How do you define what machines will get an IP form your Lion DHCP server?

I have set up a Mac Mini Lion server for use in my classroom. I currently have 8 macs that are connecting to it. I would like my Lion server to serve IPs to these 8 macs, so I have set up the DHCP server to assign these. When I look at what machines are receiving their IP from my server, I am getting everyones iPods, iPhones and other devices. Basically, my DHCP is assigning IPs to these devices, whereas normally these would be assigned from the main school server (not my Lion server). How do tell my Lion Server to only use the DHCP on my 8 macs, not everyones iDevices and Macs. Thanks.

There are two aspects to this. First as Stronium90 says it is normally a bad idea, i.e. more trouble than it is worth to have more than one DHCP server on same LAN.
The first issue you therefore need to address is to ensure that if you have two DHCP servers only one responds to these specific clients. This means you would need to set the Mac DHCP server to only respond to these devices and you would have to set the other DHCP server to respond to all others and ignore these specific devices. To tell the Mac DHCP server to do this you need to add settings manually to the /etc/bootpd.plist file. This is the main configuration file for Apple's DHCP server and is an XML format file. You can find instructions by doing man bootpd in the Terminal.app.
The second issue is if you want to use static IP addresses then you need to define them in the /etc/bootptab file. As standard this file does not exist but all you need to do is create one and the Mac DHCP server will start using it. The following may be helpful https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man5/bootptab.5.html

How do you know what view is available to a form?

A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
How do you know what view is available to a form?

Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
baseContext=':variables.user'
And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

How do you know what HDD to get for MacBook?

Hi,
I've read loads of posts but am really a average Mac user and don't know much about memory/hard drives or any hardware to be honest.
I have a MacBook which I bought in January 2009. It's a 13 inch aluminium one so I think that makes it the late 2008 model as that's all I can find when I'm searching. I bought the 160GB model which I think was a 2 ram.
I now have about 95GB free but software takes ages to load sometimes the icon bounces for a while, software also freezes or lags too.
Does this mean if I get a bigger hard drive these problems will go? I've had it just nearly 3 years and really don't want to buy another one as they're expensive. I took it in to apple and they did a complete refresh or something so it was like new but still after I put all my work back on the memory went down again and problems came back.
I have no idea how to change the hard drive although I can see it when I open the battery cover.
Could anyone help me pick one I just want the most storage I found this link but am confused on which one to pick or if they're any good: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
Do I then have to get RAM too? How do I know it will work and not ruin my laptop?
Don't I have to put the OS back on? I bought the upgrade through the app store as It came with leopard and I got the disk update for snow leopard so which disk do I use?
Also where does my work go, should I move it all onto a USB first then move it to the new one?
I'm sorry I just really can't deal with it slowing down as I have a lot of things open as I'm doing my dissertation, but also don't want to risk losing all my files at this stage as it's my last year at university and don't want to lose any work or files/ software like word etc.
I do use time machine has I bought an external to try get rid of the problem but when I connect the external one in using USB my mac starts to slow down and freeze up anyway.
Sorry if this is a lot and if it's already been asked but I'm just so confused, I asked the apple store if they can do it but they said they can't and to look online and google around.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If that's not a typo and you really do have 95GB free on your 160GB hard disk, it is unlikely that a larger hard drive will noticeably speed up your system. If it was a typo, and you have only 95MB free, then yes, you are extremely short of hard disk space, and a larger hard drive would absolutely help.
Here's a step by step video that shows the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcMtKfDIKHY
You need a small phillips screwdriver and a Torx T6 to accomplish the task. Since your old drive still works, you should probably purchase an external USB enclosure for it, and use it to transfer data from your old drive to your new drive before installation. Then you'll have the old drive as an additional external drive for backup or 'testing' OS upgrades. I use mine to download and install the latest OS X upgrades before installing them on my 'working' machine.
Apple MacBook internal hard drives are usually 5400 rpm. A 7200 rpm drive will give you a slight performance boost, without significantly reducing battery life or increasing noise or heat. Recent floods in Thailand have shut down major hard disk manufacturers and have significantly increased hard drive prices, so if you still have 95GB free, you should wait until prices stabilize in a few months. If you DO need to purchase a drive, a 500GB model is likely to meet your storage needs for a long time. Internal Macbook hard drives need to be 2.5" SATA, and a maximum of 9.5mm in height. From the vendor you linked to, these drives are listed:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
I haven't tried hybrid or SSD drives, so I won't comment on either of them.
A RAM memory upgrade would be my first recommendation.
Snow Leopard runs quite well on 4GB RAM. Your MacBook unibody (the aluminum one) can use 2GB, or 4GB, RAM modules, up to a total of 8GB. Details here: http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb.
It is likely that you currently have two 1GB RAM modules inserted, so purchasing a set of two 2GB modules or two 4GB modules is the best solution. If you intend to upgrade to OS X Lion 10.7 eventually, I'd purchase the 2x4GB=8GB RAM upgrade now, rather than just 4GB. I've purchased several hard disk and RAM upgrades for family Macs from OtherWorldComputing, www.macsales.com. I'm not sure that www.macsales.com sells in the UK.
Macs are finicky about RAM, and you should be certain before purchase that your Apple reseller GUARANTEES it will work reliably or let you return it and get a refund. Even 'name brand' RAM that seemingly meets all the specs is not always reliable.
I'll also mention my experience with the performance of Snow Leopard. I'm still using Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 for performance reasons.
I have a mid-2007 MacBook with 4GB (3GB RAM is the maximum usable on my particular system) RAM and a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive.
When I updated to 10.6.8 on my 'temporary' drive, I found that Safari browsing was significantly slower with LOTS of beachballs, and overall system performance seemed noticeably slower, so after a week (given time for indexes to update and so on) or so I reinstalled from the Snow Leopard CD (10.6.3) and downloaded the Combo Update to 10.6.7, instead of automatically updating all the way to 10.6.8.
Hope that helps!
Finally, I'm shocked that an Apple Store would not be more helpful!

When opening a new tab, how to you define what page loads

I downloaded an application to try to "speed up" my computer. I'm usually prety good about making sure i know whats being downoaded but it downloaded yahoo something or other (toolbar i think) and now when I open a new tab in firefox it goes to yahoo. (*although when i click "home" it goes to the firefox page). any help?
also anyway to define the new tab page kinda like they do in google chrome? (kinda like a "home" screen)
thanks

You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

Determining what metadata will get specific album art from iTunes Store

How can I determine what metadata will get specific album art from the iTunes Store?
e.g., I have some tracks with correct metadata for the album "International Herb" by the band "Culture". This album is listed under the same artist & title in the iTunes Store, but getting the album art for these tracks results in an Artwork for "Culture - International Herb" could not be found warning message.
Alternatively, is there some function where I can apply the album art for the album that I am currently viewing in the iTunes Store to tracks selected in iTunes? (if this feature doesn't exist, it would be great if Apple added it)
Thanks.

I always thought it was just Artist + Album, but if the tracks are out of order or the durations are too different, it is possible that it is seeing it as a different version = no match.
It will be faster to find the image from another source (thanks web search) and just drag or paste it into the Album Info panel.

How do you Deauthorize a machine from your account

Hi all, I don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not, If I'm not then I'm sorry. How do you Deauthorize a Machine from your account, anybody know? what it is. When I set the account up to buy tracks from Itunes. I was using the same Laptop that I'm using now, Just a differnt hard drive as The old hard drive died on me. I never bought any tracks from Itunes so I didn't have any to lose. I couldn't deauthorize this laptop because I didn't know that the laptop was going to die on me. In went the new hard drive. re-installed windows xp pro & re-installed itunes 8.1 clicked on authorize this machine & it came up with 3 machines out of 5. it's the same Laptop on the account. how to I remove this laptop twice from the account is it possible cheers?, If i do remove 1 of the machines, will I lose the rights to play back the tracks that I've bought today?

You can't deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access to individually. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

How do you determine what shows are in free video on demand?

How do you determine what to include in the free on-demand shows? The Mentalist was always there before but is no longer. This is especially important for shows like the Mentalist and The Good Wife which come on Sunday nights after sports events. Even if I set my DVR to record 60 minutes over it doesn't always catch the entire episode. Would also like to see Person of Interest there. And last but not least, you should have a way for people to access netflix or other services from your service.

If you go to BROWSE then the FREE folder you will find that everything in there is free viewing. If you go elsewhere and try to watch a paid show, you will get a prompt asking you to purchase. It also shows the amount of the movie before purchase.

How can you see what the WLC ACL is denying?

How can you see what the acl on our WLC5508 is denying? The counter keeps on going up but what is getting blocked is nowhere to be seen.

You are right but you can monitor that through the hits counts on the (WLC)Security->Access crontrol list === Hits
It will give you some idea for trouble shooting also you have the cmd line for details analysis.

I upgraded my imac hard drive to a 2tb drive. how do i use time machine to get my computer back to normal?

i upgraded my imac hard drive to a 2tb drive. how do i use time machine to get my computer back to normal?

Thank you. I followed the faq#14 (using setup wizard from the osx install disk). Everything went just as planned until I woke up this morning and noticed there was no progress on the "transferring documents" meter. It stopped about 1/4 of the way. I can hear the computer working and the bar is somewhat animated like it is advancing but it's not.
Should I cancel and restart or should I wait it out? It already been about 13 hours since I started the process. Do you think it is my time machine or my iMac? Maybe the time machine file is corrupt or something.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How do you configure what is displayed in the 'quick info'?

Hi,
When you hover over a user you get a 'quick info' popup giving more details. How do you control what the quick info displays?
Windows 8.0.3 hp3 client (8.0.3 hp3 system on NW6.5sp8)
When I hover over a user I get quite a bit of info, name, email address, phone number, fax, title, department etc. But, when I hover over a resource I get only name, email address, phone number. Can I add more fields?
Linux 8.0.3 client (8.0.3 hp3 system on NW6.5sp8)
When I hover over a resource the quick info displays only the email address. Can I add more fields, eg description, some other text field?
Regards,
Paul

Hi Laura,
I can see that a resource has less information to be displayed than a user. Our users wanted to see more information on a resource (in our case meeting rooms) before booking it. The quick info is the best place to see that. Under our GW8 windows clients the 'quick info' for a resource displays 'email address' and 'office phone number'. I have added extra details to the resource's phone field under C1 and that info now appears in the quick info. But, more that half our staff use the GW Linux client and it only displays the email address in the quick info (for a resource). I am wondering why the same info is not displayed on the Linux client and if there is any client side configuration for that.
Regards,
Paul

Then, in the client, let's say that you are addressing an e-mail to that resource, you can right-click on the resource address and choose "Details". The information for the resource, including your description, are now displayed.
Don't know if that helps at all?

Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
