Correct way to set static IP

Hi guys.
I have a fast question: is better to set static IP via /etc/systemd/system/[email protected], access the router setting page and use the "Pre-assign IP addresses" function or both?
Thank you.

It's a router manufactured by my provider and the screenshot is in Italian but i hope it can be useful.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

What's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard

Hi
what's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard?
i want the keyboard to use the Logic's voices, and also to record the midi that is being inputed.
I can do it on One Channel, but when I selct multiple channels, all the channels seem to play all of the input data!!!
anybody??

Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

What is the correct way to set up artwork for a Billboard?

I need to set up photoshop artwork (which consists of about 5 layers) for a 6m x 3m billboard. I set up my whole billboard in Illustrator (at 3m x 1,5m - half of actual size) and placed the psd image in. I set up my photoshop artwork at a third of actual size (3m x 1m at 300dpi). However, this made my file VERY slow to work with (result was about 700mb!!!!). Someone suggested that I downscale the image to 500mm wide and choose resample image > Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction). This scaled my psd file to about 32mb, which worked much faster. Then I saved the psd file as a Tiff with LZW compression without layers and placed into my illustrator file. However, when I export for print as PDFX1a- 2001 my file size was only 17mb!!!! Did I do the whole process correctly?! Will the print quality still be fine for such a big billboard? Is there a better / standard way to set up photoshop graphics for a billboard?

You can use this test to check ppi resolution.
On your desktop printer print a few tiles from the image in real size at different ppi resolutions like 10, 20, 30, 40. Find a wall where you can mark 6 meters, and tape the tiles on it. Now step back to whichever is longer distance - from where you can see comfortably the whole size of the eventual billboard without turning your head or to the distance that will be possible to see the actual mounted billboard, . Choose the ppi resolution on which you can't see pixelation on the printed test tiles.

Correct way to set up mutiple 4410Ns

hello, we have 7 4410N's. i am not sure i have them configured correctly, as connection is very slow, most of the time the connection gets an IP address, but then cannot transmit on network. when you can, pings are 2000-3000ms. each of them have ethernet connection, and identical configuration, save for each is set to a different channel (i think im using 1,3,5,6,7,9,11). i am concerned there is some other issue i am not aware of with my configuration.
i would like to find out the correct way to configure multiple 4401Ns to work together on the same network, assuming same SSIDs are in use on each WAP. can anyone offer me advice on what is correct?

Jonathan,
I assume that when you say "identical configuration" that you mean they have different IP addresses.
How close are the APs to each other? With 7 of them using the channels that you have, if they are within range of each other they will have crosstalk.
If you disable 6 of the APs, do you still get the high response times from the remaining one?

What is the correct way to set a web application to use HTTP or HTTPS?

In the past I've always created an HTTP web application as the default zone. Then extended the web app, creating a new IIS website on port 443 and enabled SSL. This seems to have worked fine, but I recently read an article stating that it is not good to
extend a web app unless absolutely necessary. So can someone tell me what the proper way is to configure a single web application to work with HTTP and HTTPS?

Extending the web application to support both HTTP and HTTPS is a perfectly good method and in fact is the only way to have a web application support both so what you've done is fine.
If the web application will only use HTTPS, you can set this up when you first create the web application. Specify port 443 and the SSL option (and ensure the URL has an https://) when creating the web application. You'll need to install the certificate
in IIS once the web application has been created.

Correct way of setting styles for custom components

Hey everyone,
                        I have a custom component which extends UIComponent and holds a image and a button. If I want to set the default style for my button where do I set it in the createChildren, stylesInitialized , updateDisplayList or styleChanged ? I know styleChanged gets called first but the param is always null
styleChanged = null
stylesInitialized
initialize
createChildren
initializationComplete
commitProperties
measure
updateDisplayList
Cheers,
Firdosh

Thanks for your recommendations. I have seen a lot of components (yahoo-astra e.g) call a static function or use Mixin (asfusion Rating Component)
public class CustomComponent extends UIComponent {
          public static function initializeStyles():void
               var styleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("BaseMultiFieldInput");
               if(!styleDeclaration)
                    styleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
               styleDeclaration.defaultFactory = function():void
                    this.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
                    this.backgroundDisabledColor = 0xdddddd;
                    this.textAlign = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
                    //other styles are based on the framework defaults
               StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("BaseMultiFieldInput", styleDeclaration, false);
          initializeStyles();
is there a reasons why they are set in a static call?

What is the correct way to set up your email accounts in your desktop computer?

In an effort to resolve all sorts of strange behavior taking place with my email, I've been looking into the settings for icloud and Mail, the app. Is there a difference between the "mail, contacts &calendars" settings in system preferences of your desktop computer and the actual account settings in Mail, the app?
More specifically, do I only enter my individual email accounts in the account settings for Mail, and only the icloud settings for my me account in the system preferences section?
I hope I'm making sense because I need help desperately.
Thanks in advance

To answer the OP's original question.
Both the System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars AND the Mail.app -> Accounts route both take you to the system preferences pane.
Just so you can confirm it, try both methods to get to the accounts list, and at the top left of the particular window you'll see 'Show All' which takes you back to System Prefs.
I think it's just apples way of getting everyone to the right place i.e. those who are use to using system prefs and those who are used to setting up accounts in their mail apps
That's good old apple and their user friendly interfaces for you

Attn - The correct way to connect to the repository

From iFS Product Management.
Many people appear to be having trouble connecting to the repository and are using the wrong API calls to do. The recommended API calls changed between beta and production. For the production release here is the correct way to connect:
1. Four pieces of information are need to connect to the repository
1. The iFS User Name
2. The iFS User's password
3. The properties file to be used
4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
This is different from the beta where the database password was hardcoded into the properties file.
Note that any TNSNAMES information is still containing in the databaseURL entry in the properties file.
package ifs.demo.samples;
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class ConnectionTester extends Object {
public static LibrarySession testConnection()
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("gking","ifs");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("IfsDefault");
connect.setServicePassword("manager");
return service.connect(me,connect);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = testConnection();
ifs.disconnect();
} catch (IfsException e) {
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
Note that in this example "gking" is the iFS user name, "ifs" is the gking user's ifs password. "manager" is the password of the database user who owns the iFS Schema.
"IfsDefault" is the server properties file that describes the ifs connection. This file is in called "IfsDefault.properties" and is located in the package oracle.ifs.server.properties". This means that the folder that contains the 'oracle' folder that is the root of this package must be referenced in the class path when running this example.
Note, if you use the older, 3 argument form of the connect you will get an unable to connect exception as the iFS will not have the Schema Password.
null

When I run the example below on Solaris (after setting the CLASSPATH etc., I get a oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Login Failure
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10170: Invalid name/credential.
(I am providing all 4 pieces of information for connecting)
When using the web interface the same userid and password work fine (system/manager).
Please help.....

Unable to set Static IP in Wicd

Wicd will get an IP just fine if I let it do DHCP. When I try and set my static IP it acts like its connecting and then just says not connected. The wicd .log has:
Putting interface down
Releasing DHCP leases...
Setting false IP...
Flushing the routing table...
Putting interface up...
Setting static IP : X.X.X.164
Setting default gateway : X.X.X.1
Connecting thread exiting.
Sending connection attempt result Success
X's to not show my IP. I entered the same information into the Properties tab that I would in windows or that I do in rc.conf and resolv.conf that lets me set a static ip without using wicd. There is 2 lines that I dont have that I have left blank and wondering it this is why its not working because I dont know what goes in them. DNS domain and Search domain(i have no idea what these 2 are looking for). I tried entering the server names for DNS 1 and 2 but that didnt work. I tried just ph.cox.net and cox.net in the DNS Domain field and that didnt work. So now im stumped and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time reading this and any help you can give.

Well that makes me feel better, I did leave them blank but it would not connect. I actually tried googles DNS in DNS 1 and 2 and received the same results as with my proper ISP's DNS.
I did not try Global DNS Servers way that you described, I was entering in the information in the properties tab. I will go ahead and try this method.
Im correct on my gateway, I run an ipcop box as my router and set everything in my house with static IP's so I have the DNS and gateway information correct.
Thank you for your suggestion, ill go try that and see if it works.
I am not sure if it matters but I am using wicd-gtk to set everything and not doing it through the terminal with just wicd or wicd curses.

Unable to set static IP to wireless printer Officejet 6600

First sorry my poor english, still keep trying We do have an HP Officjet 6600 Printer for about 6 months.This printer has USB and WLAN, but no LAN port. We used the printer until 2 weeks ago. At that time, **bleep** starts ...As long as we used the printer, he was connected via Automated WLAN (DHCP) and everything worked fine.The printer was connected to our WLAN Modem which assigned the DHCP IP Adress automatically.Then, our Internet provider updated our cable modem, which is also our WLAN router, and since that time, the printer does not work anymore. He always shows an error after booting, and told us to restart the printer, and all lamps of the printer are continously blinking. There is no way to access the printer menus on the printer.After a long and intensiv internet research, i found out that the cable modem is responsible for the printer error!It looks like the WLAN DHCP Server of the cable modem sends DHCP messages, which the printer cannot use correctly. If I shut down the modem (with the integrated WLAN router), the printer boots normal without an error, but I cannot use him becaused he is not connected to WLAN as because the modem is offline.So I wanted to set the printer to not use DHCP by assigning static IP to the printer. But this does not work! I tried 10 times or more to assign static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS-Server, no way, the printer always show "IP not set" (same for the others). Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to set static IP, Gateway etc. to the printer?!Thanks for every suggestion.

Hi , Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I understand you are having some difficulty modifying your network settings. Since you now have a new cable modem, let's start with a more basic approach. Please use the following document for instruction to reset the printer to your new network settings: Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless Network. You may notice, when you open the link, that the full title mentions the Photosmart B209a, the instructions presented apply to your printer to so please don't be alarmed. I hope this helps.

What is the correct way to destory a Thread?

Just wondering what is the correct way to destroy a thread? I am currently using the stop() method, but i noticed that it has been depreciated (along with other methods used to destroy a thread) when i looked at the thread documentation. Since this is so, then how can one correctly destroy a thread? Thanks in advance for the help.

There is an awful lot of bad advice in this thread about what null does. Please in future check on your own with working code before offering up misguided and very wrong advice. Particularly when your advice contradicts that previously given.
Please compile and run the following
public class Test implements Runnable{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Test test = new Test();
    Thread t= new Thread(test);
    t.start();
    // have delay wait a few seconds to demonstrate
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    System.out.println("Setting reference to thread to null");
    t = null; // what does this do?
    // jack all
    System.out.println("Exiting main");
public void run(){
    while(true){
      System.out.println("Hello from test thread!");
      try{ Thread.sleep(750); }catch(InterruptedException iDontCareAboutThis){}
}This will output the following
C:\>java Test
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Setting reference to thread to null
Exiting main
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!And continues on endlessly. Setting the reference to null is NOT an answer to this problem.

What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

In brief:
Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
Thanks.

Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
Here's some good reading as well

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Was afraid if we clicked 'answered' <per 'answer' below> we may never get an answer to a followup question to 'PrintDoc' at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=5277 .
Hopefully this re-post will help.
Question/s...
1. When trying to set 'static IP', and click on 'this' link ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... ) at your email < below> get...

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !

Best way to set up iPad mini for child?

So I bought my 3yr old an iPad Mini since he already knows how to fully operate most things on my iPhone! Now when I go to set it up, I don't want my music and apps and other content popping up on his iPad. Now can I create an Apple ID for him but set it up to where I can still have control over it? The guy in the store suggested I set it up using iCloud Family Sharing. When I got home and looked more into the family sharing option, I am not sure that is what I want either. That sounds like everybody in your family would have access to everything on the main device correct or am I wrong?
So this is what I want. I want to be the one who can purchase apps or download free apps by typing in his Apple ID info (if possible). I want him to have his own favorite songs via iTunes. The only thing I would want to share is probably a Family photo album in iCloud.
So what is the best way of setting this device up?
Before he mentioned the iCloud Family Sharing option, the guy in the store suggested I leave the iCloud info blank when it asked for it but set up the iPad Mini as if it was my device. I think that just confused me even more.
If I chose the Family Sharing option, can I select exactly what gets shared or no? If yes? Can apps be shared?
Lastly if I set him up with his own Apple ID, and he wants a new song or some music or download a movie etc. will he need his own iTunes Library?
Thanks for your help!

I think that, if you read through these forums and familiarize yourself with the number of problems allowing children the ability to exercise and maintain control of an iDevice, and to purchase and download content, you'll change your mind.
