A/V output setup for MacBook question

Bought the A/V cable and have used it to hook my MacBook to my stereo system while my guitar is hooked up to the MacBook. Tried it on my iPod to TV to stereo system, wanted to see my vids on tv and hear through stereo. Figuered out in "video setup" on my iPod that you need to set it to "tv out" .. where on my MacBook is that same option for watching my vids from my MacBook through my tv and stereo?

Belkin switch works great!

XRaid Setup for Facility-Questions

We are a small production facility and I'm moving towards shared storage. Here is the system I was thinking of getting, so if anyone wants to give any advice, I'd be happy to accept and very appreciative.
-We currently have 3 rooms: 2 G5's and 1 Intel 3.0 Quad all running Final Cut Pro regularly editing DVCPro HD and SD Uncompressed and DV.
I'm going to lease:
-XRaid fully populated with either 500 or 750gig drives (advice?)
-3 Dual Channel 2Gig Fibre cards
-Qlogic SANbox Express 1403 Fibre Switch
-Cables-Need 2 runs of over 25 feet to rooms
-MetaSAN software
-Placement: Can the XRaid live in our edit suite in our rack? Is it too loud to have in a suite? (We don't have a dedicated machine room.)
-Cable? Fiber optic or copper? Our rooms are all next to each other, but obviously, just to get cable up the wall, over the ceiling, etc, we will definitely be more than the 3 meters limit of copper. Am I correct on this that we have to go optical with these transceiver units??
-Size:750 versus 500's? Anyone have any negative experiences with the 750's? Greater chance of problems with them? Run much hotter? It seems way cost effective to go 750's for only an additional $1400 to get an extra several TB's...
-RAID: Best setup? I've only started researching, but it sounds like I should Raid 0 both sides individually and then stripe them Raid 50 together. How much drive space will I lose doing it this way for safety? Is this correct?
Thanks a lot for any help. This stuff is a little out of my techy comfort zone...

Your setup sounds fine. As for specific questions:
>-Placement: Can the XRaid live in our edit suite in our rack? Is it too loud to have in a suite? (We don't have a dedicated machine room.)
To be honest, I'm not certain about the noise since all my RAIDs are surrounded by XServes, CRAC units/air handers, etc., etc. Anecdotal evidence says they're noisy, If it's too noisy for you, something like the XRack Pro might be an idea solution.
>-Cable? Fiber optic or copper? Our rooms are all next to each other, but obviously, just to get cable up the wall, over the ceiling, etc, we will definitely be more than the 3 meters limit of copper. Am I correct on this that we have to go optical with these transceiver units??
Copper cables can run up to 50 meters, so the choice is yours.
I've purchased long copper cables from CS Electronics before and have been very happy with them. They'll even make custom length if you want/need that.
>Size:750 versus 500's?
750's. No question. As you note, the price difference is small compared to what you get.
>-RAID: Best setup? I've only started researching, but it sounds like I should Raid 0 both sides individually and then stripe them Raid 50 together. How much drive space will I lose doing it this way for safety? Is this correct?
Ordinarily I'd say RAID 50, as you hint (although this is a striped (RAID 0) array of RAID 5 volumes, I'm guessing your 'RAID 0' comment was a typo.
However, if you're using a SAN product you should check with the vendors. Presumably the SAN is going to virtualize the storage and therefore it might not matter how the RAID is configured. In most cases I'd recommend RAID 5 on the XServe RAID itself, so it's the RAID 0 element that's most questionable.
You might also need to take performance into account. Ordinarily RAID 50 gives best performance, but only for a single host. If you have multiple hosts contending for disk access you might find that separate volumes, with individual servers weighted towards one array or another gives you a better solution since each machine is unaffected (or, at least, less affected) by what the other is doing.

Multi user setup for TM questions

I just bought a 500G external drive for use with TM, however, before I try to set everything up, I have a few questions.
The 500G drive will be the TM drive for 2 macs (mini and MB). The mini has 3 users (me, wife and daughter). The MB has 2 (me home and me work). I would like to have all 3 accounts on the mini and the 'me home' account to use the 500G usb drive for TM, attached to the mini (for now).
Do I need to create seperate partitions for each user/machine? Or can I just use it as 1 big partition? (I will be excluding system files from the TM backups).
Other question: How can I setup the usb drive to always be shared? Right now, I have it setup as shared by my admin account on the mini. As soon as that account logs out, the share goes away. Not the best situation for TM backups.
Thanks for any info you can provide,
David

Whether to partition or not to partition:
You do not need to partition. Time Machine will take care of saving separate backups for each user.
The biggest reason to partition the backup drive is if you want to save other "stuff" on the drive besides your TM backups. Then you would create a Time Machine backup partition, and an "other stuff" partition.
That being said, in your case you may want to consider creating 2 partitions, one for your Mini and one for your MacBook. But you don't need to create a separate partition for each user.
The only reason to create a separate partition for 1 specific user would be if you want to make sure that user account has plenty of room for backups (or you want to limit the size of a users backup space). For example: Since Time Machine erases older backups to make room for new ones, its conceivable that your daughter could be downloading music or movies that get backed up a lot, leaving less space for you and your wife.
How to set up USB drive to always be shared
Normally, I would say that all you have to do is login as each user one at a time and set up sharing the same way for all of them. But I will be interested to see if this works for you. Please report back. What I am curious about is whether Time Machine on your MacBook will get confused when it tires to do a backup if different users are logged into the Mini at different times. Will the MacBook think they are different shares, or will it properly realize that its the same share but that another user just happens to be logged in at the moment. Please report back.
Excluding System files
Like the other poster, I would suggest that you do not exclude system files. At least include them for the admin account on each machine. The reason is that in a "catastrophic" event, it will be much easier and quicker for you to get back up and running. All you would need to do is boot from the Leopard DVD (by holding down C during startup). Then after the language screen, ignore the main widow and goto "utilities" in the menubar, and restore your system from Time Machine backup. This will get you back up and running in one step (albeit a big long step). But by doing this you wont have to reinstall Leopard, then reinstall your applications one by one (reentering software keys for those that require it) and then restore all your lost documents. Just a suggestion. For the non admin users, you could exclude everything except their home folder (make sure not to exclude their library).
So to summarize this absurdly long post:
For what its worth I would:
1) Create 2 partitions. 1 for the Mini and 1 for the MacBook.
2) For the Admin account on the Mini and the MacBook DO NOT exclude anything.
3) For all other accounts, exclude everything EXCEPT each users home folder.
4) Enable sharing for your external drive independently for each user on you mini (start with your Admin account). Report back please. I am curious if your MacBook properly finds the drive when an account other than the Admin account is logged into your Mini.

Setup for Macbook Pro & XP desktop with one monitor (Cintiq21UX from WACOM)

Is there a way to use the Cintiq 21UX as a monitor for both my my new Macbook Pro laptop & a Windows XP desktop? I would rather not have to change cables and have heard about a KVM switch from IOGEAR that might give this functionality. Ideally, I would use a single display, keyboard and mouse with both computers when using Photoshop. I don't know if the keyboard & mouse is a realistic goal.
My questions:
1. Will the KVM switch work at full resolution of the Macbook Pro and the XP? Will I need to adjust any settings?
2. What should I know about purchasing a KVM switch? What specs are needed to make it work with the single monitor? With the single monitor, keyboard and mouse?
3. What issues, if any, will I experience?
Many thanks in advance!

Input/output sound for MacBook Pro 10.6.8

The sound is not working properly for my narrated powerpoint presentation. I have recorded it on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and I get some sound but it sounds like feedback or something (like a scary phantom voice). I am using the internal microphone and internal speakers. I have checked the sound volume and speech recognition and have calibrated this. I am using powerpoint for Mac 2011 v. 14.4.1. What's happening?
Hoping someone can help, I desperately need it to work!
Thanks in advance.

