Where should one learn about...

Hey
Now that I've got my machine up and running, I've a bit of a learning curve to tackle. I'd like to know what/where to read about clock speeds, multipliers, and whatever else I need to ensure my system is running at maximum. For instance, MSI's InfoView says that my CPU is a Duron, "External Clock" is 100MHz and "Current Speed" is 1100MHz. Not an Athlon (as listed in my signature). MSI WMInfo says it is an Athlon, and the Max (and Current) ClockSpeed is 1094 MHz.
I hate being spoon fed. I want to learn on my own but I don't know where to start. I'm not really interested in overclocking, at least not yet considering my limited knowledge.
So where should I learn?
Continued thanks
Paul

Hi PaulB,
Don't worry what the Athlon/Duron thing I've an Athlon XP1800 and MSI info says the same thing!
Your processor is running at the incorrect speed at the moment. Firstly, switch of all power and check your motherboard's FSB jumper is set to to the correct FSB for your CPU, (if your CPU's FSB is 333MHz then it should be set to 166MHz (Jumper J11)) see page 53 in the (downloaded PDF) manual. (re-edited to avoid confusion).
Then you'll have to make sure these settings are also reflected in your BIOS - Enter your BIOS and select "Advanced Chipset Features" then adjust the "CPU FSB clock" to 166MHZ (try 133MHz first and and boot to see what effect it has). This is described on page 67 of the (downloaded PDF) manual.
If you are unable to boot after changing the BIOS settings then Don't Panic - you'll have to reset your CMOS (returns all BIOS settings to original values). UNPLUG your machine and change the the JBAT1 jumper to the "Clear Data" position then move it back to it's "Keep Data" position (before swithing on again) - If you do have to do this, you must remember that all your previous BIOS settings will have to be reset manually. See page 52 of the (downloaded PDF) manual.
Any other questions you might have - post them here - make sure you do a search within the forum just to make sure a similar query has not already been addressed.
Good luck and don't forget to let us know how you get on!
Axel :D

Network storage drive...where can I learn about these?

I have so many questions, and frankly, the answers I've seen looking (briefly, admittedly) around these threads scare me. Gee, Wally, what ever happened to Apple as the computer you didn't have to know computer programming to use?
Now, before you all get your panties in a bunch telling me that I'm responsible for knowing how to use my hardware, I know...and I do want to know.
So what I want to know now is how can I learn about the various types of "shares", and what they mean for hooking up a network drive for backup, etc.
I have a WD 1TB drive which I believe uses "SMB", whatever that is. It's got two folders on it currently, "Public" which I can access, and "WD Backup", which I can't. I also can't seem to use it as a Time Machine drive, which is what I want to do with it. And, or course, I can't re-format it, which I'd love to do as my wife hates the folder designations on it, and would like to have one folder called "iMac Backup" on it.
Answers which don't involve Terminal will get extra points, but I've dealt with Terminal before, so take your best shot. And ask for clarification if you need it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, networking and file-sharing aren't quite so simple in part because there's decades of history and dozens of companies involved in getting it into the current state. If you want dead-simple, you can get an Apple Time Capsule or AirPort with an external drive and be done with it. However, if you really want the most from network storage, you'll probably want to read up...
WD make a number of drive, some network-attached, some not. We'll assume that you have one of their basic consumer network-attached drives.
"SMB" stands for "Server Message Block" protocol and it was the local area network file-sharing protocol developed for Windows for Workgroups circa 1992 (it was later renamed CIFS - Common Internet File System - by Microsoft in 1996 because of the rising popularity of the Internet, despite the difficulty in getting it to work in anything but a small local network). SMB/CIFS is still widely used today for Microsoft Windows networks, though much of the equipment that serves those files are built on Linux or FreeBSD and not Windows.
Access to shares on an SMB server (such as your hard disk) is controlled through a configuration utility provided with the drive or via a web application built into the device (that you access through your browser). Consult your manual. Generally speaking, however, SMB servers offer different ways of identifying whether or not you can access a share: 1) based on the computer connecting (in which case, everyone is considered the same user), or 2) based on a username/password combo. Generally a server will only operate in one mode. Shared directories can also allow or deny "guest" access (access without a password). All of this should be configurable through the drive utility or web application which you access with your web browser. Generally, an SMB server can only operate in one mode.
It sounds like the Public directory is configured to allow guest access, and I'm guessing that "WD Backup" is a share that's password-protected and intended to be used with Western-Digital's own software of the same name. You should be able to add and create new directories as necessary through the provided utility or the web interface.
You are correct, you cannot use Time Machine with an SMB file-sharing service. Time Machine will require AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) or NFS (Network File System) support. Western-Digital only has 3 network drives that support AFP and Time Machine: My Book Live, MyBook World, and WD ShareSpace. OS X also has some basic requirements about the performance and capabilities of network storage in order to use it with Time Machine, so you really want to look for drives that state up front that you can use Time Machine with them (for example, WD World Edition: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf )
I'm not sure why you can't reformat the drive. This is supported on all WD products (though, if you've moved a bunch of data to it already, perhaps it would be a hassle).
You can do backups of your Mac over SMB, but it's complicated by the fact that SMB is quite old and isn't capable of storing information about the file permissions, ownership, etc. It will be reliable for data files, but not for applications, etc. There's a work-around, of course. You can create a disk image on the SMB share using Disk Utility (make sure you create an HFS+ image) and backup to that. If you go that route, I would suggest either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to perform your backups. They are true backup tools, not versioning tools like Time Machine.

