In Labview, is there an easy way to implement a string input from the operator with a dialog box?

I have a production test system that I want the operator to enter the serial number through a dialog box. As I've currently done it, there's a string control on the front panel to enter the serial number, but the program will run without it. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

make a special vi with only the string as a control and a second string as an indicator connected to it. This string might be hidden after you connect this indicator to the connector. In the vi-properties select dialog and off you go.

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?

When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Is there an easy way of creating a distribution list from an email with multiple addresses? Those addresses are not in your contacts already, and don't need to be.

I want to be able to take all the email addresses someone else has used to distribute an email and create the same distribution list for myself for future use. I don't want to add all those people to anywhere in my contacts list. I just want them to be in my "new distribution list", like "soccer families", etc. I tried to copy and paste, but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I was close, or maybe it isn't possible. Thoughts?

You don't. When the season is over, delete them.
But, the text clipping should work.
The next IOS should have a feature "create mailing list from distribution list". A fast and simple way to retain a distribution list from an email you received. People get copied all the time using distribution lists they may want to reuse easily, like school, sports or work groups. Oh well.
How is that any different from adding them to Contacts? Here's the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There is a set of Mail Scripts that has a function to Add Addresses from an email to any group. But, it doesn't work with Mountain Lion.

HT201328 Is there an easy way to release my IPhone 3 from the "recovery" mode.

Looking for an easy way to unlock this phone. I have had apple products for about 5 years and have never had this issue.

Please define "unlock". If it's in recovery mode, it needs to be restored.
If it is carrier locked and you are trying to get it unlocked so you can use it with a different carrier, ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize that.

Is there an easy way to move contacts and calander from my office microsoft outlook to personal imac?

is there an easy way to move contacts and calander from my office microsoft outlook to my personal imac?

You can import the clips in the order you want them to play, which would be the quickest.
Or you can put them all in the timeline, then zoom out on the timeline (two finger squeeze).
That makes it easier to hold the clip, and drag it to the start.

I recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id?

Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

Is there an easy way to create an excel list from my contacts?

I am doing a web-marketing and I want to use my contacts in my contact list. Is there an easy way to download my contacts into an excel list format?

Using Automator, you can export some of the infoemation to a tab delimited file which Excel can open.
Re: Drag and drop from Contacts into Numbers not working - any solutions?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22309780#22309780#22309780
You can drag a selection of contacts into Numbers and it will grab a little of the Info, putting it in columns.

Is there an easy way to concatenate 2 MIDI songs in the same project

Hi!
I have 2 different songs, different instruments, different tempo (tempo list in fact!). But everything is MIDI.
Is there an easy way to concatenate the 2 songs in the same file (the end of one is the beginning of the next)? I know I can make space to import one into the other, etc. but then how do you import the instruments, the tempo list, etc. and copying track by track is long.
Thanks!
Daniel

Oh, and as far as copying instruments? If an instrument in B doesn't exist in A, copy and paste them from B's Environment into A's Environment. DO NOT use the Environment import functions. They will ruin your life (I'm quite serious about that). You have been warned.
You may find that after you get A + B together that some of B's tracks aren't assigned to the right instrument. You'll have to manually re-assign them. There's no way around this.
Do this as the last step in your process.
To do this concatenation sucessfully it's important that you follow the steps I outlined in the order I presented them. Otherwise you're in for headaches. But it's totally do-able.

Is there an easy way to use MOVE when importing from card reader?

In Lightroom 1, I would hit File -> Import From Disk which would allow me to move photos from my card reader to the hard drive.
In Lightroom 3, the only option is the normal import dialog and in order to get the "Move" option I have to select "other source" and then scroll down the list to select the card reader in order to get the "Move" option. It's a pain to do it every time. (not to mention my wife will never do it and just use "copy").
So my question is, "Is there a way to get the Move option to be available by default on my card reader?"
It's been my workflow since 2004 to have the images deleted directly after I copy them off the memory card using Adobe software (Photoshop Album 2.0, Photoshop Elements 4, Lightroom 1.0). I'm really hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this in Lightroom 3. Otherwise I will be pretty disappointed.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
brianbjork wrote:
The reason I like the move command so much is that I know when photos are on my memory cards that the are not on my computer.
LR defaults to not importing suspected duplicates. so if there are still files on the card, they will be grayed out. That's how you can know.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
brianbjork wrote:
What do you all use in your work flow to delete the pictures left on your memory cards after they are copied?
I have a shell file that removes the files from the card and ejects the disk. I keep it in my dock for easy access.
Others will tell yiou, though, to format in camera. Which is a good idea! I just like to keep my cards empty and ready.

Is there an easy way to call a java class from an applet?

Does anyone know of an easy way to call a server based java class from an applet? Has anyone done it or came across it? If yes how/where?
Cheers, Chris.

I'm not sure about the issue. Are you talking about "servelets"? "RMI"? Take a look at those issues.

Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

I've had the <input type="file"> ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now.
There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server. It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg. This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict. There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _. This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg.
     This is where the problem appears. If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem. And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
     The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located. Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology. I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not. If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it. If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
     This would be the perfect solution. It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away. This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for. If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
     Which finally leads to my question: I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax. I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
     Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.
Len

Adam,
     Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should.
     I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation. This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names). The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file. If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice. The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit. Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded.
     Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

I have 8000 photos in my iPhoto library. Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder. Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library. However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library. If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button. When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

Is there an easy way inside PS CS4 to go from psd format to jpg?

I'm working within PS CS4 on a psd file. Any easy way within PS to transform that file into jpg format? Thanks for your interest! SNL

OK, if jpg is not listed in the file type drop down box, then odds are you are in a mode that jpg does not support. Jpg is 8-bit
In newer versions of photoshop this has been partially fixed as photoshop will convert a 16 bit image to 8 bit for you. But does not alter a 32 bit image, as it does not know how you want the image to be displayed.
You can see what mode photoshop is in by looking at the tab at the top of the document window.

Is there in easy way for end-users to regularly update the music-on-hold audio file (.wav) - without having to learn or install CCA?

I want to give client the ability to change the MOH file themselves - they want to create a new announcement audio each week. They're not going to be comfortable using CCA. I was hoping to let them use FTP (from a PC Desktop) to replace the MOH file in Flash with updated .au file. Is this possible?
If not, what's the Easiest end-user method to have them place the new MOH file into the UC560?
Thanks in advance!
Sam

Hello Sam,
There is an audio port on the front of the UC560. What my clients have done is develop their MOH announcements with associated background music and upload it to an iPod or MP3 player. We plug the audio cable from the iPod into the MoH port and configure the MoH port via CCA 3.2(3). Select the Configuration - Telephony - Voice Features-Music on Hold and select to enable the external MoH port.
As your client wants to add or change the announcements, they just need to play the track and loop it.
Hope this helps.
