Quick (and urgent) Question about Intel G5's

Just a quick question about the new intel G5's.
I currently have bunch of software for my PPC G5 which is a Dual 2ghz. Software includes Adobe CS2, Macromedia Studio, Quark 6, etc, etc.
If I purchase the new intel mac, would I be able to use the same software? or would I be forced to purchase a whole new set of everything I currently have?
If the software will work on the intel G5, would it perform at the same rate/better than how it performs now on my PPC g5?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Rosetta:
Most of the time you get a real 'hit' when a program first opens that is PPC. Very sluggish. They will require and use more memory than otherwise, too.
Tests from last August aren't as helpful, there have been improvements, letting the Mac Pro pull even further ahead.

Comparison Mac Models shows scores of all models. So there is 2x as much or more processing power, bandwidth, better video, as well as disk drives. A 'base' configuration would be 4-6GB RAM.
And there are differences, more than between G4 and G5.
People with experience would be Mac Pro Discussions
Don't use Migration Assistant, and upgrade to CS3 etc. reinstall all your applications fresh.
There are some drivers and plug-ins, that can be problems, and known.

A Quick and EZ question about Symbols

Hi everyone! I have a really quick question:
I'm making a cartoon movie at 30 fps. I've split up my
cartoon character's body parts and I've made them into graphic
symbols. I want the symbols to be as efficient and "right sized" as
possible. So, as far as playback is concerned, what would you
suggest I do:
Make 1 symbol with 5 layers and 50 frames... (to be used by
itself)
OR
Make 5 symbols with 1 layer and 50 frames?? (to be used all
at once)
Hopefully, my question is not too confusing. I'm basically
asking what's better to do: use one large symbol by itself or many
smaller symbols at once.
It's important to me because eventually i could have all 7 of
my cartoon characters on stage at once which would mean using 7
large sized symbols at once or 35 smaller symbols at once
The symbols are all mostly graphic symbols. And, when i'm
done, my library will be containing hundreds of symbols.
Note: I'll be converting the movie to video format so
internet loading time isn't so much my concern as is general
playback and avoiding "slowdown". I want to avoid lag at all costs.
Thank you for the feedback in advance!!! :)

I really don't understand 100% what you are asking - when you
say "large" what do you mean? file
size or scale? And why would it matter? And what does "at
once" mean? On the timeline at the same
time? If so...why is that an issue?
What do you want to do?
If you are exporting to video then the issue of "slowdown and
lag" is off the table as video is a
fixed-frame rate format.

Quick and easy question about creating folder

Total Mac newbie with basic question.
I want to put all my user manuals right on my desktop. All in a folder called user manuals. How would I do this? Smart folder? Just drag 'n drop? how can I quickly find them all?
Thanks in advance!

Hi MarieBoyer
You can easily create a Folder on the desktop, by mouse click + contol to open the contextual menu, where you can choose New Folder, then give it a name.
Or, more easily still just drag one of the existing folders onto the desktop and use it.
As for finding all manual documents, they are just documents in general, and may not even have the word manual in their name, so searching by that criteria will in that case miss them. Otherwise you may have to search by each of their names, which would be rather tedious.
So I suggest, of the manuals that you know of or come across, drag them into your new Folder on the desktop as you find them.

A quick and simple question about MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum

I want to overclock my 3500+ but when I go like to 2.4GHZ, the computer isn't stable and sometimes even corrupt some of my Windows files.
My HTT is alright so my mobo stays around 800MHZ
My memory is at 166MHZ so it doesn't go too high
My Vcore is 1.4v but this overclock is so minimal it doesn't cause a problem
Last thing.... AGP and PCI Locks
AGP, no problem, it is locked to 66MHZ, but what about PCI?
I downloaded CoreGen and when I increased the HTT, AGP stood at 66, but PCI increased with it.
Some told me that when you lock AGP to 66, it will also lock PCI, well I have to say that it ain't true 'cause I experienced it myself.
Why isn't PCI Clock not in the motherboard, or is it? and any other motherboard have it???

Never mind, I just noticed I had to put the AGP to 67MHZ to lock both, BUT, I think my comp just sucks in overclocking.....
I set it to 2400MHZ
220x11 with memory at 183MHZ using A64Tweaker so that make my memory set to right on 200MHZ.
My motherboard is set to 880MHZ (800MHZ Origin) so I set HTT to 3 to make 660MHZ and still doesn't work.
When I say it doesn't work it is because my PC doesn't pass Super PI test, it freezes completly after the first LOOP but if I do not run Super PI, the PC won't crash. Is it a Super PI problem or what?

A quick and easy question about my NEW Ipod Touch.

Okay, I broke down and replaced my old ipod. This new one came with earphones, a cord to connect it to my computer and a little plastic piece that obviously fits on one end of the ipod. Here's my question: WHAT IS IT FOR?
Thanks in advance!
Annie

It's a dock adaptor. There are some devices (eg. speaker systems) which have a slot that fits the 30-pin dock connector for iPods, but the slot is the same size as the iPod Classic, as it is the largest iPod that is compatible with such systems. The dock adaptor that came with your iPod is supposed to fit around the base of your iPod and prevent it from being bent forwards or backwards, as this can damage or even break the dock connector.

