Using Automator or Applescript to switch between 32 and 64-bit modes

I'd like to use applescript or automator to create something that would switch logic in and out of 64-bit mode (yes, I'm lazy). I've been fooling around with automator to no avail...anyone have any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

As a Launchbar devotee, it's pretty easy for me - to run Logic I hit command-space (to activate Launchbar) then "l" (lower case L) to select Logic and return to run it.
If I wanted to change mode I do command-space (activate Launchbar) l (to select Logic) then command-I to do a get info, untick the box and go.
None of this tedious open finder windows and locate the application bundle etc... I do a huge amount via Launchbar, it's about the quickest most efficient way of doing many things.
Not sure about Applescripts, my guess is it would be quite clunky and slower than the way I do it...

Switching between 64 and 32 bit modes?

Are there any known issues with rebooting from 64 bit to 32 bit mode in 10.6.4 Server? Has anyone noticed broken services as a result of changing this?

The iSCSI initiator for Drobo products is very buggy under 64bit. Switching to the 32bit mode has drastically improved the speed.

Automatically switching between Visualization and Music Video modes

While playing back a mixture of both music (mp3s) and music videos is it possible to automatically have the video output switch between the visualizer for mp3s and the music videos themselves?
Any help would be appreciated.
Eric.

I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
@Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
Update:
With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

Two Second Skip Switching Between Windowed and Full Screen Modes During Playback YouTube videos

I am finding that every video I watch skips two seconds every time I switch back and forth from Full Screen mode. Happens mostly with 720p videos in YouTube.
Can be replicated by pausing the video (also possible during playback, pausing it was just to determine how long the skip is), switching to Full Screen and back, noticing the two second change on the timer.
Main operating environment is Opera browser on Windows 7 (x86), Flash ver. 11.1.102.55 and 12beta. I have also been able to replicate the problem on Internet Explorer ver. 9.0.8112.16421

Use of iPhone 5s keypad switching between numbers and alphabets

Hi! I am using iPhone 5s. Whenever I speak on Interactive Voice Reponse (IVR) system , I am having a difficulty
to press alphabets in the Phone Keypad. For e.g. If I have to check flight status, the call centre asks me
to enter flight number which is alpha-numeric, like 6E 286. In the phone keypad the alphabets are
visible just below the number key--like under number "2" , alphabets "A B C" are visible; but I don't know
how to enter alphabets in between the numbers using the number in the keypad.
Can anyone guide me please?
Thanks in advance
J.SRIDHARAN

A= 1 tap on the 2 key
B= 2 taps on the 2 key
C = 3 taps on the 3 key.
However, many IVR systes are smart enough to figure out what you mean even with one tap. It all depends.

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

Using automator or applescript in Preview

Hi All,
I'd like to create a services menu item in Preview which does either of two things:
Open the file I'm currently viewing in Canon DPP raw processing software
OR
Check for a folder called "Keepers" in the same directory as the file I'm currently viewing. If it does not exist, create it, and then save a copy of the file into this folder.
However, I can't seem to find a way to create a services menu item in Preview - can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

AFAIK, you can't create a service in Leopard using Automator or AppleScript. Check the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies. See http://www.reynoldsftw.com/2009/08/automator-and-finder-interactions-in-os-x-10- 6/ for more on this.

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- Eric

Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

Can't switch between fill and outline.

Here's the problem: I'm on an iMac, new, trying to use illustrator CS5. after using CS3 for a few years. In CS5, if I draw a shape, flat, in the illustration, then try to give it an outline, or change the outline, or do anything with the outline, I can't. If I click on the Shape tools in the toolbox and draw out an oval, for example, I can switch between outline and fill without any problems. Select shape, go to toolbox, select curved arrow for switching from one to the other. That's it. But if I draw a freehand shape, then try it, i can't do it. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APP. GET IT? What is the problem? If it's something I have done, fine, tell me and I'll fix it. I tried calling Adobe support in Bangalore, and it took 30 minutes just to get the problem thoroughly appreciated by the techies. They just couldn't get the idea for half an hour! I had to go over it 4 or 5 times. And they couldn't come up with an answer. they were no help at all. I'm hoping the forum will yield better results. This is pathetic, guys. Your 90-day tech support is a worthless piece of crap, guys. The only tech support we have is this catch-as-catch-can forum. I've been using Illustrator since 1987, (illustrator 88) believe it or not, it's true. And I've always been able to get tech support to cure the ills. Not any more. Is that the way Adobe plans to offer tech support? if there were a way to contact Adobe Tech Support by going around Adobe Bangalore, i would use it. But, alas, I am stuck with this.

Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh to get back to a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information. So how do I control gradient mesh?

JSF / Switch between HTTP and HTTPS

Hello!
I want to switch between HTTP and HTTPS using JSF.
Under Apache Struts framework I can use struts extension "sslext.jar" to configure switching between http and https in one web application.
e.g. Login-jsp should be secured, all other jsp's should run unsecured.
Any ideas?
regards
Harald.

Thanks,
I made the necessary enhancement for the second phase, password confirmation required when return to SSL zone after leaving it after a succesful login.
I did the following:
1) create a class in the application scope and/or singleton class with the servlet paths that require SSL
2) create a plugin that reads ActionConfigs from the ModuleConfig
3) create a filter that sets a request scope flag that says that password must re-entered.
Code Extracts:
1) MainshopContainer application level parameter singleton class:
private static HashMap sslZoneMap = new HashMap(50); // key = servlet path of request, example /login.do
public boolean isInSSLZone(String servletPath)
return this.sslZoneMap.containsKey(servletPath);
public void addToSSLZone(String servletPath)
this.sslZoneMap.put(servletPath,null);
public int getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone()
return this.sslZoneMap.size();
2) Struts plugin
add a call to loadSSLZoneMap in plugin init method:
loadSSLZoneMap(config, mainshopContainer);
private void loadSSLZoneMap(ModuleConfig config, MainshopContainer mainshopContainer)
throws ServletException
try {
ActionConfig[] actionConfigs = config.findActionConfigs();
for (int i = 0; i < actionConfigs.length; i++)
if (actionConfigs.getParameter().indexOf("/jsp/account/") < 0) // /account/* = URL path for SSL zone
// not found = not ssl zone
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following actionConfigs excluded from SSL Zone: "+actionConfigs[i].getPath());
else
// found = ssl zone
String servletPath = actionConfigs[i].getPath()+".do";
mainshopContainer.addToSSLZone(servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following servletPath added to SSL Zone: "+servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, number of actions in SSL Zone: "+mainshopContainer.getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone());
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
throw new ServletException("Exception caught in loadSSLZoneMap: "+ex.toString()+" Initialization aborted.",ex);
3)
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
String servletPath = req.getServletPath();
boolean secure= this.mainshopContainer.isInSSLZone(servletPath);
The wole picture:
The filter adds a RequestDTO object that includes all request parameters, one of them is the secure flag.
I have a session scope class UserContainer that includes all the session parameters, one of them is the lastRequestDTO.(last made request)
At the end of all my jsp's I set the lastRequestDTO variable.
In that method I set the passwordConfirmationRequired flag if needed:
public void setLastRequestDTO(RequestDTO _lastRequestDTO)
if (this.lastRequestDTO != null && this.lastRequestDTO.isSecure() != _lastRequestDTO.isSecure())
this.setPasswordConfirmationRequired(true);
this.lastRequestDTO = _lastRequestDTO;
I read the passwordConfirmationRequired in all my jsp's in the SSL zone that allow editing or deleting and if that flag is true, a valid password must be re-entered in order to make the updates.
When the password is OK I reset the passwordConfirmationRequired to false.
I need some help for the first phase, that is SSL setup for all actions related to jsp's with url path /account/*
I tought I could define it in the web.xml:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>All Account Related Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/account/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
but that doesn't work and finnaly understood why:
Example: /WEB-INF/jsp/account/login.jsp corresponds to /login.do
The url pattern /account/* at the container level is never encountered.
Is it allowed to declare the following action path: /account/login instead of /login?
If yes I could add following prefix /account to all my action paths and forward paths and this could resolve my problem.
What's your opinion?
If no, would your library resolve this?
Will all the Struts/JSP/JSTL url generating tags pick-up the required protocol (http/https) according to your configuration file?
Regards
Fred

