Newbie setup questions before I accidently wreck something, please!

Hi, I have a brandnew Macbook white. My IP is MSN and I'd like to know how to access the email in MSN Explorer?
Is there a way to transfer my favorites in MSN to bookmarks in Mac?
If I set up a MAC email, is there a charge for that? Do I tell everyone a new email address?
Does the internet screen ever cover the whole desktop? Mine is rather small but I don't want to change the resolution to enlarge it.
Thanks for any help; I'm afraid to change any parameters in case I wreck something, never having been a Macgirl before!

See this for help on Mail set up for the MacBook. http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/mail/
Is there a way to transfer my favorites in MSN to bookmarks in Mac?
Go into explorer and under File choose *Import and Export*. Pick *next in the window that pops up. From the choices choose *Export Favorites* then Next. Hit Next in the next window. Choose where you want to put the file. Then push Next and then Finish.
Now move the file so you can get to it from your MacBook. Open Safari and under File choose *Import Bookmarks* click on the file and they should import to Safari.
If I set up a MAC email, is there a charge for that? Do I tell everyone a new email address?
See this for more info on .MAC http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
Does the internet screen ever cover the whole desktop? Mine is rather small but I don't want to change the resolution to enlarge it.
Drag the following Java script to your Safari bookmarks toolbar and name it what you want. Then when you click it it will be full screen. This also work on SeaMonkey, OmniWeb and FireFox.
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

Questions before getting macbook pro. help please!!!

I'm planning to get a macbook pro and I have a few questions before doing so.
1. Is there a way to manually switch the graphics card to the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT? As you all know the new macbook pros have 2 linked graphics cards and it will switch back and forth automatically depending on what you do, i.e. watching a movie or playing games would go to the 9600m GT card, whereas just browsing the internet would be on the 9400m card. I went to an Apple store and asked the people working there and they couldn't answer my question. One person said it was depending on the power saving and it always go to the better depending on what you do. Is there a way to manually switch it tho?
2. It's always nice to have the option of different OS's on the computer, so if I install Vista and Linux on there would the hardware work fine? When I say hardware I mean in terms of the graphics cards switching over automatically or manually, and if the backlit keyboard would work fine. The people working in the Apple store gave me 2 completely different answers because they're not sure about installing Vista or Linux. This would be using Bootcamp or another program... I don't intend on using Parallel at all.
3. One person from the Apple store said Linux is not support on Bootcamp, but I searched around online and saw people that were able to put Linux onto their macbooks. Can anyone enlighten me? Would everything work fine?
4. This next question is not related to Apple or macbooks. It's just a general question that I've had in mind. Do drivers or settings work properly/ok on different OS? Say if I got a mouse or keyboard that came with a program to change the settings [i.e. speed of mouse, and other options] and I switched over to another OS that I dualboot, would the settings stay the same on the other OS?
Tell me if you would like me to restate a question to make it easier to understand. Thanks for your help.

I was playing with the MBP in the Apple store and I did go to preference in attempt to switch to the 9600m gt graphics card. It seems to stay on the 9400m when you're just surfing the net, even if the settings are set to not save battery life so it's on higher performance. I'm looking to make it stay on the 9600m gt no matter what. Do you mind telling me how you manually switch? Where to go?
As for the auto-switch, the people working in the Apple store said it does automatically switch and detects what you're doing...

I ended up uninstalling every java this and that.. and tomcat.
Then installing only the j2sdk1.4.0_03 SDK.
Then set up JAVA_HOME for all users and modified the path with full path to the bin (c:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\bin)
Lastly I reinstalled tomcat and, voila, everything was working.
It can be quite maddening when you THINK you did everything by the boook and something doesn't work. When you replied and confirmed that I was on the right track.. uninstalling and trying yet again became les frustrating an option.
Thanks.
BTW- I needed this env to do the projects in what sems to be a very interesting book.. "macromedia Flash MC application design and development" by Jessica Speigel .. published by New Riders.
Her flash help website is at www.were-here.com.. the projects in the book are for flash-based multiplayer games and multi-user formums and such.

Initial Apple TV setup questions - before moving to France?

Sorry for these basic questions but I do need some help with a new installation. Help that the Best Buy salesman was too busy to provide.
I just bought a new Apple TV that I want to test on a TV in the states before moving it to France next month.
My questions, I think are simple:
Will the ATV go through a set up process in the states that will mess with the permanent installation in France?
Can I download I Tunes from two of my friends laptop to the ATV and store and use them in France without having the source Laptop/I-tunes accessible.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I've got a follow-up question: are there rumors regarding Apple TV making more content available? Is the lack of that content a business decision to keep people at iTunes, or a technical decision because of the varied formats available?
Here's the thing: I watched Battlestar Galactica on scifi.com's web site last night, b/c it's no longer on iTunes. TV content is getting unleashed all over the web (eg: ABC, Comedy Central, SciFi, Netflix); I have a hard time committing to getting all of my streamed content from iTunes.

