What extras should I get when I get my imac?

I've decided to buy an iMac, 20-inch, Intel Core 2 Duo. But I'm not sure what extras I need to get with it, so that I can listen to my music around the house.
I will have my imac downstairs, and want to be able to access my itunes from upstairs which I believe I can do with an Airport Extreme base station and Airtunes, with my hi-fi upstairs. Although I'm not exactly sure how many base stations and speakers I need or how to connect them. I don't have broadband at the moment, but I'm hoping to set it up with Virgin media. I wasn't planning on getting wireless internet, but will I need this to use the Airport?
I'm getting a bit confused about all this, can anyone help?

You can use a non-wireless modem connected to your Mac with Ethernet for your internet service and still use Airport to stream your music to an AirPort Express base station with Airtunes. You should not need an AirPort Extreme base station.
As long as your home does not have structure or building material that blocks the Airport signal one AirPort Express near the stereo should be enough to stream directly from your Mac. If your stereo accepts digital input, you run a Toslink cable with mini-adapter from the AP Express to the stereo. If not, just an analog cable with a miniplug on the AP Express end. If your home has strcture or material blocking the signal you may need more than one AP Express to rout the wireless signal upstairs.

What should I check when I get my notebook?

hi, I'm buying my mac book pro in about 2 weeks and I would just like to know what I have to check when I get it.
whine noise? heat issue? (how to check it?)
any others?
by the way, I have an imac G5 rev. B.
it has a bit of "whine" as well. not sure if it is called whine, but I'm fine with it.
Is whine on the mac book pro very similar?
thanks!

so as soon as i turn on the computer, I should hear
the whine if there it is there right?
Well, not necessarily. First, if you use something CPU intensive or if it's plugged to power, there is no whine. Second, my MBP started to whine three days later, some started 3 weeks later, some had it right away. It's all chancy I think.
i know that
some say by dimming the light, you can tell as well,
are there any others?
If you have the screen the screen buzz (which is unlikely now) you'll hear it at all screen brightness but completely off or at its max. If you ever hear a buzz/whine, you can test by dimming the display: If it goes away, you have a faulty inverter. If the whine/buzz is insensitive to display, you can launch photobooth: if it goes away when photobooth is on, you have the so called "CPU" whine.
as for the heat problem, how do I know if there is
something wrong with it? all mac book pros are hot
right?
Well, it's true that MBP runs on the hotter side and it's normal that you can't touch sometimes (say when you're playing games) the area above F keys. But if you feel extremely disturbed by the heat to the point you can't rest your hands on it when you're just surfing the web, then you might have a problem. But everybody has different tolerence for heat, so it's hard to ***** it. If you feel that it's ridiculously hot, you can do the resetings, calibrating and the firmware updates, which seem to work for some people.
Hope you'll be a happy MBP owner!!

What to do with iTunes when you get another iPod?

My daughter has an iPod mini that is completely filled up. For her birthday, she want to get a new 30G iPod.
The thing I am wondering about it whether or not she will be able to use her current iTunes library with the new iPod. I would not want to see her start from scratch, as that would just take up more room on her hard drive.
Can you use iTunes with more than one iPod?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually an iPod can be used on multiple computers and multiple iPods can be used on a single computer so you'll be fine when you get your new one. You may not want to do anything too complicated but there's a lot more about it here: "How to use multiple iPods with one computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

What exception should I use when commit work fails ?

hi all:
I create a class with methods to insert , modify and delete trasaction data,
when commit work fails, I want to throw an exception, what exception should I use
for this case?

In general, you should do your commit using CALL FUNCTION IN UPDATE TASK. As this runs in a different process, you will never be able to catch an exception in your main task, even if you throw one in the Open SQL code. What you should do is carefully validate your data before posting it to the database, so that commit cannot fail for data integrity reasons. If it fails for technical reasons (DB down etc.) there is nothing that your code could do about it anyway, so in this case even getting an exception would be no use. What exactly is it you are trying to accomplish?

What settings should i use when creating a wallet???

Dear sirs...
i configured the http server to use ssl. using the default wallet it works fine. now i created a certificate request , send it, get the certificate & added it into the wallet, enabled autologin feature, and then make the httpd.conf file point to it. now i can not see my site on the server. by only changing the wallet with the old one, i get the site working again.
i guess the problem is in the certificate, so what should i check when installing the certificate? is there a limit on key size supported by oracle? should i add a specific cipher suite? how? can anyone tell me where to find a step by step example on using ssl?? (as i told you before, the problem in the wallet)
thanks for any help
best regards

First try doing the following:
In the Application tier home go to webcache/wallets/default
Make a copy of the certificates there and then paste ur own certificates. See it might work.
As for the step by step procedure here is the link:

What license should i buy when buying ebusiness suite

Dear Sirs...
i am facing a problem of what license should i buy.
i would like to use oracle financials for example... as far as i know i can buy the financials license only if and only if i am installing this application on one server, so i should buy:
oracle financial user licenses
now if i want to use clustering on the financials (for 2 servers each with one cpu), then i should buy the license of:
oracle financial user licenses
oracle database server license x 2
oracle clustering license x 2
my question now is:
if i am installing financials on a server with 4 cpus, then the license that i will buy will be
oracle financial user licenses
is this correct???? or not?
please where can i find such oracle license details?
thanks for any help in advance
best regards

Dear Sir...
just to make sure...
assume i have a company with 200 employees, i want to use finacials application, the application will be deployed on a single server with 4 cpus. the quantity of the license i should buy now is:
1- 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, or
2- 10% of the 200 users =20 x 4 cpus = 80 user license, or
3- 200 user license, or
4- 200 x 4 = 800 user license ?
it is supposed i should buy 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, but i am getting confused because terms of named user plus and cpu license.
is there anyone who can conform which one is correct?
thanks in advance

What impact should I see when my Ipad mini is associated to my Wife's Apple ID

I have a 64gb Ipad mini
My wife has a 16gb Ipad with retina
Both me and my wife have purchased tv shows in iTunes using my Ipad mini and have both downloaded content to that device.
My Ipad mini shows in my wife's iTunes account as being associated with her Apple ID.
To date, I can't see that I have been impacted by that association because we can both log in and out of iTunes on that device, download TV series and play those shows. With my device being associated with my Wife's Apple ID, what impact should it have on me?
I've been corresponding with Apple for over two weeks and am still no closer being given an answer that makes any sense I just seems that I am being given stock answers to another question
I have been given links to many help articles that have been directly and indirectly relevant to my query, but they don't answer my question. I've also read through the community support forum, but there's nothing that I can find that relates to my question.
We are both new to Apple products, iTunes is new territory for us. I simply want to understand whether or not our shared use of my Ipad mini will create a problem that locks either one of us out of certain content. We'd rather know this up front so that we make an informed choice of whether to continue purchasing hard copies or start using iTunes for purchasing TV shows.
Additional information:
We have Apple TV (3rd gen)
Thanks in advance,
John

I found this article for you on the iTunes support website at:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww

Hi Japple,
A long time ago, which iTunes account you used to make purchases was important due to the DRM that Apple used at the time. Now that most music on the iTunes Store is DRM-free the distinction of which account was used to purchase the music is irrelevant. Songs can be copied freely to as many computers and devices that you own.
Movies and TV shows, however, are not all DRM free. They have Apple's FairPlay DRM embedded. What does this mean for you? Probably not much. You can authorize up to five computers to play a video file downloaded from either of your iTunes accounts. iTunes itself keeps track of the associations and, if you change devices in the future, it's very easy to dissociate your accounts in the iTunes Store.
Let me give you an example of how this works. Let's say my wife buys a CD and a movie from iTunes and I want it on my computer in my library too. First thing I need to do is copy the files to my machine and add them to my iTunes library (File --> Add to Library, I believe). When I try to play the music, they'll work immediately, no more configuration required. When I try to play the movie, however, iTunes will ask me to associate my computer with my wife's Apple ID (if I haven't already done so in the past). To associate my computer, all I need to do is enter her Apple ID and password into the dialog box that pops up and I'm good to go. Now I can play that file in my iTunes on my computer without any trouble. I can also download it to my iOS devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone) seamlessly.
An Apple TV is different than the other iOS devices in that its primary purpose is to stream files from computers, other iOS devices, or the iTunes Store directly. The Apple ID that you associate with your Apple TV is only relevant to the purchases you make from the iTunes Store and if you turn on Home Sharing. But both you and your wife can stream files to your Apple TV from your iOS devices. Make sure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV and your iPads. Then select the Apple TV you want to stream to from your iPad and you should be good to go.
My wife and I have a similar environment to the one you describe and have no trouble viewing or using content on any of our devices (including computers).
Best of luck!

I bought this MacBook Pro 15.4" 1.83 GHz MA463LL/A with 2gb of RAM for real cheap on eBay because I'm poor and can't afford a new MACBOOK PRO and was wondering what everyone thinks about these laptops and what can and should I upgrade when I get money?

I bought this older MACBOOK PRO 15.4" 1.83 GHz with 2gb of RAM and Leopard 10.5 on eBay for real cheap because I don't have the money to buy a new one like I would like to do, and it comes with a disk to upgrade the OS to 10.6 and I was wondering what all I can and should upgrade (short of the whole computer) as I have the money to do so? Or did I just get really hosed?

You have the original Core Duo model. 2 GBs is the most RAM you can install, so the only thing you could upgrade would be the hard drive. Doing so is not a trivial task but you can find suitable hard drives and installation tutorials at OWC.
Since yours is a Core Duo model you can upgrade OS X to Snow Leopard, but not to Lion which requires a Core 2 Duo or better.
