How many years do you typically setup in an HFM Application

This is more of a survey...
How many years do you typically setup in your HFM applications? Of this total, how many of these years are populated with historical data?

Originally we did 15/5. We are reimplementing with 15/1 and may add 2 more years of history data soon after launch.

How many years do you usually use a mac for?

I was just wondering how long many of you actually use a mac until you buy a new one.

It depends if and how Apple screws us.
For instance I had the PowerMac G5 Duallie with a 30" monitor and Steve Jobs announced the Intel processor swtich, two years later then wouldn't provide OS X 10.6 for my machine so I had to sell it while I could. So I lost about 5-7 years futher producive use of the machine.
Then the 2007 4 year old 15" MacBook Pro I had was working perfectly fine under Snow Leopard, but after I upgraded it to OS X Lion the firmware bricked the machine and Apple would refuse to pay to fix it.
It was their fault too, because Cupertino HQ was pwned by the 750,000 Mac Flashback botnet and OS X Lion was likely tainted by malware to cause such a massive amount of logicboard replacements that were required at the time.
It used to be that Apple (under Steve Jobs) would ignore older Mac's and OS X versions for security updates unless they ran the last two OS X operating system versions, but after Flashback they had to go back and fix so many machines they don't dare to that again.
But Apple has other ways now to force you to upgrade your operating system, especially AppStore as developers will tend ot make programs for the latest OS X version only.
It wouldn't be too bad to upgrade OS X but for the fact that doing so bricks so much of your third party software in the process, gives bad and unwanted features, and then tends slows one's machine down to a crawl as the newer OS X versions are created with newer hardware in mind, not older.
So Apple is basically leveraging more software features and iOS devices to force a faster hardware turnover rate so they can make more money. A lot of the features they are adding are not really used all that much a lot of it is just change for the heck of change and putting a new fancy paint job on the Apple hardware.
"Oh look new OS X, buy a new machine!"
So you have a choice to either keep up with the rapid Apple hardware cycle or buy a Windows machine that will last a decade or more per operating system version.
I know people who still have 10 year old XP machines and they are now getting 10 year life Windows 7 machines.
Apple seems to tie to much features to a new boated OS X version and forcing one to upgrade instead of using OS X and a base and adding new features on top of it if people want it or not. Mac's are laughed out of most corporate enviroments except for a few CEO's , top brass that remain off the networks.
So my turnover rate with Apple hardware since Steve Jobs return has been anywhere from 2-4 years on average, before that it was a lot longer, I could use a machine for a long time like 5-7 years.
I'm hoping with this 17" MacBook Pro lovingly taken care of that I can exceed 5 years, but it's not going to happen because Apple is going to drop support for Snow Leopard 10.6 and the newer operating systems are bloated pieces of ugly crap tied to AppStore/AppleID etc. so the erosion to personal privacy is absolute. They just do things and don't care about what users need or want, it's sickening they think they know what's best for everyone and you need to get aboard their way or tak ethe highway. It's so bad now that even Microsoft has gotten into the customer abuse game with Windows 8.
To reinstall OS X requires a fast Internet connection and I can't trust if the software hasn't been tainted along the way or not. What is wrong with proving USB instlal keys with every new Mac?
Glossy screens and unable to physically remove the storage for secure destruction.
I also don't like the threat that Apple is going to forbid installing software from outside sources, they are already doing everything they can to discourage outside sources, calling them malicious etc. We have been installing software from trusted outside sources for decades with no trouble at all.
They are doing everything possible to drive me and others away as customers and after 20 years I will be finally giving them the boot very shortly.
They can go on making computers only for children, but the Mac professional/power user is a dying breed.

How many times do you have to pay for Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

how many times do you have to pay for a Creative Cloud complete plan prepaid if it says an amount of money per year? do you have to pay that every year?

Perhaps the unclear part here is that the Cloud is a subscription offering. You never pay for it outright and never actually own it.
12 months pre-paid simply means paying the full 12 months subscription upfront. The following year, you do the same. And the same every year after that.
Like any subscription, if you want to keep using the software, you keep paying the monthly (or annual) fee every month (or year), year in, year out.
When you cancel your subscription, or it expires and you don't renew, then the software stops working.

You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum. If you're asking how often iOS gets a new version, that varies and the only public announcement is the pending release of iOS 6 this fall.

How many years can I expect to get out of a MBP?

Hi All,
I'm considering an Apple laptop. Being a graphics professional, I think I want to go with the MPB so I can run the Adobe CS4 Suite (et. al.) while away from my desk.
How many years of useful life should I expect to get (or plan to get) from a laptop? Barring any hardware failures or accidents, can I expect it to reasonably run CS4(+), OS10.5(+), font manager, etc., and connect to the internet etc. for say, 4-5 years? What's reasonable for a laptop's useful life?
Would I want to purchase the fastest processor(s) and biggest HD in the MBP? I'm thinking the 15-inch 2.66Ghz, 250G 7200rpm HD. Heck, my G5 only has 150G on its HD, and the dual 2Ghz non-Intel chip. Purchased in '04, it seems to still have quite a bit of life to it.
Thanks in advance for your advice--D
Or, should I consider something less powerful that can augment my desktop? I just want to be able to get away from the office every once in a while and still get some work done.

{quote}
Leopard requires at least a PowerPC G4 processor at 867MHz or faster, meaning G4 towers released prior to 2001 (and select models into 2002) don't meet the spec.
{quote}
Ah, I see. Yep, got it in early 2000.
{quote}
One question there, though - your G4 desktop was upgradeable, but did you upgrade yours? Add anything to those expansion bays? Put in a larger HDD? If you answer no to those questions, consider the fact that you may not ever upgrade a desktop you purchase in the future.
{quote}
Excellent point. I never upgraded the chip or anything, and eventually decided not to update/add to any of the memory (HD or RAM) because I felt I'd get better bang for my buck with a newer/faster machine altogether. I recently resurrected it to hook it up to our new TV to see if we could watch downloaded movies on it, which is what generated that whole conversation about it only being able to handle Tiger, as it's got 10.2 and needs to be updated to interface adequately with the Big Bad Internet World.
My G5 has become sluggish lately, and although I added another 2G of RAM it doesn't seem to affect it much. Back on topic, I wonder if I get the laptop will I grow tired of it or will it grow too slow in less time than the current desktop...
As eww so rightly points out in his reply, I guess I have to decide if I want the latest-greatest on my laptop, or can I live with using versions that the computer can handle. And, do I shell it out for the fastest/baddest, or will I get the same longevity (or lack) with the middle of the road machine.
For my professional software, my strategy has been to upgrade every other time, unless there's some new feature that will make my life absolutely heavenly. It seems like Adobe is slinging out the new versions faster than my budget can handle. Last summer I finally updated to the latest from Office v.X. And the only reason I did that is because my clients have been sending me text files in the latest Win versions of Office (docx and pptx) that I couldn't open. (And it's not good customer service to ask them to save them as txt files and resend.)
Typical scenario:
On my G5 I'm still using Tiger because I'm too cheap to buy the upgrade. (Every time I upgrade my OS I lose something--printer drivers, favorite features in my browser, font manager compatibility, whatever, there's always something I else need to upgrade besides the OS, always.)
Although I'm running Adobe CS3, I have the CS4 suite. CS4 will run on 10.4.11, but the font manager's auto-activation doohickey (which I would have to buy) for CS4's apps only works with OS10.5. So things potentially could get expensive. The only reason I have CS4 is because I bought CS3 a week before CS4 came out. The font manager (Suitcase) is really a lifesaver, and therefore it's pretty necessary. STOP the madness! LOL! (There's another font manager out there that is pretty good and cheaper, so that may be an option.)
Okay, I'm babbling now. I appreciate your wise words to guide my thinking. Time to get nose to grindstone so I can afford that nifty laptop!
Thanks--d

Q: How many Users do you serve w. your OES11-Infrastructure?

Reason for this - at first glance - stupid- question is the following:
We migrated (or Novell forced us to) from our low power (two HL DL360 G3 and 2 DL360 g4 one G5) 6.5 Cluster to a very juicy (6xDL360 G8, tons of proccessors) OES 11 cluster. We serve
approx. 1600 - 1700 Clients. Today everything stopped some of the Cluster Nodes didn't respond. This never happend in our old Cluster!
The reason was or IS by "Enterprise" Design:
DMESG: ipv4: Neighbour table overflow. !!!! Are we the only ones in the (small Novell) World who serves more than 1000 Clients???? WHY is there a limitation in the IP Cluster stack???
Did one EVER tested that. Should we better migrate to M$???
ip neigh show | wc -l --> shows 1021 entrys
sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 1024
Means one cluster Node can handle 1024 connections. What if on one Node runs the DNS server? Only 1020 of 1600 Clients get an answer! Cool enterprise solution boys!
VERY angry!

I'm sorry to hear about the lack of availability of the cluster nodes. I
am sure it is frustrating to have a system configured to be
highly-reliable (via clustering) to fail due to default settings. With
that said, this is a default Linux setting, and you're welcome to change it.
> Did one EVER tested that. Should we better migrate to M$???
I do not understand what you're asking.... did anybody test this on large
broadcast domains?
> ip neigh show | wc -l --> shows 1021 entrys
Wow, well that's quite a few. I think this number indicates something you
do not realize, though. While something like 'ss' or 'netstat' will tell
you how many layer three (IP) or four (TCP/UDP) connections your system
has, that number is not reflected by 'ip neigh', so usually the number of
clients your system has is limited in the list of neighbors by quite a
bit. For example, if I make a connection on my laptop (openSUSE, but same
default for my neighboring table) to Google, I can see that I have a fair
number of network connections total as shown:
Code:
me@mybox:~/Desktop> /usr/sbin/ss -planeto | grep -c ESTAB
61
but that's only tangentially related to the number of neighbors my laptop
sees:
Code:
me@mybox:~/Desktop> ip neigh
192.168.1.20 dev eth0 lladdr 00:1d:09:03:54:02 STALE
192.168.1.254 dev eth0 lladdr 00:1e:2a:74:66:35 STALE
192.168.1.1 dev eth0 lladdr f8:8f:ca:40:7a:1c REACHABLE
192.168.255.50 dev br8 lladdr ac:d3:58:ae:8e:ac STALE
How can that be? I have at least eight connections to unique remote
machines, so shouldn't I have at least eight listings in 'ip neigh'
output? The answer, of course, is 'no' because what you see from 'ip
neigh' are the cached addresses found via ARP, and ARP only matters within
the current broadcast domain, meaning on your local network before you hit
any routers. Even though I'm connected out to eight machines, all my
local routing table needs to care about (despite being VPN'd to a few
places and therefore having a few extra networks considered semi-local)
are the server, router, another router, and printer. Also, this number,
as you can see above, has entries become stale pretty quickly. I think
that time period is, again by default, something like thirty seconds,
since there is no guarantee from one second to the next that a given
server, workstation, or other node on the local network will still be
there. After something is stale the system just uses ARP again to see
what's still out there.
> sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3
> net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 1024
Yes, this is a default for the Linux kernel in general. You're welcome to
tune it using sysctl, or probably via Yast so that it is stored to be used
after rebooting (and for the nice simple UI, if you're into that kind of
thing).

> enterprise solution boys!
No, it means that a given box, by default, can handle 1024 connections
from the local network. A typical Class C network, for example, only has
254 possible nodes, so only 253 connections. I've seen enterprises do
some supernetting to get things like 1022 nodes possible in a network, and
sometimes even fill that, but that's it. I have been on networks that had
addresses handed out from a Class B-like range (172.16.x.x) or even a
class A range (10.x.x.x) but those networks never had 65k or 10M boxes on
them because when you get too far beyond a thousand nodes you typically
suffer a bit of slowness. In your case you not only have more than 1024
nodes, but all of them are talking to the same server at the same time on
that same network.
Can Linux handle more? Sure, you're dealing with the same OS that runs
most supercomputers in the world, many of them being large clusters of
computers all working together in a single network, so obviously the
potential is there; however, there are reasons that one does not allow the
kernel to chew up all memory for a setting like "how many neighbors do you
have cached right now" when, for 99.9999% of the world, that max number
is around 200 since this specifically deals with neighbors on the same
segment or broadcast domain, not neighbors meaning anything reachable via
IP. Doing otherwise, for example setting it to 1,000,000, means that
somebody who was clever could more-easily waste your system's memory via a
denial of service (DoS) attack by flooding the network with bogus ARP
entries. Every one takes some memory, and every one needs to be managed
by the kernel until it is expired and removed, and again those networks
needing more than 1024 to be remembered within any single thirty-second
period are pretty rare. Your network must be pretty awesome to handle
that number of concurrent systems in the same logical network without
degradation.
Regarding running a DNS server, that is a good possibility as a service
that would experience this problem assuming all of the clients were on the
same network as the DNS server itself. While possible, the number of
networks where I've seen that has been pretty small overall since usually
those machines (servers) end up in a DMZ somewhere to prevent
unauthorized, or at least unaudited, access.
> VERY angry!
You're right in that this limitation should be documented, and made quite
obvious wherever it is documented. The migration guide would make sense,
as that would be a place where a lot of assumptions about defaults would
be questioned due to the OS change. If you have a specific page in the
documentation where you read through and expected limitations to be called
out, please either submit feedback, perhaps linking to this thread to
provide the background that you experienced, or post a link here an I'll
do the same.
If there are any other defaults that you feel should be changed,
particularly for your environment, sharing those may help as well.
In the meantime, you can change your current settings by running the
following as 'root' if you have not done so already:
Code:
cp /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.conf-`date +%s`
cat << EOM >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# Setup higher threshold for arp
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 2048
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 1024
EOM
To apply the changes either run 'sysctl -p' (from memory I think that's
the right command) or else reboot the node, then perform again on other nodes.
Good luck.

Bought a MacBook in June - How many years of OS Updates?

Hi -
I bought my MacBook Back in June.
Someone was telling me that as far as new version of the Mac OS and related software goes, My MacBook should be able to handle the new versions of Mac OS X for about five years. I have a MBP 13", i7 and 8GB of RAM.
I am curious -
Typically speaking, how many years of updates and new releases of Mac OS X should my MacBook be able to handle? I plan to keep it up to date with the latest versions of Mac OS X, but I am curious as to how many years of releases it should be able to handle, or historically speaking - they have been able to handle.
Any advice is appreciated.
I spent a good amount of money for my MBP, and I just wanted to see how long this investment (being the laptop) should be able to keep up with the latest software.
Thanks.

Great to hear that I should be able to accept OS X Upgrades for a good five years! Very pleased to hear that.
Apple releases a new OS X version every couple of years on average, except in the case of Mountain Lion which was issued a mere year after Lion because of Flashback malware.
So that should be about 2.5 upgrades over 5 years, which 10.5 era issued machines which are running 10.8 are rather slow, 10.6 era issued machines fare a lot better on 10.8 depending. 10.7 era machines on 10.8 are having no problem.
It all has to do with the processors actually, and it's a educated guess based upon years of experience.
Why don't you recommend any OS X Upgrades without 3 years of AppleCare?
Because driver or firmware upgrades can brick or cause serious issues with older hardware and if your not under AppleCare, then it's a out of pocket repair which is costly (if they will fix it at all) and money better spent on a new machine.
But if the machine bricks under AppleCare, and they can't fix it, they may give you a refurb that is comparable and they usuallly only have the more recent machines refurbed, not the older ones.

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

Hi colman Prez;
Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.

How many times can you transfer music

Hi,
Over the last few years we have had laptops breaking down and have had to transfer music and I was wondering how many times can you transfer from computer to another computer?
Please help because at the moment I am slightly confused!

Once you no longer use a machine, you are deactivating the iTunes library on that computer, right?
You have 5 total simultaneous activations per music library managed by a single Apple ID. As long as you deactivate unused systems, within that limit of 5, you can transfer at will.

How many years can an Ipod Touch last?

Hello,
I have a year old 16g 2nd Gen Touch. Was wondering how many years
an Ipod Touch will last for. I realize you only get a certain amount of
charge cycles but was hoping that my Touch would last for a few years or more.
I realize that due to the nature of this device I will not be getting the same
number of years that my Nintendo DS has (still working fine after being
almost 5 years old). I also charge my Ipod Touch daily due to the fact that I use
the wifi and play games. I make sure to turn off the wifi when not using wifi but usually do not get much battery usage on a charge due to using it just for those
2 things. I did not get the extended warranty. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Like already mentioned, there really isn't a definitive answer to your question. I also have several iPod models (2 2nd gen nanos, 1 1st gen nano, 1 shuffle, 1 30 GB Classic, and a 3rd gen iPod Touch). Since the Touch is only 1 day old I can't say how it will hold up, but all of my iPods are still working, although the 1st gen nano has horrible battery life at this point. All of them are at least 2 years old. Until earlier this year I also had a iPod Mini that was still working and it has been years since they made that model. There are too many factors to consider when it comes to trying to predict the life span of your iPod.

How many years we can store the data in ODS as well as psa data ?

Hi guru's
how many years we can store the data in ODS? can u give particular years ?
how many days we can store the data in psa ? could u tell me step by step procedure ?
Thanks
Reddy prabha

Hi Prabhakarreddy,
As many days as you like:
In the PSA you can keep data as long as you like but you will need more and more disk-space. So its advisable to clean up from time to time.
Example:
PSA's from full loads Clean up in a weeks time,
PSA's from Deltas: Clean up after you are sure data is correct. (e.g. a month or 90 days)
Remember that you cannot do a reconstruction from dataloads of which you have deleted the PSA. If some thing is wrong you will have to do an Init again!
In ODS's you must keep data in order to keep your delta loads to cubes in order. Removing data will force you to do a new initial load.
Sometime companies delete old data form ODS's that is older than a certain period (e.g. more than 3 years old) by running a selective deletion. You will have to do an init again. But loads and activation may run faster and of course you gain on disk space.

How many years will my PowerBookG4 still work?

I Have a 2001 PowerBookG4. The battery is dead, but it works with the charger. I'm wondering. How many years will it still work? What can I do to help? It's really old, and I won't lose it =\. Thanks.

My 2003 PowerBook G4 1Ghz is still working flawlessly. I treated to to a new battery about a years ago.
A friend has three circa 1998 PowerBook G3 "Wallstreets" that he uses every day. All three are running Panther 10.3.9 with the help of XPostfacto. I upgraded the hard drives to more modern 5400 rpm drives of 40 and 60G, and maxed the RAM on two to 512MB. They won't die.
With care, it's likely that you'll run out of software support before the hardware caves. That;s what my Wallstreet friends is discovering.
