I would like to migrate from Aperture. What happens to my Masters which are on a RAID array and then what do I do with my Vault which is on a separate Drive please ?

I am sorry, but I do noisy understand what happens to my RAW original Master files, which I keep offline on a RAID array and then what I do with my Vault which as all my edited photos ? Sorry for such a simple question, but would someone please help my lift the fog ?
Thanks,
Rob

Dear John ,
Apologies, as I am attempting to get to the bottom of this migration for my wife ( who is away on assignment ) and I am not 100% certain on the technical aspects of Aperture, so excuse my ignorance.
She has about 6TB worth of RAW Master images ( several 100 thousand ) which, as explained, are on an external RAID drive. She uses a separate Drive as a Vault . Can I assume that this Vault contains all of her edits, file structures , Metadata, etc ?
So, step by step........She can Import into Lightroom her Referenced Masters from her RAID and still keep them there ? Is that correct ?
The Managed Files that are backed up by her Vault , are in the pictures folder of her MacPro, but not in a structure that looks like her Aperture library ? This means Lightroom will just organize all the Managed files, simply by the date in the Metadata ? Am I correct ( Sorry for being so tech illiterate ).
How do I ensure she imports into Lighgtroom in exactly the same format as she runs her workflow in Aperture ? ( Projects, that are organized by year and shoot location and Albums within those projects with sub-locations, or species , etc ). What exactly do I need to do in Aperture please to organize Managed Files to create a mirror structure of Aperture on my internal Hard Drive ?
There are a couple of points I am unsure about in regard to Lightroom. Does it work in the same way as Aperture ? Meaning, can she still keep Master Files on an external RAID and Lightroom will reference them ? If the answer is yes, how do you back up your Managed ( edited ) work in Lightroom ? ( Can you still use an external Drive as a Vault ? ) . Will the vault she uses now be able to continue to back up Managed Files post migration ?

I would like to know if you go into free downloads why cannt you dowloads more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

I would like to know if the download that are free why cann't you download more than 10 and then you have to pay for them

If it's free, then it's free no matter how many you download. iTunes might take some time if you download more than three. I have more than 400 apps and a 50 of them are free and I don't have problem.
Are you sure it was free?

I just bought ipad2 but would like to print from it, what is a air printer. How do I set this up... I have a brother printer

How do I set up ipa2 so that I cn print

Printers that support AirPrint don't need any additional apps in order to print to them, they just need to be connected to the same wifi network as the iPad - the printer models that support AirPrint, and a bit of info about it, are on this page. If your printer doesn't support AirPrint then you could see if the printer manufacturer has their own app in the store which works with it, or there are third-party printer apps suc as Print n Share and Print Central which miht work with it.

Try using one of the 2 links in the right sidebar. One under Categories and one under Free.
Try booting into the Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, set up another admin user account and try from there.

You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal. Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again. If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works. You're lucky it still works with Leopard. As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Migration from Aperture to Lightroom...

Due to the stop of supporting aperture by Apple I would like to migrate to Lightroom. Does anybody know, when Adobe supports with a migration tool to make work easier. I know a manual way of doing this but would prefer an migration tool. Thanks to all.

Adobe have said they are working on one, but not how soon it will be ready.
Aperture won't stop working suddenly, so why not continue to manage all pictures taken before today (or some other date) in Aperture, and have all new pictures in Lightroom? That reduces the risk of confusion. When the migration tool is ready, you'll have more experience of LR and be better able to resolve any problems that may occur.

I'm a recently transformed "Windows to Apple" user, and I need to run various Windows software. Before installing Windows, I would like to hear from experiences from users if it works well. Also, I have an "Office for PC" that I need to re-download, however I was advised by someone that this software cannot be downloaded even if I had Windows in my MAC and that I will have to buy a new "Office for MAC" software. Thanks.

Yes, what you are looking at will work.
"Most of this would be for access to the shared folders which is not the same as RDP, correct? So i could
have myself connect from school to pull a word document, my friend connect from home to get the excel spreadsheet for our table top gaming, and my family connect to pull pictures from the shared folder on the server all at the same time. Because they
are accessing the shared folders it is not a RDP where they are accessing the server itself for administration."
This statement is correct. All of them would be able to be accessing the shared folders at the same time. This is the purpose of shared folders.
"the 1 user and RDP part is where I'm getting a little confused i think.
For the RDP part I thought that only applied to the server itself and not any of the client computers
connected to the server. So you are still limited to the 2 users to connect concurrently to the server or a client computer at any time?"
Sorry, not trying to confuse you. You mentioned to connect to a local machine at the same time. If you are staying away from RDP, then you won't have this issue. I would keep all shared folders on the server, not on any workstations.
You are correct 2 people can be RDP into a server at once. For client computers (workstations) you are limited to 1 person at a time. If you setup Anywhere Access correctly, then your friends and family should not need to RDP into a
client computer, they should only need to access the shared folders.
Something to keep in mind...for Anywhere Access to work, you will need to purchase a public certificate. You can do this from GoDaddy.com, Comodo or others. I would recommend either Godaddy or comodo. They make it easy and give plenty of instructions
on how to obtain the certificate. You will probably also have to purchase a domain name, and a static IP from your ISP. To fully do what you are looking at, it will take some out of pocket $$.

please help

Many videos in the iTunes store are protected so that they can only be viewed on Apple Devices signed into your iTunes account. If that is the case then your TiVo will not be able to read the files. If you know how to get a video file onto your TiVo from a flash drive, then just plug a flash drive into your Mac and drag one of the videos from inside the iTunes window onto the icon for the flash drive on your Desktop or in the left sidebar of a Finder window. That will copy the actual file onto the flash drive.
