How do you break connections?

I have a crapton of clips that I have to sync with a voice over, which involves trimming both the audio and the video on all the clips. For some obscure reason however, Apple thinks that I'll always want my audio to connect to the clip that it's directly under, so whenever I make an edit on a video, the audio in front of it gets messed up and starts layering itself due to the stupid magnetic timeline. Is there any way to break those connections so that whatever I do to the audio will not affect the video and vice versa?
Also, how do I make this program not suck?

I do similar things with voice-overs. Right Click (or Control CLICK) on the video clip you want to remove the audio from. Select Detach Audio. The audio, as you pointed out, will be connected below the video clip it came from with a little attaching line on the left side of the audio clip connecting it to the video clip. Remember there is a main "story line" in FCP X. Any video clip on that main "track" (primary storyline) will be treated as independent, or non-subordinate, to other clips. Thus, you can now drag your detached audio clip away from the video clip it came from and onto another clip on the "primary storyline" track. Or ... you can simply drag it to the end of the clips on the "primary storyline" and let it off there. Now it will be treated as a clip that is not associated with other clips, and you can delete it if you wish ... just like any other clip. It will not affect the video in the parent clip it came from when it resides on the main story line "track" . Note that all this requires you to get familiar with and work with the "primary storyline" concept. Other than that, the program isn't as bad as I thought it might be after seeing all the negative reviews. It really is revolutionary ... it just works differently and requires us to learn some really new, "out-of-the-box" ways of doing things.

How do you break a closed path?

It's infuriating: Not only is there no indicated means of doing this in the GUI or menus, but there's no result in attempting to search the Web for it.
Once a path is closed, how do you break it open?
And while I'm at it: I have a vector mask. I want to draw another vector shape and subtract it from this vector mask. How would I do this?
Thanks!

Thanks, guys. I will resist going on a tirade about how pathetic this UI is (Delete key having undocumented functionality different from Delete in the menu).
Question about the multiple shapes, however. I've selected the vector mask and picked the freeform pen tool to add another shape.
The original shape is the boat outline, and everything around it was masked out. Now I want to draw another shape at the bottom for the "waterline", also eliminating its contents from the final image. But as you can see, the result only shows the intersection of the two shapes. No matter what I select for "path operations" in the toolbar, the result is exactly the same. Except "merge shape components"; then the empty outlines disappear and I'm left with just the filled section.

How do you auto connect to a PC server resource on re boot w/o having to type the username and password to that resource?

How do you auto connect to a PC server resource on re boot w/o having to type the username and password to that resource?

Open the server as you normally would. When you enter your password, click the box to "remember Password". Once mounted, select the server icon from your desktop and hit Command + L to make an alias. You can move that alias to some place out of the way if you wish. The go to System Preferences/Users and select your user profile, then Login Items. Simply add the alias you just created. Now every time you boot you will automatically be connected to that server.

How do you disable the "Connect to iTunes to Enable Push Notifications" prompt when opening apps on an iPad (OS7)? The message is completely annoying and there is no way to cancel it. You must click on "OK" to use the app. I have already disabled notifications on those apps in the Notification Center.

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf

How do you break the cycles in "connect by nocycles" query.

I looked at the documentation of the oracle hierarchical queries to see if there is a deterministic way of breaking the cycles.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/queries003.htm
I understand that plain connect by query fails if there are cycles in the data, this can be over come by using the nocycles clause. But how does oracle handle the cycles if it finds one, is there a deterministic way of breaking the cycles, or is random? If it is deterministic, Is there a sophisticated algorithm you use to break the cycles?
My sample query is as shown below:
SELECT ename "Employee", CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE "Cycle",
LEVEL, SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(ename, ’/’) "Path"
FROM scott.emp
WHERE level <= 3 AND deptno = 10
START WITH ename = ’KING’
CONNECT BY NOCYCLE PRIOR empno = mgr AND LEVEL <= 4;
Thanks,
Paul

Hi, Paul,

Thanks for the very detailed explanation Frank.
It is interesting that the cycles are not broken at the time of the creation of the hierarchies, but at the time of the traversal.The relationship is only defined in the CONNECT BY clause of a query. When you create and populate tables, you don't indicate in any way that certain columns will be used in a CONNECT BY clause. You're free to use any columns you want when you write the query. You can use different columns and different relationships in different queries.
This leads me to one more question:
Lets say there are multiple routes from a given ancestor node to a decedent node, what would be the value of PATH pseudo column. Does it consider the shortest path or the longest path? If the two routes are of the same length? which would be used?The same node can appear more than once as a descendant of the same ancestor. All paths that satisfy the CONNECT BY clause (and the WHERE clause, if there is one) will be included. For example, the following query shows how Prince William is related to one of his ancestors, Anna Sophie (1700-1780):
SELECT     LEVEL
,     SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (name, ' \ ')     AS path
FROM     royal
WHERE     name     = 'Anna Sophie of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt'
START WITH     name     = 'William of Wales'
CONNECT BY     id     IN (PRIOR mother_id, PRIOR father_id)
;The genealogy table I used showed 8 different line of descent, ranging from 10 to 12 generations:

How do you group connected objects?

Is there a way you can group objects (in my case text boxes) that have been connected? When I try to the "Group" button is greyed out, and if I group them first, I'm unable to connect them (greyed out).

You can't group them, but you can pass them through Preview and get them to one item. To do this, select them all and copy, them open Preview and command-n (or File>New from Clipboard), copy this and paste back into Keynote. Before you do this, make sure your text is how you want it as you can't change it after you do this.

Clicking the line tool at the bottom of the Shapes button menu brings up the grey box shown above.
Following those instructions to draw the three connected line segments shown:
Place the mouse pointer (pen nib) at point 1. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 2. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 3. Click (and release).
Move the pointer to point 4. Click (and release).
Press the esc(ape) key.
Done.
My guess is that you either missed the 'and release' part or the 'press escape to finish' part.

How do you make connection password use single username and password in P/S

Hi
I have installed OBIEE as a standalone on a Windows 2003 server using OC4J and AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS.
I have created a repository using an ODBC connection to a Netezza database. The implementation we have is that we use a single username and password (readonly) to the database.
I have created the physical, business and presentation layers and the repository is consistent and loadas up into the Presentation Server.
When I login into presentation server as say "Administrator", the PS passes the username/password of "Administrator" instead of the username and password setup in the connection pool.
The error is;
-------------------- Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: HY000 code: 108 message: Password authentication failed for user 'ADMINISTRATOR'.
When I create a user with the same username and password as the one used in the connection pool, the requests work. Although thisd lets me work at the moment, it is not a viable solution going forward.
Please can you advise what I need to setup for this to work correctly for me ie., make PS substitute the correct username password when connecting to the ODBC defined in the connection pool?
Thanks in advance.
Danish.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but are you trying to implement anything than standard practise, namely:
1) Using the OBIEE security model to authenticate and log in (i.e. when you log in to Answers you are entering a username as defined in the RPD)
2) Using a fixed username & password as defined on the database to authenticate & authorise when you read data for your reports?
If you use BYPASS_NQS then BI Server will take your login details when you login to Answers (Presentation Server) and pass them through to the database and see if they're valid. This is what's happening when you got the error that you initially posted. With setting at BYPASS_NQS try logging into Answers with the database username&password, I bet it will work.
If you use NQS (the default) then it checks the Answers login against users defined in the RPD, so the reason you couldn't login when you changed it to NQS is that the user/pw you logged in with didn't match what's defined in the RPD.
Try this:
1. Create a new user & pw in the RPD, for argument's sake call it TestRPDUser with the same pw
2. Set authentication to NQS and restart you BI Server
3. Log in to Answers as TestRPDUser - does it work?

How do you break up a movie that you have already created in iMovie 08.

Hi. I created a lengthy movie using iMovie 08, and I realize that I want to break it up into pieces so that I can take advantage of chapters in iDVD. The movie is a collection of hundreds of short videos and photographs, matched to music. I cannot see any way to break up the movie. I also cannot see any way to cut and paste the portions of the movie, without doing it one video/photo at a time, nor can I figure out a way to select large selections of the movie to copy them over to a new project.
Insights or suggestions will be very welcome

In iMovie 08, the source footage is in the EVENT file. The PROJECT file is basically a text file which contains pointers to the event file including in and out points, pointers to the music, transitions, titles etc. Project files are not very large. However, once you share (or render) your project, a copy of the finished movie is also stored in the project file. This is typically much smaller than the event file, because it is in h.264 compression.

Yes, 126GB is some space. I see that there are now 2TB drives available. 126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive. Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space. Moore's Law seams to be alive and well. Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years. This should not be a surprise to NI. Why don't they do something about it.
Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates. I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft. I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement". The world needs more like him.

How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac. What do I do to avoid this?
I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network. When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening. Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out. Is there anything else I need to check?

I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:

How do you break a RAID 1 created in Disk Utility and retain data?

Good Morning all !!
Quick subject question.
Background: I have 2-3 TB of important data that i use only rarely. I purchased two 4TB external drives. I could not use a 2 drive raid enclosure because of the fan noise in the studio. I selected 800 firewire fanless enclosures. The technican talked me into using the Disk Utility Raid 1 in Mountain Lion OS.
Problem: I only plug them in when needed probably once a week. The raid rebuilds every time I use the raid. That takes about a day. This arrangement is less than ideal.
Question: Can I break the raid and still have the data intact on 2 separate drives? Of coarse I would do it when they a rebuilt.
Thanks.
Mike

How do you check connection to a file server

I am using a file server to store test information. I can load this info onto a remote client but as an enhancement I'd like to check that the connection to the server is ok. I have used the error message generated after a call to the volume info vi but I was wondering if there are any more elegant ways of doing this.
Thanks,
Niel.

I would suggest calling the file/dir info function on a file/dir that normally exists on the server. If the function does not error (check the error status) then the network and server are probably Ok.

How do you break area type into columns?

I'm beginning to suspect that you can't.
What I'm looking to do is select my one area text box and set number of columns and be able to control gutter width.
Corel Draw was ridiculously easy with that, but I'm just not finding it with AI.
I'm not looking, if at all possible, to make multiple boxes and flow the text into each of them because that's, well that's just pathetic.
Sorry, don't mean to rant.
Thanks!

With the type frame selected, go to Type>Area Type Options and fill in the necessary.
