Yet another question about NAS Drives and Sharing.

Please can someone help me as this is massively frustrating.
OK, so I have 2 computers (A desktop and a laptop).
Originally my iTunes library was on my desktop but it was getting to big so I bought a NAS. Following the instructions you provided elsewhere I and moved my 20,000 songs / artwork / playlists etc successfully to the NAS, I changed my library in Edit > Preferences > Advanced to L:\Music\Music. When I go onto iTunes from my Desktop everything is from the NAS is displayed in Library > Music and works perfectly.
The problem I have is when I try to access the NAS from the laptop. I have no music stored on the C: drive of the laptop so figured that I should have no problems with just mapping the NAS to the L: drive like I did above and following the same steps as above I should see all the songs in the the Music Library but that is NOT happening. I have changed my library in Edit > Preferences > Advanced to L:\Music\Music but get nothing. Why have I got no music in my library?
I'm happy for a solution to involve having the NAS as a Shared drive but one that doesn't entail always having to have the Desktop on and iTunes on.
I can access the music on my NAS via Home Sharing but everytime I turn my desktop off the music library disappears (but I'd expect this and, anyway I don't want this to be a workaround).
I can get to this music fine via Windows Media, I can even stream it via Rockplayer on my HTC phone.
Am I doing something dumb? Also anything that you can help in terms of the best settings to have for sharing / NAS storage would be great as well.
I'm running the latest version of iTunes (10.2.*) on both machines.
Thanks in advance.

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is the format recorded by this camera?
How did you capture/ingest your video material in FCE?
What was your sequence format in timeline?
How did you export your sequence (specify exact steps, menus and command)?
What was your iDVD project settings?

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

Yet another question about installing ilife 06 with limited drive space

I received iLife 2006 as a gift for my birthday. I am a happy user of most the iLife 2005 programs (except iDVD, which is useless on my machine with only a Combo drive). I am interested in making use of iWeb and the other improved features of iLife 2006.
My problem is that my 40 GB drive is nearly full, with about 2 GB free. Of this, my iTunes library uses about 15 GB, and the IPhoto library takes another 2 GB or so. I do have a 60 GB iPod with about 25 GB free.
I have read about complications with restoring the iTunes Library from the hidden folder on the iPod. But I wonder if the library could be more easily backed up to the iPod, temporarily deleted from my main hard drive, then restored after installing iLife 2006 (I have read that somewhat less than the full 10 GB is needed after install is complete).
Alternatively, will the iLife 2006 installer allow me to install to the iPod as an external drive, from which I can make adjustments as needed?

You can tell your wife that if you don't get an external hard drive to store your iTunes and iPhoto Library you are a prime target to lose your images and tunes.
Yes, using iWeb you get a new url. I used Contribute to do the fiveafertfive.com site for my daughter's band.
iWeb can create very nice pages and you can see many of them by visiting this link on the iWeb forums. It's eight pages long and lots of sites to look at.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1705138#1705138
Unfortunatley, the ability to send albums directly to .mac is no more with iPhoto 6. You can only send them to iWeb to make your page. Then in iWeb you publish your page to your idisk in a different folder.

Yet Another Question About External Hard Drives

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone could recommend any good external hard drives. I'm confused on what to get considering there never seems to ever be a good one from reviews I've read! Western Digital and Lacie being probably the main culprits.
I'm looking for at least a 500gb with a fire wire connection (as I'll probably do some editing with it too).
Cheers!

Let's demystify external hard drives. It consist of two parts- hard drive itself, which is called internal hard drive- either 2.5 (available for laptops as an internal ) or 3.5 inch. There some other for factor, but these 2 are most common. 2.5 inch (external hard drive) usually doesn't require power source (draws power from usb), so it is very good for using on the go. However they are available only till 320GB (there will be 500GB version soon on a market). 3.5 on the other hand are less portable, but available in bigger sizes- 1TB so far (correct me if I am wrong and there is bigger internal HD than 1TB). If you put in enclosure more than one internal hard drive, then you get more than 1TB. There are some enclosures with fan and without. Ones with fan inside tends to run more loud, because you hear not only spinning hard drive, but also fan. Advantage is that your fan is cooler and supposedly you get better performance. There are only one commonly used internal connection inside external hard drive- SATA( others are less common because they tend to cost more and hd cost more too). There are much more connections to a computer FROM a HD. Firewire 400/800, usb, e-sata. There are hd enclosures with one or two or even all connections on them. Most common is usb, but it is the slowest.
Things to consider are these- buy brand name enclosure or assemble one by yourself. Brand name external hard drives might be cheaper, but carry only 1-(2?) year warranty. Also you don't know WHAT brand hard drive is inside. Especially it is notable for no brand hard drives (seagate, western digital, maxtor probably would shoot themselves before they will put some other brand hard drive).
When you assemble enclosure yourself you know what you get- what components you used and what warranty you will get. There is bigger choice of external enclosures than external hard drives. I used brand name external hard drives and assembled myself and can say that there is no difference in performance- hard drives doesn't last because they are brand name or they don't fail if you assembled yourself (assuming that you used antistatic band and assembled correctly).

Yet another question about 24-bits

I have just combined an Echo Audio Indigo IO with Adobe Audition 1.5 in hopes to have a reasonably good laptop recorder. That need is met quite well.
There are a number of discussions about bit depth in these forums. The answers become obfuscated by internal conversions done in audio cards, software, and Windows drivers. My current interest is simply how to get 24 bits of unadultered data from a D/A convertor to a data file using Audition. This data will be used to analyze pitch, frequency and intonation and any changes to the data will affect the results.
Both the Indigo IO and Audition claim 24-bit support and I am convinced that both meet these claims fully. In spite of this there is no evidence that the card, Windows, and the software together will actually meet this claim without a 16-bit conversion along the line. What really matters is whether or not 24-bits of audio can travel from the card to the data file without any changes.
Question 1: In Audition 1.5 for Windows under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In/Supported Formats" for the Indigo IO the highest density recording listed is 16-bit stereo at a 96K sample rate. What properties do other users find for their 24-bit cards?
Question 2: The wave programming calls (waveInGetDevCaps) don't include capability definitions for anything beyond 16-bit depth at a 96K sample rate. Where in Windows is there evidence of true support for anything greater than 16-bit Audio?
Question 3: What software is there that will go directly to the sound card or driver and write 24 unadultered bits to a file?

I had trouble setting up my 24bit/96k ADAC to record 24-bit in audition. The best way to be sure audition is getting the 24bit samples as 24 bits is to check the status bar when recording. If it says 'Recording as 24 bit' then it's all setup right. If it says 'Recording as 16 bit' then the 32-bit float driver or the 24-bit driver reported an error and audition tried to fall back on the 16 bit version and succeeded. The problem I had was that the driver didn't handle 32-bit floats so it errored out and audition recorded as 16 bits. The only solution was to select the 24-bit option under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In(or out)".
Just a note. A true 24-bit ADC will send 24 bits to the driver and the driver itself will convert the bits to whatever format it supports. If the driver is instructed to convert to normalized floats the software will simply do something like this:
SampleOut = SampleIn / 8388608.0;
This doesn't add any coloration to the audio because a float is really just a 24 bit integer with 8 bits added to tell the FPU where to put the decimal point. Converting down from 24-bits of course degrades quality and converting from 24 bits up to a true 32 bit integer would NOT add any quality to the audio. When stored in a file, 24 bits is 24 bits whether its a float or an integer.
>Question 2:The wave programming calls (waveInGetDevCaps) don't include capability definitions for anything beyond 16-bit depth at a 96K sample rate. Where in Windows is there evidence of true support for anything greater than 16-bit Audio?
The website showing waveInGetDevCaps function information doesn't show all the possible format tags or even the sample rates. It is only showing the most compatible forms for drivers. The WAVEFORMAT and WAVEFORMATEX structures used for the drivers are also used in the 'fmt ' chunk of RIFF WAVE files. I've written a lot of software for parallel use with audition using wave files and windows and I can say from experience that when recording 24 bits with audition you're getting the full 24 bits. If your driver truly supports 24 bit samples then audition will allow you to select the 24 bit samples option under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In(or out)" and audition will display 'Recording as 24-bits' when recording. Once recorded Audition no doubt converts ALL bit depths to its internal format which I believe is 32 (or 64) bit float, and if you don't process the file and wish to save as 24 bit integers then the samples saved will be exactly what the ADC sent to the driver.

Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
Thanks.

Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

Yet another question about transfer from iPod to PC

I realize there have been a couple similar questions regarding this, recently, and I have read the answers and the guides within help. The trouble is this: My hard drive on my PC died!! I had to replace it. So, the new hard drive has no music library at all. I need the new library to match what's on the ipod, for further music downloads and automatically updating the ipod, etc.
I followed directions in "Copy Music to New Computer". At the point where it says to go to My Computer and double click on the iPod (while it's connected, of course) and you're supposed to see a few folders here. One of them should be a folder called iTunes. You're supposed to be able to drag it into your My Music iTunes folder. However, that folder does not appear!! Only Calendars, Contacts, and Notes folders are there. There definitley is music on the ipod. So, why is there no folder there? I can't figure any other way to get this stuff back in my library.
Please help.
I could re-import most of it ,I guess, and start over, but if I can't get the stuff that's only on my ipod, the library still won't match. And next time I download new music, and iPod updates itself from my library, I'll lose stuff.
Any ideas?

Try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Yet another question about exporting and video quality

Kind people,
I know this question has been asked many, many times, and I have searched and read up of the topic, but I would also like to ask it.
I shot my video on a Canon Vixia HF10, downloaded it to Final Cut Express to edit, exported it as Quick Time Movie, dropped it in iDVD, then played it on my TV and the quality was…..not good. The video was a little fuzzy and there were ghosts. Are there any settings I should go back and check in iDVD.

