Can I share a .accdb data file on OS X Server?

I want to set up a Mac-based computer system for my new business but need to use some PC software too... Can I share a .accdb data file on Snow Leopard Server among the client Macs (which will be running the PC software with Parallels)?

The .accdb file extension is typically used with the Microsoft Access 2007 Database file extension.
While it is possible to serve files from Mac OS X to Windows via SMB protocols, it's not common to serve (shared) databases that way. Few multiuser databases support that, and [Microsoft indicates there are issues here|http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/access-help/ways-to-share-an-access-data base-HA010279159.aspx], and specifically: +This is the simplest option, but it also offers the least functionality. The database file is stored on a shared network drive, and people use the database file simultaneously. Reliability and availability can become issues if there are multiple simultaneous users changing data. All database objects are shared.+
It's far more common to migrate to a native database format and serve that (and Windows clients can access MySQL and other databases via ODBC and JDBC), or to serve the contents of the database from a SharePoint or from SQL Server running on Windows Server.
I know you're not looking to use Microsoft Windows here, but Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server probably isn't a good fit for what I'm assuming is your [construction management application|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12474506] requirement. (If this mixed-OS environment goes off the rails with this application such as with Microsoft Access, who are you going to get support from?)

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

I've done such a thing in C using header files and such but I'm trying to get a direction on how this is accomplished in Java. I'm sorry if I could edit the title I would. If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

Can I force caching of data files?

Our applet is an open-source molecular viewer, http://jmol.sourceforge.net
It fetches molecular model data files from the web server.
The larger molecular model files are a few hundred kb in size.
They are being fetch using URL.openStream(), which uses the URLConnection class.
It seems that the data files are not being cached in the local data cache.
Q: What kinds of files get cached in the local data cache (.jpi_cache or .java/deployment/cache/javapi) ?
Q: Is there anything I can do to ask that my data files be cached?
Thanks,
Michael

>
The Java Plug-in caches files of the following types
downloaded via HTTP/HTTPS:
.jar (jar file)
.zip (zip file)
.class (java class file)
.au (audio file)
.wav (audio file)
.jpg (image file)
.gif (image file)
So your options could be to jar up your files and
access them using the jar util classes (Im not 100% if
this can be done for your situation) or a bit of a
hack, is to rename your files to one of the above.
Hope this helpsI develop Java applets too and I load .zip archives via URLConnection. I got the same problem as -michaelthoward-:
My files (.zip) are almost NEVER being cached. Almost means that if I load the applet from my hardrive (effectively from localhost) they will then be cached.
At the moment I use the "dirty trick" -maherrj- mentioned too,, by renaming my .zip archives to .jpg.
But even then it can happen that bigger files (about 300kb up) are STILL NOT CACHED. This strange and unreliable behaviour of the Applet Plug-In from Sun takes effect from Java 1.2 to 1.5beta2.
If anyone has ideas (I don't dare to speak of fixes) please write.

Ehm, I wasn't referring to you at all... read up,
there's a comment by jschell saying that CGI might be
easier/better for his purposes.
Yep.
I know PHP/Perl/whatever might be easier for some
purposes, but only if you happen to know them and want
to/are able to use them. Ok. But you aren't the one asking the question are you. And the person who asked the question seems to have absolutely no familiarity with Apache or applets.
So whatever they do they are going to have to learn a lot.
And that does indeed suggest that in all likelyhood they have not investigated the alternatives.
And for the vast majority of internet applications, especially with smaller projects (obvious this person is not working with a large team), using perl, or something besides java, is going to be the best business solution. It is simpler, and more secure (probably due to the fact that it is simpler.)
Since this is a Java forum, I
answer under the assumption that people have made a
choice one way or another to use a Java solution to
their problem, so I try to solve it in Java first, and
only when that fails (very seldom) do I turn to other
solutions.You approach problems by arbritrarily deciding to try to solve it in java first and only if you fail do you then look to other solutions?
My first step is to try to figure out which of the various avenues is going to cost less. (And a secondary, but non-trivial concern, is then to convince the customer that just because they have heard of a buzz word like 'enterprise bean' that it doesn't mean that is a cost effective solution.) We must come from different worlds.

Where can I find the Reminders data file in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the data file for the reminders in Mountain Lion? When I recently synced my iPad to iMac it deleted the 50+ reminders that were on the iMac. I have done hourly backups with time machine but would like to know where to go to find these to reinstate them.
Also, does anyone knows how to turn off the reminders sync as I'm not using iCloud and there does not appear to be any option to sync reminders in iTunes?
Thanks a bunch!!

How can I share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon d5100 in Lightroom 4.4?

I am new to shooting RAW NEF and then sharing them in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4. How do you share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon
D5100 that have been downloaded into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4.? Isn't there someway to convert to JPEG for sharing. I have 50th wedding
anniversary photos taken and want to share with family and can't. Thank You for any assistance on this problem.

If you use the inbuilt email option your NEFs would be automatically converted to Jpeg, in accordance with the settings you choose bottom left of the email dialog box (or you can setup your own specific settings).
Alternatively you could export to Jpeg, then attach the exported files to an email outside Lightroom.
Or you could upload them to a web hosting site such as Flickr or Picasa, or maybe use Dropbox or similar.
Bottom line is there are lots of ways of sharing your pictures with your family.

Can I reimport originals after data files are deleted?

While selecting photos to burn to a cd I copied folders from the 'Data' folder in iPhoto library. I then moved several individual files, which I did not require for the burn, from the cd to trash - before I had burned. I did not realise that this would delete the data files from the iPhoto library itself. I emptied trash before checking back with iPhoto and now, of course, those images disappear from my library whenever I open iPhoto. However, I still have the photos saved in two locations as 'Originals', but when I try to import them back into iPhoto a message appears to tell me they are unreadable. The 'Originals' files are not corrupted, but how do I reimport them into iPhoto so that they reappear in my Library Data folder in their old locations?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You do know that the Data folder only contains thumbnail sized files that iPhoto uses within the library, right?
If you can see the blank thumbnail boxes in the library and can click on them to bring up the full sized image you have a good chance at recovering the library by rebuilding as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library then you'll have to start with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library. Here's how:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the iPhoto library folder from the desktop. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
In the future, Don't mess with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. See TD's treatis on file access for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can Motion 5 animate from data files?

I would like to create information gauges based data just like the ones you can do in a PC with Dashware. IS there a way to animate objects based on data files? Thanks.

Like Ben says, Motion doesn't support this.
If you're looking for an app like Dashware that runs on a Mac, take a look at RaceRender3. http://racerender.com/RR3/Features.html

About to buy ipad2, Verizon aircard is already built in to my notebook - can I share that Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2?

I am about to buy an ipad2. I already have a Verizon aircard built in to my SONY notebook - can I share that same existing Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2? I would rather not to have to buy a second data plan.
Thanks for your input

No.
If your notebook can be set up as an adhoc WiFi network or HotSpot you could use that instead of activating the plan on the iPad 2.

Synchronous processing of dat file using Adobe Output Server

Hello everyone
I have a doubt regarding Adobe Output Server. Currently my output server is running as a window service named "Adobe Central Output Server" in my machine referring to executable path E:\Jetform\Central\Control\jfservic.exe. It keeps on running irrespective of whether .dat file is present for further processing or not. In case .dat is there in data folder[location where my code writes into .dat file] it picks it up and does all the processing to give the result in form of Print/Fax. But when there is no .dat file present , still the service keeps on running consuming memory & cpu resource.
Curently my code drops a .dat file in data folder and dont bother about what happens to that .dat file afterwards. Its Adobe Output Server service that is running that keeps on monitoring data folder for any new dat file to process them further.
I want to stop that window service permanently and i wish to change some logic in my code so that as and when my program drops a .dat file in Data folder then i invoke Adobe Output Server or some of its component so that it picks up that dat file and does all the processing to generate Print/Fax and once its done with processing , the execution of Adobe central server ends. And it remains dead till its invoked by the program to process a new dat file.
So basically i was wondering whether there is possibiliy of invocation of Adobe Output Server is available or not for synchronous processing of dat file from the code.
Any suggestions , any ideas , any doubts on it are most welcome.
