Need Advice On Using A New Firewire Enclosure

Just bought an external Firewire enclosure. I'll install either a Maxtor 250G HD or the original/shipped Quantum 20G in the enclosure.
I'd appreciate advice on when and when not to turn on or unplug the enclosure, OS installation, etc, etc. Will it show in Startup Disk Prefs and just boot to it when chosen? The Quantum has been my backup HD but it's corrupted at the moment and needs to be erased. It's a toss-up on which will be ext and which will be int. I'd like to utilize the capacity of the Maxtor, but I'm loath to use the Quantum as my 'main' OS drive. Thoughts?
And just some basic tips on using external enclosures would be most welcome!

do not ever hot swap firewire devices, ever. basically, put your harddrive in the enclosure, make the connections and then turn it on. use disk utility to format the drive, no matter what it is, even if it's fresh outta the box and claims to already be mac formatted. do that and it should mount automatically. when you want to turn off the drive, always always always eject it from the desktop (command-E) and then you can safely turn it off and unplug. when you want to remount it, plug it in if unplugged, turn on the enclosure and it'll mount on the desktop automatically.
i buy bare drives and stick them enclosures from OWC and i always follow these procedures and they've never let me down with so much as a hiccup. good luck.

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

I need advice on buying a new computer and monitor.

Without going into huge detail, I am ready to buy a new desktop for my photography hobby. I am still running
CS3 (hoping that will work with Windows 7?), Corel Paint Shop Pro X (yeah, I know I have really old software, but I
don't feel the need to upgrade just yet), Picasa, and all the software that comes with my Canon 40D. I take all my pics in
.raw and then edit/convert. I have a 1 terabyte eternal drive where I store my photos, but editing from that source is S-L-O-W.
Someone mentioned on another site something about aneSata drive. Need more info. (I want an easy way to backup my
photos monthly, because I have a fear of someone breaking in my home, stealing my pc and then all my photos are gone.
With the external drive, I can put it in my safe deposit box.)
I want a monitor (preferably not widescreen) that will be accurate with color and not have a glare, maybe 20" or so. I print photos at home on my HP Photosmart printer, but I also have some printed professionally. I would like recommendations on monitor calibration gadgets/software
so that what I see is very close to what will print.
This computer will have MSOffice 2010 on it. Will have quite a few other softwares on it that are currently on my old pc.
We don't watch movies on the PC or do any gaming so the video card will mainly be used for photography and some light video use. We do skype.
Would like to stay in the range of $1500-2000 if possible. I've basically purchased Dell's in the past due to the ease of designing my system,
but I have had two lemons and am certainly not tied to Dell.
I know I want a wireless mouse/keyboard. Currently have Dell Speakers 5/1, which are decent enough for my use, as long as I can connect them to my
new PC.
Thanks for good advice!! (And I want this PC to last me about 5 years so I would guess I need at least 8 g ram, 3.5 GHz processor, preferably Intel.
Also want 4 or more USB ports on the front or side, as my PC location is not suitable to use the back ports easily.) Thank you!

I've taken quite a "non-standard" approach to this... a little while back I purchased a powerful Dell Precision T5400 workstation that's come off lease from eBay, then populated it with good hardware. Result? Dual quad core Xeon 3.16 GHz 16 GB system with 3 TB of internal RAID disk storage and a good modern video card for about $1500. This is a system that would have sold new for probably $6,000 just a few years ago.
I didn't have to buy any of the external stuff (monitor, backup drives, keyboard/mouse, etc.) because I upgraded from an existing workstation and was able to re-use all that stuff, plus one 1 TB drive from the old system - which I then sold for $700 to recoup some of the cost (total outlay was then only $800).
I describe the system and how I put it together in some detail here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/827500
This is a far more powerful system than anything I could get new for the same price.
Just a quick glance at eBay and I see that some T5500 workstations are becoming available for reasonable prices now. I see, for example, a dual quad system with 12 GB of RAM for a Buy It Now price of a hair over $1000.

