Always having a copy and iDisk sync issue questions...

1. Let's say I have a 50 GB hard drive and I use another internal drive which is 100 GB for Time Machine. I do know that if I run out of space Time Machine deletes older back ups (if I read that correctly). Now I'm assuming that there should ALWAYS be copy of all my files contained on the main drive am I correct? And that Time Machine wouldn't necessarily delete all copies of a file to make room for new back up?
2. Can someone clarify what the issue with iDisk syncing and Time Machine is? I was reading that Time Machine was filing up the startup disk when iDisk syncing was on (whiles they had Time Machine setup on an External). I can't quite see why Time machine would fill up a disk that it isn't assigned to back up too simply because iDisk syncing is on.

You should be using TM to backup to an external HD and not to your internal drive. Not sure what the 50GB drive is for - have you partitioned your internal drive?
Since you can't use TM to backup to iDisk there should be no issues with iDisk syncing and TM.
Briefly, TM backs up your complete system (less exclusions you can set) to an external HD every hour, then daily, then weekly and finally monthly. When your HD is full TM will start to delete the oldest backups to make room for more backups.

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.

Having trouble Audio and Video Syncing on iTune

Having trouble Audio and Video Syncing on iTune anyone know how to repair?

Here are two suggestions:
If everything is pretty much in sync until 17 minutes in, do a re sync every ten minutes. This should ensure that, even if the sync drifts by a few frames over 10 mins, the video will not seem distinctly out of sync at any time.
Another approach would be to do an overall re-sync in QuickTime Pro (which I believe is part of the FCP package).
You would need to use QTPro to trim,the video file to remove any surplus seconds of material at the beginning and end. Then open the audio file in QT Pro and trim that if necessary. It may be a slightly more complicated to do this at the beginning because, if the audio does not come in immediately, you'll need to make sure that you have the right amount of silence at the start of the file to match the video before the audio begins. This should leave you with video and audio files of the same length.
Then, in the drop menus of your QT, select and copy the audio track. Switching to the QT video file, in the drop down menus, click on add track.
Hope one or other of these May be some help to you.

TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
SOLUTION:
Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
(1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
(2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
(3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
(1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
(2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

>Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

Looking for an app that I can save what I highlight when I am reading an article without having to copy and paste

Looking for an app that I can save what I highlight when I am reading an article without having to copy and paste

I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing). I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work. When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

Disappearing Webpages and iDisk syncing errors in Leopard

(1) I am having a problem that just started today. I installed Leopard on Oct. 29, I've had it for a couple of weeks. At first, I loved it, but new problems keep popping up every few days. I have an at-home business and I run Safari, Firefox and Safari Mail simultaneously to monitor two businesses. Safari hasn't been affected, so far, but Firefox and Mail will shut down spontaneously. It always happens after I leave my computer, so I don't know what actually happens. But when I come back all I have is my desktop but no webpages are open. The only way I can get them to re-open is to Restart the computer.
(2) Another problem that started last night is with iDisk sync. I get an error box stating that certain items were unable to sync. Always different items, but all are photos that are on iWeb or .Mac Homepage and have been there since Tiger. I have not changed or altered anything in my iDisk folders since installing Leopard.
The very first problem that I noticed after installing Leopard is that webpages are opening much more slowly than with Tiger. Evenings are always the slowest but it's never been as fast as Tiger. I'm on an ethernet cord, but that didn't speed things up at all from wireless.
Any help or fixes to these glitches will be much appreciated!
These are my browsers' stats and HD info.
Firefox v. 2.0.0.9
Safari Mail 3.0 (912.1/912)
Capacity: 232.44 GB
Available: 185.26 GB

Yep, I am getting this A LOT too. Hah! ..but not always. By one if those strange acts of synchronicity and after the 6th attempt and 3rd reboot this evening it just finished syncing whilst typing this message. Typical.
But it's been very temperamental and I have had it syncing for hours with no response after only changing a small file. Pretty frustrating - can't really rely on it anymore and am thinking of giving up on the stupid thing and going back to using a USB stick again.

