Hard Drive Crashed - New Drive Installed - How to Write to External?

Not sure if this is the right forum. Please re-direct me if necessary.
My hard drive crashed last week. Files were non-recoverable. I installed a new hard drive, new OS, and new apps.
Question: How do I now write to my external hard disk? Before my hard drive crashed I had set my external to sharing with "read only." Now, with my new hard drive and OS, I can only "read only." But I use that disk to store backup files and I want to use it with Time Machine. So how can I write to it?

New 11i install - how many nodes

We are looking to install the Financials modules of 11i (AP/AR/FA/GL) and trying to decide on platform out of Red Hat Linux and AIX 5L both of which we are familiar with.
One thing that will influence this decision is the number of nodes required.
How do we decide if a single node install will suffice ?
Is this purely a performance/sizing issue, or are there other factors (ease of install/patching ?).
Is a 2 node install more standard ?
We will have approx. 40 concurrent users, we will be importing approx. 7000 AR invoice lines and 700 AP invoice lines daily.
Any advice or pointers to documents/discussions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Colin

OCS on Linux was one of the most miserable installations I have ever done. There was anote on Metalink that said the most important thing for installing OCS on Linux was to know what you are doing (or more to the point, what to do for every failure).
If you go with Linux, you can have up a 1.7 GB SGA. Most people set sga_target for 11i on Linux and let the database dynamically adjust db_cache_size and shared_pool size as it wants throughout operation. For 40-50 users, you should only need 1-2 GB of pga_aggregate_target.
The amount of RAM consumed by sessions is trickier to estimate. In an 11.5.10.2 instance with no users, you will have at least 100 sessions. 40-50 concurrent users will have at least 2 sessions, most likely 5 or 10, depending on how many forms they open. I see 5.6 GB of UGA/PGA memory used by 254 sessions, so that averages to about 20MB each. The amount of UGA/PGA varies drastically as some processes use very little and some use hundreds of MB. Also, each forms process tend to average about 50 MB per open form. The applications processes will need at least 2 GB for JVMs, concurrent managers etc.
When you add it all up, it is tough to fit a 50 user production 11.5.10.2 system on 8 GB of RAM. 16 GB is actually pushing it as well. I have 50-60 users on a single node 32 GB Sun V440 that usually sits around 15GB free. They have not finished implementing all products and users, so I pushed for 32 GB over 16 to avoid paging problems when they are fully utilized.

Using Adobe Acrobat XI, uploaded my form from my Word. How do I format spaces for SSN, DOB, Phone number?

I'm trying to create a new client form how do I format the spaces numerically for DOB, SSN and phone number??? HELP! Can I do this on Adobe Acrobat XI????

Not sure what you mean by uploaded form. Did you print to the Adobe PDF printer, use the Save As Adobe PDF, use Save As PDF or XPS, use the Acrobat menu in WORD, or try to open the word file in Acrobat directly? Assuming you printed to the Adobe PDF printer, then you select the TOOLS>Interactive and select the Form Wizard. Otherwise, you simply use the tools under the interactive menu. You might find the following video useful: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-pdf-forms-from-existing-documents. The form tools are under the interactive menu (I could give better direction if I was at home where I have AA XI).

Installing new drive for OSX-How do I format and remove existing drive

I'm going to replace the 320G drive that came in my Mac Pro with a 500G. I want to format and remove the 320G, then put OSX on the 500G. How would I go about this.

Hi,
Shut down computer, add the 500GB drive into one of the open hard drive slots, reboot, there might be a window that pops up indicating if you want to "intialize" the new drive. Click Intialize (If nothing comes up launch disk utility located in applications--> utilities--> disk utility).
In the disk utility window, locate the new drive on the left side column. Click on the drive, and in the middle portion of the window there will be 5 tabs: First Aid, Erase, Partition, RAID, Restore. Click Partition.
Under Volume Scheme, choose how many partitions you want. I your case you probably just want 1 partition, so choose 1 partition.
Name the volume under volume information, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for format.
Looking at the buttons below press "Options". Your mac is intel make sure "GUID Partition Table" is clicked.
Press Partition. Wait a couple seconds for it to partition. Once done, it will show up on the desktop. It's ready to go.
Next step to decide is if you want to fresh install the OS onto this new 500GB drive OR simply clone over your 320GB. This is up to you. If you don't want to reinstall everything just use a cloning program such as "Superduper!" or "Carbon Copy Cloner".
If you want to fresh install the OS, insert the OS disk that came with the mac pro. Restart. When restarting hold down the letter "c" on the keyboard to boot from disk. Follow the instructions, and choose "erase and install". If you are going to fresh install, BE SURE TO CHOOSE THE BLANK 500GB, NOT YOUR CURRENT 320GB. To fresh install, the choice is "Erase and Install" I think. Install and your 500GB drive should be ready to go, with a brand new OS installed.
Whether you choose to clone over your system, or fresh install, if possible always run "Disk Warrior" or "Tech Tools" maintenance disks if you have them either after the OS install or after installing all your applications.
Have fun!

Since it is showing up in Disk Utility, try selecting it, then clicking the Partition button, choosing GUID partition table as an Option and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.

A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

I just bought a new IMac. I have photoshop elements installed on my old IMac and would like to move it to the new one. How can i do this?

Unfortunately, adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 available for download, as far as i know, so your best bet is to either get an usb dvd drive or use an computer with a dvd drive and copy the contents of the pse 6 dvd to somethiing like
a flash drive and then copy the contents from that drive to your new computer.
Do you still have your older mac and it has a dvd drive?
You can share files between the two using airdrop or an ethernet cable.

How do I install Mountain Lion AND format the hard drive?

I want to do a completely clean install of Mountain Lion.
I had Snow Leopard installed, upgraded to Mountain Lion (by buying it from the App Store) but how do I tell it to format the drive and then install Mountain Lion?

Snow Leopard would have needed to be installed on a properly formatted drive, so I don't understand why you would need to format it again to that same format.
