What size external Compact Flash does the Compact Field Point 2020 support

I am datalogging with the old Compact Field Point 2020. NI says that the largest Compact Flash card that it supplies and knows the unit supports is 512MB. However I would like to know if it would support larger cards, say up to 4GB. Has anyone tried this?
Pete

I assume that you are using a cFP-2020 and are talking about the removable compact flash available on this device.
National Instruments has only tested this with cards up to 512MB, but it is a standard compact flash interface so it should work with larger. Take a look at the following two documents, which explain this and the type of cards used.

What size external hard drive should I purchase

What size external hard drive should I purchase? I'm not tech savvy, so please speak slowly. I'm looking at OWC Mini Stack Classic to match my older Mac Mini. Do I need 500 GB, 1 TB or more? Plus, I have to add memory to upgrade to Snow Leopard. How much memory do I need and should I have an expert install it ?
Mac OSX version 10.5.8
Mac mini 3.1
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
1 Processor
2 Cores
L2 Cache 3MB
Memory 2GB
BUS Speed 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version MM3.1.0081.B06
SMC version 1.35f0
Hard Drive
Format MAC OS Extended
Capacity 297.77 GB
Available 238.69 GB
Used 59.08 GB on disk

Good points raised by all.
In my mini configs - both older and newer flatter model - I have kept their ministack external drive on top of the mini; with 3 or 4 little rubber feet added to the mini's base to give it a bit more elevation from the surface they are sitting on and a bit better chance to breathe. I'm not impressed by the very small air intakes on the bottom and the hot air that often comes out the back or how warm the case feels. Especially in the heat of summer.
I do turn the ministacks on/off as needed (primarily for backups once a week) as they're not entirely quiet and sometimes seem to have a low hum vibration. Nothing crazy. I just like it as dead quiet as possible sometimes. Plus the fan does not turn off even if the mini and ministack drive have shut down. The newer wide & slim model does seem a bit quieter than the older model.
Check through system profiler to see if your system has 2x1GB or 1x2GB. Most likely it is 2x1GB and you'd need to remove both to double your ram. On the off chance it has a free slot; a single 2GB stick would get you to 4GB. Check on the cost difference between the 2x2GB kit and a 2x4GB kit. I have an older core duo mini that functions fine with 2x2GB of RAM and 10.6.8. But, if you plan to continue to use the mini for several more years as a primary machine including upgrading the OS to Yosemite; it might not be a bad idea to just max it to 2x4 8GB. Yosemite really likes RAM to maximize performance.
Along the lines of keeping the same mini and doing upgrades. The biggest speed improvements are made by replacing the original internal hard drive with a flash drive. Of course this is a more technical upgrade, you really need to take the mini apart more and you have to weigh the cost of the upgrades and possibly paying somebody to do them; vs the cost of a newer system which would have a significantly faster processor and other improvements.

What size external hard drive do i need to backup my macbook pro?

I know I need to backup my computer, especially since I have been experiencing some problems with it and will need to take it into a store to get looked at, but I do not know what size external hard drive I need to back my computer on.

Drives are so low in cost today, go for something that will meet your needs for a while...if you are going to use Time Machine, get a drive large enough that you can have a partition double the size of the internal drive for TM backups, and a partition you can use for more storage and work space.
A decent drive like the Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drive OWC sells goes for less than $200 (US) now. Has a fast interface and is easy to setup.

What size external hard drive do i need for Time Machine

What size external hard drive should I get to be my Time Machine backup? My iMac is 1TB. (also, I have MBP that is 250gb and will need one for it as well)
Thank you.

It is better to buy an external drive that has 3 times the storage capacity
as of the computer's internal HD.
Best.

What Size External Drive?

Have 5 Macs and am getting 3 new ones (retiring two of the old PPCs to the kids - can't run Leopard). Will update the 3 Intels with Leopard, and the new ones will come with it installed. I have external backups for the existing computers (my rule of thumb has been get twice the storage, so for example, for the 80 G iBook I have a 160 external). Anyway, is there a "rule of thumb" as to what size external one should have for Time Machine? Since it is constantly backing up I suppose the external size will/could eventually exceed the internal capacity. So, for a 160 G, (or any other size drive) is there a "multiplier" of sorts one should use for the size of the external drive? I'd like to have the externals on hand when I update the existing computers and when I get the new ones and 1st turn them on.
Any insight is most appreciated!

The rule of thumb I have been hearing is >= 1.01 * the total capacity of volumes being backed up. Of course, the bigger the better.
In English, thats an eternal drive that is a tad bit bigger than the drive (or drives) you are backing up.
This way, in a situation where you have completely filled up the volume(s) being backed up, you can be sure that you will at the very least have a complete backup of your entire system in its most recent state. Sure, TM will have erased older backups, but in the event of a catastrophic failure, you will at least be able to restore all your current files.
Of course if you can afford it, get the biggest drive possible.
Re: backups over X months old... there is no current way to do this that I know of, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a hack to TM prefs file soon. Hopefully just a one line "write" in terminal.

What size external hard drive needed for Time Machine?

Can someone offer advice? What size external hard drive do I need to back up my system with Time machine? Hard drive is 232 GB but I'm only using 40 GB of the 232.
Thanks.

beach bum51,
Hard drive space is cheap, so I'm going to recommend that you get something with at least 500 GBs capacity. 500 GBs would be twice the capacity of your internal, which is apparently the "recommended" size, so I have no hesitation recommending it. The larger the drive, the lower the cost per GB.
What's not so cheap is speed. You'll be happiest with a drive capable of using the fastest bus provided by your computer. If your iMac has a Firewire 800 port, you'll get the best experience from using that port, and a drive that will use Firewire 800 transfer speeds.

What size memory card goes into the PowerShot A520?

What size memory card goes into the PowerShot A520 camera?...and where can I get one?

This camera uses SD card. You can buy it from any online or local electronic store. It should not cost more than $7. But don't mistake it with SDHC card. Your camera is not compatible with SDHC card. SD card is limited at 2Gb; so the largest one you can get is 2Gb. Anything larger will be SDHC.

My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name

My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name. Can I restart everything from itunes? I know this sounds cunfunsing, (and it is) but yeah.
Once again to try and clarify, The song(which itunes says is by artist,band,person, etc) is mixed up with another song out of my libary.
If there's something you dont get ask me!!! thanks

I'm experiencing the same issue. Not only do I get a messed up library, but since I've let iTunes handle my music files, they too have been shuffled around - placed in different album folders and sometimes given names of other songs... With quite a large library, the cleanup makes me feel a bit like Sisyfos pushing the rock uphill - it's a never ending story. Only positive side of this is that I get to play a lot of music quizzes while guessing who plays the song that is disguised as eg. Buddy from De La Soul, and then afterwards try to track down the real 'Buddy' as this has also found another folder to hide in...
Shazam has come to the rescue a few times so far...
@Apple: this is just not good enough!

Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format?

Hi Everyone,
Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format, and SDO_GEOR.exportTo method can export what maximum amount of data?
Best Regards,
Lin

Lin, thanks for your suggestion. the gdal-georaster integration is a great one for GIS and professional usages and can do what exportTo can not do even though it was just recently available. note though, all existing georaster functions, including exportTo, are internally built inside the database server from ground up. this enables users to fully leverage the power of enterprise database and grid computing.
thanks

Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format?

Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format as well as SD or just SD?

No, the max resolution for video playback is generally 640x480, as stated in the specs
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
The screen is actually half of that resolution, at 320x240. HD at 720p is 1280x720. HD at 1080p is 1920x1080

Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit

Can you please tell me: does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I cannot seem to find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer. Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello BoPeepLamb,
The OfficeJet 8600 Printer does support ePrint. You can access the printers email address by enabling Web Services from the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like piece of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services you must make sure you have a valid internet connection first.
Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a mobile printing sheet print with a printer code and link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your printers email address.
If you have any other questions feel free to reply to this post and I will try to find an answer for you.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.
