Software Setup advice!!!

Hi, I'm in the middle of a production and I have some problems with system overload... I have a lot of tracks and plugs and UAD plugs too... I haven't in a while checked into the setup such as... in the hardware and drivers menu, how everything should be... and also if there's any computer system adjustments I can do!?

I'm presuming you've set the i/o buffer size to a larger value and are using the freeze function or bouncing tracks for plug-ins that don't support freeze.

"Software setup" asking for registration number, and saying it is invalid

I registered my CS4 with Adobe in August 09 and have been using it ever since. Until today when trying to open InDesign I get a window that says Software Setup wants my registration code. It says I have two options - Use this on a trial basis, or enter registration code, which I did and it says it's invalid.
It seems that InDesign is the only app that won't open and gives me this window. It doesn't say it's an error, just that I need to enter my reg code.
I didn't buy from Adobe, but if it was pirated wouldn't they have been able to tell when I registered it?
I started a case with Adobe support, but from what I'm reading I don't expect much!
Any Ideas?

Thanks Michael,
I have tried this tool three times and no luck. Adobe says my software came with a pc/laptop that I purchased and I need to get help from the vendor I bought it from. Only I didn't buy a pc or laptop from the vendor. I have emailed the vendor, it's an online store, and they haven't responded, yet.
I have reopened the case with Adobe. Just hope I don't have to buy ID again!

Problem with Software Setup?

I was to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite 3 Premium in my Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) and Tiger 10.4.11 with 1GB of RAM. The installation was successful, but opening one of the applications and the Software Setup appeared. I filled out the serial numbers with the green check mark approved and clicked "Next". The next page I filled out the previous CS2 Premium Serial numbers with the green check mark approved and clicked "Next" - it disappeared with the error message saying "The application has unexpectedly quits". I tried again and it unexpectedly quits on all applications again.
I've called the customer service 5 times and tried to solved the problems in different ways, but none knew what was the problem. I reinstall 3 times even after uninstall. I've tried with the safe boot. I suspect that it has to do with the Software Setup errors.
Any suggestions?

Currently, it is uninstalled. All I can remember that it said "The application has unexpectedly quits," just as I said in the first message. (reread the first message same situation).
I requested to return a refund within the 30 days from the purchased. They are in the process of approving upon my Letter of Software Destruction will be notified within few weeks. I've submitted last Sunday and tomorrow is the 30th day agreement.
I assumed this Software Adobe CS3 Design Premium will not be available to register this serial number I have.
Perhaps, you can figure out what was the problem since my machine is Power Mac G4 (PPC), PCI Graphics, 1999, 400MHz, 1 GB of RAM, CD only, 80GB Hard drive, Tiger 10.4.11, J2SE 5.0, and Quicktime 7.4.5
I installed with an SONY external DVD ROM drive (USB plugged in the back of CPU).
Good luck!

How do I locate the Software Setup screen within Photoshop Elements trial product?

How do I get to the Software Setup screen within Photoshop Elements 11 trial product (to convert from trial to paid-up)?

If you are on trial application, so whenever you launch Photoshop Elements Editor, it will give you the option to serialize your product.

Serial Number Problem, software setup in CS4

I recently downloaded and installed Premiere Pro CS4. The installation was successful. When I create a new project, I get a screen for software setup that asks me if I want to continue using the trial version or if I have a serial number. I select that I have a serial number and enter the serial number provided by adobe. I then get a big red "x" next to the serial number and when I click next, the popup that appears says my serial number is invalid. How can that be since I am entering the one provided by adobe? Anybody else have this issue?

In my case adobe gave me a PC serial and I needed a Mac serial, they provided this later after some customer support contact

Mac OSX 10.6 Server setup advice

hi all, I was wondering if someone could offer some advise for the setup of a server on a home network.
Here is what I have and what I'm trying to achieve.
Link up 5 macs on a home network,
1 iMac 17" which will run mac server 10.6.8
1 iMac 24"
1 MacBook
2 MacBook Pros 15"
2 iPads
1 iPad 2 .
4/5 iPhones
via an Virgin media 50meg SuperHub connected to a Apple Airport extreme,
I idea I have is to use the older iMac as the server, providing basic file sharing, address book access and remote VPN .
I've installed the server software on the iMac but get a little stuck on the DNS setup side of things.
So far I researched my DNS to find I don't have a static ip and setup a basic service from DyDNS.
I understand that I will have to open the required ports on the superhub to setup the remote access.
I would be greatful is someone can offer some advice with a simlar setup or can point to basic setup guide.
Thanks in advance
Yaddle.

Hi John,
thanks for your advice, I have actually been using the two links you provided,
yet they both lack support for the home user, and all suggest that the users have a static ip address, but this is sadly not the case.
has anyone used . http://www.dyndns.com/about/home_solutions.html
Does anyone use this service at home for their server and which settings did they use ?
This would at least let me think Im working along the right lines.
Im getting stuck with the Primary DNS questions along the setup route from apple setup. : (
thanks again
Yaddle.

Can't Boot Up After Software Update -- Advice Appreciated.

Hi all,
I've experienced what seems to be a relatively common problem -- after installing the latest Tiger software update, my machine can't boot up. If I try to log in, it just freezes on the blue background screen. Holding 'shift' to enter Safe Mode just makes the computer shut down. I've tried the advice from Apple listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
I just got a variety of messages, all of which say effectively the same thing: 'Macintosh HD cannot be repaired.'
What can I do from here, bearing in mind I don't have an install disk. Is there anything I can do without it?
If I were to borrow a friend's Install Disk (they have Leopard), could I delete everything on my computer and re-install Leopard, and have it work? Or will the problems with my iMac carry over to a new installation?
(I suspected something was wrong the morning before my iMac was able to boot -- I was getting 'page in/page out' errors when I tried to extract .rar files, or move large files to an external HD, so thankfully I took the chance to make back-ups of everything).
Any hints or ideas would be unbelievably appreciated -- I'd hate to have to buy a new iMac (for the expense, not because I don't want a new one).

You can erase everything and start over, but you should Zero the Disk first, but also you need an Install Disc, you can buy Sno/10.6 online, for Leo/10.5 you have to call Apple, who may also supply you with a replacement disk for the original if you have your Serial# handy.
For other sources of Tiger/10.4, See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9755670&#9755670
You might try this a few times to see if you can fix your Disk...
Tough without a Tiger Disk, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(space between fsck and -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: ** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

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.

Software Update advice with wrong website address.

I've just received a Software Update notification, but the website given for obtaining further information appears to be wrong. After clicking it, I received the response "Document 307051 not found". The suggested search was also unsuccessful.
The updates offered were to Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6 and Quick Time.
I'm hoping that somebody from Apple may see this and sort out the problem, but I can't rely on that. Has anyone got advice for me as to how else to draw the matter to Apple's attention?

You didn't perchance ever visit a site that insisted you need a QT Player update to view Video did you? It intercepts some DNS requests & redirects, don't install it...
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
I think some IMs do this as well as Spammers/Scammers.
If you need updates, or think you might, either use Software Update, or better yet visit Apple>downloads.

Bcache setup advice wanted

Hello World
I have been tinkering with mine SDD-HDD setup with Bcache.
And i was wondering if i did it right ???
Mine Idea was to have a 90GB SDD for quick root access.
And use the rest of the SSD with Bcache to speedup files from the HDD.
Any advice or tweaks are welcome.. and if needed i can put mine whole install wikipage here. (VERY LARGE)
But its 100% SSH install friendly with copy and past commands
Here is a Bcache mounting part of mine private wikipage.
==== Mount the partitions ====
cd ~/
mkdir -p /mnt/install
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/install
mkdir -p /mnt/install/{boot,home,srv,data,var,mnt/.hdd}
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/install/boot
mount /dev/bcache0 /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd
mkdir -p /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/{home,srv,data,var}
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/home /mnt/install/home
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/srv /mnt/install/srv
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/data /mnt/install/data
mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/var /mnt/install/var
==== Bcache Check After mounting ====
Reason for /boot on the HDD is because of boot up failure because of HDD spin-up.
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 167.7G 0 disk
|-sda1 8:1 0 90G 0 part /mnt/install
`-sda2 8:2 0 77.7G 0 part
`-bcache0 253:0 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
|-sdb1 8:17 0 1G 0 part /mnt/install/boot
|-sdb2 8:18 0 16G 0 part [SWAP]
`-sdb3 8:19 0 1.8T 0 part
`-bcache0 253:0 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd
Here is mine Genfstab Part.
==== Generate an fstab ====
Generate an fstab file with the following command. UUIDs will be used because they have certain advantages.
genfstab -U -p /mnt/install >> /mnt/install/etc/fstab
sed -i '/dev\/sda/ s/rw,relatime,data=ordered/defaults,noatime,discard/g' /mnt/install/etc/fstab
sed -i '/mnt\/install/ {s/\/mnt\/install//g; s/rw,relatime,data=ordered/defaults/g; s/none/bind/g}' /mnt/install/etc/fstab
more /mnt/install/etc/fstab
Example:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda1
UUID=48b61847-ef90-4ac0-a9c7-ba8f64b575cb /    ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=9ebda53c-ae98-422b-83bb-b1af767a121e /boot    ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
# /dev/bcache0
UUID=c7e0d20a-f86b-4152-a29c-a41804fde7e9 /mnt/.hdd ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
# /mnt/.hdd/home

For one, forget the SoundBlaster Audigy. You're more likely to have more pain and heartache with it...
Most likely you are going to want to try the Ultragain on one of your optical interfaces. The Emu card says it supports optical ADAT and I believe your Event Ez8 does as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. If you're multitracking you would only get up to 10 tracks (or 12 if the spdif counts too) per record session (@44.1kHz or 48kHz) from the Emu+Ultragain, but that should be enough in most cases. With the Ez8 I think you only get 8 tracks. Since you can only use one ASIO driver at a time and there is probably no way to sync them, your best bet would be to use one PCI card (Emu) and leave the rest out of the system...
You may be able to use the EzBus as a MIDI controller, but you'd have to get advice from others on that one. I just never really use MIDI controllers in my setups. It would make a really nice 2 track interface for a laptop though...

Touch Screen software setup

Hi All,
We are trailling a couple of these touch screens within the company as a alternative computer and as a corporate environment we need to re-image the computers wth an enterprise version of the Vista x64 O/S. We can then create a standard image for use across multiple installations. I have managed to create an image but for some reason the TouchCreen software is not loading at all on the computer. I checked the setup and it all appears to be in please but the SmartCentre icon fails to do anything. I had to reverse engineer the installations as there was no support software from the website. What was provided was an upgrade to the existing installed software which is a bit pointless if you are starting from a clean standard O/S installation.
Is there a configuration file or some other control file that the software is looking for as I am at a loss?

do you have Windows Aero enabled?
