Need some advice about Mail Preferences and Rules

Several months ago, I created a rule in Mail 2.1.3 for my mailboxes that would filter out some of the SPAM that I get on my laptop. I indicated that I only wanted to receive messages from people in my address book.
As it turns out that was not a great decision, and now I'm missing mail from people that comes right through on our "family" PC running Outlook. I tried to change that rule, but I didn't remember how I had done it. I searched help and found the instruction: Click Mail, Click Preferences, Click Rules.
However, when I get into Preferences, I don't see Rules anywhere. I only have ACCOUNTS, MAILBOX BEHAVIORS, and ADVANCED. I don't see rules on any of those tabs. Clearly, I had the power before. Can someone please (pretty please) tell me what I'm missing now?
I would greatly appreciate any advice that you can give.
Thanks!

You must have inadvertently clicked on the small gray oval in the upper right-hand corner of the Preferences window sometime in the recent past. Doing so toggles between showing/hiding icons for General, Accounts, ..., Signatures, and Rules.

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

Need some advice about hot backup under linux

hi, I want some advice about db files hot backup between two machines(Named A and B).A is primary machine which will write and read database and have the lastest db file. B is backup role and no database file in it.
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B have the lastest db file too.
At A,my db file support transaction and environment, and I set autoremove unnecessary log files.
The code such as follows:
dbenv->set_flags(dbenv, DB_AUTO_COMMIT |DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE | DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC, 1);
ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, NULL,
DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN ,0)
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine with different dir.
How can I make machine A's db files backup to machine B.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
hangsy

Hi Hangsy
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B
have the lastest db file too.What do you mean? Do you want to have the latest version... from when you did the latest backup, or you want to keep it updated in the same time with the main database?
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and
db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine
with different dir.You can copy the backup anywere you want.
If you want to run recovery on a different machine, it must be the same pointer size and endianness as the original machine.
Database and log file archival: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
It is usually simpler to take the hot backup on the main machine and run recovery there before copying the databases to the remote system.
In this setup, only the databases are required on the remote system, not the log files.
Since you are using NOSYNC, you should run a checkpoint which will ensure you that the database files are up to date.
Please read "Recovery procedures" ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html ) first. "you cannot perform a hot backup of databases and log files, restore the backup and then run normal recovery -- you must always run catastrophic recovery when using hot backups."

Help I need some advice on my macbook and the sims 2!!!

ive just bought a brand new macbook! it's very fast and everything's fine, but I was just wondering if it will be able to play the sims 2? I want to buy the mac version but will it have enough memory, processor power etc. Ive checked the system preferences and my laptop fits them all fine! but I was just wondering!
Has anyone else got a mac laptop and can play the sims 2 on it?
would be much appreciated!!!!!!!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i have a macbook and i was able to play sims 2 perfectly fine. i heard there would be problems since it has a shared media card, and that i would have to put the resolution of the game on to the lowest level, but i havent and it runs just as well as it would on any other computer.

I need some advice about using Leopard on a Power Mac G5

I purchased a Power Mac G5 (Dual 2.3) in 2006. I have 2 internal hard drives and am currently running Tiger and Leopard. Some of my current apps that are outdated don't run on Leopard (such as Office 2004). I am thinking about switching over completely to Leopard, so I would have to upgrade my remaining apps that need to be updated.
Is it worth it? Does Leopard (and modern applications) run smoothly on a G5 or are those really intended for Intel Macs? Would it be better for me as a PowerPC user to just stick with Tiger? Are the versions of iTunes and QuickTime available in Leopard the same available in Tiger?
I really don't need Classic anymore, so that's not holding my back. But I don't want to spend the money to upgrade my applications if they aren't going to work that well on a G5 anyway.

Actually, Office 2004 runs just fine on Leopard. That's what I'm running now, and I have no intention on going to Office 2008.
I feel that Leopard runs smoothly on the G5. I've not really seen any issues with it as of yet.
iTunes and QuickTime are the same version number under Leopard as they are under Tiger. However, there is a different download of QuickTime depending on if you're on Tiger or Leopard.
What other applications are you using that you think you may need to upgrade?

Need some advice about possibly getting a MacBook Pro

I have been offered retail price for my 3 month old PB 17" (see description below). If I decided to do it, I would turn around and buy the new MacBook Pro. I love my PB and really hadn't thought about getting the MacBook Pro because I just got this laptop. I do have some accessories that I wouldn't be able to use on the new latop (FW800 2.5" hard drive and EVDO broadband internet pccard to name a couple). A couple of reasons that I can think of that I wouldn't like to switch are reduced screen size (although due to the better brightness, I could probably deal with it), reduced DVD Drive (although I have yet to burn using Dual Layer), etc. I have been reading about how some people like this or that about the MacBook Pro, but I was curious to get everyone's opinion on a switch from a very new laptop. I am leaning against doing the deal, but would love the input. I don't use it for major video editing, although I do a little, but only for home/family movies. Mainly, it is used for my everyday portable workstation. I do make a living using my computer (I repair computers, mac and pc) so something speedy is a must, but it seems to me that I have suffcient speed already. Well, enough of my rambling, any input would be great.
Thanks in advance,
GeNomeZ

Well, I have a 15" PowerBook G4 as well, the recent high res one that came out in October. I'm taking the plunge but as you can see below I haven't received mine yet so I can't give you too much of my opinion. I did it more for the processor, iSight, the ir for Front Row, the video card, the faster ram, the faster fsb, uhhhh, I could go on. I'll probably notice the 60 pixel loss but I'll deal, I can deal w/o dual layer, ***** about the speed drop, I never used fw800 or the pc card slot. And dial up doesn't exist to me

Need some advice about cross browser display

Hi, I'm still trying to master css design and having a few
problems getting my pages to look the same on Opera and FF. I'm not
sure where I'm going wrong.
The site looks pretty much how it's meant to in IE (though
still in draft stage), but all sorts of gaps and spaces appear in
the other browsers that ruin the look.
Also in the 'restauraunts' 'shopping' and 'things to do'
pages the content drops way down on the page and I don't know why
that is either.
http://www.sorrentoquay.com.au/new_index.html
ps: I know I have a 916px image (the dropshadow) which is
causing the content to drop way down the page in FF and Opera, but
this is supposed to be in column with the content column lining up
along side it. It's doing what it's meant to do in IE.
I appreciate the responses so far, thankyou.

You must have fixed the original problem, because I don't see
any dropping
content in FF as I did when you posted originally.
However, your 'shadow' is not going all the way down the page
as it does in
IE7. Have you thought about moving that image out of the html
as using it
as a background image in that dive and repeating it on the
'y' axis)... may
also solve some of the gap problems you may be seeing, though
I can't see
them this time roung.

Need some advice about upgrading my RAM.

I own a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
I use Final Cut Pro 5 and want to make some upgrades to my Memory.
I've already got 2 GB DDDR2 SDRAM, and I'd like to add 2 GB more.
I found this webpage, but being naive at this stuff, I thought I'd run this by the experts here...
http://www.memorystore.com/product.asp?modelid=18738&famid=132&oemdesc=2GB+Kit&q ty=2
I was thinking of getting the Samsung brand, as I heard it was exactly what Apple uses.
I was also confused because I got my G5 in summer of 2006, and I can't be sure which model number I have. All I can guess is I have the "Late 2005" model.
Thanks anyone for the help.
Sincerely,
yoshi

Hi-
I'm gonna save you a bunch of money (and possible headache), and direct you to guaranteed Mac compatible RAM.
The page lists RAM for the dual core Late 2005 G5..
Check your system profiler, under Memory, and confirm that you have DDR2 PC4200 memory installed.
You can confirm your memory needs on this page, and confirm your G5 model using the serial number tag, described in this document.

We need some information about Photoshop CS4 and Other Adobe Products Purchase

We purchased Photoshop CS4 Extended for our educational use as Volume License...
When we purchased the following products:
1. Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
2. Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
3. Adobe Page Maker 7.0
4. Adobe Flash CS4 Professional
we only got the "SERIAL NO. (VL) with Licence Certificate". We didn't get any Application CD/DVD media or Manuals.?
Then we downloaded and installed the product with the serial supplied. product is working fine.. but if Adobe is charging such amount for their product, then the Applicatio Media & Manuals should be issued for the client.
Why?
kindly send your valuble feedback about this to us on : [email protected]
Message was edited by: SJCETPALAI2010

For the past several years, manuals come as PDF files, even if you buy the retail license. Do you hate the environment and want to kill trees?
Downloaded files should be backed up on a blank DVD.
Your purchasing agent should have been aware that a license and media are two separate purchases for volume customers.

Adobe is not 'charging such amount'. You have the cheapest license available and have the same product as a retail user. Appreciate it.

[AS] Need some advice about baseline

I'm tired of "cuts" such that it:
With an annual global production of roughly 5,000
GW, it forms a fundamental component of […]
You see that the 5,000 is not on the same line as the GW.
So, I wrote a script whose
- find a digit, a space, a character
- in a different baseline.
I wrote this, but is not very fast…
So, I wonder if it is not possible to find a solution with a "whose"… Something like:
          set theSequences to (object reference of every item of theFind where baseline of character 1 is not baseline of character -1)
set theList to {}
set myText to ""
set thebounds to {0, 0, 150, 150}
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
     set myDocument to active document
     set myWindow to active window
     set find grep preferences to nothing
     set position of find grep preferences to normal
     set find what of find grep preferences to "\\d+ ."
     tell myDocument
          set theFind to find grep
     end tell
     set find grep preferences to nothing
     repeat with aSequence in theFind
          tell aSequence
               try
                    if baseline of character 1 is not baseline of character -1 then
                         set Pagenumber to the name of parent page of parent text frames of aSequence
                         set myParentPage to parent page of parent text frames of aSequence
                         set end of theList to "page: " & Pagenumber & " | " & aSequence & return
                    end if
               end try
          end tell
     end repeat
     set myText to every item of theList as Unicode text
     set theBlack to swatch "Black" of myDocument
     tell page 1 of myDocument
          set theFrame to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:thebounds, contents:myText, fill color:theBlack, fill tint:20}

Need some advice about PersistenceManger.

Is there any disadcantage of using ONE persistenceManager for whole
application?
I have this program which is managing Student data, which consist of
Student, Info, Adress object.
When each object is loaded with different PersistenceManager,
I have trouble do the following:
student.setInfo(info);
// or
info.setAddress(address);
I got an exception saying that they are managed by different
PersistenceManger.
I can't think of any way but have them use SAME persistenceManager.
Which means ONE persistenceManager for whole program.
But I am worry about if it will cause any problem.
What would you do?
Thanks.

Multiple transactions are a headache with a single persistence manager. I've
tried a single PM for an entire program and found it to be extremely
difficult to work around. Plus, I hated the idea of having a singleton
object (i.e. PM) that everyone had to share.
You can solve the problem of sharing objects across PM's a number of ways.
My two favorite ways are to:
Pass object ID's from thread to thread. i.e. if there are any Queue's or
Messages sent between threads, use:
Object id = pm.getObjectID(myObj);
queue.enqueue(id);
Object newID = queue.dequeue();
MyObj newObj = (MyObj )pm.getObjectById(newID);
Another option is to pass the actual objects around and then at the
beginning of the method, get local instance of the object. Generally, this
can be done:
infoPM = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManager(info);
infoID = infoPM.getObjectID(info);
myInfo = pm.getObjectById(infoID);
student.setInfo(myInfo);

Hi Whiteshaq4,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Knowledge Base Document #61119 says:
"To clean iPod, unplug all cables and cords and set the Hold switch to Hold. Then use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don't use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives to clean iPod."
Some people do recommend iKlear Cleaning Kit.
I hope that helps,

Need some advice about Threads/ThreadPools

Hello,
I am writing an application that tests websites for certain tags, keyword density and so on.
To simplify I created a framework that will run plugins on given webpages. I also built in support for a so called XML Sitemap (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html). To speed this up I created a worker and a runner class. They both implement the Runnable interface (I suspect that I should extend Thread with the worker and that the Runner is good as is). However the program uses a significant amount of memory. I suspect that Threads aren't recycled properly so I plan on rewriting it a bit to use a FixedThreadPool.
I call my Threads as:
//In "main" class
new Thread(worker).start();
//In Worker class
for(URL url : urlList) {
//do stuff
if(currentNumThreads >= maxThreads){
//Thread.yield in while loop -- Dirty ?
new Thread(runner).start();
}Do these Threads get recycled immediatly after finishing ?
Also would using a ThreadPool improve performance/memory usage ?
Thanks in advance :)

Edited by: hms on Jan 17, 2008 2:05 PM

First of all, do not Extend Thread!
Second yes using a ThreadPool will help your problem because you are spawning a 'infiinite' number of threads otherwise. I would suggest using an Executor class if you are in SE 5.0 or above. They do the job quite well for what you want to get done.

Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
public class ShoppingCart {
private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
private ITransactionService transactionService;
public ShoppingCart() {
     authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
     authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
public login(String username, String password) {
     String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
     return sessionToken;
private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
     bolean validUser = authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
     return validUser;
public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
}My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
thanks in advance
Raphael

Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
public class ShoppingCart {
   private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
   private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
   // and so on for all services I offer.
   // then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
   // and pass them through internally
   public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
        ls.login(username, password);
   public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
        // check session
        ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
   // and so on
}Multiple questions for this one:
1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.
Raphael
ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.
