Should I use Keychain or 3rd party S/W to store passwords securely?

What is best way to keep track of passwords? I now use an MS Word file that has a master password to open. I looked at PasswordBox app. I tried to figure out Keychain - a bit opaque. I want security.

I tried a few password managers, like LastPass and 1 Password, and found them cumbersome.
I like the iCloud keychain. It is free, straightforward to use, and works across all my mac hardware. (LastPass was free for the mac but required a subscription fee for iOS). I have not seen any credible information that it has any security problems, nor any reports of security breaches with it. Here is a reference with some facts: iCloud: iCloud security and privacy overview

Photo album book quality, should I use Apple or 3rd party

I am putting together a coffee table wedding album with Aperture 3. I want the bindings to last. Will the books printed by Apple stand up to the ages and how is the print quality compared to 3rd party printers that are Aperture friendly. Price is a consideration.

If you are using Apple's books, use RGB, Apple might not understand CYMK. If you are getting your book printed somewhere else, you will need to talk to them.

How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain.
Even Appls's FAQ says so:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps? Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

Need help using Waves 64bit, 3rd party plug-ins with Premiere CS5

I'm trying to install and use a bundle of 64bit 3rd party audio plug-ins from Waves in Premiere.
I am on a Mac running OS 10.9.3.
I can't figure out how to get Premiere CS5 to recognize my 3rd party Waves 9.3 bundle.
The plug-ins are listed and fly by one by one on the loading splash screen while Premiere launches. I can't find them anywhere in Premiere once it launches. Aparently both the VST and AU units work. But how? Where/how do I load the plug ins so I can access them in the audio effects folder?
thanks in advance!
Alex

i think the audio plugin manager was something new added, but i dont remember when. as im looking thru older threads at cs5, they make it sound as if premiere will just load and use what it can. when an effect doesn't show up, its usually cause premiere determined it couldn't use it. if you have the 64-bit version of premiere and 64-bit audio plugins, they should work, unless premiere has some issue with them. i think waves uses vst3 and AU (audio units)? while vst2 should work in cs5, im not sure if vst3 or au are supported until cs7. so im at a loss, unless someone else knows better. if you have access to audition, you can try to load them in there to use.

Using Outlook or 3rd party tool to move content to other account

Hi.
I'm about to do a migration of a company's hosted Exchange mailboxes to mailboxes which will be hosted in our hosting environment based on Exchange 2013 servers.
So I need to move data from 70 mailboxes to 70 new mailboxes. I don't have administrative rights on the source server as that is another company's property, I'm "only" the administrator of the target server so a powershell export of the mailboxes
to pst is not an option.
Therefore I plan to use Outlook 2013 for the migration. I will configure 70 profiles which will connect to both the old mailboxes and the new mailboxes thereby giving me the possibility to just copy/paste the content to the new mailboxes. I
don't see the need to export to pst files first when I can connect to two Exchange accounts in the same Outlook profile.
So problem for me is that it would be sooooo nice if I could just right click the old mailbox at the top level and choose "copy folder to" and then it would copy AND merge all folders to the new mailbox. Outlook
doesn't give me that option. I've found a 3rd party Tool (Pandali Folder Master for Outlook) that get's me a bit of the way, problem is that it doesn't merge the source folders into the target folders so I will have to do a bit of copy/paste afterwards.
Probably this could work for me but it would be best if it just merged the folders automatically when encountering matching foldernames.
So I'd like to know if anyone has come across a tool that would suit me better?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi and and thanks for the reply.
I think you misunderstood me. I don't wanna export to PST and I don't have the EDB files handy. I wanna start Outlook and have both the old mailbox and the new mailbox opened in the same Outlook profile. Then I wan't a 3rd part Tool to help me move content
from the old mailbox and directly to the new mailbox. No PST files should be involved. Both the old and the new mailbox will be available all the time so a copy/paste operation is possbile, but I wanna minimize the mouse clicks and hopefully find a Tool that
can do this for me :)
Best

APPLE LOOPS AS BASE FOR SONG - CAN I USE IT? - 3RD PARTY?

I have used an iLife Loop as the basis for the pre chorus and chorus of a song I have created. The rest is mine and I have written lyrics for the whole.
It seems to me that a third party wrote the jingle and could have a claim on this. Is this correct?
If so then how would I find out who that is and gain permission and or assign part of the copyright to them should income come from the song?
The Logic Pro and MainStage software license agreements state:
"Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by or accessed through the Apple Software to the respective content owner.
Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content.
Whilst the use of the Loop from Apple's point of view seems to be OK this clause, prior to that muddies the waters. Anybody have any insight on this please?
Thanks

Grow Windows Partition using BootCamp or 3rd party application

Hi,
My client is using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista 32 bit. The client uses Windows most of the time.
My question is, can I grow the Windows Partition using BootCamp or a 3rd party app without having to reinstall Windows?

Hi,
best way to enlarge the BootCamp partition is the useage of WinClone http://twocanoes.com/winclone/ which also is a great backup app for BootCamp Windows.
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how-to do this: http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 (Under *My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?* )
Other applications which claim that hey can resize BootCamp Windows partitions are iPartition and Drive Genius, but I never have used them.

I,ve got the mid 2011 2.7 ghz imac running m lion. Should i use bootcamp or third-party software?

The reason i ask is due to my lack of faith in apples software. I,ve tried s leopard, lion and now m lion and my imac is still slower than all my friends windows computers. whether its internet based or non internet based its always slow. in my defense the imac choice was based on my ipad 2 which is ace. the imac cost over £1300 and i expected a lot better. Anyway i use it for gaming quite a lot and i,m prepared to upgrade the graphics card and buy windows 7 or 8 just for game accessability and the option of being able to use a gamepad that actually works with the imac. Are there any risks or disadvantages involved with using boot camp. I don,t have much confidence in Apples software as every system i,ve used has bricked my computer and caused me to reinstall due to apple software conflicts. (Apple tech supports theory and they charged me £35 for this little nugget even though i bought the imac Jan 2012 new). i refuse to pay for a backup solution as i think it should be free like system restore on windows. I purposefully don,t store anything important on the imac due to past probs so losing data i can live with. Slowing it down further i cannot. Please help.

you can't upgrade the video cards on imacs
it's confusing what you are asking bootcamp is apples software which let you run windows native on your imac
the alternative is parallels or virtualbox if you need to run windows apps and those being emulated and will not have full access to the video card would not be good for gaming

Using OEM to backup/restore DB using EMC Avamar (3rd party)

Hi,
I'm trying to find a solution for using OEM to backup and restore DB using EMC Avamar software.
Normally, we can backup/restore DB using Avamar through RMAN CLI using scripts similar to the following:
connect target /
run {
configure controlfile autobackup on;
set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt to 'CONTROLFILE.orcl.%F';
allocate channel c0 type sbt PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll" format '%d_%U';
send '"--prefix=11g/orcl/" "--flagfile=c:\flagfile\avtar-flags.txt" "--bindir=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin"';
backup database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel c0;
Where orasbt64.dll is the name of Avamar's 64bit library and flagfile contains some internal flags necessary for backup/restore operations.
Now, I want to use OEM for the same thing so, what I did was try to specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters under Backup Settings in OEM. I saved the following as the parameters:
"SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll";
Even after this, the backup script generated by OEM does not contain this parameter. Naturally, backups to EMC Avamar fail.
I would like answers to these 2 questions:
1. How to correctly specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters?
2. Is there a way to specify all the parameters (--prefix, flagfile, bindir, PARMS etc.) so that the script generated by OEM is same (or as close as possible) to the one I use for RMAN CLI backups.
Thanks!

Hi Anant,
I'm also having the same issue. It fails because it doesn't understand the "send" command in OEM. Here is the output of the tape backup test:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel oem_sbt_backup type 'sbt_tape' format '%U' parms 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so,

4> send "--flagfile=/home/oracle/scripts/backup/my-avtar-flags.txt"';
5> backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET current controlfile tag '04302012033156';
6> restore controlfile validate from tag '04302012033156';
7> release channel oem_sbt_backup;
8> }

When I use TSM it doesn't require the "send" command and it backs up successfully. I guess the other option would be to create an EM job to do the backups. However, this wouldn't populate the EM tables for backup reporting.

Update always removes 3rd party add ons - ie Trusteer Rapport Security

I always use Trusteer Rapport as additional security as recommended by the financial institutions.
Works fine with Firefox 4.0 but as always updates do not improve personal settings just removes them.
Why cannot Firefox work with software companies to include them?

Why buy 3rd party software from app store?

I want to buy the home accounting software YNAB. I could buy it directly from the vendor or (for the same price) from the Mac App Store. (Apple takes 1/3 of the price; I care about that, but only slightly.) With the receipt, the vendor will also allow me to use the product on its own, on multiple devices, with no reference to the App Store, and on Windows machines (which I don't have). Or, buying YNAB from the App Store, I can use it with any device that I am sharing with. Someone can correct me if I have misunderstood the details of these two ways to buy the software. Will these differences matter at all to me? I'm trying to imagine a scenario where one or the other is preferable.

Minor updates from the MAS are free, major version upgrades are usually paid. However, it isn't up to Apple, it is the developer's choice whether to issue upgrades for free. The issue is that Apple isn't going to get in the middle of giving the app as a free upgrade and selling the same version as a paid app. The version is either a paid app or a free app.
You are able to install the apps from the MAS on as many Macs as you own or have in your control. A Mac belonging to your employer, but which you share with other employees, is not in your control. A Mac issued to you by your employer for your sole use, is in your control.

Moving average update for 3rd Party sales order

Hello All,
We have configured a 3rd party sales order process. The schedule line category is configured with account assignment categoory as "M". when we are creating GR the Moving average price of the material is not getting updated.
But if i replace with "E" it is getting updated, but the CO-PA is not getting generated for Profitability segment reporting.--we need profitability segment reportng.
Can some one tell me how we can update the moving average price using acc. asssignment category type "M" at the same time the Profitability segement information is updated.
THanks in advance
Appreciate your help
Arpita Rani

Hello Arpita
For 3rd party orders functionality you need to use account assignment category of X and not M. E and M are for individual Purchase orders. You should not use them for 3rd party.
Please see the following OSS notes and follow along:
210997 - Accnt assignment categories in third-party and indiv.PO

Good luck.

Communicating with a 3rd party system using webservices

Hi all,
I have a scenario
3rd party <-> XI<->CRM.
here im using SOAP between 3rd party <->XI, xi<->CRM im using ABAP proxies.
scenario 1. 3rd party would send messages(client request) to cRM to get some data. CRM has to respond for that.
scenario 2. CRM would request the 3rd party to get some data, then 3rd party would respond.
scenario 3. there is no request from 3rd party but crm has to send the data.
So 3rd party would communicate using webservices sends the request to cRM. if there is any request from cRM then 3rd party have a webservice to serve.
My question is
1) for cRM side i should create a webservice? if i create this where shold i create? i mean i should put this webservice on WAS of CRM or on XI ? If i create this webservice and put on CRM WAS, could this communicate with XI by using ABAP proxies? when CRM sends a request to 3rd party, to send this i should create another webservice ?
could you please anyone tell me about this?
thanks a lot in Advance

Hi,
<i>for cRM side i should create a webservice? if i create this where shold i create? i mean i should put this webservice on WAS of CRM or on XI ? If i create this webservice and put on CRM WAS, could this communicate with XI by using ABAP proxies?</i>
As to your first question, you dont have to create webservice on CRM side, all you have to do is to define an outbound interface in XI, and generate proxies for that outbound interface in CRM.
<i>when CRM sends a request to 3rd party, to send this i should create another webservice ?</i>
You havent specified who the 3rd party is DataBase/R3/etc. Let us assume the end system is truely external from your landscape. if the 3rd party provides you with a webservice, you can import taht webservice into XI and use it as an inbound interface.
Hence, you would then map the outbound interface from CRM-> XI to your inbound interface XI->3rd party.
3rd party provided webservice could be written in java/.net.

Softmotion using CANOpen/EtherCAT with 3rd party drives

Hi,
We have a LabVIEW application on Windows that is controlling 3 Bosch rexroth servodrives using CANOpen.
(Using Industrial Communications for CANOpen toolkit) and PCI-8531.
The application is controlling the 3 drives individually (no motion control / NC)
We would like to upgrade this application so that we can do motion control (combine the individual drives to make NC-movements).
I found this link : softmotion using CANOpen : http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/nl/nid/201873
However this is only with certain 3rd party servodrives. Is there a solution for other CiA DSP 402 compliant servodrives?
Is my only alternative to switch to EtherCAT servodrives and use the NI SoftMotion for EtherCAT?
Will this work with any 3rd party ethercat drive (in this case Bosch Rexroth Indradrive Cs)?
Thanks!

Hi Thomas,
1) The NI Softmotion Controller for CANopen is no longer a sold product and therefore would not be a viable upgrade path.
However, there are Third Party Add-Ons (developed by partners) that are written for CiA402 compliant devices.
The first example I found was the following one:
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/nl/nid/210877
If you want to verify if this 3rd party toolkit also support your CANOpen Modules, then you should verify this with the 3rd party.
2) If you are planning to use the NI SoftMotion Module, then the following table can be useful in determining which HW/SW combinations will work (eg. EtherCAT):
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5F019205291BF02686257A07007D1B06?OpenDocument
Aside from which interface you are going to use (eg. EtherCAT, ...) it would be also important to keep in mind the NI Hardware set-up you are going to use (eg. cRIO).
Using the NI SoftMotion Module for specific Interfaces imposes some requirements for the type of hardware that can/should be used:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371093T-01/mclvhowto/smrequirements/
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371093T-01/mclvhowto/motionprojectresourcesecatdrive/
One of the first requirements for this would be that you have to use a Real-Time Controller.
One solution to accomplish this could be to use a cRIO with an EtherCAT port and connect an etherCAT based drive to it (eg. AKD drive).

Procedure for 3rd Party

Dear Experts,
We have some 3rd party vendor from where we purchase FG. And the transaction is like that we give PO to 3rd party. They pack the material as per our BOM provide in mail. Then they supply the material at our stock point and our stock point do the GRN. but in this case we are unable to track the BOM of some products as no production order or SAP activity is done at third end. So kindly confirm me how we should maintain the BOM for 3rd party without plant code generation,
Or else suggest me how to do this transaction in the best way so that at any time we can be able to trace that so as so batches was packed in so and so packing material.
Regards,
Phalgun Patel

Phalgun,
It is unclear to me why you need to 'plan' a BOM for the Vendor. In standard 3rd party processing, all you do is place a PO with the vendor, and the Vendor delivers the product directly to your customer. Batch numbers used are created by the vendor, according to the terms of your contract. You are unconcerned how he internally plans his order, and he never actually sends his output to you. He is solely responsible for procuring any RM or services required to fill your PO, and for fulfilling any batching and traceability requirements contained in the contract. Any Doc you send to him about BOM is not for you to use for planning purposes, it is part of the contract specifications.
So, can you be a little more specific exactly why the vendor is delivering material to you, and why you need a BOM.
Best Regards,
DB49
