Need suggestions for what order to install software on new computer

I have had an iMac (with Panther) for 3 1/2 years but have never made any major changes to it and plan to leave it as it is. We got a second computer yesterday, one of the last of the white iMacs, via an Apple reseller. It came with Tiger 10.4.6 installed with a Leopard 10.5 drop-in disc and an iLife 08 disk. I set up the new Mac so I have a web connection, but have not yet transferred any data from my back-up external hard-drive, nor have I attempted to install Leopard or iLife 08. I'm looking for recommendations for what order I should do these tasks. Or does it matter?
That is, should I play around with Tiger for awhile (I've never used Tiger before), move all my data and confirm all is OK before adding Leopard?
Or should I get Leopard on the computer right as the next step?
Should iLife 08 be installed before or after Leopard? or is either order OK?
Any suggestions that would be helpful to me?

I concur with the others on going straight to Leopard. Then resolve any issues before installing non-Apple applications (or older Apple ones, for that matter).
However, make sure ANY applications are Leopard-compatible before you install them.
And note that the iLife '08 installer is for a 30-day trial installation (fully functional for those 30 days) after which it needs to be purchased.

Need suggestions for Sales Order ATP for Material STO in from other Plant

Our client does not want to stock inventory at either the DC or the Manufacturing Plant. They receive a Sales Order at the DC and the ATP check is set up to check Stock at the DC (likely none); inbound Stock Transport Orders (likely none) and then resort to the Replenishment Lead time.
The Replenishment Lead time for externally procured materials (F) with Special Procurement key (STO it in from the manufacturing plant) is the Planned Delivery Time in the Material Master. The problem is the Planned Delivery time is just the 5 days it takes to get the stock from the manufacturing plant to the DC. If the Manufacturing plant has no inventory (which is very likely since we don't maintain PIRs to stock it prior) we will promise the customer delivery in 5 days which is much too soon.
We cannot inflate the Planned Delivery time to be the 5 days of transit plus the 30 days of total procurement and manufacturing time at the manufacturing plant because then the MRP signal will tell the manufacturing plant to buy and make much too soon.
They don't want to ship goods directly from the manufacturing plant; they must be shipped from the DC.
I realize that this is not a good business process but is there a solution for this?

Ann,
This is a common practice, and I don't think that the business process is unreasonable.
1. Remove the special procurement key from the RWHS Material Master
2. Change Material Master in the RWHS to X procurement.
3. Set your RWHS Material Master 'Total Replenishment Lead time'
Next step assumes that the company codes are the same between RWHS and Manufacturing Plant.
4. Create Purchase Info Record for the RWHS material, that points to the vendor of the Manufacturing plant
5. Create quota arrangement in which 100 percent of the quota comes from the Manufacturing Plant Purchase Info Record, and is MRP relevant
6. Insert a step after the RWHS MRP run where the Planned orders are immediately converted to Purchase requisitions.
Business process:
a. Sales order is entered. ATP checks RWHS stock and excess inbound.
b. If inadequate supply, then ATP confirms to Total Replenishment Lead time (and not planned delivery time).
c. MRP runs; creates a planned order for the shortage.
d. New step in MRP job converts the Planned order to a Purchase req. Purchase req is sourced via the quota arrangement
e. Purchase Req requirement (Manufacturing plant) is offset by the Planned delivery time to accommodate transit duration.
f. Purchase req demand now places a requirement on the Manufacturing plant, with dates and quantities that will support the Sales order in the RWHS.
g. Convert the Purchase Req to a STO once the stock appears in the Manufacturing Plant.

Big Brother?? Companies installing software into your computer from afar??

I was on the phone today with a video camera company (tech support likely outsourced to overseas). I was having trouble with their videos displaying on my computer.
They asked me for my permission to install software on my computer!!
How is it possible for them to do that from elsewhere?
They are a big name, legit company... but if they can do it with my permission, who can do it without it?
Appreciate any insights on this.
I, of course, refused.

You'd have to open the gate for them to install it first off.
That's why you have settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall.
As for trouble displaying videos, many companies like to rely on Windows Media videos which can be viewed if you add http://www.flip4mac.com/
Nobody can install software without your permission unless you deliberately open the gate for them to do it.

Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Just installed vista and bootcamp won't install because it needs windows 7 in order to install properly

Hey so i just bought by 15" MacbooK Pro yesterday and wanted to install windows vista on it. I'm to the part where you're supposed to install windows bootcamp but a message comes up saying that it needs windows 7 in order to install properly. What do i do?? I have the upgrade version of windows 7 (whcih i was going to eventually install) but when i tried installing it an error message came up saying that it needs vista service pack 1 to install. In order to install that service pack I need to connect to the internet. I can't connect to the internet, though, without installing the drivers from bootcamp!! AHH! see how this is frustrating? PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Reboot your computer while holding down the option key. You should be presented with the option to boot into OSX. Once booted into OSX start Boot Camp Assistant and select remove the Boot Camp Partition.
I know Boot Camp Assistant was not installed in Windows. It is an OSX application for creating and removing a Boot Camp partition. It is run from OSX.

Why would you say that LiveCycle is the only thing to recommend (but isn't available for Macs) then bring up InDesign?
If it can't be done by the Mac OS (she hasn't mentioned what she has) then it can be done with Acrobat. She asked about a program to create PDF files. That's pretty much what Acrobat does.
where is whatI said.
Being That LiveCycle designer is not availble for Mac. That would be about the only thing to recommend. InDesign Maybe but more pricey.
The part I've underline refers to Acrobat. InDesign Maybe but more pricey referes to, Indesign being more expensive than Acrobat.

Suggestion for what small printer for clamshell ibooks

Hi all
I need suggestions for small printers that can work with clamshells OS 10.3 and OS 9.2.

You've just learned a hard lesson. Put your current energy into your education, not finding a way to wallow in ignorance.
There already is a hardware device that will do what you want. It's called a "manual". In particular, the sections that relate to "where the program stores media". Pay very close attention to those sections and set up your computer so that all the scratch and storage pointers are aimed where you want. It's very simple to have them all go to one drive.
Then, when it's time to archive the project because you are starting a new project, just purchase another hard drive for the new project. They are absurdly inexpensive these days.
Remove the drive with your project to be archived from your computer (since you now know how to keep all the files organized, they will be all together) - and plug in a new disk for the next project.
If you want a backup, use carbon copy cloner to simply duplicate the drive (or simply just copy the relevant folders- you'll know which ones) to another drive (or get a RAID 1 device)
good luck,

hi vikrant,
You can a Cube at the reporting layer which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
You can populate these based on your logic in the field routine.
Hope it helps.

I am unable to turn my ipod on. Suggestions for what might be wrong?

I have my iPod plugged in to charge. But it won't power on. Suggestions for what might be wrong?

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
