Still Need to use OpenDNS Servers with 10.5.2

at home, we have cox communications for our cable company. when i'm using our home wireless network, i find i must add the OpenDNS servers to my network prefs or i can't access certain sites (google, wikipedia, etc.) is anyone else experiencing this?
(oh, and i'm still getting the self-assigned ip address from certain free wireless hotspots that worked fine under tiger - i know this isn't DNS-related, i'm just wondering if these issues will be cleared up in 10.5.2.)

Yes they are - I am using Open DNS on Cox in Orange County CA - and I plan to continue even after Apple fixes the DNS issue - I like some of the features

No one here knows (or can say if they do) When 10.5.2 comes out we will see - until then it is unknown

thanks. sorry about the speculation. forgot it was a violation.
what other features do you like about OpenDNS? isn't it just a provider of free DNS servers, which you add via the network control panel? other than that, what does i do?

    how does one navigate the keyboard without a mouse. Do we still use finger to move from place to place?

    Yes you still need to use your finger to do all of the things that you need to use it for even if you use a wireless keyboard. You are merely adding a larger more robust keyboard to the device. You are not replacing the touch gestures features with the use of an external keyboard.

    You can just unplug the express and use the Uverse wireless or ethernet directly to it.

  • Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up a mac desktop and if I delete it will it affect the memory of my system which has now Maverics

    Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up all my data and having it able to get at in case of a crash, or can the icloud reset everything? Because I can not find any structured refrence, as to how it would be done. I am updated to Maverics. Also does the icloud continue if I uninstall the backup to free up space?

    MobileMe was discontinued in 2012 and all the data stored on it was deleted, and iCloud can't make backups of Macs.
    What I recommend you to make backups is to get an external drive and use Time Machine or an application like Carbon Copy Cloner. With this, you can access to your data everywhere and safely, and then, if you want, use a cloud storage service like CrashPlan. You can keep on using iCloud without backups

If so then what all activities will be performed be Informatica and what all activities will require Hadoop.2. Also for scheduling do I need to go for ActiveBatch or I can perform it be native Informatica Scheduler itself?

    Do I still need to swipe my iPhone to open it with Touch ID security? It seems like when I first activated my phone this morning, I didn't need to swipe, but now one of my settings must have been changed inadvertantly and even after I utilize the Touch ID, I need to swipe to open my phone.

  • Do we still need to use extended classic for 2-tier tender in SRM 7 ehp 1

    Hi All,
    Currently we are implement SRM 7.0 SR1 classic senario. Due to the user request for 2-tier tendering, hence we need to activate the public sector (PS) config. But PS only can work with extended classic. Which means we are doing tendering but the PO will be generate in ECC6.
    Now we are going to upgrade to SRM 7 ehp1. As I know the 2-tier tendering features will be in standard template without activating the PS config. Question here, do we still need to activate the extended classic in SRM 7 ehp 1 if finish end-to-end 2-tier tendering process and going to generate PO at ECC6.
    Best regards,
    Wind

    hello
    Check if you can implemnted the Badi BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI. In This badi you can control the scenari clasic extended and clasic.

  • Need to use pro mic with iPhone

    I'm producing a podcast with reporters throughout US and abroad. The iPhone would make perfect recorders but we need to use mics that are more professional. Is there an interface or device available to allow us to use better mics with the iPhone?

    Not really. It is theoretically possible but you would need an adaptor that could convert the standard XLR or TRS output of a higher quality mic to the specific TRRS input that the iPhone uses. From there, you would also need something with a better mic preamp that could go between the mic and this input adaptor.
    While I am aware of preamps that would work, I don't know of any adaptor that exists to get the job done. If you are looking for higher quality audio than the iPhone can produce, I would recommend using a stand alone handheld recorder for the mean time. I use and Olympus LS10 and its a great unit.

  • Do i still need to use my wireless router with Time Capusle?

    I thought that by buying a new Time Capsule (TC) for data storage and as my sole wireless hub (saving on plugs and space) i no longer need my old wireless router?
    However, it will only work via my old router?
    Tried putting my old ethernet cable into the TC (which is in fact slightly smaller than a traditional computer ethernet cable?) , which then routes to an ADSL filter and then my BT phone socket. However, my computer reads the wireless network but the TC tells me that my ethernet cable isn't plugged in properly?
    In contrast, when i connect my old router, via a traditional ethernet cable, to the TC it works fine?
    Please tell me i don't need both?
    Best
    D

    It sounds like you have an ADSL Internet connection provided by BT. Unfortunately, the TC does not have a built-in ADSL modem and it will still require one for Internet access. You would then connect the TC by Ethernet to this modem.

  • Need help using photo shop with my tshirt design

    need help

    You need to give more information. What OS? What version of Photoshop? Etc.
    If you're using Photoshop CC, then you need to have the Reference Manual:  https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf
    This forum is not necessarily a beginner's training area. You can get started with Photoshop by watching tutorial videos, trying things yourself, and finding answers to specific questions in the Reference Manual (link above).
    Here are some beginner's tutorials:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/tutorials.html
    You can also Google more advanced Photoshop tutorials, or go to Adobe.com and search for tutorials.
    Good luck.  :+)

  • Do I still need to use AC encode audio now that I have upgraded DVDSP4

    May be a stupid question but the only hits that came up on my search were from a year ago. I currently export FCP using compressor and the use AC audio (Dolby) to shrink the audio file. Has the need for this step been taken out of the work flow with my upgrade? Thanks for your help.
    CLEVE-ij

    You're shrinking the audio to make more space for the video, so that it can look better. I don't think version 4 has changed that at all. You could use the AIFF/PCM preset, but you would be taking about 1300 kbps away from the video's data rate, for the same amount of disc space.

  • Need help using 'visited' class with Colorbox

    Hi guys,
    I'm creating a site for a client that uses the Colorbox script for the store. When you click on a thumbnail of a product in the store, the browser uses Colorbox to display the external PHP page with the product information.
    This all works fine but what I would like to do is...
    When you click on a product thumbnail and it brings up the page (using Colorbox), when you close the Colorbox window and return to the thumbnails, I would like the padded background of the image to be a different color and not grey like the rest of them - so you can see which products you have looked at and which products you haven't.
    I've tried using...
    #productContainer img:visited {background-color:#0973ba;}
    ...but it didn't work.
    Click here for the link to the test site if that helps.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can achieve what I need to do?
    Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
    SM
