Using Multiple OS's

I am about to receive my new MacBook Pro C2D.
I am planning to run WindowsXP on it.
I am mainly going to be using OSX though, so I was thinking, the best option for me, is to probably partition my HDD so that it's approx:
30Gb Windows NTFS
70Gb MacOSX (is it GUID or JFS or something??)
And then run MacDrive software on Windows so I can keep all my data on the Mac Partition, and access it through MacDisk in Windows...
The other option is... I could format the Windows Partition FAT32, and solve all in-compatability issues, but I worry if I do this I'll end up kicking myself later, as FAT32 s*cks big b*lls.

One thing you might consider is running a Parallels Virtual machine. You'd have to purchase the Parallels Desktop for Mac software and a copy of Windows, but it's more flexible in that you can run any version you want. Parallels lets you set up a shared folder on your Mac that can be read by the VM so you don't have to worry about data sharing programs either.
If all you're going to do is desktop apps then Boot Camp is kind of an inconvenience. It's only really necessary if you want to game or use applications like Photoshop or other graphically intensive operations.
Hope this helps.

How do I use multiple addresses at one time?

Shouldn't the Adobe server page that allows for the entry of a recipients address tell users how to add another address? Do we separate them with semicolons? Commas? Or is it even possible to use multiple addresses?

Yes, Adobe Send.
Unfortunately, it is NOT spelled out on the page where you enter email addresses of recipients, nor is it revealed if you click on the question mark box by email address.

How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro. When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2. However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first). (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library. Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.) How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
zpockets

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

How do I use multiple librarys to organize my projects

Is there a way to use multiple libraries to organize my projects. I don't like having all my projects in one library. I'd like separate libraries for Family_Movies, BirthdaysandHolidays, Vacations, etc...
Thanks.

You can create multiple folders in your Project Library. I have a folder for each year. Then within the year, if I make several videos on one subject (say a trip to Europe) I will create sub folders within the year.
There is no limitation on what you name your Folders, so you could name them Family Movies, Vacations, Birthdays, etc.
When you are in the Project Library View, you can click FILE/NEW FOLDER. For a subfolder, click on the parent folder and then click New Folder.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Using multiple 'and' conditions in a SQL query

Is it possible to reduce the SQL required to query using multiple 'and' conditions, e.g. I have a query like the following:
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and stat.personal_details = 'C'
and stat.further_details = 'C'
and stat.education = 'C'
and stat.employment = 'C'
and stat.personal_statement = 'C'
and stat.choices = 'C'
and stat.reference = 'C'
and stat.student_finance = 'C'
Is there a way, to reduce all the multiple 'and' queries, to be read from say one line? If you know what I mean.......

Ah, Ok this looks nice, thanks very much. It doesn't quite run as is because the stat.amount_paid query value is 'is null', while the others are 'C'. I tried amending the relevant line to various versions of the following:-
in (select 'is null' 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
which doesn't work.
I can get the following to work so I am assuming that the it is not possible to use different query values within the brackets of the 'in (select....' statement?
select stat.personal_id, appt.username, appt.password, apps.rgn_apt_id, apps.apy_apn_id
from apy_ast_application_status stat, rgn_usr_user appt, rgn_aps_applications apps
where stat.apy_apn_id = apps.rgn_apt_id
and apps.rgn_apt_id = appt.rgn_apt_id
and stat.application_completed is null
and stat.application_started_date > '01-MAY-11'
and stat.amount_paid is null
and (stat.personal_details, stat.further_details, stat.education,
stat.employment, stat.personal_statement, stat.choices, stat.reference, stat.student_finance)
in (select 'C','C','C','C','C','C','C','C' from dual)
Thanks for everybodys help - the suggested alternatives seem so much more elegant

How do I use multiple VPP accounts in a school system with 1 Profile manager server?

I have 40 schools with their own money they want to spend on apps. I need these accounts to be seperate. We are registered in the Device enrollment program and are using Apple's profile manager to distribute VPP apps. In the DEP website you can add existing vpp admins. I had hoped when these accounts purchased apps, the apps would show up in Profile Manager which uses the master Apple ID, but this didn't happen. Anyone know what the correct process is for doing this?

If you haven't found the answer: You have to install the correct token for each account. Apple Servers, as far as I know, do not support using multiple tokens at once. As a result, you will have to swap out each of the 40 tokens anytime anyone wants to buy something then assign it to a user then push the app.
Or just buy it with a redemption code and give that code to your users.

New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
Thanks!

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
Any pointers/links would be appreciated.
Gaff

Hi Vetsrini :
That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.

Can you access/use multiple apple ID's on one device?

Hello,
In our family we have been registering everything (ipods, iphones and computers) all under one apple id. We have made purchases with the family apple id which we have been accessing on multiple devices. With everyones different needs I am wondering about setting up new apple id's for different family members. Can I use multiple apple id's on devices like my iPhone and still access apps/books/music purchased on the family apple id's and if so how do I do this.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Why do you have 3 Apple IDs?
Apple IDs cannot be merged and items bought with one Apple ID cannot be transfered to another. A computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days for automatic downloads, re-downloading of past purchases or iTunes Match. There is no getting around this restriction.
One computer can be autorized to play content purchased with multiple Apple IDs, though.
My suggestion is to pick on Apple ID and stick with it for the future. Once you have decided, log into one of the other Apple IDs and download every avialble item you bought with that ID to your computer. Wait 90 days. Log into the other ID and do the same thing. Wait 90 days. Finally log into the "main" Apple ID and stay logged in. Keep current backups of all your purchased items on a local, external HDD.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.
