Question for ALL Bootcamp Pros....

Ok so i am currently on a PC (and have officially decided that I hate PCs) and I want to switch over to the New Macbook Pro-15". See I have a rather advanced question about the Bootcamp program (cause i understand it's basic premiss). I was wondering, is it possible to use a Thumb Drive (like a 60GB USB Drive... and yes I do have one) as my hard drive partition instead of actually partitioning my hard drive on my new Mac. The reason why I am asking this is because I use up a lot of hard drive space (quickly) and I don't want to have to worry about using up my New Mac's hard drive.
So yes, my question is: Can I set up Bootcamp to use a 60GB USB Drive as my hard drive partition for Windows XP on my Mac? In addition, if I were to do this would anyone know how I would go about doing it?
Thanks for the help!

Why do you need Bootcamp at all. I'm not a gamer, and if I were, I'd find Mac versions, or a new game
Parallels 4 will let you boot XP from any drive you choose to move the Virtual Drive folder to. You can even store multiple copies of XP or run XP and Vista at the same time, with MacOS. Get plenty of ram for this...
Backing up Windows becomes so simple. Zip the folder and copy the file to a backup drive. Hose up your XP? Just delete the folder and move an uncompressed copy back to the right location. XP just runs again. No mixed partition drive, and the problems people have when they screw up removing the Windows partition.
Exclude the XP folder from Time Machine, and when working with XP save documents to the 'Shared' folder that Parallels creates (that isn't excluded from Time Machine) for hourly backups of your files.
If you trash XP on a Bootcamp partition, you are stuck with the same format and reinstallation of everything that you are trying to leave.

  • SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

    hi,
    I have some questions for all of you.
    1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
    Oracle doesn't support their techologies
    (Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
    2. Oracle says that has just released a
    new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
    I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
    I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
    many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
    a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
    b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
    You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
    This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
    I do NOW with existing sources.
    I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
    please answer. Any comment welcomed...
    maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
    PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
    thanks

    Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
    The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
    It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
    Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
    1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
    2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
    3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
    You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
    I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
    At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

  • Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (

    Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (& iTunes) experts out there. Anyone know why a playlist (Purchased) keeps dropping off my playlists in iTunes??l This has happened at least 15-20 times to me in the past couipe of years. Fofrtunately for me, I saved these songs to an external hard drive, so retrieval won't be so painful. Guess I just want to know how to avoid this going forward.

    Just that one playlist goes missing and no other content? No idea. But it is clear you ought to have a backup so you can restore the database should it happen again.

    First of all, uninstall it with the uninstaller.
    Then:
    Install the ENGLISH version.
    Change the language in the CC app to Korean.
    Install the Korean version. (DON't uninstall the English version)
    Change back the langauge in the CC app to English.
    When your OS is running in English, InDesign will run in English with Korean functionality added, if your OS is running in Korean it will take the Korean User Interface, so let your OS run in English.
    Every installer language will add needed plugins for the work with that language. E.g. If I install Hebrew, I get RTL functionality in German version, only if I would change the OS language it would change the language of InDesign, InDesign takes always as UI language the language of the OS if available, if not (in your case you have uninstalled English before), it takes any version which is available in the order of languages specified in the OS.
    If you need to run your program in a different language than the OS but you have installed it in the language of the OS it becomes more difficult. You would have to use some system tools which are able to force a program to open with a different language. Most of those tools are freeware.

  • Trackpad Fix for All Macbook Pro and Macbook Models.

    Apple has issued a update for the Trackpad but the update is only compatible with the newer unibody Macbooks and Macbook Pros.
    I have made the following patch that is compatible with all Macbook Pro and Macbook models with trackpad issues. Don't forget to run the registry patch last.
    Download it here:
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SNIG71OI
    This should fix the trackpad issues for all Macbook Pro models.
    1. Go to Device manager and go to the "Apple Multitouch Mouse Properties."
    2. Go to the driver tab and click on Update Driver.
    3. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    4. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
    5. Click on the "Have Disk" button.
    6. Browse to the location of the included "Apple Multitouch Mouse Driver" folder and hit OK.
    7. Click on next and it will update the driver.
    8. Double-Click the included "MouseFix" registry file.
    9. Restart and enjoy!

    Thanks a lot for the effort you made. Rightclick/Scroll problem is not as bad as before, but its still there. What exactly did you change in the driver files? I'm very interested in this.
    I think about programming my own drivers. A good base for that will be perhaps the source code for this linux demo:

  • Okay quick easy question for all who have successfully uploaded videos

    hi, this is my first post in the Apple forums!
    my quick question:
    I have Quicktime Pro, and am currently exporting a video to the iPod
    but it is taking an unusually long time...
    is this normal (and by long I mean I'm @ 16% and it has been 5 minutes)
    do I just need to be more patient?
    thanks
    ^_^

    don't say that...
    I successfully uploaded videos to my iPod I just was not doing it right
    my question has been answered already so STOP BRINGING IT UP AGAIN
    also, look... many people just got their iPods today and are kinda anxious to see the video capibilities work on them, so If you do not have anything constructive to say (by calling us n00bs), then I suggest you don't say anything at all

  • 2 questions for all the iTunes PROS out there

    I currently have the latest itunes software. I have recently formatted my pc, and need to add all my songs back into the itunes library. I have over 7000 songs all in the general folder
    "Music". I do to File->Add folder to library->Then select that folder. It works for a bit scanning though files asks me to convert some, then it just crashes..... It would take me soooo long to do this folder by folder, does any1 know what is going on?
    Since i have formatted my pc, when i plug my ipod in it says that it has been synced up to another itunes would i like to delete it all, any way around this? Or maybe can i somehow sync my ipod to my itunes, thus fixing the problem in my first question?
    Thx soo much for any help
    Myles

    "Since i have formatted my pc, when i plug my ipod in it says that it has been synced up to another itunes would i like to delete it all, any way around this?"
    When your iPod is set to update automatically you just need take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. When you get the message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). 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 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    "Or maybe can i somehow sync my ipod to my itunes, thus fixing the problem in my first question?"
    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos and photos as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods 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 again.

  • Creating a multiclip sequence, HERE'S A REAL STUMPER for all you Pros...

    Ok,
    this one is a real doozy. We've tried everything we can think of.
    Workflow: Three HDX-900 cameras, jam-synced to clocktime and shooting a sports event at 30p (59.94fps) DVCProHD. Recording onto FireStore-100s and backing up onto DVCProHD tape. Dumping firestore DVCProHD footage directly into FCS2. Everything looks and sounds great. We labeled each angle field in FCP according to the camera (A, B, C). We carefully labelled the reel numbers according to our project (P1031308A0101).
    I selected the 3 bins (each bin holds the footage from each camera) and made a multiclip sequence. It was UNABLE to make a 60 minute multiclip with the footage from the three cameras spread out according to their timecode. It kept trying to make about 30 multiclips, few of them with overlapping timecode. a couple of the clips did sync together into a 3 camera segment, but most of them failed to find each other. We played with the overlap slider and all of the settings in the multiclip window, and at various points FCP tried to offer us 4 or even 5 camera angles of footage, all from our three angles, each with its own embedded and (seemingly) functional TC. It would NOT simply do the obvious-- take the free-run timecode and arrange each clip along a linear timeline within that timeframe and multiclip them together to form a three-angle view of the sports event.
    Why not?????
    Now, one issue we have with this workflow is that the FS-100 drives are unfortunately FAT32, meaning every 2.2 minutes (2 gigs) the FS-100 automatically cuts the footage into 2 gig chunks. but in a regular non-multiclip sequence, this split-up doesn't seem to affect the footage, or timecode at all, and the first frame of the new clip is one TC frame after the last frame of the previous clip, the way it is supposed to. I don't know if this is relevant.
    Also, I don't know if this is relevant: We have been shooting in 59.94 fps, 30p, and we have been using the 60@30 method of viewing TC in the viewer and the project settings.
    I am thinking that if there was a way to take all my 2.2 minute clips and put them together into a giant master clip (without exporting and losing quality) then my simplified work environment would allow for a working multiclip.
    There are three of us in the edit room and we have been trying to multiclip this stuff for hours. We need this solved today. Is there anyone who has an idea? I think we've tried everything obvious. Our computer is a new MacPro with 4gb RAM, capturing onto an eSATA hard drive

    Kevan,
    Thanks for the hey hey.
    TonyTony,
    I have lots and lots of 2 minute clips. But we finally figured it out. It's a failing of FCP's multiclip feature to recognize segmented files that originated on a FAT32 drive. Basically, you simply can't, as of FCS2, make multiclips from several files that were automatically split into 2gig segments, even if their timecodes were maintained.
    So the solution: I took each camera's footage, lots and lots of 2 minute clips, and pasted them together in quicktime pro to make a longer sequence. then i saved a reference file to the long sequence and brought that into FCP. I did the same for the files from the other 2 cameras. Then multiclipped those reference movies.
    The newest version of the FireStore firmware has a setting that lets you create a quicktime reference movie from within the firestore that links the segments together. so my workflow for the future involves making these reference movie, bringing only the reference movies into FCP, and multiclipping them. problem solved.
    probably 2 people who are reading this understand what i'm talking about; i'm not particularly great at explaining things. but we're back up and running . thanks for reading.

  • So what do you do when you import - a questions for all??

    So far I have not had them time to dive into LR 1.1 as I would like to.
    Although lately that time has been free'ing up. While I currently do use LR
    to import and tag my photos, I have not tried much else except the album
    part, but even that has been minimal. I shot mostly in jpeg, but some raw as
    well. So my questions to you all, other than just importing as I do, what
    else do you do? I mean, do you do auto adjustments as you import? Sometimes,
    when I import, I will have 200-600 photos. I know I do not want all of them
    and will delete some. And then some, I think I will want to eventually move
    into collections to create a digital portfolio of sorts. I know LR is just
    in it's beginning stages, but still presents a lot of power.
    Secondly to this, do many of you use LR in conjunction with Bridge and PS
    CS3 and if so, how do you bring it all together?
    I know this could warrant some exhaustive answers, but I think it could be
    fun to see what all we do and whatnot and maybe get some ideas from one
    another. So let's hear from you!?!?

    I don't use any develop preset. I do apply a metadata preset with basic contact and copyright. It also applies a purple label (the only label with no shortcut) which means Rate and Add Metadata. I apply the same keywords as Robert and any others that apply to all photos. I apply the lens and camera tags because folks on flickr appreciate it. Different cameras write lens identity differently so a lens tag is actually easier to use than the MB. After import I'll apply a metadata template for location.
    Further use of labels:
    none - keep but don't work on further
    Red - process
    Green - Raw/DNG done
    Yellow - full size derivative
    Blue - reduced size for web
    CR2/CRW files that I process are also flagged as Pick. I export/import a DNG of these to serve as a local backup. The DNG's are not flagged. This allows me see just what I want very easily. I have CR2/CRW files and DNG of the keepers so that I have the native files in case I decide to develop with something that doesn't handle DNG and the DNG's for the possibility that the native Canon files will become obsolete.

  • Audio question for you Premiere Pro vets...

    Hi there -
    FCP editor here who is loving the new PPro CS5 and is trying to convince my studio to do our next show on it.
    I'm having trouble with one particular audio situation and so far all the help documents I've read aren't giving me an answer:
    I'm trying to export a quicktime file with multiple audio tracks. For example: track 1 is a stereo track with all the camera audio, while track 2 is a stereo track with Music & effects. This would create a similar situation of a TV show dumped to tape with channels 1&2 program audio, and channel 3&4 Music and Effects.
    My assumed path would be to create 2 submixes: 1 "camera" and 2 "music & Effects." I was then hoping to export a quicktime with each sub mix as a separate audio track inside the exported quicktime. Is this correct?
    Can anyone help an old man out?

    Thanks so much for helping with this.  I can only hope that Todd sees it also.
    I have submitted a feature request.  Regardless, the ability to map tracks to channels, and the ability to create quicktime files with multiple audio tracks is definitely something that should be possible.
    If you're wondering more about the applied use:  Besides being able to map tracks to an audio channel for tape, the most important time when this is used is this: At the end of a TV show it's customary for us to export a final quicktime with program audio and music separated:  2 audio tracks in one quicktime.  If we want director commentary, that also becomes another audio track inside the quicktime.  A "track" can be stereo or mono.
    It creates a single quicktime file where all audio elements are separated, allowing us to distribute a single file to multiple departments who may have unique editing/sound requirements.  Simplifies things a lot.
    As it stands now, we would have to take the quicktime/audio elements back into Final Cut Pro or AVID to achieve this.  (Unless someone else knows a way to do in Premiere - I'm all ears).

  • Easy question for all you ActionScript wizzkids!

    I have created the following Actionscript to control a 'Next
    Question' button. The idea is that it will choose a random frame to
    link to in the current scene (Part2).
    nextQ_btn.onRelease = function (){
    gotoAndStop("Part2", n);
    n = Math.random()*1+3;
    At the moment, when I click the 'Next Question' button,
    nothing happens. What's up with my script? My programming knowledge
    is very limited and this is just about all that it can manage!
    The button works when I take out the n variable and put in a
    frame number manually.

    monkee,
    There appear to be two issues with your code:
    1. you're calling n before you have defined it
    2. you need to generate a random whole number and the random
    number generator will have decimals
    The solution is
    1. call for n after you define it
    2. use a rounding action to make the random number a whole
    number
    So:
    nextQ_btn.onRelease = function (){
    // generate a rounded random number between 0 and 4
    n = Math.round(Math.random() * 4);
    trace (n)
    // go to the random number +1, making the range 1-5
    gotoAndStop(n+1);
    As you may already know, the trace action helps solve these
    types of issues by letting you know the value of n if it is
    defined... when you test movie, the results of the trace statement
    show n has a value in the output window. In your original code, it
    would show undefined.
    Hope this helps. One other thing you may face is figuring out
    a way not to ask the same question twice. You probably will want to
    use an array of eligible questions before long.

  • Question for all programmers who use Xcode

    Hi,
    What style of indenting do you use?
    1)<pre>
    int myFunc(int num){
    //some code
    }</pre>
    2)<pre>
    int myFunc(int num)
    //some code
    }</pre>
    I uses style 2, but I cannot get Xcode 2.4 to properly indent nested braces. Here is an example:
    <pre>
    class Test
    public:
    Test()
    int x = 0;
    while(x < 10)
    { <font color="2200cc"><------- should be moved to the left</font></pre>
    Can anyone get that to indent properly in Xcode?

    So, for instance, the
    character sequence 'f' can be used to insert a for
    loop in your code. It's amazing how fast it is to
    write code with that feature.
    Textmate has that. Make sure you have the proper language selected at the bottom of the file window. If you have "C" selected, all you have to do is type "for", then hit the tab key and you'll get a "for" loop. And you can even tab from bit to bit to fill in the parameters you want. I've poked around with adding my own completions, too. It's a little non-obvious to me, but it might not be to someone else.
    Also, Xcode has something similar, just look at "Insert Text Macro" in the "Edit" menu. You can assign key bindings to any of those. So, for example, I bound "option"-"f" to the "for" loop. If you haven't already discovered it, there's an easy way to move from parameter to parameter, just use the "control"-"/" key combo.
    Also, just tonight, I discovered the free Completion Dictionary plugin. It's really easy to define your own text macros. One thing I found puzzling was the key binding to expand the macro. Completion Dictionary comes with a key bindings file, but I couldn't make it work, so I just added a key binding to the "Expand Macro" submenu. Works a charm.
    Finally, as to your original question, about the indenting. Did you want the "{" to line up directly below the "while"? If so, Textmate does that for me:
    <pre class="command">class Test
    public:
    Test()
    int x=0;
    while (x<10)
    // something.
    }</pre>But that's a language I never use (Java or C++?), so I'm not real sure about that.
    Finally, I should put in a word for BBEdit. It's what I actually use most of the time for work, since I work on a web site all day long and I've been using it forever. It has a slick feature where you can build various kinds of macros using Perl or other scripting languages, which is great for creating really complex (or tedious) bits of code. But it doesn't have the same kind of autocompletion as Textmate or Xcode does.

  • Very Technical Keynote Question - Calling all experts/pros

    Hello All,
    I am in the process of building a keynote for a rather large event that will be displayed on one of the largest Hi-Def Screens in the US. We will be having a very large background that will be animated, and coming from a source other than keynote but the material that will be placed over the background we are using Keynote, mainly because it is cheap, effective, and great for what we need to display.
    Here is my question. Is there anyway to present the Keynote with a transparent background i.e. so you can view the large (non-keynote) background that will be behind keynote box.
    In other words think of a large rectangular screen with a large animated background, over a smaller section of the screen there will be the keynote running in a square over the background. Is it possible to produce the keynote without a white background, and more to the point, a transparent background so that when it is running, you can see the non-keynote background behind the keynote aspect.
    Hope that wasn't too confusing.
    Many thanks,
    Seth

    As Brain has said, set bkgd colour and key it out (either in software or hardware) is one way to go.
    Presumably you are running KN live rather than outputting a .mov. Not sure if keynote .mov exports can generate alpha but certainly keynote objects (.mov, .tiff & .qtz) can have alpha. If generating a movie you could add the alpha in another app.
    I'd be doing this in Quartz because it's cheap (free with MacOSX Leopard in Developer Tools), reliable and powerful. Live vision mixing can be done inside Quartz. Other powerful shareware vision/vj tools out there if you search.

  • General Recall for all Macbook Pro's

    I believe that is time for Apple to do a general recall of all the Macbook Pro's.
    Even if takes a couple of weeks to revise them, it will be worth it.

    Maybe because most of us don't have any problems.
    Please understand (and this is coming from an Apple authorized tech from years back, who has not worked in service for years...but still.....), if you have problems, you complain. And you should. And you find other that are having problems. And that makes it look like all or at least most people are also having problems. And that's just not the case.
    The local Apple store here has sold about 30 (granted, a small number) and not ONE has come back, including mine. Does my backlight flicker a tiny bit at the lowest setting? Yes. Not enough to bother me. Anything else? Nope.
    Guess what....that's typical. What is atypical are the posts you see here about problems. That is definitley not to say that they shoudln't be fixed, and maybe shouldn't have happend at all. But understand that you are in an unfortunate minority.
