What are the screws on the side of the HDD

There are 4 screws on the side of my HDD in my macbook pro 2011. Are they t6 or t8 Torx screws? I need to buy a screwdriver but I don't know which kind. Thanks.

I bought this toolkit from OWC - for $18, it has all the tools you'll need.

What are the HDD specs i need to replace my HDD on a 2009 MBP?

Hi,
My MBP was auto rendering video on FCP and I accidently closed the screen. When i reopened the screen it finished up rendering but FCP was completely frozen and i couldnt quit or open the force quit menu so i did a manual restart. When the comp started to boot back up i was presented with a question mark folder. Ive done the hardware test, booted from the install disk, looked in disk utility and it seemed that my HD had disappeared. The System profiler says there is an error communicating with my HD.
Ive tried all the button combos while booting with no luck.
I guess this means the HD is dead. So what specs do i need to look for in a HD for my 2009 Macbook Pro 15" ? (unless of course one of yous guys has some sort of miracle fix)

If Disk Utility can't see your drive, then it's most likely dead. I believe that your MBP is a Unibody if it's from 2009. In that case, you can use any SATA 2.5" notebook drive, including the 1 TB sized ones.
Personally I like the WD Scorpio Black series, which is now available in a 7200 RPM 750 GB size. You may want to check with Newegg and Tiger Direct, as they often have specials on drives.
Good luck!

HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

My question was not for a particular performance issue. I am thinking in different possibilities to improve to the best performance. I have statspack configured and we do tuning according to the stats.
Are you able to anlyze few spreport and give me your comments?Usually you have one or more particular issues that are worth to look into, e.g. particular standard reports that take longer than expected, batch runs that don't complete within the given timeframe, end-users complaining about ad-hocs reports taking too long, transactions that start to time out during peak workloads etc. etc.
If you're just interested in someone checking the current state/health of your system it's probably worth a try to post the most important parts of some statspack reports that you determine to be most representative for your system load. There are definitely some contributers here participating that should be able to provide some valuable insights.
I think it's always good to remember that the most significant performance improvement of a system is achieved by letting it do less work resp. avoid unnecessary work. So if you're e.g. able to reduce the logical I/O performed by the top n SQLs that put the most workload on your system significantly you usually gain much more than by just adding more and more memory/CPU to your system. Of course this is not the case if this kind of tuning has already been performed thoroughly but there is usually much room for improvement in this field.

What are the ports/connections on the side of a A1185 macbook laptop

I have inherited this model A1185 macbook laptop,and have no book for it.What are the ports other than power and printer used for?Can you tell me what the other 10 ports/connections are used for?

Go to support.apple.com/manuals/ where you can find documentation for the specific model you have. You can also find answers at EveryMac.com.

An Entire cup of coffee was spilled on the side of my MacBook Pro, it was in my purse, port side up. They were filled. I'm assuming the board or whatever is fried. If I go to apple tomorrow, what are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?

I'm usually good at backing up my photos and documents, but the last 2 months of pictures and videos are on there and not backed up anywhere. I'm heartbroken.

"What are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?"
Very very good, it's all sealed and only a large electrical surge or dropping it while running could do some damage.
Take it and use a SATA to USB adapter you can get online for $12-$40 and hook it right up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer files.
OR you can access the drive directly and on a PC with MacDrive installed.
However the Mac itself is likley a goner.

HT5219 What are the external monitor requirements that can support having two windows email and safari open side by side?

I have a 27" iMac at home that supports this but would like to see if I can enable my Macbook air to do the same thing. I want to find out if this capability can be supported with my Macbook air and if so what are the monitor requirements.

Usually two causes of that, the first being the windows dpi scaling (most common cause) and the second being your graphics card driver needs to be updated.
Try playing with the windows dpi settings
Right click on your Desktop and select Screen Resolution
Then in the screen that comes up, click on Make Text or Other Items Larger or Smaller
Then move the slider under Change the Size of All Items to Smaller and restart windows 8
Also, you can try clicking on Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays, then click on Custom sizing options and drag on the rulers to set 149% and see if that is any better.

What are the tables will update while loading Master data ?

Hello Experts,
What are the tables will update while loading Master data ? And requesting you to provide more information about Master data loading and its related settings in the beginning of creation infoobjects.

It depends upon the type of Master data u r loading....
In all the master data loadings, for every new value of master data an SID will be created in the SID table /BI*/S<INFOOBJECT NAME> irrespective of the type of master data.
But the exceptional tables that get updated depending on the type of master data are.....
If it is a time Independent master data then the /BI*/P<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the loaded data.
If it is a time dependent master data then the /BI*/Q<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the loaded data.
If the master data is of time Independent Navigational attributes then for every data load the SID table will get updated first and then the /BI*/X<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the SID's created in the SID table (NOT WITH THE MASTER DATA).
If the master data is of time dependent navigational attributes then for every data load the SID table will get updated first and then the /BI*/Y<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated with the SID's created in the SID table (NOT WITH THE MASTER DATA).
NOTE: As said above, For all the data in P, Q, T, X, Y tables the SID's will be created in the S table /BI*/S<INFOOBJECT NAME>
NOTE: Irrespective of the time dependency or Independency the VIEW /BI*/M<INFOOBJECT NAME> defined on the top of /BI*/P<INFOOBJECT NAME> & /BI*/Q<INFOOBJECT NAME> tables gives the view of entire master data.
NOTE: it is just a View and it is not a Table. So it will not have any physical storage of data.
All the above tables are for ATTRIBUTES
But when it comes to TEXTS, irrespective of the Time dependency or Independency, the /BI*/T<INFOOBJECT NAME> table gets updated (and of course the S table also).
Naming Convention: /BIC/*<InfoObject Name> or /BI0/*<InfoObject Name>
C = Customer Defined Characteristic
0 = Standard or SAP defined Characteristic
* = P, Q, T, X,Y, S (depending on the above said conditions)
Thanks & regards

