Just switched to Excel 2007...a few questions

I just switched to Excel 2007 from Excel 2003 and am experiencing the zoom/delayed retrieval issues that many have spoken of in other threads.
We currently are running essbases 9.3.1.0
Many of my other co-workers are still using Excel 2003.
Our company has not yet upgraded to version 11 yet so what is the optimum version (update) of essbase I should be using so that I do not experience these zoom issues and will that impact the compatability of any of my spreadsheets with my co-workers who are using Excel 2003?
Do I need 9.3.1.3?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
9.3.1.3 client install should resolve your issues
Spreadsheet Add-in. Retrieving data using Spreadsheet Add-in with Microsoft Excel 2007 may result in slow performance. When the Formula Fill option is selected, zooming in on a member (whether using mouse actions or menu items) may result in slow retrieval performance and an error message indicating that the maximum number of rows has been exceeded.
When the Retain on Zoom option is selected, zooming out on a member (whether using mouse actions or menu items) may result in slow retrieval performance.
The Formula Fill and Retain on Zoom options are on the Mode tab of the Essbase Options dialog box. [6695282, 7019497, 7019501]
More information in the readme :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/esb_93130_readme.pdf
Different client installation files can be downloaded from My Oracle Support under patches.

Just got a new iMac, a few questions

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop, and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool, that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I used to use AIM for this in windows
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering, it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad flicker, but I could see it.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course after 30 mins
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually against them, but I am expecting this computer to last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!) before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly as fast as Windows pc's.
Thank you for any help,

The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.

iChat works well.

No idea.

You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.

It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.

Just got a MB, Have a few questions

Ok, so I have just received my white MacBook, Everything is great super fast machine.
However I have a few questions about the Finder.
The Hard Drive on this computer is 160GB, I have added 11 or so GB of music and a few other files, the computer says I have 123 GB remaining which is probably right. So my question is how much space does leopard Take up? (How much space is usually free on newly purchased computer?)
How do you uninstall programs in OS X?
Lastly, is there any easy way to tell where the hard drive space is being used? (Kind of like the pie charts in Windows Explorer)
Thanks

Leopard on its own takes up about 9 GB. An additional 4 to 5 GB is taken up by additional applications that come prebundled with a Mac. To find out what's occupying space, see my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
Most applications uninstall by just dragging them to the trash and emptying the trash. Some leave behind crumbs in the preferences or library folder, and come with their own uninstaller program on their disk image or optical disk installer. A few have no uninstaller but can be removed with http://www.appzapper.com/
Check with the vendor if there are specific system independent resources they install, so you don't find yourself with resources that won't survive a system update, or the installation of another application which require those resources to be of a different version, such as fonts.

Just ordered a Mac Pro, A few questions

I just ordered a Mac Pro, with a few options from apple, and some parts from Newegg. I just have a few questions.
What webcam should I get?
I have 3 500 GB HDD's one for OSX, one for Vista and one for Time Machine. Is there a way to make the OSX drive and windows drive play nice (read/write access) with each other?
How hard is it to set up boot camp?
What does it take to prepare the DVR-115 to be added? Does the front face plate have to be removed?
I'm sure more will come up, so I'll keep asking

Vista will format its drive using NTFS which is a read-only filesystem to OS X. You will not be able to exchange files across the OS X and Vista drives. You can install third-party software in Vista to enable read/write of Mac drives - MacDrive by MediaFour.
Boot Camp setup is quite easy. You already have it so open the Boot Camp Assistant and click the button to print out the documentation.
Installing the extra optical drive is done inside the MP box. There's a mounting tray and assembly. There's an Apple manual for the installation: Optical Drive Carrier Replacement Instructions.

