What installation of windows for powerfull 3D modelling and rendering.

Hi everybody.
I need a config to use windows in a very compatible, easy to use and powerfull way. No simple bootcamp installation as I will be rebooting all the time, between mac apps , Adobe CS (OSX) and Rendering Software (Shot/Bunkspeed -windows).
So what installation of windows should I have? Virtual Computing or Virtualization? and what Software for everything to go fast enough?
Then What hardware should I have for everything to run well? Any special requirement?
Thanks for the answers.

I would have posted in Mac Pro forum. Why do you say "simple bootcamp" as actually a VM is much easier and less fuss but will never live up to what you need.
A VM will NEVER be as fast or as well as running natively, especially with 3D or anything hardware resource intense.
Maybe time to build a PC or switch CS5 to Windows (it does have some advantages though CS5 caught up some) but to use CUDA you would need the only nVidia Apple sells probably.
Run OS X off a RAID.
Put your VM on its own drive or array.
Normally I would say CS5 etc then the Quadro 4000 would be ideal as 2nd video card.
Most people install Windows natively first on its own partition, what Apple calls "Boot Camp" but overuses the term, so that they can dual boot; then, install Parallels or Fusion so that they can use Windows as a guest OS under Mac OS when they don't need full access to all the RAM, more cores, and direct access to graphics.
Easy to use to me, Windows 7 or OS X, both are fine, though Windows on Mac has some limitations.
People have run multiple VMs on Mac Pro and find performance to be good thanks to dual processor, plenty of RAM and multiple fast hard drives.
I would install Windows on its own hard drive first, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (System Builder is fine but you need Pro to use more RAM and dual processors).

I exchanged my battery-challenged Ipad 1 for a refurbished model, and it won't move from the first page. . .what gives?

I exchanged my battery-challenged Ipad 1 for a refurbished model, and the new model won't move from the first page, which shows the battery charger pointing toward an Itunes logo. It has a full battery charge. . .what gives?

It's been so long since I activated an iPad original model, and I am assuming that it needs to be activated. If that's not the problem, then you need to restore the iOS software.
Eject the iPad, turn the iPad off, quit iTunes, restart you computer - then restart the iPad and connect it to your computer and see if iTunes launches on it's own. If it doesn't, then launch it yourself. If iTunes does not guide you through the activation process, I assume that you have to restore the software.
Click on the iPad name on the left sidebar of iTunes. If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top. Then you should see the iPad under the devices heading. After you click on the iPad name, click on the Summary Tab at the top of the iTunes window on the right. Then Click on Restore.
I'm hoping that starting the process over again activates the iPad rather than having to restore the device, but see what happens.

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

What do you mean? Your only way to unlock that phone is to have had 40 days continuous service with T-Mobile and then process the unlock through them. If you had an account with T-Mobile you should be able to login and process your unlock. If you did not you can click on the chat program but they are going to tell you the same thing.

Do you know any program for 3d modeling and rendering for Mac?

Do you know any program for 3d modeling and rendering for Mac?

I use MegaPov for 3D-rendering. MegaPov is a Mac version of the free PovRay, a photrealistic renderer. It is perfect, if you like to write animation scripts to program elaborate animations and shading.
If you prefer a GUI to a scripting language you may consider Blender; it is also free.
Rather expensive, but with an elaborate GUI are Maya and Cinema 4D; both are available for the mac.

How to add/delete support group for a requisition, a talent group, application groups, applications, or agencies?

Okay, you mean I can also assign individual team members to a support team by adding record in infotype 5131; and
The data for a support group is stored in Infotype 5151 and 5152 which will be maintenance by administrator.
How to interpret information using Infotype 5151 and 5152?
Exp,
1. The support group is assign for which requisition,talent group, application group, application, or agency
2. List of member of each support group.
As the only common field which can link both table is ROLE field. Which i think it is not unique enough to get information for above 2 items.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

What is the shortcut for eject in apple and pc keyboard?

What is the shortcut for eject in apple and pc keyboard?

Easiest way with an Apple is to drag the item to be ejected to the trash, which then turns into the eject symbol. Some Apple keyboards also have av eject key, the triangle on top of a horizontal bar. You can also eject a DVD/CD by restarting and holding the mouse in the click position.

What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
I see this on amazon
*Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
*Technical Details*
*¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
*¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
*¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
*¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
*¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
Go figure, but for now there it is.
Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

Installation Error - Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and WWW Publi

Hi all,
I am a newbie to UPK..
Just tried installing UPK Developer Server + Client on my local machine, and hit upon the following error that I have no idea of !!
Service status check
Setup cannot determine if Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed on the computer.
Confirm that Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and World Wide Web Publishing are installed and running on the computer.
Please select another configuration.
OK
I am using Win 7 Ultimate.. 32 bit.. ran the Installer with Administrator privileges already !!
Any help from you, in case you have the solution, would be highly appreciated.. :)
Besties..

