How to create a 10.5.3 install DVD from 10.5 DVD

Hi,
since want to reinstall leopard I'm wondering if it's possible to install 10.5.3 directly although I just got the first version 10.5 DVD.
Maybe there is a way of bundling the necessary combo updates and creae a new DVD ( or image ) and install from it ?
Thank you in advance,
Axel.

Well...yes....maybe.
Here's something I found a few years ago, on Tiger:
Mac OS X Server: How to Add Packages to an OS Install Image
This document explains how to add packages to an operating system installer disk image.
To include additional application or file packages in an operating system installer disk image, copy the packages into the image, and then use a text editor such as TextEdit to update the property list (.plist) file that describes the packages in the image.
Follow these steps to add packages to an OS installer disk image:
• 1. Make sure the disk image file (.dmg) is unlocked. If necessary, select the image file in the Finder and choose Show Info from the File menu. Be sure the Locked checkbox is not selected. You may need to log in as the root user to unlock the file.
• 2. Double-click the image file to mount it.
• 3. Copy your packages or metapackages into the following folder in the mounted image: /System/Installation/Packages
• 4. In the same folder, Control-click the OSInstall.mpkg file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
• 5. Open the Contents folder (inside OSInstall.mpkg).
• 6. Use a text editor to open the file Info.plist. To open the file in TextEdit, for example, drag the file's icon onto the icon for the TextEdit application.
• 7. Add a new <dict>...</dict> entry for your package within the array of entries under the key IFPkgFlagPackageList. You can copy one of the existing entries, then just change the value of the IFPkgFlagPackageLocation key to the name of the package you put in the Packages folder.
• 8. Repeat step 6 for each package you want to install.
• 9. Save the updated property list.
• 10. Eject the image.
I did this, and it works for Tiger. I was hoping Leopard would have the same capabilities. I am betting it does, somewhere. MacGeekery.com was a place I was considering asking.

How to create a Windows 7 USB install disk from a retail copy of Windows 7.

I have Mac Book Pro and a iMac. Somehow Superdrive of my iMac is broke. Now I want to install a copy of a Original Retail Copy of Windows7 but I can't.
Bootcamp 4 allows to make a USB Drive but the option is greyed out whatever I try.
Please Help me to install Windows 7 on my Mac.

you restart your mac and as soon as it boots up (usually you hear the dvd making a noise, or the gong sound), you hold down the Alt key until you see a screen that shows you all the partitions/drives you can boot from. you select the boot camp one, while the windows usb installation disk is inserted and it should boot up from the usb. it worked for me, but I can't guarantee it will work for you too... depending on your model. mine is an early-2009 macbook.

How to install Leopard from an external DVD reader?

Hi,
I've bought Leopard today. unfortunately, it's not yet installed on my PowerBook. As my SuperDrive is dead, I use now an external DVD (Lacie Portable DVD-RW), but it doesn't work. I can read the Leopard install DVD, but when it reboot, it reboot on my current installation.
I've tried the following during the boot sequence:
- alt pressed, but I can only see my main HDD
- c pressed, but I boot on my current installation
Can you tell me if it is possible to install Leopard from an external DVD, and how can I do that ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Emmanuel Di Pretoro

Can you tell me if the same problem occur with a FireWire external DVD ?
It does not occur on your model of Mac.

How to make one dvd from several camcoder dvd's. I got a dvd camcoder, to be able to play them into DVD player I had to finalize my disks. Now I got several DVD's whith short files and terrible custom camera menu. I'd like to make it more presentable.
The main problem is I dont want to recode my vob files. So Final Cut and other editing soft is bad idea.
Is there any soft on mac I could reauthor my DVD's?

How to Create a Windows 7 USB install disk

If you want to install Windows from a USB drive, you'll need the Boot Camp Assistant (version 4.0.1) and a MacBook Air. I don't know why it won't let you do it on other Macs and MacBooks (the option still shows up, only it's greyed out) - if you made it work on anything other than a MacBook Air, let me know how you did it. So, besides that, you also need an empty USB drive and a genuine Windows ISO file.
However, if in your case the Windows USB creation option is greyed out, this is what you can do:
You create the Windows installation USB, using one of these two ways (I used the first one):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd535816.aspx
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
You create the Windows partition with BCA.
In System Settings, you choose the newly created BOOTCAMP partition as the startup disk and restart your Mac.
Have your Windows USB inserted before your Mac restarts.
As soon as your Mac boots from the BOOTCAMP partition, it should start loading Windows Setup from the USB drive.
I have an early 2009 MacBook and these steps worked for me. It's a workaround... but it works. Let me know if it worked for you.
* If none of this works for you, there is another workaround, using 3rd party software (rEFIt). However, I don't recommend using it, unless you know what you're doing.
* Disclaimer - This info comes as is and I do not guarantee that it will work for you. Nor do I guarantee that it will not cause any malfunction to occur on your Mac computer.

you restart your mac and as soon as it boots up (usually you hear the dvd making a noise, or the gong sound), you hold down the Alt key until you see a screen that shows you all the partitions/drives you can boot from. you select the boot camp one, while the windows usb installation disk is inserted and it should boot up from the usb. it worked for me, but I can't guarantee it will work for you too... depending on your model. mine is an early-2009 macbook.

A How To: Create a Widescreen High Definition Slide Show from the Organizer

[EDIT] I just tried another one and, weirdly, that produced an output with black bars around all four sides! So maybe this 'how to' is not 100%. I have considered deleting the post altogether but, as it does still produce a superior slideshow quality file than the standard ones provided with Elements, I've decided to leave it with this edit added at the top for additional info.[END_EDIT]
In answering a question in another forum I found a nice quick way to create proper widescreen high definition slide shows from just the Elements Organizer. Apologies if this is 'old news' to readers, but I've not seen this described elsewhere so I thought I'd share it.
The Organizer Slide Show creator, if not wanting to edit in PRE, provides a small set of Windows Media Player profiles to create .wmv files. But the best of these goes only to 1024x768 (a 4:3 monitor resolution setting). I've noticed, but never paid much attention to, that at the bottom of the Slide Size box there is a 'Browse for more' option that lets you search for additional Windows Media Encoder profiles. Investigation showed me that I can download the Windows Media Encoder software from Microsoft and create my own profiles. But even further investigation showed me that someone had already done this! I've tested their full HD profile and it works just fine (1920x1080).
So if you are just after a straightforward slide show (i.e. not needing PRE features) but want it displayed on your Full HD TV set here is what you do:
Download the HD Profiles from http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/236895-hd-profiles-for-windows-movie-maker/. There's also a couple of useful SD sizes there as well. Save them somewhere you can easily find them.
Create your slide show in the Organizer. Obviously use appropriately sized images for HD. There's little point outputting an HD wmv file using low resolution and/or 4:3 aspect ratio images.
Save and Output your slide show.
In the output dialog ('Save As a File') scroll down to the bottom of Slide Size and select 'Browse for more ...'.
Browse to the file you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
Click OK and your Widescreen HD .wmv file is prepared.
Here's a Gspot analysis of my test output file. As you can see it is an HD file with a 16:9, square pixel, aspect ratio.
Ta Da!
Cheers,
Neale

You did not mention a specific Premiere Elements Elements Organizer combo for this, so for now I will address this from the version 11, not Windows Movie Maker, perspective if I need to get version specific.
.prx
The Browse for More is a well known route and does offer at least one Adobe profile for 1280 x 720 16:9. I am not sure where you came up with the lesser resolution,1024 x 768 that you mentioned. The Windows Media profiles have existed for several versions of Elements Organizer. Those Adobe ones that you do not see under Output Save As A File Movie (.wmv), can be found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path
Local Disc C
Profile Files (x86)
Adobe
Elements 11 Organizer
Assets
Locale
en_US
tv_profiles
in the tv_profiles Folder are included the .prx files
.....10. 640 x 480 Enhanced Definitions
.....12. 852 x 480 Widescreen Enhanced Definition
.....14 1280 x 720 Widescreen High Definition
A homemade 1920 x 1080 16:9 30 frames per second .prx has long been sought but not that easily produced by many using with the Windows Media Encoder Editor. Apparently you have found one online, and it does get accepted into the Premiere Elements 11 Browse for More choices. And, if you do a gspot readout for the wmv output from Elements Organizer 11, it will display all the "right" properties that you hoped for and that are shown in your screenshot.
The bottom line, why bother with the wmv slideshow? If you take your original photos and size them for 1920 x 1080 16:9, use them in the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor (Crops used in preferences), use the Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command, what you get in Premiere Elements 11 is full and good in all regard. Have you tried it?
I can see your interest if this is HD going to HD (AVCHD on DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc, but I do not see this for an Elements Organizer Slideshow that is going to DVD-VIDEO widescreen.
More later.

How to create a report based on selected item from Select list?

Hi,
I have created a tables_LOV based on:
select table_name d, table_name r from user_tab_cols
where column_name like '%_type%'
Then I created a page item ListOfTables, Display as select list and pointing to tables_LOV.
I run the page, and i can select the table i want from the drop down list.
How to create a report based on the selected item? (ex: select * from selected_table)
many thanks in advance
Salah

Hi Salah,
Allright, have a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report
I think that simulates what you're trying to accomplish. I've set up the simplest method I could think of.
The report is based on an apex collection. If you are not familiar with that, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION
To recreate my example you should:
1) create an (interactive) report on your collection
SELECT *
   FROM APEX_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
2) create a page_item select list for the tables you want to display (in my case this is called "P38_TABLES" )
3) create a dynamic action that triggers on change of your select list page_item. The dynamic action must be a PL/SQL procedure perfoming the following code:
declare
l_query varchar2(4000);
begin
l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
if apex_collection.collection_exists
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
then
    apex_collection.delete_collection
      ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
end if;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
    ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
    , p_query           => l_query
end;
Make sure you add your page_item to the "Page Items to Submit" section.
4) Add an extra true action that does a refresh of the report region.
Here are two pictures describing the da:

How to create a dyanamic query in PL/SQL from XML

Hi Forum,
I am having an XML file with tags. I am controlling my JSP page layout with these tags and it is working fine. But I need to send the Orange colour nodes to a pl/sql in the JSP page to construct the query as per the XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Jobmanage>
<Customer name="StGeorge">
<Column>
<Name>QM_NUMBER</Name>
<Title>Job Number</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
Arial
<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<cloumn1> QM_NUMBER <column1>
</Column>
<Column>
<Name>QM_JOB_STATUS</Name>
<Title>Job Status</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
Arial
<Size>105</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<column2>QM_JOB_STATUS</column2>
</Column>
<Column>
<Name>QM_USER_STATUS</Name>
<Title>User Status</Title>
<Width>10</Width>
Arial
<Size>10</Size>
<Align>center</Align>
<Display>Yes</Display>
<column3>QM_USER_STATUS</column3>
</Column>
</Customer>
</Jobmanage>
The select statement I am using n the JSP page is
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
Can you give me instructions how to create the above SQL statement dynamically as per the XML file. I want the select statement in a pl/sql
BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >= SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH))
END
So, when ever the columns hirerachy changed in the XML file it should show theat effect in the PL/SQl. Thats hoe I am aiming to develop.
Thankx for you time.
Cheers,
Krishna

I want the select statement in a pl/sql BEGIN
SELECT Q.QM_NUMBER, Q.QM_JOB_STATUS, Q.QM_USER_STATUS FROM QMI Q WHERE ((Q.QM_JOB_STATUS
IN (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)) OR (Q.QM_JOB_STATUS IN (12) AND Q.QM_CLOSE_DATE >=
SYSDATE - INTERVAL '6' MONTH)) ENDThat doesn't make sense. Such a plsql block would not compile. What is your final goal you want to achieve with this?

How to create and maintain a backup catalog, separate from default location, on and external HD

How to create and maintain a backup catalog on a separate hd - separate from default location of the catalog?

Simply copy the LR catalog backup file to another location. It’s quite small and only contains metadata e.g. your edit develop settings, keywords, captions, titles and camera exif data etc.
The LR backup does not physically copy your image files. So make sure you have a separate system backup for your photo files and folders.

How to create 2 output signal locked in phase from a one input signal

Hi all,
I have a case in which I want read in a signal analog input (voltage) from a photodiode, I want to create a 2 sinewave signal locked in with same phase as the input signal and output them as analog output to my 2 laser diode. the frequency of the input signal is low aroud 15 Hz , the 2 output signal i want to be around 120 hz and 150 hz .
I am using USB - 6003 daq card.
I have created a vi to see the input signal but I dnt know how to create 2 signal from the waveform generator locked in the phase as the input signal. I have seen a PLL vi , but dont know how to use that with my program.
can any one tell me how to proceed.
thanks

Hi AnkitG,
Here are a couple of links that might help you understand a little more how the PLL work and a way to synchronize the task to perform a PLL.

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2F675A9F2162EA24862572570059A308?OpenDocument
Also, you should be able to find a lot of examples on how to accomplish the synchronization of tasks on the community, if you consider that the only consideration is that both must start at the same moment.
I hope, these examples might show you some useful concepts:
