Make LR work with database on a network drive

Although multiple users functionality would be great it is not what I mean with this. For starter it would be great to be able to have the database on a network drive so that several machines can use the same database (only one at a time).
I use my laptop most of the time but sometimes I want to work with my PC so having the database on a network drive would be great. As I already have all of my images on a network drive having the same drive letters on all machines is therefore not a problem.
I actually was able to do this with ACDSee. I could even have the cache on the network drive!

Ha! I was going to ask for this as well. Why does Lightroom even care whether the (Windows) drive letter happens to point to a local drive or to a remote drive? The underlying database software works with either.
Here's why I'd like this capability. I put important files like the LR database onto a remote drive so that I can then set that drive (or whatever folders I want on that drive) to be offline. There are a lot of benefits to this; some are: (1) it allows me to work with LR on my laptop when the laptop is not connected to my network and (2) I get two copies of the LR database automatically (one on the PC hosting the remote drive and one in the CSC folder on my laptop).
And as far as I can tell you cannot request a backup (or a restore for that matter) from the File menu. You have to wait until the time specified in the Preferences has elapsed before LR prompts you to do a backup. I'd much prefer to be able to do a backup on my own schedule, and outside of LR. And what do you do with the backup file(s) that LR creates when you need to do a restore? (I can't find a Restore command.)
Thanks.

How can I make it work with my iPad?

I bought a wireless Hp6500 all in one printer yesterday. It works with my Mac Pro laptop... Now what do I need to make it work with my iPad?

Is it a 6500 or a 6500A? If the former, it will not support AirPrint, if the latter it will.
It has to be connected to your network (wired or wireless, it does not matter), not just to a computer with USB.
Once connected to your network, enable web services from the front panel of the printer and let it check for updates.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network. It detects the network but is unable to communicate, even though until today it worked great for months. The network is Verizon FiOS Internet on an M1424WR router. PCs and iPad continue to work with the same network without any problem. Any ideas?

have you upgraded to the new ios5 software? if so that could be the issue and contact apple.

Coldfusion essential training, working with databases

I am currrently working through the videos coldfusion9 essential training, the current folder is working with databases, after following the tutorial very carefully on section 4.08 "Creating an application directory and home page"
It states making a new project & naming it " Photo Gallery" after going through the process, of setting up the project and copying and pasting the relevant files into the folder, there are now four folders in the project namely" home, images, Image source and styles.css"
The tutorial then tells you to click on the "home" file and inside there are default.htm files, this file opens fine in the browser and shows all the details and banner and color, the tutorial goes on to say right click the default.htm file and change it to index.cfm
after making this change however and loading up the page as a cfm file all it shows is the text of the page with no banner or color
can anybody help to throw some light on the problem thanks

At what point do you get this message?
Have a look at the Windows Service. Ensure the EM Agent is running. Your database and Listener may be running, but if the Agent is not running, you will not be able to see correct status.
Stop and start the Agent

HT1338 where is the update for aperture to make it work with the updated os x yosemite

The currently sold version of Aperture at the AppStore, Aperture 3.6 is compatible with Yosemite.
See the Release notes: Aperture 3.6 Release notes
If you are running any version of Aperture 3, you should be able to update to this version. Does the update not show for you?
The update has been shown automatically for those who had upgraded from Mavericks and been running Aperture 3.5.1. Other users, who skipped Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1 have reported problems to get the update to show and needed to contact the AppStore Support. The update did not show, if the users tried to update from an earlier version.

Can i make this work with a number specified in the constructor?

Hi everyone
I posted a couple of days ago and i have managed to advance a bit since then.
Here i have a class called "flower" and it draws a flower with two leaves and 12 petals using the classes "petal and "leaf".
However, ideally i would like to be able to make this work with a number of petals specified in the constructor, not just 12.
is this possible or do i need to rewrite the entire class?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class flower {
    private Shape circle;
    private Shape stem;
    public flower()   {
        circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(-25, -25, 50, 50);
        stem = new Line2D.Double(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -200.0);
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
    g2.setPaint(Color.green);
    g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5)); // Line width 8 pixels
    g2.draw(stem);
    // Add the petals
    petal P = new petal(Color.red);
    // Scale, translate and rotate the petal into place.
    AffineTransform orig = g2.getTransform();
    AffineTransform T = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, -25);
    for (int k = 0; k < 12; k++) {
      double angle = k*Math.PI/6.0;
      AffineTransform A = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, 1.0);
      A.preConcatenate(T);     // Scale, then rotate
      AffineTransform R = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(angle);
      A.preConcatenate(R);     // Scale, translate and then rotate
      g2.transform(A);
      P.paint(g);
      g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original transform
      g2.setPaint(Color.yellow);
      g2.fill(circle);
      leaf L = new leaf();
      AffineTransform B = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, 0.0);
      B.translate(340, 425);
      B.scale(1.0, 1.0);
      B.rotate (Math.PI/6);
      g2.setTransform(B);
      L.paint(g);
      g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original
      leaf L1 = new leaf();
      AffineTransform C = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(0.0, 0.0);
      C.translate(285, 430);
      C.scale(1.0, 1.0);
      C.rotate (Math.PI/-6);
      g2.setTransform(C);
      L1.paint(g);
      g2.setTransform(orig);     // Restore original
}I am tempted to make "flower into a class that extends "petal" would this make it easier for me to achieve my goal?
Any help would be great
Thanks Carl

