Merry is the glad word, marry is when you match and wed people (or ideas).
Craig has suggested on his "off line" station gathering pictures of winter and celebrations.
In fact he's running a [video contest |http://www.kyte.tv/ch/72385-friday-morning-report/292138-florida-winter]so folks can share their winters.
One of our community members shared a knowledge nugget with me in Twitter: "that my own holiday, Channukah, has some traditions like Diwali (burning an oil lamp)" for example.
This year was the first time in my life that we did that (rather than just light candles which we did as well).
I like this [picture|http://www.flickr.com/photos/marilynpratt/3131272327/] that has our neighbors Christmas lights blended with our own Channukah oil lamp.
It reminds me of the best things community can be: sharing, lightness, illumination.
Marrying (blending) to make merry (happy) is what our diverse community is all about.
Happy Holidays and a good season.
Thanks to everyone who generously wish these things regardless of where in the world they are and what they celebrate.
We salute you.

On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

We took pictures during oue holidays with two cameras and an iPad. I put all the pictures on my PC and reorganized them by date, time and/or subject, By putting a number in front of the picture name. Then I synced with my iPad. All the pictures show in a misselaneous order. What went or did I wrong?

You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

Time and Pitch appears completely unusable at 96k (I/O Error-36)-any ideas?

Hi there,
Any help for the following gratefully received. Sorry about the excessive length of this post, but I've tried a whole bunch of things trying to sort out my problem and I'd rather list them all in the interests of clarity. (or should that be catharsis?)
My simple question is: Is there anyone out there who is successfully using Time and Pitch compression / expansion at 96k? I simply can't get it to work with any degree of reliability on 2 new machines I've tried it on, and I've even managed to crash the demo machine in my nearest Apple Store trying it out.
Some background: I recently ditched my TDM PT HD system in favour of a core audio Apogee Symphony based one. I use time compression / expansion of audio files extensively in my projects, and previously used the DAE version of Serato Pitch'n Time to do this. I've never rated the Logic Time and Pitch engine, so knowing that Serato and Izotope have developed Logic friendly algorithms was a big deal for me in finally making the hardware switch to a Mac Pro Twin 3.2Ghz Quad a few weeks ago.
I've had quite a few problems / errors running Logic since then, resulting in me swapping the Twin 3.2Ghz Quad for a Twin 2.8Ghz Quad a couple of days ago. I reckon most of those errors are outside the scope of this question, but I'm happy to reel them out if people perversely want this post to be even longer. All those errors now seem to be sorted with the exception of the following:
I've been trying to carry out a series of time compressions and expansions on a stereo 96k audio file to get it to play in time with my track, but the time stretching doesn't take place - I've been getting the 'I/O error Result Code= -36' message when I click the Process button. Not every time, but almost every time. It's more prone to do it with negative tempo change values for some reason, and if it does work, then an undo will almost certainly mess the audio up by not returning to the original state. It fails with both Logic's own algorithms and the dedicated Serato Pitch'n Time LE version. All other sample edit functions (say excite, denoise etc) appear to work correctly.
Knowledge base here seems to imply that I'm getting a disk read / write error. I've tried resampling the audio. I've duplicated it and tried the copy. I've moved it to a different internal drive, having taken the first drive off line. I've moved it back again. I have four internal drives and I've tried audio running off each of them alone and in combination. I've given the file a new name with no gaps or punctuation. I've tried time stretching a completely different audio file chosen at random, usually to no avail but sometimes it works a few times, then fails. Mono files seem to be slightly more reliable, but not much. I've fixed disk permissions and all folder permissions more times than I care to mention. I've reinitialised the boot drive and reinstalled Logic. I've even installed OSX on a different drive, and installed Logic on that one, but that didn't work. I've tried it with my extra 8GB of (reliably sourced) third party RAM removed. I was getting this time-stretching error on the 3.2GHz machine as well, so you could even say I've tried it on two different machines (though it should be pointed out they had the same RAM and Hard Drives).
At the Apple Store earlier today I tried to get a display machine (a 2 core MacPro) with a version of Logic on it (that I'd had nothing to do with) to replicate this error on the demo Logic song. When everything was 44.1 time stretching worked absolutely fine, many times, but once I converted one audio file from its default 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz and tried the time compression, up came the I/O error message. Now I can't believe it's a good idea to have different sample rates in the same song, so I converted all the audio files in the demo song to 96k in a different audio folder, changed the sample rate of the song so it would play back as you'd expect, saved and restarted, and then tried time stretching one of the files - it wouldn't do it, resulting in the I/O error again. Interestingly, after that even the 44.1 version of the song started showing the same error, even after another restart.
It seems like I should work at 44.1 if I want to time stretch, but I like to work at 96k and I should be able to.
This sounds like a proper bug to me and has been crippling my productivity, but I can't believe no one else has tried repetitively time stretching sections of an audio file at 96k - either have you been able to get it to work, or has anyone got any more suggestions I may not have tried out?
Thanks in advance. (Or have you all gone to sleep by now? Self-editing was never my strong suit...!)

Nevermind. I was low on disk space. Duh (though the error could have been a bit more descriptive).
Move along. Nothing to see here, folks.

I can't set up time and date / no response or it s...

Hi guys
I hope You will help me.
I purchased nokia 5800 (second hand) for my girlfriend this christmas as a present and everything is fine apart 'time and date settings'.
When you going to 'setting' and try to select 'date and time' there is no reaction, if you trying open by clicking 'options' and than 'open' it appears straight away 'System error' message or if you trying do it from the home screen/desktop by clicking on the clock 'System error' message appears straight away.
It is very confusing and driving me mad as this is christmas gift and she can't set up time and date.
I've tried update software using Nokia Software Updater and nothing
I've restored factory setting and nothing as well.
Please help me
Thank You very much for Your time
Kind regards
Martin

Hi monpar77
If you are using restore factory settings in "Phone management" due to UDP = User Data Preservation feature of this device that may not be sufficient and you may need to carry out a "hard reset" as detailed elsewhere in the forum.

SCCM 2007 Determine packages/task sequence distributed specific time and date

Hi All,
Back from holiday to find SCCM task sequences for client PCs have been pushed to servers :(
My knowledge on SCCM/SQL is somewhat limited.
Are there ways to find task sequences that are distributed specific time and date and to which collections?
Many thanks!

managed to sort this out myself.
On a affected machine, I've located a logfile 'smsts.log' in '
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\Logs', then searched for advertisement prefix.

HT2736 I haven't recieved the code for gift my dad bought me? We have tried to resend the gift 3 times, but nothing happens! Do any of you know what to do?

I haven't recieved the code for gift my dad bought me? We have tried to resend the gift 3 times, but nothing happens! Do any of you know what to do?

Turns out my son had a mail filter on and had redirected the email to another folder, hence decline all knowledge of it! I got the invoice as one transaction the following morning. All OK.
Suggest you check to ensure the email address is valid and being sent to the right folder. Also check your invoice the following day as it will confirm the address you sent the gift to.

Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen. I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it. HELP! For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I. Is anyone still up that can help me out?

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

My Display Only Works Part of the Time and Apple Care Won't Help Me (Long)

I bought my computer at a discounted price because it was a restocked item, but was it really worth it? I'm beginning to think not. I saw that it had one stuck pixel, but saving that much money on such an expensive computer, the pixel hardly seemed like a travesty. However, I think I've discovered the real reason why the last owner gave up such a seemingly exceptional piece of hardware...
After about a month of flawless operation my "new" computer started to act a little strangely. It wouldn't always go to sleep when it was scheduled, the screen saver wouldn't always come on by itself...things that I though a simple PRAM reset, SMC reset, or disk permission repair would fix. After countless attempts at all three "fixes" I was still having problems...a few days after these problems started occuring something even more drastic happened: My computer would turn on (the little light would come on, I'd hear the fans start running and the start up tone) but the screen would remain black. I tried several PRAM and SMC resets as suggested on this forum, but the screen continued to come up black for about an hour. That's when I called Apple.
The Apple Care specialist on the phone asked me for the serial in which I had to lift the computer up to get (since I obviously couldn't read it off the screen). She suggested an SMC reset which, I explained to her, I had tried already but it hadn't worked, however, I was willing to give it another shot. Oddly (and rather annoyingly) enough it worked, and for a short amount of time I was happy...until it happened again...another call to Apple...and again...and about 3 or 4 calls to Apple Care later, they suggested that I go in to an Apple Store to have it looked at.
The Apple Specialist made an appointment with me to meet with an Apple Genius the next day at 4:30PM at a store about a mile away from my house. The next day I lugged my 24" iMac through the local mall (I'm female, 5'2", and I weigh about 108 so it wasn't too easy of a feat) to discover the apple store was CLOSED for the next few days so that they could "make the store better." I called Apple Care on my cell phone right there in the mall and asked them what was going on. Didn't they know that this Apple Store was closed? The man I was talking to said that they knew and he wasn't sure how the person I had talked to just the day before had signed me up for an appointment when he hadn't even asked for my e-mail address. It was most bizarre. This man made an appointment with me for later that same day at an Apple Store about 45 minutes away from where I live. I didn't want to go, but I'm a college student and I was a desperate for my computer to work again.
Shaking around in that box must have brought it out of it's strange seized-up state because as I brought it out for the Mac Genius to look at it turned on for him no problem. Quite a frustrating problem because it's so spontainious that it keeps making me look like either a liar or a fool. He said he'd run an 8-hour diagnostic check on it and I could pick it up the next day. So the next day I waited for their call but I got none. I called them and they said that they were still running tests and it'd be ready the next day. The day after, about an hour and a half before I had to go to work, they called me and told me my computer was ready. They said they had ran a 24-hour diagnostic and everything was working fine but they said they'd run more tests if I wanted them to. I'm a full-time college student and I need my computer for just about all of my classes, so I declined more tests and told them I'd pick it up right away. I dashed over there to pick it up and dashed back as fast as I could (and I even made it to work on time...but just barely). Later that night I found that they had accidentally left their diagnostics CD in my computer (I called them about it and they said that would like it if I would bring it back...I still haven't mailed it).
All was fine and good (well, just okay...it still had problems with its sleeping and screen-savering) with my computer until yesterday. I got that black screen again upon start up....but this time my "fixes" worked after a few tries. There were no more problems for the rest of yesterday.
However, today I came home from school and go to start up my computer and the screen turned on and I saw the little mac symbol and that little circle of bars...but then it froze. I held in the little button to force a shutdown and when I started it back up again I was greeted by my good old friend, Mr. Black Screen. Just wonderful. I tried my "fixes" but today I didn't get lucky. So while I was holding in the button to start up my computer (again) and give it another go, I held it longer than I was supposed to and the little on light began flickering. Then I heard this unpleasant tone that lasted a few seconds before stopping and treating me to the startup sound. This time the screen turned on. Yay! I go to call Apple to find out what I had just done, and I find out that my 90 days are up and unless I wanted to pay $50 for them to be puzzled by my issue once more or give them $300 for not quite 3 more years of service, I'd have to lug my computer to an Apple Store or post here to get help. Thanks a lot Apple Care.
My "new" computer cost me almost $3,000. It should work the way it's supposed to. I need it to last me no less than 6 more years, but with the problems I've had with it in the first 3 months (which seem only to be getting worse and more frequent), I don't know if I'm expecting WAY too much out of it. I've been a loyal Apple user for 13 years and out of the 5 computers I've had in that time I've never had so many problems (actually I've never had any problems, at least nothing really serious; I'd never even called Apple Care before this). I'm a fairly experienced user (I'm not a Mac Genius or anything, but I know the ropes) and I am sure this is not normal behavior for an Apple computer (or any computer of that matter).
I'm so frusterated I'm not sure what to do. What's wrong with my computer? How can I get Apple to help me? How can I get Apple to even believe me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for reading my very long (and rather dramatic) story.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax confirmation time and date fields has all zeros

My fax confirmation sheet for the time and date of my HP Officejet Pro 8600 prints all zeros. How do I reset the time and date for this function?

Hello rschne,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the date and time being all zeros on the fax confirmation.
Is the time and date set on the front display of the printer?
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to assist further.
Cheers,

HT201209 can I buy a gift card online and redeem it right away?

can I buy a iTunes gift card online, and redeem it right away?

If you're referring to the iTunes Store, you can buy gift certificates. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
If you're referring to the Apple Store for purchasing Macs, iPods, etc, to the best of my knowledge they offer only the physical cards.
By the way, this forum is for questions about the Communities themselves. You'll normally be more likely to get a quick and helpful answer if you post in the forum dedicated for the product you're asking about.
Regards.
