In need of advice/help.

I am having some serious issues with my MacBook.
First, I think it is overheating. I can not run my computer for longer then an hour without it getting hot. My keyboard is getting hot along with my charger. I am not sure if this is a normal MacBook thing but it is slowing down my computer is so many ways.
Another thing is I cannot run more then one application at a time. I am a graphic design major and I need to be able to run Adobe CS2 programs. For example, Say I am running In-Design and I need to make a fix in Photoshop, In-Design will quit. I have tried so many things to fix this but nothing works.
I have alot of problems of running Safari also. I am very dissapointed and frustrated and I need some advice.
Please. I have been having issues for awhile and thought it was just how these computers run, but I think I was mistaken. This is my first Apple computer.
Thank you for reading and your input.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Stacey, I pointed you to an app called Temperature Monitor that will give an accurate temperature reading of your MacBook.
Never EVER use your MacBook on a pillow or a blanket that can block airflow. I have no doubt that is adding to the problem.
Download and install the firmware updates as well as Temperature Monitor found HERE. That way we can know what temps we are talking about. There is no way to tell if they are high if you cannot give us a reading.

In need of advice&help PLEASE.

I'm not sure how long this is going to be, so please bear with me.
[I apologize if this question has been asked already].
I'm having major problems with my first gen. ipod nano.
I've had it since March 2006 [roughly], and it started failing me around Oct-Nov of 07. I had completely drained it and then left it uncharged for about a month-ish or so. I finally decided to charge it and when I did, I noticed that the Apple logo kept flashing and wouldn't stop, even when I unplugged it from my computer. After many failed attempts, I decided to do a restore, so everything on it erased.
Now, before I proceed [I don't know if this is going to be helpful or not...but just in case]:
I have a Windows XP, and an old USB port. The like...1.0 or 1.1? version.
Something along those lines. I haven't got anywhere on this computer a USB 2.0 port. When I restored my ipod I also downloaded the latest version of iTunes-- before, I had been running on a really old version, one from 2006. After I restored my iPod, I didn't see anywhere a pop-up or whatever asking me to rename my iPod. So now, when I try plugging in my iPod, my computer recognizes that I've plugged something in, and so does my iTunes, and it opens. However, my songs won't bloody sync! Is it because my iPod doesn't have an "owner" so to speak? Or is it because I have a new ITunes version but an old USB port? Could it be a combination of the 3? Mind you, I think I may have the ITunes 7.5 version or something. Today I tried my iPod again and it asked me if I wanted to download the 7.6 version. Just to give you a hint of what iTunes version I have.
I'm sorry if I come across a bit rude or impatient; this whole iPod thing has been driving me crazy. Pardon the length of the post as well.
One more question though: if nothing works, can I take my iPod to an Apple technician or...do I just need to get a new one?
I realllly hope someone can help me with all this! Thank you =)
...Oh! One more thing. How do I rename my iPod? I don't have a clue as to what to click.

*How do I rename my iPod? I don't have a clue as to what to click*
Connect your iPod to your computer
When (or if, considering the problems you are having) it appears in the iTunes source list click on it's name once to highlight it
Click on it's its name again.
The text box will open for editing.
Type a new name.

I need some advice/help.

In our current architecture for the portal we have 3 instances of the
portal; one for development, one for qa, and finally our production/live
system. All of the source code and html is on external web servers, but they
are all the same and are using a version control system to move and keep
track of the changes from the different cycles. So basically there is 1
version of the file that is shared between all branches ( dev, qa, live ).
Right now all of the content for the portal is all on external web servers
and they are all different servers. I need to come up with a good way to
dynamically have all the html files, including the ones for the desktop,
iwtUserInfo, banner and so on dynamically know or be able to get what
external server they are on.
The problem is that right now this information is hard coded into the html,
and it is becoming a huge problem trying to keep everything correct.
As an example in the
domains/myDomain/desktop/iwtUserInfoProvider/content.html which is on the
portal machine there are links that are pointing to external web servers. I
need a way to dynamically change those server links so that I dont have to
do it by hand everytime we move a file.
Any advice/ hints would be appreciated. I hope that I made sense.

