Why does fglrx need to be updated for every Xorg release?

Guess: Because of the libraries they're linking to? I may be imagining things but it seems the nvidia driver is less loosely tied to it and will work with any recentish version of X. I'm pretty sure I've upgraded X before without upgrading the nvidia driver and everything continued to work fine. If I'm not imagining things, why don't they do what nvidia is doing?

nVidia has to update their drivers to support recent X.Org just like AMD does. nVidia however includes support for the newest X.Org to their drivers as soon as it is reasonable to do so, whereas Catalysts are always lagging behind the upstream. When an updated X.Org hits Arch's extra, chances are that you already have a compatible nVidia driver, with AMD it's not until after several weeks or months after new X.Org release when they update the drivers.

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

Why does Bridge Need Illustrator to Save as PDF compatible file?

1. Why does Bridge need Illustrator files to be saved as PDF files? "PDF Compatible File" ticked in the save menu.
2. Why does saving with this info take so long, even on decent fast modern systems?
3. Why does Bridge not consistently render the Illustrator files in FULL RESOLUTIONS, seemingly shooting for half resolution much of the time, and simply stopping at that?
4. Why does "clicking" on the preview inside Bridge bring up the full resolution?
5. How do I shortcut this process so that every file is previewed in Full RESOLUTION, instantly?
What is the point of Bridge? What's its reason for existence?

Since someone is bound to say that this should be asked in the Bridge section... it already is. And has been referenced back over here.

HT201250 If time machine backups hourly. Why does it need to backup daily, weekly and monthly

If time machine backups hourly. Then why does it need to backup daily, seekly, and monthly?

It doesn't.
What it does is discard intermediate backups at the end of 24 hrs and keep just three spaced backups from the previous day.
At the end of the next day, that day's will be reduced to 3, and the previous 3 trimmed to one; the last backup of that day.
Daily backups are kept for a month, then trimmed to the last backup of the week.
The weekly backups are kept until the disc runs out of space and TM starts deleting the oldest ones.

Why does m4v need to be converted again

Hi. I converted a dvd movie I bought into the ipod format .m4v using another converting software program I have. I then imported it into the videos section of my itunes. It would not load into my ipod unless i convertd it again using the itunes conver for ipod option. Why does this need to be converted again for ipod if its already in a .m4v and is there any way i can fix this so when im originally converting my movie with my converting software I can eliminate this last step in itunes. It takes up to 5 hours to convert in itunes. thanks

I should also add that I am using a AVS video converter which has an IPod 5.5 converting option that makes my movies Highest available quality H.264, 30fps 640x480
There are more Ipod options availble but im using the Highest quality available one. Maybe I should be using one of these:
ipod 5x- NTFS Standard quality H.264 29.97fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- PAL standard quality H.264 24fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- low quality H264., 20fps, 320X240
ipod 5x - Best quality (MPEG4, 24fps, 320X240)
ipod 5x- economy quality (MPEG4, 20fps, 176X144)
ipod 5x- for tv output (MPEG4, 24fps, 512X384)

Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm?

Why does iphone has common volume control for ringer as well as Alarm? which is quite unusual. For Exp, In case i lower down my ringer for some reason instead of silent and forget to increase before i sleep, my morning alarm also remains at the same ringer level volume at which i can miss the alarm. Is it due to some specific reason or i have missed something to change in settings. Other phone like Samsung etc, they have separate volume control for ringer and to an extent, Nokia rings for Alarm even if the battery is completely discharged.

It very well may be covered, depending on what Apple finds.

Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time.

Why does EJB needs two interface???

Hi All,
This has been asked by many ppl and many of you might be having
the correct answer for it. Please tell me....
Why does EJB needs two interface (Home and Remote Interface)?. Why not one?
Thanx to all...
Regards
GoodieGuy

Hi Goodie ,
Its good question and its a very valid one , one has to have doubt
why two , why not one ..
Here the answer goes ..
First of all you need to understand that its a distributed computing technique ie I mean lot of people will be accessing the bean at the same time , right ? OK , you cann't access the bean directly.
and lastly the stateless and entity beans do instance pooling.
The very purpose of having two interfaces is
1) To differnentiate the bussiness logic and life cycle methods .
2) The home interface inititates life cycle methods like creation , destruction etc .
3) There are lot of beans in the container , and through home you are
creating the instance or accessing one of them .
4) Once you have home object using it we get the remote object ie the instance of the bean that you want to access if stateless any bean can be called , if statefull depending upon the parameter in create method that respective bean is created and invoked .
In ejb 1.0 and 1.1 even though the bean and the client are in same jvm its assumed that they are remote and in 2.0 Ver we have local this is to avoid network traffic .
Hope you have got the answer , but if u still need clarification
read EBRoman book first and second chapters thoroughly and then proceed
a head.
Bye

Are you getting a four language screen telling you to restart? That's a kernel panic. That can often happen due to RAM or data corruption issues. See my FAQ*:
