How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?

How can I make OSX index a network share for spotlight?
I am using a QNAP NAS with SMB network shares, which I mount with OS X Mavericks. They are not searchable, as far as I know because of the indexing of network share is by default not activated.
To force the OS to index them I activated this via mdutils. But this is no solutions. This makes spotlight to index the share once. But I want spotlight to index it always and keep it up to date. I have a huge amount of documents & fotographs, which is very difficult to manage without being searchable.
Unfortunately the only solution I found in the www was the mdutils-way, which seems not to work, maybe only works not for me.
I would appreciate any assistance,
Thank you,
Stefan

My thanks to everyone who has contributed to solving this problem here.
It appears that there still is NOT a good, reliable solution. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I did find this on http://jonathansblog.co.uk/how-to-enable-spotlight-indexing-on-a-network-drive:
===================================
To enable spotlight indexing on a network drive:
# mdutil /Volumes/name -i on
To disable the indexing of a connected network drive:
# mdutil /Volumes/name -i off
To check the status of indexing on a connected network drive:
# mdutil /Volumes/name -s
===================================
And, I found this on the Synology NAS forums:
cd /Volumes
mdutil shareName -i on
mdimport -Vp ./shareName
where shareName = name of your share
I have used the mdutil /Volumes/name -i on, and it seems to work.
But, if I understand it correctly, it is a one-time indexing -- the index is NOT keep up-to-date with changes.
So, how can we keep the index up-to-date?
My thought was to schedule a Terminal file to execute each night with the mdutil code.
Would this work? If so, how would you setup a scheduled run?
Would it have to be done on each Mac that accesses the Share?

How can I make server use single class loader for several applications

I have several web/ejb applications. These applications use some common libraries and should share instances of classes from those libraries.
But applications are being deployed independently thus packaging all them to EAR is not acceptable.
I suppose the problem is that each application uses separate class loader.
How can I make AS use single class loader for a set of applications?
Different applications depend on different libraries so I need a way that will not share library for all applications on the domain but only for some exact applications.
When I placed common jar to *%domain%/lib* - all works. But that jar is shared between all applications on the domain.
When I tried to place common jar to *%domain%/lib/applibs* and specified --libraries* attribute on deploying I got exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: a.FirstDao cannot be cast to a.FirstDaoHere http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19879-01/820-4336/6nfqd2b1t/index.html I read:
If multiple applications or modules refer to the same libraries, classes in those libraries are automatically shared.
This can reduce the memory footprint and allow sharing of static information.Does it mean that classes should be able to be casted ?

You didn't specify which version of the application server you are using, but the config is similar as long as you know what to look for. Basically, you need to change the classloader delegation. Here's how it is done in 8.2

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person?

How can I make a book/podcast listening playlist for a blind person? How can lots of content be loaded, so that no navigation is required, for hundreds of hours of enjoyment?
I wanted to create a single playlist with hundreds of hours of books and podcasts for my grandmother who is blind. Then I planned to use something like the app CarTunes which basically makes the touch screen simply a gigantic pause/play button for an already created playlist. This is perfect for a blind person. The problem: Apple no longer allows you to have a playlist with Audible Books and Podcasts. I have tried; but the podcasts and books are stripped from the playlist. It seems like all podcast and book players require navigation. (How aggravating!?)
Any help in creating hundreds of hours long spoken (selected between books and podcasts) audio content playlist for a blind person would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, good news and bad news. I found out how to tell iTunes that all my music videos are, in fact, actual "music videos" and categorize them as such. In the "Get Info" screen for a track, there is a dropdown selector where you can pick the "meta" type, such as "Music Video", "Home Video", "Movie", "TV Show", etc. This allows iTunes and iOS to think they are all music videos and play them in the same list.
Unfortunately, this is not compatable with my third party device, which is now refusing to play my music videos in a playlist and will only play them one at a time (in a single-track infinite loop no less). Very frustrating!

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultz

It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How can I make another computer my main computer for sync use

my main computer is going to be the one that generates the change to book marks and tabs. when I first
set up sync I used a secondary computer not realizing it would be the main computer. how can i change
the status of the computers. now that all of my data has merged I need to clean it up and maintain it for
the new main computer. Thank you Miles

If your secondary system don't want to SYNC. then try the following method to stop SYNC
Type '''about:config''' in URL and search for '''services.sync.prefs.sync.''' and set the value as "fasle".

How can I make one computer server at Home for access of SQL Server 2012/2008

Hi All,
Sorry for this basic question but I am zero in networking. I will be very grateful if someone guides what should I do to make one of my home PC as server. Scenario is as follows:
I want to give training to few students about SQL SERVER T-SQL.
I have one Laptop using SQL Server 2012 having Windows 7 Pro(Laptop Master-want to make this server). I have other laptop running Windows 7 pro and got SQL SERVER 2008. My students have mix of laptops including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows
8. All students have SQL SERVER 2008 installed and working.
Q1: I actually want to make Laptop Master(explained in above paragraph) as server and want other laptops to access that master server in home network. I will install sample exercise database on server and students will be writing queries to access
data.
Q2: can I secure sample database from students who can copy sample database from server?
Q3: can students run queries remotely sitting their home?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
A K
Adnan

Hi itsadnan,
According to your description, if you want to make your Laptop as Server, and your student can log in your SQL Server 2012 instance, you need to ensure that your computer and student’s computers are the same domain, and you enable TCP/IP, name pipes protocol
in SQL Server Configuration Manager, your SQL Server 2012 instance is allowed to connect remotely and your student install SQL Server Manager Studio 2012 as client tool in their computer, and you create the related login name for your students. For more information,
see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
According to your requirement, in actual, since your students install SQL Server 2008 on their computer, you totally can ask your student to install the sample exercise database in their SQL Server. For example, there are many resource about sample database
in Website, which is helpful for student to learn database technology, such as
AdventureWorks databases for SQL Server 2008. From SQL Server Management Studio, they can attach an AdventureWorks database, then write queries to access data.
Since you have SQL Server 2008 in your other laptop, you can create the sample exercise database, and student can install this database via backup and restore, then write queries to access data and send to you for checking if it is right.
Note: Due to backwards compatibility, The students could not restore SQL Server 2012 database in their SQL Server 2008 instance.
Thanks,

How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

How can I make a Java program pyramid using for loops??

Hi guys, so I'm stuck with my program here... I don't know how to make it work, and i've been trying really hard.. So now i give up and need some guidance.. Please help me here.
Your job in this assignment is to write programs to solve each of these six problems.
1. Write a GraphicsProgram subclass that draws a pyramid consisting of bricks
arranged in horizontal rows, so that the number of bricks in each row decreases by
one as you move up the pyramid, as shown in the following sample run:
The pyramid should be centered at the bottom of the window and should use
constants for the following parameters:
BRICK_WIDTH The width of each brick (30 pixels)
BRICK_HEIGHT The height of each brick (12 pixels)
BRICKS_IN_BASE The number of bricks in the base (14)
The numbers in parentheses show the values for this diagram, but you must be able
to change those values in your program.
* File: Pyramid.java
* Name:
* Section Leader:
* This file is the starter file for the Pyramid problem.
* It includes definitions of the constants that match the
* sample run in the assignment, but you should make sure
* that changing these values causes the generated display
* to change accordingly.
import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Pyramid extends GraphicsProgram {
/** Width of each brick in pixels */
 private static final int BRICK_WIDTH = 30;
/** Width of each brick in pixels */
 private static final int BRICK_HEIGHT = 12;
/** Number of bricks in the base of the pyramid */
 private static final int BRICKS_IN_BASE = 14;
 public void run() {
}That's my problem.

yo, so i figure out my for loop. my code is very very very very ugly, so dont laugh i know its ugly! just wanna ask for some tips
public void run() {
 int initBrick = 30;
 int initPlacement = (getWidth() - BRICK_WIDTH) / 2;
 for (int i = 0; i < initBrick; i += 30)
 int initX = i;
 int x = initX + initPlacement;
 GRect brick = new GRect(x, 0, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
 add(brick);
 for (int i = 0; i < 60; i += 30)
 int initX = i;
 int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 15;
 int y = 12;
 GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
 add(brick);
 for (int i = 0; i < 90; i += 30)
 int initX = i;
 int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 30;
 int y = 24;
 GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
 add(brick);
 for (int i = 0; i < 120; i += 30)
 int initX = i;
 int x = (initX + initPlacement) - 45;
 int y = 36;
 GRect brick = new GRect(x, y, BRICK_WIDTH, BRICK_HEIGHT);
 add(brick);

 }So yeah, it's very ugly. not general. BUT now; I know the logic of the program..
I need to change 3 variables here.
the Y var, the X variable, and the size of the loop test..
so I need to make a one compact for loop that will change those 3 for every time the loop finish, or for every row the variable will change...
Ill try to think again, ill head to the balcony, and squeeze my brain. YEAH it took me this long to figure this out, anyway im a noob YET. But i was working a while ago.
ANYWAY, leave some tips please.. I NEED TIPS NOT SOLUTION

How can I make a "Youtube" style video gallery for offline, '.air' use?

I work for a language company and we've put together a set of videos for use in computers, not online. Currently we're using Apple's Keynote to present our videos to to the student. This has the advantage of allowing us to put videos in a sequential order, with absolutely no work in the development department, and most importantly was easy for any student to control and navigate.
Things have now changed.
Keynote can no longer hold the size of our videos and we are constantly adding and changing videos all the time. Now that CS5 is out, I would like to build a stand alone flash application for our system modeled after the same look and functionality of youtube.
Key features would be:
• Main video player that links to our resident video files
• Something that generates and displays a title for the current video
• A text box below the main video player for notes and instructions
• a side bar of thumbnails for all related videos, with titles displayed
Future features would be an easy way for us to change videos in and out of the library (by "uploading" and "downloading" using a form for the videos, although not to the net, but again, on the resident computer).
It looks like CS5 would make this possible. My plan is to make a youtube-like site using flash catalyst. I think I can do it myself since the first version only needs basic elements and design, but I know I'm going to run into some problems because I'm not sure the limitations of catalyst for this style of interactive video gallery.
What I'm looking for is someone to just quickly guide, tell, or yell me in the right direction, and I'm really keen (hell-bent?) on trying it out using Flash Catalyst... is this the way?
Keeping in mind that my first draft only has to be a simple working version of the system, and I can play with the rest later, is any of what I said possible using flash catalyst?
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!

I doubt MU can do this. It's pretty limited in scope & I don't think it supports server-side code which you would need to parse feeds. But feel free to post your question in the MU forum. Maybe somebody there has a workaround.

How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer. I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows. Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother? I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.
Do you get any error messages?
