Is 17" too heavy/large for an MBA student?

I will enroll in a business school this year and would like to buy a MBP 15" or 17" for that purpose. My desktop is a 17" lcd, and i feel comfortable about that size, but am worrying about the weight and size of a 17" MBP. any users out there? Will the size be a problem for carrying and using at cafes, dorms and classrooms? thank you !

I have had both. The 15.4" is great but the 17" stole my heart and soul! Better sound and the extra space is a plus also seems faster in some procedures. If you have the bucks "I" would spring for the 17". Check it out in the store "before" you buy and make sure your hinges are firm enough to suspend the display.
Check for the whine/hiss. Make sure you do this in a quiet part of the store.
Good luck in school.

  • Oracle Error 1801 - "Date format is too large for internal format"

  • I have a 500 GB hard drive and a 1TB Time Capsule running on a MacBook Pro.  It was all working well until the MacBook went in for a repair a week or so ago.  Since then, TC will not perform a backup;  instead, it says the backup is too large for the disk

    Since having my MacBook Pro repaired (for a video problem) Time Capsule returns the following message:  "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 428.08 GB but only 192.14 GB are available."
    I notice that there is also a new sparse bundle.
    Since TC has my ONLY backup (going back about 4 years) I am reluctant to wipe it and start over fresh as I am afraid of losing files. 
    Is there a way of dealing with this?
    I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    The repair shop likely replaced a major circuit board on your MacBook Pro, so Time Machine thinks that you have a "new" computer and it wants to make a new complete backup of your Mac.
    You are going to have to make a decision to either add another new Time Capsule....or USB drive to your existing Time Capsule....and in effect start over with a new backup of your Mac and then move forward again.
    For "most" users, I think this is probably the best plan because you preserve all your old backups in case you need them at some point, and you start over again with a new Time Capsule so you have plenty of room for years of new backups.
    Or, as you have mentioned, you have the option of erasing the Time Capsule drive and starting all over again. The upside is that you start over and have plenty of room for new backups. The downside is that you lose years of backups.
    Another option....trying to manually delete old backups individually....is tricky business....and very time consuming. To get an idea of what is involved here, study this FAQ by Pondini, our resident Time Capsule and Time Machine expert on the Community Support area. In particular, study the pink box.
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html
    Once you look through this, I think you may agree that this type of surgery is not for the faint of heart.  I would suggest that you consider this only if one of the other options just cannot work for you.

  • Cannot decrypt RSA encrypted text : due to : input too large for RSA cipher

    Hi,
    I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted String ... plzz help
    I have the encrypted text as a String.
    This is what I do to decrypt it using the Private key
    - Determine the block size of the Cipher object
    - Get the array of bytes from the String
    - Find out how many block sized partitions I have in the array
    - Encrypt the exact block sized partitions using update() method
    - Ok, now its easy to find out how many bytes remain (using % operator)
    - If the remaining bytes is 0 then simply call the 'doFinal()'
    i.e. the one which returns an array of bytes and takes no args
    - If the remaining bytes is not zero then call the
    'doFinal(byte [] input, int offset, in inputLen)' method for the
    bytes which actually remained
    However, this doesnt work. This is making me go really crazy.
    Can anyone point out whats wrong ? Plzz
    Here is the (childish) code
    Cipher rsaDecipher = null;
    //The initialization stuff for rsaDecipher
    //The rsaDecipher Cipher is using 256 bit keys
    //I havent specified anything regarding padding
    //And, I am using BouncyCastle
    String encryptedString;
    // read in the string from the network
    // this string is encrypted using an RSA public key generated earlier
    // I have to decrypt this string using the corresponding Private key
    byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();
    int blockSize = rsaDecipher.getBlockSize();
    int outputSize = rsaDecipher.getOutputSize(blockSize);
    byte [] output = new byte[outputSize];
    int numBlockSizedPartitions = input.length / blockSize;
    int numRemainingBytes = input.length % blockSize;
    boolean hasRemainingBytes = false;
    if (numRemainingBytes > 0)
      hasRemainingBytes = true;
    int offset = 0;
    int inputLen = blockSize;
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < numBlockSizedPartitions; i++) {
      output = rsaDecipher.update(input, offset, blockSize);
      offset += blockSize;
      buf.append(new String(output));
    if (hasRemainingBytes) {
      //This is excatly where I get the "input too large for RSA cipher"
      //Which is suffixed with ArrayIndexOutofBounds
      output = rsaDecipher.doFinal(input,offset,numRemainingBytes);
    } else {
      output = rsaDecipher.doFinal();
    buf.append(new String(output));
    //After having reached till here, will it be wrong if I assumed that I
    //have the properly decrypted string ???

