Several questions about getting a new PowerBook

Since I have really limited credit limit, I am wondering whether the online store will charge you through the credit card you provide? Do I have any other choices, such as bank card or cheque?
The second question: Is there any special procedure to go through before you can get the student discount?
The third: Which softwares are essential for student's daily and school tasks that are not provided with the new PowerBook? And what do they do? If you can explain them as their counterparts for PC, that's really appreciated.

Here is a list of payments the Apple Store accepts.
You can get to the Educational version of the Apple Store here.
Well, there's Microsoft Office for Mac, of course. Although AppleWorks may be an acceptable alternative. It supports word-processing, spreadsheets and databases, although it appears to be being phased out. Pages is a newer word processing app that works well with Word documents.

Several Questions about upgrading APEX

Hello,
I a several questions about upgrading APEX.
I want to upgrade my APEX 2.0 to 2.2 and hopefully in a few month to 3.0.
Is there a How To about upgrading APEX?
What would happen to my applications?
Would there be any problems about the applications when the APEX version is upgraded to another version?
Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
Yes there is (detailed) upgrade documentation provided with the upgrade itself, which you should definitely look through. The 2.2 and 2.2.1 releases are currently available here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
You applications will be 'upgraded' as part of the upgrade process (i.e. they will continue to work with the new software once the upgrade is complete).

Satellite U405D - Several questions about overheat/disassembly/upgrade etc.

Hi there,
I have several questions about my one year old Satellite U405D-S2910
1- When it works, after 2-3 hours (I usually run small programs like safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85-90 C (178-188 F). When I play Age of Empires 2 (Come on, its an ancient game) like 2-3 hours it shuts down itself. What could be the possible reason?? By the way, let me inform you about the climate of the town I live, temp 30C - humidity 25-35% (nowadays).
ps. Cpu= AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model, RM-74
2- I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think reason of overheating is this). It doesnt seem like a desktop, so complicated. Ive seen a step-by-step disassembly(btw, its so hard to spell disassembly:) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions about it? any experiences could help me?
3- My laptops Ram memory consists of 2X2GB PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM, I want to replace it to 2x2GB MACH XTREME DDR2 1333MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK RAM. Should I do it? Does it fit my laptop, work stable? any suggestions?
ps. mainboard chipset AMD M780V
4- finally :) , Should I use 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?
Thank you.

Hi buddy,
1+2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you should clean your notebook using compressed air spray. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble it, just blow gently and shortly the air through the notebook. You can buy such compressed air spray from every computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
You can find an useful article about this here:
3. In my opinion you should forget this update! The RAM speed is related to FSB of CPU and as far as I know on Satellite U405D its 667MHz so its already the fastest RAM that you can have. Save your money and buy a bigger HDD or in best case an SSD that can really improve the performance!
4. In my opinion the answer is clear: Windows 7 64bit.
Only a 64bit OS support full 4GB RAM. ;)

Thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?

We have a 2009 MBP, 2010 MBP, 2011 MBA, an IPAD 2, and several ipods. Currently, my 2009 MBP is the main computer, holding all the music and pictures. This has used up the majority of the available storage and definitely slows it down some. I do back up the full computer to a backup drive and also remove the large movie files to another external drive. I'm thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer. Has anyone done this? What is your experience and recommendations?
I look forward to all responses.
Thanks,
Brad

Thanks for your response. I look forward to hopefully learning something new here.
A good share of my music was added via my CDs, but now everything is added via itunes and occasionally amazon. Almost all my pictures and video are added through my cameras via iphoto although I have added some with the 'add image to iphoto library' function also.

Several questions about Application Security

Hello,
I have several questions about Application Security and perhaps I need a few tips...
I have a lot of users in a few groups which have access to my application! And the different groups should have only access to their pages.
In my application I use trees to navigate through the application.
So my idea is that i display different trees for the different user groups and restrict the user to access the URL....so the user can only see and contact "their" pages.
I know how to create the logic behind the trees, but how can I create the restricted URL access...
The "No URL Access" in the Session State Protection can not be used, because I use a lot of links in reports and HTML regions.
Is there another way to solve that?
But I am unsure if that is a "good" solution for my problem!
What do you think about that?
Am I going to do that too complicated?
Could that be done by authentication or authorization?
(By the way, I do not understand the differences between authentication and authorization. Can anyone help?)
I would be glad for any reply!
Thank you,
Tim

Hey Arie and Scott,
thank you for your quick reply!
Now I understand the context around authorization and authentication...
I try the Access Control List and I think that is a very nice feature! Really good!
But now I am wondering, how I can create more privileges?
So that I have a few "end-user-roles" and then I can choose who have access to a page and who not!
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thank you,
Tim

Several questions about oracle ASM in 11gR2.

Hi, all.
The db is 11.2.0.3 on a linux machine.
I have several questions about oracle ASM functionality.
1. V$ASM_DISKGROUP.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE is the stripe size in bytes??
2. V$ASM_DISK.DISK_NUMBER is unique to a physical disk??
3. if the second question is the case,
disk_number=0 (a physical disk) has 14 partition on it.
And each partition belongs to several diskgroups.
Is ths right??
with q1 as (
     select /*+ use_hash(b,a) */

1. No. The stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration.
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmcon.htm#BABCGDBF)That is not a true statement. Please read the document, the stripe size depends upon what method of striping we using (fine-grained or coarse-grained)
--from the same oracle document:
To stripe data, Oracle ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the AU size (not the data extent size).
--are we using fine grained or coarse-grained ? and how to change the striping method (using TEMPLATES)

Thinking about getting a new macbook pro, just a few questions first --

Hey guys,
I've been a mac user for about 5 years now and I love them. I've had a white 2.0 c2d macbook for about a year now. I primarily used this macbook for work, and my PC desktop for occasional games. I was thinking about getting a mac pro to do some gaming since my PC desktop broke about 2 months ago, but recently I've been getting more expenses so my wallet has grown thinner. So now I don't really have enough cash to get the mac pro. I also can't sell the macbook for a mac pro because I need something mobile for work. What I can do though is sell my macbook and get a macbook pro.
My question to you guys is, how do you like your macbook pro as a desktop replacement? I have a dell 2407-HC monitor as well to use with it. Does it game well over boot camp? I know cider hasn't yielded good performance, so please stick to bootcamp reviews. I'm not looking at anything really really intense, as I don't really have time to do as much gaming as I used to, but it'd be nice if it could run the orange box (mostly team fortress 2), dawn of war dark crusade, assassin's creed (when it comes out), and possibly the warhammer online mmo or age of conan mmo.
The other question is whether or not I should wait for a new one. Macrumors says that it's been about 150 days, and the macbook pros are updated every 180 days or so. I've already waited a few months since my desktop broke to see if the mac pro was going to be updated for penryn, but now the situation has changed, and now it looks like I might have to wait if I want a macbook pro. So, to wait or not to wait?
Any other opinions are welcome as well. Thanks.

What's the beneift of buying 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 instead of 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7?
Benefit of the QUAD core and the BASE UNIT 13" is extra cores for "heavy" photo and video editing and dedicated graphics

Iphone stolen - question about getting new one

Heeelp! Pleeease?
I had only just gotten my 8 gb iphone 3G for my birthday in August 08. (Last summer.) I got a two year contract with AT&T at that time. Then at the beginning of this year - in the end of Feb 09 - a punk on the train stole my iphone. : ( I wanted to get a new one but Apple said I had to pay full price $399 instead of the $199 my friends paid for the first one, because my contract was not up. Does anyone know if this still applies if I want to buy the 3G S now? Will I have to pay full price or can I get it for the going price - which I think is $199??? Correct?
I miss my iphone so much. : (

No one here can say. The only way to find out is - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

Hi, All
I have question about how to get dataset from web services
and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
I have no problem to get data by
<mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
/>
And display in datagrid.
But when I try to use
public function
handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
2, how to convert data format
I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
structure, as mention below:
I get:
<Array>
<id>111</id>
<Name>Production1</Name>
</Array>
<Array>
<id>222</id>
<Name>Production2</Name>
</Array>
Convert to:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node>
<node label="Production1" data="111">
<node label="Production2" data="222"/>
</node>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
Please help me.
Thanks.

