New to NAS have setup question

Just bought the mycloud ex4. I have 4 hard drives that contain data I do not want to lose. All I want to do now is access the data on these drives from my new laptop. I want the drives to remain as individual drives, no raid right now. I need this data to setup my new laptop's software. They also contain backups from my old system. My old system was a tower which contained all these drives. I want to attach these drives to the laptop as 4 network attached drives.I am not experienced with NAS and I do not see how to do this in the instructions, which are mostly over my head. I have put the drives in the EX4 and I have connected it to my network. I can access the EX4 with my browser. Can you help me get started.Thanks

The only to keep those data is to connect your hard drive to a SATA convert to USB port. Which you can connect tothe NAS usb port.

We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS. We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project. With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment. I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000? How many Nics should I dedicate? Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion). Is this a setup I should continue with going forward? The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access. In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI). Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
Thanks for the help!

Tim,
Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course . Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth. The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter. For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS. We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe. Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies. B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards. In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options. In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied. When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc. See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
Regards,
Robert
BTW - Here's a couple Best Practice Guides with UCS & 1000v that you might find useful.

New to Apple have some questions.

Im looking into getting a portable music device with a large capacity. So far the Ipod Classic is the best as far as price goes but i had a few more questions about its performance and such.
First and for most Ive heard lots of people complain their Ipod broke down once they got it home or shortly there after, or they had any of a long list of troubles with the software. are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
Also my friends and i swap music a lot so right now my collection is only at 10 gigs but im expecting it to grow quite rapidly, can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes or will i have to buy new songs from Itunes? ive never had that bit explained fully too me before. How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen? And lastly are there any other issues i should be aware of as a newcomer to ipods? Thanks to all that can help answer my questions and give me a bit of advice.

are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
There are tens of millions of iPod owners. These are just a few vocal users who've been unlucky enough to receive a faulty device. Same goes for any electronic device - out of tens of millions of devices made, there's always a tiny chance one may have manufacturing defects - but the chances of getting one are miniscule.
I've upgraded through 4 various iPod models over the years, and never had a problem with any of them. My old iPods are still in use by the people who I passed them onto. I've also bought a few iPods as gifts, and they're still going strong too.
Also my friends and i swap music a lot
Well, that's illegal as you don't own the copyright to the music to share it, so you probably shouldn't broadcast that fact!
can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes
Yes.
How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen?
Well, I think the popularity of the iPod should speak for itself. If it wasn't a good product it would not have become so successful. iPods consistently get very high review scores.
As you've only got 10gb of music at the moment, why not get a 32 or 64gb iPod touch? There'll be plenty of space for your music library to grow into, plus you get the best touchscreen mobile internet, email, wi-fi device on the planet. Everyone raves about the iPod touch - just Google for some reviews.

Please help!! new home wireless music setup questions

I am building a new house, and I would like to have a system in which I can play music on itunes and wirelessly decide which speakers in the house I want to hear it on. Airtunes sounds great because I don't have to use new music playing software, but here is my issue: All of my speakers will be prewired to come into a central location. So do I have to have, like 10 airport expresses plugged in next to each other with the speaker wires coming into them at this central location? I suppose I could just have one airport express on my one stereo and control which speakers separately, but I really like the option of being able to decide in the itunes program which speakers the music plays on.
Other OS

That's not the way I would do it, that would also require 10 amplifiers .
I would build a central audio system using a DAC and connecting the airport express to the DAC for very good sound.
Then I'd splurge and go buy a Bang and Olufsen setup, they have a pretty (and) good way of dealing with multiple room multiple audio sources setups.
the system is described here:
http://www.bang-olufsen.com/web2/systems/beolink.asp?section=systems&prodid=1004 &sub=bl
and check out www.bang-olufsen.com for their systems.
I must say, I don't have a B&O system myself, but I do fancy them .

New to OSMF - have several questions (closed captions, tutorial, etc), please help!

Hello,
I came across OSMF this week and am extremely curious to learn more about this for my job and personal work/knowledge. If any of these questions could be answered I will be ever-so grateful!! Thank you.
1) Anyone know of or have any information or tutorials or plug-ins on how to make OSMF videos work with closed captions for single or a multi-video player gallery for each video? (captions - this is very important for my job)
2) Does anyone know of any good and easy to understand (I'm mid-level in AS3) tutorials and/or source files on how to build an OSMF player preferably in Flash?
3) I know Flash Builder (Flex) some, but am better with Flash (CS4/5), but a lot of what I see is for Flex... what is preferred for OSMF - Flex or Flash or it doesn't matter?
4) I searched Amazon.com, but couldn't find - are there any books for OSMF?
Sorry I posed this in Developers also, but unsure which is appropriate for my questions. Thank you, again.

Hi, Duane!
This may help with your questions re: captions..
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Captions
As for tutorials, we've got some links to ones created by members of the community here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=osmf.adobe:Community_Port al
And, as far as OSMF books, there aren't any third-party ones of which I'm aware. You can download a PDF of Adobe's OSMF Dev Guide here (the PDF link is at the upper right):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/OSMF/1.0/Dev/index.html
Or, you can view the very same content in topic-by-topic form at the wiki in the links above.
Best of luck with your endeavors!

I'm new to Macs, have a question about a 20" cinema display

Hi, I just got a used G5 with a 20" display. I am new to Macs, just trying to figure a few things out. The display is great, but when it comes to text some letters are not as sharp as I want them to be, plus the monitor is giving me a headache/eye strain - perhaps because of the frequency ( I did ot find a way to change it ). I'm running it at 1680x1050 which looks the sharpest but can it be better? How can I achieve sharper text and avoid the eye strain?
Thank you in advance for all the help.

