What kind of backup speed are you seeing per TB on your EMC?

Mind is currently quite bad and that is why I'm trying OSB.

Well it all depends on your setup and where the bottlenecks are. Having the tape drives attached directly to the EMC is obviously faster than having it backup over the network to another media server. It also depends how fast the EMC is itself at serving the data. Then there is the type of data you are backing up, lots of small files will take longer to backup than few large files (with any backup tool).
I have my tape drives fibre attached and the EMC therefore backs up to its attached drives via that.
Personally I am seeing around 35MB/s, but in lab tests we've seen much higher than that. Our EMC is quite old and that is to LTO-2 tape drives.

AEBS 802.11n - what speed are you seeing ?

I consistently get around 4.5 MB/s syncing from Mac to Apple TV over wireless, using AEBS 802.11n (5 GHz) network.
Is this normal experience for other users ? Seems slow to me.
What would be "normal" for an 802.11n network ?

What kind of data users are coping to their USB drives ..?

We need monitor what kind of data users are coping to their USB drives ..? do we have any scripts which can trigger the emails when the Data is copied to USB drives with File Name , size and location from where they are coping.
Please advise
Kris

If you want to prevent users from copying stuff to their USB drives the best way would be to force a group policy that prevents USB devices from working on local machines. There is no easy way of monitoring file transfer activity via script. What you appear
to be looking for is software which monitors your employees.
What you can do is list the USB Devices that have been attached to the system:
Push-Location
Set-Location HKLM:\
$devices = Get-Item 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\*\*'
Get-ItemProperty $devices |
Select-Object -Property @{Name='SerialNumber';Expression={$_.PSChildName.TrimEnd('&0').split('&')[-1]}}, FriendlyName,Class

What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?

I have zero knowledge of programming. I have done programming about 7 years ago and it was extremely basic stuff and mostly to do with C. I have learnt BASIC language (wonder if its even worth mentioning) in school!! But, I really want to program. Even if it takes a long time. How do I get started??

Your question "What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?" does not have a single answer. Thanks to the internet, nowadays its possible to start from zero. You can find an answer for even the most basic question on the internet. It just a question of time and effort. If you have
the time
no pressing deadline and a
high frustration tolerance
just go ahead and do it.

How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

In the menu bar, open "view", and click "show status bar"
(Or the shortcut to toggle it is CTRL + / )

After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos? Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible. You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom. The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan. Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system. I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

I am going to the verizon store up broadway now to compare ping/3g data on LG Revolution and this
i already saw the Thunderbolt way way faster but I sense that phone ,might make me crazy in ways this Charge could never but I will check it out too as there have been incremental upgrades through July 18 or so that keep working at that phone's issues.
one has to know the tricks for this device but I love this charge let me see how much a 3G speed difference really makes when loading same complex webpages w/videos like NASA.

What kind of cool things can you do with the ipad and macbook combined?

I was wondering what kind of cool things can be done between the macbook pro and the ipad mini. For example syncing and other ways of communication between the two devices.

How to sync
Enable "Find my iPad" in Settings > iCloud. Put your name on the back. Losing it is not cool.
Make it easy for someone to find you when you misplace it:
Tape a business card to the back.
If that is inelegant then make a pretty label with a phone number so that when you lose it, there is the possibility you can be reunited with it and perhaps meet someone nice as well.
Enable "Find my iPad" in Settings > iCloud. This enables you to send a message or play a loud noise should you misplace it.
Disable "in-app purchases" in Settings > General > Restrictions. This prevents unauthorized or unintentional purchases, some of which are expensive. You will need a password. Don't forget your password.
Sync it to a computer running iTunes. Back up the computer because the iPad is not a backup. If it's a Windows computer, have several backups. Windows computers die with predictable regularity for a number of reasons. Your iPad is synced to one and only one computer at a time, so if its mate is lost then its content will be erased when you replace your computer. Extracting content from your iPad is not trivial and not free.
The Remote app enables you to control your MacBook's iTunes library remotely, along with an AirPort Express, you have a remote control for your stereo.

Are you seeing a colour shift in 720p and 1080p h.264 slideshow exports?

When I export video from Lightroom 3 (or 3.2), I see that 720p and 1080p output can be very different in colour from other resolutions. It's as if my display profile were being ignored when playing back those particular resolutions.
Playback client: Apple's QuickTime Player X on Mac OS X 10.6.4. If I use VLC or QuickTime Player 7, colour is consistent across all export resolutions but is consistently wrong compared with the original photographs. (Again, it's as if the ICC display profile is being ignored.)
Display profile: my display is profiled and the profile is an ICC v4 file but I can reproduce the issue with some v2 profiles, as well.
AVC vs h.264
One oddity (that might be a peculiarity of QuickTime Player) is that when I view the 720p and 1080p movies, and ask for information about codecs (command-i), QuickTime Player X tells me that these two movies use AVC encoding. For all the other sizes, it says claims h.264. My understanding is that these two are effectively the same thing; on the other hand, it's curious that the two sizes showing different colour from the rest are identified differently. And QuickTime Player 7 claims AVC for all resolutions and always gets the colour wrong.
Is this just a QuickTime Player X bug? It gets colour right for all resolutions except 720p and 1080p, and provides a clue by saying the movie uses the AVC codec? Or is this an encoding issue?
Other sizes are fine
Exporting and playing back any other h.264 movie size, from 320 pixels right up to 960 pixels, provides perfectly acceptable colour in QuickTime Player X .There's a slight shift compared with the originals but nothing dramatic, and it's consistent across different sizes.
Any thoughts? Can you reproduce the problem?
I've tested this on a bunch of different Macs but they're all running 10.6.4. Can anyone see this problem? Would anyone like to test on Windows and report back? The results seem to vary wildly depending on your display profile and how far it is from a canned profile so if you really want to be sure of seeing the differences, switch your display to "Wide Gamut RGB" for the playback test, then compare the 720p/1080p files with the rest, including the sRGB reference.
Would anyone like to tell me I'm being a complete idiot and overlooking something blindingly obvious? I won't be upset.
I was just about to post a note on the blog but thought I'd better post something here first. I'll probably ask readers to provide feedback here rather than on the site. I get the feeling that this issue won't be a big deal for most people.
Some examples for download
I have a zipped collection of single-image slideshows generated by Lightroom at each available resolution, together with a 960-pixel JPEG (sRGB) of that same image to act as a reference. You can download it here (5.9MB). For the moment, you'll probably have to ignore the URL that you see in the slideshows and in the Read Me file—it points to the blog post that I was preparing but which I haven't yet published. I'll do that next so anyone reading the blog will come here and post.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if I'm being dumb about something.
Update
I've added a 720x480 file that shows the same problem and updated the URLs shown in the movies and the Read Me file.

Bahi,
just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
Next is Snow Leopard:
Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

Want to hear about vCAC when used with Cisco UCS Director... How are you seeing this done?

I have a client that has both VMware vCloud Automation Center, and Cisco UCS Director.
They wish to constuct a net-new (Greenfield) data center and are hearing from both VMware and Cisco.
I have researched, and found little regarding the merger of the two.
I realize that very likely vCAC is teh "main" management platform, while Cisco UCSD will handle the more "physical hardware" tasks.
REST API's will be leveraged as well.
What have you seen written and done in this space when using BOTH?
Please send me any thoughts or links to relevant data.
I am having a hard time locating good data so that I an advise the client in a good way.

What kind of iphone case do you use?

About one year ago, I bought an incipio silicon case at at&t for my iphone 3g. It was good, but the plastic part was broken in two months.
I bought an iPhone 3GS three months ago and got a crystal-clear case from icarecase. It is a good deal, only $7.99 including shipping. My iPhone has full protection now and it looks nice. The only thing is that I hope it can be slimmer and still keep my iPhone fully protected.
I chatted with icarecase customer service rep, they said they have other cases which are very slim, 0.6 to 0.7 mm, but they are not crystal clear. I will think about it.
What kind of case do you use?

Greetings,
Case-Mate - Signature Leather IPH3GC-PB. It's real leather, it's not bulky, and nice to work with. The plastic, and silicone ones, are not the best fitting, and stretch out of shape when it gets hot. They can be difficult to remove the phone from over time, and can be awkward to hold and manipulate.
You can't beat real leather, and it has a stiffener, to help provide good grip, and to hold the shape. It offers a decent degree of protection from dropping it from a small distance.
I've had one of these since the very first iPhone. They are only $34.95 cheap, and worth every penny.
Cheers,
M.

What model/brand external HD are you using?

I am looking for a 2-3TB HD. I bought the Seagate 3TB External HD for MAC/PC it kept stalling my itunes. It also went to sleep but wpould never wake up. I would have to disconnect it and reconnect it every time. Seagate told me to download a keep awake program for the HD but i dont want it to stay awake. I want it to wake up everytime the mac wakes up. I know its possible because i have a 500GB Buffalo HD and it starts up when its supposed to. And when i downloaded the software to wake it up it still went to leep and never woke up.please help .....
I need it for iTunes and imovie-movies.
I want to be able to free up all the space that is taken up by my music and movies and move it to the external. I still want to access it on a daily basis to listen to music.

Hello again, Jorge.
I keep thinking about your situation and the simplest, best answer is that I have no real answer. I'll just tell you the ideas that have been whirling around in my head...
You said: "And to wake it back up i hae to disconnect the power to it and reconnect."
- You mean it won't wake back up if you double-click its icon on the desktop?
I've never really tried to do what you want to do with a worry about sleeping, but I'm supposing that if you have your iTunes directing itself toward a depository of music on the external drive, that double-clicking on a song in an iTunes playlist would wake up most any external drive when you actually need to have it waked up--that is, that somewhere under the hood the system will locate the external drive and force it to start up so it can meet the demand of the iTunes' command you just initiated. If that doesn't work, then a double-click on the external's drive icon certainly should work. If that double-click on the drive's icon doesn't work, then something is wrong.
The question would be where the "wrong" resides-- with your operating system or with the drive (either the drive's hardware, its drivers, or much less likely, some interfering application programming residing on the external).
You said: "I know its possible because i have a 500GB Buffalo HD and it starts up when its supposed to."
- You mean that you've just now tried the Buffalo with this exact same system in its current condition and it wakes up when the system wakes up on the main hard drive but the new Seagate won't wake under the exact same conditions, nothing different at all?
- With both drives did you use Apple's disk formatting? Or was one formatted using a manufacturer's drive formatter?
If you didn't use Apple's software to format the Seagate external, then maybe try a clean erasure and reformat using Apple's Disk Utility (that's included with the system) on it? Format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Maybe that might help, or at least make the external drive's icon double-clickable so you don't have to unplug it to get it to awake. I have two Seagate external drives and have formatted them using Apple's Disk Utility. They have performed flawlessly here butc my idea of flawless is that I like for them to stay asleep once they go to sleep. That is, unless I click on one of their files to use it, or some software on my computer in finding a file does the opening for me.
If a double-click on the external drive's icon DOES wake it up, but the problem is that you're looking for an automatic wakeup when you wake up your main hard drive--so no double-click is necessary--then that might reflect a difference in your two different external drives' drivers.
The times my external hard drives have gone to sleep I've been grateful because, while they're all very quiet drives, they're not totally without sound... and the few times I've left one on during display sleep (like the other night all night for SuperDuper! to work), I've been happy to have the external drive stay asleep, even when touching the mouse to restart my iTunes' music (which I store nowadays on the main hard drive).
I don't really know, but I'm just guessing that if you can restart your Seagate external with a double-click and that drive is satisfactory in every other way, you might as well keep it. All my externals, including this Iomega, two Seagates, and an Acom, have operated the same way in every way that I noticed: they will come back from sleep with a double-click either on the external drives' icons or a click/computer call-up of one of its files.
If and assuming you can restart your external Seagate with a double-click on its icon I'm also thinking that your Seagate external's behavior might be normal and controlled by your OS X system, especially since for most situations most people might prefer that their external drive stay asleep when not actively being used.
Bottom line suggestions: If you can't restart your Seagate with a double-click, check the 500GB Buffalo HD again now with this exact system in this condition. If it works as you'd like, then the problem is likely either with the Seagate hard drive itself or, more likely, with its driver and formatting. Try reformatting the Seagate using Apple's Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended.
If you can't fix the Seagate problem by reformatting it, then you're probably in the market for a new external drive (or a Seagate replacement as you explain to the Seagate company exactly what's going on and what the warranty is). Before you do that, you might try reformatting and reinstalling your system.
Most people are traumatized to think of a reformat. But (with very good backups) I've done reformats. Reformatting is no big deal and can often save time overall when one thing after another is going wrong. A reformat/reinstall can sometimes save a pile of headaches.
If everything you try fails, then you have no other choice than to buy a new external. Maybe just a larger Buffalo drive this time around? (I admit I never heard of that brand, but if you were happy with your old one, a bigger one of the same brand makes sense.)
As I said, I don't really know what's going on with your computer/external drive. But you have my sympathy!
Best wishes,
Mary
