Best way to setup system!! Pls Help!

I just bought a new iMac and I have about 0.7 Tb of movies, photos, and pics on an external 2 tb and 2 tb hard drive with raid 1. I also have another hard drive 2 tb I am using as a time capsule. I have two accounts and I am trying to keep it where every iLife app opens the library on the external hard drive. I had this set up with FireWire on my old computer but now it's USB 2.0 Bc the new iMacs do not have FireWire.
What do u think is the best way to set this up?
Also iPhoto aperture and iTunes are straightforward Bc they save all the files in their app
iMovie is more challenging.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Connect with the USB connection if that is all you have or upgrade to Thunderbolt EHDs or USB 3.0 EHDs if you find the speed insufficient. It's really that simple. BTW you are not using Time Capsule, you are using Time Machine. Time Capsule is hardware, Time Machine is a backup app that Apple has supplied since Leopard was first introduced in 2007.

Advice on best way to setup Disaster Recovery for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4

Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on the best way to setup Disaster Recovery for a SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 install deploying JSF/ADF OC4J applications.
The way we are trying to do it at the moment is manually copy the "applications" and "applications-deployments" folders for the OC4J application on the production server, then compress and ship the files across to the DR application server nightly. (We don't require high availability).
In the event of a disaster we then extract the files and copy to the OC4J instance (pre-created and configured) on the DR server. Unfortunately to date we haven't been able to reliably setup a DR application (seem to mostly get 404 errors etc), even though the OC4J application has its connection pool resolved to the DR database and is showing as "up" in the ASConsole.
My question is, is there a more "native" way to do what we are trying to do. We do not have Enterprise version of SOA Suite or 11g database so any advanced recovery features are not an option. The setup is also stand alone, i.e. we are not using clustering or RAC etc.
Any ideas would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Leigh.
PS we are also running the production apps server with Oracle Application server 10g 10.1.2.3.0 as the HTTP apache server (with Forms, Reports and Discoverer deployed) and the SOA Suite 10.1.3 applications use the 10.1.2 HTTP server via the HTTP to AJP bridge. So the 10.1.3 OC4J instance is configured to use AJP on port range 12501 - 12600.

For enterprise solutions, AS Guard would work.

However, since advanced recovery options are not available (as you said), then what you are doing should not be too bad.

What is the best way to setup premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps and 23.976fps for final

What is the best way to setup a premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps (CG) and 23.976fps (live action) for final output at 23.976 (vimeo and such).
Right now my sequence is at 24fps, and when I export to 23.976, my dialogues seem to shift.
Should I set my sequence at 23.976fps instead of 24fps?
Thanks in advance for the help, and sincere apologies if this is a noob question.
David

That makes it easy. Remove the CGs from the project. Go to Edit>Preferences>Media... and set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 23.976. Then when you import the image sequence, PP will assign it the correct frame rate.
Edit in a 23.976 sequence.

Best Way to setup a disaster Recovery site for a logical standby database

I have a logical standby DB (L1DB) as a reporting db on the same machine as the primary (P1DB). We are planning on building a disaster recovery site with similar hardware and potentially have disk mirroring of atleast the redo log files.
The DR site can hold an additional physical standby (S1DB) for the primary (P1DB). I am trying to understand what would be the best way to setup the Disaster Recovery site for the L1DB logical stdby. Ideally, when the disaster happens, and I no longer have P1DB and L1DB, I should be able to switch to S1DB as the new primary. But how do I setup to have a L2DB that takes the place of L1DB and has its contents and can be setup as a logical standby of S1DB?

If you already setup one logical standby, then you know how it works, so not sure what question you are asking ?
Personally I would setup L2DB as a standby of the original primary P1DB. Having downstream standby databases complicates things, and adds additional lag between primary transaction time and L2DB apply.

What's the best way to setup a media server/central storage for all of my?

I was wondering what the best way to achieve a central media server for all my iTunes content + iPhoto's, calendar syncing and contact sharing is? This is what I currently have:
iMac 20" Aluminum + External HD Backup (kids)
Macbook Black (wife)
Macbook Pro 15" (me)
Airport Extreme 802.11n (obvious)
TimeCapsule 1TB (wifi backup for wife/me)
I would like to replace my PC in my office with a brand new Mac Pro Nehalem 8-Core, 8GB Ram, and 4TB, and replace my PC laptop in my living room attached to my tv, with an Apple TV.
I want to centralize all our Photos from vacations, etc. Music, videos, movies, that are currently split up over wife's macbook, kids imac and my macbook pro onto my soon to be purchased Mac Pro.
I want to be able to stream everything from my living room via Apple TV for when guests come over, dinner parties, etc. (plus I love apple and it keeps things clean)
I'm currently using MobileMe to sync all of our Calendars and Contacts with my main account, which is great, but MobileMe doesn't sync to family members accounts =
What would I need to do to centralize all this onto my future Mac Pro so that everyone has access all the time when they are home and the key here is, modify/update/change from their machines and sync it back/update it on the Mac Pro.
Also, I'm hoping Snow Leopard has some changes to iTunes to make this a little more possible, since we're right around the corner from this release. I don't really want to spend an additional $900+ on Snow Leopard Server to have to achieve these results, but if it makes it easier, and does the job, then I guess I might. This is all speculation though, since it's not out yet. I'd like to get this all sorted and setup within the next month.
I was considering a Drobo, they say they can throw up iTunes Server but, I appreciate everyone for reading this, and taking the time to respond!
Thanks!

I'm in the process of setting up a smaller (and cheaper) but somewhat similar setup to what you want to do, so maybe one example might help point you in the right direction. My needs consist of a centralized location for data storage, which will include iPhoto libraries (I keep two separate ones), iTunes (which I also want served to the home theater system), something other than my laptop to play internet videos and downloaded content on my TV, all with ideally the lowest cost and energy use possible.
My solution was the new Mini with a FW800 external drive as the server/media hub and Airport gigabit as the network hub (it also handles the backup drive).
FW800 is fast enough to saturate a gigabit ethernet link, so I don't consider that much of a bottleneck. The Mini then has iTunes running at all times with its centralized library on it; it is hooked to the home theater via HDMI-DVI video and optical audio, so it can play music and also handle videos when desired; Front Row with the Apple remote is close enough to an AppleTV that I think it handles that well, and it's more full-featured than an AppleTV. It can further be used to display photos/slideshows/whatever on the TV for guests or such, or to surf from the couch with a wireless mouse/keyboard. You can also toss in an EyeTV for $150 and use that as a DVR if you feel like it.
When I want to edit photos or such on my desktop, the gigabit link is fast enough that I can run iPhoto without noticing any significant slowdown. Its also usable over wireless, though I have a dangling extra network cable to plug into a laptop for full gigabit speed if need be. iTunes, of course, shares its library, which can be played from any of the computers in the house if so desired (iPhoto can do that too if you just want to display).
If I REALLY wanted top speed (though I've even done video editing in iMovie via ethernet without issue), I could use a third party synch app (I like Sync) to mirror any of the content from the mini server to a local drive; this works fine with anything but multi-way synching, such as address books being modified in different locations. I'd probably try to set up one of those Mobile Me clone systems or use a 3rd party app if I needed to do that.
Again, maybe this isn't powerful enough or "synched" enough in terms of local storage for your taste, but the advantage is that a Mini uses a minute fraction of the power of a Mac Pro, so you're saving a lot on electricity if the computer will be powered up at all times as a server, and it's also a lot more full-featured as a home theater media hub than an AppleTV. And, heck, the thing is about as well equipped as my old top-of-the-line G5 tower for a 5th the cost and 1/15th the power and noise.

Best way to author field level help for a CHM?

Hi
I have been asked to create an HTML help (CHM) system for a .Net application which will include context sensitive help at both page and field level.
I have used map ids for page level help before - i.e. assigned a map id to topics and given this list to a developer for implementation, but I have never created field level help.
I've been looking at the 'What's This?' help project wizard but am confused as to whether this is the best approach and how it fits with the project as a whole (or even if it compatible with .Net applications). Does this mean that I need two help projects for the application - one for the main help, and one for the field level help? Is there a way to create field level help without using the 'What's This?' wizard?
I am using Robohelp 7.
Any advice gratefully received!
Chloe

Hi, Chloe,
As Peter notes, even Microsoft has backed away from using field-level Help in the last few years, so it may be worth trying to determine whether your users will benefit from having it available to them. That's not to say that you can't deliver field-level Help, however, as all the required methods for calling it are still available to .NET developers.
To clarify, what Madcap Software calls "DotNet Help" is just a proprietary Help viewer that the company hopes will be more modern and appealing to writers than the older HTML Help (.chm) viewer. HTML Help remains the recommended format for Windows applications, whether .NET or not, and you can use any authoring tool that is capable of outputting a .chm file to create online Help for a .NET application.
The method that your developers use to call field-level Help determines how it should be authored. If they use the standard .NET method (the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider class), each text string is embedded in the application code itself, and not retrieved from your .chm file. More information here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.sethelpstring(VS .71).aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821777
http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm
Alternatively, developers can use the old HTML Help API to retrieve the text string from a .chm file. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670082(VS.85).aspx
http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_whatsthis.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317406
The drawback of both methods is that the Help popups are plain text only — no graphics, text formatting, hyperlinks, etc. To work around this, some people use the third-party KeyHelp control to create feature-rich HTML popups. See:
http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
This allows you to deliver the type of Help that you mentioned in your second message ("is there a way to do this so that these topics open in a small popup, without the TOC / tri-pane structure?").

Best way to setup Gmail on iOS 4 on a 3GS

Prior to upgrading my 3GS to iOS 4, I have had my email set up as follows:
* Gmail is my primary email account
* I have Gmail importing a secondary POP account
* My iMac syncs Calendar and Contacts to Google
* My 3GS links to my Gmail account as a MS Exchange server (Mail, Contacts, and Calendar)
* Most of the time I use the iPhone Mail App
* Sometimes I use the Google Gmail app
This has worked OK.
Q: With iOS 4, should I keep my current setup but disable Mail on the Exchange Server side, then set up another account using the iPhone Gmail option with just Mail enabled? Or should I delete this account (or disable Mail, Calendars, and Contacts) and create an iPhone Gmail account?

Thanks sinious! Very helpful. Your suggestion makes sense. I just looked up the latest adoption stats and it looks like 90% of users
are on iOS 7.
I guess I'm wondering if restricting the OS version is the *best* way to exclude iPod/iPhone 1st-3rd gen.
It's seems like many people are adding
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key><string>front-facing-camera</string>
to the info-additions section of their XML application descriptor file. But I understand this comes with a small risk Apple will reject your app (because it imposes a restriction you don't actually use). Also, I've read of one post where someone said this didn't exclude iPhone 3GS for him.
So, I'm wondering out of the two approaches - 1) front-facing-camera and 2) restricting OS version to 7.0 or higher - which one most people use and their experiences with them. Which one's the best? Are they both considered reliable?
I just don't want to screw up my app submission. I here that if you get app approved with a compatibility for a particular device (eg. iPhone 3GS), you can't remove it in updates.
Thanks!

What is the best way to setup iTunes with my current configuration?

I currently have an iPhone 5 and a new iPad. My wife has the iPhone 4S. I do all the syncs (even my wifes) on the same Windows 7 machine. She has a different apple ID than I do and I share one apple ID accross my iPhone and iPad.
I have a Windows Home Server 2011 box that stores all my photos and music files. I am able to connect to the box from the Windows 7 machine without issue. I have several media diretories. One of the directories contains all my iTunes music and another seperate directory contains all my photos.
Here is the question. If I want to sync my iPhone 5 and my new iPad so that I download all the music files and photos how should I setup iTunes? How should I sync my wifes iPhone so she gets all the Photos and music files? One of my chief concern is being able to automatically sync apps and "new" photos taken from either phone back to my file server photo directory.

Migration Assistant is the best way to get everything.

Best way to setup 2 iPods, 1 MacBook, 1 iTunes store account?

I just got a iPod Nano (2nd Gen) for Christmas. My wife has a MacBook and a 30GB iPod Video as well as the iTunes account. We've been sharing her iPod but now she says I've got to get my stuff off since I've got my own. We have alot of CDs loaded into iTunes that we both like and also some stuff that only one of us likes (CDs, podcast, etc.). I want to just use her MacBook and iTunes Store account to manage my iPod (until we can afford to me a mac) but I'm not sure how's the best way to do that. I have my own user setup on the Macbook but don't have any access to the music at this time.
Suggestions?

