The best way to manage vi locations and dependencies?

Hi,
when i am updating my own vi version by creating a new folder with my files, somehow labview isn't so smart to link the subvi's and dll's that are also moved with the main programs. now i am using project manager and the situation is even worse. i am wondering if there is a best way of managing file dependency tree, for example, relative paths?
also, it seems that labview treat llb files as folders, so packing (sub)vis that are refering each other in one llb doesn't solve the problem, ie the vi in the new copy of llb file will still refer to the old file even the new version is right next to it in the same llb file.
if i archive the old files, labview becomes confused and fails to locate the new files.
as my project grows bigger, i will have to spend lot of time relinking subvis. really need to solve this problem.....

I don't see how you get this.
But some pointers:
Make sure all VIs are under one folder.
Make sure all other versions of the files are not searchable (remove a backup-folder from your LabVIEW search paths)
Create a LVproject.
Add the main VI to the project.
Open the main VI from the project
If you get warnings, go over them one by one and select the VI you want to keep.
Switch over to files view (available in 8.5 ctrl-e) and see if the VIs are in the expected locations, if not, open them (from the project), File-> save as (update callers)
This will get your project cleaned up.
From now on you only use the project window.
To make a backup-file, create a source-distribution, where you will rename each file (a feature available in 8.5)
If you don't rename the files make sure you always close the project and any of it's files before opening a VI from the backup folder.

As long as it is pointed to iTunes it will be accessible via home sharing on Apple TV.

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.

What is the best way to manage tasks? I have moved from outlook and only have mail and ical

What is the best way to manage tasks. I have moved from a pc with outlook and have lost 'tasks' in that programme. Do I have to rely on ical or can I download an app to manage business tasks?

iCal does have reminders but its implementation of tasks is pretty wimpy. There are a number of programs that are better geared to the job. I was a level 4 procrastinator until I discovered Getting Things Done and for me Things is perfect. It lets me handle projects which are dependent upon multiple tasks in a no-nonsense easy fashion. Much less expensive and really not much more than a list maker is Wunderlist. Thankfully there's a ton of shareware offerings - check out MacUpdate.com and see what works for you.

What is the best way to manage photos - Dropbox (with sync), Facebook (with sync), iPhoto, etc.?

With so many cloud based and wireless syncing services, I'm lost as to the simplest way to keep photos sync'd as well as backed up. My dropbox is currently syncing all photos I take with my iphone, but in an overall folder called CAMERA UPLOADS, so they are uncategorized. I upload pics to facebook, which facebook also has a sync photos feature, but I don't necessarily want all photos uploaded to facebook. What has worked best for everyone so that there aren't a ton of dupicate photos everywhere, and multiple syncs of the same photos?
Also, what is the best way to manage my iPhone photos generally? I'm never sure if I delete a photo from my phone, does it delete it on my computer via iCloud? Sometimes I just take a picture to send to a friend that I don't need to keep, while others are ones I want to sync to my computer. Can I control when deleting that it be deleted everywhere or just on the device? And alternately, can I choose certain photos not to sync via iCloud?
iCloud makes me nervous. Once when I wanted to place all photos of my pup into a folder, I selected the photos on my iPhone and accidentally clicked delete instead of move. No big deal, I figured they'd be at home sync'd on the cloud. But since I'd deleted them on my phone, the cloud deleted them on my home computer too and the photos were lost.

Best way to manage multiple users and multiple devices?

I would like some advice on the best way to manage iTunes and devices synced to it for multiple users -- Here's the scenario: I have 2 grade-school aged kids, who each have an iPod Nano and are going to get my old iPhone 3G to use as an iTouch after I upgrade my phone to the iPhone 4. In addition to my iPhone, I have a MacBook, a 30GB iPod, and a iMac. We are also looking into buying an iPad that we'll want to use (among other things) to watch movies while traveling. All music/apps/movies are currently located in my iTunes account on the iMac, and we sync via my personal @mac.com account.
I don't want to simply set up separate iTunes accounts for each kid, as I'd like to be able to control what music & apps they buy/download, and I've already got a fair amount of "their" music/apps/movies in my account, and don't want to have to try and move it from my account to theirs. Any advice on how to best set up an iTunes sharing arrangement that allows me to control their accounts, and sync all of the above devices would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What is the best way to manage photo's with multiple login accounts?

There are three people in my household and each has their own login into the computer. I also have and external drive. Space is becoming short on the computer, so I want to move all my photos and music to the external drive. I have moved all the music files and folders to the external drive and then each user has just updated their individual iTunes folders, pointing to the external drive.
However, what is the best way to manage photo's? Do I do this same process or is there another way? I don't want any music or photo files on the computer's hard drive at all if it can be avoided.

What is the best way to back up iPhoto and create disc space

what is the best way to back up iPhoto and then remove the iphoto folder from the mac book and onto the external apple time capsule

Two different questions
the best qway to backup is to use TimeMachine or other automatic backjup program
However this does not allow you to reduce space since a backup need to be a copy of your existing library and as soond as you changge the library you no longer have a backup and sooner or later the photos will be gone form the bakcujp too
You need to run the iPhoto library on an external drive or had a complete library on and external drive and a smaller library on yoru internal drive using iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move photos between the two libraries
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

How is the best way to manage the stats table?

Hello!
I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
STATS is growing pretty fast.
How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
records from this table.
For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
I hope somebody can help me!!!!
Thank you!

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I'd like to keep some of my favorite pictures on the laptop while moving the rest to an external hard drive. Is there a way to tag just a few pictures inside an event/album as "favorite", while storing the rest in an EHD, but still keep them connected to the same event/album? I'd like to have just the favorite pictures on the laptop, but when I have the EHD connected, be able to view all my pictures in the same place, and not have to browse through separate hard drives. Ideally, whether or not a picture is designated as "favorite" will determine where it resides.
Is this at all possible?
I have only 7 GB left on my HD and I'm desperately needing a solution!
Thanks!

You need two libraries to do this. One on the external with all your Photos. One on the internal with a subset - your favourites. You do it this way to make backing up easier - that is, back up the library with everything, so you're only backing up one.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events/albums/photos you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Best way to manage IE 10 and IE 9 on same LAN

Hi,
What is the best way to manage a network that has a mix of IE9 and IE10 browsers? Single GPO? GPO + registry? Separate ILT GPO's? Not recommended?
Thank you.

Hi,
For my understanding, many ways can be used to manage a IE environment, like using Administrative Template, GPP, IEM or IEAK, depends on yourself, but pay attention to that IEM will no longer work on computers where Internet Explorer 10 or newer is installed,
so it is a difference between IE 9 and 10. And GPP and IEAK use asynchronous processes when they run, so it is recommended to use only one for each group, you can see detailed information in the folloowing links.

What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

Hi Everyone
i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
Cheers
Liv

If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.

What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

The best way to manage multiple iPhones

Hi,
We currently own three iPhones, my wife’s, my daughter’s and mine and we are all using basically the same apple ID which is good for purchased apps since I have to buy it once and they automatically show on all devices, the issue is with free and personal apps, all of my daughter’s games end up in the other two phones which is annoying.
What would be the best way to manage all three iPhones butstill be able to share purchased apps without adding unwanted apps?
Do I need to create three different accounts?
What would you guys recommend?
Thanks a lot!

We have now 5 devices, two adults and 3 kids, including a new work iPhone. To manually select apps from scratch per device/per sync is really tedious.
Can't one save the "last checked" selections per device, so when Device B is connected the profile pulls up Device B's selections, and I could then evaluate if there are any minimal modifications to be made?
On the same note, are each device's personal phone items (settings, speed dials, etc) automatically saved separately per device?

What is the best way to manage tabIndex

Hallo. I am trying to understand what is the best way to manage the taborder inside flex. If, in my application there are several account and thus several states (1 for each account) i can prepare my states so that some components are visible and some not.. The problem is that, for each state the taborder can change even if the objects are the same.. What is the best way to manage tabIndex relatively to the different states in which the objects are?
Thx
Max

I liked tab order very much (top to bottom, left to right) ..but because of the problem i had and you answered here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/971994?tstart=0
I cannot use tab order because, in that group that focus goes from object n to 1 and the only way to solve the issue is to set tabIndex manually.. Is there another way??.. It seems like tabIndex setted manually has precedence on native taborder so i think i have to manage all the state with manual tabIndex isnt'it??.. Or maybe ia have another way?
Thx for the answer
