You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Hi,
Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
Thanks.

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch.
Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).
I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
More details below.
Thanks,
Fab
Here is a video showing the steps I followed
If you don't want/can't see the video. Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far:
GratestCommonDivisor.lvproj C Generation build specs Information:
C Function prototype definition:
I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
Then to run it I just type
I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

Hi Kevin,
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.
Thanks,

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

Need help getting started with the ML505 Development Kit

First of all, an admission...I am a newb to the FPGA world. A babe in the wilderness. I am trying to run a simple little logic design to get my feet wet. Four inputs using the WEST, CENTER, SOUTH, and EAST pushbuttons feeding two AND gates which feeds an OR gate which turns on the NORTH LED. I have tried to use the Platform Cable USB to download the project to the XCF32P Platform Flash PROM using the iMPACT software. As of yet I have been unable to get the program to run. The iMPACT program says the programming was successful but after pressing the PROG button, the DONE LED does not turn on. I've tried different settings with the Configuration Address and Mode DIP switches with no success. To anyone using the ML505, given the gear I have at my disposal, what would you recommend? What modes have you used that worked? Thanks in advance.

Here is the latest setup I have used in trying to get my FPGA to read from the Platform FLASH PROM. Configuration Address/Mode DIP switches set to 01011001 as per "My Own Platform Image Demonstration" method in the "ML505/ML506/ML507 Getting Started Tutorial" The Platform Cable USB is plugged into the JTAG connector on the ML505. Its status LED is green. In iMPACT the Boundary Scan reveals the following chain... TDI ----- xcf32p -----xcf32p-----xc9s144x1-----xccace-----xc5vlx50t-----TDO The same mcs file is loaded into both PROMs (xcf32p). I start the programming cycle. It completes and says "Programming Successful" I press the PROG button on the ML505 and the DONE LED does not turn on and the design does not work. With the same chain I add the bit file to the xc5vlx50t so I have the PROMs loaded with mcs files and the FPGA with the bit file. I run the program function again. "Programming successful" is again indicated. The DONE LED lights and the design works. I then press the PROG button. The DONE LED turns off and the design ceases to function. I have also tried this with only one PROM loaded with a mcs file with no success. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

       130It just returns all acc_id rows in Loans table which has corresponding ACC_IDs present in defaulters.
On 10gR2 SQL Reference, for EXISTS operator, it says ' An EXISTS condition tests for existence of rows in a subquery' .
Would it be wrong if i say, EXISTS operator can be used when you want to return all rows in the Outerquery which has matching records in the Innerquery.

Would it be wrong if i say, EXISTS operator
can be used when you want to return all rows in the
Outerquery which has matching records in the
Innerquery.Depends on what you understand with "matching".
See following examples:
In this case matching means "<>" i.e. return all loans who have at least one row that differs in defaulters table (of course it returns all loans, because defaulters has 2 rows with different acc_id, BTW look also for NULLs and comparisons involving NULLs)
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

2 where exists(
3    select 1 from defaulters
4*   where loans.acc_id<>defaulters.acc_id)
SQL> /
    ACC_ID
       100
       110
       120
       130See also following query:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select acc_id from loans
2 where exists(
3    select 1 from defaulters
4* )
SQL> /
    ACC_ID
       100
       110
       120
       130There isn't any condition at all, so any row in defaulters is "matching" row in this case.
So I'd stick with explanation in documentation this time ;)

