Which mac to keep and which to sell?

I Inherited a 27" imac 2.66ghz i5 but I have a mac mini 2.33 ghz i7. Which one should I keep? I don't really used much software that taxes my computer. The most taxing thing I do with it is play MMOs.
Thanks for any advice.
Dean

We would have absolutely no idea. Why not keep both for awhile and see which one gets the most use and then part with the other.

How do it know which backup files to keep and which to delete?

How do you know which backup files to keep and which to delete?

If you still have all devices, just delete all. They will re backup.

How do you determine which apps are paid and which are free

I am trying to perform some cleaning of my iPhone and want to delete some apps. I know which ones to delete, and which ones to save, but never want to delete an app that I have paid for.
How can I tell, either on the phone itself, or within iTunes, which apps were paid for, and which were free? They all show a purchased date in "get info" within iTunes, even apps that were free. I know some apps that I certainly paid .99 for, and some that I have paid much more than that. I would never want to delete those. How can I tell the difference?

Ok, keep in mind, this is iTunes app store, not Desktop App Store, just so we are on the same page. I have a purchase history that looks like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/this-f0-154400.png
If I go to the app Store, locate the exact app in question, this is what I get:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.45.23.PM-57-154549 .png
Compare that to an app I did made a purchase to, Geocacging, and it is different. As you can see, it tells me that I can download it again, for free, and this is in no way a free app, quite expensive compared to most 99 cent apps:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.46.56.PM-c4-154716 .png
I am logged into lCloud as far as I know. Here is a screen shot from system prefs:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/340087/drops/01.02.12/ss-2012.01.02-3.49.06.PM-7d-154932 .png
It says "sign out" which tells me I am logged in.
I don't have an app within the apps section of itunes of the apps section of my phone when connectted by wireless of by usb cable.
So unles I am completely mising your instructions, I believe this to be on Apple's end, and they are not recognixing that I have already downloaded this app and paid for it. I am about to just download and pay for it again, it is only 3.99, so not a big deal, however, if this was a 100.00 GPA app or smilar, I would be a little upset.
Thanks for all your help.

How can we differ which is a fact and which is a dimension?

Hi All,
I'm a new bee to OBIEE...
If any one can help me out or provide me a link...
if we have multiple facts and dimensions? How can we differ which is a fact and which is a dimension?
Thnkx in Advance.

Hi ,
You can identify the facts and Dimension based on the data.
You have to analyze.
Generaly the Table with measure column (Max column in the table) we will consider as Fact.
Table with attribute as Dimensions.
For the Facts we can apply the aggregate rules.
Thanks,
Ananth

Which mac to purchase and install the upgrade?

I synch my Touch with 2 separate macs. One for calendar and address book and one for photos and videos.
Does it matter which mac the 2.0 is purchased and installed on?
Thanks.

It should take about 30 minutes, give or take. But, if you sync your iPod before installing 2.0, then iTunes will automatically backup your iPod (as long as "disable automatic backup" isn't checked in Preferences). So I think all your iCal and address book stuff will still sync back to your iTunes if you sync it on the computer with your music on it

I just put 8 gb of memory into my new mini, but the computer is only reading 4gb. It tells me that bank 0 has 4 gb and that bank 1 is empty. Which slot is "o" and which slot is "1" ? I re-wiggled the new memory sticks, but it still only reads one of them.

I just added two new memory sticks to my new mac mini, each stick has 4 gb. The computer tells me that it now (with the new memory) only has 4 gb total, however. It says that bank "O" had 4 gb and bank "1" is empty. My two questions are... Which slot is bank o and which slot is bank 1? The computer didn't beep or anything, so I think its just that it doesn't recognize one card. I wiggled them again, in case maybe I didn't put them in tight or something, to no effect. Any suggestions on what I may not have done right???

Same issue here. All chips, old and new working in bottom slot 0 but nothing working in slot 1 (top.)
It also seems to be important to make the insertion at the right angle that was actually steeper than I thought at first. I also got a nice click when it slipped into place. You can also look at the position of the center slot/protrusion on the bottom chip to get an idea of how far the stick needs to be in.
Another thread pointed out that you have to make sure that the retaining clips don't engage before you get it into place as they prevent further movement.

Which buzzwords have longevity and which ones have lost their buzz?

Don't even get me started again!!!!! :0)

Once upon a time, "the cloud" was just a buzzword, used as frequently as it was misunderstood. Now, it's a business reality that's here to stay.
What about "big data" or "the Internet of Things?"
Which buzzwords or phrases are you tired of hearing and which words did you think were just passing fads at one point?

When showing JPG and RAW files as one, which do we see and which is edited?

Hi Guys,
Hoping someone out there will have the answer to this.
Just come back from a long trip with thousands of pics in RAW, I like to use Canon DPP to generate the JPGs quickly and to give me Canons interpretation on the RAW image. (Apparently same processing as in camera).
Once imported into Lightroom 3, I have set up to view the JPG and RAW files as one.
There are two questions:
1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
2.) Which is edited?
I do not really want to fully develop all the pics in Lightroom as some of the standard shots have come out perfectly and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
Raw only. The jpeg is sort of like sidecar. Cannot set a preference. The only setting you can change is to view them separately.
2.) Which is edited?
Raw only.
... and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
Lightroom's Canon-specific DNG profiles are developed to match Canon's picture styles (or whatever they are called). So, if you use, say, the Faithful Picture style in Camera, Lightroom's "Camera Faithful" profile will render your raws very close to DPP, if not identical. That's for default settings. However when you start adjusting, Lightroom's and DPP's processing may differ.
You may not even need those Jpegs for comparison, after all.

Overview, which Jobs are scheduled and which haven't finished successfully

We are using GridControl jobs to administrate several databases (e.g. execute exports, analyze schemas, etc.). All of these jobs are scheduled...
The "Home" tab of the GridControl GUI has the information "All target jobs" with "Problem executions" and "Suspended executions" - but what we would
like to have is a view, which contains the job-names and their status.
I've looked through the data-dictionary of the GridControl repository and found several tables and views which contain all kind of informations about the
jobs.
Does anybody already know, how to setup a view with the needed informations?
We can't use the tab "Job activity" since the result of the view should be mailed to the developers...
Any help will be appreciated...
Rgds
JH

we are rather new to GridControl and not very experienced with the reports. I thought that just the already defined report-categories could be used.
I went through the reports but couldn't find any report which is related to jobs.
But thansks for your suggestion - we will try to create a report...

PSE 9 Updates - How do I find out which ones I have and which ones I need to download?

I'm accustomed to being notified of updates automatically, which means I forget to check for the ones that don't send notifications (PSE 9). I looked through the list of updates, but don't know where to start because I don't know which ones have already been installed. They appear to be separate patches so I'm assuming (incorrectly perhaps) that downloading the most recent one won't include the previous patches. I'm not a technically savvy person so I don't like to jump into these things without some idea of where I am or should be going. I have a "Murphy's Law" problem - anything that can go wrong usually does in my experience.

If you download the most recent ones, it doesn't matter if you've missed any previous ones.

Can you specify which pages to publish and which not?

Hi all, perhaps I'm overlooking it, but I'm making changes to my site. Currently some pages have been fully updated and others not. What I'd like to do is load the current pages that are finished, have them updated on my site, but the pages that are still being edited I'd like to have not uploaded. Is there a way to direct iweb to publish certain pages but not others? I'm hoping so b/c if not, it would seem as though it's written "all or nothing." That is, you finish every single edit you want before publishing. That would seem like an oversight as editing a site can clearly be an ongoing thing. I have pages I'd like to add, but they aren't ready for publishing, so I'd like to have them not publish. Anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks.

If you are using the page template navigation menu, then simply hide the navigation links to the pages that are not finished. There is nothing you can do to stop iWeb publishing the pages, but if you hide them until they are ready, then they will be published, but not viewable without the links.
The other thing that you can do is select Publish to MobileMe rather than Publish All to MobileMe. If you select Publish All, then your whole site will be published, however, if you select Publish, only the pages of your site that have been changed will be published.
Hiding pages of a text based nav bar should also work. To do this, open the Inspector and go to Page and there are two settings that have hide nav menu and do not include in nav menu. You want the second one if you don't want to include the page.

I uploaded Firefox 5.0 last night and it apparently cannot accommodate my McAfee SiteAdvisor software, which I paid for and which I want back even if it means unloading the 5.0 version of Firefox. Help.

Below is the only URL I can find. The McAfee SiteAdvisor I have/had is Version 3.3.131. As I said above, I want it back, without having to pay for it again. I would never have upgraded my Firefox if I'd known it would knock out the McAfee SiteAdvisor. Can I just revert to my former Firefox version? I was perfectly happy with it.

The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July.

Can I change which display is primary and which is secondary on my Macbook?

I'm using an external monitor with my Macbook, and I can easily change the arrangement of the displays. However, I would like the dock and menu bar to be on my bigger external display, but I haven't found a way to do that yet. Is it possible to make my external display the primary one and my Macbook the secondary one? Thanks...

System Preferences / Displays / Arrangment.
The display that has the white stripe at the top is the "primary" one, in the sense that the desktop will be on that display.
You move the stripe - it's really the Menu bar - by dragging it.

Which specs for FCP and which camcorder?

Hi guys,
will be using the macbook for editing gigs/events/music video's etc. what specs would be best?
and any thoughts on a camcorder? currently got my eye on sony hxr mc50e but wanting to know if you think any others are better?
defo needs to be HD, portable, SD preferred over MiniDV, Needs to have good low light recording and good audio. Max budget is about £1300
hope u can help
many thanks

If, despite all advice to the contrary, you still go for the MacBook Pro then I'd recommend the base 17” MacBook Pro (MBP) configuration, with 160GB 5400 RPM hard disc option, and an additional 1 GB RAM (to make 3 GB total).
Why the 17” model?
Because when editing you need as much screen space as possible. Yes, it is bigger and heavier than the 15”, but I think that it’s larger and higher resolution display is worth that sacrifice.
Why the bigger but slower 160GB 5400 RPM hard disc option?
Laptop drives already have a much smaller capacity than their desktop cousins and those little drives, inevitably, fill up quickly with all your stuff!
And of course, you're planning to get an external media drive too, right? If you don’t have one then your internal disc will be eaten up by clip media in no time (especially if you opted for the smaller faster internal disc).
Why 3 GB RAM?
Well OK, thats an expensive option, but seriously, if you can afford it the money is well spent.
I'd also strongly recommend the extended AppleCare Protection Plan.

Two WRT610N Routers Which One to Keep, Which One to Return?

For Christmas I received two WRT610N routers as gifts. While the model number is the same they appear to be different versions, or at least in different packaging.
The first one is in an all blue box and is called N Ultra Range Plus Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router. UPC# 45883 58520.
The second one is in a blue box with a red banner on the front and a red side panel. On that box the router is called a Simultanteous Dual Band Wireles-N Gigabit Router. The UPC# is also 4583 58520.
Since I want to return one of them, I have not yet opened either box, so here are my questions:
Are these the exact same products?
Is one V1 and the other V2? How can you tell V1 from V2?
Is V2 better than V1 or is it just a firmware update to the same hardware?
If they are not the same product, which one should I keep and which one should I return?
Thanks for your help!

I agree with richard - I didn't mention this in my last post
Unless you are in dire need of some other piece of equipment and can exchange the 2nd router for it - I would keep them both -- especially since Santa brought them and you have no actual cost ($$) in them
I maintain two different home networks and help 2 different business keep their small networks running -- I have a spare/extra router for 'each' of my home networks - and the two business' always has a spare router on hand - in case of an emergency
I'm not sure about your chipset question -- but I beieve you may be able to tell the version # by the S/N - google around to check on the S/N--Version question --- or ask Liknsys Chat -- it's faster than a phone call - http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/chat
