New dynamic charts and downloads available
We have made available two download versions, one for CS5 and one for CS5.5. This was necessary because of the different instructions that were required for each version of PR. See the Benchmark Instructions page for further details. Secondly, the Test Results page now has active dynamic Top-20 and MPE Gains Charts, that will automatically show the test results, based on the latest database information. You can be assured that these charts will always reflect the current database contents, as they are updated automatically without any action from your side. Also the readability of the charts has been improved significantly.

I've read that Promise Pegasus2 series does not sell replacement parts. I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage that may break and cannot be fixed. What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro?

I've read that Promise Pegasus2 R6 thunderbolt 2 series does not sell replacement parts (no replacement parts for any of the Pegasus line). I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage (12tb version) that may break and cannot be fixed (am told that one must purchase a new unit if a part breaks). What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro? Thanks so much for your help.
Discussion about this issue at MacWorld.com: http://www.macworld.com/article/2082783/first-look-promises-pegasus2-r6-thunderb olt-2-raid-array.html

I've used the original Pegasus R6 units for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them. On the two occasions I've had to call on their technical sujpport, I've found them readily available, knowledgeable, and very helpful. In one case it involved the reset of a unit after a power failure at an inopportune time; in the other case it was a question about upgrading disk drives to higher capacities (1 Gb gto 4 Gb). I was pleased to learn that their tech support people were in California and as good if not better than upper-tier AppleCare reps. The hardware itself has functioned flawlessly so far.

New Issue that may be Spotlight related

Hello all.
In the past week I have been having a long delay whenever I do anything that may be spotlight related.
Here are a few examples...
If I try to upload an image, or any file, on any site, I can navigate to the image or file, but once I select the file, I get the fruity beach ball and it takes a few minutes before I can click the Choose button.
If I search my Address Book contacts for anything, I have the same delay.
If I attempt to attach a file to an email, same delay.
If I download a file, same delay.
If I search mail or anything in Spotlight, same delay.
I had a similar problem in the past, and it turned out to be a LaCie External Drive gone bad. This time, I turned off all external drives and I am still having the issue.
I recently upgraded to Suitcase Fusion and thought that may be the issue. I quit the application, still have the issue.
Anyone have a solution?
Thank you
for your time.

Open ActivityMonitor and look to see what is taking up the CPU.
If it's Spotlight related, you'll usually see a jump in mds or mdimport activity.
I think there were some issues with fonts choking Spotlight way back when.. So that may be an avenue worth looking into.

I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless.

The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless. iOS installed today November 3 and dialog box came up say device no longer supported.
It's an Apple SD card reader (purchased the same week in Syracuse,NY) and it worked fine yesterday after part one of a Day of the Dead shoot in central Mexico.
As a professional journalist I traveled with the iPad and a Nikon D80 and lenses and flash. My MacBook would be addded weight so this application (the iPad) fits the bill.
I was in Paris for a month in October and shot thousands of photos. Often did not have wireless and used the iPad as a photo safe to store the photos.
Back in the Paris apartment the Photostream worked great.
So what gives Apple...I upgrade my Ipad 1 for an Ipad 3 and now it's useless in this application and the new iOS. Was there any warning or information that this would happen? Or did you test the iOs on the iPad 4? Afterall the iPad 3 is, what 5 months old?
But, and a big BUT Apple, I can buy an iPad 4 and use the thunderbolt SD card reader. Is this how you become a world class company???
Our next Apple purchase is not going to be that...was going to be an Ipad mini for my wife to use on the road in her job. She travels giving anesthesia.
We are an Apple family....My first Apple was an Apple II and had a Newtown (that still works).
And we now have an iPhone, 2 MacBookPros, 2 Apple TVs.
My other computer is an old PC that works with my professional weather station and also interfaces with my ham radio. While I dislike the stability of Windows the system allows me to tinker and work with other devices.
How can Apple not recognize that folks do want to do thing the way they have been and also abandon DVD/CD drives from computers yet at the same time Apple will sell you its own DVD/CD drive.
I have always loved my early AppleII but had to abandon it for writing and editing (early photo editing and design was still a dream then) because most companies "did not support Apple," I was told by corporate IT people. So a love hate period of using PCs.
Now Apple does not support users but it will sell us the latest gadget. This is stupid marketing and wrong consumption by America.
I don't want to trust the Cloud for everything and want the ability to edit and stroe photos with ease and not always reply on wi-fi.
Maybe I should shell out $69 for tech support.

Hey wmhwilson,
first of all you are not addressing apple in these forums. We are all just users like you trying to help eachother out. I can almost guarantee they didn't pull the support for the card reader from ipad 3. As i have a nikon camera and d5000 and a card reader running on ipad 3 and i just did a import from the sd card after I read your comments. It could be a bug within your ipad. Try restarting the ipad, if you have everything back up to icloud do a full reset then restore from icloud.
Second, going off on a tangent about apple and their business practices, in support forums which are user based, really wont get you much help. We come here to help people like you and there are way to many folks who go out venting and we all heard it before and kinda getting bit tired off it.
Third, before doing proper diagnostics, rebooting, restoring ipad, using different SD card, try using usb connector directy to the camera, don't assume that apple pulled the plug on it. It could be a bug that slipped through testing however I highly doubt it since its working for me.
So try rebooting, restoring ipad from icloud (if you have back up), try inserting a different SD card. Since you are photographer you must have more then one. Try using the other connector that comes with camera kit.

Mountain Lion keeps stopping and recalculating download at 53.25MB - I have tried several times now with resumes and restarts, no joy (have new iMac May 2012). Any ideas, please?
Thanks, bb2804

In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
Would that work out for you?

This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly...

Hello Guys
I bought this menu made by f-source into my page:
http://beta.asphalt-driveway-sealing.com/, it's working fine except I got this message each time I am opening my file with dreamweaver CS4: 'this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again' and what I did but still got this message
the developer told me that: "I previous versions of Dreamweaver you could disable the Active
Content Converter http://f-source.com/before_insert/
In CS4 there is no such option."
Please let me know what can I do then.
Many Thanks, T&T

Hi
CS4 uses a 'nested' type of object code to insert swf/flv files, which is more compliant than previous code. Obviously the f-source extension is not cs4 compliant if it is changing this, (the message indicates it is doing so) and is something you should pursue via there support department. However even though it is giving you this message it should still work on live pages.

Info. that may help you or answer a few questions

Hello fellow iPod-ers!
Recently I, like many of you, updated to iTunes v.7 and iPod s-ware v.1.2. Here a few things that I have noticed that may or may not answer some questions.
With the new update on my iPod: (30GB 5gen.)
I now have gapless playback, which is the best thing to happen to MP3's since the iPod, IMHO.
I have brightness control, which I used once to lower the brightness, handy, but not a deal breaker for me.
I have "Quick Scroll" don't know if that's the official title, but a letter will show up in the middle of the screen when you are scrolling thru a long list. This has come in handy. I don't have the alphabetical search, where you can use the wheel to select letters, but I don't think I would use it anyway.
I have volume limiter, I believe this was included with s-ware update v.1.1 that was released early 2006.
I am able to import games off of iTunes, which I now play Tetris until I kill the battery
I am not sure about the improved battery life that is supposed to be a result of the s-ware, just because I haven't done a test to determine that. I just push play while I'm at work, and I've never run out of battery yet.
I haven't run into any problems thus far using my iPod with the new s-ware, thankfully. I'm not sure why so many people have.
Hope this helps if anyone was curious as to what to expect with the new updates.

Which model do you currently own? If I were going to purchase a 'new' machine, I would visit the Apple refurbished store and purchase a 15" 2012 NON-RETINA model. It's user upgradable , has USB 3.0 ports (a big plus for me) and is fairly recent. I don't know what I'll do when my machine eventually dies - I've already purchased a Windows notebook to replace it - but I don't see myself giving up on Macs entirely.
The only NEW non-Retina machine that Apple sells is the 13" model - if you can live with a 13" screen, you might want to look it over. Otherwise, I would shop for a refurb mid-2012 15" machine.
Good luck,
Clinton

New charge may see broadband users charged to even...

New charge may see broadband users charged to even look for a fault regardless of if it is found to be in your home or on BT's wires.
Check below.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/4136-new-charge-may-see-broadband-users-charged-to-even-look-for-...

Just a note about the sockets - openreach ( the engineers ) are only responsible for looking after the external network and any fault on the external network is there responsibilities. Any wiring inside is the responsibility of the householder and therefore are liable for charges if any work is carried out in the home. The first point of call should always be your service provider to get them to run a line test for any problems on the line. If there faults department can't find a fault it is most likely inside that there is a problem and a local electrician is always cheaper than an openreach engineer.
hope this helps

Restrict filetypes that may be uploaded

I am referring to the Secure Configuration Guide for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12. I have a question on the recommendation **restrict filetypes that may be uploaded**. I am not really a functional user of E-Business Suite, more looking at this from a risk analysis perspective.
A couple of questions if I may:
Can I ask if any of you in your E-Business Suite installations restrict filetypes that may be uploaded? if so which?
What is the risk in not restricting which files which can be uploaded? What can happen? Is the risk major?
And also, specific to financials modules of EBS, what kind of files do users need to "upload"? Can you provide some examples?
Can you cause more harm than good by restricting certain filetypes allowed for upload?
And also where exactly can you check what restrictions in terms of file type and size are currently set? And how to navigate in EBS to see what is set?

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

I bought an iPad on ebay that may be stolen

I bought an ipad on ebay that may be stolen. IT IS A HUDE DILEMMA. I have already talked to a police officer where I live but he will not file a police report.
I will explain the situation as best as I can. I bout an ipad on ebay and it said Steve's computer and had an Apple ID of a nother perosn. I contacted that person, in an attempt to find out of he is the rightfulowner of the ipad. He said it was stolen and he is the owner. I emailed him several times and found out her never made a police report of the "stolen" ipad. I talked to Paypal and ebay in an attempt to get my mpney returned. In order to get my money returned, I need the police report. I asked the "steve" the so called owner of the iPad to make a police report. He screamed at me on the phone and said he would in no way make a police report.I asked him why not. Then he canget his computer back. I hung up on him because he was calling me names.
All the time the seller was ignoring my emails. (Of course, a thief's bahavior.)
I opned a case on ebay. Then it turns out the seller has been talking to ebay representatives many times. They(ebay) emailed me many times and asked me to "work it out" with the seller. Ha! ha!
Of course I am very angry because I have an ipad that cannot be used because it is regsitered to someone else. I cannot get my money back and, as you will learn in the next section, I cannot report it as stolen.
I called the police and pone cam eot my house. He asked me how I got it. I explain that I bought it on ebay. Then I told him I have been emailing with who I think the owner is, Steve from somewhere in California. The officer said I should ask "Steve" to make the stolen computer report. I cannot make the stolen computer report in Hawaii, the police officer said, because the crime was committed in California.
Now a day later I get back on ebay and the seller is communicatinbg with me suddenly. (I guess she has had a chnace to make up a plausable story.)
She said that she sold the computer to someone on ebay.(Steve) He didn't like it and returned it to her but did not erase his ownership or apple registratiion details. She (seller on ebay) said that he is mad that she made him pay the return shipping so he is getting back at her by saying it is a stolen computer.In addition, I pleaded with this "Steve" to erase his ownership details so I can use the computer which I actually purachsed. However he refuses to erase his ownership or registration of the computer.
This is my probelm: I want my F______ money back but the seller won't give me my money back. And ebay said for me to "work it out with the seller"
Very funny! I am the only one who is loosing. I paid $350.00 for an iPad that I cannto even use. It may be stolen and it may not be stolen and a stupid police officer in Honolulu will not even report it.
What can I do?
I have the iPad. I have the serial number. Is ther a way of finind anything out about this computer with the serial number? (I would like to know if it is stolen. I would like to know who really owns it. I would like to get mymoney back and forget this crap ever happened.
Kim 1958 just another old person with a computer

You have a valid claim with eBay against the person who sold it to you. It was sold to you as a usable iPad. The person knew it had a persons ID on it , hence it was sold under false pretenses. Keep all your correspondence with all parties. File the claim within 60 days with eBay and Paypal. Step one is always work it out with the owner, you tried, now file the claim. If they are a legitimate business you'll get your money back, they can't afford the negative feedback. Remember the person knowingly sold you a iPad you could could never register. Misrepresenting a product is probably the number one no-no with eBay. Good luck.
