Completely PC-less

Hello,
I just purchased an iPAD2 and am looking to see if there are resources I can use to reach my goal of becoming PC-less. I love the functionality of the iPad and would like this to become my one source for all my business needs. I specifically looking for advice on what best apps I can use for managing my files, printing, editing, etc. as well as the best practices/techniques for using an iPad. Thanks in advance for all responses!

for now you will never go completely PC-less but you can get a good way. With the release of Ios 5 though there isa rumour of "over the air" updates which will essentially make all Ios devices pc-less for updates etc. however lets answer your questions:
printing with Airprint can certaionly be done even if you dont have an air print HP printer! hunt out and download the Air print software that Apple disabled with one of its updates..install it and create a startup service...turn on the guest account or create a new account on your pc that has access to your shared local printer..and voila! you can now airprint to any given local shared printer on your pc. ive tried and tested with new canon printers as well as networked laser printers etc etc check the internet for "setup airprint on windows" should produce the results you need to do it!
failing that FREE solution there are apps out there that will print to shared printers for you, for a price....why you would pay when you can do it for free i dont know but hey ho.
as for the rest:
DropBox: wireless file sharing and storage of files for a complete wireless storage system
Camera Connection Kit: either the Apple one or a cheaper alternative; allows use of SD cards to import and export pictures from and to your ipad...great for quickly emailing people images or editing them and dropping them into a presentation. i know ipad 2 has a cam but to be fair its awful for decent photos; so carrying a "point an click" and importing will get you better results
Wacom Bamboo Paper app: was FREE; great note taking app that works like a whiteboard. good for quick notes and ideas taking etc etc
Safe Note FREE: password protected note system. Similar to NOTES but allows for password protection so you can have a bit more security to any notes you might have written.
Photoshop Express; easy solution for editing any photos
Ios Office (Pages etc): they are the ones that work best with Ipad and they are efficient and well designed. You pay the price but you get what you pay for.
as for best practices:
back up and sync once a month.
always go into your "Task bar" and close any apps your not using.
once a month do a full "reset" ie hold down power and home button til the apple logo appears. Its not a "must do" practice but i find it helps keep things smooth etc etc
get a decent case! both front and back protection. I use a TUff-Luv case and its superb. The smart case is nice but to be fair it has no protection for the rear of your ipad 2.
get a screen protector: for the cost of a few quid they are a great thing to have.
keep the cleaning cloth that came with your ipad! its one of the best clothes you can get for getting rid of grubby fingerprints and coupled with a screen protector you wont need anything else
if you have an Iphone as well then just carry one charger. The ipad one will charge BOTH devices as will the Iphone one, BUT the iphone charger will take longer to charge your ipad!
create a new email for your ipad mail! its keeps your mailbox from being filled with spam and crap you simply dont need!
dont forget you can read PDF's directly in iBooks. download them from the internet and when they open you have the choice to "open in ibooks"; once you do this they are stored locally on your ipad.
buy a third party software to replace iTunes. Xilisoft do a good one as do other companies. Itunes can and will cause odd file behaviour occasionally and sometimes you want an ipad back up without the hassle of losing data or syncing different things you simply cant do with itunes.
dont forget Windows (vista and 7) will see an ipad as a media device and allow you to directly access the photos and video storage! you DONT need to use itunes to access your photos!
thats about all from me...you will get different answers from different people of course!

Just tried installing an update to OS. Although the screen tells me that the installation will be completed in less than one minute, that was two hours ago, and the computer won't permit me to shut it down via the power button, as I get an error sound.

Just tried installing an update to OSX Snow Leopard. Prior to trying to update OS, I was running V 10.6.3. During installation, it locked up. Although the screen tells me that the installation will be completed in less than one minute, that was two hours ago, and the computer won't permit me to shut it down via the power button, as I get an error sound. What do I do now? Help!

Hold the power key till it shuts down, it may take a little while, try holding it thru the warning.
Then if it shuts down restart and open Safari/Preferences, General tab, and set "Save Downloaded Files to:"
Select desktop, if desktop is not available in the the drop down menu, click other, then select Desktop from the column from the on the left.
Then download this:

This will download the "stand alone installer"
Click on the installer pkg and follow the prompts.

Ms Project 2013 report for resource name, tasks less than 100% complete within a date range I can set each time

I have seen I can create a report for a resource name with a specified date range, and one that can show me for a resource name any incomplete tasks, but I want to do the following and cant work out how to state it in the report constructor:
resource name equals - {I want to set a given resource in here}
% complete is less than 100%
start - date range is between [today -7 days] and [today +7 days]
Please can someone show me how this is possible, I know it will be and it is me that has been defeated!!

workspacedesign,
Oops, my bad. I missed the point that the Name field for assignment rows will be the task name and that's not what you want. There is also a glitch in the date range filter. So, here's how to fix that.
First, in the Resource Usage view, copy the Name field to Text1. Now select the resource line and do a fill down for all assignments under that resource. Do that for each resource. This could be automated with VBA, but for now, a manual setup should work
fine.
Second, instead of testing for the Name field in the filter, test for the Text1 field.
Third, change the Finish test to be "less than or equal to".
Now when you apply that filter, enter beginning date of your range and then the ending date of your range followed by the resource name. You should get the data you want.
Unfortunately formulas in custom fields are not as flexible in Project as they are in Excel. For example, in Project a formula can only operate on data for that row. Further, even if you use the formula Today() +7 for your filter criteria, the first time
the filter is used, Project will hard code today's date into the filter. The normal way around both of these shortcomings is to use VBA.
Hope this helps.

Will ABAP be completely Replace by JAVA

Hi Friends,
Will ABAP be replaced by JAVA in future.
Or
Will SAP give more importance to ABAP or JAVA
If I set my Business Programming in ABAP, Will it sound
ever
Please help in knowing the fact

hi,
ABAP can't die because its the easiest development tool . It can be easily seen that if you see development cost ABAP development can be completed in less time as compared to Java. And SAP is not stopping ABAP but just given an option to develop in java. However it will be good for ABAP Developers to learn java.
ABAP is not a replacement for any thing and at the same time no other language is a replacement for ABAP. FYI, ABAP is no more an ABAP/4. It is widely extended with the introduction of Web Application Server starting from release WAS 620.
In Object Oriented Paradigm ABAP is the only langauge that goes very near to all the properties of OOP concepts even comparted to JAVA and C++ starting from release WAS 630. You can developed and extend web applications using ABAP. It is much much more than what we see from R/2 and R/3 3.X releases...
There is nothing to worry about it. Yes SAP is introducing J2EE platform as an alternate to make an implementation faster as in the market there are many JAVA developers compared to ABAP resources.
More than this, ABAP is the SAP proprietary language. Except R/3 kernel, every application/transaction including BASIS is written in ABAP. I don't think SAP is that foolish to replace ABAP with some thing else. Look at the development news in SAP AG official web site for more info. One might need to know Java and JSP for developing mySAP portals but starting from SAP NetWeaver (which is planned to be released officially by the next quarter this year) you can developed
heterogeneous portals using ABAP itself...
Hope the above clarifies how ABAP is moving a head in the programming era.
reward if helpful.

keerthi.

IPod Photo completely dead.

I've had this iPod for a couple of years. It now won't turn on - at all - no matter what i do, charge, attempt reset etc. This is how this developed:
Got into car. Had left iPod in glove compartment on a hot day (this could be what i did wrong). Anyway, selected a playlist and the iPod froze on play. I couldn't use the thing after this; it just froze.
Left it. Went back to it a couple of hours later. The iPod had now gone back to the playlist setting. I selected a new song. It froze again.
I left the iPod for another couple of hours. It started to work, but 1 song in it froze. 5 minutes later it randomly skipped to mid way through the 7th track. I tried moving it back to track 3 but it froze again when it reached there. 5 minutes later it kicked in during track 7 again, even though i hadn't touched the iPod.
I tried to play it before i went to bed. It froze. I left it to run down, thinking this may help restore it. This morning i switched it on, the apple logo came up then the low battery sign. But i try to charge it via docking station or computer and it now won't turn on. At all.
It is now completely life less. Any ideas?

Apple will not replace older products with newer ones when they are sent in
That's not entirely true.
If the damaged iPod is covered under warranty, Apple will replace the iPod with a current model (in this case a 60GB 5th Gen) if they choose not to repair the damaged iPod, and they do not have a refurbished one to provide to the customer.
It all depends on the circumstances of the case.
From the warranty:
If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Apple within the Warranty Period, at its option, Apple will (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product.

Installing 10.9, stuck on "COMPLETING INSTALLATION" .

Installing 10.9, it's been at "COMPLETING INSTALLATION" "less than a minute remaining..." for over 30 minutes. What do I do?

I am there though not stuck. Went from 7 to 5 to 4 minutes. We will see. Seems odd it isn't complete after the 1 minute remaining goes to zero, and it boots through the Apple logo only to go to completing installation. And I don't have anything odd installed. Now at 3 minutes and counting. I feel like Arthur Dent's girlfriend in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 2:23 million and counting! Now 2 minutes.

Audio problem; buzzing noise (HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4011nr)

Hi, I recently bought an HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4011nr Ultrabook. I'm getting this annoying buzzing noise while listening to music or streaming movies. The store change my laptop for another one and after a few minutes listening I got the same behaviour on the new (same model) laptop. Is this a model problem? Is there anyone with the same problem?

Solution found for me. First, a little background. I have a HP Spectre XT Touchsmart 15-4010NR and also have the same annoying buzzing noise. Usually lasts less than a second and is intermittent. Counted it 13 times in four minutes of a YouTube audio file. Time between the buzzes varies significantly ranging from a second or two to over a minute. Once during the four minutes the audio cut out completely for less than a second. My solution, I unplugged the AC adapter. No more problem whatsoever as long as I'm on the battery. Tried this multiple times, plugging the AC back in for a few minutes, then the same on battery. The result, the buzzing occurs only when the AC is plugged in, and does not occur at all when on battery power. The AC power adapter provides power and charges the battery normally. Not sure what to conclude from this. I suppose the AC power adapter or cord could have an issue. Not going to go out and buy another one to test whether this is the case. It's an inconvenience, but I'll just unplug the AC power when listening to audio. If I listened to long recordings or movies this could become a real issue. I'd be curious to know if it's a hardware problem, or something I could adjust in the settings on the computer, or something else like a grounding issue. Interested if others can confirm my findings and expand on them. out

ITunes 11.3.1(2) (on Mavericks 10.9.4) crashing on sync with iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.2)

Hi Apple Community
I recently excitedly upgraded my early 2011 MacBook Pro from OS X Lion to OS X Mavericks but have been experiencing troubles with iTunes since.
When I connect my iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1.2) it opens up in iTunes as normal, but when I hit 'Sync' in the music or podcasts tab, iTunes instantly crashes. Somehow, between the crashing, although iTunes has refused to do a positive or 'additive' sync (if we think of it as adding new content), it has managed to 'negatively' sync in that it has removed all the audio content that was on my iPhone.
So now I am completely music-less and podcast-less, and my commute *****!
I don't have the technical knowledge to make sense of the crash reports, but what I do know is this:
- The Crash Thread number is variable i.e. is different each time
- The Exception Type is always EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
- The Exception Codes are always: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000
- The Crash Threads itself is actually identical each time, as is the accompanying error code (although I don't actually know what they mean...):

- When this didn't work, I backed up my iPhone, wiped it, and restored it
- This didn't work either, so I kept searching and I read elsewhere in the Apple Forum to go into the Library and delete the iTunes preference files: I trashed com.apple.iTunes.secure.plist and com.apple.airport.opproam.plist (because I thought this might be connected to com.apple.AirTrafficHost, which appears in the crash threads)
BUT ALAS! To no avail.
Can anyone help?
I would have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes too, but can't figure out how to do this as it's integral to Mavericks and I'm not advanced enough to know how to bypass the protection on it.
Am I going to have to resort to wiping my Mac and reinstalling Mavericks? I'm not vehemently opposed to doing this, but just perplexed and frustrated at having so much difficulty with the newest Mac OS, the newest version of iTunes and the newest iOS.... (or at least, the newest available to the general UK public). Besides, I just did this whole process to go from Lion to Mavericks and it's a total faff.
Out of interest, does anyone know what the above code is? If a code at all? Or is it a programming language? How can I learn to interpret and manipulate it for myself?
MASSIVE THANKS to anyone who has actually read all the way through this post!
And even bigger thanks to anyone who is willing to offer their input
S

Thanks for any help that may be offered, it is much appreciated.
B

Why have you left a job half done and my company w...

I'm dreadfully sorry that I can't provide you with the Broadband phone number,
unfortunately, BT have not completed a line switch, and have left my company
without Internet access, so I can't access this information.
From memory it might be 020 *********, but that's a guess!
But the company is FT Technologies and their post code is: TW11 8PA.
And my work email is **************, but you might want to send any
correspondence to my personal one as you've broken the work one:
BT were meant to come and switch our Internet connection from one building to
another today.
They told us that it was all very simple, they would install the new line,
deactivate the old line and make the new one live, that the process was
practically instantaneous.
Two engineers turned up, they'd double booked the job. They did something to
the new line. They then tried to run away without a word. I had to get the
receptionist to stop them so I could talk to them. They told me that they had
done their part, that the rest would happen automatically, but it was nothing to
do with them, they couldn't even speak to the department that did this part of
the job.
I find it incredulous that no one seems to have overall responsibility for a
job, that one department can't speak to another to liaise, organise, check that
something has been completed to the customer's satisfaction. But rather try and
slope off as soon as possible and hope no one notices.
A recalled engineer then told me the rest of the job would all happen `in under
an hour'.
An hour and fifteen minutes later I call the Broadband help line as the switch
had not happened.
The operative apologised, said it should have happened and then went away to do
something. He spoke of the internal infrastructure within BT, I told him this
was of no importance to me as the customer, I just wanted my job finished.
I can't help feel that this internal separation has the effect of obfuscating the
facts and allow the ownership of a problem to be passed around He willy nilly.
He kept speaking in internal BT jargon. He reported back that the switch had
now occurred.
I explained I didn't understand what he was saying but the switch hadn't
happened, I knew this because I was monitoring both the new and old lines.
He tried again and informed it was now happening automatically. I enquired when
it would be complete. He waited a few seconds and told me again that the switch
had now completed.
I told him, correctly, that it hadn't!
Again, how can the operatives so blatantly tell the customer things that are
blatantly not factually correct? Luckily for me I had the technical knowledge
and equipment to check the veracity of what I was being told, many will
not be so lucky. This coupled with the jargon the operatives hide behind
further obfuscate and insulate BT from dealing with issues.
I was put on hold several more times, afterwards, each time I was told some
jargon, spun to imply things were all fine and dandy, when in fact the
opposite was the case!
After yet another delay I was told that the new line wouldn't go live until
after 20:00.
I explained that this was not acceptable and that I wanted to speak to someone
that could resolve this matter. He replied that there `wasn't anybody'.
So I asked to speak to his manager, he replied `that's who I was just talking
to', as if to say it wasn't worth it.
I insisted that I be transferred anyway, which I was.
His boss told me that rather than 20:00 it was more likely to be after 24:00
before the changes would be made.
Again I asked to be put through to someone would could help me. I was informed
that there was no one. I suggested that this was not the case, BT didn't all go
home at 6:00. I requested that she find someone. She put me on hold, an hour
later I was still on hold, at that point I had been on the phone for nearly 3
hours.
Our computer systems were in limbo. True there was Internet connectivity via
the old line, but this could switch at any point and we would loose the
connection. I could wait until there was evidence that the lines had been
switched then relocate the routing equipment. But that could be after midnight
according to the latest estimate - and to be fair all estimates so far had
proven to false and given more to acquiesce the customer rather than being based
on fact.
In the end I relocated the equipment in the vain hope that at some point BT
would actually do what they had promised several times before.
And that's where we're currently at. My company has no communications because
of an uncompleted job by BT, everyone at BT has apparently gone home, and there
is no believable idea of when things will be rectified. My bosses don't give a
**bleep** about BT, their broken promises, their internal procedures - all they know
is that I have broken things.
So I was just wondering whether you could be so kind as to answer the following
questions for me:
1, Why were we lead to believe that when the engineers left we would have a new
working internet connection?
2, Why did your engineers slope off without informing us of the situation?
3, Why, when recalled, were we told that the job would be completed in less than an
hour?
4, Why was this not true?
5, Why can't one department in BT talk to another?
6, Why does your helpdesk talk in jargon, and not technical jargon, a BT variety
that is not understandable to those outside the organisation?
7, Why do the departments hide behind the internal infrastructure that then
allows them to say, metaphorically at least, `sorry guv., nothing to do with me,
that's a different section altogether, but unfortunately neither you or I can
communicate with them directly'?
8, Why was I told that the switch happen at 8:00 when it wasn't?
9, Why did the timescale slip to 12:30?
10, Why was I left permanently on hold?
11, Why could I not be transferred to someone who could help me?
12, These changes are simple, it requires a change to a routing table, the could
be done instanteously! Why are we lead to believe, unreasonably, that they are
somehow difficult and time consuming?
13, Can I have a job with BT if mine is no longer available thanks to you guys?
Regards,
Gavin Bungay.

