Can I use my MBP Retina to record a podcast?

Hi everyone,
I have been asked to host a Podcast for a club I run. I have recorded videos and instructional demos etc on my MBP Retina before, but just using the onboard mic rather than anything external.
Myself on my own in a room worked perfectly.
Would I be able to have 3/4 fella's around the table, MBPR in the middle, hit record and then have all of us chatting through an agenda and record to a suitable level?
Without going to the expense of buying 1/2/3 external microphones I mean.

Anybody?
No?

Can I use Solaris with my Home Recording Studio?

Hello,
I am currently building a basic home recording studio. I recently assembled a new computer and will be purchasing music recording equipment very soon. Before I purchase the audio recording gear, I was curious about a few things pertaining to the use of Solaris as my possible choice system.
The data that I store on my hard drives will need to be secure. I had originally considered RAID 5 though recently found out about RAID Z, which appears to be far ahead of the other RAIDs. I am curious to know more about how to set up a RAID Z system.
The computer will be running Solaris, various Linux or BSD, and Windows Vista. I have 500GB x4 hard drives. I am considering separating one and using it strictly for Vista, and using the remaining 3 with a RAID set-up for nix. If I had a choice, I would put much less hard drive space into Vista (capping it at 150 to 200 GB), though I have yet to come across a RAID system that effectively or efficiently cooperates cross-platform. With that in mind, the majority of the remaining 1.5TB can go into my studio OS - hopefully Solaris - while left-over hard drive space is set aside for various other *nix.
I've used Solaris 10 before, though haven't really gone into detail on the mechanics of such features as ZFS, zones, now RAID Z, and the many more amazing features that Solaris provides. Likewise, I am not really familiar with how well the system might operate with software/applications that I could use for recording and composing music.
Beyond the available 2TB (or 1.5TB RAID-ready) space, my computer is running on a new 64-bit quad-core AMD CPU (~2.6GHz) and currently has 4GB 1066MHz RAM. In my search for preparing a computer that suits me for high performance recording - including the editing and mastering of audio - I am attempting to narrow down my options on the software side of things. I have been very satisfied with the general file management of Solaris, though am unsure of how well it might run as the software side of a home recording studio. An additional factor in deciding will be the software's compatbility with audio PCI cards and external recording/audio interfaces. There is always a question of whether or not the necessary drivers, firmware, or similar is available between any given hardware and software components.
Some other *nix options I have considered - "Ubuntu Studio 64-bit" (though it appears to prefer 32-bit) and "64 Studio" (also Debian-based, though appears to be optimized for 64-bit). Some colleagues have used Gentoo with studio applications, though I don't know of any Linux distributions that offer the versatility, power, stability, and efficiency of Solaris for the operating system that it is.
If I use something like "64 Studio", I will have the advantage of a system that is ready-built for studio recording purposes as well as a system that I know is compatible with the sound gear that I am considering purchasing. However, those systems are restricted by their file system types, RAID availability and dependability, and the general disadvantages of using the Linux kernel in general. (I enjoy Linux, though I admittedly prefer Unix over it.)

Thank you!

Caught another typo.

I'm not sure what your question is. If you have particular software you want to run, you should see what you can get that package to run under. Sound hw stuff don't tend to be too portable unless it's written on top of OSS (htttp://www.opensound.com). Were I you, I'd consider separating out the storage part and the processing part. Get something like a cheap dell sc440 to be a file server and give the drives to that (unless you actually can get all the components working under solaris).

Can I use my MBP while in flight?

Can I use my MBP while flying?
Tech specs say maximum altitude is 10,000 feet - does that mean I cant turn it on at 30,000 feet?

I have used my MacBook Pro at 30,000 feet many times, and I have never had any problems.
Cabins are pressurized at 8,000 feet, so you are well within the limits.

How can I use my MBP's(late 2008) display as a secondary screen for MCP retina display?

I've got my new MBP retina dispaly and I would like to use my old MBP as a secondary display.
Is there any way to do this without installing different types of software like ScreenRecycler?
I tried to connect the only cable I have which is an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable but nothing really happened!

Thanks It actually works when you want to share the screen.
However I'm looking for using the old MBP's screen as a secondary display so that I can have two screens like an external monitor.
Also when you use the share screen it has some delay because of the wireless network.

Can you use ESB to insert multiple records into a Database

We have an XML file that has a Parent/Child relationship.
In situation 1 we have a single parent record in the xml file. We can insert the record into the database successfully.
In situation 2 we have a parent and a an associated child record. By using a filter expression to identify the existence of the child record we can route to the first DB Adapter to insert the parent then to the second DB Adapter to insert the child.
Is this final scenario logical and also possible.
Situation 3 we have multiple child records associated to a single parent. So we would first insert the parent record then insert all the child records.
Thanks

I use PL/SQL for this if you are using Oracle.
Have a look at this post, it is for AQ but the concept can be used for PL/SQL
Re: Can I pass a pl/sql table as a parameter from a database adaptor
I will send you an example

Well, the Voice Memo app will do recording of voice memos, or you can download the Dragon Dictation app. That one you can copy the text that it creates to other apps.

Can I use my MBP 15 reboot CD to wipe a hard drive of a 13 inch MBP??

I recently upgraded from my (late 2008/Early 2009?) 13 inch Macbook Pro to a brand spanking new 15 inch Macbook Pro, i5. I wanted to give away the 13 inch to a friend, however I lost the wipeout disks for that a long time ago and don't want all of my crap (and personal information) left on it.
Can I use the new disks that I got for my 15 inch, or would i have to acquire the disks from elsewhere?
Thanks!

