Applications :: Software For Building Home Inventory Lists
Nov 11, 2010
Can anyone recommend any software that will help me build and maintain a list of home inventory for insurance purposes? Ideally it will sync to multiple computers and the cloud (automatically) for backup. Enable me to group items into different categories and rooms. And generate itemised documents that can easily be converted into PDFs, Emails or Printed Documents for submitting actual insurance claims (hopefully I'll never need to do it). I found Compartments [URL] that gets mixed reviews. I'm going to test it out later, but before I invest too much time in that I wondered if anyone had any better recommendations.

I know there are some iOS and OS X home inventory apps which are all about receipts, snapshots, etc. They are great for insurance purposes and I wouldn't mind if that is part of it, but what I am really looking for is something that helps you with organization. As we try to get the basement and garage of our house organized and put a lot of stuff in bins and closets, I want to catalog as much as I can for reference when I want to find something. Obviously many bins will be labeled, etc., but being able to type an item into software to get its location would be key. If anyone can recommend some software, desktop, iOS, doesn't matter to track stuff, focusing more on where it is than how much you paid, snapshots, receipts, that would be great. If it is for insurance that is fine as long as I can easily search it for location.

Maybe not the best subforum to post in but I couldn't see where else I could post it.
My brother and I both have MBP's and we'd like to share a hard drive connected to out WiFi router. We'd also like to use the new 'AirPlay' technology that'll be coming out soon.
Since I've never assembled a home network before, I'd like to know what are all of the components that I'd need?
An external hard drive and WiFi router running to an Airport Express Base and then using everything over the wireless network?
How would I connect a printer to this too?
Sorry for the possibly confusing questions, I just don't to go out and buy anything I don't need.

I'm trying to set up a table for our pharmacy's inventory. I want to develop monitoring parameters for certain drugs, but numbers isn't letting me merge cells together the way I'd like to. For example, say I have a drug, Lisinopril. I have Lisinopril in 1 column with 3 monitoring parameters in another column in 3 rows. How do I get those to all be associated with Lisinopril?

I'm not sure if this is possible... but I'm sure someone here can think of a creative solution.
Except it would look better than that because it would be bullets and not hyphens and they would line up.

I've been using Adium... but I wanted to try out iChat for a bit. I created my facebook account, AIM, and google... but they all have separate buddy lists. That's dumb haha
Is there a way to combine these buddy lists like Adium does?
What does iChat do that Adium doesn't? Pros and cons of each?

I'm looking for a quick and fun program to mess around with. I mean a program with pre-set graphic objects that you can import into a scene and mess around with.
For example some Lego blocks game. Something with virtually no learning curve, just drag and drop fun.

I have been a long time PC user and am a mobile PC engineer but have only recently got a Mac for training purposes as a lot more of my customers are moving over to Mac's.For the most part I can self learn and get tips from google and these forums but I am stuck on this problem. I am having trouble with moving contact groups from 2004 Entourage to 2008 Entourage, everything else has pulled over fine including individual contacts, messages etc.It just wont pull these groups over, I've tried exporting to an .rge exporting to tab separated values and drag and drop on to memory stick. There is no error but the groups don't appear in the contacts list?

I was just thinking about the stuff I have on my HD, and I'm not really sure what is eating up the 500gb HD I have installed in it (with only 50gb or so available at the moment). The usual culprits (iTunes and iPhoto library) are both on externals.
And i don't *think* I've got nearly 450gb worth of audio work on here.
So my question is, is there an application that will scan through my system HD and tell me which olders/files are taking up the most space? This may give me some idea of what I should start getting rid of.

I am trying to find an application that I used when I was much younger in the classic environment. It was called Cocoa and was a basic game/application builder that was object-orientated and worked around creating rules for each object. I can remember that the sample level involved moving away from a dog to get a key and open a door - not specific I know but it is something...
I've been trying to find it, but it is hard to find considering there are so many other things called Cocoa. Hoping that someone else knows what I'm talking about, where I could find it or if it's been brought to OS X.

My car dealership's inventory page won't load in Safari? We use a 3rd party company that facilitates our inventory page and I find it strange that the only page they facilitate on our website doesn't operate in Safari.

I probably still have my PC hat on but here is my problem.
In Address Book on my IMac, I have set up numerous cards with name address phone numbers email addresses, notes etc. Each card has AT LEAST ONE email address but can have up to THREE email addresses (home,work, other).
I have taken 13 cards and created a GROUP
Two questions:
1. Can I email the address card or copy of the card to an email address for review and updating?
2. Can I send an email to ALL OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS in the GROUP?
I am thinking that to do this (#2) I might have to set up individual address cards for each email address for each group member--yuk. I just want to send to home, office and other by just clicking on JONES or SMITH or better yet the distribution list I have set up.

I have a macbook and windows 7 desktop. I have iTunes on both, but I download songs on both, so when I sync my iPod shuffle with my macbook's itunes, it might not have songs that my desktop has. Is there a way that I can have it so I can use my home network to sync my itunes list on my desktop and laptop (so if one list doesn't have a song that the other has, it gets it)?

Well I'm planning on making the leap from laptop to desktop next year, when my macbook turns 3. I don't really have any reason to do it, I just figure I've never owned a desktop, and I should give it a shot. Anyways, I love how Mac Pro's look and run, but find that they run way too pricy for my tastes. Come from the owner of a second gen macbook, with just 2 ghz processor, and 64 mb vram, my standards aren't high. Plus I only use about 70 gb of the 120 gb hard drive.
My point, I would really like to build my own Mac Pro, but don't know how customizable they are. For example, would I be able to buy a current Mac Pro (but in a year, so more like a year old rig), and sell the HD and buy a small one turning a profit? My ideal computer set up would be;
3.0 ghz processor
2-4 gb ram
512 vram
120-140 gb hard drive
Can anybody help me know how possible an aspiration this would be next year. I figure If the current mac Pros will (used of course, and by that point 1 yr outdated), run at like 1400 on ebay, and I would sell the HD and buy a cheaper 3rd party for like 100 dollars, I could maybe get a nice computer about about 1000-1300? Anyways, any comments, recommendations, price quotes, or weblinks to third party "built it yourself" mac gear would be much appreciated.

I just finished a project of mine, I decided to build a gaming PC but I wanted it to be a Mac, so I bought a cheap Mac Pro on ebay then added to it over a month or so, I wanted to spend about the same price as a basic Mac Pro from Apple, ?2,000 so here's what I bought
?750:
- Dual 2.66 Ghz Mac Pro 2006 1,1
- 2GB DDR2 FB-DIMM 667mhz RAM
- 250GB HDD
- Superdrive
This is what I've now ended up with after my upgrades:
- 2 x Quad Xeon X5355's @2.66 overclocked to @3.2ghz - 1.313v FSB@1600mhz
- 12GB DDR2 FB-DIMM Kingston RAM @800Mhz
- Sapphire 5870 1GB + XFX 5970 2GB Crossfirex 850/1200
- SATA III 6GB/s + USB 3.0 Asus U3S6
- Bluetooth 2.1 + Airport 802.11n
- 2 x 64GB OCZ Vertex 2E SSD's RAID 0 - Mac OS X 10.6.4
- 60GB Crucial C300 6GB/s - Windows 7 Pro x64
- 1.5TB WD Green - Mac
- 1.0TB WD Green - NTFS
- Liteon Blu-Ray R/W x12
- Apple 1000w PSU
- 5.25" 450 PSU
All together I spent ?2,300 so I went a tiny bit over budget but I did my best not to compromise.
The only other thing I'm thinking of buying is swapping my Asus U3S6 for a dedicated Nvidia Physx card.
Obviously some of my stuff only works in Windows but as I'm not really playing games in OSX that's fine for me.
I'm looking for suggestions to improve my setup so any are welcome. Except those that say "duhhhh haha buy a PC and sell your Mac" because those really are irritating.

I work on several large software projects and need a new rig to handle some heavy compilation.
Here's my criteria for this new system:
Great at compilation/debugging (heavy CPU, RAM, HDD utilization)
Needs to triple-boot (Mac OSX, Windows, Ubuntu)
Needs to support dual monitors
Needs only moderate storage
Fit a US$8000 budget
Here's the components I have selected so far in my BTO Mac Pro:
6 Core 3.33 GHz Xeon Westmere
3GB RAM (will replace with 12GB, see below)
2 TB HDD
ATI Radeon 5870
Dual 27'' Cinema Displays
-- TOTAL: $6100
Here's what I'll be ordering separately, in addition to the above:
SSD Boot Drive: (is this compatible with Mac Pro?)
OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD3-2VTX360G 3.5" 360GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive
-- $1000
12 GB RAM: (I read 3 slots is best for triple-channel)
12GB RAM OWC Memory Kit: 3 x 4.0GB PC10600 DDR3 ECC 1333MHz
-- $330
I've never built nor owned a Mac Pro before so I'd really appreciate any advice or feedback you can give about my build.

I have been pondering building a LAN for a Computer System that is used for Photography Editing/Printing and Videography this will be for multiple MAC computers which will share a mass storage drive and accommodate a print server capable of addressing 6 Epson Stylus Pro printers with print expansion to 10 printers. The beginning network will consist of 2 iMACs, 3 MAC Pro's and 1 MAC Book. The Network server needs to be at least 2 TB with expansion capabilities. In addition, the Server must be able to address up to 8 MAC computers. I have been searching the WWW as well as various manufactures for information but after hours of searching and reading they all claim to be capable of doing what I desire. I am interested in feedback from MAC users who have experience in this area and have positive results. If you have built a similar system and can recommend the Hardware/Software that has functioned with your MAC equipment I would be interested in your results and recommendations. Finances are not an issue so going cheap is not my intent, speed, reliability and expandability are key factors.

I'm trying to learn how to build applications from source on Mac OS 10.5.7, and I'm not really sure how to do it. What do you do with files that look like 'filename.tar.gz' or 'filename.tar.bz2'.
How do you install these and build them on your computer?

I am looking at building a network for my company which currently has 1 Hackintosh, 1 Desktop PC, a Windows Laptop and a Macbook Pro. Eventually, I want to convert the whole business over to Mac. I do web development and graphic design.
Should I go down the route of Windows server or Mac OSX Server?
If I choose Mac OSX Server, can Windows machines connect to the OSX network with an account based on the OSX Server?
My only pull either way is the fact that I can get Windows 2008 Server free due to being an IT student at university.
