Problem with Spreads

I have a 6-page newsletter that was created in two, 3-page spreads for the print house. However, I now need to prepare it for online viewing and it needs to be in three 2-page spreads to accommodate some across-binding images that exist. I have "Allow pages to shuffle" checked in the pages tab, and I can drag a page away from one spread (leaving behind a 2-page spread) but the one I drag attaches itself to the other spread and it then becomes a 4-page spread!
How can I move the pages around to create the correct layout I need to online viewing?
I am using ID CS4 v. 6.0.5 on a Win XP Pro sp3 OS.
Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated!

Scott,
It depends on your perspective.
Allow Pages to Shuffle mean the user allows InDesign to shuffle the pages automatically. It makes it possible for the program to do more -- not the user...
Maybe "Allow Pages to Shuffle Themselves" might be more to the point, but that gets pretty wordy...

Problem with spreads - urgent!

My problem here is that when I want to print my 18-page document, InDesign have decided to make these 18 pages in to 10 spreads.
The result of that is the printer printing 2 pages in one page, in stead of what I want; 1 page on 1 page, thank you!
I have tried to make a new document with the same amount of pages and so on, but it still won't work.
How do I turn it off? Please help me, it's for school and kind of urgent...

I am having a similar problem. I am using CS5 and am making a portfolio, for online submission. I want the portfolio to be viewed online as spreads, but be printed out as 8.5 x 11's. This is because I am not in charge of printing out the document, I have to give it over to someone else as a part of an application. I have tried all the ways suggested in this thread, but have not been able to achieve my goals. I feel like perhaps this is something that needs to happen at the level of the PDF in a program like Acrobat if it is possible?

Problem with 'spread the word' badge?

I used the first (smaller vertical) badge at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ on my Wordpress blog but although it shows the badge, it also shows the second half of the HTML: "var pfsNextImage = "https://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/plugincheck/wb/en-US/180_150/safe.png";var pfsUpdateImage = "https://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/plugincheck/wb/en-US/180_150/upyourplug.png";"
If I remove that part, it just shows the badge, but do I lose anything but not including the part I've removed?
The whole code is:
<pre><a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/"><img id="mozilla_plugin_checker_badge" src="https://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/plugincheck/wb/en-US/180_150/loading.png" width="180" height="150" alt="We can check your plugins and stuff" border="0" /></a><script type="text/javascript">var pfsNextImage = "https://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/plugincheck/wb/en-US/180_150/safe.png";var pfsUpdateImage = "https://www.mozilla.org/img/covehead/plugincheck/wb/en-US/180_150/upyourplug.png";</script><script src="https://www.mozilla.org/js/plugincheck_badge.js"></script></pre>

Thanks for replying. My blog is at http://adeunsheep.wordpress.com/
You will see two versions of the badge on my blog, on the right sidebar. One is 'cleaned up' where I've removed the script tag (and the link seems to work fine), the other, further down, shows the badge with the whole text including the script tag.
Not sure what "inspect the page source" means but I've tried both 'view page source' and 'inspect element' on the text both on the Firefox page where I found the badge and on my blog (from within the widget placing area, on the blog itself logged in and logged out);
'view page source' shows red text, namely numbers preceded by a #, forward slashes (/), &amp, &gt,   (there's also a lot of blue and purple, and some bold black);
'inspect element' shows no red text.
As I say, I've found a workaround but figured it was worth pointing out. I must admit I don't understand how the link works without the script tag but then, I'm a complete novice where code of any sort is concerned!

