Painting over patterns-- is this even possible?

Hi all,
So basically, here's the situation... I'm trying to paint on an element on a layer (belt for jeans) that has been filled with a pattern to match the pants and tie at the waist. (This is a texture map.) The problem is that PS doesn't seem to want to let me ctrl-click the layer and paint over an element that was overlaid with a pattern. If I turn off the pattern, then it works fine, but I need to be able to add more brush elements ON TOP OF the pattern. I'm not sure how to fix this, but it's going to be a problem if I can't. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Select the entire belt, add a layer above the belt, and with the belt selected, add a layer mas to the new layer. Apply your paint to the new layer, and toggle through the new layer's blend modes. Darken, Multiply, colorburn or Overlay or softlight. See what works.

How is this even possible? Folders out of sync. Backlog command says in sync.

Two 2008 R2 servers. Been running DFS-R for about a year now. Generally no problems.
If I run the DFSRdiag backlog command on either server, for one particular folder, it says there is no backlog. The only problem with that is; on one server there are 11 files in that folder, on the other server, in the same folder, there are
15 files. How is this even possible!

Hi,
Please check if DFS Replication filter some special file from replication. For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
Exclude files or subfolders from replication
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758048(v=ws.10).aspx
If the issue still exists, please create a Diagnostic Report to see if there is any error message.

Is This Even Possible? eDirectory syncing passwords with external RADIUS servers.

We are currently have a solution that allows us to use a campus RADIUS
server as the authentication mechanism for accessing the Internet. We want
to integrate this so users can authenticate with their campus IDs but gain
access to the Novell server (home directory and printing) using the same
information.
Is this even possible?
So, essentially, we would like the external RADIUS' user/password data to
be synced with the eDirectory data, but have the eDirectory receive updates
from the RADIUS (or LDAP, Kerberos or whatever system is necessary). Or is
an all-Novell solution the only possible way to use RADIUS authentication?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bryan,
As jim said, you can use idm to do this, but another option for you
might be to use somthing like freeradius and point it back to
edirectory as its authentication source.
Cheers,
Steve

I would like to share my photo's titles and descriptions in the photo streams into which I place these carefully labeled photos. I do this so clients can see the names of the things they're swiping through. Is this even possible?

I recently bought a new iMac as well as a wireless time capsule and have it connected how can I use this external drive as the location to store all my files for iTunes, or is this even possible?

New iMac user here, I recently bought a new iMac and Time capsule and have the whole network up and running now. I have connected another external HD to the time capsule as well and have a total of 3 TB of storage connected wireless to my new iMac. My question is can I use this location as the default location for iTunes? I doubt I am gonna run out of room considering the iMac has 1 TB of storage already, but I'd prefer to keep my movies and music off the Mac to keep it running smoothly. If this is possibly, I'd like to do this with iPhoto as well.

I would advise against placing your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule is designed as a backup device and not for wireless streaming of video.
Before you do anything more, can I suggest you put into place a reliable, redundant backup strategy.
Unless you are prepared to risk loss of your iTunes library due to a hard drive failure, I would not put iTunes on the Time Capsule.
Leave your iTunes library on your iMac until such time as your internal drive is full. Backup to Time Capsule using Time Machine and create a clone of your internal iMac HD to your external drive.
That's my 2 cents worth. Others may have a different opinion.

Computer crashed, need to get music off my ipod onto new harddrive. Is this even possible anymore?

My computer crashed and I got a new hardrive. I need to get my music off my Ipod Touch 4th gen onto my new computer...is it even possible anymore?

For iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
For other music you need a third-pary program like one of those discussed here:

