Looking for the appropriate spot to post my question....
This Feedback about the Discussions forum is intended for questions about how to use Apple Discussions
......but not sure where this one should go: looking for info & advice as to what Mac configuration I should build/buy with a $2000 --> $2500 budget.
Thought it would be fun to post a 'Wish List' from other Mac users if they could set up a system from the ground up with the above budget limitations.
I'm currently an iLamp user who's in need of more computing power for working with digital photos and just recently I started shooting underwater video so I need a bit more power than what my iLamp can deliver.
But first: where do I post this question???

Hi, Modiver -
There is no forum in Discussions perfectly designed for your type question - all forums are specific to certain hardware or software. Perhaps it would be a good idea for our Hosts to add a forum for this purpose.
You can do some prescreening of your own in order to find the best hardware forum to discuss this in. A good place to do that is in the Apple Store - check out the specs of the machines in your price range. Don't forget to allow space in your budget for additional items, such as for a monitor for the Mac Pro or Mac Mini models, and for software.
For example, are you looking for a laptop type machine, or a desktop type?
Do you need, or envison a need for, any expandability beyond adding RAM?
Examine the specs of current models, run up a cost total including ancillary hardware (extra RAM, monitor if needed, etc.), and compare the results. Then go into the hardware forums for the two or three best choices and discuss the models vs. your needs with the folk there.

Looking for the right place to post.
We have developed a tool that reads the xml file created by Discoverer's Export feature and renders pictorial views of table relationships. Where is the best place to post a PPS so that interested people can have a look at it?
Hello User.

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.
The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.
DaveHi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Looking for the App icon for Illustrator CS1 (version 11) Mac - just the icon.
Silly request....
I'm working on a project and need the transparent icon from Illustrator CS (version 11).
It's a magenta flower on a white box.
Looks like this:
(This one is not transparent whereas the actual icon is)
If you have CS installed on a Mac, it would really be great it if you could Control-Click on the actual App, choose Show Package Contents. Then look in Contents -> Resources and find a file called All_Application_Icon.icns.
Here's what it looks like for CS2:
Double-click that file (it will open in Preview on the Mac) and then choose File > Export and select PNG. Then simply attached that PNG to a post here using the little camera icon.
If you are on a Windows machine, I'm also looking for the Illustrator 4 icon. There was no version 4 for the Mac so I don't have access to that icon at all. It's possible the 4 icon looks like version 5 through 6.......
But I don't know. It may look closer to version 3....Hi, Alex -
If you are accessing iDisk while booted to OS 9, you are probably using the utility Goliath to do so.
The icon you reference looks much like those in the set used by Goliath, which can be found in the icl8 resource in the Goltiath program.
Tip - in OS 9, when you copy-paste an icon to a folder to give the folder a custom icon, an invisible file named "icon" is created and placed in the folder. This invisible file contains the "icl" family of resources for the custom icon. This resource is easily opened using ResEdit, and perhaps by other icon manipulation utilities, and eliminates a lot of the clutter associated with opening a program in ResEdit to get to the icl resources.
Because of changes to the icon formats ResEdit itself no longer works well in OS 9.1 and later for alteration or modification of an icon. However, there is a utility that will allow you to create custom icons or modify existing ones -

For Mac OSX version 10.9.4 looking for the preference tab
I want to print just a portion of a page but can't find a preference tab. I highlight a section of a page so I can print just that section but I am unable to find a preference tab, I have a HP 6600 all in one and have a new Mac version 10.9.4 Mac OSX
What am I missing?Hi pagosselin,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are looking for the preference tab in Mac OS X 10.9.4 with your HP 6600 so you can print just a section. and I am happy to help you!
Please try the following:
Reset the printing system. OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
Make sure you have the full feature software and drivers installed. HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
After that you will want to make sure the correct driver is selected. Make sure it says HP Officejet 6600 instead of the HP Photosmart that is shown in these images, and not Airprint.
Let's start with that, and we will go from there!

Where do I look for the security key when I download an item. Your website says your key is 0xD0261077?
Your question is somewhat terse, and I might infer you're conflating the PGP key used for Apple security-related email communications with cryptographic hashes (message digests) used to verify the integrity and the origin of files, and with digitally-signed binaries. While these areas are somewhat related, details vary. (If you're already familiar with this stuff, my apologies.)
The Apple PGP key is used to sign (verify) messages from the security folks at Apple, and can be to encrypt messages sent to the Apple security folks. See this Apple Security PGP web page for details on using the PGP key for message verification and for message encryption.
File downloads are implemented differently, and will generally involve a particular cryptographic hash or message digest (and not necessarily a PGP key), and what might be used used varies by the particular website and the download involved, with some sites using the older and insecure MD5, and with others increasingly using some variation of the less-insecure SHA cryptographic hash. Depending on the scheme used, these can protect against corruptions, or can also be used to sign the binaries. The system that Apple is encouraging developers to use is called Developer ID.
Shell commands used and useful here include md5 and various openssl commands for the sha hashes/digests.
If you have a particular public web site or file download, post a pointer and I'll have a look. -
I cannot add a Wi-Fi guest network. Gone to Utilities>Airport Utilities and all I get is an image/browser of my Airport Extreme. Looking for the browser window which has the title Wireless but cannot find anywhere. What am I doing wrong?
Open AirPort Utility. The first screen looks something like this:
Click on the AirPort Extreme and another screen will appear. Click Edit, then the window with the Wireless tab will appear.
If you do not see these screens, you will need to start over and configure your AirPort again. -
Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder
I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PMSo, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location. -
How to look for the Table Name
Hi Friends,
Sometimes we need to download the table for the desired information if the same is not available from a particular report. How to look for the table name? Is there a report or a particular feild, where we can find the name of the particular table?
Thanks for the assistance.
RegardsHi Friend,
If you want to see the structures then go to SE11. Sometimes it happens that you cannot find the table names but only fields. In such case, if you want to find the Table names which is not available, then go to SE90.
Abap Dictionary > Fields > Table Fields.
Now Enter the Field name in Right Hand Side of the screen then Execute. You will see the all tables by which that Fields are used.

Where to look for the computed stats collected using gather_table_stats
I have used analyze command before but new to gather_table_stats.
I have executed gather_table_stats procedure as given below. Now where to look for the statistics estimated and also what are the important parameters I need to look in the stats ? Any major difference between analyze & gather_table_stats ?
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname => 'TPDBS01A', tabname => 'x_TPD_STG_TL_SF_LEGAL_OWN
ER' , estimate_percent => 50, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.The command "analyze table" is deprecated for gathering optimizer statistics. But it is still the only command to get for instance the chained rows. This command is no longer maintained for new features, so if you use this command to collect statistics, it might not collect all needed numbers for the optimizer so the plan could be wrong.
The package dbms_stats is collecting all the figures that the optimizer needs to genererate an optimal access plan. All new database features are incorporated only here.
The statistics numbers can be found in the normal tables like USER|ALL|DBA_TABLES, ...TAB_COLUMNS, ...INDEXES, ...IND_COLUMNS etc. There you can find for instance number of rows in table, clustering factor for indexes and more numbers like this. They are not really needed for us human beings, they are used by the optimizer to generate the access plan. -
