Going to Previous Tracks- Help for beginner

Due to the length of my project and the need for chapter markers, instead of making one long track with over 100 markers, I've created 20 tracks with six or more markers per track. My problem is, if I am on Track 6-Ch. 1, I want to press the back button on my remote to go back to Track 5- Ch. 5. I'm sure there's an easy solution that I'm missing, but I've been missing it for awhile now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why not make one track? I don't understand why you would rather make 20 tracks with six markers... can you offer more details?
Why don't you just drag all 20 video clips into the one Track (timeline)? Then it's all the same timeline in the same track and all yer chapter markers will work backward and forward.
This would be way easier than getting into stories and or scripting.
If I'm misunderstanding what you are attempting to achieve, I apologize, let me know.
Cheers!

Basic FCP Help for beginner

Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
I have a uni project whereby i have to make a music video for a song previously recorded.
I have videoed various shots of my band playing along to the recorded song.
They all start at different times (i.e start of video clip does not match with audio clip) yet i know that over the whole song they are in time with each other as i had the drummer play along to the recording using headphones.
So what im trying to do is load up all of the clips into FCP alongside the audio, adjust the start position for the various video clips so that they synchronise with the audio, and then lock them into place.
I would then like to cut them up into clips and move the parts that i want to use down onto the main video timeline so that they are in time with the audio.
I am mainly encountering problems with having to render these 3 minute video clips just to see if they line up with the audio which is a very time consuming process. Is there any way to use the markers and tell them to lock together, that is put a marker on the audio timeline, put markers on each video clip at the same point and line them up/snap them into place.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i mentioned in the subject i am a complete apple/FCP beginner having only done basic videos where i didnt need to have such synchronicity between audio and video.
Also on a side note when i load up the video clips into the timeline, they creat new lines V2,V3 and so on. Am i right in assuming that V1 is the final rendered timeline, or does FCP show all of the V# if they have footage on them?
Tl:dr help

Thanks for the response, i have looked at a few video tutorials, but i cant find one that deals with multiple video takes over a common audio take.
Are v2,3 etc slates to load up video before aligning/cutting and placing onto V1 (the main video sequence)??
With regards to this video
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/harringtonrichard/final_cut_multicamedit.php
Am i right in assuming once i have lined up all the video clips to sync with the audio i can set in and out markers on the video clips to tell FCP to use the sections that i want of each take?

Intuos/Photoshop Help for Beginner

Hey There,
I'm an absolute beginner with the Intuos and not much better with Photoshop, so please forgive me if this question is a little basic for this forum. I'm going to be using the Intuous and Photoshop (or maybe Corel Painter) for a research project evaluting a computerized administration of some tests of visual perception and visual memory. I'm looking to create a permanent record of the study subjects' drawing processes, such that I could play back their individual pen-strokes in real-time, and preferably with the option to speed-up, slow down etc. Is this something that would be possibly with Photoshop? I spoke with someone at Wacom who said they were fairly sure that Photoshop or Painter did this, but they weren't sure which one.
Thanks much.

You can keep a text log of every action made in Photoshop but you will not have a record of how the user is drawing with the pen.
I would look into Camtasia which keeps a video record of all activity on the screen. It is used by many professionals to produce tutorials.

Help for beginner: Need labview signal to power on =2 actuators of 8 with one power supply

I am a beginner in using labview. I need to use labview signal to turn on >=2 ac 8 actuators with one power supply. The 24VDC, 0-3A power supply is enough to drive all 8 actuators which need 24VDC and 0.1A current. So the main function is like turning on 2 or more than 2 switches in series with the 8 actuators with one power supply. Any suggestion of some simple module for this purpose? Thanks.

Maybe I didn't say the question clear. I have one power supply (24VDC, 0-3A) and 8 solenoid valves (24VDC and 0.1A). Two valves (or more than two in future) have to be activated each time. I would like to find something that can work like switches installed in series with the valves. Then I can wire the valves (with the switches) in parallel with the power supply. As I turn the switches on and off with signals from Labview board, power to that specific valve will be turned on and off.
Any advice for this kind of switches or any module that can be controlled by Labview signal? Please help! Thanks.

Help for beginner! Photo gallery

I have found 2 templates in a free website
Here is the attachment:
www56.zippyshare.com/v/98974987/file.html
The problem I have encountered is that I have no idea in removing the stack gallery after I click the return to main menu button. Maybe you have to spend some time on the logic of the templates. But I really hope you guys can be patient to help.
Well, to be honest, I have tried whole day finding out the method through google and video tutorials. Fortunately, I think I can handle in loading the stack gallery in the first page. Like using XML codes or loading .swf.
But still can't remove/unload the gallery after I hit the return button.
So please generous guys can give me your ideas.

something like this...not quite working
function updateSlide() { // load photo, update caption and status fields
setTimeout(targetPhoto.loadPhoto(photos[currentIndex], 2000);
caption = captions[currentIndex];
statusField = (currentIndex+1) + "/" + totalSlides;

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18

but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad. Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
Thanks.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Thanks for the Firefox 4 upgrade. Here is my concern - Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?

Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?
Can this new version update itself automatically? How do I set this option?

My Ipod seems to be stuck in a manified or zoom mode. If I turn it off it goes to normal print size for aout 2 seconds and then zooms in too large to use. Help?

My ipod seems to be stuck in a magnified or zoom mode. If i turn it off, it goes back to normal size for about 3 seconds and then zooms in so large that it is unuseable. Someone help! Please.

Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided in my first reply?
Also try triple clicking the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there.

David,
You are right, theer are some changes incorporated in the latest MLR # 16 on the configurations files and on the dehydration store metrics(such as performance, fields,..).
However, I would not suggest to continue working on olite, even for Development/Test purposes as you might get stuck with strange errors...and the only solution would be to re-install SOA Suite if your olite gets corrupted. There might be ways to gets your olite back to position, but trust me..its not so simple.
Also, when you develop and stress test all your testcase scenarios in an TEST Adv installation, its simple to mimic the same in actual production box, as you exactly know its behavior.
So, go for a brand new SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR # 5 (or) 10.1.3.3.1 MLR # 16 SOA Suite Advanced installation with Oracle DB 10.2.0.3 as its dehydration store.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

Helps for WLP9.2 in a cluster: deploy errors, propagation errors

I wrote a document for our portal project's production support that details how to fix several recuring problems with WLP9.2 (GA) in cluster. I'm sharing this with the community as a help.
Email me if you'd like updates or have additional scenarios / fixes or you'd like the word doc version.
Curt Smith, Atlanta WLP consultant, [email protected], put HELP WLP as a part of the subject please.
1     WLP 9.2 Environment
The cluster environment where these symptoms are frequently seen is described by the following:
1.     Solaris 9 on 4 cpu sparc boxes. 16Gb Ram. The VM is given ?Xmx1034m.
2.     Bea private patch: RSGT, fixed cluster deployments.
3.     Bea private patch: BG74, fixed session affinity, changed the session tracking cookie name back to the standard name: JSESSIONID.
4.     IBM UDB (DB2) using the Bea DB2 driver. FYI: the problems described below I don?t feel have any relationship to the DB used for a portal.
2     Common problems and their fixes
2.1     Failed deploy (Install) of a new portal application via the cluster console.
Problem symptoms:
After clicking Finish (or) Commit the console displays that there where errors. All errors require this procedure.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the whole cluster. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Admin server:
a.     Remove file: <domain>/config/config.lok
b.     Edit file: <domain>/config/config.xml
c.     Remove all elements of: <app-deployment> ? </app-deployment>
d.     Start the Admin server
e.     Make sure it comes up in the running state. Use the console: servers ? admin ? control - resume if needed.
3.     Both Managed servers:
a.     cd <domain>/config
b.     rm ?rf *
This forces the re-down load of the cleaned up config.xml.
c.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
d.     rm ?rf tmp cache stage data
This cleans up stale or jammed sideways deploys. Be sure to delete all three directorys: tmp, cache, stage and data.
e.     Start each managed server.
f.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
You can now use the console to Install your applications.
2.2     The portal throws framework / container exceptions on one managed instance.
Problem symptoms:
If you see exceptions from the classloader re a framework class not found, serialization failure or error etc. In general the symptom is that the container is not stable, running correctly, not making sense or your application works on one managed instance but not on the other.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the problem managed instance. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Perform these clean up steps on one or both managed instances:
a.     cd <domain>/config
b.     rm ?rf *
This forces the re-down load of the cleaned up config.xml.
c.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
d.     rm ?rf tmp cache stage data
This cleans up stale or jammed sideways deploys. Be sure to delete all three directorys: tmp, cache, stage and data.
e.     Start each managed server.
f.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
3.     The libraries and applications should auto deploy as the managed instance comes up. Once the managed instance goes into the running state, or you Resume into the running state. Your application should be accessible. Sometimes it takes a few seconds after going into the running state for all applications to be instantiated.
2.3     Content propagation fails on the commit step.
Problem symptoms:
In the log of the managed instance you specified in the propagation ant script you?ll see exceptions regarding not being able to create or instantiate a dynamic delegated role.
There is an underlying bug / robustness issue with WLP9.2 (GA) where periodically you can?t create delegated roles either with the PortalAdmin or via the propagation utility.
Important issue:
This procedure was supplied by Bea which will remove from the internal LDAP and the portal DB your custom / created roles. This will leave your cluster in the new installation state with just the default users and roles: weblogic and portaladmin. The implications are that you?ll have to boot your cluster with console user: weblogic / weblogic. You can then add back your secure console user/password but you?ll have to do this over and over as propagations fail. The observed failure rate is once every 2-3 weeks if you do propagations daily.
Note:
The following assumes that you left the default console user weblogic password to be the default password of: weblogic. The following procedure deletes the local LDAP but leaves the rows in the DB.users table including the SHA-1 hashed passwords. The following procedure should still work if you changed the password for weblogic, but it probably won?t work if you try to substitute your secure console user/pw because there will be no delegated authorization roles mapping to your custom console user. You might experiment with this scenario.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the whole cluster. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Admin server:
a.     Remove directory: <domain>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
b.     Run this SQL script after you edit it for your schema:
delete from yourschema.P13N_DELEGATED_HIERARCHY;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_POLICY;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_RESOURCE;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_ROLE;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_APPLICATION;
commit;
c.     Start the Admin server
d.     Make sure it comes up in the running state. Use the console: servers ? admin ? control - resume if needed.
3.     Both Managed servers:
a.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
b.     rm ?rf data
This forces the re-down load of the LDAP directory.
c.     Start each managed server.
d.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
2.4     The enterprise portal DB fails and needs to be restored OR switch DB instances
Restoring a portal DB or switching existing DBs are similar scenarios. The issues that you?ll face with WLP9.2 since it now uses a JDBCauthenticator to authenticate and authorize the console / boot user you need to first be able to connect to the DB before the admin and managed instances can boot. If you haven?t properly encrypted the DB user?s password in the <domain>/config/jdbc/*.xml files, then you?ll not be able to boot the admin server since you won?t be able to create a JDBC connection to the DB. The boot messages are not clear as to what the failure is.
You?ll need to know an Admin role user and password that?s in the DB you?re wanting to connect to, to put into boot.properties and on the managed instances in their boot.properties or startManaged scripts. Don?t forget that the managed instances have local credentials which is new for 9.2. They are in the startManaged script in clear text or a local boot.properties.
Note:
The passwords in the DB are SHA-1 hashed and there is no SHA-1 hash generator tool so you can?t change a password via SQL, but you can move the password from one DB to another. This is possible because the domain encryption salt is not used to generate the SHA-1 string. As it turns out, the SHA-1 string is compatible with all 9.2 cluster domains. IE the domain DES3 salt has nothing to do with password verification. The same password SHA-1 string taken from different domains or even same domain but different users will be different, this is just a randomization put into the algorithm yet every domain will be able to validate the given password against the DB?s SHA-1 string. Because of this, I?ve not had any problem moving DB instances between clusters, especially if I?ve given up on security and use weblogic/weblogic as the console user and this user / pw is in every DB.
Steps:
The assumption for restoring a DB is that the DB has been restored but it?s an older version and doesn?t have the console user/pw that is in boot.properties. At this point swaping a DB is the same as restoring an old version of the portal DB.
1.     Edit the console user and password as clear text into: <domain>/servers/AdminServers/security/boot.properties
This is where you may give in and use weblogic/weblogic.
2.     Set the correct DB access password encryption in the jdbc/*.xml files.
a.     cd <domain>/bin
b.     . ./setDomainEnv.sh or if you?re on windows just run: setDomainEnv.cmd
c.     java weblogic.security.Encrypt <the_db_password>
d.     Edit the returned string into every <domain>/config/jdbc/*.xml
e.     Make sure the *.xml files point to the correct DB host, port, schema, DB name, DB user.
3.     Start the Admin server. I should come up. If it doesn?t it has to be not being able to create a connection to the DB, which depends on the *.xml having the correct user and DES-3 encrypted password.
4.     Edit the new console user/password on the managed instance bin/startManaged script or the local boot.properties.
5.     Start the managed instances.
2.5     Install patches on a host that does not have internet access
The short description is to run smart update on a host that does have internet access. Fetch out of the <domain>/utils/bsu/cache_dir     directory the downloaded patch jar and xml. Manually apply the patch to your non-internet accessible hosts.