Ok. quick and easy question about my Zen Vision

i'm thinking that my zen can no longer have anything added to it, although there is about 5 gbs worth of space left. it sucks has sucked for a while, but i'm trying to get over it.
my brother noticed that in the bottom of it, the part where it connects so you can make transfers and stuff, is bent. i tried unbending it but that didn't work.
and when i connect it to my comp, it says "overload" and my comp freezes for a bit.
so that's a sign to get another mp3 player right? it's a shame that this happened. he thinks i was too rough with it.
i admit that i have spent some time pushing it in when it wasn't properly fitting. but i didn't "see" it then. now looking back, i kinda laugh.
btw, there are no shops around here to repair the bend to the best of my knowledge..actually, maybe Weiss Hardware...just maybe.

Yes. LOL You word it so much nicer!
lol...
if customer support actually does help, for a nice price, you will be -my new saviour-!
(My music is literally my life.)
OK. I checked there. They have an option of support (while the warranty is still good) and another option (that's non-technical).
I got my first Zen Vision (30 GB) March 2007. Then a replacement (this one) in May 2007. Is it still covered? I have my doubts. :P?

Very quick and simple question about a simple sum going wrong.

Ive noticed that im having lots of ocurrences where my maths goes wrong - usually i trace this to ints multiplying doubles and stuff , or its in degrees not radians .
But this one is too simple to seem to cause problems :
screenY = 180 + ( 420 - (( 420 / 2200 ) * xE ) );
heres the code line which does the calculation, and for a particular loop it
ran as xE = 223 .
xE is an int by the way.
For some reason this code always produces screenY = 600 ,
which should only be the case if xE = 0 .
any suggestions as to how i should help the VM get it right?
thanks in advance guys.

xE is an int by the way.
For some reason this code always produces screenY =
600 ,
which should only be the case if xE = 0 .It happens because in integer division 420/2200 is always equal to zero. So, regardless of the value of xE, you're adding 420 + 180, which is 600.
any suggestions as to how i should help the VM get it right? Yes:
double value = 180.0 + (420.0 - ((420.0/ 2200.0)*xE));
screenY = (int)value;You can simplify all this, of course. Why not do that 420/2200 = 0.19090909... calculation once and just substitute the constant value?

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

Urgent Question about System Center Server Names and Dashes

Hey guys I have a quick Urgent question that would be awesome if it happens to get answered quickly :).
So in the past we had problems with different server names in components of System Center when setting up different servers.... I never myself saw the errors or what it did, but an absentee colleague did. For example is anything wrong with a name setup like
xx-scom-01 / xx-scom-02 as compared to the standard scom01 scom02? We have a certain naming convention we are moving to and I wanted to see if this was fixed. I wanted to say it had something to do with the hyphens... anyways any foresight anyone can
provide would be awesome. Thanks!

Dashes in the name will work fine.

Urgent - Question about logging and debugging.

Hi,
I have a question about the logging and debugging supported by
Weblogic 6.0. From what I understood by reading the documentation
it has classes e.g. NotCatalogLogger class for logging the information.
The class has one method callded
debug() for writing the debugging information. I want to log the
debug messages only in some situation. Can I control this using
some property? Because the documentation says that the debug information
is logged only if application is running in debug mode. Now how
do I change the mode of an application??
Thanks and Reagrds,
Manoj

Question about Intel iMacs

I'm thinking about upgrading from my 20" G5 iMac to a new 24" 2.8 iMac and was curious about a few games. I'm not a big gamer by any means, but do enjoy Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. Both of these are PowerPC based. I assume I will need to repurchase these as Universal?

As mediocre as the imac is for games, you would want an Intel version of any game for sure - at least for any demanding game. It all depends on how taxing the game is on the computer. I'd look for some forums that are specific to your games and ask other gamers with similar computers because each game is very unique in its requirements. After 200 days of accumulated WoW playing, I can say I am no longer a gamer .

URGENT: Question about User_Exit

Hello All,
I have a question about user_exit. Does it share the same transaction context as the calling form??
If it does, how to implement the same thing in Java.
Any help or material available somewhere?
TIA
Naveen

Naveen
Actually what we are doing is converting Oracle Forms code into java code and i cannot open and change the code that is being called by the User_Exit built-in.
So i want to know is how i can still keep the same functionality, without changing the Pro*C code into java, or some other native code.Since what you have in hand is an user exit I dont think you can use it straight away from Java Forms unless you do not have any Form specific things.
In User exits we can do thigns like getting and putting values from/to oracle forms items and there are also provision to pass error and other related information between the forms and user exits.
this is actually accomplished by having some internal API's ( these are invoked by the user_exit builtin in Forms) in Oracle Forms. And this is predefined and there is nothing much to know how this functionality works. And Oracle itself does not support User exits( if there is any interaction with Form) in Oracle Web Forms. And user exit has many Oracle specific libraries linked to it during compilation.
Knowing this you should first know whether your user exit is Oracle Forms Dependent. If it is I think you dont have much options than rewriting your user exit.
On the other hand if it does not , then I think you can easily get rid of the error and other handling information( if present in the user exit )and recompile it as a standalone Pro*C executable and the call it natively since it is noting but a C program in the compiled state.
OK but regarding the connection you have to go back to Java and ask whether there is way to pass a conection context to a native C program( dont mention Proc or Oracle Forms here)
So start finding whether your exit is Oracle Forms dependent. If not you can take it easy except for the connection thing which I am not . But if it is dependent then I think u have to start rewriting.
Good Luck

TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

Hi there,
I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
But i need help with "playlist" :
// Get the tracks from the processor
TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...
That's all ;)
Thanks !
Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...
