Mulder- one more question for ya

Doing the repair for Safari-will it affect ANYTHING else on the Mac? I fear that doing a reinstall may fudge up stuff on the wifes login. I lose any of that stuff and I'll need a casket.

Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • One more question about "snap to" points in audio objects

    sorry, one more question people.............. is there a way to set a "snap to" point in an audio region? Can I have logic set a point, or an "anchor" within an audio region that would coincide with the cursor. Once I get the cursor to a bar or a beat, is there a command that would allow a "snap to" point to be created in an audio object? That way I could clean up any "noise" or "chatter" at the beginning of an audio bounce or any audio object, and still have no problem pasting it all over my arrangement. I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but can't find it in the manual..
    thanks again!!!

    The anchor point in an audio region can be moved to wherever you want it to be. Let's say you recorded a loud piano bass note and afterwards you trimmed the file so that the attack of this sound happens right at the beginning of the audio region. Your anchor point will now coincide with the begnning of that region. This means that you can place that audio at, say, bar 37 and it's guaranteed that the attack of that sound will play exactly at bar 37. In this case anchor point = position of audio region in the Arrange Window.
    Even though you haven't played a MIDI note into the song in order to place this audio region, an "event" is generated for this sound which can be viewed in a special version of the Event Editor which shows the position of all audio regions in the arrangement. Access this by simply clicking on a blank area of the Arrange window and then opening the Event Editor.
    So let's say this sound is positioned at bar 37. Open the Event Editor (as described above) and you'll see an event at 37 1 1 1 and the name of that audio region to its right. In this case, the event's position = the start of the sound file = the position of the anchor within that sound file. If you changed the position of that event to 38, or 109, or 3, that audio region will be "triggered" at any of those positions. That sound will always "attack" on a downbeat.
    Now let's say you reversed that pinao note in order to create a dramatic swell into a section of your song. (Open the sample editor and use the Reverse function). At this point, the anchor point is still positioned at the beginning of the file! Play back the sequence (from our bar 37) and the audio will play back from bar 37, only backwards this time; the peak of that piano note will be at some point later than 37.
    So let's say you wanted to position this sound so that it hits exactly on the downbeat of bar 37. How do you do it? Well, you could always slide the audio file in the Arrange Window and try to line up the attack of the audio waveform with the downbeat of bar 37, but there's an easier way...
    Open the sample editor and move the anchor point to the end of the file, coinciding with the peak of the waveform (the piano's attack is now at the end because we reversed the audio). Next, close the sample editor window, click on a blank area in the Arrange Window and open the Event Editor. You'll see that this audio region is still positioned at bar 37, but the actual beginning of the sound file now starts before bar 37. Now when you play back, Logic will start playing that sound file before bar 37, but the audio's peak will be lined up at bar 37.

  • One more question.

    Hey again. I am probably going to go get my iMactoday or tomorrow. But I have one more question. I am aware that Macs are pretty much prone to viruses. But!!! When I download a version of Windows on Bootcamp, will I still have the amazing security, or will it be viruses like owning a PC? Thank you very much!

    HI,
    *"I am aware that Macs are pretty much prone to viruses."*
    Just the opposite. Windows users are the one's vulnerable to a virus.
    You will need anti virus software on the Windows partition.

  • One more question about upgrading HD

    EVeryone was really helpful last time, I have one final question:
    Does the name matter for the HD?
    I have bought my HD, used SuperDuper and am actually already working off the new HD via Firewire.
    Does it matter what I NAME the new Drive? When I used Super Duper I called it "New Startup". The current HD is called "Macintosh HD". Is this a problem?
    Thanks guys!

    @Niel: How about localized chars (ä, ß, î, etc.) and such ones that may have a special technical meaning (like /, *, -) ?

