The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you click the book icon on the left end of the bookmarks bar you can manage all of your bookmarks. Bookmarks can be added individually to the bar (the shorter the name the more room for bookmarks) or you can create folders of bookmarks that can be accessed from the bookmarks bar.

Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

What is the best way to port a entire website?

I need to elevate my test site to the production site... Can anyone tell me if there is an "easy way to just copy the site from one remote ftp to another ftp w/ dreamweaver?
This would include any subdirectories, jquery, images, PHP, etc... at one time. Can I just select the root and have it copy everything underneath over?
What is the best practice for transferring the new site? Bring down the old site and erase from the production server? If I leave the old site live like the client wants I could run into conflicts and then need to go back and delete any remnants of the old site (Which would be a major hassle).
Thanks!

If you have root access (dedicated,VPS, etc) or some way to host multiple sites on the same server I'd upload the new site right along side the old site and then point the domain to the new folder/account. If you don't have that access, first thing I would do is setup a catch-all redirect to push everything at first to a construction page, and then afterwards to the new homepage in case paths have changed with the new site. Something like the following in htaccess will do the trick:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteRule .* /index.php
And I will second what Ken said about a 3rd party FTP client. Personally I use Transmit as an alternative FTP client and would highly recommend them for a stand-alone client.

What is the best way to PDF an entire website

I have Adobe Acrobat XI. I tried to create a PDF of an entire website, but after spending almost a day, the program crashed at around 14,000 pages. There were also some pages that it seemed to capture more than once. However, the file is corrupt, so I can't open it.
I am trying to PDF an entire blog. I could use another program, such as HTTRACK or programs like it, however, I want the pages PDFed.
Is there any way that in running the PDF entire website feature that it splits each separate page into a separate PDF? This way I could end up with a folder of each page all separately PDFed and should anything crash, I don't lose everything.
Another option?
I am using a Mac OS X 10.9.4, Intel Core i7, with 16 DDR3 ram, with plenty of hard drive space.

Thanks. However, I did restrict to the same path. As to the number of levels down, wouldn't I want the maximum as I want the entire blog. Blogs have this "older stories" link at the end of the page which leads to the older stories. I want to get all articles on the site.
If I can't use the entire site feature, not automatically have each URL as a different PDF, is there another solution? Rather than doing it by hand?

What's the best way to pack a small website for the iPad?

I have my little personal archive in HTML and images and a few audio & video clips. Let's say it is 10GB. I want to pack it into an App for offline viewing. Any suggestions? I'm will to do a lot of glue translation hacking to make something good.
Or is there and glue format that can reference iPhoto images from a different app?
Thanx for any input! -jch

If you're planning on doing some programming as part of that packing, then I'd head over to the developer forums with this question. (If you're creating an app for iOS, then you have that access.) Another option is one of the iOS-related mailing lists (maybe Cocoa-Dev). And yes, APIs for accessing photos are available.
A somewhat left-field option is the iBook Author tool.
Or are you looking for an app that does this?

The best way pass a goemetry to a procedure

I need to pass a geometry to a stored procedure. I first thought of using the mdo.sys_geometry types but the java client cannot pass in this type of object. I then thought of using pl/sql tables to send in the sdo_element_info array and the sdo_ordinate_array info. I had a concern that the shape I passed in would surpass the sql buffer for the pl/sql ( if there is a buffer length as there is in sqlplus ). I also thought of using a long datatype to pass in an infinite string that I can parse and and create the goemetry in the stored procedure. Anybody have any thoughts as to the best way to pass a geometry into a procedure?

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

HT1751 What is the best way to move my iTunes library from an external PC drive to a Mac external drive?

I just make the move to Mac computers. My iTunes library is currently on a PC formatted external drive. I would like to move it to an external drive that i have formatted for Mac. What is the best way to do this?

Is the entire library on the external drive or just the media folder? If it is the latter, and you still have access to the PC then see make a split library portable.
If the drive is in FAT32 format you can connect a portable library directly to the Mac, holding down Option as you start iTunes. Otherwise you either need to copy it to a local drive (Mac should be able to read NTFS) or install a full service NTFS driver so that the library can be read and updated.

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.
Regards.

What is the best way to consolidate data on two Macs?

Hi All,
About to embark on a small project to move all my data on to my MacBook before finally saying goodbye to my trusty iMac. In order to do this I'll be upgrading the HDD on the MacBook to a large one and using Time Machine to restore all the original data onto the new drive. This bit I'm good with as I did it before when I upgraded the drive on my old iMac.
The main problem I have is that the majority of my photos, music, videos and documents are on my old iMac and I'd like to discuss the best way to merge these with a smaller amount of data that the MacBook has on it. Both machines are running Snow Leopard and I'm not aware of any tools that are currently available to do something like this although I am aware that Lion is supposed to have features that would consolidate everything to the cloud and might make things quite easy. This is something I would be willing to spend the £30 or so doing so if anyone has any experience of using Lion to merge everything across Macs to the cloud please let me know if you feel this would be a suitable approach.
Just to summarise the state my data is in currently and the approach I currently intend to take.
Have the Mobile Me service so Mail, Address Book, Calendars and all that stuff are all synced across both machines anyway.
Applications - Some stuff on the old Mac that I no longer user but nothing here that I really want to migrate. Some specific application stuff is mentioned below.
Movies - This is the bit that I'm most concerned about. Have a lot of legacy iMovie stuff on the old iMac which I'd like to keep. iDVD as well. Not sure of the best way to get this across and maybe it even warrants a separate discussion. Aside from that most of my older video stuff and projects are on the iMac with the newer stuff on the MacBook. I'm unaware of any function to export and import this but I have a large HDD which I can use to copy stuff over and am going to look into this a bit further. There will be a small amount of duplication here but this is manageable.
Documents - Will just copy these across and organise them as and when I need them. Again, a small amount of duplication but this is manageable.
Music - Pretty much all my stuff the old iMac. Can just export this and copy it onto the MacBook.
Pictures - Bit complicated this. Most of my stuff on the old iMac but some newer albums on the new MacBook. No duplication so presuming I can just export the library off the old iMac and import it on to the new MacBook.
No websites or anything like that.
iPhone currently syncs with iMac but once I have all the stuff over it should not be too hard to change this.
Just my user account on each machine that I really want to keep. Shared documents and other users accounts all contain temporary stuff that I'm happy to lose or archive.
Given this is anyone able to offer advice as to 1) Whether this is the best approach? 2) Have I considered everything? 3) Are there any tools that might help me?
Many thanks,
Tom

OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
Applications - just went through them. About the only one I needed was my media server app. Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine. Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too.
Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders. Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly. Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here.
Documents - Just copied these across.
Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager. You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries. Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore. Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc.
Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter.

I'm hoonesstly not sure about the second mobile me account. My guess would be that you will need another one though. The only way to see her calendar is to log into her user account. Not a problem if you have her password.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

What is the best way to set up my new Mac Pro?

Not wanting to screw up in a process I've not done with a brand new machine before, I'm looking for feedback on my plan for setting my new Mac Pro next week...
The physical plan is this:
For RAM, I have four 2GB SDRAM's plus the supplied six 1GB modules. My plan here is to install the 2GB rams into the first four slots and install four of the 1GB modules into the remaining four slots for a total of 12GB's.
When the cost for 4GB modules gets down to reasonable, I'll buy four of them and bump the current rams down the line which will then give me a total of 24 gigs where I'll stay.
For my hard drives, I'm installing a 160GB Intel X25-M into the first drive bay
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/index.htm
using one of MaxUpgrades' 'MaxConnects' kits. I will use this drive for the operating system software and my applications and their libraries.
Next, into the remaining three drive bays, I am installing three 300GB WD Velociraptors. Mine are the pre-'backplane ready' versions:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
so I have bought these sleds for them...

