A bit tricky question!!!!!!!

i have 1 smart playlist, and 1 regular playlist on my ipod. i have been trying to make all songs in the playlists excluded (not play) when i shuffle the rest, but at the same time when i choose to play any of the 2 playlists i want all the songs in them to play, not just the first one.
i know that if i choose the playlists songs to "skip when shuffling = no" this will play all songs in a playlist, but it would still play them if i shuffle the rest of the songs on my ipod, the ones that don't belong to any playlist.
i want to keep my playlists as an "on-demand play" and not included when i play non-playlist songs. and at the same time, i want them all to be played when chosen to.
i hope i am making sense here. anybody got an idea?
thanks for the help.

Not sure I understand, but I've seen other posts where people say only the first song of a playlist will play.
The workaround for this is to sort the playlist a different way (click on the Track #, Artist, Rating, or some other column header). Then click it back to the sort order you want, which is usually the left-most column with just numbers in it, and it should work.

Variable Offsets-Bit Tricky

Dear Friends,
It is very surprise with variable offsets (0CalWeek) in my Query.
I have a query where I have 2 structures.
In Rows, I have 3 selections in structure and one characteristic. The three selections are Different Product Groups let say A, B., C and characteristic is Product. So the Products are listing in the report according to A, B and C.
In Column, I have a Key Figure structure where I have Stock, Age (in No. of Months). The stock and Age are displayed against to Product.
Apart from the stock and Age, The User want to separate the Product Ages in to 4 categories like <6 Month Age Product Stock, <12 Month Age Product Stock, <24 Month Age Product Stock, >24 Months Age Product Stock. I created these selections using Boolean operators taking in to consideration of Age and Stock.
I have two variable selections for this query, Country (Mandatory) and Cal Week (Mandatory, User Entry/default). The Stock Key Figure is restricted with Variables Calweek and Country. Up to now the Report is working fine.
Now the User has new requirement is to calculate Previous 12 weeks Sale (in Units) of Product and then he wants to compare Previous 12 weeks Sale with each of <6 Month Age Product Stock, <12 Month Age Product Stock, <24 Month Age Product Stock and >24 Months Age Product Stock.
To Calculate Previous 12 Weeks Sale I have Actual Sales as Key Figure in Cube. In Selection, I restricted sales with 0Calweek variable with offsets and like that I made 12 selections. I created formula for previous 12 Weeks Sale.
Now my problem is When I introduced this Previous 12 Weeks Sale, The other columns <6 Month Age Product Stock, <12 Month Age Product Stock, <24 Month Age Product Stock, >24 Months Age Product Stock are not populating with Stocks but Previous 12 Weeks Sale is working fine.
If I remove Previous 12 week Sales and all 12 selections then all the ageing Columns are working.
This is bit tricky, Please suggest me a suitable solution for this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
SB

Hi,
12 weeks means 3 months.Right?
try by creating selections month wise. i.e. create 3 selections by restricting sales with offsets on months instead of 12 weeks .
Hope this helps!
(what about your previous thread?issue is resolved?if so,pl close it by assiging points )

A very very tricky question

Hi All,
Please help me in this question. There is a table with 4 columns in a table
col1,
col2
col3
col4
A user should be able to see the first 3 columns and be able to refer the col4 although he does not have access privilege on the col4.
Is this possible in Oracle ? If yes, please le me know how to.
I think it is not possible by views.. may be some new features of 9i or 10g like vpd.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

This appears to be a duplicate of a question you posted in another forum
Re: A very tricky question
Since it is the same folks in the Database - General forum and in the SQL & PL/SQL forums, please try not to cross-post. Having multiple discussions on exactly the same topic in different forums is going to be confusing for posters and often leads to folks duplicating a lot of effort.

