Very basic questions about how Airport Express works

I'm using a non-Apple wireless router at home. I'd like to stream music from my iBook to my stereo. Will an Airport Express do that? Will it get confused that there's another access point? Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express? Will an Airport Express work as a wireless router? Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
Thanks.

johnbkim, Welcome to the discussion area!
I'd like to stream music from my iBook to my stereo. Will an Airport Express do that?
Yes
Will it get confused that there's another access point?
You would simply configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join your current wireless network.
Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
To stream non-iTunes items you will need to use Airfoil.
Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express?
Yes as long as you don't have any devices connected to that router via Ethernet.
Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
Yes it is a router.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive. It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive. My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine. But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
Thanks for any insights.
I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

One very basic question about inheritance

One very basic question about inheritance.
Why we need inheritance?
the benefit of inheritance also achieve by creating instance of base class using it in other class instead of extending the base class.
Can any one please explain why we are using inheritance instead of creating object of base class????

One example of inheritance comes in the form of a vehicle. Each vehicle has similarities however they differ in their own retrospect. A car is not a bus, a bus is not a truck, and a truck is not a motorbike. If you can define the similarities between these vehicles then you have a class in which you can extend into either of the previous mentioned vehicles. Resulting in a reusable class, dramatically reduces the size of code, creates a single point of definition, increases maintainability, you name it.
In short there are thousands of benefits from using inheritance, listing the benefits could take a while. A quick Google search should give you a few hundred k if not million links to read.

I just have questions about the AirPort Express and how it works.

My household Wi-Fi is not the strongest in my room and I found out about the AirPort Express and I read the overvie, but I still have some questions on how it works, how its setup and other questions as well.

The AirPort Express will not wirelessly extend the signal from another router unless that router is also an Apple product.
Not sure what other questions you might have, but we'll try to answer if you want to ask.

Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

Hi all,
I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
Thanks.

Question about how wireless networks work

Hello,
This is more of a general question rather than one that is specific to the airport. I have a network with an Airport Express with wireless n, a Macbook Pro with a wireless n card, and a printer that has a wireless g card. Someone told me that because I have a wireless g device on my network that I will never get wireless n speeds even when using my computer to do things besides printing because the network is only as fast as its slowest device. Based on this, if there is a computer on my network that has a wireless g card then everyone on the network can only get wireless g speeds even if the others have wireless n cards.
It was always my understanding that I could not get n speeds when using the printer but I thought that if I were using my computer to connect to the internet, download, upload, etc. (things that have nothing to do with printing and don't require the printer) then I should be able to get wireless n speeds.
I was wondering if someone could explain how wireless networks work. Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is that having 802.11g (i.e. 54 Mbit/s) clients on an 802.11n network will NOT slow down the 802.11n clients.
However, 802.11g works only in the 2.4 GHz band, whereas 802.11n also works in the 5 GHz band, which is potentially much faster. So if you require compatibility with g devices on an AirPort Express, it decreases the potential maximum speed of the n devices, because you have to operate in the 2.4 GHz band. But this slowdown occurs whether or not g devices are actually connected to the network.

VERY Basic Questions about Oracle eBusiness - what "languages" are used?

Please forgive the very basic nature of this post- (I have been in systems (IT) for over 20 years, so I do have lots of systems experience, but no exposure to this particular software.)
So here are the basic questions - I assume that much of the data base logic is written in PL/SQL, but what other tools / languages are the applications written in?
(Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Java, C, something else?)
With over 20 years and experience with a number of other packages, I can learn a great deal about an application by 1. Looking at the DB structures (charts), 2. looking into DB code (Packages, triggers, procedure, functions) and 3. Seeing the screen shots.
None of my customers have had Oracle eBusiness - that have had home grown applications or other COTS/packages.
can anyone suggest a place where an independent person can inexpensively get some exposure?
My sincere thanks for any answers/suggestions.

Confused on how Airport Express works.

