What is the point of dashboard??? help me understand please....

i still don't understand what the point of dashboard is. why would i want to use any of these neat little gadgets when i can just use a browser.
so if someone can please help me understand the point of why i would use a google widget instead of just using google on safari.
same goes with most of the little widgets.
i really wish i could find a reason to use it. every so often i will d/l some new neat looking widgets but i never use them. except maybe the one that helps copy album covers.

Personally, I agree with some widgets seeming pointless. I don't use any google widget or anything. It is just as easy to open Safari, like you said. However, I do find a number of widgets very helpful and informative. I use the Ski widget during the winter to check conditions - save's a little time because all I have to do is open dashboard instead of navigating to the website. Other widgets I use show me weather, new yahoo emails, alert me if a site has been updated, shows me upcoming iCal events, etc and they all serve to give me quick bits of information at the press of a button, and it's all in one place. In order to do what I just listed without Dashboard, I'd have to open a number of websites and applications.
So basically, Dashboard is a timesaver. If you don't find any use for it, there are ways to turn it off. However, many people, like me, do find various widgets that we use all the time... to each his own I guess.

    Hello Pushtheriver,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

    This may also help:
    Understanding iOS device capacity
    You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
    If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

  • What's the point of warranty?

    I am a student coming from Hong Kong  to London for postgraduate study. Before I left Hong Kong, I decided to buy a netbook for my lecturers in the UK. Lenovo s10-2 was chosen because the version available in HK comes with 6 cell battery with international warranty and Lenovo Protection Service (against accidental damage).
    This is the first Lenovo machine for me. All was well and I was starting to appreciate Lenovo. Suddenly, the LED screen started to flick with white lines moving across the it, just two weeks after I bought it from Hong Kong.
    Yesterday, I called the UK support line who initially suggested replacement (because the purchase is last than 30-day old). However, when the agent found out that I bought the machine in Hong Kong, he said I could only get it repairs. Fair enough.
    I packed the netbook this afternoon ready to ship it to the repair center. Being not sure about whether or not my proof of purchase was needed, I called the support line again. This time, the agent gave me a "friendly warning" or maybe a management of my expectations.
    I was told that Lenovo believes that there is a 99.5% chance that these type of problems are due to “internal damages" caused by users! I was also advised that sending the machine in for repairs risk myself getting into paying 230 pounds (pretty much the purchase cost) to get the LED screen fixed because it is likely to be not covered by warranty. On top of that, I would have to pay 65 pounds even if I want my netbook back after inspection without getting fixed because again, 99.5% chance that "damages by users" would be concluded!
    What's the point of warranty? Totally unacceptable. Any thoughts? Should I take the risk?
    I only got the machine just over two weeks ago and used for less than 10 times!

    seblee,
    This bears a bit of looking into to provide you the best answer.   Sometimes, the accidental damage policies are only valid in the home country, and I would like to check.  If that were to be the case, you would have replacement or repair options in HK, but standard warranty terms would likely apply in UK.
    Your situation sounds exceptional, and I'd like to look into this and see what can be done.
    Can your send me a private message with your contact information and the serial number from the bottom of the unit?
    Sorry that you are having this trouble.  Will see how we can help.

  • JWSDP and J2EE Integration: Doesn't work. What's the point?

    My problems involve the integration of JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
    It looks like a long one, but it�s really not that bad. All comments are appreciated.
    I�ve numbered each line-paragraph-section for easy reference later.
    (1) My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website that uses servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), and JDBC.
    (2) I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
    1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
    2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
    3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
    4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
    (3) On MyWebServer I installed the following:
    Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
    Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
    Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP)
    The JWSDP tutorial
    Apache HTTP Server
    (4) The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
    j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
    j2sdkee-1_3_1-win.exe
    jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
    jwsdp-1_0-ea1_01-tutorial.zip
    apache_1.3.23-win32-x86-no_src.exe
    (5) After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
    JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
    J2EE_HOME = c:\j2ee
    JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
    Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\j2ee\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
    (6) I checked to see that Apache is running as a service. It is.
    On MyWebServer I start Tomcat and J2EE. Both start properly and are operating simultaneously.
    (7) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1
    This displays the page c:\ApacheHTTP\apache\htdocs\index.html.en (The Apache default server installation page.)
    (8) I then enter this address in IE:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080
    This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html (The default JWSDP page).
    (9) I then enter this address in IE:
    http://10.10.1.1:8000
    This displays the page c:\j2ee\public_html\index.html (The J2EE 1.3 Default Home Page).
    (10) So far so good. Now I want to test JWSDP as a container for JSP pages.
    (11) I use ant to build the converter app found in the tutorial examples (in folder c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs). I then deploy the converter app to the c:\jwsdp\webapps\gs folder.
    (12) From MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
    The converter app works perfectly.
    (13) To eliminate the need to enter the port number, I create a link from the Apache default server installation page to the converter app. From MyClientPC and enter this address into IE:
    http://10.10.1.1
    I then click on the link to the converter app and it works perfectly.
    (14) Question: Is this the best way to display JSP pages without having to enter the port number?
    (15) Now it�s time to integrate JWSDP and J2EE as described in these two documents:
    http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/wsj2ee/
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/documentation/windows_guide.html
    (16) After I complete this integration I cannot start both Tomcat and J2EE at the same time. This makes sense because they both share port 8080.
    I start Tomcat.
    (17) From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses. Everything works the same as it did before except this one:
    http://10.10.1.1:8000
    The page cannot be displayed. The J2EE default home page is not displayed, which makes sense because the J2EE port is no longer 8000; it has been changed to 8080.
    (18) Now I shutdown Tomcat and start J2EE.
    From MyClientPC and use Internet Explorer to test the various relevant addresses:
    (19) http://10.10.1.1:8080
    Displays the JWSDP default home page.
    (20) http://10.10.1.1:8080/gs
    The page cannot be displayed. The converter app no longer works.
    (21) From MyWebServer and use Internet Explorer to test localhost:
    http://localhost:8080
    This displays the J2EE default home page.
    (22) Question: Why does localhost give me a different page than the IP address?
    (23) Question: What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
    (24) I want to get the converter app working, so I create a .war file and attempt to add it to the J2EE deploytool (see the two integration documents listed above at section 15.) I create the .war file following the instructions in the JWSDP tutorial:
    http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea1/tutorial/doc/WebApp3.html#64606
    (25) I change to the c:\jwsdp\�\tutorial\examples\gs\build folder.
    I then type:
    jar cvf converter.war .
    A .war file is created.
    (26) I open the deploytool: File, New, Application, and I name it �converter�.
    I attempt to add the .war file: File, Add to Application, Web WAR.
    (27) When I attempt to add the converter.war file I get this error:
    �converter.war does not appear to be a valid web JAR.�
    I tried a few different attempts, all with the same result. I�m stuck.
    (28) I ask again, What was the point of integrating JWSDP and J2EE?
    (29) If this is the preferred configuration, how do I display my JSP pages like the converter app?
    Please help!!!

    The JWSDP tutorial says to be in the �build� folder of the example when issuing the jar command to create the .war file. The build folder is created when I run the �ant build� command.
    Attempt 1 from the command prompt in folder c:\jwsdp\tutorial\examples\gs\build>
    I typed this command:
    jar cvf c:\jaxmservices\converter.war .
    In this case I directed the .war file to be placed in a different folder as you suggested. Here�s the output:
    added manifest
    adding: index.jsp(in = 921) (out= 525)(deflated 42%)
    adding: WEB-INF/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
    adding: WEB-INF/classes/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)
    adding: WEB-INF/classes/Converter.class(in = 582) (out= 358)(deflated 38%)
    Didn�t work. Same error as before.
    Attempt 2 from the same folder:
    I typed this command as you suggested (I tried it with and without the final dot):
    jar tvf converter.war
    Here is the output:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: converter.war (The system cannot find the file specified)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)
    at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:185)
    at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:904)
    I tried a few other variations on these attempts with no luck. I�m stuck.
    I�m attempting to create a .war file out of two files: index.jsp and converter.class.
    Now that I�ve integrated JWSDP and J2EE, is there some other way that I can run the converter app instead of a .war file and the deploytool? In other words, if I go back to using ant to build and deploy converter, where would I deploy it so that it will work with J2EE?
    By the way, it doesn�t have to be converter. I�d be happy if I could get any JSP page to work in J2EE after the integration.
    Forever grateful,
    Logan

  • What's the point in buying a new MacBook?

