Xi Fi Platinum, in need of wires that connect the drive with the c
Hey I've had a xi fi platinum for more than a year now but only now am I attempting to use spdif optical rather than analog. the only way to do that is to connect the dri've (which previously i didn't have connected) to the card. but i lost the wires that connect the card to the dri've. does anyone know where I can get them, or if it is possible to purchase them from creative? or, is there another way to connect optical to the platinum?
thanks a lot.
I was in the same boat a week ago. Have a look here:

Now a question for all of you digital experts. Is there any particular reason why the S/PDIF connection from the X-Fi to my HT receiver is sounding inferior to the S/PDIF connection from my DVD player? The cable run from the X-Fi output is a bit long (75 ft.), but I didn't think that would matter as it's impossible to distort a digital signal. Is there perhaps a setting in the audio console that is messing up the signal?
Thanks,
Scott

I need a script that copies the filename into the file
I need a script that copies the filename into 4th column of each line in the text doc file.
I have over 2000 different file names each containing 6 columns and ~50-100 rows.
I can do this manually using this script:
awk '{print $1"\t"$2"t\"$3"\t <name> \t"$6}'
But I would like an automation command or script. Is there any command that I can use instead of <name> that will copy the filename into the column?
Thanks
MonicaOops, I forgot the redirect to a file. It's not a good idea to edit files in place. A script could fail and you're left with at least one file ruined. It's better to create new files then delete the old files.
for file in *; do
while read col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6; do
printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" $col1 $col2 $col3 $file $col6
done < $file > n$file
done
You could narrow the files listed such as
for file in *.tsv
and redirect the new files to another directory. Such as
done < $file > /absolute/path/to/directory/$file -
How come my macbook air has so little space. I deleted everything that I don't need and everything that has the most space I'm told NOT to delete. Everything I find is in either KB or very low MB.
Check what is in your SSD/ storage on your macbook Apple Icon > about this mac > more info > STORAGE tab on top
recommend handy useful APPS such as :

Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage. -
When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?
What is the purpose of the double click? If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

The black plastic strip that connects the top portion (screen) to the bottom portion (keyboard) is cracked and getting pretty bad. I brought it in to get fixed, but I was told it is just a costmetic problem. I am worried that soon it will be cracked completely. Is there any way to just replace that portion without replacing the entire screen?
I completely agree. If it does crack all the way through, does it effect the use of the computer though?
I'm just trying to plan ahead. -
I need some (make that lots of) help with buttons
Hi,
I am a new designer and I am working on my first web site for free. It started out as something I was capable of doing but it has now expanded into a site that is challenging for me. Anyway, I am having a lot of confusion with with making flash navigation buttons for the site.
This is what the person wants. In the up state he wants the button label in text only. In the over state he wants the text with a gray line behind it that slowly expands onto the page. In the down state he wants the same thing but have the text color change and the line color to change. This line is also suppose to stay on the page until the user moves the mouse again. Ultimately the line should also stay fully extended for a sub-menu.
This is what I have done. I have been using action script 2 so I can use the behaviors panel. I made two different movie clips, one gray and one white, using shape tweens to slowly expand the lines.
I started out with the lable only and turned it into a button. It showed in the "up" section of the time line and I put a fram in the "hit" section (layer 1).
Next I inserted a new layer (layer 2) and put a keyframe in the over section of the timeline and made a gray box for behind the text and attached my gray movie clip to the end of it. I put layer 1 above layer 2 so that the text would show through. I did basically the same thing for layer 3 in the "down" section
except changed the colors to black and put a keyframe in layer 1 to change the text color.
Now this is what I get when I play the movie in flash. I have a button that the "hand" appears in only one very small section of it below the text. It does not appear when I hover over the text. When I "hit" the line keeps repeating the movie. I know this is a behavior but when I use the behavior panel to put in play and stop it shows the event as none. As for my black line in the down section, it plays so fast that it might as well not be there. How on earth do I stop it and get it to remain on the page? I also should tell you that I know very little about action script just in case that is the direction that I need to go.
ThanksYou'll probably have to spend some time learning how to create buttons and movieclips that do what you want, which is what you are in the thick of at the moment. For the small area you say reacts to the mouse, the Hit frame is used to define the area that you want to be reactive... so if you had a tiny dot in the normal frames, you could add a big dot in the Hit frame to make it easier to get the mouse to work with the button... the Hit frame content does not display.
For the movieclips, you need to add stop(); commands at the end of their timeines if you don't want them to loop.
Another approach you might consider is to create your buttons as movieclips rather than as button symbols. Going this route gives you much more control of how things behave, but does involve some actionscript to make them behave as if they were buttons for the various states. Some people do not use button symbols and will only use movieclip versions of them. -

Need Flash Player that connects 2 FMS2
Hello
I have set up a Flash Media Server 2.04. It is up and
running.
I need a Flash Player like the flowplayer to connect to the
FMS2. I am going to build the player into a php file.
I know many of you are able to write the player by themselve,
but I need a version that is fully tested and working. I am also
willed to pay money.
I found the flowplayer at
http://flowplayer.sourceforge.net/howto.html,
it describes that it is able to handle fms2 but it is not able to
play the movie. Why do i know? I downloaded the the test suite form
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreaming/2006/11/fms_resource_center.html
and tested the fms with taht and it worked out.
Therefore I need a player that works.
Please report me some links or send me a pm to
[email protected]
MarcoFlash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject. -
I need sorting VI that returns the sorted array element's positions in the unsorted array
I need a VI that will very quickly (n log n) sort a 1D array of doubles. This VI should not only output the sorted array, but for each of the sorted array elements, it should also output that sorted array element's position in the unsorted array. So for example if the input array were:
unsorted_array
4.1
2.3
7.0
5.6
10.2
Then the output arrays would be:
sorted_array
2.3
4.1
5.6
7.0
10.2
indices_array
1 (the value 2.3 is located at position 1 in the unsorted_array)
0 (the value 4.1 is located at position 0 in the unsorted_array)
3 (the value 5.6 is located at position 3 in the unsorted_array)
2 (the value 7.0 is located at position 2 in the unsorted_array)
4 (the value 10.2 is located at position 4 in the unsorted_array)
This way I could generate the sorted_array using just the indices_array and the unsorted_array. Has anyone written a nifty piece of code to do this? I did some research on (n log n) sorting algorithms but most of them use recursion which I don't know how to do in LabVIEW. It would also be nice to have an algorithm like this that could sort an array of strings.
cheers,
RichardTry something like the attached example (LabVIEW 7.0). I think it does what you need.
(To understand the code, it is important to know that arrays of clusters are sorted by the first element in the cluster).
Sort array itself sorts also array of strings, so you could just substitute, keeping the rest of the code the same.
Sort array uses a variation of quicksort, so it should have about NlogN complexity.
(If you think you only need the array of indices to later generate the sorted array, it does not make much sense to even do it. To get the indices, you need to sort the array anyway. You should just sort the plain array directly.

I need a printer that will work wirelessly with Lion os
Please help me find an all in one printer that will work wirelessly with the new Lion OS.
I'm on my third printer...
ThanksExactly what did you do when trying to set up the printers? Did you follow the mfr's instructions?
I also have an Epson (Artisan 810) and it works flawlessly - both wired and wirelessly. If I remember correctly, the instructions specifically said in order to set it up wirelessly, I had to connect it via USB first and then unplugged the cable at a specific point (following the instructions). And, the instructions included having to copy the printer's MAC address (a series of numbers and letters) from the printer display panel and enter it at my router's (Netgear) online setup site. -
