Does this setup work for my network

Hello all, here is my setup. I have a 1T USB drive connected to my imac. I use this for the imac backups. I would like to share that drive on the network to backup both my macbook pros. Is that possible or do i need to physically connect each macbook to the drive to run the backup.

Yes, you should be able to do that, as long as the drive is large enough for all the backups (if not, connect another and back one of the Pros to it).

    Where do I include Exchange domain in Mail setup?

    Our company is running Exchange 2007, OWA enabled, EWS is setup, Auto discovery is enable. The only thing I haven't got an answer on is whether Service Pack 4 has been installed. The server is set up with a domain specified but I don't know where to include that in the Mail Account Setup. Mail seems to be locating the server fine but it says username or password can not be verified. I can only assume that it's because I haven't included the domain correctly.
    iPad (and I assume iPhone/iTouch) have a field in their setup to include the domain and a coworker is connecting fine with to the company server. Where is it in Mail? I have tried to prepend it to my username (domain/username) but it hasn't worked. I can't recall all the variations I have tried of this, but unless I have the domain first in the username field, Mail won't even connect to the server. I've been all over these boards and dozens more and I can't find any answers to this problem.
    Any here have any ideas? Thanks,

    Bump.
    I still haven't found an answer to this. Anyone else have any ideas. Still waiting to hear back from out IT guys about the service pack issues.
    Is there any way to attach a screen grab to a post? Thought it might help paint the picture in case I haven't stated it clearly.
    Again, thanks in advance for any help with this.

    Hi. I'm having precisely the same problem. My Exchange account works like a charm on my iPhone, but all permutations of the same settings simply don't work in OS X Mail (v. 4.3).
    Has anyone out there set up an Exchange account with a domain? Can you tell us where you put it to get the account to work?

    Enter your username as:
    <domain>\<username>
    This is standard practice for Microsoft if there's no place to enter the domain name.

    Thanks Asatoran. That turned out to be part of the solution for me. The other part was changing the port I used for the SSL connection -- it was set wrong at some point, either because the default was wrong, or because I forgot I had changed it in troubleshooting before trying the slash the way you suggest. Anyway, the port number for some reason doesn't show up on my iPhone settings, so it didn't occur to me to tweak it.2.0 GHz MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4GB RAM

    Could you please state the port numer you changed from and to?
    I´m having the same problem and still can´t access the exchange server outside the company network.
    But it seems like Mail 4.3 tryes to use the internal server and never the external? Any tips on this?MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

    Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:  
    mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop 
    This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop.  An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later).  Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer. 
    After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
    This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
    While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

  • Will this setup work for Color Calibration / Matrox / Enzio Monitor

    Hi, I'm getting conflicting answers from Matrox forum and DVinfo.
    I'm wondering if this setup will work for editing wedding films as well as doing color correction...
    I'm using FCP 7 / FCS 3. I have a DVI input as well as a DisplayPort input on my Mac Tower which is about year old.
    Monitor: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687611-REG/Eizo_CG223W_BK_ColorEdge_CG223W _22_Widescreen.html
    Converter/Capture Card: (This is where I'm confused.) I'd also like to keep it under $800 if possible and be compatible with FCP X
    http://www.sharbor.com/products/MTXN5010167.html
    Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    Or is there another card that I could use that is simple to install?
    Thanks for you help!

    >Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    No.  The Matrox MXO2 line connects one of three ways: PCIe slot in MacPro, Express34 for MacBook Pro, and Thunderbolt (additional cost for the adapter).  If you have a MacPro..you put the MXO2 adapter card into one of the PCIe slots, then connect that to the MXO2 box.

  • Problem: Why does this only work for powers of 2?

    I wrote this program to create a golf league schedule for, ideally, eight players. However I want it to be flexible enough to permit for other denominations, such as 10 or 12. When I run the program it works perfectly for any number that is a power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,etc...) but it will not work for other even numbers such as 6,10, or 12.

    Ah, I have discovered the problem. The reason for the infinite loop was because of the resetting of the counter/index after every successful match entry back to (a - 1). This was causing matches to be put into weeks where they didn't belong, which caused the program to infinitely loop because it couldn't find an appropriate week to place it's next match. The only time the count should be reset back to zero is when a new player A is being processed or the last valid array index has been referenced before an out of bounds exception would be thrown. I'm still not entirely sure why this doesn't occur on powers of 2 but theh again I haven't put too much thought into it having solved the initial problem! :)
    Anyways thanks for the input all who posted, much appreciated.
    Happy programming!!!!

    important. But then I'm not a Flash expert. One thing you
    might do is make
    sure the client RELOADS the page so they're not seeing the
    cached old page.
    Also, the needs to be clicked twice, once to activate it, the
    other to start
    it. Maybe they're not doing that?
    Just some thoughts.

  • Will this setup work for extending my network?

    I want to be able to control which piece of hardware I connect to. I have and airport extreme currently being extended by a airport express so we can get a signal in the far part of our backyard. The problem is when going through the airport express the bandwidth drops by 50%, and since I can't specify what to connect to I need another solution, so will the following work?
    1) airport extreme connects to Internet
    2) airport express connect wirelessly to airport extreme but doesn't allow wireless clients.
    3) airport express connects via Ethernet to another router which I setup as a different wireless network (different ip range etc)
    4) then in backyard we can use the second wireless network
    5) when inside we can connect directly to the airport express
    is this possible?
    Thanks

    Experiment a bit with the placement of the AirPort Express.
    It's natural that the signal strength (and speed) will fall off with distance from the wireless router, so the trick is to place the AirPort Express at a position where it will:
    1) Receive as strong a signal as possible (because it can only extend what it receives).
    2) Extend the signal strength to the area you want to cover
    If there were no obstructions between the main router and the area you want to extend to, the ideal position for the Express would be half way between them. That way, the Express gets as strong a signal as possible to extend the signal.
    Depending on your layout, the Express may need to be even closer to the main router....or, more than half the distance, maybe up to 2/3.
    If you power down the Express and take some measurements with the laptop, you will see how the wireless signal strength and speed fall off with distance. If you locate the Express too far away from the main router, it won't have enough signal to work with for best performance.
    It's all a series of compromises. You never gain something without giving up something else in return. It's possible that the 50% loss in bandwidth in the remote areas is the best that can be attained at your location. Extending using wireless only always brings some loss of performance.
    Finally, if you really want the "best" bandwidth performance from a wireless network, the only way to do it is connect the Express to the AirPort Extreme using ethernet. This preserves the bandwidth on the network much more effectively than any other method of extending.

  • Will this setup work for a wireless backup?

    I'm trying to determine what I need for what I want to do. I have a Macbook on an existing wireless network. I have an external drive that I connect to via hardwire. I'd like to use the external drive wirelessly with Time Machine. Can I connect the external drive to an Airport Express to make that happen?

    Can I connect the external drive to an Airport Express to make that happen?
    No. The AirPort Express (AX) does not support USB hard drives.

    It worked perfectly for me for a year until I replaced it with Apple TV.
    Having said that, I can't guarantee that it will work with every app.  Give it a shot and try it immediately.  If it doesn't work with the app(s) that are important to you, return it for a refund.
    By the way, I did find that the Apple TV does support every app that the cable did but no additional apps.  Although it does have other bennies, for this purpose it's an "electronic cable."

    iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
    You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.