After using my new firewire audio interface, my devices get electrostatic

I recently bought a Focusrite Saffire 24DSP which is connected by a firewire cable to my macbook pro (late 2010). I connect it as stated with my macbook of. Now there are moments (and unfortunately they are moment of surprise) that my macbook's case get all electrostatic. Not just a little bit but one that makes your hair rises. Also at that same moment the case of the Focusrite audio interface is also all static, also the back of my audio monitors/speakers (which is connected by xlr-cable to this audio interface), these last two devices are the worse, and even in some cases the metal case of my Novation Remote SL keyboard which is connected by usb to my macbook. You can understand that I sometimes getting nervous to touch anything once the audio interface is powered on... or at the end of my session to power my stuff off.
I first thought that connecting the audio interface to its own wall socket/adapter, instead of using it by powered from the firewire, would solve it, but not.
Even this morning, after powering off everything last night (though the firewire cable still connected), i got a shock when opening my macbook and 5min. later touching the audio interface. How can I resolve this? Is it a problem of my new interface, is it a firewire problem? or is it the macbook? ......
Would it help to put the audio interface on rubber feets.. or should I take care in what order I put devices on and off? Please any help or suggestions, since waking up this way is a terrible one

Need advice about building a new home LAN

We are in the process of building a new house and have gotten to the point where we have to decide to wire for ENET or go wireless only.
We have 2 Mac Pros, 3 MacBook Pros and several Gx Macs without wireless. The LAN will be used for internet and data, including clones and gigabyte size media files.
Would you wire for ENET or do you think wireless is sufficient?
TIA,
Bill

For residential work, as long as you do not string the cable through a return air plenum or duct, you are usually free to use the MUCH less expensive "riser" cable. For commercial work or through ducts, the much more expensive teflon-jacket "plenum" cable is required in most jurisdictions. Some commercial installers keep only "plenum" cable on their trucks. Using Plenum cable when not needed will easily double to cost of the cable.
If you want to save money, you could have them pull the cable but leave the raw ends in the boxes in the wall, and just put flat plates over them. Then you are not paying electrician/alarm guy time today to put the cable-ends on, but you have your expandability at a reasonable cost (or do-it-yourself) later. Same with cable-TV coax cable. You can still say "wired for high-speed Internet and cable-TV" when you go to sell.
1000Base-T uses all four pairs and a multi-level modulation technique, so the actual signaling interval is kept low enough for Cat 5 at a minimum. Cat 5e is only a tiny bit more money and has a little better performance. This article mentions cable requirements:

Need advice/suggestions on News sources

I was wondering what is the standard way for Palm users to read news on the go (without being online)? for instance, I use iSilo to read "whatever". But I was hoping I could automate the process of finding a URL where to get the data from everytime I needed new info, so I could just go straight to SunriseXP/Plucker and simply click "update".
Another problem I have is that I can't seem to find a source page that is "clean enough" (or mobile friendly enough), in another words, all the sources I find they always sorround the actual news info with all kinds of clutter (links, banner adds, formatting, etc). Sometimes this pages offer a Printer friendly version, which is ideal for me, but again, getting their respective URLs has to be done manually
I hope you guys see where I'm coming from...
Thanks in advance,

Not really. The closest thing I know that would do the trick is AvantGo. But unfortunately for some reason it refuses to work for me
So far apart from that, I found Smaato News, it's a RSS-reader. The only problem I have with it is that I have to wait until I am near a WiFi hotspot. So as you see I'm still looking for that elusive perfect off-line news program. Good luck to you on your search. Let me know if you find anything.

