Pre-setting up xgrid system Qs

I am very interested in setting up an xgrid system to improve or give a slightly added boost to my powerbook when working on FCP projects. I have several questions concerning xgrid before I start to purchase the nessisary hardware and software.
1) Is there anyway to run a xgrid client on windows xp machines?
2) I have a Powerbook (which will be the main one), iMac G5, mac mini, and a P4 2.6 Hyper-threading windows computer. What would be the recommended setup? The mac mini as a rerouter and the other two computers as slaves or whatever they are called
3) Is it worth setting an xgrid system up? I have a wireless G network which I know is slow compared to gigabit ethernet but would i noticed any performance boosts to my powerbook using xgrid? Or are my computers to slow or is the network to slow?
Thank you,
TM

1) I haven't seen any windows xgrid clients.
2) The server needs to be connected to the network all the time, so that discards the powerbook. The server doesn't need to be the fastest machine, but if it is going to be used for calculations it is a good idea. So, I'd use your iMac as the server.
3) It is worth it if you have needs/software to go with it. The speed of the network is not much of an issue, the successful Xgrids in the world (Stanford, etc) are running across the internet so... The key point to understand is that a grid is a VERY loose version of a cluster. In a cluster you would use the fastest network available because the computations in the nodes are tightly connected, that is each node needs to know what is happening in other nodes pretty often. A grid works best when the nodes calculate stuff on their own, returning calculations everyonce in a while (at least seconds). That leaves time for the passing of files across the net, the server accomodating many nodes, etc.
Also important, if you use regular software you are NOT gonna see any improvement in your powerbook. You need Xgrid enabled software, and I am not aware of a lot of that so you'd have to develop it.

Unable to install downloaded Lightroom pre-sets

A beginner in relation to Lightroom and unfortunately not very technically savvy.
Thus I need your input please. Just downloaded the slit-tone group of pre-sets from Inside Lightroom Website. The instructions on installation seem simple - however, I am unable to install.
1. instructions are to
Switch to the Develop Module, right-click on one of the Presets and select the Show in Finder/Explorer option. This opens the correct folder. Place the unzipped files in this folder click in one of the Presets and select - the Show in finder/Explorer option.
This opens the correct folder - then it goes on to say: Place the unzipped files in this folder.
When in Develop Module my presets folder is greyed out ie is not able to acesss the folder. Is this the reason why "The Show in finder/Explorer option does not come up to place the pre-set files in.
What I have I done wrong?
I have Lightroom 1.2 and a Mac 10.4.10
I appreciate your assistance

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What do you mean by "clean install"? As you see that term confuses the issue with the link below:

Getting Aperture pre-sets from mac book to desk top

I just recently got a mac desk top and I just installed Aperture form the App Store. My mac book has several pre-sets that I have either purhcased or created. How do I get those presets to transfer from Aperture on my mac book to Aperture on my desk top???

You presets are either installed in the system library folder "/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins"
for example, the onOne presets are installed in
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit/onOne Presets.AdjustmentPresets
and presets I created myself will be in the corresponding folder in my user library
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/AdjustmentPresets.plist
Copy the files from these folders tothe corresponding folders on your new mac.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture

Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

Possible to pre-set formatting info for a set of pages in a "chapter"?

Is there a way to pre-set all of the page width, length, padding, etc for one certain “chapter” that I am creating? Also, with this new iWeb version, is it possible to pre-set all the fonts and font sizes for certain parts of the text, like Title, Body, Picture Caption, etc?

Here's a possibility:
Use iWebSites to make separate domain files for each of your sites. (More on how later). Create a new domain/site and create as with all of the pages of the theme you play to use most and manually set their sizes, and fonts, etc. to what you want . Then save the sites a "Default". In iWebSites you can easily duplicate that site file, rename it, open and use it. This would work if you plan to use the same theme. Now for the process to split a current multisite domain file into multiple domain files:
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
It may be more that you want to go thru but it's a thought.

When viewing a pdf document how do I change the default or pre-set magnification?

Anytime I am directed to a pdf document by a website it opens the pdf file at 173% magnification. It tells you to open the menu to change the pre-set magnification, but I don't see a menu to open.

Maybe you did not include enough information in your question or your question was not specific enough since your reply indicates that you have already asked the question and have received an unsatisfactory answer. Please attach a screen shot demonstrating the magnification. Also include written information about where you are seeing the 173% or other magnification value that you are seeing on the image that you attach.

How do I make a printing pre set in Photoshop CS4?

I use Photoshop CS4 and print on an Epson R360. I often print high resolution images, usually jpeg, onto quality Epson paper with certain settings to get the best result. However I am aware that I can set a "pre set" to achieve this without having to make the print spec choices each time but don't know how to do it. I have checked the Adobe website but cannot find any relevant info that I can understand. Can anyone give me a simple guide how to do this please?

In the PRINT dialog box, [see Pic-1], make all the changes that you want,
then [see Pic-2]
SAVES US, name your preset. When you print again, then you just select that PRESET, and all your print specs for the PRESET should all be there. I hope this helps.

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
Come on apple pull your finger out!

How to set up trusted system or ip in NW CE 7.1

Hi all,
I am running on NW CE 7.1, and I want to know if NW allows setting up trusted system or ip. If so, is there any documentation about it?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
what do you mean by "trusted system"?
For instance, you can use the CE as a producer in your EP 7.0 consumer portal with SSO. You exchange server certificates and so create a trust between these 2 servers. This is also be possible between CE and ABAP (CE is consuming an ABAP service).
To do so, it's the standard process: export the certificate of CE and import it into the target system

Is it possible to pre-set firefox window size?

under windows, one can add a short java script to the line that opens firefox to pre-set window size.

Once you set the size of the window in Firefox it should open that size. No need for scripts. Issues with Firefox should be directed to that vendor.

When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set when the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?

When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set after the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?.
I'm not aware of anything I might have done, but it's annoying to want to use an icon on the 1st page, only to see all the icons on page 1 shift rapidly to the left
and I can't find a way to shift back to page 1.
Is there a way of getting all my Launchpad icons onto 1 page by adjusting their size?

Thanks for that. I think the 2 little white dots were hidden by the white frame round the desktop picture on my screen
As you can see from the pic, there is a broad white frame around the image.
