Is FileVault necessary if disk contains only the OS?

I have two disks on my MacBook.
The first one is an SSD that contains only OS X. The second one is a regular HD which contains my home folder.
This second HD is an encrypted partition, so it can't be opened without a password — and if you plug it into another computer, it won't be readable without that password.
My question is: should I use FileVault in the SSD, even if my home folder is already encrypted?
If someone steals my MacBook, they won't be able to open any of my personal files (since they're in the encrypted home folder).
Would they be able to get anything useful and harmful from just the SSD that contains OS X?

Try to change the value from General Settings – Resource Throttling from central administration.
Here are the steps below to change.

What is the best way is to create a web app item collection which will contain only the listings where addressstate="ABC".

What is the best way is to create a web app item collection which will contain only the listings where addressstate="ABC".

How many systems have you used Robert?
This is the only system you can not have all item data at least in JSON format and all of it. Big commerce has a lower limit and as I have said in every post related to a limit - I understand the function, but you can still make the requests as just one example (front and back)
Same with API Robert.
Firstly - the SOAP API request on say products gets you ALL the products, if you do something through a REST API request you can make the requests to get all the items to complete your process of what your doing - You have to otherwise the API is pointless.
Ok if the normal modules can not iterate through if there is a module_data solution, and web apps will get there hopefully sooner then later and you do have the sql query (where) for your filter which is great BUT, if you want to implement a solution across everything you cant do that with the liquid implementation.
This also flows through to the JSON everywhere in concept which is fundamentally flawed for the same reason... And again referring other like services where a hard API has a limit but the JSON request returns everything.
How those work varies from the method of request, some will only update every day, xxx time (Depending on cost of the plan) so its a cached version of data, to the ones that limit that request to x number of times per set time/day.
That is how the actual rest of the world works, varied solutions but they are solutions. BC know they have a few limitations, there clearly is the need for things, there are a varied set of options... It is just a matter of engaging in it and offering up a solution for it, silence just creates frustration.

Need reg_exp for checking the string contains only alphanumeric or not

Dear All,
I need to check the given string in if condtion contains only the alphanumeric or not pls help me..
like
if reg_exp then
end if;
thanks,
Oracle

Hi,
REGEXP_LIKE ( str
            , '[^[:alnum:]]'
            )returns TRUE if the string str contains any character other than an alphanumeric.
You can use this wherever conditions are allowed, such as a WHERE clause or a CASE expression. For example:
SELECT     str
.     CASE
         WHEN REGEXP_LIKE ( str
                     , '[^[:alnum:]]'
         THEN 'Contains speace, punctuation or special symbol'
         ELSE 'Okay'
     END               AS is_alnum
FROM     table_x
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Find folders & subfolders containing only '.DS_Store'

Through Terminal or otherwise, how can I find all subfolders in a folder/directory containing only the item ‘.DS_Store’?
I want to remove these. I’ve tried deleting .DS_Store through different Terminal commands and then using Spotlight to find files containing zero (and less than 1) items and have located some, but not all.
Thank you!

I'm just keeping things factual, I'm sorry if you took it as a negative comment. It is true that the OP wanted to remove (otherwise) empty folders.
So in my ~/Downloads/ folder, I do not want to leave all the folders there I download files for work daily, and they are numerous in number and usually large. I have a script which deletes files accessed over 60 days ago, and empty folders. I have thousands of folders that have had their contents removed, but the directory is still cluttered. Eventually you actually can run out of inodes on a disk, so it's fine to delete folders in this case.
This thread helped me figure out what I needed and it now works as I hoped.
Script for reference:
#~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.myname.reaper.plist calls this script
#using launchd to run 1x a day at 10:00

#!/bin/sh
# Finds all files within ~/Cases/ whose "last accessed"

I have several iPhoto and aperture libraries... i want to get to one iPhoto library keeping only the latest photos. How can I do this?

Okay... I made the mistake of creating duplicate Aperture libraries because I decided I wanted to only use Aperture - then the news that Aperture is no longer going to be developed. I then confused myself and created duplicate iPhoto libraries (I can't even remember why anymore). At one point or another I have edited pictures in all of them and have no idea which pictures were edited. I just want to have one iPhoto library with the most recently edited photos and remove all the duplicates.
What is the best way to do this?
And... after doing all that, I need to keep backups of my photos on an external drive. What is the best way to do this?
iPhoto version 9.5.1
Thank you so much for any advice you can provide!

You can merge libraries into one with Aperture 3.3. or later.
Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
In merge-mode it will only keep the photos from one of the libraries.
And you can use Aperture to export partial libraries containing only the selected albums, projects, etc.
If you need to keep projects (books, calendars, cards) when merging your libraries, use Aperture and not iPLM:

Can I put only the top image of a stack in a Mobile Album?

I have an album that contains stacks and I would like to put only the top images of these stacks in a Mobile Album. Is this possible?
I have tried to make a new album and only put the top images in this new album without sucess. Is it possible to have a stack of images in one album and only the top image in another ablum?
I hope someone knows about this
Hans Brodin

Hi Surendra,
My target is to find a convenient way to transfer my best photos only to my iPad
By using stacks for similar photo and putting my best shot on top I reduce the number of images displayed in the organizer. A typical stack contains of 8 shots.
Then I put my best stacks in an album. By using the Slide Show in PE I have a convenient way to display only my best shot and tha's OK for my computer were I have a lot of disc space.
But on my iPad the size of memory is limited and it also takes some time to transfer a huge number of images so now I want to find a convenient way of tranfering only the top image of each stack. If I could have a separate album containing only the top images from each stack the task would have been easy.
Now this is not possible so now I hope there is another solution than acually making a separate copy (a new file) of each top image and put these copies in a separate album. This will of course work but it will end up in having two identical images showing up in the organizer and so I do not really like this idea.
I hope I have managed to describe my intention and do you have an idea for a workaround or do I need to make separate copies?
Thanks a lot
Hans

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 - attachment contains only first character

Hi,
we use the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send a report as txt attachment. The problem is that the attachment in the email contains only the first character of the origin text. But the atttachment in the transaction SOST has definitely more content (although not all as it should be... but this is another problem)
Has anybody an idea what's wrong? We use ECC6. Before ECC6 we doesn't have that problem.
Thanks and regards, Susanne
Here is the content:

Thanks for your very helpful hint. So I saw that I could use the BCS cause we have ECC 6. This is much more easier. The txt attachment was then ok but the format of data was wrong. Finally I used these code line http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/SendMailhavingMultipleFilesasAttachmentusingobjectorientedtechnique to solve it.

How to export only the displayed data to excel

Hello, APEX experts:
Currently, APEX export to excel functionality can export all data defined by the report query, no matter they are displayed on screen or not.
Is there a way to export the displayed portion only?
Thank you.
shiofan

Hi! Thanks for the reply.
From what I see, the include in export and show in report are independent since I can export columns which are not shown in the report and also some displayed columns are not included in the export.
Let me restate what I'm facing:
I'm using APEX 3.2 with standard report.
Let's say my report query returns 50,000 rows, but display only 500 rows per page. I'm using one of the APEX built in pagination scheme.
The default Export to Excel functionality will export all the 50,000 rows to an excel file. But my customer says, he does not want so many rows there. He want only the rows displayed on current page be exported. In other word, if the report is currently displaying rows from 501 to 1000, then the exported excel file should contain only the rows from 501 to 1000.
As you may says, why not just add another data filter to limit the output size? I agree, that should be the normal practice. But my customer want no more query conditions but export only the portion he see on the screen.
More idea?
Thanks a lot.

Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks

Hi All,
I have been trying real hard to install Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 model. I followed the instruction given by Bootcamp word to word, all things went very smoothly untill I was asked Windows Setup Instaled to selct the Hard drive. Here's the error:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk 0. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks...."
Let me know guys what should I do?
Thanks,
Attiqe

You have started the Windows 8 installer in EFI mode, and you don't have to start in EFI mode on a Mac because your Mac emulates a BIOS and a MBR partition table in order to install Windows in non-EFI mode.
To start the Windows installer, hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting and have a look at all the boot options you have. You should see two with a DVD above and they must be named "Windows" and "EFI Boot". Choose the option with "Windows" and follow the steps to install Windows. Note that you have to format the "BOOTCAMP" partition from the installer to be able to install Windows.
If you are trying to install Windows from a USB drive, note that your computer isn't compatible to do it

The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}
https://www.google.com/#q=raid+backup+mac
Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
Good luck & happy computing!

