How I got through Activation

Like many others, my first attempt was met with the message "Requires more time". I tried many different ways, and this is what worked for me:
1) Have iPhone in dock and connected through USB to your computer with iTunes 7.3 installed.
2) Turn off iPhone by holding the sleep button till the confirm slider appears, then confirm.
3) Reboot computer.
4) Once computer has fully booted, turn iPhone on.
This was the only successful method that pulled me through the "Requires more time for activation" message. Give it a try, and let me know if maybe it was just a coincidence.

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.

How I got 48.11gb FREE on my MBA SSD.

Got the MBA today and i am LOVING IT.
Here's how I got 48gb free -- and my reasoning behind it...
1. I followed everything in this article -- http://guides.macrumors.com/CompleteSteps_to_Perform_a_Clean_OS_X_Reinstall_on_Your_MacBookAir. I remote installed using my old PBG4's drive. It took about 1.5 hours. The short install time was most likely due to the fact that there was very little to install!
In the article, for Step #10, *I unchecked everything*.
For the bundled apps, my reasoning was as follows: I don't need official help documents (200 mb) b/c these are all online... iWeb is worthless... iMovie and iDVD are similarly pointless on a computer w/no DVD drive (and I've never used them once since they came out)... Garageband might be useful to musicians but that I am not... iPhoto -- while nice to have -- has largely served as a conduit to get my pictures up into Picasa. Photo editing and viewing has all gone online these days. I'll most likely need at least the Picasa Uploader in the future, but I'm going to hold off on iPhoto for as long as I can. (However, I'll miss using the trackpad to rotate and zoom in on pics using iPhoto.)
When and if I ever need these apps, I can remote install them using Disc 1.
Note: during the install, I didn't need to insert the second disc b/c I unchecked XCode, which I don't need.
2. As the article suggest, I also manually deleted the voice files in the System folder.
3. I then bought a license for xSlimmer and dumped all of my apps and utilities into it, freeing up about 700 more mb. I was hesitant to do this so I backed up all of my apps (a feature of the program) to an external hard drive. Obviously, the backup can't stay on the MBA -- I need the space!
Note: Despite my hesitations on app instability, 90% of what was slimmed came from Mail, iTunes, Address Book, etc, apps that still have 17 useless languages even IF you chose to ditch all languages besides English in Step #10 of the MacRumors article.
4. I deleted Chess... If I ever need to play it, I'll play online -- w/other people as it was meant to be played!
*5. That puts me at 48.11gb!*
6. My philosophy going forward -- and the entire reason I bought the MBA -- is to be as online and web app-dependent as possible. That's where the future lies and part of the reason I bought into the MBA philosophy (while an expensive one) is b/c I believe in this trend. I'm an advocate of an online existence and as such, I'm going to try to live in such a manner.
Future apps I'll most likely dump -- Mail, which I don't think I've even opened in a year... iCal, which I only keep b/c I sync my Google Calendars to iCal and then to my iPhone... Dictionary, which is inferior to more complete online dictionaries... Stickies, iChat, Time Machine -- again, these are all cutesy apps, but realistically, the first two are now done better online (meebo, gChat, facebook) and for the latter, I don't see the point of being a zealous backup fiend if I have nothing to backup in the first place! (Although, I've done just fine w/SuperDuper the past 2 years.)
7. For my iTunes library, which is over 200gb, I bought a Western Digital 320gb Passport on eBay for ~ $100 and plan to listen to music w/the external connected while at home.
While on the go, I'm pretty good w/the 16gb on my iPhone.
Also, music is now so 2.0 I enjoy discovering and hearing music through services like last.fm and Pandora. (If iTunes were ever to become more of a social network and be more open, they could really have something, but I think Songbird might have already beat them to it...)
8. Future apps I'll most likely install -- Scrivener, iWork, Camino (a second browser is always nice), VLC, xTorrent.
9. I also plan and hope to one day upgrade the 64gb to a 128. This AnandTech article -- http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=3226 -- is the single best review I've read of the MBA. It leads me to believe by the end of the year, upgrading to a 128gb might be possible.
Sorry for the long post. I just though I'd share some thoughts w/everyone.
- david

Thank you!
I haven't read all of your post yet but from what I have read I believe we are in agreement. I have copied it into my notes on the MacBook Air. When I get $ together and get my MBA I will definitely be going back and studying your post in detail.
Thanks again!
PS: you lucky dog!