Where can I learn about the 'Base Warranty of Depot Service"

There is a default warranty of one year with new T61 called 'Depot Service' Where can I learn more about it, what it covers and how does it work ?

auzbee,
You can start by taking a look at the "Service and Troubleshooting Guide-ThinkPad T61" and "ThinkPad Safety and Warranty Guide" booklets that come with the machine.

Where can i learn about Boot Camp

to all
i would like to learn about boot camp and the risks of puttiong windows on my mac. some things i just need on windows.
where can i read about it before i start to post dumb questions about virus software and the risk of virus, as i'm sure its been addressed somewhere..

thanks for the reply The Hatter... but its not a case of not leaving my comfort zone, but getting the full facts first for what i want to do. I;m quite good at leaving my comfort zone thank you..
currently trying to build a server at home with little experience
teaching myself HTML and Javascript and writing 5 websites on the fly
among many other things.. i just need to find out more about what i am doing before i do it so i understand what i am doing, and whether its the best use of my time.
my laptop most certainly doesn't sit on a shelf. its been around the world, to far flung corners of jungles, remote islands in Thailand and never leaves my side. Its on al day working and on all night processing. infact it almost drowned with me when i was caught in a violent storm going between islands in Thailand. Naturally i put the laptop somewhere safe before saving myself from going overboard.

Where should one install Oracle Database and the Grid Infrastructure in order to adhere to OFA?

I've downloaded the two zipped install folders for Oracle Database, and the two zipped install folders for the Grid Infrastructure. The book I'm following for installation says to use one directory for the database, and one directory for the Grid Infrastructure, but it doesn't explain where they should be located in OFA. Presumably they should both end up somewhere in the same Oracle Base (since everything Oracle related on a single file system should go in the same base, according to my understanding), but it isn't clear where they should be installed in relation to each other. For example, is the Grid Infrastructure a separate product that gets its own Oracle Home? Can anyone shed light on this process?
Also, does it matter to which location the zipped files are unzipped? For example, are any of these files used after the installation process, or does OFA only care about post-installation location?

I think this links may be helpful -- ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Oracle Linux 5.8 Using VirtualBox, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/hunter-rac11gr2-iscsi-088677.html.
OFA -- Optimal Flexible Architecture standard. The standard is a set of configuration guidelines created to ensure well organized Oracle installations that are easier to maintain (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/app_ofa.htm#LADBI440).
It relates to location of the grid and dbms files location. Actually you should specify base directory and follow installer. System will be installed in correct directories.
It does not matter where you will unzip your distributives. You may delete them after installation to free space.

