Should I avoid iTunes7?

I have read so many nightmares on these pages that I'm tempted to steer well clear of iTunes7, as 6 is doing everything I need. And as I just installed Final Vinyl and got it working with iTunes after some difficulty, I think I should leave well alone.
Is there any good reason to install iTunes7? I don't plan to buy movies yet awhile, I don't even have an iPod. Seems to me, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies to the setup I've got at present.

From my point of view yes you should avoid iTunes 7 until things settle down.
I have tried it on my eMac (700Mhz 1Gb RAM) and it was unuseably slow. I have been been using the eMac as an iTunes "server" for a home network with Airtunes, Powermac G5 (1.8 Mhz) & 12" Powerbook (876Mhz)
I do have a large library 2500+ tracks on an external firewire drive.
After upgrading to iTunes 7 everyting went well, I had to wait two days for it to check for gapless playbak and then the artwork. When that was over I found iTunes 7 was still slow & clunky adding new tracks was painfully slow, the main reason being all the processing power required hunting for & handling all the artwork.
I checked the activity monitor & when idle iTunes 7 was running at 45-55%.
The reason I use the eMac for my iTunes is to save me using processor power on my work machines. Your iMac G5 will probably cope with iTunes 7 but
for me iTunes 6 is the last version for the PowerPC.
I have now stripped out iTunes 7 & gone back to iTunes 6 which is pity as I was looking forward to gapless playback.

Flex mobile? should I avoid it?

Hi,
I need to develop an app for mobile... And it looks like the Flex mobile framework is a huge time saver!
But I know the adobe dropped Flex to Apache... Should I avoid using it?
Thanks
Gil

The AIR SDK and Flex SDK are different. For example you probably have AIR inside your flash environment but try loading something from the Flex SDK like something a spark component would use:
e.g. Flex:
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
Does that work for you? Probably not. It's only part of a modern Flex install.
Flex mobile introduces the spark components which are all mobile optimized. Adobe AIR is the runtime (VM) that gets exported captive and compiled down to ARM. You don't need to have a single Flex component in your AIR for Mobile project. AIR for Mobile does not require Flex.

Should I Avoid LR4 and Get LR3 Because of My Huge Hierarchical Keyword List?

I abandoned LR2 several years ago because it crashed from my hierarchical list of 12,000 keywords. (Botanical and common names and other terms.) I have been using CS5/Camera Raw/Bridge to manage and edit my images. The hierarchical list is necessary for my stock photo business.
I will soon be needing to compare and edit images for a book publication and gallery show and I am thinking I may need to return to LR so I can work more effciently. I do not care about not exporting some keywords or synonyms etc. I think (right now anyway) that it is fine that all keywords associated with the images get exported for my stock submissions. I ususally check off only the sub-keywords or sub-sub-sub keywords.
Here are my questions:
1) Is LR 3 able to handle my huge list of hierarchical keywords which is now larger than 12,000 words?
2) Should I upgrade to LR3 and not to LR4 to avoid the keyword mess I have been reading about but don't understand very well?
3) Is it possible to even upgrade to LR3 now that LR4 is released?
3) Would LR4 handle my keywords better or worse than LR2? Than LR3?
4) Is there a work efficiency reason to upgrade to CS6 without using any version of LR and continue using Bridge and Camera Raw as I have been?
5) Is there anything else I have not thought to ask? I am somewhat technically challenged and dread learning new software, having been burned in the past with ExpressionsMedia disaster and LR2 which crashed etc.
Thanks for any and all input from the forum!

I try to answer your questions. I also have a large list of hierarchical keywords (funny ... also botanical names) but not as much as you have.
1) I think that Lr3 is able to handle your list of keywords. I have not heard from anybody that there is a limit to the number of keywords that Lr is able to handle.
2) There seem to be some keyword issues in Lr4. My keywords were perfectly fine in Lr3 but after upgrading to Lr4 some of my keywords were not populated, meaning that the keywords themselves were listed in the keyword list but the image count showed 0. I still have my Lr3 catalog so was able to check (with Lr3) that, indeed, in Lr3 all the keywords in question were populated with the correct number of images. Fortunately there were not too many of these not-populated keywords, so I corrected the issue manually.
Since correct keywords are mandatory for your stock business, you are right in hesitating to upgrade to Lr4. In my opinion, the improvements that Lr4 offers over Lr3 are mainly in areas that are - probably - not so important to a stock business: improvements in the Develop Module and new Process Version, the Book Module, the map Module. On the other hand I would think that image management is paramount for you and in this area Lr4 is not much different than Lr3.
3) You will not be able to get an upgrade to Lr3 from Adobe now that Lr4 has been released. So you had to find a 3rd party vendor (B&H? Amazon?) who still sells Lr3.
4) Apart from the issue described above, I don't see any difference in keyword handling between Lr3 and Lr4. Lr2 is too far back for me - I don't remember.
5) My suggestion for you would be: You have to upgrade at some point. The longer you wait, the more difficult the transition will be because the differences of future versions to Lr2 will become greater. Since at the moment version 4.1 is in the works (there have been two RCs (Release candidates) of version 4.1 already), maybe it would be wise to wait until the final 4.1 version is out. maybe the keyword issues have been fixed.
6) You can "upgrade" to Lr4 and still have Lr2 on your system. All the Lr versions are stand-alone versions, not "plug-ins" for the previous versions. So you can have two (or more) different Lr versions on your system. So I would suggest that you upgrade to Lr 4.1 (once this version is out) but leave Lr2 on your system. When you Lr4 you will be asked if you want to upgrade your Lr catalog to Lr4 and you have the option of saving the Lr4 catalog as a different file, so that your Lr2 catalog is still available for Lr2 (Lr2 will not be able to work with the Lr4 catalog!). That way, if anything is amiss in Lr4 you can go back to Lr2 and work from there.

AD Built-In groups that should be avoided as best practice

I am on a 2008r2 domain. I spoke to a security engineer from Microsoft a few years ago. He mentioned some known issues that can occur from using some of the built-in security groups like Account Operators, Backup Operators, Server Operators,
etc. I know all of the users of those protected groups get stamped with the adminsdholder account, but does anyone have a good webpage that talks about which built-on groups should really be avoided as best practice? I am not as concerned with the actual
admin groups as those are pretty obvious.
Thanks,
Dan Heim

Because being member of those groups mentioned means you can effectively become a Enterprise Admin of the entire forest cause they can reset passwords, logon to domain controllers etc. Take his advice and don't use them, they exists as a legacy from Windows
NT 4.0.
Use delegation in Active Directory instead to delegate proper permissions.

What should I avoid doi

Hey all, I was just wondering what I should avoid doing to not let my Zen Micro freeze, shut off without me pressing the button, etc. I just dont want to make any mistakes that would make it break again. Pretty much I just need to know what happened to your Zen mirco that made it go currupt. Did you do anything at all? Or did it just break for no reason?

Yes, Creative makes several models of Flash memory Mp3 players.
If you keep a hard disk player in your pocket while running, it's still going to be subject to repeated shocks/jolts.
It might not fail instantly and it might not ever fail, but you will be taking a risk with it every time you jog or do acti've sports with it.

Copy paste activity should be avoided.

Hi Freinds
This has been discussed many a times in the forum and many members have already requested not to copy and paste the answers posted by other members.
But, unfortunately it is not followed. Though many-a -times I have seen this copy paste activities but I have not reacted thinking that members will not repeate the same activity in future.
To-day, I found that Mr. Sanil Kailash Bhandari has copied the answer posted by me on 19th Nov 2008 and pasted in this forum (Billing issue question).
Atleast you could have changed the language Mr Bhandari and you could have interpreted in your own word, beacuse it is nothing like that, I have invented something new.
Many members can easily answer the same question but we should answer in our own language and it gives real pleasure if our (own) answer has solved somebody's problem and you will never get that
satisfaction from copy paste activity.
Once again I will request Mr.Lakshmipati to kindly take care of this typa of activities.

Thank you Mr.Lakshmipati for immediately responding to my concern !
Infact,it is a concern of the whole forum, I feel.
I feel that, instead of pasteing same answers, we should come out with more correct and varified answers next times.
At the same time, I request the members to first search the forum before posting a question and if not found the satisfactory answer then only post the question in a new thread.
In the process, we need not have to request the members to avoid copy-paste activities and secondly a number of meaningful and new suggestions will be posted by different contributors.
Dr.Lakshmipati, I am not sending the link and details to you as I do not want that any disciplinary action should be taken on any of our member.
My sole purpose was to make an appeal to all of us to avoid this type of activity.

Should we avoid Graphical mapping and stick with Java mapping?

After developing mappings in XI for a month, I just don't see any good reasons to use Graphical mappings over Java mappings. Maybe some experienced users here can give me some valid reasons why we should choose Graphical mappings. Here is what I think:
Disadvantages of Graphical mappings:
1. No way to perform automated unit testings. This is probably the biggest reason I hate it. You can do some tests manually when you work in Integration Builder. But there is no way you can write some unit testing utilities to automate the task.
2. Complexity. Even for some simple requirements, your Graphical mappings can become complicated and hard to understand. A lot of times, I find myself staring at several dozens of graphical nodes and try to understand what it does.
3. Impossible to reuse. This is totally against the DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principle. For example, to generate messages for JDBC adapter, it is common to have two identical fields for primary keys: one in the access node and another in the key node. If you change the mapping logic in one, you have to remember to change the other.
Advantage with Java mappings:
1. Fully automated unit testing. You can create JUnit tests along with your Java mapping classes and use Maven or other build tools to perform automated unit testing.
2. Your choice of XML parsing and binding. With Java mapping, you can choose any open source framework for XML parsing and binding. For example, with XMLBeans, I can convert XML input message to a Java object, transform to another Java object and write to output message. And each Java object is generated from its corresponding XML schema.
3. Highly reusable. We can use fundamental object-oriented designs to create highly reusable mapping components.
4. Better version control. Since the mappings are just Java classes, we can use CVS or SVN to track code changes.
5. Better build tools. We can fully utilize build tools like Ant and Maven to automate the build, unit tests, or even generate documents and mapping web sites.
So do you guys agree? Maybe I am still new to XI or I am missing some important things. But at this point, I just don't see why I should use Graphical mappings. Is there anyone developing XI interfaces completely with Java mappings?
Thanks in advance for any comments!

Could you explain more why the graphical mapping has better performance? I thought the graphical mapping is compiled into a Java class in the runtime anyway.
> Yes thats there, but same goes with Java mapping too
> right (if you haven't mentioned it as constants)
I mainly think about inheritance. If I have to build 10 interfaces and they all have some common behavior, I can create a base interface class to encapsulate the common logic. But with graphical mapping, you have to duplicate them in each interface.
> Disadvantages of Java mapping:
> 1. Performance
Same as above. I just don't see why Java has worse performance. I actually think Java should have better performance. You can optimize the code anyway you want. In some cases, you have to use queue functions in graphical mapping but it's not necessary in Java.
> 2. All might not be well versed with Java Code(though

I am not asking everyone to abandon graphical mapping. I am just wondering which one is better when you have skills for both.

You can create functions in Java too. All you have to do is to remember the function name.

Data-Driven test : Compilation should be avoided while running tests in batch when .csv file inputs changed to use them in script

Hi,
I am running Data-Driven test on different machines with different input values in .CSV file in batch mode.we are facing following problem:
Test not considering modified values in .CSV file until we recompile the test.
Is there any way to avoid this dependency of compilation after updating .CSV file???
Regards,
Nagasree.

Assuming the CSV is part of the Visual Studio solution. Open the properties panel for the CSV file from solution explorer. Set "Copy to output directory" to "Copy if newer" or to "Copy always". Some documents recommend
"Copy if newer" but I prefer "Copy always" as occasionally a file was not copied as I expected. The difference between the two copy methods is a little disk space and a little time, but disks are normally big and the time to copy is normally
small. Any savings are, in my opinion, far outweighed by being sure that the file will be copied correctly.

Should I avoid Safari for HOtel reservations?

I just had to fill out this long draining form, and it would go out.
then tried Firefox and worked like a charm?
Why does so much stuff like this still not work in Safari years after it's been out?

Hi Kevin,
I think it would be a good idea maybe to find out which browsers a site supports, before registering. Then you can decide which browser to use
in hopes of avoiding this time consuming waste of your time.
Sometimes the Debug menu, if activated can help, Terminal app in Utilities folder you can activate it by using the command below ;
- QUIT Safari 1st,
- Copy & paste the command exactly as it is into the Terminal window,
you will probably be promted for your admin pswd, it will not be echoed
then hit return:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and to turn it off again,
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0
*All the usual caution, when working/using in Terminal
Good luck,

Should I avoid iPod Touch and go for the classic?

I currently am using an old 256mb player, and I need a new ipod, its getting ordered next week or so... (xmas present, so I gotta wait until christmas.)
I have 27gb of media, but only 6.7 gb of songs in iTunes. Most people say, well you got so much, get the classic. What is really stopping me from getting the classic is that the ipod touch has wifi. I have a wifi network in my house, and now that I sold my PSP and my laptop is gone, I cant sit in my living room and browse the internet. I really miss that. I am worried about a few things with the ipod touch:
1. Not enough storage for me - I will have to have a mixed bag of media
2. Reports of touchscreen becoming unresponsive after a few weeks +
3. Battery life and reliability - short battery life and it is expensive to replace when it really dies
4. No games that can be played when wifi isnt around - yet
The things I like about the touch is:
1. WIFI - I love safari and I am a youtube addict
2. Widescreen - so much nicer to watch vids on a widescreen
3. Thin - my ipod will always be in my pocket, so the thinner the better
4. Glass multitouch screen - makes you feel like your part of the device
5. OSX - since it is more of a portable computer, there are endless possibilities with it - remember, apple comes out with a SDK in feb...
6. Amazing cover flow
Disadvantages of classic:
1. Hard drive is less reliable than flash
2. No wifi
3. Smaller screen
4. No option to fit videos and pics to screen while watching them on ipod
5. Cover flow feels like crap after using a touch/iphone
Advantages:
1. Hard drive - more storage
2. Longer lasting and cheaper battery
3. Cheaper
4. In its 6th gen so you dont have to worry as much about its technology failing like you do with the touch
5. GAMES - I am always on the go and would love to be able to play texas hold em, I am a major texas hold em freak.
I went to the apple store 4 times since the new ipods were release, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I walk out saying "Ok, iPod touch it is." Then I get home and open iTunes and sit down and realize that it just isn't enough storage. I have had a 4gb ipod mini 2nd gen and a 2gb ipod nano second gen in the past and with both devices I have had to choose what I wanted on my iPod, I am really sick of that. Let me know what you guys think. BTW my mini eventually died and I sold the nano because I was in need of money.
Lastly, my budget limit is $300, so its 80gb iPod Classic vs 8gb ipod touch.
On a side note my name isn't rebecca and I am not a girl... I am Garrett, and am a male college student. Thanks...

i got my 16GB touch about a week ago and I LOVE IT. There is only one problem that I can see with it and that is the SHEAR FEAR of damaging it. I mean the thing is pretty much all screen. I know its hardy and hard to scratch but unfortunately it is possible and you will absolutely HATE YOURSELF if you scratch your baby hehe. But with a case and a screenprotector you can diminish that fear.
I also agree with A A P L that the touch is currently the only iPod on the market that can progressively get better. I mean with the classic sure software updates will improve functionality but your pretty much stuck with what you get the day you bring it home. But with the touch, with all the apps that were gonna get on it, we will always have new features commin out.
Sure there are a few software bugs but what do you expect with a brand new piece of technology. There are really no hardware problems that afflict all ipod touchs except what you mentioned about battery life. But there are even ways to get around that. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I feel with the touch you will be too.

Should we Avoid QuickTime at all Costs?

Hello, an established and distinguished member of this forum recently said:
"Don't use QuickTime...for anything. Seriously, just completely uninstall it from your rig."
What is some of the thinking behind this view? I know others have also expressed very strong reservations about it as well.
I don't want to start a big controversy or anything, but I would like to get up to speed on this essential issue.
Thanks so much!
Matt
PS: I have a Canon 5D Mark II and shoot in H.264.... Quicktime seems to be intimately involved in my workflow somehow.....

Having QuickTime installed won't hurt anything if you don't choose to use it.
Having QuickTime installed is necessary to import several kinds of .mov files (though Premiere Pro can handle some natively, as in the example that Colin gave)---so, if you are going to use .mov files as source media, you need QuickTime installed.
Exporting to QuickTime is sometimes required by some clients. Though you may try to dissuade them, the client is (usually) the boss.
If you have a choice, and you care about color fidelity, don't export to QuickTime. QuickTime has a jumbled, half-implemented way of kinda-sorta doing color management. This method doesn't even work reliably within Apple software, meaning that people can't roundtrip media just within Apple applications with consistent color in some circumstances. This absolutely bedevils us, as we keep trying to hit this moving target. Any time someone tells me that our color management system isn't working, I _know_ (well, strongly suspect, anyway, with a very high rate of being right) that they're using QuickTime media.
Because QuickTime is a 32-bit software component, we had to create our own intermediate process (QT32 Server) to communicate between QuickTime and the 64-bit Adobe video applications. This component can diminish performance but, more to the point, it can be the source of some other problems. The one that springs immediately to mind is the fact that aggressive firewall programs seem to hate QT32 Server, as described here:

So should I avoid 1.1.3

I just found out about this upgrade and new apps, but in some quick reading it doesn't seem like ANYBODY has had it work correctly. I'm afraid to even plug mine into my computer. Has anybody had this work smoothly?

I haven't had any problems with the update. Granted I was probably one of the first to do it, so I didn't encounter any of the problems that some users seem to have had. I'm all for it! I feel like my touch runs and sounds better than when it was jailbroken.
And as to the "hot topic" of the past few days, I'm really not that upset about the $20. The mail app and maps work better, IMO, than the "free" versions. The only thing that upset me was the transition to the iPhone dock. I liked the old one much better. But I imagine that a Customize equivalent will be one of the apps released in the SDK.

Should I avoid the Yoga?

After looking at quite a few laptops, none of them stick out as much as the Yoga. I am in love with the vibrant IPS screen with the 1600x900 resolution display (because 1080p makes text too small and I don't believe in switching DPI). The design is sleek - it looks very simple and elegant.
But it seems that there are many, many issues with the device. I understand that the constantly-on fan and touchpad can be fixed with driver updates or BIOS updates but now there are threads popping up with physical problems such as the fan hitting the housing - thus making a rattling noise - and that the paint is starting to chip off.
Still it's impossible to tell what percentage of Yoga owners are having issues so I was just hoping that you guys could chime in and say what happened to your Yoga i.e. have you kept it, if you are keeping it - does it have issues that you are dealing with, or have you returned it because the issues were too much to bear.

LeoBloom,
I think you would be very happy with a Yoga 13. The day Windows 8 was released, I went to my Local BestBuy in search of a tablet with a Core i5 processor. I REALLY wanted a stand alone tablet that ran full Windows 8. At the time, the only tablet available at BestBuy was the Asus RT tablet with detachable keyboard. I played with it for a while to get familiar with the OS, but there was no way that I would spend $600 for a 32gb RT tablet. I initially had my mind set on an Acer Iconia w700 or a Samsung Smart PC Pro, but they hadn't been released yet . A blessing in disguise.
Then, I saw the Yoga 13. Honestly, before spending any time with the Yoga, I thought the ability for it to rotate from an ultrabook into a tablet was sorta "gimmicky". Once I got my hands on it, I noticed that this was not a gimmick, but instead, a very solid machine that I could see myself using on a regular basis.
Here's what lured me to the Yoga 13:
--Full Windows 8 installed
--Large nice display.
--Very sturdy hinges that rotate 180 degrees.
--Solid build quality. Nice leathery palm rest.
--Having the option to have a keyboard or precision pointing when needed without having to worry about misplacing a detachable keyboard. (Don't think I could use an on-screen keyboard full-time. Especially on a 10" or 11" display)
--Multiple USB ports without the need of a hub or docking station.
--Uses the same Standard SD as my digital camera
--Very upgradeable. (I learned this after making the purchase)
--You get all of this for $1000
I ordered my Yoga 13 from BestBuy on 11/2 and picked it up on 11/7. I could've returned it within 30 days if I saw something better. Fortunately, I didn't. I mean, this system is so upgradeable with the ability to swap out the 4gb memory card for an 8gb card, and add an EXTRA 128gb or 256gb mSATA card. Crucial.com has the 8gb memory card for $38 and the mSATA cards are $106 and $206. I purchased a 1 year warranty and 1year tech support through BestBuy. Once I get the 8gb memory card and mSATA card, BestBuy will install it as long as it's compatible.
As for the issues,
Yes, the fan is always on, but it's not overwhelming at all. You only notice it in low volume environments or when you think about it. You won't really notice it with everyday sounds such as TV noise, chatter, etc. Besides, I'd rather hear a little fan noise than having a hot ultrabook. I haven't had problems with it being hot or the fan hitting the housing or the paint chipping off, but I treat this thing like a baby. A $1000 baby. I have the Lenovo Slot-In case for it and I put that in another case for traveling. The Slot-In case also doubles as a keyboard cover for those that feel uncomfortable when the keys are resting on your palm in tablet mode.
The touchpad is hit and miss when bringing up the charms or menu bar, but I believe it will be fixed.
I recommend that you purchase a stylus as the 13.3" screen can be a lot of area to cover while in tablet mode, and it reduces finger prints on the screen. This also helps when the touchpad is as responsive.
My only gripe is the horrible partitioning on this device out of the box. As already mentioned, there is a hotfix that combines the C and D drives, but you will have 80gb free, not 100gb. The total C drive is 100gb using 20gb for the OS and apps. The rest must be hidden for Recovery. No worries. Pop in a 64gb SD card and you will have !40gb of free space, or purchase another 120gb or 256gb drive if needed. I was impressed that Lenovo made this fix in less than a month after it's release.
Well that's about all I can think of. I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Should I avoid used iBook G3's?

I can get a pretty good deal on a used (most recent version) iBook G3 (12.1", 900 MHz G3, 640 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, AP etc.). I'm all set to get it as the price is great, but I'm kind of worried about the whole logic board thing?
It's obviously way out of warranty and the extended replacement plan is over, so is it too risky to buy one? If it hasn't had problems yet, is it likley that it might eventually? Or is it pretty safe if it hasn't failed yet? It's probably only because people post bad experiences here, but it seems that most iBook owners have had a logic board failure at some time.
I've had a bad experience with a G3 Lombard PB (messed up logic board) a few years ago and don't want a repeat experience.

If the iBook you're looking at does have the logic board failure, there's a department in Apple (Rhonda Wilson knows it), where if you talk to them and ask them to make an exception there's a good chance they will if it's an actual logic board failure.
This iBook I'm using now (900MHz, 384mb, Combo, 40gb) had it's logic board replaced and it was out of warranty also, but they still took it and it's been running great ever since.
Don't worry about buying used iBooks, I've owned three and they've all been (except for this one) perfectly fine.

We need to avoid rescheduling of Production order in APO

Currently the production orders are created in ECC with reference to the plan orders transferred from APO. These orders are transferred back to APO as part of standard CIF. Since ECC is the owner of Production orders, we don’t want APO influencing any changes in production order. But there are situations when the APO is rescheduling the production order by automatically triggering heuristics after getting the changes in capacity from ECC via CIF. That is impacting with the schedule of orders already planned by business in ECC. One such known issue is when the capacity of resource has change during the time when order is scheduled. How should we avoid this?

Hi Anubrata,
Please check note 161028. This is the standard behaviour. If the SKU is X0 have to be planned by APO!
This note describes a modification proposal for the following purpose;
When a planned order is imported into R/3 via the interface, it is never scheduled in R/3 (detailed scheduling: esp. generation of capacity requirements).
This is the current design of APO <-> R/3 interface.
However, for such special requirements that the planned order should 'always' be scheduled, you can apply the following source code change.
This modification enables you to always automatically schedule the planned order that comes over the interface from APO for 'change' and 'create'. If capacity planning is activated, then also capacity requirements are determined in R/3.
This functionality only works for PP/DS planned orders and not for SNP planned orders. For SNP orders the SNP PPM will always be reexploded after a changed planned order is send back from R/3 to APO and then the order will be rescheduled in APO again.
Hope that can help you.
Thanks.
Regards, Marius
