Using itouch for directions

Just was wondering what are the possible ways to use the ipod touch for directions? I am completely aware of the google maps feature on the touch in which you can look up road directions while connected to a wi-fi network. However, once you have these directions, can you still look at them once actually on the road? I find it that the maps won't load when I'm on the road most likely because of not being connected to a wi-fi network. Does anybody know of any way to look at these maps and your directions while "NOT" connected to a wi-fi network? If not, what are some suggestions that people use the itouch for for directions while on the road? On a slight different note, is there any way one could connect an external gps to the itouch and then look at the maps? Sorry if these are rather stupid questions but just wanted to know the best possible way to look at directions while on the road. Just ind it irritating to look at directions while I'm connected to a wifi network only to have them without the maps once disconnected. Any thought/suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.

If you actually use the directions feature, the different steps of the trip will be saved on the iPod, although only with a very small portion of the map around each turn. If you go 20 miles on one road, that portion will not be saved.
You can try this by searching for a route and then switching off WiFi and see what happens.
Hope this helps.

I want to use two ipods in my library, one for music and one for podcasts...

Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones you can sync with one computer/iTunes library or account. On top of that, how you sync one iPod does not affect the syncing preferences of another.

Simply configure the Nano to only sync podcasts and nothing else.

Using Items for direct labour

I sell direct labour (service engineers etc) both as time & material jobs and as fixed priced jobs. As SAP B1 does not have any job costing my work around is to set each engineer as an Item master and book the number of hours worked on any job as you would if selling widgets i.e 5 hours work/5widgets sold.
I use 'sold only items (with no cost) for my fixed price sales and by posting, say, 5 hours to the sales order I at least get a sales invoice which shows gross profit after deducting 5 X item cost/hourly cost from the 'sales only' item.
It gets a lot more detailed with me having to journal the payroll and match it against all the items of labour I've posted but hopefully you get the idea.
What I'd like to know is there any one else out there that uses direct labour and needs to reflect their cost and sales value, gross profit etc and balance it back to the actual oayrol costs etc
Any help woulld again be gratefully appretiated and even bribey comes to mind. LOL

Martin,
As far as I know standard system functionality only allows for standards to be setup to track labor costs. If you want specific employee costs (actuals from payroll) you would need an ISV product. I don't know of any manufacturing add-ons that give this functionality but Enprise and Navigator's Project One give you this functionality for project-based companies.

What is the right iTouch for ABA data collection, filming, behavior apps, etc?

I am a behavior specialist in a public school and currently I am looking to write a grant for some iTouches to take ABA data, film students for video modeling, and apps such as behavior Tracker and things of that nature. I am not sure what the best iTouch is for my situation (I am trying to be economical, but get what I need.) Plus I have to write an itemized list of expenditures for the iTunes. Any help, esp. from people who use iTouches for th is reason) would be greatly appreciated.

There is only one model of iPod touch currently offered. The only difference is storage capacity, and if you plan to be taking videos of students, having more capacity would be beneficial; get as much as you can. I'd ask at least for 32GB versions in the grant.
Regards.

For the iOS5 (iTouch 4th Gen), was there supposed to be an iTunes and Documents app (directly on the iTouch) for the iCloud feature? Because I don't have it and I already tried restoring my iTouch again...

so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?
No.
I suggest you contact iTunes support.

and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash.
I wouldn't say "this is fine" and it is not cash.
In many places, attempting to use a debit card with no funds (even if you don't know there are no funds) is fraud and is illegal.

You could repartition your drive to have a different OS X with the older iTunes there, and the newer iTunes on the existing partition. Back up everything beforehand. See Kappy's advice in this thread. Partitioning my Hard Drive

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

I broke my laptop last week and until I can afford a new one, I'd like to use my ipad for university. Just wondering whether there is a way I can view online lectures? I have an app called my media but its only good for direct download links

Only good for direct download links. I can pick to view my lecture in either audio or video format through WMP or QT from my school website. The formats come in a drop box form, which when on a desktop or laptop open in the player you choose and play. I hope this makes sense

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

TS1702 I have the "Today is +" app on my Itouch. I have been using it for 2 years. I always email my backup to my home computer. I realized the other day that it stopped receiving the backup to my computer in July!    Help. now what?

I have the app "Today is +"   I have been using it for about 2 years. I usually send backup by email to my home computer. I noticed the other day that I have NOT been receiving my backups since July!   When I send it from my Itouch it does give me a "message sent." I have done all the updates and restarted my Itouch and computer. No luck. I have iOS 6.1.3.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can version 8.20 be used as a direct replacment for version 6.0.2

Hi,
My company manufactures a digital heating block which has in the past used LabView Run-Time version 6.0.2 to track the block temperature readings over time. The digital heating block interfaces with the computer via an RS232 port.
Can the new version 8.20 be used as a direct replacment for the 6.0.2 software? Does the software need to be customized for this application?
Thanks.

The most likely source of trouble would be the serial connection. In the past, LV used serial functions which had a blue wire identifying the port as an input. At some point, it started using VISA functions instead and, while I assume the legacy VIs are still there in 8.2 (they now have VISA code under the hood), they might not be or they might be removed at some future date and they probably don't help the performance. Depending on the way the app is built, it might be complicated to do some proper replacing.
Anyway, if your code used VISA back then, then you shouldn't have a problem.
Try to take over the world!

Using a Bi-directional Media Converter in FC Pro

I have a Canopus ADVC 300 Bi-directional Media Converter. I'm having an issue with syncing (Voice & Lips). When I look at my canvas monitor and my external monitor (my video is maybe 1 or 2 frames off to the left or the right. I have to say most of these movies are coming from YouTube. Does that make a difference? They look in sync when I play them back in QuickTime 7 Player, (but not on the timeline) I have my settings in FC Pro set to 29.97. In the process of trying to make sense of it all, I'll try 29.97 and 30 fps. Is there a big difference there? Also, I started out using the H.264, it didn't seem to work that well for me. Right now i'm working Apple ProRes 422 High Quality. it seems to work a little better.
You might have better recommendations.
Thank You!

Is the audio following the video out through the Canopus or are the speakers being fed by an audio out through the computer?
The audio should be fed through the Canopus.
What is the clip frame rate? That is what you need to know.
fwiw - As you seem to have discovered, h.264 is not an editing codec.
Why are you using ProResHQ for youtube material? It is a total waste of hard drive space and bandwidth demand for zero benefit. ProResLT would be a much better choice.

A useful story for you, will hope

Today I upgraded to CS6, both Design/Web Premium and Audition.
After really being attracted, and thinking a lot about it, I didn't do so via Creative Cloud. I think you might like to consider why, and things that can be good to do about it.
I'm a long-time customer and adept with the tools, but it's important to know that what I do with them is to the side rather than in the center of my endeavors. In that, I suspect I'm like very many of your customers besides those directly in design shops.
Probably many of us have also been the every-other-release updaters, which rather than 'avoiding paying up' put our income stream for you in a balance with value received. I might add that I've been an consultant executive starting new media business within a big name, and fully understand the draw that subscription business models can have, if you can subtly choose and thus successfully manage them.
Here are the deepest problems Creative Cloud showed to me at present:
Apart from the first year offer, Creative Cloud would be more expensive to me. Yes, you added the extra apps, but not in proportion to their use value for me. Maybe the 'new apps' really will help me keep up with things like eBook and Html5 developments successfully, but that's an open question, isn't it, given history?
Once on this gravy train of subscription to you, I would be committed_forever_ to keep paying, if you look at your offer practically, and with the idea of needing to use the tools. That is not something my gut would let me do. Paths can change, and particularly will on the mature side of the ledger and with the kinds of creative things those of our weight can very usefully offer, which often need to be done on a stringent budget until they can flower.
Tools. The very point in having tools is that they are there when you need them to be, both in moments where learning takes place, and in intervals of creating deliverables. That's an emotional matter, surely, and you should know strongly at the heart of any purchase of the kinds of things you make, especially by individuals or individual decision-makers, who in principle I am going to presume are in fact a significant proportion of your buyers.
What can you do about this? And maximize your profits?
Primarily, I think you should modify the Creative Cloud exit terms. Instead of reverting to whatever products we had going in, which would then be obsolete, we should revert to the recent version of those products. Thus if I had come in at CS5.5 Design Premium, I might exit when CS8 was current, and in my CC use: that CS8, now stand-alone, is what I should go forward licensed to use. Now my investment is covered, and you get all the subscription business you can receive from me, while keeping the incentives to keep me going forward, whether CC or standard licensed. I now would be free to be in or out as suited my own situation -- an immense and proper comfort.
I also feel it would do very much for Adobe customers in daily use and in their perceptions that you use the relaxation a more committed revenue stream gives you to fully share any application fixes and upgrades as soon as they are ready. It should be a privilege of all who support you, not just those who can reasonably choose to do it in the subscription way. What's begun in a much better sharing by certain courageous managers on the forums would blossom, with the turnaround on fixes and improvements available most fairly.
Can you improve the way the rates work? An elephant in the room is surely that you can always raise the rate charged. But also, there can be times surely for many where the rates just go over what the current use of the subscription will bear. I would think there's a place for the 29.95 rate to be always available, below a certain time-percentage use level per month of the tools. Now you have something a customer can stick with -- through life changes, illness, investment in new venue, and so forth. You also have an entry available for all those who need to learn them, your future customers, and I don't have to mention what alternative method enough of them use when you don't have this. So, a flat rate, for maintenance and for the new?
Let me return to the thought of tools. A person's paintbrushes ought to be always there; we don't rent them, even if in some production of art we may pay for materials including brushes at a stream. Inspiration asks that those brushes be there every time needed, to express what may become value (which will be shared with you), even or especially when we are not in such a stream. Especially in a picture like this, a satisfied and secure customer is a much better customer, don't you think?
The short of it is, subscriptions give Adobe a kind of security. Any but the most corporate of your customers need their own security in return. By improving the terms of the Creative Cloud, you will improve our ability to support you in it. Removing the threat of what happens when circumstances indicate we leave,and during periods it doesn't make individual sense to participate, would create the real virtuous circle here.
Thanks for considering this, as well as you've considered some other things and made appropriate changes, which we notice in recent times. Appreciated.

Better exit strategy? Agreed. I get the impression that Adobe's still mulling that one over and we may see more mutually beneficial terms emerge in future.
Don't know that anyone other than Adobe is happy with the current all-or-nothing terms.
Mid-cycle feature updates for perpetual customers? Won't happen other than the 0.5 releases (wonder how much longer they'll be around?). That's one of the UPSes (Unique Selling Propositions) of the Cloud.
Clearly, Adobe eventually wants to deliver all its software via subscription. They are going in the same direction as mobile (cell) phone carriers and utilities (gas/water/electricity) providers.
2010/2011's subscription model offered little value to most and got a muted response. The 2012/2013 Cloud model is much closer to the mark and the adoption rate is much higher but still being tweaked (e.g. Lightroom just arrived).
The Cloud's value obviously tempts you (so you're obviously on the fringe of the target market)- but not quite enough yet to sign up. I'm sure the balance will tip soon and tempt you again.
I'm sure the Cloud offerings will improve over time.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back
