How do I take a date string, add "X" days to it, and display a new date?

I have a date listed in a text string. I would like to convert it to a time stamp, and take a variable number of days, converted to seconds, added to the date, and displayed as a correct date. Example: 9/1/2011 adding 35 days is 10/6/2011. The trick seems to be getting it correct for every month and year combination. How can I accomplish this? I was thinking along the lines of time stamps, but any method that works consistently would be fine.
Thank you!
Solved!

You are right, use timestamps, they will take care of the working out the correct date for you.
Interpret your string as a timestamp.
Add your offset (use a numeric add, and consider using units on your variable)
Reinterpret your datestamp as a string.

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
Your time and assistance in appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tonefox!
After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
Inches = Pixels/DPI
eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
Which is great!
So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

HT1481 How do I get rid of my music on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs?

How do I get rid of old songs on my ipod shuffle and re enter new songs??

This is document lists the four iPod shuffle models and the ways to sync music to the shuffle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
The way you remove songs depends on the model (1st and 2nd gen versus 3rd and 4th gen), and the method being used to add songs. I don't know your specifics (please provide), I'll go with one possibility...
You have a 4th (current) gen shuffle and you use the manual method to load the shuffle, by dragging songs to the shuffle from your iTunes library in iTunes (or using the Autofill feature). If that is your shuffle model and how you load it...
First, in the latest iTunes, the sidebar can be hidden. To show it, go up to the menu bar, under View, and select Show Sidebar.
To remove songs, select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. "Drop down" its content list, which is indented below the iPod. Click on Music there. Over to the right, you see a list of songs currently on the shuffle. Select the song you want to remove, and hit the Delete key on keyboard. Confirm action. You can do this with one song, a selection of songs, or the entire list (by selecting Select All from the File menu).
If you have a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, or you use automatic syncing (not manual loading or Autofill), please post back.

What happens when you try to sync?
Does any media sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Retain data in String Display untill new data is delivered in RS-232

I am using Labview 8.6 on Windows XP OS and acquiring signal from RS-232 through COM1 port to which I have connected non NI instrument. My instrument sends data for flash of second and it displayed into String Indicator for flash of second. How to hold this data untill I get new data from instrument. I have tried to select "re-initialise to default value" and "make current value default" but none of them getting selected. I want data to be retained untill new data comes. I have enclosed VI as well as Picture file. Pl advice.

-Looks you are sending or running the while loop every 5ms, are you sure you want this fast? This is the reason the data comes in flash(i think 5ms)
-I use shift register to store something from previous iterations generally.
-You need to keep case structure to check when new data comes and when it does, replace the value in that string.
-else pass previous value to string.
Thanks
