Getting RMA replacement: Most seamless way to clone/migrate?

My new 17" MBP is defective, and Apple is cross-shipping me a replacement. Since I'll have both machines together at the same time, there are lots of ways I might migrate all my files from one to the other, and I'd like some advice on the best approach.
Basically, I'd like to swap the hard drives, but since it's a violation of the warranty to open them up, I'd like to just clone one drive onto the other. This would preserve the identity of the machine so I can continue to use the same Time Machine sparsebundle. (Although that's not strictly necessary.)
So, there's the most seamless... and then there's the least hassle. What might that be? I could use Migration assistant, but then I'd have to start over with Time Machine (a few days worth so no big loss, but undesirable).
Suggestions?

See if this helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
The term "Migration Assistant" also applies to migrations performed using the Setup Assistant. *Setup Assistant* starts the first time you start up your new Mac and helps you enter your Internet information and set up a user account on your computer. The advantage of SA is it keeps intact all permissions on your user/admin account for a trouble free experience in the transfer from your old Mac.
hope this helps.

Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

Most of the Apple store sales people and some of the genius bar people are only knowledgable on Apple's more recent offerings. They are not very knowledgable, I found, on older PowerPC based Apple computers, I'm afraid.
Here's the real scoop.
Your girlfriend's G5 can only install up to OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is the last compatible OS X version for PowerPC users.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X10.7 Lion are for newer Intel CPU Apple computers.
Early iMac G5's can only have up to 2 GBs of RAM.
Later iMac G5's (2005-2006) could take up to 2.5 GBs of RAM
2 GBs of RAM will run OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
The very latest iTunes (10.5.2) can be installed and runs on both PowerPC and Intel CPU Macs.
However, there are certain new iTunes feature that won't work without an Intel Mac.
One of iOS and iTunes feature is sync'g wirelessly over WiFi.
This will not work unless you have an iDevice running iOS 5 and Intel Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard or better.
Although, I was disappointed I would not be able to do this with my G4 Mac, it's not a biggie problem for me.
So, your girlfriend's computer should be fine for what she intends to use it for.
The Apple people either just plain didn't know or we're trying to get you to think about buying a new Mac.
At least, as of now, not truly necessary.
If Apple, at some later point, drops support for PowerPC users running 10.5, then would be the time to consider a new or "newer" Intel CPU Mac.
My planned Mac computer upgrade is seeking out a " newer" last version G5 for my "new" Mac.
I can't afford, right now, to replace all of my core PowerPC software with Intel versions, so I need to stick with the older PowerPC Macs for the time being. The last of the G5's is what I seek.

I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

Most efficient way to get document names?

I was wondering what is the most efficient way to get the document names in a container? Use the built in 'name' index somehow, or is there an 'efficient' XPath/XQuery?
We've been using the XPath /* which is fine with small instances, but causes a java heap out of member error on large XML instances i.e. /* gets everything which is not ideal when all we want are document names.
Thx in advance,
Ant

Hi Antony,
Here is an example for retrieving the document names on c++:
void doQuery(XmlContainer &container,
XmlQueryContext &context,
const std::string &XPath)
XmlResults results(container.queryWithXPath(0, XPath, &context));
// Iterate through the result set as is normal
XmlDocument theDocument;
while(results.next(theDocument))
std::cout << "Found document named: "
<< theDocument.getName() << std::endl;

Most efficient way to get a connection from a defined connection -pool [whole message]