Windows 8.1 Pro Bitlocker AES 256-bit cypher question

Hi, all
Have an odd situation I cannot make any sense of. I have a desktop PC running Windows 8.1 Pro. I launched gpedit.msc and changed Bitlocker’s cypher strength from the default AES 128-bit to AES 256-bit.
I then connected a brand new Western Digital 4TB external drive (model WDBFJK0040HBK-04) to the PC via USB 3.0, and Bitlocker-encrypted the drive. Opened a command prompt window as administrator, ran “manage-bde –status” for the drive in question,
which indicated the drive was encrypted with the 128 bit cypher strength, instead of 256 bits, as I had selected. Have unencrypted, rebooted and re-encrypted the drive time and again, always with the same results.
When connecting the same external 4TB drive to a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials in which I had made the exact same changes via gpedit.msc,
I can encrypt it with the 256-bit cypher strength, with no problems.
No TPM is used in either scenario, just a passphrase.
Anyone has any idea why my 256-bit setting is being ignored in the Windows 8.1 Pro machine?
Thanks
Arsene
ArseneL

Well, running rsop.msc in my Server 2012 R2 machine does show my 256-bit bitlocker setting took, however, running rsop.msc in my Win 8.1 Pro machine shows it did not, which explains the problem I am having.
Now all I have to do is find out why my request is not taking, even though I am logged in as an admin.
Thanks!!

Maximum audio sample rate and bit depth question

Anyone worked out what the maximum sample rates and bit depths AppleTV can output are?
I'm digitising some old LPs and while I suspect I can get away with 48kHz sample rate and 16 bit depth, I'm not sure about 96kHz sample rate or 24bit resolution.
If I import recordings as AIFFs or WAVs to iTunes it shows the recording parameters in iTunes, but my old Yamaha processor which accepts PCM doesn't show the source data values, though I know it can handle 96kHz 24bit from DVD audio.
It takes no more time recording at any available sample rates or bit depths, so I might as well maximise an album's recording quality for archiving to DVD/posterity as I only want to do each LP once!
If AppleTV downsamples however there wouldn't be much point streaming higher rates.
I wonder how many people out there stream uncompressed audio to AppleTV? With external drives which will hold several hundred uncompressed CD albums is there any good reason not to these days when you are playing back via your hi-fi? (I confess most of my music is in MP3 format just because i haven't got round to ripping again uncompressed for AppleTV).
No doubt there'll be a deluge of comments saying that recording LPs at high quality settings is a waste of time, but some of us still prefer the sound of vinyl over CD...
AC

I guess the answer to this question relies on someone having an external digital amp/decoder/processor that can display the source sample rate and bit depth during playback, together with some suitable 'demo' files.

64-bit Technical Question from Apple Insider

Hello Everyone,
I just posted a question in response to an article at Apple Insider:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/09/02/insidemac_os_x_snow_leopard_64bits.html
I thought that some people here might have either some insight to my question, or just might be interested in the article. Thanks!
Contents of post from Apple Insider:
I have a pretty extensive background with Windows and the x86 architecture, but still consider myself somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Macs. However, with Apple's switch to Intel CPUs, the basic architecture of Macs and PCS are largely the same now. Which leads me to my question. The x86 architecture was extended to 64-bit, similar to how the original 8086 was extended to 32-bit. The main point here is that to access the 32-bit features of the processor, the processor is switched to what is called "Protected Mode" to enable it. Similarly, to access the 64-bit mode of an x64 processor, it has to be switched to what is called "Long Mode." Long Mode is necessary to access the extra GPR (General Purpose Registers) and other features unique to x64. When running a 32-bit operating system, the x64 processor is switched to "Legacy Mode", which is unable to use the extra GPRs or other features of an x64 CPU. So, now on to my question.
32-bit versions of Windows have (as expected) a 32-bit kernel, and run in "Legacy Mode" on a 64-bit processor. 64-bit versions of WIndows have a 64-bit kernel, and run in "Long Mode", which allows 32-bit applications to run using a feature called "Compatibility Mode". So, does anyone here know how this applies to Snow Leopard? I mean, if you are using the 32-bit kernel in Snow Leopard, is the processor in Long Mode or is it in Legacy Mode? Does OS X boot the processor in Long Mode, but runs the kernel in Compatibility mode? That seems to be the best option, as it would allow exposure to the extra GPRs and stuff. However, I have been unable to find this information posted anywhere. Thanks!

Hi AppleMan1958,
The processor modes are not a fixture of BIOS or Windows, as they are a function of the x86 architecture. These modes (there are several, if you are interested check this wiki article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86#Operating_modes) are how the architecture maintains binary compatibly with programs that date back to 1978 (at least from an ABI level, there are other things that may prevent them from running on modern computer). As an interesting side note, MS-DOS is a 16-bit operating system, but many of the popular games (like Doom and Duke Nukem 3D) are 32-bit, so how does a 32-bit program run on a 16-bit OS? By the use of the ever-so-popular DOS Extender (anyone remember DOS4G?). The DOS extender switches the processor into "Protected" Mode, which is the native 32-bit mode of Intel 80386 and newer processors. I am thinking that Snow Leopard either runs in "Long Mode" and just runs the kernel as a 32-bit process in "Compatibility Mode", or there may be some sort of "extender" similar to how we got 32-bit programs to run in DOS. Thanks!

Tricky question, sum two rows...but more to it

Tricky one to explain...
ID TransType_ Balance Amount Principal
_1___CHR______-200_________________
_1___ADJ_______200_____200_________
_1___PMT______________-200_____200_
_2___CHR______-300_________________
_2___ADJ_______300_____300_________
_2___PMT______________-300____-300_
I have multiple rows for each unique ID, as you can see. What I want, is one row per ID WHERE balance = 0. So, I need to SUM the balances for each ID, where Trans Type = CHR and Trans Type = ADJ...and this should give me a total of 0, for the accounts I am interested in. It's a tricky one to explain, not sure if this makes sense to anyone else..Any suggestions appreciated...
Oracle 8 database...PL/SQL developer....

Hi,
Here's one way:
SELECT    id
FROM       table_x
WHERE        trans_type     IN ('ADJ', 'CHR')
GROUP BY id
HAVING       SUM (balance)     = 0

Whenever you post formatted text (such as query results) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
I have multiple rows for each unique ID, as you can see. What I want, is one row per ID WHERE balance = 0. Your table has multiple rows for each id, but you only want one row of output per id. That sounds like a job for GROUP BY.
So, I need to SUM the balances for each ID, If you weren't already thinking of GROUP BY, then SUM should make you think of it.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data.

16-bit and 12-bit audio question during editing

This will sound more like a camera question, but I didn't know if it will be part of editing video with Pre7. I read this on a web blog and was wondering if there is any truth to it. “Mini-DV amateur video cameras can record sound in 12-bit or 16-bit audio. 12-bit audio is used when you want to lay down another track on the video tape. But 12-bit audio can start to drift out of sync with some editing software. 16-bit audio is a stable setting.” Also, what is meant by laying down another track on the video tape?

Paul,
Yes, to the intended purpose of the 12-bit. Now, if one is going to do any editing, I'd strongly recommend not adding that soundtrack/musictrack to the tape. It will cause all sorts of problems in the edit, and is designed for one, who wishes to just show the tape on a TV.
That's two votes against 12-bit Audio.

OBIA 64 Bit installation question

Hi,
I am installing BI Apps on Linux 64 Bit. So All the Database, Informatica and DAC are downloaded as per 64 Bit compatibility on linux.
Now i am installing OBIEE 11.1.1.6 on windows as a pre-requisite for OBIA 7.9.6.3
I have the following question in my mind
should i install 32 bit OBIEE 11.1.1.6 software on windows ?
or
Should i install 64 bit OBIEE 11.1.1.6 software on windows ? (As my main OBIEE on linux is 64 Bit).
Thanks

I would suggest 64bit of 11g.

