APS on TP with both HDD and SSD

Hi,
I have a Thinkpad with both a hard disk drive and a solid state drive.
How does Active Protection System work? Does it simply cut power to all drives in the system? Or does it explicitly tell disk drives to park the heads?
I want APS to work on the HDD, but I don't want it to slow me down on the SSD. Can anyone confirm that this will be the case.
Thanks! Please cite references, if possible.

hey lucasreddinger,
the APS works only with HDD unit. how it works is like this..
as you know inside a HDD is circular platter that spins. when the unit is drop, the platter will shake and when it shakes, the APS will detect the movement and immediately halt the platter from spinning thus reducing damage to it.
and because the SSD works like a flash drive and does not have any movable parts, APS won't work for it.

Setting up Dual Boot on a laptop with an HDD and an SSD?

Hello,
I've had a Lenovo Y500 laptop for about a year now, and I'd really like to run Arch on it. I've been using Arch on a virtual machine for a while now, and I have tried other distros like Gentoo and Slackware, but Arch is by far my favorite. I find myself spending most of my time on Arch with only 1GB RAM and 32GB hard disk space allocated, when I could be on my 8GB RAM Windows machine.
The laptop has a 1TB HDD which is split into two partitions, a 883GB C: drive(entitled Windows OS) and a 25GB D: drive (entitled Lenovo), and a 16GB SSD which I imagine is for cache. I think I would like to allocate 256GB for Arch, since I really don't need much space to run Arch.
Obviously I have to set up another partition, but I really don't know how to do that, especially without screwing up my HDD and SSD configuration.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks a lot

Ensure you have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning
Gparted worked very well for me several years ago when I re-sized the (gack!) Vista partition that came on this laptop to make room for a real OS. I had no problems -- be advised that this is a BIOS machine. Be sure you back up anything important to you before you start.

Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

Well, I'm not sure how anything can fit into a 5 mm depth, so I can see why they've removed the CD drive - there probably wouldn't be enough room for the laser, LOL. Can't imagine speakers, hard drive (of any flavor), logic board and so on and so forth. Fortunately, my iMac has Applecare through early 2015 so I'm set for a while; I may check out a Mini at that point - saw that it is configurable with a fusion drive, which would make it interesting for me.

Question about the difference between HDDs and SSDs

Hi. I currently have a MacBook (Black one) that's overheating a lot for the past few months. I'm thinking about purchasing a MacBook Pro for school because it seems to be more stable. I have a question though. What is the difference between HDDs and SSDs? Which one is better? All I know is that with my MacBook and my iBook is that I had hard drive failures (iBook hard drive clicking, MacBook hard drive sounding loud and making my computer overheat). Are hard drive failures normal with Macs?
Thank you

Is a 128GB Solid State Drive better than a 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm or 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm?
Depends what you mean by "better." Faster? Yes. The 500 has 3x more storage capacity.

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?

Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

Sending emails with both body and attachment to multiple recipients

I have a requirement to send email with body and attachment to multiple recipients.
Body of the email is a standard text. It is a proxy-to-mail scenario.
Here is what I've done: (I'm using PI 7.11)
One mapping from Source to Target structure (format of the attachment text file)
Second mapping from Target Structure to Mail Package format.
In the second mapping I'm concatenating the output of first step into "Content" of the Mail Package.
"XIPAYLOAD" is the message protocol used.
The "Keep attachments" option in the Mail adapter allows only to send "Content" as attachment or as body of the email.
How to send an email with both content and text?
The other problem is even with using ASMA, I can't send email to multiple recipients. I can only do CC and TO for 1 person each - a total of 2. Although I can resolve this by creating mailing lists, it is better if this can be addressed in PI.
Thanks for any input you can provide!

Thank you for your response Mikael.
For the first question, I was able to find the solution in the following blog:
XI Mail Adapter : Dynamically building attachment and message body content using a simple UDF
(I just needed to search with the right set of key words )
The key is to set the "Content Encoding" as "None" in the mail adapter. If this is not done, the mail will be sent with an attachment - untitled.bin containing both the mail body and the attachment text. Also, don't forget to check the "Keep Attachments" checkbox in the mail adapter.
Multiple recipients could be added by separating the email IDs with a Comma. I have used ASMA to set the recipients.

External hard drive use with both Mac and Windows

I know that you can't use an iPod (through iTunes) with both Mac and Windows, but can you still use it as an external hard drive with both operating systems?

