Hi
Problem is that whoever posted the example for you, didnt include the subVI, so the VI is incomplete.
Get the SubVI and I will save it back for you.

Any help converting from Entourage to iCal?
With all the problems syncing between Entourage calendar and my wife's iPhone (and now Apple dropping sync to Entourage in the new "forced" upgrade on MobileMe), I want to help my wife convert from Entourage to iCal. Anyplace to go for that help?
You can use Thundebird to replace Entourage and get the Lighting.Add-on to Thunderbird to replace the calendar of Entourage which USED TO synch over ical to Mobile Me as follows:
1. How to set up the iCal for Lightning and MobileMe
open Thunderbird
Install the Lightning add-on
Select “Preferences” “Advanced” “General”“Config Editor…”
yes, be careful
scroll down until you find “general.useragent.extra.lightning” andset the value to (nothing). you can also set the value to “ical” or whatever,just change it.
Close the config editor, close Thunderbird
Get the link to your iCal on MobileMe asfollows:
open ical (YES, iCAL)
right click the calendar under [email protected] youwant to access
select“get info”
copythe url after “CalDAV url:” it should read“/calendars/users/1.xxxxxxxxx/xxx-x-x-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx”
OpenThunderbird (assuming you have the Lightning add-on installed)
Within Thunderbird
File/ New / Calendar
onthe networkselect “CalDav”
intolocation: type the following (excluding the “”) :“https://cal.me.com:8443/calendars/users/1.xxxxxxxxx/xxx-x-x-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-x xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx”where the xxx stuff is the part of the url that you copied under 5. above.
Whenyou check what is written in the location field, it will end with a “/” which is correct.
This works fine for me.
If you want to back-up your calendar on Thunderbird/Lightning outside the cloud, goto iCal and export the file to a local location as backup. -
Help convert from 7 to labview 6.1
Hi,
Could anyone help me to convert the code to labview 6.1
Thankyou very much
Attachments:
ag663xxa.zip 503 KBYou can try creating a 6.1 driver yourself. All the IVI drivers are simple wappers around a Call Library Node Function into the DLL created in LabWindows/CVI. The LabVIEW driver is created from the Tools>Instrumentation>Import CVI Instrument Driver selection. Download the CVI driver and install it. The converter will require some files installed in the \VXIpnp\WinNT (.fp) and \VXIpnpWinNT\bin (.dll) folders.

In theory, conversion of this code is not difficult, especially because it is clear what the logic is designed to do. The issue is that you will not have an expected result once only this code is converted in isolation. This puppy uses some other objects that are written in AS2 including entities in the FLA library.
In short, it looks like this application needs a total overhaul at every level in order for it to properly function as an AS3 program.
With that said, although this is, again, not a difficult task, it is unlikely to find someone to do it for free. You may have a better luck if you start conversion yourself and post focused questions as you go. -
I have been a Mac user for several years now. Minus a few years that I am not proud of. LOL I have converted several of my family members and friends as well. My sister is now looking at an iMac to replace her Dell.
The question is this. She has an external hard drive to back up all of her pictures etc. Due to the fact that she is having serious problems with her current Dell, I am not sure that we will be able to burn cds to transfer all of these documents.
Is there any other way to get the information transferred easily? I am guessing that I cannot simply plug the PC formatted external hard drive into the new iMac for transferring. Once we get the information off of the external hard drive, I should be able to reformat the drive to work with the Mac though correct??
Appreciate all of your help and tips. I always seem to get really good information from the folks on here.
Thanks
JAs Niel has said, MacOS can read NTFS and FTA32 drives, it can also write to FAT32 drives. As long as the pictures and other files are in a common format (JPG, TIFF, TXT, DOC, etc.) you can copy those files to the iMac and use the included or freely available software to access the files.
While there are a very few drive enclosures that don't work or work well with MacOS, but for the most part, you will be able to re-format (or more likely re-partition & re-format) the drive to be in a Mac format. There are a couple of free, and commercial drivers to allow you to have full read/write access to an NTFS drive while running MacOS. I mention this because if there is a chance that she will want to share that drive between a PC and a MAC, getting NTFS access from MacOS is generally easier and cheaper than getting HFS+ access from a PC. -
Help converting from Cakewalk/Sonar
All my song files are from Cakewalk/Sonar. Does anyone know if Logic Pro can read cakewalk/sonar files?
If not, any suggestions on how I can convert files to Logic Pro, especially files that have both midi and audio tracks.
I want to make the switch to Logic Pro, but don't want to leave behind the hundreds of files that I created on my PC with Cakewalk. Help.I used to know Sonar very well. Off the top of my head, here are the possible solutions that come to mind.
1. Try exporting the Sonar project as an OMF file. Logic can import OMF files but I've never tried it to see if it really works well.
2. Export the audio from Sonar as broadcast wave files. Also export the midi as standard midi files. Then, import them all into a Logic project. Broadcast wave files maintain the start points so everything will line-up correctly.
Good luck! -
[AS] Beast of a script needs help converting from Quark 8 to InDesign CS5
First off, THANK YOU for even reading this post. Here's the dilema. I work in a publishing company that used an AppleScript from Quark 8 to automate our pagination from set text we pull from our sales reps worksheets. About 8 months ago we switched fully to InDesign CS5, but have had to hold onto Quark 8 to be able to keep running our pagination. I'd like to see if the geniuses (yes, I've been trolling these forums looking to solve this myself and seen some great problems fixed) on these forums can help me figure out the proper conversion I would need to be able to leave Quark 8 in the rearview.
Here's our current code... (I warned you it was a beast)

