And, if you have the two connected via Firewire and Target Disk Mode you can perform the migration through the Setup Assistant that will appear when you turn on the new computer for the first time. This is the simplest procedure.
In any case you can migrate your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and preferences.

Replacing vectors with better collection

Hi,
My Netbeans IDE is giving me a hint that vectors (which I am using to build custom table models from AbstractTableModel) are obsolete.
What should I replace vectors with, or what collection should I use to build custom table models, any example will be appreciated.
Thanks

Use ArrayList instead of Vector.
However, interaction with legacy GUI APIs is one commons place where you have to use Vector. I'm not sure if AbstractTableModel falls into that category, but you can find out easily enough.Unlike DefaultTableModel, AbstractTableModel makes no assumptions about how the data must be stored. That is why it is useful. It can be used to adapt other data structures to TableModel without the need to copy the data.

MBP replaced with MBP C2D?

I have a MBP which I purchased back in Feb. Since then I've had to get it replaced twice for different reasons. I know that now Apple is doing something about the "whine" on the MBP. If I take it in to my local Apple store do you think that they would
1) replace it with a MBP C2D
2) replace it with a refurbished MBP
3) send it in for repairs
Any of those situations would be fine, but I was wondering if someone had a similar situation and what the outcome was.
Thanks
Andy

I had the same "whine" issue, and if they have not addressed it yet, they will take it and send it in to have the Main Logic Board replaced. That should cure the whine. If it does not cure it, they may try to send it back again for repairs, and if it gets to be "unfixable" they will replace it with a C2D since they no longer make the CD.

My IPhone 5 broke, what phone will they replace it with?

My Phone 5 broke (screen, no fault of my own) anyway, I rung Apple and went through everything I had to and tried resetting it however it still kept going white, anyway, I'm going to visit the apple store Tuesday, where the man said they will replace my phone..
I have an Iphone 5 and I know they don't make them anymore only the 5S and 5C, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows what they will replace it with, wherever or not they will give me another iphone 5 or a 5S/ 5C (I hate the look of the 5C's)
thanks in advance :)

With another iPhone 5 exactly as yours .Apple will have service stocks to cover many years .

Mac Pro 3,1 - did my hard drive die? And what should I replace it with?

Hi,
I inherited my late husband's 2008 Mac Pro (3,1 model) which had 2 x 500GB hard drives in it and 6GB of RAM. I filled the remaining hard drive bays with 1TB drives (I take a lot of video so needed the extra space). The boot drive was partitioned 50/50 in Boot Camp. I've upgraded the RAM to 10GB and I am currently running Lion.
Today, while doing something as innocuous as scrolling down a web page, the bottom half of my screen went black and the top half began flashing wildly. When it stopped after several seconds, the mouse would not respond and I could not click on anything. If flashed a bit more, and then I had mouse control back but could not click on anything - web links, applications, finder. After waiting patiently but getting nowhere, I powered the machine down manually, and when I re-started it, it failed to boot. The chime sounded, the apple appeared, and the little revolving wheel, but at the point where the screen would normally go blue then display the desktop, it just went white. The fans spin, but otherwise it's very silent.
I tested with a second display, got the same issue. I tried booting to recovery mode but it went back to the white screen. I could start in target mode, and there were no issues with flickering screen, so I don't think it's the graphics card. Then I tried browsing to the hard drive over the network, but it wasn't showing on the PC network page, nor could I connect to it via the home theater system, which I can normally do as the streaming app launches on start-up. I am assuming this means the drive has failed? It's the original, and we bought the machine when they were new to the market, so is a good 5 years old. It contains not only the boot drive but my documents, photos, websites, selected videos, all of which are backed up on the Time Capsule, and I was in the process of uploading to cloud backup as well (although not very far along, due to data cap and slow international upload speeds). I had no warning it was about to do this, but then I guess sometimes you don't!
Assuming I need to replace the drive, would it be worth replacing it with an OWC Mercury Electra 480GB SSD in an Icy Dock sled? Or would that be overkill for such an old machine? Would getting a standard 7200 WD Caviar HDD or similar give me enough of a speed boost? Obviously I am rather enamoured with the idea of a blazing fast SSD but I'd have to import it (not available locally) so I don't want to shell out all that money unless it's really going to make a massive difference.
Is there anything else I would need to know about using an SSD over a HDD? I assume I would fire it up the normal way - install it, boot from my Snow Leopard install disc (I downloaded Lion from the App Store) format it, clean install SL, then re-update to Lion, then restore my Time Machine backup? Am I likely to experience any weird issues due to it being an SSD? I see talk online of firmware problems and something called TRIM that I don't know anything about. If it's most likely that I can install it and rock on as normal, then I'm pretty keen, but if there's a reasonable probability of it being temperamental, I probably wouldn't be willing to deal with that (and therefore go the HDD route instead). Therefore I am very keen to hear people's opinions and experiences.
Sorry for the terribly long ramble. The more I have researched this, the more questions it raises! All advice gratefully accepted. Thanks!

more than likely it is your video card. If it is ATI 2600XT, tell it bye-bye. The card is barely used at all in TDM or Safe Boot Mode. The 2600 and Lion and the issues with that card, even if it seems okay, is not.
Depending on Windows OS as to how it mounts and sees your Lion HFSX (there is a nice HFSX driver from Paragon, and an NTFS driver for Lion too)
480GB SSD is overkill for any system unless you are pushing CS6 2-3GB images and then for scratch. All you need for a boot drive is about 100GB.
If you have an SSD now, then 1) you need to do a full image backup and restore (regularly as maintenance), and 2) TRIM Enabler
Save Lion and you can always do a clean Lion install w/o going back to SL - but you might want to keep SL (dual boot) and handy if you run into anything you still need that required PowerPC/Rosetta
FBDIMM RAM dies, Amazon has $32 kits of 4GB. And having all 8 DIMM slots filled improves things. If you need or want to and feel 16GB isn't overkill.
SSD and issues are always possible. you should not just go along. not without a clone image. And you should have another drive w/ TRIM Enabler so that you can do a repair and "trim" what is needed.
Clone a system with CCC regularly. Bootable. And can also be used by Setup Assistant.
Install Lion over a heavily used SL system and there are likely remnants of old things that get in the way and left in there and not removed.

HT3910 Original OSX 10.5.6 and app dvd's (that came w/MBP) lost,and have recv'd replacement dvd from Apple. Once hard drive is erased and new OS w/dvd instl'd, how do I insure all applications bundle - that came with MBP - will reinstall?

Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.

How is your iPhone's display different?
You can check the model number by going to Settings/General/About. These are the model numbers for the various 3 GS models;
MB715LL/A (16 GB Black), MB716LL/A (16 GB White), MB717LL/A (32 GB Black), MB718LL/A (32 GB White), MC555LL/A (8GB)

Can I replace CUA with CUP. If not why or what will be the risks

Hi,
The client does not want to have two provisioning systems CUP & CUA. The sole purpose they are using CUA is the proper accounting for SAP licenses such that the user ID remains the same across the landscape. No other purpose of using CUA. In this case can I replace CUA with CUP 5.3 SP12.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjeev

There are limitations to doing that.
CUA has a technology focus and does not take access risk into consideration at all. The long-term successor of this would be Netweaver Identity Management. If you want to consistently manage user master data and license information, that's probably the solution to look at.
You can perfectly use CUP on top of that to manage authorizations. You can also force CUP to only allow user IDs from a central system like CUA or ActiveDirectory in order to enforce user ID consistency.
What CUP will not do is give you an overview of where a user is maintained with which kind of information/license data. That is something that either CUA (for ABAP only) or Netweaver Identity Management will give you.
Frank.

HT4239 When I first started using my iPad 3,I thought Safari was just a regular homepage offer by Apple. I replaced it with Google. This was about 3 months ago(due to illness) don't really remember exactly what I did.

If you want Google as your homepage, open Safari.
Type www.google.com in the address bar
Then tap the action icon (box with a right facing arrow just to the left of the address bar).
Then tap: Add to Home Screen
That you can access your homepage directly from your Home screen.

Running pacman -Syu gives me this message (:: Replace libusbx with core/libusb? [Y/n]).
I chose no for a few times, but whenever I try to update the system, it asks me again.
What does that mean, and should I replace it?

Pacman tells you what the default option is by capitalizing it (Y). You would want a good reason to ignore pacman's recommendation...

[MBP - 2008, 4,1] Best way to replace HDD with SSD

Looking to upgrade my 2008 Macbook pro with a new SDD.
What is the best way to install a SDD while still saving the data from my HDD? I've heard it's possible to clone the hard drive, place the info on the SDD, and then boot with it. I've tried my best googling it, but I can't seem to figure out how I would connect my SSD to my computer while the HDD is still installed? I don't have an external drive with SATA connections.
If I do have to do a clean boot with the SDD (After saving important documents on an external drive), would I need my OSX disks? It's been a long 4 years with this computer and don't think there is any chance of recovering the OSX boot disks. Is there a way to download these necessary to do a clean boot?
Thanks for helping a misguided student trying to speed up his laptop!

You have two basic options. First is simply replace the HDD with the SSD. Second is to remove the optical drive, move the HDD to the space where the optical drive was (you need a mounting kit for this) and install the SSD where the HDD was installed.
Visit OWC to see the various options they have that includes the special mounting kit, SSD, and installation tutorials.
If you go with the first option then you will need an external notebook drive enclosure in which to put the HDD when you replace it with the SSD.
As for cloning that is done as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Be sure you prep the SSD properly:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your old HDD. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
I would also recommend upgrading your OS to Snow Leopard. You will need at least 1 GB of installed RAM for Snow Leopard.

Well first off you'll need another browser, Firefox allows many other search engine choices, Chrome is made by Google so that's no help really.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Once you have Firefox installed (and check the status of your plug-ins) you can search online for alternate search engines, there are hundreds.
Duck Duck Go is very privacy oriented.

You can find more here

Once you find one you like and visit the site you can add it to the Firefox search selection like this
You also can remove Google if you wish totally or just not use it.
Firefox also has Ad Block Plus, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy add-ons which combined and enabled will stop the trackers of Google and others.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.
