Anybody try installing Bootcamp with Lion yet? I'm curious how you're supposed to mount it in Windows without physical media. I know there are work-arounds to burn it, but I have to think Apple has figured out a smooth way. Can you see the recovery partition in Windows?

Anybody here work with Macs in a corporate, Windows environment? I've always used Macs at home and PCs at work, but they just bought me a Mac Pro to play with at the office because they're thinking about buying a bunch more for some of the marketing staff. They likely won't be buying an OS X server, so what are my options for integrating these things into active directory, and locking them down a bit and whatnot? Googling gives me a ton of options, so I was hoping for some direction on what to look at first. We've got about 1500 PCs and probably won't have more than about 30 Macs, all Pros probably. Domain controllers are server 2003.

mayodreams posted:Late on this, but I am a Mac admin at a university explicitly doing what you are talking about. I have around 50 'lab' Macs that I manage in a Server 2003 AD environment. You basically have two options: OS X Server or BeyondTrust (Likewise). Technically, we use both, but I know that AD is better in SL and Lion than it was in Leopard, but I have found that Likewise is more reliable long term than Apple's plugin.

I've got an older Mac Mini that runs headless as a media server. I've been using LogMeIn to manage it from my PC and my iPad, and it works fine but it's pretty slow. I was hoping to use Splashtop since I've heard it's much faster, but after getting it all setup I find out that Splashtop currently doesn't support headless and fails to connect unless you've got a monitor hooked up. Is there anyway to 'trick' the mini into thinking a monitor is actually connected? Or is there a better alternative remote-desktop app that's fast and multiplatform?

Lexicon posted:Any recommendations for a Lion compatible FrontRow/XBMC like app that can be opened and controlled with the Apple remote, and comes with a decent set of codecs? I haven't tried XBMC lately, but last time I did, it seemed hideously convoluted, and it was inordinately annoying to add an external drive as a media source. I want something as basic as possible.

I just installed Mavericks on a fresh DIY Fusion Drive in my Mac mini. Works great, but now I'm reading that I should have installed Mavericks before making the Fusion drive (and then clone the boot partition on to it) in order to keep the recovery partition separate from the conjoined Fusion drive. Is there any reason I should start over and do it that way? I'm thinking it doesn't really make any difference unless somehow the Fusion pairing fails, in which case I can still do a web recovery right?

I have an SD card that seems to be dying. I can see the photo thumbnails in Finder and in the iPhoto import dialog, but when I try and copy or import the photos about half of them fail. Are there any recovery tools that are actually worthwhile? Or any dd-like terminal jiggery-pokery I can do?

I just got a call from my dad that he deleted all his emails thinking he was real smart since 'they were still in the cloud' but I guess he'd been pulling them all down locally. As I understand it he deleted them all through mail.app and then emptied the recycle bin. What's my best bet for recovery software? I'm okay paying for it.

Thanks everybody for the recovery tips! The best part is I set my dad up with an external drive for Time Machine but he didn't keep it connected after the initial sync... a year ago.

Hey, is there a way to embed Apple Photos metadata into the photos themselves? My sister made a bunch of albums in Photos but she wants to move away from Photos as her primary means of organizing without actually losing the effort that went into creating the albums. I was thinking if there was a way to tag each photo with the album title, that might be a way to keep the organization. [Edit] My first thought was using something like this to just select the albums and then manually add the keywords, I think that might work? but I was wondering if there was something less manual. ephori fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Feb 2, 2018 |

She wants to try out Google Photos as a backup, since she's already paying for Drive, but without losing her meticulously organized albums. My thinking is if the album titles are in the EXIF data, Google Photos can search by it and she can quickly re-make the same albums. Exiftool would give me the automation I'm looking for if it had a way to identify which albums the photos were in... not sure if there's a way to surface that.
