Host-name - how do I find out which one to use ?

Hello,
Within a project I need to setup an MAC-OS-X server - since I am neither a network pro nor very familiar with MAC I am stuck with a quite simple question:
In one of the first windows of the installation process (Mac OS-X 10.4.3) Server) I am asked to provide host-name, computername and rendezvous name.
The computername is clear - but especially the hostname I don't know what to enter (the example given: www.domain.tld) does confuse me) but also what rules do apply for the rendezvous name ?. The server is not directly connected to the internet, it will be a dept. server within a university .
I feel quite stupid asking for this but I can't afford wasting more time with this little thing. Thanks it advance for the help and patience with me.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Unless your network is setup as an intranet, with a dns server resolving hostnames, you shouldn't need to worry about the hostname setting. As for rendezvous, it's usually in my experience, is the same as the computer name.
Hope this helps.

How do I find out which instruments are used by software instrument loops?

This isn't so much a problem, it's just something that's been bugging me - how do I find out which instruments are used by the software instrument loops?
Usually clicking on a track will bring up the instrument name in the track info pane, but if I do this after importing a software instrument loop into my song it doesn't show anything. Any ideas?
PS I have used the search function so I apologise in advance if there's an obvious answer.

in track info, under details, the instrument being used is displayed in the generator popUp menu

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

I have a MacBook 6,1 and have a number of start up discs. How can I find out which one came with my model?

They sometimes have that information on the label. Otherwise, it's trial and error. The model you have is a Late 2009 13" MacBook. It came with a special version of 10.6.1 pre-installed.

Is there a way to put them altogether now under my apple id with icloud?

I have a file it has a Hold - There are a number of holds in the hold list how do i find out which one this file has

Hi
I have a file which has a Hold.
However, It could be one of a number of Holds as defined by the Holds list. How do I (ideally in PowerShell) find out which hold is being used to hold the file and how can I remove that Hold from the file so I can change it and re-apply the hold ?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove Hold from the file.
If an item has been added to more than one hold, you can view the list of holds that pertain to that by using the Compliance Details command.
Open the list or library that contains the item for which you want to view the hold information.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
On the Compliance Details dialog, click Add/Remove from hold.
On the Hold Status page, click the arrow under the Remove from hold option to view a list of holds the item is associated with.
You can use the Compliance Details command to remove an individual item from a hold.
Open the list or library that contains the item that you want to remove from a hold.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
In the Hold Status section, click Add/Remove from a hold.
On the Item Hold Status page, select the Remove from hold option and then select the hold from which you want to release the item.
Click Save.
For more information, you can refer to:
Create a hold to suspend documents or items

Why doesn't the mac tell me which disk was not ejected properly? How can I find out which one it is referring to?

If the mac knows that a disk was not ejected properly why doesn't it tell me which one? Would that be making life too easy for non computer nerds????

Hello Rails50
All External Hard Drives, Flash Drives, Camera Cards, iPods, iPads etc. need to be ejected before you disconnect them. Likewise you may also get that message from any of the above mentioned devices if it is going bad, has a bad cord or a flaky connection.
To check your Console Log Messages, go to: Applications > Utilities > Console and select All Messages.
On that note, it would also help greatly if we knew what external device(s) you are using with your iMac?

PSE 9 Updates - How do I find out which ones I have and which ones I need to download?

I'm accustomed to being notified of updates automatically, which means I forget to check for the ones that don't send notifications (PSE 9). I looked through the list of updates, but don't know where to start because I don't know which ones have already been installed. They appear to be separate patches so I'm assuming (incorrectly perhaps) that downloading the most recent one won't include the previous patches. I'm not a technically savvy person so I don't like to jump into these things without some idea of where I am or should be going. I have a "Murphy's Law" problem - anything that can go wrong usually does in my experience.

If you download the most recent ones, it doesn't matter if you've missed any previous ones.

Delegate control, how can I find out which one is being used?

I am working with some mysites customizations and came across a delegate control. How can I tell which control SharePoint is currently pointing this delegate control to? If someone already swapped it out, how would I know?
<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="ColleaguesLink1" Scope="Farm" />
What does ColleaguesLink1 currently point to? What did it originally point to?

This blog post may get you started (same applies to SharePoint 2010):

How do I find out which app is using an item of hardware?

(This question may or may not require knowledge of Protools audio program to answer.)
When I try to load Protools 6.4 on my Mac, I get an error message (number 1133) saying that the DAE (Digital Audio Engine, I assume) is already being used by another app. The Avid (owner of Protools) website is of no help since it merely says to close the conflicting program, and believe it or not, some glitch prevents me from logging into their forum. So I'm hoping the Mac forum can help.
I learn from the only manual I have (Switching to the Mac: Snow Leopard edition by David Pogue: Yes, I know, I need to buy a Tiger manual)that the problem could be something loaded in the Login Items list in System Preferences > Accounts but I have gotten rid of all those. Or maybe something in Library > Startup Items or System > Library > Extensions. But there were only three items in the former (Digidesign Loader, NetGEARWLANClient Utility, and PACESupport), all of which I have moved to the trash. There are a gigantic number of items in the latter directory, and I moved only NegTEARWLANClient Utility to the trash since it least it has the same name as one of the others, though ostensibly ought not to matter.
But I still get the 'Digidesign hardware is in use by another application' error.
My manual by Pogue suggests a Safe Boot achieved by holding down the Shift key to prevent loading of the extensions, but apparently that had yet been implemented in Tiger since it doesn't work.
Having written the above, it just occurred to me to leave the Digidesign hardware unplugged till after I boot the Mac. However, before trying that, I'll post what I have so far (for fear of losing it if there's a power outage).

the problem could be something loaded in the Login Items list in System Preferences > Accounts but I have gotten rid of all those.
A question, did you just uncheck them or highlight them & click the little minus icon? Do they still show in the list? I'm not sure, but I don't think it takes effect until you restart.
Should anyone else come across this - the message is typical of not having the proper version of Pro Tools installed for the OS version being used.
In this case, the minimum Pro Tools version supported on OS 10.4.10 is 6.9.2 (or 6.8.1 with certain Digi hardware devices).

How do i find out which one of my family members bought a certain app

I got an email from apple that a certain app has been bought, and I would like to know who bought that app.
And If posibble I would like to know what device was used to bought that app.

You can find some useful evidence by opening iTunes.
Choose Apps in the left hand side column.
All purchased apps that have been purchased via iTunes on your computer or have been backed up from sync'ed devices are listed.
Find the problem app icon and right click on it. Choose Get info and an information panel opens up.
In that panel you will find the purchase date and time detailed . From that you may be able to deduce whom is responsible.
Also if all are running iOS5 and have Wifi syncing enabled you may be able to identify which iOS device its instaled on by simply looking at the Sync Apps panel for each device in ITunes.
I think thing for you is obvoiusly to express your disapointment for the breach of your trust from the culpret and most especially for the subsequent lie !

I have multiple ipods on my account...how do I find out which one purchased over $250 worth of games?

I have multiple ipods on my account (kids) and one or more of them purchased over $250 worth of games. I need to know which child(ren) did this so they can pay accordingly. The accout only tells what day they were purchased but doesn't say which ipod purchased. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photos-App: How do I find out which photos are used in a Shared Photo Stream?

Hi folks,
I just ecountered a “problem“ using a Shared Photo Stream.
FYI: I have circa 1.200 images stored in Photos-App. About 360 of them are used in a Shared Photo Stream.
Now I'd like to delete all the fotos NOT used in said Stream.
Since the images in said Stream are not in the same order as they were originally taken, there are also many images between the ones used.
So now I am confronted with the time-consuming task of comparing and deleting the photos, switching between Stream and Album/webview all the time.
And do it all by hand. Naaaaaaaah! ):
Any ideas on how to speed up this whole process?
(I already wrote Apple to maybe add a label or icon to the photos used in a Stream (when in any other view) so it gets easier to identify the right ones.)
Greets, Tim

Incorrect. Photos added to the Camera Roll are automatically uploaded to Photo Stream. Photos deleted from the Camera Roll are not automatically deleted from Photo Stream.
