Setting up XServe out of the box for Video

Our station just purchased an XServe RAID 1TB for storage of a documentary shot on HDCAM. I've connected the HDCAM deck to a Kona 3 breakout box and everything seems to work fine. I have the XServe connected by fiber channel, but not Ethernet.
I open Disk Utility to set up a RAID and it won't let me "Create" it. The RAID Admin Utility doesn't show the XServe either.
I waited a day for the XServe to finish its initial drive indexing (although there wasn't any pop-up or warning saying it was in the process of indexing drives).
I am just a "video" guy...so I'm certain I am missing key information about setting up a RAID. Can anyone talk me through the set up? Does the Ethernet cable make a difference?
The end use will be just to store video for this project. The XServe will not be networked until we add drives next year.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kevin

Kevin,
I believe you're talking about Xserve RAID, not Xserve.
The only way you can manage/monitor Xserve RAID is over Ethernet, using the RAID Admin application.
At any rate, when you first plug in Xserve RAID it will do a surface scan of the disks -- this takes about 36 hours. The unit is usable during this time. You plug it in to the fibre channel card in your machine (G5? Must be if you got a PCI-Express Kona 3 card in there), and go to Disk Utility, and you should see a big volume (actually, when you boot you should get a "you have inserted a volume that OS X cannot read... format it?" dialog). From there you can initialize it... it will be ~700 GB in size (a 1 TB XSR comes set up as RAID 5 from Apple which loses 250 GB of space to parity, and thus it's about 700 GB). No need to do RAID in Disk Utility... the RAID is done in hardware inside the Xserve RAID itself.
So format it, and then just treat it like a very big firewire hard drive. The RAID with 4 drives cannot handle uncompressed SD, but you should be able to capture HDV or DVDPRO HD or uncompressed SD to it. If you want to capture uncompressed HD you need 14 drives in the RAID for the bandwidth.

Are there Apple translated (i18n) resource files ("out-of-the-box") for Objective C? In the SDK?

Hello, experts:
From previous experience, I know that both Adobe and Oracle provide some "out-of-the-box" translations for their respective UI language. I'm new to Apple development and Objective C and looking to determine if any such localization support is provided by Apple for Objective C. Hint: Thinking it might be either included in the SDK or downloadable but I could not find any such information. Does Apple provide any translated resources?
Thank you in advance for your help.

To follow up on Tom's advice, if you go directly to the downloads directory:
https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/downloads/
There are resource files meant to be used by the old AppleGlot that provide a lot of Apple's translations.

Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow. There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created.
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

Out of the box support for Solaris 10???

I'm curious to what video and network cards are supported out of the box for Solaris 10? I have already viewed the HCL, but the list doesn't really give a straight answer.

Brand New Ipod touch 4th gen right earphone jack not working out of the box. Bought at Wal-Mart yesterday. Are we missing something in the set up or should we return it?

We just purchased an ipod touch 4th gen 8 gb from Wal Mart. OUt of the box the right headphone is not working. Tried numerous pairs of headphones..tried the mono settings and nothing is working. Is there a setting we are missing or should we just return it?

If the headphone plug is fully inserted, I would return the iPod for a replacement

After the in place upgrade from SharePoint server 2007 to 2010, the out of the box approval workflow does not prompt for additional information after check in of a major version.

I think it has to do with the interaction between Word, InfoPath, IIS, and /or SharePoint, but I cannot put my finger on it. Maybe client integration or authentication settings? I have looked at it in wireshark
and have not seen anything glaring.
Steps to reproduce the (working) behavior:
Set up a document library in SharePoint 2010.
Under versioning settings, make the following changes:
Set Require Content Approval for submitted Items to Yes
Select Create Major and Minor (draft) versions
Set require checkout to Yes
Create an out of the box “approval” workflow with the following settings:
Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item.
I then create a new document. Save it. check it in. it is now version 0.1.
I then open it again. check it out. Make a change. Close and save it.
Check it in.
Publish major version:
At this point a screen is presented to me to enter workflow parameters. This screen comes up in Enterprise 2013 and MOSS 2007, but not the migrated version of 2010:
This is what I need help with. It should come up in 2010. To fix it in 2013, I had to change the IIS bindings to only have 1 entry for a port. I did this for 2010 and it did not work.
Any help or ideas is very appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Chris,
According to your description, my understanding is that the approval workflow cannot work when the workflow was set to start to approve publishing a major version of an item after upgrading to SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the approval workflow in Workflow settings of the corresponding library to see if the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is checked.
For test, I recommend to create a new OOB approval workflow and set it to start to approve publishing a major version of an item in the same library to see if the workflow can work.
Thanks

Extend out-of-the-box script for Publishing Vendor to ERP.

Hello Experts,
We are using ESO 5.1 SP9.
I would like to now how it's possible to modify the out-of-the-box script that publishes the vendor to ERP (this script actually generates an XML file). Current client wants to add more fields that are required in their SAP backend system.
I've already created the extension fields so this information can be captured by the vendor in ESO system. Now I need the information found on these fields to move to the XML file so PI module can process them to ERP.
Only thing I found was through Setup-> System Setup -> Integration -> Script Definition -> Publish Supplier.
Script is as follows:
import com.frictionless.sap.integration.exporter.FileExporter;
FileExporter exporter = new FileExporter(doc);
exporter.process();
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Guys,
I was trying to replicate this in version 7.0 for master agreement's extensions.
I've enabled the extensions in the Integrated Document Configuration for the class
contracts.Contract.
Is there anything else that I should set/configure to get this working? I'm looking the XML file that is being sent to PI and the extensions are not there.
Thanks!
Robert

Move document set [out of the box]

is there a out of the box solution to move document set between libraries?
I have created site collection using Document Center site template for SP2013 Enterprise.
I was really surprised that Doc Set has no functionality to move it from one library to another?
Option needs to be available to end user in like 3-4 steps from document set ...
Any tips?

Hi
TUlee ,
For moving document set between libraries, you can use the Site Content and Structure in the site settings. Using the Site Content and Structure function we can manage both the content and structure
of your SharePoint site collection. To access the Site Content and Structure page, you must have a minimum of Contribute permissions.
For more information, you can refer to the article:

[Beginner] build a calendar app for each team using out of the box calendar app

Hi all,
First of all, I'm a beginner in sharepoint and need some advice in the following case:
We want to to create a calendar for different teams. Each team has it's own calendar to schedule a standby (all day event) for each day. In the overall view we want to see for each team the schedule who's standby (overlay). My preferred solution is to create
a new site and use the calendar app and customize this a little bit.
I tried to do this by creating a new calendar app and adding different views for each team. I have set the group calendar option on true so we can add users to each team calendar view. Unfortunately, I have understand that it is not possible to set default
users for each view. I´m also looking how I can set a default title filled with the name of the view when you add a schedule, I tried to do this with a calculated value but I can´t get that working. An other question is, can I set permissions on each team
view who can edit the schedule or is it better to create for each team an own list? For example, I want to disable that team members can edit schedules in the past, only schedules in the future is editable.
I'm not not sure if the out of the box calendar app is suitable for my case or I have to look futher in other solutions. Any advice is welcome!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to build a calendar app which can add default users for each calendar view and set default title when adding schedule.
For adding default users in each group calendar view using custom JavaScript, here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
SharePoint Group Calendar, Adding default users
For adding default title when adding schedule, I suggest you can add some Jquery to fill the title textbox when the schedule new form loading. You can add the Jquery under PlaceHolderMain tag of calendar new form page.
Set Textbox value-using JQuery
For setting permission in the each team view, I suggest you can check the schedule end time in the edit form, if the schedule time is before the current date time, then you can set all the fileld read only using Jquery.
More information:
Jquery function to compare date with current date
Jquery set read only

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This will install the version of OS X that originally came with your model if you have a model that supports Internet Recovery - 2010 models and later: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.

Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

How do I sync my iPad to iTunes after setting it up independently out of the box?

I bought my iPad a couple of months ago and set it up straight out of the box as I didnt have my laptop there. It is synced to back up over Lion and all that Jazz but now I want to sync it to my iTunes so that I can put big files on it easily (movies etc). However, it wants me to completely restore it and resync and set up through iTunes, I will therefore lose everything...
What do I do?

Read this blog and see if this isn't something that you might want to try. I've never had to do this, but I've referred a few users to this - who were having the same issue as you - and it worked for them.
Take a look.

Clean Install VS Time Machine for "out of the box" performance

Hi all ^^
Just under a year a go I made the leap of PC to Mac and have never looked back, im super happy with my Mac however I have been experiancing a decrease in performance since Ive been using it, back when I was using a PC I clean installed the OS once a year and then proceeded to add my files back, thus restoring my PC to full performance.
Ive been reading around these forums looking at Time Machine backups, hoping to see 'how much' gets restored when you perform a recovery from time machine, and from what I have read is that everything gets restored. So my question is purely for some advice and clarification
"If I want to restore my Macbook to its "out of the box" performance, Is it viable for me to use a Time Machine back up?"
if not
"If Time Machine Back ups wont help restoring performance, Would it be possible to Clean Install and then extract purely the Files from my TM Back up?" I read another user had issues, the Mac recognised the files belonged to another mac and he couldent use them.
So I wont waffle on any furthur, but im looking for the easist way to clean install or restore performance to my Mac, a long term solution I can use each year
Please and Thank you
Em

Thankyou for your answer
Im quite a clean freak when it comes to my PC, I keep my desktop bare, things I dont use remain unloaded.etc
I think as I am without a Defrag or Disk Clean up tool I feel abit helpless to maintain optimal standards. I not very experianced with the in's and out's of computers but all I really want on my Mac are my Files, Applications and the OS, nothing more.
I appreciate your time and experiance, so ild ask instead: In your experiance is it worth performing a clean install? I have hadly any junk on my Mac, and from the tone of your post you beleive a program such as MacKeeper would be sufficent?
Futhurmore a clean install once a year isnt worth it? I depend alot on what people have told me, so I may have fallen victim to a rumour :S

Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.
