TOSlink optical cable for a Ma Pro? How does it work?

Not sure if this is the place for this question or not, but I am trying to find out more information about the optical audio in/out section of the Mac Pro. On Apple's description page it claims that a regular TOSlink optical cable will work in those slots, but by looking at them, it doesn't seem like it would fit at all. Does a piece in the middle of the optical audio port go inwards? How would you ever be able to get a TOSlink cable to fit it? Anyone have any pictures of an optical cable inserted into a Mac Pro so I can see how it all works?
I know this might seem like a rather absurd question, but I am trying to figure out if I can plug my old stereo surround sound amp into my Mac Pro to use it for audio. Thanks for the help!

There are covers that will swing in out of the way as you press a connector against them. At least this is the case on my Mac Pro..

HT4623 I'm new to using apple products, recently was asked to consider using a ipad mini for my specific business needs. Does anyone use the mini for their business? How does it work for you?

I'm new to using the apple OS. Recently had business partner buy an ipad mini, was thinking of buying more for our businesses. I'm used to using Windows Office products for my reports, wanted to know how apple's Pages, Keynote and Numbers compared and whether they could be used on the ipad mini.

-jarasresource option in for loadjava utility. How does it work?

Hi, I have a simple java function I want to load into Oracle DB as java custom function. This I can do no problem when it is so simple it doesn't import any other classes outside of the standard java jre, but when I want to include third party libraries I start hitting the problems.
I would like to load the third party libraries as jar files (in this case common-codec.jar from apache), but can only get this to load without the -jarasresource option i.e where the loadjava utility unpacks all the files in the jar an loads them separately. This just doesn't seem right - surely it would be better to load the jar file as a whole and have it on the class path for my custom class to use.
The problems is thus...
D:\>loadjava -thin -u audit/****@<dbname>:1521:devdb -verbose -force -order -resolve -grant public -s -jarasresource d:\commons-codec-1.3\commons-cod
ec-1.3.jar

synonym : uk/police/kent/util/StringPatternEncoder
The following operations failed
    class uk/police/kent/util/StringPatternEncoder: resolution
exiting : Failures occurred during processingso my questions are
1. did the load of the jar fail in the first command as it said it was skipped?
2. if it didn't fail, how do I reference it when I issue the second command i.e. to resolve using the jar file - do I need to specify a -resolver option (this seems to suggest in the docs that this is how to supply a different 'classpath')
Could example usage of --resolver be given using my example as the ones in docs only give example on ((* SCOTT) (* PUBLIC)) which doesn't mean a lot to me?
also, how do I check the existence of my classes and jar files in the db? I have checked the user_objects view and can see my jar file there, but don't know what schema etc. it is in.
platform
loadjava - windows
db - 10g Linux
be gentle with me - I am a developer and don't usually get involved with db at this level.
Thanks
Conrad
thanks

Hi,
The default resolver spec for SCOTT schema is '{(*SCOTT) (* PUBLIC)}'.
If you want a non-default resolver spec, you have to explictly specify it. Example the following resolver spec will search the SCOTT, OTHER, and PUBLIC schemas:
loadjava -resolve -resolver "((* SCOTT)(* OTHER)(*PUBLIC))" ...Loadjava does not resolve Java resources; the resources objects
are looked up by the Java VM within the scope of the resolver spec of the
referring class. A Java resource can have a “resolver spec” but is only looked up and used during the resolution of the class, which refers to it;
All these are explained in chapter 2 and 3 of my book (see below).
In your case, it looks like you need to explode the jar (without -jarasresource option).

How does scaling work under Windows 7 with the new MBP with retina display?

After installing Windows in a boot camp partition on the new MacBook Pro, how does scaling work compared to OS X? Does Windows know to have several pixels imitate a single pixel like in OS X when running in 1440 x 900, or is there no scaling effect available?

I suggest reading the following article that was published yesterday...

Help with 5.1 Audio Out via TosLink Optical Cable

My Mac mini is connected a Vizio 5.1 sound bar with a TosLink optical cable. In the Sound preference pane, the name of the device for sound output is "Digital Out". However, when I go into Audio Midi Setup, the Built-In Output shows "0 in/2 out", and if I click the Configure Speakers button, I only have the option to choose "Stereo" from the Multichannel pull-down menu (regardless of the Format I choose).
Why doesn't my Mac mini recognize my sound bar as a surround sound-capable device and send it a 5.1 audio signal?

I'm not sure I completely understand the solution described in your link, but I followed the instructions and it did not solve my problem. I think one issue is that I'm not given the option in the Format pull-down menu to select anything other than 2-channel audio.

Software updates don't upgrade your current operating system to a new one, you have to purchase a newer operting system if you want one.
If you want iCloud, first you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred), then you can download Lion from the app store.
Snow Leopard requirements: $29 USD from Apple : http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Lion general requirements: $29 USD app store.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
Snow Leopard Purchase
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

As Terence said you're experiencing a kernel panic. Boot into your System install disk and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window. Repair the disk. If DU finds problems and runs repairs do it a second time and then reboot.

WiFi will work, cellular will work but they may not be able to access LTE, they will have to send it back to you for the warranty work.

you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.
