Can anyone spare a little time for a new user

Hi folks,
I am a ProTools user and just experimenting with Logic. I can use some of the more complicated things but there are 2 things that are really bothering me that I can't seem to easily figure out. its the most ILLOGICAL thing and drivin me mad, hopefully its so simple someone can help. I have actually asked another loyal Logic user these same Qs and it didnt work on my machine for some reason.
Prob 1: I want to make each track on the arrange page infinitely large and small vertically and horizontally. It will only let me zoom in vertically so that 1 track is about 1/3-1/2 my editing window height deep. The scale zoom things are at max there. How can I make one track fill the entire depth of my screen?? and when I record a long session, the horizontal zoom will only let me zoom OUT enough to see about 50mins on the screen. surely there must be a way I can zoom OUT enough that a 2 hr session will fill 1 inch or a small area horizontally, basically, again the zoom out scale thing is at max and i can only see about 50mins. this is the most silly thing I have ever encountered, why on earth doesnt it let you zoom out more? is it a simple setting i can just change?? how?? please help!!
prob 2: what are the shortcuts for zooming out and in and making a track larger and smaller vertically and horizontally. i have tried the arrow keys and every combination of apple-arrow keys shift-arrow keys- etc no joy. this is making my editing sooooooooo slow.
i really hope someone can help. thanks! clare

thanks for the replies people, and can i just say- this program should be renamed *******.
i think its great value, and i should really take more time to get to know it, BUT at the moment spending £6k+ for protools is a bargain, ONLY because i can just get on with exactly what I want to do! time=money=peace of mind etc. or more importantly time=musical productivity. or not in my case right here right now. sure, im sat on this forum reposting something when i could be getting on with music, but i really want to sort this out so i can get on with this program, quicker and easier, but its such a simple basic request i cannot believe that it does not accommodate this, its crazy.
i know a little about software programming and from what i know, its a v simple parameter the programmer can edit to allow more zooming. madness. anyway thank you so much for your time and energy and wishing you only the phattest of beats. clare xx

    by juggling the phone whilst washing up, I accidently dropped it in the sink, I had just became unemployed so no more insurance by a day..

    Tried connecting to Itunes it starts to restores then stops.
    any ideas in trying to get it to work or is that it, new phone required which I can not really afford at present.

    It's time for a new (replacement) iPhone.  Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider.  You may well receive some credit for your old one.

  • My photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here

    my photos won't "load" - it has worked fine for at least two years, but suddenly now when I plug in the chip, iPhoto opens up as usual, but the window just says "loading photos",  and the little wheel keeps on spinning - can anyone help me?? I am new here. I need to get it working again because we're about to go on a trip!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Is it time for a new one or can it be fixed.

    I have had my iPod classic for close to 4 years now and it has started to freeze during a song, won't come off hold, and won't light up though I can still see the song info. in the background. I have let it sit for awhile and have even tried to put it on the charger to see if it would do anything but there was no change. Its had problems before of freezing but not like this and at those times I was able to let it run dead and charge it back up again and it was fine. I don't know if it is fixable or if it time for a new one. I'm going to have to pay to get it fixed I know because the warrenty has been up for awhile and if it ends up being expensive I'll probably just end up buying a new one. I just want to know if anyone has an idea of what I should do or if anyone else has had the similar problem. Thanks you so much.
    -Ashley

    You actually don't have a Classic. The Classic has only been available since Sept 07. If you have any other questions to post, you might want to make sure that you post in the correct forum as you will generally get better answers. Use this article to determine which iPod you really have:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    And the button combo is menu+center button. All iPods freeze up occasionally, just like all computers do. In and of itself, it may be indicative of nothing.
    Best of luck.

  • Can anyone suggest a simple system for backing up my MacBook?

    I have a MacBook 120G which runs Tiger. I also have an Aiport Extreme, which is connected to a printer via USB. I want to buy an external hard drive to create a safety back up of my whole system. I have been trawling the suppliers' websites, getting more and more confused. Can anyone suggest the simplest solution for a simple-minded user like me? These are my main confusions:
    a) Can anyone suggest what type / make of hard drive I should buy in order to be able to store my computer's contents and re-boot it in the event of disaster? Will a non-powered hard drive do the job or is it somehow better to get a powered one? It would sit near my desk so I am keen to avoid fan noise if at all possible! I believe I'll need to 'partition' the drive in order to make it bootable, or something - if this is correct, what kind of hard drive is easiest and idiotproof for this?
    b) I think I've concluded it's not worth binning my Airport Extreme and replacing it with a Time Capsule. But is it worth buying Leopard in order to get Time Machine? I believe I can still use the Airport Extreme to connect to the hard drive so that Time Machine would make backups regularly and wirelessly? If so, do I need to use a USB hub from the Airport Extreme so that I can still keep the printer connected? I can only find one HD which has a built in hub - the Iomega Minimax - but I have read reviews saying the fan is noisy. Any other suggestions?
    Any help and suggestions about this would be very gratefully received. Many thanks
    Steve

    Leopard is a nice upgrade (if your computer has 2GB of memory) and TimeMachine is convenient but it isn't the only way to create a reliable and simple backup system. If you decide TM is your solution buy a drive that has 2 to 3 times as much space as you are using on your computer now. If you are using 80GB of your drive now, buy a 160GB to 240GB drive for TimeMachine. It keeps multiple backups and eats up drive space pretty quickly.
    Lots of good backup programs exist but the one I really like is called SuperDuper! It will create an exact duplicate of your hard drive and you can set up a schedule so that automatically backs up new and modified files at specific times/days. With my MacBook I connect it to my external drive on Friday evening and let SuperDuper! do its work overnight. If you chose this router or another that doesn't use TimeMachine, get a drive at least as large as your computer's hard drive.
    The Western Digital MyBook series is a good choice and so is the Seagate FreeAgent series. I'd avoid self powered external drives like Western Digital's Passport series unless you intend to travel with the drive. They require special proprietary cables to power the drive which are easy to lose and expensive to replace, among other things. If you can afford a firewire drive that's generally preferable because firewire is faster than USB but the speed difference isn't blazing. If you do you backing up over night speed won't be an issue.
    Whether you use TimeMachine or another program, this is just once phase of a backup plan. If you experience a break-in, fire, or flood the backup drive is probably going to experience the same fate as your computer. You also need to think about taking a backup of your most important files off-site. This can be as simple as once a month burning a DVD of your documents, digital photos, and email to a DVD and taking it to work.

  • Can anyone give me some documents for data cluster

    Hi,
    can anyone give me some documents for data cluster?
    ths!
    regards!

    Hi ,
    The following is a documentation on the <b>Data Cluster</b>:
    <b>Data clusters</b> are specific to ABAP. Although it is possible to read a cluster database using SQL statements, only ABAP can interpret the structure of the data cluster.
    You can store <b>data clusters</b> in special databases in the ABAP Dictionary. These are called ABAP cluster databases, and have a prescribed structure:
    <u><b>Cluster Databases</b></u> ( I have explained the cluster databse below )
    This method allows you to store complex data objects with deep structures in a single step, without having to adjust them to conform to the flat structure of a relational database. Your data objects are then available systemwide to every user. To read these objects from the database successfully, you must know their data types.
    You can use cluster databases to store the results of analyses of data from the relational database. For example, if you want to create a list of your customers with the highest revenue, or an address list from the personnel data of all of your branches, you can write ABAP programs to generate the list and store it as a data cluster. To update the <b>data cluster</b>, you can schedule the program to run periodically as a background job. You can then write other programs that read from the data cluster and work with the results. This method can considerable reduce the response time of your system, since it means that you do not have to access the distributed data in the relational database tables each time you want to look at your list.
    <b>Cluster Database :</b>
                    Cluster databases are special relational databases in the ABAP Dictionary that you can use to store data clusters. Their line structure is divided into a standard section, containing several fields, and one large field for the <b>data cluster.</b>
    <b>Creating a Directory of a Data Cluster</b>
    To create a directory of a data cluster from an ABAP cluster database, use the following statement:
    Syntax
    <b>IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO <dirtab>
                     FROM DATABASE <dbtab>(<ar>)
                     [CLIENT <cli>] ID <key>.</b>
    This creates a directory of the data objects belonging to a data cluster in the database <dbtab> in the internal table <dirtab>. You must declare <dbtab> using a TABLES statement.
    To save a <b>data cluster</b> in a database, use the <b>EXPORT TO DATABASE</b> statement .
    For <ar>, enter the two-character area ID for the cluster in the database. The name <key> identifies the data in the database. Its maximum length depends on the length of the name field in <dbtab>. The CLIENT <cli> option allows you to disable the automatic client handling of a client-specific cluster database, and specify the client yourself. The addition must always come directly after the name of the database.
    The IMPORT statement also reads the contents of the user fields from the database table.
    If the system is able to create a directory, SY-SUBRC is set to 0, otherwise to 4.
    The <b>internal table</b> <dirtab> must have the ABAP Dictionary structure CDIR.
    <b>******** Sample Program illustrating the data cluster .</b>
    PROGRAM Zdata_cluster.
    TABLES INDX.

