HT4889 This article should mention stuff you need to know after migration is done

This article should mention stuff you need to know after migration is done, such as why MA makes "from old Mac" folders, for example
  XYZ (from old Mac)
alongside the
  XYZ
folder?
And why after migration onto a clean system are there both of these:
  /Users/xyz/
  /Users/xyz 1/

It might be helpful if you posted a link to the article.

    I take it you were replacing an older iPhone and this was the first time you plugged it in? If so, that's what happens. It restored the backup of your old phone. A backup of the current phone is not made in those circumstances.
    If that's not what happened, you need to clarify.

  • What you need to know before buying an antenna

    Isn’t it time you upgraded to an antenna? Wait… what? Upgrade to an antenna? Whether or not you’re a cord cutter (meaning you’ve cancelled your monthly television service) you might find that adding an antenna to your entertainment viewing space can be a great upgrade for a variety of reasons. Whatever those reasons are, here’s what you need to know before buying an antenna.
     

    I don't set out to sell anything, I'm an independent writer tasked with writing stuff about things to inform people. We link stuff to help people find things if they want to buy them, but the above isn't a sales pitch, it's info to help people figure out if they want or need something. 
    I didn't know that there was a cabal of antenna dealers who have been promulgating a myth (as a writer: nicely done there) about the nature of NTSC and ATSC; I hadn't ever considered that the antenna market was that large. When I received the request to write an article about antennas I was actually surprised; antennas don't have the support of major telecommunications companies and I sincerely doubt that there's going to be a run on them because of this article. I saw this as a bit of a public service opportunity to talk about a technology that a small segment would be interested in. 
    Anyway, I'm not sure we're going to get much farther on this; yes Best Buy sells antennas, but no, they didn't ask for an ad. They asked for an article that focused on how these antennas work and what to look for. Thank you for adding your insight about ATSC - I think that was actually covered in paragraphy three, but it's nice to see it spelled out more directly.
    Have a nice day - and if you'd like to discuss this directly, please send me a DM on twitter @thetechnogram

  • Things You Need To Know about old= New iMac

    1) Your HP All-In-One printer/scanner/copier - will it work with this new Leopard iMac? Maybe. I struggled with the all-in-one Printer Scanner Copier PSC 2355 for hours, and that includes reading the discussion forums on Apple's website. Apple support will tell you to call HP. HP will tell you to call Apple, or to check back for updated drivers. This was unacceptable. I finally crossed my fingers and loaded HP drivers for "Tiger", the previous OS version. Hey, the PSC 2355 works perfectly. Hope you have success also.
    (2) PPT and PPS files in email. If you do not have Microsoft Office and PowerPoint, you need to know this: iMac comes with a trial version of Keynote and a trial version of PowerPoint software. If you receive a PowerPoint slide show from a friend, and you click on it to view it in Mail, Keynote may open up, for the first month or so. But if you don't buy keynote, this will eventually stop working. If MS PowerPoint opens up, same trouble - it may work a month or so. On my machine, the trial version actually locked up the iMac at the "Splash Screen". And if you don't buy Keynote, MS PowerPoint or MS Office for Mac, then your last hope for seeing PPT and PPS files is "Quicklook" which doesn't step through slides one at a time, but presents them as a long document. Not so great. Our solution was (A) delete the trail versions, and (B) buy a family pack of iWork and then everyone gets Keynote. Too bad the PPT and PPS music doesn't work.
    (3) Moving old iMac (circa 2001) files to new iMac. This worked very nicely and seamlessly - all the music, photos, passwords, bookmarks, email moved smoothly from old iMac to new iMac. Only thing is... I think some old crap also moved. Old stuff that will never work in Leopard such as OS 9 apps and games. Even found some old fonts moved. THUS, we received an error "Helvetica narrow substituted for Helvetica which is corrput". Apple support was useless, telling me to reinstall the entire system, which did not solve the problem. After reading Apple discussions, someone suggested copying the fonts from the system folder to the user's library folder. Problem goes away, all is well.
    (4) Thus, once you get these kinks worked out, you will LOVE this new iMac. built in camera, mic, fantastic screen and color rendition, fast processor, wonderful iLife apps, and the whole experience. Hope my comments help you transition into your new Mac Life.
    John C

    I have my Mini Mac with Leopard 10.5.1 for about 3 weeks. My learning curve looks like a dead man's EKG, thus my simplistic question: OpenOffice or NeoOffice? I basically write and have old files rescued from my Windows 98 written in Word 2000. For my purposes, is one office program preferable to the other?
    Thanks.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.

