Is their a "right way" to encode what I am importing?

g4 p-book 15 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The right way will be whatever suits your needs. AAC format gives good quality small files if space on your hard drive is a priority and it is Apple's preferred encoder. MP3 is useful because it also provides small files but is more compatible than AAC if you have a) a portable player other than an iPod or b) an in-car player that will play CDs and MP3s. If you have lots of space you can import in the Aiff format your CDs are already in or for lossless encoded files that are around half the size of Aiff you can use Apple Lossless. In both cases these will give you better quality than AAC or MP3.
This two part article will give you some good comparison information:

AAC v MP3 Part Two http://www.recordstorereview.com/misc/aacmp3part2.shtml

What is the right way to do a sysprep Image for Windows 7 and 8

Hi,
i´d like to know which way is the right one to do a sysprepp from an System with Windows 7/8.
Is it ok when I install the system with all drivers/patches etc. and after that I will open a command prompt with admin rights and choose the settings OOBE and Genrealize and Shutdown.
After that I create an Image with ImageX or Acronis and I´m ready to deplay it right? The local user which I created during the installaton should stay as an Supportuser.
So is ok or is there something wrong. Microsoft itself shows this way here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ee530017.aspx
But they write a lot of other faq´s where they discribe other ways. So what is now right and wrong?
Please don´t le my die stupid ;)
Regards,
The Core

Hi,
Any update here? Have you checked the links above?
Regarding your concern, it is OK to install the drivers or patches before you Genrealize the image. And if we want to keep the drivers during sysprep in order to use it on the computers with the same hardware configuration, we should specify
PersistAllDeviceInstalls to true.
Important: When you set up your reference computer, Windows Setup installs drivers for any detected devices. By default, Windows Setup removes these drivers when you generalize the system. If you're deploying the image to computers that
have the same hardware and devices, you'll want Windows Setup to reinstall these same drivers. To keep these drivers on the computer during system generalization, set the Microsoft-Windows-PnPSysprep |
PersistAllDeviceInstalls setting to true.
The video shows the general steps using sysprep and imagex to capture the image. If you have no special requirements for drivers, or some applications need to be specific, just follow the steps. OOBE is a simple booting process, and audit mode is a process
to specific the image. More information, see:
Customize Windows in Audit Mode
Any other concerns?

What's the right way to delete an entire backup ?

I've had two Macs doing wireless Time Machine backups to one Time Capsule.
Question: I got rid of one Mac, and want to delete its backup entirely (but leave the other computer's backups untouched). What's the right way to do it?

Bob Timmons wrote:
Jespes, welcome to the discussions!
Open your hard drive. Your Time Capsule icon should appear under the SHARED heading.
Click on the Time Capsule and a folder will appear to the right.
Double click the folder and you should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that has been backing up.
Click on the xxxxx.sparsebundle file that you want to delete to highlight it and then click the gear shaped icon just above. Select Move to Trash. (Do not drag the file to the Trash as this will not work).
Be careful, as the file will be deleted instantly and you will not be able to retrieve it.
many thanks!

What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

H All:
What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
(Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler from firing.
Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the below error.
// Below code fails with
// 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
//   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn. So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
There must be a better way(?).
Thanks
            import fl.controls.DataGrid;
            import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
           // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not fill the space tor the datagrid.
            myDataGrid.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
            var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes");
            c1.width = 90;
            c1.cellRenderer = CenterAlignCell;
            c1.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);

What is the right way to display a table in Java web dynpro using a node.

Hi experts,
I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro. In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
Thanks and Regards.

Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows
Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
Now coming to final solution :
For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

What is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging?

what is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging.
is it connect the magsafe connector first before plugging the adapter to the outlet? or the way around? or both ways will do?
what if i'm using a surge protection with a on/off button, can I just turn the surge protector extension on and off without disconnecting the magsafe connector and adapter plug from my laptop when i'm not using it?
thank you very much

If there is any arcing it may be because the adapter is dirty. It is best to plug in the wall wart then attach the magsafe to the MacBook. As GfulDedFan mentioned this reduces the chance of power surging the MacBook. I have done mine this way since he day I bought it and have never had an arc. I keep it clean to reduce the chance of this happening. The following will help in the care of your supply.

What is the right way to change the active JInternalFrame for and MDI app?

I am working on my own implementation of the window menu. The action that is triggered when a customer chooses a window to activate from the list in the menu is not behaving as I expected. The code I wrote (below) switches frames correctly but the caption bar never gets updated and if you restore a frame from an icon the frame is not correctly activated, there is even a restore button which if you push fixes things up and the frame then behaves normally     if (frameToActivate.isIcon ()) {
          // Restore from icon
          desktopPane().getDesktopManager().deiconifyFrame (frameToActivate);
     desktopPane().getDesktopManager().activateFrame (frameToActivate);
     desktopPane().setSelectedFrame (frameToActivate);I did a search of the web and found a tip on JavaWorld (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2001/jw-0525-mdi.html) which led me to try doing this from a different angle - the JInternalFrame's point of view. This code works     try {
          if (frameToActivate.isIcon ()) {
               // Restore from icon
               frameToActivate.setIcon (false);
          frameToActivate.moveToFront();
          frameToActivate.setSelected (true);
     } catch (PropertyVetoException error) {
          error.printStackTrace();
     }My question is why does the desktop based approach not work? If methods exist that appear to let you restore and switch between frames why are the ineffective? Am I missing something obvious that I should be doing?
If using the JInternalFrame methods is the right way to go then I will It just seems like if the DesktopManager has methods that advertise that is supports managing the active frame then they should work. Before I ignore them I want to check with you to see if there is a right way to use them.
Ian

