Is starting fresh the best way

I just bought the Leopard 10.5.1 to install and I have been having some issues anyways with the new
quicktime 7.4 and final cut pro 4.5, I would like to wipe the whole computer and start fresh with leopard but I have the final cut studio disk that i traded in my final cut 4.5, now when I load the Final Cut Studio up do I need to have the serial number of my old 4.5 for that to work does anyone know, and what is the best way to wipe the harddisk, through disk utilities?

I have the final cut studio version 5.1 but it says Crossgrade I had to send in my final cut pro 4 disk to get the $99 deal a year or so ago but I did keep my serial numbers from those final cut 4 disk so I guess that will be ok because I dont believe I had serial numbers for the new disk that came in.

What is the best way to start "fresh" with iPhoto '08?

I am running iPhoto '08 on a mid-2007 iMac. When I set up the machine, I moved all the photos from my PC to the Mac retaining the existing directory structure that I had on the PC. I then imported all the pictures into iPhoto with no problems.
Unfortunately, the other person who uses the Mac needs to be able to use the directory structure as it existed on the PC (that structure involves several subfolders with specific names etc.), and it appears that iPhoto is not designed to work that way. I know the photos can still be manipulated in the folders I imported, but then I run the risk of at best, being out of synch with iPhoto and at worst, corrupting iPhoto completely.
That said, what I would like to do is delete or remove the current iPhoto library (or whatever iPhoto accesses; not the whole application unless necessary) and then selectively import photos to iPhoto. That way, the other user can access the photos in the familiar folder structure and manipulate them at will without disturbing the iPhoto db and, once photos are edited etc. and ready for primetime, they can be imported to iPhoto to gain the advantages of displaying using Front Row etc.
My question is what is the best way to achieve what I am looking for? Just backup then delete the iPhoto pkg file in the HD/Library/Receipts folder? Uninstall the entire application and start over?
All assistance greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You don't need to re-install iPhoto, just change the library - and you may not even need to do that.
1. You can easily recreate your Directory structure in iPhoto. Simply start at the bottom of your structure and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane of the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will create an Album of the same name. The create your enclosing folders (File -> New Folder) and drag the albums to it. This way you can quickly recreate what you have/
2. The other user of the files can access them directly via the iPhoto Window or a Media Browser such as THIS. The advantage of this system is that your directory structure is available to them ina convenient and recognisable way. They can then drag the pics from the iPhoto Window / Media Browser to the app they as the need. (A whole lot faster than fumbling around in Folder after Folder etc, plus the advantage of keyword searching.)
3. Is this necessary for working with an editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. Btw this is the only way that edits made in iPhoto will be visible in iPhoto.
4. Finally, if you do wish to go as you described: Simply trash the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder. Start iPhoto and it will create an new empty library. If you wish to recover the files from the Library first, then Right Click on the iPhoto Library and go 'Show Package Contents'. Your files are in the Originals Folder.

Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

Hi,
I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
Thank you so much.

If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
Hope this helps.

The best way to start with JDeveloper

Can anybody tell me what the best way is to start using JDeveloper? Besides Oracle Manuals, are there other ones? Thanks for responding!!

It would be nice if you can specify what is your background. Which tools/languages you used before?
If you don't know Java pick up a Java book that will teach you the basics and the syntax.
A good free online book is : http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/
Then use JDeveloper to do the code samples in the book.
Use this tutorial to understand the basic of the JDeveloper IDE:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/introide/introjdevide.htm
Then once you got the basics you should probably try out the ADF tutorial to see how you build a complete Web application that interacts with a database:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
This page also contains the ADF Developer Guide book.
In addition the JDeveloper home page has links to more demos tutorials and how-to's:

What is the best way to start SAPGUI in a specific transaction

Hello,
What I'm trying to do is to run a Java program that will start SAPGUI (in windows format, not HTML) and present the user with a specific transaction with some data already inserted.
I already managed to start the SAPGUI and I know how to fill in data using the SapJCo but my question is: what is the best way to navigate to a specific transaction? I can activate an RFC of BAPI_CALL_TRANSACTION but it seems like a big overhead. so, can any of you tell me what is the best way activate a specific transaction in SAPGUI using JCo?
Thanks,
Uri Lifshitz.

Uri
JCO are mostly used to executed a RFM on the Destination.
I don't think we could call a Transaction using JCO.
Thanks

What's the best way to start this dashboard?

I have a data set of titles, gender, race, and disability.
I would like to create a dashboard that will be visually appealing to the end user that relies on this information.
What would be the best way to visually represent the gender, race, and disability for each title?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Zack H.

Hi Zack
Start with a blank piece of paper and draw out what you think will look ok in terms of the relationships between the data sets you have and a basic structure on areas for controls and areas for visualisations. Then create this mock up using tables/charts etc. Try to select charts which fit the data you have, see [here|http://media.juiceanalytics.com/downloads/graphselectionmatrix_sfew.pdf]
Take it to your user group and discuss, and enjoy the many iterations that follow

Mac Pro won't start up. What's the best way to check the power supply?

Hello. I'm having a severe problem with my 2007 Mac Pro. The symptoms are very easy to describe. The computer apparently shut itself off overnight, and when I press the power button to turn it on, absolutely nothing happens. No lights, no chime, no signs of any power whatsoever in the computer. I have never had major problems with the computer before. (Although I had recently noticed some minor skipping problems with streaming videos and Firefox had started hanging occasionally.)
So far, I have checked the power cable and the power outlet. I have also reset the SMC (holding in the Power button for 5 seconds with the unit unplugged). I am unable to see any light in the diagnostic LEDs (including LED 1) when I press the DIAG_LED button on the logic board.
While I welcome other suggestions, all I can figure is that this is either a power supply problem or a major logic board failure, but I don't know which. I have a multimeter and would like to test very directly if the power supply is the problem, because they are very expensive and obviously I do not want to order a replacement supply if it would not fix the computer. Does anyone know what the best way to test the supply directly is? What pins on what cable should I test, and what voltage should I look for?
Also: No the computer is not under any warranty. If at all possible, I would like to fix this myself. Thanks for any help you can give.

Well, I may have found the answer to my question as to why replacing the fuse dows not seem to be encouraged. I cut out the failed fuse (fast fuse, ceramic, 16 Amp 250V), and replaced it with another that was as close to it in spec as I could find (15 A instead of 16). Then I put the supply back in the case.
When I tried to plug it in, I got an immediate spark, followed by an acrid smell from the power supply. Later inspection revealed that the new fuse blew, as did another component nearby (not sure what it was) where I could see blackening and the smell was concentrated. At this point, I would consider myself lucky if the power supply didn't take anything else on the computer out with it.
Lesson learned; will try a new power supply and go from there.

I'm a Newbie - Hi!: what is the best way to get started?

Hi,
I'm retired but used to be a Senior Design Engineer with an aerospace components manufacturer. The questionnaire didn't ask if I was retired!
I have a basic working knowledge of computers and applications but I struggle with jargon, (i.e. I prefer the simple approach).
My copy of Photoshop Elements 12 arrived yesterday. I've just finished installing it!
The instructions were quite clear as far as the installation went but I got a bit lost when the booklet started with the "Create an Adobe ID"
It didn't seem to give any direction. Any way somehow I managed to get here in the end having registered my product (twice - because I didn't see any activity after I hit the button the first time!).
I own a Sony Alpha SLT A57 camera and also a Casio Exilim FH100 although the Sony is my weapon of choice for the most part.
I'm on a basic photography course which leads to an intermediate and then ultimately an advanced course. I also hope to follow on with courses that have been set up for Photoshop Elements too which are also available.
I will be feeling my way for a while yet and I would appreciate some help (which will be needed inevitably).
First of all, what is the best way for a guy with only basic skills to get started?
Is there a page I can go to for help from first principles?
I look forward to being a part of this community!

Help> Getting Started is a good starting point, as is Adobe TV - Quick Links to Elements Adobe TV Tutorials.

What is the best way to implement Spiceworks and get started?

Yes this is the most basic question of all, how do you use it?I did search for some articles but there are tutorials that are 6 years old, or maybe a year or two old. I want to make sure I'm up to date on best practice.I've got a network of 8 PCs and 6 laptops or so as well as phones and tablets (if SW cares).I've got this community user which I created long ago when I first tried to test SW.My question is, what is the best way to get SW going? I mean, do I create a new user that is specific to the company? Is the community user different from the SW admin user? I want to separate my community user (which is me personally) from any local business/network implementation of SW.Do I need a server to run this or is something run on each workstation? Does each computer need something done to it so SW can work right?Basically I just need to...

I want to get good wifi in my house . I currently have a time warner modem/router separate from my phone modem but my upstairs does not get good reception. What would be the best way to get the best wifi if I started from scratch

I have a combination modem/router from time warner that is separate from my phone line but I get bad reception on my apple tv an ipads upstairs in my house. I would like to fix this and want to know the best way to go about it . Whether getting two modems and routers or just one base station. Please help

It is possible to extend a WiFI network using Apple's Airport Express, Airport Extreme Base Station, or even a Time Capsule. However the router that is creating the network (the one you have downstairs) must be configurable to permit another WiFi device to extend the network. All Apple WiFi routers can be configured that way, but there are many third party WiFi routers that cannot. The two routers can be connected wirlessly or by ethernet. From your description I suspect ethernet would be prefereable if yoiu had a good way of routing the cable.

What's the best way to setup multiple iDevices?

I have three iPods (1-3 & 2-4) and 2 iPads2, they are all tied into my own Apple ID and with the new changes/upgrading to iCloud what would be the best way to set these guys up?
I have my own playlist that I like to listen on my iDevices, but some of the songs or even movies are not appropriate for my kids so how would I set it up so not all music/photos/videos are made available on all my devices?
With the library I already have, is it just best to nuke the iDevices and start fresh with iOS5?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to create multi websites on the VPS with one static IP address.
Your question is more about IIS instead of DNS server. IIS has provide the function about creating multi websites on one machine. You may post on IIS forum for official support:

What is the best way to archive large mailboxes

I am using Mail on Mavericks 10.9.5 with my corporate mail (Exchange 2007). I am getting issues trying to archive my email, and remove it from the Exchange Server. I usually divide mail into years, e.g mailbox for 2012, 13 etc.
I have 2 years of mail with about 14000 messages, and I want to migrate it off. I have taken the usual steps of creating a new mail box local to my mac and moving mail this way. However, unless I pick a very small no of messages, this method crashes mail. I have tried this over a few different versions of Mail, 10.8.x and 10.9.x and I get the same result.
Is there a way to just move the current exchange mailbox on my mac, from a live state to a archive state at the terminal or cmd line level?
If I can do this, I will then archive that mail from the Exchange server such that I start with a fresh/empty mailbox.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you asking with regards to on-premises Exchange? With Microsoft Online SaaS services (aka Exchange Online) there is no control and no need to control which data center a mailbox resides in.
With regard to on-premises Exchange, you have two choices: you can move it over the WAN in which case you would either do a native mailbox move (assuming you have Exchange 2010 or later you can suspend the move after the copy so you can control the
time of the cutover) or create a database copy in the second data center and once the database copies have synchronized change the active copy.
The other choice is to move is out of band which would usually involve an offline seed of the database (you could conceivably move via PST file but that would disrupt access to the mailbox and is not really the 'best way').
In general, Exchange on-premises questions are best asked on the Exchange forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
Thanks,
Guy
