Ibook for live what probs

I am thinking of using my G4 iBook 1.33 to run tracks live. if i freeze tracks and run from external fw drive are there any other issues i should be aware of. I am gonna up the ram to 1gig and set power features for max. are there any super reliable external audio interfaces. I have an m-audio fw410 that i am thinking of using.
G5 dp 2gig + g4 dp 867 2x uad 1gig RME 9632, D8B, Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi. I use my MBP live for Ivory Grand piano sounds and occasional backing tracks with live piano. I suggest you set it all up and suck and see. You will quickly get an idea of what will and won't work. Set up a scenario where it is doing a fair bit more work than you anticipate it doing live, and then you will be confident of it doing what you want it to do.
Partioning a hard drive just means that the same single hard drive is trying to split it's attention to two places at once, and so will probably give worse performance. It is no real big deal to carry a small firewire drive these days. By the time you have plugged in MIDI interfaces and cable, an extra firewire cable will not make much difference. Samples stream much faster from an external drive. Audio should play back just fine from the internal hard drive.
I am using 10.4.7 and I don't seem to be having any problems so far, touch wood.

An iBook for £20 - what do you think?

I know this is not really destined to be put on this discussion forum, but the thought of a bargain got the better of me.
I registered and risked just £20 at:
http://www.cheapibook.co.uk/
Has anyone on this forum ever had any success with this website or similar offers?
I didn't really need an iBook, but thought that £20 was such a small amount, hmmmmmmmmmmm.

If it's too good to be true, it is !!
I don't see what is too good to be true. You are using your money to buy an ebook (electronic book) and then your name is put in a list. Your odds are one in 50 that you will win the ibook because they wait till 50 people have entered in order to get the mony needed to buy the ibook. In otherwords, it could be true since it is not really something for nothing anymore than buying a raffle ticket is. Your odds are pretty low though. But it can easily be a scam also. I don't see how they can be held accountable on whether they have given the ibook to anybody.

Using macbook pro + logic for live - what to consider

so i just received the macbook pro which I will use live with logic for playing back bounced audio tracks, audio instruments and live inputs + effects.
I want to avoid (if possible) an additional external drive in order to keep the setup simple.
I`m thinking of partitioning the internal drive into two parts and use one partition for the audio material.
Or is it maybe better to keep the whole drive as one partition (80GB)?
Any further suggestions? e.g. Which os do you think is more stable 4.6. or 4.7?

What is the best way to plug my iPhone 5 into a mixer for live music performances?

I'm thinking of performing live with my iPhone 5 or maybe an iPad that I haven't bought yet. What is the best way to get the sound for the device to a mixer or PA? I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with wireless options. I'm wondering if it is stable enough for live performance. There doesn't seem to be any audio interface options yet.

there is always the 3.5mm minijack out connector sure it's analogue but a cable with male minijack in 1 and and 2 rca in the other would work with most mixers and or pa's

How do I rename the PDF (both Title & Author) in new ibooks for Mavericks?

Hi!
I can't seem to amend both Title and Author for my PDFs in the new ibooks App in Mavericks.
(Opening it in Preview and renaming it does not change the Author name FYI)
The current solutions present are for 2013 and there is none for the new app in Mavericks.
My obsessiveness does not allow me to list my books in such haphard fashion.
Any kind souls able to help?
Thank you!

LOL! As you've explained it, the reason this community is called iBook for Macs is because you can easily change PDF titles on a Mac…
I know that people like to be gatekeepers--and I know that people can post in the wrong places--but that's not what happened here. I was correcting the previous comment about iBooks on the iPads! (See earlier post above.)
"iBooks.app on iPads or Maversick is a "viewing" app ie it allows you to open books etc,. on the device its used on. Its "read only" in computing terms.. you cannot change anything."
I wanted to do it by not directly pointing out the person's error, but you've forced my hand!
By the way, I ended up at this thread inadvertently while looking for how to change book titles in iBooks under iOS. So, in case anyone else ends up here looking for how to change PDF titles on their iPads, they'll know it can be done and how!
Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

How do I change the name and cover of a ebook in ibooks for mac?

I have iBooks on my macbook pro and would like to change the name and cover of some epub books I dowloaded. How do I go about doing this, if there a get info like in itunes that I just can't find?

Try Calibre for Mac, available on macupdate.com. It's clunky to have to use 3rd party software, but until Apple fixes the abomination that is iBooks, that's what we'll have to do.

IBooks for Mac Doesn't Reopen Books

iBooks isn't reopening windows after I close it. Here's what I do in sequence:
1. Open iBooks.
2. Double-click a book.
3. Click the fullscreen button in the upper-right corner.
4. Quit iBooks with CMD + Q.
5. Open iBooks.
No windows pop up, not even my Library. I have to quit and open it again to get the Library back.
Also, it doesn't sync my progress in books between iBooks for Mac and iBooks for iPad correctly. It usually puts me a chapter or two behind where I am.
When Apple released the update, I hoped it would fix it, but nobody else seems to have this problem.

I’m seeing the same thing on my MacBook Pro. My Mac mini, running the same OS X version 10.9.3 doesn’t have this issue. The issue exists across user accounts on the MBP.

Bootable floppy for live CD

There are requests booting the live CD with floppy. The codes are suppose to be similar when booting to an existing HD partition with floppy not using LILO.
An example making a normal bootable floppy without LILO:
fdformat /dev/fd0h1440 (formats the floppy disk)
dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 (writes the kernel to the floppy disk)
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda3 (root partition as /dev/hda3)
rdev -R /dev/fd0 1 (mount root file system read-only)
LIve CD replaces the HD, boot floppy needs to mount into CD instead. The problem I am facing, live CD's initrd image (a compressed file "miniroot.gz" 2.6Mb with all basic folders and startup files) doesn't fit on a normal floppy and must be uncompressed into ram memory at boot from the CD. How to do it?
Here is the print of Live CD's isolinux.cfg:
prompt 1
timeout 0
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 info.msg
F3 vga.msg
default vmlinuz initrd=miniroot.gz init=/init/sbin/init ramdisk_size=100000 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 vga=788 root=/dev/ram0

I have searched around internet for floppy bootable live CDs, and found Honung Linux (not live CD but planning to do).
It will not be a Live-CD in that that it will boot directly from the cd.
I'm planning to boot from a floppy (as Honung does now), but instead of using
the Rootdisk (Disk2) it will use a CD and it will therefor be possible for
me to get even more into the distribution.
http://honung.n3.net/
Actually the Disk2 is some kind of "live floppy". Why not make an "AL Live Floppy" instead of bootable floppy for Live CD only. Moreover, are there any i686 machines what don't have a bootable CD bios?? I think its only an i586 issue... if am correct.
The idea to have a Live Floppy is for dial-up modem users.
FMI, how many MBs is a modem 56k user be willing to download? Minimum 2x floppy image... 2.8Mb each. To run AL with light weight desktop (blackbox or fluxbox) requires to download one CD image. What would be an accepted size to download (MB???).

Thanks for looking at this post. We have resolved the issue for ourselves by working with our DBAs to narrow down where the problem actually started. We found that the particular SQL we were looking at was not the issue. In a chart on a subsequent page (via a click through), we were actually running into where apex was starting to consuming memory but we were catching it later.
What we found was that when we had a chart query that was SQL containing a pipeline function, the memory usage went up. And within 10 minutes, the server would crawl to a halt. To release the memory, the DBAs would have to bounce the Apex instance. When I changed the query to be a function returning SQL, the problem stopped. I don't know what the correlation was between SQL and moving to a PL/SQL function returning SQL.
I am not even 100% positive of the pipeline function being the cause. I only know that this started happening about the same time as when I implemented the pipeline function. I understand you are leery of a one-second function/query running up that kind of utilization. No one here believed me either (including me really). We figured it HAD to be a coincidence. But once I changed the query from SQL to a function returning PL/SQL, our problem went away.
Thanks to all who looked at and thought about this.

AS3 - 1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place; 2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true - ActionScript 3 - flash cs3 cs4

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
} else if(myStream.state == VideoState.STOPPED){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     switch (event.info.code) {
          case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
               //connectStream();
               break;
          case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
               trace("Stream not found: "/* + myStream.source*/);
               break;

I cant download ibooks for mac for free

Im trying to download ibooks for mac but i cant, it says i should have OS X 10.7.2, what i have now is 10.6.8. do i have to purchase the latest version and pay $20.99? why i cant download it for free?

yea , after reading lots of discussions about this issue , it looks like its happening with lots of people. they try to read books on their macbook pro and they cant. it looks Apple wants u to buy other devices like ipad in order to be able to read books. and they do that in purpose. cuz mainly they make money from selling hardware not from selling other products through their website.
cuz it doesnt make any sence to me that u can read books on your iphone and u cannot on your macbook pro!!! this is rediculous!
however, Im buying an Ipad anyway for my daughter and im wondering how i can download and read the book i already purchased throu my macbook, im i still able to use the same Apple account and download whatever i purchased on other devices?
Actually, Apple makes a nice profit from songs, video, book, and apps. They also have apps in the AppStore for all of their major competitors in the eBook market some of which do have apps for reading on Mac OSX machines. So, no, it's not about trying to con you into buying hardware.
Yes, if you and your daughter are using the same AppleID, you can share the iBooks on different devices.

Any tutorial for Live RTMP Dynamic Streaming using Strobe Media Playback?

Any tutorial for Live RTMP Dynamic Streaming using Strobe Media Playback anywhere available on the web ?

Thank you for the link but it does not solve my problem. In this thread they work with manifest xml files like a playlist. Which i tryed but also doesn´t work. Adobe declairs FMP with easy config and less code for non geeks. And this is exactly what i want for my project.
Does anybody can post some html sample code especially for dynamic streaming/ MBR wit Flash Media Playback??? For Live or On-Demand.
