Script request for all you amazing scripters!

I am wanting to open an image, if it's a horizontal image then resize it to 605 by 403. If it's a vertical image then resize it to 403 by 605. Then if its horizontal, open a logo PSD (Horiz_Logo.psd)and place it on top. If its a vertical open a different logo PSD (Vert_Logo.psd) and place it on top, then save.
Can anyone assist me? I am very new to the scripting scene so all this is baffling to me. Thanks so much!

Hi Zerty,
I've modified one of the javascripts I use for placing a logo on an image to do what you asked for. It will will place one of two pre-saved logo images onto your 605 x 403 images depending whether they are horizontal or vertical. The script does not do the resizing for you. You would need to do that in an action using fit image or something similar. You can call the script from an action.
I have used the following paths for the location of the images, if you want to use a different one you can easily edit the scripts for yourself. Please make sure you keep the forward slashes in the path where appropriate.
/D/My Documents/My Pictures/Images/Horiz_Logo.psd
/D/My Documents/My Pictures/Images/Vert_Logo.psd
You can download the script from this link.

USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.

USELESS ONLINE HELP FACILITIES
For all the amazing productivity aids that APPLE offers the world I have to report that their online support service is worse than useless and has recently been the source of immense time wasting and irritation.
Incident 1. Since many months attempts to download new and updated APPs produced a response – Apple ID Disabled. I had no time to consult an APPLE Store due to work in distant lands. When I finally visited yesterday I was told that as my IPAD has been reported as stolen, and APPLE in its wisdom had blocked its usage! I am not sure how they became so misinformed and nobody every advised me while with a few swift moves APPLE could have located me by email address or SKYPE.
Incident 2. Once the above anomaly had been fixed I tried to down load a newspaper and diligently input my address, credit card number and personal data. Repeatedly I was advised that my Credit Card was invalid and my postal code was incorrect! Really!
I was left to guess that having moved from UK to the US I should have advised APPLE! Not being told of this requirement brought about a second visit to APPLE Store in the same day to waste both mine and their time with a routine anomaly. How parochial in the context of a globalized world!
In each case I tried to resolve the issues using online access to a help line and by calling by phone at the numbers on the APPLE Website. In each of four separate occasions I diligently went through the routine and ended up with a message that thanked me for contacting Apple followed by a polite ‘Good Bye’!
In desperation I went to an Apple Store for the second time in a day as it is close to where I live when I am not working. On both occasions I was courteously attended to by Apple Staff.
However, my work is usually far away from the US and it is generally many thousands of miles to the nearest Apple Store therefore online help is viewed as imperative if one is to resolve issues away from home.
Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help? It would cost nothing in relative terms and might restore my high level of anti-APPLE sentiment that these two recent events have provoked.

Why can Apple not provide a clearly marked EMAIL address and Telephone number at a Help Desk with real people to respond to requests for help?
If that is your question, the answer is at the bottom right of this web page. It is clearly marked "Contact Us" and is the best way, really the only way, to contact Apple.
If there were a publicly posted email address for concerns such as yours, it would be quickly filled with spam in about three minutes, thereby becoming instantly useless to you and everyone else. Apple would need to change it hourly, if not more often. That is also the reason you ought not to post your name, location, and what appears to be your iPad's serial number on this publicly viewable website.
Apple does not respond here and I can find no other questions for your fellow Apple users to answer.

Is LION OS working well for all you?

Is LION OS working well for all you? never thought it could be such a problem, it's the fisrt time it happens to me with an Apple product!. problems with safari, aperture, iphoto, opening/closing windows, right now is so close in performance to all windows versions than Apple high quality products at the level that all we have been expected with the release of Lion. Really dissappointed, and just hope that Apple tech suppor team solves this situation with a new sofware update.

For most yes, For me definitely yes. I upgraded over SL, used it for a week or more. Then updated my daughter's i5 MBP. that went well and she is happy. Then I updated my wife's MB Air. now THAT should tell you the confidence I have built in Lion. !!!

Search script generator for all objects and data (!) from a user/schema ?

Is there a way to create a script which (when run) creates all the existing
TABLES; INDEXES, KEYS and DATA for a specified user/schema ?
This (PL-)SQL script should contain all INSERTS for the currently existing rows of
all the TABLEs.
When I use e.g. export to Dumpfile I have at first find all TABLEs and components
which I want to dump. This is rather uncomfortable.
I just want to specify the user name similar to
createscript user=karl@XE outfile=D:\mydata\myscript.sql
Is this somehow possible ?

So that I understand your requirements exactly, are you asking for your script to ...
1/ export from database A the entire schema of a specified user
2/ drop all objects owned by that user in database B
3/ import the objects from database A into database B
If so, it sounds to me that a shell script that does a schema level export as Nicholas suggested, and then drops the user from database B using the cascade keyword (e.g. drop user username cascade), recreates the user and then imports the export file into B should do the trick.
I don't think searching for individual tables and creating the statements to recreate them is the best idea.
Hope that helps

Challenge for all you great programmers out there...i need help!

Okay, my name is Tom. I am attending a small private
college where the computer program is very small. There are
no Java professors or any professors with any experience.
The library has only 3 beginner books on Java as well. So,
for my extremely ambitious Internal Internship Project I
need some help. I have taken a beginner course and am very
apt to learning, so this shouldn't be over my head. Now to
the project:
GUI
I have envisioned a utility automation program. Basically,
There is 1 main pane in the GUI. I have already designed it
but am open to suggestions. It consists of the important
parts: The utilty buttons (on the left), the textArea (in
the middle), and checkboxes (on the right). When opening
the program, the textArea will simply display instructions
on how to use the program. There will be as many buttons as
utilities there are (for now i am experimenting with
defrag), and the checkboxes will be aligned with the
utility buttons but to the right of the textArea.
Function
When each utility button is clicked, a description of the
utility comes up in the textArea. If you decide to use it
then check the appropriate checkbox to the right of the
textArea. Once you choose all the utilities that you want
to do, then you hit the start button.
Execution
This will automate all of the programs so you can leave and
come back.
Things needed
I need to know how to import text files to the textArea,
how to program the textAreas to come up, and one final
thing for now. I will have to somehow set the parameters to
those applications automatically (Ex: "what drive to
defrag"). So, my first thought would be create a popup
window that asks for all of the parameters needed for each
utility, define those values as variables, and then when
the utilities ask for them in the automation feed them the
variables.
I have put about 25 hours into making the GUI, and
designing the structure. I need a ton of help if I want to
get this done. I am using Netbeans for convenience but I'm
not sure i know how to insert custom code.
Any help the ANYONE can give me would be extremely
appreciated.
Thanks to all, and have a great day.
Tom

Possible solution for all you that have skipping songs, & scratchy sound

Hi All,
After upgrading to 7.02, I was extremely annoyed with the performance. But here's what I found and did. In a nutshell, you uninstall the new version and install a 6.05 version or earlier. I'll include some links to what I found and hopefully it'll help. Here's the first link and it describes what you need to do. Scroll down to the post by marlowe5 posted 10-08-2006, 8:06 A.M. and I also included the exact wording from the post below the link.
http://www.oldapps.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-228.html
This is the exact wording:
Thanks for the advise in this post... after installing iTunes 7, and then 7.01, my computer was running really slow, iTunes was skiping and garbling and acting terribly... so I really needed to go back to 6.05.
For all of you that need to do the same it's pretty easy:
I downloaded the 6.05 install file from from oldapps, uninstalled 7.01 and then re-installed 6.05. When I ran iTunes it did give me the error message that the library file was created in a new version and couldn't open, but I then deleted the 'itunes library.itl' file (in My Music > iTunes folder) and then replaced it with the backup that was automatically created when I installed 7.01 (in My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries). iTunes then started up fine with all my music and playlists. And all the skipping and CPU bogging is better now.
Library file note:
With the library file, when you update iTunes it also updates the library file, which won't work with older versions. So you need to replace this file or create a new one. I would recommend copying/backing up the new library file to a different location to be safe instead of just deleting it. You'll see above where to find the new library file and prior ones. When I made these changes I did two things to be safe, 1) I moved the new "iTunes library.itl" to a backup location instead of deleting it 2) I moved my most recent old library file from(My Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries) to (My Music > iTunes folder)and renamed it to "iTunes library.itl". It was previously "iTunes library 2006-1-18.itl." Before renaming it, iTunes didn't find the library so renaming it worked. Your file name will most likely have a different date so don't look for the exact file I mentioned. Plus it's probably a good idea to make a copy or back up this library file too.
If you don't have any previous library files, you may need to create a new one. I don't have the info but I believe the link to the post should have that info.
After reading through the post and other info, the only thing that it appears might be lost are playlists that have been created since the upgrade. I don't believe any music should be lost but that's why it's safer to backup the new library just in case. I did not lose any music.
Also, here's a link to where I found old versions of iTunes:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?1249
Hopefully this helps and good luck. I'm back to normal now.

