Tips for using 3D camera to avoid maximum size issues?

Hi
I'm doing a project with lots of camera moves, and type flying past camera, but i'm getting constant 'the maximum size is 4096x4096' issues, even to the point where some projects freeze when i open them. What are good practices to avoid these issues when using entirely 3D scenes?
Thanks alot guys
aaron

Just to explain a bit more. Basically i'm not using any hires images, all i'm doing is moving text that is used as a particle very very close to the camera (effectively zooming right into the letterforms), and the text has a particle trail (over other text). Everytime i get close to the letterforms, i get the dreaded 'the image is too large' error message. Is there any way i can avoid this when trying to zoom in close to stuff?

Any tips for using the battery ? T500

Are there any tips to use the battery for a long time ?
I've seen the posts somewhere that "conditioning" is not needed for this battery, Li-on based ?
Is recharging when the battery is half-charged a bad habit ?
Thanks

Hello shong9,
First you should load your battery 36h, then unload it normally, till it will go to sleep or hibernate
(depends on setting in power manager).
Second load it 24, then unload it normally till it went to sleep or hibernate.
Third and last, load it 12h, then unload it normally till it went to sleep or hibernate.
Then you battery has got it´s full capacity and the powermanger will do all for you, to keep it healthy.
You should leave the battery in your machine, if using AC.
When you are working mobile, then charge it, when it´s necessary.
That´s it.

Tips for Using Pages to Write a Short Book?

Hello- I really don't wanna go back to Word.
My needs are pretty simple. A short book in 5.5 x 8.5 format (standard, right?).
Any tips to using (setting up) pages to write a book? Any ideas where to get good templates for this?
Thanks.

ePub requires HTML
Thoughts on that plan?
For paper-based exchange, Peter's point is that preparing the printing surface encounters problems in Apple's support for ISO 15930 PDF/X-3. Peter also wants support for spot colours which Apple development has resisted for as long as I can remember, and with good reason .
For paper-less exchange, Apple's implementation of PDF has the problem that it does not support search for glyph substitution, that is, it neither supports search for Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) nor does it support search for Microsoft OpenType Layout (OTL).
For paper-less exchange, furthermore, whether one is working in a document markup model (SGML implementations such as HTML, ePUB) or a document mastering model (PDL implementations such as PDF, XPS) the audience interacts with the authors input of character information in order to identify and download the digital document, and then image the digital document on a digital graphic device (display, printer). This means that the input of character information must be configured for assumptions compatible between author and audience. It is possible to do a long list of things in the Apple Character Palette that will cause the audience complications in searching for the digital document whether offline on a local computer or online in a distributed network of computers.

Encrypt function in 10g - RAW maximum size issue

Hello,
I m trying to encrypt some data using the ENCRYPT function provided by Oracle 10g.
It appears that the function uses only RAW type and RAW apparently has a maximum size of 2000 bytes.
And in my situation, the RAW data I would get after encrypting would be well above 2000 bytes. Can some one throw some light on how I can work around this situation.
I'd appreciate any help here.
Thanks

Should I convert the 9i database?You can, but not mandatory.
from WE8MSWIN1252 to UTF8?I strongly advise you to read the following metalink

Nicolas.Nicolas:
These links were very helpful!
I actually was not aware of the fact that CHAR and VARCHAR2 are, by default, defined in terms of bytes, not characters when declaring column size. It seems like all I have to do is alter my tables in the 10g environment to be NVARCHAR2 instead of VARCHAR2, and that will define the columns in characters, not bytes.

A Tip for using EJB 3.0 with WebLogic Ant Tasks

I started out writing this up as a problem, but then I found the answer so I'm, posting a tip instead.
When I tried to write an EJB [stateless] using EJB 3.0 in my legacy Weblogic ear project I started getting this error:
<pre>
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'test'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
</pre>
This is why: wlcompile will put the class files in the App-Inf/classes directory unless it finds an ejb-jar.xml file in the META-INF directory for the module it is working on. With EJB 3.0, I wasn't using an ejb-jar.xml file because it was unnecessary. Later, Appc runs and it complains <b>because there are no classes module directory, they went into the shared ear folder instead.</b>
Here's I how it working again: Use javac [not wlcompile] to compile the EJB 3.0 module and make sure that the class files go into the correct module directory. Then you can use wlappc to generate all the associated files for the EJB. I have sucessfully deployed an ear file that uses both EJB 2.x and EJB 3.0 with this approach.
I wish Weblogic's own ejb3.0 sample application used their split directory deployment.
Good Luck.
John Aronson

Hi John,
I am working on development an enterprise application using EJB 3.0 on Weblogic 10.
While developing, I am keeping all my classes (from ejb's as well as web) into APP-INF/classes directory. It is working fine for Web and ejb 2.0 packages, but ejb 3.0 packages, I get the following error when I keep my ejb 3.0 beans classes in APP-INF/classes directory.
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'customer'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
One solution is to keep the classes under customer ejb directory, but I wan tto keep all the classes in APP-INF/classes directory so that when using Eclipse IDE I can output all compiled sources into APP-INF/classes directory.
Has anyone faced this situation? Any suggestions to fix this issue?

