Capturing drop & non + combining the two in a FCP project

First off, please excuse what I'm sure are pretty 101 type questions, if you could please shed some light on this I'd appreciate it. I'm capturing a series of NTSC DV tapes in FCP 6 in which some appear to have been shot at 29df and others at 29ndf, so these are my questions:
1) It doesn't appear that upon capturing, FCP allows you to make a choice between capturing 29.97df or 29.97ndf, it just has 29.97 period. Does this mean it looks to the code on the tape to decide whether it's drop or non-drop?
2) Are there any potential issues in combining drop and non in a single timeline as long as they're both 29.97?
3) If I know I'm never going back to the tape again and my new master is my capture, is there any issue in forcing the clip to have non-drop code in Modify>Timecode to keep it consistent with the 95% of my other footage which is non-drop?
Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

No problem. It's a rather confusing subject.
Answers:
1. Yes, it looks to the code on the tape. Every frame on the tape already has a number assigned to it whether in drop or non-drop form. You really wouldn't want FCP to just make up numbers; you wouldn't be able to re-capture otherwise.
2. You shouldn't have any problems with combining the two. It's just a way of counting frames. Nothing else.
3. If you aren't going back to tape, you could modify the code, but why? It won't make any difference in your editing. Again, it's just a way of counting frames.

I have two iTunes account. How do I combine the two??

Did you recieve any response on your questions? I have teh same one can we load two itunes accounts onto one device? It seems apple should have some fix to address this...thanks for any insight you can provide.

HT3819 If my partner & I both have an iTunes account, can we home share both or somehow combine the two accounts?

If my partner & I both have an iTunes account, can we home share both or somehow combine the two accounts?

As of right now there is no way to combine Apple accounts.
As for "sharing", you can go into the iTunes settings for each and turn on Home Sharing, this will make your music libraries available to each other, provided you are both using different computers.

Terribly sorry Joseph Kriz. I had absolutley no intention of annoying anyone. This was the first time I have been communicating in a discussion group, and as I wrote my comments I had no idea how my typing would reflect and where my question would be going. Hope my unintentional typing will be forgiven and causes no further agitation.The only additional comment I can make on your response is that "I do not use capital letters or CAPS LOCK while I try to enter my administrator password". Thank you for guiding me

I've transfered my backup files from an external hard drive to my Mac; how do I get combine the two "users" on my Mac so I only have one?

I've had to re-install my backup files from to my MacBookPro after a software repair wiped out all my data. Now I have two Users identities on my laptop. Is there a way to combine them or get rid of one?

Drag one account's home folder to the other account's desktop, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, and delete that account.

1 OSX Lion Mission Control vs Snow Leopard Expose can't we combine the two (by leaving older Expose options inside) and get Apple back to leaping forward again?

So I am a web/software developer and I am having major beef with OSX Lion's Mission Control. While I think Mission Control and Application Windows are interesting additions to the multi-tasking nature and scheme of the OS, removing the older Expose Spaces and All Windows is a huge mistake. Couldn't Apple have just left all of the old stuff in? Then the system would be complete. As pretty as Mission Control and Application Windows is, the older Snow Leopard Spaces and Expose moved much faster and tamed all of my apps in a very efficient way.
Here is why Mission Control is not as fast as Spaces and Expose:....
1. With Spaces all of the desktops and their connected monitors were consolidated to one monitor in which you can easily see everything going on from a birds eye view. You cloud easily drag open windows between them freely and even swap spaces. This was huge because you could see everything. You could even activate All Windows over Spaces and see everything..Mission Control will group everything but you can't move programs across desktops unless it's the main desktop to the little desktop. Nor can you move windows across monitors. This is frustrating. Also the desktop are split to their respective monitor so I no longer have a birds-eye key-map access.
2. All Windows is so necessary and slick. Mission Control or Application Windows can't quite keep up. If I have a cluttered desktop and hit all windows, I can get any window at any time no matter how buried it is. Application Windows is useful but only applies to the focused application…but what if it's buried? I have to activate mission control first, select one of the windows from the program group, then activate Application Windows to get to that window. Also if there are many windows open for an application, Mission Control cannot replace All Windows because they stack and you can't quite tell which of the windows you want is accessible in that stack.
The bottom line is, put both of them together! Keep the old functionality as an option, because truth be told, the old way of doing things is still considerably faster under heavy work loads. I would use the Snow Leopard expose features more often. There is still room for Application Windows and Mission Control, but even after re-training myself I feel I'm moving at 70% of the multitasking speed that I used to move at before using Snow Leopard Expose. I mean this legitimately, I develop using multiple OS's along with video chat and instead of being a leap forward, Lion is a step backward and that just isn't like apple, everything Apple has done has been leaps and bounds forward. Let's leap forward and not only have all the sweet new features that Lion offers, but combine with the productive features that really moved and maybe just integrate into Lion's style. Bottle that and you have something sweeter than Yoohoo.

