What fields do you all use for tagging your music?

As question please. I'm tagging all my music and wondering what everyone choses? I do artist, song name, album name, album artist (for compalations eg Now Music 71), year, genre. This seems enough for sorting on my Mac and my iPods. Anyone any others or any hints please?

I always fill in the *Album Artist* and *Track Number* (which I assume you forgot to list in your initial post).
Comments tend to get used to store information I don't want cluttering up the track or album titles as well as general comments.
I sometimes use the various Sort... fields to adjust the order in which things get listed - more on that here.
I generally use the Grouping field for Smart Playlists, e.g. iTSW for *iTunes Single Of The Week* and to help manage multiple iPods:
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

Once and for all, how does one stop losing music on IPOD TOUCH? WHAT settings do you people use to stop losing music? Does anybody have any help with this? Does any body have any help at all? APPLE offers no help!!!!!!!!!

I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!! I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library?

What settings do y'all use for Memory Usage?

Application default is 100% and Still Cache is 10%.
I have seen diffeent theories on this and put my Apllication down to 80%. Now it seems I am getting an Out Of Memory message when doing haevy duty renders.
Ideas?
Thanks folks!

Buy more memory, Mark. It's cheap.
FCP can use a total of 4GB, but it assigns about 1.5GB for related processes it figures it needs, so the core application can then use up to 2.5GB. When you have 4GB or less, that means if you allow FCP to use 100%, the OS will have little or nothing left and will use Virtual Memory when the need arises, This in turn will impact FCP and cause Page Outs. That means your timeline will be playing from the hard drive.
So, if you have 4GB or less, set the FCP memory allowance to less than 100%. In your case, you apparantly don't have enough memory for your project's needs.
So, buy more RAM. It's cheap.

There has got to be a backup product out there to allow a system to be backed up to a NAS or Drive attached to a server that is as simple as CrashPlan or TimeMachine but that actually work and don't cost $50/month for a system.
Thoughts?
CrashPlanPROe, the enterprise version, is $60 per year per client, not $50 per month, so it may be worth looking into. It's what we run and it's been working very well for us, though you need a central server to run the software. That server can be Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, any of which will work with any of the supported clients:

We tried Retrospect and had to return it for the limitation I mentioned above.

Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted? Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
All of these options do not seem too great to me.
I am open to any ideas.
Thanks,
Rob

What do you guys use for scratch disks on iMac?

We're about to upgrade to new iMacs / Mac Pros and I'm wondering what you guys use for your second scratch disk? Thunderbolt dock? Thunderbolt G-Raid?
Has anyone successfully made their global scratch disk their fibre connected shared storage (Terrablock) and not had Premiere behave strangely? That would be the best option I think, but found that Premiere froze up a lot more when we did.

I have a pair of 4-bay Pegasus Thunderbolt 2 enclosures attached to my Mac Pro, and one of the volumes in one of the enclosures is my scratch space.

What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6. Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors. I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

Hi Reddy,
As you know aggregates are baby cubes right.
Aggregate names by default system has given as 6 digit number like 100831 but write the description by yourself.
Here you have to remember fact table is created with the name
like for ex: /BIC/F100831.
while creating aggregates you can observe all options carefully till complete the creation process then after I am sure about
your can get idea .
If problem still persists with you let me know the same until
get out of that.
else assign points if this is sufficient.
Thanks,
Ramki

Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
whats a good set up now a days?
I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on Windows platform.
Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.

About my experience working with events:
In one of my BW Project: we were using AutoSys to do job scheduling (to run InfoPackages).
To automate the loading process we created events for each infopackage. Then in that Infopackage we used to select option "Start later in Background" and then select option "After Event". Then specified the event name and parameter.
Then in the same infopackage we selected button "Subsequent Process" the in that seelct option "Trigger Events" Here you can have options to specify if this event is successful then what next event to trigger and if this event fails what next event to trigger.
So this way we used to automate data loads.
This was dont caz there was no process chains concept during that time. So good example of events and event based process are PROCESS CHAINS.
Hope this helps !!
Assign points if helps !!
