Does anybody know the itunes startup switches / command lines?
I have 2 itunes librarys and dont like having to hold Shift when I open itunes every time to switch itunes librarys.
I want to create 2 shortcuts to itunes on my desktop, each containing a switch / command line to open the desired library
Does anybody know what the switches / command lines are to startup itunes?
As far as I know, the only arguments iTunes.exe supports is a path to a file to start playing (music or video). You can't tell it via command-line switches to open a certain library.
I do however have a helper program that will do what you want. You give it the path to your library folder as an argument, so you have to create shortcuts to my exe, with the library folder as the argument.
For example, if the path to one of your iTunes Library is C:\library (i.e. inside C:\library is the file "iTunes Library.itl", the "iTunes Music" folder, etc.), then the shortcut target would be:<pre>C:\itunesopenlibrary.exe -b C:\library</pre>
The program works by editing the iTunes Prefs.xml directly, then starting iTunes. The -b switch is to make a backup of the prefs file before editing it. Note, however, that it only makes one backup; the next time you run itunesopenlibrary.exe with "-b", it will overwrite the last backup.
Download the program here:

The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional)
HTH,
Rob

Does anybody know the exact date when iOS 6 will be released?
Does anybody know the exact date when iOS 6 will be released? I know it will be coming out in the Fall, but I was wondering if anybody knew the exact date.
no one but apple knows for sure, and I'm willing to bet at this point in time all they have is a target date (if the software package was done it'd be released)
Bear in mind also, the first 48-72 hours after the software's release it's often quite challenging to get the update or it takes a lot of time because you're one of millions that are trying to get on the servers. So release date and available/accessible date can be separated by a bit. -
My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?
I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.

Does anybody know the app cleaner
does anybody know the app cleaner???
is it good?? my macbook is getting very slowI doubt that AppCleaner is going to speed up your Mac - unless you're short on hard drive space. Some companies have uninstall instructions or even apps on their websites for uninstalling their software. Use these instructions/apps if at all possible.
I've used AppCleaner a couple of times just to get rid of as much auxiliary junk as I can... but my use of it is limited only to those apps which I know haven't made any system modifications.
Be warned - without instructions/apps for uninstalling is the best method of uninstalling applications. Use AppCleaner only as a last resort.
See thomas_r's -> How to uninstall software.
Good luck,

Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images
Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images?
I saw it somewhere on some site ages ago
(I like to align images together and take another screen grab without the darn shadow and without opening another app)I found this:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer
but this soesn't seem to work
and this
To get rid of the shadow and only capture the window, enter this line of code in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
Then to implement the change, enter:
killall SystemUIServer
To revert the modification and restore shadows, enter:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
doesn't work either in Mountain Lion -
Macbook Air failed wifi connection - Does anybody know the solution?
Macbook Air has been connecting to Wi-Fi network without issue for almost 2 years.
Haven't been able to find a solution to 'failed Wi-Fi connection' so far.
Wi-Fi is turned on but is not connected to a network.
Wi-Fi Settings Failed.
Have tried trashing:
Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.eapolclient.configurat ion.plist
Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.identification.plist
Networkintefaces.plist
And restart, but no change.
Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
1.6GHz Intel Core i5
Does anybody know the solution?Had restarted the router a few times to no avail.
Checked out the vendor's website, but wasn't able to find anything of use, -it was limited options wise.
Nothing in the OS X recommendations for Wi-Fi settings jumped out me.
I wasn't able to experiment with the band/channel settings.
I ended up buying a USB/Ethernet adaptor so I could at least have access to the net (5 days ago), -which didn't change the Wi-Fi issue...
However, after a couple of days without use, I've woken the machine and noticed the Wi-Fi signal at full strength. The network is detected and connected!

BW experts: I have to extract GL data into BW, and I was assuming I would use 0FI_GL_4 datasource. However, I began looking around and see now 0FI_GL_10. I am not knowledgable on the finance side at all in SAP, so I don't know which extractor makes sense to use. Does anybody know what the difference is between these two extractors.
Kind Regards,
Christhese two datasources are different from each other.
If you are still using the old GL - you need to use 0FI_GL_4
If you are still using the NEW GL - you need to use 0FI_GL_10
And one more thing to keep in mind id 4 extractor is meant for line items and 10 is for totals. And there is no std line item DS for NEW GL. You need to create ur own. -
HT4914 does anybody know if Itunes match rename my songs with the right name?

Connect the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not to a hub, but do not connect to the phone yet
Launch iTunes
Hold HOME and SLEEP buttons on the phone until the screen turns black, then release SLEEP but continue holding HOME
Connect the cable while holding HOME and wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in Recovery mode

Currency Conversion Rule Does Anybody know the answer to this?
Hello All-
I am trying to understand a script for currency converison planning application. I am 9.3.1 and its is a out of box application. I was going through the following script :
1st part of script is simple
FIX("Actual","FY10",jan,feb,mar,apr,may,june,july,aug,sept,oct,nov,dec,"HSP_InputValue","Final",@LEVMBRS("Accounts",0),@LEVMBRS("Entities",0),))
DATACOPY "Local" TO "USD";
DATACOPY "Local" TO "GBP";
ENDFIX ;
2nd part of script :
ELSEIF (@ISUDA("Entities","GBP") AND @ISMBR("USD"))
"Local" * "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_GBP" / "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_USD";
ELSEIF (@ISUDA("Entities","USD") AND @ISMBR("GBP"))
"Local" * "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_USD" / "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_GBP";
I am concerned about the second part where in for all the entities that has UDA GBP converts the values in USD & vice versa.
I went to the table in plnning web where we store the FX rates. At the top i can see a drop down for "To currency" which is USD, and in planning terms my guess is this is the base currency for the application? Then in row i see GBP and
in method it says "Multiply" and going forward it has all the avg and end rates stored for the Time periods. I want to know what this "Multiply" means? i retreived the rates on spreadsheet and found HSP_Rate_USD ==1. So above in the
second part of the script for USD entities and memeber GBP it divides USD rate by GBP Rate (1/ GBP rate) and i am not sure what rate we get by doing this division. I was assuming that it would take the local amonut and divide directly
with "HSP_Rate_GBP" ? For rest of the currencies as well its doing the same math. The 1 for "HSP_Rate_USD" is this a default value stored when application is created ?
Please advise!
Thanks!
Edited by: user4958421 on Mar 12, 2010 7:10 AMSeems to be OK - assumptions:
- USD is your base currency ("Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_USD" = 1)
- exchange rates are defined as so that when you multiply them with the USD value, you receive the value in the given currency
Let's simplify the formula:
"ELSEIF (@ISUDA("Entities","GBP") AND @ISMBR("USD")) " means
If the local curreny is GBP and my reporting currency is USD
Then USD = value in "Local" currency" * exchange rate GBP
Calculation steps:
(1)
- Local" * "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_GBP" / "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_USD";
- and ("Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_USD" = 1
(2)
- Local" * "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_GBP" / 1;
(3)
- Local" * "Version"->"Currency"->"Entities"->"HSP_Rate_GBP" ;
Simple or not? -

Does anybody know when iTunes Match will be available in Austria?
thanks for infos
Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
Many will not read such posts.
There is no way to know such a thing unless Apple announces. Whenever Apple and the TV industry/distributors in New Zealand are able to reach an agreement for the rights to sell content, then they will be able to do this. -
Does Anybody know the difference between M9088G/A and M9089G/A?
I have iMac G4 17" Flat Screen(800Mhz).
I want to add more memory in it.
Apple has two part number for 512MB PC133 144PIN module.
One is M9088G/A the other one is M9089G/A.
I am wondering whether both are compatible or not.
iMac G4 17" Flat Screen(800MHz) Mac OS X (10.4.6)Welcome to the discussions!
Do yourself a huge favor and take a look at OWC where that same RAM is almost half the price.
Apple does not make RAM and they seriously overcharge for it. OWC guarantees their RAM is Mac compatible and have a lifetime replacement warrantee. -
I've fried my USB ports... does anybody know the model # for my motherboard
My usb ports are fried on my G5 and the apple suggested that I should add an internal usb card, which I did. However, sometimes it won't recognize my ipod and won't charge my ipod.
I'd like to exchange the whole motherboard and I've seen some on ebay but I am not sure abou the part number. Any ideas how I figure that out?You can click on the specifications link near the top of the page and find the model number of your machine. Then, you can go to WeLoveMacs.com and see the available service parts (and their part numbers), by model number.
Be prepared for some sticker shock on a logic board.
I agree with hatter, though. Probably easier to find a better USB card. -
Frequently the WIN NT 4 System hangs up when I start a LabVIEW Can Application. ( i.e. the NI CAN Examples.)
If I'm able to start the application it works propperly. I'm using the two ports of the PXI CAN Controller to test the communikation. ( CAN0, CAN1 )Be sure that the card is plugged in tight. Do any other PXI cards work in the chassis? If not, there may be something wrong with the PXI hardware.
Also, be sure to install the latest CAN drivers from ni.com.
