I would need a way to visually consolidate very large clusters.

It would be nice if a Tab like function was integrated into clusters, so that all of the sub-controls could be distributed accross several pages, but I am looking for anything that will work and still allow me to maintain my data structure (i.e. one big cluster)(I have tried to use the Tab Control inside the cluster, but it does not seem to work). Obviously I can just lay one control on top of another, but I would like something more elagant than that. I have many clusters and arrays of clusters imbeded - maybe if I could just Iconize those items. (Fyi I extensively use Type Definitions, even for many of these sub-clusters.)

Scott,
There really isn't a great way to deal with very large clusters, but there are a couple of options.
-You mention that you have numerous sub clusters. Each of these sub clusters should have a visibility property. You can manipulate this through a property node, hiding and revealing sub clusters at need, and allowing the overall cluster to resize (size to fit, arrange vertically or horizontally).
-If you are using the cluster to store information between states, but don't have any user interaction for it, just define the cluster in a constant on the block diagram. This could potentially speed up your interface as well. Be careful using auto updating typedefs as constants though, removing things from the typedef can cause "insane" errors in LV6.0.2.
-You can separate your clusters on your interface, but create the "supercluster" on the back by bundling all of the subclusters together. This is clumsy, but occasionally useful. Feeding this supercluster into an indicator that is held offscreen can be handy if you happen to need a reference to manipulate.
Good luck.

Is there a way to split a very large 1 page pdf into letter size multiple page pdf?

I often have very large single page pdfs that need to be printed onto letter size paper. Usually I don't have access to the printer where I'm working so I have to send the file to someone for printing.
I have AXI pro, they don't.
I want to make sure the job is printed as I specify and most of the users are using Reader. So I want to give the someone the pdf ready to print sized in legal. This requires manipulation of the pdf that I don't seem to be able to figure out how to do.
In older versions of Acrobat, I could print to a new pdf and designate the page size. Acrobat would create the multipage pdf. The newer versions don't allow this.
With OSX 10.8 & AXI you can't save, export, split a one page (68" x 16") document into multiple page letter size (16 pages) pdf.
Perhaps this can be done by printing to eps and running through distiller again or something else, but I'm stumped at the moment.
Any suggestions of how to attach this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

That's a tough one. Acrobat is not designed for tiling PDF files to create another PDF. That's really what you're asking. There is the option to PRINT to a PDF, and turn on the Poster feature. If were in Windows where there is a real Adobe PDF printer driver, you could probably use that feature. But for various reasons (too complicated to describe here), that was withdrawn on the Macintosh.
If you have a copy of Adobe InDesign, and if you installed an Adobe PDF 9 PPD file (see description below), it could be done in a somewhat awkward way. InDesign allows you to place PDF files so you would need to make a page of the proper size and place your large PDF:
Then after installing the Adobe PDF 9 PPD file, you could choose File > Print. Then choose to print a PostScript file to the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file. In the Setup panel, you'd choose a Letter size page. Then you'd choose the Tile option at the bottom and set the Overlap amount:
Then you'd save the PostScript file and process through Distiller.
My blog post below describes how to find and install the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD file:

I am wondering what is the best way to merge a very large iphoto library (from my MBP) to my new iMac (which has a few hundred photos on it now), and then upgrade to Aperture?

I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
I have a new iMac with a few hundred photos that I've uploaded since I bought it last December.
The iMac is where I want to keep everything stored as my main photo library, and manage it with a new Aperture installation.
Before I go and do this, and possibly muck it all up,
I would like to figure out the proper steps.
I am not too familiar with how to transfer files in the first place, so any help for a beginner would be much appreciated.
Starting from how to safely move the files from the MBP to the iMac, if anyone could walk me through this process.
I've been searching around but I have a specific goal (with getting everything into Aperture) so I don't want to get crossed up.
Thanks for your help!!