Need help converting from Actionscript 2.0 to 3.0
I have an old flash file that I need to update. Ufortunately I only ahve access to Flash Pro CC and when I open the file it says the program no longer supports Actionscript 2.0. When I test the file, I get the following compiler errors:
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 3
1120: Access of undefined property ratio.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 20
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method number.

1120: Access of undefined property _root.
Symbol 'MoneySlider', Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 9, Column 27

And on the MoneySlide layer in Actions:
this.ratio = 0;
this.loadBar._width = 0;
this.dragger.ratio.text= "$0";
dragger.onPress=function(){
this.startDrag(true,0,0,line._width,0);

loadBar._width = Math.round(this._x);
dragger.ratio.text= "$"+ratio;
dragger.onRelease=dragger.onReleaseOutside=stopDrag;
Any help changing the code to be compatible with Actionscript 3? thanks in advance...as3:
this.ratio = 0;
this.loadBar.width = 0;
this.dragger.ratio.text= "$0";

I'm helping a friend with a new 4S iPhone. He's converting from an old 3GS. We've gone throughout the activation, update to iOS 5.0.2 and restored. Now I'm surprised to find that the Facetime app is not on his new 4S iPhone. How do we fix this?
I would suggest you read the user guide. There IS no Facetime App for the iPhone.

I paid for PDF to Word subscription through iTunes but when I try to convert from my computer directly from Adobe, it says I need a subscription. Help?
Hi divabuyer,
It sounds like you're trying to convert to Word from within Reader, is that so? Are you signed in to Reader? If so, you'll see your name in the upper-right corner of the Reader application window.
If that doesn't work, please try llogging in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and password.
Let us know how it goes.
Best,

