What is the best option for storing my iphoto library on the cloud?

I was curious as to what people are doing (other than backing up to external HD) for backing up the iphoto library? Anyone using any cloud solution out there for storage? What are some of the best options? I have around 30,000 photos in my iphoto library.

There is no good solution for storing the Library in the Cloud. The amount of data involved means that uploading or downloading is very, very slow. We do see posts on here from people trying to restore from a back up to the Cloud wondering if it's possible to speed up the download currently estimated in days. Running a Library from the cloud is just painfully slow - people have tried it and that is the consensus.
However, as part of a comprehensive back up plan there is a lot to be said for backing up your Photos to the cloud. Not as good as backing up the whole Library, but as a "last line" you at least have your photos. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.

What is the best method for storing/retrieving images?

Friends,
OS: RHEL AS 3
DB: 9iR2
We have some critical situation. We need to scan all our Purchase orders and to store in our pc. we don't want to store the images in the database. it will be a big headache. We have 4 branches in different cities. All the branches are connected to our local network. We have novell server in every branches to store the oracle forms and the db is centralized in our head office. The purpose is to view any PO in any branch.
so,what will be the best solution for storing the images for our archiving?
thanks & regards

Yes - a good quality external hard drive is the answer
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 option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

#1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
#2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
#3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
#4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

Whats the best option for passing parameters between tf?

Dear All,
I have three Task Flows:
1. TF1
     - Main Taskflow that calls a web service to gather its data
2. TF2
     - Secondary taskflow which receives a parameter and depending on the value of the parameter received will display its data accordingly. Generally any data
     is feed from TF1
3. TF3
     - Same as TF2Use Case:
All three TF will be dropped to the page as Regions in a Webcenter Portal Application. Changes in TF1 should propagate into TaskFlow 2.
Question:
1. How do I configure that changes in TF1 would be propagated back into task flow 2 and 3 and whats the best option for this?
2. At runtime, user can choose to edit the page and TF2 and TF3 can be deleted but TF 1 should remain as the source of information.
Given the scenario above:
- shall I wire the taskflows via page parameters?
- contextual events?
What are the considerations that needs to be thought of. I havent done such requirements before.
Please help.
Webcenter 11.1.1.6

Contextual events seem to be the best case.
This way you can trigger whenever you want. Web services can be slow so you can trigger the event when the gathering of the data has been finished and then pass some value on the event.
An event also has a payload so it's an ideal scenario to add the data from the service on it so you can use it in the other TF's.
In order to manage the deletion of the TF1, you can use the UI events on the composer: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_page_editor_adv.htm#CHDHHFDJ

What is the best app for storing all passwords in a secure area? osx snow leopard

Keychain is nice, but I prefer to use 1Password. It's got a nice user interface, and does what I need. It stores passwords, notes, identitiy info, credit card info, application registration numbers, saves hardware information such as your router settings, and more. It also has a secure password generator. There's an extension that keeps a button in the browser toolbar for Safari, etc., so you can submit your info (password, credit card) with the click of a button, and without having to type the information in through the website you are visiting. It also pays attention when you are signing in to a website, and asks you if you want to save the login to 1Password. Once you get them all entered, it's a big timesaver.

I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

If you know that you will not be asked to design GUI interfaces, and the C programming course will adhere to command line compilation environments, then get the Xcode command-line developer tools, and skip the extra complication of Xcode until you absolutely need it. Apple has kicked GNU C to the curb and is rightly so, using Clang/LLVM compiler technology.
Sign up for a free Apple Developer account using your Apple ID, and then visit the Mac Dev Center, and towards the bottom of the page, you will see additional downloads. Click on the associated, all down loads link. Know your OS X version beforehand, as the command-line tool releases are tied to general operating system versions, and the most recent Xcode version. That said, there are currently two March 9, 2015 command-line tools for Xcode 6.2 — one for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and the other for OS X Yosemite.

