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 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.

If you are not a DBA, you should be equally and more concerned about the Primary database !

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 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.

I would like to understand how merging cells works

I am trying to reduce nine fields, into three, but can't understand how merging cells works. Because sometimes it will allow me to merge cells, and at other times the word merge is greyed out
Regards Lee

The User Guide, which you can download using the link in the Help menu, explains merging cells pretty clearly.
I suspect the relevant line to your problem is:
"The group of cells you choose must form a rectangle, and they must be all body cells, all header cells, or all footer cells."
The merge option is probably greyed out because your selection includes both header and body cells.
I think there is a general feeling among users that merging cells should be avoided because it breaks some operations like sorting tables.

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,

I need to show how colour separations work by gradually combining four single-coloured clips in the time line?

Hi, I need to demonstrate how colour separations work in the printing process, by animating the additions of each single colour plate to the overall picture. I have four jpegs, one of each colour, plus black, and I want to animate each one on the timeline to simulate the addition of each colour to the printed page. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Phil

Video and print do not work in the same way. Video uses additive color, print uses a subtractive method.
You will have to fake it. Choosing a simple dissolve and combine method, you would also need the interim stages, say a Cyan + Yellow plate and a Cyan + Yellow + Magenta plate, eventually dissolving into the full color version.
Another way: Have each of the 4 plates appear one after the other on a quad split screen. Allowing time for an explanatory narrative, simultaneously have the 4 plates grow to full screen and move into position. At this point, you can quickly fade to a full color plate.

I really can't understand how this recursive works??

Hi all,
I have got a recursive function that checks for palendrome string. But it is confusing. I know that a string is palenromme if it is empty or has a char or first char and last one are same and middle is palindromme too.
but can't understand how this function works.
class Palindromme
     boolean palindrom(String s)
          if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
               return true;
          else
          {                    //recursive definition
               return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
specially i don't know how palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1)); is working cause it has to be increased for each loop.
abdul
PS: actually i don't know how recursion works from Data structure point of view

Hi,
ok your palindrome is : "otto"
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
              o                     o                                   tt
so first part is true
in the second part palindrom is called again but with the remaining tt
so second time :
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
               t                     t                                 ""
Third time:
if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
return true;after all for otto the recusion is:
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && s.charAt(1) == s.charAt(s.length()-2) ) && nothing left of otto);

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
                                                                          on the function getmouse()
};                                                                     // putting the }; here makes the
                                                                          code more efficient and readable
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number{   // This is the function called with
                                                                         mc referring to hero that was

     dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                        the y position of the movieclip
                                                                        from the mouses y position
     dx = _xmouse-mc._x;                               // dx = delta x (same as above line
                                                                        but on the x axis)
                                                                     // once you have the x and y sides
                                                                        you male a triangle.
                                                                        Now use trig to find the angle
     rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians
                                                                        the arc tangent atan2 will give the
                                                                        angle in radians
     rotate = rad*180/Math.PI                            // you want to convert the radians to
                                                                        degrees, that's what this line does
     return rotate+90                                         // this returns the value of rotate back
                                                                        to the calling function in line 2.
                                                                        the +90 determines which part
                                                                    // of the hero movie clip is facing the
                                                                       mouse.
If you put the mouse cursor over any of the green reserved words above in the Actions panel you will get a desctription of what these do.

I need information on how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up

Hey folks,
believe it or not, but I have been searching a lot on the web already on how to find information how Adobe Drive works and how to set it up.
Most information that I found is old and seems to be valid only for older versions of Creative suite. Here in the company we use CS5.5 and will switch to CS6 soon.
I already downloaded Adobe Drive 3 and installed it on my Mac. Unfortunately I don't know what to do next? Do I need Adobe CQ to make it work? Or can I use it with an existing SVN infrastructure, that we have here? Actually I would like to access the SVN via Adobe Bridge. But after the installation of Adobe Drive my Bridge CS5.5 is crashing while starting up, and I didn't find out how to fix this again.
Actually I just found the manual for Adobe Drive 3 and read it. Seems to be easy in case its working. But it's not in my case, as mentioned above.
Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks,
in the meantime I managed to re-setup Adobe Drive 3 again. Bridge CS5.1 is still crashing (i have a log-file with a detailed error-report, if somebody knows how to extract information from this.
At least now I can start Drive as a standalone application.
So now my main question is how to connect Drive 3 to our subversion infrastructure in the company. Does anybody have information on this?

Trying to understand how MIDI Clock works in Logic

Hi,
I'm syncing a Roland MC-909 Groove Box with Logic. I'm also using a MOTU MIDI Express interface. The MC-909 syncs to Logic, thus it is in Slave mode. Under Preferences->Sync->MIDI Sync Project Settings, I've discovered something odd, and I'm trying to understand it. It could be just a lack of understanding regarding the MIDI Spec.
Under MIDI Clock, I necessarily need to set the destination to the MC-909. I cannot use 'All' or else the MIDI Express starts playing back at 8x the tempo set in Logic. Not sure why this happens but its probably something weird with the MOTO interface. Anyway in Logic, MIDI Time Code (MTC) is disabled, Song Position Pointer (SPP) is disabled, and MMC is disabled.
So basically I'm only sending MIDI Clock to the MC-909. Here's what is wierd: As I locate to different places in the Arrange window (not in play mode), the MC-909 is locating to the correct time offset within the pattern! This basically guarantees that you can start the Logic song anywhere, and the MC-909 will start playing back the pattern at the right time. I don't understand how this can be happening given that I've disabled SPP in Logic. The only sync communication between Logic and the MC-909 is MIDI Clock, but I don't believe that MIDI Clock is even capable of transmitting offset information that specifies the time-offset into a drum machine pattern, Does it? Or is Logic sending SPP info as I click on different locations in the Arrange window?
Another point, is that if I select to transmit MIDI Clock to another device other than the MC-909, but still using the MOTU MIDI Express, then the MC-909 plays back synchronously (i.e. its getting MIDI Clock from Logic, even though Logic isn't sending MIDI Clock to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909), but it does not track the pattern offset described in the previous paragraph. The only way I can get the pattern offset to work, is if I select the MIDI Clock to be sent to the MIDI port connected to the MC-909.
I would like to figure this out because I'm thiinking about buying an external MIDI synchronizer, but I don't want to lose the ability to have logic specify the offset into the pattern on the MC-909
Thanks,

Can anyone help me understand how font sizes work in Mail?

Hi
I am used to writing and sending emails in Arial 10 (on my PC using Outlook) - it seems like a professional sort of size to send to people.
So I have set the Mail Preferences Fonts to Arial 10 for the message font
But when I receive emails, the font is so small I can barely read it. I have a new 24" iMac and just cannot get to grips with keeping font sizes at a reasonable level between applications. And I though Mac was supposed to be joined up....
As I write the text of this posting, the font is a good size to read (although still looks blurred - see my other postings) - it is in Arial which I want.... But I cannot get Mail to wrk in the same way.
I do not want to change the font size to the email messages to a bigger font size, as I want my outgoing messages to be received in font size 10.
Please help me understand how this is all supposed to work in MAC? It was all so easy on a PC!

No, it is one of several unfathomable shortcomings in Mail that you are unable to set a minimum text viewing size. I too have 24in iMac and I have to enlarge each incoming message manually using Cmd+ and this is frankly Stone Age stuff, especially when dealing with hundreds of emails every day. Another very poor alternative is to use Ctrl and the scroll wheel to zoom in but your head will soon be spinning as the screen moves around.
FWIW, I am also dismayed that Apple has disabled the Contextual Menu in 3 of the 4 mail address fields. There must be some obscure justification for limiting CM copy and paste to just the Subject field but I just think it's risible.
And why can't I save a message I have just written to a place of my choosing? Instead I must save it to the Drafts folder or send it first and then Save As from the Sent mailbox. Is this someone's idea of fun?
I could go on about Mail's shortcomings but that's enough ranting for now...

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?

Muse allows you to create websites without knowing HTML / CSS etc...
If you can use Indesign you'll be able to use Muse.
A site created in Muse can be published with just a couple of clicks to Business Catalyst.
However Business Catalyst can do much more ~ it can allow you to create and manage the website of almost any kind of business.
Here is a short blurb from the BC / FAQ:
"Once your clients log in, they will have immediate access to their contact database, orders, web form submissions, products, catalogs, web pages, and email marketing campaigns from one central location — all built to work together."

Need to understand how ioctl errors work.
