Mortgage Scores.... Need Advice Pls

Hey Myfico, I was looking at my scores and I saw my mortgage scores are very low. My current Fico 8 scores are Eq 657 Tu 695 Ex 644 but my mortage scores are Eq fico 5-650,Tu fico 4-624 and Ex fico 2-499.... why? and how do I get those scores up? I want to buy a house next year or so. I only have a few cards reporting with low limits that's in my sig but I've also had about 5 auto loan with perfect history and 2 personal with perfect history, all paid off except my Bmw lease which I have another year with. (Discover card for $1400 not reporting yet) I'm not gonna say I've been good all the way because I do have a few lates on my cap one card... last late was 7 months ago.Are there any cards I would qualify for now with my TU score? I have one baddie that's a 600 charge off but paid.Help me please!!

Pay down credit card balances and don't miss any payments.

New to SAP PLM ( I need advice pls)

Hi,
I will appreciate some advice please.
I'm interested in SAP and plan to gain certification in SAP PLM (Project Management Modules), but I've not got any SAP experience. I've got under 3yrs experience in Project Administrator, Support and Coordinator type roles, got my Certification in PRINCE 2 Practitioner level, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Practitioner level, PPSO and ITIL foundation level.
Where will you advice I place myself looking for a SAP role, Iu2019m not looking to get a consultancy type role or anything like that, just something that will get me into the SAP career path with my project background.
Also is SAP PLM the best or only focus for me given my Project background?
Finally, any advice on companies that will consider someone with my profile?
Thanks,
Fumi

I need help!! Rebuilding and need advice..

Hello, I am pretty new to this forum, but Ive found alot of info out here (so thanks)! My situation is pretty dire, but its getting better. I have been working on my credit for about 8 months through Lexington. They have improved, but not that much. I am currently in the market for a vehicle. I have two cars paid off (buy-here pay-here), and they both are on their last legs. My mom uses one and Im in the other. Recently, the one Im driving can barely go. So I have to get something ASAP!About 2 weeks ago, my scores were Eq:614 Exp:609 Trans:720..I dont understand why the gap is so large between Exp/Eq and Trans but thats what myFico was saying. I decided to try and get approved just to see if it was even possible. I was approved through Roadloans with no money down, 18% interest, $287/mth for 72 mths on a 13,500 loan. I know that is high, but I felt good to know I was even approved. After reading these posts, I realized if I apply for auto credit withing a certain timeframe, they will be considered as 1 hard pull. So, I applied other places..online and called around. I was approved for 3 different loans, and decided to take the one from a dealership. The loan is for $15,000, pymts $350, interest 14.9% for 5 1/2yrs for 2013 Nissan Maxima with 56,000 miles. I know this rate is ridiculous, but I have feel I have no choice. My plan is to take this offer, but pay off early. I'll continue paying my bills on time, get my scores raised and hopefully re-fi next year. Now, my scores are Eq:607 Exp:607 Trans:698 from hard pulls I assume.As I understand this is something most of you would not do, I simply do not have a choice. I have been at my bank for about 4 years with no negativity or insufficient funds. I deposit money from my chk every week and have a good relationship with them. However, they check Equifax and score has to be 625. I dont have the time to wait for it to increase. CU is not an option (only one where I live), because I just found out I have an old account there which is $85 that has to be paid. I will pay that in full this week.. They said I can only get a savings (for 3 mths I think), before even considering a checking acct. So, I know I couldnt get a loan at this time with them. So, Im interested in knowing where to go from here? What is timeframe I can expect to refinance? Where does my scores need to be? Im just getting back on my feet, in my last semester of school and anticipate my income being alot more next year. Income now $32,000 annually.Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated!:-)

Thanks so much for your response and suggestions!! I do have all 3 credit reports..Ive been tracking them for awhile and watching them move (like a hawk)! Lol! I did go ahead with the car and loan, because I really had no choice (as I mentioned earlier). Thanks for that advice. It made me feel better knowing that someone else agreed on moving forward. You mentioned if I have at least 3 cc's, that will help more with the Fico scoring. I do have 2 capital one cc..one of them CL is $750. The other is $2000..just got an increase about 2-3 wks ago. I have store cards..JCPenney, Belk, Torrid, TJMaxx, ranging from $100-$500 CL. I dont know if the store cards are considered cc though, so am I covered with the cc or do I need another credit card, such as cap one?As far as the credit unions, I also see many people speaking highly of DCU. I thought all credit unions had stipulations with becoming a member, such as a family member being a member or working at a certain place. I did have a chance to browse over the website (DCU), so Ill apply for this today. What do you mean by "share account"? Is this just a checking or savings at a credit union?I will definitely keep payments current and on time. I also dont have lexington anymore. I was just using them to help with credit score to get a car. Now that I have that, as you said, that payment can go towards my car payment!:-)Thanks so much with your reply! I appreciate more than you'll ever know. Great suggestions! And since you took time to reply in such a helpful way..I wanted to ask about the meaning of terms in the forums. What does gardening and watering mean? Lol! I think that's some of what Ive been reading. You also mentioned, "As Dory said in 'Finding Nemo' to keep swimming..", I assume that means to keep going with trying to get on track. Am I right? Im just not familiar with alot of terms and abbreviations (in the forums), so I was hoping you could help me out.:-) Thanks (SO MUCH) again, and I look forward to hearing from you!You're welcome - 'Just keep swimming' means keep going, keep trying hard, never give up.'Gardening' and watering means not to apply for new credit and let your accounts grow, maybe asking for a CLI now and then, but pretty much just trying to grow without new apps.You said you have 2 CCs and some store cards, the store cards count as revolving credit accounts, so you are covered. In a manual review with a human, the store cards do not have as much merit as a large company CC does, but just during a manual review, like for a mortgage or asking a CCC to reconsider their decision.DCU is a great CU also. Many of the CUs that want to have exposure to more customers have made changes to membership requirements, like SDFCU. I dont work for the Federal Government but they did have an option I could qualify under, however, even though I am a military vet, I cant qualify for membership at the Navy Federal CU.I would suggest reading in the Rebuilding Forum, where there is lots of good info, including the abbreviations commonly used:http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Helpful-Rebuilding-Threads/td-p/224981 The amounts of your CC limits arent critically important right now, just that they are revolving accounts and you pay on time. CLs are important as you try to grow your credit, as in a new app getting a higher starting line because you have others that are high. Example - CC one gives you a 2k line and you get a new CC, they might give you 5k to get you to like them better and use them. New CC three says hey, I can give you 7.5k and so on. Glad you fired Lexington and can put that 'retainer fee' to much better use! Good luck on rebuilding and getting that auto refinanced. ETA: A 'share account' in a CU is like a savings account in a bank organization.

Need advice about certification: do J2SE 1.4 or wait for 1.5 to go out?

I need advice here! I am studing for Java Programmer certification (310-035) and I know now that the certification does not have any expiration date, instead it's version based. So, if I get now a J2SE 1.4 certification, soon it will be outdated... I guess!
Does anyone know or have any ideia of WHEN java 1.5 sdk will be avaliable, and anyone can tell me how long it will take for a new 1.5 programmer certification be avaliable for general public?

Do both. 1.5 is far enough away that you do not want to wait for it.
And besides, 1.5 has enough new stuff in it that you'll want to recertify anyway.

Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
Much obliged for any input

PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED. Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

Need advice on video software.

Need advice on video software.
I currently use adobe elements 3 and have done so for a few years now with no problems. my os is XP and my system is a couple of years old, but we do have a brand new win7 machine in the house.
I am currently look at Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra OR Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Reviews for both softwares seem very good BUT, when I dig deeper into user reviews instead of editor reviews do I find problems.
Major problems with program crashing all over the place, at start up etc, and it is still not getting along with any win7 machine? Major problems with drivers. Honestly, I do not want to have to jump through dozens of hoops to get any software to run. After I pay for it, it should run, period.
Has anyone else here used both softwares and can you give an honest opinion of each?
I am also asking these same questions on the cyberlink site.
I would like to upgrade my video software to take advantage of the new features that are coming out but I really don't want a big headache trying to run one or the other. To be fair, when I bought adobe elements 3 I had also bought pinnacle, which has gathered dust since my first week with it, which is why elements was purchased. That was money wasted and I do not wish to repeat this. I would like to go with Premiere Elements 8 but remain very unsure.

