Optimal Drive and Application Setup

Good day all. First off I apologize if this is the wrong section for posting this. This question is not for any one specific app but more for the best setup across the entire suite.
I have been a member of the Adobe Suites for quite a few years but never had the chance to really setup my drives and configure my applications optimally. I do think that I have decent hardware in place now and wanted to reach out for best application setups (caching and such).
I am currently using all CC 2014 version applications (PS/ID/AI/AU/LR/PR/AE/Bridge). Based on my drives and GPU can I adjust any of the setting in these apps to take advantage of my system?
My drives are configured as such (I followed an older post regarding number of drive and what their roles would be (I believe submitted by Harm) as a model):
1 500GB SSD - primary OS/Apps
1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Lightroom Catalog
1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Previews + Exports
1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Pagefiles + Caching
2 1TB WD Velociraptor (Raid 0) - Media Files + Projects
My GPUs are:
Quadro 4000 + Tesla C2075 (Maximus configuration)
Quadro K2000 (needed to add a 3rd monitor)
Rest of system:
Dual Xeon E5-2670 (2.60 GHz)
64 GB Total Ram
I know know that the 4000 + C2075 weren't a good choice (but this was done almost 3 years ago...and Im sure I will regret the WD Velocirators in time but at the moment this is what I am working with.
Thank you again for reading and for any advise.

You're correct, this is not the place for this kind of question. This forum is for setup, licensing, updating issues primarily with suite products. Normal users rarely come here.
What I would do is ask in a forum for either application you use the most, or, even better, the application which most requires the resources of your computer. That would probably be the video apps. There you will find other users who are in your situation. Good luck.

SSRS 2012 ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

I have a SSRS installation, I have deployed my connections to, but they fail with title message. The drivers and ODBC on the box are setup and work fine with 32 bit ODBC conn manager.
When I run or configure my connections on the site, via the browser, I get errors connecting.
I tried to find which app pool http://server/ReportServer application used, but I am not finding that, so my first ?
How do I find in IIS what app pool SSRS application is using?
I have 2008 server, running SQL 2012 V.S. 2010 and I think I need to enable my app pool to use 32 bit, but cannot figure out which one it uses? I see default set to 32 bit = true, which I thought would be it.
Can I set my SSRS project to use x86, platform? Like I did with SSIS?
If so, how? SSRS and SQL 2012 somewhat new for me. Thanks

Hi DCady,
To manage a data source that connects to a 32-bit driver under 64-bit platform, we use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. To manage a data source that connects to a 64-bit driver, we use C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe.
Generally, if we use the 64-bit odbcad32.exe (C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe) to configure or remove a DSN that connects to a 32-bit driver, for example, Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb), we will receive the following error message:
The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
To resolve this error, we need to use the 32-bit odbcad32.exe (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbacad32.exe) to configure or remove the DSN.
Besides, please make sure there are no DSN using the same name in both 64-bit and 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator.

Cannot Access the Service Partition after installing Lenovo Driver and Application Installation

I recently upgraded my Lenovo 3000 H210, M/T 5355-2NU from Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) to Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with the media received through the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Fulfillment Program.
I installed the 64-bit version of the Common Components Installation v1.0.0.8 and restarted the computer and then installed the 64-bit version of the Lenovo Driver and Application Installation program, v5.1.0.0900. After
restarting the computer, I receive a message box stating "Cannot access the Service Partition". If I click on
Lenovo Driver and Application Installation on the Start Menu, I receive an error that the installation has not
completed. Restart to complete the installation. If I restart the computer, I am back to the first error.
Any idea how to resolve this situation?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same problem. It's driving me nuts. I also downloaded and attempted to reinstall the factory software from Lenovo's site. It installs but will not launch, giving me the following error message: "This software is for intallation on a Lenovo computer." Or words to that effect.
Hopefully someone knows the answer. Tried tech support twice. Ugh... Thanks in advance.

Architecture mismatch between ODBC driver and application

Hi,
I have Windows 2008 server R2 OS which is 64 bit OS. I have created an SQL Server ODBC connections for my CMC database. I am trying to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 SP3 but I am getting this "architecture mismatch between ODBC driver and application" error while choosing the ODBC datasource for CMS.
I thought CRS 2008 version would easly be installed on Windows 2008 server as it mentioned on the installation guide.
How do I resolve this issue?

Moved to BOE Admin forum.
CRS 2008 is a 32 bit app so all attachments, Printers, DB clients, etc. must all be 32 bit or support 32 bit applications.
Use the 32 ODBC administrator in \windows\syswow64 folder.
Thank you

Different system drive and applications drive

I recently added a Raptor Drive and wanted to use it as a system drive and then use my 160GB drive that came with the computer as an application drive.
Well after moving my stuff over to the Raptor Drive and tried to open Final Cut is said something to the effect that this was not the correct device or hardware. I think that is a feature of copy protection so you can't just copy Final Cut...you have to install it.
So here is my question...will I have to reinstall Final Cut and all my other programs from scratch if I continue with this process? It is already on the 160GB drive in the same machine. Seems like a huge inconvenience. Is there another way??
Thanks in advance
FatherTime
DP 2.0 G5 1GB RAM, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my existing system drive onto the Raptor. That way, I didn't have to reinstall a single thing or have to reset any application preferences.
I had to pare down the size of my existing drive (which was a 500 GB model) so that I could clone to the Raptor. I got it down to about 70GB by moving items to another external drive and then did the clone.
So, my setup has the OS, Applications, and (most of) my user folder on the Raptor. I moved DVD Studio Pro's templates, GarageBand's and Soundtrack Pro's audio library, and LiveType's various items to the 500 GB drive. I also moved my iTunes library and my iPhoto library to the 500 GB drive. All of this allowed me to keep sufficient free space on the Raptor.
If you don't want to clone your hard drive to the Raptor, you could try dragging Final Cut Pro over. However, you'd also need to drag over the items in /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support as well as the items in ~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data. And, there's still no guarantee that it'll work properly.
If you need to move other (non-Apple) applications to your other drive, you'll probably be OK in doing that. It's really only the Apple applications that need to remain in the /Applications folder.

New system drive and memory setup - please help!

Please excuse these newbie questions. I DO understand that these issues have been discussed ad nauseam in this forum. But I have spent probably ten or twelve hours exploring the various threads, and partly owing to my ignorance, partly to the specifics of my situation, partly to the disagreements between various posters, and partly to my concern that some of the clearer statements on e.g. SSD’s may have been outdated by the progression of technology, I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some recommendations for my specific situation.
I am going to purchase an HP Z820 sometime in the near future. I do NOT want to build my own machine; I have just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous, as they say, and want one-stop shopping for technical support if my machine develops problems.
While I will use this machine for a variety of applications, my main concern is to optimize it for Premiere Pro. Based on Harm Millaard’s (who to my untutored eye seems to be one of the most prolific, knowledgeable, and helpful individuals in this forum) “Guidelines for Disc Usage” of two years ago, I plan to install a 300GB SSD for my boot drive, and to construct a RAID 5 array out of the remaining drives. (The Z820 does not support RAID 3.) The array drives will be either five (5) more 300GB SSD’s, or four (4) 600GB 15,000 RPM SAS HDD’s.
Assume for the sake of argument that cost is not a factor, and that the 1.2TB storage offered by the 5 SSD drives in RAID 5 (vs. the 1.8TB offered by the 4 SAS drives) is perfectly adequate, which would you choose? And why?
I should add that I am a video hobbyist, not a professional, so the outfit will receive a lot less pounding than a professional’s machine. Thus, I don’t THINK that the theoretically more limited life span of the SSD’s should be an issue, over, say, the next 3-4 years. (Correct me if that SHOULD be a concern.)
Re memory, I am planning on 32GB of unbuffered memory, the maximum the system will support. I COULD get 64MB, but it would have to be registered RAM, which I understand slows things down. The slight improvement in reliability with registered RAM is not really a concern from my hobbyist standpoint; and I think 32GB should be adequate. I use 1080/60p footage, which of course is demanding, but don’t use a lot of special effects, or other Adobe applications for input to Premiere (aside from Photoshop, occasionally). Anyone disagree with this choice?
Finally, is there a role for a RAMdisk in this outfit, for e.g. cache files? Would this increase the speed, or decrease the using up of write cycles on the SSD’s to a degree that would be significant for practical purposes? If so, how much RAM would you dedicate to the RAMdisk?
Again, sorry if you feel these questions have been adequately addressed in pervious threads, but try as I might I simply can’t manage to put it together on my own. And thanks in advance for any help.

