HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

Is/was failing or has failed?
If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.

Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

What is the best way to setup premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps and 23.976fps for final

What is the best way to setup a premiere sequence for export when mixing 24fps (CG) and 23.976fps (live action) for final output at 23.976 (vimeo and such).
Right now my sequence is at 24fps, and when I export to 23.976, my dialogues seem to shift.
Should I set my sequence at 23.976fps instead of 24fps?
Thanks in advance for the help, and sincere apologies if this is a noob question.
David

That makes it easy. Remove the CGs from the project. Go to Edit>Preferences>Media... and set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 23.976. Then when you import the image sequence, PP will assign it the correct frame rate.
Edit in a 23.976 sequence.

I have two users on the same MAC and want to have separate ITunes libraries stored on my time capsule. what's the best way to ensure that is done?

I have 2 users on a MAC each with separate accounts (email, photo, ITunes) and I want to migrate my ITUnes Library over to a time capsule so that each usewr still has their own library bu don't want to duplicate songs. What is the best way to have both Itunes pointed to separate libraries both stored on the Time Capsule?

A bit of basics on iTunes. iTunes does 99% of what you see through a library.itl file in the iTunes folder. This file is a database and in it are references to the actual media files. These files can be anywhere in theory, but if you have iTunes set to default then they are nicely organized in media folders in the iTunes folder. You have probably moved them to some central shared location in the past, then built up two individual libraries around that central location.
iTunes is very fussy about a person dragging files to a different location, and that goes double if the other location is on a different drive. You can move files, but it is best to let iTunes do it so it can keep track. If this was just for one person I'd say go into preferences, select the other drive for media location, then close preferences. My understanding (never done this before) is iTunes will then ask you if you want to move your media. Say yes and iTunes will move it and keep track of it -- for your library. Now when you go to the other person's library, it opens and you see loads of ! because their library is still looking for the media on the same drive as the library is located on. I don't think it will work (but you could always try) to re-assign the media location to the external drive because the reference in the database is to look for such-and-such a file on the internal drive. iTunes did that for the first library as part of the move, but not for the second one. Note that typically when you want to move a single user's collection from drive to drive we advise moving the whole iTunes folder, library files and all, to another drive, but you don't have that structure.
So I'm not sure what to advise. If it were me and I was absolutely gung-ho on doing this I would re-assign the media with one library. Then edit the .xml version of the library file for the second library so it points to the new file locations and import this into a fresh iTunes library for the second user. This isn't the perfect solution because nominally the .xml version does not 1005 replicate all the characteristics of the original .itl file (which cannot be edited).
Or maybe some other user bas a better idea.

What is the best way to use a SSD for Photoshop/photo editing?

Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: http://pastebin.com/J9byczse
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet since I'd like some advice first.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.
Thanks for any help!

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

What is the best way to create a bookmark for a returning user??

Hello all... hello again Steve...I am back with another question- what is the best way to implement a bookmark system so returning users can pick up where they left off in an AW lesson? I have tried the usual internet searches, always do, but the few samples/answers I have found were AW5, not much help...
I have a dozen or so maps attached to my framework, I would like a user to return to the last map he viewed before closing. (My AW is communicating fine with an Access database, so if passing a variable to Access and then back to AW when the lesson starts is on the right track, let me know...) If the answer here is too complicated, maybe nudge me in the right direction and I will dive back in.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some guidance, I really do appreciate it!
Terry

Try this outline, see if it helps ...
Grab a reference to the Map as you enter it, then save that to the database when you leave.
You want something that will give you the equivalent to a page number - if you have 7 maps hanging off the Framework, and the user is in the 6th map when he exits, you want to save the number 6.
There are scores of ways to do this, but probably the easiest is just to attach a calc to each map that has this code
(I don't have Authorwar handy to check syntax, so you should check!)
BookMarkPage = ChildIDtoNum(IconParent(IconID), IconID) <-- tells Authorware to return the "page number" of the current map
Save BookMarkPage to your Access database on exit .
On return, read the bookmark back into BookMarkPage, ask the user if he wants to return to bookmark. If yes, use a calculated navigation that uses
ChildNumToID(@the name of your Framework or it's ID, BookMarkPage)
Note that you could wrangle something similar by saving the IconID of your Map, or the IconTitle, but both of these can break if you ever update your file by adding or removing pages, renaming them etc. With this method, all you need is a simple page count check that ensures that you are not trying to nav to a page number that does not exist (use IconNumChildren).

