On My Mac folders Synchronizing problems across different MACs

I am getting frustrated dealing with synchronizing "On My Mac" folders across different MACs (I have 3, a laptop, a tower at home and one at office).
Let's just talk about my tower and laptop. When I need to get going, I always sync files so my laptop will have the same info as my tower. Before i sync tower/laptop, on my tower, I would transfer mail from the mail server to my local hard drive in "On My Mac" folders. I would then run a sync program to sync "On My Mac" folders between tower & laptop. Unfortunatly, when new mail files are loaded to the laptop, the mail program DOES NOT SEEM to automatically view the new mail "1234.emlx" file. The solution would be to run the "Rebuild" function. When that happens, sure, all the new mail loaded on my laptop becomes visible. But the repercussion is that Mail reconfigures and renumbers the original "1234.emlx" file to say "9876.emlx" file.
Well, guess what, when I have to sync my laptop with my tower again, the files in the tower now have to erase the "1234.emlx" files and have to load the "9876.emlx" files and the "Rebuild" button has to be engaged again, which would then again create a new file sequence "5432.emlx." Good gracious!!!!
And that's just sync between my tower and laptop. What about my third machine, the one at the office?? It gets confusing, and I end up losing mail. It's absurd.
Engineers at Apple, do the steps I describe above sound Apple-esque?? I hope you find a simple way to synch "On My Mac" folders, and might I hope you would even find a way to sync Pop mail??!! And whats the point of calling it full sync if .mac cannot give me the option of synching "On My Mac" mail??
Thanks

Synchronization of local mail data between computers by means of a file synchronization utility is a really bad idea if more than one computer is allowed to access mail between synchronizations.
The most prominent issue is that Mail keeps a reference to every message within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder in a global Envelope Index file. If this file is modified in more than one computer between synchronizations, there is no way a file synchronization utility can handle the situation properly.
Another, more subtle, and potentially more dangerous issue, is that Mail may use different *.emlx sequence numbers to name the same message in different computers or, worse yet, the same sequence number to name different messages in different computers. Again, the only thing a file synchronization utility can do about it is either overwrite files with the same name (thus potentially losing data) or not synchronize them at all.
Mail data "synchronization" at the filesystem level can only be done reliably if it's a one-way operation, i.e. if the entire contents of the Mail folder in one of the computers are overwritten by the entire contents of the other, and even then it may not work properly because of the issues described here:
Mac Backup Software Harmful
This is not an Apple thing, not even a Mail thing. You would encounter similar issues with any other mail client. The only reliable way to achieve mail synchronization between computers is using an IMAP account and storing mail on the server -- that's precisely what IMAP is for.

I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

Why can't lightroom across different folders like Photoshop Elements can?

I have access to Lightroom through CC and I'd like to use it more, but it cannot do a very basic thing that Photoshop Elements, a consumer-oriented product, has been doing for years. That is, stack across different folders. I keep my large RAW files on an external hard drive but keep the edited .jpg files on my computer's main drive. In the Elements library I stack those photos and any other versions such as .psd files. Very useful and I don't understand why this has never been possible in Lightroom.
An additional wish is that I could import my Elements library into Lightroom, complete with stacking, keywords, etc. That would be fantastic.

This blog will explain how to install Elements as an external editor in lightroom. The main thing to remember it to point Lightroom to the EDITOR and not the Elements Startup screen where you can choose Organizer or Editor. If you don't point to the EDITOR the photo will not show up in Elements

Can anyone recommend a decent, totally free sound equalizer app or program to work across different applications on my Mac?

NeoOffice was a OS X adaptation of OpenOffice because there wasn't a OS X version when the "Mac" came back from the dead basically.
Sun which owned OpenOffice, was bought by Oracle, which all the developers left finding out Oracle wasn't going to support OpenOffice anymore.
The developers of OpenOffice went and formed LibreOffice, which got some serious cash donations and now is the new fork of OpenOffice.
So if you have files in NeoOffice, OpenOffice or Microsoft Office, they will work just fine in LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is getitng all the attention now that's it's truly "free" and many more developers worldwide are looking at the code and contributing to it.
So LibreOffice is what you need. It's also cross platform, Linux, OS X or Windows. AND free. (but you should contribute funds)

How do I fix colour picker to work across different colour-managed monitors?

