Hopeful for soution to large travel theme book problems

If you search back through my old posts, you will see that I have been trying to print a 90 page travel themed book unsuccessfully for the last 6 months. Ultimately, the text would disappear in the latter pages of my books. Apple, of course, was useless in helping me solve this problem. I finally gave up when I got the following message "your order was cancelled for unknown reasons...please fix the problems and resubmit. So, on recommendation of many of you, I turned to sharedink.com to try to get my book printed. So far they have been easy to deal with and they actually answer the phone.
Here's the cool thing. Even with someone else willing to print my book, my pdf file was still missing text in the latter pages. So, I thought I would edit my pdf file and add the text back in. At this point, my book appears correctly on sharedink's site and it should print as shown. I'll let you know when I get my book next week.

Somewhat of a workaround. One user, Steve Porritt, found that he got more good pages by reducing the dpi from the 300 change that he had made. He eventually got all of the pages to show. Here is his post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1250583#1250583.
Good luck.

Very pleased w/ "Travel Theme" iPhoto Large Hardback Book

Yes, I am very pleased. Used iPhoto 5.0.4. Transmitted via a Disney (Orlando) Hotel ethernet at 3am. The connection was slow and I awoke to a dead battery...Yet very successful. No problems. Excellent quality of paper, printing, binding and packaging. Shipping was from California.
I had set DPI to 300 w/ prefsetter. I changed several fonts w/o problems.
I did not know about the potential page number option problem in the Travel Theme. (I did not even know there was an option.) I had several full bleeds. Again, no problems.
Maybe the bugs are out now. I hope no one hesitates to use the Travel theme.

Can't locate audio file for iDVD 6 Travel Theme

I have looked under Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes I find only folders for iDVD3, iDVD 4 and iDVD 5. No iDVD 6 there at all! I know I have iDVD 6 installed since I loaded iLife06 last week myself and can both see and hear the Travel Theme graphic and audio theme. Where can it be?
Once I find it, how do I get it into iTunes?
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes! Tonight is the first time I've opened iDVD and that theme started playing. What a marvellous theme it is; it inspires me, sort of sets the level for what I should be shooting for in my scores. I love this kind of music.
And It Should Be Credited to the Appropriate Artist, Apple folks!
There is no mention anywhere of who wrote it (or any of the other audio tracks on any of the sample Themes). The clip seems to be called TravelCards, on which a google search produced information on the composer Simon Fisher Turner (aka SFT), with a CD called Travelcard, but I'll be damned if I can find a downloadable clip to listen to! Some of his stuff is in iTunes, but not this album. From the sound of his other work, however, it could be him. It also bears a bit of resemblance to the work of another British artist, Karl Jenkins (the "Diamond Music" composer, also a founding member of Soft Machine, one of the seminal bands from the 70's).
Whoever it is, I have listened to the sampled phrase over and over and over as it loops in my iDVD window beneath this one... and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Please if anyone has any idea at all who wrote this, I'd love to know and hear more. Thanks!

Adobe Interactive Forms - for Travel Expense Booking

Hi:
We are implementing Adobe Interactive Forms for Travel Expense Booking integrated with Portal (where user would download the form from portal locally to work offline and then upload it later when connected).
For the form to function properly, our consultants has asked to make following changes in the Adobe Reader settings on user machine:
1. Under Edit -> Preferences -> Internet -> Check "Display PDF in browser"
2. Under Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript -> Check "Enable Acrobat JavaScript"
3. Under Edit -> Prefenences -> Security (enhanced) -> Uncheck "Enable Enhanced Security"
All the above three changes are opposite to our current settings. And our IT group is seeing a major secutity threat to company network on making the above changes.
I wanted to check how other companies with Adobe implementation are handling the above changes? Is there any work around to these changes?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rahul

you have to get really creative when trying to dynamically control the form without javascript / formcalc.
One of my little secrets (you owe me big points here) is that I prepare my output in a series of tables when possible.
For instance, in SAP i'll fill an internal table with
Customer | Sales Order Number
12345 | 80002038
Date | 09/15/2011
Special Instructions | Deliver around back
something like this... then I drop this table where I need it. However, if there are no special instructions, I simply do not fill that info out in my internal table. This has the effect of "hiding" the field.

