Need help understanding Folders.

I am extremely new at using iMac OS X Leopard Desktop. I work with a lot of photos and when importing with my camera I have difficultly adding them in one place where I can find them when using Disk Utility for burning to CD. I would like to import my photo’s , create a folder for each subject......The main folder would be Blizzard 2008 the subfolders would than follow with Blizzard on 2/2/08, Blizzard sitting in the rain.....and so on..... each have separate folders under the Main Folder Blizzard 2008. As I did with my PC......can this be done?
In finder when I want to find a file all I have to do is go on the “Pictures” and see all the folders of photos.
Please help!
Terry

1. Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a Folder on the desktop. Burn that with Finder (or Disk Utility). Because iPhoto exports a copy of your pics, after you've burned the folder on your desktop you can then trash it. Your pics remain safe in iPhoto.
2. Alternatively: use the Share -> Burn command in iPhoto to create a disk that maintains your Library structure and will open in iPhoto.
FYI There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden

hi
I would like to ask whether does Microsoft have a solution on this issue
need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden. and there will be a Recycler hidden folder, inside is a randomName.exe file(with a lady image as the program icon). Once the user click on the
shortcut of the folders, it will activate the .exe file and install onto Windows and with any pendrive, external harddisk plug to the infected machine all will be affected when plug to a clean machine and the cycle repeat itself.. by infect other
clean machine.
Please help as this is affecting my company of 400+ users! on window 7 pro x86 and x64
the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
thus is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?
Jaslena

the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..

This is just because of infection is propagated.. As a result files are hidden.. attrib is great as it is suggested by S Guna . May be you can make a batch file or something like that? But there is a chance of reinfection if you don't clean your infected
systems as well as your pendrives..
Plug your infected flash drive and
Use one scanner at a time
Download hitman pro 3.7 (shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)and have a full system scan including your pendrive.. http://www.surfright.nl/en
And/or
use malwarebyte have a full system including your pendrivescan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
And/or
Use Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool downloaded from uninfected pc and transfer to you pc and install and have a full system scan
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
If everything fails, you can use offline bootable resccue cd and do a full system scan...

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-defender-offline-faq
or hitman kickstart bootable pendrive

Then
(1)Check whether your files are hidden.. Most of the time files and folders are hidden as a result of pen drive malware infection..
It will change the attributes of the files/folders.
In that case u can use attrib command and
attrib -s -h -a -r
This is how it is used.. attrib method is common for windows

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

Need help understanding syntax

Hi,
I need some help to understand the following syntax .
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean); What is this PPARAMImpl?
I know "am " is a variable . And with pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) we are trying to get the AM name for that page, then why do we need to add (PPARAMImpl) before pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) ?
For example in plsql , apps.testpkg.mainproc(param1,param2)
means
schema.packagename.procedurename(parameter1,parameter2).
So can you explain "PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean)" in that manner?
pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))
What is this ?
What are the possible values for EVENT_PARAM ? And by the way , I need help on setting a default value for one of my search parameters in a search region .
Correct me If I am wrong, this is what I thought
1. EOImpl has setters and getters for that attribute. So call the setter method in controller and set the value , if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
or
2. get the view object name and then set the value for that . like viewobject.setattribute('att name',att value'),if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
Thanks
Sri.

Hi,
No. These are not equal.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) return AM of type OAApplicationModule.
It would be fine if your variable am, is of type OAApplicationModule:
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) // this would be fine.
But as you are using of type PPRAMImpl, you must have to type-cast that externally using:
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
If you are still not clear, then refer any java book or google for internal & external type-casting in java.

Need help understanding Time Capsule file structure and how to get it back

I have the original Time Capsule on which I backup both my Mac Pro and my wife’s Macbook. When Snow Leopard came out, I successfully used the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ feature on my Mac Pro so I know it has worked. However, my wife’s MacBook harddrive died the other day and I was trying to do the ‘Restore from Time Machine’ and all it would find was a backup from April (when I put her in a new larger drive). Time Machine would not find any backup files newer that April. She stated that she had seen the the Time Machine backup notices regularly and as recent as the day the haddrive died (Nov. 23) so I figured that I should have no problem. Here is what I have found in my trouble shooting and what leads to my questions below.
This is the file structure I found: (note that our ID’s are ‘Denise’ and ‘John’)
*Time Capsule* (the drive as listed in my Finder window sidebar under ‘shared’)
>Folder called ‘Time Capsule’ (when logged in as either ‘Denise’ or ‘John’)
>>Denise Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of Denise’s iBook (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘Denise’s iBook
>>>>>>Single folder with old April backup (not the right files)
>>John Sparsebundle
>>>Backup of John’s Mac Pro (mounted image)
>>>>Folder called ‘Backups.backupdb’
>>>>>Folder called ‘John’s Mac Pro’
>>>>>>Folders containing all my backup files
>Folder Called ‘Denise’ (if logged as ‘Denise’)
>>Denise’s Sparsebundle (a disk image)
>>>Backup of Denise iBook (the mounted image. Name from old machine)
>>>>Backups.Backupdb
>>>>>Denise’s iBook (Contains the backup I need)
>Folder Called ‘John’ (if logged in as ‘John’)
>> (empty)
For some reason, my wife’s backup files are stored within a folder located at the top level of the Time Capsule drive called ‘Denise’, however, mine are within a folder called ‘Time Capsule’ which is at the same level as the ‘Denise’ folder.
For some reason, when trying to use Time Machine to recover, it bypasses the top level ‘Denise’ folder which contains the correct files and goes into the ‘Time Capsule’ folder and finds the outdated backup files.
I would assume that both my backup files and my wife’s should be at the same level of the Time Capsule.
I was eventually able to use Migration Assistant to recover the files after installing a fresh OS and mounting the correct Sparsebundle image.
So, my question, how do I get this fixed so that if I have to recover a drive with Time Capsule, it will find the correct files.
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help.

What I was trying to determine is why different backups for one particular machine are located at different file structure levels on my Time Capsule and why the most resent one for that machine is at a different level that for my other machine. Also, what is the correct level that both machines backups should be at.
well John, first can you clarify if you are on 10.4.8 as your profile suggests ? if so, i'm wondering how you can use TM at all because TM was introduced with Leo. if you're not on 10.4.8, please update your profile. if you could, please also indicate details of your machine such as available RAM, processor, etc.
second, what OS is your wife's machine running ?
third, i frankly don't know too much about TM's file structure or if there indeed is such a thing as the correct one. however, i do know that it is best to leave TM to do its thing (as long as it's working). FWIW, though off-topic, you may want to have a look at this read for further information.
last but not least, i see TM backups to my TC only as a part of my backup strategy. the backbone of my strategy is to create bootable clone of my startup disk(s) using e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner on a regular basis. while TM is capable of doing a full system restore, i don't trust it as much as a working clone. i use TM to retrieve a file i accidentally trashed a week ago but you cannot boot from a TM backup if your startup disk goes belly up.
If I have missed this information in either the FAQs or the Troubleshooting article, I would greatly appreciate being pointed to it .
i expect you didn't miss anything and i'm sorry you didn't find any help there. perhaps if Pondini (author of the FAQ and troubleshooting user tips) reads this thread, you will get the necessary advice on the file structure and more besides.
good luck to you !

I need help understanding how this works. AS 2.0

Its my first time here and i only started learning flash today. I aint too great with maths and i was showed this piece of code that makes a triangles point follow the cursor. It involved mathimatical things ( which i aint so great at) and the guy said "You dont need to know how it works, just how to use it." well i copied his code and it worked, but i have no idea how to use it in other rotation apart from the one he taught us. I dont even understand how to redo his code i saved it to a word document and anytime i wanted to make something rotate something in that fashion i would refer to that. But i dont want to have to do that, i want to know how to use it, dont have to understand it, but use it for other rotation matters. If you are going to help, please try to be a bit simmple i explaining it, cause im new. Dont get me wrong i aint thick but i can find it a bit hard to follow some things, that is i my current problem.
here is the rotation code:
onEnterFrame = function()
hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number
dy = _ymouse-mc._y;
dx = _xmouse-mc._x;
rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
rotate = rad*180/Math.PI
return rotate+90
also if it helps, here is the video i was watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OfrpbNhHs
please if you can, explain how the entire thing works.
thanks for any help given in advance.

