Yet another LE 8/LP 8 comparison questions
Good morning !
When I learned about Logic 8 this morning, I've browsed all the posts in this forum to learn about what differs between LE 8 and Logic Studio, to see which one best suits my needs. I still didn't see a clear answer to my interrogation, even though some topics were marked as "solved".
Here's what I found so far that comes only with Studio :
- Surround sound, distributed audio, high-end control surface support and TDM support.
- All the Jam packs.
- All the printed manuals.
So here are my questions:
- It says on the product page that Express got new Pro instruments like Ultrabeat, but what about the Vintage instruments (EVP88, EVB3 and EVD6) ? It seems only Studio got them, am I right ?
- I'm also guessing that Express doesn't get Mainstage ?
- Express now comes with the complete EXS sampler, but does it gets the "Studio Sound Library" with it's 1300 EXS instruments or just a few presets ?
My main motivation to go "Studio" is the sounds. I don't care about surround sound creations of complex stuff like that. People are stating that Studio got the jampacks so that alone is worth getting the Studio package, but IMO, all the studio instruments and the sound library are worth even more than the jampacks, and would be the real deal-breaker for me if they were only available in Studio.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for your input !
You are right about the Vintage Instruments, they're Studio-only. Main Stage is Studio-only as well. I don't think Express comes with the whole EXS Library but I'm not sure. As far as the JamPacks, remember those include not only loops but new presets and EXS instruments as well. And talking about sounds, Express won't give you Sculpture which is a **** of a synth.

Yet another "MacBook Air vs. Pro" question, now with specifics!
I'm upgrading from an older Mac Mini 2GB purchased in '08. I've looked at some recent comparicson threads here, but help me clarify my thinking for my specific situation...
I'm strongly considering the 13" MacBook Air. Aside from Web surfing and email, the most demanding regular use I foresee is photo editing in Aperture and maybe Adobe Lightroom. I'm not a pro, just a fairly avid amateur. I use iWork for home word processing, editing a club newsletter, etc. For photo editing I have a new non-Apple 24" monitor with DVI input. Hence, I probably will not need the sexy Retina display, tempting as it is.
Beyond that, I may download and demo industry specific software, both Windows and Mac versions, to practice and learn for my job. Adobe Captivate is on my list right now. I see in another thread that dual booting Windows in BootCamp is doable and works well.
I'll also occasionally use the Adobe CS suite (CS4 for now) for web design - no application development.
I also like to keep my computers as long as possible to amortize the cost. 4 years for my old Mini is actually pretty short. I had my old G3 tower for nearly 10 years! So I wonder if the limited upgradeability of the Air would be much an issue.Your last sentence probably makes the MBA unsuitable for your consideration because the RAM is not upgradeable and the SSD uses a proprietary connector which limits your choices should you want to upgrade it (and increases the cost). The MBP offers the same portability with better graphics performance (it has a discrete video card rather than Intel integrated video), and its RAM and drive can be upgraded.
I have an early 2009 MBA which I've upgraded to 8GB and added an SSD to. Except for when I'm traveling, it is my professional workhorse and I can easily believe I'll get at least another 2 years of use from it. Because the MBA cannot be upgraded like the MBP can, I'm completely unwilling to estimate how long I might keep one. OTOH, I tend to resell my notebooks after 2 years and get a very good resale value from them. -
Yet another iCloud with multiple Apple IDs question
I have a Mac, iPhone 3G, and an iPad 2. My wife has an iPod. I have historically synced via the desktop, and my music, calendar, contacts, etc. have shared just fine. I have a Mobile Me account which may or may not be doing anything for me. I understand it's going away anyhow.
Two of my devices share the same Apple ID, and one has a different ID. I don't know what my wife's iPod has for an Apple ID. One of the Apple IDs is a @me.com address.
I have set things up for iCloud, trying to have my calendar, photos, etc. come alive at once like they do in the commercials. After hours reading others' frustrations on here, I still am unsure how to proceed.
I can't change my @me.com AppleID because that is apparently against the rules. I can't add my other email address as a secondary address, because I am informed that that address is already verified as being in use (of course it is, by me). It won't let me change my other Apple ID to an @me.com address because that is also apparently against the rules.
Is there ANY solution that let's me keep syncing my music, plus let's me sync my calendar, contacts, photos, etc. in the Cloud? I don't want to lose any of my current information.Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think it helps me.
My Mac and iphone have the same Apple ID. I innocently created a different AppleID when I bought my iPad. ([email protected]). I want them to sync automatically. They don't because they have different "clouds."
I don't want to have to log in to sync everything. If that were the case, I would just go on syncing every night via the Mac. Is there a way to get to where my iPad syncs with the other two?
Am I missing something simple here? -
Yet another IAS + 802.1x dynamic vlan question
hello all
For the last 18 months or so there's been a steady stream of folks trying to get dynamic assignment of a vlan to a user/group using Microsofts IAS Radius.
Having searched thru the Netpro archives, I've never found a definitive explaination of how this is done.
Sure, its almost common knowledge by now that the three attributes 64(Tunnel-Type=vlan), 65(Tunnel-Medium=802) and 81(Tunnel-Private-Group-ID=vlan name) need to be configured on the Radius Server.
Recently I discovered that IAS on windows 2003 even includes the Radius "tunnel-tag" attribute, so even that can be included now(as =1).
Still, having done this, and seeing a "debug radius" on a 2950 switch (with newest code) show the the tunnel-tag starts with "01" --- i STIll can't get this darn thing to work.
Yes, it works for static 802.1x(no vlan assignment) against a XP sp2 client .
Yes, I included the "aaa authorization network default group radius" statement.
If I configure a vlan 5 named "Sales" --- nothing works. Not when I configure attribute 81=Sales in IAS, not when I configure "5" in IAS. Heck, I even used hex values--- till I got
" Attribute 81 6 01000005 " in the debug,
all sorts of permutations.
Please Cisco, somebody --- help us out here.
The fact of the matter is, though ACS is probably the best way to go(it does NAC & FAST), alot of clients say "hey - I've got a perfectly good Radius Server for FREE in Windows".
Can anybody shed some light on this!Here is working IAS settings and switch config:
Ignore-User-Dialin-Properties 4101 True
Framed-Protocol 7 PPP
Service-Type 6 Framed
Tunnel-Medium-Type 65 802
Tunnel-Pvt-Group-ID 81 102
Tunnel-Type 64 VLAN
Tunnel-Tag 4170 1
*Note that I have VLAN#, not VLAN name on attribute 81

Yet another, tho slightly different tv out question
Hey all, good forum.
Got a MSI Ti200 ((MS8851) and want to use the tv out. It has the 4 pin SVHS output, going into a SVHS to RCA cable, then into scart socket.
Only problem is, whenever I try to select tv out on the display settings, the computer hard locks. (driver 45.something) I have to check the box in case the tv is not detected to be able to select tv out at all.
On earlier driver versions it does not detect the tv at all.
If I boot up with just the tv connected, the pre windows DOS display is fine on the TV, and is fine in windows ONLY IN SAFE MODE. If I install any drivers, as it boots into windows the display turns to trash. So it seems to me must be a software problem.
Things I have tried:
- TV on and on correct input before turning computer on
- fresh installs of both win98 and XP with only display drivers installed.
- made sure is set to 640*480 at minimum refresh, no progs to force refresh like Powerstrip etc
- made sure set to PAL-I (UK) - my TV (both of them) are fine with this as it works great with my -cough- ATI card.
- tried driver versions 30.82 thro to latest 52.something on both 98 and XP
Thanks a lot for any help
Jon
- tried all scart inputs on my video and TV.I'm inclined to agree it's the cable. If it was just having issues with your device, that could mean a setting on your iPad was incorrect. But if multiple devices have issues, it's time to try a new cable.

Yet another grey folder thread, help!
Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Display hints, custom format method in VO, is there yet another way?
Did you experience the same and had a solution?
Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and looking for yet another way of customizing the display of an attribute of a view object.
I have two tables: BILL and AWARDS, with composite foreign key relationship (on the LDAP_UID and TERM fields) between them, as illustrated below.
The BILL table:
NAME LDAP_UID TERM CREDIT_HRS
Tom Smith tom.simth 200902 12.5
Jane Lopez jane.lopez 200906 4.0
The AWARD table:
LDAP_UID TERM SOURCE APPLIED
tom.smith 200902 Perkins 2000.00
tom.smith 200906 Direct 1300.00
jane.lopez 200906 CN 500.00 At the business data model level, this is master(Bill)/detail(Awards) relationship. Bill is dragged from the data control palette to the page and displayed as a form, and Awards is dragged to the page as a table. When tom.smith logs in and chooses the 200902 TERM, the master and detail are joined on tom.smith=tom.smith and 200902=200902, so the $2,000.00 of Perkins loan is retrieved for him:
Name Tom Smith
Term 200902
Source Applied
Perkins $2,000.00That works fine but not user friendly: the values in the TERMS column are a bit cryptic and need to be displayed in plain English, i.e., 200902 should be displayed as "Spring 2009" and 200906 as "Summer 2009". The display hints in the VO can not handle this. The only other way I know is writing a method in the Row class of the VO to do the translation. And this is the result:
Name Tom Smith
Term Spring 2009
Source Applied
No rows yet Obviously, "Spring 2009" is used not only for display, but also for joining the master and detail tables. Of course "Spring 2009"!=200902, therefore no detail is retrieved for the user.
Question is: is there yet another way to customize the display, that does not affect the join of master and detail tables?
Many thanks for your help!
NewmanHi, Chris,
That works!
I found the chapter where transient attribute is explained and an example is given creating a transient attribute in the entity object. It turned out that transient attribute works both in entity object and view object. I did it in the VO and it solves my problem.
I spent hours of time before posting that question, trying two different ways but neither worked. Your one sentence saved me a lot of time. I do appreciate you help very much!
Truly,
Newman -
Yet another case of new type[array] and parametrized type
I suppose this is an often asked question, to which I seem not to be able to find a simple answer. I know of the "incompatibility" of arrays and generics, and yet in such a seemingly simple case I run into a mystery, or a compiler bug. Look at this warning:
Set<Integer> C[];
foo/bar/some.java:1148: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
found : java.util.HashSet[]
required: java.util.Set<java.lang.Integer>[]
C=new HashSet[H-L+1];So far so good, but precisely this *"Set<type>[]"* does not exists, does it? When I try to add a parametrized type to this new statement, compiler says:
Set<Integer> C[];
foo/bar/some.java:1148: generic array creation
C=new HashSet<Integer>[H-L+1];
^
1 errorIn a regular case we can easy deal with the "unchecked" warnings, e.g. Effective Java 2nd Ed, Item 24 discusses this, but all this seem to be ignoring this case. When generic array creation is not permitted, than why this warning stating that *"java.type<typeparam>[] required"* appear, and how to resolve this for safety and correctness? Of course, I can still ignore the warning and do a few instanceof checks and casts, like before, but I am really curious how to transfer this into the new paradigm.
As much generics improve and help in many cases, I regret their arcane complexity. To paraphrase C.A.R. Hoare, the Java language itself becomes now the problem, not its solution.
ThomasI wonder if we have someplace recent measure just an array stack against a current implementation of a set in Java? In JDK1.4 I remember array was several times faster, 350% faster if my memory serves me, and I do have the classic "inner loop" operation, very repetitive. I can live with the warning, what's the problem?
Of course all this are considerations fully aside of the issue at hand, that the JDK1.6 compiler prints a nonsense warning message that a parametrized array is expected, what is in fact illegal in current implementation of generics. Which is in my eyes severely faulty, but that would be yet another assault on the Braha Ivory Tower, wouldn't it?

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?

Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .
Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).
Hi Emlou,
If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
Thanks!

Yet another No Service iPhone 4, second hand
Hi all,
Apologies for yet another topic about the No Service issue on the iPhone 4. I bought a secondhand iPhone 4 16GB 2 days ago after having a 3GS 32GB for 18 months with no problems. iPhone 4 was just over a week old when I bought it (warranty date shows when it was first activated), on the O2 UK network like my old one.
All was fine for 2 days, was receiving and making calls and texts etc with no problems. But since late afternoon yesterday the phone has mostly said No Service. It occasionally goes onto O2-UK but with no bars of signal so calls and texts still fail immediately.
I've tried all of the tips I can find online to resolve this, airplane mode on/off, reset network settings, restore from backup, restore as new phone, hard resets. But nothing's working.
I can take out my SIM and put it into my 3GS, in the same location, and get 5 bars of signal, all my texts come through. Then put SIM back into iPhone 4 and straight away, No Service.
I've made a Genius bar appointment for tomorrow afternoon, but I'm wondering what happens regarding the fact that I'm not the person who bought the phone in the first place? Will this be an issue?
Thank you in advance for any advice about this, was so looking forward to having this phone and now, bleh!I spoke to o2, they checked my SIM is activated and said they don't need a record of my IMEI number. Still saying No Service so will have to see what the "Genius" says tomorrow!

Yet another Mac Book Pro (A1211/2.33 GHz) freeze problem
Hi everyone,
I have yet another freeze mystery, if people fancy having a crack at it.
I had this notebook for about 4 and a half years and it served me well until 2 months ago. It is a 15' MBP from December 2008 (A1211) with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM.
Now I constantly get lags or freezes while I am using it.It manifests itself via the beachball and a frozen screen. First, I thought it was the hard drive but I replaced it with a tested new one and I still get the same behaviour. The reason I thought it was the HD is that it seems to freeze often when there was a lot of access to HD or memory. For example, firefox would cause a freeze quite often when it was trying to access the cache or history. I get the same behaviour when trying indexing my music for the genius feature. Often when I close applications, it will halt the system for about 2 minutes.
I think the number of lags also correlates with temperature. I am pretty sure that the notebook's heat diffusion properties has deteriorated strongly over the past year as it seems to be using the fans a lot more extensively. The heatsink seems to get really hot these days as well. So my next step would be checking the thermal paste on the heat sink. Before I am going to do that, I want to consider any remaining options as dismantling the laptop up to the heatsink is a bit of a pain.
My gut feeling would be that it has to do either with the memory or maybe some 'bridge' that transfers the data between HD, GPU, CPU and memory. I am aware that bridge is the wrong word and I am simplifying the architecture of the mainboard too much, but I am sure you get what I mean. The data rate between some of those is inhibited.
The reason why I am saying some is that often the system seems overwhelmed by the amount of commands, just sits there and then resumes executing all of them as it had taken a break. This can be easily seen when streaming video in a web browser. I often get the beach ball and my whole screen freezes, but the movie, or at least the sound, keeps running in the background. After a while it usually resumes and shows the movie at the current playing position. Sometimes it doesn't recover, not even after 30 minutes and I have to switch it off.
I hope I provided enough information for you guys to have a think about this.
Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.Before re-installing the operating system, which might also work, I found this article helpful:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Fix-Spod-How-To-Fix-A-Spinning-Pinwheel -Of-Death.htm
I've followed the directions since they seem to make sense and am waiting for the next Pinwheel of Death. They seem to be saying the same thing you are Chris, but ascribe the problem to 'permissions' which are fixable (gasp) via the OS disc utility. -

You need to have xlsm where you can access the macro in numbers. this is frustrating that the idea of Numbers is to make it like Excel yet you dont have this capability. Question is, when will it happen or will it happen????
Hi brev,
Several points here:
1. Although there is some compatibility between Numbers and Excel files, I doubt very much that "the idea of Numbers is to make it like Excel." The two applications share some similarities, but also have several differences.
2. Your Question is unanswerable in this forum. Apple does not generally reveal future development plans or schedules for its applications, and anyone with knowledge of those plans will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement.
3. "You need to" implies a feature request. If you want to request that a feature be added to a future version of Numbers, that request is better made directly to Apple, via the Feedback channel, than here, where the readers and responders are all users of the software, not developers. From the application menu (the "Numbers" menu in Numbers), choose Provide Numbers Feedback, then make your request for a feature to be added to Numbers.
Meantime, if you absolutely need the macros capabilities of MS Excel, try one of the Office clones—OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice, which may offer macro support, or use the Mac version of Excel itself.
Regards,
Barry