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)?
Thanks

Let 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

How I got the .4181 OS finally installed and running stable

Hi folks,
after a very long night shift, I am "proud" to announce that my Z10 is now running stable in 4181 without any missing functionalities. (even phone calls seem to work properly :-) )
Interested in how I got there, then just read on:
IMPORTANT:
If not already done, BACKUP ALL DATA on Your Z10 device, You´ll surely need this Backup! :-)
After the everlasting security wipe, which I tried to interrupt several times, by pulling the battery (and the SIM) out, it finally stopped and showed me the connect to PC icon on the screen of the Z10.
So I connected my Z10 and restored the factory FW using the BlackBerry Link Software, WITHOUT having the SIM inserted.
After the first initial setup, I looked for SW Updates, but (and of course) none was presented, due to the missing SIM, so I continued to do some basic setups and "testing" the bare system. All went fine.
After that, I reinserted my SIM, powered the Z10 up and tried to copy the previous backup back onto the Z10, which was (another of course and obviously) not possible, due to mismatching SW-Releases.
So with the SIM inserted, connected to a WiFi and my mobile carrier, I once again checked for updates and voila, .4181 was available, this time having 359MB.
(--> BlackBerry just seems to provide the "basic emergency" OS, all further updates and releases are distributed through Your individual mobile carrier)
I initiated that download, went to bed to get at least a few hours of sleep and when I woke up, I did, what the display on the Z10 wanted: Restart the device.
The then following boot sequence was fast and smooth, reaching the 100% in just under two minutes, no freeze, no hangers, no being stuck.
There I had my bare device on which I could copy my previously carried out backup again in no time!
Of course I had to reenter the some passwords and the SMS were gone, but looking at the last days, I think this is the biggest progress of it all ;-))
THIS is how I did it. Of course I know that I defied against some of the most important rules and therefore I can and will not give You any guarantees that this "solution" will work unlimited, but considering my high level of frustration and how angry I was, these measures seemed legit to me and I can tell, they just worked fine! ;-)
the steps in summary:
- Backup all Data
- do a Security Swipe
- extract SIM
- reset to factory presets using BlackBerry Link
- re insert SIM
- look for provider updates
- install
- copy previous backup to device
- don´t worry
- be happy
PS: Don´t panic, if it takes longer or if nothing seems to happen. What I burnt mostly the last days, where minutes, hours and days
Thumbs up and fingers crossed. I hope this might help You aswell!
If it does, feel free to like this "solution" :-)
Paddy

Sorry for not being detailed enough.
I have Vista: Ultimate 32 bit edition. Everything works the stereo the 5. surround sound but the main things I did notice is that alot of the options like the crystalizer and various options wouldn't save. They would definately work just when I went into creative console to adjust some more they all went back to the default settings even though they worked and were changed earlier.
Whilst playing Call of Duty 2 it wouldn't use the EAX, I haven't tried other games . I would recommend staying with XP as of right now if you have uninstalled Vista and wait for proper drivers , there is no guarantee the way I installed or explained how to fix will work for you. Just as others before have gotten things to work with different steps to install they did not work for you, so mine not work for you. If you still have Vista installed then why not give my simple step a shot in my first post.

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs. How can I retrieve this capability? My audiobooks are from Audible.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

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:

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 do I fix activation failure for Creative Suite 5.5 when transferring from XP computer to Windows 8.1?.

How do I fix an activation failure for Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard? I uninstalled this from my old XP computer and re-installed it on Windows 8.1 two weeks ago. I am in NZ and got error message #129.17. I used the recommended fix of changing the time zone when I did the transfer and this seemed to work, but today when I tried to use Acrobat Pro I got the activation failure message with the same error code again. This time the fix doesn't seem to work. Is there anything else I can try?

Here is how I got Outlook and Q10 to sync

This isn't overly technical so work with me. The problem is images. If you have images (pictures) associated with contacts it will fail. In my case here is how I got it to work and I had 925 contacts.
1) in Oultook delete all images associated with each contact you might have
2) I then did exactly the same thing in by Berry contacts where I had associated images with friends or contacts.
3) deleted Faceboook and LinkedIn and Twitter apps.. . all of these apps try to link to your contacts and will import pictures which will kill the sync
4) deleted ALL my contacts from my Berry and reimported them. one way sync from Outlook.
5) scrolled through my entire contact list and where ever some picture had magically re-appeared, opened the contact, hit the 3 little dots and clicked on links and unlinked what ever the app was that was bringing in the picture. BBM llinks can exist and they don't mess you up withtheir pictures and they won't sync to Outlook anyway
also under settings I deleted all accounts except for my core account asscoiated with my contacts. This is the one that was my email account.. You can keep your BBM contacts.
Its a little harsh but I use my Berry for work so be deleting all the fluff such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter I was able to get it to sync and actually sync within a minute. If you need Facebook to survive then I guess you will have to get an iPhone.
I am sure there is a way that is more sophisticated than the above that allows you access to Facebook but after 5 months of whining and cursing that my contacts and calendar were a mess I decided to actually pay to talk to Blackberry and have one of their people help me fix it
Good Luck

The full res images made on the 1020 can only be taken off the phone through a USB connection with a PC. The OS itself is only aware of the 5MPx image.

Got through 2 Mighty Mouse's in just 4 months?

Am I the only one experiencing the tiny scroll ball packing up after just 8 or so weeks. I find that it starts to screw up scrolls. I can scroll up okay, but I have to really hammer it like mad to get it to scroll down a page. Not I've got through two of them and I have to manually drag down the page via screen as they just pack up too soon?
Any reason for these unreliable scroll ball issues or any way of fixing them?

It is difficult to create an item that can easily accommodate to the various levels of sweat and natural body oils that many different people produce, especially with such a tiny scrollball. A quick search of this forum will show others have similar issues. Many of us don't. I would suggest a regular cleaning schedule for your mouse, since you know that for some reason yours accumulates "something" quite rapidly and doesn't operate at maximum performance. Also a quick hand washing before computing may be in order to allow the mouse longer periods of time before cleaning. If mine appears the least bit sluggish I turn it upside ddown on my bluejeans and run it around on the scrollball a bit.

How to create an activity when system finds duplicate record!!

Hi CRM Experts,
I am working on CRM 5.0. We are uploading contact details to CRM through ELM.
Here My queries are:
1) How to create An Activity when system finds duplicate record?
2) By using ELM we can create BP with Activities and BP with Leads. But Here, my scenario is we have to Create BP with leads and Acivities. can any one help me on these areas?
Thank in Advance.
Sree

Hi Sree,
I can help you with your first query.
When the system finds a duplicate record then either the system stops working further or proceeds with the error free record.
So once the duplicate entry is found only the first record will be considered and not the second or the duplicate record.

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?

How to drill through from Essbase to Oracle in BIEE?
Edited by: Aaron Zhong Zhenhua on Oct 21, 2008 11:19 AM

Physical layer:
- Create a complex join between the Essbase generation and your detail table. E.g.: Gen6,Market = ATTRIBS.CNTRY
BMM layer:
- Go to the logical table "Market" (for example) and drag the ATTRIBS.CNTRY column on to the Gen6,Market column.
- Now pull over the other attributes from your Oracle table into the Market logical table...this will result in a second LTS within the sources.
- Drag and drop the logical columns you just got from Oracle on the lowest level of the Market dimension hierarchy. In this example, onto Gen6,Market.
- Alternatively, create levels below Gen6.
- Make sure your LTS have the correct content levels set
Presentation layer:
- Pull your chagnes through to your presentation catalog(s).
Should be all.
Hth,
