HP Designjet 130, Dlink DNS 323 and OS X-can it be done?

I'm trying to use a D-Link DNS 323 to share my 130 with my MacBook Pro and PC. The PC setup was easy, but whenever I try to add the Samba shared printer in OS X (10.4.8), it shows "Kind" as Local System V Printer, which doesn't give me any control over paper, color, etc. Basically useless for my needs.
I've been having to manually find the driver since OS X won't display the 130 in it's printer list, so it's possible I'm pointing it to the wrong driver file, but I can't seem to figure out where I should point it to.
The printer does not appear to be supported by GIMP print or any of the other free drivers, so I fear I may be up a creek here.
Any ideas? I really don't want to invest in a JetDirect card at this point...

The DesignJet 130 is supported by www.printfab.net.
Unfortunately not free.

    I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes.  Can that be done?  I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod.  Help!

    You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you.  One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
    Here is one such product.

  • I have iTunes on 2 PC's. Somehow I wound up with 2 Apple ID's. I would like to combine the music and apps under one ID so that I can synch with my iPhone 4 and iPad. Can this be done?

    I had a WIndows XP desktop and Laptop. Each had iTunes installed. When moving from iPhone 3 to 4, I acquied a second Apple ID. I want to migrate all of my playlists, downladed songs, podcasts and apps to my new sesktop (HP 64-bit, WIndows 7) and make that my headquarters for iPhone and iPad 1. Is it even possible to combine my media and get it together on my hand-elds? If yes, please enlighten. Thanks in advance.

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

  • Time Capsule, Airtunes, and Apple TV - can it be done?

    Hi,
    Long-time lurker, second-time poster!
    Here's my situation:
    I have a huge amount of music (all Apple Lossless, so it takes up loads of space) spread over a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop.
    I'd like to move everything to a Time Capsule acting as a network drive (so it's all in one place and to free up HD space on my laptops), then put the Time Capsule through my AirPort Express into my music system. From what I've read, this seems to be possible, but still means having to have a laptop switched on to navigate my library in iTunes.
    Is there some way to use the Time Capsule/Airtunes solution with Apple TV, so I can browse my music collection on the telly and then play it through my stereo, without needing to use a laptop?
    I don't use iTunes for video - only music - so hopefully that will make things simpler....
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Imagine the combined unit with synchronised audio/video streaming to an external sound system - even the wireless iPod touch could join the party with Apple TV as the central digital hub. A product like this would be as big a revolution as the iPod itself! Price tag, i'd pay up to £500 for such a device - what do you reckon?
    At home I'm using an Epson HD projector instead of a Hi-Def TV. All that's missing is wireless, synchronised audio (to the AEX which connects by optical cable to my Apple Hi-Fi, remember those?). The TV here is my old G4 iMac and EyeTV. Elgato disappoints though, they still haven't enabled MPEG-4 HD as we're using in Europe and elsewhere. I just love the swivel screens of the old iMacs, so convenient. Unfortunately I have way too much digital material to fit on an Apple TV so I'm not buying one until the hard disk space increases, then I'll shift all the content from the G5 onto AppleTV and couple it with a 1TB Time Capsule. That's the plan at least

  • Quick and Dirty Calculator - Can It Be Done?

    I'm making a calculator. I've looked into my options, stacks, postfix, or just using someone else's class. But one idea struck me as more interesting than the others, but while I've programmed plenty, I by no means consider myself a veteran, and I need a little help from you guys and gals.
    Is there any way to use Java's own expression evaluator in making a calculator?
    I imagine this would be possible by creating a new File by the name of TemporaryClass.java, and having the program write the expression in class form in TemporaryClass.java, for example...
    class TemporaryClass
       public TemporaryClass(){
          double x = /* Program writes expression here */ ;
          /* Something class writes x to xValue.dat */
    }... and then I would have my main program read in the number printed in xValue.dat, and then it's all Double.parseDouble() from there.
    But that's too much of a pain. Is there any simpler way to have java do the work for me, without forcing me to dissect an expression myself?
    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    i wrote a program similar to this once
    you would give it a mathematical expresion in the form of a String (i.e. "3 + 4 * 3") and it would give you an answer
    i couldn't find a way to do it so i had to write my own program that would break apart the string and convert it into a mathematical expresion. i did this by using the order of operations (parenthesis, ^, *and/, +and-). i would search for each of the operators in the string using the indexOf(char) method. when i found the appropriate operator i would find the two numbers that were on either side of it, and convert them into doubles using the Double.parseDouble(String method) i would than apply the operator to the two numbers and reconstruct the string with the appropriate answer. i would repeat this using all of the operators until there were no more operators left and than i would call Double.parseDouble(String) one last time to give me a final double answer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Blurring out MULTIPLE and moving faces-Can this be done?

