Annoyances with using synergy with Mac

So, I've got an iMac that I'm controlling exclusively with synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) from a winXP pc, which is all working nicely. However, there are two things that are not quite right and I was wondering if anyone could help.
At boot I get a selection screen asking me which hard drive to select at boot. I'm definitely not holding down an alt key for this to occur as there is no keyboard and mouse plugged into the system and synergy doesn't kick in until after that screen, requiring me to find a mouse each time to get past it. If I go to system preferences and set the startup disk, it will boot correctly, however that setting will reset itself at the next boot as well (which seems like an odd behaviour).
Secondly, I'd also like to disable the "no mouse found"/bluetooth scanning notification window, as I don't want to be informed that I have no mouse plugged in when i have no trouble moving the pointer to close the window.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Do a PRAM reset and see if that helps.
Why not turn off BlueTooth until you need it?

Help with using itunes with 4s library after i upgraded to iPhone 5 and computer power supply went

long story hopefully an easy fix....
on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.
yes i broke the cardinal rule of cross posting and apoligize for it just amazed i couldn't find answer via google nor any apple store genius knew it either.

Hi All,
Any help?
No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
Thank you

Issues with using utl_http with Oracle Wallet

Hello Everyone,
We are experimenting with Oracle wallet and utl_http and are attempting to do an https transfer and we are facing some problems. I will appreciate your help greatly if you can advise on what could be wrong. We are on db version 10.2.0.1 and Unix HP-UX. The intention ping an https url and get a simple 200 response. Future development would include get/post XML documents from that url and other interesting stuff. I understand that utl_http with Oracle wallet can be used for this purpose.
The wallet has been created and the ewallet.p12 exists. We downloaded the SSL certificate from the url's website and uploaded into the wallet.
Everything works if I put in a url with plain http. However, it does not work with an HTTP*S* url.
With HTTPS when I run the below code I get the following error. Again, greatly appreciate your time and help because this is the first time we are using Oracle wallet manager and do not know where to go from here.

Problem with using sql with page items

Hi
I have a simple query that when i enter this works
SELECT SUGGESTION_ID, SUPERVISOR_ID, OVERVIEW
FROM PROJECT_SUGGESTION
WHERE SUPERVISOR_ID = 1;
But when i enter this doesnt
SELECT SUGGESTION_ID, SUPERVISOR_ID, OVERVIEW
FROM PROJECT_SUGGESTION
WHERE SUPERVISOR_ID = &P12_SUPERVISOR_ID;
Even though the value of the page item supervisor_id for page 12 is 1.
Anyone know why this is or another way i can refrence the page item?
thanks
Dan

Instead of &P12_SUPERVISOR_ID
try
:P12_SUPERVISOR_ID
And i think when you used the & you follow it with a period. ie. &P12_SUPERVISOR_ID.
Just a guess.

Help needed with using Patterns with Actions

New to the site and I'm wondering if anyone could give me a little assistance!
I have jpegs of a LOT of fabric swatches that are to be inserted into a PSD file of a living room as the window blinds and this needs to be achieved via an Action.
The way they are intended to work is:
• the fabric swatch is opened
• a pattern is generated from the swatch
• a PSD file is opened
• the relevant layer is selected and a pattern overlay is chosen which makes the swatch appear as if it is used on the blinds
All well and good. BUT of course when I record the action and create the pattern from one swatch, whenever I run the action with a DIFFERENT swatch it still uses the swatch that was used when I recorded it!
For example I create the action with olive_swatch.jpeg and it works a charm. But when I open teal_swatch.jpeg it still chooses olive.swatch.jpeg when I apply the pattern to the layer.
Anyone got any ideas?

Help with using Iphone with NEW computer

I have a new computer and want to use my iphone with it. I dont have any songs on the new one and cannot transfer them however i can eventually rebuild my song list. What i want to know is when i sync my iphone to my new computer i no that means it will put whatevers in my library on it but when it comes to settings, applications, photos, sms messages what happens with those, will it just erase everything? Im just a little confused with everything.
Help would be much appreciated! :-D thanks

Yep... everything will be gone because the computer will think it's a new iPhone.
You can download the applications from the AppStore again for free, but your music will be lost. Consider using an application like ifunbox to copy the music from your iPhone to the PC before installing iTunes.

Help with using Shuffle with Windows XP

I have the 30 GB video and a shuffle.
My wife uses the shuffle and she uses her own user account on XP, but uses my account on Itunes.
I changed the library my wife uses to the one I use for Itunes, so all our songs are coming out of a same shared library as oppsoed to have two seperate libraries.
But, when I plug in my wifes shuffle under my account, it asks me my songs are from a different library, and then I have to erase the songs off her shuffle. I have tried exporting her playist, but it too erases some songs I bought from Itunes.
Do I have a configuration problem here. I want my wife and I to use the IPOd interchangably under different user accounts (She will destroy my computer is she uses an administrator account).
Once again, all the files are coming out of the same library, but for some reason it says they are different libraries.
Any thoughts? I hope I explained it correctly.

Does iTunes appear (in Explore) in both your user account AND your wife's? If so, you should probably delete iTunes from her account. Then the only Library would be the one associated with iTunes in your account.

Problem with using partialTrigger with af:table

Hi,
My use case is search page. I am using two jsf fragments in one page.
One fragment is to specify the search conditions. I have search command button on that search fragment. And when user clicks on search page the result has to come in another fragment.
I am displaying the result in a <af:table> and total record in one label. I have bounded the <af:table> with RichTable in the backing bean. I have put partialTrigger on the searchButton of fragment one.
When i click on search the label of result fragment gets updated. But the table doesn't change or updated.
I have the frank's example with poll and i have tried putting <af:Table> inisde <af:form> and set the partialTrigger on af:form. But still it doesn't refresh the table.
Can any body help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hiren

Hi Frank,
I am able to refresh the <af:outputText> which are there with <af:table>.
So here the problem is RichTable.
I can observe the following happening inside the ActionListener of Search Button.
1. I have printed the RowCount of richTable.
2. I have added two more columns into RichTable.
2. Then I reduced one element form the List (this list is used as datamodel for Af:table.
3 Now if after step #2 if I try to print the Rowcount of RichTable then I can see that the rowCount is decreased by 1.
So after this other components inside page are getting refreshed. And also I can see that two columns are added into af:table.
But the rows of table are not getting refreshed. It is showing old data only.
Can anybody provide their input where I am missing.
Has anyone got the example which refreshes the data of <af:table> bound to RichTable ?
It will really help me.

Newbie to MacBook needs help with using Itunes with external hard drive...

I got a MacBook yesterday. I am trying set my Itunes up but having a big problem. When I try to sync music from my external TB hard drive into Itunes, the music is apparently being copied into the laptop HD and is being synced from there, instead of straight from my TB HD. I WANT the music to sync straight from the external HD and NOT being copied in the Mac HD first and then synced like it is doing right now. I don't want to use the Mac's hard drive because I have limited HD space on my Mac and unlimited external capacity. Can anyone help me in setting this up. i've looked for answers but can't seem to find on here. Thanks for all the help. I love this Mac and this is the only real bump I've had. Thanks again.

Turn off the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences". iTunes will then just link to the tracks on the external drive rather than copying them to the internal. If you also want future imports and purchases to be saved to the external drive, change the location for the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes -> Advanced -> iTunes Music Folder location preference.
Regards.

Interesting... it seems they either changed the comma in between 10g and 11g or there is a bug in the 11g documentation. I think I will report it to the documentation forum. Since the 11g gif description includes the coma. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/img_text/xmltable.htm
I guess Michaels found the real bug. You can always count on him when it gets to XML-action.

Problems with using JSTL with Weblogic 8.1 SP5 - Help!

/searchinput.jsp(2): Error in using tag library uri='/WEB-INF/lib/regain-search.tld' prefix='search': cannot find tag class: 'net.sf.regain.ui.server.taglib.TagMsg'
probably occurred due to an error in /searchinput.jsp line 2:

jstl.jar
standar.jar
log4j-1.2.11.jar
struts.jar
lucene-1.4.3.jar
jsp-api.jar
and the regain-search.tld.
I am using JSTL 1.0.6 (earliest version I could find of JSTL 1.0).
The class files that the tld file is pointing to are in the WEB-INF/classes directory of the application (which is an exploded war file).
Here is what I have as reference in my web.xml file:

I've looked everyone on the Web trying to find an answer to this - but nothing I've tried has worked.
This all works fine in Tomcat 5.0
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance,

Anyone have experience with using Flip4Mac with Compressor?

I am suddenly getting a strange QT error. I just upgraded my QT version to the latest one, 7.4.5 and now I can't encode anything using Flip4Mac's WMV encoder through Compressor. Everything was working just fine before I did the upgrade, but now whenever I try to use Compressor to export to a WMV file, I get an error that reads "QuickTime Error: -2002"
It's like the codec isn't even installed or something, because the error is instant. It's not like it gets going and then quits out in the middle.
I've tried a full clean re-install of Compressor, QuickTime and Flip4Mac and I still get this error. Does anyone out there have any ideas?

I would recommend downgrading to QuickTime 7.3.1, which is currently the most stable version of QuickTime for Final Cut Studio 2.0.2.
- QuickTime 7.3.1 for Leopard
- QuickTime 7.3.1 for Tiger
- QuickTime 7.3.1 for Panther

Trying to compare Aperature with Adobe Elements for Mac

Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Actually, your choice should be between Aperture and Adobe Lightroom. Either way, you'll still need Photoshop. Maybe you could get away with using Elements with Aperture or Lightroom, but I doubt it.
Aperture (and Lightroom) are for organizing and dealing with your photos (all of them). Photoshop (and Elements) are for dealing with indivual photos. I for example, have imported all 80 thousand of my digital shots into Aperture. But I can't make my photos look like my photos in Aperture, so the "finals" take a trip through Photoshop, where I burn the corners, dodge people's faces, etc. Photoshop can't/won't catalog, organize, deal with your collection. But Aperture can't/won't do the things PS can on individual shots.
So you may well ask whether you can use Elements instead of PS, but Aperture and PS are different beasts, and you probably need both.
