Does it matter or not?

I;m running 10.4.4. I have a Tiger 10.4 install disc. Does it do any harm when I boot and repair permissions from my Tiger 10.4 disc? Cos I've heard that there were some updates for disc utility after 10.4? I've just done a repair with the 10.4 and there were some permissions to be fixed (the r-x-rww-r should be - type of thing) and then I started up again on my 10.4.4 and ran DU again. Again, it found permissions to be fixed. I don't know if they were the same......but is this normal? Is it that the 10.4 fixed permissions according to a 10.4 setup and 10.4.4 fixed it back to an updated setup? What did it do?
Cheers

As I wrote when I answered a very similar question last week, Repair Permissions appeears to use data stored on the disk from which one has booted, not the disk one is repairing.

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

XML in Java: does encoding matter when it's only used for data?

Hi everybody,
I have a text document that I've converted into XML, and that I read into my Java program. The encoding I have to use to support accented characters, iso-8859-1, doesn't support certain characters, like curly quotes or em dashes. I'm not planning on displaying my XML document on a web page, just to use it as a data format for ease of access. (By the way, to everybody who's mentioned XML to me in the past, I finally realize how cool it is!)
Anyhow, after all that rambling, my question is: since I'm using characters that aren't supported by my encoding set, does it matter that the XML isn't "perfect" and has some characters in it that are technically illegal? Eventually I'm going to read it into a different Java program and just parse it, where I'll need those characters. I sort of got the impression that it didn't matter if you're not planning on displaying the XML on the web.
EDIT: I forgot one thing -- if it doesn't matter, does that mean I wouldn't need to have the "xml version" line at the top of the document?
Any clarification on this would be great!
Thanks,

You would have to make a cable that will plug into the Nano and serve as an antenna (the headphone cable serves this purpose) and triggers the radio without touching the headphone contact. There are some custom shops that can probably make such a custom jack/cable for you, should not cost you much more than $100 or so USD. But you will still have the problem that the jack you have made will preclude you from docking your Nano with the Anywhere 2.
A much more inexpensive solution would be to buy a cable like this: http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=4572 and connect it to the headphone jack on your Nano and to the audio in jack on the back of the Anywhere 2. The longer the cable the better antenna. You won't be able to charge the Nano while you listen, but you can do that after you are done listening to FM.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

No and Yes
Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.

OH! ...look, my filenames were changed... does it matter?

Heres something odd i have just noticed...
using dos the contents of my directories "used" to look like this:
c:\jEdu\JHTP\chptr3>dir
Ex3_1 (.java file)
Ex3_1 (.class file)
Ex3_2
Ex3_2
Ex3_3
Ex3_3
Ex3_4
Ex3_4
then using explorer i rearranged my dir names & copied my workinto my
new directory structure...and my filenames were changed...
c:\jEdu\JHTP\exerc\chptr3>dir
Ex3_1~1 java
Ex3_1~1 class
Ex3_2~1
Ex3_2~1
Ex3_3~1
Ex3_3~1
Ex3_4~1
Ex3_4~1
i know that the ~ means that the filename was too long...
but as you can see i have short filenames, i deliberately picked short filenames based on chapter & exercise numbers to explicitly avoid this problem... so what has happened that my filenames in dos have ~ added to them? In explorer they do not show the ~, they show the old names like
Ex3_2 java file (forte)
...i dont know.. does it matter?
have re-installed jdk & still havin trouble executing applets...
...trying to work out the bug, lets not go over whats wrong with the applet code... did that stuff all last week.

What you're seeing is normal. My 98SE uses a "~" in all .java and .class names (even short ones) when viewing the names in DOS. This is due to the truncation of .java to .jav and .class to .cla.
Examples:
Long File Name ==> DOS File Name
AnyLongName.java ==> ANYLON~1.JAV
OtherLongName.class ==> OTHERL~1.CLA
Button.java ==> BUTTON~1.JAV
Actor.class ==> ACTOR~1>CLA
ABC.java ==> ABC~1.JAV
A.java ==> A~1.JAV

Im using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to the new lion. Does it matter how i do it?

Im using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to the new lion. Does it matter how i do it?

Does your computer meet the requirements:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Recommended process:
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it best to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it better to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter? I want the best quality for any future unforeseen use.

