Basic WinXP/AE question

I'm going nuts trying to get my IBM T60p running Windows XP SP2 to talk to my Airport Express. I originally configured the AE with this same computer but now even though it can establish a wireless connection to it, Itunes can't see it, Setup Assistant and Admin Utility can't either. My daughter's Sony Vaio can see it just fine, and all the above programs can seem to access and use the AE on her PC(right now there is not even an internet conntection-just trying to stream Itunes to my stereo). I've tried a lot-reinstalled Itunes and the Airport software, reset the AE, checked every wireless network parameter on my PC vs. the Sony, all to no avail. Help!!!!
Many Windows XP

Well, now I've spent an hour or so with Apple tech support. Reset the AE (again), reconnected with the "good" PC, and still my PC can't see the device. I can successfully ping 10.0.1.1 from my daughter's Sony PC but not from my IBM PC. All settings are as Support suggested. They told me since one of the PC's works OK it must be a problem with the other PC and not the AE (makes sense actually). Maybe some sort of software conflict? I have all firewalls turned off and as far as I can tell both PCs are set up exactly the same. Their last suggestion was to post a question here! Any ideas?

Basic Hyperion Workspace question

Is there any way to Drill-Down to data by double-clicking on the chart item in Hyperion Workspace? I can do this in Hyperion Reporting Studio.

hi all,Hi Neerav
I have very basic clone database question
If i create database A and clone database B using A...
I want to know that any operation done on A will be automatically done on Cloned database B.Oops....Now you're asking about rocket science. Sorry, I don't know.
I know about some basics:
Streams or Replication--> Which can give you data on B in read-write mode.

Basic recording/feedback question

I'm recording basic vocals against accompaniment tracks using an APOGEE ONE and Audio-Technica 40 series AT8449 condenser mic. I use only headphones, no external speakers.
If I record with "monitoring" on I constantly battle feedback/distortion, especially on songs with a wide dynamic range. When the feedback protection kicks in the message indicates that I'm getting feedback through my external speakers (which I don't have), I can minimize the problem by turning "monitoring" off but I lose the reference vocal. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. Any help is appreciated.

Basic PDF/SSL Question

Okay, I know this is a basic question, and I'm not sure if this is really where I should be posting it, but maybe someone out there has experience with this.
I have a PDF form sitting on a secure server. I have it set up to email the completed PDF back to our company when the user clicks the SUBMIT buttton. Whether or not the PDF is secure coming back to us would be dependent on the email server the user uses - not that the form sits in a secure area on our server or that the PDF is security settings are set, correct?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

Basic wifi service question

basic wifi service question
A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
Thanks!
Will

Hello WillFriedwald2
The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Basic XML Publisher Question: How to access tags in the higher levels?

Hi All,
We have a basic question in XML Publisher.
We have a xml hierarchy like below:
<CD_CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 1</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE1 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST1 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE2</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST2 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
<CATALOG>
<CAT_NAME> CATALOG 2</CAT_NAME>
<CD>
<TITLE>TITLE3 </TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST3 </ARTIST>
</CD>
<CD>
<TITLE> TITLE4</TITLE>
<ARTIST>ARTIST4 </ARTIST>
</CD>
</CATALOG>
</CD_CATALOG>
We need to create a report like below:
CATALOG_NAME     CD_TITLE     CD_ARTISTCATALOG 1     TITLE1     ARTIST1
CATALOG 1     TITLE2     ARTIST2
CATALOG 2     TITLE3     ARTIST3
CATALOG 2     TITLE4     ARTIST4
So we have to loop at the level of <CD> using for-each CD. But when we are inside this loop, we cannot access the value of CAT_NAME which is at a higher level.
How can we solve this?
Right now, we are using the work-around of set_variable and get_Variable. We are setting the value of CAT_NAME inside an outer loop, and using it inside the inner loop using get_variable.
Is this the proper way to do this or are there better ways to do this? We are running into troubles when the data is inside tables.

you can use
<?../CAT_NAME?>copy past to your template
<?for-each:CD?> <?../CAT_NAME?> <?TITLE?> <?ARTIST?> <?end for-each?>

Basic VT / Video Question

I am upgrading my CM to v4.2 this month and looking to do a limited implemenation of some video. I have read the basics on VT Advantage solution and had some questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1. Besides the obvious desktop software and hardware (camera) installation, what additonal configuration changes do I need to make to CM/Unity/gateways to get video working in the environment?
2. What kind of additional load is now placed on the network with video and what will this do to my current bandwidth configurations?

Michael,
First off you should check out the IP Video Telephony SRND if you are thinking about deploying video. Here is the link. (It's a 4.1 reference but should be 99% the same for 4.2).
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf
Somewhat brief answers to your questions.
1. QoS for video on all network devices. The above guide discusses this but the Enterprise QoS SRND is the best reference. Switched only VT advantage isn't that hard. If you have WAN links then the LLQs should be configured independantly for video and voice(still only one llq though but this will ease admin and give the ability to police the video). Call Manager locations can be created to help enforce Call Admission Control of video calls. Provisioning the bandwidth is going to be one of the harder things to configure.
ACLs will need to be adjusted for PC/Cam to Phone communication. The phone proxies the connection for the Camera and determines the camera via CDP (local on the phone switch) and then sets up a TCP connection traversing L2 vlans to L3 router and back. So if you have Phone acls they need to be adjusted. Again this is referenced in the above document.
Regions for video types. You have a few options on video quality. This response will also answer 2. You can choose Cisco wideband, 7mps each direction for the highest quality and low amount of system overhead on the pc cpu. Of course this takes up a total 14mb for video. Should only be used on local lan. Then you have increments of h263. They range from 128 up to 1536. The higher the bandwidth the better the quality and more cpu on the local pc. You will need to use regions to set the desired video codecs and locations to enforce the bandwidth the codecs require.
Lastly multipoint conferencing and other video endpoint integration. If you want conference with video you need to add MCUs. Currently (not sure on 4.2) CCM has a limitation on determining Video conference resources in an intelligent fashion. Essentially you need to have any video MCUs at the top of your MRGLs in CCM. This leaves the potential for Audio only conferences happening on very expensive video conference bridges. This calls for Device Pool and MRGL design changes for people who really only need multi-point video conferences.
Read that SRND, great resource.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

A few basic iPhoto 11 questions

I just updated my iMac from Tiger (I know...) to Mavericks and it's great, but there's a few things in iPhoto that are way different from my old version- wondering if I can re-apply these.
1) I used to be able to label photos by hovering over the photo and a dialogue box would appear, then once I titled it the title would stay under the photo. I can title photos now by going to info and titling it but when I'm in album view I can't see the titles whereas I used to. I looked in preferences and everything but can't change it, is there a way to do this?
2) This one is basic and stupid- in my old version just 1 click would enlarge the photo from album view vs highlighting it and needing to double click to enlarge. Any way to revert this back to the old way?
I know these are really stupid questions but it's just conveniences I got used to that would be nice to have back.

1. View Menu -> Select 'Titles'
2. Tap the Space Bar.

Basic ipod-nano questions - help !

Hi
i dont know what fifith generation ipod refers to....BUT
i want to get one of the new 8bg ipod nanos.
3 basic questions:
1. I'm really confused about the current relationship between ipods & encripted/ copy protected mp3's. I don't buy from itunes (yet) - i just want to use my current mp3 collection for now.
Can i just drag & drop these onto the ipod without any hassle ???
2. How many songs/mp3s does 8gb actually hold in terms of time/numbers ?
3. I'm on a three year old emac with OS X 3.9 - Is this an issue or can i just expect to connect up & get on with it. ( I'm fire-wire & only USB 1. on this machine.)
thanks someone....
d

A Fifth Generation iPod refers to the 30GB, 60GB or 80GB iPod with video.
1. If your current MP3s were not purchased from some other online store and are not copy protected they'll work with your iPod
2. Around 2000 depending on song length and file format. The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC (MP4)format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. You'll get a similar number if you MP3 are that bit rate or lower, the figures are pretty approximate.
3. You won't be able to use Firewire to update, only to charge. USB 1.1 will be signigicantly slower that USB 2 but if you can live with that should work ok.

