INT. HDs for MPro in Europe

Greetings Forum,
I need some help finding INT.HDs in Europe. Specifically Spain, but online in Europe works too.
What I'm looking for -
INT. HD for MacPro 2.66, more than 500gigs in size, good for video editing in non-RAID configuration. Source material is DV.
I would consider 2 - 400gig drives in a RAID Configuration, but I'd prefer to put only 1 drive because this is for 1 project only.
I've found this site and it looks OK. Never dealt with them so if anyone has, please let me know.
http://www.tig-spain.com
Thanks in advance for any help,
Paz
P-Book 1.5, 17" 2gsRAM Mac OS X (10.4.6) FCStudio

Yeah, I've been reading this forum page since/before I ordered my MPro and noticed Ned was here as well. Actually hoped he'd throw something down.
Thinking of going with 2 of the WD5000KS. (What the project can afford now)
Wasn't planning on RAIDing them, but thinking about it.
For now, they'll be pretty much dedicated to this one project. But for the future, thinking I could archive the material to an EXT. drive and have a 1TB INT. RAID.
At that point possibly getting another and making it 1.5TBs.
Any thoughts on this that you'd like to share?
Peace

Using Multiple External HDs for your iTunes content with one Library

Hello everyone so I have used this little trick a lot in the last few months and I thought I would share it.
I am using two 250 GB external HDs for all my iTunes files. Plus the Music on my internal HD
In order to have iTunes manage my content and store it in separate locations i.e. some on the internal HD in my MacBook and some on the external HDs at home. I had to convince iTunes that it really was all in one spot. How do you do this you ask well it is simple. Symbolic Links.
Linux has a great feature that allows you to link any two directories. Since Linux is the core of OS X a simple drag and drop of files and one Terminal command and you are on your way to separate locations for all your files and iTunes thinking it is all in the "iTunes Music" folder.
The command is as follows
ls -s "the directory where the files are" ./
this command must be run in terminal from the original location of the files after you have moved them to the trash. DO NOT EMPTY THE TRASH until you have verified that the link works or your files are safe on the external.
Below is the system that I use.
The original location of my TV Shows is my external HD labeled "iTunes Media"
The New location for my TV Shows is my second external HD labeled "iTunes TV Shows"
1. Drag and Drop the folders to the new location.
2. Move the files from the original location to the Trash.
In the Terminal window
3. cd /Volumes/iTunes\ Media/TV\ Shows/ (this is the original location for my TV Show directories)
4. ln -s /Volumes/iTunes\ TV\ Shows/"name of the show" ./
5. in iTunes I play one of the files just to make sure the link worked. It is really just a test on the first one I do not do this often but you should test a few just to make sure.
If someone needs help please email me. [email protected]
If this in not clear enough let me know and I will try and explain it better.

Hello! I want to unlock your iPhone 4s cellular network for travel to Europe. How to do it?

Hello! I want to unlock your iPhone 4s cellular network for travel to Europe. How to do it?

Only the carrier to which it is locked cna unlock it. Contact that carrier and ask if they offer that service and if you qualify.

My primary reason for buying an iPad is for travel in Europe. I live in an area of the US where Verizon rules. Is Verizon's 3G model good for international travel? I'm hearing conflicting views.

Verizon uses CDMA.
The rest of the world uses GSM.
The wifi will work, if you find a hotspot.
The 3G will not, unless south Korea moves to Europe.

IPad: Any advice on getting a pre-loaded Sim for use overseas (Europe)?

iPad: Any advice on getting a pre-loaded Sim for use overseas (Europe)?

Thanks, I thought this was the case, checking to see if anything had changed. Spain is the country in question. We previously were not able to obtain a Sim there but that may have been because of a carrier or individual employee problem. Will certainly try again next time (we did get a carrier Sim successfully in Italy one time). Cheers

2 iphone5s for us and europe?

I need to get new phones for my bosses who travel the world and currently have numerous separate phones. For complex reasons, they don't want to have one device with everything on it for the world so I need to get the new iphones for the US while their other iphones (and ipads and airbooks) are all filled with European styled data (contacts etc). I thus cannot use iCloud to sync the new phones, as this will either bring in the Euro content or it will wipe it out on their other existing Euro devices.
I am thinking (hoping) I can sync the new phones once to get the basic import of contacts, and then just not sync it with iCloud so the contacts in the US phones will remain styled as US , etc. yes? or can I keep the contacts syncing with iCloud and set the US iPhone to display them as US-styled on the US phone while still having their Euro iPhones display as Int'l dialing? or will the iCloud syncing change the numbers display to be identical (ie. 011-44-xxx-xxxx vs +1 (44) xxx-xxxx)
Mail:
I'm not sure exactly what to do about mail. I am assuming that whether I sync it or just create the mail accounts on the iphone as stand alone, they will still end up with a zillion "unread" emails on the phones that they will have already read during the months they were ex-US. If there's a work around this, please suggest.
I know logic dictates they should just have one iPhone and swap sim cards for the different territories, but I'm dealing with people who have been trained to keep all their devices separate and are "PC" based people (with PC IT people in Europe driving this train) who I am trying to segue into trusting Mac products. Therefore right now, they want only a "US phone" which will remain in the US.
Hope I'm making sense.
Thanks!

For contacts, you can use iCloud to create groups, & then decide what group is visible on what phone:

For mail, if Exchange or IMAP accounts(I suspect Exchange), mail will be kept in sync.

HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
& the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
In any event, I'm done...
Good luck and happy trails...

MacBookPro power adapter for UK and Europe

I am going to be spending a semester in the UK and was wondering where I could find a adapter for my power cable.

Apple sells a World Travel Adapter Kit for many countries, and a less expensive Kensington adapter kit. But you could also use any cheap UK plug adapter you find. You should make sure you have a grounded UK adapter as well as ungrounded.
You only need a plug adapter. You don't need a transformer, because the MacBook Pro power supply is compatible from 100V (USA) all the way to 240V (Europe). It should say "100-240V" in the tiny print on your power supply.

Java.sql.Statement.setFetchSize(int) option for non-scrollable result sets

Hello!
Our tests indicate that fetch size option mentioned makes visible difference in performance for non-scrollable result sets also. In the same time, it seems there is no way to set this option for such result sets at TopLink level, and default fetch size is always used instead.
Can somebody propose a solution for this, I mean a way to specify custom fetch size (for results without any scrolling)?
Thanks,
Sergey

To set the JDBC fetch size for a query, use the following APIs:
int desiredFetchSize = 500;
ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(YourClass.class);
CallQueryMechanism queryMechanism =
(CallQueryMechanism) query.getQueryMechanism();
DatabaseCall call = queryMechanism.getCall();
call.setResultSetFetchSize(desiredFetchSize);
If you wish to set the fetch size for all queries, consider using named queries for all queries (see the TopLink documentation for more information on named queries), and then configure them on startup.

Using 1st Gen iPhone for calls in Europe (Spain)

I have the original iPhone and I'll be travelling in Spain for a week, where I would like to buy a SIM card with a modest amount of voice minutes, say 200. I do NOT need data (although if I could easily get it I would of course take it.) I do not want to jail-break my phone. Any suggestions from people that have actually done this in Europe?

Unless your phone is unlocked, what you want to do won't work.

Burning DVD for international use (Europe, Russia, etc)

I recently burned a DVD using my G5 Superdrive and sent it to my family in Europe. They indicated that the DVD I sent them would not play on their DVD players. They mentioned that DVDs are restricted for certain geographical regions for piracy concerns.
Is there a way to burn a DVD using my American Superdrive so that the DVD I author can play in Europe?
As I am new to this, I would appreciate your help and recommendations.

What application did you use to create the disc? DVD Studio Pro can set the region code on your video when you create your DVD.

Average delivery time for MacBooks to Europe.

I've read quite a few posts (and written a couple myself) where people complain about TNT's delivery times. Now, being sick at home and waiting for my MacBook to make it out of China I was wondering:
If you live in Europe and have already received your MacBook, how many days did you have to wait from ordering it and actually receiving it?

X86 Solaris8 can't see the scsi HDs for installation

First, the three HDs were configured for a RAID card which I could not find support for by Solaris8. So, I put in a dual-scsi card (one for the external tape drive & another one for the HDs). Solaris8 first sees them and lists them as a choice of devices to boot from, I choose cdrom and continued with the installation. Later when it's time to pick a HD to start writing the OS to (right after host identification step of the installation process), it says: "No disks found: Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up".
Can someone please help?
Many thanks in advance, and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Can you see them from the OBP with a probe-scsi-all etc....
Are they actually Sun qualified disks, have they got Sun firmware on them, what are the model numbers.
Have a search on sunsolve for the ST number if it's a Seagate etc etc and try and find some firmware to burn to them from another system.
Failing that connect to another system and run format and low level format time. The RAID cont might of burnt somekind of special headers to them, god knows....
What kind of RAID cont was it? What type of system are you using, and what system were they in?
