Easiest way to get patches

A couple of years ago we started using Solaris 11/06. We were able to fairly easily setup smpatch and perform the patches. For a while it worked beautifully.
Now, everytime we setup a new server, the patching seems to be harder to implement. Right now I am again unable to get patches via smpatch, and I quite honestly frustrated beyond belief. I can't even register the system at this point, and I'm using credentials that are being used by our other systems that do manage to work correctly.
I've spent hours manually adding patches and packages, restarting different services, trying to register with sconadm again and again, logging in to sunsolve.sun.com to approve a new agreement with oracle, checking java versions, checking to make sure different packages are installed, only to have it fail again, this time with a more obscure message. I tried pca. It won't download anything. Everything comes back 403. I again checked the credentials. They still match other servers currently able to receive patches.
What is the easiest way to get patches to a Solaris 10 11/06 server without having to spend hours manually resolving dependencies (which I thought smpatch was supposed to solve but doesn't appear to work reliably).
I just need something I can run that will figure out what is on the server, what it needs, and then download and install them.

It has happened in the past that SunSolve "forgets" about connected contracts, but I've never received a report that pca works on one system and returns 403's on another when the same SOA is used.
Anyway - this isn't the forum for PCA, I recommend subscribing to its mailing list if you want follow this route further.

What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.

Mr. Clark,
You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
Does your Print dialog look like this:
Or like this:
If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

iMac G5 - you are at the end of the line, though you may be able to upgrade your RAM, or hard drive.
iMac CoreSolo, CoreDuo - you can upgrade to 1 GB of RAM or 2 GB of RAM and get up to 10.6.8.
iMac Core2Duo - you can upgrade to 2 GB of RAM or more and get up to 10.7.2.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which Mac model you have.
Here's what you have to watch out for on 10.6 to 10.6.8.
Here's what you need to watch out for on 10.7 to 10.7.2.
Some stores may not have 10.6 installer CD available, or may not have 10.7 Flash drive available. For those you have to make the purchase from elsewhere,
and bring it in to the store with you. http://www.apple.com/retail has phone numbers for all their stores, and extension 5 often will get you a real person at the store, though if yuo don't get it, you might try a different extension.

What is the easiest way to get music into itunes library?

Hey everyone, what is the easiest way to get my songs into itunes without importing them one by one. For example, if you download several songs with Limewire is there a way to make them automatically download into Itunes or do you have to add file or import them manually. I tried to be slick and change the folder that the limewire was saving songs into to make it the same as the itunes library folder. I didn't do something right apparently cause I still have to either add file or import to get the songs. I wish there was a way to just auto download them into the itunes or scan the computer for new songs.

Does this software do what you want?

Easiest way to get rid of duplicates & make sure none of them are !

Ok I have some duplicates through out iTunes.
Whats the easiest way to get rid of all of the duplicates?
I also want to make sure there are no ! in my iTunes, so how do I make sure if there are two files I am deleting the ! if there happens to be one & not the actual full file?
I may have a mixture of legit duplicates & some duplicates with just the ! associated with the 2nd file.

The second part of the question is best tackled first...
*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s really slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
Once you've got rid of any redundant ! entries (and recovered any "lost" files) then you can either remove duplicates manually using the *Show Duplicates* feature and removing all but one of each repeated track, or alternatively look for a tool to to this automatically. Teridon's itunesremoveduplicates is one, but I can't say I've tested it personally and from the decription might only remove multiple entries to the same physical file. I'm sure there are others out there...

Easiest way to get to the next photo in Elements?

What is the easiest way to get to the next photo that I want to edit in Elements?
Let's say I have a folder that has 10 photos in it. And I want to edit each of them individually.
I open the first photo, edit it. Now, is there an easy way to open the second photo?
Right now, the only way I see to do it is to minimize Elements, find the original folder again, right click on the photo and click on "Open with" and choose Elements from the drop down list.
There's got to be an easier way.
Michael

Drag all ten to the Editor window and they will sit in the Photo Bin
Select all ten in the Organizer. In the Editor Photo Bin options select 'Show Files selected in Organizer'.

Cheapest way to get patches

I am about to leave my employment, but I want to still be able to get patches for Oracle 11g on Linux at home.
I don't want to pay too much for it, though!
Am I correct to think that a single-year, 1 Named User Plus purchase of Oracle Personal Edition is the cheapest way to continue to get patches for Oracle-on-Linux, pretty much as I would in a commercial environment?
Secondary question: the Oracle Store lists that personal edition at (for example) $100 per Named User Plus but then adds on another $120 for "Cost of first year support". Am I right to think that next year I would only be charged $120 (or whatever it may have increased to by then)? In other words, if I pay $220 today, next year, I'll only have to pay the support component?

Easiest way to get music from iPod to MacBook

I am trying to switch everything from my PC to my MacBook and was wondering if there is an app or something I can use to transfer all my music from my iPod to my Mac so I don't have to make a half dozen DVDs to transfer them.

Easiest way would be to use an external hard drive. Do you have another iPod besides the iPhone that can be used as an external hard drive? How big is your library?
If you want to transfer from the iPod to the new computer the harder way...

Easiest way to get my Gmail?

As I stated in an earlier thread, the pushed gmail via Google Sync, isn't coming lately (unresolved issue) so my question is what is the easiest, least troubling way to get my gmail on the iPhone?
-IMAP? (This isn't a "push" correct?)
-Google Mail App (visiting the gmail webpage)
-Google Sync (Hasn't been working for the past couple of days)
-Forwarding through MobileMe (Free trial now)
Thanks for any suggestions, this is frustrating as the Google Sync has worked perfectly for the past month. Coming from a RIMM Device I enjoyed recieving my pushed email without issues.

I have been using the IMAP option for gMail since they offered it. Never had issues. Yes isn't 100% instant but never have I had the need to respond to an email within 15 mins of a person sending it so I am fine with it fetching every 15 mins.
I keep hearing of issues using the Exchange (push) version and even Google labels that way as Beta as they are faking how it is done on their end to mimic Exchange.
Now I do use the Exchange way for Contacts and Calendar (they offered those two first before adding on email option). Never had issue with Contacts and Calendar.

What is the best and easiest way to get xml data into the rtf document

Hello Frenz
I'm using rtf document(with bi publisher desktop plug in installed in the word document)... please suggest me the best way(to get the xml data from tables) to load the xml data into this rtf document..
I'm not developing oracle apps reports. It is for Oracle retail...
another doubt is... in the rtf document itself there is oracle bi publisher.. can it be used for generating xml data...
please bear with me and suggest me a way out
Thanks and regards

What will you be using in your production system to generate XML? Or are you just trying out BIP?
If you're familiar with dbms_xmlquery.getxml , you can pass your SQL to generate the XML output. Save the output in a file and use it in your RTF template.
If you have Oracle reports, you can create XML output when you run the report.
