A terminal for users to scan USB sticks before they use them on the domain?

I've use stand alone sheep dips a lot, however...
Make sure you connect them to an isolated network connection to the internet for updates once a day, this must be separate (use a different VLAN and ACL if you have to).
The machine must be rebuilt, or have two and rotate them on a regular basis (each week?) or when an infected USB device is inserted (don't risk other devices), at this point format, format and format a few more times that USB stick before it's allowed to be removed!

Anyone else come up with anything like this or have any recommendations for how they did it or what they used?We're fairly tight here when it comes to malware, our firewalls scan incoming and outgoing traffic, we run Kaspersky on our servers alongside Webroot as well as Webroot on our user end points.Yet stuff still gets through, we recently got hit by a crypto which wiped out our finance file share (lucky we have backups), it avoided KES and that's actually why we've been running Webroot along side it. It's very very likely that this came in via a USB stick (avoiding 40k worth of enterprise firewalls), our users are very carefree when it comes to where they get them and what they do with them. External contractors and alike have been allowed to use their USB sticks on domain machines and it's been an uphill battle to get people to...

I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in music folder in finder and on iPhone/ipad with itunes match but not in iTunes?

I copied mp3 files from a usb stick and they appear in finder in my itunes media/music folder and on my iphone and ipad with itunes match but not in the itunes library?

Not working. And it didn't used to be a problem. iTunes can find the songs with Search Library, but doesn't show in any index (by song, artist or album). Finding with Search Library offers to play or add to Up Next, but neither actually does anything. Using File-Add to Library does nothing as well. The only way I can get the new files to play is to find in Finder and Open with iTunes.
I suspect Apple is trying to drive me to buy from iTunes store. Not gonna happen. If they don't fix this, I'll find another player.
This worked fine before OSX 10.8.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Airport Express or Extreme for my school dormitory, would i need to plug them into the already existing school internet via LAN cable or do the products just work by themselves?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
AirPort stations aren't modems, so they have to be connected to the modem you are already using. The AirPort Extreme and Express have a WAN port, where you have to plug an Ethernet cable that has to be connected to the modem.
After doing this, you can set up the AirPort station by using AirPort Utility. If you have Windows, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week. I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting. I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails. Any ideas?

At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

1,1 running Lion with XP Boot (re-install and what should i use for recovery disk or usb stick)?

i am trying to give my 1,1 mac pro a little love and would like to keep this machine running lion. i also have a boot camp installation of XP on it.
1. can anyone give me instructions on how/whether i can basically do a fresh install of Lion on this machine and minimize the system so it is not cluttered up with all my previous software etc, etc while still maintaining the original XP boot camp partition which i really need to have?
2. can anyone clarify for me what i should have on hand /if/ i need to boot into recovery mode or some other safe boot mode? i recently ran into an issue where i may have had to use the old Disk Utility format function and there was a reference to booting using the DVD install disks. however i am really confused as to what i should have on hand. ALSO the last time i had to do something on this machine i was told to boot into the Recovery Partition and it appears for some reason (perhaps because i had a "non-standard" windows 7 boot camp installation on the drive at the time??) that there was no recovery partition created when i upgraded to Lion.
- /anyway/ i am finding that i have the two ORIGINAL install disks for the mac pro on hand, a Max OS X Leopard and a mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD on hand but i am thinking that i should be creating some kind of USB stick similar to the one i created with yosemite? actually, i am not even sure what this USB stick for yosemite is for but i guess i can use it to boot into safe mode or something?
THANKS for any help as i'd like to get this business under control a little better in case i have an issue.
i'd also like to install Lion so that there is a Recovery Partition if possible and i think this may be possible if i don't have the windows 7 partition in the machine when i do a fresh install. any help would be great. thanks.

You have to go out of your way to build the Installer Disk yourself. But this tool makes it easy, and this site contains instructions:
http://diskmakerx.com
the bootable installer is basically to re-install the OS if i have to
Yes.
the recovery partition is somehow for fixing a problem
Recovery can go and get you the software and re-download it and start the Install, and allows the use of Disk Utility and can reset passwords.
or is there some overlap?
Yes. Both give you access to the Utilities that used to be on the Installer DVD. Disk Utility to Repair or initialize and a few other tools that can allow you to set up to install on an otherwise-bare disk or change your password.
is "Safe Mode" something completely different
Safe Mode is a way to start the fully-Installed Operating System in a special way. It first does one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) against the Boot Drive. [Normally this would require booting from a different drive to make repairs.] Then it loads a minimal set of Apple-only kernel extensions, and uses a one-size-fits-all screen resolution. Then it demands your Username and password to proceed.
From there you can fix settings, use the Finder to add or delete things, and check operation with minimal extensions versus all your daily-use extensions. Very helpful for debugging extension conflicts and graphics settings problems, and fixing damaged settings. The next Restart builds a new extensions cache.

Cloning OS2 HDD to USB stick hangs at a file with the same name ???

Hi,
I'm dragging my MacIntosh HD icon to a large USB stick in order to clone it because I'm going to install OS X Tiger onty my iMac G3/400 DV SE. The copying initiates, it starts, and after a few hundreds of MB's a small window pops up with this remark (translated from Dutch) :
" The file XXXXX cannot be copied because another file with the same name exists already." The window has two buttons : STOP and Continue. No matter which button I click, the process stops and I'm left with a few hundred MB on my USB stick. Deleting the "double" file doesn't help because a few minutes later another one pops up.
How is this possible? The USB stick is completely empty! Can anybody tell me what's going on and how to stop this, otherwise I'll never be able to clone the HDD.
Thanks for your kind information,
Paul

It was a bug in Classic OS, which was manifest in certain circumstances. My workaround was, at that time, to isolate the rascal (was possible, like in your case), eliminate it, then add it later.
Such events may occurs with Mac OS X files too, I cannot figure out why. One or two apps in my software archive usually do that.
another workaround it to archive it (.zip now, .sit in classic Mac OS), check whether applicable.

Receiving error message "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'" every minute on server which is the mirror

Hello,
I have 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 machines that are configured with database mirroring (using certificates as authentication), there is no witness configured. My issue is that the mirror server is receiving at least one of the below pared messages every
second and filling up my sql error log quickly.
SYSTEM is the service account user for the MSSQLSERVER service.
[298] SQLServer Error: 4060, Cannot open database "<databasename>" requested by the login. The login failed. [SQLSTATE 42000]
[298] SQLServer Error: 18456, Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'. [SQLSTATE 28000]
The database has a status of: Affected database state is: Mirror, Synchronized/Restoring...
When I checking the database mirror monitor, it shows that its mirroring ok and everything has green checkboxes.
Is there a way to stop all these errors being logged, I'm assuming this isn't normal.
Marcus

Yes i have faced the same issues and tried everything and nothing was using this account, system was ended up with creating few GB's sql error log files everday.. and finally i had two options, 1 -- Rebuild the instance completely 2. Change the SQL Server
Audit settings to Only successful logins and restart the instance.. ( May be your current sql server level Audit setting is set to Failed & Successful logins..
Remeber my server was a DR so I have changed the SQL Server Audit settings to only Successful logins.. but production servers we will monitor both... :)

"home folder for user "....." is not located in the usual... (help)

I accidentally ran Disk Utility (repair permissions and disk) from the panther disk that came with my computer instead of from my Tiger disk. Now things are really screwed up. I can't open any user accounts and no files seem available. Most Apps seem to be there. But i can't open or even locate any formerly existing documents.
The message i'm getting is: *Home Folder for user "me" is not located in the usual place and can not be accessed*
Does anyone have any idea what can be done?
I would appreciate any advice,
Syncsailor

HT5639 Can I install Win7 32-bit from a bootable USB-Stick on iMac using Boot Camp?

I would like to run Win7 32-bit on my iMac 8,1.
I have a bootable USB-Stick to install Win7.
Does Boot Camp support the installation from USB-Stick?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can only install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- MacBook Air.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- iMac (Late 2012).
As you don't have any of those Macs, you have to install Windows through a DVD. Also, the only iMac that can install Windows using a USB drive only supports a 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 version with Boot Camp

Is there a way for people to sign into a forum with the same email they used elsewhere on the site?

Right now, our site has to have a separate login for the forum that was built using the forum module. This poses a problem since users who sign up through other web forms that do not have username or password fields may try to sign in to the forum and then try to reset a password that does not exist. It also poses a problem in that people who are already in the CRM because they signed up using other web forms cannot use the same email address they used to sign up to register for the forum.
We have also had the same problem with secure zones in that people who have already gone through a web form and have their name and email address in the CRM have issues signing in to the secure zone.
So, I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this so that people can sign up using the same email address.
Thank you for your assistance!

lost mode don't depend of the sim card. If you take your Iphone on Lost mode... anybody can use it with the original card sim or with an other one.
Did you try to localise it ?
But hope that thief don't make a restore of the Iphone... Call your Mobile Operator to try to block the IMEI Number.

I do not have an apple computer, I have had Itunes Previously but had not used it for some time. when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times install Itunes. "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

I do not have an Apple computer, I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time, I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them. I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file." How can I overcome this?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
