Bridge Preferences Advanced Misc: check what/why?

Bridge>Preferences>Advanced>Misc:
do we check those boxes, software rendering, monitor previews, for speed or quality?
What's the trade off/sweet spot?
Thanks !

Software rendering is only useful when having an underpowered graphic card
(not enough VRAM), mostly occurring when using slideshows and see incorrect
behavior or slow rebuilding. In that case you can select this option that
will then gain extra power from your system RAM and therefore slow down
other processes.
Monitor preview is very useful for same slideshow but I use it for viewing
previews at full screen using spacebar when in content window. This setting
speeds up this process and you will scroll faster through those full screen
preview with this setting. However, you need to recache older files (purge
cache) before it will be active on those, for new files it takes a little
bit longer to build cache but you gain much profit of it

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate my passport for mac disc, but my mac is also holding 40G worth of back up when i check what is using space. Why is this?

Having trouble with disc space on my 120G mac air. I back up to a separate " my passport for mac" disc , but my mac is also holding approx 40G of back ups as well when ive checked what is using space. Why is this?
Ive started running iphoto from the separate passport to save space,
and put all my music into the itunes match to save space as well
but it is still saying it is almost full because of the back ups!
I should of bought a bigger mac, but i need to make do at the moment, but it is hard when it constantly has only 10G or less space left.

When you use TimeMachine to back up a Mac notebook the local backups feature is automatically enabled. The local backup is just like a TimeMachine backup but it is done to the internal drive rather than an external. The important thing about local backups is that the feature is smart - as you need more drive space for your own data and applications, TimeMachine automatically culls the local backup to give you that needed space. So yes, it will look like you have very little drive space left and that the backup is 'robbing' you of needed GBs. But it really isn't.

What happened to Preferences/Advanced/Enable Playback of Flash Tracks

In the past, to make a .mov work in Windows, i selected
"Enable Playback of Flash Tracks" in Preferences/Advanced
My .mov file will not play in QT 7.4.5 and wonder if the loss of this feature is the reason