No. The gray discs that come with a Mac will only boot that particular model, built at about the same time.
would i have to acquire the disks from elsewhere?
Yes. Contact AppleCare, give them the serial number, and they'll send a new set for a small fee. The new owner will need them anyway.

How many 3rd party displays can be connected to MBP retina 15"

I was just wondering how many 3rd party displays can be connected to the MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and 16GBs of ram. I have contacted the Apple Online Chat and every time I get a different awnser. I know that there are 2 Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port on the machine. Can someone help me please?
Thanks,
Jayden

Near all screens. You can use the HDMI port to connect the MacBook Pro with Retina display to a HDMI screen, but you have got Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort, so you can use Mini DisplayPort adapters to connect your MacBook to a DVI or VGA screen too

How can I use an external mic to record meeting audio with quicktime player

I'm trying to use a SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic to record meetings at a conference I am running.
I'm using Quicktime for the recordings.
The SoundTech CM-1000 conference mic does not transmit any sound when connected to the Audio-in plug on my MacBook Pro.
Does my MacBook Pro require external mics that are also powered - connected via a usb port rather than, or at least in addition to, the audio-in plug, for instance?
What's happening here?
Steve

Macbook Pro does not have a microphone input
You have two options:
1 buy a USB mic and connect to a USB port
2 buy a small very cheap sound mixer that has 3.5 mic level input and a line level out put
something like this:
DAP Audio

Can I use a trigger to keep record of deleted data?

I am trying to log changes to a table, including deletes. The trigger is working effectively for INSERT and UPDATE, but does not capture the data from the row when I create a DELETE trigger. I have tried various trigger syntax methods to capture the data in a new "log" table, but I only seem to get the key field after the trigger fires.
My base table has only a few fields: ID (key), NAME, DESCRIPTION, CREATED_ON, UPDATED_ON.
On delete, I would like to capture the data that was deleted for record keeping and audit trails. Below is the latest iteration of my trigger define code:
create trigger ADDRESS_TYPES_TRIGGER_D
BEFORE DELETE ON "MEDPORTAL"."MEDPORTAL_XS.data::ADDRESS_TYPES"
REFERENCING OLD ROW AS thisRow
FOR EACH ROW
begin
declare newId INT;
declare deleteId INT := 131;
select "MEDPORTAL"."MEDPORTAL_XS.data::Address_Types_Log_ID".NEXTVAL into newID from DUMMY;
INSERT INTO "MEDPORTAL"."MEDPORTAL_XS.data::ADDRESS_TYPES_LOG"
(ID,
USERNAME,
ACTION_ID,
ADDRESS_TYPE_ID,
NAME,
DESCRIPTION,
UPDATED_ON
values(
:newId,
current_user,
:deleteId,
:THISROW.ID,
:THISROW.NAME,
:THISROW.DESCRIPTION,
current_timestamp
end
This code captures the newId from the sequence as the new table key. It also captures the USERNAME, ACTION_ID (coded to a delete message in another table), ADDRESS_TYPE_ID (THISROW.ID), and the current_timestamp. How can I capture the data in NAME and DESCRIPTION in the log table?
I have tried
create trigger ADDRESS_TYPES_TRIGGER_D
AFTER DELETE ON "MEDPORTAL"."MEDPORTAL_XS.data::ADDRESS_TYPES"
REFERENCING OLD ROW AS thisRow
FOR EACH ROW
and
create trigger ADDRESS_TYPES_TRIGGER_D
AFTER DELETE ON "MEDPORTAL"."MEDPORTAL_XS.data::ADDRESS_TYPES"
FOR EACH ROW
But I cannot capture the data. I am on the AWS rev 70 image (1.0.70.386119)
Is the DELETE trigger capable of capturing the data?

If you can add a step to disable backup job start of ETL and enable backup job after ETL completes.
exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = 'LS backup Job Name', @enabled = 0 --Disable
exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = 'LS backup Job Name', @enabled = 1 --Enable
create a record in a table:
In those line you can create a new job as well which will check record in table if its 0(ETL completed) then enable the backup job and if its 1(ETL running/started) then disable the job. This job will run every 5 mins to check the flag in table. Depending
on ETL status it will enable or disable tlog backup job that way you will be able to resume log shipping without delay.

How can I use an how can I use an Olympus digital voice recorder. I have nowhere to put the installation cd

Olympus digital voice recorder

Many of the higher end Olympus dictation devices use a proprietary DSS or DS2 audio format that only Olympus software can decode. If you can't get a working replacement CD--"can't get it in"? What's the problem?--you could try the downloadable software for the DS-5000 instead. First, get the DSSPlayerV7.01.dmg full installer (the link labeled DSS Player for MAC V6 Upgrade to V7), then the last update (DSS Player for MAC V7.2.8 Update). Worst case, it just won't work with the DS-7000.

HT1338 I can't Update my MBP Retina 13" to 10.8.2

Hi everyone. I just bought my Macbook Pro Retina 13" a few days ago. I can't update my software the to 10.8.2, my current software is 10.8.1.
And the update doesnt show on the app store or when i hit the apple logo then software update. Nothing shows that i should update it to 10.8.2
Though there is the iPhoto app that it should be updated but it wont start to update because my system is not yet 10.8.2.
Can anyone help me here how to update to 10.8.2?

About the only comfort that can be given at the moment is that it is not just you. See this thread for example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20315602
There are a few people who are managing to install the update that was issued but subsequently revoked, but most are waiting and hoping that Apple will very soon issue an updated updater.
