  • I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

    I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

  • Easy Way to allow Mac Users to Access Windows Shares

    I have a client that runs a mix of macs and pcs.
    They have a seperate domain for macs running on an xserve with 10.2.8 server and a domain of windows 2000 servers for the pcs
    My question is, is there an easy way to allow the mac users to be authenticated to shares that are available on the windows 2000 network without having to be prompted with a different login? ie access the shares with there current mac login username and password?

    Hi
    If your mac clients can 'see' the windows domain then simply add a single generic user account on the Windows Server. Most people create a single account called macuser with the same password.
    Mac clients should now be able to command+K from the Go Menu and key in smb://windowserver'sIPaddress. They should be prompted for the user name and password.
    If you want to use the same account details as available on the Mac Server then you could export users from the local Node and import them into the Windows Server. Passwords are not retained using this method but if you don't have a lot of mac users you can simply re-key their passwords or use a password common to all and use a password policy forcing users to change them at next log-in. You could consider using something like Passenger which does retain passwords. Depending on which Windows Server it is I'm not sure how successful it would be reading imported account from such an old server version?
    Again if you don't have a lot of mac users simply key them all in.

  • Easy way to connect to dev vs prod design center?

    Hi all,
    I have a dev design center and a prod design center. Is there an easy way to set up 2 different shortcuts for easier logging in? That is, I would like a shortcut to connect to prod and a seperate shortcut to connect to dev. Is this possible?
    I tried searching the forums for suggestions, but didn't find anything.
    Thanks,
    Sammi

    You will have only one OWB design centre client on your PC, to define whether it is prod,dev or UAT you have locations configured.
    The enviroment is controlled from locations and not through different instances, it is something very similar to oracle sqplus or toad
    you wont have different instances of sqlplus ot toad for dev and prod, everything is controlled from tnsnames and locations is similar to tnsnames. hope this is clear.

  • TS1363 is there an easier way to connect my ipods and phones so that my devices are recognised in my itunes?as i am not ver good with pcs..thanks

    i am having trouble with my laptop/itunes finding my devices?i am unable to transfer anything from my itunes to devices as i dont really no what i am doing?is there an easier way to sort this so that my devices can be found and recognised?thankyou

    Rather than creating your report directly from a SQL statement use the "Sql Query (PL/SQL Function Body returning Sql Query)" option and re-write your code in PL/SQL. PL/SQL gives you greater control and allows you to test the "null" values and add where clauses to your SQL query based on whether or not a value was selected in the SELECT list.
    For example, I have a report parameter screen that has a state drop down list that returns a value of -1 if no state is selected. I can, therefore, code:
    IF :P6_STATE_CODE != -1 THEN
    query := query + " WHERE state_code = ' ||
    :P6_STATE_CODE ;
    END IF ;
    I have a more complete example if you would like to send me an email ([email protected])

  • SCCM 2012 R2: easy way to disable/enable MULTIPLE maintenance windows at once?

    I have been racking my brain on this one for a while.
    Scenario: you have an ADR set up that is deploying updates once a month. You have multiple collections set up that each have their own special maintenance window (example: 1st weekend - sat - 8-9pm)
    Then, one week you are asked to not deploy updates for the upcoming weekend. Well, the ADR already ran and the machines for "1st weekend" are just waiting for the maintenance window to open. Now, at this point you can obviously go into EACH collection
    associated with "1st weekend" and disable the maintenance window. But if you are asked to do this often and/or you have multiple collections with maintenance windows this could be a hassle.
    Is there a way to easily enable and disable multiple maintenance windows at a time?
    GUI: I have not found a way to select multiple collections and disable all MWs
    PowerShell-module: set-CMMaintenanceWindow doesn't appear to have ability to modify "IsEnabled" property of MWs
    PowerShell-WMI: Can't find in WMI where to modify "Isenabled" Property
    Please see my other thread
    regarding PowerShell
    What other creative options are there? Disable a service via PowerShell on members of "1st Weekend" collections? Which service? Should I be looking in SQL? Where? Other options in GUI?
    I may end up getting stuck doing this manually but I want to make sure I am not overlooking something first... it's such a simple task - just seems like there should be an easy way to accomplish this.
    (And please, for the sake of my question, lets not get into the semantics of whether or not the ADR technically DEPLOYS the updates or not.)

    I didn't even think about that.... so having one MW that is disabled or having no MW at all would allow the client to install at will? I guess I was thinking that if it had a MW but it was disabled it just wouldn't update.
    The MWs on the collections are all different.
    Perhaps I need to re-assess my approach...
    The original plan was to have one ADR (patch tuesday) update 1 SUG (which is deployed to all machines) each month. Machines would then install based off MWs.
    Now I'm thinking it might be best to have 2 ADRS:
    ADR1- updates existing SUG which is already deployed to Dev/Test machines.
    ADR2- creates new SUG - which I then manually deploy to Prod collections. 
    This would automate the deployment to Non-Prod machines but it would give me the power to withhold updates to Prod machines for the month if needed.

  • Any easy way to set *.jars classpath in windows

    Is any easy way to set the classpath for serveral jars in windows?
    for example, if I have 1000 jars in a folder "C:/MyJar", is this the only way to set the classpath with:
    CLASSPATH=C:/MyJar/Jar0001.jar; C:/MyJar/Jar0002.jar; C:/MyJar/Jar0003.jar; .........; C:/MyJar/Jar1000.jar
    ?

