Suggestion? Running out of rearms (time) building large master Win7 image - Should I use KMS until capture?

I am building a Window 7 Ent master image containing 200+ engineering applications which will be deployed to 800+ systems. My problem is, I'm close to running out of activations and am now down to one rearm remaining. I have the option of using our
KMS server.
Question: Is it allowed that I point my non-domain member master Windows 7 image at our KMS server to activate the OS while I continue to install software up until the point I'm ready to shut down and capture my master image?
If perform the above-mentioned procedure do I leave the master image pointing at our KMS server during the capture process? Or, do I remove the settings from the registry? After the client is joined to the domain, a GPO points all clients to our KMS server
anyway.
Or does it not matter that I continue building my master build image, with one rearm left, leaving it prompt me that my Windows 7 Ent. copy "may be counterfeit".
Thanks for your time in advance!

Hi,
Yes, you can point a non-domain member master Windows 7 image at your KMS server to activate the OS, it should be done by Manually Specifying a KMS Host with a command:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793406.aspx
After the Windows 7 image is activated by the KMS, you can run this command with administrator permission to check the rearm time: Slmgr.vbs /dlv
Details about deploying KMS clients can also be found at :

C6380 Printer's always running out of ink. Is there a way to check printer use history?

c6380 printer always seem to run out of ink. Is there any way to check printer use history. No one owns up to using it much, but we also seem to run through paper. Maybe the pets are secretly using it?

Hi - This may not be exactly what you're looking for but the Extended Self-Test page does provide a page count. It doesn't give you a history of when pages were printed, but it will at least tell you have many pages have been printed overall.
Hope that helps.

If I have a new ipad should I use it until the battry runs out and then charge it... or first charge it for how much hours?

Here is some info on battery/charging for apple products.
~ They normally come 2/3 charged, so you would want to charge it right away if you want a 100% battery.
~ Keep it out of the sun because the sun will take away battery life.
- See link below for a lot of information on Apple products and batery life.

I will look around for more information on this.

Thanks so much. I downloaded Acrobat XI. It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi). Hope this is not a problem.

Running out of disk space -- remove larger items temporarily?

I am running out of drive space. I don't want to move my entire library to another drive.
What I'd like to do is temporarily remove larger items, such as TV episodes, after backing them up to another drive, or burning to a DVD-R.
And re-import select episodes only when I want to watch them.
Is it possible to do this, and if so, can it be done without toasting the artwork? I expect the artwork is not stored in the media file itself, so that could pose a problem.
Thanks!

There is a section in the "About Xcode Tools.pdf" file in your /Developer folder called "Uninstalling XCode 3.0 developer tools". You should have a look at that and choose which (how much) unstallation suits you - there are several different command-lines suggested in that document with different effects.

Am running out room on time capsule, options .... 2nd hardrive ?

Hi
Am running out room on 3 terabyte time capsule, options .... 2nd hardrive ?
I have my itunes running via the time capsule, use as a hardrive and the time capsule functionality, need more space, options ?
thank you

So you're using the Time Capsule for both Time Machine backups and music storage? This is really not a good idea. The best practice is to use the HDD used for backups exclusively for backups and nothing else. I suggest you purchase an additional HDD and move either the music or your backups to that HDD.

Where did you purchase the software from? Did it come in a box?
The Serial number is on the reverse of the disc case and not on the outside of the box. See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

I get prompts from time to time that large amounts of Mb are being used what is causing this?

I am getting prompts that my Mb usage is very high and I should close Firefox and open it again. Can you tell me what is causing this and how to prevent this in the future? Is it possible I need to "delete" Firefox and download it again? Thank you

There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

How large of an image should I be editing?

I have been doing a lot of residential real estate photography lately and working with hdr images that are composed of several (sometimes up to 9 exposures). The resulting tiff files are huge considering my camera is 22mp. The resulting tiff after combined in enfuse is 5616 × 3744 and about 160mb. My computer doesnt have a real hard time with these images but could be faster(obviously) if they were smaller. I know its better to work on the largest image possible but this is getting a little absurd. What is a good size to reduce my image to ? Should I reduce it to the largest format i will be giving the client, and then start work on it? Also what would be the prefered way to reduce the image size since i dont want to sharpen it at all(image processor?)?

