Will the iMac recognise more than 2 mics?

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about updating my mixer (which my Mac only recognises 2 mics with) for something else, like the Firewire etc.
Does anyone have any recomendations for a good, affordable mixer/interface that I could use 3 or 4 mics with (at the same time)?
Hope everyone's well,
Tony xxx

Ta Hang, that is a piece of kit!
If anyone is interested, while looking for the same solutions, i found a 4 channel pocket sized version!

also 8 track usb mixer
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/5407
($200)
or 8 track firewire mixer
http://www.jbsmusic.co.uk/view/1051/
($300)
(plus read on....)
But I have anoher question....
As the iMac has a stero mic, and 3 usb sockets....
....Can you buy 3 usb mics, a stereo splitter and simultaneously record five audio channels?
That would give me just enough for bass, guitar, vox and 2 drums.....
or if i had a firewire 4 channel mixer, could that give me nine?
How many audio tracks CAN Garageband record at the same time?

my imac (intel core i5, OS 10.10.1) shuts down every night and will not "wake up" next morning -- it never used to do that -- if I hold down the start button more than twice for many seconds, then it will finally boot up and works fine all day – I’ve tried shutting it down and unplugging it, and that does not work -- I’ve run disk utilities checked permissions, and run anti-virus and get no adverse results – I cannot figure out what is different that causes this problem

From previous experience 3 indicates a shutdown initiated by the SMC (System Management Controller) — hardware responsible for many low-level functions including power, sleep, lights, and fan activity.
Try resetting it:
Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.

ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

When ASM reads my block, it will usually read much more than just the block I requested.

When ASM reads my (8K) block, it will usually read much more than just the block I requested.
4 questions :
1) Am I right when I presume ASM will increase my request to 1 complete AU sized retrieval action done on the I/O subsystem?
2) Now what interests me is where does the rest of that I/O size sleep / reside ?
3) Under what circumstances will those poor, initially unused and discarded KB's be revived and be reckognized for their true value. Will only certain actions, like a scan, cause the 'overhead' to be used ?
kind regards, Niek

Hi Aman,
ASM does not do IOs .
ASM only gives extent map to clients and clients take that pointers and do direct IO on that block.
This is very much true statement and explains what will happen if data block is not available at buffer .
That's why most of IO errors are getting printed on rdbms alertlog file ,rather ASM .Which inturn confirms my statement...
ASM level DBWR ,LGWR are related to ASM level data processing .
Keeping above things in mind ,it clarifies ASM does not hold any IOs /place on sleep.
ASM at diskgroup level,always does IOs as per au_size of that diskgroup .

By "hard reset" you mean hold down the Home and power buttons until the iOS device restarts, correct?

My iPad does not restart, I have kept the button for more than 10 seconds and will not turn off. Please if anyone has any idea that I do, let me know. thanks

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: You have to hold 2 buttons down together.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else on top of it.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else over the top of it. Some pages will run text and pictures together, like a car rear-ending another or a train pile up. Other pages will cut an image or text short, i.e. it will display a portion of the top of the image or text but not the rest. This happens on Amazon for example, the section where it says "Customers who looked at this also looked at" will allow only a certain amount of the upper portion of the description immediately below the picture of the product but below that section everything is fine until I get to another section displaying more products and their descriptions and then it cuts the bottom portions off again. I've noticed this behavior mostly in the sections with product photos, the text sections seem okay. YouTube also displays this behavior. It's even doing it on this page right now. Below this box I can read "The more information you can provide the better chance your question will be answered " , but directly below that in the next sentence I can see the start of it with "Troublshootin" and the "Automatically Add" in a green field covering the "g". The next clear text is "A window will open in the top corner. Click Allow, and then click Install. If the automated way doesn't work, try these manual steps." I tried turning of pre-fetching, clearing history, cookies, and cache, scanning for malware with Avast and Windows Defender all to no avail. It began when I upgraded from dial up to DSL via AT&T Uverse. I have a Motorola NVG510 modem. The modem was replaced an hour ago along with new dedicated lines and DSL/Phone splitter from the box by an AT&T technician to make sure my incoming lines were up to par. He ran a connection test and verified everything is up to standards. IE does not display this behavior. I am running Firefox20.0.1 and all previous versions have acted the same way since I upgraded to DSL about 3 months ago.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Get the data with more than one of the desired value

Hi,
I need to pull the records with more than one value of 'Other' on the delivery days fields.
The delivery fields are mon,tue,wed,thu,fri and sat that tells the where the item will be delivered. The value can be Home, Work, or Other.
Here is the Sample data:
cust_id: 123
item: newspaper
mon: Home
tue:Work
wed: Other
thu: Home
fri: Other
sat: Other
And here is my query so far.
select
cust_id,
item,
mon,
tue,
wed,
thu,
fri,
sat,
sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1
else 0 end) as day_ctr
from customer
Could you please help me with the right formula I need to get this?
Thank you in advance..

First
DESC customer
Second
Can you explain what you are trying with
sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1 else 0 end) as day_ctr
Third
Usually it's helpful a example of the result you want...
Perhaps you want this
select DECODE(mon,1,(select distinct mon from customer), 'OTHER') mon,
        DECODE(tue,1,(select distinct tue from customer), 'OTHER') tue,
        DECODE(wed,1,(select distinct wed from customer), 'OTHER') wed,
        DECODE(thu,1,(select distinct thu from customer), 'OTHER') thu,
        DECODE(fri,1,(select distinct fri from customer), 'OTHER') fri,
        DECODE(sat,1,(select distinct sat from customer), 'OTHER') sat from
select
COUNT(DISTINCT mon) mon,
COUNT(DISTINCT tue) tue,
COUNT(DISTINCT wed) wed,
COUNT(DISTINCT thu) thu,
COUNT(DISTINCT fri) fri,
COUNT(DISTINCT sat ) sat
from customer
)

How to call the same query more than once with different selection criteria

Hi,
Please do anybody know how to solve this issue? I need to call one query with the fixed structure more than once with different selection criteria. For example. I have following data
Sales organization XX
                     Income 2008 Income 2009
Customer A       10                 20
Customer B        30                  0
Sales organization YY
                     Income 2008 Income 2009
Customer A        20                5
Customer B        50                10
Now, I need this. At the selection screen of query, user fill variable charakteristic "Sales organization" with interval XX - YY, than I need to generate two separate results per sales organization, one for Sales Organization XX and the second for SO YYwhich will be displayed each on separate page, where result for SO YY will be dispayed under result for SO YY. Are there some options how to do it for example in Report Designer or WAD or with programming? In Report Designer is possible to use one query more than once, but I dont know how to force each query in RD to display result only for one Sales Organization, which will be defined in selection screen.
Thank you very much
J.

Hello,
thanks to all for cooperation. Finally we solved this issue with the following way..
User fill appropriate SO on the selection screen, which is defined as range. This will resulte, that selected SO are listed in report below each othe (standard behavior). Required solution we achieved with the Report Designer, we set page break under each Result row of RD. This caused, that report is divided into required part per SO, which are stated each on separate page.

What causes my ipod touch 4g to become extremely hot when i play games or surf the web for more than 30 minutes?

my ipod touch 4g becomes very hot when play games or surf the web for more than 30 minutes. does any body know why?

Maybe the solution is that you iPod is slow is because you are not closing your apps after you use them. To do this you must:
1. Press the Home Button to get out of that app
2. You will return to the Home Screen
3. Click the Home Button twice, (do this quite fast, But not TOO fast)
4. A bar with all your apps that you have come out of will be on the bottom of the screen
5. Hold down one of those apps
6. They will start to "jiggle"
7. A little red circle will be beside all of the "jiggling" apps
8. Press that little red circle and those apps will close (NOTE: This is NOT deleting your apps)
9. Now you apps are closed NOT deleted
10. Your iPod will now speed up in: Browsing, downloading, syncing and much more
11. (Bonus) - To DELETE an application do the same thing ( But not clicking the Home Button twice) and all of your apps which you downloaded will "jiggle" and there will be an black circle with an X in it, click that X to DELETE that app and a dialog will pop up and say: "Do you really want to delete this app?" If you want to: Click yes.
And that is how to speed up your iPod
Bonus) - is how to DELETE an App
Thank You,
Apple 5

Owa_text.vc_arr: can't handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

In the Oracel Web Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer.
I amusing PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OWA4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the multple line texts in my form.
If the text length is less than 4000 characters, everything works
fine.However when the texts are longer than 4000 characters but
less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error
message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define
datatype.
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

end loop;
end;

Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
Hope this or folks from the other list can help.
Mike.

How to retrict user cannot open the same form more than once (Forms 6i)

Our users always open the same forms more than once. For example the customer form, the user may access a customer record in the first form, however, he will open a new customer form to edit the same record, the result is he cannot save the record because the record is locked in the first customer form.
How can I control the user cannot open the same form more than 1 time.
Best Regards,
Kane

The customer form is only an example, I found there will cause a lot of problems is I cannot control the user from calling 1 program more than 1 than within application. Sometimes a user (not good in using computer) will overlap the form for many times.....
Is there any simple way to do that?...can I have some PL/SQL statement or build-in functions that let me easily found our what forms the user has already opened, then I can control whether I let him open this form or not.
Urgent...please
Thanks
