Is there any downside to writing plain old log files?

Hi all;
We have our web & worker roles using log4net to write log files to disk. It works great where we then remote desktop in and go to the folder where they are and we've got exactly what we want - a daily log file for each worker.
Is there any downside to this approach?
Also, is there an easy way to have it delete all log files over a month old?
thanks - dave

Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

hi dave,
If you stored the log file on instances disk, you may get them using the RDP. But if you redeployed ,auto-scaled the cloud service, the log file maybe removed. So I don't recommend you storage the content on Azure instances disk.
If you stored the log file on Azure Blob/Table storage (https://github.com/crossvertise/log4net.Appender.AzureBlobStorage/tree/master/TransactionLogger),
you could view it using some tool,such as Azure server explore and Azure storage Explore. And Azure storage will backup your storage data well.
>>Also, is there an easy way to have it delete all log files over a month old?
If you storage on azure storage, the one approach is that you could remove it manually . Another approach is that you could create a service on your project. And then you could create a Job using Scheduler service (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn479785.aspx
). If you don't like to use the Scheduler service, you could coding a delete log data or file method and execulted this method every day.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

I want to run Lexware on my imac and was told I need bootcamp / parallels for this. Are there any downsides to this?

Hello, I need to run bookkeepting/ bill writing/ store management software on my imac and would like to use Lexware's German product (equivalent of Quickbooks), which can directly link to the German tax autorities. I was told I can do this from my imac via Bootcamp (they dont do a mac version).
Is this advisable and are there any downsides? Is it simple enough? Do I need to be online to use the Lexware software (I live in the deepest countryside with a wobbly connection!).
Thanks a lot for any hints or advice.

There shouldn't be any issues as Boot Camp allows installation of Windows which runs natively just as if you were on a PC. The only downside is that you have to buy a Windows full install disk. Be sure it is the right version for your software.

Is there any downside mixing Objective-C with C++ for iOS apps?

I'd like to use C++ since it's fast and more dynamically in memory reference.
Is there any downside mixing Objective-C with C++ for iOS apps?
When googled for info, I only found tutorials about how to let xcode compile Objective-C with C++.
Thanks for help.

Both Objective-C and C++ are (more or less) extensions of C.
C supports manipulation of pointers and casting of pointers, this implies that both Objective-C and C++ will be able to manipulate C data like arrays, structs ...
Objective-C has classes like NSData to read/write blocks of bytes from/to file and to access ranges of bytes when the data is loaded into memory.
C++ probably has similar classes (I'm not well versed in C++ so I don't know).
If you want to look into using C++ you will probably want to look at Objective-C++, the link below has links to docs on how to use C++ with Objective-C:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3684112/what-is-objective-c
Thanks for the info, NSData does what I need.
A replied in the link also mentioned that he's using C++ in his application too. As long as I'm aware of memory management (prevent memory leaks, etc) as @disguise said, it should be fine.
@etresoft indeed, but C is the base language of ObjC, there are ways to deal with.

Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

Is there any way to access my old my verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago? I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

Is there any way to access my old my Verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago? I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?
Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.
On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.

My old computer that ran on Mavericks was stolen and my new computer runs on Yosemite. I don't like the new iMovie (10) on the Yosemite version. Is there any way to get the old version (9) back?

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

Is there any way to keep the old maps app?

I'd upgrade, but maps the way it is now works very well for me and is one of the things I use most on my iPhone. Is there any way to keep the old version of maps when upgrading?

No - just don't upgrade until Google release there maps app. I wish I could go back to yesterday and give myself this advice.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables

is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables
Rohit Pasrija

hi Rohit,
If you want to delete old data automatically, I think you need develop this feature by yourself. You could code the logic methods on your project, and set a timer to execute the methods to delete old data. Please refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13602629/is-it-possible-to-acces-a-table-storage-in-azure-from-an-azure-web-site
), you could operate table storage data using azure sdk or REST API.
Please try it.

Is there any source that I can find "prel" files?

Hi all,
Is there any source that I can find "prel" files!
I realized that the best way of learning for me is to open prel files and examine ready projects and adjust according to my needs!
This method is fastest according to reading books or watching tutorials!
Any other suggessions about the ways of learning Adobe Premiere??
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Steve!
So much effort, knowledge and energy! You seem to me as you are from another planet!
By your replies I understand that PE7 and Sony Vegas Pro 9 work differently!
Because I have many "veg" files, I just only change the letters or pictures!
Indeed I was looking for "veg" equivalent of Premiere Elements!

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

Ha! Perfectly classic case of XY problem! Pointed out by Jongware in some other thread recently - couldn't find an exact link right now...
In short:
    User wants to do X.
    User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks he can fumble his way to a solution if he can just manage to do Y.
    User doesn't know how to do Y either.
    User asks for help with Y.
    Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
    After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.
Maybe it worth to add to a list of tips and best practices of the forum:
Avoid XY problem!
