Connecting MBP to DV Cassette Recorder and External HD

Before getting my MBP, I had a G4 eMac, which had two 6PF firewire outlets. The firewire cables from my external HDs had the matching plugs, and I got a 4PF-6PM adapter for the firewire cable on my DV deck.
The firewire port on the new MBP looks different from the ones on my old eMac (9P?). What kind of adapter should I get? Also, any opinions on getting a firewire card for the ExpressCard 34 slot? I understand they come with two ports. How many pins do those ports have? I guess I'd have to get more adapters for my external HDs and my DV deck.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!

It's a 9-pin FW800 port. It can handle the older FW400 speeds as long as you get the correct cabling (a 6-pin to 9-pin or 4-pin to 9-pin cable). Monoprice.com will have the cables, as will Amazon - I've even seen them at Target.
You may be able to daisy-chain the devices, too.
RE the ExpressCard/34 option, there are cards out there, yes. I have a SIIG dual-port FW400 (6-pin) ExpressCard adapter that works fine with my MBP. Sonnet also makes them, Belkin too, I believe.

Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links. Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support. Anyone have any Ideas! My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it. Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

Running MBP 15 with lid closed and external screen = damaging screen?

I connected an external screen to my laptop with the lid closed and woke it up through my external keyboard. I am vaguely remembering reports stating that heat is vented through the keyboard as well as through the vents in the back.
Does that mean that running the laptop with the lid closed is damaging the machine or specifically the screen?

No, it's fine.

Connect MSFC to FWSM context through and external IPS.

Somebody knows if is possible to successfully pass traffic through an interface bridge between a FWSM and the MSFC using an external IPS Solution as inline physical interfaces?
In theory should work just like vlan bridging in the connection through and internal IDSM-2, like this:
MSFC<---vlan 10--->Inline IDMS-2<---vlan 20--->FWSM Context
What I want is this:
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english :)

I think the same, but I dont want to try it in the production enviroment ;)
Anybody??

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

Aperture, MBP, and external hard drive

I have looked all over the previous topics on this and I'm just confused. I do not want to do the wrong thing and make my life more difficult than it already is.
We have an iMac and a MBP, both with Aperture. We are going on vacation. We want to download our photos perhaps daily to an portable external hard drive. We don't want to bog down the laptop with too many photos. We want to be able to access these photos on the iMac when we get home.
So, what is the best strategy for what we will be doing for these three weeks of vacation? I've read the esoteric discussions. Just a simple solution please for this specific situation.

Sorry to hear your life is difficult. I hope the vacation helps.

I think you answered your own questions do here's how:
_Assuming you don't want to work on the photos while on vacation_.
Bring your laptop and external drive with you. Use any software you like (Aperture, Bridge, Image Capture or your camera's own software) to download your photo's off your camera into a series of folders on your external.
When you get home, plug in the external into your iMac and import the photos into Aperture.
_Assuming you do want to work on the photos while on vacation:_
Plug in your external and Open Aperture to import your photos as referenced images into Aperture.
When importing the photos Choose a folder on your External Hard drive in the"Store files" section of of the import window.
Make sure all of your photos are imported into a new project (at least one, however many is up to you). Arrange, edit and manage your photos within that project or projects as you so wish.
When you return home select the project/s in your MBP and choose FileExportProject
+If you want to keep the photos on the external+, save the project and then import it into your iMAc with the external drive connected.
+If you want to move the photos to your iMac+ click the Consolidate photos into project checkbox as you export the project,. Svae this on to your external and import it into your iMAc.
I hope this eases the burden.

Will MX record work for the incoming mail flow and external mail flow.

