Another MBA and remote disc problem... HELP ME!!!

This is a last ditch attempt before backing over my mba with my car...
I'm trying to do an erase and install using the remote disc... it starts out great, i put the disc in my other computer, a pc, (which has worked just fine before as a remote disc). I follow the directions, select the disc i want to use, tell the pc to use airpart, restart the mac holding the options key, connect the mac to the network, click the arrow under the startup disc on the mba then WHAM! end of communication... the mba freezes for a few moments before rebooting like normal, while the status screen on the pc still says it is waiting for the mba to connect, i've tried over and over and over and the same thing happens each and every time, i don't know what's going wrong... please someone help me out here.

Plug both computers, your MBA and the one sharing the install disk into an Ethernet network. Wireless is a nice idea, but terribly unstable for any significant reinstall or restore. Of course, you will need the USB/Ethernet dongle for you MBA. if you have a time capsule, restores work wonderfully this way if you plug both computers into it. dont even try to use a USB hub...wont work

Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall

Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again.

Remote Control and Remote View Problem

Hi,
I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
above.
Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
change.
Thanks!

Itunes and Mac Pro Problem -- Help Please

Having a really strange problem and could use some help.
I've got a Mac Pro with my wife's Ipod attached. Updating songs on the Ipod has become very, very slow. Literally, it's taking hours to move over a couple of albums.
Just out of curiousity, I hooked it up to a Macbook Pro in the house and everything was just fine. Tried reinstalling itunes on the Mac Pro and it didn't do it the trick.
All machines are intel based. Other peripherals are working fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

ITunes import using Home Sharing and Remote Disc

I would like to import a music CD from my MacBook Pro to my MacBook Air using iTunes. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.1) on both computers.
Here are the steps that I have followed:
Home Sharing is enabled on both computers
I load the CD into the Pro's optical drive, but tell it not to import to the Pro's library
On the Air, I select Add to Library, then select the Remote Disc
When the Pro appears, I select it
At this point, I can see that there is a disc loaded into the Pro and I select it, but the "Open" button remains grayed out
What am I missing here?

I tried the same thing and got the same results as you. The reason the button is grayed out is that the operation is not supported directly.

I got render and RAM preview problems. help?

i got render and RAM preview problems with after effects! please help me
when i started on a project earlier today the RAM preview was failing and it stoped making a preview after about a second, when i hit the RAM preview buttom again it continued to load and stoped again after a half second, and it continued to do that till it wasn't loading at all, just playing the same thing up even doe it haden't loaded the whole composition! BUT if i moved the (thing you see where you are on the timeline in need of a better name) it started loading a little more and then it stoped again.. so after alot of problems and moving i managed to make a RAM preview of the whole composition..
now the real problem: when i was done with my project and i was going to reender i did like this: i added my composition to the render queue, chosed my render settings and started to render, after exactly 37 frames it stoped and no window or anything poped up, the only thing that was telling me something was wrong was the render status, and it said: ''failed at 0;00;00;37'' that's not even a second! and BTW when i render after effects only uses 12% of my 6GB RAM memory.. i dont know what to do! i've tried other render settings but the same thing happens! can anyone help me?
BTW i'm swedish and only 14 so i might misspelled something..

Start here and make sure that you understand how RAM preview is supposed to work first:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/424030
What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? What kind(s) of source footage? Has this ever worked before? What other software are you running? Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Are you rendering with OpenGL?
What are your Memory & Multiprocessing settings? Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?

I bought a new MBA and are having problems with HDMI and VGA port

Hi,
I just bought a new mac book air, and at the apple stre they recommended me a mosh mini to vga cabel. I need to use my computer for projector either hdmi or regular vga adapte. The new mba only has thunderbolt, usb, memory/card slot, microphone and headphone ports.
Does anyboody has and idea how i will or how do i connect the hdmi or vga adapaters to the computer. I have been searching on the cables the apple store has available but the end that goes into the computer is not compatible with the ones I mentioned above.
Please any help would be of great help, because I dont know what to do. I think this is a problem with the new MBA.
thank you,

Thank you doubr. So what I need is to buy the thunderbolt cable and the minidisplayport to vga adapter or the griifin mini display port to hdmi tht toothpickproductions recommends, is that correct?
The one I have is a mini dvi to vga adapter and the end that goes into the computer is the same one that the minisdisplayport to vga adapter or the griffin one have, and is too big to go into the new mba. I dont know if I am confusing you more with what I am saying.
check the link below and you will see the ports the mba has
http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html
if you see the ports that mba has, the two minidosplayport that are recommending do not fit..
So, do you know that if I buy the thunderboldt cable will either of the two minidisplay ports fit or I need to buy another adapter for the minidisplay ports??
thank you because I am kind of confused, I did not have this problem with the macbookpro I had before...

Cisco VPN Software and Remote Desktop Problem

Hello-
Please have patience as I just got my first mac and I'm really just learning how everything works.
Anyway, I'm trying to connect to my office network from my iMac (OS X 10.5.3) using the Cisco VPN client ver. 4.9.01 (0030) and the Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.0 Beta 3. I'm able to connect via the VPN but I cannot connect to the remote machine using either the machine's hostname or IP address.
In order to troubleshoot the issue, I tried to ping the remote machine after connecting via VPN and it fails. The name is resolving but ping fails with a "No route to host" and then "Host is down error." However, I know the host is up since when I connect via VPN from my PC I can ping the remote machine without a problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Does the Cisco VPN client for Mac not work well? Is there some simple configuration setting I'm missing somewhere? BTW, I'm connecting to the Internet via WiFi and am using a Linksys WRT54G router.
thx,
ian

Hello Ian:
Welcome to Apple discussions (and to the wonderful world of Macs). I think you will find these forums represent the best on-line community anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
I am no help with your problem as I have not used a Cisco VPN. However, in my previous business life I did connect my home Mac to my business VPN. I found that our IT people were most helpful in smoothing connection issues.

