  • Networking two NI lookout servers with different windows OS

    Can I networking two NI lookout servers with 50
    I/O, one with windows98 SE and one with Withows XP pro.?

    What's your lookout version on two computers? You need first to make two lookouts run, and then try to networking them. For example, if you run lookout 6.2 on windows 98, I'm not sure if it will work.

  • I am unable to load the newest itunes update to my 10.5.8 osx. The update requires 10.6 so this makes me unable to sync my updated phone and ipad with my imac. Solutions?

    I am looking for suggestions and possibly a solution to the following problem: The new itunes update requires at least a 10.6 os.x. My imac is a 10.5.8. I am unable to sync my iphone or ipad, which both have the update, with my imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • HT1338 iCloud and Safari with my iMac

    When logging on to iCloud, I am told that I should upgrade to Safari 6.0.  I am currently running Safari 4.0.  When following the prompts for software update, no updates are available.  Any advice?Icloud and Safari with my Imac

    To use iCloud you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • Setup wireless network for mac and pc with Airport Express?

    Mac Mini/OSX/10.8.2/Airport Express
    Question,
    I have my AIrPort Express setup for my Mac Mini and I have dell computer that I want to share the wireless network. Is it possible to setup a wireless network with my mini and the pc using only the AirPort Express? Is the Airport Express a wireless router?
    Thanks,

    If your Mac Mini is connecting to the Express using wireless, then this confirms that the device is working correctly. 
    The Express is a wireless router that can support up to 10 wireless connections, so your Dell computer should be able to connect assuming that its wireless card is working correctly, and the Dell indentifies the network and enters the correct wireless network password.
    If you are having difficulty with the Dell PC connecting, this Windows troubleshooting document might help:

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 playback freezing and crashing with new iMac i7

    Using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and having constant playback freezing and software crashes on a brand new iMac i7.
    Here are the specs:
    iMac i7 4.0GHz 5k Retina
    32 GB Ram
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB graphics card
    512GB Solid State Drive
    I was on chat yesterday with an Adobe tech. Although playback/render settings show the OpenCL option to utilize the AMD graphics card for processing, I was advised to switch to "Software Only" as that card is not supported yet. I had to re-render my 45 minute documentary (which doesn't appear to be any faster than it was on my old 2011 iMac by the way) and it still has the same issues.
    So frustrating? Anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? I hope I didn't just buy this "super machine" in vein.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi All,
    Taking some tips from Kevin Monahan. If you haven't already gone through this list please do so.
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Best,

  • Is a windows network render farm/slave compatible with an iMac?

    I have an iMac user in my office who would like to set-up a render farm or slave for his iMac. Since Mac products are expensive I am hoping we can build a windows machine to accomplish this. We currently use Adobe CC 2014, so we would need the render farm/slave to work with After Effects and Premier Pro.
    Looking for good affordable solutions that won't be a cross platform nightmare to set-up and configure. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, Indeed. I am selecting the Bootcamp partition, and If I do Format, It informs me that all we be deleted, ok fair enough. then I can click the NEXT button, but I got then a msg stating :
    Setup was u nable to create a new system partion or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup Log Files for more informations.
    I have not more option here, I can delete, then create a new one with same size then format again, but same message at the end. this is my issue.

  • How can I sync my Ipad contacts and calendars with my Imac? Can I go back to previous OS?

    The main use of our Imac for my OH has been spoilt with the new operating system.  He is getting a message "moving calendars to serveraccount" and it is taking hours to do.  He used to sync easily by cable. 

    iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad   . If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • Synching iPhone and iPad with new iMac - former pc user

    I'm trying to determine to most efficient way to set up iTunes and synching of my iPhone 4 and iPad on my new iMac. I am finally moving away from using a pc and am facing the issue of trying to preserve all the content on my devices as I set up the iMac. I'm ditching the old oc iTunes library. The iMac will br the primary (and only) iTunes library going forward.
    I realize I'll need to manually transfer mp3 files from the pc to the iMac (those ripped from CDs and not purchased on iTunes) and re-establish the library. But how do I avoid losing all the aps and music I purchased on my old pc as I set up the iMac iTunes?
    I'm also interested in saving the contacts I've built on my iPhone - using that as the basis for my iMac contacts.
    I have no intention of using the pc again -- fully realize you cannot synch to two iTunes libraries.
    Any suggestions on how to begin to minimize hassle and minimize any file loss is much appreciated!

    Should try by copying the itunes folder from your pc to your iMac. That should work.

  • What is the easiest way to sync Google Cal and Contacts with an iMac?

    iTunes will sync Google Contacts, but not calendar. Weird. Why? What's the best fix?

    There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
    1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
    Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
    Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks.  The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
    If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

  • Dual networks, express and extreme problem with Intel iMac accessing both

    I have two airport networks setup to two different ISP's. One is setup using two Airport Expresses with a printer hung off one. The other is setup with an Airport Extreme with two USB disks.
    I have a G4 iBook 14" laptop and a MacPro 17" Intel laptop that see and can bee switched between both networks utilizing Internet Connect. They are running OS X 10.4.11.
    The other system is an Intel iMac 20" (late 2006) running OS X 10.5.1. The only wireless network it sees is the Airport Extreme. This is frustrating because I want to be able to switch to the Express network to print and cannot get the iMac to recognize the network. Before upgrading to 10.5.1, I could, on occasion, see the other network, now I can not.
    Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it? I believe it is operating in 802.11n, but have no way to verify this.

    I miss posted this in windows. I reposted this in the Airport Extreme.
