Question about 2010 MBA 2GB

Looking at picking up a used one for $700.  Little nervous about the 2GB of RAM.  I am going to be using it for Office/Pages/Keynote email, web, and maybe watch a movie every now and then.  Is the 2GB going to be a problem?

Last year I had ocassion to use Lion with a 2GB iMac along with Office 2011 and a few other programs preparing for the upgrade at work. That testing convinced me that we needed more RAM but that was a computer with a conventional drive. The MacBook Air with its SSD uses virtual RAM much more effectively. In many ways the Air feels like a conventional computer with twice as much memory. The 2GB Air should work for the purposes you describe.

  • Three questions about the MBA...

    Hiya,
    Here's my first question: What is the resolution on the iSight camera that's built into the MBA? Is it the same as the ones on the other MacBooks, or is it different? I was reading AppleInsider's review of the MBA and they say that the MBA uses "a similarly lower end video camera" that seems to have a lower resolution than the 1.3 megapixel iSight cameras on the other MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Also, Apple's own specs for the MBA doesn't say specifically what the resolution is for it. But AppleInsider is claiming that pictures taken with the MBA's iSight camera are "visibly softer" and don't work in Photo Booth for some reason. :S (If you'd like to see the AppleInsider review I was looking at, here it is: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/02/04/macbookair_hdd_model_an_in_depthreview.html. Please go to page 5 of this review to see what AppleInsider is talking about with the iSight camera--it's pretty much the first thing they address on that page.)
    Also: Is it true that it's not possible to turn off the wi-fi on the MBA? I was doing some window shopping at a Micro Center in my neighborhood and happened to talk about the MBA with some salespeople in the (Windows) laptop department, and they claimed that the wi-fi on it couldn't be turned off. Or, rather, they said that there was no visible, physical wi-fi button on the MBA, so they took that to mean that there was no way to turn the wi-fi off at all. Personally, I find this really hard to believe--surely there's some internal system preference that allows someone to turn off the wi-fi because it's obviously not going to be needed all the time?--but I want to hear from MBA owners here and see what you guys have to say about this.
    And finally...assuming the wi-fi can be turned off, how many hours the MBA run? I haven't seen anyone answer this question yet, and I'd really like to know because I don't think I'll be using an MBA with the wi-fi always on.

    LOL! I figured as much. I figured that the MBA's like my iPod touch and the wi-fi controls are in the system preferences somewhere. But yeah...those salesmen at MicroCenter were really digging into the MBA as they struggled to turn off some security controls that they'd tripped in their own department and had to talk loudly over their security alarms. To be fair, some of what they said is true:
    --for the kind of money you'll have to pony up for even the cheaper MBA model, you can easily get a lot more laptop for the money. Of course, these (Windows) laptop salesmen weren't going to name any MacBooks that were in a different department in the store, but they started naming Sony Vaio's and such.
    --there's no built-in optical drive. (Well, DUH. I thought this was understood? And to be fair, a lot of ultraportables don't have optical drives either, right? So this is nothing new.)
    --the MBA is underpowered. And...yeah, I suppose that's true if you want to compare the MBA to other MacBooks or some other laptops in general. But if we compare the MBA to ultraportables or other slim/light notebooks, the MBA is still more powerful than them, isn't it? And speaking in terms of what I already have (a 5-year-old HP laptop running Windows XP), I'm sure that the MBA is more powerful and it's gonna run faster than this computer that I'm already using.
    And then those salesmen just had to throw in the wi-fi comment. I went "Uh-huh" and walked out and let them keep talking and figure out how to turn off their security alarms. I'm not sure what these salesmen actually know about computers, but one thing was clear to me as I walked out of their department--they're willing to say just about anything to get a sale. I'd hate to think what they would tell me if I was honestly shopping around for one of their Windows laptops--I'd hate to hear the kind of trash they might tell me to make me buy a laptop and/or other products for it. :S

