Working with strings and cell references

Hi all,
I'm a fairly new user to the Mac world but I'm a power user of Excel trying to moving into the number environment. I'm currently experiencing some very inconsistent behaviour working with text strings in Numbers.
I've used both '&' and CONCATENATE to try to concatenate strings and cell references and regualarly I'm getting the situation where the formula initially works and then when I save and reopen the file the cells containing the error return a syntax error.
Upon examining the formula it appears that the cell references are converted from cell references to simple text so & (b2) & becomes &b2&.
Any ideas what is causing this?

I apoligise for this tardy response. Firstly, the issue occurred not when I first create the formula but when I save, close and reopen the document.
Upon examining the formula, the cell reference is not being recognised and so instead of A2 referencing a cell it's simple A2 which causes an error.
And this is happening in more than one cell (whole rows of cells actually as I've often created a formula and copied it down 10 or 200 rows).
It is also happening on more than one file Badunit so I don't think it's a corrupt file.
It's more than a little annoying though as it means every few days when I go back in to a file I need to spend a few minutes recreating the formulas.
Any other suggestions?
Oh and I've tried both methods of formula creation of typing the reference and clicking, but the result is the same.

NXT Flatten to String Not Working with Clusters and Arrays

Hello,
My name is Joshua and I am from the FIRST Tech Challenge Team 4318, Green Machine. We are trying to write a program that will write to a configuration file and read it back. The idea is that we will be able to write to a config file from our computer that will be read by our autonomous program when it runs. This will define what the autonomous program does.
The easiest way to do this seems to be flattening a data structure to a string, saving it to a file, and then reading back and unflattening it. The issue is that the flatten to string and unflatten from string VIs don't seem to work with arrays and clusters on the NXT. It does work when running on the computer. We've tried arrays, clusters, clusters in arrays and arrays in clusters, none seem to work. Thinking it was something to do with reading the string from a file, we tried bypassing the file functionality, still not working. It does work with basic data types though, such as strings and numbers.
No error is thrown from what we can tell. All you get is a blank data structure out of the unflatten VI.
The program attached is a test program I've been working on to get this functionality to work. It will display the hex content of what is going into the file, coming out of the file, and then the resulting data from the unflatten string, as well as any errors that have been thrown. The data type we are using simulates what we would like to store. There is also a file length in and out counter. The out file is a little larger because the NXT write file VI adds a new line character on to the end (thus the use of the strip white space VI). This character was corrupting even basic data types saved to file.
I would like to know if there is a problem with what we are doing, or if it is simply not possible to flatten arrays on the NXT. Please ask if you have any questions about the code. Thank you in advanced!
Joshua

Hi jfireball,
This is a very interesting situation. Take a look at what kbbersch said. I also urge you to post in the FTC Forums. You posted your question to the general LabVIEW forums, but by posting to the FTC Forums, you will have access to others that are using the NXT hardware.

Use listbox to work with strings

Hello guys,
I am struggling looking for a way to work with strings using a listbox. I think the problem is quite simple, but I don´t know how to implement it using labview.
I have an array of N elements (N is different everytime I run the program), and each element is a string (actually each element is a command). I would like load this array, and then if I select an element (by double-clicking or something similar), I would like to get a translation of the command.
In fact, I only need a way of loading the array, selecting an element, and then put it into a variable that would be translated with a SubVI that I have already implemented.
Do you have any clue of doing this? I have tried with the multicolumn listbox, but I cannot connect any array of strings to it, and I am starting to have a lack of new ideas...
Many thanks for your help

Maybe this helps you:

FaceTime no longer working with Yosemite and IOS 8.1

I have used FaceTime flawlessly for some time with no issue.
After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBookAir and IOS8.1 on 5S and iPad air, I've had a problem connecting.
When I get a call, all the devices ring (as they should) but it will not connect on the first device I pick up on. It says connecting
but all the other devices keep ringing and finally it says I have a missed call. The connection does not happen. If I turn off
all devices except one, it will work...... do we have a bug here??

Thank you for responding to my issue. I spent the better part of two hours trying to get this to work. Bluetooth is enabled on all devices. Each computer is set in Preferences/General to allow Handoff. All computers and iPhones are on the same WiFi network. I toggled all of the major settings off and on. Rebooted each of my computers several times. I finally conceded defeat. Then my daughter asked to have a try at it. She worked on the first MBP for about thirty minutes and informed me that she had gotten continuity to work. And indeed, on her MBP late 2012 she is able to use the continuity features in both directions between her computer and her iPhone 6. But it only works with Mail and Safari. I asked how she accomplished this feat. She said she turned off "everything" on her computer and iPhone (WiFi, Bluetooth, "Allow handoff" under Preferences/General) and then rebooted both the iPhone and the computer. She then turned everything back on. This worked for her. So we tried the same thing on my MBP and iPhone 6. Now continuity works partially. Email activity is mirrored on both the MBP and the iPhone regardless of which device initiates the continuity activity. But Safari activity on the computer is mirrored on the iPhone but not in the opposite direction. There is no continuity function for Pages in either direction. The telephone connectivity works fine on all of my devices– 3 MBPs, Mac Pro, iPad Air, 2nd gen iPad and 3rd gen iPad.

Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

Handoff not working with Yosemite and iOS 8

I have three Macbook Pros in my household. Two are mid 2012 models and the other a late 2012 model. Each is supposed to support the handoff feature of Yosemite and ios8. Everything seems to work properly between my daughter's late 2012 MBP and her iPhone 6. But on the other two MBPs in our family the continuity feature does not work on either of them. Receiving and sending calls works fine. But the continuity does not work even though all three MBPs and all three iPhone 6 are on the same wifi network.
I've tried all the suggestions that I could find. Toggling off and on the various settings on the MBPs and the iPhones.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
Ray

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
Any suggestions, please?

Hi,
Download Audio driver from here.

Extract this driver with Winrar.
Open Device manager and expand the Sound, video and game controllers section.
Right click on Either the High Definition Audio Device if you have the generic Microsoft drivers, or the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 if you have older Conexant drivers and choose "Update Driver Software..."
Click Browse my computer for driver software, then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Click "Have Disk..." then Browse to the folder where the drivers were extracted .......\V64 for 64-bit Vista/Win7. Click OK.
Select one of the "Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221" models in the list, there will be multiple identical entries.
Click Next, and you're done.
I'm not sure which one from the list will work for You.
This drivers weren't test. So if You will try them and it will work for You let us now about.

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP

I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
Thanks

Hi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

Cannot print "working with files and folders htm

When I try to print "Working with files-and-folders" from a Google search, it only prints part of it. I have changed my destination folder to no avail. Thank you or any help, Jack Menendez

What's the best method for moving all my nonsystem related stuff over to this new driveIan has provided you with the best solution, SuperDuper.
But if you have a 250 GB external, you really ought to clone your entire system,(only about 3 GB) so you have a backup.
I keep mine with a complete clone of my internal, that way it is easy to boot from the external and run utilities like Disk Utility, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior, etc. on the internal and vice versa.
If you run into a problem with say Preferences and don't know which one is the troublemaker, just trash the whole pref folder and use the good one from the clone. Font problem, same deal. And, if diaster ever strikes, you can just boot up from your external and keep right on working - fix the internal when you have time.
That's my 2 cents anyway
