Best way to switching out 7300 to X1900XT

I just got my 2.66 with the 7300 card but have decided I'd prefer the X1900XT for it's improved performance with Apeture.
I have ordered a X1900XT from EBay that was purchased from Apple direct, so I'm not worried about the firmware. What I am interested in knowing is whether I power down and switch the cards, or whether it is better to bring up the system with both cards installed. Are the X1900 drivers already present on the HD, or do I need to do anything special to make the correct drivers ready for use?
Thanks,
Graham

Hi,
It's just plug-n-play. Power Computer down and before removing the power cable touch the computer to discharge static. Don't move around too much while doing the swap. Don't forget to plug the extra power cable that comes with the card to the MoBo
It's a pretty tight fit; You have to slide the back of the card in the plastic slot.
If you want to leave the 7300 in the machine you can put it in PCIe slot 2 or 4. (4 is better)

i am giving away a computer, what is the best way to wipe out data prior to depature

Did the Mac come with two grey disks when new? If so, use disk one to erase the drive using Disk Utility and then re-install the OS from the same disk. Once installed, quit and when the new owner boots they can set it up as a new out-of-the-box Mac when they boot it up. The grey disks need to be passed on with the computer.
If you need detailed instructions on how to erase and re-install please post back.
If the Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion installed the above process can be done using the Recovery HD as since Lion no restore disks are supplied with the Mac.
The terms of the licence state that a Mac should be sold/passed on with the OS installed that was on the machine when new (or words to that effect).

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

Best way to fade out multiple tracks at the same level

Is there a best way to fade out multiple tracks at the end of a song? I have read the manual and understand fading "A" track, but not if my song is ending and I want to fade out all tracks equally.
I thought I could export the file as a wav or MP3 (like I would do if I was fading out an Apple loop), then bring it back in and fade the track I import it to, but wanted to know if anyone else had any tips or tricks they use.
Thanks

What is the best way to switch between multiple image buffers? AND How to synchronize saves?

Hello,
I'm trying to flip-flop between two buffers and wondering the best possible solution for this. I'd like to acquire an image in one buffer, send that off to be processed, and then while that's being processed acquire a second image. Right now I have a "Create IMAQ vi" in a for loop and have it creating 10 image locations. I'm using a non-NI framegrabber (shame I know) which makes things a bit more difficult to replicate. I have two while loops. One while loop currently grabs images from the framegrabber and places in the 10 different locations. The other while loop currently holds a case structure that does the processing. I have created a local variable that holds all of the image locations and reads those to be processed. I don't know if this is actually making things faster or if it's better to just make one image location.
I have two images attached. One image is the Grab While loop. Since I have an array of locations, I have to use a for loop and index each one out to my display. I then have a shift register to carry the image location info over to the next iteration of the while loop.
The second attachment is the bulk of the main while loop. It shows what happens to the image while it's being fully processed in the left case structure. I know it does not look like much but one of the cases (which is called by Boolean Image FFT) is a subVI that does most of the processing. I believe that is what really slows it down because of how that program is written.
The right case structure shows my saving mechanism. I have two file paths. One to save the image and the other to save the processed image. I have a sequence to make sure they save at the same time once it gets to that point.
The problem though is the following:
In the grabwhileloop.png, you can see that I have a timing to see how fast the images are being acquired. This value is approximately 60 fps (which is the rate of the Basler camera). There is a similar set up in the main loop case structure. This processes very slowly and is approximately 1.04 fps. Which would mean that the image I turn into an array in the left case structure in the main while loop image is more than likely different than the image I'm trying to save off in the right case structure since the grab is occurring at the same time. I'd like to have the processed image to save alongside the image I am processing.
Sorry for the big bulk of text. This code has come a long way as it is. If you have any suggestions on making it faster or more efficient please feel free to chime in.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for the comment. I have looked into the producer/consumer architecture, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how everything will work while doing that. I have seen the example codes, and I have thought about implementing (or at least attempting to) but I'm still unconvinced that it will run that much more efficiently. There is other setup outside of the images that had to be done outside of either while loop. Also, I don't know where I would put both loops.
Last time, I attempted to put the grab while loop inside of the state machine. Things got chopped because it took so long to go through the main while loop's "acquisition" state (which is really the processing state). I needed both to simultaneously run. The grab reset every time it went to the "grab" state which is not what I wanted. The only way I can thing to have combatted this was to combine the grab and acquisition in the same state. If that were to happen, I'd take out the for loop and grab one image at a time. However, that would still probably make things even slower than they already are.
In terms of the doing something before an image is assigned in for loop, I don't need that pixel sum value to refresh too quickly. As it is already, the main while loop is slow enough as it is, so I am more afraid that everything will run too slowly the more I do. I know where the bottleneck is in my code, but I can't really see a way to "even out the flow". Even if I moved to the other architecture, I feel it'd take the same amount of time that it does already.
From my debugging, the Image local variable in the main while loop seems to refresh as quickly as the grab while loop spits it out. Granted once the main while loop finally completes, main images have gone by. This is what has to be though because it just take up so much processing power to run through the main while loop state.
As a side note, does labview have an issue with acquiring images in real-time that you have heard of? I ask because when I run the code, there is a solid white line that I'm supposed to see in my display. Every time things either time out or something, the line moves which is not supposed to happen. The line also moves every time I place my mouse cursor in the display or if I spin the mouse wheel to scroll. If I don't do either of those things, it'll eventually move on its own.

What is the best way to lay out color-coded Excel data in InDesign?

I’ve been away from layout for some time. I now need to lay out color-coded Excel data (3 columns, 200 rows) in InDesign 5.5. The data will need to be in alpha order and each row will be color coded, with a color key at the top of the page. What is the best way to lay this out? Should I use the table tool and create a new style for each color that I need to use?
Thanks for your help.

I think this will work in CS3.
Start off by inserting Styles of WEEK, Mon to Friday (as per left)
Set the Week No. to Bullets and Numbering and insert as per screen shot
Do the same for Days Monday through to Sunday
Also set up Monday style NEXT STYLE to be Tuesday
When you get to Sunday - loop the Styles back to WEEK style.
Then as per first screen shot you just have to insert RETURNS all the way down to initiate the style.

Best way to clean out Mac

I am getting a new MacBook Pro this week and I wanted to give my old one to my son. Once I transfer all of my data to the new computer, I would like to clean everything but the programs out of the old Mac before I give it to him. The old one has been a bit buggy of late. What is the best way to do this so that he can start over with a clean slate?

Hi DKK,
John gives some great advice, however you'll lose the installed programs. There's a good chance, though that you'll resolve the sluggishness. You can always reinstall the programs afterwards.
If you do go the route of an Archive & Install (assuming you're reinstall Leopard and not Snow Leopard) while you won't lose the installed programs there's a good chance that they may not work properly and you'll need to reinstall them anyways.

Best way to lay out this scrapbook

I need some advice about the best way to go about this. I have a client who basically want me to publish her scrapbook. It's full of all sorts of color and b/w photos, drawings, newspaper clippings, you name it. I was thinking I should scan each page (8 1/2 x 11) as a separate pdf, then place each pdf as a separate page in the ID document. After about 10 pages or so the ID document is so bogged down that it takes half a minute just to nudge a frame. I hate to think of what things would be at 200 pages. Even if I divided the book up into 20 or 40 separate documents then reassembled them as a book, it would probably be so unwieldy that I wouldn't even be able to scroll the pages. Once this is done it has to be submitted to the printer as a pdf.

What the client has done is lay out her original photos on a piece of 8 1/2 x 11, xerox it, then type captions next to the xeroxed photos, then attach the original photos over the top of the xeroxes. Two pages are then placed back to back in a clear plastic sleeve, which, along with another 199 sleeves, goes into a ring binder. I’m laying the book in ID (CS3, btw) because I want to add page numbers and some of the pages need to be centered or otherwise moved around so that I can maintain the printer’s minimal margins (the typing and placement of the illustrations on the original page sometimes goes to the very edge). Also, as I scan I'm trying to cut out toner shadows and other blemishes on the original pages. I’ve been scanning using my scanner’s software (Epson Perfection V200). The setting for the image quality of the outputted scan is 24-bit color at 300 dpi (pages with just text are scanned as black & white, 300 dpi, pages with only black & white photos are scanned as grayscale). If I want to do more editing (like cleaning up more blemishes) I open the pdfs in Photoshop. That way I can also change the color mode to CMYK before I save the file. Should I be scanning directly into Photoshop, then? I don’t scale the pdfs in ID because I know that can affect the resolution. I’ll try making tifs instead of pdfs.

