I'm a bit confused about the new Mail, Contacts prefs

Is anyone else a bit confused with all the new sharing features in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars panel? If I can create address book accounts directly, why would I need to share the "on my Mac" contact list?
Why is it that I can use the Microsoft Exchange for Google on my iPhone but it won't work in Lion? Has anyone gotten it to work?
Can anyone share how they have theirs setup and what do they use each one for?

Yes, you can create a new site, publish to MobileMe and redirect your domain name to it. More info on that can be had here:

FWIW MMe tends to be much slower overall and has no ear to ear support in case you need it. For a personal site it's OK but for a commercial site you would be better off on a commercial hosting server.

  • Confused about the new Creative Cloud

    Dear all,
    Since I read adout the new Creative Cloud I am confused about what is going to happen to my license for Adobe Lightroom. Are they going to still maintain the desktop applications as well or will I have to pay for a yearly license if I want to use the new versions of Lightroom?
    I am a casual photographer and I love using Lighroom for my pictures but I don't think that paying for a yearly license because I am not spending a lot of time editing pictures.
    Can someone clarify this for me?
    Many thanks,
    Lucian

    The CC is geared towards Pro users, schools etc. LR spans both Pro and casual users. So from what I can garner Lightroom will stay as it is for the next iteration at least. I quoted that bit as my opinion is that that is the very reason why Lightroom will be available outside the cloud with a cloud version available with intergration features with the rest of the CC suite.

  • Question about the new Mail shiped with Lion

    Hi,
    I've this quick one to the Dev's which have already worked with Lion's Mail.
    Would it be possible to do simple file copy from Snow Mail to Lion Mail ?
    I am not asking about the migration possibilyties during upgrade because my current MBP is a Core Duo one and therefore can't use them for Lion.
    My MBP 2006 needs to be upgraded soon :-) and will take place in the comming weeks. And I am wondering how to transfer my current mails to the new platform OS since Lion Mail is upgraded as well.
    Is the Filesystem Layout from Lion Mail the same as in Snow Mail which allows me to do a plain FS copy ?
    Thxs in advance

    Hi,
    I've just spent a good hour or so trying to work out how I can move my existing emails and mail accounts from my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) machine to my brand new iMac (Lion) machine.
    Have not had much luck.
    I copied over ~\Library\Preferences\com.apple.mail.plist and the files in ~\Library\Mail and ~\Mail Downloads.
    When I start mail in Lion, it asks me for new email account information so has no idea of my existing accounts.  Once I re-enter one of my email accounts, I get all my old folders but all the emails are missing....
    Is there a simple way to copy accross the accounts and existing mails.  I have tried the Migration Assistant, but I dont want to end up with a new account on the machine just to get the mail accross.
    I'm pretty sure I did the same process between two snow leopard machines and it worked fine....
    thanks for any help...

  • I'm a bit confused about the Personal Domain concept

    I've always had my own website, www.myname.com, which I've paid a monthly fee for hosting. Can I design my new website using iweb (I'm working on it and it's looking fine), and then use my 20 gig of mobile me space (or whatever I need) to host the site (saving the other hosting fee). Will someone be able to type in the URL "www.myname.com" and get to my iweb created site. Also, will it simply be forwarded to the mobileme URL, or will the address still read "www.myname.com". Am I getting this all wrong, backwards, upside down?

  • IAd Unit sizes: I am a bit confused about the file limits

    Say I have the bottom banner for iPad (hr) and full size iPad banner, what is the max iAdUnit size?
    Is it: 350kb for full size iPad banner (including all the images included on that page), + 200kb for the bottom banner
    Or how does it even work with sizes?

    It appears that Lightroom will warn you when your original file (or XMP sidecar) is out of sync with the Lightroom database. In other words, if you import an image with no metadata, then add metadata within Lightroom, the Lightroom database will have metadata that the file (or XMP sidecar) will not. That is what the warning is concerning.
    Nothing more, and no worries if you choose to ignore it. All current data would be in the database.
    Actually, I suppose it is a little more complicated than that, but basically speaking, there's nothing to worry about. That being said, if you edit metadata in an outside application, and then tell Lightroom to sync the folder, I expect the warning will appear because the file (or XMP sidecar) now has data that the Lightroom database doesn't. The point is still the same...
    Anyone with more than a day's worth of knowledge care to jump in and correct me?

  • Confused about the default schema

    Hi,
    I am a little bit confused about the schema concept.
    I want to create a new schema called APP and then create several users and roles based on the schema APP. The default schema for the users should be APP achema.
    How can I make the schema APP the default schema for the new users that I am creating?
    I feel that there are some schema design concepts that I have to learn. Is there any resource on the internet that I can read and learn more about oracle schema design best practices?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Ali

    A schema holds object definitions, and in the case of table & index objects the schema also holds the data.
    A user owns the schema.
    Therefore the user 'owns the definitions (including any functions, procedures, sequences, tabels, etc.)
    Other users may be granted access to some, or all, of the objects in a schema. This is done through the 'GRANT ...' command. For example, consider the following steps:
    1) create user app_owner
    2) create table object test owned by the app_owwner
    3) create user app_user
    4) grant select, update, insert and delete on app_owner's test table to app_user
    5) add synonyms to avoid needing to qualify the table's schema name.
    done as follows:

      3  account lock
      4  quota unlimited on users
      5  default tablespace users
      6  temporary tablespace temp;
    User created.
    Creating objects in a schema can be done by providing the schema name, or by switching schema in newer versions of Oracle
    SQL> create table app_owner.test ( t number );
    Table created.
    Create a userid that will access the table. Set that userid up to access the database and (for future) give it the capability to create it's own synonyms
    SQL> create user app_user
      2  identified by xyz
      3  temporary tablespace temp;
    User created.
    SQL> grant create session to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    SQL> grant create synonym to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    Now give the user access to the objects
    SQL> grant select, update, insert, delete on app_owner.test to app_user;
    Grant succeeded.
    Let's test it out. Insert by qualifying the schema name on the object, then create a synonym to avoid using schema, and try it all using the synonym

  • I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

    I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

    OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
    Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • I'm a bit confused about standby log files

    Hi all,
    I'm a bit confused about something and wondering if someone can explain.
    I have a Primary database that ships logs to a Logical Standby database.
    Everything appears to be working properly. If I check the v$archived_log table in the Primary and compare it to the dba_logstdby_log view in the Logical Standby, I'm seeing that logs are being applied.
    On the logical standby, I have the following configured for log_archive_dest_n parameters:
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_3='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_4='SERVICE=PNX8A_WDC ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_WDC'
    *.log_archive_dest_5='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_6='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_7='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    Here is my confusion now. Before converting from a Physical standby database to a Logical Standby database, I was under the impression that I needed the standby logs (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6 and 7 above) because a Physical Standby database would receive the redo from the primary and write it into the standby logs before applying the redo in the standby logs to the Physical standby database.
    I've now converted to a Logical Standby database. What's happening is that the standby logs are accumulating in the directory pointed to by log_archive_dest_6 above (/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1). They do not appear to be getting cleaned up by the database.
    In the Logical Standby database I do have STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT parameter set to AUTO. Can anyone explain to me why standby log files would continue to accumulate and how I can get the Logical Standby database to remove them after they are no longer needed on the LSB db?
    Thanks in advance.

    I assume you mean in your question, why on the standby database I am using three standby log locations (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6, and 7)?
    If that is your question, my answer is that I just figured more than one location would be safer but I could be wrong about this. Can you tell me if only one location should be sufficient for the standby logs? The more I think of this, that is probably correct because I assume that Log Transport services will re-request the log from the Primary database if there is some kind of error at the standby location with the standby log. Is this correct?As simple configure as below. Why more multiple destinations for standby?

  • Question about the new i5/i7 processors

    I have been wondering if anybody had a definitive answer as to whether the new i5 and i7 processors are the desktop chips or their mobile counterparts? I know previous gen imacs use mobile parts but I've heard conflicting reports about the new 27 inch imacs. Some people say they are using desktop parts now while others claim they are still mobile processors...does anybody here know? I can't seem to find the information because I'm not really a techie so I don't really understand intels system for identifying their processors. The reason I ask is I recently placed an order for the i5 imac, I was comparing some i5/i7 benchmarking tests and ultimately decided the i5 was more than up to the job...however, now I don't even know if I was comparing the right chips (I didn't know there were different versions of the i5 and i7). Also, I had some concern with the heat issue, from what I've read the i7 produces tremendous heat so I also factored that in to my decision. I know Apple makes quality stuff (I love my MBP) and they placed the GPU and CPU on opposite ends of the imac, AND it has 3 fans AND the back is basically a HUGE heatsink lol...but I still wonder if the heat will cause the i7 to have a shorter expected life than the i5?(which is also pretty hot I guess). I thought I had my mind made up but this is turning out to be a very confusing process for me. If heat will effect the life cycle with only a relatively small power boost I'll stick with the i5...but if the versions of the chips they are using are mobile or not going to have this problem than I don't know what to do lol. Also, could you replace the i5 with an i7 later on down the road? AHHHH....can somebody help I'm spending so much money here I don't want to make a mistake :/

    thanks for the help everyone. After reviewing all the information I think I'm gonna go with the i7...it will be $180 for me because of a student discount so in the end I guess thats not too much to pay for the increased speed and hyper-threading (which I probably will see no benefit from now but down the road...who knows). I had to cancel my order for the i5 anyway because after going into the Apple store last night to fondle the 27 inch imacs (which I hadn't seen in person yet) I realized I did not like the new keyboard ( don't get me wrong its a nice product but I use the Adobe CS4 software for digital art and animation so so lacking a numerical keypad for keystroke shortcuts is a little impractical for me).
    Since I had to cancel and reorder anyway I'm now thinking I may as well upgrade to the i7 and be done with the doubting my decision lol. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I will probably order today. Apparently the i5 and i7 have the same wattage so I guess if one will overheat the other will too so that kills that debate in my my mind.
    BTW if anybody has not yet seen the 27 inch imacs in person yet they are behemoths...beautiful behemoths. I can't wait to have that much canvas space to paint in Photoshop.
    Thanks again everyone.

  • Confused about the battery...

    Hello everyone,
    I'm from Pakistan and I just switched to Mac almost 2-3 weeks ago. Since, they have proper apple authorized dealers here so I finally decided to get one for myself. I had some confusion about the battery and my system and now I'm getting very much concerned and worried as a matter of fact.
    I installed coconut battery (as few people suggested me) to check my battery status. First of all, it shows the age of my Mac as 5 months, which is pretty surprising since I got a brand new one and even the condition is of a brand new one so I have no clue why did it say that.
    Secondly, I would like to tell the condition of my battery:
    Current Battery Charge: 3591 mAh (I'm using on battery power right now)
    Maximum Battery charge: 4068 mAh
    88%
    Current Battery Capacity: 4068 mAh
    Original Battery Capacity: 4100 mAh
    99%
    Additional info:
    Battery-Loadcycles : 12
    Age of your Mac: 5 months
    Charger connected: No
    Battery is charging: No
    I am just concerned that my battery current capacity decreased to 99% after just 12 load cycles. Why is that? Some people tell that they have a 100% even after using it for a long time and other than that does anyone have any idea why is the age being shown as 5 months when I have only used it for 2 weeks.
    I'm really confused.
    Another suggestion that I want is that in Pakistan, we are having major electricity load shedding so I can't keep it on AC power most of the time so if my computer is shut-down and being charged. If the electricity goes and when it comes back and it starts charging to the point from where it left, will that waste the load-cycle or will it continue to charge it from there without wasting cycle? Does that affect the battery life? (Assuming that the computer is shut-down while being charged)
    Last thing, should I use it mostly on AC power or is it better to charge it and then drain the battery and then charge it and then use. Till how much percent should I keep using on the battery power and then connect the Magsafe connector?
    Please help people
    I'd highly appreciate if you could answer my questions.
    Thank you.

    I was told that it is best to keep it plugged in and connected to the charger when you can, but if you are not able to do that then just use battery power. I just know you don't want too many cycles, which means you don't want to drain the battery completely then fully recharge it. You should calibrate the battery, which is pretty much just draining battery then recharging it, every couple of months if you keep it plugged into the charger and don't use just the battery often.

  • Confused about the 'cpu fsb clock frequency' setting, etc., in cell in bios

    just got a new k8n neo2-f nforce3 board with an a64 3500+ venice chip.  It is properly recognized in the bios and windows as an a64 3500+ at 2.2ghz, but I'm confused about the cell menu settings in the bios. I see a 'cpu fsb clock frequency' which was automatically set at 200mhz, but the fsb runs at 1Ghz (1000mhz), so what is the 'fsb clock frequency' if not equal to the cpu fsb?  Is 200 the correct setting for that?  Should I need to change any of the other settings in here?  I wonder, because my 3dmark03 score only went up 200 points from the same system with a AthlonXP 2500+ chip and kt4avl mobo, which seems like a low increase to me.....

    I would set that to Manual in BIOS, so that you can incremently increase the CPU speed without causing a sudden crash. Each system is different and operates within the specs of not only the CPU, but system memory and PCI-E add-ins as well. Your video card is the primary driver behgind your 3DMark scores...but you haven't listed that?!

  • Calendar component: I am a bit confused on the bean to use

    Hi all,
    I would like to use the calendar component.
    I have just read http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/how-tos/calendar/calendar.htm , http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31974/web_adv.htm#CHDIFFGA (paragraph 27.5) , the chapter 15 of the user interface developer's guide and I have seen the adf demo.
    I am a bit confused on the classes to use to manage the calendar. I can't find the class calendar model described on the manual and other links, while the adf demo uses a lot of classes: DemoCalendarActivityBean, DemoCalendarBean, DemoCalendarModelBean, DemoDateCustomerBean, DemoCalendarActivity, DemoCalendarModelWrapper, DemoCalendarProvider, DemoSingleProviderCalendarModel.
    First of all, I don't understand all the functionality of these classe, but the most important is that I don't understand the difference between DemoCalendarModelBean and DemoCalendarModelBean.
    If I define a table in my database, like described on the links/manual, what classes do I need?
    Thanks
    Andrea

    User,
    OK, now I'm completely, utterly, and totally confused.
    The sample application workspace that I downloaded from the how-to link you provided has a CalendarBean class, which is simply a managed bean. I don't see either DemoCalendarBean nor DemoCalendarModelBean. If you are using ADF Business Components as your model layer, you don't need to muck about creating calendar models. As the how-to says:
    An ADF Faces Calendar component must be bound to a CalendarModel class. This class can be created for you when you use ADF Business Components to manage your calendar's data. For example, say you have data in your data store that represents the details of an activity, such as the date, time, title, location, and owner. When you create an entity object to represent that data, and then a view object to display the data, you can drag and drop the associated collection from the Data Controls panel to create the calendar. JDeveloper will declaratively create the model and bind the view to that model so that the correct data will display when the calendar is launched. The [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31973/af_calendar.htm]web user interface developers guide secton on creating a calendar is pretty clear on all of the classes you have to create if you are not using ADF BC.
