Ghost the original HD to a bigger HD.

I have two Thinkpads T41's type 2373 and 2379, also a T43 type 2668. I am planning to get bigger HD's and ghost the original HD using Norton Ghost 14. Can I use the same HDD adapter(41U3148) for Ultrabay slim for the Three Laptops?
Thank you.

luciano, welcome to the forum,
I'll keep my answer short; Yes

Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

I am running Mac OS X Panther.
I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
Problem is this.
I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
J Slater

jslat,
It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:

edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

I have "ghost" events on my printed calendars repeating daily after the original event. How can I delete these as they only appear on the printed calendars and not on the on screen version?

I had a similar situation. My credit card bill shows a charge on Sept 8 and Sept 9, both for $55.99. I called Apple but they said that I was the victim of identity theft so I cancelled my credit card. They have not refunded my money.

Why is the saved JPG file much bigger than the original JPG file??

I used Image Processor in Bridge CS5 to open a jpeg, apply sharpening action and save as a jpeg. The bit size, color space and pixel dimensions are identical. However, when I save at Quality 12 I get a Jpeg file that is nearly DOUBLE the size of the original jpeg Only if I drop it to Quality 10 do I get a file that approximates, but doesn't equal, the original jpeg.
1) Isn't 12 the same as saying 100% and as such the file size should be the about the same?
2) why would it increase so much? Example about 6 mb to about 12mb???
Does this sound right? I am sure I am doing the steps and setting the parameters correctly. The action simply applies unsharp mask:
I can set the quality to 10 and get an approximate equivalent file size...but I want the higher quality of a 100%/12 setting.
WHAT AM I MISSING???
Thanks - Kevin

WHAT AM I MISSING???
The simple fact that JPEG is always a fully re-compressing format. Your newly created files bear no relationship to the original ones - no binary data structures are retained; the compression algorithm is always applied fresh upon the fully decoded original image and if you use different settings, the result is different. Moreover, since the initial compression artifacts become "valid pixels" once decoded, the successive compression has no way of knowing that they actually are "bad pixels" and those fine disturbances agfain result in different compression patterns. That is, after alll, why consecutive saves to JPEG will always degrade quality even at the best settings...

Open letter to Nokia about the original N95!

Hi there, hope this message gets to the high-level employees of the company.
Why on earth would you people in R&D develop a full fledged computer, the flagship of Nokia Nseries phones, that can fit in the palm of your motherloving hand, and only include 64mb of memory.
I understand that maybe the N95 life cycle might be coming to an end (or has it ended?), and so you corrected the first mistake by releasing the same N95(8gb) but this time, someone in R&D must of had an epiphany and made the right choice to include 128mb of RAM.
But what about us, the good ol' N95 people? We have a crippled device.
People might argue that we are the poor early adopters a.k.a the losers. But I refuse to declare so, as it is not the case. The same phone the N95(8gb) was released 2 holy years later, with the exact same specifications and functionality! Except for the built-in 8gb (we have the sandisk micro 8gb), and slightly bigger battery, oh and the screen.
Just look around these forum, and other forums and see how much memory related problem everybody is having. Searching on google for this phrase: Memory Full close applications try again returns a lot of results related to the n95.
Now I know a multi-billion company's got to make a living, and handing out free upgrades doesn't hurt their pocket, but they won't do it because, let's face it, it didn't become a multi-billion company relying on charity work, so considering this and the whole rant above, I wish to say this:
Can Nokia give the option for N95 owners to send over their N95 and get a memory upgrade for a fee (cost of upgrade plus S/H). I repeat yes NOT free, but a fee. I am willing to pay a price to get it upgraded (if at all possible). As I'm not willing to pay for the new 8gb or maybe the n96, since they are pretty much all similar, except for the memory issue.
Yes, that is all I have to say. Please someone consider it, *if technically possible*. And if ever considered, please put a reasonable price tag on it (not to be touchy, but I'm also not paying the same price of the N95 just to get a memory module upgraded).
Thanks for listening. And hope we arrive at a solution that is favorable to both the customer and company (which never does happen, but a man can dream no?)
PS: And just to say, my brother has the N95 8gb, so I played with it profusely, so if anyone wants to say or (pardon the language) **bleep** how the new n95{8gb) is radically superior than the original n95, you fan boys can please do so, but do it on another thread.

