What is the most convenient way to downgrade tons of Apple lossless tracks?

I have many thousands of songs encoded in Apple lossless. Since it's eating up my hard disk space I stopped importing CD's that way, however I'm stuck with thousands of huge files I'd like to batch downgrade. Also, I have most of those in playlists and would like to automate the process of convertion, moving to the correct playlist and deletion of the old files. I was searching for an app or plugin but found nothing. Any ideas. Anybody. Please.

Check the Dougscripts web site. There may be one that does that. iTunes will, of course, convert, but it won't add it to a playlist.

I have three email accounts: Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail. Can you share how you normally switch to different account? I normally have to exit the one I am using and then start another one. Is there any short cut??

Try to download Mobile Documents from Nokia Labs. The Widget for one Mail is litte enough to have 3 Mails on one screen.
First you have to sign in at:

You can menage your mails and devices from the browser(like BB)
The sync is just per 5minuts. Thats not good but ok.

I have an ipod classic with 4gb, it is full. What is the most economical way to upgrade to at least 16gb

I have an ipod classic with 4gb, it is full. What is the most economical way to upgrade to at least 16gb?
(I don't want to delete anything)

To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.

What is the most effective way to write Statement to catch and reverse errors during query excution?

Hello my friends:
I am wondering what is the most effective way to deal with errors, specifically in a
Stored Procedure.
I wrote something like this:
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
/*My statements goes in here*/
IF ERROR_NUMBER() = 0 -- Do I need this line?
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ERROR_NUMBER() > 0 --Do I need this line?
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
END CATCH;
It would make sense using the if Statement when attempting to log errors.
Just too many variations.
Thanks

What is the most efficent way to create both a standard and HD DVD

Hi,
I'm just getting into HD video editing, and I have relatives who will be several years behind me. I will be making HD DVD's for myself to use, but I will also need to make standard DVD's to send to my relatives.I am assuming that the HD DVD's I create will not play in a standard DVD player. I may be wrong. However, If this is correct, is there a particular point in the process of working with Encore where I can make that choice, create the DVD, and then go back and alter it in order to create the other type without destroying and having to redo everything that was done up to that point?

Thank you Hunt. Being ahead of most of the rest of the world and getting the best technology out there can be a pain sometimes. Reading through Jon Geddes' article left me scratching my head several times, and some of it went way over my head, but I'll keep at it, until it sinks in. Some language, terms, and shorthand, I'm sure are simple to understand to a lot of people, but I'm not in that catagory. I'll just keep working at it.

Subject: what is the most efficent way to create both a standard and HD DVD
I would edit the Project in HD in PrPro. The BD authoring part will be straight workflow.
For the SD DVD-Video, you have a few choices. You can Export to DV-AVI Type II for Import into a new Encore Project for the DVD. Some feel that PrPro does not do a good job at down-rezing from HD to SD. For a workflow that will likely yield better quality, see this http://www.precomposed.com/blog/2009/07/hd-to-sd-dvd-best-methods/. If you have PrPro/Encore CS4, then Jeff Bellune's /thread/487134?tstart=0 might be useful to you. Just follow the links to the tutorial.
Good luck,

What's the most efficient way to transfer to personal domain?

I've been using the cumbersome .Mac address and have spent a lot of time optimizing the site, having also purchased a domain name (which I'll switch to), which is currently masked and forwarded. So what's the most smooth way of using the personal domain without losing all the strides I've made to get bumped up in the rankings? Thanks in advance for your suggestions. www.RedCottageInc.com (that's my future personal domain!)

I'm saying that you give Google the .Mac URL to get to your sitemap but use the registered domain name for normal access.
You are promoting your site with www.RedCottageInc.com but, because it is masked, Google needs your web.mac address to access the verification file and the sitemap so that it can spider your site.
You normally upload your sitemap as "sitemap.xml". You can test its accessibility by entering
http://web.mac.com/username/WebSiteName/Sitemap.xml in your browser.
Google needs this URL to get to the sitemap - visitors will use www.RedCottageInc.com.
Google wants to get to the verification file and the sitemap but your website visitors don't.
I guess all this is confusing if you haven't done it before and I don't know that I am explaining it very well. The best way to get it is to go through all the steps of creating the verification file and sitemap, uploading them to your site folder and adding and verifying in your Google control panel.

What's the most efficient way to serve a file from a servlet?

I have a servlet that does various different things depending on the needs. Sometimes it dynamically generates content, and sometimes all it does is send a file out, with no alteration.
What is the most efficient way to just send a file?
One option:
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(...)
(send all the bytes from is to os, the regular way using a buffer)Another option is to say:
RequestDispatcher rd = response.getRequestDispatcher(fileName);
rd.forward();Any other options? What's the prefered way of doing this?
I know the rule of "don't optimize too early" but this is a situation where we need to get the maximum amount of files served with the hardware we have, and it's going to be a lot of static files, so efficiency is important.
Thanks

Ok, that's what I thought. It would be nice if there were a "response.sendStream(InputStream input)" method in the ServletResponse class. Even nicer would be a sendFile or sendChannel or something. This is probably a common usage and it's a place where the container has many opportunities for optimization. For example, it could call the operating systems send_file kernel call so the entire transfer would be done directly from the disk controller to the ether card (on systems that support that).
For now I'll just do my own buffered copy.

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase all the data on it?

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase the data?

You have two options.....
One is to do a clean reinstall of your OS - if you still have the USB installer that came with your Macbook Air...
The second option is to create a new user (your granddaugher's name).....Deauthorize your Macbook Air from your Itunes and Appstore.....
Restart your Macbook after you've created your granddaughter's user name, login under your granddaughter's username and delete your username.
Search your Macbook for your old files and delete them.....
Good luck...

What is the most efficient way to have full access to the front panel on RT Labview?

I have a RT machine that needs to do its job and also port the front panel to an external machine over the network. What is the most efficient way to do it? Using as little of the RT time as possible but providing full functionality to the RT front panel.
So far I have been using it directly from Labview - running the VI on a remote (RT) and have the front panel on local Labview (WINDOWS). I know I can do it with also through WWW (not very happy with that though).
LV2009 SP1.
Thanks

Running a compiled executable on the RT target, rather than running it within the development environment, is probably slightly more efficient but limits you to the web interface. If you're running within the LabVIEW environment, I doubt there's a noticeable difference in efficiency from the RT perspective between the web server and the LabVIEW front panel, although that's mostly a guess (I would expect the RT system to send identical data in each case, once the front panel is loaded). Those are your only options in modern LabVIEW versions. In LabVIEW 7.1 you could build an executable that acted as the front panel for an RT system, but that feature does not exist in recent versions. However, a quick search turned up this document with code to approximately duplicate that behavior, perhaps it will work for you?

What is the most efficient way to convert a static site to a responsive site using Dreamweaver?

I need to convert an old site made in Dreamweaver to be responsive to any monitor size. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Depending on what you have to work with and how it was coded, it might be doable and then again not. Suffice it to say, there are no magic buttons that will do this for you. Also consider that mobile & tablet users interact differently with their web devices. So your navigation & forms must be finger friendly. Also images & content must make mobile users happy without killing their dataplans. There's a lot of planning that goes into making a good Responsive Web site.

What is the most efficient way to turn an array of 16 bit unsigned integers into an ASCII string such that...?

What is the most efficient way to turn a one dimensional array of 16 bit unsigned integers into an ASCII string such that the low byte of the integer is first, then the high byte, then two bytes of hex "00" (that is to say, two null characters in a row)?
My method seems somewhat ad hoc. I take the number, split it, then interleave it with 2 arrays of 4095 bytes. Easy enough, but it depends on all of these files being exactly 16380 bytes, which theoretically they should be.
The size of the array is known. However, if it were not, what would be the best method?
(And yes, I am trying to read in a file format from another program)

My method:

What is the most efficient way to post several stories to multiple html pages

What is the most efficient way to post five stories to multiple html pages?
Currently they are all html files saved in DW with some divs sharing content and other divs are unique.
I've experimented with saving stories as library items and dropping into other html but wondered if there is a more efficient or dynamic process.

Moving content from iMovie to iMovie - what's the most efficient way?

If I edit and create movies in iMovie08 on one iMac and I want to transfer the content to iMovie08 another iMac 200 miles away , what's the most efficient way? I prefer not to burn DVDs, because I want to do further work on the movies on the second iMac's iMovie (so I can share them with iTunes and sync them with Apple TV).

>PDPageAddCosContents(destPage, PDPageGetCosContents(srcPage));
Does this method (PDPageGetCosContent) exist? It would be easy enough
to create, but I don't see it in the document.
More seriously, I have a vague memory that it is a Really Bad Thing to
share the same Contents objects between multiple pages. Maybe
something to do with page deletion, can't remember.
>PDPageAddCosResource(destPage, PDPageGetCosResources(srcPage));
These two methods are not symmetric, and PDPageAddCosResource doesn't
work that way, sadly...

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

What is the most sensible way to extend a wifi signal. I am in a cinderblock house and I have to buy something that will give me a single network but added range from my airport extreme base station.

Use an Airport Express. Configure the AEBS to allow it's wireless network to be extended. This is a dropdown menu option under the Wireless tab. Configure the Airport Express to Extend an Existing Network also under it's Wireless tab. You will need to provide the name of your network used in the AEBS as well as the network's access password.
