Does it make sense for me to upgrade a 2007 macbook to lion?

My wife has a 2007 macbook 2.2 mhz intel dual core with 2GB of RAM. She is using Snow Leopard.
I updated my 2010 MBP to Lion and it works well; faster. I'm not sure it would be worth installing Lion on her machine.
Has anyone installed Lion on a similiar 2007 MB machine and how is the result?
Can you use all the gestures on the track pad?
Is it slowed down? or faster?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Does it make sense for kernel_task process to use hundreds of MB of RAM?

I'm not terribly knowledgeable about the UNIX heart of the Mac OS, but I have been troubled by this quirk on my machine for a while now. I can't figure why the kernel_task process on my machine seems to take triple the "Real Memory" as it does on every other computer I have looked at.
After starting up, PID 0 regularly grabs about 150 MB before settling down to around 110 MB. PID 0's Real Memory climbs and climbs as the day goes along. Right now, PID 0 is sitting at around 142 MB. My wife's computer, for instance, takes about 40-50MB for PID 0.
It gets even crazier for me as time goes along, I have seen PID 0 (kernel_task) climb regularly as high as 300+ MB of Real Memory. *** is going on that PID 0 is a blackhole for my RAM, and what might I have done that is causing PID 0 to immediately grab nearly triple the RAM as every other mac I have looked at?
Safari in Leopard is just as bad as far as grabbing RAM goes, but at least I can quit Safari to get it back to normal. With kernel_task the only solution I really have to get it to play nice with Real Memory is to restart the computer, right?
Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply! That does assuage my worry a bit. But I still do worry that in Leopard possibly kernel_task isn't then releasing all caches when no longer needed because after glances at Activity Monitor I will see kernel_task climb up into the 300+ MB regularly. And that's after a night of hours web browsing in Safari and reading and replying to email in Mail. Period. Still kernel_task hasn't been as offensive as Safari is at taking memory and not releasing it.
I guess I'll learn to live with it and let my tidy-side let up on this.

Does N make sense for me?

I'm considering the Airport Extreme N router.
Right now I use only an Airport Express. What do I have on my network? iMac with N, Powerbook with G, Apple TV with N, Nintendo Wii, iPhone, and I think that is it.
Now, the main two devices I use that are always on the network are my iMac and Apple TV, which are both N. N for the Apple TV would be nice.
However, the Wii always stays connected to cause it checks for messages and updates from Nintendo constantly. Will the Wii being in its standby mode knock my entire network down to G? I'd get no benefit from N because of the Wii calling home even though the iMac, Airport Extreme, and Apple TV are all N?
Thanks!!

Since you already have an AirPort Express Base Station (AX), you may want to consider getting the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) and configure them in a "dual band" network. This way 802.11n clients can connect to the AEBSn, and the 802.11g can connect to the AX.
Dual band networks are discussed, starting on page 48, in the Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility document.

Does it makes sense to create an index on a column used for partitioning

I am new to using partitions along with index. Can someone help me with the situation below?
I have a table defined like below
CREATE TABLE FACT_MASTER
PERIODCODE NUMBER(8) NOT NULL,
PRODUCT_CD NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
DPT_CD NUMBER(3),
FACT_VALUE1 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE2 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE3 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE50 NUMBER
PARTITION BY RANGE (PERIODCODE)
partition P1 values less than (2002),
partition P2 values less than (2003),
partition P3 values less than (2004),
This table is partitioned by range on Period code.
In a select query on this table, period code and product code are being used. I am planning to create an index to boost the performance. Does it make sense to include the period code column also in the index? I am planning to create index only for the product code column. I am thinking that the partition itself will act like an index for periodcode. Can someone tell me if this is correct? I am using 10g.

In your scenario I think it's better not to create an index on PERIODCODE because this column probaly has a only few distinct values.
In other scenarios, when in the same partition there are many distinct values of the partitioning key, creating an index can be an advantage for query performances..
But it depends on the specific context...

Does it make sense to create a worker role for data access to DocumentDB?

