Do you still need to clear PRAM in OSX 9.3.9?

While I'm here I thought I would ask this as I am experiencing time lags and wondered if you still need to clear the PRAM as we used to in OS 9.x. I know this is not the motion thread/forum so issues I have will be addressed there. Just wondering.
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

FYI. Here's what is stored in PRAM memory when operating in OS X. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86194

Do you still need EJB when you can do it all with JSF/JSC?

I think EJBs make J2EE unnecessarily complex for 80% of small to mid or even some large scale applications. When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders), why do you still need EJBs? I have heard nightmares with EJBs deployment and how its complex to move them over from test to production servers.
Are EJBs getting obsolete and not worth learning? Afterall, in the Microsoft world, there is nothing like EJB and all they got is ASP.NET (similar to JSF) -- along with its associated data classes and .NEt framework. I am sure they also promote separating logic from presentation.
I think JSF is the best thing Java world has got to compete with Microsoft on developer productivity for small to medium size applications.

J2EE EJB's are far from being a holy grial capable of solving any situation. They are complex, difficult to learn and code, but we need to be fair and tell the whole story.
EJB's are part of the J2EE technology and offer infrastructure needed in complex applications. I.E., you mention
"When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders)"
but these are only database level transactions. The J2EE app servers can handle global (and distributed) transactions involving different operations over different databases and transactions ruled by non-database software. Just imagine the complexity of handling a "rollback" of this kind. Put that in .NET pipe and try to smoke it.
J2EE EJB Entity Beans were the black sheep of the family. They were oriented to easily handle fine operations (i.e. update a specific record of information) but on the other hand present a poor performance in operations over large sets of data. You can do some optimizations but..... Now the story is a bit different with JavaEE 5 and the Java Persistence API -inspired on Hibernate-.
The bottom line is (as you mention in your post): J2EE/JavaEE are not needed by most of small or mid sized apps. However, I would strongly encourage you to have a look at the JavaEE 5 technology. The fact that portions of the JavaEE technology do not have a counterpart in .NET does not mean that they are not worth to (at least) have a look at them.

With .img do you still need movie files?

Hey All,
I was wondering if I make a .img of my movie and dvd, can I throw away the iMovie files/project?
This is if I am completely done with the project of course. I am trying to save space on my hard drive but I don't want to lose my movies.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Verbal,
As long as you're not wanting to edit your project anymore you can delete all of the iMovie files (and the iDVD project file too). The iMovie project contains all of the raw footage and edits of course so you MUST be sure you've finished editing first.
The disk .img file is an exact replica of the DVD contents that you would burn. You can burn as many new DVD's as you need from this file. It's the same as the disk version.
I would advise you to create a DVD, watch it to make sure you're happy, make another copy so you have 2 DVD's then you can delete all of the files from your Mac including the .img (because you've now got one master disk and a backup disk).
Hope this helps.
David.

With the new OS do you still need the iprocessors to use multilple displays on AppleTV

I just downloaded the new OS and it seems they made some improvements with the multiple displays. Current I don't have the i processors so I cannot use the mirror feature with Apple TV, does this new OS still require those processors to use multiple displays with Apple TV? I have a Mac Book Pro that was purchase about a month before the new Macs were issues with the i processors.

None of the people I know have needed to use a bumper or other case with any of the iPhone 4s. The reports on the antenna problems have been rather overblown. Anyway, there's been nothing to indicate that the white iPhone 4 has any changes to the hardware other than a minor change to the proximity sensor and perhaps the camera flash.
Regards.

I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?, I have purchased an iPad do I still need to keep iTunes on my pc?

I now have an iPad and want to know do I still need to have iTunes on my pc?

Need to..? Probably not, at least not if it is running iOS 5. In principle you can set up the device with a working Wi-Fi connection to the Internet, back it up to iCloud and download future updates independently of iTunes. However you still need iTunes to transfer non-iTunes Store purchased media to the device so you may find iTunes still has its uses.
Depending on what region you are in you can download previously purchased apps, books, music and TV shows as often as you like (provided they are still available in the store) but movies and (strangely) audiobooks are still on a one time only download, so it you have any of these, or plan to, then a connection to iTunes will be the only way to backup those items.

Downloaded songs still need internet?

Hey all,
Ok I bought the works when iCloud came up. I have iTunes match, etc, etc. I have not spent much time to ensure my music and movies are all clouded correctly and I know there have been some issues for some people but so far it seems to work... HOWEVER...
On Monday and Tuesday I helped a friend drive his car from Portland Or back to Colorado. At a few places during the trip we had limited digital network on our phones. I have about 50 songs which I've pressed the little cloud button and downloaded them to my phone because I wanted them available even without a network connection.
Well I found out that some of these still would not play and the network spinner would spin almost like it was authorizing the song over the internet. But since we were in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming nothing happened. I waited at times for 2 or 3 minutes and gave up. These were songs that I KNOW I downloaded to the phone and I can see them taking up physical space in my phone.
So what gives? If you download from the cloud using the cloud and down arrow do you still need some kind of internet connection to authorize the song? The really stupid thing was that some of these were my own songs... I mean songs I created using Logic. Even some of those would not play. They've been up in the cloud for sometime and I forced them to download along with some of the commercial songs.
Any help would be appreciated.
M

Ok I'll give that a try. Is there any icon that indicates they are not complete? These songs looked perfectly normal with no cloud next to them and I have played some of them here on the home WiFi.
Thanks for you help.

