What is the best to test superdrive?

Hello there;
I, have tried to install windows 8.1 in my mac; OS X LIon 10.7.5. got ISO image in my dvd disc and when I was in the stage of installation it wont recognizie my ISO file in DVD Disc. So I, am thinking of purchasing Blue-ray drive. So the question what is the best way to test Superdrive and if It's confirmed to be the culprit. I would want to buy BLue-ray drive. is it compatible with my MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5.
Best of Regards

If you don't need the extra ports on the MacBook Pro, the only benefit to a Pro would be that you can choose a largrer screen size. MacBook Pro goes up to 17", MacBook Air goes up to 13". If you don't care, go with the Air.

What is the best hardware test utility for my macbook pro?

I'm familiar with Apple Hardware Test which is available by pressing the 'D' key before the gray startup screen appears, but what about other 3rd party utilities? Are any of them better than A.H.T.? For instance how does ToolTech Pro 6.0.6 compare with A.H.T.? Additionally is DiskWarrior any better than using the apple's built in disc utility (cmd + r upon startup or in utilities folder)?

Thanks for the advise Linc Davis. I just spoke with a technician a moment ago who confirmed some of what you said. He told me that Disk Warrior is, as you said, for software related issues, but for hardware related issues they use Vilitans Software called Smart Utilities which is helpful in diagnosing any hardware related problems with a hard drive. He also informed me that there are no utlities, that he knows of, outside of what Apple Service Centers provides have that is any good for any other form of hardware diagnostics.
The reason I've posted this is in hopes that there was something I could buy and use in the future when I don't have easy access to an apple store and for use now since I'm having trouble with my system periodically crashing during it's sleep mode. I would really like to figure out why. I've checked the hard drive already with the apple disc utility and it's fine, but I'm still getting the crashing so that's the other reason I was hoping to obtain this utility, but it's clear I should wait till I get to an apple store or service center to resolve this problem appropriatly.

What are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone

what are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone?

You could simply log into your child's email with the password that the two of you agree upon, and monitor the emails manually. As for the texts, you could purchase a separate device, and use the child's Apple ID to monitor the iMessages. For SMS/MMS, no way to monitor it. You'll have to use the app called 'Random Parental Inspections'.

What is the best practice to deploy the SharePoint site from test to production environment?

We are beginning to start a new SharePoint 2010 and 2013 development projects, soon developing new features, lists, workflows, customizations to the SharePoint site, customization to list forms and would like to put good practice (that will help in deployment)
in place before going ahead with development.
What is the best way to go about deploying my site from Development to Production?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 and also have Designer 2013...
I have already read that this can be done through powershell, also through visual studio and also via designer. But at this point I am confused as to which are best practices specifically for lists, configurations; workflows; site customizations; Visual studio
development features; customization to list forms etc. You can also provide me reference to links/ebook covering this topic.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Nachiket,
You can follow below approach where the environments has been built in similar fashion
http://thesharepointfarm.com/sharepoint-test-environments/
if you have less data then you can use http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/

For custom solutions like workflows etc you can always build the WSP packages and deploy across the environments using powershell scripts.
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

Hi,
One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
Best Regards

Hi AJ,
Nice PDF !
Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?

What is the best place to do an iphone speed test?

What is the best place to do an iphone speed test? I hear some sites are not so accurate.
I ask because i would always have speeds above 750 kbps but now im not getting more than 400kbps after i updated to 2.0.2 . I just wanna double check that my speeds actually did suddenly drop with the update.

I am not sure these numbers are good, but I did some tests on my phone with different settings. All bars full on both Wifi, 3G and Edge using Telia here in northern Sweden (using above site):
Wifi Download: 4.25 Mbps (4245 Kbps / 518 kB/s) transferred 2304 KB in 4.4 sec.
Wifi Upload: 0.9 Mbps (972 Kbps / 119 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 4.31 sec.
3G Download: 1.17 Mbps (1177 Kbps / 143 kB/s) transferred 1280 KB in 8.9 sec.
3G Upload: 0.16 Mbps (156 Kbps / 19 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 26.81 sec.
Edge Download: 0.2 Mbps (199 Kbps / 24 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 10.5 sec.
Edge Upload: 0.06 Mbps (60 Kbps / 7 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 34.8 sec.
Maybe the numbers would be different if there were a similar test site in Europe, as I often find any speed tests depends on the physical location of the test server.

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

Also create a connection key for you administrator role, so
you can swiftly switch back.

What is the best media to use for backup

Some of the decision of what drive to choose depends on whether you are going to use two drives, or just one.
I prefer at least two. One for a Time Machine backup done routinely, and another cloned image, updated periodically. If you are going to use two drives, then I think that using a bus-powered drive for both is much less risky. If this is the case, LaCie, Hitachi, Iomega, Seagate all make good drives for this. I would avoid Toshiba and Western Digital Passport drives (elements drives are OK).
If you are just using one drive, I've heard some reasonable arguments against using a bus-powered drive. But even more so, just using one drive is much more risky, IMHO. This is because you are probably going to use Time Machine, or another solution to perform "incremental" type backups. All to often, when it comes time to do a full system restore with an incremental backup, do you hear of a corruption that prevents that restoration. That is where a cloned image comes in so handy. You can use the tested clone to make the inital restoration, and then often successful in getting just those critical additions on the incremental backup to save you.
Western Digital Elements desktop drives are OK and inexpensive*. On the higher end are the LaCie, or the Hitachi/G-drive desktops.
There have been a lot written lately about Hard Drives becoming much more expensive for the next several months. It seem that certain Asian manufacturers, especially thailand, have had some serious weather isssues that have hampered capacity greatly. That LaCie Thunderbolt drive I first posted about has increased in price by $100 since that post. And I see other brands inching up their prices. This is consideration of how fast you may want to move on this decision.
*Disclaimer: No matter what brand of external drive anyone promotes or criticizes, there are an equal number of people who will disagree. If I say I have had good luck with a brand, I have no doubt that someone will come along and say that it is the worst drive imaginable, and their favorite brand is the only way to go.

To video editors: What's the best software video encoder?

I'm relatively new to the encoding world, outside of .m2v for DVD. I have a Mac Pro Dual Quad-Core 2.4 Ghz Intel Xeon system with 14 GB of RAM and running OS X 10.7.2. I have the latest version of Final Cut Studio, which includes Final Cut Pro 7 and Compressor. I also have Adobe Media Encoder, but upon testing, I was (ironically) flabbergasted by the fact that Adobe's encoding software doesn't come with support for .avi output. For that reason, it's difficult to trust it. I love what Compressor has to offer, and its encoding quality is more than satisfactory for any and all Mac-based file types, but obviously, the format limitations outside of the Apple realm present a problem in terms of the variety I can offer a client. I would like to have the flexibility of .flv, .wmv, .avi, etc.
Again, I love the QuickTime options of Compressor. I have read that Flip4Mac has add-ons for the formats which I listed above, but I've never used that software for this kind of workflow. I also have some experience with Sorenson Squeeze, but that was mainly on an Avid platform, and there were various frame size/crop issues with encoding which forced me as a user to jump through MANY hoops (none of those hoops are an issue in Compressor, but, again, file types are limited) in order to achieve my encoding goals. However, Sorenson does offer support for every imaginable file type in its $599 Pro edition of the software. I'd rather not spend that much just for an encoder if unnecessary, but I honestly have no real frame of reference in terms of cost-to-"output variety" ratio.
So, to the many who are much more educated and experienced than I am, I ask, in your opinion as professionals...what's the best software encoder? Is it one of the three I have already mentioned, or is it another software with which I am not yet familiar? I am open to any and all suggestions and opinions. At this point, I am mostly dealing with web delivery, whether it be streaming or downloadable file types, and DVD/Blu-Ray encoding for disc burn. However, as I'm sure you understand, you never know what kind of project will come your way, or what kind of file type and/or size a client will require on any given day. I'm really just trying to get an education on encoding in general so I can stay somewhat ahead of the curve, and be able to deliver as many different file types as possible so I never have to tell a client, "No, I can't do that."
Thoughts?

Sorry that you are not getting help.
I would have said that there are some excellent people I see that hang out in the forums for Final Cut etc that would.
I look more at hardware aspect and had you asked I would have recommend against the 2.4GHz in favor of 6-core 3.33 or 2.93 or something. Giving up GHz for more cores or something never works out.
Then I would have stayed with 10.6.8 (maybe keep Lion handy for testing only).
Setup a good storage subsystem, 6 x 4GB (or 3 x 8GB when using single cpu).

I have an old 30" apple cinema display (2005) I want to use as a 2nd monitor to a new iMac (2012). I don't just want mirror image of iMac; what's the best way to do this?

I have not bought the iMac yet but will do so very soon and just want to make sure I have what I need to get everything setup including adding the old faithful 2005 30" cinema display. Currently I am driving the old 30" cinema display with a macbook pro also purchased 2005 and happy to say I got a lot of good miles out of this rig. What's the best way to connect the old 30" monitor as a second display for the new generation iMacs?
Other Questions
I can find online new in unopened box a 2012 iMac 27" i7 with 1T Fusion Drive for $1899 no sales tax. This seems like a pretty good deal since I notice the same is available from Apple refurbished for $100 more plus sales tax. I know that they say the Fusion drive is a lot faster on 2013 models but some of the speed tests I reviewed online showed the 2012 i7 and 2013 i7 very close on speed for both storage and processing. Any thoughts?
I don't like changing batteries so I would buy a separate Apple keyboard with numeric pad since it only comes with wireless keyboard. I'm a trackpad enthusiast having been using my macbook pro trackpad with current set up; and I am prepared to buy the Apple trackpad and replace batteries every 2 months but I would greatly prefer USB connection and rechargeable trackpact. I know Logitech makes one so if anyone is using and knows how it compares to Apple's I'm all ears.

You can use USB for the Apple trackpad.

What is the best way to verify default heap size in Java

Hi All,
What is the best way to verify default heap size in Java ? does it vary over JVM to JVM . I was reading this article http://javarevisited.blogspot.sg/2011/05/java-heap-space-memory-size-jvm.html , and it says default size is 128 MB but When I run following code :
public static void main(String args[]) {
int MB = 1024*1024;
System.out.println(Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/MB);
It print "870" i.e. 870 MB.
I am bit confused, what is the best way to verify default heap size in any JVM ?

Hi Kayaman,
Sorry but I don't agree with you on verification part, Why not I can verify it ? to me default means value when I don't specify -Xms and -Xmx and by the way I was testing that program on 32 bit JRE 1.6 on Windows. I am also curious significant difference between 128MB and 870MB I saw, do you see anything obviously wrong ?That spec is outdated. Since Java 6 update 18 (Sun/Oracle implementation) the default maximum heap space is calculated based on total memory availability, but never more than 1GB on 32 bits JVMs / client VMs. On a 64 bits server VM the default can go as high as 32gb.
The best way to verify ANYTHING is to address multiple sources of information and especially those produced by the source, not some page you find on the big bad internet. Even wikipedia is a whole lot better than any random internet site IMO. That's common sense, I can't believe you put much thought into it that you have to ask in a forum.

What is the best way to drop and recreate a Primary Key in the Replication Table?

I have a requirement to drop and recreate a primary key in a table which is part of Transaction replication. What is the best way to fo it other than remove it from replication and add again?
Thanks
Swapna

Hi Swapna,
Unfortunately you cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional replication. This is covered in
Make Schema Changes on Publication Databases:
You cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional publications, because they are used by replication.
You will need to drop the article from the publication, drop and recreate the primary key, and add the article back into the publication.
To avoid having to send a snapshot down to the subscriber(s), you could specify the option 'replication support only' for the subscription. This would require the primary key be modified at the subscriber as well prior to adding the article back in
and should be done during a maintenance window when no activity is occurring on the published tables.
I suggest testing this out in your test environment first, prior to deploying to production.

What is the best way to create a SSRS Report with Header Data and its associated child data

So I have Member Information...Member ID...Member Addressing...etc.. I want to display this in the top part of the report like...
Member Name:
Member ID:
Member Address Line 1:
And then below I want to report on all the claims associated with a Member ID that is chosen by the Parameter. Obviously the Claim Data will be in Table format. Do I necessarily have to associate the Member Information with the Claim Information or simply
use the same parameter? And what is the best Toolbox item to use to display the Member Information on top?
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated by this newbie.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP

Hi ITBobby,
According to your description, you want to display all Claim Data for each Member. Right?
In Reporting Services, we can use a table to display those Claim Data and make them group on Member ID. If you want to display the Member Information, we can put the data fields on parent group level. Then we can use create a parameter to filter the Member
ID we need. We have tested this scenario in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create a DataSet(DataSet1) which contains the data fields of Member and Claim.
2. Create a table and drag the Claim data into the table.
3. In Row Group. Right click on Details and add a parent group.
4. Select Member_ID in Group by.
5. Right click on the textbox of Claim data. Select Insert Row->Outside of Group-Above. Drag the MemberName into the inserted row.
6. In Report Data, right click on Parameter-> Add Parameter.
7. Type Member_ID in Name and Prompt, select allow multiple values.
8. In Available Values, select get data from a query. Choose DataSet1, select Member_ID in values and label. You can also set this in Default Values if you need.
9. Save and preview.
