One more noob question, after effects hates me today

So I used to be able to move the crusor left and right and watch my animation happen on the comp and now that no longer happens. I also used to be able to scrub a vaule like position and it would show the change on the comp in reall time while I scrubbed. Now neither of these things happens anymore which makes me think some kind of preview option has been disabled. Can someone help me with this?

OK Live Update I found it I will now retreat back to my noob cave sorry to have bothered you all.

One more noob question... null pointer why?

DoubleWrapper[] numbers = new DoubleWrapper[total];
for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) {
numbers.setDouble(getNumber(lowerbound,upperbound));
doublewrapper is a class i made, obviously and get numbers returns a string
what am i doing wrong?"
thanks

Arrays of objects start full o' null's. Initate the values in the array first.
Object[] objects = new Object[ 10 ] ;
for( int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++ ) {
objects[i] = new Object();
}

Sorry. One More OnyX Question!

Sorry. I just realized I had one more question pertaining to OnyX. When I'm on the Optimization page, it says to either "update" or "complete optimization" options for optimization. What do either of those options mean? I'm just a little scared to try any of those things if I don't know what they do.
Thanks,

Rodriguez,
If you value your data, you will sit down and understand what it means to backup your data. Lack of patience is no excuse. You'd have even more lack of patience with your machine when you lose it all. Keep at least two copies of everything at all times. Don't reformat your hard drive without making sure there are two external copies of your data. Methods of backing up vary by individual. If you are the kind who lacks patience, run a clone every night the weather is known to be good with Superduper. It has the least complicated interface. Use a couple external Firewire hard drives at least the size of the internal hard drive to make the clone. An iPod is not a backup, since software copying music from the iPod to the computer is unreliable.
Upgrade only when you need to, and are aware that everything you have works with the update before you do upgrade. And repair permissions before and after with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
Upgrade and backup only when you have no peripherals attached other than Apple's own (i.e. keyboard, mouse). A display is not affected by updates or backups, as long as there is no USB or Firewire plugged into the display.

One more ultrabeat question....

hello folks...
i have an idea which i want to try but have no clue how to get it done in ultrabeat...
so i load three samples in ultrabeat (with drag & drop) say 1.snare 2.hi-hat and 3.one more hi-hat
now is it possible to have one hi-hat in 1/8 resolution playing in the pattern and other in 1/16 resolution (at the same time) and is copied to logic when i drag the pattern of it. hope i am clear here with the question....
i am not able to do this because when i change the RESOLUTION in the lower options it changes resolution of every sample loaded (1-25)
waiting for an answer....

In short... No!
The resolution parameter affects the 'size' of each step for all sequences in a pattern.
Maybe you could program one of the parts in a second pattern set to the correct resolution, import that MIDI region, the merge the two regions.
Or maybe run 2 instances of Ultrabeat??

Update CS6 question After effects & co

I plan on upgrading my system meaning a clean new install with Mavericks, so far I'm with Lion,
So I read I need at least the Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.3 Update,
so, do I need to just install one update or do I have to go thru all of them ? 11.0.1 then 11.0.2 then 11.0.3 ?
Does this applies to other soft like Photoshop, Premiere Pro etc from CS6 ?
thanks in advance & sorry for this newbie question, just need to be sure.

Updates for Mavericks are linked to from here:

Connecting to the internet + one more Macbook question

I've just noticed that I haven't updated my profile, but I am no longer using an eMac. That machine just died on me, so I've purchased my first Macbook. I've also moved into a new apartment, and cannot get connecting using the apartment's existing ethernet connection.
My girlfriend has a cable modem and uses an ethernet cable to connect her PC. Our compters are on the same table, so we share the ethernet cable. But when I plug it ino my Macbook, no dice. Can't reach the internet. Any clues? I don't know a lot about internet connections, but I have my network settings set for a DHCP connection, and I'm told that it's all set correctly and should work. Maybe my girlfriend's connection only allows for one computer in the apartment?
One more question: I don't like the color scheme on this new Macbook as much as I did my old eMac. On this one, the whites (for instance, the background of this page) seem "too white." So much so that it hurts my eyes. When I turn the brightness down, it makes the blues and grays look dull. But when I turn the brightness back up, the whites are blinding. Has anyone else noticed this?

If your Sky router is anything like my Netgear, the problem is the way you have to enter the WEP password on a Mac. IIRC, there are a couple of options for the password format, and you need to choose the right one. I think they were Hex and ASCII. My password has to be entered as 26 characters of Hex - that's how the passkey is displayed in the router when you enter the password there for the first time.
On a Windows machine, I just key that password in full. On my Macs, I have to tell it that I'm using Hex, not ASCII - there's a drop down box with all the various options somewhere that allows you to select the encryption type and the key format.
For some reason, OS X isn't clever enough to work out whether you are entering Hex or ASCII.
If you get really stuck, you can always disable WEP on the router - log in using a wired connection (usually you type 192.168.0.1 into Safari) and set wireless security to none. Check that your macbook can now connect wirelessly, then re-enable security, making a note of the new passkey.
Might be worth doing this anyway, and choosing a more secure setting.

