Great article for new DBA's who are trying to get that first DBA job.

I just came across this article, pretty informative, answers some questions I had when I first started. You can read it here

Yeah. God forbid I want new DBA's to read my article that is 100% relevant to this board and this topic. Hardly the same thing as Viagra Pills or African MILF's in your Area. The second post was an error, apologies.

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

    need driver or app for ms life cam 3.0 tried to get one off the internet. cisco wireless router software said malware and virus threat. Is it safe for mac? is this software try to protect my pc or is it A threat to macs to.

    There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
    Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.

  • I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.

    I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.
    It is becoming frustrating to try to get it activated .
    I do not know how to get it activated when it keeps informing me that there is no net work connected
    Could not sign in please check your network connection and try again.
    For both iMessage and FaceTime .
    Any radical solution that you have will be appreciated as it is becoming frustrating .

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • We are trying to get MacBook Pro G4

    We are trying to get on the net via a Netgear router.  My ipad2 gets on with the same PW but the laptop (with Airport) says "Timeout".  I can get on with Ethernet but not the Airport. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    What type of network is the Netgear transmitting? 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n? 2.4GHz or 5GHz? What type of encryption? The PowerBook G4's built-in wireless card is so old that it might not be able to connect if you have the router set to the latest standards only. You may have to allow older standards on the router, but you'll have to find out what it's currently set to.

  • Can it be possible to disable outlook anywhere for some few users who are working from home ?

    One of my customer wants to disable outlook anywhere for some of the users who are working from home.They have exchange server 2013 in their premises and also have outlook 2010/2013 on their clients machine.Please advice?

    Hi,
    In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) are using Outlook Anywhere anyways. It is not recommended to use the following command to disable Outlook Anywhere for a specific user:
    Set-CASMailbox UserA -MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp $True
    If you disable it, the UserA would not be able to access the mailbox from both Internal Outlook client (Office) and external Outlook client (Home).
    For your requirement about disable Outlook anywhere for some few users instead of all external users, there seems to be no method to achieve it directly in Exchange server. Sorry for any inconvenience.

  • Firefox new install on XP, problems trying to get same-version-Firefox old W2K profile to run.

    I'm moving from a W2KproSP4 (Win2000, Windows 2000) machine to an XPproSP3 (WinXP) machine. I was running AVG 9.0 and Firefox 3.6.7 with FireFTP, NoScript, WOT, and screengrabber(?). I installed Firefox on the XP machine, launched it to create a profile, and closed it. I copied the old profile folder contents into the new one.
    On launch: "Malformed file" "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem." (This error disappears in Firefox Safe Mode.) Install.rdf is on the old drive at \Program Files\AVG\AVG9\Firefox.
    "alert" "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory."
    When I click on Tools/Addons, "An error occurred during a connection to services.addons.mozilla.org:443. Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled."
    I tried uninstalling AVG and Firefox and installing Firefox first. (That helped me with Link Scanner related non-launch on another XP machine.) Depending on which combination of old & new profile files I have, I get some combination of the above 3 errors and not launching at all. (It may show for about 1 second in Task Manager, then quit.)
    P.S. I am posting this from my old W98SE machine, running Firefox 2.0 since it won't launch anything newer. I never did solve that mystery.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I am moving to a new O/S

    Hi the-edmeister, thank you so much for your time.
    I'm proceeding more cautiously now, and trying to get my most crucial info back one step at a time. The situation seemed to be getting worse, so I fell back a ways for a fresh swing at it:
    I just restored to a Ghost of the XP before I installed Firefox, uninstalled AVG, and installed the same version of Firefox (3.6.7) as my old computer had. The W2K's old drive is slaved to my new HD, so I have access to the old files in (what is now) H:.
    I tried to restore bookmarks-2010-07-24.json from my old bookmarkbackups directory and got "unable to process backup file". (I also tried copying several files to the bookmarkbackups dir and restoring from there, but got the same error message.) Help>TroubleshootingInfo confirms the current profile folder, and the copied JSONs were seen by OrganizeBookmarks>Import-and-Backup>Restore.
    Then I copied places.sqlite from the old profile to the new one, but Firefox doesn't see my bookmarks. When I backup bookmarks to my desktop, I get a zero length .JSON file. Is there a trick to making places.sqlite active?
    BTW, yes, I've tried to update the Firefox version 2.0 on the W98SE, most recently to 2.0.0.20, but whenever I do, it runs invisibly (is present in Program Manager but doesn't display the window.) I have to uninstall and reinstall 2.0 to have a working Firefox on this beast. Thanks for noticing. That's another topic, tho.

    Hi Olivia,
    What happens when you try to open Acrobat?
    I checked your account; it looks like there may have been a hangup with the order processing. Please Contact Customer Care so that an agent can help you get that straightened out. I suspect that may be why you're unable to open Acrobat.
    Best,
