Http, advice about instalation please.

Could somebody who as had FTTP installed clarify something for me. I'm waiting for mine to be installed and believe that where the fibre comes into the building there will be a box like the master phone socket. I have had the Home Hub 5 delivered so that would connect directly to this box, no need for a modem etc. From what I've been told by BT my phone service would still be over the copper wire. The reason I'm asking is that a survey was done last week and the Open Reach guy did point out where they would run the fibre to the property. This would be great as all that would be needed is to go through the wall and terminate there, as this would be right next to the computer and all that is needed would be to plug the Home Hub in and no need for extra cables. If it has to be installed next to the phone master socket, then there would be a need to run a cable from there through a door and round a room. The first option would seem to be the best for me and the cheapest solution for Open Reach. I have had a look at the help pages but all they seem to show is for HTTC and the Home Hub 3.

The engineer will carry out any work needed just explain where you need things placing

Please advice about fast reading/writing

Hi All,
I am building a custom system for Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4, I know this is not a PS forum but I think the hardware experts are here.
The components I have already selected are:
i7-3930k
ASUS P9X79 PRO
64GB RAM (GSKILL)
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Since I have enough RAM the scratch disk is not something to worry about, after reading this article about SSDs for PS:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Solid _state_disks
I think a SSD is useful only when starting the applications (having them in the SSD), which is not important for me (I do it twice or three times per day). What I would like to do (and is the matter of this post) is to open and save my large pictures (700MB to 1+ GB) as kickly as posibble, is the Caviar Black a good choice or should I consider a SSD? What about a WD velociraptor? Also, I would appreciate advice about other options.
The last custom build I did was probably 8 years ago so I am not up to date with the hardware technology, I have learned a lot reading this great forum :-).
Thank you,
William Gonzales

William,
I use Photoshop CS5 and Bridge a lot and care particularly about how fast the PC can read since this dramatically impacts how fast you can process and rank lots of shots.
Bottom line...
Suggest in addition to whatever your boot drive is you configure a 2xRAID 0 7200rpm drive setup for your data. You have an extremely capable CPU and lots of RAM, so your disk speed is definitely a bottleneck.
Another alternative, although more expensive and quite a bit smaller would be one of the latest, fastest SSDs that can finally deliver on the write side. (i.e. Samsung 840 Pro and its competitors). This would be a secondary drive to whatever you have for your boot drive.
Another suggestion, is make sure you have a video card with good 2D speed. That is get one that can move lots of data; this spec. (Memory Bandwidth, often in GB/sec) is often buried since gaming and 3D features (cores, shading, memory size, etc.) are most important for most users. My video card, a GTX 480 has a memory bandwidth of 177.4 GB/sec, but probably any card with at least 80 GB/sec will probably work very well with your apps.

Jim

I talked to your guys yesterday about installing correct version of Lightroom 5 which I legally owned, and your guy provided me a download link (different from Creative cloud account), but somehow it was for Windows version not for Mac version. I would very much like to download a Mac version, so please send my correct web link. By the way my s. number for Lightroom 5 up is [removed], and I also have s.number for 4 up and 3 full.

The latest non-CC version of LR 5 is 5.7.1 and download links are available on the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Both Mac and Win links are there.
If you are asking for a LR 5 CC link, which wouldn't require a serial number, please be more clear about that.

Advice about an external DVD drive

Hi there,
Pardon the basic questions, a computer genius I am not.
I have a rather elderly iMac G4 running 10.4.11 and it has never been able to even see DVDs. I am facing necessary software upgrades which come in a DVD format. Is an external DVD drive what I get? Will my poor iMac see a DVD coming from an external drive? I have always found it annoying that I have the DVD player software but I can't use it.
Note: if a solution contains advice about replacing my hard drive, please know that particular drama happened this summer when the original hard drive died. After much angst, my iMac is working well; I just need to be able to load software in a DVD format.
thank you!
suzy

Yes an external DVD optical drive will work. The cost needs to be considered, is it worth it.
You could opt to go the cheapest way possible; search Ebay on the PC side(since a high % are not as overall savvy as Mac users) look for the older Sony CDR burners, these were blue external enclosures which housed CDR burners. You can purchase modern DVDR player/burners cheaply now a days and install the optical drive into one of those Sony enclosures. The reason I suggest Sony is way back when they were expensive but well made and work to this day all the way to Leopard. You should be able to pick one up for $25.00 plus a good optical drive for less than $50.00
BTW "necessary software upgrades" if you don't mind what are the upgrades and why only on DVD media? There are other ways to skin this cat.

Advice about creating a website(s) with a .Mac Account - Newbie

Hello,
I need some advice about creating a website with a .Mac Account.
The Situation
For my media course we need to create a short film, then brand it, and distribute it along with press releases and press packs. No other group have thought about setting up a website - where it has all the company details, info about the Cast, Crew, Film, and maybe a link to the finished product.
The Problem.
I'm the only one who has an Apple Laptop. We don't want to use the computer at the university as A LOT of students use them and every month or so they're given a clean install.
I've designed my own 'virtual series' website to showcase my screen writing work, but I haven't uploaded it. I was waiting until I finish university in the summer before I activated my 1 year .Mac Account. I have a .Mac Account, which has still got to be activated.
How do i go about creating my 'video production' site, if I've already got my own created and sitting in iWeb?
How could I just 'launch/upload' my 'video production' site without putting my own up as well?
Should we buy a separate .Mac Account?
Oh, and what would the address be, so that we can put them on business cards.
THANKS for any and all help.