Factory reset - the what, why, and how for Gingerbread

I wanted to share this information regarding a Factory Reset and how it is used for Gingerbread - both the what, why, and how - in case anyone is interested in the details. If you embark on this process, this thread is worth a close read. thanks to d.harris for writing this up for the SOAK group. good luck everyone and remember, YMMV.
First, what does a "factory reset" do? The short answer is: it will return your phone to the condition it was in when you first purchased it EXCEPT the Android version will match your phone's latest update. For example, I had Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on my phone before the "soak". My phone was updated to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread or "GB") during the "soak". I had some trouble with video performance in the Fox News app and missing album cover art in the Google Music app. So I decided to do the factory reset. After the reset was finished, my Droid X still had Android 2.3.3 on it but all of the settings had been restored to their factory defaults. And presumably, all Android operating system (OS) caches had been flushed. All of the data that was stored in my phone's memory was cleared. So my contacts were all gone. And I had to reactivate my phone (*228 1) just like a new phone and reenter my Google account info.
Does a factory reset actually clear the entire contents of the phone's memory and re-install Android from scratch? (That's what I wish it did.) But I'm not sure that it does that because the entire process seems to go too fast for that. However, a factory reset does seem to do a better job of cleaning out the remnants of the previous OS (Froyo 2.2.1) than a standard "update" does. But that's not all.
The factory reset also clears all of the apps that were installed in the phone's memory. And it clears all of the app data that was installed in the phone's memory. So you will have to reinstall all of your apps from the Android Market (or wherever they came from). Normally, you do not have to pay for them again because the Android Market remembers your previous purchases as long as you register your phone with the same Google account.
However, the Android Market does not remember the free apps that you installed---so you should make a list of all your apps before you reset your phone so you won't forget the free ones. The reason I wrote "installed in the phone's memory" above is because a factory reset gives you a choice whether or not to clear your phone's micro SD memory card. If desired, it will leave it alone. So any apps or data will still be present on your card after the reset. However, your phone will not be aware of the apps on the memory card because all "knowledge" of them will have been erased from your phone's internal memory---you'll still have to reinstall ALL of your apps. But the data files will still be there. Regarding the "built-in" apps that come pre-installed with Android, they will also be restored to their original state and version when you do a factory reset. So you'll need to update some of them (like updating Google Maps and updating Adobe Flash from 10.1 to 10.3).
Before you do a factory reset, you should have a fully charged battery becaues you do NOT want to run out of power in the middle of a reset---that could "brick" your phone. I always take an extra precaution: in addition to a fully charged battery, I also connect my phone to AC with the Motorola AC-to-USB charging adapter that came with it. Not only does it insure that I won't run out of power, it also keeps my battery fully charged so I have a 100% charge after the factory reset (you'll have a lot of work to do afterward to reinstall your apps and restore all of your Android and app settings back to your preferences).
Here's a pre reset checklist:
• Export your contacts to your SD card so you can easily restore them later (Contacts/Dialer menu > Import/Export > Export contacts to: SD card).
• Make a list of all of the apps that you installed (Android menu > Manage Apps > Downloaded tab).
• Get a copy of your Google account login info (user name and password).
• Get a copy of your Verizon Backup Assistant PIN (if you use this service).
• Turn off your phone and pull its battery. Wait 30 seconds or more and reinstall the battery and turn the phone back on. This will make sure that there is nothing hinky in your phone's volatile memory as the factory reset begins.
• Fully charge your phone's battery and plug the AC charging adapter into the phone.
Now you're ready to do the deed. Follow these steps:
1. If it's not already on, turn on Google's "back up my data" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Back up my data. This is required for the next step.
2. Turn off the "automatic restore" option with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Automatic restore. This will prevent your phone from trying to download every paid app that was previously on your phone all at once. It is much better---especially if you have a lot of apps---to install them one at a time. Plus, you may not want some of them to be reinstalled right away if you are trying to determine if one of them is causing trouble under GB 2.3.3.
3 If you do not want to use Google's "back up my data" service to restore your wi-fi passwords and such, then return to Step 1 and turn it off.
4. Begin the factory reset with Android menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. You'll be asked to confirm that you really want to do a factory reset and you'll be given the opportunity to clear your micro SD memory card as a part of the process. I chose not to clear my memory card because I have a 32 GB card with "tons" of music and other files that I do not want to have to restore (it would take hours).
When should you do a factory reset? Everyone should do it before they give their phone away, sell it, or discard it. You don't want someone else to have access to your personal data! And, a factory reset can be a helpful troubleshooting tool when faced with problems.
By the way, my factory reset did not help the video problem I was having with the Fox News app nor did it enable Google's Music app to find all of the album art on my micro SD card. Both problems persisted after the reset under GB 2.3.3.
Finally, there are other things you can do to flush old data from your phone such as clearing the cache partition of your phone's built-in memory. This requires the use of its "Android system recover" menu. Even though I expect this cache data to be cleared during a factory reset, I did it after my reset just to make sure. Clearing the cache partition is usually what folks try before a factory rest so they can (hopefully) avoid the factory reset. I'll leave it to a Motorola staff person to go into that.

OK, got it ... the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ...
To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
1. Power Off phone
2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time. This brings up the Blue menu of options.
use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
edit: It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms. At least it sounds like a good reason...

HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
Any ideas. ??

Hello kskip,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive. You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

How to check what is the full name of the installer is used?

Hi,
how to check what is the full name of the installer is used?
Thanks,

Very nice, but assuming you did deliberately fire the installer, don't you remember the command? Apart from that your question has (as usual) no version and no platform and no context. If you are still in the installer and using any variant of Unix you can very easily run 'ps' to see the exact command.
You would have needed to provide platform and version information when submitting the SR. Can you explain why you have this forum guess at it?

How can I check what version of Java Web Start is installed on the client ?

hi,
Can anyone tell me how can I check what version of java web start is installed on the client and display a message if the client has not the good version ?
I mean:
I'd like all people running my application use java 5 and if someone using java 1.4 try to run the application get a nice screen telling him to download the latest version of Java Web Start.
Is this possible ?
Thanks in advance.

Of course, I put this on my jnlp file,
<resources>
<j2se version="1.5+"/>
<jar href="..... "/>
</resources> But even with that, it doesn't display a nice message but a kind of exception instead.
Thanks in advance.

Bridge preferences keep resetting. Please help!

This is SO frustrating! I just upgraded to CS4 and my Bridge preferences keep resetting back to factory defaults. I have reinstalled the entire CS4 and I have also restarted Bridge holding down the option key and still nothing. I have also repaired disk permissions upon suggestion from Adobe Support.
Does anyone have any tips on what to do?
Furthermore, also, in Camera Raw my settings don't take either. In previous versions of ACR all I had to do was click the option once and everything in ACR would come up the same in subsequent openings. For example...ACR pops up in a very small window, in CS3 you could click the "full screen" option and each time you opened ACR, it would open full screen. Now every time I open ACR, it opens small and I have to click the screen larger. Very tedious. Same with changing the colorspace under each image...previously I had set it to sRGB and it would stick, however, now with CS4 every time I change it, it reverts back to Adobe 1998. Ugh.
Can anyone help? I have been on the phone for hours with Adobe support and everyone seems to lead me on a wild goose chase with no results.
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8.
Thank you!

The easiest way I can think of is to use your original install disk for
OSX10.5 and choose the option to archive and install a new system.
The Archive and Install option makes a copy of your old library and creates
a fresh new one leaving all the other existing files intact.
However, to be sure first make a back up of all your important files from
your user account (including the Document, pictures, music movie etc
folders) if you not already have done so (something you should have... )
First of all use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall you CS4 copy (it should
be in the utilities folder)
Then run the Archive and Install option from the install disk. You should
start up from this disk otherwise it won't work. When finished restart OSX
and use software update to get the latest version of OSX 10.5
Reinstall CS4 and try again.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Confused by a Bridge Preference in camera raw

Hello,
I am setting up preferences in Bridge to open up JPEG's in camera raw, as well as raw images.
There are 2 sets of preferences in Bridge-regular preferences and camera raw preferences.
I understand the camera raw preferences, where I can have it disable Tiffs, but open all jpegs or jpegs that have been processed in camera raw.
However, in the regular Bridge Preferences-there is an option to : "Double Click edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" - can someone explain to me what this preferences does?
thanks!

How to check what is missing from iTunes library?

Today I moved my entire iTunes library onto my external hard drive as I needed to reinstall Windows. I had 622 artists at the time. I copied over the entire My Music folder to my external hard drive before formatting my hard drive to make sure I didn't miss any files.
When the process of installing Windows was complete, and I had transferred my library back onto the PC and into the new My Music folder, iTunes now said that I have 619 artists in my library. However, there are still 622 artist folders in the iTunes Media/Music folder.
Can anyone recommend ways to accurately check what is missing, and suggest why the number is now lower? I have artists in my library with East Asian artist tags that have Sort Artist tags with English characters, so checking the folders in iTunes Media/Music against the iTunes library wouldn't be very accurate, as the orders are different.

Hi xtanto,
one more idea: I think that you can obtain some specific type of principal from the user principal object, and that type would differ for SSO and custom DB login.
E.g. FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal() returns a JAZNUserAdaptor instance under OC4J, which object contains this specific type of principal object somewhere in the getSubject().getPrincipals().iterator(). Then you can tell which login module is in use by checking if you have a DBUserPrincipal or a RealmPrincipal. (Note that these classes are just guesses.)

Preferences advanced network connection configure button missing

Checking preferences > advanced > network > connection > configure how Firefox connects to the internet, found that the "settings" button did not appear. Also, the "encryption" tab on the far right was gone.
Most recent changes were to install addons Certificate Patrol and Perspectives. I reverted to a profile saved before they were installed but that made no difference. The troubleshooting data below is without the two addons.

Thanks for the quick response. To answer the first question, the window can't be resized, at least on 10.5. Macs are cranky about such things.
I had been working on isolating the problem since posting the question. It is in my userChrome CSS running under Stylish; so the problem is either the CSS or Stylish or Stylish Custom. In any event not some external thing, which was my main concern. I'm sure that this did not occur with previous combinations of Firefox, userChrome, and the two extensions. The problem may never be fixed, but can be circumvented by just disabling the CSS when needed.
Sorry to have stirred up things, but it was a troubling phenomenon.