Why I will no longer be a customer of Creative.

/ I am the president of a web development firm who uses Skype and a Creative webcam to communicate with our clients around the world. This morning, we had to re-load our computers' OS because of some issues we were having, and when I went to look for the drivers for our web cam, there were none at all on the Creative website. It is a model that is still on sale at the Creative website and my local best buy, but there is NO information on this product in your support section. It is code # VF045.
I then called the Creative customer support folks to be informed that I would have to pay $5.00 for a CD to be SNAIL MAILED to me as they do not provide the drivers for this product on their site.
Are you kidding me? That is absolutely rediculous.
Last year we over $30,000 dollars on computer hardware and software and we expect that to go up. But I am now researching alternate webcam and audio products, because if this is the way you guys treat your clients and customer base, good ridance. Rest assured, as an influencer to my clients and staff, I will do what I can to recount this to anybody that will listen.

I am a computer technician with over 30 years experience and have bought 2 ZEN Stones. Both turned themselves into bricks shortly after the warranty period. As a knowledgable technician I researched the problem on Creative's support venues and attempted all suggested solutions before filling out the requisite support form. I provided all the necessary troubleshooting information.
The result? A very polite totally lame canned response that make it obvious my problem submission was not read. In fairness I have to comment that the response is par with most online support. It seems corporations are not interested in provideing a quality support product to their clients. Why else would they outsource to offshore countries you cannot understand for phone support and provide such lame canned responses?
They just don't care. Period. It costs less so corporate greed wins out and customers be ****ed.
If I could have found an email address for the CEO or any Corp officer I would have sent this to them.
Below is my correspondence with support. Creative Labs be ****ed!
Thank you for the standard, typical, canned reply for laymen.
Please forward this reply to your supervisor, your customer satisfaction
executi've, and your CEO, as I even more disatisfied with Creatives Labs now.
Perhaps they are able to read.
It is extremely obvious that my information was not read at all.
If it had been read you would have seen that I have already done all the
steps you suggest.
I am a computer technician with over 30 years of computer repair experience.
I have serviced personal computers since they first began to appear .
Before attempting to contact you I research the problem on your web site,
which by the way I found to be of little use and poorly done as a support
service.
I tried the suggestions for rebooting and resetting this now worthless rock.
I know about drivers, device manager and scanning for new devices. I own 4
PCs that I build myself. The device was tested on 2 of them and a DELL
laptop. It's broke. It a rock. A piece of junk.
I did not write to you with ANY expectation of getting any useable
suggestions for making this pieces of garbage work again. Neither was I
seeking an RMA, knowing full well that an RMA request would be rejected
because:
a) I cannot prove a purchase date and
b) even if I could produce a receipt for this rock , it is out of the 30 or
90 day warranty period.
What I did write to Creative Labs for was, to indicate my extreme
dissatisfaction with this worthless rock product line and Creative Labs as a
whole. Having already wasted my money on 2 models of rock and having both
of them fail completely in less than a year is more than enough bad
experience for me to express my displeasure and relate that displeasure with
Creative Labs and it's products to my friends and any one else thats willing
listen.
Furthermore your ( Creative Labs' ) lame canned response is more reason for
not ever buying a Creative product again, as it only shows that you do not
even read the information provided by your customers that are experiencing
difficulties with your poor quality products.
The Stone is a piece of junk and the support is no better.

