Runners, good alternative to armband, please?

Hi folks,
Longtime runner, now have iPod Touch 2nd gen. Nice device. BUT, I hate the armband approach. It pinches my biceps. No matter where I put it, a plastic-y edge rubs against me. If I place it high on my biceps, then it bumps into my shoulder. If I place it low on my biceps, it cuts into my elbow. If I twist it far around the lateral aspect of my upper arm (more over my triceps), then I can't see the thing and can't easily change the song or change the volume.
I always ran with my yellow Sony Walkman AM/FM/Cassette in my left hand. Then I had a Rio Cali sports FM/mp3 player in my left hand. All iPods seem to only have straps for strangulating the upper arm.
Any alternatives out there for us runners??? Please share... thanks.
-- Josh

The touch is so big (and expensive). I'd spend $39 on the Apple reburb page
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod?mco=MTE3Njc
and get the previous gen iPod shuffle. Who knows... that might be less costly than any case/holder/band/whatever solution to carry the iPod touch.
I use an old 1st gen iPod shuffle (the white one) and hold it in my right hand while running, ready to adjust the volume or skip to the next song at a moment's notice. For me, it is ideal.

  • I can't download Mountain Lionged or was not signed". I have tried re-downloading Lion combo 10.7.4 but no good, any more ideas please.

    I can't download Mountain Lion I keep getting a message stating, "Re product distribution file could not be verified, it may be damaged or was not signed". I have tried re-downloading Lion combo 10.7.4 but no good, any more ideas please.

    Had the same problem and could solve it. Do you have any Virusscanner software running like for example VirusBarrier ?
    The following did the trick for me: I disabled my Virusscanner software and afterwards I could download.
    Worst come to worse : delete your security software, reboot and downlaod afterwards. Re-install deleted
    software after Mountain Lion has been installed.
    Good luck

  • Data Merge - many records, good alternative?

    Hello,
    I need to data merge 780 records.  And to top it all off, each record will be two pages...So we're looking at a total of 1560 pages.  I know InDesign data merge isn't meant for this many records.
    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good alternative. Perhaps a plugin or another program?
    Thanks a lot,
    kdubbie

    I think Data Merge could handle it just fine, but if there is other static content on these two pages, you'd be far better off finding a printer with VDP capabilities. The Data Merged doc requires processing ALL of the content on each page before printing it where a true VDP solution like XMPie would process the static data once, then insert the varialbe data into the print stream.
    Are you concerned about the merge itself, or printing it after?

  • Is there anybody out there who is still using Appleworks Database and is there a good alternative?

    Is there anybody else out there who is still using Appleworks Database and is there a good alternative?

    There is no replacement program that will directly read Appleworks database files.
    You have two options:
    1.  Continue to use Appleworks 6.2.9, which requires Rosetta installed in Snow Leopard, or the access to Rosetta by installing Snow Leopard Server in virtualization for use in Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks:
                                       [click on image to enlarge]
    2.  Export your database information into a common export function (such as delimited ASCII text file) and build a new database file in an alternate database program (such as Filemaker Pro) and import your information into it.  More information here:

  • Is SECURE BACKUP a good alternative to Veritas Netbackup ?

    Folks,
    With Oracle becoming more and more "one place - get all" company, i guess for support perspective, it will good to use or atleast start evaluating different Oracle products that are used with RDBMS
    Got a question, Is Secure Backup product having all the capabilities and can it be a viable alternative to veritas netbackup ? I got the documentation and presentations. But it will be pleasing to know if somebody has already switched to secure backup from netbackup utility.
    -Thanks

    Hi,
    Our application is entirely Oracle-based, so OSB was a good fit. The solution originally had NBU as the backup technology but was very expensive (I spent several days fighting off the Symantec account manager), even after generous discounts.
    My experience of Oracle RMAN interfacing with NBU was patchy, but with OSB it "worked first time" - much more seamless. After some initial device configuration issues, we are now up and running in development, and I'm looking at rolling OSB out across 80 Solaris servers, including OAS and RAC servers.
    Cheers.

  • Is Capture One a good alternative to LR?

    First I would like to say hallo, as it is my first post here.
    Hi, I've been using LR for a few years now. Lately I downloaded trail of Capture One, and I found it very well made. Now I am bit confused with my preferences, should I stick with LR or move to Capture One? Big adavantage for me is that in C1 there is no need to import photos to catalog (there is no catalog at all). Can you describe your experience working with both aplications over time please?

    1. You're always editing a preview in any editor.
    2. Lr makes the best previews, and
    3. Lets one faithfully edit them because they're camera specific
    4. stores those previews for future reference, so
    5. any RAW editor which tells you it isn't making a catalog (processing images into something intelligible) or denies you repeat access to the catalog it's made, is
    6. Not good at all by Lr standards, so
    7. Your only choice is Lr if you edit what starts out as a RAW file.
    and 8. if you edit JPEG, you'll be amazed at the conversion to editing RAW, so
    9. if you're camera, by definition, always makes a RAW file, use that so you'll be amazed, and find that,
    10. the upshot is, chuck Camera nOne if it does not let you reference the catalog or doesn't edit RAW (which is what I suspect the issue to be).
    Never used Camera One, but I cannot imagine not having a catalog.
    The Lr catalog is about creating accurate thumbnails (in Catalog view) and 100%  (1:1) previews for non-distructively editing RAW files made by DSLR (or, amazingly, now, some high-end point 'n' shoots, I've heard tell).
    See, if your shooting with RAW and then editing the result, you are editing a "preview" because RAW data must be interpolated into something intelligible to, well, in the end, the Human Eye (your monitor, the edit features of the program, etc). RAW, in it's raw format is (to be nontechnical and with an intended pun) just a bunch of black or white dots in a matrix. The tone and the hue are a matter of interpretation by your camera and by any editor you're using if you're processing the RAW files (or JPEGs, in fact). http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cameras-photography/digital/question362.htm
    Two points about the link: It references only what a DSLR (single lens reflex) does when it talks about a prism directing to the viewfinder and then fractionally, allowing light to hit the "negative" or imaging sensor. Alas, very notably missing is that the CMOS sensor  (or CCD on some, still) has an array of Red, Blue and Green "filters" in front of it's pixels which "sorts" the photons which arrive at each simiconductor so that the blue photons hit the "blue-sensing" simiconductors. Your camera then knows that it read a "blue" photon. Also, the intensity is somewhat a matter of local averages because once the "electron" from the semiconductor carrys the information, it cannot give intensity data specific to the photon that started the process.
    See Kodak's PDF on the Bayer array, they invented the thing: http://www.kodak.com/global/plugins/acrobat/en/business/ISS/supportdocs/ColorCorrectionfor ImageSensors.pdf
    In fact, what you're seeing on the viewer on the back of your camera is a preview (in many a JPEG preview) of the shots which are always RAW files, by definition. But it's controlled by your camera, see? Well, Lr applies a standard specific to your camera to render those previews (which is always what your editing in any RAW editor). The catalog is a set of lesser previews which I find acceptable.
    My point is that you are always seeing a preview of a RAW file whatever editor you use. Some are less faithful than the standard preview generator, Adobe's Camera Raw.
    Aside:
    In actuality, I usually make all of my catalog previews 1:1 (each pixel represented faithfully in Catalog module) so I can see what I will have in the Develop mode before I switch over (one cannot have a grid display Develop, so I cheat and make the Library show me a 1:1 on every image). The Develop module is not about viewing and arranging, keywording, rating, and generally managing your images, it's about, well, Developing them). Cataloging one's previews 1:1 uses a whole lot of memory, though. The standard's will suffice. What I'm saying is that Develop always renders a 1:1 preview so you can faithfully edit your RAW 'negatives.'
    That's a RAW editor, in a nutshell.
    What makes RAW great to work with is that it shows all data your camera gathered about each pixel. JPEG format compresses this information in "lossy" ways that I never knew when I was shooting with a point 'n' shoot to 'get used to digital' before I went to a DSLR, and shudder to think about now.
    If you're editing JPEGs (which may be what Capture none is for), then disregard the foregoing.
    If your editing RAW, erase Capture none from your computer, because, in Lr you've found a program which can faithfully represent images from all makes and models very well (all = vast majority) and creates an .lrcat file which references data (the previews) in the Previews.lrdata folder which is a compendium of the initial imports and of all of the edits you've made. These files are what you work with and may be differently named, of a different programatic process, and of vastly different 'quality' per application.
    I'd say that an application that doesn't let you access them in Library style view, or doesn't save them at all, is chinzy.
    So, if RAW is your game (if not try, set your camera to RAW and not JPEG or both if you want both to compare and can tolerate a massive reduction in the storage of your in-camera medium), chuck Camera nOne, it is a ridiculous alternative.
    If JPEG is your game and I just blew your mind, set your camera to RAW (or both, if need be, to to compare). You'll be amazed at having the ability actually to edit the images from your camera (which are always born as RAW data at the very beginning).