Hey everyone!
I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having colour-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 7
3 monitors as follows, all have individual colour profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3
Cintiq 12WX
Dell U2410
Dell 2409WFP
Photoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with colour-managed and non-colour-managed documents
I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the colour picker wouldn't pick colours consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Here are some video examples:
This is how the colour picker works on my Dell U2410: http://screencast.com/t/lVevxk5Ihk
This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX: http://screencast.com/t/tdREx4Xyhw9
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on. Anyone know what's going on, and how I might fix it?
Thanks for *any* help!
Semi-related Question regarding Colour Management
Colour management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colours became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colours consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor colour and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached colour profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached colour profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-colour, but I think that's because it's not colour managed... but that's a lesser concern.

I think I've figured out the colour management stuff in the secondary question, but the weird eyedropper issue is still happening. Could just be a quirk from working on things across multiple monitors, but I'm hoping someone might know if this is a bug/artifact.
Going to lay out what I inferred from my experiments regarding colour management in case other noobs like me run into the same frustrations as I did. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - the following are all based on observation.
General Explanation
A major source of my problems stem from my erroneous assumption that all browsers will use sRGB when rendering images. Apparently, most popular browsers today are colour-managed, and will use an image's embedded colour profile if it exists, and the monitor's colour profile if it doesn't. This was all well and good before I calibrated my monitors, because the profile attached to them by default were either sRGB or a monitor default that's close to it. While you can never guarantee consistency on other people's monitors, you can catch most cases by embedding a colour profile - even if it is sRGB. This forces colour-managed browsers to use sRGB to render your image, while non-colour-managed browsers will simply default to sRGB. sRGB seems to be the profile used by Windows Photo Viewer too, so images saved in other wider gamut colour spaces will look relatively drab when viewed in WPV versus a colour-managed browser.
Another key to figuring all this out was understanding how Profile Assignment and Conversion work, and the somewhat-related soft-proofing feature. Under Edit, you are given the option to either assign a colour profile to the image, or convert the image to another colour profile. Converting an image to a colour profile will replace the colour profile and perform colour compensations so that the image will look as physically close to the original as possible. Assigning a profile only replaces the colour profile but performs no compensations. The latter is simulated when soft-proofing (View > Proof Colors or ctrl/cmd-Y). I had followed bad advice and made the mistake of setting up my proofing to Monitor Color because this made images edited in Photoshop look identical when the same image is viewed in the browser, which was rendering my images with the Monitor's colour profile, which in turn stemmed from yet another bad advice I got against embedding profiles . This should formally answer Lundberg's bewilderment over my mention of soft-proofing against Monitor Colour.
Conclusion and Typical Workflow (aka TL;DR)
To begin, these are the settings I use:
Color Settings: I leave it default at North American General Purpose 2, but probably switch from sRGB to AdobeRGB or ProPhoto RGB so I can play in a wider gamut.
Proof Setup: I don't really care about this anymore because I do not soft-proof (ctrl/cmd-Y) in this new workflow.
Let's assume that I have a bunch of photographs I want to post online. RAWs usually come down in the AdobeRGB colour space - a nice, wide gamut that I'll keep while editing. Once I've made my edits, I save the source PSD to prep for export for web.
To export to web, I first Convert to the sRGB profile by going to Edit > Convert to Profile. I select sRGB as the destination space, and change the Intent to either Perceptual or Relative Colorimetric, depending on what looks best to me. This will convert the image to the sRGB colour space while trying to keep the colours as close to the original as possible, although some shift may occur to compensate for the narrower gamut. Next, go to Save for Web. The settings you'll use:
Embed Color Profile CHECKED
Convert to sRGB UNCHECKED (really doesn't matter since you're already in the sRGB colour space)
and Preview set to Internet Standard RGB (this is of no consequence - but it will give a preview of what the image will look like in the sRGB space)
That's it! While there might be a slight shift in colour when you converted from AdobeRGB to sRGB, everything from then on should stay consistent from Photoshop to the browser
Edit: Of course, if you'd like people to view your photos in glorious wide gamut in their colour-managed browsers, you can skip the conversion to sRGB and keep them in AdobeRGB. When Saving for Web, simply remember to Embed the Color Profile, DO NOT convert to sRGB, and set Preview to "Use Document Profile" to see what the image would look like when drawn with the embedded color profile

