How to replace a layer which has a mask applied without affecting the mask?

I have a layer with a photo. I have animated a mask on this layer, but now the client wants the photo replaced with another one. When I add a new photo to a new layer and copy the mask properties from the good working layer, the mask winds up in a different place than the original. I've tried doing a replace footage with the source photo trying to make it the new photo but same results, the mask always gets repositioned.
How can I replace an image on a layer that has an animated mask on it with another one without affecting the mask?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks everyone. Now that I understand more about Track Mattes it works fine. I can scale and position new layers under the animated mask. This helps tremendously

How to handle user preference which has "_" and " " in the name

Hi Experts,
I have a question how to handle value which has like "_" and "space" etc in user preference.
If setting "a_b-c d", I could not retrieve this because it's escaped in database.
So this code can't get value even though I can set it.
Is there any restriction of name? Is there any documentation how to code user prefernece which has non alphabet and number in the name?
I know it's possible to handle the data like adding escaped data. But I don't think this is the best way to retrieve the data. Because nobody confirm it's not problem in the future.
Could you tell me the best way to get these user preference?
Thanks in advance,
Masaaki Tada
Here is a sample.
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=Shift_JIS" %><%@ page language="java" import="com.plumtree.remote.portlet.*, com.plumtree.remote.prc.*, java.util.*" %>

String val = oPortletRequest.getSettingValue( SettingType.User, "a_b-c d" );String hoe = oPortletRequest.getSettingValue( SettingType.User, "abcd" );out.println( "a_b-c d: " + val );out.println( "abcd : " + hoe );
oPortletResponse.setSettingValue( SettingType.User, "a_b-c d", "aiueo" );oPortletResponse.setSettingValue( SettingType.User, "abcd", "bbbb" );%>

Plumtree recommends that user preference names have only alphanumeric characters in them (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). Any non-alphanumeric characters will be encoded by the EDK.
I strongly suggest that you change your user pref name to something that's alphanumeric. However, if that is not possible, you can use the following workaround: in the web service editor, enter the encoded name for the user pref. There are several ways to get the encoded name.
One way is to encode the pref manually, yourself. Plumtree uses the %u encoded format: each non alphanumeric character is converted into %uxxxx, where xxxx is the Unicode representation of the character. For all ASCII characters, just look at the ASCII hex chart. For example, character "-" has a hex value of 2d. So, a preference name "jane_pref" would be encoded to "jane%u002dpref", and you'd enter the latter value on the preferences page in the web service editor.
The other way to find out the encoded value is to set a preference programmatically and use the HTTP tunnel tool to look at HTTP traffic between the portal server and remote server. The remote server will be sending a HTTP header to the portal server (the header name will probably be CSP-User-Pref) and inside the header you should see the pref name, encoded with %u. Just copy it out of there and into the web service editor.
Hope this helps,
Jane

How to read a file which has header and without header

Hi,
I have a file to file scenario wherein there are txt files in the source system, some of which has header and some without header.
How does the sender adapter dynamically identify a file with header and without header.
I knew that File content Conversion in the sender adapter with "Recordsets per message = 1" can read the header. But how to handle dynamically.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and advice.
Regards.
Praveen

Hi,
Let me give a more clear picture:-
One of my file which has header and the corresponding values is listed hereunder:
PERNR;KID;PNALT;NACHN;NAME2;VORNA;TITEL;TITL2 and so on.....
;1200;1200;Angus;; and so on.........
Other file which has no header but only values in it:-
1200;1200;;Werner;Angus and so on.......
The structure remains same for all the files. The only difference is that some of the file has header in it and some without header. The Message Type is mentioned hereunder:-
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
     Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
          Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
               PERNR
               KID
               PNALT
               NACHN
               NAME2 and so on......
I read the file in record row. The file conversion parameters in the file sender adapter are mentioned hereunder:-
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA,TITEL,TITL2 and so on........
How do we dynamically identify whether the file has header or not. Even if the file has header or without header, the file needs to be picked and transferred to the target system. Kindly clarify.
Regards.

Can GarageBand 6.0.5 be installed on a computer which has GarageBand 5.1 without having to trash 5.1 and all associated folders. Meaning, will 6.0.5 write over 5.1 and replace it

if you do nothing but install it, yes.
what you can do is control click on the application and chose the "Duplicate" option. this will create a renamed copy of GBv5, and when GBv6 replaces the original GBv5, you'll still have the renamed copy available in your Applications Folder to launch (i currently have back to version 4 available on this machine... back to 3 on another).
for v6 and lower, the instruments will stay the same (GBv10 is vastly different and does replace instruments)
SOP: if you don't have a full backup of your system, you'll lose everything at some point. as long as you do, you can at least recover from any failure such as installing new software

How to upload a file which has more than 999 line item through BDC ?

Hello Techards
Hi to all
Can any body tell me how to upload a file which has more than 999 line item through BDC for traction F-02 ?
Thanks in advance.
Shovan

Hello Shovan,
You split it up to post two accounting documents with the help of a "suspense" a/c.
Say, you have to post the following line items below:
line 1 - dr. - GL a/c X - $1000
line 2 - cr. - GL a/c Y - $1
line 3 - cr. - GL a/c Y - $1
line 1001 - cr. - GL a/c Y - $1
You cannot post the above as a single doc in SAP (because of technical reasons), so you need to break it up into 2 documents as below:
Doc1
line 1 - dr - GL a/c X - $1000
line 2 - cr - GL a/c Y - $1
line 3 - cr - GL a/c Y - $1
line 998 - cr - GL a/c Y - $1
line 999 - cr - SUSPENSE a/c - $3
Doc2
line 1 - dr - SUSPENSE a/c - $3
line 2 - cr - GL a/c Y - $3
Note that there is no incorrect impact on accounting as first we credit suspense a/c by $3 and next we debit the same suspense a/c by $3 as a result the effect is nil. Similarly, we credit $997 to GL a/c Y (which is less by $3) in the first doc which is compensated by the second doc by crediting the shortfall of $3.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sougata.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because OS X Lion is a paid upgrade. The most recent OS X version is Mountain Lion, so I recommend you to upgrade to this version.
First, make sure that your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is supported, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While Mountain Lion is downloading, you can make a backup of your files, so you won't lose them if the upgrade fails.
When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow the steps to upgrade OS X. It will upgrade OS X to 10.8.2, so you will be able to install iBooks Author and a lot of apps from the App Store. Check if your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

Hello, i am interested in buying a 2010 Closeout imac 21.5 One model Is Z0JM5LL/a which has a intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor i figured the i5 would be better but specs say the i5 only has one processor

Hi i am interesed in buying out a closeout model of a Imac 21.5 imac The 2 models are Z0JM5LL/A which has a Intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor I figured the i5 would be better has better specs but it says the i3 has a dual core Meaning 2 processors and the i5 only has a single Processor meaning i would think then teh i3 is better or is it false specs about the i5 do they both have dual Core Or which one is better Remember these are 2010 Models Not the New Quadcore Which Processor i am looking at is better????

Both the I3 and I5 are dual core processors. The I3 should be the 3.2Ghz model, which has an upgraded video circuit over the base model, which is good. The 21.5" I5 would have the same video circuit. It also has turbo boost, that the I3 doesn't have, which can boost it's speed from 3.6Ghz to 3.86Ghz when needed.
If you need to compare the 2010 and 2011 models (or even 2010 only comparisons), here's some benchmarking: http://www.barefeats.com/imac11b.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159631/2011/05/201127inimac31ghz.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159765/2011/05/imac2011.html

Editing a layer's out point in time without affecting in point??

I'm really embarrassed about this... I certainly USED to know how to do it... and I've searched for the answer, and I thought it was going to be easy to find, and it wasn't...
Anyway. I need to edit a layer's OUT point without affecting the location of the IN point in the composition. [ is working fine for the in point. Then, pressing ]... The entire layer slides to the left so that the out point is there, all right, but the in point has now moved the other way so that it's gone back in time. I want the out point to TRIM the (text) layer and make it shorter, not slide it around so that it's the same length and all it's done is to move.
The text layers will overlap each other, but the thing is that they're of varying lengths
(It's AE 5.1, btw...)
I just KNOW there's an easy way to do this. And everyone here is so smart!

alt/option + [ for in point
Just position the CTI and press the keys.

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
Thanks!!
PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
On the next tab where you set IP address.
Click the renew IP address.
It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.