  • More questions for David

    1. Auto close.
    I put in the code you suggested, and, after a hell of a lot
    of messing around it
    came good, and now works. I don't know why I had so much
    trouble, or why it
    suddenly came good (suspect mismatched braces or types of
    quote, but thank you.
    Now I've got to put up a Thank you message, wait a second or
    two, and then close
    the box.
    2. IE error box
    You wrote:
    >No, the warning messages won't be displayed if the IE
    error box pops up.
    >However, if you enter a series of spaces in the name
    field, as described

    more
    As I read step 14, it is just one step in testing along the
    way. It doesn't
    seem to have any relevance to permanently disabling the IE
    error box?
    3. Text box width. As I only intend to use one feedback form,
    I removed your
    CSS file specifying the form dimensions, etc. According to
    everything I can
    find, you can specify the length of a text box in either
    characters or pixels.
    I currently have:
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" maxlength="30"
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" width="600px"
    maxlength="50"
    Dreamweaver shows a quite small name box, and a much longer
    e-mail box. However
    they are both 20 characters long on the actual form.
    Maxlength works, but the
    box length does not seem to be affected by changes to the
    specified values.
    4. Text font style in text input box.
    I would have thought that the bodystyle text would be used
    for the form inputs,
    but it isn't, so where is it defined?
    5. Form prettification
    Can you, for example, put a table inside the form, and then
    put the name, etc,
    into different cells?
    Thank you for all your help.

    I'm quite willing to provide assistance with problems arising

    Yes, it's simply a method of testing.
    > <input type="text" name="email" id="email"
    width="600px" maxlength="50"
    The <input> tag does not have a width attribute. Its
    width is controlled
    by the size attribute. In Dreamweaver, this is set by
    entering a value
    into the Char width field. For most web pages, the maximum
    should be no
    more than about 60.
    > I would have thought that the bodystyle text would be

    Create a CSS class and apply it to the text fields.

    Yes.
    Although these questions have arisen from working through my
    book, most
    of them are general HTML/CSS/web design issues that would be
    more
    appropriately addressed to the forum in general. I try to
    give a high
    level of support to my books, but I hope you understand that
    my time
    (and knowledge) are not unlimited.

  • Multiple Reports In One Region - Question For Denes Kubicek

    Denes,
    I looked at what you've done on your demo app 31517, Page 152
    (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:152), in which you place several reports in the same region. It is nicely done and a great example of something I
    need to do at my work place.
    I have two questions.
    1) In your explanation link (takes me to your blog) you say you made changes to a copy of the Report Template and placed this copy into a copy of the Standard Page Template. However, I see that your reports are set to "No Template".
    I've probably missed something here, but don't know what.
    2) A more general question ... I'm intrigued in how you get tab item in, say, your Section 4 Tab Set (or any of the other Tab Sets) to "Stand Out" in bold letters
    when clicked on. How are you doing this?
    Thanks very much for your help. Yours is one of the great sites to learn from.
    Elie

    Apex v4. has parent and child regions (subregions) where child regions display inside the parent. If you make the child regions with no template, they will probably appear as if it's just two reports in one region.
    Problem is, they display one above the other, not side by side. But there's been a recent thread on working around this just in the past few days on this forum.

  • I have an airport extreme for my main internet connection, an express to listen to music on my home theatre, another express to extend the network upstairs, and one more express for my wireless printer. whats the best way to setup the express stations?

    So basically I would like to know if its best to have them setup on "join a wireless network" or "extend a wireless network"
    Obviously the one I use to extend the network is setup that way, the other 2 are set on "join a network"
    is this the optimal configuration? or should I have them all on "extend a wireless network" ?

    There is really no "best" setting here for the AirPort Express devices. If you need more wireless coverage in the area where an Express is located, then it makes sense to configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network.
    If you already have good coverage in an area where an Express is located, then the "join" configuration makes sense.
    I've yet to meet the first user who felt that he/she had too much wireless signal coverage in their home, but you never know.

  • Macbook Pro stuck at loading screen, one more question

    I recently posted on the discussions forums about my MCP problem. Essentially, after a freeze I turned it off via the power button and then it does not turn on, stucking at the loading screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel.
    I know that this is a widely known issue, and common solutions are to reset pram and try turning it on with through the install disk. I tried everything, but to no avail. Although I could turn it on through the install disk and run the Disk Utility program, it said that everything appears to be OK. So I was wondering if it is a hardware problem and I must get it to the apple store (which is a problem for me) and consult one of the genius members, or is reinstalling everything through the original disk might solve the problem as well?
    When I turned it on through the disk, it had no problems booting. If I back all my data up, and then make a reinstall from scratch through the disk, would it solve the freezing problem?
    I appreciate your help.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Reinstall OS X.  This will not erase your hard drive.
    Given that this is widely known then before posting your question you should have searched the forums to find previously posted solutions.

  • One more solution for Silent Monitoring Windows 7 64-Bit - ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing.

    Hi,
    we are using UCCX 8.5 SU3.
    After replacing the actual agent workstations with Windows 7 64-bit we had to face problems with the silent monitoring. (no sound at all and in the CSD the usual error popup "Silent Monitor-Session failed...").
    In the CAD logfile I found the errorcode. "ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing. Please reconfigure the installation."
    After investigating the logfiles, starting postinstall.exe a hundred times and reading the Configuring and Troubleshooting VoIP Monitoring Guide.
    I just learnt about the wonderful tool nicq.exe.
    And so i found out that the driver spcd.sys wasn't installed.
    Check in the registry for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SPCD"
    It seems to me that the "Cisco Supervisor Desktop.msi" never installs the driver one a Windows 7 64-bit.
    After starting the NICQ.EXE as administrator the driver is being installed.
    Test 1: Check Driver Status
    Driver not installed. Attempting to install it...
    Driver has now been successfully installed.
    SPCD Driver service is not running. Attempting to start it...
    SPCD Driver service is now running.
    Test 1: SUCCESS
    And after that the silent monitoring works again like a charm.
    Maybe that info help someone.
    kind regards, sebastian

    Excellent information, this has been driving me crazy for a while now.  Once i saw this info I was able to get it resolved rather quickly.
    +5 for you, (I tried to click it above but it would not let me.)

  • 2 more questions for IWEB

    Hi Everyone,
    I have published my site and it's working fine.
    It was so easy!
    Now...as you know the address begins with http://web.mac.com.
    Is there any way to change that so it starts with my name instead?
    I know I can do that if I get hosting soemwhere else...and that I have already.
    I am hoping to switch my hosting to Mac so I can mange my site better.
    question number 2:
    How can I view the HTML code generated by the templetes created in Iweb?
    I was thinking of using the code with another hosting service to see if the results were the same.
    Thanks so much in advanced.

    All you have to do is to register your own domain name (which I think you already have if you have hosting somewhere else)....and then set up a feature called "Domain Forwarding" to point to the .Mac hosted iWEb URL.
    question number 2:
    How can I view the HTML code generated by the

    I was thinking of using the code with another hosting
    service to see if the results were the same.
    If you want to put your iWeb pages onto another server, just do a "Publish to Folder" in iWeb and select a folder on your desktop somewhere. iWeb will then put all the HTML files required for your site in that folder. You can examine the files there or you can upload the files to your server to see the results online.
    The pages should look identical no matter if you are on .Mac or another 3rd party server. The only difference will be in all the .Mac only features like the slideshow, counters, search, comments, etc. These will not function on a 3rd party non-.Mac server

  • FCP crossgrade from educational version one more question

    I just recieved my new MacBook Pro! I see that I need to upgrade my Educational version of FCP 4.5 HD to 5.1 along with the whole acedemic studio in oder to use it/ them on my new intel based computer. I also see that I should be able to upgrade/ cross grade from my Educational version. On the PDF instructions for the upgrade they list a number after Final Cut Pro Academic HD (M9153LL/B). My question is what does that number refer to, do I need that number printed on my install disk in order to upgrade? I have a different number printed on my install disc.
    Mike

    The number they're referring to is the retail part number for the software. As far as I know, its printed on the box the software was packaged in - probably also on your original invoice.

  • 2.0Ghz Core Duo MBP: Is it Leapord Ready? And one more question too.

    Well, just as I said in the subject, I've got a year old MBP, and was really curious as to whether it can weather (pun intended?) Leopard. And what about 64-bit applications?
    My other question is that I was once told that inorder to get the full functionality of the Core Duo processor, you had to have matching sticks of RAM installed, ie 2x512mb or 2x1GB. Is this true? I'm thinking that it's probably worth spending the $50 to just get another 1GB stick, but I just can't seem to find the answer to this question.
    Thanks!

    Your MBP will run Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
    As for 64-bit applications, you will find that most application developers will release them as a single version so it will automatically use the rght binaries for your MBP. There will be the odd application that will be 64-bit only however those will be very specialised and not for general use.
    For maximum performance the SODIMMs should be matched however the difference you will actually get will be minimal. Realistically you should have 2GB (2 x 1GB) installed anyway to get the most out of your MBP.
