Suggestions for upgrading ODAC version

Earlier today I downloaded the "64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 4 (11.2.0.3.0) Xcopy for Windows x64" software package. As per the instructions, I also downloaded the 32-bit "ODAC 11.2 Release 4 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.3.0)" installation files. I'm not sure where to start, though.
I already have the following Oracle products installed....
- a single Oracle home (Oracle 11g client),
- an Oracle 11g Release 2 XE database server, and
- the 64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (11.2.0.2.1) in an Xcopy installation/deployment.
I am using the Oracle.DataAccess library in some existing web applications and while I really want to try out the Entity Framework support in the new version of ODAC, I want to make absolutely sure that I don't screw anything up while getting this new version installed.
Do I need to uninstall any of the existing Oracle software? I've read the install guide and the FAQ but cannot figure out what's the recommended approach in this sort of situation. Any and all constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Christian. Trying the 32-bit ODAC installer first seems as though it might still cause a few problems since it will update the VS2010 tooling. As a result, any projects I'm working on right now could be affected, right?You need to upgrade the tools to be able to use the Entity Designer. You don't have much choice if you want to use Entity Framework.
Also, I'm still unclear on un -installing existing ODAC versions....is that needed? Can I have them side-by-side and then just reference the appropriate versions of the Oracle.DataAccess libraries? Yes you can have the side by side.
The biggest thing for me is making sure that this sort of upgrade doesn't break existing projects and applications. Also, I'd hate to upgrade my local machine and then run into issues when >updating the servers hosting our existing apps that depend on the Oracle.DataAccess libraries.Maybe you should do your experimentation on another machine or in a virtual machine until you feel more comfortable with everything. We make it possible to have different versions of ODP.NET side by side, and this well documented in our documentation. But of course if you make a mistake, you could break things.

What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
There was some confusion today that still persists:
(1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
(2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
Thanks,
doug

This has been discussed a number of times here already.
The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
You have 2 choices:
1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.

Suggestions for Upgrading Hard Drive

I'm looking to upgrade my internal Hard Drive in my Macbook Pro. The current internal hard drive is the 250 GB hard drive that came with the computer. I want to upgrade to an internal hard drive of at least 320 GB or more. Does anyone have any suggestions as where to look for an upgrade? Or does anyone have any suggestions for a good, reliable internal hard drive that will work for me?
Thanks!

The largest notebook drive currently available is 500 GBs. Drives may be purchased at:
MacSales.com
Buy.com
NewEgg.com
And, many other online vendors. Any SATA notebook drive should work. If you don't have a Unibody MBP, then the drive height must not exceed 9.5 mm. Choose 5400 RPM drives for economy or 7200 RPM drives for higher speed and performance. Manufacturers include Samsung, Toshibs, Hitachi, Seagate, Western Digital, and Fujitsu. For performance comparisons and benchmarks visit Bare Feats, Storage Review, or Tom's Hardware Review.

Suggestions for upgrading system

I have a Palm Tungsten E2 =, which is showing it's wear and is synced to my XP system.
I tried to upgrade to my Vista machine, but don't want to buy another gadget to make it work there, so I want to upgrade.
I currently have a Verizon cell phone - which only offers basic phone book.
What I want to know - can someone suggest a phone/palm combo that will be able to somehow import all of my info from my xp computer (via email of the file? to save to my vista machine?) that I will then be able to open and use on the 'new phone/pda - I don't want to carry around 2 devices anymore, if that's possible!
I'm no geek, but consider myself somewhat tech savvy - they eyes just can't spend the hours trying to find the info on the web, so I thought I'd ask some of the 'experts' on this forum. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

To find out what version Windows you have installed, go to the computer icon on the PC desktop or from the start menu, right click the icon and go to properties. On the general tab look for the version, it should state if it is 64bit.
Palm OS is not compatible with the Windows contacts and mail program. You need to sync with either Palm desktop or Outlook 2003 or higher. If you want to move the data to Windows contacts and mail, you can export data from palm desktop in several different formats. You can export the contacts in csv format and import into windows contacts. The calendar can export in vcal format and import into windows calendar.
In order to get your data to Vista, if the data is current and correct on the E2, you can sync to Vista without sync'ing to XP. Another option is to export the data from the XP PC and import into Palm desktop on the Vista PC if the E2 is not current.
Here is a procedure for exporting the data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

Suggestions for upgrading 3 Mac Pro FCP edit stations

I want to upgrade our three Mac Pro (Power PC) FCP5 edit stations. Our Mac Pro G5s currently access a Xraid/Xserve/Xsan fiber network. There seems to be plenty of speculation out there that Apple is discontuing the Mac Pro line and FCP X is not compatible with our exisitng projects - which number in the hundreds. So, I might be leaning toward new high-end iMacs using FCP7 but I'm not sure how to network them and share FCP projects. Any suggestions on where to go from here are appreciated. Thanks.

*** Fibre Channel
Probably the most important thing that you'll be losing on an iMac is the Fibre Channel connection; however, Promise Technologies has their SANLink - Fibre Channel adapter using Thunderbolt Technology (I don't know if it's actually shipping yet),
Here's the product link:
http://www.promise.com/storage/raid_series.aspx?region=en-global&m=192&rsn1=40&r sn3=49
The upside here is that if this adapter works as expected, you could use any Mac with Thunderbolt (all the current models have it). Even though the Mac mini is the least powerful of the Apple line, it's a huge performace leap over a PowerMac G5 and the Mac mini supports both a computer display via its Thunderbolt/Display PortMini and a HDMI TV via its HDMI out. This takes perfect advantage of FCP Digital Cinema Desktop modes.
*** Which version of FCP do you own?
Another issue is going to be your FCP software installers (which I'm sure you're already aware of). Your PowerMac G5s must be running Final Cut Pro 6 or older as 6 was the last version to run on a PowerPC. And Final Cut Pro 5 was the first version that could be installed on an Intel based Mac.
In theory, FCP5, 6 or 7 will run on an intel Mac, however, the current Mac OS and support for it is probably going to be your biggest issue for everything that curently works as expected on your G5s.
The upgrade from FCP 5 to 6 or 7 is as easy as it gets other than having to order Final Cut Pro Studio 3 directly from Apple (last I read, they're still selling it if you call them with the part number and you say you need it for exisiting projects).
*** Do you use 3rd party capture cards like the Blackmagic-Designs Decklink? Blackmagic makes a Thunderbolt replacement which should work fine on its own, but will need to be carefully tested with the Fibre Channel adapter.
Be ready to be on the phone with tech support, checking user forums, and make sure you can take anything that you're purchased back.

Suggestions for Upgrading to iPod Touch v 1.1.1

This is the procedure I used and it worked without a single hiccup:
1.  Disconnect the Touch from the Computer (Unplug the USB connector from the Touch, NOT from the Computer).
2.  Reset and Erase (Two Seperate items) everything on the Touch.  In essence, you are restoring the Touch to the factory specs, the way it was out of the box, NEW.  Make sure the battery is fully charged.
3.  Start iTunes and Download and Install the new version, which is v 7.4.3.1.  After the download and install Reset your Computer.
4.  Start the NEW version of iTunes.  Now turn off all of the following:  A.  Screen Saver,  B.  Firewall,   C.  Anti-Virus Program, D.  Ensure ALL programs have stopped before proceeding!
5.  Connect the Touch to the Computer via the USB connector.  iTunes should be opened and ready for you.  As soon as iTunes recognizes the Touch and you see it on the left side column, highlight/select the Touch and go through each tab and TURN OFF ALL Syncing!  Do this quick, you do not want any sync's at this time.
6.  Go to the first Touch screen within iTunes and now select the upgrade.  It will then download and install automatically.  Their should be minimal if any assistance needed during this phase.
7.  Upon completing the upgrade and subsequent installation, your Touch will reset itself.  After the reset, turn on the Touch.  Proceed to the SETTINGS and then GENERAL and then ABOUT.   The 6th line down, you'll see your NEW version 1.1.1.
8.  Now sync up the TOUCH and do what ever you do with your TOUCH!  ENJOY!!!
Summation:  If you follow these steps and do NOT take a short cut, all of your upgrade wows should be but a distant memory!  Take your time and get it right the first time!
I followed these steps and my Touch upgraded without a single hiccup.  Since the upgrade this unit has been FLAWLESS (Knock on wood), with any problems what so ever!
Good Luck!!!
Gunny
PS: I do not think I missed anything, but if some one thinks I did please let me know!

Go to:
SETTINGS
RESET
RESET ALL SETTINGS
ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS (This will do both, but I always try the Reset Setting alone first to see if it resolves the problem. If not, I move to Erase All Content)

Elite e9150t - upgrading coolingfan/heatsink and power supply (suggestions for upgrade?)

Hey guys,
I don't know why I didn't come here first, but here I am.
Basically, I have the HP elite e9150t model. Great computer... I've already upgraded a few things, but I am looking to do another little upgrade and would love to get some input. It's also Windows 8.1 Pro.
Alright, I've upgraded the ram to two 8gb kingston chips. I've also upgraded the video card to a GeForce 660 GTX. Now I am looking to upgrade my power supply and cooling unit. I've been running into problems where my computer will start to overheat when playing games. I can render out things easily enough with 3D software like Maya, but games make the system chug. That's why I've decided to upgrade the cooling unit and figured I should do the same for my power supply as well since it still has the 460w unit. I'd love to get this ugpraded to the point that I can play games with high settings and not worry about my computer dying on me from heat related injuries. I'm not looking to play games like Watch Dogs at the highest setting. I'd LOVE to have that, but I doubt I could squeeze that out right now. I would, however, love to play a game like Wildstar on their ultra setting (which I feel should be doable with my system).
Also, I am pretty much ignorant when it comes to computer hardware. When I say this, I am not exaggerating. I really have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this part of computers. Here are the two items that were suggested to me. Keep in mind, that I am on a budget right now (starting a new job next week after graduating this past week), so this is about what I can afford (this ~price range). I've also added a fan to the side panel of the computer (well I didn't, but the guy I bought it from did).
First is the power supply:
XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Active PFC Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013
550 Watt for ~$25 after rebate. Can't beat that and the people that recommended it were saying that it's made by a great company (SeaSonic?)
And the cooling unit:
Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103182&cm_re=Cooler_Master_Hyper_T4-_-35-10...
It was actually suggested I get the TX3, but I saw that the TX3 does not support LGA 1336 that the HP has.
1) Case size: I've tried googling what type of case I have because it seems like that is the jelly to any peanut butter question on power supplies and/or cooling units. Will my suggested items fit in the case I have? It looks like a tight fit in there, so I don't know how well they'll fit.
2) Are the recommended items good: Again, I don't know anything about this stuff and am going purely off recommendations. Are these the items that I do need?
3) Another thing bugging me about the video card: Not exactly on topic, but I have the GeForce card in there right now and it's huge. I also have a sound card, but the way the PCI slots are setup, I have to put the sound card directly over the GeForce card (and the Geforce card has a fan on top of it blowing up). This has the heat blowing directly to the sound card. I don't know if this is what I want to do? I read somewhere that I want the video card closest to the heatsink? Could I reverse the order and have the sound card below the video card and still get away with it? It's a nice sound card and it's being wasted right now (not even in the computer).
Alright, thanks guys. I know I wrote a **bleep** essay here, but I wanted to be detailed as possible. Thanks again for those that stuck through the whole thing lol...

Hi,
I suggest that you do some measuring from the top of the processor to bottom of the removable side panel. You need this measurement to determine if your chosen heat sink cooling will fit.
When you install the new power supply then install it fan up pointing to top so that is draws cool air into the power supply from the top side air intake vents. Measure your existing power supply and look for a high efficiency model with a large fan that will fit in your PC. If you can find a PSU with a 140 mm fan that will fit then go for it.
Additional cooling ideas: PCI slot cooling fan and vented PCI slot covers.
Your particular PC probably has a single width graphics just link my e9280t (same cabinet and mobo).
BTW--the truckee mobo is not spec'd for 8 GB dimms.
You have made lots of changes already to your PC so saying that you know very little appears to be underestimating your own ablities.

Need suggestions for upgrading my hard drive...(700 gigs, completely full.)

I like having a large internal drive. I want to buy one of those Western Digita 2 Terabyte SATA drives and put it in.
Problem is, I'd need a way to time-machine the 700 gig drive first. And for that I'd need an external 700gig drive. And a lot of free time.
Any suggestions?

All you need to do is connect an external drive to your iMac and run Time Machine, if you are going to put a 2 TB drive inside your iMac you are not going to get any much larger than 2 TB right now. My recommendation is to rethink the way you store things. I would recommend instead of one large internal drive to get 2 external drives, all being FW 800 for speed. You could do something like this.
External HD #1 used as a bootable clone to the internal drive. This drive does not need to be large, less than 100 GB would be fine. You can create a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
External HD #2, move most of your data from the internal drive to this drive. If you get a FW 800 drive as recommended you will still have plenty of speed and most likely not perceive any loss in performance.
External HD #3, use this as your Time Machine Drive. This doesn't have to be FW 800 but it does make it easier if it is because you can daisy chain all the external drives together.
It's not cheap but it is a more efficient way to work in my opinion.

Roger

Suggestion for upgrade

I have mac os x v10.5.8 And i want to upgrade, any idea what version should i upgrade to?
Thank you

We need to know which Mac you wish to upgrade. Go to Apple Menu, About this Mac, and More information. Under hardware get the model info.