Best way to clean out a hard drive.

I have a A505 S605 Satelite laptop with a hard drive full of junk. I would like to start over by cleaning out the hard drive completely. After the hard drive is cleaned out, I will install everything using the recovery disks that I got from the Geek Squad when I bought the computer.
What is the best way to get the hard drive wiped out? Thank you for your help.

Just back up the data you need to keep onto a usb thumb drive or usb external hard drive then run the Recovery Disk to restore the system to it's factory out of box state. IT will wipe the drive as part of the process leaving your system exactly as it came to from the factory. You don't need to delete anything first.

Suggestions on best way to switch b/t Analog and Digit

I Just finally got myself the Logitech 5450's Speaker which support analog and digital 5. but Im a bit of a novice when it comes to audio stuff and Im just realizing that as great as digital sound is for movies (which support it of course), that unless a games specifically supports Dolby or dts digital output (which most do not), Ive got to switch back to using an analog connection.
The two annoyances Im left with whenever I need to switch from analog to digital (or vice versa) is swap cable on the sound card (between a coax digital and the "Sub/Center channel" plug of the analog 3-set plug) and Ive got to change the output setting on my sound card to enable/disable the "Digital Output Only" setting.
Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the easiest way to manage these settings so that i can swap between these two modes as easily as possible.
Thanks in advance!!

The best way is to use Migration Assistant. When you start up your new machine you will be asked whether you want to migrate data from another machine. This involves connecting them by Firewire cable and starting the source machine in FireWire Target Disk Mode. (New updates may allow doing this via USB, but I don't know how this works).
You should do this before setting up any user accounts on the new Mac, and should choose to import the user(s) from the old one. You can choose whether to bring applications over: if it's the same version of Leopard this would probably be OK, but many people feel it's better to reinstall. In any event it won't over-write the included Apple applications such as Safari.
When you have done this you will find your Home Folder there intact, and registered programs will still be registered (unless the registration depends on the particular computer); all your data will be there, including bookmarks and contacts etc.

Best way of switching alertlog

In Unix
I have seen something like:
cat $AL_HOME/alert_SID.log >> $AL_HOME/logging_alert.log
rm $AL_HOME/alert_SID.log
I am not convinced this is the best way.
Wait to see other cooler ways of doing this task.

Whether you use 'rm' or 'mv', in UNIX, if the file is currently open, the inode will remain open.
This is usually not a problem. Most UNIX operating systems allow for multiple inodes to be open. And the next time the Oracle database is shutdown, the inode will be closed. And usually, most UNIX systems have a planned periodic reboot anyway, so it's not a worry.
However, if you want to prevent holding inodes open, then instead of 'mv' or 'rm' just clear the alert log by nulling out the file:
cat /dev/null>alert_sid.log
And if you want a copy of the file for posterity, copy (cp) it first before you null it out.
This usually is more of a concern with the listener log, because it is held open all the time by the listener process. The alert log is actually closed and opened only when a process needs to write to it.

What is the best way to send out mass emails on an iMac?

We have been using a different system and sending out emails on a PC. I now need to send out a newsletter to our database and, having used one of the templates on the iMac need to send it out on my system. Can anyone advise on the best way to do this? I have updated the iMac to OS Yosemite 10.10.1 version

Create a group contact in Apple Contacts.
For examples, you create a group called business with as many email addresses inside. On your Apple Mail, you just type business, you will be able to send out the group emails out!!!

Best way to process out-of-gamut colors

Hi,
My usual colorspace whilst processing RAW images is Srgb, mainly because I print most shots & my printer requires Srgb for this.
The problem is that I experience "out-of-gamut" warnings within ACR and would appreciate some advice on the best way to deal with this - my options seem to be:
continue in Srgb & allow color to be clipped
swap to a wider colorspace (lab/Argb), process the image & tthen convert to Srgb for print
Ultimately though I need to output in Srgb so does it make any difference processing in the wider space as I guess the out-of-gamut color is going to be clipped at some stage anyway ?
thanks for any advice
Simon

