Just what does it take to use a 3 TB hard drive.

I recently purchased my first 3 TB hard drive.
When I tried it in several external hard drive enclosures (FireWire 800) I found that only about 800 GB was recognized.
I then slid the same 3 TB drive internally into my Intel Mac Pro. Inside the Mac Pro the full 3 TB was recognized. After formatting the drive in the Mac Pro I put the drive back in the external FireWire enclosure, and still only 800 GB was recognized.
I am trying to understand where the bottleneck is. Do I need a more up-to-date external enclosure? Is it software?
If you have experience with this issue, please report.

It's the enclosure all right.
I only found one enclosure that can handle 3TB.

But I don't care for it. No cooling fan. (Scroll down and look at the pics.)
This is a terrific enclosure but has a 2TB max.

I think I will put the 3TB drive away for a while until the enclosure world can catch up.
This unit will be 3TB soon. http://www.newertech.com/products/voyagerq.php

What does it take to use an iphone 5 in Europe?

I live in the US and am going to Italy in a few weeks (just for 10 days or so) and I have just purchased an Iphone 5 with a data plan (not interrnational plan). I was told once in Italy it would work if I go under 1. general settings 2. hit roaming on next screem 3. For International CDMA turn on. I understand calls are very expensive once the international roaming is turned and I only plan to 2 or 3 calls of an emergency nature. The phone will be turned off the rest of the time I am in Europe.
So will this work?

To the best of my knowledge, there are no CDMA carriers at all in Europe.
If you have an unlocked iPhone 5 or a Verizon iPhone 5 (the SIM slot is unlocked on the Verizon iPhone 5) you can just pick up a local SIM when you arrive in Italy and put it in the phone. There are companies that sell special plans and SIM cards for travellers that often include data and a U.S. phone number that your friends back home can call and be routed through to you, and some even include free or low cost calling to the U.S.
You can also ask your carrier about what international plans they have available for you to use while travelling.

What cable hookup should I use for DAT to hard drive conversion

Hi,
I have a Fostex D5 Dat machine with xlr & optical digital outputs and analog I/O right/left channels. I want to get these DAT tapes into my iMac (I have Logic 7 and will simply be using it to copy these to an external drive and then later master them. My goal is to get the music off the DAT tapes and onto the drive).
I also have an M-Audio Firewire Solo with s/pdif O/I and balanced RCA line outputs and unbalanced RCA line inputs. I will use this to interface with the iMac using the firewire connection to get the audio onto the disc.
My question relates to what is the best hookup I can use with this equipment and these I/Os for the best sound/signal? I've transferred a few songs using this setup: XLR cable from DAT analog output to the unbalanced line inputs on the Firewire solo then Firewire Solo to iMac through the fire wire.
Is there an XLR to S/PDIF cable I can run from the digital XLR on the DAT into the S/PDF input on the Firewire Solo? If I go out from the digital XLR on the DAT to the Firewire Solo I will be putting the R & L channels into one track (Firewire Solo inputs are #1 & #2 which give you the stereo R & L tracks.
I want to be sure to get the best quality transfer I have but I'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks,
Bob

hi bob, the XLR out is AES/EBU standard and can be connected to the rca s/p dif socket with a special adapter lead. best way to go. least amount of jitter. don't do analog here unless there is really no other way.

What does it take to build smart card applications?

Just out of interest I was wondering what does it take to build smart card applications:
- Can I do it at home with my PC or do I have to have access to expensive hardware?
- How difficult is it to master given that I do it on my own with no help. Does it involve a lot of hardware issues?
- If hardware is required (a smart card and a cable connection), where do I get it and how much does it cost?

Let me rephrase my question.
I understand that the deployment process may not be so easy. That does not disturb me.
I just want to know whether I'll experience hardware probelms. If reading/writing to the card involves putting it inside and taking it outside from the device just like a floppy disk without any complications, then I don't have any worries.
By the way, does the reader device is used for both reading AND writing?

What does it take to get an app on the Ovi store?

What does it take to get an app on the ovi store? There are so many apps available that are not included in the ovi store.... like "s60spoton" It allows you to use your cameras flash as a flash light! I've been wanting this forever. If this app was easily available on the Ovi store, I would have been able to find it easily... but it was linked to me in a forum.
Why are there so many useful apps not cataloged in the Ovi store?

It's the maker of an apps responsibility to get it listed on the store so if it's not on there it's because the maker hasn't put it there.
Nokia cannot put apps on the store without the makers consent.
Only the maker/publisher of an app can tell you why their app isn't on the store. It may be for financial reasons, legal reasons, licensing issues, piracy concerns or they may just have ceased development and moved on.
The ovi store isn't the only source of applications and some developers prefer to use independant sites like www.getjar.com instead.

What does it take

Hey guys
I have iCaht AV 2.1 and a Powerbook g4 etc etc and I am trying to set up a chat with my Dad in Australia on an IBM thinkpad running Windows XP and AIM Trillion or whatever it is.
What does it take to ACTUALLY have a 2-way Video chat coz NOTHING we are doing is working.... I have read REAMS of stuff on this forum - Ralph has established my computer can actually recieve and send both video and audio... but it just will NOT work. What is the BEST modem and broadband provider here in the UK and in Australia???
What does it take to actually make it work???
If nothing works - I want my money back from buying a completely USELESS iSight to do this..... It would be easier to book satellite time and use a flyaway kit complete with crews either end than to try to use this to have 2-ways......
AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
G4 PowerBook 1.25gHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Among the reams, have you looked at Mac Video Chat with PCs?
Both of you should test with others. You can find some robot ("Autoresponder") and human Buddy Names for iChat Test here if you need them. Testing will help you find whose system needs the most attention.
Since you have now apparently connected with Ralph, it seems your computer can connect. Has your Dad tried others? Perhaps the problem is at Dad's end. If so, the list of things for the PC to check in my link above should be helpful.
Check your Broadband Speed. Some Australian broadband can be on the slow side. Therefore, if your Dad already subscribes to the maximum bandwidth that is available from his Australian ISP, he should be particularly careful that his AIM "Video Quality" is not set too high (as explained in the "Mac Video Chat with PCs" link.)

Encore: what does it take to get an input legal?

I know this is a bit off topic from Premiere SDK but since there is no Encore (highly technical) forum I thought it best to post here instead of emailing Zac directly (so that others may learn the answer).

What does it take to get my service cancelled?

I am trying to find out what it will take to get my account cancelled... I called more than a week in advance of my move to set up the cancellation of my FIOS home service and was assured that was all I needed to do; I would receive my final bill in the mail. However, a week after I moved, my account was charged and my autopay paid my bill of nearly $200 for services this month in a home I no longer live in, for an account that should no longer be active. I called and spoke with no fewer than 12 agents over that week, including someone who after 43 minutes of being passed around HUNG UP on me! Finally I spoke with someone who was helpful and said my account was deactivated, and in about 14 business days I should get a refund check in the mail. Well, three weeks later, my account has still not been cancelled and I have not gotten my refund! I just called again and spoke with an agent who told me he couldn't help me and I needed to call back another office on Monday. It has been nearly a month since I moved and this account was supposed to be cancelled and I still cannot get anyone to just stop the account! What does it take at Verizon to end my service???

What does it Take... What is the Wizer Move?

What does it take? What is the Wiser Move?
Currently we are running Oracle EBS 11.5.10 with an RDBMS 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 32 bit. We would like to get to a 64 bit OS and we are looking at 64 bit Linux or Windows. I am interested in two main areas.
1.     Where is the path of lease resistance/easiest moving from Windows 32 bit to Windows 64 bit or Linux 64 bit? At first glance you would think Windows 32 bit to Windows 64 bit.
2.     What it the “Best” path. In the long run I would think we would be better off going Windows 32 bit to Linux 64 bit, but what would that take.
Any thoughts are welcome.

Hi Chris,
1.     Where is the path of lease resistance/easiest moving from Windows 32 bit to Windows 64 bit or Linux 64 bit? At first glance you would think Windows 32 bit to Windows 64 bit.You cannot run Oracle Apps 11i on Windows 64-bit OS as the application tier is not certified to run on this OS. For the database, it is possible by following the steps in (Note: 369693.1 - Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 10g Release 2). Also, please see (Note: 343917.1 - Frequently Asked Questions: Oracle E-Business Suite Support on x86-64).
2.     What it the “Best” path. In the long run I would think we would be better off going Windows 32 bit to Linux 64 bit, but what would that take.You will have to use export/import to move the database -- See (Note: 362205.1 - 10g Release 2 Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i) for details, and (Note: 238276.1 - Migrating to Linux with Oracle Applications Release 11) for the application tier node.

It will "cost" whatever data usage you incur while using it, either through the cell network, or wifi.

I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
