Need to create multiple indexes - will this work?

For a catalog of about 350 pages, I need both a manufacturer index and a product index. I have read some of the creative solutions already posted here and in other web discussions, and I have an idea.
Why not create two Book files? one could be "Catalog-Product.indb" and the other could be "Catalog-Manufacturer.indb". Basically two separate contexts for the series of layouts. When in the Product book, do all the indexing for that context, update the Product index and close the set of files (saving the Catalog-Product.indb as well and then closing it). Then open the Catalog-Manufacturer book and do the indexing for the Manufacturer index, generate it, save and close.
The question is: will each of the two book files be able to ignore the invisible index metadata that belongs to the other book when generating the index? will there be trash index entries in the Index palette - representing those of the other book file? Or, can these two sets of metadata be properly kept separate?
One consequence that I predict is that the Hyperlinks option during PDF Export from InDesign will be compromised - I would expect whichever book was inactive during the PDF export from the Book file would be the one whose index links would be non-functional.
Can anyone tell me though whether this strategy could generate two proper indexes at least for a print document?

Hi, Bill:
Search Google for terms like "InDesign multiple index" without quotes. There are some good links for this; admittedly they're workarounds. If you take the time to file a formal request for this feature at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, there's a chance the developers will eventually run out of excuses or higher-priority tasks, and include it in a future release.

We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

We have multiple devices in the family, including now 4 iphones, all who share the same Apple ID. I want to stop this, but need thoughts on multiple IDs as Findmyphone works well as same ID?!

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share photos, calendars, etc with an ipad with a different icloud id. if I create a new id for both of us will this work? My concern is losing data on either device. (the mac book pro is new, but has all of the retrieved data from my previous mac book pro)

You will lose data from whichever was the 2nd to last to sync .
Don't do it.

Want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

want to buy airport extreme, am using mountain lion. Will this work ? also, my house is 5,500 square feet all on one floor. Do I need an extender and which one?

... If I purchase an express to extend is it hard to configure as an extender?
No, AirPort Utility prompts you with step-by-step questions and makes configuration simple.
The Express and Extreme have the same transmitter power specifications, so I suggest the $99 Express as an extender, should you need one. Beware that you cannot add a second Express to wirelessly extend the network any further - as the following excerpt from Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations explains:
Extended network range considerations
In the above example the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ is out of wireless range of the extended Wi-Fi base station ➋, therefore the extended Wi-Fi base station cannot join or extend the wireless network. The extended Wi-Fi base station must be moved to a location that is within Wi-Fi range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
Important Note
If another extended Wi-Fi base station ➋ is placed between the primary Wi-Fi base station ➊ and the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌, the extended Wi-Fi base station ➌ will not allow clients to join it. All extended Wi-Fi base stations must be in direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
A "roaming network" that Bob described, in which all base stations are connected with an Ethernet cable, is by far the best alternative.

Hi! I am interested in buying Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, swedish version. I will need to have it installed on 2 seperate PCs, will this work?

Yes, it will work. One Lightroom license entitles you to in two installations for your personal use. In other words, it isn't intended for both versions to be in use at the same time.

Need to create multiple PA documents during billing

Hello,
We have the following scenario.
When we create a billing document from an SD order, we need to create multiple PA documents based on the condition types. We have maintained those condition types to different value fields in KE4I.
For e.g, for a line item in an order, we have Basic Price = 100, Discount = 20
When we do billing for the above line item, we want to create two PA documents, one for the Basic Price and one for the discount. Note that the above Basic prive and Discount are mapped to different value fields and different cost element groups.
Thank you.
Bala

Hi,
This functionality is not possible not does it make any sense. SD conditions are mapped to value fields via KE4I. If you have not activated summarization (tcode KE2S) then for every SD item you will get a COPA document. Each COPA document will contain all the values fields filled via the SD conditions displayed in one line item.
Imagine if you have a SD billing document with 20 items, each items containing 10 conditions. Then you will get 200 COPA documents as per your requirement !!! This does not make any sense neither from technical point of view nor from business point of view.

Waman

Space needed to create an index

Transferring iPhone backup from PC to Mac - will this work?

Hi,
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am almost done with transferring everything from my PC to my Mac after a long full day and a half of backing up, reformatting external hard drives etc.
I have read to transfer an iPhone backup from PC to Mac you need to do the following:
If you are a Windows user, open the Start menu, click on "Computer" and then navigate to the "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" directory.
And then:
Click on the "Finder" icon and navigate to the "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" folder on the Mac.
I did the first step just fine, but when I tried to find the folder on the Mac by both manual navigation and then a spotlight search, it wasn't found, so I went into the Library/Application Support and then created a new folder with the name MobileSync and a subfolder 'Backup' within that. Will this work?
If not, could someone please help me on how to get my iPhone backup onto the Mac.
Thankyou!

Will this work - Duet and External drives thru FireWire hub

I am thinking of getting a Mac Mini, my old 5-year old G4 is having a rough go of it with Logic Studio, so I'm thinking the faster 2.00 Ghz Dual Core Mini may be a better solution. However, I have three external FireWire HD's and I use Apogee's Duet as my inputs so I will need to get a hub (only one FireWire port on the Mini), but will that introduce a whole new set of problems for me? Will this work? Is anyone using this already?

If you do have "noise" in the audio, it will not be because the devices share the same bus.
Digital noise may be created and broadcast by the drives themselves and become thus injected into the audio stream. This can be made worse by poor ground schemes.
Many setups with powered external monitors and/or mixers are susceptible to this particular noise as broadcast by the hard drive. I have these two seagate drives that must be off or you can hear them.

The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

Do I need to create a view for this?

Hi Ihave got 2 tables emp and project
In emp tabe:
emp_no
family name
given name
In porgect table:
emp_no
status(assigned,unassigned)
start_date
end_date
emp_no Family_name given_name
1 Smith John
In project table same employee can have many assigement eg
emp_no status start_date end_date
1 assigned 01-may-08 01-july-08
1 assigned 01-sep-08 01-july-09
1 unassigned 01-july-09 01-oct-09
In the form:
there are 2 querable fields "project ends between field1(date) and field2(date)" which is used to
retrive records which have end date between field1 and field2.
The following fields are needed to get from database:
emp.family_name emp.given_name project.start_date project.end_date No.of time assigned
Requirements:
1. project.start_date and project.end_date must be the latest project_end_date for the same emp
so in the above sample date
2. No. of time assigned is a count of total of number records which have status='assign'
So for the given sample data the record expected after query would be(field1=01-jun-08 field2=02-july-09)
emp.family_name emp.given_name project.start_date project.end_date No.of time assigned
Smith John 01-sep-08 01-july-09 2
What is the best approach to get:
1 The lastest project(latest end_date) for the emp
2. get No.of time assigned.
Do I need to create a view for this? If yes, any sample sql code this this?
Thanks for your help

Hi W1zard,
Thanks for your reply. Could you clarify the following points for me:
1.) you could create a master block basing on your emp table and a detail block basing on your project table with the relation over emp_no. set the default_where clause of your detail block programmatically using
set_block_property('project', default_where, 'status = ''assigned'' and <your_date_criteria>');
Q1: where I pit this code? in pre-query trigger in detail block?
2.) Of course you could create a view to join both of your tables if you don't want to use master detail blocks; Also do the join over emp_no
create or replace force view v_emp as
select emp.family_name, emp.given_name, project.start_date, project.end_date
from emp, project
where emp.emp_no = project.emp_no
Q2 As I mentioned before, there are multipal entries for the same emp in project table and we only need the maching record from project table which has latest end_date. So I think I need something like
max(project.end_date) somewhere in create view to make sure only one record for one employee.
Also is there possible to include the no. of assigned field(select count(*) from project where status='assigned' and emp=emp_no) into the view as well?
Q3 All the fields mentioned above are diaplay-only. So Can I create a control block which has all the fields from emp and project. Then populate them with my sql. The question is
where I put this customerised sql so when user click excute query. My sql will run and display one the form?
REally appreciated your help!

OS X lion USB Thumb Drive - will this work on new Mac Mini or MBA (2011)?

Hi All,
Not to be confused with the other similar posts, I am interesting in only clarification of what build comes with the USB Thumb Drive now available on Apple Store - will this work with new MBA and Mac Mini?
Thanks,

KeanuReeves wrote:
From what I have read about the usb installer, it is not intended for you to try booting from the stick after wiping your hard drive. You are to click on the installer
You may be correct, but this statement is quite confusing in that context:
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.
So, if the Thumb drive is supposed to take the part of the Recovery partition, it seems that it should be able to boot. However, the license agreement still requires an Apple computer running Snow Leopard, so maybe it isn't bootable.

Will this work to determine the system byte order?

I need to be able to determine, preferably without relying on conditional disable symbols, whether the system on which a VI is run uses big-endian byte order. What I came up with was to flatten a U32 containing 0xDDCCBBAA to string using the unknown system byte order, and unflatten using a big-endian byte order. If the pre- and post-flattening U32's are equal, the system must be use big-endian byte order. Two questions:
1. Will this work? It recognizes, correctly, that my PC does not use big-endian byte order, but I don't have any big-endian targets to test it out on (see #3).
2. Is there a better way? Perhaps something already built into LabVIEW?
3. Would somebody with a big-endian target verify that my VI detects it as big-endian?
Thanks,
Mark Moss

You can simplify your VI a little. Since you know what the result of the string flattening should be in big endian, just compare the string.

Mac Mini, Sonology NAS, And Apple AirPort wireless router, Will this work?

[IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL256/13533814/24272354/405877013.jpg[/IMG]
OK, so my plan is to create a home movie server for the living room and the kitchen as illustrated in the diagram. I Plan on using a mac mini (current generation) as the liaison between the NAS and the receiver. I will install XMBC on the mac mini’s as a movie organizing software. I will use the iPad app to control and select movies from the system. This setup will repeat in the kitchen with the exception that I will connect the mac mini directly to the television in which the audio out will go to a jack which connects to the in ceiling speakers. Will this work? Are there any other suggestions that anyone has to make it more streamline? I also assume that there can be simultaneous movies being watched in both rooms via the NAS. Thanks for all of your comments and help

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

Switch to 2X Xeon 5680 6-core, Will this work?

Hello
My current set up of a 8 core 2.26 Xeon mac pro (Early 2009) has been giving me insufficient power for what i need to do. I am not willing to pay for the apple upgrade to only 2.93 for an 8 core, so I am considering upgrading to two six core 3.33 GHz Xeon X5680's, or two six core 2.93 GHz Xeon X5670's. (I chose those because i'm guessing two i7 980 processors won't fit on a Xeon board). Totalling 12 cores.
The question comes down to, will this work, will the processor fit in the socket? If so, what is involved, what risks are there, what changes would need to be made? Would it work on OS X, or would it only run under windows, etc? Or would it not even work at all?
(And i'd rather not buy a PC with that money.)
Thanks
