32 bit & 64 bit Diff

Hi all,
The question may not be related to this forum but i will be very thankful if anyone can explain in brief about the difference and the benefits of 64 bit

Hi,
"The primary benefit is higher performance. An enterprise database, like Oracle9i Database, is very demanding on a processor's computing ability, and 64-bit processors enable Oracle to manager data in much larger chunks than with 32-bit processors"

Backing Up (but a bit diff to the norm)

I know there is tons on backing up here and i have had a quick nose but can't find the answer i need.
So I have a dual boot win7 64 bit machine (and D is used 99% of the time, C only there as a back up in case D goes down) I use an app called Arkbackup to back up my normal files on a daily basis, these being my docs/my pics/emails/newsleecher/winrar/digiguide and other apps folders that are needed, these are then backed up to drive I as i say on a daily basis.
Now what i want to do is take a complete back up off ALL necciserisy files and folders for iTunes this will also include, not only files to allow full restore if drive crashes but also all the musis files themselves (so about 70GB in total) these will be then stored on and External USB 2TB drive, then i will set Arkbackup to back up everyday all iTunes files/folders EXCEPT the music files, of course i will back up Automatically Add to iTunes/.iTunes Preferences/iPod Games/Movies everyday but what other files and folders do i need to back up bearing in mind D is my OS drive here.
In a nut shell playlist/times played etc etc needs to be kept so i can restore if it all goes bad and needed to be installed on a new machine, one last thing does it matter if new machine had different user name, for example my PC is called All1 if i have another machine named Laptop will i be able to install on there?

iCloud backups can not be accessed directly. They camn only be restored.
If you are unsure, backup via iTunes too and do not wipe the old phone until the new is restored.
You can view that a backup is present here:
iCloud - Settings > iCloud > Storage & backup > Manage Store > You should see your devive backup, select for details
iTunes -
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.)
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ (Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.)
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ (Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.)

Logic and BFD (all out) problem...I know, I know, but this one's a bit diff

OK, I'm new to Logic. But I pretty much get it. I totally understand how the Logic Environment should be interfacing with BFD (all out), using audio objects (Aux) for the coresponding outs from BFD. Here's the thing...
When I try to select the input options for the Aux object from BFD all I get is "BFD (all out) 3-4" and no other options from BFD. Am I missing anything or is my BFD just being a jerk? Also, after updating and re-installing BFD and Logic the AU manager still won't pass BFD. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1GB Ram

I thought this is what it's supposed to do. Send
channels 1-2 to the track, and the rest to the aux
objects (which would start w/ 3-4).
Yes, I understand this, however all subsequent tracks (not just the next sequential tracks) pull up as 3-4. No further outputs are given once 3-4 has been selected once. They all come up with 3-4 if stereo or 3 or 4 if mono. Nothing else. That's why I now suspect it's an issue for FXpansion to solve.
This isn't do or die for me. It's definitely more convenient that soloing each output in BFD one at a time and recording it to an audio track, but I can do that in the meantime. Thanks all for your input!

Bit comparison on binary files

Hi
I am trying to compare two binary files in order to find out how many bits differ between the two files. I dont know how to reference file 'bits' in order to perform the comparison however, and i cannot find much information online. Can anybody give me some pointers on how to start or point me towards some helpful information?
Thanks

Read the files in bytes.
XOR the corresponding bytes. Only bits that differ will be 1.
AND with 0x01 to see if the low order bit is 1. Shift right and repeat for the rest of the bits.

Database Diff not working using 3.1 - 64 bit

Hi there,
I have just tried using the utility Database Diff in 3.1 on windows 64-bit and this does not produce any differences between 2 similar schemas. I have just downloaded 3.1 32-bit (Java included) and this works fine. I am running Windows 7 64bit.
Any ideas?
Regards,
VicC

I have managed to sort this out, I was trying to speed up the startup of SQL Developer and disabled some of the extensions. The crucial one here is Versioning support. This must be enabled for Database Diff to work.

DL DVD with 2 features at diff. bit rates?

