We maintain a few computer labs where I work and have some Macs on an Active Directory (AD) domain. The users (mainly students) log in and have their home folder on the network (via smb). It works great; users can take their environment with them wherever they log in and all that jazz.
Is anyone else running such an environment, and have you tried Lion yet? With the way Apple is moving (app store, OS more geared to the consumer) I wonder if these features will remain, or if there are problems integrating Lion into such an environment.
We love the flexibility OS X accords us; we can set up individual machines to either create local home folders for AD users, or use the network home directories, as well as lock down the machines pretty well.
I have not tested in an AD domain, but my understanding is SAMBA is being replaced (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/23/inside_mac_os_x_10_7_lion_server_apple_replaces_samba_for_windows_networking_services.html) with Apple's implementation of it.
Using the NT domain controller will not be an option either. Active Directory only. I am not in an enviroment to test for you. Sorry.

Have you spoken directly with Apple? I don't know how many promotional codes you're in need of, but they may work with you.
Yes, this did occur to me. A big player like Starbucks may get hundreds of thousands of promotional codes, but will Apple pay any attention to a small fry like me?

hi,
i recently bought an ibook g4. when i am using it, from time to time i hear a slight click from the hard drive. the S.M.A.R.T status is "verified". so is the drive up to no good?

Companies should improve their services, not downgrade them. I haven't used them but this made sure that I never will

I recently reinstalled my Mac,
Taken literally, I wonder what that would mean. I think you mean you wiped it clean and installed the OS. Your file is gone. If you have a printed copy, make a new one.

Hi,
I am uncertain if this is the same problem as Findesiecle5's post from 4 days ago, so I have started a separate thread.
Although I have been recording for many years, I have never used MIDI before, and am having a problem getting GarageBand to recognize it. Actually, I have always had many, many problems with GarageBand despite my Mac Pro being 'empty' of all files except those created in the program.
My set up is:
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66
1 TB HD space (combination of several empty, new hard drives)
5 GB RAM
Firestudio 26 x 26 Firewire Audio Interface / Preamp
OS X 10.6.2
GarageBand '09 5.1
I bought the Mac Pro specifically for use as a DAW and have not used it for anything else - I think that I have only connected to the net on a few occasions with it.
PROBLEMS
1. Sometimes, the computer records perfectly, although there is something wrong with the software interface for the Firestudio as it is impossible to set different output/monitoring headphone levels for each track (I have had an audio pro who deals exclusively in Mac products come and try to troubleshoot this on two occasions, and he is clueless about this specific problem).
2. On other occasions, though, I can't get the computer to record at all: on those occasions I can't even hear previously recorded material in GB, although I can see it playing.
3. One of the 'wrinkles' is that there are two different drivers installed for the Firestudio in the Mac and GB 'System Preferences' - one is called 'Presonus Firestudio', and the other is called 'Presonus 1394).
4. The crazy thing here is that I can hear the playback only when the Mac 'System Preferences' is set to 'Presonus Firestudio' for both Input and Output, and the GB 'System Preferences' for Input and Output are each set to 'Presonus 1394' - if I choose the same named drivers for the Mac and GB 'System Preferences', I cannot hear anything when the track is playing.
5. A few months ago, I upgraded to Garageband '09, 5.1 (398), but had had the above problems before this.
6. In order to accommodate the new version of GB, I upgraded my OS to OS X 10.6.2
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS
1. I tried to uninstall the Firestudio drivers and software and erase all trace of them from the system, by following instructions I found on the Presonus website (I found the Presonus people very unhelpful - although several people on the forums were more helpful)
2. I reinstalled OS X 10.6.2 three times in order to try to get rid of the problem
3. Before making the above changes, I changed the system drive to a brand new, never used, hard drive.
CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
1. Although it would be nice to send different monitor output mixes to my headphone amp (see 1. under 'Problems' above), this is not essential, and I can record (most of the time, as I said above). So, I can record pretty consistently.
2. Having said that, sometimes I will inexplicably lose the ability to record, often during the middle of a project or during tracking
3. I cannot get rid of the two sets of drivers for the Presonus in 'System Preferences'
4. Today I tried to use MIDI for the first time. I had bought a MIDI - to - USB cable, which has two 'male' 5 PIN DIN connections on one end - one for MIDI IN, and other for MIDI OUT - and a 'male' USB connector on the other end.
I plugged both of the DIN connectors into the back of my keyboard, and I then plugged the USB connection into my Mac Pro.
I received the message that '2 MIDI Connections are Present' (or something to that effect), but was unable to get any input signal and was unable to hear my keyboard playing via the computer.
QUESTIONS
1. My main question right now is really about MIDI, as I have resigned myself to most of the above.
So, what am I doing incorrectly? As I understand it, this way of connecting should work, although now I am tempted to buy the alternative form of MIDI connector, which has DIN connectors on both ends, and then plug these into the MIDI IN and OUT on the back of the Firestudio.
Will this make a difference?
2. If anyone has any suggestions about any of the other problems, I would be very grateful.
Sorry for the length of this post, but I wanted to give a complete and detailed context for these problems.

I changed the energy saver preferences to sleep in five minutes instead of 15. We'll see if anything happens. If the results are still negative, I'll post back test results.

Hey everyone,
Brand new to Macs, I got the i5 MacBook Pro 13'' 2011 yesterday, loving alot of it, still learning how things work different than Windows. But one thing I'm having a hard time with is getting my GMail contacts to import! Where do I even go? I try going to Address Book > Import, but then there is no GMail option. Thanks in advance!

Hi
I'm wanting to upgrade my website so people can buy prints, greetings cards etc from my website.
I was going to upgrade my 1and1 account to a basic home hosting account (http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/HostingHome;jsessionid=430E7E7441612649C4F7EA8240457A8F.TC30a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static) account
But today I've discovered that although it has php it doesn't include MySQL - my question is do I need to have MySQL to build a shopping cart ?
Thanks
David :)

Simple problem, but it is bothering me. On my Droid I was able just to highlight a new number or click on a text and it would enable me to create a contact if one had not already been created. Now I have to manually type in a contact on my Iphone. Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something?
if you click and hold on a number you are given the option to add to an existing contact or create a new one from it.

Check out MacRumors' Buyer's Guide (http://www.macrumors.com/members/buyersguide/)! It tracks updates, refreshes and bumps.
Yeah I had a little look at that before I posted this. The updates listed there are yearly ones, I wondered if anyone knew the frequency of the smaller updates that don't get a big ol' press release.
I'll sift through the individually tagged articles, see what I can find.
Are you a student? If not you don't qualify for this offer anyway.
Yup, student!

Look at Activity Monitor to see what processes you have running. Be sure you're looking at "All Processes" and not just "My Processes". Also, use MRoogle (http://mroogle.edesignuk.com/) to search the forum for other threads with this same question, to see what others found to be the cause.

A simpler solution would be to move the folder somewhere (or even hide it) and make an alias to the file that starts the app.
That's not a bad idea actually, yet it would be cool to be able to give the app to other people easely, but ahh well, it'll have to do :D
