How to have iMovie events in one single shared folder ?

Hi,
I have an iMac configured with multi-user sessions (one per family member). I start with iMovie, and it seems that when working with events and projects, all data is located on personal user root folder.
My requirements are 1) to avoid duplication of data, and 2) allow every one to work with imported events.
I tried to locate all events & projects in the iMac shared folder, however iMovie does not recognize them anymore.
What is the solution ?

Good Morning tonitri,
I understand you want to share iMovie libraries, events and projects among different users on your iMac without duplicating or copying data to each user account.
My suggestion would be to use a large capacity external Thunderbolt, FireWire or USB drive for all of your video files so that everyone in your family has access to the libraries, imported clips, events, projects, and exported final movies that you create with iMovie.
You could organize the information any number of ways. One way to start is to create a library for each family member on the external drive.
Take a look at the following resources for iMovie:

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

I have a fairly new iMac wI now have iMovie events and Final Cut pro events that are duplicates. Does that mean that all my video is copied onto my hard dive twice?

If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW? If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)? I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.

If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.

How to have iCal Server share one or more calendars?

Hello everybody.
I'm really new to iCal Server, and I'd like to be able to create and share one or more calendars for a couple of users. I'm running Mac Mini with OSX SL Server 10.6.5 and have iMacs with the same OS.
Any how-to or such, to read and step-by-step configure the stuff?
I'm already looking at the Apple PDF (from Resources) but I'm stuck where it tells me to create the SRV record: I don't know which fields to fill in with the infos provided.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
F.

Yes, it is Flavio.
There are other threads that claim you can disregard the manual in this respect. I tried disregarding it. It'll seem to work. Then within days users will complain of intermittent (1) "calendar not found", (2) "lack of permissions", and (3) "conflicts with client-side versus server-side" errors.
Creating the SRV is essential in this, because it's registering the iCal service with DNS, and DNS is telling the client how to involve the server in the service. To be technically accurate, the server does have a default response when the SRV doesn't exist, so, yes, it will work at times..., but it's hard to explain this to your users when they're asking you about clicking through error dialogs every five minutes. "What do I do here? Should I be worried about this?" You'll be pulling your hair out. I was. Once I had the SRV up, though, the errors have entirely disappeared.
In addition to the things in my last post, having Push Notifications working is also wonderful. Follow the steps in the manual, but basically it involves turning Push on before starting up iCal.
Lastly, there's the question of moving users' old calendars (which are client-based) over to the iCal server (which is server-based): You can't just import-then-export, or you'll find other, nagging errors (basically of type "3", above). As far as I've been able to tell, if the user's calendar contains events where they're not the organizer (and it will), you'll get errors because the user has now assumed an event they don't own. The errors you'll get are basically the server asking, "Who owns this thing? I don't get it."
Sadly, the only way around this is I've found is for the end-user to context-click on each old event and move it to the new calendar. When the calendar options there are ghosted, they'll know they have an event they don't own.
But once you get past this point, it works beautifully. Users get really excited, because they now see the wonderful opportunities they now have. And that makes you feel it was worth it (especially when you think of how much they'd be spending on Exchange).

How do I transfer events from one iphoto library to another?

I have 2 iphoto libraries. How do I transfer some events from one to the other?

Either:
1. Export from Library A to the Finder and then import to Library B - this means you won't get the edit history of the images nor will you get all the metadata
or
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager for the job, which will get all versions and all metadata
or
3. If you have Aperture, use that.

How to save multiple tables on one single save button in JDeveloper.

hi all,
i have two tables on a JSF page.
the parent and child tables has 1 to many relationship.
its like for department id i have many employee_id's.
in my scenario ,
i have to give values to both parent and child tables at a time on one single click on add button. and after clicking on one single save button i should be able to commit the data into database for both the tables at a time.
its similar like a hire a person in fusion applications , when you clinked on hire person. all the related tables populated to give data and on one single save committing data to database.
please help in this. and its my urgent requirement for my application design.
am beginner to the J Developer Tool and ADF.
regards,
M vijayalakshmi.

I assume you are using ADF BC as your business components. Now if both your Master and Chail VO are instances of the same AM, the commit operation of the AM will take care of it. You just have to drag and drop the commit operation as a Save button in your page

How to trigger another events during one event is running?

dear all,
i have two events. both of them are triggered by pussing two different buttuns.
one has been triggered and at running status.
right now i can't not trigger the other events. clicking the buttons doesn't give my any response.
does any one have some ideas?
thank you very much
Jack

Hello Jack
When you select edit events in the context menu from the event case, a dialog appears. At the bottom is a check box which allows to lock the frontpanel until the event is executed (meaning the event case is finished). If you disable this case, the frontpanel is not locked, but the events are not handled before the event case is called for the next time. Therefore it should be placed in a loop. There are some examples in LabVIEW which might help.
If you want to trigger the second event when the first is not finished yet, you must create two separe event cases, each in an own loop. And the check box mentioned above must be off for both events.
I hope this helps. If not, aks again.
Greetings

How to concatenate two colums into one single column

I need some ideas to concatenate two different columns into one single column using a set of distinct values.
For Example,
Customer Product Number
xyz A 1
xyz B 2
xyz B 1
AAA C 7
AAA A 1
The result should look like this,
Customer Value
xyz A1 B2 B1
AAA C7 A1
How would I group this into once value ?
Thanks in advance ...

How to have multiple orders for a single contract

Hi all, my question is:
How to have multiple orders with respect to a contract which is valid for many years? The orders are given periodically over the lifetime of the contract. Once the order is given, the order quantity needs to be confirmed and then the order needs to be billed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bappaditya,
To get multiple orders from a contract, you can either create an order as a follow up document from the contract
Or
Maintain the contract determination settings.
In such a case, everytime you create an order the contract determination happens, for the particular business partner and product.
For this to happen you need to maintain the customizing settings:
1. Copy Control between contract and order
2. Contract determination setting in the order transaction type
The qunatity confirmation can be done by standard setting at itme category level.i.e. If the quantity is more than that stated in the contract an error is raised.
For billing of order you will have to maintain the billing setings like billing type, biliing item category, billing item determination.
Hence every time your order is created it comes in the billind due list from where you can create the blling document.
Wish the information is helpful.

Shalini Chauhan

Do all members in Family Sharing have to pay with one single account's credit card?

I have a credit card registered in my account and my sister has her own credit card, yet, I want us to Family Share some apps and music albums.
When I sent my sister the Family Sharing (FS) invitation, she told me she would better not join the family 'cause then we would both have to pay with one credit card (which would be mine since I'm the family organizer). I wanted to know if this is actually true or if each family member can have his/her own credit card even after FS.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

It is true. All purchases by members of the family group are charged to the family organizer's credit card. The only workaround for this would be for her to purchase and redeem iTunes gift card to create and iTunes store credit for her account. Then her purchases would first be deducted from her credit before any balance due would be charged to the organizer's card.

How to setup a custom background in network shared folder Server 2012

I tried this solution but did not work:
Create a desktop.ini fine inside that folder and put following contents,

Please help me, thanks guys!

Hi,
As you said it will not work since Windows Vista. I've seen some third party appliations could help change the background of a shared folder.

Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

Hello All,
I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.
