• Need help with Macbook

  Hello, I recently bought a Macbook from a friend and since I got the Mac it's very very slow at doing things like browsing the internet using Safari, it takes forever to load, web pages and all sorts of things that I'd like to get help with this problem maybe a few recommendations and also on how to speed up... If you need to care about Macbook, I can give these thx.

  To sell or transfer ownership of a Mac, even to a member of your family, you must follow these instructions. So far, you will have continuous problems.

  Refer to what to do before you sell or give away your Mac

  1. If you have enabled FileVault, disable it in system preferences > Security and privacy.
  2. "Remove" your iTunes account. Ditto for Audible if you have one.
  3. System Preferences > iCloud > deselect 'Back to My Mac' and 'find my Mac '.
  4. Disconnect from iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.

  Next: delete all of your personal information by erasing the internal storage of the Mac completely.

  1. If your Mac comes with a grey system installation DVD, start up your Mac with this disc in the optical drive, all holding the key c to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which must be erased before selling.
     • Apple stopped Macs shipment requiring these discs in August 2011.
  2. If your Mac does not comes with disks, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
     • using three fingers press on and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), optionand R.
     • With a fourth finger, press the power button to turn on the Mac.
     • Keep the other three fingers here where they are until you see the icon "spinning globe.
     • This method force the Mac to download BONES initially installed from Apple servers, that won't require not an Apple ID install.
  3. Remove any password Open Firmware, if you created a: select utility password firmware in the Utilities menu and remove.
  4. Select disk utility from the utilities menu.
  5. Delete all partitions that can be created.
  6. Select the icon for the hard drive to the Mac, and then select the tab "delete".
  7. Click on the 'Security Options' button and erase the drive.
     • More "robustly" you erase the disc, the longer it will.
     • The fastest method is sufficient, since all but the techniques more expensive and equipment will be able to recover data deleted safely.
  8. When he finishes, quit disk utility.
  9. In the utility menu, select Install Mac OS X .
     • An identifier Apple won't be necessary. If a prompt for an Apple ID, return to step 5.
     • Do not create user accounts.
  10. When he finishes, shut down the computer.
  11. If you want to install the bundled apps that have been included with your Mac, restart using your DVD Applications if it was included and install the bundled apps.
      • Apps, delivered with the new Macs sold without disks cannot be transferred. His new owner must buy them from the Mac App Store with its own Apple ID.

  If the Mac is sold to someone outside the family, consider the following additional information:

  1. System provided with your Mac installation DVD must stay with him forever and be included in the sale.
  2. Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, documents printed, same box if you have.
     • AppleCare remains with the equipment and can be transferred.
  3. Run an invoice indicating the serial number of the Mac.
  4. Once is no longer in your possession, remove the Mac of your devices in my support profile.

• Installation of XP with partitions

  I have a Satellite M30 and you want to install Windows XP with partitions. I did before recovery, which is easy - but since it seems that the installation of Windows on this Toshiba laptop is different to other computers my friend told me that he couldn't help me.
  What are the steps for installation with partitions?
  All of the pitfalls that I should worry about?

  After purchasing the laptop I've never seen the CD-Rom in Windows XP home. I have it lose or do I just get the restore CD?

• Need help with screen Blus of death (BSOD) on my computer toshiba laptop

  Hello all, Ive had a little last week, or problems with my laptop. While playing a game (minecraft), I would randomly have a BSOD error and my laptop will re-start. Initially, I gave it no thought, but when it happened again, I decided to try to do a little research, but I'm not terrible with technology and other then I'm neither the case with my own research.

  If someone could point me in the direction of a few possible ways to get this problem.

  guys do you propose I make to the store and see if they can check it out, what would I need if I did.

  I got a program to read some sort of file "dump" made when occurs a BSOD, I publish what this program here says? the program is BlueScreenView, if yes, what I have post the spectator thing? There are has 2 main screens on it, SDO as Sho different dump files (which is on the top) and on the bottom, it lists the names of different files for each dump file I think that some of them highlighted.

  im not this product with tech so I don't know much but I need to post anything on my laptop or any information of the dumpfile and would have this info help in any way to determine the problem? just tell me what I have to post and ill get the information displayed in a response, thank you.

  -leoknighted

  PS: I don't think that playing minecraft is the cause of the BSOD and crashing, but I only get it when playing minecraft, so I don't know if minecraft is causing accidents and others. I watch videos and this all the time and I never have an accident. I'll try and play a different game and see if this causes my laptop down and the cause is perhaps high usuage to my laptop, as I've said games require a lot of power of a laptop/computer, if they are not the 'best' laptop for games. but yh, if someone thinks they can help me and need some information please tell me so I can get it for you. If you guys think it would be best to get a professional to look just mylaptop say, however im save as a last resort.

• Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

  Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

  My hardware:

  I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

  The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

  Thanks for posting this (and the WITH clause for sample data). It is very useful.

  I have a few responses from students and the valid values are + / / (alphabet) o/p and spaces at the end of the scam only not in the middle.

  You combine several qeustions responses in a single VARCHAR2 column? It would be better to have a separate line for each question.

  According to my condition, the registration number 2 3.4 must be in the request but I'm alone (chart 3).

  What exactly are your needs? You try to find the rows where the student_response contains one of the forbidden characters, or if it contains a space anywhere, but at the end of the string?

  Can we use REG_EXP

  Yes, but it's pretty easy and probably more effective, do not use regular expressions in this case:
  Here's one way:

  SELECT     record_number
  ,     student_response
  FROM     x
  WHERE     TRANSLATE ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
              , 'X+-OP'
              , 'X'
              )     IS NOT NULL
  ;
  

  In other words, once you remove the spaces and all occurrences of '+', '-', 'o' or 'P', then the forbidden characters are left, and you want to select the line, if there is one of these.

  If you really, really want to use a regular expression:

  SELECT     record_number
  ,     student_response
  FROM     x
  WHERE     REGEXP_LIKE ( RTRIM (student_response)
                , '[^-+OP]'          -- or '[^+OP-]', but not '[^+-OP]'.  Discuss amongst yourselves
                , 'i'
                )
  ;
  

  but, again, it will be probably slower than the first solution, using TRANSLATE.

  What follows is a bit simpler that TRANSLATE:

  SELECT     record_number
  ,     student_response
  FROM     x
  WHERE     RTRIM ( UPPER ( RTRIM (student_response, ' '))
             , '+-OP'
             )          IS NOT NULL
  ;

  First uninstall Sophos. Anti virus apps are not necessary and may cause problems. Remove the bittorrent as well. It can be a source od malware.

• How to get help with Add ons and extensions that stop working

  I have saved passwords and it has stopped working. It's so hard to get help with Moxilla

  rosemarybales said

  I still don't know why the extension button passwords saved with the key icon has stopped working.

  This button displays the saved passwords in Firefox's built-in password manager, is no separate passwords that record you in Dashlane. Can you save passwords in both places? (Well, I guess you do.)

  I have a guess on why it has stopped working. Firefox 40 has some changes to how extensions can work with the user interface, so quite a few extensions that have been more than one year must be updated for Firefox 40. It has been updated on January 10, 2012.

  Anyway, the way of 'long' to display the passwords saved in Firefox is through the Options page, the Security Panel, the saved passwords button.
