Advice wanted: adding new HD, partitions etc

Hi everyone,
Just a quick request for tips rather than a problem - my G5 is working 100% fantastic.
I've just ordered a new internal hard drive (Deskstar 500GB) for high def video and will install it in the 2nd bay to sit alongside the current 150GB disk. Question is, how should I manage the new capacity?
For example, I've currently got my iTunes library (40GB and growing) and a bunch of QT movies (70GB and growing) on an external firewire drive which I'd like to bring in somewhere.
My system disk is right now at 85GB used, 63GB free but is usually more crowded than that.
I've read that it's good to keep the system disk to maximum 80% (?) usage to allow plenty for VM.
So do I clone my current system disk to the new 500GB monster and use the resulting excess space, together with the freed up 150GB as my FCP area? Or do I perhaps make a partition just for the system on one of the discs - if so, which one would be best and how big is big enough?
Any tips gratefully received!

Hi Jason;
Let me start by saying that I have usually found that partitioning a drive and then using the partitions for productive work ususally leads to lower performance because the are continually being forced to move back and forth between the partitions.
Personally if it were my system, I would leave your system where it is. If you feel that you need more space on your system disk then you can migrate your music library over to the larger disk later. It will not be necessary to partition to do that.

Tutorial or more detailed steps on adding new views, flipside, etc?

I have a working app and would like to add a flipside view, and maybe another view with some docs.
I know there are examples of code already containing extra views, and there is the Xcode "Utility" skeleton one could start from.
But just staring at those examples, where everything is already in place, is not really helping me understand "how do I add extra views to an already existing app?" Sometimes just looking at the entirety doesn't real fill in the blanks on how they got there...
Does anybody know of of a step-by-step tutorial or more detailed docs that specify the exact steps needed to add a view, along with the necessary control elements to switch into that view and back again?
Thanks...
doug

I don't know of anything that fits what you are asking, but basically you need to insert a parent of your existing view. That parent will then be used to add the new view with the animation. So if you have a HomeViewController, you will need to insert a FlipViewController that loads and displays HomeViewController.view as a subview. Then create the new SettingsViewController and when you want to display it, remove HomeViewController.view from FlipViewController and add SettingsViewController as a subview of FlipViewController. Do that with the animation settings you see in the examples. Hope that helps.

[cgse] adding new pools for growth

Hi, CSC:
I'm looking for advice for adding new pools on a single CGSE on a CRS.
My setup (working) is as follows:
- single cgse on a 5.1.3 CRS
- nat44
- abf
- single inside vrf and single outside vrf (default vrf)
- single map address-pool, at this point
i was looking at the documentation and, only starting with XR 5.2, the configuration guide explicitly says that adding 'multiple' pools for nat44 is supported. So here are a few questions:
- is adding multiple address pools to a single inside vrf supported (only) starting with XR 5.2 or can i do this in 5.1?
- i'm assuming multiple pool support means: add several 'map address-pools' commands under the same inside vrf. is this correct?
- say multiple address pools under the same inside vrf is not supported on 5.1. is there a 'soft' way of adding more valid ips (address pool) to the setup? for example, creating a second inside vrf (different serviceapp) and adding it to the same 'service cgn' so that it maps out to one single outside interface?
Thanks a lot!
c.

App Pool details will be persisted in the config database.

Help! I just got a Iphone 4S recently...went to upgrade it thru Itunes. I was asked if I wanted to add a new phone or restore, so I told it to restore. Now I don't have any of my new contacts, messages, etc!! Is there a way to get this info back?

Help, please!! I recently upgraded to a new Iphone 4S from a 3..I could not upgrade the software so plugged it into my pc and connected to Itunes. It asked me if I wanted to use it as a new phone or restore to my phone, (not being very computer literate, I of course chose restore) So now I have a phone that only has info for contacts from October!! I lost all new contacts, messages, etc. Is there a way to get back those contacts, etc? Thanks!

restore your contacts and calendar info from the program you sync with

i want to make recovery partition on my new macbook pro without loosing my data

You already have one. Hold command r keys and boot the machine into it to see.
If your meaning you want another partition to boot your machine normally, like a cloned OS X partition, you can do that this way.
1: Make sure you have less than 50% of your boot OS X partition filled with data, this can be done looking at Activity Monior.
2: Another thing, all the OS X data needs to be on the top part of the drive, to make room at the bottom for the second 50% paritition. You can't always tell this easily but you'll find out shortly.
3: Use Apple's BootCamp software and create the second 50% partition on the drive and then exit it without proceeding further. If it fails or is not large enough, then the #2 above problem is evident and you need to clone and reverse clone from a external drive to shift all the data back up.
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
4: If you have a second 50% partition on the drive, next head to Disk Utility and select the second partition and change it's format to OS X Extended Journaled and the name to Macintosh HD 2 (name optional of course)
5: Next download Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the first partition to the second, make sure it's a PURE CLONE in preferences as the default is to save the states between updates.
6: Reboot the machine holding the option/alt key down, Startup Manager launches and your second boot partition is there.
This method provides a second bootable clone while portable for excellent sofware protection, however if the drive fails both parititions are lost, so external clones on extra hardware are of course needed also.

Adding new fields to the data flow

Hi,
I am currently planning to add some new fields in one DSO and map it (with info source) in the update rules.
Will adding new fields to Info source - Comm. structure affect all the update rules connected to it?
The info source is connected to multiple DSO.
(The data source is currently under enhancement for these fields). Once this is done, we have to replicate it to BW.
Thanks,
Naveen

yes.
Once the enhancement is done for data source in r/3 side, you will have to replicate the datasource in BW.
Adding new fields will deactivate the update rules. You have to map the same in update rule and activate the same.
This will require activation of transformations, update rules, etc for related DSOs. Try to find out the where used list for the DSO where you want to add the new objects. Then check each objects whether these are activate after the changes. If these are inactive, you will have to activate all the objects.
Cheers

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters

After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

Adding new project mask in Production Client

Hi,
I have requirement of adding new project mask code for Production client.
As SAP standard functionality does not allow you to add any new project
mask once you create a project .So if I try to add new mask system will not
show me projects already created and released.Is there any solution to this
problem?
Ranjit

Hi Ranjit,
You did not specify exactly what type of new mask you are adding. For example, maybe you simply need to modify an existing code. You can make two changes to existing codes that have projects created.
1. You can extend the length of the mask to the complete 24 characters, if not already 24 characters.
2. You can change any 0 (numeric only) character in the mask to an X (allows alphanumeric).
The best means to see what project codes are already in use, you should run SE16 for table PROJ and PRPS. You want to view the fields in PROJ-PSPNR and/or PROJ-PSPID as well as PRPS-PSPNR and PRPS-POSID. So, any project code beginning values (A, B, C, etc; 1, 2, 3, etc) displayed cannot be setup as new project codes.
Yes, you could delete the old project codes after archiving the structures, but you also have to (or should) archive any associated financial documents. As the previous responder stated, this is not a trivial task.
Points appreciated....
Regards,
Kent Bettisworth

Windows 7 Setup was unable to create a new system partition

I had windows 7 ultimate installed on a raid striping configuration and one of the hard drives crashed. I bought a new hard drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB) and when I went to reinstall windows 7, I got an error message saying Setup was unable to create
a new system partition blah blah blah. I did a lot of searching around for an answer, wondering if 1TB was too big of a hard drive to do a fresh install on, whether it was formated correctly, etc...
What I eventually found to be the solution was to go into the BIOS and change a setting. Somehow when my old hard drive crashed, the boot priority for hard drives automatically changed so that the first boot priority was one of my external hard drives.
After I changed the boot priority so that the first priority was the hard drive I wanted to install windows 7 on, the installation went smoothly. I think that's why other people had success after removing all external hard drives. After a
couple of reboots the boot priority most likely automatically updated to reflect which hard drives were actually connected.
Anyway, I had a hard time finding this answer, it was frustrating beyond all belief, and I wanted to make it easily available in case it helps anybody else out in the future.

Full server pool crashes when adding new iSCSI server

Hi,
we have a Pool Group with 2 machines (1 Server Pool Master + Server Virtual Machine + Utility Server and another 1 Server Virtual Machine). Both have a iSCSI Shared Disk which builds /OVS partition.
This is working, we can use High Availability, Migrate guests etc.
But when adding new Server Virtual Machines to the pool (with guests running), current machines in the Pools get restarted.
My question is, can server virtual machines be "hot added" to the pool group while guests are running?
Thanks and regards,
Marc

GParted - Resizing boot partition etc.

Hi,
This is what my partitions currently look like:
I'm aiming to have my 'Archroot' partition resized to soak up the ~25GB before it and to have my Archhome partition soak up the 26GB after the swap parition.
The first problem I'm having is that when I went to resize/move the Archroot partition into that space the Gparted gave me warning about me possibly losing data/losing the ability to boot since this partition contains my grub stuff.
The second problem is the fact that my Archhome resize would have to involve removing the swap partition and replacing it again at the end of then newly resized Archhome position. Is it okay to do this?
Also note that the Archroot and Archhome partitions have reasonably important work on them and I don't want to lose any of it.
Thanks in advance,
Huge.

Gparted always pops up warnings like that before it resizes stuff. Personally, I have never lost anything from resizing, but there is always a chance of that happening. I strongly suggest backing up important directories (like /etc and /home) before you do this, just because everyone should back up stuff. You'll thank me later when your disk drives crash.

Deleting swap and making it again later is totally fine, but you will have to do two things: first, type
swapoff -a
This will turn off your swap partition to make sure you aren't using it before you delete it. When you are done making the new swap partition, you will need to edit your /etc/fstab for the swap partition's new location ( /dev/sdbn ). Then just type
swapon -a
and you'll be good to go.

Would love some advice on a new purchase . . .

I want to buy a new laptop. I currently have a 2001 PowerPC G4. 500MHz with 640 RAM. I'd love some advice on a new purchase. Sorry if this gets long-winded.
These are my desires:
(1) A serious upgrade in speed, into the Giga world. I work for a law firm, and I do a lot of research. Lexis-nexis seems to put a serious strain on my G4. I see some of the new models are over 2 gigs. I've read that 2 gigs is not 4x faster than 500Mhz, in the linear sense. Will going from 500 to 2 gigs nevertheless be substantially noticeable.
(2) More memory. In the near future, my employer is going to give its attorneys outside access to our email system and hard drive files. It would seem to me that I'll need to clear as much memory to make room for that. It look like most of the new models have a max space of 2 Ghz. That's more than 3 times the space i currently have. I'd like to think more memory will make my OS run more smoothly. If that's true, I wouldn't mind spending more money to get the biggest memory chip.
(3) I do a lot of word processing. I grew up on Macs (California girl), but I gave up on AppleWorks a couple years ago. I hated it. I purchased Word:Mac and have been very happy with it. Nevertheless, Word:Mac slows me down. Again, that seems to be consistent with the whole need for more speed and memory.
(4) I want wireless connectivity. I assume new Macs come with this capability (Airport?), but I'm not sure if I'll need an upgrade during the buying process. And I really have no idea how buying the airport hardware/software impacts my need what I have to but from my ISP (my cable company).
(5) The 15 inch seems like a nicer upgrade; 17 would be nicer, but I don't need it.
(6) I really don't want to spend more than $2500.00. But I'll spend a little more if it makes sense.
(7) Protection. I've read that Tiger is substantially safer than other OS's. That said, if someone could infect/corrupt/whatever my files (or access client files), that would be a disaster. I've read that Norton slows your down and is unecessary with Tiger.
There's a lot of pretty cool things Mac offers that I DON'T use. Like making movies or the isight stuff. I'm mainly a girl who is either writing, researching, emailing, or reading stuff online.
I'd love some advice. Some of the stuff I've read online has left me with too many questions.
Thanks!
Lindsay