You might try turning the brightness down...like way down...when reading text. LCD monitors are much brighter than CRT monitors of the past. The out-of-box configuration is usually way too bright for comfortable text use.
You can always turn the brightness back up when you want to look at photos and that sort of thing. The monitor I have at work is set to "0" brightness and it's still plenty bright.

New mac book pro setup questions

I am about to get a macbook pro dual 2.6 4gb ram 320gb 7200 hard drive.
I will be putting fc studio on it and was wondering how to arrange and use external hard drives.
I am not a big fan on letting the internal hard drives to all the work, so I have purchased a g raid 320gb using usb 2 and fw 2 now I would like to use this as my main video drive, how do I change this in fcp?
I was think of getting a second drive with same specs to maybe to all the rendering to take the pressure of the internal drives, is there a way in fcp to designate the render folder to my external drive?
As far as format goes I now shoot in HDV using sony sxs chips and import all my footage now days,
Thanks in advance,
regards
Daz

In FCP, use the System Settings menu (Shift Q) to change the default Render/Capture Scratch locations.

New iMac, have several questions

Community,
First of all I'm not sure if this is the right community to post to. My questions seem to span several forum categories. If there is a better general forum for my questions, please let me know.
I just got a new iMac, (21.5 inch late 2013), with a 1T fusion drive and pre-loaded with Yosemite (version 10.10.1). My "old" iMac is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo vintage 2006 model with 3G RAM and running Leopard and Snow Leopard. I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of my new iMac and Yosemite and I have some questions. Keep in mind that I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks, so please be patient.
1. I think I may already have the answer on this one (via the FAQ I read about Fusion Drives) but I'll ask anyway just to be sure I understand. On my previous macs, I've always partitioned my hard drive into 3 or 4 partitions and I would like to do the same with my new iMac. I tried following the Disk Utility Help but I'm running into a problem. Apparently I can only partition my fusion drive into two partitions. If I try to further partition either of those partitions I find I can only merge the existing two partitions back together. According to the Disk Utility help file, I should be able to create as many partitions as I want. So which is correct, the FAQ, (only two partition on a Fusion Drive), or the Disk Utility help, (as many partitions as I want)? And if I can have more than two partitions, how do I do that?
2. Related to question 1, I also have an external hard drive (plain vanilla iOmega type) that is connected to my old iMac via USB cable. I use it for backup storage. Will there be any problem using that drive with my new iMac?
3. One of my partitions is for Windows. I know OS X has Boot Camp but my understanding is that a user must restart when switching between OS X and Windows. Is that still true for Yosemite? If so, I'll stick with Parallels.
4. Related to question 3, the help link for setting up Boot Camp indicates I need a 64 bit version of Windows 7. I have a 32 bit version. Is that an issue (keep in mind, I'll likely be using Parallels)?
5. More on Windows. I see there is an option to format a Windows partition as MS-DOS FAT. On my old iMac my Windows partition was formatted as normal Mac OS Extended (journaled) and that works fine. Is there a reason I should format the Windows partition on my new iMac as MS-DOS FAT?
6. I miss seeing the hard drive icons on my desktop, everything seems to be in the dock. Is there a way to show my hard drive icon and any other partitions on my desktop?
7. Of course my biggest job will be to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one. The Firewire port on my old iMac is dead (zapped by lightning a few years ago). What is the best way to transfer data between the two computers? Note, I see a warning in the Disk Utility help file that "to prevent loss of data on your Fusion Drive don't connect it to a mac that's using a version of OS X older than 10.8.5". Is that warning relevant to transferring my data since my old iMac has
10.5.8 and 10.6.8?
That's my first barrage of newbie questions. There will likely be more.
John

Niel,
Thanks for the quick reply. I understand 1, 2 and 3. I'll check with the Parallels people to get full resolution on items 4 & 5. It's a shame about the restart requirement for Boot Camp.
Item 6 is a "duh". If I'd looked further I could have answered my own question.
For item 7 I didn't get a definitive answer to my question about the relevancy of the warning. Is there an issue? For the answer you did provide are you saying i should dump everything from my old iMac onto my external hard drive and then move that external drive to the new iMac and load it? With regard to using a network approach, all I have is airport to my DSL router from my old iMac and then either Firewire or airport from the router to my new iMac. How would I use that setup? I have no other local or remote "network".

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I have a question about japan new depriciation engine using non-japanese chart of deprication

Hi, all
I have a question about link between new depriciation engine and chart of depriciation.
My client want to use US chart of depriciation as standard chart of depriciation becuase it has already standard setting like IAS deprication keys.
it means I have to create Japanese chart of depriciation by copying from US chart of depriciation(non-japanese sample(0JP))
I have a little doubt about it. In my previous project, I copyed chart of depriciation by copy from Japan sample Chart of depriciation(0JP) stored in SAP.
Is it possible to copy from non-japan sample charg of depriciation to using Japanese new depriciation engine? I worried some errors will occrues if I do not use sample chart of depriciation(0JP) .
If I need to use sample Japanese chart of depriciation, please give me the idea why I need to use Japanese sample chart of depriciation. I want to know the examples of non-Japanese asset accouting consultants who have working experience in the area.
Thank you.

Hi, Narasimhulu
Thank you for your support.
My client use one COA to all over the world. And not only Japan, other country aslo use the COD which is copied from that of US. Basic reporting line is for USGAP. I will customize 2 depriciation ares, one for US GAP and another is JGAP. No need to create TAX realted customize. It means it enought only adding Japanese new depriciation keys to Current US COD. No need to add more Japanese local requirements.
In this case, I want to know follwoing point.
I know COD controll depriciation keys, but I want to know more detail about COD, what kinds of controls COD do. What is Japanese local requirements. Why better to use COPY of JP COD.
Thank you.
