Error creating a netboot image with System Image Utility

Hi all !
I am trying to create a NetBoot image from my Panther CD, to boot an old iBook.
I am using System Image Utility version 10.4.11.
I can create a NetInstall image, but when I create a NetBoot image SIU give me an error.
I looked in the logs and I can see the error is generated by the script Applications/Server/System Image Utility.app/Contents/Resources/.preinstall
This command is the culprit:
/usr/sbin/installer -verbose -lang 'eng' -pkg '/Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg' -target /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/PantBoot3.nbi/mnt -_multiDiscPath /tmp/siuInstallExtras
The error is (as seen in the logs):
This package requires authentication to install.
If I take the command and run it in the terminal using sudo it goes thru, but gives another error:
installer: Cannot install on volume /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/PantBoot3.nbi/mnt because it is disabled.
installer: Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume.
Is this thing supposed to work ?? It seems to me SIU is buggy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mike

I'm not digging the new SIU at all yet. Maybe I'll get used to it in time. I couldn't get it to accept a Tiger 10.4.6 Install disc the other day to build a NetInstall. Don't know if I was doing something wrong or if it was instinctively rejecting it because I was doing something unsupported.
I miss NetRestore. I think Mike wants use to use Automator... but I want NetRestore's automated Multicast ASR and Windows image restore. It would take a lot of work to match Mike's shrink-wrapped solution.
Speaking of NetRestore, its creator Mike Bombich advises against use CCC for mass deployment. This may include what you're doing. It's really a backup tool, but unfortunately a lot of people got into the habit of using it for creating deployment images and these often have problems. It's the best tool for create images that you will deploy onto multiple Macs.

Can I create a system image with System Image Utility and then transfer the image folder to another server?

I am currently in the process of creating several images to restore for classroom purposes. I am wondering if it is possible to use the System Image Utility on a computer which has Server Admin Tools installed, then transfer that image folder directly to the "NetBoot" folder on our current Apple Netboot Server. Has anyone tried this and/or succeeded? I'd like to get some feedback before attempting it myself on our college's netboot server. Thanks!

We've run into a few problems concerning this process. When we create the image on a seperate machine from the server using SIU and then place it in the NetBoot folder, not every .nbi folder created works properly. We're running into errors that say "Could not find any scan information. The source needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored". This does not happen with every image, but it does happen with computers which have a lot of programs installed on them. Is there a way to imagescan the .nbi folder and/or resolve this issue without going through the process of making a completely new NetRestore image?

Can I create a rotating image with sevaral images in Photoshop?

I was wondering if I can create a rotating image with sevaral images in Photoshop? Much like a gif? Would this improve my page load time or would it be the same as loading a slideshow? Here is an example of what we wanna do vacationsalabama

Yes you can create a gif in PS to do this but it would be much easier to accomplish with some simple JQuery Image slider.
Several examples here
and here
The benefit is they load faster, have speed options, and switching images out is a breeze. They can also have links asigned to the images as they appear.

Downloading Windows Update Packages for inclusion with System Image Manager

Is there a tool other than WSUS or SCCM that can download all Windows 8.1 updates for use with System Image Manager? I would like to deploy the updates along with the OS, custom drivers, and custom applications.

Hi Sean Liming ,
The main purpose is to download all the updates for specific system version image ,right ?
I haven`t heared about such an official released tool to do this .
As for the API ,I have found a tool based on this API developed by our MSDN guys to install the updates ,but I am afraid it doesn`t meet your need.

Creating 10.5. images in System Image Utility 10.6.2

Hi folks,
I need to create NetBoot images for 10.5.x and 10.6.x images. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and I have System Image Utility 10.6.2, which is able to create NetBook images ONLY of Mac OS 10.6. Why? How can I create older one? I tried to run System Image Utility 10.5.7 on SL but it ended with an linkage error on startup.
Is there any chance to create 10.5 NetBoot on SL?
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, this solution came to my mind, but is way too complicated for us. Why it is not possible to make it with 10.6.2 tool or run 10.5.7 tool on SL? Apple starts annoy me more and more (Dropped context menu, and much more stuff :-/)

Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

Hi everyone,
I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign component is enough "safe")
I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with 16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it in CC or CS6).
Thank you for your help and good ideas..
DC.

this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

How do I create a user using Windows system image manager?

My goal is to have a reference image that I can install on machines for several different companies. The image needs to have an identical user for all the computers that I will install to. Here is the unattend file. As it is, it creates an administrator
account, with the password I chose. But it does not give the profile the name I want to give it.

Creating a new document with separate images

Can someone help me create a new document that has two separate images. I can create a new document but don't know how to place two separate photos in the document. For instance create a document that is 8.5 x11 with two images each 8.5 x 5.5.

there is a number of ways to do this. also reading the manual to get a basic understanding of how Photoshop works will do wonders. Another method of learning is lynda.com
here is one way.
1 make a doc that is 8.5 x 11 at whatever resolution you need.
2 use a guide as a center point.
3 open the two pics you want to use.
4 make sure they are the same res as your 8.5 x 11
5 drag the layers from the open pics to the 8.5 x 11
6 crop and size the pics in the file so they fit in each half

Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

Color correct CMYK Image with RGB Image

1. anybody please tell me is it possible to perform color correction in CMYK image with RGB reference image
2. how to do that i mean what are the details i have to watch for?
ADVANCE THANKS

Your match using my color profile(similar to North American General Purpose) would be 29c 100m 83y 35k. Convert a sample swatch, using your color workflow/profile.
Some RGB colors won't convert well to cmyk (eg 0R 255B 0G). In that case your problem is not using a RGB reference image for CMYK color correction, but the cropped color gamut in the color conversion itself.
In those cases of saturated RGB colors you may have to do some handtoning to surrounding colors, to help create the illusion of RGB saturation to the troublesome color you are matching.

When rotating my custom .bmp image with Rotate Image Control.vi using the Rotate.llb, why is my rotated image coming up blank?

I downloaded the Rotate.llb and am trying to rotate a simple 24bit .bmp I made in Windows Paint, but the rotated image comes up blank.
I edited the default image control and indicator to have my image inside it and really don't know what else to do? The example works fine with the default image, I'm wondering if it has to do with my image properties?
I tried using "Picture to Pixmap" but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am attaching a screen shot of my results and the modified Rotate vi I am working on, thanks.
