Other things Lightroom needs
Lightroom 3 Beta is okay. Some nice improvements. But could you add the following: 1. It would be nice to know what size a collection would be if you were to export it and burn a DVD for archiving purposes. 2. I like your idea of the Publisher>Export Plug-in, but you need one that works with the Copyright Office in D.C. It doesn't really matter if you watermark or not if you're not registered. I believe this would make Lightroom a monster killer application!!! If you could do it. Its painful to up load one image at a time to their website. I think you could at least do something that would make it a lot easier. I don't see a big difference from Flickr. 3. How about a "Book" module with templates etc. that could be exported out to you publisher of choice?

A TWM that can use Trayer/Tint2? Plus some other things I "need" in it
I know the beauty of TWM and all, but here's the real problem I'm having: I want to use my tray/bar setup. I've got it exactly how I want it and I don't want to mess with it right now. Specifically, I have conky, tint, and trayer all on the same line so I have maximal real estate going.
But every time I try a TWM I totally lose my ability to use those things. Now I can deal with not having my beloved right-click menu I guess, but I definitely need the following:
1) Alt-F2 run dialog
2) My tray and taskbar area untouched
3) ONLY three windows tiled (browser, chat room, IM window), all else should float
4) Not native taskbar thing
That' it, but for the life of me I can't configure any to do it. Maybe Awesome does but I'm not spending the six hours necessary to learn the language.I desisted from posting in this thread, because I thought you only wanted infor pertaining to TWM -- which I have never used. But since others have suggested you different WMs, I will go ahead and add my own 2 cents.
musca supports all that you want. I use it almost exclusively now. it uses dmenu which acts as a run dialog as well. You can however still choose to install gmrun or any other run dialog program that you want.
But I agree with Ashren, that if you want only a few types of windows tiled, then openbox or pekwm or even fluxbox would be a better way to go about it. In OB, you can set up per app rules in the rc.xml file under the
<applications></applications>
Note that you will have to get the WM_CLASS values for the apps that you want to tile. Use the geometry attributes to position them with/without decor and any other options that you might want.
Using scripts like wumwum or the above mentioned stiler is also another option.

I am trying to migrate my iTunes information from my PC to my Mac. I have installed the migration software required on the PC. The problem is that the Mac and the PC never link up even though from the PC I can see and access the Mac in it's network neighborhood.

Lightroom 1.2: XMP-bug still present and some other things
* I just upgraded to 1.2, but the XMP-bug is still present. When I turn on autowrite XMP LR starts using 50% (1 of 2 cores) of my CPU for quite a long time (15+ minutes) after startup. During that time the interface is somewhat sluggish (probably because of the lack of multi threading).
This behavior was also present in LR1.1. Turn off autoxmp and the cpu-usage will drop to 1-2% within a few moments of starting LR. Turn it on, and it will use your cpu for quite a long time (29.000 photos in my DB).
* One other thing I still notice: when using identity plates for printing, the identity plate doesn't rotate with the photo when switch from a landscape to a portrait photo (auto rotate is on to make things a lot easier). The print module is one of the greatest things in LR, but this still annoys me)
* Decent support for multi core CPU's is still lacking it seems. I have to run two export batches simultaneously to get my CPU to 100% cpu usage. Maybe it's an idea to split one export batch into several smaller ones so the can be processed at the same time using both cores.1.2 fixes a bug in the auto-write mechanism that severely effected the performance of auto-write when files with changes were offline. Unfortunately, we didn't have time in the cycle to drastically enhance performance of the XMP auto-write mechanism for making large batches of changes or toggling the option on and off. The Lightroom team is aware of these issues and is working to resolve them for a later release.
The wording of the download page is pretty obscure. For a more accurate, detailed review of the changes in 1.2, please refer to the blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/ . For a better understanding of ways to use the auto-write mechanism in the interim, check out my post at

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iPhone but under
Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone.
How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Mac Pro crashing on shutdown (and some other things)
The following behavior began about 4 or 5 days ago...
Mac Pro crashes/freezes every time I shutdown (or Restart). Some process seems to be not quitting on shutdown - the screen goes blue and I get the spinning beachball. It'll just hang like that indefinitely. To get it to shut down, I have to hold the power button for several seconds. After starting up again, the machine *mostly* runs fine, but there are some apps/services that either just don't do anything, or causes the Mac to hang, or get into a funk state. These other things that seem to destabilize it include:
Apple menu > About this Mac: nothing happens (no dialog)
iTunes: dock icon just bounces, iTunes never launches
System Prefs > Accounts > Login items: System Prefs hangs. Force quit allows Prefs to open again.
Some apps/services also cause things to hang:
Activity Monitor: quitting some processes causes Actvity Monitor to freeze
Clicking SOHO Notes (tab alonmg the edge of the monitor) results in spinning beachball
Rolling over Linotype FontExplorer in the Dock causes the Dock to freeze, FontExporer never opens
There are probably other things that would make it hang, I have not gone looking for them all
System details:
Mac Pro 4,1 .66 ghz, 8 GB RAM
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Dual monitors, two internal hard drives (internal; drive A, internal drive B), multiple external FW hard drives attached
I have already done the following:
Disk Utility: Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions
Disk Utility: Verified Disk, Repaired Disk - this found errors, and suggested reformat/reinstall
I have already booted off internal drive B and ran Disk Utility, then restarted and booted off internal drive A again. No difference.
I have Time Machine backups on an external 1 TB FW drive.
Late last night, I restarted, inserted my original Snow Leopard DVD, launched the MacOSX installer. Recovered a prior system by choosing Utilities > Restore System From Backup, selected a Time Machine backup a few days old (a day or two prior to the problem begining) on the external 1 TB FW drive, and initiated the restore. The estimated restore time was about 5 hours, so I went to bed and let it run. Got up early, and checked: it said the Restore operation was successful. I was relieved. But the same conditions continued - launching or rolling over the items listed above cause the same freeze/crash/hangs. Hangs on shutdown, only way to kill things is the power button. So now I'm disappointed.
I do have multiple backups of my data files across the external hard drives, but this is a large machine with a lot of stuff on it, and I'd really like to recover things wholesale, rather than having to reconstruct accounts and other things. Before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to take another shot at recovering the system from a Time Machine backup - this time, I'll pick a backup that's from a full week before the problems started (the idea being that maybe the backup I picked last time was not far enough back from whatever incident caused all this).
If the week-old Time Machine backup works, great. But if not...any suggestions?
Additional data points...
Nothing new was installed or updated (as far as I know, and I generally pay attention) in the days prior to the problem.
The last thing I recall doing on the computer before the problem began, was burning a DVD (using Toast) - something I do all the time. After that operation, I tried to shut down, and it froze.
The primary internal hard drive partition (internal drive A) seems to be the only one that's having trouble: if I reboot off of internal drive B, the problems do NOT occur - no hang on quit, etc.
That suggests it's not a hardware problem (logic board, etc.) but is something about the System on drive A.
It *could* be bad sectors on drive A - but I have some questions about that...
When I did the full system recovery via the MacOS installer (pulling the old system from Time machine), does the destination drive get reformatted? I don't recall being asked the usual partition/formatting questions.
When the installer does a system restore, does it do any integrity checking on the target drive, or does it just blindly lay down bits?
Does this "freeze on shutdown" (and related behaviors) sound familiar?
Any tips/suggestions to fix this?
Thanks in advance.More info and a question...
Did another full restore (from a Time machine backup on an external drive) last night - picked a backup from from 10 days ago, long before things became problematic. Still having the same issues.
So, I'm thinking the next thing to try is a low-level reformat of the internal drive(s) and then restore again. I have a couple questions about the finer points of that...
I'm following the instructions in this KB document: Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system.
Inserting my original Snow Leopard DVD, launching the MacOS installer, restarting, in the installer choosing Restore System from Backup. It appears that there is no re-formatting of the target drive in this case - it just over-writes.
My questions...
The contents of the target drive are going to get wiped and overwritten anyway. Do I have anything to lose/to risk by reformatting FIRST (using Disk Utility), then booting off the install DVD and restoring then?
My 1 TB internal drive is partitioned into the primary 750 GB partition (which is the problematic one) and a secondary 250 GB partition (which boots and runs fine). The secondary partition has some data I would prefer not to lose. I assume that if want to do a full reformat of the internal drive, that means the whole drive - both partitions - will be wiped (that is, I cant reformat just one partition on a single physical drive without reformatting the second partition). Correct?
I suppose I can back up the data that resides on the second partition to an additional external drive (I have extras) if needed - not a huge deal.
Do my new partition sizes need to exactly match the sizes of the original partitions? Neither is completely full, but I want to make sure that I will be able to restore the system and contents of the primary partition even if the new partition size is not bit-by-bit the exact same size as the old partition (I assume the new partition size just needs to be large enough to hold the backup - correct?).
So....I'm looking at the following sequence:
Back up the data I want off the secondary partition to an external drive
Boot off the Snow Leopard install DVD
Run Disk Utility and reformat (fully erase) the internall 1 TB drive
Partition that 1 TB internal drive to (more or less) the two previous (about) 750 GB + 250 GB partitions
Restore a recent Time Machine backup (from an external FW drive) to partition #1
Reasonable plan? Anything I'm missing here? Any other steps I should take?
Thanks for any help. -
When I use my Apple TV and try to play music from my computer I get an error: "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using 'myname'"
On my computer n iTunes Preferences / Sharing I have the "Share my library on my local network" checked with "Share entire library" -- no password, no update play counts. I've turned it off and on again.
The Apple TV settings show we are "talking to" my WIFI -- it has my network, shows a good signal strenght, all sorts of internet addresses and IP stuff I don't understand ...
The "Internet" tab works with some of those things I'd never use -- like I see the current NHL standings.
My TV works and I get an ATV signal and those little chimes / bongs when I hit things in the menu. And when it works I get audio so the cables and TV are okay.
In the past I had trouble with the settings for my favourite Internet Radio stations (the provider changed their URL but Apple didn't update the presets for a while) but those are now resolved.
I had a crappy old G class router and week signal strenght but I have a new N class Cisco router with a strong signal.
But other things are wonky:
* I play interent radio and my station will go fine for about five minutes then stop -- the little wheel spins trying to reconnect. Sometimes it resets but more often than not it won't. I just tried again four hours later and the same thing.
* I've unplugged the ATV and plugged it back in but no noticable improvement
* I tried to do the factory reset from the ATV menu. It says it will download the latest bla bla bla and after a few minutes tells me "Apple TV can't download latest update right now, try again later" -- I've tried three times today always with the same results.
* I unhooked it from the power and HDMI and plugged it into a Micro USB cable and plugged that into my Mac -- it doesn't show up in the devices in iTunes.
* I have a bunch of photos in a folder that I use for my ATV Screen Saver. A few weeks ago I added two photos to that folder -- they don't show up in the ATV screen show but the others still do.
* When I started today I checked my iTunes and the airplay icon didn't show in the bottom right (beside the genious icon and the little thing to show or hide the sidebar). Now I noticed the Airplay icon is there. When I try to switch from playing through my computer speaakers to my Apple TV I get an error "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the Airplay device "Apple TV"" -- the ATV shows that Airplay is on.
* I see from the ATV settings that I'm running ATV Software 4.4.3 (3323) and when I do a "Update Software" on the ATV it tells me that my software is current.
* My iTunes is 10.5.2 (11) and my OS is 10.6.8 -- both are up to date.
Yikes and double yikes!
Any ideas?Hey Chunk,
I love the idea of the ATV more than I have loved the little black box but ... famous last words ... my ATV seems to be working better these days.
A big challenge for me was too many variables at play -- new router, new ATV OS / firmware / whatever, changing internet radio presets, a less than perfect physical set up ... and a short attention span from yours truly.
Here's what I did. Somwhere in these changes things got "fixed."
* I unhooked the ATV and did a factory restore by hard wiring the ATV to my computer with a micro USB cable (no external power needed) working through iTunes (I run iTunes 10.5.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8).
