I'd love to see a way to create Smart Playlists with a raw (SQL-like) lang.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to put a request, but if any of you developers are out there looking for ideas here's one I (and I'm sure many other power users) would love.
Give is a way to create smart playlists with nested logic or using an SQL-like query language. Currently when matching multiple properties of songs we have an all-or-nothing approach to AND's and OR's which is quite limiting if you want to do something like.
"All songs with a rating of 2+ and a genre of electronica or metal"
Currently the only way to do this is to first create a smart playlists for all songs with a genre of electronica or metal, and then create a second playlist which is songs with a rading of 2+ and in the first playlist.
While this trickery will allow you to achieve any goal you could imagine, it get's quite messy very quickly.
It'd be much easier (for someone like me) to just be given a raw interface that would allow me to do something like
[Songs matching the clause]
rating > 2
AND
genre = 'Metal'
OR
genre = 'Electronica'
AND
artist 'Iron Maiden'

Great idea.

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7?

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7? I want to be able to hear a song in my collection and immediately add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.
Thank you in advance

Hi Cornellius,
From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a
Genius Playlist
New Station form Artist
New Station from Song
IPhone Help, Browse and play
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3cf21a82
The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.
For information on Genius Playlists, see

I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

Thanks!

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

What is the easy way to create a crossword with InDesign CS5 for a interactive pdf?

I mean I want to create a pdf magazine and i like to include a crossword. I read somewhere that one way is create a crossword with an external software and include it in the ID project but I don't know any crossword software and if I add in my ID project, I only need to export like a interactive pdf? I would like that the users can use the crossword in online version.

Hi.
I'm not sure about what to you mean. But I create first the crossword with Excel, I mean to put the words in the right order and the questions and/or cue too. Then I create a table in InDesign and format some cells with black background and some borders. I upload both captures, from Excel and from InDesigne. Then with Adobe X Pro I create a form, so I can create singles inputs for the crossword.
I hope i understand your question.

What is the Easiest way to create a playlist?

What is the easiest way to create a playlist without going through all 1500 in my iTunes? I know some artists I want all their songs.......others I don't.

I have WMP on my computer and know you can quite easily make playlists within it.
Then if you connect your player to the computer and drag and drop the playlist into the sync
screen you should then be able to transfer it to the player.
Not tried this way as I always use Zen Media Explorer for making playlists.
Gi've it a try-you have nothing to lose.
Best of Luck

Is there is any way to create a validator to compare two fields (like a pa

Hi,
Is there is any way to create a validator to compare two fields (like a password and a retype password ) ?
please give me any suggestion or any example related this problem!!
thanks,
Praveen Soni

Ugh, do you have taken over the LimitValidator and the JSF example (including the f:validateDoubleRange which is unnecessary in this case) literally without actually reading/interpreting/understanding it? No, then it is indeed not going to work. Basically you just need to define a validator in the one password field and pass the client ID of the another field as attribute along the one password field. In the validator you can retrieve the value of the another field by its client ID and finally just invoke String#equals() on the values of the both fields.

[beninner] Why can see two way to create account

Hello all!!!
I just settup my first server OS X 10.6 and just fater the installation >I choosed to setup un directory.
That server will run 3 services : files and printer, directory and calendar.
Afrter the installation finished, I can see two window
1) System preferences
2) Server preferences
in both I can create new accounts
Could tell me which is the difference??
Morever, I also can see Workgroup manager from where I can create account
In fact there are three way to create and manage users.
But from which will an directory user? (I guess from "Worgroup manager")
Finnaly, I install OD X on a 640G Hard disk, but /home must be in a different Hard disk. I suppose I will settup the path of /home from "workgroup manager"?
many thank for all of you explication. this will be very helpfully

System Preference create user inside the Local Directory /Local
Server Preferences and Workgroup Manager (WGM) are the tools that can be used to create/ edit Directory Users.
Directory Users can be in form of Open Directory or other type (e.g. Active Directory (Windows Based Directory service)
WGM can also be used to create and edit Local users.
In terms of scope from smallest to largest
System Preferences < Server Preferences < WGM

Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.

Is there a way to create a field with total pages viewed?

Is there a way to create a field for a contact that stores the total # of pages he has ever viewed? We'd like to use this as a bases for lead scoring.

Please don't use big red text. There's no need to do so - it won't be more attention and in fact may put people off of helping - and it's really difficult to read.
Adding to what JG said, you can also purchase a prepaid iTunes card, available from most grocery store and discount chains in the US and other countries, and use that. You will need to enter in your address information, but you won't need a credit card.

Is there a way to create a heading with shading behind the text and thin lines above and below?

