Newbie questions - pausing, downloading from my CDs, qual

I'm considering the Zen Micro or another of their portable music/media players. I want this mainly so I can listen to my Spanish language CDs more easily while commuting.
Is it possible to transfer my Spanish language course CDs onto one of these players--and if so, what is involved? And is one model player better for this than others?
And can I easily pause during playing, and then start again, as needed for this langague course.
Also, can I download my music CDs onto this player?
Finally, I've read the reviews on Amazon for the Zen Micro. There were lots of rave reviews, but also a great many complaints about the quality and reliability of Creative products -- enought so to make me take pause in buying. What do people think?
Thanks, David.

How to recapture content downloaded from my CDs

My old computer died & I now have a new one. I was successfully able to download the latest iTunes & access my purchased content, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access the music I downloaded from my CDs. The Help content said I could do it if both computers have the latest software, but the old computer is dead, so that won't work. I remember doing this several years ago, & all I had to do was to log into my account & the content was there. Help!

As you have found, that only applies to the music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store. For the rest of your Library, you should have made a backup, on an external hard drive, or to an online service.
I think you may have to import the CDs again.

HT1329 I have music that I downloaded from my cds on my very old Ipod. How do I save this music to my library? I havent updated this since I purchased a new computer so I have music on my Ipod that is not in my Itunes library. I don't want to lose this mu

I have a very old Ipod probably 12 years old. It could be the first or second generation. I have music on it that I would like to put on my new one. I have not updated this Ipod since I purchased several computers ago. How do I put the music from this Ipod into my library. It is music from CDs I own. I really don't want to have to take all that time to redo that again. Can anyone tell me how to do this. I would like to update my library with this music and update this old Ipod with new music for use in my car. It works great and does what I need it to do so I can't see tying up my new Ipod or Iphone when I want to use it in my car. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me. Thanks

Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

Itunes opens, can download from my cds, but cannot buy songs...

I know this sounds stupid but I had already done that. I synced using the manual instructions (both with USB lead and wifi) and then searched in video and music tabs for files. Nothing there. My PC shows the files are on the iPad (under devices/iPad on menu) but I can't find them anywhere. Neither can I find anything in the manual to suggest where else they could be.

[Newbie question]: create polygons from linestrings...

I need a good place to start using Oracle Spatial and Topology functionalities, so... my goal is this: I'm creating a table with SDO_GEOMETRY as linestrings; some of these linestrings are closed, and i need to build a topology and then extracts the polygon geometries build and create a new table with this polygons.
Here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14256_01/sdo_topo_concepts.htm#i885918) i've read how to create a topology from spatial data, ut i'm unable to find how extract SDO_GEOMETRY elements like polygons from the topology itself...
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance :)

Great question! One of the member functions for the SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY type is GET_GEOMETRY() which simply outputs a Topo geometry as an SDO_GEOMETRY. Hence, if you wanted to output SDO_GEOMETRY from a parcels feature you could do the following:
select a.feature.get_geometry() from parcels_poly a;
Hope this helps.

Newbie Question - Learn FrameMaker from scratch

Hi All,
First of all, apologies for the cheesy screen name
I am an IT developer at an MNC in India and want to move to technical writing. I do have a brief formal technical writing experience before and have published an engineering course ware book too. I have good MS Word authoring skills, but I have never worked with FrameMaker.
Now I want to learn FM, from scratch!.
Can anybody here point me to a good source for a complete FM newbie? (with good Word skills)
Any good book
Video channel on youtube (highly needed, since in the day time, I have my job and I only have 26 days left for the trial )
Any other online resources / PDFs etc
I have started by looking at this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/index.html But it seems like it is for FM experts / intermediates. Frankly, I thought learning FM would be easy, but as I browse through the questions in this forum, I realize it's a sea not a pond / puddle as I had initially thought of
Any sort of help would be highly appreciated. I am using the latest version, FrameMaker 12.
Thanks in Anticipation
- Navin

Hi Navin,
You can check out some of the videos on the AdobeTV TechComm Channel at http://tv.adobe.com/channel/technical-communication/
The best reference book currently available is "Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 11" by Matt Sullivan and Sarah O'Keefe. For an ePub see: Books - Scriptorium Publishing or order the book from Amazon: Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 11
There also is the Adobe Classroom-in-a-Book series that has a version for FM11 by Barb Binder. For an electronic version see: Adobe FrameMaker 11 Classroom in a Book (don't get the Kindle version, the layouts are hard to read/use - the PDF is much better).
There's an online training course available from lynda.com. See: Watch the Online Video Course FrameMaker 10 Essential Training
VTC has a FM9 training video series available at: Adobe FrameMaker 9 Course Online
The basics don't change, so even FM9 training is quite valid for FM12,
Note: all of these refer to using FM in an unstructured mode. If you want to learn Structured FM (DITA, XML or even SGML), then you'll still need to understand the basics that unstructured FM provides.

Newbie Question about downloading and installing Firefox

Hello,
I recently downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.3, got it all set up and used it for a while, I am the admin on this machine, my wife is the only other user, I logged in to her acct to make sure that FF was there, but it wasn't?? Thought maybe I should reboot, after the reboot, no firefox on my acct or hers! Completely disappeared, can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on?
Thanks in advance,
oldhoghead

Common n00b mistake (joking about the n00b remark)
It looks like your running the program (Firefox) from the mounted dmg file. When you download Firefox, (and many other apps) it downloads as a .dmg file. Now, you probably have dmg files set to mount automatically when downloaded which is OK. You are probably launching the program from that mounted dmg file which is not OK. Here's what you need to do:
After the dmg file mounts, instead of double clicking it, drag it to your Applications folder and launch it from there. That's it. Oh, it'll also be available to all your machine's users as well.
Good Luck.

Install cd isn't recognised, question about downloading from s

Hi there!
We bought a Zen V Plus, 4 gig yesterday and I installed the cd on my computer no problem. Our laptop is not recognizing the install cd for some reason. The cd dri've is fine and we can play games, listen to music but it doesn't like the install cd. It's a winxp service pack 2 laptop.
We downloaded the driver from the site but I'm wondering about media source 5. Do we get the one that's on that page? It seems that it's media source 3 or something.
Thanks for the help

You can try cleaning your installation CD to see whether it hel
ps.
If it doesn't, then the next best thing your can do is to duplicate the CD using the other system that you have (assuming that you have a CDR dri've in the other system).

Newbie questions: 'extracting' values from a single column. Is it possible?

Hello everybody,
I'm a pretty newbie user of BI 11. I would like to know if it's possibile to aggregate values by filtering different values in a same column. As my English is quite bad, let me summarize my problem with an example:
Column A - Number of Recevived Calls -- Column B Caller's Satisfaction Rating
A: 12 - B: Good
A: 25 - B: Average
A: 100 - B: Perfect
A: 35 - B: Not good enough
I would like to be able to do some math with single scores as, for instance, to group together good, average and perfect scores and remove the not good enough scores, or, another example, I'd like to calculate the percentage of GOOD ratings on the total number of calls.
Anyone can help me? I'm a simple user of the BI frontend, so I don't have access to the underlying database structure.
Sorry for any mistake I made in my English writing and Thanks a lot in advance.

I assume Column A is a measure. In the edit formula for this column, highlight the column and filter it based on column B. For example you might to filter all the calls for 'Good' then you may divide it by total no of calls or something similar. It might look something like this -- Filter(table.column A USING (table.Column B = 'Good'))/Sum(table.columA)
you might want to use a combination of case statements as well depending on what you want to achieve.
for example -- case when table.column B='GOOD' then sum(table.column A) else (sum(table.column A)/(case when table.column B='BAD' then sum(table.column A) end))end
Give it a try, hope this helps.