* after the reset I now have ATV (is that an operating system or a firmware?) 4.4.4
* then I plugged it back into my home theatre and it didn't work :-) but in slightly different ways. The settings showed that I was connected to my home network but I couln't get connected using my Apple ID and no internet radio. (it is often counterintuitive -- like why when I want my ATV to talk to my iMac over my local network am I logging in to the iTnes Store with my Apple ID? but there you go.)
* I booked with the genius bar at the Apple Store and put my ATV in my pocket. They pulled out a TV, HDMI cable, ATV power source and even the remote -- all I provided was my little black ATV. We hooked the ATV to their TV and from the Apple Store (using thier WIFI) I logged in using my Apple ID and the thing worked fine.
* so now I knew that my ATV was up to date and it worked in the Apple Store using their network so it looked like the issue was my network.
* rebooted my router and noticed that when I had upgraded to the new super dooper Cisco n router we had plugged my iMac direct to the router via ethernet cable. I unhooked the ethernet and now just run my computer WIFI using AirPort.
And ...
It works. I use my ATV exclusivly for music -- my iTunes and internet radio and AirPlay -- and now both work fine. The ATV does pick up photos from my iPhoto for the screen saver and all that other stuff -- netflix, youtube, the hockey scores, ... all seem to be there. And my son played a video off his iPod Touch using AirPlay.
I know my approach is more scattered than a proper scientific try but ...
From my experience ... reset the ATV and get it up to date; see if it will work on someone else's network; check your network set up.
Good luck! -

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?
Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.

Help with Guilloches and other things?
Heya, i've used Illustrator before for a few things, but i'm still quite new to it. Hope you can help.
Ok so what im trying to do is make bank note from scratch. Dont worry, its for a college project and it'll be an entirely new design so theres no chance of anyone mistaking it for real money (althought I do want it to look real)
I wanted to include Guilloches in the design. These are the lines found on bank notes to make it harder to counterfeit:
I've experimented using shapes made of lines and using the blend tool to create multiple lines in between them, but it doesnt give the same effect. Is there a better way to achieve these results?
The other thing is cross-hatch shading. I want to include my own photo into the design (vain, i know ). Ive also found no way of doing this. Can you help me?
ThanksSorry, but Illustrator is really not ideally suited to banknote design.
I designed the current series of Icelandic banknotes so I know all about the problems involved.
You can make something that "looks" more or less like a banknote, but doing the actual artwork for a banknote is a totally different kettle of fish.
Illustrator (although a vector application) has pixel-based output (rip), whereas real banknote designs never use pixels, only lines.
In addition, the colour-banding used in real banknote printing (not gradients as such but specially mixed bands of colour inked onto up to 4 offset plates for each side of the note) makes line work extremely difficult to produce.
You can do guilloches with blends, repeat rotations and all kinds of distortions, but getting them to "ink" properly in 4 separations using gradated bands of colour is extremely complicated. It will cost you much hard work to produce a passable semblance of a banknote if you use only Illy.
You mention cross-hatching in a portrait. This again is fiendishly tricky to reproduce in Illustrator because engraved lines in intaglio are not of a constant weight. You can get part of the way using various brush strokes, but frankly I would advise you not to attempt it unless you are prepared to spend several weeks doing the job. It takes a skilled engraver up to three months to do a good portrait (with a burin on a steel plate, a few lines per day). I have always sent photographs or detailed pencil drawings to the engravers. Specialized applications are available that can produce a semblance to hand engraving, but they are really not very good and the outcome invariably involves a lot of manual tweaking. If you are good at drawing it might even be better to do the portrait by hand, but copying the style of engraved lines is very tricky unless done in considerable oversize.
May I suggest that it is considerably easier to produce colour banding effects using gradients in Photoshop. Copy Illy line work into Photoshop, lock layer transparency and colour with gradients. To do things correctly you will need 4 gradients - one for each offset separation plate - for each side of the note. Calculating the colour range for each plate will prove much more work that you suspect. And remember that each gradient should run the whole width of the note and only horizontally.
Depending on how real you want your "banknote" to look I suspect you need to study security printing carefully before you embark on this job. -
