Can I allocate RAM as disk space- like the old 'RAM disk' back in the day

I've got 11 gigs of RAM, and Photoshop wants <4. Is there a way I can allocate some of the leftover RAM through the OS-- similar to the old 'RAM disk' back in the day? If I could, I could make it the primary scratch disk for Pshop and hopefully see a significant in-app speed increase.
I'm posting this as an OS question, not a Pshop question.
Thanks

You would need to search at VersionTracker or MacUpdate to see if there is a compatible utility for a ram disk. There were several such animals around but nothing more recent than 2008. They may still work, but no assurances that they do. Use with caution. Be sure to check that they are Intel compatible at the very least.

Chrome 'syncs' your information to its servers, so you can restore this information when you sign into your account, regardless of what device you are using. As for the latter part of your comment, I am not really following. I don't have Chrome currently installed on my machine so I can not help you step by step. All I know is you must SIGN IN to your google account on chrome and check the chrome preferences.

Why is there a thin dark line between two of my three cover images that wasn't there before? When I delete the images, you can tell that there is extra space between the first two image boxes.

Getting ready to purchase my first book, I looked over everything once more and noticed that there is now a thin gray line between the first two of my three cover images. I believe this may have happened when I switched out the left image. When I delete the images, you can see an extra space between the center and left image boxes. How can I fix this without starting over?

Can I make a calendar that works like the "Birthday Calendar" that updates for something like an anniversary?

I would like to have a calendar called Anniversaries that updates like Birthdays. Is there a way to do this? I like the way it shows the age of the person and would like it to show the number of anniversaries. This would be most helpful for many types of anniversaries. I have it now as a birthday but it is somewhat cumbersome and would seem to work better as a separate calendar.

Here's what I've done which may work for others. I've scrapped the idea of using the birthday reminders function. Instead, I created a new calendar (click the settings icon in the upper right of the icloud website) called "Birthdays-Non Contact". Then I entered the missing bdays as all day events (repeating every year) on this calendar. So now all my birthdays show on my main calendar....some come from the birthday field in the contacts database and the rest come from my newly created "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar events.
Interestingly, if I choose to show only my "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar, all my contact birthdays appear on it as well, so it gives a complete list of all my birthdays and nothing else....cool.
I should say, everything I'm talking about is what I see on the ICloud site. My husband has the phone at the moment which I presume will show the same picture.

Can't open a file with spaces on the filename.

Lets say I have a file:
/home/orv/Open - Me - Please.txt
When I double click to open that file with any program, the result is something like this:
"Unable to find /home/orv/Open%20-%20Me%20-%20Please.txt"
I'm not sure what to call that process of converting the file name so I've been unable to google it up to find a fix or a way to change the behavior of the file manager.
I've checked the settings in Nautilus and nothings there. Any clues? Thank you!

I tried removing everything in my home directory to erase all settings, still the same problem.
I tried using a different file manager and still the same problem.
Here's another example of my problem and its quirks:
Lets say I have a file called:
/home/orv/I am a Movie.avi
In nautilus or thunar, double-clicking that file so I can play it with Mplayer will give an error:
Failed to open file:///home/orv/I%20am%20a%20Movie.avi
However, when I drag and drop using the file manager into Mplayer, it works.
So my problem is this automatic conversion of whitespaces into the %20 which I don't know how to turn off.

Mail & Yahoo: how can I get "Sent" folder to synch, like the "Inbox"?

Happy to be back in Mac, after 15yrs of corporate MS boredom. And TIA for your help with my little 'set-up' problem.
I'd like that my "Sent" mailbox (in Mail.app) mimic the functionality of my "Inbox" mailbox, as relates to my Yahoo!Plus email account. What do I mean? My Inbox associated with my Yahoo account, i.e. in the Mail sidebar under the higher-level Inbox mailbox, contains every email that was in my Inbox on the Yahoo server (and still is, since I chose not to "Remove a copy from the server after retrieving a message, in Mail>Prefs>Accts>Advanced pane).
But the "Sent" mailbox associated with my Yahoo account only contains the messages I send from the Mail application (clearly only when I choose to use the Yahoo account). Also, none of these messages appear in the Sent folder on the Yahoo server, i.e. when I go to the Yahoo site via a web browser, which I'll do when not carrying the Mac with me.
Otherwise, setting up Mail to work with Yahoo was a breeze. N.B. I pay the $20/yr fee for the Mail Plus account/service, so didn't get stuck with the "pay to play" issue that many others have when trying to set up their free Yahoo acct w/Mail.
I recall having this "Sent" folder functionality when I was using Outlook a couple of years ago, hence the answer to 'why would this guy have been paying $20 a year...?'. And I don't/won't go there on my Mac!
Thanks, again, for any help.
MBP 15" Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Necessity being the Mother of invention, I built a crude work-around and fixed half of the problem. I'd still be interested to hear if any of you have 'solved' the other half.
First half fix: On the mail.yahoo.com site, go to the Sent folders and select all of the messages there. Then, in the header, click on the "Move..." button and then select the "Inbox" as the destination. (N.B. This can not be undone; You can move messages from the Inbox to other folders, but not to your Sent folder. Go figure.) The next time you synch (or "Get Mail") from the Mac's Mail app, these "sent" messages will appear in your Inbox. Sort the Inbox by sender and move the messages sent by you to your "Sent" mailbox folder.
Now you've got a complete history of emails, both sent and received, on your Mac.
Second problem not fixed: Messages sent from the Mail app do not appear in the "Sent" folder on mail.yahoo website. So while your Inbox is synchronized between your Mac and your yahoo! account, your Sent items are not.
I was hoping that synching my Mac Mail with .Mac would allow me to see my sent messages remotely, from any internet browser. But at first blush, that dog don't hunt.
Any advice - short of a wholesale move to my @mac.com email - would be appreciated greatly. Even if the advice is "give up the ghost; can't be done; give up the yahoo email"!
Cheers.

Why can't I get my Mac to like the LDAP server?

On Monday I started hammering away at getting the LDAP server setup on the Linux server with openldap. I was able to get a test Mac running Leopard to see the LDAP server and the accounts. The next battle was to get home directories to mount under /home. I was about to do that after finding a working ldif example using automaster and autohome. After that I was able to get the Public share automatically mounted on /Network/Public. Wonderful!
Tuesday I came in thinking that the next battle would be with Samba. Unfortunately, somewhere in powering off the Mac and rebooting it, I lost all the share mounting! It still sees the accounts, but it absolutely will not see the mounts. In trying to figure it out I have wiped the LDAP database and restarted it, I have wiped the test Mac twice, I have made sure the Mac is running the latest updates, and still nothing.
If I go into dscl this is now what I see:
ls Automount/
Record Name Unknown
Record Name Unknown
ls AutomountMap/
Record Name Unknown
Record Name Unknown
cat Mounts/10.110.1.1:\/share\/public/
dsAttrTypeNative:cn: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
dsAttrTypeNative:objectClass: mount top
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /LDAPv3/10.110.1.1
RecordName: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Mounts
On the LDAP server, the records look like:
dn: automountMapName=auto_master,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
automountMapName: auto_master
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
dn: automountKey=/home,automountMapName=auto_master,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountKey: /home
automountInformation: auto_home
dn: automountMapName=auto_home,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
automountMapName: auto_home
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
dn: automountKey=*,automountMapName=auto_home,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountKey: *
automountInformation: 10.110.1.1:/home/&
dn: cn=10.110.1.1:/share/public,ou=mounts,dc=example,dc=com
mountDirectory: /Network/Public
objectClass: mount
objectClass: top
mountType: nfs
cn: 10.110.1.1:/share/public
It looks like for some reason it's either missing entries from the LDAP server, and/or it's ignoring some of the mapping and leaving them out. The Mounts entry is missing the VFSLinkDir which maps to mountDirectory. The Automount stuff is missing the RecordName which maps to automountKey and automountMapName.
What the heck happened? Why does the Mac refuse to see the LDAP server the way it did on Monday?

I am having something similar going on and can't sort out what it is doing:
ldiffs:
dn: automountMapName=auto_master,dc=example,dc=edu
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
automountMapName: auto_master
dn: automountKey=/foo,automountMapName=auto_master,ou=Mounts,dc=soe,dc=ucsc,

9/25/09 11:45:25 AM automountd[1101] ds_search failed

It seems like it can't find the trigger point tstaff. It is looking for:

which isn't what the DN is in ldap:

any thoughts?

Can iPhone Mail redirect mail to subfolders like the Apple desktop Mail app

In my Mail app on my computer, I have Rules set up so that certain emails from various people get moved to a few different subfolders I have set up. However, in my iPhone, they all come to my primary email address. Is there any way to make iPhone mail behave and redirect certain emails to subfolders? I belong to a few beta test groups and the amount of email is staggering, so I've rather have these emails redirected. Any advice? Thanks.

No - the iPhone does not include a rules feature to sort recieved messages by category, and you can't create mailboxes with the iPhone's Mail client. The iPhone's Mail client is a compliment to the email client used on your computer for accessing the account, not a replacement for.
With an IMAP account along with storing all user created mailboxes on the server for sorting recieved messages by category, all server stored mailboxes will be available with the iPhone's Mail client and kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. If you keep the Mail.app on your Mac launched and running, any sorting of received messages to user created server stored mailboxes based on rules with the Mail.app on your Mac will be reflected automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not possible with a POP account.

I would like to get the new version, please help! Thanks, Kristal

I updated to the IOS 7, but wanna go back to the 6.1.3 can I do that ? I dont like the new look.

Please help !!

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

I live in Louisiana. Every search, and website that I vist lists local events or preferences for Chicago. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? It's almost like the internet thinks that I live in Chicago?????

If I go to google news, it automatically lists local news for Chicago. If I go to any website that lets me look at local events, it pulls events for Chicago. Even Pepsi Refresh project, I clicked a button for "projects near me" and it pulls projects in Chicago. WHY?

Can I migrate physical hard disks in storage space from Windows 2012 R2 to Windows 2012?

Hi,
We have a Windows 2012 R2 server. It's running storage space with 10 hard disk in Parity mode. We would like to move the hard disks from Windows 2012 R2 server to Windows 2012, so that we can "free" our windows
2012 R2 server to do something else. Can we just unplug the hard disks in Windows 2012 R2 and hook it to Windows 2012 server without any data lose? If we can do it, what's best "formal" procedures to do it?
Thanks,
Tak

Hi Tak,
Storage space will be recognized in different servers (and even clients) which support.
If it is just a "Parity mode", you can turn off the computer, unplug and connect these disks to the new server directly.
If any Windows Server 2012 R2 new feature is involved, it may not work in Windows Server 2012 but it should not damage your data and you can still connect these hard disks back to original server.
However, backup important files is always recommended.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
