Quick question about AppleScript and "current playlist."

I have a few scrips that I'd like to have operate on whatever playlist is selected at the moment. The script dictionary has a "current playlist" object for iTunes, but it references the playlist the currently playing song is in, not the currently selected playlist. This is not what I want.
I suppose I could make iTunes play, pause, then stop in my script, but it seems like there has to be an easier way. Suggestions?

Hi,
Someone in the Applescript Forum might be able to help:

Quick Question About Ringtones and iPhone

I've looked through the discussions and could not find my answer. If you know of a discussion already posted please refer me to that.
Question: After buying a song from iTunes is there a statute of limitations governing the song's ability to create a ringtone?
None of the songs that I bought before my iPhone can be made into ringtones and songs that I bought a few days ago, which initially I could make into a ringtone, but did not, now can no longer be made into a ringtone.
Also, is there any program besides iTunes that can be used to create ringtones from any song?
Thank you for any and all help.

No there is not a time limit that I know of. The bell has disappeared on mine too. Have you clicked Store>create ringtone?
There are many, many posts about other ways to make ringtones:

Quick question about rendering and exporting with multiple presets

Probably a very simple question but I'm pretty new to PPro, so I'd appreciate your help...
I've got an uncompressed AVI video that I want to export to mp4 using several presets (that means several exports). What I intend to do is the following:
I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset and without rendering go to export media, select my export setting, and put it in the encoding queue at the Media Encoder. Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue. I repeat this for as many times as presets as I want to apply. At the end I have created (in no more than 2-3 minutes) several exports in the Adobe Media Encoder queue, that I can launch and go and do something else while encoding...
My question: will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered? if it does not work, would that work if I were to do this with each preset applied on a different sequence, even without rendering?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset.
Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue.
Does "apply the preset" mean selecting an encoding preset
before sending the Sequence to the Queue?
If I understand what you are trying to do...
It sounds like you want to do multiple, different format
exports from the same Premiere Sequence.
If so...
I would Queue the Sequence to Media Encoder once from Premiere,
then duplicate the entry in the Queue (Ctrl+D) and assign the
different encode types to the duplicates in Media Encoder,
(instead of Queueing the Sequence multiple times).
...will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered?
A Sequence will be encoded using the assigned settings.
You can set multiple encodes in the Queue, each with different settings.
I'm not sure what you mean by "even though it was not rendered...".
Unless you have specified 'Use Preview Files' in your encoding,
it will make no difference if your Sequence is 'Timeline Preview'
rendered or not.

Quick question about MPE and GPU configuration.

I have 2 graphics card in my mac pro. I am trying to use one to drive the displays and dedicate the other solely to PPro MPE. My question is do i have to connect a display to the GPU to enable MPE?

Damn! I had a feeling it was like that. So in a dual monitor setup if I have a CUDA enabled card driving one display and a non cuda card driving the other will MPE work if i put just the program monitor in it and keep the rest in the other(non-CUDA) monitor?

Quick question about inheritance and exceptions

If I have two classes like this:
public class ClassA {
    public void myMethod() throws NumberFormatException {
      throw new NumberFormatException();
public class ClassB extends ClassA {
    public void myMethod() {
}Does myMethod() in classA override myMethod in classB?
And why?
Thank you,
V

I just want to add that since NumberFormatException is
a descendant of RuntimeException, you are not required
to declare that the method throws this exception. Some
people think it is a good idea to declare it anyway
for clarity. Personally, I don't think so.I agree.
I think Sun recommends that you don't declare unchecked exceptions in the method declaration, but do document them in the javadoc comments.

Quick Question about Authorisation and FMS

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it's possible configure FMS 3.5 so that it authenticates against Webseal so that only authorised users can have access to the media?
Thanks

Does the normal version of FMS support cookie passing? We have Webseal infront of FMS and it seems that our flash player doesn't always pass the authorisation cookie through.
Also could you expand more on the use of LoadVars, XML send/load, NetServices, or XMLSockets to communicate with Webseal?
Many Thanks

New iPod owner - Quick question about iTunes and iPod

Hey everyone. I just bought the new 5.5G black 30GB.
I have a lot of untagged MP3s, but my boyfriend tagged most of them. After I overwrite the untagged files (but with the same filename) with the tagged files, now that I have all of my music on iTunes and on my iPod, how do I get iTunes to do a mass refresh and see all the tags, so it can show them properly and update the iPod accordingly?
Also, my new ipod keeps crashing! It keeps freezing when I hit the skip button or try to do something when it's loading a video or a song. It just seems really unstable. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

oh sorry i misunderstood you
this is from i-tunes help - is this any good
Song titles look scrambled after importing from another application
If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information in a different way from iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by reversing the Unicode characters in the song tags.
To reverse the Unicode characters:
Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Control key and click.
Click Reverse Unicode.
To change the information back to what you had before, choose Reverse Unicode again.

Quick question about Photoshop and Bridge

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

A question about grub and USB

Hi All
I have a quick question about grub and USB that I can't quite find the answer to by searching. Most of the FAQs discuss booting a full linux dristribution from USB. My situation is this. I am getting a new computer with two drives, the second will be arch and the first will be Vista (for my wife). I want the computer to boot the same way that my wife's machine boots at work so I don't want to install grub on the MBR. So, is there a way to have all of the grub config files and kernels installed on the second drive and simply install to grub boot loader to the MBR of a USB stick? My goal would be to simply plug the USB stick into the new PC and boot arch from the second drive.
Thanks
Kev

i cant say for hp's
havent worked on any in a while
recent machines have been coupleof dell's , vaio & emachine
which dells do offer it at least the ones i tried , my laptop does(dell)
all home pc's are built by me which do offer to boot individual drives
what hp you getting it may tell in specs
are both discs sata? if so it might not offer this option with 2 drives of same interface
check your power supply alot of these preconfigured machines put cheap under reated power supplies in there
& will burn your motherboard i just replaced PS(250 watt) & mobo(845gvsr) in an emachines <cheap stuff<
i hope you researched the pc before buying ie : mobo, power supply are the biggest concerns
i find it much more benificial to build my own machine gives me peace at mind. the cost is sometimes more in $ but not always , your biggest expense is time researching hardware
if you live in usa the best places to start looking are bensbargains.net & pricewatch.com
i am not affiliated with either & niether sell the hardware they are just advertisers a place to buy
for costomized machines that i would trust is unitedmicro.com theyll asemble & test before shipping
i have gotten 2 machines so far from them with NO PROBLEMS with hardware (knock knock)
you may want to consider this in your next venture for pc

Question about MII and xMII UDS versions

Hi all,
just some quick questions on MII and MII UDS:
Has the final version 12.1 of MII already been released? I can't find it in my service marketplace (does it depend on my account configuration?)
What is the last MII UDS version? The 4.0 SP2? Is xMII UDS supported on Windows 2003 server 64 bit or only on 32bit?
Can I connect MII via UDC connector to an UDS different from xMII UDS?
Your help is appreciated...
Mauro

> * Has the final version 12.1 of MII already been released? I can't find it in my service marketplace (does it depend on my account configuration?)
Yes, it would depend upon your SMP credentials and licensed software purchases (if you have 12.0 then you're eligible for 12.1 too). But it is not GA yet, so only people in ramp-up currently have access to it. Don't both asking for a date because it has not been set. Some time this quarter hopefully
>
> * What is the last MII UDS version? The 4.0 SP2? Is xMII UDS supported on Windows 2003 server 64 bit or only on 32bit?
The 2.5 UDS's are still viable and necessary for some of the vendor API based connections, but 4.0 is available for OleDB, OPC-DA and OPC-HDA. They have only been validated on 32 bit, but in theory they should work in a 32 bit emulation mode on a Windows 64 bit environment. Supported vs. unsupported is a thin line as a result, but perhaps others using them could share any specific experiences using them on 64 bit.
>
> * Can I connect MII via UDC connector to an UDS different from xMII UDS?
Your MII version of 11.5, 12.0, or 12.1 will work the same way with the UDS's as they are not version specific to MII.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

Questions about Text and headings CS5.5

Hey guys,
I have a quick question. I am currently working on a contact page for my website and I want to lay it out where the category of what you are contacting is in one font style while the email address (written beneath each category) is in a different font style.
Basically it would be like this
President (in brown font)
[email protected] (in smaller black font)
Vice President (in brown font)
[email protected] (in smaller black font)
etc.
I was playing with making the brown font categories h3 and the email address in h4. However they can't line up right because the fonts are different sizes so the space between each of the lines is different. Is there an easy to achieve this? I admit I am new to the program haha. Should I make the text in html code as opposed to using CSS?
Any help would be great!
Thank you =)

You would never want to publish email addresses on your publicly accessible web site. Spammers will flock to them like white on rice! Eventually, the person's inbox will be inundated with spam mail.
For best results, build an HTML form that is styled with CSS.
http://speckyboy.com/2009/07/02/20-resources-and-tutorials-for-creative-forms-using-css/
Then use a form-to-email processing script in whichever server-side language your web host recommends. Ideally, your script should contain the email addresses (not the form) and have anti-spam measures built-in.

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
I've learned by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
So the two questions are...
Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
Other Info:
I have a quad core i7 Processor.
My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
Dylan

The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included). You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC. They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.
Ciao.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck
