VPN solution for Mac

Hello,
I am interested in the QuickVPN solution for a Mac. Is this software available? I am getting mixed messages in my searches.
If not, what is the secure, reliable way to use an RV-120W with a Mac?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Yes there is a solution to etablish VPN from MAC to RV120W using IPsecuritas (VPN client)
link to download : http://ipsecuritas.en.softonic.com/mac/download
And this is a link how to configure IPsecuritas with Cisco Router support IPsec and Xauth users

Anti-Virus Solutions For Mac OS X Server 10.3/10.4 and clients

Hello. I am currently researching an anti-virus solution, for our network, consisting around 60% Mac's.
Does anyone know of any decent packages, that I could implement, I have looked at a few, and I'm not confident in using them, mainly from prior experience, with standalone units, let alone on a network.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated !!

Full mesh VPN solution for on MPLS network with PE and CPEs

Hi,
We are trying to evaluate some best solution for Hub-Spoke mesh vpn solution in a MPLS network. The VPN hub router will be in PE router and all the VPN spoke will be in CPE.
Can someone please let us know what will be the best vpn solution, we understands that there will be some technical limitations going with GETVPN but still we did counld find any documenation for possiblity of using DMVPN.
How about the recent flexvpn, can fex-vpn work on this requirement, where can i get a design/configuration document.?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
GetVPN is intended for (ANY-to-ANY) type of VPN communication, over an MPLS network with Hub and Spoke Topology, your best Option is to look for Cisco (DMVPN) implementation where this type of VPN is primarily designed for Hub & Spoke.

Quickbooks'esque solution for Mac?

I need a software like Quickbooks for my Mac, but I am hearing terrible things about QB not updating to do anything to make it more compatible with Mac in recent years, it doesn't sync with iCloud, etc. The guy at the Apple store said Apple wasn't even going to keep offering this moving forward, but was going with ____ other accounting program (I forget the name he said, and I can't find anything about this online either). But... I basically need solutions for accounting for our home and our small business that we run (need ability to separate out into 2-3 different companies we run, separate out by clients, projects, etc.). We only need one unique user at this point, as I do all of our data entry, prep for taxes, etc. And we certainly don't need payroll capability yet either. This is mainly to keep our records in order, generate invoices, run reports, and have one handy location from which to generate tax info for our accountant. I am not an accountant btw, just need to get organized and have an older MacBook Pro that I am trying to hobble along with. Open to all suggestions and also want to hear personal pros and cons re: the various versions of Quickbooks that are currently being billed as "Quickbooks for Mac."

Apple doesn't include QuickBooks on the iMac in its current iteration. I suggest asking the question on QuickBooks for the Mac forum. QuickBooks for Windows should run just fine if you install Parallels or Boot Camp, or one of these other Intel based virtualization solutions on the Mac*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
However, you won't get the advantage of the Mac security when using the Windows version of QuickBooks. Someone on Intuit's forum should know how to make your migration as painless as possible to the Mac version and if there are any crossgrades available.

Wireless storage solution for mac and pc network?

I am trying to figure out a way for my pc's and power book to share files through a shared wireless hard drive. I need a new hard drive anyway, as mine is just about filled, but it seems silly to save all of my music to each computer instead of one location that all of them can access. Linksys has one, model # EFG250. Does anyone know if it will work. Will it work with a mac? Are there other solutions out there?

You can always set up a network and keep the music on one computer and point all the other computers to that one library. I keep all my music on my iMac and have my BlackBook and three PCs pointed to it to share the music over the network.
Those NAS drives are very expensive for what you get. Since you are planning on upgrading your drive, get a large drive and save the money.
If you really want to do this externally, the new Airport Express base station has a USB port in it that can be used to access an external drive over the network. I understand you can also use a USB hub to hook more than one drive into it.
That might be worth looking into.

Possible Slowness Solution For Mac In LR4.2RC

Hi all --
This might be a total red-herring, but after using LR4 for a while and experiencing the rotten slowness of it all on my MacBook Pro, I did some experimenting in LR4.2RC. I've written my findings up on my blog but I'll copy the solution here so you don't have to go digging.
Sidenote: for the benefit of the hardware nerds out there my main machine is a MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66GHz model (MacBookPro6,1), with a 512GB SSD, 8G RAM, running (at the moment) OS X 10.7.4. It’s not the most recent MacBook Pro, but it’s a 2010 model which with updates has no problems with anything else. My LR4 catalogue has about 110,000 images in it split into a hierarchy of Year -> Shoot -> Images.
The first thing I did was try and blitz the Preferences files. This has been known to work for Windows users, but of course the Mac version is different – at least that bit is. I’ll save you some time and tell you now that it didn’t do a dicky bird other than freak my copy of Lightroom out, so I ended up reinstating the plist files.
Then a friend suggested recreating the catalogue (cheers Gaz!). My LR4 catalogue came via a port from LR2 to LR3 over the past few updates. First thing I did was create a new catalogue and import everything from the old catalogue in to the new one via File -> Import From Another Catalog. It took a while but gave me a clean catalogue which sorta worked a bit better – still not massively fast, but faster.
The real paydirt came with Time Machine though. In common with a lot of Mac users I have a small external disk which I use to keep backups, handled by the OS. In addition to that there’s a sort-of journalling system which handles versions and Time Machine when the external disk isn’t connected (and incidentally will explain disk space discrepancies – you can read more about the phenomenon here).When I added ~/Library/Caches to the backup exclusions, LR4 was back to the speed I’d have expected.
To do this, click on your Time Machine icon (on the menubar, it’s the little clock with the arrow going backwards), and thenOptions on your Time Machine screen. It’ll allow you to exclude particular directories from the backup.
I can’t think of any particular downside to this as cache files are usually temporary, but I’m sure another Mac fanboi will correct me in the comments if this isn’t the case. As it is, it seems to have fixed it for me so far and I’ve been using Lightroom heavily for the past day or so. Whether it gets slower in time I don’t know and I’ll post an update if it does so. But I do hope this helps other frustrated Mac photogs out there!
Best wishes
Joel.

Joel!
This is fascinating and wonderful if it indeed works. I'm also going to try the exclude ~/Library/Caches tip and see if I get similar speed results. I'm finding that I have to quit out of Lightroom every few hours and relaunch when it gets bogged down to a less than happy place.
I'll report back in about a week with my findings.

Single best external storage solution for Mac Pro & MacBook Pro ...?

Hello,
I'm still waiting for the Mac Pro delivery I have around me something like four external hard drives from different vendors and different sizes and all containing important data ... it is really a mess, cables, lack of redundancy, etc.
I wanted to replace all these once and for all by a single elegant long-lasting and reliable solution to combine with my new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. The best I could find was OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 8.0TB containing four internal HDD in double RAID with multiple possible setups: RAID 0 and RAID 1, RAID 10 configurations:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEQX2T8.0S/
Looks like an excellent choice for the only one external storage solution! does anyone has experience with this model? are there better contenders?
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Giovanni

Giovanni,
I have the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 (6 TB) external HD array in a Raid 5 configuration (as received from OWC). I have found it to be excellent when connected to my Mac Pro using a PCI SATA card and the SATA output on the Elite-AL Pro Qx2. The speed of the system under Raid 5 easily supports all but uncompressed high definition video, and the system came with Prosoft's Data Backup software which does an excellent job of backing up other external drives installed on my Mac Pro.
I highly recommend the Qx2 and think you will find it is a good single source solution to providing you with reliable and safe storage for your data. With Raid 5 if one of the HD's in the Qx2 fails, you simply remove it and allow the system to rebuild the data when you insert a new HD. Thus unless two HD's fail simultaneously (high unlikely) you are protected against data loss. Note also that your Mac Pro does not have to be left on while the Qx2 is rebuilding.

Patch management solution for Mac software?

Does anyone know of a solution to managing the update/patching of Mac software other than the Mac App Store for home users? I know there are enterprise solutions, but I am looking for something that is comparable to Secunia PSI.

That is not my experience with Secunia PSI. It is an excellent home utility for Windows systems to keep the latest security patches applied to more than just the Microsoft products. And by "more", I mean every product that I have ever loaded on a Windows computer.
I am happy that the Mac is not targeted often, but it is targeted. Fixing flaws quickly is important to minimizing the risk of vulnerabilities. Currently, the only product I am aware of that does this is Mackeeper, which the community here has derided because of the aggresive tactics that vendor takes to sell the product and the general sense that Macs dont need any utility software because of a few cleanup scripts that Apple runs automatically.
I dont agree with agressive sales, but I also do not agree that Macs have no need for security software
Macs are great computers, but they are not flawless systems. (http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search-results?query=mac_os_x) Maybe more products for the Mac will go to App store distribution, which will greatly simplify updates, but I am not holding my breath for all the applications that I use.

My bookmarks and my history don't save - I have a Mac and can't find the solution for Mac

The same problem I've seen in other forums, but the solution is always for PC and not Mac. My bookmarks don't save (or when I try to save a new one in the toolbar, everything that comes after it disappears) and history just doesn't work.
I am exceptionally computer illiterate. I really need some thorough step-by-step instructions on how to fix this.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Backup solutions for Mac environment

What are people using to backup their Xserves? I manage four Xserves and one IBM server. We have about 600GB of storage. I've been using an Exabyte 1U 1x10 library with the 320 drive. The software is Retrospect running off one of the Xserves.
I back up five times a week using two tapes per session but I'm omitting about 250GB of data. I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server.
I am NOT a trained IT person.
Thanks.

Hi
In no particular order:
http://www.tri-edre.com/english/tribackup.html
http://www.bakbone.com/netvault_backup.php
http://www.atempo.com/products/timeNavigator/default.asp
http://www.tolisgroup.com/products/
http://www3.crashplan.com/landing/index.html
http://www.archiware.com/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/
And if you really must:
http://www.retrospect.com/
Although I would steer you clear of Restrospect unless it's on the Windows platform. I think most of the veteran users of this site would probably agree? Having said that there are some who have no problems with it. Who knows for you it might be the 'ideal' solution? However I have to ask: "If your data is precious to you do you want to risk it?" For me it's too unreliable when it comes to a restore. Something any Backup Strategy should include. Additionally there have problems with it since Roxio took it over - Scripts disappearing and media being lost etc.
I've not tried all of the ones listed and no doubt there may well be others. The ones I have tried I've had no problems with - NetVault and BRU. In some environments and depending on the circumstances I've had no problems with TimeMachine.
+"I'd prefer something that would also work with the IBM server"+
You could look at this another way? Purchase or Install BackupExec or Veritas or any one of the myriad backup software available for the platform and install on your Windows Server. Backup your Mac-based data either as a mapped network drive or by using the applications client utility - assuming there's one available for the software you eventually decide on?

Will Airport TimeCapsule work with McAfee Internet Solutions for Mac?

Once the McAfee software installs, the firewall seems to block Time Machine from backing up. Does anyone know if there are settings within McAfee that need to be configured?
Thanks

To solve that problem uninstall McAfee. It is worthless on your Mac. Your Mac has builtin Firewall enable that if you feel you need one. There is no need for using McAfee for that.

Vpn software for connecting mac from windows

Is there VPN software availbale which I can use in windows system to connect to a mac system?

Is this for a corporate environment? I would check with your work's I.T. Dept. and find out what they are using as their VPN Server application; my employer uses Checkpoint and in the case of Checkpoint, I know that they made a free Tiger-compatible VPN client for users in addition to a Windows-compatible client that works with their enterprise-class VPN server product; I would imagine that most VPN server vendors would at least have a complementing Windows-compatible client product.
I know that Equinux makes a "third-party" VPN client called VPN Tracker for Mac platforms, that purportedly interoperates with a great number of VPN server products and fills the void where the server houses have not bothered to support Mac clients -- from prior experience I know for a fact that it worked great with one flavor of Checkpoint server, but I don't know if they make a Windows version or not. Check out equinux.com for more info on that product.

I would like to suggest a Verizon-specific forum for Mac-users

Verizon is the largest provider of wireless and other related solutions. When I have problems with my Mac or supporting services I am consistently able to find solutions on either the Mac or Verizon forums. However, this takes quite a bit of effort to locate the right answer for my problem. And, this takes a lot of time.
I would like to harness solutions for Mac-users who are Verizon customers all in one place. This could make it easier for Mac-users to get quick answers. This could also be a great referral point for Verizon as it sorts out answers/solutions for Mac users.
Currently, Verizon hears from less than .05% of its customers that there are any issues of compatibility, less access to great services, needs for solutions for Mac. However Mac users represent at least 20% of computer users around the US. On the one hand you can infer that there are issues with less than .05% of the Mac universe or, on the other hand, you can infer that many just don't go to Verizon for the solutions.
I am not sure which is right. I just know that having solutions in one place, my Mac home, would be useful. I hope you will consider the idea.
I do realize no forums are dedicated to any one provider. However, Verizon, again, is the biggest provider. Maybe this is worthy of a forum.

Hi,
I this case I don't see the need to duplicate services that are independent and already out there
http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all for North America as a whole
This British one has ISP related forums as well as OS specific issue ones
http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/
If I had Internet Connection problems and my ISP seemed unable to help me then I would look to those.
I am sure there are many that are also Language based all over the world or at least country based where a language is spoken in more than one part of the world.
It is about the level of question involved and some may already get answered in the "Getting On Line" and similar forums already here.
