URGENT HELP: Checklist of what to do on fresh MacMini?

Hi everyone, I've had this issue where my Mac Mini mid2011 keeps giving me spinning beachballs and my whole system becomes unresponsive. To fix this issue I'm going to erase my Mac Mini's HDD and then install Yosemite. I just tried re-installing Yosemite WITHOUT doing the erase, but the spinning beachballs returned...
Which file system should I use to re-format the Mac Mini's HDD?
Thanks!

OS X Yosemite requires that you use "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as the filesystem, so you have to choose this one. First of all, make sure you have a backup of all the important data.
I suppose you know how to format the hard drive and reinstall OS X, but in case you do not know how, you have to start up your Mac from OS X Recovery (press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up). Then, open Disk Utility, choose your OS X partition and format it. Finally, close it and reinstall OS X.

Need urgent help in listing out checklist from DBA prespective for BI Implementation Project

Hello Guys,
We are in Designing phase Data Modeling of PDW/APS Implementation Project.
I need urgent help in making a checklist from a DBA perspective.
Like what are things ill be needing at a time of implementation/Deployment.
Your expert comments and help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Anish.S
Asandeen

You can get good summary of checklist from this article about
DBA checklist for data warehousing.
Which highlights on below pointers:
New system or old. (I.e. Up-gradation vs starting from scratch)
Complexity of SQL Server architecture
SQL Server storage
Determining SQL Server processing power
SQL Server installation consideration
SQL Server configuration parameter
SQL Server security
SQL Server Database property
SQL Server jobs and automation
Protecting SQL Server data
SQL Server health monitoring and check ups
SQL Server ownership and control
based on my real time experience, I will suggest you to keep an eye on
Load performance (It will be useful when your database(Warehouse) will have huge amount of data)
System availability (Check for Windows update and up time configuration)
Deployment methodology should be planned in advance. Development of packages and respective objects should be done systematically.
Source control mechanism
Disk space and memory usage
You might or might not have full rights on production environment, so be prepared to analyze production environment via Select statements [I guess you got my point]
Proper implementation of Landing , Staging and Mart tables.
Column size (this can drastically decrease your database size)
Usage of indexes (Index are good, but at what cost?)
I hope this will assist you in building your check list.

Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else.

URGENT HELP NEEDED (Bios Settings Failed)

Hey Guys,
I am having problems with my MSI Board, and don't know what to do. I am very much a noob to BIOS/and modding so I apologize in advance. You guys helped me a few months ago getting everything up and running and all was great for months. Then last night I walked away from my PC for a while and when i came back a starting screen was on saying my OC Settings Failed to load, i tried other versions I saved and they all failed as well. I ended up loading failsafe options, and got the "double start" where the computer turns on, then instantly shuts off, then turns on again. This allowed me to load windows 7, which then started to "install updates". So i think while i was away Windows automatically updated and rebooted... but would that effect my BIOS settings?
As I said, I had my system running perfect for months no errors or crashes at all based on the Bios setting you guys help me with in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147854.0
However, last week I removed the heat sink and installed this cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Water+Cooling-_-Corsair-_-35181010
All I did was unhook everything from the MB, install the cooler, and then hook everything back up to the MB. The only thing I may have done wrong is not connect the SATA devices (my HDs and ROMS) back in the spots they were in originally. However after I installed the cooler, they system booted right up, and I haven’t had any problems with my system for the past two weeks. I also should note I didnt make any BIOS changes either after I installed the cooler. So I don’t know if I should have done something there. Yet, like I said the system has been fine for the past two weeks, no crashes or errors... it wasn’t until last night after Windows auto updated that this has begun.
The reason I need "URGENT HELP" is because of course I just a new job with deadlines due and so much video editing work I need to do. I would be fine leaving it on failsafe settings, and forgetting the OC setting all together if I new that would make the system stable. But considering its still doing the "double start" even in failsafe mode, im afraid if i start working my system will crash.
So I am begging anybody for any advice or help they could provide. I will provide my system info below. If anybody can guide me as to what settings I should set in BIOS i would appreciate it. Or perhaps there’s a BIOS update that I should use now that I have a cooler and not a heat sink? If you need any more information from me, just ask. I will be monitoring this thread all day, as I desperately need help.
MY SYSTEM:
Intel 980X chip running Win 7 64bit (with MSI BigBang xPower MB installed in my old Dell XPS 730X)
(1) SATA II WD 3gb Hard Drive @ 1.5TB
(2) OCZ SATA II SSD drives @120GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227543
(2) Hitachi 6gb SATA III drives @2TB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145473
3 DVD/CD/BLUERAY DRIVES:
1 SATA DVD DRIVE
1 SATA BlueRay Drive
1 SATA CD Drive
(So 8 SATA Devices Total)
24GIGs of this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145321
1 NVida Geforce GTX 470
1 Soundblaster X-Fi Titanum Card
New Addition Water Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181010&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Water+Cooling-_-Corsair-_-35181010

PROBLEM: My OC BIOS setting wont load. Even on failsafe i get the "double start". I want to get back to my OC (stable) settings.
UPDATE: Since I posted somebody messaged me mentioned I should have "reset the CMOS" after I installed the new cooler. So I did that, and now they system starts fine without the "double start". I am able to load one of my saved OC settings now as well (but any others causes a failure).
NEW QUESTIONS:
1. Since I reset the CMOS and now the system is starting fine on my last OC settings, is it safe to assume the sytem is stable for now?
2. I never made any power changes or BIOS changes after I installed the new cooler. Should I have?
3. After I reset the CMOS was I soupposed to reinstall the drivers from the MSI disk again? I did not, and the system seems to be fine, but I thought I was soupposed to do that after a CMOS reset.
4. Is there a new BIOS version for my setup that may be better now? Im currently on v1.5
Here is a screenshot from CPUZ of the system information currently. This is with it booting normally after my CMOS reboot. I just figured id post it incase it helps with any of my questions. Thanks so much for helping guys!

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! (Almost a matter of life and death)

Well, it's more of a matter of failing a course or not...
Anyway, my Java professor gave us some labs to do. I know Java front and back, at least, whatever version I learned a few years back. This is my first tenure with the Scanner object, and it's messing me up.
I'm using Eclipse for my project. I have three files in the source folder, ABC_Manufacturing.java, mseast.dat and mswest.dat. Now, when I try to instanciate a new Scanner object, it won't find the files:
Scanner east = new Scanner(new FileReader("mseast.dat"));
Scanner west = new Scanner(new File("mswest.dat"));
I'm trying two seperate ways to do this. Neither are working, this is the error I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
     Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException
     Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException
     at ABC_Manufacturing.main(ABC_Manufacturing.java:38)
Now, I added these files OVER and OVER again. I added them. I created new files and pasted the contents in there. I used .txt files. All the same error. It's like it just won't take the time out to look for the files that are RIGHT IN THE DAMN PROJECT! Then I tried using a complete path, using C:\Java\whatever. SAME ERROR!!!!
Please, I need urgent help. This is due tomorrow at noon, and I have no idea what to do at this point. I can't really continue, because at this point its just looking at what prints out and formatting it, and I don't want to do that without testing to see if my code to convert the file data into arrays work. You dig? Thanks for any and all help, and I'm going to kill my professor...she spent a week going over parallel arrays but did nothing to show us how to import files into projects or use the scanner class. Also it doesn't help that at uni we have to use emacs, which I don't use at home.

This is the the main class, so far:

          int [] westParts = new int[17];
          int [] westQuant = new int[17];
          System.out.print(west.nextInt());
And I didn't ignore that one guy (sorry, don't remember your username) I tried you and the other guy's responce. Both didn't work. I dunno how to get around errors. Figures, you don't learn that in the course but she'll spend a week on parallel arrays...Ok, well that can't possibly be complaining with the same error message you got before, so now you need to be (more) specific about what "didn't work" means.

