Complete Newbie with Organizing Question

Please understand that I'm a complete Neophyte at Mac, and iPhoto. Please respond accordingly.
I'm a Windows guy who has succumbed to the intrigue and mystery of the Mac. I've got the Intel Dual Core iMac with 250GB HDD and 1 GB RAM. I just got it less than a month ago, and I've managed to fill up the internal hard drive to the top. My largest HDD space is taken up by my photos. Before reading any documentation (Windows guys rarely read documentation) I "moved" my iPhoto Library from the "me" user directory/folder over to a "shared" directory/folder.
Long story short, I now have multiple copies of photos, and the calendars and books we were beginning to work on have lost their pointers to the appropriate pictures.
Here's the jist of my question. Can I just delete the entire iPhoto Library, and all the photos and then sort of start over from scratch? I still have all my originals on my PCs that are all home networked together.
My apologies for my ignorance, and also if this is covered somewhere else in the discussion forum. I'm just a bit frustrated, as well as a bit inpatient to get it all fixed. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mike,
Delete your old library
Under your account, open iPhoto
A new library will be created
Import your photos
Close iPhoto
Do a "get info" on the external drive to make sure it is formated for a Mac.
If not, use Disk Utility, found in your Utilities folder to erase it and format it for a Mac. You can also partition the drive at this time. One partition you can use for your iPhoto Library folder and the other partition you can use for backups.
Here is an Apple kb on moving the library to an external
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93037
Take a look at my last post in these threads that have to do with trying to share a library.

Apple newbie with dummy question

I have a question about my 3 day old Core Duo. I'm connecting just fine and love my machine, but before I go paying bills/banking/etc online, I want to make sure my connection is secure. I'm connecting wirelessly via a Lynksis WRT54G router. The very first time I turned this bad-boy on, it asked for a password to the network, but hasn't since. I'm afraid I may have "keychained" the password or opened the network to everyone or something. Is there a way to check? I chatted with an agent, and they said since it was a third party thing (Lynksis), they couldn't answer. All I want to make sure of, is that my connection is secure with either WPA/WEP. I don't even know what that means, I just know it makes it secure! Again - first time Apple user (unless you count my Dad's IIC when I was 8) - so please assume I'm a dummy when you reply!
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt
Goto your router's config at http://192.168.1.1 the default user is admin and the password is admin
goto the wireless tab then wireless security. Make sure your using WPA-PSK and NOT WEP.
WEP is easily cracked WPA is a lot more secure.
The first time you connect to a wireless network you do have the option to add the password to the keychain, this is normal and does not have any security problems.
To check to see if you had added your wirless network password to your keychain open up the keychain Access found in /Applications/Utilities
You can then see a list of all the keychain entries you may see your wireless network listed in there.

Newbie with LOM Questions

I recently setup our new Intel xServe, mainly for file and print services. I have no problems using or connecting to the LOM processors with the Server Monitor App. But my question is which LOM port should I be using to connect with Server Monitor? I can connect to both at the same time, and both give the same info. Is there a better one to use?
Also, in Server Monitor it list the LOM processors IP in both the IP address and Name columns. I would like to be able to change so that it would list the servers name in the name column. Any ideas?
Thanks for any reply's in advance.

I can't answer No.1 but here are my views on 2 and 3.
2. That is true at the moment, there are no Mac viruses or other malware out in the wild. This may change in the future, but for now you are quite safe. If you intend to install Bootcamp and Windows, then you will in the windows environment be exposed to all the windows viruses, etc.
3. I very rarely shutdown my iMac, usually only if I go on holiday or need to reboot after a software install. I always use sleep even for longer than 8 hours.

Newbe with a question

First, I would like to say Hello to all of the other forummers, as being a newbe.
And as a newbe, I offcourse have a question....
Will the new AMD 333fsb series processors run on my KT3 mainboard, after obviously flashing the bios?
Thanks in advance, David.
Config: MSI kt3 ultra, xp1800, geforce 2ti, 512mb apacer ddr2700, 7200rpm maxtor and chello cable connection.

I heard somewhere that the chipset will support it but I don't know if MSI will work to get this board to support it.

