I was able to get it loaded. This was a great video. I love the way you explain stuff. Very professional.
I just downloaded LR4 for trial. I have CS5, and have been using CS for a while (CS2,3 and 5). I have a couple of questions for you:
1. I also have Picasa for organizing photos. Do you see the need to have both Picasa and LR?
2. What is the advantages of LR when you have CS? For example, I have Curve Plugins in CS5 that I would like to use in LR. I don't see a way to do that. So I end up having to do further editing in CS5. LR seems to add tasks to my workflow. Maybe I need to learn more. What are you thoughts?

  • Getting started with trial version of Adobe XI

    I downloaded the trial version of Adobe XI.  Once installed I attempted to convert a PDF document into a Word document by clicking on the "tools" as instructed in the tutorial.  I then chose convert to "Microsoft Work" and clicked on "convert".  A box then popped up asking me to purchase a year long subscription to be unlimited downloads.  I don't want to make that purchase and the pop up box asking that I purchase the subscription will not go away nor and when I click on "convert" again, it does nothing. 

    What do you mean by "Adobe XI"?
    You seem to be mixing up two entirely different ways to go from PDF to Word, because you have elements of both of them in your question.

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

    Hi,
    Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
    In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
    My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
    One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
    The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
    My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
    Thanks.

  • Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

    We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch. 
    Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). 
    I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
    More details below.

    and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
    I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
    Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

    The first error has nothing to do with Photoshop - that's some .NET application.
    The second error is most likely connected to a third party plugin or driver.
    And you're running Photoshop CC (14.x) instead of the current Photoshop CC 2014 (15.x).

    Signing up and getting started with HP Instant Ink
    Note: your printer must be connected to the Internet through a wireless connection.
    How does HP make sure you’ll always have ink? Your printer uses the Internet to let us know when to send more ink. Here’s how you can get all the ink you need, delivered to your door.
    Purchase an eligible printer.
    Enroll in a plan based on the number of pages you print.
    Ink, shipping, and cartridge recycling are included.
    No annual fee—Change or cancel your plan anytime.3
    We’ll mail special HP Instant Ink cartridges to you.
    Our cartridges have more ink than standard HP ink cartridges, so you’ll replace them less often.
    Billing and service start after you insert your first HP Instant Ink cartridge.
    Your printer will tell us when to send ink.
    Your service is not based on how many cartridges you use, so print as many high quality photos as you like.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When you enroll in an HP Instant Ink plan, you pay a monthly fee to print a defined number of pages per month. The plans are based on the number of pages that you print, not on how many ink cartridges you use. Your monthly fee pays for ink, shipping, and recycling. If you do not print all of your plan pages in a month, you can roll over up to the number of pages per month in your plan. If you print more pages, there is an additional charge. Ink is included — the plans are based on your usage so you pay for the pages you print, not the ink cartridges HP sends you. A printed page counts the same whether it is black and white, a color document, or a photo. Shipping is included.

  • Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

    We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
    The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
    But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
    SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
    Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Day

    Hi,
    >> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
    Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
    By the way, I think the article
    Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
    >> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
    Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
    you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
    Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
    to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

    how do i get the development option back ?? on adobe photoshop lightroom 5
    it just vanished and now comes up just with the photo the sides have gone grey and
    there are no options t edit

    Are you sure that your copy of lightroom 5 is activated and CC is running and logged in?  Adobe has set LR so that if you let your subscription expire (or deactivate or whatever) you will be able to view and manipulate your catalog, but won't be able to open Develop.  Sounds like you may have gotten hit by that.  Log out of CC, then log in, and then open LR and see if it's okay.
