What sytem is used for determining where the mac book or cell phone located?  WEB?  Cellphone towers?

I am fumbling thru for the first time using this system.  I am interested in determining what system is used to determine the location of the iphone, macbook pro.  Is it based on WEB comnecttivity or Cell phone tower connectivity? 
I do not believe it is based on satillites.  Is this true?
Thank you for your time and effort.

I believe that it also uses GPS (if it is a devices with GPS such as an iPhone or iPad with Cellular) which does involve satellites.

    About my experience working with events:
    In one of my BW Project: we were using AutoSys to do job scheduling (to run InfoPackages).
    To automate the loading process we created events for  each infopackage. Then in that Infopackage we used to select option "Start later in Background" and then select option "After Event". Then specified the event name and parameter.
    Then in the same infopackage we selected button "Subsequent Process" the in that seelct option "Trigger Events" Here you can have options to specify if this event is successful then what next event to trigger and if this event fails what next event to trigger.
    So this way we used to automate data loads.
    This was dont caz there was no process chains concept during that time. So good example of events and event based process are PROCESS CHAINS.
    Hope this helps !!
    Assign points if helps !!

    Newer versions of Photoshop ships with Adobe Bridge for Organizing image files.  However your not required to use it.  You can also use LightRoom or system utilities like Windows File explorer and Mac Finder.  Photoshop itself uses System dialogs to access your file systems files.   When Photoshop display an Open or Save dialog to you in all probability its a Windows or Mac System dialog.  Photoshop versions may also have some internal Photoshop Dialogs programed by Adobe for accessing your systems file systems.

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

    I have made some progress.... I can print wirelessly from my printer now, but I can't set the printer itself to be wireless.  I had to move my printer downstairs to where my router is...which is not that convient.   I printed up the page you asked about....and as expected, it says it is off line and there is no IP address.    So now I need to figure out how to make my printer itself wireless.  I did download the HP driver I needed...but I can't access it to do anything else.  It seems l like I am missing a step... or I need to hook up my computer itself to the printer to help get the printer to be wirelss, but I can't hook it up because there is no port for me to do that (no port that looks like a phone jack).  I am guessing I would need a different type of cord, but I am not sure what kind of cord that would be! Ugh!

  • What are state objects, and what are they used for ?

    Wrapper classes are used to enclose primitive data
    types so that they can be used in instances where an
    object is required. For example, if you want to add an
    integer to an ArrayList, you can't use this:java.util.List al = new ArrayList();
    int i=123;
    al.add(i);because the ArrayList expects data of type object. In
    order to all the integer to the ArrayList, you must wrap
    it in the Integer wrapper class. This works:java.util.List al = new ArrayList();
    int i=123;
    al.add(new Integer(i));Hope that helps.
