What makes Genius tick?

How does Genius select music for playlists? I was rather impressed with the selections, (I have an eclectic collection and it seemed to do a good job of picking songs that go together from various genres), then I picked a song by Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66 and it picked only from that album and 2 other "latin" albums.
Is there a way to get it to use more than one song as the basis for a playlist?

I don't think you can get the Genius to use more than one song. It just looks at other users' libraries on the basis of the one song you select, and the looks at your library to see the commonalities. If you have an 'atypical' song, or have a collection that has very limited overlap with the collections of the users who have the song you select, your Genius playlist may be limited.
It would be nice, though, if you could also perform a Genius action based on a whole album or a collection of songs, I agree. But this may demand too much processing effort. After all, we want our Genius results quickly.

How do you get an Ipod Classic to make Genius mixes using the songs you want?

My Ipod Classic is now about four years old. it's the grey, 160gb model. the hard drive doesn't click, so it's in stable, working condition, as far as I can tell, but lately, I've been having a few problems with it. first and foremost, it's stubbornly refusing to make Genius Playlists for me, using the songs I want. Secondly, it's not playing some songs. now, the second issue isn't new, and I've fixed it before, but that brings me to my third issue.
when opening Klondikes (because that's the only game I play on my ipod out of the three that come with it) the other day, it gave me an error message stating "game cannot be opened because ipod is full" or something like that. I have 160 gigabytes of storage, and all I have on there is music.
anyway, back to the Genius problem.
So I'll tell the Ipod to make a new Genius Mix from a selected song. in this case, I'll use Alestorm's "Keelhauled" for example. I made an edit of the song, decreasing the tempo, and drawing out the length of the song to 4:20. every single time, the ipod will use that instead of the original.
Say I use "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran (from The Hobbit, of course). the ipod uses the Kygo Remix I have.
Say I use "One Eight Zero" by Grendel. it uses the remix.
Say I use "The Sunk'n Norwegian", by Alestorm. the Ipod uses the Acoustic version.
Say I use "7 Days to the wolves", by Nightwish. it actually uses that song, and not the Instrumental version.
for "Whispers In The Dark", by Skillet, it doesn't use it, or the Instrumental version cause it can't find a match. (not a problem, just extraneous information.)
Say I use "We Can Make The World Stop" by The Glitch Mob. it uses a piano cover.
the trend I'm noticing here is that it only applies to songs with remixes. but as I have 1408 songs on my ipod, and need to be at work in an hour, I'm not going to look through everything to find every single instance of this.
the ID3 tags for these songs are correct.
Now, this is likely just a tagging issue, but the software should treat them as different songs. after all, most of them are stored in completely different blocks of memory. most of these are even different genres than the originals. and in the case of Keelhauled, because I exported the remix from Garageband, I'm listed as the Artist.
can someone please explain to me what's going on with my ipod, or give me some insight into what's going on under the hood?

A "classic" iPod is really a hard drive with a media player tacked on. Like any hard drive (including your computer's), it can develop data corruption. For example, maybe you mistakenly or accidentally disconnected it from the computer while it was syncing. Or you dropped it, while the iPod was trying to access its drive for song data. Or the hard drive can be getting worn out and unreliable.
The Restore will not fix the problem if the hard drive is becoming faulty. But if the data corruption was caused by something else, the Restore should fix it by erasing the hard drive to give it a "fresh start," like reformatting your computer's drive and reinstalling the OS.

What makes a field eligible for selecting data in a subreport?

Hello,
I have posted the following question to [StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4366702/what-makes-a-field-eligible-for-selecting-data-in-a-subreport], but it has so far generated no replies. I decided to cross-post it here to see if I could get a better result.
The TL;DR of it is that I have a field which I should be able to link in my Subreport, but it does not appear, and I was wondering what I need to do to make it appear.
I have a Crystal Report I'm trying to recreate from scratch after an update from VS2008 to VS2010 caused it to implode horribly.
I've gotten most of the way through, but I'm at a stage where I'm linking a field in the Main Report to a corresponding field in the Subreport.
I have set up a bunch of Database fields in the Subreport, I've added the table I want, TableA, I've linked it up as everything was linked in the original report, with TableA at the head of the linking chain, so that all the rows I want can be derived from the result of that first query ( Actually, all of the links from the original Report were red in the Database Fields linking dialog, whereas mine are a bit rainbow-y. All the links in TableA are red, though... _ )
In the "Subreport Links" dialog, I have an integer which I know is being pulled from the database correctly. I've added it in the "Fields to link to" listbox, and selected the newly-created parameter in the "Subreport parameter to use" combobox. I've ticked the "Select data in subreport based on field" checkbox.
The database field I want to link to then does not appear in the second combobox.
Another integer field in TableA shows up fine in the "Select data..." combobox (and is linked to another field being passed in), so I don't know why these two integer fields, which are equally important, and exist on the same level, on the same table, are being treated differently by the report designed.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here is what I'd do:
1) Download CR 2008 eval designer from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
2) Try the linking in CR 2008 designer
3) If it does not work there, ask why not in the [CR design|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio; forum.
4) If you get the linking working in the CR 200 designer, try to run the report in your VS2010 app (after ensuring the report woks as expected in CR 2008).
5) If (4) above works out for you, please let me know as this may be an issue with CRVS2010.

Can I make Genius ignore certain songs in my l

Is there a way to make Genius ignore certain songs when creating playlists? For example, if I create a playlist based on "Adult Alternative" music, Genius will frequently select some of my off-beat Christmas music.

I'm not sure that playlists take up much space on an iPod, so what about a duplicate of the playlist in question without the songs you don't want?