  • Looking for new All in One. Is Officejet as good as Photosmart? Please recommend an All in One.

    I have the HP Photosmart C7180 All in One that's a few years old and is starting to give me a lot of errors (mostly ink level errors).  I'm thinking about replacing it, because I want one that doesn't use as much ink -- and one that has a bigger scanner bed (at least 11 x 14 or bigger).  I'm a budding artist and I want to have the ability to scan in my drawings.
    However, I do print a few photos now and then.  Does anyone know if Officejets will print decent pictures?
    Please recommend an All in One (the newer the better) for my needs. 

    Thanks! It sounds like a potential nightmare. Does
    anyone have a different experience? I'm not
    committed to an all-in-one, but it does save space.
    If you're willing to take time and effort into the process, HP's MFDs and Brother's MFDs work... mostly. HP has even improved their drivers. It took 'em long enough.
    No, I repeat, no MFD I've ever seen has been trouble-free, Mac or Windows. That includes Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, and (ugggh!) Lexmark devices. They all give problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems. HPs and Brothers give the least trouble with Epson a close third... but YMMV. I know people who swear by Canon, while in my personal experience Canon devices have been... not so good. But it was a limited sample, and maybe I had lemons.
    Most MFDs (that is, everyone but Brother) don't easily do networking unless it's a Specific Feature™. My HP PSC1350, for instance, does not believe that such a thing as a network exists, and is that way if connected to Macs or Windows machines. I can make it visible over the network, but it's a pain.
    If you want wireless network printing, get a wireless router (hint: Apple sells something called an AirPort Base Station) or access point which has a USB port and supports putting printers on the network. Note that you'll likely not be able to scan over the network.
    There are network MFDs; HP makes some. They're expensive. The OfficeJet 74xx is $500, and it's the cheap HP network MFD. I do NOT own one, so I have no idea how well they work, other than they're HPs... which means that the hardware will probably be excellent, and the software dreck.

  • Ia there a good alternative to Microsoft windows server for enterprise?

    Hi Guys, I work at a small (22 FTE's) public(not-for-profit) art galley. We are currently a mixed pc/mac office with various departments, all with different needs. Communications/Design are Mac. 2/3rds of the Curatorial is Mac, 1/3rd PC. Public Programs is mostly Mac with one PC. The accounting, giftshop, and Databases are all PC. The giftshop and accounting use ACCPAC. The collections (artwork collection that is) department uses FileMaker Pro backend, with a frontend called "Virtual Collections". We very much dislike Virtual Collections BTW. Our other database, which handles membership, and financial donation tracking, is @EASE. Because we are not-for-profit our overall budget for IT is relatively small, and the system is the way it is because of years of neglect, and stop-gap purchases. We use a Microsoft Server with Exchange. We are in the process of building a new gallery, and with it the ability to start fresh on a number of levels. One of which is our Server. Personally I'd like to see us move away from the Microsoft server ecosystem. It is cumbersome, requiring lots of IT support (which we contract out by the way, and costs us a tidy little sum yearly on top of MS Server licensing etc.) Our Management team is considering going to an all PC environment with the (I feel mistaken) attitude that "if all computers are the same flavour, the whole system will run more smoothly and thus be less expensive to manage". As on of the Mac users within this system, who knows a little about, but is no expert in, computers and networks in general, I'd like to be able to open a dialogue with management at this crucial juncture on alternatives to the system we now use.  I had run across a website some time ago that outlined the "real cost of owning and operating Microsoft Servers" but can not seem to locate it anymore. It basically broke down all costs of running a Microsoft environment, and concluded that, over time, it is not very cost efficient, especially for small enterprise. Has anybody run across any really good server alternatives to Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Windows Server (I think ours is 2008)? We are a relatively small city, and the IT/Networking companies here all seem to push Microsoft as a be-all-end-all. I'm not so sure. I'd like to present viable alternatives with sound arguments to back them up. Can you guys help? Or, an you point me toward someone who can? Thanks guys, keep up the good work, Tmamer 

    Have you ever got this resolved?
    I noticed your VIP and Public IP are not on the same subnet, i thought they had to be?
    like both 10.x.x.x and subnet 255.0.0.0 or something like that?
    Could this be your problem?
    I am trying to setup a two node cluster Oracle Rac 10g on IBM Blade Center H with HS21 XM blades.
    My problem is trying to setup HA and not have a single point of failure and in order to do this, it almost seems as if i need 4 network interfaces in the HS21 blade so i can team 2 together.
    Did you guys purchase any addition expansion cards for these servers for that reason?
    My understanding is that each HS21 have by default 2 nics, and they each go to one of the two internal cisco switches (within the entire bladecenter).
    So if for instance we have one of the cisco switch die, like the one that has the public interface plugged into it, then we could not longer access the rac and that would be a single point of failure. So unless we can have 4 interfaces on the blade, and have them 2 teamed with each nic going to one of the cisco internal switches. So if any one cisco switch die's it just uses the other one.
    Any thoughts, suggestions?

  • Invoices posted without good receipt initial posting - please help

    Can u please help me ?
    If u need more information please ask me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mário.

    Hi
    If you see these invoices in the vendor line items, all would have got payment block in it. Unless GR is done for these PO's, it will not get released automatically. If GR is not required for these invoices, then you will be able to make payment. But if GR based IV is ticked in PO, unless you do GR, you will not be able to make payment to the vendor.
    You can still post GR through MIGO for the same PO. System will allow you to post GR for these invoices.
    Award points if found useful.

  • Any good alternatives to DVD burning? VCD? S-VHS?

    I am totally disillusioned with the time it takes to encode and burn a DVD with my PB. AppleCare acknowledges that it takes 8x - 10x source material for successful burning & if you look on these (amazingly honest & helpful)forums you soon learn that DVD burning on any Mac can be very intimidating and problematic.
    I am wondering if there is info readily available for alternatives:
    1. VCD burning. I have a ton of small clips and could trim down larger clips to burn onto cds. Are there crazy problems with this as with DVDs?
    2. This PB has an S-VHS output & I got a stereo audio cord for output. Will videos created like this be viewable? I suppose it depends on the quality of original material & how do I find this info?
    My PB is loaded with every imaginable video and audio pro & standard app. including ToastTitanium7, FinalCutPro, CinemaTools, DVD-StudioPro, QuickTimePro7 etc.
    I was praying that DVD burning was a lot simpler than my experiences with Windows based machines. There one needed to have a stand alone powerhouse & Re-Install Windows every couple dozen burns to get rid of all the corruption but not even doing that with a Mac seems to make the process as easy as Advertised. Live & learn.
    thanks,
    frank

    I can only speak from my experience, but I've not found creating and burning DVDs to be at all intimidating and certainly not problematic. Every video DVD I've created has gone smoothly; your mileage may vary, of course. Please note that these forums are for people who are having problems; the many, many people who use their systems with no trouble at all have little incentive to post in a troubleshooting forum.
    I notice that you list a number of pro apps including DVD Studio Pro; DVDSP is not intended for consumer use and has a very steep learning curve (although DVDSP 4 has a mode with a simplified interface that's easier, but it still takes some learning). If you want simple, you should be using iDVD; that's Apple's consumer application for creating video DVDs, and the latest versions of iDVD and iMovie (part of iLife '06) make it, in my experience, about as easy as it can get. You can get results with DVD Studio Pro that you cannot with iDVD, but it's going to take work, just as working with FInal Cut Pro will involve more learning time than working with iMovie.
    As to creation time for the disk, that's strictly a function of how fast your system can process. Compressing to MPEG-2 (which is the format video DVDs use and which is what takes the majority of the time involved in burning the DVD) takes a lot of processor horsepower, and a single-processor PowerBook isn't going to be as fast as a dual-processor G4 and much less so than a G5. If you're encoding and burning DVDs regularly, you might want to consider moving to a system with higher processing power. To optimize compression time on your PB in the meanwhile, make sure that no other application is running when you're processing the DVD and that your system has plenty of available hard drive space (for the temporary files that will be created).
    As to alternatives, that depends on your needs. If you need playback in a DVD player, then burning a DVD will be your best route. Very few players can play a VCD, and as MacNoel said, quality isn't stellar. Whether or not VHS would be an acceptable alternative only you can say.
    Regards.

  • Good alternative to E51

    Hi there have had my E51 smartphone for ages and like it very much but feel like a change - all I am missing off the E51 really is no autofocus, no flash on the camera, & vga filming and built in GPS, so what model (i know I will have to be looking at a second-hand mobile) would fit my requirements?
    So to recap the phone I am looking for would be: a Nokia, Symbian S60, Wi-Fi, GPS (possibly), Autofocus rear camera with LED flash, Front facing VGA Camera (possibly), FM Radio, Mini SD card, Non-Touch screen, same LCD screen where you can see image even when backlight off, mini USB socket, Charge by USB socket, Flashing LED notification light on front for missed calls and messages, inbuilt slide out QWERTY Kepad (Possibly).
    What model number(s) Nokia phones fit that criteria please so I can search on ebay for one? Thanks.

    Good question. I bought a secondhand N86 to replace my E51. Comparing the two, here is what I prefer about the N86:
    GPS: a little quicker and more reliable than Maps Booster on E51
    autofocus and LED flash
    [does have front facing camera, I'm not using it]
    full-size headphone jack
    email stays on all the time checking for mail
    FM Radio broadcasting to connect to stereo, car stereo
    Internet Radio more reliable
    typing T9 a little more reliable; buttons better defined to sense of touch
    VGA filming
    camera much better, better Gallery program
    bigger screen
    While some things disappoint in comparison to the E51:
    N86 noticeably heavier, harder to hold one handed, harder to hold while reading news etc for long time, harder to pocket; yet, also, almost too small when slide is not out; in general it is just harder to always have it with me
    fiddly slide mechanism: wastes time, makes phone harder to hold because keypad profile so thin
    no 'send to self' in email program; no apparent easy way of keeping sent emails on your IMAP server
    email program, although 'updated', seems to require extra steps to check/read mail, and yet still does not off the full IMAP functionality
    maximum ~1,500 addresses (had 2,500 in my E51); memory runs out with more
    haven't found a flashing LED notification light
    screen hard to read in sunlight; bad for camera use
    It does surprise me how Nokia has been unable to improve on the E51, it is such a great phone and just needs a few tweaks really. But the E52 was not available in America, the C3-01 seems to have been withdrawn, and all the other recent candybar phones have drawbacks compared to the E51 (in my opinion). Nokia has uniquely offered a tiny-form-factor, capable smart phone for three years and does not seem to have developed it. I presume it did not sell well.
    The E51 was not great at first, but its size and the following programs really made it work well for me: T9 Nav, Maps Booster, SmartConnect and Opera Mini
    To be honest, I would almost stay with your E51 and wait and see what else Nokia can come up with. If you were thinking of getting a bigger, heavier phone, there are a lot more choices and not just Nokia.

Maybe you are looking for
