4.1 setup for x

I have had my X-Fi Extreme Music for a few days and I am very pleased with the improvement over my Audigy, particularly the much lower noise levels.
I am running the card with analog out to two pairs of speakers powered with one stereo amplifier each and a self powered subwoofer.
In the THX speaker setup I can either choose 5. and get sound from all speakers, but with a center channel which I don't have, or I can chose 4.0/4., but then I only get 4.0, e.g. no subwoofer.
Since it says 4.0/4. I suppose it is possible to specify a 4. setup, but how do I do this?

I just ran into this little problem myself. Selecting 4. in the Creative control panel with an xfi card gives you NO SUB OUT, even if you have a dedicated sub. Select 5. in the Creative control panel and guess what--you get sub out! Great! Too bad about the new hole in your sound field between the front left and right speakers though ... which makes this option completely unworkable.
Why can't we get the . in 4. I have to add a center channel that I don't want so I can get bass? I wish Aureal were still around so Creative still had to actually care about its customers ...

HT4557 whats the best itunes/appleID setup for family of 3 with 3 ipads, 3 iphones, one PC with all music on. if we use 3 separate ones how do we share purchased and home content?

been with apple for years. one itunes/appleID in use for family - all purchases and downloads on the one account..
now got 3 ipads, 3 iphones and when we update the software, we seem to get text/facetime issues due to multiple email addresses and phone numbers for the different devices that each individual uses. For example, I send a text and it appears to have come from my wife or son to the recipient. Not good !
there seems to be direction from apple that each of us should use our own apple id, thogh how do I link the accounts so enable family sharing of music/media we have purchased etc - Id also like to be able to review and keep a private eye on what my son downloads as he is 11 yrs old ! I manage this currently as we allow him access to the password for itunes (as we all use the same id today)
Am i better setting up accounts for my wife and son independent of my own, or not. Each of us would like access to the family content we have and the master library of synced content. I just want the most simplistic approach that apple, or others would recommend.
Is there a better or optimum setup for a family as we cannot be alone.....

Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

I'd like to know this to.
We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
She has a nice macbook ( itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
This iCloud seems not too suited.
For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

VPN Client and Setup for RV042

Is there a definitive setup for a small VPN using the RV042?
Situation is 2 remote users wish to get access to a non server (W7P) pc to access files.
The end point doesn't have a static IP but I've put in a DYNDNS.org so it reports back the IP and I can access the router at least from outside.
I can setup VPN users but is there more to do?
Wish to use QVPN client or advise alternative.
Appreciate all input.
Thanks
Bruce

Bruce,
QuickVPN normally works well for what you wish to do. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is ON in Windows 7 and Windows Vista clients. Turn off all antivirus and third party firewall software as well at least until you have verified that you have a successful connection. It is very easy to set up, just create a username and password in the router. If you run into trouble, post here or call your local Small Business Support Center:

ICloud setup for Family to only share Apps

Okay, so I've tried reading through several different articles to figure this out but I'm not getting anywhere so I'm hoping there's somewhere here with a similiar setup that can just give the basic setup. So here's what I want to do, I want to be able to setup icloud on each of my families devices so they are backed up into their own accounts but I also want to make sure that App's are shared across the devices. Here's the setup that I have:
1. For Myself I have an iPhone and a iMac
2. My wife has an iPhone and a Macbook
3. My son has a iPad
Now right now everyone is linked up to my Apple ID since that's the account in which all the Apps are purchased and the billing information is linked up to. I want to setup each device with an icloud account as well so our informaiton can be backed up but I don't want information crossed over between devices (for example I don't want all the contacts from my wife's phone on my phone nor do I want our messages sharted on my son's iPad). I'm not sure on how I can go about this since right now each device is hooked up to my Apple ID (so we can use the Find my iPhone app as well for each device) so I don't know if I create a separate account for everyone if that will still work or if I need to know each login and password. I also want to setup a icloud e-mail account that I can use for the iMac and my iPhone only, and the same setup for my wife and her Macbook. Any help would be great, thanks.

To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID. You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address. However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map. You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.

SSL Certificate setup for Web/Address Book/iCal in 10.7 Lion?

