MacBookPro: HD formatted with same type computer - impossible to put OSX 10.5 on it. Any help???
Hi there,
I'm fully new with Mac. I'm aware of PC but Mac is of course a different story.
Mac 1 is the bad one. Mac 2 is fully functioning.
I did twice the hardware tests on Mac 1: both tests didn't mention any problem.
I formatted the HD from Mac 1 with Mac 2.
I switched both HD's. Mac 1 was perfectly working, Mac 2 mentioned an empty HD.
After I copied the original OSX 10.5 to HD 1 with Mac 2, I let read Mac 2 the contents of HD 1.
Everything fine. Put HD 1 in Mac 1, a map with a question sign appears... nothing else.
Is ther a way to let it work? What did or do I wrong?
Any help??????????????????
greatings, Bob.
OK, this is just a suggestion. You might want to wait and see if other froum members think this will work, try at your own risk.
If both Macbooks are really the same see if this works.
get Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC)
http://www.bombich.com/
or
SuperDuper

Which you will have to dowload onto a fully working Macbook and a HD with a working operating system (I will call this Mac A) before doing the following. Shut Down Mac A.
Be sure to carefully read what these programs do. They do erase things, so be careful!!!!!
Start up Mac A, but start up in firewire target disk mode by holding down the "T" when it restarts. You should see yellow/orange firewire symbols on Mac A screens. Hook it up via a FW cable to Mac B. Startup Mac B now, and hold down the "option" key when it restarts. Then select the hard drive in Mac A. Mac B should now boot up using the disk that is in Mac A. Now you need to clone the Mac A system to Mac B.
Use SuperDuper or CCC to "clone" Mac A to the HD in Mac B. Then go to system prefs, and select the drive in Mac B as the startup drive.
Shutdown. Disconnect Mac A from Mac B. Turn off Mac B using power button. Startup both macs, which should now be basically clones of each other.

Run through this list of fixes and see if there is anything wrong with your machine
by #10 you should be fixed to Software Update and get iTunes.

Getting arrays with same types
Hi,
I'm writing an application and at a certain point I need to be able to compare constraints of the same type to see if there are any conflicts.
At first you get an array with all kinds of constraints in it, not sorted and not knowing wich types are in there. I wrote a comparator to sort the array, which works. After sorting I count the different types there are. Now I would like to make a vector for each type and fill these vectors with the constraints, but I'm not sure how I can do this.
What I have so far is:
//first the array of preferred constraints is being examined,
//if there are conflicts: arbitrarily one of both
//preferred constraints is being eliminated
Arrays.sort(pref,new ConstraintTypeComparator());
//conflicts are only possible between constraints of the same
//type so after sorting, we get vectors of simillar constrainttypes
for(int i = 0; i < pref.length; i++){
//count how many different types there are in the array
int countTypes = 1;
for (int j = 0; j < pref.length - 1; j++){
if(! pref[j].getConstraintType().equals(
pref[j+1].getConstraintType ())) countTypes++;}
//make vectors with only constraints of the same type in them
//for each type there is
for (int k = 0; k < countTypes; k++){
//not sure how to do this
[\code]
Is there an easy way/method I can use to create (and fill) these vectors?
thanksVery funny, but doesn't help one bit...
You don't know in advance how many types there will be, so in your code indeed if you have more than three: panic(); not only you don't know how many types there will; you also don't know which types there will be. The type of a constraint is a string though, so you could get, save and compare them...
Isn't there a way to do something like:
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++){
Vector type+i+ = new Vector;
//blalba

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?
Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

HI to All,
there are two types of format one is Payment file and second is Bank Statement in File Format setup..
So what is the exact meaning of payment file or why we use this in SAP ?
Thanks & Regards
Manvendra Singh NiranjanHi Manvendra,
Payment file is the file you need to send to your bank. Each country may have different formats based on banks' requirements. If your banks support those files, the reconciliation with bank will become much easier.
Thanks,

Batch Rename - Two File Formats with Same Name
Hi everyone!
I'm having troubles using the batch rename function i Bridge CS5.
I've got several pictures that I've captured in both jpeg and raw. When importing the pics with windows photo import they get the same name. This means that I've got one JPG and one RAW file which contains the "same" picture, and have same name as shown below:
What I would like to do is to rename the pictures, but still have Bridge name the same pictures with the same name as shown below:
IMG_1268.CR2 -> Picture 2011 - 0001
IMG_1268.JPG -> Picture 2011 - 0001
IMG_1269.CR2 -> Picture 2011 - 0002
IMG_1269.JPG -> Picture 2011 - 0002
Is this even possible? And if possible, how?
Thanks in advance
MartinMost things are possible and so is this..
Make sure you do a test first by copying the files to a temp folder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First copy the script below and paste it into ExtendScript Toolkit (this gets installed with Photoshop)
#target bridge
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var a in sels){
var f = decodeURI(sels[a].spec.name);
var newName = "Picture 2011 - "+ zeroPad((f.match(/\d{4}/)[0]-1267).toString(),4)+ f.match(/\....$/);
sels[a].spec.rename(newName);
function zeroPad(n, s) {
n = n.toString();
while (n.length < s) n = '0' + n;
return n;
Now open Bridge and select the files you want to rename, then run the above script from ExtendScript Toolkit. -
There I go first mistake straight off. I was wondering how to fit my big long problem in. My fault I am sure but if anyone can help please.
Early 2008 Mac Pro Desk Top, 2 hard drives 1)snow leopard, 2)lion.
I have downloaded Mountain Lion usuing disk 1,selected no.2 as my destination, installed ok everything fine, set my startup as no.2 in preferences, switch off. Next day start up - nothing, my only way to get moving was physcally remove disk 2, and let snow leopard restart.
Reinstalled, everything fine, then same problem on restart next day, remove disk,and so on.
The mountain Lion installer remains in the snow leopard dock.
I know the problem is me, so if anyone is kind enough to be able to offer a solution it needs to be in easy speak (press button a, press button b) because I am not that savvy.
my best regards to all, and thank you.Where did you get Mountain Lion? Did you download the 4+ GB file from the App Store? If so, then I would try doing the following:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your second drive on which Lion is installed (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Install Mountain Lion
Double-click on the Mountain Lion Installer application in your Applications folder. Follow instructions to install Mountain Lion on your old Lion drive - Drive 2. When the installer finally finishes it will restart the computer automatically from Drive 2. At this point there is no need to change the Startup Disk unless you want to boot from your Snow Leopard drive.
You will startup to the Setup Assistant in which you will configure your own admin account. You can, if you want, omit that part and instead choose to migrate your Home folder and other data from the Snow Leopard drive. I would recommend you do that unless you wish to do it manually at a later time. In this case create your new admin account using the exact same username and password that you now use on your Snow Leopard system. -
I have itunes on my computer in my main user account. I want ot have the same itunes on the other user account on my computer - under the apple account info- it says that I already have 2 computers authorized - how do I find out which 2 they are talking about? the only button nearlby is one that says to 'deauthorize all' etc.... thanks,. I have a pc.
You can only deauthorize all your itunes computers once a year, so I would avoid clicking that at the moment. Log onto the 2nd user, and open itunes. Go to Store> Authorize This computer.
As an alternative, you could point the 2nd user itunes library to the primary itunes folder. So both users would use the same itunes folder. You can do this by holding shift, clicking itunes icon. There should be an option to browse for an existing library. Locate the main computers itunes folder. (Most likely under: C:\Users\*Account name*\Music where *Account name* would be your main user accounts name.
Good luck! -
I recently replaced the hard disk on my macbook pro. As I had lost my original system disks that came with my mac, I paid an authorised Apple Reseller to reinstall OX 10.6.8 and also they reinstalled the data from my Time Machine back up. However, I have noticed a lot of functions no longer work. I was told by Apple Reseller that they only installed system disk I (operating system), but not system disk II (programme disk), as they do not have that disk. I was advised to use Disk II from any macbook pro with an OS 10.6.8 or higher..... I tried that but it did not work as mac would not read that disk. Can anyone please help me solve this problem?

Rosetta is an Add-On that has to be selected during the install of OS X. It is not installed by default. IIRC during the initial install sequence you have to select Custom or Customize and then select Rosetta...
Or, it the OP's paid technician missed it the first time, he can mount the OS X install DVD on the desktop, open the Optional Installs folder, double click on the Optional Installs .mpkg, and step through the process until arriving at the "Installation Type." There, the OP can check off Rosetta, iPod Support, Qucktime, Printer Support, more fonts, and a bunch of Applications, including Address Book, iCal, iChat, iTunes, Mail, Dictionaries, Safari, and X11 for installation. Both those installs and whatever is on Disk 2 can be installed without starting from scratch.
And while having the original installer DVD's that came with the Mac is the best way to go, the OP can download the 10.6.8 combo updater and run that. Since it's an all purpose updater, it configures itself for the Mac it's run on so, in a sense, it's customization after the fact. If the combo updater is run before Disk 2 is available, it can be run again afterwards. Indeed, I've found that the combo updater can fix problems which normally would call for a reinstallation of the OS; not always but sometimes. -
I can not connect to iTunes from ipad
This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
