HELP How to Tell FC Media isnt offline

Can someone help me. I'm editing a music video in FinalCut Express 3.0 and when i got to work this morning i forgot to connect to the external HD before i opened my project, so my clips were "offline"
I shut FC, connected to the HD and reoppened FC but theRed Media Offline screen is the thumbnail for all of my clips in the browser and timeline . When i click to reconnect media on a clip, the online box is checked. I can make changes, render, and play my timeline, but i cant see the thumbnails either in the browser or timeline. of t when I "show audio filmstrips" the filmstrips show up, but the first one is still the Evil Red Screen.

Try this:-
Go to the FCE Menu, select System Settings and reset the Scratch Disks. Your HD must be switched on of course.
You should then be able to reconnect your media.
In future if you forget to have the FW HD on when you open FCE simply switch on your HD. Then click on the "Reset Scratch Disks" button in the warning window and follow the instructions.

How can I make media go offline and then reconnect?

Dear All,
I'm using Final Cut Express 2. I've been editing a film composed entirely of stills (the only transitions apart from straight cuts are dissolves and one Ken Burns effect). I'm still a beginner and have been told that I need to make the original images ready for exporting in DV-Pal format by adjusting them in Photoshop. I've done this, but now I need to import the new (adjusted) files from the new folder. Problem is, FC Express keeps opening the original media and I can't get it to go offline so that I can reconnect to the new folder. I really don't want to have to replace every image and transition individually. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Dear Michel,
Bonjour à vous!
Thanks for your speedy and helpful reply. But it doesn't work! I've tried doing what you said - trashing the old folder and then relaunching FCE - but it resolutely comes up with the original files in the browser and timeline. (I checked that they're the same ones by looking at the 'date modified'). Any further ideas?
Thanks again,
Roger

Media Files Offline Help

Hi Guys,
Wonder if anyone could help me with this slight problem?
Using Encore Cs4 and Premiere Cs4, sending the project from Premiere, using the Dynamic Link.
Create the Dvd Project in Encore, burn onto disc, no problem.
But when I close Encore and then want to go back into the project again, at a later date, it says the media is offline and I get no preview of the timeline, but the media is there as an asset.
Do I have to open Premiere again and do something in there to make it appear in Encore?
Hope you can help as I am a little confused.
Cheers
Wayne

Hi Neil,
Thanks for replying.
They are in normal font.

How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

How to tell whether iPhone is unjailbroken or not?

how to tell weather iPhone is unjailbroken or not?
So, about this time last week i decided to jailbreak my iphone 4 ios 5.01. being 15 most of my friends with iphones have it jailbroken. so after hours of youtube i found a way to do it and It was a success! i was really excited that i finally had a jailbroken iphone. However, i started to realize that it was not a big difference from before i jailbroken it. It started to run slow and glitch up. I also have read that jailbreaking you iphone voids your warranty with apple and i do not feel that its worth it. So i uninstalled every application that i have downloaded from cydia and uninstalled cydia its self. After i uninstalled cydia, i backed up my iphone and transfered all of my apps to my cpu. Then i restored my iphone and set it up from the previous backup i just made. Everything went perfectly! however i want to know if my iphone has actually been un-jailbroken being that i restored my iphone from a back up wear my phone was in a jailbroken state. and since i uninstalled cydia from my phone before i backed it up and restored it, there isnt any clear way to tell whether its still jailbroken or not. please if you understand anything i just said please help me lol. i do not want my warranty to continue being voided ! thanks!

If you restored from a backup remnants of the jailbreak will still be on the phone. You must go to settings/general/reset - Erase all content and settings, delete all iPhone firmware images from your computer, then do a Restore and set it up as a new phone. You cannot restore your backup. You must reinstall your apps, set up email accounts and other settings from scratch. You will lose all app content, such as game scores.
Even this will not remove all traces of the jailbreak; Apple will still be able to tell it was jailbroken. But for your purposes the jailbreak will be gone.
There is one exception; if you also unlocked the phone as part of the jailbreak the modem firmware will not match the iOS version, and future updates may cause problems.

Help uploading nokia sports tracker media

Hello
I have started using nokia psrts tracker. I uploaded my lastest hike stats. When my phone asked to fidn associated media i entered 'ok'. it found all my pictures for that hikes on my cell but failed to upload them.
I have tried repeating the upload but now it tells me there is no associated media on my cell. The pics are still there unaltered.
Any help how i can resolve this? If i upload them one at a time manually it will take a long time and they wont be plotted on my route track. If i upload from the cell it does that automatic location tagging.
Further, I have succsefully used this service/application before.
Any help?

Phone - Nokia N85 Sports Tracker Version 3.01(0) (S60 5.0) (S60 3.2) Hi Really enjoying this software, but I would like the option of uploading to the Nokia Sports Tracker website. I have an account on that site. I have everything working ok on the phone - Ovi Maps, GPS, Internet, etc. Nokia Sports Tracker Beta website logs in ok, but any support refers to Beta 9, not the latest version 3.0. I see plenty of people using the website to upload workouts. On the phone, if I go to Training Diary, there is no no 'Send' in the option, but an upload button. Selecting this button, I only get: "Web Service. Our completely renewed online service for easy sharing and enhanced data visualization will be launched later. Stay tuned for an update!" I guess that this means that because I installed the latest version, that I can't use the web service! Anyone here have the same issue. Anyone have any news? .

How to have original media files outside libray

I have recently upgraded to 10.1.3 and use the new libraries functionality. I have created different libraries for my projects (by year) and consolidate the project, so, now, I have an event with video files and project inside.
I have realize that I have the original video files inside the library file, so it means that now I have all my videos duplicated, one time on the original folder where I copied, and other inside the library.
I would like to maintain videos outside of final cut library, and do not make sense to maintain also duplicated on the library (I also have a back up on a network drive).
There is an easy way to “link” event files to original location outside of the library? Or I have to manually delete and fix one by one?
Thanks in advance.

