ADVICE NEEDED about moving from OSX3.9 to TIGER 4.

HI
My position is:
1. Ive got OSX 3.9 on my emac. Ive got alot of apps installed.
2. Ive got my HOME folder, APPLICATION folder & ADDRESS BOOK backed up
on an external HD.
3. I've got a cloned bootable (skeletal) copy of my internal HD backed up to
an external HD.
My Concerns are:
1. If i install tiger 10.4 from a disc, am i going to have problems syncing my
backed up folders to the new operating system ? Will all my backed up
apps & home folder be placed in the Tiger without any problems ?
2. Is this ( all the above details) the best set up for me to move from 10.3.9
to 10.4 ?
3. I'm concerned about how many of my apps which work okay on 10.3.9
are going to NOT work on TIGER 10.4 . Is there any info about this
discepency between apps & app versions which no longer run on 10.4 ?
My worst case scenario is that if i switch, i risk having to replace alot of
the apps i've come to rely on.
Thanks for your help folks

Hi didier,
first make sure you buy the retail full install DVD! Then follow this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist .
If you follow that step-by-step there should not be any problems and you won't loose anything. The simple upgrade option does not move any application or document. Everything stays were it was.
There are only very few and very specialised applications that do not work with 10.4. All standard apps work flawlessly.

Coding advice needed for moving from CHM to 'true' Online Help

Apologies in advance if this is the incorrect forum for these questions. Apologies also if this is a little off-topic; I’m a tech-writer, and I use RoboHelp, but my questions are related to the underlying code that calls my Help files.
Currently we produce Help in RoboHelp 10, exporting it as a CHM, and we’re looking to provide this content online.
Our applications are written in a combination of VO (Visual Objects) and .NET (we’re slowly moving all the content over to .NET). This means that some of the Context ID calls to the Help .CHM are written in VO, others in .NET.
The plan is to modify these calls so that instead of calling a CHM file, they point to a web page address. Can anyone point me in the direction of some help regarding this? I’d really love to see some coding examples of where others are doing this same call to a web page.
The majority of our users have permanent online access. However, there are occasions where they might do an export of a patient’s data (our users are Doctors) and travel on-site, doing a ‘home visit’ for example. We have numerous users who live in remote regions of the country where there is poor or no Internet access. In such circumstances we need the code to detect that there’s no Internet access, and instead of trying to call a web page of Help content, the included local CHM file is called instead (i.e. the ‘traditional’ method of using a Context ID to display a locally-stored CHM Help file). Has anyone done this? I’d really like to see some code examples.

Colum is correct that WebHelp will give you an online help format but it will not be viewable from your server without a connection and that is one of your requirements. What you are looking for is known as Airplane help so that the user gets the latest online help when they have a connection and a perhaps older version when they are not.
How to do that with AIR Help is described on my site but my concern in pointing you in that direction is that I have not seen any new development on that help format. You need the same option with WebHelp and CHM help. I don't have a workflow for setting that up.
There is general information about calling help on my site and you will also find very good information at http://www.wvanweelden.eu

Need Help moving from mac to Windows

I did search the forum, but could not find it, so I thought I will ask.
I have to move from PowerBook to a Windows XP machine. (I see lots of threads moving from mac to windows but not otherway around).
How do I move the iTunes music. I want to keep the ratings, don't want to redo the ratings for 1000+ songs.
If it was previously asked and answered, please point me towards that thread.

Folks,
Sorry for the redundant post. I had problem doing this, and was able to make it work. The trick was renaming the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl (with the extension).
Once I did that, it works well.
Thanks

Advice needed about JFrame and JDialog (moved from java programming)

My main class in my application is a page where the user can choose to register or login. This class is a JFrame. If the user chooses to register, my register dialog is called up and the parent JFrame passed to the dialog:
private void btnRegister_actionPerformed()
new Register(this);
}Same happens for login. If the user chooses to login, my login dialog comes up and my main class JFrame is set as its parent. This is all fine because all the calling up is done in my main class, so i can just use 'this' to pass the JFrame.
Now here is my problem. If the user successfully logs in, they should have access to control some events. Now i am not sure if it will be ok to make this new events class another JFrame, as it is practically the start of a new section in my application.
Thats my first question. My second question is if i do make this events class a JDialog, is it bad coding not to give it a parent frame? Or would this be acceptable? My worries is passing the main class JFrame to a class which is only accessable by going through two other classes.
Cheers for the advice

