Apple Training for Image Deployment

Has anyone here attended one of the Apple Training seminars on Mac OS X Deployment v10.4 (listed as MacOS 310 on the training units site)? I'm trying to find out if the training covers multicast ASR.

Thanks. You were right, and it was a great class.

Apple ID for the Deployment Program and VPP is the same

I created an Apple ID for the Deployment Program and authorized the same ID for VPP. Now I learned these should be different. Is this a problem and if so, how can the VPP ID be changed?

You should be able to. The only hiccup will be that any apps that you have purchased with the older ID you will have to repurchase with the newer ID to be able to keep using them.
Though of course this actually depends on how you plan to use the IDs. For example, I had an Apple ID through iTunes a few years before I opened a .Mac/MobileMe account (what iCloud is now in case you are new to Apple). Thus, my iPhone and iPad actually have two IDs on them, one for iTunes/App Store, and one for anything associated with iCloud. I've never really had any problems assoctiated with having two IDs on one device. Usually just an extra step when I get a new device or have to restore either of them for some reason. Though I understand that this is probably not what you plan on doing, I thought I would use it as an example of what the IDs are really associted with on the devices.

PXE Booting pc for Image deployment

Hi Folks,
our sccm 2012 system was working fine then all of a sudden has stopped working, when we try to image a pc using F12 we get this error message, can anyone help me out resolving this issue.
I've already uninstalled/installed pxe/wds but still getting this error, I've also create our boot images fresh but still the same.

Is this reproducible? Or is it only happening to a single machine or multiple different machines? If it is on only this machine, do what Paul states. The disk on the workstation is the issue.

Struggling with enrollment for apple IDs for students under 13

I'm with a UK secondary school and we're hoping to be eligible to enroll in the 'Apple ID for Students' deployment program. We currently are enrolled with the 'volume purchasing' deployment program.
I've visited: deploy.apple.com however there is no option for enrollment in 'Apple ID for Students'
Is it only available in the US?

MDT Image Deployment Using Flash Drive

Hi,
In my environment i am using MDT 2010 image deployment process to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 OS images,
As image deployment is foccussed on multiple remote locations we have planned to move with USB Flash drive (Pen Drive) for image deployment,
The problem occurs here in normal system through diskpart utility i can able to get all the disks including my flash drive but in win pe mode i am unable to get my flash drive listed in diskpart utility.
so the image deployment process hangs on to the microsoft solution accelerator screen i am unable to predict the actual reason but i can predict this can happen because of mass storage driver problems.
I tried the same using USB Hard Disk and succeded with the deployment and i am unable to guess what makes difference between USB Hard disk and USB Flash Drive.
Can you just help me out on this to close the problem ASAP..
So that i can proceed with my roll out activities.
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi,
At last the image deployment using flash drive works for me.
I attempted the following steps,
First i converted the flsh drive to bootable flash drive using diskpart utility,This can be done in Windows 7 Operating system only.
navigate to cmd and type Diskpart,and enter the below commands,
List disk
Select Disk no
create partition primary
select partition no
active
format fs=ntfs
Assign
Exit
Upon completition,Insert windows 7 DVD to the system and do the following
Navigate to DVD Drive in my case it is G: and change directory to boot
G:cd boot
G:\Boot>Bootsect.exe /nt60 I: where I: is my flash drive
Then copy the contents to the Usb flash drive and change the first boot device of the target system to local hard disk and deploy the image
while in Win pe mode use disk part utility to check whether your disk got detected.
If everything is ok then it will work.
Thanks for your valuable time.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

How can we disassociate an Apple ID from a set of computers formated from a single computer using Carbon Copy Cloner and a single image and then Migration Assistant to install their old profile? The original ID is the Apple ID for all the stores.

Here is a bit more detail.
We were replacing old teacher machines and wanted to do it as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we set up one computer, through the OS installation and ran all updates, and then made a disk image so that we can use Carbon Copy Cloner to image all the other computers without having to run all the other updates. Once they were set up to a base level and assigned to a teacher we used Migration Assistant to import all their old files and items. Everything has been fine until recently the computers became aware of needing an update for one or two apps. The machine asks for the original computer's Apple ID for all updates. We have logged out of the apple id and back in with another to test if running the updates will work with that Apple ID and even after a refresh it still asks for the other Apple ID. How can we disassociate the Apple ID from those other computers so that the individual who owns the original is not needed each time there is an update or has to give out their Apple ID password?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

Aperture, Photoshop, and Apple's possible direction for Image Editing

All,
After using Aperture now for several days, and reading many different forum topics, in particular this one which speaks of desired enhancements to Aperture:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253594&tstart=0
there is one thing that really sticks out on my mind. While all of us photographers have slightly different specifics to our workflow, in general they are very similar. And with respect to Aperture, there is one huge area where most of us seem to be hitting the brick wall: image adjustments, and by extension, image file management. Let me explain what I mean.
I think it is a fair generalization to say that the vast majority of serious digital photographers are using Photoshop (or some other image editing app, but I'm just going to refer to Photoshop for convenience) for post-processing of some kind. In using Aperture, and figuring out how to fit it into workflow, we've got this situation of how to move from organization and image library management to the full gamut of image adjusting functionality (photoshop) and back again to library management. The need to use photoshop then exposes the issue of how files are stored on the filesystem, etc. Stay with me here...
I have found myself thinking, and it is pretty clearly demonstrated in the forum topic mentioned above where folks are making suggestions for improvements to Aperture, that there's this barrel people are over in knowing whether Photoshop and Aperture should live in the workflow together, or whether Aperture should (or is intended to) replace Photoshop in the workflow. This got me to thinking about the fundamental question -- what is the intent, i.e. the vision for Aperture? Is it meant to replace Photoshop, or restated, is Aperture meant to be the app in which all image adjustments are to be made, OR is Aperture meant to just ease workflow, and is it intended not to be the primary app for image adjustments, but rather integrate with the primary image adjustment app?
The reason I bring this up is that the answer to this question makes all the difference in what enhancement requests and what people should expect from Aperture now, and in future versions. If Aperture is the primary place for image adjustment, then its obvious that there are some very significant additions that need to take place to Aperture, and likewise, the issue of putting images on the filesystem becomes much less important. However, if Aperture is a workflow-easer, then such image adjustment improvements are minimally important if at all, and filesystem / Photoshop / PSD file integration becomes paramount.
I know what Aperture does, what features it provides, etc. But I can't help but realize that its not really that clear (or I just don't understand yet) what the full scope of Aperture now and in the future is intended to be, and the forum topics are pretty decent documentation of the fact that the user base at this point is fairly cloudy on that too.
I can't help thinking that in the midst of the Apple pro line of tools, where we have tools that edit: video, audio, DVD creation, text effects, and now digital photography workflow, that there's one glaring hole: static image editing, i.e. a direct Photoshop competitor. I went through the Aperture video demos before Aperture shipped, and watched these photo pros talk incessantly about how "now there's an app that addresses how I work -- Aperture". That's great, but Apple has to know the role that Photoshop plays in present photography workflow -- for those pros too. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself, why would Apple roll out such a product with some clear workflow hurdles to common Photoshop usage.
Ok, here's the punchline: does anyone else here have a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not to far off from releasing their own image editing application that's a direct Photoshop competitor? I mean come on, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Sountrack, and by extension of the CEO to Pixar, Renderman. How can you not have a static image adjustment application entering the scene at some point?
I'm curious what others think. I'm just trying to make sense of how to fit the neat stuff I see in Aperture into a workflow that doesn't play very nicely with Aperture at some points (because I'm using Photoshop).

So Apple adds curves adjustments,
we'll need noise reduction, greater sharpening
capability, etc., etc., and then when we have all
those features, surely we'll need masking and select
capability to perform those adjustments selectively,
etc. Where does it end?
Actually that could be a good cut-off point - add a few more/better 'global' adjustments but leave all mask, selection and layer based tasks to external editors. Personally, I used to swear by curves, but haven't really touched them in PS for a year since shooting more RAW and learning how to use the shadow/highlight adjustment properly. Sometimes for overall colour for JPEGs, but that bit can be done just as well in levels.
My workflow isn't particularly typical, but here goes.
Type of photography - stitched panoramas as a professional, plus general snapshots/nature/landscape as hobby. Single user with no network storage.
Currently I use a very organised folder structure in the Finder, along with aliases in DragThing docks for easy access to final stitched files, all with their own unique ID. RAW conversions are done in ACR/PSCS2, or Bibble if I'm in a hurry on the laptop. About 40% of the panos are shot in RAW, 40% are bracketed JPEG and the remaining 20% are 'single' JPEG. The panoramas go through quite a lot of post-processing in PS using a whole series of actions and AppleScripts.
I'm expecting my workflow to look something like this:
1) Download directly into Aperture, possibly with added help from Automator/Applescript when it comes to proper date-based names.
2) Divide download into a new album for each panorama.
2a) If it is a people pano there will be quite a lot of duplicate shots for each panohead position - make a stack for each position and choose picks - this bit will speed things up enormously by itself. Reorder stacks to fit correct order of images going around the scene.
3) Export to TIFF (sometimes JPEG) and stitch using PTMac (sometimes Realviz Stitcher). Oh, and any people who think Aperture is limited, buggy and bad value should go and look at Stitcher - it costs the same, has a far more limited feature set, is on version 5 and by comparison makes Aperture look bug-free.
4) Bring stitched panorama into Photoshop to adjust seams through layers if needed, flatten, final tone adjustments (usually using shadow/highlight), possibly some colour tweaks, sharpen. For bracketed shots I will blend together the three exposures at this point using a custom action - this kind of thing is unlikely ever to make it to Aperture.
5) Bring final print-ready file into Aperture for cataloguing/backup.
5a) If file is too big for Aperture, make a smaller version for cataloguing and store original file in Finder. This gives me a good file for 90% of purposes, with the huge file available with a bit more work.
Too big? I've found that Aperture gets sluggish with files over 18-20,000 pixels wide, and chokes totally somewhere between 25,000 and 32,000 pixels wide - 'image format unsupported'.
To summarise - organise and convert in Aperture, stitch in specialist software, do PS-specific stuff then bring final image back in to join the source images.

Looking for Apple training....

I'm an Apple Certified Mac Technician and love my job. Unfortunately I'm only one person running repair and the retail side of the store. I know there has to be some training courses that teach about the best ways to use GSX, updated repair tips and tricks, or just some sort of conference for Apple repair. I'm looking to learn/train to increase my overall knowledge and provide better support to my customers.
Anyone have or know any good training/courses/workshops/conferences for repair guys?

Online Training for Administrators?

How would you rate the online training for CRM administrators provided by Oracle?
What books are available for learning CRM administration? The deployment guide is not really a nuts and bolts book on administration.

My degree is educational psychology, I've been teaching FCP since version 4, been teaching all of the Final Cut Studio apps since FCS2, been teaching apps for various software companies for 3 decades. Here's my professional evaluation.
The "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X, Professional Post-Production" by Brendan Boykin is hands down the BEST book on the market. The eBook version has been updated to version 10.0.2, also. If you purchase the eBook version from Peachpit Press, you get the EPUB, PDF, and MOBI versions all together, and the updates for the EPUB are free.
Online, the best training will be Ripple Training, by far.

Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
Thanks!

You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
is also info about apple ID's.
You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

Relative paths for images upset by forwarding requests

Hello World.
          I am using a web app deployed in Weblogic 5.1 with service pack 8.
          I have hit a problem which puzzles me. When I forward a request from
          one JSP to another (say from A to B) the web server seems to take the
          URLs of the images on the served file (B) relative to the path on the
          calling file (A). Here's a detailed explanation...
          Suppose I have a the web app structured as follow
          /oddApp/launch/A.jsp
          /oddApp/B.jsp
          /oddApp/images/tick.gif
          Page A simply stores its request URI and forwards its request to page B
          <jsp:forward page="/B.jsp" />
          Page B displays its requestURI, contextPath and servletPath. It also
          attempts
          to show three images
          <img src="images/tick.gif">
          <img src="../images/tick.gif">
          <img src="/images/tick.gif">
          When I invoke page B directly, the first image is shown, the others are not.
          When I invoke page A, it forwards to B and the second image is shown, the
          others are not.
          In each case the URI, contextPath and servletPath are correctly displayed
          with regard to page B.
          URI = [oddApp/B.jsp]
          contextPath = [oddApp]
          servletPath = [B.jsp]
          The URI in A.jsp is also correct (i.e. /oddApp/launch/A.jsp).
          The search for the images seems to be relative to the original URI (i.e. not
          the URI used to forward), which strikes me as daft. It means that page B
          must be aware of where it is being called from. It is perfectly plausible
          that
          relative paths which suit when called from one location are incorrect when
          called from another.
          I had thought that including the leadling slash (as shown as the third
          image)
          would cause the search relative to the document root (/oddApp/), but this
          appears not to be the case. The search is done relative to the root of the
          server not the web app.
          Adding jsp mappings in the deployment descriptor of the web app does not
          help (I had thought it a long shot anyway).
          Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
          PHiL


i face the same problem (WinNT, WLS6.0): my wep app has a contextRoot " root " which makes it react to the URL: http://host:port/root /: it is this folder which will be used as a basis by the Web server But in the jps I use a relative URL for images: / images/toto.gif : it works very well when I deploy my jsp out of a Web-app by setting a document.root to the weblogic web server.On the other hand, once deployed in a Web-app, images are not found because the default path of the browser is http://host:port, without the context root of the Web-app! In other words, my war has images/*.gif in its root but when /images/toto.gif is resolved in a jsp, as the relative URL is not prefixed by my context-root, the image is not search in the war! actually, if I type http://host:port/root/toto.gif, my image appearsany clues? an alias on the web server? a setting in web.xml/application.xml and their weblogic equivalent files?

If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

TS1702 I have an apple ID for the company but how do use my Itunes and a single id to download and manage multiple copies of the same purchased app for multiple Ipads that I need to support?

Hi,
I am trying to manage a number ipads in the business but I have problems managing the download of apps to multiple ipads using a single copy of Itunes and appleid.
I obviously want purchase correctly the number of copies of the app I require and manage them going forward but the issue I have is that when I try to purchase an additional copy of the app it shows as already purchased and downloaded in my Itunes.
What am i doing wrong or is this a feature?
Any help appreciated.

One chapter for video and another for images on same DVD?

Hello,
I don't yet have a Mac, but am very close to buying a MacBook. I do have a question about iDvd. Is it possible to create a theme or template or to even do this. I want to on a regular basis have a short 5-7 tops 10 minute video and 100-200 pictures. I'd like it so the user has the option to click one chapter and watch the video. Click the other and view the images with an option to browse the disc and save the images for uploading to their target of choice such as FB. Is this possible with iDvd?
Thanks,
BK

Hello and Welcome to the discussions!
Congratulations on being an 'almost' Mac purchaser!
Yes, you can do what you want in iDVD.
You will have theme templates that come with iDVD to use to make a nice theme for your projects.
You will have the options to have the videos play individually by placing them on the menu one at a time, or to put them in iDVD the way you place a slideshow and have them play consecutively. Here is a link to a visual from Old Toad showing just that. Remember to look at this again when you get to this point:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iDVD8movieSS.png
Another option for videos is to put them all into one iMovie and make chapters for each video. However, the chapters will not appear on the main menu, but in a separate submenu.
You can then put the photos in iDVD as their own separate slideshow.
When your DVD is viewed, the options will be to select to play the video slideshow or play the photo slideshow. You can rename these titles whatever you wish.
If you make an iMovie, the options for it will be 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection' ( to link to the submenu with the iMovie chapter choices) and the same photo slideshow.
In additiion, you can utilize the DVD-ROM option to have the photos and videos available for downloading to computer. This option will not be seen when the DVD disk is viewed on a set-top DVD player. iDVD's Help File says:
+In iDVD, you can easily make it possible for viewers to download the photos and movies that appear in your slideshows. This is a nice feature for viewers who may, for example, want to print the photos for permanent display.+
+The photos and movies are added to the DVD-ROM portion of your DVD, and viewers can access them when they insert the DVD into the drive on a computer. (The files are not accessible from a TV.)+
Get the MacBook! Good luck with your projects. Take the time to do all the tutorials Apple offers for its iLife applications. Spend time here in the discussions for the apps you are using. Utilize the Search function to see if someone else has asked and received answers to a problem similar to yours. You will learn a lot and find answers that even the Apple Genius bar people do not have!
