Hi Janice,
What version of Mac OS are you using?
Adobe does not recommend migrating the software from one disk to the other.
Please run the setup file for Acrobat and reinstall the software. You might want to delete the existing version of Acrobat installed before reinstalling it.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

I doubt it Doc Maik, but I am certainly happy to learn The image is this one (and a similar one). They would be beautiful portraits if not for the "extra mouth". The grey edge that I would like to remove is the excess of (grey) mouth that is actually my horse's chin, but that in the pictures looks like a wider, looping mouth. Practically, looking at the picture, the "extra mouth" to the left. What I would love it to be able correct that to look like a normal mouth, which means that half of the protruding edge should be removed. I am not sure I was able to explain myself, but here is one of the two pictures. I thank you for you kindness in being available to advise me.

Launching Browser from Java when Browser URL is very long

Hi,
I am trying to launch a browser from Java.
I am doing the following.
String command = "cmd" + "/c" + "start" + " browserURL";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime()exec(command);
Note: My browserURL is very long.
Now the browser is invoked. But the URL shown is incomplete and hence
browser is unable to open the required application.
Can someone help me in this.
One way is to increase the buffer size on the command prompt?
Is there any java command for this?
Is there any other way to solve this issue.
Thanks,
AR

Can we remove Start Private Browsing from Tool list, but use Ctlr + Shift + P instead?

Is it possible to move the word "Start Private Browsing" from the Tool List because it can create suspect or accuse to use it, I prefer to have it dissect like using the keyboard (use Ctlr + Shift + P) to start private browsing.

You can modify the appearance of Firefox via two customization files.
The customization files userChrome.css for the user interface and userContent.css for websites are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder, but aren't there by default. 
You may need to create the chrome folder and the userChrome.css (the names are case sensitive). 
Make sure to use a plain text editor like Notepad.exe and make sure to have all files selected when you save the file as userChrome.css to avoid that the editor appends a .txt file extension (userChrome.css.txt).

How do you launch browser from a servlet

I have an interesting issue here. I send data to a servlet and the servlet recieves and processes the data (confirmed through breakpoints) but I want to display the data in a JSP or directly thru the servlet using html tags.
However I can forward or redirect the data from the servlet to my jsp code but this still doesn't launch a browser.
A little more detail... I am not sending information from a JSP to the servlet. The servlet is listening on a port for input, so the servlet is being invoked directly when the data comes in. In the current state my servlet sends the results in a session object to a JSP which gets the results but can't display them since it doesn't launch browser.
Does anybody know how to display my calculated results from the servlet in a browser?

Ok let me try to be more specific. I have an application that sends data to the servlet over a socket connection. The servlet gets this data and multiplies it by a factor.
When I put break points in, I see that the servlet gets this data.
Now I am trying to display the data in a browser.
Upon entry to doGet the servlet checks if the String variable that gets the parameter is not null. If it is not null then it forwards to a JSP.
But I tried a scenario where I have a browser open that has the localhost address of the servlet and then I run the program which is outside the war file that contains the servlet to send data to the servlet, but when the servlet gets the data, it does the forward to the JSP but the page is not displayed. However I see the process move to the JSP thru the break points I put in.
I know its kind of a weird scenario but I suspect that since the program calls the servlet and it gets the data, it must need to launch a new browser in order to be able to display the JSP it forwarded to.
I could be wrong but so far I have exhausted all possible ideas in my head for now so if you understand what I am saying perhaps you can tell me if you know a better way to do this...
Thanks

Problem to launch browser from URL

Hi All,
I need to launch a web browser from a URL (to send the user from ESS to a benefits provider web site). I created the resource and the service for the URL in the IMG on R/3 and set it to open the URL on a separate page. I created the links to the URL and they show fine on the iview, but when I click on them, nothing happens. Does anybody know what I am missing? Do I need to create a URL iview for this? Or how do I do it?
I will appreciate any help on this.

Nagaraju,

I tried to give you full points but I get an error message that the item is locked for rewarding points, sorry. Either way, this item has been solved.
Thank you.

Migrating from iMac CD to MBPC2D - Need Help with the FIle Migration

I just ordered a refurb 2.4 MacBook Pro, which will replace my iMac Core Duo as my main machine. The iMac is running Tiger. I've decided that I only am concerned with migrating the following information from the iMac, and want some help on the best way to do this (paths/locations would be helpful too):
-iPhone backups - to ensure my iPhone doesn't get wiped when it syncs. I will want to copy the last backup over to the MBP.
-All iTunes Music and Movies
I will then manually re-install VirusBarrier x4, MS Office, etc. I think this is better than trying to migrate everything over. What do you think?
Edit: I also have a FireWire external hard-drive available to assist with this.
Thanks
