3D anaglyphic no depth help

Hi,
I have just ventured into the world of creating anaglyphs (3D red/cyan)
I can easily manipulate a photograph to get great results no problems.
Now I am actually implementing some 3D into a game ( you will have to use red/cyan glasses of course).
While I can create the backdrops etc to look awesome the problem comes when I try create another object and import it into the game.
1) I create the static background export as a png, load into game = perfect
2) I create a single object export as png, load into game = no depth, just a blackish border around the object.
3) If i create the object in photoshop turn it 3d and then duplicate the object and place in the background in photoshop it works fine.
So, is it possible to create a single object in 3d save as a png , do the same for a background, place the object on the background and get depth with the object?
I am thinking it may be to do with the channels and there opacity changing dynamically or something?
thanks

Hi,
yes I am well aware of parallax I use it all the time to get DOF etc, but 3d anaglyphic is different.
Perhaps I am getting my point across wrong.
forget about the game issue.
I create a 3d background 1000px x1000px export it as a png.
I create another image 60px x 60px again in 3d.
I place the 60px x 60px image on the background image.
Why is the 3d effect not working properly with the 60px x 60px image? it has a halo around it(probably ghosting), but does look 3d somewhat.
It seems the red/cyan(separated in the channels) isn't working correctly.

Anaglyph 3D ghosting help

Hi, I'm creating red-cyan anaglyphs from black and white originals in photoshop with layers, then importing into FCP. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for reducing ghosting. Some photos come out fine, others are distracting. So far, the only tips I've found say to reduce the green in the cyan and then reduce contrast. Anyone else know of any proven methods?

White Screen of Death. Need a more in-depth help.

My iPod Nano (6th Gen) has a white screen. The internet calls it the white screen of death. I read a lot of troubleshoots that tells me to do a hard reset. Unfortunately, I am stuck in the part where I have to wait for the Apple logo to come out after holding the Sleep/Wake + Volume Down buttons.
I also tried restoring it using iTunes, but the result is still the same; white screen of death.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem?

Deal with the experts and go to an Apple shop after you've made an appointment with the Genius Bar (or you may be lucky and just walk in to be served). They will have a quick look at the phone and give you a refurb replacement straight away if it is found to be faulty. I've had two replacements over the past 18mths (Original iPhone & 3GS) and the service is excellent.

I need help with DW, PHP & MySQL please.

Hello, I am new to website development and am trying to set up a form for collecting data on my website and have a question that I can’t find an answer to anywhere else. I was wandering if someone there would be kind enough to help? I am using Dreamweaver in CS4 and my host already has PHP & MySQL installed on the server that I can use. My question is: Do I need to download XAMP or WAMP on my computer before trying to connect my form to the server? Also, do I need to change the page I am putting the form on to .PHP extension or can I just embed the PHP form into an existing HTML page?
Most of the training tutorials I’ve read don’t start at the most basic beginning but rather expect people to already have a basic knowledge of the topics they are trying to learn. If anyone knows the best place to get answers to the most basic questions like this one or a beginners guide to working with DW, PHP & MySQL I will gladly go there rather than waste your time on questions you’ve probably already answered a bezillion times.
Thank you for the help.

Strictly speaking, you don't need XAMPP or WAMP on your local computer. But if you're serious about getting involved with PHP/MySQL, you should definitely set up a local testing environment with one or the other. It's safer and more efficient. Don't expose all your errors on a live server. You can find instructions on how to set up a testing environment here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html.
To develop with PHP, you should always use a .php file name extension. Any other choice is very rare.
There's a tutorial on building your first dynamic website with DW here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html.
For more in-depth help, you might want to consider grabbing hold of a copy of "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP". (Yes, I wrote it, so it's a bit of shameless self-promotion, but you'll find it answers many of your questions - and probably a lot you hadn't even thought of.)

Noobs first forum help request.

