Queries about switches

Unmanaged switches should be easier to setup as compare to managed switch, right? As the former is just plug n play without the need to configure anything whereas managed switch must. (correct me if i'm wrong)
Say if i were to implement switch to a company and to save the hassle and complexity of configuring should i opt for a unmanaged switch instead?
Excuse my ignorance as i'm a noob in such area

Unmanaged is also called "dumb" such as a "dumb-hub".Does nothing just allows all traffic to go all through your network, you have no control.Managed – allows you to take control of the network, allows ports to talk to other ports or none at all. For example I personally have a USR Total Switch (managed), in my network I have several servers (www/ftp/mail, etc…) all connected to the USR.

    Hi there,
    I'm currently paying for Flash but it looks like I may have to use Photoshop and After Effects too, so I was thinking about switching to the full plan. However if I don't end up needing Photoshop or After Effects is it possible to downgrade my membership to single-app in the future?

  • What are the rules about switching versions?

    I thought projects created in iMovie 9 showed up in iMovie 10, but I just tried creating a new project in iMovie 9 this morning and it is not showing up in iMovie 10, even though I see projects from 2013 and before in there.
    Also, what are the rules about switching versions? I know iMovie 9 much better, so can I start a project there and finish it in iMovie 10? I would like to gradually learn iMovie 10, but not all at once.
    I assume that once a project is edited in iMovie 10, it can't be worked on in iMovie 9 anymore.

    You have to update iMovie 9 projects to iMovie 10 from within iMovie 10 before they will appear in iMovie 10 as iMovie 10 uses a completely different project/event file system.  After updating you can still work on projects in iMovie 9 but you won't see any changes made in iMovie 10 and you can't transfer them back. 
    I would have a good look at the iMovie 10 help files first since a lot is changed and some features have been discontinued that might be important to you.
    In order to try out iMovie 10 on just one of your iMovie 9 projects, put the folders just for that project in a separate iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folder and hide the project and event folders containing the projects you don't want to update from iMovie 10 by enclosing them in a higher level folder (only projects and events folders in the Movies folder of the boot drive or at the root level of another drive or partition will be visible to iMovie).
    I did it this way and I'm glad I didn't try to update evrything at once!

  • Thinking about switching to Windows

    This is not meant to be a Os X vs Windows thread. I dont think one platform is better than the other, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. What I want to hear is what kind of pitfalls I can expect in regards to live video performance if I go down the Windows way.
    Reason I`m asking is:
    My Macbook Pro recently died, so I borrowed my friends HP Laptop with similiar specs. He has used it alot for music production, sound of movies etc, and quite a decent graphics card (6xxxm 1gb ati radeon) I wanted to connect a Matrox Dualhead2go to two 1280 x 800 projectors using Resolume. However, I encountered nothing but problems all the way. Couldnt dual monitor resolutions, display went black, drivers stopped working, program had to restart. When it worked, it worked well, but I think I aged 10 years during that gig.
    Before that I wanted to buy a stationary shuttle PC, top of the line, 7970 radeon 3gb, Ivy bridge, Dell Touch Screen etc, but now I got a little scared of doing the switch.Having used Macbook Pro`s ever since I started VJìng, I`m very much used to plug and play using Triplehead2go, it just works. I usually use crossplatform software (resolume, after effects) but I also use motion and modul8 from time to time. I can live without however. The simplest choice is to buy a Macbook Pro, I know it, it works. But I like the idea of multiple choices in hardware, the ability to make a semi transportable shuttle and to be able to connect 6 projectors using eyefinity as some promoters have asked me to do bigger shows. Portability is important, but since I drag around 3 + projectors, the extra 10kg`s is not so important.
    So to all Windows VJ`s out there (or people with experience from both platforms) what kind of headaches can I expect if I make the switch? I`m a quite tech savvy guy (learn fast) even though I dont have much experience with the windows platform.
    1. Do you experience driver issues and troubles related to that?
    2. I`m not dependant of Syphon, but I would love to see a Windows version eventually. Do you think that is likely to happen during the next couple of years?
    3. Blue Screen of death or other strange issues?
    4. I have always wanted to get into Quartz Composer to create patches and effects for Resolume, but is there a equavilent Windows version?
    5. I`ve always been drooling over this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxvQw0GVH2c, which is one reason I always wanted a PC.
    6. Slower performance over time using Windows? Or is that a thing of the past?
    7. Is the Os X video engine better than the one Windows is using?
    8. Any video software for windows that currently doesnt work in os x?
    9. Can you predict the future? is Apple leaving the pro market? Is Windows on a comeback?
    Hope this post is clear enough. I`m asking what I`m likely to miss out on, what I can expect, what headaches and what new possibilities comes with changing from Mac Os X to Windows. As my computer broke, now is the time for change, if ever. Hope to get some constructive replies guys!

    Good luck, but I doubt that you will. This is a Mac user forum; your questions are about Windows and would be better suited to a Windows forum.
    As for Q9, the moderators have a habit of removing posts that speculate about Apple's future direction.

  • Queries about PS module and subsequent integration with MM, SD and PP

    Hello Experts,
    Am posting the query for the first time so hope you all will excuse if something is not correct. Here is a scenario that I am working on:
    - The customer is a project engineering company wanting to use PS (but without networks - ONLY WBS)
    - We copy the neutral material BOM to create a project BOM
    - We create a multi-item sales order with a/c assignment to different assembly groups from the project structure for deliveries and billing
    - Project COST planning (V002 and V000) is carried out
    - Material stock must be valuated
    Following are the scenarios for commitment and actual costs:
    1. Direct procurement:
    Process: Material purchased with a PR generated from SO item --> PO --> GR --> IR
    Query: I am guessing that commitment will be generated through PO creation for WBS. What about actual? What type of cost element should be assigned to the G/L being affected during GR so that I can get some actual against the WBS?
    2. Procure to produce:
    Process:
    Common Purchase: Material purchased through a normal PO (without a/c assignment to WBS) for common unrestricted stock.
    Project purchase: Material purchased through project PO (with a/c assignment to WBS - resulting in commitment generation) and special project stock at the time of GR
    Both materials (from common and project PO) shall be used for production of an assembly which is being produced using a production order which is assigned to the WBS element.
    Query:
    How and when would I be getting the commitment / actual effects here?
    - Is any commitment generated when I create a production order?
    - Is any actual cost posted when I issue raw material to this production order?
    - What if the raw material being issued to production order was not purchased using this WBS? Is the actual cost still loaded on this WBS?
    - What happens when I confirm the production order to generate FG stock?
    What should I be careful about when defining this scenario and what type of cost elements should I be using?
    3. Procure - Produce - Sale
    Process: In certain cases, material procured  for common stock is issued for project production,
    Material produced for one WBS/Project gets issued for another.
    Query: How does SAP react in this case about the entire commitments and actual cost postings?
    I know there are too many queries but I hope you all understand that it is a project-engineering-manufacturing company so on one side the commitment-actual costs are important to be assigned to right project-WBS. At the same time, they also want to have the flexibility in their production activities.
    Awaiting eagerly for all possible help.