Newbie setup question

I cannot see how to set up the software to 'grab' the result from a single sweep (single seq) event. I can do it fine on the scope (2024B), but not through the software interface from my laptop.
Scenario:
Photodetector (impedance matched) on Channel 1. Vert scale 20mV/div, Hor Scale set at 10uS/div. Trigger level at about 40mV. Click on "Single Seq" button, and system is 'Ready'. Fire a flash into the detector, the scope triggers and records the light pulse. No problem from the scope, but how do I do this from the software running on my tethered laptop, and how can I save the waveform (The USB Drive is way too slow!). I can see the Scope device ok, just cannot discern how to set things up.
Thanks in advance,
Roy Dunn.

I was afraid you were going to say something like that. My expertise is with NI and IVI equipment. Your problem is Tektronix specific. I will see who I can ping to give you a decent reply. In the meantime, you can try this:
Set up your scope with "sample" acquisition mode, "normal" trigger, and whatever trigger conditions are necessary for your particular signal (you should be able to do this from the step in SignalExpress). This will trigger at every event. However, from your previous posts, it appears you only have one event at very large intervals. If your scope has a local/remote control button, make sure it is set to remote control.
Add a save step from the File I/O menu to save the data from the scope step or log the output of the scope step. This will save your data to disk after a successful acquisition.
Run. At this point, nothing should happen until you trigger your experiment. Then you should see a single acquisition which is saved to disk by SignalExpress.
Stop. You may have to Abort.
The Tek folks monitor these boards, so you should get a better answer from them.

Newbie Trigger question - before delete

We have a table A - Primary Key A1, and Table B has a column B1 foreign key to A1 column.
We need to mass delete table A records which are more than 3 months old, but we do not want to delete Records from Table B, just nullify the foreign key column in table B.
So "ON DELETE CASCADE" is not applicable in our situation. Is creating a trigger with before delete option the only way to solve the above?
If yes, when inside the trigger action, how can I access the table A primary key value to find out if I have a possible match in table B? How to represent (current rows's A1 value) ?
For example - trigger action
CREATE TRIGGER DEL_A
BEFORE DELETE ON A
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE X;
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*) INTO X
    FROM B WHERE B1 = (current row's A1 value);
    IF X > 0
    THEN
       UPDATE B SET B1 = NULL
       WHERE B WHERE B1 = (current row's A1 value);
   END IF;
ENDIs the above code correct, or is there any better way to do the same?
Thanks in advance,
Rumpa

where B1 = :A1
You probably mean "where b1 = :old.a1" ...
Regards,
Rob.

JSP Newbie setup question

I installed Tomcat 4.0.3 and I had IIS running on my Win2k system. I thought I could make JSP work using IIS but I read somewhere that you have to make some modifications to get it to work. Then I realized that I had Apache 1.3 installed on my system. I know that Apache is running ok because I can successfully get to the default home page. However, after installing TomCat, the instructions tell you to browse http://localhost:8080 to get to the TomCat default page but I get a page not found error. Any ideas?

After looking at it further, your right, the Tomcat server didn't start. I thought it was running but it is not. I run the startup.bat file and it launches a window but it closes too quick to show me the error msg. I tried launching the shutdown command anyway and got this for an error:

A question before buy movie and music, please help.

Hi, I've just created itunes account and planing to buy some music and movie.
But I've got my worries so before I buy I want to make sure. I'm sorry if someone has already ask them.
1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
Thank you for your response

1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
Yes you can. You just CANNOT sync with iTunes. You can either use Windows Media Player to sync OR manually drag and drop into your phone. I strongly recommend letting Windows Media Player sync it to your phone, it will convert the music format compatible for a Nokia.
2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
If Media Player Classic supports the proper format for iTunes movies, yes you can. You don't have to use iTunes to watch the movie, after downloading iTunes, it also downloads Quicktime Player of which you can use to watch iTunes movies.
3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
You can use a harddisk, USB flash drive, any iDevice to hold all you music and videos. As long as you have enough memory on any of the devices I told.
Hope all this info. helps. Good luck.

i accidently downloaded something that made my webcam flash on spuradically even once i deleted it. when i restarted my computer it got stuck at the white loading screen with the grey apple and wont go past there..what is wrong? will applecare cover this? my computer also slowed down drastically before it stopped working..thanks! HELP PLEASE!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

A few questions before buying a spectre x360

Hi I'm considering buying a 13" Spextre x360 once Win10 arrives in final version - but have a few questions before going ahead. Mostly looking into the 4041no (i'm from Denmark) - or similar configuration. I need a configuration with at least 500 GB of hard drive and 8 GBs of RAM. 1. Will the spectre support all the new windows 10 touchpad gestures (similar to OS X/Mac gestures)? I have read something about the touch pad on the not being a "precision touchpad" but instead being run by synoptic drivers or something. Don't know exactly what it means. I come from a Mocbook Pro - and these gestures are so good. 2. One of the things some talk about in reviews is heat - that the x360 gets very hot to hold. Even just browsing the web. And also fan noise being loud. Any experience here - is it just a few unfortunate buyers, or are any of these issues generic. 3. Browsing the web there are so many different model numbers, that i can't keep up - and some of them seem to be identical configurations. Is there any overview of what is what. For instance 4041no and 4040no seem identical - but there is a difference in price, at the stores i have seen online. Similarly there is a 4030no and a 4032no. What are all these models. different numbers for every store/country/????. Any help here.. 4. The 4041no model i'm looking into has this QHD screen. Very high resolution. How is that in everyday life for surfing the web (mostly Chrome), Photoshop, watching movies local/streaming and more. It seems that everything will be very small, or is there scaling options or other stuff that makes this high resolution usable in real life. Or maybe lower the resoltion in settings. Any experience? I will soon try to find one in a real store to try out if possible. Think i'll start with those questions :-) And maybe also some generel feedback on the spectre x360. Thanks /Jonas

Hi Jonas,
I have the 4014 model (core i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram and FHD screen) so I can answer some but not all of your questions.
1. Touchpad is responsive and easy to use for me. Just upgraded to windows 10 and multi touch gestures are working fine. Three finger tap to open search, four finger tap to open the quick settings panel. Three finger flicks do app switching and minimising. The pad is controlled by the synaptic driver, but it has quite a few options and seems to work well for me.
2. Heat is not an issue for me. Sure, it gets warm when running intensive tasks, but as long as you are not pushing the cpu for long periods of time, it will be fine on your lap. Browsing the web, the fan will come on briefly when I load 10 or more tabs at a time, otherwise the fan will remain off.
Being an aluminium chassis, it has the ability to transfer heat out of the shell more easily than a plastic laptop, so you might notice it getting warm quicker, but it also cools down fast.
The fan is no louder than any other laptop I have used.
3. Can't help you with model numbers, sorry.
4. I'm finding that a lot of applications do not scale correctly on my FHD screen, so I can imagine that the QHD would be the same or worse. Most of the time, you can get the applications to look better by turning off display scaling in the compatibility settings. Sometimes this means that the application then looks smaller on screen, though text, images and icons are sharp, they are harder to read. The QHD would make these apps even smaller. I do not think QHD is worth it on a small screen for this reason.
In general the laptop works well. I use it in my job as a teacher, and being able to convert from laptop to tablet is a huge benefit. It is super fast to start up and easily gets me through a school day (quite often getting home with more than half a charge). I will just close the lid between uses and it sleeps, drawing very little power. It is capable of running Photoshop and office apps, while browsing the web and doing some light duty CAD modeling on the side.
One small issue that I and a few others have had is a crackling, buzzing noise due to the processor power regulation. Only audible in really quiet rooms or when putting an ear close to the device, when the computer is idling. Not an issue for everyday use, but something to be aware of if you have sensitive hearing or are annoyed by slight imperfections.
Hope that answers a few of your questions.

Newbie script question... consecutive numbers with update.

complete newbie type question... this is also my first post. ( I am using CS3)
does anyone have a script which can make it so I can add numbers into the text consecutively.
for example, if this is my text "the big fat dog sat on the very wide mat, but was then displaced by a unfriendly cat."
and I wanted to place a number 1, number 2, 3, etc at points in the text so it read, "the big fat dog1 sat on the very wide mat2, but was then displaced by a unfriendly cat3." but later wanted to add another number and have later numbers update themselves, so the text then said, "the big fat dog1 sat on the very wide mat2, but was then displaced3 by a unfriendly cat.4".
by inserting the three, the previous three became four.
Has anyone got something which might be useful in this regard.
Many thanks
Steve

i wanted to avoid footnotes as they leave a bar at the bottom of each page.
i wanted a script to do something similar to footnotes but not much further.
does anyone have just a simple script that can do what I asked?

LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

Hi Frank,
i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
this is my original post from early this week:
JAAS Setup question
thanks,
brenden

Brenden,
please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.
Frank

I by accident downloaded something call geniel. How can I get rid of it?

I by accident downloaded something call geniel. How can I get rid of it?