IDisk Sync Issues

A couple problems which I can solve:
- iDisk on Desktop has my username listed instead of 'iDisk'. In sidebar it still says 'iDisk')
- iDisk on Desktop reports incorrect size (out by huge orders of magnitude).
- some files on my own iDisk can't be deleted as I don't 'have permission' (eg. 'About your iDisk.rtf')
I've:
- reset .Mac syncing
- reset iDisk syncing (same problems)
- checked the hard disk and permissions (all OK)
- the permission on the problem files should allow me FULL access, yet it gives these errors...
Please sort out this stuff, Apple...
Thanks,
Paul Martin

A disclaimer: I don't use iDisk myself.
But WebDAV is a Web Publishing protocol. Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning.
I'm under the impression that it's what is used for iWeb publishing on .mac, I suppose that it could also be used for iDisk as well. It requires authentication to publish, usually. If they've horked something up on their end and you're unable to authenticate or your network connection isn't good, this could cause problems with that. If it uses your keychain to authenticate, and uses SSL, which I would assume that it does, I have some ideas.
I was having problems connecting to SSL sites at *.apple.com and other places since 10.5.0, the solution in this discussion: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1272177]. Based on your problem and this solution, I'm going to guess that you're on DSL, that WebDAV is what iDisk is based on, using SSL to communicate with iDisk for at least authentication, and likely moving files back and forth as well. That's a lot of guessing, and I may be wrong in any one or more places.
Most of my problems have been cleared up by this. Changing the MTU on the ethernet connection that gets you out to the internet isn't the favored solution, and may disappear if your computer sleeps and wakes back up or reboot (if you haven't hacked some system files to reinitialize this setting).

Intel and IPhone Sync issues

Some forwarded this to me. It might be relevant to some users here.
"Senior Editor, iLounge
Published: Thursday, November 5, 2009
News Category: iPhone
Intel has issued a comment concerning the iPhone sync issues some users are experiencing with certain PCs containing a specific Intel chipset. “Our leading theory is a BIOS or system configuration issue, but we are still investigating,” Intel said. The basic input/output system (BIOS) is the boot firmware run by a PC on startup, which identifies, tests, and initializes core system devices such as the graphics card, hard disk, and other hardware. As we reported earlier this week, the syncing issue appears to linked to Intel’s P55 Express chipset and its USB controller, which leaves the afflicted machines able to recognize the iPhone but unable to sync. The problem has been most prevalent among PCs running 64-bit Windows 7, but the issue has also been reported on machines running both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both Windows 7 and Vista."

Hi R@chel,
It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -

N80 display colours and pc sync issues

N80 issues
I have the latest firmware, PC suite and lifeblog. Two issues have occured.
1. With the phone slider open, colours on the display go wrong and take on a magenta hue. This is not a physical problem. If I slide it closed, the colours are still incorrect untill I respond the the keylock promt either way.
2. I can no longer syncronise with Lifeblog or PC suite. The phone simply displays 'System Error'
I have searched the forums and no answer is provided. Please help.
Regards,
Barrie

I didn't say it wasn't a hardware problem?
I said it is not a physical problem i.e. bad electrical contacts to LCD.
I have gone down the reset route after having read numerous discussions and tried the format. Even reinstalled the firmware. Still no joy
Surprise, it's an orange. Am I the only one with the screen issue? I have seen the sync issues around but haven't found a solution.

Gmail/Exchange email and calendar syncing issues

I have wiped my email accounts several times and entered in my data in the various ways as shown through the forums but my email accounts do no sync properly whether it is manual or active synced.
I read my emails in my gmail and my Microsoft exchange account and will delete or file them away but then when I check my accounts on my desktop, they are not synced as I've done so on my phone. I've also noticed that my calendars are not synced correctly either.
Could someone help me understand why and how these issues can be fixed? I'm in meetings for most of the day so I rely on my phone to keep me mobile. Was this a bad purchase?!?!

Hi JadeyMU,
How do you have your Microsoft Exchange account configured on your BlackBerry Z10? Are you using ActiveSync, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), IMAP or POP?
Thanks.
