First what model Mini do you have? That will determine how high y can go.

    Please close this thread, I have managed to get a hold of a DVD including all the drivers, so I suppose that will work, if not one way then another.
    Thank you for the quick answers.

  • How to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5

    Dear all and Shane,
    Excuse me for bothering you again.
    Due to time limited, I would like to know how to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5. I mean I would like to use current mail system (mailscanner + postfix + courier-IMAP + clamav + spamassassin + webmail) and use the outlook connector to connect to Sun Java COMMS 5 to share the calendar, contacts only.
    Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5.
    My plan is as following
    1. Sun Java Communication suites 5 server ( I called it comms5 ) will be in DMZ zone and will open the necessary ports in firewall.
    2. I will create more than six sub domain name in Sun Delegate server and the necessary accounts within these domain names.
    3. All messages will be transmitted via Postfix and clients will retrieve from Courier-IMAP
    4. All Clients included other branch offices will use different mail clients to share their calendars, contacts via COMMS5 ( But how will COMMS handle the messages such like invitation ? )
    Any suggestions will appreciate.
    PS: Is it possible to classify the contacts in outlook address book ?
    For example, when user click the receiver, it will show like as following
    GLOBAL ADDRESS BOOK
    --Director
    --and so on
    ----CN.BRANCH OFFICE
    -----------CN01 EMAIL ADDRESS
    -----------CN02 EMAIL ADDRESS
    -----------CN03 EMAIL ADDRESS
    and so on
    ----JP.BRANCH OFFICE
    -----------JP01 EMAIL ADDRESS
    -----------JP02 EMAIL ADDRESS
    -----------JP03 EMAIL ADDRESS
    and so on
    ----TW.BRANCH OFFICE
    and Due to the user account is located in CN.BRANCH OFFICE, it will extend the CN.BRANCH OFFICE contacts level.
    Excuse me for bad English, hope you can understand it.
    Best Regards,
    Bruce

    Also the use of Outlook Connector with a non-Sun IMAP backend isn't supported, nor is the use of a non-Sun IMAP backend possible with UWC.
    Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5. Once again I should remind you that CentOS is not a supported platform for comm-suite-5

  • Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Question
    firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

    I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

    Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.

  • I have OS x 10.5.8 on my macbook.  I want the latest OS system.  what do I do?

    I have OS x 10.5.8 on my macbook.  I want the latest OS system.  what do I do?

    Many people are happy with OS X 10.5.8 but if you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that.
    You can discover more about various Macs at: http://www.apple-history.com/
    The OS numbers and names are:
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    You can buy Snow Leopard here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    For details about upgrading this to Lion or Mountain Lion see:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
    In each case check that your Mac complies with the requirements.
    If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of the page.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

    I have an iBook G4 with 10.4.11 OS.  Can I upgrade this to 10.5?

    Maybe, if it meets the requirements below.
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    I have an Epson 2200 which was in perfect working condition until just now when I received the following error message: /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /.  What to do???

    Hello kelsey1942,
    It sounds like you are not able to print to your Epson 2200.  I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot printer issues on a Mac:
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Additional Information
    Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.  For more details, see this article.
