Just the time to praise Garageband, aint it about time someone did!

Im stopping here to say thanks to APPLE for this great product. Who says these apple discussions have to always be about problems. For those who have mastered it and have put it to use its time i think to praise it. Especially those who are lucky like me who can really abuse it with a Quad loaded with 5 GB RAM.
It has allowed me to create some really nice music and without the effort i would need to do it like on these monster DAW's. Logic Express is not in the playing cards for me for now. If Apple decides to create a Logicband or Garageband 4 with more musical features then ill be just the happier for it.
Im just tipping my cap off to it and want to thank all those who have put up with my questions for the last 3 years.
The only thing thats missing now is Time.

Just good enough and better if you really know what youre doing. You have to be creative with it not have it make the song for you.
GB3, LE, name it. all will turn you off if you are just using it to repeat a musical loop for 30 seconds with a stiff drum beat and a monotonous bass loop added. There are third party loops out there ( AMG) that can be cut and pasted and surpass most of you guitarists out there. But if you can play great guitar then GB3 is IMHO great also. The DAW aint gonna make your song tasty catchy melodic etc if it ***** to begin with.
I am so taken by your post ( KB) because you have spelled it out so nicely.
These technophiliacs spend more time on perfecting the sound quality but more often than not and from what ive listened to the quality of the song is so often overlooked.
That you will always be responsible for and no software will create that for you.

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

My imac turns on with start up sound then nothing else just the timer going round

Try restarting holding down the SHIFT key. That will do a directory check in Safe mode. It will take longer to start so continue to be patient.
If it starts in Safe mode, then restart normally and see how that goes.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

How to return just the TIME in a date time stamp column?

Hello.
My 'DATETIMESTAMP' column ordinarily returns '15/11/2011 10:32:15'.
If I TRUNC(DATETIMESTAMP) I can get just the date - which is great.
But what I want here is just the TIME element.
SUBSTR doesn't seem to return anything after the date element.
I've searched high-and-low!
Any thoughts people?
Cheers.
Ady.

I don't believe it - I could have sworn I'd tried that!
Cheers pal.
That's fixed it for me.

My ipod touch is frozen blank w/ just the time and full batt. charge icon on top. No response to anything. Would prefer not to restore as i lost most of my music files on my old comp and do not have them on my new itunes. Please help!

Help please! My ipod touch has been acting a little funny lately (freezing often, running out of battery even though it's off, skipping or stopping tracks...). Now it's just plain frozen- it will not respond to holding the middle button down for long periods of time or the off button. it is just blank except for up top still has the same text as usual "ipod" with the time in the center and a full battery charge icon. I have tried everything but restoring as I will lose 85% of my music b/c my old files were lost when my old computer died and now are only on the ipod. Any suggestions? Thanks!

have you tried holding down the home + sleep button together? this could possibly work.

AppleScript or Automater to Set Time Zone (or just the time)

Hi,
I am trying to have a script that will change the timezone to UK - (ie reduce my macbook by one hour from European time) before I run an application.
I use a MythTV backend on my network that is in UK time, and I am in Europe. However, the mythfront end I have on my mac needs to be in same timezone for it to work with the backend.
However, instead of having to go to the System Prefs before I want to run the myth front end, I'll like to build a Automater workflow (app) that changes time to UK time, runs the mythfront end (and changes back once I close myth front end).
My problem is I can't get any workflow to work to change the timezone. I found a workflow on the net for Automater, but this doesn't work. The auomater app was called 'Set Time Zone 1.0 - by NyghtHawk productions' but only returns this error about not being able to find this file:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/syst emsetup-panther.
(which I guess is obvious as I'm using Snow leopard and not panther)
Does anyone know of a working way to script setting the time in Mac Os X ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