What you are explaining is possible to do. I have designed a number of forms where I have consolidated many documents into one PDF. In order to do this to offer the best user experience for those filling the form out you have to understand the company's requirements. Are they wanting one PDF form which a user can select from a dropdown or radio button the type of form they want to fill out. Do they want a design in which the customer can fill out different forms in the same pdf and then email the final results back to the designated email address?
#1 If all they want to do is add have the form accessible via their website they just need to add the pdf form to a site page or set a link to the location of the pdf of the server.
#2 When using the mailto function what script language are you using? FormCalc or JavaScript? Beyond this, are they wanting a filled in PDF form returned via email or just the data which can be passed back to the company via XML script in the email?
#3 I don't like to incorporate digital signatures into the documents I create unless I know how they plan to use the forms and if the company's legal department approves a digital signature as opposed to liquid. The best thing you can do is check with the company's legal department to see if a digital signature on the forms you are creating is acceptable for these types of document.
#4 You had the right idea with the email button but you also need to Reader Extend the PDF form but the company or you (depending on who Reader Extends the form) needs to be aware of the licensing agreement for Reader Extensions unless one is purchased which can become expensive.
#5 As far as the forms you pulled off the Governments website, you need to create your own version of the form and incorporate into the single consolidted form you are creating.
Best of luck on this project.

Want to use an iPAD with my Pismo, is this even possible

Ok, here come the chuckles...
I have a Pismo set to dual boot in either 9.2.2 or 10.4.1with the aid of firewire which houses OSX basically because I'm still using Photoshop 5.5 which runs faster in 9 than using 9 classic from OSX. I want to do Fingerpainting on a mobile device like an iPOD or iPAD and I am told my processor (400) won't support 10.5. Apple sales just said what did I expect, I was using a 10 year old computer.
Can I upgrade the processor on the Pismo to accomplish this or has my Pismo had it's day. I love it and it has been dual booting and doing just fine now for 2 years.
I do have one more problem... none of my IOMEGA devices, my JAZ and my ZIP will not run from my old system 9 since I made the change over to dual boot and I have a lot of paintings stored on them that I would like to transfer to CDs. I know too many questions in one post but maybe someone, somewhere is as broke as I am and needs to hang on and upgrade the impossible like I do. I'd like to address these issues to those of you who can't just go out and buy a new computer and all new software. My finances are so bad right now, I'm having a hard time paying attention, so please bear with me. Any thoughts?

Here's the spec page on your G3 Pismo - http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbookg3/stats/powerbook_g3_400fw.html
The max OS on the Pismo is Tiger 10.4.x Even if the Pismo could run Leopard 10.5, it would be slow. Snow Leopard 10.6 requires an Intel processor.

Is this even possible with Bridge?

I do alot of work with Photoshop and some other products but am new to Bridge. I've been tasked to use Bridge to find a specific type of TIFF file that is being generated by one of our legacy patient record systems. It isn't in a standard TIFF format but some type of 8BPP format.
Is it possible to use Bridge to find these type of files in a directory and search all subdirectories (about 500)?
Any help would be really appreciated as I don't even know where to start.
Thanks!

It depends if that information is entered as a metadata point. Click on picture and see if that has specific data in the metadata tab. Also check the metadata in preferences to see if you have checked this data to be displayed.
If so I believe you can search the "all metadata" in Find. Type in the appropriate fields in search boxes.

Is this even possible with a selectManyCheckbox???

I know I can do one of two layouts with a selectManyCheckbox, line or page. I would like to have the checkboxes go horizontally i.e. line, but after x number of them, say 5, I would like to start a new row rather than scrolling off to the right... I see that a selectManyCheckbox actually renders an HTML table so I tried to use the pass-through attribute "cols" to set it but no dice. Anyone have any idea how to do this or even if it is possible?

I would say that you would have a device at the dsl first then connect everything else up that is needed. It would have to be wired to the dsl.

Is this even possible? (Rotation question)

Hi! I'm new to Java 3D... What I am trying to do is to rotate one transform group around another transform group. i.e. get a moon spinning the earth does anyone know how to do this? I am posting my code below.... I've searched the forums already and alas found no answer :( I've tried everything as you can see from the bottom of the code where all the "garbage" is. The actual earth has been commented out so that I can see the moon. Any help would be greatly appreiciated!! Thank you in advance! -JET

Yes it is possible. Build a scene graph where the TransformGroup of the moon is a child of the TransformGroup of the earth.
TG1 __________ Earth Shape3D
|
|____ TG2 ___ Moon Shape3D
In this way the overal transformation for the moon is the concatenation of TG2 and TG1. The transformation for the moon TG2 has to be given relative to the earth (i.e. the middle of the earth is the center of the local coordinate system for the moon).
If you want the earth spinning then build the following graph:
TG1___ TG3 ___ Earth
|
|____ TG2 ___ Moon
Put the transformation of the earth position in TG1. Put the spinning transformation of the earth in TG3 and the position transformation of the moon relative to the earth in TG2. Thus the spinning of the earth will not interfere with the position of the moon.

Is this even possible...if so advice??

Hi Everyone,
So I need to tap into the great knowledge of others on here and see if anyone has either some advice or maybe recommended resources to check on this question.
I am setting up a small business with a Mac Mini Server and my client asked me if there was anyway to set it up to have basically a redundant server going that would take over for the main one should it go down to something that required repair, like a logic board issue.
I know in large enterprise situations they have server farms setup and you can configure a setup that monitors the other units and will setup to the plate if that unit goes down automatically.
I know Snow Leopard Server doesn't have anything built-in (to my knowledge) that makes this happen, but does anyone have an idea of if/or how I could accomplish this? Say if I had one Mac Mini Server as the main unit and the second one waiting in the wings so to speak. I figured an easy way just to have a cloned unit sitting there, but it is the whole automatic aspect.
If anyone has any suggestions, advice or resources I can dig into I would really appreciate it. I would also appreciate if your response is they are bat sh*t crazy and there is no way to do this without stepping up to Xserve-land.
Thanks!

Fortunately, you're mis-informed.
Mac OS X Server has had automatic failover abilities for some time now.
You'd need two machines and each one listens for a heartbeat from its partner system. If the heartbeat fails it's assumed that the other system is offline and the failover daemon starts up whatever services you have configured to failover.
The three main issues are:
1) implementing a heartbeat network between the two machines (ideally on a separate network link, which could be FireWire)
2) determining which services should failover (it's unlikely that you need/want all services to failover since there is a cost of failover (and an even bigger cost of fallback))
3) Managing common storage elements - how to make sure both machines have the same content. For example, if you determine that you want to failover your web server you need to make sure that both machines have access to the same web content, otherwise your site will look different in a failover situation. This grows exponentially if you have a dynamic, database-driven web site since you need to consider database replication as well.
Note that 3 may be partly solved via network storage that's accessible to both machines, however you need to consider the case where the network storage fails...

Is this even possible with Automator???

I have a workflow that drains every bit of my memory and resources after it loops about 250 times in a row. I have to close out automator and then reopen it and the workflow to free up resources and continue.
Is it possible to somehow have automator close itself and then restart itself?
I'll gladly pay a pro to help me with a script or some help.
Thanks

Thanks Chris, you by chance in Los Angeles? I am. I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying, "do not do step 2 and step 6" and instead choose "command S"?
If that's so, I have no "save as source" option. It pulls up "save page as" and gives the options of:webpage complete, webpage html only, text files and all files.
I viewed each one and none will give me the source code. Even the "webpage html only" does not do it.
By the way, the forward arrow is an embedded hyperlink on the webpage, that progresses you to the next page of what is over 100,000 pages. Easily!
Any more ideas? I do currently (in step 6) have it paste to the same open word pad file. What I'm doing is very odd. I would tell you over the phone, but not on the boards. Listen, I'm willing to pay for some help, if you think you can help me.

Google Calendar (gCal) and the iPhone - is this even possible

Is it possible for me to configure gCal to work with the iPhone Calendar application? Are there any restrictions (I.e. view only, etc?)
Much thanks in Advance!
-Sig

You can do it, it takes a bit of work.
(THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE USEFUL IF YOU HAVE AN APPLE COMPUTER!)
I did it like this -
I have a Mobile Me account, so my iPhone calendar syncs automatically to Mobile Me.
I have iCal on my iMac desktop machine set to sync with Mobile Me also.
(So, so far, my iPhone and desktop iCal always match)
THEN: Use Spanning Sync - this is a 3rd party app that you install on your computer. It allows you to sync in both directions (to and from) Google Calendar.
You just give Spanning Sync the info about your Google Calendar, and it syncs it with the iCal on your computer. Then MobileMe syncs your computer with your iPhone. It works great, because I can put things onto my iPhone calendar, and they'll show up on my work calendar and my home calendar, so my family AND my coworkers can keep abreast of my schedule, and even update it for me if necessary! (Every now and then I'll get a new calendar appointment that says "2:00pm today: Buy chocolate for your wife"!)
Hope that's useful!