Synchronized problem in JSP/Servlet, please help me.

Hi, all
I have many processes in one JSP page or Servlet program of my project.
When many people visit at one time, then the project throws some SQL/DB Errors.
I have updated it and test it many times, I think, that is a synchronized problem.
At last I used ��synchronized (this){my JSP/Servlt SQL/DB processes}�� to synchronize
The process. Then the errors removed.
And now I think that too danger to use the ��synchronized (this){}�� to synchronized.
If use it then some other problem may be growling on. Such as when one people need to use
This service others must to wait, the process may be too slow! And when an exception throws
from the SQL/DB or some other place, what I do? Need any advice from you.
Sincerely
Urey
*** my JSP/Servlt Server is tomcat ***

As Chuck points out, there isn't a new instance of the Servlet/JSP for each request - they are probably all calling the same instance so any state will be shared. If your Connection is stored as a member variable then you'll have problems with it already being in use if two people hit the page at the same time.
Limited resources such as database connections should ideally be pooled anyway to ensure that you're not opening them all the time and that you can control how many are open across the entire application. Then you'd simply need to get a fresh connection out of the pool at the top of the page and make sure you put it back when you're done.
Incidentally, although it might work, synchronizing the database access in the JSP would be a bad idea since you'd just create a queue of requests waiting to use the one Connection whereas you really need a number of Connections to deal with everyone simultaneously.
If you need some example code for a simple JSP using a database connection pool (DataSource) just say.
Hope this helps.

How to maintain same width of columns across different table sections in OBIEE reprot

I have a prompt and report (analysis) on the dashboard. In the report, there are tables sections.
The problem is when I run the report, the column widths vary across different section of table. This report also showing totals too.
The report needs to be fit so there is no horizontal scroll bar in the report.
I have already given the same width in additional properties of column values, header and folder and in total's property in criteria and also in the result tab.
I am new to OBIEE, so don't know how to fix it. any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

LWAPP to CAPWAP across different software versions. ?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could clarify what happens when you have controllers live on two different software versions..
We have 4 controllers.. 2 on version 4.2, which APs currently register to with LWAPP and 2 new ones on version 7..
On WCS, I have moved an AP currrently registered on a version 4.2 controller and reassigned it to the newer controller ( ver 7 ).
The AP then reboots and I can see in the event logs that it comes back up on LWAPP after resolving the entry CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.
On WCS, the AP shows as registered back on the old Controller ( ver 4.2 ) but the Primary and Secondary Controllers are still pointing to newer ones ( ver7 )..
According to the Cisco document, the transfer from LWAPP to CAPWAP should be seemless, so is this a problem migrating across different software versions. ? Will the AP sort itself out eventually.
If I console into the AP and statically assign the new controller IP address, this forces the AP to download the newer software version ( after multiple auto reboots ) and it comes up on CAPWAP.. This shows that the path between the AP and controller is ok..
Ideally, Im hoping that I can simply reassign our current APs to the new controller ( and onto CAPWAP ) rather than having to console into all our remote APs and statically reconfigure them.. Not fun !!.
Any advice would be appreciated..
Thanks.
Jon.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the reply..
Yes I agree that, once on version 7 it will perform a lookup for " cisco-capwap-controller ".. I forgot to say in my original post that I had already check this and it does resolve correctly to the two newer controller IPs.. If I console into the AP and manually define the newer controller IP address, it all goes through sucessfully and I can see the discovery and correct registration process in the logs
So we know that it kind of works but Im hoping that there is a simplier solution from within WCS where I can do all this remotely, rather than consoling into every AP locally.
Your suggestion of inputting the new controller IPs in WCS instead of the names sounds good however, it needs to be on version 7 first to be able to do this ? As you say, there is a field for this in version 4.2.... Looks like there is a bit of chicken and egg going on here !!.
Any other ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Jon.

