Applications :: Preferred Backup And Imaging Software 2010?
Aug 3, 2010This is going to be a series of threads/polls with the main objective of finding out what applications the members of MacRumors use. These threads/polls are not meant for discussion on whether or not one application is better than another or to ask any questions about these particular applications. It's only purpose is to discuss what application you use (or don't use) as it pertains to the topic. The goal is to collect these series of threads in the end and compile a list of all the polls so that members can view what the members of MacRumors use most often. The applications listed in the poll are by no means definitive and/or complete. If you use another application, vote Other and post the name so others can look into it. Even if you don't use any of the applications listed, you can simply click None. I've tried to list as many applications as I could find for the particular topic. Some are paid, some are free. Some cover all versions of OS X, others only a few versions.

Apr 15, 2009The other day I noticed an Opera icon on my dock, clicked and not surprisingly, Opera appeared. I have never installed Opera and Im the only one who has ever touched my macbook. I quit out of it, and it disappeared off my dock, which means not only had it installed itself but run all by itself too. So I went straight to my apps folder to find and delete it and it wasn't there. A spotlight search came up with nothing too? How is this even possible with the permission system of OS X? Any ideas on how to find out if/where it is installed?

Feb 9, 2008Just wondering if there's such a thing as a Keynote Viewer for PC's?
I have got iWork '08 and love Keynote far more than PowerPoint but my uni uses Windows PC's so it means I have to use PowerPoint for my lectures.
I know that if you save a Keynote presentation as a quicktime file, that works, but very few of the PC's have iTunes/quicktime installed.

Applications :: Power Searching In Mail.app
Jan 19, 2010For years, I used Eudora (Mac) because it was fast and fit the way I needed and wanted to work. Overall, I still think it's the best e-mail program but I switched to Mail for some very specific reasons: I needed to be able to specify specific POP ports for specific e-mail accounts, I wanted to use the Mac OS centralized address book (Eudora's interface with Address Book was kludgy), I had apparently reached the limit on folders within Eudora as it would crash when I tried to add a new folder and restoring to previous preferences would allow me to use Eudora didn't fix the problem with adding a folder, and I wanted to see html e-mails (Mail still doesn't create html e-mails well).Overall, I'm OK with Mail (v. 4.2, Mac OS 10.6.2, MacBook Pro late 2006 Core 2 Duo, 3gb RAM). The thing that I miss the most is Eudora's very robust searching capabilities. There may well be something I've missed with Mail as it seems that the kind of searches that I want to do should be possible in Mail. Here are some examples of the kinds of things I want:
1. Search on multiple criteria. For instance, find all e-mails where "From" contains xxxxx and "Date" is after xx/xx/xx and "Body" contains xxxxxxxx.
2. Boolean searches. For instance, find all e-mails where "From" contains xxxxx or "From" contains yyyyy.
3. Search within the results of a search. For instance, first find all e-mails where "From" contains xxxxx or "From" contains yyyyy, then within those e-mails, find e-mails where "Body" contains zzzzz.
4. Full boolean and/or grep searching (this would go beyond Eudora's capabilities).
Is there a resource, preferably online, for power searching in Mail? If so, where? While doing this kind of searching as native part of Mail would be preferable, I would be satisfied with a plug-in or even a third-party utility that interfaces well with Mail.

Example: I searched for battle fatigue, and it showed me every result containing battle (including things like battlefield) and every result containing fatigue. I'm need it to find a specific phrase, not every instance of every word.
Putting the phrase in quotes returns nothing, as does using + between words.

May 27, 2009I often find myself searching for a piece of text that I wrote myself within a webpage. For example, when writing a long email in gmail, I want to look for a certain word I wrote somewhere in the middle. Firefox dynamically includes all the text that is present on the page (as opposed to just what's in the source of the page) and I'm wondering if there is a way to do that with Safari.

Aug 20, 2010I recently switched 99% to a mac and im having a very hard time to find an alternative software like "PhotoScape" on windows!
I print a list of applications i use on windows and started searching for alternatives!
I find everything i needed except that! I looked in to many many forums (inc here)... tested more than 50 software but no luck at all!
Free or commercial doesnt matter! The only link between me and my PC is photoscape and this is killing me!
A full noisy tower - 100 cables everywhere just for running one app. (winebottler wont run it normally)
What exactly im looking for (for those of you who dont know "PhotoScape")
Is a multi batch editor for pictures with "preset" feature. (not a photo organizer or something like iphoto)
I want to be able to add lets say 10 images, load the xxx partner preset
and.. (auto action for that specific preset)
<example>
- resize them with max width 600px
- place a watermark with the name of the partner to a specific location on the image. text watermark with outline color and basic text tools predifined for each preset
- rename them like "partner-01" - "partner-02" - "partner-03" etc etc
-export them in Jpeg format with quality 80 to a subfolder called "partner-xxx" inside the folder with the originals.
OS X :: Using G4 Power For Imaging?

Mac Pro :: Configuration For Medical Imaging
Sep 11, 2009I've been lurking for a while reading posts trying to get as much info as I can. There are still some questions that I hope people can help me with.
I want to get a Mac Pro for medical imaging. I'll primarily be using Osirix which is a program for DICOM viewing / 3D image processing. I have a plugin that will do advance 3D volume rendering using CPU cores, so fastest CPU speed will be best. Don't know if the GPU will be critical, but I figure it couldn't hurt.
I will also need windows to access my work network and PACS system. I don't think I'll use bootcamp much, will probably go with Parallel.
Here are my thoughts for configuration.
MP 2.93 Octo
Memory 36 gig (OWC)
2 x NEC MultiSync 3090WQXi 30'
GTX 285
Those are the easy parts. Now I have question about the HD. In general, I want the fastest performance, but DICOM images can be large and I can easily have over 1 TB of data.
I'm thinking Intel SSD 160 x 2 RAID 0 for boot and apps. Then a RAID 0 for data. But am having trouble figuring out the best configuration.
I know I can use the 4 drives + 1 optical bay. That gives me 5 drives. So here are some thoughts.
160 Intel SSD x 2 RAID 0 for apps + short term data
640 gb (from apple) for Windows
2 or 1 TB x 2 in RAID 0 for data
From what I read, windows can't be on a mac RAID 0 array, that's why I'm keeping the 640 gb drive for it.
For best of both worlds (boot + apps + storage) I like the idea of 1TB OCZ Colossus, but the cost is high and it's not out yet.
If 2 SSD is an overkill, then perhaps a Intel SSD 160 for boot/app and a 3 drive RAID 0 for data?
Backup will be external since I've run out of internal SATA ports. I figure I can go with slow Firewire or USB, but an eSATA card (Sonnet E4P PCI-Express card) will probably work better. There should be enough PCI space with both GTX 285 and GT120 installed right?
I have been reading the postings on RAID cards (Areca 1210?), but I'm getting lost and don't know if that will help in my situation

OS X :: Imaging Out Of The Box With BootCamp Windows Partition?
Oct 11, 2010I have the latest Acronis Backup and Recovery v10 boot cd.. i was hoping to use this to backup the out of the box macbook pro we just received..
It did show 2 partitions, one with about 239GB and 0 bytes free.. i had not gone through the setup wizard as of yet.
It is moving along as far as taking the image, but i'm not sure if this is safe to revert to or not..
Does anyone know?
(new to macbooks)..
Secondly, we will have bootcamp installed soon, with windows on that partition.. ideally we need to be able to backup via image the entire harddrive and revert to previous images as needed..
Hoping the bootable Acrnois is the answer..
However, i did read that Carbon Copy can be used.. does this backup bootcamp/windows partitions too.. will it create a bootable cd option or bootmenu option to restore?

Jul 27, 2010I know this is not exactly the place for this type of question, but here it goes anyways.
Everyday we keep getting new computers out of the earth it seems. I would like to get one setup, and then image the rest.
There will need to be 3 different sets of computers to image.
I need to get 20 Dell Latitudes imaged, 30 Dell Optiplex Desktops, and the 36 Windows 7 copies in the iMac lab.
So I have 1 Optiplex fully loaded and set to use as the mass image. Same with one copy of 7 on the iMac's. Notebooks are still in boxes.
What program will allow me to do this in the best way?? I was looking into Norton Ghost, but is there something else you guys know of or recommend?
IMac :: Imaging Macs With NVIDIA Chipsets?
Apr 20, 2009I work for a higher education institute and we are looking into getting new Macs this coming summer, we've recently purchased two 2009 Mac mini's and I imaged them with our stock Mac clone (10.5.6). Obviously due to recent hardware changes it didn't work perfectly (no gui boot) but it did function, I just wanted to know if there was a way of updating key components to make it work perfectly so that I can integrate it instead of having to create a complete new clone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIMac :: Digital Imaging Both Stills And HD Video
Jun 10, 2010I'm looking at getting a system that will fly through digital imaging, both stills and HD video. I don't do much gaming, and frankly, with the exception of my photo hobby/passion, a iPad would have enough processor power. I've looked at the MacPros as well as the Macbook Pros and Imacs. For my imaging needs, the laptop, while nice to have portable power, doesn't have the display I need/want.
I've been seriously considering an iMac 27" with the i7 processor, probably 8gb ram (considered 16, but might be overkill) and 2tb hd. I WISH I could get one with a large SSD, but I guess not an option yet.
My other consideration was MacPro, this gives me lots of bells and whistles, and I'm thinking probably overkill (I tend to do that sometimes), although speed is unmatched, for all practical purposes.
My question is, would the iMac as described be sufficient for my needs or be overkill. Budget is liberal (within reason) but I know that I'm upgrading from my photoshop CS4 (PC edition) to CS5 mac version, lightroom, as well as getting new network setup for house and 13"macbookpro for daughter.
Software :: NVIDIA MacBook - Verbose Boot After Imaging?
Mar 12, 2009Having received a fresh batch of NVidia MacBooks I've remade our default image and attempted to image the MacBooks. However once the imaging is completed they all boot in verbose mode. Other than this they operate perfectly. Our deployment script blesses the disk once the imaging is complete and I've tried blessing both the volume and the folder but it still boots in verbose mode. I've also tried disabling verbose boot in the NVRAM (it's not enabled anyway).
The only way that I've found to fix this is to manually select "Macintosh HD" in the Startup Disk Pref pane. So I guess the question is, what else is the pref pane doing all of a sudden?

Hardware :: 24" Glossy IMac Screen Suitable For Pro Imaging Work?
Jan 20, 2008As a full-time professional photographer, I use 20" iMac Intel 2GHz Core Duo machines (the original Intel iMacs), with the matte screens and maxed out with 2 gb of ram for Photoshop editing daily (CS3). I have found that the matte screens are awesome for imaging work... very accurate colors, no perceptible undesireable variation in color or brightness at different viewing angles. I've been verrry happy with these iMacs for production in my portrait photography studio.
NOW... recently I've considered upgrading one of my original 20" Intel iMacs to a current production 24" iMac for the larger screen area, 4 GB ram capability, and faster processor (filter processing!!!), but have been hesitant because of all the bad press I've read about using the glossy screens for professional color work. Complaints I've seen refer to distracting reflections of room/ambient lighting, a false, over-exagerated color saturation, un-even color/brightness across the full area of the display, light leaks, and dead pixels. What has happened to our beloved iMac?
If these criticisms are valid, I think Apple made a big mistake going from matte to glossy screens with the iMacs. I understand that Apple targets iMacs as just consumer machines... but the fact remains that a LOT of professional imaging people have chosen matte screen iMacs for professional work and the older matte screens were perfect for that.
