Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?
Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?
Well, there is an article on MacWorld saying there were a lot of changes and improvements to Disk Utility.... and those have a way of impacting things.
I got surprised to have trouble after 10.6.3 with SuperDuper on two different systems, that I am still scratching my head over, but had to use Carbon Copy Cloner and RESTORE in Disk Utility for now, would crash (sent report to both) as soon as SD began.
TechTool Pro 5 is another that sometimes needs to take a couple weeks to see if they need an update and validate against the final shipped build.

Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?
Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...
The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
functions with your data.
There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
about Oracle Spatial data types.
The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
sdo_gtype=3002
sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
(element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
hand side y,z plane.
etc.
The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work. -
I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?
Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Has anyone tried 1 terabyte drives with Apple G5 PCI RAID card 1M9699g?
I am planning on setting up RAID 5 on one of my PPC G5 Xservers with an Apple PCI RAID card and 3 Hitachi 1 terabyte HDs. At $180 a drive and a $300 or so for a card this seems like a good setup. Has anyone tried this or have any suggestions.
It worked, for about $860 I now have a 1.8 TB xServer

Has anyone tried syncing their photos to iTunes with the cable in addition to how it should work via wi-fi on iCloud? On the Apple support info page, it says you should do both types oof backup. The Genius Bar told me 2x not to do both. What experiences has the community had? I'm also having syncing issues with photos most recently as well as contact updates. (I have an iPhone 4S with the iOS7.1) Thanks much!
It sounds like you are mixing up several different things (or not using the terminology that Apple uses).
One thing is backup. You can backup via icloud or via iTunes and there is no reason you cannot do both -- I do and the second link below from Apple gives instructions. Doing a backup will include photos from the Camera Roll in the backup but you will not be able to see the results -- all of the backup data will be stored on iCloud or on your computer in files that are not designed to be accessed by you for any purpose other than restoring to your phone in the event of a problem. More information on backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
If you simply want to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer, the terminology Apple uses for that is "import" and it is done without iTunes. New photos (taken after you change the setting) can be done via PhotoStream which is a cloud based option. The other option is via cable. Instructions for both: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Syncing via iTunes (with regard to photos) is used to transfer photos the other direction -- from the computer to the phone. Instructions for that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 -
Has anyone tried to use Labview with VNC
I am trying to use VNC viewer and Labview to remotely code/control labview application. Lots of right clicks dont show up on the VNC. I guess this happens only for Labview and not for other applications. Has anyone tried to use VNC before? is there a workaround?
Just confirmed that each of the above items works properly in our setup, using either WinME or Linux as the controller of the Win98 host. In the 'Connection Options' screen of the controlling computer I have only 'Auto-Select' and 'Emulate 3 buttons' checked. 'Current User Properties' on the controlled computer has only 'Accept Socket Connections', 'Do Nothing', 'Remove Desktop Wallpaper', 'Poll Foreground Window' and 'Poll Console Windows Only' checked. Hopefully one of the above will make a difference.

Has Anyone tried running Windows Apps on Tiger/Leopard using Crossover?
Hi,
I had heard that you can run some Windows applications using a program called Crossover.
Has anyone tried Crossover?
I need to run Qimage on my MacProIt does work, but it can only run programs that have been converted for use with CrossOver. You need to check their site information on whether the program you want to use is available in converted form.
CrossOver hasn't been verified for 10.5.2, although it is certified for 10.5.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it. -
Has anyone tried using a MBP with TD at two different sites?
I just got my TD at home and at one at work yesterday. While I love the display and the docking ability it provides, I have encountered an issue that I haven't resolved, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.
At home, the TD is positioned to the left side of the MBP, so I was able to orient the display preferences accordingly. At work, I have to position the TD above the MBP. The starting position for the TD is above the MBP. I am wondering if the MBP can recognize that these two TDs are different devices and position them accordingly. It appears not.
Another interesting quirk: At home, the MBP recognizes the built-in mic and speakers and calls them Thunderbolt audio, I believe. At work, it calls them USB audio. I am wondering what other strange differences I'll see.
2011 17" MBP
TD
Snow Leopard (hey, I still run XP under Parallels 6.0 - I like my SW to thoroughly soak before using it)Here's an update: The Thunderbold Display user interface is broken.
I made sure all the software/firmware was up to date (now they both label the TD audio as USB, interestingly enough - was the shipped firmware with one of the devices newer than that on the web site???). On days when the Moon is full, the MBP comes out of hibernation with the only display on the computer, on cloudy days, the computer comes out of hibernation with the only display on the TD. From 10 minutes after the hour until quarter to the hour, both displays come up, but open Finder windows randomly are placed on one display or the other. On Thursday mornings, the icon locations on the desktop get shuffled like the display resolution was reduced to VGA and then restored. While both the TD and MBP audio and camera work and I can set either to be active, the system has a definite preference to use the TD for audio and camera (except that Facetime only wants to use the MBP audio).
Did Apple let Microsoft get their hands on this? -

It would be nice to be proxied through tor.. but my ip seems the same.Hi Tullemeck:
# Not sure what you mean by Janus proxy! Do you mean Mozilla proxy called Janus i.e. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/janus-proxy-configurator/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/janus-proxy-configurator/

Has anyone tried the "Table Filters" with Numbers 3.0 (Maverick).
I use the formula If(isblank(A5),"","Data"). the previous version of Numbers treated the "" as a blank cell and the Table Filters did not display that row if I had the "Reorginize" filter set to "Is Not Blank". The Maverick version treats the "" as text. Has anyone found a work-around for this?
EM,
I'd suggest that you try changing
If(isblank(A5),"","Data")
to
If(isblank(A5)," ","Data")
I changed the null string to a space character.
When you sort, choose text is NOT a space. (Edit: I meant to say Filter, not sort)