What are the steps would liket take using AR,AP,GL Datasource in R/3

Hi,
When i would like to use SAP content data source Like ,AR,AP,GL
data source what are all the master data need to activate for this.
Ex: for AR we need to activate the Customer master data
what abt AP,GL what are the master data need to be activated while using SAP content data source in R/3.

<i>What are the steps i need to do in source system?.First of all identify the data source and what are the master data need to be used for the data source like AP,AR,GL in R/3.</i>
Find out what Cubes, ODS's will be used - > HELP.SAP using the datasource.
Activate transaction datasources.
See Infosource Overview and activate relevant master datasources in RSA5 - ECC.
Install content on BI side.
It doesnot matter what datasources you activate first, it is just a preferred way to load transaction data only after master data.

Laptop editing with Premiere Pro CS4: what are the most important specs

Laptop Editing: What are the MOST important specs?
Hello everybody, I have been a long time lurker, but I decided to join in and share my voice.
I've been editing, for a while now, various projects of various lenghts shot on my HV20, on an IMac using Adobe Premiere Pro. Actually, I bought the CS4 Extended Production Suite last year thinking that it made sense to be able to edit, do the coloring and effects+ sound all within the same suite.
AND, it came with OnLocation, wich is, I think, a fantastic tool. I really want to be able to record and monitor my future shoots using OnLocation. I've seen how useful monitors and scopes are on set, and the idea of being able to shoot in HD and actually checking the focus on something larger than a few inches is very appealling!
So a laptop is in my future. Now, what are the most important specs?
I could buy 1) a barely used Macbook pro early 08- 17" HD led display ,4g Ram ddr2 ,nvidia 8600M GT 512 VRAM ,800Mhz BUS, 200G 7200HD
and have enough money left to buy an Apple Display 30" refurb
OR 2) a new Macbook pro 17, 4 g Ram ddr3, 512 VRAm, 4g Ram ddr3, double procsessors 9400M+9600M GT 512 VRAM, 1066 BUS, 500G 7200HD
and wait for a second display!
Plus, of course, a portable External Scratch Drive on the Express Card. Now, if that fast drive is handling the footage, could'nt I settle for a 5400HD in the laptop,, they seem much less prone to problems-clicking noise, heat-than the 7200, especially in the new unibody model. Is 800 versus 1066 BUS a terrible trade-off? In terms of secondary displays , I've heard less than lukewarm things about the new Apple 24 LED (glossy is no-no for me).
My intentions are to make documentaries and short fictions as well. I make a living as an actor so I don't need to be performing as a director/editor business wise!
I do want to explore that side of the craft, in a professional and enjoyable way though. I know that, in addition to the laptop, I will get a MacPro in a few years.
Thanks a lot for the inputs!

Successful video editing (as compared to tear your hair out video editing) requires at least two hard drives... one for all software and one for all data... some people use 3 drives, with data on one and scratch files on the 3rd drive
I'm not sure about software, but everything I've ever read in this forum says 5400 is NOT fast enough for the data drive
If you want to edit video... you have to buy the hardware that works

CPU, RAM, bus speed, system HD, external HD, graphics - basically in that order
You should think in terms of purchasing for maximum future use. In that regard the new 17" MacBookPro is the way to go. The specs are significantly better than the early '08 MacBook and you will be much happier in the long run with performance, software support and longevity.
If you really need a large display, consider a 24" Dell, HP, NEC, etc. in the $200-$300 price range to stay within your total budget. You will be pleasantly surprised how good they are.
You could start out with the 5400rpm system HD - you can replace it anytime with a 7200rpm drive if necessary for hardly any more $ than it would cost in the first place; and replacing it does NOT void your warranty. But you WILL want/need a good external FW800 or eSATA drive (for eSATA you will need an eSATA expressCard/34 however) no matter what.
One other thought, if your primary use will be with an external display, and you don't actually need eSATA capability (FW800 will do you just fine at this point), then the 15" 2.66GHz or 2.8GHz MacBookPro models will be just fine at a significantly lower cost than the 17" model.

What are the functions of tables in ods

Hi,
what are the functions of tables in ods.
new data table
change log table
active data table.
How 0recordmode work with these 3 tables.
and how sid will work with ods?
can anyone give detailed explanation.
please do not give sap help links.
Thanks,
madhu
Thanks

Hi,
new table holds the "new" loaded data in ODS. If you start a new request to load data in your ODS, it firstgoes to table new data. Then you normally activate data either manually or by process chain. Then the daa will be copied over from new to active table. The change log table holds the delta information, what will change during activation or which records will be overwritten with new data or which data is new at all.
With recordmode you can specify which update mode will be used or more excalty which delta mode will be used. SID is necessary for master data, because ODS will only hold the SID values of the used characteristivcs and not the characteristic values itselfs. It's part of normalization used in BI.
For more details I recommend to look here in SDN, go to a class or read help.sap.com pages.

Juergen
