Third party software question

I have been a Norton Utilities, Antivirus user. I am looking into replacing this as Symantec has stopped supporting MAC platform, I'd like to know what programs out there you may like or dislike and a little about why?
I'd like to find something that is somewhat the equivalent to the bundle I had in NU, I found it easy to use and to manage having antivirus run in the background checking things I also made use of the parental controls.
If you have a moment and share your opinions and experience with me could you please mention whether you noticed any negative interactions after loading your preferred choice on your systems.
I appreciate your input thank you.
Best wishes for a good week to you all.

Hi, Jenifer. Without antivirus software, a PC user will never know where any of the malware that endlessly afflicts him or her has come from, or whether any of it could have come from you — s/he will just know that s/he's up to h/h eyeballs in it at all times.
I've owned and relied heavily on every version of DiskWarrior since its introduction except the latest (v. 4), which I don't need yet. I consider DW the second-best investment in peace of mind that any Mac user can make, after a backup hard drive. 98-99% of the software-based problems I've ever encountered on my Macs are resolved by DiskWarrior and/or Apple's own Disk Utility, plus MacJanitor and Onyx.
I also own two older versions of TechTool Pro, which were very useful on some of my older Macs for hardware testing. I haven't updated TTP for several years, because my Powerbook came with an Apple HardWare Test CD, and the AppleCare Extended Protection Plan I bought for it came with a TechTool Deluxe CD: a subset of TTP. Between those two diagnostic tools, I figure I'm pretty well set for hardware testing capabilities and don't need TTP any more. If I didn't have TTD, I would upgrade TTP.
Throughout the 1990s I also had and used Norton Utilities, ending with v. 5. DiskWarrior completely replaced Norton Disk Doctor as soon as I bought DW, and now OS X itself automatically defragments all files smaller than 20MB. On an old desktop Mac that runs OS 8.6 and 9.1, I use Alsoft's PlusOptimizer instead of Norton Speed Disk. I keep my Norton CD in case I ever need to recover any trashed files from an old Mac with Norton UnErase. But everything stored on my old machines is so redundantly backed up that I haven't needed to use Unerase in about ten years, and I should probably just throw the Norton CD away. NU is no longer installed on any of my Macs, and I'll probably never use any part of it again. You shouldn't either.

Hi johan,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to know how install a third-party software on an external
harddisk or usb and then run this software from there. Regarding this issue, I suggest that you should contact with the third-party software support and confirm it. Since most programs use windows registry entries, and may rely on some .dll files. If all relevant
auxiliary files and configurations of this software were installed in one directory tree, you may be able to install and run it on an external harddisk or usb.
Hope this helps.

Suggestion for Apple or Third-party software company?

My first question is, where should I post the following suggestion for an improvement in FCP or for the creation of a third party software – suggested sites, blogs, etc.?
Next, my recommendation, and then my explanation of the reason why (including my personal semi-disaster):
Recommendation: That someone create a “Project Management” software for FCP (essentially a file management program that runs in the background) that organizes and tracks all of the files created during editing/post production – including the log/capture or log/transfer of the original footage, the audio files, stills, effects, etc, AND all of the files created by the program -- Live Type, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, and Color (especially color). The reason for this is that FCP has an incredibly complicated filing system that results in shots, files, documents, etc., being distributed all over the place – and not all known to the filmmaker or identified in the documentation. And, that condition can lead to disaster – see below.
Explanation: I just finished my first HD project using Studio 2, including sound track pro and color. After completing what I though was the absolute final version, I burned a one-off DVD and ran it by several filmmaker and non-film maker friends. They all spotted a small sound problem with one cut, so I went back to tweak it – and discovered that ALL of the footage had gone offline. I had nothing, nada, zilch. I had saved earlier sequences (rough cut, polished cut, etc.) and all the original footage appeared, but I had taken the final version into color for some corrections and adjustments, and ALL of those shots/files were missing.
After burning what I believed to be the final cut, I had cleaned up my hard disk, moving stuff to my backup hard disk, to my RAID array, and to the trash. So, after the initial shock and complete panic, several hours of searching all of these drives, led me to the file that contained the files that contained the color corrections – in my trash, which fortunately had not been emptied. I have no idea where the files were before or how they got into the trash – obviously they were not added to the scratch disk with all of the original footage.
Part of the difficulty of finding the shots was the discovery that color creates a file folder, that holds a set of file folders, each of which holds only one shot. In order to reconnect, I had to move the parent folder to the desktop, and then move all of the shots, one at a time. into a single folder, and then point reconnect to that folder. Problem solved.
However, now I face that question of archiving the project, moving all of the files off my hard drive so I can use the space for my next film, and I am terrified that I will leave something out, and not be able to recover the project in the future. Having a project management software that organizes and coordinates all of that would be a lifesaver – and well worth the purchase price.
Anyone who would like to explore this idea, please feel free to contact me – [email protected].

