Is Ovi reliable enough for professional usage?

I have used my E71 reliably with Nokia PC Suite. But with Ovi I keep having lots of trouble. I can not reliably use Ovi.Share, Ovi Calender and since today I cannot not use Ovi.maps anymore. What is your experience with Ovi for professional use? Unfortunatelly Nokia Care has not been able to help.

In my experience clearly no.
Outlook sync works on and off, sometimes you can install the exact same version Ovi-suite on two identical PCs and it works on one and not on the other.
Ovi-Suite sometimes reports contact sync conflicts, but with contacts that have not been touched in ages, neither on the handset nor in Ovi-Suite. Careful examination of the supposedly conflicting entries reveal that they are IDENTICAL.
Also, syncing contacts with Ovi contacts online, is spotty at best. It sometimes works and sometimes does not.
If your handset is supported by PC-Suite, I suggest you keep using it as long as you can if you rely on consistent and correct synchronization of your data.

Is Pages Good Enough For Professional Printing?

I'm looking to do an Large Format Brochure (11" x 17") single fold and I've been using Pages for the mock up and layout. I was thinking that I would need someone to recreate the design in Quark, or Pagemaker, but now I'm wondering if I can do it all in Pages.
The printer that I plan on using is PSPrint (http://www.psprint.com/) and according to their offset printing specs and template, I just have to provide them with a 300dpi PDF. From what I've tested, exporting to PDF with quality set at "Best" I get a 300dpi file.
I haven't tested my output with photographs yet since we haven't purchased the final images and are using comps, but am I wrong in thinking that Pages is good enough for this project?
Template: http://www.psprint.com/DOWNLOAD/templates/brochures/brochurehalffold_11x17front.pdf
Thanks in advance!

There is no way to save out of Pages to pdf without flattening the transparency.
Proposition: In any save path, transparency is flattened in saving.
Test of proposition: Apple Pages '08 and Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 as platform.
1. Launch system software and application software.
2. Insert first composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Type', leave default colour, leave default opacity.
3. Insert second composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Transparency', change default colour to rubrication red, change opacity to 50%.
4. Select e.g. File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF, name file 'Test', and select folder.
5. Launch Acrobat Professional 6 (first version with ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 verification), check the PDF version (: 1.4), check at high magnification (: no rasterisation), check that the source character string can be synthesised (: it can).
As posted previously, if transparency is applied, PDF 1.4 is automatically configured unless the path is ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 that does not support transparency (PDF 1.3 has an opaque imaging model, not a transparency imaging model). This is a simplistic test, but it is nonetheless a test.
Because Apple Quartz has applied transparency since 2000, and because there the matrix of system versions and application versions is somewhat monstrous, the notion of testing is somewhat notional .

Is iWeb + MobileMe hosting reliable enough for a small business?

I have a small business and am trying to get a website up. It will be less than 10 pages, mostly static informational stuff that will almost never change. I will have a few pictures and maybe about 10 documents that clients can download. I won't be doing any e-commerce, no shopping cart, etc...
I'd like to use iWeb '09 to create it and then just host it on my MobileMe account since that would obviously be the cheapest solution. But I didn't know if that was going to be as reliable as using a hosting service like GoDaddy or AT&T's service (that's who my business DSL is with). Those 2 are only about $15/month for everything (domain, hosting, etc...)
My other question, more related to iWeb, is whether GoDaddy's WebSite Tonight program was any easier to use than iWeb. I'm a complete novice to web page building. I've seen some really nice sites people have posted here that they created with iWeb, but I'm wondering how long it would take me to learn to do something that nice.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Judging by what most people complain about, MobileMe's reliability (uptime) appears to be satisfactory — there are more complaints of MobileMe being slow, but perhaps with only a few pages and pictures your clients won't notice.
If being found by Google is important to you, bear in mind that +"iWeb websites are not made to be search engine friendly."+ ...Read more here:
_SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines_
iWeb is designed for personal sites and so Apple apparently assumes you'll simply pass your site's URL to friends & family. Web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate search engine optimization — Sandvox Pro is an example:

Is Solaris 9 Intel mature enough for serious usage?

Hello everyone,
I'm a Solaris newbie. I downloaded Solaris 8 Intel and installed a few times with and without success since Sun first released version 8 for free download. I had sucessfully installed Solaris 8 on Compaq Proliant Server and IBM Intel Xseries (with bad video) but failed on Dell PowerEdge (due to the lack of RAID and SCSI dirver or I didn't know where to get the drivers my hardware.
The reason I posed the question is that the System Requirement Note states the Solaris 9 x86 OE Customer Early Access software is not suitable for deployment on any production systems.
Is the current release of version 9 stable or final release? I'd rather not waste my bandwidth, time (It'd take me 3 days to download 3 iso images), CDs for beta releases.
Please advise me.
Thanks.
Trent

Depends on what you mean by "serious usage". Like right now, it provides a electronic place for me to dump my school work to instead of bringing disks or blank CDs.
Overall, it's an alright system. Though, Solaris 9 was a little more difficult to set up on my old computer (probably more because of the computer itself rather than the software.)
But, I did it. Installed Solaris 9 on 32 MB of RAM on a Pentium MMX 166.

Is there a reliable method for detecting that a query is too large?

I am writing some code (that uses OCI) to properly detect when a query string is too long for OCI and/or the Oracle database server. I can't find any specific error code information in the docs, so I just started firing off large queries to see what would happen.
The queries I am sending are >2MB in size, up to 16MB. If the queries are above ~10MB, I get the error "ORA-03113 'End-of-file on communications channel'" after a fairly short amount of time (i.e. not enough for a timeout to expire). If the queries are below ~10MB, but above ~2.5MB, it either just sits there and does not do anything (for more than 15 hours). So watching for ORA-03113 when executing large queries does not seem like a very reliable method for detecting the queries that are too large.
Does anyone know of a reliable way of detecting that a query is too large for the OCI client and/or the Oracle database server?
I am using version 10.2.0.1 for both the OCI client and the Oracle database server, but I'm getting similar errors for combinations of 10.2.0.1 and 9.2.0.7 for both the OCI client and the Oracle database server.
These large queries need to be handled properly (i.e. distinguished from some generic failure) because the server handles requests from users, which could be programs that generate SQL queries (and have constructed huge ones in the past).
Thanks for any information!

The ORA-03113 means that the Oracle server process has died trying to satisfy your request. In almost all cases it is strictly correct to call that a bug, and we shouldn't easily forgive the server process when it happens. But in the case of multimegabyte statements my anger and disapointment turns to sympathy, for in my heart I can't bring myself to blame it. Can you?