Hello,
I have a PC connected to a Dlink router (ethernet). The router is wireless enabled also. I have itunes installed on the PC. I want to stream from itunes to my stereo. I purchased the airport express thinking I'd plug into outlet near my stereo, the airport would join the network via my router and I'd be on my way. But when I run the assistant software from my PC it talks about my PC not being able to administer the express. Do I need a wireless card in my PC? Thanks

The AirPort Setup Assistant requires a wireless connection to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Try using the AirPort Admin Utility instead of the Assistant.
To set up AirTunes on the AX, temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select the existing DLink wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Very basic questions about SMC

I've never used SMC before and I have some basic questions. I'm trying to set up the Sun Management Colsole to manage LDAP users in accordance with the instructions in Tom Bialaski's book LDAP IN THE SOLARIS OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.
My questions are:
1) What's the difference between Sun Management Center and Sun Management Console?
2) The book references Sun Management Console 2.1, what's the latest version and where do I get it? Version 2.1 is already installed on my machine and running.

1) What's the difference between Sun Management Center
and Sun Management Console?This forum is for Sun Management Center:

Very basic questions about hard drives

I'm upgrading from vintage Beige G3, so much of the jargon about internal drives is new to me.
My MacPro will come with an OEM 160 GB drive. I will use this for my primary boot drive -- OS and Apps. All my data, photo files etc. will be kept on my second/third drives. I do not plan any sort of RAID setup. Windows is going nowhere near my Mac.
For the extra drives --
1) SATA? SATA II? What's the difference and is it critical?
1a) What is a "raptor" drive?
2) Does size matter (we're talking about GBs here, guys...)
3) Reliability is more important to me than speed or noise. We're a long long way from any technical help or even UPS.
4) Do new drives need to be formatted before using them internally?
5) If I partition one of the extra drives so I can keep a clean, backup OS boot partition, I need to format it as GUID, correct? Or does that just apply to external firewire boot drives? Does it matter which partition will be the boot partition?
6) I've read discussions about firmware requirements for some drives. What's that all about?
I was leaning toward MaxLine Pro 500 GB drives, but have been reading (reading too much, perhaps?) and now have all the above questions/concerns. (Whatever happened to the good ol' days of "buy an IDE drive, insert, play"?)
Thanks for your patience with these questions. I need to get it right the first time because of our remoteness!

1. SATA 1 interface speed rated at 1.5 Gb/s; SATA II interface speed rated at 3.0 Gb/s.
2. Drive ratings/performance is determined by many factors. You can best find out about individual drive performance by visiting http://www.storagereview.com/ to see their benchmark results on various drives. You will also find some helpful comparisons at http://www.barefeats.com/.
3. As for drive specs see previous answer. Generally speaking within any manufacturer's category of drive models for a given size the fastest drive will be the most expensive. Manufacturer specs usually do not provide any idea about drive performance in real world situations. Only benchmark comparisons are really useful, and even those can be confusing.
4. Yes, you can boot an Intel Mac from an APM partitioned drive. You simply cannot install OS X from the installer disc because it will refuse to install on a drive that has not been GUID partitioned.
5. Some older Seagate 750 GB models were not working properly when installed in a RAID configuration on Mac Pro computers. Seagate provided a firmware update to fix the problem for those who already owned the affected drives.
I don't know where you got the idea that Intel Macs were "picky about such things." Nor that installing drives in a beige G3 was a no-brainer. The old beige G3 required a lot of mechanical effort to mount a new drive internally. You not only had to connect all the various cables, but if you had two drives on the same ribbon cable each drive had to be jumpered properly - one as MASTER and one as SLAVE. Some older ATA hard drives had two different jumper settings for a MASTER - MASTER solo and MASTER w/SLAVE. Some beige G3 models wouldn't even boot OS X unless it was installed on a MASTER drive. And, you could not install OS X on a large drive except by partitioning the drive with an 8 GB partition for OS X that had to be the first partition on the drive. RAIDs may work or not depending on if you ran OS 9 or OS X. At least to me that wasn't the "good old days" unless you were comparing installing ATA drives to dealing with SCSI. I would say that in your particular case you were lucky, and you never tried putting two drives on the same ribbon cable. Oh, and I forgot about the size limiting jumper on most ATA large drives to limit capacity to 32 GBs because that's all that was supported by FAT32. Oh, yes, and the beige G3's disk controller did not support drives larger than 128 GBs.