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

Excel Problems with Mt Lion

Funny with an Excel file with many sheets (14) on my 17" MacBook Pro, using Mail, if I click on the Excel file to open it, all I get a sheet however all the data does not display in the Excel file.
However if I take the same file and drag it to my desktop, letting it create a new file then open the file all the data is in the Excel spread sheet.
Just wondering if any one else is having a problem with Excel, Mail, & Mt Lion?
thank you for any reply John

I've upgraded to Leopard and also have had difficulty printing in excel (using Office for Mac 2004 Student/Teacher Ed)....Word, Powerpoint, and Entourage all print fine.....and I print fine off the internet and in Apple iWork (Numbers, Pages) and in "Mail" . REally strange.....
I am able to open files in excel, but cannot print them....
I'm a former PC guy.....very set in my ways (I was) until I bought my wife an iMac G5 last year, before Intel came out. Anyway....she loved the Mac so when my Laptop hard drive fried, I decide to take the plunge and am I glad i did......
I'm frustrated about this glitch with excel in Leopard....but for those of us who have attempted to (and succeeded) upgrade Microsoft Operating systems (though you never really succeed....Microsoft just keeps fixing things...with new patches or new service packs!).....well you know what I mean....upgrading to Leopard was a breeze.....I just wish I could figure out this problem with printing in excel!
I would drop excel and just use "Numbers", but I work with all PC users (using various versions of Office) so I need to make sure they can open my "Numbers and Pages" files and even amend them if needed,...which I don't know they can do??????? i know I just jumped subjects here...but anyone have any thoughts on this too?
To summarize:
1. problems printing in excel with Leopard upgrade on macbook.
2. can PC users with Office 2004 (I don't think any use the new 2007)....open my files from email if I generate them with Numbers or Pages?
Thanks,

Problem with the FOR statement.....again!

Hi everyone,
Well I'm still trying to do a car slideshow using external
files and can't seem to see the end. The current movie is here:
http://www.virtuallglab.com/projects.html
I also attach the code. My problem is I had originally set up
an animation with 2 pictures sliding in with some text, and then
wait 4 seconds before sliding out, and then next pictures and text
would slide in and so on, using a setInterval.
The problem is the FOR loop seems to skip the setInterval and
the function "wait", so it just loops quickly and jumps to last
picture, so on the example above, it just slides the last picture
(i=9) and that's it!
Can you not include another function within a FOR statement.
Or is there a way to tell the FOR loop to wait until all motion is
finished?
Any help greatly appreciated
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
for (i=0; i<10 ; i++) {
var picLeft = "pics/"+i+".jpg";
var picRight = "pics/"+i+"b.jpg";
var txtToLoad = "text/"+i+".txt";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("leftHolder",1);
leftHolder.loadMovie(picLeft,i,leftHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
leftHolder._x = -200;
leftHolder._y = 15;
var leftTween:Tween = new Tween(leftHolder, "_x",
Strong.easeOut, leftHolder._x, 10, 2, true);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("centerHolder",2);
centerHolder.loadMovie(picRight,i+"b",centerHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
centerHolder._x = 180;
centerHolder._y = 250;
var centerTween:Tween = new Tween(centerHolder, "_y",
Strong.easeOut, centerHolder._y, 15, 2, true);
text._x = 600;
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
text.carText.text = this.content;
myData.load(txtToLoad);
var textTween:Tween = new Tween(text, "_x", Strong.easeOut,
text._x, 420, 2, true);
myInterval = setInterval(wait, 4000);
function wait() {
var leftTweenFinished:Tween = new Tween(leftHolder, "_x",
Strong.easeOut, leftHolder._x, -200, 1, true);
var centerTween:Tween = new Tween(centerHolder, "_y",
Strong.easeOut, centerHolder._y, 250, 1, true);
var textTween2:Tween = new Tween(text, "_x", Strong.easeOut,
text._x, 600, 1, true);
clearInterval(myInterval);
***************************************************************************************** ***

There is no way to tell a for loop to wait. That is not what
they do.
The entire for loop will execute (if possible, and it doesn't
enter some kind of continuous infinite loop) completely before each
time the frame is rendered.
If you want to spread things out over time you need to use
the setInterval -- but not inside a for loop! If you do that you
immediately set however many intervals as your loop has. In this
case you will also assign the ids for those intervals to the same
variable, effectively overwriting the value so you will never be
able to clear most of those intervals.
So you need to rethink you whole structure. Set up some kind
of counter and limit like this:
var slidesToShow:Number=10;
var curSlide:Number=0;
Then have your setInterval increment the curSlide each time
it is called and check to see if it has shown all of them. That is
where your "loop" comes in.
As for the other part of your question -- yes you actually
have two different issues going on -- again you cannot make a for
loop wait for anything. So no there is no way to pause it while you
wait for your tween to end. But you can be notified when a tween
ends.
Check out the documentation about the tween class in the help
files. There you will find the onMotionFinished event. So you can
set up one of those to start whatever needs to be started when the
tween has finished.
You should also use the MovieClipLoader class to load your
images, because you have no idea how long it will take to load
them. Using that class you get a nice event (onLoadInit) that tells
you when the asset is ready to be used.
Finally I'm thinking you might want to use setTimeout instead
of setInterval. It only goes once, while setInterval repeats
forever. So I would think your algorithm would be something like
this.
1. load external asset
2. when ready animate in and set onMotionFinished handler
3. when motion is finished start loading next asset and
setTimeout for 4 seconds.
4. when 4 seconds is up or the clip is loaded (which ever
takes longer) go to 2 and repeat.
If this is going to be run locally on a hard drive or CD you
won't have any problem with the length of time it takes to load the
external assets, but if it is over the web it will take time.

ITunes 11.0.4.4 crashes when I play certain songs and the problem is spreading.

Ever since I downloaded iTunes 11.0.4.4 (for windows 7), the program has been crashing whenever I play certain songs and at this point the problem is spreading, more and more songs that weren't problems before. I have been through just about every troubleshooting step I could find more than once, reinstalling, safe mode, conflicting programs... if a solution out there was even vaguely related to my problem, I've probably tried it. The only modification that I've made to the program is enabling 1/2 star ratings, and I don't think that's the problem because the earlier versions of itunes worked fine with it, and I've tried temporarily moving the itunes preferences xml to make it generate a new one, and it didn't fix anything.
My library has over 14,200 tracks so I can't possibly delete and then re-add all the problem tracks to iTunes, and even if I could, I've tried doing that with a small number of specific songs already, and while it worked at first some of them have started making iTunes crash again at this point.
I understand that the problem is most likely that my library is corrupted, but I'm very wary of the solutions to that problem that I have seen because I have had to use them before more than once, and each of those times I've lost thousands of songs (last time it was 5,000 tracks) in the process and a shockingly large percentage of the tracks came back disorganized and improperly labeled (some of them as 4 letter strings of capital letters that I can't seem to identify without using shazam) and without ratings ( I have "keep iTunes files organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" in preferences checked.)
It takes a huge amount of time to redo the information for the amount of tracks I have even if you buy software to help automate it, and it would take me 5.7 days to redo all of the ratings I've done, and ratings are important to me. I've added a lot of new tracks since then and my library is still 2,000 tracks smaller than it was before i had problems last time. The solution scares me enough that I've put it with the crashing for two months now, but it's getting unmanageable. If anyone can give me a way to fix this that would leave my library intact, or at least minimize the damage, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks.

I found this and it worked!!!

I had this exact same problem. I found a fix on another support post that worked perfectly for me. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. Then browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. My iTunes store is working fine now.

Problem with netflix after upgrading to firefox 6

now that I have upgraded to firefox 6 I can't instant watch netflix anymore. please help I'd rather not have to use a different browser to do this.