If your usual format is predictable, like A4 or Letter size, then I would scale to about 1 to 2 times that size at 300 dpi and keep it RGB. If you want a 'good' pic but much smaller, then save as jpg at the second highest quality setting. If you are going to do this then you should archive your originals on DVD or whatever you have and work using the reduced ones with the big archive versions kept for safety.
If you are going to do this, you can do perfectly good real estate quality print with a 25 Meg psd to A4+ or a jpg of the same thing can be a couple of meg, and if handled intelligently, can be indistinguishable from the big file in offset print. Note, I am not talking boutique printing here, but I know how it can be if you have 200 standard catalogue product shots to manipulate on modest equipment. Your workflow needs to be good though and your adjustments and conversions need to be done right.

Prepaid cell phone suggestion.... time that never runs out.

when I pay for air time for the phone, it should not run out. if it takes me 2 months or 12 months to use up the time it should not matter. it's MY time, I paid for it. I should not have to spend more money to keep the phone running if it has time on it still.
money is tight, I put 15 bucks a month on the phone only to keep it active... but never use all the time up each month. but im forced to add 15 bucks each month to prevent the phone from being shut off. this is not right in my view. if I buy airtime, I should be able to use it all before the phone is shut off. I paid for it.

I pay monthly to use 700 minutes, and I NEVER use that many. Why should I have to keep paying each month if I don't use the minutes? Shouldn't I be able to start paying my monthly bill again when I use up all my minutes?
Sounds silly from someone else, doesn't it? Because it's a silly idea. You pay for a service, whether you prepay or postpay - it's the same service.

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

Mavericks Mail Kernel System Has Run Out of Application Memory

I have a new Mavericks late 2013 MBP. When I got the computer, I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my late 2008 MacBook to the new MBP. Now when I launch Mail, my memory use skyrockets and within a minute or so, I get a "run out of application memory" error message. Soon after the computer stops working until I reboot. Activity Monitor shows Memory Pressure at its redline max, Virtual Memory at about 70 GB, Swap Used 20 GB, Compressed 10 MB. The processes using all the memory are kernel-task 10 GB and mds_stores 5 GB. However, Spotlight is fully indexed and mds is inactive until I launch Mail.
Interestingly, it happens even if I quit Mail immediately after launching it - the Mail window doesn't even need to open; the memory ust still climbs. But it only happens with Mail; all other applications work fine. Also, it does not happen if I boot in Safe Mode or if I log in using a different user account.
I have spend many hours on the phone with the Apple tech guys, they sent log files to Apple engineering, and none can figure this out. Their solution is to work around by creating a new user and transfer files over - not an elegant solution...
I ran the diagnostic suggested by Link Davis; results copied below. I also ran the Etresoft diagnostic both before and after launching Mail. Results also copied below.
I am guessing that a 3rd party application in my user area causes Spotlight to loose control, when Mail is launched, perhaps trying to index 10,000 emails, but I really have no idea!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Have you looked into Activity Monitor utility to see what system resources exist and how they are being allocated to applications, the OS X, and other background functions?
You could boot in SafeBoot (shift key held through startup) and run Disk Utility> repair disk permissions. That can tell you a few things about your hard disk drive, capacities, and it may not hurt to repair disk permissions. Restart normally when done.
Or try & boot from the Install DVD and use the version of Disk Utility in there to attempt to 'repair disk' while the HDD is unmounted. Then choose Startup manager to boot from the HDD and ignore the DVD on a restart.
Is your computer as listed, a PowerPC (pre-intel architecture)
Apple product, with a G4/G5 CPU from before 2006? If so,
a host could move the discussion from this Intel area.
Without more information, a failure of traction results from speculation.
Is your computer still running OS X 10.5.3, or is that 10.5.8+ now?
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I avoid running out of memory when creating components dynamically

