  • Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and
    arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    In arrayCollection = null; statement you're setting this
    reference to null and potentially making it available for garbage
    collection. I say 'this reference' and potentially because, as you
    may know, there might be other references to this array collection
    object that won't be affected by this statement and hence it won't
    be GC'ed.
    arrayCollection.removeAll() says that I want to empty this
    array collection for all the reference that we pointing to it. That
    is, remove all the objects from the collection -- and of course
    make them 'potentially' available for the GC -- the size of the
    array collection would be reduced down to zero and all the
    references would be pointing to a valid but empty collection.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Backup SQL Agent Jobs - whats the difference between "create to" and "drop to" using "script job as"?

    Hi,
    This should be straightforward, but being new to SQL Server 2008, can someone advise the difference between "create to" and "drop to" using "script job as"?
    Thanks
    IT Support/Everything

    hello,
    "CREATE TO" create a CREATE statement for the job, e.g. to execute this script on a other server to create the same job there.
    "DROP TO" means you get a script to delete an existing job.

  • Whats the difference between wifi sync and icloud?

    Good afternoon...am a little confused about syncing over wifi with itunes and wirelessly with icloud.  Right now the computer I sync my devices with is an older macbook that can't be updated to Lion.  I am confused though by wifi sync ability...does my macbook have to be up and running while my ios devices are powered to sync or will the devices sync anywhere to the icloud?   Since my macbook can't update to Lion will I still be able to take advantage of this icloud goodness?  My macbook is not my main computer but it has all of my itunes content and playlists.  Hope this made sense.

    My first question is this: Have your devices all been updated to iOS 5? Assuming they were running 4, then updated to 5, all your data should be on the device. From here, if you were to sync everything to the cloud, all your data will be in the cloud. It will take all the info from your devices and sync it to the cloud. However, make sure on each device you choose what you want to sync, because it will pretty much make everything the same accross all your devices. Obviously your classic isn't going to be included, so you will still need to sync that, but with the phone and the ipad, you will need to decide what you want to sync between the two. I don't own two separate devices, so I don't know exactly what the conduct between the two is, but be carefull when syncing them to the cloud.

  • HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

    I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
    I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
    I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
    Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
    I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
    I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
    Thank you all in advance

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • Whats the difference from "restricted passcode" and "enter passcode"?

    What's the difference between a restricted passcode and enter passcode

    You'll need to restore the phone.  Make a backup first (I suggest to iCloud), and then restore the device.

  • HT204074 whats the difference between managed devices and authorized computers

    What is the difference between the 10 managed devices and 5 authorized machines? What cant I do on the Unauthorized device that is a managed device?

    This is my understanding of it.
    Authorisation only applies to computers, not devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) - it allows you to play/use your iTunes downloads on that computer e.g. playing music, films etc., and to sync that content to a device. Up to 5 computers can be authorised at a time.
    Having a device associated (or managed) with your account, which can be up to 10 computers and devices (and as each associated computer must also be authorised to your account it means that at most 5 of the 10 can be computers) means that you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads and/or re-downloaded past purchases on them. Once a device or computer is associated to an account it will be tied to that account for 90 days. You can still sync content to a device without it being on the associated list.
    A managed computer must also be an authorised computer, so you can't have one that is unauthorised but associated.

  • Whats the differences between Master collection and single each?

    Why ADOBE Master Collection is much cheaper than each individual program altogether ?what's the difference?for exp,Master collection is sold $2599,and the photoshop cs5 extend $999,if it were sold seperately,we should afford a lot more money.so i doubt that is there any difference between them?

    Functionally there's no difference. The difference is in the licensing.
    The big UPside with the Master Collection is that you get a lot of software for one low upfront price compared to buying each software component individually.
    The big DOWNside is that when a new version of Adobe software is released, you must upgrade to a suite, even if you only want to upgrade one software component such as Photoshop.
    e.g.
    You can upgrade Master Collection CS4 to any CS5 Suite.
    You cannot upgrade an individual component (e.g. Photoshop CS4) in Master Collection CS4 to standalone Photoshop CS5.
    Looking at it a different way, buying Master Collection (or any Suite) means you forfeit some flexibility in future upgrade options (Suites are your only options) and you're placing yourself on an expensive path for future upgrades (Suites only).

  • Tints and CYMK - Whats the difference for screen display and print

    Hi,
    What is the 'technical' difference between a tint and CYMK? For example, if i create a box with a fill of C:0 Y:0 M:0 K:40 is this the same as a black fill with 40% tint?
    Knowing that all screens and printers give different results, is the difference even noticeable? What about 'best practice' / 'industry standard'?
    Workflow/context- I create artwork (documents with combinations of images, graphics and text) in either Ai or ID which all go to PDF and I present them either on screen or through print (regular printer - none of my printed artwork use printing plates).
    Thanks for your advice in advance.

    A tint is just a lighter version of your swatch, so yes, 0,0,0,40 CMYK is exactly the same as using the [Black] swatch and setting the tint field in the panel down to 40% or creating a tint swatch with a 40% value.
    Not all colors are CMYK. On screen you use RGB and most desktop printers expect RGB data as well. On press you might use spot color inks if you have only one color and tints of that color to add, or you need some color that can't be easily produced in CMYK in a full-color job. You probably shold not be using spot color in your work since you don't go to press and printer simulations of many spot colors are quite bad. You'll find the really saturated colors tend to be out of range for most printers, too, if you use RGB, but if you can accept that your printed output may not match the screen (and unless everything in the workflow is calibrated, including ALL the monitors you might be working with and all the printers you might use for output, output on remote devices probably won't match what you see on your own monitor and printer), I would design for the screen if that's the primary presentation and let those out-of-gamut colors geet clipped in print.
    Printing tints is a little trickier than you might think. Dot gain (how ink spreads as it is absorbed into paper) tends to make tints seem a little darker in print.

  • Whats the difference between producing output and returning a value?

    I've just started learning Java. I am having difficulty understanding what it means to "return a value".
    If a method has an argument, then whenever this method is called the variable named will be used for output.
    If you create a method to return a new value rather than display it, you would exchange the 'void' for 'double' e.g. public static double predictRaise(double moneyAmount). My book states that a return statement causes a value to be sent from a called method back to the calling method. Their example is not clear to me. Here is what they show for when only 'output' is produced:
    <code>
    Public static void predictRaiseUsingRate (double money, double rate)// 2 arguments
              double newAmount;
              newAmount = money * (1 + rate);
              System.out.println (?With raise, new salary is ? + newAmount);
    </code>
    And their example of a returned value:
    <code>
    public static double predictRaise(double moneyAmount)
              double newAmount;     
              newAmount = moneyAmount * 1.10;
              return newAmount;
    </code>
    Their explanation: "This return statement causes a value to be sent from a called method back to the calling method. The value stored in newAmount is      sent back to any method that calls predictRaise() method."
    For some reason this is just not sinking in. Does anyone have a better example/explanation? I could not find anything with a better explanation in archives.
    Are they tring to tell me: "if the original method declares an argument that is declared as 257 in the method call, that when that same method is called again, it will always be 257? But if you do a return statement, any changes in the return statement will now always be used in all methods calling that method?
    Thanks for your help.

    To use an older and possibly more easily understood terminology. Methods can either be "functions" almost in the mathematical sense or they can be "procedures" in the sense of a process.
    A function is a mapping between a "domain", its arguments, and a "range", its result. An example of a function in mathematics is cosine, which takes an argument in degrees or radians and returns a result between -1 and 1. In java functions are just methods that declare a result type. eg. public int foo(int arg).
    A procedure is a program that doesn't return any result, it's not something that fits well into mathematics, but it occurs all the time in real life. For example, walking the dog does not map something from a domain to a range, but it may have some side effects, which is why I always carry a plastic bag with me. Procedures in java are methods that are declared as "void". eg. public void foo(int arg).
    All the well known arithmetic operations are functions, they take one or two arguments in the domain of numbers and return a result in the same set. Eg, x = a + b, the operator + is a function that takes two numbers, calculates the arithmetic sum of them and returns a result. Functions are very handy since you can string them together, eg. z = a+foo(b)*max(c+d). This doesn't work with procedures.
    Procedures are often used for much longer and more involved operations, there is no immediate result, but a lot of things may occur while they run. Data may be printed on a screen or paper, a database or file may get updated and email messages might get send. But no other expession is waiting for a resulting value so it can carry on. Procedures may also happen asynchonously, ie. outside the timeframe of their caller, see threads. Functions cannot do this, or if they do, they turn into procedures by throwing away their result. For example, you can schedule a procedure to send an email to your friends every Friday inviting them to go out for drinks, but you don't wait around for the result.
    In a way functions are a bit like phone calls, you wait for a response, procedures are more like snail mail, you send it off and check on what happened later.
    I hope this helps.

  • Whats the difference between high-density and low-density ram?

    I bought what I thought was supposed to be a cheap 256 mb chip (pc100 or 133) but the g4 400 read only 128mb, The fellow in the store that sold it flipped out when I told him I had a Mac and said something about high density and low-density.Another guy in the store described it as being one sided and two sided.
    I don't know what my machine needs. I got my money back but he would'nt let me exchange the chip for another, me thinking it was simply mislabeled.

    The QuickSilvers use PC-133 SDRAM and are compatible with high-density memory chips (256 Megabit), so that 16-chip 512 MB and 8-chip 256 MB non-ECC DIMMs are supported. A low density, 16-chip (128 Megabit) 256 MB DIMM is also supported.
