A PPC Motion user tries out the Intel machines

Hi Guys,
Ive been seriously thinking about the intel,octo,3.0 Ghz machne as an upgrade to my current config of two PPC G5-quad, 16 gigs of ram-X1900, bla, bla, bla.
Recently I had a chance to work on 2 of those Intel machines... extensively. After several days of beating those things to death and running M3 thru the ringers this is what i came up with.
Stability:
I find that the PPC quad was far more stable than the intels running M3, In fact I found constant stalls,, crashes, and tons of little bugs depending on what your doing.
Real time playback.
Realtime playback kicked *** until I through a few layers of text at them. One project had over 90 layers w/ behaviors and stuff. and that really killed it.. actually that would kill most.
The intel machines ran cooler, and when it came to compressing tons of content it was awesome!
However, After nearly two days of trouble shooting machines, crashes, command delays and that kind of thing I was forced to take my work home to work on the PPC machines which yield a more constant, far less frustrating effortless workflow. Quick example: What took me nearly six hours to try and complete, took 4 hours delivered to client. because of the stability.
So, as bad as I want a few new Octo's stuffed with everything you can put in the thing... I think Im gonna wait for the next round of desktops. Maybe by then the marriage of software and hardware will actually meet somewhere in the middle for a less frustrating experience.

If it works......it works! There's no need to do spending where not necessary... I wish somebody told me that when I was attending art school... -_-

I suspect you may be using ActiveX print control(?). If that is the case, look at permission issues.
1) If you run the app on the server it's self, are you able to print from there?
2) If you log in as an admin on the server, can you print?
3) If you log in as an admin on the a workstation, can you print?
Process Monitor will be a good utility to use to check permission issues. Process Monitor is here:

Form Action Mailto email address specified in text box from the user filling out the form??

I am very new to Dreamweaver and this is likely a very basic question, but never the less, I can't find the answer on Google or in the Help. I want the form below to always be e-mailed to [email protected] and also to the e-mail address supplied by the user filling out the form. The user supplied email address will be in the text box id "SalesEmail" listed below. How can I accomplish this? The user filling out the form would be my salesman, so they need the information, as do I.
Thanks,
David

First of all, we are not Adobe. This is a user to user forum. We are consumers just like you. And I have arthritis, too, although not severe.
Now let's see if we can help you resolve your problem.
Where was it purchased from?
Was it downloaded or was a disc purchased?
What is your operating system?
Is it version Photoshop Elements 13?
Did you use a redemption code to get a serial number?
Did you sign in/activate?
Did you create an Adobe account?

Will my copy of FCP run on the Intel machines

I currently have a G5 with a PowerPC chip and I am looking at purchasing one of the new MacBooks. However, I heard a rumor on the internet that my copy of FCP, which was purchased a year ago, will not run on the Intel machines.
Is this correct?

http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
Ok I found the link. So I have the entire Final Cut Studio Production Suite that I bought this Spring. So that means it will just cost me $49 for the upgrade?
Does the crossover effect any other applications?

File sharing across multiple user accounts on the same machine

Hello,
I try to figure out how multiple users (my wife and I) on the same mac can have equal access to files on the local drive without granting that access to all users on that machine or even the rest of the world.
My research sofar hasn't come up with a satisfying solution. Here are the solutions that I am looking at:
1. Enable a permission system that ensures access to both users in all cases (file/directory creation, copy and move).
I only found a suitable solution for creating and copying files/directories but not for moving them.
See the following articles for reference:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20787617#20787617 Setting up a shared structure that works e.g. for iPhoto Library but not for moving files to and from
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4005647#4005647 Helpful information on POSIX Permissions, ACL's an Permission inheritance
This would be my first choice if I can get around the problem of moving files...
2. Disk Image
Create a disk image which ignores persmissions and set permissions for the file that contains the image instead.
Read this article to get further details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
This solution will work but has a few disadvatages:
There's no mutual access from multiple user accounts since an image may only be mounted by one user at a time.
One has to create a startup script that mounts the image upon login which would create a first come first serve for access to the image content.
3. Using a file sharing protocol (e.g. afp or smb) locally.
The idea behind it is to have a server providing the files mutually to multiple users one the same machine. At them moment this seems to be the most promising approach to me.
Unfortunately I can get acces from another machine but not from the same machine. Has anyone ever tried to access the file sharing (afp or smb) from the same machine on which the server is located?
Has anyone got some helpful hints for me?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but you didn't specify details, and it was worth checking whether or not you had overlooked this approach.
The problem you're having (as I suppose you already know) is that any new disk item inherits the permissions of the folder it is originally created in in. These permissions (sensibly enough) need owner or administrator permission to change once they've been established; that will happen when you copy a file to a new location (because that's essentially creating a new file) but not when you move it. any of the following would work:
changing the permissions on newly created files for both users so that they all explicitly give r/w access to a particular group.
writing a droplet that would change the permissions of files dropped on it and move them programmatically to the shared folder
set up a folder action or launchd job that would watch the shared folder and automatically convert permissions on files placed in it.
The last would be the approach I would take, but... which appeals to you?

How do i enable office applications for all user accounts on the same machine?

Hi All,
I just purchased a new MBA and Office Hame & Business. Coming from the windows world I thought that one installation of office should be available to all accounts that I set up on the same machine. I set-up the user accounts then installed office 2011 for MAC and tried to access office from my daughters account -> can not locate office? Does MS expect that you need to purchase a separate copy of office for each user on the same machine?? I also don't want to waste precious harddrive space in the MBA to have separate copies of the same application installed.
Any help would be appreciated....
Andrew

One install allows all your users to use Office. All your users have access to the Applications folder where the office apps are installed. Do you see the office folder from your daughters account in applications?