It's Simple dude,
Advice: Use JIternalFrame, for your purpose.
And if u want to go with JDialog than u can do that in main method. Like when u call JDialog
Register dialog = new Register(this);Check for login in Register class or what ever u want. Create new method like success
private boolean isSuccess() {
return success;
} at Register Class. After Registeration change the variable boolean success value to true or false as per logic
And add
Register dialog = new Register(this);
if(dialog.isSuccess()) {
// Show loginDialg(this) or else
}Regards,

Advice needed about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1

Please can I have some advice about lens correction plugin's for Aperture 2.1?
I see that the Apple Aperture Downloads site promotes two:
1)LensFix 4.3
An external editor. The Aperture Downloads site calls it Lens Fix 4.3 but when you go the developers site (Kekus Digital) it only shows LensFix CI is this the same thing? Am I supposed to download the PTLens database from epaperpress.com and install manually before it is any good?
OR
2)Edit FixLens 1.6
Their site looks very poorly designed and the link from the Apple page does not go to the Aperture plugin, you have to drill down until you find it! Does it use the exif data about your lens and the zoom setting it was on automatically or do you need to configure it each time?
Which one did you buy? Was it worth it?
Thanks for your time!

LensFix CI is the same thing. It has the standalone version, the PS plug-in and the Aperture plug-in.
I've used LensFix via PS for a long time. It's great but... it can be a bit buggy if the image in use is 16-bit. Often it will work on the first image or two and then crash on the next.
I am told it's not compatible with PS CS4.
Another option is PTLens. It's also a PS plug-in and an Aperture plug-in. It's supposed to be CS4 compatible.
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html
It uses the same database of lens corrections as LensFix.
FWIW, I've tended to do this kind of work in Photoshop, either round tripping an image in Aperture or exporting an image from Aperture. Since Aperture plug-ins are going to 16-bit Tiff files anyway and since most images (if they are final files for clients) need some more PS work, I just go that route.

Advice Needed: Upgrade Path from ZCM 11.0 to 11.2

We are currently running 3 primary ZCM servers at 11.0. The database server is running Server 2003 and SQL 2005, the reporting server is running Server 2003, and the content repository server that we use for imaging is Server 2008 R2. We are looking to upgrade to ZCM 11.2. We want to move the database to a stand alone SQL server running Server 2008 and SQL 2008 R2. I also want to upgrade the environment to have the OS at Server 2008R2. What is the best way to go about this?
This is what is being discussed. Moving the SQL Server first. Upgrading ZCM to 11.2 on all servers. Bringing up a new server running 2008r2 and zcm 11.2 and setting it as Primary. Then retiring the two 2003 servers. Does this make sense? ALso needs to be done before August 1st so any advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

How do I go about moving from a Macbook to a iMac with NAS when my home folder is too big to fit on the 250 GB SSD?

So I've grown out of my hard drive and am moving to an SSD. It's only 250 GB while my new NAS will be 10 TB.
Here is my old setup:
Internal HD 750 GB
546.91 GB Home Folder
30.53 GB music folder
91 GB picture folder
335.7 GB movie folder 258 GB of movies and tv shows
External HD’s
650 GB of photos
350 GB of music
New HD Setup
250GB SSD (for applications and system)
2 3TB WD Red HD's
2 2TB WD Drives
I am most worried about migrating my data. My home folder is too large to just throw on the SSD.

Questions about moving from Mobile Me to iCloud

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS5 and am curious about the move to iCloud for my mobileme account. I know there are articles out there, but they seem very generic and do not put my fears to rest.
Here are my questions and concerns. I figure they will be easy for a lot of you to answer, but I need to pose them before I make the jump.
1.) Do I need Lion to move to iCloud? (from the articles I read I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I thought I'd clarify)
2.) I have more than one mobileme account that has calendars and mail synced on my computer. If I upgrade one account do I have to upgrade the other at the same time for iCal and Mail to work?
3.) My husband's mobileme account syncs his work calendar. It is very important that I don't lose his information and that his calendar works flawlessly after the upgrade. Has anyone run into problems with the calendar syncing? I will not move anyone's accounts if iCloud is still experiencing a lot of bugs. I will of course make a backup copy of his calendar before upgrading, but his calendar changes often and is synced to two iMacs, a Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, an iPad and an iPhone it will not be practical to keep track of his calendar and if it is syncing properly.
4.) How do I actually make the switch to iCloud once I make up my mind to do it? My Phone told me to sign into me.com to do this, but when I signed in I didn't see how to say that I wanted to use the iCloud. Maybe this is because I haven't upgraded to Lion yet?
Thanks!

