Okay, I need some of your expert advice.
Some years ago, when we got our first iPod Classic (which wasn't classic back then, haha), I spent an ENTIRE weekend swapping out and ripping CD's, one every 10 minutes or so. FOR HOURS!!
Well, do to then-space limitations, we ended up parsing some of those songs and deleting them.
I would like to undergo a repeat project, over the course of a few weeks of course, of re-ripping ALL of my CDs to ensure that ALL of our music is in iTunes.
Will iTunes advise me when a CD is being duplicated so I can save the time it takes ripping that one and allow me to move on to the next?
If not, once I've re-ripped my 2 or 300 CDs, is there a simple way to delete the dupicates out of iTunes? What if they are different versions of the same song - exactly but from different sources (different CDs, like Artist X, then Artist X Greatest Hits, or Artist X as part of a soundtrack compilation).
What if they are different versions such as a live version, or an extended version?
Thanks for your experienced input!

Ok, I have a query right now that pulls all the events out of a table. It works great. However, I want to add one condition to the query... my setup is as follows:
1. The first table (events) contains the events and their data. It consists of: eventID, eventTitle, eventDateTime, etc.
2. The second table (events_to_categories) contains: eventID and categoryID. This table just links the events to the categories they belong to. One event can belong to multiple categories (leading to multiple rows in this table with the same eventID).
My original query is as follows:
SELECT YEAR(`eventDateTime`) as `year`, MONTH(`eventDateTime`) as `month`, DAY(`eventDateTime`) as `day`, `eventID`, `eventDateTime`, `eventTitle`, `eventDescRaw` FROM `events` ORDER BY `year`, `month`, `day` ASC
I would like to be able to narrow down my results from all events returned to only events with specific categories (assigned to them in the second table). For example, to pull all events assigned to the category id of 1. Or even multiple categories, such as events that are in category 1 or 2... just not all events. How would I go about doing this? For more background on this, here is the original thread (but I figured it was mostly solved and deemed this a separate question): http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1136892
Thanks in advance! :)

I'll try that. But I assume that will work since my kids computer is getting internet. I can't imagine that both my TC and AE are both screwed up but it appears that my modem is working correctly and all my cables are okay since I can get internet on the kids computer that is directly connected to the ethernet. I guess it is possible that I have had a power surge or something that has fired both WAN ports on the TC and AE at the same time. That would be some really bad luck. I may try calling Apple. I have found others that have this issue all over the net but no fix ever talked about. I'm frustrated and lost. Thanks for helping. I'll let you know what I find out.

I won't offer any advice on size since that's a bit subjective but I will offer some advice on backup. When deciding what size and how many drives to buy spend most of your time thinking about your backup plan. Once you've settled on that then go get the drives.
I recently lost the 500gb drive in my 07 iMac. That's where my Aperture library was. My advice on backup is to keep it simple and redundant. I don't archive SD cards nor save non-keepers. What I did though was let Time Machine backup my Aperture Library (I manage all photos in Aperture) and I kept Aperture vaults on two seperate external hardrives. (So there are 4 drives involved already...5 if you count the one I left at my parents over Christmas as an offsite). Moral of the story. I put a new HD in the iMac (1TB WD Cavier Green) and got back every single bit of data and every photo with no issues. Luckily I had updated the vaults and had not taken any new photos before the HD crash.
BTW, I do the same for family home movies. They are all digital and the thought of loosing them is unfathomable.
Personally I believe a backup strategy is priority one no matter if you are noob or a seasoned pro. Those shots mean something to you and if you loose them they are gone forever.
Right now, I have copied all of my photos and videos to cds and dvds, so I here ya that protecting one's 'family memories' are priority. However, with a vast collection, do photographers burn photos and videos to discs? I think a Blu-Ray player would help since they hold up to 25 GB and 48 GB or so respectfully. Can an individual burn non-HD content to Blu-Ray discs? I should research before I assume!
Also, as of now, I save non-keepers, but I do not have a lot of photos. At least not yet. :D Although, I have deleted photos, but I still have some blurry photos and crappy videos.
Thanks for reiterating the importance of a backup plan!

I made a project in C that was a "command line tool" in XCode. It uses GLUT/OpenGL, so it does have a user interface. It works fine, and I can run it from Terminal, but I was wondering if there was any way to allow it to run from Finder.
I did create a new target (a Cocoa application), and I included the linked frameworks and removed the prefix header and it compiles and runs. However, it won't work from Finder. I think that the problem is that my program relies on a file named "Input" that it assumes is in its directory. I tried using
FILE* data = fopen("../../Input", "r");

I like the new design, though it's very much information indeed. What I really miss is the news preview. I could see before, if it's worth to look at "Page 2", because the newest article was shown. Now, I will have to take a look.
Edit: Oh, I just saw, that I can see it on the left side, so forget about it.

My question is, is it a worthwhile upgrade? or is it just better to leave it with the 2.4ghz and get a better hard drive.
Great question. Unfortunately you don't provide any information that would help us advise you. Since you're asking the question, it probably makes no difference at all.

What program should I use to try to get this to work with windows 7?
I'm also wondering what to put instead of optimum.net if I'm on Time Warner.
What router do you have? Some routers have built in VPN server support. If not, you can try EasyVPN for windows. I found a link here:
http://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/vpn-access.php
To find the Time warner search domain name go to your router's setup page. It should have a summary page and tell you your public IP address and also the search domain. If you can't find it, PM me, I'll help you out.

... I stopped using CDs and DVDs a few years back. Hard drives are just too inexpensive now and it was just too much of a hassle for me to burn sets of photos, store, and keep up with individual discs. With my job I move frequently and it's just another thing to loose. I opted for the simplicity of Time Machine (or similar program) and redundant backups and I'm happy with it. The simplicity and automation really make sure I actually do the backups which is the most important part ;).
I stopped saving non-keepers a few years ago too and it cut down on my workflow a lot. There's nothing wrong with saving everything but I found that I was wasting a lot of time dealing with them and trying to save borderline images. The first thing I do know is go through several culling sessions when I download the camera and cut out everything that's not a "keeper" for me. I delete them and forget them. I find I'm not spending a lot of time on borderline shots and I'm only spending time in post processing on what I thought were the few best shots of the bunch. I do tend to keep more family pictures though because they are more about recording the moment. Hope all this helps.
I can understand how burning a lot of photos would become tedious! Well I learned that backing up one's HDD is just as important as being a good photographer. :) Ironically, I deleted a few photos tonight. They were horrible photos, very blurry and I could not make out what I was taking a picture of. I do not know why I kept them this long!
Utilizing technology is a good thing, but sometimes technology is cumbersome. I will backup to blank media until I get sick of doing it. Sir, thanks for your contribution to my thread. You folks over here are good people, as I do not care what the video editing people think. ;) This thread is like a good women: a keeper! :D

Nice review.
I am only worried about the bulkiness and thickness. Does this case make the ipad 2 a lot thicker and heavier? Is it heavy at all?

The screen wheel protection has to count for something doesn't it. I kind of think they are kinda cool, someone please agree!!!
Fine Im outta here. :o
I agree... even if they were ugly as sin (which I dont think they are) the protection of them is great.... have on of these on from day 1, and your iPod will never scratch. A great buy I would say.

The Ipad 2 and very recently IMac have just release.
I'm reading the buyer's guide page here and it said don't buy the Macbook for now because there will be an update soon.
I do understand just like Iphone, Apple always release a new hardware with the same price of old lower spec hardware.
But I'm in need of the Macbook for an Iphone app development and I want to see wheter I just get the Macbook air now or wait for the white Macbook with higher spec at the same price.
What do you guys think?