  • RFC: Queries about Arch culture and community

    Good day everyone,
    This is a request for opinions from the Arch community, especially the Arch developers, Trusted Users, and long time users. I am writing a review about Arch Linux which I hope to publish within the next month or so. Unlike most distro reviews, which are actually distro installation reviews, I have devoted a lot of space to The Arch Way, unique technical qualities of Arch, day to day use and maintenance of Arch, and the Arch community. In my view, the community of a distro is much more important than its installation process.
    If I may, I would like to pose some questions about the Arch community. FWIW, I have been quietly participating in the Arch community myself for some months now, contributing material to the wiki. Anyway, please take a look at the queries below, and comment on any as you see fit.
    Thank you,
    Luke Seubert
    1. Despite its modest size, Arch has a very enthusiastic community, as evidenced by its internationalization projects, derivative distros, 3rd party repositories, Arch schwag, active forums and wiki, etc. Is this statement true or false, and if Arch does have an especially enthusiastic community, why?
    2. Arch is deeply conservative, refusing to deviate from core principles. Still, within these bounds, Arch permits a wide array of innovation. Are these statements true or false, and why? If true, what are the pros and cons of such conservatism? If false, in what way has Arch deviated from its core principles or resisted innovation?
    3. The Arch community is fairly harmonious, with little bickering, flamewars, forks or threats to fork, etc. Is this statement true or false, and why? (I have my own theory on the why of this one, and the answer in brief is... dogfood.)
    4. How good or bad a job is Arch doing in cultivating new Trusted Users and Arch developers? Does it have a formal mentoring process? It seems the most direct path to TU status is to put together packages in AUR, and eventually have them voted into Community based upon quality and popularity. However, at some point, virtually all of the popular packages will already be in Community or Extra. How does an AUR uploader become a Trusted User then?
    5. Hypothetical Scenario:
    The Chakra Project successfully completes in alpha, beta, and release candidate Live CD testing, and releases its Live CD - version 1.0 - with the GUI easy Tribe installer, to wide acclaim - DistroWatch even raves about it. Suddenly, there are lots of new Arch users, who never went through the traditional Arch install process, who never "paid their Arch dues", and who are not nearly as clueful because they never RTFW. They are flooding IRC and webforums with really, uh, "basic" questions, and suggesting/demanding new features. How does the Arch community handle this abrupt change in its culture? Has it dealt with such culture shocks before?
    6. If only you too could lift cars over your head, would you be more cool, less cool, or as cool as Phrakture, and why? What if you could only lift cars over your head after eating a can of spinach and slamming a six pack of Red Bull? Then how cool/not cool would you be by comparison?

    Here are my opinions on these questions and do not necessarily reflect other Arch devs...
    1. True.  I believe part of the enthusiastic community comes from the fact that Arch requires you to set up your system for yourself.  So people become very proud of their achievement of getting their system setup exactly as they like it.
    This is an excellent point. There is a nice sense of pride that comes from tweaking your Arch install to just the way you like it. And it is an involved process requiring some modicum of skill.
    Also, people have always been encouraged to contribute fixes or start projects to fulfill areas they see lacking.  Seeing your work become used by many others is always a good feeling.
    Yeah, I have noted this in my rough draft. Arch has amazingly low barriers to entry. Sign up for an AUR account, which is quick and automatic, and get to work. Your status and authority is derived from a roughly consensual meritocracy, as opposed to a hierarchical, bureaucratic process full of gatekeepers, aka potential gateclosers, like most distros.
    This simplicity extends to our package manager, which I believe is a major factor in making the AUR as popular as it is.  (Note that while pacman is developed primarily by Arch users, it aims not to be tied to any distro).
    Allan, could you clarify this comment? How does pacman make AUR popular? While I use pacman to access binaries from core, extra, and community; I use yaourt to handle PKGBUILDs from AUR. I don't quite follow you on this one.
    But as always, the principles guiding Arch do get bent when it is sensible to do so.  It was always said we don't split packages like many other distros, but we do some splitting these days (e.g. gcc-libs, KDE).  We now include info pages and other docs.
    Both of which are good moves. A system should have documentation built in, for those occasions when internet access is down. And I might actually take a look at KDE 4 once again, now that I wouldn't have to download a pile of unwanted packages.
    3. There are flame-wars every so often...  The last one that was probably quite obvious to many was changing rules governing the community repo (requiring votes or 1% usage as defined by pkgstats) and the move to using the official db-scripts (which may be seen as making the TUs less independent).
    That is a flamewar that I missed. How does Arch resolve difficult issues? There is no Constitution that I could find, nor any formal governing structure. Is it as simple as lengthy debate, and then Dred Overlord Phrakture decrees?
    I have never heard of a treat to fork the distro or components of it.  I guess that is because of the attitude of show us a working implementation of a good idea and it will possibly become official.
    Well, there aren't forks, but there are a lot of derivative distros, some of them with very different goals. And there are a lot of 3rd party repositories out there, outside of AUR. I wouldn't call that forking, but it is, I guess, extending. I think such experimentation is a good thing - really good ideas might be developed outside of even AUR, and eventually brought back into the Arch ecosystem. I believe some of Xyne's packages got started that way, yes?
    Here is an interesting factoid I came up with in my research:
    Packages Per Maintainer Ratio - how many packages on average does a maintainer support?
    For Debian, the P/M Ratio is 28
    When you add up all the Arch Devs and TUs, and divide out the packages in core, extra, and community, the Arch P/M Ratio is 67.
    Arch devs seem quite impressive, until you recall that they mostly maintain one version of each package and for only two architectures, whereas Debian devs support 11 architectures for 5 versions - experimental, unstable, testing, current stable, and old stable. (Ugh - is that brutal or what?)
    Seen in that light, one has to admire the very hardworking Debian devs, and wonder a bit about those Arch dev slackers. Yet another T-shirt idea! Change the first idea so it now reads, "I'm a slacker Arch developer, and I eat my own dogfood!"

  • General queries about going from Tiger Quadcore to Leopard Octocore

    For those who have switched from their Tiger Quadcore MacPros to the new Leopard Octocore MacPros...I had some questions about the set up and how things are running now since its already upto 10.5.2
    I run basically these programs:
    Adobe Photoshop CS2
    ImageReady CS2
    Illustrator CS2
    InDesign CS2
    Dreamweaver / Flash / Fireworks 8
    Office 2004
    ProTools LE
    is there a general lack of support for the CS2 Applications and the Macromedia Applications?
    I dont have the funds at my disposal to unload on the entire CS3 Suite ( I REALLY WOULD BUT cant now...so CS2 is my only bet)
    Is there still support for the future with CS2 and Macromedia8?
    i realize theyre old Apps but they have faired well for me for the past few years
    Im just trying to get a general conscious of what to expect ~ i have tried running leopard on this set up ran CS2, Macromedia 8 and Office 04 didnt seem bad at all..but i wasnt sure as i didnt spend all day every day with them and moving to that specific platform id like to kind of be aware of any issues anyone has experienced first hand as there is no going back then - lol.

    Moved to Leopard with new Machine and the Bridge in CS2 stopped working and all I can get out of
    Adobe is so or this will not be supported.

  • Thinking about switching to Mac from Windows, Good Idea?

    I've always had a PC and I've never really used or work with a Mac.  I'm a little questionable about buying one.  What all do I need to know about Macs?  I plan on using it for college and personal reasons. I hardly do anything outside of my house with my laptop. I've got an iPad and an iPhone which is what lead me to buying a Mac. I've done some research myself, but I don't know whether the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro would be better for my uses.  Is it better to go for the 512GB flash storage or should the 256GB work out fine? I've got a lot of questions, so sorry in advance.
    Thanks for the help!

  • About switching (newbie question #1a)

    Coming from Aperture but trying LR4.1, I've found it painful to learn all the differences when you know Aperture well.
    I do have Victoria Bampton's book, which I am slowly going through.
    But some initial questions:
    -I've seen some definite buggy behaviour (forget what the issue was now), but it went away when I relaunched the s/w:
    how stable is LR generally? (being at the 4.1 release level, I thought it should be pretty stable; sounds like the Adobe s/w stability is not near Aperture from the reports I've seen about buggy behaviour (PS on the other hand I've never had a problem with; just upgraded to CS6 which is in part why I also got LR 4.1)
    -I don't know if this is a bug or a user issue: in grid view for a folder I select a photo (a virtual version, if that matters), then switch to loupe view:
    why does the arrow key (L or R arrow) jump wildly to some distant photo [relative to grid view and relative to filmstrip at botto] and back, instead of just moving along to the next/adjacent photo beside the current photo?
    Just tried this again and now it is jumping to the adjacent photo AND BACK: eg keep pressing R arrow and it just toggles between these two adjacent images:
    now I must point out that these two photos have a black and white diamond.
    But I have loupe view not Compare view. So what is going on?
    I just noticed if I clicked on one of the diamonds in the filmstrip I seemed to have exited that funky mode. But then somehow got right back in it. Then noticed I had my second display turned on and turning that off also got me out of the funny mode. This is really confusing.
    It appears the secondary display can have its own display mode: eg I've selected Loupe view, but once the secondary display was enabled, it showed Compare view despite my having already chosen loupe view, seems turning on that second display lets LR ignore you're set view...and you have to manually change that second display view also to Loupe to fix the issue.
    I think the issue is that the diamonds where on effectively putting me in compare view against my will/my command and against the displayed view mode shown in the View menu (all because the 2nd display was enabled and decided to use its own view mode!!). Does that sound right? Is that a bug or something Adobe would call an undocumented feature or what???
    -brushes:
    is there a way after I've applied one brush, then hit NEW to apply a second brush, for me to go back and further modify the first brush? EG add to or modify the strength of the first brush effect?
    If so, I am not seeing where in the UI you would go to access that.
    -keywords:
    I imported a keyword list and this shows up fine.
    I had a photo and dragged several keywords from this keyword list onto the photo and then let go (when I dragged onto the photo a green circle with a plus sign showed, suggesting I was adding the keyword to the photo).
    But the published photo on smugmug showed no keywords.
    So I go back to LR and look for the keywords but don't see anything.
    Where do an images assigned keywords show up? Is it in the box below I've highlighted in red? I tried again, and after dragging and dropping a keyword on an image, that box remains empty!
    Any help appreciated.
    -Colin

    I'll answer the questions that I can
    how stable is LR generally?
    Extremely stable for me and others, unstable for some
    -I don't know if this is a bug or a user issue: in grid view for a folder I select a photo (a virtual version, if that matters), then switch to loupe view:
    why does the arrow key (L or R arrow) jump wildly to some distant photo [relative to grid view and relative to filmstrip at botto] and back, instead of just moving along to the next/adjacent photo beside the current photo?
    If you have multiple photos selected, for example one that is visible and one selected that you would have to scroll way down to see in the grid, the arrow keys in loupe mode will behave like this ... it will scroll left or right to the next selected photo, not the next photo
    is there a way after I've applied one brush, then hit NEW to apply a second brush, for me to go back and further modify the first brush? EG add to or modify the strength of the first brush effect?
    Sure. There is a "pin", actually a circular icon the represents the starting location of each brush. If you click on a pin, you can add additional edits or brush strokes
    I had a photo and dragged several keywords from this keyword list onto the photo and then let go (when I dragged onto the photo a green circle with a plus sign showed, suggesting I was adding the keyword to the photo).
    But the published photo on smugmug showed no keywords.
    So I go back to LR and look for the keywords but don't see anything.
    Depends on what you did. Publish to Smugmug, there is probably an option that removes metadata on export. This would be in the Export dialog box.
    Go back to LR and the keywords aren't there ... did you by any chance re-import these photos?

  • Queries about automation

    hi all
    i am trying to automate an application using windows services
    i have written a small code in .net which compares
    the max timestamp with the source and brings the data from the remote switch
    in short appending the data
    now the application works fine
    but as it is a critical application
    and i new to the programming world i don want to take any risk
    can any one just point out some points of failure
    now the possible problem according to me might be
    the link going down at the time of transfer
    for that i used the timestamp so that at the next execution records are fetched after the last timestamp and no records are missed
    also i have some doubts over cursor if i am using cursors
    and records are getting inserted into the database from the records selected by the cursors does the records get inserted sequentially ie as per the timestamp
    or i have to use order by

    hey
    thanks for the reply even i felt so
    i don have much idea about how to do the automation
    using oracle
    can you just guide me with some links or material
    so that i can understand how it can be done
    or even the topics name would be fine because i have no clue where to start from
    also one more logical question i might sound silly but need to ask
    suppose i have billions of record with timestamp as one field
    now the records that i select for processing are selected by comparing the timestamp so i guess if all the records are compared with every record in the source than it will slow the process
    is there any way wherein if the processing is for suppose for
    march than the records are not compared with the previous months data
    will partitioning help
    if yes can i know where can i learn more about partitioning

  • Advice About Switching To Motion

    Hi all,
    Just wanted some advice, I'm coming from Adobe products like Premiere and After Effects and wanted to know if the Mac products were just as good and you can achieve everything you can in After Effects? If someone could let me know the best Mac packages to buy would be much appreciated...
    Cheers!

