If you want the constant result and the random results, you need to output to an array. Right click the loop tunnel and select "Enable Indexing" to change the output from the last iteration of the loop to an array of all the iterations.
I changed your example to a for loop because while loops with a fixed number of iterations bug me.

Easy question I'm sure. imac hard full (500gb) mostly from iphoto. no capacity left. what are my options? I've thought of an external drive of 1tb and then a 2nd external drive of 3tb to back up both???? please help.

easy question I'm sure. imac hard full (500gb) mostly from iphoto. no capacity left. what are my options? I've thought of an external drive of 1tb and then a 2nd external drive of 3tb to back up both???? please help.

Those are the options - more space is more space.
Moving the iPhoto Library is simple:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

This is for CS5 if it matters.
I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
thanks for any help.

This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
Before I found this, it ruined my week.

i have an easy question. I need to store data in a 1D array so that the first data is written in the place of index 1 the second in index 2 aso. I've tried it but somehow either i only had the last data in all indexes or only the last data in the last index. I am posting you a vi. I know where i should change it but i need a small idea oder change in the vi.

Please save your VI in ver 8.2 and then paste it on the forum so that i may help in making it into what you want. Without seeing the VI i am guessing that you have elements or 1-D arrays that you want to append into a single array.
Its simple whether its the elements that you want to build into 1-d array or arrays that you want to make into a single array. Just use the build array function. Connect the input wires to the element and you'll have your 1-D array, provided you havent unchecked Concatenate Inputs in which case you will have a higher order array instead.
Anyways kindly paste it in changed format so that i may help.

Profit center field in Material MD - Easy question

Hi Experts,
I have an easy question..
The material master data screen have a tab 'General Plan', and there is the field 'Profit Center'.
a) Is this field is filled, which is the impact in the system?
b) is this value (profit center) used in other area or calculation?
c) What happend if this field is empty?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The path told in above reply is correct but making profit centre mandatory for only two plants is not possible.
You can make it mandatory for specified Material Type or you can make it mandatory while doing selected Transaction Like MM01 or MM02 etc

Hopefully easy question...

I am new to TestStand and have a couple of (hopefully) easy questions. I am using TestStand 3.5.
1) I have written a couple of sub-sequences in another file that we use for common tasks. Some of the parameters we pass will always be the same variable name. Is there a way I can get that default parameter name to show up when I write the program to call this sub-sequence so I wont have to enter it each time?
2) When I run a program that calls a sub-sequence in the above file, the first time I run it, I get an error saying the resource already exists... If I open the sub-sequence file in TestStand, and then close it, it is fine after that.
Thanks for your help!

With TestStand the answer is usually 'yes' it is just a matter of which way is best for you.
1)
TestStand has a full application interface so that you can pragmatically read parameter names and types, and populate calling programs with the right stuff. This takes some learning. There may be an easier way depending on what you are doing.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you write a program to call the subsequence. In TestStand 4.0 ( don't have 3.5 installed) you can create a Sequence Call template step that can be used in new sequences that you program. That is, I can open a new sequence, drop a generic Sequence Call step and rename it, configure it to call your subsequence by choosing the right path, sequence file, values/expressions to be passed to the subsequence, and then I can save this step as a template (drag to the Step section of the template window). Then, when I have a brand new sequence, I can drop an instance of this template step into my sequence, with the parameter values preconfigured. Assuming all the expressions are valid, you're ready to go.
2)
Without more information I can't help with this one. Perhaps the sequence file that contains the called subsequence is not in one of your search directories (see Configure>>Search Directories) and therefore it can't be found until you open, identify and save the calling sequence file. What error code are you getting?

What Puzzles Me About Apex

Recently I needed to rearrange nearly 50 columns in a "classic" type report in one of my Apex 4.0.1 applications. It was so laborious and tedious. In the "Report" tab, one by one I had to click the up or down arrows on each successive row, all the while keeping my eyes focused on where I was in the report lest I overshoot my target destination and, horrors, lest I mistakenly move the "wrong" column. It was an exercise in patience. How I longed for a simpler way to do this. Even having the option to move an item entirely to the top or entirely to the bottom of the column stack (as supplied for a "shuttle" item, for example) would have helped. But, alas, not even this amenity exists.
After finally completing this task, I began dwelling on other areas in Apex that I (and if one searches through just this past year's posts in this Forum, others as well) find frustrating. I wanted to know what others and, especially, members of the Apex development team, think about these things. Hence, the reason for this post. I am puzzled why the following things have not been addressed.
1) As mentioned at the outset, there is not an easier way to rearrange column ordering in both "classic" and IR reports. When reports (commonly) have 25 or more columns, and especially if one requires one or more columns to be moved from one end of the stack to the other, this is a productivity killer.
2) The Apex API makes it easy to create all sorts of objects within a region: text fields, display only items, dropdowns, popups, and now even JQuery like dynamic actions. But the one item that Apex does not make it easy to create is a hyperlink. This has always puzzled me. Surely one of the fundamental constituants of the web is the hyperlink. All Apex offers are fields (on forms, within SQL queries, etc.) in which the developer may construct a link. But there is no interface that walks the devleoper through the process of creating a link. One may say that creating a link should be one of those basic things every Apex/web developer ought to know. But one may equally apply that logic to most of the other aforementioned items. And I believe creating a hyperlink is more complex than creating, say, an input text field. Instead, one must muddle through the docs or look at previous examples to figure out how to construct an appropriate link. Why is there no step-by-step interface in the Apex API to help with this? There is for, say, a text field or a dropdown, but not for a link. Strange.
3) You need to create a form with 10 columns and 15 rows. Forget it. Apex complains about "a 100 cell limit on a form". This is another one of those puzzlements. What is the rational for this limit? It is so un-realistic and does not jive with today's business requirements. I first ran into this limitation on a form way back in version 1.x. And here we are three major versions ahead and we are still looking at this limitation. Why?
4) A fellow developer recently needed to import a page (not the application, just one of the pages) from one workspace to another. These two workspaces happened to reside in different Oracle instances (Dev and Prod).
Unlike importing an entire application, there is no intuitive way to do this. Instead, one must go into the actual export .SQL file and modify several of the included parameters. And even this is not straightforward. Surely, there needs to be an easier way (meaning, automatic way as in clicking a few buttons).
5) Years ago I used Microsoft's FrontPage tool to create a website. One of its nice features is the ability to automatically generate a "site map" of your website. A diagram would be created in which one may easily see which page "calls" or "redirects" to another page. Over the years I have either created (or inherited) Apex applications that sport 50 or more pages. Starting with, say, page 10, have you ever tried to figure out what page(s) called or redirected to page 10? If your Apex app only has 5 pages total, this is not a big deal. But with 50+pages, this is a big deal. A sitemap would have proved an invaluable productivity enhancer at this point. You might think, well, this would be a great Apex plugin idea. And you would be correct. But what puzzles me is that shouldn't this be a builtin "feature" of the Apex API, especially in a fourth major release of the product? Yes, I'm aware that Apex provides views from which one could gather this type of "which page called another page" information. It's just that I am using an API for the main purpose of making database/web development faster/easier. From a business perspective, this means saving money. For example, strictly speaking one need not bother with JQuery. Everything JQuery can do can be done using straight Javascript. It's just that JQuery provides an API making it much easier to implement common Javascript tasks. It's the same with the Apex API. I should not have to wait for someone to create a "sitemap" plugin. I realize that creating such a sitemap is not trival. Still, the logic/algorithm has existed for years as seen in FrontPage, DreamWeaver, and other APIs. I am puzzled why the APEX API does not already include this feature.
6) Recently, I needed to position several text fields within a given region of a page. It proved to be another exercise in patience. I needed to muddle with css style tags. Save my work. Refresh another browser window in order to see the results. Then go through the whole exercise over and over. Worse, while positioning a field I unitentionally moved other fields and regions into un-expected places on the screen. Worse yet, IE (version 8 and 9) caused these items to appear one way while Firefox (version 3.x) positioned them a different way. When the dust finally settled, I fould myself pining away for a tool like DreamWeaver in which I could just use my mouse to position items on the screen, all the while in the background the tool writes the necessary css style tags (cross browser compatible to boot). Yes, I realize that the Apex API is a "declaritive" environment, not a "GUI" based one. Still, in my code-tempered brain, I believe there is some way to meld the two and make it easier, more intuitive to position fields and regions on a page. This, too, is a great puzzlement to me.
Reading this, one might conclude that Elie is really "down" on Apex. This would be wrong. On the contrary, I like Apex quite alot and have been using it at my various work places over the past seven years. As mentioned at the outset, I wrote this out of my frustration in completing a task that I would have thought should not be so tedious.
Things like dynamic actions are, indeed, useful and even "cool". But in my experience I have found the more "mundane" tasks like rearranging report columns and positioning fields on a page and deciphering the page flow in a website are the things that developers spend the most time on. These are the things that any database/web development API should be attempting to streamline.
So, I am wondering why the above issues (and likely there are others) have not been addressed despite the fact that we are now in the fourth major release.
Thank you.
Elie

Hi, VANJ.
I want to thank you for your comments.
With respect to:
[1]: I did not realize that the "tree view" offers report column rearrangement. I'm so used to using the Component View that I did not bother to check the Tree View all that thoroughly. I guess, then, "I need to".
[2]: I was referring to an Apex interface that allows developers to create different types of links (absolute; relative; specify targets such as "_self", "_blank"; specify anchor tags; mailto links). Especially, I was looking for an interface making it easy to specify the various parts of an Apex link such as the debug flag, the printer friendly tag, and the "pass item/value" pairs tags. I realize none of these things are terribly difficult. Still, I at least cannot always remember the correct syntax for these different types of links. And this is especially true for the syntax needed for the Apex type links. I often need to refer to online docs and such. It just would be a time saver if the Apex API would offer such an interface much like it currently does for many other web ytype components like input fields and such.
[3]: I had always thought that the 100-item limit refers to"100 cells" in a form. I did not realize that this is referring to 100 page items. That said, I would have sworn that I had received an error about this limit on a form page. And I definitely did not have more than 100 page items on that page. I am not sure if the 100-page item limit also includes "page 0 "type items since these appear on every page in the application. In any case, I seriously doubt that I had anywhere close to 100 page items (page 0 or otherwise) on my form page when encountering this limit. Also, considering the numerous comments on this Forum about this "limit", I doubt that these unfortunate souls also had more than 100 page items on their page when they experienced this same "limit". In any case, it's an easy thing to check out, and so, I will do that.
[4]: What I had hoped for was a GUI type interface that just makes it "drop dead simple" to copy a page from one workspace to another, similar to the intuitive interface Apex provides to importan entire application. I had not heard of the apex_application_install utility. I'll defintely be checking this guy out. Thank you. You said it offers some flexibility. By this, do you mean that it offers a way to import a page from one workspace to another?
[5]: Ah. We do agree here.
[6]: Thanks for mentioning the drag-and-drop feature. I had tried this out and unfortunately it just doesn't really help with respect to positioning regions and items on a page in a cross browser compatible fashion. A WYSIWYG interface would be a great feature in such a robust API as Apex.
Since creating my post, I thought of yet another couple of "puzzlements" I have with the Apex API.
7) I wonder why one may include only a single IR report on a page. This has always baffled me. I am aware that one can create a page containing multiple iframes. And then populate each iframe with an IR report that really resides on its own separate page. I've tried this technique and it works very nicely. Still, I can only wonder if the good folks at Oracle/Apex will one day make multiple IR reports ona single page a builtin feature rather than having to rely on this iframe workaround or a JQuery set of page tabs workaround.
8) Again with respect to IR reports, I am puzzled why an IR report can be based solely on SQL as opposed to PLSQL. I did find a workaround to this limitation by using an Oracle table function as the underpinning of the IR report. This works. Still it is a kludge. And so, as with (7), I can only hope a future release of Apex will remove this limitation.
Thank you.
Elie

Easy Question: Brush tool overlaps dark?