Switching from PC - Have a few questions

I have read the forums and talked to AppleCare support and I have a few questions on the Mac Pro.
1. I was told by Apple that using RAM other than the overpriced "Apple" brand would void the warranty (I typically use matched Mushkin or Crucial)- is there any point in getting the AppleCare insurance then?
2. Appple told me that Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM HD's were not supported, yet I see a number of you use this drive - are you using a SATA adapter or putting it one of the 4 drive bays?
3. Am I limited to Apple's Superdrive DVD/CD or will any ATAPI drive work?
4. The graphics card situation is pathetic - does anyone know is there are planned updates before I spend $700 on 2 ATI 1900's to run 2 30" Cinema displays. Does Apple typically come out with new products at the same time each year?
5. Does anyone know of software to control multiple monitors i.e. Designate virtual desktops on a specific monitor, or specify that Application A opens on monitor 1 while Application B opens on monitor 2?
Any help will be appreciated - Apple doesn't seem to be very forthcoming on these topics - I am still anxious to rid myself of the virus a day problem and Microsoft software that becomes slower and less productive with every revision.

1. I was told by Apple that using RAM other than the overpriced "Apple" brand would void the warranty (I typically use matched Mushkin or Crucial)- is there any point in getting the AppleCare insurance then?
It won't void the warrantee (unless you damage the computer when installing it), but it won't be covered. If it goes for service, remove the non-Apple memory first (it's a good idea to do that first, anyway, to see if it fixes the problem).
2. Appple told me that Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM HD's were not supported, yet I see a number of you use this drive - are you using a SATA adapter or putting it one of the 4 drive bays?
Same as above.
3. Am I limited to Apple's Superdrive DVD/CD or will any ATAPI drive work?
No. Most ATA (or SATA) optical drives will work.
5. Does anyone know of software to control multiple monitors i.e. Designate virtual desktops on a specific monitor, or specify that Application A opens on monitor 1 while Application B opens on monitor 2?
Many application remember the last monitor they used. Some (e.g. Graphics Converter) have preference settings to put the main window on one display, the controls on the other. Some (e.g QuickTime Player, VLC have view settings to put the full screen output on a selected monitor.

I just switched from EXCEL to numbers and have a lot of problems

Problem1. I converted an excel spread sheet to Numbers. The excel sheet subracted two dates to determine if date 1 was earlier or equal or later than date 2. The result was used in an IF statement to take various actions in either of the three cases. Numbers tells me I can't compare "durations" to other data types, and I can't subtract a date from a number. Hmmm?! In Excel dates are numbers so this is not a problem. How can I avoid this, or convert the duration to a number?
Problem 2. In reading the Numbers help manuals, I can't find the operation that corresponds to "fill down" in Excel, such as when you install a formula on a column and want the same formula in each cell down below. Numbers seems to take great pains to show me how to install various colors and styles, but not a simple formula.
Help Please.

Jerry,
1. A Date is a particular data type, distinct from Numeric values. Hard to say why you are getting that message without seeing your data. I suggest this approach:
If one date is in Column A and the other date is in Column B, you could write:
=IF(A>B, "A is later", "B is later")
There is no reason to do a subtraction unless you want to use the difference in a calculaiton.
2. Yes, Numbers supports Fill
Write your expression in the first calculation cell. Select that cell and all the ones below it that you want to Fill to.
Choose Insert > Fill > Fill Down
Regards,
(also) Jerry

Just upgraded to Outlook 2007 - sync OK - question

Now syncing is fine on my iPod Touch. Calendars & Contacts ok.
But in the process of restoring my Touch I lost the paid apps I had installed.
Does Apple keep track of my purchases so I can get them again?
I also lost all my music (which I sync with my home machine) I assume I can just get these off of that machine. Right?

Do you see your Outlook calendar on the iCloud website?
Do you see your iCloud calendar on your iPhone?

Even when I remove it from Excel option, Add in, the Essbase automatically re-load everytime I close Excel 2007.
My Question:
Is there any way to temporary remove the Essbase Add-in one time off and allowed me to select
the add-in when I need it .

Hi,
Please follow below steps to remove Excel Add-in from Excel 2007: -
1- Open Excel 2007 and click on icon placed at top left corner and select option 'Excel Options'.
3- Now select option 'Add-In' from left window menu and then click on button 'Go' appears on the bottom of right window. It will open a new window.

I have just switched from windows and bought myself a new mac mini, only had it a few weeks and already getting message not enough free space. Help, surely cant be out of space already

I have just switched from windows and bought myself a new mac mini, only had it a few weeks and already getting message not enough free space. Help, surely cant be out of space already

It sounds unlikely of course. But from your question it's hard to tell what might have filled your HDD. Are you constantly on file sharing or has filled the drive with movies?
Best way to tell is to start checking what folders occupy space. "Get Info" for the HDD and its subfolders is a way to start checking where the data in question resides.
And as BGreg say, call Apple support is also a good way to begin with.

Just got a Macbook and have a few questions

Ok, so I just got my Macbook laptop today and because I have never owned a Mac product i just had a few questions
First off, is it safe to be plugged into the internet right off the bat or do I need to go out and buy some antivirus software? i have heard from some people that macs have built in antivirus and that they are also just in general less likely to get a virus then your average pc.
also just wondering, when i play a cd the disk reader/laser? whatever you would want to call it makes alot more noise then i expected it to. i didnt know if that was normal or not, and just wanted some opinions from other macbook users. thanks!!

On these forums, just about anyone you ask will say that there is no reason to get antivirus software. Most mac users don't have any installed. It's not viruses on the mac you really need to be worried about; it's stupid stuff like phishing or scams - things that don't have anything to do with the operating system - that you just have to watch out for. You'll be fine without antivirus software. The thing I really liked about my mac (windows user all my life; switched 6 months ago, haven't regretted it) is that instead of worrying about viruses and keeping my anti-virus/spyware software always up to date, I was just able to start using my mac, right out of the box.
They do make antivirus software for macs. If you really are that worried about it, go to:
http://www.clamxav.com/
The ironic thing is that it checks for windows viruses (someone correct me if I'm wrong) so you don't pass them on. A windows virus won't have any effect on your mac.
Surf the net. Be productive. Stop worrying. Have fun. Welcome to Apple.
...not a bad little slogan
EDIT - wow, a million people posted while I was writing this reply. meh.

Few questions about 3750X stack switch

Dear,
I have just joined this helpful community. Since I am still a newbie, it is my hope to comprehend through our discussions. I would like to ask few questions about 3750X stack switch:
What kind of switches are considered as provisioned switch?
What is the purpose of using provision switch?
Which advantages does a provision switch provide? If we don't use provision feature, what would be happened?
Thank you very much. Look forward to reading your replies.

Ivan's reference provides the details, but in real world where provisioned switches are nice include: if a switch member fails, that's switch member's configuration is still present and can be used on a like model replacement.
Also: for new stack members, being able to provision the new switch stack, before you add it to the stack, save a little time when you add the stack member to the stack. I.e. you can provision the stack member ahead of time, and then when you add the stack member, as soon as it joins the stack, it has the desired configuration.

