What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks?

What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks? I'm about to start a BSN program and have heard of using your iPad for textbooks instead of buying and carrying around 8 different books. Is there an app for that? Or do you buy or rent the books? What's the best solution?

Or, if you're like me and you want to do a lot of heavy reading, use the iPad because the low contrast on a Kindle is extremely fatiguing.
Seriously, though "screen glare will cause eye strain" is often taken as an article of faith, there's not a lot of good scientific evidence for it. "Eye strain" can be caused by concentrating on any close work for long periods of time. Looking up and focusing on something distant periodically is very helpful. Older CRT screens that flicker also can be aggravting. I'm not denying that some people find reading backlit screens uncomfortable. However, it's not dangerous. And, then, there are other people who find the higher contrast a backlit screen affords to be much less wearying over long periods of time.

What's the best program to use if I am trying to check for viruses/malware on my Mac?

I went to what looked like a normal website and got a warning that said "This site may harm your computer." I left the site right away, but now I'm wondering if there's some sort of program I should use to see if my Mac got any kind of virus or malware from the site.
- Thank you

Are you using the browser add-on "Web of Trust"? I use that and simply do not go to a website that it classifies as having a poor reputation (unless I do know the site).
Although I have had WOT installed in most of my browsers for a long time, I must say that I'm often disappointed with the results. Ratings can be entered by any registered users and there seem to be some "super users" who'd ratings count more than others, making it almost impossible for other users to overcome the rating by somebody who has a grudge against a particular web site. I also find sites that are simply a bit overaggressive in their advertising to be rated just as RED as one known to dispense malware. There doesn't seem to be any policing of the ratings, either.
I don't think I would ever not use it, but I do tend to double-check the results with something like Google Safe Browsing (which is probably what alerted the OP) if it's a place I really want to visit. They seem to have a much better system for rating sites in real time and getting them cleaned up before taking them off the blacklist and give me a better explanation of what was found than do the WOT ratings which too often are not explained.
Again, I agree with you that being warned by WOT is better than no warning at all.

How do I use my iPad as a second screen with my macbook pro?

I've got splashtop streamer for my ipad. In school my computer teacher has two monitors and she is able to drag stuff from one screen to the other. If i was streaming to my ipad, how could i use it as a second screen? and how could I do this with any old monitor?
BTW if you dont know splashtop streamer, it is a software that lets you stream content from a computer or laptop to a wireless device, such as an iPad.

Splashtop only has the ability to mirror your Mac's single screen. It does not let your iPad work as a second screen.
You need an app that is designed to turn your iPad into a real second monitor.
I use Air Display to move all of my pallets to one screen when I am working with my graphics programs on my Mac. I keep my iPad connected to my iMac to keep it charged while I am using my iPad in this manner.

What is the best method to use to restore from a last backup (Feb), but keep fairly recent emails before it went wrong (today)?

We have a backup of my wife's Email account in a backup from February. Today our son used the account and clicked compact folder on a popup. Unfortunately it seems to have deleted everything in the Inbox, and some from the Sent, Delete, Drafts and various other folders.
My wife needs to get the rest back, Its an iMap account and online there are 3k emails in the Inbox.
Ideally she needs it restored to 9am today. Can anyone suggest how?
Or, failing that can anyone suggest a way to use the February backup but retain whats left of the account she currently has, and then work through the Webmail Inbox to restore lost emails between now and Feb?

With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. Have you tried to login to the account via webmail?
If you do that, what's left on the server?
Does it match what's still visible in Thunderbird?
Data loss upon compacting typically happens when anti-virus software is messing with Thunderbird files.
What's your anti-virus software?
Can you post the Troubleshooting Information?

What's the best method of burning CD/DVD using MBP?

As per my title, what is the best method of burning CD/DVD using my MBP? Can I use iDVD, disk utility etc? I'm referring to burning stuff like music, photos, doc etc. I used Toast Titanium (shd be version 6) with my iBook G4 but it doesn't seem to work with MBP after data migration. Guess the version is too old and not supported in Snow Leopard. Is there any upgrade for Toast Titanium and how much would it cost?

