How to make a mac managed in wgm

Could anyone point me in the direction of a how to make a mac managed in workgroup manager, ive done it before, but i cant remember how to do it, all i can remember was that once the mac was managed it had a $ after it, then WGM can manage that macs preferences.
Thanks
Rob

Hi John
I think im trying to do something different, to enable WGM to control clients macs preferences, i had to add a computer to workgroup manager in accounts/computer tab, when the computer was correctly bound (or binded) it looks like my picture, with a $ at the end of it, im trying to add new computers to this list, i just cant remember how to do it, like i say i could have done it through open directory utility.

How to make a mac os x snow leopard usb recovery back up?

I bought a new hard drive so i need a mac os to use it. How do I make a recovery disk for 10.6 so i can install 10.6? All that i have to use is a friends macbook with it installed, and a 16gb flashdrive, also i have the recover disk assitant from apple. is that all i need to install it on my new hard drive?

Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
The Recovery Disk Assistant is for Lion and later. It doesn't work with Snow Leopard. If you don't have a Snow Leopard installer DVD or a Snow Leopard bootable flash drive installer, then you cannot install Snow Leopard until you get one or the other:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

How to make new Mac Pro with iWeb 08 see my existing .mac site.

About a year ago I bought a new Mac Pro. Before that I had a G4 that I had used with an older version of iWeb to create a basic website for my business. I figured with the new Mac when I opened iWeb 08 it would see my .mac settings in System prefs and automatically open it but it does not. It will only let me creat a new site, there is no way to redirect it to an existing site.
Anyone know how I do this or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

How to make a Mac use dedicated GPU in Windows

So I have this problem: when I launch games through Boot Camp on my late 2013 15 rmbp, I occasionally run into lags and frame drops in various games. The thing is, sometimes the same games run perfectly smooth with a decent frame rate, and sometimes the lags are so bad that it's almost impossible to play.
This makes me think that my Macbook is using the integrated Iris Pro gpu instead of dedicated 750m. So my question is, how can I force Windows to use dedicated graphics in games? In NVidia control panel, there's no option like Dynamic swithing.
P.S. I just reinstalled Boot Camp drivers using the WININSTALL drive, and checked NVidia website for updates

Furthermore, Boot Camp only uses the dedicated GPU because of problems related to GPU switching, so this is not the problem. Anyway, you can check which GPU Windows is using > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/video-cards-faq#1TC=windows-7
Have you checked if there is any app open while you are playing games and they do not run as smooth as you want to?

Problem after Installing Vista - Anyone know how to make it Mac by default?

Sup everyone,
I have Leopard installed on my iMac (the new one), and i installed windows Vista, but now every time i turn on my iMac, it goes straight to Vista. I want it to start on Apple by default.
How do i do that exactly(step by step)? besides having to hold the option key at start-up...
Thanxz in advance to whoever helps me solve this...

While in Mac, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk - click on Mac OS 10xxx and if you want, in the lower left of this window you can lock your selection.
Also, there is an option while in Vista, open the Boot Camp tray. I would not select either Mac or Vista there, since if you have to restart Vista after a windows upgrade, it might restart in Mac. Then to get back to Vista, you would have to shut down Mac, then use the option key to get back into windows. (This part is a little iffy since I haven't had any upgrades in Vista yet)!

1GB of RAM or more recommended
8.2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash-based storage devices)

as far as i can tell what i'm missing is the 256MB VRAM and OpenGL graphics card. is this the case? what can i do about it? thanks!