    I can't speak about Premiere Pro 2.0, the last version I used was 1.0. Let it also be said that I learned on FCP, so naturally, I'm going to prefer that. Although, Premiere does has a very similar interface, at least when compared to other NLEs like Avid or Vegas.
    I used Premiere 6.5 and Premiere Pro 1.0 on my personal PC before I switched over to Mac. 6.5 had numerous incompatbility problems with my hardware (liked to magically reboot my computer when playing back audio recorded at 32Khz). And it was a memory hog. Pro 1.0 was a pretty big upgrade, but still had stability and performance issues for me. On a comprable Mac, FCP was always more responsive and stable. Since I haven't used it in a while, I can't really compare the two feature-wise now.
    As far as choosing a motion graphics package, it's going to depend entirely on your needs. Motion, After Effects, and Shake are three very different programs with different feature lists and workflow capabilities. If I had to personally choose, I would go with After Effects over Motion because of its 3d compositing and camera features. I feel like more can be done with AE. What I really like about Motion, though, is how fast things can be accomplished. It feels more like a sandbox, where animations and effects can be quickly drawn up and played back at full speed (with the right hardware). I think AE has tends to have a little more overhead (pre-comping and RAM rendering is a pain).
    Shake is a wholly different beast than those other two. I really haven't had an opportunity to use it seriously, but Patrick would know more. From what I've seen it's really good at compositing elements together, creating mattes, doing motion tracking, keying, etc. It's more of a tool for live action footage and/or 3d footage. AE and Motion do a lot of that stuff, too, but also focus on 2d animation and motion graphics.
    EDIT: Just wanted to mention that Shake has a steep learning curve. The interface is not the most user friendly.

  • Advice about switching to the mba

    Only recently moved from windows to a mac and I'm ready to go MBA already!
    I need some advice about the new MBA though please... Usually I look for reviews, youtube vids etc but can't find anything about the new MBA.
    I read stories about problems with the old MBA and wanted to hear from people that have the new version.
    I'm particularly worried about the stories of overheating and non-stop fan noises, taking ages to reboot etc (have these been rectified with the new MBA?).
    I currently have the 2ghz and it's pretty fast, love how quickly it switches on and off and I'd hate to loose that.
    Also, the MBA would become my main laptop as I couldn't possibly afford to keep both! Obviously I realise the MBA is not as powerful as the MacBook or the Pro but I'm not a heavy user, only mail, internet, youtube, itunes, ical, Office for Mac, some basic photo editing and rarely some light video editing.
    I would really appreciate any insight from current new MBA users, I know things are quite subjective (ie: I think my MacBook overheats very quickly but maybe to others this would be the norm) so I wouldn't bite your head off!
    sorry if this is the wrong place to post this... I couldn't find a more relevant category.

    I bought the 2nd generation MBA (released last November). I purposely held off on buying the first generation because of the complaints about the overheating etc. I follow a lot of Mac forums and can tell you that any problems you heard about have been resolved.
    There are always a few people that have issues with their machine - not matter what generation it is - but I would recommend the new versions to anybody that wants one.
    Fan noise is very subjective. I use my MBA a for Audio Recording and production - so my fan comes on pretty fast on mine - as the software I use maxes out the processor right from the start. And here is the best way I can sum it up:
    If I take the MBA with fan on into a dead quiet room - yes - I can hear the fan - and to me it sounds like blowing air out of your mouth to cool down hot food....
    If I take that MBA with the fan on into the kitchen where the fridge is running - I cannot hear the MBA anymore. Or if the dishwasher is on, or the clothes dryer etc.....
    I can only hear it is a dead quiet recording room. Subjective as it may be - it's perfectly acceptable to me.
    I have almost never had to restart my MBA - usually only when a software update requires it - I just sleep my machine. OSX is rock solid. my MBA takes 27 seconds to load - every time. If i do need to shut down - it takes like 2 or 3 seconds.
    I paid top dollar for mine when it was released and even though I could get it for $1000 cheaper now - I don't regret the money I spent. The solid MBA build and solid OSX are worth a lot to me.
    If there's any more questions just post them and I'd be happy to answer.
