How I broke my activation
Here's a little lesson for anyone who happens to give presentations or needs to run ID in strange situations.
I'm down in Australia at the Mogo-Media Creative Suite Live event, when a glitch developed on my computer.
There was nothing I could do to get my machine to be recognized on the facility's projector.
This had happened to another speaker, so they knew what to do.
I booted my machine into the "Target" mode and attached it like a Firewire drive to another machine.
Then, I used my machine as the startup disk and launched InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Imagine my shock to discover a message that said I had a "broken activation" and had five days to activate the software or it would storp working.
Thank goodness I had a good internet connection back at the hotel. (Unlike some of the other places I've been recently.)
But the bottom line is if you try to mount your machine and run it through another one, your activation will automatically be broken and need to be repaired within five days.
On a positive note, at least you had five days.
That's the first time I've seen anything other than activate now.
Good to know.
Bob

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
BradYou cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

How can we achive active/active cluster setup with Oracle
Hi Experts,
How can we achieve active/active database setup with oracle WITHOUT USING RAC.. As far as I know it's impossible (unless I'm wrong)..
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.1 64bit on Windows 2008 server. We deployed Oracle FailSafe but that's more of an active/passive solution based on a windows cluster.
The other solution we were thinking about is to use DataGuard and replication.. two servers.. the oracle instance running on one server generating logs, and the other server receive the logs and apply them to the physical standby db.. Still, this is not a real active/active setup.
So, is it possible to run 2 servers in an active/active cluster and have the oracle database in an active/active setup or have the instance running on multiple nodes (at the same time)?
ThanksLet me give you a brief explanation of what the situation is and you can be the judge..
My client have four databases with the smallest one being 20GB and the biggest around the 35gb (SGA 750mb to 1.4gb (Tiny by DB standards) and probably on a normal day, you can run all four of them on a decent desktop).. The DBs are used to keep track of people information. Through out the year, the databases are almost sitting idle, and by idle I mean, the odd update here and there, the odd report..etc. No hard real processing of any sort. Two days of the year (end of year) we have all the operators consolidating records and what's not and they will be pounding away entering data and updating the tables - with hourly reports that goes to 3rd parties. The client expects a 99.99 up time and availability during those 2 days.
Now, tell me, How can I justify using RAC and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing and what ever extra costs introduced by the complexity of the environment for the above scenario knowing that I don't have any real use for RAC for 363 days of the year; and we MIGHT need it for 2 days of the year? This is the dilemma we're facing.
Thanks

Hello,
That is the only way and it is also described in:

One thing to be aware in lower version is the dump if no savepoints are declared:

Is there another way than the following as referenced in the Oracle forums: Re: How to list the active savepoints in a session? ?
"alter session set events 'immediate trace name savepoints level 1';"
A trace file is generated in the user_dump_directory.

How do I view activated devices in itunes on my ipad
I can't get to my laptop and I think someone's device is activated through my iTunes that shouldn't be. How do I manage activated devices in iTunes from my ipad?
buddhahat wrote:
Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is this really true? Music on all other apple devices is organised alphabetically yet on the iPad it's chronological and there's no way of changing this setting?! This seems crazy to me as albums are not necessarily dated according to their original creation, but rather reissue date etc. Pet Sounds is scattered all over the place on my iPad!
If you have the sort set to organize by album artist, an album shouldn't be "scattered". You may want to check your tags and make sure Album Artist is consistently set for all tracks. Some of the other tags, such as "part of compilation" can impact this as well. That won't correct the primary issue, but will keep your albums tracks properly grouped.
As for the lack of flexibility in sorting, you might consider submitting feedback to Apple:

I have installed both Audition 3 and Photoshop CS3 on a laptop with no Internet connection. How may they be activated? The methods documented in the software don't work.
Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
Isolating the laptop from the internet is the issue.

How can I get Activity Monitor to work?
I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac. If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles. I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

How to get Smartfilter Activation certificate?
I am not sure if this is a place to ask this question. But after no luck i thought of posting it here to get an answer.
I am using Content Engine 565 with ACNS. The CD accompanied with this product contains Smartfilter console and server. The documentation says that Cisco also provides an activation key via which product can be activated at www.securecomputing.com.
Please let me know how to get that activation key to get a license for Smartfilter.
Thank you.Pankaj,
SmartFilter licenses are obtained directly from Secure Computing. You can find more information here:

This happened a few days ago and we are pretty sure nobody was using the file as this is a production application server... and then it happened again several days later...
We have to kill the process and restart the service to get things going again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is not a viable way of doing things for us.
Thanks
Gabrieland we are pretty sure nobody was using the file as this is a production application server...
Hello Gabriel,
Is there maybe an anti-virus software running on the server, which accesses the file at the same time? If so, you may exclude the log file in the AV software.

How to unlock icloud activation if you are not the owner
how to unlock icloud activation if you are not the owner
Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself, along with an original proof of purchase. -