A few questions on switching from my powermac G5 to a 17" macbook pro

Hi, picking up at used macbook pro on monday(Apple MacBook Pro MA611LL/A 17" Notebook PC (2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive)
I'm going to use it as my main machine with an external keyboard and mouse hooked up, along with an external 23" cinema display in extended desktop mode. Then when I need to work somewhere else I'll just unplug it and go.
A few questions from a new macbook user:
• What's the best way to migrate all my apps, data, photos, etc. Should I use migration assistant? I'm a web designer with dozens of small apps that I may not have the installers for but would like to do a fresh install of the ones I have like CS3. With migration assistant can I just pick some apps to move over, or do they all move over and does it transfer the registration info in case I misplaced certain serial numbers?
• I'll be selling my desktop, I know you can only install CS3 on one machine, how do I get the CS3 "unactivated" on my Desktop so I can install it on the macbook pro? I own the copy of CS3 and have the dvd's and such.
• I have a TON of Dreamweaver sites defined, whats the simpleist way to transfer the site info over so I don't have to track down all of that ftp info for every site?
• I have over a year of Time Machine backups on my current desktop machine, do I transfer those over somehow so my macbook reads them or is it just better to start over with a fresh time machine backup?
• Will I have any issues with my Iphone or appletv with itunes thinking I'm authorizing a new computer but I'm really only going to be having one machine?
• The person I'm buying it from is doing a clean install of the system, when I get it should I go ahead and do a fresh Leopard install just to make sure its done properly, and if so is there are there "best practices" on doing that?
• Any other tips or advice?
Thanks in advance, I know thats a lot of questions?
Jeff

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2
L2 Cache:

2 GB
Bus Speed:
800 MHz

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Just bought a powermac g4, few questions

i just bought this machine today and i had a few questions with it, installing leopard as we speak.. so far 2003 model MDD with a 1.25 dual , 2 GB of ram.. i opened the case up and noticed a copper heatsink.. is this a factory installed heatsink or no. i thought the 1.25's get the aluminum one.

Nice bonus! 47C is quite good if you're not running CHUD with nap mode.
well i think i should be pretty safe about overclocking the G4 dont you think?
It depends on what you have. IMO, 7455A would be best left alone even with the copper heatsink. 7455B, on the other hand, might be tempting to experiment with. Browse through the reader reports at Xlr8yourmac.com. A lot of folks report these running stable at 1.42 or even 1.5 without any adjustments to core voltage. Of course, there are no guarantees. Take care when removing resistors in case you have to bridge those contacts later.

New Macbook Pro owner, just a few questions?

I just bought my Macbook pro around a month ago, I just had a few questions since this is my first Apple computer.
1. My screen often gets smuges on it, any suggestions on what to use to clean the screen without damaging?
2. I have a PC that I rarely ever turned off, anyone know whether or not it would be more beneficial to shut down the laptop everynight or keep it running?
3. Do you suggest keeping up with all of the software updates that become available?
4. Can I watch DVDs and Blu-ray movies on this laptop? are they able to be saved?
5. Any other tips / suggestions would be great! Like I've said, this is my first apple computer, after a month I am still trying to get used to it.
Thanks!

1. In MacBook: Care, Use, and Safety Information, Apple says:
Dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or paper with water only and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
That's what I do. Microfiber cloths are so effective at removing fingerprints and grime that they can sometimes do it without water, but a little water helps microfiber cloths a lot. Because of the way microfiber cloths work, chemicals are rarely needed. Apple warns against using "aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives" because your screen has coatings that can be scratched or eaten away by the wrong chemicals. iKlear products are safe, but they cost significantly more than cloths and water.
2. I am also one of the many Mac users who rarely shut down or reboot their MacBook Pro. My friends and I routinely go weeks without rebooting, we just close the lid at night and it sleeps. This is great because it allows the Mac to be instant-on: open the lid and all your open apps and documents are where you left them, with zero startup time.
Part of the reason for being able to run for long periods of time is that OS X is based on Unix, which was originally written as an operating system for servers, which require stability during 24/7 operation and long uptimes between reboots.
3. It is best to keep up with all security updates that become available, since they are about security. After that, you can install other available updates whenever you want. If you don't want to be updating all the time just wait until you want to click the Update button, like maybe updating only on the weekends if you want.
4. If your MacBook Pro has an internal optical drive it will play DVDs. No Macs play Blu-ray Discs unless they have an extra cost drive and third-party software. You can rip DVDs using software like Mac DVDRipper Pro; I use that and then I run them through HandBrake (popular on Mac and Windows) to convert for my phone, tablet, and Plex for my TV.
5. In general Macs don't need a lot of maintenance because many maintenance routines that used to be manual have been built into the normal operation of the system.
