What is the Profile Drawer in Network System Prefs for?

I'm struggling with my very illogical d-link DWL-G122. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... blah... Anyway, that's a different story. My question is, what is the Profile Drawer for in Network System Prefs? I can add my available wireless network, but it works even if it's not added. And why would I want to edit/activate/delete it etc? I've done a quick search and can't find any documentation to help me understand it. Can anyone help?
THANKS!

It's not really to add your network, it's to keep others out. If you have a neighbor with a strong signal you keep automatically switching to, you can eliminate that by using the list of preferred networks. Of course, if he has a reliable connection and you don't, that might not be desirable...

  • What are the requirements in terms of system drive for visual studio 2013

    According to this thread "visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2120283-allow-users-to-install-entirely-to-another-hard-dr"  it is not possible to install visual studio fully on another drive rather that
    the system drive. This link "visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-professional-with-msdn-vs#Fragment_SystemRequirements" states the system requirement for visual studio pro 2013. However can somebody clarify what is needed in terms of system drive
    requirement e.g. out of the 20 gb, how much is needed on the system drive.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Exact space required will vary widely based on installation components chosen and what you may have already installed on your system.
    And When you install your VS in another Drive and run the VS installer, you can see system requirement in installation screen.
    Because my work computer only have C Drive, I test the VS2012 professional installation in my home computer E drive. The Screen below:
    I think the system requirement can also display when you install  VS 2013.
    Best Wishes!

  • What's the safest way to reload system software

    What's the safest method to reload system software on an intel iMac? My wife's iMac has been behaving erratically.  I have run hardware and virus scans and found no issues. Virus software is Saphos and up to date. Problems began after a brief (5 second) power failure in the neighborhood. My Mac Pro seems fine. Both were on and connected to the internet at the time. I've run a full backup on the iMac so all important files are protected. What next?

    Also, your system may have been slow because you installed antivirus software.
    DO NOT reinstall Sophos Antivirus.
    OS X has it's own built-in software tools to help in detecting or blocking of potential malware.
    Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus is you, the user and your brain.
    Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
    Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or sources.
    Java is a vulnerability right now, if you do not need it, don't use it.
    Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
    Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
    Install security updates when they become available
    Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
    In effect, use your brain as the AV filter.
    Follow that advice and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't feel the need to have to install antivirus software.

  • What is the best approach to capture TBOM's for a SAP SRM system/functionality?

    Hello SCN Community,
    It would be much appreciated if somebody could share some information about the following....
    What is the best approach to create TBOM's for a SAP SRM system? The SRM functionality is basically consisting out of multiple ABAP Web Dynpro's that are connected as a process via a SAP Portal (as is understand it). The entrypint to the SRM functionality is via the SAP Portal.
    Do I first have to create a link to the Portal via an SAP Web Application link in SOLAR01 and then start recording? Will it record only the portal objects or also the ABAP Web Dynpro objects?
    Do I have to list all the separate ABAP Web Dynpro's in SOLAR01 and use those as a starting point?
    I am myself more familair with more classical SAP ABAP ECC systems and transactions.  I could hardly find any information on the use of BPCA and the required TBOM's in the area of SRM.... Any help would be much appreciated!
    Kind Regards,
    Guido Jacobs

  • What's the meaning of "Parallel Operating System" and "Parallel Desktop"?

    What's the meaning of "Parallel Operating System" and "Parallel Desktop"?
    Also, what is Boot camp? Are they all the same?

    Boot Camp installs Windows directly on your Mac so you reboot your system to switch between OS X (the "Mac" experience) and Windows if you need to use it for any reason.
    The problem with boot camp is that you cannot use your Mac applications along with any that require Windows, so companies like Parallels have developed "virtualization" programs that allow you to install Microsoft Windows within OS X and run Windows inside of your Mac instead of "next" to it as is the case with Boot Camp. You open the program and boot a Windows installation that loads in a separate window, all while you have Safari, the OS X Finder, Mail, Calendar, and other programs on your Mac still running in the background.
    In this regard, the benefit of Parallels Desktop and similar applications is that they allow you to run a Windows program alongside those for OS X so you do not interrupt your workflow in order to reboot to Windows and use them.

  • What is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable?

    what is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable? This is quite a problem since macbook white is not in production anymore.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

  • What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

    What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at  individual PXI system).

    Dear Ravens,
    I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
    Ravens Fan wrote:
    Either.  For the best performance, you need to determine what that means.  Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables?  If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
    You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical.  That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

  • I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

    I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me??  Please?

    What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
    Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
    ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

  • What is the best on line bill pay software for mac

    What is the best on line bill pay software for the Mac.  I just switched over from Windows and now realize Quicken for Mac doesnt have on-line bill pay (which in 2013 seems amazing to me).  I really dont care about any of the other features in Quicken beside the bill pay feature, so if anyone has any recommendations, it would be most appreciated.  Thanks.

    Most banks have purely website based bill pay systems.   I would ask your bank if they have one.   Those are more compatible, and more secure than third party systems.  If they are browser specific, then they are not secure.
