What is the best way to configure my time capsule if I just want to use it for storage?

I have a time capsule that I just want to use as backup storage - I don't need it for accessing the internet. What is the best way to set it up? I just tried and it seems to override my normal internet WLAN, which isn't what I want. If I re-insate the existing WLAN, presumably the backup won't happen automatically on the time capsule. Any insights very welcome!!
Dave

To work as a backup location the TC has to be part of the existing network.
The best way to achieve that is to plug the TC into the existing modem router and put it in bridge mode.
Apple lately have tried to force people to use the TC as the main router.. and the setup via airport utility pushes you in that direction but it is wrong.
You bridge it and use it as storage.. that is fine.. Simply turn off the wireless if you prefer to use the existing wireless, although for Macs the TC will often work better and you can pick up internet through it at the same time.
With access by wireless you cannot have two separate networks. If you try to do that, then you will have one connection with internet and no backup.. and another connection for backup with no internet and be forced to swap between the two.. do not do this!!
You can even setup wireless as roaming.. so same name and security and password as your existing modem router.. and allow the computer to determine which is the best signal to join.

What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story. Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

HT1281 What is the best way to restore a Time Capsule from an Archive disk?

I've done an archive of my Time Capsule and am going to store it off-site with my parents. What I'd like to know is, if my Time Capsule disk gets corrupt or needs reformatting, how can I restore its data from the Archive disk? Can I simply copy its files back onto the Time Capsule disk manually? And if so, will Time Machine recognise the sparseimages?

I think you would just keep archive as that.. if the TC was wiped then it is able start TM backup anew.. that is better and quicker than restoring a TC backup from the archive and then using TM to update it.. that would take forever. But yes, you should be able to connect the usb drive to a computer and copy the sparse bundle to the TC..

What is the "best" way to configure iTunes on an iMac with personal user acounts so each user can access the media library but sync devices on their personal user account?

I am trying to determine the best way to set up our imac so each user account can access the same media (songs, movies etc.) through itunes and also back up and manage their personal devices under their own personal user account. There are 4 users on our iMac. Me, my wife, and our 2 children. We have built an extensive library of music/media together using the same iTunes store account. I would like to establish a seperate apple id and iTunes store account for each of us going forward but have the ability for each of us to share our purchases. What is the best way to configure our system and devices in order to allow shared access to media and at the same time allow for individual management of devices including contacts, apps, photos, etc. Please help, I would like to do this once!
Thank you in advance!

OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
Applications - just went through them. About the only one I needed was my media server app. Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine. Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too.
Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders. Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly. Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here.
Documents - Just copied these across.
Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager. You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries. Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore. Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc.

What is the best way to configure password in Cisco IOS?

I am running IOS 15.2(4) on a 1921 Router
What is the best way to configure the password for the router? I have already tried once and managed to lock myself out of another switch. I would like to use the most secure method which encrypts the password.
Current Config:
username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123

Cisco IOS will not let me use a type 5 password. This is the error message I receive:
ERROR: The secret you entered is not a valid encrypted secret.
To enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, do not specify type 5 encryption.
When you properly enter an UNENCRYPTED secret, it will be encrypted.
I tried generating an MD5 hash and inputting that in and that did not work either. When I do not specify type 5 it will default to using an encrypted type 4 password.
Also, what is the difference between these two enable secret commands?
enable secret 5 password
username admin privilege 15 secret 5 password

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

What is the best way to configure my iPods and user accounts?

I'm looking for a little guidance. Here is my situation:
I am running the latest version of Tiger. It is currently configured with three accounts; mine is the admin. account and each of my two children have their own accounts.
My account is the one that is used most of the time. All of our calendars in iCal are maintained here including one for each of the kids. Each of the kids has their own Contacts list in the Address Book as well. I currently have a 5G 30GB iPod Video that I sync with iTunes through this account. Shortly, I will be buying an iPod Touch. I want my 30 GB iPod to be the one that has everything on it; it will be the one we take in the car on trips for music. I want the Touch to have some, but not necessarily all, of my music and all of our calendars and contact information. I am looking to use it to replace my Palm as my PDA.
My son has a 2G Nano which currently syncs through his account.
My daughter will be getting a 3G Nano soon.
I will also be upgrading to Leopard very soon.
Ultimately, I would like each of the kids to have their own iTunes libraries for music and podcasts and to sync their iCal calendars. As I understand it, however, they cannot access their calendars from their own accounts under my current arrangement. I also understand that there are several ways to configure my Mac to work with multiple iPods.
Given all of this, what is the best thing for me to do? Should I set up all of the kids' iPods to sync through the admin. account so they can get their calendars at the same time? Or is their some way for them to have access to their calendar information from their own accounts under Tiger (or Leopard)? And as far as my two iPods (the Video and the Touch), should they sync through separate libraries, or through one using playlists. I also want to minimize duplicate data wherever possible, be it music or records in iCal and the Address Book.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

What is the best way to configure AE for use as a wireless bridge?

I am using an AE to provide airtunes to my living room receiver as well as getting internet connection to my living room PC. The way I have it set up is that I am connecting to my existing wireless network (provided by a dlink dir-655) and then plug in the minijack for airtunes and plug in ethernet cable between AE and PC. I don't have a wireless card in the PC so that's why I connect via ethernet cable/AE.
The problem is that the speed with the AE connected PC when it comes to the web, is quite slow. Many times Youtube just freezes and sometimes never catches back up.
I've checked speeds with speedtest.net and my speeds fluctuate an extreme amount.
Is there a way I should configure the AE better to act as a bridge for my ethernet/AE connected PC?
BTW, I'm only about 25 feet from the dlink wireless router so connection quality should be fine. As both devices support N, I think things should work better!
any suggestions?
Thanks

The newer 802.11n version of the AirPort Express offer an option to configure the base station as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Again, Apple calls this ProxySTA. You configure for a ProxySTA by having the base station join an existing wireless network AND by enabling the "Allow Ethernet Clients" option, located on the Wireless tab within the AirPort Utility.
My point is that, as a ProxySTA, the Express will NOT extend the wireless range of your D-Link router. Instead, it WILL allow wired clients to connect to its Ethernet port for network/Internet access.
In the manual setup settings, I see that there is a wireless setting to extend a wireless network and to participate in a WDS network. Would either of these two be better for what I'm trying to accomplish?
In this scenario, no ... as a WDS would not work because very few non-Apple routers are WDS-compatible. Most likely, your D-Link is not as well ... so your current configuration is the only option for what you are trying to do.
It seems that this current configuration should be rock solid, but perhaps I'm not using the proper setup.
The #1 problem with a ProxySTA is that it does not provide the highest level of bandwidth performance. Typically, for the AXn, the best-to-worst performance would be the following configurations: 1) Wired-to-wireless, 2) Wireless-to-wireless (WDS), and 3) Wireless-to-wired (ProxySTA)
As you can see, the first option would be the best, but it would require that you connect the AXn directly to the D-Link by Ethernet ... which, of course, would tie-up its only Ethernet port so that you could not connect the PC to it as you require.

What's the best way to configure my account when buying software

I have Creative Cloud single-app membership for After Effects (one-year) but want to buy Premiere Pro software as well. What's the most cost effective way to put the two programs into the one package? Can I buy the two as separate packages and just pay $40? I know I can pay $50 and get access to everything but I really don't need the other software programs.

I have two time capsules (1TB, 2TB) and want to use one for another set of Macs (my Family). How do I set both up and keep all the Macs from joining both Time Capsules?

I Have two Time Capsules (1TB and 2TB) and want to set one for business and the other for family - networking seperate Macs to each.

Both should be plugged into the network with ethernet.. if at all possible.
If you have a router already then both bridged otherwise one set to router and one to bridge.
How do you access the TC? Ethernet or wireless?
Are they located in the same area?
You could set different wireless networks.. if they use wireless.. this is nice easy way to do it.
You can set user account in the TC you want the business one to join with.. that will prevent access by the family.
So there is a number of ways.. none are particularly secure btw.. the TC is a home not a business device.. if anybody wants access they press the reset for one second.. pofff all the passwords are default for 5min.. to allow people who forget their password to get access.
On ML you can encrypt TM backups.. this is better for security if that is the problem.. and still use different user profile to prevent access.

What's the best way to configure my thunderbolt drive with the new mac pro?

I have an external pegasus drive connected to my mac pro. Obviously the computer is limited in space and I was wondering whether I should move my "user" folder which will include documents, pictures, videos, etc onto the pegasus. That way the 256gb hard drive on the mac pro is dedicated solely for the os and and apps. What do you guys think?

I concur. See the following:
How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

What's the best way to configure multiple email accounts?

First time poster, just switched over from Blackberry to he iPhone yesterday. I use Mail, iCal, Address Book, iTunes, iWeb, and iPhoto. I have 2 Macs (a Macbook for work and an iMac for home) and an iPhone 3G.
Here's what I want to do:
1) I have 4 email boxes - work (pop3), gmail, yahoo, and mac (are gmail and yahoo imap or pop3?). I need them to all be on the iPhone and synched to each mac. It seems logical that if all the accounts and structure are on MobileMe, then it is the driver of messaging, not one of the Macs. (Is anyone else getting like 1-2 minute response time on MobileMe?) Even with pop3, shouldn't email originated from the iPhone be shown on the Macs? Right now, I have no record on my computer that I ever sent that message other than a "message sent" email in my inbox after the iPhone delivers the email.
2) I have a lot of my mail organized in folders under "On My Mac". I understand from the discussion board that these folders will not synch to MobileMe or the other devices. Question is, where should I move them to make it happen, and what will that look like on the iPhone? Do they have to go in subfolders to each account's inbox? That's a lot of data given the large number of attachments I have and thousands of emails.
3) Aren't iPhoto and iTunes supposed to be included in the MobileMe functionality? I can't figure out how to make that happen. I got photos and music on the iPhone through a physical synch. That doesn't get them on each of my Macs. Will that even work given each computer has to be specifically authorized to play purchased music?
Sorry, I know this is a lot of stuff in a single post, and believe it or not, I am not a technology dummy. But I am a busy guy and simply need to get this working. Apple's documentation is very sketchy.

What is the best way to improve export time in PreE10?

I import the mts files directly from a sd card or HDD using PreE10's importer. Next, I add titles, video/audio fades, and transitions then export to DVD. Right now, my projects are 60min+~4min black video in length and exported directly from PreE10 as SD on a DVD. It takes on average 94min to finish this task.
What can I do/upgrade to speed up this process?
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Professional
-Intel Core i7-3770
8GB DDR3 RAM
SanDisk 128 SSD (OS+Programs)
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD (All media)
GTX 650 1GB
Would buying another SSD help? Would upgrading my processor dramatically improve the time? Or should invest in Premiere Pro and upgrading GPU?
I would like to stay using PreE10, but If there is nothing more that can be done to dramatically improve time, I would consider going to the next level with Premiere Pro.
