Just another reminder that users should NOT launch iMovie or Garageband projects from the Network drive (aka – “U Drive”, “Share Drive”). While you are encouraged to put a COPY of your iMovie or Garageband project on the network drive for storage purposes, you can not open the project from there or the file will become corrupted. This problem is compounded by the network problems that we’ve been having this week.

Users should work on their files locally (on the machine), save the project, close iMovie, then put a copy of the project on the network drive. When you are ready to work on the project again, you would then drag the file out of the network drive and onto the desktop (or onto the drive called ‘Storage’). Then you can double click the file to launch iMovie or Garageband.

If you have any questions, or need more information, please contact:

ACS and CMS would like to ensure that the software you expect to use for the Fall 2008 semester is available and working. In order to avoid last minute problems for your class, we strongly encourage you to take a moment and visit the following websites:

For Computer Labs go to: http://www.cortland.edu/acs/lab_schedule.asp
(Click on the lab you will be teaching in and review the “Current and Proposed Software” list.)

For Tech Classrooms go to http://www.cortland.edu/acs/classrooms.asp

In addition, software that is included with a textbook may not function as expected because of the way the software is maintained both in terms of licensing and security in the computer image. Please test it in the lab/tech classroom that you are assigned, or submit a software request form (http://www.cortland.edu/acs/forms.asp ) along with a copy of the software to ACS and we will test it for you.

If you find there is a software issue(s), please contact the Technology Help Center, x2500, and they will forward your message to the appropriate ACS staff member.
Over the summer, staff will be busy updating and upgrading many of the computer and tech classroom facilities. There are tentative plans to upgrade the following computer facilities: Bowers 119, Bowers 150 (Macintosh), PER Mobile Tablet lab, Library Late Night Reading Room, and Library 117 (Windows) lab. There are plans to update all Tech classrooms and Media carts with new computers as well.

Thank you very much and have a great rest of the semester!

For students who receive a warning that their mailbox is at or near the size limit remember to check the following folders for messages:

Inbox

Sent

Drafts (this is the one that most people skip)

Deleted

Also, you can empty your Deleted Items quickly by right-clicking on it and selecting Empty Deleted Items.

Don’t forget that it is not the NUMBER of messages that you have in your mailbox that causes you to hit the 50mb limit, but the SIZE of the messages. In a lot of cases we’ve found that there are only one or two messages with massive attachments in a student mailbox that are causing the problem.
