Dual Usage?

I'm sorry if the answer to this question is fairly basic, but I'm new to i-pod and can't seem to find the solution!
Just got a new i-pod nano, my girlfriend had had an i-pod mini for some time. We share the same computer.
Is there a way to set up a seperate i-tunes account so that I can just download my tunes, as oppose to putting all our stuff on the same library and manually unchecking all of her tunes, every time I want to update mine?
I had hoped that having installed the disc that came with the nano, it might download a seperate i-tunes account, but it keeps telling me that I'll have to remove the original. (Which, of course I can't unless I fancy a slow and painful death at the hands of my partner!)
Any help gratefully received

Dual usage in plsql

hi,
I have one query for which i am not getting much over net so raising here for help.
when we use SELECT FROM DUAL in PLSQL block , is it working like normal SQL query and does it goes every time to oracle server or it will be processed by PLSQL engine only.
also excessive usage of SELECT FROM DUAL can lead to ORA 600 in PLSQL procedure also or this issue is only limited to ORACLE FORMS.
Thanks.

Edited by: KriC on Feb 28, 2013 7:03 AMYes, a select from dual in PL/SQL will involve a call to the sql engine. While the PL/SQL compiler does check for syntax and permissions at compile time, it does not "understand" the query it is checking so cannot optimize it out.
In most recent versions of PL/SQL there is very little need to select from dual as most uses of that idiom can be done through a simple assignement instead.
I have never heard that excessive use of select from dual can cause ORA-00600 errors in any environment, and certainly not in PL/SQL.

PC & Laptop dual usage with one iTunes account...

i just bought a laptop and downloaded iTunes onto it, using the same account as I have on my home pc. I purchased some songs from iTunes on the laptop and I can't download them onto my iPhone, nor am I able to access those purchases on my home pc's iTunes. The purchases show up on my iTunes purchase history though. Is there anyway that I can use both my pc and laptop to access new purchases? Also, why am I not able to download to my phone using my laptop's iTunes account?

iphone will sync itunes content and pics from one and ONLY ONE computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will first erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
Also, music does not magically appear on other computers. You buy one and ONLY ONE download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
You can use home share, external drive, flash drive, cds, etc to move/copy/backup your music.

Two Usages for External Backup Drive?

Hello, I am Steven and new to Time Machine
I have purchased a 320 GB Maxtor external hard drive as my backup disk
But I also want to use that external drive to store movies and music from my other computer (PC desktop); just wondering if that's feasible, to have dual usages at the same time. Thanks

Hi Steven
Welcome to the discussions!
Yes, you can do what you're describing. Here's how I'd recommend it. If you haven't stored anything on the drive yet (or, if you've only done one backup and don't mind starting from scratch), repartition the drive using Disk Utility. You can find this in your Utilities folder.
Once the utility is open, click on the external drive in the left-hand panel, and go to the Partitions tab. Set up two partitions, and make the second (storage) partition large enough to store your other files.
Format the first (backup) partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If you want to be able to use the second partition with a PC, format it as "MS DOS (FAT32)", otherwise stick to the Mac Extended as before. Name the partitions something sensible. Once that's done, Time Machine will automatically kick in and ask if you want to use either partition as backup - say Yes to the backup section and No to the storage section. And that's it!

Question About Photo Printers

Excuse me for asking a question about photo printers here, but I could not find a place in the Apple Discussions form for printers.
I'm thinking about buying an Epson R1900 printer since my primary selection criteria is the quality of glossy photographs.
However, I have been told that use of the R1900 for general purposes (with a "standard" printer setting and non-photo paper) will detract from the R1900's performance when it will be used for printing photos (with photo RPM printer settings on premium photo paper or other media). But I just do not know whether this is correct. I was planning to have only one printer and expecting to use the photo printer as my "general purpose" printer (text, documents etc.).
I would appreciate receiving advice/guidance from people who know about printers and/or people having with experience with the Epson R1900.
Thanks for your help.

I use my photo printer in two ways.
For high quality prints I use the manufacturers Glossy paper and their expensive archival Quality inks for excellent results. More commonly though, I change out those ink cartridges and replace them with a cheaper water soluble ink bought online and use normal A4 copy paper for printing web pages and PDF documents.
This second practice is about 60% cheaper in ink and copy paper is only about 1 cent per sheet and is satisfactory for such documents.
The disadvantage is that is does require physically replacing one set of ink cartridges for the other, also if moving from basic to quality, I also do the inkhead alignment tests and adjustments to ensure that the output for glossy photos is going to be first rate.
I find this necessary to prevent waste of good pigments, yet it still allows the printer to be used for more mundane usage of printing documents. The cost of printers is heavily discounted, as the manufacturers recoup their cost from the sale of ink. Hence one needs to have this dual usage in place to get the best of both worlds.
This advice is not specific to one model photo printer, rather it is a general approach developed after spending too much money on good ink, printing web pages.

Dual display and VRAM usage.

Hi, back in the days I wanted a 12" iBook but couldn't afford one, last autumn thought I decided to get a Macbook Pro, the update came and...
.. it had 128MB vram.
I want to use dual screen and maybe even occasional gaming, I couldn't decide if this where sufficient for my needs or not so I waited for the june update.
The mid-07 MBP arrived and, it had 128MB vram AGAIN!
Why oh why Apple? Oh, don't answer that, it's because you're in bed with Intel and want to force feed us useless highest end CPUs. But all I care for is the VRAM, why do I have to pay a ****-of-a-lot for a 1/11th faster CPU?
Anyway, I tried to decide if I should "bit the sour Apple" and get the mid modell or just get the low one because that one is much more price worthy. A few days ago I ordered the low end one.
But then I've seen on barefeats that he says that a 30" ACD display would use 128MB vram of the 256MB vram modell, are vram always splitted between displays in OS X?
You see, if the extra 20" 1680x1050 display only use 1680x1050x(3 or 4) bytes that is ok, maybe even if it's double buffered (is it?), because then I will probably have like 100MB vram left for all my windows and for desktop usage that is probably ok. But if the vram is shared between displays and my 20" which I will use most only get 64MB vram that's quite low.
I know I can turn of the sleeping capabilities of the MBP and shut the lid and only use one screen but that's a quite lame solution.
I hate how Apple does this, and it seems to worry a lot of people. Some get the more expensive modell and hate that they had to do it, some doesn't, and some don't buy a machine at all .. I would probably have stayed in the last crowd.
256MB vram can't have cost them many tens of dollars, why not have that in all modells? Why is the middle one even needed? Just make 2.4GHz CPU and option in that case.
Anyway, does anyone know how much vram my screen will have available? Will 128MB work for me with all the regular desktop apps I will have running? Or should I really go with the 256MB one? The tricky part is that my MBP might be shipped today or similair.
I've called Apple support three times but noone of them knows how this works so they aren't for much help.
(Dell vostro 1500 sells here in Sweden for less than half the price of the mid MBP and comes way more balanced, you can even get a 1680x1050 screen. Sure it has 2.0GHz CPUs or whatever but I don't care about that. Where is the old "omg MHz myth"-Apple? Please understand CPU speed isn't everything. Instead of leading the MHz myth fight it ;D, start calling the CPUs T7300 and so on aswell ;D)

Hi Johan, actually the VRAM used by OS X is likely to be quite a bit more than just your screen resolution multiplied by 3 or 4, since each open window is composited offscreen for the shadow effects and for things like zooming (Ctrl-Mousewheel) and the "Genie effect".
I'm pretty sure the total VRAM isn't divided in half for each of the two displays though, as it will be allocated from the video driver on an as-needed basis. In practice, with both displays active and a few windows open, you should still have maybe 80-90% of your VRAM available for applications.
Games and other VRAM-heavy applications are a special case as these will typically use as much VRAM as you can give them, and swap out to system RAM via the PCI-X bus when they need more (and unlike swapping to disk, swapping into VRAM from system RAM is still pretty fast).

