Is it possible to automate software instrument parameters in a MIDI region? And alias the region with the automation?

I am trying to track down a detail about how automation works in Logic Pro X.
What I want to know is:
1. Can I draw control-point curves (and smoothly bend them) in a MIDI region to automate a software instrument parameter (and/or smart controls)?
2. Can a region containing this automation be aliased and reused around the timeline (without the automation points being duplicated)?
If this is possible, can someone please post a couple of screenshots - a MIDI region with MIDI Draw automating (for example) the cutoff of an ES M, and screenshots of aliases around the timeline?
thanks!!

First, I'd recommend going to Track>other>new with same instrument. This gives you a blank lane to make a region with no notes.
Now, there are two strategies: do some track automation and then convert it to region. You can go into the local view menu and find the option to view MIDI automation and still adjust it. Now you can make aliases of that region. You need to be careful of accidentally writing new track automation, which is easy to do and can happen if you have 'move automation with regions' on for instance. If you make sure and delete all the track auto for this parameter you should be good (the line should be barely visible black, if it is highlighted in color, that means there is at least one active node at the beginning). If the parameter freaks out, instead of following your curve, you can bet there is track automation fighting with the region automation, you might need to tell the automation menu in the track header to show the parameter in question. None of this is a big deal and after doing it once you'll see.
The other strategy is to assign a controller to a parameter (or use the quick MIDI things on certain instruments - you mentioned ES2, which has that) and you can use the hyper draw in the piano roll. The view tip from the first strategy still works so you can edit the automation in the arrange. I prefer the first strategy because the knob you are automating will still move.
If you go to audio tuts plus (something like that) you can find a tut on the first method that's a few years old, and from Logic 9. Basically the same, you just have to look through different menus for everything.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

Is it possible to import a mock up from Omnigraffle into Reflow and edit the mockup on Reflow ?

Is it possible to import a mock up from Omnigraffle into Reflow and edit the mockup on Reflow ?

I don't have omnigraffle so I can tell for sure, but the main way in would be if you can get those things in omnigraffle to come into photoshop as layer shapes. Is there an omnigraffle forum to ask about better PSD export? Once you have the layers in the PSD then the import to Reflow should work well.
Hope that helps,
Chris

Is it possible to automate Software Update?

I have hughsnet satellite and am limited to 200 meg download per day. Between 3-6 AM there is no limit, and it dowan't count against the account.
Is there a way I can automate the mac software updater to auto update at 3:00 in the morning? What 3rd party progs I have seen won't do it, and I can't get the automator to do it, either.
Thanks.
Marc

Post in the Unix forum, and ask about automating software update to run at a certain time.
I believe you have to make a cron job, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. The people in that forum will know.
Good luck!

Recorded a software instrument on garageband, how do I edit out the "silence"?

I have recorded a software track, how do I edit out the "silence" that was created before and after I recorded using the keyboard?
Hope that made sense, thanks.

If you want to get rid of it forever, you could also snip and delete it:
Move the red timeline to the spot where you want to snip and remove the silence before your music comes in. Press Command T to snip. Then click anywhere in the work area to deselect all segments. Then select the beginning silent segment by clicking on it, and delete. Do the same at the end.

Software Center Application Uninstallation Button Greyed Out and Deploying an Application with Uninstall switch Fails

Hi,
I tried everything I could find on the internet but no luck so far. I can successfully deploy MS Visio 2013 to the clients. I also want to be able to uninstall it from the clients. On the client machine Uninstall button is greyed out. This deployment is
installed as "Available" and there is only one deployment type within that MS Visio 2013 Application.
I tried the following uninstall commands in my deployment:
setup.exe /uninstall
setup.exe /uninstall
VisPro
/config .\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml
“\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\setup.exe” /uninstall VisPro /config "\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml"
\\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\setup.exe /uninstall VisPro /config \\SRVSCCM2012\Sources\MSApplications\MSVisioPro_2013_64Bit_ENG\vispro.ww\uninstallvisio.xml
I checked Product ID from Setup.xml and I know it is correct. My uninstallvisio.xml' content is below:
<Configuration Product="VisPro">
<Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
</Configuration>
Last night, I downloaded and installed Cumulative Update 1 for SCCM 2012 R2 and I haven't tried the deployment after the update,yet. I will try it today but please let me know what else to check.

