CHALLENGING sync question - which one of you Pro's is up to it?

I have my iphone set to sync with my calendar and contacts from Outlook '07 and my bookmarks from Internet Explorer. The bookmarks sync perfectly - if I add one on Iphone it puts it into IE and vice versa. Outlook is another story though. It used to sync every time, now not at all. The appropriate boxes are checked in itunes, I have tried the "reset sync history," technique. Tried deleting other 3rd party addins in Outlook, and tried reinstalling itunes. It is almost as though itunes is not looking in the right place for the sync. Is this possible? How can I find out / change where itunes looks for Outlook data? I need a real pro for this question!

After many pulled hairs and bumping around into all sorts of Fixes, I finally found the correct fix. I hope this helps somebody else.
Upon boot, I kept receiving a message that "mapi32.dll" was not found. It didn't seem to affect anything, or so I thought. Outlook worked normally - Itunes worked normally. On a whim, I decided to go to a WinXP help forum and search "mapi32.dll." A suggestion was to click start > run > type "fixmapi.exe>" You guessed it - that did the trick. Outlook and Iphone are now happily married and I can start regrowing hair!

I'm debating between a Macbook Air or a Macbook Pro which one would you suggest?

I'm debating between a Macbook Air (MC965LL/A) or a Macbook Pro (MD313LL/A) which one would you suggest?
I will be using this for college and taking it to class with me. My biggest fear is that I may be too hard on the Air and damage it, but I like that it is lighter and looks cooler. But which one do you believe is more logical and provides the best computer quality overall?

This is an objective comparison,
Meanwhile, we start from the price of their basic models, considering of course that could get discounts as a student in the Education Store. Required about 100 € more to buy an Air with the same screen size of this Pro and already, in some cases, may be enough to make your own choice.
Assuming a score to score, we could say: Pro 1 - 0 Air
Until recently, the beloved laptop for school purposes was the white MacBook.Orphaned "bianchino", now out of the list for some time now Apple, the Mac that is most on the economic front is approaching the Air 11 "(900 € on the edu store). Air 13 "display offers a native that could be called HiRes, identical resolution to that of Pro 15" base:
Air 11 "(16:9) 1366 x 768 = 1,049,088 pixels
Pro 13 "(16:10 format) 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000 pixels
Air 13 "(16:10 format) 1440 x 900 = 1,296,000 pixels
The comparison on the screens is not to be taken seriously. After all, is what we will see during every second of computer work.
And so the challenge back in a tie: Pro 1 - Air 1
For size and weight comparison is merciless. The Pro is a portable slim, well built and, after all, not too heavy. However, this aspect of the Air is unsurpassed. He created a new category of laptops is so small wonder. The weight is also almost halved with 1.3 kg against 2Kg. For those who are always on the go is a godsend for the university and also the difference in the shoulder is remarkable.
We update our score: Pro 1 - Air 2
The battery is offered in both cases with a duration of 7 hours. 2-Air Pro 3. Another aspect that is rather in favor of a tie on the graphics: Both models use the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM condivisa.Pro 3 - Air 4.
In academia, it may not feel quite the need for a Firewire port, but the fact remains that the Air does not have it.
I guess that's the case to score another point: Pro 4 - 5 Air
I scored a little more than necessary to have a complete line of Air, but for the purposes of this comparison we are interested in the value obtained from the Pro 13 'Air base and 13 "base. Both processors are dual core and, as you can see, the little guy gets along very well though with a slower clock. There is also a crucial aspect to consider: these data refer to the computing power but do not take into account the incredible speed-bump-up by SSD. Translated into monetary terms means that if the Pro 13 "is marginally faster when the CPU is under stress (such as video encoding) Air 13" is significantly more responsive in every area. By now you will present the advantages of SSD, as we talk about it constantly, and be assured that we are talking about really obvious differences in the everyday. The advantages obtained clearly outweigh the disadvantage resulting from a delay of a few seconds more in exporting an iMovie or a few seconds to compress a full-bodied zip file (which then increased the write speed scale in part). To assign a score in this area I find then a little 'in difficulty. From the viewpoint of the CPU Pro 13 "is slightly faster but we are sure you can assign an advantage when then every single operation, to start since, requires up to 8 times (the value is clearly approximate) of the time ' Air 11 "? I have no doubt to say that overall performance on the front of the Pro 13 "basis, as configured, is beaten hands down Air 13" base.
I say then: Pro 4 - Air 6 (but wait ... is not over)
Do you know where the above discussion decade? The MacBook Pro is much more expandable: add just € 77 and takes a 60GB OCZ Agility SATA3 that mounts in an instant. At that point, the bill draws on the opposite reactivity with SSD and the difference of the processor, though not so obvious, back to bite. It is also possible to realize different combinations. We have spoken of a disk of only 60GB in effect, but in the Pro can also be used as an adapter to enter the optibay the HDD of 320GB in place of the original SuperDrive. In this way we obtain the speed of the solid disc for the operating system and applications and the increased capacity of a traditional hard drive for archiving. Also, the RAM, which base is 4GB on both, on the Pro can be easily increased to 8GB. To want to do things right we should say that the added cost rises well and lose the initial assumption for which we have assigned a point to Pro for the greater economy.Furthermore, the comparison is based, only the basic models, however, the counter remains a valuable expandability, both now and in the future: if after some time you should decide to improve the performance of your Mac, is with the Aircan only change SSD (mSATA but those are expensive), while the Pro will have more flexibility.
u point for the Pro: Pro 5 - 6 Air
With the 2011 version of the MacBook Air has resumed the backlit keyboard, but still (and will) not have an Ethernet port, Superdrive and the infrared receiver. The absence of the reader / writer is a point against him, this is indisputable
equal footing Pro 6 - Air 6. As Apple moves fast towards a future where this will no longer be necessary (see installation and operating system software via the web) can still be useful today. It must be said that with less than 30 € you take an external drive efficiently (review) but this still requires to carry around another "element". On a personal level each of us will be evaluated differently this absence, there are those who do not tolerate it and who has already got used to (in extreme cases supported by the Remote Disk feature) but it is still a lack of perspective in a single complete computer , at least at present.
For this reason we say: Pro 7 - 6 Air
pull the money (or better scores ) won the pro of a single point.
i hope it can help you ti choose