Uneven Core usage on dual core processor

Hi there
I noticed today whilst doing some video encoding (.TS files to .MP4) that my Mac Mini is not spreading the load over both of the cores in my dual core processor. Whilst Core 1 is showing nearly 100% Core 2 is hardly being used. Also I noticed that when the load on Core 1 dips then Core 2 will peak but as soon as the load goes back to Core 1 it will equally dip on Core 2 so essentially in Activity Monitor it looks like the core usage is a negative image of each other. The total CPU usage never peaked above 54%.
Could this an indication of a failing CPU or is it a case of poor core management? The software I've been using is VLC Player and also iMagiConverter.
Cheers
Jonty

What I don't understand is why software developers make software (especially video encoding that is all about CPU number crunching) that only utilises 50% of the CPU resources!
There are any number of possible reasons, from an application using a cross-platform code base that doesn't lend itself well to mulitiprocessor optimization for a particular platform, to inexperienced programmers who don't well understand programming for parallel threads, to developers who just want to crank out an application as quickly as they can (iMagiConverter seems to sort of fall into that category, given the number of applications of a similar nature that the "company" has produced). You'd have to get involved in the project development to know for sure.
Regards.

Usage or advantage of Dual Gigabit Ethernet

Just for my curiosity and knowledge, what is the advantage and usage of having a Dual Gigabit Ethernet behind the Mac Pro?
Any examples? or Articles I can read?
thank you

You can use the first one for Internet-bound and local traffic, the second for a local File Server.
IF you have a device that explicitly supports the required bonding protocol, you can bond the two links for even faster transfers.
The speed of even a single Gigabit Ethernet link exceeds almost every Internet connection, so the main benefit is in local file transfers (to other computers or servers).

Dual disk usage, 32 bit and 64 bit

Heres what I have. I bought a dual disk Windows 7. One disk is 32 bit the other 64 bit. I have the 64 bit (disk-1), on my desktop and all is well. I have a laptop with windows Vista, it's a proprietary computer, an Acer. What I want to find
out is can I install The Windows 7 -32 bit (disk-2) on my laptop, and run the 64 bit on my desktop. Is it legal to do this over top of the Vista 32 bit laptop.
Thank you,
Steve

No, it's not legal to use a single license in two different PCs at the same time. A product key is considered as a license. Even though two disk are provided, only a single product key will be provided, meaning, only one license but can be used with different
architectures.Two disks are provided for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. These two releases can be used in a single PC only, and can even be at the same time as dual boot, but not in two different PCs.

Usage of dual processor

I'm curious Macromedia are charging CFMX7 per-server, not
per-CPU. So the question is, if you have a dual CPU box, does CFMX7
take advantage of the second CPU? It's particulary important for CF
as it's really CPU-hungy.
Anyone has any experience or tips on this?

1 server install = 2 CPUs (physical), beyond that you need
more licenses.

CiscoWorks how many switches in stack + dual Power supply usage

Hi,
Please tell me that is it possible to see in CiscoWorks that device with dual power supplies is using both or just one. e.g 6500
Also I need to count the total number of physical switches in the company but I am only able to generate a inventory report that only shows logical devices, but it do not show if the switch is stack then how many physical switches are in stack.
Is it also possible to count the total number of physical devices in the company instead of just logical devices.
I am using the
LMS: 1.2.0
RME: 4.3.0
CS:    3.3.0
CM:   5.2.1
DFM: 3.2.0
Thanks.

Thanks for reply.
In the detailed device view I am able to see that switch has 2 power supply, but but unable to see that its using either only one or both. But I understand your point that if its not visible here then its not possible.
Explainantion of my second query: My company want to know that how many physical switches has been installed. We manage over 2500 logical switches in the company and management want to have a report showing that how many total physical switches exist.
Is it possible to generate a report which shows that each logical switch contains how many physical swithes and/ or total number of physical switches in the company.
e.g MLS001 (logical switch) contains sw1 (physical switch), sw2 (physical switch), sw3 (physical switch), sw4 (physical switch)
     MLS002 (logical switch) contains sw1 (physical switch), sw2 (physical switch)
CiscoWorks generate a report shows that 6 physical switches exist.
Please reply ASAP. Thanks

Possible to add another monitor to macbook for dual screen usage?

Hiya,
I would like to find out if I can connect another monitor to my Macpro so I can work with 2 screens? I can easily do this with a pc laptop ad there is a monitor plug in but I don't see one for my macpro.
Cheers,
John

Recent MacBooks have a Mini DisplayPort or a Thunderbolt port, which can be converted to DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, or HDMI. A Mirrored second display is supported by all MacBooks, and many support the more useful "Extended Desktop".
Extended Desktop combines the screens along an edge of your choosing to form a much taller or wider desktop. You can drag windows to either display or split them across displays, and the two parts will scroll and update in perfect synchrony. The feature has been present in the operating System since at least System 4.2 in 1987, and is supported by all well-behaved Mac Applications.
NB: "Full Screen" feature in Mac OS X 10.7 is an iPhone feature ported to Mac OS X, and is useless for large displays and completely frustrating for multiple displays. Do not activate it thinking it is part of the solution -- it is for 4.7 inch single displays.

Quicksilver Dual 1GHz PCI Slot Usage

I just purchased this QS off eBay, and have developed the following configuration under OS X 10.3.9:
Slot 1 GeForce4 MX
Slot 2 ATTO ExpressPCIProUL3d with 50GB Seagate
Slot 3 Sonnet Tango FW/USB
Slot 4 M-Audio 2496
Slot 5 Sonnet ATA100 with a Maxtor 60GB attached
I'm running the OS and most applications off a Seagate pATA 120GB attached to the motherboard ATA channel. It is new and of the 7200.9 model.
Is this an optimal arrangement? or does it matter?
Heatwise, the 50GB drive is warmer (and thicker) than the others, so I put it into the middle floor bay. It is an SCA type and has an adapter on it, which makes it close when the door is closed ... close to the main set of powercables that are bundled together towards the middle, and plugged into the motherboard. Maybe too close?
The ATA cable to the Maxtor and the SCSI cable to the Seagate SCA are clothes-pinned separately to neaten the cabling.
Any comments?
One additional observation: My external power light has 2+ levels of brightness as I power up the QS ... is this normal? or am I taxing the power supply (or is this a sign of a weak power supply)?
Mac Plus, Performa 6116, PPC 8500, 9500, QS 2@1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5GB RAM

Here are some responses (to date) for the power consumptions:
Slot 1 GeForce4 MX (no information available from Apple, nVidia or other sources)
Slot 2
Slot 3 ATTO ExpressPCIProUL3d with 50GB Seagate (4.35 Watts/5V (ATTOTech))
Slot 4 Sonnet Trio FW/USB/ATA133 with Maxtor 60GB attached (<= 15 Watts (SonnetTech))
Slot 5 M-Audio 2496 (no response from M-Audio)
Assuming a maximum of 15 watts per card gives a max of 75 watts for the PCI bus.<br>

Dual processors & Logic: Anyway to designate CPU usage?

I've been told that a single plug-in can only be assigned to a single CPU in Logic, and in my personal setup, it seems CPU 1 is doing most of the work (75%) while CPU 2 only does about 15%. When I do heavy songs, CPU 1 starts peaking while CPU 2 is never even close to 50%!! Is there a way for the user to designate which CPU is being used for particular plugins/processing? I'd like to better balance my CPU between my two processors if at all possible, allowing for more processing power on those heavy songs.
Thanks in advance!

In short, no. That is not a user option. However, I have found that running the song for a bit and then stopping the song and restarting from the beginning often balances out the CPU load.
