How do I switch which of my 2 WLAN controllers is set to be the controller that accepts new WAPs?
Hello:
I have 2 WLAN controllers, a 4400 series and 5500 series controller. The 4400 series has 100 seat limit on it, with 74 Access Points currently connected. The 5500 series has a 250 max, but we bought it with only 50 licenses, and it is max'd out at 50.
The 5500 controller is the controller that has a DNS entry so that the Access Points will know to find that controller as they're being added. BUT, because we've reached our limit of 50 licenses, I'd like to be able to set the 4400 series controller to be the controller that new Access Points try to connect to. By going back to the 4400 as the controller that new Access Points connect to buys me time to plan for more licenses on next years budget for the 5500 controller.
Does anyone know how I can do this? Does this make any sense...seeing there are 2 WLAN controllers in my environment.
Thank You,
Jon
Thanks, I'll try this in the morning.
I thought of something this evening while at home...Seeing I have 2 WLAN controllers, only the 5500 is listed as an A record on my DNS server. The 4400 is not listed. The 4400 is the one I'm attempting to enable master Controller Mode on, so that the 4400 can discover and manage any unmanaged APs. I enabled Master Controller Mode, but I never changed the DNS A record's IP address to reflect the 4400. If I change the DNS entry to be the IP of the 4400, then enable Master Controller Mode, do you think the controller will then see the APs? I ask because a few threads ago, I asked Stephen which name to use when assigning a name to the primary controller...use the name on the controller or the name in DNS. Stephen replied: "no, the DNS entry is specific to the discovery process. You want the IS-WLC-2 in the 'primary' name field."
So, I'm hoping that switching the A record to be the 4400's IP address AND enabling master Control Mode will allow the APs to be discovered and managed. Does this sound plausible?
Thanks
Jon

Just bought a Mac book and the set up is with the Voice over key commands,how do you switch this off as it is painfull to use and use the scroll pad?
It's the button (key) that is labelled Control.
Each of the modifier keys and similar keys has its own symbol; this makes listing command keys easier to do. The Command key is usually the only key which has its symbol printed on the key. If you open Keyboard Viewer (in the Input menu, the one which displays the flag in the main menu bar), you can see what symbol refers to which key. -
How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?
I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?
Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

Why? Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

Live with the phone as is.
Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished. -
How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.
It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:) -
I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID and PW?
Thank you so muchIf you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

You would have to move to the U.S. and find a place to live. Then you would have to get a credit card billed to that U.S address. Then, as long as you were inside the borders of the U.S., you could buy from the U.S store.

I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?
If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account. The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days. When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

How do I switch which Apple ID is associated with?
I already know that I need to go into settings and click store to switch the apple ID, but every time I go in there, the button is grayed-out so that I can't click on it. Help?
That means yo have to go to Settings>General>Restrictions and unset the Restrictions that prevent changing accounts. You have to enter the passcode that was set in order to access Restrictions to make that change.

Is that not enough to connect facebook to the new account?
I mean, it may automaticlally replace the link with the old account.
Please just tell me if i'm wrong or right :)
Hey,
To be honest, I have absolutely no idea!
I just take the route that I believe minimises any risk of something blowing up server side, and whilst it may well automatically disconnect, it only takes a few seconds to disconnect before connecting to the new account, and just eliminates that risk of a load of errors popping up :P
