Best Cassette Adapter for Mi

I'm looking for a cassette adapter for my micro to hook up to my car and was wondering if there is a clear difference in quality between models. Would Belkins Mobile Cassette Adapter for 5 bucks at walmart do fine or should I get one from Creative / Sony / some other good company.

It does make a difference though. Some car stereos work better with certain types.
This being the case then it would NOT matter what any of us suggested as a good adapter. It will vairy by what he has for a deck in his car and acoustic preferences. Your best bet is probably going to be try a couple and return them if you don't like them. Most Wal-Marts usually have a couple differnt ones. Depending on where you are you could also try Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City etc..

What is the best power adapter for use in Eureopean countries with Macbook?

I am travelling in Europe and want to find the safest adapter for my macbook... any advice?
Thanks!!

I like the one you can buy in the Apple store -- you pull out the American style plug and stick on the European one, and it looks and works exactly like at home. But if cost is a concern, buy adaptors to stick on the end of your American plug at any airport or hardware store -- they're much cheaper and work just fine too.

Car cassette adapter vs. fm transmitter

I have a cassette adapter for my ipod. It stinks. The sound quality is poor, and, the cassette gets stuck in the cassette deck. The wire from the cassette adapter gets tangled and caught in the ashtray. Having had such a bad experience with the cassette adapter, I plan on purchasing an fm transmitter. I also like the idea of being able to play the ipod through an indoor stereo system when I'm at home or at someone else's home. I want a wireless, reasonably priced model with a car charger, but not one that requires the car charger itself to transmit. I've looked at a number of them. Maxell looks promising as does Belkin, Griffin, xtrememac and xtremeplay, but which one. I don't even want to hear an argument for another cassette adapter and I don't want to pay an arm and leg for something that I will probably replace in a year or so when the second or third generation of video ipods comes out. I've read the info in this and other forums but they are cluttered and people tend to promote what they have. Any helpful information would be appreciated.

b Various Methods to Connect to a Car Stereo System, or Listen to Your iPod in the Vehicle
b Best:
Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack of your iPod, to the mini-jack input (or AUX RCA input jacks) of your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units may have this feature.
There are also some after-market, moderate to fairly expensive direct interfaces, that hook into your existing car stereo to provide a high-quality, direct connection. Most will also power/charge the iPod. Pretty slick, but can be pricey ($80-$300). If money is no object, a clean way to go. Not very portable from car to car if at all.

b Better:
Connect your iPod to a cassette adaptor and play your tunes through your car's cassette player. Some new cars no longer come with a cassette player, so it may not be an option. It will provide even better audio quality if you can run the audio feed out of the dock connector (see the SendStation link below). Can be portable between cars that have a cassette player and also be used in your home cassette system.
b Good:
Attach an FM transmitter to your iPod and play the tunes through an unused FM station. Convenient, but wireless FM transmitter signals are susceptible to static and outside interference, and can vary in strength and quality depending on your location. Some noticeable degradation and distortion, depending on the quality of the transmitter, the sensitivity of your ears and the airwave congestion in your area. Highly portable between cars, and may be used in a home system. FM transmitters that need to be plugged into a DC auto jack may not work in a home environment (without some sort of adaptor).
b Marginal:
Attach an external speaker system to the iPod and play it in the car. Workable, but not too good - unless you spring for a $300+ Bose (or similar) system. But why? Only if your vehicle has no Stereo system, perhaps.
b Brave Techno-Geek:
This site gives some direction on adapting your own car stereo by yourself: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/ . Risky, but it has been successfully done by a forum member.
Whichever you choose, power the iPod through your cars DC power -- either from a power adapter, or as part of the combined audio adaptor. Have a method to secure the iPod to the dash/console/etc. See the reviews for all the various accessories at the iLounge
You will also get better audio output if the dock connection plug is used, rather than the headphone jack. See this URL for a novel adaptor: https://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pd_lousb.html. Others types are also available via this site.
I have read positive and negative reviews of each method, and within method there are great variations in performance of different manufacture's systems and peoples opinions of their performance. Some cassette adaptors/FM transmitters work poorly, some better.
FWIW: I have the iTrip Mini & the Newer Technology RoadTrip!+ FM transmitters, a Belkin cassette adaptor (used both with & w/out the PocketDock) and two vehicles with the BlitzSafe direct interface. Using the same song in the same car, I found that the FM transmitters worked, but not as good as the cassette adapter via the headphone jack. Using the PocketDock on the cassette adapter resulted in a significant audio quality improvement. As expected, the Blitzsafe direct connect was exceptionally better than everything else: less tinny, a more warmer/richer sound, and close to true CD quality.

Best iPod cassette adapter?

Anyone know what the best iPod cassette adpater is? I have read some horror stories on Amazon of really bad ones.

Monster, famously known for its top-performing audio cables has their own cassette adapter; I use it personally and love it.

Best Mini Display to DVI adapter for 2011 17" MBP w/no blocked ports!

I am looking to get a Mini Display to DVI adapter for my 2011 17" MBP.
+(Preferably it would even be one with a 6' cord.)+
It is not clear which one I should buy. Apple's (adapter only, no cord), is $30, while I can see others for far less on Amazon.
I have read that some of these adapters actually block the FW800 and USB ports on either side.
A blocked, or displaced FW800 port is a deal breaker.
1. Can someone with a 2011 17" MBP tell me that they have either one of these adapters, or the one with the cord, and that it doesn't block their FW800 port? (I'll pay the $30 (albeit grudgingly) if its the only one that works.)
2. This may be a dumb question, but the specs on these adapters say that they are capable of 1080p resolution. Would that mean they would work with a 1920x1200 monitor?

You might want to try the "MBP Display" discussion threads, might be able to find what you are looking for in there or get better support there.
I don't think I can help very much, but I have the Apple's adapter (no cord) and it doesn't block my usage of FW.

What is the best bose sounddock adapter for iphone 5

I am so diheartened that my wonderful bose docking system is not compatible to my new iphone 5 and the lightening adapter for £25 does not look to be very sturdy or even athsetic. Ive heard they only work on analogue not digital.

Apple adapter works fine ,mine does on Bose Sound Dock
If you have a Sound Dock 10 ,Bose do a Bluetooth receiver
which replaces the 30 pin plug built in
Beware cheap adapter knockoffs on e-bay

IPod w/Cassette Adapter-How to Optimize Sound Quality?

I have I believe a G2 iPod (15 GB), and I play it in my car using a cassette adapter. I've found that to keep the sound from degrading at above average volumes, I have to make some adjustments. One, I have to set the EQ to 'Bass Reducer'. Two, I have to make sure the volume on the iPod is at about 80%. If I go above that, the sound distorts. The lower you go below that, the more hissing you get w/ the playback. I also turn the 'Sound Check' setting on.
Any other recommendations on how to optimize the sound quality when playing it through your vehicle sound system? Also, I'm thinking about getting a G5 unit (most likely the 4 GB Nano). Anyone have any feedback on whether I can expect better sound quality, in particular in my vehicle with the setup outlined above, by upgrading to the newer unit?

Cassette Adapter with Flat Port (?)

Dear iPod experts,
I am an English teacher and I would like to play some of the useful MP3 files on my iPod 30GB (5th Generation) in my class which is equipped with one powerful JVC tape recorder without a radio -- so FM transmitter is out of the question.
The store where I bought my 30GB iPod explained that what I need is a Cassette Adapter which Provides iPod playback through a tape player with a flat jack (?).
He emphasized that I had to buy a Cassette Adapter whose jack is flat (?), if you will, so that it fits the bottom port of my 30GB iPod. When I asked why he said the top port is not suitable for iPod playback through a tape player and could damage my iPod. He said the top port is weak.
However, when I was searching online for such a Cassette Adapter, all of them have a jack at one end which fits from top. e.g.
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=153161
Now, first would you please help find what that flat jack for the bottom port is called so that I could use that when I google?
Secondly, what should I do now? Is what they say about top and bottom ports on iPod 30GB correct?
Any assistance in this regard is most appreciated.
Best wishes,
iPodQuest.

