Switching out HD and have some questions

I Have two different issues here.
I am installing a 500Gb Seagate in my G5 which currently has a 160 Gb and a 200Gb in the two bays.
The system is running on the 160Gb HD with a clone on the 200Gb.
I have an external LaCie D2 500 Gb HD which I intend on using as my backup for the G5.
I have a G4 TiBook running 10.3.9 with a 120 Gb HD.
I intend on cloning its HD to the remaining HD in my G5.
My logistical issue is in cloning, which I have done numerous times, but not with this setup.
As I bought this tower with Leopard installed, I have no system disc.
This is my theory and I ask to know where the holes are as well as any tips to accomplish this.
Can I connect my TiBook running 10.3.9 through FW and boot my 10.5 G5 in Target Mode then use Superduper on G4 to clone from G5 system HD disc to the new drive?
Another issue is cloning the TiBook HD to the 2nd bay drive.
Should the Tibook fail, (I do have system disc for this one) would I just to Target mode on it and copy the clone?
I hope I was clear and appreciate any comments.
Thanks!

Ok, I thing that I can hit command "Q" to make it stop.
But here is another question: I have a movie that is 230 seconds. It will be on the first slide of the presentation. This is what I want to happen:
• The movie starts when I click and plays for 230 seconds.
• Line of copy #1 appears at 220 seconds.
• Line of copy #2 appears at 230 seconds.
• The movie and both lines of copy dissolve at next click.
• Line #3 of copy appears when these dissolve.
• A click takes my to the second slide.

I am trying out Keynote and have some questions.

I loaded Keynote this afternoon on the 30day trial. I am a retired commercial artist and have been using a Mac since the Mac II came out with a color screen. A 20 MB hard drive and I think it ran at a blazing 8 MHz or something like that. I have worked with teenagers in churches for over 45 years. I took the job as youth leader in a small mission church about 3 months ago. On a good day will have 7 kids. However, we are growing and hope to have many more.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a new 17" MBP and I have bought a 32" TV for my classroom. You can see a picture at this link:
http://www.waskomtexas.com/NCBC/youth/index.html
I have had the system in the classroom for about two weeks, the kids are responding to it very well. My goal is to teach, not dazzle them with technology. Most of them know more about technology than I do anyway. I am using DreamWeaver to prepare some of the lessons. This is a total experiment. The first lesson that I have prepared is here:
http://www.waskomtexas.com/NCBC/youth/Biblestudies/baptistbelieve/godhead/godhead.html
My first question is the default size is 800 x 600, but I want to use 1280 x 720. When I change the size nothing seems to happen. Also the themes all seem to be for 800 x 600. Can I make the bigger?

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here and have some questions.

Hi my name is Gary and I am a newbie to Flash player and what it is I can do and not do with it. Actually, I have some time on my hands since I got layed off and I haven't a clue what I am doing and could use some help getting started.
My OS is Windows XP Home SP3, 32 bit I believe.
Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18702 not sure what bit version but I'm thinking 32 but.
Not exactly sure what else I would need to tell you info wise, so please feel free to ask and how I can find this info out.
My main questions are, am I able, is it possible or even allowed to download .FLV files to my hard drive and how do I do it to view at a later time? I can go into details at a later time.
I have read a lot of info and have even downloaded a few .exe files, like FLASH SAVING PLUG-IN for IE8, thinking I was going in the right direction but seems to me nothing is working like I thought it would. I have the button on my toolbar but when I try to save a file things just disapper and I don't know why.
Please HELP!
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guys...are these not answerable questions or is the right person to help me not seeing my post yet? Just curious.
I have been up most of the night reading many, many post but haven't yet stumbled on anything that can help with my questions.
How about if I start with this question.
Can anyone recommend a program I can download to download .flv and .swf files to my hard drive?
Thanks

Upgrading from Final Cut Express and have some questions

Hi All,
I just ordered Final Cut Studio, but I am working on a project in FCE right now and I'm wondering if I can just continue it with FCP, or would there be problems with that? I'm too advanced on the video part to just redo it, but I have barely started on the audio part so that one I could start over.
Also, I'm hoping the software will come with a printed manual, but I'm not holding my breath since the price has recently gone down... in that case, is there a good book on Final Cut Studio that explains how to use the different elements?
Thanks in advance for any hints.

I MAY HAVE BEEN TOO HASTY IN MY DISMISSAL OF THE FCP 7 "BOOKLET"!
Last night I had another look at the FCP 7 booklet and have come to the conclusion it is not as useless as I at first thought.
True, it is very basic and only deals with FCP7 BUT it is surprising how many of the "basics" I have forgotten or never knew.
After 5 years with the app and having developed my own techniques and (bad) habits, I tend to think I know more about the app than I actually do!
The booklet is really a mini-tutorial and comes with a very small amount of media you can work with, including a small section on sound editing, which you may or may not already know.
As mentioned above, it only covers FCP 7, but (depending on your existing level of expertise) I think you may find it a useful read on your train journey to work.
The booklet, "FCP 7 . . . . . Exploring Final Cut Pro", together with sample video files, can also be downloaded as a PDF from here:-
http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/
Comprehensive PDF manuals for all the apps can be downloaded as well.

I am going to buy a new external hard drive and have some questions first

Although I asked this question several years ago, I would like to ask it again, just if in case technology in general or external hard drives in particular have changed in any significant ways.
I need to replace a 1 terabyte LaCie external hard drive that died on me after a few years.
1. I am afraid of buying another LaCie. What other brands are reliable? I heard that Western Digital is. Also another brand beginnibg with S (so helpful, I know).
2. Do I have to look for a drive that is MAC FORMATTED? I vaguely recall this term from years ago. I also remember another term that I was to look out for, but I don't remember what it was. Something like ”chronicled“ but obviously not that.
3. Should I get more than 1 terabyte? Right now I have an old, old 125 gigabyte LaCie that still lives, but it is so small that it is almost nothing
4. What do you think about buying external hard drives fron Costco as opposed to from the Apple Store?
~L

Ziatron, you wrote ”All you do is open the enclosure and the hard drive plugs in. (done.)“ What enclosure?
This is the enclosure I like, it needs a hard drive to work : http://www.cooldrives.com/ox93saiihadr.html
But there are many others.
looking at my two dead laCie ext. hard drives and they don't have ”enclosures.“ Just holes in the back to receive the cables.
A hard drive enclosure is a box or case the actual hard drive goes into. Look at the images in the link above. You can see what is inside.
This hard drive goes inside the above cool drive enclosure: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Intellipower-Desktop-WD20EADS/dp/B001RB1TI S/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1258862242&sr=8-1
You recommended getting a hard drive with a Firewire connection, but most of the hard drives have USB.
Well maybe, the better drives are Firewire.
Should that matter to me?
Yes, Firewire is "isochronous", basically meaning that you can pump "clocked" data though it in real time. USB works more like TCPIP, with the data chopped up into packets and later reassembled. (Thus, at a minimum, you have latency, that is, the wait for the data to be "put back together".) Second, the Firewire protocol allows more direct address to memory (including mass storage) with minimal intervention of the CPU.
Is USB a whole lot slower than Firewire if I am transferring materials?
Firewire is faster and _more reliable._
Take a look at the link below, "Build Your Own External Hard Drive". The enclosure I like is easier to use.
http://www.harmony-central.com/articles/tips/hard_drive/
http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/ss/externalhdcase.htm
Also you need a Mac Pro to use eSATA, with a iMac use the Firewire port.

New to Iweb and have some questions

Hello,
I am attempting to build a website for the first time using Iweb 3.0.2. The first 3 pages of the site were built and uploaded using Iweb. There were some issues that my father-in-law corrected using a html editor on his PC. After making the changes he then uploaded the changes to the site. I am trying to now figure out if there is a way to download the current website back to my Iweb so I can continue to build the website.

No, you can't import the published pages back into iWeb.
Each time you republish with iWeb it will over write the changes your father-in-law made to the code.
You could make a copy of the published code with a free program such as TextWrangler and paste the code you want retained back in to the particular html page after you republish with iWeb. However, this ends up very time consuming, it would be better to get it right in iWeb so that you don't spend so much time with post publishing edits.

I'm going to Europe in a week and have some questions about charging my computer.

I'm going to Europe in a week. I know there is a built in power thing or something but do I have to change a setting on my computer or will it adjust automatically? And what kind of converter do I need to charge it/plug it in? Will the same one work for Prague, Paris, and London? I've tried doing some research but I just don't understand what I'm reading about different v and what kind to get. I found several adaptor things at the store but have no idea what does what or which one I need.
Also, how do I charge my ipod? Can the same charger work or do I need a separate one?
Thanks!

The World Traveller Kit is way overkill for this. All you really need is a plug adapter for the area you are going - most of Europe uses the same plug shape. You can get a plug adapter at most hardware or electronics stores for a few dollars. I travelled to Holland, Norway and Israel last year and used such a plug adapter with my MacBook Pro.
Best of luck.
Sure, but the USB adapter is not universal. So when he buy the adapter for $29 from Apple, and $5 for the adapter you can buy the travler kit for just $5 more and get a) more adapters b) the USB cable c) the adapters could be attached directly to the supper supply's. But sure, you can get a simple adapter like that one.

Hi, I'm considering acquiring CC for Teams for my org and have some questions:

1. Is it basically a network/floating license? does it provide concurrent use (not named-user)? If not, what is the difference?
2. Does creative cloud for teams allow max concurrent use? is there a limit on number of users who participate other than the number of seats I buy?
Thanks

Thank you, that definitely suggests that it isn't actually doing anything useful!
I switched it off, cleared the PRAM and re-formatted the drive unencrypted (I found the option, it was in the dropdown for filesystem).
That appears to have been the issue, as the download and install immediately identified the disc name, which it wasn't doing before. Guess it was having an issue with my encrypted drive. I guess it's handy I'm not a secret agent or an political dissident I shall run unencrypted...

I have some question on "Use LabVIEW to Control two DSP and RTDX"

I have some question when writing LabVIEW. I have DSP6711 and DSP6416, I use RTDX to send data to LabVIEW.
I write three programes for LabVIEW, one is RTDX for DSP6711, another is RTDX for DSP6416, and the final is RTDX for two DSPs.
The program of LabVIEW is workable when doing DSP6711 or doing DSP6416. But there is some problem when running DSP6711 and DSP6416 on LabVIEW at the same time.
How to tell the LabVIEW's tool of " RTDX read" to get the datas from different DSP

What you want to do should be fairly straightward and a good way to learn labview.
First off, if you haven't already, I would download the drivers for the Keithley and Agilent instruments. I found the keithley drivers at the link below. You will need to find the labview drivers for the Agilent PS at their website. Drivers are the VI's you will use in your program to control the insturments.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E90B0659CE034080020E74861
If you open Labview and go to the help menu and click on Labview bookshelf there is alot of information on getting you started coding labview. This should get you started, if you have anymore questions just ask in this same thread and I am sure you will get all the help you need.

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Just installed Arch again on my laptop, have some questions

Hi there.
After a few months of being linux-less, i decided to install it again (I corrupted my partition last time and have been too lazy to fix it =P). I'm also currently using KDEmod, which is great.
However, I have some questions.
1) It doesn't seem that the sound settings are being saved when I log out of KDE. It's always at 100%, and I always have to turn it down.
2) I have this little cell-phone looking icon in the systray, and when i mouse over it it tell me:
Network Management is changing!
it is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until further notice, please use KDE 4 knetworkmanager instead
Well, I looked an I've already got knetworkmanager installed:
yaourt -Ss knetworkmanager
kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4 1030904-1 [installed] (kdemod kdemod-complete kdemod-networkmanagement kdemod-uninstall)
KNetworkManager for KDE4
kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4-debug 1030904-1 (kdemod-debug kdemod-networkmanagement-debug kdemod-uninstall)
KNetworkManager for KDE4 (Debugging Symbols)
aur/knetworkmanager 0.2.2-4 (71)
A NetworkManager front-end for kde3 and kde4, based in version 0.2.2 stable
aur/knetworkmanager-unstable 737532-1 (Out of Date) (6)
A NetworkManager front-end for KDE
I remember when i had Arch before that I used ArchAssistant to manage my wired/wireless connections. Is that still around? Can anyone recommend anything else, cause I also remember getting ArchAssistant to work was a hell of a project.
3) When I first logged in, the Akonadi Server Self-report popped up. I rememebr this from before, and could never get it to work (I really don't even know what Akonadi is, tbh). It says that the control and server process is not register to D-Bus. How can I fix this? Would I have to start and configure the MySQL daemon?
Thanks for any help!

For the first one, set the volume to your desired startup level, open a terminal window and run "sudo aslactl store"
Then in your startup daemons add @alsa. That will restore your volume settings on boot, not sure about just logging in and out of KDE though. (I don't run KDE)
