How to correctly configure AE to utilize external SSD and Fusion drive

OK, so I think I'm set up to succeed with the hardware I have now, but I want to make sure I'm configuring my projects and AE to utilize my setup correctly.
Specs:
iMac
32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM (8x4)
1 TB Fusion drive
3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
256 GB Thunderbolt SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M
AE CS6
So I see comments around here about separating out footage from rendered output and the cache, but I'm afraid I may need a little more handholding to be confident. With this setup, how would you configure AE and your project (in terms of disk cache location, rendered output location, and footage files location)?
Currently my footage and output are in the same folder on my Fusion drive, while my disk cache is on my external SSD.
Is there another way or additional considerations I should take into account to maximize the speed and efficiency of my AE editing?
Thank you!

There are a couple of issues in play. Read-write speeds on SSD's are MUCH faster than hard drives. SSD's don't suffer from physical wear & tear as hard drives do, either. You'll most likely see a performance increase by putting footage files & renders from AE on the SSD along with the cache.
Hence the earlier admonition about keeping the SSD cleaned off -- that baby could fill up fast after a few projects! For archiving AE projects & media files, use a hard drive, and consider the SSD as a sort of workhorse rather than a storage unit. That is, of course, until SSD's become price-competitive with hard drives. Until that pont, 256 gigs should serve you well with a little housekeeping now and then.

How do I configure the settings on my MBP and Apple TV so it will stream my Netflix movies from my MBP to the TV Screen?]

I bought a new Apple TV 3rd Gen.(which is currently updated) so I could stream the Netflix movies on my MacBook Pro Computer running Yosemite, onto my TV Screen. However, if I configure the settings on my Computer and Apple TV so that everything on my Desktop is displayed on the TV Screen, then Netflix can't even get the movie on my MBP open. It just keeps spinning until I get an error message about not being able to use Mirroring or Air Play if I want to stream my movie to the TV. So, when I switched the settings so that all mirroring and Air Play options were unchecked and selected all the streaming options using the internet. Then the Netflix movie would open up quick and easy, but there was nothing on the TV Screen.
I also was never able to Pair my Apple TV with my Bluetooth.(If they;re even supposed to be Paired, but something I read implied they should be Paired.f) My MBP Bluetooth discovered the Apple TV immediately and issued a Pairing Number to enter in the Bluethooth's setting for the Apple TV, but the Apple TV Bluetooth just kept spinning. I don't know if that is part of the problem or not, since it wasn't mentioned in any documentation I read.
Also, when I was digging for information on the browser, going to Netflix Website and Apple TV's information at apple.com, I did come across a few links while searching the browser for any answers to my questions, that said I needed to Activate my Netflix Account for streaming by finding my Apple TVs activation code and then enter it on Netflix's site in my Netflix account. And other's mentioned a registration code from my Apple TV needed to be entered to activate the "streaming" of Netflix movie content. And again, I've searched for hours and hours trying to find out where or how I could find the two codes, but never had any success. So, I have exhausted all avenues I can think of and with no luck, and I'm hoping my wonderful Apple Community can help me out or get me heading in the right direction. Thanks, RVAF

There is a native Netflix app on Apple TV. If you are attempting to use a VPN via MBP then that is not supported.

How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
Thanks!

How can I configure MA to display "speaking" OpCode and Task names

If you have a custom ETW Eventsource definition: PerfView reads and Displays from the etl files the OpCode and Task values not as integer but as defined in EventSource inner classe for Task and in the
System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventOpCode. My question is, how can I configure the MA to display the values not as "magic numbers" or can MA get this feature?
Regards,
Alexander
Kind regards, Alexander

Hi Paul,
please take a look to the attached picture. I've tried to make a comparison between automatically behavior of PerfView and Message Analyzer by displaying of the same performance log. The Message Analyzer got metadata, generated with wevtutil. The related
part of the manifest is here:
<tasks>
<task name="ReadingFromGdb" value="1"/>
<task name="LogReadPreInvoke" value="65532"/>
</tasks>
<opcodes>
</opcodes>
<keywords>
<keyword name="Perf" message="$(string.keyword_Perf)" mask="0x8"/>
<keyword name="Gdb" message="$(string.keyword_Gdb)" mask="0x10"/>
</keywords>
<events>
<event value="8" version="0" level="win:Verbose" message="$(string.event_LogGdbReadPreInvoke)" keywords="Perf Gdb" opcode="win:Start" task="ReadingFromGdb" template="LogGdbReadPreInvokeArgs"/>
</events>
<templates>
<template tid="LogGdbReadPreInvokeArgs">
<data name="fullName" inType="win:UnicodeString"/>
<data name="methodName" inType="win:UnicodeString"/>
</template>
I hope, it helps you to understand details of my questions.

How to use JCo Provider Service w/Sneak Preview and Test Drive

I have both SAP Web AS Sneak Preview (6.40) and MiniWas 6.20 Test Drive installed on a single system. I have implemented a Java server program which can be RFC called from an ABAP program using JCO.
The only disadvantage to this process is that I must manually run the server program each time I bring up the J2EE system.
I would like to set things up so that when I start the WebAS 6.40 J2EE system, the server function can be automatically registered (if I'm using the correct terminology - not at all sure about that...). It looks to me that I should be able to use JCo Provider Service to do what I want to do, but I don't know how to do any of the session bean creation and I esp. can't seem to find out how to run the J2EE Visual Administrator, which the documentation I've found leads me to believe needs to be used.
Is there a tutorial, or example, that will lead me through this entire process? I have the ABAP calling program working OK, and I have the Java JCo server program working ok - I just want to create something in Java that will operate like a good old C Language function installed as an RFM.
Can anyone help? Is it possible?

Stefan:
Well, I guess I'm stuck at the first step.
As I understand it, I have to use the Visual Administrtor to register the Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview system as an RFC destination. When I bring up the Visual Administrator, it has essentially two tabs showing: Dispatcher and Server. It's inviting me to define a connection and Login. So, Q1: Is it inviting me to login to the J2EE or the Web AS? Either way, I am never able to login - I get this error:
com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot create new RemoteLoginContext
I used all of the NetWeaver sneak preview defaults when installing, and I recorded these:
Type               Account
OS User            Compaq-laptop/J2EAdm
OS User            Compaq-laptop/SAPServiceJ2E
DB User            SAPJ2EDB
J2EE Engine User   Administrator
J2EE Engine User   Guest
Q2: Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do with the Sneak Preview system?
Or am I trying to connect and logon to the Web AS 6.20 Test Drive (I don't think so...)? I used the defaults when installing the Test Drive, and have these users:
BCUSER
DDIC
Is it one of these I should be logging onto?
Also, Visual Administrator wants a port specified on the J2EE Engine connection paramters - what port should I be specifiying?
Can you get me past this dilemma, Stefan? Thanks...

External enclosure and hard drives for mac g5 quad

I would like to add an external enclosure with two drives to my mac g5 quad. Does anyone have experience with these or do you know if this will work okay without issues?
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Maxtor/7H500F0/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEFW924AL2K/
also wondering if this enclosure has a fan or if that would be necessary...
Thx

I have the same case, only mine's the version that has PATA drives inside. It's pretty quiet and does have a fan. I've had no issues with it. It's setup with two 250GB drives striped into a RAID 0 configuration.
I personally am not a fan of Maxtor drives - I prefer the Western Digital RE2 RAID Edition. I have two of these in an external SATA enclosure.
What will you be using the drives for? You'll get better speed from the drives by putting them in an external SATA case, although this requires adding an eSATA controller card to the computer. A single WD RE2 drive is faster than my RAID 0 FW800 setup, and the FW800 setup runs pretty close to the maximum FW800 transfer speeds of about 80 MB/sec.
I'm using a FirmTek Seritek 2EN2 enclosure and their 2SE2-E PCI Express card. OWC has a bundle with these two items. Like I stated earlier, I've got two 500GB WD RE2 drives inside (drives purchased from Newegg.com where they're less expensive).
OWC also has a Mercury Elite eSATA enclosure which looks just like the FW800 one, only in black.

Using iDVD 6 with an external burner and hard drive

Last year I bought a 12" iBook which, of course, didn't come with a Superdrive. It also came with a 40 gig hard drive.
I'm down to 10 gigs but have an external drive with plenty of space on it.
I just recently bought a camcorder and due to the lack of a superdrive I've been using a very mediocre third party app on my Windows laptop to create DVDs.
I would like to use iMovie and iDVD to create my DVDs and am wondering if it is possible to daisy chain an external firewire hd and an external firewire DVD burner to accomplish this?
Alternatively, how much below 10 gigs can I go on my internal drive before I start running into virtual memory problems as some of these projects get kinda of large.

I have a setup similar to the one you are
contemplating: IBook with external LaCie DVD burner
and a LaCie external HDD connected to that.......
Note: do not burn directly from iDVD with this setup.
Instead use iDVD's "Save as Disc Image" option (File
Save as Disk image).
hope this helps
mish
I'm guessing you haven't been able to do a DL disc image either. (Assuming you've tried.)