  • The question about the sharepoint server 2010 install

    Hi Friends,
    i have a question about the sharepoint server 2010 install. 
    my computer is used the windows server 2008 service pack 1. in order to install the sharepoint 2010 server, i need to choose to windows server 2008 service pack 2. my question is when i install the windows server 2008 service pack 2,whether the inside
    of my computer  information will be lost or change? 
    thank you in advance. 
    Qearl

    Hi ,
    No data will be lost either from your Windows program files or other drives as long as it is an upgrade.
    After upgrade you will still be able to see your old program files under windows.ol folder in the C: Drive of the new OS.
    The data will be lost only when you perform a clean install like complete formatting the HArd disk and installing from scratch.
    As mentioned it always good to maintain a backup preferable important files in a skydrive as there is a good chance of external drives crashing.

  • Questions about upgrading from Exchange 2010 RTM to Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3

    I am preparing to perform an maintenance upgrade on our current Exchange 2010 Server, to Service Pack 3 (and any post-SP3 roll ups), but I have a couple questions about the process.
    Current Exchange Server details:
    Exchange 2010 Standard
    Version: 14.0 (Build 639.21) - from Exchange Management Console
    Version: 14.0.702.4000 - from Outook client
    Active Directory forest and domain levels: Windows 2008 R2 native
    The questions I have are:
    1.  Can I assume that because it's version 10.0.702.4000 I am on Exchange Server 2010 RTM Update Rollup 4?
    2.  Can Exchange 2010 Standard RTM be patched directly to Service Pack 3, or would I need to perform incremental patches (i.e. SP1, SP2, etc.) before going to SP3?
    3.  Do I need to manually perform the AD domain schema prep before applying Service Pack 3, or will the Service Pack 3 update process automatically handle the modifications of the AD schema?

    Hi,
    Here are my answers you can refer to:
    1. Firstly, I’d like to explain , we can use connection status to check our Exchange server version from Outlook client:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/determine-the-version-of-microsoft-exchange-server-my-account-connects-to-HA010117038.aspx
    And I check my version from both EMC and Outlook client. It’s same.
    2. We can directly update RTM version to SP3 , and the update will take an additional 30 minutes or longer per database.
    3. Since Exchange 2010 SP3 makes updates to the Active Directory schema, we need prepare AD domain schema. However, it will automatically prepare AD and the domain when you install the update.
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965774(v=exchg.141).aspx

  • Questions about using Bitlocker without TPM

    We currently use Bitlocker to encrypt our Windows 7 computers with TPM. Now we are looking at encrypting some Windows 7 computers without a TPM. I see how to change the group policy setting to allow Bitlocker without a TPM. I have looked at a lot of other
    threads and I have a few questions about how the Bitlocker without TPM works.
    1) I see a USB drive containing a key is required for Bitlocker configurations without a TPM, say the end user loses this USB drive, what are the recovery options for their computer? 
    This article seems to indicate that without the USB drive connected, you are unable to even access recovery options http://blogs.technet.com/b/hugofe/archive/2010/10/29/bitlocker-without-tpm.aspx
    We have recovery backed up to AD when Bitlocker is enabled, but how could we do this recovery on a computer on computer where it's USB is lost? Would we have to remove the HD itself and attach it to another computer to access?
    2) After enabling Bitlocker on a computer without a TPM and using the USB Drive for the key, is there a way to also add a PIN or password protection at bootup?

    Hi,
    Sorry for my dilatory reply, 
    Configuring a startup key is another method to enable a higher level of security with the TPM. The startup key is a key stored on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive must be inserted every time the computer starts. The startup key is used to provide
    another factor of authentication in conjunction with TPM authentication. To use a USB flash drive as a startup key, the USB flash drive must be formatted by using the NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system.
    You must have a startup key to use BitLocker on a non-TPM computer.
    From: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ee449438(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Key
    For more Q&A about BitLocker, you can refer to the link above.
    hope this is helpful.

  • Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

    I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
    #1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
    #2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
    #3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
    #4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
    #5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
    Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

    I do not know if it is the same model number, but this one will work in your MBP:

    2. I want to replace the HD with a 128GB SSD 840. When I replace these drives, will my OS still be in tact? I have never done this job before.
    No. You will have to format the drives in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then install the OSX by using the original install disks.
    3.) I want to replace the ram sticks to max capacity. This is 2 2GB sticks, Correct?
    No.  An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications:  200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    4.) Most difficult...
    I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
    Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
    Cannot help you there.
    5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
    You are not obligated to use iTunes.
    6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
    All MBPs have back lighted keyboards.  Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.

  • Question about Video Cards on Laptops

     Hi everyone, and sorry if I post this in the wrong area. I own a few computers, some are consider ancient and others are somewhat old but can run Windows XP just fine. I have a question about the computers in the stores today.
    I am looking to invest in a new laptop, possibly a desktop in the near future depending on my budget. The question I have about video cards today is that, I enjoy a good MMO game now and then, I don't expect to play heavy intensive games, just maybe some more advance games. I notice that for one game that I want to play, it requires a video card to have (Shadow Rendering, Vertex and Pixle Shaders). Do the computers today have those as standard for thier video card? Or do I have to invest in a little bit more expensive laptop/desktop. I am willing to invest money for some more RAM, if I need to improve its preformance. The reason I ask is because I have a 4 year old Laptop with a broken keyboard, and I was thinking about just replacing the laptop with a newer one. it has some pretty good specs and runs everything fine, but it can not play certain games because of those missing video requirements. (Current laptop incase someone is curious: 1.5Ghz Celeron M, 1GB memory 64MB video (Shared) ) Thanks to anyone who has the answer to this question. (P.S sorry if everything is scrunched together. for some reason the formatting is wierd on Opera web browser

    Graphics cards have all those standard today... or at least they should unless you get a really cheap Graphics card. The kind of graphics card and processor and other specs of the computer you want to get should depend on what you want to do with it. It also depends on the kind of games you want to play. If you're playing FPS [first person shooter] then you need a really good graphics card and processor. If you're playing something like Diablo 2 or something that's on the lower end of graphics then you just need decent specs. Graphics cards, I suggest something with aGeForce Nividia card... as of today, they are in the 9 series for high-end cards I believe. For processors... get something like Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 or T9600 or the Core 2 Quatros or Extremes. Extremes are intended for hardcore gaming and would be more expensive. For RAM you should have at least 2GB... you can always upgrade that later.
    For laptops my suggestions are:
    $3k+ get a customized alienware
    $2-3 get a customized dell xps, or macbook pro [although if you're gaming i would suggest you dual boot with windows xp or vista]
    $1-2k get a cheaper customized dell, or sony vaio
    under $1k... well I don't know what to say... you can't really get a nice gaming computer for under that price.
    I personally DO NOT like HP computers at all because they are so quirky and have so many problems and break down easily.

  • Basic Questions about PLD

    Hi,
    I have three general questions about using print layouts.
    1) How to select different layouts depending on the business case (not dependent on the BP):
    When I want to print an invoice NOT using the default layout, how can I quickly choose another layout? Just selecting one layout of the list and clicking the Ok button didn't have any effect. Do I first have to change the default layout before I can print the invoice in this other layout???
    2) In our old computer system, we have a lot of terms that can optionally be added to the invoice depending on each business case. I wonder if I have to create different layouts for all the combinations of terms that might occur or if there is any other possibility of working with text modules?
    3) Is it possible to add any sentences manually to the print document without changing the print layout?
    And last but not least, where can I find PLD manuals?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Corinna

    Hi,
    1) How to select different layouts depending on the business case (not dependent on the BP):
    Answer : Yes, you do  first have to change the default layout before printing.
    2) In our old computer system, we have a lot of terms that can optionally be added to the invoice depending on each business case. I wonder if I have to create different layouts for all the combinations of terms that might occur or if there is any other possibility of working with text modules?
    Answer: I would think that is the easiest option for PLD.
    Otherwise, if you have Crystal Report and also Crystal Report Add On installed, then you can create your layout in Crystal report.
    Note that if you are using SAP 2007, you can only print them as report, not within the specific screen, example, go to invoice and print the report created.
    However, in SAP 8.8, this facility is available.
    3) Is it possible to add any sentences manually to the print document without changing the print layout?
    Answer, No, not with PLD.
    4) where can I find PLD manuals?
    When you logon on SAP Business one portal, click on "Document Resource Center" and there are heaps of documents there including PLD.

