Need advice from first Apple TV purchase

Hello

I need some advice on the purchase of my first Apple TV.

I want an Apple TV for two reasons:

(1) for watching movies and TV shows I purchased/rented from iTunes

(2) Watch Netflix

I have the choice between the 3rd and 4th gen Apple TV. The 3rd generation is MUCH less expensive than the 4th Gen seeing that my priority is my iTunes and Netflix content, it's worth spending a lot more on the 4th generation? Other than games and fancy remote what can the 4th gen cannot 3rd generation?

A colleague suggested that I'd rather have a Google Chromecast because it much cheaper than the Apple TV. I know even less about this than the Apple TV. The Chromecast will be able to play my purchased DRM protected iTunes movies and TV shows?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

4th Gen has also access to the subscription service music Apple 3rd generation does not, and as developers more come aboard, it will have at its disposal more Apps as the current 3rd generation is now basically 3 years and does not get a new round of software updates this time and no way of knowing if it will get any in the future.

4th Gen will probably continue to receive updates and support of the 3rd party developers such as Netflix for a while.

The Chromecast plays basically everything that is on your computer or mobile device screen. Unlike the Apple Tv, it does not on its own plays anything nor has an interface, you can see on the screen. It's just a receiver and you "cast" content. You cannot however "cast" iTunes protected content to it. This means that you can not directly play iTunes purchases and rentals on it.

Since you plan on playing iTunes content, the best bet is the Apple Tv. If you do not really need the apps and games, go for the 3rd GEN, otherwise you can go for the cheapest 32 GB 4th Gen

  • Need advice from WildCard RegEx

    I have a delicate situation where over a large body of code, spaces have been deleted inadvertently, so I need to find some words which must have a space after them, but now doesn't. In other words, I find errors.

    So let's say I need to find all occurrences of the word 'and' who are missing space after d, that the word "and" would have normally. At first I thought that I could add a space after all occurrences of 'and', but 'and' is often in the middle of a longer word, so this would create more problems. If I want to find all occurrences of 'and' that run in the following as "then" or "compound" Word, ignoring normal bodies "and" with a space after, how I would set that in my search box? Is there a wildcard RegEx that recognize a character, but ignore a space?

    Thanks for any help.

  • Need advice from resizing of photos and save the selection

    Hello

    I photograph the new employees and post it on our intranet. Whenever I take a photo with the same camera and the same distance. I import the image into Photoshop Elements 8.0 and resize it 2592 x 4608 pixels to 800 x 1422 and then I make a rectangular selection that shows only the head and neck. Then I cut the image to a new file and try to resize to 100 x 145 pixels, which is more suitable for our intranet. Usually this method works, but sometimes it can be very time consuming.

    Is there a better way to accomplish the same task? Is it possible to make a selection that is exatly 100 x 145, save and reuse the next time?

    Try using the crop tool. First select the tool and choose custom from the dropdown menu; then enter your dimensions in the boxes in the options bar. In the resolution box, type 72

    Drag the crop on your image tool and then click in the middle of the outline of the rectangle and position your image so that head and neck appear in the sketch of the harvest.

  • Need advice from configuration to the flash cache multi-node RAC/ASM

    We have a database of CARS to work two nodes. We install a new fusion 640 GB flash card in each node. The is a double card, so that it shows up as two devices: / dev/fioa and/dev/fiob on each node.
    We have created two groups of private drives, one on each node. The Group of disks on node 1 is '+ FLASHCACHE' and the disk on node 2 group is "+ FLASHCACHE2".

    We have not found specific examples of how to configure the parameters of the init for flashcache on RAC/ASM. We guess that we must do the following. If anyone would be critical and confirm or suggest something different, we would appreciate it very much!

    "prod1.db_flash_cache_file ='+ FLASHCACHE/flash1"
    prod2.dg_flash_cache_file = '+ FLASHCACHE2/flash2'
    * .db_flash_cache_size = 600G

    Thanks for any advice.

    Jim

    Published by: jimbev90 on January 5, 2012 08:18

    Hi Jim,.

    prod1.db_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE/flash1'
    prod2.dg_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE2/flash2'
    *.db_flash_cache_size=600G
    

    Your configuration is correct.

    Smart Flash Cache database is not shared across RAC nodes. It is private to each RAC instance. For this reason, each RAC instance must define its own local cache of flash file path. When the flash cache is managed by ASM, a separate diskgroup is necessary for each instance flash cache.

    You can use ALTER SYSTEM for db_flash_cache_size set to zero to disable the flash cache. Alternatively, you can use ALTER SYSTEM to deliver the flash cache to its original size to reactivate it.

  • Need advice from 11g - I should install last Patch BEFORE I create the database?

    Hi experts,

    I installed the software of database 11g only - without databases exist.

    I want to do 2 things - create a user database and also install the latest patch for 11.2 level

    I guess I'll have less work to do if I first install the patches to 11.2 g before you create the database. In this way, the base will automatically have the latest patch. Is this correct?

    Thank you, John

    Best practices, such as defined by Oracle is:

    1. base version of the software install only
    2. apply patches on Oracle home
    3. run netca
    4. run dbca

  • Need advice from a pro - 3D and Illustrator CS5 AE files annimation

    I'm using CS5 and I systematically use an Illustrator file in product videos that I'm trying to change, and I would like to add features to the video, but I can't seem to find answers to what I assumed that would be a pretty common situation.

    I want to add depth to the logos (3D) files and animate for the intro to the video. I came to the conclusion that After Effects is the best solution for animation, I can then import into Premiere Pro timeline. Assuming the above is correct, I'm having a hard time to find how to import these Illustrator files in After Effects, and whether it is an ideal environment in which to create the 3D file. There are of course options 3D in Illustrator, and then there are options in Photoshop and once again in After Effects and Premiere Pro. I don't know where to start with that, and treat all resources I saw how to do this with text, but not with an existing Illustrator file.

    So my question is, what don't recommend this as the best method of manufacturing pros Illustrator files into a 3D object that can be animated in After Effects or Premiere Pro. I am not in a position to buy a plugin to simplify the process (Zaxwerks doesn't have a compatible version of CS5 yet anyway) so I'm curious to know what would be the best way to achieve these effects using CS5 software and existing features. All links to the resources that address this specific issue would also be much appreciated.

    Well, your best bet would be to copy & paste the paths to Photoshop, then regrowth can add depth, color / textures it and add light and then import the PSD 3D resulting in AE. is not glorious and fitted with a number of problems of performance and other obstacles, but the best solution if you don't want to spend the extra money or go through the process of learning a program entirely in 3D...

  • Need advice. Kindly Guide

    Hello

    Don't know if this is the right place to ask such questions...

    I need advice.

    I have 5 years of expereince in Oracle. (4 years in Oracle PL/SQL and 1 year while Oracle DBA). The company's management now wants to move me in the security line Oracle.

    I'm confused. Should I stay and work as a DBA as backup recovery, db monitoring etc or should I pass security Oracle online.

    I wonder is there really a difference between a DBA or be an Expert in Oracle security? isn't security Oracle in Oracle DBA?

    My apologies if I asked something stupid... but I need advice from gurus.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    So I don't understand your doubts.

    ... I think that Oracle security is essentially a subset of Oracle DBA.

    I wouldn't say that.
    Security must not take lightly, and I know people very strong knowledge dedicated to who, without being 'subset' of DBA. This is a rather complementary position.
    But even once, that depend on your company, the company you are involved, etc.

  • need advice on which version of Dreamweaver to purchase

    Hello.  I need advice I can buy it on which version of Dreamweaver.  I have an iMac v. 10.10.5.  I want a monthly fee, want just a one-time software purchase so that I can build my own personal Web site

    Creative cloud is simply a distribution model & payment.  You always download & install the software on your computer as you always have.  You always save the files on your local hard drive, you always. Nothing has changed in this regard.

    CS2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5 is no longer supported or sold by Adobe.  If you buy software from another source in line do so at your own risk.  The pirated versions were circulating these last time and they do not work.  In some cases, they contain malware that could compromise your computer.

    You have a modern operating system.  This is another reason to use current software. Several older versions required Rosetta which Apple is more included in its press releases.  Purchase of old copies similarly ligit software does not mean that it will work on your system.  Let's face it, the stuff you used 8 years ago are useless today because Apple & Win continue to change operating systems.

    I use a little media with DW CC.  It is a very fast, modern code editor.   In fact, Adobe will soon integrate DW CC 2016 version supports.

    Hello

    Do I need approval from Apple to publish additional toll-free numbers if the app is approved?

    Our magazine will be a multi app problem, the magazine itself is free to download by end-users, so no in-app purchase is necessary.

    I just want to confirm if an approval by Apple is necessary in this case or not, because it will impact our workflow lipids.

    For any additional questions, I understand that we cannot publish them directly from the producer of folio.

    Can you please confirm.

    Toll free numbers haven't needed approval from Apple. Once your application is approved, you can publish for free questions like 'Pubic and free' and your folios appear directly in your application.
