When not to use loopback?
Hi guys,
It seems very simple question, but it made me go thinking and thinking and decided it would be worthwhile to share it here with you.
I am building a small network with one core switch doing all inter vlan routing and connecting to two edge routers (these routers are used for different purpose).
I am planning to use a management vlan having all the switches as part of it. And I was thinking of using loopback interfaces on the routers and use static routing so the core knows where they are located.
My question (which may seem stupid here ) was to ask whether having loopback here would be really worthwhile? or if there is a better way in regards to management of the network devices?
Thanks,
Mo
having a loop back really only makes sense if you have more than 1 path into the router. If you have a single network connection into the switch and that connection goes down, having a loop back wouldn't help much.
Hth,
John

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?
I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!
Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on. -
Am I supposed to leave the display plugged in when not in use?
should the display be left plugged in when not in use? is it just like leaving the power cord to the MacBoold Pro plugged in when the computer is off?
thanksSure, you can leave the display plugged into the socket, provided you turn OFF the display itself. There must be somewhere some switch or touch button that will turn the display OFF.
Usually, those displays use a lot of power, so it's better to save
I shall add an unrequested piece of advice: if you don't this already, please use some kind of electrical surge protector
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector> to connect your computer, display, printer, router, etc to the wall socket. -
IPhone resets itself when not in use
I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

Set 2520 printer to turnoff when not in use
How do you set the printer to sleep when not in use?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Page 65 of your User Guide has all the information.
The HP Photosmart Energy Save Mode reduces energy use by entering a sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.
The time to sleep mode can be extended to 10 or 15 minutes.
NOTE: This feature is on by default and cannot be turned off.
To set Energy Save Mode
1. Touch the Setup icon.
2. Touch Preferences.
3. Scroll through the options and touch Energy Save Mode.
4. Touch the desired time interval (5, 10 or 15 minutes).

When To and when NOT to use cursors
Can anyone please refer to a good resource about When to and When NOT to use cursors.
I have search on line but I haven't find anything really good.
Thank you.
HIf you can do it in a single SQL statement (one UPDATE or whatever), that will almost always be more efficient than a loop construct.
If you absolutely need a loop, bulk operations (BULK COLLECT, FORALL) will be more efficient than row-by-row processing for any significant number of rows.
If it is a relatively small number of rows, I would then weigh up the simplicity of a Cursor FOR loop (although Regarding the creation of simple cursors).
btw I loved that comedy Forms 3 article, but surely April 1st isn't until Saturday? -
IMac (Oct 2009) keeps shutting down and restarting when not being used.
At least once a day, usually when not being used, I will see a dialog box that say computer had to restart due to a problem. data in problem report does not clearly state problem - many multi-page entries
Have reinstalled OS 10.8.2 once
this morning tried to restart with safe boot and had spinning beach ball for more than 15 minutes. shut down and restarted nin recovery mode. verified and repaired permissions (all seem to be related to Canon Pronter plug-ins- had an error message yesteday asking if I wanted to repair printer software and I said yes). Printer seems to be working. Had one statement that indicated a screensaver issue-see below
a while back, iTunes album art screensaver hung up with just two album covers flipping in all rows and columns.
after a few restarts, it started working correctly again..- yesterday I set screen saver to never, but still had a crash this morningHere's the latest panic report. BTW, I ran for a while from an external system boot - very sloww (thumbdrive), but nothing happened. However, when I retarted I tried to restart in Safe Mode and the launch never completed (30 minutes without start)

My ext HDs spin too hard when not in use , how do I slow em up ?
some externals have the smarts about them but others just wizz too hard when not in use , old macs had a processor setting I could change , but not MBP
I should be able to tell these HDs to chill till I call on them right ? thanks for any help[ you can offer me .
cheers RYou don't. You have no control over the spin rate of any hard drive.
To encourage the external drive(s) to spin down when they aren't in use, System Prefs > Energy Saver > check the box for "Spin down hard disks when possible." But you'll find that the OS checks in on those drives quite frequently, spinning them back up again. So the likelihood of their spinning down very often or ever staying quiescent for long is small. -
i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Then plug it in and let it fully charge. -

Should I shut down my computer when not in use
should I shut down my computer when not in use, overnight for instance?
Hello! Leaving it on 24/7/365 is perfectly acceptable. You may save some electricity but personally I think you'll pay for it with a more troublesome system. I do however set the monitors to go to sleep. I like the no startup lag time of running 24/7/365. That said, if I lived in an area prone to electrical outages or if my location was prone to lightening strikes I'd probably shut it down and unplugged. Of course with it being unplugged the pram battery may run down. These old G4's have been running 24/7/365 for years now. I do try to restart every few weeks just for good measure! In the end it's your preference. The hardware works best when a constant temperature is maintained. Tom

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Should I keep it in sleep mode when not in use to shut down?
My experience with electronic tends to revolve around thermo stress, and removing all power vs going to sleep tends to be more or less the same. Many components have power totally taken away, and others use so little power they cool off.
However, I found thermo stress occurs a lot more with discrete electronic components (like back in the '80s and our VAX-11/780's which had lot more discrete components) and less with integrated circuits. NOTE: I'm not talking about overheating components, just normal heating/cooling cycles.
All in all I would not worry about it. The OP (Grace 1) should use whatever method is most convent for her. And I would say if she is using a Macbook Air or the new Macbook Pro Retna display (or any other Mac with a solid state drive (SSD)), then booting from shutdown may not take all that long anyway. -
Imac shuts down when not in use
I purchased my 21.5" imac July 9, 2011 with Snow Leopard. No problems for 1 month. Then about August 12th or so, my imac started to mysteriously "shut down" when not in use. I'll be working on it, then get up to go pour myself a cup of coffee or something...then I come back to my computer that has now shut off. It is NOT asleep...it is OFF. So I turn it back on and it is fine. This has happened a few times now within a week. Anyone else have this problem?
By the way, I am now running Lyon, as of August 18th. When the imac shut down, I was usually viewing photos or on the web.
thanks!First thing I would try is to reset the SMC, it can help with power related problems. Shut down the Mac and unplug everything including the power. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Plug in the computer but be careful not to press the power button as you are plugging it in. Wait a few seconds and turn it on. Hopefully it won't happen again. There is always Apple Support. Don't let the problem persist until your free phone tech support has expired (3 months). I would also recommend using the iMac with an UPS, and at the very least, a high quality surge protector.
If you have MS Word or a similar word processor you could try enabling the autosave feature and set it to 1 minute intervals. Keep a document open and if you come back to the computer and it has shut down, you can look at the last time the document was updated and know what time the comptuer turned itself off. It could be useful in diagnosing the problem.