  • A question about foreign key to multiple tables

    Hello everybody,
    I have a question about creating foreign key and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. Here are my tables:
    CREATE TABLE TEAM1(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM1 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM1 PRIMARY KEY(team_id);
    CREATE TABLE TEAM2(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM2 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM2 PRIMARY KEY(team_id);although the structure of both the tables is exactly the same, the values (in particular team_id) in both tables are different.
    Also I have another table named AGENT
    CREATE TABLE AGENT(agent_id VARCHAR2(20), team_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT PK_AGENT PRIMARY KEY(agent_id)Now the problem is that the column team_id in AGENT table is actually a foreign key, but the value can be in either TEAM1 or TEAM2. As far as I know a foreign key points only to one table.
    How can I deal with this problem? Whenever there is an INSERT or UPDATE I have to make sure that the value of the column "team_id" in the table "AGENT" is a valid value either in "TEAM1" or "TEAM2"
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Dariyoosh

    Do you have the ability to change the data model? If so a more appropriate structure may be something like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEAM(team_id VARCHAR2(20), team_name VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM PRIMARY KEY(team_id);
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT UK_TEAM UNIQUE (team_name);
    CREATE TABLE TEAM_PROJECT(team_id VARCHAR2(20), project_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE TEAM ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TEAM_PROJECT PRIMARY KEY(team_id, project_id);
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT FK_TEAM_PROJECT1 FOREIGN KEY (team_id) REFERENCES TEAM(team_id);
    CREATE TABLE AGENT(agent_id VARCHAR2(20), team_id VARCHAR2(20));
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT PK_AGENT PRIMARY KEY(agent_id);
    ALTER TABLE AGENT ADD CONSTRAINT FK_TEAM FOREIGN KEY (team_id) REFERENCES TEAM(team_id);Edited by: Centinul on Jun 25, 2010 10:50 AM

  • A question about BC 400 training program

    Dear all,
    I have a question about SAP taining program for ABAP. My manager will soon register me for the training program BC 400, which seems to be the start point for those who don't know anything about ABAP. I was looking at the course description page and I saw that the course is provided as VLC (Virtual Class). As I understood is that the student connects from his workstation to the training center, so it is distant training program.
    I think it would be more interesting for me to be directly in the classroom with teacher face-to-face.
    Therefore, my qestion is the fact that a training program is VLC, does it mean that it is no more possible to attend directly in classes ? or is just for those who may not want for some reason attend directly to the class?
    Thanks in advance,

    I have a question about SharePoint 2013 licensing. We are at the moment using SPS 2010, for 2015 we are going to use SharePoint 2013. We licensed SharePoint 2010 with enterprise CALs and we feel that most of its features are not being used by us. The only
    thing that we use is publishing InfoPath forms to form libraries within SharePoint, do we need to have Full enterprise license to use this feature? Or would the standard CAL suffice to do this function. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    InfoPath Forms services is an Enterprise license feature.  Anyone using InfoPath forms will need an Enterprise cal in 2013.

  • Question about /usr/local/bin in Mavericks ...

    I just did a clean install of Mavericks on a 2010 MacPro. I understand Mavericks does not replicate this path (/usr/local/bin) when doing a clean install. Prior to this I was running 10.7.xx and I had a few compiled binaries installed in the bin folder. How do I address this? Can I simply recreate the path manually without risk?
    Thanks.

    So why would you expect /usr/local/bin to be there? If you install custom, low-level software like this on one system, it will not get migrated to the new system.
    As I stated in my original post I did not expect it to be there. All I'm asking is how do I adreess the issue? Do I recreate it manually without any risk of screwing something up?