I am somewhat reluctant to answer your questions after Frank Caggiano's excellent advice, but I really do not like to leave the question open, for there will be many occasions when you will need to export images and to understand how it works.
But please, follow Frank's advice, right now you do not need to worry about pixels and dpi. That is exactly what I meant, when I suggested to you to make sure you keep a copy of your Aperture Library and to back it up with all your other data, before you erase your disk for a clean reinstall.
DPI revisited:
So, is the dpi setting only for exporting to print?
The dpi settings are necessary to define the size of a digital image, since pixels don't have any dimensions. And since you cannot print or display an image without knowing its width and height, you will need to specify dpi when you are printing or scanning.
If I leave it at the default 72dpi will there be any problems getting quality prints in the future from jpeg versions exported with that setting?
Not if you export with the original size - the maximum number of pixels available. That will ensure the maximum print quality.
The dpi settings are required to export versions; versions are derived from the masters and new image files are computed. When you export masters you get a copy of the original file that already may have a dpi setting.
If I choose "export masters", will aperture will export my masters just as they are?
yes, and you may add IPICT data if you choose
Pardon my thick skull--I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks in this digital world!
No apologies necessary, we were all beginners once
Here is another example, maybe that helps a little:
I exported an image (jpeg) with three different setting: export masters, a version with 72dpi, a version with 300dpi and inspected the files in Graphic Converter:
The master was exported like this:
Notice, the master had already dpi settings, although I did not specify any on export.
The size is 51,48 cm x 38,61 cm.
The 72 dpi Version has larger dimensions, but also 10 Megapixels.
and here the 300 dpi version: smaller dimensions, same amount of pixels.

3 Airport expresses - in series or parallel - does it matter?

Long house with thick stone walls - like three terraced cottages in a row. Signal struggling to get through the walls, so putting one at the end where the phone socket is, one in the middle and one at the other end. Connected to each other by ethernet.
Does it matter if the AirPort eXpresses chain in a line, or should I bring the phone line to the middle one, put a socket in the back of that APx and take the two other one from that?
     Modem+APx ----------- APx ------------- APx
or
     Modem-------------------- APx
                                    |     |
                APx--------------|     |--------------APx

Does it matter if the AirPort eXpresses chain in a line,
They will work this way, but there is a potential downside....
If you place the AirPort Expresses in a chain or line, think of a situation where the middle Express has a problem. If it does, it will take out the Express at the end of the line as well.
or should I bring the phone line to the middle one, put a socket in the back of that APx and take the two other one from that?
If you make the Express in the middle your "main" Express, then if one of the Expresses at either end has a problem, it will not affect the other 2 Expresses.
Bottom line.....you want to "home run" each device back to the "main" device whenever you can in any installation.

Import or log and transfer? does it matter?

I am a handful of .mov's I'm using for a project and usually I just left click and import the folder full of .mov's. Does that have drawbacks? Or should I log and transfer?
or does it matter?

Without knowing more about your setup it's hard to say. It might matter. But maybe not. But we can't tell you more - until you tell us more.
See, when you refer to files simply as ".mov's" that doesn't tell us much. That just means that QT is going to want to play them back. But it says nothing of the real codec behind the movies. Meaning, the movies could be DVCPro, DVPro HD, DV, AVCHD, ProRes, AVI's, H.264, mp4...the list goes on and on.
So FCP is tuned to work with some of these codecs better than others. Telling us more about what going on "under the hood" with those .mov's will help us to guide you better.

When you're zooming/panning on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter what image format the stills were scanned and saved as???

I have several hundred stills that that were scanned at 600dpi in jpeg format. I know that 72dpi would be the norm for images in video, but I intend to zoom in at least 200% on many of the stills. So just to be on the safe side, I scanned them all at 600dpi.
In terms of panning and zooming on stills in Premiere Pro, does it matter that the images were scanned as jpegs rather than tiffs or png files? Will that cause problems in Premiere Pro CC for playback or does the image format not matter? If so, would it be wiser to convert all the jpegs to png or tiff files prior to importing into Premiere Pro CC? I understand that they would have to be tiffs or png files to have transparency for compositing purposes. But I only plan to do Ken Burns style moves on the stills, no compositing.
Thanks very much in advance.

DPI doesn't matter in video, look at the frame size of these images instead.

Yes, JPEG is a lossy compression format. TIFF, PSD, PNG are lossless compression and are a better choice for using for your purposes. However, do a test and see if the JPEGs might look OK so you don't waste time rescanning the images.
ninose11 wrote:

It should not matter much. The thing to be concerned about is the frame size. Using over 4000 pixels in either dimension is going to severely affect your performance. 3840 x 2160 (2x the HD frame size), I found, works well for most all landscaped oriented images. Try it and see if that works for you.

Convert? No, that would not help your images performance or quality. Try a test with a JPEGs and see if they work for you. Otherwise, rescan as TIFF, PSD, or PNG and resize the images to 2x the HD frame size.
Hope this post helps guide your decisions.

WLS app deployment -- does it matter where it's staged?

Newbie deployment question: I have a WAR file that I want to unzip to a directory, then install the app as an exploded directory.
At the point where I am deploying the app on the Managed Server in the Console, does it matter where this exploded directory is staged?
Or does it have to be stored in a particular stage directory known to WLS?

Hi,
It is not required that the exploded directory should be known to WLS. But the directory should be accessible(read and write prmission) from the same user from WLS is running.
Regards,
Kishore

Does it matter or not?