My PC (XP, 2 GHz Celeron, 768 M ram) does not meet the minimum requirements for upgrade to version 6, so how can I stop Firefox from nagging me to upgrade?

I would LIKE to install version 6, but since my machine (XP, 2 GHz Celeron, 768 M ram) does not meet the system requirements there is no reason to continue the annoying nag screens.

Suggestion for the next version of Safari

Hi folks, hope some programmer read this topic
I think that Safari should have some function that allows the user to manage a webpage like if it was an editable text.
From long time ago, Internet is *The Source of Knowledge*, it's a huge library where we can study but we cannot highlight the text on the webpages and save it like we can do with a text file. So, if we take a webpage as a page of some study book, we should be able to highlight text and why not, converting normal fonts to bold, italic, underlined or changing text size and color in the selected text in order to pop up certain parts of the text. Just like when we're writing into a text file or like when we're writing in forums using HTML codes to modify how the text will look. And also, why not adding the ability to add some notes in order to write some commentaries we may have about the lecture?
I find pretty useful saving to my favs certain webpages that I usually consult when I need it, and I also do it in categories, thanks to the amazing folder structure that Safari has, but I also need to highlight some part of the text found in the webpages in order to make it easy to find that part of text that I need in a particular moment. Due that any Internet Browser allows these kind of things, I'm forced to copy the content of the website to a text document and there, doing the modifications but by doing it that way, it creates too much text files that I have to browse through folders and sub-folders while inside Safari, browsing webpages is much easier, faster and comfortable.
I think this maybe possible by adding some kind of layout over the webpage (like a virtual copy of the webpage), because the webpage isn't editable itself, that allows the pertinent editions.
Something like CopyWrite but without leaving Safari and specially for webpages.
Thanks in advance,
Ø3

Agree, would be nice to have this built-in to the product. In the meantime, in case you're not already aware - there's a very nice LR plugin (donation-ware) that does this and more:

Suggestions for upgrading from 4.5-- 6.0

In the old days only clean installs were recommended. Is it still best to remove FCP 4.5 and DVD 3 before installing 6.0 and 4? Actually, if it wouldn't confuse the OS, I would like to leave them both on the system. (When I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.5 I had them both running, without any problems, while I was testing the upgrade.) Please advise.

Well, Apple's advice is specifically not to that.

A few suggestions for the next version of Acrobat.

Every time I use a portfolio in Acrobat, I have to click through a large number of folders
Although many of them have no content.
It would be good if there would be a number of the documents on the folder .So I would not have to open the folder, if there would be no document at all.

1) Drag&Drop. A simple drag&drop in Pages: select a text, drag&drop it somewhere else.
I've been doing this for years in AppleWorks & Pages (1, 2 & 3) & Mail, etc. The trick is to hold the cursor on the selected text for a second or so until the cursor changes to an arrow, then move the text.
2) Option-left or right arrow, bring us to the next word. How about Command-left or right key, to take us to the end or beginning of the line (like in Word).
Again, this has been in AppleWorks & Pages & Mail, etc. for years. Also, Command + up arrow goes to the top of the document, Command + down arrow goes to the end. Option + up or down arrow goes to the beginning of the previous or next paragraph.
I don't know why these wouldn't work for you.
#3, I'm not sure. Why don't you ask in the Numbers forum?

Suggestions for smartband

I tried the smartband during a match of badminton and I start to wondering if all of my steps actually was recorded.
Does this work as some pedometers, that they don't count if you just take for ex. 5 steps. You have to do more steps to get them recorded?
If that is the cas I would suggest a sport mode that counts every step. I mean sometimes I don't take many steps during a point in badminton but I think they should be counted if you look at the complete workout for let's say an hour.
(I don't have the band on my racket-hand)
Another suggestion for the next version is GPS tracking in he smartband. Woulod be great just using the band while running, and then get the result when it syncs with the phone at home.
Is it possible to get the smartband to work with Runkeeper ein the near future?

I would say that it does eliminate steps when they are not full, or if there aren't several in rapid succession. To be honest though, if you want to track badminiton, you should probably forget about a glorified pedometer, and get a HR monitor. That is going to give you a far better idea of the activity and it's affect on your fitness. You aren't going to get any quantifiable results using one of these to track a badminiton match.
The GPS thing, just take your phone with you while you run. Lifelog tracks your movements via GPS, you'll get exactly what you are looking for, and an armband is pretty unintrusive (to put phone in).
Also, if you want to track badminiton with a tracker, you should probably look into a Moov, that seems to be the product you want.
