Quick question re: PDF manuals

Just curious FCP users -- does the new version of FCP Studio contain PDF manuals as in previous versions?
For some reason they've stopped producing the User Manual and Plugin Manuals for Logic Pro, and I'm baffled. The help files are all html and available via Apple Help, but that's it -- not bookmark-able or friendly at all.
Thanks in advance!

Nope, definitely no PDFs.
I used Pacifist to search the installer packages, and Spotlight on an installed copy, and the only PDFs included are multiple languages of the CD-booklet-sized "Exploring Final Cut Pro 7.pdf".
Hopefully Apple at least designed book-format manuals, and will release them as PDFs in due course. I find the in-app help system to be very difficult to use, and the online version (while handy, for sure) is an equally incomplete solution.
While I applaud Apple for not wasting the paper and packaging to include a full set of printed copies, I referred to the PDFs all the time. Being able to search effectively, add bookmarks and Command-Tab between your PDF reader and the app is simply a better way to work/learn.

Some quick questions about Zen Microph

Hello,
I just received my Zen 8GB Microphoto today after recently purchasing it and I love it so far, but I have a couple questions.
. The pdf manual that came with the installation disc makes it clear that you shouldn't jog with the Zen Micro since continuous shocks aren't good for it. This is a bit of a shock (no pun intended) for me since I planned to use this quite a bit while running, and I know that micro-dri've MP3 players are susceptible to shock which results in skipping, but this seems a bit extreme. Is this statement just "extra-precautionary" so Creative can say to you, "I told you so" just in case it breaks, or has anyone actually have one of these things break pretty quickly from jogging with it's
2. This might be a stupid question but according again to the pdf manual you have to be using the supplied headphones to scan for radio stations as well as recording radio stations while listening to them, but nothing was mentioned about simply listening to FM radio. Will I be able to use the FM radio feature without using the headphones that came with my Zen Photo. I'd test but I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it yet and it's still charging, but I would really hate to have to not use my Shure E3cs in order to be able to use the FM radio.

Colour Profile Question - Press PDF

Hi
I've got a quick question regarding colour profiles.
I've designed an A5 flyer for a client and I have my CS3 suite colour settings set to Adobe 1998 for RGB and Euro Coated for CMYK. The client has decided that this flyer is now to be printed on uncoated paper. So, should I be converting or assigning the working/document CMYK profile to Euro uncoated?
Also on output for press I have a PDF export setting which I use for creating press pdf's which is set to 'No Colour Conversion' and 'Don't include profiles', so in fact does the above matter at all?
I'm totally confused, any help appreciated!
Thanks

I think you are guessing correctly, they may have some control which will work ok for them at a certain level.
You could convert in ID, which will alter the appearance and that will change the output file. Or you could manually adjust the colour/saturation to taste and let the printers go through their usual process and end up with better job.
They probably 'run to density' on press, so you are taking some of their control. Most printers at least calibrate their equipment to a standard, such as Euroscale and then suggest that clients use that when preparing files. That is what I guess when a printer does not have a custom profile.
What they are saying to you is that they are calibrated and their approximate appearance is based on Euro Coated on coated stock at a particular ink density measured at the press.
Uncoated stock looks desaturated, so if you increase your saturation and reduce your Total Ink, you can control the look at their desired press density.
This is not correct colour management, but reflects real world conditions in many commercial 'jobbing' printers in my experience.

Mountain Lion pdf manual

I'm in immediate need of a pdf manual for Mountain Lion. My mom just got a Macbook Air for Christmas. I'm a Windows person so I'm learning as well in order to teach her.
All I can find online is the Snow Leopard manual, but that is a few years old. I know that Mountain Lion is version 10.8.xx right now, so I want to get the most up to date information.
This will be the best way for her to learn the os. She connects to the internet through the cell phone hot spot, so she has to watch her data usage. All she does is get email, look at Facebook, and play games already on the computer.
She will not take advantage of all the videos etc on the internet due to a data allowance on her cell phone plan.
Is such a manual available? Thanks.

Who can help me for the PDF-manual of Photoshop Elements 8.0 in English?

Some weeks ago I started using Photoshop Elements 8.0 in Dutch. But I cannot understand all technical terms in Dutch and therefore I need the PDF-manual in English. It is unpossible for me to download that from Adobe, because I bought the Dutch version.
Can anybody having the English version of Photoshop Elements 8.0 please download the PDF-manual and send it to [email protected] Thank you in advance.

Dear Barbara B.
Thank you very much. It works.
Maybe, it is interesting for you to know that before I sent this question to
the forum, I asked it officially at Adobe's Customer Help. From them I got
the answer that it is not possible to download the English manual. They
offered me the possibility to convert my Dutch Photoshop into an English one
by means of a so-called Lettre Of Destruction (LOD). That is not what I
wanted, because I liked to keep my Dutch Photoshop.
Thanks for your help once again. Now I have I Dutch ánd an English manual!
And that's what I wanted.

Pls help! Questions on iView manual...

Hi, this question is regarding manual named: 'Introduction to Custom Java iViews With the SAP Portal Development Kit'
I have EP 6.0, PDK imported into EP 6.0, Eclipse 2.1 with SAP plugin v1.2. I have gone through this manual(address pasted below) and had no problems until I hit page 52. Here are my 3 questions:
1.) Regarding Pg. 52, step #2, I downloaded the libraries.zip file from my EP 6.0 (Java Development>Development>Downloads page) But there is no file called com.sap.portal.htmlbridge.jar. Where can I get this file?
2.) Is this causing the error that Eclipse cannot recognize these two imports inside file 'TemplateJSPDynPage.java'. This file automatically opend up with errors on Eclipse after I clicked 'Finish' on page 50. *I got templateJSPDynPage.par from Java Development>Documentation>Getting Started>Tutorials/JSP DynPage(on Getting Started Panel)> Inside article near page top is a link called 'download template'.
Errors with these two packages:
import com.sapportals.portal.htmlb.page.JSPDynPage;
import com.sapportals.portal.htmlb.page.PageProcessorComponent;
3. Regarding the HTMLB library page on EP 6.0 (Java Development --> Examples --> HTMLB Control Overview) Is this the entire HTMLB library listed here with links & examples? or is there other libraries?
PDF Manual address: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/introduction to custom java iviews with the sap portal development kit.pdf
Thank you so very much for any responses or suggestions!
Baggett

Hi Soran,
1.
the htmlbridge.jar must be copied from Your portal server.
Search for folder com.sap.portal.htmlb\lib
2. yes
3. There might be other libraries required.
This is a common issue in portal development: where is the library xyz.jar ? Best parctise is to copy the whole /portalapp folder from the portal server to the development PC.
Best Regards
Frank

Report Generation Toolkit Error Quick Question

Hi,
I created the most awesome LabVIEW report ever at my desk using a trial version of the RGT and Office 2003. I took this to my production machine and ")@#(&%(*#^%()^!!!" The production machine has office 2007 and a fully licensed version of the RGT. Both machines have LabVIEW 8.6.0. I've read all the stuff about these errors and something about classes and dll's and whatnot's. So my quick question, is: Instead of matching the versions of Microsoft Office as recommended, can I just rewrite from scratch the VI that creates this world's most awesome LabVIEW report on the production machine to create the same effect?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Quick Answer: Probably
Slower answer: Microsoft changed a lot of things behind the scenes in Office 2007, but the Report Generation toolkit version 1.1.3 supports Office 2007 so you should be good to go. Depends on what functions are included in your VI. Liek the read me says "Several default settings in Microsoft Office 2007 differ slightly from previous versions. Reports you generate using Office 2007 might look different than reports you generate from other versions of Office because font sizes, cell sizes, and so on, differ."

Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

Hi there,
I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
Just a couple of quick questions.
1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file. Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead?
If so, should I delete the library and start again? (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
- a kind of sub-question to this one: some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD. Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes? Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes. The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes. When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes? Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
Cheers,

The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count. Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder. By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media. All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

Quick question re select-options

Hi
I am relatively new to ABAP but have a quick question:
I need to create a select-options which does the following:
1. Allows ONLY "equals" signs
2. Disallows intervals
3. Disallows the use of ranges in the multiple selection box.
4. Allows multiple individual selections.
I can achieve most using the following:
select-options s_knvh for knvh-kunnr no intervals.
However, this still allows ranges using the multiple selection box, and also allows the "not equal to" option.
Adding the "no-extension" syntax simply removes my ability to use multiple individual entries.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jon

Use this FM.

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

QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
Nathan

Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
Only experimentation will answer that one.

(1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

There is no PDF available. I sent a link to a page full of links and info not much different from the help files.
There are many Free books in the iBooks store which will take you through the basics of iBA.
I like "Create your first Interactive book using iBooks Author"   its created by iBook-Widgets.com - who also supply widgets at a price.. but the book is very free and very good.. search the iBooks store for their title.
You cannot use iBA on an iPad, however, I also use the iPad app -- "Book Creater"   ( redjumper.net ) its very low priced around $3 or so. The people who create it are helpful and friendly. You can distribut your books to friends and family using Dropbox or other cloud storage. If you want to creaet an ePub file and then upload to the iBooks store, its not difficult. You create the book on your iPad. It is no where near as good as iBA for functionality.. but it spossible to make really good eBooks.
I think Applecare shoud come into effect with the language problems if it can be found to be a glitch on the computer. Applecare is product based and does not apply to software.
Take it stage by stage,   visit your Apple store and   ask if they can solve the help files in langauges first, then react to the answer, it could be they can solve the issue which leave you a clear path with iBA.
Also you can gather more indormation about how to use it with the help files.
Try the info I have included and   see how it develpops... any problems get back here and we can look for alternatives.
try this... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661166101?mt=8&&referrer=click%3Da63089e4-e3d4-49 e9-896a-58e0cfd50acf
its the free version... if you like upgrade later.
Happy New Year... hope its a good one....

2 Quick Question

Hello - I'm pretty new to Motion and have 2 quick questions:
1) If you've got a bunch of keyframes on a timeline and want to make the entire sequence longer - is there a way to just pull the last frame out and have it automatically interpolate the keyframes in between so that it keeps the same timing and everything... it just makes the whole sequence take longer?
2) On the same timeline with a bunch of keyframes, can you apply one long Interpolation (ala "Ease Out") to the entire thing from A-Z so that the whole sequence eases out rather than just keyframe to keyframe?
Thanks!!
Jason

Heya,
1. If you're asking if you have something like the "roving" keyframes in AE...well, kinda. Keyframes on footage, shapes, generators, particles, replicators—objects that create an image—don't seem to scale. But keyframes on secondary objects like behaviors and filters do scale.
2. Very easy: go into the Keyframe Editor and click on the animation state icon/menu for the parameter you want to change. The icon/menu is the last column after the parameter's value in the left-hand side of the Keyframe Editor. If you pick an interpolation type in that menu, it applies it to all keyframes in that particular curve. It's also the same place where you can set the before/after extrapolation, like ping-pong, progressive, etc.

Quick Question: When to use ( ) and when to use [ ] and why the ( *)

Hi all,
A quick question that i'm sure is very simple but is slightly confusing me. I've just started trying to learn Objective-C and am a little confused by ( ) and [ ].
I get that you use the [ ] brackets when you want something specific from an object, i.e.
[ textField textColor ]
and that you use ( ) brackets for things like:
if ( x == y) {
But I get confused when I see things like:
NSLog(@"some text here");
Why does that get ( ) brackets and why is it not [ ].
Also another point of confusion, creating methods... Why are some methods done like:
- (void)awakeFromNib
And others done like (with the additional "*" added):
- (NSString *)stringvalue
As I said, I'm sure this is very simple and obvious, but it is confusing me slightly.
Thanks in advance!

Adam:
As you already know, square brackets are used to send a message to an object, so if a object like myObject implements the method -doSomething, you can call it with:
\[myObject doSomething\];
The other use square for brackets have is to index C-style arrays, such as:
aValue = anArray\[10\]; // Get the 10-element of an array
However, because C-style arrays are rarely used in Cocoa applications (use NSArray instead) you will not see this situation often.
Parenthesis in expressions are used to group and prioritize, such as:
x = 10 * (3 + 5); // x = 80
If () statements use it to delimit the test expression. Same with while (). for () uses it to enclose the limits and increment statements, etc.
The other important use of parenthesis is in calling a C function:
result = foo(3);
means that you are calling the function named foo with the argument 3, and storing the the return value in the variable 'result'. This is different from a message because a C function is not a method of an object. They exist independently of any objects. NSLog() is a function defined within Cocoa but it is not a method. So, you call it with the traditional C function call syntax. Cocoa defines other functions like NSStringFromRect(), which takes an NSRect as argument and returns a pointer to an NSString.
And that leads me to your last question. Some methods return simple types, like int, float, or void (i.e. returns no value). These methods will have prototypes like:
\- $void$returnNothing;
\- (int)returnInteger;
Other methods return pointers to types, like:
\- (int \*)returnPointerToInteger;
\- (void \*)returnPointerToAnything; // In obj-C one typically uses id instead of void*
Returning whole objects from methods has problems and it is better to just return a pointer (the address in memory) instead:
\- (NSString *)makeAString;
The method above returns a pointer to an NSString rather than the entire object.
Good luck with your learning,
Juan-Pablo

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.
