How do I get MP to boot from SSD?

Hi, I plan on buying the new Intel X25-M Generation 2 as my boot drive and will put it in the lower optical bay. I suppose I'll boot from my Install DVD then format the SSD making sure it's a GUID partition and install OS X onto the SSD, but then how do I tell MP to boot from the SSD??
BTW, is it better to first boot up via my HDD to format the SSD. Then boot from the Install DVD and install OS X in the SSD?

The install process should set it as the boot voleme, but you can always use the "Startup Disk" system preference. Holding Option while booting will also let you choose the boot volume.

It makes no difference.

    Time Capsule is for backing up your data. It's not really a solution for live file storage; using it will not reduce the bloat of your boot volume.
    If you have a lot of movies, music, etc. in your iTunes Library, that can be a good thing to move to an external drive. Here's how:

    After you follow those instructions to copy your media over to the external drive and point iTunes to it, you can delete it from your internal drive.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES

    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    I have some sample code:

              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can I get the XML structure from a flat structure?

    Hi all,
    in my XI SP 12 I use a JMS adapter to read information using the WebSphereMQ transport protocol.
    The structure that I receive have this format:
    <Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value>
    <NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c>
    <Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
    <Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>
    <Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    <Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    the problem is that in this structure each line is not separated by a carriage return or a comma, I have all the information in a single line:
    <Name_A.KeyFieldValue><Name_A.fieldName_A1_Value>...<Name_A.fieldName_AN_Value><NumberRecordType_B><NumberRecordType_c><Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value>...<Name_B.KeyFieldValue><Name_B.fieldName_B1_Value>...<Name_B.fieldName_BN_Value><Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>...<Name_C.KeyFieldValue><Name_C.fieldName_C1_Value>...<Name_C.fieldName_CN_Value>
    and the customer don't want to insert a line separator.
    Then, the question is:
    How can I get the XML structure from this structure?
    If possible, I don't want to develop new Module and add it in the JMS Module Sequence.
    PS I have already read the article "How to Use the Content Conversion Module with the XI 3 J2EE JMS Adapter.pdf" and it doesn't seem to help me.
    Best Regards,
    Paolo

    To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
    ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
    String tempContextVar =
    context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

  • How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

    Hi Gurus;
    I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
    I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
    I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
    How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
    Thanks.

    Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
    I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
    There are like 3 steps.
    You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
    Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined  (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data:  It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
    Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
    call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
            retfield        = 'FLD2'
            value_org       = 'S'
          tables
            value_tab       = It_VALTAB
            return_tab      = It_return
            dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
          exceptions
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            others          = 3.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
          with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        else.
          perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
        endif.
    The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS  - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
    I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
    data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
            la_fields type dynpread.
      field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
    so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
    loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
        la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
        la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
        append la_fields to lt_fields.
        clear: la_fields.
      endloop.
    Call the FM to update the dynpro
    call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
        exporting
          dyname               = sy-repid
          dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
        tables
          dynpfields           = lt_fields
        exceptions
          invalid_abapworkarea = 1
          invalid_dynprofield  = 2
          invalid_dynproname   = 3
          invalid_dynpronummer = 4
          invalid_request      = 5
          no_fielddescription  = 6
          undefind_error       = 7
          others               = 8.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      endif.
    good luck

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.