Newbie question: Running Parallels from Boot Camp on separate drive

All: I'm new to the Mac world, so bear with me. I'm awaiting arrival of a Mac Pro that has two separate 250GB drives. I plan on running Parallels because there are certain Windows apps that I need to access periodically--but not enough to open up Boot Camp separately. Someone suggested the following, but I need help in figuring out how this works:
+"...install Boot Camp on another internal drive (Since you have 4 drive sleds build into the Mac) and run Parallels from that Boot Camp volume. This way you have a dedicated drive for Windows, so its faster and its not using the boot drive at all. You can boot to it natively if you really need the speed and power for gaming or just use Parallels when your in OS X."+
So in other words, if I already have two drives, I can have my main drive running normal Mac apps, and then if I need to run Windows, I install Parallels and all my Windows apps, along with Boot Camp and Windows XP, on the second drive and use it from there whenever I need to run Windows??

I don't think BootCamp allows an installation on another drive, but Parallels and other software will.
You might repost this in the BootCamp forum where there are many more users running Winders under all kinds of 3rd party software.

Newbie question about downloading files

Is downloading extra updates, music, etc, risky for your phone, in regards to glitches? Does adding too many applications slow things down?

Anything can cause a glitch these days. Always do some research before downloading and installing something.
You can have many apps installed but, running all of them can slow it down a bit.
Make sure you close your apps when done.
Music should not affect it if stored on the memory card but when you play them it will scan all the files for changes and that might take a bit if you download a lot at once.

Music downloaded from my cds to my ipod touch are gone.

I lost over 400 songs. Do I have to redownload them? How can i find them? not very computer savvy.

All if your music should be on your computer as that is where it came from in the first place.
Also, it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
If it is not on your computer for some reason, then use your backup copy to put everything back.

Newbie Question - Creating DVD from Premiere to Encore with 2 audio tracks

Hello and thanks for your time,
I'm pretty new to all this but seem to be getting the hang of things pretty well but one problem I'm having I can't seem to find an answer to.
In Premiere I am creating a dvd of a football game, i have the video with an audio track of the crowd and another audio track of the commentary. These are all edited together fine and work well. I then use the dynamic link to send the sequence to Encore and that's where the problem occurs.
I can't seem to get both audio tracks to appear in Encore? Any suggetions or tips on where I might find an answer?
cheers for the help and time
Ian

Ian,
This is not a cure to the issue, but is a workaround. It's the "old-fashioned" way that things were done before DL.
Export your Sequence as elemental streams, i.e. video-only and audio-only. Import your video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and teh audio-only file as an Asset. From Project Panel, drag the audio to the appropriate timeline. Done.
Now, exactly what you choose for your Export and even how you do this will depend on your Project in PrPro and also your source Assets. For SD material, I'd choose DV-AVI Type II video-only (no multiplexing), and for the Audio 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV. If you have a version of PrPro prior to CS4, just Export Movie (settings above) for the Video and Export>Movie (or AME) for the Audio (settings above). Just make sure that the Export Video is checked for the DV-AVI, but the Export Audio is not. Change these two checkboxes for the Audio.
Now, for DL not working, as it should, what is the format of your source Audio? Do you have any Channel-mapping used? Does your Audio Mixer Panel show everything right there? Do you have one Audio Track either Muted, or Bypassed. Look in Audio Mixer, to make sure you do not have one Track Solo'ed.
Also, what version are you using, CS3, or CS4? Note: for CS4, you will use AME for the Exporting in the first part of the post.
Good luck,
Hunt

Newbie Question about Markers from FCP

I'm trying to make markers, compression markers and having problems. I was able to make the first which was at a fade out and then in to the next sequence, but when I tried to create the second marker in the same way, it didn't work. Also, do I need to make chapter markers if I'm making one movie that will not have any menus. The dvd should just open and play the video right away and then continuously loop. So, I thought I should just make compression markers where there are edits and fades. I've been reading the manual, etc., and I'm confused. Sorry, but anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.

The compression markers are really only there to signal to Compressor that a new GOP is needed at that point, because there is a sequence which requires special treatment during the encoding process. They don't carry over as markers into DVDSP's timeline.
You don't need to add markers to anything in FCP if you are not setting up chapters on the DVD. Even if you are, you can still add markers from within DVDSP if you then find that you need some (although they rarely get frame accurate placement once in DVDSP).
When you import the footage to DVDSP and add it to a track there will be a single marker at the start of the track - this is normal, and necessary! Don't try to delete it.