Hard drive duke out...which one would you put your life on the line for?

As far as SATA drives go only...
Seagate 320 gig Barracuda (ST3320820AS) vs. Samsung 320 gig HD320KJ vs. factory WD/Apple 250 gig drive. All about the same age (3/07) except for the Apple 250 which is about 8/06.
Which one would you choose for your main drive?
Thanks a bunch!

Everybodys milage seems to vary with Hard drives as does the current quality of certain manufactures. Personally I've been burned numerous times on Seagate drives but that could simply be my luck of the draw. What is really more important is how you use specific drives vs their reliability.
I have a RAID 5 Linux server in my rack for my major archiving. That server has been built with Raptor OS drives (Small ones, 36Gb) as all it has is FC5. The RAID array is built from much cheaper (per Gb) 500Gb WD Caviar drives. In my configuration this comes to about 1.25Tb of RAID 5 storage. I can sustain a full drive failure without losing my data. I can also lose my OS drive, buy an new one, Install Fedora 5 again, and my RAID will still be there. (I've backed up the critical files necessary to support this and I've tested it. It works.)
My MacPro is just about to be rebuilt. I got a Hitachi Ultrastar from Newegg.com
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145164
I have 4x500Gb WD drives in my Pro configured to be a RAID 1 from 2 1Tb logical volumes. I plan on using this for quick local archive of projects as yanking a 50Gb project from there is still much faster than off my RAID 5 plus my RAID 5 is quickly getting filled from my photography work so I'm using the RAID 1 for my video work. In addition to that, I have a Firewire 800 1TB external drive to run on TimeMachine and back up all my working files on my new OS drive. If I sound paranoid. I am. Just remember no matter WHO's drive you buy, it is, in the end, not a question of IF it might fail, but WHEN. You should plan your work environment expecting your drives will fail and then make sure you have enough backup that you can recover from that. One could argue there may be holes even in my backup plan. There are, but in the end, I can recover everything, baring my home burning down. (and actually I'm covered for that, all be it the latency in the backup is probably on a 2 week cycle).

VirtualBox vs VMware.. which one do you use?

Which one do you all use here?
Which one do you think is better?
Before, when I was using Ubuntu, I always used VirtualBox, I guess I liked it.... But now thinking which one to pick.
I heard in VMware you can run some games (which I can probably run in Wine, but still).