Build a class into your IPS_BASE/lib directory with three static final boolean members {DEV, QA, LIVE} and either hardcode them to show the correct instance or use java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostByName() in a static initialization block to set them.
Then in your provider code use
if(MyClass.DEV) showDevHTML();
else if(MyClass.QA) showQAHTML();
else if(MyClass.LIVE) showLiveHTML();

put the phone in DFU mode (do a search for how to do this) and restore to the latest firmware. you may have to download the firmware from apple and when selecting restore or update in itunes press the shift key and select the firmware.
Hope this helps

Hai,
IDOC to JDBC (Staging table)
IDoc is pushed in to XI.
XI maps IDoc to staging table structure
XI does the look up of other database tables while mapping.
How to do the database look up???
XI inserts data in to staging table with the status new.
Scenario 2
JDBC to JDBC
XI selects the data from staging table.
XI maps the data from staging table to the Actual table.
XI inserts data in to the Actual Table and sends the status to SAP Processed successfully
If it fails in this mapping it needs to send the status as Error with the message to SAP
I want to do this as single scenario using BPM and I want to send status to SAP once the data is successfully loaded in to the actual table or it fails in mapping at any stage.
Need expertise advice to do this and how to do the database look up?

Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
public class ShoppingCart {
private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
private ITransactionService transactionService;
public ShoppingCart() {
     authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
     authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
public login(String username, String password) {
     String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
     return sessionToken;
private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
     bolean validUser = authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
     return validUser;
public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
}My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
thanks in advance
Raphael

Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
public class ShoppingCart {
   private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
   private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
   // and so on for all services I offer.
   // then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
   // and pass them through internally
   public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
        ls.login(username, password);
   public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
        // check session
        ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
   // and so on
}Multiple questions for this one:
1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.

ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

Need Network Advice: Multiple IP numbers.

Hello I need some advice on setting up my office's network. I have a small amount of network knowledge, mostly just setting up my home networks and our offices simple existing network. Right now we have Verizon internet. The network looks like this -
1 static IP -> Verizon Modem/Router -> 24port gig switch -> wired to 8 offices -> connected to 8 computers.
We are canceling Verizon and getting Comcast with 5 IP addresses. Our goal is to continue using a network like we have, but add a server on the side for clients and remote employees to drop files. We have 2 mac mini's ready for the task of being servers with OSX Tiger on them. I would like to set one or both of them up as FTP servers, so we can hand out login/pass info and people can ftp into them to drop stuff or pick stuff up.
Anyone have any advice for how to setup a network with multiple IP addresses? Do I need more than 1 router? Which router is best for Mac, because we will need a new one to replace verizons. Any advice on where I can find information on setting up the FTP server on our mac mini with Tiger? I've looked around, but I don't think the sites I found were using Tiger, menus weren't exact and I couldn't get it to work.
Thanks for the help!
Our office is ALL mac, 5x_8-core 2x_imac 2x_macpro 2x_mini

You don't need a "Gigabit router". It's way, way overkill (and $$$$$$) for your network.
The Comcast link is going to max out at about 15-20mpbs, so any router with 100mpbs links is going to be more than sufficient.
As it happens, I wouldn't get a router anyway. Comcast are going to provide you with a router (they need to in order to terminate the RG-58 cable connection they drop and provide an ethernet port (that ethernet port, BTW, will be 100base-T).
What you really need is a firewall. One that can handle multiple public IP addresses and allow specific incoming traffic (e.g. the FTP servers).
I would recommend something from NetScreen. You may be able to pick up one of their NetScreen 5GTs pretty cheap now they're end of life (I have several of these around my network, including one in the exact same configuration you're talking about here). Failing that the SSG-5 would be sufficient.
They also have the advantage of being able to run as a VPN endpoint should you need that functionality.
At the end of the day your network topology would look something like:
Comcast router -> (NetScreen) Firewall -> Switch -> Clients
All the clients will connect to the switch and can talk amongst themselves at gigabit speeds. Any internet traffic would pass from the switch to the firewall and out to the big bad world.

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

Dell Live! Value Soundblater card!!!! Need some advice

I have an old 400 that has this card installed model #CT4780. I have purchased a new Dell E30 and want to install this card in it. I have downloaded the driver pack Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe. This was listed on the website as the correct one for XP. I notice that in the old computer there is a cable from the card to the CD-Rom and also one from the card to the modem. Are these cables need in the new computer? Also will I have a conflict with the integrated sound card that came with the new computer? I have not done anything expect download the driver pack.
I know some about computers but do not like to install boards and new computers fearing some thing will go wrong. I need some advice and the procedure before I preceded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Newer operating systems, computers, & audio cards do not require the use of the cable from the CD Rom to the soundcard. It is now handled via the IDE cable. Being that you only upgraded half of this equation (that being the computer and not the soundcard), this may be a "trial & error" situation. I do not have the experience with modem cards to comment on that one.
Finally, you will need to disable the onboard soundcard via the motherboard's Bios. Look in the MB's manual to perform this action.

Need an advice in Oracle Application Server

Dear all,
I need your advice.....
What I have:
- 2 servers (Windows 2008 R2 64bit) .. planned as Application Servers
- Oracle 11g Database installed in a server
- forms (.fmx) , reports (.rdf) , compiled using Oracle 10g DS R2
- Oracle 10g Developer Suit R2
What I want:
- Install Oracle Application Server in the 2 servers available (Windows 2008 R2)
- make sure all (.fmx & .rdf) will work im these 2 servers
- take advantage of the powerful servers
What I did:
- Install Oracle 10g AS R2 in both servers
- configure webcache balance
What I faced:
- both servers worked fine except:
- (.fmx) files cannot be cached
- slow while opening (.fmx) files
- AGAIN, SLOW
ADVICE??
- Do I need to continue using this installation OR
- Is there any better installation & configuration that will help get (What I want:)
Kind Regards

Hi zzalabri,
I know i have replied it late,
Oracle Web Cache uses cacheability rules to store documents. These rules fall into two categories:
1)Rules for static content, such as GIF, JPEG, or static HTML files
2)Rules for dynamically generated content created using technologies like Java Server Pages (JSP), Active Server Pages (ASP), PL/SQL Server Pages (PSP), Java Servlets, and Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
How can I make my server caches .fmx files using webcache (( webcache is configured already but it says "URL contains query string"))..
The below link would be helpful for setting caching rules for Oracle Webcache
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B15904_01/caching.1012/b14046/cache.htm
Is there any configuration for Application Server 10g R2 AFTER the fresh installation OR it works as it is ..
The default installation is self tuned to handle a load of approximately 200 users(it depends on network as well as ur DB)
I knew for sure what makes my server slow, that is because of background images in fmb & fmx files. when I removed them it became fast enough.
In my environment,i used to staore all this images in gif format(images size max would be 50kb)then store all these images in a jar file and load this jar file through archive_jini(Formsweb.cfg)
Hope this would be helpful,
Regards

Songs disappearing. Need some advice.

I need some advice regarind my ITunes library. I spent a lot of time importing all my cd's. I now have approx. 14,000 songs now. First I had put them all in as mp3's, then I heard about the quality and smaller size of AAC. I think that is where some duplicates came from. But some how I've ended up with up to 6 of a lot of my songs, at least it is showing 6 copies of many of my song in my ITunes library. But when I go to delete all but one of the songs, through ITunes, sometimes it is fine and sometimes I get the ! icon. I guess even though I left one in Itunes it actually deleted all copies. I did not know I was doing this because it doesn't show the ! icon until you go back and try to select the song. This took days and days to deleted over 6,000 duplicates.
Now I'm finding some albums are missing songs and some are missing the whole albums even though they show in Itunes. I even have gone through and tried to "FIND" the songs some are really there but most are not. So how to I go about reconstructing the library. Is it best to try and find each one or just wipe (delete) my library clean and just reimport the entire library? I'm talking about reconstructing approximately 12,000 songs and I have no idea how many cd's.
I just would like to know how you guys would handle this. Thanks for your help.