    Hi,
    I am in a fix trying to decrypt this RSA encrypted
    String ... plzz helpYou're already broken at this point.
    Repeat after me: ciphertext CANNOT be safely represented as a String. Strings have internal structure - if you hand ciphertext to the new String(byte[]) constructor, it will eat your ciphertext and leave you with garbage. Said garbage will fail to decrypt in a variety of puzzling fashions.
    If you want to transmit ciphertext as a String, you need to use something like Base64 to encode the raw bytes. Then, on the receiving side, you must Base64-DEcode back into bytes, and then decrypt the resulting byte[].
    Second - using RSA as a general-purpose cipher is a bad idea. Don't do that. It's slow (on the order of 100x slower than the slowest symmetric cipher). It has a HUGE block size (governed by the keysize). And it's subject to attack if used as a stream-cipher (IIRC - I can no longer find the reference for that, so take it with a grain of salt...) Standard practice is to use RSA only to encrypt a generated key for some symmetric algorithm (like, say, AES), and use that key as a session-key.
    At any rate - the code you posted is broken before you get to this line:byte [] input = encryptedString.getBytes();Go back to the encrypting and and make it stop treating your ciphertext as a String.

  • Mac Mini display is too large for screen on only one user account

    Okay, so I left my two year olds alone for a minute playing the "alphabet game" on my Mac Mini. They only had the keyboard, no mouse but managed to muck up my display leaving me a bit frustrated.  The screen is now too large for my Samsung display. The only way to see everything (dock, top bar, etc) is to move my mouse arrow to the end of my display and see it roll back onto the page.  I've checked the settings there and they are fine. The MacBook Pro plugs right in and is proper resolution. So I then wondered if another account on the Mac Mini would do the same thing. I logged out of my Admin account and into another and everything looks just dandy. I log back into my Admin account and it's too large and blurry again. The resolution is set correct at 1920x1080 at 60 Hz.
    What button did they push on my keyboard that would do this and how do I get it back?? Aargh! Thanks all!

    Ha, figured it out myself from another discussion forum finally. Thoght I'd share in case anyone else runs into this. They must have hit "Zoom" by htting the "Control" and scroll buttons at the same time..
    Resolution:
    You can zoom out by holding down the Option and Command buttons on the keyboard and, while you hold them down, pressing the - key.

    This is a really hard post to read. See if you can take a bit of time to reword it, but one thing I do understand is that you are getting this error:
    page header plus page footer too large for the page.
    Typically, you can trust that if the error is thrown, it is true. E.g.; this is not one of those errors that says one thing, and means another. I suspect that you have some field(s) in the header(s) that grow, depending on the data. If there is too much data or the data is too long ( a text for example), the error will be thrown. To resolve this, see if placing the field(s) into a group footer / header will help.

  • ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

    We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
    Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
    It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
    We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
    Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
    The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
    The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
    Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

    Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
    Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
    Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
    See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

  • SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column

    Hi,
    I'm trying to understand the above error. It occurs when we are migrating data from one oracle database to another:
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column "USER_XYZ"."TAB_XYZ"."COL_XYZ" (actual: 10, maximum: 8)
    12899. 00000 - "value too large for column %s (actual: %s, maximum: %s)"
    *Cause:    An attempt was made to insert or update a column with a value
    which is too wide for the width of the destination column.
    The name of the column is given, along with the actual width
    of the value, and the maximum allowed width of the column.
    Note that widths are reported in characters if character length
    semantics are in effect for the column, otherwise widths are
    reported in bytes.
    *Action:   Examine the SQL statement for correctness.  Check source
    and destination column data types.
    Either make the destination column wider, or use a subset
    of the source column (i.e. use substring).
    The source database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
    The target database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
    The source and target table are identical and the column definitions are exactly the same. The column we get the error on is of CHAR(8). To migrate the data we use either a dblink or oracle datapump, both result in the same error. The data in the column is a fixed length string of 8 characters.
    To resolve the error the column "COL_XYZ" gets widened by:
    alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(10));
    -alter table TAB_XYZ succeeded.
    We now move the data from the source into the target table without problem and then run:
    select max(length(COL_XYZ)) from TAB_XYZ;
    -8
    So the maximal string length for this column is 8 characters. To reduce the column width back to its original 8, we then run:
    alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(8));
    -Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-01441: cannot decrease column length because some value is too big
    01441. 00000 - "cannot decrease column length because some value is too big"
    *Cause:   
    *Action:
    So we leave the column width at 10, but the curious thing is - once we have the data in the target table, we can then truncate the same table at source (ie. get rid of all the data) and move the data back in the original table (with COL_XYZ set at CHAR(8)) - without any issue.
    My guess the error has something to do with the storage on the target database, but I would like to understand why. If anybody has an idea or suggestion what to look for - much appreciated.
    Cheers.

  • ReportExportControl  -- File is too large for attachment

    Hi all,
    Back with a exception again.
    Few reports deployed on BOXIR2 SP4 comes with an error as following
    com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl
    15bf5ea9377e1c1.rtf File is too large for attachment.
    Few reports take date range as input and generates result based on that. When date range is small report is generated without any problem. If is large and has large set of records(approx above 10K records) then comes up with the above error.
    Another set of reports whatever be the case throws this error.
    But when the parameters are set in CMS console and run in console report is generated without any problem what ever be the date range.
    After searching a lot no solutions in hand!!
    Please suggest solutions/possible scenarios / checklist to solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    lnarayanan

    It turns out the report was so large it was basically overloading everything (disk space, cache sizes, timeouts, etc.) ... Here's the solution from the case:
    1) For page server and cache server
    Make sure location of Temp Files/Cache files has enough free space (more than 500 MB)
    2) For page server and cache server
    Minutes Before an Idle Connection is Closed = 90
    3) For page server
    Minutes Before an Idle Report Job is Closed = 90
    4) For cache server
    Maximum Simultaneous Processing Threads = automatic
    5) In the command line of page server and cache server, add
    "-requestTimeout 5400000" [without " "]
    6) Maximum Cache Size Allowed (KBytes) = set it to an appropriate value (for e.g. for 500 Mb, value should be 500*1024 = 512000)
    (This setting limits the amount of hard disk space used to store cached pages. If we need to handle large reports, a large cache size is needed. Maximum allowed is 2048 GB)
    After all this, an "Error 500 - Java heap space" happened.  The amount of memory allocated to a JVM application can be set using the options -Xms (the initial size) and -Xmx (the maximum size).

    Dear Sappione,
    did You check the tolerances?
    Check in transaction OBY6 the indicator 'No forex rate diff. when
    clearing in LC' is not set the amount is converted with the exchange
    rate valid at clearing date, in case You're clearing in LC a foreign document.
    When you post a clearing transaction with rounding
    differences, those differences are posted to an additional line item
    GL accounts. This account determination is customized as follows :
    FBKP - Exchange rate differences -
    Exchange rate difference in open items - KDF -a/c XXXXXXXXX
    (Realized gain exchange rate difference)
    The accounts used for rounding differences when clearing
    are the realized gain/loss exchange rate accounts.
    please check all the 3 suggestions.

    My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac.  It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me.  However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility).  I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied.  I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
