Need to understand how apple tv handles podcast

The way Apple TV and iTunes handle podcasts is confusing me. So I'll try to start this discussion to understand it and find the best way to manage podcasts.
I haven't been subscribing to podcasts in iTunes in a long time. I just recently purchased AppleTV and, delighted by all the video podcasts I can watch, started to download them TO APPLE TV. Then when I checked iTunes in my iMac, I noticed that suddenly I got all my AppleTV podcasts in my iMac. I didn't want this because I'm conserving space in my iMac.
I disabled syncing of podcasts in iTunes in imac but everytime I download a podcast in Apple TV, it keeps on copying it to itunes in my imac.
How do I stop this?

i'll come at this from left field.. i have found the best way to manage podcast on the appleTV is to not sync them and not download them at all.
you can actually stream them directly and they play instantaneously.. in this way nothing gets downloaded to the appleTV and nothing get synced back to the computer.
there is a substitute for subscription on appleTV and that is favorites... basically you go and find your favorite podcasts and then the very top of the menu is "save to favorites".. click on that.
then when you want to what your favorite podcasts you don't have to go searching around the whole iTunes store.. you just go to favorites..
click on the podcast you want to watch and then click the episode you want to watch.. all episodes are there with the latest at the top.. which are the ones you usually want to watch anyway... if you press "view" instead of download (think it's view) the podcast is streamed (and plays immediately) and the are no podcast filling up your appleTV or you computer. you actually use the same number of clicks as if you had actually downloaded them or synced them... so you don't lose anything.
anyway, found doing this is WAY better and would seem to eliminate your problem too.. basically the appleTV can do podcasts on demand and all your favorites are save into a short list of podcasts for you to choose from.. pretty cool.

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Need to understand how the PGI date is being calculated

Hi,
Need to understand how the PGI date is being calculated.
Does the PGI date get recalculated if the cusotme delivery date is changed.
Thanks,
Raki

Hi,
Thanks for the information and please let us know is there any calculation logic exist for that?
I have changed delivery date in the sales order and based on that-
- Transportation planning/material availability/loading/schedule line and confirmed quantity date was chaged.
Is this the - GI date - Transist time= PGI?
Thanks,

Things have really changed. I can't understand how Apple could release the Lion OS as buggy as it is ? It's like reliving the nightmare of my PC days and the Microsoft crap ! Do I have to wipe the hardrive before reinstalling Snow Leopard ? Comments..

Things have really changed. I can't understand how Apple could release the Lion OS as buggy as it is ? It's like reliving the nightmare of my PC days and the Microsoft crap ! Do I have to wipe the hardrive before reinstalling Snow Leopard ? The amazing thing is that when I installed Snow Leopard not a hitch, ever ! My trust in Apple is gone and believe me I will think twice before doing anymore OS upgrades, **** I can go back to the PC for a lot less money.

Adios baby! Enjoy that PC!

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

I need help understanding how this works. AS 2.0

Its my first time here and i only started learning flash today. I aint too great with maths and i was showed this piece of code that makes a triangles point follow the cursor. It involved mathimatical things ( which i aint so great at) and the guy said "You dont need to know how it works, just how to use it." well i copied his code and it worked, but i have no idea how to use it in other rotation apart from the one he taught us. I dont even understand how to redo his code i saved it to a word document and anytime i wanted to make something rotate something in that fashion i would refer to that. But i dont want to have to do that, i want to know how to use it, dont have to understand it, but use it for other rotation matters. If you are going to help, please try to be a bit simmple i explaining it, cause im new. Dont get me wrong i aint thick but i can find it a bit hard to follow some things, that is i my current problem.
here is the rotation code:
onEnterFrame = function()
hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number
dy = _ymouse-mc._y;
dx = _xmouse-mc._x;
rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
rotate = rad*180/Math.PI
return rotate+90
also if it helps, here is the video i was watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OfrpbNhHs
please if you can, explain how the entire thing works.
thanks for any help given in advance.