This is the 2nd and Last creative stone I have bought. This one like the
last worked for a few months and just quit. It is no longer recognized
on a usb port and does not show up any wheere in my system. After a
reset the light will come one and that is it. Period. Nothing more until
the rese button is pushed again and then the idiot light goes out. The
Recovery and format processes do not work as this player does not get
detected by windows no matter what is done. I am SO disappointed with
Creative Labs Stone PLUS and Stone plus with speakers turning into a
real stone that I will NEVER again purchase ANY Creative Labs product
ever again. Furthermore I will relate to anyone and everyone I know that
I am extremely disatisfied with Creative Labs.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to IOS6 and now my music will not sync correctly. I have reset to factory settings twice, and the system works but my music will not sync

Like i said above, my music will no longer sync. I can open the ipod, get on safari and what not, but when i attempt to sync, it says it is complete after less than a minute, and the music is not on it. I tried the manual artist upload and it is still unsuccessful

Yeah, my itunes hasnt changed.

Still Have v. 10.4.11 but am configuring a new MBP and I need some advice..

hey-
I am replacing my 3 year-old MBP which never made it to the Leopard stage, because I was chicken. This one is going to be cleaned up and given to a family next door from a real poor area of Mexico and until they saw this had never seen a notebook. So I am excited about this.
anyway, I am configuring a new MBP together and I have a few questions that are probably pretty basic, but still questions. I should have thought of this before, but is getting a new MBP with Snow Leopard installed on the machine (and I was old by the support guy who helped me with the configuration since it will be used for a graduate school of architecture, planing, and preservation program too.
any feeling on jumping from 10.4.11 (which I guess is Tiger OS X) to Snow Leopard and totally bypassing Leopard? It sounds like Snow Leopard is pretty much a major "update" to Leopard, but that is probably wrong. (Just a side questions, what does the Operating System OS X mean and do all of the operating system have OS X or did it start at OS 1 and will keep going up?)
Is there a time when a person who wants to try and focus on school or other important things can pretty much be sure that a new OS has had sufficient time for the major bugs to be worked out and most likely can feel safer about making the purchase than if they had not waited and did not really care-thinking that Apple would get them fixed and the updates would fix the problems? I do not tend to think this way, but in this situation I am going out a bit from my usual "way" and living or should I saying hoping that this has happened and is true? Does that make sense? So, any feeling if SL has been out long enough now that Apple has had a chance to make sure it is doing well and has pretty much been integrated into the hardware and properly functioning of the notebook as a "single unit?"
thanks in advance for any feedback and I apologize if the wording was incorrect or I did not explain myself clear enough.

You should not find it hard to jump from using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) directly to using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6). Some things are a little different, including a few changes to system preferences & how the Finder handles changing views from one folder to the next, but it is fundamentally the same from a user interface standpoint. In fact, there are very few interface differences you would notice between using Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) & Snow Leopard.
What you will most likely notice the most when going from a 3 year old MBP to a new one is that its response is substantially quicker: startup is quicker, apps open faster, Finder tasks complete in less time, etc. This is due both to the more powerful CPU & other components in the new machine & to the new OS, which is more efficient than previous ones.
"Mac OS" is the generic name for Apple's proprietary operating system that runs Macintosh computers. There were versions 1 through 9 of this operating system, starting with the one developed by Apple for the first Mac that appeared in 1984, but the first version to get the "Mac OS" designator was Mac OS 8, released in 1997. It was followed by Mac OS 9, released in 1999. All of these versions can be considered decedents of the first one, with strong family resemblances both in their internal structures & graphic user interfaces. Mac OS X is much different internally, incorporating many components of the venerable UNIX operating system first developed in 1969 at AT&T's Bell lab, plus a graphic user interface update (named "Aqua") more suited to its greatly improved capabilities. It is not a "pure" UNIX variant but instead a synthesis of UNIX & Apple's old & current technologies.
Each major revision of Mac OS X has had a cat name & a "point number" like Cheetah for 10.0 or Tiger for 10.4. Each revision has brought new features to the OS as well as under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, these improvements come at a cost in terms of legacy support. Some applications require revisions to work with each new major version, as do some of the drivers for external hardware. Generally speaking, fairly current apps & hardware drivers have gotten or will get revised for Snow Leopard if needed, but there are no guarantees that all ever will.
There are also bugs in every major OS release from every OS maker. Generally, these are obscure, affect few users significantly, & are eliminated in updates released after the first major version, but even the updates can introduce new bugs. Snow Leopard appears to be more bug free than any prior Mac OS major release, but the possibility exists that some bug will affect you in some critical way.
That said, the chances of this are low, & you should not read too much into reports here of problems unless they are widespread & describe very closely the same problem. Keep in mind that there are already several million copies of Snow Leopard in use; any really widespread problems would result in tens of thousands of complaints & probably make the evening news as well.

Help Please? Flash Player not working, windows 7 32 bit IE.

Hi. I cannot get the Flash player to play content in Internet Explorer 32 bit. I am extremely frustrated. My info is:
Windows 7/64 bit
All windows updates are current
Dell studio 1749 Lap top
IE 8 32 bit
IE 8 64 bit

I have spent several days reading this forum as well as other forums on the same subject and have tried many many suggestions that have been posted without results. I have checked my user account settings, mine is set to administrator. I have checked and rechecked Internet explorer internet option settings and tried them all including none ( set to not recommended lowest settings) for all the zones. I have reset internet explorer settings under the advanced tab. I have tried to install the flash player many times using both the auto install from the browser window as well as the manual download and install program from your web site many times. I have uninstalled from windows control panel and also using your manual uninstall program between each reinstall attempt.
I have restarted both my computer and internet explorer after each install and uninstall so many times I can't count. There are many other things I have tried as per some of the things I have read but so far no success. The interesting thing i find is while trying to fix this problem i downloaded the flash player code named "square" 64 bit and it works perfectly using Internet explorer 64 bit.
Internet explorere Adobe add ons are:
In IE 32 bit add ons listed are;
shockwave activeX control - enabled
get_atlcom Class - enabled
In IE 64 bit add ons listed are;
shockwave flash object - enabled
Files installed on my harddrive are;

Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.dll
Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.exe
I hope you are able to assist me in fixing this problem.
Thanks

Good Morning.
I can not get the batch file to create a log file. Anyway the general message throughout the entire batch file report is that nothing succeded. Each time it tried to create a reg key the resulting message is :
Regsetsecurity error : 5 access is denied
When trying to reset FP security permissions:
Set security privilage : access is denied
Warning :unable to SeSecurityPrivilage privilage. This privilage may be required.
Then when it tries to create file "macromed" error is
Createfile error : 1314 A required privilage is not held by the client
Anyway this gives you a general idea of what has happened running the batch file,
I am starting to think we are spending far to much time on this ,but I enjoy the challange to correct the problem.
If this is due to a corruption or some such thing in the registry I could have reformatted and reinstalled My system complete in less than a day. This is the fourth day on this.
If the User Accounts list me as the administrator and there are no other accounts how can I not have the required permissions?

Need help on performance of this sql

Hi,
I have 2million records in my table, now i need to add one new column and have to update records into this column using sequence.
Ex. update table_name
set new_column = sequ_name.nextval
where col1 = batch_id;
My question is, if i update like this for the batch_id(same id for 1.5million records), will it affect the performace. or is it any other best way to achieve this...
kindly help..
Regards,
Nag

We had a similar project and in test it took several hours to run. When I upped the sequence cache to 5000 it completed in less than a 10th of the time. Worth trialling different values for the sequence cache, as I suspect there are diminishing returns as it gets larger (setting the cache size to 1.5 million would probably not be a good idea).