Follow Tom's advice, which tells you how to move the media outside the library - but don't try to move them over the original ones.
At this point, you'll still have two copies of the clips - in the original folder and one on the folder you now selected.
As Tom pointed out, you'll now have symlinks in your library. Now comes the thrilling part.
1) Erase the recently moved clips - all the clips will be offline, showing as red in FCP X.
2) Use the Relink functionality to point them to the original folder. FCP X is clever enough that you need only select a superfolder containing the media, even if different clips lay there inside different subfolders.
This should all run smoothly, BUT... As always, back things up first - namely, your library - before doing potentially dangerous thinks like deleting your precious files.

I have a problem I can not up grade to the new AOL due to having a MAC 10.4. Now when I go on the site opens but when I finish one thing it tells me error message Offline Mode. What can i do it just shuts the internet down.

When I open Firefox , and go to AOL.com it goes to the home page with a message to up grade. I have tried that it tells me I can not do it on my operating system MAC 10.4. Now when I sign on to Aol to use my favorites some time it lets me on, but if i write something e-mail or such it sends it them tells me error message Offline mode check off in file which I do, but it shuts down the internet. I cannot get back on.

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

I don't know if this is exactly what you are after but you can add the following to the top of your basejini.htm file and it should prompt the user before exiting the IE window.

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?
This is exaclty what I do not want and why I want to determine if the applet is still running before displaying any kind of message.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

How to tell N6.5 DHCP to use a W2k8 for PXE?

Hello,
could anyone give me a hint, how to tell my netware DHCP to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis with PXE Server?
Actual Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
ZEN7 SP1 Imaging
--> works fine so far, and no problem in other subnets, IP-helper are configured in the switches
New Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis Snap Deploy with PXE-Server - in future may be a clean Windows Deployment service without Acronis
--> that would be nice :)
I found serveral ini-files (dts.ini, pdhcp.ini, tftp.ini) where I configured the new IP-Address of the W2k8 PXE Server.
Now:
The Client gets its correct IP-Address from Netware DHCP
but after that the following messages:
Auto-select:
ZENworks Boot
Boot Server IP: --.--.--.-- (the correct one configured in the ini-files!)
TFTP.
PXE-T02:
PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

This option should only be set if both DHCP and PXE services are on the same server (as is probably the case in your situation as I'm guessing both DHCP as also PXE get loaded in the same cluster resource script).
For subnets serviced outside of the subnet your DHCP server is running in, you will need to configure multiple ip helpers: one that points to the DHCP server and one points to the PXE server so those requests on other subnets get serviced correctly.
To get things running it's probably easier to try to get this to work on the subnet your DHCP and PXE server are running in (so you are not also having to deal with the ip helper setup just yet). If that works, then expand you configuration to different subnets & ip helpers.
Hope that helps,
Willem
As a ps and for clarification, don't load the PDHCP on any of the NetWare servers... just have the PXE PDHCP service running on the Windows server.
The PDHCP/PXE service for ZenWorks won't understand/work with the Arconis one and visa versa.

How to tell if Im on AT&T?

Hey guys. I guess I live right on the edge of an area covered/not covered by at&t. I have noticed that my reception bars have changed from black and white to colored and I have even seen a E next to it. So my question is how do I make sense of the different colors or letters so I know if Im on AT&T or some other network?

how to tell if Im actually using at&T's own cell towers or a competitors.
You will never be using a competitor's towers. A competitor would be T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc. and you'll never connect to their networks. You may in some cases be using an AT&T partner. In this thread, one poster advised:
"To get an indicator when you are roaming on an AT&T partner network, call 611 and ask them to activate the (free) "Off Network Alpha Tag" on your account. If they ask why, tell them you want to be a good guy and observe the (usually unenforced) data limits while roaming."
Hope that helps.

[Forum FAQ] How to tell if the DAC port is automatically changed or not

Introduction
Per Books Online:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189595.aspx
SQL Server listens for the DAC on TCP port 1434 if available or a TCP port dynamically assigned upon Database Engine startup.
Also, we can go to the following registry to specify the DAC port number manually:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
The error log contains the port number the DAC is listening on. Besides looking at the error log, how to find which port is used by DAC connection and how to tell if the DAC port is manually set by us or assigned automatically by SQL Server?
Solution
The following query can be used to check if there is an existing DAC connection and it also give us the port number used by dedicated admin connection.
SELECT name,local_tcp_port FROM sys.dm_exec_connections ec
join sys.endpoints e
on (ec.endpoint_id=e.endpoint_id)
WHERE e.name='Dedicated Admin Connection'
Here is the scenario to test if the DAC port is automatically changed or not.
There are two instances are running on one server. I specified the same DAC port number 5555 for the two SQL Server instances by modifying the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\AdminConnection\Tcp
Opened the DAC connection to instance 1. Executed the above query, it returns the result:
name
local_tcp_port
Dedicated Admin Connection 5555
Then, opened a DAC connection to instance 2. It throw out the following error message:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection because an error was encountered during handshakes before login.
Common causes include client attempting to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server, server too busy to accept new connections or a resource limitation (memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0 : Client unable to establish connection due to prelogin failure.
The above error message was thrown out because the DAC port number 5555 was not available for instance 2 which was occupying by instance 1. After restarting the SQL Server engine service of instance 2, if checking in the registry, you would see a new DAC port
number has been assigned to the second instance.
Then, the DAC connection to instance 2 succeed this time and executed the above query, it returned the same port number which is same as the one in the registry key and the port number was assigned automatically.
DAC port will not change even SQL Server service is restarted only if the TCP port is available.
