Few questions on zen mi

so i got my micro ( 5bg) less than a week ago, i am pretty happy with the player itself. however i have some questions,and being that i'm not a computer genius, i was hoping u could answer with easy vocabulary so i could understand
) i have a pc with windowws 98SE, which is clearly stated usable with the micro on the box and website. so, i install everything, put a cd in, mediascource organizer comes up, i get info for the cd, and on the list of items to choose from all the way to the right of the two arrows, i click zen micro ( which was already plugged in with the included usb 2.0 and my computer has no problem recognizing the micro) and then i click the arrow pointing right to rip the cd to the micro ( i had already gone into settings and picked the copy format of mp3-sterio at 28 kbps). then an error message comes up saying that "this CDROM does not allow audio ripping, try the recording function." but the recording function records a song ( after playing through the whole thing ) but plays back absolutly nothing. so then i try my windows media player 9. For some reason when i go into settings, it lets me choose all the formats that wmp can play ( including mp3) but then when i go to choose the format to copy at, it only allows me to choose wma ( or wma at variable bit rate), so i choose wma at 28 kbps, and then when i go to copy a song from a cd ( i have to play the WHOLE song through) it copies it but plays nothing back. so i can't put music onto the micro from my home computer So then i go to my moms work computer ( also windows 98SE ) over the weekend, go through the same process om mediascource organizer, but get the same error saying "this CDROM does not support audio ripping", but my mom clearly says she's able to burn cds there for her work using <SPAN class=EmailStyle5><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN>Adaptec easy CD creator. so then i try her wmp and after somehow changing a setting to allow audio playback ( or something:smileyindifferent it allows me to copy a whole cd ( only at wma like my comp and only by listening to the WHOLE). does anyone know what's going on and if its right to get those errors even though i have 98SE. any help, explanations, or suggestions would be appreciated.

<SPAN class=EmailStyle5><SPAN>2) we are getting a new computer which should arri've in a couple days. it is a Dell Demension 2400 Intel CELERON Processor ( 2.4 ghz, 256mb, 80 gb harddri've). even though it is not a PENTIUM like the micro requires, will it still work. Also, with the the information that i gave on this computer, does it sound like ( if it does work at all) that the micro will run easy, and fast, and i'll be able to transfer music cds to it quickly and easily.
<SPAN class=EmailStyle5><SPAN>
<SPAN class=EmailStyle5><SPAN>THANK U SO MUCH -hope i'm not being a burden

Some very old cdrom does not support audio cd ripping maybe you have those. Anyway, since you are getting an new system already. I'm sure it will work fine in that system.

  • A Few Questions About Zen MX . . .

    I bought a Sandisk Sansa Fuze in the summer of 2008, and have had it replaced twice due to it failing completely. So, I'm on my third, and I considered the Zen MX. So, I have a few questions . . .
    1. Why is it cheaper than the Zen?
    2. Is it stable and not glitchy?
    3. Will it last a long time? You know, 60 years or so (I'm kidding, although that would be nice.)
    4. This one's not really inportant, but it would be nice - Does it have gapless playback?
    I would appriciate these questions answered.

    Has fewer compatible codecsCan only transfer videos coverted with the Creative software that come on the install cd.,Don't know how long it will last. the type of battery tends to go for about 3yrs.From the posts I see can behave badlymostly due to the software. No gapless playback. No Creative player has that. If I were wanting a player like it I would get the original ZEN. In my opinoin the best video/music player Creative has ever made is the Zen VM. You can still find them on Ebay or whenever Creative puts up the Refurbished one. I have several. Many I have purchased & rehab myself.(very easy to do) You can install larger dri'ves( I have a 40GB) there is a 80GB slim dri've that fits. This seller has refurbed players & gives a warranty.http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Gordons-...e__W0QQ_armrsZ

  • Few questions about Zen V p

    okay i just got this mp3 player and have a few questions...
    - where is the "selected music" section, i cant find the folder.
    - how do you get the music to transfer onto your player in track order instead of abc order.

    I tried the selected music folder. i pressed down in now playing (held it down) and nothing happened. its just frustrating to find all the music in the selected folder when it doesnt have a list of playists or albums. i used to have a jukebox zen extra so im used to their selected music folder...is that the same type of folder on this player?
    i did rip all my cds and they go in abc order when i rip them. i was wondering if there is an option on the creative organizer that makes them transfer in track number order.
    also another question...
    how do you edit the album art that shows up in the "now playing" section? i found that many albums dont have album art (even though they did on windows media player) or that some had album art of the wrong cd. so is there any way to correct these mistakes?

  • A few questions about zen to

    Hi, I would like to know some little things abot the zen touche's menu options.
    When you are in the main menu: you select music library-->artists--> u2 (for example, it could be any artist)- do you have the option to see all the tracks of the artist, such as an option VIEW ALL , or you have to go to each album of the artist and explore the albums one by one to find a title. When yes, can you go back to the albums via an option VIEW ALBUMS?
    Second, when you listening to a title, do you have the option to see all the albums of the artist via an otion LOOK UP ARTIST or may be VIEW ALBUMS, or you have to go to the options menu and select VIEW INFO and then may be LOOK ALBUMS.
    I am asking these questions because These very convenient options are on the ZEN MICRO. I am getting soon a TOUCH and I would like to have those on the TOUCH too.
    And one last thing: I am almost sure about it, but how can you find a track on the player whwn I do not know the firts letter of the name of the track but I know some other parts or words or preposition in the name of the track. This feasture is called FIND or SEARCH KEYWORD on the MICRO, but I think it is not on the TOUCH.
    Thank you for your Information.

    when you are using the player itself the only search feature is to go to the first letter of the song you know. As for on the computer you can probably search the way that you want to. If I were you I would just try to remember the names of the songs or the artist.
    Good Luck

  • A few questions about the Zen Mi

    I'm looking into the Zen Micro 5GB, and I have a few questions that I couldn't find on the sight or aren't completely sure of. Sorry if I'm just blind and didn't see them, but I figured you guys could help.
    ) How do you charge the battery? I'm assuming its with some sort of adapter, and if so, is it included with the player?
    2) It says Windows 98SE is compatible, so does this mean regular Windows 98 won't work at all? I'm currently using W98 but will probably be upgrading soon so it chouldn't be too much of a problem, but if W98 is supported I could order it sooner.
    3) Will it work in tandem with a cassette adapter for a car? A cassette adapter isn't on the accessories page, but will one I already own work just fine?
    Those are all I can think of right now, thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to leave any comments about the player that any of you have.

    the headphone jack problem is not really fixed. If you rather not have it happen to early, i would suggest you take really good care of your ZM's headphone jack. Just take good care of it. But the headphone jack problem may occur at any point, i dunno why. it is very strange, some owners are lucky that the problem will occur in 6-2 months or maybe not at all for now. There are some owners that are unlucky that the problem may occurred like 2 weeks to couople months. I am currently trying to take really good care of my ZM after all the great lessons i learned from my previous mp3 players.
    the headphone jack problem isn't fix, so be cautious a bit.

  • Some questions on Zen Tou

    Hi all! I will be getting a Zen Touch a few days from now but I have a few questions.
    .) Can I have the Zen hooked up to my PC via USB transfering music and have it plugged into a power outlet at the same time? The reason I ask this is because I have heard from people that transfering files tends to take a toll on the battery.
    2.) Also I read about after months of use it is best to use the Clean Up tool on the Zen's rescue mode, will this damage my collection at all?

    .) Yes. There is a seperate power cable and USB cable. Plugging it in to mains power is actually recommended while transferring files or music.
    2.) No, 'Clean up' will not damage your collection. Consider it the 'Scan disk' on your computer; it checks for errors and damaged files and fixes the problems.

  • Few Questions From A New

    what's up? new creative user, just jumped on board in april with a Muvo Micro N200 GB and bought my little sis a 256 Muvo TX FM. I just have a few questions for the experienced users.
    . What's the point of the Zen Micro? Spend 80 bucks on a 5 GB player when you can buy a 20GB player for around 200 (Zen Xtra), what sense does it make?
    2. Why doesn't the zen touch come in 60GB capacity like the XTRA?
    3. Why is the Touch soo much more expensi've than the Xtra?
    4. Why are people still buying ipods when creative is >>> the ipod in almost every way? Show me an ipod with 20 gigs that can hold 0,000 songs, FM radio, voice recorder, and with a 24 hour battery life.
    5. why is Cnet.com sooo biased towards the ipod?
    6. WHERE is the zen sleek available? I checked amazon.com - not there.
    7. what's the difference between the muvo micro n200 and the zen nano plus that I've seen in walmart? features are the same.
    8. Why doesn't creative include some REAL headphones with their mp3 players instead of those pieces of feces that they come with now? After spending 300 for a 40 gig zen touch, I deserve some decent headphones!
    dang, didn't realize I had soo many questions.

