KM Switch (Video not needed) or software solution
*Short version* - I need a USB switch that will allow me to share just my keyboard and mouse with my 3 PCs. Anyone know of one that works good and has that "sniffing" feature as to reduce any USB delay. I tried a 4 port Belkin USB switch, but it wasn't good. I want a KM only hardware or software solution that is convenient and supports my mouse's back button and does not have scrolling issues.
Thanks for any input...
*More details* - I have a monitor on my mac and a monitor on my xp machine. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 4 port, DVI, USB KVM switch. I already have a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch and I am using it for my windows PCs. I am only using the video from it to switch between the windows PCs. I just want to be able to use my Mac keyboard and mouse (logitech) on all my PCs. I first tried using RDP, but I was not able to use the back button and had some scrolling issues that were unacceptable. Next I decided I would buy a Belkin 4 port USB switch. I just returned it because besides being a bad solution, the mouse locked up continuously. I then tried using KMremoteControl, but I am having trouble getting the license to activate (I emailed the company). From what I understand it is a free program, but they still sell it? Not sure what thats all about, but that also does not allow the back function on my mouse. Basically the best thing is for me to unplug the keyboard and plug it into each computer as I use it. Does anyone know of a good switch, so I don't have to do that? One that is compatible with windows of coarse and has a simple method of switching. The Mac usb extension cable was also incompatible with the Belking switch. Not sure why apple makes such a short cable in the first place.
For anyone who has read this, thank you, I appreciate it.
I have figured out why KMremote was not activating. I installed wireshark to sniff the network and I noticed some DNS issues during the activation process. For some reason it didnt like using my Linksys router as a DNS forwarder. I added the direct comcast DNS entries and it now works. I still dont have the back button on my mouse, but this is the best solution.
Thanks and hopefully this can help someone else.

For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in .avi!!
Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
Download the free VLC Player from here:

Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons. -
Hi. I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd (I'm very disappointed about that.) The photos are stored in my iphoto and I can burn a dvd using idvd but there is no audio So.... I need new software. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and my digital still camera is the Canon Cybershot These are home movies of my kids and the viedeos are precious. Thanks in advance!
Canon Cybershot
I can't trace a camera of that name. All that comes up is either the Sony Cybershot or the Canon Powershot!
Please confirm excactly what camera you have, and what version of iMovie. -

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package. -

Software Update Point Switching is not working for some Clients
Hi there,
I found nothing similar here and I hope this is the right section.
I´m running ConfigMgr 2012 R2 where one of the Site Systems from one of the Primaries is located in an untrusted Forest in a perimeter Network. The Site System there has the MP, SUP and DB Roles. In general it works great. The Systems in that untrusted Forest
get the SCCM Agent pushed, see and can install published Software packages and receive Windows Updates. But there are a few systems where everything works, except Windows Updates.
So I had a deeper look at what is happening and found out that the SUP switching is not working for them. They always try to contact the SUP from the Primary, which they cannot reach (this is intended).
From how I understand SUP switching as described here
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/software-update-points-in-cm2012sp1.aspx#pi140062=1
the Windows Update Agent tries to connect to a SUP every 30 minutes and after 4 failed attempts he will try to connect to the next one until he finds one which works.
As I said before, this seems to work for most systems in the untrusted forest, but some do not make any intentions to switch the SUP.
So my next step was to find out from where the Update Agent can get the information of the available SUPs. I think they either don´t receive the information that other SUPs exist, or if the Information is there, they don´t realize that there´s an error and
make no attempt to switch.
I used the System Center Support Center to gather all Information from some of the systems with that problems (Log Files, WMI information, registry information, policies etc.) but I cannot find where SCCM or the Update Agent store the information which SUPs
are available in my environment.
I´m sure the problem is on the Systems which fail to connect to the right SUP and not in the SCCM infrastructure itself, because for most of the systems everything is working just perfect. Unfortunately in the Blog Post above there´s also no information
where this information is stored and how it is obtained by the clients. In the comments there´s even one post which describes the same problem I have here, but there was no answer. I hope someone can point me into the right direction, because I´m stuck currently.
Things I tried additionally to all the log file / WMI / registry sniffing:
Removing the Software Distribution Folder and restarting the Windows Update Agent
Removing the WindowsUpdate Registry folder in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Windows section in the Registry and restarting the Windows Update Agent.
Tried to reset the WUAgent with wuauclt /Resetauthorization additionally to the steps above.
I also tried to manually set the WUServer and WUStatusServer Keys in the registry to the new Server, but as soon as the next Update Scan cycle runs, the value is set back to the URL of the Primary Sites SUP
Is someone having additional ideas? It seems to me older systems are more affected (which were configured for a standard WSUS before SCCM 2012 was deployed) than newer ones which were installed when SCCM was in place already. But I don´t know what else to
"reset" on those machines without reinstalling them.Thank you very much for your response. I must have missed that one by looking through numerous Logfiles. In this, there´s indeed a list of all available SUPs. So according to the LocationServices.log the machine should have a choice.
The WMI Key however, contains just one entry and this is the URL of the Primaries SUP which is not reachable in the untrusted forest. Is it OK that the WMI entry includes only one entry? If yes, what process is putting the results from the LocationServices
into WMI? It seems like the Windows Update Agent is feeded from the WMI Key then. If this is the case my problems seems to be the "communication path" between these two components.
Is this the job from the SCCM Agent, the Windows Update Agent or maybe some third component I´m not aware of? I wonder how I can fix this. -
I just purchased Time Capsule today. I ONLY want to use it as an external drive. I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!
I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
And the OS on the computer is Lion?
Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
Give us the full picture of the network.
Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question. -
Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).
my external hard disk have the next features:
brand: Seagate
4TB
I do not know if I need some software such as: paragon or I need to configure my MAC,
Please help me..
Thanks a lotClick on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.
Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
Single App - $19.99/month
Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan. -
I need easy audio and video converting and editing software?
I need easy audio and video converting and editing software that wont cost $400.
I highly recommend you try Video Monkey. It's free, though donations are certainly accepted, and does an excellent job of converting .mov to .wmv. Choose Best (2 Pass) for Encoding Speed and depending upon the size of your original file, uncheck 320 pixels wide to create a larger converted image. I set Quality to "Go Nuts".
Another good commercial program is Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. It works as video converter and editor. The version for 2 Pass conversion is approximately $69. , which is considerably less than the $400+ that Adobe Premiere is asking for its editor. I'd still prefer a freebie though, but there's little choice... -

Deleting not needed objects after impl. of a solution
Hello everyone,
some time back, we developed a solution in BW7.0. All queries, reports are working fine.
We don't need to feed our data targets anymore. In order to keep these upward queries operational, We want to keep only needed objects i.e. cubes, Multiproviders, DSOs...etc while delete everything else which are not needed like DSOs, transformations, routines, DTPs, Process chains...etc.
What could be no. of steps to consider and how to access the impact of deleting any object. Any guidelines?
Thanks
AhsanHi,
Thanks for replying. We don't need to update data. Queries are using data from certain Multiproviders where data are residing in IC, DSOs and InfoObjects.
Main thing to check is: if an Active table of a DSO is being used in any routine of another transformation or anywhere else which we don't want to delete. This is like doing the impact analysis of a deletion of a DSO. If a DSO being used under MP1 and here we say we want to delete it, but then may be this DSO is being used under MP4 where we want to keep it, end decision keep the DSO.
Following a post on SDN, I checked in RSAABAP table by giving active table of a certain DSO and it shows no entries. But I am sure we have used this DSO's active table in some routines.
Any input, please share
Thanks -
