Choose between the configuration

Hi, I am planning to customize a hp laptop and buy.
which is a better option:
1) to have a 1tb Hybrid hard drive with 16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) or
2) to have 8gb ddr3 system memory (2 dimm) + 24gb hard drive acceleration cache for a 1tb hard drive
please suggest and give some information about both the options!!!
please tell me the better performing one and give me the technical details of the two!!!

It depends on what you want to do. If I were going to do intensive graphics work like production Phtoshop or video editing I would pick the 16 gb of RAM. The 1 TB hybrid drive will be fast enough to be useful for such work.
The regular 1 TB drive + 24 gig accelerator cache drive will be faster in booting up and opening programs and new windows. If you primarily wish to use the laptop for internet and office type work, even with multi-tasking and do not plan to do any intensive rendering such as Photoshop, etc. then I would pick this option.
The only way to make use of memory over 8 gigs is in doing processor and memory intensive production work. 8 gb is more than enough for any other type of computing. The 24 gig accelerator drive is a microSSD device that looks a bit like a wifi card. Using Intel Rapid Start technology, the mSSD drive binds with the main drive in a RAID array and the software automatically caches bootup files and fruquently accessed files for quick access. The effect is similar to having a solid state drive as the main drive. Almost, not quite as fast as an SSD but still way faster than a mechanical hard drive, even a hybrid mechanical hard drive.
Neither choice will significantly affect gaming performance, which is largely driven by the GPU, and not RAM or hard drive access and both options have the same GPU. 8 gigs of RAM is plenty for gaming. Gaming would be about the same on either setup in other words.

I bought a new Panasonic camcorder to edit in iMovie 10.0.3. I need to choose between the AVCHD choices and the ALL MP4/iframe choices. I don't have a clue as to which to use. I just want to burn video to DVD to have and share. Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Helping me choose between the 13" and 15" refurb mbook pros...

hey...i've made the decision...i'm buying a refurb macbook pro from the apple store. after a few failed attempts to get one cheaper...i decided to just pay the extra money and know what i'm getting (and who i'm getting it from). i'm looking at the 13.3" 2.53 and the 15.4" 2.4 (both 1299).
all along, i've been looking at 15.4 screens...but with the sd card, longer battery, faster processor and more RAM on the 13.3 refurb, i'm torn on whether or not i'd rather have those extras or the bigger screen.
here are a few other questions i'd like to hear your thoughts on...
1. what is the battery life like with the 15.4 refurb? as i understand it, the 13.3 has the newer battery...but the 15.4 doesnt. how much better is the new one?
2. i'll mostly use it for work stuff and for my home recording studio.
3. do any apple stores carry refurb products or do i have to order them online?
4. anyone done the credit card sign up to get 12 mos free financing?
5. if i ordered before noon tomorrow, any idea when i'd get it in Indianapolis?
6. is there a drastic keyboard size difference? i've never owned a 13.3...is the keyboard going to drive me nuts? i will test drive one tomorrow, just want to hear from your experience.
7. any chance they'll have any newer model 15.4" mbpro's refurbed on there soon?

One thing to add... the 15" MBP will give you the dedicated GPU of the 9600M GT, in addition to the 9400M. Whereas the 13" MBP will only give you the 9400M, based on your needs that could be a deal breaker. Especially if you're into 3D animation, or enjoy some gaming.
1.) The better life on my 13" has been fantastic, I routinely get 5+ hours off a full charge with normal usage and have (on a few occasions) gotten well over 6 hours. On my 15" I'd get 3.5 hours under the same performance, running the 9400M. I never carried an extra battery with me, as I was never mobile for that long (away from access to power).
2.) Day-to-day usage, I don't think you'll see a huge performance difference between the two machines. Definitely the screen size boost might be important to you. I personally have my 13" & 15" hooked up to an external monitor when I'm at my desk so the screen size was never a huge deal for me.
3.) Apple Stores have EOL products (End of Life) right after a refresh of a product, but it's usually a limited time basis and a first come, first served basis. As far as refurbished machines, yes they're only available via the online store. The EOL products typically carry a 20-25% discount off their MSRP. So for example, when the MacBook Pro was refreshed at WWDC, for about a week after that my local retail store carried the "old" model at for $1499 (when it was $1999). The unit was still brand new, in sealed packaging.
4.) I did the Juniper card for a purchase about two years ago. It took them about 48 hours to approve me and it was for less than I felt my credit deserved. Not to mention their APR was through the roof (23.99%) and I didn't qualify for the 12-month incentive. Odd considering I'm a home owner and an AMEX gold card member for 10+ years now. There are better financing options out there.
5.) All of the refurbished computers I've purchased through Apple ship it about 2-3 days (regardless of whether it says 24 hours or not). It's never been an instant ship, like a new machine has been for me. With ground shipping, the machine will most likely come from Elk Grove, CA so I'd anticipate an additional 2-3 days in shipping.

