Why does L8 not distinguish between sample instruments of the same name????

I just installed Logic 8. My problem is, that I have a good deal of other EXS24 instruments with generic names, such as "Mark II", or "Vibraphone". That shouldn't actually be a problem, but it is with Logic 8 because every time I open one of my existing projects, it replaces one of those sample instruments with one of its new (or even one of its Legacy) instruments if it bears the same name. That stinks. Can't it figure out which sample it originally was with? It is a real pain in the bum having to reopen the original sample, and than match every single parameter to the original setting, manually, one by one. This whole thing wouldn't be so bad if you could just copy the parameter settings WITHOUT including the actual selected sample. Than I could just paste the intended parameter settings back onto the intended sample (that just so happens to bear the same name as one of Logic's factory sample instruments). I didnt have this problem with Logic 7. What gives? Is there a way around this? It is getting old going through all my projects to fix this. Thanks!

Hello, man with the spoof hobbitname,
Try doing it the other way around: put your legacy instruments in the main folder, after you've removed the new ones with the same names - including their samples folders.
*Like so:*
+(the folders are empty - I don't actually have them)+
It should work this way...

  • Distinguishing between two instances of the same portlet

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to distinguish between two instance of the same portlet in different browser windows?
    I'm looking for something like URL parameter passing, but just for portlets.
    The problem is, I want a way to pass a parameter between views in a portlet, but in such a way that if another browser window is opened and navigated to that portlet page, the parameter won't be the same. Perhaps I can explain better with this example:
    Page A has a portlet on it which has a textbox and 2 buttons - the first button stores the value in the textbox in the PortletRequest (or PortletURL) and if you click the second button the portlet navigates to a different view which displays the value. If I navigate with a second browser window to Page A, however, and only click the navigate button, that value which was stored by the first instance of the portlet will still be shown. I want them to be independent, I don't want changes in the one's PortletRequest to reflect in the other one's PortletRequest.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    JP

    Why not use two instances of the same portlet, i.e. create two channels of the same portlet.
    The behave the same, have the same application logic, so all you need is to transfer informations between the two portlets.If you want this within user space use the portlet session, otherwise access the http session context /application context and store the data there.
    The behavior would be controlled by the portlet preferences, so channel a (instance 1) would be configured to run as controller and channel b (instance 2) would be configured as receiver.

  • Stranger error:Old file not found.However,a file of the same name was found

    Hi All,
    I appologise if its not the right forum...
    I am a bit baffeled here by the following error when I am trying to install Java SDK or just JRE.
    I upgraded my windows 2000 box to win XP home edition, installed the latest updates etc and then tried to install java....
    and got the following error
    bin\appletviewer.exe:
    Old file not found.However, a file of the same name was found.No updates done since file contents does not match.
    I have removed everything from system that I could imagine might be using Java directly or indirectly. No JRE on the system, no old java folder under C: drive etc, But I still get the same error. I have never come accross a stupid error like this before. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Yes I did not do checkdisk and I will do that and post my findings

  • Why does LabVIEW allow me to have 2 controls with same name

    Here's a general LabVIEW question:
    Why does LabVIEW allow me to have 2 controls with the same name in the same VI?  It seems like this only increases the chances of confusion.  Especially when someone is just looking at a block diagram (or documentation of a block diagram).
    No other programming language that I know of allows this.  I realize that uniqueness of name is not as critical in LabVIEW as it is in any text based language.  For example, in a text based language, if I had 2 variables called abc and I wrote a statement
    abc = 12;
    the compiler would not know which abc was being referred to.  In LabVIEW, if we had 2 controls called abc, the equivalent of doing an abc=12 is writing to a local variable (which is always linked to one of the controls) and there is no ambiguity.  Still, someone looking at the code cannot figure out which abc is linked to unless he does a right click>>Find>>terminal (or a double click).
    Even though I have never and never will name 2 controls the same, I think it would be a nice constraint to see enforced by LabVIEW.
    Any input from NI engineers on this?

    I know when you copy and paste a control or indicator, LabVIEW automatically increments the label. But since you can hide the label, and show or hide the caption, there must be another mechanism that LabVIEW uses to keep track of all the controls. I thought I remember back in the "old days" (ver 6 or 6i) LabVIEW would give you an error if you tried to make two controls with the same name. Perhaps that was LabWindows/CVI.
    I don't know where the index is actually stored, but if you look at a property node linked to the Pane, you will see an array of references to the controls and indicators. Since the references are stored in an array, I assume that any local variables are tied to the index of that array. Since the labels themselves are properties of the control, I guess there's no reason to limit what that label is. They all have a unique index number.
    Interestingly, this array of references grows from the beginning. That is, any new control or indicator is put at index 0, not the end of the array.
    B-)

  • Why does PSE 10 Organizer jumble up photos on the same date from different locations ?