First, don't specify the package path in the argument
declaration. Instead import the event object:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
The docs state this emphatically.
Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
for the event object, but maybe not.
Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
you wish.

Several questions about iCloud & iPod touch

I have several questions regarding iCloud which I just started using yesterday.
So far most of my music has been uploaded, but many songs say that "an error occurred" so they were not able to be uploaded. 1) How can I get these songs to upload/try again? 2) These songs are currently on my iPod touch. I haven't configured my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match yet for fear of losing the music that is already on there. If something from my desktop was unable to be uploaded, will it be deleted from my iPod when I set up my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match?
3) I have purchased music with my iPod but not synced it with a computer. Will that music be lost if I start using iCloud on my iPod? Will it be uploaded to the cloud so I can access it on my laptop and desktop (which are both Mac products and set up with iCloud)? I no longer connect my iPod to a computer because the laptop it was connected to and had all of my music on died and my new one doesn't have enough storage. My desktop is old and has my older music collection and I fear losing all of the music that is on my iPod (that I don't have anywhere else). I hope that iCloud will help me with all of this- please tell me that it will! 5) I accidentally downloaded half of an album to my iPod and half to my laptop. Will iCloud allow me to have the whole album on 1 device? Thanks so much!

Lots and lots of questions
The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

Question about transferring to new mbp

I am a senior in high school this year and have had my macbook since 8th grade and can't even begin to say how much I love it! I am most likely going to be getting a new mbp in the near future for college and had a few questions about transferring files/applications over. I am pretty good with computers and yes I do realize that there is the migration assistant as well as time machine backups. I have kept time machine backups on an external drive ever since leopard and want to know when I get the new machine if I could just do a time machine restore. (Would this method keep the new ilife on the new mbp because I don't have 09) I also also upgraded the hdd from an 80gb to a 320 gb drive and have partitioned it to run win7 through bootcamp. Would win7 and all the settings automatically be transferred as well. In addition I am using virtual box to run ubuntu within osx. I have also downloaded countless applications online and wanted to know how they would transfer over If I don't have the disk or serial numbers to them. It seems it may be easier just to slap this hdd in the new mbp but I'm not sure if thats possible. Again thanks for the help

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If your old Macbook is a Intel based machine it would be to your benefit to use Migration Assistant to get your new MBP up. With MA assistant you have options of transferring information from your Macbook from either Firewire, USB or Ethernet connections. MA will walk you through how to connect the two machines together and ask what data you want transferred. If the Macbook is Intel based and you choose all of the options MA will make a mirror of the settings, data etc.. onto the new MBP. If your old machine is a PPC machine it is strongly advised not migrate items such as applications to the new machine due to possible incompatibilities. MA will also ask if you want to use a Time Machine drive to migrate the data to the new machine so you do have options. If you choose that route remember Time Machine _does not_ back up Windows so you would not be able to migrate that information using MA.
Your question has been asked many many times, I would recommend do a thread search and you will find some very useful information.
Regards,
Roger

Question about keyboard on new MBP compared to older ones

I have had a MacBookPro3,1 for almost two years now. Mostly I like it but the keyboard has always been somewhere between bad and terrible. My 12 inch AiBook had the best keyboard I've even seen on a laptop, this current MBP one of the worst. It was always kind of squishy feeling, but within about 6 months the "C" key quit working entirely so I bought a stand alone apple keyboard that i have been using since then. That's another story since several of the letters have worn completely off, some keys stick, etc. but my question is whether the new MBP have any better keyboard than the two year old on, or if it's the same squishy one that was there on mine. And yes, I know i could have sent it back for a repair under the warranty for the broken key, but I was in a position where I couldn't afford to be without it for even a single day at that time.
Thanks for all replies

I would have to totally agree with EWW...
I also agree that the 12" not only has the best keyboard but is the best Mac ever, and I am not looking forward to the day that I have to put the ol' girl down.
I still mourn mine. One tiny solder connection on the motherboard broke, and it is $800 to replace, but I sure loved that computer. Bought it the week it was introduced and it was wonderful.

Questions about Contracts and New Phones

I've had some questions about how upgrading and adding new lines to a contract works and I haven't been able to find the answers through Google. First some background information: We started this most recent contract in September of 2011 and as such the current contract will end September of 2013. According to the phone information portal, all three of the devices on my account will be eligible for an upgrade this Saturday (May 4th, 2013). My daughters birthday just so happens to coincide with that date and as such we were planning on surprising her by taking her to buy a new phone and we are going to allow our son to upgrade his phone as he has been asking to for a while.
Is there any way of locking/limiting the amount of data allowed for each phone on a shared plan? I'm worried that my daughter will go way over our limit and not pay attention to the point where she will end up costing us a very large amount of money
Does adding a new line require the start of a new contract?
My son was interested in purchasing the "Samsung Galaxy S4" and has noticed that pre-orders for that phone are currently available. Is it possible to pre-order the phone on that date using the upgrade so that the price will be reduced?
If the answer to number 2 is a no, does adding the new line take away the upgrades from other phones or would he be able to go to the store past the release date and upgrade then?
Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this. Any help that I receive will be extremely appreciated.

1. Yes. There is an additional fee per line you wish to do this for. When you add the line you can choose this option and set the data amount it is allowed to use.
2. Yes. Each line is a separate contract with its own expiration date.
3. The contract starts when you sign up for the contract. The amount will be pro-rated on the plan if it is not started until part-way through your billing cycle that is what you are asking. Doing the pre-order just guarantees you the phone in case they sell out.
4. No it will not take any upgrades away as each line has its own termination date. You can move upgrades around between lines though.

Where to post question about backing up new G580 laptop

I'm new to Lenovo products and this forum and would like to know where I am to post a question about backing up a new G580 laptop.
I would appreciate any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi kec234, welcome to the forum,
the best place would probably be in the Lenovo 3000 & Essential notebooks board; it's the correct board for your system and who knows after searching through it you may find an existing thread on the same subject??

Several question about SVN PKGBUILDs

I'd like to make a PKGBUILD for an SVN version of a program. I have just looked at existing PKGBUILDs and now there are several questions:
* Why are PKGBUILDs made for particular revision? PKGBUILDs for the latest revision would not require maintainance and would be more useful for users... (IMHO)
* Why does everyone make 'svn co' in their PKGBUILDs and not 'svn export'? I don't think that users will commit their changes under anonymous account anyway... (that will be 98% impossible)

Lazer wrote:* Why are PKGBUILDs made for particular revision? PKGBUILDs for the latest revision would not require maintainance and would be more useful for users... (IMHO)
Because you have to put one version when you write the PKGBUILD.
Besides, it indicates that the maintainer of the PKGBUILD tested this particular revision.
It is impossible to know if the PKGBUILD or the package will still work correctly at a future revision (there could be changes in the build system, other compilation problems, new bugs in the software, etc...)
That said, makepkg by default will update the revision automatically when you run it. But this can be prevented with --holdver :
--holdver Prevent automatic version bumping for development PKGBUILDs
* Why does everyone make 'svn co' in their PKGBUILDs and not 'svn export'? I don't think that users will commit their changes under anonymous account anyway... (that will be 98% impossible)
Uh?
$ svn -h co
checkout (co): Check out a working copy from a repository.
PS : have a look at /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-svn.proto from abs package for a prototype of a svn pkgbuild.
