Another question about a VI I obtained from a NI forum.

The append_column VI attached below has two FOR LOOPs. When this VI is executed The first FOR LOOP executes 10 times as indicated by the CONSTANT 10 wired to the [COUNT] or [N]. My question falls after the first FOR LOOP is complete. How is the second FOR LOOP activated. I thought the [N] had to be wired for the FOR LOOP to execute? In this VI the second FOR LOOP doesn't have the [N] wired to anything so how does it know to execute 10 times which it does?

Hi
Actually there is a another way to set the number of times a FOR loop should run, which is illustrated by the VI in question.
Any array input to the FOR loop may used to set the number of times to run. Look at the string array input of the VI, inside the FOR loop the array is not an array anymore, but rather simple strings, this input is set to "Enable indexing". Inside the loop the individual elements of the array is automatically extracted from the array one at a time. I.e the first run of the loop extracts the first element of the array, the second run of the loop gets the second element of the array. The FOR loop will run until all the elemnts of the array has been "read".
You win twice with this design, first, You don't have to know how many times to
run the loop, it will always run as many times as there are elements in the array. Second, You don't have to index the array inside the loop with array indexing tools, it is automatically done by the FOR loop.
You enable / disable this feature by right-clicking the array connection on the loop and selsecting enable/disable array.

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

Another question about gmail

I just posted a question about adding gmail and it was answered. Now, I have another question, I added the new gmail account. It shows in the mail preferences under accounts. Incoming mail addressed to gmail comes to the Archive Box. But I still can't send mail by gmail because in the drop down menu on the email it only lists my other two accounts. Gmail is not an option. I highlighted gmail in the account list and it showed that as the account in use. But, still there was no gmail option on the email form in the sender box. How do I fix that?

You need to look at and read over these very carefully.

Another question about adding music to iPhone

Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box.
It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
Thanks.

Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

Question about moving all iTunes data from one computer to another.

I have a Windows XP. Now I have a windows 7. All of the songs from the XP are available on the new computer via a Z drive. But when I plug my iPod into the new computer it says that it is registered with a different library and asks me if I want to delete all the songs and apps and replace them from the ones on the new library. I don't want that to happen. And all of the apps on the old computer aren't available on the new one. How do I get the apps from one computer to another, and how do I sync my iPod on the new computer without erasing all high scores, app data, songs, and other information? And how do I get a song fro the new computer back to the old one?
Devin

This is the way I would normally recommend that you migrate your library from one computer to another.
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
If you have content on the new computer that you want to add to the library on the old one then copy that across via network/memory stick etc. before attempting to migrate the library again.

Yet another question about transfer from iPod to PC

I realize there have been a couple similar questions regarding this, recently, and I have read the answers and the guides within help. The trouble is this: My hard drive on my PC died!! I had to replace it. So, the new hard drive has no music library at all. I need the new library to match what's on the ipod, for further music downloads and automatically updating the ipod, etc.
I followed directions in "Copy Music to New Computer". At the point where it says to go to My Computer and double click on the iPod (while it's connected, of course) and you're supposed to see a few folders here. One of them should be a folder called iTunes. You're supposed to be able to drag it into your My Music iTunes folder. However, that folder does not appear!! Only Calendars, Contacts, and Notes folders are there. There definitley is music on the ipod. So, why is there no folder there? I can't figure any other way to get this stuff back in my library.
Please help.
I could re-import most of it ,I guess, and start over, but if I can't get the stuff that's only on my ipod, the library still won't match. And next time I download new music, and iPod updates itself from my library, I'll lose stuff.
Any ideas?

Try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Another Question about the "Notes" Folder from Kevin_Ahab

Okay, thanks to [I forget my helper last time], for his help getting my TEXT (you can not use non-Microsoft Word Documents) Documents to the "Notes" Folder in the Extras Menu of my iPod Nano White 4GB English.
Is there a limit to the size of the notes? My documents were ~8 KILObytes each, and the whole did not show up. If there is some sort of limit, tell me, or maybe I just screwed something up. Because some people have text documents over the 1 megabyte mark (I believe I have some), and if that can not be stored by iPod Nano, that is un-good.
Unless, and tell me if this hunch is correct, it is only for a "to-do" list, not for long, drawn-out documents.
Anyways, any help is GREATLY appreciated, thank-you in advanced.
~Kevin_Ahab

you can not use non-Microsoft Word Documents
You HAVE to use non-Microsoft Word documents.
They cannot be a .DOC file. They must be plain text.
Is there a limit to the size of the notes?
Yes. 4K file size. Anything over will not be displayed.
if that can not be stored by iPod Nano, that is un-good.
It can be stored on the Nano but it cannot be displayed on the Nano.

Another question about multiple copies

I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

Another question about smart playlists

Hi,
I have been experimenting a lot with smart playlists lately and have 3 now that I have set up with help from this forum so far. However, I have a question I don't see an obvious answer to. That is, I have every song in at least one playlist, and some songs are in multiple playlists. I can add a playlist to a rule, but how can I tell ITunes to create a playlist containing songs that are in more than one playlist? For example, I want ITunes to create a playlist from songs that are in more than one of the following playlists, top 25 most played, purchased, and tagged. How can I set up ITunes to do this?

The checkmark on the right side when you're editing smart playlists adds more rules. Make as many rules as there are playlist that you're looking into and make each rule say "playlist _is_ (fill in the playlist from the dropdown." If you want songs that appear in ALL the selected playlists you select match ALL of the rules at the top. If you want songs that appear in any of the playlists you've selected you have to select match ANY rule at the top. If you have three playlists and you're looking for any songs that appear on any two of the playlists, but they don't necessarily have to appear on all three, then unfortunately there's no way to do that with one smart playlist. You'd have to make a smart playlist with one saying playlist top 25 most played+purchased (match ALL) another saying with playlist top 25 most played+tagged (match ALL), another saying playlists purchased+tagged(match ALL). Then you could make a 4th smart playlists saying to add the other three playlists and you'd end up with one playlist that has only songs that appear in ANY of the other three.
Note: there's an option that appears to make subrules as if you could do the above all in one playlist but unfortunately these don't actually work the way they appear they should in my experience.

Another question about iPhones and malware/virus

Thought I would post this as a separate question.
iPhone 4s. legit (not jail broke)
I know the iOS is pretty protected against virus and malware. And that you cannot download things onto the phone other than through the app store
But what about what they call drive by downloads? Where you go to a web page and it automatically installs something without asking?

UACount wrote:
thanks all. This is so freaky to me. If the iOS is so safe, why doesnt every PC use it? And I dont mean that sarcastically
It's very safe but it also puts very severe limits on what the user can do to tweak the OS and on things that applications can do. For example, most people would balk at only being able to by applications for their computer from one approved source. In fact, a lot of people don't like that about iPhones. Some people prefer freedom to modify their device to security.
In fact, the Mac OS, which historically been less prone to viruses is adopting some of the feature of iOS.

Another question about upgrading RAM on G4 iMac

I know that there are numerous threads on this forum about upgrading RAM and I am sorry to have to open another one but, having read many of them, I am still confused!
I have unopened copies of Leopard and ILife 08 that I am planning to install on my 17-inch 1GHz G4 iMac with 768 MB of RAM (256 MB in the factory slot and 512 MB in the user accessible slot). I know that this model does not support all the functions of these programs but I am currently running Panther and the very first iLife so I think it's time for an upgrade!
Apple states that this model supports up to 1GB RAM so I have been thinking that in order to get the best out of the new software I should upgrade to 1GB RAM. My questions are:
1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
Thanks in advance.

1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
That will probably be sufficient. You could always install and run both Leopard and iLife '08 and see if you feel that they are working OK before buying any RAM.
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
Apple does not post the directions because this is not considered something that a user can do by themselves.
You can see the process at www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
That is correct. You could replace the 512 MB in the user accessible slot with 1 GB to provide a total RAM of 1.256 GB.

ANOTHER question about moving referenced files.....

After reading through most of the posts I could find, I am still not finding the answer to my question. I assume it's simple, but I'm a (second-guessing?) LR2 convert, and while I love Aperture's UI, I'm really struggling with file management.
Here's how I like to work. Insert card into reader, and copy the folder (100CANON) to my desktop. Open Aperture, import all the photos from their current location. I like to edit, keyword, rename, etc at this point.
Let's say I had 10 photos in that folder, 5 of my dog, 5 of my car. Here's where my confusion begins:
I want to select the 5 dog photos, and move their physical location to my Pictures/Dogs folder on my hard drive, as well as to my Dogs project in Aperture. I try 'Relocate Master', which moves the file to the desired path on my hard drive. Unfortunately, the thumbnail still resides in the 100CANON project.
So therein lies my question, if I want these dog photos in the Dogs project I now have to drag the thumbnails from the 100CANON project to the Dogs project.
That seems like extra steps, and I can see that causing a lot of confusion, especially when trying to sort a folder with images that need to go in several different projects. I can't help but think I'm missing something obvious - why can't I go into my 100CANON project and drag the thumbnails to the appropriate project, and have the finder path update as well?
Save the "you should let Aperture manage your files" discussion, I'm not interested in that. I need to use referenced masters.

JF wrote:
what do -you- do with your photos when you import them?
I take the CF card and Finder-copy the contents to a hard drive where they will ideally live forever. Then I eject the CF card (very important error-avoidance step). If the folder contents are not a single shoot at this point from the Finder I review the folder to see if I want the images to comprise more than one project; if so, each project is split into a separate folder with its own name.
Next I back up the folder of images which is labeled something like "101113Buckleymstrs." 101113 is 2010/Nov/13, Buckley is the job/project/event and mstrs indicates those images are the Masters. The backup folder is named "101113Buckley_mstrsbkup."
Note that at this point and forever I can Finder-search for the date or for the job/project/event or for mstrs or for bkup to find images. No Aperture involved yet. Also note that the year/month/day format at the start of the file name properly alphabetizes the folders by date on the hard drives. Most of the files on my hard drives are done that way.
Next I start to import into Aperture by reference into a new Project named "101113_Buckley" using the exact nomenclature used for "101113Buckleymstrs" except without "_mstrs" appended. If Aperture irrevocably lost the link to the masters I could Finder-search on the "101113_Buckley" and find them. At this step before import I review the pix Aperture is set to import and uncheck any obvious duds before clicking to import. The duds remain in the masters and backup folders but I do not care because hard drive capacity is cheap while my time and improved error avoidance have significant value.
I always shoot RAW+JPEG and sometimes I make two Aperture Project imports, one of the RAWs and another of the JPEGs: "101113Buckley_mstrsRAW" and "101113Buckley_mstrsJPEG."
For specific issues like "dogs" I use keywords to create Albums. Or if Buckley is a construction project, for instance, over time multiple Aperture Projects related to the Buckley construction will be created, all of which will point to a Buckley Construction Album. Other albums might be "Buckley Site Work," "Buckley Foundation," etc. Albums are very powerful and take up essentially zero space because they are comprised only of pointers.
I assume you're letting Aperture manage them? I think the issue is that I'm not ready to let Aperture take control of my library.
I manage every image very intentionally, using the tools Aperture makes available.
Do you have random folders strung out all over your Pictures folder with the various imports you've done over the years?
Folders are not random. They are sequential (which is how photos by definition always occur) and they are named identically to the corresponding Aperture Projects as noted above.
It boils down to this for me. I have preferred being able to navigate a file structure within LR to find that one image I'm after. Yes, I realize I could search for it by keyword, whatever, but sometimes I might not even remember how I categorized it. I used to do commercial interior shoots, and had them labeled by address. It's nice to traverse a folder hierarchy if you need to, and it seems like if I turn over control to Aperture I'd be giving that up.
I understand the need some folks have for what I call "film-think" or "folder-think." If you must use folders IMO best is to do it with the Masters before going into Aperture. Within Aperture IMO folder-think is debilitating to optimal use of the images database tools.
I analogize each Aperture Project to a roll of film that occurred at a point in time (an hour or a day or whatever). It gets dated and named in the hard drive archives and in Aperture. Aperture's pointers and key words allow us to create an infinite variety of Albums without relocating the hundreds of original Projects/Rolls of film.
