Question about transferring settings between profiles

I'm having a problem transferring settings between profiles. The following procedure replicates the problem:
Launch Firefox with an existing profile and reconfigure the navigation toolbar so that the Stop and Reload buttons are separate.
Using Profile Manager, create a new profile; DON'T launch Firefox.
Copy file localstore.rdf from the old profile to the new profile.
Launch Firefox with the new profile and observe that the Stop and Reload buttons in the navigation toolbar are in their default, combined configuration.
Close Firefox and copy file localstore.rdf from the old profile to the new profile AGAIN.
Relaunch Firefox with the new profile and observe that the Stop and Reload buttons in the navigation toolbar are separate.
The same thing happens with bookmarks menu tweaks and file places.sqlite (I'm referring to tweaks to the menu itself, not the bookmarks).
It seems that Firefox doesn't honor some of the settings in localstore.rdf and places.sqlite the first time it is run with a new profile. Running Firefox the first time over-writes the custom settings, requiring that the files be copied a second time. Then it works as expected.
I stumbled across this while trying to pre-install Firefox v9.0.1 and my custom settings on several systems running Windows XP.
Does anyone know a work-around?

Maybe create a default template folder and place the files in that folder.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\

Question about transfering files between windows OS and mac OS when using bootcamp

I'm thinking about buying the latest macbook pro, however, many of the statistical programs I use are only compatible with windows OS. I am aware of fusion and parallels, but I was advised to use bootcamp to maximize the performance of both the statistical programs AND the macbook itself. When using bootcamp, if I were to create a word document for my statistical output in the windows 7 partition, would I be able to access it directly from the hard drive in the mac OS partition using windows for mac? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I run both Windows and OS X on my Mac. I would never ever want the Windows partition to have write access to my OS X partition. Be cautious when considering this ability. I would much prefer sharing files by a third drive, be it a flash drive, and external HDD, NAS, or an SD card.

Question about transferring to new mbp

I am a senior in high school this year and have had my macbook since 8th grade and can't even begin to say how much I love it! I am most likely going to be getting a new mbp in the near future for college and had a few questions about transferring files/applications over. I am pretty good with computers and yes I do realize that there is the migration assistant as well as time machine backups. I have kept time machine backups on an external drive ever since leopard and want to know when I get the new machine if I could just do a time machine restore. (Would this method keep the new ilife on the new mbp because I don't have 09) I also also upgraded the hdd from an 80gb to a 320 gb drive and have partitioned it to run win7 through bootcamp. Would win7 and all the settings automatically be transferred as well. In addition I am using virtual box to run ubuntu within osx. I have also downloaded countless applications online and wanted to know how they would transfer over If I don't have the disk or serial numbers to them. It seems it may be easier just to slap this hdd in the new mbp but I'm not sure if thats possible. Again thanks for the help

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If your old Macbook is a Intel based machine it would be to your benefit to use Migration Assistant to get your new MBP up. With MA assistant you have options of transferring information from your Macbook from either Firewire, USB or Ethernet connections. MA will walk you through how to connect the two machines together and ask what data you want transferred. If the Macbook is Intel based and you choose all of the options MA will make a mirror of the settings, data etc.. onto the new MBP. If your old machine is a PPC machine it is strongly advised not migrate items such as applications to the new machine due to possible incompatibilities. MA will also ask if you want to use a Time Machine drive to migrate the data to the new machine so you do have options. If you choose that route remember Time Machine _does not_ back up Windows so you would not be able to migrate that information using MA.
Your question has been asked many many times, I would recommend do a thread search and you will find some very useful information.

Roger

The Question about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management

Hi,
There is a scenario about stock transfer between HU-Management and WM-Management storage location. I use transaction MB1B , movement type 313 , 315. After Good issue from WM-management storage location, outbound delivery will genarated, then Pack, Create/Confirm TO, at last post goods issue for the outboud delivery. But when i do movement type 315, there is a warning message "Data of preceding document was not transmitted", and from the F1 help i find this system reponse "You can maintain an indicator that makes information about preceding documents in this delivery available under delivery type in Customizing. For some characteristics of this indicator, the type of preceding document and the related document and item numbers must be transmitted to delivery creation. At least one of these parameters is missing.".
So, My questions are:
1. Generallily, Outbound delivery is created by SO, inbound delivery is created referenc PO, but how the stock transfer for 2 steps generate the outbould delivery and inbound delivery? Could you pls tell me the where i can config this in the IMG?
2. What's "Data of preceding document was not transmitted" mean ? how to fix this issue ?
Best Regards

Some One want to discuss the details , can contact me. Thanks.