What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?

What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?
I am considering getting a laptop of one of the 2.
I think Macbook pro is what i want as just a secondary computer, need a laptop that performs same as my desktop IMac
What are really the differences between the Pro and Air?
What Pro is best?
Anyone have problems? and am i best with paying for a brand new computer vs refurb?
thanks

It really depends what you use it for.
I'm in my senior years in high school and I just bought my macbook pro (15 in - $1799 w/out tax). I'm willing to spend the extra money as I am planning to use it to continue my education in post secondary school. I think that the MBP is great for work, designing and for professionals. The MBA is great for portability and chicness. The graphics on the MBP is beyond my expectations and it's great. Its great for many things.
It all comes to this. Are you willing to spend the extra money on a MBP. What will you be using your computer for? WIll you be using it for a very long time? Are you going to be careful with it? I heard that the MBA is flimsy and can easily break.
I also recommend you ask a person at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and they will be glad to assist you. I researched for a solid half of a year before i made a decision and bought my macbook pro.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone make genius playlist from 2011 songs?

I have tried to create genius playlists from very popular songs this year including "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO & "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People. I doubt that Apple Genius Servers do not have information to create genius playlists to these songs which these and other songs have sold over 4 million songs on iTunes alone.
Please if there is someone can shed light on this issue and a way to correct that would be great. Being that New Year's eve is coming up, it would be great to make genius playlists from current released songs especially #1s from 2011.
Thank you!

Never mind. I figured out that you have to hit "enter" after you type in what you are looking for and then the results will show up in the iTunes window.

What makes my iphone 3gs shuts off?

What makes my iphone3gs shuts off? Do I need a new battery? Is it related to the IOS?

My 23 month old iPhone 3GS would shut off randomly and then show no battery. Sometimes I could turn it back on and the battery would be about 50%. So I'd plug it in and within minutes it would back up to 100%. Then a few minutes later, it was off again. This happened on 3G, wifi, phone call, Safari, games, with all the bells and whistles turned off, etc. I spent weeks researching the web and found one post about replacing the battery. I just wanted my iPhone to last until the 5 came out. Since the genius bar fix (back up, synch, restore, etc.) didn't work, I gave this a try. ifixit.com sells OEM batteries and a replacement kit for about $30. The directions were very complete (except connector 5 was a little more difficult than I was expecting). I was very nervous about doing this but figured the phone was useless to me anyway, so why not. Amazingly, when I got it put back together, everything worked and the phone functioned just like it did when it was new. This was about 3 months ago and everything is still working. And I haven't had to turn off all the features I got the phone for, either. There are other companies that sell these kits but ifixit.com has a great reputation.
If you do this, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT BATTERY. You cannot use any other battery other than the OEM one. And don't be discouraged if it doesn't work. There was a bad batch of batteries a few months ago. ifixit.com will immediately replace whatever they sent you.
Lately I've been reading posts complaining that this only started happening after one of the 4.x upgrades. I found a few answers about one of those upgrades not being compatible with the original battery. So if your 2 year old iPhone 3GS is shutting off randomly and the battery meter is funky, or this just started happening, try replacing the battery.

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook

Question: What makes of projectors can be connected to MacBook, also what kind of cable do I need?

Hi,
Modbus is restricted to addressing 247 devices on one data link, which limits the number of field devices that may be connected to a master station.
However, if you want to increase the number of slaves, you may use MODBUS/TCP.
Here is a link that might help you:
http://modbus.control.com/thread/1026247380.
The Schneider electric 174CEV30010 Modbus to Ethernet bridge is capable of addressing Modbus slaves from 1 to 247.
The actual number of devices which can be physically connected depends on the medium used and not on the fact it is Modbus.
Some examples:
RS232 is a 2 device point to point connection when using copper, however when using fiber (or other modems) it is possible to connect up to the maximum of 247 devices.
RS485 is multi-drop and supports 32 devices on a single network. When a repeater is used, on copper wire, the number of devices can usually be increased to 64.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps when you first connected the drive you were asked if you wanted this to be used for TM. If you clicked yes it remembers that.

What makes the separation in VL10X ?

Hi !
It would be big help if you could help me with stock transfer document
(sorry, I don't know how to say in English)
made by ME21N.
I made 2 stock transfer documents by ME21N ,and tried to make delivery document by VL10X,
with the idea that I could make 1 delivery document.
(as 2 stock transfer documents has the same delivery point, plant as Vendor, etc.)
But there are 3 delivery document generated by VL10X.
I wonder what makes this separation !?
thanks in advance.

Dear wazukanahikari,
This delivery split would have happened because of different warehouse number. Warehouse number is assigned to the combination of Plant and Storage Location. Therefore, even if plant is same, there could be delivery split based on warehouse number.
So kindly check if warehouse number is same or different. The setting for the same can be checked using OVLP i.e. delivery item category
Kindly let me know if you get different solution
regards,

Hi Sathis,
Same proble i was faced recently.
The problem was occured because of error opening an RFC connection.
you can see by yourself in the following way.
Goto SM 59.
Select your appropriate RFC destionation say if destination is assigned 'TCP/IP connection' or 'R/3 Connection', under that select ur destination and press 'TEST <b>CONNECTION'</b> if shows green mark there is no error in connection or it indicates with red there is error in RFC destination connection.
Suppose if error is occured there is no basic communication setting done between these cleints, if it is case you would be go and talk to BASIS guy and he will make provides destination.
if any furthore doubts feel free to mail me to [email protected] or reach me 09886869625

What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library

Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer
