Dumb Question about 10.5.6 updater ...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Combo Update and the plain "Update" for 10.5.6 listed on the download Apple website?

The "plain" updater only contains software changes since 10.5.5 and will update 10.5.5 to 10.5.6. The "combo" updater contains all updates since 10.5.0 and will update anything from 10.5.x to 10.5.6. The combo updater will sometimes "fix" problems related to an incremental update if the problems are related to a missing or corrupt piece from one of the previous "earlier" incremental updates.

  • Maybe a dumb question, about which power connectors to use, but....

    This may sound like an incredibly dumb question, but here goes anyway....
    I upgraded my system a few weeks ago, and will be slapping in a new ATI X850 Pro AGP card in a few days.  My current graphics card is a p.o.s. Radeon 9550, so it doesn't have its own power connector or even a fan.  My PSU is a dual-rail Antec model, and I'm wondering if it should matter any about how many or which devices I have connected to each power cable set.  My psu came with cables to attach, only 2 of the 4 though are the 4-pin molex - the other 2 are pci-e power connectors I believe.  Should it make a difference which or how many devices I connect to each cable?  For ease of plugging in, I believe my DVDRW and CDRom are using 1 cable, and my ide drive and floppy are using the other cable. Also, I have a pci fan and a case fan running off 1 or the other.  I'm likely to jump the power cable for the video card off the one the hard drive is using, unless someone has some suggestion to offer to the contrary.
    If it makes a difference, can anyone recommend how they would have them connect?
    My list of devices to plug in would be:
    1)IDE HDD
    2)Floppy
    3)CDRom
    4)DVDRW
    5)Case Fan
    6)PCI Fan
    7)Video Card
    Thanks for any thoughts!  SAB - you seem to be the man on builds.....any ideas? 

    Well, I put the new card in and connected it on a cable with the optical drives.  Also, I had unwittingly connected my cdrom on the same ide channel as my hdd    , so I changed that so both optical drives are on the secondary ide.
    So far, so good.  3dMark03 jumped up from 3300 with an overclocked Radeon 9550 to 10570 with the stock Radeon 850 Pro 
    I wish I could find some local source to purchase additional molex cords for my Antec SmartPower 2.0 psu, though - I've got 2 more 'outlets' just sitting there on the psu doing nothing, because the other cables are for pci-e, and I'm not using pci-e......  If I could buy some additional molex cables to plug in like the ones that came with it, I could have the vid card on its own cable....

  • A dumb question about wifi...

    I'm not as 'literate' as some are when it comes to computer technology...but here is the question...If I walk into a place that has wifi and my iphone is set with wifi ON, how will I know if there is a charge for using the wifi? Will my iphone automatically kick into the wifi or will there appear an invitation to pay a fee to connect...and how do you pay and do you have to have a password and if so, how do you get that? I know....dumb question...Thanks.

    Not a dumb question at all.
    First of all, set your iPhone up like this:
    1) Go to Settings on the main screen (looks like gears)
    2) Click on "Wi-Fi" (second option from the top)
    3) At the bottom of this page (Which should say "Wi-Fi Networks" at the top) turn "Ask to Join Networks" to the "ON" position.
    Now when you walk into a place that has Wi-Fi, your iPhone will display a little window that asks you whether you want to join the network or not.
    In some places, you may even see a list of more than one Wi-Fi network to join. This is quite common in New York City. The reason is because so many people have Wi-Fi in there apartments, and they all live so close together, that sometime your iPhone can detect multiple networks. The coffee shop near my apartment has their own network, but I can also connect to the Wi-Fi network in my apartment because I only live about 50 feet away.
    Anyway, when you see the list of Networks to join, you may notice a little padlock symbol next to some of them. This means these are closed networks that require a password to connect to. (My network is "Closed", ie requires a password so that everyone in the coffee shop next door doesn't use my internet).
    Networks that DO NOT have the little lock symbol are "Open" which means you can join them without a password. But there is a catch... A lot of coffee shops have open networks, but as soon as you try to browse the web, they redirect your browser to their own page, no matter what web address you enter. Basically, they are letting you connect to their network without a password, but not letting you browse the internet without giving them some money.
    So (as the previous poster said) the page that the coffee shops redirects you to, usually has instructions, and of course a place to put in a credit card. Once you do all that, then you can browse the internet without getting redirected to their little payment page. Its sort of confusing because you don't need a password to connect to their "open" network, but you do need one to browse any web pages. How you get the password differs from coffee shop to coffee shop, but usually they give it to you right inside your web browser once you give them your credit card number.
    T-Mobile provides wireless for Starbucks (at least in a lot of places they do). So once you have an account with t-mobile, you can use it in any starbucks or "T-mobile hotspot"
    Now this all sounds kind of complicated, but more and more these days, you can just walk into a place, find an open network (one without a lock next to it) and start browsing without being redirected or dealing with credit cards. Basically these places are providing free internet to try to attract customers.
    Good luck
    P.S. Wi-Fi eats up battery life. If you aren't going to be using it to browse web pages, you can go into settings, then Wi-Fi, and turn Wi-Fi off. This will save you battery life, but you have to remember to turn it back on. Even without Wi-Fi on, you can still browse the internet if you see a little "E" at the top of your screen. The E stands for the AT&Ts Edge network, which isn't as fast as Wi-Fi, but covers pretty much everywhere that your phone can get a signal.

  • Dumb Question about multiple BSSIDs

    This is probably a dumb question, but enquiring minds want to know...
    When using Yosemite's built-in Wireless Diagnostics scan I see many unique WiFi BSSIDs (MAC addresses) associated with my Time Capsule: 5 for my Guest Network and 6 for my "main" network. I see that not all have the same 802.11 protocol, but not all have unique 802.11 protocols. Also I see my "main" network is the 802.11ac network.
    So my questions are:
    - Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
    - Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
    The 5 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
    The 2.4 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
    If you have the Guest Network setup......
    The 5 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
    The 2.4 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
    If you have multiple AirPort routers, repeat the information above for each router.
    Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
    Personally, I pay no attention to this, but some users place great importance on this.
    The BSSID tells you which AirPort.....if you have multiple AirPorts....and which band....2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.....that you are connected to at the current time....as well as whether you are connected to the "main" network, or the "guest" network.....if you have enabled the guest function.

  • Dumb question about browser dectection

    I have a web application that looks awesome in IE but in Firefox it looks clunky and blocky. What I need to perform is a validation to see what browser the client is using. I have done this before on simple html pages javascript browser sniffing. Well it seems that I can't for the life of me to be able to get this working in Creator.
    My web project is a Sun Creator Web application. My OS is Windows
    Does anyone have any idea or references that you could supply to me?
    The following code works in an html environment but in a jsp I cant get the different style sheets to work.
    document.write("<link id="link1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/WebDemoExtractor/resources/introductionFireFox.css" /> ");
    U jave tried many variations of the following
    document.write("<ui:link binding='#{introduction.link2}' id='link2' url='/resources/introductionFireFox.css'/>")
    I have tried performing many variations with the the above and I have had no success.
    Is it even possible to perform this function??
    Thank you

    I think you mean how is it possible to view YouTube videos in Safari on iPad, right?
    Basically, YouTube senses the browser you're using. Because Safari on iPad doesn't support Flash, YouTube delivers the movie in a format the iPad can play (like H.264, as a previous post mentioned). This happens with YouTube videos embedded on other web sites, too.
    I hope this helps.
    I was in an Apple Store a few days ago, and a teenage kid really wanted an iPad. His dad said, "but it doesn't play flash, so you won't get to see YouTube videos that you love." Kid said, something expletive deleted.
    The son then picked up the iPad, and he clicked on the YouTube icon. Walked out of the store with it. Sales guy and I laughed. Made my day.

  • Dumb question about user_sdo_geom_metadata DIMINFO entries

    I'm sure that this is a dumb question!
    I create a new entry in user_sdo_geom_metadata as follows...
    INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
    VALUES ( 'PR_A', 'GEOM',
    MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
    MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X',190000.0,640000.0, 0.05),
    MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y',120000.0,680000.0, 0.05)
    NULL );
    But when I select the DIMINFO from the table...
    SQL> select diminfo from user_sdo_geom_metadata a where table_name = 'PR_A';
    DIMINFO(SDO_DIMNAME, SDO_LB, SDO_UB, SDO_TOLERANCE)
    SDO_DIM_ARRAY(SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 190000, 640000, 0), SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 1200
    00, 680000, 0))
    The sdo_dim_element and sdo_tolerance
    elements show no decimal places.
    Is this because I have not set some
    display number format option in SQLPLUS
    or for some other reason?
    regards
    Simon

    Simon,
    If you are using an old sqlplus client
    (815) then you won't be able to see the decimal places in the diminfo object.
    But if you hace a newer (816/817) sqlplus
    client you should be able to see the decimal places.
    If you are not seeing them in these clients
    then there might be some format paramter set
    to show numbers without decimals.
    You can do a
    show numformat
    in sqlplus to see if there is any format set for that paramter.

  • Dumb question about cycling a battery. Sorry!

    I just received by new mac book pro replacement battery today and I have some questions regarding it. First of all, my original battery lasted 2 yrs, 2 mos. I purchased another apple battery for my 15 inch mac book pro (computer originally purch. Aug. 2007). I've seen on these boards that I'm supposed to "cycle" the battery once a week to get the maximum life out of it. I think a cycle means using the battery until it's power is used up and then charge up to 100% again. Is that right? Anyway, my question is, "What is the proper care for this new battery? Does it damage it to have it plugged in when it is fully charged? Or should I always keep it unplugged and use the battery until it runs out and then charge it again? And what does it mean to cycle it once a week, if I'm already using the battery and recharging it when needed?" Sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm not really computer savvy! Thanks.

    You should use the battery for a while every day but not drain it right down, before re-connecting the power and re-charging it to 95%+ this is not a complete cycle but partial/normal cycling.
    _Every couple of months_ you should re-calibrate the battery which means you keep using it until it goes into emergency sleep itself (you will see a warning then 5 minutes later it will go off by itself) and then _leave it in this state for at least 5 hours_ before you re-connect the power supply and fully charge it (without unplugging) - this is a proper re-calibration.

  • Question about the new JAVA Update J2SE 5.0 Release 3

    Here is some info about this update:
    Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 3 allows applications and applets developed for the J2SE 5.0 platform to run on Mac OS X v 10.4.2 and later.
    This update does NOT CHANGE the DEFAULT VERSION of Java on your Mac from Java 1.4.2 to J2SE 5.0, though Java applications that require J2SE 5.0 may specifically request it. You can change the preferred Java version for applications and applets by using the new Java Preferences utility. This utility is installed by the J2SE 5.0 update at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302412
    HERE IS MY QUESTION---
    This update makes me nervous cause I don't know much about Java. IF I change my default version to this new 5.0 will it mean that some of the older Java stuff on the web won't work? Should I just download this and ignore it? What should I do about this update?
    Thanks for the help!
    Renée

    I too seem to be suffering issues with loading web pages after the 10.4.3/Java 5.0 update. I have reinstalled both updates, changed the java settings, emptied all the caches, and tried various combinations thereof, and I still have problems with web pages loaded. most of the problems appear to be related to rendering frames and images - In fact a couple of web sites I navigate to (upon looking at the source for the page" state "It appears your browser does not support frames." I think this is something broken in the latest release. Unfortunately, I cannot reinstall the latest copy of Safari, because the installer states "This version of Safari cannot be installed. It requires version 10.4.2." I guess I am in a pickle until Apple comes out with another update. BTW I have some pages that Safari will not render but IE running on the same box will. I also noticed that the problem propagated to other applications that use Java....For instance the Dashboard widget from google (Google Maps) no longer renders the tiled (framed?) map pieces...instead you get the ubiquitous "?" icon.

  • Question about Legally Unlocked iPhones & Update 'locking'?

    Please forgive me if this has been covered before, as I am a totally newbie in this area.
    I have a question regarding legally unlocked iphones:
    If I bought an iphone from a country that offered legally unlocked cellphones like Singapore for example, and then used it/patched it up for the first time AFTER bringing it back into the US, would this 'lock' the cellphone to only work in the US, or with ATT?
    The reason I ask is due to two points: A) I know that certain countries offer cellphones that were never locked to begin with. B) I have read that after installing the latest patch (2.2.1 I think) in the US, iphones that were previously locked and then unlocked, will be re-locked.
    So my question is basically this: What would happen in the event that you update a phone that was never locked to begin with? Would it 'lock' for the first time? Or would it remain unlocked still?
    Thank you.

    Legally unlocked iPhones have to be updated in the country where they were purchased to guarantee they are not relocked...Every country has their own iTunes -- When you connect to iTunes in the US you are connecting with a US ISP address on your computer. You would have a completely different ISP code in a different country.
    Wait to update and see what others are finding before you attempt to update in the US. It is completely within Apple's right to relock phones used within the USA.
    This is not the right forum site to get updates on this. A google search will bring up non-Apple websites where you will get up to date information about this.

  • I may have a relativly dumb question about the newer iTunes

    ok, I got a video iPod for my birthday, which was in the first week of august, and I put iTunes on my comp, but I haven't updated iTunes since because I have been reading there were so many bugs with the iTunes they released. Then I see they came out with a newer version, but I haven't downloaded it yet because I was afraid about the problems and bugs. My friend told me that apple fixed the problems, but I read a thing or two here about people having trouble with it.
    So I guess the question I'm building up to is, should I still be on the catious side and not download the newer iTunes, or is the newer iTunes ok?
    Me being computer illiterate, I'm not too sure what my comps insides are running other than Windows XP home edition

    Downloading videos on 7.0.2 hasn't worked as well as everyone had hoped. I still can't get mine to work, but i do know a few people who haven't had trouble with the newer itunes.

  • Two separate questions about the new s3 update

    Okay, so I just recently updated my s3 and so far I love everything about it, very nice job. Just two things bother me about it (not sure if the second one has to do with the update or not)
    Firstly, when you receive a text message it pops up on your lock screen with about the first sentence of the message. Now that's a big problem for me, I enjoy my privacy, so if I'm texting someone, get up and leave me phone wherever I am at the time, someone could pick up my phone and instantly see who I'm talking to and what about without any type of security (I have the pin lock). If there is a way to disable it I cannot find it anywhere, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, any help would be appreciated.
    Secondly, when sent a picture message instead of the message itself from the person sending it I get a message from "Me" or my own phone number saying "You've got a new PIX or FLIX message! To see it, visit *insert the vzw site here*. When going to the site it asks me to sign up and sync my phone to the cloud, which I do not want at all. Is this something with my service or the new update? It's quite infuriating to be honest. If either of these is true, is there a way to disable this feature and continue receiving pictures/video messages "normally"? PS: Picture/Video messaging worked all normal before I updated.
    Thank you so much for any insight or help you can provide.

