This is what I think of networking right about now: akjd'k;dsdaadfjkd.

Ok, I'll keep this short and sweet. I've a Mac mini, my parents have a Dell laptop. Both have wireless, so I figured I'd make a computer-to-computer network. Great. So I did, and at first, ONLY the Windows computer could see my Mac and open it's files and such. Then something happened on my Mac and I could open the files on the Windows. Then for some reason the Windows restarted... now I can't open the files on the Windows machine anymore. Help please.

I am going to assume that your Windows computer is running either XP Home or Vista, but not a "Pro" version. What happens when your mac searches for other computers using "windows networking" is that your computer looks to find the computer responsible for the "browser" service.
In a typical home scenario, both your mac (using samba) and the Dell are going to send out some messages saying "let's have an election to see which of us is responsible for running the browser service".
If for some reason the computers do not see the other's election request, then they both think they are the workgroup browser, and this can lead to a situation like you describe.
One way to force the Dell to be the workgroup browser, and possibly solve you problem, is to open /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access
Click the lock if necessary in Directory Access, then select SMB/CIFS from the Services tab. Click Configure, then make sure that the workgroup name is the same as on your PC (default is WORKGROUP) and that the IP address of the WINS Server is the address of your dell.
If you have DHCP setup on both machines, this is going to be a pain because you will have to do this every time your computers restart. You can remedy that to some extent by assigning your computers to use DHCP with a manual address. On the mac side, it is easier because you can use the "Locations" feature to create a network setup for "Home". I haven't found a reliable way of doing this on the PC, but as long as the Dell stays at home, you won't have to change to much.

What does "it" mean? Are you referring to Apple's mail application? The best you could do there is find the message in your junk mailbox and click the "not junk" button on top. Otherwise, it depends completely on your email provider.

Disk Utility Says System RAID Degraded - Does this mean what I think it is?

Hi All
I have a Mirrored RAID Set for my System Drive - being two 931.5 GB Hitachi Drives. This Mirrored RAID Set I have called System RAID. If I click on the RAID Slice in the Disk Utility it says that the "System RAID" is Degraded, and under this [tabbed in] it says 931.2 GB - RAID Slice (disk0s2) Failed with the other under that saying 931.2 GB - RAID Slice (disk1s2) with no comment it has failed [obviously].
So if this essentially means my the first drive in my RAID set has failed then I will lose all data if the second fails also, is this correct?
So what should my next step be? Should I shut down the machine until I can purchase a spare drive to replace the currently damaged one? AND most importantly, HOW do I replace the drive and have it rebuild as the new second drive without erasing / losing data - IE what is the protocol now??
Please your immediate assistance is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
OH and AHH I've just seen in System Profiler that a 2 GB RAM chip appears to have failed
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 4:

Status: ECC Errors
ECC Correctable Errors: 1
Manufacturer: 0x7F61

What is going on!!

Hi Kappy<
I am trying to migrate user data from a RAID - 1 slice from my old PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11 to my new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.4 by reading a mirror RAID slice from my old Mac that is mounted in an external drive enclosure and connected by FireWire.
The problem is that the new Mac cannot read the old Mac disk, it never shows up on the desktop, or comes up as available when trying to use Migration Assistant. Then, if I go into Disk Utility, the external RAID slice shows up briefly with a locked yellow padlock beside it, then I suddenly get the window shade of death, and have to hold down the power button to reset/restart my MacBook.
Why can my new computer not read my old computers disk, and how can I change permissions, or make the old drive readable by the new mac.
Regrettably I am away from the original Desktop, and cannot load the old drive back into it, connect the two machines and migrate that way. My only option for reaching my necessary data is to retrieve it off the drive I have with me.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

What I think I've learned about resource allocation & disk management. Check my work?

Based on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4603182, it seems that getting a separate eSATA drive to use as a cache drive would be a good decision and the single upgrade I could make that would make the most difference.
Here is my current drive setup and my ideas about resource management:
OS Drive: programs only, no Windows page file or media, etc.
Video Drive: for all my imported/transferred my video files (also see "Audio Drive" below)
Pix Drive: for all my still pix
Audio Drive: for any dual system audio, narration, and maybe even the embedded/recorded audio files from the imported/transferred video.
Sampler Drive (doesn't count except for Windows page file)
It appears to me that I should get an 7200rpm eSATA drive to use exclusively as a cache drive and keep my current allocations until I con reconfigure things for even more efficiency.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I think it highly unlikely that adding a 6th drive could make "the most difference" in your current rig.
And, to comment on how to help your current setup, we need a LOT more into to provide the best suggestions.
Please tell us about:
- current hardware (cpu, RAM, drive models and capacities, GPU)
- what version of Premiere Pro? (the hardware needs have changed subtly in recent years)
- what media are you editing? single or multiple layers? any 3rd party filters?
- what are your current bottlenecks (i.e. timeline stutters, render outputs to Blu-ray, etc.)

Jim

What are you listening to right now?

So, let's kick this place off. Remember this is the off topic thread so try to keep discussions on phones in it's dedicated threads and not here.
I am thinking music for this thread - what are you listening to right now? It doesn't have to be right NOW. It could also be the album or artist you've been playing non-stop for the last week.
Me? Mastodon released their new album recently. It's called The Hunter. Great album!

you know what i was thinking the same..i was going to make a thread as off topics only but thought no one would participate
i just listened to the track you mentioned..
awesome guitar play
but i used to listen to this genre back in may i think
now i love to listen to these songs
like i love you - rio
love you like a - selena gomez

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I can't get new mail. This is what i'm getting: This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?

10.8.4, created a new account to basicall get the MS Exchange email working because the old email under the other account is again SNAFU.
Same Stuff, Different Day. A perinal Apple defect as it never has worked right. The irony is that an open source clunky Java solution called DAVMail is more stable and reliable than the professional Mail app for providing MS Exchange compatibility. The lesson learned is that Apple's MS Exchange Mail.app compatiblity stinks on ice.
Google DAVMail. You have to load Java :-( but it works better than Apple's native implementation.

Hey, Jeff...
I don't know how I could have made my question any more clear -- so let me try approaching it the other way around, and refer back to your answer(s).
You've been responding by saying that it's okay for me to remove the Creative Cloud versions of my software, but I don't have any Creative Cloud versions installed! I'm not talking about that at all, I'm talking about the software for Creative Cloud itself -- I don't use it, I don't need it, I don't want it, and all it does is nag me, telling me that there's updates for it (Creative Cloud). I have the full Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard bought and paid for, I have no reason nor need to "rent" any later versions, I'm just talking about the Creative Cloud software itself that got installed on my system when I installed that suite of programs.
Like I said, I don't use Creative Cloud at all -- all it does is "nag" me, and eat up space on my hard drive. When I go in my Windows Control Panel and look at my list of installed programs, there it is -- "Adobe Creative Suite" -- and it's listed separately from "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard" (of which I've only installed Photoshop, Acrobat and InDesign, basically, as those are the only programs I use at all at the moment). Can I just uninstall "Adobe Creative Suite" without it affecting "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard", i.e. my Photoshop, etc. will still work just fine, and I can still get updates and stuff? And by "updates" I don't mean get later versions of Photoshop, etc., I just mean any possible updates to the software that I do already have (that comes with Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard).
I hope that makes my question a little more clear?

This is what I think of networking right about now: akjd'k;dsdaadfjkd.