Travel theme - best settings for drop in maps

I am using the Travel theme and really like the idea of putting custom maps into the opening and chapter markers in the themes. However, I am trying to work out the best 'settings' for maps so they show up best once filtered into the background.
For example, when I drop maps (that are predominantly white) into the opening credits they have made the overall shade of the background lighter (more cream than sepia) so you can clearly see their edges. Also, the contrast gets cut a lot so the maps look a lot more washed out than, for example, the map of Africa that is permanently in the opening credits.
Has anyone experimented with this and can they make any suggestions for what works best in terms of blending in with the pre-existing maps or otherwise looking the best once it is filtered by the theme?

Well - the best I found was using Mapquest maps. Guess that's the best...

Travel Theme Drop Zones

I burned a dvd with the travel theme main menu, and had about 5 or 6 drop zones. Filled these in with pictures (2 were background pictures), looked great. Just one month later, and no change in software, I am now creating another dvd, but this same travel theme now only has one drop zone. A lot less motion as well. I know I didn't make up the previous theme. I can play it back on my DVD. Any ideas how I get to the longer, more-drop-zone Travel theme menu? Thank you!
Message was edited by: Ken Hainsworth

Thanks for the reply. I wish I could show the larger drop-zone travel main menu to everyone. About 4 photos go by, with the red dotted lines swirling around, and then a stamp comes down to ink a passport stamp next to the final photo. This is bizarre: I have no idea why I can't find it just a month or two later. Does everyone else have a 1 drop-zone travel main menu?

Here's a positive thing: Windows viruses can't run on OS X, but they can be transferred from OS X to other PCs (only if you have them on the OS X volume).

You could get a virus from a different source that infected Steam and Chrome without any problem. Viruses normally try to infect as many files and programmes as possible.

Hoping for a quick response : EXP and Archived REDO log files

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered 100 times. I admit I didn't search, I don't have time. I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, and I need to know if I'm correct about something to do with backup / restore.
we have 10g R2 running a single instance on a single server. The application vendor has "embedded" oracle with their application. The vendor's backup is a batch file using EXP - thus:
exp system/xpwdxx@db full=y file=D:\Orant\admin\db\EXP\db_full.dmp log=D:\Orant\admin\db\EXP\db_full.txt direct=y compress=y
This command is executed nightly at midnight. The files are then backed up by our nightly backup to offsite storage media.
Te database is running in autoarchive mode. The problem is, the archived redo files filled the drive they were being stored on, and it is the drive the database is on. I used OS commands to move 136G of archived redo logs onto other storage media to free the drive.
My question: Since the EXP runs at midnight, when there is likely NO activity, do I need to run in AutoArchive Mode? From what I have read, you cannot even apply archived redo log files to this type of backup strategy (IMP) Is that true? We are ok losing changes since our last EXP. I have read a lot of stuff about restoring consistent vs. inconsistent, and just need to know: If my disk fails, and I have to start with a clean install of Oracle and nothing else, can I IMP this EXP and get back up and running as of the last EXP? Or do I need the autoarchived redo log files back to July 2009 (136G of them).
Hoping for a quick response
Best Regards, and thanks in advance

Thank you for your quick reply. I am reading in the other responses that since I am using EXP without consistent=y, I might not even have a backup. The application vendor said that with this dmp file they can restore us to the most recent backup. I don't really care for this strategy as it is untested. I asked them to verify that they could restore us and they said they tested the dmp file and it was OK.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Best Regards
BruceThe dump file is probably ok in the sense it is not corrupted and can be used in an imp operation. That doesn't mean the data in it is transactionally consistent. And to use it at all, you have to have a database up and running. If the database is physically corrupted, you'll have to rebuild a new database from scratch before you can even think about using your dmp file.
Vendors never understand databases. I once had a vendor tell me that Oracle's performance would be intolerable if there were more than 5 concurrent connections. Well, maybe in HIS product ..... Discussions terminated quickly after he made that statement.

Looking for a comprehensive online tutorial or book

Hello Guys!
I am looking for a comprehensive online tutorial or book that would contain all steps involving java web application development.
For example, it would be cool if it would contain requirement definition, design, implementation, etc. and how all that is applied to java web application development. Also, it would be neat if it would provide templates regarding diagrams for each stage of the development.
I thank you guys in advence for your help,
John

Thanks benubach!
There appears to be a lot of information but it seems
that most of it is simply a Java tutorial. Maybe I
simply can't quite find the particular doc on that
page.
I am interested in a web program development guide
including how each of the steps (requirement
definition, design, implementation, etc.) in the
process are created. It also be nice if the info
would focus on using java/jsp in the implementation
of each of steps in the process.
Thanks,
JohnI doubt such a document exists. I was hoping to find something similar that didn't resolve around a trivial case, but gave up after a while. This seems to be something that is learned more with working with others as well as reading many little things and building on each other.

