What is the correct way to set a web application to use HTTP or HTTPS?

In the past I've always created an HTTP web application as the default zone. Then extended the web app, creating a new IIS website on port 443 and enabled SSL. This seems to have worked fine, but I recently read an article stating that it is not good to
extend a web app unless absolutely necessary. So can someone tell me what the proper way is to configure a single web application to work with HTTP and HTTPS?

Extending the web application to support both HTTP and HTTPS is a perfectly good method and in fact is the only way to have a web application support both so what you've done is fine.
If the web application will only use HTTPS, you can set this up when you first create the web application. Specify port 443 and the SSL option (and ensure the URL has an https://) when creating the web application. You'll need to install the certificate
in IIS once the web application has been created.

What's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard

Hi
what's the correct way to set up an external style playing keyboard?
i want the keyboard to use the Logic's voices, and also to record the midi that is being inputed.
I can do it on One Channel, but when I selct multiple channels, all the channels seem to play all of the input data!!!
anybody??

Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

What is the correct way to set up artwork for a Billboard?

I need to set up photoshop artwork (which consists of about 5 layers) for a 6m x 3m billboard. I set up my whole billboard in Illustrator (at 3m x 1,5m - half of actual size) and placed the psd image in. I set up my photoshop artwork at a third of actual size (3m x 1m at 300dpi). However, this made my file VERY slow to work with (result was about 700mb!!!!). Someone suggested that I downscale the image to 500mm wide and choose resample image > Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction). This scaled my psd file to about 32mb, which worked much faster. Then I saved the psd file as a Tiff with LZW compression without layers and placed into my illustrator file. However, when I export for print as PDFX1a- 2001 my file size was only 17mb!!!! Did I do the whole process correctly?! Will the print quality still be fine for such a big billboard? Is there a better / standard way to set up photoshop graphics for a billboard?

You can use this test to check ppi resolution.
On your desktop printer print a few tiles from the image in real size at different ppi resolutions like 10, 20, 30, 40. Find a wall where you can mark 6 meters, and tape the tiles on it. Now step back to whichever is longer distance - from where you can see comfortably the whole size of the eventual billboard without turning your head or to the distance that will be possible to see the actual mounted billboard, . Choose the ppi resolution on which you can't see pixelation on the printed test tiles.

What is the correct way to set up your email accounts in your desktop computer?

In an effort to resolve all sorts of strange behavior taking place with my email, I've been looking into the settings for icloud and Mail, the app. Is there a difference between the "mail, contacts &calendars" settings in system preferences of your desktop computer and the actual account settings in Mail, the app?
More specifically, do I only enter my individual email accounts in the account settings for Mail, and only the icloud settings for my me account in the system preferences section?
I hope I'm making sense because I need help desperately.
Thanks in advance

To answer the OP's original question.
Both the System Preferences -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars AND the Mail.app -> Accounts route both take you to the system preferences pane.
Just so you can confirm it, try both methods to get to the accounts list, and at the top left of the particular window you'll see 'Show All' which takes you back to System Prefs.
I think it's just apples way of getting everyone to the right place i.e. those who are use to using system prefs and those who are used to setting up accounts in their mail apps
That's good old apple and their user friendly interfaces for you

What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

In brief:
Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
Thanks.

Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
Here's some good reading as well

What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
Class CalendarBean()
private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
+..+
+public CalendarBean() {+
super();
activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
setEd.add("Work");
setLen.add("Home");
activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
+}+
+}+
Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
+#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
being an illegal cast
What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?
Ed Schechter

A colleague of mine was kind enough to solve this:
The calendar has ActivityStyles property = #{calendarBean.activityStyles}
CalendarBean looks something like this:
package com.hub.appointmentscheduler.ui.schedule;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.CalendarActivityRamp;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.InstanceStyles;
+public class CalendarBean {+
private HashMap activityStyles;
private String dummy;
+public CalendarBean() {+
+// Define colors+
activityStyles = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
HashSet setPending = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setArrived = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setApproved = new HashSet<String>();
HashSet setCompleted = new HashSet<String>();
setApproved.add("APPROVED");
setPending.add("PENDING");
setArrived.add("ARRIVED");
setCompleted.add("COMPLETED");
activityStyles.put(setApproved, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.GREEN));
activityStyles.put(setPending, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
activityStyles.put(setArrived, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.PLUM));
activityStyles.put(setCompleted, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.LAVENDAR));
+}+
+public void setactivityStyles(HashMap activityStyles) {+
this.activityStyles = activityStyles;
+}+
+public HashMap getactivityStyles() {+
return activityStyles;
+}+
+}+
Now, go into the Bindings tab on the calendar page, double click the calendar binding, and specify the column you've defined as the calendar's Provider in the Tags dropdown.
Should show colors.

What is the correct way to destory a Thread?

Just wondering what is the correct way to destroy a thread? I am currently using the stop() method, but i noticed that it has been depreciated (along with other methods used to destroy a thread) when i looked at the thread documentation. Since this is so, then how can one correctly destroy a thread? Thanks in advance for the help.

There is an awful lot of bad advice in this thread about what null does. Please in future check on your own with working code before offering up misguided and very wrong advice. Particularly when your advice contradicts that previously given.
Please compile and run the following
public class Test implements Runnable{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
    Test test = new Test();
    Thread t= new Thread(test);
    t.start();
    // have delay wait a few seconds to demonstrate
    Thread.sleep(3000);
    System.out.println("Setting reference to thread to null");
    t = null; // what does this do?
    // jack all
    System.out.println("Exiting main");
public void run(){
    while(true){
      System.out.println("Hello from test thread!");
      try{ Thread.sleep(750); }catch(InterruptedException iDontCareAboutThis){}
}This will output the following
C:\>java Test
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Setting reference to thread to null
Exiting main
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!
Hello from test thread!And continues on endlessly. Setting the reference to null is NOT an answer to this problem.

HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless. A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

What is the best way to set up iTunes on our home network so all family members have access to all of our itunes library, even music we don't have on the cloud?

I have five different people using 10 different apple devices on one itunes account in our family. We have had trouble sharing. What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? We have purchased music that sits on icloud, but we also have music we have imported from our previous cd library. Our itunes program keeps crashing and dumping everyone's playlists. So far we have all been using just the one desktop computer to sync to because we can't figure out how to share the same librarly and playlists on multiple computers in our home so devices can be synced at any location as well as playlists and purchases be made.

One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.

What Is The Best Way To Set Up Kids iTouch To My iTunes?

I have an iTouch set up with my iTunes music, movies and apps, but now I gave my kids each an iTouch.
What is the best way to set up there account, should it be a unique account for each of them or should I put them under my account?
They will be using my same iMac when they sync or update there iTouch, so will they need to log in under their name every time?
Not sure what is the best way to set this up, they are both minors, i.e. no credit card.
Thanks

Better just your account for multiple devices. The only drawback is that the music will have to managed manually.
Connect one of the iPods to your computer then launch iTunes. You should see the iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Double click then you can name each iPod to keep them separate but only syncs to your iTunes account.
Without knowing your Apple ID user name and password they would not be able to make purchases ergo no downloads you aren't aware of.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

What is the best way of setting up Family Sharing?

I just bought my son an iPad Mini and I am trying to decide on what is the best way of setting it up for him. The one thing I do know is that I do NOT want all the content that is my iPhone 6 to pop up on his iPad Mini. I want his iPad to be used for his games and educational stuff and his own music. I don't mind setting up a family photo album and share photos with the family. So is the Family Sharing option the best way of doing this based on what I just mentioned? Do I set him up with his own Apple ID? If so will everything still be based off my account so he won't have to create his own iTunes Library?
I always use iTunes gift cards to purchase music and content. Will I be able to continue to use them even if I want to put some new content on his iPad and not my iPhone? Do I enter in his Apple ID info. Can you restrict certain family members to just certain things for example you only want to share photos with one person whereas you might want to share your music with another family member?
Any suggestions on the best way of setting this up would great!
Thanks!

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
