Question about using a USB modem
I'm about to get a new Macbook Pro (being shipped) and want to be prepared with a USB modem for travel/emergencies. I've read chatter about Snow Leopard presenting problems with it. Something about 64-bit v.s. 32-bit incompatibilities. Does anyone know if Apple has resolved this with support, even though they quit selling the modem? I understand it will work, but only if used with 32-bit or something.
Thanks.
I have no idea whether there is any reality to any of the rumours you may have heard, HalfATechie, but my own Apple USB Modem works fine on both my MBP 13" and my older 2007 MBP 15" , while running Snow Leopard in normal operating mode.
Don't worry, this is something you really don't need to be "afraid" of with your MBP.
Cheers
Rod

Question about using Macbook in Vietnam.
I have a question about using Macbook in Vietnam. I bought my mac here in the US, and I'm going to visit Vietnam, but I'm wondering if I can plug in the power directly into the wall or I have to need any convert power modem for my mac. The only thing I know that Vietnam use 220V so, can anyone help me?
You may need a plug adaptor, but you don't need a power converter.

Hi All
I have a quick question about grub and USB that I can't quite find the answer to by searching. Most of the FAQs discuss booting a full linux dristribution from USB. My situation is this. I am getting a new computer with two drives, the second will be arch and the first will be Vista (for my wife). I want the computer to boot the same way that my wife's machine boots at work so I don't want to install grub on the MBR. So, is there a way to have all of the grub config files and kernels installed on the second drive and simply install to grub boot loader to the MBR of a USB stick? My goal would be to simply plug the USB stick into the new PC and boot arch from the second drive.
Thanks
Kevi cant say for hp's
havent worked on any in a while
recent machines have been coupleof dell's , vaio & emachine
which dells do offer it at least the ones i tried , my laptop does(dell)
all home pc's are built by me which do offer to boot individual drives
what hp you getting it may tell in specs
are both discs sata? if so it might not offer this option with 2 drives of same interface
check your power supply alot of these preconfigured machines put cheap under reated power supplies in there
& will burn your motherboard i just replaced PS(250 watt) & mobo(845gvsr) in an emachines <cheap stuff<
i hope you researched the pc before buying ie : mobo, power supply are the biggest concerns
i find it much more benificial to build my own machine gives me peace at mind. the cost is sometimes more in $ but not always , your biggest expense is time researching hardware
if you live in usa the best places to start looking are bensbargains.net & pricewatch.com
i am not affiliated with either & niether sell the hardware they are just advertisers a place to buy
for costomized machines that i would trust is unitedmicro.com theyll asemble & test before shipping
i have gotten 2 machines so far from them with NO PROBLEMS with hardware (knock knock)
you may want to consider this in your next venture for pc -
I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school. Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom. The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?
Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

Question about using new battery in old Powerbook
I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
Current bad Battery Information below:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12387
Cycle Count: 281
thanks folks, ShereenHi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

Question about using TVARV in an ABAP program
Hello gurus, Im sorry about the silly question.
I have a question about using TVARV in an ABAP program.
A program is presenting a problem and I think that in this code:
SELECT SIGN OPTI LOW HIGH
FROM TVARV
INTO TABLE R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE
WHERE NAME = '1_163431035_VELOCIDADE'
AND TYPE = 'S'.
IF ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B IN R_1_163431035_VELOCIDADE AND
ZOPERADORAS-OPERADORA = 'ABCD' AND
ZMM001-MATERIAL IN R_1_163431035_PRODUTO.
ELSE.
ENDIF.
What happens is that the value "ZMM001-SPEED" B not exist in "R1_163431035_VELOCIDADE" but the program executes commands under the IF and not under the ELSE, as I imagine it would work. Is this correct ?
I am new to ABAP programming, but I have a lot of XP in other programming languages and this makes no sense to me.
Anyone know where I can find some documentation of the use of "TVARV" in ABAP programs?
I search the Internet if other programmers use TVARV this way, but found nothing, which leads me to think that was a quick and dirty solution that used here.
If this is a bad way to program, what would be the best way?
Regards
Ronaldo.Hi Ronaldo,
But in this case, the range is not empty, there are 17 records, in this way.:
For the column "SING" all values are "E"
It means that the result is false if ZMM001-VELOCIDADE_B has the same value as one of the 17 records (E = exclude).
For instance, if it has value 'C' and one of 17 records matches C, then the result is false.
The "IF" with "IN" using "TVARV" as used in the program of the post above has the same behavior of a selection screen?
Yes, the same behavior as the selection criterion to be exact. You can press the help key in the complex selection dialog for more info.
I know it's a silly and very basic question, but other language that I used, only the SQL has the "IN" operator, but I think they work in different ways, so I would like to understand how it works in ABAP.
Not silly ;-). Yes they work differently.

Question about Using PAPI Web Service in PowerBuilder 9
Hi, all.
I Have a simple question about using papiws in power builder 9.
In pb9, I created a new Web Service Proxy Wizard and I input a url for papiws(ex. http://seraphpernote:7001/papiws/PapiWebService) and click next.
But I couldn't get any Service List.
In Eclipse, I used this url for using papiws well.
Does anybody know about this case??
help me plz.IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.

Can't use my USB modem "HUAWEI model E156G" on my MACBook Pro
I'm new to MAC (I used to be a windows user) and I'm a little bit frustrated for not being able to use my USB modem "Huawie E156G" for connecting my new MacBook Pro!
I followed these steps:
Got the USB modem drivers found on Huawei site that should support my USB modem model. there were 2 drivers, one for "Intel" and another one for "PowerPC" platforms
First, I installed the "Intel" version succesfully. According to the steps, I tried to run the installed driver, but I got the following message:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
I repeated the installation procedure using the "PowerPC" version that finished succesfully (without removing the previous installed driver because dont know how to do that). I got the same message when running the driver application:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
It would be much appreciated if anyone can help me
Note: my MAC OS is MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), Processor Intel Core I5

Question about using 10g/11g and APEX ...
Hi,
I just recently learned of Oracle's APEX and have a few questions about using it.
Can I use APEX with express, standard, and enterprise editions of 10g and 11g?
Are all of these free to use?You might want to read about APEX rather than jumping into questions that are reasonably well documented. Info at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
Your specific questions:
1) Apex is a package that can be installed into any properly licensed database.
2) The price for the production license of the database varies by edition.
The price for Express Edition is $0 for use in production. Part of the cost for that edition is 'no Oracle Support based support, no patches, data volume limitation, etc.' -
Question about using Runtime.getRuntime();
hi all
i have a question about using Runtime.getRuntime(). if i use this to get a runtime reference to run an external program, is it considered as starting a new thread inside the thread that starts it?
is it safe to do it in the Session EJB? if not, what can you recommand to do it? thankshi all
i have a question about using Runtime.getRuntime().
if i use this to get a runtime reference to run an
external program, is it considered as starting a new
thread inside the thread that starts it? No. Starting a process, starts a process. Threads have nothing to do with it.
is it safe to do it in the Session EJB? if not, what
can you recommand to do it? thanksSo what? Run another process? If you want to run another process in java then your choices are to use Runtime.exec() or use JNI. And using JNI will probably end up doing exactly the same thing as Runtime.exec().
"Safe" is harder. Typically to correctly use Runtime.exec() you must use threads. And as noted threads ideally should not be used. You can use them but if you do you had better understand why they didn't want you using them in the first place. You had also better be sure that you really want to wait for it to complete.
Other than that Runtime.exec() is safe because it can't crash the VM like other interfaces can (like JNI.) -
Cant load half of the FB apps using my usb modem
What would possibly cause a USB modem to cause half of the Facebook apps to no longer to load as of ten days ago.
1) It is NOT my computer.
-I used my laptop under 4 different internet connection and had no problem accessing all my FB apps
2) It is NOT Facebook
-I have no problem using any of the facebook apps when NOT using my usb modem.
3) It's THE usb modem
-I used the same usb modem on my other laptop that has VWAcess Manager and got the same results of not abling to gain access to half of my facebook apps.
4)The current USB Modem I am using is Pantech UM150-AL and been using it for 4 years
I eliminated many many possibiltiies and can only conclude its the USB Modem, but I cant see how the heck it's doing it. Any help on this will be grateful.Apps crashing

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.
