Question for Pro Photogs - Sports Related - (Nikon)

Is there a way to "Tag" photos (like the Lock Photo works in PhotoMechanic) on your camera so Lightroom only displays the "tagged" photos on import? Obviously this would be a huge time saver when trying to transmit at let's say half time of a football game.

See John Beardsworth's "Locktastic" plug in here: http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/index.php
It performs a smilar function.
If you already have Photo Mechanic, it's probably faster to do your initial selections in PM, then drag only the selected images to LR for importing and editing.

Question for pros: should I keep this 23" ACD?

I have a new "23 six days to evaluate whether to keep or exchange it for a different one. I'm a pro photographer and this is my first large LCD other than the 17" on my MBP. I could use a little advice on whether to keep this or not for the following reasons:
Overall in normal conditions the illumination is even and there is little or no pink (magenta) tint. It calibrates well with my Eye-One puck. There is a little ghosting of white windows (like browsers) after they've been up several minutes but it's faint and they fade and that doesn't bother me too much, though I do notice it occasionally. The main issue is the backlight leakage in deep blacks when the room lights are down. It is in the lower part of the monitor, mostly concentrated in the corners. I do notice it in the uncommon photos that have a lot of black in them, mostly ones shot at night.
Is this common behaviour for all these monitors? I don't expect perfection but would like to know if this one should be returned for another, whether I can expect to find a perfect one. If it's typical for all LCDs I'm fine with this, but if it's not, perhaps I should be thinking exchange.
I've kind of decided to go Apple because Iezo (sp?) are kind of expensive and I've seen photographers on the galbraith forums complain about highly restricted angle of view on the Dells.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.

You should expect perfection and as a photograph you need to be sure of your display! Send it back direct and make an complain, don´t do what I did, expect Apple to take special care of pro people.
If you don´t get it fixed, turn it back! It´s several pro products out there ( maybe not so good looking), even if LaCie is a sometimes stange company, thay always been taking care of defect products (even after warranty is out).
Don´t accept any ghosting at all, not for that price!
Thats my advice, since I have 4 of them and after one yera they start to show up tha bad quality ( you know, the exact limit of the warranty must be calculated in
knowledge of this.........)

Easy questions for Pro about ASM block size

hi
how can we change DB_BLOCK_SIZE in ASM (while instalation)
we have a default of 4096

As for databases 'later' is not possible. I'm not sure what happens when you choose another blocksize at creation time. ASM blocksize is only for metadata,it's not related to the actual database data (having the database blocksize) stored in ASM diskgroups.
These are the blocks which are used for extent maps in shared pool.o you dont need to worry about this blocksize difference.
here is the actul link that i copied over from(above)

Question for pros

Ok this is my problem. I create a leave request page,
the employees log in. After they log in it takes them to a
calandar. On the calandar they request the leave by clicking a
check mark box next to the day they are requesting and hit submit.
And the record is updated. To prevent duplicate entrys in our
database, if the employee wants to request additional leave for
that month they login and return to the calandar. The calandar
already displays the days that they have prevously requested. Now
this is my problem. It displays the days they prevously requested
as planed, but I want to block the user from changing any of the
exising checkmarks from a prevous request. Is it possible to Gray
these out or hide these fields with checkmarks. Thanks for you help
in advance.

Just set the attribute disabled="disabled" in the checkbox
tag of those that
they have already entered.

'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'. The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below.
I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same. So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
Appreciate...
Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
To the points raised in this thread.
1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
5. Repaired permissions - same result.
Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
Question for anyone with a music library
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
In addition what I posted above -
1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
3) Repaired disk permissions
4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
6) Restarted computer
7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
9) Increased internet access speed
10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion. Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure. Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Hi
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.
Thanks & Regards

Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
I think you should be fine.
I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.

Posing a question for those well versed in flash and flex

I would like to start an off-line communication chat with those of you who are well versed in Flash and Flex.
I've worked with Cold Fusion but I am not up to date on all the technologies available. This seems like the perfect forum for this question.
I simply want to build an application (web or desktop is unknown) in which a person can learn a foreign language, in this case English.
I need some technical advice as to whether Flash, Flex, or a combination of technologies (Cold Fusion for server side functionality) is the best choice for this application. I do not understand the technical aspects of Flash or Flex in building applications so I need the advice of you experts.
As with most foreign language textbooks, audio, or foreign language video training, the material is not interesting, not pertinent to daily life, and is great for late night insomnia. I've never seen any type of foreign language training that is interesting, fun, or uses current events as part of the curriculum.
I would like to illustrate my idea with an example. I want to use an existing English beginners textbook (for kids), scan the images in the textbook, store the content (rules of grammar) in a database and store example sentences in a database.
I would like to record basic audio sentences from the textbook (Do you know tomorrow's weather), incorporate some animation (baseball player hitting a home run), incorporate some basic video (purchasing an item at the grocery store), add a quiz, test question or puzzles, etc..
In addition, since this is a classroom setting and the kids are split into groups, I would like to store a seating chart with the kids names and pictures in a database. After the first segment is finished (e.g. purchasing a toy at the store) the kids next perform an activty. I want to use a combination of audio, video, and animation to explain the activity, give instructions, split the class into groups,and perform the activity.
As I mentioned before, I would like to start an off-line discusion for those of you who are willing to share some of you knowledge and experience with both Flash and Flex. Since you are extremely busy, maybe you might be able to point me in the right direction.
Hopefully, some of you can provide some sound technical advice.
Thanks in advance
Michael Poplawski

This is an abitious project even for some-one well versed in flex/flash, i have to give you points for outstanding courage on this .
You need to cover quite a few areas in a project like this both for the client and the back end, you need a strong understanding of animation(either through code or the flash timeline), data parsing, logic trees for the quiz/test elements and a lot more before the first line of code would be written.
In Australia there are already a few companies using flex for online educational applications and at least 1 state educational Authority. A search on the internet will find several sites pertaining to flash/flex based online education software and this would be a starting point to give you an idea of the strength flex has in this area.
Beyond this it is not the sort of project that 'help' would be readily available for unless it was relating to very specific issues you could readily define. Also this is not the best forum to request this type of help as the forum is more about testing a beta product. I am sure that if you start learning about flex and have trouble understanding different aspects of how things work there will be plenty of support from the flex community.

Mini vs. Quicksilver for pro apps--which would you recommend?

Hi all,
I've been running the Adobe CS2 Suite of applications (Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator) on my Mini 1.42GHz/1GB RAM with not very pleasant results. Even if only one of the apps is open at any given time, the performance is painfully slow and the spinning beachball is always making an appearance.
Now, I've also got a Quicksilver 2002 800MHz/1GB sitting currently collecting dust in a corner of my office. I "upgraded" from the Quicksilver to the Mini because I had grown sick and tired of the incredibly loud fan inside the Quicksilver.
My question is this: Should I bring the Quicksilver out of retirement to do the Adobe CS2 work? I realize that the machine only has an 800GHz processer versus the Mini's 1.42 GHz, but it (the QS) also has a 7200rpm hard drive versus the mini's 4800rpm hard drive.
If I use the QS instead of the Mini, will I see a performance increase, a decrease, or just about the same?
I'd love to hear feedback from any of you out there who have used both the Quicksilver and the Mini, especially in conjunction with Adobe CS2 or similar CPU-hungry pro applications.
Thanks!

I would agree with Doug - that typically for 'pro' application use, it would be better to use a 'pro' system, even if older.
As an example, I have a mini on my desk, running alongside a 6+ year old G4 tower. The G4 has had a second video card added to drive up to 3 displays, has had the original HD replaced by a high speed larger capacity unit, a second drive of similar spec has been added, a third SCSI drive is also in the system for booting specifically for photoshop, the RAM has been upped to 2Gb, and the original 450MHz processor has been replaced by a modest 1GHz unit. Total cost of the upgrades was less than the cost of a mini, the G4 is pretty much of similar 'speed', but the flexibility of the design allowing the additional and faster drives and video has made the G4 the system that gets used most when heavy duty workload is being done.
That's not to detract from the mini's great strengths - it's a fast, compact and powerful system for a wide variety of potential uses and that is more than ample for the majority of users. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of flexibility and expansion/upgrade options, and for pro users, those are often of great criticality.
