suggestions about a complete new system

The 2nd image doesn't seem too bad. It's a start.
The first image though I do have comments about, the red seems to be hard enough to read on that background. The grey "over" effect seems almost impossible to read. Grey does not provide the contrast that you need. You need something along the lines of a white, or lighter red, or very light grey.

Moving GroupWise 8 install to new server

We are moving a GroupWise install from one Netware 6.5 server to another.

This is what is currently planned: We want to set up a completely new GroupWise 2012 system and then move everything over from the currently running GroupWise 8 system which should be turned off after this process.

pretty good at allowing you to tidy any items that are no longer used.
What are the problem items you don't want to carry forward ?

Thanks for your answer Dave,
As far as I can see we have an old GWIA from GW6 and an external domain with an old external GWIA in it which is no longer in use.
I am not able to tell you more about our GW system as I'm new in this company and only heared from my colleagues that they don't know really what will happen after the removal of those objects. So my boss decided that I will have to create a completely new system and switch over to it.
After he is back from vacation I will talk to him again. Maybe he will change his mind and allows me to update and clean up the old system.
Cheers Alex

I'm installing Creative Cloud on a MAC OSX 10.6.8 I have the 'installing window' displaying that it is about 95% complete but hasn't moved in 30 minutes; cannot quit it either...cancel button doesn't work, can't esc. What's up?

You'll have to upgrade your operating system first.
Most, if not all, Cloud apps require at least OS X 10.7.

Cannot get the Apple.. what?
Model and actual device you are talking about?
Apple covers a pretty huge range.. If you mean extreme.. did you reset it to factory and start over.. that is always necessary when you change a network. You cannot pick up a router from one home and network and plonk it into another and have it work.. aint gonna happen.
You also need to power down any pure cable modem for 20min or so to get it to forget the old MAC address that captured the IP so the Apple ??? has a chance to work.

How to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes

how to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes?
I can't find any link to do this. I found a page where you can request songs or an album to be added, but i can't find a page to submit my suggestions for itunes i have for new features i'd like to see

As of now there is no good, direct link for feedback on iTunes itself. Writing Apple might be the best option, with the website feedback page perhaps the next best.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and now System Preferences won't open (error -1712); suggestions about what to do?

Just upgraded from Lion to Mavericks. Free download, install and reboot went fine. When I go to System Preferences to customize the desktop, etc., I can't open it. Error number is given as -1712. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions about how to fix it? Thanks!

Get onto the App Store and download/purchase the Mavericks version of iPhoto.

New system recommendations and suggestions

I am in the market (finally) for a new system, and even though I had issues with my old MSI 975X Platinum PUE at the end, it served me well for over 6 years, so I'm pretty much sold by MSI.
This is what I am looking at right now, but I would like to know if there are known issues with the compatibility/functionality of these components:
-MSI Z87 MPower MAX
-Intel i7-4770K CPU
-Corsair Vengeance 16G (2x8G) RAM - (I may bump this to 32G)
-MSI GeForce GTX 760 2G DDR5 Video
-UltraX4 Extreme PSU
-Win7 Ulitmate 64Bit
I will also be getting another smaller (500GB) HD to use just for the OS and my VMWare items in addition to the 1.5T and 1T drives I have now.
Another question I have is that the CPU comes with a stock fan. Will this be sufficient or should I be looking at something else?
And being that my budget is around $1000 - $1200, is there something better you can recommend that will match the performance of what I selected?
Thank you

For your needs, I see no reason for 32GB of RAM. You don't want to mix two kits anyway even if they have the exact same part numbers. They may be from different batches or even have different chips on them. On my Z87, I am only using 8GB of RAM and having no problems.
Great choice on that CPU cooler! All my rigs have 9900's on them. They do outstanding and have helped me attain some impressive OC's using them.
The Corsair HX850W is what I use as well. Excellent PSU!
Probably one port is DVI-s and the other is DVI-d? The BIOS will probably recognize the discrete card is installed and set the graphics automatically to PEG mode.
A word of caution though. The GTX 760 may need a Legacy VBIOS to work right out of the box. If that happens, a UEFI/BIOS update may help or the VBIOS will need to be flashed. The onboard graphics can be used in the meantime to get the flashing done and the GTX 760 taken care of if it needs it. That is why some of us recommended the GTX 6xx series. They usually don't have any problems out of the box.

OS X Creative Suite 6 deactivation issue before moving to new system (motherboard crashed)

Hi,
I'm running Creative Suite 6 on Mac OSX
Motherboard crashed, bought a new system
I have de-activation to my previous disk ("T"arget mode) from new, but cannot de-activate licensed products before installing on new
How de-activate Creative Suite applications from previous system/disk ?

First, you get two activations. If the second has not been used you are good to go. You can contact technical support and ask to have you activations reset. However, Adobe support may not be available this week. If so, run the software on your new system in trial mode until Adobe support re-opens.

New system for CS5.5? Some advice please?