I use VMware Workstation 7.
While I love Free Software, the Free version of VirtualBox lacks USB support, which is a big loss for me.
So, it's between two pieces of proprietary software, despite one being $0.
Workstation unofficially supports OS X guests (questionable legally, use Google), seems to have better guest desktop speed, and has better SMP and video acceleration for me.
Also, VirtualBox has been more buggy in my experience, especially with tiling WMs.
The one thing VirtualBox can do that VMware can't, though, is perform low-level operations on crApple devices: http://ranguvar.wordpress.com/2009/11/2 … irtualbox/
So, I keep it around to help out my friends who buy into those sorts of things.
QEMU is nice and KISS, good for testing alternative OSes like Plan 9 and other *nixes, just suffers from horrendous disk speed.

Which one do you use?

I recently started asking myself which stability and stress program to use.
Theyre many, but i usually chose between those 3:
1.Stress prime 2004 by Johnny Lee
2.Super Pi by the japanese record breaking guys
3.the well known prime95 (which i dont like to use to test my machines).
prime 95 lacks information and details IMO but is reliable(at least thats what people say), and many people dont know how to use it at first sight(including me), asking themself what is s11t this for?
super pi does not take much time to complete the 32million task, so im not sure about its reliability.
and finally the one that i think is the best is the stress prime 2004 which i like the most, and the funcitons are there and it shows everything in details. the source is taken from prime95 but redone to give better results and details.
so c'mon you o/cers, which one do you prefer ? maybe you can suggest another good one from the rest which you find interesting and reliable!!
and pls no everest or sandra stress test suggestions.
good day

I use the following: http://www.7byte.com/index.php?page=hotcpu
Hot CPU pro is available in an evaluation version that doesn't perform all the tests but still has an accurate diagnostic and burn in mode.
I licensed for the full features and find it works fantastic. Pressing the diagnostic performs tests of the chipset, cpu, memory, hard drive and more for 6 hours and then tells me the result. Or I can run Burn in and test it much more extensively.
LOL .. we had quite a discussion a few years back about this .
Here's a post thats quite amusing : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=63480.0
I have experienced full so called "prime stable" test over 8 hours just having HotCpuTest fail as it just doesn't do prime numbers calculations or Pi calculations but some more and it's one of the best progs to get you down to earth when you thought your system was overclocked stable.
In addition back then there was some faults in prime95 build x.xx (don't remember) with certain setup with A64 page file size and amount of memory.
Was like talkin' to certain stoneheads back then .
Read the thread through and see why not only trust one cpu calculation/benchmark prog :D

Which one do you prefer for 2.1 Stereo Speak

I am planning to buy a Creative Sound card for my Streo 2. Speakers but don't know which of Creative EXTERNAL solution will sound better and blast my bass when i connect it to my notebook to streo speaker.Which one do you prefer ? Thanks.

If you have a spare PCMCIA slot, check out the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. External solutions, there is the SBLi've 24-bit External.
You might want to check out the Xmod though, it is a new product and seems to fit the bill if you're trying to improve the audio quality from your laptop.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Question which really disturbs you

Hi experts,
I have a question which is really tempting me to ask somebody. But due to its
silly nature I never ask anyone. anyway im posting it now.
I'm inserting million of rows in a table which generates enormous Redo records
which makes redo buffer to fill. At one stage( possibly 1/3'rd of redo buffer) it is transferred to redologs, i.e. even uncommited transaction also gets logged in it.
I didn't commit any transaction untill now. My transaction never ends, i continue to insert more and more million records which makes the redolog file to fill and tends to switch the logfile. My database is in archive log mode.
my question is,
1. whether the uncommited transaction is written to archived logs.
2. what will be the status of the controlfile at this point of time.
3. If i issue rollback, will i retrieve data from undo.
4. How is the transaction gets synchronized in database.
please reply me
Thanks
SM

