I want to use a headless MacMini Server as a webhost for four sites.

I am considering trying the MacMini server to use as a webhost. I have a comcast business account with 5 IP's. It's an extreme connection speed package.
My sites would be:
2 Joomla! CMS sites,
1 WordpressMU Site,
1 SugarCRM site.
I am looking for something an idiot could install and manage. I'm using a hosting company right now, but would like more control of my OS.
I don't like the fact that Apple doesn't include phpMyAdmin as a standard package with Snow leopard.
I installed the above scripts on my macbook pro through MAMP and MAMP Pro, but all I can get is local access. The public cannot access my sites folder (regular snow leopard). So, I was told that I need snow leopard server to accomplish what I want to do. Can anyone help me figure out what I need, and how it's done?

It does sound like a simple port forwarding thing.
Do take care with that Comcast account. If my experience is any indication you will not get the advertised speed. If you read the agreement it is only guaranteed for the first few kilobytes or so of any transmission and then backs down to normal speeds afterward.
Comcast will also do you a "favor" and turn the firewall on by default in the supplied modem/router. You have to call them and have them turn it off if it interferes with anything.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

So I am trying to copy my hard drive "Macintosh HD" to an external hard drive, i want to use Terminal and have tried many ways. For example cp -r /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" /Volumes/"NO NAME". When i do it says No such file or directory. Ideas?

The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem!

Return it and get your money back. Virgin does not offer official unlocking, thus there's no way to get the phone officially unlocked for you to use it.
Sorry, but you wasted your money.

New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps. I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files. Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps. I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files. Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

Yes. Unfortunately, I don't know the specifics because I don't use iPhoto anymore and I completely copied over 15 years of MP3 files recently when I installed 10.7. Needless to say, I have not opened iTunes since and probably never will again - not because of iTunes but because of my stupidity. I did have some of the files backed up but I hadn't backed up in a while.......anyway....
When I imported my CD's, I had them go directly to my external firewire. I can't remember exactly how to set it, but in the preference section of iTunes you can specify an import destination to any drive that's available to your machine. I did this with iPhoto as well way back at one point when I was using Tiger, but I don't remember the specifics on that either. I can't imagine they would have discontinued support for that feature since then.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

Hi All,
I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

Want to use Apple TV to serve existing 4 room wired speaker installation

I purchased a home with existing 4 room speaker system. All wires terminate in basement where previous owner had some type of media control center. Each speaker zone has control for volume in the various rooms.
My goal is to reconnect the speakers and use my Apple TV (previous generation) as my music source. I want to keep this as simple and cheap as possible.
I am assuming I will need an Amp/receiver and a multi-speaker splitter to plug all the speaker wires into. I know I can use the Apple Remote app on my IPhone to control it remotely.
What I would like to hear about from the community is
1. opinions on this set up. Is there an easier or simpler way to drive and control the speaker?
2. if this arrangment makes sense, has anyone done this and what equipment works best?
Thanks

If you have zoned volume control (ie control for each room) your simplest set up would be to join all four sets of speaker cables into a single output from an amp/receiver, you would need to turn the volume to zero in rooms where you didn't want audio but you will need to judge for yourself whether that is convenient for you or not.
Your other option is to use an amp with at least 4 separately controlled outputs or a multiplexer, this would be controlled from one central point and so would allow you to turn rooms off without actually visiting them.

I want to use this thing as just a backup device for windows computers but don't have a Mac - can I use this in that way ? I am not interested in using the wireless portion jut wired ethernet.

I have multiple iOS devices and a couple of Windows XP Professional PCs, but I want to get a Time Capsule to use just to backup the Windows PCs now.
In the future I want to get a Mac and get rid of the windows PCs and then I will use Time Machine. I just want to know if I can use the Time Capsule now for wired backups ??? I plan on using Norton Ghost and don't need Time Machine nor do I have a Mac to use it. Should I forget this idea ? I plan on buying a Mac in the future and use this drive in the regular Apple manner. Please help !

The format of the disk is a Mac format. but that is irrelevant in a NAS device, as long as it offers SMB.. ie windows file network format.. you don't have to worry in the least how the files are stored on the drive.
But you cannot partition a TC.. it is as it is..
I have some iOS devices in addition including an AppleTV. Could this TC serve them as well as the Windows XP Pro PCs without having a Mac in my inventory ? (No time Machine.)
What are you expecting to serve to the iOS devices.. they are completely dumb.. they don't even know what the file system is without an APP.. and there is no Apple Format apps only SMB.. which is kind of interesting.
They are designed to work with iTunes.. but the TC is not an iTunes server strangely as lots of non-Apple products manage to make their NAS into ITunes servers. You can place the iTunes library on the TC but we don't recommend it due to the TC having no automated way to back itself up.. again unlike every other NAS out there. You can manually backup the TC via the USB.. it is slow and can only backup the whole disk.. even if you backed up the whole disk yesterday.. it has no ability to do incremental rsync or any other intelligent backup.

Using a Mac Mini Server quad Core i7 for FCPX ?

I am a student trying to
configure a final cut pro X edit system with a budget of around $4K.
I have over 400 hours of video (some Hi-8 but mostly mini-DV tapes).
For the Mini-DV tapes I plan on ingesting video into FCPX
directly from the camera via firewire DV. I will be using a Sony GV D800 to ingest
the Hi-8 tapes via firewire DV as well. I already have a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
H.264 will be used to deliver finished content to the web and/or Blu-ray.
I was leaning toward the macbook pro 17" but then I realised that a Mac Mini Server
could be configured with the same number of cores and RAM for less money.
Mac mini Server
2.0 GHz Quad Core Intel i7 -- same number of cores as macbook pro 17"
8 GB RAM
750 GB Serial ATA Drive 7200rpm + 256 GB Solid State Drive
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad
Other Peripherals:
Promise Pegasus 8TB R4 Raid System in RAID 5 configuration or equivalent
Sonnet Echo Express PCIe 2.0 Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis with
Matrox Compress HD MAX encoding card
LaCie d2 Blu-ray 12x
Do the extra cores in the server make up for the difference in GPU?
(2.7 GHz Mini dual-core i7 with AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR5 memory) VS (2.0 GHz Mini Server quad - core i7 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor and 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory)
Am I thinking about this configuration the right way? Is there
any overhead given that the mini will be a server? Anything missing?
thanks for your help,
Tom

Want to use Airport Express As A Wifi Extender/Repeater for Motorola Surfboard sbg6580 NO CABLES...

I am trying to simply extend my wifi network with Airport Express N. I am trying get my Motorola Surfboard sbg6580 to work with AEn, MOT sbg6580 has WDS and apple.com says "it does work with other routers" I guess I cant figure this out... I do not want to run 50 ft of ethernet cable and drill holes in floors, just simply extend network with AEn as repeater or extender. Is this possible? If so how?

Suggest that you check with the TW cable folks to see if they have a device that will do what you want.
If they cannot help, it is always best to use products from the same manufacturer to insure compatibility in applications like this, so if you have the make of your modem or router handy, you might check on the manufacturer's website to see if they offer what you need.

How to use the integrated ITS server in WAS6.40 for WEBGUI

Hi,
I am testing the Portal 6.0SP6 on WAS6.40SP7.
Using User Mapping, I am able to connect and call some transaction to R/3 System (4.6c) and the ITS servers for the R/3 system. If I am going to use webgui to call a transaction, do I need the ITS server at all? The reason I asked because I thought WAS6.40 came with an embedded ITS server.
If I can make use of the integrated ITS server, how do I configure the system connection?
Thanks,
Edmond wong

I have read the past posts, but I am still not clear... We are implementing mySAP ERP 2004. This will include ECC 5.0 and EP 6.2.
We currently have R/3 4.6C and EP5.5. From EP 5.5 I have users executing R/3 transactions directly from EP using the standard Master iView. This traffic goes via the ITS virtual instance for the R/3 system.
I am trying to decide if I need to setup a separate ITS to continue to do what we do now OR if the direct call of a transaction from EP6.2 using the SAP supplied Master iView can be accomplished using the Internal ITS on ECC 5.0. We do not have the DEV systems set up so I cannot test.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Rich

I want to use a retro TV screen as a mask for an imported video. It works and previews correctly in iBooks Author but not when previewed on my iPad. Any workarounds or suggestions welcome.

Hi there
I've been trying to give my imported videos a new spin by using the screen on a retro TV image to play the video on. I've masked the screen in Photoshop, saved it as a transparent .png and placed it onto the page. I then place the video, size it to fit the screen, send it to the back and, as if by magic, the video appears to play on the TV. However, as soon as I preview the book and go to view it on my ipad, the video is back in front of the TV and the illusion is lost.
Is there any way around this or am I going to have to make all my TV screens the same rectangular shape as the video? Also, is there any way I can stop the video being played full screen? Some of my videos are over 50 years old and the quality is pretty poor at full screen.
Many thanks.

Don't rely on 'Preview'.
Share/Export as .ibooks file and then drag that to iTunes and sync to your iPad.
Still no joy, find a pre-processing recipe ( that includes export for iPad) that doesn't spoil the quality in the process.
Just keep in mind that low quality in means low or lower quality out, in this example.

I want to use my Adobe CS3 to create a newsletter for my co

Hi everyone,
I have never used this product and have limited use with Adobe period. I am attempting to create a sample newsletter for the company I work for and have a thirty day trial and I need help in creating the newsletter. I have Adobe inDesign CS3. Someone please help me.

Cari,
While you might be able to learn to use some of the tools in InDesign in
30 days you'll hardly be a master at that point. And that doesn't even
touch on the need to understand how to simply design the newsletter.
You're in the right place to get help, but you're going to need to ask
specific questions about specific features in the program.
If you visit http://indesignsecrets.com, you'll find a link to an offer
of 7 days of free access to lynda.com. I suggest taking them up on that
and then coming back with any specifics you'd like addressed.
