New DSLR owner (70D), need some pointers

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and am trying to learn as much as possible about my new 70D. I just have a few questions I was hoping I could get answered.
1. Should I always be shooting in RAW mode? I want the best possible images...
2. Should I always try to be using the lowest ISO possible?
3. What lense would you recommend as a prime? I have two kit lenses but am looking for something that would be good at everything (landscapes, portraits, etc.)
I'm sure I'll think of more but if I could get any responses on these I'd surely appreciate it!
Thanks

1) Yes, but then you have to learn post processing and need a bigger HDD to store your images.
2) Yes, whenever possible. But don't be afraid to pump up ISO in lower light situation to keep desired shutter speed or aperture. Newer camera is pretty good with high ISO.
3)There is no such thing. Generally, people use Wide angle lens for landscapes and mid-tele for Portrait. You don't have to get Prime, you can settle for zoom L-lens. They're much better then the kit lens and may fit your requirement better than prime.

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

3. So I guess the general consensus is to reinstall the OS, is that correct?

5. I guess 5GB will be ok for what we do.

Still Have v. 10.4.11 but am configuring a new MBP and I need some advice..

hey-
I am replacing my 3 year-old MBP which never made it to the Leopard stage, because I was chicken. This one is going to be cleaned up and given to a family next door from a real poor area of Mexico and until they saw this had never seen a notebook. So I am excited about this.
anyway, I am configuring a new MBP together and I have a few questions that are probably pretty basic, but still questions. I should have thought of this before, but is getting a new MBP with Snow Leopard installed on the machine (and I was old by the support guy who helped me with the configuration since it will be used for a graduate school of architecture, planing, and preservation program too.
any feeling on jumping from 10.4.11 (which I guess is Tiger OS X) to Snow Leopard and totally bypassing Leopard? It sounds like Snow Leopard is pretty much a major "update" to Leopard, but that is probably wrong. (Just a side questions, what does the Operating System OS X mean and do all of the operating system have OS X or did it start at OS 1 and will keep going up?)
Is there a time when a person who wants to try and focus on school or other important things can pretty much be sure that a new OS has had sufficient time for the major bugs to be worked out and most likely can feel safer about making the purchase than if they had not waited and did not really care-thinking that Apple would get them fixed and the updates would fix the problems? I do not tend to think this way, but in this situation I am going out a bit from my usual "way" and living or should I saying hoping that this has happened and is true? Does that make sense? So, any feeling if SL has been out long enough now that Apple has had a chance to make sure it is doing well and has pretty much been integrated into the hardware and properly functioning of the notebook as a "single unit?"
thanks in advance for any feedback and I apologize if the wording was incorrect or I did not explain myself clear enough.

You should not find it hard to jump from using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) directly to using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6). Some things are a little different, including a few changes to system preferences & how the Finder handles changing views from one folder to the next, but it is fundamentally the same from a user interface standpoint. In fact, there are very few interface differences you would notice between using Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) & Snow Leopard.
What you will most likely notice the most when going from a 3 year old MBP to a new one is that its response is substantially quicker: startup is quicker, apps open faster, Finder tasks complete in less time, etc. This is due both to the more powerful CPU & other components in the new machine & to the new OS, which is more efficient than previous ones.
"Mac OS" is the generic name for Apple's proprietary operating system that runs Macintosh computers. There were versions 1 through 9 of this operating system, starting with the one developed by Apple for the first Mac that appeared in 1984, but the first version to get the "Mac OS" designator was Mac OS 8, released in 1997. It was followed by Mac OS 9, released in 1999. All of these versions can be considered decedents of the first one, with strong family resemblances both in their internal structures & graphic user interfaces. Mac OS X is much different internally, incorporating many components of the venerable UNIX operating system first developed in 1969 at AT&T's Bell lab, plus a graphic user interface update (named "Aqua") more suited to its greatly improved capabilities. It is not a "pure" UNIX variant but instead a synthesis of UNIX & Apple's old & current technologies.
Each major revision of Mac OS X has had a cat name & a "point number" like Cheetah for 10.0 or Tiger for 10.4. Each revision has brought new features to the OS as well as under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, these improvements come at a cost in terms of legacy support. Some applications require revisions to work with each new major version, as do some of the drivers for external hardware. Generally speaking, fairly current apps & hardware drivers have gotten or will get revised for Snow Leopard if needed, but there are no guarantees that all ever will.
There are also bugs in every major OS release from every OS maker. Generally, these are obscure, affect few users significantly, & are eliminated in updates released after the first major version, but even the updates can introduce new bugs. Snow Leopard appears to be more bug free than any prior Mac OS major release, but the possibility exists that some bug will affect you in some critical way.
That said, the chances of this are low, & you should not read too much into reports here of problems unless they are widespread & describe very closely the same problem. Keep in mind that there are already several million copies of Snow Leopard in use; any really widespread problems would result in tens of thousands of complaints & probably make the evening news as well.

New in srm, i need some help

Hy everyone, i'm new in srm, i need to learn how to create a new user in the system, i can copy an user, but if the user is external i cannot write in the table t77s0.
Does someone has a tutorial?
Thanks a lot, Julieta

Hi Julieta,
In table t77s0, you can set indicators for HR replication according to note 550055.
After this, for users which were replicated from HR system, you should not modify it in SRM system, but only HR side and synchronize the changes.
Regards,
Ivy

I am new to LR and needs some advice please

I have been using Raw shooter and have been shy of going over to LR.I am not a hugely knowledgeable user nor that technically minded. I purchased Scott Kelbys, and Martin Evenings book on LR and am learning as I go, I have been reading several threads on this site and I am concerned about all the negativity I am reading about LR being buggy, with problems?
and how it seems that Adobe are not doing enough with LR to address any such issues? I am a canon user and issues relating to Canon raw are a particular worry. I am about to put my entire collection from Raw shooter ( On External LAcie drives) into the hands of LR in the future. Is this a wise decision? Please help.
Also I want to get started if it is the right thing to do, my PC is getting on abit, with 4 yr old tech inside and only 1gb ram. I will soon get somthing more powerful with 2-4 gb ram. my second question is this. I will be running my libraries on external drives only ( LAcie F.A. Porsche).
If I have imported my images without moving folders, with LR 1.2 loaded on my pc. If later I remove LR from it and reload onto a new PC will it see all my libraries again and know all my settings again without issue and without having to re-do everything. If that is the case then I had better wait until i upgrade the Pc, before I start any work with LR, which will be frustrating.??
Apologies for a long question, but I am technically challenged. If anyone can assist me in these areas I would be grateful
Paul Apps

LR is not buggy and it converts Canon RAW files just fine. I run LR on a PC without any significant issues except speed. LR is too slow in some areas (importing images, browsing thumbs and previews, in particular) compared to other programs such as Photo Mechanic and ACDSee, but it is very stable on a clean computer. Many features need improvement but hopefully that will come in time. Meantime LR is quite good and I bet you will like it. There is nothing better overall.
You should never risk your images to any software or anything else. Keep a backup copy of your originals separate from the copy you use for LR or other software. Plus LR is a non-destructive editor (pixels are not changed) so your images will be quite safe.
As Tomrock said you can transfer your database to a new computer without difficulty. I do recommend a new computer, a 4 year old machine with 1gb RAM will probably be frustrating. Other folks say that a quad core processor and at least 2GB RAM is the way to go. My 2 year old dual core Pentium with 4GB RAM is definitely too slow for LR. You might also consider switching to internal hard drives in your new computer and use your external drives for backups. Internal drives for your images and catalog file will be much faster.
Also Tom's advice about importing a few images at a time and then testing how things work is very good. It is definitely a mistake to import a huge volume of images until your are familiar with LR. It is very easy to delete a small catalog file and start over since a few hundred images imports quickly.
Good luck.

Need some pointers please :)

Hi,
I've been given an application which I have to modify to edit a 'raw' image, so far I have been able to implement the loading of the image, but I am stuck with editing it.
The there are 3 classes to the application, rawimage, skelappipcanvas and skelappipframe.
So far as to my understanding, the rawimage class loads the raw image into a pixel array and then converts it into an image which is then displayed on the canvas. The frame contains the menu.
What I have to do is edit the picture, by manipulating the array, adding 5 to all values in the array for example. I understand that the best way to do that is to create a function and call that function when I select the menu option.
My problem is that im not sure how to implement the editing of the array..any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I have posted the code below..sorry for the amount of text.

Recommendations include:
* Use code tags when posting code. No one likes to look at unformatted code. To do this, either highlight your code block and press the "code" button at the top above the message block or place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
// your code block goes here
[/code]* Post a much smaller amount of code. I seriously doubt that anyone will look at your code given its length.
* But still if possible, have your posted code be compilable and able to demonstrate your problem. This is called an SSCCE and you can read up on it here:

I need some pointers debugging my website

Hi,
I've nearly finished my first website (yippee). However, I
uploaded it and found that when I click on some of my links,
whether it's some of my images or links to PDF files, they jump out
of the way or refuse to open! I would really appreciate some help
with this, since I'm a bit of a novice!
http://www.barryallanscott.com/new/
I'm not sure, but I don't think it's anything I've done
wrong. I was reading a manual for some help. Oh, it's Dreamweaver
8.0.2 I'm using.
Any pointers you could give me would be helpful, whether it's
the overall design or fixing the issues I mentioned. The site works
best in safari right now, but I'd obviously like to optimize it for
as many browsers as possible!
Thank you for your time!

Need some pointers getting video from iPhone 4S to iMovie09

Based on my research in this forum either of these methods should work, but they're not working for me. If you have any advice on debugging the problem it would be greatly appreciated!
I took video with the 4S and see that it's in the Camera Roll.
First problem: I plug the 4S into my MacBook, open iMovie, and click on the camera icon. The 4S is not recognized - the only camera that appears is "Built-in iSight".
Second problem: importing via iPhoto. So next I connect the phone, open iPhoto, and import the video. Within iPhoto it clearly shows up as a new event and as last import. I can play it there. Now when I open iMovie, in the Event Library I see "iPhoto Videos" but when I click on it I'm told that there are no matching videos. The "show" is set to all clips. So there is some sort of mismatch between where iPhoto is putting the video and where iMovie expects it. Any thoughts on what settings I can check? I've been looking around with no success.
Right now the only way I can use 4S video in iM is to use a different transfer mechanism (i use Nikon Transfer) to get the .mov file onto my machine, then import this file. Not the ideal scenario! I've also found that with vertical video I have to import as full original size, otherwise the video comes in as a stretched horizontal format.
Thanks!

If the photos/videos have not been deleted from your iPhone, try using the Image Capture application for the import to see if there is any difference.

Need Some Pointers for adapter development

All,
Can you point me some starting point, to write a adapter? We are using Adapter module to do SFTP(FTP over SSH) and trying to change it as a separete adapter.
Thank you
Ganges Leaves

Hi,
there's a sample adapter shipped with the XI
/people/gowtham.kuchipudi2/blog/2006/01/04/testing-sample-adapter
you can have a look at it
but you don't always need an adapter module
if you use it sor only a few interfaces you can do it much easier with a java proxy for instance

HELP! I'm new at this and need some help getting started

I am currently working on our website and was wondering how do I make a new page?
for example.
I want people to click on a link on the homepage to say a stockist list and see another page open with that information on.
Also I need to know how to make the homepage have white strips on the left and right (for an example of what I mean please visit www.internationalrobes.com)
I look forward to your replies!
Carly

Well, these are more web design related questions, but I will help as much as I can in the context.
Going about adding a page:
1) Navigate to Admin > Layout > Static pages
2) Add a new static page here and enter your content
3) Once it is saved, you should see an eyeglasses icon next to the page and you can copy that url and use it in a link.
4) For example
<a href="common/pagedetail.aspx?PageCode=test">My link here</a>
As far as the white stripes, I think you mean centering a page?
1) Edit the main master page under your theme
2) Center the content using css, more info here: [http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/center-div-block.shtml]
I think you would also benefit from the WebEx i created on implementing a layout into Webtools available here: [http://www.businessoneecommerce.com/developerdownloads/Implementing_a_Webtools_Theme.zip]

I´m new at flex and need some help.

Hi, I’m in the last year of my University Degree and I
was asked to develop a user friendly application to be used by
teachers and students at the University. With this application,
teachers will be able to post new projects with tight deadlines,
and students will deliver their project files through the same
application. The files will be saved in one of the University
servers.
I’ve downloaded the trial version of flex and I think
it’s amazing. I want to suggest to the University to use flex
2.0 to develop this application. I already know how to get data
from the database using ASP/ XML. But I still have some doubts in
my mind that maybe you guys can clarify.
Can I send files with a flex application and store them in a
specific directory in the server?
Can I create a new directory in the same server?
Can I add items to a database?
Regards from Portugal

Flex can upload files to a server.
Flex can not create directories. Use Web Service,
HTTPService, or RemoteObjects.
Flex can not add items directly to a database. Use Web
Service, HTTPService, or RemoteObjects.

I'm a very new user and I need some help!

I have recently started a new job and our website is managed through Dreamweaver, which I know nothing about. I was getting along until I was given a new computer. We installed a new version of Dreamweaver and when I launched it for the first time I was expecting to be able to see the local and remote sites, the way I could on the old computer. However, the remote site was not available. Please forgive my ignorance, and I did hunt for this info in the tutorials etc, but if I am communicating with the remote site, shouldn't all those files be listed without me having to put them there?

I did try. Alot of what I found dealt with creating pages and templates, which I will need soon, but not yet. I found the link below. It looked promising, but didn't end up relating to any option I could see for myself to try. I have tested my connection already so I believe I entered all the ftp information correctly.
Open and edit existing documentsYou can open an existing web page or text-based document, whether or not it was created in Dreamweaver, and edit it in either Design view or Code view.'

Hi,
I have a 24' I Mac that is a 2007,,,, it was only used for 1 month then put into storage do to a move,,,, I just got it out of storage and set back up again. It only has 1MB of Ram, and I would like to possibly get it upgraded to the 3MB, anyone know how much this would cost, and if it is worth it to do ??? Also what other suggestions for upgrades that can be done to this system to bring it more up to date. This computer is just about brand new. like I said was used for approx 3 weeks and thats it. I read MB or is it GB of Ram is the most this system will take, id this true or can I get more ???
Thank You
MWA1024

A 4GB kit will cost you just under $60
see > OWC Apple iMac Memory Upgrades
or > Computer memory upgrades for Apple iMac at Crucial.com
Plus you could/should upgrade to Snow Leopard. Problem is Apple no longer sell Snow Leopard thru the Apple Store, so you will need to call Apple Support and ask for a 10.6 Upgrade DVD.

SRM Monitoring Solutions/Strategy? New to SAP monitoring need some ideas..

I started a new rotation in my IT job. I am working with the SAP Basis team and my project involves developing a "monitoring strategy" for all of the current SAP solutions our company has implemented.
I would like to first identify possible areas that may need monitored. Does anyone have ideas or suggestions for me for developing a plan specifically for SRM? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello Mike,
you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Do you use SAP Solution Manager? With Solman you've got everything you need to monitor your solutions (CRM, SRM, etc....)....
