Mac user locks files for Windows users on NFS shares

Hi Everyone,
We run a mostly Windows environment here at my school and have two AD servers which also do our file shares for AD users. Every user has a network drive mapped to L on Windows, and this is mounted on the dock of our Mac users (all Macs are bound to the AD for auth and the OD for management). We also have shared folders for different groups of people, such as admissions or art (where the issue is). Most of these divisions are only Windows, so file sharing isn't and issue - but this is not the case in our Art department.
We have a shared folder (T on Windows) setup for users of the Art department with mostly Office docs in it. Windows users can write to the share just fine, just as the Mac users can. The issue comes up once a Mac user edits and saves the file (all to the share) - Windows users are now locked out of the file because the permissions are reset. What can we do to fix this issue? It's obnoxious having to go and reset the permissions after every edit from a Mac user.
Thanks,
-MRCUR

We also have that same problem. We don't actually solved the issue but we what we do did is just unlock the files once and even they are edited or opened in windows or mac, it does not lock the file. We use windows pc and connect to the drives and just simply right clicking the file then properties a button will show in the properties window saying "unlock". After we did that, those files was never locked out again.

Trouble converting Mac Quicktime audio files for Windows ITunes

I tried convereting them to AAC files on the import. They seemed to "play" but there was no audio. I then did MP3 conversion and got MPEG files with the same results. Grateful for any help.

quicktime files themselves are compatible between OSs. Unless you are trying to read a Mac formatted disc with a Windows machine. try burning to CD the reading with other system.

Mac Lock Files on Windows File Server.

Hi Pro,
got some problem with Mac based design studio who have some weird issues with files locking on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. After investigation, it is 100% a file locking issue. Some programs including preview, acrobat, indesign, finder or opening files (assuming locking them) and not releasing. Killing all the programs or remounting the share is working (releasing all lock files) but it's only a workaround not a fix. Do you any hints ? or Solutions ? all 10.7.3 Mac, using SMB protocol on a windows 2008 R2 File server.
Thanks to all !!!

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.
iCloud: Share a calendar with others

Help with PDF formsmaking them work for Windows users

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.
I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."
Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):
http://www.braintoniq.com/dropbox/test.pdf
Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.
thank you!

tuqqer;
Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.
Best.

How do I save a spreadsheet/ doc/ presentation in a format compatible for windows users in X mavericks?

If you have iWork applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), they can export documents / spreadsheets / presentations in formats compatible with Microsoft Office.
Otherwise, you can purchase Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 or Microsoft Office 365 (or Pages and Numbers and Keynote) for your Mac.

When I attach a file in my email it is embedded. How do I just attach the file. Windows users would like to be attached not embedded how do I that.

I suspect that your Windows pals are using an e-mail program from the Stone Age.
In the last 10 years or so most people prefer to read attachments “in-line”. This allows text and images to be intermixed allowing an easier method of explaining things.
When I am dealing with a old-fashioned, obsolete Windows user that is using an older e-mail program I simply put all the attachments at the very end of the e-mail. This will make it appear more normal to them.
Not all Windows programs work in this primitive fashion. But as Mac users, we have become more accustomed to the modern methods of viewing attachments in-line.

Do I can create a page who is locked just for selected user?

The manner how you put files on the server is unimportant.
It's the Webserver (usually Apache) itself that does the protecting.
So either use the control panel where you host your website, or use the method explained on the page I linked to.
Should look like this (on the left) :

Use : root/root

MacAir - error message "This version of itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english version" Saw other answers for windows users, I have a MacAir. never used any other language but English

Trying to open iTunes - get an error message saying "This version of itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english version" Saw other answers for windows users, I have a MacAir. never used any other language but English so I have no clue what the problem is. I just want to update my phone and back it up.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Locks list for a user session

Hello,
Is there a function module or class/method which will give me the list of all locks of a user in the current session and not across all sessions (like transaction SM12). Function modules like ENQUE_READ and ENQUE_READ2 provides the lock list for a user across all sessions but not in the seesion in which the FM is being executed.
Please let me know if you have any information in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh

Setting of init.ora file for 500 users

how to set diffrents parameters in init.ora file
for 500 user
(hybrid system)(oltp+dss)
thanks

Yeah, it depends and you will need to adjust thoses parameters during the "life" of the database.
I give you some of my thoughts (that's just thoughts, not a rule => there is no perfect rule) :
500 users = Unix box i guess so :
If MTS (dont think u need MTS for 500 users) => SGA = 75% of the RAM of the server
If NOT MTS (dedicated processes) => SGA = 50% of the RAM
Say 2GB of RAM on no MTS :
buffer cache = 900 MB
shared pool = 100MB to 200 MB
sort_area_size = 256KB
something like 50 to 100 RBS (depends on how many users are connected simultaneously)
for the users which will not do some OLTP operations, you should make few BIG RBS and assign their transactions to them. for thoses users, you probably need a bigger sort_area_size.
all the tablespaces LOCALLY MANAGED
backup with RMAN