While you can find and use a Cassette adapter with an iPod dock connector, a normal casette adapter with headphone jack that plugs into the top of the iPod will work perfectly fine. I use one in my car everyday. Yes I do have to tunr the volume up on the iPod to almost 100% to get the sound level to match the rest of the stereo (so that when I eject the adapter and go to radio, the sound volume is the same rather than blasting to compensate for the iPod), but other than that, it works fine.

Which cassette adapter to buy?

I am planning on buying a 5th Generation IPod Nano. I am not sure which cassette adapter to buy to connect it to the combination CD/Cassette player in my car. I want to play the MP3 player in my car. I heard not to use a FM transmitter because of poor radio reception in my area. I also heard there are no adapters that connect to a CD, only to a cassette. That leaves a cassette as the only way to play my IPod Nano MP3 player in my car. My car is a 1999 Honda Civic, so it is not new and does not have up to date equipment. Which cassette adapter and model number is best for me, sounds good, is not hard to install, and is under $100?

Thanks for the reply. The Monster cassette adapter Model Al Cas - Adpt S you sent me the link for looks pretty good and is only $19.95. I looked at the Monster website (monstercable.com) and they also have another model cassette adapter called the ICAR Play Cassette 800 model AL 800 for $24.95. Do you think this model - the AL 800 - is better for me than the first model - the Adpts S?

Can we use single DB Adapter for multiple tables

Hi,
I have 3 tables. ONE is the Master table and other 2 tables having Primary and foreign key relationships with the Master Table.
Data is enter in the Tables 2 & 3 (based on Master Table Primary key)
I have to use a DB Adapter in BPEL Process which will be in Transaction (what type of Transaction is Best in such a Scenario).
- How do i implement it in BPEL.
- Can i use a Single DB Adapter for Multiple Tables ? (*Views* should not be created for tables 1, 2 & 3),
as we want to avoid using multiple DB Adapters, as in future Tables may increase or decrease...
- while in Transaction if Table 2 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back on error and also if Table 3 fails in Inserting / Updating, it should roll back table 2 and Table 3.
- how access to concurrent users is maintained / managed in such a scenarios.
But everything should be done using Single DB Adapter without creating a separate view.
Is this Possible in BPEL..
If not, How do we design, Implementation such a BPEL Process in Transaction with a best in Performance (both BPEL Process & DB Resources)
thanks in advance
thanks & regards,
anvv sharma

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have few quires.
If we use PL/SQL, how do we implement transaction and Exception Handling appropriately based on the Error / Exception in BPEL.
If the Table 2 or Table 3 gives out Error / Exception, i have to handle it separately and intimate accordingly.
Suppose, if Table 2 got Error / Exception - Error Handling would be 'Roll back due to error in Table2'
Thanks & regads,

Oracle Integration Adapter for SAP R/3

I am working with a customer implementing Oracle EBS Release 12.2.
The customer has implemented SAP for financial modules and the oracle solution considers an EBS - SAP Integration for Receivables. Does anyone have any experience integrating Oracle EBS Receivables with SAP? Can you give us some guidance regarding EBS - SAP Integration best practices?
We have found a paper regarding Oracle Integration Adapter for SAP R3. We would like to have some information about what are the Oracle products we can integrate with SAP using Oracle Integration Adapter for SAP R3.
In case Oracle EBS can integrate with SAP using Oracle Integration Adapter, we would like to know if anyone has experience integrating Oracle EBS Receivables with SAP using Oracle Integration Adapter for SAP R3 for AR transactions and Receipts?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you veyr much Manoj for your reply. I just tried it now buit no fruits.
I wonder if it can really be due to privileges given to my account, which allows to connect thru SAP Front-end but does not allow to connect by any other means. I can not think of any other possible reason.

DVI Adapter for QHD displays?

Hi everybody
I'd like to ask how to connect a non-apple 2560x1440 display to my MacBook Pro Retina. It's supposed to connect via a MiniDisplayPort-DVI adapter, but this has a built-in limitation of 1900x1200. Apple has an adapter for higher resolutions, the Dual-Link DVI adapter, but it looks as if it needs two cables from the screen to work, and my screen only connects via the DVI cable. I don't want to spend 100$ buying the adapter only to learn that it won't work with my screen. What to do? Does anyone know of any non-apple Thunderbolt-DVI adapters that support 2560x1440 resolution? I've tried an HDMI adapter as well, but that's the same problem, the screen also only runs 1920x1080 when connected this way.
Best regards

Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

I believe 3GS stereo jack damaged vehicle when used with cassette adapter

I believe the 3GS damaged my automobile stereo through some sort of short in the headphone jack that is related to voice control. I've noticed other threads about headphones and voice control causing strange behaviors on the iPhone 3GS. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem with a cassette adapter as well. Here is my experience. First, I've owned both a 2G and a 3G prior to my 3GS. That is over 2 years experience with the iPhone platform prior to the issue. During that time I've used the same cassette adapter to output iTunes music to my car stereo system (same vehicle with original stereo during entire time as well…) - which is the OEM stereo that GM installs, as I own a 2K4 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. I’ve had zero issues with the 2G and 3G. Then, the first morning I go out to the truck with the 3GS and plug it in, there is a pop that comes out of the speakers, voice control comes on, then the phone locks up and has to be hard reset. I later notice that one of the backlight bulbs in the stereo is now blown (darkening half the display) and the vehicle speedometer is malfunctioning. The speedo issue might seem surprising, but given how GM wires everything back the stereo system for Onstar monitoring, while I don't know for sure, I assume the stereo received some sort of short from the 3GS and then passed that along to the electronics which control the instruments. The analog GM instrument cluster displays (such as speed) are all managed by electronics that drive small servos that actually move the needles.
Anyhow, again, I feel it was the 3GS that caused this damage - as I'd been using other iPhone products for 2+ years and had no prior problems. Immediately after pluggin the 3GS in the first time the problem occurred. I think the voice control activating intermittently is a symptom of the problem. 8-9 times out of 10, when I plug the cassette adapter into the 3GS, voice control automatically starts, yet not all of the time. I am still using the same cassette adapter, but now plug it into the iPhone before it is inserted into stereo. While I’ve had no other issues with my stereo or instruments, I’m also very careful about not plugging the cassette adapter into the iPhone while the adapter is in the cassette player. I will also note that I'm on 2nd 3GS phone after an exchange for an unrelated issue and the new phone still intermittently activates voice control when the cassette adapter is plugged in. The issue also occurs with a 2nd cassette adapter (of different manufacture) which I use with a stereo in my home. In my mind, there something definitely wrong with the headphone jack on the 3GS and I believe it damaged my vehicle. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Need best Architecture design for the following scenario

Hi Experts,
I need best architecture design for the following scenario:
Sender: Mail
Receiver: if sender body contain u201DApproveu201D, then call SOAP adapter, If SOAP adapter execute successfully, then send Mail(SOAP adapter executed successfully) and SMS . So receiver is SOAP, Mail and SMS.
My current approach issue:
Three message mapping:
Mapping1: mail to SOAP
Mapping2: mail to Mail
Mapping3: mail to SMS
In interface determinant>u201DSelect all three operation mappingu201D> u201Cselect order at runtimeu201D.
Issue in current approach: For me first SOAP adapter should complete successfully, after that only my Mail and SMS operation mapping should execute:
But problem is before success of SOAP adapter engine, Mail and SMS mapping completed or integration engine executed.
Note: There is possible to fail the SOAP request in adapter engine.
Kindly help me --> u201CAm I going correct way or want to change the architectureu201D?
Thanks for advance!!
Regards, Kumar

What do you mean by successful execution of soap call? Are you talking about Successful response (happy flow) from the soap call instead of application error ? Then based on the response you want to decide sending mail and sms. How big call is your soap ? If your soap interface is very simple I can give the other possible way.
Sender sends the message, use mapping to read the content and then do soap call in the mapping itself and after seeing the soap response decide about two receivers (mail and SMS). If your soap call is very simple one, you can go for it. Otherwise I would not recommend this. The reason is you loose some visibility regards to monitoring during soap call in the mapping.
Other option is go for CCBPM. Here you receive the message, use send step to soap interface which is sync step. Then after seeing the response create another block with fork steps each for two senders mail and sms. If response bad then dont proceed or execute the next block. Simply use exeception or control step to jump out from the block,
