Newcomer Confused

Hey guys, I'm completely new to the macworld. In fact, I just purchased my macbook pro today! Anyway, I've been scanning the forums for a question/answer similar to my own, but I can't seem to find anything... basically, it's a question about battery calibration. I get the idea of it, to let the battery drain down to 0 and whatnot, but my question is during this draining period, does the computer have to be constantly "on", or can it go to sleep mode and or turn off? Basically, can I not use it and just let it go to sleep before the battery actually is drained all the way or would that affect the overall recalibration?

hi cinephile,
during the draining period your computer can go to sleep (although it won't use much power then and it will take longer to empty the battery) but you can't turn it off since you will have to run it to empty your battery until it shuts off after the warning. when it's completely empty you should let the battery rest for the suggested time (i usually leave it to rest over night). after that you can charge it and during that you can of course use your macbook pro.

  • BlazeDS/Security/Spring/NonBlazeDS/NonSpring/Confusion Oh My

    I'm new to Flex (coming over from the pure JEE world.) One of the first things that is needed for any application is security authentication/authorization. I've been extremely disappointed, though, in the lack of good examples with best practices on how to handle this, or if there is a book that covers it well let me know and I'll purchase it.
    I'm working with BlazeDS at the moment (but not opposed to scrapping it.)
    I have managed to finally get a security setup using blazeds-spring integration working, but their forum is a ghost town so it makes me think that there aren't many people using it. The docs are also extremely vague. Had it not been for some stuff that I was able to pull from these two tutorials by the same author http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_security.html#ach-setscr  http://www.gridshore.nl/2009/05/24/integrate-flex-security-in-mate-using-the-spring-blazed s-integration-project/ I would have been completely lost. Even though it's 'mostly' working, so much is unknown to me, and because the reference doc http://static.springsource.org/spring-flex/docs/1.0.x/reference/html/index.html is so short it doesn't cover a lot of what is going on.
    I'm not even 100% certain I want to use Spring though (It seems to actually black-box too much and in some ways overcomplicate things with a lot of configuration), yet I want my application be portable across containers. Where are the examples on the best way to set things up? The blazeds reference doc chapter seems to gloss over a lot, and only confuses me a bit more. I'd like to see some real examples.
    As an example of some things that I'd like to see:
    1) When not using Spring security, where is a concrete implementation of handling authentication and authorization (with/without blazeDS - I just want a good best practice example of how things are handled)?
    2) How are people dealing with session time outs? (user clicking around in application and then they happen to make a server call but their session is gone. Do you simply poll every few minutes to keep the session alive?)
    3) Are people putting up a filter up before the blazeDS filter to check the user's session is valid? If the session isn't valid and you've set up a filter, what happens on the flex side of things if the filter finds an invalid session? It can only redirect for forward so how does it trigger the client flex app that it needs to invalidate its internal storage of an authenticated user and hence needs to redisplay the login page. I know how to set things up in a traditional java web app, but I'm a bit stumped here... I only have one main "FooBar.swf" file, so when the sesison filter realizes the user's session timed out where do I "go" - can I somehow just redirect to the same main page "FooBar.swf" and somehow Flex can be aware that "Hey ok some event happened so I need to invalidate my flex user and present the login page (login component)"
    Thanks for any suggestions/help on what to look at for best practices.

    Hi,
    Did you got any ideas on this one? As a newcomer to Flex/BlazeDS I'd like hear those?
    I'll add my thoughts to the discussion you started.
    2) How are people dealing with session time outs? (user clicking around
    in application and then they happen to make a server call but their
    session is gone. Do you simply poll every few minutes to keep the
    session alive?)
    I check the session in a filter for each request. If there's no valid session, the filter sends a response message to flex app which shows it as a Alert message.I'm not (yet) using blaze, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
    If you want, you can configure the session timeout in the web.xml of your web app, so no need to poll. It would be nice to get asynchronous event from the server side when the session times out. This requires to use the pub/sub method of blaze or java messaging on a servlet.
    The web.xml of the blazeDS samples has the following lines
    <!-- Http Flex Session attribute and binding listener support -->
        <listener>
            <listener-class>flex.messaging.HttpFlexSession</listener-class>
        </listener>
    To me this indicates that you can define a listener for the session somehow. It would be nice to know more about this.
    3) Are people putting up a filter up before the blazeDS filter to check
    the user's session is valid? If the session isn't valid and you've set
    up a filter, what happens on the flex side of things if the filter
    finds an invalid session? It can only redirect for forward so how does
    it trigger the client flex app that it needs to invalidate its internal
    storage of an authenticated user and hence needs to redisplay the login
    page. I know how to set things up in a traditional java web app, but
    I'm a bit stumped here... I only have one main "FooBar.swf" file, so
    when the sesison filter realizes the user's session timed out where do
    I "go" - can I somehow just redirect to the same main page "FooBar.swf"
    and somehow Flex can be aware that "Hey ok some event happened so I
    need to invalidate my flex user and present the login page (login
    component)"
    Why not just have different swfs? When the session is not valid, redirect to login.html (a wrapper for login component).
    If I have understood correctly, Flex uses HTTP GET method to communicate with the browser. So it might be possible to send parameters to the app after the filter. Also, using java script and external interface might be helpful here.

  • Apple ID appearing on another iPhone device (Sync confusion)

    Issue
    iTunes is sporadically requesting access to my partner's Apple ID account when downloading applications and trying to install the other iTunes account applications also when syncing takes place within iTunes. System software/accounts seems confused.
    How can I ensure that both devices remain separate and do not access each other's iTunes accounts or sync over Mac logins? How can I delete mixed applications from separate Apple ID's ensuring it won't replicate the deletion on the primary Apple ID?
    Background
    1 x Macbook Pro OS 10.8.2
    iTunes 11.0.1
    App Store 1.2.1
    1 x iPhone 4S OS 6.0.1 (Device A)
    1 x iPhone 4 OS 6.0.1 (Device B)
    Separate Apple ID's
    Separate iCloud accounts
    iTunes accounts
    Both people have our own iTunes accounts linked to their own device. All details are currently correct when checking Apple ID profiles.
    MacbookPro
    Both people have separate MacBook Pro logins and software is all up to date.
    History
    In the past, over a year ago, both iPhone devices were sync'd via the same iTunes and Macbook log in. (Not a good start I know) Both iPhones always had their own iTunes account for downloading apps and music etc. When I realised I was syncing application data from one iPhone to the other on my Macbook, I created two Macbook log ins. I deleted all applications on Device B that were transferred from Device A and also deleted the applications in Device B's iTunes account. It seemed that both devices finally had seperated, retained their own Apple ID logins, applications and Macbook user logins.
    Device B recently tried to install an application that Device A also had.
    The application installed onto Device B without an issue and there was no confusion with Device A having the same application. The application can be upgraded to provide additional functionality. When Device B requested this within the application to upgrade, the Apple ID of Device A suddenly appeared.
    I checked that Device B was asked to INSTALL the primary basic version of the application rather than OPEN it, just incase the confusion started at this point. It definitely said INSTALL.
    I thought the divorce was done and dusted in the past.
    Why would Device B suddenly point Device A's Apple ID?
    To troubleshoot, I connected Device B to iTunes on the MacBook with Device B's Macbook log in. When iTunes opened within the Apple ID of Device B ALL DEVICE A applications appeared and started to sync these applications to Device B! I am back to mixed accounts.
    How can ITunes suddenly connect the Apple ID's of both accounts and then tell Device B it needs to install Device A's applications? They are separate Apple ID accounts, separate copyright, separate costs.
    I know with iMatch that you can share the library with another device and when this occurs it locks the Apple ID of the primary iTunes account for 90 days on secondary device. We have never done this.
    I'm 'Syncing' trying to work this one out, please help!

  • HT1414 i am in the process of getting my iphone4 unlocked from att to use it on straighttalk. why do i need to "back up" the iphone and all of this? i dont have an apple computer sooo, im a little confused on why i need to do this. can someone please help

    Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&amp;t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

    Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
    You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

  • Computers on small office network - names getting confused on iChat

    We are using bonjour and iChat on the computers on a small airport network in our office as an instant messaging solution in our office - however, 2 of the computers (which are named differently) keep getting confused and both being called the same name.
    I have done the fix where you go to System Prefs, Users & Groups and then set the address book card to that particular computer owner, restart the computer and then open iChat (using bonjour) - it saves the name but then my colleague becomes the same name as me on iChat - so we do the same thing to her computer (set address book card etc) and it changes her iChat name, but then also seems to override what I had set for mine previously.
    Help!! What can I do to stop these 2 computers seemingly overriding each other? It doesn't happen with the other 4 computers sharing our network...

    Hi,
    In System Preferences > Sharing is the Name the Computer has.
    This does play a part in any Bonjour Connection.
    It is this name that appears in Shares in the Finders's Side bar.
    Separate for that iChat and Messages that have the Bonjour Account Enabled broadcast the details from the My Card in the Address Book.
    Issues can arise with some Server based Logins that create a Global Address book that changes the My Card.
    You get similar difficulties on some DiskImage roll outs of updates and the like if the details of the Address Book are copied as well.
    I am not sure what you mean by the "fix" in System Preferences > Users and Groups to change the My Card or the Computer's Name.
    Yes you can click the Contact Card for that account and it will show you it in the Address Book and it should be th My Card.
    Changing the My Card then does not alter which Card is associated with the Mac User Account.
    There is no access to the Computer's Name

    height = 30
    MyButton : 2
    x = 0

    width = 292
    height = 173I don't know why the result would like this? I have used add(...) method to add two component MyButton to the container MyContainer, But the bounds of the second component is not I want.
    So this problem made me go into confuse.

  • Confused about Open Cursors :(

    Hi all,
    i need some clarification on this issue, i've read throught the documentation and i'm a bit confused.
    I'm using 10.1.0.2
    select sum(value)
    from v$statname sn,
    v$sesstat st,
    v$session s
    where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
    and st.sid = s.sid
    and sn.name = 'session cursor cache count'
    The result of the above query is 4926, meaning i have 4926 CLOSED cursors in the session cursor cache.
    select count(1)
    from v$open_cursor
    The result of the above query is 16968, meaning i have 16968 cached cursors
    So there are two distinct cursor Caches ?
    now lets look at other statistic
    select sum(value)
    from v$statname sn,
    v$sesstat st,
    v$session s
    where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
    and st.sid = s.sid
    and sn.name = 'opened cursors current'
    this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
    I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection) ... so i'm trying to help my developers to find the potencial bug in application.
    How can i get the SQL from OPEN cursors ???
    V$open_cursor gives me SQL from CLOSED cached cursors ...
    Best Regards
    Rui Madaleno

    Hi,
    >>this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
    For your instance, yes because you use the sum(value) aggregate function. But I think that the best is get this value per session.
    select count(1) from v$open_cursor
    v$open_cursor shows cached cursors, not currently open cursors, by session. If you're wondering how many cursors a session has open, don't look in v$open_cursor. It shows the cursors in the session cursor cache for each session, not cursors that are actually open. To monitor open cursors, query v$sesstat where name='opened cursors current'. This will give the number of currently opened cursors, by session:
    select a.value, s.username, s.sid, s.serial#
    from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
    where a.statistic# = b.statistic#  and s.sid=a.sid
    and b.name = 'opened cursors current';
    >>I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection)
    In this case, you need to monitor you application. If want, you can use the OEM Database Console and go to [Top Sessions | Session Details] link, or to use this SQL above.
    By the way, do you are getting ORA-1000 errors ?
    If so, set the OPEN_CURSORS parameter high enough that you never get an ORA-1000 during normal operations.
    Cheers

  • Table numbering confusion and how to link to tables in a book/document?

    More questions :-(
    Table numbering confusion...
    I'm porting over (from MS Word) a document that has a bunch of tables in it.
    The document currently looks something like this:
    1 Major heading
    1.1 Sub heading
    text for that sub heading that refers to a table that follows (or may preceed) such as see Table 1-1 that follows
    Table 1-1
    Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
    Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
    Row 3                    etc.               etc.
    1.2 Next sub heading
    Text to follow that sub head that references Table 1-2 below...
    Table 1-2
    Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
    Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
    Row 3                    etc.               etc.
    2 Major heading
    2.1 Next sub heading
    Text to follow that sub head that references Table 2-1 below...
    Table 2-1
    Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
    Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
    Row 3                    etc.               etc.
    3 Major heading
    3.1 Next sub heading
    etc.
    Hopefully that makes sense.
    Currently it seems that the tables are numbered based on the chapter number with the chapter apparently being set at 2.
    I need the tables to instead use numbering based on the heading (Titles) numbers, but can't seem to figure out how to get the numbers set for the tables as I would want them to be.
    What do I need to do to make the table numbers reset based on the paragraph numbers (subchapters if you would refer to them that way...)
    Thanks again!

    What is the paragraph format of "Table 2-1" lines?
    Table numbering is commonly controlled by two things:
    1. Format > Paragraph > Paragraph Designer
    [table title para name]
    [ Numbering]
    and
    2. Format > Document > Numbering
    The default in Frame is that tables have titles of para fmt "TableTitle", but tables can switch that off, and also be anchored to paragraphs (often Headings) of any arbitrary format name and numbering scheme.

  • Form processing using getParameter Names() and Values() Seriously confused

    Hi all,
    I have an HTML table containing multiple <INPUT name='Flows[]' ...> to create arrays. However, when I try to process the code in my servlet it gets ignored and no excpetions are thrown. I know I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I cannot see what or where it is.
    Enumeration <String> paramNames = request.getParameterNames() ;
    double dFlows[] = null ;
    while (paramNames.hasMoreElements())
         try

    Parameter Name : Flows[] : Length 7
    Flows[] != Flows[]
    If the log is to believed then the error is in the if (pName == "Flows[]") but the log proves this to be wrong!
    Can anyone help me out with this, I really am seriously confused.
    Bill Moo

              if (pName == "Flows[]")

    I am confused about something.  How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro?  I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad.  The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it.  Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out.  The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for.  Is this a stupid question?

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

  • Print Module confusion - settings, templates, and migration to new system.

    I'm a little confused by some aspects of the print module.  First, I tried copying some of my print templates from Lr1.3 over to the print template folder in 2.3, and they didn't' seem to work right.  The layout display in the upper left preview window did not match the layout of the main preview window, and many of the settings were not right, such as what printer was supposed to be used.  Is there a problem with using 1.3 templates in 2.3?
    Next, I can select a paper type in the printer driver AND in the Lr color management section.  Do these each do different things?
    Also, what does the Lr "Print Resolution" do -- i.e. how does it interact with the printer driver "quality" options, which sets the resolution?  Does one setting override the other?  If select the maximum quality (i.e. max resolution) in my printer driver settings, should I uncheck the Lr "Print Resolution" setting?
    Finally, when I migrate from one system to another, am I supposed to manually copy over all my templates?  I would have thought that these would be saved in the catalog, but apparently this is not the case.
    Thanks for clarification on these issues,
    Larry

    Does anybody have any feedback on this?  I could really use some help since even after numerous searches I still cannot find the answers to the question above.
    Thanks,
    Larry

  • Issue with MacBook Pro (mid 2009) wifi multiple AP signal 'confusion'

    I'll try to explain this as best I can, not being an expert in networking!
    I recently upgraded my router from a Linksys WRT160N to an Airport Extreme, in the hope that it would do a better job of broadcasting a stronger wifi signal throughout my house. Whilst it is improved, it's still no good enough for streaming to my iPad 2 where I want in the house. Reading around on the web I discovered that I should be able to use the Linksys as an AP to extend the effective range of my wifi network, as long as it is hardwired into the base station via Ethernet (no WDS support on the Linksys model).
    So, I managed to get this all up and running, disabling the dchp on the Linksys, fixed ip allocation etc and using the same SSID and passwords etc. All is well with the iPhone and iPad2 access - they just automatically switch to the strongest signal no problem when I move around the house. Cool.
    The issue lies with the MBP - I have a favoured spot in the house where both the broadcast signal from the AEBS and Linksys are very strong, and the MBP gets all confused. opening up the lid from standby it searches for the wifi (bar moving up and down the signal indicator) and then just has an exclamation mark. I try to manually select the SSID but no dice. I have to switch the MBP adaptor off and on, rescan avail networks, and lo and behold two versions of my SSID are shown. Select one and then it connects. However, I have to go through this whole exercise every time I pull the MBP out of standby, which is very irritating.
    I do have a workaround - if I name the SSID on the Linksys something different, the problem goes away. However, i effecktively now have 2 wireless networks &amp; I then have to manually switch between the two SSID's to get the strongest signal depending where I am in the house. It's suffices for now but not ideal.
    What I don't get is why is it only the MBP affected &amp; the iPhone &amp; iPad 2 are fine? Is this anything to do with the 2.4 ghz &amp; 5 ghz being broadcast by the AEBS getting all mixed up with just the 2.4 ghz being broadcast from the Linksys??? Both 2.4 &amp; 5 ghz are broadcasting the same SSID.
    Any help appreciated.

    OK - fixed this now. By setting the 5 Ghz channel on the AEBS to a different SSID and putting this to the top of my priority WIFI connections on the MacBook Pro then it ignores the conflict between the 2.4 Ghz networks being broadcast by the Linksys & AEBS. No more hanging connection when I resume the MBP
