For those of you that have had a MacBook delivered to your doorstep...

Was it shipped FedEx? (Any original/new MacBooks, not ones back from repair.) If no one is home during the day to pick it up, do they leave it at your doorstep, take it to a post office and drop it off, try to deliver it again, or what?
Thanks.

I was expecting my Macbook to be delivered yesterday and checked on its progress midday at work. To my HORROR, Fedex's tracking stated "Left at front door. Package delivered to recipient address - release authorized"
I screamed WHAT!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!! I sped home (as the package had apparently been sitting outside my apartment door for 40 minutes!) And rushed to get it inside. Luckily, I got there in time.. but oh man is FedEX gonna get it!!!! I CANNOT believe they would leave such an expensive computer outside in an apartment complex!
When I clicked on "signature proof" on the tracking page, it states that NO signature was found and that "At the time of shipment, the signature was released by the shipper/recipient (indicating that no signature was required)".
At the time of Shipment??? That is SO upsetting to me! Especially because for the iPod I received a few days earlier, we were required to wait unitl 5pm to go pick it up at the FedEx facility. My computer is worth SO MUCH more! And they just left it there!
Also, I did not select the "free shipping" option from Apple... instead opting for the *more expensive* priority shipment method. This is how they repay me?
FedEx is gonna HEAR IT from me!

For those of you who have had issues installing Itunes on Win 7 or possibly another OS

This MIGHT help you.
I tried all day yesterday to install Itunes and I could not get it to work for the life of me. As of today I finally got it installed, so I am giving a quick list of what I did.
First check to make sure windows is updated and then make sure your SQLserverCe31.msi file is not missing or corrupt. if so I was able to download it through Microsofts website.
I then used my Windows system file checker tool to repair any corrupted windows files which I had none.
After all of that I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer. I quarantined all of them and ran it again
I then used msconfig and disabled ALL of my NON Microsoft services and ALL of my startup services (Selective startup)
I tried running the Itunes installer again and BOOM everything installed correctly. I hope this helps SOMEONE

"I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer."
...and you're surprised that you had installation issues with iTunes? This makes me wonder whether others who report problems installing iTunes have computers that are equally infected! For reference, I just checked the logs from the last Malwarebytes scan (I run an automated scan twice a week) on my main iTunes system (on which, like the other iTunes instances I run, never seems to suffer from any installation issues) - zero issues

For those of you who have the "Perfect Timing" ringtone from the commercial

I posted this in the plain 'ol phone forum but haven't got a response yet. I hope I get one here.
For those of you who have the ringtone from the iPhone TV commercial -- do you remember what portion of the song (or can you check in iTunes) you used for the actual ringtone? If you could tell me the counter (in seconds and minutes) that you started and ended your tone at, that would be great. I'm trying to get it exactly like the commerical but I don't think I have it just right. Thanks! By the way the song is called "Perfect Timing."

For those of you that know me

for those of you that know me, i figured i'd drop a note here to say today's my last day at oracle. those of you that do know me probably also know that i'm very grateful to you guys what you've done. for what we've done. back in the day when this project marvel stuff (oracle platform stuff, for you really old skoolers) was new, it took a certain amount of faith to jump on board. we did. we jumped on board believing it'd work, and then we proved it. we've shown the world that this Application Express stuff not only works, but it works well. thanks guys, it's your continuing activity here on this forum and in the global community that have shown so many people how good web app development can be. please know i appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. also, now that i'm leaving the mothership, i'd like to say that the apex team is just incredible. you couldn't hope to work with a cooler or more dynamic group of people. i think you guys get a sense of that when you use the product and interact w/them on this forum, but i just wanted to confirm that now that i'm heading into the afterlife.
somewhat choked up,
raj (soon to be [email protected])

Hello,
I don't know Raj in person, but I read some of his articles on OTN, some of his threads on this forum, and some very kind words, written by Tom Kyte. So, I believe the Apex guys when they are saying he'll be missed.
Usually, when senior staff jumps ship, it's a good reason to start worry. In this case, it seems like Scott Spendolini is building a mini empire around Apex. As I consider these guys to be smart and skillful, their willingness to leave good and secure positions at Oracle, in favor of some new adventure, can only mean one thing they all believe in the good and bright future of Apex, and its ability to provide for them. It seems like a good sign for people like me user who devote a great deal of time learning how to make the best out of this tool.
I wish Raj all the best, and encourage all the others keep on the good work.
Regards,
Arie.

