Setup advice for a switcher

I do need advice and I am not sure what is the right post for this. After a less than great experience with Vista and great experience with a Macbook (my son's machine) and iPhone and iPods, we are ready to move to a 100% Mac environment (Thanks to Adobe as they will allow me to transfer all my expensive Adobe products from Windows to Mac). What is the best way to get advice on what to buy? The Genious Bar? I need to buy one iMac (or should I buy a Mac Server??) as the main unit to replace my HP Tower, get my pre-ordered MBA and set up my home network, set up 2 Terabytes of Hard Disk space for my pics (NAS preferred), set up 500GB of NAS device for my music for use with a SONOS system...
I am a writer and a photographer so my main application is Lightroom, a bit of Photoshop CS3, Microsoft Office and tons on Internet usage of course. I also need to manage with website, that is currently hosted by a provider that does not support Apple so I will need to switch to a provider that allows me to edit my web site from Apple platform...
I am not an IT guy but managed to set this up with Windows XP and Vista so I would expect it to be easier with Apple? Should I go to the Mac store? contact a IT Consultant in the Seattle Area? or get the advice somewhere here in the forums?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lujosalgo,
Welcome in the Mac Community. I will try to help you as much as I can here.
Genius bar is of course a logical choice for you. They seem to be great (unfortunately we don't have those in Europe yet.).
However, a short note on your website designing... You might already know that each new Macs sports the iLife apps and with that iWeb, which is a great piece of software.
With that, you should be able to publish your websites to just about any provider who allows you to publish HTML sites via FTP. (My provider first told me too that they don't support Macs, but here I am: http://www.vaosdesign.com )
Everything made with iWeb. I just needed a little workaround: iWeb can't publish it directly, but with the help of another piece of Software named CyberDuck (just google for it) you can publish directly to the FTP server of your provider.
If you need more help, just drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll be glad to help you out.
I don't have any experience with NAS though... but I work with Apple computers since 1992 so I should be able to help you on the most standard problems.
Cheers mate,
Rene

Server Setup advice for a video production house

Hello Forum,
I recently started working for a small video production company, I need advice on the type of server and other hardware and services that will allow my co-workers to work efficiently. Here are some details:
Currently we are going to buy a new server, I am not sure what we should look at getting,
currently we use a mini mac running OSX server and have 6 iMacs that the editors and other staff use.
We also have a 15 TB Drobo network storage device which is attached to the mini-mac server we are going to replace.
The production team uses Final Cut and Motion to build documentaries.
The other issue is that need a way to connect the office in Baltimore to the office in Washington DC and ideally share files between each location, currently they cannot access the network from Baltimore and have to have a copy of the unedited footage on their own Drobo.
What type of server setup do you recommend? Quad core? speed?
Should we set up a VPN to connect offices or does someone have a better idea, if so what applications do we need?
I know windows networking pretty well, but Mac is totally new to me.Currently editing files from the server is really slow and files are usually pulled to the iMacs to do editing, burning DVDs from files on the server hardly ever works- they pull them local then burn the DVD and it works.
I would love to hear suggestions to help us get up and running.
Anyone know of a good website for server setup- Since there is no Domains in OSX that i know of, how can we secure the network? Links would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well if your looking for performance. You could get a Promise VTrak E-Class RAID with 32TB of storage, later on you can add more chassis to the raid for more storage space. The raid can be expanded up to 160TB. (80 drive bays, each drive 2 TB)
Using fiber you could attach the raid to an xServer or Mac Pro (running mac os x server). You'll probable want at least 8 or 16 GB of ram on the server.
The server can run a copy of final cut server. Witch makes it easer to work as a group. Mac OS X server, when properly configured, can also be used to create a VPN between both locations.
Final Cut Server will let editors check in/out specific parts of the documentaries. So the project lives on the server; instead of scattered over every ones computers. Part of this is you can pull down thumb nails versions of the video to work off of. Only when you do the final render do you download the HD version of the video.
If you want even better performance on the editing stations. you could also upgrade to Mac Pros. Mac Pros have upgrade slots witch you can use to add fiber networking. You could also use the upgrade slots to add a black magic real time HD capture card.
Or if you want to keep the imacs. you might want to hook the server to a switch by fiber, and have the imacs connected to the same switch by 1000-T
If you call apple i'm sure they'd be happy to help you figure this all out.