Hello All,
I have created 2 machines with windows 2008 R2 workgroup and installed Forefront TMG 2010
I am using the VIP for the external adapter for the NLB and going to connect it through the MX record will it work for the incoming mail flow to the Exchange 2010 and external mail flow.
Is that right what i am doing please suggest. Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Based on my experience, the MX record contains the fully qualified domain name of the messaging server that’s responsible for accepting messages for the domain.
Do you want to configure the TMG server as a secure SMTP relay server? Did you mean that the external DNS server point to TMG’s external IP for the MX rcord and the internal Exchange server is using TMG’s internal IP address as the default gateway? Did you
install any exchange role on the TMG server?
I am sorry to say that I am not quite sure of your deployment, I would appreciate it if you can share your network topology and configuration.
Best regards,
Susie

Old records and cassette tapes

I have a number of old LP records and cassette tapes that I would like to import into Itunes. Is this possible and what would I need to do it ? Any help would be appreciated

One way is to connect your Cassette deck or turntable (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac). If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity. If your Mac came with it installed you could also check out Garageband, I've never used it myself so I'm not sure of it's capabilities.
In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD
If your Mac or PC hasn't got an audio in socket you can have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface

How do you xfer from cassette tapes and vinyl records to pc and/or zen x

hello and greetings to all.
I am new to this forum and have a zen xtra 60 gb. well I am asking for assistance on how i would xfer my cassette tapes and vinyl to my pc and then to my player. I have a std compact stereo system, cd and cassette. The only ports on the back of my stereo are one set of video/aux which connect my stereo to my turntable. I currently have a y cable 2 audio cords (red and white) for my stereo and then a line in port that can connect to my mp3 player. does that end go to the actual player or to my soundcard? Am i even able to xfer tapes/vinyl to my pc/mp3 with this setup or do i need something else to be able to do so. Any and any advice on this will be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot.
dan

You need a line out from whatever you want to record from, and you need to connect this to the line in on your souncard (if you have one).
If you have a Creative soundcard you may well have some software with it than you can use for this. Creative Recorder (which is in the suite with the Audigy range) makes particularly light work of this.
Once you have recorded the files you can edit them pretty easily (assuming they're saved in the WAV format) if required, then convert them to MP3.
Let me know if you need more detail.

DB Connect DataSource PSA records and DSO records are not matching...

Dear All,
I'm working with SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 and for the first time, I have loaded from Source System DB Connect. I have created a DataSource and pulled all records and found 8,136,559 records in PSA. When I designed and created DSO with Key Fields 0CALDAY, Item No and Company Code, it has transferred records about 8,136,559 and added records about 12,534 only. Similarly following InfoCube has about 12,534 records into its Fact table. When I tried to reconcile the data/records with source DBMS for a month, the records/data could not matched?
1. What could be the reason behind the issue? why I am unable to load the records/data correctly?
2. Have I not mentioned the Key Fields of DSO in a correct manner?
3. Is it possible to load the records/data into DSO without giving any field as Key Fields?
4. How should I resolve this issue?
5. Is it could be of DSO Overwrite and summation function utilization if yes, then how to utilize it?
Many thanks,
Tariq Ashraf

Dear Tariq,
1. What could be the reason behind the issue? why I am unable to load the records/data correctly?
Ans: Check transformation once. Is there any start routine you have used or direct assignments. What kind of DTP settings you have done.
Check the messages at the DTP monitor. You will surely find some clue. Any duplicate records are being detected or not check once if you are using semantic keys in your DTP.
2. Have I not mentioned the Key Fields of DSO in a correct manner?
Ans: The transformation key and the DSo key are they same in your case?
What kind of DSO is it? Like for sales order DSO you take Order number as a key field., So you have to define the key fields according to business semantics I suppose. Do you agree?
3. Is it possible to load the records/data into DSO without giving any field as Key Fields?
Ans: I dont think so as the keys you defined will help in having unique data records isnot it?
4. How should I resolve this issue?
Ans: Please check the above as in Ans:1 please share your observation.
5. Is it could be of DSO Overwrite and summation function utilization if yes, then how to utilize it?
Ans: DSO overwriting of key figures is useful when you have full loads in picture. Are you always going to perform full loads ?
For reference would you like to check this thread: Data fileds and key fields in DSO
Lets see what experts give their inputs.
Thank You...

I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?

Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

You don't need Apple TV. But you do need the Apple Composite cable to connect your iPad to your TV.

You can also use the VGA Adapter as well.
