Ssd adapter kit

Looking for an ssd adapter kit for HP Pavilion Model HPE H8 1320T. Any Suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

In the desktop PC I am typing this on I have it set up like that. Windows 8.1 x64 is setup on the boot disk with two other disks as data drives. The desktop boots up in about 13 seconds. I have the SSD disk setup on SATA_1. I used the first available port, but the port you use is not terribly important. What is important is that you select the port it is connected ton as the first item in the boot order in BIOS. Use cloning software to migrate the entire volume on the legacy hard to the target SSD. I have used Apricot software, Samsung Magician and Paragon Hard disk copy software to accomplish that. All three products managed to shrink the volume down to a capacity that fit on the Samsung 840 EVO SSD.

External preview display via. Mini-DVI to video adapter QUESTION

Hello, I have been browsing this forum for a while, and this is my first question.
I have a Macbook Core2duo running Final Cut Pro. I purchased a Mini-DVI to S-video/composite video adapter.
I cannot get my work to preview on this external monitor. I would like to view the canvas on the monitor while working. I had this setup at school on a G5, but I cannot get it to work on my macbook. The only way apple suggests doing this is by setting up a camera via. firewire and then run from the camera to the NTSC video display (television). I would just like to do it via. mini-dvi to my television for previewing.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Morgan Bressler

From what I've been told, using the computer's video output isn't outputting a true NTSC picture. I was told when talking about how the Macbook Pros dropped the S-vdieo port that I shouldn't use that anyways, but rather to go the firewire route. THat was actually converts the video source to true NTSC instead of taking a computer output to a TV. While I have no doubt that it works, I'm willing to bet that you'll see a noticeable difference between the G5 S-video and your MB using firewire. Most consumer camcorders from the past several years do digital (firewire) to analogue (NTSC) conversion, so you probably don't even need a new box.

DVI to ADC Adapter question

I've got a Quicksilver 933 (2002) and want to get the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Video Card. I have a 17" Apple Cinema Display and want to add the new 20" Apple Display for an extended desktop. The ATI card has 2 DVI outs. I will need a DVI to ADC adapter. My question is, the adapters (see below) say they are good for connecting to DVI-D out and the 9600 card is DVI-I. Does this make a difference? Does anyone out there have experience running a set-up like this? I would hate to spend $200. on this card and $80. on the adapter only to find out I couldn't use the 17" Display.
My other choice is the 64MB ATI 9000 Pro Mac edition. (This has both a DVI out and an ADC out so I would save ~$200.) I will not be doing any gameing, just extended desktop work with Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver. Would there be any noticeable difference between the 9000 and 9600 in these activities? As always, thanks for your input.

Hi Justin,
Can I further the questioning instead of starting my
own new thread?
No, worries, Mate!
I am in a similar situation.
I have a 2003 Quicksilver 933 with dual display
currently running.
(Using a 17" Apple Display & a 17" Sony CRT).
I eventually wish to either upgrade to a 20+ cinema
display and use the 17" Apple display as my extended
desktop, but that may still be down the road a bit.
Until then, Im looking to ditch the CRT for a 15 (or
so) LCD to dave on desktop space and make an attempt
to match the 17'' Apple Display.
Ok, on to the question.
I purchased a ATI Raedon 9800Pro Mac Edition and then
noticed it only have two DVI connections. This won't
be a problem for the eventual LCD upgrade (which has
DVI connection), but I need to purchase a DVI to ADC
convertor for the 17" Apple display.
The Radeon 9800 has DVI and VGA and S-Video output, I believe. If you want to run 2 LCD monitors, one of them will have to have a VGA input (which you can't get on Apple monitors).
1) Can I expect any loss in quality/performace due to
the conversion between DVI and ADC?
No, if the adaptor funcftions properly, there is no loss from DVI to ADC.
2) I believe there are mulitple brands out there
doing this conversion. (Apple, Geffen, etc..) Any
brand looking to be more preferred over the other?
The Geffen adaptor is presently the only one which will support the 17" ADC CRT studio monitor (as well as the ADC LCD monitors).
3) With the convertor will I still be able to power
my mac on and off with the use of the display power
button?
You can power the Mac on, however, some adaptors don't allow you to power it off.
Thanks for any help.
Justin
Cheers!

DVI to ADC adapter questions ...

I just purchased a Mac Mini and decided to use my existing (and well loved) Apple display monitor. I read up on what I needed to make this happen. Purchased a used DVI to ADV adapter. The plan was to put the adapter on a switchable power strip and power down the adapter when not in use. The adapter doesn't seem to like that. I have to restart the Mac Mini a couple times in order for the monitor to boot up.
My question is ... Does the power need to remain ON constantly on the DVI to ADV adapter in order for the monitor to fire up the first time? OR am I having issues with the used adapter?
I appreciate the info and suggestions!
Mike

I believe I have figured out the solution!
It's the order the items are activated.
FIRST I start the Mac Mini ... than I turn the power strip ON for the adapter.
It seems to have fixed the issue!

Clean Install of Mavericks on new SSD - Final Question

I am looking for some help installing a new SSD into my mid-2010 Macbook Pro. I have the 15 inch with i5 and 4GB of RAM. last week I upgraded to 8GB of RAM, purchased from Crucial, and am about to install a MX100 512GB SSD also purchased from Crucial. I have read about the issues with third party drives in Yosemite and because of this I will keep Mavericks until I learn more.
My goal has been to get the new SSD into the computer and treat it like a brand new computer completely clean. This I learned was considered a "Clean InstalI". I am not very good with computers and sometimes the discussions I've read on the internet can generalize things and not define each step like a complete novice like me would need. So I have done a lot of research and below have a step by step guide on how I intend to do a clean install of the operating system onto my new SSD. I am looking for validation that this is correct or any steps I need to adjust.
I had asked a question about 2 months ago that lead me into the direction of doing the clean install. Drew helped out quite a bit and got me started on researching what I need to do for this clean install. There were some comments I had a question with. His notes are in italics and my questions are in bold.
During install use Setup Assistant (it's basically the same as Migration Assistant).
Connect the old HD (Can I connect to my external HD that backed up my old HD via Time Machine?) & choose the option to migrate the User account (leave the applications & other data disabled). (what happens if I opt to not do this step, not migrating User account information, what would be the Pros / Cons... another basic question I guess would be what exactly is in these User Accounts... anything that if I did not migrate over would give me issues?)
When completed you will have the same user on the new disk.
The Applications are left on the old disk, it's better to reinstall them in my opinion.
now on to by guide I compiled...
My Step by Step guide that if confirmed on here I will move forward with! Very excited and hope I got this correct.

after this step is the installation complete?
what will be on the new SSD?
iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band, QuickTime player etcwill these need to be re-downloaded from the App store etc
Logic Pro X, Toontracks, Fluenz etc.these I need to re-download from the sites using serial keys etc. (I have decided to just buy the new Logic Pro X so that I can do the clean install and leave my old Logic Express behind where I have lost the disc that came with it)
From here I can connect my external 1TB drive that had my previous HD backed up on it and pick and choose what songs, movies, pictures, documents etc that I want to drag onto my new SSD
DONE !! ??
Sorry for the long post. Wouldn't make sense not to reach out to this awesome community though. Thanks again for all the help. I realize I am responding to an old post so I may end up re-posting this as a new topic.

...However the simplicity of using Time Machine to migrate over to the new SSD is very alluring. I have found a link that talks about the Pros and Cons. Do you think they summarize things very well?...
Your link makes very interesting reading. One thing that jumps out is how an old HD's installation and Time Machine are equated. Time Machine is a remarkable system, simple on the outside and complex under the hood (this is the fundamental resource on the subject, created by a Community member who is sorely missed). But it doesn't play well with certain types of files (virtual machine files for running Windows, etc., on a Mac for example) and has, in my experience at least, lost some files after briefly saving them. Your old HD, on the other hand, is both complete and current, making it a better source IMHO to migrate from.
The point about older software no longer being compatible is well taken, but I tend to keep older versions long after newer versions appear and I've been surprised at how well they continue to function after the publisher insists they're no longer supported by a newer OS (and are sometimes better than what replaces them). And in the case of commercial software, associated files are often sprinkled far and wide, perhaps to prevent easy pirating. Moreover, while keeping track of serial numbers is always a good idea, many publishers limit the number of installations and entering the S/N over again usually involves the program phoning home to check on the installation count so far. Cloning avoids that more effectively than migrating.

Upgrading my MBP to SSD today, question...

So, my plan is to fresh install Lion on it when I get it, but my question is this. Am I better off, since I'm using a fresh Lion install to also install all my apps from scratch instead of using the migration assistant after Lion is installed? Is it irrelevant? (I have noticed that when I delete programs, the amount of space they should free up, they seem not to, so was thinkin fresh installs of everything would give me back some space?)
Also, any reason not to delete the printer driver file (~2.0gb) and just install the one driver I need?
Any other space saving tips that might help me out on my new SSD (going from 320 to 180gb)?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Mail adapter question

I have a question regarding the mail adapter scenario. Firstly data goes to ECC and some validations are performed and if there are any errors, ECC will provide me with some indicator saying this record has errors.
Now, the same structures are used in the opposite direction and I have to count the number of error records based of that and send that info as an email. If I created a UDF to count the number of error records, how do I put that information in the email ?
Is there anyway, I can capture that info in the mail adapter ?
Any useful links will be appreciated.

being from a Java background is that every method/function declaration is supposed to have the return type and I was told that behind the scenes Java is being run which is why I assumed that thats a return type.Again, I am fairly new and I am in the process of learning things.
For simple UDF (cache = Value), returns string.
For advanced UDF (Cache = Context or Queue), returns array of strings.
The problem is I did not understand the use of ResultList class in this case.

use queue execution types but I am a little bit confused as to the usage of that.
Because of u201Cqueueu201D function, the arguments that we define automatically become arrays, because PI is assuming that we want to operate on multiple input values with this function. That's the reason you are able to traverse through each and every value of the field "ecode".
Any useful example would be appreciated.

JDBC adapter questions

Hello all,
I have been playing around with the JDBC adapter on my XI sandbox to figure it out. I read through a few guides and I almost have a good handle on it, but there is still a big question lingering. I have configured an example scenario in which I would like to pull data out of the USR01 table from the XI database and transform some user data and place it back in the same table. I was able to get my connections correct and have the communication channel successfully execute SQL statements to alter the data. For example, my <b>Query SQL Statement</b> in the sender communication channel is as follows:
SELECT * FROM USR01 WHERE BNAME='ZTEST2'
And the <b>Update SQL Statement</b> in the sender communication channel is:
UPDATE USR01 SET BNAME='ZTEST' WHERE BNAME='ZTEST2'
This works fine and when I go to transaction se16 and pull up that table I see that the username gets modified when the interface is activated. However, I haven't really figured out exactly how to configure the communication channel / data types so that I can run a SQL statement that will populate my data type that I created for mapping. In other words, lets say I created a data type that looks as follows:
mt_sender
    row
         MANDT
         BNAME
         STCOD
And I want to populate that data type with data from the USR01 table (in the corresponding fields), what would my SQL statement look like in the sender communication channel? I read a few weblogs on how to do scenarios like this, so I built my receiving Data Type to look like this:
mt_receiver
     STATEMENT
          ROW
               action
               TABLE
               access
                    MANDT
                    BNAME
                    STCOD
But I still don't understand how exactly XI correlates the data types / mapping and transformations to the SQL statements....
I'm having a hard time putting this into words, but basically I'm asking a rather high level question I think. How does XI relate the data types to the data it pulls from the SQL statements? How do I actually get the SQL statement to populate my data types so I can do mapping and then repopulate the database table again? Does this make sense?

T430 Multiple Monitor question

Real simple question.
Will a T430 with the Intel HD Graphics card support both a monitor connected to the VGA port AND a monitor connected to the Mini DisplayPort simultaneously?
My User will have a desktop monitor and a wall mounted large screen display connected at the same time, and I just want to ensure I will be able to use both ports to each drive one monitor.
(they won't let us buy a port replicator or dock...because then apparently everyone would want one)

Only of the internal LCD is closed.

File adapter questions (beginner)

Hi everyone,
I two questions on two topics about file adapter.
1. I have set up a File adapter for a CSV file to be the input file of my process. Now I would like to have an XML file as the input file, but the content is always ignored.
here is the XSD :
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="urn:Employees" xmlns="urn:Employees">
<xs:element name="Employee" type="EmployeeType"/>
<xs:simpleType name="InitialType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="1"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="AgeType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
<xs:minInclusive value="18"/>
<xs:maxInclusive value="50"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:complexType name="EmployeeType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="EmployeeID" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="FirstName" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="MiddleInitial" type="InitialType"/>
<xs:element name="LastName" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="age" type="AgeType"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
And now the sample XML file :
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<Employees>
<Employee>
<EmployeeID>1</EmployeeID>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<MiddleInitial>N</MiddleInitial>
<LastName>Smith</LastName>
<age>24</age>
</Employee>
<Employees>
How can I do that ? Do I need the Oracle XML Gateway ?
2. In the BPEL console, I can trace the successfull processes. Alright ... But when I put in a file with the wrong format (eg: missing fields), the process does not even appear in the console. How can I trace them ? (completionPersistPolicy is "on").
Thank you :)

I'm interested in 2 question (missing fields) too.

3rd Party AC-Adapter Question

I bought a 3rd Party AC-Adapter for my iPhone and I have a quick question.
I know the iPhone is required to charge w5 volts and not more, but it says on the box that the *Output DC* is 12V, but it also says 5V DC (regulated). Is this okay? Can I trust it to charge my iPhone? Will it affect the battery meter in anyway?

Apple was very slow to license its proprietary MagSafe connector to other manufacturers, though it appears they've finally done so now. For the longest time, it was just impossible to find anyone selling third-party MagSafe adapters, and those who did were clearly buying Apple adapters at full price and cutting the plugs off them. It made their products exorbitantly expensive. That's no longer the case; you can find junk MagSafe adapters online now for less than $25. I wouldn't buy one, but you may want to consider that option.

Battery adapter question

What does it mean when the adapter for the battery turns orange and then green and keeps flashing like that?

Orange means the battery is charging. Green means the battery is fully charged. The charging circuitry turns off once the battery is fully charged and will not turn on until the charge level drops below 95 percent.
If the light is constantly changing between orange and green then it means the battery is either not holding a charge or the control circuitry is not functioning properly.
You can try two things:
Have you ever calibrated the battery? If not that should be the first thing you try. The second thing to try is to reset the power management unit. If this doesn't resolve the problem take the computer in for repair (or replacement of the battery if that's the only problem.)

Http adapter question

This may be a very stupid question but, I have set up a http adapter but i am unsure of the syntax used to post the data to it via a URL. Each different way, i keep getting a Bad Syntax status. If I post the address of the TransportServerlet in a browser, I do get the settings displayed, but I just can't send data to it.

Hi,
I may not be able to reply to your question, cause actually i have a question for you. How did you use the HTTP adapter.Cause in Jdeveloper i dont find the adpter in the services list. So please tell me how did you get the HTTP adpater.Did you install it explicitly?
