Can I create an M4A wrapper around IMA 4:1 AIFF audio?

Hey, I was just wondering if it's possible to wrap IMA 4:1 audio in an M4A container without re-encoding the audio. I have some AIFF files that are encoded in IMA 4:1, and translating this to Apple Lossless makes larger files (more than twice the original size). However, I want to use M4A containers so I can add iTunes tag information.
If it's not possible, I'll just go with Apple Lossless -- hard drive space is cheap these days. But it seems wasteful to re-encode the audio for no reason.

That's true, the audio encoding in IMA 4:1 is ADPCM. So basically what I'm trying to do is switch from an AIFF container to an M4A container, but keeping the same ADPCM-encoded audio stream.
I'm not too concerned about it, since I have very little audio encoded with IMA. I might as well just go with Apple Lossless and double the file size on those few files. I'll leave the question open though, in case someone does know a solution.

How can I create a white border around figures that are in an image? (CS 6; examples+image included)

Hi,
I have CS6 and am wondering how to create a white ("comic style"?) border around figures in an image, as in the examples below. I don't wish to include the black shadow of the border, just the white part.
Examples:
Here's the image I'd like to alter, making a white border around the outline of all five figures:
I researched for quite a while but could find no instructions. It would be very much appreciated if someone knows and would be kind enough to share the technique! Thank you.

If you make the image a layer (opposed to Background)...
You could Select the blue with the Magic Wand as Semaphoric says, then fill with white. Then choose Select - Modify Selection - Contract, and mask or delete the remaining pixels. The Contract operation will give you a nice border the size you choose.
For extra credit, you could use Refine Edge to make the selection more accurate.
Click to see the image against a dark background.

How can I create a black background around a closeup of a flower?

I want to have some of my close-up pics of flowers on a black background. Is there a way to do this with aperture? I use aperture on both my iMac and Macbook Pro.
Thanks for any help.

One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

How to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around

how to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around through a java program. now I can't access that dll like this directly from java.

Your question is unclear. (You haven't said what dll you are talking about.)
But:
If you are talking about an existing dll, then the only alternative to writing a wrapper is to use one of the wrapper generators floating around. Do a search on JACE.
If you are talking about a dll you are writing, then run jah and get the interface to match java right away; then you won't have to write a wrapper.

How can I create a vector path boundary around an image?

I have enclosed a screenshot of an image created in Photoshop CS4 with a wacom. It shows a grey boundary stroke around the entire image which was created with edit/stroke, then color and width of stroke selected.
What I want to do is to bring this image into Illustrator CS4 and create a vector path boundary aroun d the image in the same way as the stroke boundary in Photoshop. But I dont know how to do thatx except by doing it manually with the pen tool.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a vector path around the image in a similar way that I created the stroke line around the image in Photoshop?
I need the vector path to make a cutting line for a laser cutter, which works with vector files.
Thanks for any advice about this.

Not only should you draw the cut path deliberately with the Pen Tool, but that entire illustration should have been drawn as vector paths to begin with. In fact, if it were me, I would do that now anyway. It's nicely done, but illustrations like that are much more versatile and valuable as a vector drawings, because they are infinitely scaleable withou degradation of sharpness.
Had it been drawn as vector paths, generating the outset cut line could be semi-automated by merging a copy of all the paths and then just outsetting the resulting path.
Vector illustrations like that, consisting of just a few colored fills and strokes, can be entirely cut and assembled from sign vinyl at any scale, rather than resorting to merely printing the artwork and then cutting around it.
Edits (recoloring, reshaping) can be easily made to vector paths without degradation, because each path is a separate object.
And whenever you do need a raster image, a raster image suitable for any purpose can be exported from a vector drawing at any time. Each such rasterization is pristine, because no re-rasterization is involved.
Not meaning to preach you a sermon; it just seems so many visitors here who have only used raster imaging don't even understand the reasons why vector drawing exists. This kind of graphic begs to be created as vector paths, and is also the very kind which would be ideal for vector-drawing beginners to start with. So it's just a good case-in-point.

Hi,
ActiveX control may not be registered on your machine. It may have been
removed/cleaned from your machine, but one of its other components in the

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

How can I create my own iTunes music file?

I have an iPhone and want to put music on it. My son has created an iTunes application on our home computer and has dowloaded all his songs to it. I thought all I would have to do is to create a new user name or folder for my music and dowload away, but it does not appear to be that simple - or maybe I am simple! I created a new file and downloaded some music I had purchased from iTunes into the folder, but somehow all the songs went into my son's folder. Is there an easy way to to this so I can keep my music separate from his? Thanks!