Non Admin user can cancel the time machine backup an Admin user started?

Today I had to do a new time machine backup but as it was running the user was switched to a non admin user but that admin user was able to terminate the backup that Time Machine was running since the panel showed up on their screen. Why is that?

Barney-15E wrote:
I wouldn't think it was a bug. If I was a user trying to get something done that was processor intensive, I'd like to be able to stop the backup. As the admin, I wouldn't think missing one backup was a big deal.
The o.p. didn't seem to agree.
I'm not sure what I'd think in that situation.
But it could easily be allowed, for those who want it -- just put the TM icon in the other user's menubar before locking the preferences panel.

When one network user is logged in another network user cannot on the same machine

I am working on a home network for 5 family members and we are use to fast user switching. Since getting the server up we can no longer fast user switch. If one network user is logged in and we go to switch to a new user the server returns an error and that user can not log into that machine until the first user logs out. I would expect this to work but I have not had any success.
Any suggestions

Hi,
What is the current setting of Enable user policy polling on clients?
However, if this setting is False or No, the following will not work when users use the Application Catalog:
In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 and System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager only, users cannot install the applications that they see in the Application Catalog.
Users will not see notifications about their application approval requests. Instead, they must refresh the Application Catalog and check the approval status.
Users will not receive revisions and updates for applications that are published to the Application Catalog. However, they will see changes to application information in the Application Catalog.
If you remove an application deployment after the client has installed the application from the Application Catalog, clients continue to check that the application is installed for up to 2 days.

Anyone actually tried out the gaming performance?

Hey so I'm looking to get a new MacBook and was just hoping someone out there already to have one could slap something like the doom3 demo in just so we could hear first hand what its like. I realize its not a gaming computer and I'm not hoping for 40fps at high on graphically intense games, gaming will not be the main use of the laptop if I get one, I am just curious to hear how it is. I have actually gone throught the doom3 demo on my emac (despite the fact it is way below the requirements) with everything turned down and it wasn't bad as long as nothing onscreen moved. Anyways it would be cool to hear what game you tried, what kind of settings and whether it was smooth or a little choppy or what.
Thanks,
Steve

I installed Warcraft on my wife's new MacBook. It is the low end model (1.83ghz) with 1gb of RAM. She was happy with the performance. I was not impressed.
Here are some metrics. I bumped all settings down to the minimum. The shader options are not available as integrated intel video *****. The terrain distance option was bumped to the 1/4 position (meaning just a bit longer than the shortest viewable terrain distance). No vertical sync. Hardware cursor and mouse were both enabled.
Machine lag was not an issue. Stormwind and Ironforge both were responsive enough, even when crossing into the drop zone near the Ironforge Auction house.
The framerates were not very good though. In heavily populated areas it was looking at 14-24 frames per second. It was smooth "enough" but anything less than 24 frames makes it not look as smooth.
The framerates in other areas was better but still not great. Now, it's time for a comparison...
Her Sony Vaio V505-DX with an onboard ATI 9200 at only 32mb performs much better at the same settings. The game is always played with shaders turned on, terrain about the same and all other settings on low. It always manages at least 30 frames per second.
The machine if you're curious:

I'd say the move to using integrated video was a poor decision. I don't expect crazy performance but this move has further pushed the Mac away from mid-range gamers and potentially game developers. I would not game on one. My wife games maybe an hour or two an evening (we don't watch much TV) so this is an alright fit for her.
If Apple really wanted to bring the games to the Mac platform they would make it attractive to both parties (developers and consumers) but I don't feel they did a good job on that one.

I'm trying out the environment.....

...And I have a question. For the Audio Objects that become Audio tracks, what would one use the cabling feature for? Examples would be great!
I haven't used the environment up until today because I always looked at it like opening up my sound board and blindly moving things around. I received the macprovideo logic bundle for christmas and just got around to the Environment video and am really less afraid now then I was yesterday. So I thought I would jump in.
Thanks.

X-man,
Ah, the environment. Fresh air, beautiful countryside, the place where boys and girls of all ages can experience the thrill of Cable Junction where faders, buttons, cable splitters, and transformers are at your beck and call. Holiday packages start at $999!
On "blindly moving things around"... ;-)
The first thing to know is that the environment is really one big space -- like a warehouse -- where all of the various environment objects are stored (instruments, transformers, audio objects, and so on). In a typical setup there are dozens of objects, and if you were forced to view them all at once it would be a bit overwhelming and require a lot of scrolling to navigate through them. So to make it easier to deal with all of these objects, the environment has what are called "layers"; each layer is like a floor in multi-story warehouse. Audio objects are all housed on one floor, the instruments on another floor, and so on.
There is a special layer called the "all objects" layer which shows you the warehouse's entire inventory. When you view this layer and 2-click on one of the items listed, it will switch to the layer where that object was placed.
But layers aren't like walled rooms with no way in or out. Cables can be freely run between objects in different layers. So you can create a button in, say, your Clicks & Ports layer for the purpose of bypassing FX plug-ins. You can then run multiple outputs from this one button to audio objects in the Audio Layer and even the Instrument layer, and bypass their FX plugs from the one button.
Keep in mind also that there are no hard and fast rules that dictate, for example, that an audio instrument object can only live in the Instrument layer. If you found it more convienient to view your instruments in the same layer as your audio tracks, for example, you could move them to the Audio layer. It wouldn't change anything about Logic's performance. All it does is put the instruments on the same "floor" as your audio tracks.

I am trying out the free trial photo elements 13, and i have edited some pics and now i am trying to burn the pics onto a dvd. how do i do that?

and i have a laptop computer with windows 7

iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".
