Keeping Mavericks Installer for later use

I am about to install Mavericks. I am told that the download installs an installer file and another file which can be used to reinstall Mavericks at a later date, if needed. That other file is deleted as soon as the installer file is run and Mavericks installs.
How can I find that other file and save it to DVD before running the installer (filename, where it is.)?
Thanks.

Sounds like you want a clone of your newly made system complete with Mavericks plus all your files. You can do this in any number of ways. It's basically just a backup. Since 10.8.3 Time Machine maintains an invisible copy of the Recovery HD so that you can boot from the Time Machine backup drive, reinstall OS X, then restore your files.
Or you can create an initial clone of your hard drive that is bootable. This bootable backup can be incrementally updated in almost any way you want using third-party backup software. These backups may be scheduled with greater flexibility than Time Machine provides.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things
    Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

XML parsing (KXml) - how to save parser's position for later use?

Hello.
I am parsing an xml file using KXmlParser and i want to keep the position of the parser for later use so i can continue from that same position.
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
        if (coupletForm!=null) {
            coupletForm.deleteAll();
        while (eventType != KXmlParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
            if (eventType == KXmlParser.START_TAG ){
                String element_name = parser.getName();
                if (element_name.equals("couplet")) {
                    coupletForm = new Form("Couplet 1");
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_one")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                    //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions = null;
                    coupletOptions = new ChoiceGroup("Choose lead:", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_two")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                   //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    coupletForm.append(coupletOptions);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                    coupletForm.addCommand(CMD_NEXT);
                    coupletForm.setCommandListener(this);
                    display.setCurrent(coupletForm);
                    break;
            eventType = parser.next();
    }What i am doing here is parsing the xml file. When the parser finds an element with name <lead_one> it continues parsing until it finds the next element (<description>) and then creates a ChoiceGroup with the first option as the text found in the next element. I want to keep this position of the parser. The parser then continues until it finds element <lead_two> and does the same thing as <lead_one>. I want to save the positions of the parser when it stops at the <description> element. I am trying to do this using a stack, but this doesn't work.

If you want to select nodes based on changing criteria, you should use XPath.
If you have relatively fixed criteria, iterate over the nodes and pick out the ones that you want. For example:
public static List<Element> getChildren(Element parent, String tagname) {
    List<Element> result = new ArrayList<Element>();
    NodeList children = parent.getChildNodes();
    for (int ii = 0 ; ii < children.getLength() ; ii++) {
      Node child = children.item(ii);
      if ((child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) && tagname.equals(child.getNodeName()) {
        result.add((Element)child);
    return result;
}

Best method for timestamping? (for later use with perl script)

What is the best method that I can use to timestamp events in Linux for later use with perl script?
I am performing some energy measurements.. where I am running several tasks separated by 20 secs in between. Before I start any execution of tasks, I always place initial delay for me to start the script and start the measurement device.
My problem is that I don't know how long is that first delay exactly. So to solve this, I thought I could use date commands to time stamp all tasks.. or at least to timestamp first dela.
Here is example of what I am doing:
1st delay
task 1
20s
task 2
20s
task 3..... etc
What would be the best to use?

logger.
It posts messages straight to the system log. You can see the message, in all its glory using tools like journalctl. You will see the message, the date, time, host name, user name, and the PID of logger when it ran.

Where are mobile Illustrator draw files stored for later use in Desktop Illustrator?

Hello,
who can tell me, where Mobile Illustrator draw vector files are stored for later use in Desktop Illustrator? In the cloud there are only .png and .jpg files. The Files are sent immediately to the desktop software, but when I want to use them later, I cannot find them anymore.

What exactly are your steps?
Create new file in Draw
Draw something
Send to Illustrator
... and then? Does Illustrator open on the desktop? What do you do with the Draw file?

Can CC subscribers install LR CC for evaluation and keep LR5.7 for production use?

I'd like to evaluate LR CC, but have plugins that aren't yet compatible with it. Therefore, I want to keep LR5.7 for production use. Is this possible?

Yes, LR 6 will convert (by making a copy) your catalog, and you can then edit in the new version. You must take some caution, e.g. in operations that change your actual images (such as writing metadata or moving images around).
The safest thing would be to NOT convert your catalog but rather build a whole separate work area of images and catalog that is disposable, but it is certainly possible to test LR6 in place if you are careful and aware of what operations you take.
Note you can run LR 5.7.1 and LR 6 (aka CC) from Creative Cloud at the same time as well -- you can even go back and install prior versions from the CC app.

How to continuously do AOAI and buffer the data for later use?

Is there a way to do simultaneous AI and AO and keep the data in the buffer until I am finished with reading, then read the buffer and save the data to disc. I want to acquire 1000 scans on up to 10 chanels at 10 000 Scans/s, while generating one output signal.
I have seen plenty of continuous AIAO examples, but all they do is show the data. I don't mind not viewing the data, all I want is to hold it for later analysis, while avoiding writing to disc as I fear this will slow the process too much. Or would a different approach than simultaneous AIAO be more appropriate?
I am using LabView 6.1 with 6024E DAQ card on a P-IV 1.5GHz.

Use this vi MainProg.vi in the llb
i use a same engine to acquire at 2 MS/s and generate at 3 MS/s

Archiving to DVD, but want it for later use

Hi,
I have read a number of posts about archiving footage, but either I am daft or my specific concerns haven't quite been answered.
I have a number of short clips (20-25 minutes) that have filled up my hard drive. They are all above DVD storage limitations, but I need to take them off. However, I am not totally done with them. I may want to re-edit some of them later.
The other posts seem to suggest my only options are re-exporting them to tape or getting an external hard drive.
Is there no other way?

What other way are you looking for???
Back up methods:
1) Back up tape drives. Most reliable, extremely cost ineffective for individual use.
2) Back up video to miniDV tape. Best option to archive video material. Cost effective but time consuming.
3) Use hard drives. Depending on the frequency of needing hard drives, purchasing a hot swappable case can be beneficial. Hard drives are inexpensive per GB, the fastest of all options, and fairly reliable.
4) Optical Media. The least reliable of the back up options. Time consuming sorting and burning media. Cost per GB is comparable to hard drives but seems less expensive as you can by a spindle of 20 discs for less than a hard drive.
If there is another back up option, I don't know of it!

How can I save a named filter and sorting for later use?

I regularly do several different complex filtering and sorting on large tables. I did not find a way to save them for later one-click reuse. So I always have to do it again, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Hoped to get a solution by AppleScript, but filter and sort is not accessible by scripting.
Is there a way or does Apple have it on it´s agenda for future versions of Numbers?

Hi Jan,
filter and sort is not accessible by scripting.
There is some support for sort (and less for filter) in Numbers 3.
Table has a filtered property.
And you can sort.
A sort example can be found at https://iworkautomation.com/numbers/table-sort.html.
Not sure if this will be sufficient to handle your needs, but just wanted to point out there is some scripting support.

Keeping recovery partition hidden for later use

Hello all,
I have HP Envy M6-n012dx and it's got pre-installed Windows 8. I see the recovery partition is named D: in my PC (and I don't know why it needs to be shown in my PC as it could easily be messed up). I shrank my C drive and made two extra partitions E and F. What I would like to do now is to remove the drive letter from recovery partition and rename my E and F drives to D and E respectively.
This way my recovery partition would be hidden. Later on, if I want to fully reset my PC through recovery I will assign a drive letter to this recovery partiton. Will it work this way or I'll just ruin my recovery? Actually I don't want to perform a test on it as it would ruin my recovery. Also, I don't want to make recovery DVDs/USB out of it as I want it to be preseved in my laptop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Pleae use the following steps to hide a partition: http://www.papervisions.com/hide-your-hard-drive-partition-in-windows-8-187xp-without-any-softwarehow-to/ Regards.

How can i cut down the video's i've shot to only have the best parts in them for later use

first thing I was wondering was. I upgraded to the premiere user to where I have 20mb of storage but I take a lot of spearfishing video's and photo's and the 20mb is just about full. I see I can buy more memory but should I just get a external hard drive to keep all my photo's and video's and if I do that is it easy to get the materials that I need for me to create my new projects in premiere elements or should I just buy more memory. the second thing I was wondering is that I take a lot of spearfishing videos and each dive can be 15min long but only have about 4min of action footage that I actually use. so my question is after I download the video's from my camera can I go through them and extract the good footage and save it like that for me to use at a later date in my projects. it would save a lot of time and a lot of memory to be able to do it this way and if I can how do I go about doing it. thank you for all your help Cory

"I download the video's from my camera can I go through them and extract the good footage and save it like that for me to use at a later date in my projects."
This is the very definition of video editing, Cory! That's what the program is designed to do!
If you need some help with the basics of this program, I've created a free 8-part Basic Training series of tutorials for Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com. That may be the best place to start.

The most important step in any project is setting up the project settings to match your source video as precisely as possible. I cover this in part 1, so watch it carefully. I go into greater detail on setting up a project and capturing, editing and outputting video in my books, if you're interested.
As for Photoshop.com, I'm not sure it's worth buying more than 20 gig of backup space online at this point. You'd be better off investing in a good, large second hard drive for your media and project files. Save the online backup for your finished pieces.

How can I save a clip for later use?

When I am editing a project and going through my footage I often find a short clip that I'd like to use maybe later in the timeline or possibly to use in a different project. How can I do that?
This may be obvious but I want to rename and save that clip somewhere (I'm assuming the event library) so do I have to create a new clip from the original and save it or what?
Again, sorry of this is basic but its these litle things that seem to be the hardest to find out but make the biggest difference to the workflow and editing speed.
Cheers

If this is a one-off thing, mark the clip as a Favorite.

If you have a volume clips that you notice would be good for a particular purpose later, mark them with a keyword.

Then create a Smart Collection that contains clips with your keyword.

How do I store a compound clip for later use or another project?

I created a compound clip, then lifted it from story line and disabled it, its darkened (invisible doesnt play in the viewer),
however its space runs as black empty frames when I play over it.
I want to do 2 things:
I wanted the footage proceeding it to shift in left to fill that black void and play, as the compound clip is "hidden". Is this possible?
I also wanted to save that compound clip for use later in this project and possibly in another project, can I save it out as a separate clip set?

I think I got it, lift the compound clip from storyline by right clicking and choosing "lift from storyline",
drag the compound clip left or right out of its original position, select the grey slate where it used to be in the time line, and hit delete. the clips to the right now shift left to fill its void.
and the compound clip is automatically available in the event library folder its grouped clips originated from but now shown as a compound clip once you create that compound clip..

How To Annotate Clips For Later Use

All, long time user of Premiere Elements, but new to Premiere Pro....
I'm looking for an *easy* way to mark a clip (or preferably a point within a clip) as something I want to use later for an end-of-project montage.
One way seems to be to use the "insert marker" button in the timeline panel. Simple enough, but I don't see any way to later say "show me a list of any clip that has a marker in it".
I think I could click on each marker as I add it and enter some comment in the dialog box like "montage", and later find all those "montage" comments. But a) that's a few too many clicks and typing for my liking - too disruptive to my flow, and b) it's too dependent on me entering the exact word "montage" every time - any typo's or mistakenly entering "recap" or something instead, and the clip wouldn't show up.
Another way might be to check the "Good" box on the metadata(?) panel. But a) it only identifies a clip, not a point within a clip, b) I can't seem to find a way to later do a filter to bring up a list of every clip that's checked "Good", and c) I don't think I'd want to have the metadata panel open as part of my standard workflow, so every time I wanted to mark a clip, I'd have to switch the metadata panel, find the clip, and click the "X".
My perfect solution would be something like simply clicking the "insert marker" button on the timeline when I have something I want to use, then having a pre-defined filter (or something) that brought up a list of those marked clips (maybe even with an "in point" at the marked location!).
Thoughts? Seems like a fairly common workflow issue....

LOL! Sounds like you should try FCP X! Seriously, it's ability to automatically organize zillions of clips and sections of clips by **several** different keywords is far and away one of my favorite things about the program.
Barring that, however, I would suggest making subclips and naming them well. You will also want to setup a keyboard shortcut (there doesn't seem to be one by default). The menu item is under the "clip" menu. I know it seems like a lot of work but, with a keyboard shortcut set up, all you'd have to do is mark in and out points, hit the shortcut, a dialog box will popup prompting you for a name, and you're good to go for the next clip. Then make bins for each type of clip so you'd end up with a bin full clips names "montage_01", "montage_02" and so on.
I have found that taking the time, upfront, to organize your media **especially** if you have an awful lot of it, really saves a ton of time in the long run. Best of all, when the deadline is looming and you need to find a specific clip, it's right there where you put it.