Having recently load-tested the application we are developing I noticed that
one of the most expensive (time-wise) calls was my fetch of a db-connection
from the defined db-pool. At present I fetch my connections using :
private Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
try {
Context jndiCntx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds =
(DataSource)
jndiCntx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/txDatasource");
return ds.getConnection();
} catch (NamingException ne) {
myLog.error(this.makeSQLInsertable("getConnection - could not
find connection"));
throw new EJBException(ne);
In other parts of the code, not developed by the same team, I've seen the
same task accomplished by :
private Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
return DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:weblogic:jts:FTPool");
From the performance-measurements I made the latter seems to be much more
efficient (time-wise). To give you some metrics:
The first version took a total of 75724ms for a total of 7224 calls which
gives ~ 11ms/call
The second version took a total of 8127ms for 11662 calls which gives
~0,7ms/call
I'm no JDBC guru som i'm probably missing something vital here. One
suspicion I have is that the second call first find the jdbc-pool and after
that makes the very same (DataSource)
jndiCntx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/txDatasource") in order to fetch the
actual connection anyway. If that is true then my comparison is plain wrong
since one call is part of the second. If not, then the second version sure
seems a lot faster.
Apart from the obvious performance-differences in the two above approaches,
is there any other difference one should be aware of (transaction-context
for instance) between the two ? Basically I'm working in an EJB-environment
on weblogic 7.0 and looking for the most efficient way to get hold of a
db-connection in code. Comments anyone ?

Thank you for both your replies. As per your suggestions I've improved my
connectionhandling (I ended up implementing the Service Locator pattern as a
matter of fact).
One thing still puzzles me though. Which (and why) is the "proper" way to
fetch the actual dataSource. As I stated before in the code I've seen two
approaches within the code I've got.
1. myDs = myServiceLocator.getDataSource("jdbc:weblogic:jts:FTPool");
2. myDs = myServiceLocator.getDataSource("java:comp/env/jdbc/tgsDB");
where getDataSource does a dataSource = (DataSource)
initialContext.lookup(dataSourceName); dataSourceName being the input-string
obviously.
tgsDB is defined as
<reference-descriptor>
<resource-description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/tgsDB</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>tgs-dataSource</jndi-name>
</resource-description>
</reference-descriptor>
in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
From what I can understand by your answer, you don't recommend using the
JNDI-lookup way of getting the connection at all ?Correct.
The service locator that
I implemented will still perform a JNDI lookup, but only once. Will the fact
that I'm talking to an RMI-object anyway significantly impact performance
(when compared to you non-jndi-method) ?In some cases, for earlier 7.0s, maybe yes. For the very latest, it shouldn't
hurt.
>
>
In my two examples above. If i use version 1. How will the server know
whether to give me a TX-bound connection and when not to ? In version 1
FTPool maps to a pool with both TX and non-TX datasources. In version 2.
tgsDB maps directly to a TX-dataSource.
I might be asking a lot of strange questions, probably because I'm just
getting the hang of all the resource-reference issues that EJBs are
associated with.Bear with me ;)

Hi. As Jon said, the lookups are redundant. Because you showed that otherway,
I will infer that this code is always being run in serverside code. Good.I will give you
a third way which is much better than either of the ones you showed. Thefirst method
you showed has a problem for all but the latest sps, your jdbc objectswill all be
going through an unnecessary level of indirection because you are gettingan rmi jdbc
object which talks to the jts driver object.
The second, faster method you showed also has a serious problem! Oneshould
never call DriverManager methods in multithreaded JDBC programs becauseall
DriverManager calls are class-synchronized, including some small internalones like
DriverManager.println(), which all JDBC drivers and even the constructorfor
SQLException call, so one slow getConnection() call can inadvertantly haltall other
JDBC being done in the whole JVM! Also, for JVMs that have lots of jdbcdrivers
registered, DriverManager is inefficient because it simply sends your URLand
properties to every driver it has registered until it finds one thatdoesn't throw an
exception and returns a connection.
Here's the fastest way:
// do once and reuse driver object everywhere. Can be used by multiplethreads
Driver d =(Driver)Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.jts.Driver").newInstance();
Then, whenever you want a connection:
public myJDBCMethod()
Connection c = null; // always a method level object
try {
c = d.connect("jdbc:weblogic:jts:FTPool", null);
... do all the jdbc for the method...
c.close();
c = null;
catch (Exception e) {
... do whatever, if needed...
finally {
// close connection regardless of failure or exit path
if (c != null) try {c.close();}catch (Exception ignore){}

Iterators - most efficient way to get last object?