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.
I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes. -
Snow Leopard's VNC server - does it work?
Hi,
Question 1: Can you confirm if the VNC server in Snow Leopard works out of the box, once Screen Sharing and the VNC password are set up in Preferences? I am trying to connect from RealVNC from Windows XP.
Question 2: Does anyone have any idea how to reliably get an L2TP VPN working from Snow Leopard over a 3G connection? If I can get a working answer to Q2, then I don't care about Q1.
The Back-Story...
I am trying to get access to my iMac desktop through a VPN running over 3G. I would rather use dial-up because it is easier and quicker (in that by the time I get this mess running I could have finished my life's work and retired) but something inside keeps saying that it should all Just Work.
For those who are amused by the misfortune of others, the VPN connects from my Snow Leopard laptop, but it will not pass traffic. No pings, no nothing. I tried to add a route sending all 192.168 traffic down the hose, but my reward was the grey curtain of death and an OS X reboot.
Anyway, I have given up on the whole 3G thing from Snow Leopard - it is so unpredictable that it gets embarrassing when other (Windows) people are looking on.
However, my macbook has a copy of Windows XP running in Fusion. It makes me feel queasy to even think this, but I get nostalgic for the networking in windows - it was a pain at the time, but now it looks positively shiny.)
I get it to take over the 3G usb thingo, and it creates a VPN first time, and I can access the web server on the iMac through it. I could probably even get it to share files if I spent half a day on it (Oh, right... I forgot - It Just Works... barely.) However, what I need to be able to do is see the iMac screen from the laptop. If the **** routing would work, I could use Apple's Screen Sharing, but it doesn't so I have to use VNC from the Windows VM.
Now I am trying to get VNC to connect from Windows to the iMac. This Just Works too... I have downloaded the latest version of realVNC (the free version) and installed it into Windows on the laptop. I have activated Screen Sharing in Preferences on the iMac, and set a VNC password.
When I try to connect using RealVNC, I enter the host name, I get another window asking for the password, then when I hit Enter, I get a bright flash of dark as VNC seems to open a screen window then ka-foopa - it is gone. In Task Manager, the client has disappeared.
I have seen a lot of messages doing a lot of discussion about this, and it does not look good. If I wanted to muck about with stuff just for the fun of it, I could have saved a lot of dough and switched to Linux.
It is nearly 2011, and this stuff should all be working by now - VPN and VNC have been around for a decade and it still needs witchcraft to get it to work. Why is that?Mr Hoffman, you are right about the kernel fault it gives me the willies.
_Client software and the dongle_
The dongle is a Sierra Wireless USB 308 branded as Bigpond Elite 21 (because I am an elite kinda guy) and it has been working well under many circumstances for some time. There is a connection app that is part of the OS X support kit for the USB 308 device.
For the VPN, I am using OS X's network prefs. The dong turns up in NetPrefs' connection list as USB 308. To make the connection, I start the connection app and it dials and logs into the network.
Also, I can use it to successfully connect to other VPNs, just not this one so it mostly works.
I have called the carrier's support desk and they don't provide free support for network apps. However, they do have a paid support product (Telstra Plus) which charges $59 if they solve your problem. I called them and they were very sympathetic until they heard "Mac" but bravely soldiered on until they completely lost interest when I mentioned "VPN".
_Active Connections_
According to Network Prefs, the only active connection is the USB 308, and the IP address it is assigned is 124.183.blah. The DNS server addresses automatically set by the connection are 61.something. There is no indication of a 192.168.1 network other than at the target.
Output from netstat -rn on the client machine indicates that the only active networks are en2 (the USB 308) and lo0. There are no 192.168 routes listed in the routing table.
L2TP
We know the L2TP is working (and that the carrier network supports it) because the windows VM on the MacBook can successfully connect using the identical hardware. The only differences are the client software for the USB 308 and the OS.
PPTP
We don't use PPTP because (a) Microsoft cooked it up, and (b) L2TP over IPSEC is said to be solidly secure. However I have just taken it for a spin and it is working. So it is a fallback. It can be argued that PPTP must be OK because so many people use it, but you can say that about Windows too, and I won't believe you.
I have installed IPsecuritas (which I like a lot), I have carefully matched the settings in the router with the settings with IPSecuritas, and it still doesn't work. I suspect that IPSec/L2TP is not meant to be used, but rather just created to be admired from a distance.
Of course it could be the router. Any company that calls itself Billion is suspect from the the outset, no?
I will shake their tree and see if they will confess to anything.

My mouse quit working shortly after installing snow leopard.
On the log in screen it is stuck looking for a wirelesss mouse, which I do not have
How do I get around this besides buying a wireless mouse?What kind of mouse do you have? USB? Have you tried to plug it in - try all the USB ports (maybe there is a problem with one). It should automatically detect it.

Has anyone tried the Zagg Smartbuds with Lumia 920...
I just found that Zagg offers 50% discount in their website. I already have all my stuff covered in shields similar to theirs, but I was thinking of using the discount towards the Zagg smartbuds.
So I was just wondering if anyone on here has personally used them and if so, what's your opinion on it?How long is the sale on for? I can try this evening, but here is what was the deal on the 900. The Zaggs have a single button control, which worked fine on the 900. Play Pause, answer/end, worked fine and I think double click forward, triple back, but don't hold me to that. The issue with third party headphone controls is that the volume stuff generally doesn't work because it is geared to iPhone (proprietary). In the Zaggs case they have a physical volume slider, so you can control the volume down from whatever you have the phone set to. It doesn't control the phone volume, like Nokias own headphones do. Other than that, the Zaggs are good earphones, especially at half off.