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Mac
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:

What's the best way to setup multiple iDevices?

I have three iPods (1-3 & 2-4) and 2 iPads2, they are all tied into my own Apple ID and with the new changes/upgrading to iCloud what would be the best way to set these guys up?
I have my own playlist that I like to listen on my iDevices, but some of the songs or even movies are not appropriate for my kids so how would I set it up so not all music/photos/videos are made available on all my devices?
With the library I already have, is it just best to nuke the iDevices and start fresh with iOS5?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to create multi websites on the VPS with one static IP address.
Your question is more about IIS instead of DNS server. IIS has provide the function about creating multi websites on one machine. You may post on IIS forum for official support:

Best way to setup dual GPU?

Hello,
I just got a new intel CPU that has an integrated GPU and now I am wondering how to set up my system.
I already have a Radeon 280x on the open source driver and play games with it, both natives and through wine.
I'd like to be able to use Qemu's passthrough, so for that I suppose I would need to plug my main monitor to my motherboard's HDMI instead of my Radeon's. But then would I be able to play native games on the radeon?
Same thing for Xorg, is there a good way to setup both cards or does it have to be one at a time and restarting Xorg when I need the other?
Thanks!

Would you have a configuration example on how to do this? Or even some documentation I can read?
I might have also not made myself very clear on the initial post. I do have vlans on both of the 3550's. The 3550 on the left has VLAN2 and the one on the right has VLAN3. I would like to be able to create VLAN4 and have VLAN4 available on all of the switches but with leaving the OSPF routing as is.
So far the documentation I have been reading only talks about creating l2 trunks between the swtiches, and as far as I can tell you cannot do that on a routed port. So now I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks.

Best way to setup WRT300N as an Access Point

I have upgraded my wireless network to 802.11n by replacing my 802.11g AP and NICs in the kids computers with Linksys gear. My old wireless router was configured as an Access Point (no gateway functions). What's the best way to set the WRT300N like that?
I have connected my wired LAN to one of the switch ports (not the WAN port), disabled DHCP, Firewall, & NAT. This seems to work but I'm not sure if it's the best way to do this. Performance seems a little slow.

the way your network is setup right now is fine. However you say that you are facing speed issues.Is this on the wired or wireless ?
Have you checked what firmware version your currently have on the router.Upgrade if necessary.

Photos- best way to locate and manage (Help!)

I moved to a Mac Pro with the idea that it would be a great computer and help me manage my tens of thousands of photos. I tried to import my photos from an external drive and it failed multiple times. I started using iPhoto and Picasa to manage new photos taken but when I went to send some to my family I couldn't find the ones I imported into iPhoto. After a lot of trouble I realized iPhoto hides the files from you. So I think I exported them all and then I think maybe I found them and moved them to my master repository but then I found thousands of files in the trashcan that I couldn't locate either on my MAC or my external drive. I have no idea what is going on but I'm now very concerned that I've lost photos. I really resent iPhotos heavy handedness in photo management and thus don't want to move to it anymore- I might go back to a PC after this laptop because i can't find files in general and I think the learning curve is too great for me. So my questions are:
1. What is the best way to manage photos in the interim, while I still have a MAC but the bulk of my photos are on an external drive? Will the MAC let me save future pix directly to the external drive? Or should I do all photos through a PC
2. Is there any way to expose the iPhoto files in finder?
3. Has anyone use Picasa with success on a MAC? Am I right in thinking it only stores local photos if you edit them in Picasa? I am having a lot of trouble FINDING photos in Picasa- esp ones imported from my iPhone. It's nice that the mac imports "new" iPhone photos but I can't find them again so that is not so nice.
4. Is there a duplicate detector people recommend? I have made a royal mess of my external hard drive of data as well as this MAC trying to import, find and recover pictures and data.
I am extremely frustrated and i would appreciate any help. I don't have a ton of time since I work full time and have three kids and I basically have done no photo sharing or editing in the 6 months I have had a mac because it's too confusing.
Amy

That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

Best way to setup system!! Pls Help!
