A quick and easy way to add genre to songs in a playlist

I have a 160mb classic ipod and I want to shuffle only a portion of my total library tracks. I am thinking the best way to do this is to use the Smart Playlist function and shuffle by genre. But if I do that I want to change the genre label or add one to many of my 4000 songs. Is there anyway to do this easily? I tried to select every song in a playlist and right click and use Apply Sort Field, but unfortunately genre is not one of these fields! Any idea?
Or (although this may be the wrong forum), is the any way, short of making one gigantic playlist, to get my iPod to shuffle among just certain playlists?

The only way to add to files to a playlist on the player itself is to put them in the queue, then save the queue as a playlist.

Quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

Could anyone recommend a quick and easy way to learn to use Oracle Spatial?

Depends on your style.
Reminds me of a story a contractor to an IT department I worked in once told me.
He used to work in Silicon Valley in the '70s and told a story of a company that
hired a particular programmer who was brilliant but unstable. They used to set
up a room with a VT100 and a bottle of Tequila. The programmer would arrive
and set to work. As the Tequila emptied it was replaced. At some point over
the following days or weeks a scream would be heard from the room, followed
by a crash as the VT100 went through the window and the programmer disappeared.
They would replace the window, the VT100, the Tequila and wait till he came back
from "walkabout".
"Extreme Programming" '70s tyle!
OH&S would never allow this nowadays! That, plus Prozac means these sorts
of programmers are probably very rare!
Cheers!

Quick and easy way to encode video files?

With out using another application.

An easy and simple way you can do this is by using Finder. It might not be the best option, depending on what you need but try it out.
Control+Click on the file and select > Encode Selected Video Files
You can choose from 480p, 720p, 1080p, Audio Only, or Apple ProRes under the Settings drop down menu.
Then choose whether you want to Encode for higher quality or greater compatability.
When you have selected your settings the window will tell you the Format, Resolution, Date rate and what it compatible with. The 480p, 720p and 1080p will use H.264 compression which is highly compressed and probably what you want to choose to compress your file.
After you have selected your settings select the destionation and if you want to delete the source file and click continue.
Done. Easy and simple, done right in finder.

Is there a quick and easy way to reorder de-interleaved data?

I am collecting 5 channels of data through a DMA FIFO by interleaving, then recording to a TDMS file. When I check it, it's in mostly good order, but there are certain points where the channels get switched. For example, the Channel order when I open the file is 1 2 3 4 5, as expected, for several thousand elements. But at some point, it gets shifted to 4 5 1 2 3, and later 2 3 4 5 1. Left-to-right, they are always ordered correctly, so it's easy to reorder them, but very tedious with millions of elements. I have attached some sample data. I'm looking for A) a way to prevent this or B) some kind of sorting tool or script in LabVIEW or DIAdem that may sort it for me. I'll work on a sorting script in the meantime.
I am using LabVIEW 2011 Real-time and FPGA 2011, and the standard TDMS open and write functions. I also have access to DIAdem.
Solved!

Sorry for the slow response -
I've looked at everything, and so far I can't identify the problem. I believe my code is consistent with the producer-consumer architecture.
On the real-time side, I am reading data from the FIFO and writing to the TDMS in the same loop.
On the FPGA side, analog channels are read, converted to the same fixed-point format with a time stamp in a single-cycle timed loop, and then ordered into the FIFO in a for loop. I have posted the relevant parts below.
I am using C-series modules in a CompactRIO.

Any cheap and easy ways to add a shop within iweb?

I want to add a shop to my iweb for some antiques, but need it so that visitors can buy multiple items and have a shopping cart etc....is there a plugin like you can do with wordpress because i much prefer iweb...

One approach would be to set up a free, online web shop at weebly.com and hyperlink to it from your iWeb site. See the video here:
http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2009/05/announcing-weebly-e-commerce-features.html
...There's also a way to link directly to an external site (such as a Weebly shop) from iWeb's navigation bar.

Is There A Quick And Easy Way Of Avoiding "Stepped" Edges (Aliasing)?

I am using Compresor 3.0.3 to encode HDV projects to SD DVD.
I originally tried Exporting QuickTime Movies from FCP but discovered there was terrible shimmering on straight edges and severe judder when panning or if someone walked across the frame.
Using the "DVD Best Quality 90 minutes" setting smoothed out all the above problems.
Unfortunately it left noticeable stepping or aliasing on diagonal sharp lines !
This is much less of a problem than the judder but if possible I would like to get rid of it.
I have read up about the Bonsai method, but the processing times involved are enormous and not warranted by the slightness of the problem.
I have also seen an anti-alias slider in Compressor but when I used it the processing slowed almost to a halt. Maybe I was operating it incorrectly ?
Is there a quick way to get rid of the stepped edges, or is it something everyone has to live with when converting HDV to SD DVD ?
Ian.

Yes it's all PAL Kyle. The problem isn't just mine though. It seems to be par for the course. From what I have read, the Bonsai method was devised to overcome it but the actual problem is really so slight, that for amateur work the cure is a bit over the top.
http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Step-by-Step.html
It's too darned hot Luca ! Especially at night.
Your process seems a bit like the Bonsai method and I'm beginning to think that I might be exaggerating the problem in my mind.
The aggravating thing is that when I did a straight Export>To QT Movie, although I got terrible judder, there was almost no sign of aliasing ......... which is why I felt there should be a simple solution.
I'll just have to pray that they bring the prices of Blu-ray down rapidly, so there will be no need to use standard def.
I am going to experiment with shooting 25PF tomorrow to see if that helps ........ or not.

Easy way to add more audiotracks??? + Environment midi/audio question???

Hi!
Let's say, when I open a new project I have standard 24 audio tracks.
But when recording I see that I will need more, is there an easy and fast way to add more tracks?
As I see it now, I Have to run the Logic Setup Assistent, add more tracks (let's say 40). Reopen the project, go in the environment, create a new audio object for every track I want to add, double click it and assign the correct track to 'channel'. If I need to add 10 more tracks I have to go over these last steps 10 times. Am I missing some handy quick trick here?
Also, the second part of my question:
when I open the environment window, sometimes it only shows "midi" and the "GS instrument drum mapped" and some other times it shows "audio" and an "overview of my mixer". This seems to happen at random and I don't know why. The mixer view is what I want (especially when I need to add tracks as mentioned before), but when I get the midi view I don't know what to do to get the audio/mixer view. Any help?

Ok,
There is a way so you wont have to do the 10 setups.
Run the Setup Assistant and when it asks how many
audio tracks you want, always tell it more than you
will possibly need. I use 101. I know I will probably
never use that many but they are already and waiting
in case I do need more. This way you dont have to do
anything except go to the track menu and select create
new or double click the arear below the last
track and what ever track is highlighted, a exact duplicate
will appear. Then you just click and hold on it to make it
whatever kind of track you need from the menu that appears.
This first answer takes care of the second question. Since you
dont need to go into the enviroment to hook up new tracks.
Just so you know if you click and hold on the name of the layer
Midi, instruments, clicks and ports or whatever another menu
will appear letting you choose what layer you want to go to.
This is the easy way!

Is there an easy way to add a sketch to Apple Email?

I struggled with a new-to-me sketch program that I found on an Internet website, but I was finally able to copy and paste it to an Email message. It was supposed to have been easier than that, but that was the best I could do.I then realized that I had to add a few lines and notes. That got me to thinking. By now, you'd think that there would be an easy way to add graphic material to Apple Email. Is there?
I have an iMac.

Is there an easy way to add a location map to Pages?

Hi,
Using the latest version of Pages, is there an easy way to add a location map?
Many Thanks

If you are, the easiest way I have found to do this is by going to Edit>Copy in Maps and then pasting the image in the Pages document.

Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.

After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the editing to an external drive. Is thee an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the new editing to a backup external drive. Is there an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

But the Library is not a program. I use SuperDuper, and it is smart enough to treat Finder Packages (such as the Library) as a whole bunch of files and folders, and overwrites only those that have changed. Can't CCC be set up the same way?

Lesson for this weekend: Don't trust "quick and easy"

When they say a process will be simple, quick and easy it really means it may or may not explode in your face!Started out on Friday simply wanting to write a new post for my site and update some old articles. Found out the php upload limit was too low for some of the server photos I wanted to add. No problem, just increase the limit right? Well no. Since the site was still in "Safe Mode" I couldn't change any of the advanced functions. The solution? Switch to Free Mode, billed as a simple process of a few clicks. Lets do this then! Clicked the deceptively easy "Switch to Free Mode" button prepared for a few clicks and getting on with my day. Filled out the information, set the flags I wanted, clicked go.....and it failed. That's fine, it went back to safe mode so I can just retry, right? Fails again. Third times the charm? Nope.At this...

E1200 and "Quick and Easy Setup"

My parents were trying to setup their E1200 router. We had to do a reset (using the button) since we couldn't access the router admin menu (someone had hacked/changed the password). I'm doing this remotely over the phone.
Now, when they open Internet Explorer, they are getting a"Linksys Quick and Easy Setup" screen no matter what web site they try to get to. They don't have access to the original CD to install Linksys Connect. Mom says that when she clicks on "No CD? Download the software" link, nothing happens. Looks like she's got internet, though, as there's a link to the Linksys forums, and she's seeing updates from the forums."
I don't know what this screen looks like, but isn't there some way to get past this splash screen? The computer is plugged into the router via a cable, so I'm not sure why they can't access the internet manually. Is there a way to just "disable" the "Quick and Very So Not Easy Setup" and skip right to using the internet?
Thanks.

Hi dapupster. I suggest that you let your parents do another reset. Tell them to make sure that they press down the reset button that's underneath the device ( please check the picture). Let them press it down for 30 seconds while the device is powered on. Once done, let them unplug the unit, plug it back in and try to access the setup page manually through 192.168.1.1.
If the challenge remains the same, let them unplug the router from the modem and have them access the 192.168.1.1 page with only the computer that's connected to the router. Hope the suggestions help.

Is It Possible to Clone RAID Array in a Safe and Easy Way?

Why do computer users need to clone RAID array, especially Windows Server users need to do RAID cloning? Generally speaking, they need to clone RAID array regularly in order to upgrade disk or migrate data from small disk to a larger one. A typical
example is that when the partitions on the hardware RAID runs out of space, you may prefer to rebuild the hardware RAID with larger hard disks. Then, you need to backup the data to another place, rebuild the hardware RAID and restore data again.
What a time-consuming task!
Is it possible to clone RAID array in a safe and easy way? The answer is yes and this article will introduce a RAID cloning software.

Hi jiangchunli,
Were you looking to post this question in some other forum? This looks like related to RAID and Disk upgrades.
