Online mac books and instore mac books??

hi i have family in usa who are coming over next week and they have offerd to bring me over a mac book as its cheaper.i was lookin the 2.16ghh, 120gb hard drive and was goin to upgrade the memory to 2gb. they say they can get this instore. is that possible or do you need to order it online to customize it? and also will there be any problems with bringing the note book into the uk?
mac book 2.16ghz white   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

They can buy the MacBook in store with the 2GB. Ordering it online would require it being shipped to a US address. Alternatively they could buy the base model and you could easily upgrade the RAM yourself to 2GB. It is a user upgradable part, thus it would not violate the Apple warranty, and would be much cheaper. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
In terms of bringing it into the UK, there shouldn't be an issue if they stick it in luggage or even carry on. If they wish to avoid possible customs tax just tell them (customs) the truth; it's a gift. Personally I'd go through the nothing to declare line, unless they have other items that need to be declared.
Further, Apple Warranty is worldwide, so if you have issues here in the UK the Apple stores or authorised service providers can work on the machine without issue.
I help this answer is somewhat helpful.

  • Resolution & "save as" ?  for online photo book

    I am making an online photo book through Snapfish. When I am done editing my images using Elements, I go to resize and make it about a 4X6 size with a dpi of 200 or so and "save as" a Jpeg. When I go to Snapfish to put my album together, I sometimes get an error messages as I try to place an image into one of the slots in the photobook. It cautions that the image has low resolution and will not produce a good image when printed. Should I avoid making the image smaller, or should I leave it as is? Should I be saving to Jpeg format? What process do you use when resizing and saving for this situation or any print you're having made? Thanks.

    Snapfish recommends a minimum of 1639 X 1233 pixels. I think I've made the mistake of downsizing my images to 4X6 instead of leaving them the original size. I know if I email I have to make the image smaller and also lower the ppi to 72. When you are editing an image to print to a standard 4X6, do you change the size of the image or leave it as is with a high resolution of 250 or more? Can I go back once an image has been reduced and try to make it larger? Or, will the image never return to the quality it once was?

  • Online Hotel Booking System

    Hi All,
    I used to hang out here quite often a while back (normally in the Java Programming section) and would pay quite a lot of attention to threads, maps and data structures.
    I want to put together a simple online hotel booking system as my own pet project to get a bit of expereince in JSP and web technologies -
    I ve picked up an Oreily book on this toic but does anyone know where I can find an example online hotel booking system which I can use to learn from? I m pretty sure these types of apps have been written in the past but there was not much on Sourceforge
    Any ideas?

    The server doesn't know what a booking is - how could it do anything for you? Your problem is also not about code synchronization - it is perfectly valid for two people to process a booking at the same time, it is only not valid to process the exact same booking at the same time.
    Me - I'd pretend that there is no such thing as two people booking the same slot at the same time - until the very last moment where you actually commit the booking to a particular person. One of them is going to be first and that's the winner, in the other's case before saving you'd check the database if it is already taken and then inform the user that he/she's out of luck. The stupid and easy solution that is also quite safe.

  • Online reservations/booking industry

    Hi All,
    What could be the possible scenarios in a Online hotel reservations, Online airticket reservations and online tour set up industry. Orders come through EDI, Online, Via phone etc.
    The company keeps the commission from the customer/agent and from the Hotel/Airline. What should be the general SD process flow and what special scenerios should be there?
    If SAP is already implemented there then where can we think of possible enhancement in the system?
    Thanks,

    Please provide me with your answers on the above mentioned question.

  • My ipod has logged me out of the game center, so I tried logging back in and it wont let me, it says something about itunes. So I looked online to try and find a solution. I eventually ended up logging out of my App Store and Itunes and now I cant log in

    So I have an 5th generation Ipod touch. I was playing games and noticed that one of them started completely over and said to log into the Game Center. I tried to but it wouldn't let me. So I let it go, but then the Game Center app just poped up whenever I was playing a game and said that I needed to go to the itunes store. I did but I didnt know what to do. So I serched online to try and fix it. In the end I logged out of my App store because it wasnt letting me download anything and I also logged out of itunes. And now it wont let me log back in to any of my stuff and none of my ipod information will download to a computer. And it says that theres an error with my accounts. So should I try resetting the ipod or create new accounts or what? Please help me.

  • How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?

    Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot.  I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting.  Window XP and Vista on my computers.  I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem.  thank you

    Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
    With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
    Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum).

  • Best practice - online redo logs and virtualization

    I have a 10.1.0.4 instance (soon to be migrated to 11gr2) running under Windows Server 2003.
    We use a non-standard disk distribution scheme -
    on the c: drive we have oracle_home as well as directories for control files and online redo logs.
    on the d: drive we have datafiles
    on the e: drive we have archive log files and another directory with online redo logs and another copy of control file
    my question is this:
    is it smart practice to have ANY online redo logs or control file on the same spindle with archive logs?
    Our setup works fairly well but we are in the process of migrating the instance first to ESX server and SAN and then secondly to 11gtr2 64bit under server 2008 64 and when we bring up our instance on the VM for testing we find that benchmarking the ESX server (dual Xeon 3.4ghz with 48gb RAM running against FalconStor NSS SAN with 15k SAS disks over iSCSI) against the production physical server (dual Xeon 2.0ghz with 4gb RAM using direct attached SATA 7200rpm drives) we find that some processes run faster on the ESX box and some run 40-100% slower. Running Statspack seems to identify lots of physical read waits as well as some waits for redo and controlfiles.
    Is it possible that in addition to any overhead introduced by ESX and iSCSI (we are running Jumbo Frames over 1gb) we may have contention because the archive logs are on the same "spindle" (virtual) as the online redo and control files?
    We're looking at multiple avenues to bring the 2 servers in line from a performance standpoint - db configuration, memory allocation, possible move to 10gb network, possible move to SSD storage tray, possible application rewrites. But from the simplest low hanging fruit idea, if these files should not be on the same spindle thats an easy change to make and possibly eke out an improvement.
    Ideas?
    Mike

    Hi,
    "Old" Oracle standard is to use as many spindles as possible.
    It looks to me, you have only 1 disk with several partitions on it ??
    In my honest opinion you should anyway start by physically seperating OS from Oracle, so let the C: drive to the Windows OS
    Take another physical seperate D: drive to install you application.
    Use yet another set of physical drives, preferably in RAID10 setup, for your database and redo logs
    And finally yet another disk for the archive logs.
    We have recently configured a Windows 2008 server with an 11G Db, which pretty much follows the above setup.
    All non RAID10 disks are RAID1 ( mirror ) and we even have some SSD's for hot tables and redo-logs.
    The machine, or must I say the database, operates like a high speed train, very, very fast.
    Ofcourse keep in mind the number of cores ( not only for licensing ) and the amount of memory.
    Try to prevent the system from swapping, because that is a performance killer!
    Edit: And even if you put a virtual layer in between, try to seperate the virtual disks as much as possible over physical disks
    Success!

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.