Advice for a switch to connect to my Extreme?

I want to buy a switch that will connect to my Airport Extreme N and give me additional ports to connect ethernet cables to. Can anyone give me any things I should look into when buying one? Is there one that works well with the Extreme?
Thanks.

if I have slow internet service is there still an advantage to having the gigabit switch?
It won't help your Internet speed, but any data transfers, copying, backups etc between devices on your local network will go about 10 times faster with Gigabit capability. For an investment of an additional $15-20 or so for a Gigabit switch, that buys you quite a lot of potential performance improvement, and you will be future proofing your network as well.
Which ethernet cable will need to be upgraded? Just the cable going from the wall to the modem to the switch? OR will all cable on the network need to be upgraded?
You would want to use CAT5e or CAT6 cabling if you want to realize the advantages of Gigabit speeds on your network.
The cable from the modem to the router is not as critical, as chances are you do not have a 100 Mbps connection from your Internet service provider. But, if its been 4-5 years since you installed the modem, it couldn't hurt to go ahead and replace that cable as well.
If you don't want to utiltize the advantages of Gigabit speeds on your network, regular CAT5 cabling will work fine. If the runs are not too long, CAT5 cable will usually support Gigabit speeds as well.

Advice for someone switching from PC

I've been an avid PC person for like 15 years, even used to work as a PC tech and consultant.
I am SERIOUSLY considering switching to Mac -- and I adore the 15" PB, it is exactly what I need...
Frankly I despise Windoze XP and cant deal with it, or mismatched hardware etc, any longer!
and... OSX is simply astonishing. I cant wait to run it.
...but I have a few questions before I drop the $$$ and make this major life switchover!!
1.) Expensive software
2.) The serious issue of the lower memory slot/logic board burning out on the 15" PB's (should I go 12" or 17", which I dont want to?) Perhaps the newest revision will solve this.
3.) Needing to drop a bunch of money for Apple Care -- I've never had to do this with the 7 PC's I've owned. (granted most laptops dont make it to 3 years) But over $100 a year for an extended warranty is kind of insane, but by reading these forums, it seems the PB's are prone to many issues and looks as if AC is needed.
I am in a quandry here? Thoughts? I really really want to make this switch to Mac, but this is more than just a computer switch, it is a life switch for me!
Thanks!

I was in the same position you are in now. I am the VP of IT for my large company and have been a windows girl from the start. I'd dabbled in Unix/Linux but with the job it just didn't afford me the time.
I am now the proud owner of a new G4 Powerbook. I have the upgraded Ram for 1gig and 100G Hard drive. I was able to integrate it seamlessly to my network at work and my home office. Other posters were correct about Version tracker. I have Office standard addition and it retails US for $399.95 at the apple store.
Here is a link that I did as a comparison to PC base Office also. You will see that they cost the same.
http://shop3.outpost.com/search?searchtype=regular&sqxts=1&querystring=office&cat=12068&submit.x=13&submit.y=12
As for the Apple Care, all it will take is once of your computer whether it be a laptop or a desktop for you to be willing to turn out the extra money. I myself have not had any problems with the logic board but my PB is still fairly new being only 3 months old.
Since I have owned my Powerbook I find it very hard to open a Pc.
Hope this helped.

System setup advice for MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum.

Here is the PC I'm putting together:
Enermax EG465P-VE Noisetaker PSU with 29A on combined 12v rail
5v=30A 3.3v=30A 12V1=18A and 12V2=18A (comb 12v=29A)
MSI K8N Neo 2 Plat
AMD 3000+ winchester Retail box (carefully replacing AMD shin etsu with Artic Silver 5)
WD 80GB 800JB 7200 rpm EIDE HD
OCZ 2 x 256 PC3200 Premier Dual Chan Memory (2.5-3-3-7) (List on MSI website as ok)
Matrox G400 max
adaptec 2930u scsi adapter
Pioneer 303S 6x scsi DVD rom
Umax 1200S scsi scanner
Plextor 24/10/40 EIDE CDRW
External USR robotics serial modem
Microsoft regular keyboard PS2
Logitech regular wheel mouse PS2
regular old 1.44 MB floppy drive
Installing Win XP Pro upgrade (have my 98SE CD)
In the future I will possibly ditch my scsi DVD rom and replace with NEC dual layer burner and replace Plextor CDRW with 52/32/52 CDRW/DVD ROM. For now I'm going with what I have.
No plans to overclock now if ever. Perhaps a small amount later. Maybe 2.0 ghz? Maybe no overclocking at all.
Not a gaming rig really, although I'll try the odd game at low resolution.
So is there anything I should do ahead of time? I am carefully installing the board in the case and everything that goes with it. What sort of configuration setups should I do? Do I flash to a more updated BIOS first? Do I leave onboard things un-activated first? How do I setup my memory? For instance, I may look for the best BIOS to start with and have it ready to use if I have problems. I may also use the nVidia drivers for onboard audio instead of the realtek drivers.
Not looking for all the answers, just feel free to point out any of the obvious which may save me time
thanx in advance for any help

There is a compatibility issue betwen the Matrox G series cards and the MSI Neo Platinum motherboards, which AFAIK, hasn't been solved yet. The problem seems to be a result of changes made in the newer versions of the MSI bios, however you may be stuck if you need a newer bios for the Winchester cpu. You can find out more if you do a search on Matrox in this forum.

Setup advice for rsync, ssh keys and launchd - all for remote webserver backup

Hi There,
This is the first time I'm doing this and I have limited command line experience but I need to setup a automatic backup of our webservers.
rsync
I have 4x rsync commands that work when run from the command line manually - here is an example, they just pull files from a few directories:
sudo rsync -avzO -e ssh [email protected]:/backups/ /Volumes/ServerVolume/webserver-backups/DEV/mysql/
I had issues with writing the files locally when running the above so had to do it as root and also add -O (-avzO). But because I need to run these automaticlly, I'm worried that running them as root will require a password - is that correct?
Also, while I've setup ssh keys, I feel unsure this has been done correctly - how do I test this properly?
launchd
While I've set up cron jobs on the webserver (a mysql dump) I don't have any experience with launchd and feel a bit out of my depth after reading the pages here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystem Startup/Chapters/ScheduledJobs.html
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystem Startup/Chapters/CreatingLaunchdJobs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001762-104142
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/launchd.8.html#//apple_ref/doc/man/8/launchd
I'm guessing I need to:
Somehow make the rsync command a file that wil execute in Terminal - do I just put it in a file and give it a .sh extension?
Create a launchd Property List File that will run the script at certain times
Somehow register the Property List File with launchd so it runs
Or maybe I should just use Automator and iCal?
I did try getting automator to run the rsync commands in terminal from iCal (I just pasted the commands straight in and set automator to pass them as arguments) but it doesn't seem to launch terminal so if there are errors, I can't see what they are. Because they started though, I think my SSH keys are setup.
Maybe it would just be better to figure out what is wrong with rsync commands and the permissions and just make these all run unattented from iCal?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Need logical setup advice for new iTunes on external HDD and new laptop

New to Win7, would like to know the best way to re-create from scratch my 5+ year old iTunes library on a new external hard drive without simply copying the previous iTunes folder structure over. I guess that I would like to add all the music, video, movie and iPhone app files to a new library. What is the best method to do this so that iTunes can organize all of the new data from scratch correctly? What about reauthorizing apps and media I purchased through iTunes? anything special to do to reintroduce this data to a new iTunes?
(to clarify - I intend to install the iTunes program on my local C drive in programs on the laptop and all data on the external drive) Thanks...

Steve M. wrote:
I know I should have redundant backups and should probably have a second external HD and eventually will.
Yes, that's best.
But for now, if I partition (I'm assuming I should) a new 1 TB external HD, how big should I make the TM partition vs. the SD partition at this point assuming I have under 100 GB on my internal Mac HD? Is this a feasible way of doing things here in the near term.
Your best bet is to make your TM partition 2-3 times the size of the amount of data you anticipate backing-up. Put it first on the drive; that way, later on you can delete the partition below it, expand the TM partition, and make a new, smaller partition for SD (or use the whole drive). See #1, #3, #5 and #6 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, for details.
By the way, any recommendations on which peripheral HDs to consider? I was very surprised on a recent visit to my local Apple Store that they have a large stock of WD My Studio drives. I mentioned to an Apple sales person that I had always heard WDs were kind of a no-no among Mac users but she assured me the current crop of them were much improved. Any comment on that??
Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
If you're going to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376

Creation of ACH pmt advice for EU C.Cd (PMW activated)

Hi experts,
I'm a little at loss with my 1st dealings with the payment medium workbench. I got a requirement to setup payment advice a EU company code that currently sends out ACH payments without advice.
Currently In FBZP,
1- The EU CCd is a paying company and the form is the same Z_REMITT_S used for the client's US company.
2- The ACH payment method is defined for the country. The medium is the payment medium workbench and the format is Z_SEPA_CT.
The US company uses the classic workbench and program RFFOUS_T for ACH.
3- In Define Payment Method for Company code, I hit a snag because Under Form Data, there is only the "Drawer on the Form" segment; the entire "Forms" segment where you'd select your script is missing.
Bottom line is How do I set up payment advice for ACH for a EU company paying EU vendors? (am I even asking the right question here?)

maybe OP want to extract all numbers from his inbox using regular expressions?

Error in Setup Tables for QM Inspection Lots

Hi,
I have an issue when I attempt to fill the setup tables for QM that I receive the following error for the Inspection Lots (QV) only. When I fill the setup tables for Notifications and Inspection Results, then these are OK and use the same standard function module 'qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini'.
"Internal error in program SAPLQMEX, function module / subroutine qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini, code 1".
Has anyone any ideas of the cause or have you experienced this before?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
The most likely reason that leads to the above error message in your
system is an inconsistency of the inspection lots.
To get the inconsistent inspection lot,please check your system in the
following way:
- transaction OLIQBW for running Setup table
- switch on debugging mode
- set break point in the function QMEX_INSPECTION_LOT_IMPORT_INI
on the line:
ELSE.
   MESSAGE e011(qmex) WITH sy-repid
                           'qmex_inspection_lot_import_ini'
                           '1'.
> then excecute F8 to go to this break point.
- double klick on ' l_qals-prueflos'
on line 77 in the same function QMEX_INSPECTION_LOT_IMPORT_INI:
READ TABLE qave_tab INTO l_qave
                    WITH KEY prueflos = l_qals-prueflos <      here !

How to setup QoS for IP/Mac Address WRVS4400N

I need some help setting up QoS for two Cisco/Linksys devivces on my network.
Network devices are Comcast SB6120 modem into WRVS4400n (v2.0.2.1 firmware) that divides into one 24 port gigabit Netgear unmanaged switch, 1 port into AT&T Cisco Microcell, 1 port to HP Officejet 7700 wired printer. Unmanaged switch has approx 10 devices attached (including another 8 port unmanaged gigabit switch). 3 static leases are defined for the network for three devices (HP OJ 7700 printer, Cisco/Linksys PAP2 VOIP adapter, windows home server v1. DHCP is handled by WRVS4400n. Comcast service provides 12mbps of service upstream, 4mbps downstream.
Need to setup QoS for AT&T Microcell and PAP2 VOIP adapter. The real issue that I can't figure out how to configure is IP based priority access. I can do rate control for an IP address but can't figure out how to specify priority control for an IP.
Here are my the current config questions:
1. Bandwidth management page: For the microcell device plugged into port 1, do i set the default CoS to 4 or 1?
2. Bandwidth management page: Should the bandwidth management type be set to priority? I assume yes since I need to define the UDP/TCP ports for priority. The major issues here are
a) one of the ports the Microcell uses is secure https (TCP 443) which is could also be used by any other internet device.
b) can't specify priority for the PAP2, since it's behind the unmanaged 24 port switch
3. QoS setup page: Do I need just 2 queues (one for the port ID for the Microcell and one for the IP address of the Linksys adapter)?
4. QoS setup page: I assume I need to define DSCP for the unmanaged switch but not sure how to tie a queue to an IP address
4. QoS setup page: Shoud priority 0 be set for the most important queue (microcell) and the priority 1 CoS be for the VOIP adapter? Again, not sure about how to define priority by IP address.
5. DSCP setup page: As far as I can find, there's no documentation on how to setup this page.

