UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) boot requires Global unique identifier Partition Table (GPT) as opposed to the older Master Boot Record (MBR). If your existing drive is formatted in MBR, you will need to adjust BIOS settings to enable legacy boot in order for it to work properly.
Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.
5. No special drivers are needed.
Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?
7. I think Lenovo estimates 6 hours.
Lenovo says 6 hours with the 6-cell battery on its website.

Hi,
There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

Best setup for external drives and backup

I'm using Aperture to organize several thousand photos. I've gotten good advice her before about how to get started on this. I'm not a professional and I'm not an experienced user of Aperture, so don't assume a lot of knowledge when you answer. I'm wondering what the best way to set up the file storage would be. I use a MacBook Pro, so obviously that's out for storage, and financially, purchasing a more powerful desktop is out for the time being. I was thinking of purchasing a mirror drive system, like this: http://www.newertech.com/products/gmax.php
But then, there still remains the problem of backing up the photos in case of a fire or theft, etc. I have many of them on DVD, but not with all the metadata that I've added. Can I back the external drives up to a cloud-based storage system through the wireless on the MacBook?
Or, is the answer none of the above? What recommendations do you folks have for managing this?

Paula-
Mirror drives are very much less than ideal for images backup. Mirroring occurs in real-time, so errors, breaks, etc. simply get copied. With images work (unlike fanancial work, for instance) we do not need real-time backup we just need regular accurate backup. Just have 2-3 external drives and rotate them regularly, always having one drive off-site (could be in your car or whatever). Back up manually rather than automatically so that you can be reasonably certain that the backup is not backing up something that just broke.
I suggest the below workflow. Note that most important is that original images from the camera card are copied to two locations before reformatting the card and before importing into Aperture or any other images management application.
Original images never change, so I prefer to manually copy them to two locations asap after capture: one location is the computer drive and the other is an external backup HD that itself gets backed up off site regularly. That assures me that "the pic is in the can." Until two digital files exist on different media I do not consider the pic in the can.
Then reformat the card in-camera, not before.
The Masters then get imported into Aperture from the Mac internal drive by reference (i.e. "Storing Files: in their current location" on the Mac internal drive). After editing is complete (may take weeks or months), from within Aperture I relocate the referenced Masters to an external hard drive for long-term storage.
I do use Time Machine routinely on the MBP, but for the daily-volatile activities going of the MBP. I prefer not to have TM be my backup-of-originals protocol. Instead TM backs up the Mac internal drive on the TM schedule and I back up original images asap based on my shooting schedule. Also the TM drive is a different drive than the drives used for long-term original image files archiving.
TM does back up my Library because the Library lives on the Mac internal drive but I do not assume that TM works for Library backup. I back the Library up to Vaults (on the same drives I put archives of Masters on) independent of TM. IMO one should back up image files and back up Vaults manually after verifying that what is being backed up is not broken, because automatic backup will just back up a broken Library or whatever.
Note that Masters need only be backed up once (but to multiple backup locations) and that backup should happen immediately after copying to the hard drive from the camera card, before involving Aperture or any other images management app.
Sorry for the redundant verbosity above but some was copied from previous posts. Also, I reinforce what Léonie said about DVDs. DVDs are way too slow, unreliable, etc. Instead rotate multiple hard drives to achieve redundancy.

Apple terms for thumb drive & userID

Hi there.
I'm working on some Mac end-user docs, but have only ever written for Wintel PCs and UNIX. My boss says I need to make this guide as familiar-looking as possible to Mac users.
I've consulted the Apple Publications Style Guide and got a lot of good info there, but I'm stuck for a couple of terms:
Thumb drive/flash drive: What is the normal term for a USB-connected flash drive? The APSG lists flash memory, but referring to memory cards - SD, CF etc., not an actual USB-connected device.
UserID: Is this term frowned upon? Should we always say "user name"?
Is there a good PC/Mac bilingual dictionary somewhere? I've tried googling, but didn't find anything very helpful except for a book by O'Reilly. I was hoping not to have to pay $30+ for the info.
TIA for any help or suggestions.

Have you looked here: USB flash drive?
While not the definitive answer to all, Wikipedia certainly reflects how the term is commonly used.
Apple does refer to a "Flash Drive" in this document: USB and FireWire Quick Assist

Time Capsule backup strategy for multiple drives and OS

I'd like a backup strategy based on Time Capsule but have a few twists from a straightforward situation and would appreciate any guidance with setting it up. My hardware situation is:
- Two MacBooks, on 10.5, one with an 80 gb drive, the other with a 120 gb drive.
- One G4 iMac, on 10.4, with a 60 gb drive
- One LaCie NAS drive, used primarily as the storage space for music and video, and currently not backed up anywhere (making me nervous!)
Ideally I'd like each of these four units to be backed up on Time Capsule; and my configuration questions are in two areas:
1) Backup software: I'll use Time Machine to backup the MacBooks, but not sure about the G4 and NAS drive. These could be backed up on a more ad hoc basis (I don't need hourly updates). Is this best handled with a third party app like SuperDuper to allow for incremental backups?
2) Partition/disk image: is it wise (or indeed necessary) to create partitions for each of the above sources (I gather from reading other posts is seems the best way to achieve a partition is to create a disk image). I'm not sure if there would be any unintended consequences by doing so (or not),and if so if a sparse image disk image is better than a sparse bundle disk image given the above, so any guidance to help make sure it's set up as flexibly as possible from the outset would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

G'day Michael,
Sounds like it is time to buy OS X Server!!!!
I think you are on the right track. As a "left field" suggestion, why not get two big drives, and use one of them as a file server. Get everyone to use the file server for any critical documents that they want backed up centrally/continuously. Then back the file server system up onto the other big drive using TM.
This reduces administration somewhat, and privacy can be retained with careful username management across the network.
Assuming that the three MacBooks are similarly configured from a system perspective, there is not a lot of point in having full bootable clone's of each one. Perhaps create a bootable clone from one of them each week - and clone the other two into disk images (which are not bootable, but are restorable) as frequently as needed.
Cheers,
Rodney

PCIe card for eSATA drives - and 10.6

Help !!!!
I have 15 1TB external hard drives - in three 5-bay DAT Optic enclosures. They are on my Mac Pro (2009) - and they house tens of thousands of photographs for clients.
The external drives run from a PCIe card - using a Silicon Image driver ... SiI3124
http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?pid=27
My copy of Snow Leopard will arrive on Monday .. and now I learn that SiI3124 is not supported under 10.6. That makes it unusable for me.
Does anyone know of a PCIe card that can run eSATA drives under 10.6 ???
I can't believe that 10.6 was released without a driver to support external hard drives - other than consumer USB boxes.
Sometimes I fear that Apple is becoming a music store - and forgetting its role in supporting the graphics industry that helped found it. PCs run Photoshop faster than do Mac Pros with CS4 -- and now I can't even store my images with 10.6 !!!!!!!!
What a huge disappointment !!!!!!!!!

Use the Sonnet tech cards, they have a 10.6 compatibility matrix in the support section of their site. Yes, I paid more for the card when I got it, but I haven't had any headaches with it at all. I guess you get what you pay for.
This is good advice for both PCIe and Expresscard. I have discussed this with Sonnet and I think they regret the cheap/expensive strategy owing to the lack of support on SI drivers. They did lower the price on the Expresscard/34 Pro by 1/3 , or $100.
I still have their E2P (PCIe Si 2 port based card) and an Expresscard/34 (non-Pro) available cheap for anyone who thinks Si drivers are a good value.
The new 64 bit driver will be nice for the handful that run in a true 64 bit boot situation which won't be many and is not really necessary at all anyway. OF course if you have one 32 bit driver you need then that won't be a viable option.

Nominal configuration for boot drive and internal RAID setup

Hello, I'd appreciate some advice on the following please.
I'm planning the build of a Mac Pro to act mainly as a photo editing workstation.
Considering the following disc setup:
Bay 1. 500GB with two partitions - 150GB for OS X and remaining for applications
Bay 2. 250GB XP/Vista for occasional use. All Windows apps/data quarantined on this disk.
Bays 3 and 4. 2x 500GB RAID0 (backed up externally) for data and workspace.
WRT RAM, I've read that 4 matched DIMMs in the same riser is the optimal config, so looking at 4x 1GB.
I'd be grateful for any comments as to whether I'm on the right track here.
Thanks
Ben
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I set up a similar configuration for photo editing. First, partitions are not as useful as they were in the pre OS X era. Just load your OS and all applications on the same drive as there is no benefit, as far as I know, to separating them into partitions. Second, your 4 X 1GB RAM should be split between the two risers, not on the same riser. Put two DIMMs in the first two slots of each riser. 4 X 1GB hits a sweet spot in the cost/benefit analysis as long as you don't need more than 4GB. I use Lightroom extensively and 4GB is plenty.

Payment terms for the customers and vendors

Dear FI Experts
Generally vendoru2019s payment terms purpose we will use document date and customers payment term purpose we will use posting date.
My query is what the logic behind this was, kindly explain this logic.
Regards,
venkataswamy

Hi,
For vendor, we store the invoice date of the vendor in the document date field and vendor generally specifies the payment term in their invoices based on their invoice date.
So we generally use the decoument date (vendor invoice date) for payment term calculation.
Whereas in case of customer, we issue the invoice and generally the invoice date is the posting date of our system, so we use the posting date for calculating the payment term. The customer have to pay according to out payment term to get the discounts etc.
I hope it is clear.
Regards,
Gaurav

Best tool for cloning drive and regular back-ups

A 500gb 7200.4 seagate drive just arrived, and I'm intending on cloning the 500gb 5400rpm stock drive in my 15" 2.8ghz unibody MBP to the 7200.4 (attached in a 2.5 SATA USB enclosure), and then using the 7200.4 as the main drive, once I've found time time to install it internally. Once I've done that, the 5400rpm stock drive will be used for regular back-ups via completely cloning the upgraded internal disk.
I have CCC installed, but I've rarely used it, and I've noticed that the OS X disk services appears to have a 'create image' option. And then there's Time Machine, which I know very little about. The most important thing is that I need a bootable disk which, in theory, could simply be installed in a new machine and I'll be right where I left off. Which is the best back-up tool for this?

