  • Apple's Tip of the week - Two Seconds to Sleep anomaly

    Apple states in its tip of the week
    "Tip of the Week
    Two Seconds to Sleep
    Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound — nuthin’ — just fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn’t get much faster than that."
    at URL http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/quicksleep.html
    I tried this on my 2x 2.5 GHz PowerMac G5 and it gave my computer fits.
    First it took 5 seconds to goto sleep and then immediately wakes up again. Not only this but it corrupted my Safari in as much as clicking on any web link would cause a download of the HTML and then after deleting the downloaded file and quitting the Safari download window all the Safari web pages being displayed or active in Dock would terminate and disappear. I had to restart the computer to regain some sanity. It was repeatable as well.
    If others experience a similar behavior I'd sure like to see some feedback as this is just too bad of Apple if its widespread.
    BTW - I'm running 10.4.7 (since it was released to public) and file system permissions are presitine and all correct just for the record.
    Thanks.

    I have been using this for a over a year (forget where I found it) and always use it to send my PowerBook to the Land of Nod, rather than just shutting the lid.
    When you do it this way, also, it is quite clear that some processes still need to do their thing, particularly a network; and also after using QuickTime (or video in iTunes).

  • Tech Tip of the Week: Syncing Distribution Groups in Office 365

    Having trouble getting your distribution groups to sync when migrating to Office 365?
    We recently worked with a customer who had over 300 distribution groups that were not syncing to Office 365. Upon review, we noticed that the distribution groups did not have a Display Name.
    Here are the steps we took in order to resolve the problem:
    1. Open ADUC “Active Directory Users and Computers “On the top menu click on view and select Advanced Features.
    2. Find the Distribution List that is not syncing to your Office 365 tenant > right click the Distribution List > select Properties > click on the attribute editor tab.
    3. There are a couple attributes that must be filled out in order  for it to Synchronize to Office 365.
    Attributes: mail,
    displayName – if they do not have any data, fill it in. Once completed click ok.
    4. Open the MIISClient. This is located on your DIRSYNC Server. The default path is: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Online Directory Sync\SYNCBUS\Synchronization Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe”
    5. Click on Metaverse Search > input the following:
    Attribute: Mail
    Operator: Contains
    Value: 
    “Email Address of the DG”
    6. Once filled in click on search > double click the search results > click on the connectors tab. Note: If
    you only see SourceAD Management Agent, perform the following:
    7. Click on Management Agents > Right click SourceAD > click on Run > click on Full Import Stage Only > click on ok.
    8. Right click SourceAD > click on run > click on Full Sync > click on ok.
    9. Right click TargetWebService > click on Run > click on Full Confirming Import Stage > click on ok.
    10. Right click TargetWebService > click on Run > click on Full Confirming Sync > click on ok.
    11. Right click TargetWebService > click on Run > click on Export > click on ok.

  • "Apple Quick Tip of the Week" podcast crashes AppleTV

    I have iTunes set to download the Apple Quick Tip Of The Week (AQTOTW) podcasts, and then sync them to my AppleTV. Nearly every one of the AQTOTW podcasts that I play causes the AppleTV video to stutter and eventually, the white Apple logo appears. After a few seconds, I am seeing the main menu.
    None of the other podcasts that I view on the AppleTV have this problem.
    The software on the AppleTV is up to date. iTunes runs on a Macmini which is running Leopard (up to date as well).
    The AQTOTW are very useful, how can I view them on the AppleTV?

    There are a number of good hints in this post, many of which apply in Leopard.

