Can someone explain what exactly the 802.11.n enabler does?

I have the 802.11.n installed on my MacBook Pro laptop, (i checked through the steps provided by this site). Does this mean it is already activated or do i need to do something to actually activate it?
I am a computer 'newbie', so to speak, and don't know a whole lot about the ins & outs of what makes them work, etc., but want to learn as much as i can.
Thanks!

The 802.11n Enabler was for earlier MacBooks and maybe a couple other models.
Originally, those models came enabled only for b/g. By purchasing the 802.11n enabler the Airport Card was updated to "n" speeds.
I know, I had one of the first Core2 Duo models that came out with that configuration and had to buy the 802.11n enabler.
This was the late 2006 MacBook model.
A few months after that, all machines came with 802.11n and the updater was no longer needed.
You probably don't need this but here is the specification on who does.

Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
This is not where you should store that stuff.
Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.

Can someone explain what exactly is involved when it comes to Time Machine snapshots?

Can someone give me a brief and succint description and tutorial on how Time Machine snapshots work?
I use Time Machine (on Mac OS X obviously, ML 10.8.4) to backup my HD onto a separate external drive at least once a week.
However, like so many other users I'm online in a variety of places so most of the time (about 99%) my laptop isn't able to be connected to the external designated for HD backups and I've heard and read that the application Time Machine can use "snapshots" to create temporary backups to hold until you've connected your external the next time.
I wonder how that works?
How do I go about setting up this snapshot option so that my laptop can be regularly backing up my files without me having to be tethered to the external at the same time?
Won't that fill up my entire drive due to virtual memory or sleepimage or swapfiles or something along those lines?
And last but certainly not least, how can the user take use of this option but also prevent the TM snapshots from hogging every availabe byte of memory.

That's how it works.

Local snapshots are made automatically in portable Macs with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. Simply disconnect the Time Machine drive from your Mac and your Mac will start making local snapshots.

These snapshots are stored in the hard drive and they consume a lot of space, as they are backing up the whole hard drive. A lot of users complain about the space they take, but in general, you don't have to worry. See below.

Local snpashots will be deleted automatically when the hard drive is full, so don't worry about it. If you want to remove them, simply open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn it off. Leave it for some minutes or hours, and turn on Time Machine again, but there's no reason to do that

Can someone explain what is the Database Instant Client

Download 10.2.0.4 Database Instant Client for Apple Mac OS X on Intel x86
What does the Database Instant Client contain?
What functionality does it have?
Does it include a 'lite' version of the database to run locally? Or is it only a set of tools that can connect to a remote (on another machine) database?

It is only a client for connecting to databases. It is easier to install than the full client.
It does not include a database. Check the following link :-

Can someone explain what all the Virtualbox modules do?

I see these modules:
vboxdrv, vboxguest, vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt, vboxpci, vboxsf, and vboxvideo
I know vboxdrv is required, obviously, but I'm having trouble finding documentation about the other modules.
vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp are obviously network related. Do I need both?
vboxvideo seems like it is needed for video acceleration, etc.
Other than that, that's pretty much all I know. Can anyone provide any more info? If so, lets see if we can update the Virtualbox Arch Wiki page with some nice descriptive details of each module.
Last edited by trusktr (2011-08-31 00:09:40)

vboxnetadp is required for NAT type of network which is the default.
vboxnetflt is required if you want to create a Bridged network on your guest OS
The above information is already in the wiki page you linked to.
Also you don't require all the modules. vboxguest obviously is only if you have ArchLinux as a guest OS. vboxsf, i believe is for shared folders between host and guest, but they are autoloaded (I believe). At least I don't load them explicitly for my usage and sharing folders works for me.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi hotspot?

Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

Can someone explain what the application "iDvd" does or work?

I want to learn to use the application called iDvd but not exactly sure what exactly is it used for? Can it be used to decorate dvds with special design stickers like the covers on dvd movies?

Hi.
iDVD allows you to create a Hollywood-style DVD that can contain personal and home videos and slideshows. The DVD can be played in any DVD player and can include motion menus and music, just as the DVDs released by the major labels.

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

Can you explain what exactly cdc mean in data services......?

Hello!
I would like to know what exactly change data capture (cdc) mean in data services......?

Hi sudheer kore
CDC is basically a technical term - Change data capture. We use a few approaches to work capture changed data during ETL process. This can be called incremental approach/ delta loading of data.
Source Based CDC
-Using a timestamp, date, datetime, or int column to uniquely identify the next "band" of rows to be loaded into the delta process in combination with a status table, global variable, and where clauses of the query transform. This is demonstrated in the Tutorial file provided with Data Services in the CDC chapter.
-Using the Database native CDC functionality, available in Oracle, SQL Server and I believe Attunity
Changes are replicated to change tables in the source, marked as insert/update/delete. Data Services can natively read these tables through the use of CDC Datastore objects and Map_CDC_Operation transform.
Target Based CDC
-Must be used if the methods above are not available. The Table_Comparison transform is capable of comparing all source records to the target table to determine if an INSERT or UPDATE is required for that row.
Few links that would explain this better
Source Versus Target Based Change Data Capture
Map_CDC_Operation in Data Services

Streaming, can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

I have two ATVs both synced to one computer. I have a large music library on a second computer but can't find how to stream to one of the ATVs.
I followed the instructions in the booklet, opened iTunes on the relevant computer, chose sources on the ATV, "Connect to New iTunes" and noted the passcode, selected the ATV icon and "Click to set up", entered the passcode and the ATV icon disappeared. "My Library" shows in the sources but the ATV icon only re-appears on the computer if I switch to "Connect to New iTunes". If I then click on the icon the ATV page opens up with details of the ATV and a message saying that the ATV icon will only appear when "My Library" is selected on the ATV, but as soon as I do that the ATV icon disappears. The help file says in System Preferences sharing pane make sure "iTunes Music Sharing" is on! There is no "iTunes Music Sharing"!!
Please, can someone take this idiot through the process step by step, including how you start streaming once you have successfully made the connection?

Glad to see everything is starting to work out.
You might consider two user accounts (that's logins) with a music library in each. It's a little more work to operate, but probably less than having two libraries in one user account and providing both users are logged in and have itunes running you should get both libraries available to you at the same time on the tv (obviously you would need to switch between them on the tv).
Otherwise I'd consolidate them by opening itunes (with library 1) and then dragging and dropping the music files from the music folder of library 2 onto itunes, I'd start by doing a few tunes to satisfy yourself that all is OK, you can probably do them in large chunks but I'd probably not drag them all at once, if something did go wrong you probably wouldn't lose any files but it might be difficult to figure out what files had been added and which hadn't before the problem occurred.

Can someone explain what Automater is to me, in simple terms?

Hi, anyone out there wanna explain what Automater is for what it does etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi Tracy
Launch Automator and select "Help Viewer Help?" from the Help Menu. One of the things you'll see listed there is:
*+Discover Automator+*
+Create time-saving automations without programming a single line of code.+
I'm currently on a mac running 10.4 but I can't see it being that different for 10.5? If you click on the link you get this explanation:
+Automator is an innovative personal automation assistant that makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks. Automator lets you skip the complex programming and scripting that is normally required to create automations. Individual steps called actions can be assembled into a complete task by dragging actions into an Automator workflow. You can run your completed workflows repeatedly, and even share them with others.+
If you scroll down that help page there are more explanations and examples. Is that simple enough for you?

Can someone explain what "gfx-surface-win32" is in about:memory?

I have an extension that causes "gfx-surface-win32" in about:memory to use excessive amounts of memory. I have tried to contact the developer of the extension without any success. I was going to try and see if I could fix it but I can figure out what "gfx-surface-win32" is. Can some please explain what this is?

It's a graphics memory usage. The only solution I see is to [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?|update your graphics drivers]] because it's not recommended to change an extension you are not going to maintain.
Note that in Firefox 15 (released on August 28), leaky extensions won't leak in Firefox. See [http://blog.kylehuey.com/post/21892343371/fixing-the-memory-leak Kyle Huey's blog post].