Hi,
Here's a short primer. It may not be sufficient but here goes.
1st, move the closing bracket at the end and put it on the third line. This makes the code more efficient
onEnterFrame = function(){                               // this causes Flash to repeatedly
                                                                          execute the next line at the
                                                                          frame rate you selected
                                                                          for your document
       hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);               // this tells Flash to rotate a
                                                                          movie clip (named hero) based
                                                                          on the function getmouse()
};                                                                     // putting the }; here makes the
                                                                          code more efficient and readable
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number{   // This is the function called with
                                                                         mc referring to hero that was

     dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                        the y position of the movieclip

     dx = _xmouse-mc._x;                               // dx = delta x (same as above line
                                                                        but on the x axis)
                                                                     // once you have the x and y sides

     rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians
                                                                        the arc tangent atan2 will give the

     return rotate+90                                         // this returns the value of rotate back
                                                                        to the calling function in line 2.
                                                                        the +90 determines which part
                                                                    // of the hero movie clip is facing the

If you put the mouse cursor over any of the green reserved words above in the Actions panel you will get a desctription of what these do.
hope that helps.

I need help understanding export options and optimizing for web

I have been using FCP X for a short while now and have a pretty good grasp on the editing capabilities. What I'm having a horrible time figuring out is the export/share options. The videos I create are typically approximately 1 minute in length and get posted to a web site (we have our own CMS and video player so I'm not using YouTube or Vimeo or anything like that). In order to post them I need them to be MP4s and then I have to create .webm and .ogv files. The source material I work with is generally great, high quality stuff, so I end up with very large output files from the initial FCP share master file options.
When I use MPEG Streamclip to make my MP4s I end up with files that are still quite large and I can't seem to ever get the file size manageable without losing tons of quality. I do not have Compressor, though if that will solve my problem I will put in for the expense of it. What I'm trying to understand is what sorts of settings I should be trying out to get my file sizes to be manageable without completely compromising my quality. And I know this can be done, because the company I work for pays for a great quantity of video work each year (from an outside production firm) and the clips provided are beautiful in quality and small in file size -- for example, I recently worked on a video and got it into the 40MB range before quality went to crap, working off the same material the production company we do work with had theirs down into the teens and looking beautiful!
To throw an even greater wrench in the works, I am working off a mac. But when my boss, on a pc, saves the mp4s I create (raw files -- not what is posted to the web) locally on his machine and views them from there the sound is always off a tad and the people in the videos look like they're lip synching.
Any advice on either of these is MUCH appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out properly for months, and only today decided to stop seeing if someone else had the same question and just post my own.
Bronwyn

Thank you Karsten, this was helpful I have utilized the Quality slider and the frame size options before though with limited results. I've never messed with the Limit Date Rate option as I don't know what I'm doing with it, I see you put 5Mbps. Is that a typical setting that I could use?
Using stream info, here's info on my original source file:
Stream: Charles_0023_2.mov
Duration: 0:00:51
Data Size: 96.51 MB
Bit Rate: 15.77 Mbps
Video Tracks:
H.264, 1920 × 1080, 29.97 fps, 15.64 Mbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 127 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0023_2.mov (96.51 MB)
As a comparison, here's the info on a similar clip that the company we sometimes use created:
Stream: Charles_0019_4.mp4
Duration: 0:00:49
Data Size: 4.66 MB
Bit Rate: 0.80 Mbps
Video Tracks:
JVT/AVC Coding, 710 × 400, 29.97 fps, 635 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 162 kbps
Stream Files:
Charles_0019_4.mp4 (4.66 MB)
I'm fine with bringing the frame size down some and modifying the limit data rate, but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing my video into something it's not and the quality suffers -- this is where my understanding of video work breaks down LOL. Any suggestions of how I can get my .mov into something like the the .mp4 above?
Also have you had any experience with mp4s not playing back properly on pcs?
Again, thank you!

1 Epson 3800 Standard
2 Spyder3Studio
I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
2 Calibrated the monitor
3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
What I've found:
1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
So, why am I confused?
1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
Hope this helps,

Need help understanding component id values in a region

Hi, I have an adf region that is assigned the id of r1. The region uses a .jsff that has various UI components, for example a commandButton assigned the id of cb1. I'm trying to understand how ADF creates the id for the button that's rendered.
For example, in this case, the id of the button is something like a:b:r1:1:cb1 (where a & b are the ids of other parent naming containers). What does the ":1" in r1:1 indicate? It seems like it's some index value and not referring to a naming container, but not sure what this means in the context of a region.
Other times, I've noticed that the id of the same button is something like a:b:r1:0:cb1. In this case, r1:1 got changed to r1:0. What is the meaning of ":1" and "{noformat}:0{noformat}" in the ids and why would this change?

I am assuming that your mum's email address is a sub-account of your dad's.
If it is you need to set up a BTID for her. This will allow her email account to be managed and only accessed by her rather than being managed by your dad.
If your dad is the account holder log onto his MyBT and go to "My Extras" and you will see "Manage BTMail" Click on that and you should see their email accounts. Make sure that you "gift" your mum's email to her.
You should now set up a BTID using your mum's email address and password as the BTID username and password. Once you have done that she should be able to log onto MyBT using her BTID and you should be able to log onto her email.

You should make your dad's BTID the same as his BT email address and password. It makes it easier to manage and allow access to other BT features. It is his email address and password that you put onto Outlook Express.

Need help understanding why "1 is always equal to 1" is necessary in my Advanced Action

I am using Captivate 7 and publishing as a SWF.
I have an interaction that works, but there's one script that I use (which I found in a tutorial) that I don't understand the purpose of.
The interaction is contained on a single slide where a user clicks two buttons in any order and a graphic appears after the second click. On each button I have a Conditional Advanced Action where I first check that it will always be true that "1 is equal to 1", then assign each variable with "1", then check that each variable was equal to 1 after which the graphic appears.
The part that confuses me is checking if "1 is always equal to 1." Why is this script necessary in this case? Is it necessary because I'm including a Standard Advanced Action (assigning variables to "1") within the Conditional Advanced Action? Or is related to the fact that I'm doing everything on one slide (not using an On Enter slide event executing a Conditional Advanced Action)?
Thanks.

Perhaps it will help to think using different terms.
If you need a script that performs a check against some condition, you need a Conditional Action. Maybe you need to show an image if button 1 has been clicked. And if button 2 has been clicked, you need to show a different image.
Before checking to see which button has been pressed, you need to hide both images so that only the desired image is shown. So you need to perform the same action each time before checking some variable to take a specific action.
This is where the "If 1=1" would come from.
Each time the script is run, hide both images. Since the check to see if 1=1 will ALWAYS evaluate as true, the "ELSE" part will never be reached. So you would always perform the same actions just as a Standard Action would do.
Perhaps if you posted some screen captures of your scripts, we might better explain it.
Cheers... Rick

I need help understanding reconnect issues with my photos

I have having a really difficult time learning to use this program. I automatically have all my pictures saved in Elements. I seem to be unable to save my photos in any folders, so therefore I am unable to upload any one picture to facebook or my word processing program. I am not finding any options for sorting my files. I use tags and have them all tagged but that doesn't help me. I want to make a CD of only certain photos not every photo in my catalog.
What I have been doing is is using file>move>desktop and then uploading or copying from there. I keep running into problems when I go back to elements that my photos are not connected and need to be reconnected. Dozens and dozens of my photos need reconnecting and I can't seem to find them.
What am I doing wrong? The current project I am trying to accomplish is making a CD of about 60 of my daughters graduation pictures from the total collection of over 100 pictures. I am very frustrated because I cannot do this while feeling that it should be a doable project in this program.
As a side comment I have watched so many tutorial videos for this program but they don't seem to answer my questions, altough I have learned a lot from them, the pictures just sit there in elements and I can not share them or show them off.