If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, it'll have come with a DVD. If needed, phone Apple and order a replacement.
Unless you got Mac OS X Server with it, which is highly unlikely for a portable computer, that DVD will contain iLife.

Easy Setup for 24p Question

I have footage shot in standard 24p (F5 on the DVX camera)
I will be editing on a 23.98 timeline
I am also working with some 24pA material, so we're planning to use Cinema Tools to convert the standard 24p material for use in the timeline.
In Easy Setup there is one choice for DV-NTSC
And another DV-NTSC 24p (23.98)
Confusing! Especially since I'm going to be editing in a 23.98 timeline. I know that the material on the tape, whether shot in 24p or 24pADV is 29.98; I'm just confused about which of these capture presets to choose
I knew this information at one point but it has decided to either go to sleep or exit my brain entirely.
thanks for any clarification you can offer

SSD setup for Macbook Pro 2011....confused!

Hi guys
I have just got a Macbook Pro from 2011. (after being a lifelong pc user).
I want to upgrade the hard drives. Would it be better to get a 256 SSD for OS and programs as the main drive, and a larger SSD or HDD as a second drive in place of the cd drive. Or to get one of these new 1tb SSD's and put everything on it. As its SSD would it make a difference in performance to have one big one for everything?
Also, Im struggling with choosing a brand. I seem to be stuck between Samsung and Crucial, mainly the Samsung 840 EVO 1tb vs the Crucial m550 1TB. I have read some things saying that there are problems with the 840 evo on macbooks from 2011, but have read in other places that the 840 evo is better than the crucial.....so confusing!!
If anyone can shed some light on this I will be very grateful!!
Alex

robodelfy,
I've been using Crucial SSDs since I purchased my last MacBook Pro in 2012. I currently have a M500 960GB Crucial SSD in my machine and three Crucial SSDs in a Windows machine. Never had a problem with it.
Although the Samsung 850 Pro is the fastest drive available to consumers, your computer won't be able to take advantage of all that bandwidth. If I were you, I would look at the Crucial M550 1024GB SSD or the Samsung 840 EVO 1024GB SSD. There were some problems with the earlier releases of the EVO drive but I believe that they have been fixed now.
Good luck,
Clinton

VS Express 2013 Setup for kids question

I'm getting ready to setup a lab for 8th graders. We are in a rural area where the majority of students do not have an email. Can we disable the Sign In for them? Is there a way around this without requiring them to have their own MS account in order to
use Visual Studio Express?

Hi Jmair,
You know that the VS2013 express version is free, but it will require us to sign in with the Microsoft account by design， otherwise it would have few days period limitation.
An extension to disable the sign in button.

Slave screen setup for MacBook Pro

Trying to use a dell flat monitor as a slave screen with my MacBook Pro (v10.6.8). Have cords, monitor connected and on, but nothing is on "slave" screen. Would appreciate any tips on how to get it going.
Thanks.

Nothing on the slave meaning (a) the slave screen is black, (b) the slave screen is white, (c) the slave screen has a desktop background without any windows, or (d) something else (what?)?

Please Help Me Complete My Office Setup for My MacBook Pro

Hi all,
OK, here is what I am in the market for:
1. Bluetooth Keyboard
2. Bluetooth Mouse (preferrably rechargeable)
3. External LCD Monitor, DVI (20-24 inch, preferrably 24)
I am looking to spend around or under $600, if possible.
I have a MacBook Pro, 15", 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It is my primary computer. I run both OS X and Vista (via Bootcamp). I have been running Vista much more lately for business purposes.
Basically, I am looking for a setup for when I am sitting at my desk (as opposed to on the couch, for example, where I use my Rain Design iLap).
I am not opposed to having a wired keyboard or mouse either, but I thought bluetooth would save me the hassle of having to plug those in every time I sat down to my desk, in addition to the monitor and power plug.
Thanks.

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way. Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.
