Basic 2-part question from a guitarist...

I've been using GB for 2 years, and just upgraded by loading Logic Studio 9:
Have been able to "dial up" the amp (50's R&B) and guitar selection: (Distorted Stratocaster).
Have used the "action" to get some sound from the amp, but using the same procedure, I get ZERO sound from the Strat. file, so I have no idea how it is "supposed" to sound.(?)
QUESTIONS: Why does the volume automatically drop to zero between certain amp selections?
Why am I still unable to get any volume at all when I try to play Distorted Telecaster?
Thanks, ahead of time.

I can't answer all of your questions, but I think you may be confused about guitar related presets in Logic. There are effects presets which allow you to plug your guitar into an interface and play through those effects, and there are software instrument presets which can be played "in the box" using a MIDI keyboard or by somehow entering MIDI data into Logic. "Distorted Stratocaster" is a software instrument preset, not an effects preset. So if you're trying to play a real guitar through that, it just won't work.

Basic time machine question from a new mac owner

Hello. I have an icon on my computer that says time machine and when i select the open time machine preferences, it takes me to my set up for my airport extreme.. is this correct or is time machine something additional that i would purchase to set up?

Thanks for the star and no problem, I would recommend that you get yourself an external drive though for backup. With any computer not having a backup system is gamble and sooner or later you will lose. If you do decide on a TM backup drive it would be wise to get one that has Firewire or Firewire 800 connections (for speed) and it should be about 2x the size of your interal drive if possible. Once you connect one TM will automatically back up your system and continue to back up every hour only backing up changes and addtions. So for example if you keep music and pictures and are continually adding material to your computer those are memories that you don't want lost if your machine has a failure, TM will help prevent that from occuring. It is one of the coolest features of Leopard. Two pieces of good news, TM is simple and external hard drives are fairly inexpensive these days.

Basic Flash movie questions from a Flex coder

Hi,
I've coded several Flex applications (I'm a programmer by
trade) for the last 6 months. Now I have a new project to do with
Flash, and I'm mighty confused - as I don't know much about Flash
and its timelines, etc.
I've been given a bunch of FLV files - movies from a video
camera like you see on Youtube. I'd like to add some logic to them.
Do I create a new Flex or Flash project and somehow embed the
FLV file?
I read that the they can attach "labels" to timelines in a
movie and that I can react to the labels being triggered using
event handlers. Can I programmatically add labels to an existing
FLV movie?
So after all is said and done, I'm guessing I would compile
it using MXMLC if it is a Flex project. But what if it were a Flash
project, what is the compiler? In addition, can I simply code the
whole thing as an actionscript (.as) file and compile it using a
Flash compiler?

I wouldn't embed the files. This is OK if they don't include
audio that's synched to the video, but otherwise will be
problematic. You'll get better performance overall by linking to
the external FLV. To 'add logic' you'll need to us cue points.
These can either be added via ActionScript or embedded into the FLV
using something like Flash Video Encoder. You can use the cue
points to trigger whatever actions you require.

A question from my textbook.

I read up on a question from my textbook that has wording which confuses me... Here it is from Java Concepts by Cay Horstmann:
"Implement a combination lock class. A combination lock has a dial with 26 positions labeled A....Z. The dial needs to be set three times. If it is set to the correct combination, the lock can be opened. When the lock is closed again, the combination can be entered again. If a user sets the dial more than three times, the last three settings determine whether the lock can be opened. An important part of this exercise is to implement a suitable interface for the CombinationLock class."
Basically, I need to design a program that asks for a combination consisting of three random letters, asks the user to enter the three letters and returns a String according to the combination entered?

Don't you? And the exercise doesn't ask you to design the user interface, does it? It asks you to design Lock.

How to find all the parts used from stock for 1 machine

Dear Sap community,
I'm trying to find all the spare components that are used for 1 specific machine.
If I look in the work orders under components it only gives the components that are orderd.
But I would like to find the components that come out of stock. I asked the stockkeeper and he said he writes it all in the work orders but we can't find it back.
It would be nice to just find it on the work order but it would be easier if I could just choose a machine and then find all the spare parts used from stock.
So my question is can I find all the spare parts used for 1 machine or just find the spare parts in the work order?
Thank you for any help you can provide in this situation,

Three Part Question involving OS 9.2.1 & OS 10.4 on Wallstreet Powerbook

Please forgive me if there is already a topic on this particular issue. I looked, but was unable to find one.
NOTE: It was suggested to me that I post this question here, in large part because of a particular member who is a Wallstreet expert. So... here's hoping. :D
Last year I decided to purchase a Sonnet G4 Upgrade Card for my G3 Wallstreet Powerbook. Due to a variety of resons I won't bore you with, I ended up putting this particular project on the shelf while I was busy with other things.
Things have slowed down a bit and I want to get back to this project. One of the requirements for this card is that I be running both OS9 & OSX. Therefore, I have to install both OS's.
I have the OS 9.2.1 disk that came with my purchase of 10.1 when it first came out and the OSX v 10.4 Tiger disk that I bought last year. (FWIW I also have the OS10.1 disk and the 8.5, 8.6 & 9.1 disks.)
Now that you have the background information, here's my problem: It's been too long since I've done this.
So here's the 3-Part question:
1. Do I install both on one partition that takes up the whole 8meg disk or do I make one partition for each OS?
2. Which OS disk do I use for formatting & partitioning?
3. Which OS do I install first?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Wallstreet Other OS

eric,
1) If your HD is 8 GB, I don't believe you want to partition. As you may already know, the Wallstreet has a limitation when it comes to any version of OSX. If the HD is larger than 8 GB, then the HD must be partitioned: The first partition must be less than 8 GB and this partition is used for OSX, but this does not preclude installing 9.x. As the article below states, an 8 GB HD may be slightly larger than 8 GB depending on how the manufacturer sized it. Apple uses 1024K=1 MB vs. a vendor that may use 1000K=1 MB. Having said that, if you boot to the OSX CD and the destination HD is grayed-out, you will have to partition the HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
The problem with partitioning a small drive like yours is the wasted space...too much for OSX and not enough for 9.x or vice versa. Since I don't know what apps and files you will be using for both OSes, it is just simpler to have one volume. Both OSes can work quite nicely on the same volume; this is how apple shipped all their new Macs.
2) Either 9.x's Drive Setup or 10.x's Disk Utility can properly initialize the HD: Use the MacOS Extended Format (HFS Extended); if using Disk Utility, be sure to check the option to install the MacOS 9 HD Driver; if using Drive Setup, it is installed automatically.
3) I would install 9.x first; make sure everything is up to snuff before installing 10.x. However, either OS can be installed first.
A few suggestions...
- Since you probably have the original 8 GB HD, I would boot to your 9.x CD > open Drive Setup in the Utilities folder on the CD > go to Initialization Options > select 'zero all data' > initialize (no partition and HFS Extended). This will thoroughly clean the HD and force sparing (reallocation) of any bad blocks. After zeroing, select Test Disk and make sure it is OK. I suggest using Drive Setup since it has the Test Disk function...Disk Utility does not. Once Drive Setup is launched, Drive Setup Help is available in the menu bar.
- Once the HD has been prepped, I would boot to your OSX CD and make sure the 8 GB limit does not affect you. If it does, you will have to think about a very small partition to get under the 8 GB limit or larger partitions for each OS. As long as you are booted to OSX, you can go ahead and install it if you wish.
- If you do install OSX first, to install 9.x you must boot to the 9.x CD and select Clean Install. Also, when installing any 9.x software, boot into 9.x first...do not install when running in Classic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106294
- If you want to run your 9.1 as Classic when booted to 10.x, update it to 9.2.2; this will give you the best compatibility.
- The Wallstreet natively supports up to OSX 10.2.8, but 10.3.x and 10.4.x can run if you use XPostFacto.
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
- Since Tiger came on DVDs and not CDs (unless you used the CD-exchange program), you will not be able to install Tiger on the Wallstreet from your optical drive if you don't have a DVD-ROM drive. I installed Tiger on my Wallstreet by removing the HD, placing it in a FireWire HD enclosure, then connecting it to my iBook and installing Tiger.
- You can save HD space (about 1.5 GB) by performing a custom install of OSX; here is a sample for Tiger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
- How much installed memory do you have?

Basic wifi service question

basic wifi service question
A Windows-using friend of mine subscribes to a service from Verizon that is sort of like a cell phone for a computer - wifi service that you can access from theoretically anywhere, for something like $60 a month -
as far as I can determine, one CAN get this for Mac but ONLY if you have a 15 or 17 inch laptop with PC slots - unless I am missing something. It requires a special kyocera card.
Another company, T-Mobile, offers a similar service, but with no MAC access at all.
So my question is: is there a similar service, wi-fi access theoretically anywhere (or even just anywhere in New York City) ? Hopefully with just the regular mac airport card and not any additional special hardware?
Thanks!
Will

Hello WillFriedwald2
The kind of service your describing is probably a 3G and GPRS service.
Phone companies now offer mobile high speed connections using EDGE technology or GPRS2 and supply a 3G or GPRS PCMCIA card.
However some companies are now offering a package whereby you get high speed 3g and gprs and also wifi.
So to use this service on a laptop that has no PC card slot you need to get a 3G or GPRS2 phone that supports blue tooth then you can connect your laptop to the phone over bluetooth and therefore access high speed internet.
But if you had a desktop mac such as a G5 you would be better just getting a regular cable or dsl connection in your home and invest in a wireless router.

Basic JDBC transactional question

Hello all,
I have (what I believe) is a basic transactional JDBC question.
Here's what I want to do:
begin transaction
select a row from a table where (some condition).
that row may or may not exist.
if the row exists: update the row
else if the row does not exist, insert a new row
end transaction
I want this entire thing to be atomic .. I don't want the select to complete, then have something else come in there before the update/insert takes place.
I'm using MySQL .. I seem to remember hearing about some proprietary MySQL command which would do a SELECT + UPDATE atomically .. which would be fine, but I can't find it.
Wrapping this with a row-level lock would be fine too .. I'm just not sure how to do that in JDBC.
Thanks!
-d

By thte way, and not that it helps the orignal poster, who's using MySQL, but Oracle has a proprietary MERGE statement that does "insert or update" in one go. For example:
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*0.1)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

Questions from a debian user

Hi All,
I'd like to give Arch a try on an older laptop. Just some basic questions from a debian user:
1) I'd like to use xfce. I had trouble finding exactly what to download. Is there a boot-only.iso? I'd like to install the minimum and pull the rest off of the Web.
2) I'm using the debian testing release and enjoy its balance between stability and newer software. It also keeps me sharp and climbing up the learning curve. Should I try Arch's testing release?
3) That's about it. I'll learn the rest once I have it up and running.
Thanks Much,
ab

Miscellaneous - Questions from a Newbie

I just got my iPhone this week and some questions popped up. I know that some of them might fit better in other categories than "basics"...
1. Sync with Outlook - I was under the impression that the iPhone syncs up with Outlook but:
a) How can you mark an Outlook Appointment as "privat" so not everyone in your company who has access to you calender can read it?
b) Why are no documents synced, which are in a Calender Appointment save in Notes? (The Text in Notes will sync, but no PDFs for example...)
c) When I reply to an E-Mail, the info that an when I replyed is not saved in Outlook
d) in Outlook I can mark e-mails with priorities... this is not shown on the iPhone
e) can the Auto-reply or Out-of-the-Office message set or changed from the iPhone?
2. Mail
a) I have differnt E-Mail accounts and would like to use different signitures for each account... the is an App, but thats too complicated. Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
3. Media
a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...), but which are allready installed when i bought it
4. Sounds and Alerts
a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
b) Can I add other alert sounds (for E-mails for example)
c) How can I change sounds for different Events (New Mail, Alert...)?

c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
6. Battery
a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
Thats the first lot of question from week one... Thanks in advance for replys and the awaiting answers
Axl

I can answer some of them:
Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
No
b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
No. You can't save attachments - just view them
b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
No. The iPhone cannot be directly accessed like a hard disk. There are third-party apps that allow this to a certain degree, but you can't add Media to the iPhone via this method.
c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
Not really. There's some that may do some features, but not a complete replacement for it. What's wrong with iTunes?
d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...),
No. But you can move them to a different Home screen.
a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
http://www.question-defense.com/2009/08/15/how-to-create-photo-albums-on-your-ip hone-on-a-windows-xp-computer/
a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
Yes. Google "create iPhone ringtone" for a variety of options
a) Can I sync the iPhone over bluetooth?
No.
b) Can I use the iPhone as a modem for my laptop? how?
Yes, although it depends where you are. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574

c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
Yes. See MobileMe's "Find My iPhone" feature:
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/iphone.html
a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
Quite possibly. Battery life seems to be reduced in the latest firmware and lots of people are awaiting a fix from Apple.

Use question pool with multi-part questions?

Is it possible to use the question pool in Captivate 5 for a quiz with multi-part questions? I'd like to have a question selected from a pool, but after the learner answers the first part, they get a second question that is based on the first part.
They get a question: "Is this heart sound dangerous or safe?" Then, after answering that, they'd get the question "What is the diagnosis?" for the same sound. The first question comes from a specified pool, but the second question is based on the first question. Then, they'd go on to a new pool question.
I''d appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

I would use the XML function from Captivate 4.
- Make yourself a test quiz with two slides, one being a multiple choice.
- Export it to XML
- Open the XML File in Excel
Good point to start with is ns1:g and ns1:Source26.
Most likely you can get all your question into captivate that way.

Guitar Amp & Pedalboard roundup from a guitarist....

After receiving my copy of L9 early, I delved straight in to the Guitar Amps which was one of the main attractions to the upgrade. I thought I'd round up my thoughts for anyone who might be interested...
Firstly, in terms of ease of use, visibility and CPU it obviously integrates much better than the likes of Guitar Rig (not that there's anything wrong with GR in this respect but...): there's just a more 'hands on' feel here, and the integration is as we'd expect from a Logic plugin. Saving and creating amps is easy and will render this a good option for playing live without the occasional risk involved with 3rd party stuff.
I would probably have to say that to my ears and playing style, on the whole, the sound quality, tones and modeling was at least equal to, if not better than GR (I've not used Amplitude). I'm tempted to say better than, but I probably need more time with it. Also there are some other issues which I'll come to in a minute. On the whole though the sounds were very convincing and the range and diversity of amps is spot on. They each have the characteristics you'd expect, and are distinct enough from each other to give you a lot of choice.
I would say that the distorted amps are excellent and respond very naturally with no harsh digital characteristics (which can easily be the case with amp sims). Rock guitarists will rejoice, particularly when combining with the various new pedals on offer. However, I tend to judge an amp by its clean sounds as I think this is where the real test lies, and here the story is a little different...
I personally use clean sounds 80% of the time, and I long for that transparent ringing clean sound of the likes of Gilmour and those Fender sounds (I'm using a Strat too which is particularly suited to it). But once again I'm not yet convinced. The problem seems to be a combination of sustain (or lack of) and tube/gain power (virtual anyway).
In order to achieve those strong clean sounds from a Fender amp or a Vox you have to boost the gain on the clean channels pretty high before they break (which you can because many have dedicated clean channels). This allows the tube to get nice and warm and deliver the power needed to provide those rich sustains, whilst maintaining a clean sound.
But in Logics new amps, there are no channel selections between clean and distorted, meaning that the gain control, is your gain control for both clean and distorted. Subsequently they tend to break up at around 4-5 and become crunchy, before being quite distorted at around 6-7 and full on thereafter. I felt this didn't give a massive range to play with on the clean side and meant that they felt weak. On a decent Fender amp, you'd expect clean sustain to ring for quite a while, whereas here they would ring off quite quickly and sound a little thin.
I should probably emphasize that this is perhaps purely personal taste, as they had a good tone, but I wasn't quite able to coax the richness out of it that I know I can from certain amps (that are modeled here).
On that note, it's a slightly curious thing that they went to a lot of trouble to make the amps look authentic, but the setup and dials on each amp are not as you'd find them on the real models. In fact it appears every single amp model has exactly the same controls, including mod/reverb effects which do not exist on many amps. Quite why they did this when these effects can easily be applied elsewhere is odd, but by no means a real problem. It just means that they don't necessarily behave as you'd expect the real amps to. Dual channel options on some amps would have been a very good idea, and I don't imagine it's something they'll add at a later date.
Though I didn't spend that much time with it, Pedalboard looks pretty good indeed and it's great to see some simple yet useful effects in Logic. The quality was always good and authentic and it simplifies things from a guitarists point of view no end, particularly when you take into consideration the likes of Apogees new Gio unit. The routing options are also flexible and I didn't have any problems, and lets not forget that you don't just have to use this stuff with guitar. Not to mention the prospect (hope) that Apple can continue adding new effects with upgrades (assuming there are any!).
Lastly I was excited to see the Looper function in Mainstage but disappointed that this doesn't seem to have been integrated into Logic itself. Also it seems a little primitive at present compared to the like of Sooper Looper. Still it's something that could evolve maybe.
Anyway, I'm very happy to see this feature in Logic and it makes a lot of things easier for me and gives me live integration with Logic that I probably wouldn't have risked before. It's a tool which we should be grateful for and I didn't see coming. I look forward to playing a lot more and honing down some amps and sounds that suit me, and when you bare in mind the routing options to other things afterwards, I look forward to some interesting results!
Marks out of 10? I'd say 8 right now, but I might well change my mind after more experimentation. It could go either way, as my quest for that perfect clean sound continues...!