Oracle will 'empty' the redo buffer to theredo log file:
- when it has filled to 1M
- when it is 1/2 full
- when a commit happens
- every 3 seconds
- when the DBWR is called to move out dirty blocks.
This is documented at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/process.htm#i7261
One of the benefits - we can minimize the time required to return from a commit request.
Remember that a commit request is simply a confirmation that the last remaining portion of a transaction's redo has been written to the redo log file. Once the commit has returned, we know that the redo information is safely tucked away, so other processes can use the resources we had been using.
(At the same time - we do not 'release' any resources as part of a commit. Others will come along and look whether the resources are in use, will note that we no longer need them, and will release the resources for us. So a commit can happen really fast.)
One common myth is that the tablespace's data files are important. They are nothing more than a backup (or materialized view) of the most recent contents of the database buffer cache plus any changes in the redo log file. By calling up the backup in the data files, we can avoid recreating a block from the initial format state and applying all redo. In an extreme case (called crash recovery) we actually do use a previous known image of the database blocks and apply redo.
Oracle will create an archive copy of a redo log after switching from the redo log and before reusing it. It does not matter whether a commit has happened.
During a transaction, the person making a change updates the block in place. A copy of the before image of the changed parts of the block (changed parts of the row) is placed in the UNDO or ROLLBACK area. Therefore, when a commit happens, the change is already in the block.
When a person 'A' wants to roll back, the block is rebuilt to the 'start of transaction' state. This is expensive - Oracle is built on the assumption that commits must be fast and commits happen a lot more often than rollbacks.
If person 'B' starts a a long query (say a table scan) on the same table as person 'A' is updating, but the scan gets to the block after person 'A' has updated the block, a 'consistent read' copy of the block will be created and the rollback will be applied to tyhe block. This ensures that person 'B' will always see the block the way it looked when his query started.
This consistent read process fails with an ORA-01555 "snapshot too old" error, if:
- person 'A' has committed before person 'B' could rebuild the block, and
- there is not enough rollback space to keep person 'A's undo lying around, and
- someone else grabbed the rollback because they needed it for an update.

Which One Would You Buy?

Hello to All - My brother already has a 240GB Crucial M500 installed in one laptop, and now he wants to buy a new Crucial SSD around 250GB in size for another machine. He wanted to buy another M500, but they're no longer available, and he isn't too sure which one to choose from the current models. Given the choice, and regardless of price, would you choose the BX100, the MX100, or the MX200?

Thanks for your quick responses, and the link to the article on anandtech.com in particular. ***Edited to remove Crucial competitor***

Hi CaptainNemo,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that want to change the motherboard and the processor. The links you provided were a very nice touch but are in a foreign language. I tried to use Google translate, but it did not work well at all. If you can locate a maintenance and service manual, ( usually listed under the user guide link) it will list any supported replacement parts. Here is the HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide, please note on page 26, item 13 is a list of motherboards or system boards and item 14 is the processors.

Touppercase vs tolowercase (which one do you use?)

I was curious to know which one was more popular. I did some searching and found:
tolowercase onesearch: 1,118 google: 157,000
touppercase onesearch: 1,135 google: 45,700
So, on these forums it seems that they are roughly equally used. But out in the real world (Google) tolowercase (case-insenstive) is 3 times more popular.
My guess is that upper-case is the Internet way of yelling, so people would reduce the risk of offending someone by using lower-case. Any other ideas?

the conversion to upper case for some characters like the german sz-ligature (ß) is slightly more complicated than you'd think, so to make unsigned comparisons you should rather convert to lower case.
But searching for something on google and claiming one thing is more "popular" than another basing solely on the results seems very strange to me...

MIDI CONTROLLERS WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOSE AND WHY?

Between M-Audio 8v2 , M-Audio 02 , M-AUDIO 49E and M-Audio axiom 25. Which one of these would you choose and why?

The Axiom 25.
For the rotary encoders, pads and memory.
I'd take this over the 49 because both of the keyboards will be pitiful and your better of getting a full size board with hammer action if its about the "piano" feel. These things are great to have at hand when fiddling with synths while setting up in logic.

A Challenging Litlle Problem - Hoping One of You Tech Wizards Have A Suggestion

I've got a Linksys wireless system hooking up 3 PC's and a Mac to a WRT54G Router. All connections are wireless: the PC's are hooked up via WMP54g PCI adaptors and the Mac is hooked up via an WET54G Ethernet Bridge (connected to the Ethernet port on the Mac). Everything works great except every time I turn on Ethernet Bridge it knocks the Router offline and I have to reboot it. Once I reboot the Router, however, all the computers are again online. It really doesn't take a whole lot of time to reboot the Router, it's mostly just a pain in the butt. So, I'm hoping one of you may have a suggestion about how to fix this little bug. I spent several hours on the phone with Linksys tech support setting this system up and they told me basically to just live with it (so did Apple when I called them). I'm hoping they're wrong.
Thanks for any input you may have.

Easy option #1
Don't turn off the bridge. Simply leave it plugged in at all times and you should be fine.
Slightly less easy option #2
Try changing the channel on your router. Since the bridge is connecting wirelessly, interference is the only issue that I imagine would create a problem such as this. Changing the channel will usually resolve interference issues.
Let me know how this goes.
