Bible study software

Anyone have a good bible study aplication you can recomend. I not sure if this is where this queation belongs.

You're correct, this isn't the place. However:
1. My apologies for lumping Mr. Schroeder with the great majority of folks who have not read the Bible start to finish, he may well in fact have.
2. Ditto the above.
3. My best answer to "they" would be the ministers and priests Jefferson was referring to in his "Eternal Hostility" letter to Dr. Rush.
IMHO, a well rounded person would want to study both sides of the Bible question, possibly by reading Robert Ingersol, Thomas Paine, Steve Allen, or Bruce Chilton. I freely admit this was not part of the original question.

Is it legitimate to call my Bible study software as MacBible?

I am a developer of a Bible study software. Can I call it MacBible and not be sued from Apple?

Ok but no one here can answer a legal question. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.
Pardon the pun but you need to talk to a higher power.

Alkitab Bible Study software

http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/d … index.html
I don't how complicated this would be to build, but it would be so very awesome if someone could take up the task.

I think I have a working solution for a system-wide install with shared books.
I don't build from sources (the build.xml only had the target build-installer, and that didn't work too well - lots of missing variables and stuff when run outside of netbeans), I used the installer directly. The installer software can be used via cli, and options can be read from a file. So, I use the installer directly.
It's a good idea to download the installer seperately from download.com (here), the KIYUT server is kinda slow.
To get system-shared books to work (so that the books can be installed with the package), I hacked the startup script to append the system-wide path to the per-user setting the first time it's run. If the user removes the system wide directory it ought to stay removed.
I'll post the PKGBUILD and the patch here, please test it. If you want to maintain it, you can add it to AUR. If you want me to add it, I'll do it, but I won't promise 1st class support

Bible study software done right: ISA2

The reason I write this post is that sometimes it's hard to find the right tool for the right job, and this software isn't ranking too high on SERPs.
Having struggled with buggy Xiphos recently, I'd like to raise awareness on alternatives: ISA 2 is an amazing software, it's free, but needs to run through wine.
Introduction
ISA (Interlinear Scripture Analyzer) is an Interlinear Bible and Concordance Search tool.
Etymological and idiomatic sublinears are closing the gap between translations and the original Bible text. ISA is designed to be dynamic and transparent, hereby enhancing objectivity. ISA has unique functions to present the interlinear renderings in a concise, systematic way and showing the connection between them. This will greatly improve word studies. Even possible errors in any of the databases are easily detected by this method.
The objective of Scripture4all (read "Scripture for all") is to make the original Scriptures accessible for a broad public by developing tools to bridge the gap between the original Bible texts and Bible translations.
Xiphos is great for comparing between more versions, has more resourses, but this program goes far beyond what Xiphos has to offer. IMHO, it's Bible study software done right.
Doing a packer -Ss Bible, doesn't give you too much despite the 15 hits. If I'm not the only one here appreciating such software, maybe we could help arch users stumble upon this blessing by including it into the AUR.

I just failed a second time to contact the author on a different address, but I can't get around rfc-ignorant.org. Any ideas ?
Until I get an answer from the developer, those installing manually might find the following information useful.
Known issues:
Running ISA from the command line, can be a bit tricky, but this works for me:
bash -c "cd \"$HOME/.wine/drive_c/ISA2/\" ; env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/ wine \"ISA.exe\""
As already noted somewhere above, rendering hebrew isn't perfect. Among the few fonts that display niqqudim (vocals) too, none are willing to render them in their proper place, though Ezra SIL, Frank Ruehl CLM, and particularly Deja Vu Sans do a more acceptable job, ALL of them fails to display a final niqqud, thus you can't tell whether a final shin is read "s" or "sh" for example. So if anyone is trying to learn hebrew, take note of this bug as you'll be mislead on a few occasions.
This is a wine issue, as leafpad renders well. Does anyone know how to fix this ?...
Note, only one interlinear level displays niqqudim: WLC_v.