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac. Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
os on old imac is 10.6.8. os on new imac is 10.7.2. I want the albums and events to stay intact. I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

You can copy your iPhoto Library to an external hard disk, USB flash drive, or other media (depending on the size of your iPhoto library). Then, you'd copy the iPhoto Library from that media to the same location on your iMac.
Using the Finder, navigate to your Home folder (or click on Go from the menu bar and click on Home). Open the Pictures folder, select your iPhoto Library and then from the menu bar choose "Edit" and then "Copy". Then navigate to your external disk, click on "Edit", and then click on "Paste".
Then, insert your media on the iMac, and copy the iPhoto Library from your external media to the same location on your iMac (the Pictures folder located under your Home folder).
Hope that helps, have a great day.

What is the best option for 'update.... set' in owb?

Hello.
I have been reading on a number of ways to implement following query in OWB:
update TABLE A
set Value F = (select Value B
from table B
where (nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD) = trim(B.ValueF)
and substr(A.valueG,1,2) = trim(B.valueH))
or ( nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD)) is null
and trim(B.valueF) is null
and substr(A.valueG,1,2) = trim(B.ValueH)
The table A and table B do not have a relationship.
Key lookup - some of you recommend not to use it as it is not very good.
Set Operator or Joiner? What would be better?
I created a function for this query, but i cannot use it in the map because i get this error:
API8003:coonection target attribute group is already conncted to an incompatable data source. Use a Joiner or Set operator to join the upstream data first before conncting it into this operator.
What would be the best way to do it? how i can pass the parameters from two different tables into my function? What feature of OWB would be the best option i cannot use for this?
Or my best bit to re-create it as a procedure and run it that way?
Thank you very much for your help
Kind Regards
Vix

Hopefully this is helpful and it makes sense written out.
First, I'm not sure if there are some parenthesis missing in your update statement because I can't tell for sure whether the statements separated by the 'or' should be considered separately [ as in "(a = b and a=c) or (c = d)" vs "a = b and a = c or c = d" ] or if the logic is exactly as written. My suggestion is based on the idea that the query is exactly as written -- if parenthesis were missing, insert them as appropriate.
My suggestion is to use a join. Even though you say A and B don't have a relationship, they sort of do based on the update statement.
I would suggest that you start with source A and insert an expression operator. You'll send in ValueC, ValueD, ValueG. You create three outputs:
BValueF = nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD))
BValueH = substr(A.valueG,1,2)
NullValue = nvl(trim(A.valueC),trim(A.valueD))
Then add source table B and insert another expression operator. You'll send in ValueF and ValueH. You create two outputs:
TValueF = trim(B.valueF)
TValueH = trim(B.valueH)
Then insert a join operator. For ingrp1, you'll drag over whatever can uniquely identify A and the three outputs from the expression. For ingrp2, drag over ValueB and the two outputs from the expression.
Then your join condition will be
BValueF = TValueF
and BValueH = TValueH
or NullValue is null
and TValueF is null
and BValueH = TValueH
Then add your target table A, set it to update on the unique key. Drag the unique key from the joiner to the unique key on A, and drag ValueB to A's ValueF.
Hopefully this makes sense written out. I didn't test this, but it looks logically correct on paper.
Good luck,
Heather

What is the best family plan option. Currently have one smart phone with 30gb of data and 3 basic phones. Also have home phone for $20/month. Current plan is 700 shared minutes and unlimited texting. My bill is close to $200/month, looking to lower if possible.

On a tablet- pse forgive typos....
Great Advice given earlier by SuzyQ - I believe the question not asked of you is ---what do you want to pay for the services that you need. I think that it would narrow the groups suggestions if you could narrow your needs.
For example: I need talk and text on 4 phones and some data say, 2 Gig, on only one of the phones. what plan is the best cost for me? You may also need to ask what the cost may be to switch to a different plan. I suspect that there will be no cost within Verizon-but ask anyway.
I do not think that you can have a smart phone on any Verizon plan unless you agree to buy data for that phone. Also, you said that wifi is often available-however, I do not believe that Verizon allows talking over wifi without consuming airtime minutes-only data over wifi avoids your allowance to be impacted.
As most here already know, several other service providers offer wifi-friendly service (talk/text/data) that will provide home/business/restaurant service without impacting your allowance- just not here.
After getting some suggestions here, call 611 and confirm availibility and price.
Best of luck in your research.