    I have PSE 10 installed on a PC with Windows 7. My camera is a Nikon D90 using a Sandisk 8 gb SD card. When I take photos at different locations on the same date and download them into the Organizer , instead of keeping the photos from the different locations together by location, it jumbles them all up. It does not keep them in order by time taken from first to last for that day , it just mixes them all up in random order. Why ?

    Hi Lyndy,
    When you use Albums and Keyword Tags, you aren't moving the images around (they stay in their folders) - you just look at them differently.
    What you can try is this:-
    1) select one of your folders in folder view so that it displays all of those images in filename order
    2) click on the instant album button (to the top right of the thumbnails)
    This will generate an album with the same name as the folder
    3) Now switch to Thumbnail view
    4) click on the new albumb name on the right side
    Now, all the images should be in date/time order - you may have adjust the options
    The real power of the Keywrd Tags is the many different ways you can look at the images.
    If you have a Keyword Tag structure like this:-
    Places
         Scotland
                Holyrood
                Britania
    Then if you assign the Holyrood and britania tags to the appropiate photos, there are various ways of viewing the photos.
    Selecting just Holyrood would show only the Holyrood ones
    Selecting Scotland would show both Holyrood and Britania ones.
    The only limit seems to be your own imagination
    I hope that gives you ideas rather than adding confusion

  • How to differentiate between Radio Buttons with the same name?

    My form has two fields, to which I gave the same name ("Radio Button 1.0") in order to achieve mutual exclusivity.
    Now, I would like to use JavaScript to retrieve the value of one the two fields:
    var checkMark = this.getField("Radio Button1.0");
    if (checkMark.value == "Yes") {
    Questions:
    What is the proper way to inspect the value of a Radio Button? I have tried this:
    if (checkMark.value == "No") [...]
    but it doesn't seem to work.
    How can I tell apart 2 radio buttons with the same name?
    TIA,
    -RFH

    When Radio Buttons and Check Boxes are unchecked their value is "Off", so if you have "Yes", "No" buttons you will also encounter an 'Off" value. Now if you want to look at a given button, you will have to use the "isBoxChecked(nWidget)" method.
    nWidget:
    The 0-based index of an individual radiobutton or checkbox widget for this field. The index is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order).
    Every entry in the Fields panel has a suffix giving this index, for example MyField #0.
    Returns
    true if the specified widget is currently checked, false otherwise.
    Example
    var f = this.getField("ChkBox");
    if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
    app.alert("The Box is Checked");
    else
    app.alert("The Box is not Checked");

  • When i delete a message from my iphone why does it delete it from my pc at the same time?  I need the messages to go to both until I delete them from my pc.

    When I delete a message from my iphone, why does it also delete it from my PC.  This happens even though I don't sync them.

    Are you talking about mail messages?
    Try Settings > Mail >  your mail account > Advanced > Delete from server, and set it to 'never'
    And if it's an IMAP account try turning on "Archive Messages".

  • Why does Adobe Manager download and install 2 of the same programs?

    Am I suppose to get more than one icon for each app? I have a (64bit) and it appears a 32bit both install when I download with Adobe Manager.
    I have a fresh install of windows 8. -- probably the issue -- an upgrade from win7. I completely uninstalled all apps, did a fresh install of my upgrade, and kept no files, or settings. It however, did keep somethings with the new window.
    Looking in my program list, I have the same program listed in (program files), and in ((86program files)), there is the 64bit program.
    It seriously looks like I am downloading and insalling two seperate versions.... why?
    I do have another desktop computer, which is older, and running window xp, and it is a 32bit system.
    The main cpu I am using is a Dell.... (maybe that's the problem) laptop, Inspiron 1545
    help.

    For which application are you seeing two versions?
    Photoshop installs both 32 and 64 bit versions on a 64-bit system when installing from the Adobe Application Manager using the Creative Cloud subscription.

  • HP Support Assisstant - why does it not recommend all driver updates for the model?

    I use HP Support Assisstant, and it is configured to update my machine weekly. I have had video problems and now have audio problems.  How come certain KEY drivers are not coming through on Support Assistant automatically?  What's the purpose of having a weekly update if it's not consistent and I have to do research on drivers anyway?

    OK, what operating system are you using?  When the printer reportedly goes offline, does it still have a valid IP address from the router (print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer - make sure the IP is not 169.254.x.x nor 0.0.0.0)?
    If it still has a valid IP, then the issue is not with the printer, but more likely the router or operating system.  If you are using Windows, download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

  • Why does Apple not put its hands up regarding the "No SIM" problem?

    After about 18 months of flawless use my iPad 2 developed the "No SIM" problem.
    I tried one of the many nostrums on various bulletin boards, airplane mode on /off and so on, and the "No SIM" went away for a week.
    It has since come back and will not shift.
    On advice from Apple support I did a full restore.
    The "No SIM" problem did not go away.
    I have had much fruitless dialogue with the automatons at Apple.
    The bottom line is that Apple - despite hundreds of complaints on their own bulletin boards,feign ignorance of this issue.
    Opinion seems to be firm that this is a hardware problem.
    Apple is saying, pay up almost the price of a new iPad and we will swap nout your iPad.
    This is daylight robbery with bells on and typical of Apple's business model of selling products woth built in obsolescence.
    Their share price will inevitably decline as the public gets fed up with Apple's arrogance and lack of customer empathy.

