Accidentally ordered phones on wrong accounts, best way to switch numbers?

I stayed up late to order two AT&T iPhone 5s on the launch day and in my 3am stupor, using two computers, I accidentally swapped the accounts I ordered the phones under.
I bought a 32GB for myself and a 16GB for my wife, except I ordered my 32GB under the family plan she shares with her family and her 16GB under my individual plan.
What is the best way to activate these phones to make sure that our phones don't get any of the weird mixed up texts/iMessages and other things I've heard about happening? The guy at AT&T said to just swap the SIM cards once the phones were activated, but I'm wondering if there's a "best practice" for this sort of thing. I've been told by a friend to swap the SIMs BEFORE activation, but I don't know exactly why...
Any suggestions?

It sounds like you need to register your own phone number with its own password to create a MyVerizon account for that phone number. The Backup Assistant associated with the account owner is for that line only.

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

Best way to average numbers across rows and columns

Hello,
What is the best way to average numbers both that span across both rows and columns?
I have a table that holds student names (y-axis), tests they take (x-axis), and their scores. I need to average the student's scrore for all tests and also average the test scores for all students.
How should I go about saving the data so I can then do some maths on it?
Thanks.

So far it looks like jQuery might be the way to go. It seems to be working out quite splendedly. I would still be curious to know how somebody might do this with CF.

Accidentally I enlarge a window. Best way to return to its original size?

Sometimes I accidentally enlarge a window. What is the best way to return to its original sign?

Usually there is a place in the window where three colors of dots are, and the Green dot can make the screen larger and then the same one can make it smaller again.
Not sure if this helps...
Good luck & happy computing!

Suggestions on best way to switch b/t Analog and Digit

I Just finally got myself the Logitech 5450's Speaker which support analog and digital 5. but Im a bit of a novice when it comes to audio stuff and Im just realizing that as great as digital sound is for movies (which support it of course), that unless a games specifically supports Dolby or dts digital output (which most do not), Ive got to switch back to using an analog connection.
The two annoyances Im left with whenever I need to switch from analog to digital (or vice versa) is swap cable on the sound card (between a coax digital and the "Sub/Center channel" plug of the analog 3-set plug) and Ive got to change the output setting on my sound card to enable/disable the "Digital Output Only" setting.
Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the easiest way to manage these settings so that i can swap between these two modes as easily as possible.
Thanks in advance!!

The best way is to use Migration Assistant. When you start up your new machine you will be asked whether you want to migrate data from another machine. This involves connecting them by Firewire cable and starting the source machine in FireWire Target Disk Mode. (New updates may allow doing this via USB, but I don't know how this works).
You should do this before setting up any user accounts on the new Mac, and should choose to import the user(s) from the old one. You can choose whether to bring applications over: if it's the same version of Leopard this would probably be OK, but many people feel it's better to reinstall. In any event it won't over-write the included Apple applications such as Safari.
When you have done this you will find your Home Folder there intact, and registered programs will still be registered (unless the registration depends on the particular computer); all your data will be there, including bookmarks and contacts etc.

Best way to switch to new laptop?

Hi all. I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro that I'm experiencing a lot of lag with (iTunes stuttering, mouse delays, etc.). I've spent a fair amount of time troubleshooting and haven't come up with anything that has helped. I'm about due for a new laptop anyway and with the release of the new MacBooks I figure it's probably time to pull the trigger.
I've spent a good deal of time configuring my system and setting up Quicksilver and everything. I'd prefer to not have to do that all over again. I have a Time Machine backup and would like to use that, if possible, to move everything over to the new machine.
Given the issue with the lag, part of me thinks a clean operating system install would be best. However, unless I'm missing something, I think that would mean having to go in and install all my apps, re-config prefs, etc. I really want to avoid that.
My thought was to try to just move everything over from the Time Machine backup and see if the new hardware fixes things. Then if not, either spend more time trying to fix the issue or do a clean reinstall and bite the bullet on reconfiguring everything.
Does that sound like the best way to proceed?
P.S. Is it as easy as it seems like it might be to move all data, apps, prefs from one machine to another using Time Machine or is it more complicated?

