Advice for Soon-to-be MacPro Owner. Need Recs for Best Practices...

I'll be getting a Quad Core 3 Ghz with 1GB of RAM, a 250Gig HD, the ATI X1900 card. It will be my first mac after five years (replacing a well-used G4 Tibook 1Ghz).
First the pressing questions: Thanks to the advice of many on this board, I'll be buying 4GB of RAM from Crucial (and upgrading the HD down the road when needs warrant).
1) Am I able to add the new RAM with the 1G that the system comes with? Or will they be incompatible, requiring me to uninstall the shipped RAM?
Another HUGE issue I've been struggling with is whether or not to batch migrate the entire MacPro with everything that's on my TiBook. I have so many legacy apps, fonts that I probably don't use any more and probably have contributed to intermittent crashes and performance issues. I'm leaning towards fresh installs of my most crucial apps: photoshop w/ plugins, lightroom, firefox with extensions and just slowly and systematically re-installing software as the need arises.
Apart from that...I'd like to get a consensus as to new system best practices. What should I be doing/buying to ensure and establish a clean, maintenance-lite, high-performance running machine?

I believe you will end up with 2x512mb ram from the Apple store. If you want to add 4gb more you'll want to get 4x1gb ram sticks. 5gb ram is never an "optimal" amount but people talk like it's bad or something but it's simply that the last gig of ram isn't accessed quite as fast. You'll want to change the placement so the 4x1 sticks are "first" and will be all paired up nicely so your other two 512 sticks only get accessed when needed. A little searching here will turn up explanations for how best to populate the ram for your situation. It's still better to have 5 gigs where the 5th gig of ram isn't quite as fast than 4. They will not be incompatible but you WILL want to uninstall the original RAM, then put in the 4gigs into the optimal slots then add the other two 512 chips.
Do fresh installs. Absolutely. Then only add those fonts that you really need. If you use a ton of fonts I'd get some font checking app that will verify them.
I don't use RAID for my home machine. I use 4 internal 500gig drives. One is my boot, the other is my data (although it is now full and I'll be adding a pair of external FW). Each HD has a mirror backup drive. I use SuperDuper to create a clone of my Boot drive only after a period of a week or two of rock solid performance following any system update. Then I don't touch it till another update or installation of an app followed by a few weeks of solid performance with all of my critical apps. That allows me to update quicktime or a security update without concern...because some of those updates really cause havoc with people. If I have a problem (and it has happened) I just boot from my other drive and clone that known-good drive back to the other. I also backup my data drive "manually" with Superduper.
You will get higher performance with Raid of course, but doing that requires three drives (two for performance and one for backup) just for data-scratch, as well as two more for boot and backup of boot. Some folks can fit all their boot and data on one drive but photoshop and many other apps (FCP) really prefer data to be on a separate disk. My setup isn't the absolute fastest, but for me it's a very solid, low maintenance,good performing setup.

  • Need help about best practices - Add DI or add WP

    Hello Experts,
    I am facing on a strategic problem.
    We want to add new application Server (= Instance Dialog) to our CI/DB.
    But I am note sure that is the good way!
    Is it better to add New Work Process in existing Dialog Instance?
    Or, should we create another DI in the same physical host?
    I have to explain the both scenarii with features.
    Could you please help me to have the best practice in this situation.

    Hi Sunil,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. We have Sap ECC6 u2013 AIX 5.3. Today we have 3 AS (2 Linux sans one Aix). The goal is to eliminate the Aix AS. In each AS we have 5O WP. What is the highest number of WP allowed?
    And we have two opinion within my company :
    ==> The first is we have to add another AS in the same server than existing one. It was justified by the fact that we have enough available memory!
    ==> The second is to increase the both linux AS by adding 25 WP by AS. I am not sure but I read that the WP limitation number is 600! Is it right.
    Thanks a lot for your help

  • Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls.  After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url.  Need help.

    Hi
    Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

    Pallavi,
    Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
    The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

  • Airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro., airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro.

