How to open a message popup and keep the sequence running ?

I have some steps in my sequence to initialize communication ports that takes a few seconds. As i have the trace off i want to display a message popup to tell the user that the sequence is doing the init. After the init steps are done i want to close the popup out of the sequence without pressing any button.
Is there a possibility in TestStand to do this ?
The normal Message popup stays until a key is pressed and even pauses the sequence while active.
Thank for help.

You could call your message popup in a subsequence as new execution and terminate this execution programmatically after your init steps have finished.
In order to do this you have to specify (module) the sequence call step that calls your subsequence:
-Multithreading and Remote Execution = Run in a New Execution
-Settings: Initally Hidden and Tracing disable, Restartable, Close Window when done, Wait for Execution to complete: Do not wait, Process Model Option: Do not use a Process Model
-Store an Object Reference to the New Execution in: e.g. Locals.ExecutionRef
After your Init steps you insert a ActvieX/COM Action Step that terminates the new execution:
-Object Reference: Locals.ExecutionRef
-Automation Server: NI TestStand API 3.1
-Object Class: Execution
-Call Method or Access Property: Call Method
-Method: Terminate
This will terminate your new execution showing the message popup.

How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive. How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

How do I move an event and keep the favorite clip selections?

Hi all,
I have to move several events from one external hard drive to another. On many of these events I've already started selecting favorite clips. When I moved my first event it erased my favorite selections. Not good. That took a lot of time and work. How do I move events and save the favorite clip selections within each event?
Thanks,

It would be a good idea to learn iPhoto - the iPhoto '09 tutorials will help - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. and there are iPhoto '11 tutorials under the help menu
A small investment of time now will save a lot of time and lost photos later

How to open .pdf in Illustrator, and not the pdf compatible half of file.

We first get a digital proof form printers as .pdf. Sometiems they save them with PDF compatible on. This makes my job harder because will get ilustrator asking for all the links when opening the .pdf.
What we do is open the .pdf form the printere, adn paste this on topof our orignal .ai file. Thi sis to proof what theyt changed. Adding in theri product numbers, adn updating the UPCS is about all we want to see. What we look for is shifting type, or missing elelements.

How can I export a video and keep the date?

When I export the video and import it again, it changes the date to the date of today. It doesn't happen with the photos, only with videos.
I changed the dates of a lot of videos and then re-imported them again, I realised I lost all my work of editing.
Thanks,

You can only modify the File Created date with a 3rd party application after you export it to the Desktop. Video files do not have EXIF field that image files do so can't be modified by iPhoto or Photos. What I do is rename the file with the date created and a brief description like: 2005-01-08-LaHanbraSpain.mov
You can do that with one of the Automator/Applescripits that léonie has posted in the User Tips section:Photos for Mac
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Descriptions
Then export the original out with the option File Name = Title

Re: Instructions for opening a Satellite Z930 and upgrading the SSD

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a service manual that would show me, or if anyone knows from experience, how to open a Satellite Z930 and upgrade the SSD. I know this will void my warranty but I don't care; Toshiba MobileCare won't have anything to do with it and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for something I could do myself if I just knew how to remove the back cover!
I've removed all the bottom screws but the cover still won't come off...it seems to be stuck at the back-left corner. I'm guessing there's another screw under the keyboard or something...any help would be very much appreciated! :)

> {quote:title=Macius wrote:}{quote}
> Have you removed all 14 screws at the bottom cover?
Ah-hah! Now we're finally getting somewhere! All I can see is 13 screws...so where the heck is the 14th?! Please see [this photo|http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64884336/screws.jpg] to see what I mean :-)
> {quote:title=Macius wrote:}{quote}
> Be gently with the cover. Small mistake and some plastic holder can be broken.
That's why I'm asking you guys for a service manual or instructions LOL...I've modded many laptops before without really knowing anything about them, but just following instructions from those that do. It's not really rocket science; you just need to know where the screws are and in which order to take things apart!
However, when I removed the 13 screws that I could see on the bottom of my Z930, the cover came off easily in all areas except the back-left corner, so that's why I came on here as I know how delicate these things are and don't want to wreck it, especially since I'll have a voided warranty afterwards LOL! :P

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop all the files that I had open are there already in the same position as when I closed Photoshop?
I've been a Fireworks user for over 10 years and just switched to Photoshop. I cannot find a setting that will enable all my file windows to reopen when I quit Photoshop. This is really a problem since I often work on several files at the same time.
Please let me know if the feature exists or point me to where I can post a message for a new feature to be implemented. The feature is a must for any designer working on large projects.
Thanks!

There is no such functionality. You could perhaps create a script that stores that info in a custom text file and arranges them accordingly in the workspace, but that's as good as it gets...

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

We have a new computer and I cannot get my garmin running watch to sync with mozilla. The error message that I keep getting is"The address wasn't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (connectagent) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address."
Help please

This is for a special URL that starts with
connectagent://
instead of with
http://
is that right?
Two thoughts:
(1) Could you try changing a setting for your Garmin plugin. Here's what I mean:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Find your Garmin plugin change "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".
Your system information seems to list two different versions of a similarly named plugin. I'm not sure whether that is causing a problem.
(2) Does Garmin's documentation specify any extra steps to set up Firefox, other than installing its add-ons?

There is a message appear and said "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"
can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ?
iPhone 4, iOS 7
iPhone 4S, iOS 7, (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"

Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

i just purchased monthly plan for creative cloud. I understood the plan included photoshop. But no idea how to open photoshop app. just keep looping into screens which instruct me to purchase creative cloud. hugely frustrating.   on hold forever with customer service.

First check to see your plan is active: Adobe ID
Try launching Photoshop choosing Trial instead of a purchase.
Mac             /Applications/Photoshop CC/Photoshop CC.app
Windows C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Photoshop CC.exe
Then once inside, go to Help > Sign in... There, use the email address and password for your account and it should activate.
If that does not work, could you tell me what version of PS you have and what os version you are using?

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.