How to manage ApplicationDomain for loaded SWFs across different domains?

I've been getting this following error -- when I'm loading a subsidiary SWF into a main one. The sub swf contains the overlays. OverlayOne is a subclass of Overlay.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert OverlayOne@18684f89 to Overlay.
     at HSRawVideoPlayer/setCurrentOverLay()
     at HSRawVideoPlayer/showOverlay()
     at HSRawVideoPlayer/dotRoll()
I googled and found that I should probably be setting the applicationDomain of the loader context of the loaded swf to be that of the loading SWF (as per Senocular's article on the subject) -- although I thought that in cases of conflict this would resolve to the loading SWFs ApplicationDomain, so not necessary.
But I've also read that this won't work across different domains, and that's the situation here -- the client wants the urls of loading and loaded swf's to be fully qualified . Will setting the ApplicationDomain of the loaded SWF to be that of the parent solve the problem above, even if they are in different domains? Can someone show me a short code snippet? Thanks!

Hi,
DSS has inbuilt functionalities to compare the transactions against the in built rules.If the transactions take place not in accordance with the in-built rules,it is treated as a "violation" and is reporetd.
Virsa is an example of DSS tool.Here you can build rules for access and process ;constantly compare the actuals Vs the rules;report the violations.
In SAP R3 for example,the T/code:pfcg is tailored for access control,while the invoice parking [f-63] is tailored for process control.Using VIRSA,you can address to risks involved both,namely,access and process control.This is an example of how DSS can help in Risk integration.
In these tools,we have an Engine for building the rules-based on this we build the rules.These rules are stored in a table.when a transaction-for which we have built a rule - takes place,the system compares the rules VS actuals.The inconsistencies if any are reported as violations.
Hope this helps.

Material for a single project spread across different locations

Dear Friends
my client is executinig trun key projects. One single project may be spread across different geographical locations. Say Project name is "PRJ001".
PRJ001 will be executed in Bombay, Hyderabad, Chennai.
There are 2 scenarios for procuring materail:
1. Since my these places are quite far away, I might procure material from a venodr near to these locations.
2. I might give PO to one single vendor to dispatch material to these different locations for project execution.
In the both the cases, how to handle material?
What will be best option? Should I create a storage location (my client stores material @ site as these projects run for years)?
I'm procurial material as Project Stock (Q).
Say Bomaby location needs 500 no. of material, Hyderabad location needs 700 no. of material, Chennai location needs 300 no. of material.
Now how do I ensure that the right material with right quantity is reaching respective project site?
In some cases, project runs in remote location. Where there won't be any connectivity/ access to system. In such cases, if the site engineer enters GR/ IR & activity confirmation in excel sheet & later on sends an e-mail with this excel sheet to the office. How can we upload it to the system so that it updates the required fields in the system?
Please give your suggestions.
I appreciate your support/suggestion .
Thanks

Hi Amaresh,
I think your Option no. 01 holds good for your requirement. You can define the corresponding Project sites in Chennai, Mumbai and other places as Storage locations. Better define Seperate storage locations for different site locations.
I think having a delivery schedule with the specific requirement quantities and the storage location should resolve your issue of handling different quantities for the same material. This you can discuss & sort it out with your MM consultant.
Hope this gives some idea.

Is it possible to cluster appliances across different subnets?

