Two Dilemmas

I just had my Nano replaced, so it's music library is no more. I have a new computer because the old one is too sick to use. How do I get my library to the new computer if I don't have any music on the Ipod and no library to draw from on the old computer?

If you have the old computer back and you can hook your iPod up to it, then you can transfer your library this way...

Can't duplicate movieclips as an array within an array

Hello.
I have an animation that loads an xml into it and traces back
an array within an array. I have tried to apply this to duplicated
movieclips thereby creating a structured set of links. What I am
trying to do is this:
Chicken Nuggets
__Compression
__Texture
__Disgust
Mega Warhead
__Taste
__Hardness
__Pain
This traces fine but I can't seem to get the duplicated
movieclips to assemble in this fashion.
The code for the XML is as follows:
var controlArray:Array;
var variable:Array;
var testTopic = new Array ();
var test = new Array ();
var controlsXML:XML = new XML();
controlsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
controlsXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if (success){
var mainnode:XMLNode = controlsXML.firstChild;
var controlNodes:Array =
controlsXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
var list:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i < controlNodes.length; i++) {
var personnode:XMLNode = controlNodes
.attributes.Name;
trace(personnode);
testTopic.push (new struct (personnode));
var specificNode:Array = controlNodes.childNodes;
for (var j:Number = 0; j < specificNode.length; j++){
var itemnode:XMLNode = specificNode[j].attributes.Variable;
trace(itemnode);
test.push (new struct2 (itemnode));
printer ();
printer2 ();
} else {
trace('error reading XML');
controlsXML.load ("controls3.xml");
The code for the movieclip duplication is as follows:
x = 50;
function printer ()
for (m = 0; m < testTopic.length; m++)
duplicateMovieClip ( slotTopic, "slotTopic" + m, m );
slotTopic = eval ( "slotTopic" + m );
slotTopic._y += x;
slotTopic.slotTopicContent.text = testTopic[m].personnode;
function printer2 ()
for (k = 0; k < test.length; k++)
duplicateMovieClip ( slot, "slot" + k, k );
slot = eval ( "slot" + k );
slot._y += x;
slot.slotContent.text = test[k].itemnode;
function struct (personnode)
this.personnode = personnode;
function struct2 (itemnode)
this.itemnode = itemnode;
On the stage are two movieclips, titled "slotTopic" and
"slot". Within those are dynamic text boxes titled respectively
"slotTopicContent" and "slotContent". When I preview this file it
only displays the text within the "slot" movieclip and it lists all
six of the subtopics with no break. So, there are two dilemmas:
1) The movieclips won't duplicate into the structured set of
links that I want.
2) "slotTopic" is not displaying text at all.
If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it.
Thx!

ok, I'm sorry but there are quite a few things wrong here.
first though, when posting code please use the 'attach code'
button.
1) i can't imagine that you have a XML structure as deep as
your calling to or the need for it with the limited amount of
infomation your pulling, in addition your storing the info in
attributes, so I can't see how this would work, it may 'trace' out
the right text (somehow) but it's not getting into the arrays
properly.
2) you do not assign an attribute value to a XMLNode, and
then try to push it into an array.
3) you do not call a method (struct or struct2) using the
'new' operator. this is how you envoke a new 'class' instance.
4) do not use 'x' as a variable name as it is a reserved var
in flash, assigned to an Object instance.
5) the duplicateMovieClip() method needs to be called upon
the existing clip as in:
slotTopic.duplicateMovieClip('slotTopic'+m, m);
additionally you can pass the _y placement within the
initObject.
6) you do not need to use eval, it isn't doing anything here,
you will gain the correct path by calling duplicateMovieClip
correctly.
7) the reason why slotTopic is not being displayed at all is
because of the second loop, you are duplicating the clips
(incorrectly) into the same depths thereby replacing all of the
contents of the slotTopic depths previously constructed.
the solution to this problem is to construct both items with
the same loop but increament one of the depth assignments by a
specific number, in other words at depths much higher or at least
different, than that of the first element, as in:
slotTopic.duplicateMovieClip('slotTopic'+m, m, {_y:50});
slot.duplicateMovieClip('slot'+(m+100), m+100, {_y:50});
again I'm sorry man, but it will take some work to sort this
out.

AirPort Express for iPhone Internet connection

I recently had cable installed in our shop for phone and Internet usage. We haven’t yet purchased a computer for the location, but I do have an AirPort Express that I purchased for use in my home (but have not set up at home yet). I also have an iPhone. Is there a way to use the AirPort Express with the cable Internet connection in our shop so that I can go online with my iPhone? (just FYI, I cannot connect with the internet at our shop with my iPhone over the AT&T network as there is no signal available in the area).
Thanks!

Well, I don’t seem to be getting too far with this set up at home. I’ve tried plugging my cable modem at home into the AX, then opened Airport Utility on my iMac, but all it says is “Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices”. I’ve tried unplugging and re-plugging in the AX to the electric power. Also tried the reset button on the AX.
I then tried turning on WiFi on my iPhone and the AX shows up as “Apple Network” followed by the AirPort ID number. I then plugged the ethernet plug from my cable modem back into the AX and I can connect with my iPhone via WiFi to my cable modem and go online. No set up at all, which is what I wanted to do in the first place, except when I tried this with the new modem in the shop, the iPhone “sees” and selects the AX, but there is no connection to the internet.
So now I’m stuck with two dilemmas. I can’t get my iMac at home to “see” the AX, and I can’t get the AX to connect to the Internet with the modem at the shop. ???
Oh, and the modem in the shop is a "Scientific Atlanta 2203" and is for both cable telephone connection and RR cable Internet connection.

My TV shows won't download. It keeps saying error 3050 and this computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I really don't want to spend eight dollars on two episodes again. What do I do to fix this dilemma?

A couple oe f days ago, I started downloading the BBC's version of Sherlock. I have the entire first season completely downloaded. The second season (and unaired pilot) is a different story. It was downloading, but my internet kept crashing so I couldn't finish the downloading process. I shut down iTunes for the night and thought to myself "I finish it in the morning." This morning, I attempted to finish the downloading process, but it would only let me download two of the four episodes. The other two just say "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID after 90 days." I used one account to download the TV shows and nothing else.
I'm really confused and really frustrated with this. Any suggestions/answers are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

This is a somewhat recent change, but frankly there is no reason to constantly be logging out of one Apple ID and logging in with a different Apple ID.
If multiple people with different Apple ID's are regularly using the same computer, either authorize the computer for each of the Apple IDs or created unique logins on the computer for each user and have each sign in with their appropriate Apple ID.

I need opinions. I currently on dilemma on buying iPod Touch 4 or Samsung Galaxy Tab. Comparing these two, which one is better? Why? Tq.

Well, I want to buy a new gadget for myself. But I currently don't know which one to choose yet. Both iPod Touch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab are great inventions! But i can't afford to buy both of them. So i'm asking all of you, any ideas or opinions on these two gadget? Which one is better and why? What do iPod 4 have that Samsung Tab don't have and vice versa. Thank you so much if you replying this.

I'm having the same issues you are having on my S3. I was on the phone with tech support (Verizon) last Friday for about an hour. I had to get a bit nasty with the tech when he attempted to blame Samsung for this (Samsung didn't release that update without Verizon's OK- and have you noticed Verizon has added their logo to the startup now?).
My data usage has gone up, battery draining much faster (and I have an extended battery!) and I had to re-load some of my widgets on the phone (including the My Verizon widget). The tech had me start the phone in Safe Mode (holding down the power, volume rocker and Home button at the same time until the Samsung logon screen shows then let go of the power button while continuing to hold the other two buttons until the phone logs on completely).
Whatever he did remotely seemed to make the phone act better yet he decided I need the update 'reflashed' to the phone. First he credited my account $30 to take care of any possible data overages. He then contacted my local Best Buy store to see if they could 'reflash' (upload the update again) the phone.
I went to Best Buy and had it done the next day. I think the phone was better before the 'reflash'! The tech gave me his personal Verizon cell number so I will be calling him back today.
An update for the update is coming yet the release date hasn't been confirmed. The tech said my account will be monitored for any overages in which I will received credits to cover it.
Good luck, Ginger- and I agree with you: if this doesn't get fixed I will move my business to T-Mobile!

I can't remember the answers to ANY of my security questions. And in order to reset them I apparently have to remember the answers to at least two, which doesn't really help me at all considering my dilemma. Anyone know what I should do??

Please help!! I can't remember any of the answers to my security questions (I made them approximately four years ago and don't know what I was thinking).
How can I change my questions without answering my security questions that I don't know?!??

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do I separate the content of two iTunes accounts on one PC running Windows 7?

