Question about setting up a workstation with Aperture 2

hello, I hope I will get some help from here.
I guess first I should list the things I have, this will make it easier. I have a Macbook Pro with 10.5.6, a Samsung 24" monitor, Aperture 2, Photoshop CS4, CANON Pro9000 Printer, and Pantone Huey Screen calibrator.
So I already have both my screen (macbook Pro's and Samsung's) calibrated. My question is about how to correctly set up my printer.
I went on Canon's website and try to download the driver for the CANON printer, But I see there is 3 different version for the driver, i am not sure which one to choose. One is for 10.3.9 and above, one is for OSX CUP (which i donno what it means).
and do I need to install any of the canon software or plug-ins? I thought the printer color profile is in the driver as well. and aperture should pick that up fine. but for max quality printing, am i better off with the canon software? if so which one should i USE? Easy Photo Printing EX or Easy Photo Printing PRO?
last... I guess it will be nice if someone can point me the right steps to make a print after I have done everything I want to in Aperture. if you guys can give me a step by step guides for printing from Aperture 2 to Canon Pro9000 with Canon Photo Paper Pro II. and is photoshop is must have in the printing process? I really would love to stick with Aperture as much as possible. but again, quality go first...
Thank you for reading my post, and thank you even more for replying.

Challenging, yes, here is a link to a podcast on the O'Reilly website, hope this helps, I found it very useful. I actually subscribe to the podcast (via itunes) and find that there are some great topics.

  • Questions about setting up my network with my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to set up my network with my Mac Pro. I have two other roommates that need internet and a printer that we all need to access. The modem is with my Mac Pro in room 1, the printer is with another PC in room 2, and another PC with wifi is in room 3. What is the best way to connect all these.
    My idea was to install an Airport card in my Mac Pro, then add an Airport Express station w/airtunes to room 2, to connect the PC and printer. That way, room 3 can access with wifi, and room 2 can physically plug into the Airport Express station. Problem with that is that the Airport Express Card must be professionally installed in my Mac Pro and that $80+ charge on top of the Airport Express and Aiport Card itself, turns this into a $200+ endeavor.
    I also have a wireless Linksys router and Linksys WiFi USB receiver. Anybody have any other ideas?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Your plan wouldn't work anyway. The Mac Pro can not create a WDS compatible wireless network. Therefore the AirPort Express (AX) can not use WDS to wirelessly join the network. Therefore the AX's Ethernet port will not be activated.
    The best solution is to buy an inexpensive wireless router [or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)]. Connect the Mac Pro via Ethernet to the router. Add a wireless adapter to the PC in room 2. Therefore the PCs will connect wirelessly while the Mac Pro connects via Ethernet.

  • Question about Setting Window Title/the use of AVWindowSetTitle()

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about setting the title of the window in which the Acrobat viewer normally opens a PDF file.  The documentation states that AVWindowSetTitle() cannot be used in this case.  However, using it has worked with versions of Acrobat/Reader up until and including version 8.
    Everything breaks down starting with Acrobat 9.
    According to the documentation I am supposed to do the following: "To set the title of a window in which the Acrobat viewer opens a PDF file, you must replace AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() and pass the window title in tempTitle."
    Unfortunately, there are 2 problems I have with this approach:
         I do need to be able to change the document title on document Save, not only on document Open
         I do not know what AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() implementation has to look like if I have to replace it using HFTReplaceEntry().
    Is there a sample customized implementation of AVDocOpenFromASFileWithParams() somewhere that I could take a look at?
    Is there a way to change a document Title inside Acrobat/Reader window after a Save operation?
    Thanks a million,
      Lana2010K

         I am sorry.  I don't know how you tested this and came to conclusion that this works correctly in Acrobat X.
         I just tested our Acrobat plug-in with a trial version of Acrobat X and this did not work.
         When we open a file in Acrobat (doing it ourselves in the plug-in by adding another specialized open) we set the window title to something different from the default file name.  Then if a file gets edited and saved (File->Save), the window title gets reset to the file name. In the PDDocDidSave callback we call AVWindowSetTitle() to set it back to a more descriptive window title we need.  This has worked up until and including Acrobat 8, but does not work in either version 9.0 or 10.0.
         Also, I just modified the plug-in code to always change the Window Title of every document (even if opened through native File->Open) on document Save.  It does not work.
         Please help,