(1) Comparing clock speeds isn't a good way to compare processors. That said, because of various architecture changes, the MBP is probably a solid 8-10 times faster than your G4 system.
(2) Definately max out the RAM. My advice is to get the stock, single 1GB stick from Apple, and then head over to Crucial and buy yourself another stick. It's fairly easy to install, and Apple gives you a step by step guide on the MBP manual. You could have Apple pop in another stick, but it'll cost you more than double what you'll pay by going with Crucial ($300 vs. $135)
(3) Office:Mac will work just fine on your MBP. It might be a little slow to open when you first boot up (6, 7, 8 bounces on the dock), but after that everything starts right up. It should make too much of a difference, but since Office is running through emulation the 2GB will help.
(4) The wirless in an MBP is the same as in every other computer: 802.11B/G compatible. It'll work with any router out there; no need to go out and buy an AirPort router from Apple if you already have one. Then again, at $200, I don't know that I'd ever buy an AirPort. A plain old Linksys for $50 should work just fine...assuming you even need a router.
(5) You said it. The 15" is nice, but the 17" is nicer. The 17" has a few other goodies (a few extra USB ports, a FireWire800 port, an extra FireWire400 port), but unless you have a ton of devices you're plugging in, or an external hard drive you're constantly reading from/writing to, they're a non-factor. If you wanna save some money, go with the 15"; if you wanna live a little, the 17".
(6) On the laptop itself, that shouldn't be a problem. You can get yourself a nice 15" with AppleCare for right around what you're looking to spend. Of course, depending on what addons and software you get (MS Office, a bag, mouse, etc.), you're probably looking at closer to $3000.
(7) You hit it right on the head. There's really not much you need to do. Turn on the firewall built into OS X; make sure your router is secure (MAC address filtering, strong pass code, WPA2 encryption); and make sure you change your passwords every so often (every month or two should be more than sufficient). While it's not entirely necessary, based on your line of work it, it would probably be wise to get yourself an external hard drive (HDD) onto which you can backup your files. A MyBook from Western Digital wouldn't be a bad idea. If you go with the 17", get the Pro edition for higher speeds with FireWire 800. If you go with the 15", get the Premium. And, to save some money, buy through Amazon.com
Some suggestions on what you should get to compliment your MBP:
The first is a nice bag to carry it in. I personally like Marware's black italian leather CEO Milano. But if you're not into leather or don't want to spend that kind of money (why money would be a problem when buying a $3000 computer, I don't know...), then check out Brenthaven. They have some quality bags with plenty of storage for all your gadgets and whatnot.
The second thing you needs is AppleCare. While I personally find it ridiculous that a person who just bought a $3000 computer doesn't get at least a years worth of tech support, AppleCare is well worth the money. It extends your tech over the phone tech support from 90 days to 3 years and your warranty from 1 year to 3.
Apple's tech support is second to none (and they actually speak english ), and the extended warranty is a must. The best part of all is being able to take your computer to the Genius Bar in an Apple store. There's nothing quite like being able to walk into a store and have a living, breathing person help you. No crappy music while your put on hold, no having follow directions over a phone... you just give your Mac to a genius and let them do all the work.
If for whatever reason you're unsure about getting AppleCare, you don't have to buy it right now. So long as you buy it and register your MBP within the initial warranty period (1 year), you're all set. So, feel free to try out AppleCare under your current warranty before you drop $300 or so on the extended AppleCare.
The final thing that I recommend you buy, especially if you plan on having this baby on your lap, is a cooler. That is, a laptop tray with fans to provide some extra cooling capacity. Your MBP (or any other laptop/portable, for that matter) sits on top of, or attaches to, the cooler and provides power to the fans via USB cable. I don't know that you'll be getting any burns if you use this thing on your lap without a cooler (or any kind of tray, for that matter), but it certainly isn't comfortable.
As for particular brands/models, I can't really give you one. These things are put out by a lot of smaller companies, and come in so many different variations that it's hard to keep track of. For example, the website I bought mine from no longer exists and I've yet to see anything else that quite resembles what I have. That's not to say these things aren't quality, but don't go looking for something from a name brand company. All I can say to do is search on Google or Froogle for laptop cooler. On the bright side, you'll find plenty of coolers to choose from and you'll have something totally unique.
Well, that covers the three musts. There other various things that you may or may not like...maybe a Marware protection pack or a mouse...but it's really a matter of preference from here on out. Personally, the only other thing I'm getting is a mouse. I've never been a fan of trackpads. I much prefer using a mouse, especially if I'm at a desk writing a paper or doing research. But that's just me...
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck, and enjoy your MBP!