So, this is another batch of duke dollars I cannot assign - since I solved my own problem:-)
I had an epiphany and tried setting break points to see what code was executed when you click on an inactive frame. From that I determined that DefaultDesktopManager.activateFrame, as implemented, does not activate the frame but acknowledges the activation of a frame and does a small amount of bookeeping work for the DesktopManager. So, the solution is the code I wrote to switch focus using the JInternalFrame's methods. Since I did not want to have to write those nine lines of code in the couple of places I want to programmatically switch the active frame I added a get/setActiveFrame method to my JDesktopPane derivative. In case others face this problem here is the code (warning I have not yet setup building the JavaDocs for this project so I cannot vouch for the validity of the JavaDoc, but the code does work):/**
* Bring frameToActivate to the front (restoring from icon if neccessary) and make it the
* selected frame. This method does all the things required to switch the active frame for
* an MDI application unlike: @link JDesktopPane.setSelectedFrame, which does not change the
* focus; @link javax.swing.DefaultDesktopManager.activateFrame which does not correctly
* handle iconified frames or switch the focus properly; and
* @link javax.swing.JInternalFramesetSelected which also does not handle iconified frames.
* @param frameToActivate the frame to bring to the front and become the active window
* @throws IllegalArgumentException
public void setActiveFrame (JInternalFrame frameToActivate) throws IllegalArgumentException {
    if (frameToActivate == null)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException ("setActiveFrame a frame must be passed a non null valie.");
    try {
        if (frameToActivate.isIcon ()) {
            // Restore from icon
            frameToActivate.setIcon (false);
        frameToActivate.moveToFront();
        frameToActivate.setSelected (true);
    } catch (PropertyVetoException error) {
* This method returns the currently active frame. This method returns the same frame
* as <code>getSelectedFrame</code> and is provided for symetry for <code>setActiveFrame</code>.
* @return the currently active frame
* @see LDesktopPane.setActiveFrame
* @see javax.swing.JDesktopPane.getSelectedFrame
public JInternalFrame getActiveFrame () {
    return getSelectedFrame ();

What's the right way to export contents (and meta-info) for a playlist?

I have a huge iTunes library and want to move a part of it onto a netbook (running a Linux music manager) with much less disk space. I can put the things I want to move into a separate playlist. Now, how do I export them onto a flashdrive (to move it to the other machine) such that things like album art, descriptive info, and other meta-data move along with it? Is it possible?
Mike

Does the netbook have a CD drive?
nope, but I have a 4 gig thumbdrive to do the transfer with and the netbook has a 16 gig solid state disk in it.
As far as I know, there's no easy way to do what you want to. If the netbook
doesn't have a CD drive, I might reccommend burning a disc anyway. Make sure
you select to burn a File CD, not a music CD. Then, put the CD in your
computer (not the netbook) and copy the files to a Flash Drive. I might be
able to find a better solution. I'll get back to you if I do.
interesting. Does the "file CD" then contain metadata such as album art, lyrics, etc.? thanks!

What's the "right" way to create a News list in CQ5.4?

Hey folks,
I'm a brand new CQ developer and, though I've done a lot of reading, I'm still in the dark on how to do a few things.
I'm currently working on a corporate website, and I need to build a News page. Each article contains a title and rich text (possibly including embedded images, videos, etc...), and the News page itself should display a paginated list of recent article summaries (with "read full article" links). I also need to show the two or three most recent article summaries on the site's front page, under a News heading.
I thought there'd be a pre-built component to cover this case, since most corporate sites include a News page of some sort, but I haven't found one. Am I missing it? I looked into the Blog page template, but I think that adapting that may be overkill.
I think that the right way to do this would be to build a News component with a Title and Rich Text field in the edit dialog. New articles could be created by dropping these components into the parsys of the News page. I could then create both a .html and a .summary view for the components and use a customized List component to display the summary list on the front page. Am I on the right track here, or am I overcomplicating it?
Thanks!
- Michael

Hi,
The "right" way of building any list-like component is to extend the existing List component.
That is referenced in this documentation page:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/default_components.html#List
You can find it under /libs/foundation/components/lists
To create, for example, a 'News List' component, just create a new component under your /apps/myproject/components, setting 'foundation/components/list' as sling:resourceSuperType ans add your custom script to display each news item. see also [1]
That way you canprovide more renderers to be used around your site(s)

Hope this helps,

What is the right way to re-format idop's Classic Hard Disk?

Since my ipod classic 160 GB is malfunctioning, after I did a lot of restores
trying to fix it without success,
I've done a HDSMARTDATA test with the following results:
Retracts: 2
Reallocs: 9880
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 16
Start/Stops: 296
Temp: Current 25c
Temp: Min 19c
Temp: Max 56c
I can see that there are a lot of Reallocs .
a) Can anybody advice, if they are really a lot enough to cause problems, e.g. not playing songs, rebooting itself e.t.c.
b) I was thinking to reformat its HD. Can anybody tell me which is the RIGHT way to do that (steps)?
c) Will I be able to restore its firmware (via itunes) after the re-formating ?
The current firmware is 2.0.4.
I use Windows XP (SP3), and the latest revision of itunes (10.1.1.4).

Yes you can format ipod in windows just like you format any usb device, and then use restore in itunes. Check the link: http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml .
