Some help with a MBP purchase please

I am upgrading from an older MBP and need some advice. The main reason is I need a bigger HD and a better display. So I am waffling between the 17" with the hi-rez display and the 15" 2.4 with the backlit LED screen. I will be using it mainly for editing photography.
I am really struggling with this one. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the guys at my local apple store told me the 17" had the LED display, which I find out later that it doesn't.
So my questions is do I go for the higher rez display with the 17" or the brighter LED 15". I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions.
thanks.

I hear you. Well, I'm biased, but I love my 15" LED display and I feel that it is the perfect size. I guess you have to decide whether or not it is worth it to spend the extra money for a larger screen. You will also get 3 USB ports with the 17", I don't know how important that is for you. If you're doing this professionally, it may be a good investment. However, you already have a hi-res desktop computer, so why not save a little $ and go with the 15"? It'll be easier to carry around and the screen is nice and large enough. I'm sure you could get your work done on it, and then if you need a higher resolution, you always have your work computer...

  • Some help with the 10g install, please.

    Hi,
    We want to install 10g, we are currently running 9i. We want to do this in silent mode since we have so many databases to move to 10g. We've got a few questions & concerns about the procedures that are supposed to be done.
    If someone could kindly read over some of our concerns, we'd appreciate it.
    First, we used the -record method to create a response file. How much do we have to manually edit that file once Oracle creates it for us? Or is it ready to go after we exit the OUI.
    When we tried to do the install, it said it successfully installed 10g, but it failed on some of the configuration assistants. Do we need to run all of the configuration assistants? I mean, TNS is already configured. Does it change for the 10g install?
    Additionally, once the 10g software is complete, the environment is still set to 9i. How does that get changed for the silent install to continue with the DBUA? I mean, we do have databases that need upgrading.
    Any help with steps would be very helpful to us. We're getting error messages like this:
    The installation of Oracle Database 10g was successful, but some
    optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped.
    Please check
    '/ora2/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2006-10-26_01-26-39PM.log'
    for more details.

  • Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

    Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6. 
    I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
    So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
    Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    And the colour started to get messed up.
    And the output is a total diasater
    Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
    So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
    The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
    And the output is just the same as the third option.
    Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

    I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
    always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
    if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
    windows calibrate link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
    for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
    you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
    and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
    with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

  • Need some help with the autosave feature - Please!

    Hello,
         I started an animation in flash recently and the autosave feature was turned on.  I had a good animation, but decided to play around with it a bit.  After a little while, I decided to call it a night and exited the program making sure NOT to save my work.  Upon opening that file the next time, I come to find out that Flash has autosaved my file while I was playing around.  Now I have a worthless animation, and have to start from scratch.  Is there any way to revert to a previous save, or autosave at this point, or am I about to do a lot of work again?
    Thanks anyone who can help.

    As far as I know, the autosave function isn't able to track down previous versions of the saved document - that calls for a specified version control system. I believe that Flash only saves the file if it is told to. There is a few ways to enable or disable autosave:
    in the "New Document" dialog. you can choose to enable Auto-Save.
    In the "Document properties" dialog you can set the checkmark.
    If these are checked of, there isn't going to happen any auto saving. The problem may be, that there is also a topic called Auto-Recovery. Recovery and Save isn't the same when it comes to Flash, but people tend to think of them as the same. You set the Auto-Recovery feature in the Preferences under General.
    Windows: Edit>Preferences : General>Auto-Recovery
    Mac OS: Flash Professional>Preferences : General>Auto-Recovery
    Both has a default of 10 minutes, and can therefore confuse he user. Please look at the document to make sure, that you haven't unset Auto-Recovery instead of Auto-Save. you can do that by:
    Go to the preferences (Ctrl+U on Windows and Command+U on Mac OS) and check to see if Auto-Recovery is set.
    Go to the documents properties (Ctrl+J on Windows and Command+J on Mac OS) and check to see if Auto-Save is set.
    The first one (in the preferences) is ok to have set. It is the second one, that may have caused trouble for you.

  • Need some help with wi-fi setup, please

    I have just upgraded from Broadband opt 3 to infinity, currently getting stunning performance, but only when wired !
    Have been running a wifi network on a Draytek 2600G for several years now without any problems, comprising 1 desktop, 1 laptop, together with PSP's, Playstation, ipods, Nintendo DS etc, etc. Not surprisingly the HH3 doesn't seem to like this setup and runs like a dog.
    Seems to me that I should be able to connect my Vigor 2600G to (either) the Openreach modem, or the HH3, and turn off the facilities that I don't want - i.e. use the connectivity of  the HH3 with the wifi facilities of the Vigor 2600G?
    Any suggestions or advice on how to achieve this would be most welcome.
    regards
    Mick

    I  think that the Vigor 2600 has some PPPoE functionality, but my understanding was that it is not a VDSL router, so will not stand in totally for the HH3.
    What I have been able to do is to;
    a/   switch off HH3 wifi
    b/   assign IP address to the Vigor 2600 from the range used by HH3
    c/   switch off Vigor 2600's DHCP functions
    d/   cable from HH3 Ethternet to Vigor 2600
    Now connected with all devices talking to Vigor 2600 wifi, and via cable to HH3 & 'Net. It's not clear to me if I can move the DHCP functions to the Vigor, for ease pf management, but a workable solution, albeit involving 3 mains connections as compared with one previously. (Looks like  the Draytek 2750 will replace all this with a one box solution)
    Some speed numbers; (all downloads)
    We previously had BT Broadband running at approx 7.5 MB
    Cable connection to HH3 & Infinity runs at 35-37MB
    HH3 Wifi produces speeds in the region of 1-2 MB (actually, on my MacBook - the iMac in the corner of the living room refused to connect to the HH3 at all)
    Using HH3 with Vigor 2600 wifi gives between 18 & 21 MB

  • Please I need some help with a table

    Hi All
    I need some help with a table.
    My table needs to hold prices that the user can update.
    Also has a total of the column.
    my question is if the user adds in a new price how can i pick up the value they have just entered and then add it to the total which will be the last row in the table?
    I have a loop that gets all the values of the column, so I can get the total but it is when the user adds in a new value that I need some help with.
    I have tried using but as I need to set the toal with something like total
        totalTable.setValueAt(total, totalTable.getRowCount()-1,1); I end up with an infinite loop.
    Can any one please advise on some way I can get this to work ?

    Hi, ddddda
    I've got the same problem, same rate.
    I called to Apple Support and she recommended me to report by this link.
    http://www.apple.com/asia/support/itunes/contact.html
    (Select topic .. App store)
    Within 6 hrs, Apple replied me with this.
    >>>>>>>>
    Dear Charin,
    Josh here from the iTunes Store.
    I understand your son made a purchase accidentally that you would like refunded. When it comes to your money, I can certainly appreciate how important it is to feel that you are treated fairly, and I would be more than happy to help you out with this today.
    Please read my entire email as I have included information about your refund, what was purchased and how to avoid these type of purchases in the future.
    Charin, the charges in question are for in-app purchases. An in-app purchase is a purchase that can be made within an Application on an iPhone or an iPod Touch.
    In-App purchases are items you can buy that will assist you in advancing in the game you're playing. Some examples of In App Purchases are: bonus game levels or maps, additional experience points, subscriptions, and recurring services.
    The Application "Diamond Dash" was free, and this is the Application that was used to purchase the in-app items. The in-app purchases were for "1000 Gold" to be used when playing "Diamond Dash."
    Please note that there is a 15 minute window after initially entering in your password, where the password is not requested again. Once this time has passed, you will be requested for your password, and also to confirm the purchase by tapping the Buy button.
    To prevent any further in-app purchases from being made unintentionally, please set the in-app restriction on your device(s) as soon as possible. You can set the in-app restriction on an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad by following these steps;
    1) Click on the "Settings" Application
    2) Now from the list of options click on "General"
    3) Scroll down and click on "Restrictions"
    4) Under the heading "Allowed Content" be sure that "In-App Purchases" is "OFF."
    After reviewing the circumstances of your case, we determined that issuing you a refund for your unintentional purchase of "1000 Gold" is an appropriate exception to the App Store Terms and Conditions, which state that all sales are final. In five to seven business days, a credit of $99.99 should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase.
    The iTunes Store provides a warning message that asks if you are sure that you want to buy an item. This warning can be turned off. If you would like to make sure that this warning is on, you can reset the warnings in the iTunes Store by following the instructions in this article:
    Resetting iTunes Store warnings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1734
    Additionally, you can make modifications on certain devices that will prevent them from making purchases:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch: Understanding Restrictions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    Please let me know if you require any further assistance with this issue, as if you do, I would be glad to help. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, Charin. I hope you have a great day.
    Sincerely,
    Josh
    iTunes Store / Mac App Store Customer Support

  • Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

    Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
    1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
    2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
    It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
    I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
    So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
    It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
    p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
    Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
    Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
    As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
    Original Image:
    http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
    Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
    http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
    It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
    It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

  • Need some help with the Select query.

    Need some help with the Select query.
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    select single vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    IT_REJ is a Work area:
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
            VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
            ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
           END OF IT_REJ.
    This is causing performance issue. They are asking me to include the where condition for this select query.
    What should be my select query here?
    Please suggest....
    Any suggestion will be apprecaiated!
    Regards,
    Developer

    Hello Everybody!
    Thank you for all your response!
    I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?

    I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table 
    select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    Earlier :

    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    Now :
    DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
    VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
    ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
    END OF IT_REJ.
    I guess this will fix the issue correct?
    PLease suggest!

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Need some help with threads...

    Hello all,
    I am working on a project at work, and I am not the best programmer in the world. I have been trying to get my head around this for a couple of days and just cannot get it to work.
    I am writing an instrumentation control program that will have three threads. One is the GUI, one will receive control information and set up the hardware, and one will check the hardware status and report it to the GUI periodically. I plan on using the invokeLater() method to communicate the status to the GUI and change the status display in the GUI. Communication from the GUI to the controller thread and from the status thread to the controller thread I had planned on being piped input/output stream as appropriate. I have a control class and a status class that need to be communicated over these piped streams. In some trial code I have been unable to wrap the piped input/output streams with object input/output streams. I really need some help with this. Here is the main thread code:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;*
    *public class PlayingWithThreads1 {*
    public static void main(String[] args) {*
    * PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();*
    * ObjectOutputStream oos = null;*
    * ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);*
    // Start the thread -- First try*
    * Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
    t.start();*
    // Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream*
    try*
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);*
    catch (IOException e)*
    System.out.println(e);*
    // Start the thread -- Second try*
    //Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
    //t.start();*
    /** Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
    class that contains control or status information */
    try
    if (!oos.equals(null))
    oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
    catch (IOException e)
    try
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    catch (InterruptedException e)
    I read somewhere that it matters where you start the thread relative to where you wrap piped streams with the object streams. So, I tried the two places I felt were obvious to start the thread. These are noted in the comments. Here is the code for the thread.
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
    private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
    private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
    ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
    System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
    try
    inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
    inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
    catch (IOException e)
    System.out.println(e);
    System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
    public void run()
    System.out.println("Thread started");
    try
    if (inputObject.available() > 0)
    System.out.println(inputObject.read());
    catch (IOException e)
    System.out.println(e);
    Through testing I have determined that no matter where I start the thread, the thread never gets past the "inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);" assignment.
    Could someone please help me with this? There are other ways for me to write this program, but this is the one that I would like to make work.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Rob Hix

    Thanks for the help, but that did not work. I tried flushing the ObjectOutputStream and it is still hanging when initializing the thread.
    Here is a better look at the code since I was helped to figure out how to insert it:
    The main method:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class PlayingWithThreads1 {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();
            ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
            ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);
            // Start the thread -- First try
            //Thread t = new Thread(rt);
            //t.start();
            // Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream
            try
                oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);
                oos.flush();
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
            // Start the thread -- Second try
            Thread t = new Thread(rt);
            t.start();
            /* Send an object over the pipe.  In reality this object will be a
             * class that contains control or status information */
            try
                if (!oos.equals(null))
                    oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
                    oos.flush();
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.pringln(e);
            try
                Thread.sleep(5000);
            catch (InterruptedException e)
    }The thread code:
    package playingwiththreads1;
    import java.io.*;
    public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
        private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
        private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
        ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
            System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
            try
                inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
                inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
            System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
        public void run()
            System.out.println("Thread started");
            try
                if (inputObject.available() > 0)
                    System.out.println(inputObject.read());
            catch (IOException e)
                System.out.println(e);
    }Does anyone else have and ideas?
