Web Portfolio Software Advice (off topic)

hi all.
i have been really happy with my ability to organize a very large amount of images in Aperture and to publish them easily to Flickr (among other things).
this has now freed me up to focus on creating a new website for an old website that needs updating. right now i have just created a /link/ for the pictures on the webpages which takes the viewer to the flickr albums.
i am looking at "themes" such as the WordPress Photography theme (http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/) and i am also looking at sites that are using the "autoviewer" or "autoviewer pro" software.
http://www.iloveconcrete.net/drive1/drive1.html
http://www.simpleviewer.net/autoviewer/
anyway, i am familiar with using wordpress UI but i am desperately trying to find a method where i don't have to use the wordpress image uploader. i guess the holy grail would be to just "publish" album "code" out of Aperture that i would then embed into a WP theme website which i am sure i could create in a week or something.
anyway, does anyone know of anywhere i can ask such questions or get some leads on keeping this workflow simple but create a nice website at the same time?
TIA and apologies for the off-topic post.

I liked "Waves" and thought most of the sounds were good- the piano was very realistic to my casual listen. I did however find the backing strings of the first couple of minutes to be fairly "synth" sounding, maybe that's what you wanted, but to me it could have sounded more like an actual string ensemble. Later on it seemed to be working more to my liking with the strings playing individually.
It's not the most expensive thing out there, but I have been using IK Multimedia's Philharmonik, which is not good for a lot of things, but it does really capture a real "woody" and "dry" sound on the cellos, violas, etc.
I also tend to agree that MySpace could be a good addition for you. And I notice that your vox on the podcast was only coming at me from the left.
Keep it up! It's a lot of fun to do- I'll send you a thing I wrote with Philharmonik and Sibelius 5, it's sort of just me learning those and not really finished, still, you'll get an idea of what Philharmonik sounds like.

Need advice on second hard disk configuration/moving folders/...

Hello everyone!
I just bought a second internal 250gig hard disk, because my first one was getting full.
As far as I heard it is advised to keep the Logic program and the OS on one disk, and to do all recordings and save all projects on a second disk. Am I correct so far?
Now, of course all my previous projects are located on the same disk as my OS and Logic Program.
How do I safely move all projects (and their soundfiles) to my second disk? Can I just move the folders to the new disk and will all projects work? Or are there special procedures to be made? I would hate to do things which cause all projects to be scrambled and unusable.
Please give as much 'step by step' explanations as possible...
And if you have any other remarks or tips, I'd be glad to hear about them!
I am aware that for my future recordings I will have to change the record path in Logic to my new second drive, so no need to write about that...
Cheers!

If they are indeed saved as 'projects', just move the folders where you want them.
It is that easy.

(off topic) Quick advice needed RE: publishing

(sorry for the waaayyy off-topic post, but I'm sure some of you gurus would know the answer to this. I'm sort of in 'freak-out' mode right now.)
So my CD artwork is finalized, and slated to go to press this Friday. I just realized that, though I am registered with BMI, I put no mention of that on the disc or in the liner notes. DOH!
Do I need to? If so, is simply putting "Copyright 2006 [band name here], BMI" sufficient? Or do I need a 'music company' name (in other words, not the band name).
thanks for any advice !

Need advice on replacing Toshiba hard drive

I have other manufacturers laptop with a Toshiba 60GB MK6021GAS hard drive. I believe the hard drive is on its way out and I want to pull everything off of the disk for restoring to another new one. I need everything from the drive because the OS image is one which was loaded by the company I contract with and apparently, the standard one which came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications which I also have loaded on the laptop.
I don't want to have to travel over 100 miles to the company's IT offices to have another OS loaded onto the new drive unless I have to, so what I guess I want to do is create an exact image of the existing drive, then restore the image back to the new disk when I get it.
I tried making an image of the disk using Paragon Exact Image 7 SE, but the download from the existing faulty hard drive to a DVD dump disk fails consistently, after copying 1.6gb of 8.32gb, reporting that the hard disk is damaged.
Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that disk failure is imminent, reporting a "Bad" status for this disk. I have run chkdsk several times over the last few months on the hard disk and on a couple of occasions, it has isolated bad sectors. So everything points to the disk's days being truly numbered.
What I'd like to be able to do is buy another MK6021GAS hard disk unit, and get all the files from the faulty one onto the new one without having to reload the OS, application software data etc.
Is that possible? If so, what's the best way? How can I get everything from the disk if this Paragon software will not let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Phil.

Thanks for the feedback fellas.
ActiveSmart is reporting that the drive is bad and failure is imminent because the "Reallocated Sector Count" attribute is not what it should be. From this, I'm assuming that any data, system or otherwise, was reallocated to another "good" sector, perhaps by chkdsk(?) at some point and everything that's vital is intact.
The PC is working as it should except that every so often (2 weeks can elapse for example), the hard drive starts to make an audible clicking noise which causes the system to stop. Sometimes, tilting the PC forward brings it back to life and everything carries on as normal, but just as often, the machine has to be switched off and left alone for a few hours, or a hardware BSOD happens. This suggests a mechanical failure of some kind to me.
Maybe I should add Norton Ghost to my toolbox anyway - I'm sure it'll come in handy again at some point and it sounds like I might be able to make progress with this if it allows the skipping of bad sectors.
Thanks again guys.

Request to have off-topic posts moved

There are a number of posts accumulated in the Server and Storage Systems group of forums that are just not on-topic for them.
Generally they've been posted by people that care to not read anything nor drill down to an appropriate forum and just dump a question.
I've done the "report abuse" routine on a number of them but that seems to have been ignored.

(off topic) BEWARE OF CNET DOWNLOADS!!!!

I know that this is slighly off-topic for this forum, but I wanted to spread the word about CNET downloads (download.com). Several months ago, CNET was slapped on the wrist for intentionally adding spyware into the programs on their download website.
Well, they stopped for a while and they're at it again. I wrote to them saying that I had trusted CNET for years because of their policy against spyware and mailicious code. A few weeks ago, I needed to download a program to check wifi channels on my wireless network, and ended up having to perform a full virus/spyware scan aftrer downloading TWO different programs from CNET's download site. After installing each program, I ended up having my homepage hijacked and dozens of popups appearing offering to fix my computer!
I thought that maybe it was just the first program (slipped by heir radar), but the SECOND one had the same problem. I then went to the publisher's website and found his blog complaining that his program was free of malicious code and that it was inserted by CNET/Download.com AFTER he had uploaded it to the web.
His recommendation is that, if you can't go directly to the publisher's site for a download, File-Hippo is still a fairly clean site.
Please pass this info on to friends and colleagues.

Sophiesdad, welcome to the forum.
I know that you are correct. I have found this to be very true. The only way that I have found to get around this situation is use the "Custom" option to do the install. This allows me to decline all of the garbage that they want to add to my computer. It has worked so far.
This is not the only website that does this, however. I have found it to be true on Softpedia, also. It was my most trusted until lately.

Off Topic - Cameras - 30D, 5D or D200?

Hi there, I'm a non-pro frequenter of the Apple discussion boards, I know this is off topic but I'd sure appreciate some quick advice, I need a camera ASAP for a work project and I don't have time to do the research that I should I'm hoping somebody here can give me a concise answer. My choices so far are narrowed down to the Canon 30D, the Nikon D200, and possibley the Canon 5D can any one recommend which would be the better camera for image quality when used by a non-pro (although I do have some technical experience and don't have a problem using a camera in manual mode). Main point is the image quality at the end of the day, and also the better investment as a camera. Mostly I don't want to get an over priced dudd... I've heard the 5D is good but over priced - anyway.... any help anyone? I'd really appreciate it.
Many Thanks,
Miklos.

My choices so far are
narrowed down to the Canon 30D, the Nikon D200, and
possibley the Canon 5D can any one recommend which
would be the better camera for image quality
All those cameras and many less expensive others when used with top quality Nikon/Canon lenses are capable of providing excellent image quality when used with a (very essential) pro quality tripod and head plus remote shutter release (add $500-1000 for those if you intend to build a rig at the pro end of things). The 5D is slightly more capable of the best low light images in the group, but at a cost of more than twice as much. The lenses you choose will be much more relevant than the individual cameras - and should accordingly represent more than half of your expenditure.
The choice between Nikon and Canon should be made by handling the cameras in your short list. Hopefully ignoring the BS that salesman insists on telling you.
Main point is the image quality at the
end of the day, and also the better investment as a
camera. Mostly I don't want to get an over priced
dudd... I've heard the 5D is good but over priced -
anyway...
DSLRs are not investments per se as cameras any more than computers are. DSLR values will decrease over time, but they invest extremely well in your productivity as a photographer.
IMO since you are relatively inexperienced in this dynamic world of DSLR you should start at the $1500 range for camera body only and add high quality lenses. If you choose Nikon, for indoors architecture I recommend the excellent 10.5mm fisheye that using software can provide rectilinear images, the excellent 12-24mm, and a f/1.4 50mm. At the tele end I like the 70-200mm VR, but an 18-200mm would probably suit for photojournalism type shots.
If you choose Canon there are equally excellent lenses available. I recommend against third party lenses because they typically will not support all the features of modern Nikon/Canon DSLR systems in the future even if they do so today.
Note that although architectural is often shot with DSLR (including by me), highest quality architectural images are not created with DSLR cameras. They are shot with medium format film view cameras that allow extensive tilts and swings within the camera body. The use of such cameras makes a huge difference.

I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

Hi
I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full. I have emptied many files as well as my Trash. I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'. This is a copy of one of the items. It is from the system log. I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos. My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free? That's seriously low. With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB. MB is 1024 fold less than a GB. So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
Much obliged for any input

My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED. Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

More than 1200 bad blocks do I need to change my Hard Disk

Hi
my hard disk on a Macbook pro has more than 1200 bad blocks do I need to change my Hard Disk
Thanks for your help

yousseffromlimoges wrote:

What software and version did you use to determine you had 1200+ bad blocks?
Was it compatible with Lion?
Run the scan again and take a screen shot of the results and make sure to save it to a external media and disconnect it, you will need this to perform a warranty call and have the drive replaced.
After you have backed up your files to a external storage drive and disconnected it.
Hold Command r upon rebooting and enter the Lion Recovery Partition and run Disk Utility, see if the drive needs repair. I suspect it does. Check the smart status too.
Follow the
Restoring OS X 10.7 (new drive, total reformat method)
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
Also make a clone of your OS X Lion Partition on a external drive, this way your prepared if the drive dies, you can option boot off the clone. If you get a new drive you have a copy of Lion Recovery on the USB.
It's highly unusual for a drive to have 1200+ bad blocks, the Zero Erase Free Space will confirm it as it's going to use up all your spare blocks.
The drive will likely brick, which you then can option boot off the clone.
Schedule a Apple warranty/AppleCare call if your under it, or order a new drive online from OtherWorld Computing "kits", iFixit for videos or other Mac places online.
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
You can read my link provided how to format the drive.
However if your Zero Erase Free Space turns out fine, then I suspect the software you used or perhaps something else is wrong with your OS X not correctly reporting your drives data characteristics correctly.
You could be spared a costly repair if that's the case.
Good Luck.

Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
(Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

What OSX version?
Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.