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
GinaGee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year. -
Applescript to convert from AW6 spreadsheets to Excel
I have an iMac (iMac12,2) running OS 10.9.1 with applications of Pages’09 (4.3), Pages (5.0.1), Numbers’09 (2.3) and Numbers (3.0.1) available.
One of my laptops is a MBA (MacBookAir1,1) that I have kept at 10.6.8 with applications Appleworks (6.2.2) and Appleworks (6.6.9) available.
Recently, I converted many CWWP documents from AW6 into Pages. This was done on the iMac with an Applescript that copied a file (AnyDocumentCWWP) to the desktop as a file named AWV6, opened AWV6 with Pages’09, saved the result as AWV6.Pages, applied the creation date and modify dates of the original to AWV6.Pages, moved the new AWV6.Pages to the original directory and moved the original file to the trash, renamed AWV6.Pages to the original filename (excluding extension). The Pages version of the original document does not preserve the formatting of the CWWP, but the content was now discoverable with Spotlight. Since I was primarily concerned with the content, I would consider the conversion effort successful enough.
I performed the same sort of process on the iMac with CWSS documents converting from AW6 into Numbers. Here the results were less successful. I discovered that many of the converted spreadsheets had cells where the cell contained the last calculated value in substitute for the formula originally present -or- Numbers was unable to open the CWSS spreadsheet due to size limitations. Neither problem occurs when the file is converted on the MBA by Appleworks into an Excel format. For those CWSS files that did not properly convert to Numbers, I would like to perform a conversion to Excel.
When a given spreadsheet is manually opened on the MBA with either version of Appleworks, one can “Save as” using several formats of Excel. That operation will preserve the formula which cannot be recognized in Numbers’09. An example of this issue is when a spreadsheet has a cell that contains a formula with the function “ISNUMBER”. When I manually open a CWSS in Appleworks (either 6.2 version), I can Save As Excel Win 97 … or Excel Mac 98 … creating an XLS file that preserves the formula.
I have attempted two techniques with Applescript to be able to convert my CWSS documents into XLS format. Neither seem to work.
The first technique is very similar to a few lines extracted from a canned script found on http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=8296 the relevant code is:
set theSprTranslator to "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
tell application "System Events" to set mfpath to get path of disk item ("~/desktop/" as string)
set newfile to (mfpath & "AWV6" as string)
set NewFilename to AWV6XLS
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
open newFile -- alias reference is ok
save using translator theSprTranslator with NewFilename and replace
close front document without saving
end tell
When this did not work, I attempted a scripted GUI solution as a second option. The GUI code I had found at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17348326/applescript-to-save-an-appleworks-do cument-wont-compile-end-tell-vs-end-easy is:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppleWorks"
click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
click menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
click menu item "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet" of menu 1 of menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
Unfortunately there is no “File Format” menu button, after a bit of further research, I discovered UI Browser and wrote my own Applescript equivalent:
set mytempwork1 to AWV6
set theSprTranslator to “Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr”
tell application "Finder" to open file (mytempwork1 as string) of the desktop
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppleWorks"
click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
tell text field 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
set value to "XX" & mytempwork1
end tell
click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
click menu item theSprTranslator
—click radio button 2 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
—delay 3
—click radio button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppleWorks"
delay 10 — <<<<<IF YOU CLICK ON THE BUTTON WHILE IN THIS DELAY, THE SCRIPT WILL BEHAVE PROPERLY
click button "Save" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
delay 1
end tell
end tell
This GUI script behaves almost as I would like. It seems to ignore the setting of the “pop up button 1” unless I actually intervene while the script is running and I click on the button. When I do so, the script runs as intended.
Is there a way to force Appleworks to recognize the Applescripted value of the “clicked” menu item?Hello
As far as I know, there's no need to resort to GUI scripting. The problem in exporting in AppleScript is that AppleWorks 6 only accepts typeChar (TEXT) data as translator name while AppleScript string has become always being represented as typeUnicodeText (utxt) since OS X 10.5. This makes passing translator name to save command difficult but there's a workaround method as shown in the sample code below. The |TEXT|() handler does the job. Tested with AppleWorks 6.2.4 under 10.6.8.
main()
on main()
set export_translator to "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
"Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet"
"Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
"Excel Win 5 spreadsheet"
"Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
set export_translator_TEXT to my |TEXT|(export_translator)
set src to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "in.cwk"
set dst to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "out.xls"
set srca to src as POSIX file as alias
set dsta to touch(dst) as POSIX file as alias
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
--return export translators
open srca
tell document 1
if document kind = spreadsheet document then
save in dsta using translator export_translator_TEXT
end if
close saving no
end tell
end tell
end main
on touch(f)
do shell script "touch " & f's quoted form
return f
end touch
on |TEXT|(u)
string u : source text
return data : «data TEXT...» representing u converted to MACROMAN encoding
do shell script "u=" & u's quoted form & "; printf '%s' \"$u\" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t MACROMAN | xxd -p"
run (run script "
script
«data TEXT" & result & "»
end script")
end |TEXT|
Hope this helps,