Yes, if the iPod is in Windows format. Mac OS X can read and write Windows formatted iPods, but Windows can't access Mac formatted disks unless special software is installed.

Cisco ISE with both internal and External RADIUS Server

Hi
I have ISE 1.2 , I configured it as management monitor and PSN and it work fine
I would like to know if I can integrate an external radius server and work with both internal and External RADIUS Server simultanously
So some computer (groupe_A in active directory ) will continu to made radius authentication on the ISE internal radius and other computer (groupe_B in active directory) will made radius authentication on an external radius server
I will like to know if it is possible to configure it and how I can do it ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Blaise

Cisco ISE can function both as a RADIUS server and as a RADIUS proxy server. When it acts as a proxy server, Cisco ISE receives authentication and accounting requests from the network access server (NAS) and forwards them to the external RADIUS server. Cisco ISE accepts the results of the requests and returns them to the NAS.
Cisco ISE can simultaneously act as a proxy server to multiple external RADIUS servers. You can use the external RADIUS servers that you configure here in RADIUS server sequences. The External RADIUS Server page lists all the external RADIUS servers that you have defined in Cisco ISE. You can use the filter option to search for specific RADIUS servers based on the name or description, or both. In both simple and rule-based authentication policies, you can use the RADIUS server sequences to proxy the requests to a RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server sequence strips the domain name from the RADIUS-Username attribute for RADIUS authentications. This domain stripping is not applicable for EAP authentications, which use the EAP-Identity attribute. The RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the RADIUS-Username attribute and strips it from the character that you specify when you configure the RADIUS server sequence. For EAP authentications, the RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the EAP-Identity attribute. EAP authentications that use the RADIUS server sequence will succeed only if the EAP-Identity and RADIUS-Username values are the same.

In Creative Cloud, does the $9.99/month Individual Photography plan come with BOTH Lightroom and Photoshop CC? It is not very clear on the home page. It shows both and mentions both, but doesn't specifically say BOTH come with the monthly $9.99/month plan. Can somebody clarify?

When we click on the edit link(in page1) it should go for the page2 and the page2 should display the corresponding row fields which should be editable. but when i click the column link it should bring me to the next page but the corresponding values of the column should not be editable.
Regars,

hi,
Here i have achieved this by making the column link and page navigation.

How can I hook up an epson scanner (2480/2580) via USB/Firewire hub- APEBS and be able to operate the scanner with both laptop and desktop computer?

My Artisan50 works in this configuration currently!

You can't scan to a device connected to the base station's USB port. Devices other than computers with both USB and FireWire ports don't provide any crossover between the technologies unless specifically noted in their description.

thank you roger. i have attempted to connect my mbp now 3 times (all different ways with different cables purchased) but unfortunately no success. i understand that with me having an older mbp it can be a challenge. i have found this page http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-a-Macbook-to-a-TV but with my unsuccessful history, i have become skeptical. i will try your suggestion and let you know. thank you again.

Difference between TC 500 GB with added HDD and TC 1 TB?

Hi there.
I'm a student and need a HDD to take backups of my 250 GB HD in a Macbook. I would like it to run wirelessly as I don't think I'll remember to plug the HDD in, turn it on and let it take a backup as often as I would really like to have backups taken.
The Time Capsule (TC) 500 GB costs $279 while the 1 TB version costs $479 (all prices are with student discount).
I realize that even the 500 GB can be considered expensive since it's $120 more expensive than the AirPort Extreme Base Station with no HDD and "all you get" (besides Time Machine backup and that it all fits nicely together) is 500 GB.
I really think that paying $200 extra for 500 GB extra space seems like way too much so I was wondering if there's a difference between a TC 500 GB with an added HDD (i.e. a 500 GB one) and a TC 1 TB. Also, are there other things I should take notice of? (I realize this is a common question)
Some of the things I've read is that only the TC's are capable of wirelessly taking a TM backup of your Mac and that they also should have some kind of sleep-function when not in use.
Thanks in advance!

You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a TM backup drive. TM can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, Xsan storage devices, a Time Capsule's (TC) internal hard drive, or a hard drive attached to a TC's USB port. The jury is still out on, whether or not, it can successfully back up to an AirPort Disk (a hard drive attached to the USB port of the newer 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station.)

My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. .

My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. . .I purchased a Mac Pro. Can I download the Mac versions of both programs and use my currenct serial numbers?

You can with Lightroom, but not (as far as I know) with Photoshop. You ought to get in touch with Adobe's customer service people and see if you can "sidegrade" to Mac for a relatively small fee.