'''SOLUTION'''
The problem with Netflix streaming with the FireFox 6.0 version is that the Netflix service '''refuses '''version 6.0 because they are A) unwilling to license it '''''or''''' B) too lazy or stupid to add the new version to their User Agent acceptance scheme. C) under contract to MICROSOFT to use Silverlight and part of Silverlight's DRM is what Browser versions are acceptable and Microsoft is taking their sweet time updating Silverlight to push I.E. on people and if you have Beta 5 Silverlight forget that -------Until Netflix accepts Firefox 6.0 as a legitimate Netflix browser '''you may do what I have done to get Firefox 6.0 streaming at Netflix.'''
1) Open Firefox 6.0 and enter "www.whatsmyua.com" without quotations in the address bar and highlight and copy your present User Agent string from the top of that page when you get there.
2) Type "ABOUT:CONFIG" without quotations in the Firefox address bar and hit enter then answer the You might destroy the world question with Alright I'm ready.
3) Right click on the background of the Config screen and then highlight to click on the "New String" choice... When the box comes up enter "general.useragent.override" without quotations and hit return
4) When another box appears paste in your current User Agent string you copied in step 1) BEFORE hitting enter place your cursor on your paste and right arrow to the end of the line. EDIT/REPLACE "6.0" with "5.0.1" without the quotations. Enter your change and close out the Config page.
5) Repeat step 1) to make sure the User Agent string is now spoofing your browser as version 5.0.1
6) Go to Netflix and watch movies (Make sure Silverlight and the Firefox Java are on). If it was working before the upgrade, everything should now work again streaming Netflix with Firefox 6.0.
7) Call Netflix and tell them Dave sent you to see if they're stupid or just lazy and to quit spreading the B.S. that Firefox 6.0 ain't workin when we know it's Netflix (1-866-636-3076)

How do I disable future iOS updates till later date to prevent problems with non iOS compliant Apps?

Hello first time post here so excuse me if my posting etiquette is off and this seems lengthy.
I am a beginning tech (4 months) in a school district that has started the 1 to 1 initiative with iPads (iPad 2).
There is a huge learning curve I am facing as I don't know hardly anything about the new piece of software - apple Configurator. (A side note I was issued my very first iPad in the same time working for the district. BTW liking the iPad a lot).
I am looking for friendly beginning user info on how to operate the Apple Configurator - suggestions? At this time I have only served in an observer capacity as it assigned to someone else in the district to do. However I know this person would appreciate another mind to help out around the problem so I need to get up to speed.
This a story of bumps and scrapes and bruises on the 1-1 initiative in the district and its 4 major hiccups have occurred (that I observed).
I am hoping others have discovered these problems and figured out a way to handle them or avoid them and would be willing to share what you did.
Here goes...
The district started the 1-1 initiative roughly 3 years ago. They had a person in the middle school (way before me) in charge of the iPads. They used the IPhone Configurator device to manage the iPads. My understanding was this was very slow. That person was finally able to retire and took their knowledge they had of the iPhone Configurator utility that they used with them.The district chose to start using the Apple Configurator software this year for iPad management.
We have a brand new person that has been put in charge of this. The person did not know the software either (nor did anyone else in the district).This person has made great strides to learn the software. However there has been some issues along the way:
        1. The school where the iPad 1-1 initiative is a middle school. The students are assigned the same iPad for all three years. As 6th graders come in they are issued an iPad. As the 8th grade finishes up, they head on to high school and the iPads gets recycled to the next 6th graders walking in the door. Each grade level has there own set of apps, so the (finished) 8th graders iPads get reset for the next 6th graders walking in.
The issue is (my understanding) is that the volume purchase apps did not always revert back to the Apple Configurator/App store spread sheets before the iPads were reset. It took an act of congress with Apple to refund these apps because they were lost. Mind you we have 400 iPads in just this school alone so you can see why it was important to get these Volume Purchase Apps refunded to put on the new 6th graders iPads. $$$
         2. When the iPads were given to the students, the Apps would not work and all they would do is shake for a second. The iPads were recollected and redone. Time away from the students and classes.
        3. The iPads were refinished (with all the apps reinstalled) and given to the students. Then the students were given instructions in class how to manually setup their exchange email accounts on their iPads. Turns out the restrictions on the iPads (from the apple Configurator) were set up so the email info they put in could not verify with the exchange server. They wouldn't send or receive. So the iPads were all recalled back (time away from students and their classes again) and redone with the restrictions/ apps reinstalled.
        4. Most recent problem... iOS6 came out and all of a sudden we find out that two of our biggest 3rd party Apps were having problems with it. So it made the Apps at that point worthless. (These are paid for - expensive, most used by the school Apps). Well there was no way to prevent the students from updating to IOS6 on their own (mind you they can't get to the App Store) but they can do the iOS6 update whenever they want. Before the problem was discovered, students were prompted by their iPads and they started doing the iOS6 update. I discovered this and immediately had the secretary send out emails to everyone do not download this thing because it was making problems for existing installed Apps. Of course there are were a few more students that were like "this don't apply to me right?" and they downloaded it anyways.
So after 3 weeks of these apps not working, App update/releases were finally given and they are working again. So far we have only fixed some of iOS6 kids that are in need of those two broken apps.
Now we are at a crossroad with the other 95 installed apps to consider ... if we let the students update to iOS6 to fix the two broken apps will it interfere with the other 93 apps that are working under iOS5.1...
This iOS update thing would be better considered in the summer time for us (for future iOS updates).
So I need to know is there away to prevent this in the future? Is there away to hold off the iOS updates till summer? I've seen people say control it by blocking it through the network but it doesn't prevent them from doing this at home. Where in the apple Configurator can we control this?
Thanks for reading.

You will not be able to block IOS 6. You can try blocking it with a webfilter or firewall but if the students take these home or connect to another network or iTunes they can get it that way.   You will find that the vast majority of all apps will work with 6 or have been updated to work with it by now.

How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
It is inconsistent.
Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run

# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks

# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
# ends. If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
# by searching the archives.
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
# but it doesn't. For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok. Anyone using
# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations? Drop me a note if
# so.

# dumptypes
# These are referred to by the disklist file. The dumptype specifies
# certain parameters for dumping including:
# auth - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
# Valid values are "bsd", "krb4", "krb5" and "ssh".
# Default: [auth bsd]
# comment - just a comment string
# comprate - set default compression rate. Should be followed by one or
# two numbers, optionally separated by a comma. The 1st is
# the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
# If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
# The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
# compressed file is expected to take up.
# Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
# compress - specify compression of the backed up data. Valid values are:
# "none" - don't compress the dump output.
# "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
# "client custom" - compress using your custom client compression program.
# use client_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
# the custom compression program.
# PROG must not contain white space.
# "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
# probably slowest) algorithm.
# "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
# algorithm. This may be useful when a fast
# tape host is backing up slow clients.
# "server custom" - compress using your server custom compression program.
# use server_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
# the custom compression program.
# PROG must not contain white space.
# Default: [compress client fast]
# dumpcycle - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
# full dump should be performed. Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
# estimate Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
# "client" - Use the same program as the dumping program,
# this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
# but it can take a long time.
# "calcsize" - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
# result is less accurate.
# "server" - Use only statistics from the previous run to
# give an estimate,
# it takes only a few seconds but the result is not
# accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
# Default: [client]
# encrypt - specify encryption of the backed up data. Valid values are:
# "none" - don't encrypt the dump output.
# "client" - encrypt on the client using the program specified by
# client_encrypt "PROG".
# Use client_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
# parameter, default is "-d".
# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
# "server" - encrypt on the server using the program specified by
# server_encrypt "PROG".
# Use server_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
# parameter, default is "-d".
# PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
# Default: [none]
# exclude - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
# Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
# Valid values are:
# "pattern" - a shell glob pattern defining which files
# to exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
# list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
# re's (1 per line) defining which files to
# exclude.
# gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
# Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
# filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
# gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
# the final dot!) Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
# diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
# want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
# the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
# Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
# If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list,
# it is searched from within the directory that is
# going to be backed up.
# Default: include all files
# holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump. Useful for
# dumping the holding disk itself. Default: [holdingdisk auto]
# "never" - Never use the holding disk.
# "auto" - Use the holding disk if possible.
# "required" - Always use the holding disk.
# ignore - do not back this filesystem up. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# index - keep an index of the files backed up. Default: [index no]
# kencrypt - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
# Default: [kencrypt no]
# maxdumps - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
# Default: [maxdumps 1]
# maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't
# want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get
# overpromoted.
# Default: [10000]
# priority - priority level of the dump. Valid levels are "low", "medium"
# or "high". These are really only used when Amanda has no
# tape to write to because of some error. In that "degraded
# mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
# are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
# disks are at least dumped. Default: [priority medium]
# program - specify the dump system to use. Valid values are "DUMP",
# or "GNUTAR". Default: [program "DUMP"].
# record - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
# program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
# /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.).
# Default: [record yes]
# skip-full - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
# outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
# skip-incr - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due. This is used in
# archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
# the tapes saved.
# starttime - delay the start of the dump? Default: no delay
# strategy - set the dump strategy. Valid strategies are currently:
# "standard" - the standard one.
# "nofull" - do level 1 dumps every time. This can be used,
# for example, for small root filesystems that
# only change slightly relative to a site-wide
# prototype. Amanda then backs up just the
# changes.
# "noinc" - do level 0 dumps every time.
# "skip" - skip all dumps. Useful for sharing a single
# disklist in several configurations.
# "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
# to strategy 'nofull', but will increase
# the dump level as usual. Full dumps will
# only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
# has been issued
# Default: [strategy standard]
# tape_splitsize - (optional) split dump file into pieces of a specified size.
# This allows dumps to be spread across multiple tapes, and can
# potentially make more efficient use of tape space. Note that
# if this value is too large (more than half the size of the
# average dump being split), substantial tape space can be
# wasted. If too small, large dumps will be split into
# innumerable tiny dumpfiles, adding to restoration complexity.
# A good rule of thumb, usually, is 1/10 of the size of your
# tape. Default: [disabled]
# split_diskbuffer - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
# mode (usually meaning "no holding disk"), buffer the split
# chunks to a file in the directory specified by this option.
# Default: [none]
# fallback_splitsize - (optional) When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE
# mode, if no split_diskbuffer is specified (or if we somehow
# fail to use our split_diskbuffer), we must buffer split
# chunks in memory. This specifies the maximum size split
# chunks can be in this scenario, and thus the maximum amount
# of memory consumed for in-memory splitting. Default: [10m]
# Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way of
# defining parameters.