    Hi-
    I need to work on a project that will entail blurring out the faces of a few people running in and out of a room. So it's the nightmare of multiple moving faces!!!
    Any ideas?
    Oh, and the sequence is about 45 minutes long!!!!!

    What's wrong with Andy's region Blur, Dina?
    The answer is yes, you can mask and blur faces in Motion, however you don't want to create a 45 minute project in Motion - that's not what it's good at. It's made for short segments...

  • 1 AExtreme, 7AExpress, and 200 yards: Can it be done via WDS?

    I've got 1 AExtreme, and 7 AExpress'. Can someone please tell me how to set this up via WDS? I need to access a hard drive on an existing WiFi Network A and want to daisy-chain the AExpress' into the range of my WiFi Network B 200 yards away. Should six AExpress' be "relay" and the last be "remote"?
    Please advise.

    Your wireless bandwidth is going to suffer immensely. EACH WDS link cuts the available wireless bandwidth in half.
    6 WDS links is going to cut your available wireless bandwidth to 1/64 (1/21/2*1/2*1/2*1/21/2).

  • Os 9.1 and installing  it on 1book g4 and imac g4, can it be done

    been reading this old thread and think i have a "new" question. I'm going to be buying my wife a used g4 ibook that supports uprading to leapord. Tiger is on it now I think. I have a os 9.1 disk and would like to install it on her computer. She has a few programs she still needs to run in 9. But I'm confused about this classic mode, well I mean I know that under her old imac there was a classic program. Do I need to find this classic ox9 program to run these other programs. Hope I'm make any sense. Basically I have the os 9.1 disc and would love to just be able to install it. Not boot up into it but how does it boot up into classic? Where do I buy such a beast. If anyone can understand my ramblings and give me an answer either way I thank you and applaud you.

    Additionally:
    1. Macs which shipped as new release prior to January 2003 could either boot into Mac OS 9, or use Classic. The only exception to the date was PowerMac G4 MDD 1 to 1.25 Ghz without Firewire 800, which some of them shipped new after that date. Of course if a model was not yet replaced with a newer release that had been released in 2002, it will still follow these rules.
    2. Macs later than January 2003 through December 2005 could all only use Classic which was the Mac OS X environment that supported most Mac OS 9
    compatible applications, but few of their drivers.
    3. Intel Macs which started shipping January 2006 and later can't boot 9 or use Classic.
    4. Macs which have been upgraded to 10.5 or later can't use Classic at all unless a second partition/hard drive has 10.4.11 or earlier installed. But if they still supported dual-booting before, still would dual boot from 10.5.
    Classic is enabled by going to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic.
    Booting into Mac OS 9 is enabled by going into Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk and selecting the Mac OS 9 System folder.
    If no Mac OS 9.1 or later System Folder is installed, Classic won't run.

  • ITunes Server with D-Link DNS-323 NAS - not showing up in Shared list

    Hi
    I bought a DNS-323 to hold all my music. I am trying to get it working with iTunes.
    I have enabled the iTunes Server function on the DNS-323, selecting which folder I want to use for music, and have allowed the device to 'refresh'. It then tells me it should appear in iTunes.
    I have installed iTunes 10.2.1.1, but under Sharing, the only option that appears is Home Share. The DNS-323 does not appear in the list.
    I have tried rebooting the NAS to no effect.
    I've searched a lot on the subject and have seen that iTunes 10 causes issues with iTunes Server on a NAS device, but many people were saying that 10.1 fixes it. However, the threads then seem to go dead with no definitive answer.
    Can anyone tell me where iTunes Server is still supported in 10.2.1.1, and if so if there are any suggestions on how to get the device to show up? ALL I get is the Home Sharing option under the Shared heading in iTunes. I tried iTunes 9.2.1 but had the same issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    Hey Travis, mine only worked when I pointed to a folder with all music files: mp3, m4a...  (all separated by artists folders)
    After that, I could see my DNS 323 but I couldn't drag any songs to any playlists.  I could also see some playlists on my DNS 323 but I couldn't modify them or add any. 
    I lost 3 days trying everithing but nothing worked.  In the end, I clicked on the itunes "File" menu (Top left) and selected "Add folder to library" and I selected the folder with all my music.  It must have taken 10 hours to import all the songs.  It took me around 1:30 hours to rename over 300 songs (out of 1700) because they weren't properly named.  They were all at the bottom of the list.
    On my second computer, I cheated because I clicked on "Edit" in iTunes and selected "Preferences".  On the "Advanced" tab, I changes the ITunes Media Folder Location and pointed to the one I created with the first computer.  The music appeared (I didn't have to rename 300 songs again) and the playlists I had created were also there.  This way, I only manage one computer and it should chage the other one.
    I'm not sure what will happen when I add new songs but I had selected the music folder on the first computer so I hope they are added automatically.  I think I might have to go back to the DNS 323 and do a refresh on the iTunes server to see new songs but I haven't tried it yet.
    Hope it helps,