I know nothing about certificates. I plan to use my Mini server to help manage my family's computers which are pretty spread out across the U.S. My plan is to use profile manager for device management, host a couple websites (one secure for home security cams) and share address books and calendars. This is as much a geek gadget project as it is "useful" so I understand I may be creating some work for myself
Anyway, can someone walk me through the correct setup for certificates? My research is showing me a LOT of options/parameters. Due to the expense, i don't want to create one just to find it won't serve my purposes.
Also, I think i'm going with RapidSSL...$50 is the cheapest I've come across...hopefully the offer what I need?

I have just spent 30 minutes on the phone to a pleseant chap in Athens, and now have a solution.
We tried several options and the final one worked - so simple.
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > disable contact sync > keep contacts
Check search, in my case it worked for the first time in several weeks :-)
then re-enable contact sync as follows:
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > re-tick contacts > merge contacts
Search still works
Hallelujah!

Office 2013 RMS Client Configuration - Your Machine is not setup for IRM

Hi All,
I have successfully setup a test AD RMS farm but stuck at trying to configure Office 2013 to work with this. The farm configuration is as below
DC: Windows 2003
AD RMS Server: Windows 2008/ SQL Server 2008 R2
Client: Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2013 32 bit, Domain Joined
Client is domain joined and SCP has been successfully registered ( I can see the SCP in AD RMS properties).
When I open word and select Protect Document -> Restrict Access, the only option is to Connect to RMS Server and get template, which eventually gives an error
Your Machine isn't setup for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to office, open an existing IRM protected message or document, or contact your help desk.
Surprisingly, when I open a document protected by IRM (from a different machine), IRM is automatically configured for the user and starts working from that point. However any new domain user login into this client faces the same issue.
Can anyone help identify the required registry keys that need to be present for getting this working on the client.
Thanks for your help

Entry Channel setup for multiple company codes

Hello,
I have a question regarding the entry channel setup (for external requirements in the Plan-Driven Procurement scenario)
In previous implementations, I 've created an entry channel below each company code (as the documentation says it should be). Now, for each entry channel, there was a EBP user assigned, which corresponded to an RFC entry in the backend system (I was connecting EBP to multiple backend systems)
Now, what should I do in the following scenario?:
1. SRM is only connected to one backend system
2. There are 50 company codes
Does that mean I have to create 50 users (for each channel) plus 50 RFC connections in the R/3 system (each with a different user in the backend system), pointing to the same SRM system?
I was thinking of creating an Org iD in the SRM structure at the top (which would be the entry channel), assign only ONE user to it and then fill attribute BUK with all the company codes. However, I don't know if this will work, because the external requirement process might need the company code defined in the "Function" tab... =/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Gilberto.

Hi Proyecto Genesis,
I am also configuring the Entry channel (org unit) for multiple company codes.
I tried your logic of defining the entry channel outside company code level. Assigned the BUK attribute and extended attribute for plants and storage locations.
Also in my case the local Pur org and Pur group is defined outside the company code. Is it correct?
However the system fails to transfer the external requisition to SRM.
SLG1 displays following error message.
"No address found for partner function type Ship-To Address"
So if I move the Entry channel (org unit) under any one company code level then the external requisitions are transferred correctly to SRM.
But then the issue is the requirements are not transferred with the backend Pur Org and Pur grp. Instead they are transferred to the Pur Org and Pur grp of the company code under which the entry channel is defined.
Can you please share how do we need to define the entry channel, local pur org and pur grp for multiple company codes scenario, so that the ECC requisitions are transferred with the correct company code, pur org and pur grp to SRM?
Or do we need to define Entry channel for each company code and RFC user actually mapping the same backend system?
Please guide.
Regards,
Sandeep

Setup for Discoverer to have multiple sessions opening in different browser

What is the setup for Discoverer or Windows 6 browser to have multiple discoverer sessions opening in different browser windows at the same time in Discoverer 10g Plus?
We have implemented Discoverer 10g Plus just to be used as an extract tool. We have some workbooks retrieving 200,000 or more rows from an Oracle database. It is taking 30 to 45 minutes to download. Some users are able to open multiple sessions in different browsers to download more then one worksheet at the time, but we have other users who get an error message that they can only open one session at the time. What is the setup to allow users to open more than one Discoverer session?

Yes, you can install and use the software on the 2nd machine so long your new company owns the license, the software is used but the same person who is using the primary installation (that is, you).

Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
*What I've tried and the issues...*
At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
SMB doesn't work.
Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
*What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
Thanks much.

Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server

AP Check printing setups for printing checks on your own

HI
I am wondering if there a good document which deals with AP check printing with MICR and signature on your own check stock
thanks

Recently we started to deal with AP check printing in our organizatin. It was a daunting task with the information and resources scattered all over and missing critical pieces of information to make sense out of the whole process flow. We attempted to go through the AP check printing internally and succeded.
I decided to post the information for the benefit of people about the our experience
Check Printing Basics and Beyond for Printing Checks on Your Own
by
Sarma Chilukuri
This article deals with what is needed to get your own checks printed. It is a first attempt to uncover all the hidden rules that one should be aware to get your own checks printed. The first section deals with the basic AP check printing setup, while the 2nd half explores some of the flow of events that make it possible to print the check.
Part I â Basic Setup
AP Setup for check printing
There are multiple steps in the AP check printing. First set of steps deal with the AP side setups. The second step is to get the System side setups. The system side setup deals with printer setup and program options setups. The last step would be to make the print format files configured with the vendor provided escape sequences in the laser print format file.
Step 1: login as Payable Manager
Step 2: Bank Setup: Navigate to Setup: Payments > Banks
1.     Make sure the Bank # etc are present
2.     Tab to âBank Accountsâ, and make sure your account # has been setup
3.     On the Bank Accounts screen, tab to the âPayables Documentsâ and verify that Payment format (E.g., COK Laser Format) has been entered. This âPayment format links to next section where we associate it to the right payment program.
Fig 1. AP Payment Bank Setup Screen
Step 3: Program Setup (Setup: Payments > Programs)
As we know there are only 5 formats 3 of which are âEver Green Laserâ (APXPBFE G|L|F) which are explained in the AP Users Guide. For your own form printing, you have to associate the format to APXPFEL (laser format) program. Also, the APXPBFEL or APXPBFEF call the APXPBFEG, which is the base program that pulls the data from oracle base tables. APXPBFEL is the one which allows us to print the checks with MICR and signature on a plain paper not on a pre printed stationery.
Fig. 2 AP Payment Format Setup Screen
Printer Styles, Drivers setup
The above process summarizes the AP Setup. As a DBA, the printer setup needs to be validated. The base install provides the right setup to some extent. But the differences in printers and print queues may add some complexity to the final configuration. The following section discusses the set up the base install provides and changes as needed.
Step 1. Login as system Administrator
Step 2: Style (Install : Printer > Style)
Look for the âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ. This one is associated with the SRW Driver Called, âAPLASPâ (AP Laser printer format).
Step 3: Driver (Install : Printer > Driver).
     1. The âPORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECKâ is associated with a âUser Driverâ of PORTRAIT for HPLJ4 and and a SRW driver of âAPLASPâ
     2. Also notice that there is an Initialization string at the bottom of it. This initialization string gets called as pre-report trigger for the APXPBFEG program (APXPBFEG.rdf) file. It sets the kind of format it should be. Please see the Appendix A for details on these printer pcl code translations. The Initialization string was as follows:
Initialization: /eE/e&l0o2a7C/e(s0P/e(8U
Step 4: Printer type (Install : Printer > Register)
Each printer type is associated with a set of styles. Make sure the printer that was selected has the above style and its associated driver listed against that.
Fig. 3 System Administrator Printer Seups
Step 5: Program Setup (Concurrent > Program > Define)
This step holds the key for check printing. It is necessary to define whether you need the check on top followed by the Stub or the other way around. The way it is controlled is based on the APXPBFEG.rdf, the report definition file and the APLASP.prt (Printer Style associate with the Portrait laser check format SRW driver). The APLASP.prt file ($FND_TOP/reports) has two identical setups called the 100 series and the 200 series. Those identical sets of setups define where the MICR and signature print on the check. The following table lists the some of the codes in the 100 series. Please refer to Doc ID #146452.1 for complete details.
Fig. 4 System Administrator Concurrent Program Definitions
CODE #     Code Definition
100     Electronic check activation string
101     1st Check #
102     2nd Check #
104     Deactivate check number mode string
111     Activate MICR line
112     MICR Deactivation / reset the printer head position
121     1st Signature
122     2nd Signature
141     Address font activation string
199     Return to default state string
Table 1. APLASP.prt -- MICR Activation Codes
The above code block repeats itself the same way in the 200 series. The decision to activate one way or the other controls the Check printing.
Step 2: Setting up the Option block
In the concurrent program definition for the APXPBFEL, there is an Options block in the middle. You need to list the codes that you want to activate. Please refer to Doc ID # 186640.1 for some explanation on these.
E.g.,
p_printer_code_mask="201,211,221,241" p_sig2_amount="" p_sig3_amount="" p_sig1_vendnum="" p_sig2_vendnum="" p_sig3_vendnum="" p_country_to_ignore="US" p_continuous_stationery="N"
Step 3: Output format is Text
Text format is sufficient, as the printer will pick up these escape sequences anyway.
Fig. 5 System Administrator Concurrent Program APXPBFEL Options Definition
UIPRINT.TXT, UIFONTS.ALI
One needs to be aware of a few more pieces in this puzzle. The UIPRINT.TXT identifies to the Oracle Applications the print queues that were setup. This file is needed to set your PCL / Post Script printer definitions. I did not have to really tinker with these files other than identifying the PCL and Post Script Qâs that were setup on the UNIX box.
Part II: Integrating all the pieces
The above setups are all documented in various articles. We need to understand a few more steps to see how all these pieces come together.
What you need to know about APXPBFEG.rdf
APXPBFEG (.rdf) is the report file which when called pulls the data from Oracle. If you open the APXPBFEG.rdf in the Oracle reports, there is initialization to the report called, SRW.Init. This will bring in the initialization string associated with the PORTRAITHPLJ4LASCHECK driver definition file. Also, please be very careful with this report format file. When you open it, there is small tiny empty block. in the first block which calls the printer initialization code 100/200 under the Format Mask (from APLASP.prt). If this portion gets changed or messed up, one can end up with some unexpected results. Each of those blocks like MICR, CHECK etcâ¦ have associated format triggers and printer codes.
Please make sure that the printer mask is properly handled. I noticed that the 200 series MICR (211) and Signature (221) printer masks were tied to 111 and 121 respectively. These should have been 211 and 221. The other place you need to be careful was the printer code before and after is proper.
For E.g.,
For the MICR, the âprinter code before and after columns â should be 111 and 112 (or 211 / 212) respectively while Format Trigger should reference to 111 (211).
Fig. 6 APXPBFEG rdf file printer mask and Format Triggers
The escape sequences in the APLASP.prt file for these codes will play the crucial role in getting our format around the report output that gets generated from the APXPBFEG program. Please refer to the explanation of these escape sequence codes in the APPENDIX A.
At this point when you run the program, you will see that the formatted output report file will have all the initialization strings and the output associated with that. You can compare the fields and verify the results. Let us closely examine the parts of the 111 and 121 where the micr and signature prints. The key to this to code the escape sequences the right way to get the associate MICR and signature print out correctly.
Fig. 7 APXPBFEG rdf file MICR printer mask and Format Triggers
Code 111 and Code 112 from the APLASP.prt file.
I broke the line into pieces to illustrate the exact escape sequence code.
Code "211"
Part 1: esc "&f0S" esc "&f0y0X" esc "&l0E" esc "&a0L"
Part 2: esc "(8M" esc "(s0p8.00h8.0v0s0b80T" --- This will be provided by the ROM

