How to place User folders on another HD than the system?

Sorry for this perhaps ignorant question: I am contemplating to get a Mac Pro with two disks. Having heard about speed gains, I am thinking of having the system and applications on one HD and all the users' stuff (folders) on the second. In this respect I have two questions:
1) do you think this might really help with access speed?
2) how would I make the system to place the users' folders on the second disk?
Thanks...

Leave a "/Users" on the boot drive. Some applications don't like there not being one, even though technically having a symbolic link pointing to another drive should work.
having your home directory on another drive is easy to accomplish by changing one entry in NetInfo Manager (in /Utilities).
Find "Users" and click on there and then your own 'short name.' Down below will be "Path" entry as /Users/short-name
Change that to be /Volumes/vol-name-2/Users/short-name
where "vol-name-2" is actual name of the other drive or volume.
I would use some software to copy /Users to the 2nd drive, or create a folder there and copy. And copy your media and data files.
Might want to leave a small basic home folder /Library just to have one with prefs and such if needed. And always have backups.
There are a number of sites and books (David Pogue's Missing Manual covers it in less than two pages).
Gains are two forms. Free up space on boot drive. the system can access two or more drives concurrently without any contention over access or seeks.
I've always had my home directory on a RAID in this manner (since 5 yrs ago or more when Mike Bombich first mentioned and showed how to do so form the command line).

Why can I not place backup folders in another folder on the same hard drive.

Why can I not move the backup contents of a customer into another folder on the same hard drive without it copiying the information over imediately instead of taking hours and having to use password!!!

Because the backups are not "owned" by you, so you can't just move them.
Also, I don't imagine Time Machine will be able to find them if you just move them.
Take a look at Pondini's Time Machine FAQ #18: http://www.pondini.org/TM/18.html

How to maintain itunes on a drive other than the system drive

I would like to have itunes on a drive other than the Windows 7 operating system drive, and have it stay there.
Never mind...I found a post which applies.

Hi Maciejhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Maciej%20Przepi%C3%B3ra
Thanks for your inputs.
I have memory leaks in my code. I have tried iDialog->Release() code which reduces some of the memory leaks
Though I want to use more clean method of InterfacePtr.
"To prevent reference counts from incrementing, as in Type 1a and 1b, use this constructor, which does not call IPMUnknown::AddRef:"
Which Constructor you are pointing out, I didn't get it.
I tried InterfacePtr<IDialog> iDialog((IDialog *)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_IDIALOG));
It started giving me assert again.
Please give an example how to do it or which InterfacePtr constructor doesn't call AddRef().
Many thanks for helping me with this.

I want to buy a MBP with retina display, can I get the keyboard in another language than the ones listed?

I would like to buy my new mac in the states, but want the keyboard to be in another language than the ones listed (english, french, spanish and japanese). Is this possible if I contact them?
Btw, I know that you can change the language in settings, but I want the physical other keyboard, not to just change it on the mac!

EmilyVictoria wrote:
hopefully they can do the same at the apple store Thank you!
I think they can from a physical retail store, but you should ask them directly. Normally the kinds of keyboards available via special order should be those shown at the site below, but I have heard that some probably are only available outside the US.

Initial character in another fontface than the text beside it?

I want an initial character thats to be in another typeface than the rest of the text beside it. However if I change the initial character (the larger initial) the rest of the text follows and if I change back the text to the way its suppose to be the initial character changes to be to the rest of the text.
What do I do to make the initial character in one typeface and the text beside it in another typeface and without these interferring with each other?

One thread from you on this subject should be sufficient, so I'm going to lock this one. Please continue in your first thread, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4086349
Everything you are trying to do can be handled by the use of a Character Style applied to the first character.

How to subscribe users folders

Hi,
I have got a problem trying to subscribe users folders.
Here is my case.
I migrate from Netscape sun messaging server to JES2005Q1.
I transfert mailboxes from the old server to the new one.
I d'like to subscribe all user to their folder, so that they are not affected by migration.
To do so I use
mboxutil -l > mboxlist
I extracted a list of all folders and for each login I created login.sub in each mailbox
Here is an example of store.sub for rbaud user :
user/rbaud
user/rbaud/Exemple
user/rbaud/Sent
user/rbaud/Trash
user/rbaud/r�ponse
user/rbaud/test
Then I reconstruct -r -f and every thing was right except for "r�ponse" folder because of accent.
Some users complain about diseaperance of all folders with accent.
Trying to fix the case I notice that I should have encode folders name like :
r&AOk-ponse
It looks like utf7-imap encoding
So my question is :
Is there a command to subscribe any folder for every users
Or how can I translate "r�ponse" in "r&AOk-ponse"
I hope my explanation was clear enough.
Thanks for your help.

You 're right, my users used the "subscribe" function
in their mail clients, for folders with accent.
But I will have to do other migrations and I was
asked to find a solution so that users need not to
subscribe their folders after migration.
I used "rsync" to download
old_server/.../primary/=user/* in new
server/.../primary/=user/Right. You missed the mboxlist directory. You should include that in your migration. Subscriptions and such are stored there.
Simply moving the partitions over isn't sufficient. You can recover much of the data with
reconstruct -m
reconstruct -r
but that doesn't get it all. Moving the mboxlist database is important....
>
There is no store.sub in their mailboxes. So I tried
to build them, before creating databases with
reconstruct -r -f
relinker
start-msgOk, that's not quite the correct process.
First, the store process MUST be running whenever you do any reconstruct.
Second, you needed to run reconstruct -m FIRST, before the reconstruct -r, as the database had no entries for any folders.
>
You said "When I did this same migration, all my
subscriptions came along with the mail", but how did
you do without store.sub in mailboxes ? Easily.
There are SUPPORTED methods, unlike the one you chose.
imsbackup/imsrestore is the route I elected to take. That gets everything.
MoveUser is another route that works well. Again, it gets everytihngs.
If you had taken the database, too, you likely would have had no problem.
If you had run reconstruct -m first, likely you would have had no problem.

Thanks Jay.

How to place one column under another column in obiee report?

Hi all,
I am new to obiee, so need some help from obiee experts. Can anyone tell me how to place one column data under another column in obiee report?
i need the report to be as below
category total_students Course_enrollment Test_attended pass_test
total N % N % N %
all students ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Ethnicity
Asian ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
African American ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
white ######
Filipino ######
Gender
Male ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Female ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
and similarly for other columns
where ethnicity, gender are columns in the table and Course_enrollment, Test_attended, pass_test are calculated columns.
Please help me to create a report as above if anyone knows how to do it.
Edited by: Shailaja on Jul 19, 2010 12:23 AM

Two ideas I can think of:
1) Create multiple pivot tables and then display them one under the other
2) Create multiple measure columns such as "male_amt", "female_amt", "white_amt", "asian_amt", "black_amt", etc. for all the columns you need. Then you could simple stack them in a single pivot table.
Option #2 might give you the prettiest results - but also requires a lot more maintenance (for instance, if you reclassify ethnic groups, you'd have to go through the reports to add additional metric columns).
Hope this helps,
Scott

How to Setup User Folders Automatically when the user is being created

Hi All
I am setting up a new Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition with Full/GUI install.
Q.1. Is there a way to create User Folders on Data Drive (D: Drive - OS is installed on C) automatically as I create Users?
Q.2. Additionally can these folders be assigned appropriate permissions automatically?
Q.3.What is the best approach If appropirate permissions are not assigned automatically. I have drive D: as a share with Full permissions to all. Is there a better way.
Thanks
Respectfully
Jamal

Hi,
Not sure you mean local computers or domain environment. In domain, we can create folder redirection GPO.
With this policy we can redirect folder to a shared folder or another local drive.

How to change user id to another user id

Is it possible to change the user id to another user id and password? That is another person will be in charge of the Adobe Send instead of me.

You can change the non-Apple email address which forms your Appe ID and thus iCloud login at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then on 'Edit' next to the ID address.
Once done you will need to sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud on all your devices and then back in again.

HT201184 What does this mean? How do I fix it? "Another device on the Network is using your computer IP address (then it gives current IP address)"

"Another device on the Network is using your computer IP address" is plaguing me. What can I do to correct this? It seems to come on after it has been inactive for some time.

Hi Delores,
What Encrytion does your Router/Modem use?
This might mean your Mac is set to a Static/Manual IP instead of using DHCP to request an IP, or another device is starting up with a Static IP & kicking your Mac off the Router.
If this is Wifi/Airport with little or no encryption,it could be somebody outside causing it.

How to create a map that is larger than the game in width and height?

hi,
i wounder how i can create a map(not the design) that is larger than the game in width and height, part of it will appear in the main page and anther part you can move to it after you press the arrow symbol, but the map is just one image so i want put it in line and out line the game page, and the out line part includes buttons and symbols the player can use, but it will be in line and the other part will be out line when you press the left arrow or the down arrow, how i can do that?
and is that possible to animate it so when the player press the arrow, will give it action to start the animation in one sec, i know how to animate it if that possible but i don't know which code i will use for the mouse click with the arrow symbol, and how to use the same code in the same symbol to start anther animation depending on which part of the map is on?

I don't know a lot about mask and masked layers and how to work with the normal layers beside i will use some 3D graphics but not in the background, i will explain all this to you to be more clearly.
first i am using action script 3.0
close ex,
you have 2d map"image" 900*300 pixel.
this image contains some 2d symbols when you click will go to anther normal map (anther normal layer) so they must appear.
your game 320*320 px, and the place the map will show on 300*300, and there's basics objects will be in most pages including the page that show the map so i don't know a lot about how this will work with mask layers.
so you can only see the left side of the map image and what it contains, while there's two arrows one to the left and one to the right there's three cases here,
first when it show the left side(start from x:0 to x:300), the left arrow will not active when you press and the right arrow will start an animation that make the map image move to the mid side in one sec when you press.
in mid side (start from x:301 to x:600) the same left arrow will active when you press to send you back to the left side while the same right arrow will be active to send you not to the mid side but to the right side,
when moved to the right side the same left arrow will be active to send you to the mid and the right will not active when you press and depending on that,
first how to make the large image appear with the three sides in the same place without effecting the other objects "like disappearing them" ?
and the codes i need in the same left or right arrow symbol to make different actions with the same symbol when clicked depending on which part of the map is on.

User is not logged on, but the system thinks it did!

Hi,
We're having a problem with one user. When you try to log on with his userid and password, this notification screan comes up: You have already logged in. Do you want to logout and login to a different Organization? "YES" "NO"
Trying again, doesn't work.
When you watch the logged on sessions with the admin console, you will see that there is a session with the user and that he is indeed logged on!
BUT this is not how it is for real, cause he is NOT logged on, doesn't get further then this notification screen!!
Someone knwos what's wrong? We still have to try to restart everything, but it's a production system so we'll have to wait till nobody is logged on :-S
Thanks!
Greetz,
Miranda

- it is possible to terminate the session and the user is logged of (also get's the message)
- when the users answers no (to log of and log in to a new organization) you stay at the same screen notification
and the admin console shows the user as logged on
- when the users answers yes (to log of and log in to a new organization) it get's the logon screen (default logon screen)
and the admin console shows the user as logged off
- when i inactivate the user and it is logged on, it get's after trying to logon new this message: This user is not active.
Contact your system administrator, but it stays logged on .. shows the admin console
- i also can delete the user from the organization (after one time logged on it has a profile under the users from the logged on organization)