Hello. I have a dilemma that has been going on for years and am hopeful that someone can outdo the staff at the Apple Store Genius Bar who, after trying multiple times, could not solve this problem. This is a doozie, so get comfortable...
My wife and I have two separate iTunes accounts. For clarity, this is two separate iTunes store accounts, where we each can log in with a separate e-mail address and password. Years ago, she had her own laptop from which she accessed iTunes and synced her iPhone without any issues. I used another laptop to sync my iPhone, and all was well until the hard drive on my wife's laptop crashed.
After that, my wife logged into iTunes on my laptop and connected her iPhone to my laptop to sync up, but we found that all of the apps and data on her iPhone synced to my iTunes account. When I connected my iPhone to the laptop to sync up, all of the content of her iPhone synced to my iPhone. Also, when she connected to the laptop and synced her iPhone, all of my content synced to her phone. So, she stopped connecting her iPhone to the laptop because we were not able to find a way to separate my content from her content when we sync our phones.
To make it more complicated, any app that we both run on our iPhone (e.g. Facebook, Yelp, etc.) is somehow "registered" under my account on her iPhone. So, if any apps that we both use have an updated version, she is prompted to first enter her iTunes password to authorize the download for apps that only she runs, and then for my password to authorize apps that we both run. In other words, her iPhone is somehow permanently linked to my iTunes account.
Now, to make this even more interesting, let me add another level of despair. When iOS 5 was released in 2011, we tried to update her iPhone by installing the new OS but the OS crashed during the install. All of the apps that she had installed on her phone, including new contacts, were lost because she had not synced to the laptop for some time. When the iPhone was restored and iOS5 was installed at the Apple Store, we learned that all contacts and pictures stored there were lost. Fortunately the apps that she purchased were saved because they were still stored on her iTunes account, but still are only accessible through my iTunes account on the laptop since all of the content is merged, as mentioned above. Also, when we restored them, she got all apps (mine and hers) so she had to manually delete mine which took a lot of time. So, consequently she is still running iOS 5 because we don't want to deal with the hassle of losing any data or having to manually delete my apps from her iPhone.
So, I am extremely hopeful that someone can demonstrate some intellectual "heavy lifting" and can help us to answer the following questions:
1) How can we set up iTunes so that our content is separated rather than stored completely on my iTunes account?
2) How can we modify the settings in iTunes and/or iPhone so that we will only access our own content upon connecting to the laptop? (Note: I realize that iCloud makes it unnecessary to sync via USB but occasionally use the computer to charge my iPhone and it syncs automatically)
3) How can we modify the settings on her iPhone so that it does not recognize mutual apps as "my" apps and prompt her to enter my iTunes password to update them when a new release is available?
4) If she were to install the current version of iOS, how can we ensure that her data will not be lost if the software crashes again?
Whoever can figure this out gets to brag about being the coolest person in the world, at least in my book. Thanks in advance.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

I have two .mac addresses; how does this work in iCloud?

This is not about consolidating Apple ID's... I think.
When I got my first .mac address, I thought I picked a good one at the time. Later on, due to the peculiar spelling, I opted for an additonal (paid) address which I use every day. Now the first one (which is an Apple ID) contains my calendars, contacts, etc. I never use the email portion of it, again because of challenging spelling. The second .mac address (also an Apple ID) is an email only account. This is the email account I use daily.
When I make the transition to iCloud, I intend to keep my original AppleID (from the pre-.mac days) as my iTunes store ID.
My question is, what happens with my two other accounts?
.mac #1 with the contacts and such would move to iCloud and sync everything there as it currently does with MobileMe. Since .mac #2 is an email only account, would I even need to bother moving it to iCloud (if that's even possible), or would I just keep using that as email only using the current mail settings on my iThingys and Mac? Does anyone know if .mac #2 will live on after MobileMe vanishes, or will I loose my daily and coveted .mac email at that time?
I'm sure Apple has a good reason for not allowing us to just consolidate everything in one place, but I know there are many out there with a similar situation to mine.
I've spent a good deal of time tonight searching the various threads and can't seem to find an answer to the two .mac email dilemma. My appologies if it's already been discussed.
To sum up, I have one Apple ID that I use for iTunes and intend to keep as such. I have two .mac addresses which are also Apple ID's; one that syncs with MobileMe and one that is email only. I would like to use iCloud to sync what is currently on MobileMe, AND continue to use the simpler email address that I've been using for years.
Am I screwed??
Thanks in advance for your help, and Happy Holidays to all!!

Migrate the account which contains your calendars, contacts etc. first, at http://me.com/move and set it up on your Mac and devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Now migrate the email-only account in the same way. On a Mac you can add it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - it won't sync anything but will be added to the accounts in Mail where you can then use the email in the normal way.
I don't know what the equivalent process on an iOS device is; very likely you need to add it as an account in the Mail app.