Hi Neil,

CCC is a very good tool for what you gave in mind. SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html is another one in the same league.
Time Machine is a good backup tool, since it backups once the complete content of your OSX harddisk and further on only the changed files.
It can also be used the restore the OSX but for this you have to boot from the OSX DVD.
To me using CCC or SuperDuper would be exactly what you are looking for:
Making a bootable clone onto your external HD, from which you can either boot-up your Mac or simply reinstall the external HD in your Mac.

Oracle equivalent relation terms for History Notes and Abbreviation

Hi,
We are trying to migrate from Basis 9 database to Oracle 10g. The biggest challenge isto build a oracle thesaurus similar to the one in Basis.
In Basis we have relations History Notes(HN) and Abbreviation(AB). I am not able to find equivalent relation in Oracle. Recently I got the ANSI Z39.19 Guidelines document from one of the forum contributor, which mentions about the relations History Notes and Abbreviation. I am not able to load the relation HN. ctxload is stopping at this term with the error DRG-11706: invalid relation HN.
Does anyone know if there is any equivalent relation in Oracle Thesaurus for HN and AB?
Thanks

Thanks so much for the answers.
Auto Lexer is a indexing element, which I could use for a column. I need abbreviations stored in my system schema so that multiple database instances could access these thesaurus terms. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I thought of the same solution for HN Brian. I am thinking of putting a tag HN to identify them later for display. Abbreviations are more specific and SYN could be general to a term. If I substitute AB with SYN, I am afraid I will loose the data collected by users over the years. I am thinking of putting them in the dr$ths_fphrase table as AB:. The constraint I have here is, thesaurus management tool that comes with Oracle 10g considers all the terms in this table, as terms in different thesaurus. I have changed the code to handle it but I am not sure if I am deviating from the standard practice.
Your feedback on this is much appreciated.
Thanks again

Looking for some information and help

To all,
Can run run the Oracle e-business suite on the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g? Is it hard ti install for a non-db?
Thank You

You cannot run EBS on 11g Express Edition as EBS requires many features not available on Express Edition, let alone the fact that an "empty" EBS install takes up several hundred Gigs of disk (Express is limited to 11G database size). The EBS install media includes an Enterprise Edition of the database.

Is this install for personal learning ? If so, you wil need a pretty beefy server to get acceptable performance - multiple CPUs (or at least 6 or 8 core CPU), with at least 8G of RAM, and 1TB of disk. It would be easiest to install a VM on this server (like Virtualbox), then create a Linux VM, install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.x in the VM and then install EBS 12.1.1

Raw Search Terms for "Spotlight Comment" and "Locked" Status

Is it possible to do a raw search for a specific Spotlight Comment. I know the option exists in the Other… dialog box, but I need to find files that do not contain comments which is not choice.
Also, is there any way to find only files that are unlocked?

If you go to Others and select Raw Query you can use it find items with a specific comment, and items without any comment. For example, if you have the comment "testme" in the Spotlight field you would paste this into the Raw Query field:
kMDItemFinderComment == "testme"
and all files with that comment would be found. To find files in a folder that contain NO comment at all, you would use this:
kMDItemFinderComment != "*"
Be warned though: when I tried this on a folder with only 5 items in it, 4 with comments and one without. it worked, returning the lone uncommented file, but it took an amazingly long time to do so (perhaps a minute, while the search for "testme" was instantaneous).
The "File readable" and "File writeable" functions shown in Others, which presumably are what one would use to find locked files, simply do not work. This is not surprising since the information about whether a file is locked or not does not in fact appear in a file's metadata. I guess that will be a future addition. You can use find in Terminal to search for files that are locked/unlocked. Let me know if you really want to do this.

Are you located in the U.S.? If not, where? Country only is enough so we can link you to a source for hard drive and memory.
Page 62 for the hard drive and 66 for the Memory.
You need to open the memory door and see if you have one 4 gig stick or 2 x 2. If you have 1 x 4 you just need to get another to have 8. If you have 2 x 2 you need to get 2 x 4.
You need DDR3-1333 mhz SO-DIMM memory and you need a 2.5 inch wide 9.5 mm thick SATA hard drive. 2 TB drives are not really available in the market. 1 TB is about as big as you are going to find out there.