Just got the Student Version of Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection (top of the line) on this past Friday, June 11.
After a nearly 2 hour install of the Suite, many of the apps crashed or would not open, and a few worked.
Naturally, unlike Apple, there was tech support on weekends.
Starting Monday morning, I contacted Adobe tech support,( in India ) only to spend the next 4 days and nearly 12 hours on the phone ****.
Well, as many of you can well imagine, the tech support, in India, was like a Russell Peter's horror comedy, of being handed off to countless technicians, who would ask me the same questions over and over.
" I am sorry sir, Adobe will resolve your issue very soon and I apologize for any inconvenience you may be having at this time. Please hold for just one moment sir...."
One Adobe tech told me to think logically, it is very simple, and launched a 15 minute allegory about a family of 6 children, who wanted to play baseball, but each one had a different item, ball, cap, bat, knickers, etc...and then the father shows up at the baseball game, and then the grandfather shows up to the baseball game..." its very logical sir."
Fill in the accent...
Five re-installs later, the same krap, so that's when I decided to call Apple albeit do not support Adobe issues, made their best effort to help me.
Finally, I booked a Genius Bar appointment. The Genius created a guest user name, which allowed the entire Suite to work without any issues....but, I things were just the same at my normal user account, so that was interesting...
So the next day I went to the Adobe offices here in San Francisco seeking information, and they would not even let me talk to one member of the staff, if even to find a local contractor I could hire to resolve my issues...what a bunch of creeps, and not even the employees standing outside on coffee break cared, let alone had any advice...and I am sure they are all making 5 and 6 figure incomes...
So again, I booked another Genius Bar appointment ( with their permission and blessings) and after 3 hours of tweaking my computer, they managed to enable 16 of the 20 apps to work on my user account side.
They even stayed after hours to help me, while the cleaning crew began their work.
One Genius was doing some serious, serious digging and adjustments, amazing just to watch him.
So- as far as I understand, there were a few issues as such:
1. Permissions
2. p-list
3. That I had migrated my older G4 to my new iMac.
4.Other stuff as well, but I cannot remember or understand.
For me, at this juncture, one would think that a $3000 software designed specifically for Mac, would install flawlessly, and if not, would point to on line links and patches, but NO!
So again, Apple saves the day.
No wonder any one who is off sound mind chooses Apple.
Guess I will say it loud and clear: "I LOVE APPLE, AND APPLE LOVES ME !"
THANK YOU APPLE!
Feel free to pass this letter along to other frustrated persons, and that it was the 1 Stockton Apple store here in San Francisco. Thanks all.

How to make sure mac is clean from "find my mac" before buying second hand?

Hello.
I plan to buy a mac second hand.
The original owner say he removed it from icloud's and wiped it.
So from what I understand, it should be completely disconnected from his apple id, from the internal firmware safety locks, and he will not be able to accidentally (or not) to lock or remote wipe it, ever. Is this correct?
I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this.
If I enter the mac, do a new wipe and reinstall just to make sure, insert my own iCloud and apple id, and turn on the "find my mac", and I won't get a message that the mac is already in someone else's list, this means that the mac is safe and isn't on anyone's list like a father, son, daughter who accidentally linked it or something.
I know the seller is the original owner. I just want to make sure the iCloud and apple id are no longer linked to the computer. Just on the safe side.
I just don't want any issues along the way in 2-3 years from now.
Thanks.

You need to be able to see that Find My Mac is turned off. That is all you need to ensure.

How to make ES filee manager work?

Hello everyone. I used to use ES file manager to manage my files on my xperia SP. Now I had xperia Z2, but I can't use ES file manager the way I used to. I mean : if I want to move for example a picture from my internal phone memory to the External SD card , amessage pops up telling methat the task failed.
Then I press on Task Details and a Hint pops up saying: Your system forbidsES from writing on external SD card(check https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570), so ES can only write on it after rooted. I tried to enter this url but couldn't, an error occured saying :
Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/android/issues/detail from this server. That’s all we know.
I want to know if there is a way to make ES work without rooting. Thanks.

How to make my MAC run faster

My MAC is starting to run slow and I was wondering what are some ways (besides rebuild it) to make it faster? I don't have many files and programs but it is slow. I am an advanced user but I am not that good with the Linux commands etc. So if anything is command line would you please type them out.
Thanks for any help.

Thank but I think it is a little more than that. I dont have many things running. I have most closed and it is still very slow. This Laptop is only a year old. i only have two apps open but it is still slow.
Thanks

How to make one Mac the "master", and the other Macs "secondary"?

When using ISync to my DotMac account, and using three or four Macs all synching to one DotMac account, is it possible to designate one particular Mac to be the "most important" or "parent" Mac, and then all others, (laptops), be less important?
I just want the Address Book on the main machine, the G5 Desktop, to always take precedence, and never get overwritten in any way, by a less refined Address Book on a laptop traveling machine.
Thank you.

iSync (or rather .Mac Sync is what you are referring to) does not work like that.
There is no master and slave relationship in synchronising. All devices are equal and all devices sync their data to all other devices equally. That is what true synchronising is.
What you are proposing is not synchronising - it is a simple copy and replace operation from one source, and the SyncServices framework is not designed for that.
The whole point of synchronising is to get away from having a Master data source. You can change data on ANY device (Mac, phone or PDA) and the changes will be synced to all other devices.

How to make Firefox (Mac) not go back a page upon pressing the Cmd+Left-Combination which should set the text cursor to the beginning of a line in input fields instead of leaving the page?

On a Mac, Cmd+Left places the text cursor to the beginning of the line, Cmd+Right to the end of the line.
FireFox however goes back resp. forward a page in hinstory, which is ''most annoying'', since it very often causes me to accidentally leave a still unsubmitted form and loose all input!
I did not find any possibility to get rid of these dreadful keybindings.

Thanks for your response.
I guess I didn't revert to as far back as the change I had made because when I follow your instructions, no entries are bold.
Or did you perhaps mean the next time the problem occurs I should look for a bold entry? And then change it back to what it was? (All that I recall from a year ago was that I changed one entry from ''true'' to ''false'', or vice versa.)

For CUA, how to make effecient IDOC management.

Hi,
We are using CUA that connected to about 100 child systems. Right now CUA system is configured in such a way that for a perticular user who has access for 40 child systems if his profile updated only for one system it generates IDOC for all 40 systems insted of for that perticular system. Is there any way we can reconfigure the system so that it can generate IDOC only for that perticular system whose profile changed. I will apreciate if anyone tell me reference document/book for this information.
Thanks,
Yashwin

From my point of view there is nothing to worry about as long as iDOC management (any problem contact BASIS ) is functioning well.
As per CUA concept, when ever the roles/profiles for child systems is saved for user in CUA, the user buffer refreshes in CUA as well as child systems via iDOCS and updates the changes if any.
I would suggest to split the CUA with each CUA for Prod, QA and Dev. I am sure this will reduce iDOC management workload.
Please feel free to opine.

How to make GNOME power management auto scale cpu frequency?

Hello everyone, I installed Archlinux on my new Toshiba U400/H00, everything works nicely, however, I need to manually scale cpu frequency when on AC/Battery, is there a way to make Gnome automatically scale it?
Thanks a lot!

Maybe just go down to acpid level and do it independently of DE devs idiosyncrasies?
For me, the following code in /etc/acpi/handler.sh does the job:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
ACAD)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
00000001)
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 499 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
I believe the original code there tried to set fixed clockspeeds for these situations, but I find changing governor much more flexible.
Edit: there were some ACPI-related bugs during 2.6.26-27 development cycle, it may happen that you won't get any ACPI events playing with power source. 2.6.28 cured all ACPI problems for me, but YMMV.

While using mac as wireless router ; How to make Mac sleep?

Hi all.
I set up my macbook to act as a wireless router [sharing it's wireless signal, via the "Sharing" settings in System Preferences]
using this guide
http://www.macinstruct.com/node/118
I am wondering how to make my mac sleep while this wireless-sharing setting is enabled?
Since I have enabled this setting, the mac will not sleep, however, the mac will sleep when I disable it.
I am also wondering ; [if it is possible to make the mac sleep while this setting is enabled], can I still use the mac as a wireless router even while it is asleep?
Or does it need to be awake to function as a router?
Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Thank you very much everybody for your answers.

Yes, I kind of thought what you are saying would be the case.
It makes "sense" that when the computer is asleep, so are all it's functions,
but I *WISH* there was an option to keep the airport functioning even while the computer is asleep.
Bob, I don't think having the OPTION to leave the airport on while mac sleeps would defeat the power-saving feature of the computer (:
I know the "best" way to share wifi is with a router, but for me, a router just another piece of plastic I don't need. All I need to do is share wifi in a small space [my room] from my mac to my iPad and ipod touch.
I like to use my ipad as a reader, and when I am reading, I may be sitting down for many hours just reading from the ipad. It doesn't make sense to leave the mac running during these long periods just for a wireless signal, so I may sadly buy a router ):
Anyway, I get what you are all saying, and thank you for telling me the current limits of this function.
Cheers! (:
