Subdivision of data?

I'm working with a simple amplitude vs. time dataset. I would like to subdivide the time axis into an ~20 regions and generate a separate dataset for the points that fall in that region. What would be the best approach to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

Not sure of your question, but I presume that the data is in an array, so would you be able to use the array decimation function? Are the desired sub-sections uniform in size (same number of time samples?). If not it will be a bit more involved. Another approach would be to use the "delete from array function", which is usually more like a "split out of array"

Game Center Data

I have been surfing through the community forums trying to look for an answer to a question that I have respecting Achievements & Scores Data within the Game Center Application, but I haven't found a definitive answer as of yet.
As I do not want to crowd the storage space on my iPad with Game Apps, I figured that I would I play through a game, trying to attain all of the Achievements while doing so; and that once I've gotten through the game and have finished attaining the Achievements, I would delete the Game App from my iPad in order to preserve storage space. While playing the game, I would do an iCloud backup storage of Game Data just in case I lost the data - but once I've completed the game, I figured that I would terminate the iCloud backup.
My question is: Although deleting the Game App in addition to the iCloud backup data will terminate whatever game progress I have made, will the Game Center still have my Achievements & Scores on record? In other words: Does the Game Center save Achievements & Scores? - or is the particular Game Save Data tied into the Game Center's data, so that upon deletion of the Game App, all Achievements & Scores are wiped from the record? (I have a PS3, and my experience with earning Achievements (known on the PS3 as "Trophies"), is that Achievement Data is never lost - unless, I believe, you delete your PS3 account. So, on the PS3, I've deleted saved games and have never lost any Achievements that are stored on the PS3 online servers in connection with the account. Is my Apple ID, in the same way, connected to my Achievements & Score Data in the Game Center?)
I hope that someone can answer this for me. I really have no intention of preserving megabytes of Game Apps on my iPad if I am no longer using them, and I really have no intention of preserving Saved Data in iCloud's limited 5GB of free storage space.
(Note: I was trying to look specifically for "Game Center" [even as a subdivision within iOS Apps], but I couldn't find a particular community for this. I figured that asking my question in this particular section would do just as well.)
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could offer me a definitive answer to this question. ~Brian

Does anyone know why is that?

The x86 architecture has a standard formatting for disks that uses up to four primary partitions on a disk. On DOS or UNIX, you can view the partitions with 'fdisk'.
This is layer that Windows and Linux tends to use for filesystems.
Solaris though uses only one of those partitions for its own use (marking it a Solaris partition) and places a label similar to that on a SPARC disk (VTOC). So within the single x86 partition are several further subdivisions (slices).
On solaris, the disk might be /dev/dsk/c0t0d0. You could access one of the Solaris (VTOC) slices as /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0. As far as I know, Linux does not understand how to address the Solaris VTOC slices (If this isn't true, I'd love to know what the syntax for doing so is).
You'd access the (non-Solaris) x86 parititions like /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p1 or so. While Linux can address extended x86 partitions, Solaris can only address primary partitions.

Bar chart query - bar subdivisions.

Hi,
I have created a bar chart that is subdivided into two colour reb and blue representing the values yes and no. a count of these yes and no's are performed and displayed on the bar in their appropriate positions.
I am wondering how i could subdivide the bar once more by not only having a red and blue subdivision to represent yes and no, but have the red subdivision divided into 2 colours where one division represents 'big' and the other division represents 'small'.
the bar chart i chose to create initially is a stacked bar chart. (im assuming this is the correct one to continue using for this)
if i go to chart expert->data-> in the 'on change of' section , i have a formula which represent values on the x-axis and i have the field from the database which contains the values 'yes' and 'no'.
in the 'show values' section, I have the field from the database which contains a formula for the count of the 'yes's and 'no's.
the formula i ysed for this is:
if ({MyDB.yes/nofield} = 'YES') Then
1 else 0
can anyone help me with this problem (as i am in dire straits with this one)
thanks.
J

Hi James
If the group is on a database field, then you won't be able to manipulate the legend howver if it is a formula field then you can put the values that you want to see in the legend.
Or you can create a mock legend with text boxes and the desired values.
Hope this helps!!

