Solution for dead and dying Bretford carts

I teach 7th grade social studies at a middle school in SC with 360 iTouches and more than 100 iPads. We use what I believe is the first generation Bretford cart to charge and sync groups of 40 (20 per drawer). At the beginning of the year one of our carts simply had no power to either drawer. I have followed the trouble shooting tips of plugging and unplugging power supply cables. I even replaced the main power supply cable with a cart that was functioning. The only "electrical" components appear to be where the USB cables gather inside the drawer and a junction box that splits the power for the two drawers.
I am looking for suggestions for repair or replacement.
The warranty is out on the cart and Bretford's suggestion is to ship it back to them. That does not make a lot of sense. Currently, I am using four brand new 12-port usb hubs to charge and sync our dead cart. But these have already started having issues. I am getting error messages that sycning and charging are not supported on the device.
Does anyone have any suggestions for either repairing the Bretford cart or a proven, reliable replacement?

I cannot find the solution to this Bretford cart in the forum; can someone direct me to the answer? I have a similar problem but it specifically is related not to the power to the cart but to the USB cable going to the lower drawer which apparently was torn by a user (it has only one end with the USB connection; the other is torn wire). I need to replace it but don't know if this is possible. Does anyone know? There is no obvious way to take the cart apart to even get to the metal "box" in the drawer where the other end of the USB cable would go. Any suggestions?

Heat up the bottom rubber mat with a hairdryer for 5-10 minutes to loosen the adhesive, then pull the rubber mat away from the bottom metal plate carefully.
Then use a screwdriver to remove the 10-12 screws to open up the case.

Annoture - Metadata Bridging Solution for Aperture and iView

Aperture and iView users:
I just released Annoture, a metadata bridging solution for Aperture and iView MediaPro! With Annoture, you’re just a click away from sharing metadata between these two popular image management and cataloguing applications. Spend more time working with your decisive moments than worrying about double-entry and incomplete metadata!
Annoture lets you transfer annotations from iView MediaPro catalogs to Aperture projects and albums and back. This two-way transfer of IPTC and metadata information means you are not tied to any one application for your image management and workflow needs. Annoture also features a modular interface that can be extended to support additional applications in the future.
http://www.tow.com/software/annoture/
Users of Aperture and iView can download a fully-functional version of Annoture. The unregistered version will occasionally display a reminder to register, and all images processed in Aperture by Annoture will have a custom “Annotated with Annoture!” tag added. You can remove these items with the full version after purchasing and entering your license code.
Enjoy!

Unbelievable no solution for FMS3 and FLVPlayback???

I've spent the past 2 days scouring Google and dozens (easily over 100) websites
trying to find an answer to something that people do every day!
I am absolutely shocked that this info is not available anywhere online.
A simple FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlayback example....
totaly not simple and not possible to find!!
I try every possible combination:
import fl.video.*;
VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;
myVideo.autoPlay = true;
myVideo.isLive = true;
myVideo.isLive = false;
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/videos/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/videos/flvName.flv";
myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/flvName.flv";
none is working!!
i did not find any working simple solution for:
FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlayback
anywere on the web
only for:
FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and Video and NetStream
if someone could bring "salvation" to this required important issue
i will be so thankfull
cheinan

Janaki L thanks a lot for your replay
i think i know where the problam come from
its from point number 8 in your raplay:
8. Make sure you have a publisher connected to your 'server' using the 'appname'
and streaming a live stream with the name 'streamname'
I thought i do not need a publisher to be connected to my appname in my server.
i thought FLVPlayback is doing the netConnection and start streaming the flv
that are already published and sitting on the server.
Is it not possible for the user that use swf with the FLVPlayback to make a netConnection
by ac3 code or some other wey and the FLVPlayback will use that connection to play the flv for that user
without third party connected publisher?
If not - maybe i can use HTTP to let the FLVPlayback play the flv for the user
but that bring me to other problem:
my localhost is at:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
the flv is at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\appName\streams\videos\flvName.flv
what will be the http url for the flv?

Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4

Hi guys
I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
What they do and want
- edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
- use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
- needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
Existing Setups on work stations:
Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
Highend motherboards
GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
Software:
Windows XP 32 bit
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
AE CS3
etc..
Running NOD32 Antivirus
I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
1) is this the right move?
2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards to all

in a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
in terms of rendering
Core i7
Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
Sonnet raid array

IS THIS THE SOLUTION FOR DEAD SHUFFLES???

I think I may have found a solution to the Shuffle/iTunes 7 issue that doesn't involve buying a new mp3 player or banging it on the desk lol!! I was having all the same troubles described by everyone else (flashing lights, "cannot update", not recognising etc etc..) but I could still see my Shuffle in Windows Explorer so I decided to try and load some music on just like I was loading files onto a regular Stick Drive. I clicked and dragged a couple of album files over to the drive which it accepted. Of course when I tried to play them nothing happened. The cool part is that when I turned on iTunes it now recognised my Shuffle. I loaded some music on and it worked fine for the first time since dowloading iTunes 7. I then went back into Windows Explorer and deleated the album files I had dragged across and bingo I have my full 496MB capacity and a working Shuffle. This may be a coincidence or might need to be done in tandem with something else I've done over the last 2 days or something else may have happened unbeknownst to me (an Apple update??) but give it a go if you're still having trouble - it might be the solution???

As Jeff mentioned, unfortunately, the info provided is incorrect. Most external hard drives do not have the ability to act as a host device. Meaning, when you plug your camera into a computer, it generally mounts the camera as a drive (or provides similar functionality). You then use your computer to pull the information from the camera. If you simply connect an external drive directly to the camera (as this solution suggests), there is no way to get the data from the camera to the drive. You can generally daisy chain firewire connections... meaning you can connect your camera to a firewire drive and if the firewire drive has multiple firewire ports, you can then connect the second port to a computer with firewire. This is not an option for you as you already know there is no firewire on the MacBook. There is some misconception that for external drives with multiple interfaces (firewire and USB and or eSATA) that you can connect a camera to the drives firewire interface and then connect the drive to your computer using the USB connection. Unfortunately, you can't daisy chain across different interfaces, the drive can only support data throughput through one interface at a time.
Still an external drive is good to have for backups, etc... but it is not a solution for your problem.

Temporary solution for PSDs and Illustrator 64 bit

I found a temporary solution to the problem of placing or opening PSDs on 64bit computers in Illustrator CS3 and CS4.
Right click the icon for Illustrator and select Properties /
Compatibility
Then select Run this program in compatibility mode for
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
It doesn't affect the other programs - only temporarily changes the screen for Illustrator only.
I can now open and place layered PSDs directly into Illustrator again.

Best HW solution for Avid and FCP

Hi there,
I have a MacPro system running both FCP and Avid. I'm currently using a Mojo to monitor from Avid and just using my DSR-25 to monitor output from FCP. However, it's a little annoying having to disconnect or change wires every time I want to use a different system.
Does anyone know of any hardware that would provide monitoring for both systems that would also connect up to a DVCam based deck at the same time? I currently use a DAC-10 at work but it seems to have problems when a deck is connected to it. Or am I best to stick with the Mojo and get a PCI-E based solution for FCP? Many thanks!

Don't think there's a fix for you here... the codecs used by Avid and those used by FCP aren't the same so all hardware made for the systems is unique to the systems they are intended for. I'd suggest you get off the fence and go one way or the other and stay there...
Look at AJA products for the best in FCP monitoring solutions. You can't have two FW devices connected at the same time either. i.e. the DAC and a FW deck... the OS doesn't deal with more than one at a time.

Seeking solution for css and js making client very heavy around 800KB

I have developed GUI using web dynpro,
deployed the application in enterprise portal,
when i save the web page in local machine from browser(IE),
the HTML + css+ js file size comes around 700-800KB.
How can i reduce this so that i can use it in internet.
For internet application noone can afford more than 40 KB in client, Please any solution to the above problem ASAP

Dear jian
The css and js are around 500 KB.
These files get downloaded only when the request is for the first time.
So first time hit will be time taking but from the next time it will be fast.
If u can check and tell the file sizes of css and js of your application, then i can compare with mine.
But generally web applications should be very light in size.so , should i go for struts and can u give me the
advantages and disadvantages of web dynpro against struts.
Web dynpro pages are rendered in client browser ? and which framework does it follow ? is it ajax or ?????

Developing solutions for small and medium enterprises (FREE)?

I heard that Oracle Express DATABASE is free. Is it absolutely true?
Also I heard that if you use developer (forms, reports builder) and you leave the FMX / REP files in your customer it is also for free (no license cost).
How true is it?
Oh, the real question is...
what would you suggest?
Developing small solutions in web (with VISUAL STUDIO <dot net>) connecting with ORACLE EXPRESS?
or Still use developer 6.1 (remember for small and medium enterprises).
I suggest your comments.
gracias

That is only half true, and the part about Oracle Express only applies as long as the database remains less than 1 GB in size.
I have not heard any indication that Developer 6i/9i/10g content can be developed and used without a license. Oracle Applications Express (HTMLDB replacement) is a cool Free tool that interacts well with Oracle Express.

Qosmio X300-16D - thermal pad/paste solution for CPU and Nvidia MCP

Can anyone suggest a good (specific) thermal solution for the Qosmio X300-16D CPU and Nvidia MCP?
I ask because there is a slight complication with the 16D (an SLI setup)... the heatsink for the CPU and Nvidia MCP are connected in the same thermal module, but while the CPU heatsink is screwed down, the Nvidia MCP chip is not - so there is a large gap between that chip and the heatsink.
I'm guessing some form of thermal pad should be used here rather than grease/paste? Does anybody know what thermal pad has been used by Toshiba for this, or point me to a high quality replacement that is suitable to be used?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi
As far as I know the thermal grease 776 (part num: K000055600) could be used.
But there are different cooling pends as mentioned by Akuma.
There is an thermal fan 1 for DUAL-VGA (K000061940) and thermal fan 2 for dual VGA (K000061950) as well.
I assume both are for SLI configuration.
There are also some other cooling modules for VGA (VGA THERMAL MODULE-1-GT-NB9E K000065560 and VGA THERMAL MODULE-2-NB9E-W/O TMA K000065560)
You can google for these part numbers Found all in internet

Solution for teachers (and others) to lock down the iPod

Hello all. I just have to share something I found yesterday. If you've seen other posts of mine, I am a teacher with a class set of iPod nanos. I have audiobooks on them so the students can listen to and read the book at the same time. My problem was that there are preinstalled games on the iPod nano that cannot be removed. After contacting my educational contact at Apple, she said they have sent it up the pipes, but as of yet there is no solution. Well I found one!
First off, it is not my solution. I attended FETC this year and went back to their website and found a partial solution. The person's name is Luis Perez. He has two websites: http://etc.usf.edu/te_mac/ for mac and http://etc.usf.edu/te_win/ for windows. So here is how you do it.
Create a text file in a text editor that has the following:
<meta name="NotesOnly" content="true">
save the file as preferences.txt
Create another text file with the following:
Name of link goes here
Here is my completed one:
Click for Audiobooks
Save this under whatever filename you want. I chose Audiobooks.txt
In iTunes make sure you have a playlist named whatever you put in the file. (NOTE: it must be a playlist, it wouldn't link to just audiobooks)
Sync the iPod in disk mode. Open the iPod in Finder or explorer and copy both files into the NOTES folder. Eject the iPod. Now the only thing the iPod will do is go to the notes folder. (it is in a sense 'locked down') Your other file should be listed. When you open that file (audiobooks.txt) it will say the name of your link. When you click that it will start with the first song/book in that playlist. You cannot go to any other thing on the iPod. When you hit menu, it goes right back to the notes folder.
PLEASE NOTE: if you want to 'unlock' the iPod, just trash the preferences.txt file you put on there.
I know it is rather long, but it is a solution I have been looking for. I am hoping other teachers or people who need to secure the iPod for whatever reason are helped by this. Let me know if you have questions.
<Edited by Moderator>

Bizarre, I can't figure out how to edit it. I can't figure out how to get it to show up right either! Anyway. 2 links showed up that aren't supposed to be there.
I can't figure out how to stop it from linking. <Edited by Moderator>

APEX_ITEM.TEXT and solution for enabling and dispabling a button

Hi All,
Please let me know how can we have a format mask for an Item created using apex_item.text.
I would like to add a Number format mask with three decimals in this report column
APEX_ITEM.TEXT (2, INV_VALUE, 15, 20, 'readonly=readonly style=""')
Also do let me know the following points based on the followup to this link:
Use of Checkbox in Report for calculation and determine checked records
1. How can I enable or disable a button based on value of a Page Item being > 0, this also should be done when a check box is checked or unchecked.
2. One more clarification about adding the total depending upon check box checked or unchecked.
On checking and un-checking the total gets added and subtracted as required, but I have noticed that the the session values of the Item for Total is not as the one displayed. Why is it so. Please guide.
Thanks & regards
Arif Khadas

Hi Vee,
Thanks for the reply.
document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an objectCheck if the button is rendered with id="PAY_DUES"+ or not. You can view the HTML source code of the button and see if it has such an id or not. The source code is as follows:
<a href="javascript:popUp2('f?p=1002:23:3713834878987986::NO::P23_INVOICES,P23_RCP_AMOUNT_PAID:,0', 320, 450)" class="t20Button">Pay Dues</a>
Else add an id attribute to the button in button attributes(ensure that you have the BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES substitution string used in the button template)Template of button is as follows and the Substitution String #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# is not Referenced.
<a href="#LINK#" class="t20Button">#LABEL#</a>
but I have noticed that the the session values of the Item for Total is not as the one displayedThe session value of the item is usually set when you submit the page or use an ajax process/ Dynamic Action to set it. If you this is required , set the item's session state calling a dummy/null ondemand process or a dummy PLSQL dynamic Action using the item name in the "List of items to Submit" field.This issue is resolved for me in other thread.
Thanks & Regards