  • What are the main COPA principles in manufacturing you need to know?

    Hello
    What are the main COPA principles in manufacturing you need to know?
    thanks

    Mr Comandante,
    Which exactly is the information that you are looking for ?
    It does not matter which strategy of manufacturing you are using. At the end of the period, the differences between the comparison of the planning costs with the actual costs can be taken to COPA, to be reflected as Inefficiency or differences in Production.
    If you are using discrete (Make to order) or Process Manufacturing, you need to configure in the profile of the settlement of the order a profile for COPA.
    If you are using repetitive manufacturing in the collector of cost.
    Please feel free to ask for any further information that you want, mi estimado amigo

  • Which two operattions do you need to perform after restoring---QNo.106

    In your database, all the tablespace are locally managed. You started RMAN using recovery catalog and restoring the contol file by using the following command:
    RMAN>RESTORE CONTROLFILE;
    which two operations do you need to perform after restoring the control file from backup?(choose two)
    A. shut down and restart the instance
    B. add new tempfiles to the temporary tablespaces after recovery
    C. perform a media recovery and open the database with the RESETLOGS option
    D. perform a media recovery and bring the database to NOARCHIVELOG mode

    This question is a little ambiguous.
    C is a correct answer when restoring a control file

    Restrictions and Usage Notes for RESTORE CONTROLFILE
    After you restore a backup control file, you must run RECOVER DATABASE and then open the database with the RESETLOGS option.
    B. If you were restoring a database from a backup you would need to create the temp files because temp files are not backed up.

    Just that, some customers don't know English and I've seen a lot of articles with that support. This one should have the same.

  • Nokia 5233 Storage Question. You need to know this...

    Hi, I'm not new to Discussions. PLEASE NOTE BEFORE READING THIS THREAD: I've digged EVERYwhere you can think of, so please have in mind that I come here because I really need to know this, I don't want to double-post anything or start a spam war or something. Thank you.
    I was facing problems with my device, Nokia 5233. Sometimes the phone asks for too much time to do a simple task, and I have tried to defragment the memory card to see if it helps, but in the end it made no difference at all.
    After that, I was recording a video and it went just fine. The problem happened later on, when I decided to view the video and it was lagging the image. I mean, the image was freezing sometimes but the audio was OK. I recorded another video after that and it had the same symptoms. NOTE: THE MEMORY CARD WAS WITH 1GB+ OF STORAGE REMAINING AVAILABLE TO BE USED.
    This is about the stock memory card that comes with the cellphone, 2GB storage capacity, Micro SD card.
    After I was told that this is a symptom of the memory card, I wonder if this is supposed to happen with the card that comes with the cellphone. I was **bleep** because I REALLY f***ing need those videos and this turned out to be a real nightmare because when I tried to back up my data using Nokia's software, I ended up with a corrupted file, it was supposed to be a BACKUP and the software just MOVED my SMS messages from the cellphone to my computer and I now can't move it back to the cellphone. But here, my deal is the memory, I changed it to another, higher capacity card, a Kingston Micro SDHC 4GB memory card. And still, I'm facing another issue:
    I want to know what is the REAL extended memory capacity for Nokia 5233
    I ask this because after googling about it for a few hours, I've found so many different opinions...First a guy said it's best not to upgrade the amount of memory at all, because of my device's limitation, second I read somewhere else I can upgrade the amount of memory up to 8GB and the phone "will still recognize it" and then just when I thought I was done with it, I have talked to Nokia Care on Twitter about it and they said I can be facing 'compatibility issue' with it.
    According to his statement, "Unsupported memory cards may just work for small sizes of data, but might give issues wt bigger amounts, depending on the mmc".
    That explains the issue with my cellphone's default video recorder/player. But then, again, Is that supposed to happen with a stock memory card?! I guess it's NOT, is it?
    AND THEN, AGAIN, NOTE: THE MEMORY CARD WAS WITH 1GB+ OF STORAGE REMAINING AVAILABLE TO BE USED.
    So, AFTER recording a 71MB video file, I was viewing it again, kinda hoping it was happening again because this time, it is a 4GB of memory.
    I now decided to dig a little bit using Wikipedia, and then I found what I was afraid of:
    "Devices that use SD cards identify the card by requesting a 128-bit identification string from the card. For standard-capacity SD cards, 12 of the bits are used to identify the number of memory clusters (ranging from 1 to 4,096) and 3 of the bits are used to identify the number of blocks per cluster (which decode to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 blocks per cluster).
    In older 1.x implementations the standard capacity block was exactly 512 bytes. This gives 4,096 × 512 × 512 = 1 gigabyte of storage memory. A later revision of the 1.x standard allowed a 4-bit field to indicate 1,024 or 2,048 bytes per block instead, theoretically yielding up to 4 gigabytes of memory storage. However the specification specifies 2 gigabytes as the maximum capacity.
    Host devices designed before this change may incorrectly identify such cards, usually by misidentifying a card with less capacity than is the case by assuming 512 bytes per block rather than 1,024 or 2,048.
    For the new SDHC (2.0) implementation, 32 bits of the identification string are used to indicate the memory size in increments of 512 bytes. The SDCA currently allows only 26 of the 32 bits to be used, giving a maximum size of 32 GB. All SD cards with a capacity larger than 4 GB must use the 2.0 implementation at minimum. Two bits that were formerly reserved and fixed at 0, now called the "CSD Structure", are being used for identifying the type of card, 0 is standard capacity; 1 is high (SDHC) and extended (SDXC) capacity; 2 and 3 are reserved. Older host devices are not aware of this new field thus cannot correctly identify SDHC or SDXC cards."
    Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_sd_hc
    So in other words, it can be that my device does not recognize my Kingston SDHC 4GB Micro DS Card correctly. Oh I mean the STOCK, 2GB Micro SD card. And POSSIBLY my Kingston SDHC card.
    Is that correct?
    What is the storage limitation for Nokia 5233?
    Please answer this guys, I hope we can share the knowledge to anyone else who's planning to upgrade the memory for their Symbian-based smartphones.

