Help! Advice needed urgently.

Hey everyone,
I've got an older gen Macbook but I'm about to make the jump away from PC desktop land and am seriously considering a mini. Was going to get an Imac but I'm in love with my current Apple Cinema Display and I really don't want to get saddled with an inferior Imac screen.
The big question: I'm currently using an HP desktop that's 2.13 GHz with 2 gigs of ram. If I went with a 2 GHz mini with 4 gigs of ram, would I be seeing a slower computing experience as a result of having a slower processor in spite of the ddr3 ram? Mainly using my system for Photoshop, writing, browsing and light video editing work.
Also, I'd be going from a dedicated GPU that's close to three years old (GE Force 7350 LE with 128 mb of dedicated video memory) to the integrated 9400.
I'd hate to get a better OS but have a step-down in speed and functionality. Am I worrying for nothing?

I'd say if the video work is light then it will be fine. Otherwise, you are going to want something with a more powerful GPU than the 9400M G in the Mini. The higher end iMacs are also blazing and have better GPUs (at a much higher price of course with $1799 for the 24" with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120.
The F800 will help tremendously with Photoshop as a scratch disk. Also, you are going to want 7200RPM HDDs inside the computer and on the external. If not, the 5400 RPM internal may lag behind when doing a lot of reading/writing to the drive. I'd recommend the [Hitachi 7k320|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145228] from Newegg for $59.98 after $20 mail in rebate, free shipping, and no tax. If you want a 7k500 you are going to have to wait for online stores to get more stock as only [Seagate|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148374] makes one and it is out of stock. You are also going to want at least 4GB of RAM if doing multiple things at once. Considering the DDR3 RAM prices have dropped tremendously down to [$52.99|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148191]. Using ebates to get [$5 cash back plus 2% is also a plus|http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=DMMneqKtzskNampKdYmMZA%3D%3D].
As for your question, it isn't really a matter of hard drive rotation speed (unless you are talking the original 5400 RPM in the Mini and not upgrading to 7200 RPM) but because 3.5" HDDs (desktop HDDs) are much faster than 2.5" HDDs (Notebook HDDs like that in the Mini).
I am almost 100% sure the 9400M G is a big step up from the 7350 LE as even back then it was mainly a low end desktop dedicated card. The CPU of the Mac Mini is also about on par to the HP CPU. However, the upgrade to the Mini to 2.26GHz makes it a bit better. Though remember that the HP uses a desktop class CPU. You can check the Specs at Intel's site. The [HP 2.13GHz E6420|http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA4T]. The [Mini 2GHz P7350|http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLB53] and the [Mini 2.26GHz P8400|http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLB3R]
In the end, if your PC really isn't working for you right now you can decide whether or not to switch. However, if you pop in some more RAM to the HP maybe it will work better for you?

Multiple Xserve config- help/advice needed...

We have just purchased a second xserve (quadcore) to go along with our current xserve (G5 dual-core). We run FTP, web(wikis, blogs, etc that use the LDAP for authentication), LDAP, Open Directory, softwareupdate, DNS, NetInstall (occasionally) and AFP services.
I would like to share the services across the two servers- using the new, more powerful machine to host the home directories, AFP, FTP, etc; and the older machine to handle web, etc. My concern is that I would like to have both use the same LDAP so that I only have to enter in users once, and so that everyone can access their files via FTP at one IP.
Is this even the best way to be thinking about implementing this? Will assigning one server as the OD master, and the other as the OD replica provide both servers with the same LDAP directory? I have clearly never done this before, and I am very excited to be able to use two servers to increase the efficiency. Thanks for any help/advice.

Hi

Yes

Yes
I've done this myself many times. The relevant Admin Manuals do have enough information outlining what needs to be done:
http://www.apple.com/server/resources/
Steve's link is something you should definitely look at. There are some minor differences but nothing to get worried about. Both Servers have to be exactly the same OS and SSH needs to be enabled.

I am probably being a bit thick here with this question so please be gentle with me !
I am new to BT internet and have a limit of !0 gig on my download per month . Now if I watch live tv eg sky tv on my laptop

Thank you in advance for any help advice given

No it does not, even if you use your own hotspot.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Help/advice needed - cannot restore iPod!

My iPod was working fine, until I tried to update it! Then my computer froze, and the iPod just showed the 'Do Not Disconnect' for hours. The iPod icon wasn't showing up in iTunes or on my desktop, so I disconnected it, and now I just get the little folder and exclamation point icon.
I have followed all the advice on the various Apple documents,, but every time I try to restore it, the update doesn't seem to recognise the iPod, and keeps telling me 'Plug in iPod', even though it is plugged in. I have tried using different USB ports, and the iPod does show up in My Computer (as Drive F), but the updater refuses to recognise it.
I have tried -
Resetting iPod
Putting it into Disk Mode
Have reinstalled Itunes, and redownloaded the iPod updater. Have also tried using old updaters, as well as reinstalling off the original CD that came with the iPod.
Have installed Service Pack 2, run Scan Disk, disconnected firewalls, AVG anti-virus etc.
My iPod is fully charged, but when I turn it on I keep getting the Apple logo, then the folder/exclamation point icon.
Any help/advice much appreciated!
Thank you

Somebody please help. I'm trying hard not to sand in line at Sam's Club to return a 3 years old item. LOL. But at least I have this option. I'm grandfathered into their old return anytime policy.
I've tried formatting it, I can't even format it. Anybody?

Help/Advice needed on setting up home office network please

Hi
I hope someone can help me with some technical difficulties i am having with a home / office network.
Computer equipment i have is:
2 desktop PCs on same floor different rooms.
2 laptop PCs to be used wired in office and/or Wifi if possible any room
2 Apple mac Laptops to be used wired in office and/or Wifi in any room.
1 HP Laser printer with network enabled
1 TB HDD network enabled
1 Linksys WiFi extender unit
Connection equipment:
I have an NTL Cable modem
Linksys WR54G ver 2 router ( with the option of going to aLinksys WRT300N ver 2 router)
A Netgear Dual speed hub DS116
What i would like to do is have one office holding 1 desktop pc, 1 HP Printer and the other office holding the 2nd desktop PC with USB printer attached. I would like to be able to go Wifi around the house for all PC & Mac Laptops with the option of connecting them by wire in the office if required.
Idealy i would like to be able to share files, folders and printers between all units as well as all having internet access through the router's firewall.
I also use Zone Alarm Pro.
At the moment i have in one office the WR54G attached to the cable modem with one Desktop PC wired in to one of the 4 ports. in a 2nd port i have a cable going to the 2nd office into the DS116.
Connected to the DS116 is the 2nd Desktop PC, the HP Laser printer and the 1TB HDD.
The Wifi extender is in another room.
For some reason every now and then the whole system goes wobbly and seems to loose settings at which point internet access is denied and ihave to go back to 1 pc into the cable modem and starting rebuilding the network.
Can anyone give me an idiots guide to settin this kind of system up with specificsettings on each item if possible.
I would say i would also like to use 1 desktop PC for gaming now and then which at the moment sems very hit and miss with speed etc.
Any help warmly welcomed
Best Rgds

Following on from Steve's advice I would probably not bring the unwanted channels all the way down on the faders, either in a live mix or if mixing subsequently in Audition, as it may change the background acoustic too much. Leaving a bit of the background mics faded up a bit helps to pull the whole recording together and also means you have a better chance of getting all the faders back up in time for when they are needed without missing anything.
I didn't actually touch on this at all - perhaps I should have. There's definitely more than one way to undertake this sort of operation, and it rather depends on exactly what equipment you have available. So far, we know you've got potentially 16 channels available, but have no idea how you were planning to cover the different aspects of it. For instance, I would always consider it worth it to have a pair of ambience mics up all the time - which would get around this particular problem anyway....
The other thing you really have to pay quite a bit of attention to before you start is making damn sure (the previous day) that everything is in good order, and it all works when connected together. And if, for instance, you're going to rely on radio mic feeds from clergy, that you can tap into these without difficulty, etc. Make sure your mic stands are not falling apart, and that you've got all the right mic stand adaptors - amazing how many times people have screwed that one up!
What this generally means is that even if you're familiar with the location, you still need to do a reccé just to make sure that everything in the venue is as you think. And if you can grab a dedicated assistant for the event, go for it. This can make carting stuff about a lot easier, and provide additional security for your equipment. And sometimes other benefits too, like tea...

