Hidden but still using processing power?

Hey,
In some sessions which have lots of tracks I might use the 'hide' function to keep the session tidy - some tracks I don't want to delete completely.
What I would like to know is this...
If the tracks are muted / plugins bypassed / instruments bypassed, does this then make them properly inactive and therefore, not using any RAM/processing power?
Fro example, when you do this in Pro Tools, it cuts it out of the equation completely, so to speak.
Cheers!

In Logic 6 and 7, you could go right to what is now called the Inspector, and where it said "inst 01", you could select "off".
This unloaded the instrument from RAM. What was REALLY useful though, is if you had gotten further along in your arrangement, and needed to adjust your MIDI part, you could simply go to where it said "off", and select "Inst 01" again. This would not only reload the instrument that was in there, but it even remembered modifications done to a preset (that hadn't necessarily been saved under a new name, like adjusting the decay of a patch).
This functionality, whether intended or not, was eliminated in Logic 8. It is sorely missed...
The only work around I know of, is to save channel strips that are song specific (as to not clutter up your library)

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
Thank you
p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.

It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Can you set up a new I Tunes account, but still use the same email address, as having problems with it keep telling me it has been disabled, no matter what I do to chnage the passwords, I haven't used the account since 2010?

Hi eddinchina,
You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
You may use the same email address with both accounts.

What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale but still using color

Hp Officejet 8000 Set to print Gray scale and use only Black ink, Draft Quality, but still using color ink. I'm replacing color ink cart more often the Black. I understand even when set to black only it will still use some color in cleaning and such. but not the amount of color it is using now. Printer has me pissed total waste of money. I'm ready to get my Xerox Phaser solid ink printer fixed. as it was super cheap on ink.

Hello Lynn,
Is your network router located near your desktop PC and L7590 officejet?
If so, I would suggest that you connect the L7590 to the router with an ethernet cable(you can also leave your usb cable connected to the desktop). Then you can connect more directly (still through the network) to the L7590 with your dv7 laptop instead of connecting through the desktop. Since your dv7 is wirelessly connected to the router, and the L7590 is also connected (wired) to the same router, the setup is much easier.
If you want to try this, first download the software from hp.com (click here for the download page). When you run the installation on your dv7 notebook you will be guided through the steps necessary for connecting to the printer via the network.
Dont forget to reply and let us know how it goes!

Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it? Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe. 2 days later it was at 76%!

How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

Can I have two apple id's but still use the same itunes

My mom just got an iPhone. We use the same iTunes but can we both have different Apple ID's and still use the same iTunes??

Log in and out of the iTunes Store as needed; content purchased from both can exist in the same library and on the same device.
If you've purchased an application under one ID, you may need to be logged into it to make in-app purchases. If the iTunes library contains protected content from more than five Apple IDs, iTunes may not allow devices to be fully synced.

(keyboard layout) changed it but still using the last layout [solved]

I switched my layout from qwerty us to qwerty cf (Canada), it don't work and still use us layout, what could be the trouble ???
Note : followed ArchWiki rc.conf file settings ...
Solution : sudo leafpad ~/.config/openbox/autostart ... Add this : setxkbmap ca & (change ca by your layout)

I added an extra couple of lines (below) into the keyboard section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf but I believe you can create your own file that will do the job just as well
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
(the second line sets ctrl+alt+backspace to reset X). In the first line you will need to change gb to whatever code Canadian English uses

How to easily mute all sounds but still use phone?

For the life of me, why doesn't the volume control on the side of the iPhone go down all the way to mute like the iPad does. There is no one convenient place to go to turn off sounds while in a meeting but yet still use the phone without turning it off. Turning it off is not an option for a lot of people.