I completely agree with airbnboy. I used to be able to quick organised different windows within the same app to different spaces (now "desktops" for no apparent reason). This worked very smoothly in expose/spaces. I'd use one gesture to get to spaces, then another for expose, and I'd have all my windows in all spaces visible.
Now, I can't even see all of my windows in specific to one desktop! The best I can do is double scroll to see *some parts* of the windows on a desktop. So now, selecting a window for a specifc app is huge pain.
Worse than this, on moving windows from a desktop to another in, Mission Control will change the ordering of the stacks (per app, not the windows in the stacks). Umm, what is the possible benefit there?
So, now there is no use of spatial memory - e.g. Window X for App Y was in the top left of all my windows in the top left space, and I want to move it now. It's no longer possible to see all app windows in a specific "desktop", and much more effort is required to move windows around.
Great, well done Apple. Can we please, please have Expose and Spaces back as an option? Or at the very least, some way to view all windows for a specifc app on a specific desktop - and by "view", I mean see the whole window, not just a tiny indicator of the window, or a slightly expanded stack that may not give enough context.
The only reason I "upgraded" to Lion was to get XCode 4.2.

Can we combine the two tables for Report Painter

Hi,
For making the report in Report Painter, I am not getting all the required characteristics and Key figures all in one table / Library.
The required ones are in Table KKBC, GLT0 and CCSS.
Is it possible to combine these tables and make a new one so that I can create the Library and can use that Library while making the report in Report Painter.
Or is there any other work around to get the my required charcateristics and Key Figures so that I can make the report easily?
I dont want to go through ABAP route.
Kindly help.
Regards
Kami

Thanks Bulut for your reply,
But by going through View creation involves ABAP help, that I dont want.
However, is it poosible to use View while creating the reports in Report Painter? I am not sure.
I want to know whether can we create a table which is used for report painter, so that I can use for creating the Library and then the reports.
I hope you understand my point.
Regards
Kami

When i bought my new iMac recently i transferred all my photos from pc to iPhotos then i recd an update that gave me Photos how do i combine the two into one photo library and which should i choose?

When i recently bought my new iMac, i transferred my photos from the old pc. then i recd an update which introduced the Photos...so now i have two photo repositories and i only want one. how do i get them together and how can i easily find duplicates to delete? and which library should i choose.

When you launch Photos for the first time it will import all of your photos from iPhoto. iPhoto is going away eventually and Photos is the replacement. For the time being both apps will remain on your system but you should start using Photos exclusively for the future.

Can you combine the two sides of an Xserve RAID into a single drive?

I am looking to combine my Xserve sides into a single drive so that it will be more efficient for storing beyond hi-def video. I have an Xserve RAID with 14x750GB drives which format in RAID5 down to 4.09TB per side. I want to create a singe 8.18TB drive from these.
Is there an easy way to do it?

Thanks for the info William, I did backup a few important files before this happened, but I would like to get to a few more.
It happened when our IT guy was showing me how to create a new RAID set. He created a set while explaining a few things, then selected the new one he made, and deleted it. Right then, both sets disappeared and were deleted, the empty one he made, and the one we needed. I was watching him, and he didn't select both, just the empty one he'd made. So, I was hoping that there would be a work around just so that I could maybe use a data rescue utility to possibly pair the 2 together long enough for me to back up some files.
If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.
thank you.

HT203167 I have another email account that has a bunch of music on it. However, I'm uncertain how to combine the two accounts? can anyone help?

I had another account that years ago I downloaded a bunch of music. I was wondering if there's any way I'm able to get the music from then into my library now. I've spent the money, can I have the product please?
Can anyone help?
Thank you

The music you purchased belongs to you forever. Simply authorize the computer using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase it.

I downloaded Firefox 4 successfully, but it did not incorporate all my info from previous version (history, bookmarks, tabs, etc.). How do I combine the two?

Current download of Firefox 4 successful, but it did not include info from the previous version such as bookmarks, history, tabs and the like.

I am currently using version 3.6.3 because it has all the information that I need to use the internet. version 4.0 did NOT incorporate all history and so forth (including tabs, bookmarks) when I downloaded it, as previous downloads had. I will continue to use the older version until someone can help me figure out how to merge the information from the older version with the newer one. The posted answer was greek to me and did not help.
