Possible to use external HD with 2 machines?

Aloha all, I have been using an external HD with my MacBook to store librarys for iPhoto, & Aperture. It has worked great, but today I hit a snag. I cannot get the drive to show up when I plug it into my G5. I would like to be able to use it with both.

Do you have a LAN that you can connect the two Macs to? If so then log into the MacBook from the G5 and select the external HD. That will let you access any of the libraries on the external HD. Just be sure to set the ownership of the external HD to be ignored as seen here.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

Computer support for that type of equipment is completely up to the company making/selling the embroidery software, not the computer builder. A Mac likely could support any such device BUT the device makers must choose to include Mac software versions. Many specialty software developers are about 15 yeas in the past and thing no one uses Macs, or they are doing the project on a shoestring budget and would have to hire someone on the outside to port the program to Mac.
As that function is likely of very narrow interest around here, I think you would do better to visit some of the embroidery sites and see if they mention products with known Mac support.
Otherwise you will have to find the sites for every embroidery machine maker to look for mention of Mac support.

Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

Hello,
our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AEV

Dear AEV,
I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
Best regards
Rene

Using external drives with OS X Server

Is it possible to use external firewire hard drives the same way that I would use an internal. I am asking this because we have 3 of them with 250Gb each. I would use them to increase the storage of a server, which would lower the cost of one and make it much more possible to buy. The drives wouldn't be removed and I would like to be able to apply security settings to control access to them. They can be easily formatted with the approperiate OS X file system.

It wasn't that I thought I couldn't use them I just need to know if I can put a user's home directory on there and have users save to them across the network. Can I in fact do this. A couple of people I have talked to about doing this had mixed thought so I figured I'd throw to you guys.

Is it possible to use External Defiantion in Interface Mapping?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use External defination in Interface mapping? I used this ED in Message Mapping but I am unable to use the same ED for Interface Mapping?
In order to create Interface Mapping I need to create Message Interface and use it in Interface Mappiong?
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
External definitions is for importing avaliable external DTD,XSD or WSDLs instead of creating them in XI environment maually by creating elements under datatypes,assigning them too Message types and Message Interfaces etc.Where as you fo for Imported Archives to import externally done Mapping programs like JAVA,ABAP and XSLT mappings but not define Mesage interfaces.
So you can create message interface import appropriate External definition into it.Later use it during interface mapping.Hope you understand it.
Thanks,
Ram.

Using external libraries with Developer Studio 7.1 Composition Environment

Hi,
I downloaded DS 7.1 CE and tried to develop a simple application which uses an external library.
I created a development component for "external library" for the local development -> MyComponent, giving it the name "test2" (for the domain basis).
I imported the external library file using Import -> File System , then selecting the .jar file.
In the component properties browser I added a public part naming it "mylib2" setting the purpose to "ASSEMBLY" (my intention was that the libarry will be transferred during the deployment to the application server).
I right clicked on the public part to "managed entities". I selected the archive tree and checked the library file shown there (the one I imported before). #
Then I opended component properties of my web dynpro project and clicked on "Dependencies". The I chose "Add..." and selected the "test2" development component I created before (see above).
Then I tried to deploy the project (which uses this external library) using "Deploy Archive and Run"
After deployment the browser window opens and shows the ClassNotFoundException
So what did I oversee or do wrong?
BTW: Is it necessary for using external libraries to use a full fletched NWDI? Or can I use external libs also with netweaver development environments freely available for download on sdn.sap.com?
Any hints?
Thanks a lot
Hannes

Hannes,
If you want to use external libraries with DCs then you should follow the NWDI completely.
Check this step, otheways of using external libraries is mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/de813e77d46245e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here.</a>

Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?

Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?
Using either Speech, AppleScript, Automator or a 3rd party app
like iListen, can I enable Final Cut Studio apps to respond
to voice commands?
(e.g. I say "I" in Final Cut Pro and it sets an in point)
thanks

Yes, I wish "Make it really good" and "Fix my rough cut"

I did hear from the folks at iListen that
they are planning on releasing a ScriptPak
for Final Cut Studio next year which could be
cool
and that yes, iListen has some capability to
integrate Speech Recognition with Final Cut,
guess I need to give it a try for a test ride

The following is the basic procedure to extend one 802.11n AirPort with another:
AEBSn - Extending a wireless network Setup
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver

IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver,, or just use the insturment driver...
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
NI-VISA is a driver layer that is used to communicate to Serial, GPIB, VXI and PXI platform.
In reality the drivers that you use with Lookot do not make use of this driver layer called VISA (which is used for the most part in the instrument control area).
Normally the terminology (Instrument Driver) is not used in Lookout (or in any SCADA system). So the answer for your question is no, you cannot use NI-VISA with Lookout, with Lookout you either use the drivers object that comes with the package or you use an OPC server (normaly provided by the hardware manufacturer, this hardware is normally a PLC) to provide data to Lookout.
I hope it helps

Hi,
The Blurb
The * items message that is at the bottom
*FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a mobile network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPad (3rd generation) with mobile data capability. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.

It is not specifically saying it is 4G only phones.
It is not saying it is 3G either.
It is not listing an iPhone 4 (only the 4S)
It seems whether 3G can or cannot or if the iPhone can do 4G and it is available it seems that particular model will not.

Is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

I wanted an extended desktop using 2 monitors.
I am using a Dell Ultrasharp ( has 1 VGA and 1 DVI-D) and a LG W2286 (has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI-D and 1 VGA)
I ran into a similar issue where initially the mac would not detect the 2 displays and I thought I would share my solution. I have a Mac Mini 10.8.2 i7 Late 2012.
I bought a "Cable Matters" brand Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt to DVI Male Cable to have dual monitors.
I am also using the included in the box HDMI to DVI-D Adapter from Apple.
Initial configuration was:
Mini-Display (Thunderbolt connector) to DVI connected to the LG DVI-D input.
Apple HDMI to DVI Dongle connected to the Dell DVI-D input.
What happened was that my desktop was on the LG clear as day but OSX did not see the dell monitor.
I called apple support and they could not figure out why the mini cant see the dell monitor. I think I discovered that the mac mini could not support 2 dvi monitors.
I switched the monitor connections.
The connections that works:
HDMI out to HDMI in on the LG using a standard HDMI cable.
Display port | Thunderport to DVI-D on the Dell's DVI-D in.
