I'm not sure I'm in the right category here...

...but my iMac has a strange audio clip that plays randomly. It is totally spontaneous and unpredictable. As i do an action the audio file plays and if I try to repeat it, I can't. Is there a way to locate this file somewhere on the drive and delete it? Thanks out there.

...i've een unsuccessful in repeating the action that triggers the audio clip...it is completely random(in so far as perception goes,if a mathematical equation was put to it we may get more consistency in predicting the action) I never know when it will play...and it lasts so briefly that I've not time to catch it and have not been able to pinpoint it with CONSOLE messages. Thanks for responding.

Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files

Hi,
Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
so my question is two part...
1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
does this make sense, can anyone help me?
thanks
austin

Hi there,
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it.

Any ideas?

A reboot should be enough to make it work.
Just restart your computer.
Otherwise, make sure you're an administrator - as if you're not, it could be that the administrator put a restiction.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite. <br />

I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

Changing date information (not sure if this is the right version)

Hi guys,
I'm not sure which version of iPhoto I'm using. It came by default with my MacBook Pro a year and a half ago, so perhaps someone whose switched on to those things will know which version that is.
The problem is that I recently added a group of pictures to iPhoto that have the wrong date on them. Apparently the camera was set to January 2007. This now means that these photos are in the wrong order in the library. How do I re organise the files so that they appear in the right order (i.e. at the bottom)? I've already tried highlighting all of the pictures, cliking 'batch change', and changing the date, but that only changes that date that they were added, which doesn't seem to change the order. Is there some sort of re organise button I need or something similar? Is there a way to change the date that the pictures were created? This is really only a small thing, but it is annoying all the same. All help is greatly appreciated.

iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto
will tell you which version you have. It's important because the solutions vary according to the version.

AME - not sure if this is the right way to proceed

I'm not sure where to post this or if AME is even the right place to start. However, if you point me in the right direction, I'll take your advice and move right along.
I am one step shy of a novice. Please understand and respond accordingly.
I have been given a task to complete a video for a conference. I am receiving video footage from all over the place and in all kinds of formats. I am using Adobe Premier Master Suite CS4 Windows 7 64 bit. My pc is more than suitable - exceeding all Adobe standards and built by an Adobe recommended vendor. I have no problems with the pc when working with DV tape. I use it all the time creating all types of projects.
The project is SD 720 x 486. The output will be to DVD. NTSC, not PAL.
I have recieved so far....
.mod 1280 x 720
.mod 720 x 480
.mpg 640 x 480
.avi 720 x 576
.avi 1920 x 1080
.avi 720 x 480
I've even received Hi-8 tape!
Most everything else is DV tape and I'm having absolutely no problem capturing, editing, etc etc Everything here works just fine. Audio - great. Video - great. Yes I'm importing the files via firewire. Wish everything else were so simple!
So, is there a reference that I can use to find out how to "convert?" all these things to a standard SD 720 x 486 .avi file that Adobe will love and cherish?
Thanks for reading all of this. Hope someone can help me.

Thanks
I didn't think so but I didn't want to mess up the Touch.

I'm not sure if im in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?

I'm not sure if i am in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?@

I doubt that the W-4 has a submit button. If you are using Reader XI (actually the topic of the Reader forum, not this one), you should be able to save it and then print and deliver. If it is set to be submitted by the browser, then it may be your Reader and the browser are not talking properly. If there is a generic URL that you can provide that has the W-4, we might be able to give you more info. A lot depends on what your particular form looks like. Hand carrying it should always be an option.

New Imac - not sure if this is the right thread, sorry!

Hi there, my mother has just purchased a new Imac, (not sure which one sorry) and it is missing IMovie, although it seems to have all of the other i life applications...I have searched applications and hard drive, but it does not seem to be there - any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

It should be installed. If it got deleted accidentally, find Disc 1 of the discs that came with the Mac.
On the disc, there should be a link for +Install Bundled Software Only+. Double-click that icon to launch Installer. Go through the initial screens, and click the Customize button when it comes up. De-select (uncheck) everything except for iMovie HD.
Then click the Install button.

Please help - What software would be useful? (not sure im in the right category here)

Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding the following. I am studying abrasive particles and have many SEM still images of particles ranging from 10-120 microns. I am looking for some software that will allow me to easily calculate various properties relating to the particle, such as size, geometry, area ect - or anything really that might be of use to allow me to compare one particle with another.
1) Is there certain features which may be useful to know when it comes to comparing abrasive particles?
2) Is there simple software available that would be suitable (i was recommended a program called SIGMAscan but this seems perhaps too much of an investment at around $900 for what i need it for).
Thanks guys, appreciate any feedback
Chris.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, you are not on the correct board. Measure is an add-on for Excel.
NI sells a Vision Development Module and Vision Builder but both are considerably more than $900. Questions about either should be posted to the Machine Vision board.

