Yet another syncing question...

Hello. My wife and I have two separate accounts on the same computer, and I have set iCal to sync our calendars via .Mac. I was wondering what settings I should use in each account for syncing. I currently have the sync set to "automatic" in both accounts, but when, for example, I add an item to my calendar, it is not updating in her iCal. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I have the same setup as yourself and have not had any problems syncing iCal. I have the following setting on each account (using the same .mac account)
System Prefernces > Internet & Network > .Mac - go to sync tab and make sure Syncronize with .Mac is checked & that iCal is selected for both accounts. Also check that the frequency is the same (Such as everyday) - it could be a timing difference.
In iCal > preferences > General - make sure that syncronize using .mac is selected at bottom of page (cannot remember if this gets automatically selected by doing the 1st step or not).
Once verified that all settings are correct, I would add an event to your iCal and manually sync with .Mac - switch over to your wifes account and manually sync with .mac - hopefully that does the trick
Good Luck

Yet another photo question -- better to stream or sync?

I plan to purchase an ATV this weekend and need help choosing between the 40 and 160 models. Though I've read dozens of posts, I'm still confused whether streaming or syncing photos will work best for me. My understanding is that I will only need the 40GB if I stream (ignoring other HD uses).
My photo setup: I currently have about 10,000 pix stored on a NAS drive and add to them weekly. My itunes runs on a PC (sorry) and I manage photos with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.(I do not have Photoshop Elements). Network is hardwire 100MB.
My goals:
1. To view my pix on ATV with the least additional workflow relative to my current habit of downloading and managing images in Lightroom (i.e. need to transfer or rename files to view them in ATV, etc.)
2. To have the best possible viewing performance (i.e. no lag, easy to find pix, etc.)
3. Spend as little as possible (i.e. no new software, 40HDD)
How does streaming compare to syncing given my needs?
What size drive?
Thanks in advance for the help. Sorry if the answer is obvious.
Ken

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
In most cases setting up your itunes as a syncing or primary library is a better option, it gives you much more functionality. What you should remember is that even in the role as a primary library you do not need to sync all your content as you have the option with a primary library of syncing or streaming your content.
This doesn't apply to photos though, so if you set itunes up as a primary library you must sync your photos, if you set it up as a secondary library you can only stream them.
Question to ask yourself is how many of the photos will you want on the tv, I have about 14,000 photos but only have about 4,500 on the tv. Many of my photos were taken on digital cameras as far back as 1995 when photo file size was quite small hence I have about 4 GB of photos on the tv.
I sync very little else and 4 of my 5 tv's are 40 GB and the other tv doesn't really have anything different on. You do use a little space for temporary storage of purchases and rentals you make via the tv, but I rarely ever have more than 10 GB of such content at any one time.

