Is there a need for the i.p. to change?

I see that the i.p. is set to change every 4 hours by default for all my Macs but is there a need for this? Is there a way to set it so it doesn't change? Or is that a bad idea?
PowerBook 15", 1.67 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Thanks for the info Frank.
I'm using a Widget for a software called Indigo wich controls my X10 lighting system and the Widget needs a static i.p.
I changed the i.p. to all 4 Macs and they work fine.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Help needed for THE decision

    Hi everyone ☺
    I’m finally planning to start recording what I play, and after some hours of wandering on the web I found some interesting possibilities. Now what I need is to decide which one is more suitable for my needs, and here comes the moment for apple discussions
    Basically, I will record my own music one track/instrument at a time (I’m still not able to play more than one…and I dont’ want to spend 2.000$ to buy a 24-ins device just to record drum tracks), I’d like to have a software with built-in effects for guitar/bass/voice, integrated soundtrack possibilities (to play with video recordings), mixing options for both stereo and surround mixing, and I don’t want any card to be placed into my mac. Well, and obviously the sound quality must be pro-like…as anyone probably wants.
    So, here’s what I came up with:
    a) getting logic pro studio 8 and apogee duet
    b) getting pro tools m-powered and mbox 2
    c) getting one of the two softwares and a Monster iStudioLink Instrument cable and plug instruments directly into the mac
    Now, the questions are:
    if I can plug an instrument directly into my mac and control all parameters via one of the two softwares, what do tools like duet and mbox2 serve for?
    In the case this tools are useful [ ☺ ], why ☺ … and which is the couple software/hardware that can best suit my needs?
    I assume that every software has a proprietary file extension in which audio tracks are saved, so that it should be impossible to record an audio track with one software and edit it with another that has different functions/plugins (ex. from logic to pro tools, from pro tools to cakewalk sonar which I have on a pc etc.). Am I right, or is there any “standard”, non compressed high quality file type in which track can be saved and exported to be edited with different softwares?
    I know that from this post it may easily seem that I’m a hopeless digital idiot, but I swear the situation is not really that bad so no need for the kind of explanations with drawings like the ones you find in the “for dummies” guides lol so every experts’ advice will be greatly appreciated
    Neptune

    Thank you Bee Jay and Pancenter for the lighting-fast and useful answers
    now I am aware that an interface IS NEEDED lol (that means they are not produced without a reasons, are they?). I know Pro Tools is the industry standard but I don't like anyone/anything to tie me to their choices/interests (so that's why I was asking about Pro Tools, knowing that there's some sort of "hardware threat"). What I look for is just quality and if I understood what you both mean, as far as this aspect is concerned, Logic and Pro Tools are substantially comparable...isn't it? On the interfaces side, I already checked the Saffire ones (they seem quite good, and cross-platform use is definitely a plus), I will check the others mentioned and will let you know In fact, I didn't consider the "platform problem" but, as I wrote, I also own a PC with an Audigy 2 soundcard (midi/analog/optical/digital inputs/outputs and firewire port...not Madonna's private studio, but not as sad as Mac's little hole) and Sonar 6 Producer Edition, so that has been a really good point to ponder. And now, in the middle of this software/hardware battle...any personal suggestions based on tests/personal experience?

  • I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    Indeed :-)
    This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
    That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
    Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
    A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

  • Which licenses do I need for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX R2 2012

    Dear Community,
    some time ago i heard about the Enterprise Portal, which requires a SharePoint 2013 and a Dynamics AX R2 2012 Server.
    My company has a fully licensed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server and enough CALs. We also have a Dynamics AX 2009 Server running. 
    Now to my question: What licenses are needed to get a Enterprise Portal with Dynamics AX 2012?
    Thanks for your responses.
    Sincerely ShareBear9280

    Hi ShareBear,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which licenses needed for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
    There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/114710.aspx
    For this issue, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for Microsoft Dynamics AX: 
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33.aspx .More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Microsoft Dynamics AX.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a need for internet on iphone while you wan to locate it when you lost your iphone?

    I lost my iphone and I am trying to locate my iphone using the Icloud-Find my iphone, but it shows offline, so I just wanna know if is there  a need for internet service on iphone or it works with the location service only?? Cz it shows offline, help plz

    Maybe the networks have different services, cause here in Afghanistan I had a ROSHAN network simcard in my iphone, it shows your current location on the map if the map is already downloaded in a limited area, but if the map is not downloaded it shows the current location in a blank page even when I turn off the 3G and cellular services.
    That’s what I was using here. Thank you any way.
    Have a good time.

  • Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

    Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

    Current recommendations is turn Java off.  Generally you don't need it.  Do not confuse it with Javascript which you do need for your browsers.   
    You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).
    More new tricks from Flashback
    How to check for and disable Java in OS X
    Protect Yourself from the Mac OS X Java Vulnerability
    If it turns out you need it for some specific application or web site that you trust then turn it on only when running that application or visiting that site. If your work requires Java be enabled then at least disable it in your browsers.
    If you do need to run Java, be sure that you pick up the Java Software Update 7 posted recently that takes 10.6 and 10.7 up to Java SE 6 revision 31.
    Flashback is a moving target with lots of strains (various versions, permutations) and changing all the time.  So who knows what's next?

  • Is there a fee for the podcast service?

    Is there a fee for the podcast service?

    If you're here asking about the Mac OS X Server Podcast Producer, that's part of Mac OS X Server, and Mac OS X Server is a feature-upgrade to, and does cost more than, the more familiar Mac OS X (client) software package.  You'll also need sufficient network bandwidth for whatever you're planning here, particularly if you're going to be distributing this podcast material directly from your Mac OS X Server box.
    If you're here asking about creating podcasts using Garageband or other tools, then yes, there can be fees associated with those products.  Garageband is part of the iLife tools, and a version of that is installed with new Mac systems, though upgrades do cost money.  (And get yourself a good external cartioid condensor or equivalent microphone; the audio quality from the built-in mikes is very poor.)
    If you're here asking about the podcast downloads using iTunes and accessing the Apple servers for the podcasts you can download - and specifically about publishing the podcasts - then I believe those are free (at least for non-commercial podcasts), but you'll want to check the iTunes Making a Podcast document for details
    If I've not guessed at your particular goal(s) here (your question is unfortunately somewhat ambiguous), please consider providing a little more background on what you're up to and what problem(s) you're solving.

    Is there a limit for the apps that i purchased or i can purchase as much i want? and how can i know the capacity it's taking? Thank you

    Yes you can buy whatever you want if your credit card is in good standing.
    Before you buy, read the size of the download in iTunes/App/iBook Store.
    Rule of thumb, you need to reserve about 10% of your total space.

  • Can anyone tell me the mAh needed for the iPhone 5?

    I am looking to purchase an Emergency USB cell phone charger and want to make sure there is enough power (but not too much) in the device.  I can't seem to find the answer yet???  I purchased one and it did not say anything about how much power it has but it did say it will work with the iPhone 5.  I should know better than to believe something that an after-market manufacturer posted but I was hopeful.  It worked from 0 battery to 12% and then said "not compatible with this phone" (or something like that). 
    I am not knowledgeable about power, iPhones, horse training and many other things , but I hope to learn on this forum since I just bought my first iPhone and am trying to figure all this out.  I need to be able to carry a power source with me when I am away from electrical outlets and such.
    Any input is mucho appreciatedo!   Thanks!

    Thanks Peter, but what I am looking for is something like http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Battery-Powered-Emergency-Flashlight/dp/B003ZUPDR 2.  I would like an external pack that takes batteries and can be quickly used to recharge my iPhone 5.  There are a lot of them like this one on the market but I need to figure out the power specifics needed for the iPhone 5.  I will also be buying these for gifts for about 45 people for an event this summer so I am doing the testing with my iPhone and hoping to find something like this.

    Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.