I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.

Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
Please refer to the link below for the statement:

Refreshing the Data from a embed view in a view container

Hi everybody
I would like to know how can I do to refresh all data from a View with a view container the problem is:
that I have a window that has a view at the same time this has a view container. The Main view brings the data of editable elements when I select one element of the main view the view container brings a list for that element (dependencies) but only the first time a choose an element loads the correct data, when I choose another one it brings the same old data and doesn't make the call for the wdDoInit() method.
The question is:
How do I force the view to refresh all the data or call again the wdDoInit() method?
Thank you for your help

Aida,
Lets say you have two components C1 and C2 and you want method from C1 to be available in C2 then follow these steps:-
1) Goto the Interface Controller of C1 and create a method there lets say doSomething
2) Then goto C2. There you can see Used Web Dynpro Components --> Right click Add Used Component --> Give some name say C1Comp --> Click browse and select C1 --> Click Finish.
3) Next goto Component Controller of C2 --> Properties --> Click Add and check if C1 is added. If not then select the checkbox and select OK.
4) Now goto Implementation tab of C2 and lets say wdDoInit you can write following code:-
wdThis.wdGetC1CompInterface().doSomething();

Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

Hello
I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
Thanks in advance

This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following. I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library. You now have a "split library" where:
E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
Album Artwork (folder)
Previous iTunes Library (folder)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
iTunes Library.itl (file)
iTunes Library.xml (file)
I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
Before you change anything else, exit iTunes. Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder. You should now have this:
or something very similar. Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key. You will see this dialog:
Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above. Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK. iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them. You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations). As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
De-authorize your iTunes account.
Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.). Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes. As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair. I want to complain. Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive. I want to complain to someone in authority. How?

I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service. I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book. On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz. Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day. I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic. She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive. I took this to mean she was going to restore my work. But no! She erased the lot.
I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me. That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting.
Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the hard drive on this laptop is still faulty. I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work. This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it.
This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it. I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund), to ask him if he had been given mine as well. He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it." I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.

Sounds like a terrible mixup.
Good luck & happy computing!

Data Back Up Plan

Hi,
My internal hard drive, 320 GB, 'fully loaded', on my 2 year old imac crashed 10 days ago.
Since I had the extended warranty, the 'local' Apple store replaced the internal drive within hours
at no charge and even loaded Snow Leopard and iLife. With a well updated TimeMachine on an external hard drive I was back working at my imac the next day. When I realized after the crash that my precious 250 GB of pictures in Adobe Lightroom and iPhoto, along with a few videos were saved on just one older Maxtor external hard drive, it made me think about a more solid back up procedure.
The idea now is to move all big volume files to one or more external hard drives.
In the meantime I have transfered the iPhoto and Lightroom files to an external hard drive (WD MyBook II, 2x1 TB in RAID 1), which gives me the first layer of back up: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/552322-REG/WesternDigital_WDH2Q20000N_2TB_My_BookStudio.html
In a second step I am planning on making a clone (with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy) of the internal hard drive (mainly operating systems and applications) and the external hard drive (all big data files) on one additional external hard drive, i.e. OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro Raid 0, 2 TB http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8Q7T20GB64/
I am looking for advise here:
Do SuperDuper or CarbonCopy (I only know the names from the discussion forums) allow me to make a clone from 2 separate hard drives
Would it be good practice to create a large clone of ultimately 2 TB with ALL files or wouldn't it be better to make 2 clones , one of the internal and one of the external drive.
TimeMachine had helped me to get back to work quickly after the crash. I expect to fill the WD 1TB drive rather quickly. Where should I plan on using Time Machine in my new back up plan?
Would appreciate comments and advise.

No. A clone is of your boot volume only. But those apps can make separate backups of multiple drives, either to multiple drives or to separate partitions on the same drive.

2 is not only better, but your only option with CCC or SD.

