[solved]Oops. Stuck at "partition harddrive" Need quick help...

I want to try other filesystem types beside ext. I don't see any options on the Arch install for JFS or ReiserFS. So I thought I would do the partitioning with something else. So I popped in my Puppy Live CD and in gparted all the formats besides ext, fat and swap are greyed out. What's up with that? How do I use other filesystems?

(G)parted are for partitioning - that has nothing to do with what filesystem will be actually put onto the partitions. I guess in the installer the "format" part is what you're looking for. I'm about 1/2 positive that Arch installer lets you choose the filesystem, at least jfs and xfs except for ext2/3. You just need to proceed beyond partitioning.
EDIT: Another piece of information is that partitions have "types", which is quite meaningless thing, but it's there. The most common types are "linux", "linux swap", "fat", "ntfs" (and there are many others). This is what a partitioning program lets you set. Again, this has no influence whatsoever on what filesystem you put on.
EDIT2: Thinking some more gives that maybe gparted even lets you format partitions - but it might as well be that the formatting tools for jfs, xfs and reiserfs are not included on your puppy cd, hence gparted doesn't let you format a partition with those.

Need Quick Help if Possible

I have two big questions that I need urgent help with.
1. Can you reference a background image in flash that will
change montly?
2. Can you reference Microsoft Reporting Services to publish
reports through a flash interface in SharePoint?
I know these are crazy questions, but I am working with a
client and need to know whether this is possible ASAP as I have to
get it completed by COB tomorrow if it is possible.
Thanks so much!

Remove all the videos that won't play from your iPod. Go to the Store menu in iTunes, Deauthorize your computer, play one of the videos in question and when prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Resync the videos.

I need quick help - iDVD5 crashes

I apologize in advance for the redundance of this topic, as I realize that the issues I'm facing are probably largely documented here, but my problem is I have very little time ahead of me and I can't browse all the topics.
I have 15 odd hours to burn an iMovie film, and here are the issues I've encountered so far :
- When trying to burn a DVD in iDVD5 (updated to the last version), I either get crashes at phase 2 (processing menus) or stalling task bar as it is processing the video itself. Right now it's stuck, no beachball, just the radioactive icon spinning. The video sequence it's actually stuck in was processed in another try, only to stop at another farther in the film.
- I've tried both direct burning and imagedisk burning (via the menu and via that little "plugin" (press alt+ctrl), I'm getting only crashes and stalling.
My config is a dual 1Ghz G4 MDD, and I'm working on my internal HD.
I'm sorry if this has been covered, but I'm very very busy and I would appreciate any quick feedback on this.
Thanks a lot
Fred

Fred,
get crashes at phase 2 (processing menus)
That is VERY odd...
My config is a dual 1Ghz G4 MDD, and I'm working on my internal HD.
Your profile says Dual 500...
Do you have 20GB+ free on your start-up hard drive?
This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

What plugin???

I am very lost and need quick help. my i photo is not working, can't open it. unexpected closed-

when i want to open my i phozo it open it for 2 seconds, then it closes and it says it was unexpected closed and and i have the selecction to choose between ok and try again, when i press try again, its the same like before. now im very very very worried that my pictures are gone... terrible... pleeeeeeeease help!!!!!!

1. Make a back up:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
2. Give us details:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Problems with MSN Messenger - need quick help

I posted yesterday that I was having some trouble with my Ameritrade stock trading account, it was a java issue and they had me delete the cache in java and my Ameritrade worked again.
Now this morning I'm having problems with MS messenger which I use all day long for my job. When I try to sign in it keeps telling me it can't sign me in and I must not be connected to the internet. Which I am.
Its got some thing to do with my airport wireless thingy. Is there some way to "open" that up. When I unplug it and then replug it back in I can sign in to MS messenger for about a minute but then it somehow blocks it.
It keeps me on the internet but I get a message that I an not connected to .NET Messenger service. It is blocking me on my laptop PC now too. And it behaves the same way. After unplugging the airport I get a quick window where I can sign in but after that it blocks that .NET messenger service.
Is there some way I can open up the airport so I can get on the NET messenger service. Skype and iChat work but I can't use either for my job.
Does anyone have any suggestions (I'm begging here cuz i start work at 9:30 am and I need it working by then!).
Thanks, Susan