    I don't mean the card class, I just meant the card type. Nokia is SUPPOSED to work out with majority of the cards out there, specially Symbian devices, so you can take the card off of your previous Symbian-based cellphone and then USE IT on another Symbian-based device, regardless if it is SD or SDHC.
    Look, I just want to know these:
    What is the storage limitation for Nokia 5233?
    Is Nokia 5233 supposed to work with SDHC or not?
    Simple as that.

  • Upgrading From XP - What you need to know

    Hi,
    As many of you are aware, support for Windows XP ends on April 8th 2014.
    What does it mean?
    End of support means that Microsoft will no longer issue Windows Updates for XP to maintain the security and integrity of the Operating System.
    Do I Need to Upgrade?
    If you are currently using Windows XP for every day activity then it is recommended to upgrade to a supported version of Windows to ensure you are receiving important security updates for your operating system.
    In addition to updates, you may also experience compatibility issues with new hardware such as a new printer, document scanner, webcam etc. Most vendors will also move away from writing XP compatible drivers.
    I subscribe to security and antivirus software, Do I need to upgrade Windows?
    In short, Yes. While these antivirus and security packages do a good job in most cases, they do not unfortunately provide the relevant necessary security updates to maintain the integrity of the operating system. In fact most antivirus packages are reliant
    on the operating system updates to maintain security.
    Must I Upgrade To Windows 8?
    This is a personal choice. Windows 8 is the latest Microsoft operating system, you can also upgrade to any supported operating system such as Windows Vista, Windows 7 or indeed Windows 8. The only obstacle is to find a vendor that still sells licensing for
    the older products.
    How can I check If My Computer Is Ready For Windows 8
    Windows Upgrade Assistant will assist you to check your computers compatibility with Windows 8
    Here is a summary of the system requirements:
    Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
    RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
    Free hard drive space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM drive
    I don't know if my computer is 32bit or 64bit
    You will be glad to know that Windows 8 comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
    To see whether a PC running Windows XP is capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows, do the following:
    Click Start.
    Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, your processor is capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows.
    If "x86 Edition" is listed then its a 32bit installation
    Where can I get Windows 8?
    Your local computer store should be able to assist you with a copy. Windows 8.1 is the current version.
    You can also use the
    Microsoft compare and decide website to determine which version you require and select the buy now option for online purchase.
    How Do I Install Windows 8?
    It is important to note that upgrading from XP to Windows 8 will not retain your files. You should back up your files prior to upgrading either by using an external hard drive, or using
    Sky Drive which is Free
    Microsoft's Put Together An Upgrade Procedure From XP/Visa to Windows 8
    It is also important to note that installing from DVD will require your system to have a DVD drive or if purchasing online you will need a DVD writer drive to write the installation DVD prior to installation.
    Feel free to ask any questions which are not covered above.
    Regards,
    M