I'm making a dual layer DVD with 2 movies; one is 2.5 hours long and one is 1 hour long. I found a layer break point and made the disc no problem. However the quality is not as good as I would have hoped. I created both movies in FCP and simply exported them as Current Settings Quicktime Movies. I set the DVD SP settings just about as high as I could.
I was considering re-exporting both movies through compressor, making the 2.5 hour movie a higher quality than the other, since the longer one is the more important one. However, the idea of working out the math to figure out what bit rates to make them each makes my head hurt. Am I correct in thinking that doing this would be one **** of a difficult task full of trial and error, hours of frustration and copious tears?

There are a bunch of ways I can think of.
1) Set the iPods to sync only "selected" playlists. For each playlist, add the songs with the proper bitrate. You can use Smart Playlists to use the bitrate of the songs.
2) Use separate libraries. 700 songs doesn't take very long to load.

LR4 invokes both 32- and 64-bit Photoshop diff times. Want 64.

Searched various ways -- no threads found.
When I go out of LR4.1 to edit in Photoshop I see both 32- and 64-bit versions of PS v5.5 start -- judging from version string in the splash graphic, which includes the "x32" or "x64". Yesterday, every time I side-tripped it called v12.something.x32. This morning it was the 64-bit. I usually click the image in LR4.1 and type <CTRL-E> but yesterday I sometimes used the menu fly-out under "Photo --> Edit In", too.
Looking into this, I read in threads yesterday that both versions are on any machine so went looking for two different ".exe" files but found only one.
My OS is Win7 Pro, 64-bit.
Any suggestions of ways to guarantee that the 64-bit version opens every time?
TIA,
jonathan7007

Victoria,
Thank you for answering, and I looked at the Reg change discussed. The Adobe documentation doesn't tie this change to the issue I am having. I "start" PS in two different ways. But if I go to the "photoshop.exe" file as shown in Windows Explorer, I sure want PS 64-bit to start. That file is the one to which LR points as set up by LR's Preferences or whatever dialog box appeared. PS is named as the External Editor in the Prefs tab., "External Editing". PS is named as the first entry on the flyout menu, and I often invoke it with <CTRL-E>.
I was hoping for more users to look at their splash screens at PS start and share what version starts on their 64-bit systems. Perhaps there is a pattern that explains why one version or another starts.
Questions for other LR/PS users:
What version starts when you side-trip to PS?
Whare are the two versions differentiated as "start" resources? (not deep in the Registry, I mean.)
Do I care which starts?

Apparent kompare bug(s)

I apologise in advance for the length of this 1st-Arch-post-in-years. I value context more than brevity, I guess. Hopefully this is the longest post I'll throw at Arch for a long, long time.
I looked around (quite) a bit before filing this post. I've used Arch off-n-on since 0.4, know the Arch site, the basics about Arch, and most of the "gotcha's" farly well - but I'm no sysop, either.
I have a project I've been needing and meaning to work on for years (and which continues to compound itself while I don't); a huge set of backups on CD/DVD of all my data (my *life*, really) for well over a decade - letters, graphics, email, the first 40 pages of my book, you name it. Over the years this 'little' library has grown to over 10 GB compressed (30,000 files, *most* of them ARCHIVES). My guess is that 2-4 GB (compressed) of the data is important, some very much so.
My archive collection consists of many recursed archives themselves, and they're in about 8 or 10 different formats, to boot (even *.ice, LMAO). Many are further embedded several levels into the main archives (yes, I know that's a bad idea, but I didn't know that when I created them...). I BADLY need to unpack all this stuff, find and toss the duplicates, and truly organise (and efficiently backup) the remainder. This effort will obviously require a lot of automation (or else my heirs will either do it, or not).
I'd found a couple of useful tools in the Windows world years ago, but I don't buy software and the key piece of my suite was shareware that disabled itself after 30 days - not nearly enough time to plow through this boatload of bits.
A few months back I built a system with an Athlon XP 3500+ on an Asus A8N-E mobo w/512MB and 120 GB and 250 GB HD's. I'm hoping to go the RAID route soon - Linux software RAID, in fact. The 250 GB HD is running off an add-in PCI ATA card; both HD's have a UDMA channel all to themselves. The machine's got 4 extra fans, a nicely oversized 485W P/S, and the on-board sensors consistently show it running cool. I'm quite sure this isn't a H/W problem (I'm having no others; I built it myself...). This machine has been absolutely rock-solid in every other regard. I LOVE the system; now if I can simply use it for this one basically administrative project.
I finally have both the speed and the space required to tackle this now-monster project. When I "came home" to Arch a few months ago, I wanted to try several WMs/DMs; GNOME, KDE, E17, fluxbox and ratpoison (at least) are all loaded on my system, and I've booted most at least once. I'd assumed I'd have a LOT of options as to the tools to use.
I've been man-paging and googling and pacman -Q'ing (followed by more googling) for a couple of weeks through the course of my testing thus far, while trying various wrappers in various WMs. My concluson: Houston, we have a problem! <S>Maybe</S> Several.
In the past I've been partial to KDE (that's quickly changing), and it's what I started with this time around. As such, kompare seemed the obvious route to go, and had MOST (NOT all) of the functionality I needed (I also very much like it's GUI). Of course, kompare is simply a wrapper for diff (several diff variants, in fact, potentially). It's possible that diff is the problem. Hopefully further testing (and/or comments here) will make that determination more clearly.
Subsequent googling has revealed that the diff version shipped with Arch likely hasn't been completely functional at all levels in almost *5 YEARS* now. Diff's codefile timestamp is Sept. 3, *2002*! Version 2.8.1 (3.4 is current - just like *kompare*'s current version is 3.4). Additionally, directly below diff in that listing is diff3. Diff's codefile size is about 60K; diff3's is about 20K. *However*, they both have the same timestamp AND version # !!!
A *completely cosmetic* bug (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138347) is fairly clearly the same bug as (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesdk/+bug/45466 - 3-1/2 *YEARS* earlier!), and seemingly a trivial patch for a competent maintainer to create, at that. I've verified (w/o even trying) that this bug is resident in my system as we speak. Of course it is - the version of diff Arch is currently shipping was compiled almost a YEAR before the FIRST of the 2 bug reports above were filed! My Arch desktop O/S was installed less than a month ago using the 0.7.2 base ISO (kompare's timestamp is Jan. 20, 2007; version 3.4 - and it's a wrapper for a piece of code last compiled in 2002? What, the 2.0 kernel?). I've aggressively maintained my system current since my very recent install. See how well kompare/diff work on YOUR system...
Indeed, from the kompare bug page, it's hard to believe it's EVER been stable - or even used (see http://bugs.kde.org/simple_search.cgi?i … &offset=20 and just keep on clicking "View More Results" - or get yourself an energiser bunny to do it for you, maybe).
I copied the backups from CD's/DVD's to a clean, freshly-showered 64 GB (62.8, actually) ext3 partition (4K blocksize, defaults otherwise, journal included). I set up a top-level directory in this partition with 15 directories beneath it, one for each of my backup discs (whose contents range in size from 50 MB to 4.36 GB). I copied one archive to each directory, then unpacked them one at a time from the command line, removing the archive copy as I went. I ended up with about 15 GB of active data (25%).
I first configured kompare to use diff (w/no C/L options) running under KDE. As kdiff3 is kompare's preference, however, why is kdiff3 not already in the repos?
I'd not used it before, so I wasn't familiar with kompare's UI. I started out working with a few smaller subsets of the data I knew were near-perfect copies of each other and that wouldn't overload the filesystem. It seemed to act strangely; while I expected it to be well-optimised, both HD activity and CPU utilisation seemed extremely low for extended periods (and note my setup doesn't allow for a HDD LED for the HD on the controller card, where ALL the disk activity is going on).
After 3 runs in a row w/o a single errant file being found, I made a 2-byte mod to a small, non-critical text file that was part of the archive I was currently komparing, rebooting to make DAMNED sure cache was cleared, and reran kompare; identical results. The change STILL wasn't detected (the changed file still showed as being an exact copy of the original). The output I was getting was quite weird: usually, the 'kompare' would run at what seemed a rational speed; after a while a response screen would then open, *completely* devoid of data or messages. Immediately after that an odd dialogue box popped up; the title bar said "Error!", but the *message* was, basically, "No Duplicates Encountered." (or some such), or, more commonly, the same one I encountered repeatedly while searching the internet: "Could not parse diff output." (presumably because kompare still wasn't passing the proper parameters to diff). The program crashed about 1/2 the time (actually, give it a big enough block of data, and it'll crash every time). I was stunned 4 days later when ONE run (an exact duplicate of one I'd already attempted several times) resulted in "proper" output - *PERFECT*, with a complete and correct analysis - and completely unreproduceable, even after rebooting. It's ("It's" = proper analysis/output has) happened 3 times since, twice while working with data sets I would term 'trivial'.
So, in 2 weeks I got 3 runs w/o errors. I assure you I was trying at least 2 runs most days; a 1/2-dozen some days. By then, I also knew that kompare under KDE wasn't my only option - and I knew a bit more.
I use the "usual" repositories. When I finally checked diff's compile date, my jaw dropped: Sept. 3, *2002* !!! It's version 2.8.1; the current stable release is 3.4, and 3.5 is currently available for D/L (albeit not released). V. 2.8.1 works with the 2.6 kernel about as well as the original GWBasic compiler ('interpreter') does in WinXP...and may have been this way for a long time.
More research (difficult, given the age of what little kompare documentation is available on the web). The primary maintainer apparently got removed from maintaining the package in 2003 (and, I presume, other packages, as well) for what appeared to be 'apathy' (MY words). He 'forgot' to include an update after saying he would do so (a patch to pass the appropriate parameters to diff, hopefully fixing the "Could not parse diff output." message, and maybe even straighten out my anomolies, as well).
Kompare hasn't been updated since. Diff3 IS currently being maintained. Actually, even though diff3 has apparently replaced diff, *kompare* prefers kdiff3. For that matter, from my reading thus far, diff, diff3, vimdiff and cmp ALL may possibly be useable (the latter would require some scripting). Further, ALL the following may possibly be made able to work as wrappers (in decreasing order of likelihood, IMNSHO): kompare, krusader, meld, and emelFM2.
So, diff is broken, and it doesn't appear that it's going to be fixed...I personally was a bit consternated when I realised just how off-the-rails kompare was. I see a function such as that provided by kompare as both *critical* AND as a 'black box' function - it HAS to work. Just like the ALU MUST compute 2+2 = 4, or the 'computer' becomes a boat anchor...
So, I D/L'ed meld (for GNOME; it runs under KDE but no help is avalable), then emelFM2 (written for E17, I believe). I've spent the past week trying various combinations of (a) kompare, krusader, meld and emelFM2 as wrappers for diff under (b) KDE, GNOME, and E17. The results have been SO inconsistent it's scary. This includes both giving apparently proper results with a big job on rare occasion (but not consistently reproduceable), and VERY bizarrely, on one occasion, wiping a brand new, 64 *GB* ext3 partition CLEAN. I assure you the remainder of my testing will be on a dedicated partition! This HD is almost braad-new and has given me ZERO other trouble.
Meld was the most consistently performing diff setup I used (on any WM; it worked on them all).
I plan to spend the next 1-2 weeks doing some detailed and structured testing of all possible combos of wrapper/driver/WM, rather than just diff. I also plan to see if it's possible to pass command-line parameters to diff from kompare (if I have the time to spend ANY more w/kompare; kompare clearly isn't what I need - even though it had the . Yes, I *do* know how many combos of 4 wrappers, 4 drivers, and 3 WM's there are (48); my college major was statistics, LOL. And 48 test runs is adequate to test each combo, ONCE...
To me, this task is like big sort jobs were on mainframes a (human, not computer!) generation ago: potentially very large, critical tasks, the results of which aren't always easy to manually double-check. Surely many, if not most, users have a manner of doing this. Diff has apparently been broken for maybe 5 years and THAT wouldn't have gone unnoticed - am I one of the VERY few to even try to use kompare? What do the rest of you use?
Note that after locating and reading as much kompare documentation as possible (I read more BUG reports than anything), I made several important discoveries:
(a) kompare isn't really set up for binary files; it's intended for use with text files. You can specify an option to force a text-mode search, but you apparently canNOT do the reverse.
(b) It err'ed out comparing two M$ 'Word' files, stating they "were binary"...
(c) Worst of all, for me: These files have been archived to CD or DVD, usually repeatedly, and then copied back to disk (I've lost 3 good-sized archives this way - which does serve to somewhat justify my apparently obsessive need to backup files). Kompare does do individual file comparisons (ie, if you specify both files on the command line) byte-by-byte (block-by-block, whatever), but if you request that it compare *directories*, filename and size are all it considers (it appears from the sparse documentation I've seen that this is corrected in the *current* version, . The duplicate-file tool suite I used in Windows did an MD5 hash on *every* file, no matter the size; I *knew* when a bit error had creeped in, and usually knew fairly quickly. Not finding out you have a bad backup until it's the only copy of your data you have left is no good!
Anyone have any suggestions on doing this task efficiently and reliably in Arch?
Again, I believe this to be an upstream problem in a way, but my guess is that if we were using the *current* diffutils to match the KDE version (and a maintainer had done his job in a timely fashion) this bug would NOT exist. My advice, at least until Arch can get diff3 (or, preferably, kdiff3) packaged, STAY AWAY FROM kompare !!! At least with anything critical, at least until this issue is better understood.
Kompare (and diffutils, as well, IMO) needs to be removed from the 'public' repo's until it's close to fixed, at least. Just pkgbuild'ing the current diffutils version (or kdiff3!) is likely the easiest way out. Who knows, MAYBE I'll take a stab at that myself. No promises.
For ANYONE still reading, WOW! TIA. Really. Sorry for the tome.

Check http://websvn.kde.org/ to follow the development progress of kompare, it's part of kdesdk. diff3 is from diffutils 2.8.1 and I wouldn't call that "maintained", but you already know that. It is obviously not a replacement for diff, did you ever read the manpages? And wow, a KDE program prefers to use another KDE program!

Genius. Comparing binary files is useless. If you used MS Office you're hosed, that simple. More useful advice at the end.

Yep.

Upstream, right... diffutils have nothing to do with KDE at all... Arch has diff3 and kdiff3 packaged ... it's no 'issue' at all.
Okay, I apologize for that 'tone' of mine but I get pissed easily when wasting so much time on something as this.
I know your problem very well as I'm constantly backing up stuff, comparing directories and hunting duplicates.
After unpacking everything the first step to take is to run a comprehensive check for binary duplicates. My tool of choice for that task is Total Commander (Win32 shareware, no timeout, just a minor nag screen on start, works fine with Wine). Just a few random keyboard shortcuts you might find handy (see the help file for explanations): ctrl-b, ctrl-f1(-f6), ctrl-c,y, alt-f7
After killing them, go on to compare ("synchronize") similar directories, either with Total Commander, Krusader, rsync, diff -R, whatever.
If you encounter similar named files, check the dates and kill the older ones, or compare them if they're not binary.
And so on... you know best what kind of data you got and how to split it up.
Throwing plain diff on a set of thousands of files, possibly gigabytes is a huge waste of time and computing/power resources. Adding a frontend will make it crash most of the time, especially with binary files. I think using kdiff3 to compare the Arch Linux 0.8 base beta1 iso to the beta2 one alone should suffice. A few more gigabytes of RAM might help though.

How to call a labview dll from excel-VBA?

How to call a simple Labview DLL from Excel VBA?
I have seen examples of DLL calls from VB but does it work the same way for VBA? I have 2000 excel and Labview 8.5. I created the DLL and tried to call it from VBA using the same type of code as in NI's website example(ofcourse its a bit diff with 8.5)
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/...
BUT it errors out when called from excel
ERROR: The object invoked has disconnected from its client

You would need to provide more details about the LabVIEW DLL, such as the prototypes of the functions (VIs) that you're trying to call, and your actual VBA code. Specifically, what object you're trying to create. You should also make sure the Run-Time Enginer is installed, as well as any required libraries such as the VISA Run-Time if you're using VISA. Have you made sure to enable the ActiveX server for the DLL?

How to Count total number of Words in PDF?

I am used Adobe Acrobat javascript inbuilt function getPageNumWords(<pagenumber>) it return the number of words present in specified page, but while am copy and paste text content from PDF file to MS Word, Words count given by MS Word is little bit differ, so any one know in which aspect Acrobat count the words?
Which words count result is correct?
Shall is go with Acrobat Words count result or MS Words count result?
But I want to count the total number of words in PDF file (my input is PDF file) else can I go with iText?
Words count in PDf using iText is possible?

Word counts are likely to vary a little according to how you count. For instance, are hyphenated words one or two words? What if the hyphen is at the end of a line? Do numbers count as words? Headers and footers? Captions?
Generally, you just accept a slight variation. If you are counting words in a professional context, i.e. where payment is per word, you probably need a contractual definition of how words are to be counted; in the absence of one, I suggest you use Word.

Autopatch - Error running adutlrcmp.pls in adprdcAdUtilrcmp()

Hi,
We have recently migrated our EBS 10g database from 32 bit RHEL4 server to 64 bit OEL5 server.
All the apps servers are runing on 32 bit RHEL 4 server.
After migrating all apps services are working fine.
Now i am trying to upgrade the database to 11g.
As part of that, applied 11g Release 2 interoperability patch for 11.5.10 (8815204).
The patch log file shoing the below error while compiling invalid objects.

What is the reason for this? Is it due to 32 bit and 64 bit diff?
How can i solve this issue?

Help for Seconds to Duration (hh:mm:ss) conversion

I have this SubVI that is to convert Seconds to Duration (hh:mm:ss). This SubVI works fine for converting Seconds below 54000 (15:00:00) but the subsequent Seconds, for instance (57600 seconds), it returns Duration -8:00:00 instead of 16:00:00.
My SubVI is attached below. Would any kind souls please help ??.... thanks...
Note : - I've included the ConvertDurationToSeconds.vi to allow you to convert Duration to Seconds

Judging by you code and the results you reported I guess you are the other side of the world from me.
I just happened to have worked with a driver that was provided by Cincinati Sub-Zero as part of the LabVIEW driver that supports one of their temperature chambers.
As part of the driver they include a VI that does exactly what you want. CSZ does not support this driver, so do not call them for help. The sub-VI is included below.
The issues that are hitting you here are patially addressed in a memo posted to Info-LabVIEW by Rolf.
I include the same below.

LabVIEWs internal time (seconds since January 1, 1904, midnight UTC) are UTC
based. All times displayed on a frontpanel however are in local time which is
dependant on the time zone set in the OS.

If you want to have a graph set to Time & Data and display only the time to get
a nice 24 hours display for instance (relative time format has unfortunately
not the same formating features as the absolute time) you can easily get that
by setting the X axis offset to the appropriate offset of (24 * 3600 -
(timezone offset)). This is a one time thing when opening the graph window
and then the graph displays fine with 00:00 ......
There are utilities on the Info-LabVIEW site, I believe developed by Stepan
Riha, to get the actual UTC offset correctly calculated. It isn't really
difficult just a little bit diff calculation and proper 24 hours overflow
handling.
>I WISH NI WOULD FIX THIS.
Not so simple without causing many more problems for existing applications.
Also using UTC as internal time format is a good choice, it really is! And
displaying local time for absolute times is also what 99% of the users expect
to see, so a good choice too.
The only workable approach I see is either improve the formating capabilities
of the relative time display to allow similar display formats as in the
absolute time format and/or add an option to the absolute time format to
display UTC instead of local time. But above fix can solve the problem nicely.
