Using FCP remotely when not at home

Has anyone on this forum ever edited on FCP remotely?
That is, using a remote application, such as LogMe In?
Where I work they have PCs, and sometimes I have down time
and want to edit what I got going at home on FCP.
I can access my Mac remotely from work with with LogMe In, but I haven't
tried editing remotely on FCP, because I'm not sure if that's a good idea?
I'm concerned that it might crash my Mac, or my FCP?
Anyone know anything regarding this?
thanks!!

I've actually done it a ton. I used logmein but eventually got tired of the all too often disconnects. So I have ichat run on startup at my editing station with a script to auto accept screen sharing requests from a specific username. Been doing it this way for about 3 months and it works great when i have some time to kill and would rather be editing.
Since you're on a PC at work you can't use ichat but maybe this will spark some genius engineering idea.

When to use inheritance and when not to?

I've just been trying find out when to use inheritance and when not to use inheritance? I know that inheritance gives advantages such as code reuse and maintainability. But when are their times not to use inheritance that may effect the design of a project?
Also when should one consider aggregation over inheritance(is-a relationship)?
thanks,
plandis

Hi
Answering this question usually requires a few books, so, I'm sorry, it's not really as simple as choosing between using a screwdriver vs. a hammer.
But, very short, inheritance should ideally only be used when there exist a strict 'is-a' relationship. However, sometimes it may be clever to inherit when you have a 'is-almost-a' relationship... And sometimes this is a stupid move. This depends on the context/circumstances.
Aggregation is normally considered a 'has-a' relationship, thereby differing clearly from inheritance. The old 'car' model says "a car is-a vehicle and has-some (at least) wheels."
The wheels are aggregated to the car class, that itself is inherited from vehicle.
However, this is just a good rule-of-thumb and there may be circumstantial reasons for not following these guidelines.

WHEN TO USE SYS_REFCURSOR AND WHEN NOT TO USE REFCURSOR

SYS_REFCURSOR is a Weakly Defined Cursor
DECLARE emp_refcur SYS_REFCURSOR;
when this is so simple
why this
DECLARE TYPE emp_cur_type IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE; my_rec emp_cur_type; ?
Can anyone explain in what situations we should prefer among these ..when both can give same result set .

> WHEN TO USE SYS_REFCURSOR AND WHEN NOT TO USE REFCURSOR
When the requirements define that one is better suited than the other.
There are no hard and fast rules about when to use a specific tool. There are however basic concepts of what the purpose of the tool is, and what typical problems the tool can address.
Ref cursors in PL/SQL.. usually not the best of ideas. Ref cursors are designed for client-server processing.
1) The client makes a request for data/information.
2) PL applies the back-end server logic and construct a SQL statement for the client.
3) PL passes the SQL to the SQL engine where it is parsed and a SQL cursor created.
4) PL passes a reference handle to SQL cursor back to the client
5) The client can now fetch the rows output from the cursor.
Advantages.
- The client does not need to know SQL, db structures, business logic, etc
- The PL code can be improved, modified, new business logic added, without even touching a single byte of client code
So what are the advantages where the "client" in the above is another PL/SQL program? None really.
A "real" client (an external one like Java, C#, Delphi, etc) can receive the ref cursor handle and dynamically at run-time determine the projection (output) of the cursor.
PL code cannot (unless using the latest 11g features). In PL code, a ref cursor is actually implemented as a DBMS_SQL cursor. A DBMS_SQL cursor is to PL code what ref cursor is to Java/C#/etc.
So whether you define a strongly typed or weakly typed ref cursor in PL/SQL code... typical response is "so what?" as ref cursors are not really intended for PL code. Not that there are exceptions - they do come in handy at times.. but as exceptions to the rule.
So my response is "so what?" - it is more important to *correctly" chose what type of client cursor data type you want to use to interact with the back-end SQL cursor. Once that decision has been made (based on technical sound logic), then one can look at (minor) issues such as weak vs. strong ref cursors.

Can I Share Itunes between computers when not at home and not both computers are turned on?

I have my Itunes library on my desktop IMac. Just bought a Mac laptop and want to have Itunes library on both computers. I figured out how to home share, but I want to be able to access my library on my laptop when not at home. Can I do this?

Hey Andrea2020,
You can follow these directions to move your library to the laptop:

Using Shared Libraries When Not Logged In

Is there a way I can use a shared library from my laptop when not logged into my iTunes account on my main computer? It kind of defeats the purpose if I have to have both iTunes running.

Yes, I'd like to be able to access my shared library from my laptop. I'd like it to function so that my home PC (which has the original library on it) does not have to be running iTunes. For times when I'm logged off or not running iTunes (because it uses a lot of the computer's memory, and other users find it quite annoying).
I'd just like to know if there are any third-party mods, software, or any other option to perform this task.

Airport when not at home

Would I be able to use the internet on my macbook when Im not at home? Basically I want to be able to go online when im in hospital, which of course is quite a few miles away from my home. Is there any way I can do this?

Welcome to the discussions!
Yes, you can connect anywhere there is an 802.11B/G (and unofficially A) network with your MacBook. When you open your MB and turn on Airport, it will look for an available signal to connect to. If it does not see one that is in your list it will ask you for some info to connect which the hospital can provide if there is a password or the SSID to connect to.

How to copy catalog from external hard drive to computer hard drive to use smart previews when not connected to external hard drive?

I am very new to LR5. I have LR5 set up so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I found out that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 cannot find my catalog, therefore, I cannot do any editing in smart previews unless connected to the external hard drive. How can I fix this issue so that I can edit photos without being connected to the external hard drive. Is there a way of copying the catalog off the hard drive on the computer hard drive or do I need to reestablish a new catalog using LR5? Does the catalog always need to be loaded on the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

Yes that is correct. The LR catalog must be on the computers internal drive. Then when you have Smart Previews enabled you can edit image without having the drive they are on connected. Then when you connect that drive the images will be updated.
Just COPY those 4 folders over to your internal drive to a folder called Lightroom Catalog that you create. Then Open LR and go to the File menu item and select Open Catalog. Browse to the folder you created called Lightroom Catalog and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file and click Open. Once Lightroom restarts open the preferences, Edit>Preferences, and on the General Tab in the Default Catalog section make sure "When starting up use this catalog:" area lists where you have copied those folders. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever you created that folder/That folder name/Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat.

HT4557 can I share my itunes library when not at home

I just learned how to share my music library between my PC and my iphone when in my home wi-fi. Is there a way I can still share this content when away from home? ( I am about to go on a long trip and would like access to all the music on my computer and it won't all fit on my phone)

No. Not directly. You would have to subscribe to iTunes Match.

When to use "this." when not to ?

Hi, I know this will be a basic question, but can someone tell me the rule of when to use this.method/variable/etc and when not to ?
If I have (And I'll cut down the code,leaving construtors, etc.)
public abstract class DataStuff
protected String message = null;
protected void clearMessage()
this.message = null; // Do I use this.
message = null; // Or not ?
} // End clearMessage()
} // End Class ---------
Lets get more complicated
public class MoreStuff extends DataStuff
public void someMethod()
this.message = "Do I use This ?";
message = "Or Do I not ?";
this.clearMessage(); // or
clearMessage();
} // End someMethod()
} // End Class ------
I know this will be fairly simple, and I am sure there are lots of Tutorials I could not find that explain the difference between "this"
thanks
Paul

Besides using the this reference for instance variables that have the same name as a local variable, it is also used when your class implements an interface and uses it in the class. Let me further explain. Lets pretend that you create a JFrame that has buttons on it. You want your buttons to handle events so you add an ActionListener to the buttons. You also want to code your event handling in the JFrame so you cause your JFrame to implement the ActionListener interface and implement the required method actionPerformed() in your JFrame class. Well, when you add and actionListener to the buttons, you have to use the this reference in the method signature. See code for example.import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ExampleJFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
   public ExampleJFrame() {
      super("Example using 'this' reference!");
      Container c = getContentPane();
      JButton button = new JButton("Push Me");
      /* Here is the example of how the 'this' reference is
         used. Since this class implements ActionListener,
         that means it is an ActionListener. So, when
         we add the method addActionListener to the button,
         it requires that an ActionListener be put into
         the method signature. So, I just pass a reference
         to this class into it (using the 'this' reference).
         Its actionPerformed method will be called. There
         are 3 ways I could think of to handle the
         events for this button. One is to do it the way
         I chose to do it; that is, have the originating
         class (ExampleJFrame) handle it. That is where
         the 'this' reference comes into play. Two is
         to use an anonymous inner class. The second
         option is useful if the code is small and
         self contained. Three is to have another
         class handle it, such as an Action. */
      button.addActionListener(this);
      c.add(button);
      /* incidentally, you could put the this keyword in
         front of each of these methods for readability,
         but most people don't. I used it on the first
         one to demonstrate it. */
               //cause the program to end when closing
      this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);
   }//end constructor
   /*=**************************************************
   * actionPerformed(): required ActionListener method *
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      /* the this reference is also used in here because
         the showMessageDialog() should have as its
         parent a component and we want the component to
         be this JFrame */
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"You used the this pointer!");
   }//end actionPerformed
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      /* when you run this class, a small JFrame with
         a button will appear in the top left corner. */
      ExampleJFrame app = new ExampleJFrame();
   }//end main
}//end ExampleJFrame classtajenkins

Masterdata - when to use it and when not to use it

Hi!
I have had some discussion with my colleagues about the use of masterdata on Oracle databases. Some of them tells me that I should use it if the data don't change often (ofcourse.....). This should ALWAYS be done they say. But I don't agree on this..
Is it really necessary to make a lot of masterdata (and also views that has to be used) if the data is only to be loaded once a day, and the number of records is max 1000?
I can't see the effect on this...
Can someone give me a guideline for when to use masterdata, and when I don't need to use masterdata (if there are any article on this, please give it to me).
Best Regards
Helge

Problem using iPad to receive and send emails when not at home

I am unable to send or receive emails from any outside wifi location like Tesco / ikea but once home there is not a problem. Messages reads "Server unable to respond" I was wondering if it is a security issue ?

Greetings
I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well.
(A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

Maximum number of monitors used for remote desktop not working correctly

My goal is to connect from my home to my work machine but limit the number of monitors used to 2.
At work, I have a machine running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with dual monitors. My home machine is Windows 8.1 Pro and it has 3 monitors (on two video cards).
I followed the instructions of the MSDN blog post about using multiple monitors for remote desktop but cannot get it to work right.
Here's what I see when I modify the group policy setting "Limit maximum number of monitors" on the target (work) machine:
Setting - Result:
1 - 1
2 - 1 (???)
3 - 3
It looks like I can't limit the number of monitors used to 2, I get either one or all. Am I missing something or is this by design?
Max

Hi Max,
Support for multiple monitors is available when connecting from any Windows 7/8.1 computer, however, there are restrictions when connecting to a computer using multi-monitor mode. When connecting to Windows 7 computers, only computers that are running Windows
7 Enterprise or Ultimate can be connected to in multi-monitor mode. When connecting to Windows 8.1, only computers that are running Windows 8.1 Professional or Enterprise can be connected to in multi-monitor mode.

Can't send email when not at home

Hi there!
I can send and receive email fine when I am at home, but now I am away from my home I can download my email but not send anything. My settings all appear to be correct (no changes made since I left home) so I am wondering why this is.

As Andrew says, your ISP may be blocking the SMTP to prevent spam. However, you may be able to send Mail using another port. My ISP blocks SMTP on the default port (port 25 I think is default) but if you set the port to 587 it works.
So, check you ISP's help. You may be able to set SMTP to use a different port and get your mail to send

Using air app when not active

Does anyone know how to maximize an air app without clicking on it?
I will try to explain this but it is hard so bear with me?
I want an air app that will be minized to the system tray to open when the user highlights text in a desktop application and the presses a certain keyboard command. The keyboard commant would be something like ctrl + t.
Once the event is trigger I want that text to be sent to a text box in the air app from there it will be translated.
The reason I want to do this is that I want an app that uses google translate api to translate any selectable text that may be on the screen.
I have the translator already finished. I just want to add the feature explained above but I am not sure where to start.

Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

Outgoing mail when not at home

I am new to smart phones. I set up my email account with the proper incoming & outgoing settings and turned on wi-Fi. The phone is connected to my network at home via the wi-fi and I have sent and received mail at home. When I went out yesterday, I noticed I could receive email but was not able to send it. I must have missed something in the settings and cannot find the info I need in "email set-up". Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Hello lenna! What I recommend for you to do is make sure that WiFi was disabled when you left the vicinity of your home wireless router and reset your device to CDMA. If you've done that but are still not able to get email, please let me know. Thanks!
