Total newbie question.

I will soon be buying an iPad. All I need it for is Pages to write.
My simple questions is this:
In the App Store, how do I tell which apps are specifically for the iPad?

Is there a search function in the app store?
Yes ,a)look on the on the top right ,you'll see this>

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Help! Total newbie question...

I want to make a flash form where the viewer/user can watch a video clip of their choice (from a drop-down control or something else if there's a better way).
I've found myself totally unable to find our how to do this. I mean, frankly, I don't even know what kind of file to start from the "New..." form at the beginning of Flash (CS 3.0, btw)!
I know how to create a Flash Player and link it to a single video. What I envision is that after the page comes up, with a single player component (initially empty), the user chooses a video from the drop-down list and that video starts playing in the player.
I guess I have these questions-
What kind of file should I be starting with? {I kinda assume I'll be making an SWF to put on a web page.}
Where on earth do I learn how to get the simplest things (e.g., button clicks, etc.) to work?
Could any of y'all please offer suggestions where I could find a sample of something similar? -OR-
Could any of y'all give me an example of how to do (code?) this?!?!
I apologize for such dumb questions, but while I'm quite experienced with Premiere, Encore, Photoshop, etc., I am definitely NOT used to Flash!
Thanks in advance!
Jim 8^)

This is going to be a pretty big learning curve for someone with no Flash experience. But, sometimes the best way to learn is to just dive in and start the project.
I'd recommend using the help and tutorials for a while. You'll need to learn how to create buttons, use ActionScript, and more. My best guess is that you'll need to house each video file on your server with a unique location (URL) then create a pull-down button (or some method of selecting the files) that calls each specific video when the user selects it. I'm assuming you'll need to use a browser fscommand to loadMovie, but someone else may set me straight on that. My experience is limited in this specific task, but I think it might give you someplace to start looking.

Mounting Time Capsule drive - total newbie question

I'm a total Mac newbiew, so please bear with me.
There are alot of threads in this forum that talk about 'manually mounting' a time capsule drive. What is this manual mounting, what's the point of doing it, and how do you do it?
My Time Capsule shows up under the Shared menu in Finder and I can access it from there. Is access to the disk via this link slower than mounting it or something?
Lastly, my TC is connected to my Mac Mini via an ethernet cable. How can I check that the Mac is talking to the TC disk via this connection rather than over the wireless network that the TC is providing?

By "mounting" people are meaning seeing the Time Machine disk icon actually showing on the desktop. I can only think of 2 reasons for this, 1) time saving if people use the disk for other purposes as well as Time Machine and need to access it regularly, and 2) If it mounts, it proves you have connectivity.
Doing it from the finder sidebar is effectively the same thing, only you are doing it instead of getting the system to do it. Your initial access to the drive may be noticeably slower for a couple of seconds until it mounts is all, nothing worth worrying about
See here for more info if you are interested in mounting it automatically:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1446928
As for your last question, unless your wireless and wired connection talk to different networks, then turn off your wireless and used the wired connection.

Total newbie question... Just need some help.

I am wondering how to change a header and have all my sheets (yes, using a template) reflect that change. Also, I made a team roster and I am wondering how to have all my sheets (stats for players) reflect the roster I created. Simple name stuff.
Thanks for the help.
[email protected]

Coll,
To both of your questions I would say: Have one master sheet and on your other sheets, reference the information on your master sheet. To mirror the contents of a cell in another Table or Sheet, type = and then click on the cell you want to reference.
Hope this gets you started.

Total newb var question

Hello :) ,
so Im a total newb :(
I am trying to make this code into a function....
<code>
jd_label.setIcon(new javax.swing.JLabel(){
public javax.swing.Icon getIcon(){
try {
return new javax.swing.ImageIcon(
new java.net.URL("http://ns2.taproot.bz/java/prima_interface/thumbs/02.jpg")
catch (java.net.MalformedURLException e){
return null;
}.getIcon());
</code>
problem is, Im such a new i dont know how to use a var on this line...
jd_label.setIcon(new javax.swing.JLabel(){
I would like jd_label to be a $var but java just wants to update
a label named "var".... i.e.
JLabel jd = new Jlabel();
string fred = jd
fred.setIcon()
but this freaks out... in PERL it seems the vars are a little more
reconazable...
$fred.setIcon();
Could some one please help me :)
Thanks in advance,
jd

Thank you :)
Im still confused...but that will pass in time
As for the code in the first post... that was from a scrip i wrote
but the section i posted NetBeans wrote. here is the whole scrip...
All i really want to do is put pictures on labels...and i thought, why write
the same code for every button, ill just make a function out of the whole setIcon bit and call it for each label that needs a picture, passing the url of the picture off to the function... Below gets me one pic on one label, so
how can i reproduce this efffect on other lables using the same code over and over?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWorldSwing {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
JLabel jd_label = new JLabel();
     JTextField tex = new JTextField("sup suka");
     JPanel pan = new JPanel();
     pan.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3,10,10));
     pan.add(label);
     pan.add(jd_label);
     pan.add(tex);
// i wanna make this bit into a fuction to reuse
     jd_label.setIcon(new javax.swing.JLabel() {
public javax.swing.Icon getIcon() {
try {
return new javax.swing.ImageIcon(
new java.net.URL("http://ns2.taproot.bz/java/prima_interface/thumbs/02.jpg")
} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException e) {
return null;
}.getIcon());
     frame.getContentPane().add("Center", pan);
     frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

Login/password to SQL plus - 100% Totally newbie!

Dear users,
I'm a 100% Totally newbie - please bear over with me and forgive that I couldn't find the answer to my question in the arhive although I'm sure somebody else has asked exactly this question. And please don't say RTFM etc, because there are a huge amount of manuals etc for oracle and I'm 100% newbie and never worked with Oracle SQL before.
Introduction: I've installed Oracle 11.2 Enterprise Edition and want to go through some step-by-step tutorials - e.g. this tutorial: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a90842/ch1.htm#1005898
The tutorial says:
"The Human Resources (HR) Sample Schema is installed as part of the default Oracle9i installation. The HR user is locked by default.
You need to unlock the HR tables and user before you can use the HR sample schema. To unlock the HR tables and user, log in as the SYSTEM user and enter the following command:"
Question: I cannot figure out my password, perhaps I entered something during install but how do I get password for the "SYSTEM" user?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
There's no way to find out what a password is.
You can log in as some other user who has DBA privileges (such as SYS), and change SYSTEM's password.
If you've forgotten the SYS password, too, then log into the server as the same user who installed Oracle, or as some user in the ora_dba group. You should be able to log in as SYS. When asked for a password, just press the enter key, like this:
C:> SQLPLUS /NOLOG
SQL> CONNECT SYS AS SYSDBA
Enter password: <enter>
Connected.
SQL> ALTER USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY new_password;
User altered
SQL> CONNECT SYSTEM
Enter password: new_password
Connected

Newbie Question. just installed IE7.. how do I set up a local host to preview sites?

Sorry for the newbie question... but it's been a long time since I have done this
Thanks!

Just define your site in DW as always. For a static site, that's all you need to do.

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
Thanks.

Domain name settings - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

Newbie Question: Can Flash do this?

I would like to make some movies (whatever format would load
the quickest on a website and produce the smallest file size) that
show the stroke order and formation of Chinese characters.
The viewer would see something like an animated GIF that
shows the character being formed on the screen
Can Flash be used in conjunction with a Wacom Tablet (or
mouse, for that matter) to do this? If so, how would I do this--I'm
a total newbie with Flash.
If it can't can anyone suggest a program that could do this??
I have the Adobe Master Collection, so I have access to all the
programs.
Thanks.

Flash can do it, but not quite the way you're approaching it,
I think. I would start with the complete character on the stage and
use a series of animated masks to reveal the strokes in sequence,
to make them 'appear' like they are being drawn.
There are some other ways to go about this as well, but this
would be the simplest by far.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
Matt Donnelly

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Multiple version of JRE in company..How to manage? (newbie question)

Greetings..this is a newbie question
We have 48 versions of JRE running in on XP IE6 in our company.
Some version beat up other JAVA applications.
It's a mess.
How can anyone manage this many versions?
Can we consolidate down to a few versions?
I saw some posts on changing the JRE dynamically or perhaps using a wrapper with a product from "sourceforge".
Are these viable?
Thanks in advance

How can anyone manage this many versions?you don't, each computer should periodically upgrade (IMO) but you shouldn't care. if you do, tell your users to load the latest version
Can we consolidate down to a few versions?sure