That's what I do. I keep it simple, one calendar, one set of contacts.
iCloud is really the simplest way to go, as it will sync your (eventual) single Contacts and Calendar across all your devices.
I would:
Figure out which single calendar (in Calendar.app) and contacts (in Contacts.app) that you want to keep.
I'd make a backup of each one. For example,
in Contacts, File > Export... > Contacts Archive...
in Calendar, File > Export... > Calendar Archive...
Make a backup of the other calendar events and contacts that you want to save.
delete all the contacts and calendars from your phones and your iPad.
add the contacts and events from the backups to the single calendar in Calendar.app and your contacts in Contacts.app on your iMac. There is probably some way to export the contacts and events you are adding, and then combine them, but you could also just add them manually.
Then when you configure all your devices for iCloud, they will be all synced automatically.

CS4: "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details" !!

I am using Win XP Pro SP3. I have CS3 installed, and successfully installed Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash from CS4 Design Premium. Then I successfully uninstalled DW, FW and FL CS3.
When I tried to open a SWF in Illustrator it failed to open, and then I tried to create a really simple SWF (a rectangle) by exporting from Illustrator and tried to open that and it also failed. Whenever I tried to open or place ANY SWF into Illustrator I get a "file *** is in an unknown format and cannot be opened" error.
I decided there must be a corrupt file, maybe the upgrade must have affected some Illustrator files, so I tried to repair the CS3 installation. After over 2 hours of INTENSE FRUSTRATION having to constantly switch CS3 and CS4 disks many MANY times, the installation failed, listing "common files" that were missing from non-existent folders such as "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Desktop\Adobe CS4\Fireworks CS4\payloads\etc
When I tried to repair the CS4 installation after loading all the profile settings it errors before the installation window comes up, with "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details". Then it shuts down the installer. I then tried to do a system restore and system restore failed on all restore points!
Please help:
1. Where is "the setup log"?
2. Will creating and populating the folders mentioned in the failed CS3 installation from the CS4 disk allow it to work?
3. How can I uninstall CS4 if I can't even get to the installation window?
4. Has Adobe just DESTROYED MY REGISTRY BEYOND REPAIR!!!???

im haveing a huge irritation useing illustrator cs4 live paint bucket because i can use everything else apart from the paint bucket which should be the easyiest tool to use sometimes it works with the white arrow sometimes it doesnt i sometimes get this below message
the selection contains objects that cannot be converted. live paint groups can only contain paths and compound paths. clipping paths are not allowed
the lines which i have drawn are connected which i believe have to be in order to use the paint bucket and i have no clipping paths so i am am baffled
i presume it is because the line is set to 0.01 it seems the live paint bucket wont notice thin lines, but i tried makeing the line thicker so i could use the paint bucket and it still doesnt work.

Hi Khan
The first servers to be updated in a site are the Mailbox servers even if they are member of DAG.Ensure the DAG node you are updating is in maintainence mode. The Client Access servers are updated second. If you have multi-role servers installed then
both roles are updated at the same time anyway, and you should simply start with the internet-facing servers.
First, you will need to remove any UM language packs that you have installed in previous version. From an elevated cmd prompt navigate to the folder where you have extracted the Exchange 2013 SP1 files and run setup with the /RemoveUMLanguagePack switch. For
example, to remove the “en-us” language pack.

Arch Linux Gaming Setup - Advice?

Okay so with the arrival of BL2 on Linux I want to setup Arch for gaming, but I need some advice towards this.
How would you personally set it up? UEFI or BIOS, EXT4 or BTRFS. FOSS or Catalyst?
What desktops would you also have? I am tempted via KDE5, I think it looks rather sweet, or maybe budgie.
also should I use 3.17 or 3.16?
Any other suggestions for this, I am not very good at setting up arch for gaming..
Many thanks!

Any of those options are fine and won't make a noticeable difference.
The biggest choice is whether to use the open source "radeon" driver or Catalyst, but that's simple to decide: Start with the open source "radeon" driver (it's dead simple to setup). If it doesn't meet the needs of the video games you want to play, then try Catalyst.
