How can I write a script to regularly transfer a file between two iMacs on a network?

I keep all our family photo files (iPhoto Library) on my wife's iMac. Because we can't share the library simultaneously, I want to automate the copying of the library from her iMac to mine say, once a week in the wee hours (it's a big file). Both of our iMacs are on our common (wired) home network. Is there a way to write a script that will accomplish that? If it matters, we both maintain independent external backup drives and use 'Time Machine' judiciously. Thanks in advance for any guidance!!!

How can I write a script for set left indent?

In three cases as below:
for example:
left indent:8mm; first indent:0mm
left indent:0mm; first indent:8mm
left indent:8mm; first indent:-8mm
How can I write a script to tell Indesign, wherever the text indent is, each time when I run the script once, the text can put just a step rightward, and “one step = 8mm”.
Please!

Hi, Trevor
I use change by list as below:
grep {leftIndent:48mm} {leftIndent:56mm}
grep {leftIndent:40mm} {leftIndent:48mm}
grep {leftIndent:32mm} {leftIndent:40mm}
grep {leftIndent:24mm} {leftIndent:32mm}
grep {leftIndent:16mm} {leftIndent:24mm}
grep {leftIndent:8mm} {leftIndent:16mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:48mm} {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:56mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:32mm} {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:48mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:24mm} {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:32mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:16mm} {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:24mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:8mm} {firstLineIndent:8mm, leftIndent:16mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:48mm} {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:56mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:32mm} {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:48mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:24mm} {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:32mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:16mm} {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:24mm}
grep {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:8mm} {firstLineIndent:-8mm, leftIndent:16mm}
but not that perfect,
I want to useing jave "if{}" or "for{}" to write this script, but I don't kown the syntext.

How can I Write a sine wave in an Access-file?

I measure a sine wave in LabView 6i. How can I write the datas automatically to an Acces-file, at the same time?
In my program, I managed it with Execute SQL.vi, I change a number in a SQL statement(String) -> after this I push start and then it writes the statement in the Access-file.
The problem is, it writes only one data per measurement in the file. How can I write all datas in the Access-file and measure the wave at the same time?
Thanks for help!

On the waveform palette, you will find a "to components" vi that you can break out the array of the waveform. You can then, using a for loop write all of the values from the waveform.
Better yet, there are examples in the database toolkit manual on pages 3-13 to 3-15 that deal with reading arrays (and even has a waveform example).
Good luck!

Can you transfer specified files between an imac & laptop

http://ChucF Can You transfer specified files between a laptop & an imac?

Sure.
There are several possibilities.
You can connect the 2 with FW and start one as Target (keep T pressed during boot). You will see the second Mac as external HD and do the transfer with Finder.
Or you can connect the 2 on the same net with Gigabit Cable or WiFi and again use Finder.
If you need more control in transfer I found Tri-Backup usefull (www.tri-edre.com)

How can i write the DOM tree to the XML File?

Asslamo ala mn etb3a Alhoda.
My problem priefly is that i can't write the DOM tree to XML file.
I write following code to give the user the ability to input the name of data base which he want to create.
If i wrote DB name,its atrributes and its values succefully to XML file ,then i'll read it succefully to RAM.
It'll be simple DBMS.
***My code***
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
public class Main {
     * @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
     // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     String DBname;
DBname=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Your Data Base Name");
OPerations O=new OPerations();
     O.creatDB(DBname);
class OPerations {
public void creatDB(String name){
     //get an empty Document
     DocumentBuilderFactory f; f=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     try {
          builder = f.newDocumentBuilder();
          Document doc= builder.newDocument();
     //Build tree DOM With the root Node
          Element root=doc.createElement(name);
     //add the root element to thevdocument
          doc.appendChild(root);
catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
}

Do an identity transformation to output it:TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tr = tf.newTransformer();
tr.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(new File(filename))));(typed without syntax check)

How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.

How can I write a script or create a macro for gaming.

Now I know this may be a petty and or silly question for most apple users but I am going to throw it out there anyway. I play an online game called Battle Pirates. When you make an attack you have up to 5 ships to control. I am looking for a way to control multiple ships with a "macro" or "script" and using only 1 key. For example: Select ship 2, 3, and 4 while leaving ship 1 and 5 alone. Yea I know it is childish but indulge me. Hahaha.
I know you can write Macros with Windows and you can even use something called "Auto Hotkey". I just wanted to see if anyone knew of a way to do this with what Apple already has in place. What I have commonly found out with Apple products is that since I have come from being a Windows user to Apple, I usually overthink the process. LOL. Mac's are soooooo much easier....if you know where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I have read the tutorial on "Script Editor" but I am having trouble understanding it mostly because you kinda would have to have SOME programming knowledge. Obviously I lack in that area. Thanks for bearing with me.

Can you expand on that? How do you use automator in your game? Can you give me a rough idea of how and what you do with it? I have watched a tutorial on Automator and it seems more useful for documents.

How can I find out the angle of a straight line between two anchor points?

I would like to extend a line which is at a given angle (not 45,90 degree). Is there a quick and reliable way to do this? or to find out the angle of a segment?
What I'm doing at the moment is just direct selecting an anchor point and using the visual guides to extend it. I don't think this is exact though so was I wondering if anyone had any techniques for doing this?
Thanks!

portfelio,
Smart Guides are your friends.
As a general solution, you may:
1) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag between the two Anchor Points (Smart Guides say anchor);
2) With the appropriate Reference Point selected in the Transform palette, increase the W or H value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter;
3) Lock the new auxiliary line;
4) ClickDrag the relevant Anchor Point of the original line along the extended auxiliary line (Smart Guides say path);
5) Unlock and delete the auxiliary line.
After 1), you may also click the Line Segment Tool to see the angle.
Or, in a case with a straight path (segment), you may use the Scale Tool:
1) (Direct) Select the straight path (segment);
2) Switch to the Scale Tool and Click the Anchor Point that is to stay, then ClickDrag the one to move (Smart Guides say uniform when you are dragging in the right direction).

How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

How can i write the trigger for Global Temporary Table

Hi Grus,
How can i write the trigger for Global Temporary Table.
I was created the GTT with trigger using the below script .
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE GLOBAL_TEMP
EMP_C_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRI_GLOBAL_TEMP
BEFORE DELETE OR UPDATE OR INSERT
ON GLOBAL_TEMP
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EMPNAME VALUES (:OLD.EMP_C_NAME);
END;
trigger was create successfully, but the wouldn't insert into to EMPNAME Table..
Please guide whether am correct or not? if not kindly give a correct syntax with example
Thanks in Advance,
Arun M M

BEGIN
INSERT INTO EMPNAME VALUES (:OLD.EMP_C_NAME);
END;
you are referencing old value in insert stmt.
BEGIN
INSERT INTO EMPNAME VALUES (:new.EMP_C_NAME);
END;then run ur application it works fine...
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE GLOBAL_TEMP
EMP_C_NAME VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRI_GLOBAL_TEMP
BEFORE DELETE OR UPDATE OR INSERT
ON GLOBAL_TEMP
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
dbms_output.put_line(:OLD.EMP_C_NAME||'yahoo');
INSERT INTO EMPNAME VALUES (:new.EMP_C_NAME);
dbms_output.put_line(:OLD.EMP_C_NAME);
END;
create table EMPNAME as select * from GLOBAL_TEMP where 1=2
insert into GLOBAL_TEMP values('fgfdgd');
commit;
select * from GLOBAL_TEMP;
select * from EMPNAME;
output:

How can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
equipment to do this quickly.

How can I write a program that compiles without warnings?

I tried the following with the 1.5 beta-compiler (build 28; I think):
class Y {
     public static final class Pair<X,Y> {
       private X fst;
       private Y snd;
       public Pair(X fst, Y snd) {this.fst=fst; this.snd=snd;}
       public X getFirst() { return fst; }
       public Y getSecond() { return snd; }
       public String toString() { return "("+fst+","+snd+")"; }
public static void main(String... args) {
     Pair[] pairArr = new Pair[10];              // supposed to be an array of Pair<Integer,Integer>
     for (int i=0; i<pairArr.length; i++)
         pairArr[i] = new Pair<Integer,Integer>(i,i);
     for (int i=0; i<pairArr.length; i++) {
         Pair<Integer,Integer> p = pairArr; // unchecked warning
     System.out.println(p);
     Integer first = p.getFirst();
     Integer second = p.getSecond();
// ... more stuff ...
It turns out that I get an unchecked warning when I extract an element from the array of pairs. Okay, that's fine. How can I avoid the warning? I had expected that an explicit cast would help.
Pair<Integer,Integer> p = (Pair<Integer,Integer> )pairArr;
With a cast I'm telling the compiler: "I _know_ what I'm doing; please trust me." But the compiler still issues a warning.
How can I write a warning-free program in this case? The only thing I can think of, is not using the parameterized type Pair in its parameterized form. But it's not the idea of Java Generics that I refrain from using parameterized types. What am I missing?

It turns out that I get an unchecked warning when I
extract an element from the array of pairs. Okay,
that's fine. How can I avoid the warning? I had
expected that an explicit cast would help.
Pair<Integer,Integer> p = (Pair<Integer,Integer>
)pairArr;
With a cast I'm telling the compiler: "I _know_ what
I'm doing; please trust me." But the compiler still
issues a warning. Yes, but at least you were able to change the warning from "unchecked assignment" to "unchecked cast" which is a little shorter ;-)
Seriously , since arrays of generic types are disallowed, there is probably no way to get rid of these warnings - which makes a strong point for eliminating "unchecked" warnings altogether (see the other thread "selectively suppressing compiler warnings")

         AND objnr ne it_jest-objnr.
dont use NE in the select statements, it may effect performance also. Instead use if statements inside
loops.
loop at t_caufv.
read table it_chrd............
if t_caufv-objnr ne it_chrd-objnr.
read table it_jest..........
   if   if t_caufv-objnr ne it_jest-objnr.
    (proceed further).
   endif.
endif.
endloop.
hope this helps.
Reward if useful.