I own one of Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P cards
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposatae4p.html
which, thanks to this forum, I now understand, with the correct firmware installed, function well so I will install it and be able to establish hardware RAID. I will create a RAID 0 set with the three Velociraptors and use it to store all of my data files.
Backup will happen on a 1TB WD 'Caviar Black' external drive connected through one of the Sonnet card's external eSATA ports and using the OS 'Time Machine' software.
And that's the physical plan. My question is about setting things up. The physical installation part is straight forward and I don't expect any difficulties but I'm wondering what is the best way to install the operating system.
Do I take a first step keeping the supplied hard drive installed, install the solid state drive into the next drive bay and then transfer the contents from the supplied drive onto the SSD or do I do the complete physical installation process and do a 'C' drive start up and install the OS that way?
And, do you have any tips/suggestions on setting up the RAID 0 set?
thanks for the help. I want to do this right.
JQ

oh mighty Hatter, I knew you'd have helpful guidance to offer! And thank you. You've confirmed my anxieties about the Sonnet card; kind of a 'too much, too quickly' sort of thing. And it's not that Sonnet's not a good company. Just everything to do with new technologies and the growth curve we all, manufacturers and users, go through when they come out. And, for sure, the new Mac Pro's are new technology; the single biggest forward leap in Apple's top-of-the-line machines for some time far as I can tell. Just reading at Intel's website about the Nehalem's is a joy!
So, I will proceed now with everything except for the controller card, leaving that 'til later. In the meantime, I think I'll just happily run with the four hard drives all running independently. No software RAID. I know just those, the SSD boot drive plus Velociraptor trio's going inside of a 2.66ghz 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro is going to be a working pleasure. Heck, this way, I'll get settled in and used to the machine's speed, have a great time doing so and then, in however many months, I can jump into spending another chunk of money on an excellent RAID card, RAID card's dear Barefeats will have tested and reviewed for us, set up my RAID 0 set and head of to those new races watching my computer leap for joy! Could be that, by then, the cost of Intel 160GB X25-M's will have dropped enough that I can afford to go for a second and have a two SSD RAID 0 boot drive... Yummy!
Thanks for the help. Like I say, I knew there was useful guidance hanging on some limb within your personal kit, (otherwise referred to as your mind)!
Interesting to read about the problems people have had with Sonnet's 2.17 update in PPC's... In this computer, my PowerMac G5 dual 2.7ghz, I have a Sonnet 'Tempo Sata X4P' controller card. I downloaded and installed 2.17 and got the same troubles; no cut, no paste, no 'drag and drop' etc. It was miserable.
Mine, fortunately, magically corrected after running the 'permissions verify and correct' process in Disc Utility and, after a restart, all was back to almost normal but for one exception; the Sonnet card was no longer present or functioning including the four eSATA ports out the back. (I ran Tech Tools Pro 5's repair suites first but, and who knows why, it didn't correct the problem...) This one was absolutely in the 'who knows what the f_'s going on and why it disappeared but did' class.
Oh, the other remnant is that, when the computer goes into sleep, after about five minutes, the fans rev up, and up, and the computer's frozen; only access is to do a forced shutdown pressing and holding the power button, so I've had to adopt a 'shut down whenever leaving it for more than fifteen minutes' approach to this dear friend. Once I've fully moved into and established my new one (which should arrive today, by the way... Yippeee!!! Can't wait!), I'll do a complete restoration on this one including taking out the Sonnet card. Usually, I sell my old Pro's but, this time, I'm going to keep this one as a back up and just general second computer for times I might need it. It has been such a great and dependable machine. Keeping it seems the right thing to do.
thanks Hatter. I'll let you know how things go, including what happens with the SSD. I don't have speed test software so I won't be able to track it's performance like that guy in the post you gave me did...