  • Dumb question about E messages generated in user exits called from dialogs

    After a user enters goods receipt info in MIGO and hits POST, there is a user exit (EXIT_SAPLIE01_007) which receives a copy of the goods receipt table (xmseg) from MIGO and lets you do whatever you want before the MIGO update task is called.  In other words, you're still in the MIGO dialog process.
    I have successfully used this exit before to pop an editable ALV that lets the user enter custom data per line item, and then store this data in memory so it can be accessed in MB_DOCUMENT_BADI or in the equivalent XMBC exit (enhancement MB_CF001).
    But here's my question.
    Suppose I generate an "E" message in EXIT_SAPLIE01_007. 
    Will this stop the MIGO "POST" so that the update task isn't called?
    And will the text of the "E" message be displayed at the bottom of the main MIGO screen (the one you hit "POST" from) ????

    Hi David,
    it seems that you will get it:
    E in Status bar
    +behaviour:     +
    PAI processing is terminated, and control returns to the current screen. All of the screen fields for which there is a FIELD or CHAIN statement are ready for input. The user must enter a new value. The system then restarts PAI processing for the screen using the new values. Error messages are not possible in POH or POV processing. Instead, a runtime error occurs.

  • A dumb question about kelvin and white balance in Lightroom

    I keep reading a high kelvin number is cooler and a low number is warmer, but in light room, in the develope module, the lower number ( 3500 ) is blue, and a higher number, (7000) is very yellow. What am I missing?

    Lee is essentially correct with his analysis but incorrect with the details. The Kelvin colour temperature scale is between Yellow and Blue, not Red and Blue as stated.
    There's a lot of confusion about this, with many digital photographers missing the significance of the difference between cyan and blue, magenta and red etc.
    To be fair, the printing industry has added to the confusion by traditionally calling printing inks Blue, Red and Yellow when they really are cyan, magenta and yellow.
    Even Adobe can get it wrong. In the initial Lightroom beta release, the temperature scale had the colours Cyan at one end and Yellow at the other. I suggested it be changed to Blue to make it correct and less confusing which thankfully was implemented in the next update.
    Despite decades of working with colour both in the darkroom and with Photoshop, I too struggle with the counter-intuitive approach of the colour temperature reading in Lightroom.
    Essentially, if you shoot in light that is too blue, then you need to add Yellow. So the Kelvin number displayed in Lightroom isn't the 'Mired' correction or the amount of Yellow added, but a readout of the scene's original colour temperature before the Yellow correction.
    This can be really useful. I use several different branded flash units with various reflectors and attachments. I recently ran a test, shooting a Macbeth colour checker with all the different combinations.
    I then used the White Balance Selector (dropper) on the neutral 5 patch and wrote down the resulting colour temperature.
    From that I could work out what filter corrections I needed to use on each flash and reflector to produce consistent daylight balance.
    Most flashes seem to be around 6000ºK but I had variation between 5200ºK & 6400ºK with the combinations.

  • A very dumb question about sharing preview in an iPad

    Hi, folks
    I have to share some content I have made in some iPad devices. I am taking about a dozen of people, some of whom I don't even know.
    To test all this, I have reloaded in Folio Builder the content with our shared user account (ie: not mine) and now I want to test this sharing with myself, to see that in my own account and my own iPad.
    However, I see that this seems not to be possible. As fas as I have been reading posts here and there, each user has to start session with that shared account and then download the folio. Afterwards, they can restart with their own account and still see the folio, as it has been downloaded to their devices...
    Is that right? I mean: is there no other way but sharing the account and password with every individual likely involved? That gives me the creeps, to be honest.
    Thanking you in advance for all your patience
    Gustavo (Posting from Madrid).

    Yes, Bob I thought that was the way
    But I am a bit dumb-stuck in this. The user... let's say [email protected] has shared it and I have received his e-mail in my iPad. I have my account, let's say [email protected]
    How do I see / download it in the iPad?
    I must be a bit overworked to see it, sorry if so.

    When you installed aur/virtualbox_bin, the following post-install message was displayed:
    Run "vbox_build_module" as root every time your kernel is upgraded, to compile the module for the new kernel version.
    You can confirm this by checking your pacman log and/or by reading /var/lib/pacman/local/virtualbox_bin-<version>/install.