  • Question about setting cookies and custom authentication

    I have a question about setting cookies.
    I have two different 'projects' in HTMLDB - we will call them App1 and App2.
    I also have two different connection configurations setup in the DADs.conf file. - we will call them Connect1 and Connect2.
    App1 is setup to use database authentication (no user is specified in the DAD) and uses Connect1. Once the user successfully logs in, we set a username cookie (this is a persistent connection).
    We created a custom authenticatoin scheme for App2 - this scheme checks for the username cookie (set by App1). We would like for App2 to use Connect2 (HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER is the default user specified and it uses connection pooling).
    Is it possible to set a cookie from App1, Connect1 for App2, Connect2 - then redirect to App2 and pick up that cookie?
    Here is an example of what we are trying to accomplish:
    A user loggs into App1, we set a cookie, and the user is redirected to App2. If the cookie exists, we allow them access to the home page in App2, if no cookie, we redirect back to a 'Login Failed' page in App1. We don't want App2 to use the same database connection as App1 though, we need App2 to use connection pooling.
    Is this possible? OR...Is there a better way to accomplish what we want to do?
    This is an enhancement to an existing app. Our requirements are to use Database Authentication (setup where pass expires after 60 days or so, cannot reuse last 3 passwords, etc.) - which is already setup and being used by other applications in our organization. All of our users have accounts in the database. We don't want users to have a new username/pass - and we don't want to manage a separate group for HTMLDB apps.
    The existing application uses HTMLDB's built in authentication - which uses database username/pass, and it uses connection pooling, but we cannot handle the pass expire stuff in it, unless there's something we're not seeing or understanding - at least that's how our DBA explained it to us.
    Any help with this will be appreciated so much. I can send you the code we have if needed.
    Thanks!

    Same problem here.  I have so many problems with this remote app.  Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

  • Question about setting track level

    Hi I finally got my new macbook pro and moto 8 pre and have just today tried a bit of recording just to get used to it. I am at the moment using garage band. I have a question about track levels. In Garage Band when I select a track to record there is a slider for input level or an option of clicking the automatic level control. But for some reason they are both just that color of grey you get when something can not be selected on a computer. How do I activate this? It's strange as I did actually manage to record the track, I just can't seem to really adjust the level. I thought maybe it has to do with the motu and I can only select the track level there, and that garage band level setting are (rightfully) disabled? Maybe that's what I should be doing, but just a bit confused. Anyway, thanks in advance for whoever takes the time to help out a newbie.

    Ah, ok. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

  • Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

    Greetings,
    I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
    Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
    We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
    The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
    Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
    both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
    to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
    for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
    Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
    no need.

  • Question about setting Rows to "All" for defualt Interactive Report

    I have a default report with 2 user requirements that I have some questions about.
    1. The report in the data sould be 90 days old.
    2. The report show "All" rows.
    First to set the date I have this page process:
    apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2);
    apex_util.ir_filter(p_page_id=>2,
    p_report_column=>'REQUISITION_DATE',
    p_operator_abbr=>'GTE',
    p_filter_value=>SYSDATE - 90);
    I also set the rows to "All" and save the report to be the default. However I think when the "apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 2)" is executed it clears someting and my report opens with rows set to "15".
    Any ideas on this or even a better way to do it?

    the following link may help...
    It says that the ir_clear "Clears any report filters including default filters"

  • HT201670 Question about cropping in negative space on Aperture

    I have a question about cropping on aperture.  I would like to print a photo that is 6 x 10 inches. No photo company prints this size, so I was going to print 8 x 10 and physical cut out the extra space.  Unfortunately my photo is already zoomed in and i can't figure out a way to crop and include negative space.  Is there a way to do it on aperture.  Should I use a different software program.  And when i print to Wallgreens or shutterfly, they just strech or crop the image even further.  Sould I be using a better printing company?
    Thanks!

    You can add blank areas to your image by printing the image to a new image:
    Select the image in Aperture and use "File > Print".
    Then set up a 10x8 paper size and disable the "Crop to fill" option.
    Set the margins to zero inches.
    Select to print to PDF.
    In the "Print" dialog select to save the PDF as an image file (jpeg, tiff)
    Or use an external editor to add borders to your image.

  • Questions about VK34 (create condition record with reference)

    Hi experts,
    When clicking the botton "copy condition" via VK34, an error message pops up. It says the error is due to no definition of select rule. I use the  standard condition record PR00.
    Q1: How to define "select rule"?
    Q2: Any chances to download condition record when using VK13 or VK33?

    Hello Colleague.                                                                               
    This Unicode problem occurs mainly with pricing reports (recognized by report names that start with /1SDBF12L/RV14AK).                        
    To regenerate these, call transaction V/LE or use transaction SE38 to execute the report RV14ALLE.                                           
    Leave the selection screen empty and execute (F8).                     
    See SAP note 497850.                                              
    If you have further questions about the generation in the condition maintenance, I recommend to read Note 886771.                
    I hope it can help you.

  • Question about SET FRMLBOTTOMUP

    I'm getting unexpected resutls when using this set command and could use some feedback. EXAMPLE OF CALC - SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON;SET UPDATECALC OFF;SET CACHE HIGH;/*This step multiplies UNITS times RATE and records the results on AMT, for all level 0 entities of North America SS */FIX(&Svar_Years,&Svar_Scenario,"FA10","FA11","FA12","FA13","FA14",@RELATIVE("XX SS",0), Local,"4111_AMT" ) "Current Version"="4111_UNITS" * "4111_RATE";ENDFIXWith SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON Essbase calcs "4111_UNITS" * "4111_RATE" correctly but places the result in not only "4111_AMT" but also in "4111_UNITS" and "4111_RATE", erasing what was previously there. This only happens with SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON otherwise the calc of unit times rates works fine. It also works fine if I replace the left side of the equation from "Current Version" to the account "4111_AMT" which is a dense member. I don't understand why that should matter and what about SET FRMLBOTTOMUP ON causes Essbase to place the result of the formula in the members used to generate the result in the first place. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    thanks, can u explain when this server serialization
    occurs and why? the application i am using uses lots
    of beans with data coming from database, and those
    beans are used for display and calculation during
    user interaction(one session). is there a risk of
    lossing information during the interaction when
    server serializes session? thanksIt depends on the Server, and on the session manager used.
    For instance, Tomcat, with the default manager, will try to serialize sessions when the context is restarted so that user data is not lost during application upgrades. It will also attempt to serialize if the JVM begins to run out of memory.
    A second manager available in Tomcat will try to store all session data in a database, the file system, and the like so that it does not take JVM resources. This requires serialization.
    Finally, You can use load balancing or other clustering techniques to back up Tomcat (so one server doesn't do all the work, or if it goes down, other servers will handle requests). Since sessions will need to be shared (or sharable) between different servers, the data must be serializable so it can be sent from one to the other (or actually sent and received through an external storage system like a DB) they must be serializable for this to work...

  • Question about managing application licenses together with netboot

    Hello
    So far I had made no experience with an MacOSX Server netboot configuration but we plan to introduce it in some weeks. Therefore we are "wondering" how management/assignment of application licenses is working in a netboot configuration. Normally in a local MacOSX configuration licenses for application are in generally assigned on the application (some are bound to a certain user name, others to the CPU ID) and is valid for all users login to the same computer. How and at which time are application licenses (for example MS Office 2004, Adobe Acrobat etc.) assigned in a netboot environment?
    Many thanks in advance for any clarification and with best regards, André Müller

    Hi Andre,
    Is this a technical or legal question Either way it is an interesting question about a major grey-area, and I wonder if anyone has the right answer.
    Boiling your question down to specifics, it could be...
    I have 15 individual Photoshop serials. I want to run Photoshop off a NetBoot image for 15 simultaneous users. Can I install one serial on the image, and allow 15 users to open Photoshop simultaneously. What if I want to install the image on 20 machines, but only 15 users will ever use Photoshop simultaneously.
    There is a technical answer and a legal answer to the question. I don't know if there is a 'right' answer since multi-user installations of titles that are technically possible under NetBoot may not be allowed legally under the user license agreement you committed to on breaking the seal on the software. And these agreements are different for different countries.
    Here's the technial answer. Sometime before OSX server 10.0, when Apple introduced netboot technology, developers were advised not to perform network scans checking for duplicate serial numbers when aps start up.
    In practice this means you can install software title on your image, activate with a serial number, and it will not conflict with the other identical versions of the same application on other images on the network.
    FileMaker Pro is the only software I am aware of that doesn't play by these rules, altthough it no longer checks when the applicaton starts, but when any FMPro network activity is started.
    Here's the leagl answer. It depends on the title and the country you are in. The legality is definded under the eulas for the titles concerned. I don't know if the leaglity has ever been tested in a court of law in any country in this context.
    The easy way to do the right thing for some titles it to purchase a multi-user serial number, ie. a single number which will work for 5 or 10, 20, 50... etc. users. Fore example, FileMaker has a volume licensing serial number which I beleieve can be purchased in increments of 10 users. However, not all titles offer this option, though, and it's difficult if you need 12 copies and have to buy 20.
    Sassafras software http://www.sassafras.com/ sells Keyserver, which may be an appropriate solution. Keyserver tracks installations and authenticates serial numbers to ensure no more than the licensed number of copies can be run at the same time.
    I don't think I've answerede your question for you but hope to have expanded the contxt of the question for other suggestions.
    Good luck,
    b.

  • Question about auto-saving multiple files with the same template

    Is there any way to do this? The template will never change - but I will need to save it as a new file each time I open it. Just want to know if there is an automatic way to do this when the template is opened each time? Preferably numeric, starting from any number. I suppose I can just save each file myself - but as it gets up into the thousands of files - I'm not going to want to.
    It would be really cool if it could auto-save the file, assign it a number, and then place that number in the top corner of the saved document.
    If anyone can help - let me know. C.

    OK. First add a text field to the document, say "text1". You probably want it to be read-only. You can duplicate it to all pages if needed. Then open the template document, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), and enter the following code:
    // Interactive Console JavaScript
    // Get the folder this file is in
    var folder = path.replace(documentFileName, "");
    // Save multiple copies (from 1 to 9)
    // with the number in the text field
    for (var i = 1; i < 10; i += 1) {
        getField("text1").value = i;
        saveAs(folder + "template" + i + ".pdf");
    After you paste the code, highlight the lines and press Ctrl+Enter (or the Enter key on the numeric keypad) and Acrobat will save multiple copies to the same folder as the template. Replace "text1" with the name of the field you've set up and "template" with the name you want the copies to have before the number.

  • List of Simple and Yes or No questions about the Precision T7910 Workstation

    1) I bought a T7910 with only 1 Processor, can I add a second Processor later? 
    2) Do all 7910 Models come with a dual-processor motherboard?
    3) There are videos on Youtube showing a guy changing his 5.25" HDD ports into 2.5" SSD ports with cables, screws, metal plates, and these great little fans and such,  but there seems to be no way to find out where he got the cables, screws and little fans, Do these sort of options, cables, screws, plates and fans etc. come with the T7910?
    4) If they do not come with the machine, can they be ordered after the fact? (where? See next question...)
    5)  I went to the Dell Parts & Upgrades site then to the 'Accessories for your Dell Precision Workstations T7910' page,.  There was exactly ONE part available for the 7910, (some strange cheap little video card) see here: accessories.us.dell.com/.../Category.aspx;l=en&cs=19&s=dhs&category_id=2999&mfgpid=238987&Tab=Parts&stype=2
    so.... 
    Is that the ONLY Part or Upgrade one can buy for a Precision 7910 workstation?
    (sub question: Where are the Replacement Power supplies and Memory chips and cables and fans and Procs and Drives and Raid Kits for the 7910?
    6)  I bought 32GB DDR4-2133 for my 7910 (in a 4x8GB configuration), can I ADD more memory later keeping my existing chips and just adding 4 more 8GB chips to get to 64GB? (or do they all have to be matched chips installed at the same time like the old days...)
    THANK YOU!

    I just bought my T7910. The short list of specs on mine:
    - E5-2623
    - 2 x 4GB (2 x 16GB should be coming in this week)
    - 310 videocard (already been upgraded to a 960)
    - 500GB HDD (already added a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO and a leftover 2TB)
    - purchased the quad 2.5" drive bay that goes into the 5.25" optical drive bay to allow me to put in 4 x 2.5" drives besides the standard 4 x 3.5" drives
    I bought this system after very detailed research. Not all information and/or parts are straight up available on Dell's site (e.g. the quad drive bay I made sure to be part of the purchase, but knew it would ship separately).
    SpeedStep
     1) I bought a T7910 with only 1 Processor, can I add a second Processor later? 
    No -> Incorrect: you can add a 2nd processor later, but you'd need to get a genuine Dell heatsink for that 2nd processor, which currently means you'll have to buy that from Dell as I haven't found any resellers offering that heatsink separately yet.
    2) Do all 7910 Models come with a dual-processor motherboard?
    No -> Yes, all motherboards in the T7910 support dual processors (you just need a 2nd heatsink, which doesn't come with the system if you buy it with a single processor)
    3) There are videos on Youtube showing a guy changing his 5.25" HDD ports into 2.5" SSD ports with cables, screws, metal plates, and these great little fans and such,  but there seems to be no way to find out where he got the cables, screws and little fans, Do these sort of options, cables, screws, plates and fans etc. come with the T7910?
    No -> Correct, but you can buy them from Dell. The SKU to buy is 470-ABHF. This SKU is probably not findable on dell.com, so you'd have to go through spare parts or your salesrep. Dell's KB article here, shows some information, but at the time I'm writing this it doesn't have a (correct) SKU for the 7910 (it uses different cables than the 7600/7610 due to the 12Gbit/s SAS vs 6Gbit/s SAS).
    4) If they do not come with the machine, can they be ordered after the fact? (where? See next question...)
    No -> Yes, see above
    5)  I went to the Dell Parts & Upgrades site then to the 'Accessories for your Dell Precision Workstations T7910' page,.  There was exactly ONE part available for the 7910, (some strange cheap little video card) see here: accessories.us.dell.com/.../Category.aspx;l=en&cs=19&s=dhs&category_id=2999&mfgpid=238987&Tab=Parts&stype=2
    so.... 
    Is that the ONLY Part or Upgrade one can buy for a Precision 7910 workstation?
    Yes -> No, the website is just very limited in what it lists, even though Dell does seem to have added memory and drive upgrades at least, since your original post.
    (sub question: Where are the Replacement Power supplies and Memory chips and cables and fans and Procs and Drives and Raid Kits for the 7910?
    No -> You'll have to call Dell spare parts or your Dell salesrep.
    6)  I bought 32GB DDR4-2133 for my 7910 (in a 4x8GB configuration), can I ADD more memory later keeping my existing chips and just adding 4 more 8GB chips to get to 64GB? (or do they all have to be matched chips installed at the same time like the old days...)
    Yes -> Correct; each processor has 4 memory channels. All usable memory channels have to be identically populated, unless the memory channel isn't being used (e.g. you don't have a 2nd processor to communicate with the 2nd set of 8 DIMMslots, or you don't need that much memory at this time). So, in your case, you would end up with 4 memory channels with 2 x 8GB DIMMs in each memory channel. For my system I should have 4GB + 16GB in 2 of my 4 memory channels for my CPU.

  • Question about Dreamweaver Native Mobile Apps with PhoneGap

    I am trying to determine the best way to build an app for my business.  It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but needs a clean UI that is easy to navigate and interfaces with an online database.  The PhoneGap intergration with Dreamweaver 5.5 seems really intriguing, but before I spend the $650 to upgrade my creative suite, I had some questions.
    Doing some research, I have found multiple references to apps created in this way running slowly.  Noticable lapses on button pushes, pages loading slowly, etc.  Is this an issue and if it is, is there any way to get around it? 
    Idealy, I would deploy my app to both Android and iOS devices, how smoothly does that run?  I have some basic knowledge of both Java and Objective-C, but using dreamweaver seems to be quite a timesaver.
    If anyone has any input or comments about using Dreamweaver to create native mobile apps I would love to get some feedback.  Thanks!

    PhoneGap builds mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You cannot use a server-side language, such as PHP, with PhoneGap.
    Presumably, you want to connect with a MySQL database on a remote server. To do so, you would need to use Ajax to send and receive data from the MySQL database. You can use jQuery to send and receive data as JSON. PHP has JSON functions that decode and encode data as JSON strings.
    How difficult or easy you would find setting this up depends on your knowledge of jQuery and PHP. I don't know of any tutorials that show how to pull everything together for PhoneGap, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find tutorials for using jQuery Ajax to communicate with MySQL.