Collection of objects, such as from an EJB, and I want to only get the last object. What is the most efficient way of doing this?
TIA!

addendum to previous post.
Allthough, that test would call to mind the question what are you going to do if it is 0? Throw an exception, as the code stands it will throw an index out of bounds exception to the calling process which could be handled there, and in truth probably should be.
Modified and expanded example
public class ListThingie{
     java.util.ArrayList listOfThingies = null
     public ListThingie(){
          super() ;
          listOfThingies = new java.util.ArrayList() ;
          buildListOfThingies() ;
     public void buildListOfThingies(){
          //... build the ArrayList here
     public Object getLastThingie() throws IndexOutOfBoundsException{
          return listOfThingies.get((listOfThingies.size()-1)) ;
public class ThingieProcessor{
     public static void main( String[] args){
          try{
               ListThingie listThingie = new ListThingie() ;

No. The warranty covers defects, it is not insurance.
You will have to purchase a replacement if you want one

Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen.

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;

http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Is there any way to get a replacement iPod for one that was stolen?

My iPod was stolen and sold to someone, is there anyway to get a replacement one from apple? I've had it for only about 7 or 8 months. If it's still under protection or whatever can it get replaced or anything? I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything. Anyone know?

Your iPod comes with a 1 year warranty which covers manufacturers defects. Unless you bought some sort of insurance specifically for your iPod or it's covered under your renter's/homeowner's insurance, they only way you're going to get a new one is to buy one. Sorry.
Best of luck.

Disable or suppress List output: Most elegant way?

Hi Experts,
Initial SItuation in Short:
I have modified the Standard Report RPCEDTX0 to our specifications for outputting an XML Stream (which is later processed to a PDF-Payslip). The Standard SAP List is not modified (also a specification) and is outputted normally. For our ESS scenario class CL_HRXSS_REM Method L_PRODUCE_FORM has been modified --> replaced BAPI_GET_PAYSLIP with a customer Function Module which SUBMITS the reactivates the Conversion to PDF and returns it to the Method L_PRODUCE_FORM.
My "Problem" is:
In my Customer Function Module, the Report RPCEDTX0 is submitted and generates its standard list which must not happen here; because there won't be any user interaction. I figured I could use submit as per
SUBMIT rpcedtd0 USING SELECTION-SET lv_var_name
                    WITH SELECTION-TABLE lt_rspar
                    EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                    AND RETURN.
or as per
SUBMIT rpcedtd0 USING SELECTION-SET lv_var_name
                    WITH SELECTION-TABLE lt_rspar
                    TO SAP-SPOOL
                     WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
                    AND RETURN.
to evade getting the standard list displayed. But I wonder if it is a problem if I spam the Memory like that or created thousands of spools which I don't need/want, so..
Which is the most elegant way to let that standard List disappear via the "Submit" statement?
regards,
Lukas

Thanks for the quick answer,
I kind of thought so as well. But I'm a little afraid of the memory used, because the pdf I'm creating is the PDF for the ESS-Payslip. Once a months about 25.000 people will say "Oh Jolly, let's have a look at my payslip shall we"; meaning 25.000 times export into memory, probably on the same day/in the same hour in a worst case scenario.
Would there be a way to pointedly delete/free the allocated space of the abap memory?
Regards,
Lukas

Could I get another replacement iPhone 4?

I recently got my replacement iPhone 4 about a month ago. I have about a 30 day warranty left from my previous phone. I don't like the way my replacement(refurbished) phone runs. For example sometimes the screen goes from bright to low. I keep it on the low setting. Also the keyboard is slow even writing this out right now. Also apps like safari randomly close. I only have about 20 apps and 130 pics and nothing else.
Could I get another replacement iPhone for this replacement iPhone?
I just don't want to get suck with a phone that doesn't work before my warranty runs out.
Please help me out!

So you can only get a hardware replacement, when the issue present is caused by problems with the hardware. Your issue specifically, is software related and will require troubleshooting to fix. With that being said, if your problems are similiar to the ones you were having on your old phone, restoring from a backup will generally contain the same problem.
I would go ahead and restore the device as new and troubleshoot / test in it's at most factory default to confirm you have yourself a wonderful working phone.
Side note: A refurb phone is generally 100 times better than a brand new phone as it has been tested and thoroughly gone over before placing into your greesy apple hands.
