Not sure if this is the right product for my needs! Can someone help me out

Im a graphic designer who lives an hour away from my permanent employer. To help cut down on travel expenses and to get through the horrible winters we have I want to be able to access my work computer from home. Specifically be able to access files on my work computer as well as print the files that are on my home and work computers to the printers at my work.
I tried gotomypc.com and you cant print remotely. I am on a free trial of logmein.com and I find it not user friendly at all. Im able to print remotely just fine but I dont like how open and unguarded my computer is without a black out screen or curtain mode.
Is Apple Remote Desktop a good fit for my needs or is there some other software out there?

ARD will not allow you print from your home system to your printers at work either. You could transfer the documents from your home system to your work system and then print, but you don't need ARD for that. File sharing, for transferring the documents, and the Screen Sharing built into Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 to take control of the work computer, would be all you need and wouldn't cost you anything additional.
If, however, you need the ability to "curtain" the screen at work, then you would need ARD. Another, somewhat less expensive, option would be Timbuktu.
Regards.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this.. disk drive icon on desktop

for msn messanger. Im a new PC to mac user (3 DAYS OLD)and yesterday tried to install msn messanger. I double clicked the install file and it made a diskdrive icon in white. When I dragged the icon to the trash (msn already installed), the trash bin turned into an eject icon. I emptied the trash (like I would on windows) and the msn icon on the dock vanished. I reinstalled it and this time there was a question mark on the msn logo. So msn now works but I have an icon which I dont need on my desktop. Does this happen with all installs?

Ok this isn't working. Im on the mac so I'll tell you exactly whats going on. I downloaded msn messanger mac version 5.1.1. The download window opens up and it downloads. I close that window. There is still a window open called "Microsoft messanger" with the icon (blue/green people). If I double click that or drag that icon to my dock bar msn opens up.
At this point I have the messanger511.dmg file sitting on my desktop. If I quit msn the icon stays in the dock. If I eject the dmg file or put it to the trash bin, when I goto open up msn from the dock there is a question mark.
This has been my whole point. It seems if I remove that .dmg file the program doesnt work.. am I missing something?
ok update... I read back a few replies about the question mark thing...I had to drag the icon to the application folder as it wasnt in there. At that point I could eject the image file and everything seems ok..however when I start msn from the dock, the white disk drive shows up in finder where the macHD and the network icons are. I can eject it and it goes away but this shows up everytime I start msn..
should I of had to do this?

Rasterize or not?...not sure if this is the right form for this discussion...

Hello, I need help understanding why photoshop requires a layer to be rasterize if I want to use the paint brushes to paint on a photo. When I'm working on the smaller native photo it doesn't require the rasterization...but, when I go into the same snap that I resized larger it requires me to rasterize the layer to paint....? I guess I'm just concerned with quality and the printing process after...should I do all my painting on the smaller photo first? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help working with wtmpx

I am trying to write a program that collects data from the /var/adm/wtmpx file and I would like to use the structures and functions provided by the utmpx.h file in /usr/include. I can read the utmpx file with no problem, however I would like to read the wtmpx file. I think the way to do it is to use the function utmpxname(). However, this appears to be the one function that doesn't seem to work. The compiler complains that there is no function utmpxname(). I am mainly a C++ programmer so this code is a little confusing to me. Where can I find the actual implementation of the utmpxname()? PLEASE HELP!!

This is a Solaris question. You should post it to that discussion.
Items in section 3 of the manual are not part of the compiler. They
would be in libc or some other system lib distributed with
the OS and not maintained under the compiler collection.

Putting Windows back (not sure if this is the right area for this)

I have an Acer Revo that I'm trying to return to Windows status (in order to sell/give away). I backed it up before first boot with FSArchiver and installed Arch (32 and 64 at different points) and Unity Linux on this machine in its time of use. I used gparted to recreate the original partitions and FSArchiver to reconstitute the original files. No errors in returning the files or partitions at all. But when I try to boot it, I'm getting Grub error 17. I'm unsure as to why I'm experiencing this. As far as I know, I did a complete format of all linux partitions. I deleted them all, one by one, then created the ntfs partitions. After that, I dropped the backups into place. Everything should have worked, unless I'm missing something. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

don't have an install CD... pre-installed wiith purchase of the system... which I believe means that the smaller partition is a recovery partition, but grub is the first thing to attempt to do anything. I figure I need a lower level formatting tool (could possibly use arch setup to do the formatting that I need to get rid of grub, wherever it is) but what could I actually use that I can run from a livecd or something (this is a nettop, so I am not in the mood to open it back up again in order to remove the drive and connect it to another system).
On my laptop, I had a recovery partition, but I blew it away when I installed Linux. I believe you can get disks from your computer manufacturer if you ask them.

Installing game....Not sure if this is the right place for this.....

Could not find a better place.
I would like to play World of Warcraft on a free server (already installed and playable) and on Retail. Is there a way I can do that without having to purchase an external HD. On my PC I have to have a different Drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Well, it is a apple question though. It has to do with whether two of the same program can be housed on the same HD on a MAC. On a PC it can't, I am wanting to find out if it can on a MAC since they are different. Thanks for your response.

Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files

Hi,
Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
so my question is two part...
1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
does this make sense, can anyone help me?
thanks

Hi there,
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

Hi everyone

Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite. <br />

I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

I just installed the itunes 10.5.2 on my pc and it wont access the itunes store. the same thing happened when i did the update to 10.5.1. can someone help me out

just installed the new update 10.5.2 and now my itunes wont access the itunes store. can any1 help me out?

I have had this same problem since uprading to 10.5.1. I just checked 10.5.2 and it's still broken.
Are you behind a proxy server that requires authenication? I am and I was fine with 10.5.1 until I had to change my proxy server password.
Previous versions of iTunes used to prompt for new proxy credentials but the 10.5.x versions don't.

Changing date information (not sure if this is the right version)

Hi guys,
I'm not sure which version of iPhoto I'm using. It came by default with my MacBook Pro a year and a half ago, so perhaps someone whose switched on to those things will know which version that is.
The problem is that I recently added a group of pictures to iPhoto that have the wrong date on them. Apparently the camera was set to January 2007. This now means that these photos are in the wrong order in the library. How do I re organise the files so that they appear in the right order (i.e. at the bottom)? I've already tried highlighting all of the pictures, cliking 'batch change', and changing the date, but that only changes that date that they were added, which doesn't seem to change the order. Is there some sort of re organise button I need or something similar? Is there a way to change the date that the pictures were created? This is really only a small thing, but it is annoying all the same. All help is greatly appreciated.

iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto
will tell you which version you have. It's important because the solutions vary according to the version.

AME - not sure if this is the right way to proceed

I'm not sure where to post this or if AME is even the right place to start. However, if you point me in the right direction, I'll take your advice and move right along.
I am one step shy of a novice. Please understand and respond accordingly.
I have been given a task to complete a video for a conference. I am receiving video footage from all over the place and in all kinds of formats. I am using Adobe Premier Master Suite CS4 Windows 7 64 bit. My pc is more than suitable - exceeding all Adobe standards and built by an Adobe recommended vendor. I have no problems with the pc when working with DV tape. I use it all the time creating all types of projects.
The project is SD 720 x 486. The output will be to DVD. NTSC, not PAL.
I have recieved so far....
.mod 1280 x 720
.mod 720 x 480
.mpg 640 x 480
.avi 720 x 576
.avi 1920 x 1080
.avi 720 x 480
I've even received Hi-8 tape!
Most everything else is DV tape and I'm having absolutely no problem capturing, editing, etc etc Everything here works just fine. Audio - great. Video - great. Yes I'm importing the files via firewire. Wish everything else were so simple!
So, is there a reference that I can use to find out how to "convert?" all these things to a standard SD 720 x 486 .avi file that Adobe will love and cherish?
Thanks for reading all of this. Hope someone can help me.

Thanks

Not Sure if this is the right forum but took a chance

I need to know the following information about the 3D tools used in photoshop.
How can it be used? What are the tools used for?
I need an example of how it can be used.
Where can the tool be found specifically,
I am taking a class and this is one tool I haven't a clue what it is or where it is. Please email me at [email protected]
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I am assuming you have Photoshop CS3, CS4, or CS5. If so, the 3D tools are only available in the Extended version of Photoshop.
Here is a link for the Photoshop forums. Select the forum that supports your OS. If you ask on the Photoshop forum, be sure to say which version of Photoshop extended you have as the 3D tools have been updated each year.

I personally would not be a best one to give you the workflow as I have 3D applications that are designed to do this type of thing. I can ,however, pass along a tip that I figured out while working on a contest using a trial of CS5 Extended. (Make a folder and put the 3D object and the texture files in it together. If you don't put the texture files in with the 3D model, the texture doesn't come into Photoshop applied.)
Adobe help document and how to access 3D tools...
If you have CS5, look for a header that says 3D in your menu bar. There you will find the 3D options. 3D tool icons also appear in the tool box.

If you have CS3 or CS4, there isn't a menu item. You have to open a 3D object file. 3D tools only appear if a 3D object layer is selected in the layer's palette.

The hard drive icon has mysteriously disappeared off of my desktop and I have NO CLUE how to get it back! I also added another hard drive and that icon as well, does not show up on the desktop. If I load a cd in the drive, it will show up - but my hard drive(s) won't.

G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Not sure if this is the right place...but is there any aggregate data repository/dictionary out there?

And what I mean is...Is there any aggregate data dictionary out there that tells you how long and what type a data column should be?
For example...Medical Provider Name...what is the normal length for something like this? Provider ID? Tax ID? Address Line 1? City? State?...Etc...
Is like EDI X12 considered the Bible of Data Dictionaries? Yet you have to pay for that don't you? Is there anything else I can reference???
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Provider ID is well defined:
"National Provider Identifier Standard (NPI)
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Administrative Simplification Standard. The NPI is a unique identification number for covered health care providers. Covered health care providers and
all health plans and health care clearinghouses must use the NPIs in the administrative and financial transactions adopted under HIPAA. The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). This means that the numbers do not carry
other information about healthcare providers, such as the state in which they live or their medical specialty. The NPI must be used in lieu of legacy provider identifiers in the HIPAA standards transactions."