Urgent Help Needed: ATI Graphics Card install

Hello All.... I am in need of some urgent help..
I am trying to install a new graphics card - the ATI Radeon 9600 SE. I currently have a Voodoo3 card. I followed all of the instructions step by step, but when I plug the monitor to the Radeon card and boot up, I do not get any display. I have tried everything I can think of, and yet - I am sure the card is secured in place and the monitor is plug into the card.
Can anyone help me on this one.. ATI's support is, well - lacking..
Here is some info on my pc:
MCI motherboard
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ 1.7 GHz
768 MB
AMIINT - 10 Version 1.00, 07/10/02
Could the problem be with switching from a regular PCI card to an AGP card???

Hi,
if you want to transform something to something else, you should declare, what is your source.
I would prefer to use plain XSL-Transformations, because you have a lot more options to transform your source and you can even better determine, how your output should looks like.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Urgent help needed! How do I use Time Machine to restore my System disc?

I need urgent help. First I discovered that my Library folder was empty. When I tried to restore the library to an earlier version via Timemachine it would not let me because it said the system was in use. Trying to start-up from another system on another internal drive and using various disc repairs resulted in the whole volume to disappear.
Question is how do I get the earlier system from my Timemachine backup drive? I have another Mac where I can attach the TIme machine HD to. Can I restore it from there and then copy the files over to my corrupted disc? All my programs are on there as well, which would take me days to re-install and then there are the other bits, emails, photos etc. Can anyone help?

lightandmagic wrote:
Thanks for your sympathy Pondini and the encouragement. You just reminded me that I will lose a whole working day restoring !!! Do you happen to know where the emails are kept on the system and the address book? I better nick those as well as my other life sustaining bits before its too late. I don't trust anything any more.
I don't know what you mean by "nick those." Time Machine will put everything back the way it was at the time of the backup (unless you'd excluded things).
Do you mean you want to restore things from the period after the backup you selected?
For Address Book or Apple Mail, start the application, then +Enter Time Machine,+ navigate to your latest backup, and you'll have a prompt to restore. For Mail, you can restore an entire mailbox. When you exit from TM, you'll see a new folder in your Mail sidebar with the restored items, so you can sift through them and move, delete, or leave them as you wish.
Other items, you'll have to locate and restore via the Finder > Time Machine.

Also, try if the URL with the slash:

does work when you just paste it in a browser. It should download the Registry.dat file

Urgent help needed in achieving below ADF 11g flow

Hi, I am using JDEV 11.1.1.2.0 with ADF 11g.
I have a below requirement.
Say in below eg. I am getting col1, col2, col3 from a single tbl in screen 1. On clicking col1's row I should go to screen 2
Screen1
Col1     Col2     Col3
Nm1     Code1     10
Nm1     Code1     30
Nm2     Code1     30
Nm1     Code2     20
Here in screen 2 I will have a calculated field as shown below. Besides this In the same screen I will have a list showing distinct of col2 for the value cliked in col1. So here in this eg. it will be for Nm1 I will have 2 values in the list Code1 and Code2.
Screen 2
Col1     Nm1
Col2     Code1
Tot     *40*
Col2     Select
Code1     X
Code2
Now here if user selects the radio of 'Code2' Then my above data should change as below
Col1     Nm1
Col2     Code2
Tot     *20*
Col2     Select
Code1
Code2     X
I do this by passing the col1 value as a param to a query VO.
I have tried this using different VOs like a VO with query, VO with user defined column... nothing helps.
I am just unable to reach to screen 2. I am either getting invalid column OR missing in out parameters.
Can any one help on how and what should be done? This is not even master-details stuff. master-details seems easier than this.
Urgent help is needed.
Thanks in advance

I have resolved your problem and build a sample application.
You have to create 2 views and use master detail.
First view will be a simple view for the page 1 and second view will be readonly using group by. Then create a view link between them.
Let me know your email id. I will email you the sample application.

URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
Tomcat\conf directory.
I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>

<role-name>webviewer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
</tomcat-users>
So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
Help would be v. much appreciated.

In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
Gary

1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...