Extremely basic 802.11n questions

I just replaced an older AirPort hub with a Time Capsule, and I'm puzzled about the status of 802.11n networking.
I only connect wirelessly to the Time Capsule with two core2duo machines (a MacBook and a MacBook Pro). The one older machine in the house with a pre-extreme AirPort card, a G5 iMac, is connected directly via ethernet. I had been under the impression that the MacBooks needed to be enabled for 802.11n use, but the Time Capsule disk does not appear to contain the 802.11n enabler (although this IS referenced in the opening ReadMe). Is there an enabler somewhere that I need to apply to these two machines? Is this automatically part of Leopard (as some things I've read have implied) or of something else? How can I determine that the machines really are enabled for 802.11n use?
And then, how do I determine whether the network is actually running at 802.11n speed (and range)? My understanding is that connecting any non-n device (presumably including my iPhone) to the network will cause it to revert to b/g; how do I determine that this has happened? And does it revert back to n immediately after the non-n device disconnects?
Thanks for any information, or for pointers to something more comprehensive on this than what I've found so far.

James A. Weston wrote:
I don't know how to test the so-called "speed" of a wireless network other than to use a stopwatch, but my understanding is that a mixed n/g/b network is only slowed down when a b or g client is actually using the network.
And one g client using the network would slow down n-client users but not all the way down to g speeds. In other words, the n network does not revert to a g network.
Assuming your understanding is correct, that answers the basic question I was asking. It also suggests that there's no reason for me to carefully turn off wireless networking on my iPhone whenever I'm home: it won't slow down network backups to Time Capsule unless I'm actually doing something significant on it.
Thanks.

Basic Start-up Questions:Modem, Libraries, TV Sets

I haven't set up Apple TV yet because I have some basic questions that may involve permanent decisions about where we install it. My questions are so basic they don't seem to be addressed in the set-up instructions or the forums:
One~Does the Apple TV box replace my current Qwest modem~ in other words, is it like an Airport Extreme base station that will also handle our wireless signals to all our laptops and wireless printing? Do we still need our Qwest modem?
Two~can Apple TV be associated with other laptops and their associated iTunes libraries? For example, when my son wants to watch something and plugs in his laptop, can he buy something and watch it with his account, and then another time I can do the same with my account? Or is it only one Apple TV unit to one account and/or laptop?
And last, can Apple TV be moved to different TVs in the same house (bedroom, living room, etc.) Is the streaming content only streamed to one TV without interfering with with people watching satellite content on other TVs? Or should each TV have its own Apple TV unit?
Thanks~!

TV is no wireless router but a wireless (or wired) client
Do we still need our Qwest modem?
yes.

correct authorization of iTunes on all machines (up to 5) provided, yes to all
And last, can Apple TV be moved to different TVs in the same house (bedroom, living room, etc.)
yes.

yes.
you stream content wirelessly or wired to TV via your home network.

