Few small questions about locating Macbook air specification information

Hi
Sorry for silly questions but I'm a bit stuck after trying to find the answers myself...
1. I went to About this Mac > System Report > Hardware. I cannot find the RAM but does this fall under Memory?
2. I went to Finder, then Capacity is showing 121GB. Is the the correct location to check the size of the Hard Drive?
3. Where can I check if the hard drive is SSD or not or a SuperDrive?
4. I needed to find the Model Number which I couldn't find using 'System Report'. Can you please let me know for future reference where to Model Number on the actual machine? I did actually googled the serial number and found a website with the specification of the machine, but is this good practice and normal way of finding out this information?
Thank you in advance for your help.

1- Yes RAM falls under memory.
2- Right there, in the system report, look down in the list for Serial-ATA and you will see you hard drive specs.
3- Same as step 2, you will see something like "Model: APPLE SSD SM128C" depending on your drive's size.
4- Check this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3255

A lot of questions about my MacBook Air

I am really new to re-using Apple computers.The last time I used an Apple computer was back in 1987 when the school and my family had Apple IIGS computers. I have been using PC's which reqiure Microsoft. I a lot of have questions (10 questions) about my MacBook Air and I hope you good people can and will help me.
Product: MacBook Air
Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
1) I Downloaded MacKeeper because I was fooled. I had a bad feeling just before I Downloaded it and I should have listened to my heart. However, I didn't buy it or fully Install it. It was like a test run and then they wanted me to pay almost $100 for it. Thankfully, I didn't because I read it is Malware. I spoke with an Apple Tech at Apple Care and he helped me get rid of it (or so we think). I don't see it anymore on my computer. I read it can slow down your computer. How can you tell if it's really off of the computer?
2) When I open "Finder" and I see that there are people Sharing my computer with me. I went into AirDrop and it reads, "Other people can see your Mac as (my name) MacBook Air when their computer is nearby." I bought a HotSpot and while it's turned on and I selected it as my WI-FI connection I thought it would get rid of these people, protect what I type, me, my items, computer, etc. But it didn't.
I didn't know that I have to buy a exteral CD and/or DVD Player in order to connect to the brand new Modem and Router in one by NetGear. I am so used to PCs and the CD/DVD Players being built inside.
The people at Apple Store told me that there is an internal modem inside, but I don't know how to find it and what to do then. Should I use a Firewall?, An AntiVirus, AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, etc. Apple Care tech told me I don't need to get an AntiVirus.
3) Is there a new kind of Wireless Modem and Router that doesn't require a CD-ROM?
4) When I travel or fly and I am not close to home I was told by Best Buy and Sprint that I had to buy a mobile HotSpot to use the computer (WI-FI) safely. As I typed, I have one. But it's pretty expensive and only gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes per day to Stream. What can I do to use this computer safely Online when I am out of range from a Modem and Router? What do people do when they travel on airplanes?
5) This compter won't let me use "Raid." I think you have to have a newer version. I hard about Raid on the radio from Leo (can't recall his last name) who's a Tech expert.
6) Should I buy a ZipDrive? Apple Store Tech told me that I didn't need a ZipDrive. I just remember the episode of HBO's "Sex and The City" when Carrie looses everything because her copy crashed. Now, of course, I know that's a fictional show, but with PC's and Microsoft I have lost everything when it crashed, frooze up, etc. I know there's iClouds. I heard about Carbonite, but I have read the Pros and Cons about it. Mostly they are Cons about it. I just don't want to do anything wrong and mess up this computer.
7) Should I buy a new Printer/Copier/Scanner because mine is an HP. It's not new, but it works. I even have a CD-ROM for Macs. What about the new product called, "Neat"?
8) Is there a special product that I should buy to do Online Banking and/or other important stuff?
9) I saw and read about iWork in the Apps Store and it sounds cool. I still have alot of friends and colleagues who still use Microsoft. Is iWork good to use? Should I Download it from the Apple Apps Store or can a buy it at Apple? Is there another Word Processing Program that is great and user friendly and will work with Macs and PCs?
10) Should I Update the OS with OS X Mountian Lion Pro from the Apple Apps Store or buy it at Apple Store?
In advance, I wish to thank you in this Apple Support Communites for your help. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

1) Here are instructions for removing MacKeeper. Since it mostly consists of manually looking for folders and specific files, if you follow the instructions you either fail to find what you are told to find (because your AppleCare guide gave you complete instructions which you followed) or you'll find some additional files that need to be replaced.
2 & 3) I assume you are looking at the sidebar of a Finder window and seeing Shared and computers under it. Those are computers that you can potentionally share. To do so you'd need an account on their computer and a password. They are not sharing your computer.
AirDrop allows you to create an adhoc network for filesharing and it only functions when you have selected the AirDop item in the SideBar. Actually doing that merely announces to computers in the same network node that your computer is available for a file to be sent to. Even then you have to explicitly allow the file to be downloaded to your computer. Similarly you'd be able to see other computers with AirDrop selected and be able to send them a file - which they'd have to accept.
The only reason your NetGear Router comes with a CD is to install and run their 'easy' step by step configuration program. It can also be done manually with a browser. Read the manual to find the IP address you must enter to access the router's configuration menu. Apple's WiFi routers don't require a CD to install the software because the configuration software is already on your computer.
I do have my firewall turned on. AntiVirus software isn't a bad idea - I use Sophos having tested it for a review for our local User Group and I found I liked it better than ClamAVx which is what I'd been using before. Both are free.
4) I think you were scammed by Sprint and BestBuy. I use hotel, coffee shop, and restaurant WiFi spots and have for years. However, because they can be unsecured, I do not shop online or bank when I'm using them. I also use 1Password and don't reuse passwords so even if a sniffer should grab an account and password that's all it would get - one account.
5) Raid doesn't really make sense with a MacBook Air - a RAID involves 2 or more disks being used as if they were one.
6) Zip drive? No. External hard drive - yes. It isn't a question of if a computer's hard drive will malfunction, it is when. OWC has a nice selection of external drives and the Mac has a built in backup system called TimeMachine. Due to the way TimeMachine works, I've found that your TimeMachine drive should be at least twice as large - and preferably 3-4 times as large as the data you are backing up.
7) if your printer works and it has Mountain Lion drivers, why replace it?
8) Online banking is done with a browser - Use Safari or FireFox
9) If trading files with Windows users is important Mac: Office is your best bet. If not, iWork, Mac:Office, or LibreOffice are all good possibilities.
10) you can only buy Mt Lion via the App Store.

A few questions about the Macbook Air

Well I currently have a 2011 MacBook Pro which I love but it has definetely turned into my Desktop computer. I dont really ever even take it around my house but it is a major powerhouse.
Well even though the holdidays are 6 months away around that time I am either going to be in the market for either another iPad because I currently have the iPad 1 and will seel it or maybe a Macbook Air.
I mainly use my iPad for browsing the internet, going on forums, and checking email. The iPad gets really annoying if you are trying to type and mine is very slow.
Do you think that the Macbook Air would be over kill or would it fit perfectly. The only thing I cant justify about the Macbook Air is the price. I was thinking about going refurb but I dont know if that would be the smart thing to do.
Could anyone help me out with this issue.
Thanks

I think that this is such a personal preference issue, that any answers would simply be a "what would you do?" poll.
That you already have a MBP and an iPad, you already know the advantages and disavantages of both. The Air is going to be somthing that is, in a way, having some of the features of both. The Air, insasmuch as it is portable, somewhat like the iPad, but with OS X and a keyboard. You also don't like the cost of the Air.
I don't know that here is a reasonable answer, just for the reason that we don't know how much you get out of the iPad. Personally, I ditched my iPad after I got the 11" Air. I then more, or less gravitated to the 13" Air, and then ditched my MBP. For me, the 13" Air has then replaced them both.

NetStream.send() should usually be faster than NetGroup.post(), especially when using 1:1 NetStreams (vs Group NetStreams).
when groups are large, there's no passive way to tell when members join or leave. however, for small groups (less than about 15 members), they will be "fully meshed", meaning every member has a direct connection to every other member. when that's the case, you can see the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect/Disconnect events on a NetGroup. to receive those, you must create a NetGroup with the same groupspec as your NetStream and listen for NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS events.
your function "msg" must be a method on the subscribing NetStream's "client" object to receive NetStream.send()s from the publisher.
this is all generic ActionScript stuff. i don't know how to use Flash CS5 but this stuff should all be the same in Flash and Flash Builder.

Few basic questions about database administration

Hello,
I have a few basic questions about database administration.
1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

A few questions about my MacBook Pro?

Hey guys, I have a few questions about Virtual Machines and a few other random questions.
1. Which one is the most "complete" in its features when compared to a plain install of Win. 7?
2. Which VM should I purchase?
I have a 15" late 2012 MacBook Pro with a 2.6 ghz intel i7, 16gb ram and a 256gb SSD. (I was planning on running it off of an external hard drive— if that is possible)
3. I have 206.12 GB of 255.2 GB free— should I just use boot camp instead?
4. If I use Boot Camp, do I have to delete the data that's on my Mac currently to install Win. 7 or can I partition my current drive and keep my data?
5. What is the "other" data that's taking up 25.51 GB of space on my SSD? (I have the same problem on my iPhone, but that's a different problem.)
Thank you very much.

You posted your Boot Camp questions in the MacBook Pro forum. Try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

A Few Basic Questions About Random Shut Downs (RSD)

i think my month and a half old macbook has "RSD", its a white 13 inch which i bought refurbrished, Iv got a few questions about RSD and apple serice
First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it soemthing you really have no influence over?
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long might it take (it has to ship from new england if that means anything)?
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had problems?
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
and last should i expect to lose everything on the harddrive ifg i send it in?

First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it
soemthing you really have no influence over?
You can't avoid it. You can temporarily reduce it by:
1. Holding down the power button at startup until it beeps.
2. Setting your energy saver settings so it doesn't sleep.
But over time, even those strategies will fail to help.
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long
might it take (it has to ship from new england if
that means anything)?
I took mine to the Apple Store last Wednesday and it was overnighted to the repair center. It was delivered back to me the this Wednesday. So it took one week in my case. I know there are folks that sent theirs in before I did that had to wait longer, but I think that's because there was a parts shortage.
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had
problems?
The first time I sent mine in it worked fine for three weeks and then the RSD returned, but that was because Apple really didn't know at the time what the problem was. By the time I sent it in the second time, they had just concluded that a heatsink replacement would fix the problem. Hopefully they were right - only time will tell, since the issue generally seems to take a few weeks or more to occur.
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in
sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with
it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
It will get worse over time. If it only happens rarely, they might not be able to replicate the problem if you take it in for service right away. (The first time I took it to the Apple Store they couldn't get it to shut down. By the time I took it in the second time, it was predictable enough that I knew it would shut done right after they turned it on - then they sent it in for service.) If it happens fairly regularly (like every time you start it after its been sitting for awhile, or any time you wake it from sleep), then definitely take it in. Supposedly they really do know how to fix it now.
and last should i expect to lose everything on the
harddrive ifg i send it in?
Both times that I got mine back all of my data was intact. However, it is always good practice to do a full backup before you send it in -- just in case.

TS1440 Question Mark on MacBook Air

Few common questions about Mobile Forms

Hello, everyone!
I have a few questions about mobile forms:
Can a form be integrated with a portal, which is build NOT on Adobe CQ\AEM technology?
I've created a form and loaded it to the server repository via Form Manager. Now I can access it in my browser like this:
http://testlcserver:8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/hrform.html?contentRoot=repository%3 A%2F%2F%2FApplications%2FTest%2F1.0&template=UberForm.xdp&dataRef=
And the question is: what is the right way to share forms to users on a production environment (without integration in a portal pages on so on, let it be just a link to a form which users have to fill in)? I mean, should it be the same link, or it is only for developers need and to share forms to users some other way must be used?

For integrating on custom portal, you would need to integrate with form submit proxy for handling of submission as mentioned @ http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/mobile-forms-service-proxy.html.
As far as url of form is concerned, it’s really up you. You can choose to hide the request parameters as couple of other customers are doing. You can find more information about hiding form template and content root from request parameter @ http://blogs.adobe.com/foxes/hide-parameters-from-mobile-form-url/

Yahoo Small Business Email on MacBook Air

All of a sudden yesterday my Yahoo Small Business Email stopped working on Macbook Air.
Works fine on MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and iPhone 6.
Spent an hour with Yahoo Support. (My domain is hosted by Yahoo).
Does anyone have the same issue? It is (or was) a POP account. I deleted and added and deleted and added and deleted and added back.
No luck. Running Yosemite 10.10.2.

FWIW....I did do searches for a couple of days to this problem. One suggested fix was use IMAP instead of POP. Didn't work.

Problems about the Macbook air with Lion 10.7.2 running Warcraft III

Hello
I have bought the newest Macbook air with 128G SSD recently. The system is Lion 10.7.2
I am wondering why when I entered the Warcraft III game, the buttons and mouse are all black, I can not play the game.
The newest macbook air is using Intel HD Graphic 3000 as the display card
Is it possible that the driver on Lion for this display card not compatible with Warcraft III?
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you

Lol, you are both wrong.
First, yes, the buttons in the main menus are black. This is ****. Wrote that in a Blizzad forum already.
But: The game is fully playable once you start a game.
Second: This has nothing to do with PPC. WC3 is Universal! (How would he have known that the buttons are black if he couldn't even open the WC3 app!?!)
But one thing concerning Universal Binary has to be done by Blizzard: Make the Installers Universal too.Curently, there is no way to install WC3 in Lion.
