Abort/Exit 3rd party program

Hi!
I've developed a test system that flashes a device via a 3rd party flasher (hardware and software).
Sometimes the 3rd party program freezes or crashes for an unknown reason, can be hardware or software.
I communicate with the 3rd party program in a separate loop and uses the System Exec.vi to call the 3rd party program via its Command Prompt tool.
I am pretty sure, without actually having tested, that the rest of my application is responsive and running.
Question:
I could implement a timer function that after X milliseconds says "Hey! You havn't completed the flash sequence in the time I gave you, ABORT!'.
But... is there some way to kill that 3rd party program automatically when a timer indicates a problem? Without the user having to open the Task Manager and end the process manually.
Or maybe another way to solve the problem.
Best regards
Peter

What is that 3rd party device?
Funny story: I was working along side another developer that was having a simillar issue. Out of the blue the 3rd party flash programmer would just hang up. This is not desired in high volume automated production test systems. After a few days of banging on the problem they asked me for ideas. I immediately whent to the manufactures web-site saw they had a FAQ section and that FAQ#2 was "Is the xxx Device suitable for automated high volume systems?"
BINGO! one more mouse click and I found the answer. "No, this is not an anticipated use case for xxx device. Every once in a while the device becomes unresponsive requiring a system reboot to restore proper operation."
This is what I call "Other people funny" its only funny when it does not happen to you.

Hi aadeshs
This problem is on my laptop running Vista ( Business) on Adobe 10.0 , for many years I did NOT have a problem with this . No forum Pages on this.
Also i would like to know how screen readers can better interact with PDF as my wife has difficultys on some email attachments on her laptop , again there seems no easy avenue for someone in her situation surfing websites and forums for Hours maybe ok ok for sighted people, but not if you are blind & use a screenreader. No Support Help from Adobe is available.
thanks

Running a 3rd Party Program

All,
I want to be able to launch and run a 3rd party program via LabView.
Launching the program via "System Exe.vi" is simple enough.
But now I want to programatically make all the button pushes. So instead of the user having to navigate the 3rd Party GUI, it would be done via Labview.
It sounds like I would need a dll and know the entry points but if I only had the exe is it still possible?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you know the keyboard shortcuts, you could try using send keys:

Is it possible to rip itouch to pc? If not what 3rd party program would you recomend?

My pc crashed and i lost my music libary. now i have all music still on my itouch but not sure if i can rip off it. so if theres a 3rd party program that can do this what one would you use?

To copy the settings and data to your new iTunes library try this:
Make sure your computer is still authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase?

Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase like music and video editing software can?
If so, where is the price chart? I need to know these things as I am concidering purchasing Photoshop.
Thank you.

I did look at the plug-in page quickly. I noticed the free ones and the pay ones.
From using producing programs, some photo editing and some video editing programs: I'd rather use what is there and what is inside first. Then look at the extras. I am realizing how deep this can get. But if I bought PS or CS 5 or whatever: I would want to learn.
I know that some plug-ins, extras, etc are their own and are highly useful. I do understand that it can take longer but in some programs you can do what a plug-in can do though it may require more steps. I'd rather learn the program and then get the short-cuts. But again some are stand alone and highly uselful - these are what I am looking for and want to know about.
I didn't know there were so many books though, this is new information. I believe that I was told a while ago about a couple or that one comes out with a new release. I like to read and know the who, what, when, where, why and how: but most of my time should be in the program. Eg: I read my photo editing programs manuals. That was important and helped me. I need to know terms, language, some short-cuts/how-to, etc. But getting in there is way more important.
Any more information is great. Please keep it comming. I am not getting the program in the immediate future, it's the pricing issue right now and that it's way more important for me to use what I have as I am still learning big time. Plus I have to get on my camera a lot more and draw a bit more.
Thank you.

Recommended Plugins, Filters, or 3rd Party Programs for Final Cut Pro?

Can anyone recommend some of the must have plugins, filters, or 3rd party programs that you use with Final Cut Pro? Even if you do not consider it a "must have," but find it useful, I am interested in hearing about it.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Is it possible for a 3rd party program to create a list item in sharepoint online 2013?

I have limited experience with the online version of sp. I've been asked if it's possible for a 3rd party app that our company is beginning to use, to programmatically add items to a list.    I don't have any details about the program yet,
but I've been told that a batch would run at night and they would like it to create items in a SP list and pass along several fields of metadata.
Is this possible in the online version?   I know that Power Shell can do this, but is it possible for an app to get access to run a PS command?
thanks,

Yes.
There is something known as the Client Side (?) Object Model or CSOM. This allows you to create list items, lists and even sites with .Net code from a non server machine.
You could run 'classic' Server Object Model C#/VB.NET or PowerShell to do the same job and it might be easier as there's alot more material out there on how to do it. On the other hand it's probably going to make your solution more complicated and
harder to maintain over the long run.
This article introduces you to the CSOM and how to use it and is applicable to O365 as well as on-premise:

As an alternative you can look at the REST API which allows you to use web services to interact with SharePoint.

Possible to send files to 3rd party program?

