Half-way there, but still need help with synching individual libraries

Okay, I got my music xferred to new computer, but I'm still having problems synching individual libraries. When I did my daughter's library, I xferred purchased songs, then did the synch, so it wiped everything else out and just left me with the purchased songs (yeah, I know, big duh on my part). That's not such a big deal on her ipod because she only had about 350 songs, so I've replaced the majority of them already. However, my son and I have about 1000 songs each and I don't want to wipe out our libraries.
So, when I plug in my ipod and pull up my library, what do I need to do to keep the songs already on my ipod and synch it?
TIA

Katrina you've been very helpful, I'm just having a hard time explaining myself, I guess.
I now have all of my backed up music on my current computer, so that's all good. And I've set up individual libraries for each of us with ipods. Now I'm trying to figure out how to synch (for instance) my ipod with nearly 1000 songs with my own personal library on itunes (which is currently empty) w/o losing the songs currently on my ipod and having to drag them to my itunes library from scratch. The same applies for my son's ipod and itunes library.
My daughter's ipod only had about 350 songs, which I wound up wiping out, so I had to start from scratch putting songs in her (itunes) library, which I can now synch with her ipod. However, that would be really time consuming to do with mine and my son's ipods, so I'm hoping to figure out a way to get the songs already on our ipods into our individual itunes libraries now.

I had to remove Mavericks and do a reinstall on 10.8.5 but still need help...

I have been trying to undo my Mavericks upgrade in October and after considerable effort I am mostly got back to 10.8.5 OS but still need a bit of help. I just want the previous OS back in place then I'll try Mavericks soon....
1)               I never seem to pay attention so is 10.8.5 the last OSX prior? As long as it isn't Mavericks, I want to get it installed.
2)               I had to reformat my iMac so I have a residual elements from 10.9 and one issue that I had before was permissions. Every number of files either on other hard drives or sometimes in my same user folder was asking for permission and authentication to simply move a file.. A popular one you'll see at the bottom the person/whatever/ problem known as fetching. Could someone just give me the general reason of this fetching and permissions problem that I ran into? Better yet since I just want to avoid it altogether into the future tell me what's the best way to assure it disappears forever.
3)          Another, which is kind of a big ticket item for me is the backup/restore/cover your (!!!) system. I was a good little iMac User and had Time Machine backed up for a period prior to the Mavericks install. I'm a little bit upset that TM isn't 100%....but what is...? I need another backup/restore system in place and that's what I am looking for recommendations on. An item that saved me a bit was that I had OS 10.8.3 on an external hard drive. The problem with that one was it was on a partition, on one of the drives requiring to be reformatted. It worked as a bridge consolidating files and all but was a big headache as a partition on the external. Recovery Disk did it's part but wasn't enough as well.   Is there a simple/easy idea...clone, disk images, boot from an external drive… ?
4)          iPhoto (9.4.3) currently will not open the libraries which iPhoto (9.5) converted. Is there way to go back? Seems the App Store and Software update don't like something. I'm getting into a loop with App Store, iPhoto and the OS. Either the software needs operating system ... then the App Store says it's incompatible or some other complaint. Right now I have 9.4.3 iPhoto installed for OSX 10.8.5 and was only able to create a new library and the converted ones currently do not open.
Thanks to your help

10.8.5 is the lates ML edition. I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup. If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup. You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files. The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files. That should fix the permissions issue. I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

Still need help with case sensitive strings

Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
but i still need help!
"I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
with an editable text that the user should type to match that
String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
on exitframe
if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
go to next
end if
end
|----> thats the one Im using!"
There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
first solution given --
If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
magically
makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
item.
on exitframe
if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
go to next
end if
end
Second solution given--
The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
So another way to do this is to check if the string is
neither greater than nor less than the target string:
vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
vInput = field "t:texto 1"
if vExpected < vInput then
-- ignore
else if vExpected > vInput then
-- ignore
else
-- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
go next
end if
So any new solutions??
Thanks in advance!!
joao rsm

The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
efficient way
of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
new director
movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
the text
"Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
following command in
the message window and press Enter
put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
in the field
lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
will return 0
(true).
Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
code to find
what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

Still Need Help with this String Problem

basically, i need to create a program where I input 5 words and then the program outputs the number of unique words and the words themselves. for example, if i input the word hello 5 times, then the output is 1 unique word and the word "hello". i have been agonizing over this dumb problem for days, i know how to do it using hashmap, but this is an introductory course and we cannot use more complex java functions, does ANYONE know how to do this just using arrays, strings, for loops, if clauses, etc. really basic java stuff. i want the code to be able to do what the following program does:
import java.io.*; import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class MoreUnique {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String str[] = new String[5]; int uniqueEntries = 0; ArrayList<String> ue = new ArrayList<String>();
         for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.print((i +1) + ": "); str[i] = br.readLine(); }
         for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            if (!ue.contains(str[j].toLowerCase())) { ue.add(str[j].toLowerCase()); } } uniqueEntries = ue.size(); System.out.print("Number of unique entries: " + uniqueEntries + " { ");
         for (int q = 0; q < ue.size(); q++ ) { System.out.print(ue.get(q) + " "); } System.out.println("}"); } } but i need to find how to do it so all 5 words are put in at once on one line, and without all the advanced java functions that are in here, can anyone help out?

you have to compare string 0 to strings 1-4, then
string 1 with strings 2-4, then string 2 with strings
3 and 4 then string 3 with string 4....right???Here's a way to do it:
public class MoreUnique {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        final int NUM_WORDS = 5;
        String[] words = new String[NUM_WORDS];
        int uniqueEntries = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < NUM_WORDS; i++) {
            System.out.print((i+1)+": ");
            String temp = br.readLine();
            if(!contains(temp, words)) {
                words[uniqueEntries++] = temp;
        System.out.print("Number of unique entries: "+uniqueEntries+" { ");
        for (int i = 0; i < uniqueEntries; i++ ) {
            System.out.print(words[i]+" ");
        System.out.println("}");
    private static boolean contains(String word, String[] array) {
             Your code here: just a simple for-statement to
             loop through your array and to see if 'word'
             is in your 'array'.
}Try to fill in the blanks.
Good luck.

Same problem with payment but still need help to s...

Hello,
Could one of the mods. please respond to this?
Still have a problem with paying bill/dd's. As my next bill is due by the end of the week (23/9/11) I will be billed for the whole amount. Due to current circumstances I need to be able to have a monthly budget. This is something I tried to do but without going over old ground this is currently not working. As setting up a DD requires payment of outstanding amounts I am looking for now is options which BT can offer to be able to pay my bill in regular monthly payments. I also have been charged for late payments which is not helping the issue. Could you please clarify what options are available for me to do this? I believe that I have shown 'goodwill' on my behalf to make payments but to stop this from remianing an ongoing problem I would like to resolve this ASAP. Thanks.

I know this is a common thing, but i need help with half tones

This is the problem I have . I am trying to make half tones for screen printing so i need to make solid color halftones to cut down on colors( for example doing a 50% black half tone instead of making a new screen for gray).
I get how to make halftone gradients and rasterize for illustrator, and using the halftone swatches would work if they had them in higher dpi.
Can someone help me out?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I am trying to make half tones for screen printing so i need to make solid color halftones to cut down on colors( for example doing a 50% black half tone instead of making a new screen for gray).
Just fill your gray objects with a 50% tint of the spot color you are printing. In the Print dialog, specify the halftone screen ruling.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I get how to make halftone gradients and rasterize for illustrator, and using the halftone swatches would work if they had them in higher dpi.
Assuming you are printing to a PostScript device, you can print as color separations and specify the halftone ruling, angle, and shape for each ink in the Print dialog. You don't have to use any kind of fake halftone such as Pattern Swatch fills.

Password and Blowfish? (Much closer but still need help)

I'm still trying to decrypt a file encoded with a password-based (PBKDF2) Blowfish cipher. I'm bit further now but starting to run out of ideas. Here is what I have so far:
// 1. Given a password, build a password-based key and from that build a Blowfish key
PBEKeySpec kspec = new PBEKeySpec( pwd.toCharArray(), salt, iterationCount, keySize );
SecretKeyFactory kfact = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
SecretKey sKey = kfact.generateSecret( kspec );
byte[] keyBytes = sKey.getEncoded(); // Is this right?
Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( keyBytes, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Given Blowfish key and initialization vector, decrypt the cipherText into plainText
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding");
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
cipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
byte[] plainText = cipher.doFinal( cipherText );In a full test bed, this compiles and runs just fine, except that it doesn't appear to decrypt the data as expected.
More specifically, when I use Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE to encrypt something like "This-is-a-test" and then decrypt the result with the code above only the first 8 bytes of the result return to plain text, the rest are garbage ("This-is-XXXX...").
The simple test case, at least, should work perfectly but I'm still missing something crucial. The fact that the first 8 bytes decode fine but not the rest feels like a hint to me, but I'm just not getting what the issue might be as I used the same password, initialization vector, key-, and cipher-types in both directions (encode/decode).
Help?

Umm, mea culpa on the encrypt/decrypt test; that part works now (yay!) My core issue remains, however, and that involves getting the OOo document component (content.xml) to decrypt:
The document meta-data definitely indicates "Blowfish CFB" which I take to mean "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding".
What would help me greatly is if someone (perhaps even you, Sabre) could take a look at the following code fragment and tell me if I'm (a) doing something fundamentally wrong here (specifically with the key conversion from PBKDF2 to Blowfish), or (b) if there is an alternative way of doing what I think(hope) I'm doing, which may have different/better results. My trouble is that the decrypt step on the document produces merely binary data (not compressed data which was to come out of the decryption):
// 1. Create a password-based ("PBKDF2") key, then build a "Blowfish" key from that
    SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance( "PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1" );
    PBEKeySpec pbKeySpec = new PBEKeySpec( password.toCharArray(), salt, 1024, 128 );
    SecretKey pbKey = keyFactory.generateSecret( pbKeySpec );
    byte[] encoded = pbKey.getEncoded();
    Key bfKey = new SecretKeySpec( encoded, "Blowfish" );
// 2. Initialize a specific cipher with the key, and initialization vector
    Cipher bfCipher = Cipher.getInstance( "Blowfish/CFB/NoPadding" );
    IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec( initVector );
    bfCipher.init( Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, bfKey, iv );
// 3. Decrypt it
    byte[] plainText = bfCipher.doFinal( cipherText );If full code would help, I'll gladly post it, but the above is the distilled core of the thing and probably easier to grok. Thanks!

10.6.4 Woes - Read many threads but still need help!

Howdy all!
Here's the deal, I'm having problems which I can only trace back to the upgrade to 10.6.4. Everything seemed to be fine for a couple of weeks but something happened when I set-up my new office in my house (external monitor, hard drives etc) I've read so many threads and have tried different things but now am at a loss. I'm way out of warranty so I can even go to the Genius bar or will they charge me? Here's the gist.
Symptoms:
A) Long boot on gray screen, once finder is open the system is frozen for like 10 minutes, dock won't pop up etc. Mouse can move but won't click anything. After 10 minutes things seem to be fine.
B) Computer won't wake up from sleep mode (like if I close the laptop cover) but it will wake-up if the display has gone off
C) Firewire seems to no longer work
Here's what I have tried already:
1) Installed the combo update (fresh download)
2) Repaired permissions (several times and it keeps finding them)
3) Trashed my firewire port (no change)
4) Disable airport (and basically what happens when I do this is that instead of waiting 10 minutes with just a mouse arrow, I have a beachball (non-spinning) for 10 minutes which then disappears when the machine decides to work) At one point I had a hazy blue screen over my desktop and that disappeared after 10 minutes but I've only had that happen one time
5) My disk is OK per Disk Utility, and it says its S.M.A.R.T. status is enabled (or whatever it is supposed to say I forget at the moment but I checked it as one thread suggested and it was as it is supposed to be)
6) The machine boots fine in safe mode - though it is still a long boot but you can use it as soon as the finder loads.
7) The only thing I haven't done is zap my pram (will this help?) and how do you do it?
Thoughts? I can roll back to 10.6.3 which I know has pros and cons but at least it works.
My Applecare ran out and I'm pretty broke at the moment so I don't want to pay for support if I don't have to (although it's more than I don't want to spend a lot of time at the Apple Store to find out something I already know - that 10.6.4 is buggy!(
Help please and thanks so much! Sorry for the long post but I thought I would try to save some questions. I've read so many threads it was all running together.

Oh and yet a new symptom - I can't seem to sync my iPhone 3G. I could sync the photos to iPhoto, but not iTunes, it keeps timing out!

I've searched and read 4gb vs 8gb discussions, but still need help.

Hi again,
I've done my due dilligance by searching and reading all discussions related to this matter- but I still have a question.
I've decided on the 13" Air, 15, 256gb. My last decision is the ever so debated 4gb vs 8gb.
From ALL of the discussions I've read (here and elsewhere online) 4gb seems to be enough for the average person, and some have even tested the capacity by opening 16 applications and programs. Most of the responders are also saying 4gb is enough "if you want to keep the computer 2-3 years". Well- what if I'd like mine to last 5-7 years? (I'm working on a 2006 dying MacBook Pro currently with 2gb memory and a 100gb harddrive).
This is a HUGE purchase for me, as I do not have money to spend often on replacing big ticket items. I'd like to NOT spend the extra $136 unless I need to, to make this machine last longer than 3 years.
Thank you! This community has been a great help to me today

Since cost seems to be an issue for you, between the 128 and the 256,....go with the 128 and the 8 GIG of memory,.....such as you have detailed, it would be a better choice given what you have well explained what you want out of you computer. Just pack around a super slim HD 500GB drive in the laptop bag with your air,..they’re only 7mm thick HD, much thinner than the AIR.
I have an 13” I5 128 gig, and have nearly ever APP imaginable installed, and still have 82 Gig of wiggle room for editing, and other space needed for work.
IF ASKED which is the better upgrade choice for the money,….256 upgrade, or the 8GIG of memory, most here will agree that it’s the 8gig of memory.
HD space is extremely cheap (except inside the AIR, its SSD). If you don’t mind packing around a tiny HD, 65$ will get you 1TB, or 500GB in a superslim HD

Still need help with changing hostname on Solaris 10

Hello.
I have some difficulties with changing host name of my computer.
It is DHCP Client.
AS I understand there are the following steps that I have to do:
1. Edit the /etc/default/dhcpagent file and change the line that reads the following:
#REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
to
REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
2. There are two empty /etc/hostname files: hostname and hostname6.
Do I have just to put there hostname?
3. /etc/hosts has what I need to change.
4. I was unable to find /etc/nodename. Do I have to create it? What properties should contain this file?
5. hostname <new hostname>
In previous time when I tried to change host name with Management Console my system crashed, I changed: /etc/hosts, but it didn't work.
Thank you.

Hello.
Using DHCP you may really have problems changing the hostname.
The fact is: The DNS server may assign your machine a host name which has nothing to do with the host name you sent to the DHCP server. Depending on the server (typically DHCP and DNS server are the same machine) nothing will really work. (This is the case with my configuration where the servers are located on a DSL router.)
I solved the problem the following way:
* I created two host names (MyMachine and MyMachineNet) in the /etc/hosts file (Solaris 10 and newer: /etc/inet/ipnodes must be changed, too.)
* "MyMachine" is 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost MyMachine
192.168.178.100 MyMachineNet* I assigned the name "MyMachineNet" to the network interface in /etc/hostname.networkcard.
* I use DHCP
The computer name (in /etc/nodename) is "MyMachine". Some programs (e.g. Gnome !) establish a TCP/IP connection to "MyMachine" instead of "localhost" (I do not understand why). These programs are now satisfied because the host name "MyMachine" represents 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
I know that there is a switch that tells Solaris to take the machine name from DHCP/DNS instead of /etc/nodename. Unfortunately I forgot where it is.

Still need help with iChat

Hello
I have tried everything sugested in these posts to get iChat to work through my wireless router Dlink DI-524. I have even contacted apple care (waste of time as far as I am concerned)
I have filled out the folowing and pasted it here with as much info as I could answer.
Please take a look at the following and let me know if there is something I am missing to get this D* program working.
There are lots of things you can do to help the regular posters in this Discussion area help you.
First of all the current Discussions were designed on a One Person/Problem to one Thread basis. This was to try and stop several people jumping on what looked like a similar problem and the thread ending up with 5 or more different answer to what in fact were different problems.
Now linked to this is the need to have all the info you have in one go, up front so that we can answer as succinctly and as quickly as we can without repeating questions over and over to get to a start point.
As a Start go here and enter your computer and OS details so they appear on every Post you make.
After that you need to list these things:
1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
Go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab. In the drop down set the speed to match your download or to a max of 1.5meg
YES
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
NO
If so have you set up ports for iChat ?
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ? NO
Do any of these things effect you ?
If they did and you have done them please state so.
4) How are you connected to the internet ? THROUGH WIRELESS
a) We need to know device make and Model ?
DLINK DI-524 ROUTER
b) We need how you have opened the ports for iChat ?
* UPnP ? ENABLED
* Port Forwarding BUMP – Thought you only need to use this if firewall is on
* Port Triggering BUMP
* DMZ BUMP
c) We need to know if you know if the device is in Bridge Mode ? BUMP
(sends your Public IP through to your computer or router).
d) Do you have a router as well ?
* Is it doing DHCP ? Do you only set this up if using built in Ethernet?
* Is it an Airport device ? YES
* Have you opened the ports there ? BUMP
* By which method ? (see above list) NOT SURE
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ? NO
List them if you have.
Also state if you downloaded them when you were running Panther and if you have updated them.
1. iChatUSBCam
2. iGlasses
3. Showmacster
4. ChatFX
6) Does anything in this FAQ effect you and the Add-ons in addition to 5) ? NO. At least I don’t think so.
7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ? NO
See Here and here
8) List your Connection speed

Hi Kaisoboy,
This page has the instructions on how to access your device and pics to help and
It does not show UPnP in the menu.
It could be that you have newer firmware than the pics.
However it should still help.
DO NOT set the ports shown as they are wrong.
Set the ones I gave you.

New to Numbers, tried the guides...but still need help

Hi Folks,
I have a fairly simple project; but I am new to Numbers and haven't found my answer after rooting through the guides and forums. So here goes...
I have a few categories (red, green, blue, black, and yellow). Of these categories, there are different styles to choose from (pants, shorts, t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats). What I'd like to be able to do is have a simple table, with dropdown menus (I believe these are called pop-up menus in Numbers). The first pop-up menu would be for the item color. When the color is chosen, I want the second pop-up menu to list the styles available to that color. When the user then chooses a style from the pop-up menu, I want the cell to the right to display the price. It would look something like this:
Cell A1 (pop-up menu); Cell B1 (pop-up menu); Cell C1 = corresponding value for parameters chosen in A1 and B1.
It's a simple pricing/order sheet that will have the same functionality for every row; that way users can have multiple rows if they need to buy multiple items, but the sheet is minimalistic in appearance.
Any idea how I can do this in Numbers? I hope I explained myself clearly enough...
Thanks!

In that case, the pop-up menus can be fixed (it just means the list might be longer than necessary - as some colors are not available for certain styles). Alternatively, the categories can be fixed in individual cells, and the style can be the only popup menu that needs to be chosen. For example:
A1=Red; B1= (popup menu with all styles listed); C1= price for Red with the parameter in B1
A2=Black; B2= (popup menu with all styles listed); C2= price for Black with the parameter in B1
A3=Yellow; B3= (popup menu with all styles listed); C3= price for Yellow with the parameter in B1
etc...
Does that format eliminate the serious problem??
Yes it does and in this case, you may use a popup specific to the color.
To get the price of a given item, use VLOOKUP which will require a table storing the name and the price of the items.
In the look_up table you may see the name of the items and the prices of existing ones.
In cell B2 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3
In cell B3 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item4
In cell B4 of Tableau 1, the popup menu offers the items : item1, item2, item3, item4
In cell C2 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B2,look_up :: A:D,2)
In cell C3 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B3,look_up :: A:D,3)
In cell C4 of Tableau 1, the formula is : =VLOOKUP(B4,look_up :: A:D,4)
Details about the used functions are available in *-iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide_*
