Maintaing numerous files in portal--methods for doing so

Hi,
We're looking to store about 100 reports (items) in the portal. Many of these reports are updated frequently and doing this through the portal is time-consuming. Any suggestions on other ways to frequently update multiple files?
Many thanks,
Lisa

You might get some better ideas by posting your question in the Content Areas forum.
However, you might want to pursue the following options ... if using version 3.0.9, look into using the Content Area APIs.
If using version 9.0.2, you could use the Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) capabilities to manage content using a DAV client, like web folders.

Seperate volume (or another method) for doing and testing a website in

Hello,
I'm making a web site and want to test it on my computer. Because some of the urls are absolute: "/" for example the links aren't working. What can I do to not change these links but have the site browsable on my computer? Some kind of imitation volume possibly? Or something else. What's best? How can I do it?
Thanks,
John.

Yes I think you've understood me. I've got a collection of various html pages that have links like /images/picture.png and when these collection of files go on a web server an images folder will be in its home directory therefore /images/picture.png will access correctly, but in a folder on my desktop for example an html link of /images/picture.png does not access picture.png in the images folder in the folder on my desktop, and I was wondering if there was a way to get html links in their present form to work while on my computer.
Thanks very much for your suggested sollution. It doesn't make full sense to me, but not to worry -- I've decided it's not worth it. Not solving this is something I can live with. I thought there might be a fairly simple solution, but if not, no serious problem.
Thanks,
John.

What is the best method for saving files off of the hard drive?

I would like to save music files and photos somewhere other than my hard drive (eg. CDs, DVDs, zip disks). What is the best method for doing this?

It rather depends on how paranoid you are
External hard drives protect you from hard disk trouble on your machine.
Optical media (CD's, DVD's) protect you from trouble with magnetic disks - such as external hard drives and the HD in your machine. Optical disks are thought to be more reliable that magnetic disks for long term storage.
Off site back-ups will protect you from fire or theft at your home or office.
How paranoid are you? Personally everything is backed up across three diferent external HD's. And maybe twice a year I burn a copy of my photos onto DVDs and they go to a relative's house across town.

What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?

I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?). I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?

Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
My Routine
My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

Best Method for transferring projects back and fourth

Hello. I will soon be purchasing an iMac for home use and would like to get some advice on project transfer. I will be doing a lot of video editing back and fourth between the office and home. What is the best method for doing this? Where can i locate the files to make sure that I have everything and wont be missing anything when I bring it home, etc. Thanks for any advice!
Brandon

Use a (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD to keep your media, events and projects on.
You can then take the drive to work with you and back home. Use FCP X to transfer (or create) the event and projects on this drive and both macs will recognise it.
The drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled is not important for video drives).

Best method for collecting low frequency data

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to collect relatively low frequency data (about 1 Hz). I know there are a few different ways to do so in labview such as the DAQ assistant or making DAQ mx and making your own virtual channel. Also there are an abundence of different settings to choose from. I'm using an NI 9215 DAQ card and am collecting voltages. I would be interested to here any opinions on a method for doing so and maybe the settings that they would use.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm just using the DAQ assistant but I'm really not sure if that's what I want to be using. I feel like there is a better way.
Thank you all!

winterfresh11 wrote:
Is this different from triggering? Because this particular DAQ card can't be triggered.
There is a big difference between triggering and sample clock. The trigger tells the DAQ to start acquiring data. The sample clock tells the DAQ when to take a sample. You trigger once per acquisition. The sample clock just keeps on going until the acquisition is complete (either aborted or desired number of samples is acquired).
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Best method for plotting data array?

I am reading data from a Delta Motion controller and writing that data to an array in my vb.NET program. The data is not time stamped but I know what the sampling interval is (0.001s). I want to take that data and plot it on my Waveform Graph. What is the best method for doing this? I'm sure this is simple, but I'm new to MS and LV.
Private Sub btnRampUpA_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnRampUpA.Click
Dim Axis0ActualPrsData() As Single = New Single(4096) {} 'Create array for data from the RMC controller to be read into
Dim Axis0Actual() As AnalogWaveform(Of Single)
If RMC.IsConnected(PingType.Ping) = True Then 'Check to make sure comms to RMC is good before trying to read data from it
Try
RMC.ReadFFile(FileNumber150.fn150Plot0StaticUA0, 112, Axis0ActualPrsData, 0, 4095) 'read the plot data where sample period = 0.001
Catch ex As ReadWriteFailedException
MessageBox.Show("Unable to read plot data from the RMC. " & ex.Message)
End Try
End If
End Sub
Thank you

PlotYAppend appears to be the answer according to the white page, although I don't have it working as of yet. Can someone confirm?

An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OS is Windows 7.

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Hello TJK,
FB012 Session 1 : Special character for 'empty field' is /
This is the special function in LSMW, for empty field system will put / sign automatically, so you need not to worry about that.
FB007 Session 1 session name ZPROJ was opened It is opening session ZPROJ which is your project name/object name.
FB109 Trans. 1 : Transaction xd01 is not supported
Check out your field mapping and conversion rule for object.
FB013 ....Editing was terminated
It is not finding proper field mapping rule / file inputs so the sytem terminates the LSMW object.
Check your field mapping and conversion rule, check your source fields, save the file in tab delimited format.
Hope this helps.

When bouncing- what's best method for smallest file size/highest quality?

I am in the process of embedding 3 mp3's into a PDF to submit as a portfolio. The PDF also has text, and two scores included, and with the 3 embedded mp3's it can't be more than 10mb.
So my question is: When bouncing a project out of Logic, what is the best method for getting the smallest file size, but retaining the best audio quality? And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's. I basically need them to be about 3 mb each. Two of the recordings sound OK at that size, but they are just MIDI(one project is piano and string quartet, the other is just piano- all software instruments. The recording that combines MIDI and Audio and has more tracks (three audio tracks and 10 Midi/software instrument tracks)and sounds completely horrible if I get it under 5 mb as an mp3. The problem is that I need all three to equal around 9mb, but still sound good enough to submit as a portfolio for consideration into a Master's program.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Please be detailed in your response, because I am new to logic and I really need the step by step.
Thank you...

The highest bitrate that falls within your limits. You'll have to calculate how big your MP3's can be, then choose the bitrate that keeps the size within your limit. The formula is simple: bitrate is the number of kilobits per second, so a 46 second stereo file at 96 kbps would be 96 x 46 = 4416 kbits / 8* = 552 kBytes or 0.552 MB. (*8 bits = 1 Byte)
So if you know the length of your tracks you can calculate what bitrate you need to keep it within 10 MB total.
I consider 128 kbps the lowest bearable bitrate for popsongs and other modern drumkit based music. Deterioration of sound quality is often directly related to the quality of the initial mix and the type of instruments used in it. Piano(-like) tones tend to sound watery pretty quickly at lower bitrates, as do crash and ride cymbals. But don't take my word for it, try it out.
And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
You can only ZIP the whole thing after that, but that is just for transport. You'll have to unzip it again to use it. And no, you cannot compress an MP3 any further and still play it.
I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's.
That is silly, you could have done that in Logic, which has one of the best MP3 encoders built in. And how good encoders are will especially come out at bitrates around or below 128, which you might be looking at.
I basically need them to be about 3 mb each.
So, one more scrap of info we need here: how long are those three pieces, exactly? I'll calculate the bitrate for you - but please bounce 'm directly out of Logic as MP3's. They will very probably sound better than your WAV-conversions made with Switch.

Length of the piece? And does the .Wav bounce you have sound OK?

I just downloaded a DVD image from my university's MSDN Academic Alliance program, named "Microsoft
Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 Debug/Checked Build 64-bit (English)", which I wanted to use to install over an existing 32-bit version. I thought the install screen was giving this weird unskippable error described in the OP before I even entered
a key because the 32-bit key I had used on the HDD was somehow interpreted to be used in an upgrade, but no. Even after I wiped the hard drive, this error persisted.
Guess I'll go Google some more on how to install my legit copy of Windows, because this self-serving shit sure isn't helping.

Screen capturing method for InDesign files

Does anyone know the best method for taking screen captures for an InDesign file. I've tried a number of ways but am not please with the resolution I'm getting. The way I've done it thus far is capture the screen (with Print Screen), then crop off what I don't need in Photoshop. Then I save it as a .GIF and place it into InDesign. The .GIF ends up becoming twice the size of what it was as a .psd and the resolution isn't there. Do I need to use Snag It instead of what I'm doing? Would that help any?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robyn

A while back I needed a good OCR scanning program so I bought ABBYY Reader. With this program they included a program called ABBYY Screenshot reader. I believe you can buy this as a standalone program if you do not need the OCR reader.
The screenshot capture can be used to capture any portion of a screen. It sits on top of whatever page you have open and you just use the tool and draw a frame around anything you wish to capture. Then you can choose several options on what format you want to sve it as. Like .pdf, .jpg, .tiff, .doc, .xls and several more. If you have the OCR program you can also save it as an editable screenshot. The OCR in ABBYY reader is probably one of the best in the world if not THE best.
I believe you can get a free trial to see how it works and also get lower pricing on specific modules depending on what you need.

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

How to create a method for reading a file

i tried to make it as static method for reading a file and
then to return string
is this code correct?
          public static String fileMaterial(String fileName)
               fileReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
               info = fileReader.readLine();
               while(school != null)     {
                    return info;
                    info = fileReader.readLine();

I created a class you might want to look at. I come from a world of C and love fgets() and other FILE stream functions. I created a class that uses the Java I/O buts to the calling application behaves like fgets and such. The block of code where I do the calling in the calling program even looks like C. In my class I capture almost all errors and set error buffers to the errors. The calling program looks at the return to see if it succedded or errored.
BuffIO new = BuffIO.fopen("fiilename", "r");
String s;
if((s = new.fgets()) == null)
System.err.println("error reading file: " + new.ferror());
That would be waht the calling program does
