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.

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

Need help with using Solaris FLAR across disparate platforms

All,
I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.
I am concerned about the platform specific files that would be missing?
Note: All our servers are installed with the SUNWCprog cluster through Custom jumpstart and We use disksuite for mirroring the operating system drives.
Primary Server     Recovery Server
Sun Fire 6800     Sun Fire E2900

jds2n,
Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
Just a thought
Example:
I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
from the Solaris CD?
Thanks

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.

Please help need advice with planned project!

Hi, im not sure if this is the correct forum to post this (there are so many!) just move it to the correct place if it isn�t.
I need some advice on the correct way of coding a feature that is essential to my dissertation project.
Basically the project is going to be a particle effect tool that works in a similar way to the particle flow tool works in 3DSMax if anyone has used it, if not here is a screeny:
http://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/DumpingGround/partview01.png
It allows you to visually represent your particle system by joining components together and linking them with connecting lines.
Now my questions is what would be the correct way to implement this in java? I am currently using a series of JSplitPanel's to split the main frame up then using a JPanel for the main area and other JPanels for the individual elements that you can move around and link up, here is a screeny:
http://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/DumpingGround/partview02.png
My problem is that when i add a new element via a right click menu I have to call revalidate on the main panel, this causes all the elements to return to their default position. The same thing happens whenever you move one of the JSplitPanes as it called revalidate.
So im wondering if im doing this the correct way, i see that there are many other kinds of panels provided with SWING and wondering if any of the others are perhaps more suited to my requirements?
I know that its definitely possible as Poseidon UML was coded entirely in Java and it has many of the features i am looking for:
http://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/DumpingGround/partview03.png
As this will be my first large GUI application i wasn�t sure where to turn so if anyone can me any advice whatsoever it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone can point me to any books or reading material concerning professional GUI design so that i may be able to code applications that look as professional as Poseidon or Netbeans it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Do you know about Data Access Object(dao)?
Assume you want to add hydrogen molecule to a panel, you create a new object with the class(class Molecule) representing a new molecule( H2, O2 or H2O).
You can also create a dao for this object of Molecule
class MoleculeProperty
           private int xLocation, int yLocation, ZLocation;
           public void setYLocation(int tempYLocation)
                       yLocation = tempYLocation;
           public int getYLocation()
                       return yLocation;
           public int getZLocation()
                       return zLocation;
           public void setZLocation(int tempZLocation)
                       zLocation = tempZLocation;
           public void setJustUpdated(boolean tempInput)
                   justUpdated = tempInput;
           public boolean getJustUpdated()
                   return justUpdated;
Either within your method paintComponent(Graphics g) or your panel for drawing molecules or method paint(Graphics g), it reads MoleculeProperty of Molecule and it can draw it in proper location.
After you have created a new Molecule, dao.setJustUpdated(true) . At the last line of method paintComponent(Graphics g) or paint(Graphics g), dao.setJustUpdated(false);

Need help with using cd templates

I'm very new to Photoshop and trying to figure out how to use and edit templates for a 2 panel cd insert and the Tray Card template (back cover of the cd). I want to just use pictures for the 2 panel but the Tray card needs to just have a color or design background with text. I seem to have gotten a project started using the tray card template but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get going with it and add a color background and I'm assuming I'll need to use the layers function? If anyone has any advice or can help me get started, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!

Need advice with upgrading to a new HD

Hello, all.
My available hardware:
MBP 13-inch w/160GB HD running OS X Lion
500GB external firewire HD which I exclusively use for Time Machine
8GB USB flash drive
500GB internal 2.5-inch HD which I intend to install in the MBP
USB 2.5-inch HD enclosure
I'm a relatively new mac user and need some help with migrating to a new hard drive.
I've read Lion is a bit different from the previous OS's as it installs with a recovery partition on the installation HD? And, just recently, they've added a recovery assistant which allows the user to back up and install this recovery reserve to an external hard drive or USB flash drive with at least 1GB of space. Assuming this is true, would the following prodecure be the safest and most successful way to upgrade my laptop's HD?
Make sure recovery assistant is installed and if not, install it
Run a Time Machine save/back up on the external HD
Use recovery assistant to create the recovery reserve on the USB flash drive
Remove current HD and install the 500GB one
Insert USB drive, boot, and recover Lion
Connect external HD and use Time Machine to complete restoration of data
I've upgraded hardware and imaged disks for restoral on a number of systems but never on a mac. Hoping to catch any snags before I run into them.
One last question, would migrating via this method restore the Lion installation the way it was meant to be installed on the HD with the recovery partition present? I mean, I've read that before the recovery assistant was added, the main methods of installing to a new HD were to either 1) install OS X from scratch, upgrade all the way to Lion, then restore your data or 2) Clone your OS installation and install it to the new HD but this method wouldn't install the recovery reserve which could cause problems down the road.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Windows XP on the PC

