Right Laptop for the Job?

Hi Folks,
I work with wedding, performance, concert video and photo and considering to buy a new laptop for the job that will eveintually have Production Premium 5.5 & Lightroom 3. I have 3 following models in my consideration list.
Sony Vaio:
Intel® Core™ i7-740QM-prosessor
8GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 425M GPU
HP EliteBook 8540W
Intel Core i7 740QM 1,73 GHz
8BG RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M
Mac Book Pro
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
Price is not an issue.
Which one should I chose & why ? Kindly given me an opinion beyond "mac vs pc" arguments .......

Basically, for using the internet you have a few options:
• Phone line
• Ethernet cable (from internet jack in wall)
• Wifi if you are in a Wifi zone (your Mac has built-in wireless capability, you just need to find a wireless network to join)
• Some phone companies have USB cards that you can plug in and get internet anywhere, but of course for extra charge
The Macbook you are looking at should do the job fine, and can access the internet via any of the options above.
P.S. You may already know this, but you are allowed to have FCE installed on one desktop computer and one laptop, so you could install your FCE HD on your new laptop. Also, make sure if you are editing HDV (I assume this is the case since FCE HD doesn't support AVCHD) that you get the white macbook, not the aluminum one because the aluminum doesn't have a firewire port that is required to capture HDV footage. If you are planning to edit AVCHD, you need to get FCE4.

Is Keynote the right application for the job?

I have a job that requires integrating an audio soundtrack with some slides. The difference between this presentation and a normal slide presentation is that most of the information is in the soundtrack (it's a lecture, with some slides as visual aids). The amount of time in which the slides need to appear is relatively brief; in fact it's a fraction of the soundtrack's run-time.
I have time index information that specifies where the slides should appear in the presentation. For example, there will be two minutes of soundtrack with a blue background, and then a slide will appear for 5 minutes while the soundtrack discusses its content. Then the slide should disappear into blue background for 10 minutes, then another slide for 3 minutes, then background for 20 minutes, then another slide...and so on.
In other words, the soundtrack must play continuously, interspersed with occasional slides at specific times for specific durations, with blue background in between. I want to export the entire presentation as an integrated audio+video file and burn it to DVD. I already have the soundtrack as an .aiff file in Logic Pro 7.2, and I will have the slides as high-quality JPEG files. I don't own a Keynote license. I do have a QuickTime Pro license. I've played with this in Microsoft PowerPoint enough to determine that it's not the right tool for the job.
I've looked at Keynote's Help documentation, and it's not immediately apparent how to start with an audio soundtrack and simply insert slides at specific times, for specific durations. Can I accomplish that in Keynote, or is there another application that would be better suited to the task?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Brian:
If I correctly understand the effect you've described, I imagine that would be VERY annoying. However, in the test presentation I made in iMovie, that's not exactly what I experienced. I added the soundtrack first, and then I placed the slide images where I wanted them. Initially, I did notice that I couldn't just jump ahead and place an image all the way at the end of the soundtrack file without iMovie adjoining it to the last image's segment on the timeline, but that was easy to fix. Once the image was in the timeline, I just dragged it all the way to the end of the soundtrack. After that, I could place images anywhere I wanted.

Right tool for the job?

Hello,
before I spent too much time investigating AM, could someone please answer me if it is the right tool for my scenario.
What I need is SSO solution, that supports:
- authentication with username /password, X509 cert, maybe even kerberos
- the system needs to authenticate internal users (eg. AD users wih kerberos) and external users (eg. username / password)
- the system is SOA oriented, all business logic is implemented in web services
- if user invokes a web service, she needs to be authenticated, and her identity must be known to web service
- so far I think there's no problem, right?
- now, the first web service needs to call another web service. I need to pass original user identity further down the service-call-chain. Possible?
- as a side feature, I'd like AM to provide additional user properties (principals?), eg. external user's company name
Is this the job for AM or do I need another tool?
Kind regards
Jernej

SUBINACL - the right tool for the job?

