Font management on a Mac Server for use via the network

Can font management be done on a Mac Server through Font Book so that other users can have one place where they can access our organized fonts via the network?

Ok found a sollution, i tried a couple of things, it boils down to this.
login as admin user
1. demote the network user to a local user,
 use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from LDAP
 import to Local directory, reset the password and delete the LDAP user.
2. you chould now be able to localy login to the account, do that.
3. open the terminal and run the following commands (probably need sudo for it and you need to change <username> to the user you want to change)
 chmod -R -N /Users/<username>/
 chown -R <username>:staff /Users/<username>
 chmod -R 700 /Users/<username>
4. check that every thing in you're account is working again as should.
5. promote local user to network user.
use workgroup manager for it use export in menu to export user from Local
 import to LDAP directory, reset the password and delete the Local user.
this did the trick for me, hope it helps.

How do I add a server that's running on another machine to one that my
workshop is running. When I invoke the New Server dialog and modify the
host from localhost to the one on which the server instance is running, then
everything is blanked out and I can't do anything. I can't find anything in
the documentation that tells me how to do this.

While deployment can be done manually, it is possible to run and debug a
server remotely.
For an example on how to do things remotely, see Chris Hogue's blog:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/blog/hogue/archive/2006/09/debugging_remot.html
Could you send me info on your environment? broth at bea dot com, and I
will try and get you some answers. This sounds like a requirement we need
to meet.

Hi Robert and welcome to Apple Discussions,
There are adapters available that convert micro cards into fullsize ones.
You will also need a USB card reader if you do not have one.
Good luck,

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc. But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

How to convert mp4 videos (HD) for use on the new ipad in imovie without a mac.

Hi,
Please help. I have many videos taken with my sony cybershot camera (Mpv4 (HD)). I have the new ipad and have downloaded imovie. I have converted the videos so they can be viewed on the ipad but imovie will not recognize them. I have a Pc (not a Mac) and have watched many youtube tutorials on how to convert my videos for use on the new ipad and imovie but so far no success.

If you are on the PC there are a LOT of video converters you can use. One of them is Freemake: http://www.freemake.com/
It's free, no ads or banners, clean interface, simple to use, and you can convert to various formats with ease.

ICS 2.x: Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar Server

Instructions for using Solstice/Legato Networker to back up iPlanet Calendar
Server

The following discussion expands upon the instructions for using the
Solstice/Legato client software to back up Calendar Server in the iPlanet
Calendar Server: Administration Guide. You can find this documentation at
the following URL: 

http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ics21/ag/calagadm.htm#1064539

If the Solstice/Legato Networker is installed under the default directory (as
per the recommended installation procedures), there should be three files
dedicated to Solstice/Legato Networker. 

<OL>
<LI>icsasm
<LI>legbackup.sh
<LI>legrestore.sh
</OL>

To initiate the Networker backup directory image, use the command 

csbackup -l

This command creates a directory named "
backup/" in the bin
directory and corresponds to Step 1
under the procedure for Backing Up Calendar Server Data in the
iPlanet Calendar Server Documentation.

After you have initiated the directory image, you can use the following commands
to back up or restore 1) a Calendar database, 2) a specific user's default
calendar, or 3) a specific calendar. The following commands assume that the Networker
client software is installed under the /usr/bin/nsr
directory and the iCS 2.x server is
installed under the /opt
directory.

1) Calendar Database
? To back up a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
? To restore a database: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
 

2) User's Default Calendar
? To back up a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid
? To restore a user's default calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid 

3) Specific Calendar
? To backup a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/save -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid
? To restore a specific calendar: 

/usr/bin/nsr/recover -a -f -s legato server host
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup/userid calid

You can also use the Networker graphical user interface to schedule backups.
For example, you could set up a client saveset to back up
/opt/SUNWicsrv/cal/bin/backup
periodically.

For more information regarding Solstice/Legato Networker software, please
see the Sun documentation at 

http://www.sun.com/storage/software/backup.html

csbackup/csrestore and the Solstice/Legato Networker functionality?," at

Server for NFS deletes the partially copied file after failover

Hello,
I found the strange behaviour in Server for NFS in the microsoft foc cluster.
I have a foc cluster of two nodes(windows server 2k12r2) and server for nfs role is installed on both. now I did mount the export from the client(windows server 2k12r2) where client for nfs role is installed;
and a large file copying from the clients local drive to the mounted export is started.
Now during this copying operation I did switch the export to second node(moved it using the failover cluster manager wizard). and what I found is the copying interrupts with
error message "there is problem accessing file path" and on retry the copying starts all over again, I mean if the 50% was copied previously then
after retry it will start from 0%.
I watched the system events on second node with the "procmon" and I found; after the disk gets attached to the second node, the delete operation is get called for this file.
Now what I need to know is why this delete is been called and who made this called. In the stack of the delete operation I could track the nfssvr.sys but not sure what attributes of that file made it to call the
delete.

Hi,
It takes us some time to create a failover cluster for testing.
We tried to copy a large folder which contains many files, and a large VHD file we created.
The result is the same - it will not restart the copy after failover. Thus as you said it is not caused by design and it should be an issue on your side which causes a Delete and redo the copy.
Is there any application or specific network settings could terminate a disconnected copy process? Currently I do not have much information about this.
Edit: I noticed that it is NFS share and in our test we are using SMB share. Will do the test again to see if any difference.

Why does my mac mini server keep dropping off the network?

I have Verizon FiOS and use its router/wireless to connect all macbooks, macbook pros, etc. connect to each other and the snow leopard server, which runs the printers and time machine for one of the laptops. I'm not using any other heavy duty server apps. I just want the mac mini to stay on the network and do its job. Invariably when I go down stairs to the mac mini and ethernet to the router to share screen, I find some update that needs to be installed, which apparently is why the mac mini has gone on strike. I usually can see the problem when I go to connect to server and see the other macbooks, but not the mac mini. Then after much coaxing, I'm able to get the server back on line for a few days, until the next software update. The server is set to auto restart, but why is it balking at rejoining the network?
mac mini is running snow leopard, as are three of the four macbooks. router is an actiontec model. wireless network is WPA2 and mac mini is ethernet connected to the router.

I've just experienced this problem when using a Marantz SR4001 receiver between my Mac Mini and HD TV. I noticed that the problem didn't happen all the time and I have found a workaround solution.
The problem is not a fault, but seems to be caused by the receiver defaulting the HDMI video properties. It's an old unit so I'm thinking that 720p is a default resolution for the receiver.
I can make the problem happen if the receiver is turned on before the TV. Seems that without an output connection the receiver is telling the mac that it expects 720p.
If I turn on the TV before the receiver, the TV seems to tell the receiver that it is expecting 1080p 25fps and the receiver obliges and the Mac retains those display properties.
So it appears that the video output device dictates the output properties back to the receiver and the receiver in turn back to the Mac. In absence of an output device the receiver defaults to 720p.
Solution: Turn on the TV before the receiver.

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Exactly the same problem with me.
Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

HT4059 I store drawings on IBooks for use in the field. Is there a maximum storage amount ? I have not been able to download additional drawings lately.

I store drawings in I books for use in the field, which comes in very handy. Lately I haven't been able to download anymore drawings or PDF's to IBooks. Is there a storage limit?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

Is there and optimum photo size and resolution for use on the ipad?

Is there an optimum photo size physical and resolution for use on the Ipad.

It depends on whether you want to zoom in the image. If you don't, pre-converting them to the native screen resolution of your iPad 2, 1024*768 (assuming 4:3 aspect ratio, as is the case with most Point and shoot (but not DSLR, which, generally, use 3:2!)) will make sureyou use the least storage and will always have the fastest file transfer.
If zooming is important and you have pictures over 16 Mpixels you want to fully zoom in, then, you'll need to use third-party apps like Photo Manager Pro (review: http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer ), which doesn't downsize your pics and doesn't use much more storage than it should.
Let me know if you have further questions.