For those of you using two hard drives..........

I have two hard drives, and really want to set them up properly so that logic is running on the main drive, and the secondary drive is for audio/samples etc. So for those of you that have done this, what is the best way? Specifically -
1. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder need to go on the secondary drive?
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive? Is it just a matter of moving them and then redirecting logic when it can't find the files?
Your input on the best way to utilize two drives is most appreciated - what has worked for you, and what hasn't.

. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder
need to go on the secondary drive?
Leave the instruments folder where it is, and put your samples folder on the external drive.
You can alias the instruments folder to whereever you want, but you don't really get any performance advantages doing so.
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you
re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive?
Two things to note - you don't need to do anything. When the EXS24 loads an instrument, if the samples are not at the location specified in the instrument, it will search for them, and when it finds them, it will write the new location back to the instrument so next time it won't have to search.
So, if you've moved your sample folders, the first time you access an instrument it will take some time to load while Logic hunts for the samples. Subsequent loads of that instrument will be as fast as ever.
Now, you can use the Project Manager (or Redmatica's EXSManager) to do this relinking for you across multiple instruments or your whole library.
In the PM, do an expanded scan. Then, select your instruments, and choose the "resolve samples" function - Logic will relink instruments with their samples and update the instrument files with the new locations. This can take some time with a big library.
Any more questions, post back.

For those of you waiting...

Just an FYI for those of you that are waiting for Merom, it may not be worth it. Although the chip is 64-bit the chipset that is currently out is still only 32. The Santa Rosa chipset is due to come out in the spring which will be 64-bit. Could be why Apple isn't upgrading, they aren't in to "tricking you" like everyone else. So for those of you waiting thinking it will come out any day now, think again. The good news is that even if you don't get a 64 bit system it is going to take a long time for you so really need one since software would still have to catch up.

Bsmit007 is right about 40-bit real support in Core 2 Duo's. However, the thing is that with a pseudo 64-bit support it would be possible to run Windows XP 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Vista. I'm sure Mac OSX is much better, but I need flexibility with running all sorts of programs. I'm currently looking for a laptop to buy, and have some doubts whether I should wait for Core 2 Duo or not. It's not about performance (which will be just 5% - 7% faster in real life apps), it's rather about the hassle I'll have at the time of the next upgrade.
My question is what chipsets current MBP's motherboards are running on and whether the CPU has a BGA or PGA Socket-M interfase?(which allows to change the CPU). For example, if it's an Intel 945GM or PM chipset, then I could buy MBP now, and in half a year time swap the CPU for Core 2 Duo along with other upgrades, such as memory, HDD and etc.
Cheers,
Ayrat.

I have been trying to get my ibook g4 fixed from apple for 6 years now. my ram doesnt work and the logic board is f'd up aswell... i know 12 people that have had the same issue. 4 of them got there ibooks replaced. anyone know what to do?

Apple supports most of their computer products for a 7 year period, could be that your IBook is well past any kind of help.Secondly parts are no longer being made for this machine and never will be again. Finally I find it hard to believe that nothing has been done with this for 6 years.Have you documented the reasons why you were turned down for repairs ? were the replaced Ibooks within a couple of months of warranty expiration? What model is your IBook ? At least if we knew what the model #, some of the more techy types could find out if there were any repair programs for your model.
Seems odd that you'd hang on to a non-working IBook for that long.

