How to read and write to the same external HDD using Mac and PC

Hello,
I am using a mid 2014 MacBook Pro.
I read somewhere that to write to an external HDD from a Mac, you need to format it in a particular way.
But this would stop it from being used on my PC. Is there any way I can write to the same HDD from both OSes ?
Thanks !

Yes. Format the HDD to FAT or ExFAT. It seems best to do that on a PC.
Ciao.

Can Superduper and Time machine write to the same external volume.

Can Superduper and Time machine write to the same external volume.
Yes, they can write to the same partition.
I am doing this, and can report no problems so far. TM still backs up and SuperDuper is bootable.

How to read multiple files in the same folder?

Suppose I have 100 txt files in the same folder, and I want to read them one by one. (order is not important). File name is also part of the information I want.
How to do that?
Thanks

You need to use the directory to create a File (use the path name, w/o a file name). Then you need to ask for a list() (array of String containing name). To do that you'll need to implement the FilenameFilter interface, writing an accept() method that returns true if the file's name ends with ".txt".
If that's not perfectly clear, try the java.io API docs and return more specific questions.

How to always rotate objects around the same point, even using the right-click menu?

I need some of my objects to always rotate around the same point. How can I select a point which will stay that way?
Using the rotate tool resets after deselecting.
Also, I'd like to rotate objects around a certain point even when using the right click > Transform > Rotate.
Is it possible?

Right, so this is where Illustrator falls short with respect you your need, but only in the sense that the reference point can't be made to stick. You can, however, use Smart Guides to make it so the point is easy to set at exactly the same location, (especially since your object has an anchor point there), manually before each rotation.

How to read the data file and write into the same file without a temp table

Hi,
I have a requirement as below:
We are running lockbox process for several business, but for a few businesses we have requirement where in we receive a flat file in different format other than how the transmission format is defined.
This is a 10.7 to 11.10 migration. In 10.7 the users are using a custom table into which they are first loading the raw data and writing a pl/sql validation on that and loading it into a new flat file and then running the lockbox process.
But in 11.10 we want to restrict using temp table how can we achieve this.
Can we read the file first and then do validations accordingly and then write to the same file and process the lockbox.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Kalyan Vara Prasad.

Hello Gurus,
Let me tell you about my requirement clearly with an example.
Problem:
i am receiving a dat file from bank in below format
105A371273020563007 07030415509174REF3178503 001367423860020015E129045
in this detail 1 record starting from 38th character to next 15 characters is merchant reference number
REF3178503 --- REF denotes it as Sales Order
ACC denotes it as Customer No
INV denotes it as Transaction Number
based on this 15 characters......my validation comes.
If i see REF i need to pick that complete record and then fill that record with the SO details as per my system and then submit the file for lockbox processing.
In 10.7 they created a temporary table into which they are loading the data using a control file....once the data is loaded into the temporary table then they are doing a validation and updating the record exactly as required and then creating one another file and then submitting the file for lockbox processing.
Where as in 11.10 they want to bypass these temporary tables and writing it into a different file.
Can this be handled by writing a pl/sql procedure ??
My findings:
May be i am wrong.......but i think .......if we first get the data into ar_payments_interface_all table and then do the validations and then complete the lockbox process may help.
Any suggestions from Oracle GURUS is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

HT1284 Can I back up my Mac and my pc to the same external hard drive? If so, could you explain how? Thanks.

Can I back up my Mac and my pc to the same external hard drive? If so, could you explain how? Thanks. I am a new user with mountain lion.

You could partition the drive into 2 partitions. One formatted as HFS+ for Mac OS X back, and one formatted as NTFS for Windows backup.
You would have to move the drive from system to system to do your backups. If there are 2 systems, I would suggest just getting separate drives for each, unless they are both laptops, then you will be disconnecting the drives all the time anyway.
Unless Windows is running in a virtual machine on your Mac. Then a partitioned drive would be fine.

I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page, but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
In Pages (or Numbers)
- we can't sort a single column
- we can't sort by row
- we can't insert or remove a single cell
- a cell can't cross pages boundaries

I have a DAQ Assistant configured to read multiple channels at the same time. When I wire a graph indicator to the output, I see all of my signals jumbled together. How do I split them up into seperate signals?

I have a DAQ Assistant configured to read 2 channels at the same
time. When I wire a graph indicator to the output, I see the 2
signals jumbled together. How do I split them up into seperate signals?
When I wire any type of indicator it is showing just one output of a single channel.
I want 2 indicators showing 2 different signals as expected from the 2 channels configured. How to do this?
I have tried using split signal but it end up showing only 1 output from 1 signal in both the indicators.
thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you are right. I tried that but I did not get the result.
I just found the way. When we launch split signal, we should expand it (split signal icon) from above and not from below. It took me a while to figure out this.
thanks

How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want. iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

How can I, depending on the elemnts of an array, write into the same array

Hi everyone, to make this a little clearer, consider a 2*2 I8 array, many y objective is the following:
1) connect the array to the case structure, and depending on a specific case that's value of element of indeces (0,0), write over the same array in this way
1 0
2 3
for example, note that in (0,0) there's 1, so my decision is to make the array (same array) as:
0 0
2 3
any ideas?
Thanks.

... should I add the array itself inside the loop or should I add its local variable?
The array data is in the shift register or wire!
Any controls or indicators of the array just lets you interface to it via the front panel. Don't use controls or indicators as data storage via local variables, that's not the right way.
Here's a very simple demo (LV 8.0) that shows one possibility how to do this. See if it makes sense.

How come my brother and i can't connect in the same game online using my WET54GS5?

When i first got my WET54GS5 my brother and i could connect in the same online session using two ps2's that are both connected to the WET54GS5 which is linked up to my WRT54G V 5 router flawlessly. Now all of a sudden whenever we try to connect to the same game online the one that is already in that session gets disconnected. There have even been times where one got connected and was using the other persons settings (example: Jared and Justin log on to the same game at the same time, Jared can't connect, but Justin can however Justin is now playing as Jared's character.)We can connect to other games under the same setup just whenever we want to play in the same game we can't. It seldom works though but only like twice out of ten times. I'm wondering what the issue is here and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get us connected to the same game with no worries. And if your curious both playstation 2's are running star wars battlefront 2. Message Edited by JJbro1 on 06-17-2008 09:47 PM

Try to figure out or make sure QoS is enabled on both devices (referring to bridge and router) and set to AUTO mode or fair mode. Also ensure there is no manual settings on the PS2s for ip (this applies to most modern game systems as well)
Udated gaming systems are designed to attempt taking full advantage of bandwidth available, by enabling QoS, or similar named technology depending on the brand of the network device you will prevent your gaming system from hogging all the network bandwidth and stomping out the other game system. They will be forced to equally share the bandwidth and eliminate this kind of situation. I sometimes need 7 game systems online at once and I ran in to this problem a lot,, QoS enabled and never had it again.

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.