Using my new Firewire drive

I just bought a miniStak V2 by Newer Technology. While the instructions for hooking it to my eMac were simple and straightoforward, nowhere can I find any information in the thin "manual" to learn how to use this device.
I purchased it to be able to back up files and apps and in case of emergency, boot from the miniStak. So, excuse my ignorance as I fumble through some basic questions.
When installing the software that came with the unit to back up files, do I insall that on the eMac HD or on the miniStak? There is also some disk tools, where is best to install that?
Can I install the version of OSX (10.3.9) that I am running on the miniStak? Can I then boot from the miniStak in case of emergency, or do I need to purchase SuperDuper (although I don't know how I will download it with this +%@# dialup...)?
Can I just drag apps and files from my eMac's HD (like iMovie and iTunes) and use those apps from the miniStak? Can I then delete the app and files from the eMac HD in order to free disk spaace?
Or, is there a complicated process I must follow?
Sorry for the questions, but the OWC Tech site did not contain much info about how to use the device, only how to troubleshoot problems.

Install the Data Backup program on your internal HD. Then when you make a backup to the external drive, the program will be there as well. Assuming the backup it makes is bootable, if you have a problem with your internal drive you can boot from the external drive and use Data Backup (executed from the external) to restore it.
BTW, I stopped using third party backup programs a while ago; I just use Disk Utility to do my backups. It's entirely a manual process (i.e. you can't schedule backups or incremental saves), but it works well for me and has be rock solid reliable where some of the other apps I tried occasionally failed to complete the backup.

Need advice for using Tempory tables

Hi,
I am soort of expert in SQL programming using MS SQL and SYBASE. But I am new in ORACLE.
In SQL SERVER, using tempory tables are very simple. But it seems very different in ORACLE.
1. Can I use create several different temp tables in a stored procedure?
2. Dose the temp table has to be named as Temp_tablename?
3. After executing the stored procedure, will those temp tables disappear automnatically? Should I manually clean them up?
Thank you for help in advance.
Karl

1. Yes. You need to use Dynamic SQL within your PL/SQL code to issue any DDL command.
2. You can name those temp tables whatever name you want.
3. You need to issue "DROP table XXX" command to remove those temp tables. Why not use PL/SQL table within you PL/SQL code since PL/SQL is a memory construct and it will only exist during the run time of your PL/SQL code.

Need advice with using iChat

would increasing the RAM better the performance of iChat AV? what are the specs of the build-in iSight? would one say it is better to use than the older FireWire iSight? i have both. any suggestions? thanx. Michael
PS: my connection is Yahoo DSL Pro

I think a the ram would improve performace over the whole system (to include iChat).
IMHO, the built in iSight works better then the firewire version.
for the specs check out http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/isight.html

Need advice on buying a new laptop

My only specifications are I'd like a HP, light weight, not a netbook, mostly for internet use. I will use it a little with Word, Excel and Publisher for projects here and there. I'd like to stay under $700. If I can stay in the under $600 range then I'd more than likely get the extended warranty.
Also, would it be better to get directly from HP?
Any advice is appreciated!
TIA,

It looks like IBM owned part of it in 2005.
IBM became the owner of 18.9% of Lenovo in 2005 as part of Lenovo's acquisition of the IBM personal computing division.[12] Since then IBM has steadily lowered its shareholding in Lenovo. In July 2008 the IBM shareholding went below the 5% reporting disclosure threshold.[13] In February 2009 the CEO Bill Amelio was replaced with Yang Yuanqing.[14]

Need advice about using a calendar in iweb

I am wanting to use a calendar in iweb. Does anybody have a suggestion of how this can be done. I've looked at ical and google calendar, but is there something that can be used with html snippet?

You can use Google calendar as an html snippet, just copy and paste the code. It is found when you go to share calendar - it gives you the html code to embed in your website.

Need advice: slight defect on new Imac screen, what would you do?

I just got new Imac from apple online store and I noticed that there is a small defect in screen. It is about 1/4 or just a bit smaller inch line that looks like hair. I am not too pleased about it. What would you do?
ps, i had this shipped from online store, so do I take it back to apple for new one since still within 14 days. Not sure how it works if you purchased online.
thanks

I would ring them up - if you bought it online I'm not sure if you can return it to a store, although if it's one that they sell in store you might. I changed the spec on mine so couldn't return to a store when I had a problem and got it replaced. They'll send a new one out express delivery and arrange for a courier to pick the old one up. I managed to arrange it so the new one arrived the same day as they picked up the old one.
