Can anyone compile the Louis braille print app for 10.9?

"Louis" is a free Mac based braille app that translates text files to a "braille.brl" suitable for output to a braille printer. My wife has a version (1.4) running under an older copy of OS/X, but in 10.9/10.8 the ".brl" output file does not seem to be generated. The source code is supposedly downloadable from http://www.cucat.org/projects/louis/ .
I'm an old ****, and my background is in Fortran 66, C, C++ and a tiny tiny bit of Windows. I have Xcode, but have not sat down to play with it as yet. While I intend to get into it, it would take me a fair bit of time to learn the ins and outs. I hate to put my wife in a "holding pattern" since she currently uses Louis quite a bit.
If anyone could take a peek and give me an idea as to whether they could try to recompile and generate a workable executable for 10.9 I would appreciate the feedback There may be reasons I have not found a more recent recompile of this source, so any input would be appreciated.

Program generates a file ( braille.brl by default) that is then output to the braille printer. Under 10.9 that file is not even initially created it would appear. I know that the actual text to braille library is open source with current version available (at http://www.liblouis.org). I have touched base with the original developer, but he is tied up with work/ life etc so he can't jump on this right away at this time. I think this might be something he did 7-8 yrs ago in younger less pressing days.
It runs runs fine under 10.6.8. It was originally downloaded as a precompiled program. It uses the Apple UI.
Here is is a link to a screen video of the app and it's problem

Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again.

Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

How can I get the family base companion app for my daughters iPhone 4s?

I recently added my daughter to my plan and I purchased family base. I was wondering if there was any way to get the family base companion app on her iPhone 4s.

Hi Davona78!
The FamilyBase service is a great service that allows parents to monitor and control their kid's phone usage, including calls, text, picture and video messages, data, contacts and app usage. Although the FamilyBase companion application is not currently compatible with Apple devices, you can still subscribe to the service and manage the lines using the iPhone Mobile Web. See more information here: http://vz.to/1thEl5r (see Question# 7). Thanks!

Can anyone provide the VI of current measurement for Agilent34901A channel21 and 22?

I want to measure the current by the Agilent34901A channel21 or 22. The HP34901A installed on the Agilent34970A is connected to the computer via GPIB Bus. Does anyone have the subvi for this measurement?

If you have the 34970A driver from NI, open HP34970A EZ Voltage.vi. On the diagram, the first string you'll see is "MEAS:VOLT:". Change this to "MEAS:CURR:". Save the modified VI as HP34970A EZ Current.vi. If you want, you can add this VI to HP34970A Single Point.vi just by adding an item to the "Function" slider and adding a new case.

Can anyone suggest the best external hard drive for MAC PRO?

As my tower is whirring like the proverbial jet, I was told at the Genius Bar to back everything up before trouble-shooting. I've researched various 500 GB ext. hard drives, but they all seem to have drawbacks. My biggest priority is reliability. Any ideas? Thanks.

You will find suitable products at MacSales.com or you can purchase a hard drive separately and install it in an external Firewire enclosure. You will find enclosures at:
MacSales.com
CoolDrives.com
FirewireDirect.com
NewEgg.com
In the future please choose the proper forum for your topic. You posted this question in the MacBook Pro forum instead of the Mac Pro forum.

Can anyone spot the error in this script for iTunes?

This AppleScript is designed to copy the Name and Artist of an iTunes track, then populate the Album Artist field with both, separated with an oblique. But when I run the script in iTunes, it only pastes the Artist name in to the Album Artist field and not the whole string.
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then -- if tracks are selected...
set sel to selection
set numTracks to (length of sel)
set s to "s"
if numTracks is 1 then set s to ""
display dialog "Adds the name of the track and the name of the artist to the Album Artist field." & return & return & (numTracks & " track" & s & " selected.") buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2 with title "Create Album Artist" giving up after 30
if gave up of result is true then return
repeat with t from 1 to numTracks
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
end repeat
else
display dialog "No tracks have been selected." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0 giving up after 30
end if -- no selection
end tell

Hello
Try -
tell item t of sel
set album artist to (get artist) & " / " & (get name)
end tell
instead of -
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
In your original code, the left and right value of assignment are both list, i.e. -
left value = {album artist}
right value = {get artist, "/", get name}
Consequently 'album artist' is assigned to the 1st item of the list at right, which is the result of 'get artist'.
In order to avoid this, don't use list assingment, which is not necessary at all here.
Also, I think you may just tell item t of sel, not contents of item t of sel.
Hope this may help,

MN05: setting the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors

Hi all,
by t.code MN05 I can set the number of copies of the MM documents printed the FIRST TIME. I can do it for doc.type or vendor.
I can't set the number of printer copies for the whole range of vendors. Should I do it for each one of them?
Thanks
Gandalf

Unfortunately,
setting for document type, it doesn't work for all range of vendors.
Setting for document type, in the field "PartF" I've put in "OA". Could it depend on it?
you do for document type and then it will cover all range of vendors.
If you want prints for a specific vendor then set condition recrod for that vendor only.
regards

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

"Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
"Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.