    I have a MACPRO, LION (10.7.2).
    It used to work with an airport express.
    My iphone works with the express, my wfie's macpro works with it, but mine seems to have quit
    recognizing it as something with which to play music, so the option to select airport express
    in itunes no longer is there.

    I'd first try cycling power on the AirPort Express.  If that doesn't help, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases.  We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

    We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app.  he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday.  Needless to say i don;t beleive him.  Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

    I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
    The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.

  • Linking Word Docs in RH8 - Need Workflow Critique, Best Practices Tips, etc.

    Me: TCS 2
    Writer 2: Word 97, Acrobat Pro 8
    Software industry
    Help File Specs: Using RH8 to output to AIR Help (prior to current project = CHM), approx. 500 topic legacy help system (apparently created several years ago from the Word U.G; no CSH, index, or glossary); project uses one master page and one CSS
    Project Challenges: Big new features being added at the 9th hour, deadline moved UP by two months, have just been given a writer to help document new features but she only has Word and Acrobat (and we both work from our home offices)
    After reading everything in the RH Help on Linking Word docs, Peter's info (RH8 Tour on Grainge.org), the related posts I found here, and watching RJ's demo on Linking vs. Importing, I've come up with a tentative workflow. Going to do some tests, but wanted to get this posted in the meantime.
    Workflow
    1. Generate separate Word file for each of the existing RH topics Writer 2 will need to update.
    2. Apply template to Word files that matches my CSS styles (?)
    3. Create Word template matching my CSS styles for Writer 2 to use for new topics.
    4. Writer 2 updates/creates content. Each Word file =One RH Topic.
    5. I delete the existing topics she now "owns" from the project.
    6. When she's done with her first pass, I link all of these into the project.
    7. When she supplies revised files, I drop them into the folder, then do "Update" (or "Force Update"?)
    8. She also supplies a commented PDF version of each file to me to say "XYZ.jpg goes here" or "Make sure to include this topic in the TOC". (From what I've read, images from Word to RH = headache, and I don't enjoy files names such as "Image0001"...already a big pain since this project originated in Word and my client is in love with screen captures...trying to "wean" them off.)
    Questions/Comments
    - I know you can bring TOC entries over from Word, but think I'll spend more time messing with trying to integrate into the "master" TOC than just manually doing it.
    - Can I just have Writer 2 use the Word Comments feature to pass info on to me, or would those show up in my output or cause some other issue?
    - Can Writer 2 use Word cross-references that would become hyperlinks to the correct topics in RH given above (or would all of her "topics" have to be in one Word file to do this)? Any way she can "code" text to end up creating a link to one of my topics, or am I going to have to do this?
    - Would I be better off generating one big Word file for her to edit, then telling RH to break it at a certain heading style instead of the 1-to-1 ratio I had in mind?

    Hi there
    In my own opinion, Panning is a nice attempt, but just doesn't cut the mustard. It's nowhere near as good as the panning one sees with Camtasia Studio.
    I might suggest combining Camtasia with Captivate for the ultimate development set. There are aspects Captivate shines in when compared with Camtasia, and there are aspects Camtasia shines in when compared with Captivate. So I say if you can afford it, go for it!
    Now I know that both packages are sort of pricey and not everyone can afford both. In that case you might want to try Jing, which is free to use. I've not looked very deeply at it, but it may offer some of what Camtasia does. You could then use that for your panning and enhance Captivate that way.

  • Pacman.conf NEED tips for totally offline install with DVD repository

    OBJECTIVE: after a base install with ARCHBOOT be able to install from DVD repository which contains repo-add database.
    My DVD contains the folder from /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
    ON the DVD I have the folder 'pkg' at the dvd root level and another folder which has my already built packages fro AUR.
    The database called 'custom.db.tar.gz' created with repo-add exists IN the pkg folder on the DVD.
    The built AUR packages are in a seperate folder called '_built' at the dvd's root level as well and they are not included in the repo-add database.
    I am able to mount the dvd, cd to the pkg folder and use  pacman -Ud to install them though this requires that I type in the full name of the package and I get dependence issues and '*.so' type files not found.
    IF I copy all the files from the DVD to the var/cache/pacman/pkg folder I am able to add my local repository to pacman.conf and MUCH more efficient install. I can use pacman -S xorg for example, and I think it finds dependencies even. Can't recall exactly at the moment.
    SO: do I need to alter pacman.conf  cache location line and the other lines?
    Would I change the 2nd and 3rd lines to get max pacman ability when using DVD repository???
    Pointing them to my DVD folder after mounting the dvd
    #RootDir     = /
    #DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
    #CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
    #LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
    I really would like to have as much power and flexibility when using the DVD as the repo.
    Can anyone tell me what I should alter in pacman.conf for this.
    I am fine if I have to alter the cache location line temporarily if it will give me additional pacman ability.
    I have read all the wiki stuff for sure though I'm still a bit in the dark and wanted to ask without typing the many many options.
    One big one for me is I don't yet know how to set the SERVER = in pacman.com to look at the mounted DVD and the pkg folder specifically.
    I do mount /dev/sr0  /mnt/cdrom
    So what would I put as the SERVER for this in pacman.conf
    SERVER = /dev/sr0   ?????   or   /dev/cdrom  ????    or /mnt/cdrom I think ????
    dunno!
    AND I really probably DO have to temporarily alter the pacman.conf  cache location line to get pacman to do dependency installs and let me type short lines instead of the full package name.
    THANKS! this one is BIG for me!!!!! :---)

    COMMENT WRITTEN LAST: I was about to delete a lot of stuff here though thought to just say sorry for not taking the brain-time to slim it. The bold and white boxed part is the main related quest-ion.
    you might find a few useful tools on my site (in my sig), e.g. pkgd if you want to save bandwidth on a LAN --- pbget if you want to easily get PKGBUILDs etc from the AUR and official repos, etc.
    WOW Xyne !!!! thanks.  pbget etc. sound very cool.
    I used yaourt until very recently. Then went ....hmmmm... should learn about manual building and local repo. Where I'm at now is trying to do as much manually as possible. I think I kinda know what packages I want and there will only be some changes from that in the future. There's maybe 20 packages from AUR for me. [PLUS their dependencies]
    Of course: I am doing the repo-add local repositories thing for speed, learning, and as part of my whole 'best practices' growth. Plus it will come in very handy when helping other decide quickly if a barbones mainly wm/ncurses lightweight system is for them.
    You certainly spark a question or two!
    [AUR and dependencies via yaourt affecting my plans to now go manually]
    As these have all ALREADY been installed via yaourt my BIG concern is that I've never found much of a yaourt/cache folder. You see, as you'd know many many times upon installing vai yaourt there's some dependency that may, or I guess, may not be in the standard repos.
    After installing these packages via yaourt do the dependencies go into /var/cache/pacman.pkg and is pacman aware of it when I do a repo-add for thecustom database. If so, then all if fairly cool for my plans. I bet there's a few idiosyncrasies about AUR and dependencies maybe.
    -AUR dependency resolution-
    Using a custom repo will not really work for general use because you would need to manually populate the database with the dependencies anyway.
    I'm fine with manually doing dependencies - though need to know if my yaourt usage ALREADY put the latest dependencies in the pacman cache for AUR unsupported packages AND is there a way with the whole repo-add, local repositry, pacman and aur concpt I'm planning to fine tune to have the dependencies update when I go back to the online repositries? I don't think so based on my usage with yaourt, though can't quite recall.
    As I will be enjoying makepkg building the group of packages I nee to get from AUR for the forseeable future (that are not in the main 3 repos of course)
    I'm still wondering about the inter-relationships. So: I already have installed and/or built the packages for everything I expect to need mostly.   I never became beyone mediocre with yaourt.  and that fine, though I now have to consider that in a new install I DO have the latest AUR built packages, though will there be the right dependencies ALREADY in my /var/cache/pacman/pkg ?
    There's a few things that I'd love to really understand about this. Even if it ends up that dependencies for the AUR packages is always a bit trickier.
    QUESTION: right now I am uable to try custom repo from flash stick as it's read only. I'll be googling this one out and am really looking forward to having a flash stick with ARCHBOOT and I gues ONE repo pkg folder and database on it.
    NOTE: I will put the custom repo above the stock ones in pacman.conf. I just commented out the others as I was doing all this offline.
    I've dumped the dvd as a repo and have switched to a flash stick.  I've extracted the archboot out to a 4 gig flash stick.
    dd if=/root/Desktop/archlinux-2009.05-2-archboot.iso of=/dev/sdb  Its read-only at the moment and no matter what I've tried it stays that way. Maybe I need to use the HPutil on it. It definitely isn't writeable so I won't ponder or note observations here save to say that 'm stumped as to how to get files copied to it.
    And now what may be the way I'd like to work:    Keep my folder for building packages from aur which is /root/aur. Then after doing the fun makepkg --asroot   or even makepg -i as root to install. Though I'll probably after the build THEN just copy the built packages from my /root/aur to /var/cache/pacman/pkg   and install from there as I DO plan to use the online repos.
    I will ALSO copy the file to my USB stick or maybe just sync to it and do a the repo-add thing in   /var/cache/pacman/pkg   and keep the stick as both backup and 'in the ready' reinstaller.
    Um, now  could spend an hour editing down the above!!!
    wondrous thanks!

  • Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

    hi
    we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
    Requirements
    + all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
    +handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
    + the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
    Current Solution
    at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
    - allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
    - all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
    - you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
    the problem however is that the users also need to access this...
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi Aleksei,
    I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
    A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
    Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
    But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
    to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

  • Best practiceS for setting up Macs on Network

    Greetings.
    We have six Macs on our Windows Server network; three iMacs and three laptops. We have set up all the machines and they are joined to the Active Directory. In the past, we have always created local users on the machines and then "browsed" to the server shares and mounted the them. We've learned things have improved/changed over the years and we're just now realizing we can probably have the machines set up to work better. So, I have a couple of questions for "best practices" when setting up each of the machines.
    1. Since we’re in a network environment, should we not set up “local logins/users” and instead have users login using their AD login? It seems having a local account creates some conflicts with the server since upgrading to lion.
    2. Should we set the computer to not ask for a “list of users” and instead ask for a username and password for logins?
    3. For the user that uses the machine most often, they can still customize their desktop when they use an AD login, correct?
    4. Should we set up Mobile User Accounts? What exactly does this do?
    Any other advice on how we should best be setting up the clients for our environment to make sure we are following best practices would be great!
    Thanks for any help!

  • Best Practice for Mass Deleting Transactions

    Hi Gurus
    Can you please guide on this - We need to mass delete Leads from the system. I can use Crm_Order_Delete FM. But want to know if there are any best practices to follow, or anything else that i should consider before deleting these transactions from the system.
    We have our archiving policy under discussion which may take some time, but due to large volume of reduntatn data we have some performance issues. For example when searching for leads and using ACE, the system goes through all the lead data.
    That is the reason we are plannign to delete those old records. My concerns is that using CRM_ORDER_DELETE, would it clear all the tables for those deleted transactions and if there are any best practices to follow.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Best Practice for PDF print forms based on SAP standard

    Hi,
    I have copied the SAP standard PDF form F_D_INT_SCALE_00 to a Z form, and am using it in conjunction with the standard print program RFDZIS01_PDF.  However I need to output some additional fields that are not supplied by the print program / interface (for example Customer VAT number).
    What is the best practice for achieving this?  As far as I can see the only way is to take a copy of the standard print program and modify it to select the extra data, and modify the interface.  I never like taking copies of standard programs though for obvious reasons.
    If I had this requirement with a smartform it would be a simple case of embedding ABAP code into the Z smartform and leaving the print program alone, but unfortunately there is no provision for the non-PDF version of the Interest Letter to be sent by email.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vindaloo

    Thanks for your reply Robert.
    However I think you are referring to Smartforms when you mention Code Initialization and Global Data declarations.  I need to know the best way to modify copies of standard Adobe Print Forms.

    But you can use Best Practice Chemicals with SAP IS-Oil for the non IS-Oil functionality as well.
    Best Practice Chemicals gives you benefits within standard business processes, but for the
