New user needs the most basic tutorial
New to the mac world and spending most of my time looking at help menus. can anyone reccomend a most basic tutorial to help me find my way around the screen .
Here is also an independent site many people find helpful:
http://macmost.com
though it's a bit daunting at first glance due to the many options (it used to be simpler). Another site you may find to offer some helpful resources:

Trouble accessing the most basic JRE functions?!!!
I'm in my 1st semester for Java programming, I've just downloaded the latest SDK to Windows XP, & everything appears to be fine. (the dancing bird etc) But I cannot locate the Text Pad in order to run the most basic Java commands to test my compiler. Can anyone help me? And please explain the various possibiliies it as if I were a child, my thanks in advance.
There is not magic that you need to know to configure the path variable, it is the same for Java as it is for any windows commands, just go into your "System Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables" and set up your Path variable. javac is just an executable (EXE) program like regclean or notepad. Look in your system and make sure you have your path variable include the fully qualified path pointing to where javac and java are located.
You are also going to have to setup a system variable called "CLASSPATH" and have it point to your java library. -
The most basic RMAN implementation
Version:10gR2
For my test db ora652, i need to use RMAN for backup and recovery. The backup location is an NFS mount called
/dbbackup/ora652I need to use the most basic RMAN implementation. I don't want to use a repository (Client RMAN)ie. i am going to invoke the RMAN utility from Database's ORACLE_HOME to do this.
Can anyone provide me the command to configure RMAN for this?
Here are my files
--datafiles
/u02/oradata/ora652/system01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/undotbs01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/sysaux01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/users01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/shp_tbs01.dbf
--temp files
/u02/oradata/ora652/temp01.dbf
--redo logs
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo01.log
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo02.log
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo03.log
--control files
/u02/oradata/ora652/control01.ctl
/u02/oradata/ora652/control02.ctl
/u02/oradata/ora652/control03.ctlA couple of things....
1) Did you know that Oracle actually provides documentation on how to do this type of thing? You can find the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Basics guide at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm
You will be amazed...they actually provide guidance on scenarios as well.
Here is the "basic" script they show for backing up a database.
RMAN> RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE WITH TAG "whole_db_copy";
# Make an incremental backup of the database to the flash recovery area.
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1
FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG "whole_db_copy"
DATABASE;
Now those are the basic commands you can execute at the command line. There are other possibilities depending on your platform is a shell script with a cron job, manually as the above script shows, shell script executed manually, Oracle Enterprise Manager (which is a pretty little GUI that requires no coding on your part), 3-rd party software.
2) You better test this on a non-production system.
3) You better test the restore on a non-production system.
4) You better have plans for storing your backups offsite....hate for a fire to destroy your system and all copies of the backups...wow your boss would be mad.
5) You better read the documentation and understand RMAN in general.

Need the most performance and scalable way to "trigger" JavaEE application
Hi,
Need the most performance and scalable way to "trigger" JavaEE application code running on WLS from PLSQL code.
There are some thirdparty JavaEE application running on WLS that we need to invoke from PLSQL code. I have looked at couple of options:
Option 1)
Use oracle db callouts(http call etc.) but it seems the connection to WLS will not be maintained across database-sessions and so every call from different plsql database-session will make fresh TCP/IP connection. Usually fresh socket connection setup is expensive and can become a bottleneck.
Option 2)
Use AQ in the database from PLSQL and have a MDB in WLS to invoke the java code. The problem here is how do I simulate the Request/Reply pattern using the AQ API from PLSQL. The PLSQL code needs to wait until the JavaEE code completes as it needs some result back from JavaEE app. AQ also does not have true temporary queues so I am not sure how it will work with concurrent user/sessions.
Option 3)
Use Java in the database, we have tried this but for our usecase it is too expensive resource wise and is not meeting our performance needs.
Performance is the triggering mechanism is of highest interest to us.
Any suggestions/pointers is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prantor
Edited by: Prantor on Nov 8, 2010 10:37 PMPerhaps you would benefit from viewing the problem differently.
In some/many/most cases the application server (WLS) invokes procedure residing in the DB server.
Place the control for the desired results in the application code running on the WLS. -
I'm trying to find an easy way to import my MP3 collection into iTunes without moving, copying or changing it.
I can't believe that iTunes doesn't have this feature, as even the most basic music players always have this.
I only use iTunes to sync my iPod, as I like Media Monkey to play my MP3s.
I have 137GB of MP3s, mainly from my ripping my CDs, LPs and downloading from Amazon. I've only purchased a handful of songs from iTunes,
Any ideas on how to do this easily?DAReese13 wrote:

It does have that feature. Why would you assume that it doesn't?

Okay, no problem.
If the top bar menu is not displayed in top left of your iTunes Library, use the CTRL+B keys to turn it on:
On that menu, use File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder you wish to add:
If you wish to add just one song, notice the File/Add File to Library command on that menu as well.
Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop from the file's location into your iTunes Library.
That's all there is to it.
By the way, it is possible to have Amazon MP3s downloaded to your computer and then automatically added to the iTunes Library by the Amazon downloader. I do it all the time.

Problems in creation of a new user in the workflow
Hello everybody,
I created a task "create new user" in the workflow. When I chose the "password" attribute, the entry couldn't be created. Without that attribute, I am able to create a user and see him in the monitoring, but can't log into the workflow because of a password error. Could anybody tell me what went wrong here? Did I forget a setting?
Thank you in advance...Hi All,
We suddenly started getting this error:
Access denied.
You may not have access to perform this task on the chosen person
or your session has timed out. (Try to log into the system again.)
As told above we already have extension=php_mcrypt.dll enabled in php.ini file like this.

If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? I was told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.
No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

IPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version
I have an early 2009 mac pro desktop with 6 megs of ram. iPhoto error, won't open, says it needs the most recent version to work but the most recent version won't work either because I have Mountain Lion. I downloaded iPhoto from the App store and the store said "you can't download the most recent version because you don't have Mavericks - would you like to download an older version?" So I said yes and downloaded it. It is actually the Mavericks version that downloads anyway. So I used an older version from my other computer and updated it to version 9.4.3. When I try to open it it says you need the most recent version. My library is on an external drive which was downgraded from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion because Mavericks wouldn't work properly on my computer. Now no version will open.
What can I do? Thank you for your help in advance.The exact error message is:
THe library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened. To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto. Then the Quit button is at the bottom of the dialog box.
I did install iPhoto 9.5 when I installed Mavericks, Keep in mind that all of my photos are not on the boot drive but they are on an external drive. I then got rid of Mavericks and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion then I copied the contents of a previous drive that only had Mountain Lion on it. 9.5 wouldn't open in Mountain Lion so I copied an older version from another computer and updated it to 9.4.3. 9.4.3 says you must upgrade to the latest version and 9.5 says you need an older version. So I am stuck now. -
I Can Add a new user, But the new user cannot logg in how can I solve this?
Hi there. When I add a new user every thing works great except when I try to logg this new user. The computer freezers at the logging window with the processing bar working indefinetly. To fix it I have to AppleCtrlpower swich to get out and restrat the computer. I can only logg in as the administrator... Can any one help me and point me to a right solution. Thank you!
Javivi:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
Good luck.

We have Creative Cloud for Teams, most users using Photoshop. One user left the company and has been replaced by another user. I removed the first user's membership and assigend it to the new user. When she runs Photoshop, she gets a 00 Days left message. Photoshop still seems to be useable right now but I'm wondering if I need to uninstall Photoshop and re-install it using her credentials? Seems like a lto of unnecessary work to me.
Hi Batterry,
There is no need for removal of the product . You can simply launch the product , click on Help>Sign out . Close the product and sign in with the new user's Adobe ID & Password. This should activate the product .
Cheers,

Firefox has always been great on going to selected sites, now for past week or so it goes off to the most random of sites even when the site you selected is well known and used, very frustrating
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== possibly after one of your updatesMalware on your PC can cause Search engine re-directs. Or it might be caused by a Rootkit.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. '''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)'''

Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget. -
I need a way to get a more recent but not current version of Firefox that my computer, a PowerPC processor Mac, will support. I am running OS X version 10.5.8. This processor/computer will not run Lion and the most recent version of Firefox will not run on it either.
On my second computer, same type, a newer version of Firefox crashes constantly while in Yahoo!Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