So many things wrong with this post... from [url http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#urgent]How to Ask Questions the Smart Way:
Don't flag your question as ?Urgent?, even if it is for you
That's your problem, not ours. Claiming urgency is very likely to be counter-productive: most hackers will simply delete such messages as rude and selfish attempts to elicit immediate and special attention.
There is one semi-exception. It can be worth mentioning if you're using the program in some high-profile place, one that the hackers will get excited about; in such a case, if you're under time pressure, and you say so politely, people may get interested enough to answer faster.
This is a very risky thing to do, however, because the hackers' metric for what is exciting probably differ from yours. Posting from the International Space Station would qualify, for example, but posting on behalf of a feel-good charitable or political cause would almost certainly not. In fact, posting ?Urgent: Help me save the fuzzy baby seals!? will reliably get you shunned or flamed even by hackers who think fuzzy baby seals are important.
If you find this mysterious, re-read the rest of this how-to repeatedly until you understand it before posting anything at all.
Be precise and informative about your problem
Describe the symptoms of your problem or bug carefully and clearly.
Describe the environment in which it occurs (machine, OS, application, whatever). Provide your vendor's distribution and release level (e.g.: ?Fedora Core 1?, ?Slackware 9.1?, etc.).
Describe the research you did to try and understand the problem before you asked the question.
Describe the diagnostic steps you took to try and pin down the problem yourself before you asked the question.
Describe any recent changes in your computer or software configuration that might be relevant.
Do the best you can to anticipate the questions a hacker will ask, and to answer them in advance in your request for help.
Simon Tatham has written an excellent essay entitled How to Report Bugs Effectively. I strongly recommend that you read it.
Volume is not precision
You need to be precise and informative. This end is not served by simply dumping huge volumes of code or data into a help request. If you have a large, complicated test case that is breaking a program, try to trim it and make it as small as possible.
This is useful for at least three reasons. One: being seen to invest effort in simplifying the question makes it more likely that you'll get an answer, Two: simplifying the question makes it more likely you'll get a useful answer. Three: In the process of refining your bug report, you may develop a fix or workaround yourself

Satellite P100-307 exchanging HDD Help/Advice needed

Hello,
Thanks for your recent advice on exchanging my 200 GB HDD in to an 500 GB Sized HDD.
Can you please let me know, what i have to do with the new HDD so that my P100 can recognize it (do i have to format it etc.) ? I would like to mirror the existing HDD onto the new one.....how does it go ?
Sorry to bother you with this Beginner-Questions........
RGDS

Windows will recognise a new hard drive (I presume you will be booting the machine from cd) and it it needs formatting it will tell you. You may then have to change the format from FAT32 to NTFS - Windows help will tell you how to do that..
If you are wanting to mirror the old disc image onto the new disc then I think some google research is in order eg "mirror new laptop drive" there are old versions of disk imaging programs availanble for free download that will handle NTFS. names to search for include Acronis and Norton Ghost.
How are you going to "connect" the old and new drives - eg external usb caddy, across a network, mount both drives in a pc.
You can copy the all files using the DOS command xcopy with the include hidden files/folders switch.
Does your old drive have a hidden partition for recovery purposes and you need to decide how you handle that.

Help, advice needed for learning Action Script

I don't have any experience with programing and even scripting and I can't find tutorials for total beginners. I started to read this one
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b8cbfe-7ff7.html
but I have difficulties understanding the explanations.
If you have any advice and pointers to tutorials for total dummy beginners I will greatly appreciate it.

I’m 27 years old and one month ago I started study ActionScript 3.0. After red a lot of forums with recommendations about what need to do for study as3 I clear next things:
Try to visit forums about as3 and discus with people about your problems and also try to help other solve their problems (you can help a lot of people to solve their problems, you can find a lot answers to your questions, you can share your experience with others)
Try to read books about as3 (in books you can find all theory and some examples for this theory, so this info will be very helpful for you, because it’s a fundamental knowledge what you must to know)
Try to visit sites with tutorials (on the net you can find a lot sites with tutorials and there you step by step will study a lot of things)
Share your knowledge with others (create your blog or something else where you will show to people your examples of work, where you will write about as3 and will share your experiences and knowledge, this can give you chance to consolidate your knowledge and give opportunity other people study as3)
Try to separate big not understandable problem to smaller(after you find answer to all small problems you can find answer to big problem)
And the main what you must remember then YOU MUST CODING EVERY DAY! (I think without it you never been a as3 coder.)
I can recommend next sites witch can help you to study ActionScript 3.0:

Help/advice Needed! Paid for 2 years with no servi...

I have been with BT for 2 years since we moved into our first home, paying approx £40 a month for phone line and broadband! When we initially signed up we were asked various questions to see what product would be best for us, we told them we wouldn't be using phone line as we use our mobiles and would only use the wifi for childrens iPad! We were told to download BT app and log into wifi using email and password which we have done for 2 years! The wifi has always been very slow Nd hit and miss but we live in middle of no where so thought it was our area! After 2 years we have decided to start using home phone for childrens school purposes! So we bought phone, plugged it in and no dialling tone! Called BT who sent out engineer within a week! When engineer arrived he asked where is our hub? My response being whats a hub? After explaining how we usually connect to wifi he explained that that's not our wifi and a hotspot! So basically been paying for over 2 years never used land line or Internet due no fault of our own! We were never told about a hub or received one? The engineer told me to call and complain so which I did over 3 weeks ago! The advisor says he would fill in a form and pass on to his manager, but sent is a hub out which is charged us for? The hub has came and I still can't get any internet after spending another 2 hours on phone doing various tests they can't get it working and are sending out another engineer and was told could possibly be charged £129 for! As you can imagine I am furious with? I still haven't heard back from anyone and have sent a complaints form in also! Can anyone give me any advice on where I stand as I'm not very good with technology? Thanks

Synchronizing mail.app and google mail - help / advice needed

i recently decided to consolidate 2-3 of my email accounts into one account.
Here is what I did.
1. opened a new gmail account
2. copied messages from other folders into the "All Mail" folder of this account.
3. copied 20000 odd messages into the mail.app folder - but only 10880 messages can be seen on google online account.
Problem i need to solve:
1. i have confirmed that several of the messages that are in the offline folder are not on google.
2. i have tried to synchronize this account by choosing the menu action to synchronize.
3. But these messages are not finding their way to the online interface.
How do I move the remaining messages to google online?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Howdy,
One thing I found: I've noted that some mail's larger then approx. 20MB will not copy over.
Also, I've seen some reduction of the count of mail items, that appeared to be due to duplicate emails, I believe that Google's site is automatically de-duplicating, for our 'convenience'. The 'All mail' folder especially, will probably try to de-duplicate. Not sure if it's the same as copying into a 'new' individual folder, or not, as Google's 'all' folder does some special things. Perhaps copying to a new seperate folder may help.
I'm not 100% positive, but take a look, and see if you find that you've got some that you can sort for by size (make sure you're displaying the size column in mail.app) that are over 20MB or even close to that size, and/or also find several emails, with the same subject, date & time stamp, and when copied onto Google's account, then there is only one copy.
I would check those things out first, and see if that helps resolve the issues.
Cheers,
Daniel Feldman

ADVICE NEEDED-URGENT

Hi Gurus,
My requirment is such that i have to split a single sales data into many records based on material. ( A material 'AA' has some X components, i have to split the data for that material'AA' into X records. Each record corresponding to a particular component). I am not able to use infoset because i have to pick the material with latest part depending on a date field. So how to proceed with this?. I can write a code and split the record into X records in start routine, but SAP advices not to add any records in start routine. If i increase the size of the source package 10 times what will happen. Will the load fail or only performance will be affected? Whether anyboby has any other suggestions?
Note: Infoset and multiprovider are ruled out.

Hi Raghavendra,
To answer this, yes we can do that in the start routine.
We have also done something similar.
This obvisuoly is going to be an impact to data load performance, but still possible.
I assume that for each of these split records, you are also trying to split the keyfigure values based on some logic or look up.

Help/advice needed on installing Communications Suite!

Hi,
I'm still a new boy with Solaris so this is going to be more of a training excersize then anything else.
Basically I have a Sun E420r server in a home rack along with some Netra T105's to train me up with Solaris. I would like to install the Java Communication Suite on the E420r, however I haven't been able to find any install guides for it on the sun.docs website.
Ok being too hasty with no experiance I downloaded the Enterprise System first and tried installing all components at once (bad idea!) which didn't go in well at all as many of them failed. I have now decided to switch to the Communications Suite standalone installer but I'm still having problems with some components already installed from the Enterprise Suite installer and also I'm not sure how to even get the services up and running.
Sorry if I sound like a total beginner, I have manged to get many things up and running with Solaris 9 and 10 so far but could not find any guides for this at all. I did find this page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1312.2
which is ok for when you have the system setup but what do I do to get it to that stage??
The server also runs the Secure Global Desktop Software coupled with the Sun Ray Server Software of which a Ray client is running off the system. But I really wanted to experiment with the Communications suite too as currently I have Scalix (MS Exchange equivelent) running on a CentOS Linux based system which was relatively straight forward to setup using CLI or GUI it's pretty simple - with documentation of course :-)
If anyone can just give me a hint or point me in the right direction I'd be really greatful!!
Many thanks

Many thanks again Shane!

Correct. Thunderbird doesn't have a personal-addressbook extension at this time. For synchronisation with hand-held devices, you would use http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Sun+Java+Mobile+Communications+Documentation
This is in part due to a lack of standards for addressbook/calendar data. The CalDAV/CardDAV standards will help in the future. We are already working on the CalDAV side of the equation:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Calendar+Server+7+Information
Seems like you work at Sun :-D
This kinda goes out to everyone that works there but just keep doing what you guys do best and creating amazing software and hardware. I really hope the Oracle takeover won't disrupt that at all as I am totally taken by Solaris I think it's awsome!!!
-Too bad that I got into so late though as I've been using Linux since around 2004-2005 and Solaris for only round say 3-4 months now which means in comparison my experience is really limited. However on the plus side things are shaping up very well as I seem to be nearly in a job which means that I will make lots of use of Solaris OS and depending on what the company wants I may be involved with setting Solaris boxes up too which would be amazing as it would give me a whole lot of opportunity to learn much more then what I can with 4, 10 years old servers as part of my home lab. Although the position is no way guaranteed but things are looking really positive.
All I can say is that I can't wait to use Solaris in a professional environment but also can't wait to get funding for newer more powerful machines for my lab so I can actually make use of a lot more Sun software like clustering and Java Web server and all the cool freebies which can be downloaded!

problem is, I don't want viewers to have to vertical scroll on any of the pages, I want the left hand address to always be visible at the bottom of the screen/page and I want the last line of text on in the right bar to line up with the bottom line of the address on the left. I know this isn't the easiest thing to control (due to browser compatibility) but i'm seeking advise for the best compromise/solution.
At the moment, i'm staying safe with a 800 x 600 px page. but to attempt to squeeze the content on the right into a space less than 600px high makes the text too small to read. Was thinking of going up to 1024 x 768 px but am worried that this will lead to vertical and horizontal scrolls.
I am currently using a fixed layout. I have looked into experimenting with elastic and liquid layouts but, and here's the real bind, I want the text content in the right hand bar to line up with the images in the navigation bar!! Am I right in thinking that with relative formats the images don't change it's just the text?

Abe Lincoln said, "you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time." He should have been a web designer.
To achieve the pixel perfect precision you're after, you'll need to build your pages entirely with images. Seriously, you can't control where things line up if the end user's settings are not exactly like your own. So don't go there.
Identify your target audience. Desktop/laptops mostly use 1024 - 1280 wide displays.
Google labs - Browser Size
http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/
Excessive horizontal scrolling to see a page is bad practice but vertical scrollbars are perfectly acceptable, and expected by site visitors. You're not doing anybody any favors by making your pages a fixed height. Depending on which toolbars people have opened in their browsers, you may find that 90% of your site visitors are seeing scrollbars anyway.
I want the left hand address to always be visible at the bottom of the screen/page
Use a fixed division. See Sticky Demos below.

Rogue Users: Advice Needed Urgently

Hello all,
I'll get right to it: I was checking out some of the lesser used (by me) software apps that come with tiger, and stumbled across Netinfo Manager.
Upon looking at the 'users' section, I found, along with my own login's and those of my family and friends for this computer, a worrying amount of other 'users'. Some I believe to be ok, such as 'xgridagent' and 'securityagent' etc, but a few I am sure are malicious: a user called 'clamav' for instance. The details of this user, as listed in netinfo manager, are as follows:
Password *
Uid 82
Expire 0
Home /var/virusmails
Gid 82
Shell /bin/tcsh
Name clamav user
Change 0
writerspasswd clamav
Please check the linked picture.
I am still relatively new with mac's since the switch, and honestly, I have been somewhat slack regarding the security of my machine, believing them to be infallible compared to my old windows comps: machines that I loaded with firewalls and virus software etc, kept a close eye on.
I would greatly appreciate some advice: what do I do with these users - the utility gives me the option to delete them: do I simply to this: and how did they infiltrate my workspace to begin with? What can I do to stop it? Firewall is on most of the time, although it will be on permanently now. I invite everyone to check their own netinfo manager for similar problems, although I hope it is simply a rookie error on my part...

Anyone savvy with find my iphone app? major help/advice needed

Soo, lost my Iphone 5..its been "offline" in find my iphone, and there has been no calling activity when i check my Verizon account..pretty sure someone turned it off because it was over 80% when it went missing, and it has been off ever since because i have not seen an "old location." If the a**hole who has my phone reset everything, is there anyway it can be found/tracked after that? Should i keep to my guns and cross my fingers that they will turn in on?

Lilfoot6 wrote:
... while i continue to wait and hope to catch them making phone calls on my verizon account?
You need to call Verizon to tell them that you have lost your phone, Verizon will then be able to de-activate your SIM from being used, so you wont be billed for un-authorized calls made.

Help! Advice needed urgently.
