Has anyone used TC's AirPort Utility to config AEBS (802.11n) ?

I'm curious to know if anyone has used the AirPort Utility tant comes bundled with TC to configure an AEBS 802.11n (GbE).
If they have, can they say if Time Machine sees a USB2 AirDisk attached to the AEBS 802.11n (GbE) ?
Thanks....

Has anyone used the the Airport Express with their Direct TV unit?

I have a DirectTV HD DVR (HR20) receiver that allows OnDemand, however, I need an internet connection. The problem is my router is in a completely different area of the house. Has anyone tried to connect wirelessly?

Oops...maybe I should mention; I am using the usb because there is no audio input on the mac. Also, I am using a Lexicon Alpha usb interface. I am miking with an Audio Technica 2020.

Airport Utility cannot find all 802.11n gigabit sase stations

hello everyone,
airport utility (5.2.1, "Airport-Dienstprogramm" in german does not seem to find all my base stations (6 stations alltogether, IPs assigned ok via DHCP, pingable, usable, green light, no errors, manageable by Airport Utility via manual IP entry) in the list to the left of the main screen. Mostly they are not shown at all, sometimes (or after I manually managed one) they are in the list until Airport Utility is restarted.
SNMP is on, I tried a new cummunity string but reverted back to "public" just to make sure.
Is there a way to manually fill the list and then "save" that list somehow so that I can do a quick check on the status?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Christian.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

Has anyone used an Airport Express to connect to a Yamaha Disklavier Piano?

Does anyone own a Yamaha Disklavier piano and have it connected to the internet using an airport express?

Just plugged my Airport Express into a power strip and ran the Ethernet cable to the back of the Yamaha E3 Disclavelier's Ethernet port. Used Apple's Airport Utility to verify it shows up on my network. You can then download the Yamaha Disklavelier App from the App Store and now my iPhone controls the piano. Super easy and way cool!

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband. How do I set it up?

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

Short answer: I don't recommend it, but it's not "a scam" or malware, per se. If you use it, you may have some real performance issues.
Me: I was an actual MacKeeper user (paid version) for about two years. What follows is my experience and conclusions. I am not a paid reviewer, nor tech professional. I am an educator with about 15 years of experience using Macs. I am what most people would call a "prosumer," in that I know a good deal about my systerm, but am not a techie, anti-utility software zealot, etc. I have no affiliation with Zeobit (manufacturer of MacKeeper) nor any of its competitors.
I bought MacKeeper in 2011, and then upgraded last year. I used it to remove junk files and duplicates, and experimented with the anti-virus software. I didn't use most of the other features.
The problem: I am running a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB HDD. Over the past year, it has been having major performance issues. Slowdowns, hangups, applications quitting and more were all becoming the norm. I deleted duplicate files and ran MacKeeper a few times a month. I also ran permissions repairs regularly (disk utility). I looked for the cause of the slowdowns everywhere, from too many user accounts being open, to resource hogs. I decided that MacKeeper's Anti-Virus software was just taking up too much RAM and CPU, so I disabled it. I continued experiencing slowdowns and started monitoring my available RAM with a freeware app called Memory Clean. It often reported that I had less than 500MB available, even with very light usage, application wise. After "cleaning" memory, I could get my available RAM to about 1.5GB, max. I struggled with these issues for a year or more, and was about ready to concede defeat and buy a new machine. I figured my MBP was over four years old, and perhaps running Mountain Lion and normal wear/tear were just too much.
This morning, I noticed that the biggest resource hog on my system was a process called "MacKeeper Helper." The process relaunches even when it is forced to quit. It was consuming over 100MB of RAM and up to 99 percent of my CPU at times! I also noticed a process called "anti-virus" that also could not be quit, and was consuming over 100MB of RAM itself. I started researching how to kill these processes, and was introduced the the Great Online MacKeeper Controversy. Here is what I learned:
Some in the Mac community have pure hatred for this product (and some hate all like it).
There were numerous user reports of it slowing down systems
Zeobit seemed to be guilty of questionable ethics, particularly in its advertising.
There was no way to stop MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus processes from running with deleting the entire application.
I wasn't the only one annoyed by MacKeeper's system pop-ups, trying to sell me something I already bought.
The software got good professional reviews, even from well-respected publications (e.g. MacWorld)
It is often confused with Mac Defender, which WAS malware. They two are not associated.
The Decision: After researching ways of fully uninstalling MacKeeper (and considering whether or not I should), I decided to try the uninstall instructions from the manufacturer. It said that it would remove ALL traces of the application. I also didn't want to get into too much Terminal work and manually deleting things, as some users suggested doing. I followed the process (close app, drag to trash, enter password, click "uninstall"). I then ran a permissions repair and restarted.
The Results: I have been MacKeeper-free for about an hour as I write this. Put simply, my problems appear to be completely solved. MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus are gone. Available RAM is now up to 2.75GB. I have experienced no slowdowns or app crashes. Even bootup appeared to be considerably faster. Launching iPhoto with thousands of images now takes a few seconds instead of minutes. Everything feels faster. It's like I have my Mac back! I was ready to admit defeat and dish out another $2500+ that I didn't have. I now think that won't be necessary!
What Should Yo Do? You'll find a lot of controversy out there between professional reviews, ethically dubious paid reviews, Zeobit's own defense through public statements, and Mac users themselves. Some users like it, and swear up and down they are real people. Others are extremely angry and hate the product with the passion of 1,000 burning suns. All I can do is tell you my experience and make the following statement:
The bottom line is that I would not install MacKeeper/buy MacKeeper on my Mac. After investigating my own system's problems (which made iit nearly unusable) and concluding that MacKeeper might be the issue, I uninstalled it. Magically, all my issues went away. So...I report, you decide. Best of luck.

Has anyone used JAAS with WebLogic?

Has anyone used JAAS with Weblogic? I was looking at their example, and I have a bunch of questions about it. Here goes:
Basically the problem is this: the plug-in LoginModule model of JAAS used in WebLogic (with EJB Servers) seems to allow clients to falsely authenticate.
Let me give you a little background on what brought me to this. You can find the WebLogic JAAS example (to which I refer below) in the pdf: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/pdf/security.pdf . (I believe you want pages 64-74) WebLogic, I believe goes about this all wrong. They allow the client to use their own LoginModules, as well as CallBackHandlers. This is dangerous, as it allows them to get a reference (in the module) to the LoginContext's Subject and authenticate themselves (i.e. associate a Principal with the subject). As we know from JAAS, the way AccessController checks permissions is by looking at the Principal in the Subject and seeing if that Principal is granted the permission in the "policy" file (or by checking with the Policy class). What it does NOT do, is see if that Subject
has the right to hold that Principal. Rather, it assumes the Subject is authenticated.
So a user who is allowed to use their own Module (as WebLogic's example shows) could do something like:
//THEIR LOGIN MODULE (SOME CODE CUT-OUT FOR BREVITY)
public class BasicModule implements LoginModule
private NameCallback strName;
private PasswordCallback strPass;
private CallbackHandler myCB;
private Subject subj;
         //INITIALIZE THIS MODULE
           public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)
                  try
                       //SET SUBJECT
                         subj = subject; //NOTE: THIS GIVES YOU REFERENCE
TO LOGIN CONTEXT'S SUBJECT
                                                 // AND ALLOWS YOU TO PASS
IT BACK TO THE LOGIN CONTEXT
                       //SET CALLBACKHANDLERS
                         strName = new NameCallback("Your Name: ");
                         strPass = new PasswordCallback("Password:", false);
                         Callback[] cb = { strName, strPass };
                       //HANDLE THE CALLBACKS
                         callbackHandler.handle(cb);
                  } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }
     //LOG THE USER IN
       public boolean login() throws LoginException
          //TEST TO SEE IF SUBJECT HOLDS ANYTHING YET
          System.out.println( "PRIOR TO AUTHENTICATION, SUBJECT HOLDS: " +
subj.getPrincipals().size() + " Principals");
          //SUBJECT AUTHENTICATED - BECAUSE SUBJECT NOW HOLDS THE PRINCIPAL
           MyPrincipal m = new MyPrincipal("Admin");
           subj.getPrincipals().add(m);
           return true;
         public boolean commit() throws LoginException
               return true;
    }(Sorry for all that code)
I tested the above code, and it fully associates the Subject (and its principal) with the LoginContext. So my question is, where in the process (and code) can we put the LoginContext and Modules so that a client cannot
do this? With the above example, there is no Security. (a call to: myLoginContext.getSubject().doAs(...) will work)
I think the key here is to understand JAAS's plug-in security model to mean:
(Below are my words)
The point of JAAS is to allow an application to use different ways of authenticating without changing the application's code, but NOT to allow the user to authenticate however they want.
In WebLogic's example, they unfortunately seem to have used the latter understanding, i.e. "allow the user to authenticate however they want."
That, as I think I've shown, is not security. So how do we solve this? We need to put JAAS on the server side (with no direct JAAS client-side), and that includes the LoginModules as well as LoginContext. So for an EJB Server this means that the same internal permission
checking code can be used regardless of whether a client connects through
RMI/RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE (etc). It does NOT mean that the client gets to choose
how they authenticate (except by choosing YOUR set ways).
Before we even deal with a serialized subject, we need to see how JAAS can
even be used on the back-end of an RMI (RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE) application.
I think what needs to be done, is the client needs to have the stubs for our
LoginModule, LoginContext, CallBackHandler, CallBacks. Then they can put
their info into those, and everything is handled server-side. So they may
not even need to send a Subject across anyways (but they may want to as
well).
Please let me know if anyone sees this problem too, or if I am just completely
off track with this one. I think figuring out how to do JAAS as though
everything were local, and then putting RMI (or whatever) on top is the
first thing to tackle.