  • Quick tip of the week

    Hi All,
    Have you noticed that the "quick tip of the week" on the apple.com/business/videotips page are done on machines running tiger. A number of them including some of those most recently added (e.g. "When a pdf is too big", and "zip up your files") seem not to be applicable in Leopard. I find this a bit weird. Come on apple get up to speed with Leopard please.
    BTW anyone know how to shrink down the size of a pdf in Leopard?
    Thanks

  • Mac tip of the week 5/9/07: The smaller PDF Secret Control

    The tip of the week has instructions for compressing a PDF file. The compress PDF method mentioned first is fine, However, the instructions for making a filter to do this make no sense at all to me. It says to select Colorsync from the "second presets pop-up menu" when you open the print menu. What is this? Where is this "second presets pop-up menu?" When i open a print window, I get a print window. There's no pop up menu, first or second.
    For a Mac tip, this is surely obscure. Does anyone know what Apple is talking about here? Thanks
    -wayne

    For some reason when I select 'Add Filters' the dialogue closes and a .pdf is created.
    For some reason not working - any ideas as to why this happens?
    Thanks

  • Question about what the content should be for a database standards document

    Hi Experts,
    I am working as development DBA in a J2EE project and have a task to create a database standards document. The document should be used as a reference by the developers when they submit requests for database changes - like adding or making changes to the database schemas (adding tables/modifying them etc.). I thought of what would be the right content for this type of standards document and I think that such a document should have the following as database standards:
    1) Naming standards for the database objects.
    This will include all database objects like tables, columns, primary keys, foreign keys, views, triggers, procedures etc.. For example a standard can be defined like: all primary keys should be named as PK_TABLENAME. All indexes should be named as <TABLE_NAME>_IDX01 etc.
    2) Use of Oracle reserved words should be avoided in the schema object names.
    3) The names should be descriptive so as to make their purpose self evident.
    4) Wherever possible, tables should have primary keys.
    5) Wherever possible columns should be defined NOT NULL -as it helps performance (Indexes on NULLABLE columns are not used by the optimizer).
    6) When submitting request for a new table/tables, typical queries against these new tables should also be worked out and based on that indexes that will be needed for the new tables should be defined. In case this is not clear at the time of initial table creation, it should be clarified within 3 weeks (just a reasonable period to be mentioned here).
    Is this fair enough content forthe standards document or does it miss some important aspects? Note that we do not have to cover in this document standards for database creation or RAC installation etc. It is a document of standards to be followed by developers as a reference when submitting database changes. I will be thankful for your review.
    (Oracle version info: We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10.)
    Thanks,
    OraserN

    That isn't true - post a link that supports that statement.
    Heap indexes do not INDEX null values but indexes on NULLABLE columns are most certainly used by the optimizer for use cases where your query is looking for non-null values.
    Columns should be defined NOT NULL when your business requirement is that the column should ALWAYS have a value. You can, of course, adopt some standard default value (e.g. 'U' for unknown) and make an otherwise NULLABLE column NOT NULL so that each row WILL be indexed. That may only be useful if you want to be able to search for rows that have that value and those rows are in the minority.Then I must be wrong....I will modify the standard as:
    5) Whenever the business requirement is such that the column will allways end up having a value , then all such columns should be defined as NOT NULL. Also if a column can be defined to have a default value then this default value should also be specified.
    Hope this is more proper then earlier and thanks a lot for the review!!

  • Tech Tip of the Week: Windows Powershell CMDlets

    This week’s tech tip is for all you Windows PowerShell users.If you’re using PowerShell,  you may already know about CMDlets. If not, this post is sure to excite you, as CMDlets (pronounced “command-let”) are nifty commands that will ease the process of using
    Powershell. 
    Here are 5 CMDlets to get you started:
    1. Get-Recipient | Where {$_.EmailAddresses –match “[email protected]”}
    This CMDlet will find an email address that is inside of the quotes.
    2. (Get-Mailbox) | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_.Identity –RetentionPolicy “Contoso-Policy”}
    This CMDlet applies a single retention policy to all users.
    3. Get-MSOLUser | Set-MSOLUser –PasswordNeverExpires $true
    This sets all users passwords to never expire (Requires Azure Module)
    4. (Get-Recipient) | ForEach {Add-RecipientPermission –identity $_.PrimarySMTPAddress –trustee [email protected] –AccessRights SendAs –Confirm:$Y}
    This gives a single mailbox SendAs rights to all other recipients (groups, mailboxes, external contacts).
    5. (Get-Mailbox) | ForEach {Enable-Mailbox –identity $_.PrimarySMTPAddress –Archive}
    This CMdlet turns on archiving for all mailboxes
    Try out these CMDlets and let us know what you think!

  • Quick Tip of the Week: Take a Quick Look at the files in Trash

    I ran this Quick Tip which was emailed to me today, but noticed that the Quick Look icon demonstrated isn't on my Toolbar, instead there's something called a Path icon, and Finder>View>Customise Toolbar is greyed out, so I do not appear to be able to change it. Quick Look works when I press the space bar, so it is on my iMac.
    Does anybody know why Quick Look isn't on the Toolbar, and how to change the Path icon for Quick Look?

    To open a Finder window, click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see the word Finder top left in your screen. You can press command Command N on your keyboard or use your mouse and from the Menu Bar (top of screen) click File/New Finder Window.
    Migration Assistant will transfer all your files and important settings for you.
    To see exactly which Mac OS version you are running, click the Apple logo top left in your screen, then click, "About This Mac". The version number will be displayed in that pane.

  • Date of the week

    Hi,
    Does anybody has a sample or suggestions on how to get the day of the week form a date for example if I have a date String of 8/28/2006 the day of the week should be Monday
    Thanks

    If u r getting this field from the database then u can use a function (I use PoatgreSql, there i use to_timestamp() function ) to convert that string to date and then use another function (here its to_char('timestamp value', 'DAY')) to get the day.

  • Change first day of the week in Calendar?

    When I updated my iPhone to 3.0, my default Calendar app switched the first day of the week (in month view mode) from Sunday to Monday. Any idea how I can change this back?
    -Gerald

    What application does your iPhone calendar sync with on your computer? I have had all three versions of the iPhone and can't remember any of them showing Monday as the first day of the week in "Month" view. Of course that doesn't mean anything... can you post a picture showing Monday as the first day of the week?

  • How to get week of a year in American Standard

    Hi,
    I know it might be a repetitive question, but did not find a convincing solution to it in any of the previous threads. I am looking for a function (user defined, if someone has already written it) to return me the week of the year, in American Standard. i.e,the week should start on Sunday and end on Saturday (and NOT from Monday to Sunday)
    01/03/2010 - Should be the start of 1st week of 2010...... 01/10/2010 will be the start of second week and so on
    01/04/2009 - Should be the start of 1st week of 2009...... 01/11/2009 will be the start of second week and so on.
    Does any one have a function that takes a date as input and returns back the week of the year in this above format? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It's a bit trickier because the ISO rule has some fine prints.
    Take a look at the example below:
    SQL> with t as (
      2  select to_date('01/02/2010', 'MM/DD/YYYY') dt from dual union all
      3  select to_date('01/03/2010', 'MM/DD/YYYY') dt from dual union all
      4  select to_date('01/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY') dt from dual union all
      5  select to_date('01/04/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY') from dual)
      6  --
      7  select dt,
      8         to_char(dt+1, 'iw') tweaked_week,
      9         to_char(dt, 'ww') nls_week
    10    from t
    11   order by dt;
    DT          TWEAKED_WEEK NLS_WEEK
    3/1/2009    01           01
    4/1/2009    02           01
    2/1/2010    53           01
    3/1/2010    01           01
    SQL> If may notice that 02/01/2010 is week 53 and and that at the same time 03/01/2009 is already week 1, being 04/01/2009 week 2.
    The reason is in the docs:
    An ISO week always starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday.
    * If January 1 falls on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then the ISO week that includes January 1 is the last week of the previous year, because most of the days in the week belong to the previous year.
    * If January 1 falls on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, then the ISO week is the first week of the new year, because most of the days in the week belong to the new year.It depends on what your requirement asks.
    If you need to prevent any January 1st that fall on Monday to Thursday from becoming your week 1 you'd probably have to adjust that implementation and fine tune it further.
    Let us know if that will do or what your rule would be otherwise.

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.