Best way to add numbers or layout multiple pages

I have a ticket that needs to be numbered. It is small enough to go 5 up on a sheet that is 8.5 x 11.
Each ticket needs to be numbered.
I can make a master page and add all of the numbers that way and then make a pdf.
What is the best way to get the numbers on tickets that are printing 5 up on a sheet and I can print through a copier?

There are many ways to do this:
1. create single page tickets, auto-numbered, and use imposition feature of copier (if available and access to)
2. use data merge with numbered list, and produce multiple record layout to create a 5-up document
3. create a 5-up template with threaded text frames for numbering, import a numbered list that flows through document

What is the best way to switch from Trial to Purchased

I have the downloaded trial version of InDesign CS3 and will purchase it.
What is the best way to accomplish this once the credit card has been debited?
* Delete the trial version and download the purchased file from Adobe? (I would save off any pages created in the trial version of course).
* Just enter the serial number provided by Adobe into the trial version I have been using and dont bother downloading the link provided by Adobe?
* Delete the downloaded trial version and have Adobe send me the box version (taking longer obviously)? Once again, I would save the pages already created?
Thanks,
Bob

Just enter the serial number.
Note: if you only downloaded InDesign but bought the full suite, you'll
need to uninstall the trial and install the suite.

Best way of switching alertlog

In Unix
I have seen something like:
cat $AL_HOME/alert_SID.log >> $AL_HOME/logging_alert.log
rm $AL_HOME/alert_SID.log
I am not convinced this is the best way.
Wait to see other cooler ways of doing this task.

Whether you use 'rm' or 'mv', in UNIX, if the file is currently open, the inode will remain open.
This is usually not a problem. Most UNIX operating systems allow for multiple inodes to be open. And the next time the Oracle database is shutdown, the inode will be closed. And usually, most UNIX systems have a planned periodic reboot anyway, so it's not a worry.
However, if you want to prevent holding inodes open, then instead of 'mv' or 'rm' just clear the alert log by nulling out the file:
cat /dev/null>alert_sid.log
And if you want a copy of the file for posterity, copy (cp) it first before you null it out.
This usually is more of a concern with the listener log, because it is held open all the time by the listener process. The alert log is actually closed and opened only when a process needs to write to it.

What is the best way to switch between two sets of bookmarks, say 'work' and 'private'?

I want to use to sets of bookmarks, so that when I'm working, I'm not distracted by my non-work bookmarks and vice versa. For the last couple of months, I've been using two user accounts to achieve this, but it's a bit of a PITA. Links from other applications, like Thunderbird mail are opened in the default profile. This means when I'm not at work and I click a link in an email, a new window is opened with my Firefox work profile.
All I need is a trick or an extension to quickly switch bookmark sets. Or a way to switch profiles without opening a new Firefox window. Any ideas?

You can't get Firefox to work as you are explaining you want. The Default Profile can't be changed on-the-fly to the Profile you are currently using. That message "Firefox is already running ..." comes up due to you or "something" trying to open a 2nd (or subsequent) Profile, unless that '''-no-remote''' command was used to open the additional Profile. And '''-no-remote''' won't work to open the Default Profile without causing issues with how Windows works with "calling up" the Default Browser.
In response to your last statement - '''''"To separate my work and private stuff I only need to change the contents of my bookmarks bar, so I hoped there was some trick to maintain to groups of bookmarks."'''''
This extension will allow you to change the Bookmarks Toolbar folder while you are using Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/set-as-bookmarks-toolbar-folde/
I just installed that extension and verified that it still works in Firefox 35.
There is a context menu item added for '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"'''' that appears when the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down menu is used (not in the Library window or the Bookmarks Sidebar). That menu item appears when you right-click a folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder. It doesn't appear with the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder or the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder - only a folder that is in the "Bookmarks Menu".
That should "solve" wanting to have two different settings for the Bookmarks Toolbar, but the Default Profile "thing" is still an issue for what you are trying to accomplish. I don't "see a fix" for that - without resorting to a 2nd Window User Account which is what I thought you were referring to by "I've been using two user accounts to achieve this" in your initial posting.
And since the Menu Bar is hidden by default these days, you can use '''Alt''' then '''B''' to open the Bookmarks drop-down from the "revealed" Menu Bar so you can access that '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"''' menu item - without having to show the Menu Bar all the time.
''BTW, using "accounts" in lieu of "Profiles" can be confusing when discussing Firefox Profiles.''

What is the best way to switch to Thunderbird from Incredimail (old emails and address book)?

I'm feeling trapped in Incredimail. What is the best way to move over to Thunderbird? I'd like to keep my old emails, attachments and the address book as well. Is this possible?
I've seen the program "PCVARE IncrediMail Converter" at www.pcvare.com/incredimail-converter.html#dl.
Isn't there a better way (and free) to get out and away from the Incredimail trap?

Bonjour,
Open the address book window of TB. By the menu Tools / Import you can discover the possibilities and files formats accepted by TB for importing.
I don't know Incredimail, explore the menus of Incredimail to find how you can export data.

Best way to sync Numbers to iOS device?

Is there a way to sync Numbers between a Mac and iOS device that you can update on either platform and have the update sync'ed?
iCloud: have to always upload from Mac to icloud.com - useless
iTunes: save on Mac then sync to iPhone - saved version does not sync. Can't sync back to Mac
I know WebDAV is an option but I'd like to also sync when I'm away from my home network. Dropbox would be great but Numbers doesn't integrate with it.

Unless Apple decides to:
A) make the syncronization happen seamless between the two programs/OS's autmatically through iCloud in the next update to iWork
B) includes DropBox support in a future update of iWork for iOS
C) Create a better only Google Docs/Microsoft Office Live feature for their Documents in the Cloud feature...
...You're pretty much stuck. I had this same problem when editing Powerpoint documents with Keynote for iOS. You could, however, use another office tool that can sync with Dropbox. This is presuming your not working with files saved in the numbers extension, but are instead working with documents saved as Excel or Open Spreadsheet files. I like CloudOn, which is a streaming over the Internet version of Microsoft Office. You might alos look at CloudOn.

Windows XP to Windows 7 - 2 user accounts, 2 iTunes accounts - best way to transfer?

I have an old desktop running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004. Each son has his own user account, thus each has his own iTunes account and associated media files. I am moving the boys to a new desktop running Windows 7. As before, each will have his own user account. What is the simplest and most succesfull way to move their files from the old computer to the new computer without losing something or otherwise messin gthings up. Both are running iTunes 10.6.1.7.
Should I organize the libraries before moving them? How do I make sure that the file paths stay correct? I don't think Home Sharing will work with the different user accounts, will it? I have an external hard drive that I can use to transfer the files from one computer to another, if needed.

Interesting side note. I'm still playing a bit with Home Share. I have the old and new computers sitting side by side. BOTH of these computers can see MY iTunes on a third computer located else where in the house. MY computer can see User Account "A"/iTunes library "A". you would think that the new computer would be able to see BOTH librarys - mine and "A", but it can only see mine. Any idea why?
NVM...I closed and opened Home Sharing again and suddenly BOTH libraries were visible. And now MY library shows up TWICE in the OLD computer.
Let's see if they are visible when I log back in User Account A rather than as administrator.

Need to Restore as NEW phone....best way to "backup" photos

I am having trouble with my battery life. Genuis Bar helped determine best course of action was to restore IPhone and start as new and NOT restore from backup. I did just that, but noticed I could not seem to reload all my photos that were backed up on ICloud.
So, I restored again, and did restore from backup and got my pictures (and text messages) back.
Now I want to figure out where to "save"/backup my photos and to a lesser extent, my SMS messages so I can again attempt to restore the Iphone as NEW and not from a backup and then get ALL the pictures back on the phone...