Nice review. I can't comment on the clean sounds so much because for me the true test of authentic modeled tone is in the warm tube sound. I own GTR3, Guitar Rig, and several of the Amplitube products and of those GTR3 is the standout in terms of extremely realistic warm tube tone. Amplitube is very close. Guitar Rig has never had a very satisfying warm tube sound to me.
In terms of how much the tones resemble actual warm tubes, I would put Amp Modeler well above Guitar Rig and just a tiny bit shy of Amplitube and GTR3. Just a tiny bit though--all three would be good choices for recording a realistic warm tone. Couldn't say the same for Guitar Amp Pro.
I agree on the oddity that the various amp models don't necessarily have the same controls as the originals. Whether that's good or bad depends on what you're going for. If I want a totally realistic Fender Twin sound from a plugin, I'm sure Amplitube will still be my first choice. If I want to wrap myself inside a warm glass tube and just live there, I'll go with GTR3. If I want to create my own tone from scratch, I would definitely start with Amp Modeler.
The effects are really fantastic, a lot more than what I was expecting. The modeling sounds spot on, even in the little details (like the way the Candy Fuzz transistor-based fuzz breaks up in the same way as my Devi Ever pedals and the 'moving tape head' sounds when adjusting the tape delay). I like how I can browse them all in one window or just look at the delays, distortions, etc. and assign which controls I want to manipulate when playing, although having immediate access to all controls for some of the more complex effects boxes would be nice.
As for ease of use here is where Amp Modeler and Pedalboard really shine. The whole approach to selecting, swapping, tweaking and routing pedals seems to me the most intuitive of any of the guitar sims I have worked with.
So I'd have to say although it won't replace Amplitube or GTR3 it is a worthy part of my amp sim arsenal. I think I'll end up creating some channel strips with GTR3 amps and the Pedalboard as my go-to setup for recording, and for everyday jamming plan to get the GiO and use MainStage, Amp Modeler and Pedalboard for that.

Why can't I post a question from my new system?

Hello All:
I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything. It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything. I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this. I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me. Can anyone explain this to me please? BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion. Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

HT201272 I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there are less movies available there than there are in my i-Tunes account. I've done some looking around at questions from others, but haven't found an answer that works for me.

I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there less movies available there than what is available in my i-Tunes library. I have 38 movies showing in my library but only 23 are showing in the Movies tab on the Apple TV. After researching this a little, there are only 23 movies showing under Purchased in the Quicklinks of my i-Tunes account. The majority of my collection are digital copy downloads that came from DVD purchases. Some of the missing movies were added in the past couple of months, the rest are a year-or-so old. I have done some looking around at questions from others, but I have not found an answer that will fix my situation. How do I update my library to get ALL of my movies to reflect that they were "Purchased"(as it says they were in their Properties)?

The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
Enjoy your cloud

Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.
