TM backup - How large would you set the partition for a 105gb HD?

I'm preparing to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and am making a TM backup to a 1TB external harddrive that has 500gb free, using Disk Utility to create a new partition.
The size of the hard drive to backup is 105gb with 22gb remaining. How much should I partition for TM? I was thinking 150gb - is that too generous?
I intend to keep the backup just in case I want to roll back to Snow Leopard in case anything catastrophic happens during the ML upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

Alternative: partition the disk with 110GB for the backup,
use DiskUtility to format this partition as MacOSextended(journalled) option: GuidPartitionTable;
download CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper and use that to make a real (bootable) clone onto this partition.
Test it by restarting while holding the Alt(option) key and choose the newly made clone to restart from.
Use this clone to restore when you want to go back.

How large should I make the partition for Windows XP?

I am mainly using it for light gaming, the partition means how much of the hard drive is used for windows and windows-based programs/games it can use, right? What does Windows alone need, and what would you suggest? I have about 100GB total disk space left on my macbook.

This will in part depend on the copy of Windows XP you are using to install. If it is the absolute latest copy you could get it should come with SP3 built in, which will reduce the amount of space necessary. If it is Windows XP SP2 or earlier, you will need significantly more space. I suggest 4.5 - 5 gb just for XP alone, especially in the latter case. After that, find the maximum space that your programs can use on installation, add it all up, and add at least 10% to that. Next, take your amount of physical RAM and add at least that much to your previous total (this accounts for the pagefile). That would be your bare minimum to allow for Windows XP. As long as you don't expect to store significant amounts of data via Windows, that amount can be all you need.

How to do you set the default for a radio radio button

I am having a problem setting a value in my code.
I would like to default a value for the radio button.
I think I need to use some java/javascript using the cattributes option but I
am not sure what I should be saying.
The example is provided below.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
htp.tableRowOpen;
htp.formRadio('in_prior_no','1',chkd);

As far as I know, iMovie version 10 is only accurate to .1 seconds or 3 frames.
I think you could only get down to 5 frames in version 9, though you could display frames s you mention.

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
REALLY??!!

...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music. Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo. Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes. They use rubato. They change tempo. They change time signatures. As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats. It's not a situation where you can say, "There! I've found the duration of one beat! Now it's easy to find the rest of them!"
If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out. You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible? It depends on how high your speakers are turned up. You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume. You might say, "Hey! The music ends before the layer ends!"... but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures. Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works. For true accuracy, you need find the timings yourself.
If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

How do you set the priority for active windows?

When I open a download file for an application from Safari, it opens behind the active window. How do I set the priority so that the download file window opens on top of the active window so I don't have to move a window to find it?

How are you opening it? From the "download" list?

How long did you have the micro for without headphones jack proble

Well i just wanna see the numbers. Perhaps the issue is inflated since people who do not have the problem stay silent and are out-voiced by the (understandably) angry mob of those who do. This would also give me an idea of how likely i am to have to go September without an mp3 player (Based on the three month product-life estimate)

I got my Zen Micro at the end of January.
First of all I am NOT suggesting that people haven't had valid problems with their ZM's but for what it's worth..................
I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack, however that may be because i take the headphone out of the socket after each use so it doesn't get bent etc. when put in a bag or pocket etc.
I use it a lot on planes trains and in the Gym.
Some people have said "really you take the headphone out after listening - oh thats such a big deal"
but it isn't - unless you're 2 years old and it's the only thing on your mind.

How / where do you set the print gridlines?

I have searched for the format link to print the horizontal and verical (column and row ) gridlines. The print preview shows the gridlines but the finished page omits them.

TC,
I wonder if you have a printer problem, or if the lines just need to be thicker or darker for them to print well on your system.
The default lines are thin and faint, very understated. It's a what you see is what you get system, but seeing on the monitor can seem different than what you get on paper when it comes to color.

How much would you pay for Elements 9?

Knowing all the issues/bugs with the latest release, how much would you willing to pay for Adobe Premiere Elements, version 9? In other words, what is the FAIR market value of this release?

I don't think it's worth $100...unless it came with your book in a bundle and some raw stock footage .
I recentlyy tried PowerDirector 8 ultra and the only thing that stopped me from buying a full version was the time I invested in learning Adobe software. If I was to start video editing today, I would probably go with PowerDirector. That thing was flying on my machine and had .mkv file support...fully optimized for Intel Core i7, NVIDIA CUDA, and ATI Stream technology!
After trying version 9, I felt that Elements 9 was left forgotten in the shadow of its big brother - Premiere CS5, which is fully optimized for 64 bit OS! The version 9 is stack in times...of 2008/2009 years, and definitely not 2010/2011!

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
there is no easy way to do this for a row.

hai,
Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
CellColorRenderer()
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
setBackground(Color.white);
setForeground(Color.black);
protected void setValue(Object value)
     setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
     if(isSelected == true)
          setForeground(Color.red);
     else
          setForeground(Color.black);
     setValue(value);
     return this;

How do you set the text of a Hyperlink component in code

I am using Visual Web pack in NB 6.0. How do you set the text of a hyperlink component in code?
Please see screenshots at
http://coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/agrawal/projects/java/
I have a hyperlink in a grid panel. I am using
hyperlink1.setText("Hello"); in prerender(),
but the Hyperlink shows up with the text "Hyperlink", whereas I was expecting "Hello". However,
hyperlink1.setUrl("http://www.usf.edu"); works as expected.
I tried nesting a static text in the hyperlink as suggested in the Creator guide (ed 2, Google project). I deleted the "Hyperlink" text in the properties editor but then the page turned out blank.
Thanks

How do you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
Bug ID# 10073038
Summary:
When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
Steps to Reproduce:
With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
This said.
(1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
(2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
Expected Results:
Every normally constituted user assume that in
case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
Actual Results:
In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
isn’t it ridiculous ?
Regression:
Except looking in QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
or
to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
Notes:
While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
(1) It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
(2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

beatngu13
I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
Thanks...

is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...