First, a better workflow: if you want to make a CD of some photos for someone, create a collection or album for this purpose. Place all the desired photos into this collection or album. Inside the collection/album, you can sort the photos in any way you'd like. Then, once you are happy, select all the photos in the collection/album, File->Export->As New Files, export the photos to a temporary folder somewhere, and then burn your CD. In general, any time you want to share your photos, this is the process (the creating of a collection/album is optional, but you always want to use File->Export->As New Files)

Need help understanding an example in Flex 4 Language Reference: flash.data.sqlstatement

I don't understand how to use the example in Flash Builder. I read the link concerning this, but it's still unclear.
1) Is this example a single file, or should the class definition be separate? I ask because I don't see any import statements at all, which makes me wonder how it would work.
2) does init() act as the automatic entry point for this code, or is this function called from some unseen event?
3) does dbStatement.itemClass = Employee represent the link between the main app and the class file?
I've been looking all over for a solution to my problem in that I have 8 or 10 querries to a sqlite db in my main application and I would really like to move each to their own file, but I don't understand how to reference them from the main app, or how to share the results with the main app. I was hoping this was what I'm looking for.
// Employee class definition
package
    public class Employee
        public var name:String;
        public var ssn:String;
        public var id:uint;
        public override function toString():String
            return "id: "+ id.toString() + " name: " + name + " ssn: " + ssn;
// using the Employee class as SQLStatement.itemClass
var conn:SQLConnection;
var dbStatement:SQLStatement;
function init():void
    conn = new SQLConnection();
    conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, connOpenHandler);
    dbStatement = new SQLStatement();
    dbStatement.sqlConnection = conn;
    dbStatement.text = "SELECT id, name, ssn FROM employees";
    dbStatement.itemClass = Employee;
    var dbFile:File = new File(File.separator + "employee.db");
    conn.open(dbFile);
function connOpenHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
    dbStatement.execute();
function resultHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    var result:SQLResult = dbStatement.getResult();
    if (result != null)
        var emp:Employee;
        var numRows:int = result.data.length;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < numRows; i++)
            emp = result.data[i];
            trace(emp.toString());
Thanks

Hi Kristin,
1020: Method marked override must override another method.
-overridesObject.toString
There is popular misconception among ActionScripters about toString() method - if one want to provide custom implementation method of super class "override" keyword is needed.
But in case of Object "toString" is dynamic and it is attached at runtime negating the need of overriding - instead implementation is to be provided by developer so one is not created at runtime. So one needs to just write her own: toString():String method.
Methods of the Object class are dynamically created on Object's prototype. To redefine this method in a subclass of Object, do not use the override keyword. For example, a subclass of Object implements function toString():String instead of using an override of the base class.

hth,
kind regards,
Peter

Need help understanding Specific Logic preferences

Hello everyone. I'm currently optimizing my system for my next project, and decided to dive into the manual and read up on Logic's song setttings/preferences, however there were a few I did not understand. Can someone explain the following Logic preferences and what they effect/do? (I have included the associated Logic manual pages, hoping they will make sense to you, as they didnt to me
Living Groove connection: pg. 641 No clue what this does
Smooth Cycle Algorithm: pg 641 Do not understand
Plugin Delay compensation: pg 644. Do I need this if I am not using a DSP card, but am using the "external" and "I/O" plugins?
Sample Accurate automation: pg 644 How important is this? How much "overall system performance" is effected with this enabled? When not enabled, what is the default unit? A frame? QF? Tick?
Audio preferences-Drivers-Process buffer Range: pg 380 Dont understand the testing process. What should I expect to change between the different settings?
Audio preferences-Sample editor-"Global Undo File path" or "Store undo files in song folder." Which to use an why?
Video-Video to Song: pg 653 Is this some sort of timing compensation? Why would this be used in place of Video offset within the session itself?
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Dual 2.5GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 5Gb Ram, Logic 7.1.1 and other goodies

Living Groove connection - If you create a groove using a region, but then you change notes' positions/velocity in the template region, any quantizing you do based on that groove will change as well. don't know if it works reliably now. Last time I tried it many years ago it was flaky.
Smooth Cycle Algorithm: Tries to optimize the way cycling works to smooth transitions between end point and start point to eliminate glitching and/or stuttering in the time.
Plugin Delay compensation: Mostly for use with 3rd party DSP cards. I don't think it has any effect on external and I/O plugs. Could be wrong about that.
Sample Accurate automation: Performance hit depends on your CPU. Not sure what the non-sample accurate default is. Probably means that the resolution is the same as that of Midi data.
Audio preferences-Drivers-Process buffer Range. You have to test by trial-and-error. Use the smallest setting which doesn't make your computer convulse whent you work it hard. Changing this setting can alter the slew rate and latency of some kind of automation and thus change the way your mixes sound if you have a lot of rapid automation moves, so try not to mess with it once you find a good setting.
"Global Undo File path" or "Store undo files in song folder." Use the latter, particularly if you use project folders and have any intentions of transporting your work or need to keep access to your undo history. Putting undo data in project folder means it gets saved with your song.
Video-Video to Song: Is how you adjust the startpoint of the movie relative to the startpoint of the Song in Logic. Your downbeat may not correspond exactly to how the video was cut. This is how you compensate for that.
External Video to Song is an aditional adjustment to conpensate for latency caused by playing QT movies via a DV bridge device on FW.

Need help understanding a project please

Hi, i just finished reading through this lab that i'm supposed to do, but have no idea what i am supposed to do. Could anyone here possibly help me understand it in an easier fashion? I would really appreciate it.
Assignment:
For this assignment, we will create a number class that can help us create classes for objects like clocks or angles. The number class will have to be general enough so that we can define different bases for it. Clocks need numbers of base 24 (or 12) and 60. Angles need numbers of base 360 and 60. For now, we are going to simplify things and only define constructors, a toString method, and an increment method. Of course, a complete number class would have many other methods, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, comparing, and negating the numbers. Since a number is made up of digits, we will also define a digit class. The number and digit classes appear very similar because they have nearly the same methods. The differences are in the implementations of the methods.
Write a number class that represents a number with a given base. The number class has two constructors. The default constructor sets the base at 10 and the value to 0. The other constructor accepts a decimal value and a base. The constructors will have to create all of the digits (as objects of the digit class) and store them in some kind of list. Create a toString method and an increment method. These two methods will use the corresponding methods of the digit class to do most of the work for them.
Write a digit class that represents a single digit with a given base. The digit class has two constructors. The default constructor sets the base at 10 and the value to 0. The other constructor accepts a decimal value and a base. Create a toString method and an increment method. The increment method should return a boolean: true if there is a carry and false if not.
For both classes, you can assume that the bases are restricted to binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal and the values are non-negative.
Instructions:
Write a test driver that proves that your classes work.

Am i just reading into the lesson to much and making it way more complicated than it actually is?Like I said, I'm not going to try to interpret the whole thing for you but a) It tells you what to do with the c'tors, and b) I would always assume that "create a method" or "define a method" or whatever he says means "create a *fully functional, correct* method", unless he explicitly states to leave it empty for now.
My advice is to use your best judgment as to what's expected, and get started on that basis. At your first opportunity to speak to your teacher, explain your uncertainty and the assumptions you made.
If you have specific questions along the way, post them here, along with your code or an SSCCE.
When you post code, use the CODE button or [code] and [/code] tags to preserve formatting and make your code readable.
