Need advice about purchasing a dryer

Our dryer went out and we need some information about buying a new dryer. What's this hoopla about dryers not coming with a power cord? We don't need a venting kit as our old dryer still has a perfectly good venting system, but I find it strange that dryers cost so much money and then they want you to pay a ridiculous amount for the cord and then want to charge you to have someone install the cord for it. Gee I wish I was an electrician at this point as I could do it myself but don't want to ruin a new item I would purchase. I can't spend no more then $400 total on this.

Hey there hockey-
I’m by no means an appliance expert, but my understanding is that for safety, all dryers require a three plug power cord to make sure it’s adequately grounded.  In addition, building codes require that venting kits be upgraded or we won’t install the unit.
I’d recommend talking to our appliance experts at your local Best Buy when you get an opportunity as they can better explain these details as well as find you the exact dryer you’re looking for!

  • I need advice on purchasing a Macbook Pro

    Hello!
    I am seeking advice on purchasing my very first Mac (and notebook) very soon. I am a Graphic Design student and I'll primarily be using it for running the Adobe CS programs (photoshop, indesign etc). I don't really plan to do any gaming or major video rendering. Money is an issue here and I'll have to purchase the adobe software as well. I am looking at three options here:
    13 inch Macbook Pro 2011 (2.3 GHz i5, $1,099)
    15 inch Macbook Pro 2010 (Refurbished 2.4 GHz i5 $1,269)
    15 inch Macbook Pro 2011 (Refurbished 2.0 GHz i7 $1,529)
    The main concerns with the 13 inch MBP are the display size/resolution and the Integrated Graphics. Although I have a 22 inch external monitor at home, I am hoping the MBP's screen won't be an issue when I'm on campus or if I get a job. As for the Graphics, will it be sufficient enough for Motion Graphic programs such as Adobe After Effects or Apple Motion 5? If they aren't a problem, then I'll be leaning towards the 13 inch since I would also qualify for the $100 back to school promotion. As for the 15 inches, are the refurbished models the way to go? I'm a bit worried about purchasing a used MBP that's probably been used for around a year. If the 13 inch's screen size isn't sufficient and there are little to no problems with refurbs, then I might go with the 15 inch 2.4 GHz i5. Thanks for your time and input.

    Elgato EyeTV registers the following issues on: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/start
    EyeTV Lite 1.3.2 (5247)
    None.
    EyeTV 2.5.3 (3313) Remote control problems. Using the play/pause and menu buttons when using EyeTV trigger Front Row and iTunes at the same time.
    EyeTV 3.1.2 (5237) Some users are experiencing digital audio problems; refer to this page to get a beta preview of version 3.1.3
    http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/snowleopard/slcompat.html
    says version 3.2 is already available and fully compatible. It would sound that the Wiki hasn't been updated to include those experienced with 3.2. Maybe you want to submit a wiki update when you get an Intel Mac. To confirm, Macintouch is not a typo:
    http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/support.en.html#Snow%20Leopard
    It says version 3.2 is fully compatible. Version 3.1.3 which was a beta also mentioned on Macintouch is earlier than version 3.2. That's how they go about doing versions in the software world. So barring some unforseen bug, you should be good to go with EyeTV. Use both websites listed above to determine software compatibility. Sometimes one may be more current than the other. Apple has also made a current list of compatible printers and scanners here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    Regardless of the compatibility, upgrading you should always make a couple backups ahead of time, in case of hidden issues with your machine. See my FAQ* on upgrading:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    If you find you need a Leopard 10.5 compatible Intel Mac for your other software, purchase a used or refurbished Mac that was made prior to August 28, 2009 with the guidelines on my FAQ*:

  • Need advice about zip rar files

    Here's wishing you all a very happy New Year!! Mr Greenhorn is back again! I have a question about zip and rar files. As some of you may remember, this is my first Mac, so I'm used to using the zip/rar programme on my old Windows O/S. Now I receive zip/rar files and can't open them. What is anyone's advice about downloading the zip/rar programme onto my Mac? Any particular pro's and con's? Any particular site to download from? Now my Mac has a compression programme included which converts files to zip files, but is that compatible to the actual zip/rar programme? And finally, where is the advantage to compressing files? Is it only for uploading or is there some benefit to having files 'compressed' on your actual laptop?

    Hi There
    Mac OS X has a built in Archive Utility which doesn't support .rar files. To uncompress rar files you will need a utility like RAR Expander or Stuffit Expander both are free. I suggest doing a search on MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com) or VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com) to find a programme that you like.
    I personally don't see any advantage with keeping compressed files on your laptop (unless the archives being used often for emailing, uploading to websites etc). Compressing files does save disk space but if you get to the point where you need to compress your files to gain disk space then I suggest buying an external HD or a bigger internal HD.
    Hope this helps

  • Need advice about coalesce and deallocate unused space

    Hi experts;
    Here looking for an advice about coalesce and deallocate unused space.
    I got this tablespace with 87% full, one of the table in that tablespace has 1,150,325 records.  I'm going to delete 500,000 records from that table, but to release the space used by those records I understand that I need to execute other procedure. I was reading about coalesce tablespace and deallocate unused space.
    I found that apparently, both process can help me to free space. If you want to share with me your comments, about  advantages or disadvantages about them, in order I can take the best solution?
    Thanks for your comments.

    Hi
    after deleted rows, the high water mark is still the same and so the size of the table. you need to bring down the water mark
    here is what you need to do to bring down the high water mark. We do this monthly for performance purpose.
    This is an EBS R12 system  but the procedures are the same for EBS database or non EBS database.
    After you purge or delete data in a table
    1) alter table APPLSYS.WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES move; <-- this operation will invalidate all indexes attache to the table
    2)select owner, index_name, status from dba_indexes  -- list all invalid object for user APPLSYS
    where table_owner = upper('APPLSYS')
    and
    status NOT IN ('VALID','N/A');
    3)spool idxrebuild.sql --generate script to rebuild indexes.
    select 'alter index ' ||owner||'.'||index_name ||' rebuild online;'  from dba_indexes
    where table_owner = upper('APPLSYS')
    and
    status <> 'VALID';
    4) run idxrebuild.sql   -- to rebuild indexes.  -- at this point if you check spaces on the table, it is still the same, you need to run #5
    5)exec fnd_stats.gather_schema_stats ('APPLSYS');  --fnd_stat is for EBS system you can replace with the database equivalent command.
    use this statement to count the block before and after the operation to see the different.
    select DISTINCT(SEGMENT_NAME), count(blocks) "Total Block" from dba_extents
    where
    owner IN ('APPLSYS')
    AND segment_name = 'WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES'
    Hope this help.

  • Need advice about transfering files

    Hello. I just got a new mac through an education deal at school. I hate this process of transferring files from one computer to the next but have never done it from one Mac to another before so thought it would be pretty smooth. Im new to the whole Migration Assistant and so need some advice about what to do next.
    I tried using migration assistance upon first turning on my new mac but was using wireless and it just wasnt working. My computer kept saying my new mac wasnt responding and I kept having to select ok or cancel every minute and with 15 hours to go, i thought f^*# it. So I decided to just start the computer up and manually transfer files. Then I found an ethernet cable, turned file sharing on and am using my public folder to transfer but its turning into The Most Tedious task and things arent transferring properly (like certain folders arent copying contents, just the folder itself).
    Now Im wishing I could have used migration assistant from the start but what can you do. I cant just re-install the mac os software and try again because before we got our new macs they installed some programs for us, like Logic, and I dont really wanna mess with that.
    Whats my best option at this stage? Ive transferred about a gig of pictures and documents over so far (and I think my old hard drive is about 60 gig full) but theres a bunch of other little things like iphoto, imovie, garageband, stickies, as well as big folders of music (and itunes - playlists etc) that I wanna make sure get copied in entirety. Will migration assistant handle that? Is it best to delete the stuff Ive transferred so far and let it start fresh? What would you do?
    Sorry my post is so long
    Message was edited by: girrrl

    Also, now that I have an ethernet cable, if I go ahead and use migration assistant to transfer the account from my old computer, will Logic only be available through the new account I have set up on my new computer? Would I have to log out of one account and into the other and back and forth to access the different files/programs? Any help would be much appreciated

  • Need advice about making a application log over every task succsessfully done to a target

    Hi!!!
    I need an advice about how to make an application log over every task succsessfully done to a target with an unique ID.
    I have developed an application with several tasks on the menu which have to be done in a certain order to program and test a target board,
    and the user want a log about which tasks are done to the target, so it is easy to know which step is next on the menu (It is a very routinebased  job).
    Do somebody have any good advice on how this can be done in a cleaver way ?
    Best regards,

  • I need advice about being part of the Twitter Army of Awesome Help

    I am grateful for the fact of Mozilla and I use Twitter a lot.
    Although I am not technically competent, I do have experience of using Mozilla and Thunderbird for quite some years and am willing to share my experience.
    I obviously do not want to make matters worse for questioners and need some advice about how to begin.
    Is there a Forum where Folk such as me can share experiences of answering Tweets and also just be given examples how the system works, please, or might it be better for me to resign before I start rather than cause complications for anyone?

    Thanks - I hope to have a check there, when I have more time, meanwhile I see that separately I have been sent an email asking for my experience etc.. -
    I plan to attend to that when I am less pressed for time, it may not be for some while though - my spirit is willing but resources few, but if I just learn to do some small things it spreads the load - and I guess I have made a very small start - I have wondered about it for years but that Awesome Tweet was the prompt that got me this far!

  • 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 about a WiFi set-up

    Dear Gang,
    I want to have a pure 802.11n network using the 5 ghz spectrum and the wide array setting. However, I have one desktop computer that is 802.11g. I'd like to run a 25 ft. Cat 5 cable to one of the LAN ports on the TimeCapsule and then shut-off the WiFi on this computer. However, strangely enough, I've always had all my computers (even desktops) networked via WiFi so I don't know how well using the LAN works.
    What are the thoughts of the group?
    I know that ethernet should give me greater speeds to the TC's hard drive and should solve my problem with bringing a non-802.11n machine in to a "pure" network, but I don't want to do so if the set-up is arduous or if doing so makes me lose a lot of features that I get in an all WiFi network.
    TIA,
    Mark

    dwb,
    I'll definitely take your advice about the ethernet cables - thank you.
    Your info is reassuring as it means that my dual G5 will get a little more life out of it by connecting it in to my "pure" system via ethernet.
    Two other quick questions:
    -should I connect my new iMac via ethernet to the router, too, even though it's capable of going on my system in 802.11n 5ghz?
    -also, as an aside, I'm trying to figure out if my new 802.11n network will equal my current 802.11g network in terms of distance as I have an Apple TV that's a few rooms over. That Apple TV gets about 4 bars of signal from my current network. Do you think that 802.11n at 5 ghz will have an equivocal range?

  • I need advice after purchasing a MacBook Pro in the USA for use in the UK.

    Hello all out there,
    I bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro in the USA last week and brought it back with me to the UK. I had been given an Apple World Adapter kit by the gentleman in the apple store, however I realised today that it isn't for the MacBook Pro and is only for iPads, iphones and ipods. This means that despite paying around $40, I am stuck. I need advice as to how to charge the laptop in the UK now? Is there an adapter for this or can I use any ordinary USA to UK adapter and stick it to the one I have from the USA?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Zainab

    AFAIK, the World Adapter kit has a replacement PLUG for the power brick. What you need is just something that can go into your country's wall socket, as the power brick itself is universal and can work from 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    In other words, you ARE aware that the power brick has removable plugs on the AC end, right?

  • New to Mac computers-need advice about hardware

    I purchased a Mac computer on eBay knowing that the mainboard needed to be replaced. I purchased it for the software on the hard drive. I need to replace the mainboard and do not know anything aside from that the bottom is white, round, and has a silver apple on it. I need to purchase a mainboard for the older computer, and don't know what to ask or search for and I would like to know who I could purchase a mainboard from. Any advice would be appreciated. The serial number for the computer is QP30837HNHX and was initially purchased from Apple in Feb. 2003. I've noticed that these computers have models named after large cats, i.e. Jaguar, Tiger, etc. I don't know what mine is, other than it has an 80G HD, 1Ghz G4. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello! Here is a rundown of the computer.
    Serial number: QP30837HNHX
    Name: iMac G4 (Early 2003)
    Model: M6498 iMac G4 1.0GHz
    Bus speed: 133MHz

  • Need advice about H.264 and Apple ProRes 422.

