Adding/upgrading within the OSX file structure?

I want to upgrade my Dev environment, which happens to be my laptop...
The MySQL that comes with 10.4 is 4.0.21 based out of /Library/MySQL/
Apache 1.3.33 is run by /usr/sbin/httpd with config files in /etc/httpd/.
Has anyone ever tried upgrading these to these locations, as opposed to using /usr/local/? Any problems with port conflicts?
php 4.4.7 is in /usr/bin/, with supporting files and libraries... somewhere. How might I add php5 so that it is also centered out /usr/bin/? I need to be able to go back and forth.
Any ideas? Is /usr/local actually easier, in the long run?
Thanks!
David

I've always looked at this as a question of "ownership"; of preserving continued stability. Save for specific sorts of configuration and installation and related activities, dropping random stuff in the system-owned directories or deleting random stuff or otherwise messing about within the Apple directories always seemed somewhat hazardous (to me), and seemed that it could lead to immediate trouble and (worse) trouble sometime in the future.
We've all seen a few folks posting in various of the discussion forums that have gotten into trouble by deleting stuff. What's more subtle is what happens when upgrades wander by and encounter end-user changes.
(I did OS-level engineering development for another vendor for quite some years, FWIW. Unexpected changes made to the system directories by end-users or by various products could -- and variously did -- break upgrades, and could break dependencies within various products.)
If you're looking for newer bits than you have, Darwinports might be an option. "Might" being the key word here. Sometimes Darwinports has some pretty old stuff. When last I looked, the Darwinports bits were using /usr/local. That's certainly where I have my php5 bits configured.
Locally, /usr/local is used. What and how you choose with your system-related directories is up to you, of course.

Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked). the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
My questions are these:
Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
Thanks ahead of time.

Jefferson:
There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.

How/where can you change the delimiters within the output file -Urgent Pls!

Hello Experts,
When Exporting data through EAS, how/where can you change the delimiters within the output file (ie. space delimited vs tab delimited vs custom)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonu

This is where I will be shot down in flames but at least in 7.x I am unaware of any configuration option that allows you to export in anything other than space delimited.
I guess you could write a shell/perl script that could change this outside of Essbase

How important is the AVCHD file structure, anyway?

Hola everyone!
When I archived the first ~200 videos from my new hd camera (canon hf10), I was unaware that I had to archive the file structure too. So I have tons of files mts that I want to work with in FCE4. Voltaic seems way too buggy (I'm running new macbookpro w/ 4 gb of ram and a speedy dual core)...and I tried VideoPierHD (the demo version). VideoPier seems promising...but after exporting for FCE and importing into FCE, FinalCutExpress, it says" the following media files are not optimized for FCE. It is highly recommended that you recapture the media to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multistreamed playback."
What does that mean?
And, is there software that can automatically "rebuild" my folder structure for me if I do need it? FCE works well for all of my other movies that have been archived, but that first 200 or so would be nice to work with.... Thanks for your time!

So...it took some time ( a few hours for ~30 GB) but I figured out how to rebuild the folder structure for my Canon HF10 WITHOUT buying any new software....
I loaded up windows in Fusion and installed the Pixela Imagemaker software. I added my files to Imagemaker's library and then selected them to be written back to the camera. Imagemaker rebuilt the file structure in such a way that FCE imported the files with no problems whatsoever! I was ambitious at first and attempted to copy all 228 files at one time....the software just kept hanging... I found a happy medium to be about 8 gb a time to copy back to the camera.
So, for all of those who ran into the same problem, I sincerely hope that this helps out!
Blessings,
Donny

Creating a link to another sheet within the same file in Numbers

I have a spreadsheet in Numbers that contains many detail sheets with a seperate Summary sheet.
I want to be able to click on an entry (within a cell) in the summary sheet and (just like a hyperlink) it take me to the detail sheet of that name.
There is a hyperlink option within the Inspector, but it is only to goto a url or email message.
Can anyone help, or is this a request I should make for the next version?

New features means new high version num.
Version 1 for instance was updated as version 1.0.2 then 1.0.3
At this time we just got the upgrade to version 2
Some day we will get an update to version 2.0.2 with oddities corrections.
Maybe later we will get an update to version 2.0.3 with other corrections.
For new features we will have to wait for the upgrade to version 3 included in what I named NiWork '10.

Anyone know how to get a free upgrade on the OSx 10.6

I've been searching all night, and cant seemtofigure out how to get a free upgrade of the OS X 10.6! Anyone know where or how?

There is no free upgrade.
Do you currently have the 10.5.8 Combo update loaded? (if not download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update )
Then, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard.   It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.   Check by reading the specs.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
Snow Leopard is a paid upgrade by DVD not a download. To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to … http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
In UK go to Apple Store UK       Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.        Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to download and apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.

Commands within the batch file?

Is there any way to enter commands directly into the batch file which will take effect on the java application?
For example within the java application, there is a method "reload()" and to call that method you can type "reboot" and press enter in the batch file, is that possible? Thanks.

I run my java application with a file (run.bat) (windows xp).
@echo off
title Stanyer's 503 (server)
cd bin
java -Xmx1024m net.stanyer.server 43594
pauseSo basically, it runs in a cmd box.

Adding Classes to the JAR File's Classpath

Ques 1- Can I use the wildcard * symbol in Manifest file to add classes/othes jar files to the JAR File's Classpath.I have folder named - Lib . where there are many jar files.Now,do I have to add each jar file by- Class-Path: Lib/jar1-name Lib/jar2-name . Instead, can I do this- Class-Path: Lib/*.jar OR Class-Path: Lib/*.class

Ques 1- Can I use the wildcard * symbol in Manifest file to add ... other jar files ...?No. You could, however, place all your needed JARs in JavaHome/jre1.x.x/lib/ext - if this is a way for you.

Adding sound to the pages file

Hi,
Is there any way to add an audio file right after a sentence on a Pages document in a way that it stays in the same position after the it is exported to ePub?
In iBA it is posible and it simply does not move after the book is released however in Pages it is not the same.
I have attached a couple of pictures so that you get an more clear idea of this.
As you can see the audio went up.
In this case it stays where it should be.
Regards,
Jonathan M.

Your manifest should be something like this
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: main
Created-By: Oracle9i JDeveloper 9.0.2
Well, you don't actually use the hyphens. I put then there to emphasize the empty line, that is very important. Without that line the manifest will not be included in the jar file.

What metadata is saved within the Quicktime file from the Browser window?

I'm wondering if anybody could provide a list which contains the metadata that's saved in relation to the available columns in the browser window in Final Cut.
For example, I know if I change a clip's Reel name, that information is saved into the actual Quicktime file so if I bring that file into a new project, FCP's Reel column will automatically display the new Reel name.
On the flipside, information such as "Angle" doesn't seem to be saved. Curious as to what's saved and what isn't.

If you rename the clip in the Browser, that does not affect the captured file. But, if you change the reel name, it is. However, any log notes or things you add in the columns after you capture won't be included in the clip if you import that from the raw file. HOWEVER, it will be attached if you drag the clip from one project to the new one.

Adding keywords to the photo files

I know I can assign keywords in iPhoto, but they are not actually written to the photo file itself. I also know I can use iViewMedia Pro to "attach" the keywords to the files using Old Toad's tutorial.
I already have iViewMedia, but it's not the Pro version.
Can I use it to attach keywords, even though it's not the pro version, or do I have to use the pro version?
I just recently starting using keywords so I don't have too many and not too many of my photos have keywords assigned. I was reading a book on Tiger and saw that I could assign keywords with Preview. I don't guess this will allow me to assign keywords to multiple photos at one time. Does this attach the keywords to the file itself? and Will these keywords appear in iPhoto when the photo is imported?

Rayne:
iView Media does not have the capability of writing annotations back to the file. You can use iVMP in its demo mode to do that but it'll be essentially a one time (or 21 day) affair.
Preview will add keywords to the actual photo file which will be read by iPhoto when it is imported. If you add keywords after it's been imported with Preview iPhoto will not recognize them. It's a slow, tedious process with Preview, however.
Other than iVMP and Preview there are some applications, mostly professional, that can do that also. You'll just have to experiment.

"iPod could not be upgraded because the firmware file could not be found"

Can someone please help me?
I've been trying to update my iPod for a few days and I keep getting the same error message. I've even tried re-installing iTunes but that doesn't seem to help.
I really don't know what to do now, I don't even know if there is some software I should download to fix this, if it can be fixed. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I have Windows instead of a Mac?
Please help me out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Colors are changing within the same file

I am working on defining colors, but when I define CMYK values in one window, it changes in another. Why is this?
My document is set to CMYK. The color value shown for the swatch is different from the color picker.
The image below shows Different CMYK colors: The correct CMYK is 0, 76, 100, 0, as shown in the swatch on the right. The swatch was then assigned to an object. I selected the color picker and you'll notice the CMYK has changed to 0, 63, 95, 0. What is going on here?

jking,
Here is an update with good news:
It seems that the issue is caused by a corrupt folder called en_US or similar (depending on language) within the Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder, see post #7 by Jules in this thread,
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595766
so the solution should be to move or rename that folder (or the whole Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder).
You can find the folder in Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed.

Adding namespace to the source file

Hi,
We are sending xml file data from MDM to XI.
How can we add the interface namspace to the root node of the message?
Any inputs on the same would be helpful because without adding the namespace the data is not getting picked from MDM.
Regards,
Sampada

Hi!
The examples that ship with the book have been developed for BPEL Process Manager 2.x. In version 10.x the XPath expressions have to include namespaces in the steps. For example, when checking the flight ticket price, instead of:
<case condition="bpws:getVariableData('FlightResponseAA',
'confirmationData','/confirmationData/Price')
<= bpws:getVariableData('FlightResponseDA',
'confirmationData','/confirmationData/Price')">
we have to write:
<case condition="bpws:getVariableData('FlightResponseAA',
'confirmationData','/confirmationData/aln:Price')
<= bpws:getVariableData('FlightResponseDA',
'confirmationData','/confirmationData/aln:Price')">
