Best solution for browsing windows shared file?

We have a coupel iPad here which are connected to the corp network while inside the office.  My users requests to acceess to network drives (DFS shared from Windwos server) on their iPad's, they wil be openign Word, Excel, PDF, and pictures.
What app(s) are recommended? I prefer free ones becuase it doesn't look like a task that's diffucult or complicated.

We just had  a presentation from Copiun, that has an enterprise class solution..it wouldn't be cheap, but it seems to be an interesting way to handle enterprise wide file sharing from an AD domain...but it would be way more than $4.99

  • What is the best solution for running windows based programs

    I have one program that I need windows for.  What is the best solution for doing this without painfully slowing down my mac.

    Depends on your needs.
    BootCamp requires reboot and uses all physical resources of the system.  Only OSX *or* Windows can run.  Better for gaming or memory intensive tasks.  BootCampAssistant must set up the boot sector to make it work.  Also BCA required to remove it.
    VM (virtual machine) like Parallels which "hosts" Windows while still running OSX.  You split RAM between the two environments.  VM is just another program so no special boot sector changes needed, but not good for graphics or RAM intensive programs.
    Other recommended alternates to Parallels (paid) are VM Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free download from Oracle.com).

  • Best solution for Windows gaming in OS X environment

    Hello!
    What would be the best solution to play Windows games in OX X environment - Parallels or VMWare?  (iMac 2012)
    I do know that is would be best for performace just to make a separate installation of Windows via BootCamp, but I need to run Windows in OS X environment only.
    I just obtained a custom-built iMac with 680MX onboard and would like to switch to Mac completely from my PC. But gaming is one of the most important aspect of my compure use. So I would like to have the ability to play as I did on PC without constant annoying reloading of the machine.

    Wine is going to give you better performance over any VM for games. It supports a great deal of DirectX 9 games and DirectX 10 support is planned for the coming months.
    Give Barrel a try (http://barrelapp.co.uk). It's an app I developed that lets you install, run and manage windows games on OS X 10.7+ by using Wine, that was designed with usability I mind. If you try it and have any questions ask and I'll answer them.
    Alternatives are wineskin and crossover for Mac.

  • What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.

    What is the best solution for me to run Microsoft Access on my brand new iMAC?  Assume I'm a casual user.
    I am lead to believe by some real smart guys on the Apple site that If I have the Apple Store partition my iMAC and add the full suite of Office products on that partition, I can run the few Access programs I have and need to run.
    Comments encouraged.  Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

    You would have to install Windows, then install Microsoft Office Professional for Windows on it  To install Windows you will have to choose between Boot Camp (faster, free) and a Virtual Machine (simpler, slower, easier to backup)
    You should try LibreOffice (free), it can open Access files, it may not have all Access's feature set though, worth a try.

  • TA24002 My 500 GB can't verify nor repair. I have photoshop work that I need to recover. I would like to know which erase option would be the best solution for this problem.

    My 500 GB can't verify nor repair. I have photoshop work that I need to recover. I would like to know what option would be the best solution for this problem?

    You appear to have two issues: 1) a hard drive that is not working properly and 2) files you wish to recover.
    Re 1) you need to answer Kappy's questions.
    Re 2) does the drive load and can you see your photo files? If so can you copy them to another drive?
    Do you not have a backup of the photo files?

  • SQL Server 2012 - Wat Is The Best Solution For Creating a Read Only Replicated/AlwaysOn Database

    Hi there I was wondering if someone may have a best recommendation for the following requirement I have with regards setting up a third database server for reporting?
    Current Setup
    SQL Server 2012 Enterprise setup at two sites (Site A & Site B).
    Configured to use AlwaysOn Availability groups for HA and DR.
    Installed on Windows 2012 Servers.
    This is all working and failover works fine and no issues. So…
    Requirement
    A third server needs to be added for the purpose of reporting, to be located on another site (Site C) possibly in another domain. This server needs to have a replicated read only copy of the live database from site A or Site B, whichever is in use. The Site
    C reporting database should be as up-to-date to the Site A or Site B database as possible – preferably within a few seconds anyway….
    Solution - What I believe are available to me
    I believe I can use AlwaysOn and create a ReadOnly replica for the Site C. If so do I assume Site C needs to have the Enterprise version of SQL server i.e. to match Site A & Site B?
    Using log shipping which if I am correct means the Site C does not need to be an Enterprise version.
    Any help on the best solution for this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Steve

    for always on - all nodes should be part of one windows cluster..if there site C is on different domain - I do not think it works.
    Logshipping works --as long as the sql on site C is is same or higher version(sql 2012 or above).  you can only do read only.
    IMHo, if you can make site C in the same domain then, Always is better solution else log shipping
    also, if your database has enterprise level features such as - partitonin, data compression -- you cannot restore the database on lower editions- so you need to have enterprise edition.
    Hope it Helps!!

  • Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

    hi
    we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
    Requirements
    + all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
    +handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
    + the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
    Current Solution
    at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
    - allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
    - all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
    - you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
    the problem however is that the users also need to access this...
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi Aleksei,
    I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
    A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
    Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
    But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
    to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:

  • Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

    I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
    *What I've tried and the issues...*
    At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
    SMB doesn't work.
    Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
    So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
    So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
    *What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
    FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
    Thanks much.

    Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
    You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
    Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
    Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
    OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server

  • Best Solution for Archiving Table data

    Hi All,
    I have a table with huge data. It is not partitioned table.
    On an average per day 10000 records will be inserted into this table. Now I want to archive(backup)
    every one years data manually and keep in safe location and hence delete those archived rows
    from the table. Whenever required it should be easily imported back to this table. All this happens through
    Application.
    One appraoch in my mind right now, is transferring the data from table to flat file with comma separted,
    and whenever required again importing back to the table from Flat file using external tables concept.
    Can any body suggest what is best solution for this.
    Thanks

    The best solution would be partitioning.
    Any other solution requires DML - running DELETE and INSERT transactions to remove a data set and to add a data set (if need be) again.
    With partitioning this is achieved (in sub-seconds) using DDL by exchanging a partition's contents with that of a table. Which means that after the archived data has been loaded (SQL*Loaded, Import, etc) into a table (and indexes created), that table (with indexes) is "swapped" into the partition table as a partition.

  • What is best solution for backup ?

    Our environment consisted of RAC (2 nodes). we are trying to back up our database using RMAN with NetBackup.
    we also have other different databases need to be backed up.
    In RAC case, what is best solution for backing up the database ?
    As I mentioned above, we are using RMAN for backup our RAC with NetBackup.
    Actually, the RMAN is not simple utility for me.
    Is there any other way to back up the database in our situation without rman.
    I need some advice from all of you.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin
    There are many possible ways to backup your database. You must decide the one that suits your environment.
    Following is the list of options that you have.
    1. Take Online Backups
    Issue this command to freeze tablespaces
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname BEGIN BACKUP;
    Copy all the files belonging to this tablespace to your backup location using OS commands.
    Release the tablespace by using this command.
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tblspcname END BACKUP;
    To find the data files belonging to a particular tablespace you can issue this statement
    SQL>SELECT file_name, tablespace_name FROM dba_data_files ORDER BY tablespace_name;
    2. If your db size is not BIG then you can take logical backups. Logical Backups can be FULL or incremental. In 10g you can have filesets to spilit your logical backups in more than one file with specified sizes. (By Logical Backups I mean EXPORT).
    To take export for example issue this command.
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp file=fullpath+filename.dmp log=fullpath+logfilename.log FULL=Y userid=system/pwd@dbconnectstring
    To get full list of export parameters type
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\exp help=y
    3. RMAN (Strongly recommended) but you ruled out its possibility so I won't elaborate on that.
    4. COLD BACKUP
    To perform this type of backup you will need to shutdown your database by issuing this command.
    SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    (On RAC you will need to shutdown all the instances before copying files to the backup location).
    Use OS copy command to copy files to backup location.
    (This method is not recommended as it will flush your SGA and your client will complain about performance for the first few hours).
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Can't connect to Windows shared file server

    I'm trying to connect to our Windows shared file server. I can add the drive and see it, however, when I open the folders nothing is there. I called Apple Support who said that it was most likely a Windows-related issue and that I may need to install some Windows driver on the PC the file server is on to get this to work (he wasn't exactly sure what the fix was for this). Has anyone experienced anything similar? And if so, what's the fix???

    Reinfire,
    sorry to horn in on this question, but i am having a similar problem, but in reverse. I am trying to connect from Win 8.1 to my mavericks iMac but it will not connect. I am sure that it's related to SMB but the fix you have posted did nothing for it.
    Any ideas?

  • What is teh best solution for my Problem??

    hello everyone
    i'am planing to develop a Patient Management System (PMS)
    since i 'm not that guru in the J technologies i would like you to get me some help with this decision:
    what is the best solution for developeing an intranet "PMS" which should handles data (connection to postgresql) and runs some algorithm (for planing puropose) im background ??
    1 developeing a web based solution (servlet and jsp and and ..)
    2 developeing an application wich will be manging everything ??? (a kind of programm with its own GUI)
    3 you may have an other idea solution and ill be gald for any advices
    ps sorry for my english its not that great ;)

    Web applications are all the rage these days and IMO rightly so as they greatly reduce deployment cost and headaches.
    They do have some drawbacks though which for you might be important.
    I can imagine that sooner or later (probably sooner in my experience) a requirement to interface with hardware installed on the client machines will emerge.
    Whether this is a barcode scanner or a chipcard reader to get client information from some form of card issued to the client, or maybe a label printer to print out labels for medication bottles doesn't matter, you need to access the client machine directly.
    Web applications have great difficulty with that (in fact, it's all but impossible).
    You could go for an applet solution but that's contrived at best and still leaves the same problems.
    So in your situation an old-fashioned client/server application (maybe using web services to communicate with the serverside application) is likely the best longterm solution.
    You'd have the database remote so everyone has access to the same data, being accessed through processes run on the server and called by the clients. These can also do most of the business logic, leaving the clients relatively dumb responsible mainly for data validation and entry and presentation of the results.

  • Best solution for media storage

    Hi Everyone,
    I am looking for suggestions/how-to on the best setup for media storage. We have two editors (and two computers - Mac Pro PowerPC and iMac Intel). We are currently using an internal 500 GB slot on the Mac Pro along with 1 additional external 1.5 TB drive. Then, on our iMac we use a 1.5 TB external drive. We use, for external drives, LaCie.
    Here's our problem. We are running out of space. So, what is the best solution for media storage? Should we get a small rack for our external drives from LaCie and daisy chain them? Or, should we get a server? The only problem I have with a server is connection speed...we, most of the time, have a slow connection at our college.
    p.s. here is a link to LaCie's website listing a rack...and we have the d2 drives. So, do you daisy chain them or plug each one in individually?

    Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Everyone!
    Thank you all for your suggestions. I agree...Drobo looks great, but I am finding more and more bad news when it comes to editing. It looks like a great solution for archiving. I received another solution with great reviews from one of my colleagues contacts. They work for a big company.
    Hope this helps...something else to add to the mix.
    *Our edit suite storage solution is a Facilis Terrablock 24EX unit. (http://www.facilis2.com/24ex.html) It has 18TB of space and is connected on 4GB Fibre channel to both suites. On top of that we have an Apple X-Serve running Final Cut Server that sorts and catalogs all the video we put in so network users (Mac and PC) can search and look at media from their workstations. We just put this in a few months ago. Before that we had a Rorke Data Galaxy HDX with 6TB of space on a 2GB Fibre Channel connection. ( http://www.rorke.com/av/galaxy-hdx.cfm ) It’s now a backup storage unit. Both systems have excellent performance though, we upgraded mostly for space and the server software.*
    Again, thank you all for your help. I will research all suggestions.
