How to mount a NFS that filename will forces to lowercase

Hi all,
How can I mount an NFS that filename will appear as lower case?
The NFS used stores filename in upper case while application porgram run on Sun Solaris only accept lowercase filename. now I'm getting trouble in upper/lower case file name.
All nightmare begins in a product named "Snap! Server" . This server claims compatible with Microsoft Windows NT server, Novell Netware server, Apple Share Server, UNIX NFS server and WWW server. In my case, I used it as a Novell Netware and UNIX NFS.
The Snap Server is considered to replace my old Novell Netware Server, with can exports it volume as NFS, such that Solaris machine can mount it. Files are required to import/export form Dos/Windows client and process in Solaris via Novell. And the Snap! server will be a bridge between DOS/Windows client and Solars workstation since it can as Netware Server and NFS as the same time.
It works well in both Novell Netware and NFS well, but ...
When I trying to write a file from DOS client and read it in Solaris, the filename appears as UPPERCASE! The old Novell store filename in 8.3 upper case and the NFS module can convert filename into lowercase. While Snap! considers as NFS, it exports filename as uppercase ( I just simpley use command "mount server_name:/export_volume /mount_point") I'm now seeking solution that, after Solaris mount this server, filename will be seen as lowecase all the time, without user involve.( I have no case-sensitive problem in my case). When I ask my vendor, he said he never met such case before! The OS version is Solaris 2.5.1.
If anyone know how to made it, please send me a e-mail.

Answer for NFS who forces lowercase filenames:
You can mount that filesystem as a PCFS type filesys. You can then use
the mount option foldcase to force an uppercase file to be seen as a lowercase file. And that's about all. If you have any questions you can mail me at:

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

And to directly answer your question, you don’t inform Adobe, you merely deactivate PS, reimage, then reinstall and reactivate PS with the serial number(s), and relicense LR with the serial number(s).
If this computer isn’t yours and you don’t have the serial numbers, yourself, then that could be a problem, although there may be software that can find the serial numbers. On a PC platform, download and run the Belarc Security Advisor and see if it finds the serial numbers you need. It’ll only find the current product serial numbers, not the prior versions that an upgrade might be based on, so then you’ll be stuck.

How to set the font that SuperNova will show the text correctly

I have a problem with the use of Firefox with Supernova. Supernova is a program for visual handicaped people which allows you to enlarge the desktop. When you visit the page
http://www.raadvanstate.nl/uitspraken/zoeken-in-uitspraken/tekst-uitspraak.html?id=73735&summary_only=
you will see some orange colored text in the main text block. This is shown correctly. However when I enlarge the screen with Supernova this orange text is barely readable due to the fact that the letters seems to built of dots instead of a smooth line.
Note that that even happens with this page where I enter these details of the questions. When Supernove enlarges rhe screen, the texts outside the textbox are horrible while the text in this textbox is good.
I ask this question here because when I use Internet Explorer this problem does not occur.
I've tried to make a screenprint, but the screenprint functionality doesn't "see" that the screen is enlarged. So when I zoom to 100% with Supernova, the text in the screenshot seems to be okay.
I realise that this is a difficult issue to reproduce but any help is welcome. Note that enlarging the font with the Firefox options is not a real option for me. Supernova enlarges the complete screen, not only the text on the webpage. This way I'm also able to see the menu's / bookmarks of Firefox itself.
Thank, you very much,
Hans

Thank, you very much. The hardware acceleration caused the problem.

How to compile PHP so that it will talk to Oracle 8i

We have a server with Oracle 8.1.7 database, Solaris os.
We installed a 8.1.7 client on another machine that we want to compile PHP. How do we compile PHP so that it would talk to the 8.1.7 database through the 8.1.7 client that we installed on the same machine where we installed PHP. Thank you.

The trick is actually in configuring the 10g client to talk to the 8i server. Just set up a tnsname and it should work, or you could use easyconnect:

How can a mount a NFS share exported from OpenBSD?

Hello Apple Discussions:
I've been experimenting with NFS in a mixed OS environment, and have been successful exporting nfs share with tigerserver, and mounting it on both a powerpc linux system, and on a powerpc openBSD system.
Likewise, I can export a NFS share from the linux powerpc box, and mount it on the openBSD box and on the tigerserver, although, the latter required using the options (ro,sync,insecure) in my exports file.
However, when I export a share on the OpenBSD box, I can mount it on the linux box, but not on tigerserver.
I would like for the OpenBSD box to export a NFS share securely, with read-write permissions, to the tigerserver.
After reading so many tutorials, that it would be a page of links, just to list them all, I am pulling my hair out. However, I have found one thread that suggests, that perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible:
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=54308
Here it is suggested that the NFS won't work because tigerserver is not using UTF-8?
I will have to say, that I was somewhat alarmed, that the only times I succeeded in mounting an nfs share exported from linux onto tigerserver, it was when the "insecure" option is used in the /etc/exports file. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for the linux style exports option "insecure", in the bsd style options of --maproot=user:group1:group2.
But I don't like using any options that say "insecure" anyways, so rather than trying to find out how to make openbsd "insecure", I would rather like to find out if there is a way to get tigerserver using UTF-8, at least when mounting NFS shares, if this is indeed the issue.
Here are the more technical details. I've created a user on all sytems named "fives" with the userid of 5555 and the groupid of 5555. I made the user local user in the local net info domain, but I've tried it with an LDAP user as well. The folders I wish to export and the folders into which to mount them are all owned by user fives and group fives, and have permissions set to 0775. The ip addresses are OpenBSD=192.168.222.111 TigerServer=192.168.222.233 LinuxPPC=192.168.222.253. I've included the relevant NFS setup files and running processes below:
ON THE OPENBSD BOX:
#/etc/exports
/fives -alldirs -network=192.168.222.0 -mask=255.255.255.0
/exports/fives -mapall=fives:fives 192.168.222.233 192.168.222.253
#/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
#/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.222.233 192.168.222.253
#/etc/rc.conf.local
portmap=YES
lockd=YES
nfs_server=YES
#here's proof that the daemons are running on the OpenBSD box;
rpcinfo -p localhost
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper

100021 3 udp 895 nlockmgr
100021 1 tcp 706 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 706 nlockmgr
# actually, I don't see statd, but haven't found the equivalent in openbsd. There's rpc.rstatd, and maybe it should be listed here, but there doesn't seem to be a way to launch it directly. This is a competitor with the UTF-8 theory about why it's not working.
ON THE TIGER SERVER:
# here's proof that tiger server sees the mounts:
showmount -e 192.168.222.111
Exports list on 192.168.222.111:
/fives 192.168.222.0
/exports/fives 192.168.222.233 192.168.222.253
# here's the result of user fives' attempt at mounting a share:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.222.111:/exports/fives /imports/fives
mount_nfs: /imports/fives: Permission denied
# yet user fives has no problem mounting same share on linuxppc box.
What is different about OSX server? I thought it was supposed to speak NFS?
---argh... I'm steppin out for a pint.. Hopefully when I'm back it'll just work.

One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
There is an Apple help article on multiple users.

How to mount NFS into a zone or how to use the same IP in every zone?

Hi,
we are using a NFS server in a different subnet (= different network interface; nxge1) than our 'normal' network (= nxge0).
Now I want to mount serveral NFS directories into our zones.
First I thought the follwoing is possible:
In the global zone I just mount the filesystem into its place:
mount 10.11.3.1:/vol/vol_nfs_zones/zoneNNN_mnt /zones/zoneNNN/root/mnt
When the zone is halted this mount works, but when I start the zone, I receive the error:
# zoneadm -z zoneNNN boot
zoneadm: zone 'zoneNNN': These file-systems are mounted on subdirectories of /zones/zoneNNN/root:
zoneadm: zone 'zoneNNN': /zones/zoneNNN/root/mnt
zoneadm: zone 'zoneNNN': call to zoneadmd failed
When zoneNNN is already running and I try to mount it, I receive
nfs mount: mount: /zones/zoneNNN/root/mnt: Device busy
So the question is: How do I mount something in the gloabl zone from a NFS server into a zone?
The only alternative I see is to make the interface nxge1 available in every zone and give each an own IP in our storage network... But sadly this isn't an alternative because we don't have so many free IPs in that net! (Or is there a trick to use the same IP in the global and non-global zones for only this interface??)
Does anyone have a solution for our problem? I cannot believe that SUN misses this!
Any hints are more than welcome!

Mounting it by NFS in the global zone and trying to add this by the "add fs" and "type=lofs"-option yields to an error, when installing the zone:
cannot verify fs /data: NFS mounted file-system.
A local file-system must be used.
zoneadm: zone zoneNNN failed to verifyOur storage network is not accessable from other nets. (And I think it is a very bad idea to route storage network traffic...)
So I think we def. have to increase our storage network. :-(

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

How to set up recordings of audio and video so that they will sync

I'm editing footage of a dance concert that used CDs for some of the dances and a live pianist for the remainder. In addition to the audio captured by the camera, I have all the CDs that were used and an additional audio recording of the piano that sounds much better than what was captured by the camera. I would like to use to mix the audio from the camera with the audio from the CDs and the additional recording of the piano, but the sources won't sync properly, since the camera, the CD player, and the audio recorder all run at slightly different speeds. For example, if I zoom in and line up the CD audio with the camera audio at the beginning of a song that lasts 3:21, at the end of the song the CD audio is late by about 11 frames. That's enough that I can't use the camera audio as ambient sound, and enough that the dancers are noticeably ahead of the music (by 11 frames).
I know I could time-correct my sources so that they will sync, but I'm wondering how to avoid this problem in the future.
Thanks,
John Link

John,
On most professional recording or editing environments we try to run a sync signal to all the devices. Many of the audio recorders out there are not equipped to accept or send sync. For that matter, neither are the consumer and prosumer cameras. That's one of the many things dividing pro from non-pro.
Wild sync , just running at a true and constant speed, is a lot easier now than " in the day." but one still sees issues like you have when not running sync between devices.

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library