You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Reset Search.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

Workflow Manager - Setup question

I have installed SQL server 2012 express and sharepoint 2013 on a windows 2008 server. I did this to "kick the tires" on the newest sharepoint version. I had previously chosen the development option but I always got stuck in the same spot. Workflow
manager. Specifically in registering the workflow service.
I am a newbie so I apologize if this is something relatively simple. I have tried numerous things to try and get 2013 workflows running on the server but I have not been successful. When I open up a site in designer and click on workflows, I only see 2010
workflows, and underneath that, I see "the option for the sharepoint 2013 workflow platform is not available because the workflow service is not configured on the server. Please contact your service administrator."
I have tried to register the workflow service using both http, and https. I did not check 'allow http' during workflow setup, but the site collection opens with HTTP://myservername/sites/workflows, so I added https to this site in IIS.
When I check the workflow management site in IIS, under browse web site, it says browse *:12290 (https). When I click on browse, it brings up an IE browser window and the URL is https://localhost:12290. It says that there is a problem with this website's
security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
When I click on continue to this website, this appears on the page.
Root Scope2013-05-09T17:33:00.6172013-05-09T17:33:00.617/Microsoft.Workflow.Management.Security.WindowsSecurityConfigurationBUILTIN\AdministratorsActive
There is a little popup at the bottom saying that only secure content is displayed. When I click on show all content, this is what appears on the page:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<ScopeInfo xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/workflow/2012/xaml/activities" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><DefaultWorkflowConfiguration/><Description>Root Scope</Description><LastModified>2013-05-09T17:33:00.617</LastModified><LastRevised>2013-05-09T17:33:00.617</LastRevised><Path>/</Path>-<SecurityConfigurations>-<ScopedSecurityConfiguration
i:type="WindowsSecurityConfiguration"><Name>Microsoft.Workflow.Management.Security.WindowsSecurityConfiguration</Name><WorkflowAdminGroupName>BUILTIN\Administrators</WorkflowAdminGroupName></ScopedSecurityConfiguration></SecurityConfigurations><Status>Active</Status></ScopeInfo>
Being that this is all on the same server, maybe I am not putting in the right info. I input the following into sharepoint 2013 management shell, run as administrator:
register-spworkflowservice -spsite "https://sharepoint-ki3/sites/workflows" -workflowhosturi "https:localhost:12291"
I get the following error message:
register-spworkflowservice : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. Client ActivityId: e218b8a2-0655-4d09-8f4d-5cbc09f3ddf7. At line:1 char:1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData (Microsoft.SHare...workflowservice:RegisterSPWorkflowservice) [Register-spworkflowservice], WorkflowCommunicationException.
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: Microsoft.Sharepoint.WorkflowServices.Powershell.RegisterSPWorkflowService
Any idea how to resolve this? Should I just install workflow manager on another machine and be done with it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking this out.

The link under the workflow section of
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/15289.sharepoint-2013-best-practices-creating-a-development-environment.aspx#Configure_Workflows_for_SharePoint_TwentyThirteen explains how to set up workflow manager and configure it within sharepoint.

Questions before I buy Time Capsule

Hi All
I hope you can please help with my questions before I go and buy a time capsule. I currently have a 5 month old 2.4ghz mbp and a PC running Vista. The PC is connected via ethernet to a billion 7402GL and the mbp connects via wireless. I was going to buy an external hard drive to store data and I thought I might try the time capsule as it will be networked.
I am not 100% sure I know how time capsule works so any info would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to work out the setup in my head I have had a read through these forums but I thought I would ask specific questions in relation to my setup.
When I connect the time capsule to the billion can I still use the billion for wireless or do I have to use the time capsule? Also do I connect the TC to the Billion using ethernet or wireless? I want the mbp to access the data on the TC via wireless and the pc via ethernet. I will be getting an imac once I sell my pc so that will also need to connect to TC. I will mainly use the TC for storing data but I might start using time machine as well. Is it possible for a ps3 to access TC?
I will be attaching a printer to it so I would want to be able to print from any computer that connects to the network.
What would be the best setup? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If you already have a working wired/wireless network, and a spare ethernet port on your router, just connect the TC to the router with an ethernet cable. Turn off the TC's wireless, and it'll work fine.
No need to change any of your connections, you can carry on using your existing router.
Printing will work fine from any computer connected to your router (or to the TC, if you wish), but the printer driver needs to be installed on each computer, and the printer has to be one that works with the TC.
I don't think that there's a way of using the TC as a server with a PS3. The PS3 needs to see a DLNA server - I don't think that there's any way to get this running directly on a TC.
You can get a Mac to run as a DLNA server (application called "MediaLink"), and it might be possible to get the Mac to link to the TC. This way, you could access the TC from the PS3, but the Mac would have to be switched on for it to work.

Newbie setup questions before I accidently wreck something, please!
