Odd Question - About CD Space & Waveburner. . .

Hi.
Ive posted this in the waveburner forum and had no reponse so i thought maybe someone in here would be able to help.
My first problem was that Waveburner didnt accept files that were more than 2GB so i had to compress my file down using quicktime and get it into waveburner. I originally had a 2hr long DJ mix, which i cut down to about 65 mins. . .
I then cut it into all its tracks and named it all. . .
When it came to burning it said that there wasnt enough space on the CD. It then said (633MB Needed). . .
Does this mean it needs 633MB more or it needs 633MB in total. . .
I thought CDs were 700MB?
Anyone that can shed any light on this would be really helping me out a lot!!!
Cheers, B

Hi,
You compressed in Quicktime? What exactly did you do? take a large file and squish it into a smaller-size type of file? Like an mp3?
A 2 hour DJ mix is a 2 hour DJ mix. what did Quicktime get rid of to make it 63 minutes? That's weird... it does not make any sense to me. you just let Quicktime edit out parts of your mix so it ended up at 63 minutes? Unattended?
But then you state you "cut it into all its tracks and named it all"... so you edited it into individual songs, which TOTAL how much time? 2 hours, or 63 minutes?
From the "error" message you got, i think you still have 2 hours of material, in which case I recommend you only do ONE CUT, and have less than 80 minutes of the first part one CD 1, and the rest on CD 2.
It will all together NEVER FIT ON ONE CD. EVER.
Cheers

Questions about tabs, spaces and indenting

I tried to find some information about this in the forum, but I didn't succeed (perhaps I failed at the search). My apologies if this a trivial topic, but as I'm in the learning process of programming (I started with Python and php myself, and Pascal at college) this is a new world to me.
Yesterday I was editing a txt file in Vim, and I encounter a few issues trying to print it. That's when I learned that tabbing all the way thought to format some text maybe is not a good idea. Then a guy in #Vim directed me to use spaces instead of tabs for indenting and formating the text / programs that I write, as the tab indenting is -almost- only needed by makefiles. Also he showed me than in Python programming it is suggested to use spaces as well.
I googled a bit and I found sites like this, with pros and cons about both styles. Also I found a Vim plugin (Smart Tabs) that at first sight seems quite nice, like it have the best of both worlds.
So my question here is: what should I do? Choose one style and stick with it for ever? Choose according the language? Mix up both? Without any experience on this subject it's hard to know the right way, as it seems that both styles have (strong) advantages and disadvantages.
Also, if is not too much no ask, what tab size should I work with? 8 seems a bit large, although seems to be pretty standard for some languages.
Currently I've this on my .vimrc (the relevant part, of course):
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
set smartindent
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, I think to "choose one style and stick with it" is the most important thing.
I always use two spaces to indent because I like the way it looks. Besides makefiles, I don't use any language that forces me to use either tabs or spaces, so that's not a problem.
I really like this quote:
Linus Torvalds wrote:If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
(from Wikiquote) After reading that, I don't think about indentation as much anymore.
Sorry for my English. Feel free to point my errors.

Q: How to properly shutdown part/all of VDI? and question about disk space

Hi again. I was able to get the VDI to work, but yesterday I changed the ARC parameter both in the storage and the xvm server (not sure in which is needed to be changed) and restarted both machines, to my surprise, the templates and the cloned VM had disappeared, so I was wondering if there is a proper way to shut down parts or the whole VDI? is there a sequence? and, of course, how to then turn everything back online ...
How to make things permanent or at least, to export them so one can then import them back after the reboot?
I did not find this in the documentation, the vdi3.pdf, if it is somewhere else, plz provide me with the link.
also...
I was curious that I could not see the space being used in the storage server:
root@australia:~# df -kl
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
VDisksPool 202890010 19 202889991 1% /VDisks
rpool 58603340 78 58603262 1% /rpool
root@australia:~# ls -l /VDisks/
total 0
but acording to the VDI page, the storage is being used at 3%:
Storage:
Number of Storages: 1
Total Capacity:200.32 GB
Usage:3%
how to check this? where is the space being used?
thanks in advance

If your database is the same version of mySQL on the MAMP as
on the server,
then you should be able to just export it from one and import
it to the
other. If not, you could try doing something similar to what
I describe
here:
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/lazy-loading-tree-example-file-posted.html
in the steps that start: "Download the rtf translation of the
mySQL database
table..." and "Open the classification.rtf you downloaded
and..."

I'm not sure, but I think you might wind up having to make
some adjustments
to it. For instance, is the user name and password identical
on your server
and your MAMP installation? If not, you'll have to edit some
of the
connection data.

This may well be because the type of person who writes these

Question about SSD space? And BootCamp?

Ok, so I installed BootCamp a while ago because I wanted to have a Windows partition and to play games and such on my MacBook Air (2012). The game I wanted to play is relatively large; about 23 GB + or - a few gigs, and I knew that I should include some extra space in there for updates and other stuff. So, I put about 30GB on the partition. When I went on it, there was only like 10GB free!!! So, I kept increasing and increasing until now, I have a like 48.5 GB partition to hold a 23 GB game with only 7.3 GB free. So:
1) Where did all of the rest of the storage space go?!
2) I noticed I think 10 GB or so is in the "Windows" folder. Can I compress this? Will it damage/mess up the Windows Partition? I want to free up some space, but I don't want to break anything.
3) Can I REMOVE a few gigs from the Windows partition, or do I have to start over? If I start over, will I have to redownload my game and all that?
Section 2
I have a 128 GB SSD MacBook Air. I thought that it would be plenty of room. However, I just got a new iPhone, and within a month and a half, I have taken over 2,100 pictures, which takes up numerous GB. So, if I want to back up my iPhone and iPod and all that, I will need a lot of space on my computer. However, I have a Windows partition taking up about 48.5 GB as I remember, so that's about 40% of the entire amount of space on my computer. So, I had a 72 GB portion or so on my Mac side. I thought that this would be enough, but I somehow only have like 28 GB left. If I keep taking pictures, want to back up things, get apps, etc., I would like to free up/add space. So:
1) I know this sounds stupid (I thought I was good with computers and Apple technology, but I just wanted to make sure) ... but is there any way to permanantly add extra SSD space onto my Mac? Because there's the option to upgrade your Mac to like 256 GB which would be awesome, but as far as I know, this is only online, with the more expensive version of the 13" MacBook Air, and I don't know if you can do this with the computer already bought and installed and all that. So, is there any way to add space? Like not free up space, but ADD it?
2) How does the whole Time Machine/ Pass port thing work? If I transferred 10 GB of stuff to Passport or whatever, (1st of all, is it a USB?) if I plugged it in to my computer, could I easily transfer stuff back and forth? Would it take a while?
i) If I had a game on my computer, happened to have Passport or something, and transferred the files to Passport... (this will be a long question) once I plug in the Passport, could I launch the game? Or would I have to transfer the files back to the desktop...
a) Basically, what I'm getting at is... If I had a game's files on Passport / Time Machine / whatever it is called, if I had it plugged in to my computer, would I have to transfer files to the computer to launch/play a game, or could I just play it by putting in thing..
3) If there is a way to increase the space to 256 GB or so, how much would this cost? How long would it take?
I am so sorry about all of my confusing questions, but I just want to ask a bunch at once so I can set things straight in my mind xD
Please help! Thanks so much!

Question About iPod Space

I have an 8GB iPod Touch.
It says I have only 7.27GB available. I assume that this is because of the applications etc. taking up space.
There's the "Other" section. What exactly is the Other and how do I minimize the amount of space it takes up?

You are correct the programs and settings take up some of the 8Gb and you can't actually use all 8Gb.
I know there is a disclaimer about it somewhere and basically it says that the 8Gb claim is only an approximation and so on.
The "Other" section is where things like the new apps would be stored.

Odd question about transferring.