  • Is it Possible in JSF? Can anyone recommend any java Technology for this?

    I am doing Post Graduate Degree in Computer Science. This is my final semester and doing project work.
    Any body having idea about my requirment, help and guide to me
    My description and questions are as follows:
    Current Approach:
    PHP has been used to achieve the flexibility of creating custom images on-the-fly. Using this approach we were able to create a web-interface similar to the application client, where we could display links and get the exact look and feel of the application client.
    Drawback:
    This approach forces us to use two different technologies Java and PHP, since our system uses 'Java' accessing all the API's from PHP becomes a problem. while PHP provides a way to invoke any java method. It comes with a draw back, the method calls are little slow. This delay's are loading of web-page.
    Requirment:
    1. Creating custom images on various locations of the screen
    2. The Exact look and feel of the application map should be achieved
    3. Place elements and links correctly as in application-client reflect any changes
    4. Generation events on the Links and Elements
    5. Setting Backgroud images for different maps
    Questions:
    1. is it possible in JavaServer Faces (BETA)?
    2. If it is possible is JavaServer Faces(BETA) How to create custom images and create interfaces among them?
    3.Can anyone recommend any java Technology for doing this?
    Anybody having idea, help and guide me for doing my project

  • Can anyone guide me any material for IDOC_INPUT_EEWAGECOMP_CREATE

    Can anyone guide me any material for IDOC_INPUT_EEWAGECOMP_CREATE
    Or any example will be appreciated

    Wow... brutal forum you chose here. I'm in the same class, and if it makes you feel any better, we didn't cover this content this semester. It was kind of a "trick" question, just to see if students could get anywhere with it. Personally, I'm surprised this instructor would do that, because on a final exam, that seems a little mean. For extra credit, sure, but not on the final.
    I've benefited from some extra boosts from a number of different forums this semester (no, I didn't just copy code, I looked and learned) and I haven't seen anyone treated so badly in any of them. I agree, we all need to find our own way, and try, etc, but a few of the responses sound like they're from people who talk a big game when they're hiding behind a keyboard, and who feel pretty comfortable passing judgement. I mainly just feel sad for those people, but then, that's just me passing my own judgement as well, isn't it?
    I wish I could help you, although at this point, it'd be too late anyway. If it makes you feel any better (I can't imagine why it would), I wasn't able to solve it either. The instructor did tell me that if your program doesn't work, you won't lose points, so try not to be too terribly disheartened. I understand your panic; I did well in this class, but not so well in another, and it will ruin my 4.0 GPA. It's hard to let go of some things, even when the "ethics police" are cramming their harsh words down your throat. I'll stick to my other forums, I think. I don't need to be insulted.
    Good luck to you! ;-)

  • How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session

    Hi ,
    How can I get the elapse time for execution of a Query for a session?
    Example - I have a report based on the procedure ,when the user execute that it takes say 3 min. to return rows.
    Is there any possible way to capture this session info. for this particular execution of query along with it's execution elapse time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You can use the dbms_utility.get_time tool (gives binary_integer type value).
    1/ Initialize you time and date of beginning :
    v_beginTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    2/ Run you procedure...
    3/ Get end-time with :
    v_endTime := dbms_utility.get_time ;
    4/ Thus, calculate elapsed time by difference :
    v_elapsTime := v_endTime - v_beginTime ;
    This will give you time elapsed in of 100th of seconds...
    Then you can format you result to give correct print time.
    Hope it will help you.

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?
