DataGuard postings relocated -- not a technical question

Hello,
I have seen from last night DataGuard posts is moved from Database - datagaurd to Database - high availability.
By this changes, there would be some confusion for OP's.
Normally any OP first go to Database & then he search for "DataGuard", when he cant found then he/she try to post in "Database - General", So by this process its going to be less flow/usage further in data guard
How to Avoid miscommunication to OP?
Why these sudden changes?
Is this change really helps?
Thanks.
CKPT.

We have consolidated some of the Database-related forums into subfolders; the list was becoming much too long.
The forums URLs themselves have not changed so there really should be minimal disruption.Yes of course in database there is a big list. Correct.
But from last week there is less flow comparatively after changes been made to sub folders. Looks OP is posting into database - general, I saw some of the threads too, which are not routed to dataguard.
I have one idea, if it's wrong let me know.
I I have a question in ASM, Im not new so I know where is this folder, so I can go and post there. No issues.
Some one who new to OTN, may be he or may mo be known where that folder exist.
So, for all the questions, there would be only one template to post, but add extra popup scroll button, which consists of all the divisions. It's like example of (answered,unanswered,all) threads selection menu. So that while posting by any OP he/she has to choose one division where he/she likes to post.
If I give subject line, description, at the same time I select where I want to post by the popup option. So that it question will be routed to the relevant division. Again there would be no work for moderators to move threads from one division to another division.
Hope it clears.

Need the old announcement back not to post technical questions here

Not that it was ever very effective. But, better than nothing.
I'm beginning to see a number of posts with questions and responses that don't belong here, but in the appropriate forum (to which they haven't yet been moved.) I would like to see this forum still reserved for discussions or doesn't-fit-elsewhere feedback only.
I'm seeing one post with replies, which is almost a day old; it hasn't been moved.
I can understand wanting to help someone and not let their question langish, but I wouldn't want to see this become too common.

If they don't agree, they (you) can choose to do what they want. I'm not suggesting any limits on what people can say here; that's their right completely. But, some may, perhaps, see the correctness -- or not -- in the suggestion (not demand) I made, which, if it wasn't made, they might not even begin to consider.
My remarks were not intended to inhibit people from making any response to someone who mistakenly posts here. I believe I suggested they could refer the poster to the appropriate forum. Again, how or in what fashion, someone chooses to respond is entirely up to them.
It would have been over the top if I had been in any way scolding, but my remarks and tone were far from that.
If this forum bears any semblance to the euphemistically named "community," these kinds of disagreements are inherent in the very nature of any community and I'm ready to live with that.
If someone mistakenly posts a technical question in the wrong technical forum, I usually answer their question, anyway, if possible -- I'm not a sticker, or hardass, as some may be, when that occurs. But, I think the nature of this particular forum suggests a different approach.
Of course, the ultimate decision rests with the hosts.

I have Safari 5.1.10 and want to get the newer version. This may be a dumb question, but do I have to pay to get an upgrade, or is this just a software update. I am not very technical. Please advise!

I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, and I am using safari 5.1.10. I think I need to get a newer version of Safari if this is possible.
How do I go about doing this? Do I have to purchase a different "safari" product?
I'm obviously not very technical, and don't know how to proceed! The reason I want to change this is because
I keep getting messages saying that my web brower (isn't that what safari is?) is out of date. Please advise!

For you it requires an upgrade of OS X. Since you have 10.6.8 installed you can upgrade directly to Yosemite for free provided your hardware meets the requirements:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Now there is an issue on Apple's server that seems to keep users with 10.6.8 from downloading Yosemite. Apple is working on the problem, so be patient and keep trying

Some Technical Questions Concerning iPhoto 09.

I would like to use iPhoto to arrange, organize, tag, and otherwise un-mangle my family photos taken within the last ten years. However, I have never so much as launched an instance of iPhoto! I have a couple of technical questions that I'm hoping can be answered by a forum guru.
1.) I love the idea of iPhoto tagging and organizing my photos via places, faces, events etc. How does iPhoto store the metadata which allows it to organize as such? Is this data added to the photo files as additional EXIF data? Or is there an iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?
2.) When "importing" photo files into iPhoto, I'm assuming that additional thumbnail files are created and stored. Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default (as iTunes will do with MP3s if you are not careful?) And when you start creating smart albums et al, I'm sure something similar to iTunes Library files (.ITL, .XML etc) are also created. What are the important files and directories created in the process?
Perhaps these questions can be answered appropriately by addressing my third question...
3.) Can someone point me to a whitepaper, article, webpage or discussion of iPhoto which goes beyond the available Apple.com tutorial? I know there must be a book available, but I really don't have the time to dedicate to a full book on the subject. I'm extremely lazy and still haven't finished the copy of Ulysses I purchased ten years ago. Just need some quick and dirty explanations...

IF you're not too lazy to read the replies:
1.) I love the idea of iPhoto tagging and organizing my photos via places, faces, events etc. How does iPhoto store the metadata which allows it to organize as such? Is this data added to the photo files as additional EXIF data? Or is there an iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?
This metadata is stored in the iPhoto database. It can be written to the files on export. Prior to Export there's no need to. I have no idea what you mean by "iPhoto database file/files which needs to be maintained?"
2.) When "importing" photo files into iPhoto, I'm assuming that additional thumbnail files are created and stored.
Correct. They are what you see in the iPhoto Window in Organising mode.
Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default
Yes.
And when you start creating smart albums et al, I'm sure something similar to iTunes Library files (.ITL, .XML etc) are also created.
No there aren't. Again, this is all stored in the iPhoto Database.
What are the important files and directories created in the process?
There's only one you need back up. It's the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
At a guess this question:
Does it store additional "full" versions of the photo files by default
suggests you don't want this to happen.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced Mode where this won't happen. I strongly urge you not to, expecially as you haven't a clue about iPhoto and are very lazy.
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

This is not a forum question. This is a direct question to Adobe!

This is not a forum question. This is a direct question to Adobe!

If you have a direct question to Adobe then please contact our support team. You can find the appropriate option available for your region by going to http://www.adobe.com/ and selecting Help and Contact Us.
Alternately what country/region are you in and I would be happy to look up the support number for you. It should also be noted that if you need technical support then that department is open on Monday.

Are there any actual technical questions?

I know, I get it. I too felt a tiny bit of an ouch when they announced the cut. I wanted Apple to acknowledge that the price drop was a little unsettling to early-adopters and to thank us for taking a chance on a totally new product. Never did I imagine they would offer us monetary compensation, that's pretty unheard of for a company as large as Apple. They didn't have to do it, but they did because Apple recognized that without it's loyal base it's just another company, so bravo Apple. Of course it's a credit...Apple still has to make money. Yes, they totally expect and hope that you'll spend more than the $100. Apple is not a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, doling out cash because you feel disenfranchised.
But enough is enough. If you feel ashamed, seek therapy. If you want cash, see an ATM. If you want to blend your iPhone in protest, post it on YouTube and send me the link because I love laughing at idiots. But if all you want to do is whine, please go elsewhere. People complained, they made themselves heard, Apple responded, Job well done.
Now can we please go back to discussing technical questions like why not having GPS and MMS is a dealbreaker, and answering questions like "Why doesn't any sound come out of my right speaker" or "When can I use my iPhone in Ethiopia?" Come on, that's why we're all here folks.

AMEN

Bootcamp Technical Question...

I have read that Bootcamp places Windows in a contagious space partition. I would like to know if Mac OS X remains in its contagious space partition as well once a Bootcamp partition has been created.
Up Next is an illustrated example (don't know how much will it help my question):
Does the drive partition map look like this after you create a Bootcamp Partition?
----------(MACOSX)----------))---------(BOOTCAMP)----------
or Like this?
------(MACOSX)------))------(BOOTCAMP)-------))-------(MACOSX)-------
Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

Thank You Niel for your assistance with this technical question. Now I know that OSX will remain in a continious partition in the hard drive and Windows will remain on its own continious partition as well. I was asking this because I wanted to know if every programs, OSX Updates or files that were created in my Mac OS X partition would be put in another part of the HDD if OSX found a bootcamp partition in the way. However, I do not think this should happen since the Mac OS X Extended File System avoids fragmentation by providing a partition with continous HDD Space and it's logical that OSX will want to create the Bootcamp partition on its continous space just like it would do with a program or file, I dont believe that OSX will want a Windows partition in the middle of the OSX continious HDD partition space.
Niel, do you agree with my assesment here?

How do i sign out of hotmail on ipad 2 so another user can sign in, not really technical i know but frustrating.

You don't sign out without deleting and recreating the email account. Setup a second hotmail account. iPads are not designed as multi-user devices.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine. I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance). Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest! I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you. Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?

Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