That memory is for storage.
The memory he is referring to is the SDRAM that you need for running programs and multi-tasking.
The N95-1 has 64mb of SDRAM which was problematic on earlier firmware versions. This issue was addressed in the v20 firmware by introducing demand paging which freed up more ram and improved performance all round.
The N95-2(8GB) and the N82 have 128mb of SD RAM which makes these phones perform better than the N95-1.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

The alias "Lacie2" can't be opened because the original item can't be found

A very strange problem just developed. I have a Time Capsule with two external drives attached to it (they are actually two drives in a single enclosure) via USB. When I navigate to the drives, an alias is placed on the desktop. When I click on the alias, I get the message, "The alias “Lacie2” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." (I get the same message for the other drive, "Lacie1"). Now, here's the kicker: when I navigate through to the drives in a Finder window, everything is fine! I can access the drives and all contents. I do NOT get this same problem when I navigate to the Time Capsule itself, i.e., the alias placed on my desktop to the TC works fine when clicked. One more bit of information, the enclosure containing the two apparently misbehaving drives accidentally came unplugged a few days ago, so the drives spun down without being unmounted, etc. However, I don't use the drives every day, so I am not even sure they were mounted at the time. Also, I can't be certain this current problem started IMMEDIATELY thereafter, again because I don't access the drives every day and just can't remember.
I have opened "Volumes" and cleaned out all the ghost/phantom drives in there, and it did not help (none of the ghosts referenced either of these drives). In case it makes a difference, I am booting the 64-bit kernel. Any ideas?

I checked /Volumes again, but no ghost drives. When I select one of the aliases on the desktop and enter command+i, here is what the "server" field says in the popup:
afp://Time Capsule Kay.afpovertcp.tcp.local/Lacie2
When I open a finder window and navigate to the drive, here is the path to one of the folders there:
afp://Time Capsule Kay.afpovertcp.tcp.local/Lacie2/Steve
I don't know if this makes any difference, but when I mount that same drive on my G4 running OS X 10.4, the path is different:
afp://Time-Capsule-Kay.local./Lacie2
The G4 has always been plugged into the TC that the drives in question are also plugged into. Until recently, the MacBook Pro that is giving me the problems connected to my network via AirPort. It is now connected via Ethernet, plugged into an AirPort Extreme which the TC feeds off of via Ethernet as well. Perhaps that's why the paths are different.

How to keep the original sequence of a map

I want the equivalent of a Hashtable or Map class (I need keys and corresponding objects) which, once fully populated, will guarantee to get the key/object pairs back out using the order in which they were added, rather than by sort order of the keys.
( The bigger objective is to compare two such collections, A and B, to see which key/object pairs exist in A but not B, and which exist in B but not A. However, for presentation purposes, I need to keep the original order in which everything was read.)
What's the most efficient way to do this ? I'm sure I've missed something really simplistic but, hey, it's Monday......

There is no way to retrieve objects from any map in the order they were incerted unless you add some logic to the way you are incering it.
Here is an example of such logic, where I want to retrieve "states" in the same order as I put them:
     public static void main(String[] args){
          HashMap map = new HashMap();
          map.put("1" + "PA", "Pensylvania");
          map.put("2" + "NJ", "New Jersey");
          map.put("3" + "CA", "California");
          map.put("4" + "TX", "Texas");
          LinkedList ls = new LinkedList(map.keySet());
          Collections.sort(ls);
          Iterator iter = ls.iterator();
         String stAbbrv = null;
          while (iter.hasNext()){
               stAbbrv = (String)iter.next();
               System.out.println(stAbbrv.substring(1) + " - " + map.get(stAbbrv));
     }the output is:
PA - Pensylvania
NJ - New Jersey
CA - California
TX - TexasHope it helps

How do I save in the original format

I recorded a cover band and my camcorder split the video into several 2GB .MTS clips. The bigger point is that there is LOTS of dead time, breaks, etc. I'd like to know how to 1) edit an original 2GB MTS file, remove the dead spots and replace the original MTS file with the optimized result in MTS format. 2) I'd like to combine all of the optimized MTS files into one large MTS file. That file would stay on my hard drive for years and all project files (today and in the future) would reference this single, optimized file. I would delete the original files from my camcorder and laptop.
FYI: I simply copied the files via USB from my camcorder to my laptop. I'm not married to the MTS file format, that's just the format I got when I coped the files.
Thanks!!