Getting Started with the BlackBerry Classic

Reposted from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
Whether you are new or experienced with BlackBerry 10, here’s a quick guide to get you started with the BlackBerry Classic!
Step 1 – Insert your SIM and media card
The first step you’ll want to take after unboxing your new BlackBerry Classic is inserting your nano SIM card and media card. When you have your nano SIM and media card (optional) handy, use the tool that is provided in the BlackBerry Classic box to open the SIM card tray.
To do this, push the tip of the tool, or a paperclip, into the hole that is to the left of SIM on the side of your device. Doing so pops the tray out at which point you can pull it all the way out.
After doing this, with the metal contacts of your nano SIM card facing away from you, place the nano SIM into the tray, then push the tray into the slot. Repeat these steps to insert your media card by inserting the tool, or a paperclip, in the hole to the right of SD along the left side of your device.
Tip: If you don’t have the right SIM card please contact your service provider and ask them for help switching to a nano SIM card. Please avoid using a larger SIM card that has been cut to a smaller size as this may cause your device to not recognize the SIM card. Using a modified SIM card may also result in it getting stuck since the modified SIM card may be thicker than the required nano SIM card. When you have finished inserting your nano SIM and media card the next step is completing the BlackBerry Classic setup wizard.
Step 2 – Complete the set up wizard
If you haven’t already, turn on your BlackBerry Classic by pressing and holding the power button on the top of your device so you can complete the setup process. This process guides you through connecting to a Wi-Fi network, setting up a new BlackBerry ID, or signing into your existing BlackBerry ID, as well as showing you several fundamental gestures.
Tip: If you don’t have a BlackBerry ID you’ll be able to create one during the setup process and, in the event you don’t remember your BlackBerry ID password, use the Forgot Password option to reset your BlackBerry ID password. Don’t forgot to confirm your BlackBerry ID, which can help you recover your password in case you ever forget it!
When you have finished the setup wizard, the new and improved Setup app will open automatically.
Within this app you’ll be able to complete the following actions that will help you learn more about your new device and customize everything just the way you like
Find out what’s different about BlackBerry 10
Understand the various gestures used throughout your device
Add your email and social networking accounts
Transfer data from your previous device (See step 3 to learn more!)
Customize your device notifications
Setup BBM so you can connect with family and friends
Set a device password
And more!
When you have finished going through the various options within the Setup App, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to minimize it. You can always access the Setup app in the future by tapping on the Setup icon as well.
Step 3 – Transfer data from your previous device
If you are switching from another device, whether it be BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Android or iPhone, there are several different methods you can use to help transfer data to your new device.
For a visual overview, check out the following videos that guide you through this process. The Setup app on your BlackBerry Classic can also help you do this, just open the Setup app, tap Switching Devices and follow the provided steps.
Android device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
BlackBerry OS smartphone to BlacKBerry 10 smartphone
iOS device to BlackBerry 10 smartphone
If you encounter any issues transferring your data, or would like some guidance, stop by the Device Switch board within the BlackBerry Support Community Forums and ask the community.
If you switch from another device don’t forget to perform a security wipe on your old device to remove your personal information. If your previous device was a BlackBerry device, check out our post on how to perform a security wipe.
If you use a different type of device, review the user documentation to learn how to reset it to factory settings and remove your personal information.
Step 4 – Secure your new device and turn on BlackBerry Protect
If you haven’t already set a device password, I cannot stress enough how important this is. Doing so can help prevent unwanted access if you leave your device unattended and, in the event you misplace your device, no one will be able to view your personal information. To set a device password, complete the following steps:
On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen
Tap Settings followed by Security and Privacy
Tap Device Password
Set the Device Password switch to On
Enter your desired password twice
After setting a device password make sure you verify that BlackBerry Protect is enabled on your device by going to Settings followed by BlackBerry Protect.
When enabled, BlackBerry Protect can help you locate, lock, or wipe your device where you are, provided your device is connected to the mobile or Wi-Fi network. To learn more about BlackBerry Protect go to http://protect.blackberry.com.
Step 5 – Where to learn more and find help
The easiest way to learn more about your new BlackBerry Classic is by opening the Help app, which contains a lot of useful information ranging from tips and tricks to how-to overviews. You can also view, download, or save the user guide for your device by visiting http://docs.blackberry.com.
I would also recommend reviewing BlackBerry Classic how-to demo videos that show the various features and functions offered by your device. These demos can be viewed on your device, computer, or tablet. Several BlackBerry Training courses are also available – make sure you try these out on your computer, or device to learn more about the BlackBerry Classic and BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.1.
What's New in BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Supporting BlackBerry 10 OS Version 10.3.1
Introducing the BlackBerry Classic smartphone
Another great way to learn more is by taking the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, which you can find within BlackBerry World. This app offers short quizzes that can help you learn more about your device and it only takes a few minutes to complete each test – it’s the perfect coffee break companion!
To get the BlackBerry 10 Pop Quiz, open BlackBerry World and search for it or click here. Another great resource to learn more about your device, beyond this blog of course, is the BlackBerry Classic support site located at http://www.blackberry.com/classicsupport

Very nice detailed information about BlackBerry Classic. Looking forward for more updates and also KB's for support.

Advice: Getting started in the digital editing

What advice would you give someone with very limited experience, who wants to get started as an (paid) editor? (Other than don't do it.)
My budget is $14K.
What equipment?
Groups?

Go crazy searching the internet for tutorials, advice, sample videos, etc. You can find tons of free stuff. Look at websites dedicated to DV editors, and see what it's about.
Find someone you know who is a DV editor, or search for one through your contacts. Ask them about what they do and if they think it's right for you. They may be wrong, but it's a good start to see what people think.
Also, start editing some video with what you have. Work a little in iMovie for now, even though it's nothing like the "real thing," it's a great place to start toying around.
I would definitely start with Final Cut Express. You can't do almost everything you will need to do for a long time using just that, especially if you're testing the waters. Do you really want to spend 14K and found out that you don't really like doing it? It's worth spending the cash on FCE right now, even if you end up moving up to Final Cut Studio. Why? Cause it could save you over $13,000 of wasted money if you aren't sure you want to do it!
Do you have a camera? If not, find a good MiniDV cam (avoid hard drives, and DVD camcorders are a joke). I recommend the Canon HV20 for an amateur who wants decent quality. What's your computer like? Buying a Mac Pro can be expensive, but for starts you should be able to do the majority of all necessary editing on an iMac, unless you're a true "professional." I imagine by that time, you'll have earned some spare cash to buy a Mac Pro, and then you have the luxury of using two computers. You can have your Mac Pro chugging away at rendering while you do other things on your iMac, like edit smaller projects. Imagine how nice it'd be to be able to leave your big machine going on a serious project, and then work on small projects for friends/family on your iMac.
Also, decide what you're looking for in terms of a job. Getting a position as a professional working for a company isn't easy, because every employer wants the same thing: highly skilled, proof of training (education), lots of experience on the job, etc. How the heck do you get that experience without first being hired, when everyone who hires wants you to have the experience first? Yeah, that's a big complaint for people getting out of college looking for jobs. Basically, you gotta do stuff for free or next-to-nothing for people to get a foot in the door. You can also do private jobs, like weddings, graduations, parties, etc.
Speaking of which, is that what you'd like? Your own private videography company? If so, you have to know a lot about running a business, including people skills. Slow starts are the norm, and years of "is this really worth it?" are not unusual. Also, lots of family/friends asking for favors. "Can you do my wedding, we can pay you the $10 for the tapes, and then give you $50 for your time." Your family and friends won't realize how expensive and exhausting video work is! One camera alone can easily cost over $2000, and they think that their $50 or $100 is worth it for you? That's how you start, but you can't survive doing that.
BTW, expect the problem that many encounter: after doing free work for a while, you'll be called on again and again by those people to do another free or nearly-free job. You'll have to just be firm (and polite) about the fact that you've stepped up a level, and now because of your experience and professional quality, you rightfully deserve much more for your services. If they can't understand that, ask them to perform their job for you for free, and then tell them that you have to encounter that several times a month, devouring hours of time that would have been paid jobs.
Video work is kind of like acting: a lot of people get into it because they want to be like the big guys, but they never make it. Lots of years at acting schools and lots of auditions later, many wannabe-actors and actresses are working as waitresses and department store clerks because it just didn't work out. Also, a lot of video editing jobs are pretty gosh-darn-boring. Honestly, my friend who graduated with an degree in broadcast communication ended up interning at a popular company that was well-known in his circle, and although he made money, and there was nothing horrible about it, he said it was just plain "blah." He spent most of his time just trimming up and cleaning up clips for use in documentaries, educational material, and advertising. The complete lack of any sense of connection with the material made it a very labor-intensive task. At least working privately, you are using your own footage and feel a sense of connection with the events you taped.
Consider it well before investing a lot of money. My advice: grab a Canon HV20 and purchase Final Cut Express, and use primarily the web, a good book, and maybe a few tutorial DVDs to teach yourself for a couple months. Make some videos between 10-30 minutes long, and if you love it, start diving in deeper. Take some classes, get Final Cut Studio, and explore more of your options.

Can't find Comment tool nor preferences nor Getting Started nor the version etc

I am starting to try and work with Adobe Reader for Windows 8.1 but I find it so streamlined as to be unworkable. I have checked some You Tube videos and the support subjects but apparently everything I need is hidden away somewhere.
I can't find what version I am using.
I can't find where my preferences are
I can't find Getting Started
I can't find the Annotations Panel
I can't find the Comment Tool
I can't find the Commenting Panel
I believe the apps bar to be along the bottom but when I pull that up and click options I can access "info" and that is it. On the upper right hand corner I can minimalize or close. That is it. I can change from single to double page and I can set it for continuous but nothing else. And disconcertingly when I enter these questions in the support search they are not found. Streamline is good but this isn't Thanks,

Dear Pat -
It's official. This is the worst program I have ever seen. You and I have gone back and forth many times and the amount of time I am wasting trying to get the most elemental tasks accomplished is not to be believed. How is Adobe still in business?
The first and MOST IMPORTANT thing is where is the MANUAL . I cannot anything that helps me. and NO I can not find in the Control panel the version I am supposed to be using. But AGAIN the MAIN THING is for me to get some help with the rudimentary aspects of the program. Unfortunately your program came with my windows package but because you guys decided to hide all the functionality I can't use it. I can't print, Your help and support is utterly worthless since it starts from the premise that I can find the buttons or controls necessary. I cannot. I can now find how to add a note, but I discovered that accidentally. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE MANUAL is or, if there is none and it could be dicey since I CAN'T FIND THE VERSION i AM using is there a tutorial or ANYBODY OUT THERE who can help me figure out how to do the basic stuff. My organization is trying to persuade me that we have to use this program but I am fighting back. Unless and until someone can demonstrate ANY USEFULLNESS, I hate Reader.

Help Getting Started with the Zen Vision:M (Z

Hi,I just got my ZVM and want to get started with it. I have a couple of questions, first:?. I have Windows Vista. Can I just plug in the ZVM and go without using the Installation CDs? Or do I still need to install something off of the installation discs?2. Why 2 installation discs? There is with a black cover that says Easy Start CD and has the Urge and Window Media Player logo at the bottom. The other is just in a plain white bordered sleeve with a light colored disc that says Zen Vision: M Installation CD at the bottom. I think I want to start with the light colored disc, but want to make sure. Thanks.

I think that the White disk that says Zen on it is the one you want it has Creative Media Source on it and is a very useful tool for me, the other disk has Windows Media Player on it and will also install a connection to a website that you can purchase tracks from (which i took off as soon as i found this out) not the WMP though, for some reason i could not get my Zen to work properly without the WMP loaded on my pc, however i use the Creative Media Source instead of the WMP.

Getting started with the iPhone SDK

Ok, so I downloaded the iPhone SDK to my Macbook Pro and installed it. When I go into the Developer folder I can find an xcode program, version 3.1, but I can't find how to get an IDE environment running to start writing code in. In short I'm new to the Mac platform and could do with some help getting started writing code for the Mac/iPhone platform. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to get me going?
(btw, I program in other languages on other platforms so I understand programming and its concepts, just not specific to a Mac ;D )

http://developer.apple.com
There are some good basic tutorials about XCode and then some good videos in the iPhone section
