How to determine which Aperature Library is the original?

I purchased an Imac a couple of years ago and switched to Aperature to help eliminate duplicates. I spent time bringing them in a little at a time as not to duplicate. I have moved what I thought was the master copy to an external drive so that it would not take up all the space. I show eight copies of Aperature when I click option & then Aperature. Please help me determine which is the main copy as they all have different version and original numbers. I am so confused and was just trying to break it down so that I could manage it in even years at a time so that I could organize faces. Not even really sure what version means as opposed to original. I hope with some guidence I can finally get this right. Thank you in advance if you understand where I am coming from

My short guide here may help you understand the parts of Aperture better, which in turn will help you ask specific questions.
I advise all users of Aperture to read and understand the first seven chapters of the User Manual -- it's available on-line, as well as via "Help➞Aperture Help" -- as they provide a tour of the interface.
You are going to have to do some work. I can tell that you are confused -- Aperture, assuredly, is confusing at first -- but I can't tell what you are asking. You need to distinguish, in your questions, between the files you imported (Aperture calls these "Originals" after you've imported them) and the Images in Aperture (Aperture refers to these as both Images and as Versions). Every Image has an Original. The Original (remember, it's a file) can be stored inside the Aperture Library package, or outside the Library package. These distinctions are covered in both of the resources mentioned above.
If nothing makes sense, post back and we'll see how we can help you.

I just need to know how you get an iTunes library off the original hard drive of a mac and onto an external hard drive and still have it work normally?

How to re-create itunes library with the original itunes library files?

My harddrive was dying so I brought it in to get it replaced. After the replacement was done, my itunes didn't seem to work properly. All my songs are still in the same folders but the library appeared to be corrupted. I attempted to reimport the itunes xml file but still no good.
My question: Is there a way to re-generate a brand new itunes library? All my songs are still intact in \music directory.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Limnos,
Thx for the link. I use the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 within your link and re-import the \music folder. Works like magic.

How to determine which elements are queryable via Web Services QueryPage

I am trying to query opportunities by associated opportunity product revenue records, but I continue to receive errors like "Unexpected text: = '9598015'".
From reviewing the forums, it looks like this is when I am querying a field that is not defined to be queryable.
Could someone please tell me how to determine which fields are queryable on a particular record type like this? I have tried using basic short text fields and indexed short text fields - but continue to receive the error message above.
Thanks in advance.

I found at least partial answers to my questions.
MessageContext.getPropertyNames() can be used to see the properties on a given flow.
MessageContext.getProperty(prop) can be used to get information for paroperties such as:

How to determine which file descriptor opened my driver?

Suppose a user process opens my driver twice. How does open() determine which file descriptor opened the device? In Linux, the kernel will pass a pointer to a structure which represents the open file descriptor. However, Solaris only passes the device number to open(), so I can only determine my device was opened, but not which file. I need this information because my driver needs to keep track of all file descriptors opened for the device.
Thanks!
-Darren

I'm still at a loss why you need to know the file descriptor value (unless the app is sufficiently spaghettied that it has to query the driver to figure out what it opened with what). It's like asking what filename was used to open the device (which you can't get either). Since Solaris is based on a Streams framework, it would be bad to have drivers to even think it has a direct mapping into user space. It would be the same in asking (using /bin/sh):
prog3 4>&1 3>&1 2>&1 | prog2 | prog1
and you want to know from prog1 what descriptor prog3 wrote to. I don't see how linux even does this properly, since any given file open can have multiple file descriptors (via dup).

How to determine which chipset my Satellite L300/700 has?

I have a SATELLITE L300/700 (PSLB8A-047004). The User Guide covers several models. It indicates that the chipset determines which memory modules I need for a memory upgrade. How do I find out which chipset I have, please?
Kev.

> I'm still curious about how to determine which chipset I have - any thoughts?
Go to the device manger and click on IDE Ata/Atapi controllers:

There you will see your chipset installed on your laptop. In my case, as shown on the screenshot is Intel ICH9m

How CSSCAN determines which indexes need to be rebuild ?