When you go to "Computer," you should then see the formats available, and choose MS AVI. That should bring up the Video, Audio and Multiplexing tabs. Under Video, you should have a Compression (depending on version, you might have to go to Advanced) drop-down, where you would choose Lagarith, or UT.
This is a look at the screen from PrE 4.0, which will be a bit different from your version, but will give you a general idea of the Advanced settings for the Share:
Hope that this helps, and does not confuse you (that potential is why I hesitated to post this - being from a previous version), and helps you locate the Compression/CODEC drop-down.
Good luck,
Hunt

If I post a photo on Photostream, then edit it in iPhoto, will the edited version replace the original?

I am working with RAW photos. If iPhoto uploads immediately to Photostream after adding pics and then I edit the photo, will the edited version replace the original on Photostream?

Yes.
If you want to do this to squeeze more songs onto a device then take advantage of the feature to downsample as songs are transferred. Device > Summary tab > Convert higher bitrate songs to to 128kbps AAC
If you're running out of room on your library's hard drive then it is time to buy a bigger drive.

Any way to export videos and preserve the original creation date?

I recently shot video using an NEX-5N and AVCHD as the format. Since Aperture cannot playback this format, I converted the videos using Handbrake to mp4 (H.264), and then used A Better Finder to change the creation date of the converted file back to the same date as the original file.
Importing this converted file into Aperture works great, and the imported file shows the correct metadata of the original creation date, not the date of the conversion.
But when exporting this file from Aperture, it seems like Aperture does not embed the date as metadata, and thus the only date associated with the exported video is the file-system date attached to the file, which will of course be the date of the export.
I assume this problem applies to ANY video imported into Aperture, not just those that have been converted.
Does anyone have a method for exporting video and having the original creation date remain? This is obviously a problem when exporting videos one-by-one, but would be a bigger problem if I ever wanted to export my entire video library from Aperture into another program...all the video files would have the same date!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

EXIF data and video files is even more of a gray area then EXIF data and stills.
I don't do much video in Aperture so I'll take your word for it that the data isn;t imbedded into the file. In that case the best I can see is to create a custom export preset and include the Image Date in the filename. Not great but you at least have the data and you might be able to have a script use the date from the filename and somehow add it back into the file.

Can the origin for an object be always the centre of the stage?

Hello everybody!
I am doing a site where I've got an object bigger than the stage, that I can zoom and drag. My problem is that when I zoom the object, he uses an origin which is on the same object. What i need is that the origin of the object will be always the centre of the stage. The aim is to drag the object and zoom in right where I am, as happens for examle in a Cad.
So, can the origin for an object be always the centre of the stage?

Could you try this
sym.$('yourelement').css('background-origin','#Stage');
Not sure though.

HT204053 I have one apple ID that my entire family has been using. How do I create new apple ID's for each of us and move the appropriate content to each new ID from the original apple ID now that we all have our own devices?

I have been using one apple ID for 4 family members. Up until now it hasn't been a problem but now that we all have our own devices how do I create new apple ID's for each of us and them move the approprioate things from the original apple ID account to the new ones for each of us?

Using a copy of the install DVD Family Pack rather than the original?

I'm going to buy a 5 pack for my brother and his family, however given his track record of losing install disks - can I keep the original and send him a copy? I know making a back-up in allowed under Apple's license but in this scenario I would be keeping the original and sending a copy to someone else. My intent is to safeguard the original, not distribute multiple copies, but would this be considered acceptable under the terms of Apple's license?

Create the duplicate and send both to your brother. It's time for him to get responsible.