Hi- I am getting a new system built specifically to work with Production Premium CS5.5.
I'm afraid I know next to nothing about hardware!
These are some specs that the guys in the shop said would work?
Do you have any comments- will it work? Any better suggestions?
Many thanks

Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 Intel X58 Socke1t. 0103 66 on1b5o0a.r00
Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 13616. 080M B Cac2h3e2 .R00

LG BLU-RAY 10 X LIGHTSCRIBE BDRW I1N.T0E0R NAL RE7T2A.I00

There are several major problems with that build:
1) The two WD Green hard drives are too slow for video editing. They spin at only 5400 RPM, not 7200 RPM.
2) The i7-950 and X58 combo is about to become obsolesced by the new LGA 2011 Sandy Bridge-E platform with the X79 chipset.
3) Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.x still does not support OpenCL GPU acceleration at all. In fact, the GPU accelerated mode requires an Nvidia CUDA GPU with 896MB or more VRAM in order to even work at all. As a result, the ATi GPU-equipped systems will run CS5.x only in software-only MPE mode, which is much, much slower than the GPU accelerated mode. In other words, the HD 6770 will be equally as slow as integrated motherboard graphics (as far as performance in CS5.x is concerned).
4) Windows 7 Home Premium will not see anywhere near the full 24GB of RAM. In fact, that OS is capped at 16GB of RAM total. You will need Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate in order to use more than 16GB of RAM.
5) That 600W PSU is nowhere near powerful enough to run a video editing system of this class. In fact, that OCZ PSU is not even that good quality-wise. You will need a reallty good quality 750W to 850W 80-Plus Gold rated PSU.
In other words, the guys in the shop know little to nothing about the stuff that they sell.

Questions about buying a new Mac Pro for 4k video editing.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking into buying a new mac pro and I have a few questions. I'm a filmmaker/freelance editor looking to get a system that can handle any/at least most 4k formats that I might throw at it, and will hopefully last me around 7 years or so, like my last mac pro has. I've saved up about $5,300 and am becoming more obsessed with getting it asap, but am willing to wait a bit and save up more if necessary. I also play the occasional elder scrolls or civilization game, and might run windows on the new system as well. So here are my questions:
1. I've read rumors that a newer build could be released this year, with newer processors and graphics cards. Is there anything to point to when? I tend to buy things a month before a newer version is released, and I'd like to prevent myself from doing it this time around..
Here's the Build I'm looking at:
6 core
2 D700s
base ram to be upgraded myself to 32Gb (2x16Gb cards leaving 2 slots empty to expand to 64Gb later)
512Gb-1Tb internal hd
2. Should I be considering the 8 core? I'm not too excited about the additional $1500, but I want a system that will last.
3. Is getting the two 16Gb chips of ram and leaving two slots empty a bad idea?
4. I currently work with FCP studio 2 and love it. Not sure whether to go with FCP X, or adobe. Any thoughts?
5. I'm not finding many deals for cheaper ram and hard drives. OWC's prices seem to be comparable to Mac's. I want to do the ram so I have room to upgrade to 64Gb later, but are there any hard drives out there that would make it worth upgrading it myself?
I appreciate any insights you might have. I plan on getting a decent raid and 4k monitor in the next year or so, but for now just want a base system that will keep me editing and will be ready for 4k when I take that next step.

The late 2013 Mc Pro uses Intel Xeon ECC processors (error correction), and as far as I know Intel has not announced any newer Intel Xeon processors than those in the late 2013 Mac Pro. I would not expect to see an update to the 2013 Mac Pro until the end of 2015 at the earliest and probably later than that.
If time is not an issue, then you should be quite happy with the 6 core 2013 Mac Pro. It will do an excellent job with 4K video footage. And, yes, I would suggest getting the best raid system you can afford. That is actually more important than processor speed since I/O is frequently the bottleneck when doing multi camera video or 4K video.
I have the latest version of Adobe's Premiere Pro 2014 CC installed on my late 2013 Mac Pro and i have used it a bit without problems. However, I find it much much slower to edit with than FCP X. Also be advised that if you Google you will find several individuals on the Adobe Forums who purchased the late 2013 Mac Pro and have not been able to use it with Premiere Pro CC because of either a hardware incompatibility or software issues between Premiere Pro CC and BMD's Resolve. It is quite possible that I have not experienced these problems because I have not made very demanding projects with Premiere Pro CC on my 2013 Mac Pro.
I strongly recommend FCP X. Apple released FCP X before it was ready, and many early users were unwilling to take the time to learn how to use this very different NLE which is not track based. Apple has over the last 3 years since FCP X was released, issued more than 10 updates (all free), and the program is stable and blazingly fast. I urge you to check out the FCP X training offered by Ripple Training and/or Larry Jordan. Both are inexpensive, and worth every cent. Watch their training videos and you will be up to speed in FCP X in no time at all, and you will wish you had switched a long time ago.
If you can afford the 1 TB of PCie internal flash storage on your Mac Pro, then by all means get it. For me 1TB is well worth the cost.
As far as editing 4K video, the format of the video will be important to the ease of editing. For example, I am able to edit in its native format (XVAC S) several streams of 4K video form my Sony FDR-AX100 with no problems. If I were editing Sony's XVAC format used in their professional 4K cameras, that might pose a problem that would require transcoding. Similarly for other 4K formats. XVAC S is an easy format to edit natively because it is essentially a high bit rate h.264 format.
Best of luck on whatever you decide to do, and happy editing.

