Network Card Teaming for the Home

Sadly microsoft is way behind the other competing OS's in this field.
Sure you may say that your server versions offer this but the home needs its too. Why you might ask. The answer is Bluray and eventually 4k movies. I copy them to my freebsd plex server for home viewing. I'd prefer not
to let teenagers ruin my bluray disks. I copy them once and then store them safely away.
My freebsd plex server has 3 1 Gig links to my home cisco 24 port Gig switch which connects by 3 Gig links to my 8 port cisco switch and the 3 nics in my FX8350 box. This works fine in linux and freebsd , but unless
I have identical cards and can run the manufacturers teaming software I am basically screwed in windows and back to single links.
You may say that I'm disk bound anyway, but I have a a 4 X 3 Terabyte disk ZFS system in their version of RAID 0 which is rysnced to four identical pools both local and remote over a 5ghz wifi link.
Don't restrict us and blame issues with response times as I've read. Just let us use it as an option and we'll make our own judgement. After over 30 years of computer experience I can cope. Remember us baby boomers
like your founder. I am currently downloading the enterprise version to see if it has the capability.
I have read many comments about this and I totally agree with them.
This is not only your chance not only to catch up with what currently appears to be your technical superiors but also provide a compelling reason to upgrade from Windows 7 for technically expert users.
Oh btw I do really like windows 10, no issues so far, but please fix this. Pretty please :D
Cheers

Oh by the way your clarification was more like obfuscation. Its not about streaming media , its about Teaming Network Cards to create multiple gig LACP channels. I've changed the title to reflect that.
I don't think that Microsoft is too concerned about losing consumer sales
due to any lack of native teaming in its consumer level OS'. If one
absolutely requires NIC teaming on a consumer OS then the solution for
Windows is to purchase multiple NICs from the same vendor that support
teaming and use their configuration utility to create and manage the team.
Teaming, at the consumer level, is an extreme outlier and as I said, I'm
sure that Microsoft isn't losing any sleep over any lost sales to due its
lack of native teaming in the client OS.

Hi Monty,
Sorry to say it, but this is normal for Apple TVs. I've owned a TV2 and a TV3, and neither lasted for an entire year. They are quite fragile and of low quality, and as you can see here, quite fussy even when they work. The wi-fi receiver on these are cheap and unreliable.
Consider the $99 an annual rental fee. They rarely work for a whole year, so if you are going to use the platform, you will have to replace them constantly.
Also, when one dies under warranty, never, never send it to Apple for repair. Go to the Apple Store for replacement. I sent my ATV3 in for warranty repair using a box sent to me by Apple, and although FedEx tracking showed it was accepted by Apple, it was never seen again. Apple won't replace it or even return my calls.

A simple network setup solution for a home user!

Hi, I currently have a Power book PC g4 it has x2 external drives connected to it via time capsule and I have an old G4 clunky desktop downstairs that is connected via Ethernet but some previous owner must've doctored it because it can't run safari or itunes. I want to upgrade to an Imac and use my old powerbook PC g4 basically as a screen and keyboard downstairs to access my main new computer which is upstairs. I'm sick of duplicate files because the two computers currently are run as completely separate but on the same network!! I also have an iphone and itunes which I want to be able to sync and use from either computer so in other words I want all the same programs etc on each computer two screens two keyboards but ideally only one hard drive which is backed up by time capsule. How do I do this easily? Remote Desktop? Currently I have terrible time syncing and numerous software issues because I am trying to run the same software on each computer and they don't like it. I ought to have two licenses to do that but it is too expensive for the home user! I know I'm a bit stupid regarding these matters but geekology doesn't come naturally I'm sorry.

Screen sharing lets you sort of do this, but don't expect it to be just like sitting in front of the remote computer. The connection will slow everything down and you won't get sound. Plus I'd be surprised if the PB had nearly as large a screen as any new iMac. This is not a realistic solution for day-to-day use.

Sounds to me like you need to replace the old hardware with a new laptop rather than an iMac. Then you can take it everywhere and not have any sync issues.

That's another reason to get a laptop... you could quit breaking the law and just install on one machine. Note, though, that if your software is as badly outdated as your hardware, it may not all work on the current version of the Mac OS (10.6.4, aka Snow Leopard). Check that before buying anything.

How can I add or change the Network I'D for the TouchPad?

Most devices on a network have names for the device for one reason or another. This helps to distinguish between connected devices and the legitimacy thereof.
So far I have been unable to add a Network ID to this TouchPad.
With the Amazon Kindle Fire had seen the network ID as "My Phone" which I really wanted to change, and fast. Did manage to change it with an Android app called Fing, which allowed me to use a rather unorthodox network identification name.
Would like to find another network utility that can do the same for the HP TouchPad. Any ideas as to a utility, or a more manual method? Fing via the Kindle Fire shows no network ID for my TouchPad.