Advice for working with large clip files

A few years ago I made a movie using iMovie2. At the time I was working with clips recoded on one minidv disc. I am now ready to begin a project (just bought iLife06) that is much larger. I have roughly ten 60 min minidv discs. I am getting nervous about the amount of memory needed to import and work with this many clips.
Is it possible to import the clips to my external fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the project lives on the ext firewire drive? Can anyone tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger projects like this? (I expect the final project will be 30-40 minutes).
Since the footage all comes from our European concert tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections - would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end to create one film?
Thank you so much for your help with this.
Sincerely,
Bob Linscott

Is it possible to import the clips to my external
fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the
project lives on the ext firewire drive?
Should be fine. I've been editing 4 hours worth of footage down to about 50 minutes, on a project stored on a FireWire 800 drive. FireWire 400 (if that's what you're using) is half the speed, but should still be fine, I think.
So, create a new project, save it to your external drive, and then import your footage into the project.
Can anyone
tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger
projects like this? (I expect the final project will
be 30-40 minutes).
If you mean hard drive space for the project, I think you're talking about 11 GB per hour: so, in short, a lot. I think you could import your footage, edit a bit, and empty your trash to free up space, but iMovie does seem to keep your originals fairly relentlessly, so I'm not entirely sure.
Watch out for extracting audio from clips too: I've been doing this in order to do cross-fades, but it increases the size of your movie. I ended up buying a second, bus-powered 80 GB external hard drive just to hold the iMovie project
Since the footage all comes from our European concert
tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections -
would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie
projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end

This could well be a good idea. Once your projects gets over a certain length, you may experience the "herky jerky" pkayback issue (search for "herky jerky" on these forums), making editing difficult. So three separate projects might be easier.
To combine them all at the end, you'll want to export the 2nd and 3rd projects as full quality DV (Share > QuickTime > Compress Movie For: Full Quality), then import them (File > Import) into your first project, and add them to the timeline.

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.

Hoping for a better docking solution for pen

I was really close to buying a Thinkpad 10, but eventually got the old Thinkpad Tablet 2 instead. One of my primary mobile applications is making annotations on PDFs while reading them, so the pen is really important. At the time the whole device should be light enough to effortlessly carry it on the run. Although the new pen may be better than the good old "toothpick", it just does not fit into the device and may get lost easily. Besides I just hate when things are scattered in pieces. I have also looked for a hard case sleeve with a full size compartment for the pen but have not found any.
So what I am hoping for is that the new product iteration will either have a version that can house the pen within the device or have a optional lightweight sleeve that can entirely house the pen. The current solution for Tablet and Helix is just clumsy at best.

I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN for security?

I will be using public wifi for 3 months while traveling, do I need VPN software? And is it needed at the receiving end?

As long as you only enter your password in secure web forms, connect to secure mail servers, and don't mind if a stranger is watching which Internet servers you connect to (but can't see what you do with them), a VPN isn't necessary.

Hoping for detailed help w/ Podcast/Zen Micro/ Windows Media 10.

Can someone please outline what steps are necessary for someone with a 5gig Zen Micro & Windows Media 0 to download (specifically) and eventually listen to podcasts on my Zen Micro.
I'm hoping for something like; You need these 3 things.....first you....second you....finally.... (hopefully there are only that many steps!)
If it is already on the board, just a cut and paste response is great....or a link to the conversation.
Thanks very much for your 'non technical'/ 'dummies' style explanation.
Cheers,

Windows Media Player 0 help files are very well done, and perhaps your answer is in there...
But as for folder creation: WMP0 arranges your music as Artist\Album\Song.mp3, doesn't matter how you have it structured on your computer, WMP0 will arrange it like that. If you use Windows Explorer then it will keep the same arrangement as your computer, like you already know.
Despite this arrangement, if you still want WMP0 to make folders on your player then:
Connect the Micro
Open up WMP0
Click on Tools-> Options
Click on Devices tab
Select your player and click Properties
Under the Synchronization tab check the box for <i>Create folder hierarchy on device</i>
As for playlist creation, WMP0 will only transfer playlists using the Auto-sync options. If you select which songs to transfer over then it will not transfer that playlist, just the songs inside it. To make a playlist you will have to use Zen Media Explorer, or whatever program that supports it like Media Source, or even make them manually on the player itself.