Without a backup, your text messages won't be back on your iPhone. You can, however, import your photos to your computer and then sync them over from iTunes.

What is the best way to switch between multiple image buffers? AND How to synchronize saves?

Hello,
I'm trying to flip-flop between two buffers and wondering the best possible solution for this. I'd like to acquire an image in one buffer, send that off to be processed, and then while that's being processed acquire a second image. Right now I have a "Create IMAQ vi" in a for loop and have it creating 10 image locations. I'm using a non-NI framegrabber (shame I know) which makes things a bit more difficult to replicate. I have two while loops. One while loop currently grabs images from the framegrabber and places in the 10 different locations. The other while loop currently holds a case structure that does the processing. I have created a local variable that holds all of the image locations and reads those to be processed. I don't know if this is actually making things faster or if it's better to just make one image location.
I have two images attached. One image is the Grab While loop. Since I have an array of locations, I have to use a for loop and index each one out to my display. I then have a shift register to carry the image location info over to the next iteration of the while loop.
The second attachment is the bulk of the main while loop. It shows what happens to the image while it's being fully processed in the left case structure. I know it does not look like much but one of the cases (which is called by Boolean Image FFT) is a subVI that does most of the processing. I believe that is what really slows it down because of how that program is written.
The right case structure shows my saving mechanism. I have two file paths. One to save the image and the other to save the processed image. I have a sequence to make sure they save at the same time once it gets to that point.
The problem though is the following:
In the grabwhileloop.png, you can see that I have a timing to see how fast the images are being acquired. This value is approximately 60 fps (which is the rate of the Basler camera). There is a similar set up in the main loop case structure. This processes very slowly and is approximately 1.04 fps. Which would mean that the image I turn into an array in the left case structure in the main while loop image is more than likely different than the image I'm trying to save off in the right case structure since the grab is occurring at the same time. I'd like to have the processed image to save alongside the image I am processing.
Sorry for the big bulk of text. This code has come a long way as it is. If you have any suggestions on making it faster or more efficient please feel free to chime in.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the comment. I have looked into the producer/consumer architecture, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how everything will work while doing that. I have seen the example codes, and I have thought about implementing (or at least attempting to) but I'm still unconvinced that it will run that much more efficiently. There is other setup outside of the images that had to be done outside of either while loop. Also, I don't know where I would put both loops.
Last time, I attempted to put the grab while loop inside of the state machine. Things got chopped because it took so long to go through the main while loop's "acquisition" state (which is really the processing state). I needed both to simultaneously run. The grab reset every time it went to the "grab" state which is not what I wanted. The only way I can thing to have combatted this was to combine the grab and acquisition in the same state. If that were to happen, I'd take out the for loop and grab one image at a time. However, that would still probably make things even slower than they already are.
In terms of the doing something before an image is assigned in for loop, I don't need that pixel sum value to refresh too quickly. As it is already, the main while loop is slow enough as it is, so I am more afraid that everything will run too slowly the more I do. I know where the bottleneck is in my code, but I can't really see a way to "even out the flow". Even if I moved to the other architecture, I feel it'd take the same amount of time that it does already.
From my debugging, the Image local variable in the main while loop seems to refresh as quickly as the grab while loop spits it out. Granted once the main while loop finally completes, main images have gone by. This is what has to be though because it just take up so much processing power to run through the main while loop state.
As a side note, does labview have an issue with acquiring images in real-time that you have heard of? I ask because when I run the code, there is a solid white line that I'm supposed to see in my display. Every time things either time out or something, the line moves which is not supposed to happen. The line also moves every time I place my mouse cursor in the display or if I spin the mouse wheel to scroll. If I don't do either of those things, it'll eventually move on its own.