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

Need advice with video editing from iphoto to imovie, or something else.

ok, here's the deal. I have about 1tb of videos(in raw iphone straight to iphoto format), about 3k of them. I took a few vids a day for a year or so. They are all in iphoto right now but i need to take each days vids and put them together and export that in a smaller format. I need to do that for each day of the year. But it's a nightmare trying to get the vids from iphoto to imovie. Is there an easy way? I don't want to do major work to them, i just want to put them all together and have 1 vid file. So say I have 3 vids on jan 1st in iphoto, I need to move all 3 to another app, put them together, export the single file, keeping as much of the quality as I can, then I can delete the original raw vids and move that single file back to iphoto.
So instead of having events with lots of videos inside them, 1 event per day, 1 video.
any ideas on a quick and easy way to do this?

iMovie is the tool for that job and it's video so there are no "quick and easy ways", I'm afraid. The files are huge and it takes time.
What nightmare are you having getting the material from iPhoto to iMovie?
As there is a lot of repetition in the process you describe, have you considered using Automator to try and do some of the heavy lifting for you?

Need advice with routers (gaming, stability, QoS?)

Hi.I use Sky Broadband for gaming. Unfortunately, my housemate has about 4 devices on the go at once and being an ignoramus has no idea what they are doing half the time... His Xbox may be downloading a huge update for a game he doesn't play, his iPhone and laptop may be uploading a load of pointless information to the iCloud and he may be simultaneously downloading a HD stream on Sky of some programme he's barely watching cos he's looking at videos of cats on his phone. Meanwhile, I often get completely locked out and lose connection to servers. It's infuriating. -_- Rather than get frustrated about it, I figure it's time I got a decent router with QoS that prioritises the stability of my ping so that these inconveniences can be a thing of the past and he can get on with his aimless downloading without myself getting annoyed. Unless I am mistaken, the Sky routers are all incredibly average and have nothing that can help (correct?) so I'm guessing I need to buy and plug in a second router (with QoS presumably?) into the Sky Hub and setup QoS this way? Can anyone advise me on routers that may suit this purpose (preferably under £100) and how I would go about setting it up? Thanks in advance.Matt

An update from me. I bought the TP-Link AC1750 as recommended. Before installing it you need to download the latest firmware to your PC because it doesn't work without it. I used the disk to install it though I may have needed this information (I can't remember if it did it automatically or not but it's handy to have it in front of you just in case you need it): Username: [email protected]
Password: install
Connection Type: PPPoA
VPI: 0
VCI: 38 After installation go into your router (192.168.1.1 in browser, user/pw: admin) then system tools>firmware upgrade and install the firmware. The QoS works like a BEAST. Completely neutralizes annoying flatmates. You just have to give your PC a static IP then go into the 'Bandwidth Control' menu, allocate yourself priority 1 and guarantee yourself some medium-high download/upload speeds. I did, however, find the wifi still caused me issues - the 5Ghz was virtually useless through walls and the 2.4Ghz had too many neighbour's routers overlapping causing lag. My final step was to buy a set of POWERLINE ADAPTERS. TP-LINK TL-PA4020PKIT AV500 to be exact. Easy to install. Since the day these were installed I have not had 1 single lagspike. Not 1. If you're on Sky and a gamer, this is possibly the best setup to avoid lagspikes. It certainly is for me. The router cost about £95 and the adapters cost about £39. You might be able to find them cheaper if you look around though. (Sorry if this is patronising or not aimed at anyone specific, I'm just leaving it here for future googlers in a similar situation and looking for a fix to save them all the hours I spent googling to collect all this information).

Need advice with support

I have had problems with my iPhone 4 since about day 3. I get the No Sim Card error over and over all day.
I have called apple many time and have logged over 12 hours on the phone with support now.
My First call to apple I got an Advisor and after clearing the phone, reloading, and also loading my phone with no data they wanted me to get the SIM card replaced so I drove to the AT&T Store and had my SIM replaced, I received a No Sim Error the next day.
I called Apple back.
My first Senior Advisor was Robert, He told me because I called so late there was nothing he could do that night to get me a phone shipped out. He told me the wait time for a 32 GB phone was around 3 weeks. Robert promised to call me the next day. He also recommended I call the Apple store closest to me to see if they had an iPhone 4 32 GB in stock so I could go get mine replaced. I called them the next morning and asked if they had one in stock and she said yes, then I explained my issue and asked if they would hold that for me while I drove there to get mine exchanged under warranty and she said no, I asked if she could be understanding to my problem and hold it, she said no.
Robert didn't call me as promised so I called back the next day.
My 2nd Senior Advisor was Josh, he wanted me to put the phone in recovery mode and restore from a file. I started this process and in the middle my phone re-booted it's self. The restore was not complete and my phone would only boot into recovery mode. He told me to do the recovery again and would call me back the next day to check on the progress.... BTW He never called me back.....
I called Apple right back and requested a Senior Advisor.
My 3rd Senior Advisor was Cole, by the time he made it on the phone I had messed with my phone enough to get the OS loaded again. He told me it was too late to ship a phone that day and would call me back the next day. I had to call Cole 3 times to get him on the phone. Once I got him he tried to get me a phone reserved at the closest Apple store "which is a 1 hour and 30 min drive from my house" All they had was parts to try to repair. I told him I wasn't feeling good about driving all that way to have them change parts when no one has been able to tell me why the phone gets this SIM card error and I would prefer a new phone, but the store did not have one. So he set up a shipment.
Yesterday I received my replacement phone and took it out of the box and went to my computer to restore it. It would not power on. I plugged it in to the computer for 30 min and it still would not power on. I plugged it into my charger and left it for 2 hours, still would not power on. So I tried holding down both buttons to restart, nothing. This charger will charge all of the other iPhones my house just fine. So I call Apple.
My 4th Senior Advisor, Kaci Went through how to restart the phone and nothing would make this phone power on. Even when you plug it into a computer it is not detected. She tells me she will get this resolved and needs to talk to Customer Relations first because I already have a replacement phone and they already have a $780 hold on my credit card for it. I told her I could put another on there but I would rather them get this fixed because I am tired of the run around. She talks to her supervisor and comes back and said she could not lift the hold on a credit card only customer relations could. She Promises me to call @ 8 am CST because she has to get her and I both on the phone with Customer Relations. Today, I have emailed her once and left 3 messages for her and have not received a call.
I am lost on who to call. I already called Customer Relations myself after I called to my 3rd Advisor and Candy told me the process work and I would get a phone that worked, I asked her what will they do if the replacement phone is not working correctly and she told me " Getting a 2nd phone that does not work is Virtually Impossible "
I guess I jinxed myself by asking.....
Anyone have any advice for me where to go from here? I really want this phone because when it works I really like it but it has to work like my 3g did because I am on call for the Hospital and I cannot miss phone calls.

OK. Sorry.
I thought since they aren't having any luck fixing your iDevice over the phone, maybe they could fix it in person or give you another one.
Good luck.

I need help with my ichat (version 2.0 I believe)

I have an ibook G4 with Mac 10.3.9. I accidentally deleted my ichat application (version 2.0) I believe and now can't find a download for that, nor can I download the new version 2.1 since there is no 2.0 found in my applications. What can I do? Is there a 2.0 download out there?

Hi Chad,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
You need this FAQ Ryan M., "I've deleted iChatAV 2.x - Can I get it back?", 05:36pm Dec 1, 2004 CDT
For this you will need your Panther install Disks (and the download of Pacifist).
There is no download of iChat 2.0 The iChat 2.1 is an update of this to download and install.

NEED HELP WITH USING STATIC METHOD - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

I am trying to set a value on a class using a static method. I have defined a servlet attribute (let's call it myAttribute) on my webserver. I have a serlvet (let's call it myServlet) that has an init() method. I have modified this init() method to retrieve the attribute value (myAttribute). I need to make this attribute value accessible in another class (let's call it myOtherClass), so my question revolves around not knowing how to set this attribute value on my other class using a static method (let's call it setMyStuff()). I want to be able to make a call to the static method setMyStuff() with the value of my servlet attribute. I dont know enough about static member variables and methods. I need to know what to do in my init() method. I need to know what else I need to do in myServlet and also what all I need in the other class as well. I feel like a lot of my problems revolve around not knowing the proper syntax as well.
Please reply soon!!! Thanks in advance.

class a
private static String aa = "";
public static setVar (String var)
aa = var;
class b
public void init()
a.aa = "try";
public static void main(String b[])
b myB = new b ();

hope this help;
