It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Where should itunes folder be located windows 8

where should my itunes folder be when i installed on pc i put it here Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\ put i found another itunes folder in mydoculments folder and it says that is where it was put after itunes 11. so which one do i need

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
It may be that you are seeing an alternate path provided for backwards compatibility and there is really only one iTunes folder. The one you should be using is C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes. The "My" or "User's" bit gets added on to the name of the Music folder depending on which user you are logged in as, but in reality the folder is simply called Music. Windows Vista and susequent versions attempt to support references to ...<Profile Folder>\My Documents\My Music and redirect to ...<Profile Folder>\Music.

I was able to restore openJDK7 back to my computer.
before it was giving me a bash error stating that "bash java: command not found"
now i have it back...
I've also deleted the Oracle Java JDK 8 that i downloaded from Oracle itself.... by removing it in the /opt as was suggested to install it there
all thanks to @x33a for providing me an AUR link for JDK8:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk
i installed this package by using:
cd Builds
tar -xzvf jdk.tar.gz
cd jdk
sudo makepkg -s --asroot
[password]
then the installation begins
but when i type java -version
its still giving me the openJDK7..
anyway to solve this?
think it has something to do with $PATH... but i have no idea how to work that...

Which Oracle Version or Product to download and install for Personal Use

Hi everyone,
I hope all of you is well.

I really appreciate your help from now on.
Many thanks

Is it legal to 'stream' from iTunes radio stations for personal use?

I have tried to search references to this issue on this forum. Apologies if I have missed them.
Is it legal for me to stream songs from iTunes radio stations ( using for example Streamripper) and to subsequently transfer them to my iPod for personal use?
Am I infringing copyright if I do or have the radio stations already paid copyright?
I am sorry to have to ask this very basic question but I can't get clear guidance elsewhere and it bothers me.
Thank you.

dlowe,
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but I would use the analogy of video taping your favorite show on TV to watch later (or using a DVR). This, I believe is considered "fair use" of the product via what is called "time-shifting." This was the conclusion from the U.S. Supreme Court in the Betamax decision.
As long as you don't offer the show for sale, I think you're okay.

Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?

Afternoon all,
Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring. He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server? The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
1. How would the two servers communicate?
    a.)Do they need to communicate?
3. How will mail across the two sites work?
    a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
    b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
4. How will calendaring work across the two sites?
Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Anthony

Camelot,
many thanks for the speedy reply. Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on. So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around? In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
Kind Regards
Anthony

Where should i buy RAM for my iMac??

Where or what website should i purchase RAM from.
i am looking to upgrade my Imac 27" (fall 2013)
i like to go from 8GB to 16GB or possibly 32GB
will be working on FCPX. lots of video editing.
someone suggested www.macsales.com
and suggested using OWC upgrades.
anyone have any advice ???
thanks

My advice. so mileage may vary.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, by itself, can eat up 4 GBs of RAM.
If you install only 16 GBs of RAM, this really leaves only 12 GBs of a usable RAM for other applications.
You do not, necessarily, have to install the complete 32 GB of RAM.
You could install 20-24 GBs of RAM and will, probably, still be in good shape, in terms of RAM.
What is really needed for video editing is a fast CPU and powerful GPU ( at least 1 GB VRAM) and lots of hard drive space.
So, I would recommend investing in two fast USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt external hard drives.
One drive (1 or 2 TB storage size) for a working drive for data and editing of Final Cut files and one other drive ( 2 TB or larger data storage space) to use as a complete computer data backup drive solution.

Where should itunes content be stored?

on the operations drive or a separate data drive? I routinely run both Adobe Photoshop and iTunes, and my impresseion is that iTunes seems to work more smoothly when songs and video are stored on the operations drive, but Photoshop runs more smoothly when the iTunes content is stored on a separate data drive? Also, keeping iTunes content on the operations drive seems to reduce the number of issues related to updating itunes and syncing itunes-dependent playlists and the like.
I've got a new PC with clean drives, and I'd like to get this right the first time.

If the boot drive is used for things like scratch drives, it can slow the system down (a bit or a lot) because the OS uses the boot drive for swap files and such.
Do you mean to imply that when itunes accesses content on the 'operations' drive, it does not compromise the performance of other, open applications that are using the c drive for on-going programming operations?
iTunes does read/write from the HD all the time but it should not noticeably slow down anything.