I have solved the Applescripting of System Preferences to change the Time Zone.
My problem is that my time zone (Melbourne - Australia) causes my 3rd gen iPod nano to lose its time zone and time settings when it is _plugged in_ to my mac (Note: Not when it is synchronised).
I have a pair of Applescripts: the first sets the time zone to Noumea, run before the iPod is plugged in and the second resets the time zone to Melbourne after the iPod is physically disconnected.
timezone=Noumea
This script is run BEFORE plugging in the iPod.
This ensures the iPod time zone is not NUKED.
The corresponding script to reset time zone is
run when iPod is physically disconnected
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
(* get Date & Time preference pane *)
tell menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
delay 0.5
click menu item "Date & Time" of menu 1
end tell
(* get Time Zone subpane *)
tell tab group 1 of window "Date & Time"
click radio button "Time Zone"
tell group 1
set value of combo box 1 to "Nouméa - New Caledonia"
We need to focus the combo box before "hitting" return
PROBLEM: we dont know if it is already focused
a) if is already focused the first 'return' key sets the time zone
b) if was not focused the first 'return' key does nothing
the 'tab' key will then focus it
and then the second 'return' key sets the time zone
keystroke return & tab & return -- make it stick
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Updated to 5.0.1 and now i have a battery that doesn't even last half the time it did. I DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE FIX to this problem or help me downgrade to 5.0

what a waste of an update, someone needs a pay reduction in that place.

my battery life is significantly worse since installing ios 5.0.1
I have the 4S, 32 gig and initially had battery drain issue, daining around 10% an hour on standby. I switched off most of the location based services, most of the notifications, siwthced off all the system services, switched off wifi ad bluetooth and just kept the basic functions and it worked great! was going down 1-2% an hour on standby and last me the entire day with light use.
I thought the 5.0.1 would further improve battery life but since dowloading it, im draining at around 5-7% an hour on standy and quicker when i use the phone.
It is a lot worse now cuz there is nothing else i can swtich off (apart from the effing phone itself!)
So no, not only 5.0.1 didnt help, it has made it significantly worse.
Any ways i can revert it back to 5.0?

My Mac restart all the time and did't works

I turn on my iMac and about one minute it is rebooting again

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

How can I select the time values of a signal and connect them to the y-input of a divide command?

Hi,
I have an analog signal connected with a threshold peak detector. The counted peaks shall be divided by the total time of the recorded signal. My problem is, I don't know how to connect just the the x-values, i.e. the time component of the signal, to the divide command. I have no idea how to "split" the signal so that I don't have the whole signal but just the time in seconds as an output of the measured or filtered signal sub-VI, respectively.
Does anyone have a hint?
Thanks for your help,
Philipp

Hi Phillipp,
do you mean you have a waveform and you want to get the components? In this case "Get Waveform Components" should work.

Lion networking.. just need to reboot everything.. modem TC and the clients.. then it will work.. Sometimes just the TC is enough.. sometimes just the computer. .. Vista golden networking award.. did you turn it off and on again??

We bought a reconditioned IMac and time capsule,about a month ago the hard drive died and only left our files on the capsule which could not be retrieved from the time capsule so it got stored as a file on the operating system

Our IMac's hard drive died and we thought great we bought a time capsule to back up the immages and files,except when we had the hard drive replaced the time capsule did not recognize the newer opperating system and would not reboot the files back,so the apple store tech loaded them into a file folder and loaded them to the main screen and erased the time capsule,the problem now is how to load this file back permenantly and watch video's that are stored,when in I Photo when I try to view video content I get a message stating that I may need to download more software to support this format.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

How to get rid of the "time" for the airport connection?

Hello,
When I connect to the wireless network at my house my Airport Symbol (top right of screen by date & time, speaker volume, etc) shows the amount of time spent on the wireless network. It shows it in day, hour, minute & second. When I connect to wireless networks outside of my home, the airport symbol is there, but with no "time" next to it.
How do I set this up so that no "time" is showing but the airport symbol remains?
My buddy's "time" never shows up, but when he comes to my house it does...
I cannot seem to find the setting to remove just the time...
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Found it... It can be changed via the drop down menu from the wireless icon in the top right part of the screen. You can get an second menu from your network name and can choose to show the time or not.

How do I reset the time in my email.the computer has the right time but the time stamp is three hours earlier. If I go to my ISP website, the time is correct

I was locked out of my ISP mail for a few hours. When it was restored, the time stamp on the email through their website was correct, but the time stamp in Apple mail is 3hr earlier. The clock on ther computer is fine just the time stamp in apple mailis off.
Thanks

I'm the OP and just read https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5817181 which attempts to outline the error in mavericks with regards to ntpd and pacemaker. I think just replacing the -302.642 with 0.00002 will keep me closer to the mark and I'll anxiously await the real fix as well--in 10.9.2 [hope x3] unless of course someone really knows how to fix this.