If your newer machine is Win7 64-bit, it might be worth waiting for SP-1 to be issued, and then hope that 64-bit drivers are fully included. The 64-bit drivers now seem t be an issue at this point, and that will affect any NLE program.
Also, and regardless of which particular program you choose, optimizing your computer, the OS, the hardware, and the resources management, will go a very long way to insuring success. Few programs can tax a computer, as an NLE can - any NLE. Video and Audio editing will stress your system, like almost nothing else can, except for heavy-duty CAD, or 3D work, though those are usually done only on specialized, optimized computers, designed just for those applications.
Not the specific advice that you seek, but it's the best that I can do.
Good luck,
Hunt

I need advice: I love my apple TV. But my laptop at home, only has a 750gig hard drive. Is there a possibility of having all my media on an external hardrive to still connect to the Apple TV?

I need advice: I love my apple TV. But my laptop at home, only has a 750gig hard drive. Is there a possibility of having all my media on an external hardrive to still connect to the Apple TV?
Is there like in a hard drive of which iTunes can read the media, which will not require me to add and delete media onto iTunes, because of a lack of space on my laptop?

just get an ext HD, and point your itunes library to that drive so now you'll just keep all your media on this ext

JMS to Synchronous Web Service Scenario (Need Advice to use BPM or Not)

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario where we fetch data from JMS Sender and Send it to MDM Webservices.
We want to have the files processed in such a way that until we get a response from webservice back that it was sucessful ,then only we need to process the next file.
We would need advice as can we use BPM for this.
We are thinking of having BPM like this:
RecieveStep(Asyn)-SynchronousSend Step(with wait)-Stop
The problem with this is when processing huge files the processing time of the Queue is taking very long and sometimes we are getting SYSFAIL.
Please would anyone advice as how can we approach this scenario either using BPM or without.
Also Can we use multiple queues or multpile instances concept for this scenario.
Please Advice.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
J

Hi Prateek,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
The response from Webservice does not need to be sent anywhere.
We just want that after recieving the response back from webservice(SOAP) then only we need to process the next file.
Can we control something from Sender JMS adapter side as well as it is picking up all the files and all files wait at BPE until each one gets processed.
Is this possible without BPM or with BPM.
Please advice as what wud be possible steps inorder to achive it through BPM or Without BPM.
Thanks and Regards,
J

Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
(Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

What OSX version?
Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.

I'm desperately needing advice to a common question. I use Quicken and love it. But the Mac version is not as great as the PC.   Has anyone installed it by segmenting their Mac with Parallels or Fusion or Boot camp. If so, which one do you recommend.

I'm desperately needing advice. New Mac.   Used Quicken on my PC. Researched all software for Financial programs and Quicken is still the most recommended.   I want to use Quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is not highly rated so I would need to partition my Mac.   Has anyone done this for their quicken program and if so, which partitioning program did you use - Parallels, Fusion ware or Boot camp?
Thx

Thanks. Hadn't heard of it. ? Is there any concern installing this free program on my Mac.    Have you used it? Apart from being free is there any other advantage of Parallels and VMfusion. ?
Virtual Box is safe and well developed, it offers similar or identical features to the paid competition, it may be a little less polished but that's all.
Download and try it out, nothing to lose (except time).

TV monitor display project, need advice.

So I will be starting a project soon for my job. It will require some content for a store lobby TV display screen. Basically I will be making some content, whether it be scrolling images, animations, or maybe a video clip playing automatically. I will have maybe all of these things to be played throughout the day in the lobby of my work for customers to be viewing. This is the first time I have taken on a project such as this and I'm not sure where to start. I need advice on what type of information I need in order to begin this such as what size to start my project as, format, etc. Thanks!

Hi,
You have two options:
1. Create the Edge Animation on the Computer, and play the animation and use some screen capture software that will give you a video. This video you can play on your lobby TV in loop.
2. If the lobby TV is a smart tv (i.e. it has browser to navigate the webpage), then you can host the Edge animation content files on some server, and navigate to the server url, which will play the animation on the browser in the TV.

Simple Question, need advice. BOBJ vs. BI

I didn't know where to post this, but I need advice.
I have been working as a SAP BI Developer for past 2 years. I have an opportunity to transition into BOBJ (means I will not be in BI team).
Wanted to know if this is a good career move, but have few questions.
1) Which is easier BOBJ or BI?
2) Which is more in demand and will be for next 10 years?
3) I've heard that there's a very high chance to work from home as a BOBJ Developer compared to BI Developer? True/False?
4) Is pay for either the same?
Thanks in advance.

"Having extra cores will be a distinct advantage..." ?
Better optimized to take advantage or to handle the scheduling of threads?
Right now, it is a mixed bag and give applications a year to be recompiled and optimized - or longer. The transition to Leopard also has taken more than a year to get where it is.
I would not discount last year's 2.8GHz 8-core as a better buy and value.

Doc Project with format confusion- need advice

I have a documentary project with a plethora of footage formats because the doc spans a long length of time and different project collaborators. We just shot more footage and I don't want to move forward converting the new footage until I know the best path to take form here on out. please advise.
Here is the info.
Below i'm listing the descritption of footage, the format, and the % I'm predicting it will be used in the final edit of the documentary I'm working on.
Archival Footage: DV NTSC 720x480 (10%)
Original footage shot: DV NTSC 720x480 anamorphic (40%)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Panasonic HVX200: DVCPRO HD 720p60 29.97 (35% shared with canon 7D footage listed below)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Canon 7D: shot 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square. I converted this footage to 720p60 29.97 to match the Panasonic footage but I still have the original files saved. (35% shared with hvx200 footage listed above)
New Footage shot with Canon 7D: 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square (15%)
Timelines:
- I edit the SD footage in timelines with SD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- I edit the HD footage in timelines with DVCPRO HD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- when footage of both formats ends up in one 'scene' the timeline is DV NTSC 720x480
- when I output a rough cut, I nested sequences and output DV NTSC 720x480
I have not converted the new footage yet and before I do convert it and then transform continue editing, I feel I need to re-evauluate how I'm approaching the multi-format situation. I need advice about the best path to take from here on out. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Should I upconvert the SD footage and do everything HD from now on? The final cut will probably be 50% SD and 50% HD with possibly more HD than SD.
If I do upconvert and go HD, is 720p60 29.97 the best format for me to use considering my footage sources? If you have any ideas, please also explain how you might go about carrying them out.
Thank you!

Exactly, whic is why I'm seeking advice. the final delivery will be film festival screenings and hopefully broadcast, and considering the channels today that = HD.
That's not a final decision at all, that's a series of delivery options. You must produce your project in the highest resolution for which you have space, codecs and techniucal competency.You will save that as the "final" but I'd not call it that since nothing is ever finalized. Jsut keep naming the versions. Then you will open the full rez version and use any of several conversion or compresiona apps to satisfy all other distribution needs.
The omst flexible will be a 1080/60 format but that decision will cost you tons of conversion time, lots of space, and will require many stylistic decisions along the way.
That's what I would do but I'm not you and I'm not your client.

Scanning Pictures for HD Project I Need Advice

I am about to *Scan Pictures for HD Project* I Need Advice. The scanner is a HP Scanjet G4050 my questions are:
1: At what resolution do I scan these pictures _+(300 or highest dpi available)+_
2: What color choice is necessary *(RGB vs CMYK)*
3: Can you please suggest points for creating a backdrop for the pictures (various sizes) in the Timeline
Thanks in advance

Scan the picture like you normally would. If the vertical resolution is 1080, you are fine. Don't worry about the 1280 width as black will be in that area not taken up with the photo. That part won't matter if it isn't 1280 if it is a vertical picture. If you don't have at least 1080 high, you might want to re-scan at a higher resolution. If you have it say, 2000 pixels high really no big deal except you don't need it that high and all that extra size slows down your system. If you want it at a lower resolution after you scan go into Photoshop->Image->Image size. Be sure and check "Constrain Proportions" before you change the dimensions in the top box for the height (where you are best using the units as pixels) That way the picture will stay in proportion. Don't use this second method to 'add' more pixels as the quality suffers when you go up this way. Rescan if you want MORE pixels.
All the above is talking about vertical pictures. If you have a really wide photo that is not very tall, use the same principle but keep the width constant. For example let's say you have a 2x6 inch photo. Make sure the width is at least 1280 pixels. Don't worry that the height will be less than 1080 because black will take up that space.
If you are going to do any zoom in and/or panning across a picture, you'll need to make sure it has more than the minimum pixels. For me a little goes a long way, so I zoom in slowly maybe 10-15%.