Potential Newbie with Synch Questions

Hi,
I am seriously considering purchasing a BB8120, but I have questions about how much information or data is synchronized when synchronizing with Outlook 2007. I would like to be able to synchronize my calendar and contacts, but can anyone please tell me HOW MUCH of each is synchronized? Is the synchronization true, in that when I look at my calendar on BB it will have the exact same information and features as my desktop, and when I look at my contacts on BB it will actually have name, phone, address, e-mail, etc?
Thanks!

A newbie with another question

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm just in my first semester of programming. I'm confused as to what syntax is required when you use classes with a couple of methods inside? In one of my programs, our professor provided us with a file called Zipfstatistics.class and though he told us that the two methods are Slope(wordFrequency) and RSquared(wordFrequency), I can't seem to compile them properly. I've tried compiling them as text.Slope(wordFrequency) and text.RSquared(wordFrequency) respectively and both produce compiler errors. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks again people.

Newbe with iWeb question

Hello all new here and no computer expert by all means so please bare with me.
Trying to create a web page for a for a friend
What i would like to do is have a bio section for crew members. What would be the best way to do this??????
I would like to have one heading that says (The Crew) and then sub headings with each persons bio.
The only way i see how to do this is to create multiple (about me's) this would be fine but i would like them all under one heading.
Thanks for you help

Rather than use a template you can start with a Blank page in whatever theme you are using.
Drag photos onto the page from the Finder or iPhoto and resize then to suit.
Insert text boxes for headings, sub headings and content. Make sure you use a web safe font.....

MOVED: Newbie With A Question

This topic has been moved to Graphics Cards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252068.0

This is interesting, I believe I found what is an ASCII->Unicode file converter for OSX. It is a command-line tool, so you would need to know how to use terminal.
Go to this page and take a look:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=TECkitDownloads
The installer is:
TECkit version 2.2.1 for Mac OS X
Jonathan Kew, 2006-09-19
Download "TECkitinstaller2.2.1.tar.gz
I downloaded it and installed it, the command to launch it is:
/usr/local/bin/txtconv
which returns an instruction page. This looks like a document converter, not a filename converter.
I don't have any non-english files here so I can't test it, but maybe someone who knows more about command tools can help you more, like the UNIX forum on these boards.
PS:
I did tun the command on a test file like this:
/usr/local/bin/txtconv -i ~/testIN.txt -o ~/testOUT.txt
and it did create a new output file but no translated characters. If you would send a few files to my email address I'll mess with it for you.
See my profile for that address.

Newbie with easy question

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and want to hook up my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV260.
It appears the ieee394 on the Sound Blaster is a 6 pin.
Is that correct?

Does anyone know what cable I need (or if one is available) to go directly from my camera to the Sound Blaster?

I think the Sony i Link cable goes to a 4 pin ieee394 .. but I am not sure.

Thanks for your help.

Apple Airport newbie with some questions before purchasing - please help...

Hello all,
Please excuse my ignorance but despite looking through the relevant online manual I wish to check a couple of things before I purchase the Aiport Express (and then possibly regret it).
I have a Windows XP laptop which connects to the internet through a wi-fi connection (access to the physical router is not available me) and I want to be able to play iTunes on my laptop through my hi-fi (wirelessly).
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me? If so is any extra equipment besides the necessary hi-fi to Airport express cable required?
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup and what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme and why would you ever need an Airport card?
I have no desire for using the Airport equipment as a router or home hub for printing etc. but just streaming iTunes to my hi-fi.
Any help/clarification would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

djsuk43, Welcome to the discussion area!
Am I correct in thinking the Aiport Express will do this for me?
Yes
The Airport Express doesn't need to physically connect to the router does it? Or it doesn't need to become the router providing the wi-fi does it?
No and no.
How does 'AirTunes' factor into the setup...
It is simply the term Apple uses for streaming music via iTunes through the AirPort Express (AX).
...what is better about e.g. Aiport Extreme...
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have an audio out port therefore you can't use it to stream music.
The AEBS however does support Ethernet clients, multiple USB printer and multiple USB hard drives.
...and why would you ever need an Airport card?
If you have an older Mac without built-in wireless you would add the appropriate AirPort card to give it wireless ability.

Good afternoon! I addressed in the AT&T company with a question about untying of a sim card of AT&T from my iPhone, all of them made Iphone now is unlocked, I executed all points which were written:
To complete the unlock, simply
1 . Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2 . Ensure a SIM card is inserted into your iPhone.
3 . Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4 . Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
5 . After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Additional information on unlocking can be found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3198
I made everything as well as was written, but on completion of the ios 6.1.3 installation the iPhone asks to be activated through wifi or through a wire to the computer.
I connected Iphone to the computer and the text takes off: (Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please TR again later, or contact customer care! )
how to me to activate my iPhone?
I hope for your help....

Hey APPLELovestory,
We have an article that goes over troubleshooting iPhone activation issues here:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
Hope that helps,
David

Newbie with fill-able form distribution questions

Please can someone help me understand a few things about creating electronic forms in LiveCyle Designer ES so our HR department can:
Make the blank forms available on our Intranet
Make the forms fill-able by our own employees with Intranet access and Acrobat Reader 6 and above.
Allow the form and the form data to be emailed back to HR as an PDF attachment
Allow HR to send out the part filled form as an email attachment to Authorising managers (numerous people involved in the authorisation process)
Allow the authorising managers to submit their authorisations back to HR
Allow HR to store and print the completed forms with all the authorisations (not digital signatures, just email addresses I think)
Is the above possible just using LiveCycle Designer ES (stand-alone version) to create the forms, saving as 6.x, setting the compatibility tab settings correctly, sending to HR so they can do the distribution bit in Acrobat and then putting the form_distributed.pdf file on the Intranet? Or do we need other tools to accomplish the above?
Best Regards to all.

I'm pretty sure this is possible with a standalone version of LiveCycle Designer. I don't believe any of the functionality you described requires a LiveCycle server. My only caution would be the use of Adobe Reader 6.0. At the very least, if you can push the use Reader 7.0 (or even better 8.0), your ideas will function better. There is a pretty big gap from 6.0-7.0. If you'd like to discuss this further, feel free to email me.
Hope this helps!

Newbie with a Motif ES8 - optimum setup with a minimalistic approach?

hi,
I'm trying to decide on the optimum setup with a minimalistic approach!
I a newbie with the Motif ES8 and am at cross roads deciding on the type of computer setup for my VST.
PC + Cubase vs. MAC + Logic Pro or Logic Pro Express?
With MAC, how far do I need to go;i.e. MACBook Pro a must?
how many USB ports (types 400 vs 800), etc?
With Logic Pro, is Express going to be sufficient for a full soup to nuts recording and mastering given that this is for a home studio setup though with an idealist running it?
I'm a one woman show and so don't need too many inputs/outputs. I'd be recording a track at a time and my songs take up less than 16 tracks.
I would really appreciate any and all responses.
Roya
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

thanks for the detailed response PK
so, the extra USB port on the HD would facilitate a
hub type interface i.e. once you hook up another\
device to the HD via USB, you're really hooked up to
the computer.. right? and so, if I get a powered USB
Hub, this wouldn't really matter.. correct?
For the most part, you have to be careful hooking
too many devices up to a computer WHEN you are trying
to do some sound work. When they say a computer
can do ABC we sometimes think that should include D.
As for the sound interface, I already have an
Audiophile that has midi in/out, firewire to
computer, RCA jack for i/o. I know its not the high
end stuff but I hope to do a stepwise upgrade here if
at all possible..
That actually might work, if it supports at least
16 bit 44.1 khz that is the lowest you want to go.
Ideally it should be 24 bit to take advantage of Logics
24bit environment. You might be able to run the ES8
straight into those RCA jacks if they are SPDIF and your
keyboard has the same on the back.
There are a bunch of people on Motifator discussion
groups that warn against Apple's lack of support for
Logic. Not sure if the concern is only regarding the
combination of Yamaha (Motif) and Apple (Logic).
I went and read that thread, here are some of my thoughts
on some of this.
Can't comment on MAC, but a dear friend of mine who is an audio engineer said >he had walked away from Logic after Apple bought them out. "Straight downhill" >I think is how he put it.
Many windows users just hate Apple and their products.
I think much of it is ignorance. They will say
Macs are junk but when I ask them why
they never have an answer or say something
that is false. It sounds like this "professional"
did not even wait to see that Logic did get better.
Apple charges 200.00 for support of it's Professional
applications. You really do not need it since there are
so many experienced Logic users here that I never had
a question go unanswered. I've noticed on those forums
the same small group of people do most of the problem
solving. I am not overly impressed with Yamaha's support.
I had my questions about my keyboard answered quicker
by those forums. So I guess both companies need work
in this area. Frankly, for recording, I think the Motif
and Logic are a Killer combination. Both have steep
learning curves but once you get up to speed I think
the results speak for themselves. The main difference
in my opinion is that the Motif is the ultimate
performance tool and Logic is the ultimate studio toolshop.
After having a Motif for over a month, I am convinced
it has a steeper learning curve than Logic take for instance
that thread on getting your keyboard to record it's own
audio output. The list of things to do each time is as long
as my arm. In case you did not read it here it is.
First thing – STORE your MIX setup and SAVE the Song to SmartMedia (or USB mass storage device) before resampling it so you have a backup. You would create a mix to balance the instruments the way you like them.
* Select a target track, then press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button.
Setup the parameters for resampling:
* Press [F1] DEST
* Select a TRACK and [KEYBANK] (note) into which you will record the resampled data. You can target either an empty track or the track on which you are going to play (if you are going to play along). If all tracks are full, don't worry, you can still resample anyway.
* Press [F2] SOURCE. Set the source parameters as follows:
- Type = Sample - with this type the Integrated Sampling Sequencer will not create any NOTE-ON data in your sequencer, it will just simply add a new sample waveform to the waveform list
- Source = Resample
- Mono/Stereo = Stereo
- Next = OFF
- Frequency = 44.1k
* Press [F6] REC This will place the sampling sequencer in Standby mode. Set the TrggrMode paramter to Manual
* Press Start on the sequencer and check your levels. If too low set the REC GAIN higher +6bB or +12dB, if the level is to high (clipping- you will see a lightning bolt) lower the GAIN to -6dB or -12dB. When you have checked the levels, press STOP and return to the top of the SONG.
* Press F6 REC to start the Resample, Press [>] (play) to begin recording the resample. The Motif ES will draw the wave as it samples.
* When the song is over press [F6] STOP. The Motif ES will take a few moments to gather the data.
To create the .wav file:
* Press [FILE]
* Press [F1] CONFIG
* Press [SF1] CURRENT
* If you will be saving the resampled song to a SmartMedia Card set the Current parameter to CARD. To save to a USB device, set this parameter to USB
* Press [F2] SAVE
* Set the data TYPE field to WAV
* Cursor down and Name the wave
* (If desired, navigate to the subdirectory where you want to save the *.wav file.)
* Press [ENTER]
* The ES will ask you which TRACK and NOTE to save as a wave file. Enter the values you selected as the sample destination in the procedure above.
* Press and hold the AUDITION button to make sure your sample is there.
* Press [ENTER] and the Motif ES will export the sample as a .wav to your SmartMedia card or USB device.
Once you have configured Logic which are takes about
3 minutes (and only has to be done once)
and set up the keyboard which takes 30 seconds.
(this has to be done once for each session)
you plug your keyboard into your audio interface then
Hit Record
that is the whole list, two words.
Once it is in Logic, you have many way to edit it
and process if needed. The midi is much
easier to manipulate and there are more
ways than the ES has keys. Plus you can add to the
sounds with the internal instruments which are
as sophisticated and as high quality as the ES.
Then if your happy with it you can create MP3's
and burn Red book compliant CD's for
commercial duplication.
It really is a complete setup.
But at any rate I'm going to do some more research on
another scenario, i.e. what about MAC and Cubase? As
you may know Yamaha just acquired Cubase..
I dont think I would be the best to comment on that.
Maybe ask one of the Gurus on the unofficial
website for Cubase, The Cubinator.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
you've been very helpful - thanks again
cheers,

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives.
