Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide on a cost effect RAID system for my Mac Pro. I do professional audio as I am a freelance composer/sound designer, and my data is very important. I currently back-up to a cloud (Which is slow, and still won't back up my OS X system data), so I have one solution, and I try to back up to other disks when possible, but I would love to have an external system that could completely mirror all of my internal drives. I posted this somewhere else, but I'm going to try and summarize what I've concluded here:
I have 4 internals. I would love each and every one of them to be mirrored to an external harddrive. This is something that I would like: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEQX2T4.0S/
It is a bit more than what I want to spend, but I think it is a solid solution. The disadvantage is that although it has a hardware RAID built into the unit, I cannot set it to mirror my internal drives (as it would actually do a RAID1 mirror within itself, therefore halving the amount of storage). This is NOT what I want.
So here is my question. Can I buy a quad hard drive eSATA RAID solution (With or without a built in hardware RAID), and use disk utility to mirror all of my internal harddrives to this new unit? My main issue is performance, easy of use, and security. I don't want reminders, I don't want to schedule a backup, I want a direct mirror at all times but I do not want it to be affecting my current work. The reason I want a RAID system is for redundancy, to prevent lost work when a drive fails. I have measures installed on my computer that warn me of failures, and I'm familiar of the sound of an ill hard drive :) In fact, I've had 3 drives recently crap out on me, but I was lucky enough to clone then in time with no lost data.
Now, since I asked that question, my second question is, do I now need a RAID card with 4 eSATA ports, or can I just use an eSATA extender from the extra eSATA port on my mother board (3,1 - 2008 mac pro)? I ask this because, if I get a solution such as the Mercury Qx2, I won't be using it's built in RAID switches, I'd have it set to see all drives and then use disk utility or something else to do the RAID.
I'm sorry if I seem a bit lost, but I've never done a RAID or have really looked into them. My work at home is less than 50% of my income, but as I've done more and more projects I really need a solid, professional solution to having redundant drives.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm doing all the research I can but if I can get a few questions answered I think I'll be well on my way to figuring out what I need! Thanks :)

You can try Screen spanning Doctor. It allows to enable clamshell mode until next PRAM reset. See Readme file located on its dmg.

Your only choice to upgrade is 4.3 today.
If you upgrade you will lose the ability to fully use the camera connection kit, on the other hand your GPS if a 3G model will improve, and you'll get gestures, and a larger selection of software...
Have you done the tiny umbrella bit yet? This does not do anything to your iPad, and will at least allow you to return to the 4.3 software version...
Ahh thanks for the reply. I am going to do the TU portion right now. Guess I will go straight to 4.3. Might as well because 3.2.2 on the iPad does not even have multitasking!
Just to clarify, I can upgrade to 4.3 the "normal apple way" correct, and then still be able to JB after that? ( know it's tethered, but I can live with that)

It is also important to note that not all iPhones are even capable of running iOS 4, with the original iPhone being completely unsupported

Hi folks,
I'm in a market for an iPad 2, but I'm in a dilemma of whether I should keep my iPod touch 32GB and get an iPad 2 16GB 3G, or should go all out for a 64GB 3G and let go of my iPod.
I'm a person who loves to store everything I have on a mobile device, hence 64GB, yet I still prefer the mobility of the iPod touch. Though the inconvenience is that the iPod does not support 3G, and Wi-Fi is hard to come by when I'm traveling.
My music on my iPod occupies around 24GB and there's barely enough space for my photos. I was thinking of an iPad to store my photos instead, and I would appreciate having photos and Accordance Bible Software on the real screen estate of the iPad.
Prior to this I'm lugging around a 15" MBP for all my stuff, and frankly it's kinda cumbersome carrying a laptop to church.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't know what the result of using both 'default host' *and* individual port mapping is, but at best it's undefined. I'd suggest using one or the other. I have no issues with Snow Leopard Server and an old Airport Extreme using port mapping (no default host). Default host is just exposing your machine to probes on every port in existence.
Some simple debugging: try telnetting from some other machine on your local network to your server port 25, e.g. 'telnet 192.168.1.2 25'. If you get connected to SMTP then your problem is elsewhere (barring some firewall rules you might have manually configured in your server). If you don't get connected then the problem is the server and you have to figure out why SMTP isn't listening.
If you can telnet to your server on the inside, but not from the outside then you have either a router problem or an ISP problem. As for my old Airport Extreme, I found that upgrading to the latest firmware (7.5.2) caused no end of problems, I downgraded to the previous version (7.4.2) and all is well.
A.
okay so I did a local telnet from a client and I was able to login to 192.168.1.2 on ports 143, 993, 995 but NOT on ports 25 and 587. I guess this means the router is free and clear however I still cannot understand why SLS is closing those ports. I dont have firewall services enabled and when I did use it I opened up everything but it still didn't work. ????

Hi!
I have a Netgear SC101T NAS. I used to run it on a windows os but recently I got a new iMac that runs osx snow leopard. As netgear does not make any drivers for me I searched the web and fount out that 'Mac Storage Manager' by newtdata.com would fix it. only problem is that newtdata.com wont open for me. I wonder if anyone have tried this Newt's Mac Storage Manager to confirm that it works. or if anyone knows where to get it? or is there an alternative?
Thanks in advance!

but if i hook up an ACD with minidisplayport it does recognise the USB ports... right? so does it also recognise USB ports on my imac? when i use it as a screen?
im not going all on thunderbolt i was just implying that that would be what i use. i know the imac only has minidisplay.
If you're using the 27" ACD, then you're plugging in a the MiniDisplay Port, and a separate USB cable; the USB cable where it recognizes devices and sends it back to your Mac via the USB.
But, that's assuming you're using the latest ACD (which does not have ThunderBolt, but a MiniDisplay Port).

Alright, I am going to give it a little time to see if there are any holiday promos (either price reductions and/or iPod deals, cause I want one of those too!) but my major problem is that I have only played around on a Mac system before and I am not all that efficient at the OS.
Are there any recommendations for online places to read and learn or publications I should pick up that will help progress my proficience with OS X?
Thanks in advance, as always, :D

If it is a concern, iMac handles games well too, but I would also suggest getting a PC for gaming if iMac is out of your range.

I bet Zander wasn't happy when Apple released the iPhone...