We are attempting to cluster two appliances across different subnets in order to provide greater survivability. Although we were able to cluster the appliances, the manageability of the appliances has become somewhat impaired. We've opened ports 443, 22 and 2222 between the two appliances. The appliances are C350s running AsyncOS 7.1.3-010. Are we missing something?
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
Are these appliances communicating using IP addresses? If yes, in order to a join cluster,using IP addresses there must be a reverse DNS (PTR) record configured in DNS server for the Cisco IronPort appliance.Please check that if the the reverse lookup works. If not, it might be another issue.

Retrofit in SAP Solution Manager 7.1 Supported Across Different OS's?

Is Solution Manager 7.1 Retrofit Capability supported with a different enhancement pack level and across different Operating Systems (HP-UX & AIX)?
The specific scenario would be setup of a dual landscape where traditional Dev -> QAS-> PRD is on HP UX 11.31. Then we would create a parallel 'Upgrade Project" landscape on IBM AIX 7.1 uDEV -> uQA (on AIX), perform an enhancement pack upgrade on uDeV and uQA and use Solution Manager Retrofit Capability to synchronize transports between the two landscapes.
Thanks in Advance!

Performing searches across different Human Tasks

On our project we have been using Custom Views within BPM Workspace to perform searches on running and closed workflow instances.
We have found that we first have to choose what Human Task we want to build the custom search on (e.g.. "Vacation request Manager´s review") and then build the view.
However, we do not know how to perform searches across different tasks (e.g.: list all vacation requests either "under Manager´s review" or "pending HR acceptance") and get the results in a single page.
How can we do this?

Can BPM maintain flow across different applications

Hello,
I have a requirement where I have to maintain the business flow across different applications(Siebel CRM, Oracle Financials and third party applications) with out the end user knowing.
Is it possible with BPM to navigate users from one application to another application (CRM Application-> Third party Application -> Financials)? If there is a solution availabe with BPM or a different application please provide the same doc. Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Jay

Hi,
Yes. Oracle BPM can maintain a flow across multiple applications without the end user knowing. It is something it was built to do.
First, applications like the ones you mentioned have an API (typically web service today but older applications exposed their API as Java POJOs, EJBs, COM, etc.). For Oracle BPM to access the applications, you need to expose the API in Oracle BPM's catalog. Customers that have a service bus expose the application APIs in the service bus and then Oracle BPM catalogs the service bus proxy services. Customers that do not have a service bus can expose the application APIs directly in Oracle BPM's catalog. Either way will work.
Second, you'd design a process with a series of Interactive (human activities) and Automatic (activities that invoke the components that in turn invoke the APIs for your applications without human intervention). You'd add something called instance variables that carry the information throughout the life the process for each work item instance. Interactive activities are placed into roles with a name associated with them (e.g. CSR or Manager) so the work done in each activity is done by the right type of person. Interactive activities can be set up where the work item instance goes to a specific person instead of everyone in the role where the activity is located (e.g. send the instance to the CSR that talked to the customer last time).
Third, at runtime as each work item instance is created (e.g. "Order 227") in the process the work item instance flows to one of the process's Interactive or Automatic activities. If it flows into an Interactive (human) activity, the end user assigned to the role where the activity is located clicks on an item in their web based Oracle BPM WorkSpace's inbox for the specific work item instance that they are interested in working on (again - perhaps "Order 227"). Once clicked by the end user, a UI presentation (either built using Oracle BPM's WYSIWYG presentation editor or a JSP) shows the work that needs to be done specifically by that end user. The UI presentation is already populated with the information gathered from a database or a previous API call from an Automatic activity. All this is done without end users having to cut out of one application and then paste into another application's screen - the right contextual information is sent to the right person at the right time. Once the end user finishes their manual task, the work might flow to an Automatic task that invokes another applicaiton's API automatically from the logic and variable information gathered in earlier activities in the process.
All this is done without the end users knowing that they are flowing through multiple applications to get their work done.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Config port channel across different type of media

Please help with the question if we could config port channel across different media type such as Gigabit and Ethernet 10/100 ports ? thanks in advance.

Hello,
no, that is not possible.
When assigning interfaces to a specific port channel, the interfaces must be all Fast
