Nead some advice for using DDE icons

Hello everyone,
1°)I am using DDE in my programm. I need to get and send many information to the instrument I am communicationg with. I would like to know if have to use the DDE start,check, or poke icons for each piece of info I want to get? Because that takes a lot of space in my prorgam. Is there any other way?
2°) I am also looking for some DDE application notes. Don't seem to able to find any on the NI web site...any idea?
Any help would be great,
regards,
David

Actually, the best place for info on the DDE VIs is Microsoft's website. The functions within LV are apparently very simple wrappers around the Windows function calls so you follow the basic procedural flow in MS's docs and it should work.
Typically you have to open a session specifying a "service" and "topic", you can then "request" (read) or "poke" (write) "items".
And yes, you typically have to read or write one value at a time. It all depends on the "items" that the DDE service you're accessing implements.

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
Is there a sure way of doing it?
I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files. Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well.
The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.

Advice for using Acrobat/PDF to preserve 110-year-old book

I am a volunteer on a project for our historical society. The only known copy of a rare book from the early 1890's was found containing valuable historical and genealogical data (10,000 names which we indexed) plus woodcut portrait images. It will be an extremely important and popular resource if we can get it into a universal format such as PDF. I really need EXPERT advice.
The book itself is deteriorating, and literally crumbling. Each page was scanned (and can't be re-scanned due to its fragility) and the resulting tiff images were repaired to replace the missing pieces using the Paint program, a painstaking process taking hours per page. (About 200 kb each)
We have been trying to combine the 256 full-page tiff images by pasting them into MSWord documents containing 20 of the page images each, and then making PDFs of each 20-page document.
The tools we have available are: Acrobat 4.0 on my home computer and Acrobat Standard 6.0 on my work computer, Word 2003 and Word 2000, Paint, Microsoft Picture Editor and Microsoft Picture Manager.
I want to be sure the many hundreds of hours of work that has gone into this so far will not be lost for the future. What can I do to ensure a file that can be read on-screen, can be printed for people asking for copies, and will be readable into the future? I see that 8.0 is now the standard. Am I risking that no one will be able to open these in the future using 4.0 or 6.0?
The PDF documents made with the 4.0 Acrobat have the nicest, clearest print images while the 6.0 appear smeary in print but OK on screen. We have tried all types of different settings for Acrobat 6.0 yet the results have all been the same - nothing we do seems to change the appearance but the file size increases.
Can someone who really knows the workings of these programs please give me some advice on what settings to use to optimize the results and preserve our work for the future? If you or someone you know can talk an amateur thru this, it would be a great service. Thanks in advance!

Word might be introducing it's own compression into the workflow (blurring
the image, data loss), and it does not store this type of data efficiently.
Instead of using Word, I would recommend using Irfanview (freeware) to
combine the 256 TIFF files into a single multi-page TIFF file
(View/Multi-page images/Create Multi-page TIFF...). Use the LZW compression
option (no data loss) in Irfanview when combining to keep the file size down
(that's if there are any color or grayscale images, otherwise use CCITT Fax
4 if they are all monochrome).
You can then open and print the multi-page TIFF from Irfanview to Acrobat to
get a complete PDF file. You can experiment with different compression
settings when printing the TIFF to PDF. You can disable image compression
and downsampling when creating the PDF to preserve image quality, but you
will end up with a pretty large file (will people be downloading it from a
web site?). If the images are grayscale or color then try JPEG medium
compression with 200 dpi downsampling as a starting point and see how that
looks. To save time when testing compression settings, just print one
typical page from the project. Then you will know what settings to use when
printing the entire 256 page file to PDF.
Also the multi-page TIFF, like a single page one, would be a pretty good
option as an archive format (and all the pages will be in order in a single
file).

Advice for using the iCloud Photo Library

iCloud Photo Library!
I've been waiting for this feature to arrive since June when it was rolled out during the WWDC.
Now that's here can anyone share some advice on the best possible way to go about using it?
I have 9,239 pictures in 1,196 events in my iPhoto Library. (Tons & Tons of time on editing, geo-tagging, naming faces, Smart Folders, etc.)
I would like to push them up to iCloud Photo Library. I also have 95 home videos (stored in iTunes) that I would like to push up their as well.
However it doesn't appear that I can do that on either of my Macs until 2015'.
I see where I can now do that with iOS 8.1 with an iOS device.
What advice can anyone give me as far what they think I should do?
Should I try to wipe out all data off one of my iOS devices, then load pictures on it, turn on iCloud Photo Library within settings, let it upload, then turn it back off so I can take the videos a few at a time (turning the feature on and then back off) until I get everything uploaded?
Should I wait until the Mac version is available next year?
Or is there any other way??

If you're running Yosemite, wait for the Photos app to be introduced next year. While specifics haven't been announced, I believe it sill provide a way to migrate your iPhoto library to iCloud Photo Library.

Some advice for newbie backup-ers?

Hello, I've just come across a few dollars to spend on a drive to backup my macbook pro. I am fairly new at this so would appreciate some advice.
I considered the 1T Time Capsule but looked at some reviews and too many people would not reccommend due to it failing after a year. Plus I think I could probably get a better Seagate drive for less money.
First question, can I still use time machine with a Seagate external hard drive? Or could I somehow use migration assistant with it - to save my hard drive as is on my external?
I've also read a little about cloning and downloaded carbon copy cloner to do this but am not sure how it works. Would I just save a clone on my external and then copy it over to my mac in the event I lost my data? Does this take a lot of time? Would that be quicker than time capsule?
Ohh so many questions I know. Its just all so overwhelming and I want to make the right choice. Basically Im after non-complicated, easy, one-click approaches to backing up - similar to how easy migration assistant is. But it would also be good to have the option of manually transporting important documents like assignments to a backup drive. Thanks for reading!

consider a [refurbished|http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC343LL/A?mco=MTY5MTQ5Njc] unit.

yes, if the drive is properly formatted. check out [this_|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/2.html] user tip.

MA is for migrating data from one Mac to another.
I've also read a little about cloning and downloaded carbon copy cloner to do this but am not sure how it works. Would I just save a clone on my external and then copy it over to my mac in the event I lost my data?
you would clone your cloned system from the external back to your internal HD, yes.
Does this take a lot of time?
depends on how much data you're cloning. via a firewire 800 connection, cloning 60 GB takes about an hour (YMMV).
Would that be quicker than time capsule?
again, depends on how much data to backup. if you're using an ethernet connection instead of wireless, it will be faster. the initial backup will take rather long, but subsequent backups are incremental and take much less time.
you might find the following enlightening: [_*Time Machine vs. Clones and Archives*|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/Clones.html]
Basically Im after non-complicated, easy, one-click approaches to backing up
IMHO, that would be time machine.

Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

Rules/Advice for use of FCE/iMovie

Reading through many posts seems I find some general rules of thumb not found elsewhere. Thanks in advance for all comments.
For serious video editing work and creation an external firewire HDD is needed, mainly to avoid dropped frames in either FCE or iMovie (iM). The new 20" iMac and external HDD (with 2 firewire connections, for the input device (DV camcorder or DV/SVHS deck) and to the iMac) should be able to run either FCE/iM.
I just did a 45 min project in iM with no noted dropped frames but likely would in much longer projects if I don't get the external drive?
Audio bit rate. Advice I read for iM is that without 16 bit audio the audio gets out of sync in long projects--does FCE also need 16 instead of 12? Not knowing this need, I've recorded a number of projects (with a DV deck and a DV camcorder) in 12--can I capture to the iMac/external HDD in 16 if I'm playing from a source tape that's 12?
Chapter Markers. Seems there are "Rules for Chapter Markers" that I won't repeat here but suspect they apply to both FCE/iM when used with iDVD. Do those rules apply when you use DVDStudio instead of iDVD? One rule I haven't seen yet is that one should likely not use the apply chapter markers option in iDVD as it could apply a marker that violates the "rules" and cause strange results in the DVD when played, right?
Any other rules or concerns I've missed--perhaps always max out on RAM even if its rather costly? What other basic tips or secrets should I know for editing with these products?

I'll just cover a couple of your points:
Hard drvies: Internal HDs are actually a better choice, overall, than external ones .... if you have the option to have a separate HD for your Scratch Disc. You should not be storing your meids (your video) on the same disc where FCE lives, in other words, your system disc. Also, space is important; you should never let your scratch disc (your media disc) get too full. I think the reccomendation is something like you should always have 25% of that disc free. So, if you can do that with an internal, go ahead; if not, an external is your only option
RAM: More RAM is good; if you can, I would go up to at least a Gig but this would be more for other apps or running multiple apps at the same time. I ran my G5 on 512mb RAM for a year with few probs (BTW, I'm a pro wedding editor) FCE performance is more determined by Processor speed than RAM anyway
Dropped frames: Lotsa reasons for this but some ways to avoid it is to not have a lot of sequences open at once, lowering your RT settings, not running programs in the background, etc
Audio: As Ian already suggested, the rule for bit rates in FCE is to keep it all the same, so even any music you import should be resampled as a AIFF that matches your sequence ie all 12 bit or all 16 bit. Frankly, I don't know why someone would shoot in 12 bit; it is a lower quality sample rate. Some peeps do it cuz their particular cam allows them to acces other audio tracks in 12 bit; audio tracks you probably wont be able to capture in FCE anyway. At any rate, just keep that sampling rate all the same and you should not have any probs with sync.
Another key point in FCE that when you do your final export, you have to mixdown your audio. From Edit, Select All then go Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown
Chapters: Basic rules for this in FCE is you can't have a chapter marker less than one second away from the beginning or end of your program. I think iMovie has probs if you place a chapter marker right on a transition; FCE is more forgiving but I tend not to do this too much, it doesn't look very neat in playback. When you set your chapter markers, don't forget to select the Chapter Marker option in the submenu and don't erase the <Chapter> heading: that does not show up in your export. When exporting, make sure nothing is selected in your timeline and use Export as Quicktime Movie and select Chapters from the pulldown

Just looking for some advice for a Networking 'noob'

Hey folks,
I manage the post-production workflow for a small agency. We're getting ready to move into a new office space, and we'll be looking to make some upgrades to our video workflow and data management.
At the current time, we have two G5s (PowerPCs) and a new Intel Mac Pro. We may be adding a fourth (or even fifth) workstation. We shoot everything on the DVX (24p DV), but we're also (strongly) considering upgrading to an HD workflow and investing in a few HVX packages so we can have the option of shooting 720p. We will NOT be shooting anything higher than that, (no uncompressed, digibeta, no 1080p, etc.)
Right now, when we need to access media from other computers, we simply use the AppleTalk feature of our internal ethernet and mount the drives remotely. This actually works fairly well, and we usually don't have any issues with latency. But it becomes frustrating at times when we want to search for a particular media file or FCP project file and we can't remember which drive it was stored on. We'd like to have all of our editing workstations be able to access the same media simultaneously in one shared 'Mother Ship.'
I guess my question is: What should we get? Final Cut Server? G-Raid? Xsan?
I'm not really an IT guy, so I can't say I really know the differences between these different options, but any advice you can offer would be most appreciated.
And as for budget, we're prob looking to spend something in the range of $8,000-$10,000 dollars on this new system. (that's NOT including the HVXs, of course.
qp

Ok... here we go, not sure what you are doing except editing DV right now,
but this will work for HDV, DVCPROHD, Uncompressed SD and some ProRes
as long as you have a good Gigabit Router to transfer files. Please consult
a professional if this sounds scary to you.

Some advice for a prospective user please.

Hello, I have been looking through some of the documentation
on the Adobe web site and I have read several posts that have
answered some of my questions but I just want to be certain that
Contribute is the product that I need, or rather my client needs,
for a web site that I am making. Thank you very much for any advice
that you can give, I apologise if my questions are tedious and you
have answered them before, by all means refer me to another post
that is relevant to my questions.
Um... I am making a web site in Dreamweaver. Can I upload the
web site in the same way as I would if I was not using Contribute
and then allow someone else to come along and edit the page using
this software? Or put another way; can you use contribute to edit
any page on the web providing you have the appropriate access?
I read in another post that the designer does not have to own
Contribute, only the client who will be editing the site does. What
I want to make sure about is that as the designer I will not have
to do anything different to what I would normally do and all of the
Contribute use is at their end.
Thank you very much for your help. It is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Adam.

Hi Adam,
To answer your first question:
Yes, Contribute can connect to the same remote site that you
use with
Dreamweaver, and you're exactly right that it can be used to
edit only
those pages the Contribute user has permissions to. In my
company I'm
the only person using Dreamweaver, as the site administrator,
and
everyone else uses Contribute. My use of Dreamweaver is
basically to
create templates and make some changes that aren't possible
in
Contribute (such as folder renaming and mass file deletion),
but any new
pages I create using Contribute as well, though I could use
Dreamweaver.
for your second question:
I'm not really sure. My setup uses Contribute Publishing
Server (CPS)
and this connect to Active Directory, allowing me to assign
users to
roles within Contribute. Now, while Dreamweaver does let me
administer
the website using Contribute screens, I don't know if I could
do this
without Contribute installed on the same PC (which it is).
Possibly,
Yes.. but I don't know.

Some advice for this newbie please ... writing Network in Java

K, i'm new to Java, and i've hardly done much Object-oriented coding but I have the basic concepts. University modules too focused on C, Visual Basic programming. =o( Currently, on Internship, I've been tasked to write Mobitex Network in Java, poll-driven. Have spent 3 weeks breathing Java =P, camping in Java Developer Connection too. =o) (enjoyed the exchange of ideas especially the post on "Java sucks")
My questions are:
1) Does Java have an indexed library like MSDN for VB? or is there any other way i can search for
method names, their uses and the syntax? (the case-sensitivity of Java had me crazily
debugging a simple test application) The lists of libraries available eg java.lang.string.*.
2) Is there a help somewhere where i can check what my errors are referring to? I'm using
JDK1.3.1_02 and Forte for Java, Community Edition version 3 for my IDE.
3) I have plans to design simple user-interface, one that would probably look dos-like but with
some buttons and forms coz the network has lots of functionalities that involve loop-back tests,
choice of sending data, control or information frames. Duration to complete this project is 2
months. Please suggest the best approach I should tackle this assignment and perhaps the
links and softwares you'd recommend.
ps: i chose this project over the rest to specifically learn Java. I knew the learning curve is steep but I seriously do want to get to know Java better, like a friend. And I'm looking forward to the sense of satisfaction awarded when I complete the application program. Thanks for your patience and words of advice. =)

oh, ok then... I assume, then, that you have access to the C and/or C++ code.
Is the C++ code written in "good" OOD style? Or is it C wrapped in some C++ syntax? If it's OO, without multiple inheritance, then you just have some porting to do. Painful, but not as bad as writing a Mobitex implementation on your own.
Of course, timing is everything in this environment; depending on your platform (J2ME, I'd guess), you're gonna have to worry about meeting real-time-ish committments...
I'd concentrate on getting the Mobitex functionality solid first. I'd assume that there are (some?) reference applications that have been created against the C & C++ implementations. Port those, or use those as inspiration for your own (little!) app...

Some advice for a windows person who wants to switch :o

Hey, here's the deal. I work in a computer shop and I've been looking at Mac's more and more and I'm beginning to love them.
I'm going to university soon and so I will be purchasing a laptop, and I am thinking about getting the new Macbook with an Intel processor. The reason for this choice is so I can dual boot Windows.
I really like what I have seen with Mac os, but having Windows there for when I need it would be fantastic, too.
How stable is XP running on the new Macbooks, will the drivers provide almost full functionality (i.e. display, networking, usb, sound etc.)?
Do you think Mac would be suitable for me at University, taking into consideration integration with the school's windows based network and also the wireless network in my halls of residence??
I really would like to switch to Mac now that I can use Windows when I need to, and have MacOS for the majority of usage, whilst also having an extremmmmmmely cool looking machine.
Any advice or general info aswell, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

From here:
Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.
Macs work fine on the Windows network at the university I went to, including the wireless networks in the dorms.

AU filters, and some suggestions for use

I have just discovered the powerfull AU filters for the tracks, and would like some overall suggestions on their use. I have read on many forums and posts on what each one is, but my question is more on the line of when is enough enough, and can you degrade a file, like an image file, by too many filters?
Example one: Podcasts. Plain recording of vocal track with no efffect. After the recording, my thought is too apply the AUlowpass to take out the highend and clean up the sound. Then, maybe the AUMatrixReverb to fill it out.
Then, on the MasterTrack, apply the AUMultiband Compressor to balance the output. Is this something that would be ok?
Example two: Vocal recording project. Apply AUfilter to the backing instramental track to make it the way you want...
Record vocals again plain, vanilla, no effects. After the recording, add AUlowpass if needed, maybe AUGraphicEQ to shape the vocals, then do the MasterTrack effect as above.
I guess I would just like some more suggestions from people in the know on some use of the AU filters and how to do it best.
Thanks,
Cory

First, yes, you can degrade output, because a filter (by definition) changes the signal. However, if you use them carefully, they will enhance the sound. You don't have to worry about signal processing artefacts of too many filters in a row, since the design of the AU filters seems to be quite good. But in the end, your ears have to be the judge: why should you worry about degradation if you like the result?
About the low pass filter: normally, parametric EQ is used to cut specific frequency bands. E.g., if you have some trouble in the higher frequencies, it is unlikely you need to cut all of it, which is what a low pass filter does. This will make your mix sound dull. A parametric EQ can apply a much more precise and subtle edit, and at different places (most mixes also benefit from cutting the higher bass a little bit). EQ can also be used to boost. E.g., a slight increase around 12kHz can give some "air" to the mix.