One more generics question

One more dumbshit generics question...
Is there a way to do this without the warnings or the @SuppressWarnings({"unchecked"})
   * Returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified element in this
   * list, or -1 if this list does not contain the element.
//@SuppressWarnings({"unchecked"})
public int lastIndexOf(Object object) {
    int i = 0;
    int last = -1;
    for(Node<E> node=this.head.next; node!=null; node=node.next) {
      if (node.item.equals((E) object)) {
        last = i;
      i++;
    return(last);
produces the warning
C:\Java\home\src\linkedlist\LinkedList.java:313: warning: [unchecked] unchecked cast
found   : java.lang.Object
required: E
      if (node.item.equals((E) object)) {
                               ^... remembering that List specifies +public int lastIndexOf(Object object);+ as taking a raw Object, not E element, as I would have expected.
Thanx all. Keith.
PS: Crossposted from the tail of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10225418&#10225418
which nobody has answered, I presume because the thread is marked as "answered".

I'm not sure you understood or if I made myself clear. Or perhaps I'm missing a vital detail in your implementation.
I'm talking about the cast to E in this line:if (node.item.equals((E) object)) {Object.equals() takes a parameter of type Object. So the cast to E is superfluous. That cast is what's causing the warning. You remove the cast => no more warning => you can remove the SuppressWarnings annotation.
Unless your E's have an overloaded equals() that takes an argument of type E. In that case you'll have to live with it.

Is it possible to exclude one video card from After Effects. There are 2 in this system and one, I believe, does not have CUDA support.

This system has 2 video cards. A new nVidia Quadra 4000 and an older BlackMagic DeckLink Extreme 3D+. I would like After Effects to use only the nVidia card so I can take advantage of CUDA. Is there a preference I can set so that AE only uses the nVidia card?

What version of After Effects do you have (down to the decimal points)?

Read this and free up 300GB or more of wasted After Effects disk cache space...

I noticed on my MAC that the After Effects disk cache folders took up 400GB of space, even though I told it to only use 100GB. I run my disk cache on an SSD so space is valuable.
I investigated and realized that every time After Effects has a new version update, it creates a new disk cache folder for that new version number (ie. 12.2). However, the disk cache folders for all the previous versions (11.0, 12.0 and 12.1) all remain on the hard drive wasting 300GB of space.
If you're not using disk cache or didn't update from previous versions then none of this will apply to you.
To empty the 12.x abandoned disk cache space...
Just click on the "Empty Disk Cache" button in the After Effects settings
You can also manually delete the 12.0 and 12.1 folders from /Users/(username)/Library/Caches/Adobe/After Effects/ assuming you have the current 12.2 version folder.
To empty the 11.x abandoned disk cache space...
This has to be done manually and is located in the /Users/(username)/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/ folder
Delete the folder that starts with /Adobe After Effects Disk Cache... (ie. "Adobe After Effects Disk Cache - Peter’s iMac.noindex")
In OSX, the User's library folder is hidden so you will have to first unhide it to manually delete disk cache folders...
In finder, go to your user home folder
Next, from the finder menu select VIEW -> SHOW VIEW OPTIONS
Finally, add a checkmark beside "Show Library Folder" in the view options window
-Pete

The manual deletion of the 12.0 and 12.1 folders is not necessary with After Effects CC (12.2). The command in After Effects CC (12.2) to clear the disk cache will clear the 12.1 and 12.0 folders, too.

Hehe one more speedfan question

Ok i realise that ive asked this before, but im sure that p2 diode is giving me bogus readings.
My p4 has the stock hs, with the shitty normal heat pad thingy and right this moment my cpu is at 30-31c (alledgedly) and my mboard at 30c (which i can believe).
Sorry to sound like a nagging old woman or something but i just cant believe my cpu is at 30c with stock hs.
Alternative settings give me 45c for cpu which seems right to me.
One more last thing what is the p2 diode?
Am i right in thinking p2 diode is built into the cpu and thermistor is part of the mboard?????????????

I was in the exact same boat as you when I originally fired up my comp...I wasn't too worried about the temp cause 45C with stock cooling sounded right...however, when I changed my hsf to the thermalright SP-94 with a vantec tornado 80mm, installed with artic silver 5, I was still getting 45C. So I re-installed the hsf to ensure I didn't do something totally crazy, fired up once more, and guess what temp I got with thermistor diode? that's right...45C. I then switched to PII diode and started getting MUCH more realistic temperatures. So believe what you like, but I'd stick with the PII diode readings if I were you...at least until a response from MSI is given.

[solved] One more conky question (convert cpu temp from C to F)

Okay, one more and then conky is finished I want to convert my cpu temp from C to F because it's just easier to understand for me, I am an american ... I've tried various ways I've found on these forums, but none of them seem to work, here's my cpu temp conky script:
${execi 1200 echo $(($(cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k10temp/0000:00:18.3/temp1_input) / 1000)) C}
Last edited by Mr_ED-horsey (2011-07-21 01:26:16)

What's the output of
cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/k10temp/0000:00:18.3/temp1_input
? It should read about 55 C.
I have no idea how the sensors work, I've never used them, but you can doublecheck the conversion using just about anything, even google: http://www.google.pl/search?q=55+c+in+f … =firefox-a

One more memory question

Hi again everybody,
I just realized I forgot to ask one more thing about memory. Does anyone know, using System.setProperty, what the command is to set the JVM to a specific size inside the program? I don't mean setting the memory size permanently, I mean setting it just for the run of the program. I'm trying to get my application not to depend on the command line so I can take it out of my IDE.
Thanks,
Jezzica85
Edited by: jezzica85 on Apr 10, 2008 8:31 PM

Yeah Kajbj I agree with you only from external side we can set the heap memory size.
As you told already it is impossible to set the heap memory size dynamically with in the program.
Suppose Task A has B,C,D tasks and we want to set different set different size of heap memory to these tasks
in this case lets have B,C and D as separate processes and invoke them from A with the heap memory sizes we wanted.
Its just an idea feel free it criticize it.
*If our tasks are as simple as the ones i have told this will be good otherwise it becomes complete mess.
Thanks

Question: After Effects 5.5 Camera won't Orbit or Track XY or Z at ALL.

I use After Effects CS 5.5 on an OSX 10.7.4.
When I try to use a Camera Orbit or Track tool, it doesn't want to do it. Never moves. It just makes that error-beep every time I click.
I want to find out what's wrong with it, what couldv'e happened and how I can get it to move again.
Thank you

Yes to all of them. However, I already found the problem...the eye icon beside it was shut off.
But thank you for your help.

One more basic question with Compound message

Hello,
i wanted to know one thing :
Using JOptionPane , or on a JLabel , sometime i need to display some message which value is a variable (i mean whole message is variable) ,
for ex.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, result, "Error", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
or
JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setText(result);
NOW in both cases "result" is variable ( a String )
HOW to localize it ?
As i understand it wont be possible to localize it.
Please suggest .
thanx for ur time and help,
Rajesh

All you have to do is store all possible error messages in your ResourceBundle files. The following is a section of my ResourceBundle.properties file:
# ParseException messages
err0 =Unexpected end of expression
err1 =Parenthesis or Bracket mismatched
err2 =Too many arguments
err3 =Too few arguments
err4 =Variable or Constant expected after an operator
err5 =Missing right brace
err6 =Unexpected comma
err7 =Invalid range name or address
err8 =Unrecognized function name
err9 =Invalid numeric constant
err10=Unrecognized operator
err11=Unterminated string
err12=Operator expected
err13=Unrecognized array delimiter
err14=Unrecognized array constant
err15=Not a balanced array
err16=Invalid If-Then-Else format
err17=Invalid Expression
err18=Named variable not accompanied by an assignment operator
Now, in a ResourceBundle for a specific Locale, the characters to the right of the equal sign (=) would be translated into the correct characters for the Locale.
The way it works in my program is that given the error number encountered, I would fetch the appropriate error message and store it in something similar to your result and display it (so it effect, result is a variable). For example:
             ResourceBundle F=PropertyResourceBundle.getBundle("myErrMsg",Locale.getDefault());
             if (j<0) {
                 errmsg=F.getLocalizedMessage("err18");
                 throw new ParseException("",errmsg,0);That's how you have to do it......
I guess what I'm trying to say is you can make result a variable to a certain extent but since you need to internationalize it, the only way to do it, as far as I know, is by using the ResourceBundle.
V.V.

Yet one more production question: search topics

This might be another pain in the rear question, but I am
looking for a way to globally replace text throughout all topics.
Does Robo have a way to search through ALL topics so that I
can replace text? (This isn't something right now that can be
handled via snippets or variables as the original text is not in a
variable or a snippet. We've decided to change some phrasing and I
am looking for keywords that I can highlight/find so I can reword
the text. I very well may be able to insert snippets or variables
during editing, but will want to locate all instances of a
particular word or phrase.)
I have about 50 - 60 separate topics in a project and I'd
like not to have to eye ball each topic in order to find the
string/phrase.
Thanks!

Hi there
RoboHelp does offer a utility called Multi-file find and
replace. But it's probably only reliable for single words. If you
want something fancier and more robust, consider BK ReplacEm or
FAR.