Hi,
Here's a short primer. It may not be sufficient but here goes.
1st, move the closing bracket at the end and put it on the third line. This makes the code more efficient
onEnterFrame = function(){                               // this causes Flash to repeatedly
                                                                          execute the next line at the
                                                                          frame rate you selected
                                                                          for your document
       hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);               // this tells Flash to rotate a
                                                                          movie clip (named hero) based

     dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                        the y position of the movieclip

                                                                     // once you have the x and y sides

     rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians

Need help understanding how ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist

I'm trying to understand something that happened in our network recently. Current, we're all ipv4 based, but a few machines here and there have ipv6 enabled by mistake. Everything has been working ok, but recently we had some dhcp issues. I'm trying to understand how exactly ipv6 and ipv4 work together.
Questions:
- if we have workstations with ipv6 enabled but no dhcpv6 servers, does the ff02::1:2 multicast address exist on the network? If something starts up a dhcpv6 server somewhere, would that explain why several workstations have started sending out dhcpv6 solicit messages?
- If workstations attempt to get an address via dhcpv6 and get no response, will it try dhcp with ipv4, or will it just assign a 169.254.*.* address?

Need to understand how ioctl errors work.

I'm trying to understand how ioctl errors work. Who is responsible for returning a -1 for an error and passing the actual error number in errno? Do the functions miocack and miocnak play any part in this? Where can I find a desciption of miocack, miocnak?

Hi
The return value of ioctl is dependent upon the called device
control function. If for some reason the ioctl is not able to
call the corresponding device control function then a return
value of -1 is returned by the kernel and the errno set to
indicate the type of error.

Need help understanding how DNS should be set up...

Some time back I was advised to switch my network settings such as to start using the OpenDNS servers rather than the ISP (Comcast) servers that were setup by default... I did so, at least I did so in the Network/DNS settings on my MacBook Pro... But I just noticed today that my Airport Extreme Router has its own DNS settings and those are still set to the Comcast settings...
How does all this work??? Which DNS settings matter, the ones in the Network setup for each Mac or PC in my home network??? Or do the Router settings win over everything else???
I need a brief tutorial on how to properly set up the DNS settings not just for a computer but for an entire home network... Any feedback???? thanks...

I do appreciate the help... One other interesting thing I encountered recently... I was in Oakland airport where they have free wifi... I found myself unable to connect though I had been successful in other earlier visits there.... I got curious and played for a while... What I discovered (after an hour of trying but I had time) was that I had to change my DNS settings on my computer to an address very similar to the home page IP of the airport website... I don't recall now how I came to finally figure that out but it was happenstance more than anything... I vaguely recall me stumbling upon some message where the airport was suggesting a DNS value to use. It popped up on the screen or inside the Network settings or somewhere.. I think it was when I was walking through the connection wizard which I did several times before I had success...
But I've never had that experience in airports before... All of this shows how my ignorance of DNS keeps finding ways to impact my ability to "get connected" when here or there... Again, just another interesting DNS issue I stumbled upon recently... thanks...

Need to understand how the dataguard works in a RAC enviornment

We had a dba just left, and I inherited the system now. I want to be sure I monitor right information on the dataguard.
Help please.

The DBA would have documented how DG is setup / monitored.
Else, read the DataGuard Administration Guide for the version you are running.
start at http://tahiti.oracle.com
If you are not a DBA, you should be equally and more concerned about the Primary database !

Need to understand how system time is computed by mpstat

Hi!
i've got difficulties analyzing system utilization. Linux utilities (vmstat, iosat, mpstat) report system utilization on level of 3-6%, but when it's 6% system slows down in a visible way. Generally speaking spikes up to 6% are visible in application response times. It's linux 2.16.18 with Xeon X5677 (8 cores+HT). Linux reports 16 logical processors. It's interesting that sum of %sys for each CPU is always <100%.
How %sys is computed by mpstat? Does it mean that 6% is a this system boundary?
Thanks,
Ryszard

Hi Dude!
I agree. You are right in each point.
But my exact question is about %sys calculation by mpstat. I was probably not very precise with term of "system boundary". My second question was about maximum CPU time that kernel may use. I've discovered very interesting thing related to the subject: sum of %sys column for each CPU (as reported by mpstat) is always below 100%. It was measured during quite heavy load test of the system.
Take a look at below mpstat output:
CPU     %user     %nice     %sys     %iowait     %irq     %soft     %steal     %idle     intr/s

all=4.66%
sum 0.15 = 1+7.8+13.77+...+2.2+2.2 = 74.55%
My bet is that 74.55% is more realistic than 4.66%. How this 4.66% is calculated? What does it mean? And why sum(%sys, 0..15) is always below 100%?

Don't understand how Apple's 'status' page works

There are literally thousands of users complaining about Facetime being broken over the last eight days.
Apple's only response seems to be "update your software".
However, many iOS 7 users are also complaining about broken Facetime, even AFTER updating.
So, the question is - what does Apple's status-page actually represent, since it lists Facetime as being green and regular.
Confused...

Well then, if that's the official statment - i.e. iOS 6 users who DON'T want to upgrade at this time to iOS 7, well, Facetime will no longer be available to you.
Their quote: "If you're using iOS 7.0.4 or later or iOS 6.1.6, this issue doesn't affect you."
I don't think iOS 6.1.6 was ever made available for iPad users, was it?
If I am interpreting that correctly, I imagine my spouse and I will begin to look for a comptetitors brand of tablet,
since we really don't like iOS 7 very much, mainly because with our iPad 2 and 3, the update really slows the ipad down significantly. Those with iPad 4's and up will be fine.
My iPad 3 is 16 months old. Paid nearly $700 for it. 16 months old, and I can't run the OS I purchased (if it came with iOS 7, I may not have actually bought it). $700 obsolete in 16 months.
Sad, but if that's the case, not much iOS 6 users can do.

Need to change how Apple TV sorts my TV shows

At first the default way for sorting TV shows on the apple tv was fine. It shows you the show name and season number on the main screen. So if I have three seasons of the simpsons, it shows The Simpsons Season 1, The Simpsons Season 2, and The Simpsons Season 3. I then select one of those seasons and then select the specific episode from that season that I want to watch. BUT, now that I have over 150 seasons of different tv shows it gets super crazy trying to find a specific show. So now I click on my computer and then on the library and it lists every season of every tv show that I have, so I have to scroll through over 150 different seasons (for example having 23 separate seasons of the simpsons). It was a minor annoyance at first, but now it is a major hurdle. Does ANYONE have any ways around this?? What I want, and what is logical, is to have a list of all the shows, 24, The Simpsons, True Blood, etc then click on the name of the show I want and select the season, then select the episode (rather than onlyhaving two layers of organization = season and episode, have three layers = show, season number, episode). I must be in the minority and most people must not have a lot of content in their itunes libraries because anyone with a large amount of tv shows has to be dealing with this as well.
I have seen a few threads that are similar, but they are all very old and do not address the current firmware version. Please please please help! Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change or customise the way the TV shows are listed. You are correct, it can be rather awkward when you have a large collection. The Apple TV 1 could list TV shows in the way that you suggest, but it seems to be a problem with all iOS devices.

I need to understand how to get my master-detail html dataset to refresh.

My SPRY master-detail dataset does not refresh. Following is a description of what I have and what I am trying to do.
The data source is an embedded table. Each row of the table has two fields: a thumbnail (for the master section) and a full size image (for the detail section). Each "tr" tag has a class which identifies the category of photos to be displayed. This feature of the applicaation is loacated on a panel of a SPRY tabbed panel object. I have links from other pages to open specific tabbed panels. this part works just fine.
To select the various categories of photos I have a radio button group. By default the first category.in the group is selected and when the page initially loads it selects the correct photos and the thumbnails are displayed in the master section and the first full size photo displays in the detail section. All is well to this point.
Each radio button has an "onClick" behavior which calls a javascript function with an argument specifying the desired category. The javascript function uses "window.location.assign" to refresh the page passing URL parameters to open the appopriate tab (this works properly) and to pass along the selected category. The URL parameters show up in the browser just as they should, but the page does not seem to refresh. I have disabled the caching of the data and that doesn't help. I put an alert() function in to examine the incoming URL parameters but it does not process at all. This convinces me that the page just isn't reloading.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have something similar, but instead of clicking a radio button, I click the tab of a Spry TabbedPanel widget. Clicking the tab activates a function that changes the XPath and reloads the data. All very simple.
function newXPath(thepath) {
ds1.setXPath(thepath);
ds1.loadData();
Incidently the above is for a SpryXMLDataSet.
For a SpryHTMLDataSet you would use setDataSelector("theDataSelector") or setRowSelector("theRowSelector"). For more info see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/html_dataset/index.html
I hope this helps.
