Using the Nike+ Watch amp remote to control iTouch 3G

Has anyone found a way to control (volume up and down and track changing) the itouch using the remote amp watch outside of running the nike+ application ?
I can do this with a sensor attached on the nano - on the itouch it seems that the remote will only work when the nike+ application is running (and only when its connected to a shoe sensor)
P.S. The batteries for the nike watch seems to be difficult to get in the uk also ?

On my iPod Touch 2G I can only control music with the watch remote while in a workout.
Batteries are easy to come by here in Oz, which is good as they sell these units with dead batteries.

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

My ipod Nano generation 7 shuts down unexpectedly while using the NIKE app, has anyone experienced this problem?

This is not a problem I have only had with 7th gen. iPod. I have had this problem with the 5th gen. It goes back a few years. Nike and Apple are aware of this. Nothing has been done. It appears that when the iPod voice commences (whether to update you on the status of your run) and you touch a button to prompt a mileage update or song change yourself (or even brush the device wrong when taking off a jacket), the operating system overloads and cannot sort it out. It then shuts down and reboots. Your mileage is lost. So sorry. Have a nice day.
Love the other aspects of running with a nano (small and light weight). I can keep it high and dry and out of the way. Like the software. Use it almost everyday. Hate the unknown dropped runs. I have logged over 2,000 miles with these devices. Today I lost another 3 miles - probably the 30-40th time it has happened. Frustration is somewhere between time for another device to time for another system - Map My Run indeed!
This probably occurs with my iPod once or twice a month. Went to the Apple Store - three times. The first time was maybe two years ago and they first tried some magic dust and then on the second visit, they swapped out my nano - it was a bit flimsy. The problem returned. I then upgraded. The problem returned. The third time they did a reset and it seemed to help. Then, it returned. But to download an older software version, verify the fidelity of the UBS cable, jump from computer to computer, make a trip to the Apple store, and perform so many two steps on one leg just to get what we paid for seems . . . well, lame. And, Apple told us the thingy would work using all the different computers and software (Vista, Nike, etc. etc.).
Oh, one other thing. The Apple Store told me to complain to Nike. Nike said their software is fine. This is like dealing with General Motors or the government - but, worse. Not my problem man. See the guy over there. Got it.
I note that no one from Apple is jumping in the chain here with a fix. So much for customer exuberance. Generally like Apple. We have about 20 Apple devices in our family (desktops, portables, phones, pods, tablets) and are lining up for the watches . . . but, maybe Apple is an idea who time has come and gone, . . . like the wind.

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9. When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

Does anyone know why kids under the age of 13 can't use the Nike plus website.

Same reason you must be at least 13 on most websites.

My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

How to use the *new* "per-user remote control"?

Per the ARD discription page at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-remote-desktop/id409907375?mt=12
It says under "Whats New in 3.5.1":
"Per-user remote control
You can remotely log in to a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login.
How can I do this? I can't seem to find the ability. If I use ARD in it's "normal" mode, I am on the user's console at the same time they are.... I want to be "underneath" the console without affecting them.

That capability is only available if your client systems are running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. See:

My "regular guy" impressions of using the Apple Watch for a few days

I was asked by friends to give my impressions of owning an Apple Watch. I guess it all comes down to:
Is the Apple watch worth about a dollar a day for the first year, and free thereafter?
I guess that depends on how much value you put on being able to leave your phone on silent, remaining in your pocket most of the day.
Because of the Taptic notifications, which are distinct "taps" on the wrist by the Watch for different things, I no longer have to keep my phone volume on all day (iPhone vibrations weren't strong enough in my pocket to notify me reliably) leading to a much nicer all day experience. On top of that, when I do get a notification, I can quickly flick my wrist to see what it is instead of digging my phone out. Much nicer to quickly glance at the latest 20% off offer from "YouNeedThis!.com" and dismiss it than dig the phone out, unlock it, click on mail, ...grumble.
The ease of notifications alone makes it worth it to me. It is easy to quickly respond most of the time, too. I find myself using my phone WAY less, which is refreshing (and I am sure appreciated by those around me.)
And the chirps, pings, whistles that used to emanate from my pocket all day are gone. Ahhhhh.
A few other things I have found convenient:
Actually knowing the time, date, weather etc. easily. Sure, I could have been wearing a wrist watch for some of that, but for the last few years I have used my Smartphone for these things. They are just so much simpler on the wrist.
Answering the phone easily when doing something. I am not one to wear a Bluetooth headset around like a Borg, so being able to easily answer when my wife calls as I am fixing lunch for the kid is really convenient.
Having the next thing on my daily calendar right there visible when I look at the Watch. I use the Mickey Mouse watch face normally (hey, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves pushing and seeing Mickey "dancing") and right there on the bottom it tells me the next thing on the list. I don't know how other folks do things on their phones, but I always had trouble sifting through notifications on the phone seeing what was on the agenda for the day. Yeah I could go to the calendar several times during the day on the phone, but it wasn't convenient. It is simple on the Watch seeing what is coming up during the week. And I say "week" because the Watch only shows you what is coming up in the NEAR future. To me that makes sense. Again, it is all about quick information and what works best in a glance. On the Watch it makes sense to quickly see what is coming soon. On the phone it makes sense to meander over months and make full edits in a more convenient manner.
Setting quick timers, reminders or alarms is a breeze using Siri on the Watch. So much more convenient than digging out the phone.
Getting a quick overview on the Watch on how active I have been (or not been) has already spurred me to get up and move more often. Yes there are other devices that help with this (I had a Fitbit previously) but having it all self contained within the Watch is nice and (here I go again) convenient.
A few things that are not perfect on the watch:
The speaker is pretty quiet when trying to have a hands free "Dick Tracy" conversation. Any kind of louder noise in the room and you will have trouble.
Apple is synonymous with consistency. Their entire platform is built on making a consistent experience for everyone that just works. On the Watch, however, there are some inconsistent uses of actions to do certain things. For example, sometimes when I get a notification and I want to dismiss it off the watch I can "Force press" which brings up a "Clear All" button to tap. Other times I have to scroll to the bottom of the notification to "dismiss." I like the "Force press" thing... let's make it happen consistently.
Most apps now are really pretty useless on the watch. For one thing, the screen times out too quickly for them. For another, anything in which one needs more than a glance to get the information is MUCH easier to do on the phone. Of all the apps in the Watch App store, the only things I have downloaded and find I actually use are a quick note dictation app, a "what is nearby me" type app, and a sports scores app. That being said, I am perfectly OK with that because that is really not what the Watch is for in my opinion. We aren't SUPPOSED to be doing things on the Watch that are more easily done on the phone. Things that are designed to be quick (check time, check weather, check who just sent a message) are great on the Watch. Things like searching for the best item on Amazon are just ridiculously silly on the Watch (really, Amazon?)
Conspicuously missing from the core apps on the Watch is Apple's "Notes" app. A perfect use for the Watch is to quickly take a note of something you need to remember later. I was forced to download a 3rd party app, Evernote, for this. The Evernote app works well, but I am very surprised that this was missed by Apple as a perfect example of what would be helpful to use the Watch to do.
There is no way to set the "screen on" time to a custom time period. Six seconds or so is default and unchangeable. This makes the Watch worthless for anyone in a health profession. Nurses and EMTs still take pulses using their watch to time the heart rate. Often, with irregular heart rates, a full 60 seconds must be observed. One just can't do this with the Watch. This is quite surprising as the Watch has actually been marketed to health workers with apps even designed solely to assist health workers in their daily planning. Apple clearly wanted to be able to control battery life with such a quick screen off "feature" but allowing us to decide for ourselves the tradeoff of battery life vs. usability would be a much better choice.
There are ways to make Tweets, Facebook status updates and the like on the Watch, but it really doesn't make sense to try to do it "all" socially on the Watch. It is so much easier on the phone to actually interact socially, that it really only makes sense to do so on the Watch in more of a "one off" way. When you just have to share something quickly, but don't really have time for give and take.
Finally, some things work a bit slow or wonky right now. I expect this to improve greatly over time with future versions of the software. Stuff like this ALWAYS gets better.
So for me, the Watch is working as I expect it should. There are certainly improvements that Apple can and will be able to make, but it is saving me time, adding ease of use to many actions I do every day, and is kind of fun to use. I am enjoying it because I am not expecting it to do things for which ANY wearable would not be well suited. The things it is best for, it does pretty well.
That is worth a dollar a day... to me at least.

To put the iPod into forced disk mode, this is what you should be doing.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Have you also seen this?
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.

My ipod stops or pauses while I am walking...I am using the nike sensor with my Ipod. Will it pause when I stop walking for a period of time?

I have purchased the nike sensor to use with my Ipod touch. I tried it on the golf course and it kept pausing after time.. I tried the different ways to work out eg basic, timed, calories...but it kept pausing after a short distance. Is this because you stop and start with golf? Is there a setting I can adjust?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How can I use the same event case for different controls dynamically

OS: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Apr 19 00:37:55 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
LabVIEW: Version 8.2
I have a lot of (about 50) controls (numeric, boolean) on my front panel. If a "Value Change" event will be fired by any of them the same event case shall be executed. As I do not want to add all 50 controls to the same event case manually I am looking for a way to do it at run time. Additionally the VI is still under contruction, i.e. controls will be added and removed.
Thanks for any help here.
Regards,
Johannes
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Johannes,
collect all your control references (you can use the FP property for it) and create a user event. Connect this user event to your event structure. Now you have one event case for all your controls. See the attached picture.

Using the Edit definition feature for data controls in Jdeveloper 11g

Hello,
I am using Jdeveloper 11g 11.1.2.3.0.
I have some data controls used in my application. Initially they were pointing to lab now it has been changed to development.
I need to change the wsdl urls' for each data controls. I used edit definition feature in each data controls and copy pasted the new urls. But this does not seem to work.
Is this the right way of doing it or is there any other way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,

How to use the 64 bit Adobe PDF Browser Control (AcroPDF64.dll) in x64 WinForms VS2012

I noticed that sice 11.0.07 there is a 64 bit version of the AcroPDF.dll called AcroPDF64.dll. Does this mean that I can use the PDF Browser Control in a x64 WinForms application? If so, what do I need to do to get this to work?
When I right click on the "Toolbox" and select "Choose Items..." there is only the possibility to select the Adobe PDF Reader pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll" and not a version using the AcroPDF64.dll
When I click in this dialog on the "Browse..." btton and select the AcroPDF64.dll nothing happens.
Now I am stuck with an "Initializing..." message when loading a PDF in the control. The control is working when switching back to x86 (but which I can't because I need to reference a dll that is only available in 64 bit).
Please advice, thank you in advance!

Thank you for your reply.
Does this means that it is still not possible to use the PDF ActiveX control in a x64 WinForms application?

Anyone here use the nike+ running app with the ipod touch?

i just got the new ipod touch 5g and wanted to get the nike+ running app because it's free, the alternate would be nike+ sensor is $20 extra.
so i wanted to know:
1. how accurate the nike+ running app is in term of recording distance? since i don't have the iphone i wont be able to use the gps function and im not sure if that'll be affecting the distance measurement.
2. how accurate is the speed tracker? same as above, since the ipod doesn't have a gps function.
3. in the setting for the app, what does it mean to reset calibration?

i just used it for the first time. it recorded that i ran for 2.5 miles, i went home and checked an online map and i only actually ran 2.03 miles. if i calibrate it, will my future runs be more accurate? also, what if one day i decide to run at a different pace or i walk a lot more, will this affect the distance recorded?

I can't get my playlist on my iPod Touch to shuffle while I'm running using the Nike . The playlist keeps defaulting to play songs in alphabetical order.

I use my iPod Touch with Nike+ while running. I have setup my workouts into my iPod but when I can't get my playlists to stay on "shuffle". The playlists only play in alphabetical order. Is there a way to make sure the songs play on shuffle and not in alphabetical order?

similar problem with my 6th generation ipod nano. if i select a playlist within the nike+ workout function it only ever plays the songs in alphabetical order of artists.
the shuffle works fine if i'm playing the playlist outside of the nike+ environment
never had these problems with my 2nd generation or 4th generation nanos