Hi,
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC app that will run on Azure. I'm using DocumentDB as its back-end database.
Sometimes, I return multiple data sets from different collections that need to be "reorganized". I handle this using LINQ in my application code. Does it make sense then to put all my data access and manipulation code into a worker role that I
can call from my web application that will run as a web role?
The reason why I'm thinking this may be beneficial is that I could scale up my worker role to increase its data manipulation capacity.
On the other hand, in most cases, my web role has to wait for a response from the DAL before it can do anything -- meaning, I cannot handle data access asynchronously -- I'm wondering if worker role approach makes any sense. I think mostly, worker roles
are used for operations that can run asynchronously.
I'd appreciate your feedback on this.
Thanks, Sam

Hi,
Worker role applications are background processing applications like Windows processes which run in the background. Applications hosted within worker roles can run asynchronous, we usually use worker role to do some long-running or perpetual tasks, and
use scale function to load balance the tasks. Based on your description, it seems that worker role is a good choice for you, please try it, if you have further issues, welcome to create new threads in our forum.

Does an "incomplete font" warning make sense for ttf?

Hi all,
we are getting "font incomplete" errors in the package dialog. According to the online help this "Lists fonts that have a screen font on the current computer but not a corresponding printer font."
Does that even make sense for true types? As far as I know there is no such thing as a separate screen and printer font in ttf.
To make things worse the fonts in question are Georgia and Times New Roman - both are system fonts.
Specs:
Windows 7 64 bit SP1
InDesign 7.04
I can't reproduce this on my machine but that's running 32 bit.
Should we ignore it?
Any hints appreciated - tried a forum search but didn't find very much.
Regards,
Mike

There is no real erro message but a warning in the package dialog (sorry but we are using the German version):
The report doesn't offer much more information:

We actually don't even know where TimesNewRoman comes from - I suspect it's in one of the numerous linked pdf files. But then the dialog should state which files they come from.

A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

Does EAP/SIM make sense for others than mobile operators?

Hi,
I'm wondering about the many different EAP authentication protocols. One of these is EAP/SIM (initiated by Nokia). I think the advantage of this authentication method might be the kind of key exchange. Users are familiar in using SIM-cards. Out of this consideration I have some questions:
* Is EAP/SIM as secure as EAP/TLS or EAP/Cisco?
* Does it make sense to use EAP/SIM as an WISP (given that the WISP is NOT a GSM/UMTS mobile operator)?
* What is the position of Cisco to EAP/SIM? Will Cisco support it?
Best regards,
Armin

GW2012 move: Does it make sense to move users to a new PO?

Moving from GW8 on OES-NW to GW2012 on OES11: Does it make sense to create new post office and move users?
We have a medium size GroupWise 8 system with a single post office holding less than 600 user accounts, 128 resources and 77 distribution lists.
Due to politics we also have a non-GroupWise external domain that contains a non-GroupWise external post office with a large number of "users".
The post office is on the primary domain.
3 secondary domains hold a GWIA and two web access agents.
I've never been real clear where the external stuff exists...
One of the web access gateways resides on an OES11 server.
The other webaccess agent and the GWIA are on OES-NW servers.
All reside in NSS volumes.
Given the lack support for NSS volumes on Linux servers by most backup applications (including mine), I've pretty much determined that it makes sense to move my GW system to EXT3 volumes.
Even if I change backup software and stick with NSS, and even though all my data is stored on SAN arrays, from what I've read on the forums and from Danita's books, it's preferable to copy your GW system files to a new NSS volume, as opposed to just re-attaching the OES-NW LUN to the new OES11 server.
Point being, whatever I do will involve copying the entire system via dbcopy and at some point, will also involve shutting down the existing domain and PO for the last phase of the copying process.
So..., I'm contemplating the following scenario:
Create a new OES11 server with EXT3 volumes sufficient for holding my GroupWise system.
Create new GroupWise 8 domain on the server.
Promote the new domain to primary and upgrade this new domain to GroupWise 2012.
Once the new domain is upgraded, create new GW2012 post office on new server/primary domain and migrate the users, resources and distribution lists to the new post office.
In the past I've had an additional post office and had migrated a about 20-25 users to that post office.
It wasn't a terrible process, and fortunately, I didn't run into any problems with the migration of those users.
When I re-consolidated my system, moving them back was also problem free
On the pro side:
No downtime of entire system
Relatively simple
Any issues in the migration process would be user-specific and would not effect the entire system.
On the con side:
Process could take far longer, since you can't move a lot of users simultaneously.
In addition, we have a small group of users with anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 email in their account, so I'd have to factor that into haw many users I migrate at one time.
The chance of running into a stalled migration, for whatever reason, is probably much higher than running into a problem with moving the domain and PO via dbcopy.
The unknown factors for me and my level of experience:
It's been a while since I've had multiple post offices, so I don't recall what changes the users might see with regard to distribution lists, web access or external email.