Hello everyone,
Recently, I am planning to design a web application. It will be used by all middle school teachers in a region to make examination papers and it must contain the following main functions.
1)Generate test questions dynamically. For instance, a teacher who logs on the web application will only see a select one menu and a Next Quiz button. The former is used for determining the number of options for the current multiple/single choice question. The later is dedicated to creating appropriate input text elements according to the selected option number. That is to say, if the teacher selects 4 in the menu and presses the Next Quiz button, 5 input text form elements will appear. The first one is for the question to be asked such as "1.What is the biggest planet in the solar system?", the others are optional answers like a)Uranus. b) Saturn. c)Jupiter. d)Earch. Each answer stands for an input text elements. When the teacher fills in the fourth answer, another select one menu and Next Quiz button will emerge on the fly just under this answer, allowing the teacher to make the second question. The same thing repeats for the following questions.
2)Undo and Redo. Whenever a teacher wants to roll back or redo what he has done, just press the Undo or[i] Redo button. In the previous example, if the teacher selects the third answer and presses the Delete button to drop this answer, it will delete both the literal string content[i] and the input text element, changing the answer d to c automatically. After that, he decides to get back the original answer c, Jupiter, he can just click the Undo button as if he hadn�ft made the deleting operation.
3)Save the unfinished working in the client side. If a teacher has done half of his work, he can choose to press the Save button to store what he has done in his computer. The reason for doing so is simply to alleviate the burden of the server. Although all finished test papers must be saved in a database on the server, sometimes the unfinished papers could be dropped forever or could form the ultimate testing papers after several months. So if these papers keep in the server, it will waste the server computer�fs room. Next time the teacher can press the Restore button on the page to get the previously stored part of the test paper from his own computer and continue to finish the whole paper.
4)Allow at least 1,000 teachers to make test papers at the same time. The maximum question number per examination paper is 60.
Here are my two rough solutions,
A.Using JSF.
B.Using JavaScript and plain JSP[b] without JSF.
The comparison of the two solutions:
1)Both schemas can implement the first and the second requirements. In JSF page I could add a standard panelGird tag and use its binding attribute. In the backing bean, the method specified by the binding attribute is responsible for generating HtmlInput objects and adding them to the HtmlPanelGird object on the fly. Every HtmlInput object is corresponding to a question subject or an optional answer. The method is called by an actionListener, which is registered in the Next Quiz commandButton, triggering by the clicking on this button in the client side. Using JSF can also be prone to managing the HtmlInput objects, e.g. panelGird.getChildren().add(HtmlInput) and panelGird.getChildren().remove(HtmlInput) respond to the undoing operation of deleting an optional answer and the redoing operation of the deleting action respectively. I know JavaScript can also achieve these goals. It could be more complex since I don�ft know well about JavaScript.
2)I can not find a way to meet the third demand right now. I am eager to know your suggestion.
3)Using JSF, I think, can�ft allow 1,000 teachers to do their own papers at the same time. Because in this scenario, suppose each questionnaire having 60 questions and 4 answers per question, there will be approximately 300,000 HtmlInput objects (1,000X60X(4+1)) creating on the server side. The server must run out of memory undoubtedly. To make things better, we can use a custom component which can be rendered as a whole question including its all optional answers. That is to say, a new custom component on the server side stands for a whole question on the client side. Even so, about 60,000(1,000X60) this type of custom components will be created progressively and dynamically, plus other UISelectOne and UICommand objects, it also can�ft afford for most servers. Do I have to use JavaScript to avoid occupying the server's memory in this way? If so, I have to go back and use JavaScript and plain JSP without JSF.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.

Keep getting the 'system has run out of application memory' window, what to do?

I'm running a mid 2010 MacBook with 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and OS X 10.9.5. Every time I'm on Safari I get the 'System has run out of application memory' window and it asks you to quit out of programs you're not using. The problem is sometimes the only things running are Safari and Finder. It'll then freeze up programs and prevent web pages from loading or showing up. I'm not quite sure what this means or how to go about fixing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Meghan,
If you are seeing that alert that you are running out of application memory then I would take a look at using Activity Monitor to see how the memory is being used. If it looks normal usage to you, then you may want to upgrade the memory on your Mac. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Iphone 4's battery runs out in 2 hours after connecting to Exchange 2003

Hi,
Ever since I connected my iphone to Exchange 2003, the battery runs out 3-4 times as fast. It looks like it's constantly polling the server for new mai and also the phones appears to run hotter than before. Is there any parameter I can tweak to fix this?
I'm running IOS 5 on iPhone 4.
Thanks,
Guy

My battery on my iphone 4 was draining in a few hours and turning hot while not doing anything (idling).
I downloaded lAssistant (with an L not an i) and noticed that before i deleted my hotmail account, the activity of the CPU while my iphone 4 was not doing anything, was 35-40% while AFTER i deleted my hotmail account the activity dropped to 4% and the battery returned tom normal drain.
My Iphone 4 returned to normal operation after
1. removing my Hotmail account from settings->mail,contacts->accounts->(choose hotmail account) Delete Account,
2. turning off my iphone 4
3. turning on my iphone 4
4. Re-adding my Hotmail account
The battery has STOPPED draining and getting hot.
