What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?

Here's what I do when I have iTunes problems and it works 9 out of 10 times. I have Ccleaner; It's a wonderful tool to have. If you don't have it, google it and install it, just the free version. You'll see the list of all of your installed programs in there to unstall (among of a host of other things you could do with that program) but anyway, right click on Apple Software first to repair, when done then right click on Apple Application Support to repair, then when done with that, right click on iTunes to repair that and all should be well after that. No uninstall should be necessary at all when you do all that.

What's the proper way to remove CS3 after CS4 install without screwing up Acrobat?

During CS4 installation, I had some serial number issues with Acrobat. It turns out that even though Acrobat is part of the creative suite, the licensing for it is different. I've got all of that sorted out now and CS4 is successfully installed. Now I need to remove CS3, but I don't want to remove any shared components that would disable or affect Acrobat.
Should I just remove the CS3 folders in my Applications folder or should I use the CS3 Uninstaller?

I can't run any of the CS3 apps because of the Acrobat licensing issue that I mentioned earlier. Therefore, they're just taking up hard drive space now. I also have a suspicion that CS4 and CS3 might be sharing resources? Can't quantify that but quitting CS4 apps takes forever and shutting down the machine after quitting CS4 apps takes even longer.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Don

Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

What is the proper way to move the iTunes (v11) Media folder to an external USB HD?

What is the proper way to move the iTunes (version 11) Media folder to an external USB HD? I have tried to following listed instructions, but although I can get the songs listed, their locations are not found.

Tried the option key, but it would not let me select the copied iTunes folder. Also changed the path for iTunes Media Location folder. But still iTunes is not happy. I could try the alias route, but I don't have an iTunes folder that iTunes is happy with to point it to. All of the songs and even the playlists will come up, but it seems some form of the folder and its files must remain on the internal hard drive. But I want to move it off because it is out of space. Any other thoughts?
I have all of the music etc files what I do not want to lose is the playlists. I don't care about the play counts. I would be glad to reimport all of the songs to the newly designated folder, but won't I lose my playlists?
Thanks for your help.

What's the proper way to charge my iPod?

What's the proper way to charge my iPod? I am confused because some people say that the ipod fast charges for up to 80% in 2 Hours and full charges up to 100% for the next 2 Hours, 4 Hours total. Now, i sync my iPod on the PC and charges it up to 2 Hours and the indicator on my iPod and iTunes already displayes the "PLUG" icon on the battery. Here's the part where i'm confused, how am i supposed to charge my iPod up to 100%/4 Hours if it will already be full w/in 2 Hours? Is it normal? :/

Lithium ion batteries don't require much special handling. Charge them when ever you want. You don't have to wait until they discharge completely. In fact, the one thing you really shouldn't do with a lithium ion battery is drain it completely and let it sit that way.
Best of luck.

What is the proper way to record line numbers in Master/Detail records?

Guys and Gals,
Been thinking about this for awhile, but thought it best to ask the people who really know what they are doing.
What is the proper way to record & show line numbers in a Master / Detail record set?
For example, take Master/Detail relationship Orders and OrderItems. Orders has a column Document_Number and OrderItems has Document_Number, Line_Number. Line_Number should contain the row number 1,2,3,4 ... etc. for each row in a document.
Should I ...
<ol><li>Add a sequence and a trigger in the database? The FusionOrderDemo does this, but then the sequence never "resets" and I've got row numbers that keep incrementing. So one document has rows 4,5,6 and the next document has 7,8,9 when they should both have 1,2,3.</li>
<li>Programmatically take care of the row numbers? This seems like I'm asking for trouble. Anytime an insert or delete operation gets done, I'll have to iterate through rows and re-assign row numbers.</li>
<li>Is there a way to assign row numbers in a table iterator (or data collection?) to an entity?</li></ol>
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's looking like #2 is my only option, but if anyone knows different I'd love the input.
Will

Thank you both guys.
As John said, I believe I'm looking for a gap-free sequence per master record.
The line number of the OrderItems table is the second half of the primary key. The first half of the primary key (DocumentNumber) is the foreign key to the Orders table.
Think of it like line items on an order or invoice. For example, if you were talking to someone on the phone concerning an invoice, you might say, "The pricing for line item #3 is incorrect." In this case, it's good to have a common reference. Or imagine a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with no row numbers displayed! You'd never get anywhere if you had to explain something over the phone.
If this is tricky to perform, I take it using a sequence and trigger such as the Fusion Order Demo is the best way to approach the challenge for simplicity's sake?

What is the proper way to close all open sessions of a NI PXI-4110 for a given Device alias?

I've found that, when programming the NI PXI-4110 that, if a the VI "niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI" (NI-DCPower pallette) is called with a device
alias that all ready has one or more sessions open (due to an abort or other programming error) a device reference results from the reference out that has a (*) where "*" is post-fixed to the device reference where and is an integer starting that increments with each initialize call. In my clean up, I would like to close all open sessions. For example, let's said the device alias is "NIPower_1" in NI Max, and there are 5 open sessions; NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4). A simple initialize or reset (using niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, or, niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, etc.) What is the proper way to close all open sessions?
Thanks in advance. Been struggleing with this for days!

When you Initialize a session to a device that already has a session open, NI-DCPower closes the previous session and returns a new one. You can verify this very easily: try to use the first session after the second session was opened.
Unfortunately, there is a small leak and that is what you encountered: the previous session remains registered with LabVIEW, since we unregister inside the Close VI and this was never called. So the name of the session still shows in the control like you noted: NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4), etc.
There may be a way to iterate over the registered sessions, but I couldn't find it. However, you can unregister them by calling "IVI Delete Session". Look for it inside "niDCPower Close.vi". If you don't have the list of open sessions, but you have the device name, then you can just append (1), (2) and so forth and call "IVI Delete Session" in a loop. There's no problem calling it on sessions that were never added.
However - I consider all this a hack. What you should do is write code that does not leak sessions. Anything you open, you should close. If you find yourself in a situation where there are a lot of leaked sessions during development, relaunching LabVIEW will clear it out. If relaunching LabVIEW is too much of an annoyance, then write a VI that does what I described above and run it when needed. You can even make it "smarter" by getting the names of all the NI-DCPower devices in your system using the System Configuration or niModInst APIs.
Hope this helps.

What is the proper way to create a monotone image with real looking contrast?

Once I apply a color to my previously created black and white image everything looks washed out.
I have an artwork with 3D representation of the letterforms, casting shadows on the textured surface. Shadows are deep black. I need this artwork to be colored in gold. My client forwarded me the specs for the metallic gold which he got from the PANTONE. They are:Gold (871); Adobe 1998 RGB: 126-113-76
HSB*: 44 degrees-40%-50%
What is the proper way of applying those values to the desired image.
My idea was to make the image black and white and than create a monotone image with the above specs. In this case the image gets washed out as the darkest black in the shadows becomes this Pantone gold. Is there any other way?

A duotone will work, however you are going to want to work closely with your printer . Most printers will want the second color in CMYK (Possibly C60 M40 Y0 K100 instead of RGB values or specify a Pantone Rich Black (I personally like 6C)but it will cost you more for the wash up of both heads of the printer...
Go to Image>Mode>Duotone (image must be greyscale first for this to work) then add the desired colors to your ink scales.

What is the proper way to include search terms in your page

Say you have a web page that is about a certain topic and has information displayed on the page. What is the proper way to include terms that you would like this page to show up on a search for but don't necessarily want to display on the page?
I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.

I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! This practice will get your site banned or blacklisted from Search Engines. It is considered a Black Hat tactic to attempt to mislead search engine results in an effort to drive traffic to your site.
Instead, use plenty of keyword rich, relevant text and good semantic mark-up (h1, h2, h3) inside the body of your pages. In time, search engines will find you.

What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?

(this has already been posted in the Scripting forum. Due to the lack of response, I am coming here to the Land of C/C++ Developers)
What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?
My question refers to the forms in which there is a binary question such as:
"Are you interested in travel?"
When the user clicks "Yes", there are further questions whose interactive fields are dot.hidden (or "!"), depending on the answer.
So far, I can handle the 1-level cases fine, but my doubt is how to implement nested dependencies. For the sake of simplicity, I would prefer to define the cause-effect relationship once ("Every time the 'Interested in Travel' box is checked, the field 'International or Domestic' should be visible") and send some sort of message/trigger downstream.
I would like the right things to happen (cascading triggers included) when the "Clear Form" menu command is selected.
Are those desirable features available in JavaScript (the particular JS used by the traditional AcroForms)?
Maybe I should look into C/C++ programming?
TIA,
-Ramon

I guess my problem is that I have some basic college experience in digital circuit design, and would like the forms to be programmed and behave in the same fashion as digital logic.
The "Clear Form" menu item, of course, would be equivalent to the reset button.
Perhaps it is possible to hook my code onto the "Clear Form" menu item?

What is the Proper Way to place a Background Image inside a Div?

I have been searching Google and the Adobe forums for awhile now, and while there are very valid solutions to similar problems I found that none of them fixed the problem that I am facing. I blame myself and getting lost in this sloppy coding of mine, so part of my plan was to start my style sheet over from scratch.
My question, what is the proper way to add a background image into a div? I currently have the top div following the "header" css style, here is what I have typed into that sections:
<style type="text/css">
@import url("../twoColLiqLtHdr.css");
.header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 300px;
    background-image: url(Assets/HeaderTemplate.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
The problem here is that the background image isn't even appearing. I would greatly appreciate any help, could anyone inform me on the proper way to doing this so that I can implement images in divs in the future without turning my coding in a down right mess?
Thank you in advance.

I apologize, I'm unable to post a link to the page just yet. This is a snip of coding for a website still in the making for the company I work for.
Would any of the coding below help?:
</script>
<style type="text/css">

<link href="../twoColLiqLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<header class="twoColLiqLtHdr">