Hello Xelkos,
What you're talking about is actually a feature of DHCP. When asking for an IP address, a client can send a hostname to the server so that it can be easily identified in a human-readable way.
By default, this is disabled on the TouchPad. To enable it, you're going to need to edit a text file on the device. There's lots of different ways to do this, so pick your favorite and then follow these insturctions.
Find /etc/dhclient.conf and open it
Find the line that starts with:
# send-hostname
Delete the "#" sign in front of the line and change the text inside the quotes. This text should be whatever you want your hostname to be:
send-hostname "TouchPad"
Once you've done that, save and close the file
Next, turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You should now see your hostname show up on your Access Point / Router.
NOTE: Remember that in order to make these changes permanent, you must set the file system as read-write:
mount -o remount,rw /
You must also set it back to read-only when you're done:
mount -o remount,ro /

Need to find the password for the home wi-fi connection in order to connect iPhone

I'm trying to find the password for the home wi-fi system and can't locate the paper on which it is written. I thought there was a way to find it in the system preferences but am striking out. The home server is a Linksys unit, not an Airport base station. I am on an older iMac running 10.4.11. Thanks for the assist.

Found the answer. :-)

What are the correct permissions for the Home folder?

Since buying my first mac (G4 iMac) I've since bought 2 other macs & transferred my home folder from the older computer each time. Since then I've messed around with the permissions of the Home folder a few times to try share files & folders between my Windows PCs. So the permissions of the Home folder on all computers could be messed up a little.
I want to set up permissions how they should be set up as default.
I created another user account with admin priveliges & it looks like the Home folder should be set up as follows:
Owner: 'my name'
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin or 'my name'
Access: Read only
Others: Read only
And the sub folders (Documents, Pictures etc.) should be set up as follows:
Owner: 'my name'
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin or 'my name'
Access: No access
Others: No accesss
Is this correct, & if so shall I just set permissions on my Home folder exactly the same as the new account I set up?
Or is there some way of resetting permissions for the Home folder?
(I know repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't do this).

Mac OS X does not have a built-in way of doing this, but you can make one yourself. Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
do shell script "chmod 755 ~"
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Desktop"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Documents"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Library"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Music"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 700 ~/Pictures"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 755 ~/Public"
end try
try
do shell script "chmod 755 ~/Sites"
end try
This script can be saved as an application, which makes it possible to fix the permissions on a home folder with two clicks. The try statements are included so that the script will run if a folder doesn't exist. If the ~ object is a symbolic link, the permissions on it may not be changed; you can use the code block
tell application "Finder"
set the_home to POSIX path of (home as alias)
end tell
do shell script ("chmod 755 " & the_home)
in this case. The rest of the script works as before.

Are there any known good home phone systems for the Home Phone Connect

I've had the Home Phone Connect now for several months. I have had a Panasonic KX-TG7641 for a good while now. I bought this system to connect a cell phone through the Bluetooth to make a receive calls at home. This cell phone stayed docked in the charger next to the Panasonic base station. There were a few extra steps involved in order to make calls using the Bluetooth and every time my mother-in-law visits it is an extensive training process to show her how to use the phone. Every. Time. She. Makes. A. Call.
I saw the HPC and figured I could simplify the system and since the cell we kept connected was off contract, I got the HPC for free and signed up for 2 years with it. This was a mistake. While I can always hear the callers on the line, they sometimes report that I am too garbled to understand. Today I knew I was going to be on the phone on hold for a while, so I used my home phone handset for comfort (vice holding my Galaxy up to my head for an extended period of time)
After a 30 minute on-hold with the Veterans Administration I finally got through to an operator who informed me she could barely hear me/broken and garbled. Where I have my HPC at it is right in a window and I have steady 2 bars on it always. I told her I could call back on my cell phone, but she insisted we power through it so I wouldn't have to wait again on hold. Well we eventually made it through the call.
After hanging up I used my Google powers to see what the issue it/how to fix it. It appears that the people that have issues when using the HPC also have Panasonic phones/base stations connected to it. This might be because Panasonic phones are widely available and are the most common ones in use, but it might also be in that something is incompatible between the 2 systems. Odd, since the way it connects is similar to an old POTS. Could it have something to do with the DECT 6.0 that hey use (on the 1.9GHz band) where other older devices use standard 2.4 or 5.8?

Thank you for the tip. Sorry if it's the wrong forum. I don't post here often. I searched for the Home Phone Connect under devices and found it under "Other" so figured this was the best place to post it. Could you point me to the correct place for the HPC discussions?
I'll double check later when I'm home on my computer to see iff the problems being reported are all using the DECT 6.0 (1.9GHz). Might be causing some interference of some sort.

I recently got the iPhone 4S and for some reason the Settings button for the home screen has a little red 1.If anyone know why their is little red number1 and what I have to do it would be fantastic! Thanks :)

Hallo. I did it this several times and I have the latest update to iOS 6.0.1, but still the red mark 1 at the Settings icon. Do you have any other idea?
Thank's.

My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?

My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?
Please don't tell me to retry, or re check my information because it is all correct, it basically says u cannot use thi account due to it being connected to another device... which is my old fault iphone, at the apple store.

I have never before heard of cards being locked to a single device... but your case has shown me that it happens.
If I am getting it right you try to log in to your account and it asks for billing information, and when you enter your card details it tells you that the card cannot be used. If that is the case then I'm sorry to say that my only suggestion would be to contact iTunes support directly; the contact form can be found in here: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

How do you scale a picture on the ipad for the home screen?

How do you re-size a picture for the home screen? It shows a message "move and scale" but nothing happens. I pinch and re-size and then it just goes back.
Thanks
Steve

Once you take a photo w/ your camera it should save the photo in your photos. You then have a few options. You an MMS or email the photo to yourself if then you can upload. Websites like facebook you can upload from your camera roll on your iphone. I supposed it really depends on the website.