Very basic questions about a db in windows

My questions are:

3. How can I write dos commands in sqlplus whitout exiting (in sqlplus for unix I know it is with the ! mark)?

- I have no idea what the sqlnet.ora files does when
I connect to my local database by a sqlplus in the

listener does not play any either).http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96581/sqlnet.htm
- I am very ignorant at windows and do not know where
to see the user groups, my system only has 1 user
(there is no oracle user and the oracle installation
was made with this only user). For me it has no sense
that there exists an ORA-DBA group because there is
no oracle user, but I repeat, I do not know how
windows manages users and groups.If you only have one user on your system and the install was done with that user, then chances are good the user is in the ORA_DBA group. You can find User and Group settings by right clicking My Computer and selecting Manage. You will find the users and groups under Local Users and Groups.

Very simple question about how to change a specific field in a table

Hi,
I'm working with a simple JSF web application, I have just drag a table, the "travel" standard example, and I just had 3 columns, one with a drop down list, other with a static text field and a Button.
Then I introduced the following java code in the Button:
public String button1_action() {
int quantity=Integer.parseInt(dropMenu.getValue().toString());
quantityChosen.setValue(quantity);
When the button is pressed, I can print and check that the value obtained is the one selected in the drop down list, of the respective row.
The problem that I would like to write it in the respective static text field (in the same row) where the button was pressed.
What happens is that it write the value in all the column. So it reads from the write place and then write in every column?
How to write in the respective row?
Thanks in advance, Junkeira

Some very basic questions about calling a DLL in C[VI] code.

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry if this a really simple concept. I've come from a background of embedded systems, so DLLs are something I haven't really played around with much. Regardless. I'm developing an application in CVI for a project, and I generated a DLL that I want to use in Visual Studio 2013. I was able to compile it and it output the expected *.dll file. My question however is how do I properly import that *.dll into the CVI IDE? I did google and search the forums and I didn't find what I needed exactly.... I did find however this link: <http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8503/en/>. I did read through it all, and I think I'm going to try and use Implicit Linking. In the link it does detail 3 steps:
Include the import library (.lib) in your LabWindows/CVI project
Include the header file that contains the function prototype in your code using #include
Call the function in your code like any other function
I was able to easily complete step 1.. Now I'm on step 2. The headerfile that contains the function prototype of my code...I was looking at examples, do I just call the dll file as a .h file now? It seemed that way from what I saw. Do I need to output a header file for the DLL some how? Does the CVI compiler automatically reference that .h file with the lib that was imported?
Then in step 3...do I call the functions like they're in another file in the project? Just call the function as usual with the type and then feed the variables into the function and so on?
Sorry if this is a really rudimentary question.
Thanks in advance!
~Andrew

The header file definitely isn't the .dll renamed! While creating the .dll, your development environment (don't know which one you've used) should create both a .lib file and a .h file that you must use in your project if you want to go the static linking way. I see you've found the .lib file: the .h file should be available as well, possibly in the same path. The include file lists all the definitions for variables and functions exposed by the dll.
As per step #3 the answer is yes: you simply call .DLL functions like any other function in your program. At the bottom of the tutorial you've linked there is a link to a Developer Zone Example that is a complete CVI project that uses a .DLL: you may take this as a sample framework to study.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Very basic questions about JSP server and plug-in.

Hi all,
I am wondering what are other ways to make use of the JSP script on a server running normal Apache without changing it to Tomcat. Is there a plug-in version of JSP for Apache that will enable JSP? I am looking for something like PHP plug-in, which is quite generic. They even have a php.exe that OHTTP (a great shareware Win32 web server) can call to run PHP. Is there such thing along this line with JSP on Win32 or Linux? Thanks!

You need a jsp/servlet engine, and in effect, Tomcat is the "plug-in" you described. Tomcat has basic web server functionality built in, so it can run stand-alone, but it's most commonly used with a robust web server like Apache. You don't have to "change it" to Tomcat - you just configure Apache to forward specific urls (anything ending in *.jsp, for example) to Tomcat.