I'm trying to add a "Send to Flickr Uploadr" context menu to bridge, but I've hit a snag in getting the files to the Flickr Uploader program. I've tried using openWith(), but i don't think that it does what I want it to do. But the documentation on openWith() is a bit sparse. If openWith() is indeed the wrong method to use, what is correct way, or is this even possible? Thanks. here's what i've got so far... // path to flickr uploader flickrPath = "/C/Program Files/Flickr Uploadr/Flickr Uploadr.exe"; // only have 1 instance of each function checkEl(w){ > var menuEl = MenuElement.find(w); > if (menuEl != null){ > MenuElement.remove(w); > } } // send selected files to flickr uploader function send2Flickr(f){ > fName = app.document; > for (i=0; i<fName.selections.length; i++){ > files = new Thumbnail(File(fName.selections[i].path)); > files.openWith(flickrPath); > } } // check to see if the menu items exist, and remove and recreate if they do checkEl('send2Flickr'); // right click context menu var cntCommand = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Flickr Uploadr", "at the end of Thumbnail", "send2Flickr"); cntCommand.onSelect = function (f){ > send2Flickr(); }

Not all 3rd party software will respond to the commands Bridge sends it when you do openWith. Off the top of my head I'm not sure if openWith ends up sending a BridgeTalk message or some flavor or operating system or message or event (or both), but if you can get the 3rd Party application to open the file using the Bridge UI's File > Open With menu item, then I'd expect scripting's openWith to work as well.
One workaround you can try is the command line. If the third-party software has a command line interface, then you can try using app.system() to issue the commands. It's possible (on both Mac and Windows), for example, to run the DNG Converter from Bridge this way, and this is how the ExportToJPEG's "Send To Flickr Uploadr-Mac.jsx" sample script runs some AppleScript that tells the Mac Flickr Uploadr to open files. I believe that the Windows Flickr Uploadr has a command line interface, so you might try something like this...
// Make a file Object using the known path to the uploadr
var command = "\"" + uploadr.fsName + "\" \"" + fileToUpload.fsName + "\"";
app.system( command );
Note that you usually have to quote paths to files for this to work all the time. Also note that app.system() will block your script until the command returns. Finally, when I've used app.system() on windows in the past, sometimes a command that seems to work just fine from the windows Console doesn't seem to do anything via app.system(). In those cases I've found that witting out the command to a temporary .bat file and then sending the path to the .bat file to app.system() does work.
I know that I've tried before to run Flickr Uploadr windows this way from Bridge, but it was months ago, and I don't recall all the details. My recollection is that it basically worked, but the user experience was a bit clunky because of the modal behavior and because a Console window appears on the screen as the commands run, and I had to quit the Uploadr manually after upload to move on. If you are a clever windows batch file scripter (I'm not) maybe you can workaround those issues.

3rd party programs cannot alter message tones

After 3rd Party Program

Hi,
My computer crashed and didn't back up my i-tunes. How exactly do I transfer my songs from my I-pod to my I-Tunes library after downloading all my songs on a third party program software. Please help!
Thanks so much!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Can't open PSD files using "Open With..." feature in 3rd party programs.

I use MediaPro to manage my media assets and it allows me to pass files to PE10 with an "Open With..." feature. So I can have a file selected in MediaPro, and then open that file with PE by using this feature. It worked great with PE8, but for some reason I cannot get it to work with PE10. When I use the feature, PE10 opens, but to a blank page - the actual image fails to come into the program.
I know the problem is NOT with MediaPro, since this worked flawlessly with PE8. The problem appears to be with PE10. Any ideas???
Carl...

If this is on a mac, my guess is that you are choosing the obvious file as your external editor rather than the correct one. You want this one:
The file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder is just an alias to the welcome screen.

DVD burner works but only through 3rd party programs

I have the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D and I get the disk not recognized error for blank dvds- doesn't matter the brand. Using a program called Burn x I can burn disks, but if I go over the size limit it just kicks it out. I'm trying to do a full backup of my files and really don't see why the drive doesn't work normally since it still burns using another program. I've done permissions, techtools, and reinstalled the driver but still won't mount to desktop.
Any thoughts?

oh and everything else works just fine, commercial DVds, or dvds I've already burned mount fine

Is there a way to transfer SMS and iMessages from iPhone to Mac, without paying for a 3rd party program?

Ive Googled a few site that have free programs but all charge to transfer files. ive tried "iMacsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer" and that failed. Is there an easy way???

You can take screen shots of the messages on the iPhone, and then transfer the Camera Roll screen shots to your Mac.

Any "3rd" party program for making DVD's with movies and stills....???

I think I have read every post on this or other sites about maximizing burned DVD quality after using imovie. At the end of the day I can only say this. I used proshowgold on my PC and the DVD's that were burned had MUCH better quality pictures and video. The DVD when shown on a TV was much more vivid. I did not have to lace/deinterlace/h.264/mv2/upscale/drag.. etc.etc.... you get the point. I love the mac but I want to make a movie with stills and music, hit "burn" or move to iDVD and have a decent DVD to give to friends.
I looked at FCE but that didn't seem to be the answer for movies and stills.. ?? Anything else out there...???
Any help other than "your doing it wrong" is appreciated....

As Shawn said they keep on changing things around
In an older version it looked like this [link to image|http://dvdstepbystep.com/toast.jpg]
Click on New disc on the bottom, name the disc and drag the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS File in
You can also [use this|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html] to make a .img from iDVD and DVD SP then burn to disc....