  • Non-Time Capsule network hard drive as Time Machine drive? (D-Link DNS-323)

    I'm considering burying a D-Link DNS-323 and plopping a few internal HDs into it to use it as a networked Time Machine backup system.
    As far as I've been able to tell, the D-Link DNS-323 will format the hard drives as EXT2, not GUID. Will I still be able to use it as a Time Machine backup drive? Has anyone gotten this setup to work?
    Thanks for any and all advice!

    his article describes how to get TM work with NAS units (ReadyNAS) - I am currently running this configuration and it works like a charm on wireless. Highly recommended - you just have to modify parts of it for other makes of NAS but on the Mac side you should be fine.
    Follow the instructions carefully - it's easy to get ahead of yourself.

    Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS
    April 20, 2008 by yoh-dah
    Filed under Mac Corner
    Leave a Comment
    The following is a summary of how to make Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS by DavidB based on initial contribution by btaroli and refinements by sirozha and a host of others on the ReadyNAS Mac/OSX Forum. We are thankful of the Mac enthusiasts who frequent and contribute to the ReadyNAS forum.
    Ok I’ve just converted a second machine to use the NAS for networked Time Machine backups, and this time things went straight through without any mistakes. Here’s the run-down:
    This example was done using a Mac Mini with a hostname of “magpie”, running OS X 10.5.2 and connected via 802.11g to a ReadyNAS NV+ (RAIDiator 4.01c1-p1 http://1.00a041 with AFP patch loaded). I’ve created separate AFP shares for each machine (”TMmagpie” in this case) and set them to be accessible just to the “owner” of the machine. I could have set up one share to contain Time Machine backups for all clients, but then it could be possible for a user to access someone else’s private data within the backups.
    Do make sure to keep the hostname simple — i.e. don’t have quotes in it like “Maggie’s Mac”, or the process will fail.
    With the share set up on the NAS already, everything else we do is local to the client (magpie in this case). Some of the commands I list here are run within Terminal.app, although there are alternate (GUI) ways of accessing some of the functions.
    This machine had previously been doing Time Machine backups to a local Firewire disk, and part of the process outlined here is to copy the contents of that disk to the NAS so that further backups build on top of the existing ones. No need to throw away the old backups!
    1. In System Preferences, turn Time Machine off.
    2. Find the MAC address of the machine’s internal Ethernet port:
    $ ifconfig en0 | grep ether
    This should produce a single line of output, such as:
    ether 00:16:cb:af:91:d7
    Even if the network backups will be done using a different port (e.g. AirPort: usually “en1″) the system will use the address of en0 as part of the system identifier.
    In this case the identifier that Time Machine will use is “magpie_0016cbaf91d7″.
    3. Make a new “sparsebundle” on a local disk (NOT the Time Machine disk!). This sparsebundle is a virtual filesystem image which we’ll copy to the NAS, and Time Machine will then access it remotely (that way Time Machine’s not limited by the filesystem features of whatever NAS it’s using: all the funky stuff happens within the sparsebundle). By default sparsebundles can keep growing until they fill up the NAS, but in this scenario we keep other things on the NAS as well as backups, and we’re going to limit the sparsebundle size to 140 GB. We called this one “Backup of magpie” as that’s the default name created by Time Machine, but in fact you can call the volume anything you like.
    $ hdiutil create -size 140g -fs HFS+J -volname "Backup of magpie" magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle
    created: /Users/david/magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle $
    This Mac Mini hasn’t had things like developer tools loaded: hdiutil comes with the OS. We make the sparsebundle manually so we can impose the size limit, and we do it on a local disk because of a bug that prevents creation of a sparsebundle remotely on the NAS (although they can be used when in place). The sparsebundle doesn’t start at 140 GB: it grows as more data is put in the filesystem inside it, up to a maximum of 140 GB.
    4. If you’re not going to copy the contents of an existing Time Machine disk, skip ahead to step 9.
    5. Mount the sparsebundle:
    $ open magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle
    You’ll see “Backup of magpie” appear as a mounted volume in Finder.
    6. Copy the old Time Machine backups to the sparsebundle. In Disk Utility:
    Click on Time Machine disk on the left panel, then select the “Restore” tab:
    1. Drag the local Time Machine volume to the Source field
    2. Drag the sparsebundle volume (”Backup of magpie”) to the Destination field
    3. Select “Erase destination” (possibly not mandatory)
    4. Restore
    This will take a while, depending on how much data is on the drive…
    7. If you selected “Erase destination” in Disk Utility, the volume name will have been copied from the local Time Machine disk. Rename the new volume back to “Backup of magpie” (or whatever name you chose).
    8. Unmount (”eject”) the sparsebundle volume.
    9. Mount the NAS share the sparsebundle will be mounted on (”TMmagpie” in this case). I mount all our shares via AFP, but you can presumably use CIFS also. Once it’s mounted, it will be accessible within Terminal.app as /Volumes/TMmagpie.
    10. Copy the sparsebundle to the share:
    $ rsync -avE /Users/david/magpie_0016cbaf91d7.sparsebundle /Volumes/TMmagpie/.
    Depending on your network (802.11g, 802.11n, 100bT, 1000bT, etc) this can take a long time!
    rsync is smart enough to only copy the new bits of a file, so you can stop and re-run that command if necessary without re-copying everything.
    In the meantime you can go ahead and use the machine. Just don’t turn Time Machine backups back on yet.
    11. If the local copy of the sparsebundle is in an area that will be backed up by Time Machine, remove it before proceeding. We don’t want to double the size of the Time Machine backup for no good reason!
    12. In the Time Machine System Preferences panel, select “Change Disk…”. It will display a list of volumes you can backup to. If the share containing the sparsebundle isn’t listed (you did mount it, right?) it’s probably because it’s not mounted from a Time Capsule or another OS X machine. To show the share in this display you’ll need to have executed the following command in Terminal:
    $ defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
    You’ll need to log out and in again for this to have effect (select “Log Out” from the Apple menu: you can Restart, but logging out will do). Now mount TMmagie again, then try Time Machine’s “Change Disk…” again.
    13. Select the share on the NAS (”TMmagpie”) as the new destination for Time Machine backups.
    Time Machine will automatically turn itself back on and schedule a backup to begin in two minutes. If you didn’t populate the sparsebundle with the contents of a local disk, this first backup will be a full backup and can take a very long time (depending on things like your network infrastructure). If you did pre-populate the sparsebundle, this backup will be an incremental backup and shouldn’t take long at all (depending on how much has changed on the machine since you turned Time Machine off in Step 1 of course).
    Once the backup has started, keep going with the remaining steps in this list while the backup is running.
    14. You can now eject the TMmagpie share. Time Machine will automatically mount the sparsebundle file directly (during backups you’ll see “Backup of magpie” mounted).
    15. Unfortunately Spotlight will try to index the contents on the “Backup of magpie” share, which will slow down the backups significantly. To avoid this, as soon as the share is mounted for the first time go to Spotlight’s Privacy panel in System Preferences. Use the ‘+’ button at the bottom, select the “Backup of magpie” share, and Spotlight will then ignore it. If Spotlight has already started indexing it, it should immediately stop and the backup will speed up.
    That’s it. Congratulations! New Time Machine backups should happen every hour, and you can access all the backup files via the usual Time Machine interface.With magpie this has allowed us to disconnect the local 200G Firewire disk previously used for Time Machine backups: this drive was significantly noisier than the Mac Mini itself!
    GOOD LUCK!

  • Airport Extreme and D-Link DNS-323

    I just setup a D-Link DNS-323 on my home network. My plan is to use it as a regular backup drives for two computers around the house. I had to do the initial set up of the drives with a PC but once that was done, I connected the DNS-323 to my Airport Extreme and I was able to connect to it no problem. My question is: how do I know what IP address the Airport Extreme is assigning to the drive. I need this address to be able to use a browser to configure the drive any further. Any hekp would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you guys get any further with this?
    I have a similar problem. My DSL modem syncs no problem when its sitting on its own or if I run a cable up the stairs and hardwire the network but as soon as I plug the Ethernet cable from my Airport Extreme Base Station into the modem, the DSL light starts to flash indicating it can't sync. If I unplug the Ethernet cable again, after a few seconds, the DSL modem will sync again.