I have the same issue, Amanda. The weather widget that comes with the Ally was poorly written. The time issue is bad enough, but it takes up more screen space than is visible. Try it, if you touch and hold on the space below the widget, it will select it. This also means you can't add widgets or icons directly below it, resulting in a great deal of wasted space.

Problems with exporting .jpg file in Indesign CS3

Hello! I've used Indesign to create a memory book I would like to now place in another program to have printed (blurb is the company I'm using). Now that I have created the spreads I need to export each page individually as .jpg files, so that I can place them in to this other program to have them printed. (The program does not read .pdf files...they have to be .jpg). I exported each page and noticed that about 20 out of 90 have pages that have black bars over some of the pictures. I'm not sure how to remedy this problem and have tried changing some settings but unsuccessfully so. I've also had problems with Indesign crashing when I've tried to export the entire book as a .pdf. Thanks for the help!

I think I've seen that reported before, but don't remember if an answer was found.
HOWEVER, InDesign's jpeg export leave a lot to be desired under any circumstances, and the best method is to export a good PDF (Use one of the presets intended for printed output) then open that in Photoshop using appropriate settings (if you have body copy sized type, I'd recommend using 600 ppi to keep it realtively crisp, but the printer will probably complain about the size of the file) then save as a high quality jpeg in whichever color profile is recommended by the printer.
I know you said you had some trouble exporting the whole book as PDF, but maybe we can solve that if you give some more details.

Problem with exporting a report to excel vial citrix server

Hi,
We are encountering a problem with exporting a report to excel through ALV local file icon.A spread sheet is downloading only one row (From header) instead of many rows from the ALV output .
Above is working fine for the GUI installed on my PC, but not throgh the Citrix server.
Can any body have idea on above mentined?
Regards,
SK.

I understand that you're trying to download the file to a local computer through Citrix. In this case you need autorizations in Citrix for your user ( CItrix user)

Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!
