Looking for something that allows selective updating

I'd like to hand pick what to update in order to save time and bandwidth. Right now packer offers to update 35 packages, but I only care for 5 of these. The other packages can wait, let's say... until they are updated again...
Does anyone know of anything out there that allows you to do this without mannually typing the package names and install packages one by one ?

No you wouldn't. You just said in your first post that you wanted to selectively update packages. Make up your mind.
If I'd run into trouble that's what I'd do: update it all. What can go wrong if I only update inkscape, xpdf and the like.. Besides, I have a disk image ready if something goes wrong.
Anyway. So there's no such app. Thanks

  • Looking for something that converts various file formtats to TIFF

    Hi everyone,
    I am currently working on a project where I am expected to convert numerous files of various formats into 1 multipage pdf and 1 multipage tiff.
    I've been messing around a lot with iText (which i liked a lot because of how it was free) and I see how it can very nicely convert a multipage TIFF to a multipage PDF.
    Hence, I am looking for something that can convert files of various formats (i.e. doc, txt, jpg, pdf) to a multipage tiff.
    Thank you very much.

    Uh-huh. So what on earth would possess you to ask that question on a forum devoted to Java sound?
    I hope that a mod. might notice this thread and move it to a more appropriate forum.
    And since I am here, the Java forum for TIFFs would be JAI. Try looking through some threads there, for tips.

  • Looking for software that allows CMS integration with InDesign.

    Looking for catalog production people who have already found a solution to this problem.
    We have a content management system that serves as our data warehouse for our catalog and product information. This data includes information from Marketing, Accounting, and Engineering and is used with our on line catalog and data extracts for customers. Our goal is to extend the use of this system to include an interface to the printed catalog process.
    Immediate goal would be to provide keyed access by product key into InDesign for pricing and technical specifications. Design staff needs to have keyed access to additional catalog information used in the catalog sections, headings, and product descriptions including bullets and paragraph information.
    We are looking for software that can act as a "bridge" between InDesign and our CMS. We need a software company that can provide training and support for the InDesign users and documentation allowing IT to support new processes including the possible use of apple scripting and automator scripts.
    Our IT staff has the database skills to manage and change the CMS database as needed by this project including custom tables and views. Our CMS is available using a MySql server running on Lunix. This is a dynamic copy of our primary CMS from a DB2/400 server.
    We have looked at a variety of software packages, but I have found you learn so much more when you actually USE the software. I would like to avoid any more expensive dead ends.
    Thanks for any input.

  • Looking for router that allows 'isolating' game console

    My WRT54GL is starting to come to the end of it's life, and I'm trying to select it's successor.
    In a perfect world, I'm looking for a product that will allow me to drive my kid's XBOX through one channel, leaving another channel for the computers in the house.
    I realise that 'isolation' is not the right word for this, but does this exist?  In what product?  And what do you call this feature?
    Thanks -
      --Beric

    OK, a bit more research done and what I need is 'simultaneous dual-band'. Something like the E3000.
    So next question:  Let's say I don't assign separate SSID's to the individual bands.  Will both bands be available automagically?  Will individual systems grab the best band, i.e N's to the 5GHz and G's to the 2.4GHz?  Are will everything simply go to the 5GHz?
    And if my N-based laptop is on the 5GHz band, will it see the G-based printer on the 2.4Ghz band (assuming no separate SSID's)?
    Thanks again -

  • Looking for software that allows you to make "who wants to be a millionaire".  Must be able to put in your own questions and HAS to be for the Mac.  Help!

    I am a teacher who would love to create the game "who wants to be a millionaire" with my own questions.  I would use this for test reviews.  I can't not find something for the mac.  It is out there for the PC, but my class room is mac based.  I can't use anything that will allow me to run the mac in windows, either.  Anyone know of a software that will allow me to input my own questions?  Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

  • Just wondering if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist - can firefox automatically close the "print-preview" window after printing?

    I'm using the addon in my firefox toolbar to print preview website data then append to a pdf file. Sometimes I am distracted, then can't remember if I've gone through the process and printed/appended the page to the file. It would be helpful if there was a way that the print preview window would close after printing thereby confirming that the process has completed. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm running different versions of firefox on different computers. I'm aware of the upgrade procedures. Same issue in later versions as well.
    The add-on is called "Print Preview Button 0.5" by sindre-wimberger which I obtained through the "Search Mozilla Support"
    However, that's not really relevant - to bring this back to basics the same situation occurs if you do <File> <Print Preview> then print the document. The print preview screen remains until manually closed. Perhaps there is a setting in "about:config"? Does anyone know if this is so? There is an entry "print.whileinprintpreview" but not sure what setting does here. Suspect if set to "False" then you probably wouldn't be able to print from "Print Preview" screen.
    Thanks.

  • Looking for something similar to Slideshow Pro...

    I'm looking for something that my clients can upload their photos to a page on their website via some sort of admin interface such as Slideshow Pro had.  They have shut down their site.  They were Flash based, although you could still view the slideshows on any Apple device.
    I don't care if it looks like the slideshows that they created.  I'm just looking to have something of a lightbox, but I need the client to be able to upload their own, and change their own photos.
    I would like the admin interface to be online, so they don't have to upload an app to one computer.  I don't build my sites using Wordpress, so a Wordpress plugin is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I went ahead and purchased it anyway (about $80 US for the pro version which gives you online admin)!  Just seemed pretty easy.  No database setup even!
    I put a basic test page here: http://willowweb.ca/testPhotos.php 
    The Web admin is really simple.  Not as robust as Slideshow pro, but then again, I would take about an hour to show someone how to use it, and then a few months later, they would ask me to come back and show them again.  Doesn't look like I'll have that problem this time!
    It does show up on an Apple device, so it's definitely not Flash based. 
    Still trying to figure out the tools a bit, but doesn't look like a huge learning curve.  I will play around with it, and let you know whether I give it my thumbs up! 

  • Looking for app that will allow me to control my iphone from my desktop

    Looking for app that will allow me to control my iphone from my desktop.  I would like to be able to send text messages, etc from my computer instead of using my iphone.  I don't want to jailbreak my phone.  Does anyone know of app like this?
    Thank you,
    Scott

    Windows or Mac?  You can at least send iMessages from a Mac with Mountain Lion installed.
    There are apps that let you do the reverse (control the computer from the phone).  I don't know of any that let you go the other way.  It would be kind of cool if we could do this though.  But, I suppose it could open up a Pandora's box of security problems for the phone itself.  Just imagine somebody hacking into your phone remotely and using it without your permission....

  • Is apple tv the only item that can be connected to a tv for airplay to work?  Looking for something smaller for the office

    How big do you believe an ATV is?  They are tiny compared to most devices.
    The ATV is the only AirPlay receiver, short of an actual AV receiver with AirPlay support, but those are MUCH larger.

  • Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App

    Hi
    I have been waiting for the airport utility for iPad/iPhone to come as I frequently travel with just my iPad and Airport Express. However, I have been unable to configure it when away from home.
    So, Apple has released a utility but it appears to be the most important feature for being on the road, that is, the ability to switch connection sharing (so you can hook up to a hotel system).
    Is it that I can't find it or it doesn't allow you to do it. In the iPad app, I am looking for the ability to switch between bridge mode and the other two.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Tesserex, thanks for the comment . Can you point to where in the utility I cna figure it to
    Share a public IP address
    Distribute a range of IP addresses, or
    Be off in Bridge mode?
    Thanks,I can't work it out.
    Re: Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App
    created by Tesserax in AirPort - View the full discussion
    The AirPort Utility App that is available with iOS 5 does pretty much everything that the Mac or PC versions do including controlling both the NAT & DHCP services to allow you reconfigure an AirPort as a bridge.

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks).  It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch. 
    A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta.  I switched to iBank.  I used it for more than a year.  It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works".  I found ONE feature that I liked:  you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
    But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back.  I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view.  Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction).  No such help in iBank.  Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank.  I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
    If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either.  The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account.  (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25  yielded $2,250,000.)  Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
    Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank.  I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

  • [Solved] Windows Firewall rule that allows Windows Update

    Can anyone kindly give me a Windows Firewall rule that allows Windows Update? Assume I'm running MMC's "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" snap-in as Administrator. Note that a "solution" that takes down the outbound firewall is
    not acceptable.
    Thank You.
    ===== Solution =====
    Suppose that, as the default, you've set the outbound firewall to block (see
    To close the outbound firewall, below). In order for Windows Update to check whether an update is available and then to download the update files, you first need an outbound firewall
    allow-rule that allows the Windows Update service to pass through the outbound firewall.
    Prerequisite: Knowledge of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and its "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" plug-in.
    What you will do: You will use the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" MMC plug-in to create an outbound firewall rule that
    allows '%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe' (the generic service driver) to pass through the outbound firewall on behalf of 'wuauserv' (the name of the specific service that performs the update).
    Warning: If you don't know what I'm writing about, get help.
    Name: Allow Windows Update (...or any name you prefer - it doesn't matter)
    Group:
    Profile: Public
    Enabled: Yes
    Action: Allow
    Program: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe
    Local Address: Any
    Remote Address: Any
    Protocol: Any
    Local Port: Any
    Remote Port: Any
    Allowed Computers: Any
    Status: OK
    Service: wuauserv
    Rule Source: Local Setting
    Interface Type: All interface types
    Excepted Computers: None
    Description:
    To open the outbound firewall:
    More accurate wording would be
    Outbound connections are allowed unless explicitly blocked by a rule.
    If you look at the standard rules you will find no block-rules. That means that nothing is blocked, everything is allowed, and the outbound firewall is wide open.
    To close the outbound firewall:
    More accurate wording would be
    Outbound connections are blocked unless explicitly allowed by a rule.
    If you look at the standard rules you will find only allow-rules that have been crafted to allow the vital Windows connections to pass through the outbound firewall. To an informed observer it's obvious that the firewall engineers crafted these
    allow-rules so that users who closed the outbound firewall wouldn't have to write them. But the firewall engineers left out Windows Update.

    Hi mark,
    Thanks for sharing, it will help other users who have similar issue.

  • HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

    Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD player

    iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
    Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
    DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
    According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
    This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
    This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
    It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync.  See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

  • Sometimes get error "looking for something on MobileMe?" after publishing via ftp server

    I published a website I created on iWeb via an ftp server.  Sometimes it works, but sometimes I get the error "Looking for something on MobileMe?"  My web host says all my settings are correct, so the problem is likely to be in iWeb.  How can I fix this?

    I use FatCow as both my domain registrar and my web host, a similar service to GoDaddy.  The FatCow tech support said all my settings were correct.  Here's a pic of the iWeb Site Publishing Settings page:
    When I try "Test Connection," it succeeds.
    I originally published using MobileMe, then switched to ftp using FatCow.  The ftp publishing worked at first, then I started getting the error message intermittently, now get it all the time.  The FatCow tech thought that something is likely to be imbedded in the code that is taking it to MobileMe.
    Thanks again for your help!