After I updated SCCM Server and test client pc with CU1 , I tried to deploy visio as Required. It installed successfully. Then I uninstalled visio by deploying the application with Uninstall Action.
After that I tried to deploy visio as "Available" to see if Software Center Uninstall button works. However visio deployment does not come to Software Center's Available Applications List. I check the status of the deployment under the Deployments monitoring
node and it says Success "Already Compliant". I dont know what it means. Does config manager thinks that visio already installed?
Yavuz Selim Atmaca
2 or 3 hours later that -Succes "Already Compliant"- status of the deployment under the Deployments monitoring node is vanished automatically and Software Center application list showed the new deployment. I installed it and uninstalled it succesfully.
So, you are right Solution is the CU1 but I am still wondering why my available deployment took so time to be visible in Software Center althought I didn't enter any schedule to be available.

Is it possible to have one search box search many fields? ( and "autocomplete" the results)?

I'm really new to the whole area of JSON, autocomplete and javascript. My first project in this area is personal: making it easier to search for wines in my wine cellar.
I have all my wines in a sqlite database (driven by CF 9 of course) and have a nice UI to report on, add, modify, delete, etc. What I want to add is a search capability that works like this: a user types text in a search box in any order they want and automagically, the wine is found.
To be specific, a user could start with "2005 Caymus" and the area below the text search box would be populated with all of the varietals of Caymus for 2005 that are in the cellar. Similarly the user might start the search by typing "2005 Cabernet" in which case anything in the cellar that is from 2005 and a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Cabernet Franc from all wineries would appear below the text box. Or maybe they just want to see what French wines are in the cellar, so they'd start their search with "France" or "French". (BTW, winery, vintage, wine type (varietal), country, appellation, etc. are all separate fields in the database/table.)
Is my imagined search capability possible, or does each aspect of the search (year, winery, wine type/varietal) have to be user-entered into a separate text box?
Any guidance/answers greatly appreciated! If you're local, might even be worth sharing a vintage bottle of wine!

Sorry I was unclear.
Google is a single text box. If you type "coldfusion 9 new features"
you get a good listing of your results without having one box for
software one for version one for descriptor and
one for topic . Similarly with Google it's likely you'll get
somewhat similar results typing in "new features coldfusion 9" or
"coldfusion 9 features". So for my wine app I just want to present the
user with one box so they can type in "Caymus 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon"
(a "specific" search) or "2005" (a search for all wines from that year),
etc. It's the cleanness of the user experience I'm trying to
accommodate here. Make sense?

Printer Software not Working for Windows 8.1 and Drivers not Working with USB 3.0

We have a HP CM1312 MFP. We recently got two new windows 8.1 machines. We tried downloading and installing the windows 8 64 bit software, but everytime we tried installing the software the software program would exit abruptly.
We then tried just downloading the printer drivers and installing these. They installed ok, but when we tried to connect the printer via USB it said the printer did not support USB 3.0 which are the only ports we have on the new computers.
Is there a solution to either of these problems? Without the software we cannot use the fax or scanner.
Thanks.

Can you connect USB 2.0 data drives?
What make/model are the computers?

With recent calls , is it possible to save certain calls without saving them to contacts and delete the ones i dont want?

My question is ,
with the recent calls is the a way to save certain calls without saving them as contacts, and delete the others that i dont need? I am a truck driver and i need only certain calls during the day and if i could delete only the ones that arent needed for the day and keep the others that would make the day run smoother. Each is different and when the day is finished then i would delete the ones i needed for the day and start all over again. Is this possible?

I think you would have to reinstall the keys seeing that if you format the computer all the data is gone. Even though you backed up that data you never know what can happen when you try to reinstall certain apps. Not sure what method you can go by, you should run a diagnostics test to see how you computer is doing internally.
Goodluck

I just downloaded the software update for Yosemite after it restarted and installed the software I have a white screen. What should I do ?o

I Just downloaded the latest software for Yosemite 10.10 after it restarted and installed the software it stopped, now I have a white screen. What should I do now?

Hi ..
Hold down the power button until the screen goes black.
Wait about ten seconds then restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to verify and repair the startup disk if necessary and reinstall OS X. (10.10.1)

Is it possible to switch software instruments in mid-track?

Or do you just have to continue the part in a different track with the new instrument?

Thanks, I figured as much. I was hoping there might be a way to do it with MIDI program changes (you can switch instruments if you're driving, say, the QuickTime synthesizer) but that's doubtful, too. Oh well, making another track isn't so bad!

Is it possible to copy text from word, paste it in InD and bring the footnotes with it?

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
No -- copying from Word to InDesign uses the regular interapplication clipboard, and is copied as plain unformatted text.
"Without linking to the Word file" ... well, it is a user preference (in the Preferences panel, no less) to link to text documents or not. I think you could defeat the automatic linking if you import the entire file into a new ID document and then copy out just the part you need (and that would include footnotes as well as any and all other formatting).

I just downloaded the recent Maverick Software Update onto my Macbook Pro 15" and when the download/reset finished, my screen was completely black and I have not been able to get it back since. Help?

My computer had been wanting to do a software update, with what I believe was the Mavericks Software, for a few weeks but I had been putting it off. When I finally decided to install the update onto my Macbook Pro 15" today, my screen went completely black and I haven't been able to get it back since. The computer still turns on, I can tell because my caps lock key still glows when I press it and my volume buttons still make sounds when I press them. However, I cannot see anything on the screen. I don't even get the grey start up screen when I reset my computer. I have tried the SafeMode Restart where you hold Shift while it is restarting and the Display Reset in which you hold Command + Option (alt) + R + P until you hear the start up noise twice, and neither have worked. Any other advice on what I can do to get my screen back without having to send my computer away to be fixed?

Try a SMC reset:

Is it possible to take a wireless signal into my time capsule, and use the LAN connections?

Hello everyone,
My wife has a clinic behind our house, that does not currently have a hard wired ethernet connection. We are wondering if we can use our old 2nd generation time capsule to pick up the wirless signal from our home, and then use the LAN connections on the back to tie her credit card/debit machine into? If we can't use the time capsule is there anything out there that would allow us to accomplish this?
Thank you for your time

We are wondering if we can use our old 2nd generation time capsule to pick up the wirless signal from our home, and then use the LAN connections on the back to tie her credit card/debit machine into?
Yes....IF.....the wireless network in the house is provided by another Apple wireless router. In that case, the Time Capsule can be configured to "extend a wireless network". When it does this, the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are enabled as well.
If the wireless network in the house is provided by a third party wireless router, there is a special feature only present on the AirPort Express that would allow it to be configured to "join" the wireless network. When it does this, the Ethernet ports are enabled on the Express.
As you might imagine, the Ethernet signal is only going to be as good as the quality of the wireless signal connection between the house and the clinic. As a test, take a laptop out to the clinic and see if you can get a good Internet connection that way. If you can, then an AirPort should work well for you.

Is it possible to plug an ipad 3 into a plasma tv and have the screen of the ipad show up to watch netflix without apple tv?

hi i cant get my ipad to show netflix when i plug my ipad 3 into the flat screen hd tv? can anybody be able to help me?

OscarXcore-
I do not know if Netflix makes a difference. One approach is to use Apple's Digital AV adapter. It requires that your TV have an HDMI input.
