Noob question about the docking adapter

Sorry guys, a real stoopid question... (but i would like a sensible answer)
How on earth do i use the little plastic docking adapter that comes with the classic iPod? I guess the power cord goes through the bottom of it but is that it? I dont understand the point of it...
Surely its just as quick to plug the power lead into the bottom of the ipod

The little plastic "tray" you get with ipods are only for use with docking stations like Apple's or an iPod compatible radio with a dock/cradle that the iPod sits in. It just helps the iPod sit better in a the dock.
For normal use with just the sync cable, you don't use the plastic adapter.

Question about the DB adapter

Question about the DB adapter
ns2006.0.7
Question:
It seems that we can only have 1 db adapter, but in the adapter defiition we have to specify the database. If I want to communicate to several different databases on different platforms, Oracle / SQL I need to install a DB adapter for each database connection.
I can't figure out how to add a second DB adapter, does anyone know how?
Thank you

Hi
We're new at developing our own agents etc. We've leveraged the supplied DB agent and written the relevant adapter, however we're struggling with the transformation.
Could I be cheeky and ask if anyone would be willing to share a transformation they have written for the DB adapter? Unfortunately no-one in our team has had past XML experience, so we're trying to backwards engineer from examples.
Thanks, Meghan

Just got an iphone... Question about the dock

Ok so I just got an iphone, and love it so far. the one question is, do they make docks that are just a tad bigger to fit it when its in a snap on case type thing? I tried it in the dock for my ipod 160GB and it didnt fit. thickness wise it did but they are about the same width and it just barely wouldnt fit. Any ideas?

Question about the digital adapter

Hi-
Fios just came to town and we have a Tivo HD so cable cards there, so that's what we'll order. We also have an old analog TV in the bedroom with one of the government subsidized $40 converter boxes on it so we can watch OTA TV. My question is- do I need to order the digital adapter as well, or can the FIOS coax go through the $40 converter box? Just to watch local or basic- I know we won't get HD or premium. Just need something to watch while we fall asleep....
Next question- I've read this forum and seems to be problems ordering initial service WITHOUT ordering a STB as well. Is that still the case?
Thanks all!
-Danny

Fios won't work with the government box, those are for OTA only. If you want to watch Fios channels, you'll need the digital adapter or another one of their boxes.

Question about the Power adapter

I just got my Macbook and I love it but I'm a bit confused as to the function of the power adapter. I plugged it in and it started to charge my battery. Is this supposed to happen? I thought the function of the adapter was to provide continuous power from an outlet supply. Maybe I'm under the impression that the second cord I received with my macbook is a power supply cord. Is it?

Also You can run the computer without your battery in but I believe it's not good for the computer.
This link explains the point you were making. MacBook reduces processor speed when battery is removed while operating from an A/C adaptor

Question About The Dock?

I would like to know, is there a way to have the dock open at the bottom and open a browser but not have the browser window or anything you open be above the dock, I want the dock to stay above the windows, I don't like that space it makes. If that makes any sense. If you take the dock and hide it, and open up a browser full screen, and then Un-Hide the dock it goes above the Window, that's how I'd like it to stay, or at least try it out, if there is a way to do it, using some other free hack.

Ha Yea that I know, Hmmm Let my try and explain this better, Ok this is how I normally have my setup, I have my dock hidden always, Safari always takes up all my screen, the way I like it. Now when I move the mouse down over the dock it comes up above the Browser window when I have it open, or anything I have open for that matter. Now if I open up a browser then un-hide the dock, it will be displayed over the browser window, application, Finder and so on. Now if you keep the dock not hidden and you open up a window, Browser (Firefox,Safari) it will open, but only above the Dock, this is what I want to fix, so I can keep the Dock not hidden, but also at the same time, not have windows stay above the Dock, where it leaves the space on the bottom Left and Right sides. I hope that made more sense.

Questions about the Dock

Hello
I have two things happening in the dock that didn't use to happen when I first got my Mac Mini last May.
First, when I quit a program, sometimes, but not always,
instead of the icon and black arrow disappearing from the dock, only the black arrow disappears. The Icon continues to sit there.
Secondly, when I start up some programs, the icon appears and bounces in the dock as the program loads, then disappears for a second ot two then reappears and the program is now loaded.
Neither of these problems is at all serious but rather just annoying. Any idea why they may be happening and how I might cure them?

Hello, Alan.
If you've moved an icon on the dock, it becomes fixed and remains there even if you've quit the program. If you don't want it there, drag it off and watch it go poof.
So far as the bouncing icon is concerned, it might just be normal behavior. Check your System Preferences for the Dock and try unchecking "Animate opening applications".
Good luck

Question about the docking station

I found a docking station for the z2 on a great price. My question is, will it work on the z1 compact ?

I think that contacts and magnetic mount is the same, but there might be difference in plastic holder which definetly will have slimmer slot. And it will be impossible to insert Z1c into that slot. Original Z1c dock (DK32) has 2 interchangible slots of diffenet sizes. I believe that one, which is wider, dedicated for docking Z1c with original case. So if Z2 dock(DK36) has also one spare wider slot adapter, you might be luchky if it will fit Z1c w/o case

Question about the "iPod radio remote"

I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
Someone that has one can perhaps answer
Cheers
Ray

I can at least answer some of the questions.
The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
displayed on almost all radio stations such as
Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
"USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
There are three settings for the radio which you
choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
No, there is no AM radio.
You can plug headphones into the remote or the
headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the
bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
via the dock connector.
There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
radio/remote is connected as they use the same
connector.
Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
will of course depend on where you use it. I've
used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
dropping to mono.
Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
(after you do this a radio function appears in the
menu), and some users have found that doing this
screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
course there will be those who disagree.
iPod
Radio/Remote Review.
Thank you for the reply.
Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

2 noob questions about speaker settin

. What if I don't sync the Creative speaker settings with windows control panel speaker settings?
2. What if I the speaker settings(both Creative and windows) don't match my speaker type?For example, I have only headphone connected to my Audigy 2 ZS but I set the speaker setting to 5. or whatever else. Will this improve my sound quality in games such as Battlefield 2? Am I?supposed to get the virtual 5. surround sound effect? Because I've heard that cmss upmixes stereo sound in?games to virtual 5. or 7. surround sound for headphones.
Thanks.
Message Edited by jermin on 06-24-2008 02:09 PM

Re: 2 noob questions about speaker settings?slightlys I have a slightly different set up.
I have 5. speakers that I use for movies and some games. For BF242 I use headphones because they give you an advantage as you can hear people creeping up behind. The virtual surround sound is really good with my XFi xtremeMusic.
First I don't think it matters what you select under Windows Control Panel as the Creative Console Launcher updates speaker settings in Windows. Second if you want virtual 3d with CMSS on headphones just select headphones and enable CMSS3D. Then click the 'headphone' button on the CMSS3D tab and you can test the sound - a helicopter pans around in 360 degrees.
Then in games set the software to output 5. - AFAIK. Battlefield seems to do this automatically but I can't speak for other games. I'm assuming the Audigy has the same CMSS3D tech that the XFi has.

CBWFQ: Question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command.
The following is the output of this command and lower side of the output shows
(total queued/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/342/0
If the packets drop occur due to the situation of no enough buffer,
"no-buffer drops" counted up. But "no-buffer drops" has not been counted up.
The "no-buffer drops" is 0 (zero) but "total drops" are counted as 342.
I guess there are other factors except "no-buffer drops" to add "total drops".
But I can not find any information about "other factors".
So I would like to know the "other factors" added to "total drops".

Questions about the T410s

Hey guys,
I'm considering buying the T410s because my last laptop was a Dell XPS and the GPU burned down after two years. I am a college student and I use my laptops quite extensively for homework, flash games, TV and movies. And I have a couple of questions about the T410s.
1. Due to my previous experience with my Dell XPS, I am looking for a more reliable laptop. So would I have to worry about the T410s heating up/burning down or breaking in like two years?
2. I am not much of a gamer, but enjoy videos sometimes. Will the Intel graphics card be able to run 'not so intense' games like Starcraft 2?
3. Also, would the 4gig of RAM be sufficient to run the Windows 7 64bit smoothly or I should choose the 32bit instead?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) your Dell XPS used the Nvidia GPU? That won't happen in the new T410s.
2) the Intel 5700 MHD GPU can handle 1080p easily, but games like Starcraft 2 may only played on low to med settings.
the Nvidia GPU Optimus GPU option would allow 4 LCD support through the dock, if you ever want to connect that many LCD in the future.
3) 4 gigs is fine for 64 bit OS.

Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.