There is no "right" answer, just a number of possibilities. Some thoughts:
You could use TIme Machine to back up both your internal HD and the WD set to the OWC, if it's at least twice the size of the data on both. It looks like it can be configured as a +Concatenated RAID set+ (both drives into a single 2 TB volume), so that should work well.
Or use TM to back up your OSX drive, and CCC or SD to back-up the media drive.
The CCC or SD backups usually aren't practical to run more than once a day, so consider them your "secondary" backups.
Also strongly consider getting something off-site (safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc.), so you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines. Portable external HDs are great for that. Some things may even be appropriate to take to DVDs.
The problem with that is, there aren't many portables over about 640 GB (LaCie has a 1 TB for either $300 or $400: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11357).
CCC is donationware, so you can use it free for a while. If you decide to keep it, send them some $$ so they can keep it up to date. SD has a free version, but to do updates (rather than a full replacement) or automatic scheduling, you need the paid version (about $30). Either is available via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.

How do I install all my old programs and data from an old system folder after I have reinstalled the same OSX system after a crash?

The system is OSX10.5.8 Leopard on a 2009 imac. A new system was installed from the installation disks and the original system saved to a folder.
I need to use my Adobe programs, rescue my email, i-tunes and iphoto data. The disk utility indicates that my Time Machine back-up disk is damaged and I don't want to take a risk of having Time Machine erase my hard drive and try to reinstall the exact system existing at the time of the crash. There was over 650 gb of stored files that I was copying and removing from the drive at the time it crashed. The total size of the original system file is still about 650 Gb.
I would prefer to go back in Time Machine and only rescue the programs as most of the files have been copied to external hard drives, but I can't access the back-up hard drive from the new version of the Time Machine. Or by I don't want the Time Mchine to start copying the new operating system which would include all the data in the old system file. Time Machine was working fine at the time of the crash.

No, the disk was backed up with time machine a few hours prior to the crash. I was unable to open the computer when I tried to restart it- got a grey screen with the spinning disk- after a few minutes the screen would go black and would reboot continuously, but not load any images or programs. I started the computer from the 10.5.4 installation disks and checked both the time machine external hard drive and the Imac internal drive with the disk utilities. Both showed as damaged --the internal drive and permissions were repaired, but the external drive (time machine back-up) was damaged and not repairable by disk utilities. I don't believe that the external drive for Time Machine was connected to the computer at the time of the crash as I was copying files to a different hard drive drive. And I was not having any problems with the TM back-up drive prior to the crash.
I accessed the Imac internal disk by firewire (as a target disk) and copied as many data files as I had room for on my external hard drives available. And I deleted quite a few files from the imac internal drive (mostly just jpegs, duplicate tifs, etc--nothing that was used by i-photos, i-tunes or the Mail program).
Then I installed a new OSX10.5.4 system from the installation disk and the old system was moved to a folder on the hard drive. I previousy had had the option to reinstall the complete system from Time Machine when I connected that drive and booted with the installation disks with the C key depressed. But it didn't seem like a good option because I was unsure of the condition of that external disk and whether it would be able to reinstall my data correctly, once it had erased my internal hard drive.
I'm considering buying some new external hard drives and backing up the present system to time Machine (so I'll still have my old data in the old system folder). And then I would try using the old Time Machine back-up to try to reinstall the sytem previous to the crash. That back-up would reinstall about 700gb of data and operating software and programs which sounds like a lengthy back-up. Since I have never used Time Machine to do a full reinstallation (I've only used it for individual files), I'm reluctant to do anything rash.
I'm a professional designer (with a deadline) but I can still use my Illustrator and Photoshop by opening them from the old system folder and saving the files to an external drive. So it's not neccessary to do anything hasty except to delete some of the excess art and document files that were causing the computer to run slowly and the Adobe programs to crash when I tried to save my work. I have quite a few books on tape in the i-tumes folder which is probably talking up tons of space but I don't where the i-tunes files live.
Thanks for any help. Peggy
