Does anyone know about iPad use for Patients diagnosed with ALS ?

My Mom was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and has lost her voice. She has been using my sisters iPad to communicate. And I want to thank Apple for creating such a great device, but I want to know if anyone out there has had any experience or knows of any ALS patients who have used an iPad for primary communication. Thank you.

You might start with contacing any local or national ALS support organizations. I would think they would be a better source of specific use information that this forum. A response here is likely to be more hit and miss than anything else.

  • Does anyone know about a VI for the NI USB-9211 thermocouple DAQ?

    I just bought a USB-9211 from NI. It works fine if I run the VI, executable, that comes with it. However, I would like to change the LabVIEW code to play with the temperature data that I am collecting, but since the CD came with executables only, I can't access the code. I have never collected data from a USB-port before, so I guess if I had a code that would allow me to collect the data coming into the USB port, that would help me a lot. Does anyone know of a code I can use?
    Thanks,
    -jc

    Hello jc,
    If you click on the following link, it should take you to some example code written for the USB-9211. In the zip file there should be a VI as well as an executable. I'm assuming that the executable is the same one that you have seen. However, the VI should show you how to use the DAQmx Base driver to do thermocouple measurements with the USB-9211.

Anyone let me know whether you work there or  have done this before.

    Restore the phone using iTunes. First time restore your backup. If the problem is not fixed restore again, and this time set up as New.

  • I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (to be played by iTunes). Bit didn't fixe the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, please help!

    I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
    It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
    I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
    Thanks, from Amsterdam, NL

    Did you do the move via Home Sharing, astro?
    If so, perhaps try the instructions from the following post:

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Does anyone know which companies use VirtualBox for Product QA testing?

    Hi guys,
    I am doing Software QA testing and currently looking into using virtualization tool.
    Does anyone know which companies use VirtualBox for Product QA testing?
    I know there are alot of companies using VMWare, but have never heard of any using VirtualBox?
    Help me out with the list. Does Oracle ever use their own VirtualBox for testing their own range of products?

    Well, Oracle uses internally more & more VirtualBox and we see more & more companies using VB instead of VMWare.
    Very similar, maybe VB better in memory management

  • Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?

    Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?

    Yesterday I set up a Canon IP3600 to work on a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11. It is a print-only unit. I got the 10.4 drivers off the Canon website before connecting the printer. Many Brother printers still have support for older Mac OS versions.
    If you need a multi-function device, it is gettng very hard to find any that support PowerPC Macs (pre-2006) of OSX versions older then 10.6 any more.
    As you posted in the PowerPC iMac forum I assume you have one. However, there are some Intel Macs (2006 and newer) still running 10.4. Check "About this Mac" under your Apple menu: if it says you have an Intel processor, you have many more doors open.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Does anyone know how to use vlookup from a pop up menu to retrieve another pop up menu?

    Does anyone know how to use vlookup from a pop up menu to retrieve another pop up menu?

    BM,
    Pop-Up menu format is not dynamic. It is created in the Cells Inspector and can't be modified contingent upon the state of other cells.
    You could program a table to list the options available for the previous selection, but it wouldn't be in the form of a Pop-Up.

  • Does anyone know how to use ATV with a keynote presentation?

    Does anyone know how to use ATV with a keynote presentation? Is it possible?
    Thanks.

    Yes use Quicktime. Try to create a presentation that uses a widescreen aspect 1280 x 720 would be good, then export it at full quality which should give you a movie of 720p at 24 fps and should be just fine for the tv, if you have any problems with exporting it this way, you could try manual settings or simply run the export you made at full quality through itunes using advanced/create an Apple tv version.

  • Does anyone know if the beta for iMessage is down

    does anyone know if the beta for iMessage is down

    Hi,
    Can I check the following ?
    You have people in your Address Book with iPhone Numbers and/or Apple IDs listed ?
    In Messages beta you are starting with a "New Message" either from the File Menu or the icon on the top of Messages main window ?
    With a "New Message" showing you are using the blue icon that appears top right
    In this Menu drop down you are selecting Contacts and then a person from the list ?
    You are selecting this person on their iPhone or Apple ID that you know they use in iMessages ?
    You are saying that their name goes red when it is in the "To" Spot.
    Pic of a Name that has gone Blue
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    Messages may or may not have the little Speech bubble next to a Contact point as it can depend where you are in your Sync process and which Contacts you have already had.
    If the contact goes Red it could be that an email you are using is NOT an Apple ID, or it has not been linked to iMessages yet.
    It could also be that they are out of range in one form or another.
    Messages can't tell which Numbers are iPhone Numbers until the other person has Registered/Linked it to thier Apple ID or you have contacted them.
    I have had issues where In my Mac's contact List I keep only the "Local" phone number where Messages Needs the +(Country code)  bit as well.