Here is the scenario:
DomainA and DomainB
Full Trust both ways
Windows File Share in DomainA. Created a windows server in DomainB. Used Quest Migration Manager to migrate users and groups from DomainA to DomianB, keeping SID history. Xcopied files from DomainA server to DomainB server, keeping the permissions from DomainA.
Now, the Trust will be broken and we need to change the permissions from [email protected] to [email protected] Thousands of shares and permissions, so can't do manually. So far I have tried SUBINACL in the following context:
Subinacl /noverbose /output=e:\ntfs_perms.txt /subdirectories e:\Share
and then
Subinacl /playfile e:\ntfs_perms.txt
This changed some of the permissions to DomainB, but removed a lot of permissions.
Is this the right tool to use for this? Is this the right syntax for this scenario?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
It seems like you have enabled the SID history.
Based on my experience, after we completing the migration, sIDHistory should be removed from migrated principals to minimize management complexity. Microsoft has provided a sample script and
Powershell command to remove SIDHistory.
So, please first confirm if the migration process completed or not, then plan to remove the SIDhistory.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/ashleymcglone/archive/2011/11/23/how-to-remove-sid-history-with-powershell.aspx
Before we do this, please backup the system state to making any important change to avoid any risk. After clearing the SID history, please try to run the subinacl command to check if it
works.
Regards.

Is Acrobat Right Program for the Job?

HI, I have a client who would like to do a number os sales sheets. The client has multiple locations around the country and wants to be able to send the sheets to each location. At each location they will put in their address/phone etc., and all locations want to be able to make minor text updates to the sales sheets as the services they offer are continually changing. They will then print them out of their color copiers as needed.
My thought is to create the sheets in InDesign and Acrobat. The final file I provide the client will be a PDF that they can alter the type in. In that way I think they will not be able to mess it up too much. However my first test working in Acrobat as an editable file is a little squirly.
So, is there a better way to do this? A different program I should be thinking of that would allow my client to make edits, that would be better than Acrobat? Keeping in mind the end product is to be printed.
Thanks, Jo

You could use PDF with form fields. where they fill in Blanks.
But if the whole for has to be edited to tweak design, everyone is going to have to have either Indesign or Acrobat, or Both. On the other hand If everyone has Excel ,the can edit anything and everything hearts content.

BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?

Hi All.
I have this request.
BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
And if yes, how this could be done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
Also would like to know :
how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
how to set up the smtp server for this ?
thanks

Hi.
Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
e.g. :
Job_abc is completed successfully.
We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
and we hae a group email id.
I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
The i created a simple test script as below :
print (' Before email ' );
smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
' the job has failed', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
But how to differentiate between a job success
And a job which has failed.
I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
==> IF it is a success
OR
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
==> if it has failed
How to make the system identify, whether
to send a success message or a error message whatever
Could anyone advise.
thanks

I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

Hi alexanderfrommilton,
First try reinstalling itunes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You

Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

Convert Spool to PDF and mail for the jobs not run in background.

Dear All,
I need to convert the spool job into pdf and mail as attachment for job not run in background.
I am printing the bills using the program SD70AV3A to print the bills in a batch using the SUBMIT.
But i am not using the spool options since its going to into waiting state in spool...and i need to change the printer properties to G
to get the printer to print the reports as these jobs run in backgroud....but this solution is not acceptable solution.
SUBMIT SD70AV3A
         WITH RG_KSCHL-LOW = 'ZRR'
         WITH RG_NACHA-LOW = '1'
         WITH PM_VERMO = '2'
         WITH PM_NSORT = '1'
         WITH RG_VBELN IN range.

so how do i get the spool number from the above after the job is submitted....and then convert into pdf and mail
please suggest some solution. I have searched on net but most the solutions are say to run the job as background job...
i have also looked into the program RSTXPDFT4 but it asks for the spool id ....how can i get spool id for the job that has been completed.
please suggest some solution.
Thanks
Bhargava.

Hi,
Spool to PDF : FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSOOLJOB_2_PDF'
Table TSP01 to get spool number
You ,may need to convert OTF to PDF: FM CONVERT_OTF
and the to binary : FM 'SMCS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
To send mail use class: cl_document _bcs.