How to correctly configure send and receive connectors for SBS2011 exchange to connect to EOP

Hello SBS fans,
we have a customer with SBS2011 and exchange. The server email is setup for Exchange Online Protection.
It passes the Remote Connectivity Analyzer for inbound and outbound email. It shows a warning for the spf, saying it cannot find the spf record, BUT MXtool box passes everything associated with their domain name, including the spf record.
They are now getting some bounced email from yahoo servers, referencing this ip
65.55.169.249, which is a valid Microsoft ip.
I checked the bounce back email header carefully, and found a reference to an internal ip, 192.168.11.14, which just happens to be the ip of the user's desk PC!! - NOT the local addr of the sbs2011 server (which should not be there anyway)
I will guess that there is an incorrect setting in one or both of the hub transports? There is a correct smart host connector.
I am no longer sure about the other connectors!
Any ideas on this?

How do I configure safari to open external links in the existing window

The current version of Safari (8.02) always opens an external link (such as from Mail) in a new tab. I would like to configure so that it loads the link in the existing open tab (window). Is there a way to do that? If so can some one tell me how to do that?

Linc: I have seen that configuration page and none of those options allows you to configure Safari so that it will load an external link in an already open tab or window. I have looked in two different reference books on OS X (Mavericks not Yosemite) and not found any relevant information in their discussions of Safari.

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much for your view on the matter!
Without going into specifics:
If we would have all 10Gbit devices, virtual and physical, what transfer rates would you expect during a normal SMB3 file copy from/to the VM from an "average/not-to-shitty"
iSCSI SAN?
Going into specifics:
- Scenario: File copy from or to the VM in priorly described environment, from or to Hyper-V Host
- VM environment: VHDX on CSV @ Equallogic 4110 SAN, 12x7200RPM SAS HDD in RAID6
- Hyper-V Host environment: Dual multipath iSCSI 10Gbit vNICs (_not_ teamed but with RSS enabled) @ Equallogic 6110, 24x15kRPM SAS HDD in RAID10
Please tell me if the above needs any further details.
Thanks!

How do i configure outlook for use with icloud and my iphone?

I am at a loss at how to configure my outlook 2007 for the best synch and use with my icloud and or iphone. Any help out there?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

How do I connect Apple TV to external speakers and my TV?

I just bought an Apple TV for my studio apartment and have it connected to my TV via HDMI, and use AirPlay to stream my music and videos. Video works great, but the my TV's internal speakers are low quality. So, I would like to have my audio come from external speakers (which I have not bought yet), for the following 2 scenarios:
Listening to music via AirPlay, preferably without having to turn my TV on.
Watching videos on my TV, with the audio coming through my external speakers rather than the TV speakers
I see my Apple TV has an Optical Audio (Toslink) port, but the salesperson at the nearby electronics store said none of their speakers have Toslink cables, only 3.5 mm (or USB). The only solution I found is an AV receiver box that has optical input but costs hundreds of dollars. I am looking for something cheaper and am willing to settle for "pretty good" sound quality.
Is there another way to get this to work?
This article recommends using a digital audio converter (DAC) to connect the Apple TV to a stereo amplifier. This seems like it would satisfy scenarios (1) and (2) above.
Also, I found this "Toslink to 3.5 mm adapter" for a few bucks; could I just plug that into my Apple TV and then connect it to any speakers (like computer speakers) with 3.5mm input?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Rex,
Since the toslink is optical, the 3.5mm adapter will not work for you as it is only ment as a conversion to a mini-toslink cable. Your first option of using the DAC, is in my opinion the best and perhaps only way to get audio out without going to a fancy amp or tuner first.
One option that I'm considering is the Bose Solo TV sound system. It might set you back about 4-Grant's, but I generally enjoy the sound of bose for most music/tv/movie purposes; and it has a direct optical audio input that you can run either from your tv or your ATV. Whatever audio you're sending to your TV via the HDMI, should go to these speakers through your HDTV's toslink output with equal digital clarity.
I've read a few other posts on the apple discussion forum which lead me to believe that the optical output of the ATV might not work so well after the 5.2 update... so whatever I do, it won't be JUST for use with the ATV.

How to restore imovie '09 projects from external HD and old HD disk image.

I moved the imovie events to an external HD (directory iMovie events) and did a fresh install of OSX (for other reasons). Now would like to restore my iMovie projects. I have an image of my hard drive from before the reinstall. Anybody got any hints? I had a number of hours of editing in on some video stuff from my wife's family. Could redo it I guess, but if I could salvage it, it would be great.

Did you move the Events to the external drive using iMovie? or using the FInder?
Let's assume you used the Finder. (If you used iMovie, the fix is simpler. Post back)
First, move the iMovie Projects from your image of your hard drive to the <your user name>/Movies/iMovie Projects folder.
Then move the iMovie Events from the external drive to the <your user name>/Movies/iMovie Events folder.
Then start up iMovie and all should be well.