I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
To be able to merge your libraries, your Aperture version and iPhoto version must match. For basic reading see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
and Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
Assuming you are running the latest Aperture and iPhoto versions:
Before merging libraries ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues. While still on your old mac run the "library first aid tools" on your iPhoto Library. Hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ and double click your iPhoto Library, then select "Repair database".
Make sure you have a backup of your current Aperture Library and iPhoto library.
Do both macs have a FireWire port? Then you could connect your macs in Target Disk Mode:
See OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
This way your new mac could see your old mac as an external disk and you could copy directly between the macs.
Otherwise copy your iPhoto library by drag-and-drop to an external disk (on your old mac) and connect that disk to your new mac. Check, if the external drive is formatted for mac (MacOS X Extended (Journaled)). Otherwise reformat it, before you copy the iPhoto library to that drive.
When your iPhoto Library has been moved to your new Mac launch Aperture and use the command "File > Import > Library" from the main menu bar. If there are duplicates in the Aperture library (if you imported earlier from iPhoto) you may be prompted if you want to "Add" or "Merge". If you have lots of duplicates, pick "Merge", otherwise "Add".
Post back, if you need more detailed instructions.
Good Luck.

I need to batch process about 300 very large jpegs to smaller jpegs--how?

I have about 300 jpegs generated from Lightroom. They are about 30 MB apiece. I need to make them much smaller, for a DVD and for quick viewing for my client. I tried using "file" from the top Photoshop menu bar, to "scripts" to "image processor," which I usually use (but usually converting from dng to jpegs). This time, no matter what sizes I entered in the ensuing window, the final jpeg size was 32KB. This is too small!
How do I do this without overwriting the original photos, and getting useful final jpeg sizes?
Thanks,
Hillary

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately, I have tried those numbers, as well as many others. The outcome, for the method I have been using, is always the same. 32K.
I have been using the Photoshop menu "file" then "scripts" then "image processor." Again, the result is constant, and unusable. Is there some other way of achieving this? What I want is usable jpegs!
Thanks, Hillary

Transcode not needed, but the exported files are very large

Hi. I imported a video file (*.m2v) and its associated audio file (*.wav) to Encore. These two files were transcoded and exported by Premiere Pro (setting of the Encoder was MPREG-2 DVD). Now, in Encore, I chose NOT to transcode, because the files are DVD compliant already, and second their total size was less than a DVD's capacity (video file 3.3GB, 6Mbps;;;; Audio file 850MB, 1.5Mbps). My question:why did the Exported Dvd have 7.5GB in size?? Though the total size of video and audio is (3.3+0.8=4.1GB). I have a main menue only that has no fancy stuff nor motion.

Thanks Ruud Blauw. You were right. I used the same assets in two time lines, which resulted in exporting the movie in two twin copies, each was put as a single title in the DVD. What bothers me is that I had no way of seeing this on the [Timeline Viewer]; in other words, I couldnt see two time lines before I export the movie.
After experimenting, I realized that the first"wrong" situation differed from the new"correct" situatioin in only the [Project Tab]: the 'wrong' situation had 4 items in the [Project Tab]: Video file, Video Timeline, Audio File, Audio Timeline. On the other hand, the 'correct' situation had a [Project Panel] which had only 3items: Video File, Video Timeline, Audio File. This means that the difference was only the existence of an Audio Timeline.
Although I am new to Encore, this makes no sense to me. But fortunately it got resolved.

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

I would need to connect an external drive to my iMac computer?

I have an iMac hard drive that was purchased 1 year ago from the Apple Summit Sierra store in Reno, Nevada. I have had a lot of issues so this drive was replaced by a new one. The old hardrive contains OS 10.5.x and has appleworks which I created a lot of documents.
The Apple Summit's Genius bar installed OS 10.6.8 onto the new hard drive and now, I am NOT able to open those files that were created with the appleworks software that resided on the old hard drive. I notice that appleworks was replaced by Pages which will not open appleworks files.
So this is what I am asking the community...
1. I would like to connect the old hardrive as an external drive so I can open these documents. What is the best way to do this? Someone mentioned that I would need a "sled" which I suspect is an external casing that has it's own power and connects via USB. I don't recognize the type of plug that I would need.
2. The old apple computers could start up from the external hardrive connected to it. Is this still possible with the newer intel computers?
I would appreciate anyone's suggestions or input. Thank you...

To use the HDD as an external drive you need and external drive enclosure. It would connect with your computer via USB or FW; my preference is to have it set up for both for flexibility .Check your computer ports to see what you need.
When you buy the enclosure check to see whether it comes w/ the cables you need.
A good source to check for the HD enclosures is: http://www.macsales.com/ If you're not sure of what you need just call them; they're very helpful. There are other sources for these but OWC is my favorite.
Your old HDD is probably bootable. Once you have the drive in the enclosure connect it to the computer.
You can get some data, etc. from the old HDD to the new drive by clicking the ext. HD icon on the desktop to open & dragging whatever you want (or Copy/Paste) to your new HDD.
Alternatively you can set the external drive as Startup Disk:
Go to System Preferences>> Startup Disk. Your new external drive should show there. Click on new drive and Restart. When the computer has rebooted the external HDD (with old HDD) will now be the Startup Disk. Until you change it again in System Preferences.
Do you have the appleworks software disks? You could install that on the new HD, and just move the files from the external HD to the new drive---or is that part of the plan?
Good luck w/ this.

* * Procedure needs a way to perform update, insert or delete to...

Hi Gurus,
I got Assignment & need your help how to write this procedure efficiently.
** The procedure needs a way to actually perform the update, insert or delete to bring the reference data up-to-date with the refresh table.**These columns are for internal use and should not be compared to the refresh tables.
Column 1
Column 4
Column 5
Column 7
Column 9
Column 12
Column 22
Column 24
1)     I would list out the columns in the cursors in place of the *. Or better define a record with %ROWTYPE.
2)     You will need to include a way to look for rows that may be in one table and not the other.
a.     Insert the rows that exist in the refresh table, but are missing from the reference table.
b.     Delete the rows that are found in the reference table, but do not appear in the refresh table.
3)     You also need to provide for handling the expiration date. Our default expiration date is ‘01-JAN-2500’, meaning if the refresh table has a futuristic expiration date or null, then our default expiration date is considered valid. Also this date needs to be added to any new rows created as a result of the refresh, if you leave the EXPIRATION_DATE column out of the insert it should default to the above date.
4)     I assume that Differences is where you plan to list the actual data values that differ. If you don’t list the whole row I would at least list the primary key, in addition to what columns are different.
5)     The procedure needs a way to actually perform the update, insert or delete to bring the reference data up-to-date with the refresh table.
Thanks in advance

Need a way to merge two mail accounts

I have a small problem that I hope someone can help me fix. I have cross posted this in the OD services forum as that is the service that I have the 'user' problem with.
Some time back I made a mistake and deleted a user using WM. This user had mail services. I had a backup of the mail folders using the mailbfr tool set. Lucky for me this backup ran just before i deleted the user.
Now this is what I did next.
I added the user again with WM withing a few mins - however I did not spell the name correctly and so I ended up with a shortname that is not correct. I added a second sort name ([email protected]) and so the mail now works in that the user can log onto imap using the previous 'second' short name and e-mail is correctly processed. As you would expect the users email mailboxs are empty as the are seen as a new users by the mailserver (due to my spelling the name wrong).
So I have two mail boxes for this user - one old with correct spelling, one new with incorrect spelling. From the outside world it all looks OK... but the user cannot access the old e-mails and over time one will get into trouble with this user haveing the wrong name.
I would like to find a way of correcting the users 'primary' shortname and combining the old and new emails together into the correct email account.
Help - how do I do this? It seems I need to fix two things - change the shortname internally in the server somehow and combine the e-mails into one account.
I could very easly delete the wrong account and create a new one with the correct spelling. But I would need to preserver the new emails that have come in since and move them into the old email account (which I assume will work Ok with the new user).
Hope all is clear. look forward to some help.