Possible solution for all you that have skipping songs, & scratchy sound

Hi All,
After upgrading to 7.02, I was extremely annoyed with the performance. But here's what I found and did. In a nutshell, you uninstall the new version and install a 6.05 version or earlier. I'll include some links to what I found and hopefully it'll help. Here's the first link and it describes what you need to do. Scroll down to the post by marlowe5 posted 10-08-2006, 8:06 A.M. and I also included the exact wording from the post below the link.
http://www.oldapps.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-228.html
This is the exact wording:
Thanks for the advise in this post... after installing iTunes 7, and then 7.01, my computer was running really slow, iTunes was skiping and garbling and acting terribly... so I really needed to go back to 6.05.
For all of you that need to do the same it's pretty easy:
I downloaded the 6.05 install file from from oldapps, uninstalled 7.01 and then re-installed 6.05. When I ran iTunes it did give me the error message that the library file was created in a new version and couldn't open, but I then deleted the 'itunes library.itl' file (in My Music > iTunes folder) and then replaced it with the backup that was automatically created when I installed 7.01 (in My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries). iTunes then started up fine with all my music and playlists. And all the skipping and CPU bogging is better now.
Library file note:
With the library file, when you update iTunes it also updates the library file, which won't work with older versions. So you need to replace this file or create a new one. I would recommend copying/backing up the new library file to a different location to be safe instead of just deleting it. You'll see above where to find the new library file and prior ones. When I made these changes I did two things to be safe, 1) I moved the new "iTunes library.itl" to a backup location instead of deleting it 2) I moved my most recent old library file from(My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries) to (My Music > iTunes folder)and renamed it to "iTunes library.itl". It was previously "iTunes library 2006-1-18.itl." Before renaming it, iTunes didn't find the library so renaming it worked. Your file name will most likely have a different date so don't look for the exact file I mentioned. Plus it's probably a good idea to make a copy or back up this library file too.
If you don't have any previous library files, you may need to create a new one. I don't have the info but I believe the link to the post should have that info.
After reading through the post and other info, the only thing that it appears might be lost are playlists that have been created since the upgrade. I don't believe any music should be lost but that's why it's safer to backup the new library just in case. I did not lose any music.
Also, here's a link to where I found old versions of iTunes:

Hopefully this helps and good luck. I'm back to normal now.

Soccerteen,
Make sure you try all the other remedies mentioned in other posts. If this didn't work for you then try below. I consider it a last ditch effort since it's going back to a previous version, which unfortunately works much better than 7.0x for me.
Remove & backup your current library file to a different file/location to be safe. Once you do that, uninstall 7.02, and then install 6.05 or any 6 version. Once 6.0x is installed and you've opened it, you'll need to create a new library file. If you've removed the library file from (My Music > iTunes folder)it should load up with a blank slate. What you to do from this point is create a new library file. Read the oldapps link, the post from "Admin" dated 9-30-2006 5:30 PM should help. Most likely all of your music will be under one main file but you might have to add individual folders one at a time depending on how much music you have. Since I didn't have to go this route, I'm not sure if it's the best route but after reading multiple post, this was the most common suggestion. Worst case scenario, you can always reload 7.02 an reinsert the backup library file, which will put you back where you started.
Hope that works for you and good luck!

I have had my macbook pro for 3 days, and it will not charge. I tried several differnt outlets, tried cleaning and wiggling the magnet charger, still nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your MBP. Personally, I would not waste my time "troubleshooting" if the normal solutions do not work.
Return the MBP for one that works before your 14 days are up and/or call AppleCare ASAP!!!
Good luck!

I have had my MacBook Pro for almost 4 years now. How do i perminantly delete deleted files?

Your situation is not good, then. You will need to erase your hard drive and start anew. Boot from your installer DVD for the OS X version you have installed on it.
I hope you have backups because it's not likely you can backup at this point.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
         optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
         "C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
         dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
         OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the display in week view to show all 24 hours per day for those of us that work irregular hours.
Also is it possible to have all of the 'all day' entries showing, not just 3.5 of them.
The app Week Cal HD was the perfect calendar until Apple removed it so could they please offer the same facilities that it offered.
