What is the less CPU intensive method ...

Hi,
With my Apple TV, I can select directly my music library from Apple TV's menu on my television set. I can also choose from iTunes to stream to my Apple TV through AirPlay. Does both method use my computer's CPU the same way ? Is there a method that is less CPU intensive ?
Regards.
Robert Lespérance

In terms of load on your system they are identical.
The only difference is in the first scenario the AppleTV is pulling the content from the Mac (i.e. telling iTunes "give me this track/video/whatever) and in the second scenario the Mac is pushing the content to the AppleTV (i.e "here, AppleTV, display this video/audio/whatever stream").
After the initial negotiation (push vs. pull) the load on the host system is identical - read the file off the disk and transmit it to the AppleTV for playback.

I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine be transferred to the Pro?.

I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts,documents, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling, to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine from the MacBook be transferred to the Pro in some way? I would like to capture the files as they appear on the MacBook, such as "Events" in iPhoto and the various song categories within iTunes without having to rename them all once saved on the Pro, which is the case with photos when I simply save them to thumb drive and import them to the Pro. Sny advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Rob.

Michael,
Thanks for all your assistance. There is no need for apologies, Migration Assistant did indeed create a second account for the MacBook data. It has just taken me some time to figure out how to access it. I now have all the MB data in one account and the MBP files in another, which suits me fine. In fact, it is an advantage in my case as it keeps the private and business aspects separated.
I will however try the fatcatsoftware to transfer all the iPhoto files to my iMac, where I keep my main photo library. and it will be of help to keep the events, etc in the transfer. As far as iTunes is concerned, I have HomeSharing on all my computers and this has obviated the need to worry about playlists being transferred successfully. However, HomeSharing did not appear to share the iPhone/iPod apps that were stored on the MB and although these have now come across with the new MacBook account on the MBP, I was wondering whether my iPhone and iPod will be recognised by the MBP and sync with it? Will I need to have the MB account open to achieve this or will the MBP recognise and sync with the iPhone/iPod automatically irrespective of which account is open?
Thanks for the tip on deauthorising my iTunes account from the MB before sellng. This I will do and I believe the best way to remove all of my data from the hard drive is to reinstall the MacOSX operating system software. Is this the right approach to securely delete everything?
Thanks again for sharing your expertise and your guidance through this exercise.
Best regards,
Rob.

What is the different between payment methods Wire and EFT

Hi All
can anybody tell me What is the different between payment methods Wire and EFT ?
Regards ;

WIRE:
Wire is transfer of amount due directly to the supplier's bank it is an electronic transfer of funds
This mode of payment is used for international suppliers.
It can be paid in foreign currency or USD.
Wire payments are same day payments.
EFT:
EFT ensures funds transfer from one bank account to another using electronic links.
Can be used to make payments into domestic banks (within US) in USD only.
It is faster than check payments.
Hope this helps.

What is the use of finalized method ..even though

we know that java has inbuild garbage collector. then what is the need of finalized method.
can any one give me the answer please

The original idea was that you could use finalize() to clean up class-variable resources. For example, you might be (shudder) holding on to a database connection in a given object. The idea would be that you could close the connection within finalize().
However, and I am not totally sure on this, but there seems to be a few issues around finalize() getting called by the garbage collector. There are also a few posts I remember admonishing programmers not to call finalize() explicitly. So, for me at least, I do not use the method and ensure I clean up any resources I have references to manually.

6380-E mobo - what's the max CPU?

Hi - I have an MSI 6380-E (KT3-Ultra2) motherboard. The manual says an Athlon XP 2200+ is the fastest CPU it can handle.
However, I believe I read that up to an Athlon XP 3000+ can be used if the BIOS has been updated.
The AMI BIOS version is 5.70 - the last one MSI released for this motherboard.
What is the fastest CPU this motherboard can handle?
Thanks

Let me clear, I have bought WinSL 8.1 SNGL OLP NL Acdmc Legalization GetGenuine (part
No - 4HR-00400). It means my machine has legal OS and I can use it and I dont need to buy WinPro
8.1 SNGL Upgrd OLP NL Acdmc (Part no. - FQC-08173).
is it?
I believe that is correct. There should be no reason to buy both licenses for one machine. You should verify this with your reseller or MS.

What is the purpose of Static methods inside a class?

Hi,
What is the purpose of Static methods inside a class?
I want the answers apart from "A static method does not require instance of class(to access) and it can directly be accessed by the class name itself"
My question is what is the exact purpose of a static method ?
Unlike attributes, a separate copy of instance attributes will be created for each instance of a class where as only one copy of static attributes will be created for all instances.
Will a separate copy of instance method be created for each instance of a class and only one copy of static methods be create?
Points will be rewarded for all helpful answers.

Hi Sharma,
Static methods is used to access statics attributes of a class. We use static attributes when we want to share the same attribute with all instances of a class, in this case if you chage this attribute through the instance A this change will change will be reflected in instance B, C........etc.
I think that your question is correct -> a separate copy of instance method will be created for each instance of a class and only one copy of static methods be create ?
"A static method does not require instance of class(to access) and it can directly be accessed by the class name itself"
Static Method: call method class=>method.
Instance Method: call method instance->method.
Take a look at this wiki pages.

What are the minimum CPU and Memory requirements for R12 Vision instance?

We are in the process of trying to figure out what the minimum hardware requirements are for installing the R12 Vision instance. This Vision instance would only have 5 or less concurrent users. We may have to order a new server and we are wondering what the minimum CPU and memory would be? Oracle Support will not give us this information.
We aleady know how much disk space it will need.

K7N2 Delta: what are the fastest cpu available?

I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR with a AMD Athlon XP 2200+
I am thinking about upgrading the CPU.
On the product page: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K7N2_Delta-ILSR&class=mb
it says that it "Supports 600MHz up to Athlon™ XP 3000+ processor or higher"
What does that exactly mean?
It supports Athlon XP 3000+ but what is the "higher" processors that it can support??
??? ??? ???

Quote from: HenryW on 15-July-07, 04:29:19
CPU List HERE.
You just have to make sure you have BIOS as shown near top of list to support any 200/400Mhz FSB CPU you might get (Barton 3000+/3200+ ~ 200/400Mhz FSB). The earliest BIOS's only supported up to 166/333Mhz FSB
I'm also assuming you now have PC2100 RAM and you would also need to upgrade to either PC2700 or PC3200 depndinding on which CPU you get keeping in mind that PC3200 should also work with the 166/333Mhz CPU's
Thanks for the link.
I see that the AthlonXP 3000+ has a FSB of 166,
Higher than that there is the 3000+ and 3200+ with FSB of 200.
Now lets see if i understand correctly:
My current processor 2200+ (1.8ghz) has 133MHZ = FSB 266
The 3200+ (2.2ghz) has a 200 MHZ = FSB 400
The specifications of the board say that it supports fsb of 400 so it should work with that processor.
You say i have to upgrade the memory also?
Im using DDR333 - PC 2700 that operate at 166mhz
I need to switch to DDR400 - PC 3200 that operate at 200mhz for the 3200+ to work? Or can i still use my current memory?

What is the fastest CPU I could put in Satellite Pro L20

This is a desperate request for help!!
The Football Manager 2010 is coming out soon and my laptop needs to be up to scratch.
I know I need to upgrade it because Football Manager 2009 nearly killed it!
At the moment I have 1.4ghz Intel Celeron M chip and 704mb of ram.
What is the fastest chip I could put in? I've done a bit of research and found I can only have 2gb of ram
The laptop is in perfect working order so I don't want to buy a new one just for the sake of it and its served me well over the last 4 years - I've dropped it enough times! Just need to speed it up a bit!

Hmm... Do you really want to upgrade the pretty old Satellite Pro L20? I mean new notebooks are not so expensive anymore and I doubt that you will get a strong performance boost with new CPU.
Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pretested and nobody is able to say what other CPUs will run. But you should look on the specifications for other Satellite Pro L20 notebooks. If another L20 is equipped with faster CPU, it should also work in yours. You can try it but in worst case it will not work.
Good luck!

What's the maximum cpu speed?

My KT3V manual says that I can use 2.8GHZ CPU or higher.
Mine is a 1.7GHz one.
What's the limit to the above "higher". I have heard that a friend of mine uses a KT3V with a 3.2 GHZ (the latest released by MSI)
Thanks for claryfing this to me

You are right Maesus. The technical sheet shows the Barton XP 3000+ as the maximum possible cpu to use on this board. Perhaps I was confused or my friend, I won't hear from him until the beginin of July when he comes back from L.A.
Anyway, I'm not an expert, just a single user. If in the future it MSI launches a CPU higher than 3.0+ for 166/333MHZ chipset, can I expect to use it with the K3TV or this Barton would be the latest?
Thank you for your help

What is the advantage of using methods to return objects?

Hello there,
What is the advantage of using static methods to return
objects? Isnt this a Factory Pattern ?
What is the real advantage of using methods to return objects
rather than using public constructors to create objects ?
Can some one please explain
Regards

I think there were two questions. The first (why
static) is well answered but I hope somebody can
answer the general question - why whatever =
createSomething(); as opposed to whatever
= new Something(); - because inquiring minds
want to know.I thought I answered that question. Perhaps I need to be more specific.
For the Singleton pattern, you don't want a new instance (except possibly the first time, if you're using lazy instantiation).
For the Factory pattern, you might not always want an instance of the actual class containing the static methods, so new won't work.
If, on the other hand, neither of the above holds, there is no reason not to use new (unless, of course, anyone can come up with another use of static creators).

What are the most resource intensive Photoshop tutorials or Action Scripts

I'm trying to benchmark some RAM on a machine, and was planning on using Photoshop as a portion of the real world tests. So I was wondering what some of the most resourse intensive, yet realistic and common things to do are.
Alternatively, perhaps somebody knows of some highly complex tutorials I can follow along to and create a Action script myself. I just don't want my tests to be "Opened random image, doubled size, rotated 12-degreese, apply filter, bla bla bla".
I've been googling around a bit but nothing really caught my eye. I'd rather hear from real people than read through a bunch of "100 best photoshop Action scripts" all day, yaknow?
Cheers

What is the Fastest producer consumer method. Queue, RT-FIFO, Event

Hi all,
Another curly question for the pro's:
I have recently inherited some labview code that uses RT-FIFO for the transfer mechanism in the producer consumer architecture.
The code was first written 3-4 years ago and is presently in LV8.6. It is possible that the reasons for the architectural decision no longer exists.
I am skilled using a queued producer consumer architecure,
I understand the RT-FIFO Architecture.
I have begun using a user Event Based architecture.
(I have attached samples of each)
I also see the existance of a priority Queue
Each method has it's own capabilities and deficiencies, That aside, does anyone know the relative performance of each method.
(Assuming single process)
I would expect RT-FIFO to be fastest, it appears to be a low feature version of a standard queue.
What is the perfornace hit for using a more coding freindly Queue
The RT-FIFO description speaks of commications between time critical and lower priority threads.
Until today, I believed that Queues had the same capability.
I have included an event method I commonly use for peer review and to help to fellow users..
It allows:
1. Multiple producers with different data types
2. Processes repecting order of production.
3. Allows for asynchronus checking of functional notifiers such as stop, start and abort.
4. In a non real time system it can include front panel interactions.
What I don't understand about it is what overheads, or thread priority changes that may be experienced by using this architecture (it solves a lot of problems for me).
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you running into a situation where the difference in time between producing an event, and consuming it, is actually causing your problems? If not, this is not a question worth worrying about. Use whatever is most appropriate for your application.
There's no need to make wild guesses - build a VI, benchmark and test! The attached is a reasonable starting point, although I think the event structure may be slow due to setup time but may respond quickly once running. If you experiment with this, you'll probably find that there's no definite answer to which is fastest. Changing the size of the RT-FIFO, or of the queue, makes a big difference in speed. At least in my testing, a single-element RT-FIFO is fastest, but an infinitely large queue is faster than a small queue, and a longer RT-FIFO is much slower than the single-element version.
It's important to realize that RT is not another word for Fast or Efficient, it's another word for Consistent. For the purposes of real-time (deterministic) execution, it doesn't matter how fast the RT-FIFO functions are so long as they execute in exactly the same amount of time, every time (with the exception of a "forever" timeout value, of course). You can use either a standard queue or an RT-FIFO to communicate between loops. One use for an RT-FIFO is when a time-critical loop is enqueuing the data. It guarantees that the amount of time needed to put data into the FIFO will not vary. Enqueueing data in a standard queue will sometimes be faster than other times, depending on whether there is already space available in the queue or space needs to be allocated for the new element. If this variation is unacceptable, then use an RT-FIFO; otherwise, the standard queue works just as well.
If the architecture shown in your image is working for you, I don't see any reason to change it.
EDIT: oops, almost forgot to attach the code I used for testing!

What's the best bext export method

Hello,
I've just finished editing my feature film and I'm now ready to export with DVD as the final output. My footage was shot at 1080i and downconverted to SD during transfer. What I want to know, is what is the best method to export? Should I just export the file as a Quicktime file and if so what codec is recommended for best quality. Or should I export using compressor and then send the files to DVDSP. I just don't want to waste a lot of disk space on trial and error in achieving the best results. Thaks in advace.

Hi Tazz,
yes encode video as an MPEG 2 and keep C and VBR bit rates between 4 and 7.
and make sure to encode sound as ac3 (dolby digital professional sound, click on the + button on the top right corner of settings tab to select it ).
The info and guidance you need if you wondered about this or the other setting
in the inspector tab can be found in the manual, which is short and easy to use.
alternatevely for quick and easy steps to encode with Compressor click on the
link below and select Compresso3 tutorials.
