Looking for feedback from those who have installed Windows
I have an Intel iMac - brilliant machine, I love it. I have not installed Windows : I just don't have the need to justify doing it, but I'm glad to know I can if I do need, or just want to.
Having a Mac is almost like being immune to viruses (almost - I'm not careless). Everytime I use a PC there are message about viruses - it must drive them crazy! And to install Windows on my iMac would render it vulnerable.
I'm just looking for feedback from those who have taken the plunge: how's it working for you? I'm not so concerned about the speed...more so about .exe files running amok.
There is no way I will install Windows without a valid need and hearing at least a couple of first hand user experiences
I HAVE SPENT 1 HOUR TODAY AT THE APPLE SHOP ASKING THE GENIUS GUY - WHY ARE APPLE COMPUTERS IMMUNE TO VIRUS AND HOW DO I PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM BEING INTERROGATED AND TRANSMITTED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
MY QUERY STEMS FROM EMAILS - IF THEY HAVE A PICTURE ATTACHED THE MACHINE WILL NOT OPEN THE PICTURES - THE MESSAGE SAYS TO PROTECT MY IDENTITY CLICK HERE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD. I HAVE TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT TO TRUST THE SITE WHICH SEEMS ODD AND SO WHEN I ALLOW THE DOWN - I DO WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON.
I DO RUN A SEPARATE PC AND WHEN I DOWN LOAD THE MAILS ONTO THAT COMPUTER MY NORTON ENGAGES AND WARNS OF INFORMATION OF PRIVATE NATURE BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE TRANSMITTED - AT THAT STAGE I CAN STOP THE TRANSMISSION - ON THE MAC I HAVE NO MEANS - THE GENIUS GUY SAYS DON'T WORRY.
HELP - CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAC THAT WOULD SETTLE MY CONCERNS AND ALLOW ME TO DOWN LOAD IMAGES CONTAINED IN EMAIL WITHOUT WORRY OF THE COMPUTER BEING FRISKED FOR DATA AND IT BEING TRANSMITTED INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

Considering buying a 6D looking for feedback from someone who has one
Looking for reviews of the Canon 6D from users of same
I have t2i and bought 6d about two weeks ago.
I'm still learning about 6d but 6d is better in every aspects.
Worth for the money? Not sure.
My t2i is good enough for my purpose.
If I had no camera, I would buy t2(3,4,5)i over 6d(too much money).
But I would pick 6d over 7d, if I have enough money.
Again, 6d is very solid, powerful camera (for me) . -

GLIMS-Any feedback from people who have tried it?
I was reading/participating in a thread with comments from those of us who prefered having two search windows in Safari and one participant suggested GLIMS. It looks very interesting, but I'm always nervous about adding someone. I'd be very interested in comments and feedback from anyone who has tried or is currently using Glims.
Information is at this link:
http://www.machangout.com
Thanks! FYI: I'm using Lion, version 10.7.4 with Safari 6.0 on my desktop iMac.Glims is entirely trustworthy and works a treat.
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, or a specific search engine, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field. -
Advice from those who have had both the 2G and 3G iPhones
I am seriously considering trading my 3G iPhone for a 2G version. Those of you who have had both- do you think i will regret the trade? Mostly I use the iPhone for calling and also for emails. The internet i use only if i don't have my laptop available and sometimes i use the GPS.
Right now I pay per text msg as I did not want to pay extra for text messaging. If texting were included in the plan I would send more text msgs. I typically have the 3G turned off because I don't want the battery to be drained so quickly . . .
Oh well, right now with all that said, it sounds like I probably won't miss the 3G and maybe need to save money for now by paying for the old data plan cost with the 2G phone . . . but there is always the wondering if i will regret the trade that may take place tomorrow afternoon.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as I ponder this decision. . .I like my iPhone 3G more than my original iPhone. 3G is nice to have, GPS has helped me many times already when on the original it was much harder because it didn't know my exact location. I prefer the plastic backing, I get greatly improved EDGE reception where as it was very poor on the original. Speaker and speaker phone volumes are much higher. My battery life is the same from what I can tell, I don't normally keep 3G on since I really use it as a data connection only while mobile.

Is BT infinity good, feedback from people who have...
So my area just got enabled for Fiber Optic and now have a selection of ISP to choose from. At the moment I'm with Sky Boradband Unlimited and they've been perfect. They have offered me a fanstistic deal which is still cheaper than what is BT offering. My question is though is BT Infinity good, I know a lot of people who are with BT at the moment and all they've had is trouble.
I have had no problems at all with Infinity 2 and the home hub 3. I run a MAC (desktop and aptop)an iPad, an androd tablet, two phones, BTVision, Apple TV, OnLive games console all without problems.

For those who have installed a new hard drive...
Like many of my fellow Mac-Heads, I am running out of storage spae on my little G4 12-inch. I have the 80G Fujitsu and would like to upgrade for more space. There are some 120G notbook drives on sale right now, and my scenario would go something like this:
1. Get the 120G Samsung ATA drive
2. Buy an eclosure to make the new drive an external drive
3. Run Disk Utility and copy my 80G drive contents onto the new 120G in the enclosure
4. Follow the online steps and intall the new 120G drive into the drive bay in my little G4 12-inch (looks fun and do-able!)
5. Run this configuration for a while, maybe a few weeks, and make sure it is all kosher with the new 120G drive inside.
Once complete, this would give me a new 120G internal drive and a whole 80G drive of external storage.
Problem is, I am not sure that it would work. You see, the 80G drive is partitioned and do not know how this would affect my swap.
Has anyone tried this, and what effects, if any, would I incur in the trade? How would the formatting of the new 120G drive be affected, aside from the usual "loss" of a few Gigs in the formatting process? Would it end up only being able to see the size of the original drive? (I am technically competent in the physical swap so that is not an issue.)I did this about a year ago, but I went from 40 to 80gb. I pulled the 40 out and installed the 80. I put the 40 into a firewire enclosure. I installed a fresh copy of 10.4 onto my new 80gb. And then I transfered all the files I needed from the 40 to the 80 - i.e. back onto my powerbook.
I was lucky in that I went from 5400rpm to 7200rpm and my little revision A 12" seemed zippy again. - till I crammed it full again within 6 months. The real solution is to have a honkin' external hd to keep the really big files on.
Of course, I backed up the 40 on a separate 40gb external before I began.
Haven't looked back and I now have a small 40gb "rescue" disk.

Friends of Digital Workflow, especially photographers,
I'm just about to buy all new studio equipment.
I have two threads to my question:
1. Want some input about iMac vs Mac Pro (with a 27' monitor), which monitor system do you prefer?
2. I am Guru level in the Creative Suite but have little knowledge base for working with Aperature. Want some feed back about pros and cons of the workflow.
I'm also investing in X-Rite Color Suite for Print so that cameras, monitors, printers and projectors may be calibrated. I've used Gretag equipment for years and know profiling quite well. This is an important issue for knowledge about how profiles interface with Aperature.
I appreciate any and all comments.
Merci,
Frederick Park

PS You are welcome to request my personal email or phone number if you feel a lengthy discussion is an option.Hi Frederick,
You're spending a lot of money. I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
Environment:
Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
Screen:
The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate. For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors. I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer. At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
Printer:
Epson's are great, imho. I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed. I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however. The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
Aperture workflow:
Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool. Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor. Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs. That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture. It is not at all like Bridge. But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use. There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
Good luck!

Feedback from users who have hit disk full on their TM backup Volume
I'm very curious about user experiences whose TM backups have encountered a disk full condition.
For example...
How did you handle it ?
Where you informed of oldest backups being deleted before or after they were actually deleted by TM ?
Did you restart TM backups on the same Volume ?
Did you switch TM to backups to another Volume ?
Did you attempt to copy the TM backups from the full Volume to another larger Volume ?
Did TM backup behave sensibly or did it cause severe issues like hanging or just spinning and spinning or aborting without any error message displayed ?
If it failed and you saw the red "Failed" and the "i" icon that can be clicked for more information on the failure, did the extra informative information help you dealing with the disk full situation ?
If extra information was displayed for the failure did you fully understand the various options provide to you ?
Did you simply give up and stop running TM backups ?
Did you go into the TM backup folder and delete some of the backups and if so, how did you decide which ones to delete ?
Did you use the TM browser to find some files/folder to completely erase from the backups ?
Thanks....Thank you Barry for such a detailed way to ask.
This will help a lot (once again...) for future enhancements and improvements!
_How did you handle your disk full condition ?_
No problem.
_Were you informed of oldest backups being deleted before or after they were actually deleted by TM ?_
Before. I could choose between this or switching to another volume.
_Did you restart TM backups on the same Volume ?_
Firstly tried this. It worked.
_Did you switch TM to backups to another Volume ?_
Then I chose this. It works too.
_Did you attempt to copy the TM backups from the full Volume to another larger Volume ?_
No. I wish this was feasible from within TM preferences, so waiting for a new feature, rather than tinkering with hidden files will be my choice. Until then, this drive is "not available".
_Did TM backup behave sensibly or did it cause severe issues...?_
Sensibly I guess. I just don't care whether TM is done, I just sleep my Mac when it's time and all is well so far.
_If it failed and you saw the red "Failed" and the "i" icon (...) did the extra informative information help you (...) ?_
No. I was just testing a volume that I knew already was too small. Seemed to me it just reacted the correct way, quite late/slowly though.
_If extra information was displayed for the failure did you fully understand the various options provide to you ?_
I guess not because I don't remember it, as when usually I can not learn anything useful from it.
_Did you simply give up and stop running TM backups ?_
TM works fine here. No reason to give up (but I'm waiting for future enhancements for sure).
_Did you go into the TM backup folder and delete some of the backups and if so, how did you decide which ones to delete ?_
No, I didn't. I would like this to be handled from within some feature or command in the Preference pane. I don't dare to mess with some special indexing or such smart thing TM does.
_Did you use the TM browser to find some files/folder to completely erase from the backups ?_
I don't know how to do that.

Experiences from customer who have converted from MDMP to Unicode
I would be interested in seeing a weblog or article from a customer who has gone through the conversion from MDMP to Unicode on an R/3 system. I would be interested in how the process went, what kind of problems were encountered, how long it took, how many of your custom ABAP programs needed changes, etc.
Thomas,
I am also interested in contacting any companies that have migrated to Unicode (with or without MDMP). ChevronTexaco is planning a very large global project that will likely involve migrating to Unicode in the next few years. Anyone who is willing to chat,please feel free to contact me at [email protected], 925-842-0864.
I suspect there are a lot of us who are going to be heading down this road in the next few years and we all want to learn from those who have blazed the trail before us. -

Hello otechcomputing. is this how you want to setup your network?
If so, Guest Networks cannot be " extended" since it has Website Authentication encryption which the RE1000 does not support. Here are my suggestions:
1. Main Network WiFi password should be WPA2 Personal (more secured)
2. Enable Guest Access (password protected)
3. Reconfigure the RE1000 to connect to the EA6500 (main network) and change the extender's network name and password (still WPA2 Personal). You can name it with "EXT" at the end to designate it as such. -
Per Adobe website, a download for Acrobat 9 for Mac is "not available." What alternative does Adobe offer to those who have bought and paid for Acrobat and now have computers without optical drive to install that previously purchased software? Buy a PC? Buy an external CD drive? Is the answer really "too bad"?
Acrobat 9 for Mac can be downloaded from

For those who have problems RE: My iPhone 4 connecting to my pc shows my friends name in the DIGITAL camera Drive..It dsiplays my correct name when I`m on iTunes..PLEASE HELP ME HOW DO I CHANGE THE NAME IN THE DIGITAL CAMERA DRIVE??
SOLUTION:
Iam pointing t0 windows7 os.
1) go to control panel
2) open hardware and sound
3) In that open Devices and printers
4)In that u can find Apple Iphone.
5) now right click on this --> Hardware --> Properties --> General --> Uninstall --> ok.
6) now unplug and plug in ur iphone again.There u go u iphone name changes to its original name.I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. -
I upgraded to OS8 for my Iphone 5 and now I have no access to e-mail and several apps. How can I address this problem? For those who have an iphone 5 I recommend not upgrading to the new OS until these bugs are resolved.
I foolishly downloaded OS8 on my iPhone 4S. It not only greyed out my wifi button making it impossiblr to use wifi, but bluetooth connection doesn't work either. I reset the phone to factory settings but that did nothing apart from loose all my photos and contacts. OS 8 was still on after too. Apple say it is a problem but the download only brought the fact the hardware was faulty to the fore, but not being under warranty , the repair would cost £166 that I would have to pay. Totally unacceptable. If the problem was known and they knew it would cause problems on older models, why have it bob up on iTUNES for download.
Don;t download it guys, APPLE aren't admitting culpability and it will cost you a fortune to put right!!
