Checking My Processor - stupid question?

Hi there,
Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I've got an MBP Core 2 Duo 2.33 15.4" with 4Gb RAM.
I'm confused over something. When I look at Istat Pro in the Temp section I'm only getting a listing for CPU-A. As the processor is a dual core, should I be getting a CPU-B? If so how can I do a test to see if something is wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) and see the CPU tab - are there two graphs of processor activity? Each corresponds with a single core. Also, it is possible that the program just doesn't read the temperature sensor for the other CPU, or there simply isn't one present.

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!

HT204053 Stupid question, but how do I get to/access my iCloud?!

Stupid question, but how do I get to/access my iCloud? All this time, I've been under the impression that every time I plug in & lock my screen, things on my phone are backed up in my cloud, but I've never been able to find it to check! And, yes, I'm blonde! Please help me!

You can't see the backup, all you can do is confirm that it was successfully completed. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and look at the very bottom under Back Up Now. It will show the time/date of your most recent backup. If you see this, you do have a backup in iCloud and can restore it to your device in the future if you ever need to. (You also can't see any of the files in a backup, you can only restore it to your device.)

What is workflow minimum? (stupid questions from rookie)

Guys,
we are evaluating Oracle workflow. If you could help us to answer some of the stupid questions we have - it would help us a lot.
1. There are two parts of Workflow installation - DB and midtier. Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier? Our understanding - midtier is used for providing web access for the users to the workflow engine: they can approve/reject, check workflow status etc. But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email only or by building some simple user interface in our existing webtier (which is not based on Oracle webserver, though is using Oracle for the DB layer)
2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully - though it looks like this schema has all possible privs set. If we are trying to call wf_engine.LaunchProcess - we are getting privs error. If we call it from the workflow schema - everything is working fine. Does anybody have any successful experience in doing this?
Thanks a lot everybody for help!

Hi,
I do not consider myself an expert at Workflow, but I will attempt to answer your questions (which are not stupid questions by any means)...
I will answer question 1 in two parts as it is essentially two questions.
1. "Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier"
Workflow is a module inside the Database that is an optional installation.
No middle-tier needs to be installed as such.
The middle-tier I believe you are referring to is the Workflow Monitor, this is viewed by configuring either the:
- Database HTTP server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
or
- Application Server HTTP Server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
Configuring the Workflow Monitor for the Administrators is a very good idea.
Normal users do not normally need to view this page, but read-only acess can be setup (ie. the users connect as a user without the ADMIN role)
1. "But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email"
Using Workflow Notifications, emails can be sent to users where they can approve/reject.
2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully
I am not sure why you are not successful here... have you granted execute on wf_engine.LaunchProcess to the other schema?
Cheers,
Degan.

Stupid Question :) I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?

Stupid Question I took some video on my iphone but I did not flip the phone horizontally - have I screwed up the sizing and it will never import into imovie to edit it?

You can do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21859
Also, MPEG Streamclip can rotate video while maintaining the aspect ratio as well as the interlacing when converting to DV, which is what iMovie prefers as an input:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
There is also a plug-in for iMovie from GeeThree called rotate/scale that might do the job:

HT4437 I hate to ask a stupid question.....

My apple TV states I can use Air Play from an Apple phone/ipad/computer. However, I do not own any other apple device. Can I use Apple Air Play with a PC Based Laptop provided that it has all other necessary components installed and updated?

That's not a stupid question at all! The answer is, yes. There are a few applications which can do this but I would personally recommend a favorite of mine called AirParrot. I checked your profile but it seems you do not have your devices entered. I assume you have an Apple TV 2, otherwise AirParrot will not work.
Go ahead and give AirParrot a try, there is a free version for you to test on and if it works you will have to buy the $10.00 full version. It does come with a decent price tag, but it is around the same price it would cost you to get a HDMI to plug into your screen anyway. Plus, it's wireless!

Stupid question on uninstalling

K, I know this is probably a really stupid question, but how do you uninstall applications/programs on the MacBook running OSX? I have been a PC user my whole life and FINALLY made the jump (so glad I did). But I am unsure on how to uninstall things (i.e. poker games, chat programs etc). Do you just drag the icon to the trash and delete? Any help on this would greatly be appreciated!

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper 1.6
Yank 1.31
SuperPop 1.0b2
Uninstaller 1.99
Spring Cleaning 8.0

Stupid question - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

Hello,
I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on?

Thanks!

Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
Thanks!

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc. Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on. Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa. So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match. I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere. I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now? Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's? If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library? can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on? I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago. I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
Good luck,
Hunt

Probably a stupid question

just got a macbook pro and want to be able to use the webcam to chat with my hubby on his PC when he is out of town on business. he does NOT have a webcam so we need to know what kind he can get that will allow us to talk and see each other. i know this is probably a stupid question but we are new at this.....

Welcome to Apple Discussions, bevs
Any PC webcam that is compatible with your hubby's PC system, (Windows?) OS, and chat software will work. Best suggestions will come from the "Help" pages for his chat applications software.
For you to be able to video chat with your hubby, it is important that you choose applications software that offers "cross-platform" (Mac to PC) video chat capability. There are several choices available, but Skype probably currently offers the best balance between ease of use and reliability in free cross-platform video apps.
Whichever apps (and camera) you and hubby choose, everything must be compatible with your respective computers and operating systems. I mention this because your posted system info shows macbookpro Mac OS X (10.0.x). Mac OS X (10.0.x) is now five major upgrades old. No MacBook Pros shipped with Mac OS X (10.0.x), so I expect that your system info just needs to be updated. However, if I am wrong, you will need to upgrade your Mac OS to use Skype, because Skype's System Requirements show you must use Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or later. I do not know any video chat apps that work with Mac OS X (10.0.x).
In order to use Skype, both you and your hubby will need to download and install your respective versions of the Skype software. Skype offers free AV connections between computers (although its website seems to concentrate on its for-fee telephone connection service,) it is easy for most users to configure and set up, and it offers cross-platform audio with its video chat. (Not all video chat apps offer simultaneous audio.)
Your iSight will work with Skype, as will most PC webcams for your hubby. For more information now, or for help if you encounter problems using Skype later, Skype offers comprehensive support that includes a dedicated Skype Forum as well as technical support directly from Skype in addition to its online FAQ and Knowledge-base.
If you decide to go with Skype, your hubby can get Skype-specific suggestions for PC webcams here.
Please let us know if you need any other info before you can mark your question "Answered." We will be happy to try to offer more focused suggestions for your specific questions.

Probably a stupid question about upgrades...

I originally bought Adobe CS3 Web Premium and upgraded to CS5.5 Design Premium last year. I'm wondering if I upgrade, will my price be based on the CS3 license or the CS5.5 upgrade...?
I'm guessing it will be based on CS5.5, but I want to make sure.
-A. Ka

There are no stupid questions!
Regardless of whether you got to CS5.5 via upgrading to it or by originally licensing CS5.5 is irrelevant in terms of the upgrade price to CS6 as well as the media you use for the upgrade.