How to Set up Family Plan when you have two Apple IDs?

I stopped short of setting up Family plan because my wife and I have two Apple IDs each: One for iTunes ad one for iCloud. This was caused by migrating from long ago Apple "cloud" services.
The set up seems to assume you have a single ID for each person and there are no instructions to set it up using hyour current iTunesa and iCloud IDs.
Has anyone successfully set up Family Plan while they have two sets of Apple IDs?

finally I found someone else with my dilemma.
I have my iTunes/AppStore ID with all my purchases and my iCloud ID with everything else.
this is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
thank you.

One site, two separate directories/roots?

I tried posting this via the newsgroup yesterday, but it
never showed up on this forum (I know why now after reading a
little closer). I've been thrown into the role of my department's
site/server admin at the last freakin' minute, and I'm hoping you
guys can help me out with a particular situation.
Here's the short version:
Is there a way for me to set up Dreamweaver to manage one
site over two completely separate folders (or perhaps set up as
separate 'sites'), and have it update links automatically between
both sites/folders as files are moved/changed just as it would with
one site? Virtual directories or similar server side items are not
an option.
Here the long version:
We have an in-house server that we've used for several years
to host both our website and shared directories for various files
used by our techs and managers. The web server is a mess because
over the years we've had several versions of our website built on
top of each other... an ugly mess which I have the pleasure of
cleaning up (oh joy!). We use IIS on the server (Win2K) to host the
site, and we have a virtual directory set up. We did this in order
to allow certain files to be viewable on our website, but actually
hosted outside of the site's root structure... so our managers
could update those files without us having to give them access to
make changes within the site's main file structure.
At the same time they hand me these new duties, I'm told that
our server is going bye-bye (lease is up) and instead of re-upping
the bosses want the site moved to the company's shared hosting. So
I have to have our site and share folders moved ASAP. This is
actually a very smart move, but it creates a bit of a dilemma for
me. We are only being allowed 100MB for our site, and we have a TON
of job-aids that far exceed the space that we're being given. We
are also using shared drive space (separate server) to host the
rest of our center's files, so I can move the bulk of those files
to the shared drivespace and create new links to them from our
site. Those that need to see/edit those items will have
permissions, the rest are out of luck, as it should be.
What makes this tedious is having to comb through and edit
each page to repair links to the content being moved to the non-web
space, not just during this cleanup but as future changes are made.
If there is a way that I could get Dreamweaver to recognize a
second 'root' so that as it would update links as I moved things
around and cleaned things up, that would be a HUGE help.
Any ideas?

Bump... anyone have any suggestions?

VOF dilemma - will stripping EXE's etc. hurt VOF?

Dilemma - since VOF (Virus Outbreak Filters) are the last step in the message pipeline, do you hurt VOF performance by stripping attachments with filters? Specifically for attachment types you never would allow in anyway (EXE, COM, etc)?
Scenario One
Message or Content filter removes EXE
Outbreak occurs, VOF rule set to trigger on specific size EXE
Since a filter removed EXE, VOF has nothing look for, and you get pounded with thousands of "remnants" - virus messages without attachment. No virus attachment therefore no client damage, but helpdesk buried with support calls/complaints about suspicious but harmless messages.
Scenario Two
No filter to remove EXE
Outbreak occurs, VOF kicks in and stops most messages.
But before VOF kicks in, 15 messages with EXE's get through and infect clients. You are at greater risk since you didn't stop EXE's in the first place with a filter.
Are these scenarios correct? Any best practice suggestions?

Add a content filter to strip the exes.
This way, you can check for viruses and only take action if the message remains - it won't get to vof. Not a perfect solution but might be more of what you are looking for.
Where I work there are a whole batch of file extensions that are not allowed. We don't strip them in message filters since if they are a virus then the virus checker wouldn't find them. We have a content filter that looks for dictionary match in the X-IronPort-AV header for a dictionary of mass mailers that we know of and drop the message. If it gets past that content filter and still has a prohibited attachment, we drop the attachment.
NOTE: if you are doing it with scenario 1 and don't have some spare capacity then I wouldn't recommend letting them go to brightmail/ipas, and virus scanning.
You can configure in the cli with policyconfig->filters or in the gui under mail policies - incoming content filters. After adding the filters in the guii, you need to goto incoming mail policies to enable it for the for the default policy.
Filter Name: Drop_Mass_Mailers
Conditions:
header-dictionary-match("MassMailers","X-IronPort-AV")
Actions:
drop()
Description:
Drop mass mailers from the system
Filter Name: Drop_Prohibited_Attachments
Conditions (All of the following must match):
attachment-filename ==
"(?i)\\.(com|exe)$"
Actions:
drop-attachments-by-name("(?i)\\.(com|exe)$", "Attachment not allowed")
strip-header("Subject")
insert-header("Subject", "[Content Warning - Attachments Removed] $Subject")

