Recording Live, does this setup sound like it will work.

i want to record a band if i use the 1/4 balanced outputs from my SoundBoard into the "Alesis MultiMix FireWire 16" will it record with garadge band? How will it sound?

thanks, i just needed to have someone elses opinion, on the hardware selection. is there anything else with 16+ inputs out there for the same price range free (lol) to $600?

Does this server look like it'll work?

I coded this pretty quickly, and after a number of attempts to code a client that works, I still don't have any luck. I'm starting to wonder whether it's the server or the client that's the problem.
I was wondering if someone could take a quick look and tell me if there's anything specific that sticks out.

    static Map<String, PrintWriter> clients = new TreeMap<String, PrintWriter>();

    public TestServer(Socket clientSocket){
        this.clientSocket = clientSocket;
        try{
            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
            out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
        } catch (Exception e){

PrintWriter out;Don't use PrintWriters or PrintStreams over the network. They swallow exceptions, and you need to know about them.
} catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error in Stream Reader");Don't guess as to the cause of an exception: print the actual exception text.
String input = in.readLine();At this point you must test for input == null, indicating EOS, on which you must close the socket and exit the thread.
}catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error in thread");This is completely useless. Print the actual exception text.
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println("ERROR: Not able to retransmit message to the other clients.");Ditto.
Socket clientSocket = svr.accept();
String username = (new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()))).readLine();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
System.out.println("Client " + username + " connected on port: " + port);
clients.put(username, out);Don't do any I/O in the accepting thread. Move all this to the connection-handling thread above.
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Error");See above. This is completely useless. Print the actual exception text.

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Anaglyph Animation (frame by frame) does this procedure sound OK?

Hello Everyone,
I want to make 3D animation files, using Adobe toolkit and PSCS3. Does this route sound OK?
Open .ASM file in Adobe toolkit, produce two animated Avi files (left) & (right).
Import .avi (left) into PhotoShop as layers (save layers into folder named left).
Import .avi (right) into PhotoShop as layers (select layers and drag over to my "left" file. save layers into folder named right).
Frame by frame turn on corresponding layers in both left and right folders and convert the two layers as per "making 3d anaglyphs with Photoshop tuts." available on the web. e.g.:
Layer (left) frame 1 of 300
Ctrl L,
Ctrl 2 (green) 255 to 0
Ctrl 3 (blue) 255 to 0
Turn layer to screen
Layer (right) frame 1 of 300
Ctrl L,
Ctrl 1 (red) 255 to 0
Etc.....
Does anyone have an alternative or a different method?

thank you so much for talking to me. I didn't realize
tweening applied to frame by frame animation. So I create a motion
tween btw each key frame?
What I don't understand is: I want to be able to take the
symbol in the last keyframe, drag it away from the rest of the
symbols that are all aligned, and then get them to distribute
automaticaly in their own keyframes. This is really done best
through tweening? I thought this would only worked if all the in
between steps were not keyframes.
When I select all the keyframes at once and tween them they
do not distribute.
But I am probably not doing this right, I don't have time to
experiment right now, I just wanted to say thanks.

This may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?

this may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?

No.
It is not a replacement for a computer.
It mirrors the selected content of your computer.
The only programs that can be loaded on an ipad are those found in the app store.

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

Server and Network Setup Plan - Does this plan sound good and decent??

Well, it's that time again to buy some new hardware. I've already got a decent server that should do the trick, but it's lacking the hard drive space. Now, I've got a few SATA drives but my server system on has IDE controllers. Time to buy some SATA PCI Cards, woot. If you're a hardware junkie, then here are the things I'm planning on buying for the server system. Hopefully now I can give it a new job again.
SATA II 4 port PCI Controller – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6816124008
This thing is only $38.99. I know it's cheap and probably isn't the best out there, but it looks like it'll work fine for my low budget needs. After all, I won't be using the RAID on it until I get 4 matching drives on the card. So, for now it'll do the job.
WD Black 640gb Drives x2 – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6822136319
These are only $74.99 each. A few days ago they were $69.99 and I hate I didn't grab them then, but still pretty cheap for being some of the fastest 7200rpm drives out there.
OCZ Vertex 30gb SSD – http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6820227393
Sooner or later I do plan to upgrade all my OS drives to SSD as all the main storage will be transferred over to my server. This should speed up my systems consideribly as their already fast with Arch64 on them.
Later on I plan to upgrade to either two more 640gb drives and add another PCI Controller card or upgrade to 4 new WD Black 1tb drives. My server has two free PCI slots so I'd be able to get a total storage space of around 8tb or something like that.
That's enough for the server hardware and file system setup, here's how I'm planning to roll the network out. Of course, re-designing it from what it is now.
Internet ISP > Modem > Server > Switch and Router > Wired PCs and Wireless PCs
Here are the systems that will be benefiting from the server just for pleasure purposes.
My desktop machine and laptop will have their /home paritions mounted onto the server.
My work machines (iMac and eMac) will have a small /work-data partition mounted onto the server.
My family's machine (XP Pro, wireless) will have a small /family-data partition mounted onto the server with just Read Access to the other partitions just in case. I don't trust them enough not to fuck something over on my machines.
My brother's laptop (Vista Home Premium) will have access to the /data partition for the family.
I believe that should do it for the machines that would need a constant access to it. I'll post any new updates when it happens. Enjoy.

My thoughts exactly. Install a dhcp-server (and maybe bind9) and all you need is a WAP - works here. You could also configure iptables so you don't need an extra machine as firewall.
My concern is that you are planning on putting all data of you and your family (more than 1 TB at the moment) on a machine and that you don't use a hardware RAID-controller. IMHO data is THE most valuable thing (pictures, holiday movies etc.), so I would prefer spending money on a RAID-controller instead of putting it in an SSD. What is you're server going to do that it needs an SSD for its OS? If it's going to serve files and mail, then you won't notice much of a difference with a normal IDE / SATA disk.
I have bought a new pc for my mediaserver, and it's doing practically nothing 90% of the time, but I need it's CPU cycles to transcode 1080p-files to my DLNA-clients on the network. And did you think of a backup-system? I strongly recommend bacula for automated backups - it might be overkill for a home network, but it is not that hard to learn and very, very flexible!
Zl.
BTW: I am still learning a lot about networking, but I do think I know the basics...

HT1364 does this move count like a burn on all the song?

The motherboard on the computer that held my itunes has crashed. I have removed the HDD and pluged it into a different computer. I can see the files. If I move the files from the old HDD to the new computer does this count as a "Burn" against all my songs? notes: All my music was purchased on Itunes or uploaded from a CD (which i still have). I can re-upload all my CD's I just don't want to use a burn. The crashed computer was running Windows XP, target computer is also Windows XP.

SR460,
No problem. The only burn limit in iTunes is that you can't burn an audio playlist more than 7 times. Moving files as you describe does not count against that at all.
Best wishes,
Ed

What does this mean: "Runner utility has stopped working"

I tried to download something from Softpedia. It was an exe file but I trusted the bells and whistles. After that, Firefox changed. My upper right search bar changed to something completely different. But I got, two times, this error message, which weirdly enough even Google doesn't seem to have encountered, it doesn't Google up as such.
I'm trying to get my search bar back, but I'm also curious about this error msg

Hi JeffLewis,
Sometimes third party downloads are not always the best. However this error message sounds like something that may come from a function called Utility Runner. This is not an error that I have seen in Firefox before.
However in order to get the search bar back it is possible to click on the Firefox Menu and click on "Customize". From this menu you can drag and drop the search bar back to the toolbar.
As for the utility, please also run a malware check.