Difference between the configuration steps and settings in BW

Hi Guru's,
can somebody tell me is there any difference between configuration steps and settings in BW. Please help me.
Thanks,
Sneha

If you want to give the chance to the user to enter their own values for the Cost Element, include a variable in the Filter Section. Then in the Default Value section, include Cost Center, right click, restrict and add the list of default values in there.
Keep in mind those values will be used ONLY if the user does not specify any value for the variable (if it is optional, of course)
If not, you have two options:
1 - Include Cost Element in the Filter section, right click, restrict and specify the list of values you want to restrict by.
This would be a "hard" global filter. The user won't be able to change those values when, for example, he/she right clicks on Cost Center and then "Select Filter Value". Those would be the only available values in there.
2 - Include the list of Cost Centers in your Default Values section
The query will run only for those values and the user would be able to change them by right-click, "Select Filter Value". It's like a "soft" global filter.
If I remember right, when you use the Default Values they don't show right next to the Characteristic in the Free Characteristic section. You can confirm that with a quick test...

Choosing between the diferent wifi solutions

Hello!
In a couple of months i'll be living in my own home, with a new internet configuration. I'll have a cable-modem and a wifi router. Nowadays, althought my laptop have wifi, is always off, as the router is only "wired". As i have no experience with wifi, i'll like ask you for advice.
The 30% of times, i'll be connected to the router with wire. The 65% of times, via wifi, with the normal security configuration to my router. The last 5%, will be wifi connections on open spots out of my home.
So, this is how i'd like to act:
If i'm with wire, the wifi switch will be off. This is the actual situation. No problem. At home, without wire, with wifi on, the laptop would connect automatically without any promps to my "secure home wifi network". Out of home, i'd have a list of wifi spots, select the one i want, and connect. Back at home, as my wifi is back, would connect automatically without any promps, and "forget" the networks i connected to.
With the previous information, which would be the best solution?
I don't mind having to config all what i want via console, but chosing the wifi out of home should be made with a grafical app. By now, gnome, kde... it's the same.
Thanks!

AFAIK networkmanager remember the networks you connected to and connect to them automatically when they are available.
I think that's cool, I tried it, but its frontend brings in a lot of kde or gnome dependencies, so I installed wicd instead (which the wiki stated was quite dependency free)
edit: it looks like the wiki discourages using networkmanager and suggest using network_profiles

While listening to music in my car, I don't have the option to choose between bluetooth and headphones anymore. Why?

On IOS 6 and earlyer, I use to be able to choose between the bluetooth or the headphone jack. Now, I can only play music true my bluetooth and I can't pause the music. Anybody has a solution?

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5 in Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"?

I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5" I'm just used to that size. Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"? I probably won't be doing any graphics or anything like that.

It is really a matter of your personal preference. You have to choose between the extra carrying convenience of the smaller machine and the greater "real estate" of the bigger. I use a 15", and have not found it inconvenient for carrying, even on aircraft, where it has to share backpack space with an SLR camera and assorted lenses.

How to choose between different audio output in different programs

I want to choose between the audio outputs in different programs.
For example; I want to hear spotify/iTunes with my plugged-in speakers and skype with the build-in/intern speakers.
It is possiple to control this on Windows but can I do it on Mac?
Does anyone know an app for this problem?
Thanks for help!

I'd assume you'd want to set the sequence to "slur" notes and then just calculate the notes between a top & bottom value based on a float and generate NOTE_ON messages appropriately.
The pitch bend is designed to emulate / support the bend wheel found on sound keyboards...and it just modifies the pitch associated with a given note. A pitch bend of +2 would turn an A into B, etc...
So, you'd want to do...
SET_SLUR (however you do that, I'm not a MIDI expert)
pitch = bottom_pitch + ((top_pitch-bottom_pitch) * sliderValue);
NOTE_ON(pitch)

I am going to buy a macbook pro 15" but i can't choose between glossy or anti-glare

i am going to buy a macbook pro 15" with the 8gb ram and all that jazz but i can't choose between the glossy or anti glare they both will apply to my daily use but i cannot decide. is it possible to pick lets ay the glossy one then if i dont like it switch to the anti-glare or not ?

You can replace the screen later on, but at a cost.
Best bet would be to go to an apple shop and have a look at the 2 side by side and decide for yourself; if there was 1 that was better than the other, apple wouldn't give you the choice.
p.s. on a personal note I like the glossy one better. nicer picture IMO

Switching between the two video processors

I recieved my MBP 17" yesterday and am overall quite impressed. The battery is holding up quite nicely, although I think you have to have so much turned off and the screen brightness turned low to get 7 or 8 hours of battery life it might be pushing the reality a bit.
I do have a question though. I can not see a way to choose between the two video processors. The only one area is the performance level in the battery section, but really do not see a clear way to choose. Any suggestions?

Hi Captain_Steve
In order to switch to the two video processors you will need to change the setting in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. and after that you must log off and log on again.
If you do not log off and log on again, the change in the graphics processors will not be done

Andrew

Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties.

We have a web role where we have hosted a WCF service.
We are facing the below exception intermittently on consuming the service.
Security processor was unable to find a security header in the message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties. This
can occur if the service is configured for security and the client is not using security.
This is intermittent. Few calls fail , and the subsequent calls succeed without making any changes.
Please help in overcoming this abnormal behavior.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi Eswar,
As the error message mentioned, it may be a mismatch between the configuration on the client and the server.Try putting all your configuration in a binding configuration and then use the same binding configuration on the server and client. Since this issue
is more related with WCF, I suggest you move to WCF forum, it is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Need your help choosing between 2 audio/midi interface for logic

Hi, new member here. I just signed-up just to ask for your recommendations.
I am looking to buy either the Cakewalk UA-4fx (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/UA4FX) or Tascam US-122mkII (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/US122mk2).
Do you have any advice on which one to get (or a third alternative if you know something that's similar but better)?
I'm mainly looking to record from my Roland Fantom X keyboard to my Macbook (using Logic Pro). The effects/filters on the Cakewalk device is not that important to me (since I can use software effects), but the quality of sound is the most important. Also, ease-of-use and compatibility with Logic Pro is important. The device also must include MIDI-in/MIDI-out in addition to 1/4 inch direct line in for my synth. (I plan on using Midi-In/Midi-out with MainStage in Logic Studio). Not looking to spend too much more than $100.
I think I read in a review that even though the Cakewalk UA-4fx has 2 inputs, it can only record 1 at a time. Is the same true of the Tascam or can it record 2 simultaneous tracks?
But in short, sound quality AND compatibility with Logic Pro and MainStage are the main concerns. Does anyone have advice on choosing between the 2 or a third option if you know of one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello -
It's been suggested to avoid, if possible, USB-based audio devices. My humble suggestion? I'd consider MOTU products. I own three MOTU audio devices (2408-MK3, 828-MK3 & 828-MK2) and all work just fine. The 828-MK3 has both midi and audio inputs & outputs (including ADAT inputs/outputs).
Other people will, no doubt, suggest audio devices from other companies. All probably get the job done well. But if you're thinking about recording a lot of instruments at the same time, it is my understanding that it is best to avoid USB-based devices.
Good luck with your search and your decision.

How to get rid of the attention to choose between my wifi network or the apple tv? That appears in the screen saver

When the screen saver is on appears an message where ask me to choose between my wi fi network or my Apple Tv in order to get the signal from my PC. There is something I must do to set up the Airplay, if so, what I have to do and where?

If you are talking about the header bar of the Message Pane the only way to get rid of it completely is to close the message pane by pressing F8.
There is a add on called Compact Header that will let you make it smaller.

Okay so i have been trying to contact apple for days now but i was just thinking why do we have to only choose between white or black for the digitizer? would i be able to send my ipod into apple to get it customized to a different color besides that?

Apple does not offer custom colors. I'd suggest you get a skin for your iPod. Those are available in hundreds of colors and patterns and since they're not permanent, they don't affect the iPod's warranty and you can change if you ever get tired of the skin you chose.
Regards.