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with my brush tool - this is probably an easy question to most of you.
Here is an example of my issue, when brush strokes overlap, a darker color is created:
I'm trying to brush with one flat color, with no overlaping effect. Here is a photo of what I'm trying to do, but this example was done with the pencil tool. I want to do this with the brush:
I'd like to be able to switch from the top style to the bottom style when needed.
Thanks for any help with this - the usual way I go about this doesn't seem to work unless I'm doing something wrong, open to options, is this a preferences issue?

If your brush is supposed to be opaque then check Opacity and Flow are 100% in the Options bar when Brush Tool is active.

Easy question: iview update after upload par?

Hi community,
I have an easy question but i could not test it atm.
Does an iview that is based on a par file gets updatet automatically after you reüpload the par file?
And does the pages where the iview is in gets auto-updated aswell?
Kind regards,
Michael

that was what i was tinking, thx.
Guess i made a little mistake somewhere else that i overlooked.
Thats why i was not sure and asked it here.
grtz,
Michael.

Easy question hopefully.....

I have an easy question but am having a mental block. How can I assign the value of 0.05 to restock? What I need to do is return a 5% restocking value added onto the item. Make sense?
//Type.java
public class Type extends Office // Start of public subclass Itemtype that stores office items color.
private String color; //get string name
private float restock; //get float value of restock
private float item; //get float value of total items
public Type(String color,float restock, float item)
{ // constructor to initialize the fields
this.color = color;
this.restock = restock;
this.item = item;
public float getRestock()
return (this.item * this.restock) + (this.item);
} //end public subclass Type

Don't crosspost. Too late this time, but don't do it again.

A really easy question...I think.

Hi everyone,
I have turned the internet inside-out looking for a simple
tutorial on this and so far I think they have all taken me kind of
a long way around. Basically what I want is text/photos/buttons/
inside the
box that are
"scrollable" without having to scroll left or right. My Flash
document is 800x533px. I've tried doing the whole ScrollPane thing
going through about 5 tutorials with different methods but it says
I have to do New Symbol/Movie Clip and the so-called "stage" that
you construct the movie on doesn't allow you to change dimentions
as far as I know. I can only change the dimensions of the main
Stage and the ScrollPane. I feel like this is a simple task so any
help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this is a stupid
question. Thanks everyone.

Ok so i have the new Airport Express 802.11n jobbie and i have just managed to set it up with my BT homehub
the green light is on and its working (i think)
Ok so the reasons i bought it was.
1) love the wireless printing idea
2) love the wireless music idea
3) to plug an Ethernet Voip phone into (the home hub is in another room)
4) i got it for £52.95
ok so i have connected it in client mode (i think) where all the computers (theres is 3 of them in our house) connect to the homehub and so does the airport.
What i want to know is how do i stop the other 2 computers using the airtunes and the wireless printing features. Basically i want the airport to myself for my home office which it was bought for and don't want everyone else stealing the features.
Thanks!

+What i want to know is how do i stop the other 2 computers using the airtunes and the wireless printing features.+
Easy Questions....But not easy answers
Since you have configured the AirPort Express in the home office as a client on the network, it's going to be visible and accessible from any other devices on the network. There's no way to change this or prevent access to the office AirPort Express.
If...you configure the office AirPort Express to "create a wireless network", and set it up with a different wireless network name and password, you could create a "private" network for yourself.
Here, I am assuming that the stereo is connected to the office AirPort Express, is that correct?
The downside to this approach is that you would not have internet access on this network.
If...you connected the AirPort Express to the HomeHub using an ethernet connection, you might be able to access the internet from your "private" network. I say might because I don't know enough about the HomeHub to know whether this would be allowed. I think you should assume that it can't to keep expectations at a realistic level.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Easy question what puzzle me