What printer are you using? Printers are nonlinear devices and as far as I know, no printer has sRGB as its native color space. Some printing services such as those offered by Walgreen and Walmart expect the image to be in sRGB and then convert behind the scenes to the native printer space. Walgreen often uses the Fuji Frontier and expects sRGB input. Some labs that cater to serious users will give you profiles for the Frontier. Some Costco stores use the Frontier and profiles are available on DryCreek.com. As Mylenium has pointed out in general for printers, the gamut of the Frontier is smaller than sRGB. However, their shapes are different and many colors in the sRGB gamut are not in the Frontier gamut. Conversely, a few colors in the printer gamut are outside of the Frontier gamut.
Here is a 3D gamut plot of sRGB in solid color and a Fuji Frontier printer from a lab in my area shown as a wireframe. The gamut of sRGB is wider in the blues and magentas and these colors that fit in sRGB would be clipped on output to this printer and you would have no way of knowing that in the absence of a profile for the printer. A few yellows in the gamut of the printer are outside the gamut of sRGB, and these could have been saved if you had used a wider space such as aRGB or ProPhotoRGB.
My suggestion is that you find a printer for which a profile is available. Costco uses Frontiers and Noritsus and makes profiles available. Most high end labs will give you a profile (otherwise, you are being ripped off). Then you can use soft proofing to detect and map out of gamut colors. If you are in aRGB and soft proof to see what colors are clipped in sRGB, you still do not know what colors that fit in sRGB would be clipped in printing. Also, if you have a profile with perceptual rendering (such rendering is not available for matrix profiles such as sRGB, aRGB, and ProPhotoRGB) you could try that to map the out of gamut colors.
The most recent inkjets have a considerably wider gamut than photo paper, and the use of ProPhotoRGB is recommended for use with these.

What is the best way to switch to Thunderbird from Incredimail (old emails and address book)?

I'm feeling trapped in Incredimail. What is the best way to move over to Thunderbird? I'd like to keep my old emails, attachments and the address book as well. Is this possible?
I've seen the program "PCVARE IncrediMail Converter" at www.pcvare.com/incredimail-converter.html#dl.
Isn't there a better way (and free) to get out and away from the Incredimail trap?

Bonjour,
Open the address book window of TB. By the menu Tools / Import you can discover the possibilities and files formats accepted by TB for importing.
I don't know Incredimail, explore the menus of Incredimail to find how you can export data.

Best way to back out data changes after a release

Hi,
I'm trying to decide on the best way to backup some production data in case a release fails and we need to roll back the changes. This would be for data updates only, not schema changes. We have extremely limited access to production, and another team handles all the RMAN backups. The people who actually implement our releases are also pretty prone to mistakes.
I have thought of two options. The tables we want to backup are about 9 MB total in size (it's about 10 codes tables).
1. Create a bu table for each of the tables before the release. So for JENNSTABLE, we would create a JENNSTABLE_BU using CTAS. If we need to revert, we can drop JENNSTABLE and rename the JENNSTABLE_BU accordingly. The bu table would remain in production until the next release, where it would be reused again. This would be really easy to script and therefore avoid any mistakes by the production support team who implements our instructions. We would also be able to determine what values changed by querying the bu table at any time (currently old values are not retained anywhere).
2. Use datapump to export the 10 tables, then truncate the tables and import the previously created files to restore the original data. I'm hesitant to use this method because I've never used datapump before, and as we don't have access to the servers, creating file system files makes me a little nervous. If I used a bu table, I can logon to the database and at least tell if it exists.
Are there any preferred methods for doing this (besides restoring a table w/ RMAN)? Is there a best practice? Any advice is appreciated!

Hi sb92075,
That's a good suggestion. FLASHBACK_ON is set to no on my database, but if I understand correctly, I can still do a FLASHBACK TABLE and the undo data would be used. Is that correct?
My concerns w/ using Flashback are ..
1) The client might decide to rollback the changes a week after they've been executed. The undo data might not be available and the flashback would fail.
2) If any of the following processes are part of the release, the flashback wouldn't work:
"The following DDL operations change the structure of a table, so that you cannot subsequently use the TO SCN or TO TIMESTAMP clause to flash the table back to a time preceding the operation: upgrading, moving, or truncating a table; adding a constraint to a table, adding a table to a cluster; modifying or dropping a column; adding, dropping, merging, splitting, coalescing, or truncating a partition or subpartition (with the exception of adding a range partition)."
Can you address those two issues? Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! This forum has helped me immensely with my work.
