Hi - I am new here: I need help and advice on the White Macbook - thanks.

Hi all,
I'm a new member to this forum + I am soon to be a new user of the Macbook.
I have ordered my new White 2.16 Macbook with an upgraded 2GB RAM & an upgraded 16GB HDD.
I have some questions which I would like answered please:
1) How likely is it that my macbook will get the cracks near the wrist rests?
2) How likely is it that my white macbook will discolour? Are the latest 2007 range also facing discolouration like last years models? How soon does the discolouration start to show?
3) Is the macbook a SOLID build? Or does it feel cheap when you touch and feel it?
4) How likely is it that the outer glossy body will get stratched? I remember the previous Ipods were poor quality and got stratched even by normal use or by putting it in your EMPTY pocket.
5) How likely is it that I will encounter hardware issues?
6) Is the Macbook AS GOOD AS Apple say it is?
Reason I am asking all these questions is because I am investing quite abit of money in a never before used item and with a company who I have never dealt with.
But having read all the issues and problems with apple products one has to ask these simple questions.
I mean even if you go out and buy a real cheapo laptop you would almost never come accross these poor quality issues in such a short time period has Apple users are stating.
Thanks, I look forward to the answers.
PC Windows Vista Awaiting delivery of my new White Macbook: 2.16GHz - Intel Core 2 Duo - 2GB memory - 160GB hard drive.

1) It's impossible to guess the likelihood of cracks. We don't have the numbers.
2) Discolouration seems to have been a problem specific to some earlier ones.
3) The MacBook is solidly built, but still feels more fragile than a MacBook Pro or even an iBook.
4) the outside plastic is easily scratched.
5) impossible to say, we don't have the numbers
6) Yes, it is that good. Great computer.
Any question you wrote which includes the words likely or likelihood is impossible for users to answer meaningfully, since we don't have access to any good numbers. Just from watching this discussion board, it might appear that cracks and discoloration are likely, but since Apple has sold millions of these things, these issues might really be measured as a small fraction of a percent. We just can't know.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

Need help with firewire problem with white macbook to new MBP...

Hello...I purchased a new MBP 13.3 inch with retina display a week ago because my old white macbook from 2008 has a cracked screen, rendering it unusable. I would very much liek to get some files off of it and onto my new MBP or onto an external drive. I bought the firewire to thunderbolt apple adapter, but I then saw I need ANOTHER cord or adapter to go from the old macbook to the adapter. Is this doable? What is the best one to use? are they all the same and which one will fit the adapter and the right end fit my old Macbook? So confusing and it's been hard to try to find an answer online. I am assuming I can boot the old Macbvook into Target mode and transfer the data. Thanks for any help.

This is the other cable and adapter you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7990ZM/A/moshi-firewire-800-cable-with-firewi re-400-to-800-adapter?fnode=51
You may be able to fine it cheaper somewhere else though.

Need Help and Advice Rebuilding!

Hi All!New here, and in desperate need of advice on rebuilding my credit. My score has now dropped from 550 to 429 based on some medical bills (11) in collections from when i was uninsured, totaling about $9,000. I briefly considered using a credit repair company, but am skeptical of paying so much for something i can mabe do myself. My question is how do i go about getting these items off of my credit report? I obviously do not have $9,000 lying around. A coworker told me she had used Sky Blue, and another said Lexington Law was good, but that i could probably generate my own dispute letters. Is disputing these accounts the best way to go? What should I do?? I'm so confused.

Need help and advice on designing relations of classes

I tried to use JInternalFrame which contains an extension of JPanel as the UI content (with actionListener for the buttons inside it). The Panel is contained in a JScrollPane.
jIntFrm = new JInternalFrame("-Title-", true, true, true, true);
jIntFrm.setLayout(FlowLayout());
jIntFrm.add(new JScrollPane(new PnlEntry()));
The user clicked the button inside the panel (PnlEntry) to close the JInternalFrame containing this panel or another button to do operations that will need to display another JInternalFrame containing another extension of JPanel.
Please give me advices on how these should be done, so that it makes good OO relations.
Right now, I'mdoing it like this:
public class mainFrame extends JFrame{
JInternalFrame jIntFrm; //AND OTHER INTERNAL FRAME
jIntFrm = new JInternalFrame("-Title-", true, true, true, true);
jIntFrm.setLayout(FlowLayout());
//THE PANEL IS GIVEN THE REF AND MEMORIZE IT UNTIL IT
//INVOKES mainFrame.panelExit(JInternalFrame)
jIntFrm.add(new JScrollPane(new PnlEntry(this, jIntFrm)));
panelExit(JInternalFrame jif){
if(jif == jIntFrm){
jIntFrame.dispose();
jIntFrame = null;
panelContinueProcess(JInternalFrame jif, Object someID){
if(jif == jIntFrm){
jIntFrame.dispose();
jIntFrame = null;
//start displaying another JInternalFrame with the appropriate Panel in it
Is this all is OK?
Please give me your advice
Thx,
David

Maybe read on MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern? It's practically the standard for Swing applications (even Swing itself follows the pattern).
You don't want to clutter your frame with behavioral code.

A very new user needs some help and advice....

Hi,
I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
I hope what I have explained makes sense.
Regards
John

So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

I need help in finding all the new fontsin iPad 2 using iOS 5

I need help in finding all the new fonts in ipad 2 using ios 5

You cannot change the email font. You can make it bold, italics and underline the type, but Helvetica is your only choice in the mail app.
In the notes app you have 3 choice Noteworthy, Helvetica and Marker Felt. The font can be changed in Settings>Notes>Font.
You can only use fonts that are built into the app that you are using at the time. You cannot pick and choose fonts from a list of all of the fonts that may be on the iPad but only from the list of fonts that the app allows.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
