How to make your Bose QC2's fit your iPhone - or maybe any other headphones

First off, I've read so many threads of people acting really mad that their iphone either doesn't do this or that... People are strange like that. I was even a little upset about the $200 drop, but since it happened I've moved on and I really don't mind.
Anyways, I'm a very proud owner of an iPhone and a pair of Bose QC2's.. I love both of them. I felt bad that the QC2's didn't fit the iPhone, so I purchased the Belkin adapter. Bad choice. Imagine sitting on an airplane with that 3 inch long adapter sticking out of your iphone like an antenna, then your headphones plugged in. The two guys sitting in the row beside me were laughing - I knew they were. So I trashed the belkin adapter. It ***** anyways. Don't buy it.
I got home and took a second look at my QC2's and thought, "what if I cut back the plastic/rubber piece so that it WOULD fit?" So I did, and not only did it look good, but it seated perfectly and it sounded GREAT!
So here's how to do it. All you need is a new strait edge razor... (the kind you would scrape paint off a window)
Begin cutting in very small increments. Cut strait down by pushing down through the plastic/rubber until it hits the metal. it cuts almost like butter. Go all the way around. I cut off the equivalent thickness of a 5 cent nickel. It will take you less than 5 minutes to make this happen.
When you're done, you'll find that it fits perfectly, AND that the structural integrity of the male end is not compromised at all.
I have a photo taken by the iphone. It's a little blurry since I don't know how to get a clear super close up, but the picture shows the results and what it looks like underneath. If anyone can host it for me, that would be great. it that's the case, I'll get out my D100 and get some very good shots of it.
Good Luck!

has anyone tried it?

How to make a remote panel file dialog open remote directory from any computer

Hello to everybody. I am using Labview 6.1 and I would like to know how to make a remote panel file dialog open remote directory from any computer (Not only from a specific computer. If I open the file with a specific computer, I have to conect the path of the remote machine, but if I don´t know which remote computer is going to run the aplication, how can I do it?)?

Hi!
first you have to know progammatically the name of the remote pc connected to your server: this is a problem!
I did not find a straigth way, LV 6.1 doesn't allow much progammatic control on the remote panel connection feature, but I'm confident that in the next LV version this will be improved!
The point is that the Remote Panel Connection Manager (from the Tools menu) has all the informations about the connection: client name, server vi and whatever.
This application is embedded in the \PROJECT\REMOTEPANEL.LLB and consists of a set of password protected vis.
So here's the trick: use VIServer to grab data from the rpcm Get Server Data.vi when the Remote Panel Connection Manager is in run mode. By this you get all the informations (not only client name)o
f the remote panel connection. See my example.
By the way use client machine name to build the file dialog function input path.
If anybody has an alternative method it would be more than appreciated to share it.
Good luck,
Alberto Locatelli

How to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other soft

Hai,
can any one tell me how to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other software.
i have used tomcat web server and jdk1.4.0 to develop web service.
we have used web service to interact with MS outlook .

Hi Sudhakar,
If you are used to working with ant then you can very well use eclipse to deploy your web service.
You would usually have the ant script in the source root working directory. From eclipse if you select the build file from the navigator view and right click you will see a run ant option in the pop up menu.
Select that option and you would be able to see each targets with a checkbox select option. So define each target maybe one for wsdl2java conversion, one for compilation and one for deploying your web services. You can either make all of them run by having depends option on or you can run them individually as it takes your fancy.
I am not sure about debugging a web service yet.
Hope this helps

How to Make a Line of Best Fit/Best Fit Line/Trendline in iWork Numbers '09

I'm not sure if this is well-known or has been answered elsewhere already, but multiple Google searches have not shown this solution on how to create a line of best fit in Numbers '09 (there is another method that involves drawing a line yourself, but this is much easier and more accurate).
I stumbled across this trying the above self-draw technique and got so excited I wanted to post the technique. So here is what you do:
1) Type out your X and Y data
2) Select the data and select Charts, then select the Scatter Plot
3) Open up Inspector and select the Chart tab
4) Select the "Series" tab below the picture of the Scatter Plot and the "Chart Colors..." button
5) At the bottom of the Inspector window, open the "Advanced" arrow
6) Select the "Trendline" tab and select the "Linear" trendline from the drop-down bar
That's it! You can even select the options to show the line equation or the R-squared value!
Here is a picture of the selected options and what your graph should look like (check that nice R-squared value!).
http://i.imgur.com/AvfPv.png
I hope this helps and hope it moves up to the top of the Google search page for this feature.

Hi Asclepius37,
Why not just search "trend" or "trendline" in the Numbers '09 User Guide?
That would take you to page 149 of the guide and the article "Showing Trendlines in Charts," which lists a set of instructions very similar to those in your post.
The Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are searchable pdf files, and may both be downloaded through kinks in the Help menu in Numbers. Both are excellent resources to have on hand.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Searching "best fit" will return zero results, but "best" or "best-fit" will get you to the same article.

How to make a Dynamic Link starting in After Effects to Premier (not other way around)

I have seen a ton of tutorials how to Dynamic Link from Premier to After Effects. (but not the other way around. )
I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier.
For example if I make a title in After Effects and then want to dynamic Link it into Premier how is this done?
Thanks!!

I've looked at this too. When I first started using DL, I thought that it was basically a two way street between applications. But that analogy doesn't work very well. DL is PPro-centric. Like PPro is the hub, DL the spokes, and the other Abobe applications are on the rim. And this makes a fair amount of sense. The central feature of an editing suite is the editor, and that would be PPro.
Another way to look at it is that you can push from PPro to AE, and PPro can pull from AE, but AE can not push to PPro. So the direct answer to "I need instructions/video how to link starting in After Effect to Premier" is, you can't. What you can do is make your title composition in AE, import that AE project into PPro, and use the composition as you would any other asset in PPro. Then when you change your title in AE, you'll see the change in PPro almost immediately without you having to do anything.
When I'm making motion lower thirds, for example, I now make them in AE. I let the AE project reside in the directory with the PPro project that I made the lower thirds for. Then when I want the lower thirds in PPro, I just import the AE lower thirds into the PPro project. There's a few ways to do this. One is to use the Media Browser. The MB will open up the AE project for you and let you select which composition you want to import. Another way is to File...Adobe Dynamic Link...Import AE composition which does more or less the same thing. There may be other ways as well, IDK.

Hi, I have lost my iphone but i have its backup in itunes, how can i restore using itunes or is there any other way for this
please suggest

You can restore that backup to a replacement iPhone, if that's what you're asking. If you want to extract data from the iPhone backup, you'll need third-party software to do so:

How to make a Bose sound deck access iTunes?

I am a real novice and this one is a bit around the houses, but I'd be grateful for any insight anyone can give me!
I bought a Mac Pro dual core about 3 years ago now. At the time I requested an Airport card, but when I got it home, it was not installed. My router ended up being right next to the computer so I connected by ethernet and forgot about it.
We moved quite recently and this became an issue. The wireless router is on the ground floor and the desktop, in the loft conversion! I explored retro fitting an Airport card, but I was told it was difficult and expensive (should have got the apple store to sort it out originally...). Anyway I ended up using a Netgear wireless extender, on the middle floor to boost the Virgin wireless router, with an Airlink dongle in the Mac's USB port, to get the internet in the loft.
This works fine (most of the time...). BUT and heres the issue today. My husband just bought a Bose Sound deck 10, which is on the ground floor. He wants to be able to play his music from iTunes (which is in the loft). He has today bought an Airport Express, thinking this was going to link up nicely. I can see how it could with the airport card, which we don't have. However it does seem that we should be able to make Airplay work, but the Mac can't see the Airport Express. Can I somehow use my extended wireless network of Netscape extender and Airlink dongle, to make this work??? I can't seem to find a way to access it.
Or can anyone suggest a better way to do this? Not sure if its relevant, but he has downloaded Remote from the app store to his iPad, to enable him to play his (vast) music collection on the Bose. the iPad can see his iTunes account from downstairs - so that distance doesn't seem a problem. Just back to the issue of how to get that music to play through the Bose.
I hope this makes sense. I am 8 months pregnant, so not a lot does right now to be fair. He's in a bit of a grump about it and I know if I don't sort it now...!!!
Thanks in advance.

If iTunes doesn't recognize a set of iOS device backup folders as valid then the chances of rescuing any data from them are slim. There are various iOS device backup extraction tools that may or may not do something useful, I've not had reason to test them.

How to make a huge file size fit

I have a project which is (sounds silly) about 7 hours. the file sizes arn't that big about 300 meg each but the 0verall project size is 20 gig can I possibly somehow encode this size of project to fit on a 4.7 dvd or should I make one long film in FCP and export that as a QT or something like that......

You have a couple of options.
First, consider creating a DVD9 and using AC3 audio - your bitrate would have to be about 2.3Mbps... which is very low, and the visual quality may not be too great.
Second, instead of using full D1 sizes, use Half D1, which reduces the horizontal resolution and therefore the file size. The visual quality is (IMO) better than VHS and you could encode at slightly over 4Mbps, which is getting acceptable.
Third, consider making a two disc set. This is not such a bad option as you get to use full D1 encodes at higher resolutions, but of course need to make two DVDSP projects for the content.
If you went for a double sided and dual layer disc you could achieve the same thing.
Finally, consider using MPEG1. This has a max data rate of about 1.5Mbps, and so you should easily fit 7 hours on a DVD9... and probably on a DVD5, too (at about 1.4Mbps).
In all cases, reduce the audio to AC3, no matter what.
A final option is to be more aggressive with the editing decisions! Cut back on the total amount of footage and get it all on a DVD9 at higher bitrates.
As a guide, four hours of D1 would need to be encoded at 4.5Mbps to fit on a DVD9, using AC3 audio at 192kbps (a stereo sound track).

How to Make DropDowns in Navigation Menu Fit

http://ahy4life.com/test2/index.php
The client wishes to have nine dropdowns in the navigation menu at top. Only eight are ostensibly visible just now, even tho they exist in the code. While I can change the width of each menu item, how can I make "Meet the Owners" and "Events & Promos" appear on two lines. For example:
Events &
Promos
Please disregard the improper alignment of the dropdowns; I will correct those once this other issue is addressed.
Thanks, -Biggs

hello,
Looks like you have some significan code problems in your page. These need to fixed before you can address the difficulities you describe.

How to make "none" the default filter on your iPhone camera.

Some users have complained that the default filter of all pictures taken with their iPhone 5 camera has mysteriously changed to one or the other of the various filters available other than "none" (i.e., usual full-color) version they want. I can't find that string again, hence this new item.
I had the same problem, and believe I have solved it this way:
1. Take a picture.
2. Find it the usual way in Photos - Camera Roll. Presumably it's the wrong filter.
3. Click on Edit. Click on the intertwined-color-circles icon at the bottom to reveal all the filters.
4. Scroll over to None and change it to that. Save the picture.
5. Key thing (I think): REBOOT YOUR PHONE. (I happen to do it by pressing the on-off button at the top and the depressed home key at the bottom a the same time; do it however you wish.)
6. When you next shoot a photo, it should be in "None" mode (as the default).
Good luck.

OR tap the icon at the bottom right and choose none.

How to make "Terms & Conditions" button while activating your iPhone works?

When i was activating my new iPhone 3G with iTunes 10.5, i was shocked that when i press the continue button in the "Terms & Conditions" page nothing happens, and it doesn't continue to the next page.
Please help i can't use my iPhone doing anything.

I have this problem too. Have you figured it out? I'm so frustrated and I tried to call Apple but it would cost $35 to get the question answered. I am hoping someone here can help.

How to make an alert view without buttons on iphone?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an alert view without buttons. On my iphone application I have to run a process, while the process is running I want to display an alert view with info about the process, and then when the process is done I want to dismiss that alert view.
Any ideas about how to do this?
Thx!

this is what i use. I added in an ActivityIndicator just for looks
UIActivityIndicatorView *loadingInd = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(120.0, 90.0, 30.0, 30.0)];
alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Loading" message:@"Telling your Mom" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles: nil];
loadingInd.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
[loadingInd startAnimating];
[alertView addSubview:loadingInd];
[loadingInd release];
[alertView show];
[alertView release];

How to make Outlook 2013 calendar only show specific hours and hide the others that are grayed out

I’d like to show 7am to 10pm thus allowing the rest of the day to be less cramped vertically on my screen. I don't want to see all the grayed out hours which are
outside of business hours. How can I do this?

Right click on the time scale and choose the next smaller scale. It may not help much since 7 -10 is a fairly long period, although with 30 min and the ribbon minimized, i see 7a - 11p on a 24" monitor. You may need to set 7 as the start of your business
day. If you have it set later in options, outlook will start the day at the later time.