code "212"
Part 1 : esc "&f1x3x8X"
Part 2 : esc "&f1S"
Let us go over these 2 sets of codes carefully.
Escape Code     Meaning     Comment
esc "&f0S"      Push Cursor Position
esc "&f0y0X"     Define Macro ID 0 and Start Macro Definition
esc "&l0E"      Define Top Margin at 0 Lines
esc "&a0L"      Define Left Margin at Column 0
esc "(8M"     8M Symbol SetNote : As per pcl codes this happens to be Font Primary JIS Math 8 symbol     MICR Part 1 : Provided by the Vendor from where you the ROM cartridge

esc "&k15H" esc "*p907Y"     Set HMI = 15/120" Vert position = 907 Dots
esc "&a13.8C"     Move to Column 13.8
     CODE 112
esc "&f1x3x8X"     {End Macro Definition}{Call Macro}{Delete Macro ID}
esc "&f1S"     {Pop Cursor Position}     At this point, the MICR gets printed

Vendor gave the us esc "(4B"esc"(s1p53v0s0b102T!"Note: the ! when the it pushes the ! and that is where it prints the signature piece. The first part forms the symbol set , say (4B and the later part forms the signature font and ! is the piece. I took the ! from the above and let it stay with the 3rd part of it so that signature does not print twice.
esc "&f1S"      Pop Cursor Position
esc "*p+121Y"     Move down 121 Dots
esc "&f1S"     Pop Cursor Position
