Preparing OVD for use with OAM

Hi,
I am trying to configure OVD for use with OAM. I am trying to present two directories, one from AD and the other from Sun LDAP, with OVD.
In case of AD, I am using the "OAM/AD Adapter with Mapper" template, and it does appear to be massaging Active Directory into a more inetOrgPerson schema... however the relative distinguished name (rdn) of the objects are still cn=username.
This is in conflict with the users that are coming in from Sun, who have an rdn of uid=username. I'm concerned that this is going to create difficulties for OAM, and it just feels wrong (especially since we are migrating many of these users to AD at which point their DNs will change).
My questions are:
1. Is there a best practice for what the RDN should be for OAM? It seems like the product has historically used uid as the RDN, and so that feels safest.
2. Should I, and if so, how can I get OVD to translate the RDNs? Why don't the templates do this automatically?
- Jim

OAM is not concerned with the RDN of a user in AD or Sun. It can be anything.
So in OVD you can have dn like uid=usrid,dc=example,dc=com for Sun and cn=commonname,dc=example,dc=com for AD.
Only thing to take care is you have configured OVD with the same objectclass for AD and Sun.
For example "OAM/AD Adapter with Mapper" maps AD's user object class into inteorgperson and same goes for Sun. So in OAM you have to configure user objectclass as "inetorgperson"
OAM searches are based on the login id, so in this case it will always be uid="user login" which OVD will translate into samaccountname for AD and uid for Sun.
There is no restriction in OAM on what the RDN should be for a user entry.

Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for use with Contribute

Recently I designed a small Dreamweaver Website (DW CS2) for
a friend and it is already successfully online. So that my friend
can manage her own website, I`ve decided to prepare this DW site
for use with Contribute, but I'm unsure about the steps involved
and what files I will need to store on the server. Is the following
roughly correct?
Step 1: Define editable regions in these html files and save
these as html files.
Step 2: Enable Contribute Compatibility in DW before I upload
to the server.
Step 3: Is setting up a Connection Key necessary for my
friend`s access?
Step 4: Upload these. Do these completely overwrite the
existing Dreamweaver html files on the server? Or should I be
saving in another file format?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me!

I sugggest these steps:
A: Dreamweaver:
1. build you site based on (a) template(s) with editable
regions
2. upload the website to the server
B: Contribute
1. create a connection
2. administer the website ( and create an admin password )
3. set the proper settings for your users (administrators,
publishers, writers), enable rollbacks
4. create a connection key fot you user with the proper role
and save that to disk
C: Dreamweaver
1. manage the site in dreamweaver
2. enable contribute compatibility (this way files get
checked in and out, so you know who is editing what)
D:
1. Sent the connection key to your user

Hey guys,
I found out an answer by myself...
The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc. But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:

If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID

I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Can i buy an iPhone at a pawn shop and get it unlocked for use with Straight Talk wireless?

Just wondering if I can buy a used iphone at a pawn shop or on ebay and get it unlocked for use with the prepaid Straight Talk wireless service? If so, how much would it cost to get it unlocked?

PHones can only be unlocked from the carrier; if you're looking for an unlocked device I'd recommand buying it directly from Apple as that is the only way to promise it is, if you buy it second hand you may find it is locked to a carrier who doesn't support unlocking, or worst yet activation lock

Best drum loops for use with Logic? Ease of use, usability, etc.

Hi,
I have BFD2 but find it slow to load and sometimes clumsy auditioning loops within Logic. I love the Apple Loops library but I wondered if people are importing MIDI drum files for use with Logic. Do all drum files use the same MIDI mapping? If I drop a BFD2 loop into a Logic drum virtual instrument will it work? I bought a few packs from Groove Monkee but have yet to use them with Logic. I only use them within BFD2.
I'm basically looking for a seamless way to stay within Logic to improve my workflow. It's taken me days sometimes to get a drum track right by going back and forth with BFD2. Is there a concept I'm missing that would make it easier?
Thanks

Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in. Unplugged, works short time and crashes. Sometimes won't even re-boot. Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card. I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT. Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall. Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes. Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all. One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book. I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery. I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go. Any suggestions? Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards. I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

Dear Friends,
I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
I'm still left wondering:
What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
David

I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)
