AE and a Printer - Quick Question

A little background. I have Verizon FIOS and have successfully configured my AE for iTunes and Printer (thanks to Tesserax and Bob Timmons!).
The printer is upstairs, connected via USB to my wife's computer (Windows XP). When I tested my AE, I plugged the printer USB into the AE and it worked from my iMac downstairs.
My question: I don't think I can get my wife's computer to wirelessly print (it's a work computer and I don't have admin rights). So if the printer is plugged into the AE, she can't use it. There's probably a way to do this but I don't know how.
I recently bought this for 14 bucks: http://www.jr.com/iogear/pe/IOR_GUB211/
My plan: USB from printer to this device. Two USB's out of device - one into my AE (for my printing) and another into her computer.
Will this work? I want to make sure she maintains the print/fax/scan function (which I don't think I could get with the AE anyway.)
This board is great, so thanks for any help!

Your idea sounds like it will work. Printer connected to one end and the AE and Computer connected to the other sounds just fine.
Post back with your results.

  • Want to erase hard drive and reinstall Tiger- quick questions

    I am giving my G4 to my son in a couple of days and it now has Classic on it. My plan is to erase the whole hard drive and install just Tiger. So my thoughts are:
    1.) There are no settings I want/need to preserve. I have 4 Tiger CD's- is that the right number? I think I have them all but just want to make sure.
    2.) Do I insert CD holding down the C key and from some point when the CD loads, I chose Disk Utility and wipe the hard drive then? Are there different choices for wiping the hard drive? Like the number of passes?
    3.) And then is it just a simple matter of installing all 4 Tiger disks?
    Any other tips, tricks, advice you can give me? Tomorrow's the big day (2/1)! Thanks so much, I am a bit nervous about this......... Judy

  • Syncing Apps from Iphone to Itunes and vice versa, quick question.

    Hello, so I had a small question to ask about transferring apps from both the iphone to itunes.
    Basically, I downloaded an app from the app store ON my iphone.
    I've made a lot of progress and have a lot of data in this app.
    The(Sync app) box was never checked on my itunes, so I transferred my purchases from my iphone to my itunes, and now i've downloaded a few more apps (over 20mb) ON itunes that I want to put on my iphone.
    Thing is, when I click "sync apps" it gives me a warning saying something along the lines of "Apps in itunes will replace all in iphone, including data"
    Now, i've already transferred my purchases, so all the apps from my phone are on itunes, but if I sync, will I lose the DATA in my apps on my iphone? Or will the data remain in those apps?
    Basically, will syncing my apps replace my settings/data/progress of the apps I have on my iphone?

    There is no data in the apps themselves. Your app data is stored in the backup file iTunes creates. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    From Page 179 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iphone_userguide.pdf, "You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data."
    So, make a backup before you click the "Sync apps button. Then, you may have to restore your phone from that backup to reload the data.

  • Macbook and Logic Pro Quick question

    im sorry guys i know there is alot of topics on this but im crunched for time and i need to get a computer as soon as possible. I found a macbook with 2.0 ghz, 80 gb 5400 harddrive, im going to get 4 gigs of ram, 667 mhz system bus. (im probally going to get an external harddrive)
    potentially i can get a better one with 2.2 ghz
    Which would be better? Is the first one enough?
    I use logic to its breaking point with 40-60 tracks almost all have reverb and other effects (i make ambient music)
    thanks

    If your doing that many tracks with effects, go for the fastest cpu and the most ram you can get. Otherwise you going wind up freezing tracks a lot. You will also need a large firewire external drive running at 7200. If you don't need to move around an iMac is more bang for the buck. If you do and you have the money check out the new Macbook Pro. They're much faster, have a 17" screen option and can be purchased with a 200 gb 7200 internal HD.

  • Internet and battery - two quick questions

    I just got an iPod touch 32 gb as my first iPod and is indeed impressed despite some minor starter problems (resolved with a system reset). An odd thing though is the battery life indicator. When starting up it warns me that the battery is below 20 %, but after awhile the indicator in the right corner climbs up to show around 50 %. Is any other seeing this behavior?
    Also when connected to the internet over a nonsecure hotspot, that requirs password (the browser opens on a certain page where you have to fill in ID and password etc.), only safari works. No email, map or weather support. Is this just a limitation in the software or is there a clever solution?

    Ah France,
    Yes there are very strict laws on WiFi LANs in France (no joke).
    I only know this because my new mobile (with GPS / WiFi / Bluetooth / Infrared / 3G / etc) repeatedly explains that I should not be turning WiFi on in certain countries because of their laws regarding this, it cites France as an example where public WiFi (aka WLAN) is severely restricted.
    And yes, I know I should have waited for a new iPhone, but it'll be 12 months before it's cheap enough here in the UK.

  • Tilt and temperature: basic quick questions

    1) Is there any advantage or disadvantage to working on a Macbook Pro tilted vs. flat (parallel to the floor), in terms of laptop function or ergonomics?
    2) (Asked in a previous thread, but thought this might be better in a separate one) What's the ideal operating temperature for a Macbook Pro (in F, please)? What's the point where it becomes dangerous to the hardware?
    3) Speaking of temperature, would you recommend or have me consider any other (preferably free) monitoring software besides iStat?
    Thanks in advance!

    1. There's a small ergonomic benefit in raising the back of the machine an inch or so; it makes the upper keys on the keyboard slightly easier to use — though if you're used to typing on a level keyboard you aren't likely to find the difference very noticeable. When your machine is running at a high temperature, tilting it that way may improve the convective cooling of the bottom pan — though that's only a small portion of the overall cooling load, most of which is carried by the fans. And for there to be an improvement in convective cooling, of course the bottom pan must be exposed to unrestricted air movement. I often prop the back center of my MBP up on an old Art Gum rubber pencil eraser to provide tilt and free airflow.
    2. The ideal operating temperature for an MBP is anywhere between 100° and 200°F, the cooler the better. If your MBP goes over 200° and stays there, there's a problem. If it goes over 200°, the fans speed up, and the temperature drops back into the 160°-180° range, you're fine.
    3. No.

  • 2 Quick Question

    Hello - I'm pretty new to Motion and have 2 quick questions:
    1) If you've got a bunch of keyframes on a timeline and want to make the entire sequence longer - is there a way to just pull the last frame out and have it automatically interpolate the keyframes in between so that it keeps the same timing and everything... it just makes the whole sequence take longer?
    2) On the same timeline with a bunch of keyframes, can you apply one long Interpolation (ala "Ease Out") to the entire thing from A-Z so that the whole sequence eases out rather than just keyframe to keyframe?
    Thanks!!
    Jason

    Heya,
    1. If you're asking if you have something like the "roving" keyframes in AE...well, kinda. Keyframes on footage, shapes, generators, particles, replicators—objects that create an image—don't seem to scale. But keyframes on secondary objects like behaviors and filters do scale.
    2. Very easy: go into the Keyframe Editor and click on the animation state icon/menu for the parameter you want to change. The icon/menu is the last column after the parameter's value in the left-hand side of the Keyframe Editor. If you pick an interpolation type in that menu, it applies it to all keyframes in that particular curve. It's also the same place where you can set the before/after extrapolation, like ping-pong, progressive, etc.

  • Canon MP600 and Bluetoothe printing Help!!

    I purchased my canon MP600 printer from the apple store here in Palo Alto and I ordered the BU-20 bluetooth adapter made by Canon.
    I can print to the printer using the adapter but it is VERY slow. I ave installed latest drivers from Canon's sight and have followed all trouble shooting steps.
    My printer is only 4 feet away from my Mac Pro with nothing in beetween it and the printer.

    I went the cheap route and purchased the iogear GBU-221 bluetooth adapter for $29.99 and it works like a charm anywhere in my townhome. Through walls, upstairs/donwstairs, and it prints quickly (10sec). Not sure why you'd have problems unless there's interference coming from neighbors or any other external factor. I'd return canon's adapter and try another one?

  • Quick question (why is this happening)

    i'm working on a draggable background with boundaries and had
    a quick question for you guys that know way more than me about
    actionscript... any help will be greatly appreciated.
    i have a draggable movie clip and set up boundaries for it,
    and they all work except for when you drag the MC to the extreme
    left/bottom corner... the left boundary stops working as soon as it
    hits that direct corner..
    see for yourself:
    http://www.liquid-creative.com/testing.php
    my code is below... any thoughts?

    hm... well I think what you really need to get out of the
    dragging step is the vector of the object when the object is
    ‘released’?
    I suppose you could use the actual startDrag()/stopDrag
    methods to do the dragging work for you and then add on to it.
    Perhaps while the mouse is moving, keep track of (and update) the
    values/vector of where the mouse was 1 ‘movement unit’
    before (1 frame before I presume), then when stopDrag() is called,
    at the same spot, subtract the current vector from the vector
    stored and use the result for calculating inertia.
    (Note that I don’t have flash in front of me so this
    actually coming from my head, -someone may have a better
    method)

  • Quick question when purchasing prints through iPhoto

    Just a real quick question.
    When I select photos I want to purchase from my iphoto collection, i know it hooks into Kodak. My question is, is an account created for me on Kodak's site that keeps my collection and allows me to log in from anywhere to view photos, buy photos? Does it allow me to share albums that friends and family can view and buy photos from as well?
    I've never used the service before, but I would like to, assuming it allows me to do the above stuff I mentioned.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Create an album and drag the photos you want to print to it,  crop  them to the print dimensions, select all of the photos in the album and order your prints

  • Printing and Signing PDF Security Questions

    Hi,
    I noticed one of the PDF security features for Acrobat 8.0 is to set the printing permissions between "None", "150 DPI", and "High Resolution". However, when I print between two PDF's with 150 DPI and max resolution, I honestly can barely notice the difference between the two (the 150 DPI is "slightly" worst, i.e. letters are slightly more jaggedly). I was wondering is this normal, as I was hoping the lower setting would make the printout hard to read, not just a "quick-print" (I used a Laser Printer with 1200 DPI). I don't mean to make a big deal out of it, but I personally do not think this a very useful feature from a security standpoint.
    Secondly, I'm having trouble creating signable PDF's. I basically want the file to only allow a user to sign, and nothing else, so I set the "Changes allowed" to just "filling in forms and signing existing signature fields". But doesn't seem to work, because instead I have to set it to allow "any except extracting page". Only then can I sign the PDF, but then this also allows it to be changed (which I don't want). Is there something wrong with what I'm doing? Any help is appreciated!

    It's a very common question, and as Michael says there's not a lot you can do. Even doing the imposition yourself is unlikely to help, as most commercial raster image processors (RIPs - the software which turns your document with its fonts, graphics etc into the pattern of dots needed to physically generate the image on the printing drum) need unencrypted files.
    If the print shop has an ad-hoc workflow which supports encryption (such as printing direct from Acrobat in the way desktop users do), there are plugins for Acrobat to handle the page imposition; but it's not something native to the application and the printer will have to give you very precise directions as to what layout to create. Many print shops won't entertain that idea unless there's an overriding commercial reason, as it's too much hassle for them to deal with errors in the client plates. Worth asking, but I doubt they'll agree to it.
    Given the need to send unsecured files to an external contractor for printing, your "protection" is in the form of the contract, not digital encryption. The former can be settled in court if they break the terms, the latter can be bypassed in ten seconds and you'll probably never know. If the files are truly too sensitive to send to anyone, it's time to get yourself a laser printer - these days the machines many local print shops rely on are in essence a color photocopier, and you can rent them for about the same price.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius  work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform
    Regards
    Pran

  • Quick Question: When to use ( ) and when to use [ ] and why the ( *)

    Hi all,
    A quick question that i'm sure is very simple but is slightly confusing me. I've just started trying to learn Objective-C and am a little confused by ( ) and [ ].
    I get that you use the [ ] brackets when you want something specific from an object, i.e.
    [ textField textColor ]
    and that you use ( ) brackets for things like:
    if ( x == y) {
    But I get confused when I see things like:
    NSLog(@"some text here");
    Why does that get ( ) brackets and why is it not [ ].
    Also another point of confusion, creating methods... Why are some methods done like:
    - (void)awakeFromNib
    And others done like (with the additional "*" added):
    - (NSString *)stringvalue
    As I said, I'm sure this is very simple and obvious, but it is confusing me slightly.
    Thanks in advance!

    Adam:
    As you already know, square brackets are used to send a message to an object, so if a object like myObject implements the method -doSomething, you can call it with:
    \[myObject doSomething\];
    The other use square for brackets have is to index C-style arrays, such as:
    aValue = anArray\[10\]; // Get the 10-element of an array
    However, because C-style arrays are rarely used in Cocoa applications (use NSArray instead) you will not see this situation often.
    Parenthesis in expressions are used to group and prioritize, such as:
    x = 10 * (3 + 5); // x = 80
    If () statements use it to delimit the test expression. Same with while (). for () uses it to enclose the limits and increment statements, etc.
    The other important use of parenthesis is in calling a C function:
    result = foo(3);
    means that you are calling the function named foo with the argument 3, and storing the the return value in the variable 'result'. This is different from a message because a C function is not a method of an object. They exist independently of any objects. NSLog() is a function defined within Cocoa but it is not a method. So, you call it with the traditional C function call syntax. Cocoa defines other functions like NSStringFromRect(), which takes an NSRect as argument and returns a pointer to an NSString.
    And that leads me to your last question. Some methods return simple types, like int, float, or void (i.e. returns no value). These methods will have prototypes like:
    \- \(void\)returnNothing;
    \- (int)returnInteger;
    Other methods return pointers to types, like:
    \- (int \*)returnPointerToInteger;
    \- (void \*)returnPointerToAnything; // In obj-C one typically uses id instead of void*
    Returning whole objects from methods has problems and it is better to just return a pointer (the address in memory) instead:
    \- (NSString *)makeAString;
    The method above returns a pointer to an NSString rather than the entire object.
    Good luck with your learning,
    Juan-Pablo
