Need Real Help & Advice With Replacement MBP Options!

Hi All,
Please kindly give me some advice as I need to act quickly - I already have a MBP 15" 2.4 Unibody replacement agreed by Apple only last week (replacing a Intel 2.2 GB MBP) but I am pretty sure that the Senior Customer Services Person I spoke to was not aware of any due upgrade as he was very helpful and probably genuinely did not know. In view of the new models announced, should I stick with this or ask for the new 2.53 version which is actually cheaper and therefore I am somewhat hopeful they should do (or would they now generally offer me the new one?) Can any of you kind folks also please tell me:
1. What are the advantages/disadvantages between the old 2.4 Unibody MBP & the new 2.53 Unibody MBP?
2. I know the new one comes with an SD card slot and loses the Express Card Slot but is the loss of the latter a big thing? Can the old one with the use of card readers actually shift data from the MBP to a SD card (or any other) via card reader/device? Is Express Card or SD Card Slot more desirable and better utilised?
3. I think the newer one has less better 9400M integrated graphics - is that true and how big a deal is that? (I plan on downloading and watching lots of HD content) Is it better to go for the dual 9400M/9600GT graphics
4. I know the new one can be upgraded to 8GB of Ram which sound really good for future-proofing and general super-smooth running purposes so I guess this feature is really important? I guess it can take 4 x 2GB sticks?
5. Some have stated that they are very happy that the new ones have Firewire back but was that also not on the old 2.4 one?
6. How big/good/bad a thing is it to have a non replaceable battery even though in theory, it may last longer?
7. The new version makes a big deal about the screen - is it a good reason to upgrade or as good as they make out?
8. Are the Hard Drives on these latest versions user-replaceable/upgradable? (250GB is still a little low for my future needs and I was planning to upgrade to a higher capacity).
9. As I am not a savvy as most when it comes to this sort of stuff, is there anything else that I have not considered/should consider or have taken into account and which may prove to be be of significance in the future?
10. Is it safe to assume that the newer model may be better as it may have had bugs or issues the old one may have had ironed out?
11. Because of the better graphics and larger Hard Drive (320GB), I am also inclined to go for the 2.66 model - how should I best proceed if I choose this model - will they likely give me one (or better still, how can I best wangle one!) or is it possible to offer to pay some money to make up for the difference and what would be considered a fair and reasonable amount?
I am very sorry to ask so many questions but I need to act fairly quickly on this one and would be extremely grateful for the help and input!
Many Thanks To All!

Hi,
Thanks for the help so far - I know the HD is replaceable on the 2.4 MBP but can you confirm that this is also the case with the new 2.53/2.66 MBP's?
Yes. I can confirm that.
Do you have any further thoughts regarding the benefits of the new over the old?
I am a big fan of the unibody MacBook Pros. I had purchased mine in October 2008. I could easily purchase a new one with out a second thought. They are exceptional machines.
OLD - Better Discrete Graphics, Express Card Slot, Replaceable Batteries, Upgradeable HD, Poorer Screen, RAM limited to max 4GB
NEW - Poorer Integrated Graphics, SD Card Slot, Better Screen, Upgradeable RAM to 8GB, Fixed Internal Battery but with Longer Life, Unsure if HD is User-Upgradable
The batteries can be replaced at an Apple Store at any time. The hard drive can be upgraded by the user. The graphics are still very good.
Anything else I might have missed? I would like to choose the one that offers the most future-proofing and will operate the best when running Snow Leopard and Windows, HD Material and will cause least performance issues!
Check out the requirements for Snow Leopard. http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
You cannot go wrong with a unibody MacBook Pro. Leopard runs on Macs that are 10-years old. Whatever your choice, you will be "future proofed".
Good luck!

    Hello Adviser /expert,
    Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.
    As now i m thinking to do SAP-PM certified course from authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
    So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
    My introduction (About myself): - I had done my Diploma in Mechanical and had total 09 years of experience in Mechanical Maintenance field that to in different manufacturing company such as Steel, Auto Ancillary & Cotton plant.
    Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
    Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
    Guide me
    Warm Regard
    Ravin

    Ravindra,
    SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
    your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
    you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
    but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

  • Need some help- 4G with no static IP

    Why is 4G your only option?
    What is it that you're trying to do here?

    If the vendor does not offer static IP or port forwarding how was you ever expecting it to work?As for other forums telling you it won't work - it sounds like your doubting their views.As Rockn said, you need real IP cameras for this to do what you want.what are these "real IP Camera's", and i was hoping there was some solutions - the camera's were cheap and i got them for testing - other forums mention 4G with CCTV...

  • Need help/advice with tic tac toe game

    Hello all. I am working on a tic tac toe game. I was able to program the first 4 moves fine, but ame having trouble with moves 5 and 6 for reasons that are unknown to me. Everything complies fine, its just that the move is displayed int the wrong space (B1) instead of in B2 or B3. Also the move that is supposed to be in A1 disapppears when B2 or B3 is clicked. Also, I need advice as to how to keep the prior moves from being over written.
    At this point I ahve gone over the code on-screen, printed it out, and stared at my drawings... and I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a small, stupid thing that I'm missing, that anyone else would easily catch. Once again, thx for all your help.

    writing a tic-tac-toe is harder than it sounds.. i wrote one last year in my computer science class.. i have it on my website, if you want to look at code. i wrote it in c++, but the logic is all that matters :)
    btw-last year, i wasnt too good of an OOP programmer, so the program is procedurely written. heres the url:
    http://www.angelfire.com/blues/smb
    also, to tell if a box is already taken, you can just add an if statement:   if ( gameBoard[selX][selY] == null )  //not taken, fill box:many people resort to a boolean matrix of the same idea, but with booleans that store which boxes are taken. i prefer the way above, saves code, memory, and makes it more understandable.
    hope it helps.

  • Need Help/Advice with Photo Web Gallery coming from SQL Database

    This is my first attempt at a database driven website. I assume what I am trying to accomplish should be fairly easy for more experienced but I am stuck at this point.
    First, let me explain what I am trying to accomplish.
    I want to create a thumbnail photo gallery displayed in columns and rows. I want to be able to hover over or click on the thumbnail image and have a lightbox script display the image over the thumb page. I am developing locally right now with intent to upload to the hosting site upon completion.
    I am developing with ASP vbScript pages. I have an SQL database where the paths to the image thumbnails and pictures are stored in a table. On the gallery page, I have created a div tag to hold my image recordset. Within this div, I have inserted 3 absolute positioned divs to hold the pictureID, the pictureName and the image inserted as a datasource. I then inserted the information from the bindings panel of my recordset. Last, I used a horizontal looper extension from Tom Muck to get the thumbnails to display in columns and rows. Everything works up to this point just fine.
    Now, I want to be able to hover or click on a thumnail image and have it displayed in a lightbox. I downloaded and used a javascript called Lightbox 2 which contains 3 javascript files and a css stylesheet. I inserted the files into the head tag like instructed to but could not get things to work properly. Here is where I need help. Currently, I am clicking on the thumbImage binding within the image Div and creating a link holder. I am then binding the larger pictureImage to it with the a.href selected in the bind to. I am then adding the command to call the lightbox javascript. Now, when I test my page, my thumbnail images do not show up (my alt text does in its place) but the links are in place and you can click on the alt text and it will return the correct larger image, but not in the lightbox, just in a new window with no styles.
    Am I going about this correctly? Can you use lightbox scripts with data-driven galleries? Does anybody have any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong or missing? Are there better ways to go about accomplishing this?
    Any help would be appreciated as this dynamic data thing has my head spinning. Although I know a database is needed to simplify the update and maintenance of the photos while allowing them to be searchable by keywords and tags also set up in the database.
    Thanks

    As I explained, I am developing locally a the moment. I will see about getting the databased moved up to the hosting server and then provide a link for an example.
    In the mean time, can you or anyone else explain a way that you would go about displaying an image thumbnail photo gallery laid out in rows / columns, with any lighbox script that would overlay the larger image over the existing page instead of opening a new browser window?
    I don't have to use the method I tried to describe.
    In all of the lightbox examples I have looked at thus far, they give instructions on how to append that javascript to a single static image or a group of static images, not images from a datasource. That is where I am getting confused.
    Don't know if this will help or not but please see code below:
    Javascript and CSS positioned in head tag
    <!--beginning of lightbox script with css -->
    <link href="CSS/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="Scripts/protype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="Scripts/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!--end of lightbox script with css -->
    Calling for javascript in the galleryimage div when hovering over thumbnail image
        <!--beginning of gallery div -->
        <div id="gallery">

  • Pl/sql parameter portlet - need some help/advice - how to create

    I want to create a pl/sql portlet that accepts a parameter and on submit passes the parameter to other portlets (sql reports) these are then automatically run to display the new data.
    E.g.
    parameter portlet = deptno
    On submit
    Sql reports then refreshed using the parameter
    I am aware, and have tried the mycompnay demo, which works exactly as I want but the parameter portlet cannot be amended and is written in Java.
    I need a pl/sql equivalent so I can tailor the code.
    Any advice examples or guidance would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    SD

    Hi,
    You can use a form portlet to accept parameters and then call a report in the success procedure of the form. In this example it calls a report with the value in the flightno field.
    declare
    flightno number;
    blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    flightno := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    call('SJDEMO30.report1.show?p_arg_names=flightno&p_arg_values='||
    flightno);
    end;
    Thanks,
    Sharmila

  • Who can help me with replacing the standard HTML editor in WPC?

    Hi all,
    We have chosen to replace the standard HTML Editor in the Web Page Composer by the TinyMCE Editor. I have worked my way through the document written by Boris Magocsi (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f04b5c5d-3fd2-2a10-8ab0-8fa90e3ac162) and the TinyMCE Editor is diplayed when we add or edit a paragraph.
    However, we can not type any text in the input field anymore and we can not click any of the buttons in the TinyMCE editor. Can anybody help a total Javascript newby with fixing this? Full points will be awarded obviuosly. Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Jan
    Note: We are on NW 7.0 SP 15 and the WPC component is not patched yet. We are trying to complete that today and patch it to patch level 1.

  • NEED A HELP: problem with setting up AP 1140

    Hello everybody,
    I did finish all the configuration steps for Cisco Aironet 1140 AP1140 mentioned in the manual and AP start showing green indication:
    Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
    Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds.
    Step 4 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
    a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
    b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
    Step 5 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
    Step 6 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 7 Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 8 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 9 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 10 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 11 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
    BUT (the next step is missing) and the problem is that I cannt access the GUI through browser. Also there is no bytes communicated between my FTPT server and the AP. I am connecting the 48 DC powered AP with default IP 10.0.0.1 directly through Ethernet cable cat6 to the FTPT server with adapter setting is: IP 10.0.0.10 S.mask 255.0.0.0.
    I did some trials such as: connecting the AP to DHCP server with PoE switch, change TFTP to dynamic IP, enable/ disable adpter, restart the AP but without any change
    What I need to know
    Is there any missing steps in the above?
    Is the default IP for AP 10.0.0.1?
    What to do in this case?
    How to access CLI and what are the basic commands for settings?
    Thanx a lot waiting the reply plz

  • Need some help/advice please

    Hi,
    I am trying to fix a friends computer. She has a MS-6385 m/b but the keyboard does not work. When trying to boot to ME. you just hear clicks when pressing a key.
    If I boot from a W98 disk, I get a beep on each keypress. The CPU seems fine as it will load the W98 boot disk OS.
    I was going to try a PS2 to USB converter, but the manual implies that the USB keyboard is disabled by default and I cannot get into the the BIOS to change it.
    So I am asking for any advice as to how and try to fix this, or should I just bin the m/b and try and get another socket 423 m/b with rambus slots.
    TIA

    Using my keyboard though a KVM switch, which works fine on my network, so its not the kbd. I reckon the ps2 connection has gone belly up, so I'm stuffed for a fix.
    Looks like I will need to get another board, I have found a 6339 board, which I might use or get the Asus P4t board.

  • Need connectivity performance advice with MS SQL / Oracle Sourced Report

    I have a report requirement to pull data from both Oracle and Microsoft SQL databases.  Both are using ODBC data connections.  The report is complicated by the fact that the SQL table "tblmasterboth" is the primary table in the report but both are used in record selection.  The Oracle data source is actually a custom SQL command.
    SELECT date2, SiteAN, Description, CheckNumber, Date, Amount, BankorGL, Text1, fldStatus, Text3
    FROM   tblmasterboth
    WHERE  BankorGL = 'G' AND (Date2 >= {ts '2010-01-01 00:00:00'} AND Date2 < {ts '2010-03-31 00:00:00'})
    select DEPOSIT_COMPANY_GROUP, DEPOSIT_REPORTING_PAYROLL, LIABILITY_PAYROLL_CODE
    from MV_LIBH
    My record selection is as follows:
    {tblmasterboth.BankorGL} = "G"
    and {tblmasterboth.Date2} in {@Quarter Start} to {@Quarter End}
    and {tblmasterboth.SiteAN} = {sql_MTAX.LIABILITY_PAYROLL_CODE}
    and {sql_MTAX.DEPOSIT_COMPANY_GROUP} = {?Deposit Company Group}
    The report runs EXTREMELY slow, with accessing the database freezing up the Crystal Reports Designer to the point where it is not responding for whole minutes.  The hangup appears to be accessing the database.  I know accessing multiple databases in a single report is not ideal, but I am surprised by these performance results.  Is there something else I can do?
    Fuskie
    Who notes the tables are not linked in the Database Expert since the SQL Query produced cannot link them...

    Hi Fuskie,
    A couple of things to note:
    {ts '2010-01-01 00:00:00'} AND Date2 < {ts '2010-03-31 00:00:00'})
    Should be: {ts '2010-01-01 00:00:00'} AND Date2 < {ts '2010-04-01 00:00:00'})
    It's not checking the last day of the month of march
    Second is you have the filter in the both SQL and Selection:
    WHERE  BankorGL = 'G' AND (Date2 >= {ts '2010-01-01 00:00:00'} AND Date2 < {ts '2010-03-31 00:00:00'})
    {tblmasterboth.BankorGL} = "G"
    and {tblmasterboth.Date2} in {@Quarter Start} to {@Quarter End}
    You don't need both.
    Likely what is happening is for ever record in the selection formula returned from MS SQL the query to Oracle runs scanning every record again, yes this is going to be very slow.
    We always recommend using a subreport if another data source is required. You should be able to link to the sub report and filter both.
    You may want to check MS SQL Server help file. I believe it has the ability to link to other databases within the Server itself. May not work for you in this case but something to look into.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Help/ advice with score slide

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a quiz using the captivate programme
    and I have discovered there is a next button on the score page
    which goes to a Blank screen !!. Can anyone give me advice on how I
    can remove it or edit it. I have looked in the help docs but so far
    no joy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    A

    Hi A. If you intend to allow your users to "review" the test
    (scoring) results, you should always leave the "Next" button
    available. It allows the user to continue to the end of the movie
    following the review (among other uses).
    Which brings up that "blank screen" you mentioned. It is a
    good practice to close the movie on a non-question (scoring) slide.
    Perhaps one that ends the movie by saying "Thanks for
    Participating" or whatever. Then the "Next" button will take the
    user there following the quiz and review process. If there is no
    slide following the last Question slide, you will see ... what you
    are seeing ...
    Finally, my advice is to learn by doing. Build yourself a
    short movie, say 5 slides with an "Intro" slide, 3 "Question"
    slides, and a "Thank You" slide. Then play with the buttons that
    are displayed, to get a better idea of their functions and required
    presence (see "Movie > Quiz Manager" as well as the individual
    question-slide settings) .
    Hope this sheds some light ...

  • Real help/advice required here:

    My aunt (for sure).is with a company called "BE" who supplies her broadband for many years (she is 70+) and she has BT telephone contract for many years in her deceased husbands name (10yrs min) She is looking for advice, told me she spoke to many people over a period of time and they were not english speaking, ( that part I am aware of, foreign call centres)
    She requires my help, asked me to get BT broadband for her, why, 'Cos she trusts me..
    I am so afraid to move on this, in case I get in a position it all goes wrong, due to many negative feed backs I hear.
    I am not really prepared to call "BT" and get knocked from piller to post by: press this number 1,2,3,4 etc and then go through all the rigamole to get a BASIC answer/outcome.
    Is it really true that BT, Sky, Talk Talk, BE (who are they?) and others are more interested in thier profits than those, through no fault of thier own and being mostly in their vulnerable/advancing state/years are perperpually unaware they are paying, Cos they are not "savvy" whereas the forementioned companies have no intention of informing those who are vulnerable.
    Side Note: Her husband has been dead for min10yrs and contract has and is in his name, she still pays the bills on this telephone contract
    Anyone any sincere advice
    Definately, not harmless but GENUINE
    Regards
    Jim

    Not sure what your actual questions are here! She should expect the same speed with BT as she's getting now And after she gets the MAC code it'll take a couple of weeks to change over.
    Most deals are 18 month contracts. BT has low, medium and high user packages so you may want to ask BE how much Internet she uses each month. If she signs up to a low user package and it turns out she is a high user, she will incur extra charges.
    On the account name, they will be able to update it into her name if you want that to be done,
