Hi We do want to build up a network with the help of one of e new apple server products. Before we do so, I was wondering, who d be able to tv us some good advise? Thank you!

Hi,
We were thinking of actually using apple's server products for establishing a worldwide IT network for a small and later on medium sized business to provide everybody a solid and sound environment.
Hence, before we purchase, we wanted to make sure, whether some of you would be able to recommend us on how to move forward on the followings:
- which of the servers and which processor would be the best choice and are the most reliable ones
- would a "normal" Mac pro be sufficient enough for future tasks?
- a normal server, can also be used as a normal workstation.
- where can we get the right support in case needed? We had some difficulties in the pt in actually getting hold of the apple support centers.
- all our products with the exception of a few are apple products
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you and best regards
Frank

- which of the servers and which processor would be the best choice and are the most reliable ones
'most reliable'? I haven't found any reliablity issues or differences between any of the MacPro models - 4-core, 8-core, 12-core all just run and run and run. As for 'best choice' that depends on what you want to do with it, budget, workload, etc., etc., etc.
- would a "normal" Mac pro be sufficient enough for future tasks?
How long is a piece of string?
Seriously. I mean, who can know what 'future tasks' you expect to throw at the machine, and whether one machine or 50 is sufficient for the task. There are even tremendous differences in capacity (e.g. RAM, CPU power, etc.) between 'normal' MacPro models, therefore it's impossible to answer your question since we don't know what 'normal' is, nor do we know what 'future tasks' are.
- where can we get the right support in case needed? We had some difficulties in the pt in actually getting hold of the apple support centers.
If you're running business-critical services check out Apple's Enterprise Support offerings, find a local Mac dealership who's willing to help, or hire someone who knows what they're doing.

  • Want to invoke a UI map with the help of Service script

    I am creating UI for MWM MCP- handheld devices and I want to create HTML UI , let's say "First" with button "next" ,which onclicking invokes or opens another UI say "Child". Now when I close this "Child UI", again the "First " UI must open or the control should be passed to it.
    I could have done this with BPA script invokeMap but handleld devices don't support BPA scipts and invokeMap can be used only with BPA scripts.
    So I thought of using Service srcipt but my concern is how to invoke UI using service script?

    Hi everyone,
    I found the solution. 
    Live can be simple, with the smart printers of today.
    You have just to create the card in landscape mode en put the paper in porttrait mode into the printer.
    The HP Officejet 6500A Plus is so smart that he rotate the print direction so the text is printed correctly on the business card.
    So don't do it as I did before, creating in portrait, it won't work that way.
    Anyway, this solution works fine for me, hopefully it helps many other users.

  • Does anybody remember the demos that came with the Mac OS 7, '95-'96ish? I remember spin doctor, amazon trail, dino tycoon and others being on it.  Does anybody remember some colored balls which you could move around on a black background with music?

    This music also sometimes sounded erotic (weird, I know).  You could attach multiple balls together and they moved like a worm.  I also remember, on this same demo a weird, quirky shop where you could buy weird looking pets.  If anybody can tell me the names of the games or even better, the demo disk, you would make two sisters trying to remember their youth very, very happy.   

    System 7 came with some very classic, fun, interesting games.
    The game that you are thinking of was called "Firefall." The game was made by Pangea Software.
    Below is a youtube link to see the game in action / listen to the music:

    I am trying to convert an Illustrator cs6 file to a PDF and every time I do it, I lose all text and images. Can someone provide some assistance? Thank you!

    It's always a good idea to supply platform and AI version info.
    How are you "converting" the file? Are you choosing "Save As" and selecting PDF from the file format options? This will bring up additional save options. I would suggest "Illustrator Default" setting unless you have specific needs.

    Hi AM_Kidd.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
    My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
    Thanks again

  • Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you!

    Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you! I'm trying to avoid creating my exchange activesync account on her Iphone and then sync only my calendar.

    Thank you for your time. I'm trying to avoid that because she can then simply turn on mail syncronization and then she could read my mail. Another reason is our password policy, that enforces changing our windows logon password every 90 days. Of course changing windows logon passwords demands changing exchange account logon info (password) on Iphone. I have read somwhere that there was an app but it was removed from app store. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • When booting up I cannot get past the light blue logo with spinning disc. I have tried it with the install disc and using different keystrokes, i.e. "shift, s, c, o, " please advise. thank you in advance.

    When booting up I cannot get past the light blue logo with spinning disc. I have tried it with the install disc and using different keystrokes, i.e. "shift, s, c, o, " please advise. thank you in advance.

    The system on the original install dic is probably looking for the original video card.
    It may be possible for someone with the right skills to make an install disc for you with the driver for your new card.
    As I recall from my early days of being a Macuser, If you held down a key, (spacebar?), while starting it would open a dialog to take you through a monitor setup.

  • Hi! My iPhone was stolen 4 hours ago and the thief managed to change the apple iD until I changed it again, I was wondering if he can access to the iPhone now or use it now that it is changed again,does anyone know? Thank you!

    Hi!My iPhone 4s was stolen about 4 a hours ago,Thad thief managed tochange the apple iDpassword  so changed it after that ,I was wondering now that I changed it again if the thief can access or us it,does anyone know? Thank you!

    If you have Find My Phone enabled then put your phone in Lost Mode. If Find My Phone is not enabled then there is little you can do to prevent access to it. Unless you let anyone know your Apple ID's password, the thief should not be able to change it.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).