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • SCM 3.0 - Why does Exporting to GPO Backup and Importing back the same LocalGPO alter the settings so drastically ?

    What I did:
    Specialize a Win 7 computer Baseline (Baseline A)
    Export the duplicated baseline to the GPO Backup Folder.
    Use this the exported GPO Backup within a MDT task Sequence
    Create a new computer with this task Sequence. It completes successfully.
    Export with LOCALGPO Tool the Baseline (BaseLine B
    Compare to the Windows 7 SP1 Baseline copy - (Baseline B).
    Result (see pictures):
        Total unique settings compared: 317
        Total settings in common: 205
        Total settings not in common: 112
    Settings that differ (15): Just one exemple:
    I ask for "Audit System events" Success and Failure (Baseline A) and the result is NoAuditing. Strange isn't it?
    Settings that match (190): Cool.
    Settings only in  Baseline A (57) Just a comment:
    There are a lot of settings with the value: No one. Are these values correctly exported and correctly positioned on the new computer?
    Settings only in baseline B (55) Just a comment:
    There are a lot of characters badly recognized. I think there is a problem with French Language.
    How can I trust SCM with so many errors? What can I do to correct these errors?
    I use Security Compliance Manager 3.0.60.0 with settingLibrary Version 2.0.82001

    After reading  social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/720f6515-47fc-4805-8ccb-dc144cb72078/action?threadDisplayName=gpo-backups-import-merge-export-problems I think I've identified that some of the differences come from the Not Defined/Not Configured
    settings not being backed up in the GPO Backup.  I can live with that.
    The other issues are attributed to flaws within SCM 3 regarding GPO Imports...hopefully they'll be sorted out by the team soon.

  • Why can't I share between two users on the same computer?

    I just got a new Mac Pro, and I had some difficulty getting Migration Assistant to work, so by the time I finally did get it to work, I already had a few apps and docs on my computer.  So after I ran Migration Assistant, I discovered that some of my files had disappeared.  I finally figured out that I now had two different users on my computer (that were both me) and I had to switch to the other version of me to get my missing files.  So I logged into my other user account, and I moved everything into the shared folder, and then went back to my current profile and tried to open the drop box.  I got this message: "The folder “Drop Box” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."  So I went back and set the sharing and permissions so that everyone could read and write.  Then I went back, and I still got the same error message.  So then I went back and set the permissions of every folder in the hierarchy so that everyone can read and write.  Still got the same error message.  Then I went into my old account, went into Sharing in the System Preferences, turned on sharing and set it so everyone has read and write access.  Still got the same error message.  So before I just copy everything onto an external drive, I thought I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.
    I really wish I could opt out of this whole "users" business, on my own computer computer in my own home.  That's one thing I really miss about OS 9.

    Thanks for your reply, but this article is telling me to do exactly what I already tried.  I just get the message: "The folder “Drop Box” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."

  • Why does Firefox leak memory after. I do the same operations in Firefox and Safari, Firefox in some cases uses over 500 MB of RAM, Safari uses about 50 MB

    After opening and closing 5 windows in Firefox and Safari, at rest Firefox still claimed (approx.) 500MB of real memory, Safari return all memory and claimed only (approx.) 50MB at rest (all windows closed). My laptop starts over heating when browsing just simple information pages in Firefox. This still happens after updating to the latest browser.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why does my macbook screen saver clock always read the same hour?

    Clock always reads 7 pm but the minute matches the current minute

    A lot of goofy things can happen if you have changed certain preferences, or upgraded with non-standard settings in place:
    System Preferences > Languages & Texts > Formats ...
    ... set a plausible standard form, like US or UK or something familiar. Close the window and Save changes. Then set to your actual preferences. Close the window and Save changes again. Test.

  • Why can't iTunes down load two songs with the same name but different artists to my iPhone?

    I noticed this a couple of years ago but had forgotten about it. Today I purchased two songs, both called Bop Gun (One Nation) but by different artists. When I looked at the purchased list on one appears. If I go back to iTunes and download the other one, the former disappears. Are they honestly saying that these phones are intelligent enough to distinguish a song by artist rather than track listing?
    Epic Fail!!!

    Usually a song is uniquely identified by song name, artist, album and track number. That said internally I suspect the iTunes Store may allow one song to appear on more than one album while they only need to store one copy of the audio data. (They must also be able to cope with the situation, for example, where the UK & US version of an album have a different track order). It is also possible there is an error in the database that means you're not getting the song you're expecting. If you can't successfully download the two (presumably) different versions of the song then use the report a problem links in your account history and explain the issue. Hopefully the iTunes Store support staff can get it resolved.