IPod Touch (yet another) syncing problem contacts, address book

I have a new 2nd gen Touch 8g. I am trying to sync to my MacBook Pro. Would like to sync all my contacts and calendar info from my old Palm, but that is not my question today. I am unable to sync my Address Book and iCal information to Contacts and Calendar on the Touch. Specifics:
- OS X is 10.5.6
- iTunes is 8.1, recently updated
- iTouch software is 2.2.1, recently updated
- Address Book is 4.1.1
- iCal is 3.0.6
I can "sync" using iTunes. It backs up the Touch. It syncs the music. It doesn't sync the Address Book or Contacts properly.
History:
- At first, I set it to sync the Address Book and Contacts (not Calendar and iCal). It would go through the sync process until "Updating Contacts with..." It would hang there overnight. This happened when there were 200+ contacts in Address Book on the Mac but none on the Touch. I cancelled after overnight hours and found none on the Touch.
- Deleted all Address Book contacts. Now there were none on either Mac or Touch. Still would spin the "Updating Contacts with..." for hours.
- Set iTunes to sync both Address Book and iCal. Added 1 simple contact in Address Book. Added 1 event in iCal. Synced. The sync completed but nothing was transferred between the Mac and the Touch.
- Added 1 contact in Contacts on Touch and 1 event in Calendar on Touch. Synced. Each still had 1 contact, 1 event, but not the same ones.
- Set iTunes to replace the information on the iPod (one time). The sync completed, and erased the contact and calendar event on the Touch, and put the 1 iCal event onto the Touch (yea!) but not the contact from Address Book (boo!).
- Tried multiple more times. I can add a calendar event on the Touch, but it never appears on iCal on the Mac. I can add a contact on the Touch or in Address Book on the Mac, but the two never sync up to show on the other.
Other details:
- I don't use Google Contacts or Calendar
- I don't use MobileMe (or really know what it is yet)
- I did use iSync to try to sync all my Palm info (not successfully), but stopped trying and reset the sync history, just in case.
- I don't use USB hubs, and I do the sync with just the Touch attached via the cable it came with directly into the MacBook Pro.
- I've read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere. I've restarted programs multiple times. I've updated software. I've tried following the advice of all the posts I could, even if they weren't precisely what I was experiencing.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I should try next? I bought this thing to replace my Palm as my PDA, but it won't be any good unless I can sync the darn thing. I've been working on this for almost 3 days straight and am going bug eyed reading all the info on the web. ANY help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I managed to get the sync to work after much shutting down and restarting, of programs and the computer. I cleared the iSync history just in case. I closed programs, etc. Eventually, it just worked and has continued to do so ever since. It is not slow, but rather quick.
All is well.
Now, the conversion from Palm is another story.....

Yet another standby question...

Hi gurus,
Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
db_name YELLOW - primary prod
db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
Thanks as usual,
Maria

well, that's a good question! :)
because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
Thanks for writing to me,
M.

Yet Another Syncing Complaint (when are you going to get it right, Apple?)

I have to say, syncing my phone with itunes is the most miserably frustrating techno-process in my life at the moment.
About to step out for lunch, I thought it'd be nice to grab a new audio book to accompany my sandwich and I to the park. I found a title and had it on my hard drive in under 90 seconds -- an impressively frictionless acquisition.
But then came time to go from computer to phone.
I click sync. Message: "Syncing will remove 30 applications including "Around Me" and others from your phone." Umm, why? Why 30? Why not all? Why any at all? No indication given. Okay, I don't care about the apps -- just the book for now -- so let's ignore the app's. I uncheck the 'Sync Apps' box. Message: "Not syncing your apps will remove all applications and their data from your iPhone." Are you <edited by host> kidding me? Where is the sanity in that? All I want you to do is LEAVE MY APPS ALONE. Instead, my options are lose 30, or lose all of them. Granted, there are probably ways to get them back after losing them, but all I want to do is go to lunch with my new book, not sit here and think long-term syncing strategy.
This is one of many examples of the absurd inflexibility of the iTunes<->iPhone relationship.
Another is the incessant backups that take 20 minutes. All I want to do is put a 200mb audio file on my phone and go to lunch. That should take less time than it took to download the file, not nearly two orders of magnitude more (after downloading the book, it took nearly 45 minutes to get my phone back to a usable state). Not only does the phone get backed up, but I notice that the syncing process includes transferring files that were ALREADY ON THE PHONE back to the phone.
Seriously, Apple? How is it that you can be so good at user experience EVERYWHERE ELSE and <edited by host> so hard at it here?
I'd say get a grip, but I'm not sure that's the message I want to send.
P.S. The fact that I'm this frustrated is obviously an indication of how otherwise invested I am in your products. It is indeed a love-hate relationship.

From the description I would assume you normally connect your iPod at home, but you made the purchase at work managed to connect to a different library that has the same content. Have you recently had to rebuild the library following a crash?
Apple have designed iTunes to associate the iPhone with a single library. When you connect it to a different library iTunes will want to erase all apps and media content (except the built-in apps) and replace them with stuff from the local libray. This happens even if you have the iPhone in manually manage mode and is different from the behaviour of earlier iPod models.
Alternatively you could have used the iTunes app on the iPhone to make your purchase, connecting to local wi-fi if necessary to download larger files. I often do this to acquire podcasts before leaving home/work just in case syncing takes longer than usual for some reason.
Alternatively, if my original guess was correct and you want to be able to update your iPhone from work, home, anywhere else you happen to be, it can be done with a portable clone of your library. See this thread:

Yet Another Workflow Question

Ok I too, like many others here, am new to the Mac (thanks to Apple's I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads that my wife couldn't get enough of). I have done some searching around and I see that there are quite a few iMovie workflow questions out there. I have not quite found what I am looking for however, so I thought I would make my first post tonight. So here it goes...
I have 3 different ways I capture video:
1. Canon Vixia HF10 (HD)
2. Canon Powershot (SD)
3. Blackberry Storm (SD...I know it isn't a good phone)
I record everything to SD cards. I am wanting to know the best way to store my raw video for editing at any time. Do I copy the AVCHD file structure (for the Vixia) and .avi files (for the other non HD) to my hdd, or do I just import into iMovie '09 and let it reside there, or both? I noticed that iMovie had an archival option (which appears to just copy the AVCHD structure to my hdd), which is why I ask. I want to always keep my raw video in case I decide to go back later and create a new video.
After I have the raw video archived, I would like to know the best way to use iMovie. Depending on where I end up storing the raw video, should I keep the imported video in iMovie once I am finished with a project, and then reimport it at a later date if need be? Or, do I leave it in iMovie as events? I guess this all rely depends on the first question...where do I store the raw video for archival purposes...
Finally, when exporting my iMovie project, should I store that in more of a, pardon the Windows reference, "My Videos" folder with a original size, web optimized size, and ipod optimized size? Thus, keeping the actual exported version of the project separate from the raw video?
I hope I have asked the right questions here. I appreciate any and all help I can get!
Ron

Welcome Ron to the  iMovie boards..
very interesting : 'switchers' care sooo much for 'storage strategies' ..
the by Apple intended workflow/concept for iApps is:
any 'photocam' related material (still or movin') comes-in via iPhoto, and is stored in an iP Library (=you can tell iP to create 2/many Libs, if you prefer to organize manually....)
any 'camcorder' related material HAS to be imported by iM - why? because, iM has some internal routines to make such material editable (codecs, thumnails, stuff....). the same material as 'file by Finder' does not import.. in most cases!
storage..
iP stores in its Library (local/internal HDD and/or ext. HDD)
iM stores in Events (local/internal HDD and/or ext. HDD)
to make Projects/Albums accessible to any iApp, you should keep your fingers off that structure.
Erasing Events 'kills' projects.
allthough, once 'shared to media browser' there's a 'copy' of your project WITHIN the project file. (= the socalled Media Browser is no single Folder somewhere hidden in the system)
there's this Spacesaver feature to erase any Event content which is not in use in any project to keep Events lean.
use the Archive feature from within iM to keep things easy and convenient.. if you miss a single file of the SDcard file-structure, the whole card's content is kaputt ..
summary:
• use iApps as intended.
• use iP for cameras, it stores 'raws' (the avi too)
• use iM for camcorders, use Archive to store raws..
• purchase a dozend of HDDs to store your material..

Yet another CENTERing question

Yes, I've looked through tons of the centering questions
already posted here, but couldn't find precisely what I need to do.
Basically, I'd like to have the center section a fixed (or minimum)
width and the two side sections liquid. I know how to do this with
tables, but am learning CSS (have built a couple sites already) and
would like to do this in CSS. There must be a way!
Here's the comp of the layout:
http://www.evfreefullerton.com/pdf/EvFree_index.pdf
I'd like those edges to expand with the browser window and
the center section to remain in the center regardless of window
size, does that make sense?
Help!

Can you please help with yet "another" Sync problem?

I have recently changed from windows xp. I have a new computer with windows 7 and I loaded Itunes 10. There have been nothing but problems with my 5th gen nano since I have changed to my new computer.
I am unable to sync new songs; In the device section, if I click on
MUSIC; I get an error; "are you sure you want to sync music? all existing content on the Ipod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your Itunes library.
It has been frustrating, because I would like to add my playlists and sync automatically and for some reason, I am not able to. Thank you for any light you may be able to shed on this situation; Tawney.

Another Sync Question - Desperate!

I bought a 32 g ipod touch from ebay. My problem is I can't synch ANYTHING. Itunes will recognize the ipod and show me a list of songs and applications that came with the ipod. But it just won't sync anything to it from my PC and itunes. I have tried to sync some pictures (from my PC) and applications that I got from itunes (yes, I am doing it the right way) and it say's it is syncing but when I look for the application or pictures (including podcasts) there is NOTHING there. I have no idea what to do next. I even tried to deauthorize the computer and the authorize it but it still won't work. Can anyone PLEASE help me? All software on my PC (windows vista) and ipod touch are current.

Yes, it will delete what's on the iPod but since you did not purchase them, no worries. You can sync your own stuff onto it.

Yet another Sync Group stuck "Processing"

I wish there was a way to fix this problem myself or to report the issue directly to someone who can reset the process, but the only way I know to fix this problem is to report it on this forum and wait until a MS engineer resets it.
So, here is the information about the sync that is stuck processing. Note that it has been in this state for more than two months! The customer was supposed to be monitoring the data, but just reported the issue to me.

Yet another ramdisk question

What I am trying to achieve is to load the system into ram, then turn off the hard-disk: ( hdparm -Y ). I want to do this in the hope to extend battery time. I want to make it in a way that I can choose between normal and powersave mode during boot up ( grub ). In the powersave mode I would only use the console ( no X ), mostly programming, ircing, nothing memory/cpu intensive. I thought about mounting a usb-pen drive where I can save my work, and during boot, i could resync the work directory with the hdd. I have 2gb of ram, which I think is enough to handle the task. I only need help in how to set up the system to run in ram, the other stuff i can figure out. If anyone have done something similar or you can help me reply. Thanks.

When I raised a question on the www.linuxquestions.org forum about offloading some apps into RAM, one of the moderators suggested that I take a look at how Puppy Linux works. You might want to look into this. Apparently Puppy Linux can load itself entirely into RAM with each session, then copies critical data, including your configuration files, onto your hard drive when you shut down.
You could play around with Puppy Linux to see how it works, and you could probably get some good ideas from the scripts that are used to do all this.

Yet another Score Question

At the risk of overloading the usual kindly suspects with score questions, is there a simple method to easily convert an entire arrangement already done in 4/4 time (with 16ths feel) .. to 8ths over a cut time feel with double the number of bars?
Musicians in rehearsal yesterday said they would find it easier to be reading 8th notes over twice as many bars.

Hallo spirit,
First: merge the regions per track (and count the number of bars of that merged region)
Second: Drag the end of the region until the region has the double lentgh while pressing the option key, confirm the dialog: stretch(shorten/lengthen)
Third: you may change the time signature in the time sig editor.
You're lucky that your track is in straight 4/4, otherwise you would loose your mind with logics handling of tim sig changes (sorry about that comment - please Apple, improve the time sig editor and global track!!)
Cheers Eddie

YET ANOTHER SIMPLE QUESTION

Sorry i couldnt find the answer in the book, mainly because i didnt know where to look,
im writing a if statement and if the a counter is on a multiple of 8 i want to it to do a specail operation.
What is the symbol for a multiple of a number i thought it was & or ? but they dont work, any ideas?
kelvin

Perhaps you have just jumped from the sea of C ..
But it doesn't work this way Java ... the expression to be evaluated has to give a result of boolean (true or false).
Way to help yourself here would be in 2 ways :-
1) Go back to some basics .. do some reading (shudn't take more than
a hour) and would be fairly easy too.
2) In this case, capture the output of C%8 in variable and then check the value of that variable (to be equal to 0) in the 'if' expression.
Hope this helps ...
