I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

How do I migrate files created in a Windows OS to a new external drive that is formatted as a MAC drive. I want to read and write these files back to the new drive.

If all you're trying to do is move the files from the Windows external to the Mac external, you can simply connect them both to the Mac and drag the files from the Windows drive to the Mac drive. If you want to move the files back and forth between them, you'll need to establish the format of the Windows external. Macs can read and write to FAT32 and exFAT (which can handle files larger than 4GB) formatted drives but can only read NTFS formatted drives without additional software. With the Windows drive connected, you can check its format with Disk Utility.

Using Bridgeview with the IAK/IAS Server, I was able to read and write several registers using a string tag. In DSC using the Lookout Protocal Driver, I do not see a way to read/write string tags.

In the tag configuration I can select for a string tag, but I do not see a way to set up the Lookout Protocal Driver for a string tag.

That's right - The old IAK/IAS Servers from National Instruments were a tighten developement with BridgeVIEW together - so that they implement the string data type. Since NI recommends to use the LPD drivers instead of the IAK Servers there is no way to configure string tags in the Lookout protocol drivers. The LPDs or Lookout does not really handle arrays/strings at all - that's a limitation for the Lookout protocol drivers.

Sharing itunes library amonst 1 users on a single mac

I'm having problems sharing my itunes library amonst several users on a single mac. I've tried copying both the entire iTunes folder and just the iTunes Music folder to ~/users/shared with no luck. Help!

Here's a better statement of the problem -- i have two users on one mac, both have itunes tied to same library on an external drive.
I understand that is what you want to do as you've done it before. However, if it doesn't work anymore, there's not much you can do. It may not be something that can't be overcome, but I don't know what to do besides creating a new Library and rebuilding it with all your music on the external. There also may be alternatives other than what I can think of.
The external drive should be workable like the Shared folder, as long as the permissions on the folder are such that each user can read and write.
Did you tell iTunes to use that location as the Library? You can pick a new Library by holding down the option key when starting iTunes and it will ask where to find the Library.
I don't have a way to experiment with this on my system, but I seem to think a lot of people run their iTunes library that way, so I'm suprised that there aren't more posts about it. It may be something unique to your library, but I'm not sure what it might be.
Apple please fix this.
Since that is an unsupported configuration, I wouldn't put too much hope in seeing a fix.

What is the difference between wiring a datasocket reference or a datasocket URL into Datasocket Read and Write VIs?

Which is better? To wire a URL or a reference into Datasocket read/write?
Does wiring in the reference save processor effort/time? Do I have to close the DS reference before I can do other things to either the same DS connection or other connections? The examples I have looked at tend to use URL's, why is this?
(I am running Labview 7.0 on Windows 2000)

I'd like to bring this thread back up because I'm having the same issue as Michael here.....
I'm stumped on a the functionality of the Read/Write mode for the Datasockets Open VI.
I've attached a picture below showing the 2 different methods of
opening Datasocket references....In one case, I use the Read/Write mode
for DS open, in the other case, I use 2 DS opens: One for READ and
another for WRITE. For some reason, only the latter program works
properly (when I open READ and WRITE separately). Why is this?
I
thought that if the READ/WRITE MODE was used, the output reference can
be used with the Datasocket READ and Datasocket WRITE Vi's as shown in
Top Vi of picture. Instead, It seems I'm unable to "change" the state
of the Datasocket tag using the the Top Vi.
FYI: I'm using
DS server manager to create the item. I've also gave proper privileges
to each computer so that they can communicate with the DS server. It
obviously works since using the bottom VI, I get the desired results.
What am i doing wrong? Are my expectations for the Rea/dWrite functionality correct?

(MHDDK) How to realize the synchronization of read and write for long time by cart PCI6025E

I've finished the programming of the process read and write for the PCI6025E, I can read and write the data now, I wanna synchronize both of the processes, writing the data into the card just after the reading from the card, and check the wave in the oscilloscope. when I use the SEC , it works, but when I changed to MSEC, the wave only come out for a few seconds, even if I bloc 60sec, and also the wave is not steady. why?
so now the problem is how could I write the data immediately which just read and it's for a long time I asked?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jack,
aiex4.cpp doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. I believe that while the examples were being named, the developer mis-numbered them and just skipped 4 :-S
At any rate, if you already have AI and AO working separately, and you have the I/O performance you application requires, then you may not need to add DMA to your driver. However, if you want to add DMA, it won't be very difficult. In essence, you would need mix code from the S and M Series examples. The S Series example aiex2.cpp shows two things: the few lines of code you need to add DMA objects (lines 70-78), and how to program the STC to use DMA (line 114). And aiex3.cpp from the M Series examples gives a clearer picture of how to control and read the DMA channel.
Thanks, Rolf, for your time and help :-) I'm grateful for your contributions, and I'm glad to see active developers in the DDK forum.

Pbs to read and write messages on the same port

Hello,
I am novice so I do some tests to send messages with the example : CAN trasmit periodic, and to receive messages with the Channel Monitor, so I want to use this two VIs in my program but there is an error because I can't use the two examples at the same time...
How can I proceed to use this two example in my program? There is an other solution to read and write in the same time (I use a database .dbc)?
Bye

I'm sorry for my mistake but CAN transmit periodic exist in two version, one for FPGA and other for PC card. I didn't see the second one.
You can monitor your CAN bus with NI-CAN BusMonitor: How Can I Monitor the NI-CAN Bus?

Urgent: Please help. how to solve the time delay during buffer read and write using vc++

I need to continuously acquire data from daqmx card, write into a file and at the same time corelate (in terms of time) the data with signals from other instruments. The current problem is that there is time delay during read and write data into buffer,thus causing misalignment of the data from multiple instruments. Is there a way to solve the delay? or Is there a way to mark the time of the data acquisition in the buffer? If I know the starting time (e.g. 0) of data acquisition and sampling rate (e.g. 1kHz), can I simply add 1ms to each data sample in the buffer? The current code is shown below.
void DataCollectionWin::ConnectDAQ()
DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateTask ("", &taskHandle));
    DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0,Dev1/ai1,Dev1/ai2,Dev1/ai3,Dev1/ai4,Dev1/ai5,Dev1/ai16,Dev1/ai17,Dev1/ai18,Dev1/ai19,Dev1/ai20,Dev1/ai21,Dev1/ai6,Dev1/ai7,Dev1/ai22","",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
  DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle,"",1000.0,DAQmx_Val_Rising,DAQmx_Val_ContSamps,60000));
  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent(taskHandle,DAQmx_Val_Acquired_Into_Buffer,50,0,EveryNCallback,NULL));// Every 50 samples the EveryNSamplesEvent will be trigured, to reduce time delay.
  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxRegisterDoneEvent(taskHandle,0,DoneCallback,NULL));
  DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle));
int32 CVICALLBACK EveryNCallback(TaskHandle taskHandle, int32 everyNsamplesEventType, uInt32 nSamples, void *callbackData)
DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,50,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByScanNumber,data,50*15,&read,NULL));
   //memcpy(l_data,data,6000);
SetEvent(hEvent);
l_usstatus_e[0]=g_usstatus[0];// signals from other instruments that need to be corelated with the data from daq cards.
l_optstatus_e[0]=g_optstatus[0];
if( read>0 ) // write data into file
   //indicator=1;
for (i=0;i<read;i++)
{  //fprintf(datafile,"%d\t",i);
  fprintf(datafile,"%c\t",l_usstatus_s[0]);
  fprintf(datafile,"%c\t",l_usstatus_e[0]);
        fprintf(datafile,"%c\t",l_optstatus_s[0]);
  fprintf(datafile,"%c\t",l_optstatus_e[0]);
          fprintf(datafile,"%.2f\t",data[15*i]);
//   sprintf( pszTemp, "%f", data[6*i]);
// pListCtrl->SetItemText(0, 2, pszTemp);
    //pWnd->m_trackinglist.SetItemText(0, 2, pszTemp);
     fprintf(datafile,"%.2f\t",data[15*i+1]);
     fprintf(datafile,"%.2f\t",data[15*i+2]);

Hello kgy,
It is a bit of a judgment call. You should just choose the board that you think has the most to do with your issue. For example, this issue was much more focused on setting up your data acquisition task than the Measurement Studio environment/tools, so the MultifunctionDAQ board would have been the best place for it. As for moving your post to another board, I do not believe that is possible.

I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different

There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think). And I can import the files via Icloude.
This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
Dan Sweden

Dan,
your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID. I don't think this will be feasable.
The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.

Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file? I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them. I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function? I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them. This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them. When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.

How are you uploading?

The downloaded file is probably stored at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. In general it is probably best to "download and install" updates than download and then install later. Note that you cannot revert to the older firmware if you don't like the update, even if you have the old .ipsw files.

Could be a defective battery, you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.