    Okay, let me give this a try:
    . Simple - the Micro is smaller. For many folks, convenience and portability are more important than capacity. Try fitting an Xtra in your front pocket.
    2. Again, it's a size issue. The Touch uses a single-platter .8 inch dri've. In any player the bulk of the space is taken up by the dri've and the battery. bigger dri've=bigger player. The Touch was designed to compete with the itty-bitty Ipod.
    3. The Touch is a newer model that incorporates the whole "touch" interface. Newer things are almost always more expensi've.
    8. No company provides decent headphones with their player. Have you ever heard Apple's headphones? Part of this is cost, and part of it is that for many people, especially audiophiles, headphone choice is very personal. It is akin to why most bikes don't come with pedals.

  • Questions Regarding Zen Mi

    I've a few questions, hopefully someone is able to answer them?
    0. I saw my friend's iPod whenever he connects his device to his computer, there will be a small icon on the lower right corner of the system tray indicating the device is plugged in, and that whenever he wanted to remove the device, he will have to click on that icon and then click "stop" etc to fully stop the device so he can safely disconnect his iPod from the computer, how come my Zen Micro don't have this? Is there a way to activate this thing?
    02. How do you usually disconnect the Zen Micro safely from your computer after transferring songs and etc?
    Thanks

    I've disabled automatic docking on my computer and only use Zen Micro Media Expolorer for organizing my Zen Micro.
    If I want to dock the Zen Micro, I plug it into the USB cable, turn it on and once it's fully booted, open ZMME.
    The Zen then docks and I can transfer files on the Zen.
    Once I'm done, I shut down ZMME and wait until the icons show that it is finished transferring files and rebuilding the library. Then I unplug it unless I want to continue charging.

  • HDD mp3 players - a few questions & point

    Is it me or is it that all HDD mp3 players today need their own software for a PC to talk to them?. I feel that this is hindering me from buying such a product as there is no flexibility.
    My requirements for such a player is for it to be small enough to fit in a pocket, flexibility for battery replacement and would be great for it to play on start up. These specs seem to compare to those players that are thumb dri've units not HDD units. Dont get me wrong, the Zen micro answers most of those, but even with the battery being replaceable, I understand (someone can correct me hear) that the only way to charge them, is for them to be in the player.
    If anyone can suggest such a player with these specs as a HDD unit it would be greatly appreciated.
    All the best

    My only problem with the Muvo 2 , is that in the UK is has been discontinued . I emailed Creative Support asking if I could get it via the USA but they did not say otherwise. thanks for letting me know about the Zen Micro though. Its a same that the battery has to be in the unit for it to charge. Alternati'vely is there any chance of an in car charger? when I had the original Creative Jukebox (those were the days ) there was an in car charger for it I am sure.
    been to the shop for MP3 ACCESSORIES and found the car charger - only problem is it is out of stock . I hope they get some more in soon .
    Just a few questions on the Micro - does it carry on from the last position/track it was playing before being switched off? how long does the Micro take to start up. When I had the Jukebox it was not the quickest for this. As when using it in the car it is best to start up quicker to then get the player going. Is there also a way to get the micro to play on start up?
    All the best

  • Few Questions about

    Hey there, I just bought a Creative Zen 4GB yesterday, and so far, I absolutely love it. Haven't had any problems syncing music, price was great, and much more versatility than an iPod. I just have a few questions. First, is there a way to turn the backlight totally off without putting the player on hold? I know that the backlight dims within 5 secs, but it still stays on. Last, the video converter tells me that my file is not suitable for playback, so I choose to convert it, but it refuses to convert the video. Is there any other converter I can use? Thanks a lot for the help, I am very impressed by this product.