Is there any reason you think that warrants to do so?
If the system is performing normally I'd opt to stick to upgrading the current setup as is.
I'm also curious, are you intending to upgrade to 2014 after the 2012 upgrade?

Ok, that setup makes the upgrade easier. As you will start the upgrade with the primary holding the PO's... the PO's can be upgraded right after or during the domain upgrade (depending on if the MTA and POA are running on the same server).
That means you don't have to think about upgraded webaccess/GWIA connectivity issues with a lower PO version.
The external stuff are simply configurations found in the existing GroupWise domain databases. Or do you mean where those connected systems actually run?

All reside in NSS volumes.
And the primary Domain and PO are also still on NetWare (version 6.5 SP8 I presume), correct?

Which backup application is that? With GroupWise op Linux not much NSS support is needed IMO.... as long as the files get backed up properly other metadata (rights, ownerships, etc) is irrelevant.
As for EXT3 vs NSS, when dealing with OES I always choose NSS. But that's me.
Another option could be to use XFS instead of ext3. That does perform much better, but has to be noted that it is more prone to file corruption in unexpected power loss situations.
With ext3, watch out for the scheduled filesystem check cycles at boot, that is one thing I really dislike about ext3 as disabling that check completely is not recommended and it means at least once a year the system will take an extensive amount of time to complete a (re)boot due to the check running on the ext3 filesystem. That usually pops up on you when you are not counting on it and "just quickly" want to reboot the server in a patching routine or other.

Yes, it's always good if you can start with a clean volume when transitioning from NetWare to OES.
Depending on how long you can afford to have the system down during upgrade, you can also choose the route of moving the NetWare LUN to the new OES server. Adding a second new LUN to the OES server with the needed size and initializing it with a new NSS volume and then just simply do a volume to volume copy using the cp of rsync command. As it's on the same server that can go quite quickly within an acceptable maintenance window to complete all move/upgrade steps.

Sure, though you don't necessarily have to use dbcopy... depending on what you are planning to do. An offline copy won't require it for example.
How much data are we talking about (in GB's)?

If you really want to move users.... sure. I'd again opt for upgrading the existing system.
Also, it's a good rule to have the PO's running the same GroupWise version and patchlevel before commencing user moves. Moves between PO's with a different GroupWise version can lead to issues.

If you would want to move users, for whatever reason, I'd opt to first upgrade to the latest version first, then move. There have been many enhancements and bugfixes made in the move procedure over these last couple of years.

I prefer a system upgrade over moving users. The process of moving when dealing with 100+ users, requires more effort and there are always things that need attention for a portion of the users. Also things like mobile devices can require some extra attention after having moved an account for example.
True, problems during a system upgrade can potentially affect all users. That is a factor. From the many upgrades I've done that's rarely really been an issue and problems encountered during an upgrade did not cause too much delay. Just make sure you always have a good full backup handy so you can reverse the upgrade if ever needed.

If by this you are referring to user moves and address book visibility between PO's, that should not be different to what users are seeing now. At least, the default is that within a GroupWise system all is visible throughout the system. If you have specifically set GroupWise objects to Postoffice visibility... then that would be something to check.

How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this, how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
any suggestions?

Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ? That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine". Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

On your Macs open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
See if you can open the files now without opening on the iPhone first.

My ipod 5 wont connect to wifi, all the other devices in the house will does not make sense

Ipod 5 wont conect to wifi in my house when other devices do. does not make sense, went to apple store connected no problem there. Funny thing is it has worked since christmas now all the sudden i have problems, any ideas?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
