Where to post to receive an answer on this?

I have posted this to Windows Compatibility. No response.
I have posted this to IMAC. No response.
Can someone tell me where I can post the following message and get a response. I really need help with this and can't figure out where in the Mac Discussions to go for an answer:
I have a new 300 gig hard-drive in an external firewire/usb enclosure. Beacause I want to use it with our PC-rich home as well as on the lone IMAC, I used fat formatter to format the entire drive as one big fat32 partition.
Now I want to possibly divide it into two or three smaller partitions, but need guidance. I need to get organized
The use of the drive will be:
To back up occasional home movies (Got a bunch I want to get of the Mac to free space) Most of these will be created on the Mac, but may be viewed on the XP Media Center Computer later.
To back up LOTS of photos in both raw and jpeg. These will be edited both on the Mac (with anything BUT Iphoto <grin> and on the PCs. The challenge is that I would like to use a cataloging program like the new Adobe Lightroom to access those files so I can search for an old photo using keywords)
Both my primary PC and my Mac receive my mail, so I am not sure if I need to back that up. One goes, the mail should be on the other.
I don't create many documents.
Should I do some type of full backups using something like Superduper on the Mac and another backup program on the PCs?
(The PCs to backup would be my XP laptop and my husband's desktop. He creates few files. Mine are, as stated above, mainly photographs and email)
I have two other externals that are close to full, a 80 gig laptop one and another internal in an enclosure (160gig with 3 Fat32 partitions and a 60 gig HFS+. The HFS+ is for movie clips since I edit them with IDVD) Too many partitions, I fear. Should I transfer everything off this drive and repartition it too? Too much time? TOo much trouble?
I would appreciate advice on how to parttion my drives and use them wisely.
Amy
PS Is it slower to edit something on an external drive than on the main hard-drive?

I would think that this could be posted in either the iMac Usage forum (rather than the Expanding Your iMac G5 forum to which you posted) or even the Using Tiger forum. You may even get help in the Tiger Installation and Set Up forum. All of those forums are heavily traveled.
Good luck!

    Not sure why you say you didn't receive an answer, since this seems to be your very first message here. Anyway, welcome!
    Adobe Reader cannot add pages to a document, and never could do.
    This is something you can do with Adobe Acrobat, which isn't free.
    Do you have Adobe Acrobat, and if you do, what version is it?

  • How to send te XML data using HTTPS post call & receiving response in ML

    ur present design does the HTTP post for XML data using PL/SQL stored procedure call to a Java program embedded in Oracle database as Oracle Java Stored procedure. The limitation with this is that we are able to do HTTP post; but with HTTPS post; we are not able to achieve because of certificates are not installed on Oracle database.
    we fiond that the certificates need to be installed on Oracle apps server; not on database server. As we have to go ultimately with HTTPS post in Production environment; we are planning to shift this part of program(sending XML through HTTPS post call & receiving response in middle layer-Apps server in this case).
    how i can do this plz give some solution

    If you can make the source app to an HTTP Post to the Oracle XML DB repository, and POST contains a schema based XML document you can use a trigger on the default table to validate the XML that is posted. The return message would need to be managed using a database trigger. You could raise an HTTP error which the source App would trap....

    Hi
    Receiver is FTP only.....
    SAP side is RFC.........
    RFC sender will be initiating the scenario, and there is receiver is File, PI should go to file directory and take the file then send it back to RFC as response.
    Sender: RFC
    Receiver: File
    1. is this scenario with condition based routing.. so that each time outof many receiver systems it will trigger any specific system.
    if above is the case then you can achive this without BPM also..
    Yes...its condition based routing...
    I Used async in this scenario.....sender side configurations also done....

    Hi,
    You can read the documentation about [Content Management Configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/69/d96b7aa84611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] , where you can find a lot of information about [Repository Managers |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/69/d96b7da84611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm] .
    Repositories are used for storing and/or retrieving content and metadata.
    The KM standard configuration uses several internal repositories that are controlled by CM. They are used for storing and staging various content and metadata and for navigating in this data. These repositories are preconfigured and preactivated in the KM standard configuration. You do not normally need to modify their configuration.
    In addition to the aforementioned internal repositories, you can integrate additional external repositories into CM, such as a WebDAV or file system repository. You can establish a connection to these repositories by configuring appropriate repository managers.

  • I don't know where to post my question??

    It is not a support issue but a general question regarding getting the iphone 4 8gb and if it is a dumb move. I can always refuse the pkg when it arrives  tomorrow but I would really like your thoughts. It is Verizon w/2 yr contract. Dumb move? Going for the 4 s would have been a bot smarter. Maybe I just answered my own question.
    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place but as the title states, I did not know where to post it.

    One more quick thing. I know my needs would be met by the 4 8gb because I am one who does very little on a smartphone. I do not watch anything, no videos, don't play games. I do have a small list of music. I am 44 and know the 8gb supports my needs fine
    HOWEVER, my biggest issue that I totally forgot to address, is the support for this outdated phone?? One thing I cannot handle is a slow phone. I do browse the internet on my phone. I text and call, use calendar notes stuff like that. But as I said, biggest cncern is how much longer t continue to get updates and support and speed.

  • I have no idea where to post my question

    I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro. I have so many problems trying to get up and running with this machine, I don't know where to post my questions. My mouse doesn't work right any more, the thing doesn't recognize my printer any more, it won't launch my scanner any more... I have been at this for 4 days now. I just don't know where to begin to ask my questions here I am having so many problems getting this brand new machine to work.
    I was migrating from a Powerbook G4 that worked beautifully. As soon as I got this brand new Macbook Pro and tried to use my Kensington wireless mouse, my HP Laserjet, and Epson flatbed scanner, it seems like the new machine just won't work with any of these items and I don't know where to begin to ask here.
    It took 2 days to get Apple mail working properly on this new Macbook Pro and even my ISP was baffled by the problems encountered.
    Could someone please tell me where I can post my question here about how to get the above stuff working with my new Mac? I am completely exhausted and ready to just return the whole thing.

    Actually Human,
    Here are some possibilities.

  • Where is the GPS receiver located?  I see 3 dots where the infared is...

    Where is the GPS receiver located on the new iPhone 3G? I see 3 dots where the infared sensor is by the handset speaker... Is there an actual receiver? Why can't I find any real tech specs on the subject?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more?

    Yes, there is a REAL GPS receiver that communicates with REAL satellites.
    That answers 'most' of it I did want to know that the new iPhone 3G ACTUALLY gets info directly from satellites (not just relayed from towers).
    I also wanted to know where it was located... But I'm thinking now that it is internal and can not be seen from the outside. Is this possible? does GPS info from satellites go through the shell of the phone to an internal receiver?
    I did some tests myself to see what the small 'dots' did near the 'ear' speaker did. Here is a pic of what I came up with after using a flashlight while covering some up with electrical tape:

  • Need help on where to post

    Can someone point me in the right direction of where to post a problem I have been having. With two different monitors, an apple VGS and a Viewsonic flatscreen, my displays have a fragmented image after going into sreensaver mode. I have searched under keywords "display - monitor, fragmented - image" and can't find anything remotely near my problem. Any suggestions on where to post this or look? Affected - B&W G3/10.3.9 + 9.2.2
    sarahj

    if it happens with two different monitors, and only occurs when the screensaver kicks in, and does NOT happen if you boot in os9 as opposed to running under osx classic, then i'd assume it's a software issue and post in the pre-10.4 osx forum...
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745
    if it happens no matter which os you boot from then i'd assume a hardware issue and post in the appropriate forum for your g3 system...