Hi Sahil,
Couple of things here - The server component on UPK can only be installed on Windows Server 2003 or 2008 - so it seems as if you are choosing the incorrect installation option when running the setup. There are normally a few options when you run the setup for UPK - these include the following:
1. Developer Client
2. Developer Server
3. Developer Server and Client
4. Developer Single User
5. Knowledge Center
You should be selecting option 4 - Developer Single user. This will install all binaries required (including the database) to your local machine. This option is not used as a multi-user environment, but rather for sole use on your PC/laptop. If you intend on installing on a multi-user environment, you will need to review the Tech Specs for UPK to ensure that you meet the Hardware and Software requirements.
The errors you are receiving about WAS is related to IIS. You need to ensure that the role for IIS is installed on your machine - The webserver component of UPK utilises IIS.
Hope this all helps.

Greig

Why the Wi-Fi signal on my i-Pod Touch 2nd generation fluctuates? I have uopaded it to the newest version of OS for that particular model and the signal meter shows fluctuation all the way down to one dot. With the older OS (2.2.1) I didn't have any issue

I have replaced my router from Verizon "Westel 8500" to Apple Air Extreme. Also changed my network provider from Frontier DSL to Comcast (TV Cable) and the issue with fluctuation seams to get a little worst than before. Currently I'm running the newest OS allowed for that particular model. With the older version (2.2.1) I did not have any Wi- Fi fluctuation. My connection is not dropping just the signal, according to the Wi-Fi meter is getting weaker. Please help.

Could you post the output of these commands here?
Step 1:
Command 1: ( In Terminal)
'/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport --scan'
Paste the results here.
Step 2:
Now Open console->system.log. Clear the display and Insert Marker.
Command 2: ( In Terminal)
'sudo /usr/libexec/airportd -d '
Now reproduce the wireless issue you see and monitor the system log in Console.
Wait for a few minutes so you see this issue happening.
Then, Turn AirPort off and on a couple times to see if this issue still happens.
Copy paste the system.log here.
Step 3:
Next, when you see this issue happening, hold the option key down and click on the AirPort menu icon and get the RSSI and Transmit rate details and post them here.
Misc things to check:
Make sure your AP settings are good. Stick to standard 11g/11a modes and disable any enhanced modes if your Access Point supports it.
Real Player check- Do you by any chance have Real Player running ? It installs a Download Agent in your Login Items and that is known to create havoc. Try uninstalling this app. if you have it. Also make sure there is no instance of Real Player here -- System Prefereces-Accounts- Login Items.

What format to use for compatibility with Mac and PC

Hi!
Just created an HD video in FCPX v10.1.
Is there a sharing option that I can use to get a video file that can be read both on a Mac (Quicktime) and on a PC (Windows Media Player)?
Thanks
Yvon

Avid has a free codec called DNxHD. Sort of an alternative to ProRes. It's the only usable one I've found for jumping between PC and Mac systems. It makes very large files however, which is a hassle but not a deal-breaker. (You can control the file size: 8-bit vs 10-bit, etc.).
I use it for workflow issues, before final render, however. If you just want to render a final product that is used on all systems, then h264 / mp4 is your best bet, like others have said.
If you really need a final version that is uncompressed, then DNxHD works. But the codec has to be installed on the user's computer.

What should I think for 865PE Neo3-F and 3.0 ghz?

with this mobo
MSI "865PE Neo3-F" i865PE Chipset Motherboard For Intel LGA 775 CPU
and this CPU
Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 540J 3.2 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache
what should I exspect for a super stable overclock? Does the motherboard have tons of options?
Im going to be de clocking the memory so I can get a higher clock speed. Let me know if you know how well the options are. Thanks.
I hope at least 3.6 (It will have extra cooling 40 degree datacenter)

There's not only MSI make 775 with old chipset.
DFI even make 775 with 875 chipset. And in my country (in a mag), they complain it's faster than 915. -yes, I think it's right, no surprise-
I think it's not about OC but more about price. As the chipset is cheaper, and use AGP + DDR1, so you can still use most -expensive- part of your previous system.

What can Lightroom do for me that Photoshop and Bridge can't?

I've been using Creative Suite Design Pro since CS2 (now on CS4). Lately I've been getting more into photography and have started hearing and reading about Lightroom. Does Lightroom have features that Photoshop Extended and Bridge in CS don't? Can it do things for me that I can't already do in CS? Bottom line - what makes it worth the purchase price? Thanks, Mary

If you are comparing Lightroom to Photoshop CS specifically, the biggest difference you are going to see is the Lightroom capabilities compared to what Camera Raw in Photoshop CS will do. Lightroom has all the features of the latest Camera Raw. As far as Photoshop itself is concerned, I haven't used CS4, but the big feature that I saw an improved in CS3 was the Photoemerge feature. It works so much better, and I understand it is even better in CS4. I'm sure there are many other improvements in the latest version of Photoshop, but I have decided to wait for the next version before I upgrade.
