Noob needs help using/managing large font collection in os10

Hope this is the correct forum for this question. I'm a os10 noob starting at a new, small startup design-oriented biz (6-7 macs) that needs to manage fonts - 100s, over a 1000. Other places I've worked used Font Reserve and I'm familiar with that program but I never knew if it came with os10 or you had to go buy it, and if you needed to buy a separate copy for each computer?
I'm trying to help get this biz set-up, but I know NOTHING about font usage/set-up in os10. I've always used ATM Deluxe4.6 (os9) and have over 2000 fonts nicely arranged in sets (took me an entire day, way back when). Would love to transfer these arranged sets into os10, if possible.
Is there a built-in font mgmt in os10? Is it any good for large collections? Is Font Reserve a good program for large font collections?
I don't even know where os10 stores fonts or the right questions to ask. Pls point me in the right direction!
TIA

Fontbook is ok for dealing with a handful of fonts on an occasional basis, but for pro design work you should run, don't walk, to: http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorerX/
FontExplorerX beats the pants of any other font management tool I've used on the mac after many years of ATM, Suitcase & Font Agent Pro. FEX looks and feels like an "iTunes for Fonts" - it's fast, stable, clean and simple to use and best of all for a small biz (like me) - it's FREE! :O

Need help on setting large fonts on iphone 3g s

I have looked at the new iphone 3g s, and think I would like it very muuch. However, since I am somewhat visually impaired, I need large fonts on ALL categories on the phone, e-mail, contacts, notes, etc.
I have looked at the phone at my local Apple store, but cannot find a way for the fonts to become larger. I go to settings, set the font to GIANT, but then NOTHING changes when I then go back to contacts.
I have tried the Zoom program, but that seems too complicated. I currently own a Kindle, and I love it because I merely hit one button, and I have the availability of 6 DIFFERENT FONT SIZES. Why isn't this type of software available for the iphone?
I want to buy the iphone, but cannot unless I can read all data on the phone easily. ANY HELP OUT THERE IS APPRECIATED.
Dan

Copied from this link regarding the Zoom option.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#accessibility.zoom
Many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific elements. For example, you can double-tap or use the pinch gesture to expand webpage columns in Safari. Zoom is a special accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any application you’re using to help you see what’s on the display.
If the Zoom feature seems to complicated for you, then you don't have any other option with the iPhone. More than likely it would not seem so complicated to you after using it for several days or for a week or two. The iPhone can be returned for payment credit within 30 days after the purchased date, less a 10% restocking fee. And the AT&T contract can be cancelled within the same 30 days with no penalty.

I need helping using iAds in my application.

I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable?
What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream.
They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
want to be put in to it. Currently I have to make vi's that are
called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
the code and send it to them. This is somewhat of how the config
file is set up so I know how to make the data.
Data_Type foo
Bytes 30
parameter_name
function
   byte#          format
sync
foo_sync
29               int
time
foo_time
1,2,3,4    double
If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
to recompile the code atleast? Were I might just be able to make
the new function and send that to them.
Any Idea would be great.

Need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database

Hi. I need help using dbms_scheduler to submit an immediate job on the database. Essentially I want to issue a one-time call to an Oracle Stored Procedure - this procedure will then send an email. I've never used dbms_scheduler before, but here's what I have so far.
So my Program is a stored database procedure named 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify', but my problem is that I need to pass 3 parameter values to this job each time I run it. This is what I can't figure out. The procedure expects an 'Id' as number(5), begin_dt as a date, and end_dt as a date.
How do I pass these values when I run my job? Can anyone help?
begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_program(program_name=> 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
     program_type=> 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
     program_action=> 'TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify',
     number_of_arguments => 3,
     enabled=>true,
     comments=> 'Procedure to notify PCM of a Dropper Vacation Conflict. Pass in Dropper Id, Begin_dt, and End_dt');
end;
begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
    (schedule_name=> 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
     start_date=> trunc(sysdate)+18/24,
     repeat_interval => 'freq=MINUTELY;interval=5',
     end_date => null
     comments=> 'Runtime: Every day all 5 minutes, forever'
end;
begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_job
    (job_name => 'JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
     program_name => 'PROG_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',
     schedule_name => 'INTERVAL_EVERY5_MINUTES',
     enabled => true,
     auto_drop => true,
     comments => 'Job to notify PCM of Dropper Vacation Conflicts'
end;
/And I use this to execute the job as needed...
begin
    dbms_scheduler.run_job('JOB_DROPVACCONFLICTS_NOTIFY',true);
end;

Large font collection; is font mgmt software necessary?

I've been using Macs since the beginning in a graphic design context. I have a large font library, which I manage with Suitcase Fusion. In the early days, such font management was a necessity to allow the Mac to run efficiently. Now, with the advances in the OS, I'm wondering if my iMac running Yosemite can handle a 3000 font library without 3rd-party font management software.

I stopped using font management software years ago. It was certainly needed prior to OS X. Perhaps early versions of OS X ran well without it too. At some point I got tired of the frequent Font Suitcase “upgrades” that seemed to be little more than making the software compatible with a new version of the OS.
The one reason I can think of for continuing to use the software is if you have font’s categorized by task. I spent a good deal of time using OS X’s internal system of categorizing fonts. Where time = money, in such a case, the money spent on the program might be worth it.

Need help in finding a font for a logo

I was looking for help in finding a font for my logo. I'm not a designer at all, so I'm calling on all the fine designers and folks on the Adobe site to help me out. All replies are, of course, appreciated and any suggestions/comments/ideas will be welcome.
I'm designing a logo for my film company. I wanted to keep it simple but not boring either. I put together the first draft of the logo using Photoshop CS3 and used Trajan Pro for the film company words (Panthera Films) and used Futura for the slogan ("Inspiration through Imagination"). While I don't mind the fonts, it's simple but, alas, too boring. I love the panther image but need a dynamic font for "Panthera Films" and a complimenting font for the slogan.
Can anyone recommend a good combination of fonts to replace the Trajan Pro and Futura? As well, I want to give the logo a nice presence without it being too loud, bold or jumping off the page. As well, should the font for "Films" be the same as "Panthera" or can they be different?
The image I attached is something I was thinking to use as a banner on a website.
Any help would be appreciated too with this
TIA,
Dale

Dale,
As I said, I like it too.
You may consider making it a bit heavier, maybe bold, for readability at small sizes.
It is hard to recommend a specific font because it should represent your company and what it stands for. Have you tried typing the name in a word processing application (Worst or something better) and then running through all the font you have? If not, that might give you a few new thoughts about the overall kind of font you feel is the right one. And then it is much easier to recommend something.

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.

Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro.

Need help using WEB module in Lightroom 2 for .mac/mobile me accounts

Hello,
I need help in finding the Server path information for Lightroom 2. I am trying to use the Web module of Lightroom and build a website and instead of going through another hosting service, I want to use my Mobile ME account, can't I do that?
I have the user name and password obviously but what is the server path, protocol, path?
Help please!
Thanks
Ray

For those Mac Users using iWeb, MobileMe, and Lightroom 2, here are step-by-step instructions on how to create a web gallery in Lightroom, upload the gallery to MobileMe, and finally, how to link the uploaded files to the wesite you created in iWeb.
1. In the Lightroom Library module, create a collection of photos you want to display in your web gallery. For illustration purposes, we will call your collection Sunsets. Once created, it will be listed under Collections in the left panel of Lightroom.
2. Switch to the Lightroom Web module and select the Sunsets collection (from the panel on the left of the screen.)
3. Chose whichever template you like (from the list of Templates in the left panel).
4. Fine tune the appearance of the gallery using the controls in the right hand panel of Lightroom 2.
5. When you are satisfied with the gallery’s appearance, use your keyboard to type Command-S. That will save your template settings (give it a unique name when saving).
6. Open up Finder on your Mac. Inside your username folder, create a new folder… I'll call it Web Files. (You can choose any name you like, and locate the file anywhere on your Mac HD.) You have just created the folder username/Web Files.
7. Back in the Lightroom Web module, chose Export, at the bottom of the right panel, and export your gallery to the folder you just made (e.g. export to username/Web Files). By doing so, you will have created /username/Web Files/Sunsets.
8. Once again open Finder on your Mac. Go to /username/Web Files/Sunsets and you will see 3 files in the Sunsets folder: bin, index.html, and resources.
9. Open a second Finder window and in it, click on your iDisk icon. You will soon see all of the files on your iDisk.
10. In iDisk, click on the folder called /Web. You will now see the /Sites folder inside the /Web folder. I.e., /Web/Sites.
11. Drag the Sunsets file from your Mac HD to the /Sites folder on your iDisk. E.g, drag Sunsets from /username/Web Files/Sunsets on your Mac HD to the /Sites folder in iDisk /Web/Sites. The Sunsets folder (and the three files it contains) will now upload to your iDisk on MobileMe.
12. Open iWeb on your Mac. Add a new page to your website. Call it “Galleries,” or anything you like. (You can also use an existing page if you wish.)
13. On that “Galleries” web page (or on an existing web page), create a picture icon, or a word, or a symbol, or anything else that you will activate as a hyperlink to your iDisk web files - specifically, you will link it to the Sunsets folder you just uploaded to iDisk.
14. Activate the hyperlink in iWeb’s Inspector. In the URL box, type:
http://web.me.com/username/Sunsets (Don’t forget to substitute your name for “username” and the name of your gallery for “Sunsets.”)
15. Save your website in iWeb, and then publish your site.
You will NOT see your gallery in iWeb – you will see only the link to the gallery that you uploaded to iDisk.. To view your gallery, either make hyperlinks active, using the Inspector in iWeb and click on he link to the gallery, or visit your website on the internet. If you want to edit your gallery, you will have to do that in Lightroom… then repeat steps 7 – 11. You cannot edit your gallery in iWeb, but you can use iWeb to change the appearance of the link to your gallery, or to change it’s location within your website.

Need Help Using JTA / Tyrex

I am unable to find any sample code for using Tyrex's Transaction Manager and the JTA API. Can anyone help me here? There are a few things I need help with, but if you can help me on any of them that would be huge!
1. Setting up / Configuring Tyrex
2. Adding MS SQL as DataSource (and Transaction Domain? It's not clear what that means exactly) (I have the beta JDBC driver from MS)
3. Writing Code to execute a DB statement inside a transaction
4. Writing Code to make an object I create participate in a transaction, i.e. you can rollback setting something on my object. e.g. if you an object MyObject had a default "age" of 10 and you called MyObject.setAge( 25 ); and then called trans.rollback(); and then MyObject.getAge() it would return 10.
I looked on Java.sun.com for some info on using transactions but it appears that they do NOT want to promote Java developers learning the transaction API in that depth. Rather, they'd prefer that you only use the JTA as a client, e.g. through EJB Containers. Does anyone know of some tutorials or something on this stuff any where? I want to write my own transactionable objects/system but there's almost no info anywhere. And Tyrex's website has next to nothing in help too!
- Robert

There's been several discussions on the tomcat-user mailing list mentioning Tyrex recently. I have no idea if they're relevant to you, but I remember seeing them go by and wondering what the $#$%)(%^ Tyrex was... <grin>

Need help using Apple Remote Desktop for remote family members

I am new to ARD and need help. I know there are solutions to do what I am trying to do through LogMeIn and Teamviewer - but I have LogMein right now and the free edtition is going away and I think Teamviewer will do the same sooner or later. I have remote desktop but hadnt used it, so I thought it would be a good thing to implement so I wont have to worry about paying fees for services like LogMein or teamviewer down the road. Long story short I need to be able to remote help friends and family members with their macs and using applications, mostly through screen sharing and control and file sharing. All of the folks id like to help have home ( not business style ) internet service whith DHCP and non-static IP's. I have set this up for myselft to test it and I can be at work and search my homes IP address and I can see all the macs with ARD on them and it all works perfectly. I have a mac mini running Lion Server so the ports are forwarded to that server at my home - this is the only think I can think of that is making my home work and my friends not. But when I try to help my friends and family after I type in their IP and it scans it sees their computer - ( it shows a grayed out icon and their IP ) but nothing else. I cannot control or screen share. It says it cannot verify. I helped my friends put the ARD client ( most up to date client ) on their macs as well. I was hoping that using ARD would mean not haivng to set up my friends and family's routers for port fowarding and all those details. Is there anything I can do using ARD to be able to type in my friends IP address have it scan and then see all their MACS at their home and pick the one that needs attention/ help, without port forwarding or heavy set up ? I guess the root question here is how or what is best way to set up ARD to be used to help people remotley when they are all home users as well, no port forwarding, no static-IP, that kinda thing.
Any help is appreciated - Im trying to use ARD and not a 3rd party app since im afraid even if they are free now they wont stay that way. Please let me know throughts and sugesstions ;p)

I poked around a bit and the file seems to be:
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
I'd like to get some confirmation from Adobe that this is the correct file to push, though (it seems like it as it only contains this):
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

MD doing reserach on Genetic Mutations, I really need help on this, I have never used PL/SQL. Can somebody help me with this?
I have a view made of mulitple table that has following columns: diagnosis, patient_id, kindred_id, column_d, colum_e.... column_p where each distinct combination of column_d to column_p means one specific mutation. I want to group patients who have same mutation to find out the following:
for each mutation(unique column d through column p), I want to find out how many families have diagnosis 1, diagnosis 2, diagnosis 3...
The rule is the program will look at kindre_id first, to see if this person's kindre_id has been looked at. If
so, jump it/ignore it. If this kindred_id has never been looked at, treat it as a unique family. Diagnosis count for that diagnosis will then increase by 1. Sounds easy, but I don't know how to write that for loop that will do for each unique (column d, column c, ... column p) do the following... Does such a thing exist?

Hi,
SELECT     diagnosis
,     COUNT (DISTINCT kindred_id)     AS family_cnt
,     column_d
,     column_e
,     column_f
FROM     table_x
GROUP BY     diagnosis
,          column_d
,          column_e
,          column_f
;     produces this output:
DIAGNOSIS FAMILY_CNT COLUMN_D   COLUMN_E   COLUMN_F
         1          2 abc        bca        acb
         2          2 abc        bca        acb
         3          2 abc        bca        acbwhich is the data you want, but not in the format you want. You want to pivot the family_cnt column from the three rows into three columns in one row. For general information about how to this, search for "pivot" on this or similar sites.
One solution is:
SELECT     COUNT (DISTINCT CASE WHEN diagnosis = 1 THEN kindred_id END)     AS diagnosis_1
,     COUNT (DISTINCT CASE WHEN diagnosis = 2 THEN kindred_id END)     AS diagnosis_2
,     COUNT (DISTINCT CASE WHEN diagnosis = 3 THEN kindred_id END)     AS diagnosis_3
,     column_d
,     column_e
,     column_f
FROM     table_x
GROUP BY     column_d
,          column_e
,          column_f
;     which produces the following output:
DIAGNOSIS_1 DIAGNOSIS_2 DIAGNOSIS_3 COLUMN_D   COLUMN_E   COLUMN_F
          2           2           2 abc        bca        acbThis technique assumes that you know exactly how many different diagnoses there are and what the distinct values of the diagnosis column are. (I.e., in this example, I knew that that there were three diagnosie and that their values were 1, 2 and 3. I used that information to write three COUNT expressions, with values 1, 2 and 3 hard-coded into them.)
So, what can you do if you do not know the diagnosis values? The columns have to be hard-coded into the query, so how can you possiblly write something today that will have all the values that are in the table next month? You can't, but you can write something today that you can run (unchanged) next month which will write such a query. In other words, you can do dynamic SQL, where you run a preliminary query to get the different diagnosis values, write an appropriate query similar to the one above, and then run that newly-created query. The PL/SQL command "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" can help with this.
The code above works in all versions of Oracle. In Oracle 11, there is a more straigtforward way of specifyng PIVOT in a SELECT statement.

Need help using 1440x1080 footage in a SD 4:3 timeline

Hi Folks,
I need to use some AVCHD footage in a normal SD 4:3 timeline destined for a dvd. I'm trying to figure out the best workflow. The client provided a usb hard drive with some files extracted from a Sony hdr-sr5. I know the first problem is ingesting these files. I'm on a PPC G5 so I know using the L&T window isn't an option. I have experimented with using Toast to convert the files to ProRes 422 and that seems to work to some degree. I'm probably not doing it correctly because the footage shows up in FCP looking somewhat squished down and with letterbox bars above and below. In Toast the files indicate that they are h.264 1440x1080. When viewing in the Toast Video Player they get 'expanded' to 1920x1080. So I'm not sure why the footage gets letterboxed when converted to ProRes. So I guess that's the first part of the problem.
The second issue is that I just need to use the center crop of the image in a SD timeline. It's just talking head stuff so there's no problem cropping down. But I'm just not sure I understand the correct procedure for doing that once I have the footage ingested in the proper format.
I could definitely use some guidance here as the whole AVCHD thing is new to me.
Thanks,
Chris

Can't help with your first question, but create an sd 4:3 timeline. Drop your hd footage into it. It will come in letterboxed. In the motion tab, remove any distortion, scale and position to your liking
