Best Way To Get Back In The Game

Hello All,
I am at a point where I need to re-train myself to get marketable again. I have been out of the SQL Server arena since 2009. At that point I was supporting a large SQL Server 2000 environment. I have been a DBA my entire career so
I know I can come up to speed quickly.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for training alternatives, either online or at a facility. I live in West Palm Beach. I feel at this point I really need to get a Microsoft Certification. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

In addition to
MS certification, you need hands-on experience. Purchase (around $50) a copy of SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition:

Start training from books, videos & online. Always (always!!!) practice along on your own copy of SQL Server.

HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

BEST WAY TO GET BOOKS FOR THE IPAD

What is the best way to get books on my ipad ?? Do i use Ibooks or another site? Also do i use itunes cards or do i need ibooks cards ?? instead of a credit card.

ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them, so if you buy an ebook from a site then you can generally only read them in that store's app / e-reader - so books bought from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app, books from Amazon in the Kindle app / e-reader etc. As to which is best, then it depends on what books you want, who sells them and their prices, and whether they have an app for the iPad where you can read them. If you buy from Apple then you can use iTunes cards or your credit card.

The best way to get back to Tiger?

Ok, I've had it. After pulling my hair out all weekend I am tired and unhappy. Problem after problem has come from this upgrade. Hours were spent stuck on the blue screen after an upgrade, my USB HDD drives won't mount, my flash drive won't UN-mount, no more flash in the web browser (no YouTube), and the fact that my Photoshop 7 is broke and won't run in Leopard is the last straw. I want to go back to Tiger. If I use the gray disks from Tiger can I just install it over Leopard? Or will I have to reformat the drive with the Tiger disks?
Has anyone successfully downgraded yet? Will I be able to get a refund on Leopard from the Apple store?

I appreciate the reply but I'm obviously not being clear with my peculiar problem. I can access nothing other than the login screen where my password is rejected, I can't reboot to discs (Tiger or Leopard) or single user, therfor I have no access to system pref. or any other mechanisms to fix my computer. Only rebooting with option key gives me anything other than the login screen--Gray Screen with Padlock Icon & Password Box. (what is this screen anyway?) It also fails to react (positively or negatively) to my password)
My HD is firewire and yes my Tiger clone works but it's moot in this condition. Hope that makes things clearer.
Thanks for your input

Any way to get back to the old iPod view in iTunes 7?

I'd prefer it if when I connected my iPod that iTunes acted the way it did before iTunes 7 -- ie, iPod shows up in Source list, and the list of music on the iPod is displayed in Browse view.
With iTunes 7 each time I connect my iPod I get the iPod summary screen, and I have to click on the iPod music list, and then click on the Browse button in the lower right to get the view I want.
Is there any way to set iTunes to open to the Browse view by default? It's annoying to go through that summary screen every time. I wish it would just remember the view the last time I had the iPod connected.
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. I searched but couldn't find a mention of it.
thanks
PD

I would also like to know how to get rid of ugly *** white background. It ****** me off every time I have to look at it. There is nothing that I see here as being an improvement over the last itunes.

Get back in the game - Fix your privacy settings

As the title says. There simply is not enough choice in what i can hide and what is publicly displayed on my profile. This needs to be addressed. I would like to hide both my birth day and my last name for privacy reasons and this currently cannot be done. Several times i have also attempted to remove them completely from my profile, I always get a nice "your preferences have been saved etc" but it never sticks. When i reset my birthday to "day" "month" "year" and click ok, as to take them off my profile, no matter what, the next time i log in sure enough they're back. I cannot remember if giving the details of my name and age was mandatory, which is fine, because i can 'trust' a large enough company as yourself not to sell them out to frauds and id thefts, but having them always publicly available is simply.... stupid. So please Skype, fix your privacy service.

What platform(s) (Windows, Mac ....) are you using Skype on? Removing my birthdate from profile worked fine for me on Windows and Windows Phone. Are you logged in from multiple devices at the same time?
btw. You can also edit your profile on your web account page here: https://secure.skype.com/portal/profile

Reset Time Capsule...Way to get back to the way it was?

I accidently reset time capsule and it was saying there were 2 IP addresses being used and so the internet was not working. I fixed the internet working by unplugging the ethernet cord and using the speed stream box we have instead, but now the time capsule is not hooked up to our mac. Do I have to completely reset all of our information? Or can I just do an update and will it go back? Thank you!

Just turn off everything and restart in the correct order.. modem first.. followed by the main router.. if TC then TC.. then the clients.. wait 2min between each startup to allow them to finish booting and so they have the address and dhcp working.

What is the best way to get rid of duplicates in the XML data?

Hi all,
Please help me with the best way to get rid of the duplicates in the XML data. Will a transform with some stylesheet do the trick? I need to read on the stylesheet first, but please tell me if that is possible. I have to deal with XML data that has tons of duplicate data. Please see one section of an XML file. You can see that for each charge, the same defendant information (address, ID numbers, etc) is included. Having 10 charges is not uncommon, so I would have the same data repeated 10 times. I first thought that I would use some temp tables to do that, but I wonder if there were a better way. Thanks a lot. Please see the data below.

What is the best way to get rid of unwanted footage permanently

I have to shot for the bin on some projects working without a script. I then can be under considerable time pressure to get something out so don't have time to to review properly during the log and transfer process as I might have multiple projects going on. What is the best way to get rid of the useless footage for good. An example is in iMovie you can mark footage as trash and then empty the trash and it trims the original clip for good, very good for saving hard drive space on the move.
Any ideas how to d this in FCP????
Have thought about the whole media manger thing but must admit to ignoring this aspect so far. Do it by moving selected clips in a project in media manager????
Have googled this to death... Thanks for all your time.

Yep,
Media Manager is the way to go.
Read the manual aout it.
It is all explained in there.

What is the best way to auto back up from a pc to time capsule?

IN MY HOUSE WE HAVE ONE MAC AND THREE WINDOWS PCS/LAPTOPS. I AM LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAY TO AUTOMATICALLY BACK UP THE PCs TO THE TIME CAPSULE.

windows 7 will not back up to a time capsule. because windows backup demands ntfs, and time capsules aren't true nas devices (they don't include the ability to fool windows into thinking its an ntfs partition)
i thnk your going to need another back up utility for your windows computers, like maybe acronis or paragon or rdrive, etc etc
theres nothing stopping you from copying files back and forth from a windows computer to a time capsule, but when it comes to windows backup it won't work

Best way to get photos from windows explorer into PSE 11

Old story. Computer crashed. I re-installed PSE 11. All of the photos are back in My Pictures. What is the best way to get all of the photos back into PSE 11. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

IPhone 4s call waiting; how do I get back to the first call?

When I'm on a call and a second call comes in I tap "hold current call and answer." I get connected to the second call and the first call is put on hold. But when I am done with the second call, how do I get back to the first call? I can't find any way to get back to the call that is on hold. I usually end up hanging up on both calls. Not good.
Also, how do I switch back and forth between two calls? How do I put the second call on hold, go back to the first call to tell that person I must call them back, then return to the second call?

How can I get back all the factory channel strip presets?

Hi Guys
I have deleted some of the channel strip presets in Logic 8, is there any easy way of getting back all the original factory ones?
Cheers,
Mike

Hey there,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Once I find them, do I just drag them into a specific presets folder on the Mac? (if so, which folder?)
Or can the installer be run just for the channel strip presets?
I don't want to end up with duplicates by mistake, either!
Thanks again,
Mike
Yes, you drag them over.
Roght click on the installer packages on the DVDs, and click on the "show package conte4nts" button. This will open the installer package, then navigate until you find the presets. If you have several DVDs, it may take time to get to them, but they're there.
You'll have to place them in your drive here :
Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / Logic /
That is where all the presets are found. You might have to enter your admin password to copy them over.
Cheers

Column Link - how to get back to the same row on previous form

Using Apex 3.2.1
I've created a column link on an updateable report which opens up another page for data entry. This is working fine but when you return to the originating page, is there a way to get back to the same row you were on before linking.
The user enters a number in the AMOUNT field. A validation trigger says they need to enter an EXPLANATION. They link to the EXPLANATION page. But when they return to the first page, they don't know which row they were on AND the value they originally entered in AMOUNT is back to the database value. So is there a way to preserve the AMOUNT value and rowid from the originating page?
Hope this makes sense and appreciate any and all help!
Sandie

Hi Sandie,
I may not be understanding the requirements completely, but one thing that strikes me off the bat is it sounds like what you need isn't really a "validation" per se. The data the user is entering may be perfectly valid, it's just that in certain circumstances additional information is required. I only mention this because an ApEx validation by definition shouldn't allow changes to be made to the database - but in your case it sounds like the information entered up to that point can be saved (as long as it satisfies actual data validation rules), but then additional information for certain rows is required.
One thing you might consider is having the Explanation page pop-up in a new window. So user is on tabular form with current row visible - user clicks on explanation link which pops up a new page - user enters explanation and clicks "submit" - pop-up page disappears leaving user right where he/she was.
Hope this helps,
John

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