Ok, about 2 months ago I had no problems moving my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. So with that bravery I just tried moving iTunes and my library from where it had been to a new bigger drive, and I ended up losing huge chunks of my library. Now, my question is, I still have what I had previously sync'd onto my Pod, is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes?? Otherwise, I'm going to end up losing a whole day re-importing my CD's back into my library, not to mention lose what I had purchased from my iPod. I had just purchased 2 new TV episodes but in order to get them onto my Pod, I have to sync, and if I do that I'll lose what I have there. Help!!!

*is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes??*
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
One last thing if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an iTunes with a different content. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval method you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Odd question about engraving a shuffle

I received a Shuffle as a gift and noticed he had a message engraved on the clip. This was over two years ago. I'd like to know if he had gotten the message from the engraving gallery or if he made it up himself. The quote is not in the gallery, but since I received the shuffle long ago, it's possible Apple replaced it with something else. I can't find a way to contact Apple about this (by email, I'd rather not call about this); does anyone know how I can email them about this, so I can ask them if the message was ever in the gallery? It's a strange question, but I'm asking because it would make me feel even more special if the guy took the time to write something himself. Of course the thought, gift and engraving together are already signs of affection...poetry would make it even sweeter. Thanks.

If you got it more than 2 years ago it is not a 3rd Generation Shuffle and you are posting in the wrong place.
I doubt they have removed anything from the engraving gallery, which if I recall is a fairly recent option, although I can't be sure when it was put into place since I've never had one engraved. There is no place to email them and it would probably be hard to find anyone who would remember this anyway. So since it is not in the gallery take it on faith it was put there by the giver.
Of course they could have copied it from somewhere else. Have you tried a Google search?

A very odd question about accessing cube via HTTP PUMP

hi there:
Everything was fine a couple of days ago when I used excel to connect to cube. Today, when I use excel -> from Other sources, I can select the AS database but can not see the cube at all... The odd thing is that if I choose to use Existing Connections
which contains the connection to the CUBE before, after put my user id and password, I am able to connect and navigate cube data.
There is a role for the AS database and myself has been granted as Full control ( administrator). I've also switched to SSMS and access cube over there directly, no issues at all.
Question: why excel is not allowing me to see the list of cubes for an AS database???
Thanks

How have you setup permissions for the HTPP access. If e.g. IIS and SSAS running on different machines, the permissions settings are a little bit difficult. So may a different user is used and that one may don't have permissions to access the cube.

Question about using Spaces

Is there a way to "send-current-window-to-window-#x" with regards to areas defined in Spaces? eg. I'm often in a window (like my VM of XP in Fusion, or whatever) and I want to send it to another area in Spaces. Is there a key command to do this?
Also is there a way for an application (in this case a VMWare Fusion VM, or Safari, etc.) to default to a certain Space? Or does everything just automatically default to Space #1 and you have to manually arrange every time you boot?
Thanks!

There are several ways to move a window to another space.
One way is to display all spaces: (default is F8 key). You will see all the windows in all the spaces. Just drag the window to the space you want.
Another: Click on the title bar to move the window. While holding the window, switch spaces -- e.g., Command-Arrow. The window will go with you as you move around spaces. Drop it when you get where you want it.

Odd question about sizing...

I work for an LED message center manufacturer and we have run into a problem. We are using a new product to play DVD quality video on but we're trying to do this without connecting a computer to it, opting instead for a DVD player with HDMI output. Problem is the sign is 196x196 so when playing a DVD we only get a small piece of the picture. Is there a way with Adobe Premiere to create a 640x480 black background with a 196x196(or any size for that matter) area to play the movie in? If not would anyone know of a program that could do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm having alot of trouble finding any information like this.

Click on the clip in the timeline and reduce the "scale" in the "Effect Controls" panel. As long as there is nothing on a track below the clip you will automatically get a black border.
Cheers

Odd question about potential funny business on black berry.

Im not really sure the model but my dad thinks it is 8530. He isn't too savy on technology and after spending 45 minutes on the main site looking at features, im still uncertain. My dad believes his gf is sending pictures or messages to randoms. One of the things he thinks she does is that she will go to send a message, addressed to my father himself, but also tag along another message to a different address with differing content. They argue almost everyday and he says he finds more and more shady business and im simply growing sick of it and its causing alot of stress on us all. To top it off she passwords tons of stuff in the phone and I dont have access to it. I was wondering if what I aforementioned is A: Possible, and B: if there are other things that she could be doing. She has... history.... anyways im wondering why in the hell she would go through all the effort, why not just delete the messages...
Thx for the help and sorry this message was so long=]

Your situation is a bit confusing. If she's about to send a message to your dad, she can also forward it to other people. This bit about "tagging along another message to a different address with differing content" is not possible. One message to one person or one message to multiple people, but sending one message to different people at once with another message which has differing content to many people is not possible.
I hope I've understood you correctly and that my solution has helped you. Please post back with clarification if I've missed something.

Odd Question about file extensions

Hello, I have a strange question that I cannot seem to fix on my own.
The other week I was messing around in my Utilities folder and I was clicking on some of the applications contained in that folder.
When I closed out some of the programs that I had opened I noticed that all the files on my computer now have a suffix at the end of their names. Everything.
So before an application would say, TechTool Pro 4 it now says TechTool Pro 4.app
TextEdit.app, etc etc
I know this is a minor thing but I would like to find a way to remove this suffix that I inadvertently applied to everything on my laptop.
Thanks for the help

See if this helps. Go to Finder choose Preferences then click Advanced. See if the *Show all file extensions* box is checked. If it is uncheck it.

Odd question about calendar accounts

I have a user who has several users that want to use a calendar account for scheduling. However, they do not want to use their own calendar accounts and then open the scheduling account - the claim is that there are too many clicks.
So my main user asked the following question:
Is there a way to designate two passwords for a calendar account, with each password allowing different privileges when signed in?
I don't think this is possible, but I wanted to confirm this.
Thank you!

Michael,
I think that it is not possible. In the OID a user has only one password field. There is no standard way to achieve what your uer wants. So it has to be programmed, but I don't know how

Odd question about a replacement keyboard for HP pavilion G71326DX

I have a G7 1326DX that needs a replacement keyboard. However A frind of mine recently purchased a G72233cl and I noticed that the keyboards were basically the same, however his had a design that I like much better (Key types). My question is, Can I purchase a Replacement keyboard for the G72233cl and install that keyboard into my G71326DX. I have looked into the connection interface, as well as lined up the notches around the edges of the keyboard with pictures of the replacement keyboards, However I want to make sure it will work correctly before I make my Purchase. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Marvin Parnell

Hello MPnarnell,
The keyboard on your G7-1326dx needs to be replaced, but you want to use a keyboard for a G7-2233cl, is that correct? I will try to help you .
Comparing the keyboard section of the manuals the part number for the keyboard you want to you use doesn’t show in the G7-1326dx list of compatible keyboards. The reason being probably is because it has never been fully tested.
Now both computers are G7’s but they are 2 totally different series of G7’s so the motherboards are probably different as well. This is one of those issues where you would have to test it out and see, I don’t believe it will work but I could be wrong. Here is the part number for the keyboard that came on the G7-2233cl. (699146-001)
If you decided to go ahead and try to change it be sure to check for a BIOS update before doing so.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Odd question about albums...

Hi,
Im having a problem with iTunes, and how it sorts album.
So, here's an example- say I have an album with three discs.
I import the three discs seperatly into itunes, and it lists it as three different albums- Lather [disc 1], etc.
I want to have them listed as one album rather than three, so I change the song's tags so they all say just Lather. It still lists them as three albums.
Bit confused as to what I'm supposed to to.
Please help, as it affects some albums but not others. This technique worked with the Beatles White album, but not Zappa's lather, for some weird reason.

One thing that might help.
Take a look at the article suggested by Zevoneer.
When looking at the info for the song, take a look at the album.
You might see "Album Name disc 1", Album Name disc 2...
Change them to just "Album Name"
Also, take of the artist if files are showing up as different artist.
Hope this helps.
