what database do apple recommend for small business?

The only real choice is FileMaker Pro unless you are a programmer. There are other databases but they are either very light weight or something a programmer would be required to set up.

What does "Personal Use Only" for small business owners mean?

For small businesses or Sole-Proprietors, computers they use for business are also the machines being used for personal use. If I understand the new Mac App Store license correctly, you cannot ethically purchase an app on the App Store that will be used for business use. If that is the case, the greatest oxymoron is that they have a "Business" section in the App Store.
I truly LOVE how easy the App Store makes managing one's apps, but if I have to now deal with seperating all purchases based on it's overall use, they have just complicated the small business scene for small business owners.
I fully understand them wanting to discourage a large business from purchasing, for example, Aperture, once and installing it on 100+ machines. But if that is what they're trying to avoid, why not be more specific in the terms of the updated App Store license info. Instead, they are shooting down any and all use of anything purchased in the App Store for business.
Any other small business owners facing the same situation?

Here is a clause from the Terms and Conditions, which can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS
*Begin quote*
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Product(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Product that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Product and laptop Mac Product, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Product located at a resource center or library.
*End quote*
It seems that as long as you abide by these guidelines, you can use App Store apps for business.

What app does Apple recommend for creating pocasts?

I need to be able to add the EXPLICIT tag too.
Now that Garageband doesn't support podcasting, what Apple program does?

Apple doesn't recommend anything. GarageBand can make mp3 files for you but I understand it no longer handles 'enhanced' M4a podcasts with chapters - in any case it used to hand over to the now unsupported iWeb to make the actual podcast feed.
There are a number of programs and services you can use - WordPress is powerful and flexible but is complex and get more people into problems than anything else in these forums. Bogger, Podbean and SquareSpace are easier; Libsyn is well supported but does have a running cost. Some website creation programs such as RapidWeaver can make a podcast feed for you. I can't recommend anything myself - when I was running my podcast I used Podcast Maker but it's not been updated for ages and Iget you understand it doesn't play well with Mountain Lion and up.
You may find my 'get you started' page on podcasting helpful:

HT1338 What Interface does Apple recommend for Garage Band as the D.A.W. ?

I Have a Line 6 Toneport UX-2. It does not work with my new MacBook Pro.I need to know what the Experts recommend I use as an Interface for Vocals,Guitar and Bass. I'm very excited about GarageBand and need a way "Into" my Computer..Thank you .GuitarGordy.

I use The Apogee Duet. It's a wonderful interface..straightforward, clean, and solid. They make an eight track model, The Apogee Ensemble. It's quite expensive, but if you shop around perhaps you could find a deal on it. It would be over your budget, but it's worth considering.
Here's a link to it on Musician's Friend:

What database would you recommend for a beginner?

I'm learning to use Java by developing a database application and am considering design choices.
I started using a text file but, from an earlier posting to this board have now have been persuaded to move to a real database using JDBC. I'm OK with that and have been reading up , trying to understand the topic.
But can you recommend the database to go for? The considerations are:
1) I will create the original data in advance. The users will extract from this 'master' database (about 3,000 records) & query/edit/save etc. their own subsets of the data for use later.
2) The end users will probably access the database locally, rather than as client-server.
3) I don't want one where the end user has difficulty setting up , say , DNS links etc.
4) I wont know the end users configuration., so...
5) Do I try for a type 4 all Java driver? My textbook says these are the most portable
6) Low (preferably zero) cost. I couldn't spend a lot on (say) oracle.
7) Ability to password protect (and preferably encrypt) the data
8) I'm a bit confused on version numbers I am using JDK 1.2.1, there is a JDBC ver 2.0 , will the two work together OK ?
9) As this is a learning exercise for me , perhaps I should add easy to learn! I'm familiar with MS access , but understand there aren't any free type 4 drivers for it.
I've heard mention of Cloudbase and have downloaded HSQL to look at also have a trial copy of Interbase [which looks complex?]
Any views on these ?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Mike.
(For info the JDK being used is 1.2.1, the OS is windows 95 and the IDE is Jbuilder 3 professional)

My advise (and it's not a troll) is to use MySQL , which is a quite light Database and well embeded using java programming.
This database is free and is mostly used for developping dynamic web servers with PHP.
JDBC 1.2 and 2.0 and ODBC are available for free too.
You may use PHPMyAdmin if you want a distant admin to be done.
There are many other clients in different languages.

Cloud Computing Recommendation for Small Business

Hey all,
So the company I currently work for is in need of a cloud service (other than iCloud) that caters to both Mac and PC. We just need it to be multi-user and also able to upload/download files/pics/videos that can be retrieved by any user that has access.
Thank You in advance

Dropbox is often recommended. I use it in a limited way as I'm not sure I want to have too much stuff stored in the cloud. That said, their product is easy to use and very reliable, in my experience. You can use it for free in a limited way to test it out, and then pay depending on how much storage you want:

Router for small business Internet connection

One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small Business and if you are looking for more ports on the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+ modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

I dont need CC - only Ps for small business

How to order only Ps for small business - 3 lisences?
Would be nice to administer them from a team account, not buy 3 different lisences.

You'll need to call Adobe. We fellow users only see what you see on Adobe's web site.
Keep in mind that if you don't subscribe, you will NOT be able to get the latest software. You can only buy a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, which is growing more out of date each day. There are actually substantial improvements in Photoshop CC - things like high quality true deconvolution in Smart Sharpen, detail-preserving upsampling, image straightening features in Camera Raw, new smart object features, greater use of the GPU to speed things up, etc.

What are the browser recommendations for best viewing iWeb 08 site on a PC?

What are the browser recommendations for best viewing iWeb sites on a PC? Can't find any info on Apple iWeb site.

Hi,
I don't think there are recommendations from Apple.
What I can say is that the newest version of InternetExplorer at the UniversityCampus is working great with my website I didn't find any problem (Menus, Slideshows, text displaying, pictures everything worked great). There are IE problems reported in other threads but I think they refer to older IE versions (seems like most IE users still have older versions on their PCs).
Newest Firefox will work too.
Reagrds,
Cédric

Error when installing Lenovo solutions for small business [Screenie included]

Hello everyone.
Recently, I tried opening the pre-installed Lenovo solutions for Small Business software on my Lenovo e530 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version (Upgraded from Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit) but failed after getting a message for encountering a critical problem of some sort. I then tried restarting my computer and that did not solve the problem. And then, I decided to install an upgrade version of it from this website http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030146. But before that I uninstalled the previous version by uninstalling Intel Small Business advantage customizations with Revo Uninstaller and I deleted all the related folders too with a thorough scan. Out of my expection, I got this message below saying that I could not proceed due to some unspecified error. Has anyone encountered the same problem before? Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm not sure if that's my computer's problem or from the driver itself. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Hi, dougy
This should be configurable under msconfig. This is a program that you can use to tell your computer which programs you want to start when Windows starts. To get to this program, type msconfig into the search bar in the Start menu. A window should appear. Check under the Startup tab and make sure that the Lenovo Solutions for Small Business program does not have a checkmark next to it. This should prevent this program from starting up when your computer turns on.
Hope it helps,
Adam