Lots of questions... you've come to the right place!

Hi,
I want to uninstall EPM system. The problem is that Hyperion does not offer products to unistall. It shows just clean window. In cmd line i also get a lot of java errors. It says 'Premature end of file'. It seems it can not parse some file that stores the info about installed products.
Can you please help

If you are deleting everything manually then
Stop any hyperion related services.
Delete all from under the Hyperion directory
Delete from the registry :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions
Delete file .oracle.products
There are some environment variables but you may not to remove them all e.g. HYPERION_HOME, EAS_HOME, ESSLANG
Drop and recreate rdbms databases.

Need some advice about hot backup under linux

hi, I want some advice about db files hot backup between two machines(Named A and B).A is primary machine which will write and read database and have the lastest db file. B is backup role and no database file in it.
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B have the lastest db file too.
At A,my db file support transaction and environment, and I set autoremove unnecessary log files.
The code such as follows:
dbenv->set_flags(dbenv, DB_AUTO_COMMIT |DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE | DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC, 1);
ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, NULL,
DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN ,0)
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine with different dir.
How can I make machine A's db files backup to machine B.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
hangsy

Hi Hangsy
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B
have the lastest db file too.What do you mean? Do you want to have the latest version... from when you did the latest backup, or you want to keep it updated in the same time with the main database?
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and
db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine
with different dir.You can copy the backup anywere you want.
If you want to run recovery on a different machine, it must be the same pointer size and endianness as the original machine.
Database and log file archival: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
It is usually simpler to take the hot backup on the main machine and run recovery there before copying the databases to the remote system.
In this setup, only the databases are required on the remote system, not the log files.
Since you are using NOSYNC, you should run a checkpoint which will ensure you that the database files are up to date.
Please read "Recovery procedures" ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html ) first. "you cannot perform a hot backup of databases and log files, restore the backup and then run normal recovery -- you must always run catastrophic recovery when using hot backups."

I Need To Know Some Information About Installing Windows On A Macbook Pro 13

Hello !
Actually Playing My Favourite Games Is A Problem Because I Can't Find DVD Games (Mac Version) For My Macbook Pro So I Found Out That You Can Install Windows 7 Software On A Mac But I Wanted To Know Some Information Like :
- I Know That I Can Install It Using Boot Camp But I'll Need A Windows 7 DVD So Is There Some Specialized Version For Mac ? Or I Just Need A Normal Windows 7 DVD For PC ?
- If I Installed Windows 7, Will I Lose The Mac OS X Lion ? Or I Can Have Both Softwares Together At The Same Time ?
- If I Installed Windows 7, Will It Have The Same Specifications Of Macbook Pro 13 ? (Ex: 2.4 GHz Processor)
- If I Installed Windows 7 And I Already Had Mac OS X Lion, Will The Macbook Lag Or It Will Work Properly ?
- If There's Any More Info That You Know About Installing Windows 7 On A Macbook Pro 13, Please Provide Me With It, Thanks!

This really is a forum about the MacBook Pro hardware. The best place to ask your questions would be the Windows/BootCamp forum. Your MacBook Pro 13 has one weakness that's going to make gaming a bad experience. It has an integrated Intel HD graphics processor, whereas the higher end MacBook Pro's have discrete ATI graphics processors. But the forum will help you out.

Advice about using the laptop with closed lid while connected to external display

Hello all HP forum members!
I have an ENVY 17 with Win8.1 64bit, a great laptop, but I need an advice about using it while connected via HDMI cable to an external display (TV).
When I play heavy 3D games, the computer produces more heat than usual (of course this is normal), but doing so with closed lid, could this harm the display in some way, as a result of the heat?
Thanks!

Hi @VVel ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 17 Notebook and issue with keeping the Notebook on while closing the lid. Here is a document on changing the Power option.
Control Panel - Power Options - upper left - Choose what closing the lid does.
Change Plan Settings and also check Advanced Settings. Make sure you do this for both battery and power.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Another query about installing BT Infinity2 and lo...