...but I need some help with Star Office. (If there is a Star Office support newsgroup somewhere please let me know and I will post there). But in the mean time I have a question:
The company that I work for has decided to support Star Office (yay!). And it is my task to redevelop the relevant parts of their existing codebase. Currently we have a DLL (developed in VB) that is run via an Excel macro (the macro is really just a collection of stubs that allows access the the DLL).
I have developed a Java application (which does the same sort of things as the existing engine), and I have compiled it into a JAR file.
I now want to be able to access classes in that JAR file via StarBasic. Is this possible? Am I on the right track? I have been reading about UNO. Do I have to wrap my classes up in UNO interfaces? And if so, are there any good examples/tutorials?
As you can see I am a little lost at the moment. So any help that anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreaciated. :)
Thanks! :)
Ben

http://www.openoffice.org/ is the open source
developer that twins Star Office; they hava a number
of mailing lists that are active.Yep, I've had a look there. I even downloaded Open Office to see if the examples would give me any insight.. though no luck :(
I'll just keep searching aorund I guess...
But this seems like something that should be fairly easy to accomplish. Perhaps I am missing something simple?

Not Sure if this is the right forum but took a chance

I need to know the following information about the 3D tools used in photoshop.
How can it be used? What are the tools used for?
I need an example of how it can be used.
Where can the tool be found specifically,
I am taking a class and this is one tool I haven't a clue what it is or where it is. Please email me at [email protected]
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I am assuming you have Photoshop CS3, CS4, or CS5. If so, the 3D tools are only available in the Extended version of Photoshop.
Here is a link for the Photoshop forums. Select the forum that supports your OS. If you ask on the Photoshop forum, be sure to say which version of Photoshop extended you have as the 3D tools have been updated each year.

I personally would not be a best one to give you the workflow as I have 3D applications that are designed to do this type of thing. I can ,however, pass along a tip that I figured out while working on a contest using a trial of CS5 Extended. (Make a folder and put the 3D object and the texture files in it together. If you don't put the texture files in with the 3D model, the texture doesn't come into Photoshop applied.)
Adobe help document and how to access 3D tools...
If you have CS5, look for a header that says 3D in your menu bar. There you will find the 3D options. 3D tool icons also appear in the tool box.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSba26e7b0742782c7399326471256fcde1d6-8000. html
If you have CS3 or CS4, there isn't a menu item. You have to open a 3D object file. 3D tools only appear if a 3D object layer is selected in the layer's palette.

Videos from websites wont show up....not sure if this is the right forum.

Videos wont show up from any websites.
The place where a video would be just isnt there.
Music from myspace will not play as well.
Any suggestions?

I experienced the same thing with my Safari after the 10.4.11 upgrade. However, the following procedure worked for me:
Go to - System Preferences > QuickTime
then click on the 'Streaming' tab. Make sure the Enable Instant-On is checked. Set it to Play immediately. Re-start Safari. Videos should now work.
Somehow after the upgrade, the streaming setting on my safari was set to a long delay. Thats probably why the video wasn't showing.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

I want a report that displays products and categories, grouped by categoriy ID. Each category of each group has a number of products.

I also want the same thing for February, March....etc all in the same report on different columns.
Something like this:
Category Product Sales for Jan Sales for Feb Sales for Mar..etcCategory1 Product11 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product12 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product13 xxxxx xxxxx xxxxCategory2 Product21 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product22 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product23 xxxxx xxxxx xxxxCategory3 Product31 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product32 xxxxx xxxxx xxxx Product33 xxxxx xxxxx xxxxPls note that I have my data pretty much in the same table.

If the crosstab doesn't work out for you, just do your grouping, (say, Group by products, categories (by id) then date, and use multiple columns
go to details section, section expert, select format with multiple columns,
you should see a layout tab pop up, selecting the tab will let you chose column width,
gap between details and data direction ( IE... left to right, or top to bottom)
there is also a format group with multiple columns box to check if needed.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help working with wtmpx

I am trying to write a program that collects data from the /var/adm/wtmpx file and I would like to use the structures and functions provided by the utmpx.h file in /usr/include. I can read the utmpx file with no problem, however I would like to read the wtmpx file. I think the way to do it is to use the function utmpxname(). However, this appears to be the one function that doesn't seem to work. The compiler complains that there is no function utmpxname(). I am mainly a C++ programmer so this code is a little confusing to me. Where can I find the actual implementation of the utmpxname()? PLEASE HELP!!

This is a Solaris question. You should post it to that discussion.
Items in section 3 of the manual are not part of the compiler. They
would be in libc or some other system lib distributed with
the OS and not maintained under the compiler collection.

Not sure if this is the right product for my needs! Can someone help me out

Im a graphic designer who lives an hour away from my permanent employer. To help cut down on travel expenses and to get through the horrible winters we have I want to be able to access my work computer from home. Specifically be able to access files on my work computer as well as print the files that are on my home and work computers to the printers at my work.
I tried gotomypc.com and you cant print remotely. I am on a free trial of logmein.com and I find it not user friendly at all. Im able to print remotely just fine but I dont like how open and unguarded my computer is without a black out screen or curtain mode.
Is Apple Remote Desktop a good fit for my needs or is there some other software out there?

ARD will not allow you print from your home system to your printers at work either. You could transfer the documents from your home system to your work system and then print, but you don't need ARD for that. File sharing, for transferring the documents, and the Screen Sharing built into Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 to take control of the work computer, would be all you need and wouldn't cost you anything additional.
If, however, you need the ability to "curtain" the screen at work, then you would need ARD. Another, somewhat less expensive, option would be Timbuktu.
Regards.

I'm not sure I'm in the right category here...