    I use SUPER with K-Lite codec pack.
    SUPER:
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Encoders-Converter-DIVX-Related/SUPER.shtml
    (Choose AVI, and then XviD or DivX, set the bitrate to about 650kbps, make sure the resolution does not exceed 320x240, and set the audio to 4400Hz MP3, and choose an audio bitrate of your choice. Drop your file, click encode, wait, if you get an error, try AutoGK).
    K-Lite codec pack (so you have all the revelent codecs required for decoding/encoding on your system):
    http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
    You could also try AutoGK:
    http://www.autogk.me.uk/
    (In the custom size box, allow about ~6MB for every minute of playback, for example, if the input video is 3 minutes, set the custom output to 8MB, this is just so the bitrate doesn't exceed a bandwidth that the Zen can't decode. Also set the maxium width in advanced options to "320", and the audio to VBR or CBR of your choice, I'd say 92VBR).

  • A few questions before I buy a new iMac/Mac mini and sign up for Creative Cloud.

    Hello Everyone,
    I am looking to purchase a new Apple computer and sign up for Creative Cloud within the next week and I have a few questions that should be answered before I proceed.
    My wife and I own a business and we will be using the CS6 apps to create brochures, Constant Contact mailings, product package inserts, edit product photography for print and web use, and short HD how-to videos. We are not graphics professionals or power users and wont be doing anything too complicated.
    Any help and answers will be greatly appreciated.
    I will start with the hardware questions first:
    I am trying to decide between the iMac and the Mac mini.
    The iMac is a 2.7Ghz Quad-core Intel core i5 and comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 16GB, which I will do for sure. It comes with a Radeon HD 6770M graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 1TB HDD that runs at 7200RPM. This unit meets the specs required.
    The 2.5Ghz Mac Mini comes with 4GB of memory that is expandable to 8GB, I will also do this. It has a Radeon HD 6630M graphics card with 256MB of GDDR5 memory(not upgradable), and a 500GB HDD that runs at 5400RPM. This unit meets all the spec(I think) except for the speed of the HDD.
    Question: Will the mini run the software without too much of an issue considering the speed of the HDD?
    Question: Will the iMac run the software significantly better to justify the price difference?
    I already have 1 mini(purchased 4 months ago, with the same specs listed above) and will be purchasing a second computer for my wifes desk. If the mini will run CS6 fine, that is great and we can save a few bucks. If my mini will not run CS6 well, I will get the iMac for her desk as she will be doing the bulk of the work in that regard anyway.
    Now a couple of software questions.
    After reading hundreds of reviews and forum posts over the last few days I have seen many people having this or that issue. It seems to me that most of the issues are because of upgrades from Lion to Mountian Lion after installing CS6 first or trying to open CS3,4,5 files in CS6.
    If you want to know what issues have me concerned take a look at just this one forum:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/adobe-cs-apps-mountain-lion-no-known-issues.html
    Similar issues are discussed in the Apple forums as well as many other places around the web.
    I am not a computer professional but I know enough to maintain my systems and keep them running smoothly.
    We do not have any Adobe software installed on my mini and will not be opening any files from previous versions of Adobe product in the new CS6 software. These will be a clean installs on pristine systems running fully updated Mountian Lion OS's on both machines and creating new files from scratch.
    Question: Should I be expecting any issues like the ones I have read in the forums and blogs or are these just the normal things that happen when upgrading to new software with multiple hardware configurations?
    My feeling is that we will not be having too much of a problem due to the clean installs and no files from previous versions.
    Next up, the Creative Cloud(CC) FAQ states that you can install on 2 machines but can't open stuff at the same time.
    Question: Does this mean we can't be using any CS6 apps at the same time or just not using the same app at the same time?
    Example: PS and PS on both machines at same time = No, PS on one and Dreamweaver on the other at the same time=Yes?
    The CC FAQ page says Adobe will add Lightroom 4 later in 2012 while the main CC page lists it as available now.
    Question: Which is true?
    My mini is registered to me, with my name, iTunes account, Apple ID etc.
    Question: Do I need to do the initial set-up of the new machine with all my information to ensure the CS6 suite works on both machines? Do the computers need to be registered(as far as Apple configuration is concerned) to same person for them to work on one CC account or can I install CS6 on any 2 machines regardless of how they were initially set-up?
    This may seem like a silly question but I want to avoid any problems before they happen.
    Well, those are all of my questions at the moment. To anyone who made it this far in my looooong post, Thank You so much for your time. I appreciate your expertise and knowledge and hope that you can help me make this decision.
    Cheers,
    Alex Bogdan

