Using a G5 for various media applications

Hi,
Some of this is relevant to various other discussions, I know, but this one allows me to group them all together.
I'm planning on using my G5 as a media centre for my TV (it's fast and expandable, hard disk-wise), but since it makes an awful racket, I'm planning on keeping it in my study upstairs. I've got the various adaptors to send the audio and video downstairs, but I've got a couple of questions regarding setup:
I'm using Remote Buddy to control it with an iPhone; I believe this works over AirPort and hence no connection problems. However, with the displays, is there a way to have the DVI routed to my 20 inch Cinema Display or my TV, but not both at once?
Also, does anyone know of a way of switching a G5 on remotely (ideally not awaking from sleep)?
Thanks.

Getting a G5 is a bad idea: first it is borderline capable of running Logic, it will be much slower than your MBP and it will probably need a RAM upgrade. Also you cannot run lots of new software on it, as it has a different structure and needs differently written software, and most new software is no longer compatible with PPC.
Only if your only intention is to record audio to it (like a multitracker), then you could get away with it, but for use with software instruments and insert plugins it really is not a good idea.
You'll be much better off "unbogging" your MBP's system disk by putting documents, pictures, movies and Logic projects on an external disk. Also, if you haven't already, back up your startup disk. Because this disk will fail  (all disks fail).
And if you really want a second desktop Mac, go for a Mac mini, preferably an i7 model, but even any (2nd hand) core2duo model will be (much) faster than any G5. And more compatible with modern software.

    Hi
    Each time when you start your computer, you need to restart Oracle as well, its only with Windows XP. The process you have to follow each time is:
    Start -->Run and then type CMD to open command prompt.
    In command prompt type
    svrmgrl and then press
    connect internal/oracle and then press
    startup force and then press
    If you have any problem, then please email me, [email protected]

    If you are using OLite, you should use the OLite .NET provider:

  • Use configuration management for multi site application

    Hi,
    My client develop an application multi site with designer 6i. We want to use the configuration management .
    The application will be deploy in 10 sites, but not necessary with the same version of the application.
    You want to control that with the configuration management of designer 6i.
    Someone has some experience with that ??
    Can i have some reference or detail experience ??
    Thanks a lot
    chris

    I asked this sort of question for creating a live and a test release of an application. The answer I got was to create a configuration of based on my application and then to create an applications based on the the versions of the configuration.
    Then, I could check the configuration against the main workarea to tell me what was out of date.
    I could also use the configuration wizard to create a new version (of the configuration) selecting the versions of the modules I wanted (ie: newer ones). Then I created a new version of the release application using the new configuration.
    Finally, in the command tool I can select the release work area which will extract correct module versions (I have the .fmbs) and I can compile a release.
    I guess your solution here is to have a main workarea with all the source, then a configuration of that and then one release application for every site. Each release application could use a different version of the configuration - depending on how up to date they are.

  • I want to solely use the cloud for music & media...

    I noticed that many of my songs and movies are being stored both on my hard-drives AND in the cloud via iTunes Match. I realize that each file in the Match cloud has to reside either on a computer or via an iTunes Store purchase, but I have many files that are on ALL of my computers drives.  Should I divide the files across my various drives and computers? Is there an option for storing EVERYTHING in the cloud? Even with external hard-drives I am still running out of start-up disk space!
    Before I go on a deleting spree -- I ask the conventional wisdom for some tips & advice...

    The device that AT&T has provided to you may....or may not....be able to be configured to allow your Time Capsule to function as the "main" router on the network.
    Even if it can....AT&T will likely not support this type of configuration
    Check with AT&T first to see if this is possible....and also whether they will support this type of configuration in the event of Internet connection difficulties.
    If the AT&T device that you have cannot be configured to allow the Time Capsule to function as the main router, AT&T may have a simple modem that could be used for this purpose. That's another question for AT&T.

  • What goes where when using separate drives for data and applications?

    Hello people!
    In Mac Guru's "Guide to Macintosh Performance Acceleration" it states " Separating your "User" data from the Operating System and Applications is the simplest and most cost effective way to enjoy a significant performance boost at
    minimal cost"...
    Now how exactly do I do that?
    I have a 40 GB HD with Panther on it and a 55 GB drive I want to use for the "data" drive. What goes where?
    Thanks for reading!

    Hello Danny:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I disagree with the premise in that article - "significant" is relative and depends on where you are. The only method I am aware of to "separate" would be to create partitions. OS X uses sophisticated algorithms to manage memory - both real and virtual. There are very few good reasons to partition an internal HD - and several that suggest you should not do that - absent a "good" reason.

  • How to use Google API for Visual Studio Application using Google Drive

    I am creating an VB 2010 Form that will collect data and then automate sharing to select individuals. Right now I am storing the data in the Google Drive folder on the Desktop but some people that may be using this application may not have Google Drive downloaded
    on their desktop so I would like to know if there is another way to add the data files (Excel files) to Google Drive. I would also like to have my application automatically share the files with select individuals and possibly publish onto Google+ or at
    least create a notification on Google+ that a new file has been added to the Drive. Thanks in advance for ANY help that anyone can offer!

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because you use Google Drive and Google API which are third-party, I suggest consult on its support forum/community provided by its publisher.
    IN addition, about Visual Basic programming, please consult on Visual Basic forum:

  • Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

    This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
    There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
    What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
    So I really have 2 questions:
    1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
    2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
    Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Problems using remote debugging for Web Dynpro applications

    Hello All,
      Have anyone ever encounter the above mentioned problem ? I am not able to step through my codes nor break @ my breakpoints using the debugging features despite many attempts following the tutorial on "Debuggng Web Dynpro applications". The problem always occur when I click on the Run -> Debug -> "Click on Debug". The debug perspective will show the threads running but my application window dows not appear. Should attempts  be made to "Terminate All" threads and relaunch my apllication again, I will get an error message   saying "Deployment of archive file already running : XXX.ear" Then I will need to wait some 15 mnutes or so before I can try again. Any suggestions ? Thank you.
    The status of my J2EE engine is as stated in the tutorial:
    1) State = "Debugging"
    2) Debug Mode = "On"
    3) Restricted Load Balancing = "Yes"
    4) Productive Use = "No"
      I have posted similar queries under "JDI" and "Web AS General" but did not receive and sugestions.
    from
    Kwok Wei

    Hi
    You should Create and Deploy if you want to reflect the code changes that you just did. However if you just want debug to an existing code then you need not Create and Deploy.
    This can also be done as a two step process where you first deploy from NDS and launch Debug without create and deploy.
    Is the issue that after you launch debug that it does not launch the application window.

  • USING SSO TO SECURE THE WEB APPLICATION RUNNING ON JBOSS/WEBSPHERE

    We are using Oracle portal for all our applications. We have Oracle Application Server, portal, SSO and OID installed. Basically the user should login through
    protal, and the authentication is done by SSO against OID. After the authentication, the user accesses the portal home page. From the home page, there are application links. By clicking these application links, the user should be able to access the applications. But these applications are running on JBoss and WebSphere. Is there any way that we can secure these applications
    by Oracle SSO?
    I know that there is a plug-in (mod-osso) running on the Oracle Web Server to fulfill the tasks like directing the request to the single sign-on server,
    authenticating, putting sso cookie into the session if authentication is successful. So the Oracle Web Server will take care of the authentication for all partner applications.
    There is no such plug-in released for the web server of JBoss or WebSphere. Anybody has the experience or suggestion on how to solve our issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you imported the java certificate into R/3 backend system ? if so.
    Then just go to backend system and check on sm50 for each applicaion instance of any error eg.
    SM50-> Display files (ICON) as DB symbol with spect.(cntrlshiftF8)
    You will get logon ticket details.

  • Multiple RAC databases on same GI using different subnets for Public i/face

    Hello. We are configuring a 2 node cluster. That cluster will host several RAC databases. For security reasons our networking team want to create separate subnets for the application traffic to each specific RAC database on the cluster.
    E.g. application 1 has 2 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD1 via one subnet, application 2 has 3 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD2 via a different subnet, etc.
    In addition the networking team want to configure a separate management subnet that DBAs etc. will use to administer all RAC databases and infrastructure in the cluster.
    Grid Infrastructure version 11.2.0.2. Database versions will vary from 10.2.0.x to 11.2.0.2. All databases will utilise RAC.
    We want to take advantage of SCAN listener functionality to support connectivity to all databases on the cluster. Forum thread 2199620 [https://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2199620] suggests that 11gR2 supports multiple subnets, which looks to be exactly the feature we need. Please can you confirm how this works and point us to any documentation (standard docs, white papers, MOS, etc.) that might help us configure this.
    Document referenced in thread 2199620 was not exactly what we were looking for, and didn't translate too well in Google Translate.
    Any guidance much appreciated. Thanks, Rich.

    Thanks Levi. Your advice is very much appreciated.
    Your statement that we can only have one SCAN listener listening on one public network is actually the clarification I was looking for.
    For anyone else reading this thread I believe this gives us 3 options:
    1) Configure a SCAN listener and have all applications, and all management/administration, connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster via that SCAN listener, all on the same subnet.
    2) Configure a SCAN listener for use by all applications connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster, and use TNSNAMES/VIP for management/administration traffic, both on separate subnets (by configuring the LISTENER_NETWORKS parameter)
    3) Configure a SCAN listener for use by applications connecting to one of the databases on the cluster via one subnet, use TNSNAMES/VIP for all other applications connecting to other databases, each using their own subnet. Plus, the management/administration could be via another subnet utilising TNSNAMES/VIP.
    From our perspective we will work out the best one for us and implement accordingly.
    Thanks again for your timely and comprehensive response.
