Is it OK to use clone when you only need shallow copy?

I created copy contructors for all of my libraries classes because I was afraid of using the clone() method.
However, my copy constructors create shallow copies of the objects - which is probably the same as using clone().
Before I go deleting all the copy constructors from all of my classes...
Is there any reason not to use clone() in this case? Are there any gotchas with clone() when it comes to just a simple shallow copy (perhaps with simple arrays, simple object arrays, or collections) ?
Thanks

Another thing worth mentioning is that if you really need to have more control of the clone process, then just over-ride the clone method. In most cases the default Object.clone() method should be enough. BTW don't forget to use the Clonable interface for your class.
The whole notion of a copy constructor is much more a C++ thing.

Same message every time I open iPhoto - "use iPhoto when you connect..."

Every time I open iPhoto 6 (using a MacBook Pro) I am asked: "Do you want to use iPhoto when you connect your digital camera?" I respond "yes," only to be presented with the same question the next time I open the program. Any thoughts on why that might be and how I can stop it from asking (and remember that I want to use it with my camera)?
MacBook Pro (Dual 2.0Ghz) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave that a try, but no luck. Turns out, though, my main volume was corrupted--most likely related to running the public beta of Parallels Workstation (great software, but there's a reason they tell you not to run betas on production computers ). I repaired my drive using Disk Utility and that seems to have done the trick.

I have 19GB of storage. Why can't I update my iPad to IOS 8 when I only need 4.4 GB of storage?

I Have 19GB of storage and only need 4.4 GB to update to iOS 8. It still says I only have 4.9 GB and won't let me update the software. Why?

Do you have that 19 gigs on your device (Settings>General>Usage) or is it iCloud space? You need local space to upgrade.

How is it possible to use data when you hardly even use your phone?

I just got an LG G3 phone yesterday afternoon and have 500 mg to use and have already maxed it out and have hardly even used the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has data been used why I am sleeping and when I know 100% I am not even on my phone. I use my laptop for all internet. My husband doesn't even use the internet, and if he does I am the one that finds the page he needs, and he really doesn't even know how to use it. He has a basic flip top and doesn't want anything more. So, please help me understand how data is being used almost all day, all night, and even when we are sleeping and the phone is not being used for anything? As a matter of fact, I am on my laptop and can't sleep because of this!! My phone is in the other room and I bet data is being used right now. But, I know don't anyone uses that much data in a DAY and A HALF when the phone is not in use. I have had three phone calls all day and only one I answered and I made one call out, but data has been used all day. And I have had free 250 mg for probably at least six months and have used no data and now all the sudden when I have been on my laptop all day the data is used. Can someone please help me understand how this is possible?@

Phone default settings are Data Off, Playstore set to wifi update only and background data off for many apps. I have "My Verizon My Data app" and "Active Apps" app on home screen for monitoring purposes. Something seems to infrequently activate the You-Tube and Chrome apps randomly. Cloud is turned off as I back up to Google and my computer. I have a number of other apps turned off as well and monitor "Data Usage" for unwanted app data consumption. Also have data usage warning and shut off levels set in the phone. My plan is 1 GB and I am regularly using under .5 GB.
correction to above: my reference to "Phone default settings" above is misleading. That should be my worded as "My current phone settings:" Unfortunately I am not permitted to edit my previous post.

Publishing a particular Web site using iWeb when you have 2 iWeb projects

Hi ! I'm a new mac user. Working with iWeb is great. I have 2 web projects. How can I upload or publish 1 of the sites without both of them being uploaded ? Every time I have tried to upload on .Mac, both sites are being uploaded but I only want one of them (the smallest one) to be uploaded. Thanks for the help !

goony goo goo,
It can be done, but you need to jump through a few hoops to make it happen. Read through these notes on separate sites, held in individual Domain.sites files in iWeb.

Where's a magician when you really need one?

Recently did a re-install of 10.3.9, but now it's not much fun because Sherlock doesn't work.
No matter what I enter into the search field, the response of "no results found" stays there. It's almost as though it loads the internet, but can't access information or something prevents it from searching. All the other channels do the same thing.
Been through the discussion posts and tried deleting various files to no avail.
Can anyone please suggest something that will work?

That is a very nice and complete report of your problems and observations.
Thanks, I'm becoming very intimate with them. ;P
... related to having an older
version of Safari on their machines. I am wondering
if something similar could be causing you trouble.
Hard to say.
All I know is that running Safari 1.3 started off fine, then became progressively worse each time I used it. After the Re-install, I loaded 1.2 and it's been working very well... so I'm cautious about updating it.
...start the Console app and make sure
that the console log file is the one that opens on
your screen. Then, start Sherlock and do one of the
things that does not work. When a failure occurs,
something might be written to that log.
Nothing written in the first log that appears. However, in the Library log, there is this:

I have no inkling as to what any of that actually means.
To do this, I would
need to have the output of your softwareupdate log
file, from the time that you re-installed 10.3.0 to
the present (I am assuming that you have used
Software Update. )
No.
After loading 10.3 from the retail kit for the first time, I dowloaded the updates manually from the Apple site (sorry, not very efficient, but I'm fairly new to Panther and didn't know about Software Update).
I don't know if here was an issue with Sherlock at that point because I didn't launch it.
After all upgrades were installed, I backed up the downloaded updates onto CD so I would have them in case of emergency. After the Re-install, the updates from 10.3 to 10.3.9 were enabled from the CD. Sherlock is the only app that is not working.
I will see if I can learn anything.
I'm very appreciative of the time you're spending on this.
BTW, I bought and thoroughly ran TechTool 4.1.1 according to the manufacturer's specs. While my machine is now running faster, the annoying problem is still there.

How do you stop app's going across 2 iphones when you only have 1 apple ID for itunes?

I have an iPhone, iPad & iMac which is all set up lovely. However my girlfriend now has a iPhone too so I have set up her phone with my apple ID for itunes but her own one for emails etc.
The issue I am having is that when ever she down loads an app it appears on my phone as well, how do I stop this my friends think I'm changing my ways with all these girly apps apearing on my phone at random??

Hi Oxford_lad,
apart from you treating your girlfriend to well, you just have to deactivate automatic downloading!
Enabling Automatic Downloads on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.

Need to change my password NOW, and where is a DBA when you really need one

I'm attempting to teach myself SQL using the book "Murach's Oracle SQL and PL/SQL". They recommended downloading Oracle Express Edition. I downloaded Express Edition 11g. The book says it's applicable with all versions through 11g.
Anyway, last Sunday I got a warning message, "ORA - 28002: The password will expire within 7 days.
28002.00000 - "the password will expire within %s days"
*Cause: The user's account is about to expire and the password needs to be changed
*Action: change the password or contact the DBA
Vendor code 28002
I don't have a DBA; I'm trying to learn this stuff on my own. I've been corresponding with the book's author. He's been having me try different stuff
(ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
SELECT PROFILE FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = SYSTEM;
ALTER PROFILE <PROFILE_NAME> LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED; ) None of this worked. He finally wrote that I should access the Database Home Page to change the password for the existing users.
Problem is, from the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go to Database Home Page, and that's not an option in my Oracle Database 11g Express Edition; my options are Get Help, Backup Database, Get Started, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database, and Stop Database.
How can I change my password so my database doesn't lock up? The database is on my home computer, so if I can set it up so there is no password expiration time that would be preferrable.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Updating the profile after a password has expired is like closing the barn door after all the cows have left.
Sure, the new cows won't be able to leave, new users created with the unlimited profile won't get the expired password problem but the 'escaped' cows still need to be fixed. Use a system or /as sysdba connection and set a new value for the user password.
sqlplus /nolog
conn /as sysdba
... connected ...
alter user <username> identified by <new password> account unlock;
conn <username>
... password ...
... connected ...
alter user <username> identified by <a different password>;As soon as system (or sysdba) or any user with the DBA role fixes the user account <username> should be good to go. And can set his/her own password as well. Its your database, you get to be the DBA.

HT3697 I am trying to convert a Keynote Presentation to a cross platform PDF file. When using export it creates a 30mb file when it only need to be 2-3mb and so cant email or use it very easily. How do I get the file size down?

I'm trying export a Keynote presentation to PDF, or other format, to use on Windows PC, iPad and other devices.
The file Keynote create is way too large at 30mb+. So cant email or share it very easily
If I print it and to Adobe PDF I can get it to 3mb, but have to crop it manually, and some settings or graphics are not so good or accdeptable!
Does anyone know how to do this?
