Pricing, Directory and what's missing...

A rather open ended thread I fear but it might spawn others...
Pricing; I'm not sure what the situation in America but here in the UK it appears that Apple is squeezing us (well, ok, ME) out.
Leopard Client 98 pounds, Leopard Server cheapest option (10 user licence) 250 pounds
Snow Leopard Client 25 pounds, Snow Leopard cheapest option (unlimited) 400 pounds
I run Leopard Server on a small network of about 6 users and want to use it primarily as a web server for internet groups - hence 10 user licence is ideal. The unlimited version is overkill for me and very expensive on my budget.
Does anyone else have an opinion?
Directory: I spent most of the life cycle of wiki 1 arguing that a web based directory listing of users and their contact details, editable by users via HTML was vital for my needs. Apple clearly thought it was useful in principle because a directory.xsl file sat, unused in the theme folder.
With wiki 2 I argued during seeding that the directory service in the wiki was a "deal breaker" for me but was reassured to see that the directory.xsl file was still there (updated from wiki 1) and held my breath. Here we are at v433 and release date and it's still not implemented. I fear the deal is broken!
It seems to me that Apple have positioned Snow Leopard as a network server (designed for a network of Macs) rather than a web server (designed for the internet). I have no real complaints about that, they have the focus groups and market surveys which tell them what will sell but it's really disappointing to me that I don't fit their business model.
If anyone can correct my understanding that only mac users can view and update the address book server it might moderate my chagrin.
And finally, on a more positive note,
are there any other things that people feel are missing from wiki 2 so that we can start feeding that back to Apple so that wiki 3 REALLY provides everything a person could want?
My own personal favourite being a Forum to go with wiki and Blog - it really wouldn't be that hard for someone to write would it? It would just need stiching into the services provided by the wiki. (On which note. see the post that I am about to post regarding 3rd party plug-ins (probably on the web section))

Nothing is missing.

  • Time Machine always switches to my home directory. What to do?

    D'oh,  need to restore a file, which happens to be in a root folder of my iMac's HD.   No prob, Time Machine is on duty!
    The usual procedure:  In Finder, bring the containing folder to the front, select the file, go to the clock icon at he upper right, pull down, and choose "Enter Time Machine".  TM takes over the display with the distinctive Star-Field background and offers to restore in that folder. 
    Up until today that that's worked in every version of MacOS that includes Time Machine.
    Today:  No matter what I do --including after a system restart-- Time Machine switches the front-most window to display my home directory, first, THEN goes into Star-Field mode.  
    Note 1: Yeah, I can work-around by navigating to my HD and then to the specific file I need to restore.
    Note 2:  This problem occurs even when the file I need to restore is in the hierarchy of my home directory.
    So:  Why does TM now insist on switching to my home directory and what to do about it?   Without endangering my existing files or TM backups?
    TIA

    I'd plug in and run a Time Machine backup about once a day, on average. I've been scouring the logs, and the only thing I notice is the "deep traversal" message, which I'd expect occasionally as it needs to reindex files (especially after a restore).
    This also happens if the TM disk isn't dismounted, etc., exactly the way TM expects; or if there's an abnormal power-down. It means TM isn't sure about just exactly what is where, so it looks at every file and folder to be sure.
    I've run long S.M.A.R.T. scans on the drive (via smartctl on a Linux LiveCD and SeaTools via a Windows installation), I've run Repair Disk (via Disk Utility) and I've defragmented the filesystem (iDefrag). All the diagnostics come back healthy, and iDefrag had little to do. My gut tells me the drive is failing, but I can't actually prove it. My next step is to reformat the drive and create a new filesystem; I'll see if Time Machine is happy with a clean start.
    I'm a MobileMe subscriber, so I downloaded and set up the old .Mac Backup.app, and will be running that daily to shove my important files up to my iDisk (and probably to various other locations), in case backupd decides to choke again, at least I have a backup to my backup.
    Good plan. I run CCC daily, in addition to TM's hourly backups, and use Backup to iDisk daily for fairly small stuff, plus others to DVD/RWs kept in my safe deposit box. May seem like overkill, but I've learned, usually the hard way, that when it comes to backups, paranoia is prudent!

  • When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
    Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

  • "Failed to open midi support library". What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? What to do?

    I own a new Macbook pro 15" quadcore with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    When trying to start software Reason 7 I only get the message "Failed to open midi support library".
    What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? Reinstalling Mountain Lion did not solve anything.
    What may I do? Is there separate MIDI-drivers or else that Macbook needs to be running audio at all?
    My audiocard Apogee Duet 2 is´nt working well either and I cannot even open the MIDI-window in Mac,
    so that road is blocked. I´ve seen more ppl having problem but found no explaination.
    Some say to remove midi-drivers but that folder is empty (or hidden?) when opening.
    Also, Garage Band cannot open. It´s no problem with graphic apps, only with audio/midi.
    My 2011 Macbook pro13" with OS X Lion runs like a charm. So how can this be? It really puzzles my mind.
    Have thoughts on having OS X Lion on the new Mac as well but will not do it until I know where the real problem is.
    Hope there is an easy fix to it. Thanks in advance.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • What is Exchange Virtual directory and its role?

    Hello there,
    I am new to Exchange and I started reading about Exchange Virtual directories. I am struggling to understand the concept behind Virtual directories in Exchange and what is the role of this component. Can someone please shed some light and better yet supplemental
    information to help me understand the concepts behind it? Let me know please. I am looking forward to any reply that would help.
    Regards,
    Lotusmail1
    Franz Garcia

    Hi,
    Thank you for your question.
    Exchange virtual directory is a directory which store some necessary URL to point to correspondent web page, those URL can provide service for user by Exchange server. it include the following component:
    On Exchange CAS server:
    Autodiscover: An important function of the Autodiscover service is to provide access to features for clients that are connected to your messaging environment. These features include the web-based offline address book (OAB), the Availability service, and
    Unified Messaging (UM). The Autodiscover service must be deployed and configured correctly for clients to automatically connect to features.
    ECP: The Exchange Control Panel is a Web application that runs on a Client Access Server providing services for the Exchange organization. This Exchange Control Panel is installed automatically when you install a Client Access server. To manage Exchange
    from just about anywhere, you simply need to enter the URL path for the application in your browser’s Address field. You can then access the Exchange Control Panel. By default, the Exchange Control Panel URL is
    https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/ecp.
    EWS: Exchange Web Services virtual directories support the calendar sharing and other functionality offered by Exchange Web Services. The Exchange Web services included in Exchange provide an XML messaging interface that enables you to manage Exchange store
    items and access Exchange server functionality from client applications.
    Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync: Exchange ActiveSync is a client protocol that lets you synchronize a mobile device with your Exchange mailbox.
    OAB: An offline address book (OAB) is a copy of an address list collection that’s been downloaded so a Microsoft Outlook user can access the address book while disconnected from the server. Microsoft Exchange generates the new OAB files and then compresses
    the files and places them on a local share. You can decide which address lists are made available to users who work offline, and you can also configure the method by which the address books are distributed.
    OWA: By default, when you install Microsoft Exchange 2013, you enable Outlook Web App. Microsoft Outlook Web App lets users access their Exchange mailbox from almost any Web browser.The Client Access server role provides proxy and redirection services for
    Outlook Web App.
    PowerShell: The Exchange Management Shell, built on Windows PowerShell technology, provides a powerful command-line interface for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 that enables automation of administrative tasks. With the Shell, you can manage every aspect
    of Exchange. You can enable new email accounts, create Send and Receive connectors, configure database properties, manage distribution groups, and more. The Shell can perform every task that can be performed by the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) plus
    things that can't be done in the EAC. In fact, when you do something in the EAC, it's the Shell that's doing the work behind the scenes
    On Exchange mailbox server:
    PowerShell: this is the same with front CAS server.
    We could refer to the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg247612(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and i keep getting 'erreo writing to file : C\ : Config.Ms\301ded48.rfb.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

    I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and keep getting message at the end ' error writing to file :c:\Config.Msi\301ded48.rbf.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
    I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
    After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
    Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
    Good luck

  • My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

    My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

    Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

    I agree that VLC is also a good choice but MPlayerX is more user friendly.

  • Missing com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework directory and classes

    Hello,
    I installed crystal report server 2008 and Iu2019m missing the directory and classes in "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework" on the webreporting.jar package. Does anyone know why? Or does anyone know where I can get the complete webreporting.jar package. I extracted all the files from the webreporting.jar file this is why I know this. Thanks

    If you don't first refer to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK Developer Guide available on this page:
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary]
    for the required jar files, then you're essentially flying blind into a hurricane with fuel gauge on empty.

    Time machine only copies User Info and Users (Applications, Library, and System are missing) from my quad core Mac Pro.  45 Gb of 162 Gb are missing.  Any one having success with time machine copying all folders using Mavericks?
    What do I need to do differently?

    The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.
    See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5125969
    I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

  • What is pricing scale and where do we maintain pricing scale?

    Dear Gurus,
    what is pricing scale and where do we maintain pricing scale?
    Thanks..

    Hi Bidhu,
    Scales are used in pricing when there is different price at different quantity. Scaled prices are maintained like:
    From   1 pc - 100.00 EUR
    from  50 pc -  90.00 EUR
    from 100 pc -  80.00 EUR
    Now for qty 1 to 49, price would be taken as 100 EUR. where as for 50 to 99, it would be 90 EUR. Similarily price for any qty above 99 (mean >=100) price would be 80 EUR.
    You can use scales in any document where pricing can be maintained. SD and MM behave same as scales if functionlity of SD and MM also used that.
    If price date determination is done as the time of GR, GR qty will be used to determine the price scale. But if price date category is document, document qty (like PO qty) would be used to determine the correct price scale.
    Hope this helps you.

  • What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

    What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.  I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message.  Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes?  I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

    1: Follow this support doc to completly remove iTunes (your files remain)