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

Hi Don
I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
Hope this helps

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module (Bitswise Systems) to interface to a USB Camera via IMAQ for USB?

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module made by Bitwise Systems with LabVIEW for image acquisition. I have a USB camera and I'm trying to use the IMAQ for USB controls to no avail. Any input is appreciated.

Are you using the NI-IMAQ for USB functions or are you calling the QuickUSB libraries from LabVIEW? Unless the USB camera is DirectShow compliant, then it will not work with the NI-IMAQ for USB driver. You can use the Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to call external dll's, and it looks like from QuickUSB's website that is the best way to go. Hope this helps.

Has anyone used Thunderbolt or USB 3.0?

In the not too distant future I am intending to upgrade from my 2008 24" 2.8GHz iMac.
The new models appear to have gone down the Thunderbolt route which appears to be not very popular with HDs being few and far between and very expensive.
USB 3.0 whilst theoretically only half the speed seems to be taking off and reasonably cheap, and appears to be more universally adopted.
Could Apple have backed the wrong horse on this occasion?
Sorry, I was just thinking aloud, definitely not speculating.
So has anyone used Thunderbolt and got anything good or bad to say about it?

Not personally:
The german computer-magazine c't tested the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt and found it speedwise way ahead of USB 3.0 and eSATA.
As a RAID-Level 0 with 6 x Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 (7.200 U/min, 1TB each) and MBP 13" 2011 OSX 10.6.8:

I used it several years ago to merge libraries without problem. I cannot speak to the current version. It goes without saying that you need to have a very good backup before you use that sort of software (if you do).

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.

I just saw a message that iWeb has been discontinued by Apple. It suggested EverWeb. Has anyone used this or do you have aother recommendation?

I just saw a message that iWeb has been discontinued by Apple. It suggested changing to EverWeb. Has anyone used this or do you have another recommendation?

Hi
I have now used Everweb to transfer a website from iWeb & am now working on transferring a second website.
I cannot recommend Everweb highly enough. I am an amateur, so iWeb was the easy option for me. Everweb is just as easy to use and very similar to iWeb. New features are being added every few days.
I am extremely impressed by the excellent and prompt service from both the forum and support. All my questions have been answered (& there have been many of them!)
Everweb is complimented by an excellent site Everweb codebox which has developed more widgets and codes to add to Everweb. Roddy from Everweb codebox has been invaluable by answering questions on the forum & generally complimenting the Everweb team.
I have purchased the Everweb program & Hosting. This gives my 1 click updating and works seamlessly. The price is competitive and the support exemplary.
All in all, I am delighted with Everweb, excellent program & excellent support!! I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.
In answer to your question...buy it!!!!