I'm working with InDesign CS6, Windows 7.
Is there a way, using paragraph rules, to create a heading with shading behind the text and thin lines above and below the text?
I'd like to create headings that look like these:
Thank you!

I have a document where I almost do such, but without the fill. I use a Head Style which Spans Columns for this instance; it allows the haeds to flow and fill the width.
Paragraph Rules above and below are turned on with plenty of offset.
I tweaked my setting to accomodate your need - It required only one instance, not above and below, and changing the stroke to a double stroke.
It may be necessary to create a custom stroke to modify the proportion of stroke vs fill. There is a difference of thin-thin and thick-thick, neither of which seemed perfect but might be dependent on the Character height.
Creating custom strokes is accomplished via the Strokes Panel.

Can't create smart playlists because iTunes can't see all my playlists

I noticed that my smart playlists aren't updating properly. When I tried to edit them, I got an error message saying "This smart playlist depends on one or more playlists that cannot be found." I am using as one of my rules "Playlist is" but the dropdown list next to that rule does not show all of my playlists. It shows some of my smart playlists, none of the "regular" playlists. That means I cannot fix the smart playlist.
For example, I have a playlist called "exercise" that is a regular playlist. It contains 965 songs that I have added manually. I can see the "Exercise" playlist just fine in iTunes, and I can add/remove songs from it. But my smart playlist, "Top Exercise Rare Recent," does not work, because it depends on the rule "Playlist Is Exercise." When I try to edit the rule "Playlist is," I cannot choose "Exercise" from the dropdown list--that playlist simply does not show up. But it is there. I can see it in iTunes. I just can't see it in the dropdown list.
I don't even know what to try to fix this.
In case it matters, a few versions ago, an iTunes update "lost" my library. I had saved backup of my library files, fortunately, so I did not lose all of my ratings and playlists (at least, I didn't think I did). After I restored my library files, iTunes did not recognize my iPod classic so I had to re-sync it (removing everything that was on it and replacing it with whatever was in iTunes, i.e., exactly the same files). Then the next update broke my ability to burn playlists to cds AND it broke my system clock. I had to revert to a restore point that preceded the iTunes update, then reinstall iTunes, then "repair" the installation to get my cd burning ability back.
I am now using iTunes 11.3.1.2 on a Windows 8.1 PC (64-bit). Wishing I had never update

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry, it's working for me so I'm not sure what to suggest. Perhaps someone else will have ideas.
Regards.

Best way to create slide show with last photo having links

What are some of the best ways to create a slide show (more like a season greeting flash) with the last photo having links and buttons for the viewer to click?
I already have the code for the slide show. What I need now is how do I reference or point to a keyframe that contains the last slide as the background with buttons and hyperlinks? Perhaps, I also need a way to not showing this slide until the last? How do I do that? This last slide with buttons and links are on it's own layer.
The other route would be to create the buttons and hyperlinks in the AS3 code instead of design time. If so, how do I do on the last slide?

What is the best way to create a Playlist?

I've tried 2 options but none of it got the job done perfectly :
#1 - I've created playlists with Media Player on my pc and got it synced the old fasion way. All I got was empty playlist with the right names.
#2 - I've copied a folder with some tracks to the sd card and with right click made "make a new playlist". That worked fine but when I changed the playlist's name - it was gone from the list. When I try to change the name via pc the window just freezes.
Now I have several playlist with name "new playlist" and a number...

If you have MediaGo installed on your PC you can also create the Playlist using this and then just import he Playlist to the phone. Simply navigate the the "Playlists" tab on MediaGo and choose "New Playlist".

Alternative way to create temporary table with better performace?

Hi guys,
Do you happen to a better alternative way for creating a global temporary table with better performance?
I am creating a table and then using it in a big query but is taking a lot of time.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am not very familiar with explains plans, but I believe it is ok.
The first query I had was repeating part of it in every subquery that is why I decided to create the temporary table. I have also tried using the WITH but it seems to take the same amount of time. I also thought of creating indexed but was told that it would work in this case.
I have another discussion named "SQL Query Having performance issues" in this discussion I have included the query just in case you want to look at it.
Thanks

Is there a way to create dynamic playlists on the fly in music on smart media?

Often I'm at a friends house and we're looking through music trying to pick the next song to play as one is finishing.
It would be really great to have an dynamic playlist where you could add and subtract songs as you go and so keep the music playing as you create away and the new list runs.
I see a couple of apps offering this but they don't have good reviews. Also crossfade for this would be a nice option too.
Any plans to give a 'life update' revamp to party goers using itunes on their smart devices?
Or doesMusic have this feature and I'm just unaware of it?

Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.