Hi tanvivien,
The best method is really going to depend on what you're burning. All of the iLife applications (iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, etc.) make it pretty easy to burn with the click of a couple of buttons via the "Share" menu drop down.
You can use Finder for files/data as well as media but if it's multimedia then usually the programs where they're managed or stored is easier.
Information on Toast and how to upgrade would be found here - http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html

HT1229 what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

What is the best method of backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Photoshop Elements Organizer

What is the best method or service for backing up my digital files (catalog) in the Organizer from Photoshop Elements 12. Since there no longer is the automatic Elements sync available I do not know what to choose. I have tried to back this up using my external drive, but I cannot find the digital images per se. I see the entire program but not the catalog of pictures. Also, I have a windows operating system and Adobe Revel offers no edit capabilities with this OS.

I'm in a similar situation including movies I've purchased from iTunes...
Here's my setup:
I have all my iTunes data (music, movies, etc.) as well as about 10 GB of photos stored on a nework storage device that uses RAID-5 with SATA disks. This is basically a little toaster-sized NAS machine with four hard drives in it (www.infrant.com). If one of these drives dies, I get alerted and can insert a new one without missing a beat since the data is stored redundantly across all drives. I can also just yank out any one of the four drives while the thing is running and my data is still safe (I tried this after I bought it as a test).
That's how I prevent problems with a single disk... Redundancy
Now onto "backups"...
Nightly, my little RAID toaster automatically backs itself up to an attached 250GB USB drive. However, these backups are only of my critical data... documents, photos and home movies... I don't bother backing up my "Hollywood" movies since I can live without them in a disaster.
... I actually don't permanently store anything I care about on a laptop or a desktop. It all goes on the NAS box (Network Sttached Storage) and then my other computers use it as a network drive. It's attached via Gigbait to my main computer and via wireless to most everything else.
My achilles heel is that I don't store anything outside of my house yet. If I was smart, I'd alternate two USB drives attached to my NAS box and always keep one of them somewhere else (Safe Deposit Box?).
...and that's just one way to do it.

What is the best method to provide an option to select "All" for LOV ?

Some posts sugest that you should "UNION" the origional select with something like (select "all" from dual ) this works as a seperate query but if you want to use and existintg query this is not very clean as viewlinks are not taken into account. We could also pass back an array list and include the all option in the list but that gets away from having the client use the iterator in the pagedef for other requirments of the page.
Whats the best way to approach this with the new features in 11g?

What is the best method to revert back to 'golden' image of database

Hello,
I want to have a 'golden' image of my test database. What is the best method to keep reverting back to this 'golden' image after testers are done with testing. What I mean is I want to set up a test database for testers. Testers can insert,update, delete on objects as they like. But after the testers have completed their testing, I want to revert the database back to the 'golden' image. This 'golden' image is the state of the database before testers perform their tests. I need to revert back to the 'golden' image many times over as we have to perform many different tests.
I thought about export and import (9i database) but takes 6 hours, too long. I tried using rman and was successful the first time, (set until time; restore database; recover database; open resetlogs;). The seconde time using rman, I got error saying the set until time was before the resetlogs time. I think I would have to restore the control file before the resetlog time frame before I can recover to the set until time, again.
What is a straight forward method to have a 'golden' image so I can keep on restoring back to it? This database is a test 9i database and it is in archive log mode but it doesn't need to be. I just need a best practice method, whether it is rman, exp/imp, manual backup/restore? Something I can use time and time over again. Thank you.

If it is a Test envionment, can you just take a COLD Backup (database files
plus control files) ? How big is the database ? What platform is it on ?
eg in a COLD Backup
a. If using a script, run multiple "cp" (or cpio/tar) commands in parallel to
copy different database files
b. If using RMAN (in NOMOUNT), use multiple Chnanels.
Note : Remember to include ControlFile Backups and Restores as well.

Hello:
You pretty much have it right. Here's what I do to move applications between APEX installations.
1) Export/Import Workspaces
2) Export/Import Applications for each workspace. (I retain the source application id in the target)
3) Export/Import Workspace Images/Files etc
4) Use Oracle exp/imp , Oracle DataPump or plain old sqlplus scripts to move database objects from source to target.

What is the best method to remove personal data from the 24" iMac?

Use setup assistant which is offered when you setup your new Mac. It will transfer information from a Time Machine backup, Clone or another Mac.
It's best to do this during setup to avoid issues with duplicate IDs.
