When to take the OCA certification

Hi! I am barely 6 months within the job in the Database Administration field (fresh graduate) and I believe I'm still learning the ropes, I would like to ask when is the best time to take an OCA certification and what are the preparations you suggest I can do.
Oracle Newbie here :)

...and I believe I'm still learning the ropes, I know you still are. I've been working with Oracle for 17 years and I haven't stopped learning yet.
I would like to ask when is the best time to take an OCA certificationThe best time to study for an Oracle certification is today, tomorrow, and whenever you have the time so long as you are working in the field. The best time to not be studying for a certification is when there is something that you need to learn that doesn't yet have an associated certification. Study until you learn that... then go back to studying for a certification.
In the IT field, if you are not learning, then you are becoming obsolete.
...and what are the preparations you suggest I can do.Read the manuals. Read white papers. Check out the Oracle Learning Library. Links to a number of certification-specific study materials are available on oraclecertificationprep.com. You have also commented in the 1Z0-051 thread this evening. The available links for that exam are available at:

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Yes. I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website. I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end. Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple. Typical he-said, she-said...
Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Error when we take the Desc column in the report when we join two facts

Hi All,
We are facing a issue when we join 2 facts via common dimension.
1) When we take the measures like revenue cost etc from both the facts after they getting aggregated on RPD as sum the report runs fine..
But once we add a desc column like Name, address from any of the facts which cant be aggregated it gives a error.
Can any one please share their knoledge over this & the fix..
Thanks,
Pankaj

Hi All,
I am very near to solve this issue. I tried doing the same.. but seems i am missing something please help me figure it out. I appreciate all your help...
-FACT1 Columns:
1) Amount
2) Transaction scr desc
-FACT2 Columns:
1) Accounted DR
2) Transaction scr desc
Note: 1) These Facts are joining over dimensions currency, period etc, whose IDs i havent mentioned in the list above. also i have created reqd dimension & set proper content level too.
2) The measure Amount & Accounted DR from both facts are aggregated as SUM.
Now when i take a report having F1.Amount, F2.Accounted DR, F1.Transaction scr desc, F2.Transaction scr desc
the query fails as I have a non aggregated columns like Transaction scr dec from both the facts.
I tried the above approach mention by you ppl, and made a 2 new logical table, one having scr from one fact from physical & the onther from other fact from physical & made these 2 new tables are dimensions to the earlier also respectively i have created the dimesnions for both 7 set the content level to detail.
I made a new report:
F1.Amount, F2.Accounted DR, F1_NEW.Transaction scr desc, F2_NEW.Transaction scr desc
Unfortunately i m facing this error: [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: tmpt.TRANSACTION_SOURCE. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings.
Thanks,

Send e-mail when someone takes the quiz

I have my quiz set up so results are posted into my internal server so I can use quiz analyzer to access the results. Is there a way I can receive an email when someone takes the quiz so I don't have to check the quiz analyzer to see who took the test ?

Captivate does allow you to trigger an email via Advanced Actions. However, this at best will only open a new email in the user's email client with some default Subject text and your email address. You're still reliant on the user manually sending this email. This makes it inherently unreliable.
To achieve an automated email, you would need to have access to web programming skills to create a server-side page that sent an email when called. The Captivate course participant would then have no awareness of the email.

I have a problem with the external sound of my ipod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

- Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
- Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
- Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked. I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button. I need the actions script code to make this happen.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time. I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen. I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code. It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
Thank you in advance

It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description. If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work. Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

The sound on my iPhone 4S isn't working. When headphones are plugged in you can listen to music an watch videos but when you take the headphones out the option to adjust volume goes away and you can't hear music or videos. Any idea how to fix this?

Today I tried listening to music on my iPhone 4S, only to find that my volume adjuster had disappeared. And just to clarify, when I say that it disappeared, I mean that when I press the volume buttons on my phone, I see the speaker icon but the gauge bar is gone. I can't hear music or watch videos

MBR2011 I take pictures using photo booth. I have a problem i am married and when i take the pictures my wedding ring appears to be on my right hand, and it should be on my left. I also held items in my my right hand and they appear to be in my left hand

If i have something on the left side of my shirt it appears to be on my right. I am married and my wedding ring appears to be on my right , and it should be on my left finger. Please help?

Option A: Open the images in an image editing program that offers a "flip horizontal" command, and use it.
Option B: Put your ring on your right hand when you want to take a picture of yourself using Photo Booth. :-)

IMovie: When i put in music for the background of my clips, my clips go quieter, but then when i take the music out it goes loud. I tried to edit the music to try and make it go quiet like background music would, but it isn't working?

In iMovie on my new MacBook Pro. I'm editing a video of mine (As i make videos for YouTube), i put in the clips, then i put in background music. But when the music is there, the clips go really quiet. I'm trying to change that but it isn't working, i've edited the clips to make any other sound go quiet on the audio bar, but that hasn't worked either. I've tried to edit the music to go quiet on the audio bar, but that didn't work. Nothing is working!! It's like the music is taking over! You can barely hear the sound of the clips talking. Then after the background music has finished, if there is any clips left over, the clips go really loud!
It's geting me really annoyed, i've tried everything.
Can anybody help? Even suggestions would work!

I'd be posting in the iMovie forum for iMovie help.

I use a third-party charger (Sharper Image) for my iPhone 4S. Before today, it worked fine, but it hasn't been working lately. I've gotten lucky sometimes when the phone would charge, but when I take the charger out and stick it back in, it won't charge.

Any tips on how to fix this? I don't think my phone is the problem; it's something in the charger. I just don't know what?

Yup - that would work as a test. What you want to do is to isolate the problem, so if you can test that cable with a different device, that would be the ticket.
Just an aside....I have found that even my authorized Apple USB cable that I use normally for my iPad, is not always being recognized by my iPhone since I downloaded iOS 7. If I remove it and reconnect it, after one or two tries, it does recognize it. I know the cable is fine, because as soon as I get done with the phone, I plug it into my iPad (running iOS 5 - it's an iPad 1....) and it, without fail, connects.
So, I think with iOS 7, the connection logic is a bit more sensitive and sometimes is just not making the connection when it should. I am certain that it is iOS7 because the issue very clearly started occurring after I upgraded. It's a bit annoying, but eventually it always works, so just a bit of a nuisance. Just wanted to share that with you in case a couple or three tries might get it to connect.... (this also is happening with my Bose speaker that I dock my iPhone on to play music during the day. Again, I am certain it started happening after iOS 7, so the two seem to be connected to me....)
Cheers,
GB