How Do I reset my Nano?
Answere here...can't think on top of my head
Why wont my Nano turn on?
Reset
Of course it will be more detailed but you see my point?

Any tips for using a click track with a sample pad?

My band and I just purchased a Roland SPD-S and we are using it for some techno oriented samples in our songs. We are trying to run a click track with the samples track to our drummer's headphones so we can stay in time with the samples (as they are all on one timed track and are not constantly playing).
Does anyone know of a good way of doing this? Is there some way to match the tempo perfectly and trigger the metronome at the same time as the pad?
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

You should create a click track that aligns with the song's measures and adjust the tempo via the Master Track's automation curve!

Tips for Using Containment Relationships (When Are They Required?)

Hello again,
Our team was recently discussing when to use containment relationships, and we realized that there is room for improvement in our understanding. Having read many of the help topics, the primary use for containment relationships seems to be the ability to determine whether or not an entity is complete. However, as far as we can tell, in our work we have not yet encountered a need for the entity-completeness concept (if we have, it was unbeknownst). Instead, using a containment structure within a data model often seems to complicate matters by distancing entities from the Global (thus making it seem more challenging to reason across instances).
My best guess, aside from completeness, is that containment relationships are required when mapping from a database structure (e.g. Siebel). For example, a model such as:
Global
- the invoice
- - the invoice line item
...might interface more correctly with external data structures compared to a "flatter" structure such as:
Global
- the invoice
- the invoice line item
...where a "regular" (non-inferred, non-containment) relationship would be needed to connect invoices to their line items. In the latter scenario, perhaps the relationship would be more difficult to define when the data were mapped over?
I have a feeling we might be missing something obvious, but I'm curious to know what this community thinks about this question. Can anyone help, perhaps by providing a list of advantages / disadvantages to containment, or maybe the situations in which containment is always required?
Thanks!
- Patrick

I've built numerous demo rulebases for integration, usually with Siebel so I'll use that as my example. What I have learnt through doing this is that integration will be easier if the logical structure of the OPA entities/containment relationships matches the logical structure of the Siebel business components.
For example, if in Siebel you have something representing Global (which I'll call a Case for this example), and you also have several business components logically below Case, e.g.
A Case can have multiple Contacts
Each Contact can have multiple Incomes
Each Contact can have multiple Resources
Each Contact can have multiple Expenses
I would set up the following entities/containment relationships in OPA:
Global --> one-to-many --> the household member
the household member --> one-to-many --> the household member's income
the household member --> one-to-many --> the household member's resource
the household member --> one-to-many --> the household member's expense
Note that Contact (Siebel) = the household member (OPA). I could use "the contact" in OPA, but I prefer to use a more business-user friendly name such as "the household member" -- if they are indeed household members, it could also be the person, the taxpayer, etc. or whatever is appropriate for the source material.
I assume this general principle still applies if the integration is with something other than Siebel.
Cheers,
Jasmine

Tips for using clock in/out mass approval report in the portal.

Currently there is no standalone application for mass approval of the time corrections. There is no seperate workflow template for Clock-In/Out Corrections as well. So its suggested to copy the standard leave request template WS12300111 and use it for Clock-In/Out Corrections.
Usually the volume of the Clock-In/Out Corrections for approval are large. So the report RPTCORAPP is provided for mass approval of all the Clock-In/Out Corrections pending for the manager in the backend. This report can also be used in the portal in the following way. Before proceeding, I will take up an example :-
Let us assume that we are using a custom WF template 'WS99900013' for clock in/out corrections which is a copy of the standard LeaveRequest template WS12300111. The approval task is 'TS99900043' which used for approving the workitems.
Below are steps to configure the RPTCORAPP in the portal:-
1. Change the task 'TS99900043' to point to a DUMMY method. i.e. create a DUMMY method and make the task to point to the method.
2. Save and activate the workflow.
3. Create an i-view in the portal which calls the report RPTCORAPP directly.
4. In the UWL xml file change the attributes of the task 'TS99900043' to call the PCD of that iview directly.
5. Upload the modified UWL XML file and re-register the workitems to sync it with changes of the task 'TS99900043' in the backend.
6. Test the application.
Please note that the application is tested across all the scenario known to me. There might some scenario which are unknown to me, in which some issues may crop up. So I would suggest to to take a backup of the current WF template and UWL xml
file before implementing the above changes.

Hi,
Checked everything and it seems fine. Any other ideas where i should looking?