My questions.
1) Would it be fast enough?
2) If i put my itunes library on it and stream that to my Apple TV (when it gets here) will there be any buffer time?
3) I use FCP a lot and would use it as my capture disc, will that be fast?
4) Are there any other drives i should look at first?
As you can see im really worried about speed so anyone that can help please let me know. Thanks

Yet another question about XServer

Greetings
Having installed an XVR100 graphics card in a Sunfire V240 and configured it as the default output device, I have managed to get XSun to start and then start X11VNC, however, while I get a nice, graphical Solaris screen, I dont get any login prompt. Just a mention that this is Solaris X11 v 6.6.2 and some console output showing the last "SU" login.
Do I need to change the default tty somewhere?
Additionally, I want to configure some type of desktop manager to work with X but cant find a way to run either KDM (no KDM config in evidence on system) or Gnome.
Is Xsun what I need to be running on a sparc system or should I run Xorg?
(Or is Xorg only for Solaris X86)
Because the original build of this box was without a graphics card, I am having to do this by hand.
Sorry for all the dumb questions but I've had a much easier time getting X to run on almost any other flavour of UNIX.
Any help or suggestionswould be much-appreciated.

Question about video driver and window manager

Dear All:
I have been using Arch for a couple of months now and I am absolutely amazed by how top of the line this system is.
Congratulations and thank you to all the developers!
A couple of questions for anybody interested in these topics:
1) Do people usually use open-source video drivers, or proprietary? What are the advantages/disadvantages of either solution, in terms of stability and performance? (I have an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card on an IBM T43 laptop). Also, I use dual-head with an external NEC lcd display using MergedFramebuffer, but I notice that the external monitor is not set completely well. Looking closely at the black background standard in Openpox, for example, I notice a constant flickering of the pixels. Can it be because I am not using the proprietary ATI driver?
2) What is, in your opinion, the fastest and most reliable window manager? I wonder whether somebody has run objective comparisons.
I fell in love with wmii recently, but managed to crash it twice when I tried to run kmail (perhaps because this application is not wm-independent?).
Also, applications seem to respond the fastest in fvwm on my system!? Isn't wmii supposed to be the fastest, being the lightest?
Thank you for your help!

Yet another question about zone forwarding

Hi guys!
thanks for reading. I have a question related to create a new forward zone. I am not pretty sure if I have to use a forward zone
or create a new IN-ADDR.ARPA forward zone.
Now I have my DNS servers answering about my primary zone, let say mycompany.es. For any requisites related to my applications,
I have to forward all dns queries related to, let say this domain: onedomaintoforward.com (and, all subdomains)
to a different dns server located on a machine on the internet. The main reason for this is the application that use this domain
works with a dedicated internet-line, so the dns queries must be resolved to point to the servers going throught this line,
with specific IP routes, etc).
So, for example, the query customerzone.cp.onedomaintoforward.com must be forwarded to this server (I have the IP address
for this server).
So, should I create a forward zone or a new in-addr.arpa forward zone? I am confused. I think that its the second one,
mainly because I set up a new forward zone but its seems that it doesnt works.
Could anyone give me a pointer to this?
Thank you so much!

So would I be correct that this domain has public IPs related to it, but
that from where you stand, you are to point to a different/private set of
IPs? Or is it that those public IPs need to be separately routed?
Either of those options could be handled with some static IP routes in
the right places.
Are the public DNS Name Servers for that domain the same ones you need to
point to? At the same IP addresses?
Which OS is your DNS host running? NetWare of what version or OES of what
version?
One thought might be for you to set your DNS server as a secondary of
those primaries and do zone transfers.

Complicated confusion often means the best learning experience, and once

Yet another question about "bad magic number error"

I have acquired a Sun Blade 1000 w/o installed OS and a set of genuine Solaris 10 media. As a Solaris neophyte I'm either being stupid or I've got a real problem and I can't tell which. So help would be greatly appreciated.
With the sparc disc in, if I let the machine start up I get a common error message for used sun kit:
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:

null

Hello "null",
please check if the data cable to the DVD is properly attached.
Some early versions of the Toshiba DVD drive won't boot from a DVD due to outdated firmware (1007).
Review the version (either 1007 or 1009) in the probe-scsi-all output. If the drive currently uses the old firmware,
the fix is to update the drives firmware (1009), which indeed requires an installed Solaris. The updated DVD firmware is contained in patch 111649-02.
If the firmware is uptodate and you have access to CD media (Solaris 9 or 10) you can the try to boot from
Solaris 9 Software 1 or Solaris 10 CD 1.
If no CD media is available, just download the image file of CD 1 from the download center and burn a CD (slower burning speed recommended). Boot from this CD into single-user mode (boot cdrom -s). If this succeeds, download the other CD images and use them to install Solaris.
As a replacement drive any SCSI DVD that can be jumpered to 2048 byte blocksize works.