Hi.
I'm a Brit living in Korea and after 7 years of cell phone **** (having a phone that has only partial and badly written English menu)I finally got an iphone.
The manual is in korean and although i've changed all the language settings to English I have to admit that i dont know how to use some features.
Here are a few initial questions. I hope someone can help.
1. Is there any way to see a menu of 'all' the free apps in intunes and not just the top 100?
2. When I make vidios they play well on the iphone but are very stuttery on my pc. Is there a reason for this.
3. I have no idea how to transfer my mp3 collection onto my iphone. I plugged it in and on my computer it just shows up as a camera. When i look into it i can only see photos and videos. When i dragged and dropped a folder into itunes it just dropped the contents and they get mixed up with all the other song on it. After syncing though, when select 'ipod' it says no content? Im confused.
The tutorial videos on itunes seem more like marketing videos than actual in depth help vids. Is there any link where i can find specific vids to hep me. I used monkeysee.com but they were all from version 2.
4. It's a pain when i watn to organize the apps and their positions. Even when i do it with itunes. When i move one app say to the first screen it messes up the position of all the other apps. Is there anyone to lock an app so it stays exactl where i put it even if i move other apps onto or around that screen?
5. Why can't i get rid of the apps that i will 'never' use such as stocks?
6. Is there a manual i can download that shows me all the basics of how to use my iphone?
That's all for now.
Thank's.

Hi, unfortunately there is no way to remove the apps that come pre-installed (from Apple) off of the iPhone. This is just the way they made it. As far as the music goes, when ever you drag a folder or import a CD the contents within that item will add into iTunes and not the folder itself or CD. If you want certain content in a certain place you can create playlists by going to File>New Playlist in iTunes on your computer. As far as "locking" apps goes you just have to keep them where you want them. If you put the app you want on a certain home screen between 2 other apps its going to put the one you want in the middle and vice versa.
As far as free apps in itunes you can try searching "free apps" and see what results come back. Not sure if this will show all or some but may help.
Here is the link for the iPhone manuals.
Hope this Helps!!

System tweaking help

is that tweaking site still around and being used? i remember if you subscribed to the site you could get a little more in depth help from the experts there.

Try
\b[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9a-z.-]+\.[A-Z0-9a-z]{2,4}\b
This is the same as the one you wrote, but with all three parts of the
email address ([email protected]) called by character classes A-Z,
a-z, 0-9.
Leave the Change To field empty, and specify a character style (that
makes it italic) in the Change Format dialog. You might want to specify
Character Style: None in the Find Format dialog, just so you don't apply
your email address style over an already-applied character style.
After this, search for roman @ to see if this missed anything.

What are some good, standard, help strategies?

I'm learning JSP, coming from a Cold Fusion background.
The biggest difficulty I've found in learning a new language is learning where to get help. This means:
1) Which book(s) to buy (there's a bazillion of 'em)
2) Where can I get help locally? Is there an IDE that is better for JSP? does any IDE provide in-depth help and docs on JSP? or code samples? Is there a detailed langauage reference I can download and use, or import into my IDE of choice (which is Homesite/Cold Fusion Studio)?
3) Where can I get help online? What are the best web sites to provide answers using tutorials, articles, forums, and/or sample code? I'm sure this site here at Sun has great stuff, but is it 'real-world' information?
I realize there are a ton of books and sites to help. The problem may be that, because there are so many, newbies have a hard time knowing which ones are the best for us. We don't have the time, money, or resources to evaualuate all the books and websites that are avaialable. I think I need a short list of the most popular and common sites and books.
Also, For the above information, I need resources that can provide both newbie information ('cause I'm new to the language), intermediate information for people who have coding experience and catch on quickly, and advanced info for the nitty gritty occasions that inevitably pop up while coding.
I have learned some of the best help strategies for Cold Fusion, but any time I start learning a different language, I struggle to develop a new and efficient help strategy. What are some good suggestions?

Try professional JSP from Wrox Publication - a good book, but you will have to sit and read it, patiently - there is no shortcut to anything.

IMac G4 says it's not connected to Internet but shows it is...

Hi, I'm not even sure I'm in the right place, but I have a few questions.
At first when I connected my iMac G4 to the Internet it kept giving me "there is an error connecting to "XXXXX" network" type thing.
Now, since I pressed Cmd, Option, O & F and did the rest-nvram and reset-all, when it boots it is showing it is connected to the internet but as soon as I've clicked network diagnostics and tried to go through that dialog box it will disconnect me from the wireless connection and go back to the error dialog mentioned above.
I just bought this, though the Airport Card was wacky so I replaced that.
It recognizes it in the "About Mac" "More Info" "Network" thing.
I've troubleshooted this beyond belief, and I need a more in depth help than just a simple "try restarting the computer"
"try restarting the router"
I have tried this with several routers, all different internet connections, the whole nine yards.
HELP ME PLEASE, I AM SO FRUSTRATED!

I just bought this, though the Airport Card was wacky so I replaced that.
It recognizes it in the "About Mac" "More Info" "Network" thing.
So, you have tried two Airport Cards? Both have not worked?
I'd turn off encryption for testing. The card is rather slow. 10mhz.
Might be best to pack the cards in and try a usb dongle.
Ethernet Bridge
Ethernet Bridge "The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network." from linksys example: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-RE1000-Wireless-N-Range-Extender/dp/B005FDXMJS/ref =sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314563758&sr=8-1
This linksys bridge is the safest solution since it doesn't require any Mac OS drivers.
Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge. 802.11n ( I bevieve you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure. Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )

You better give OWC 1-800-275-4676 a call to verify that these USB dongles will work with 10.3.
You would be better off with the more expensive dongle. The letters n/g/b correspond to the speed of the data transfer. You should match the speed to your existing router. You best match on the highest speed. N is the highest. G is middle. b is lowest.

Web Service Execute Activity

Using the Web Service Execute activity, I get the following error when I try to load the methods using wsdl https://srm-app-003:9007/srm.wsdl
When I try to run the workflow, I get the following error:

Hi Mary Jane,
What version of CPO are you using? I was able to load this WSDL up in 2.3 and see the methods. It took a few moments to load fully as it appears to be a large WSDL but it loaded.
How much memory is on your VM/server you are using with CPO?
If you want more in-depth help, please open a TAC case and someone from my team can help you.
thanks,

5c in recovery mode will not restore or update - iTunes is current version - Completely lost and very frustrated :o(

My phone lately has been searching for service constantly, I would say that 80%of my day my phone is searching for service. There was a software update for I think 8.1.2, my phone didn't have enough storage, so I tried to do it through iTunes, when I did that, I got the connect to iTunes screen and couldn't get past it. So now I have put my phone into recovery mode and have run into nothing but issues. One iTunes will not let me update the software, secondly I can't restore it, I get a pop up saying something that my device isn't recognized. I'm completely lost and frustrated Need some suggestions...

Migration Assistant transferred applications but not other files

I just bought a new MacBook Air yesterday and connected wirelessly to my 2007 MacBook to transfer everything via Migration Assistant. All of my applications were transferred, however none of my 'desktop' or 'downloads' files made it over. I've tried twice now. Any ideas why that might be and what to try?

If the data is from another account, then they're there, but only accessable by the account that has ownership. Transfer those manually or use the other account to change the permissions outside of the home folder, or in the shared folder for that aaccount.
Transfer manually, anything else. Here's an in depth help guide for Time Machine and Migration.

Getting a -1074118656 error in LV 2009

First off, I've done some searching and found this KnowledgeBase page, I have also seen a few other forum posts on this error which the KnowledgeBase page seems to have worked for most of them. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be doing the trick for me, so I'm looking for a little more in depth help.
I am repuposing a PXI system for a new application, it contains three PXI-2503s, a PXI-4060, three PXI-2565s and I added in a PXI-6221. The controller was originally Windows 2k and after fighting with that for longer than I'd like, I was able to upgrade it to XP. I was initially developing the software on a separate machine and was having some driver incompatibility issues between the systems, but that seems to have gone away now except for this -1074118656 error code when I try to initialize the PXI-4060. I've upgraded all the drivers to the latest versions, I hope. I have NI-DMM 3.0.6 installed at any rate.
Since it is sitting in slot 5 of the PXI system its device number is 5. I've confirmed that it works with the soft panel in MAX, and it displays a 'device 5' while operating just fine. However when I try to initialize the vi in LV2009 with 'DAQ::5' or "DAQ::5::INSTR" I get the error code. To experiment I also created an IVI driver session referencing that same "DAQ::5" using the NI-DAQ to no avail. What am I missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hann,
I now realize that my previous suggestion was based on an incorrect assumption. I apologize for the misleading information.
The readme file for NI-DMM 3.0.6 states that it only supports LabVIEW versions 2009 SP1 and later. NI-DMM 3.0.1 supports LabVIEW 2009. Are you running LabVIEW 2009 or LabVIEW 2009 SP1? This may be the reason you were getting the error.

Home Theater with Mac Mini and Mac book Air

We are currently using our Mac Mini 2GHz Intel with our Sylvania HMDI TV connected with HDMI cable. The only downfall is that our desktop has to be close to our tv. I would like to put the desktop in our bedroom and use the new macbook air for tv watching downstairs. The questions is, how would I get all of my content from the desktop down to the laptop to view on tv.
We will also be using Plex 9 when we get a bigger harddrive. Will we be able to run that on the laptop if it is located on the desktop upstairs?
A run down of how someone else has thier home theater set up using something similar would be great!
Thanks in advance!

The Plex software bundle you download and install includes two components, Plex Media Server and Plex Media Manager. The former (PMS) needs to be running on your desktop all the time, the latter (PMM) is the client that can find the content on your network. When you run PMM on your laptop, it can see the content on any system running PMS on your network, and stream the content from there. The PMM is the 'Plex' you see in your Applications folder.
For more in depth help with setting up Plex, you should consult the Plex Forums.

Tip for Data Merge with Multiple Records (labels, etc.)

I have seen many InDesign Data Merge questions about how to create sheets of mailing labels, especially the problem of getting only one label per page, when you need 30 or more.
Adobe's instructions are poor and incomplete in that InDesign doesn't step out the records from a data source - it steps out the FRAMES that contain the data field placeholders.
That is why you only need to place a text or image frame once on a single page - during the datamerge, InDesign will create the additional FRAMES for each record, and it will create the pages required to hold them.
You do have to set the desired spacing on the
If you create the frame on a Master page, ID allows you to update the data source (when it changes) in the Data Merge tool panel.
These are very nice and robust features, but the documentation for them is confusing to many people.
You will find more great in-depth help for Data Merge, with screen captures and attachments, here in the forum.

For a multiple record merge you need one set of placeholders, then set the margins and spacing in the merge options so the positioning is correct.
Warning: Using Preview in a multiple record merge will corrupt the file. If you press the preview button, Undo after looking at the preview, then merge without using preview.

Release Version 2.0 NOW

Don't know why Apple is delaying the release of version 2.0 for the 1st generation phones. What difference can this possibly make to wait to the last minute??
Can you imagine the chaos with everyone updating their old phones and bringing the 3G phones online the first day. Just reading this forum tells you that installation of software updates do not always go smoothly. This should be interesting to watch.

As part of this transition from .Mac, MobileMe will include a full set of tutorials at Apple.com and in-depth help content at me.com. You can also visit (www.apple.com/findouthow) for free tutorials that will teach you Mac basics and give you pointers on how to work with photos, movies, music, and more.
What is going to happen to www.mac.com?
MobileMe will have a new home at www.me.com where you will find a suite of web applications that have the familiar look and feel of the applications on your Mac. If you go to mac.com, you will be redirected to the login page at me.com. We recommend that you update your bookmarks to me.com when MobileMe becomes available.
Will I still be able to use my mac.com ID as an Apple ID?
Yes. Your @mac.com ID will still work as an Apple ID for purchases on the iTunes Store, Apple Online Store, and Apple print products created with iPhoto or Aperture. Once MobileMe becomes available, you may continue to use your @mac.com ID or your new me.com ID as an Apple ID. Both names will access the same ID.
Can I continue to use my mac.com ID for iChat?
Your @mac.com ID will still work for iChat. You will also be able to use your @me.com ID for iChat. However, it will be separate from your mac.com iChat ID and will work only as long as your MobileMe subscription is active.
I have a .Mac retail box; can I still use it to activate?
Yes. Just go to www.mac.com/activate and enter your code to get started. Your account will be automatically upgraded to MobileMe when it becomes available.