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers
Brett

Unable to switch between 3g and 4g on my Lucid

After an update a week or so ago, my LG Lucid has completely lost the functionality of switching between 3g and 4g. As 4g is a battery hog I kept it mostly on 3g (but not always) and since the update , I am stuck on 3g. Took it to the Verizon store for a techie to look at it and he was stumped. I used to access thru "settings" - "about phone" - "network" - "network type and strength" , which brought me to some toggles where I could choose the network best suited to what I was doing. Now this screen is gone completely and only shows signal strength. The techie suggested a factory data reset, which would not only erase all my items from my phone, but if it did provide 4g service, I would now be stuck all the time on that. I told the tech guy I would wait for a fix to this. My question is, are there others out there with this problem or is there a fix for it. I contacted LG and they said they have had no updates to the phone. Is Verizon denying the problem or even working on it ?????

I have a related issue with my LG Lucid. It tends to get stuck in 3g in areas that I know are 4g. A phone restart usually takes care of it but it sure is a pain to do that. If that fails then a battery remove/replace fixes it. Neither are good options but worth considering while we wait for an update.
There are several 3g/4g switch free apps available too but none that say they support Lucid. I found that 3G/4G On/Off (Toggle 3G) by JuYeo! Oh works well to turn on 3g when the Lucid doesn't do it but I haven't found a way to turn on 4g.

Do I need to reset the router when switching between Win and Mac?

I just set up my new Mac Pro with OSX 1.5.2 and Win XP using Bootcamp and it all works fine, but I have one question about connecting to the internet.
I have a Belkin pre-N wireless router. I am connected using an ethernet cable.
When I switch between OSX and Windows by restarting the computer, is it necessary to restart the router while the computer is off so that when it comes back on it can locate its proper connection?
When I was working on my old PC and my new Mac Pro, I noticed that if I just took the ethernet cable from the Mac or PC and connected it to the other machine, it couldn't find the internet unless I turned off the router, waited a moment and turned it back on again, connected to the other machine and then started the machine.
As the two OSs are now in the same machine, will this continue to happen or can I simply switch between operating systems without having to re-initialize the router and connect it before turning on the computer again?
I haven't tried it yet because I am afraid to screw things up, so I am continuing to turn off, restart the router, re-connect and turn the computer on again. That work perfectly but it is tedious.
Can anyone please advise on whether this is necessary or not?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Luis:
You should be able to leave the router on and switch between the two OSes. Try it. Worst thing that can happen is that you would need to restart the router.

Docked T500 - Switch between headphones and speakers

Hey guys,
I am using my T500 with an Advanced Mini Dock at work. I keep the headphones (with microphone) plugged into the docking station.
Sometimes I want to listen to the audio on my laptop's speakers rather than inside the headphones. Is there any way I can make this switch without unplugging the jack from the docking station.
I know that above the volume bar for some systems you are able to switch between headphones and speakers and also, up until ~1 month ago I was able to do this from the SmartAudio utility, but now I can't. I can just switch between SPDIF and headphones.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and I have all the latest drivers and apps that come using the "System Update" utility.
Please let me know if you have a solution for this.
Thank you,
Ciprian

I'm pretty sure that the blame for this lies entirely with Microsoft and their stupid hardware-detecting W7 OS. Yes, it actually detects when you unplug the headphones, tells you what you just did, and promptly resets all sorts of things. The most sensible thing you can do (apart from reverting to XP, which doesn't do this) is to plug an external stereo jack to stereo jack socket extension lead, and plug either your headphones or speakers into that instead, whilst leaving the plug end permanently in the laptop. Microsoft can't pull that stupid stunt on an external connector, so you should be okay with that.
