How do I make sure I am running latest JRE on snow leopard?

I am running snow leopard, and I somehow changed my version of java or JRE (not sure which - or if they are the same).
But now, I want to be sure I'm running the most current versions.
how can I check the version and if not up to date, how do I update this?
thanks

You can use /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app to check installed Java versions, and which version is default/preferred.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

How do I make a partition on my HD to install Snow Leopard (Lion is on my HD now)?

I have been an Apple fan since the first Mac in 1984 and have used every version of the OS since then. Until Lion, I thought each was an improvement on the previous. I have had so many random and annoying problems since installing Lion on my (early 2011) MBP with 8 GB of RAM that I thought I'd make a separate partition on my HD and install Snow Leopard there, gradually moving back to that version. I tried disk utilities first, but the mount point for that partition was /Volumes, not root (/). I then tried Boot Camp, and succeeded in making a partition that mounts at root, I reformatted it with disk utilities (to MacOS HFS with journaling), but the Snow Leopard install DVD cannot find this. Stuck!
Btw, the most recent Lion OOPS! was that Address Book refused to start on my user space. I tried from another user and it worked there, but not on my home user. After trying everything I could think of, I finally booted in safe mode, and then Address Book worked. When I rebooted normally, Address Book still worked. Go figure!

How to make sure an applet runs with Java 5?

Hi all,
First let me say thanks for all the help in the past. You've help me go from noob to intermediate noob. I've just about finished my first applet game which can be checked out here .
Now I've been reading about problems with mac and 1.6. (note it works on Linux). I want to make sure that it runs fine and of course I don't own a mac. So I downloaded the 5 JDK. Selected it as the java platform in Netbeans, compiled and it ran fine.
Questions:
Do I have to always use 1.5 to compile and perhaps set it as default?
Since it works in 1.5, do I compile it with 1.6 and just upload?
I'm worried I'm not testing it correctly. I mean if I have both 1.5 and 1.6 installed on my machine, how to I make sure the applet is only using 1.5 to run?
Thanks
Darrin

I haven't got a clue RE your problem other than for max-portability you should compile with [-target 1.5|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html].
I must say I'm impressed, except I suspect my PC must be substantially faster than any of your test platforms... can you throttle it to CPU performance somehow? Or maybe it's just that my reflexes aren't what they once where.Thanks.
There seem to be two issues. The first is what people are using. This web stats shows pretty poor penetration of 1.6.
[http://www.statowl.com/java.php|http://www.statowl.com/java.php] Penetration: 54% with JRE1.6 + 19% with JRE 1.5. Total 73%.
The second is I've read that mac and 1.6 do not get along except on a 64bit platform.
So for applets there is not much choice but to compile on 1.5 for the broadest user base. I guess the good news is 1.4 and earlier are almost non-existent.

Running Time Machine for the first time, how that I make sure that some information I have in the external drive does not get erase in the prosess

1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Note: This is now your Library. It's not a Back Up, and you need another disk for backing up.

How can I make sure iTunes doesn't stop updating my podcasts

OK I'm subscribed to multiple podcasts, but I don't always get a chance to listen to them so some of them will stop updating and it says something like "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you haven't listened to any episodes lately".
How can I make sure it doesn't do that? When I do get to listen to my podcasts, I would really like it if they weren't 3 weeks old.

someone made a script that fixes this. It seems to work for me. If you want it to do it automatically just make an iCal even for every 3 days or something that runs this script.

How can I make sure the Presenter Display will show up?

I use the option "use alternate display to view presenter information", and it works fine with my secondary display at home. The presenter information (Presenter Display) with my notes etc. shows up.
But when I gave a practice talk at my university, the Presenter Display did not show up, although all settings were the same. Back at home with my own secondary display, it works fine again.
How can I make sure that the Presenter Display will always show up on the secondary display?

I have a similar problem. Last year I gave a presention at a client's office using my Macbook. I had the presenter display on my Macbook screen and the presentation on their projector.
A few months ago I upgraded to the latest Macbook Pro 15" (plus there have been upgrades to OS X and Keynote in that time). This time when I tried to run the same set-up my MBP screen went blank. I tried changing settings for Keynote and System prefs with no success. The only way I cuould give the presentation without needing to look at the projector screen was to mirro the displays (and lose the Notes of course). Maybe there is a bug with the latest Keynote?
OS 10.5.7

Error: "Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error (12031)"

Hi,
EPM version: EPM 11.1.2.1
When we are using Zoom In Level as All Levels and tring to drill down for dimention of HFM application we are getting below error.
Error: "Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error (12031)"
As we found some solution from comunity , we have performed below workaround but still we are getting same error.
·              We have done the changes in mod_wl_ohs.conf file of OHS with (WLIOTimeoutSecs 3600 and WLIOSocketTimeoutSecs 3600)
·              And then restarted OHS and APS service but still we found same error.
Could anyone please suggest ,where can we trace its log from web server and the solution for this issue?
     Thanks,
         D.N. Rana

Hi,
We have already performed the changes for APS in OHS as mentioned in the solution and the path also same as under OHS.
Intially we were getting error for "to increase netRetryCould and NetRetryInterval" as a solution we have added below 3 registry DWORD keys under path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:00180000                   (26 Minutes)
"ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00                      (240 Minutes)
"ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:00180000                  (26 Minutes)
Above error resolved but then we received Error"12031"
Now we have added above 3 DWORD keys under path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
and now we are not getting the error "12031".
But here we are not getting how it(LB issue) resolved with above solution?
Thanks,

The best way to make sure you are not facing memory pressure is to use perfmon counters and monitor various memory counters
For SQL Server 2005 - 2008 r2 use below counters
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Buffer Cache hit ratio(BCHR): IIf your BCHR is high 90 to 100 Then it points to fact that You don't have memory pressure. Keep in mind that suppose somebody runs a query which request large amount of pages in that
case momentarily BCHR might come down to 60 or 70 may be less but that does not means it is a memory pressure it means your query requires large memory and will take it. After that query completes you will see BCHR risiing again
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Page Life Expectancy(PLE): PLE shows for how long page remain in buffer pool. The longer it stays the better it is. Its common misconception to take 300 as a baseline for PLE. But it is not,I read it from
Jonathan Kehayias book( troubleshooting SQL Server) that this value was baseline when SQL Server was of 2000 version and max RAM one could see was from 4-6 G. Now with 200G or RAM coming into picture this value is not correct. He also gave the formula( tentative)
how to calculate it. Take the base counter value of 300 presented by most resources, and then determine a multiple of this value based on the configured buffer cache size, which is the 'max server memory' sp_ configure option in SQL Server, divided by 4 GB.
So, for a server with 32 GB allocated to the buffer pool, the PLE value should be at least (32/4)*300 = 2400. So far this has done good to me so I would recommend you to use it.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--CheckpointPages/sec: Checkpoint pages /sec counter is important to know about memory pressure because if buffer cache is low then lots of new pages needs to be brought into and flushed out from buffer pool,
due to load checkpoint's work will increase and will start flushing out dirty pages very frequently. If this counter is high then your SQL Server buffer pool is not able to cope up with requests coming and we need to increase it by increasing buffer pool memory
or by increasing physical RAM and then making adequate changes in Buffer pool size. Technically this value should be low if you are looking at line graph in perfmon this value should always touch base for stable system.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Freepages: This value should not be less you always want to see high value for it.
SQLServer:Memory Manager--Memory Grants Pending: If you see
memory grants pending in buffer pool your server is facing SQL Server memory crunch and increasing memory would be a good idea. For memory grants please read this article:
SQLServer:memory Manager--Target Server Memory: This is amount of memory SQL Server is trying to acquire.
SQLServer:memory Manager--Total Server memory This is current memory SQL Server has acquired.
8. Free List Stalls/sec – Number of requests per second that had to wait for a free page
9. Free Pages – Total number of pages on all free lists (free lists track all of the pages in the buffer pool that are not currently allocate to a data page, and are therefore available for usage immediately)
NOTE: If you have NUMA system don't use PLE to monitor memory condition it wont give correct value
From 2012 Onwards
Memory management has become easy from 2012 onwards as
Max server memory also allocated memory for requests which require memory >8KB
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Free Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Target Server Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Total Server Memory (KB)
For NUMA system its also wort monitoring each node.
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Total Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Target Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Free Node Memory
(KB)
Ideally if target server memory is less than or equal to total server memory there wont be memory pressure if target is > total it does not always means its memory pressure
BCHR would also give you good idea about memory pressure
If memory grants pending is frequently non zero there is memory pressure

EDiscovery_SharePoint 2013_After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location

Hi everyone,
After a set of content is placed on hold in a location, how do I make sure that anything added to the same location,that meets the filter (e.g. keyword) gets added to the hold automatically ?
Right now the only way I can do this is to take off the hold ,re-apply the filter to the source and then enable the hold. That isn't sustainable.

@arcycapa,
If you have a Mac, you can download iDentify2 (http://identify2.arrmihardies.com/). It is free. You can use that change or set your contentRating. If you are on Windows, there is a commercial tool called MetaX. or download a free command line tool called AtomicParsley from (https://bitbucket.org/wez/atomicparsley). Unzip the file and run this command (AtomicParsley "C:/Users/Home Videos/name of the file.mp4" --contentRating R) from the DOS prompt without the parenthesis. Please keep in mind the forward slash in the path name listed above. This would generate a temp file. You can rename the temp file to the original file name. Just a word of caution, please make a copy of your original file somewhere. Just in case.

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

How do I make sure my iPhone sends a text not an iMessage?

My iPhone seems nowadays to try to send a SMS as an "iMessage" rather than a text. This does not work very well. I have had delays of several hours, and messages delivered to computers at home rather than the phone in the pocket. Also it uses data bandwidth rather than the phone signal without asking my permission. This is a serious shortcoming IMO.
How do I make sure that my text messages actually are text messages.

Just turn off iMessage in Settings
