New user needs help with HD choices

I just found this forum and it looks like something I am going to enjoy. I have Premiere Pro CS 5.0 and use it to process AVCHD video. My hardware is made up of Asus P9X79 Pro, i7 3930k, 16 GB memory, and GTX 470 vid card. I also have an SSD as my main boot drive - it is an OCZ Revodrive.
I would like help in setting up my hard drives for the Adobe software, so have listed my storage drives along with current usage and ATTO benchmark results:
Drive 0 - Revodrive - ATTO = 800 - Used for Win 7 -64 Pro and Adobe software
Drive 1 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for MTS file storage
Drive 2 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for Scratch Files
Drive 3 - Samsung 1TB - ATTO = 60 - Used for Finished files (Encore files and for saving MP4 files for web upload)
Drive 4 - WD Black 1TB - ATTO = 120 - Used for backup
Drive 5&6 - 2 each Hitachi 750GB in Raid - ATTO = 180 - Used for backup (Drives are attached to Marvel Raid port on Motherboard)
I realize that drive #3 is the slowest drive and should probably be used for other things. I am open to suggestions.

Happy New Year and wecome to the forum!
Sounds like a strong system, and it should be just fine for AVCHD video.
Suggest:
Boot / OS / programs - Revodrive is fine; you can also assign media cache and media cache DB (CS5 setting) to this drive
Data drive - create a RAID 0 array from your current drives 1 and 2 - use this for projects and media, and pretty much whatever other data needs you have for your PC
scratch / output drive - use for current matching 5 & 6 Hitachi's in RAID 0 for scratc and render outputs
all others - use 3 & 4 for backups
You should probably run PPBM5 and report the 4 "scores" to the PPBM5 site and also back here to get a reality check that everything is configured and working properly for your system.

New user: Need help with my phone. iSync on a G3 with OSX 10.3.9

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so take it easy on me. LOL I just got a Sony Ericsson W810. I found out that I need to get iSync. Aparently iSync 2.2 is the program I need. Is this available for my version of OSX? I'm not sure if a new version of OSX is compatible with my G3. Any help? Much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discusssion.
iSync 1.5 is the version which shipped with and works with Mac OS X releases prior to 10.4 - iSync 2 and later packages are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or any release of the OS. With Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, came a completely new synchronization technology: the Sync Services framework.
You can find out what, if any, options exist for SONY Ericsson users here, at Julian Wright's excellent site:

New user needs help with syncing

I have a new Curve. I use Comcast mail (POP3). I have installed Desktop Manager on my PC. I am not using an Enterprise server, nor an Exchange server. I would like to be able to receive, read, and delete using either device and have any changes reflected in the other.
From what I've read, it appears that you can only do that if you're using an Enterprise server or if you have an Exchange server and you install Redirector. Is that true? Or can my set up work?

POP3 email does not require a BES connection.
However you do need to make sure you are paying the service fee to the carrier for a BIS data plan.

New User: Needs Help with getting started with the Z

Hi, my son got a creative Zen for xmas, only getting round to getting it together now, and having some problems with the manual. All this is new to us -technology etc. We have managed to rip a CD but cant get any further! Downloading from internet sounds like such a good idea, but 'know-how-to do' seems light years away in this house! Is there an easy start manual or step by step directions that I've missed out on somewhere? the quick start manual is fine for learning how to use the player but doesn't give any info on ripping CDs and whatever comes after. Can any of you 'experts' bring yourselves back to the begining and explain what to do in simple english?

Mother,
I moved and edited your message as your are more likely to get help out here. As far as suggestions go for downloading from the internet goes, there is not a lot of difference between getting it from CDs. The main difference is the process of actually getting the music.
First off there are several music stores out there and some that are free. Here are a few suggestions (this is all personal knowledge, this is not an official endorsement of any of these):
Napster - Integrates into Windows Media Player if you desire and can transfer directly to most Zens. Also allows a user to subscribe to an account that allows for streaming and computer only downloads of music (must purchase song to transfer to the player...usually around .99 a song)
Buymusic.com - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
Wallmart music store - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
There are others but these three are the mains ones (outside of itunes, which is designed for the Ipod).
Basically once you download them, you go into MediaSource or Windows Media Player and add the files to the music library. Then you just transfer like you do with CDs.

New user needs help with Email account questions

Good day - I have been a 10-year user of Blackberrys (Curve, Bold, and earlier models). Just received a new Q10 for work. Enterprise Outlook synched up and I am getting all emails, calendar, and contact information as in the past. All good with this. Here are my questions I cannot find answers to anywhere:
1) How can I insert a "signature" with emails I compose from Q10?
2) How can I delete all emails on Q10, rather than one at a time?
3) How do I set the Q10 to only delete from phone and not network. In other words I only want to delete emails from the Q10 device and not my PC.
Appreciate any help. Thank you,
Chris

#3 is even easier
Go to Hub settings, then display and actions and drag down, you'll see the option 'delete'.
Regards.
Blackberry! Here, now, forever!

New user - need help with PC Suite use

Hello. I have a new Nokia 6233, and have installed the current version of PC Suite (6.84.10.4), but can't figure out how to make certain things work that seem like they should. I'm using Windows XP with Service Pack2, and am connecting my phone with my PC via Bluetooth.
1) I have installed an application using the Install Applications component of PC Suite, and it now shows that the new app is on the phone -- but how do I actually get it from showing up in that category on PC suite to the actual phone?
2) I have hundreds of phone numbers that migrated over poorly from my old Sony Ericsson via SIM, and would like to edit them on the PC instead of on the phone. However, I see nothing under Contacts in PC Suite. How do I get the PC to recognise the contacts on the phone? If I enter new ones on the PC, how do I get them to the actual phone?
Thanks in advance if you can help!
//Albie

Hi,
1) Do you mean that you can not find installed application from phone (or what)?
2) Try to update Contacts folder -> open Nokia Phone Browser > "phone name" > Contacts > and press F5 button.
Contacts folder includes also button for create a new contact and when you click "Save", it saves that in phone.
BTW: if you contacts are in SIM card -> you have to copy those first in phone memory.

New user needs help with time machine and mac server.

I am a new mac user and got a new mac mini running server. I have time machine enabled on the server and a back up folder created. My macbook will not see the server when trying to set up time machine from the macbook. What am I missing? Thanks.

Unfortunately even though Apple had touted the AEBS USB2 HD use with TimeMachine (TM) they pulled it from the Leopard TM feature list about 1 week before releasing Leopard GNBuild 9A581.
At this time Apple does not support use of the AEBS USB HD for use TM.
I strongly suspect we will see this feature return in one of the next two updates Apple releases for Leopard.
In the meantime be patient and I don't recommend you use a hack to circumvent the current TM limitation.

New User needs help with starting SDK

I downloaded the J2EEsdk-1_4 files and completed the installation. I have looked at all the tutorials and quick-start documentation, but cannot find how to begin building an application. All I needed was very minimal Java parts to write a "Hello World" program for a class, but it prompted me to get the whole package.
How do I get to a prompt window to write some code, then compile it, then run it? I tested the local server as it suggested and it is working, and I ran their sample program and it worked.
I just need a pointer to get me started. I don't need all the web deployemnt stuff, etc....
Sorry for the silly questions but you gotta start somewhere.
Thanks

Brent In Iowa, you're on the Air.

Yeah but that's my problem Mr. McNealy. How do I write Hello World?
First, Brent, ya gotta download the right SDK. Not the J2EE but the J2SE. Then ya gotta follow the links on the let for the tutorials.
Thanks for your question. Our next caller, George is in Boise, Idaho. Hello, Boise.

New user needs help with full windows reinstall/itunes

ok
my first time on here so be gentle,
ok heres my problem, be using itunes for a whilenow with my nano, never had any problems, always just got my mp3's, then just clcked "add folder" in itunes, and then pointed to the said album, and in it goes.
now my problem is, iam about to do a full reinstall of my win xp, however, 1. i have no idea how to back up my music with itunes., and 2., my actuall musc tracks are all over the hard drive.
so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......
...i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....
lots of questons i know, but pretty desprate to get on with my reisntall...
thaks in advance for ay help.

pc Windows XP Pro

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.

Hi Michelle
In order to add tables to existing report.
1. Open the existing report.
2. Go to 'Database' from the Menu.
3. Then go to 'Database Expert'.
4. If you want to add tables in addition to the existing tables in the report and if the tables are present in same connection then you can directly add new tables to your report from the 'Data' window under the 'Database Expert'.
Hope this helps...

New User Needs Help with Linux OBIEE Install via Terminal

Hi All - I'm installing Linux OBIEE. I'm on a Mac and thus can't use the GUI install option. I've unzipped the tar and now am stuck. Where do I need to be on my server (I know not root) and what command do I use to actually install OBIEE. I've tried setup.sh but it's not working properly and thus I am assuming I'm doing something incorrectly.
Many thanks for your help.

I can use my mac for installs but prefer to use a VNC Server session on the Linux box and a VNC Client on the mac to do remote installs as it survives network bumps.
If you want to use your mac as an XServer to do the install you have to have X11 installed (have a look at http://developer.apple.com/Darwin/runningX11.html)

New User needs help with Bluetooth

Call the experienced ones out there. I'm the proud owner of a new 3GS Iphone, which I'm unable to pair with anything. I walk through the electronics store and it finds lots of devices to pair with. However it willnot find my PC (IBM Thinkpad) or my cars built in Bluetooth (Mercedes Ml500). Have tried all I know including power off through to complete reload of all software, now pulling whats left of my hair out......Take pity if there is a magic fix and share the love....Thanks Gary

Bluetooth in the iPhone 3GS is very limited compared to most other Bluetooth enabled phones.
It can only be used for the following:
1) Internet tethering (connecting your computer to the internet via the iPhone's internet connection, but only if your network provider allows it)
2) Peer to peer games between other iPhone and iPod touch devices
3) Connecting to Bluetooth headsets and compatible Bluetooth stereo systems.
You will not be able to use Bluetooth for file transfers, sending contact info, syncing music, pictures or anything like that.

New User needs help with If Else

I'm new to action script and programing. The problem I'm
facing is how to create a if else statement. I have a lot of
buttons that when rolled over, a larger image appears. All the
buttons are on the same layer. I was wondering if there is a simple
way to create an if else statement that allows the buttons to come
forward when being rolled over, that way, it's not underneath any
of the other images. I want to apply this to all the buttons. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

if you had three buttons, named say box1, box2, box3, then
this code will move them to the front when they are rolled
over:

New User: Needs Help with Creative pla

Hey, I have had my Zen Micro for about 3 months now, and just recently the only thing the screen will say is CREATIVE. When I turn the power switch on/off it won't do anything at all. And when I charge it the lights glow but there isnt a battery sign flashing. What is the problem with my Zen? Please reply, Thank You
<EM>Moderator Note: Moved this to it's own thread for visibility purposes</EM>
Message Edited by Jeremy-CL on 02-02-2005 0:09 AM

Can you get into Rescue Mode? If so, try a Disk Cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode on the Zen Micro, remove the battery, hold the power switch to the "on" position, reinsert the battery. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