You can block port 25 at firewall/router as an easy way to prevent bounces from outside world during this process....
Delete the 2nd short name on first account. Create a new account with the correct short name, enable mail.
Use an imap client to connect to both account and copy/drag all mail from the old wrong account to the new account.
That's a nice clean way to merge mail accounts.
Now of course, the user will have a new UID... and that might cause permission headaches......
So it might be better to use an imap account to connect to the old account first, copy all mail into a local mailbox. Delete the old account. Then create a new account and set the same UID and correct short name. You could then connect to it with an imap client and drag mail back to the inbox.

In what circumstances would need to use ODI as a complement to a deployment of EDQ?

Im about to do a presentation about Oracle Enterprise Data Quality and Oracle Data Integrator.
In my understanding if I use ODI to do ETL/EL-T tasks, ODI needs EDQ jobs to perform advance Data Quality procesing. In that escenario is perfectly understandable the implementation of both ODI and EDQ solutions.
If I does not have any solution to do ETL/EL-T task, and my objetive is mainly do data cleansing, (take a set of data, cleaning it, and write the results on a database) why I would need ODI? There is a feature that I could need from it, that I do not have in EDQ for this purpose?
This doubt came to me, becouse I found a lot of references that makes me think that this two solutions are codependents.
Thanks for your reply!
regards.

Hi,
This might help. Note that ODI and EDQ are normally sold together for Data Warehousing scenarios, though arguably data profiling, at least, is important in nearly all new projects that use ETL/E-LT technology.
Some customers, especially MDM customers, do use EDQ for their ETL requirements, as these tend to be simpler than data warehousing scenarios where load plans and data aggregations are important. ODI also has more comprehensive connectivity than EDQ, for example for Mainframe systems.
We are also seeing a trend for ETL/EL-T to be done strategically in such a way that it rarely needs revisiting for new projects; for example when a new system is onboarded, the key data is replicated or ETL'd into a standard holding area which is then used for any projects which require data from many source systems. This means that EDQ very often takes data output from ETL/EL-T without necessarily being embedded in the ETL or data replication flows.
Very often both ETL and DQ are required
It’s not the size or complexity of the transformation that is different, it’s the nature of the transformations – syntax or meaning?
ODI will do all sorts of denormalisation/normalisation for populating star schemas that would be complex and slow in EDQ
EDQ will do all sorts of things that improve the business value of the data that ODI would never do
Data volumes are unlikely to be a guide as to which toolset would be used for a particular task

I want to setup multiple numbers but I need a way to identify which number was called when it comes in. I have a SkypeIn account with an online number that I'm using. I'm planning on setting up a 2nd online number so I can track calls from brochures but I need to make sure theres a way to identify that a call is coming from skypephone#2
I need to get this figured out urgently so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Dear,
your question sound powerful.
I am curious to know also. I am having the same problem right now. I can not even identify which skype number is being called so that we can know the language we use for the customers. Believe me, if the setting does not work, then is the effort getting skype number in vain and partially useless. Please can some one help? Question: How to set up 2 different skype numbers for us to know which of the numbers a customer called.
Thank you in advance!

Need a way to fake MS VM for some detectVM class

Need a way to fake Sun JVM as MSVM in order to run an application that use some detectVM.class (getVMVersion) to determine if MS VM is installed.
Has anybody done this before?

I doubt that would work.
There are differences.
It most certainly will not work if it uses MS's version of JNI. There were also other Java API differences as well.
Note to mention that you probably need a 1.1.4 version of the Sun VM before attempting this, since there have been changes in the Jave API since then as well.
However it is probably doing nothing more than using the version string. Changing that should be possible if you know how to use a hex editor and you are careful.

I would need a way to visually consolidate very large clusters.