Where can I learn about RAC with APEX .... or APEX architecture?

Hi All,
We are desiring to use RAC w/10g and run several APEX applications.
RAC runs different instances of the same Database so I need to know if there would be a problem with the session information.
Thank you, BillC

Bill,
I believe that the reason you don't see much on this topic is because it is very architecturally simple. For me, at least, this is a good thing. You can contact me here:
http://concept2completion.net/c2/f?p=9876:20
if you want some details, but I think what you are looking for can be summed up fairly simply.
First, let's assume now Webcache because I think Webcache is very unusual for an Apex application.
You don't need to cluster any of the mid-tier components. Just put a load balancer in front of your App Servers. You will get a slight improvement if you have the load balancer perform a sticky session (that is, it will route the same user to the same App Server for subsequent requests). The reason for this is that if the user is routed to the same App Server it is likely to get the same database session it had previously, and will likely be on the same RAC node.
Configure your Apex DADs (typically one per App Server) to utilize as many RAC nodes as you like. Generally this would be all of your RAC nodes, but that is not necessary. Your DBA will probably know how to do this for the effect you want (balancing, failover, etc.).
So, what happens through a request. This is dependent a little on if you let the Apex engine handle session mgt. Generally you do, so we will assume that Apex is setting a cookie and handling the checks. My order might be slightly off... The "Apex Engine" refers to activities that Apex does inside the database.
1. The user requests a page.
2. The App Server passes the request along with any cookie information, header info, etc. to mod_plsql, which has a session pool connected to the database instance(s).
2a. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe that if the user has already used a session from that session pool, mod_plsql will try to reuse that same session which is already connected to a database instance. I think this will cause the user to be connected to the same instance that he was in previously (if this is not the first call).
3. The Apex engine (inside the database) checks for the existence of a cookie and a session id that match a record in the session table.
3a. If no match is found it will create a record and set the cookie and session id in your browser.
4. The Apex engine sets up environment variables (nls_lang, apex_user, etc.) and accesses any user session info (in a session info table)
5a. If a submit, the Apex engine processes the page and, via the App Server, returns a page moved response indicating what page for the browser to branch to (see 5b)
5b. If a get, the Apex engine creates a page within the db and passes the generated html back through the App Server to the browser.
As you can see, the App Server does not do much. It is just a conduit between the browser and the database.
If you want to add Webcache to the mix, you have to tell Webcache to cache the pages generated by Apex. Webcache will generally cache based upon a url, and generally does not cache posts (page submits) but only gets (links). As your links will have a session ID in them (and you will have a unique cookie value), Webcache will only provide a cached response to the user if the user has already visited that page within that session (with precisely the same URL). This can be great, if you have a page that does not change much, but it can be a nightmare if either the data in the database changes (and you want the change reflected) on the page, or if you have some other process that should cause the page to change (e.g. if you set some search criteria in a process, not in the url and the report where clause should change). In either case, if Webcache responds, it never calls the db to regenerate the page, you just get the exact data on the page. The way around this is to have the database issue an invalidation to Webcache whenever either of these cases occur. As you can see, this can be a lot of work. It's a lot to just type up the description of it! The only cases where it makes a lot of sense is when you have a lot of content that does not change on a few pages or really big content (e.g. documents, images) that you will download more than once in a session.
I hope this helps. Drop me a note if you want more details.

HTML5, CSS3, Java Script- which should one learn first?

Super beginner here. Been awhile since worked in Dreamweaver so like starting over from the beginning. Which of the three is the base one needs to start with in learning- Java, HTML or CSS3. Know each is specialized in various areas but as a starting point which should be the first to learn? Thank you....

What Murray said.
Definitely HTML first.
Everything else in a webpage (CSS, JS, PHP etc) relies on HTML for structure and 'hooks' so that the page works properly.
You'll probably find yourself learning HTML and CSS in parallel since they're so closely intertwined on modern websites.

Where can I learn about Laptop hardware/ram/etc information?

First off: I had no idea how to phrase the above question. Sorry if I categorized it wrong...
Here's my predicament:
I was thinking of downloading/purchasing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium... However, I read the tech specs for it and was immediately frightened! I have literally no comprehension whatsoever of Laptop hardware/processor/ram related things. Does anyone know a good website that can explain those things (EVERYTHING) to me? I don't want to buy/download something that won't work on my laptop!
Sorry if that was really confusing. I can explain more details if anyone needs.
Here's the website that I was looking at in case anyone wants to check it out... (to walk me by each term and what not JK)
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/tech-specs.edu.html
Please help!

If you want to access to the hardware you have on your Mac, you have "System Information" or "System Profiler" app on your computer. This application is stored on /Applications/Utilities, and you can access here to see a complete report of all the hardware and all your apps.
Just open that app and compare your hardware with the requirements of that application. Note that a 64-bit processor is a Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Xeon, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor.
As you have posted this on the MacBook Pro forum, you must note that you need a 15 or a 17-inch MacBook Pro to run that application. If you have a 13-inch one, you can't run it because your MacBook Pro doesn't meet the graphic card requirement of that application

Where can I learn about this?

In my iTunes preferences I see these options for importing music. Does anyone know of a document that I can read that explains the pros and cons of each type?
Thanks!
mp3
aiff
aac
apple lossless
wav

You can find general information (lo- and high-tech) about these formats on Wikipedia:
AIFF, WAV, Apple Lossless, AAC, MP3.
In short:
AIFF and WAV are uncompressed formats, which have all audio information.
Apple Lossless is a compressed format which also (as the name implies) has all audio information. File size is slightly more than half of the uncompressed formats.
MP3 and AAC are compressed lossy formats, which throw away parts of the original audio. AAC is considered to have a better algorithm (calculation method) than MP3.
File sizes of popular bit rates (128 - 192 kbps) are about 10 - 15 % of the uncompressed formats. The higher the bit rate, the higher the audio quality (and larger file sizes).
Hope this helps.

Where Can I Learn About Connecting an External Drive to My Airport Extreme?

I'm having trouble find information on this. I want to know the pros and cons of connecting my LaCie drive to the FireWire port of my base station so that different computers in the house have direct access to it. I'd like to know whether there will be a big change in the data transfer rate, any security issues, and whether permissions will be assigned automatically by the computer creating new folders on the drive. Also, I'd like to know whether Time Machine works well this way.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

You're right about the USB. Must have been imagining things. Darn those meds. Thanks for the speed comparison too; I think I'll experiment a bit. Shame about Time Machine though. I thought I had read a post elsewhere on the discussion board saying that Time Machine recognized an external drive connected to a router. It may not have been an AEBS, and perhaps recognizing it doesn't mean Time Machine will back up to it.
Thanks again for your reply.

How does one learn about the new features or pending features

I'll be honest I have know about Acrobat,com for some time but have recently found a few business opportunities. Throughout the fourms I see notations about future releases. Some great opportunities if some of the features were a bit more enriched.
Is there a means of finding out what features are planned and possible target releases ? I am curious from both the Acrobat.com sharing perspective as well as the CS Review functions.
Thanks in advance

Where should one ask for help with a thread ???

Having posted a link to this thread because the op needed someone to check a site in Panther.... and because not so long ago I read here that this was the place to ask for such help.....
I now find the my request has been removed... musta offended the tou of course.
Sooo - how should a person try to get help with a thread in future? - we ain't all l4's and have a lounge to play in.

Interesting question. This forum was available for this type of request at certain points in Discussions' history, and it has often been recommended that users post issues like yours here.
Technically, as per the red print at the top of this forum, it is inappropriate to use this forum for that purpose. In the case you cite, I'd recommend putting a new topic in to the Safari forum with a specific request for the help that is required in the Subject line. If you do it that way, you will most likely reach more users who will be able to help you.
Good luck.