    Hi all,
    Recently I went with my iBook G4 to the Apple store to troubleshoot a small problem, but they were unable to help me as after only 7 years, the machine was rendered obsolete and they didn't feel obliged to help. My iBook recently died and I felt like a part of me was missing.
    So my question is, what is the point of buying myself a brand new MacBook Pro if in 5 or 6 years, it will be obsolete? I want a Mac that will last me wherever I go for a long time before it finally dies. I've realized that I need to put PowerPC computers out of the question, but will intel processer Macs last longer than PowerPC processors?
    For the record, I don't want to switch to Microsoft as I find them difficult and this isn't a crack at Apple.
    Any answers are very appreciated,
    Thomas.

    With Intel based Macs the hardware will not become obsolete as fast as PPC based Macs did, but the operating system and/or applications used might.
    That does not mean that it will stop working, just that you won't, in a few years' time, be able to get the latest bells and whistles.
    Officially, support from Apple ceases after seven years - but that does not stop the Macs working!
    Vintage and obsolete Apple products:
    Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products. These include ALL G4 and G5 models.

  • What's the point in icluding?

    Hello people,
    I'm wondering: what's the point in including code in a JSP using the
    <%@include...%> directive if I must "touch" every single page that is including it if I want the modified verion of the included page to be reloaded by the server?!
    Is there a way around this?
    I know that including with <jsp:include.../> will have the server reload the included page if it has been modified.
    But if I use this type of include, variables defined and intialized in the included page won't be visible by the parent page and that doesn't help me at all (or am I mistaking on this one? please tell me).
    Thanks a lot for any help,
    svevo.

    Hi guys, thanks for answering! :)
    Still though what I'm reading here doesn't solve my problem:
    using
    <jsp:include page="myinclude.jsp" flush="true" />
    doesn't let objects and/or variables in the including page to be visible in the included page and viceversa and that's a problem for the webapp I'm developing.
    On the other hand files included with
    <%@include file="myinclude.jsp"%>
    are not reloaded unless the including page is reloaded as well (and that's a pain and makes including code this way basicly worthless IMHO).
    What I need is a way to include code that will be able to use objects and variable declared and initialized in the including page and that we'll reload each time it is changed without having to track each single page using the included code and modify that as well so that is realoded by the server. Nor I can reload tomcat.
    So, has anybody encountered the same problem?
    Has anyone found a workaround for this?
    Thanks a lot! :)

  • What's the point of this code?

    Hi, I'm getting an error in a program.
    So I went to look in the code where the error is displayed.
    And I found this:
    z_nbjr = sy-datum - z_fromdt.
    if z_nbjr > 1.
      message is displayed.
    Now, z_fromdt is the value TVARV-LOW for 'ZVDL_VBUK_LAST_RUN', and the message that is displayed is 'Please rebuild index file ZVDL_VBUK'.
    Can anyone explain to me what is the point of this? What is TVARV-LOW?
    And why do they make this check? And how do I rebuild the index file?

    As Pushpraj has already pointed out correctly, TVARV is where the variants are stored. It's rather strange that you've never seen fields like LOW and HIGH, because they're also used in the ABAP range tables (see Help for command RANGES).
    Since this is all your custom development, we, unfortunately, cannot know what is the point of all this. I'm guessing that the message to "rebuild the index" is also custom and, therefore, you would need to find a documentation for the program in question or ask your colleagues what this could mean. Also check if there is a long text available for the message (although I doubt that).
    Most likely it's some kind of an internal process of running some other program.

  • What's the point of recovery partition when I have to DL the whole thing anyway?

    Well I was supposed to sell my Macbook Air today.
    I tried booting CMD-R into the recovery partition and instead it went to some online thing.
    So then I booted Option, into the recovery partition and clicked on Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    Next thing ya know its got me logging into the Apple Store and now it has a 7 hour download.
    So what is the point of the recovery partition if it can't do a fresh copy of Mountain Lion?  What exactly is it to help me recover from?  What if I was in the hills of Indonesia and tried to do this?
    Any now I can't sell this thing until tomorrow as I have a seven hour download wait ahead of me.  Had I knows, I would have let that be the new owners problem.  Or somehow made a backup of ML previously.
    Silly Apple. Always advertising something so great that turns out to be useless.

    The silly part is not alerting the user that when you download and install that the .ESD installer package will be deleted and to make a copy of it.
    The system you download - guesstimates can be way off - check with speedtest.net - is associated with YOU and your Apple ID and the best thing to do is any OEM material and a blank hard drive - and printout of ML Recovery Mode tech article on doing an internet based install.
    Yes you could have setup a 4GB installer flash drive or on your hard drive. Yes they could maintain that 4GB on a larger Recovery partition (it is less than 1GB).

  • What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?

  • What's the point of redo logs?

    Why does Oracle bother writing everything to redo logs? If it's going to write data changes to the disk, why not just write them once to the data files and be done with it? What's the point of doing it twice? And if it's a redundancy thing, why not mirror the data disks?

    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    How would you backup a database while it is in use ? You can't lock all the datafiles to prevent writes to them. Yet, transactions may be updating different blocks in different datafiles even as the backup is in progress. Say your backup starts with datafile 1 (or even datafiles 1,2,3,4 in parallel) at time t0. By time t5, it has copied 20% of the datafile to tape or alternate disk backup location. Along comes a transaction that updates the 100th block (somewhere within the 10-11% range) of datafile 1 and also the 60th block of datafile 5. Meanwhile, the backup continues running, already having taken a prior image of the 100th block and not being aware that the block has been changed. At time t25 it completes datafile 1 (or datafiles 1,2,3,4) and starts backing up datafile 5. Now, when it copies the 60th block of datafile 5, it (the backup utility) doesn't know that this block is inconsistent with the backup image of the 100th block of datafile 1.
    Instead of 1 transaction imagine 100 or 1000 transactions occurring while the backup is running.
    Surely, Oracle must be able to regenerate a consistent image of the whole database when it is restored ?
    That is what the Redo stream provides. The Redo stream is written to Archivelogs so that it can be backed up -- no Archivelog file is "in flux" (particularly if you use RMAN to backup the Archivelogs as well !).
    Had Oracle been merely writing to the datafiles alone, without a Redo stream, there is no way it could recreate a consistent database -- whether after Crash Recovery OR after Media Recovery.Interesting point about how redo logs facilitate backups. So what you're saying is that the redo logs help keep the data in the actual data files in a consistent state by only writing full transactions to them at a time. Presumably Oracle will either write out the redo log data to the data files before a backup or will at least prevent the redo logs from writing to the data files during a backup. I always wondered how databases got around that problem of keeping the system available for writing during a backup. I wonder how SQL Server does it.
    Hemant K Chitale wrote:
    Now, approach this from another angle. A database consists of 10 or 100 or 500 datafiles. You have 10 or 100 or 1000 sessions issuing COMMITs to complete their transactions, which could be of 1 row or 100 rows or 1million rows, each transaction of a different size. Should the 1000 sessions be forced to wait while Oracle writes all those updated blocks to disk in different datafiles -- how many blocks can it write in "an instant" ?
    But what if Oracle manages to write much less information -- the bare minimum (called "change vectors") to re-play every transaction to a single file serially ? That would be much faster. Imagine writing to 500 datafiles concurrently, having to open the file, progess to the required block address and update the block, for each block changed in each file VERSUS writing much lesser information serially to a single file -- if the file is full, switch to another file, but keep writing serially.As to your second point, I don't really have a good enough understanding about the format of redo logs vs. the data files to follow you totally. Are you saying that it takes more time to write to the data files because you have to find the proper place in the B-Tree before you can write to it? And that doing that is slower than just opening the redo log and always appending new information to the very end? Maybe so, but it seems like all transactions having to write to a single redo log in serial would slow things down since there would be a ton of contention for one file. Whereas with the data files, you could potentially have several transactions writing to different files simultaneously (provided you hardware would support doing that). And it seems to me like a change vector would contain a lot more information than a field value, but, like I said, I'm not really familiar with the format.

  • What's the point of updates - if..

    Why do the upgrades tend to mess up my other applications? DVD Studio Pro - Bluetooth. I just feel what's the point of getting upgrades now. I did the Pro Application Support application which did take care of my DVD SP - however shouldn't upgrades be exactly that - UPGRADING - not have causes more problems. Taking time away from the work that needs to be done. Sorry - just had to rant a bit.

    If you do a search on these forums it would probably boil down to doing these things.
    Permissions Repair
    Whenever a program that's installed places items into the /Library folder and Applications folder, it often has to amend permissions in order to do so which is why authenticating as an 'Admin' user is required so that it's able to carry out these amendments and place files where they should be and have their correct permissions assigned. Sometimes this change is not always corrected and may affect other programs operation. To help reduce side affects like normal User account being able to change and delete programs in the 'Applications' folder. Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities has a 'Permissions Repair' routine which ensures that the proper permissions are assigned based on their package rules.
    Cron Scripts
    These are scripts which the OS usually initiates itself, but performing them manually by using the Terminal can be beneficial.
    Good programs worth looking into are, Onyx available at www.macupdate.com
    Running it's maintenance scripts means you don't have to go into the Terminal manually and it does it's stuff very well, I've used it since 10.2 and never had a problem with it, it's updated regular, it's free and better than similar programs doing the same both free and those that charge.
    Safe Boot
    Starting up the computer after the chime and holding the 'Shift' key down, runs the fsck command, which verifies and fixes any problems with a startup volume, though not all, it also deletes the font cach and databases, so some issues with fonts can be helped by doing this, also if you seem to be getting conflicts in software, this can help to make sure the Apple components are working fine as it only loads the minimum 'kexts' and drivers so the computer operates, almost the equivalent in OS9 but not exactly.
    There's lots more but doing these few things can help keep a system in shape, especially if no time was spent doing it beforehand. A note though, doing Permissions repair is not part of a 'Regular' maintenance routine, if you see message like 'Do not have permission' then it's worth doing it then.

  • What's the point of the "Contact Support" button?

    What's the point of having a "contact support" button when all you get is an automatic email response like this?  "Thank you for contacting BlackBerry(r) App World(tm) support. This is an automated response to your inquiry. Direct support is unavailable through the "Contact Support" button"?  Direct support is not available through "contact support"?!?!??!  WT?  This kind of "customer support"  will have me looking at Androids and iPhones when my contract is up in June..

    And when you get an Android or iPhone, don't you contact your carrier for front-line support, just like with a BlackBerry?  And does Android and iPhone offer support forums such as this one?  (Perhaps they do, I'm just asking.) 
    Fact is, when you download an app from AppWorld, the "contact support" button does work for apps developed by third-party developers.  Because AppWorld itself is a BlackBerry product, that would go through your carrier or here. 
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

    It's a fairly safe bet the post you're looking for with a converter suggestion was in regards to BADAK. If not you'll probably find the one you seek in some thread that includes a reference to BADAK. Try a forum search with that keyword. Things sometimes move around but don't often vanish completely unless the underlying forum software changes.

  • I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    i have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my iphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FORUM?

    What is the point of this forum when over half the questions go unanswered?
    In fact, what is the point of creating and selling a product that so many people can't even install without an expert looking over their shoulder?
    This really sucks! I am really sorry that I elected a major in Oracle Development.

    Erin,
    There are reasons for doing controlled releases, and your implementation experience with prior upgrades is one of them.
    Doing an upgrade requires the management of the underlying repository, the underlying repository has changed significantly from 309 to 902 owing to the introduction of OID and other significant changes to the architecture.
    Running a controlled release allows Oracle to ensure that the final upgrade scripts when made publicly available are as solid and bug-free as possible whilst allowing those customers who wish to upgrade sooner rather than later and take part in the feedback process can do so with the knowledge that Oracle can help them should they come across any issues.
    We currently have over 150 customers running the upgrade scripts and providing feedback, so much so that we are hoping to release them publicly in the very near future.
    On another note, I should point out that in your post you are referring to DB upgrade versions and not Application Server upgrade versions..