R12 install for Windows using cygwin

I am installing R12 over Windows 2003. I am using Cygwin as pre-requisites.
But I am facing several difficulties. The rapidwiz is checking the existence for Visual Studio and Mks.
I do not know the values to be set at rapidwiz for MKS and Visual Studio

I do not know the values to be set at rapidwiz for MKS and Visual Studios_MSDEVdir=C:\VCPlus\VC --> This is the directory where you have installed MS Visual C++ 8.0
s_MKSdir=C:\cygwin\bin --> Assuming you have installed 'Cygwin' in 'C:\cygwin'

Dear Yoga 2 Pro owners - should I buy this for business use?

I'm a Lawyer and looking for an ultra book to do the majority of my work on.
My only requirements are good keyboard and trackpad, durability, high quality screen to make reading and creating documents as friendly on the eyes as possible, great wireless connection, speed, and for it to last hopefully 2 years before needing an upgrade.
I use acrobat pro and office 2013 extensively.
Will the Yoga 2 Pro be a good choice for me, or should I wait for the thinkpad x1 carbon to be released in my country? (UK).
Thanks for any help you can provide

The 1800p resolution is a gimmick since programs are not really capable with this resolution. That said, you will probably reduce the resolution to at least 1080p or worst. I use 900p because some programs even struggle with 1080p.
This model has wifi issues which is present on certain models of routers using 2.4 ghz band. Many have been lucky to be around new routers. However, you cannot tell a hotel, airport or coffee shop to change the router just for you. I personally suffer from wifi issue at my school. I have already made a batch file to reconnect instantly but, this is utter BS for a $1200+ laptop (don't forget tax).
The yellow issue is better but not perfect. In some modes, the mustered color is still present. I solved the issue by deleting those power plans from my computer. However, this is not an acceptable solution. That said, even on the fixed power plan, there is a slight green tint on the yellow. Also, Microsoft Office yellow (like the highlighter) looks like crap on all power plans.
The backlight on the keyboard is really dull compared to many backlit keyboards.
The trackpad deselects what you selects, if you crank up the trackpad speed. For me, the default speed is too slow. (However, it can be fixed by using a dell driver)
The micro HDMI slot is too recessed. You will need to buy special cables or cut your cables to fit the yoga.
The SD slot has little depth. This means there is not a SD card in the market that will sit flush with the laptop. This is a deal breaker if you want to have an SD card act as a semi-permanent extra storage solution.
The trackpad is a grease magnet and will look bad within 72 hours of use.
You cannot lock this version of OKR. This means that unlike the previous version (which cannot be installed), anyone can be a di** and reformat your computer with a push of a button.
The fan goes crazy within about 30 min of light use.
The screen flickers at low brightness.
Almost everyone has light bleed on their screen, to some degree.
It is impossible to clean smudge marks on the yoga's back shell.
There is an overheating issues when the yoga is placed inside a bag, while in sleep mode.
The edges chip easily.
The Bluetooth constantly disconnect and a Bluetooth mouse is practically un-usable, useless you have a USB receiver (taking up 1 of 2 USB ports).
Speaking of which, 2 USB ports.... Really? Also, why can't they both be USB 3.0? Or the USB 2.0 also be an eSATA/USB combo jack?
Part of the keyboard driver, built into the Utility.exe file of the Power Management software, sucks. There are certain keys that will do nothing 1/2 the time they are pressed. The airplane mode key is one of them.
Lenovo custom install makes upgrading to a different version of windows difficult. To upgrade to Windows 8.1. Pro for example, you will need to jump through hoops and suffer from a failed update(s) to actually get Windows 8.1 Pro. I am lucky the feature I wanted works (in spite of the failed updates) but, I would not be surprise if certain features don't work since the upgrade failed 3x.
Oh and if you are a Dargon users, I hope you don't plan on updating your program. However, I will leave it at that since software can be uninstalled, like the buggy phone companion software (which sporadically works on limited ICS versions and rare JB versions).

Where should iTunes database etc. go?

If I keep my songs on an external hard drive (plugged into my laptop), should I remove all iTunes directories, etc, from my laptop hard drive?
If not, what files go on the laptop?
I just installed an update to iTunes, but iTunes still shows the old version, even after closing and reopening iTunes. I also intermittently get the ! in front of songs.

If you want to move your iTunes Library to an external drive you have to make an exact copy including all the files within that folder, not just the folder containing the music. Then you start iTunes while holding down the option key and you will be asked to choose a Library. Navigate the the Library on the external disk and iTunes will open that (as long as it's valid) and stick with it through future reboots until you choose another Library. You can leave the original Library in place if you like, it makes no difference - iTunes will ignore it until you tell it to use that Library again.
Note that if your Library is on an external disk you must have that disk mounted before you open iTunes or it won't see the Library.
A '!' next to songs means that iTunes can't find the media file - if it was in the Library it may have been moved, or if you copied the Library over it didn't bring all the files over - or if you keep your music files outside the iTunes folder ( this is available as an option) you've moved some of the files.

I have a large music collection in My Music which is where my Itunes music is. I use Itunes match now and possibly it is what is causing my problems but can't be sure. I keep getting a new My Music folder when I go into itunes so I have 2. what can I do

Hi. I have a very large my music folder on my C drive. This is were all of my music is including itunes. However, when I go into itunes, it sets up a new my music folder. If I erase the new folder, it comes back the next time I go into itunes. It is just a very small folder vs. the large 132 GB file named My Music. What is this new one and why does it keep getting generated vs. Itunes just using the large My Music folder that has all my music. The small My Music it creates is 134 MB. Does this have something to do with using Icloud and Itunes Match? I find it confusing to have two my music folders.

Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor. The pro version of iMovie.
Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow. It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them. You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version). Personal preferences showing here.

How can you manage data usage when cellular data is off, but you are using WiFi where your WiFi provider charges for data use?

I spend quite a few months each year in Canada where I use a Telus Cellular Hub device which is also my WiFi Router. My iPhone 5 has Cellular Data set to "Off" which insures I won't be charged via my Verizon Wireless Service Provider for charges while in Canada. Trouble is Telus, Rogers and all the Canadian Internet Providers charge for all Data going through their Systems. Again, My Cellular Data on the iPhone 5 is turned off, but I use WiFi for such things as checking the Weather, or FaceBook, or searching the Web.
I believe that things may be happening in the background from various Apps that use quite a lot of Data. It could be that iCloud is part of the issue with things being backed up automatically. It also could be that Apps like AP or other News Apps are sending large amounts of Data in the photos associated with their New Stories, etc. I typically turn off the App Store "Updates" such that they don't automatically load. The FaceBook works now posted videos play when you are just scrolling through the News Feed.
I have been trying to fine an article somewhere which focuses on this specific problem but unfortunately many if not most articles are about folks worried about using Cellular Data while in a WiFi environment when their Cellular Data is turned on.
Does anyone know of a fairly comprehensive article about what settings on which Apps might reduce the Data Usage when Cellular Data is turned "Off" but you are going through a Service Provider who charges for all Data Accessed even when you are using WiFi?

Thanks for your comments, it is clear you understand my plight. The trouble is fully understanding what Apps and App Features are transferring data in the background any time you happen to turn WiFi to on (even if you have had it off most of the day or night). Obviously things like Location Services can constantly be sending and receiving data from my iPhone without any action on my part. Also if you have things like photo backup on the iCloud then each time you take a photo you are sending a copy out. All App Updates if set to Automatic also can add up to quite a bit of Data. Reading the News on AP or scrolling through FB News Feed is actually adding up to a lot of Data. There could be other culprits that I am not even thinking of. I don't want to turn Apps like Find My Phone off or turn iCloud off due to loosing the value of such a program entirely. Again thanks for your quick response.

Is it possible to have two different iTunes versions installed, by just using a different install folder on Win7, pointing at the same music resource?

I really don't like the new version of iTunes, with CoverFlow removed. Makes navigation very poor IMO.
Can I go ahead and just install an older version with CoverFlow still present in another Win7 folder, and point it at the same music resource?
Very poor decision by iTunes to omit this popular preference - and unless its put back in quickly, can see peopl leaving when they feel their config has gone.

I don't really want the hassle of uninstalling the 'latest' (****) version, as it might mess my system, plus, at some point, this will be upgraded, and I reckon with CoverFlow put back in! SO, I would upgrade this as my 'main install'.
The older one, I would use temporarily, until put CoverFlow back into its newer releases, if you see what I mean.
So, my question is implicit and more specific - can I have two different version installed, in different folders/locations, without causing conflicts I don't wanna uninstall the new one just to put the old one back on.
Very bad that iTunes put me in this position, really.