Getting Started with CFBuilder - A Question About Project Settings

Hello All,
I'm just getting my feet wet with CFBuilder and giving it a spin after over a decade's worth of experience with Dreamweaver and I have a question about setting up my work environment.
First of all, I have two computers that I mainly work from. My home desktop computer, and a laptop for when I'm on the road. I keep all of my web site project files syncronized between the two computers using Dropbox.
I've noticed that when I create a new project in CFBuilder it stores a few files in my project root like ".project" and "settings.xml". It looks like "settings.xml" stores information about which CFBuilder web server should be used for the project. Unfortunately this messes things up for me a bit because on my desktop a web site project url might be: http://desktop/myProject/ and on my laptop the project url could be http://laptop/myProject.
The reason this isn't a problem in Dreamweaver is because dreamwevaer stores its configuration/preferences outside of my project folders so I can essentially define any testing server I want for both the desktop and laptop.
Is there a way to configure CFBuilder to store project settings outside of the project folder? Or does anyone have a suggestion for someone like me who syncronizes their project files from their laptop to their desktop?
Thanks in advance for helping out a CFBuilder noob.

I would recommend using a distributed version control system (DVCS) with a hosted service, such as using Git/Mercurial and Github/BitBucket/UnFuddle. With Git, you can use a .ignore file to specify files/folders that you want to exclude from being stored in version control (I also exclude my CFBuilder project files from my repositories). You would then sync your local Git repositories with your service of choice, and they would be accessible from any machine.
There are many advantages of using Git and a hosted service over just Dropbox:
Each computer has a complete copy of the code repository, including all code changes over the history of your project.
You store code modifications in "commits", or small entries in the DVCS.
Commits can contain user-defined descriptions that help you identify what you did at each step of your development process
You can roll back commits if you break something in your code.
You can create "branches" of your code when you want to work on a specific feature of your application, and that branch is kept in isolation from other branches until you are ready to merge it back into the main production code branch.
You can have public or private hosted repositories on the various services, enabling you to work with a team or participate in open-source development.
There are Eclipse plugins available for CFBuilder that provide GUI tools for working with Git and hosted repositories (unless you are comfortable with using the command-line to do all your Git interactions).
I don't think you can separate the project settings from the project in CFBuilder.

Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jimmy

I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

FCP X, a question about camera settings

I live in the middle of the Pacific and need some advice as there is no one here to help me answer these kinds of questions...
My first 3 big projects were done in SD using a SONY PD 170 and FCE4.
I just bought the Panasonic HPX 170 with a 64 GB P2 card. I use a new iMac i7 (OSX 10.7.2) with all the bells and whistles and have now gone to the new FCP X for software. I know the following is more of a camera question more than a software question, but I thought someone in this forum might be able to help me.
We are about to shoot another full length feature film (roughly 90 minutes). I have read through the manual and a book about the camera but I'm just not getting enough information to make the ultimate decision as to what camera settings I should use to shoot the film.
In the end I expect the film to show at a theater here on the islands for a few weeks, and then a few film festivals and then ultimately, hopefully, sell DVDs to people who do not have sophisticated plasma TV/DVD setups, so I have to consider this also when shooting the film.
So.... I would really, really, really appreciate some opinions as to how I should go about this, i.e., 24p? 30p? 720? 1080i? If it were you, what settings on the camera would you use to shoot this film???
Thanks so much in advance.

1080i/60 is your best choice.
(This is assuming there's not a great deal of fast action, or slow motion in the movie. If there is, you may want to consider 720p 60).
You really need to research frame rates and the difference between interlaced and progressive footage before you commit yourself. To be honest, the difference between 720 and 1080 is so tiny, I doubt many people could tell it apart if they didn't already know which was which.

Question about transferring files from a Mac

Hi there!
I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Stupid question: will i need to also install Dropcopy on my iPad 3/iPad mini in order for my files to be transferred?
Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

Question about transferring data from 3GS to iPhone 5

I upgraded from 3GS to iPhone 5. Before reading any articles on transferring data through iTunes, I configured my 3 email programs, contacts and calendar (Google). The Apple instuctions state that I should backup 3GS FIRST, then restore to iPhone 5. Question is, if I do the backup and restore AFTER having configured my mail programs, will that cause problems, such as creating duplicate accounts and contacts? I am especially concerned about creating duplicates in my contact list, which would be a semi-horror if I had to delete every other one of over 1,700 names. Perhaps I should delete my email accounts and contact list BEFORE restoring to my iPhone 5, basically start from scratch?

When restoring the device, whatever is currently setup on the device is irrelevant. Everything currently setup on the device will be erased.

Question about transfering pictures and videos to my iPad

I just found out that I am getting an iPad as a birthday present, which is cool and all but I never ever even thought about owning one, the main reason is because I already own a pretty good laptopp with a good enough hard drive and the reasn why I love this is because when I go on vacation or whatever, I can take my Samsung camcorder which records in 1080p (mp4 files) and has a pretty decent 60gb hard drive but recording in HD requires a lot of space so whenever I run out of space in the cam corder, I just unload all the videos to my laptop in my hotel room and start again from sracth, that way I can come back home with 80 to 90gb worth of high definition vacation footage.
Now that I am geting an iPad, I want to use it as a laptopp replacement, it fits every category perfectly except the one I just mentioned, which leads me to my question.
If I purchase the usb adapter to transfer pictures and videos to the ipad, will this recognize my samsung camcorder? I dont remember the model as I dont have it here but it records in HD and the format is .mp4 so I don't see why I shouldnt.
the iPad I am getting is most likely the 64gb version, which is still pretty low on HD space compared to a regular laptop but if I take an empty ipad (no music and very few movies) to my vacation, I guess I still have a good 50gb or so to dump all my videos from my cammera and unless I am on a long vacation, I shouldnt have any trouble about running out of space but all of this would be moot if my iPad wont even recognize my camcorder in the first place. I don't even care if the iPad wont play the 1080p files properly (does it?) all I care about is if the ipad can at least store them until I get back home and transfer them to a real computer, thanks!

I'm not saying NO your iPad won't work with your camera, but you are clearly going to run out of storage space quickly, so it hardly matters.
I would try to convince you that you should think of your iPad as something to consume and share your media with, not store it. Keep using your laptop. BUT as you go through your photos and videos each night during vacation, throw the best ones onto your iPad to show your friends and family the next day. You can even set it up to down convert the videos for transfer to the iPad without losing the original 1080p files.
If the iPad DOES work with your camera (probably just photos), then you could do a quick transfer of selected photos and use the iPad to review them in the field (instead of your camera's screen). But I'd clear them off pretty regularly and just do proper transfers to the ipad of just the best stuff.
But anyway, everyone gets to use technology however they want. I don't think the iPad sounds right for what you want to do, but that's your call - why not give it a try.
(ever considered using mobile me or another cloud solution to store your photos. You can password protect them, upload from your iPad, and retrieve from your iPad (with mobile me and some other choices).

Odd question about transferring.

Ok, about 2 months ago I had no problems moving my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. So with that bravery I just tried moving iTunes and my library from where it had been to a new bigger drive, and I ended up losing huge chunks of my library. Now, my question is, I still have what I had previously sync'd onto my Pod, is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes?? Otherwise, I'm going to end up losing a whole day re-importing my CD's back into my library, not to mention lose what I had purchased from my iPod. I had just purchased 2 new TV episodes but in order to get them onto my Pod, I have to sync, and if I do that I'll lose what I have there. Help!!!

*is there any way to transfer what is in my iPod "into" iTunes??*
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
One last thing if your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an iTunes with a different content. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7.3 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever retrieval method you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Question about FCP settings

I must have changed something in my settings accidentally because for some reason whenever I drag a clip into the timeline, the the audio is not linked together and I always have to highlight the tracks and link the selection. What can I do to make the audio tracks be linked together by default?
By the way, im talking specifically about audio here--not about linking audio to video, but linking two audio tracks together.

Question about the difference between HDDs and SSDs

Hi. I currently have a MacBook (Black one) that's overheating a lot for the past few months. I'm thinking about purchasing a MacBook Pro for school because it seems to be more stable. I have a question though. What is the difference between HDDs and SSDs? Which one is better? All I know is that with my MacBook and my iBook is that I had hard drive failures (iBook hard drive clicking, MacBook hard drive sounding loud and making my computer overheat). Are hard drive failures normal with Macs?
Thank you

Depends what you mean by "better." Faster? Yes. The 500 has 3x more storage capacity.

HT1296 I have a question about transferring files, photos etc, from my ipad air to my PC Windows XP and visa versa

I want to know how to transfer files between my ipad air and my pc Windows XP. I know I can't use icloud because my windows is XP, but there must be some easy way, I hope to transfer files back and forth. If you know of a way or an app, is it user friendly?

The way that you can transfer apps can vary depending upon the apps themselves. Many apps use iOS file sharing with iTunes. Read about file sharing here.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
Some people use DropBox to move photos, videos and other files back and forth.
Dropbox - Dropbox for iPad
There are apps that will move files back and forth using USB and WiFi.
File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
And of course files can be transferred via email.