I am curious about the comment you can only use one iCloud account at a time. Right now I have my moblieme calendar and my husband's mobileme calendar both visible in iCal. That is very convenient for us because then he doesn't have to open up a separate user on the iMac just to check his calendar (this is our home computer that is mainly mine). Are you telling me that I won't be able to use both CalDAV accounts in iCal anymore? Will it force me to use only one?
Most of our music and videos was purchased under my .mac account, so iTunes isn't a problem, but we like to share one user on the computer and still be able to see both our calendars and e-mail.

Advice needed to switch from Trial WS2012 to live version.

Hi,
I'm new to Windows Server OS & powershell, but facing a problem now.
With my trial WS2012 R2 as DC & AD, I've converted one of my client PCs from Win7 workgroup to domain.
Now I've prepared my actual WS2012 R2 in a new PC, with every setting the same as the trial version (Computer ID, domain name & IP). And added the client PC into the domain again. Thinking of a quick change over.
Just when I thought it can be easily done with a 1-to-1 replacement, my client PC created another new account when links to actual WS2012. With same domain and username again, but in another folder.
Now in my Client Win7, I have under Users folder:
1. Orginal account folder for workgroup: MyName folder.
2. After converting to domain in Trial WS2012: new MyName.MyDomain account folder.
3. After replacing to actual WS2012: another new MyName.MyDomain.000 account folder created. And files from MyName.MyDomain folder are not accessible.
Why doesn't it link up with MyName.MyDomain account folder?
I don't wish to convert the trial WS2012 to live because it was installed in an old hard disk.
I wonder will migration procedure helps. Any advice to resolve it? Thanks.

You stated in your original post that you created a new domain with all the settings the same as what you created in your original domain. That really does not make any difference because you created a new domain. Each new domain creates a new
identity. If you wanted to have everything remain the same, what you should have done was build your second server, join it to the existing domain, promote it to a Domain Controller. When it becomes a domain controller, all the information in the
existing domain is replicated to any new domain controller. After the replication completes (in your environment it would be done almost immediately), you can remove the original domain controller. At that point, your PC would have been able to
log into the exact same account as you did with the second installation and you would not have ended up with a third profile.
As for recovery of a failed server, that's what backups are for. You can use a backup tool, such as Windows Server Backup that comes as part of the operating system, to create an offline backup of your domain controller. Recommendation is to
keep this up to date; that is, take regular backups.
A second method is to have at least two servers in your environment running as domain controllers. This generally applies to shops that have more than a single server. That way if one Domain Controller goes down, the other one remains to service
requests. It does not preclude the need to take backups.

Advice needed about slow broadband speed

Hi there,
I was wondering if you could help me. I live in the countryside and wouldn't you guess it, I get slow internet speeds. Obviously I don't expect superfast broadband but I just want to see if there is any other reason to my slow speeds other then my distance from the exchange (which I believe is 4.3Km, a long distance I know).
I am posting my router statistics (BT HomeHub 3) and the BT Wholesale Performance test report. Essentially I am curious whether old wiring or noise on the line is playing an issue. I'm certainly no expert but my home is quite old and I'm not sure when the wiring was installed so I'd really appreciate any advice. I've also just emailed BT Customer support about resetting the IP Profile as it has been extremely slow ever since the outages due to last weeks weather playing havoc. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Advice needed to upgrade from A2 to A3 AND move machines simultaneously

Hi, I have A2 on my Macbook Air and have just bought a new iMac and upgrade to A3.
I'm trying to work out the cleanest way to upgrade and would be grateful for your advice please
1. Can I just install A3 on the iMac? Will the licensing model let me do that (ie how will it know I'm upgrading)
2. Assuming I can do this, will it be able to recognise and 'migrate' my A2 library if I transfer it across using my external drive?
3. Or do I have to install A2 on the iMac, then upgrade it to A3 which will then naturally migrate my A2 library.
Option 3 does not feel as 'clean' hence my question
Many thanks!

When you install the A3 upgrade version on the new iMac you will be asked for the serial number from the A2 full version.
As your library is quite small you could just copy it to the new machine (/Pictures directory usually) and then open it with A3. It will be converted to A3 format which could take some time. It is also non reversible so you should keep a copy of the A2 library on the old machine until you are happy with A3.
You certainly don't need to install A2 first on the new iMac before installing A3.
Stating the obvious here but make sure you have a backup (vault) of your library before doing anything!

Advice needed about potential AEBS

i have a small (at the moment) home network.
ADSL router, mini, xp machine.
common situtaion , I have a newly formed and growing familiy who are soon going to want access for thier PS3/XBOX360 (insert any other electro toy).. to the web and my mp3/photo/movie repository.
Currently the mini is connected to the plasma tv in the lounge and serves all files (just to the xp machine and itself).
My 3 FW disks are starting to clutter up the back of the tv area!... the plan is to maybe buy a AEBS, Cat5 the entire house and create a media library in the loft.
i.e. AEBS with hub and disks connected ... cat5 to a hub somewhere............
This will give me wireless (for the garage) and file sharing to everyone on the network.
BUT
is a single usb link to my ethernet via the AEBS going to have enough bandwidth to share out my media repository to say 5 clients (mp3s, photos and say SD video).
I suppose I have the option of NAS expansion on the AEBS if I want to.....
just looking for anybody whoes done/doing this???
ta
Steve

if I populate say a couple of 500gig disks onto a AEBS via a usb hub and format them for HFS+, will I still have native disk access from a xp machine i.e. without having to install macdisk or similar?
Yes. The data served over the network is in no way related to how the disk is formatted. Only the file server directly connected to the disk (in this case the AEBS) needs to understand the disk format.
will the xp machine need bonjour installed?
Yes

Advice needed about Bluetooth

HI to everyone. I had a very weird situation a few weeks ago when I discovered that the Bluetooth had been activated. I don't use it and don't know much about its Function apart from it's a security issue and it links with other devices in the area. I'm very concerned that something could have been added to the pad but don't know where to start looking? Any help is much appreciated!

You do not have, IMHO, anything at all to worry about. Bluetooth is used to connect certain devices (mouse, keyboard' for example). The range is about 30 feet (10 meters). It cannot be used to penetrate a network, for example. If a Bluetooth device was, somehow, able to connect to your system, it would not have passwords, etc. to be able to do anything. Bluetooth is not, again IMHO, any kind of security issue.
if you do not use it, turn it off.

Quick Question about Moving from iPod Touch 2G to iPhone 4

I've had an iPod Touch for just over 2 years and am planning to get the Verizon iPhone 4 as soon as it is released. Does anyone know if I will be able to move all my apps with their data to the iPhone? For example, I have a weight watcher type app where I have been recording what I eat, weight loss, etc for months. I'd like to bring that information with me. Plus my game scores and levels I've beaten, etc. Before, when I have plugged in a new device iTunes has asked me if I want to restore data from my iPod 2G backup or from my iPad backup. If I do that, will it give me the desired result?

Ignore the previous post, as it's quite obvious the poster has no idea what they are talking about. App data is stored in your touch backups. Restoring your new phone from that backup will restore the data to your new phone. Follow the directions here:

Help or Advice needed about converting my movies... i think?!! Thanx!

Hi, hope someone can help...
I'm not a real web designer but over the last few years I've taught myself how to make web pages & do some coding so that I can make basic sites & galleries for me & my girls...
Well I've just realized what a huge collection of movies we've got now, and I've started putting them on to web pages - they are WMV...
But half the time they don't work, especially on a MAC ect...
Then i came across this blog at Lady Sonia dot net and all her movie clips work perfectly, all on the same page, and when i right-clicked them they say
'about adobe flash player 10'
So my question is would anyone be kind enuff to tell me how I can change all our wmv movie clips into whatever they need to be so they work like that???
or maybe someone does that kind of job and i could pay sum1 to do them for me???!!! lol
I doubt anyone wants to do that lol so in that case would anyone point me to the help page I need to read for this exact issue, because I have tried F1 as many people on here say and it took me to firefox and was no help at all, i've been searching flash help sites all night and i have no idea what i'm reading its soooo confusing, so if anyone knows a place they can point me to that would be really great!
Thanx!
xxx Honey xxx

Hey thanx for explaining - and for helping now!
Ok the code is pasted below, but what i actually did was in dreamweaver
> insert media > insert flash > inserted the flash clip
but that didnt work, so i tried
insert media > insert plugin > insert the FLV movie clip
but it says
'unable to find the plugin that handles this type of media'
altho i now have 2 clips playing automatically!!!
