The BEST solution for gmail on the iPhone

OK, so after much poking around, I finally figured out the best solution for using gmail on the iPhone: IMAP support.
While I think Google is still rolling this out to all users, once you get it, USE IT! It basically keeps your mail app synced with gmail, and even supports the use of folders/labels.
To see if your gmail account is ready for IMAP, go to the settings option in gmail and see if one of the tabs says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." If you don't have IMAP available on your account yet, it won't say IMAP.
Here's some links to get you started:

I hope this helps out everyone as much as it's helped me. I was a little frustrated before using POP, but gotta love IMAP! I'm not too sure the impact that this has on your battery life, but so far it's working well for me. Enjoy!

Gmail and IMAP have totally change my tune about the iPhone's email abilities. I was getting frustrated with the inability to reliably get mail (Message has not been downloaded...), sync (have to delete mail from both iPhone and desktop Mac), etc., but now I have all my POP email accounts automatically forward to my Gmail account, and I only check Gmail with the iPhone and MacPro. So far, it's a whole new iPhone experience! No more errors - ALL mail comes through perfectly - and no need to manually sync!
Note that, when setting up the Gmail/IMAP accounts, do NOT simply update your old POP Gmail settings on your Mac or iPhone! Start with a FRESH new account. I couldn't get either the iPhone or Mac to work until I started with a fresh account.
Also, I was unable to send mail from the iPhone using the smtp.gmail address, so I had changed the outgoing mail setting to use my regular ISP's smtp address. But, at some point (a few minutes later or a few hours, I don't know) when I checked the Gmail settings on the iPhone, it had magically changed itself to smtp.gmail, with the port number, and it has been working perfectly ever since! Maybe IMAP can atomatically correct this info? Not sure.
One more thing. Once you have Gmail IMAP working, then you MUST go here:
http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862
Follow these directions exactly. This is a necessary set of steps in order to make your iPhone and Mac sync correctly, so that trashed mail on the iPhone will go in the trash on your desktop Mac, etc. It's pretty freaky to check email on the iPhone, and then go to your Mac Mail a few minutes later, and see all the newly trashed (or saved/read) emails perfectly synched up!
A final note. Once this is all working and synching, remember that if you delete an email on your iPhone, it gets deleted on the desktop Mac Mail as well (and vice-versa)... which is exactly what you want to happen, but I find that I have to remember to keep the mail that I want to save on the iPhone's inbox until I get back to my desktop Mac. Otherwise, I have to manually remove it from the trash to save it!

  • SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

    Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
    Current Setup
    SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
    Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
    Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
    This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
    Requirement
    A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
    C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
    Solution - What I believe are available to me
    I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
    Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
    Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Steve

    for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
    Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above).  you can only do read only.
    IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
    also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
    Hope it Helps!!

  • What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • What is the best solution for running windows based programs

    I have one program that I need windows for.  What is the best solution for doing this without painfully slowing down my mac.

    Depends on your needs.
    BootCamp requires reboot and uses all physical resources of the system.  Only OSX *or* Windows can run.  Better for gaming or memory intensive tasks.  BootCampAssistant must set up the boot sector to make it work.  Also BCA required to remove it.
    VM (virtual machine) like Parallels which "hosts" Windows while still running OSX.  You split RAM between the two environments.  VM is just another program so no special boot sector changes needed, but not good for graphics or RAM intensive programs.
    Other recommended alternates to Parallels (paid) are VM Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free download from Oracle.com).

  • What is teh best solution for my Problem??

    hello everyone
    i'am planing to develop a Patient Management System (PMS)
    since i 'm not that guru in the J technologies i would like you to get me some help with this decision:
    what is the best solution for developeing an intranet "PMS" which should handles data (connection to postgresql) and runs some algorithm (for planing puropose) im background ??
    1 developeing a web based solution (servlet and jsp and and ..)
    2 developeing an application wich will be manging everything ??? (a kind of programm with its own GUI)
    3 you may have an other idea solution and ill be gald for any advices
    ps sorry for my english its not that great ;)

    Web applications are all the rage these days and IMO rightly so as they greatly reduce deployment cost and headaches.
    They do have some drawbacks though which for you might be important.
    I can imagine that sooner or later (probably sooner in my experience) a requirement to interface with hardware installed on the client machines will emerge.
    Whether this is a barcode scanner or a chipcard reader to get client information from some form of card issued to the client, or maybe a label printer to print out labels for medication bottles doesn't matter, you need to access the client machine directly.
    Web applications have great difficulty with that (in fact, it's all but impossible).
    You could go for an applet solution but that's contrived at best and still leaves the same problems.
    So in your situation an old-fashioned client/server application (maybe using web services to communicate with the serverside application) is likely the best longterm solution.
    You'd have the database remote so everyone has access to the same data, being accessed through processes run on the server and called by the clients. These can also do most of the business logic, leaving the clients relatively dumb responsible mainly for data validation and entry and presentation of the results.

  • Best solution for media storage

    Hi Everyone,
    I am looking for suggestions/how-to on the best setup for media storage. We have two editors (and two computers - Mac Pro PowerPC and iMac Intel). We are currently using an internal 500 GB slot on the Mac Pro along with 1 additional external 1.5 TB drive. Then, on our iMac we use a 1.5 TB external drive. We use, for external drives, LaCie.
    Here's our problem. We are running out of space. So, what is the best solution for media storage? Should we get a small rack for our external drives from LaCie and daisy chain them? Or, should we get a server? The only problem I have with a server is connection speed...we, most of the time, have a slow connection at our college.
    p.s. here is a link to LaCie's website listing a rack...and we have the d2 drives. So, do you daisy chain them or plug each one in individually?
    http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10172
    Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Everyone!
    Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree...Drobo looks great, but I am finding more and more bad news when it comes to editing. It looks like a great solution for archiving. I received another solution with great reviews from one of my colleagues contacts. They work for a big company.
    Hope this helps...something else to add to the mix.
    *Our edit suite storage solution is a Facilis Terrablock 24EX unit. (http://www.facilis2.com/24ex.html) It has 18TB of space and is connected on 4GB Fibre channel to both suites. On top of that we have an Apple X-Serve running Final Cut Server that sorts and catalogs all the video we put in so network users (Mac and PC) can search and look at media from their workstations. We just put this in a few months ago. Before that we had a Rorke Data Galaxy HDX with 6TB of space on a 2GB Fibre Channel connection. ( http://www.rorke.com/av/galaxy-hdx.cfm ) It’s now a backup storage unit. Both systems have excellent performance though, we upgraded mostly for space and the server software.*
    Again, thank you all for your help. I will research all suggestions.

  • Best Solution for Archiving Table data

    Hi All,
    I have a table with huge data. It is not partitioned table.
    On an average per day 10000 records will be inserted into this table. Now I want to archive(backup)
    every one years data manually and keep in safe location and hence delete those archived rows
    from the table. Whenever required it should be easily imported back to this table. All this happens through
    Application.
    One appraoch in my mind right now, is transferring the data from table to flat file with comma separted,
    and whenever required again importing back to the table from Flat file using external tables concept.
    Can any body suggest what is best solution for this.
    Thanks

    The best solution would be partitioning.
    Any other solution requires DML - running DELETE and INSERT transactions to remove a data set and to add a data set (if need be) again.
    With partitioning this is achieved (in sub-seconds) using DDL by exchanging a partition's contents with that of a table. Which means that after the archived data has been loaded (SQL*Loaded, Import, etc) into a table (and indexes created), that table (with indexes) is "swapped" into the partition table as a partition.

  • What is best solution for backup ?

    Our environment consisted of RAC (2 nodes). we are trying to back up our database using RMAN with NetBackup.
    we also have other different databases need to be backed up.
    In RAC case, what is best solution for backing up the database ?
    As I mentioned above, we are using RMAN for backup our RAC with NetBackup.
    Actually, the RMAN is not simple utility for me.
    Is there any other way to back up the database in our situation without rman.
    I need some advice from all of you.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin
    There are many possible ways to backup your database. You must decide the one that suits your environment.
    Following is the list of options that you have.
    1. Take Online Backups
    Issue this command to freeze tablespaces
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname BEGIN BACKUP;
    Copy all the files belonging to this tablespace to your backup location using OS commands.
    Release the tablespace by using this command.
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname END BACKUP;
    To find the data files belonging to a particular tablespace you can issue this statement
    SQL>SELECT file_name, tablespace_name FROM dba_data_files ORDER BY tablespace_name;
    2. If your db size is not BIG then you can take logical backups. Logical Backups can be FULL or incremental. In 10g you can have filesets to spilit your logical backups in more than one file with specified sizes. (By Logical Backups I mean EXPORT).
    To take export for example issue this command.
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp file=fullpath+filename.dmp log=fullpath+logfilename.log FULL=Y userid=system/pwd@dbconnectstring
    To get full list of export parameters type
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp help=y
    3. RMAN (Strongly recommended) but you ruled out its possibility so I won't elaborate on that.
    4. COLD BACKUP
    To perform this type of backup you will need to shutdown your database by issuing this command.
    SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    (On RAC you will need to shutdown all the instances before copying files to the backup location).
    Use OS copy command to copy files to backup location.
    (This method is not recommended as it will flush your SGA and your client will complain about performance for the first few hours).
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Rgds

  • Best Solution For Automatic Cache Refresh

    Hello SDN,
            I need to know the best solution for automatic cahe update so that we donot get a runtime cache error in SXI_CACHE.We scheduled SAI_CACHE_REFRESH After every 1 minute, But is it the best solution???

    We have had a look at the "how to Guide on Cache" also.But if we want an automatic refresh after every object is activated whats the best solution.
    It works with this but we want to know if there is a better solution or maybe even an implication on using this, as we did not find any documentation on SAI_REFRESH_CACHE.

  • Best solutions for artwork that is missing?

    What are the best solutions for artwork that is missing? I've heard of Rinse. Are there any risk of damage to my music database if I use any of theses?

    Compressors and limiters are great tools . . . just be careful not to overuse them.
    Too much will squeeze the life out of your sound, especially if it is going to be broadcast and therefore compressed/limited again.

  • Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4

    Hi guys
    I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
    My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
    What they do and want
    - edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
    - use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
    - needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
    Existing Setups on work stations:
    Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
    4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
    Highend motherboards
    GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
    GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
    1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
    Software:
    Windows XP 32 bit
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
    AE CS3
    etc..
    Running NOD32 Antivirus
    I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
    I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
    I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
    again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
    with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
    1) is this the right move?
    2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
    Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
    as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
    Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
    regards to all

    in a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
    Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
    there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
    if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
    renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
    and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
    it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
    without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
    in terms of rendering
    Core i7
    Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