  • Things you need to know about 6280

    Hi everybody, I used to have a 6680 and I say this with regret. Why? I gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. Now that was a good sturdy functional phone. Now I bought a 6280 from Vodafone. I wanted a N70 but the Vodafone representative recommended this one. I chose to go with the 6280 because the N70 looked a little bit too fragile. She also said there are no significant differences. Well, she couldn’t be more wrong. Let me tell you why. The first thing I should mention is that 6280 is not a symbian phone! This, for who knows what it means, it is a lot. I wasn’t aware. You cannot switch between applications for one. So now since I bought it, I gave it a go, see what it is all about. Nice graphics, big screen, no problems (I read here somebody had some). The first annoying thing that hit me is the back light. Goes out in an instant. Or 10 seconds they say. Depends on how you measure time. The problem is you cannot adjust that. Neither the contrast. Nor the luminosity. Some people find these features useful. Nokia seems doesn’t. Some people said on this forum that the sliding front does not have a good grip. Mine seem to do. Navigating through folders is somewhat frustrating but this is subjective. Another thing you should know is that you cannot set the memory card as the default storage space and the phone memory is small. Just about 5MB free with … nothing on it. But I guess you can get around that and be happy with what you have. Now for the real problems. One big issue for me was synchronizing with Outlook. I got it working in the first try. No problems there. But when checking the contact list on the phone … well, disappointment. The 6280 does not record company name, job title and birthday. This is a huge problem for somebody well organized like me. Birthdates are saved in calendar but they do not show up in the contact details. Try finding a birthday through the entire calendar! Second thing that got me down is that the contact phones have no area codes. This you might say “well, it’s ok”. Not if you modify something and then you get your contact updated in Outlook with no area codes. Again BIG problem. My second frustration was with the email accounts. It was hell to figure out how to configure and then I realized. If you have multiple email accounts … you should get another phone. 6680 is good. I assume any symbian enabled phone will do. Not this one. You cannot have all the emails grouped or in separate folders at least as it is on s60 phones. No. here you have to go to “Menu – Settings – Configuration – Personal Config Settings – select other email account and activate it”. Then you go back and go into the email folder. Good job Nokia! I think they could have found a worst sequence to do it. Also, get this, I assume (99% I know) that the emails get stored in the phone memory. You have no way of moving to memory card and no way of reading office or pdf files. Note that on symbian there are applications to do it. As for the battery, I don’t know yet. It did not last one day anyway but I gave it a good run and I know it will improve after several recharges. The good things I know about this phone is that the video has a good quality. I cannot say for pictures because I do have a professional digital SLR camera and I cannot compare without being mean. It is still a phone. The radio is average. Good enough I say. Small note to end this. The phone should have predictive text input. Should, because it is not in the menu. A problem that a firmware update should resolve. I don’t know to what version since I might have the last one. It is: v 03.60 10-02-06. I would buy another model. If you are like me, pay attention to all I had to say. Cheers!

    Good posts a lot of information I needed or to know, or more so wish I'd known prior to purchasing the 6280. Came across this post while trying to find resolutions to a number of the 'problems' with this model that you've listed, or for accuracy's sake functional and features missing from this phone or poorly develop, in comparison to other models.
    Fact: One 'bug' that hasn't been raised in these posts is the management of a contact thumbnail's through PC Suite does work. Adding a thumbanil on the PC doesn't appear on the phone, and adding a thumbnail on the phone doesn't appear on the PC.
    Oppinion: The lack of management/handling of Company name & Birthday were the killer for me!
    Fact: Also I've only had the phone about 2 days now and I've had it just stop and mysteriously restart on me about 4 times. Admittly I've been using it a lot but not doing anything out of the ordinary to expect that.
    Oppinion: On the plus side the screens resolution great, and the photos very good for a phone. Neat little cropping tool, but nothing to rotate. Although the camera doesn't have a protector the case can be replace fixing and scratches! The phone is generally pretty responsive, boots and shuts down very quickly too.
    Oppinion: I'm probably being over critical here but the video call's camera at half arms length barely shows your whole face, at full arms length it's 'closer' to what you'd see on a passport. Although at this distance viewing the person your calling is more difficult. The phone has a good digital zoom in-out feature during a video call. But given the small portion of you shown under normal circumstances I don't imagine this would get used often. Admittly it was entertaining to keep the phone where it was and zoom in on my eye, but it's entertainment value will wear off (or maybe i could call me iridologist).
