How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID mirror? Z87-G45
How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID with Z87-G45? I'm using a simple two drive, RAID 1 mirror setup.
I'm currently at bios 1.4, and want to move up. However, last time I upgraded the BIOS, the machine rebooted with improper settings for the RAID (they get hosed during BIOS flash) and Windows decided to auto-repair the only boot drive it could see, one half of the mirror, because it couldn't see the RAID array correctly and *POOF* bare-metal reinstall required.
My PC will not let me press the DEL key on bootup to access the bios, even with MSI Fast Boot not installed. It just ignores the DEL key and tries to load windows which, if that happens, will flame-out my RAID array after a bios flash if I can't catch it to enable the RAID first before windows loads.
I do not want to rebuild my PC again simply because I do a BIOS update.
FYI: BIOS 1.4 & 1.8 are using the same RAID version: 12.7.0.1936
based on this RAID surprise should not hapends.
But as pandaz says if you have no issues, leave bios update alone.
there are still risks something to messed up,
best do a backup of your data just in case if you want to try latest version

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?
I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?
You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account? -
How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?
I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?
Attachments:
print_array.vi 112 KBDave,
The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
"Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.
Thank you for using the Developer Zone Discussion Forums.

Changing SSL Cert, how do you update the trust profile for devices.
I am in the process of changing out the ssl cert for the trust profile (going from a self-signed to a signed cert). How do you update the trust profile on the devices already paired with the server.
Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are. SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file. Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it. otherwise it will update when you save the linked file. Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO. You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files. You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
And if so,
1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked? -
how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.
If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
if ims is {} then return {}
if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
if i < 2 then return rest of ims
if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
set numitems to length of ims
if length of ims < 2 then return ims
set ims_shuffled to {}
set nextrest to ims
repeat until nextrest is {}
set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
set nextpick to item i of nextrest
set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
set numitems to numitems - 1
set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
end repeat
return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
local imageSel, shuffled, i
tell application "Aperture"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection)
set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
set fullscreen to true
if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
end repeat
set fullscreen to false
return shuffled
end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
tell library 1
if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
end if
end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
end repeat

How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?
I have a sample Office 365 Mail app
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/Outlook-Email-Forwarder-App-650a5b41/view/Discussions/0?showDiscussionForm=True
The app loads great and I can see run it ok. But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running? I was able to update it once but am not sure what I did.
Any suggestions?Hi,
>> But if I update the HTML page it never gets updated. How do I update the code for the mail app once it is up and running?
In debug mode, you need to reload the app by click the mail app to reflect the changes.
>> How to you update the html once a Mail app is published?
If you have already published the web application (for example, on Azure), you need to re-publish the web application to reflect the page changes.
Please let me know whether it works for you.

Jeffrey

How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?
How do you silence the opening chord when you turn on the iMac?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend you to disable the startup sound. It indicates hardware problems when your computer is not working correctly, so it is important to leave it turned on. What you can do is to reduce the volume in OS X.
Anyway, if you want to disable the startup sound, the easiest way is to turn off the volume in OS X. -

How do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?
how do you update the ipad 4.3.5 with a computer?
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.1.1 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

SPD 2013 - Copy Document action - how do you update the copied list item's metadata?
SharePoint 2013 Designer no longer has the Copy List Item Action, it only has a Copy Document action. It seems that this action provides no way of saving the copied documents list item ID. How do you update the list item after it has been copied??
Any help is appreciated.
Greg PiersonHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy the list item in SharePoint 2013.
The Copy List Item is
available only on the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform, you can create a SharePoint 2010 workflow using the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform to achieve it.
You can also use the Content and Structure to copy the list items: Site Settings->Site Administration->Content and Structure.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason
