Install iLife 06 now, or wait for my RAM?

I just bought iLIfe 06 and would like to install it onto my Mac right away, but I also just ordered 1 GB of RAM which could take up to 14 days to get here.
I really want to play around with iLife and try out all its fun new features (i'm upgrading from iPhoto 2 and iMovie 3, i don't think these apps were part of iLife back when I got my PB 3 years ago).
Can I install iLife right now (I am running with 384 mb RAM), or do I have to wait until I install my GB of RAM. I know it will run better with the RAM upgrade, but I just want to know if I have to wait to install it until my RAM comes. THANKS for your help!

Memtest is a very thorough memory tester, I'm not surprised it is taking quite a bit longer to test. I like to use the program rember, which wraps a nice graphical interface around the memtest program. Last time I used it, I fired up the test and let it run overnight. With rember (and I would assume native memtest), you can choose verbose logging, so you can watch the results as it tests the memory, or if you put it on multiple iterations overnight, you can read the test log in the morning.
You also have a memory test in your Apple hardware test program. Insert the OS X DVD that came with your system (it will say AHT Version x.x in small print on the DVD), reboot holding the option key down, choose Apple hardware test, and follow directions. When testing memory, choose the extended test.

Reset iPad and try again.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

"&" is not the obvious bug/answer. Not sure what went wrong as I cannot select albums and events for sync. Situation is worse for iPad and Apple TV when error 1140 message popped up even before backup get completed.

Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:

Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

Install SQL Express With MDT 2012 now or wait for SCCM and full SQL Server?

We are planning to get SCCM 2012 R2 in several months and it will come with SQL Server 2012 when it is installed and configured at that time.
If we would like to start experimenting with using a database in MDT 2012 now, can we go ahead and set up a database in SQL Express and start using it for deployments now or should we wait for SQL server?
Can the database created in standalone MDT 2012 with SQL Express be migrated to SQL Server 2012 and SCCM 2012R2 or would we need to start over with a new database when we get SQL Server and SCCM?

Using SQL Express should be fine. You can export the database from there and import it into a full SQL Server install later if you want to preserve the content.

Install Windows 7 now or wait for Snow Leopard (bootcamp 3?)

What should I do? I just received my RTM copy of Win7 and I'm debating whether or not I should wait for the Snow Leopard release to install it.
I wonder if it will be better supported with bootcamp 3. Any (quick) advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I definitely agree with Hatter, it was the easiest installation with Bootcamp I've experienced with a Windows OS and I'm currently running Leopard.

Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

Great article by HuffPost Tech.
The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
June 2007: original iPhone released
June 2008: iPhone 3G released
June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
June 2010: iPhone 4 released
June 2011: Nothing!
In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
So there is Reliable Source One.
Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

Apple has two prototypes out testing now. One is a thinner totally redesigned case. The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it. Hence the delay. The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals. If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5. If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

I received a pop-up advising me that update OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download, but it was fouled by something; it did not download/install. Now I ask for software updates and they tell me "no software updates available." Help.

I received a pop-up telling me that OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download/ installation, but something interrupted the process and it was not downloaded and/or installed. Now when I ask for software updates, I det the message that "no updates available." What do I do to get thei update?

If the installation didn't finish, maybe OS X 10.8.3 was installed partially, and it doesn't show up because the updater already updated the OS X version to 10.8.3, although it doesn't mean that everything was installed and updated. Just to make sure that everything is updated to the version included in 10.8.3, reinstall it with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

Buy MACBOOK now or wait for newer ?

I'm a student in college right now in need of a laptop and stuff. I'm not really looking for power as much as I'm looking for efficiency. My dilemma arises when I can buy a macbook with like -$100 or -$200 if your in college and stuff + a $300 iPod touch before september 15th or should i wait for the newer version of macbooks, which I heard will be released in mid-late september.
What is your opinion on this one? I can still live by and wait without a laptop as school just barely started so i barely need to talk notes and stuff...

Any resource you got saying they might be releasing new ones is pure conjecture.
Don't trust such resources.
Read what I have to say about new Macs:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=7116662
I think that you should not get a new MacBook now, because the fact that you "don't" need it now. Apple has not released any information about anything new, and they just released the new iMacs, MacBook Pros, MacBooks and MacBook Airs so I doubt that Apple will release any new computer products in the near future. Although Apple may surprise you, but I suggest waiting until you really need one, and then purchase it.

Installing Solaris 7 - timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

I'm attempting to install Solaris 7 on and E250. I'm using HyperTerminal connection via a null modem cable. I boot up the server and I see various harware init processes echoed to the terminal and then I receive this error: Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
I have connected the nic card to a network connection.
any help would be appreciated.
Steve

This is because you HAVE a network connection. You can resolve this with 1 of the following 2 methods:
A:
disconnect the network cable and reconnect when the installation process gets to the prompt for hostname.
B:
1. Get to the OK prompt
2. setenv diag-device disk
3. reset

Purshasing advice - Now or wait for fall?

Hello! I'm about to purchase my first Mac (15" MacBook Pro) after being a PC user for over 20 years. I've heard of the possibility of new updated MacBook Pros with or without lower prices. Looking for advice here... order now or wait until the fall (if it's worth waiting)? Has anyone heard anything about new MacBook Pro models? I hear rumours about an iTouch tablet, but little about the laptops. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to my first Mac!

Hi Sprunker,
As far as the CAD stuff goes, head to http://www.architosh.com for full coverage of such things on the Mac.
There are many programs that can save in .dwg format. http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/dwg/apple/ is probably a good start.
Even the el cheapo TurboCad Mac Designer 4 can handle .dwg.
I don't use "ACT" equivalents myself, but you may find the threads at http://www.ehmac.ca/mac-ipod-help-troubleshooting/13750-help-software-recommonda tions-crm-osx-solutions.html and http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=168960 useful.
Chances are you will be able to consign both Vista and bootcamp to oblivion in no time, get the benefits of a decent OS, and still do what you want to do in terms of software.
Cheers
Rod

Order one now or wait for restock

I live in West Harford, CT. My plan to go to the apple store at 8pm last night didn't work out. I called ahead and they said they had every wifi model in stock. In the 10 minutes it took me to drive to the mall they must have sold the last one of the model I wanted (32gb blk wifi).
Do I order an ipad right now and wait 3-4 weeks? Or should I just wait for one to show up at either the apple store, target, or best buy?
Are they apple stores even going to be restocked during the time I'd be waiting for an order to ship?

I went to the Apple Store at the Brea Mall in California. The line was enormous. Past experience told me that I would not get one if went to the end of the line.
Hopped on the Freeway and drove about 6 miles to an ATT. missed the last one by 10 minutes, they only had a total of 10.
Drove to a nearby Best Buy and got the 3rd to the last, 64GB Black.
I overheard that Best Buy is doing a pre-order today. You drop $100.00 and when one is available for you at that location they will call you.
Best of Luck,
