Downtimes, how do you handle them?

I was just wondering how the rest of the Nation handles their IronPort downtimes? Are they a big production, scheduled, notification to clients, approved by management? Or are they stealthy, done behind the scenes, nobody is aware of the changes?
I can see pro's and con's to each way and I'm just wondering what the rest of the community does.
What I'm currently facing is our department is trying to minimize scheduled downtimes as much as possible. I was just told that my downtime window will coincide with our Active Directory infrastructure downtimes. My concern is if something breaks, was it a domain controller issue or was it a IronPort issue?
What are everyone else's thoughts?

I don't think one is necessarily exclusive of other methods. I prefer to use a solution that fits the problem at hand.

Multiple Exceptions, how do you handle them

I was using the setLookAndFeel() method for UIManager in Swing, and that method throws like 4 different exceptions. All the exceptions that it throws extends the Exception class, so I can do a
try{}
catch(Exception e)
since Exception encapsulates everything, but is there another way?
like, catch (IOException IO, ClassNotFoundException CNFE, etc.)
or is there a way I can throw the exception at the top of my method and state that I am throwing 4 different type of exceptions.

oops. Missed the last part of your question. In general, a method you write can declare that it throws as many exceptions as you want. If it's totally your method (not overriding from a parent class or implementing from an interface), then have at it--altough, while compilatively legal, this is not necessarily good design. It's often better to declare an exception hierarchy for your package and throw that parent, or a couple of specific ones that wrap lower level exceptions.
If you're overriding or implementing, you can only throw exceptions listed by the method you're overriding or implementing, or subclasses of those exceptions. You can declare to throw a narrower set if you want, or none at all for that matter.
public void myMethod() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException { /* body */}

How do you handle multiple at the same address?

My wife just got an iMac. She is using the Birthday feature in Address Book and iCal to track our friends and family birthdays and anniversaries.
Question:
How do you track it when multiple people are at the same address? For instance, our friends are a family of four, but they all live at the same address. Do you need to make a separate Address Book card for each of them, even the 1 year old baby? Or can you track multiple people in a single card with custom fields?
If you do need to make multiple cards, then how do you handle mailing lists? For instance, if I make separate cards for all four of them, how do I make sure I only send on Christmas card when I use my Mac to print labels?
Thanks for any advice.

This is really an issue that you're going to have to resolve yourself since Apple's address book isn't really built with this in mind - darn it. For me there are three scenarios. First, a singleton. No problem. Second a family for which all members share the same information - acquantences to whom I don't send birthday greetings. These get one card and I'll put in both (or all) their names in the first name field (as in Bob and Jean). If there are children, in the last name field I'll add 'and Ken' or 'and the kids'. Third, a family for which some fields are different - perhaps cell phone number, birthday, etc.
For mailing purposes, I create a holiday group and put the people I'll be sending cards to into the group.

SMTP traffic blocked by ISP how do you handle it ?

I have recently installed the OCFO 10.1.3.07. We were using POP account previously and i had 2 account created in outlook (one using my SMTP server as outgoing mail server and the 2nd using the user ISP SMTP server) to let users send emails from home by letting them select the account in outlook before sending their mail without having them to configure anything.
I am now stuck here. I tried replicating the same kind of setup using OCFO and a secondary IMAP4 account but it doesnt work. The mail stays in the outbox. The only way to send from their homes is to run the configuration wizard and change the SMTP server adress.
How do you handle this? am i taking the wrong approach here?
Thanks for any inputs.

For anyone who might be interested,
I have submited a SR to oracle support and the workaround to this issue is to Create a 2nd mail profile and configure the OCFO with a different SMTP server within that profile.

How do you handle an incoming call while playing a game?

If you're playing a game on your iPhone, how do you handle an incoming call? A call will stop my app from running, but how do I save the state and restore it when the user starts the app again?
I have a bunch of objects on-screen and I need to record where they are so that the user doesn't lose the progress of their game.
I've looked through the SDK, but I can't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

I don't have a device to test with, but I suspect you'd want to save state in one of the UIApplicationDelegate callbacks:
applicationWillResignActive:
applicationWillTerminate:

How do *you* handle Old Time Radio (OTR) shows in iTunes?

I collect OTR shows, free from Internet Archive.
1. If you do as well
2. How do you put them into iTunes? As music or possibly audiobooks?
3. How do you signify it is OTR.
Currently I have them as Music, with "OTR" in the Genre list. But that really is not a genre and was hoping to get sone better ideas.

It's up to you, though you cannot edit the catagories list and won't be able to have OTR up next to music, audiobooks, and movies. The few plays I have I separate into genres. They aren't an audiobooks to me since they are plays, usually not a reading of the original book itself.

What causes vertical color lines on ipad2 and how do you remove them ?

What causes vertical color lines on an IPad. And how do you remove them ?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
If still present: Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Don't believe it's a factor, but you should update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
What's the story here?"
The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts. I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

Why do I use condition indexes? How do you activate them?

Hi all
Why do I use condition indexes? How do you activate them?
thanks all

You can create and use condition indices. You can use these indices to display, change and create condition records with reference. This transaction can include condition records with several condition types and tables. For example, you can use a condition index if you want to see all condition records that apply to a particular product regardless of whether the records are prices or discounts. In this case, you can use one of the standard condition indexes. Or you may want to see a list of condition records that contain a particular sales deal and a material from a user-specified list of products. To display this information, you can create your own condition index.
Creating a condition index is similar to creating a condition table. In Customizing for Sales, you select the combination of fields that you want in the index key. The system automatically proposes a list of permitted fields to choose from. The fields you specify for the key can have a maximum combined length of 100 characters.
The activation function displays a list of all available condition indexes and indicates which are active. The system can use a condition index only when it is activated. Before you can use the indexes that are delivered in the standard version, you must first activate them in Customizing for Sales. Some indices are activated automatically during generation. In addition, you must specify one of the following index updating requirements for each condition index:
Requirement 1: The index is updated when the user provides data for all fields in the index
Requirement 2: The index is updated when the user provides data for at least the first index field

If you know your password to iTunes but forgot your sercurity questions how would you change them?

If you know your password to iTunes but don't know your sercurity question answers how do you change them?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

TS1424 hi all how do you reset your security questions. i can not remember the answers. how do you reset them? i cant buy anything because it keeps coming up

hi all how do you reset your security questions. i can not remember the answers. how do you reset them? i cant buy anything because it keeps coming up

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
