tyvm Matt (i hate windows vista)

I recommend buying two of these for the best possible MB performance playing any game. Any less then 2GB just doesn't work. And the price on these sticks are unbelievable--a few months ago they were $100, now they're $50!
Good luck!

I have just taken delivery of my first MacBook Pro so I am new to all that goes on underneath the cover. One quick question though...I had pre-installed three programmes to cover Exel, Word and Powerpoint. Can anyone tell me where to find them?

I have just taken delivery of my very first MacBook Pro so I am new to all that goes on under the cover. Can anyone tell me how I open the pre-installed programmes which are compatible with Word, Excel and Powerpoint?
Thanks

Your welcome, gald to be of help
Welcome to Apple Support Communites and to the Mac, after a little time you will be flying!
Make sure if you have not done so yet to run software update to make sure you MBP is up to date, you can do this by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left on your menu bar, and clicking on Software update.
One other thing that will help you when posting here is to make syre your profile is up to date/correct. You have in your profile as of now your MBP model and year which is freat, but you have for your operating system, iOS(mobile devces) 7.02, which would be for and iPhone, iPad, iPod. Your MacBook Pro operates on OSX (which in your case should be 10.8.5, you can find this info under the Apple logo, About this Mac) having this info available to anyone reading a question post is very helpful for them offer advice/sugesstions that may apply to your particular OSX, as well as eliminating confusion.
Thank you for the green check, by marking your respones it helps other users to find solutions if they are having a similar issue, if you are looking for something, after typing yor question, check the right hand side bar under "More Like This" and sometimes you may find an answer there.
Synergy is a great thing.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities and enjoy your new Mac.
One more suggestion is to purchase AppleCare it will extend your warranty to 3 years and you will also have free phone
in-store/online for the entire period. I have done this with my families machines and found it to well woth the relativly small investment.

New, very new. One quick question

I have been asked to make forms for the company I work for. I have no computer program experience at all. I have been playing around with designer and can make a basic form just fine. My one question is this: Can you make it so the data doesn't have to be imported in order for the receiver to see the completed form? My boss wants to open his email and see the completed form in its entirety without any importing or pasting. Can it be done?

Hi Martha
For interfacing with customers I think your company would need to invest in Livecycle Reader Extensions to achieve what your boss would prefer - however I understand that this is very expensive (I've read of $60k and upwards, depending on the size of the company, but you would need to obtain a quote from Adobe sales).
The simplest way would be for the user to have a pdf printer driver installed. Once the form has been completed they would go through the usual "Print" process (or you could add a Print button to the dynamic form), then select the PDF Printer driver, before emailing the final pdf document. There are free drivers available to download from the web, though that is probably too much to expect your customers to have to do.
If you decide to stick with emailing and importing data option, then in case you're not aware of it the data file can also be imported into Excel 2003, which may be of use to you.

Dave

Help - one quick questions

If I purchase a new IPOD - will I be able to use my same library. I have a lot of music I want to put on a new IPOD. I can't deal with my old one freezing anymore.
Thanks so much.
Laura

yes - it works in my case, but I am not sure about the purchased songs from the Apple (the iTunes stores not yet available for Hong Kong), I heard that it is restricted to less than 5 iPods

Fixed and 2 quick questions (bios thread)

Hi Everyone, i need your help again...
[....]. since i installed Win2k3 on my system i was getting stability problems, especially lockups to black screen in games. On Win2k3 i was using the exact same drivers as I am going to list soon, and so I thought I'd install Windows XP again on a spare hard drive to see if this helped. I wish i'd never messed with my system my previous XP install was almost 100% stable, but that's another story.
Today I perfomed these steps in this order:
1)Downloaded SP1a
2)formatted new hard drive
3)Booted from CD, did a Windows XP Pro install
4)Started XP Pro, installed SP1a
5)Installed Nforce system drivers and Display Drivers 29.42 (these were very good to me before...) and restarted
6)Installed Speedtouch USB ADSL Drivers 2.0.1.2 and went online
6.5)Enabled Hardware Acceleration on Displayt Properties
6.7) Installed direct x 9.0a web setup.
7)Did full windows update: all the critical stuff, most of the recommended (except MEssanger, Media Player and a couple others) and the CPU driver (left my Gfx and Sound on the above)
8) After a restart started a game
It lasted all of 10 seconds once I started playing.
Ok, maybe 5 seconds. Smae as Win2k3!!! I was running bios default performance options, with APIC off... so I ran Prime 95 for a while, got no errors .... about to try a memtest86 but I'm pretty cetrain the memory is good never had trouble with it before at all and I've tested it before too.
Can someone help me out? Here's my hardware config
[size=11]
AMD XP 1900+ (no overclock any more)
MSI K7N420D MB
2*512MB DDR266 Samsung 'Transcend' Memory (unbranded really) (16 chip DIMMs)
Geforce 2 MX400 32MB SDRAM (unbranded - runs a little faster then onboard graphics)
Adaptec 29160LP Scsi Card
IBM 16000rpm 32GB SCSI Disk (UW-2)
2*WD1000BB 100GB Western Digital IDE Drives (the normal ones with 2mb cache) in Software Raid - 0 on Promise card
18GB Maxtor ATA66 IDE hd on Nforce, with CDR.
a Promise Ultra TX100 Dual IDE Controller card (for CD Rom + expansion)
Enermax 431w PSU / 7200rpm fan on heavy HS.
Windows XP SP1 / DX 9.0a (going to reformat to Win2003)
[/SIZE]
I could really do with anyone's working driver config for a windows XP sp1a system, and how to build it from the bottom up. If a given driver config that works 100% for others fails for me I can start hardware troubleshooting and cursing loudly, otherwise with any luck it'll fix my problem.... please help me out i know there are people out there still running NForce 1 boards!
Quick question that could help: what sound driver revision from windows update should i be using? I can get the archived ones....
Thanks,
Naveen.
PS If i manage to fix it i'll update here, but i need a hand plz

.... also, I have the same errors running the same game from Win2k3 on a SCSI drive through the PCI bus (adaptec 29160) on the 2.7 bios. It looks like there is still an issue with fast PCI bus read/writes, sound usage and AGP card usage causing crashes. Discounting the OS change and APIC, I have these scenarios:
1) Game running off IDE drive on Nforce IDE ports: fine
2) Running of IDE drives on promise controller card: fails, locks.
3) Running off scsi drive on Adaptec 29160 card: fails, game locks.
So we may still have an issue with PCI read/writes and stability on bios 2.7 and Nforce system drivers 2.03 ... which is big news really.
I hope one of the moderators can put MSI in the picture and get them or NVidia to look into this. I can try eliminating APIC and the OS/Drivers from the issue, and install the game on all 3 drive configurations to confirm the above if necessary, but it's what it looks like from here. Using Performance bios defaults with no overclock, underclocking didnt help.
Perhaps bios 2.4 will fix this in which case the bios still needs work, 2 years on.

Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

Hi there,
I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
Just a couple of quick questions.
1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file. Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead?
If so, should I delete the library and start again? (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
- a kind of sub-question to this one: some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD. Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes? Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes. The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes. When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes? Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
Cheers,

The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count. Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder. By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media. All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
Nathan

Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
Only experimentation will answer that one.

2 Quick Question

Hello - I'm pretty new to Motion and have 2 quick questions:
1) If you've got a bunch of keyframes on a timeline and want to make the entire sequence longer - is there a way to just pull the last frame out and have it automatically interpolate the keyframes in between so that it keeps the same timing and everything... it just makes the whole sequence take longer?
2) On the same timeline with a bunch of keyframes, can you apply one long Interpolation (ala "Ease Out") to the entire thing from A-Z so that the whole sequence eases out rather than just keyframe to keyframe?
Thanks!!
Jason

Heya,
1. If you're asking if you have something like the "roving" keyframes in AE...well, kinda. Keyframes on footage, shapes, generators, particles, replicators—objects that create an image—don't seem to scale. But keyframes on secondary objects like behaviors and filters do scale.
2. Very easy: go into the Keyframe Editor and click on the animation state icon/menu for the parameter you want to change. The icon/menu is the last column after the parameter's value in the left-hand side of the Keyframe Editor. If you pick an interpolation type in that menu, it applies it to all keyframes in that particular curve. It's also the same place where you can set the before/after extrapolation, like ping-pong, progressive, etc.

Quick Question: When to use ( ) and when to use [ ] and why the ( *)

Hi all,
A quick question that i'm sure is very simple but is slightly confusing me. I've just started trying to learn Objective-C and am a little confused by ( ) and [ ].
I get that you use the [ ] brackets when you want something specific from an object, i.e.
[ textField textColor ]
and that you use ( ) brackets for things like:
if ( x == y) {
But I get confused when I see things like:
NSLog(@"some text here");
Why does that get ( ) brackets and why is it not [ ].
Also another point of confusion, creating methods... Why are some methods done like:
- (void)awakeFromNib
And others done like (with the additional "*" added):
- (NSString *)stringvalue
As I said, I'm sure this is very simple and obvious, but it is confusing me slightly.
Thanks in advance!

Adam:
As you already know, square brackets are used to send a message to an object, so if a object like myObject implements the method -doSomething, you can call it with:
\[myObject doSomething\];
The other use square for brackets have is to index C-style arrays, such as:
aValue = anArray\[10\]; // Get the 10-element of an array
However, because C-style arrays are rarely used in Cocoa applications (use NSArray instead) you will not see this situation often.
Parenthesis in expressions are used to group and prioritize, such as:
x = 10 * (3 + 5); // x = 80
If () statements use it to delimit the test expression. Same with while (). for () uses it to enclose the limits and increment statements, etc.
The other important use of parenthesis is in calling a C function:
result = foo(3);
means that you are calling the function named foo with the argument 3, and storing the the return value in the variable 'result'. This is different from a message because a C function is not a method of an object. They exist independently of any objects. NSLog() is a function defined within Cocoa but it is not a method. So, you call it with the traditional C function call syntax. Cocoa defines other functions like NSStringFromRect(), which takes an NSRect as argument and returns a pointer to an NSString.
And that leads me to your last question. Some methods return simple types, like int, float, or void (i.e. returns no value). These methods will have prototypes like:
\- $void$returnNothing;
\- (int)returnInteger;
Other methods return pointers to types, like:
\- (int \*)returnPointerToInteger;
\- (void \*)returnPointerToAnything; // In obj-C one typically uses id instead of void*
Returning whole objects from methods has problems and it is better to just return a pointer (the address in memory) instead:
\- (NSString *)makeAString;
The method above returns a pointer to an NSString rather than the entire object.
Good luck with your learning,
Juan-Pablo

Quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation.

Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding best practice and dedicating NIC's for traffic seperation for FT, NFS, ISCSI, VM traffic etc. I get that its best practice to try and separate traffic where you can and especially for things like FT however I just wondered if there was a preferred method to achieving this. What I mean is ...
- Is it OK to have everything on one switch but set each respective portgroup to having a primary and failover NIC i.e FT, ISCSI and all the others failover (this would sort of give you a backup in situations where you have limited physical NICs.
- Or should I always aim to separate things entirely with their own respective NICs and their own respective switches?
During the VCAP exam for example (not knowing in advance how many physical NIC's will be available to me) how would I know which stuff I should segregate on its own separate switch? Is there some sort of ranking order of priority /importance? FT for example I would rather not stick on its own dedicated switch if I could only afford to give it a single NICs since this to me seems like a failover risk.

I know the answer to this probably depends on however many physical NICs you have at your disposal however I wondered if there are any golden 100% rules for example FT must absolutely be on its own switch with its own NICs even at the expence of reduced resiliency should the absolute worst happen? Obviously I know its also best practice to seperate NICs by vender and hosts by chassis and switch etc

Quick Question about fade effect

Quick Question:
If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
when a button is pressed.
How would I do that within the code?

You can do something like on the click of the button:
var fader:Fade = new Fade(targetUIComponent);
fader.duration = 1000;
fader...;
fader.play();
or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
similar code.
or define transitions from one state to another like:
<mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
toState="OneOnly">
<mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">
<mx:Iris showTarget="false" duration="350"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction name="visible"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction target="{p2}"
name="includeInLayout"/>
</mx:Sequence>
</mx:Transition>
Hey,
I would like to use the "transition from one state to
another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
helpful.
If you can comment on each line of that code that would help
thanks

Re-importing into iPhoto 06 Quick Question

I hope.
My photos are on an external hard drive. I jogged the wire the other day during an import and stopped the import. When I next loaded up iPhoto all the photos had changed to ! , so I reimported them, which all worked fine, but it's reimported everything including the thumbnails, so I now have every picture at least twice and want to get rid of all the small sized files.
Can I do it a quick way like search for photos below a certain size or should I import from a different point? I imported from the iPhoto directory, but should I have been a bit more specific on a sub directory? I want to make sure I get the original photos and any photos I've edited.
Finally, should I delete the existing thumbnails in one of the directories before I re-import?
Thanks

It’s not a quick question.
so I reimported them, which all worked fine, but it's reimported everything including the thumbnails, so I now have every picture at least twice
This was not the way to go about this. You’ve now imported to a damaged database and that is inherently unstable.
There is no way to search on file size in iPhoto. You may have some luck with Duplicate Annihilator
However, do you still have the original library? If so, here’s how to start over:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Quick question about sim transfer

Hi all,
I have a quick question and hopefully one of you guys would be able to help me. My friend purchased his 3g iphone today and hes giving me his old iphone. I currently have a blackjack and I wanted to take the sims card from the blackjack and put into the original iphone. Will the iphone work with my sims card? It is an older sims card, says 64k on it. If not, would I have to bring it into at&t and get it activated w/a different sims card? Hopefully all this isnt confusing. Thanks for any help. Cheers!

You're welcome.
I guess that also means I would have to upgrade to the 20 dollar data plan without the text messages as well?
The unlimited data plan for the first generation iPhone still costs $20/mo and includes 200 SMS. The only thing you need to get from an at&t store is a new SIM card. Take the iPhone with you telling them what you plan on doing and they should give you a new SIM card at no cost.
You will activate this iPhone with iTunes on your computer. If you are an existing subscriber, your calling plan will transfer to the iPhone, and any existing data plan you are using with your current phone will be cancelled. If you are an existing subscriber, your only selection will be the $20/mo unlimited data plan which includes 200 SMS, and you can select 1,500 SMS for an additional $10/mo or have unlimited SMS for an additional $20/mo.

Quick question about SATA 2

Hi,
Very quick question,
Are the newer SATA2 Hard Disks compatible with the older model of the Mac Pro? May sound stupid, but I believe that the Mac Pro was released before the SATA 2, so just wanted to check the Mac Pro hardware etc will take SATA 2.
By older model of Mac Pro, I mean the one released before the newest available models (2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core).
Thanks!

Hi 02drummersteve02;
SATA 2 is backwards compatible with SATA 1. So you can install SATA 2 drives in a SATA 1 computer.