Wow this is a mess, I want to add that again i'm sure its the airport extreme somehow. However on my PC laptop I can sign into messenger with an older version of it but when i try the new LIVE messenger it won't let me sign in.
The iMac version forces you to use the latest version so I can't use an older "non live" version to sign in with. I am praying someone can help me figure out what is wrong.
Thanks sorry for reposting but i'm frantic!
Susan

Problem in output file generation in AL11 tcode - need quick help

Hi experts,
Scenario:- Proxy to File ( file is generated in AL11 directory folder.
Probelm:
Last field value is generated with correct values in SXMB_MONI output payload, But when I open a file in AL11 the last field fiew value are getting trimmed. Also when I get the dump of file - file also has the same trimmed value.
For example: Expected value in MONI is 12345 where as in AL11 i m getting 1234
I have reduce the length of previous fields and run the scenario again - for this scenario all the values are coming in AL11 as well as in MONI.
Is somthing to do with screen width length.

HI ,
Its a problem with File Transfer tcode sxda_tools and AL11 sometimes. Ask your Basis team to give you file contents from PI Server directly. This file should have right contents as you expected.
I also faced the same problem and wasted lot of time to solve it.
Hence, check the folder where you dump this file on application server and give this path to basis to provide you this file from server.

Not a programming type; need quick help for current project

I am helping a non-profit which is involved in a significant legal battle work with many thousands of e-mail messages for electronic discovery. While reasonably technically competent,I am not a programmer and don't have time to learn scripting, if that is the way to solve my problem.
I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003 (full version) to manipulate the e-mails necessary for the discovery into manageable folders. I have Acrobat Professional 8, and am turning the e-mails into packages using the Acrobat properties/options that embed in Outlook 2003 when both pieces of software are installed. The resulting packages have about 1500 .pdf files that must be reviewed by the attorney to determine if any of the documents are privileged.
My plan was that the attorney would review each package using Reader 8 and put an electronic yellow sticky on each document that was privileged so that we could go ahead and do the Bates numbering, but then be able to search on the sticky to pull out the documents into another package that would not be part of the discovery.
Now, the flaw in my plan - each individual file created through my process must be opened in Acrobat and permission to use the commenting function in Reader set for each individual document.
Because all the individual documents in the package will be open at the same time, could one of you marvelous linear thinkers out there give me a fix for this? There has to be an easier way than to open each of thousands of folders!!!!
TIA,
Mary

Unfortunately there is no programmatic way to "Reader Enable" (which adds the commenting ability in Reader you speak of) with Acrobat. Adobe creates a separate server-based product to allow you to do this, called LiveCycle Reader Extensiion Server.

Need quick help...

pruchased a hard drive for my hp EliteBook 8540w. Drive died on it..put new drive in booted several times but any OS i try to install says it cant find disk...is there a way to tell FOR SURE if the drive is being seen in the BIOS. I see under boot options that notebook harddrive is there. But I don't see anytihng that tells me for sure that the drive is being recognized....in the ole days you could see the drives that were connected...its been a while for me though. I'm an oldtimer i guess...

Hi:
You may have to install the sata achi drivers.
You definitely have to do that for XP.
For Vista, W7 & W8 try this...XP is different.
Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed -- 32 or 64 bit as applicable).
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rapi...
Extract the files onto a usb flash drive.
With the flash drive and Windows installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the Windows installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully Windows will install.

Need quick help closing port

I have created a server.java and client.java
The programs are not that good.
However I have a problem
I have ran my server a few times and each time need to use a diff port as the previous ones are being listnened to. Obviously from the last servers I ran.
I have switched my comp off and on many times and these ports are still in use.
Please help as I have no idea what is wrong.