    When exporting a "master file" I can encode the video as H.264 or Apple ProRes 422 (etc). The H.264 is more compressed but still in 1080p? Does this mean that I do not have to compress the file with "Compressor"? What is the advantage of using ProRes and what is the advantage of using H.264? I want of course the files to be as small as possible but still at the best quality. Any advice?
    Thanks.

    ProRes is an editing format. If you are archiving a finished project, you can create an extremely high quality "print" with H.264. ProRes 422 will use approximately three times as much memory. ProRes 422(HQ) roughly four times and ProRes 4444 up to 10 times (compared to the size of the file FCPX will export as H.264). 
    FCPX exports (shares) H.264 in highest quality (over 45Mbits/sec [if needed] for 1080p), you have no options to adjust for smaller files (or lesser quality from FCPX.)
    To get "as small as possible," you'll need to learn more about compressing video. As a comparison (to FCPX), YouTube limits a maximum bandwidth of 8Mbps (used to be 5Mbps -- I *still* compress to 5Mbps before uploading.) Even compressed this highly, H.264 provides excellent results. [Compressing in ProRes is going from 4444 down to 422 Proxy (not to be confused with proxy media used in FCPX which is 1/4 resolution, i.e. 960x540 for 1080, ProRes 422.) You cannot compress each of the different ProRes flavors individually.]
    You'll need other software to compress further than FCPX.  I use Quicktime 7 Pro. Compressor is another way to go (Compressor will let you set "compression markers" so you can vary the bitrates through various sections of your work).  The way to figure out your compression level is to find a section (less than a minute) with the highest motion high contrast (and/or changing gradients) and export at different bitrates. Watch for "jpeg artifacts" (blocking) and once you've gotten past that, that's the bitrate you should compress to. (I've had some clips that required at least 20Mbps.) It just takes a little practice to get a feel for it.

  • Need Advice about AVCHD related stuff

    I just bought a canon HF-S100 AVCHD camcorder. I will be using it entirely for family and casual stuff. I would like to watch the footage over my HD tv via apple tv. Needless to say I would love to watch the footage at full HD (1980x1080i) or (p, if possible). I would also like to burn DVD's of this HD footage for use via a DVD player...
    I have downloaded my first recording using iMovie and it went ok. Only problem is that the movie could be exported in a max resolution of 1280x720. I had to save it as apple tv format and was able to watch it. BUT I want to watch it in FULL HD. 1080 res.
    My question is how to do it? What software do I need? Final cut express or pro. I use an imac 24 inch with a 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo. It has 4mb RAM. I intend to purchase a 2TB lacie drive to store the media files. This is going to be my first attempt at video stuff.... In the past I have played with imovie and my old DV camcorder and managed to get decent footage. But the key is to get that crisp HD footage of the family....
    thanks for the advice.

    There is no need for bootcamp, windows, or nero to do what you want. Here's the deal:
    You've got two simple options - and more expensive ones.
    Option #1 is to go with AVCHD or Blu-ray disks. Either way, you'll want a blu-ray player. You'll also want to purchase Toast 10. Toast will allow you to author AVCHD or Blu-ray disks (AVCHD disks are blu-ray compatible HD disks that are stored on regular DVDs or DVD+DLs.) You can either take completed FCE projects and export them as a simple QuickTime file and let Toast encode them, or you can take your raw footage (stored as .mts files on your camera or memory card) and place the individual files into a Blu-ray project. Toast will then burn without re-encoding. For more complex projects you can mess around with Adobe Encore but I'm guessing you're not going to want to - Toast does an acceptable job.
    Option #2 is to pursue digital formats. There are a number of devices that will play digital media, either streamed off a network or from physical attached storage. An example of this is the WDTV from Western Digital. In this case you can take your completed project in FCE and encode it (using QuickTime conversion) into a .mov or .mp4 and then stick it on your network or on a flash drive where the file can then be played by you digital media device. The advantage here being cost - no new blu-ray player, no new software. The downside - it's not quite as simple and quick as inserting a disk into a player, something people are very comfortable with.