You've just learned a hard lesson. Put your current energy into your education, not finding a way to wallow in ignorance.
There already is a hardware device that will do what you want. It's called a "manual". In particular, the sections that relate to "where the program stores media". Pay very close attention to those sections and set up your computer so that all the scratch and storage pointers are aimed where you want. It's very simple to have them all go to one drive.
Then, when it's time to archive the project because you are starting a new project, just purchase another hard drive for the new project. They are absurdly inexpensive these days.
Remove the drive with your project to be archived from your computer (since you now know how to keep all the files organized, they will be all together) - and plug in a new disk for the next project.
If you want a backup, use carbon copy cloner to simply duplicate the drive (or simply just copy the relevant folders- you'll know which ones) to another drive (or get a RAID 1 device)
good luck,

How to publish pages made in third party software

On my "homepage" websites I can upload html pages created by third party software (Adobe GoLive CS2 in my case) onto my .Mac sites.
I can't find anything in iWeb about publishing custom-made webpages in iWeb and/or on the iWeb. Is this possible with iWeb? Or do I have to stick with the old way of doing things (creating new .Mac sites online and uploading my custom pages there)?

Well, I half-answered my own question here. I went into my iDisk folder, went to Web, Sites, iWeb, then chose the site I had created and put my own custom-built html page there. It uploaded automatically and now I can access it via the web without a problem. It shows up the way it's supposed to look as well.
So basically I can load them up, but there's not a way for me to fully integrate them with the other iWeb pages on that site. My custom page does not appear in the iWeb application under the site name, I can't add web counters to it, etc...

ERROR in Opening and RUNNING. EXE and .RAR files of Third Party softwarea

Hello,
I downloaded third party softwares having .EXE and .RAR file extension. But none of these files open up and
I can NOT RUN them and install them on my WINDOWS 7 System.
It is possible , some of the associations of these files might have been missing or may have been damaged earlier by any Virus . At moments my system is Virus-Free and clean. Even downloaded Third Party softwares are Virus-Free and clean
as shown by my Anti-Virus software
Can any body help me to fix up these issues , or to RESTORE .EXE and .RAR file extentions , so that I can RUN and install these Third party softwares on my PC
My EMail ID : [email protected]
Thanks,
Shashikant

Hi,
What do you mean by saying "to RESTORE .EXE and .RAR file extentions " here?
Any applications(or softwares) that with .EXE extention could not be run on your PC or only related to some specific application?
Please take a look at the KB below:
Can't open .EXE files in Windows 7 or Windows Vista
Regarding .rar files, we might need some 3rd party tools to extract them and then take the install option.
Hope this may help

When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall? Is it necessary on a Mac to do so? I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

Correct. I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc. I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac. HTC will not synch with it otherwise. That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac. In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur.
Thanks.

Integration between third party software and SAP

Hi all,
I have requirement in which i have to integrate SAP with third party software. My third party software will be generating material no as we generate in SAP then after the generation of the Material No by the third party software again i have to pull the material no generated and corresponding information into SAP .Please tell me how to do this as i am new to these concepts and if possible please send links from where i can download study materials.
Thanks and Regards
Manu.

