Do we still need a 3rd party firewall ?

Since AEBS comes with a build-in firewall, should we uninstall the 3rd party firewall ? And disable the firewall in OSX altogether ?
Thanks

I've found that the new firewall in OS X Leopard is sufficient enough to protect my Macbook Pro while traveling. I have it set to "Set access to specific services and applications". When connected to the wireless SOHO I've also found the AEBS to have a very secure network firewall to protect the WLAN. Even when connected to the AEBS I still leave my Macbook Pro firewall enable so as to not forget when traveling to turn it back on. I haven't noticed any significant drop in network performance leaving it enabled while still connected to the WLAN via the AEBS. To test your firewall use free firewall test sites such as http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/ Also if you want to encrypt your data then enable File Vault. For added security of your laptop data I'd suggest third party security tracking software such as LoJack or Undercover http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/
As for the IP address concern this is typical when visiting a website that the site you have specifically asked to visit will be able to see your IP address. You could try spoofing your address but it shouldn't be necessary and it may cause more problems when your surfing. Note: Just because the website you entered can see your IP address does not mean that your IP address is visible to a local hacker sniffing for open ports in your neighborhood. Both Leopard's firewall and the AEBS firewall allow you to set Stealth Mode so as to not broadcast your location and add an extra layer of protection making it more difficult for a hacker to crack your firewall.

AII needed at 3rd party end too?

hi everyone,
i was going through the documentation on AII and i came across this:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_autoid40/helpdata/en/index.htm
getting started--delivery processing
accord to the diagram...the outbound delivery is "unloaded" by AII at the receiver side
now if a company if sending goods labelled wit rfid tags to a third party company...then does dat third party need to have r/3 n AII installed too?? or d company hav to share their AII servers wit them???

hi,
if you customer wants EPC codes he doesn't need to use AII as you can send the ASN (with EPC codes) to
him so he will receive the electronic ASN
and if he also uses RFID (I assume that he does)
he can use the information from the ASN (EPC codes)
to create a inbound delivery in his 3rd party software
(if can be anything even own developed soft)
so you don't need AII on the other side anyway

michal

Help needed with 3rd party software and Windows XP on MacBook

My Brother embroidery software has stopped working on the XP side of my MacBook. After all kinds of uninstalling and installing with support from Brother, they decided the problem is not the software and I should "contact my computer company." Since this is really a Mac, would Apple be able to help me with a Windows issue? The genius bar said no, Microsoft says no, so what is the point of buying a using a dual platform machine if no one takes responsibility for helping? I'm very frustrated and could use help from someone who works on both platforms.

*"would Apple be able to help me with a Windows issue?"*
Sorry, but no. Apple does not support third party operating systems and applications.

Shipping Papers (BOL, Packing List) needed for 3rd Party Sales Order

The Process followed is as follows:
Plant "A" enters Sales Orders for a Customer.
Sales Orders generate the material requirement on Plant "A"
The material req gets turned into a Purchase order on External Vendor.
Vendor provides the shipment information and a goods receipt is done on Plant "A"
Once the goods receipt is entered, it closes the Sales Order and the customer invoice prints.
The goods receipt, however, does NOT produce inventory, it basically passes through directly to the Sales Order.
Now incase of a export order, need to find a way to configure so that Export Documentation can be trigeered in the form of an Output Type, in short a Delivery needs to be created.

Hi Kaustubh
The answer lies in how the sales order is closed and invoice is printed when the GR is done.
Please check if it is possible to update the invoice with the information you want to be printed on the Export doc and Packing slip.If this can be acheived then you print the information out of the invoice without using the delivery.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

3rd party plug-ins/DSP

My head hurts. Why does my head hurt? Because I've been banging it against a wall for the last few days trying to figure out whether I need 3rd party DSP or plug-ins. So, I'm new to LS. Just bought it on the 11th with my spiffy new Macbook Pro 15" C2D 2.4GHz. I bumped up the RAM to 4GB too. Overall, I have to say that LS looks pretty darn comprehensive. I'm an old skool engineer used to working on real H/W (Neve, SSL, Trident, etc....) I've been evaluating things like T.C. Electronics' Powercore, Universal Audio UAD-XPander, Focusrite Liquid Mix, Waves, etc.....So, my questions are as follows: A.)Do I even really need external/3rd Party DSP? B.)Although the UAD looks cool, doesn't look like it's got much horsepower. C.)I've heard fantastic things about the Waves plug-ins as well, but will they suck up a massive amount of CPU juice and leave me out in the cold when trying to mix? and lastly D.)Has anyone used Liquid Mix with LS? I heard the Firewire latency is less than pleasant.
Thanks,
-Laurence

I'll try to answer your questions:
1) Apple tries to make Logic the only program you'll need for recording, editing, and mixing. They attack all the big plug ins with some variation, that is pitch correction is added so you wouldn't have to buy Antares or Celemony. That being said often the plug in is all a company really does, and thus they do it better. But they are not inexpensive. My off the cuff advice would be to get to know Logic very well and only spend money on areas that you find it to be lacking for you, that is, don't rush out to buy an inexpensive convolution reverb and find out Apple had a great one all along. That's actually what made me get Logic- I couldn't find a good reverb at a price I could live with. (I'm poor as the dirt.)
2) Waves makes a great plug in, and if you can afford it, go crazy, you'll find you use them. However you can demo them, or at least the reverb. They are fully functional and stop working after a certain period.
2) UAD is something I have to say I don't know anything about first hand. I've heard mixed things but that's all you ever hear really. I want to know myself how much actual processing power they add, I've heard 1 GHz but then I've heard other numbers too. Do you know they only work with their own plug ins? So if you don't end up liking those, which seems unlikely but still, you're stuck. But another way Logic can use extra processing power is with a "node", that is, another Mac with ethernet capabilities. If you do some serious mastering with your laptop, and your plug ins are draining you, you can farm some of that out to another computer. The Mac mini is what I'm sort of considering for that should I ever end up graduating from school and making some god **** money. And later turning my G5 into a slave to whatever Apple blesses us with in the form of a G6.
I hope any of this was helpful and good luck!

Advice on 3rd party video converters

Hi-
AppleCare has just told me that I'll need a 3rd party software video converter to turn my JVC GZ-MG155 HDD camcorder's ".MOD" video files into ".MOV" files so that I can edit using iMovie HD. I have no clue what I'm looking at when it comes to third party software or video converters. Any advice on what the best ones are? Which one(s) will get the job done without problems? I'm not concerned if I have to pay a little bit - I'm most concerned with getting something reliable. Thanks heaps!

Google MPEGStreamclip and get the free download. That will convert your files.

3rd party software for new computer

My old computer is no longer available. I have a new computer that I need to download iTunes onto. The problem is that I need some 3rd party software to be able to sync the 2500 songs from my 80GB video ipod to the new computer. I don't really want to pay for this software. Any suggestions on free software that is reliable to download? Thanks.

Why to use 3rd party ftp client

why not using the one in iweb?

There are 3 reasons to use a 3rd party ftp client:
1 - if you intend to use the freeiWeb SEO Tool to add Google Analytics, image alternate titles or other metadata to the site's files. This requires publishing to a folder first and you'll need a 3rd party ftp client to upload from there.
2 - if you intend on using a web site optimizer like Web Site Maestro which also requires publishing to a folder first.
3 - if you experience problems using iWeb's built in client. Some users have reported problems with iWeb's client and switching to a 3rd party client like the free Cyberduck solved their problem. Just a matter of need.
If you don't need to add metadata or optimize your site and iWeb performs as it's intended then there's no reason to use a 3rd party client.

Do we still need 3rd Party aps for phone calls?

Currently have 2 Skype numbers subscriptions and have always used SkypeMate as my 3rd party ap for connections, which works perfectly. Yesterday, I forgot to open SkypeMate after initializing Skype, but all my Skype calls, including one from USA to NZ, still went through without SkypeMate. This morning, to test it again, I called from my mobile to my Skype number and lo and behold, all calls went through without turning SkypeMate on. Granted, I don't get a dialtone when calling without SkypeMate enabled, but once the number connects, the phone rings as usual and the calls connect flawlessly. So, the bottom line question is: do we need 3rd Party aps when using Skype as a regular telephone? Or has it always been this way and I just discovered it by accident?

It's always been like that. Without Skypemate the phone turns into simply a USB mic/speaker. You will be able to receive phone calls, and answer them manually on the computer you just won't be able to dial out using your phone's keypad. When older versions of Skypemate become incompatible the first thing to go is the keypad capability. Semi functioning versions of Skypemate can still give you the ability to answer phone calls by lifting the receiver or its equivalent. So if you don't require the ability to use the keypad on the phone to dial out then you can simply continue to use the device without Skypemate. I'd be surprised if answering the phone on the keypad actually worked, as I know that functionality does not work with my device without Skypemate and and older version of Skype (6.21).

I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer. I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk". Ok--now what? I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

I have a brand new iMac
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

Cookies turned off and cleared, but 3rd party cookies are still being shared after Firefox v16.0.1 update

after firefox updated from v15.0.1 to v16.0.1 on Friday (10/19/12), collusion v0.22 shows 3rd party cookies being shared, and a lot of them. I have firefox in "always use private browsing mode", with cookies not allowed, in addition there are no entries in "exception" or in "show cookies". The check boxes for cookies and 3rd party cookies are NOT checked.
This behavior never happened before the update!
I re-installed v15.0.1, but it is still happening.
Rana full sys scan with the latest Norton Security, which found nothing. Tried a few others too, so I'm semi-certain that my system is not infected.
System: Acer 5251-1245 with windows 7 (current patch levels up to date).
What changed with v16.0.1 update? Did Collusion change?
why are 3rd party cookies being shared, and how is it doing it?
Is there a way to check to see if other browsers have the same issues? e.g. chrome, explorer (yuck!), safari, etc....
I've really liked Firefox, but I am afraid to use it, especially to shop online or any financial stuff (banks, credit card payments, etc.).
Maybe I was better off in blissful ignorance before installing collusion earlier this year, but I only ever saw the 3rd party cookie sharing when I had "cookies" turned on without turning on "Accept third-party cookies".
Again, what changed?

only add-on extensions are "Collusion v0.22" and "Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon v0.4".
The issue never happened until Friday 10/19/12 after the Firefox v16.0.1 update, and was noticed by me on Saturday while using the Firefox to check my work schedule (which sets only its cookie and does not share, but it did and got me worried).
Still wondering if Collusion updated too, and now I'm seeing new behavior.
I do not want to share cookies, which is why I turn them off, and never turn on "share third party cookies".
Do I need to stop using Firefox? :(

Provide the access to 3rd party in internal network? Needs some Design suggestions?

Hi Folks,
I have to provide the access to 3rd party in the internal network to repair their server...
How can we provide them the access? Needs some input as design perspective and working solution?
Thanks,
Regards,
MS

Well I would argue that if you distrust the remote user so much that you should seriously reconsider letting them work on equipment on your network at all.. Actually in that case, "watching" them during a remote desktop sharing session is actually a more secure solution as you can validate the actions they are taken are limited to those necessary to perform the tasks at hand. When I have had to work on systems in environments that were required to be secure to meet regulatory requirements, I was required to provide a step-by-step list of activities before hand and my performance of only those activities and verification of the expected outcome was done by staff of the client I was supporting.
If you want a purely network-based solution then put a temporary access list on the server's default gateway for the period during which the remote maintenance is ongoing allowing it to communicate only to/from the remote access VPN gateway.
A more sustainable setup would be to host the server in a DMZ on a private VLAN with an access list (or default setting) on the DMZ interface of the firewall that prohibits the server from initiating communication to the inside network.

Iweb double-url is still showing even though I'm using a 3rd party host

A client of mine created and published a site in iweb.....she didn't even have hosting, so does iweb host files in the cloud? I deleted the site in her iweb app, changed the DNS, edited the domain file, updated to a 3rd party host, checked idisk, but im still getting the double-url (www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/index.html/) crap that iweb does....it's like iweb is overriding everything else no matter what I do....there was an index.html file that was re-directing to the double-url, which i also promptly deleted...still no change....for the life of me I can't get just a normal URL (www.mysite.com) without having the additional url that iweb adds....I have no idea how to get rid of this....even with a fresh host, it still shows up.....anyone have any ideas other than scrapping the URL and finding a new one? I've never used iweb, but I've been doing web design for 5 years and i've never seen anything like this.....on a wordpress install, the URL works with the additional crap added, but there is some trouble when trying to set a 'home' link...I get a cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi error....which is problematic....when trying to get back to the homepage.....

The iWeb Domain file is just a package where the website data is stored. Once the site is published, iWeb isn't in the picture...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
iWeb publishes a folder containing all the files for the website and an external index.html file. Unlike most websites, the index.html file is just a redirect to the Home page which is the one at the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar.
There's also a copy of the index.html file inside the folder. This arrangement is so that the site will work on Apple's - soon to be defunct - server MobileMe. Perhaps this is where you client published the site?
Its not quite clear how you are trying to conect the site to Wordpress. Can you explain?
If an iWeb site is published "as is", the URL for any page is...
http://www.domain-name/folder-name/page-name.html
... where "folder-name" is the name of the site in the iWeb app which can be seen at the very top of the left column above the first or Home page name.

Hi aadeshs
This problem is on my laptop running Vista ( Business) on Adobe 10.0 , for many years I did NOT have a problem with this . No forum Pages on this.
Also i would like to know how screen readers can better interact with PDF as my wife has difficultys on some email attachments on her laptop , again there seems no easy avenue for someone in her situation surfing websites and forums for Hours maybe ok ok for sighted people, but not if you are blind & use a screenreader.

SAP to 3rd party: EDI and XI: Needed advantages and disadvantages

HI All,
I have a requirement to sent PO data from SAP to 3rd party Vendors.(more than 30 vendors). Client insists on using EDI.!!
I have completed the config on SAP R/3 side and IDOCS are created in SAP R/3.
Since we have XI in the landscape, I have a few questions in my mind. Appreciate if you could give you feedback on these questions:
1. Should we send data directly from SAP to 3rd party using EDI adapter and avoid XI.
2. I assume EDI adapter will automatically convert IDOC to vendor format data and vice-versa.
3. All 30+ vendors will need to access this EDI adapter system or do they all need to have a separate one installed in there landscape.
4. If we use XI, will the adapter be able to communicate to XI. If yes what is the adapter name which connects to XI.
5. All vendors need this data in a slightly different format, so will the EDI adapter do the format conversion for every vendor ?
6. Since all vendors have a diff file format needed, I want to avoid doing extensive message mapping in XI. So can the EDI adapter handle it or is ther any easy way to do this mapping.
7. If mapping is not possible, then does it mean I will have to create a separate IDOC for each vendor in R/3 ( in vendor specific format) and send that to them.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shirin

Hi,
1) Should we send data directly from SAP to 3rd party using EDI adapter and avoid XI.
A) For EDI integration u need to have the EDi adapters and for that u need to purchase the seeburger license and which is need to be installed on XI and after that only u can use EDi adapter with Xi.
U can not ignore XI.
2. I assume EDI adapter will automatically convert IDOC to vendor format data and vice-versa.
A) Yes but only when u purchase the seeburger license. there are other ways as well either use conversion agent or module program which convert the XML to EDI format.
3. All 30+ vendors will need to access this EDI adapter system or do they all need to have a separate one installed in there landscape.
A) U have to use the EDI adapters with Xi and configure ur scenario in XI for all the vendors.
4. If we use XI, will the adapter be able to communicate to XI. If yes what is the adapter name which connects to XI.
A) Seeburger provide As2,X400,FTP,VAn adapters for EDi integration.
5. All vendors need this data in a slightly different format, so will the EDI adapter do the format conversion for every vendor ?
A) What EDI format ur vendor receivers the data it depends upon that.
6. Since all vendors have a diff file format needed, I want to avoid doing extensive message mapping in XI. So can the EDI adapter handle it or is ther any easy way to do this mapping.
A) Mapping is the part of desing and mapping changes accroding to the business requirement and mapping rule which is provided by Functional people.
7. If mapping is not possible, then does it mean I will have to create a separate IDOC for each vendor in R/3 ( in vendor specific format) and send that to them.
A) u need to do the mapping between IDOC and EDi then only the data will be mapped with the required target EDI strcuture.
