Mac Pro OS X 10.8.3/Ricoh Aficio MP C2500/Share_Scan_Folder Help...

Hello aIl
I'm giving an small project from a small firm using cloud service for their small business to setup a Ricoh Aficio MP C2500 printer (Scan-to-folder only/shared) within their Network of 5 to 8 user, I only have 24 hours for a solutions due the fact that the first IT Support guy couldn't make the configuration to setup a scan fold to folder/shared.
The Printer is already in place and working just fine but not scanning and here is where I take over.
Here's my research base of the actual device...
Ricoh Aficio MP C2500
Aficio MP C2000/C2500/C3000

John,
A day after my post, I spend two hours in two day troubleshooting the Ricoh MP C2500 Scanner setup configuration by email client and also I tested a shared folder that I setup in one specific user but that didn't work out either.
The project is for a startup bussines with 5 user Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.8.3, No Server at all because they are using cloud service https://www.sugarsync.com/business/ I have done an instensively research even called Ricoh support but cant provide me any help with out a contract service. at point another Richo support sugested to check the Firmware that is (Specical Custom Firmware) for Mac OS X 10.8.3 here http://support.ricoh.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/re/model/mpc25/mpc25en.htm#Mac OS X 10.8 and I haven't perform this task due to the fact I'm not familiar after installation.
Here I have the Ricoh Aficio MP C2500 Scann To email White Paper PDF http://www.tsrc.ricoh-usa.com/pwhp/Scan_to_E-mail.pdf configuration but it doesn't work for the Mac OS X 10.8.3
Here I have some screenshot from the PDF but it does not detect my shared folder in the network.
One setup configuration I did is setting up the path manually as fallow \\administrator\user\scanner this normally will work on a Windows and now I have to modify to \\192.168.X.X\user\scanner in the MFP Configuration at the
Operation Panel.
A second method is to setup a USB driver to the Router Network as a Network driver (Scanner) shared folder if the router has that option and perform the same test at the Operation Panel again and that might work and before I do this I have to make sure I can ping the printer IP by lunching Terminal...

Hi All, Mac Pro 2008 will not start after shutdown straight from sleep! Help!

WILL A NEW LOGIC BOARD SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
My early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8, 8-core 22 gigs ram) was shutting down from sleep both when I activated it, and then later by itself. Recently it refused to turn on, shuts down after about 3 seconds, light goes off, fans stop.
Took it in and they replaced the GPU card and PSU. Things were great ... for two weeks. Then suddenly the same symptoms, but at an accelerated rate of occurance. After a day, it did not power on at all save the three seconds of startup fans.
Took it in again. They AGAIN replace the known-faulty ATI Radeon HD2600 XT cards (two), the ones Apple have agreed to replace up to July 2011.
Well got the machine back and she worked like a charm... for two weeks. Same thing now. By the way all checks of hardware, ram, disk drives - extensively have come up OK.
Does anyone have any advice, or have the same problem?
If it is the logic board, is it worth it to replace or when things go south like this is it better to cut your losses as more and more will likely go wrong?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Many thanks

We can't help with your question. How would we know what has gone wrong with your hardware? We don't have access to your machine.
I would take it back, or send it in, to Apple Repair.
I hope you have AppleCare!

My Mac Pro 2.8 crashed and will not reboot in Safe Mode - HELP!

Hello
I have a Mac Pro 2.8 and it froze up on me; I held in the power button to shut it down. Upon restart, all I get is a flashing foldoer file icon with a question mark.
What gives? It will not start in Safe Mode, via the Shift button OR DOS command (sudo nvram boot-args="-x")
1. How do I get it back up? I have a back up on my external hard drive, but it doesn't recognize it?
2. Are all my current files gone?
Thanks for your help

A flashing question mark on boot can mean several things. One, your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from or the startup disk is failing or failed.
Since you don't have the install discs now, it may take some time to order and receive them from Apple. Probably time to take the Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair shop. They can tell you for certain whether or not the disk has failed.
Since holding down the Option key that prompts the Startup Manager window didn't work, not does your external drive recognized your Mac, I'm afraid without a backup to restore those files from, you may be out of luck.
can I get a new one from mac, and will it erase all my files?
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

I hear a sound like clock pendulum inside my mac pro, not a time related, everything else looks great, could anybody help please?

Hi all, i am hearing a sound inside my Mac Pro over 2 months before, on both power and battery, not a time specific, i hear a "tictac" sound like Wall Clock Pendulum, beneath the keyboard, i can feel it my hand while typing, it is very clear, could anybody of help please?

Start your MBP with the StartupManager:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
You should see two HDD icons. Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility,
Select Disk Utility>First Aid, and run Verify and then Repair.
This should tell you if there are any issues with the HDD.
Do backup your data if you value it.
Ciao.

Mac Pro 1,1 keeps going to "restart" screen... HELP?!?

Just bought and downloaded Lion. I had 10.6.8 prior. When it rebooted, it spun for a while and then now gives me a restart your computer screen when I reboot. Anyone have an answer? I need help, please! The machine has dual gpus and 10gigs of ram. It's a 2.66 1,1.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I properly zero out or erase the hard drives in my early 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 tower?

How do I properly zero out or erase the hard drives in my early 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 tower?
I assume there are already instructions on Apple.com someplace but haven't seen them yet… I have to one terabyte drives one the operating system the other is blank I want to start fresh I want to zero out both drives but I didn't want to make any mistakes
I know I can use disk utility to 0 Out Dr., #2 that means I will have to take out the operating system hard drive out of my 2008 Mac Pro and put it into my 2009 Mac Pro to use the disk utility to zero out drive one the OS drive in my 2009 Mac Pro am my correct
I just need a little bit a help I want to go slow so I don't make any mistakes with the sleds or with the erasing process which journaled to choose encrypted or not etc. etc.
Furthermore is there instructions on the site on how to change the hard drive into a different sled because the sleds and my 2009 are different than my 2008 any advice
Thank you

I'm doing this because my friend told me that zeroing out the drive can nap bad sectors and also later for some kind of diagnostics usage of the drive or something like that he wasn't really clear
My friend was really specific he said choose the option that writes zero's once over the drive that is plenty good enough I was inclined to use the maximum seven write ...I just want to make sure the drive has no bad sectors and that's it's it's zeroed out for possible future diagnostics usage or something that he said was usable later
he also advised me to run a test on it but I don't have the software you mentioned or the software that he has… So I may have to take the drives over to his house unless you have some kind of free software that's easy to use that you could suggest that will not only zero out the drive but test the drive completely
I am completely new to Mac I'm no dummy but at the same time I'm not super technically capable I mean I can surprise myself I'm pretty good but I need a good teacher… How expensive is this lifeguard software?
Thank you

I need to furnish a Mac lab, and I thought if I can use a Mac Pro with 12 core, to serve 10 PCs.
Anybody can help me in this issue?
Thanks...

Mac OS X Server does not require a lot of compute power, it requires a lot of high-speed I/O. A separate Boot Drive, multiple data drives (mirrored RAID optional), and Gigabit Ethernet connections to the Workstations.
A Mini bears consideration, but its laptop-type drives may not provide adequate speed if you intend to keep all user files on the Server.
Time Machine can be used to back up the Server drives, and therefore all the User files, automatically from the central location of the Server.
One pleasant side effect of all user files on the Server is that any workstation can go out for service without taking any User files with it. And any User can use any workstation, since their files are instantly available once they connect to the Server.

I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s

I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s. Please can you help? Everytime I try to sync a message pops up "Your iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone."
"To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store, choose Store > Authorize this computer".
Once I have followed instructions as above, this is what I see, "This computer is already authorised". Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your 5 available."
Please can you help?!?!
Thanks.
Best regards.

Hello, Meloni.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

64 bits question for mac pro users

Hi,
I am actually in the process of buying a new Mac Pro and I would like to know if someone here could help me to understand what's going on with the 64 bits mode thing on the mac pro.
I have a mac pro 1,1. Now I am using SL, but ML is out for a while. I use Logic 9 and most of my plugins supports the 64 bits mode, but I am sticked to the 32 bits mode.
First question: Is it right to think that going for 64 bits mode computer now will greatly improve the performances and internal memory management on Logic in 64 bits mode with plugins in 64 bits mode?
Second question: Looking at the wiki page for the mac pro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro#Specifications), I understand that the 5,1 model is fully 64 bits compatible, but what about the 3,1 and 4,1 models? Are they fully 64 bits compatible if they are upgraded to ML? Why is the kernel not 64 bits?
I would like to buy a used mac pro, which would fit better in my budget right now. But, I am looking for better performances and a 64 bits mode of operation, and these are my priorities right now.
Thanks for your time to help me.

Yes. And no.
Use all 8 DIMM slots. Result = 17% boost over not.
Use 667MHz 2GB DIMMs = 4% slower (not noticed real world, Barefeats also).
Yes you can't use 8GB DDR3 etc.
I thnk that the issues wtih ML and Lion, the issue witrh some PCIe cards not working, not being bootable, and that it was the first to try to implement the new EFI and SMC in 3 yrs - are bigger issues.
And the cost of system even now is too high without taking into account: RAM, will I need to upgrade the video card it came with? before I can use it.
Yes. Penny wise and pound foolish over 4 yrs old model now (will turn 5 in February) and was first booted by Intel in November 2007.

Macbook pro versus new Mac pro for editing

Hi there,
I have been using my Macbook pro to edit some video I shot on a Canon 5D MarkII. It can be slow...
I was contemplating getting a Mac Pro and tried to find some good info on speed difference between a Macbook pro and a Mac Pro. Obviously RAM, hard drive space will make a difference but I would like to get a general idea. I love the portability of my Macbook pro but could I dramatically increase speed in editing with a Mac Pro? Any good info or links with good info will help!
Best
Paolo

Are you storing your camera footage on the computer's internal system disk?
That will cause problems right away. Your internal drive has plenty to do running the operating system and applications. Asking it to also jump around reading HD footage is overload.
You should at the very least invest in an external FireWire 800 drive for your footage. Depending on your MBP model, you might also have an Express Card slot. This will enable you to use much faster eSATA drives with the appropriate adapter card.
The advantage of the Pro tower is that you can install up to 4 internal SATA drives (up to 8 with a special kit), PCIe cards, dedicated capture cards etc.

Mac Pro, Fans fire up full speed for no reason - randomly!

So, here is another fan issue with the Mac Pro, and I am at a loss. Perhaps someone can help me with this one. I have a Mac Pro I bought in mid '07, dual 2.66 GHz. I have 2 7300GT video cards, which don't have fans of their own to be making the noise...
The computer, when left doing nothing will ramp up full speed for God knows what reason. There is usually almost nothing open for applications, and no major processes running. Menu Meters shows the processor load to be minimal, not a heavy load that would cause heat-issues from processors working hard.
There is really no way to get the fans to slow back down either. The machine is still fully functional, I can open, close or work on software, so nothing is "frozen". I have quit all applications to no avail. The machine will not go to sleep when this occurs, and half the time will not power off using the shut down menu selection either; requiring a forced shut down. Upon reboot, it is fine... (until it decides once again to take off).
This is not the fans roaring when waking from sleep issue, I have had that one as well (bad ram).
Thoughts?

Last night, after I shut down, my fans slowly ramped up into high gear. They went to full rotation, and I let it whirr for four or five minutes, thinking it would shut itself off. It never did, so I just pulled the plug on the CPU. I plugged it back in five seconds later, and it stayed shut down after that.
It's been working more or less flawlessly other than this... most stable Mac I've ever had.