    Alex,
    I'll try and answer your questions as best I can.
    Qn 1 Which Mac.
    Ans:- As I understand it both units will run Adobe CS6.
              Which one really depends on what you wand from CS6. If you are looking for high end demand and performance, then I would go for the IMac
              Your Specs for the Imac are right. However if you buy your IMac straight from Apple there are even higher specs.
              You can get:-
                                  3.4 GHz i7 processor rather than the i5
                                   2GB video card as opposed to a 1Gb video card.
                                   Of course such a model will cost you more.
              In the end it is needs compared with money to spend. That is only a decision you cam make.
    Q2:- Will the higher cost for the Imac justify copst.
    Ans:- Again it depends on what demands you intend to make on the hardware and software.
              But I note you have a business and if that businees expects to high demand and high speedy performance then I suspect the Imac would be more able to provide your needs.
              Again only you will know the answer to that.
    Q3:- Questions about CS6 reliability
    Ans:- I have been with Adobe for way over 10 years.
             Speaking, only for myself, it is the most reliable software on the market.
              It is true that if you look down this form, like any other and I am thinking about the Apple discussions forum, you will find numerous instances of problems.
              Again this is only my opinion, but although all these problems are real for the individuals:-
              First it is not clear why they have the problem e.g. what have they done or not done.
              Second, they are in the minority of the total users using the hardware / software.
              The only problem I am aware of with CS6 is Acrobat X. I understand it has been sorted Adobe, however it cost me so much work I have removed it from my system and reverted to Acrobat 9
              So what I am saying is that there are only two comapnies I rely 100% on: They are Adobe and Apple.
             So if you are happy with my opinion I would not worry about Adobe CS6
    Qn 4:- CS6 0n 2 machines.
    Ans:- Yes you will not be able to run the same program similtaneosly.
               I believe, if it is important that you do run the same program together, that you can acquire a further licience from Adobe to do that.
               You would need to contact Adobe about that.
    Qn 5:- Lightroom 4
    Ans:- Lightroom is now available as part of Creative Cloud.
    Qn 6:- Set up for individual machines
    Ans:- I do not believe you do. Once you have set up your Creative Cloud account you go to the apps site and download the apps for each machine.
              Each machine downloads the apps and your machine and the apps are registered by Adobe.
             Here is something that you may want to know:-
              Because I was so unhappy loosing all the Acrobat data with Acrobat X I ended up deleting Acrobat X
              However as far as Creative Cloud is concered Acrobat X is still on my machine.
              It is not a problem for me because I am happy with Acrobat 9, it fullfils my needs and has not crashed and lost me all my bookmarks.
              However here is the point:-
              Adobe, when there was a problem with Acrobat X requested that no-one deletes the application.
             Though I do not know for certain I believe registration of the apps you have with Creative Cloud are registered with Creative Cloud in their database. Therefore were you to delete an app, it will still be registered with Creative Cloud and you will not be able to download a further copy even though the app is no longer on your    machine.
              Therefore it maybe not a good idea to delete an app when you no longer have a use for it. If you want it back I suspect you will have to contact Adobe Support
    Personal Comment:-
              It is true many unfortunately have had all sorts of problems, including me with Acrobat X.
              That said, Creative Cloud in my view has been a major advance in how Adobe delivers software. I have no regrets with signing up to Creative Cloud and I expect to remain with it.
    Hope all of that goes some way to answering your questions.

  • Oracle 9i R2 Installation on RH Linux 7.3 -- Have a few questions.