With ios5 do i still need microsoft exchange

Now that i have ios5 on iphone and ipad2 do i still need microsoft exchange

Microsoft Exchange is an email server (and a few other things) and is run by your email hosting service (or work or where ever.) Having access is NOT a requirement for iPhone or iPad (on any version of iOS.) However, if your email is still being delivered to that particular email server where Exchange is running, then you still need to connect to that server with whatever device you have. Just like if you have Yahoo mail, you would still need to connect to Yahoo from whatever device you have.
If you don't mind changing your email or moving your calendar and contact from your current Exchange account, then "you do not need Microsoft Exchange."

HT4112 how does one navigate with out the use of a mouse? do we still need to use finger to move to different things?

how does one navigate the keyboard without a mouse. Do we still use finger to move from place to place?

Yes you still need to use your finger to do all of the things that you need to use it for even if you use a wireless keyboard. You are merely adding a larger more robust keyboard to the device. You are not replacing the touch gestures features with the use of an external keyboard.

Do we still need OS 9 ?

Hello!
I've got installed OS 9.2.2 together with OS 10.3.9.
I'm ready to install 10.4. Because of space nedd I will erase previous OS, data etc and intall(erase and install)
My question is: Do we still need to have OS 9 install in my TiPowerbook 500Mhz?.
Thanks
Javier

Javier,
A great laptop. Only you will now if you still need OS9. Do you still run any applications / games that require OS9 ? Even just occaisionally ?
Not having OS9 even installed rules out the possibility of running these under Classic.
OS9 will only amount to a few hundred MB, even less if it's trimmed down to run only in Classic. It's up to you to decide if those extra few MB is worth "burning your ships" over.
For less than the price of Tiger you could invest in a 80Gb or 100Gb drive for your PBG4, like I did, and many, many others. It's your money so I'm not going to say you must buy one, but if space problems are becoming an issue on the original 20gb you'll have to upgrade soon anyway.
Doing it now would give you the perfect backout plan if Tiger doesn't do it for you (it will, don't worry), put the new drive in, install Tiger fresh on that (not forgetting to install OS9 drivers when formatting, if you think you may need it).
I hardly ever go into OS9 in my PBG4 any more, but I still wouldn't remove it, I know I have too much older software that I might want to run again (and sometimes do).

I've just downloaded FF 4 beta, do i still need to purchase internet security software & anti-virus software for protection?

I have not renewed my McAfee. i am not sure whether FF 4 beta security protection is good enough. I do internet banking often. do i still need to have other security or anti-virus software?

Firefox is just a web browser, you still need anti-virus, anti-malware and firewall protection.

Just ordered new iMac do I still need a modem/router for Internet access

Just converted to apple,ordered a new IMAC but little confused on Internet access.
does the extreme still need a modem/router,just a little confused after reading all the comments about poor connections etc.
Old windows soldier sorry if a little vague .

The AirPort Extreme is a router, but it is not a modem. You still need your existing cable or DSL modem. That device is usually supplied by your ISP and may or may not include the functions of a router.

I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software and was thinking of using Parallels Desktop 9 to help with this. Do you still have to partition your drive with Parallels and does this leave you open to viruses?

I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software not available for Mac and was thinking of obtaining Parrallels Desktop 9 to help with this. If I use Parrallels do you still have to partitian your drive and does this leave you open to viruses?

You do not have to partition your drive - Parallels creates a disk image which contains your Windows installation. You do have to exercise anti-virus measures in the Windows partition, although such malware cannot affect the Mac filesystem.

HT1212 I got the message copied below in iTunes but I still need to keep my pics and videos. "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."

I got the message copied below in iTunes but I still need to keep my pics and videos. Passcode has been wrongly entered 100 times by my little chiled. Is it possible to still keep the data?

My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. "Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. "I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can't get on. Can anyone help?

My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. “Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. “I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can’t get on. Can anyone help?

Experimental advice ... but, plausibly, the preference files containing the parental control setting may be damaged. If so, removing the iTunes preference files may help.
For the basic technique, see the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
To see those folders, you'll need to first set your PC to view hidden files and folders
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Prior to doing the preference file rebuilds: Best to make a note of any custom preferences you have set up for your iTunes. (Rebuilding pref files returns preferences to their defaults ... so you'll likely have to set some of those custom preferences up again from scratch.) Also make a note of any third-party plugins/add-ons you have installed. You may have to reinstall those after the rebuilds.
Things to watch out for during the rebuilds
Rebuilding the preference files in the \Local\ location causes the iTunes license agreement to run. So you'll need to agree to that again.
Rebuilding the preference files in the \Roaming\ location causes the iTunes Setup Assistant to run. When prompted to do so, do not add files to your iTunes library. (Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.)
