What will happen to Windows XP activation after April 2014?

It's not news that Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows XP in 2014, but I've found no clear answer whether activation of Windows XP will still be possible. Back in old days, I've purchased quite a few boxes of Windows XP, and still a few unboxed
now.
I know it's an old OS and Microsoft no longer supports it, but if I choose to use it on my very old computer just to have fun, despite all the security risks, will the product key still work the way it's meant to be? Will I still be possible to activate
my copy after 2014?

An existing XP installation WILL become invalid if you have to change the configuration of the hardware it is running on. If you have to change any of these:
1. Display Adapter
2. SCSI Adapter
3. IDE Adapter (effectively the motherboard)
4. Network Adapter (NIC) and its MAC Address
5. RAM Amount Range (i.e., 0-64mb, 64-128mb, etc.)
6. Processor Type
7. Processor Serial Number
8. Hard Drive Device
9. Hard Drive Volume Serial Number (VSN)
10. CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVD-ROM
we WILL need to re-activate. Many of us have users with software that will not run on newer Windows releases and have no desire to upgrade.
This is a valid concern.

What will happen to the data block after data offloading?

HI All,
Since offloading can filter out the necessary information such as unnecessary columns and rows before they are passed to the database, I want to know what will happen to the data block? Will some new blocks be built at this time,which only contains the useful information?
Best regards,
Leon

Andy Klock wrote:
The statement seems to imply that Exadata has the ability to strip out columns from a block, but a block is a block is a block. Offloading is remarkable at filtering out data in the storage layer that ultimately is not needed but if you only need one row in a block that has 100 rows in it, you still get the whole block (and all 100 rows) to be processed by Oracle. The columns portion of the statement is when HCC is used for a table allowing only the blocks containing the column data required for the query, and thus if a block has 1000 column values in it, it will pass all 1000 column values to the instance to be processed.These assertions are incorrect.
Blocks sent to the database grid as a result of a Smart Scan contain only the necessary columns and rows for the db grid to do its processing (after filter restrictions and projection restrictions are applied). These Smart Scan blocks are created at run time by the storage server so they have no bearing on the blocks that reside physically on disk which is why they can not be reused by other queries via the SGA and are read directly into the PGA space.

HT201303 what will happen to my apple id after 5 time using it on iTunes on PC?

I have installted windows and formatted the drive ( disk c ) 4 times and my apple ID in the PC when I authorized it said you authorize 5 out of 5 times. I never used it on another computer but now what should i do? I did not know that I shoud deauthorize it befor formatting. so what will happen to my apple ID. please help me and give me more shots or find me a solution.thanks a lot.

If you've reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computer(s) you're using now.
For the future, it's best to deauthorize your system before reformatting the drive and reinstalling. That will help prevent a single computer from using up multiple authorizations.

What will happen if I delete ACTIVE logfile member

hi gurus
JUST FOR TESTING.
Consider the situation as follows
I create a table,insert some rows into the table,then do a log switch. And then I remove the logfile which still in the "ACTIVE" states with operating system command.
Finally I shutdown and restart the database, the database complains that the logfile group does not
exist,so I drop the logfile group and open the database. I run a query against the table I created before,data still exists.
The result of the test make me fell strange.
Accornding to my knowledge, logfile in the 'ACTIVE' state means that the data protected by the logfile have not been written to the datafile.So I expect the table will not exists after I drop the logfile and then restart the database.
Why the data are still there?
Thanks a lot.

HT4914 What will happen to my uploaded songs after iTunes match subscription expired.

My iTunes match subscrption just expired a week ago, and I press "No Thanks" button on my computer. Of course all my uploaded songs disappear on my computer, if I change my mind now and resubscrpt. Will I still get back my songs? My iPad is still showing those songs though...

Hi,
At present, if you delete a track from your library, instead of asking if you wish to delete from the cloud you are asked if you wish to hide song.
This indicates that the songs will remain on the Apple server. For how long, I do not know but certainly, songs deleted in the past have immediately been recognised as previously uploaded.
This obviously speeds up process if you have to rematch your library or decide to re subscribe at a later date.

Hi All,
I've never used migration assist before. so im hoping to get some answers to a few question before i migrate over to an iMac from a macbook.
I'm wondering what will happen to my old mac after i move over to the new imac. i want to keep using my old macbook when im not home.
i understand that i can migrate, users, settings, files and/or apps across to the new mac.
So,
1. what happens to user account on the old mac after MA? will it deactivate?
no. MA makes absolutely no changes to the computer you are migrating from.
(im thinking this b'cos its called a ' "migration" assistant' meaning im permanently moving from one to another)
2. what will happen to all my music in itunes? will i loose them in the old mac?
no. as i said, the old computer will not be affected in any way.
3. i have many paid apps. Am i allowed to move it over to another mac?
that depends on the license for a particular app.
and does it deactivate/delete the apps in the old mac? what happens if i get 2 copies of apps? (am guessing one copy will stop working, if thats true how you choose?)
no, both copies will work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. the support document dont really explain much about the what happens to the old mac.
Your tips and suggestion are welcome.
thanks in advance. cheers~!

What will happen to iPod 5G's info when I do a fresh Windows install?

Title basically says it all. I've been using my iPod Video as a storage device as well as for music, and I'm going to do a clean install of Windows XP in the near future-my CD/DVD drive has somehow failed to respond (code 41), so reinstalling Windows to factory settings should do the trick. Only problem I can foresee is what will happen to all the data on my iPod when I reinstall the CD software for iTunes and my iPod drivers-will all the data on my iPod disappear when I reconnect it to my laptop for the first time?
Just wondering if anyone's done this before, as I'll assume it's a typical topic.

When the iPod is connected to the PC after reinstalling Windows, a message will appear asking you if you want to change the computer the iPod is associated with will appear if iTunes is installed; pressing Erase & Sync on this dialog box will delete all content on the iPod that was synced from iTunes. Content copied to the iPod outside of iTunes will not be erased by iTunes unless you explicitly restore the iPod.

I have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?

Authorization determines to which computers material requiring authorization can be transferrred using the itunes interface. If you want to re-download past purchases then a computer need to be authorized.
As for transferring music from the iPod, your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

what will happen to the stuff in my keychain after today? I don't want iCloud. Can I keep the keychain in my system under lion? Can someone please help me?

Thank you Sig. Well I keep all my passwords in my keychain. I'm concerned I'll lose them after today. I understand that keychain will be obsolete after today. I don't want icloud either, because I don't want all my personal info on a server. I want to keep my personal information in my system. Am I making any sense? Can you make any suggestions or offer any insights around this?

Hello Robert,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
Thanks.

One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

What will happen for games after restoring?

Hello,
As my iphone has problem with push notification and it sends them even after reading the message, I want to restore my phone. I have backup on iTuens but not sure if I restore to them it solves my problem, because created the backup last night, when there was this problem.
Also I am not sure what will happen on some games like NFS or Temple Run? How can I have the corrent score on the restored game?
Thanks,

Hard to say, but if your problem is being caused by corrupt data on your phone, restoring from backup will merely restore the problem. What you could do is first try restoring from backup. If your issue is fixed, you're good to go. If not, then you'll have to restore as new.

What will happen after this?

I have a procedure kicked off yesterday to update a table. But I killed it this morning. Just after I killed the session, I kicked off another SQL to perform the same task to update the same table and same columns but faster.
What is happening right now is: the Oracle is performing a roll back on the killed procedure while the new SQL is running.
So here are my questions:
1. what will happen later when the SQL is completed and the roll back is not done yet?
2. Will the roll back affect the new SQL updates?
Thanks,

Dive into the concepts manual. A basic concept of Oracle [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/consist.htm#CNCPT020]concurrency and consistency is that each (something) gets a view of the database at the start of the (something). (something) is usually a transaction or statement, depending on configuration and programming. Oracle uses System Change Numbers to figure out if each view should include any particular version of block data, kind of like a clock.
So basically, it all works, but you may see performance impacts just because stuff is happening, and you may see odd effects if you don't understand what you are doing. It is different than other database engines.

After MD81- what will happen to already generated planned Order

Dear Experts,
I have few doubts,please check the details below.
1.After MD81 for Finished Material, what will happen to already generated planned Order.
2. For Standard finished material, can MTS material planned order be clubbed and generate one planned order.?
3.For standard Finished material, can MTO materials, planned order be clubbed and generate one planned order.

Hi,
MTO -
The materials are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
MTS -
The materials are not assigned to specific sales orders.
You can manufacture material and keep in stock without any customer requirement.
Basically for MTS you need to use Strategy 10 and for MTO you need to use strategy 20 in material master.

Sankaran