Another Mailman and virtual domains problem... mailbox does not exist

Hi,
this is yet another thread about virtual domain mailinglist with mailman.
To sum up:
- OpenDirectory account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered
- Deleting this account and creating a mailing-list "test11", opening the admin interface to change the host "server.domain.com" (which is the primary host of the machine, so each mailinglist is created with this host) and replacing it with "virtualdomain.com"
- sending an email to "[email protected]" -> following error:
Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/qmgr[74872]: 698E5BF735: from=<[email protected]>, size=691, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 18 14:12:23 server postfix/pipe[74882]: 698E5BF735: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=cyrus, delay=0.28, delays=0.14/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=5.6.0, status=bounced (data format error. Command output: test11: Mailbox does not exist )
- adding back the OD account "[email protected]" -> mail delivered to inbox (not to mailing-list recipients)
- now if i delete the mailinglist in Server Admin then send an email to "[email protected]" -> following error (seems obvious):
Jan 18 13:18:49 server postfix/lmtp[74275]: A9B7CBF45F: to=<[email protected]>, relay=server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp], delay=0.16, delays=0.13/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host server.domain.com[/var/imap/socket/lmtp] said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated with this 550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command))
IOW, it looks like somehow the mailinglist aliases are being lost somewhere.
Postfix forgets to delivers the incomming mails to Mailman, doesn't it? According to lots of forum searchs it could be forced by using one of those two commands:
sudo /usr/sbin/postalias
sudo /usr/sbin/postmap
Unfortunately I dont know how they work precisely and can't find X.5 accurate information so I hope you can guide me through this step.
Also I don't know how to track the incomming mails at the moment they are dispatched to either an OD account (so it's delivered or generates the 550 error) or a Mailman list (so it's looking for aliases and so on).
Any help will be appreciated.
Config:
- in /etc/postfix/main.cf

Cd's and system discs problems with new apple quick silver g4

hello hopefully someone can help me I just purchased this macine on ebay 2 weeks ago. The problem I am having is for one I cannot open the cd-r-rw without using popcorn to open it. When I try to insert a disc for an application or the system disks that he included with the purchase I cannot read any of them in fact as soon as i close the drawer with the disc in it it reopens in a few minutes. I can't even find a way to open the drawer with out popcorn there is no external place to open this up like my old cd rom had. I had a power mac beige g3. So in order to load anything I have to download the disk to a usb small portable plug memory card, plug it in to the new machines usb port and then download the program through there. So what do I need to be able to put a system disk or program disc into this machine and also able to open the tray I have now. Do I need something like a external cd-rom drive that hooks up into my usb port to be able to use the discs or what.
The one thing it does do is play a music disc if you openned it with popcorn and close it it plays the music disc but not the other type thanks Tim L

There are several things you can check or test. Follow these 3 rules and you'll be able to change drives in any Mac.
1. After changing Hard Drives ... are you restarting AND zapping PRAM or just restarting? Any changes to hardware configuration require zapping the PRAM (hold down command, option, p and r keys while restarting).
2. Making a copy of a startup disk onto a second Hard Drive is never as good as installing the OS independently on each drive. Even if they're both in the same computer. Be sure your new optical drive is in place and connected when installing OS.
3. Hard drives and optical drives have configuration addresses or designations. The ATA bus in Macs support 2 devices on each channel (2 channels). The optical drives are normally connected to the slower ATA/66 bus and are designated Master and Slave. If both drives are set as Master a conflict will occur. Check the jumpers located at the rear of the drive where the ribbon cable connects. There's usually a sticker on the drive which shows how to set them for the appropriate configuration.
Hope this helps ....

Canon Rebel T3 EOS Flash and Auto Mode Problems: Help Me!

I recently got a job as a photographer for the nightlife in my city. I went out and tried to shoot the other night. My camera isn't broken, but I had it in auto (green rectangle) and when I'd hit the shutter button, it would just flash, looking like it was having a seizure, and not take the picture. It eventually took the photos, but it flashed in their faces like 3 times before it actually took the photo. People cursed me out and it was awful. Why won't my camera just take the picture the first time??? Why does it say it's "busy" and how do I know when to take the photo to avoid pissing people off? Also, when I went to the "no flash" seting, it took the picture with no problem, but I absolutely NEED the flash to work. Please help me!

Bob has nailed it.... when auto-focus is enabled and the camera is using "One Shot" mode (the default focus mode), the camera will NOT take a photo until it can confirm that it was able to lock focus. To help the camera focus, it will attempt to use the pop-up flash and strobe it very quickly to create something which is more-or-less about 1 seconds worth of continuous light. You'll want an external speedlite flash for two reasons... 1) Several external flash models include a "focus-assist" beam.2) The external speedlite models are significantly more powerful than the built-in pop-up flash and can handle subjects at much greater distances. Normally I'd suggest a Canon Speedlite 430EX II... but Canon recently announced it replacement will be available in mid-septermber. The 430EX III-RT ... and it's the same price (the new model has a radio receiver and can triggered via radio instead of optical (optical triggers require line-of-sight... radio does not.) I'd much rather have the radio-eqiupped version. The focus-assist beam in the flash illuminates a red-pattern momentarily while the camera is focusing. This beam allows the camera to focus even in total darkness. It doesn't have to pulse the flash to work as a modeling light to achieve focus (it's actually much better than the 1-second long burst of light.)
