Maximun LUN size for non-MAC SAN

Hi.
I am trying to configure a PPC Mac Xserve to utilize storage space on a non-mac SAN (Compellent). I successfully setup the original volume on the SAN as a 2TB volume, zoned it through the Qlogic switch and mounted it on the Xserve.
Now I need to increase the size of that volume to 3TB. I unmounted the volume on the Xserve, deleted and recreated it on the SAN, and then tried remounting it on the Xserve. The Xserve detects the new volume, but only sees 2TB of space. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to see anything more than 2TB.
I thought the 10.4.10 FS (HFS+ Journaled) could see well over 2TB? Is there a LUN limitation? The only reference to this that I saw, was a limitation with older versions of the XSAN software.
Thank you.
Tim

Gallery for non .mac?

Is Web gallery even an option for non .mac domains? I host my personal website on godaddy and am wondering if the coolness that is the new Web .mac gallery can be "published" to godaddy.

Hi Dave, the beauty about ajax+XML is exactly that you don't need a complicated markup to render flashy pages, the XML part is handled by iPhoto itself and you just need the script to do whatever it wants with your photos, trust me, you don't need a .Mac account or anything more that the script and a plain and common web server, there's no behind-the-scenes magic.
But don't trust me, go here: http://www.ontoinfo.com/2006/09/22/javascript-flying-pictures-effect/ follow the instructions, make sure to copy the script from their link at their second paragraph and just paste it on your address bar, and that's a ONE-LINE script, much smaller that a tiny picture in size, and you can run that script on any website on the web, provided they got many pictures so you can enjoy it, no special web server or behind-the-scenes magic, just paste it on your address bar.
It's common to find stuff that you hadn't upload on most web servers, and I don't think Apple would be so naive to put them freely available on user accounts.
I don't spend my lunch uploading a gallery either, I just use the free Picasa plug-in on iPhoto and it gets uploaded in a couple of minutes, it may not be that flashy, but has more features and control than .Mac, Picasa as you might know is Google, and they master at web applications (ajax too BTW).
I was a .Mac user for years when it was free and even when they made it a pay service I stayed for a year, still in my own opinion not worthy. Also I got three iPods, The one I use everyday (a 60GB) is full and have never paid a premium or a subscription for it, iTMS is not available in my country for that matter, but if it were, I would gladly pay .99 for a song, but not $69 for a script and 10 useless GB (that's me).
Yes I've tried iWeb twice, once when it came out and the other a week ago, I didn't like it then, and a week ago found it pretty disappointing, some new stuff but still renders the most horrible markup ever, a simple page takes 10 times to render. Rapidweaver does a much better job.
On the other hand, and despite the huge disappointment of iWeb, iMovie and the .Mac fiasco, I love iPhoto, it is really and noticeably faster and the keyword engine is great. Also I would pay $80 for Pages and Keynote each, and Numbers is a good start.

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?

The recent iWeb update to 1.1 and the now increasingly obvious differential between .mac and non .mac features has prompted me to post here today.
I can understand comments, passwords and search facilities being a .mac only experience because it requires server side technology. I can also understand that .mac users get enhanced features like slideshows as well.
But why is the fundamentally *basic* option to 'publish the changes only' not available to non .mac users?
I know uploading to .mac uses a different protocol to uploading via FTP, but I don't think it is about that. Obviously the software engine in iWeb 1.1 can now track the pages that have changed, and flag those for uploading. So if the facility to do this is not available with non .mac uploading, is this some form of crippleware? Can any software engineers comment on this or am I talking off the top of my head? [And please mods, don't delete this post - I use the word 'crippleware' in its harshest form, clearly I can still use iWeb to make fantastic websites - I am asking a technical question here.]

OK, from reading this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486335&tstart=0
There is a pattern: An error occurred while publishing file “/blah/blah", while file "/blah/blah" seems to be random from one person to the next, but they all share one thing and that is communication protocol.
For iWeb to be able to publish changes to .Mac, it has to:
1. identify if the file exists
2. do the following:
2a. if not exists, copy it to .Mac
2b. if exist, do some sort comparison - CRC checksum -
2b1. if checksums match, don't copy
2b2. if checksums don't match copy it to .Mac
At least I think that's what going on, I don't have .Mac so that is best I can think of. Perhaps, some Apple SW engineers can jump in here.
Now, the bad part is iWeb has to (and I'm assuming iWeb uses WebDAV):
1. go thru each file locally
2. crawl its way into .Mac (WebDAV is a slow protocol) to find the the counter part.
3. when it finds a file that matches a client side file, it has to (some how) do checksum on-the-fly across the net work (which is slow and congested)
#3 is I think where it failed, there are many factors here: 1) networks congestion 2) latency 3) protocol overhead 4) checksum calculation time etc...
iWeb eventually times out because any/all of the above.
It's nice that WebDAV can author to the host yada, yada, but it's so SLOOOOOW.
What I would do is for every publishing, I would build a files and their checksums keep it on the host (or local, must be hidden).
For subsequence publishing, I would (use a fast protocol like FTP) download this pre-built files/checksums list. Locally, do a full publishing, making checksum comparison, the result is delta changes; upload only those. Build a new files/checksums list upload that too.
What I mean to say is offload everything that is possible to local machine, bandwidth is PREMIUM!

Convert mov to format for non-mac family members!

I have 2 short videos that I need to convert so that non mac family members can view them. (I know, I should disown them). How do I do this? When I go to export and it appears that I am saving as jpeg, it doesn't work. Is jpeg only for stills?
Thanks!

JPEG is an image format.
Any modern machine can run the free QuickTime Player app and use it to view your iMovie exports.

Icloud for non-mac notebooks?

hello,
i have an ipad and a non-mac notebook. is it possible to use icloud with that pc. i have also itunes on it, that means i can sync songs, photos and potcast....

Are you asking regarding the currently available beta products? Yes. And according to the keynote iCloud will be PC compatible for the most part.

HT6312 iCloud Drive destroys collaboration with iworks for non Mac,iOS users?

I Have been trying to create our invoices, and client records using Numbers Beta because non Mac and non iOS users can access the files from any browser. That seems to be changing with iCloud Drive requiring a Mac OS that is not yet available and no Web app for Numbers unless you have an iCloud Drive. Any other users who use Numbers for a business collaboration purpose have a solution to this problem. I have already upgraded my iCloud to iCloud Drive with iOS 8 without completiely understanding the limitation. Apple Care offered to send me their FAQs for icloud...no thanks I already checked.

The following is from the OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 8 Release Notes:
iCloud Drive
Note
Migrating to iCloud Drive will disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.
Just don't shoot the messenger.
You might try using Dropbox for getting those documents out to those that need them.

Possible for non-Mac users to save and send iPhoto Mail images?

Will non-Mac users be able to download and save images sent from iPhoto via Mail? Of course they can see the images, but will they be able to save, send, and print them? Thanks.

The answer to the question is Yes, but...
A lot of people have problems because they don't understand their own email clients. The one way that is pretty much guaranteed to work is to send +only plain text emails+. It's the most basic form of email and it works.

Boot Lun size for W2012 installation

Is there a rule how big a boot lun must be for a W2012 server installation; server memory size, e.g. 64GB / 128GB / 256 GB / 512 GB
I have seen, that for a 512 GB size, a boot lun of 60GB is by far not enough.

Wont argue, taking time with customer I dont have to try and help you. Typically when the "Unable to install" message is up there its because the MS Installation CD is not currently mapped in the Virtual Media due to the Drivers CD being mapped. Map the drivers CD, install drivers for Storage->Cisco since we're using the VIC cards and booting from SAN. Once the fnic driver is installed I can see the LUN but it says cannot install to it. At this time I typically add a few more drivers to save time, like network for cisco, storage for LSI as well as chip set but you dont have to. With the error showing you go to virtual media, uncheck the map driver.iso file, check the box to map the MS installation cd/dvd again. Returning to the server installation the error still shows. At this time I now click refresh below the list of drives and once that refresh has completed the error is gone but a new one shows stating the LUN is too small and needs to be increased to 150GB. This size is because of page file required due to our memory amount, this will change based upon your memory for the blade, per microsofts documented amounts. However we still wanted 40GB for the bootable LUN so we clicked "Next" despite the error and it continues and starts the installation. This is our experiance, and at this customer site I have now done 22 servers this week, some 2008 and some are 2012 and all of them reacted the same, which is consistent with my past installs.

Default font and size for office mac O8. I prefer Times New Roman, size 12

I have OS 10 and Word Office Mac : 2008. I prefer using generally Times New Roman, size 12 but sometimes for some applications something called Calumbria (spelling?) comes up ... and then I have to search for in the long list for Times New Roman.
95 % of the time Times New Roman comes up and I it is fine but sometimes with new documents then I get this Calumbria thing that I don't want. Any help would be most appreciated. I hope my question makes sense.

Hi,
Would you please let me know if your OS version is Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 Essentials? If it’s Windows Server 2012, you’d better ask the question in the File Services and

Set display size for headless Mac Mini?

Hello.
I want to set the display on my Mac Mini (headless, control via ARD) to a widescreen setting, but since no monitor is attached, it doesn't give me the option for a widescreen display.
Any ideas how to force it to a widescreen display setting?
Thanks,
Kristin.

I found that online : http://www.macvroom.com/node/39
And I've used it once to set a mac mini to automatically switch to a non-standard resolution to display properly on some sort of strange flat-screen tv.
If you find additional info, please post for reference, can always be useful.

How to create a volume shortcut for non-mac keyboards? Sound control? F7?

Hello everybody,
This has been bothering me for a while. I have a third party editing keyboard and I would like to be able to control the volume with three keys just as the apple keyboards do.
I would like to make F6,F7 and F8: mute, vol -, and vol +.
I have tried and tried and no luck. I tried using keyboard and mouse shortcuts section of system prefs but I do not know the "menu title" of the volume controls.
If anybody has any ideas I would love help.
Thanks so much,
James

Hi, James.
Unfortunately, none of the F-keys can be set to the functions of the Volume keys using the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane.
Mac OS X does not include native support for assigning a macro or script to either an Fkey or other keyboard shortcut. For that, you need a third-party tool, like iKey, Quickeys, or Spark, the latter suggested by DPSG-Scout.
You'd also need a set of scripts to assign to the keys, e.g. scripts to increase, decrease, or mute the volume. Those are tricky to write since System Preferences does not expose much to AppleScript. One would need to use the "GUI Scripting (System Events)" technique to create a script to change the settings in the Sound preferences pane of System Preferences.
Automator does offer a "Set Computer Volume" action, which allows you to adjust the various Volume settings (Output volume, Alert Volume, Input Volume) to a specific set of levels, including Mute for Output Volume. However, it won't handle the idea of pressing the same key multiple times to either increase or decrease the volume, ala the Volume Adjustment keys. In your case, it's most useful for Mute. Automator Workflows can be saved as applications, which I believe can then be assigned to Fkeys in iKey or QuickKeys.
Someone may have written a more advanced Automator action for adjusting volume than that provided with Mac OS X. Search Apple's Automator Action Downloads. If you find one, instructions on adding actions to Automator can be found in Automator Help.
You could search ScriptBuilders to see if someone has already written scripts for the functions you need, then use iKey or Quickeys to assign such to keyboard shortcuts.
Finally, you could solve the problem another way: buy a set of external speakers that has its own separate volume and mute control. For example, my trusty old Monsoon MM1000s have their own volume control with a mute button.
Good luck!

Page Size for Z2100 - Mac Software

I print lots of long documents, all of which are 23" wide but of vaiable lengths. I used to use HP Instant Printing software on my PC, where I would simply add the file and my HP Designjet Z2100 would print it and then cut the roll before moving onto the next document.
However, I recenly bought an iMac and found that the HP instant printing software isn't available. When using the standard printer driver, I need to enter a page size. As my pages aren't standard sizes, this is annoying. Is there any way to make the printer just print the document in the page size of the document (usually pdf's), cut the roll and move on?

Ella:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's no way to create a 12x12 book from iPhoto.
MyPublisher now has an offline application, BookMaker, to create books offline and then upload. However the only sizes available are 8.75 x 11.25 and 11.5 x 15.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

"Unexpected Error" stops all software updates, except for non-mac downloads

Hello,
first of all i have tried to find answers to the question i have by searching through the forums. I searched for a couple days, but i have not found any answers as of yet.
When i go to download anything from software update the download will complete and as it is being installed it will stop and say that "the update 'blah-blah-blah' cant be installed - sorry, an unexpected error occurred."
it then says that what was downloaded was moved to the trash and so on.
i have downloaded a couple updates by themselves manually and they will go all the way till the actual installization and then stop and say there was an error.
i am fairly new to macs and i really have no idea whats going on. i have downloaded various programs, such as AIM, and videos and they all worked fine.
if any one could help it would greatly be appreciated.
thank you very much for your time.

mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Try the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