HT201269 I am trying to transfers my iPad 2 apps to me new iPad Air, but some of the apps did not back up on the computer. Every time I go to back up the old device, some of the apps don't get transferred. My big concern is the Olive Tree Bible Study wo

I have the Olive Tree Bible Study app, which is one of the best tools I have ever used for study and within the app I purchased several resources/concordances that are very useful (plus they had up in the wallet, but very worth it)
I had it on my iPad 2 and when I went to back it up on my iMac, the app doesn't populate in the apps tab. This also applies to some of my games but I'm not that worried about losing those.
I am trying to get those particular apps on my iPad Air.
Has anyone else come across an issue like this?
Thanks and I appreciate anyone's time.

Go into the App Store from your iPad and select Purchased, then select Not onThis iPad, and download the apps that you want. Because you already own them you can download them again for free ... provided that you are using the same Apple ID as you used when you originally purchased them.
In fact when I look up the Olive Tree app, it seems like the main app is free in any case.
Once you are in the app look for some option to restore purchases.

1Z0-040 Recommended Study Software

I'm due to take the 1Z0-040 exam shortly and have been using the Sybex 1Z0-040 book to date. The book is good but I haven't had the time I'd like to study for this exam so I think I'm going to have to buy some supplemental exam software. The cheapest I've found is from pass-guaranteed.com at $39.99 but I'm sure if it's any good. Has anyone use this or any other product from pass-guaranteed.com? Or any other software for this exam that you can suggest? All suggestions are greatly appreciated :)
Thanks
Paul

well, I didn't realise that it was only a PDF file and not software that I was buying from pass-guaranteed.com but that's my fault for not reading it correctly. The PDF itself was full of typos and some of the questions didn't even have answers. But in saying that, the questions were very representative of what was to come up in my exam and I think some of them were actually identical and it definitely helped in me passing the exam. I've nothing to compare it against but typos aside, I would recommend this..

The package was originally designed for Ubuntu, hence the last part that the user should make sure he has a "Documents" folder.
On IRC (freenode #archlinux) I have been told:
* There is another way to extract the deb, so deb2targz is not needed?
* I should not extract the package directly to / but to $pkgdir?
* The comment on creating the directory should be appended somewhere else?
Could someone please review this and help me correct my obvious mistakes?
Thanks a million!

Switching to Mac - Helpful Tips & Suggestions Requested

Well, after my experience with the iPhone, I became interested in a Mac. After doing some research, I decided to make the switch. My new 15" MBP with iWork and MobileMe should be arriving Monday or Tuesday (I was really hoping it would arrive by this Friday to give me the weekend to play with my new toy, but no such luck).
Anyway, I was looking for tips and suggestions for a Mac newbie (and laptop newbie) as well.
The machine is purely for personal use: some light gaming (though I may just keep my XP box for this), email/internet, personal finance, iTunes, research/writing for informal presentations to small groups, and Bible study (Logos developing a Mac version of their software was the final deciding factor).
Any suggestions/tips/recommendations on helpful books, websites, software and accessories would be much appreciated. Specifically, I would appreciate some feedback on personal finance software, research/note-taking software, and docking stations/KVM switches. Also, anything I need to be aware of as I transfer my iTunes library to the laptop and setting it up as my primary iTunes machine.

Hi
Glad the link was useful, and I can completely understand with the books.
No I have not used anything else of this type, I stumbled on notebook first of all and did not feel the need to look for anything else.
Notebook is really good for keeping all the notes for a project in one place. You can keep various types of media (written notes, web page clippings, recordings, pictures etc...) in one notebook, and organise them in several different ways. You can have various different notebooks open at the same time.
The feature I like best is the ability to make an audio recording of say a lecture, interview, meeting, even TV programme and keep notes at the same time which are then linked to the point in the recording when they where made.
Then later you can look at your notes and jump into the recording to hear the relevant part of the recording to those particular notes.
So you can have an accurate record of what went on as well as a written record of your thoughts at the time and both are link chronologically.
You can also add in additional notes when you play back the recording later which is handy in case you miss something first time round.
Notebook uses the internal mic and does all this from inside the app, so you don't need anything else.
I find it is just a really handy app to have around.
Thanks for the star by the way.

What Order Does iPod Display!?

My mini is driving me crazy. I like to listen to Bible studies when I am going to sleep. I need to listen to the sermons in order. But my iPod keeps listing the files BACKWARD! On iTunes, I set the playlist to display exactly how I want them to play. On the mini-backward. I set the track numbers in proper sequence-backward. What is the mini using as a sort criteria? Certainly not the name of the song. I looked in my song list on another playlist and it is all random and not listed in any particular order.
Can someone tell me by what criteria the iPod Mini uses to sort with? What takes priority? Why would it be listed backward through my tracks?
My iPod Mini has the latest software update.

Yes, I have one playlist that reads "Bible Study" and I want to sort the tracks within it.
Job 1-4
Job 5-6
Job 7-10
etc.
Here is what I wrote to Apple:

On iTunes, I set the playlist to display exactly how I want them to play. On the mini-backward. I set the track numbers in proper sequence-backward. What is the mini using as a sort criteria? Certainly not the name of the song. I found it was listing by WHEN it was transfered.
Please fix this bug. Have the playlist list by how we set it in iTunes. This includes regular playlists AND smartplaylists. If on iTunes it lists in track order, so be it. If it lists in alphabetical song name order, so be it. If random is turned on in the playlist, have it list randomly.
Shouldn't this be how it properly operates? Thanks! BTW I have an Intel iMac.

Where can I find my backups from Palm?

I have to do a Hard Reboot to my Treo (palm software) and so I am trying to accomplish a good backup so that I can get all my third party software and information back. (I am having trouble with my email software shutting my palm software down.)
How do I know that I have a good backup and where on my computer can I find this?? I have 3 pieces of third party software (one for mileage and one for my lists and one for bible study) AND after we have completed this reboot, how can I reinstall my backup? Will this bring my phone back with my software and information in that software?? I don't want to lose those 3 pieces software and/or information currently in those software pieces.
Thank You in advance,
Linda
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

We have the software for you to download. The reason why I wanted to see if the data is on the device is it will make it much easier to move the data to the new Desktop. As for the name. As long as you saw this under hotsync on the Treo your perfectly fine.
Now we need to remove as much as possible of the other version of Palm Desktop. If you have your backups located other than in Sony clie folders we are ready to do the next steps.
Now I'm going to tell you where to go and what to delete. At some points it might sound vague. That is due to I do not know the Clie software that well and they modified it when they used the software from us. Also there is going to be a place on your computer call the Registry Editor. While in here only delete what is specified. If you do not see exactly that then do not delete. If you have any questions, post back and and ask away. I'm here to help you and get you where you need to be.
Now the hard part,
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. This step you already done so we can go foward.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Next I would like you to delete the Sony Clie folder that has Palm Desktop in it. Nothing else just that folder. Should be under C:\Program Files\Sony or C:\Sony\Handheld... If you do not know what to delete then do not worry about this. One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of your self see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To help against this we need to do a backup.
Go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Is batch automation possible in lightroom?

I'm converting about 800 pictures from color to black and white for a bible study that will be printed . Ive tried several ways of converting using modes and techniques I found on other sites in photoshop but wasnt happy with results. These pictures are of landscapes and people. They all seemed either fuzzy or detail was lost so I decided to give Lightroom a try. I found lots of presets in the adobe marketplace for b & w conversion and wanted to know if batch automation was possible once I found one that I was happy with.

That will depend on each image really, just experiment to find the one that works best for your purposes, it will depend on the file type as well - some are developed for raw and others for jpeg or tiff files. You can undo the application of a preset easily withe the usual undo command. Try testing on a Virtual Copy of one image.

Network Limited Conectivity & Virtual-Box

Just bought a new Dell Inspiron 3137 laptop, with 64-bit Windows 8.0 installed (not 8.1). I have four legacy 16-bit programs (Bible study, Sermon editor/reference, 2 games) that I need to use as cannot find more recent versions on the market. So initially
tried to use MS Virtual-PC but it would not install, so then installed Virtual-Box followed by Win-Xp. The W8 OS now (after serious setup efforts) connects ok under Wi-Fi and Ethernet to the internet and to computers on my home network. But Virtual-Box
and Xp fails! looking at my "Networks" W8 pop-up window I see an entry of "Unidentified Network" and that it has limited connectivity. Xp indicates "connected" but received packet count is 0.
Think this is a result of my attempts & connections under Virtual-Box. I go to Network and Sharing Center and find first 2 category are enabled but "All Networks" entry is disabled/off and I cannot find any way to enable! I go to
"Network Connections page and I see 6 entries (Bluetooth, Netgear router, broadband, Virtual-Box, etc). I run the troubleshooter on the Virtual-Box link and am informed that it cannot fix & no useful help provided to me by system! No progress
w/ comparability mode on legacy programs.
I have initially informed Dell Technical support then most recently Oracle of this problem >>> both say it is not their product malfunctioning and that errors are in configuration of Windows-8 >> but no help.
This is serious irritation as have already wasted about 40 hours chasing/messing with this problem >>>> NEED HELP AND SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE!
Thanks .....

Thanks Kevin for the reply, but no progress here. I am completely new to Windows 8.0 and slightly new to any networking, so keep that in mind should you decide to reply again, A.K.A., I might need a bit of step-by-step assistance .....
The symptoms here : My new Dell computer finally now connects by wi-fi to home network, has always connected to internet. I am using Virtual-Box v4.12.18 w/ Xp Pro, SP-3. Under Xp in Network I note that it shows "Connected" but received packet
count is 0, sent packet count is hundreds. Looking within W8 at advanced settings, I see 3 network types, 1) Private = enabled, 2) Guest = enabled, 3) All = NOT enabled (and I can find no click, link or setting that
will enable). Have tried with Network Discovery on & off, and with File Sharing on & off, and with 56-bit & 128-bit encryption selected alternatively. So run the Troubleshooter = first pass informed
it could not fix problem : later, troubleshooter stated it fix some problem(s) with incoming connections = at that point I looked and found that under W8 both sent & received packet count was into low thousand but Xp still showed 0 receive.
When I look at Networks under W8 I see "Netgear52" W/ no errors, then see either "Unidentified Network (limited connectivity) OR randomly see "VirtualBox (Limited Connectivity) and so think Netgear52 is what I should be using.
Again under W8 networking pages, I try "Setup Network - Chose Wireless Router" am asked for SSID (whatever?) but showing nothing after 10-minutes. Have made all efforts both with & without Firewall on Xp & I think on W8 also, no changes
to Security Essentials Xp is in NAT mode and have not yet tried "Bridged."
"ipconfig?"
Base system here are : Dell 3137 Inspiron laptop, Win 8.0 + Win-Xp Pro. Motorola Surfboard cable modem. Netgear52 router. Various home networked Eithernet connected computers. Various Tablet & eBook readers connected Wi-Fi. No other component is
reporting any errors and all work Ok. Xp is Ok except zero connectivity to Internet and home network. Need to get Xp connected so can access data for legacy programs off home & church networks.
So your help seriously appreciated! Bill

Quick Time Internet Authentication ??

I installed QT Pro -- and proceeded to download few items/qt movies to hard drive for future viewing. The problem begins when I open QT program & click the open file & and then click on it to play. THEN: A Box appears with the heading: QUICK TIME INTERNET AUTHENTICATION & below that "enter username for streaming server @ gt-cm.edgestreams.net" & then the boxes to type in: userid:_________ & password:________.
I would appreciate someone helping me with a solution to this situation. I know it must be a simple solution -- but right now I am a baffled 55 year person & getting really "out of snuff" on "WHY I CAN'T GET THIS STUPID THING TO WORK" & WANTING MY $$$$ back that was billed to my cc for this purchase.
Thanks to anyone & all who will give me an answer.

David - thanks for being interested. The site I used to download the movie/is "wednesdayswithbeth.com" to utilize the video in bible study. (There was no problem with this last year). But now -- I had to purchase QT Pro -- so I did. At any rate -- when I download a particular video & save it to my hard drive -- if I later go back to open it up -- that's when the box pops up with the heading of Quick Time Internet Authentication asking for useid & password.
I called -- but no one could address this problem via telephone & instructed me to visit the quicktime support online. Let me know if you can help
Thanks,
Delia