Pages: PDFs for professional printers

I hope this may help Pages users who struggle with making PDFs for professional printshops.
Pages provide several options to produce PDFs. However, not all are suitable for professional print shops. For instance, 'Export to PDF' option under File menu will give you PDFs that look okay on screen, but will not break into four colours (CMYK) needed for professional printing.
One efficient way of preparing Pages files is by using the ColourSync utility.
1. In your Pages document go File - Print. Print dialogue window opens.
2. Click on the third pop-down menu bar. Go down to ColorSync.
3. In ColorSync dialogue second pop-down menu bar is called 'Quartz Filter'. Click on it and go down to 'Add filters...' ColorSync launches and a Preview pdf of your document opens after a few seconds. In the top left corner of the Preview there is an icon with red, green and blue filters. Click on it.
4. 'Filters' dialogue window opens. Click on the triangle next to the third option 'Create Generic PDFX-3 Document'. At the bottom of the window click on + to create a new filter which will be your configurations choice for producing PDFs for printers. 'Untitled' option appears at the bottom of the list.
5. Double click on it to change the name of the option. Click on the little triangle to the right of the 'Untitled' and a choice of option opens. Go down to 'Add PDF retouch component' and when options open choose PDF/X-3.
6. Click on the little triangle to the left of your 'Untitled' and you will see that a new 'Create PDF/X-3' submenu has been added.
7. Click on the little triangle to the left and a choice of PDF settings appears. Now here, on the fourth line you have 'Destination Profile' drop-down menu. If you choose 'Generic CMYK' you can start producing PDFs already colour separated for professional printers. Next, go further down to 'Flatten Transparency'. By default it is checked and resolution is set at 72 dpi. That is good enough for the internet and for e-mailing pdfs. But for professional printing you need a much higher definition.
8. Next step: click on your preview pdf, at the bottom left there is a choice of filters - a drop-down menu bar. Click on it and you will see your 'Untitled' at the bottom of the menu.
9. Close Filters dialogue window, close preview, and go back to your Pages document. Click Print under File menu and in Print dialogue window go to ColorSync again. Click on the Quartz Filter menu bar and you will see that the 'Untitled' filter with your PDF settings sits there.
10. Now, follow the Print - Save as PostScript - Create PDF route, but in a slightly modified way:
- Open Print dialogue;
- Choose ColorSync and set Quartz Filter to yours - e.g. 'Untitled'.
- Under PDF menu choose 'Save as PostScript'
- Launch Acrobat (or drag the PS file onto the Acrobat icon) and 'Create PDF from file' under Document menu or Open the PS file under File menu.
Changing PDF settings allows you to prepare ready CMYK converted files for printers. It may look cumbersome, but, mind, you only have to adjust your PDF settings once to find what best suits you, and then it's just sliding down to ColorSync and clicking on your settings.
FrankBe has described the use of ColoSync for preparing PDFs on this forum. I am adding here a recommendation to use the PostScript stage to convert Pages files to PDF. A fuller version of this method is on http://i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com.

What is the best tablet for using photoshop for professional editing??

Okay, I know Apple and their ipads are popular. But popularity is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for compatibility, between photoshop and the tablet itself. I want to get over using the mouse for everything. I'm not quite sure if apple is the best choice. Or is it?
I'm very new to all this tablet stuff. lol Please advise
Oh my goodness. Is the Ipad not advanced enough for a full blown photoshop program?! I geuss I overestimated them. Goodness. It really is just a on the go kind of thing?.... Again. I'm new to this whole tablet thing. So if you guys know anything. Please advise lol. I'm a complete Newbie.

Windiv, 'Tablet' - the generic term is used differently for each context. iPad is a generic tablet. While for Photoshop editing, you need a tablet such as Wacom Intuos - they're 'design tablets' in specific. They have 'full-blown' capabilities with Photoshop and majority of other Professional Graphic softwares.

Is 4GB Ram enough for a new iMac?

I'm contemplating buying a new iMac. I see that the new iMacs come with 4GB of RAM installed. Is that enough for running programs like Pages, Numbers, iMovie, iDVD, Finale (music notation software), Toast, iTunes... as well as the usual web browsers and Mail.
Would I be better off upgrading the ram even before I take the computer home, or should I try getting by on 4GB first?
It used to be that the amount of RAM pre-installed was never enough. Is this still a truism?

Paul SanGregory wrote:

You are correct. The system will run nicely on 4 GB of memory but for what you are planning to do and for new things you may get into, I’d make my original purchase 8 GB (4x2GB sticks). It’s not much more money and your applications will thank you. If you decide to wait before adding the RAM, you will be able to monitor your RAM usage using Activity Monitor. With 4 GB, you’ll see memory pageouts and swap file usage; with 8 GB installed, you may not typically have any pageouts or swap file usage and everything will run better when you have a busy machine.

I just had a bill with $112 overage for voice, I believe the overage began 13 days before the end of my billing cycle. If I'm reading the above correctly I should have been notified but wasn't. Associate I spoke with couldn't explain but did offer 30% discount. @.45/min. the charge is much too high anyway. Can anyone explain why I wasn't notified so I could avoid this overage?

I understand your frustration of receiving a bill that isn't what you expected but sometimes this happened because a number of possible things that may have been over looked or even simply a possible error but I have to point out that the usage automated system updates daily but isn't guaranteed to be 100% reliable because of a number of different variables that could cause the information to be off. My suggestion is to use the #BAL from the device or #MIN to check usage, these are usually closer to the correct usage balance.
Another got suggestion to avoid this from happening is to log into your MyVerizon app on your device or online and keep track of your activity there..

The Great DVD Shortage of 2008...a reliable source for optical media?

I go through a lot of inkjet-printable DVD-R 100-packs. I used to buy Memorex from Newegg, then they started limiting the quantity I could order to 2 at a time. "Just use another credit card," customer service told me. I could play this game if I weren't ordering for a state institution, for which the tiniest purchase generates a forest of red tape.
I discovered some Maxells at B&H that worked well, but they seem to have a problem keeping them in stock.
It's really a pain...each brand has a slightly different printable surface area, which throws my label templates off, plus I'd like to stick to a brand and retailer that I trust.
Does anyone know of a reliable source for blank DVD's?
Thanks.
Zap

If you don't mind, I'll toss in my two cents worth in here.
I did use Maxell, till they moved there manufacturing to Mexico, then the quality control when down the tubes, (hit and miss with disks having the white print coating transferring to the optical surface of the disk above it.
I'm now using Taiyo Yuden Water Shield printable disk and love them. The disks don't stick together when stacked on an automated printer stack, causing a miss feed like Maxells did. Every Taiyo Yuden disks optical surface is pristine and perfect, (no transfer of the white print coating from the disk below.)
The best part is that once the ink hits the disks surface, it's dry, you can wipe your hand across it immediately without the ink smearing and the best part, you can hold the disk under water and the ink will not run, the ink becomes impervious to water, with a glossy finish that looks crisp and professional.

***CALLING ALL MACBOOK AIR USERS*** Will the base model of the 2013 Macbook Air 11" be enough for my needs?

Ok,
This is my first post to this forum.
I have a Late 2011 i5 Macbook Pro. I used this last year during college but the weight was just unbearable. I have decided this year to upgrade to a Macbook Air. Here is my question.
I am starting uni and will be studying Nursing and so I will not be using any heavy software or progaming etc.
The only thing I will use is Office for Mac and browsing. I normally keep around 15 browser tabs open whilst I research.
I also like to download so I would also like Vuse on my Macbook too. I own an external hardrive and so memory isnt a big deal (unless it makes a difference to the performance of the mac itself, Sorry im not great with this stuff)
Do you guys think the base model of the 11" Macbook Air (1.3ghz, 4GB ram, 128GB SSD) will be enough for my needs or do you think I would need to custom build it (1.7ghz, 8GB ram, 128GB SSD)?
My boyfriend thinks for what im using it for the base model will be fine but I dont want to get it to find that its not enough as my main concern is lag but I also do not want to pay extra for something which isnt going to be fully used (ie my current Macbook Pro).
For those of you who do have the 11' Macbook air, how are you finding it? Also, this will be my main computing device, I am selling my Pro but am thinking of buying the wireless keyboard and trackpad so I can connect to an extenal monitor whilst im at home.
Thank you guys in adavnce for any answers.

I too have a 2011 mackbook pro and I also have a mid 2012 mackbook air 128 gb ssd and 4 gb ram , I am probably goint to sell the pro because I just don't use it anymore . If you intend to do heavy multi tasking 8gb ram as suggested by a previous poster might be worth the extra money.

I want to buy ipod touch 4 (8GB) , but i dont know is that enough for me

I want to buy ipod touch 4, my friends said i should buy 8GB one, but i dont know is 8GB enough for me to use. some people said that it only have 6.7GB for you to use, cause the ipod apps already used some of it. I want to have maybe 100 songs, some apps, pics, few games, 5-7 books, few online movies. For some of these, i would probably delete them and download new ones. So, any suggestion?? Please? I really want to buy it before this summer. but i dont want waste my money.

I would opt for the 32 GB one. Many users have been disappointed when they purchased the 8 GB since they quickly filled it.
Some apps can take 1 GB themselves. See the following for some other stirage useages:

Apple MacBook Air 2011 - powerful enough for most tasks?

I want to buy the 2011 model of MacBook Air 13” 128GB, but I have some questions for you guys, would appreciate it if you experts have answers:
1) I'm currently on a two year old Acer Aspire 6920G laptop with 17”, Windows 7, Core Duo 2 (T5750 @ 2.0 Ghz) and 3 GB RAM - will my new MacBook Air feel one million times faster to use?
2) Can I later (easily/cheaply) upgrade the MBA's RAM to 8GB?
3) I mostly use web browsers, office software, IM programs, media players etc., but I will also use it a lot for electronic music making (with Ableton Live and virtual instruments/effects) and DJ’ing (with Avid Torq). I almost never do any heavy duty image work, and I rarely code/edit video - will the MBA be fast enough for the things I do most often, or do I have to get a MacBook Pro?
4) How often does the fan start up? And when it's on, how much noise does it really make when it approaches 6500 RPM?
5) I read that with Lion the fan is running more than with previous OS'es - can this really be fixed with booting in 32-bit rather than 64-bit? And what will that entail for the CPU power/battery longevity/software compability?
6) Is the graphics adapter in my current PC (nVidia GeForce 9500M GS) much more powerful than the MBA's Intel HD3000, or is it almost the same now?
7) Is it easy to run Windows XP or 7 in Boot Camp? I have a few Windows programs I'd like to continue using.
8) Should I alternatively use a few more bucks and get a MacBook Pro with SSD-disk? Is that less "locked" and more compatible with what might happen in the future, technology-wise?
9) Is it possible/cheap to switch the English keyboard to a Norwegian one next time I'm visiting Norway?
I have to make a purchase of a new laptop soon, so I'd GREATLY appreciate any answers. Since I have had software- and hardware problems with every PC I've ever owned, I frankly do not trust them anymore. So here we go then - Mac!

Let's see if I can help
1)The i5 Macbook air should be considerably faster than your previous laptop. Mostly because of the SSD and the i5 processor.
2)I'm not sure about the latest macbook airs, but previous models have their RAM modules soldered to the Logic Board, I don't think you can upgrade the RAM at all.
3)The MacBook Air might be fast enough, but Just, I would go with a Macbook Pro, mostly because it's easier to upgrade.
4)It will kick in several times but rarely at full speed, and it's not that loud. Would recommend a macbook pro for cooler running.
5) I didn't notice any difference between Lion and Snow Leopard regarding fan activity. Lion is a 64-bit only system, there is no way to boot in a full 32-bit environment. Compatibility can be an issue with some software, ie. traktor users have been reporting problems with external hardware running Lion, but updates will fix these soon.
6)They are at comparable levels, the Intel HD 3000 might even be better at some point. It's much better than the 9400m that older macbook airs had.
7)Yes, as long as you have the optional super drive to install it.
8)Yes, that would be a better idea.
9)I don't think so, never heard of people swapping keyboards on Macbook Airs or Pro's.
I'd buy a MacBook Pro if you are planning to keep it for long. It's more powerful, more upgradeable and runs cooler and quieter than the air.
Hope you get your mac soon!

Help! I zoomed in on a picture online and now I can't zoom out enough for my desktop to return to normal. How do I get my desktop back to its regular dimensions?

I zoomed in on a picture online by holding control and open pinching and for some reason, my desktop was enlarged as well. How I can't zoom out enough for my desktop to return to normal? I would like to be able to see my whole desktop without scrolling over to see the time or the file menu!

Hold down the Control key and drag two fingertips down the trackpad toward you.
