What is the best way to install an Airport to a G5?

Hi. My G5 came without a built in Airport card. I've recently bought an Airport Extreme. What is the best way to install an Airport to a G5? Should I buy the Airport card from ebay or some other retailer & do the installation myself OR should I buy it & get somebody professional to install it?

Hello ajdoyle78. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The April 2005 and earlier Power Mac G5s are compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. The later Power Mac G5s (models: M9590LL/A, M9591LL/A, M9592LL/A) are not. Instead, these models require a special combo AirPort/Bluetooth card which must be installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

What is the best way to install qmail?

I'm about to rebuild my server and want qmail on it. What is the best way to install it?
In the past I've used http://qmailrocks.com/ but I've also looked at http://lifewithqmail.com/.
The problem I found with qmailrocks was that because it doesn't come from packages I have to remember to keep it up-to-date and I rarely remember.
There is the package in AUR, can anyone comment on the stability of it and how easy it is to get running after it has been installed?

and in boundaries i create boundaries but not for all branch and enable (boundary group for site assignment ) for every group
What is the best way to install client for all computer
thank u

You basically have 3 options, if you disregard a manual install.
1. Client Push. Configure an account with local admin rights on the clients, and enable Site-Wide pushing of client.
2. GPO. Import the GPO templates and enable the client to be installed that way
3. Startup script.
Of the 3, I usually go with a combination of client push and GPO.
Take a look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx for the complete documentation.

What is the best way to install snapdrive to many hosts?

Hi all, Next weekend, I planed to install snapdrive to over 160 hosts. So what is the best way to install snapdrive? Over 160 UCS hots! I found "remote install" in snapmanager for Hyper-v. This is useful for me? Please let me know easy way to install snapdrive to so many hosts. Thank you.

The current generation of SnapDrive does not support remote installing to multiple hosts.What you saw about HyperV is simply limited to the HyperV host, so it's not remote to multiple hosts across the network.Since SnapDrive has a command line to install, you CAN however script the remote installation.I suggest you find out the exact installation command which works for your environment and use a program like psexec to remotely execute the installation command against multiple targeted servers.If you need help with the script, NetApp Professional Service can be engaged and can even come on site and do it for you, if needed. hope that helps,Domenico

What is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

what is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

It sounds like you have the AirPort Extreme configured as the "main" router on your network.
If that is the case, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Power up the Time Capsule
Connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode = Off
Click the Internet icon, the click the Internet tab
Insure that the setting for Connect Using = Ethernet
Insure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click the Update button at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off....order of power down does not matter
Wait a minute
Power up the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
Power up the Time Capsule next and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
You will need to reset the backup path from your Mac to the Time Capsule to get backups going again
Open System Preference (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backups or Use Disk and backups should begin again in a few minutes
If you do not want to leave the Mac connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet, remove the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule, then log on to the AirPort Extreme wireless network

What is the best way to install new version... adobe always leaves stuff behind from the old version

Hi,
I've gone through the installation of a new version, well... 8 times before. And have noticed that adobe has the nasty habit of not cleanly uninstalling the previous versions...
What is the best way to do this?
Should I do a regular install and trust adobe this time to completely remove the old version and its associated directories?
Or should I uninstall the old version and install the new one? I've always been afraid to go this route bocause of the organizer files.
Thanks for your comments.

So, just to be clear: the "proper, Adobe-recommended" way to go about an upgrade would be to install the new version and THEN remove the older version by means off "Add/Remove programs" ??
Thanks to all for your help.

I would in fact recommend a universal 2.5" and 3.5" to USB that is readily available online. Shouldn't cost more than $15 USD and you can use it for SATA, IDE, and PATA. And besides, you never know when it will come in handy.

What is the best way to link 4 Airport units together wirelessly?

Hi guys,
I have a home with tick walls and creating a decent wireless network was always a challenge. Recently I’ve decided to go for Apple products since I had a 4th gen airport express that worked well for airplay.
I bought a new time capsule, airport extreme, and one airport express. So in total I have 4 apple devices that I can use for creating a good wireless network. But what I found out is that having a full signal doesn’t mean that you will have good speeds, and speeds are really slow like 3Mb/s max on some places on the house.
The way that everything is configured at the moment is that I’ve configured the time capsule to be the main router and with the other three I’ve spreaded them over my house and selected the option to extend a wireless network using Airport Utility 6.2 on OSX.
What is strange that I have a full signal on almost all corners but very bad speeds. I did some research and found a tool that would show what the less crowded channel that you can choose for you wireless network (http://tools.meraki.com/stumbler)
In all my experience of extending a wireless network I’ve always used routers with DD-WRT so I could select the router to be a repeater bridge (and have two distinct networks, with different names) or link the routers with WDS linking them using the MAC address. In both cases all the documentation I’ve read recommended to set all routers of the same network with the same channel.
When I used the stumbler tool to see what channel my network was, since it was set as automatic because it’s the recommendation of Apple documentation, I found out that all 4 routers were operating on different channel on both 2.4Ghz frequencies and 5Ghz frequencies.
What is strange with the wireless network is that sometimes when it is really slow the speed of the internet, if I disconnect from the wireless network and connect again it gets a better connection, like I was connection to a closer router. But after sometime speeds get crappy again, like it changed to the far router again.
My question is, what is the best way to link all this routers together wirelessly? Is there a way to make them to be all on the same channel? Is that important?
On the Airport Utility 6.2 I don’t see any field that would make possible to link this routers using WDS. On the internet I found some documentation for configuring the routers with WDS with the Airport Utility 5.6.
All my routers are updated to the latest version (7.6.3). Please let me know how to proceed to have a decent network on my house. I wouldn’t mind having the network set with different SSIDs but it would be better to use the same network name on all the house.
Thanks in advance,
Tiago

At the moment it is configured like this.

My problem is that the signal its strong but speed isn’t. On Wifi stumbler I saw that every router is set to be on a different channel, they had to be the same no?
If its really slow if I disconnect and connect again from the network. It gets faster, like it connected to a closer router or something.
All are set to extend a wireless network.

What is the best way to install Leopard?

I am hoping for some advice as to the best method to install Leopard - should I erase and install or simply do an upgrade?? Also, is it worth cloning the hard drive or installing Leopard onto a clean hard drive first?? If so, how does one clone a hard drive and then how do you boot from an external hard drive??
Or should I wait for the next version of Leopard (I am a little concerned about all the reports of bugs etc.)??
Any advice would be very welcome - I have had this MacBook Pro (my first Mac) for a year or two now and love it, but I'm not too sure about how to go about all these things.
Many thanks.

Hola Erve,
I would say that if you are hesitant that you should wait for at least rev 1 to come out or once you have found out that all the programs that you need to run are compatible with Leopard. With any major upgrade, you are bound to experience some minor or major issues.
If you decide to install, whatever method you use make sure you back up first!
The best back up mechanism is for you to create a clone of your original drive - this way, if something goes wrong you can revert back to your back up.
See this about cloning:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Computers/docs/sysadmin/mac-clone.html
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2005/06/superduper/
(I'm sure you could find more info you search these forums as well)
After you have made the proper back up, if you want to start clean, I would say that the best way is to erase and install. Know that you will have to reinstall all the applications and move all the files to their correct locations - photos, music, documents, etc.
FYI, I did an upgrade and I have not encountered any major issues. I have even been surprised of the programs that are still running under Leopard!
Anyway, good luck!

What is the best way to install & clone hard drives on macbooks? does apple do that?

It is time for a new hard drive for my macbook - just doiubles the memory, but am still getting the spinning beach ball. The genius bar told me I need a new hard drive, but that I could buy it and out it in myself. But, I just heard that the best way to replace the hard drive is to clone it... and that is beyond my abilities.
Does apple do that??? suggestions? thanks!

Please note that "cloning" a hard drive is not the same as replacing it. You clone the drive to preserve its contents (usually on the drive that will be the replacement). You still have to get into the MB, physically, take out the old drive and install the new one. There are plenty of web sites that tell you how to do this replacement. This is one I like: http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130
The details do vary depending on the vintage of your MB, so if that link is not for your model, try searching the web for instructions specific to your need. Or post back here with details about your Mac.
If Apple did agree to do this for you it would probably cost almost as much as a new MB. (And if you do buy a new MB, my local Mac store will do the data transfer as a bonus!)

What is the best way to install a SSD?

I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I'd like a confirmation as of Mavericks. I have a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD I'd like to install in my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. I also have the HD Caddy to install my existing 750GB into the Superdrive bay. I really don't want to have to reinstall the OS and all my applications. If I do a Time Machine backup to a hard drive that I have, and then install the SSD and 750 GB hard drives what will happen when I hit the power button? How do I get to the external hard drive to recover from Time Machine?
I know there are cloning methods that use enclosures, but I don't have this, while I do have a hard drive I have 1 TB of space left on so I can do a full Time Machine back up.
Thanks in advance,

Ok Ive done everything above and am now back on the laptop. A few questions. First of all, how do I know what drive its booted to? I have the Apple HD installed in the Superdrive slot, and the new SSD where the original drive was (I cloned it like you mentioned above before doing so) When I hit the power button it hesitated slightly at first but I kept holding the button and it turned on. Once it booted into OSX it was pretty slow at first. Is this normal? I have to assume its indexing, etc. Am I free to format the old Apple HD now? Is there a way besides taking the Apple HD out to know what it booted to?
Also when I turned the computer on, I thought the SSD would boot much quicker, but it seems about the same. Is this right or is the computer still booting from the Apple HD in the superdrive slot?
Thanks so much for your help!

What is the best way to install standby database?

Hello.
I'm trying to develop a good scenario for implementing standby database. I've already installed and configured standby. It's working.
Is there any best practice for installing database instance for standby (i.e. using SWPM)?

Hi
If you are talking about an oracle standby database, logic assumption as you are posting in the Oracle space, SWPM won't help you, it is meant for installing SAP instance.
For an Oracle standby DB you need to install an Oracle instance and restore the master DB on it.

What is the best way to Install ilife11 iDVD and iWeb onto an iMac with Maverick

Hi:
I would like to purchase a new iMac. Since this does not come with iDVD or iWeb, I would like to install these two programs from my iLife11 DVD. Will this work?
I assume I would have to do a custom install so I do not overide the newer versions of iphoto and iMovie? Is that correct?
Will I perform the install in typical Mac fashion or do I have to do something special?
Thanks a lot.

There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks. The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.
