How do I properly use symlinks for SSD/HHD hybrid MBP?

So, I have OS X (10.8.4) on the 120 SSD in my MBP. There's also a 500GB HDD partitioned into "Machintosh HDD" (250GB; this partition is what I intend for the storage drive) and "Time Machine" (250GB; I'm backing up the boot drive, am not doing so for the storage drive. Any remarks about this?). I don't want to dump the whole home folder on the the HDD, but I can't get the symlink commands in terminal correct. This guide seems to have the right idea, but it's not working. Example. I open the SSD (/Users/anotherwalrus/) and the HDD and drag the Pictures folder from the home folder into /Volumes/Machintosh\ HDD/storagedrive/ (Note: "storagedrive" is a folder I created at the base of the HDD). I open terminal. In ~/Users/anotherwalrus/ typing "sudo rm -rf Pictures" deletes the folder. I see it happen. Then again in ~/User/anotherwalrus/ I type "ln -s /Volumes/Machintosh\ HDD/storagedrive/Pictures". Okay, now there's an alias file in the home folder in Finder on the SSD that when clicked takes me to the copied Pictures folder on the HDD. However, and here is the problem, Pictures no longer exists. I mean, going into Finder Preferences and resetting it to show Pictures doesn't work because once you leave the Preferences page: * A) It's not in the sidebar * B) Going back into Preferences shows that it's unchecked Also, when trying to download photos from the net, there's not option to download in to the Pictures folder. Isn't the whole point of symlinks to show that the folder is in the home folder like normal, just it doesn't actually live or store data on the drive? Right now I don't have a Pictures folder in /Users/drtobin/ with the other folders (Documents, Movies, Applications, etc.). There are all of the folders I haven't messed with yet, and a white page alias icon that goes to the HDD. I thought the beauty of the symlink method of a mixed drive was that you can still interface (put files in, etc.) with the folder that pretends to be in /Users/anoherwalrus/ but really is on the HDD. Are there commands that will accomplish this properly. Wat do?

I don't know that copying them from an external would be any different than doing it internally because they are physically seperated. I have tried many different configurations. It won't let me erase or format the SSD so that I can clone the Hybrid to it. Which is what I prefer to do but I haven't boot from the recovery or an external and tried doing it that way. But even then I have to boot from each seperately, what is holding me up is I've lost both product keys to office and adobe ms 6 due to the fact of not only having them so long and always upgrade using dmg's as well as upgrading os's so often. So those programs are only available on one computer. Which happens to be on a seperate internal disk. A slick unix script would be nice. I am just really tired of trial and error and would like to get back to using my stuff.

How to unset the 'use itunes for internet music playback' option

In Advanced Preferences, I mistakenly clicked the SET button for "Use itunes for internet music playback". Since then, I have closed and opened itunes, so it appears the preference has been saved (the field is no longer highlighted)
I cannot find any way to unset this option. I want to unset this option. Could someone please tell me how?

I don't think that deleting the plist file will help.
Clicking that button sets the handler for a bunch of file types. You can't just unset it, you need to set the handler to something other than iTunes. Normally audio and video are handled by the Quicktime Plugin. You can restore that behavior in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> QuickTime (in the Internet and Network set) -> Advanced -> Mime Settings...
You may have other plugins or programs you want to use for some formats (like .wmv or .avi). Those programs should be able to reclaim the file and MIME types from their preferences.

How to config to use SPFILE for databse

Hi,
As I want to setup recovery settings, OEM gave a warning:
PFILE - The database is NOT using SPFILE. Changes to the initialization parameters will be LOST if the database is restarted.
How do I config to use SPFILE for databse rather than using control file I suppose? Thanks,

Thanks mdtaylor and abarra2000!
It works! because "sql>show parameter" gives spfile's location instead of null before the changing. I notice that original spfile in dbs\ directory is untouched. newly generated spfile is in database\ directory as "show parameter" indicated.
Thanks again,

How do I photomerge using PSE10 for Mac?

I have a photo of a dog in a field and another photo of a different dog on a sidewalk. How do I photomerge these photos into one that has a common background?

Hi 99jon,
I have been caught up with a few other things lately and do not wish to appear ungrateful for your most welcome advice by seemingly ignoring every you. I will be able to put everything into practice quite shortly and I am sure it will now work out, thanks to you and also that other string with screenshots you referred me to. I shall indeed let you know how things pan out, for the best I hope. : -).
I notice you are in the UK so it is 9 a.m. here and 5 pm with you. We came from Barry, Wales, many years ago and settled in Canada in 1971. We now live on its furthermost western reaches, Vancouver Island. It is truly wonderful that you can advise me as if next door yet really 8 or 9 thousand miles away. :- )
I shall let you know how things pan out, 99jon, hopefully for the better!
Best regards, stehkoyeh a.k.a. Gareth

How to create and use scales for DAQ-6014 in Labview?

Hello,
In my application, I use the DAQmx-driver to read the 16 analog input terminals of my DAQ-Card. I create a task with all the 16 channels and define for each channels the input domain (from 0 to 10V) and configure them as NRSE. Then I configure my task to measure the waveforms during 10s with 1000 Hz each time I need it.
The waveform I measure are raw data and I need to scale them to get a mesurement with physical signification. This is actually done after each measure, which costs a lot of time (almost 5 seconds). Then I tried to use the DAQmx Create Scale.vi to create scales and attach them to the channels during my task creation. The creation of scale works fine and I can attach them to the channels. But when I do my measure, I get the raw data - unscaled.
I have no idea, what I am doing wrong. I look for some examples on how to use the DAQmx Create Scale.vi but I can't find none.
Does anybody already have some experiences with this VI?
Cheers,
Olivier

Hi,
May be I don't get exactly what you mean with:
"Right click On DAQmx read and check the options with DAQmx AI read (it is a polymorphic VI) ."
I set the DAQmx read polymorphic VI to the option "Analog 1D Wfm NChan NSamp".
Anyway, I send you 3 VI:
- NIDAQ_6014_CreateScales.vi: where I create my scales
- NIDAQ_6014_StartAIN_Scaled.vi: where I create my task and use the scales
- Measure.WaveFormReader.vi: where I read my data
May can you see what is wrong.
Cheers.

How do I properly use permission reset?

I, among many, am having trouble installing Logic Pro X. At first, it got hung up during the installation process. While the status bar was still blue and "flowing", the installation made no progress from time I went to sleep and woke up....and I was on wifi.
At the suggestion of someone way more Mac-savvy than myself, I downloaded permission reset from apple, and followed their instructions (dragging Logic contents folder into permissions window, then selecting "read" in 1st box, "write" in 2nd box, and "execute" in third box.) After that, when I click reset (as instructed), the boxes restore to the previous settings (box 1: read & write, box 2:read & write, etc)
I noticed I also have several options at this window as far as a "locked" check box as well as others, and user options (staff, wheel, admin, myself)
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? lol
I'm really close to just erasing the program and going with something else, as this is really killing my creative flow. I've been wanting to record some demos for my band to learn for several days now, and I cant even install the software.
In summary, Logic ProX gets stuck during install. It doesnt "freeze", per-se, as I can still "read more about Logic" or whatever, and my staus bar remains blue and moving....just no progress. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I might even pay you!!

Greetings ... it depends what you want to use the Voice Separation tool for... your question is quite general but here are a few pointers: explore the menu around Score Styles. The Voice separation tool only seems to work if you have a polyphonic score style with different staves assigned to different midi channels. So if you were doing say a piano part you need to assign the treble to Channel 1 and bass to Channel 2. Then when you drag the Voice Sep Tool through a cluster of notes, those below will drop down onto the lower stave of the score.
If you say more precisely what you are doing.. I am sure others more expert than me in the Score Editor will chime in
good luck
PS As to the value of the notes: those you can check out more precisely in the Piano Roll ( or what was previously known in L7 as the Matrix). This is an essential tool for making a score as you can see exactly how long or short the notes actually are. Often the Score Editor does not give a completely accurate display in my experience

This post helped me.

Basically, the "Search in Google" extension is from Safari and it can be disabled in System Preferences.
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services -> Searching and unchecking "Search with Google"
It worked for me and I also disabled a few other right-click options that I never use.

How to deploy and use TDMS for ECC

Hello All,
We have a requirement of doing the system refresh from our production database using TDMS.
Please suggest how to use and deploy this tool
I am very new to it
Rohit Goyal

Hi,
check SAP Note 1003051 - TDMS 3.0 corrections - Composite SAP Note
Also, check master and operation guide on https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_SHORTKEY=01100035870000689101
For this you have to first decided which will be your receiver, sender and control/central system. Then you have to install TDMS add-on's on all participating system. Then you can execute transaction CNV_MBT_TDMS to start data transfer from central/control system.
This is very high level. I will suggest you to go through the guides.
Thanks

How to compress data use jzlip for j2me or others Compression Techniques

I want to capture audio use mmapi and upload to a server ,but wav is too large for me,how can I compress it?thanks!

Hi,
I tried this trigger method to compress. It does not work. I get an invalid argument error.
I however figured a complete solution using forms: Here it is:
to compress and store:
Just put it to the table and use an update statement like this:
UPDATE dlo_channa_documents
SET da_document = UTL_COMPRESS.LZ_COMPRESS( da_document ) WHERE pk = :DLO_CHANNA_DOCUMENTS.pk;
Now to uncompress and show
(1.) Create a temp table with blob column
(2.) Insert record to temp table like this:
     INSERT INTO dlo_channa_temp_blob
     SELECT v_next_val, UTL_COMPRESS.LZ_UNCOMPRESS( da_document )
     FROM dlo_channa_documents
     WHERE pk = :dlo_channa_documents.pk;
(3.) Now use webutil_file_transfer.db_to_client to transfer from temp table to client hdd and show using
     CLIENT_HOST( 'cmd /C start ' ||      v_saved_file_name_full_path); -- Open the document in Word

How do I properly use the HDR function in Photoshop CS4?

It appears that I must be doing something wrong when attempting to use the HDR capability in Photoshop CS4. I follow the tutorials. I go to File>Automate>Merge to HDR. Then I select the bracketed photos to merge. I have used RAW file combinations of "normal" with +1 and -1 exposures, and "normal" with +2 and -2 exposures. Inevitably the result comes out looking like the most overexposed shot...or even more washed out. Since CS4 normally works for me as intended, I feel that I must be doing something wrong with the HDR function. Can anyone offer any helpful suggestions? Thanks!

Don't feel bad. While I haven't seen just what you're describing, the Merge to HDR function seems, in my opinion, kind of a bust. I can't say I've seen any "magic" at all in the way it combines the exposures.
I've tried to use it several times and I just don't see results that make me feel it's worth using. I have in every case been able to make better images out of a single well-exposed raw file than with the Merge to HDR function and several bracketed exposures (even with CS5's Merge to HDR Pro).
If people offer suggestions here, I'll be trying them too.

AnyConnect: How do I safely use it for two separate VPN accounts?

appreciate advice
Already have Cisco AnyConnect installed on my MacBookPRO and configured to access my workstation in my office.
Another organization wants me to use a VPN to its database. The IT guy from the second organization provided a URL from the organization to install Cisco AnyConnect for the organization's VPN>
I am afraid to allow this second install of Cisco AnyConnect
Will it overwrite the setting , setup for my employment related connection?
AnyConnect ,when I launch it shows the vpn address for my employer.
If have not found anywhere in the preferences where I could list a second vpn address.
I made a copy of the Cisco AnyConnect application I have installed on my Mac .
But when I launch it, my work related VPN address shows up so clearly there is one preference somewhere in my system library to which all copies of AnyConnect will connect.
I erased my work vpn address from the address window in the AnyConnect window.
Typed in the VPN address for the second organization and logged ( although I did not connect to the new VPN)
When I quit Cisco and logged in again, my employment related VPN showed up in the window but I had to to click to agree to the Certificate- something I have not had do do when I only used one VPN addrsss.
So, what do i do so that Cisco will let me, at separate times, log into both VPN addresses without messing up my access?

Thank you But since the second VPN certificate is loaded in VPN 3, I do
not connect via the VPN 2 version ( Any/Connect) which I have installed
on my computer
I tried doing what you describe and the software keeps trying to connect
and never establishes that Connection is successful
