Few more questions (sorry I'm new)

Let me just say you guys are amazing, this entire community and how you support eachother... Ive strolled through just about every post in rebuilding section for the most recent 20 pages and must say, everyone here is absolutely glorious. However I have a few questions about my own personal roadmap if anyone could provide insight Im not a complete noob but so far Ive just been reading, taken no action except paying full without getting anything. I have a ClosedOut account with CITI, should be paid in full today or tommorow or whenever the check clears. CAgency was working I assume on behalf of CITI because both checks were made for full amount to CITI and balance was the balance. I had perfect payment for 2.5 years, the was delinquent for 8 months, paid in full 4.1k in two installments. When is it not greedy to ask CITI for some love and peace and kindness with a GW letter? I have valid reason as to why I stopped (2 car accidents april, july) and why I paid them back (accident settlement)How likely are they to help me out? I can provide them anything their heart desires with regards to documentation - medical, college, police reports, absolutely anything. I was making maybe $300 a month during that time and literally borrowed $33 from my neighbor to buy gas. Paying them seemed so huge at the time I just closed my eyes.I also have a natural gas account on my report that is negative in this manner: JUL-OK__AUG-OK__SEPT-ND__OCT-120Is this possible to be real? 120 is 4 monthsIf I still dont believe you, who do I call first, gas company or experian?If I call gas company, do I say youre wrong give me statements or do I nicely ask them to change it off the bat without disputingIf they give me statements and they are in fact wrong, do I call back or write a letter? Certified or no? Do I send said statements to bureaus? When? Finally, was it a mistake to take out and pay off a Discover student loan in two years? It was for 4k and I applied again and was denied.. Did they not make enough to bother with me? I sent them a recon letter, saying Im loyal please love me. Hope to hear back because loved them much more than Sallie. Any insight as to where I should have sent such letter (email)? I sent it to application status questions on their site.. Thoughts/suggestions?

yes i would start with the gw letters now. explain about the accidents and let them know that you were perfect till that point. in my experience sometimes one gw letter will do it and others you send once a month. As far as the gas company goes, yes I would call them and ask to see the statements if you dont have any. If they are indeed wrong I would ask them to correct it. Do you still have service with them? If you do then I would think that they would be wrong otherwise i'm sure that they would not still be providing this service. If not yes I would dispute it with the cb.I know nothing about Discover student loans so I will let someone else get to that one. Overall it is nice to have one installment loan going on. When you paid it off you probably had a small drop in your fico score.

A few more questions about batteries

Hi folks, new here.
1. According to www.apple.com/batteries, we don't have to worry about this Nickel-based batteries stuff when charging (cause iPods are Lithium-based). If so, do I really need to charge for 4 hours the first time? Why?
2. I've had to reboot my computer the first time Shuffle was charging, meaning the charge has been interrupted a few times. Does this affect my battery life?
3. After 2 hours of first charge, the front light turned green. One minute later, I've had to reboot again. After that, the front light turned back to solid amber, only turning green again 1.5 hour later. Can someone please explain that?
Very happy with my Shuffle. And congratulations for the quality of the forum.
Thanks.

Leo,
I am not really sure about first-time charge. Mine was interrupt when charged at the first time too, and nothing seems wrong up to date.
Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at anytime, on any duration. It does not matter if you charge it only 5 minutes, then use it for some hours, and charge again. You can safely reboot your computer while charging.
When you plug-in iPod again (ie. reboot your computer) after it was fully charged, it is normal that it would continue to charge for an hour or so even it's just been fully charged. See a chart in www.apple.com/batteries. It tells you that it takes long time to fully charge the battery when the battery itself is almost full already.
Hope this help.

Another noob question - Sorry; I'm new to this - Windows and Xserve

Are Windows machines supported on networks powered by Xserve? Powered? You know what I mean.

Hi
I think I know what you mean? However:
+"networks powered by Xserve?"+
Makes no real sense? An XServe is dedicated Server hardware. What makes it a server more than anything else is the Software installed - OSX Server. Perhaps your question should be: "Does OSX Server/XServe support PC Clients?" The answer is yes. Samba/CIFS/NT Services have been available on all versions of Apple Server OS going right back to IP Manager. If you want to go beyond this and ask the question: "Does OSX Server behave just like Active Directory?" The answer is not really. It can provide Network based Profiles but that's about it as there is nothing built-in that resembles Global Policy Objects (GPOs). OSX Server can and does provide DHCP and DNS Services along with a host of other Services mostly specific to the Apple platform but not exclusively so.
To begin to understand what OSX Server is capable of:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology/
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/
You could also have a stab at the host of Admin Manuals that Apple make available:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macosxserver
Ultimately a better question might be: "What is OSX Server going to give you that you're not going to get from an equivalent Windows Server?" If your focus is providing/maintaining front-line core services for a pre-dominantly Windows PCs environment then purchasing a platform that is designed to support a different client OS is probably the wrong way to go?

A few more questions regarding creation of recovery discs

HP Pavilon 17 Notebook 17-e040us
Wireless connection
In the creating covery discs information that I downloaded from HP's website, it states"if you are prompted for an Administrator password, type the password or providide confirmation.
How do I create an adminstrator password? The only areas where I have created passwords on the laptop are the Login Screen/Signing In to PC, Mirosoft Account and Computers Description. How do I provide confirmation?
Disconnecting from the internet. After the login screen and go to the start menu I'm not connected to the internet. Correct?
Do I have to disconnect exterior equipment from the laptop before creating recovery discs?
During the creating process, if it should stop or ,get a message something is wrong, what do I do?
Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You aren't likely to be asked for Admin password unless you are using a User account created with Limited permissions-such as one would set up for another user on their machine.Some people share a machine with kids,teens and setup a Limited account for them.
I have never really worried about disconnecting from Internet -just don't have Internet Explorer or Email app open and active on internet.You could always turn off the Wireless I guess. Usually the F12 key in top row turns wieless off/on by tapping. White light=On.
If you run into a problem...just post that problem if the Recovery Manager doesn't give details of what you need to do to correct it. You can always phone HP and request Recovery Media if the process fails for you.
Just try to stop worrying and over-thinking it.Go for it!

A few more questions on upgrading OS

Well, I'm trying to be proactive before I try to upgrade my current mini from tiger to snow leopard os.
So far, I've
purchased the box set
purchased the external hard drive
downloaded carbon copy app
learned how to do a back up and reboot and run from it to ensure it's all there before installing new os
What I don't know is:
What do I do after Snow Leopard is on the mini, but all my old data is on the external hard drive?
I want to go into this whole process with my eyes wide open!
Thanks!

Marcelo,
I assumed I'd be backing up my entire hard drive - in other words everything. The only external things I have would probably be downloaded games. Other than that it's Office, iphoto, iweb, itunes that came on the computer when I bought it in 96.
Just wondering how I get my old iphoto library into the new iphoto library, is it just a click and drag? or after installing new os will it prompt me for this kind of data transfer?
I assumed I'd be emptying the hard drive after the install. Hadn't planned on continually pulling from it.

Schultz...just a few more questions while i am here..

How does one obtain a startup disc/recovery disc..I did not make one when I first purchased my laptop...Live and learn huh? thanks again...schultz

You have to create a set of recovery disks from the hidden recovery partition by using the Recovery Disk Creator. Go to "Start - All Programs - Toshiba - Recovery - Recovery Disk Creator". Information on using the Hard Drive Based Recovery Process and creating the disks normally begins on or about page 58 to 60 of your User's Guide. The User's Guide is found on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format and can be downloaded from the Product Support Link at the top of this page.
If you didn't make them and can not do so now you'll need to purchase a replacement set as per this post.

What does In/out of holster mean!?
and why is sometimes, my screen lovely and bright, but normally dull!?!?!? then randomly it will go very bright!
Please help!
Thanks

When you purchased your BB, it should have come with a leather type holster, in which there is a magnet that will shut down the screen of the BB when it is inserted in the holster, to cause a Standby condition of the BlackBerry.
So, you can set thet Profile settings of your BB to act different IN holster and OUT of holster. Say, IN your holster on your hip, you might want VERY LOUD volume ringtone settings, and OUT of the holster when sitting on your desk, you might set quieter volume for the ringtones.

A few more Solaris questions

I'm sure this isn't the best place to post this, but I currently have a file server running Solaris 11 with a raid-z2 pool and I'm building a new vmware server out of some parts I've managed to get some good deals on might I add.
I'm building on a supermicro x8dt3-f board that has an LSI controller on board with a pair of xeon 5570's and 48gb ram. The processors and ram actually came from a sun blade that was tossed out for recycling, sadly the box had never been opened, but i got these for pennies on the dollar, so i'm happy
I'd like to move the current Solaris file server into a VM on the new ESXi 5.1 host and passthrough the LSI controller.
I've been reading, and reading and reading and i find the more i read, the more questions I have and the less clear some of the answers are getting.
First, from what I gather, Solaris 11 has only been added to the supported guest list in ESXi with the recent esxi 5.1 version as I understand? So all should be fine here? Can someone confirm?
second, i've read about issues with LSI controllers under solaris 11. Is this something that has been addressed in 11.1?
Third, trying to find the best method to conver the physical system to virtual under ESXi
The first thing I plan on doing is backing up my data from the pool, though it will be scattered across a few systems. Then I plan on exporting the pool to move the disks physically to the new controller in the VM. The question I have here, is will the share flags and permissions be retained when I import the pool? or do I have to redo all that?
But then, what's the best method to move it to a VM? The one document I see come up the most is moving a physical solaris system into a zone on another system. Can it be transferred to the global zone? Could I do a new install in a VM, and move the existing install to the global zone, import my pool and call it a daY?
Or do I dd the OS disk, convert the image and drop it into vmware, get the hardware working, and then import the pool?
Or is there a better way? Has anyone got any online docs in mind that may help specifically with this migration? everything i'm finding is scattered, maybe i'm not looking for the right things but I could use some pointers if anyone has suggestions.
I suppose I should note, i have it integrated with an Active directory, this is why i'm worried about permissions being retained when i import the pool
I just want this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, with as little headache as possible. it's my home setup, so realistically it takes the time it takes as long as things go smooth

I know this may not be the answer you are looking for, but I think you are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
One other option is to leave your Solaris Storage server on the bare metal of this new beast of a machine you are piecing together. Then, use VirtualBox 4.2.6 which is support quite well in Solaris to run whatever virtual machines you where intending ESXi to be used for.
This way you have the fastest possible storage setup without the issues of hardware passthrough. And the fast storage now benefits the VMs running on it. Not to mention the other neat options now of running lzjb compression for the VMs. either using zvols for the VMs, or just virtualbox vdi files sitting on a compressed zfs filesystem.
As far as the LSI 1068E controller goes, their website only shows drivers for Solaris 10. So unless Solaris 11 has the drivers built in, you may not be able to use that controller. Believe me I feel your pain in this one.. I have the d#$$!est time finding good SAS HBAs for Solaris 11.1 and the few I did find had questionable drivers. Areca 1320 cards seem to work well, as do Adaptec 64xx and 68xx raid cards. LSI has a new line that supposedly works with Solaris 11.
My advice is to try a baremetal install of Solaris 11.1 on the new machine and see if you can recognize drives on the LSI controller, if not then use the 6 onboard SATA ports if that is enough for the drives. Otherwise purchase an Areca 1320 which is only like 230 bucks for the 8 port version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151116R

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

A few quick questions about my new MP3 pla

Ok, I like to get to know anything I buy so I decided to come here and ask, I hope you dont mind answering (My MP3 player is the MuVo c00):
) In the instruction manual it says that play WMA file reduce the battery life of your player. Since converting them reduces the size by a fair bit I was wondering if the reduced battery life was worth it and how much it reduces the battery life.
2) When is a good time to replace the bettery in my player? Should I wait for it to completly die or what because I dont want to go replacing batteries 3 quarters full.
3) Is there any sound or quality differences between MP3 format and WMA?
4) Is the program that came with the player the best thing to add music with or would buying something else do the trick or even just copy and paste?
5) Finally, how do you attach the neck strap? I dont see any place where it could go unless you have to attach it with the arm band on it.
Thanks for your help and I might have some more question but untill further notice this is all I have and again thaks for your time.

. You have to bear in mind this is for an equivalent MP3 e.g. a 28 kbit/s encoded WMA is going to use more power than a 28 kbit/s MP3. Normally WMAs are encoded at a lower rate anyway, hence will use less power. There are many factors that affect battery usage.
2. Wait for it to go flat.
3. Complex answer. In general WMA is used when you want more space and aren't so worried about quality, at the 64 - 28 kbit/s range. MP3s (using the LAME encoder) are better at the higher bit-rates of 92 kbit/s. The bottom line is try a few different bit-rates for both MP3 and WMA, take a listen, and decide for yourself.
4. With the MuVo it's very easy, just use Windows Explorer to copy files. I wouldn't buy any other software, unless you find something you really like to create MP3/WMA files.
5. Not sure on this one...

WLC to use Management Interface & Few more getting started Questions

Hello,
I'm yet to implement the Wireless LAN in one of our client's corporate office. There 40 x 1130AG LWAPP AP's and 4404 WLC with ACS 4.x for the Authentication of the Wireless Clients who is trying to access the LAN.
For the WLC to connect to the Dual Core Switch, i need to use only one Management Interface with Distribution System port 1 being the Primary and mapping the DS Port 2 as the Backup port for the Management Interface. Is this Right? or do i have configure Dynamic Interfaces as well. Is management interface for accessing / management and configuration only? Management Interface will communicate with ACS for AAA and AP's who would like to associate with the WLC, is this Right?
Note: WLC, AP's, Wireless Clients & AP's are in the same IP Subnet.
Few other question of WLAN's so it helps me during implementation -
â¢ Can I use the 802.1x Authentication application found in the Windows XP for the Wireless Interface; instead of Cisco Client Application. For this; I have to configure the WLC / Wireless Client to use EAP algorithm; is this Right?
â¢ With the help of RRM, the channel interference between multiple AP's (3 - 4 AP's) in the same area is controlled by the WLC by changing the Channels used by the AP which is not same on all the AP's. Is this right?
â¢ How many Client Users will connect per Channels. 802.11 a / g will provide 11 Channels, is this Right?.
â¢ I'm trying to set in the WLC to limit the Client connections per AP to 25, can this be achieved?
Please, can anyone help me in calrifying the above points.
Regards,
Keshava Raju

Many Thanks Mr. Dennis for your help & Clarification.
With ref to your reply point no# 1. I have actually planned to connect one Gig port of the controller to each of the Dual Cisco Core Switch setup. Can i use all 4 Controller Interfaces configured as LAG and Port 1 & 2 connecting to Core Switch 01 and Port 3 & 4 connecting to Core Switch 02?
I have Final two more questions, Request you to help me calrifying this?
â¢ I'm willing to configure Multicast communication between the WLC & AP's. For this configuration is it necessary to Connect the WLC in a different VLAN than the VLAN of the AP's. Is it necessary that I have to set the controller to LWAPP Layer 3 mode to support the Multicast communication?
â¢ Though I do not have implementation experience of the WLAN. My understanding of the Interface settings on the WLC - is I will have to configure one Management Interface for in-band management. Do I have to configure AP-Manager Interface (to support Multicast communication) and to make the WLC to communicate with ACS for Client Authentication. All of the Wireless Devices including the ACS are in one VLAN / IP Subnet, is only one Management Interface is enough for communicating with AP's (with Multicast) and communicating with ACS for forwarding the Authentication messages between the ACS & Wireless Clients?

I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

Got a few problems/questions

first, i can't buy apps. i'm with bell, and i can't buy an app for my bb style or the pb. i'm trying to use paypal but i get an error message saying it exceeds my modile spending limit. on the style i get an error number and sorry but try later. does anyone have experience with this?
second, is there going to be a universal search on the pb?
third, i'm looking for a waterproof camera that supports eye-fi (a wi-fi sd card for cameras that doesn't need mi-fi to transfer to android or apple) and can be charged via usb so that i can charge it and the pb with a usb solar panel or crank charger (ya, they put out 5V x 2.1A) while camping and transfer media to the pb for editing without internet... pending the release of a few more apps. any suggestions? (yes it's a very long trip, and no, i'm not returning to my own comp, i want to rely on the pb to update people. i'm also not a big fan of uploading every raw video i have to youtube for editing with my phone, since i currently use an olympus tough 3000 + tripod and a 16g micro sd and have had to do that already)

The first problem seems to me to be due to a problem with your PayPal account, especially since its affecting both devices. Check your PayPal account settings, or try creating a new PayPal account altogether. Of course the alternative is to try paying directly with a credit card as you should have that option.
Unfortunately, I'll be unable to help with the second part of your question, but hopefully someone else will be able to.