Hello Manvendra,
There are many approches for solving this integration issue:
But before solving this issue there are few questions which need to be known:
1. In what form the material no list is generated? i.e. some flat file, in database table, or shared memory
2. What is the language for 3rd party software? C, Java, .Net etc
3. What is the frequency of material number generation? i.e. is it on demand, batch processing etc
Considering 3rd party software is generating flat file or csv files for material number we can have this integration in
following way:
1. Save file at particular location.
2. You can configure logical path in FILE transaction
3. Write ABAP report to read that file using logical path and file name.
     Refer following link for Link: [logical path creation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/content.htm]
4. Read file into internal table using Link: [GUI_UPLOAD|http://saplab.blogspot.com/2007/10/sample-abap-program-to-upload-table.html].
5. Create BDC recording for MM01 transaction for material creation using Link: [SHDB|http://abaplovers.blogspot.com/2008/02/recording-bdc-using-transaction-shdb.html] transaction code.
6. Using data from internal table and BDC recording create all the materials in SAP systems.
    In this step you need to loop at internal table and fill data variables in BDC recording with the internal table data
    and call the transaction MM01 for creating material.
Above steps are very high level guidelines and it is one way of integration but concept wise more or less integration will be in same way!
You can definetly fine tune it by exploring SAP help!
Enjoy SAP!
Thanks,
Augustin.

Third Party Software vs. RSC

My company is in the process of researching and selecting
software for version control. I think they are considering PVCS or
Rational ClearCase. This software would be used for software
development and possibly for RoboHelp also. Does anyone know how
these tools (or others) work with RH? What questions should we
consider when integrating this software with RH? Any problems to
anticipate? Does anyone have experience using third-party software
for version control with RH? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
All the best,
RichD

Yes, it does sound like it should work, doesn't it? Even so,
back when I checked, RH and ClearCase each said that they didn't
support the other. My personal experience agrees with this. Trying
to check in a multi-layered project (folders and subfolders) into
ClearCase was an ugly proposition, and it got worse the larger the
project became. Furthermore, as I had to put RH output files into
ClearCase, too, there were files that RH generated that ClearCase
flat out refused to accept because the line length was too long. We
were able to nurse the whole thing along for a while, but our
ClearCase IT folks were just as glad as we writers were when we
stopped using ClearCase for the help.
And don't even *think* about working directly out of
ClearCase in the same way you'd use RSC!
However, as I said, this is not current info. It may be that
RH7 and newer versions of ClearCase will be more compatible. But we
followed the same logic as you, and found out that not all SCC
implementation is the same.

Third party software for scom dashboard

Hi guys,
Not sure it is possible or can be done. Is there any third party software or plug in I can find for scom 2012 dashboard? It is fine if we have to pay for it.
I had created a dashboard for operators to monitor systems which included alerts, performance, and instance details; however, they don't like it and want to look for third party solutions.
Another question is that how I can put "Ping Status" into the dashboard, whcih I created. Maybe that is the reason operators don't like it.....Please help and thanks.

There are many plug-in for SCOM 2012 Dashboard

How to link third party software with labview program ?

I have designed a labview
program to analyse and make
graph and save the datas
from the photon counter using
ni USB DAQ 6008. And the
photon counter is controlled
by the third party software with
itself. both programs are
executing successfully. But
my task is run both the
program at the same time. i.e.
link the third party software
with my labview program.
How to i do this?

Your question is too vague since you give no information as to this third party application. Is it an application you wrote? Is it an application that you cannot change? Does it have a programming interface? Can you eliminate this third-party application and control the photon counter yourself? Have you tried to do a search, as this question has come up before many times. For example:

Unable to link Jtext field with third party software.

Hi pals,
I am stuck in a problem which is as follows:
"I have one third party software (lightspeed) which helps one to link it to any application. Here I am able to link this app with the text field of google.com opened in a browser or in a java frame. Now whenever I type something in the text field of this app(lightspeed) and press enter, it forwards the same text to google's text field, which is working as expected. Now there is twist, whenever I link any java's textField to this app, it fails."
Now some questions which raise in my mind are:
1) Is it due to the security constraints in java?
2) Or somewhere the sockets are no been able to connect?
Guys, please help. My need is just to link this app to the jTextField.
I will be really thankful to you.
Please Help!

Thanks for the reply PhHein. But there may be one of the case:
1) Due to some security constraint java is not accepting third party (or say untrusted ) data.Unlikely
2) It is obvious that app is using sockets, so socket failure might be case. If yes, is there any way to track it?No way to tell without seeing stack traces or errror messages.

Extraction with third party software and SAP

I am new to BI, and I have some doubts in data extraction.
Suppose I have different source systems (Third party softwares) how do I connect to my BI system for my extractions. Is this our job to connect all the source systems for extraction or ?
I regret if something is wrong with my question.

How to streaming data/image from labview to a third party software

Hi, i am working on a research project and stuck on the following problem: I have two cameras and one IMU Sensor unit, all conected to my PC. I save the camera images as avi format and the IMU sensor as TDMS format. I have also another software running on the same PC which i developed using VisualStudio2013. On this software i alredy implemented a very complex filter to fuse images and IMU. Now my quesion: would be it possibel to stream the .avi and .tdms from LabView to my software so I can test in real time how my filter is performing? If yes please let me know what LabView function do i have to use. thanks

Thanks, the hardware are my PC, 2 usb cameras and one usb-IMU sensor. The PC runs w7 with LabView2014. I can read the camera and IMU to my Laview without any problem and save the data on my hard desk. I am also developing another software on VS-C++ for image processing and data fusion. I would like to know what is the best (and fastest) possibility to stream this data (Images and IMU) in real time from LabView to my own software?
I read a lot in NI-website on how to communicate LabView with a third party software. They are summarized in this link:
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-9131
It looks for me that the ‘shard memory’ principle (or File Mapping) is the most convenient method. In VC++ under windows I can easily handle shared memory by calling FileMapping windows functions. Now the question is how can I do that in LabView? I am relatively new in LabView and do not know if it is possible to use shared memory in LabView. For example: is it possible in LabView to buffer both video streams and IMU-data (live) in a shared memory in computer RAM using the windows FileMaping functions (may be using .dll). Then I can access the RAM form my own software and read the stream. Please see the attachment for more description.

Burning a Premiere CS5.5 project using third party software

HI All. Maybe you can help me. I have just spent a few days creating a promotional video, a pretty simple one using audio from SonicFire, transions and titles from the title maker in Premiere. No fancy stuff from Adobe After Effects, only Premiere Pro CS5.5. It is under six minutes long. I sent it to Encore using the dynamic link like I usually do, clicked the Build button and it started. A moment later it told me "Encode Failed". I have no idea why and it seems after scouring the forum, no one else does either. Could be anything they say and then a bunch of grumbling about poor support. I agree. Anyway, someone mentioned third party software to burn the project with, but I have not been able to find anything that says there software is compatible with Premiere. I really don't want to have to go back and do the whole thing again, hours and hours and hours. This is the first time this has happened and the first project that I really, truley wanted to burn to a dvd as it is a promotional video of an invention of mine that I want to market. It is perfect on the project monitor and plays just like I would like it to play on a DVD, but DAAAAA! What am I to do? I even thought of videoing the project window with my camera, but I don't think that would look very good. Can anyone give me a hand here. Spark, on the coast in Northern California. I will send a pre-appreciation to anyone who can help. Thanks

Thanks you Ann. I have review the link and have answered the
questions that it suggests. I hope this helps you help me. Have patience.
I’m using Premiere Pro with all updates up to date.
I’m using Windows 7 64bit.
All the footage is from a Panasonic PV GS36 mini DV camcorder. Just a
little $300 one and whatever codecs that are involved with that.
Full text of error message is: “Encode Fail”
When the problem occurred I was trying to burn it to a DVD using Encore
5.1.0.342 version.
I’ve only burned several projects to DVD, but it has always worked before.
I have never created such a complicated project with so many clips and
transitions and titles. Three video tracks and three audio tracks. The
audio is royalty free music from Sonicfire Pro5.
I have all kinds of software on my computer, Cyberlink, Kodak, LG, Paragon,
Smartsound and on and on.
No third party effects or anything like that that I know of.
Whe I look under General/Scratch Disks, the Mercury playback engine is
grayed out in the general window, so I don’t know if I’m using it or not.
The project plays just as it should in the project window.
These are the answers to the questions that I found on the link that Ann
sent me. So if there are any other questions I will be happy to research
them and get back to you with the best answers I can come up with. I’m
coming direct from Premiere 6.0 to Pro CS5.5 and I’m old and slow with a
slipping memory, but I wan to learn this. And please don’t tell me that I
should hire a professional. I don’t need to hear that. Totally
unproductive. Thanks for your efforts so far. Spark