Pardon me for jumping in. (I realize the question is to Harm.)
I am going to purchase an HP Z820 sometime in the near future.
Congrats, this is a great system.
... I plan to install a 300GB SSD for my boot drive, and to construct a RAID 5 array out of the remaining drives.
The 300GB SSD - is that an HP model? If so please reconsider: it's an older Intel SSD X25-M series that is slow, and runs at SATA 3G speeds (not 6G), which doesn't do the Z820 justice. Intel 520 series has been tested (by yours truly among others) and can be used in the Z820.
The array drives will be either five (5) more 300GB SSD’s, or four (4) 600GB 15,000 RPM SAS HDD’s.
As Harm will probably tell you: unless you also run a database server on that system, there is no advantage to 10K, 15Krpm or even SSD drives for video purposes, with the exception of possible reliability (enterprise class 10-15K drives and SSDs are tested much more extensively than desktop and nearline drives) and throughput in case of SSDs if, for instance, your workflow demands extreme bandwidth (e.g. recording of uncompressed 4K 12-bit RGB signal).
Assume for the sake of argument that cost is not a factor, and that the 1.2TB storage offered by the 5 SSD drives in RAID 5 (vs. the 1.8TB offered by the 4 SAS drives) is perfectly adequate, which would you choose? And why?
Hypothetically, I'd choose SSDs: higher reliability, responsiveness, performance, lower power consumption. I'd do research though to ensure they'd keep up with a lot of write I/Os thrown at them.
In reality, I'd choose neither, for reasons I mentioned above. 7200rpm nearline drives have sufficient performance for the purpose, and the capacity is much higher per dollar.
I COULD get 64MB, but it would have to be registered RAM, which I understand slows things down.
Not necessarily. The 2% difference between ECC and non-ECC memory (negligible as it is) is not at play here because Z820 does not support non-ECC memory. Registered or not, it has to be ECC, and registered memory is not necessarily slower than unbuffered. Even if it was, the 2% difference is unlikely to make any perceptable dent in performance given that no editing system runs its memory at 100% bandwidth at all times. Then again, if cost is not a factor, you could always swap unbuffered for registered later on.
Finally, is there a role for a RAMdisk in this outfit, for e.g. cache files? Would this increase the speed, or decrease the using up of write cycles on the SSD’s to a degree that would be significant for practical purposes? If so, how much RAM would you dedicate to the RAMdisk?
For timelines with limited number of effects, I wouldn't bother, with the premise that Premiere Pro has decent memory management on its own, and that memory will serve better if just given to Premiere Pro.
If on the other hand you do start using AE heavily, you might want to dedicate a (portion of your) SSD to "global performance cache" which is a fantastic time-saving feature of AE CS6.
HTH.

External hard drives and application help

i am relatively new to the world of computers and what i can do .i'm getting an external hard drive not only to back up my mac but to allow me to add new virtual synths for my music creations ,as i am running out of space on my internal hard drive i want to download applications to the external hard drive .if i do this will i be able to run the application on my mac through my sequencer or would i have to get a new internal hard drive with more storage.for example i'd like to upload omnisphere to the external drive and use the vst through my mac .will this work ? thank you in advance to anyone that can help

Ditto to what Andy said.
You might be better off getting two external HDDs; one as a dedicated data drive for your Home folder and the other as a backup for your entire system. Do not put your data and the backup on the same drive. Putting the Home folder on its own drive will free a lot of space on the int HDD for apps.
Here is how to move the Home folder with all of your data to an ext HDD and have Mac OS X recognize it;
Here is a more detailed version of moving the home folder that I created in the past for this situation;
1. Go to Macintosh HD/Users/shortname/. Shortname is your Home folder and will have a "house" icon. Copy this folder to the ext HDD by drag & drop. When dragging & dropping from one drive to another the originals are not moved, merely copied to the new location. At this point the folder will not have the "house" icon, because it is not yet recognized by Mac OS X as the active Home folder.
2. Go to System Preferences/Accounts. Click the padlock in the lower left and enter your password to unlock the Accounts pane. Control click on your account's name in the left-side column to reveal an Advanced Options in the contextual menu. Click Advanced Options.
3. You will only be concerned with the Home Directory option. This is the path that Mac OS X uses to locate your home folder when you login. It will show the path as /Users/shortname.
Click the Choose button and browse to the Home folder that you copied to the ext HDD in Step 1. After you select the new home folder the Home Directory path should change to something similar to /Volumes/shortname.
4. Click OK on the Advance Options dropdown sheet to accept the change. Quit System Preferences. Restart the computer and login as normal.
5. To confirm that the copied home folder on the ext HDD is now the active Home folder, using a Finder window browse to the folder on the ext HDD and confirm that it now sports the house icon.
6. You have successfully moved your Home folder to the ext HDD, then the original Home folder in Machintosh HD/Users/shortname/, including all of its contents can be safely deleted.

KM4M-V + SATA Drive, Hangs at Boot, Tried IDE Drive and During Setup, Powers Off

I bought 2 KM4M-V boards to upgrade my ailing 1880+ systems. Then realized I needed DDR as well so went back for that and also decided to update CPU's to Sempron 2600+. Also picked up Seagate 80Gb SATA and a 350 watt PSU (Alaska ATX 350 P4) which was recommened for this board by the dealer.
I am having so much trouble I am about to throw in the towel. Since I am 'upgrading' everything in the system except the CDRom drive I should have just started all over with 64-bit systems but now I am kind of stuck since it is over 30 days ago I got the MB's.
Problem 1:
Using only the single SATA drive I never could get past the DMI Pool data line in Setup, it would just hang there. I read all about how to deal with SATA drives with this or similar boards here. SATA is enabled in BIOS but I can never get to the F6 load drivers step to try that. If I remove the SATA cable Setup will procede so it is something with the Seagate possibly? No jumpers needed and no preparation done to the drive. BIOS does not see the drive but the setup RAID utility does see it but says I cannot set up single drive as RAID of course, but it does report proper data about the drive. Never can get past Bios POST with SATA drive hooked up (channel 0 or 1)
Finally gave up on that and ran into Problem 2:
Put an older IDE drive in as only HD and XP Windows setup gets cranking along coping files then the system just dies. Like some pulled the plug suddenly. Happen every time. I checked for heat problems. Even ran through memory tests (SIMMTESTER), tried swapping cables, plugs and wall circuits. It dies every time no matter what.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 24-November-05, 05:57:01
DMI pool data? When changing mobo but keeping hard disk one should do a repair install of Windows and install the mobo drivers for the new mobo.
I originally wanted to keep the Windows install but decided to remove original C drive and save for eventual D drive use. A repair install warns you that your 'My Documents' folder 'may' be deleted and I didn't want to risk it as I have years and years of photos I didn't want to risk losing.
Quote
Addit: Seems something isn't right in the IDE configuration, or what Windows think is the config.
Bios is happy with WD drive as single master on one channel and CDRom as single master on the other (No jumper on Drive- osnavi). Windows install starts out just fine with my intention of creating a new partition but then it just BOOM, power off. My preference is to use the new SATA Baracuda as system drive and my old IDE C drive as D drive...

External Hard Drive and Audio Recording Application

Hi, hope everyone is doing well today. I'm new to this forum but I have been occasionally browsing it from time to time and find it very useful. So I figured I would post a couple questions that I have.
First of all I would like to tell you all excatly what I want to do with my computer. Currently I am trying to optimize my computer for the Audio Recording Application I have *Cubase SX 3* I recently just upgraded my RAM from 512 KB to 1.5 GB. My next purchased is most definitaly going to be an external hard drive, which leads me to my first question.
1. If someone could recomend me an external hard drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be firewire also.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting from their external hard drives which has nothing but there OS and there audio recording application. That way when they boot it up they don't have processes running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you going about doing this and what would I need?
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5 computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing the performance of the computer in order to get the most out of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time everyone.

1. If someone could recomend me an external hard
drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording
and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the
drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be
firewire also.
Hard drives are pretty much the same. 7200 rpm are obviously a bit faster than 5400rpm. Why Firewire? USB 2 is about the same speed as standard Firewire 400, but the drives are cheaper.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting
from their external hard drives which has nothing but
there OS and there audio recording application. That
way when they boot it up they don't have processes
running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some
processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you
going about doing this and what would I need?
OS processes are going to be running in the background regardless of which disk the OS is on, that's what an OS does! If you don't want more processes simply make sure you don't have any other apps open. I don't know Cubase, but a G5 will handle video editing along with background tasks no problem, and video editing generally involves far more data manipulation than just sound, even if you're doing multiple tracks.
You can easily install the OS on an external hard drive using your original system install disk. Simply connect the drive and choose that as the destination in the installer. To boot from that you would choose it in System preferences/Startup Disk. You could minimise that system by deleting other applications from that drive's Applications folder, turning off internet connections, disabling all widgets etc, but as long as you only have Cubase open it shouldn't make too much difference.
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me
and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5
computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing
the performance of the computer in order to get the
most out of it.
There's not really much else to optimise. Modern Macs are not like computers of old, and OS X is a very modern system, not requiring the type of disk optimisation etc that there used to be.

Integrating an NI-USB 8451 driver and Labview Run-Time Files in an installation package of a .vi application

Hello,
I've built a .vi which uses the NI-USB 8451 device (please see http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/202368), and I would like to create an installation package to be used on a costumer's PC, which has no Labview installed on or a driver for this device.
I would like to have this installation as a completely stand-alone setup, so that the user could take this file and run it, and have the driver to the 8451, the run-time files for the Labview application installed by themselves, and have the .exe file working on a completely "clean" PC.
How can I integrate it all in one package ?
Thanks,
Michael.

Nice hearing from you again, Ipshita
I do not call any dll's currently, but am using the driver of the USB device, NI-USB 845x, version 1.0.1
Now, I would very like to make the use of my application, by another user, with no Labview or this driver on his PC, as simple as possible.
I just thought that maybe I could create an .EXE file with some Labview created dll's, which this executable would use, and spare the need of the 845x Driver or Labview Run-Time library prior installation. I could be wrong.
What should I do ?
P.S.
Meanwhile, I've been playing with the Application Builder and tried to create an installation with the Driver and the Labview Run-Time.
It had started the compile, but stopped with the following pop-up window: "Locate the 'NI-845x Software 1.0.1' distribution. Labview needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution..."
(Attaching the pop-up window below)
What is it looking for and where can I find it ?
Thanks,
Michael.

Booting from a USB Flash Drive and Optimizing Performance

I know that you can boot Leopard from a USB flash drive, and I have a 16GB flash drive I'm using as a bootup disk on this 2006 MacBook I have that has a broken hard drive (it was recalled, but the recall ended in 2010).
The problem is that it's very slow. I have about 8GB of free space on it, so it can't be the VRAM being too small. The USB speed just stinks. There must be ways to optimize the OS to run off of a slow drive by accessing data as infrequently as possible. What can I do to speed this up? Should I disable hard disk sleeping? Should I use some kind of Mac tuneup/optimization tool's feature?
I plan to get an internal hard drive for it, but I'm stuck with this for a while.

Not all USB2 Flash drives are equal, in fact I bought 2 16 GB USB drives for cheap, as along side of them were even the same brand 16 GB Flash Drives just a different model, for 5 times as much!
Me was thinking how bad could they be? Well, they could be 5 times worse than other USB2 flash drives... LOL on me!
They under extremely rare occasions will Read or Write at 5 MB/s, & very often 1 MB/s...
My Buffalo Flash drives do near USB2's top speed, see some diffs...

Optimizing yours will give little benefit.
You could also do a USB2 RAID0 setup if you have enough ports.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

I am running out of memory on my hard drive and need to delete files. How can I see all the files/applications on my hard drive so I can see what is taking up a lot of room?

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.
