Dragging Channels To Layers Help Needed

Hi Folks,
I've been working with the tutorial link below to get rid of some stains, While I have no problem working directly on the channels, I'm lost as to what it means to drag the channels onto layers. I can't seem to find a reference as to how to do this. Most likely I don't have to correct term when I'm searching.
Any help or point to a reference would be a big help.
"I normally drag the channels out onto layers to make the repairs. This gives much more control, especially if graduated masks are required. On this occasion and for the sake of simplicity I've made the repairs directly on the channels."

Thanks,
Chuck

I think what he useallydoes is to drag the channel to the new channel icon in the bottom of the Channels palette. This creates a duplicate of the channel draged was a new alpha channel with the name Channel xxx copy. Then they would select that channel and work on it. When done they may replace the original channel with the worked on contents of the copy or blend it in some way.

Project Layering Help Needed

Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of updating my portfolio site using Flash Catlyst and am having some layering issues.
Under the 'Graphic' tab, I have the first two buttons set up how I want, but as you will see, the layering causes the buttons to appear in front of the image in the Toggle Button when selected. Not what I'm looking for. The first image is how I want it to appear when the image is enlarged, the secnd is the issue with the button showing in front of the image due to layering.
I've tried to combine the buttons as a custom/generic component, but the same problem still occurs.
Anyone have any suggestions or fixes for this?
Thanks!

Thanks for forwarding me the file. I found the issue. In the original design, you combined the thumbnail and the large version of the image into a single toggle button. This means that all of its elements existed in one layer. The result is the large image that you want to appear as an overlay can never be higher in the visual layering than the component. Hence the issue you were seeing.
You need to separate the thumbnail elements from the overlays in order for the layering to function properly. To work around the 20 page limit in Catalyst, I turned all the overlays into a custom component. The first page is blank, so it can be on the screen and have no affect on the thumbnail buttons.
I uploaded a demo of a solution for you.

Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

"Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
-The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
-When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
How do I make 5. render properly on vista

We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue. All is now mostly well.
Peace...

Help needed with itunes

help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

(Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

Beige G3 upgrade help needed

Hello everybody.
I have a few questions about upgrading the G3 if anyone would be willing to help.
First of all, I must tell you that I am new to the apple world, having been for most of my life a PC/windows user.
The story so far:
I was given a beige G3 desktop by a friend who had upgraded to the G5. I decided to use the G3 as a web browser and general 'lifestyle' computer as I use my PC for business.
However the G3 was a little old and outdated as it was for my needs.
G3 266MHz
256MB RAM
6 MB VRAM
6GB HDD
Mac OS 8.6
I couldn't even get it online as the modem cable had been lost long ago (it had been connected to my friends office network)
I tried building a modem cable myself out of a printer cable and a PC modem cable and that, as you can imagine, failed in a major way.
I did a bit of research and found out that OSX can connect to a windows network so I set about getting a copy of jaguar.
Once I got hold of a copy of jaguar (from applerescue £28 inc delivery)
I installed it without a problem and connected to my windows network allowing me to utilise my existing broadband connection.
Excellent, thought I, but why stop there.
I have built and upgraded many pc's in my time and I had a few components hanging around. Will they work in the G3?
One way to find out.
The first problem I encountered was one of cables and space. As you all probably know the beige G3 does not have much room inside for extras.
I also found that the desktop case was not suited to the environment. It took up way too much space on my desk. I couldn't put the monitor on top of it as it is a big heavy 20inch crt (my friend is a graphic designer) and there is a shelf over my desk that prevents it. However there was a space under my desk which the case would fit in perfectly, if only it was on its side.
Merely putting the case on its side didn't help. The design of the case meant that the thing kept falling over. The cds would fall out too and I had no idea what damage it would do in the long term.
So, junior hacksaw and drill in hand, I set about a major conversion.
A day later I had sucessfully ripped all the components from the G3 case and fitted them in a standard ATX PC case. Now it fits under my desk perfectly.
I fitted the original apple PSU inside the case and fitted the ATX PSU on top.
I spent a little money online and got a 1GHz G3 upgrade from OWC.
(A brief word about OWC. Ordered Sunday evening, package delivered with no VAT or customs charges on Wednesday! Better delivery than a UK vendor and loads cheaper too!)
I used some PC100 RAM I had lying around from a previous PC build.
Standard crucial 184pin SDRAM. Worked no problem. I ordered an extra stick of RAM along with the CPU upgrade.
So I now have a G3 in a ATX tower case.
1GHz G3 CPU
768 MB RAM
Original 6 GB hard drive
Extra 17GB hard drive
Mac OS X
Loads of extra room inside for extras.
I run the hard drives and the motherboard plus a heatsink/fan on the CPU from the apple PSU and the optical drives and a few extra fans from the second PSU.
Sorry that was a long read but I tend to get carried away when I am talking about computers.
Here are some problems I am having which I hope you kind, clever people can help me with.
1. I have a missing hard drive.
I have two ATA hard drives on the internal IDE channel 0 which work fine-ish (see question 2)
I have the original apple CDROM as master on internal IDE 1 and a small 1GB hard drive as slave on internal IDE 1. The small hard drive doesn't show up on the desktop. I can see the drive in disk utility but I can't do anything with it. It is not greyed out but any erasing or partioning gets so far then just stops. However, opening disk utility during installation doesn't have the same problems. I can erase and partition the drive and it shows up with the second listing under the name of the disk. Once OS X is installed it shows up on the desktop perfectly functioning. Once I have restarted it is gone again.
I read somwhere that having a hard drive and CDROM on the same IDE channel can cause problems, is this what is happening here?
I have a yamaha CDRW on the internal SCSI bus, if I use that as my CD drive and remove the CDROM from the IDE channel will that help (I'll try that anyway)
2. The original apple hard drive works so much better than the extra drive I fitted. I installed a 17GB drive as master and have installed OS X on it but it is so slow. I know the drive is 4600rpm but I can't believe how much faster the apple hard drive is. I have installed OS X on both drives and the difference is stunning. With OSX installed on my 17GB drive it takes just over 14 minutes to boot up, with OSX installed on the apple 6GB drive it is more like 2 minutes. I know that the 17GB drive is old and slow but that is a big difference. Could it be a driver problem?
I have looked around online for drivers for the hard drive but, as I said before, being new to the apple side of computers I don't really know where to start looking.
3. I have installed an unsupported USB card. It seems to work fine. Everytime I boot up I get a message saying:
'over current warning - the usb device installed is drawing too much power, the hub it is attached to will be disabled.'
I click okay but the thing still works!
I have a wireless mouse plugged into it and it works fine even though it has been disabled.
Is this going to explode?
The words 'over current' sound scary.
4. Harking back to question 1. If I disconnect the CDROM on the internal channel to enable me to use my third hard drive, will I be able to boot from the SCSI CDRW?
5. Can anyone suggest a good system monitoring program? As mentioned I bought a CPU upgrade and I am a little suspicious about it. I want to know what speed it is running at. The docs that came with it say the the apple system profiler will not give the correct reading of CPU speed and I should use CPU director instead.
Call me cynical but is it possible that the CPU I bought is not what it says on the tin.
ASP says it is 333MHz and it should be 1GHz. CPU director does indeed say it is running at 1GHz but can I believe that? It is, in my opinion, possible to write a piece of software to give the wrong CPU speed thereby allowing someone to sell a 333MHz chip as a 1GHz chip and saying 'only our software can give correct readings'
I had the same thing with a broadband supplier recently. My connection was really slow for days. I ran several online speed checks to ascertain the speed. Out of the six speed checks only the suppliers own one said I was getting the connection speed I should have been, all the others gave really low speeds which reflected in the fact that it took an age for a web page to download, not something you should be getting on a 2Mbit connection.
On the phone to the suppliers customer services and they refused to take any speed check but theirs as true. I ran theirs and it always came up with the same number. 'Then your connection is working perfectly' they said. The five other speed checks and my own eyes told a different story but they wouldn't have any of it, instead telling me my PC was to blame, even going on to tell me to disable firewall and antivirus and run my PC in safe mode with no startup programs!! ********. Anyway, I want a third opinion about processor speeds so if anyone could tell me the name of a good program to do this (preferably free) I would be grateful.
Thanks for any help any of you can give me. I am learning more and more about apple hardware by the day and I am fast becoming one of the converted.
broddr

Hey guys,
thanks for answering so soon.
To answer the questions asked:
The motherboard is either a rev b or c. I remember checking this when I first had the idea of upgrading the cpu. I am not sure if it is a b or c but it is definately not rev a.
I think the cpu upgrade is working fine.
As Frank mentioned, it seems most of the cpu speed utilities use ASP for their information and give exactly the same speed reading.
I went a little more basic.
I ran CPU director and put the cpu speed at 333MHz and timed how long it took a few apps to open, then used CPU director to put the speed up to 1000MHz and timed the same programs again.
The speed difference was more than noticeable so from this I can only assume the CPU is running at 1GHz.
I have installed 9.2 on a seperate partition but it seems to be a weird version.
It came with a freinds G5 software for his iMac and is labelled 'additional software'
I installed it on a whim (because I am like that) and it gave me 'classic support'
I can now run classic apps in OSX and I have, on occasion, been able to boot into the 9.2 system. Only occasionally though.
Once booted into the 9.2 system there is no optical drive support and hardly any of the options I remember from OS8.6.
From this I am assuming that it is a cut down version of 9.2 bundled with new iMacs to enable users to use classic apps.
That doesn't explain why sometimes I can boot into it though.
Any of you heard of something like that.
I am planning to purchase a full copy of 9.2 when funds allow.
I have disconnected the CDROM which is on the same IDE channel as my third hard drive and used the cuda button to force the motherboard to recheck its hardware. Upon boot though the only difference it made is that I didn't have a CDROM. The third hard drive was still awol.
The SCSI yamaha CDRW is bootable but that makes little difference as disconnecting my IDE CDROM makes no difference on whether or not I can see the third hard drive.
I do know about the 8GB partition and OSX is sitting on the first partition which is 7.95GB.
I tried using xpostfacto to get around this which kind of worked. It did allow me to put OSX on a larger partition but caused no end of problems at boot so I cleared NVRAM and erased all the hard disks and started afesh.
The 17GB hard drive is in fact 15.91 GB, sorry about that. It came in a PC I bought which was (incorrectly) labelled as having a 17GB hard drive and since then I have just called it the '17GB hard drive'.
Since I last wrote I have done a little more research on the hard drives and found that the 6GB original apple drive and the 15GB drive are both 5400rpm so that cannot be the problem.
Here is some more accurate information on the drives:
IDE 0-
Master - 15.91GB Fujitsu MPE3170AT - seems to work fine apart from the aforementioned slowness - first partition is 7.95GB with OSX installed.
Slave - 6GB Maxtor 90651U2 - works fine
IDE 1-
Master - Matshita CR57 CDROM - works fine and is bootable.
Slave - 1.19GB WDC AC21200H - this is the one I just cannot use or see.
SCSI internal - Yamaha CDRW - works fine and is bootable.
Could the problem be that I have overloaded the internal bus by having four devices on the IDE and a SCSI device?
I have since used a program called disk warrior which states that the 1GB WDC disk is of an unrecognisable format.
I have sucessfully used disk utility to zero it out but it makes no difference.
I think it may just be trashed.
The USB card is still a puzzle.
I am, right now, using a mouse plugged into the USB card which is, according to OSX, disabled.
Scratching of head.
Maybe it is still functioning because the apple PSU has lots spare to give because I have a second PSU taking a lot of the strain? I just don't know.
This whole boot time thing is puzzling to the extreme.
As I said before. I have installed OSX on the 6GB Maxtor drive and the machine starts up in under 2 minutes so I can only assume that there is no hardware problem elsewhere.
When I use the Fujitsu drive its 10 - 14 minutes. So from that it is logical to assume it is the hard drive. Maybe it has a really small cache or something. Or maybe the apple just doesn't like it much.
Once the machine is up and running it runs just fine. A few programs like entourage are a little slow to boot.
I don't know what the benchmark is as I have never used an Apple except this one.
For instance safari takes around 2 seconds for the icon to stop bouncing and about 5 seconds in total to be up and have loaded the home page. Is that about normal?
Another question I have to ask you fine fellows.
Can you move some of OSX's built in applications and utilities to a seperate partition and still have them function properly?
I would like to use the apple hard drive as the OSX installation disk but at 6GB, once I have installed the OS there ain't much room left for anything else.
I have already installed MS office and Appleworks and a few other apps to a separate partition and they work fine.
I suppose though that if I did that and the problem is slow access to the fujitsu disk, once I installed OSX to the apple disk and installed apps to the fujitsu disk I would still have problems accessing those apps.
i don't know really. I think I am going to have to take the machine apart again and experiment until I can find the problem.
Another quick question.
Could it be RAM? Surely either RAM works or it doesn't right?
My system is correctly identifying the 768megs of RAM, if there was a problem with the 512MB of PC100 RAM I installed it just wouldn't show up.
Anyway, thanks for all your help so far,
I think I am going to save some cash and buy a new Apple machine - any suggestions which?

Problem uninstalling MaxMSPRuntime on mac - urgent help needed

Hello there,
I've been using Cycle 74's MaxMSP Runtime version 5.1 for a while but recently had to witch to an earlier version to make some hardware function along side the Max runtime environment. The problem is that where i would usually just drag and drop Max 5.1 into the trash to uninstall it, for some reason, after i have done this and try to install the older version of Max, OSX wont let me install Max 4.0.8 as it says an updated version is currently installed. I have scoured my hard drive for the remanence of Max 5.1. and deleted everything i've found. Is there a way of overriding macosx and getting it to replace Max5.1 with an older version?
Urgent help needed as i am playing a show this weekend and currently am not able to get my equipment to function.
A shiny nickel for the one who saves my ***.
Thanks
Henry

Hi- Try this...
If you can, reinstall or use time machine to recover your recently deleted MaxMSP Runtime 5.1.
Then, download AppZapper. It is a utility that helps you cleanly delete programs off your mac. It is free for the first 5 uses.
http://appzapper.com/
Then, install AppZapper, and then go ahead and drag the MaxMSP Runtime 5.1 into it, and it should hopefully get rid of the pesky program

How do I import photoshop channels as layers in Illustrator CS4?

I recently upgraded from CS2 to CS4, and now I cannot view individual channels as layers in my Illustrator layers menu. I want to be able to select one of a number of channels created in photoshop, and change the color without having to do so in Photoshop and re-import into Illustrator. Right now the imported, and embedded, photoshop image displays the original layer and a "Spot Channel" layer, but the spot channel layer cannot be broken down into each seperate spot channel that I had created in Photoshop. Is this a setting I need to change in Photoshop or Illustrator?

Save each channel out of Photoshop as a greyscale tiff. Embed each into Illy in the usual way, then colour them as you wish. Set their transparency to multiply and you can put one on top of the other to get a composite using true or false colours.
A word of warning: Some rips may have difficulty if you use this method. At any rate if you DO use it you should definitely flatten transparency before making your pdf.

Scoring music to picture in Logic, Help needed!!!!

Hi all,
I've been re-scoring some videos for a course I'm doing, and have a few questions concerning the "Export audio to movie" function.
Is there a way to mute the original sound from the movie file, when exporting my music to the movie???? When l have completed the above function, l find l have a movie file playing my music and the original.
Any help would be great,
Thanks, Matt

I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that within Logic - though you can tweak the audio settings in the quicktime file itself to mute whichever channels you don't need - Apple + J shortcut.
I'd suggest using "Save As" to make a new quicktime, so you have it ready any time you need to export music to pic.

Help needed with rman script

Hi guys,
I need you help in creating rman scripts.
my plan is the following:
- at night i would like to make a backup of the database, archivelogs, control file and spfile. then delete the archivelogs on disk.
- during the day i would like to make every hour, a backup level 1, archivelogs and crontrol file.
my questions are:
for the night backup is the following script ok?
run {
set command id to 'xxx';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
change archivelog all;
backup archivelog all delete input;
backup current controlfile;
BACKUP SPFILE;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
and for the daily backup (run on every hour) what do you think about this? is it ok?
run {
set command id to 'xxx';
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times;
backup current controlfile;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
please help.
Message was edited.

Hi Alanm,
Right now the DB is generating many archives, that doesn't mean that we cant adapt the script in the future if less archives are generated.
By saying "You don't have to make the archive log script an incremental 1 backup" you mean that, since we are already making a backup at night to the archives, theres no need to make them also during the incremental 1?
and for the rest, do you thing the script is ok?

SIMPLE Help Needed.

I am becoming Very Frusterated with this program. I have made a logo in which I need to convert to a JPeg or PDF. that is the easy part. I then want to upload this logo "And the Logo only" but seem to get the rest of the page with it. I don't want the rest of the blank unused page. Only the Logo. ANY help Please!

This should be information that is easy to find if you search this forum site. Always do a search first then post the question.
Therre is an option in the export to most file types to use artboards you have to actually check this option.
But before you export you select the artboard tool, hold the shift key down and start to draw an artboard let go of the shift key while dragging if you do not need it to be a square. This is the way to draw an artboard within an artboard.
Now while that artboard is still selected select the art you want the jpeg to be cropped to and then go to Object>Artboards>Fit to Selected Art you can give this command a keyboard shortcut.
You can do this to ll the objects you have even on different artboards and make not of the artboard numbers and export them all at once.
You if you only have one artboard then you do not have to do this just uncheck use artboards.
For the save for the web you do the same if you have multiple artboards and if you have one then you uncheck clip to artboards in the image tab.

Recording help needed

recording help needed. I'm a beginner, imac, logic express and helix board 12 firewire.
I have recorded my daughter voice only ok, BUT when i import audio file to track 1 as backing track and my daughter is using headphones from the helixboard to sing to she does not record to track 2 when all in enabled.
Should her headphone come from the imac and not the helix board
Regards
Paul

Check the recording channel in the channel strip.
It must be set the same as the audio interface channel.
cheers
