What is the best way to tap into my work's Window's network?

I have a new MacBook Pro (with Parallels and Vista).
My work has a typical ethernet network of Windows machines. (They gave me a Dell laptop running XP. Yuck!)
The office has no wireless anything. I have one ethernet outlet in my office. Assuming the Dell has bluetooth, can I use bluetooth to get onto the office network? Do I need Airport Extreme/Bonjour?
I suspect that anything "out of the ordinary" will raise an eyebrow, so I want to be as unobtrusive as possible. I don't need to access any printer. Primarily I want to access the Internet, and then the company server.

Ah I have the same question. We tried using the script from both the Apple and MS support sites as follows
sudo su
$ cd /usr/sbin
$ cat > EnableUnicastDotLocal
#!/bin/tcsh
echo domain local > /etc/resolver/local.1
grep -v domain /etc/resolv.conf >> /etc/resolver/local.1
echo search_order 2 >> /etc/resolver/local.1
[Control-D]
$ chmod +x EnableUnicastDotLocal
$ exit
These steps create an executable shell script named "EnableUnicastDotLocal" that will create and populate the necessary configuration files to enable dual lookups of .local hostnames.
To run the script, execute this command:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/EnableUnicastDotLocal
We get stuck on the error message
"/etc/resolv.conf doesn't exist"
does anyone know anything about this. The MAC is running MAC OS X 10.3

What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
TYIA
Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
I did that on XP so I know better now!
Here is just 1 example of many:
On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes. In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version. Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

What is the best way to allow two designers, working in different locations, to have access to the same muse site?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to share access to a muse site so that two different designers can be responsible for different features of the site. e.g., one is responsible for photo galleries, the other is responsible for shopping cart. Is there a way to do this?

Hi
Please check the following thread,

What is the best way to get activesync to work on Exchange 2010 with co-existing Exchange 2003?

I currently have all my mailboxes on my Exchange 2003 server and I introduced my first Exchange 2010 server into the same environment so they are running co-existent. The mailflow is functioning properly so now I need to test out the activesync. From
what I've read, you have to create a SSL certificate with SAN on the Exchange 2010 server and create a legacy.domain.com name to point to the Exchange 2003 server. Then replace out the existing SSL certificate on the Exchange 2003 server with the
new one that was created for the Exchange 2010 server. However, my question is that if this does not work could I easily revert back to the original settings where Exchange 2003 server is doing the activesync instead of Exchange 2010? That way
I would not disrupt activesync from working.

The legacy url is not important for activesync, but:
Enable Integrated Windows authentication on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory on the
Exchange 2003 back-end server
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332348(EXCHG.140).aspx
once you point your external url for active sync at your 2010 it should proxy the 2003 active sync

What's the best way to transfer my iTunes music from windows to mac?

I ordered my first Macbook which will get here on Monday, August 13, 2012. This is my first Macbook so I need a little help transferring my music over to my new laptop from my current Windows laptop. Is my best option just using home sharing? I did a Google search which turned up home sharing but I wanted to come on here to see if it is in fact my best route. I'd like to transfer all my music (2500 songs) with the album artwork and info I've entered. I'm a little picky about my music so I'd like everything to transfer over. Thanks in advance.

I don't want to have two accounts that I have to switch back and forth between.
You don't have to switch between accounts. Just use the new account.
If you start up and then add a new, 2nd account with the imported info, you can just use this new account. Either keep the first account as an admin user or delete it.
If I do this the first time I start the computer will I be able to have just one account?
Yes.
I have two accounts.
One only for admin stuff and another for my regualr, day-to-day use.

What is the latest version of Firefox that will work with Windows ME?

We were recently given an older Gateway laptop that we intend to use solely as an internet terminal. Alas, it is running Windows ME and I don't even know if it has all the specs to upgrade (and certainly not to Vista, which is the only thing we have an install disk for). It currently has Firefox 2.0.0.20, which of course contains numerous security vulnerabilities and is incompatible with most newer plugins. What is the best version of Firefox that will work with Windows ME, and is it still available for download? Thanks!

