How to set the Mac so it doesn't shutdown/sleep

Hello
I'm new to the forum and a new owner of a iMac. I have installed the EyeTv Hybrid and want to record show when I am not at home via scheduling option. I set everything up, but my Mac always goes to sleep and my shows cant record because the iMac wakes up and requires a password. I have checked my settings (my screen saver is off, as well as sleep option, and even put hard disks to sleep when possible is off.
What I'm a doing wrong? Or how can I fix this?

Are you sure it's gone to sleep. It's possible the monitor has just turned off or your screensaver has activated. If you've configured the screensaver to ask for a password that would explain that dialog, but the machine is still running and download should continue in the background unless you are on wireless which may shut down. Perhaps try using Ethernet instead.
Do you have any security measures enabled like FileVault or Firmware Password?

How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to a Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work., How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to A Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work.

Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.

How to set the IP and MAC address in C program?

My working environment is Sun250 Server, Solaris 7 operating system. I encountered a problem ---- How to set the IP and MAC address in C program to make the system change it IP & MAC at runtime?
Any idea is welcome! Thanks!

Hi
As a simplest possible solution, you can use the system command
to run ifconfig that can set both the mac address and the IP address of the system. You will have to use setuid though.
Or you can use the DLPI calls ( do a man DLPI or search for a
Sun documentation on the same at http://soldc.sun.com) to write
a pure C program.

Could somebody teach me how to set the lastest iTunes so that it repeats just one of the numbers installed from the CD? I've alreadly tried it by clicking "control" and the bottom, but it doesn't work. Thank you.

Could somebody teach me how to set the latest iTunes so that it repeats just one of the numbers installed from the CD?
I've already given it a try by clicking "control" and the bottom item which means one item in Japanese, but it doesn't work.
Thank you.

You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon or if menus are enabled you can use
Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.
Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.
The bottom one should do it.

max out the memory to reduce / eliminate paging. although you might not need to in your situation. I think printing is a light use of memory. Inkjet printers are heavy on the cpu.
electronics don't usually fail. It's the moving parts. Doesn't the mini take the 2.5 inch drives that are not as reliable as the 3.5? An external drive will get past this.
You could get an external bootable harddrive.
You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.
Has everything interface:
FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
save a little money interface:
FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

Here is an external hd enclosure.

Here is what one contributor recommended:

Folks in these Mac forums recommend LaCie, OWC or G-Tech.
Here is a list of recommended drives:

FireWire compared to USB. You will find that FireWire 400 is faster than USB 2.0 when used for a external harddrive connection.

http://www23.tomshardware.com/storageexternal.html
Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

How to set the out point beyond 9.95 seconds???

how to set the out point in Motion 5 beyond 9.95 seconds???

First you need to make sure your project is long enough then you can adjust the play range (in/out). To make sure the project is long enough:
1. From the project properties (command-J) go to the Duration field and enter a new duration.
2. Click on the down arrow icon to the right of the current time, there is an option to show the project duration. Once set to this you can double click the number and type in a new project duration. I'd recommend setting it back to show current time when done.
3. Of course you can also change the duration of a project when it is first created, in the project browser.
Once you're sure you have a long enough project you can adjust the in and out range. You then use the zoom controls in the bottom of the timeline to show more of the timeline and adjust the play range as needed. There's lots more about project and play range duration adjustments in the documentation: http://help.apple.com/motion/mac/5.1/

How to set the timezone in a DATE datetype?

How to set the timezone in a DATE datetype?

10.5 Date, Time, and Timestamp
The JDBC API follows the Java platform's approach of representing dates and times as a millisecond value relative to January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. Since most databases don't support the notion of a time zone, the JDBC 2.0 API adds new methods to allow a JDBC driver to get/set Date, Time, and Timestamp values for a particular time zone using a Calendar. For example,
ResultSet rs;
Date date1 = rs.getDate(1);
returns a Date object that wraps a millisecond value which denotes a particular date, like January 3, 1999, and a normalized time 00:00:00 in the default time zone. The time component of the Date is set to zero in the default time zone since SQL DATE values don't have a time component. Since a Calendar was not supplied explicitly to getDate() , the default time zone (really the default Calendar) is used by the JDBC driver internally to create the appropriate millisecond value assuming that the underlying database doesn't store time zone information.
The following example retrieves a date value in GMT-Greenwich Mean Time.
ResultSet rs;
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date2 = rs.getDate(1, cal);
In the example above, a Calendar is passed explicitly to getDate() to inform the JDBC driver how to calculate the appropriate millisecond value. Note that the same result could have been achieved by simply changing the default time zone, and not passing the Calendar explicitly since the JDBC driver will use the default time zone by default.
Note that the two Date objects created above will not compare as equal assuming that the default time zone is not GMT, even if they represent the `same' date.
if (date1.equals(date2))
//never get here
This is because each Java language Date object really just wraps a normalized millisecond time value and these millisecond values will differ across time zones. If an application wishes to compare dates in different time zones it should first convert them to a Calendar.
An application should create a Date object using a Calendar. The application is responsible for specifying the time as 00:00:00 on the desired date when using the Calendar since JDBC uses this convention. In addition when creating a Time value the application must specify a date of January 1, 1970 to the Calendar used to create the millisecond value for the Time as this is the convention specified by JDBC for time.

How to set the BARCODE width and length for label printing..

Hi All,
How to set the Code 39 barcode label format in the sizxe of 0.20" * 1.4". By default while printing barcode size exceeds my current requirement. Please let me know to customize the size of barcode labels.
Thanks.

I don't know what you mean by "Code 39" because my Output Designer software doesn't offer that barcode (or do you mean "code 3 of 9?). In any case, are you trying to control the size of the text (which is what I think of when you refer to "label")? If you are, then just change the font & size. If you are wanting to modify the physical characteristics of the barcode itself (height & length for a certain number of characters) then you are probably out of luck. Or at least in for some trial & error.
There are a series of "barcode.xxx" files in the 'config' folder where Output Designer was installed to. These are text files that contain the physical characteristics of the various barcodes for various printers. The parameters that you would be interested in is the height and width of the bars (black & white). For example, a barcode might be defined as .400 high with narrow bars 3 "dots" wide, wide bars 9 "dots" wide and white space the same or different. Presumably changing these values would affect the generated barcode. For example, in this example the wide bars are 3 times the width of the narrow bars so I would assume that relationship would have to remain. To make the resulting barcode shorter you would then use 2 for the narrow and 6 for the wide.
You would have to make the change in the file(s) that would be used for your printer(s).
There are four width values for each of the parameters. Most of the barcodes only use 2 but some have 4. I'm assuming that when there are 4, like in "4 8 12 16", that the barcode definition has 4 different widths of bars and/or spaces.
There is no guarantee that the scanning hardware & software will "see" and interpret the resulting barcode correctly.

just drag the target/object into that tiny square ...

How to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

how to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

No easy way. Unless you use the same username and the same password on both system then you have to enable Windows File Sharing (SMB) in Sharing, add your Mac username and type in your password in the options of Sharing and then set a NetBIOS name and a workgroup name that is the same on both Windows and Mac. That is in the Network section under advanced WINS tab.

[SOLVED] How to set the packager name for an AUR package?

Hi,
I'm maintaining an AUR package (fspcc), but I don't know how to set the name of the "packager" for that package.
E.g. when you request info about some package
$ pacman -Qi somepkg
there is a line
Packager: Unknown Packager
that specifies the packager.
How do I set this "Packager" info so that any user installing my package will see what I want?
Last edited by lisztinf (2014-04-13 13:39:43)

Thanks for the answer.
I guess that when I run
$ makepkg
in my local build directory, then "mkpkg" will build a package with the "Packager" info set accordingly to my local makepkg.conf.
However, I would like another user - with his own makepkg.conf - to see what I want when installing the package. How can I achieve this?
If I install an official package - say pacman itself - through ABS, I see the "Packager" field properly set for that official package. But certainly this info doesn't come from my local makepkg.conf. I would like the same behaviour for my package. Is it possible?

How noisy is the Mac Pro?

How noisy is the Mac Pro - say compared to an iMac?

Hello Pagemakers2,
First,I doubt you'll get a definitive answer to this kind of question because there's significant variability in the "intensity of use" among Mac Pro owners. I mean of course, some users need to run apps and process file types which naturally require more cooling of hard-running cpus and that will cause more fan noise.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit: the most "intense" task my Mac Pro handles (video encoding) uses only about 65% of processing capacity. So... I never hear the fans at all, the Mac Pro does not even put out "warm air" from the exhaust ports. I work in a quiet environment (home) where, sometimes, I have to play music on iTunes or at least turn on the tv in the next room - just to have a little background noise. Meanwhile, the fan in my eMac can be heard when I wake it from sleep - but never unpleasantly.
I'm pretty sure most users will agree: when idling (surfing the web, even running filters on big digital files with Photoshop™) the Mac Pro is pretty quiet.
Oh, another factor to consider is: Whether or not you run heavy apps with a heavy work load "continuously." I mean for example: running those video conversions may take a few minutes on the Mac Pro (Intel). But I may run one file to burn to DVD on any given day. (On average, less than once a day.)
Burning: the original Sony OPTIARC drive which came factory installed made "moderate noise" (for about 2-3 minutes of burn time) but the noise was "annoying." I replaced that with (eventually) two Samsung units: these both make audible noise, but it seems less and certainly doesn't annoy me like the Sony unit did.
Just to be clear: I didn't replace the Sony drive due to noise, I did so because that model didn't (1) handle DVD-DL and (2) I wanted DVD drives which provide the Lightscribe disk labeling software. The "more pleasant sound" was a bonus.

How to set the table input in Query template?

Hi all.
I need to call a Bapi_objcl_change, with import parameter and a table as an input. I have done this, in BLS. I have set the table input in the
form of xml. In BLS, I get the output(the value gets change in SAP R3, what i have given in BLS). But if i set the same xml structure in
query template, I didn't get the output. Table input parameter does not take that xml source. How to set the table input in Query template?
can anyone help me?
Regards,

Hema,
You probably need to XML encode the data so that it will pass properly and then xmldecode() it to set the BAPI input value.