I have a tricky question about metadata and iTunes Match!

Hi,
Here's my question:
I have purchased some content from the iTunes Store, most of it classical music (although that's not so relevant for my question). The Store metadata is generally poor, so for every purchased item I changed the metadata to suit my tastes (for example, all albums by J.S. Bach have "Bach" as artist, instead of the performer, which is the default in the iTunes Store).
I have read some nightmare stories about metadata reverting to the original iTunes Store metadata, when subscribing to iTunes Match.
I have also understood that iTunes Match does not change the metadata stored locally on my HD.
So here is my question, which is twofold:
1) Say I bought a song by the artist "John" on the iTunes Store. On my library, I changed the artist field metadata to "Jeff". Now, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Naturally, it will match my song to the one on the Store. On my iPhone, will my song appear under "John", or "Jeff"?
2) In the same setting, after subscribing, will I still find this song under "Jeff" on my local library? In other words, what will change in my Desktop experience with iTunes?
If having bad metadata when browsing my music on my iPhone is the price to pay for having all my music at my disposal anytime, I won't mind. But if iTunes Match messes up all my hard work getting my library just right on my Desktop, then I have to pass.
Can you guys help me make a decision?
Thanks,
Paulo

Thanks,
Here is what another user got on https://discussions.apple.com/message/23028717#23028717 :
"I can say that when my spouse gifted me with iTunes Match it was a disaster for my music library. It's all classical, and I also standardized names of composers, performers especially when there were multiple ones, and a ton of other stuff. Whatever matched, iTunes just upped and erased that, and used the title, artist, and whatever else from the store."
This is *exactly* what I don't want to see happening! However, I could not find any other reports of what he describes. What do you think?

Final cut pro millions of colours + bit depth question

Hello
I am working in final cut pro 7 and I wanted to know what is the maximum bit depth I can export using the Prores codec? All I see in compression settings for rendering my timeline when wanting to render with Prores 4444 is the option for 'millions of colors' and 'millions of colors +' I was under the impression that millions of colors refered to 8 bit... does the alpha channel mean I can get 10 bit? can the alpha channel hold 2 more bits per channel or something? Or is there no way I can export a 10bit file using the Prores codec within fcp7..? is it all just 8bit. -and when I select 422HQ there is no advanced options for millions of colors..what does this mean? is the only way to get 10bit out of fcp7 to render with the 10bit uncompressed codec? and if so can I render the timeline in prores while im working with it then delete all the renders and change the render codec to 10bit uncompressed, will this now be properly giving me 10bit from the original 4444 12 bit files i imported in the beginning..?
Any help is much appreciated

ProRes is 10-bit. Every ProRes codec is 10-bit...LT, 422, HQ. Not one of them is 8-bit. Except for ProRes 444...that's 12 bit.

Bit depth question

Hello,
My audio device can sample up to 24-bit. When I create a 32-bit file in Audition 2.0 and record material using the audio device, Audition tells me the file is 32-bit, and it is indeed twice the size of an equivalent 16-bit file. But is it really a 32-bit file, and could there be any issues with the file? It seems fine in every way.
Thank you.

No audio hardware actually samples at greater than 24-bit, because there's absolutely no point - even 24-bit depth isn't actually usable in full; a system like this could in theory digitise a noise floor way lower than can be physically achieved by any mic and preamp system available - you'd need at least liquid nitrogen cooling of all the components before you even started to look at the rest of the problems!
So why does Audition record in 32-bit? Well, 32-bit Floating Point digitising is a bit different. The actual 24-bit signal is recorded quite faithfully (although not quite in the form of an integer signal) and the other 8 bits are essentially left as zeros during recording. What they actually are is scaling bits. And this comes in seriously useful when processing. What it means is that your original signal can be scaled up and down without loss. In an integer engine, if you decided to throw away 30dB of a signal, saved the result and reopened the file and amplified it again, you'd find that your 24-bit signal was effectively 19-bit. In Audition, if you did exactly the same thing with a 32-bit Floating Point signal, you wouldn't lose any bit depth at all. No it's not magic - it's just the effect of storing the original data in a form that inherenently doesn't get modified when an amplitude change is asked for - it's only the scaling system that does, and this doesn't contain audio data.
So yes it's a real 32-bit signal - but not all of those 32 bits are used until you do some processing.

Case statement help needed bit tricky

I have a requirement for a Column Quarters which will idenitfy records based on their service and paid paids.
Output of Column should be
QTR
FSY2015Q1
Our Quarters start like this Q1= 9/1 /2014-11.30.2014 , Q2 12/1/2014 -02/28/2015, Q3: 3/1/2015 - 05/31/2015 Q4:06/01/2015 -08/31/2015.
With the below Case statement records that hit Q1 should be for the FSY upcoming. records in Sept, Oct, November of 2014, would actually be for FSY15Q1 (not FSY14Q1). How can i correct
this ?
case
when datepart(mm, Service_Through_Date ) between '9' and '11' and datepart(mm, c.paid_date ) between '9' and '11'
Then 'Q1 '
when datepart(mm, Service_Through_Date ) in ('01','02', '12' ) and datepart(mm, paid_date ) in ('01','02' , '12' )
Then 'Q2 '
when datepart(mm, Service_Through_Date ) between '03' and '05' and datepart(mm, paid_date ) between '03' and '05'
Then 'Q3 '
when datepart(mm, Service_Through_Date ) between '06' and '08' and datepart(mm, paid_date ) between '06' and '08'
Then 'Q4 '
else ' ' end + ' ' + 'FSY ' + '' + cast(datepart(Year, Service_Through_Date)as char(7)) as QTR
FM

Your best bet here is going to be to create a calendar table, which has your quarters in it.
I wrote an article on them here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29260.tsql-calendar-functions-and-tables.aspx.
For your particular scenario you'll need to add a column to the existing code, something like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN DATEPART(MONTH,@date) IN (9,10,11) THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(@date)+1,2)+'Q1'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH,@date) IN (12) THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(@date)+1,2)+'Q2'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH,@date) IN (1,2) THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(@date),2)+'Q2'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH,@date) IN (3,4,5) THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(@date),2)+'Q3'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH,@date) IN (6,7,8) THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(@date),2)+'Q4'
END AS fiscalQuarterName
Once you have this column, you can simply join to the calendar table:
SELECT service_through_date, paid_date, sc.fiscalQuarterName, pc.fiscalQuarterName
FROM myTable t
INNER JOIN calendar sc
ON t.service_through_date = c.today
INNER JOIN calendar pc
ON t.paid_date = pc.today
If you can't, or don't want to impliment this, you could solve the issue in your cast statement by moving the year into the CASE, like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN DATEPART(MONTH, Service_Through_Date ) BETWEEN 9 AND 11 AND DATEPART(MONTH, c.paid_date) BETWEEN 9 AND 11 THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date)+1,2)+'Q1'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH, Service_Through_Date ) = 12 AND DATEPART(MONTH, c.paid_date) = 12 THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date)+1,2)+'Q2'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH, Service_Through_Date ) BETWEEN 1 AND 2 AND DATEPART(MONTH, paid_date) BETWEEN 1 AND 2 THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date),2)+'Q2'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH, Service_Through_Date ) BETWEEN 3 AND 5 AND DATEPART(MONTH, paid_date) BETWEEN 3 AND 5 THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date),2)+'Q3'
WHEN DATEPART(MONTH, Service_Through_Date ) BETWEEN 6 AND 8 AND DATEPART(MONTH, paid_date) BETWEEN 6 AND 8 THEN 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date),2)+'Q4'
ELSE 'FSY'+RIGHT(YEAR(Service_Through_Date),2)
END