Having registry issues need to know what the backup disk contains PLEASE! Or any suggestions :) :)

So here's my issue I have really FUBAR'ed my laptop LOL. Basically my registry is gone kinda. I can't access any of the vital win7 programs ie Computer, IE9, Control Panel, any folders (documents, pictures music...) stuff like that. Now here's the kicker I can access my games from the start menu and some desktop shortcuts work. All the minor junk like calculator, notepad, wordpad etc. work. Hell I can even do remote desktop (weird I know). My net connection says that I am not connected however I actually am because I can access all of my files via my Desktop.
So here's what actually caused this. I downloaded and ran Cleanmypc registry cleaner ( I knew better shouldn't have touched this just a (insert choice word/s) to happen). I thought I was actually going to make it run faster after all the good reviews I poured over and didn't find any bad reviews. Before I even ran this I scanned it with Avast, Spybot, and Addaware just to make sure it wasn't full of crap!! Didnt find anything, so I continued. Ran it found several problems according to the product. Followed the instructions to the T. Let the program do a registry backup for me (I know what you are thinking I should have manually done it). My mistake. So I hit the inevitable fix all issues button and low and behold it ruined everything. I was unable to access anything and I mean everything. All my file associations where gone just like that period!!
I was even unable to run mypccleaner again. luckily though I was able to run the program via the run command kinda. The only part of the program that would actually work was the restore registry before the fix by using the backup file that the program made for me. Yea well that was a flipping joke it made it WORSE!
After all that and a few hours pouring over uneventful fixes I finally downloaded all the default registry values from Microsoft that they had for Win7 from another computer and luckily I was able to get them transferred over to my laptop (thank God for networks) But none of these files had any association so I had to manually add a few using CMD from a post that was buried in another forum until I could make a file association to regedit. Then I added the rest. So now my laptop is kinda working. I have access like I stated above but its only the minor stuff I have access to. I can't run any major program or it says no such interface supported.
So long story short I found an article here Repair Install that should work without losing everything (at this time I can't afford to do that have a DJ gig Saturday) but it says I have to have an original Win7 disk to be able to do it. So my question is if I order the backup disk from here will that disk allow me to be able to do this or am I going to have to find other means.
In all honesty if it wont that's fine I will take it and pay the money to get it repaired (don't really want to do that) as I need it in a couple days and the soonest I could have it back is two weeks. Yes I have a backup laptop but that one is down as well bad HDD LOL have to replace. Wishing now that I would have spent the money on that 1TB external HDD that I was looking at
So again my questions are. Is the backup disk that I can order from here going to be able to solve my problem and if not does anyone here have any solutions. I run VDJ Pro but it says that my soundcard isn't installed or my drivers are bad. So I tried to reinstall the drivers but windows can't find the installshield file to be able to do that. Or is there a backdoor to being able to run WMP (it's an option not a very good one but an option if I can get it to work).
Thank you for taking your time in reading this. I know it's long but I just wanted to get all the info out to anyone that might be able to help me resolve this. So any comment is appreciated again THANK YOU!! I am desperate please!
I am running Win7 Home Premium on a Toshiba L555D-S70005

I can't lose anything from my laptop. Never backed it up. .. ..pay the money for them to reinstall and back everything up for me.
No need for that, Richard. You can rescue all your important files by the following method. And then restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
4. Run Unetbootin-win-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

TS1440 When I start up, there is only the flashing folder with a question mark on it. When I tried to reinstall snow leopard, there is no hard disk to be found.

After rebooting my computer, there is only the flashing folder with "?" on it. I tried several things like PRAM resetting and whatnot, but nothing worked. I then tried to reinstall Snow Leopard, but it appears there is no hard disc to be found to install it. I also wanted to repair the disk first but it wasn't present in disk utilities. Did I lose my hard drive, or is this still salvagable?

That is evidence that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

Is FileVault necessary if disk contains only the OS?
