From MacBook To External And Back

Hi, I followed everything on here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748 to bring all of my music onto an external whilst retaining the play count information and ratings and everything (I think) but how can I bring this music from the external and put it back on my MacBook HD, again, whilst retaining the play count information, etc.
Thanks! -Mike.

How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external HD, on my iMac ?

How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external Hard Drive, on iMac? "Not enough storage??" is message that appears.

How much free storage do you have on your iMac's system drive and on the external hard drive?
And how have you been trying to open the library? Do not import the library into iPhoto.
You simply connect the hard drive with the library and double-click the iPhoto library on the external drive to open it in iPhoto. That will work, if you are using iPhoto 9.6, the only version of iPhoto, that is compatible with MacOS X 10.10.
Or hold down the alt/options key while double clicking the iPhoto icon. This will bring up a library chooser panel. Select your library on the external drive.
If the iPhoto Library has been created by an older version of iPhoto it will need to be upgraded to the new version, and that may require temorary additional free storage on your system drive and the drive with the library.
If the library has been created by iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier, you need to install and run iPhoto Library Upgrader, see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB

Hey.
I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
Thanks for help

I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
How did resolution come into this?
To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
• make a flattened copy of the original image
• place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
• add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image

PO number range- change from internal to external and then change it back

we have following situation- we had certain issues with the system where most of the data got curreptrd except data relative to procurement for dates March 7 to March 30. We have extracted the procurement data - PR / PO etc for the dates March 7 to March 30 and we want to upload this data in the uncorrupted enviornment dated March 6 using the old numbers originally assigned by the system.
I need to change the configuration for PR and PO number range from Internal to external so we can upload PR and POsfrom March7 to March 30 and then swich the number ranges back to internal so we can enter new data dating from March 31.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi
Create external number range and assign it to theno. range external in that Document type then you can use both internal and external number ranges for that doc without disturbing the system once completed remove the external number for that doc type. while creating the PO give the number you want before saving so that the PO will be saved with the number you had given.
Note: Make sure that you are not using duplicate PO no already assigned

AO amplitude transitions from 0 to 10V (and back to 0 again) within running VI

Hi,
I have a NI PCI-6225 multifunction DAQ that I am using for Geophysical measurements. I am applying 10V from one AO channel and measuring voltage differences with 49 AI channels. For the method I am using I must follow these steps:
1. Set voltage out = 0V
2. Take Self Potential measurements from all AI channels
3. Turn the AO channel ON with an applied voltage = 10V (1Hz square waveform)
4. Take measurements from all AI channels
5. Loop back to step # 1
At the present, I have the VI set up to apply the AO of 10V and to take measurements over time. The only thing missing is to take the Self Potential measurements while the applied voltage is at zero volts, run the VI in its current configuration, and then to start over again.
I am using the Express VI DAQ Assistant to set up all of the electrodes in the array for the applied voltage and the measured voltage and am able to do everything needed except include the applied voltage to zero for the Self Potential measurement.
I have attempted to use the DAQmx subVI's "Stop" and "Clear" (and any other combination of subVI's) to allow for the channel to be freed up within the VI, but the output channel then gives an error signal in the next cycle of the loop.
I am not sure what else to do, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dylan
Note: Attached is the VI in which the problem is occuring. I have this VI as a subVI within a timed loop that will execute every 60 seconds.

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?

When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Time machine backup from USB drive connected and backing up to Time Capsule

Hi all forum virgin here, so be gentle.
I'll get straight to it. Much net trawling hasn't resulted in a definitive answer on this which surely I'm not alone in
I have: MBP networked to TC (where TM resides) and USB drive connected.
A- I simply want to TM backup not only MBP but USB drive on network as well?
As far as I can see there is no way of selecting this and after TM back has finished the only way I can check is
to enter TM (fancy space screen view) and obviously idrive doesn't appear in finder view.
I have tried connecting to MBP and obviously TM backs it up too and I can see in Enter TM. But I need this
drive on network so a further 2 things here:-
B- when I remove from MBP and TM backs up again will it see it's not there and delete as a change?
C- will it keep in previous backups if I cycle back to that particular one?
Andy help here would be most welcome

Sooner or later, yes, as LaPastnague says. It depends on when the backups are done. The first backup of each day is kept for a month; all others are deleted after 24 hours. After a month, the first backup of the week is kept as long as there's room, and the others deleted.
Obviously not a reliable solution.
A better method might be to use a different app to back it up to the TC's internal HD, but that presents another problem. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSynch can do network backups (others probably can, too).
So you might be able to "reserve" some space on the TC's HD and use one of those apps. As LaPastnague says, though, that will be relatively slow.
If there isn't enough room on the TC's internal HD, you could get another USB drive and connect it to the TC also (via a powered USB hub) and back up to it. That will be even slower, though.

Can I produce a frequency sweep a PXI-5652 from 1GHz to 2GHz and back down to 1GHz at a rate of 1KHz with RT?

I need to produce a triangular frequency sweep over a range of at least 1GHz. This sweep will start at 1GHz go up to 2GHz and back down to 1GHz and repeat the cycle. I need this cycle to repeat at a rate of 1KHz. The sweep must be as smooth as possible with the frequency steps being no more than say 1MHz. I have a RT controller chassis that I can install the PXI-5652 into. If I dedicate one of the processor cores to this function and reserve the second core for my data acquisition and processing do I have and chance or am I just dreaming?
Thanks,
Bruce Barnes

Hi Bruce,
If I interpret this correctly that you need to go from 1 GHz to 2 GHz and back to 1 GHz in 1 ms (you want to repeat this at a rate of 1 kHz) then this isn't possible with the PXI-565x series of RF Signal Generators. These have a tuning time of around 1-5 ms for one frequency step, and tuning from 1 G to 2 G in steps no greater than 1 MHz would mean at least 1000 steps.

Moving movie files from internal to external and keeping the metadata

I tried following this advice
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17332550#17332550
but it does not work on my osx lion. When I right click, I'm either in Finder or, if I right click Movies (on the left hand column of iTunes) I get a drop down menu to export a .txt file.
I need to put my movies (only) from the internal iMac HD to an external and keep all the metadata.
Any suggestions?

Hi Robert - welcome to the forum, and to the Apple MacIntosh world!
Just a suggestion - if you have a dv (tape) video-camera, then you can record from your VCR tapes, directly onto a camera-tape, and thence into iMovie, without further loss of quality. Should you not have such a camera, but are keen to do movie editing using iMovie, then that should be an essential Christmas present to yourself!

Exporting from Lightroom to Photoshop and back to Lightroom shows different results in Lightroom than in Photoshop

I has set the color space to ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have also calibrated my monitor.
But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.

Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.

Trasferring Audio Edits as AAF from Premiere to Nuendo and back

Hello everybody,
I'm a Sound Designer for video games, and also deal with cinematic sequences. I use Nuendo for audio editing / sound design, while the video editors work with Premiere. We share the same audio footage that is stored on our internal server, and we copy the footage manually (or over Perforce) on our local PCs. Basically to make sure we're always dealing with the same footage in a fixed and locked format during the entire production chain from capture to final render. This obviously makes an AAF with 'embedded' audio obsolete and in fact unwanted, as well as any other "work-in-progress" audio render from one platform to another.
Situation 1: Premiere -> Nuendo
In Premiere we have several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
AAF is exported from Premiere
AAF is then imported into Nuendo
Result:
Stereo tracks are imported wrong, because split into mono, which naturally duplicates the amount of tracks.
Stereo footage is now duplicated too due to duplication of track amount.
Stereo footage is still stereo, because manually copied from server.
Expectation:
Stereo tracks should remain stereo without splitting or duplicating tracks.
Situation 2: Nuendo -> Premiere
In Nuendo there are several Stereo audio tracks with stereo footage.
AAF is exported from Nuendo
AAF is then imported into Premiere
Result:
Stereo tracks are imported as Mono tracks (this time without duplicating the track number)
Stereo footage is not accepted, due to mismatch with track format (Mono)
Expectation:
Stereo tracks should remain stereo which then accept stereo footage
It's really important for us that the audio footage doesn't change format during the production chain. So for instance splitting stereo into mono left / mono right is not a good option as we want the original footage to remain untouched from capture to final render. So we need stereo tracks to remain stereo and mono tracks to remain mono, just as the original edit.
Using OMF instead of AAF causes the same problem, and adds more problems with the naming of the footage. So AAF is currently the best yet buggy method we have.
In the past I have transferred AAF files from Protools into Nuendo, and it worked fine, which makes me tend to believe the solution has to be somewhere in Premiere.
Any hints, tips and useful experiences are very welcome. Thanks a lot!
Regards
Christian

Upgrading from 1.6.8 and backing up

I have a question about upgrading from 1.6.8 to the latest Mountain Lion release on my MacBook Pro. I'm really new to this whole Apple thing (been on Windows past years) so please bear with me. I've read the "Backup now" article/tip on this website and some other articles, but I still have some questions:
I'm planning to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion release. I want to make a full backup/clone of the current drive inside the MacBook Pro to an external drive. If the upgrade causes issues I would like to be able to simply "go back in time" using the data from the external drive and have my old version of 1.6.8 back.
Nothing more, nothing less. I just want to be sure I can quickly go back if anything problematic arises.
Can you do this with time machine or with the disk utility function, or do I need 3rd party programs like CCC etc? And how would I go about restoring, assuming for example that the upgrade causes an issue like unable to boot MacOS mountain lion. Would I reinstall MacOS from the disk I got when I bought the MacBook Pro, and from there restore the backup from the external drive? Or do you have to do something else? From the articles I read I'm not entirely sure how the restore process works if an upgrade fails or causes issues?
Again: I'm really new to how Apple handles this kind of stuff. Any help and tips appreciated.

You can do that with Time Machne or one of the Cloning software programs.
I suggest doing both.
On your external drive create at least 2 partitions or more.
Make one of the partitions about 100GBs bigger then the total space used on your internal drive. That partition is for a Clone of your internal drive.
Make the second, if the leftover external space allows, twice the size of you internal drive.
And if there is more space available on the external just make a third partition with it. Format All of them Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID (That is under the Options button on the partition tab of Disk Utility) and give them all unique names so you remember what they arre for.
Clone your internal to the one partition that is 100GBs larger then the space used on the internal.
Once that is done start Time Machine, found in Sys Prefs, and selec the partition you may that is twice the size of the space used on the internal and run a Time Machine Backup. Once the backup is finished turn Off Time Machine, eject the external drive and disconnect it from the system and then Reboot your system .
Once all that is done then buy, download and install Mountain Lion to your internal drive.
If for some reason you don't care for it you will need the Original Snow Leopard Re-Install System Disc that came with your system. Boot the system from that and wipe the drive and use the Time Machine backup to Restore the system back to before you did the upgrade.
Or Boot from the external drive partition that holds the Clone and use DU to wipe the internal drive then use the cloning software program to Re-Clone the internal drive.
