Looking for the most econmical way of tying domain name to mobileme iweb

Hi all, I currently have a few sites that are hosted on mobileme, and I used the DynDNS services to 1) register a domain name (15$) and 2) create a webhop (CNAME) from the domain to the mobileme site (30$). So that's 45$ per year per site. Is there a more economical way of doing the same thing (without running my own server)? I have a handful of brochure sites to post, and I am looking to cut costs. Thx!!!

No. Look at GoDaddy and see and I think that you will find that what OT has said is correct.
If you purchase a domain name from them, depending on what ending it is - .com, .co.uk, .net etc, then you just pay for the cost of the registration for one year or two years, which does work out at $7.95 per YEAR depending on the domain name you get and this will be excluding any hosting or e-mail packages. E-mail does cost extra though.
If you just register your domain name, then you can use CNAME forwarding or web forwarding at no extra cost. So none of this adding $29 for the privilege of using CNAME forwarding - GoDaddy does not do this and you get it when you register your domain name.
Once you have the domain name registered, all you do is set up a new CNAME and point the 'www' part of your domain to web.me.com which is your MobileMe host and it will be forwarded to your site.
I use GoDaddy myself and have no problems whatsoever.
If you have one MobileMe account, then you have the option of entering a domain name into the Personal Domain Name settings - you can do this once for every MobileMe account and can then use CNAME forwarding at your domain registrar to forward your domain name to your MobileMe account.
However, you can still publish as many sites as you like to MobileMe, but your url will be http://web.me.com/username/sitename, unless you then use masked or unmasked web forwarding to link your domain name to it if you wish.

I have an Apple Retina Pro Notebook and am looking for the most highly recommended compatible wireless printer. Do you have any recommendations?

I have an Apple Retina Pro Notebook and am looking for the best compatible wireless printer to use with it. Do you have any recommendations?

"WiFi Wireless Printer" seems to give Users the feeling that they somehow print directly from their computer to the Printer. That is NOT how it works.
To make a WiFi Wireless Printer work, you need to make it a participant on your network, by providing the Network_name and the Password. It then becomes a peer of your MacBook on your home Network, and you can create a Print Queue for it in Add-a-Printer.
There is no particular advantage to this over, say, an Ethernet Printer -- except that you don't have a Physical cable to string.

Looking For The Most Incredible Guitar Plugin !

wondering what people are using for guitars. acoustic/ srat/ hollow body etc. kinda like if bfd had a guitar plugin. lots of dynamics ,clean samples with lots of dynamics and can sound like a real guitar if played well on the keys , not looking for loops!!! something i can play. the logic guitars are decent but the next next level. appreciate all feedback.
thanks

I believe there is still a bit of a gap in the market here (suprisingly), but the one I just demo'd was very very good...
Real Guitar (for all things acoustic): http://www.musiclab.com/products/realgtr_info.htm
Real Strat (for electric & there's a Les paul too): http://www.musiclab.com/products/realstrat_info.htm
You can download the demos and I just used the Steel String acoustic on something and it was absolutely excellent (and I'm a very fussy guitarist). Very tempted to buy myself...

Upgrading memory, all internal, not looking for the most expensive route though, suggestions?

250 GB SATA Disk
4GB
^ Installed
I want to upgrade all

You can certainly install a larger HDD - up to 1 TB. You can expand RAM to 8 GBs: Two - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs to replace what you now have.
Visit OWC to find both drives and memory upgrade kits as well as tutorials for replacing.
You can also install their Disk Doubler that lets you replace the optical drive with a second internal drive that can be either a HDD or an SSD.

What is the most reliable way to run one Windows accounting program in Osx 10.5.8?

I have a simple Windows application where I basically do my accounts. I do not want to tie up my Imacs resources with running a full Windows Os "emulation" like Paralells or VMware Fusion just to run a simple accounting program.
I have heard about apps that can run one windows application at the time through a kind of Osx Application which emulates windows some how. Is is true that this is a better way of running my accounting program? Is it reliable? What I do is to punch in invoices and print out reports basically. How much resources does this "consume" to run it in "one simple application mode" in comparison with for example Paralells?
And what is the term for running windows in "one simple application mode"?

I guess you could try the free trial of CrossOver. http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/ You did not say what app you want to run so it is difficult for us to recommend crossover as being able to run the app.
But your question is that you are looking for the "most reliable" way to run a Windows program. In my opinion you need Parallels or Fusion. These run the real Windows OS so my thinking is it is the "most reliable" method of running a Windows app on an Apple computer, other than Boot Camp.
But you said you don't want Parallels. This is probably why you have not received any responses. You eliminated the most reliable and easiest method, in my opinion, when you initially posted. Parallels does not consume any resources until you start it up to use your app. You can close it after you are done with your app. Of course hard drive space is required for storing the OS, your app, and data. But you still need to store your app and data regardless of method you choose.
One more thing, Parallels and Fusion create a virtual machine for running Windows.
So my recommendation, use Parallels or Fusion.

The most compatible way of offering short movies on a website?

Hi everyone,
I am working on a website which offers links to short movies
which the admin has uploaded. they are in mwv/mpg/avi format. I am
using this object method, I can see them on my systems, but the
client cannot make it to work on their systems. I am looking for
the most compatible way of linking and displaying short movies on
the site. work with PC and mac.
this is my current method that apparently is not fully
compatible:
<cfoutput><embed src="Media/#MediaParam#"
width="408" height="354" autostart="1"
showstatusbar=1></embed></cfoutput>
any help is appreciated in advance..

can the data go from the drive direct to the ATV2?
no.
iTunes must be running to fetch and serve the content to ATV.
I ask as its far easier to connect a ATV2 and a Network drive via cat5, however itd be nice to not have to plug a mac in as well.
if your wireless network is n-capable and doesn't suffer interference problems, that scenario might work.
Possible try to get a older ATV?
good luck with that they are hard to come by. try eBay or something.

The most efficient way to search a large String

Hi All,
2 Quick Questions
QUESTION 1:
I have about 50 String keywords -- I would like to use to search a big String object (between 300-3000 characters)
Is the most efficient way to search it for my keywords like this ?
if(myBigString.indexOf("string1")!=1 || myBigString.indexOf("string2")!=1 || myBigString.indexOf("string1")!=1 and so on for 50 strings.)
System.out.println("it was found");
QUESTION 2:
Can someone help me out with a regular expression search of phone number in the format NNN-NNN-NNNN
I would like it to return all instances of that pattern found on the page .
I have done regular expressions, in javascript in vbscript but I have never done regular expressions in java.
Thanks

Answer 2:
If you have the option of using Java 1.4, have a look at the new regular expressions library... whose package name I forget :-/ There have been articles published on it, both at JavaWorld and IBM's developerWorks.
If you can't use Java 1.4, have a look at the jakarta regular expression projects, of which I think there are two (ORO and Perl-like, off the top of my head)
http://jakarta.apache.org/
Answer 1:
If you have n search terms, and are searching through a string of length l (the haystack, as in looking for a needle in a haystack), then searching for each term in turn will take time O(n*l). In particular, it will take longer the more terms you add (in a linear fashion, assuming the haystack stays the same length)
If this is sufficient, then do it! The simplest solution is (almost) always the easiest to maintain.
An alternative is to create a finite state machine that defines the search terms (Or multiple parallel finite state machines would probably be easier). You can then loop over the haystack string a single time to find every search term at once. Such an algorithm will take O(n*k) time to construct the finite state information (given an average search term length of k), and then O(l) for the search. For a large number of search terms, or a very large search string, this method will be faster than the naive method.
One example of a state-search for strings is the Boyer-Moore algorithm.

Looking for the least intrusive / thinnest bumper...

I'm looking for a super thin bumper for the iphone 4s. I really hate cases and don't want much modification to the phone. I like it how it is but would like to keep the edges protected. I want the most minimally intrusive possible. Thanks.

I realize that you're looking for a no-frills way out but I've worked with both the Mbox Mini and the Apogee Duet so depending upon what you're doing now or in the future, I'd highly recommend dropping some extra dough on those two.

What is the most efficient way to run internet explorer on a mac?

I have to use I.E. for school along with Outlook. I run windows for mac and am looking for the cheapest and least invasive way to do so.

