  • DO I NEED TO HAVE ORACLE 11G INSTALLED?

    Hi,
    I have never used Oracle before. I have a very basic doubt. I have a Peoplesoft Id and password. I wish to know if I need to have Oracle 11g installed on my laptop to be able to use Peoplesoft Code to create applications using an online database? Kindly let me know at the earliest and will be of great help.
    I greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks. :)

    You need to have app designer installed if you want to work with peopletools, which will allow you to connect 3-tier to running Oracle/Peoplesoft instance. If you want to connect 2-tier, then you'll need the 11g client installed.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

  • Do I need to backup harddrives before install lion

    Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro.  I have tons of pictures and video, and 2 harddrives, i have some on external hard drive, but not current stuff, and wanting to upgrade to Lion.  Please advise.  I am sure most are going to say back up, back up.  I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.

    >Do I need to backup hardrives before installing lion, on mac-pro. \
    That's a bit like asking, do I need to wear seatbelts? Seriously if you value your data, you need to backup your data, not just when installing Lion, but when installing anything, when making changes to your data, when renaming data.  Backing up is not an option, it is a must in the computing world.  See my backup FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    >I guess I want to know if I will lose pics, documents, mail, if I upgrade.
    You could, in fact in one thread, someone backed up with Time Machine, and still lost pics because they didn't ensure their Time Machine had in fact backed up the pictures they wanted.  A clone backup is the only backup that ensures everything is backed up.  Anything can be lost in an upgrade too.  See what I have to say about other Lion pitfalls:*

    Any reason you want the 10.6.5? You do know that the latest and final is the 10.6.8.

  • Does earlier version of elements need to be uninstalled before installing PSE13?

    does earlier version of elements need to be uninstalled before installing PSE13?

    Hello,
    don't worry, I for my part I have on my computer more of these earlierer (outdated in some cases) Adobe programs, to see the difference or for some other reasons. Try them out for a while and then decide, whether you need the both.

  • "To download X, you need to have iTunes." but I HAVE iTunes!

    I'm currently trying to download Stanza for Desktop, but whenever I click on "Open with iTunes" my browser redirects me to the download page and says
    +To download Lexcycle’s Stanza, you need to have iTunes.+
    Except I have iTunes. I've had it for ages. My iPod Touch is completely up to date, I've just installed the latest version of iTunes, but still, nothing. I've never had this problem before, usually links just open iTunes up right away, but for some reason, it won't register my iTunes and open the download.
    I'm using this link http://itunes.apple.com/app/stanza/id284956128 to attempt my download. I have a 64-bit version of Windows, so I figure that might be part of the issue. Any help would be appreciated

    Hey Ifagirlwantstodance,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues downloading/updating iTunes for Windows. The following resource may provide a solution:

  • Do all users of an Excel workbook need to have Power Query installed?

    If I create an Excel file that makes use of Power Query to fetch data, do all users that will open this file require Power Query be installed on their system?
    Shawn Keene

    Yes, they do need to have power query installed. If you fetch data using Power Query, that adds a new type of connection to the list of connections in that workbook. To refresh that connection, you need the Power Query addin to be installed and run.
    Thanks

  • I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

    I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.

    Reinstall iPhoto.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    I have tried to install mountain lion but it has failed to install

    If you open Finder and open your Applications folder list, under the alphabetically listed "I"'s you should see an application called "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app", if it downloaded OK.  This is the package that you double click on to begin installation of Mountain Lion.  Have you already done this?
