Plug in the external FireWire drive and pop in your system restore disc. Restore to the external drive, and when it asks if you want to copy yoru files and settings from another Mac OS X installtion, tell it yes. One of the options is to migrate from "another partition on the same computer." It'll copy over all your files, applications, user settings...everything.
That, or you could go the CCC route. Whichever.

This is a little avant garde for my taste, but I promised Marley last month I'd give it a shot.
EDIT: I just noticed there's two Firefoxes. That's odd...

Self follow-up: two reasonable options seem to exist.
The PowerBook Duo supports SCSI Disk Mode when used with the Mini Dock. So in principle I think I could obtain the correct cabling and a USB SCSI interface and directly dump files onto the PowerBook from my MacBook. Since the PowerBook is on 7.6.1 and the MacBook on 10.6, I'd need either to downgrade my MacBook to 10.5 or to upgrade my PowerBook to 8.1 since 10.6 doesn't write to HFS and 8.1 introduces HFS+. Also, USB SCSI interfaces seem to be quite expensive nowadays.
Alternatively, I could get a USB to serial interface and connect the two machines up for zmodemy NULL serial transfers. Per at least one post I've found on the Internet, if I can get FreePPP onto the PowerBook then I can use the PPP daemon built into OS X and even bridge 7.6.1 onto the Internet, allowing it to fetch as many files as it wants or to FTP onto my Pro. USB serial interfaces seem to be a lot more available than USB SCSI, but this doesn't solve the original problem of getting some software onto the machine.

Hi
I'm finishing an animation which I need to burn to DVD for a client.
Flash gives me the option of saving quicktime files with different resolutions. I'm thinking 800 x 600 but it appeared really pixelly in imovie.
I've just bought toast 6 which allows you to drop a quicktime file straight into Toast and it then converts it to DVD.
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good resolution to render the movie in?
Thanks
David

This looks like just another sim overlay solution. Nothing is done to the phone. They use a small IC and just trick the phone into thinking it has an authorized sim in it.
These are not new.
...what are you talking about? This involves using your phone's IMEI number and putting it into Apple's database of unlocked iPhones.

The card only comes with fan-out cables (SFF-8087 to 4i*SATA/SAS ends; 1x per SFF-8087 port, so in the case of the ARC-1880ix12, it will come with 3x of them).
In theory, you could order the version of the Maxupgrades kit without the MiniSAS cable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and get it (it may be shorter, as those that come with the Areca are 0.5 meters in length). Assuming the cable with the kit is shorter, it won't be as messy as a longer cable could be in terms of routing (those that have used that particular kit haven't mentioned it was a mess that I recall).
You won't need any other cabling to connect the card to the HDD bays (it all comes in the MaxUpgrades kit).
If you want to use an internal port with an external enclosure, there's a special cable you'd need to get for this. If you want to use the external port (keep in mind, this typically shares ports with an internal connector in past models, such as the 1680 series), you'd need to buy one. Either way, these do not come with the card, and you'd only need to get them if you're planning on running an external enclosure/s.
BTW, stick to 1.0 meters or less with SATA disks (1.0 m tends to be the shortest you can get off the shelf, but other lengths are possible via a custom order - I've done this before), and do not use the PCI bracket mount adapters to take internal to external cables (results in instability due to contact resistance - been through this battle before). These adapters are meant to be used with SAS, which runs at a much higher signal voltage (20V) than internal SATA (400mV).
You don't need to use the older version of Firefox. I was referring to Safari in terms of older versions that had been tried and didn't work (not tried Safari 5, but given past revisions, I'd skip even trying it when I know Firefox will work properly).
As per how to do it, a browser works in any OS supported by the card (browser connects via an IP address assigned to the RAID card). Now the firmware is actually in 4 parts (i.e. what you'd get in a firmware download off of Areca's support site). Assuming you don't need to upgrade anything else, you just use EFI to replace BOOT.bin, which is the BIOS version (leave the others alone).
There should be instructions in the manual that comes with the card fif you're a bit confused (it's in the others, so it should be there this go around as well). There's also confirmation check boxes to be marked before any flash is actually performed anyway (nice little safety feature), so you can look around without causing problems.
Thanks, you've really helped out.
One question that does come across though is once I flash the card with EFI and select the SSD as a boot drive from an existing OSX install I will want to install Mac OSX fresh on this now bootable SSD and ditch the default OSX installation on which I chose the SSD as the boot drive. Can I do this? Or must I clone the existing OSX install onto the new SSD drive first?
I was thinking after making the SSD boot drive I could simply boot off the OSX install discs and install OSX on this SSD?
It's going to be a new system with no important data, so I don't care about cloning the existing OSX install which comes on the 1TB HDD with the 8-core 2010 Mac Pro. In fact I am going to pull that drive out altogether.
Perhaps I am complicating things too much here and after flashing the card to EFI, I can just shut down, take out the original 1TB HDD with OSX. Start the PC, launch the Areca EFI RAID BIOS menu with the right key press, put the 2x SSD's in pass through mode and 4x 3TB in RAID5. Afterwards just boot off the OSX cd and it will see the 2x SSD drives and the RAID5 volume and just install OSX on one of the SSD's like I want? Will I have troubles installing Win 7 through bootcamp on the 2nd SSD drive when its running off the Areca in pass through mode ?
Also maybe you know, for installing 2x 6G SSD's in the 2nd 5'25" optical bay I obviously need either the OWC multimount adapter bracket 2.5 to 5.25 or other, but for power do I need a SATA power Y splitter or something to get power to both SSD's ? Both of these will be connected to the Areca in pass through mode, the length of the included miniSAS cable should be fine to reach to the SSD's in the optical bay right ?
Finally the one question that I can't find a definite answer to from anyone is if the X5690 Xeons will work in the 8-core Mac Pro, I know the X5680 do from others on this forum. OWC is offering the X5690 in their CPU upgrade options so I take it works. But maybe they flash/alter the EFI to support the microcode for the X5690 ?

Have you tried running Windows 98 as virtual machine (VM) in Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion (both have demos to download) or VirtualBox? Windows 98 software is hardly that demanding, that it needs to run native, I could even run Command & Conquer via VM on my 2007 iMac once or twice.

No. Not a good thing for iPod users.
As a fairly typical iPod owner, I fail to see why.
For those that currently use iTMS, the presence of other music providers supplying and actively marketing "iPod compatible" tracks will create competition that Apple currently don't have. This will drive prices down, or force Apple to add value to their own offerings. (For those that don't buy via iTMS, instead choosing to rip CDs or use P2P networks, it makes no difference either way).
For the broader market, increased availabilty of "iPod compatible" tracks from various suppliers can only enhance the iPods appeal. Clearly it would be preferable for Apple to licence their actual DRM to other suppliers, but they won't. This is a happy workaround.
Either way, I see this as a positive for iPod users. If you, personally, have an objection to the competition or prefer the integrated approach offered by Apple, keep on using iTMS. Simple.