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

The best is you use ASM (maybe you do it already) and put one failure group on the first disk array and the second failure group on the second array. Then you can ASM let do the work.

What is the best way to present favorite photos for a group of people

What is the best way to present your favorite photos for a group presentation?? I use iPhoto library. I also have Aperture downloaded on my iMac. Not too familiar with Aperture. It is for a milestone birthday.

I think it's easiest to work from iPhoto. When I had to do a similar presentation for a birthday bash, I loaded the picts from my camera and some from my computer into iPhoto on a relative's MacBook Pro avalable at the site. It did not take a lot of time or trouble.
iPhoto allows fairly easy options for presenting the slide show , including various transitions and putting a sound track underneath.
Regardless of whether the presentation was or wasn't less elegant than what some more expensive software could do, the attendees loved what we did for that bash.
Never used Aperture so I don't know what it can do. You could ask in the Aperature forums here:

What is the best way to send one email for 2000+ address?

Hi I want to send oneemail msg (only text) from mor than 2000 address.
I want that the recp. will not c the other address (i. e. each address should be a BCC)
what is the best way to do it? sned 2000 emails or to send 20 emails with 1000 recp. ?
is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
10x alot Yonatan

is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
mail server you are using may be the limiting factor. However, most mail server handle 2000 recp. You will get smtp error 552 if the mail server cant handle 2000 recipients.

I would like to transfer my itunes library on my pc to my wifes Imac which has her itunes library on it. Is is possible to do this and have two separate librarys on one imac? If so, what is the best way to transfer it?

Is it possoble to transfer my itunes library from my pc onto my wifes Imac which has her itunes library and establish two accounts on her Imac? If so what is the best method to accomplish this? I have a itouch player.

There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it. Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts. After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
Now, is where you could do a couple of different things. If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window. If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library. You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option. Then import the music using either method above.

What is the best way to schedule a job for PI interface?

Hi,
I have this PI scenario to implement.
Every day, something (?) needs to trigger PI to call RFC function, get the data and insert it to database.
What is the best practice to schedule such a job in PI?
I want to know best practice to trigger PI interface and how to schedule it.
Also, do I have to use BPM for this?
Thanks for your help.
-Won
Edited by: WON HWANG on Sep 10, 2010 11:21 PM

Hi Won,
it depends a bit on the scenario that needs to be implemented. I will try to go point by point and give you the options
1. You will need to send a message to PI
     - This can be from PI or from ECC. I suggest you use an ABAP proxy client.
     - You will need to write an ABAP program that sends this message (calling the proxy client).
     - You can schedule this program in a job (SM37).
     - If users want control over the job, better schedule it in ECC; if only you or an administrator will control the job, you can do it in PI
     - I would use a generic format which you can reuse to trigger other interfaces: From- and To-date, Context, Action, User
     - You can have conditions in the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination to route the message to the correct interface, based on the Context and Action for example.
     - From- and To-date can be used to make selections in any RFC or table query.
2. You will need a BPM process in PI
     - Step 1: Receive the trigger
     - Step 2: Call the RFC
     - Step 3: Send to database
this is because the RFC call is synchronous, and you cannot route the response to another receiver than the sender of the RFC call. Another options is writing a wrapper in ECC around the RFC function, and at the end implement another PI ABAP proxy client that will be routed to your database interface.
Hope this helps.

What's the best way to store test parameters for future use?

I'm creating a test stand that will perform various "standard" tests. Each of the tests has it's own setpoints (integer numbers) as well as some string values that are stored in the log file with the data.
What is the easiest way to store these setpoints and strings so that I can pull them into the VI in the future, say by selecting a test type from a ring control, etc.?
I would also like to make this dynamic so that new test types can be stored from the vi. (i.e. I don't want to have to hard code all the future tests and their parameters).

I like INI files, too. If you are looking for an easy way to read and write your parameters to INI, take a look at the Variant Configuration File IO Library of the OpenG Toolkit.
