Ok, this is just a little weird - would like some comments/help please

Ok, I've had some of the same problems with my imac system and the premature ejecting of my external drives (for whatever reason), and I managed to solve that by setting up the system to put them in "Sleep Mode" when possible. Now however, just this morning, I received the same message along the lines of "A disk has been ejected improperly" yada, yada, yada. The drives were no longer visible on the Desktop and at that time I was busy doing something else, so I put OFF going through the normal unplugging of the firewire cable....etc., then I went on with my business at hand, and within 5 mins, I hear the drives power up and low and behold, the icons reappear on my desktop and everything is fine, and this is without me doing anything. So I'm just wondering that if my original problem, and possibly others' original problem, stemmed from something within OS X? Comments and/or suggestions as to what this may be, what may be causing it, how I can stop it, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply...however, I had no problems with these drives AT ALL until the 2nd to the most recent update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. As mentioned in one of my posts here on this thread, I've had this iMac for about 4 years now (the drives I've had longer) and have used these same drives with this same Mac for all of those years, and I've had no problems at all until such time as described above...so I'm not sure what to think about the problem that has developed except that there has maybe been a change in OS X on the way things are handled with external drives. At least this is the way it looks to me now, I'm not trying to state it as FACT, just my observations over the last 4 years has led me to think this way.

5 Different movies have been deleted from my Itunes account. They have been purchased and downloaded to my Ipad. I cannot watch them on my desktop that I used to download them in the first place. This has just happened over the last week. How can I RE-download them back to my desktop computer. I will need them for my new Ipad3.

Would Like Some Advice/Help on How to Start Backing-Up...

Hey-
I am getting a new MBP 17" for architecture/city planning grad school so I needed a lot that the 17" MBP had. I am not too excited carrying it around campus unless somebody rally turns me on t a nice bag to carry it in.
what I really am here for, because I have never backed up before, is to start learning about backing up. I do not want to pay $100/yr. for MobileMe and I think to use an external drive seems the most practical-except I am really hard on stuff so I would need a heavy duty case. Also, the FW 800 for the CAD program and other 3D programs (forget that, the school pays for those.)
I understand there are basically (minus the DVDs, CDs) 2 main ways to back up and they are archival and clonal. Anybody have any feeling on one way or the other? I am tending to go with the one that will not require another purchase of a program (the clonal system). But as you can tell I have very little experience with this backing up part. what happened to the ones that did not produce tapes which had many if any moving parts? The less moving part in this type of stuff think the better, but who am I you all are saying, hey?
Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for the top of the line headset for the MBP when I am trying to study I need or do better with some good jazz or Blues tune in the background and the speakers for the MBP will be mini ( I saw a small black pair in the Apple Store the other day) and a great ear phones for an iPod for exercise. I am looking at the iPod Classic but I hear it has a moving drive so if that is true, I better look for something else like the Touch. Anybody have trouble with the iPod Classic skipping when they were lifting weights, doing flexibility and some cardio like the Precore elliptical or something not too hard on the joints?
Any recommendations in these areas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi One2Two,
For a backup drive I'd be looking at something like THESE in the 750 to 1.5 TB range with the "Quad" interface if you are going to be needing space for CAD files etc .
These are very good enclosures, run cool and quiet (no fan needed). I have several of the equivalent model sold in Australia (under a slightly different name) and they have proved faultless. Very well built, a little larger than some other options, but extremely reliable. I cart one or two of mine around on rough bush roads in the Australian outback fairly regularly (I'm an anthropologist) It is also easy to simply upgrade the internal drive at a later date.
For software, in the first instance, you can't go past SuperDuper - http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/
This lets you create a bootable clone of your HD and then easily update it either manually or through an automated schedule. Probably the most popular backup software amongst the "Level 4's" and "Level5's" on the Apple boards if recent discussions are anything to go by.
Many of us , though , complement it with an additional backup using Apple's own "Time Machine" (which will come free with your computer), either to a second drive, or , a little less safely, on a second partition of the same drive used for SuperDuper.
Time Machine essentially creates a quasi "archival" style backup - letting you revert to earlier versions of files etc over a period determined by your available disc space.
The combination of the two is pretty hard to beat.
The free version of SuperDuper will create your first clone, and you can continue to use it, but the "shareware" version is the one you want. It is not at all expensive and does a brilliant job.
Cheers

Hi I dont really want to start a discussion but would like some quick advice please!

