Does anyone have any experience of using an Aperture library on a Drobo or Promise Pegasus? If so any problems or tips?

My intention is to place my Aperture library a Thunderbolt Raid device and access via my Macbook Pro SSD Retina. The thinking is that I would have the capability of having a large library and wouldn't run out of space for some time - I understand that the library would also need to be backed up.
If anyone could share their experience positive or negative I'd be very grateful.

I have Aperture installed on a three month old Drobo 5D ( containing five WD 3 TB RED NAS hard drives) attached via Thunderbolt to my Macbook Pro with Retina Display, and Aperture is beautifully responsive with this setup. I do have a 60 GB mSATA card installed in the Drobo 5D, but I find it makes a real difference only when you are trying to acess a lot of small files, e.g. Aperture thumbnails. The Drobo 5D and Aperture make a good combination.
With a folder containning a mix of large and small size files, I find that it often looks like it is going to take a long time to copy the files with the Drobo 5D, and then after a short period of time the Drobo 5D really takes off and copies files at a very high rate of speed. In other words, don't form too hasty an opinion of how fast a group of files is going to be copied. Also, measured speeds with the Drobo 5D are not as impressive as you might expect, but the real-world performance is quite remarkable and fully in line with my expectations.

TS2948 Does anyone have recent experience of getting a macbook air hinge replacement foc

Does anyone have recent (2013) experience of getting a macbook air hinge repaired FOC ?

I just tried to get my original MBA hinge repaired, but the Genius guy in Amsterdam said they stopped the replacement 1 1/2 years ago :-(
Would have been appreciated if Apple could update the original note to indicate the extended warranty on the hinge is no longer in effect.

Any experience backing up an Aperture Library with Crashplan?

To be sure, I'm not using Crashplan for a primary backup. However, in the case of disaster, I'd like to move from my regional backup model to a backing up using a service. I realize that those of us who use a backup services with large libraries are on the fringe, but we all want to keep our libraries, don't we?
The Crashplan forum has few old articles allude to the fact that backing up an Aperture 2 library using Crashplan is not advisable.
The Aperture 3 library format has changed quite a bit.
What have your experiences been using Crashplan and Aperture 3? Have you attempted a restore after significant modification to your Aperture library, such as adjustments, moving projects, adding/deleting images, faces, places, etc.?

I just conducted a test with Aperture 3 and Crashplan. The results were unexpected. Here's how I performed the test, and what I learned:
I created a project, imported files, made some adjustments, and ran a Crashplan backup. Once the backup completed, I opened Aperture, moved projects, made additional edits, including brushes, changed metadata, altered faces, places, and tags. I emptied the trash, then rejected and deleted more files, and changed ratings.
I did the above three times, running Crashplan along the way, even with Aperture open. I restored my library, then compared the original and restored Aperture libraries.
The number of images, faces, places, metadata, adjustments, ratings, trash, and rejected items all matched. I did find two notable discrepancies. The source library when I began the restore had gone from 4.7 GB to 2.49 GB, primarily because I had deleted several movies. The restored library in CrashPlan and on my disk (once restored), was 4.63 GB. When I opened the restored library, it regenerated thumbnails and/or previews. The file resulted in 4.69 GB when complete.
What was taking up the additional 2GB? The movie files were still under the masters folder. They did NOT appear in the rejected items, trash, or any other project. They were, however, in the masters folder. I tried rebuilding the Aperture database, and importing it into a new project. I could not reduce the size of the library because the deleted files remained.
So . . . Crashplan appears to be holding on to these deleted files. The good news is, the database appears to be just fine otherwise. Any ideas on how to repair an Aperture 3 database to remove the files and shrink the library as necessary, if a restore is required?

Does anyone have a solution for using my SIP phone with my MacBook Air

I specifically purchased a MacAir for my home office. Small, Sleek, and portable. I just purchased a Cisco SIP phone and realized that I may have to continue to use my MacBook at my desk. Any work around? Is there some kind of hub or converter I can use? Thanks.

Search the web or help doco about the Captivate feature called Return to Quiz. It will do what you are looking for here according to your description. There's even a Youtube video from a year or two back that shows how it works.

Does anyone have a wallet case that can also act like a kickstand? Supports amazon prime? Any recommendations?

If anyone has a good case let me know! Thanks for your recommendation!

I don't know the brand, but I have a hard case that I got from a kiosk that has a kickstand on the back. It was cheap, but has protected the phone so far. Sorry I don't have a brand, but just check the mall kiosks. The one I have has a had case that snaps together around the phone, and a soft case that fits around that. There's a cut out in the plastic case for the hard case kickstand to go through. I use it every night, and it works perfect. I wanted an Otterbox, but no one seemed to have them. Hope this helps.

HT5260 If aperture is uninstalled does iphoto have access to what was the aperture library

If Aperture is uninstalled will that library automatically be part of iphoto

Assuming you have the latest versions of both apps, yes. Otherwise, no.

Flickr uploading is a horrible experience. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it better?

I am using iPhoto and I amd trying to upload several undred pictures to Flickr at a time.
The native iPhoto exporter hangs and crashes.
The Flickr Exporter plugin by ConnectiveFlow does the same.
The web based importer will also do the same and it can only do 200 pictures at a time.
I am considering Apeture, but does anyone have better experience with Apeture's native uploader?
Thanks

I don't believe there's a solution to that. I don't believe there's a way to upload hundreds at one go. But you could contact Flickr support and see what they suggest.

I am having trouble using reverb of any kind; it does not sound natural, but rather "pixilated." Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? I have used Silververb and Space Designer and am having the same problem...

I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!

This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

Does anyone have experience using Oracle Large Objects (LOB's) -
specifically the CLOB datatype? Forte supports Oracle LONG's but given that
Oracle is going to phase out that datatype and they're trying to push users
towards CLOB's instead of LONG's, I want to find out if Forte can handle it
and, if so, what we should know about mapping Forte datatypes to the Oracle
CLOB. [Their compatibility matrix for v3.5 indicates suppport under Oracle
8.1.x, and CLOB's were introduced back in 8.0.x - but the word from Forte is
that they currently don't support it.]
thanks in advance.

Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders. I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past. I'm looking for High Definition. I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible. I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE. I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia? And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes. I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE. FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