I don't have a copy of XP at hand, so I can only give you some generalities.
Somewhere in the Control Panel, I think in the Administrative Tools folder, there should be a "Services" program that displays to some extent what programs you have running. Every program that's listening on a port should be listed in there.
It sounds like XP thinks you've only temporarily suspended your server program. I won't guarantee that's the case, but that's what sounds reasonable, and as a result, it is saving those "open" port numbers just in case you decide to resume the program.
If you have copies of server.java on that list (or rather, copies of the JVM), I would suggest closing all of your Java programs first, your web browsers to be on the safe side, and then "stop" and "remove" any remaining JVMs especially those that are tied to the ports you want to close.
(And yes, you are discovering the hard way why it's crucial that you remember to close your ports. The simplest way to do so is to write a method that closes all ports, and include it inside each and every try...catch block, as well as your exit routine.)

Need Quick Help: LR and PS issue

In my work flow, I do all of my adjustments in LR but I do send certain photos into PS to get fine tuned and then the file is usually re-imported back into LR so that I can organize my files and upload them to various sites and services.
The issue that I am having now, is that when I choose to save the photo as a full sized JPEG it no longer automatically imports in back into LR even if I manually do it. It only re-imports the photos automatically if I save it as a Tiff.
Someone recommended on another forum that I might need to change the file names which worked, but no longer linked the photo to the original cr2 file.
Could anyone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

Ever consider converting to DNG format? Not only is it a great alternative
to RAW + XMP files, it offers a lossless compression which can be great if
you're concerned about hard drive space. Adobe presents some very helpful
info about the DNG format here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/?promoid=DTEHA
You might want to read the thread. The OP is rendering the file to PS. Irrespective of whether the RAW file is converted to DNG or not this requires the creation of a TIFF or PSD.
Converting a TIFF to DNG would be pointless ,DNG is a TIFF itself, and create larger files as TIFF's zip compression, which is lossless, is not only the same as used by DNG but can also support layers which DNG cannot.
Personally the only time I open a file from LR into PS is when I have a issue that requires the use of layers as anything else editing wise can be done in LR. I always save with the layers intact so I can reopen if I need. This does create pretty large files, from even smallish originals, let alone 21 MP cameras. However I have loads of hard drive space. If you are short of hard drive space then just enable TIFF's zip compression, this will be at the expense of longer save and open times, but otherwise have no effect on the files itself other than reducing its size considerable.

To check the space.need quick help

i have to export a whole schema.how should i check if i have the enough space for tht.waht are the commads for it.
and i need to know how big is the schema.
OS is Unix
thnxs in advance
Navneet

Hi,
Not sure whether you are looking out for free space or used space.
If you want to know how big is the schema, then execute the following query:
select sum(bytes/1024/1024) SIZE_MB from dba_segments
where owner = <Schema_name>;
If you want to know how much free space is available in your database then execute the following query :
select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) FREE_MB from dba_free_space group by tablespace_name;

Need Quick Help with Unordered List in Table (text too small)

Hi,
I have a table with 2 unordered lists and the font size is smaller than what I need.
I'm using CSS and have checked all of my font sizes and I have all of what I consider my normal text set to 12.
When my client views the page on his browser, the unordered lists appears to be about a size 8. I checked on my cell phone and I see what he's talking about.
I set the <ul> and <li> to font size 12, but the problem still exists.
It's almost like the table is scaling the text down.
I worked all night trying to figure out what I've done wrong (newbie ) and I can't fix it and my client is waiting!
Here's the page: http://www.precisioncleaning.com/expert_witness_services.html
Please help!
Thanks,
Kathy

I tried adding a new CSS rule to the table font, but it didn't work.
I also edited the <tr> and <td> but still didn't work.
I think something higher up is messing the table up. I don't know anything about specificity or how to see who has the power to overwrite the table.
Do you?

My membership is over. And now I need quick help.