I m using a imac 28inch, and recently been working with the creative cloud. my main problem is working with dreamweaver, finding after awhile that if i move the page about it leaves a strobic static effect after , leaving the screen difficult to work with! would this be down to wifi or ram?

Strobic static effect?

To whom it may concern, Since I have downloaded the Firefox update for my phone. I have not been able to copy and paste. I would like some info on this. Thanks

With the previous version of Firefox for my mobile phone it had the gingerbread copy and paste system and now I am not able to do so at this point. I just want to know how to copy and paste with the new update version of Firefox for my mobile phone. I have a Samsung Infuse. I would like some input on this. Thank you and much appreciated.

Sorry, the new user interface in the latest update did not have selection/copying of text ready in time for its release. We're working on adding it back for an upcoming version very soon. If you'd like, you can already start testing it in our [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Nightly nightly development builds].

Can this be done somehow? I would like to see an App or Apple guidance were I can identify my name or number to certain phone contacts that I can choose from within my address book?

Not sure what they offer in Canada, but I use Google Voice. It provides a phone number that will ring through to your phone (or multiple phones if you want). There is a free app you can use to place calls so they appear from your Google Voice # instead of your 'real' number.
I use the Google # for business calls/texts and only use "my" number for personal stuff. Google gives you control over things like call screening and allows you te set timers for when it is permitted to ring through to your normal number, which is great for business calls. If I'm not on call, I keep the timer set to shut it down except during business hours.
Might be worth looking into.

I would like some help in determining the proper structure/implementation

I would like some help in determining the proper structure/implementation for the following scenario:
I have ~10 steel rods that have been equipped with a strain gauge. The most I would have is ~30 steel rods.
Each setup has had a 10 point calibration done.
These steel rod/strain gauge setups are assigned a calibration number.
The data would be grouped for each steel rod and identified by the calibration number.
I would like to use that calibration data to determine the Young’s Modulus for each steel rod and store that within the specific rod’s information.
I want the user to be able to add new steel rods dynamically and the Young’s Modulus calculated and stored with it.
There are two different types of rods.
The cross-sectional area of the rod needs to be stored and that value is constant based on the rod type (so there are two different area values).
After a rod’s calibration data is entered the first time, the data should be static so it doesn’t need to be re-entered.
The user would enter the cal#, the 10 point calibration data, and the rod type.
The user will only see the steel rod cal# on the FP.
I am using a queue-based producer/consumer with event structure for the front panel interface. So I’m thinking whenever a rod cal# was added I would call a subvi where the calibration data can be entered and then the Young’s Modulus could be calculated and stored. An option to edit/review existing cal data should be available.
LabVIEW 2010, Win 7.
My initial idea was:
Rod Arr – array of clusters:
Rod Info - cluster:
Calibration number – string
Rod Scale cluster:
mV/V – double array
force – double array
Young’s Modulus – double
Rod type – enum
Cross-sectional area – double
I have not implemented this because I’m not sure how to implement that AND keep the data after it’s been entered. And all of the bundling/unbundling anytime I want to access/edit any rod information can be BD consuming. I thought a lookup table might work. When I looked on the forums for a lookup table I was pointed in the direction of arrays/clusters.
So I have two questions:
What would be the best structure for the steel rod data?
What would be the best data type for the calibration# that the user can edit (enum, ring, ?)?

I would make a couple of small change to your proposed data layout (highlighted in blue):
Rod Arr – array of clusters:
Rod Info - cluster:
Calibration number – string
Array of Rod Scale cluster:
mV/V – double
force – double
Young’s Modulus – double
Rod type – enum
Cross-sectional area – double
For the calibration data, I would have an array of clusters rather than a cluster of arrays. IMHO, this makes it easier to index through the calibration points, and makes it less likely you will ever have a situation where you don't have the same number of mV/V and force points. I'd also move the Young's modulus, type, and area info into the Rod Info cluster.
I prefer to store this type of configuration in the system registry, but that is more complicated and far from universal in the LabVIEW world. A simpler way would be to simply pass the entire array to the "write to binary file" function. If you do this, however, you might want to add a version number, otherwise it will be very difficult to maintain backwards compatibility if you ever need to change the data structure.
As far as the control type, it depends on what the user is entering. If the user is mostly entering calibration numbers already in the system, I would use a (system) combo box. This allows the user to select an existing calibration number from the menu, but also to enter a new calibration number if they need to. If the user will almost always enter new calibration numbers, then I would use a standard string control. Either way, you'll probably want to validate the format of the number the user enters.

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.

yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.