History.
We occupied a new build house in 1998. It was fitted with a BT Master Socket (Line Box) which is situated in a front corner of the Living Room. We wanted to have the 'phone in a different corner of the room and also wanted to install some more electrical sockets and television aerial sockets, so before we moved in we set about doing that. While we had holes in the walls and floors lifted we took the opportunity to install some telephone extension sockets.
The Telephone Installation.
Using a BT extension kit and BT junction boxes. (and connecting all six wires of the cable into the appropriate locations)
From Line Box in Living Room to Bedroom 3, which is immediately above - one cable within the cavity wall to a junction box under the floor of Bedroom 3.
From that junction box - one cable to Bedroom 3 telephone wall plate and
one cable to another junction box under the landing floor.
From the landing floor junction box - one cable within the wall back down to an inner corner of the Living Room to a telephone wall plate and
one cable within a wall down to the Kitchen telephone wall plate and
one cable under the floor to Bedroom 1 telephone wall plate.
All extensions have worked well since then.
My Line Rental has always been with BT and except for a brief period with Talk Talk my calls have also been with BT.
We later obtained AOL Dial Up which worked fine then later AOL Broadband. When we obtained the Broadband service we fitted BT Filters to each of the extensions in use and had no problems. The AOL Router and desktop computer are in Bedroom 3 plugged into that extension. Lately, the AOL Broadband has become impossibly slow so we have ordered BT Infinity 2 which is due to be installed next week.
Question 1.
I understand that the normal installation installs a Broadband Filter plate, which includes a Broadband socket, in the Line Box between the BT line and the telephone plug socket. Is it possible for the extension wall plate in Bedroom 3 to be changed to a Line Box to accomodate said Filter plate without any other work being necessary?
Question 2.
If the above is possible, can the original Line Box in the Living Room be left in situ and useable as an extension ?
Question 3.
If the two above are possible can we then remove all the Line Filters from the extension sockets or will one always be necessary in the original Line Box in the Living Room as the new Filter fitted in Bedroom 3 is "downstream" of the incoming BT line?
Question 4.
What does backwiring mean?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well it's installed and working.
I have to admit that after reading some of the threads on this site I was rather apprehensive as to what to expect and what could or could not be done.
I received two email reminders/confirmations from BT about the forthcoming engineer visit.
The engineer telephoned on the morning of the appointment to confirm that he was en route and he arrived on time.
I explained my wiring set up and he advised that this was not a problem as he could install wireless. I commented that BT advised ethernet cabling for the fastest speed. He replied that in his experience the speed was subject to many variables and that he personally used wireless and that it was just as fast)
He fitted a replacement Master Socket (didn't just alter the already fitted one), connected up the Hub and Modem, went off to the street cabinet, returned and confirmed that my daughter's laptop was connected to the Hub, and that was it. He gave us the standard advice about the speed that we could expect and that it may vary considerably for the first few days. I cannot recall the actual speed quoted but do know that it was many times faster than we had been forced to endure from our previous provider.    BT call centre had advised us that the engineer would be able to supply a wireless adapter to replace the one I was using in my laptop, but that was wrong information as he advised us that in his experience this had never been the case.
After he had left we simply deinstalled the Netgear from my laptop and re-connected the Netgear adapter I already had to the Hub and that was my laptop connected.
We bought another Netgear Wireless Adapter for the Desktop and installed & connected that to the Hub.
My wife and daughter both have Kindle Fire devices which happily talk to the Hub by Wi-Fi and my daughter's Smartphone also talks to it, so everyone is happy.
The only problem that we encountered was when I switched off the power to the Hub and Modem whilst tidying up the cabling. When I powered up again we had lost Broadband and the Lan1 light on the Modem was not lit. The troubleshooting guidance advised re-starting the Hub, but that didn't solve the problem. Our instructions advised that if this occurred on the day of installation that we should wait until after midnight on that day to ascertain whether Broadband had re-connected.
The following morning I re-read the troubleshooting guide in the brochure and tried re-starting the Hub but it still made no difference. We called the helpline number who advised us to press the "re-set" button on the Modem for 20 seconds then the re-start button on the Hub for 10 seconds. (The troubleshooting guide made no mention of re-setting the Modem. )    That worked.
We've had one slight problem since then when I tried mounting the Modem on the wall instead of it lying on the carpeted floor and moved the Hub to the end of the window sill behind the curtain. Shortly after that we lost the wirless connection although all the relevant lights on the Modem and Hub were lit.    The connection returned when I moved them back to where they had been previously. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Need advice about zip rar files

Here's wishing you all a very happy New Year!! Mr Greenhorn is back again! I have a question about zip and rar files. As some of you may remember, this is my first Mac, so I'm used to using the zip/rar programme on my old Windows O/S. Now I receive zip/rar files and can't open them. What is anyone's advice about downloading the zip/rar programme onto my Mac? Any particular pro's and con's? Any particular site to download from? Now my Mac has a compression programme included which converts files to zip files, but is that compatible to the actual zip/rar programme? And finally, where is the advantage to compressing files? Is it only for uploading or is there some benefit to having files 'compressed' on your actual laptop?

Hi There
Mac OS X has a built in Archive Utility which doesn't support .rar files. To uncompress rar files you will need a utility like RAR Expander or Stuffit Expander both are free. I suggest doing a search on MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com) or VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com) to find a programme that you like.
I personally don't see any advantage with keeping compressed files on your laptop (unless the archives being used often for emailing, uploading to websites etc). Compressing files does save disk space but if you get to the point where you need to compress your files to gain disk space then I suggest buying an external HD or a bigger internal HD.
Hope this helps