    Hello,
    I am at the end of the Oracle 9i R2 installation and have a few questions.
    1) The "Agent Configuration Assistant" keeps failing. I get the following message.
    Parameters "orahome" = /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
    Parameters "nodeinfo" = NODE_VALUE
    Agent Service Failed
    What does this mean and how can I complete Agent Configuration Assistant install?
    2) I completed the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant successfully and created passwords for sys and sysoper (not sure if these were the exact users). Note I did not modify any other users or unlock them.
    How do I log into the sqlplus prompt, what users should I use and how can I create new users and databases?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,

    (1) You can probably just ignore the Agent Configuration (are you using the Agent to collect data?)
    (2) sqlplus '/ as sysdba' will log you into the SQL*Plus prompt.

  • New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

    To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
    I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
    Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
    All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
    1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
    2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.

    Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,

    1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
    The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
    2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
    Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
    3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
    3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.

    4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
    MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
    5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
    No. Apple does not permit this.
    6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
    You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids

  • A few questions from someone new to Aperture (and DSLR photography)

    Hi - I have just got my first DSLR camera (A Nikon D3000) and am trying out Aperture 3. I had a few questions which aren't all just necessarily Aperture related:
    I have imported my library from iPhoto, however now all my albums are in alphabetical order, rather than date created. I only seem to have the option to arrange my albums by, "Kind", "Name" or "Manual". Any idea how I restore the date created order?
    This may be too large a subject for here (I should probably buy a book on the subject), however JPEG, NEF and TIFF - I am shooting in raw mode which is generating NEF files. I had tried RAW+JPEG, but the basic JPEG this creates is really quite poor. The NEF files are generally around 7-12Mb. If I open them for editing in Photoshop, a TIFF file is generated in Aperture which looks to be over 8x the size of the original raw file, sometime over 100Mb. I then seem to be able to save it back as a JPEG at pretty much maximum quality which results in a file slightly smaller than the original raw file. Is it necessary to keep the large TIFF files once I've created a jpeg? Am I best off just keeping the finished jpeg and the original raw file in case I want to make changes?
    When publishing to flickr, It would be good to be able to just publish the latest versions of all photos in an album. ie not the same photo in tiff, nef and jpg format. Is there an easy way to do this, or is it a case of manually picking each one?
    Also - When uploading NEF files to flickr it would appear to convert them to jpg, which is kind of good I suppose, but does anyone know what level of quality the jpegs created are? Am I best off converting them to jpeg myself first and then uploading? If I did this then my albums would be full of duplicates in different formats, which leads back to my previous question about uploading just one version of each. That may be a question for the flickr forum...

    You have jumped into the deep end with both feet.
    With Aperture running select the single the Browser and you will find the sort controls under the Mobileme to New Smart Album icons depending on how stretched out you have the Inspector panel. There is the ability to sort by just about every parameter there either ascending or descending.
    Can Aperture not convert your NEF files? You dont have to have Tiff files at all. See your Preferences regarding External Editor. How much storage space and your archiving requirements will influence your decision about retaining Tiff files.
    I know nothing about Flickr but assume you will have to choose your own images. I doubt a Smart Album can select exactly what you need.
    When uploading files online galleries generally optimise the images. You are wasting your time uploading massive Tiffs IMHO. Most web services work with jpegs I understand. Consult the Flickr help and support for their requirements and advice.
    Enjoy your new hobby.
    AW
    Whether you have the room to save Tiff files as well as Raw files will probably decide whether you keep them or not.

  • Few questions on Report programming

    Hi guys,
    I have few questions on report programming.
    1. What is the purpose of the statement REPORT zxxx. Even if i gave a name other than my report name i don't find any difference in syntax check/Functionality.
    2. What is the purpose of list headings in report program? This option will come along with the text elements and selection texts.
    3. What is the purpose of logical data base. Even if it is efficient why don't we use it frequently in our reports? Is there any limitations?
    All usefull answers will be rewarded as usuall:-)
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

    1. As u told that you dint get any syntax errors even after changing the Report Name,there are chances of getting Runtime errors.
    2. The usage of List Headings is when you create a list in a program, you can also create your own list and column headings.
    Refer this link for further info.

    3. The Limitation of LDB  is the usage of GET statements which act similar to SELECT - ENDSELECT And also if you dont choose the proper LDB,a  single LDB may contain data retrieval from so many tables ,that it would make the entire process very slow and it is very hard to find LDBs for other modules than HR.
    Only in HR module the data is organized in such a way thatusing LDBs would be much simpler.
    Reward points if useful.
