Does fusion drive work with network accounts

Hi,
We are planning to buy new desktop systems.
Since we work with big files, we love the idea about Fusion drive.
Now my only question. Does this help when you use Network drives.
Since the files are not stored on the system, but on the network, I think its better to have a server with fusion in it?
An other solution might be using a mobile account on the desktop servers.
Since (a copy of) all files is stored on the computer I think the speed will be approved if we use files wit fusion drive.
Hope somebody can give his opinion with should be the best solution.
Now working on the systems is very slow, and often a "turning ball" system is there, when we are accessing files.
Regards,
Flip

Hi Uptime Jeff,
I 100% agree with your comment.
I would love to stop using network drives. It is slow, and I have often problems if the network is having issues.
There is only 1 reason why we use network drives and that is because we work on iMacs in office, and use Macbooks abrought. Since we can use the same homedrive (especially the /library/ folder with settings, passwords etc) on iMac and Macbook we make use of network drives.
Is there an other way to do this, then we can stop the full network drive.

IWork and iCloud don't work with network account

I am trying to access files that I have saved on my icloud account but when I login with my network account, iWork apps just error when I choose iCloud and it shows me my document folder. If I login to a local account it works correctly. I go to open a document in an iWork document and choose iCloud it correctly shows the documents that I have in iCloud. Is this a server issue or is there something that I am doing wrong. I do have webdav running. could that be confusing it?

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions...
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Adobe Bridge permission issues when working with network account

We have some users using Adobe Bridge CS3, CS4 and CS5.
They are using Bridge to browse arround the file server.
I have ACL's so the users can have full access using the Finder, deleting, making folders etc.
Users are logged in to their AD account with their home folder synced to a Mac OS X server 10.6.4.
Unless they are Posix owner of a folder they can't make changes or nothing using Bridge.
If they log in to a local account on a Mac and then manually connect to a share on the same server all is fine with Bridge. They can make folders, delete files etc etc.
Any ideas?
I know Adobe made it easy for themselfs years ago by simply stating it is not supported to work on a server using any Adobe app.

As you said Adobe washed their hands of the matter and as any business customer is almost certainly going to use a server, and as Adobe products are so expensive pretty much only business customers can afford them, this is totally inexcusable.
I had a similar network login related problem with Acrobat Pro in version 7.0 which after +two years+ (no exaggeration) was eventually fixed in Acrobat Pro 8.1. Unfortunately it was then broken again in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Based on my experiences with Acrobat Pro and due to a totally different reason (nothing to to do with using Adobe SW) I found that when I switched from using AFP for network home directories to instead using NFS, my problems with Adobe software and network login accounts went away.
So, it might be worth your thinking about switching to using NFS for home directories as a workaround.
Adobe have become even worse than Microsoft for their software. They use a variety of sucky installers instead of Apple's free Installer (Microsoft have switched to using Apple's Installer), they use product activation, they are even worse than MS Office at working with servers. The only redeeming fact Adobe has is that their Mac and Windows products are mostly equivalent unlike Microsoft who still cripple their Mac software.

Does Time Machine work with Networked drives yet...?

Yes, I did search, and nothing recent came up.
I have a 500 GB lacie hard drive that is attached to my router, and it works great.
Without using any of those hacks, should Time Machine work properly with a networked drive?

No. At present on drives attached to a Time Capsule seem to work.
My AEBS has a 500GB USB drive attached - and Time Machine won't use it.
My Time Capsule has both the internal 1TB disk and a 1TB external Western Digital drive attached - and the Time Capsule drive and all of the partitions on the USB drive are available for use by Time Machine.
Time Capsule comes with a new version of the Airport Utility (5.3) - I don't see that this is available as a separate download right now.
Perhaps Airports will support Time Machine in the future - but that is by no means guaranteed. I don't think many people know what the hardware differences between an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule really are.

TM works with network drives?

Just to be sure - TM works with directly attached drives. But does it also work with network drives? I hope it does at least with Apples newest update.
Thanks
Andreas

There is plenty of documentation/discussion of a workaround that let's you make your computer recognize unsupported drives. Search for it using words like terminal network unsupported drive backup and you will find it. Some people say it works fine, and others caution against using it. I haven't seen a thorough discussion that really explains why Apple doesn't allow it, or why it's risky, or why it works, but that's typical of the boards that attract a techie crowd. Me? After spending $650 for a Terastation, I'm going to give it a try. Apple wants so badly for Windows users to switch to Mac, but they sometimes seem to make it very difficult and frustrating for us.

Automatic service setup with network accounts

Hi all,
I'm having terrible trouble getting automatic service (e.g. iCal, iChat, etc.) setup to work with network accounts, either with network home directories or local home directories, and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
When I log in as a local user and join the Network Account Server, all services get set up as expected, without problems. When I log in with a network account however, whether the account has a server-hosted home directory or a local home directory, services aren't automatically set up, I don't get the auto configuration wizard/dialogue, and attempting to join the network account server again fails. Surely there's a way for network accounts to have services automatically set up on initial login? Any ideas?

Does Boot Camp work with Fusion Drive

After having Boot Camp fail this morning while partitioning the drive, and now having to erase and restore my entire hard drive, 500GB worth of crap, I am wondering -- does Boot Camp work with the fusion drive? My new iMac has one of these things, and I am wondering if that is maybe the reason it did not work.
Thanks
Bob

A virtual machine is less risky because it doesn't modify your hard disk. However, it gives you less performance because it doesn't use all the hardware of your computer.
While that is true the actual performance available depends on how much resources you have, and how much is made available to Windows. (Win 7 in BC on my iMac gets a 5.9, in a VM it gets a 4.8) all the reduction is in the graphics performance. Disk performance in the VM is faster. I have 16GB or Ram, the VM gets 8 of that when it is running.
If games are to played a VM is useless.

I can't print to a kyocera c3232E with network accounting

I'm working with a Krocera KM-C3232E printer with network accounting. I added the printer using it's IP addr. It indicated the correct driver name, a valid unit and IP. After continuing an problem is indicated and asks if I still want to create a que. I check OK and the printer is added. When the print dialgue box comes up there is no place to input an acct ID, in fact there are nearly no choices at all. The job goes to que but never connects to the printer. Help.

assuming all the connections are good (wires or wifi), make sure that you have updated the printer software to include the printer model
Then install, ensure that the printer is in the list of printers in System Preferences.
Good luck!

Does Time Machine work with a NAS?

Does Time Machine work with a network attached storage drive?
Thanks!
John

the only supported NAS for TM backups is Time Capsule. it also works with drives connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station. al other NASes are unsupported. there are hacks to make TM work with them but you are on your own if you use them

Does apple tv work with both N wireless bands

Does apple tv work with both wireless "N" bands

Yes, I have both the 1G and 2G ATVs working off a 5 GHz n only network. Since the 2.4 GHz band can be set up to be backwards compatible with b/g networks it will work here too.
I use an Apple Time Capsule to create a dual band network. Running my ATVs and Airport Expresses on the 5 GHz band improved streaming and AirPlay speaker reliability substantially in my location. I suspected interference from my neighbor's networks as well as other 2.4 GHz sources. I had to create the 2.4 GHz network for my 1G touch and an older laptop to work which don't need as reliable of a network connection.
