What are the brands of DVD that are easily burned
I have somme problems to find a brand of DVD and DVD DL that my iMac accepts to burn
Problems with TDK DVD-R and Emtec DL DVD+R
Any suggestions or reason why these do not work (either with DVD Studio Pro or Toast )
I would recommend Taiyo Yuden DVD+Rs. (I get excellent results using iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.)
http://www.supermediastore.com/product/u/taiyo-yuden-silver-thermal-8x-dvd-plus- r-media-100
I have found DVD+R to be more reliable than DVD-R. The only disadvantage to DVD+R is that DVD players manufacture before 2003 may not play them.
DVD+R disks are better than DVD-R disks because of the increased error correction technique used in the newer +R standard.

What is the amount of DVDs that an iMac DVD Burner can burn? (or MTBF)
What is the amount of DVDs that an iMac DVD Burner can burn (DVD burner life time)? (or MTBF)
Your question sounds a bit like you want to use the Superdrive professionally? Personally, I would not depend on a vertically installed, super slim Drive where any media can easily shift by 1/100th of an inch. I've noticed that mine definitely needs to "rest" and cool off after about 3 DVDs. I purchased an external burner quite a few years ago (when I had an iMac without a Superdrive) and I still prefer to use it - it is sturdy, can read all sorts of media, and is reliable whereas the SuperDrive is known to be extremely finicky especially about the media they will read or write to.
So, I don't have a specific answer for you, but I wouldn't rely on it. -
If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

What is the procedure for verifying that my photos, after syncing up my iPad and my iMac, actually are in iTunes?
iTunes manages your photos between the iPad and iPhoto on the iMac. If you have things set up correctly, then the photos will go to iPhoto for safe keeping and later use.

What is the latest MAC OSX that my Macbook 2,1 can support?
What is the latest MAC OSX that my Macbook 2,1 can support? It came with 10.4.11Lion.
I am upgrading my harddrive and would love to install the most current OS that I possibly can.
I also have a Macbook 3,1 with OSX 10.5.8 Leopard that I want to do the same with. If they can both run the same OSX that would be helpful too.
Thanks a MILLION!Both of those MacBooks can run up to 10.7 Lion. (10.4.11 is Tiger) It's the RAM that you'll need to upgrade.
First you'll need to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
I recently upgraded an older MacBook (Early 2006 model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. Or go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion and purchase it there. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -

There is none. You are at the end for a PPC machine. To upgrade you need to purchase an Intel Mac.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

What is the max file size that a Adapter Engine [J2SE] can handle ?
We are having a scenario where a 4 GB compressed file needs to be sent across without mapping, I'm trying to explore the possible options to tackle this scenario.
Some of the options, we are considering :
- Sending a file from one Adapter Engine [J2SE] to another Adapter Engine [J2SE] bypassing PI. Adapter Logs will be monitored. What is the maximum file size that can be then handled assuming a standard installation ?
- What is the max file size that Adapter Engine [J2SE] can send through PI without mapping?
Any help with the above options or with any other possible solutions to handle extremely large file transfers will be much appreciated.Hi,
j2se is not a good option here
if you have 4gb then you need a copy solution
a) build an proxy that will just copy the file from sender dest to receiver
b) build an adapter that will do the same as proxy)
this way processing of this message will be controlled with SAP PI/XI
it will be as quick as copy & paste of the 4gb file
I did the a) for one of the flow for 300 mb and it works perfectly

What is the earliest prior period that you would like to enter into SAP B1
Can anyone please explain the need of gathering the following information in a BBP for SAP B1 2007B?
"What is the earliest prior period that you would like to enter into SAP Business One to allow for Comparative Financial Statements?"If you want to be able to create year over year reports, create budgets based on history, etc. you can't just start with opening balances for your GL accounts. You need to create past periods and load history amounts. That's all.
My clients typically want to be able to answer questions like 'How much higher (or lower) are sales this month than sales in the same month last year?' So for a client who 'went live' with SAP on January 1, 2009, I would create 12 periods for 2008 and enter their monthly balances for their GL accounts. -
What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?
What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?
The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

I have used Photshop 3.0 for many years... What is the current, simplest Replacement, that will work on Windows 7?
The currently-offered options you have from Adobe are full Photoshop for $10/month (in conjunction with Lightroom) or PS CS6 for $700/$1000, or Photoshop Elements for $100 or less. Elements is the “Consumer” version of Photoshop.
You can download a 30-day trial for PSE12 from Adobe by clicking the Try link next to the PSE12 icon near the bottom right:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html
There are other photo editors that will do similar things, but since Elements is from Adobe it may be a little more familiar. Without knowing exactly what operations you did with your photos, before, no one can answer your question about how similar a newer program might be to your older PS3:

What is the minimum permission level that allows users to view draft documents, other peoples' draft documents?
Normally a person creates a draft document and when they are ready they publish it and the Approver approves it. However, what if a power user needs to be able to see all draft documents. Not just their own but other peoples'. What is the minimum permission
level that allows then to do this?
Cheers,
Mark
Learning SharePointHi Mark,
Per my knowledge, there is no minimum permission level that allow users to view their own and other people’s draft documents.
This is based on the Draft Item Security setting you choose for your list in Versioning Settings:
You can follow the detailed steps in the link provided by Avni.

What is the earliest generation iPad that will accept iOS 8?
Hello!
Earlier this year, my friend from Moscow, Russia said to me "Please bring me an Apple iPad when you come on vacation!"
Being from Moscow, she's used to third-rate electronics dumped onto the Russian market from China. Her last laptop, an Acer Aspire, cost her $2300 and lasted approximately 6 months before literally disappearing behind a puff of smoke.
Being from America, and generous to a fault, I promptly went to eBay and started snatching up great deals left and right (contrary to some opinions, eBay IS a great place to buy used electronics, if you know what you are looking for, and know how to bid).
I took her not just "an Apple iPad", but the following GREAT items: 3 iPad Mini's w/ Retina Display (2 w/ Cellular, 1 w/ Wi-Fi only); 1 iPad 4 w/Cellular (her personal favorite!); 2 MacBook Pros (mid 2010, one with an SSD that boots in milliseconds, you should see it to believe it!); and 2 iPhone 4s.
She LOVES her new family of Apple products (she is "selling" some of them off to interested buyers at a 'slight' price increase - shhh!), but sadly is not used to the Apple environment, not familiar with tablets or smart phones at all. Needless to say, she has a LOT of questions.
Unfortunately, in my generosity, I gave her my all (my suitcase weighed in at 49 lbs, but my carry-on bag was about 120 lbs even ) - that's right, I don't have ANY iPads. I cannot answer any of her questions except by guessing.
In order to be able to see and experience for myself the new iOS 8 (and, to be able to answer my friend's questions), I want to buy a used iPad off of eBay, don't want to spend a lot more money on tablets (I have 2 working Google Nexus 7's and 9 under repair, who in his right mind would buy another tablet?!?!?)
MY QUESTION IS THIS: What is the earliest generation iPad that will accept iOS 8? 1st, 2nd, 3rd??? I really don't want to spend another $300 buying another iPad 4 or iPad Mini, I feel like I have done my duty, for God, for Apple, for Country, for Mother Russia....
Hope you enjoyed reading my story, btw.... It's all true - in Moscow tonight there is a gal going to bed with an Apple iPad 4 by her pillow, and she ADORES it!See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to.

What is the min pulse width that can be measured using a 32-bit conter?
what is the min pulse width that can be measured using a 32-bit conter?
and also by chnaging the referenced Clock, can we measure as min as 10ns pulse width?You could measure a 40ns pulse, but not with a great degree of accuracy. Here's a good document on how counter pulse width measurements are handled:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/7C77FB9EDC17C3C386256802007B8AB3
With a 40 ns pulse, you'd have 3 counts per pulse so your uncertainty is pretty high (33%). Another way to look at it would be that you would read either 3 counts or 4 counts which would be values of 37.5ns (3*12.5ns) or 50ns depending on where the rising edges fall. So you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 40ns pulse and a 42ns pulse, but you would between a 40ns and a 100ns.
Hope this helps,
