Extremely Basic Questions

So basic, theY wouldn't return in the search. I'm assuming the two slots on top of my 8330 near the mute button are the speaker openingss...and the small hole on the bottom, kinda off-center is the microphone opening. Please lemme know if I'm wrong!
On the back of the phone below the camera lens...what is the silver square?

I believe the silver square is a tiny mirror for taking self portraits...sounds weird but its true.....

Extremely basic question

i'm not clear what apple tv is. how is it different than having a tv that can access netflix and the internet? or is it different than that?

think of the ATV as an extension of your iTunes library. it brings your media (movies, tv shows, music etc.) to your HDTV.
plus, as Chenks pointed out, it gives you access to certain content on the iTunes store and Internet.

Basic question: Is flat-screen TV + HDMI same as giant monitor on Mac Mini?

This must be an extremely basic question, though I don't see an answer in the Mac Mini FAQs or some initial searches here, so:
I just got a 40" flat-screen TV (1080). If I also get a Mac Mini with HDMI, and if I can avoid the miscellaneous display troubles that I see in posts here, will that TV act the same as a giant computer monitor? Or will it in some way remain inferior (in appearance, performance, etc.) to a dedicated computer monitor? (If so, how and why?)
Thanks much! I'm really curious about this.

Jev, when a DVI adaptor is connected from a computer to a HDMI port, the LCD steps down to emit a DVI signal and correspondingly when a MDP adaptor is connected to a HDMI port, the LCD steps down to emit a HDMI signal.
I have an EX55 Bravia connected MDP to HDMI from a 2009 Mini. The resolution and screen real-estate are perfect but not before I set Cinema at Scenes and Graphics at Video on the LCD and checked Font Smoothing at System Preferences. I can’t remember the font size I capped. The EX emits a HDMI signal. Cinema is great but Graphics are a tad sharp.
On the same floor I run a V40 Bravia connected DVI to HDMI from a 2008 Mini. Graphics is wonderful just like a large monitor without tweaking either the LCD or Mini. Here the V40 emits a DVI signal. Understandably Cinema is not as sharp but Graphics is great.
In essence your TV does not require a DVI input to emit a DVI signal.
Keep us posted.

Extremely basic 802.11n questions

I just replaced an older AirPort hub with a Time Capsule, and I'm puzzled about the status of 802.11n networking.
I only connect wirelessly to the Time Capsule with two core2duo machines (a MacBook and a MacBook Pro). The one older machine in the house with a pre-extreme AirPort card, a G5 iMac, is connected directly via ethernet. I had been under the impression that the MacBooks needed to be enabled for 802.11n use, but the Time Capsule disk does not appear to contain the 802.11n enabler (although this IS referenced in the opening ReadMe). Is there an enabler somewhere that I need to apply to these two machines? Is this automatically part of Leopard (as some things I've read have implied) or of something else? How can I determine that the machines really are enabled for 802.11n use?
And then, how do I determine whether the network is actually running at 802.11n speed (and range)? My understanding is that connecting any non-n device (presumably including my iPhone) to the network will cause it to revert to b/g; how do I determine that this has happened? And does it revert back to n immediately after the non-n device disconnects?
Thanks for any information, or for pointers to something more comprehensive on this than what I've found so far.

James A. Weston wrote:
I don't know how to test the so-called "speed" of a wireless network other than to use a stopwatch, but my understanding is that a mixed n/g/b network is only slowed down when a b or g client is actually using the network.
And one g client using the network would slow down n-client users but not all the way down to g speeds. In other words, the n network does not revert to a g network.
Assuming your understanding is correct, that answers the basic question I was asking. It also suggests that there's no reason for me to carefully turn off wireless networking on my iPhone whenever I'm home: it won't slow down network backups to Time Capsule unless I'm actually doing something significant on it.
Thanks.

Basic Questions from Prospective Lion Server Switcher

I have five servers I am running right now using Windows 2003 Server and various 3rd party packages.     Several years ago I became a Mac fan, moved all of my client based stuff to Mac, and now want to start moving my server based equipment to the OSX platform.
I stopped by my local Apple Store, and they had a version of OSX Lion Server running on a MacMini, but couldn't seem to answer the most basic of questions because as their business people stated "We are not Server Certified" ... they recommended I talk to an outside consultant to get these basic questions answered which seems a little extreme.
So I'm hoping the group can help.
(1) I read through most of the Lion Server Advanced Administrative manual.    Lion server appears from the manual to do most of what I need.   However, when I tried doing some of the functions in the manual on the demo Lion Server at the Apple Store, many of the functions I wanted to do did not seemed to either be installed, or their were buttons missing in the Server App.     I do not know if this was a permission level problem, because the account I setup for myself had administrative rights.
(2) In the mail app, it only appeared you could setup one mail domain.    It appeared you could setup virtual domains and users through the user app, but not through the mail domain itself?
(3) I could not find any where to enable DNS services.    The manual seems pretty straight forward in turning on DNS, but the Lion Server I saw had no DNS services running, or any way to enable them?
(4) Same for mailman listserv type function ... manual seems to be straight forward on enabling under the mail server, but again, no signs of the settings or enabling under the mail service.
(5) Under the mail app, didn't find any way to setup alternative SMTP ports ( I allow now Port 26 besides the standard Port 25 and SSL ports for my users.) ... I find port 26 gets past most firewalls at hotels etc.      Didn't see any way to control SMTP authentification too.
(6) Under the Lion Server tech description, it talk about a built in web editor, saw nothing of the kind.
So did the apple store have a limited install or am I missing something that the lion server manual does not match the capabilities of lion server.
Love to get a straight answer before purchasing hardware to replace 5 present machines.
Thank you.
David

Thanks for quick response.   Indeed, in hindsight, it appears that they had only installed the Server App, but not the Server Admin tools.
Unfortunately, I am not a system admin, but I played one on TV <grin>
All kidding aside ... I'm willing to learn, but would need most of the basics controlled through the GUI ... and then feel comfortable reading up and editting configuration files and running commands from the Terminal.
On this line, is there good documentation of this, or is this something that you know because you are familiar with Unix?    ie something like the alternate port issue ... is this something in the GUI, or something I would have to edit via Terminal?
Just trying to make an informed decision before jumping platforms.
Thanks
David

Novice with a 3 basic questions

Hi, I just got done ripping a hundred or so of my cds to itunes (to put on an ipod I will be buying soon). I have two basic questions:
1)does it matter which rate I ripped them at? I did it at 320 but its eating up memory like nobody's business. If I rip at 192 is the sound quality noticably different?
2) if 192 will work is there anyway to convert the albums I've already ripped at 320 to 192 or will I have to rerip them?
3) I want to have about 700 albums on my ipod. Does anyone know generally how big an ipod I should get for that?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Hi, I just got done ripping a hundred or so of my cds to itunes (to put on an ipod I will be buying soon). I have two basic questions:
1)does it matter which rate I ripped them at? I did it at 320 but its eating up memory like nobody's business. If I rip at 192 is the sound quality noticably different?
1) It does matter what rate you rip them at. There are several things that ripping at a higher kbps will do - as you said, it will eat up storage like nobody's business, and it will also eat up battery life. This is because at a higher kbps, the songs take up more space. Therefore, more space=more searching/buffering for the Ipod, and shorter battery life. The sound quality will only be noticable if you have an extremely high fidelity system that you are playing it through. Using headphones, there is not that much of an audible difference, at least not to me. Use the 192 setting - that is what I ripped mine at and they sound great.
2) if 192 will work is there anyway to convert the albums I've already ripped at 320 to 192 or will I have to rerip them?
2) I am personally not aware of a feature that will allow you to do this, but as you can see, this is my first post and I have only had Ipod for about a week. I do not believe that you can do this; I think you need to re-rip them.
3) I want to have about 700 albums on my ipod. Does anyone know generally how big an ipod I should get for that?
3) For 192 kbps and 700 albums (averaging about 15 songs) you will definately need the 60 Gig Ipod. I have the 30 Gig and have about 200 and it is almost half full, so about 400 give or take on the 60 Gig.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

Extremely dumb question

Hi,
          This is really basics, but...
          Replicated JNDI is the most obvious answer to the following questions,
          but considering that bindings are removed on a failure of the host, it
          doesn't really work for failover.
          Let say I have a stateless bean that provides a description of the
          capabilities of a service implemented by the server application.
          Doesn't really matter. Importantly, it is not related to any
          particular session. A requirement states that the bean must not be
          created till the first request to functions it provides is issued. So,
          pre-instantiating it by the start-up classes is discouraged.
          Where should I keep the reference to the stub after the bean is
          created by the front-end servlet, so that it would survive failover
          and would be available to all the servers in a cluster? Servers are
          brought into the cluster dynamically over a period of time.
          A similar question. Let say a user object is an application-wide
          resource. Where do I keep it, so that it would survive a failover?
          Thanx

AIRPORT 101 - Basic Question.

hope you don't mind my asking this basic question. i want to place my g5 in my basement for music recording but there are no cable hookups for my road runner connection. i have a crappy older imac upstairs which can be connected to road runner. how can i get my g5 up and running online? airport? which one do i need? just looking for the most simple and affordable route. thanks, Scott

If your crappy Mac has an Airport card you could do it with Internet Sharing.
An Airport Express will do instead or an Airport Extreme to run both on the Internet.

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Pl/sql vs sql basic question

Hi,
I have a very very basic question, so excuse me for that... I just would like to know the difference ( and the difference in usage) between sql and pl/sql?
thank you
Yann

SQL - the structured query language - is the language available for extracting data from the database. It is a 4GL, and each command stands alone and performs a database action.
PL/SQL is the 3GL primarily intended to control the flow of a series of SQL commands. PL/SQL does not, in any way, interact with the data in the database. It does, however, allow SQL statements to be called, or even created, in a specific order.
SQL is capable of a LOT more than people usually realize. Unfortunate, as people often create PL/SQL programs when single SQL statements will do the job. I encourage reading the O'Reilly 'Mastering Oracle SQL' book ... only after fiunishing that book do I recommend any of Feuerstein's excellent PL/SQL books.

Basic questions on data modeling

Hi experts,
I have some basic questions regarding data modeling within MDM. I understand the available table types and the concept of lookup fields. I know that the MDM data modeling concept is different to the relational concept. But having a strong database background my first step was to design a relational data model which I would like to transfer to a MDM repository. Unfortunately I didn't found good information material on this. So here are some questions maybe you can help me:
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
Thank you for your answers.
Regards, bd

Yes you are correct. It is almost difficult to map relational database to mdm one. But again MDM is not 'just' a database. It holds much more 'master' information as compared to any relational db.
1) Is it the right approach to model n:m relationships with multivalued lookup fields? E.g. main table Users with lookup field from subtable SapAccounts (a user can have accounts in different SAP systems, that means more than one account).
Yes Here you need to use MV look up tables or can also try Qualifier tables if it gets more complex
2) Has a record always be unique in MDM repositories (e.g. should we use Auto ID's in every table or do we have to mark a combination of fields as unique)? Is a composite key of 2 or more fields represented with marking these fields as unique?
Concept of uniqueness differs here that you also have something called Display Fields (DF). A combination of DF can also be treated as Unique one. For instance while importing records if you select these DF as a combination, you will eliminate any possible of duplicates based on this combination. Auto Id is one of the ways to have a unique id once record is within MDM. While you use UF or DF to eliminate any possible duplicates at import level
3) The concept of relationships in MDM is only based on relationships between single records (not valid for all records in a table)? Is it necessary to define all relationships similar to the relational data model in MDM? Is there something similar to referential integrity in MDM?
Hmm... good one. Referencial Integrity. What I assume you are talking is that if you have relationships between tables then removing a record will not be possible as it is a foreign key for some record. Here MDM does not allow that. As Relationships within MDM are physical and not conceptual. For instance material can have components. Now if material does not exist then any relationship to components is not worthwile to maintain. Hence relationshsip is eliminated. While in relational model relationships are more conceptual. Hence with MDM usage of lookups and main table you do not need to maintain these kind of relationships on your own.
4) Is it possible to change the main table to a sub table later on if we realize that it has also to be used as a lookup table for another table (when extending the data model) or do we have to create a new repository from scratch?
No. It is not possible to convert main table. There is only one main table and it cannot be changed.
I went for the same option but it did not work. What I suggest is to look up your legacy system one by one and see what fields in general can be classified as Master, Reference, Transactional - You will start getting answers immediately.

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question

If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on the computer that will install it, will my WIFI still work on the computer that cannot be upgraded? I know this is a very basic question. Trying to hold out as long as I can, but purchasing an iPhone for Christmas and new iMac next year when warrently expires.

Thank U very much for the quick reply, I wanted to upgrade this weekend, but still on the fence. I can live with the software that is not compatible, they are on another compuetr, just didn't want the obvious stuff to stop working.
