Basic Functionality Questions - Is a computer required to serve content, etc?

I'm sorry if these are no-brainers. I ask them because I thought I had understood how an AppleTV worked, and had planned on buying one, until a friend who owns one insisted that the device functions differently than I had understood it to. I think he's wrong, but I was hoping you guys could clear up a few things for me.
1) Does an AppleTV require that I have another device (iPad, Computer running iTunes, etc) on and connected to watch content purchased from my iTunes account, or will it stream directly from the 'net?
2) If I've converted video content from a source other than the iTunes store (for example, ripped a DVD and imported it to my computer's iTunes library) can I stream it to my AppleTV (assuming the source computer is on?)
3) Assuming #2 is true, the content in question must be served by a computer - ie, I can't move it to the cloud, and viewing it is dependant on having my computer on and running. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance guys!

1- it will stream purchased items such as TV shows, not music unless you have the iTunes match subscription. You need another device if you want to do "home sharing" (share your iTunes library with other devices, If you have already bought movies, music, etc.)
2- You will have to import it to iTunes if you want to see it on your ATV.
3- Yes, you need to have a computer act as a server with iTunes running all the time...

Very Basic Functions Question

Hi,
apologies for this being a very basic question, but I rarely
use Flash. About once a year, however, I am called upon to do some
sort of (usually very simple) Flash-based project for the students
I assist. This time it's a simple random slideshow.
The setup is this:
* I have a movieClip called 'slides_MC' containing all the
slide photos, on consecutive frames.
* This movieClip is placed inside another movieclip named
slideshowRand_MC.
This is given an instance name of topslide_mc, and faded up
and down with alpha keyframes.
The idea is that, when the slides mc is faded right down,
some Actionscript causes the slides movie to jump to, and stop
playing on a random frame, so random slides are faded up, then down
again, then swapped.
I need to apply some actionscript to particular keyframes so
that the swap is performed at the correct time.
This is my attempt at a reusable function to do the swapping.
It's placed in a keyframe on the root timeline:
// Go to and stop at random frame in slides movieclip
function goRandom(mc) {
// Number of slides in slides movieclip
var slides = 22;
// Random number between 1 and number of frames in slides
movieclip
var randFrame = Math.ceil(Math.random() * slides);
mc.goToAndStop("slide_" & randFrame);
This function is called from keyframes in slideshowRand_MC:
_root.goRandom(this.slideshow_rand_mc.topslide_mc);
I know this is really basic stuff, but can anyone tell me why
this isn't working.
I've tried adding a breakpoint in the goRandom function, but
it doesn't look like it ever gets called.
Any assistance very gratefully accepted.
Alex

Hi Bob, thanks for getting back to me.

There's a typo in that line - if it's in your code, it won't
work!
Ah, true. The typo actually happened when I was re-writing
the code in post. The actual code in the movie is
_root.goRandom(this.topslide_mc);
This is attached to a keyframe of the container movie-clip
containing the slides MC.
I've put the fla file on our server.
slideshow_random.fla.zip
If you, or someone else could download it and help me find
out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be ever-so grateful. I'm sure it's
something really obvious. Without being very familiar with Flash
and Actionscript, it's hard to explain things, and much easier to
show you the actual Flash file.
The 2 functions are on a keyframe on frame 1 of the root
timeline. The 'goRandom' function is supposed to be called from a
keyframe in 'slideshowRand_MC'. I envisaged calling the random
pause function from another keyframe in the same movieclip.
Thanks again,
Alex

Very basic function question from numbers virgin

I have been working on a numbers table sent to me and adjusting data, need to calculate column totals but the function key on the toolbar is not 'highlighted' so I can't click on it to caluculate the sum. can't work out how to do this or find another way round it. don't want to create a new table. any advice? thanks

photogogirl, if you haven't given up yet, here is another suggestion.
Looks like that toolbar menu named Function also is not available if you have a range of cells selected that include a footer cell. The person that sent the file to you may have activated the footer row. If so, and since you said you are trying to sum columns, I would select ONLY the footer cell in the column you want to sum and then select Sum from the toolbar Function menu. Also, notice as you select single cells, you can see the underlying formula (if it exists in the selected cell) right under the toolbar. You can select any single cell and type the formula there directly if you like.

Basic Function Questions

i feel like i'm losing my mind.
working for the first time using stp with a fcp project file. i sent out my whole sequence in a multi track soundtrack pro project from final cut, and now i'm trying to edit sound and add sound effects. i never thought this would be the most complicated sound editing program i've ever seen.
1. cross fades
i know how to add them, but i want to change the TYPE of cross fade. how do i do this? i don't want it to be a curved rate, i want it to be a straight linear cross fade.
2. effects
so track A1 &A2 have the two tracks of audio diolage in my video. in stp, i want to adjust the eq on just one clip of audio. how the **** do i do this? i double click on the track and then it opens it up in that waveform editor and i add the effect, but when i go back to the project file to see all my audio tracks and i play it back, the effect isn't on. then i try just single clicking on the one audio clip and i apply an eq effect and it works, but i find out it's been applied to the entire track A1 & A2!! i don't want it on everything! just that one clip! and if you say that i have to apply the effect to a bus track and then direct the one clip to that bus that's insane. i'm going to have aboutu 40 bus tracks for all the different eq'ing i need to do on all these tracks
3. how the **** do you close a waveform track pannel on the top of the window! i have my .stmp window open, and when i double click on a audio clip and it opens up a waveform window, i can't ever close it! there is not option to do so! what do i do!!
4. how to i adjust the audio levels for one audio clip? i adjust it and find out that it secretly applies keyframes to that track, but then those keyframes get messed up if i apply audio level changes to more than one clip on that track and then they're all over the place, and instead of staying at -6db like i tell it to, it gradually starts to raise up to -5.8db or some random **** like that

Inspire 5.1 5600 LOOSE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY - Similtaniouse 5.1 and PCM "computer" sound

I have XP Pro SP2, Audigy DE and just bought Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 to upgrade from my cheaper analog 5.1 speakers that sounded OK and worked fine. Using S\C Digital out to din to din to din. (Their is no option for connecting SC anolouge outputs)
1) Is their any way to hear similtanious Dolby Digital and PCM Audio ie System Sounds?
2) Is their any way to connect SC anolouge outputs to the 5600 for 5.1 (to fix above)?
3) Is their any way to have digital and anolouge outputs on the Sound Card working at the same time?
I feel ripped of. I spend a fair bit of money, and loose the basic functionality of being able to hear all computer generated sound similtaniously! Thats going backwards, not forwards. I researched these speakers a lot, and no where was I told of this inacuseable situation!

HT201263 my iPhone is disabled. since im traveling i have no access to my computer to restore the phone. What can I do to at least use the phone again with it's basic functions (make calls, send and receive sms)?

My iphone is disabled and I'm traveling. What can I do to reset it to at least use its basic functions (make calls & send / receive sms)?

There is nothing you can do without doing a restore via the recovery mode. Since you have iOS 7, if you activated Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud, you can login to your iCloud account, https://www.icloud.com from a computer, and then do a remote wipe of the iPhone...that will return it to factory condition and all contents will be erased.

Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 - LOSE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY?

Hi all,
We will see if this gets edited. This is in addition to the original message, as I have no answers, just more questions. I have bought Creative products all my life, Ill leave it up to you in deciding wether I will in the future. If anyone actually knows a way around these problems, please let me know. Im sure I wont have a reply from Creative, but I will live in hope that I get a personally deli'vered set of speakers that adds to my options, not diminishes them!.
Well, I have XP Pro SP2, Audigy DE and just bought Inspire 5.1 Digital 5600 to upgrade from my cheaper analog 5.1 speakers that sounded OK and worked fine. I read all about the 5600's and thought - better sound, heaps of connection options etc. Their NOT exactly cheap! The point I would like to make is that I had good 5.1 sound, and now I have better sound AND A WHOLE LOT OF HASSLES IN RETURN FOR SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY. WHAT A MISTAKE.
I have THE ONLY AVAILABLE 5.1 connection from my Sound Card to the 5600 speakers, 3.5 mm 4 pole jack to din to din to speakers. (thats simple isnt it!!!) I have all the latest drivers etc, etc, etc.
NOW ...
1) If Im listening to 5.1 ie DVD, You dont get any system OR ANY OTHER sound? (Thats great for when your on the Net and need to know whats happening, isnt it's)
2) So I figure, well Ill connect the SC to the decoder using analog cables, SORRY, YOU CANT DO that unless you want to lose a channell? (for the sakes of one more center\sub jack or using all the pins in the DIN plug.)
3) Well, Ill set the mixer to do AC3 Decode to try and get back any other sound besides 5.1 Dolby, SORRY, that doent work either ... No matter how you have the decoder\Amp set up, you lose the center channel, ie, no voices?!!
4) Well Ill use the passthrough feature as it explaines in the book, SORRY, IT DOENT WORK EITHER, its meant to pass the Dolby Digital straight through to the respective channels, IT DOESNT? You lose the rear channels. I have tried every combination of everything, and you cant get ANY OTHER SOUND when you are playing Dolby Digital 5.1. so you have a "on board decoder" that NOW DOENST WORK and cant be used?
5) Why buy another 5.1 Dolby decoder when your Sound Card\Software already does it ... well I wanted to be able to use the other anolog Sound Card outputs ... SORRY, YOU CANT. When you enable the digital output only in Surround Mixer, IT DISABLES ALL THE OTHER SC output JACKS as well. GREAT!!! so you cant even feed an anolog signal in to it to try and get the "other" sound back that way? THEIR IS NO WAY!
6) All the controls .. ie... Bass Redirection, AC3 Decode, Sub Volume, Center Volume, Balance and fade controls all DONT WORK at ALL when playing 5., and the bass Redirection works backwards whith standard PCM Sound!?
7) The TEST SPEAKER function in Surround Mixer is now useless except for standard stereo. (no wonder they put a test function on the remote!)?
8) Their is bad initial distortion when you ie, fast forward, start, stop ANY Dolby Digital source?
(10 THIS IS THE BEST ONE - They DONT TELL YOU ANYWHERE about any of this stuff?, Unless Im stupid, I dont feel these speakers are fit for their purpose, is that not a condition in the Trade Practises Act? Creative, please knock on my door! and PLEASE DONT send me an Email with a "reload the drivers" pre-formatted Email, I couldnt bear the added stress!
11) How come you cant plug the Audigy straight in to the 5600 decoder with a mono cable like it says you can with every other Amp\Decoder you can buy, then they could have used the other DIN Plug Pins for anolog Audio as well and at least reatained similtanious multi sound format.
I just dont get it! Why does it have to Dolby Decode a Dolby Decoded Signal?
12) etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc.,etc. etc., etc. ....
I could write 5 pages of all the other area where you go BACKWARDS, but I have better things to do with my time, all from a relatively expensive purchase. SO what have I ended up with ... Sure, these speakers sound OK, a bit better than my old $45 speakers, but I end up hearing one type of sound from my computer at a time with NO WAY to remedy it (inexcusable) and a second Dolby Digital decoder that I didnt need in the beginning that removes the most basic functions and I also lose the analog outputs on the sound card. Also the Dolby Digital output is about 40% quieter than "standard" PCM sound! And dont forget, be carefull, dont turn them up too loud, or you might blow the fuse and have to spend a fortune and be without speakers for weeks\months while a Technician has to to replace the fuse at great cost! (thats what they tell you in the book) And dont leave that massi've 2.5 amp power supply on all the time, that will even send you more broke trying to pay the power bill.
I have never bought a product before that removes options and useability, your money is meant to buy you these things, isnt it's? Hopefully Im just an idiot and someone will tell me this nightmare is over. By reading the other posts, I can only assume that any real posts like this are nuked in seconds, so you end up with a whole lot of useless dribble that doesnt help anyone, just wastes more of their time for spending their hard earned money. Creative, you should be ashamed of yourself, especially after such a good past record. I feel for all the stress the majority of posters have and are going through to this day. Please post this message un-edited, as it will save me having to publish it elsewhere. I do not believe it is defamitory, it is just the truth.
VERY DISSAPOINTED ... Rob ... and waiting for the Creative knock on the door!

Hi,
Your scenario is Split message .. you can avoid BPM if you are in SP14 with the RB_Split functionality.
if you running less than Sp14 try out this scenario with Multimapping and use in the BPM.

I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

Question: I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop. On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared. I am lost. Help.

It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

Basic functions and functionality missing from Safari 4.0

Just trying to move to Safari from Firefox. The Develop tools cinched the move (hidden by default! Huh?).
After all the years, I cannot believe Apple still haven't fixed some basic requirements of a web browser.
1. Cannot find anything similar to Live Bookmarks (for viewing RSS feed headings). This makes RSS bookmarks far less useful (more or less useless, in fact, as you may as well have an ordinary bookmark and visit the site).
2. All new links "seem" to open in current tab. Making tabs more or less useless. What's the point of having them if all new links open in current tab by default? Only way I can open in new tab is by holding down Command EACH time I click a link. Doh! Who thought of that default? A simple option that asks you if you want to open ALL new links in a new tab OR window is the expected behaviour -- to override, hold down a key.
3. Cannot reorder bookmarks alphabetically (unless I have overlooked option). Couldn't do that waaaay back when Safari came out and still cannot years later.
4. Adding bookmark opens bookmarks bar. Have you seen my bookmarks bar? Anything above 10-20 and the list takes years to find a target folder. While I can drag URL into a top level folder on the bookmarks bar, what if I want to add it a subfolder? Add 500 bookmarks and then try scrolling the list.
5. Cannot open bookmarks and view a page at the same time! At times you just need something simple. While cover flow may be useful "sometimes," here it just gets in the way. Why not have two versions? Simple (view bookmarks and page at same time); Complex (a link that navigates away from current page and shows bookmarks with cover flow)?
Apple, please fix ASAP. What's the point of having fastest browser if basic functions are overlooked (some overlooked since Safari first came out)?

Post you report in Apple Bug Report. This is only a user to user forum. But at the same time I think some of your issues are easily addressed and will be shortly by other users.
Cheers

Basic iPhoto questions:

I have some Basic iPhoto questions before I start using the program:
- does iPhoto apply any compression or change images in any way when they
are imported?
- after images are imported, can the original source folder of images be deleted off of the mac?
- can Quicktime files exported from iPhoto be viewed on a Windows computer?
- can iPhoto handle large resolution images that might be as large as 8-15mb each? does it display them quick? are there any known file size issues?
Thanks!!!!

kat.
Is there a way to use iPhoto on a network so other users can read and possibly write to an iPhoto library on a networked mac?
iPhoto is a consumer level photo organiser, not a server. It's possible to share photos but libraries are very difficult and fraught with the danger of database corruption. Some have reported success.
Is it possible to password protect or secure certain images in the library so they can not be seen by anyone?
No. The best I can suggest there is to create a second library and store it in a secure area like a protected dmg. But remember, you can only have one library open at a time.
After photos are deleted from iPhoto, are there any remaining traces or cached files anywhere other than the trash
If you delete photos from iPhoto and empty the iPhoto trash then the pics are removed from the Finder as well. They remain as findable as any other deleted file from that point, which is, very, if the searcher in knowledgeable.

SD & FI BI functional Questions

Hi Experts,
I need to ask some questions to customer on SD & FI functional related questions for BI Analytical reports..
Already cutomer implemented Data ware house Informatica with congnos reporting tool.
right now they want to implement BI.
please any one can share on what type functional questions could ask the customer.
Advance Thanks,
Bala.

Hi,
A few more pointers.
Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
Understand the Business process data flow if any.
Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW (i. e need for ODS if any)
Understand the system landscape.
Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK

Sumifs function question

Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
=SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
Thank you.
Alex

I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of conditions and add them up