How to do initialization for new system setup?

Hi, Experts:
I need your help! Can you tell me your suggestion please?
This is a new system setup. We are about to test on the Initialization/Delta process.
The data source is 2LIS_13_VDITM 7.0 version. The test is on the PSA.
I have done an EARLY Initialization. On R3 system, if a billing record is canceled, we are able to capture it in the RSA7. Then, we did a delta load which were successfully tranferred to BW system.
However, if I created a new order and push it to Billing, I am NOT able to find it on RSA7 of the Delta queue.
That would mean, the delta queue could not capture any new billing records.
Then, besides the early init, we tried to do an Initialization without Data Transfer in the hope that this could resolve the new records issue, it doesn't allow to do it, saying "no 2 initialization".
What is the right way to do initialization??
Thanks guys!!

Hello Sylvia,
Changing it to new delta mode need not clean out everything in BW.
its a change in R/3 side on how delta records will be pushed.
Delta queue will remain the same in R/3.
But since you have already missed some records and you are not sure which one.
Also the existing records in the delta queue are not the correct one as these are not bringing new records according to you.
So I will suggest you after you have done the changes to queued delta....do a fresh start.
Delete the data from the DSO.
1)delete the existing and do a new init without data transfer so that a new delta queue is created.
2)Fill the set up tables first and start the full repair loads to DSO.
3)once all the history is loaded then you can schedule the delta.
Thanks
Ajeet

IBook G4 - Upgrade or Buy New System

I need help making a decision: is it reasonable to upgrade my iBook G4 (RAM, operating system) (+bigger hard drive?); or do I need to abandon it and buy a newer system? My considerations are: 1) DC-inboard is probably flaky. Even with a new power supply and power adapter, the battery intermittently stops charging (the LED light goes out). I have to unplug it from the power strip and move the plug to a different outlet on the strip to get it going again. 2) I'm using Safari 1.3.2 and more web sites are thumbing their noses at my "unsupported/outdated" browser. 3) The other software I use is fairly basic: MS Word 98 (running under Classic); Reunion; Photoshop Elements 2.0; Appleworks 6.0. 4) The hard drive has about 15mb free. 5) It might be Christmas but I am seriously unemployed, which is why I have been waffling over this decision for months. Thanks for y'all's suggestions.

Hi, UUWoman:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It might be Christmas but I am seriously unemployed
That's a difficult place to be. I know as some of my family are there. However, even with your tight finances, it seems to be that updating your computer will be more cost effective than purchasing a new or newer computer. Let's take your issues in order..
1. We'll begin with the HDD. Your drive is dangerously full. Besides, your computer is now 5 years old. The average life of a laptop internal HDD is 3 to 5 years. So in addition to your drive being too full it is liable to fail without notice. I believe that is your top priority. You can buy a new HDD for $50 to $100. If you can install it yourself you will save $75 or so. The DC-in board can be changed at the same time. Cost less than $20.
Instead of Safari I suggest you try Camino 1.6.10, which looks like Safari, but it is faster, more stable and more powerful. Free download.
So, your costs so far would be, let's say $75 for a new HDD, $20 for the DC-in Board if you do it yourself, or add $75 for installation. For less than $200 you will have your computer functional again. You will need around $700 for a used MacBook or $1000 for a new one.
May I suggest that if you are unable to upgrade your drive and you have valuable information on it, that you back it up immediately. You can also try to lean things down, but with so little HDD free capacity you hardly have room for working. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk is an excellent guide for clearing some breathing space.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

I have lost all files in inbox 2 times. On a new system with Win 8.1

At startup, system goes into "disk repair" for a few minutes then boots normally.
The only thing that appears to be missing is files in thunderbird inbox.
System is a Lenovo k450e. It first happened in September about 3 weeks after
migrating email to the new system. Then happened again today. (11/7) Lenovo tech
support was no help. They suggested reinstalling thunderbird. They thought
I might have an "incompatable" version.
I am running the latest Ver ( 31.2.0) . I have 3 email accounts set up. Yesterday, I did delete a bunch of files from the Inbox on one of the IDs. On Both occasions the inboxes of the 2 active accounts were lost. The inbox on the inactive account appears ok. That account has not received any messages on this system. Also, I have never performed the "file compression"
or what ever it is called in thunderbird on this system...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks. I will try this. My previous machine was running Vista and I
rarely compacted folders. NEVER had a problem. Apparently
Win 8.1 is more sensitive to this.

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