Hmm... guess this will be just an e-mail terminal, hardly anything else works cuz I can't update Flash! Thanks for your help.

What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

Hi,
General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution. If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI. This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy. More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi. The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over. I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them. This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
JP

You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level. Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

What's the best way to detect that text fits into ContainerControllers without scrolling?

Hi.
Question
What's the best way to detect that text typed by user (or added programmatically) exceeds available container space and find out where starts truncated part? Is there available some other (than described bellow) easy way to detect it or disallow set of controllers to receive more characters that can be displayed in given composition area?
My partialy failed attempt (simplified)
For example lets say that I've got an editable textflow with attached two instances of ContainerController.
var flow:TextFlow = createSomeFlowFromGivenString(sampleText),
    firstController = new ContainerController(firstSprite, 100, 30),
    lastController = new ContainerController(secondSprite, 600, 30);
flow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
flow.flowComposer.addController(firstController);
flow.flowComposer.addController(lastController);
flow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
With enabled vertical scroll policy I can compare height of the composition in last controller with height of the content:
var bounds:Rectangle = lastController.getContentBounds(),
    overflow:Boolean = lastController.compositionHeight < bounds.height;
trace('Content does not fit into given area?', overflow)
But when I switch vertical scroll policy off (lastController.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.OFF) - unfortunately this no longer works...(In my case scrolling should be dissabled, since text areas might have only one line with restricted width)
Use case
I want to create fillable form. Field might have a single or multiple lines. One field might start in the middle of the page, continue in the next line where it spreads through whole page and end in the - quarter of page width long - third line. Text typed by the user can't exceed given area since it might cover some static text that sits right after/below field.
Something like ascii image bellow:
|                <PAGE>                    |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|               [Field starts here........ |
| ........................................ |
| ........................................ |
| Ends here..]                             |
|                                          |
|                                          |
| [Another field] xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx x xx |
| xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx                      |
|                                          |
|                              [One more.. |
| .....]                                   |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
Info:
[......] <-- form fields starts with '[' character, and ends with ']'
xxx       <-- sample, static text
| and _   <-- page borders

I've tried something like that previously, but it didn't work because then I've got vertical scroll policy to set to 'auto'. After changing verticalScrollPolicy to ScrollPolicy.OFF in the last container it worked like a charm.
Thanks zhen bian

What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

Hi All,
We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
Thanks in advance,
- Shashi

Hello Shashi,
some comments:
1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

What is the best way to import pictures from Lightroom 5 into FCP X

What is the best way to transfer pictures from Lightroom 5 into Final Cut Pro X?

There is no one best way. If, for instance, you want to be able to zoom into the picture with a Ken Burns effect then you may want to save out a very high res version that will be larger than your video resolution. Just use Lightroom to export a jpg file wherever you want it. You could export it into the Events folder and then choose not to copy it when you import it within FCPx. You could import the picture into iPhoto and then access it directly from within FCPx. Those are two simple, "regular" ways to get it into FCPx but if you are not going to Ken Burns the image by zooming into it and such you will want to crop it in Lightroom to the same size you will be using ie if you are making 720HD video then crop the image to that size and proportion before you export it from Lightroom.

What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

What is the best way to get a tune created in GB for iPad into iMovie for iPad?

Haven't done it myself, but seems like the correct workflow would be:
From GarageBand (iOS), My Songs -> select song -> Send to iTunes
From iMovie HD (iOS), My Project -> Insert Media -> select by song name
I'm not sure if GB creates its own playlist for tagging exported songs in your iTunes library so selecting by name would be the next-best method.
Have you tried this?

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
However, is there better way to do this?
The eventual log file will be something like:
log message 1
log message 2
content from file line 1
content from file line 2
content from file line 3
log message 3
log message 4Thanks

1. What do you mean by better?
I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
        File AAA - contents
                   First Line
                   Second Line XXX
        Log 1
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: First Line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following line
        Log 2
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                First Line
                Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

I've been reading here about the Grassvalley ADVC300 to capture and convert analog video to digital. Still learning about it.