Hi everybody,
i'm currently migrating 3 Oracle databases that contain CP1252 characters unproperly stored in WE8ISO8859P1 instances.
The key steps of the migration are :
1. ALTERing CHARACTERSET to WE8MSWIN1252
2. changing CHARACTER SEMANTIC LENGTH for CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns
3. truncating data stored in VARCHAR2(4000) columns
2. Full export
3. Full import in a ALL32UTF8 instance
To do all of this (and especially the step 3), i use the CSSCAN utility (very practical !!!).
And i have a question about CSSCAN: how CSSCAN determines which indexes need to be rebuild. What is the logic ?
Looking at the CSSCAN report, i have a lot of cells/columns that are affected by the characterset migration, and i have just a few index to rebuild.
Why would i like to understand the logic ? Because i would like to rebuild ONLY indexes that REALLY need to be rebuilt and i am not sure that all the indexes specified by CSSCAN really need to be rebuilt.
Thanks for any information about that.
(and sorry for my english)
NB: i have managed "function-based indexes" specifically: i drop them before the export, and i recreate them after the import. So my question mostly target the "regular indexes"

1. All indexes whose key contains at least one character column with convertible or exceptional data, excluding indexes with names equal to some constraint name for the same owner.
plus
2. All functional indexes on tables that have columns needing conversion, excluding indexes with names equal to some constraint name for the same owner.
The condition regarding constraints does not seem to be very fortunate but it comes from times when the appropriate flag in index metadata was not yet available.
But note that in your migration scenario, you do not actually have to care much about indexes. Step 1 & 2 do not need any modifications to the user data and hence to index contents. Step 3, if done through UPDATE, will modify affected indexes automatically. Step 4 does not affect the database. Step 5 will recreate all existing indexes anyway.

I have been sent a 'word document' in which are a series of boxes about thirty lines long to insure written text. When Pages opens the document it extends these to a whole A4 page how do I get it to retain the original layout

You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.
From my point of view, as I refuse to give a cent to M...soft, the best way to deal with documents issued by their Office suite is to use the free libreOffice.

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

How to determine via SQL who created the sales order

Hello I am trying to determine via SQL who created the Sales Order. I'm looking at the ADOC table but having a hard time determining which record points to the sales order creation.

Hi Jimmy,
Try this:
select
     T0.[DocNum], T2.[DocDate], T2.[CardCode], T2.[CardName],
     T1.U_NAME as [User Name], T2.UpdateDate as [Cancelled Date]
from
     ORDR T0
     inner join OUSR T1 on T0.UserSign = T1.UserID
     inner join ADOC T2 on T0.DocNum = T2.DocNum
where
     T2.LogInstanc = (select min(LogInstanc) from ADOC T3 where T3.ObjType = 17 and T3.DocNum = T0.DocNum and T3.CANCELED = 'Y')
     and T2.CANCELED = 'Y'
     and T2.ObjType = 17
group by
     T0.DocNum, T2.DocDate, T2.CardCode, T2.CardName, T1.U_NAME, T2.UpdateDate
Kind Regards,

How to find which function module write the relevant idoctype?

Dear All,
how to find which function module write the relevant idoctype?

Hi,
Generally the function modules of the idoc types are having a naming convention as IDOC_INPUT for inbound processing and IDOC_OUTPUT for outbound processing followed by the idoc type name
for example : For IDOC type ORDERS
the inbound function module will be IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and for outbound IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERSP
In this way you can find the function module for a particular IDOC
P.S: Hope this is what you have asked for

How to identify which key figure will the numeric pointer for deltas?

Hi All,
I have created a numeric pointer for generic extraction ? but how to identify which key figure will the numeric pointer will use for deltas ?
how to identify the key figures which is suitable for numeric pointer. And the generic extraction is based upon the copa table?
Can anyone suggest me how the numeric pointer works and how to identify deltas are carried out at numeric pointer?
Thanks
Pooja

Pooja,
If you are using a generic extractor which is based on COPA table, then numeric pointer may not be the suggested delta extraction mechanism.
A time stamp would be the better one to use. In a time stamp, you can give a lower limit value of 300 seconds.. so that it will try to fetch the missed records.
Moreover, a delta would be based on a character, preferably a time char.
In your requirement, try to figure out the character on whichdeltas will be based.

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner?

How to identify which applicarion is using the DVD burner? Ot is not allow me to burn the DVDs genetrated in the Final Cut 7

I think you'll find that the application is Final Cut Pro... the message is bug. I get a similar message when disconnecting external drives after using them with FCP (even when the project is no longer loaded.)
As I mentioned above, the accepted workflow is to export the sequence to one of your hard drives using the Export>QuickTime Movie path with Settings:Current Settings and Make Movie Self-Contained checked like this:
This gets you a high quality "master copy" which you open in Compressor for transcoding. You should use the DVD: Best Quality setting for the duration of your movie.
this gets you the high quality MPEG-2 and AC-3 files for DVD Studio Pro authoring.
If you've never used DVD Studio Pro before, you can use iDVD instead. For iDVD, you just drag and drop your "master" on iDVD and it takes it from there. Both make a very professional product.
hope this helps.

I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.
