What documentation do I need to set up a second file server?

I have a 10.4 server that used to be my OD master... but I'm setting up a new Mac Pro to be the master (running 10.6) but would like the old 10.4 server to handle some of the network software. I don't mind doing a bit of reading to set this up, but I couldn't find any documentation to help me. The File Server Administration PDF doesn't talk about a second server for AFP or how to get the second server to look up user information on a different server running as the OD Master...
Thanks in advance for any help or direction! (either would be great!)

Hi
Launch Directory Access (/Applications/Utilities) on your 10.4 Server, click on the LDAPv3 Plug-in and create a New Entry. Add the fully qualified domain name of your 10.6 OD Master. There's no need to provide authentication unless you're disallowing anonymous binding on your 10.6 OD Master?
Assuming everything is as it should be regarding internal DNS Services and that the 10.4 Server is referencing the correct DNS Server, the 10.4 Server should now be reading from the OD Master's LDAP Database - essentially your Users and Groups. Launch WorkGroup Manager on the 10.4 Server and you should see those Users and Groups.
All of the above absolutely depends on properly working and configured DNS Services. You may want to add an A Record for the 10.4 Server in whatever you've designated as your DNS Server for your private network. Presumably this will be the 10.6 Server? For SSO (Kerberos) Authentication to work properly - assuming this is what you want? All Servers and Clients must be referencing the same NTP Server.
Assuming all has gone well with the 'join', launch Server Admin and click on the Open Directory Service. This should report its role as "Connected to a Directory Service". Now start the AFP Service. Use WorkGroup Manager to define shares and access. I would enable Access Control Lists for volumes you wish to designate shares on. Once enabled restart the 10.4 Server. Use the ACL Permissions Model rather than the POSIX one. Make sure you propagate permissions afterwards. Don't share Volumes. Share folders instead.
You can have as many Servers as you like presenting AFP Shares to as many clients as you like. There is no restriction. Basically it's just another server offering shares. The documentation you've read does not mention multiple servers probably because - no offence intended - it's kind of obvious and fairly straightforward.
HTH?

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

What software do i need to convert AVCHD mts/mts2 files to import to iMovie

As Kirk says, if you have your camera, you can attach it directly.
Further, if you preserved the entire file structure of your camera (not just the .mts files, but also the folders on the camera), then you can import from that via FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA ARCHIVE.
When you import from a camera, it is recommended that you keep a camera archive so you always have the originals available.
If you have the .mts files out of context, you will need a third party app to convert. Two that I know of are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. You should convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec. And then use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
Hi Bob
RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.

HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

What software do i need to install in order to be able
to play movies in .avi format.

files are in .avi format.
Ansver i get : does not support

VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

Setting up an internet file server using Powermac

With iDisc possibly being dumped with the switch to Cloud, I'm looking at the possibility of turning an PowerMac into some sort of internet file server/iDisc replacement. Now, whilst I'm not clueless I'm not a networtking expert, so if poss I need some help.
What I'd like to do is have the machine at work, connected to my router by wire. The three main work machines (Mac Mini's and iMacs) can access it also by wire, as they're wired into the same router. Then I'd like to be able to access it's files on my iDevices when either connected to the work network wirelessly or out and about via the internet. Also, be able to connect my laptop and home machine to it via the internet.
I don't want to be able to stream anything from the file server, just use it as a file store, for stuff that needs working on at home and work, and when out and about using my iPad or iPhone.
The Powermac runs that last version of OS X that will run on the non intel machines, and the work machines on Snow Leopard. My iDevices are JB's and run 4.3.3 and my Macbook Pro runs Lion.
I have a dynamic IP at work, and only use Macs so don't need to be able to connect Windows machines.
Help, advice welcome.
Ta.

Hi Steve, with a Dynamic IP at work, you'll need to a service like DynDNS or no-IP.

Securely setting Up a Web/ File server

I was just placed into managing my companies new xServe and had a few questions that I would not mind a second opinion on.
The Servers primary role will be a file server, iCal server and sharing a company wide address book.
The secondary role would be a backup web server for a few websites that are hosted outside, but have been known to go down from time to time.
Currently we have a firewall/ router that manages DHCP with none-routable internal IPs. We also have a 4 port cable modem that is used for our static IPs (we have 5 static IPs) Right now we are only using one IP for the router.
My Idea:
Plug one NIC into the cable modem giving it a real IP, then lock it down with the servers software firewall to port 80. Plug the other into our switch that sits behind the firewall. The thought was that if you wanted to use the file server or administer the server you would need to use the VPN, but the outside could still use the web services.
I am no security expert and linking the two networks together via the server kinda sounds like a bad idea... any thoughts?

NFS
Share a directory from your server using the command share. For example:
# To share the directory /store to all users in the network, use:
share -o ro=host1:host2:host3... -d "My first share" /storeThe previous command will share the directory /store only to the computers listed as host1:host2:host3.... No other computer will have access. You can check the entire share usage with man share.
From your client computer, assuming Solaris, issue the command:
mount -o ro,soft,bg host:/store /mnt/net/remove_host/store The use of option bg prevents the mount to hang during system startup if the remote computer is not accessible.
In your vfstab, use something like:
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
wgtsinf01:/store - /store nfs - yes bg

What documentation do you need?

Hello all,
I'm a technical writer without programming experience (although I am interested). I've been asked by my former employer to write a user guide for their new Web Service. I previously wrote an API guide for them, but the world of Web serivces is new to me.
As I educate myself, I'm trying to understand precisely what information programmers like yourselves need when you sit down to integrate your business application to Web services. A quick search through usenet and forums like these tells me that many of you hate bad or incomplete documentation, so I'm eager to hear what type of information you really need to work with Web services.
Some background if it helps: My customer is providing their services through SOAP, secured using HTTPS. WSDL files will be used to generate client-side stubs. Java or Microsoft.NET can be used. The only documentation that exists thus far is a list of service descriptions (Method, Type, Parameter, and a brief Description for each).
Thanks in advance for your help.

I always like examples. You should work with their engineers and provide examples of the core use cases.

What equipment do i need to set-up a home editing station?

i have been approached by my job to do some editing for them. they are going to pay for me to take a final cut pro class (i graduated from film school in 1998 - right before the big switch was made from flat beds to AVID). Any suggestions of the kind of mac i would need, memory, loading footage, playback monitor, screen, etc?
Thanks.

What kind of format will you be working with?
HD? HDV????? DV? Beta?
I'd buy the biggest baddest mac you can afford - 2 gigs memory is fine unless you can swing 4. Fill the 4 bays with at least 500gig drives (but....)
The rest will depend on what format you will be using.

HT202213 what steps do I need to set up a new pc with my existing itunes library?

I just purchased a new PC. I have itunes set up on my old PC. How can I bring iTunes into my new pc? Do I need to start with installing/downloading iTunes and then transfer over the libraries?

Additionally...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What converter do I need to download for converting CR2 files into DNG?

Used EOS Rebel T1i in camera raw setting. The Canon Camera Raw images will not open up because camera is not supported in Photoshop CS5 Extended, version 12.0.4 X64. Also tried to open by changing the the setting to Photoshop Raw but got a "Specified image is smaller than file" alert. When image opened, it was a grayscaled image full of noise. See below. What can I do to open these images, or to convert them?

Your Canon EOS Rebel T1i is supported and only requires ACR 5.4 or newer.
See: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Since you have Photoshop CS5 you should have ACR 6.7, so either there is something wrong with your install of ACR or you are doing something wrong.
Trying to open in PHOTOSHOP RAW is completely different than ADOBE CAMERA RAW.
You need to use Adobe Camera Raw (ACR),
Just forget that Photoshop Raw even exists.It does not do what you need to do to open your CR2 files.

N00b needs help setting up MAC OSX Lion Server for email.

I recently purchased a Mac Mini running OSX Lion Server and I really don't understand how to set it up as an email server (which was my main goal). Eventually I'd like to set it up to host just about everything else, but I can't seem to figure out how to set up my router and MX records to point to my server in order to host imap mail. I do have a static IP by the way but this N00b is confused... Please help!

Funny you should ask, because I have been spending the day trying todo the same. I just need to know what to enter into my mx record in network solutions. I can send mail, but I can't receive it just yet. Any help would be great.
