Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices???

Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices??  e.g. is it worthwhile for a standalone iMac??

There's a million places on the 'net where you can find opinons on that (have a look here, for example http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/08/01/os-x-lion-10-7-%E2%80%94-the-jurys-verdict / ) and at least several long running threads on this forum too dealing with various opinions.
As for me, I've reverted to Snow Leopard.

  • TS1389 I have done all the above but I still can't get Quicktime to play a HD movie I purchased on itunes.  I get error message "This computer could not be authorized to play [movie title]"

    I have looked extensively online but can't find an answer yet.
    I also tried playing the HD movie in VCL Media Player.  I select the movie in finder, right-click to Open With VCL. Window opens with Library menu on left and first item in the menu is Playlist.  HD movie is listed in the playlist.  I select Play and counter at bottom of window starts counting as if movie is playing but nothing else happens.
    Help greatly appreciated.

    Tried some more movies in my library and it seems that all movies purchased in the iTunes Stores UK with my iTunes UK account wont play in Quicktime (or VCL media player).  These movies will play in itunes.
    This is cleary a DRM issue but don't I have the same legal rights to play my movies regardless of which iTunes store I  purchased from?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that doesn't solve it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    . You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:

    I just purchased a new to me ibook g4. I have all the disks but they do not seem to work properly. When I restart holding the C key they just spit out of the drive. I wanted to reset everything back to factory and start over but no go. Most everything works anyway except my address book application. It seems to be missing. How can I download and reinstall a new address book App. Thanks, John

    The problem with accessing the content of the disks is the CD Drive does not seem to access them. It also has a heck of a time ejecting them. Other disks seem to read. The unit came with imovie disks and I can use them. The disks look perfectly good no scratches but they just don't work, I was hoping I could just get a online copy of the address book to replace the one that seems to be missing. Or find it somewhere on my drive. Have no clue where to look though.

    I lost my iPod touch, but someone was using it, the guy read all the imassage I sent to my iPod Touch. Right now, I cannot delieved imassage to my iPod touch anymore.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How do I get iMessage to activate, I have read through all the instructions but it still says activation unsuccessful?

    How do I get iMessage to activate, I have read through all the instructions but it still says activation unsuccessful?

    Are you using a supported carrier? Do you have a plan that permits text messaging?
    The iPhone uses a 'silent' SMS message exchange with Apple's servers in the UK to activate. If you are not using a supported carrier, and/or your account is not provisioned properly for an iPhone, the activation may not be able to complete.

  • Not able to Read All the Message in the Topic

    Hi Al,
    i am new to JMS. I have implemented publish-subscribe model. Topic as a destination.
    I want to read all the message available for particular topic. is there any way to get this?..
    like in the Queue, QueueBorrower used to read all available messages in the queue.
    Thanks
    Raj

    It depends on what you mean by "what messages are available on the topic".
    if you want to know what messages would be delivered to a new consumer on the topic, then you can simply create a consumer yourself. Each messages on a topic is delivered to all subscribers, so by creating a consumer yourself you won't be interfering with the delivery of messages to other consumers. (That's not possible with queues which is why the queue browser is provided).
    If you want to know what messages are "persisted in the topic" then there's not really such a concept. Messages sent to a topic are only persisted in individual durable subscriptions created for individual clients. If there are no durable subscriptions when messages are not persisted. The JMS APi doesn't provide a way to browse the messages saved in an individual durable subscription. It could, but it doesn't.

  • I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

    I have all the documents, but can't locate my discs - need iphoto and can't get without the original.

    If you buy used you have to be careful.  I am not sure what software came with which system versions and which computers but the iLife application history is complex.  If you end up looking for "original" discs such as those that came with your computer, make sure iPhoto was part of it, and make sure the discs you buy are really identical to the ones for your computer model.  A lot of people sell gray colored discs as installer discs, but the versions are machine specific so getting any old Tiger installer may not work on your computer.  Unfortunately the universal Tiger installer may not have iPhoto. Maybe somebody more familiar with the iPhoto history can provide specific advice.
    An alternative is to look for a used iLife series that will work on your computer.  Again, this will have to be used.  Apple's staying ahead of the curve basically means those of us with old machines are left to fend for ourselves as best we can.

  • GoldenGate : Why to read all the Redo or Archive, can't we skip ??

    Hi All,
    I have a big doubt if anyone can give clarity. The scenario is :- In my environment data is flowing from Oracle to Oracle but Huge transactions in Millions and we use this tool basically to improve LAG when we get data for reporting.
    Now let's say I have database user A which is doing some temporary transaction on source for couple of hours but it is HUGE and generating lot of archives AND we don't want to flow any data from the transaction being performed by user A - so we use EXCLUDEUSER A parameter.
    Now during same time if any other user say B is performing some operation in one table - we want it to flow, So it is flowing normally BUT the main problem is LAG increased like anything cause GoldenGate is now reading all the redo or archives which of no use and data is flowing very slowly :( :(
    My point was will it be also possible that I don't want my GoldenGate to read any redo log or archives if the user A is performing operation and read only those archives if user B or any other user is performing some operation. This will improve the LAG cause even though we ignore the particular user, It is still going to read all the redo or huge archives generated by user A or user B or whatever in sequence, Please correct me if I am wrong ?
    I suppose goldengate is going to read all the transaction regardless of A or B user. Only it will ignore the A and process transaction of B.
    I know it reads in sequence but can't it read specific archives which is useful instead of reading all.

    Hi Steven,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I agree with you that "normal" mode of GoldenGate is to capture changes and replicate them and Ofcourse I want it to capture any changes but I don't want it to pass through reading all the archives if I am ignoring one user who is performing HUGE temporary transaction and generating huge archives.
    It is going to slow down all the other small transaction changes cause it is passing through all those archives also which is of NO use. Do you mean that "Integrated mode" of new Goldengate version will work in that case ?
    Please help, I really need this information. It will help everyone.