Soccerteen,
Make sure you try all the other remedies mentioned in other posts. If this didn't work for you then try below. I consider it a last ditch effort since it's going back to a previous version, which unfortunately works much better than 7.0x for me.
Remove & backup your current library file to a different file/location to be safe. Once you do that, uninstall 7.02, and then install 6.05 or any 6 version. Once 6.0x is installed and you've opened it, you'll need to create a new library file. If you've removed the library file from (My Music > iTunes folder)it should load up with a blank slate. What you to do from this point is create a new library file. Read the oldapps link, the post from "Admin" dated 9-30-2006 5:30 PM should help. Most likely all of your music will be under one main file but you might have to add individual folders one at a time depending on how much music you have. Since I didn't have to go this route, I'm not sure if it's the best route but after reading multiple post, this was the most common suggestion. Worst case scenario, you can always reload 7.02 an reinsert the backup library file, which will put you back where you started.
Hope that works for you and good luck!

Script request for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP

Do anyone has the scripts for exporting, importing, inserting entry to Oracle 9i LDAP server? Thanks for help.

you can use ldapsearch utility to generate ldif files. Perform a search on the node you want to export and specify the output to be in LDIF format ( -L - this is a ldapsearch option). Once you have the ldif file, you can import it to any LDAPv3 complaint server such as OID. for OID, use ldapadd/ldapmodify utility to import the data.
These utilities are present under IAS_HOME/bin or ORACLE_HOME/bin.

I use /dev/hda1 as boot and root
NO disk or MBR corruptions.
ideas?
[updated]
as Hapy said below a script to run lilo is highly recommended and should be included

did you read the installation output?
like debian, gentoo, etc. there are certain packages that are installed that can cause issues if certain things are not done post install. in such cases there are always instructions piped to console/terminal of just what to do. package managers are designed to manage what is installed and what isn't they are not usually designed to detect what packages are being used (ie lilo or grub) or how a package may be configured (ie samba, mysql). as such the only thing that can be done is ensure that important files are not overwritten/replaced.
if you read any forums at all you know such problems always arise in any dependency solving system. it is not usually the fault of the packages or package manager but a failure on the part of the user to read their installation results. trust me i have done it plenty of times in arch, debian, etc. don't ever assume that a package manager will cook as well as clean. most don't .

Thanks for all you early adopters-seriously

Sincere thanks for all of you who jumped in and started using it. I am sure that it is a better computer because of all the feedback that the company has received. I have been reading the posts and am looking forward to getting the next edition/revision.
As one poster wrote, the advantage you have over me is that you have the computer to use now, and I am waiting. It will be a much used and appreciated tool when I get one. The funds are not available for me to get one yet but am looking at the beginning of the year.
The only ones I have seen are in stores. I wish I knew how loud the fans get when they come on as I have not heard them.
Some have described them as really loud. Any input here?
It looks like most of the main issues that I have read about have been resolved. The latest seems to be the dependability of the SuperDrive, but they may just be that percentage of products that are problematic out of the box.
I get the impression that these things are selling like hot cakes, so the numbers out there vs. the posts are probably staggering.
Thanks again, and I hope everyone gets their computer working the way they expect it to.

Hey, you're welcome! Hahaha
Well I've had mine for over 3 months now and I've zero problems with it. To answer some of your questions:
- the fans do not get horrendously loud as some people have stated. The only time I've heard them on is when I'm playing games (call of duty 2, halo, tiger woods), encoding a dvd, watching large videos on iTunes; so pretty much cpu intensive tasks. They don't come on with usual surfing, chatting, emailing, word processing.
- yeah, i've read the posts about the superdrives too. But I haven't had any problems with mine. I've ripped about 10-15 music cd's from my collection and burned many dvd's with it without a problem.
Enjoy your macbook when you get it!

Pending Add request for all contacts when I log into Live Messenger

Each time I log into Windows Live messenger on my Blackberry Bold I get a request for every contact to allow them to add me as a contact. They are longtime contacts of mine who have already been accepted. They can see me regardless of if I accept. If I accept, all of the requests reappear when I log back in. I do not get the requests on the pc version.

I have this problem with 4 specific contacts - every time I log in I'm prompted to confirm/deny the requests! Running latest OS on a Bold and latest Live Messenger app. Any ideas?
I wouldn't mind too much if it didn't treat the requests as conversations and set the LED flashing at me constantly...
-SOLVED-
Log into the Live website at:
http://home.live.com/
confirmed the requests from there and all looking good so far!

One for all you advanced action gurus out there :)

Ok so here is what im wanting to achieve.... on a slide i have various click box's that pop up some more info.
I want a continue button to appear only after all the click box's have been viewed..
In the past i have been able to achieve this when the click box's on the page direct you to another slide for the information, this way i have an advanced action set up on my initial page 'on enter' to see when all have been viewed to then show the continue button.
In this instance its slightly different as i will never be 'entering' the slide again, i want to remain on the slide at all times?
Possible??? let me know your thoughts?
Thanks

This will certainly be an example use case for conditional action with multiple decisions in my 'cookbook' for variables and advanced actions that I'm preparing.
The only events you can use are the Success events for the click boxes (or other interactive objects) which means that for each of them you'll need a conditional action with a mimicked standard action and a real condition to check if every click box has been clicked. Have multiple examples on my blog post, and in threads here everywhere. You have to make one important choice:
Can each click box be clicked multiple times, or is it OK to deactivate it when it has been clicked - that is the easiest way, because you can then use one variable as a counter and check if it reaches the number of click boxes
Example: http://blog.lilybiri.com/blog-after-posterous-clickclick
If each click box should be always available, you need a variable for each click box to toggle and you'll have to check if all variables have been toggled
Example (old): http://blog.lilybiri.com/template-for-reusing-script
Have new templates for CP7 and CP6 but stopped offering everything for free. You can still have the 5.5 on request.

Customer Service request for all mobile users

To all cellular subscribers, first off, I wish to say I am a proud VZW user. Second, I want to say I am a customer service rep for a competitor carrier. Personally, a few of my coworkers and I believe there really isn't any competition. Thirdly, I want to remind everyone... When you get your bills and you don't understand them, or your service isn't working correctly, try to have your duckies in a row BEFORE you call customer service. We do not work for the company in question, we are a 3rd party outfit that is hired by the big guys (T-Mo, ATT, Sprint, Verizon....) to handle the calls coming in. We are trained, but remember, we are in a call center, some may be overseas, some may be in the US, but our paychecks do not come from the big guys, but our real bosses. Yes, you are customers, just like I am, but before you call us, put yourself in our place. Seriously, if you had to talk to a person over the phone who is yelling and calling you names, would you want to help them?
So, my request to you is follow the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Trust me, staying calm in the face of any hardship will go farther than flying off the handle.

Yes, my coworker's sister works for the same company we work for and she handles VZW calls. Also, just the other day, I helped someone cancel her contract with the competitor's company because she was just hired on as a rep with the same company we work for but in a different state. BTW, that new VZW customer/CSR says that the service for Verizon is WAY BETTER than with her old company

For all you DBAs - Export Related Question.

I have a database with 3 tablespaces. Each tablespace has a defined user schema that has been populated with all the objects needed for production.
Now that the structure ahs been created and in in place I want to back it up. What I want is to be able to create a script that when run will reproduce the entire structure as it is now (3 tablespaces, the users, the objects, etc).
Should I back up each tablespace or can I back up the entire database?
What tool can I use to do this?
Thank yo for your assistance.
