Netinstall: Quickest method to achieve this......
We have had a quick look at creating a netinstall image as we preconfigure a lot of machines for new installs and repairs. Our requirements are not huge but hoped someone could tell us the quickest and easiest way to achieve the following without user intervention after starting the process:-
1) Format Internal drive
2) Install Leopard
3) Install latest combo updater
4) Install iLife
5) Create admin account
6) Change location of software update server
We have tried a few goes with System Image Utility, we can create the image, when we use the image half the stuff doesn't appear to happen, some does. Occasionally we will get a Kernal panic when trying to netboot.
We wish to install this via netinstall off out Xserve running LeopServer 10.5.4
Any words of wisdom will be gratefully received
check out instadmg to create your default build, then create a netinstall set from that.

I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts,documents, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling, to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine from the MacBook be transferred to the Pro in some way? I would like to capture the files as they appear on the MacBook, such as "Events" in iPhoto and the various song categories within iTunes without having to rename them all once saved on the Pro, which is the case with photos when I simply save them to thumb drive and import them to the Pro. Sny advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Rob.Michael,
Thanks for all your assistance. There is no need for apologies, Migration Assistant did indeed create a second account for the MacBook data. It has just taken me some time to figure out how to access it. I now have all the MB data in one account and the MBP files in another, which suits me fine. In fact, it is an advantage in my case as it keeps the private and business aspects separated.
I will however try the fatcatsoftware to transfer all the iPhoto files to my iMac, where I keep my main photo library. and it will be of help to keep the events, etc in the transfer. As far as iTunes is concerned, I have HomeSharing on all my computers and this has obviated the need to worry about playlists being transferred successfully. However, HomeSharing did not appear to share the iPhone/iPod apps that were stored on the MB and although these have now come across with the new MacBook account on the MBP, I was wondering whether my iPhone and iPod will be recognised by the MBP and sync with it? Will I need to have the MB account open to achieve this or will the MBP recognise and sync with the iPhone/iPod automatically irrespective of which account is open?
Thanks for the tip on deauthorising my iTunes account from the MB before sellng. This I will do and I believe the best way to remove all of my data from the hard drive is to reinstall the MacOSX operating system software. Is this the right approach to securely delete everything?
Thanks again for sharing your expertise and your guidance through this exercise.
Best regards,

Looking for methods to achieve this
Hi folks,
I want to make my swf stream musics in a continuous way. Say
you have a 10 minutes song, normally when visitor1 opens the client
swf they start listening it from beginning, 3 minutes after if
visitor2 jumps in and opens they too start from the begining, and
so on so forth for other visitors. What i want though is to find a
way such that if visitor1 opens the client while the song is
playing since 2 minutes they start listening only the portion that
is left, not from the beginning; visitor2 jumps in 3 minutes after
him, they just listen the remaining 5 minutes of the song, see what
i mean?
I can i do that? Is they any specific methods for that, or
how would you define a custom approach to achieve this? Can flash
alone do that or would it require server sides codes in other
languages?
Thank youwould require some hefty custom classes and probably an
external interface like php or asp with mysql or mssql. -
What do you think is the best method to achieve this:
Within my main timeline, I have a bunch of buttons that scale up on mouseOver and scale down on MouseOut. With your help, I have gotten these all set up exactly how I need them to be.... so thanks for that.
My next question is a bit trickier, I think I have a few options to achieve it, but curious what you think is the best way to do such a thing:
So, if you rollover a button, you get the scale up, now, what needs to happen, is when you click that button, the button scales to full screen with bleeds, check out the AS2 version here: www.straightlinenyc.com/introduction/launch.html (go to explore, and click any of the circles).
Right now, I am thinking that when you click a bubble, within its movieclip I will build the transition – so if you click, it will go to the btnHit label and there the button will scale up and set the stage for me to load in the case study work. My thinking is at the end of the scale up to full screen, I could put an enterFrame function, saying once you hit this frame, gotoAndPlay the case study frame that I will place on the main timeline.
Obviously, my problem right now, is that if you mouse off the buttons hit state while this is occurring, everything goes away – so thinking on hit I should remove the hit state child.
The other option that may make more sense, is to addChild the hit state, so when you click it, that just loads on top of the button then runs, is this the simpler way?
Anyway, just would be good to get "some" direction, and take it from there. Thanks!Depending on the specs of your computer, time taken to convert DVD's to an iPod-playable format can vary. On my computer (see below), it takes about 10 hours to convert a 2-hour DVD to the iPod format, using Videora.
So, due to the extremely large size of the DVD rip, it'll take a while to convert it, regardless of how fast or slow your system is. -

Using iPhone with Places: quickest method?
Hi. I just got an iPhone which records GPS data. What is the quickest (easiest) method to use this data-procurement device to add location information to a shoot?
I am mostly interested is the general location (within 50m), and I rarely move far during a shoot. (I don't need to create a path with waypoints.) Altitude would be a useful addition. What I have been doing is assigning Locations manually from within Aperture, almost always by Project (I do this when I fill in the Project Description).
(OT: this iPhone is something I've been waiting for for at least 5 years. The feature set is superb -- and, more importantly, superbly implemented. Siri is phenomenal: "Wake me at 8"; "Set the timer for 1 hour"; "Call my wife"; and so on, including dictating text and e-mail messages. There are, I'm sure everyone knows, many useful apps. "PhotoBuddy" seems to be an excellent value -- many useful features, low cost.)
Thanks in advance!Don't have an iPhone so I can only tke an educated crack at this.
First as yu are not all that concerned with getting exact locations for your shots doing through the project like you currently re might just be the easiest and best way for you.
How ever the setting under the GPS pulldown in the Places view
Import GPS from iPhone Photos seems like it be an interesting experiment. When you select this you get a window that says
So my thought is you take one iPhone picture at the location and then use this setting to pull in its GPS info than select all the images that correspond to this place and drop them on the waypoint or pin or whatever comes up after you've done this.
If you try this let me know what it does. Hopefully one day soon I'll join the super phone club. (The **** phone I've got refuses to die, no matter what I do. The stupid thing has been through the wash and it still keeps coming back! )

I have an iphone6. I am unsure whether to go from 8.1.3 operating system and switch to ICloud Drive or not? Has anyone done this? Is it awesome? I need to be able to access my resume from phone. I think this will help me achieve this? Am i right? Is there any body out there right now that could help me? I'm thinking about going from 8.1.3 to I guess yosemite? Or is that for Mac computers? I don't understand the language entirely on the help page. Anyone's straight forward and easy stepped advice would be much appreciated. I'm so frustrated and I need a job so badly! Drowning in debt.

HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS IN BEX REPORT ?
Hi
I have a query like below:
Indicator---Month---Volume--
Revenue
A--201101-10Tonnes----710USD
A--201102-20Tonnes----2000USD
Because of some selections in our query,It always displays data from beginning of year to present month(August).
Now requirement is to add new column named 'Average'.....It should be weigted average and will be calculated as below:
If we take records for 201101 month in cube....The calculations should be equivalent to Volume of each record * Revenue of each record / Total Volume for that month
so if we take cube and display all records for 201101 month for example:
Indicator--MonthVolume--Revenue
A--2011011--
100
A--2011012--
110
A--2011013--
200
A--201101-4--
300
Then 'Average' that needs to be displayed in report for 201101 month will be calculated as follows:
Volume for each record * Revenue for each record / Total Volume for that month
(1100+21103*2004*300)/(123+4)=212
So,the report will show 201101 as below:
Indicator----Month--Volume-Revenue--Average
A--201101-10710--
212
Similarly,if a report is executed for August month:
Indicator----Month--Volume-Revenue--Average
A--201101--10710--
212
A--201102--202000USD--300
A--201103--303000usd---400
A--201108--606000usd---700
How can I achieve this in query designer?
Regards.......Hi,
Just tried looking into your query. Few questions that I have:
1. When you say
"if we take cube and display all records for 201101 month for example:
Indicator--MonthVolume--Revenue
A--2011011--
100
A--2011012--
110
A--2011013--
200
A--201101-4--
300
If these records are there in cube , then when you query on them the report will get aggregated based on you Indicator & Month. So no individual records to do the calculation.
So I guess you should look for some routines while you are loading this records in the cube to do this calculation rather than Bex ...but I will feel good if someone can tell us to how to acheive it in Bex.

I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
Thank you,Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both. -
According to the TDM support page, this isn't possible. I tried it with a Mnidisplay port to minidisplay port cable without success. Its a shame that thunderbolt doesn't appear to be backwards compable as I could have achieved this with an older iMac.
CheersYou are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to create a function with dynamic sql or any better way to achieve this?

I have created below SQL query which works fine however when scalar function created ,it

I would like to create above query in function so that return value would be used in
another query select statement and I am using SQL 2005.
I would like to know if there is a way to make this work as a function or any better way
to achieve this?
Thanks,This very simple: We cannot use dynamic SQL from used-defined functions written in T-SQL. This is because you are not permitted do anything in a UDF that could change the database state (as the UDF may be invoked as part of a query). Since you can
do anything from dynamic SQL, including updates, it is obvious why dynamic SQL is not permitted as per the microsoft..
In SQL 2005 and later, we could implement your function as a CLR function. Recall that all data access from the CLR is dynamic SQL. (here you are safe-guarded, so that if you perform an update operation from your function, you will get caught.) A word of warning
though: data access from scalar UDFs can often give performance problems and its not recommended too..

Hi Raju,
Can you help me writing CLR for my above function? I am newbie to SQL CLR programming.
Thanks in advance!

How to achieve this tree table ?
My client wants that they should also be able to manage budge at Location or region level not only at the leaf(Dept) level.
I did a lot of research and finally found out that the details can only printed at the leaf(Dept) level.......
We can not hard code Region, locations and departments in table rows. When table tree is displayed we will only show all the regions... (US, UK, SA, IND, AUS, CAN,RUS, JPN.... etc..)
For Example:
Locations for US (NY, CA, OKH, WC...... etc.)
Locaitons for UK (SC, ENG, WL..... etc) and so on......
Departments for CA (HR, IT, ADMIN, FIN, TRVL, OPRN........ etc. ..)
Thanks in advance... It will be really great help if I get some breakthrough...
-RahulHi,
what if you add a transient attribute to those view objects? This way you don't need to change the table structure.

i enjoy karaoke and have numerous vcd's of karaoke songs. I wanted to make a compilation vcd of my own, containing my favourite karaoke songs but I am unable to achieve this on my macbook pro (mac os 10.6.8). Can you tell me how to step by step?
I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.