Basic colour management questions

Hi,
I am a biology PhD student and I am reasonably proficient in using computers for everything except when it comes to colour management. I frequently encounter people at Uni who struggle when working on posters etc. because the colours do not print the way they looked on their monitors. I try to explain that most computer monitors are not calibrated correctly.
Anyway, I have my monitor calibrated, the area where I run into trouble is when assigning colour profiles. For example, I need to scan some photos using a flat bed scanner, and I don't know which colour profile to assign it. Should I assign it the calibrated profile that I created or will this only work on my computer. I need to be able to share these images and know that they will look the same on other computers.
I also don't understand what is meant by converting to a working space. I have an Apple PDF about Tiger colour management but it is a bit too technical for me.
Basically I was hoping someone could explain the basics to me or point me towards a good article.
One last question, the scanner I use is a very old UMAX Astra 2100U scanner that does not work in OS X. I have to boot up in Windows and scan there then go back to OS X. Am I likely to run into problems taking the picture between the two OSes?
Thank-you in advance,
Ben

What is the point of using profiles other than these two. For example, I know most digital cameras embed their own profile. Is there an advantage to using this over say Adobe RGB or should I always convert these images to Adobe RGB or sRGB?
Scanner & camera profiles have two main purposes AFAICT: in colour-managed environments where the original file is sent to a printer or displayed on a monitor, the profile will enable the output to be adjusted for the idiosyncracies of the imaging device; and when opening a file for editing, the device profile will (in theory at least) allow a more accurate conversion to the program’s working space.
If I was editing an image that I planned to print, why would I use Adobe RGB rather than convert the image to CMYK mode? Or is the colour mode (CMYK vs RGB) separate from the colorsync profile?
Yes, there are various CMYK profiles as well: some are for particular printers, while others (like SWOP, Standard Web Offset Printing) attempt to encapsulate typical commercial printing environments. I work in prepress, where CMYK is always the eventual destination—but a printer that uses six or more colours of ink can often represent a larger portion of the RGB gamut than a four-colour press can, for example producing more vivid blues than would be possible in CMYK.
Another issue is that CMYK images that have been optimized for prepress often look somewhat dull or ‘washed out’ on a monitor, especially one that has a high colour temperature (as is typical outside a prepress environment). If the image been tagged with an appropriate CMYK profile, the display may be able to compensate to some extent, but conversion from RGB to CMYK very frequently results in some ‘shoehorning’ of a wide range of colours into a narrower one.

4 Basic Random HANA Questions

First, I would like to apologise if my questions sound too basic, I'm still new and trying to understand HANA.
1) HANA database will be physically located in memory, or I guess we can say CPU. When I think of database I always think server. Can it be called HANA server?
2) Can reporting be done in HANA? Does HANA provide a tool within it's application that can do reporting? Or is another reporting tool needed like BWA, BO, BI, etc? If so, which are compatible with HANA?
3) Architecture Question:
a) When data is submitted in R/3 (ex. sales order), the data is stored on R/3 server, then replicated in near real time via Sybase to HANA database? Is this how it works?
b) Why is Sybase a server, Is the data being replicated stored on Sybase server first before being transferred to HANA database? If so, there are 2 servers (R/3 & Sybase) and 1 Memory (HANA)?
4) Inside In-Memory Computing Studio, Modeling is where the tables are chosen to be replicated. If I chose table XYZ to be replicated in SAP HANA, will the replication automatically create a copy of the table in SAP HANA?
5) Is there a need to learn any ABAP/4 to be involved in HANA? Can I be an expert in HANA without knowing ABAP/4?
Thanks in advance, and again I apologies for my noobish questions.

Here are random answers:
1) Yes, there is HANA server (hardware machine(s)) and HANA database server (software). HANA server has RAM (lots of it), SSDs and traditional HDD storage. HANA db uses all of those, including CPU cache of course.
2) You can report using SBO BI or MS Excel (please see earlier thread on this forum). You can use HANA studio for preview of tables/views content, but it isnot reporting tool per se.
3) Data can be replicated using SAL LT Replicator (ABAP-based), SBO DataServices and in some cases using Sybase Replication Server. Please have a look at recently recorded webinar at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/khnc
4) That's the idea. Details depend on the replication mechanism chosen.
5) No, but it does not hurt to know ABAP. You would need to learn HANA-specific language called "SQLScript" if you go deep into HANA-based development.