Your NewFlower class extends petal. You NewFlower constructor calls super( color, petnum ), so the petal constructor is invoked. In the petal constructor, you ignore petNum. You do nothing else in the NewFlower constructor, so petNum is ignored there as well.
What makes you think that in this orgy of ignoring petNum, that any petNum variable will magically get set, or that your flower will now magically have the right number of petals?

How to make AEC work with external webcam?

Hi everyone.
What I'm trying to do is to make AEC work with external webcams. My target: flash in browser and desktop AIR app.
I have the following situations:
1. Laptop Lenovo S400, really not the best laptop, with MIC placed right above the speakers. But... AEC works excellent!
2. PC with Logitech 1080p webcam (which has stereo microphones) and external speakers. But... AEC doesn't work at all. It even doesn't try to reduce any speakers sound in microphone data.
3. The same laptop with connected Logitech camera and again - AEC doesn't work.
In each situation I use absolutaly the same environment(Win7, target player - 11.9, Flex 4.6.0 SDK), code, compiller, etc..
And I was unable to find any info for such situation.
Does anybody have experience with such problem? I will be really grateful for any help.
Here are parts of code:
// somwhere early...
_microphone = Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone();
// called before we attach microphone to NetStream
private function _setMicrophoneMode():void
            _microphone.setLoopBack(false);
            _microphone.framesPerPacket = 1;
            _microphone.setSilenceLevel(0, 2000);
            _microphone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
            _microphone.encodeQuality = 10;
            _microphone.gain = 50;
            _microphone.rate = 44;
            if (_useEchoSuppression)
            var options:MicrophoneEnhancedOptions = _microphone.enhancedOptions;
            options.mode = MicrophoneEnhancedMode.HALF_DUPLEX;// using this for external webcams
            options.echoPath = 128;
            options.nonLinearProcessing = true;
            _microphone.enhancedOptions = options;
            } else
                _microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(true);
                trace(_microphone);

I think that with the current state of the Adobe AIR Adobe FLash platforms, there is too much work to do to get echo cancellation to work on all platforms, and to get video to work as expected too. I think Adobe could solve many of these issues by implementing native WebRTC into the AIR platform, see this post here:

That is the way the iphone works.
You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.

OPA work with database repository

Does OPA work with database repository?

OPA does not provide direct database connectivity. Your application retrieves all necessary data, then passes it to OPA for performing auditable determinations and calculations.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus Wireless DOES NOT WORK with Mac Mavericks Based Network

Replaced my Brother system with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus yesterday. There are many positive features of the 8600 Plus that prompted me to purchase it...
Modular Design
Large legal sized Scanner
Standard/Legal Paper Printer
Copy
E Print Capability
High Yield / Affordable Toner Replacements
Unfortunately, I discovered the Wireless network capability is less than desirable. After hours of installing, reinstalling, work arounds, internet solution searches, it just will not work. If you are able to get the printer to work on your network (with router), the scanner will not be visible, vice versa, etc...etc...etc...
HOWEVER, I did discover this solution. If the unit is near your base computer, install it to your computer with a usb connection. That allows you to have scanning and printing from that unit. Then you can connect the unit through its ethernet connection to your router. From there all computers can print within your network. It's not the best way to connect a WIRELESS printer, but at least it works.
I'm not certain why HP and Apple can't find a solution, but I never found anything on the net that worked. The problem seems to stem from the new Mavericks update from Apple, but I'm really not sure. I wasted an entire day of productivity attempting to make it work. I'm posting this so you don't make the same mistake. If you happen to know a verified solution, then I would welcome the information. Best of luck!!!

It may be a mac driver issue. Try installing the bootcamp update for your version of vista from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
I'm not sure if this is supposed to work since I've never tried mac hardware at 5ghz on windows before...
