Need of peer review software (in research)

Hej (Swedish for Hi),
I have submitted this question to the Leopard forum, but if any administrator thinks it is more suitable in another Mac Forum, please feel free to move my post.
NEED OF SOFTWARE
Most of the times when I submit a manuscript to a scientific journal, that journal will ask me to supply the names, addresses and email addresses of 3-4 potential peer reviewers (they will scrutinize my paper and judge its quality). I do this over and over again. Sometimes a manuscript is rejected and I am quite convinced I know who rejected the paper (although peer review is anonymous), and I might not want to recommend that person again for the very same manuscript. Sometimes I have recommended a person as a peer reviewer several times within the last months, and want to recommend someone else.
It could also be nice to have some statistics of how many times a certain person has been recommended, and for what journal. Of course this could probably be done in Excel, but perhaps there is some nice Mac-program for this (otherwise, is anyone interrested in writing one...?)
I am looking for a software that could handle the following:
name of the reviewer
current email
current address
current institution
reasons for choosing him/her as a peer reviewer
Last time he was recommended
Number of times he/she has been recommended.
A list of all journals, dates and for what papers he has been recommended
The outcome of each submission when he/she was recommended
How would you have solved this?
Best regards, Jonas Ludvigsson

Howdy Jonas (Texas for hej),
It sounds like you are looking for a simple database application. [Bento|http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW345LL/A] would probably be able to do everything you need. It is made by FileMaker.
Best of luck.

Need advice on video software.

Need advice on video software.
I currently use adobe elements 3 and have done so for a few years now with no problems. my os is XP and my system is a couple of years old, but we do have a brand new win7 machine in the house.
I am currently look at Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra OR Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Reviews for both softwares seem very good BUT, when I dig deeper into user reviews instead of editor reviews do I find problems.
Major problems with program crashing all over the place, at start up etc, and it is still not getting along with any win7 machine? Major problems with drivers. Honestly, I do not want to have to jump through dozens of hoops to get any software to run. After I pay for it, it should run, period.
Has anyone else here used both softwares and can you give an honest opinion of each?
I am also asking these same questions on the cyberlink site.
I would like to upgrade my video software to take advantage of the new features that are coming out but I really don't want a big headache trying to run one or the other. To be fair, when I bought adobe elements 3 I had also bought pinnacle, which has gathered dust since my first week with it, which is why elements was purchased. That was money wasted and I do not wish to repeat this. I would like to go with Premiere Elements 8 but remain very unsure.

If your newer machine is Win7 64-bit, it might be worth waiting for SP-1 to be issued, and then hope that 64-bit drivers are fully included. The 64-bit drivers now seem t be an issue at this point, and that will affect any NLE program.
Also, and regardless of which particular program you choose, optimizing your computer, the OS, the hardware, and the resources management, will go a very long way to insuring success. Few programs can tax a computer, as an NLE can - any NLE. Video and Audio editing will stress your system, like almost nothing else can, except for heavy-duty CAD, or 3D work, though those are usually done only on specialized, optimized computers, designed just for those applications.
Not the specific advice that you seek, but it's the best that I can do.
Good luck,
Hunt

Peer reviews,coding standards and audit norms

hi,
what is meant by peer reviews, coding standards and audit norms in development project of ABAP.
regds:
balakrishna.

Hi Bala,
Peer review: The code which is written by the developer will be cross checked by one of the team member if the code fulfills the technical spec or not.
Coding Standards: In a project the client and the software service provider will have an understanding regarding naming convention of all variables, constants, internal table, select-options, etc.
Example: if it is a select-options the field should be named with the first letter S_ then you will write S_Matnr, and for variables you have to follow V_ then V_maktx.
Audit norms: Audit norms will depend on the organization so it does not have any standard answer.

Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.

HELP! I need audio CD burning software that features "gain" control...

...that ISN'T Roxio Toast!
(I realise that this is not a question about iTunes specifically, but I wasn't sure where else to post this.)
I burn a lot of compilation CDs for the car, and for years I used Roxio's Jam 2.5 and 2.6 because they allowed me to adjust the gain (volume) of each track for consistent volume overall. The software was light on features but it worked reliably and predictably. (Supposedly Jam 2.6 works with OS X 10.6.x, but I never could get it to launch.)
I reluctantly purchased Toast Titanium (and have updated to 11.1), and while it technically works, the app is more than a little clunky, frustrating and half-baked. For example, the latest update appears to have fixed the "sticky" gain windows that would open far longer than needed, but now the software cannot navigate through ANY of my folders or hard drives after typing Command-O to open an existing Toast file. Pathetic! (Do they not test their own product at all?!)
Can anyone recommend any other software that was designed specifically for burning audio CDs that features at least gain and crossfade controls? I'd love nothing more than to ditch Roxio products once and for all!
Thanks in advance!!

