What's the best way to link these up?

I'd like to connect the mini, the 4 and the books on a small business network. I thought one would have to be like a server and the others like terminals. I found out that I can connect to any of them through the base station, but the operator has to know the user name and password for the machine they want to connect to. That is no problem as an administrator, but I don't want some operators to have access to all information. Could someone help me with the steps to set this up the most efficient way? Even a direction would be helpful as the support searches are difficult to muddle through...
G5, 3powerbooks, mini, G4, imac, CD630, LC Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First thing I learned, Mr. Radloff, is that I have a lot to learn. I am a plumber not an IT guy. I think I have a different idea of what a network is than what it really is. If I understood you correctly, I would go to each machine and place a home folder,(which I think is the house icon in the lower left of the finder window), with each of the users names, one for the boss, front desk, sales, etc. Then through Airport, each user would log onto "go to server" and be able to mount whatever folder I gave them access to. So we would all have the files that need to be shared, their stuff would have a back up and they could use any apps I placed in their folder. Did I get it? It looked as if biovisier's suggestion is similar but that there be just one user home folder and everyone has access to it. What the hec is a NFS?
What I figured out today is that with Airport on, if I log onto the computers in Appletalk and choose guest, I can see the drop box for each machine. Have I stumbled upon the way to allow file sharing? This wouldn't allow me to have the database on one machine and access it from the others, but despite the lack of efficiency, it was easy to move files once I figured it out.
These two functions are all I really want to do (file and application sharing).
Thanks for the reply, I hope to learn more.

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.

T

Nick,
You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine. (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA). Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert." iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

What are my options for opening EPS files in Elements 13? What is the best way to convert these to another type of vector file?

I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements... uh... mad old... to Elements 13 when my work computer got "upgraded" to Win8. Now I can't open EPS files which is how I receive collateral from our ad agency. What other vector files will work, and how can I convert EPS to these? Please be gentle if this is a stupid question - I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm not an expert at design by any means. I'm just frustrated because this isn't quite the "dead" file type that Adobe thinks it is. What was the point of upgrading if I'm pretty much left in the lurch?
Thanks to any and all who can help! Much appreciated . -ASI

What's important to understand is that Elements is a 'pixel' editor, not a 'vector' editor. As such, it has very limited 'vector' capacity (fonts, shapes...) What you are missing from older versions is the ability to convert vector items to standard pixel image file. To be able to open and work on eps files, you'd need Adobe Illustrator, which seems overkill for your purpose.
So, your options are:
- to request your ad agency to supply pdf format images instead of eps ones. My guess is that eps is beeing largely superseded by pdf, but I am not sure...
- Use external tools to convert from eps to jpeg; a Google search would return free softwares like Irfanview or web based conversion.
- You might want to keep (or reinstall) older Elements versions just for that purpose.

What's the best way to set up my iPad and iPhone through I tunes

I have an iPad and now an iPhone what's the best way to sync these in iTunes I'm assuming I'll use the same account and as such the same music aps etcwill sync on both devices? Also it is best to back up to the cloud and would this allows instant transfer of data between device ie pictures? Thanks

You can use the same Apple ID, iTunes will still be able to tell them apart. If both are on IOS 5.x, you can use backup from the iCloud. To have pictures across all you devices, switch Photo Stream to ON.
Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream.
(Note: Photos that are already in Photo Library will not stream, only those you take after Photo Stream is switched on)

What is the best way to run AirPort Extreme and Airport Time Capsule together?

I have cable DSL, and I was running an AirPort Extreme. DH was sold a time capsule, so I just daisy-chained off the airport. We had an issue with limited reach, so I tried to reconfigure. Now I have no wifi at all. Tried everything I can think of. What is the best way to handle these two products, or should one be left out? Any suggestions would be great.

Decide which one you would like to serve as your router, and configure the other one as a bridge. If they are both the most recent models of each neither one is particularly advantageous over the other.
Connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable if you want to create a "roaming network", or not, if you want to create a "wirelessly extended" network. A roaming network is the better of those two choices.
"Hard reset" the one connected to the modem and use AirPort Utility to configure it. Verify everything works to your satisfaction, then "hard reset" the other and configure it.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

What is the best way to upload icons I created on illustrator, onto a photoshop file of a website design?

I currently in the process of designing a website on Photoshop. I have designed some icons for the website using Illustrator. What is the best way to upload these icons onto the photoshop file and keep them looking crisp and high quality? I have tried a number of ways but all seem to come out pixilated.

What you need to do is make sure you are creating the Illustrator icons at the same ppi as the Photoshop document and at the correct size. If you have created the icons say with 300ppi but are in pixels it won't carry the same properties as the website you are creating if that has been set up as 72ppi and therefore will distort.
Once you have mastered that then you are best (if you think there may be changes to the icons later down the line) to create .ai files of each icon and place them intt the Photoshop document, then if you make any changes to the source .ai file it will update within you website design.
If you don't see the icons changing then you can always just copy and paste directly from Illustrator to Photoshop and make any changes on the fly by making sure you keep it as a smart object.

What is the best way to convert mini dv tapes to digital

I have a Canon ZR800 that I have created several mini dv tapes with. What is the best way to convert these tapes I made to a digital format? I have a Macbook to use for the digital format.

Hello Jhoslter,
To transfer footage from the ZR800 to your Mac, you will need a firewire (IEEE-1394) cable and a firewire port on your computer. If your computer is not equipped with a firewire port, we would suggest contacting your computer manufacturer for information regarding which firewire card will work best on your system.
As it is only possible to transfer video to a computer via firewire connection with the Canon camcorder, any video capturing program that supports firewire connections should be fine to use to transfer video to your computer. Canon does not manufacture video capturing programs or support a particular brand.
Canon does not require firewire drivers for any of our miniDV camcorders. Our camcorders use the driver for your firewire card to communicate with the computer.
The appearance of the "DV IN" message in the camcorder's LCD screen indicates that the camcorder has detected your firewire port and is waiting for a signal from the video editing software to begin the transfer of footage. The remainder of the transfer process is controlled by that software; we would suggest reviewing the instructions for that program for further information.

1 TB of harddrive space actually <60€ .. drag'n drop files, done. instant access for future projects.
1 TB of DVD disk space (4.4GB x 230 pieces, each ~50¢) = ~115€ + hours of work .. hours of re-importing in future use ...
=> I prefer ext. HDD.. 1TB fits ~ 75h miniDV, or 40-60h HiDef imported (using the 'Archive' feature of iM09 much more) ..

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

What is the best way to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.