CSS731 wrote:
Specifically I cannot attach files such as students grades or send requests to our photocopy center. I works great on a pc but won't work on a mac. Most at my institution thumb their noses at macs and I have been told directly they will not support mac or OSX. I have tried using firefox but have been told by my colleagues that IE is the only browser that works.
What you are running into is unfortunately rather common in business, education, and government. What happened is that your school computerized their operations in the late 1990s to early 2000s, when Internet Explorer on Windows XP was the most common web browser. Websites were coded to take advantage of technologies that are unique to IE. Once all these institutions and businesses finished their work, they thought they were done and they moved on.
But in the time since then, the world changed around them. The Web moved towards "standards compliance," which means writing web sites for the CSS3 and HTML5 standards. Not for old Microsoft-only Internet Explorer features. If a web site is standards compliant, it will work on any browser that is also standards compliant. That would include every popular browser today: Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. (As well as the latest Internet Explorer for Windows, which is much better than it used to be.)
Standards compliance was a wonderful revolution, because it meant we could use any browser. It also paved the way for the iOS and Android mobile device boom, since they need to use mobile web browsers and those are not Internet Explorer.
The big problem is that your institution, like many others in education, business, and government, either doesn't want to upgrade their systems or doesn't have the budget. The system they built in 1996 or 2002 is being maintained, but it isn't being modernized. Therefore, it is not standards compliant. That's why it doesn't work with Firefox or Safari.
I am sure that both you and they have noticed that they have fallen behind, because it's very easy to show this. If you go to any modern web site...Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo, Dropbox, every photo sharing site, every web forum, etc. it is extremely easy to upload attachments no matter what web browser you use.
Of course, they'll get very defensive if you try to tell them that their systems are totally out of date and any browser should be able to upload attachments. Even if that's true, they may not be able to overhaul their systems any time soon. Maybe they would like to, but they can't get the funding. The problem for them is that more and more devices are being used on their network which don't have Internet Explorer, like Macs, phones, and tablets, and it's revealing the limitations of their system.
That's the situation. It won't be easy to fix because it requires that the school's systems be modernized. But they really need to be modernized, because as we saw, attachments are no problem on multiple browsers on all the other web sites we use every day.
If they could update their systems, the benefits would be significant. If their web site became standards compliant, it would automatically support smartphones, tablets, and Mac web browsers with probably very little extra work.

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.

If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

Migration Assistant on MB Pro never stops looking for the PB G4 with Panthe

Hi,
I bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch to add to my PB G4 12 inch running OS X 10.3.9. When I selected migrate data from another Mac and tried to follow the instructions for migrating over airport it doesn't work.
I installed the update for airport sharing from the MBP's dvd and the old PB connects to the MBP but the MBP never stops "looking for computers".
I've also tried connecting through my router's network and with an ethernet cable.
I don't yet have a cable that can do Firewire 800 to Firewire 400. (I never realized the ports were different )
I tried turning off the firewall on the PB G4, turning on Appletalk on both Macs. Some articles talk about turning on Bonjour (can't find that on the new Mac and on the old one I think it's called rendezvous for iChat.)
I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554?viewlocale=en_US#faq13
and this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3253
and this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
But I'm lost for trying to make this work before my new Firewire cable is delivered.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I think you may have missed the ads see this page http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/family/macbookpro?mco=NzUyMzg0
I make a habit of missing ads by not watching TV, not readng the newspaper, listening to NPR and using AdBlocker in Firefox. However, thanks for updating my information. I use Mactracker for info, but apparently they have not yet updated their data.
at this point I can't get either computer to even recognize the other one even when both are connected to each other by airport computer to computer network or through the router. I don't know if they're seeing each other when directly connected by ethernet.
Are you using FileSharing in System Preferences? I don't do much networking so I may not be up on the technology, but when I have used it I set up FileSharing on both computers.
I loathe having to reset all my internet connections and I was hoping to avoid having to do the manual drag and copy
I was advised, when I was in your situation, that Migration Assistant is not the most effective way to update the new computer. Take a look at the advice I got in this thread.
Sorry about the firewire cable. I have several laying around here, wish I could link on to this post

Problem with my program looking for the settings file in the wrong folder

I have been writing a simple FTP file uploader, what I want to do is be able to select the files I want to upload in windows explorer and then right click and click the menu item and it launches the program and passes the files paths that I have selected to it.
So I use this in the windows registry "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\java.exe -jar D:\BenFTP\BenFTP.jar %1"
It launches fine and has no problem finding the files I want to upload. The problem is that it tries to look for the settings file in the same folder that the file I am try to upload is in. Which it's not suppose to do since the settings file is in the same folder that the .jar is in.
Edited by: ColNewman on Feb 5, 2008 6:55 PM

So, you're looking for your settings file in your current working directory. There's no way to set the CWD in your registry entry (is there?) so that isn't a practical thing to do. Presumably you're using a File object or a FileReader or something? Can't do that.
One alternative is to look for the settings file in the classpath. You can get a URL to a file in the classpath like this:URL settings = this.getClass().getResource("/settings.xml");Or you can get an InputStream to read the file by using the getResourceAsStream method. You would have to make sure that your executable jar file contained a Class-Path entry that specified the right directory, because the directory the jar is contained in isn't automatically in an executable jar's classpath.
Another alternative is to ask the user where the settings file is supposed to be, and put an entry in the Preferences (java.util.prefs) to remember that location.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