I would recommend at least downloading the trial version of Sound Studio and trying it out. I work for Freeverse (the publishers of Sound Studio). I asked around, and there have not been any complaints about the pitch adjuster in the latest version 3.5.5, AFAIK. You can adjust the pitch and tempo independently.
The trial version is fully functional, and is only limited by the number of times you can launch the program (10 times).

If you do try it out, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

HP MediaSmart DVD - Need to Update Bluray Software - Advice??

Hi Guys,
So has there been any update to this issue after all these months? I recently bought an HP Pavillion Slimline 5500t and when I first got the system about a month ago the Blu Ray player worked although not very well. It skipped and stuttered and had some pixelization issues with a few Bluray Discs. Seems to play non-Bluray fine. Then I got Avatar this past Friday and put the disc in the computer - played fine for about 40 mins - maybe an occasional stutter but nothing I couldn't tolerate. I made no system changes at all and last night (sunday night, two days later) when I insert the same exact bluray disc (Avatar) I get a red screen that says "Your Bluray Software needs to be updated, please contact your manufacturer."
I call tech support and after 3hrs of doing updates and other stuff I am in the exact same situation as I was before. Only now they tell me they want to do a system recovery back to the day I got the PC which will wipe out all my data and configuration settings. I told them no way. Everything is working perfectly EXCEPT the HP Media Smart DVD software. So why would I blow out my entire system and all the programs I've downloaded.
So I'm now stuck. I like others have said do not want to pay $89.95 for Cyberlink's PowerDVD after I already paid $1200 for this computer with all the upgraded goodies to be able to play BluRay. Very disappointed in HP for not fixing this issue properly. Any advice?
Thanks, Dan

Also reposting another post I left on another thread with more info of my situation:
"But for real. I was trying to explain this issue to my girlfriend last night and she was like, "but my crappy old DVD player has never had an issue playing any DVD I put in it, so why would your $1200 computer have a problem?"
And there we are. I totally agree with her. It is complete BS. Not to mention I took the other poster's advice and downloaded Slysoft and whala...perfect picture quality, no encryption or "need to update your software" errors at all.
So this is 100% a licensing / copyright update issue and HP / Cyberlink are just behind the curve. What I can't understand is how can Netflix and others be sending out discs that don't work in people's stand alone Bluray players?? And if they do in fact work in the stand alone players then why in the hell would they NOT work in a high speed / media center spec built always online always connected computer which could download new codecs/updates every single day if it required to do so??
I don't get it. I'm gonna complain to HP today because this is 100% a licensing issue. And to think they almost had me roll back my whole **bleep** computer and delete all my files and settings. All I had to do was a 10sec download and everything works perfectly. But I don't want to pay for Slysoft...its F-ing expensive. I'm pissed."

Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device

Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device
This is the message that i get when ever i plug in my ipod touch to my computer. the computer is running on vista. i dont know what to do, because i tried to follow the steps suggested, but it didnt work, the computer said that it couldnt find anything and to check with apple for some driver software. HELP!!!

The iPod touch and iPhone do not use the same type of USB drivers that other Apple devices use. They both require Apple Mobile Device Services to be running. Using this tech article as a guide, you can easily fix this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Will I need to upgrade my software?

I'm running a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 and am considering buying an IPad Mini so I can download documents for use at meetings. I want to know if I need to upgarde thew software on my Macbook so the two devices will work together. If the answer is yes, then what software do I need and how do I go about it?

Yes, the newest iPad Mini requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.6.8. Note, 10.7 and higher do not support Rosetta (pre-2006 Mac) applications, without significant fiddling.

I had a 'dead' iMac repaired and it needed a new HDD & graphics card, the repairer installed OSX 10.6.8 and i now need to install other software but I am being asked for 'User' password so I may do this, I've no idea what this will be. Help please.

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

HT1338 I need to update my software in order to download the new version of iTunes in order to put songs on my new iPod. But my software doesn't need updating..or so my computer says. What should I do??

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

I need to update my software to OS X 10.6.8 but my software update keep on showing that there is nothing to be update, my iMac is currently OS X 10.5.8. What do I need to do?

Some online resellers still have Snow Leopard in stock, but their prices are ridiculously high (Amazon.com is one). So your best bet is to call Apple; they will sell it for about $20 US as long as they still have stock.