Tips for using an older Hard Drive with an enclosure

Hello,
I have a two-parter in regards to an external hard drive. I want to be able to use an older hard drive off one of my PCs for an external hard drive through an enclosure.
Question 1:
Before I purchase the enclosure I was wondering if any USB enclosure will work with the MacBook or if there are specifics I need to have on the enclosure in order for it to work.
Question 2:
The hard drive is from a used (3-4yr old) PC. The hard drive is fine but the old computer is dead (video card). Will I be able to pull off data from it once I get an enclosure? For example, my itunes reside on this hard drive can I export those to the macbook?
Anything else I need to know to make this work?
Thanks!!

How do I know what type of hard drive it is (ATA or SATA)? If I pop out the hard drive from the PC will it say on it someplace? (sad question I know).
There drive may say on it, but if not it should be identification or a model number on the drive you can look up. SATA drives usually also only have a very small connector for both data and power whereas ATA drives have a longer connector and a much wider data cable. You can see a drawing of the ATA connector on this web page:
http://en.kioskea.net/contents/pc/ide-ata.php3
So once I pull all the data off I am interested in - can I then somehow reformate the drive so that I can use it to read/write to from the macbook?
Yep. Use Disk Utility (it's in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder in Mac OS X) to erase the drive. If you'll only be using it with a Mac, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in the formatting option. If you want to be able to use the drive with both Windows and Mac systems, choose MS-DOS.

Tips for using FCE with an ADVC-300?

Some questions if I may:
- Any settings I may want to change?
- And, if I make alterations in Picture Controller 300, how does FCE now to use them? Do I run both at same time?
- If they want a DVD with TV-Quality what settings do I use for export? Just a QT movie in H.264 or anything else? Then, drop into iDVD to burn?
- if someone wants just a "computer-viewing" quality, suggested settings?
- if someone wants just YouTube - can I cheat and drop into iMovie (what export first)?
Working on capturing a VCR tape right now - and quality is more of an issue vs a DV tape.
Thx for your help - total newbie here to both but I'm not afraid to tinker to get the hang of it... would SO appreciate it!
Alexa

You should limit your post to a single question.
Regarding Picture Controller, it sets how the ADVC-300 works. You would not run it at the same time as FCE, nor does FCE 'know' how to use the settings. The settings affect how the ADVC performs its conversion & video cleanup during conversion of your analog video to digital. The basic settings you need for converting VHS tapes are:
-Convert to DV-NTSC (assuming you are in North America)
-Locked audio = on
-IRE = 7.5
Only connect or disconnect the FW cable between the ADVC and your Mac when both the ADVC and your Mac are turned off _and disconnected from all power_.
In FCE, select the *DV NTSC DV Converter* easy setup. Make sure the ADVC is toggled to analog-in and video/audio is being fed from your VCR. In FCE, use *Capture Now* to capture your video. And be aware that you will not hear the audio while capturing; this is normal.

Tip for using OneDrive on iPad with Dropbox

Hi all, just a tip...
With Office now on iPad, people are frustrated that they can't - yet - open Office docs in any cloud storage app/service but have to use OneDrive.
Well, here's what you can do: on your Mac, you can install the OneDrive folder anywhere you like. So if you already have Dropbox, just install the OneDrive folder inside Dropbox on your Mac!
Now, whenever you work on an Office doc on your iPad, it will save to OneDrive and since OneDrive is in Dropbox it will automatically be saved in Dropbox! And you can open the file again straight from Dropbox on your iPad or Mac. All syncs work perfectly - the file is saved simultaneously (apart from a bit of lag) both in OneDrive and in Dropbox.
I hope I've explained this clearly...apologies if not.
Cheers,
David

You're welcome. Works well, doesn't it?

Helpful tip for using Windows computers w/Airport Extreme

Not sure if this has been posted before but I would suggest that windows users or mixed use users (windows/mac) that want to use the airport extreme basestation should uninstall any security software (antivirus/firewall) that is on their windows computers before setting up the Airport Extreme Basestation.
I was having a lot of trouble getting my windows computers to see each other (or any other computers for that matter) despite them being able to connect to the internet and the fact that they were both on the same workgroup.
I figured out that by uninstalling the norton software and then replugging them into the basestation that miraculously I could then see the other computers on the network ("view computers in my workgroup"). Then reinstall the security software and you should be good to go.
Hope that helps someone and prevents hours of frustration.
Now that I have the Airport Extreme basestation running it is phenomenal. All computers (mac and windows) can see each other and share files.

There is another way to use the AE.. that might help your problem.
The first thing though is to use static IP .. even in bridge that might fix it.
You would need to use DHCP Reservation in the main router to set the IP of the Airport. This can be called different names in different devices but it is usually there.
Then in the computer using finder, Go, Connect to server. Type in the actual IP address of the Airport.
So
AFP://10.0.1.100 (for example, replace with the actual IP).
You will have a request for the disk password.. once the computer finds the network resource. Type in the password and store it in the keychain so it is not forgotten.
I do find it interesting that apple can acknowledge that networking is that poor.. and do nothing about it.