Two step import, downsizing image file sizes and/or keeping copies?

hi all,
leonie was kind enough on another thread to suggest a two step import from the iphone in order to make sure that there is no accidental deletion or data loss. my understanding (i'm repeating it here myself in case i am misunderstanding) is that this routine involves 1. importing images into Aperture via the conventional import method and then 2. backing up to iTunes (to save the images) and 3. verifying (visually i think) that the images are in the Aperture database and then if so allow Aperture to delete all the images from the iPhone.
this seems to make sense to me but i realized i had a couple of questions about general "photo hygiene" related to this kind of thing.
1. is there some way to downsize file size after images are imported into Aperture? i take a ton of photos and only some are important to keep at a high resolution and i feel like i am stuck between having a huge Aperture database cluttered with lots of photos at high resolution /or/ turning down the file size and finding that i have an important image that is at a low resolution because i forgot to turn up the file size (i think these are in settings somewhere in my phone) before i took the photo or only realized later that it was important to have this image at higher resolution. if i could downsize while thinking about it in Aperture this seems like it would work.
2. does anyone keep an external copy of their images outside of the Aperture database?
thanks

hi terence,
thank you.
so can i ask if anyone is using an iphone and/or what setting(s) and/or resolution folks are using?
i guess i have a bit of a dilemma in that i take a ton of photos and i only use one at a high resolution while the others can be something as insignificant as a visual note to myself. and it kind of kills me that these could be 1.2 MB in that i have a lot of them. i sort of wish there was a way to downsample imagery since a lot of these are not so important.
anyway. yeah i guess i was wondering if folks do a referenced library or keep an extra copy as a backup (i guess i am 'embedding' images in the library but i forget what i call this in aperture) - and i have started to wonder if there is some utility to doing a referenced library or keeping a backup but this seems like overkill while at the same time a referenced library would allow me the ability to downsample images from what i can tell but i am just guessing here since i haven't tried this method.
thanks.

How do I run two sub-VIs in parallel and have the faster VI continue to execute while the slower one completes?

I have two sub-VI's - one that makes a laser distance measuring device turn on and return a distance, and another that moves a platform upon which a target is mounted that the laser reflects against. The laser VI takes well under 5 seconds to complet. The platform-moving VI, on the other hand, requires about 30 second. I would like to be able to have the laser on AS the platform moves. Of course, I can accomplish this by running the VIs seperately. However, I would like to control them from a master VI. Currently, the laser turns on as the platform begins to move but then turns off, since the master VI waits on the platform-moving VI to
complete. Any help with this seemingly simple dilemma would be greatly appreciated.

In order to synchronize the two VI's I would recommend using a global variable. By creating a global boolean, you can make reference to it in both programs, and control when your "laser" subVI terminates.
Basically, have your "laser" subVI wait until the global boolean goes true to stop execution. Have the boolean initialized false, and then have your "platform" subVI write a true to the global boolean when it has finished running. This will keep you laser running until the platform has completed its move. Good luck!

Dilemma?? GTX 570, 580 or Quadro 4000

hey guys apologies if im in the wrong place for this, its my first ever post online! I have a slight dilemma, I have just recently ordered a new setup, however im confused as to which graphics card to go for. I will mainly use the system for HD Video editing (Sony HVR Z7) using premiere Pro CS5 and after effects. From what i have read the GTX range is more than capable of accelerating certain effects in premiere pro, but will the quadro be better?
My other main use of the pc is that I would like to hook it up to my Sim 2 Lumis host projector, via HDMI or DVI, now, since the Quadro has 10 bit video would this in any way re produce a much better image quality than the GTX range? Or is this only limited to the display port? Is the 10bit video sent through all ports even HDMI/DVI? I know that my projector has 10bit Video Processing. I would really appreciate some guidance on this, as im wanting to place an order for the card asap.
(Money is not an issue with regards to those cards)
Many Thanks guys.

BTW incase you need a reference this is from Nvidia.com

Incase you need reference for what Deep Color is in the HDMI standard BTW:

HDMI 1.3:
Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds.
Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 8-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail.
Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 adds support for “x.v.Color™” (which is the consumer name describing the IEC 61966-2-4 xvYCC color standard), which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye.
New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option.
Lip Sync: Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.
New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS®), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