    Is any easy way to set the classpath for serveral jars
    in windows?
    for example, if I have 1000 jars in a folder
    "C:/MyJar", is this the only way to set the classpath
    with:
    CLASSPATH=C:/MyJar/Jar0001.jar; C:/MyJar/Jar0002.jar;
    C:/MyJar/Jar0003.jar; .........; C:/MyJar/Jar1000.jar
    ?You shouldn't have a system CLASSPATH environment variable.
    You don't add every JAR for every project to a system CLASSPATH. You should be doing it on a project-by-project basis, preferrably with a script or an Ant build.xml.
    Doing it with a system environment variable makes your apps less portable, because now you depend on the target machine being set up in a particular way. You should figure out how to package your apps appropriately so clients don't have to worry about that setup issue.

  • Need a way to find out users who have not all logged in into the portal

    Hi all,
    Please can some body tell me the way to find out all the users who have not at all logged in into the SAP enterprise portal after their user ID's are created.
    Are there any methods(UME APIs) or attributes that set the status of user whether he/she has logged in into the portal first time.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hajira Rehman

    There used to be a way, but here's what Detlev posted earlier this year:
    <b>Hi everyone,
    UPDATE on this: From SP16 on, the last successful login date does not get logged into the database anymore, see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/bc6b9202454dece10000000a422035/frameset.htm">here</a> - for performance reasons, as it is stated...
    Hope it helps not to fall into this new trap
    Detlev</b>
    So, there are no simple APIs - you'll need to build your own mechanism.

  • HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

    Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
    Apple - we need you to solve!

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
    If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:
    http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer
    It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

  • Need a way to connect adb device to USB iMAC in OS9.

    I have a software applicatoin that only runs on OS9. I have an iMAC333 running OSX 10.3 and OS9. The software requires a special tracball that is ADB. I need to be able to find an adapter that comes with OS9 drivers (extensions and/or sprockets). Any suggestions besides buying an ADB Mac?

    Hi, theracket -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Probably the most common adapter used for that is the Griffin iMate adapter -
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imate/
    The only downside I'm aware of with the iMate is that it will sometimes cause the CD tray to open at startup (on those machines which have a tray). Using a self-powered USB hub between the iMate and the Mac will often prevent that.

  • Is there any way to connect an iDevice (like iPad/iPod/iPhone) as a screen? If so, how can I obtain the software/accessory needed?

    I'll admit it: I'm just curious. I'm trying to completely increase the portability of this beautiful invention, and this seemed like the best option. If there isn't an accessory/app like that, then dagnabit! Someone should make one!

  • Does iPhone have a quick easy way to switch sounds settings like Blackberry?

    One thing I love about Blackberry is that you can designate a whole bunch of different configurations for your sound/alert settings, and you can very easily switch from one to another right on the homescreen.  I find this very necessary since I like to have most sounds on much of the time, but want to easily switch to only vibration or only LED alerts or even no alert when I am in certain quiet places or at work.
    Another very important use of this feature for me is that when I go to bed I can easily switch to a setting where all alerts are turned off, but the alarm will still function and wake me up in the morning.
    Does iPhone have any features that can make it work in a similar way to this?  Especially turning off alerts while keeping the alarm functioning?  It seems all smartphones should have an easy and quickly accessable way of switching between sound/alert configurations.

    Well that's just one of the least helpful
    So, simply stating "no" would have been more "helpful"?  Maybe you're one of those who only want to see the answers that you want, rather than the truth.
    The iPhone is what it is, and has its own set of features, of which you appear to have no clue.  At least i linked you the User Guide so you could  educate  yourself.  Did you really think iPhones have a secret BB emulation mode?

  • REQ: best way to connect to SMB for windows?

    Hello
    I have a question for connecting windows clients to an Apple Server Maverricks over SMB
    In the past I made the connection with a netlogin. I refuse to do plaintext login in future
    this was the netlogin.bat
    CALL WAIT 10
    net use * /del /y
    net use X: "\\10.0.0.X\SharePoint\Folder" /user:test xyz
    We have no AD Server running. The windows clients are not member of the domain. To map a sharepoint with "restore connection" doesn't work because the local windows clients doesn't accept the ID & PW
    Is their any tool which can help me to map sharepoints
    Regards

    It's sort of an "it depends", and mostly depends on your stereo and it's available inputs and it's quality, and of course what is most practical from the standpoint of the location of your stereo and your iMac. Going from the optical digital output of the iMac to an optical digital input on your stereo will usually give you the cleanest connection, but unless you're capturing all of your CDs in a lossless format and have a very good stereo, an optical connection would probably be overkill. Wireless through an Airport Express usually works quite well, but there can be interference and dropouts on occasion, depending on your surroundings, so the results can be variable.
    Sorry, but I can't give an absolute answer; just too many variables and unknowns.

  • What do I need to do to connect to a remote windows server?

    I was able to connect my G4 10.2 to the work server and have all the details (IP address, domain name and my own login and password.) Since buying this G5 I am unable to connect. I have read SO many posts on the subject and have tried some things. Unfortunately I continue to get this message .
    This server may not exist or is not operational at this time. Check server name or IP address and try again.
    If I can send and receive emails from work then the server must be operational mustn't it?
    I have tried the Apple Support Chat and phone and after hours of frustration would love someone to direct me to the solution.
    I have tried Connect to Server and used to use VPN.

    First, to what service are you trying to connect on the work server? I.e. what protocol? E-mail works, but e-mail might be publicly visible, while the other service(s) you are attempted to reach may be private (and VPN) only. Have you configured your VPN? Is it a Cisco VPN?
    There are quite a number of steps involved in setting up access to a remote network correctly, and you need to know quite a few details of how the remote network is designed. Without that, we cannot help you very much.
    Have you even talked to the IT people at your work?