Apparently classes like SoundbankResource and Instrument in the javax.ssound.midi package allow us to do that but I don't really understand how they work.The way the code is structured...
A Soundbank is a set of Instrument and/or SoundbankResource (An Instrument is a type of SoundbankResource and is just a subclass)
A SoundbankResource appears to be a class that contains either
(1) Intruments
(2) Sampled audio data
(3) MIDI Sequence data
Regardless of what the SoundbankResource provides, all it is is a wrapper around some sort of data object. It's job, in essense, is to return whatever it is holding in response to a getData() request.
In order to utilize a SoundbankResource, you'd have to wrap around an object that whatever Synthesizer you're using is capable of playing.
Probably the easiest way to implement your own custom Soundbank without using a soundbank editor (which may or may not work with JavaSound's engine when all is said and done) would be to write a custom Synthesizer that plays short WAV files, and build SoundbankResource objects to wrap around said short WAV files.

I can't create any new reminders on my iPhone 5S with iOS 8.

Hi.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.3. The problem I have is that I can't create any new reminders, at all. The problem started with my iPhone 4 (which I had before this phone), and I was using iOS 7 when the problem arose (but it didn't start immediately after I switched to iOS 7).
One day when I had the iPhone 4, I noticed that all my reminders had disappeared, and that I couldn't create any mew ones because the New List + button is grayed out. I didn't try to fix it until I got my 5S. I got to the "Scheduled" list and was able to type in a reminder (I thought I was a genius). But then when the time I'd set for the reminder actually came around, nothing happened, and when I checked Reminders, the reminder I'd entered was gone.
I tried using Siri to set a reminder but she said she couldn't.
I've tried Googling it, but it just says to press the + button to make a new list, and then start typing.
I recently got a MacBook Air which I synced up to my phone, and all my old reminders from my iPhone 4 are there, and I can create new reminders. Except they don't show up on my phone (which I think they're supposed to do, right?). They do show up on my computer, though.
I've taken to emailing myself things I need to remember, which is fine, I guess, but sometimes they get buried in my inbox.
Any help would be fantastic!
Also, if you'd like me to clarify anything, I'm happy to do so because I don't know how much sense this makes.
Thanks so much!

I have exactly the same problem. I discovered it yesterday.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2, just to note that we both are using different devices and different iOS versions. I will add here some screenshots of the problem.

Can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page?

I want to play meny video files in one jsp web page, these video files are to be played with the embeded plug-in of realplayer, each plug-in was linked(use its SRC property) a different video file. But, to my surprise, when I press the play button, every player played the same video file,not its specified file.
I have no idea why it did so and what can I do?
Whether can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page, that is to say, each instance is independent of others?
thanks in advance!

Generally speaking, Internet Explorer tries not to launch multiple versions of a plug-in. So what's happening is that you load the first video clip, and then before it has a chance to play, you load the second video clip into the same window. (It's like changing songs in WMA.)
In some cases - this may not work for Real Player, but it's worth trying - if you spawn a new window through a hypertext link and then launch the plug-in in that window, IE will treat it separately. Otherwise, you could not, for example, run two Macromedia Flash applications from different web sites at the same time.
Keep in mind that only one program can access the soundcard at a time, so Real Player may purposely "pause" or "cancel" other video streams until the active one finishes. If you were using the desktop version, selecting another video by any means aborts the currently running video (i.e., RP won't let you create a separate instance of it).
The easiest solution is to create a wrapper JSP file that takes the name of the video clip, and plays it. Call that JSP and specify that it should be opened in a new window via the TARGET keyword in the anchor tag. Then hopefully RP itself won't block a second window from running.

In preview how can i create an hyperlink annotation

I've upgradetd to mountain lion and i'd like to create a Link annotation on my PDF using Preview, but i cannot find the right tool
The Help says:
Click Annotate in the toolbar, if you don’t see the annotations bar.
Click Link in the annotations bar.
but i cannot find the "link" tools anymore.
Any hint?
Thanks

Preview used to be such a useful application, why has Apple removed so many functions?
1. Can't create a white box to white out an area - no way to remove the shadow.
2. "Save as" is back in Mountain Lion version but hidden behind the alt key
3. There is no hand function, so only possible to move the image around awkwardly via the scroll bars, or by drawing lines (sic)
4. Can't insert hyperlink text
5. Worst of all for me, it is no longer possible to "print selected pages". That was how one could:
Select exactly the pp one wanted to print - given that page numbering in pdf documents is often quite different from that in the view.
Create new pdf documents by selecting various images or pages and then saving them as a new pdf document in the Print menu
Create new pdf documents of just the pages one wanted, again by saving those selected in the Print dialogue.

When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
Type
man du
when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder. To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path. If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help. If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory. That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD

Hi All,
At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD. I have a requirement of creating 200 columns. Will there be any problem .
Is there any predefind number of columns for RPD creation??
Please help ..

Hi Annapurna,
There's no limit that I'm aware of or which is mentioned anywhere. Just as an example: I have a logical fact table with around 750 logical columns (>500 original measures & 250 derived measures). No issue whatsoever. Opening the presentation table through answers takes about 2-3 seconds (the NQSQL command has a lot to retrieve), but that's about it.
Cheers,
C.
