Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

Has anyone successfully used Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution??

Hi All,
This might be a wrong place to post ;) but anyways. My question is can we use Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution? If so has anyone successfully used it?
I have used Oracle EM over the years for mostly managing Databases. Eventually with the Middleware Support I have tried to use it to monitor Middleware Servers, earlier OC4J and recently WebLogic Servers. I however find that most people when talk about EM they think of it as a Business Transaction Monitoring Solution. (Lets keep BTM out for a while I know about that plugin but it is another full set of questions)
Mostly I get questions as to can we "drill down the transactions" and see who initiated it and "what is being processed at this moment". Here transaction means Business Transaction as opposed "this thread is executing this particular piece of code". People want to know this piece of code is being executed "for Purchase Order XYZ" as opposed to just knowing that purchase order is being processed. If you know what i mean.
No doubt OEM is great tool for an Admin but does it really sell itself as a monitoring solution? I have not seen a successful implementation so far with OEM being a central monitoring solution. If anyone has any experiences to share it would be great.

I tried to look at that option. It is available only for the Database. I was looking something more towards say the web Services hosted or the Web Applications hosted on Weblogic instances. Can we find say the Web Service call which had the Purchase Order XYZ in its request, etc.

How to use external microphone in combo jack?

Hello,
My notebook Pavillion 14-V042tx have this combo jack (input/output in one jack).
How can i use my external microphone with this combo jack?
When i inserting the microphone it won't recognize the device, but when the headphone / external speakers are inserted, it's doing fine.
Do i need cable audio splitter like this?
Or are there any settings to enable the external microphone?
Thx before.

exlinko,
If the hardware is working the 8.1 software should detect that the jack was inserted and allow you to listen to (audio -out) on one of the jacks and allow you to input (audio-in) on the other. Also the software should mute the internal mic and speakers. Good luck with M$ 8.1 software.

Using external microphones with zen ne

How do I plug in an external microphone into my zen neeon? I plan to use bi-naural microphones. Can I use a preamp and an adapter? Is this even possible with my model?
Thanks
Nora

I'm sorry, but that's not really my area of expertise. If you are planning to use this for simple voice-recording you could try the Griffin iMic device which helps provide both pre-amplification and impedance matching between a mini-plug mic and a USB port for sound input. I've used it recording music from a boom-box to a MacBook.
The tech specs state that the audio line-level in port is:
Input impedance greater than 20,000 ohms
Input level: Max 2 V rms (+8.2 dbµ)
I would look for a mic that meets those specifications. MacSpeech.com has several microphone/headset recommendations for use with their Dictate and iListen voice recognition software. I would think that their suggestions would be useful.

Voice recording using external microphone

Hi,
I need to record my voice using an external microphone on my Pavilion 15-n097ea. There is only a combined headphone/mic jack and I have read that I need a 4 conductor connection. I can't seem to find any local shops that sell them and was advised to buy a USB sound card that has the pink and green ports, or a 3.5mm 4 pin to 2x3 headset splitter adapter - M/F. Any suggestions as to whether this will work, and if so can you recommend a headset that will give a good quality voice over, without costing the earth?
My control panel shows this in the sound section:
Mic in at front panel (black)
Realtek High Definition Audio
Not Plugged In
Microphone
Realtek High Definition Audio
Default Device
Stereo Mix
Realtek High Definition Audio
Ready
Many thanks in advance!

There's plenty of software you can use to record your voice to mp3 then just put the mp3 into your fla.

Anyone successfully use DOS-bootable thumbdrive on T400s?

Hi,
I have a couple of flashdrives that i've formatted as bootable DOS disks and i've used both of them on my old HP NC6400 for yrs. But my new T400s is pretending that it can't see them. My T400s will boot from an external USB floppy and it also has an entry in the boot sequence list in the BIOS for an external USB HD and, IIRC, an external USB optical drive. But formatting my flashdrive to emulate a HD hasn't worked so far on the T400s.
If I plug in one of these DOS flashdrives, hit the power button and then F12 the "bootable devices currently seen" list shows NO USB devices at all.
So before I call Lenovo tech support I thought i'd check and see what your experience has been. And, if you have successfully used one of these guys on your T400s what utility did you use to format your drive and what kind of emulation did you use?
TIA,
laffin_boy

IIRC there are some older BIOSen that insisted on displaying USB flash drives as hard drives. Worse, on one machine, I have to boot to BIOS with the flash drive plugged in, move it up in the hard drive boot list, reboot to the boot menu, and select boot from hard drive.
My T400 behaves as one would expect: USB flash drives show up explicitly in the boot menu. I'd expect your machine to behave the same way. On the off chance, do you see an expandable HD list in the boot menu ( a "+" or something)?

Is anyone successfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5

Hello all,
I greatly want to use Digieffects Camera Mapper with After Effects CS5 in Windows 7..
http://digieffects.com/product/camera_mapper
But it keeps crashing my installation of After Effects.
I'm using the demo CS5 version downloaded from the DigieEffects website. Digieffects support says the demo version works the same as the paid version (except for the watermark.). No problem there -- if I can get the demo version to work then I will buy it.
Digieffects support says it works fine with their Windows 7 CS5 installation of After Effects.
I went so far as to completley reinstall windows and reinstall CS5 master collection. But after all that work I get the same crash.
We are talking about a clean install of Windows 7 and a clean install of the CS5 master collection with nothing else installed on the computer.
And I keep getting the crash.
So my question here, is anyone succesfully using Digieffects Camera Mapper with CS5. Are there any tips that I should know of. Please look at my screen captuers of the steps I take which end up in a crash.
As I said this is a new (just a few hours old) installation of Windows 7 Professional and a new (just a few hours old) installation of CS5 Master Collection. No other plug-ins or programs installed.
Thanks
...Rowby

I'm sorry to say I have not heard from Digieffects regarding Windows 7 CS5 compatibility with Camera Mapper.
It is strange because I've had at least one phone call from them, and then a few weeks ago they said they confirmed there was a problem and their engineer was working on it, and I should expect to receive an update of the plug-in that works with Windows 7 CS5.
Since then I haven't heard a peep, even though I sent them 2 follow up support requests.
In my case I was testing a demo, but Digieffects support said the demo was the same as the non-demo version (except for the demo watermark).
Below is a link to Digieffects' compatibility page which shows that Camera Mapper is compatible with CS5.
http://www.digieffects.com/support/compatibility
Their silence on this issue, after their assurances to me that a fix is eminent, is baffling.
Below is Digieffects support's last communication with me, on October 11.
>>
Rowby,
I think the engineer has this one figured out. Turned out to be a problem in the plugin- I will send you an updated one at some point today as soon as I recieve it from the engineer. Thanks for your patience and help with this one

Anyone successfully using Btrfs with dm-cache - any howtos

Hi
Does anyone successfully set up dm-cache (or flashcache) on arch? If so is it performing well and stable for you? and how did you set it up (nothing yet on the wiki)?
thanks in advance

don't know about dm-cache or flashcache. But at least bcache (which is the one I would choose from the three options if I had a caching drive) shouldn't be stable with btrfs yet according to: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas

is it possible to use another mic,when I am using these headset?
When they are wired I suppose I can use whatever microphone to my liking.

Björn,
I believe that is not possible. The integrated microphone would suffice as far as my judgment goes with this particular headphones.

Anyone Successfully Using iChat Today? (Fri, Jun23rd)

Just checking to see if anyone is successfully getting an AV chat session going today. I usually connect with no problems, but since the past day or so, I haven't been able to connect with either any of my buddies (California/New York/Shanghai). Might there be a service issue with iChat or AIM, rather than our Macs?
Currently using Linksys WRT54GS routers with ibook and/or macbook.
thx

Hi UrizenNYC,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
I have two computers logged into AIM with two different Screen names.
I can see all my usual Buddies on line.
However, both computers have lost contact with AIM and disconnected a few times this evening since I Logged on at about 21.30 local time.
Adust how long that interval is with the Post time
This does suggest a problem with the AIM servers

How to use external microphone? L420

Hi,
I had a R61 before and it was easy to use an external mic in that as there were two ports,one for headphones and the other for mic. In the L420 however, it seems that there is only one port with a headset engraved on it. I suppose that means it's a combi port, both for headphones and mic. So i connected the mic,but all I could hear in my recording was whatever the "INBUILT LAPTOP" microphone could record,which was mainly noise. My connected microphone could not be recorded. Any help?
Thanks.

Hi arx
I also used to fight with L420 mic, but the external mic plugin never gave me a problem.
First I tried a normal mic (3.5 mm / mini stereo) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Audio-TRS-Mini-Plug.jpg) and did not work.
If I use my earphones with mic that has a 4 section plug the mic works without problem.
Maybe you need this kind of adapter.
