Bug in vi.lib routine "Copy from Folder to Folder.vi" in LabView 8.0.1

There is a dataflow error in the vi.lib routine "Copy from Folder to Folder.vi" that is revealed by LabView 8.0.1
"Copy from Folder to Folder.vi" is called by "Librarian Copy.vi". I use the Librarian sometimes because it is the only way to copy a file that may be found inside a built executeable at run-time. "Copy from Folder to Folder.vi" intends to delete the target before copying source to target, but due to a dataflow error actually calls for the delete and copy operations to be executed in parallel. Under older versions of Labview, the delete apparently executed before the copy, so the routine worked. In LabView 8.0.1 the copy is executed before the delete, so the file is properly copied and then improperly deleted.
The fix is to fix the dataflow so that the delete occurs first. Alternatively since LV 8's copy function now supports overwriting, you could get rid of the delete entirely and just set overwrite = T.
A LabView 8.0.1 example is provided. It should make a copy of itself in the enclosing directory, but it doesn't until you fix the bug.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting such a detailed description of the problem. Thankfully, it has previously been reported, and will be fixed in the next LabVIEW release.

Bug? - Spaces missing when copying from Adobe Reader

I have found that when attempting to copy text from some documents (in Adobe Reader)on IOS, to paste into a writer program, that all the spaces are missing.
There is not aproblem with the same document / Adobe reader on my Windows PC.
There was also not a problem copying from the same document using another reader (ios FileBrowser native reader), then pasting.
I quick Google found that I was not alone...
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/plaintext/2Bs49s1K9_o/KTwelaiqEIsJ
This link lays out the issue, not common to all IOS PDF readers, with a solution: use another reader.
Is there a solution for this in Adobe Reader, or how can it be reported to Adobe?

There are no spaces there. That is not how pdf files are constructed. HOWEVER, on PCs and Macs, the applications are smart enough to figure that spaces should be inserted into the text being copied. The iOS app is not smart enough to figure out on certain pdfs that it should insert spaces on copying from those problemsome pdfs. Adobe does have a feature request/bug reporting form where you can report the problem:

Package not getting Copied from One Team Folder to Other.

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BPC MS 7.5 Ver. and while trying to Copy Package from one Team Folder to other ( i.e. Copy Import package from Company Folder to any other Team Folder) via Organize package List,but I am not able to do so.
The package is getting copied successfully but not getting saved in the respective team folder.
I have aasigned the destination Team folder, the Execute Access of Data Manager.
Can anyone pelase help on the same?
Regards,
Apoorva

Hi Apoorva,
you have to set the destination team and group, click on ok this will copy the package and at the end the save button to apply the changes.
You can also copy manually from one folder to the other the dtsx file and after you can made it visible via Organize package List by adding the package.

Artwork Missing when copying from ITunes Media Folder (iTunes 9.2)

After updating to iTunes 9.2, whenever I wanted to copy one song with Artwork to another folder, the artwork is missing as it did not copy anymore. Even if I look at the Preview window, there is no artwork.
The original song inside my Itunes Media Folder still has the artwork.
This can't be normal. Is there anyway to fix this?

This is a much larger problem with 9.2 corrupting the finder. Check out these following posts on this and other sites:

I copied our entire music folder from old PC on tovnew iMac, all our muisc is there, but not our individual libraries have gone. and holding down the alt key when opening iTunes, brings up no options to choose or create libarys, can i recover our liba

Hi
I copied our entire music folder from our old pc on to the new imac, and all the apps, music etc is there, but no individual libarys, we had 5 very different ones, when pressing and holding the alt key on opeing itunes, nothing happens it just opens into itunes, no option to choose or create a libary, what am i doing wrong?

Did you copy the entire iTunes folder, not just media? This includes the critical library.itl file.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
Now you say you had 5 libraries. If you really mean that then you would have to have copied 5 different iTunes folders in their entirety, not just one folder. Anyway, something makes me feel you did not copy a whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files, you only copied the music.
On the starting with the option (alt) key held down I really don't know what to advise. It works for me hundreds of times and just about everybody else here. The only thing I can suggest is to hold the key down longer or perhaps start iTunes and then 1 second later hold down the key for a few seconds.

OSB : How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects?

How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects in OSB?
For eg:
I have a service call out action in Project1/proxySer1
I want to copy this to Project2/proxySer2.
Espicially, in our case error handling callout is common to all of our projects and we should be able to copy from one to another.
Edited by: user10367892 on Aug 20, 2009 12:28 PM

Thank you for the reply.
It was my fault. I was on two different servers, while i was doing this and so didn't work. But copy /past action works as you suggested.
Can I select multiple actions from one stage and paste to different proxy service? I have too many options to copy/paste and hence I have this question.
Is there any other way of copying all selected actions in one stage to another, but not the complete stage itselft?

How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
What's the work around?
Thank you

I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

How should I copy my iTunes Music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

I have copied the iTunes music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro using firewire and target disk mode. After all the files (for files read each individual song) have been copied I find that not all songs can be played. For those which will not play I get he error message "The song "bla bla" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I answer "locate" on this popup I'm taken to a view of finder. If I double click on the song there, the song will play on iTunes. Seems to be something to do with the structure of the folders but in get info I cannot see a difference between songs encountering this problem and those which don't.

Instead of copying only the _iTunes music folder_, copy the entire *iTunes folder.*
That's all you need to do.

do you want to copy or move the files??
Also can you explain the time when this movement should happen? this gives a little insight on the problem and also some optimum solutions can be suggested

I want to automatically have my pictures copied from my iphone to my computer into "my pictures" into a dated folder. My phone did this at first and now it doesn't. How do I set this up?

What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone.

Tell iphoto to view photos from a predefined folder and not copy them

Hi!
I am using iphoto 09 and was wondering if we can tell iphoto to take photos from a particular folder and not copy the photos in its own set of folders. I don't want to have duplicates.
I already had structured my folders in a certain way and I don't want Iphoto copying them again.
tanks!

Best way of working: Recreate your folders in the iPhoto Window and forget about your own.

I can't open a folder copied from windows after mountain lion install.

Yesterday, I installed mountain lion, since then I can't open any of folders I copied from other windows computer.
It worked fine with lion. Idon't understand.
Any help?? pleas??

All of your TBird mail files are located in ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXX.default. The library folder is hidden in Mountain Lion by default. To make it visible open the terminal app in your utilities folder and type "chflags nohidden ~/Library" without the quotes.

On MacBook 10.6, in iTunes 10.3.1, music downloaded from CD, copied from Recently Added, pasted into named New Playlist Folder, is displayed there but can then disappear from this folder. What am I doing wrong?

QUESTION: On MacBook 10.6.7, in iTunes 10.3.1, music downloaded from CD, copied from Recently Added, pasted to named New Playlist Folder, is displayed as a list but can later disappear. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514

Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
May be available from Apple again...

Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

Why won't all my pictures copy to a new folder from iPhoto?

When I try to copy 95 photos from an events folder to a folder on the desktop, only 62 are copied. Why is that?

Hi Terence,
Two quick questions: I either rebuilt or restored my iphoto library a couple of months ago due to inability to read and received the error: may be in use by another application. This occured on a 2006 macbook pro that i upgraded to lion and also iphoto 11/9.3.
I dont remember if I rebuilt or restored (couple months gone by); however, it worked! So no issue there. Just wanted to give you a history as I believe it is related to my current inquiry.
Question 1: Further exploration shows that I have 114Gb when I do "Get Info" on the pictures folder in my home folder. Omnidisk sweep also says I have 115Gb in pictures.However, when I lookup storage in the system information it says that I only have 70Gb in photos. Why the discrepancy? Did I double my library size by doing the above rebuild/restore? Should I not worry about this as system info only shows 70Gb vs. 114Gb in pictures folder? I also trashed the ipod photo cache (read this in previous thread from you) and saw this will be no biggie as it will be rebuilt. This got me back 14Gb, but did nothing for the above discrepancy.
Question #2: since I did the above, i've noticed an enormous increase in HD usage in "other" category, I do not believe this was related to the above; however, since following you and some threads I turned off time machine and therefore solved the local backup hogging up HD problem. Since doing both things above, got at least 7Gb back-great, but believe I can still get more as I still have 45Gb of "other" in my system info.
Are there still mobile time machine backups looming in the background or do I have some picures from restore/rebuild? if so what is best way to delete this extra data w/out harming my photos?
Thanks so much for your time
