How to ask the right questions

Howdy, all. I have some questions pertaining to programming in a more general sense.
Since you've all heard the new person background story dozens of times, I'll skip over most of that part. : )
One important detail I will bring up, though, is that I will graduate soon with a bachelor's degree in computer science, and I am distressed that I seem to have large gaps in my knowledge regarding current development techniques. I wanted to learn how to program, which what led me to my current university's school of engineering. I also would like to stick with my Macintosh, since that's what I'm comfortable working on. However, when I sit down to practice own my own, I struggle with anything beyond a console application. So I guess my first question would be, am I expecting the wrong kind of skills from my degree? Is this something I will simply pick up when I go to my first job? Is this something otherwise so simple that I should be able to pick it up on my own-but can't for some reason? I've completed all my core software classes, and have only to take non-software related required courses or general electives.
For a more specific example, I've just recently learned more or less what a framework is, and what it is used for, though not from any of my classes. Having completed a course in .NET Web Application design this past fall semester, one would imagine that I would have picked up that detail along the way, but for some reason the professor never addressed it. In light of that, it's possible that I know even more than I think I know, but I don't yet have a label for it, or realize that it's important.
This leads to another dilemma. I don't know what kinds of questions I need to ask of my professors, because I don't really know what I don't know. I remember going into several professors' offices to bring up my general programming difficulties. They usually gaped in amazement when I said that I was a senior and I didn't know how to make a hello world application. As it turns out, the correct thing I should have said was "I don't quite understand how a development environment creates a hello world application, aside from as a console application" which is a somewhat different topic. I need to get to a point where I am able to ask a professor directly. "I need to know more about <such and such topic>." Slowly I am getting there. I would appreciate any advice anyone has to give.
Thanks!
Robert

Howdy. Sorry it took so long to get back to the forums. Trying to get my last semester in order and it's been a little crazy.
To answer the question of what I've taken already, the core computer science program basics at my school include introduction to programming concepts in Java as an "art of solving problems," programming fundamentals in C, discrete math, basic data structures, object oriented design in C++, basic analysis of algorithms and their complexities, computer organizations and processor architectures, and fundamentals of operating systems. I've also taken several math-oriented electives, such as automata theory and formal languages, and computational geometry, as well as a few courses more focused on specific applications such as computer animation and .NET programming.
I have looked at the various manuals and tutorials online, however I seem to suffer from a lack of a true starting point as someone who is completely new to non-console applications as opposed to someone who is just new to the Mac style of programming. I was looking at Quick Tour of XCode, but even that is giving me a fit. I can't seem to find a version of the guide for XCode 2.5, which I'm stuck with at the moment. I think that the suggestion is correct, that I need a little more focus to gain the insight I'm looking for. I was stuck as early as the Hello World application. The 2.0 method of creating the application seems completely alien to the setup of XCode 2.5, and I can't quite relate to the 3.0 version either.
I can't imagine that creating such an application is beyond what I have currently installed, and it's probably an issue of my competence in working with a cocoa framework that's keeping me from tweaking the example to work correctly. Any analogy to something I'm more familiar with doesn't seem to apply here.
Take, for example, in a web page and using Javascript. I could have a web page with a script that is executed on page load that simply writes "Hello World!" into the <body> section of the page. Alternatively, I could have a text box and a button. When the button is clicked, it could execute a script that creates a reference to the text box by searching the elements of the page for the unique ID I have assigned, then using that reference, modify the text property of the text box. However, the 2.0 guide's design seems to be using a more archaic style of programming in that it instantiates a window object of its own volition and invokes a drawing function to display something inside it--this was to my understanding the style of programming that frameworks were engineered to replace. The 3.0 guide's instructions seem a little closer, but the interface builder doesn't seem to let me assign any IDs to the text box, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to reference it to modify its properties.
Thanks again for everyone's advice on this!

I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I would like to ask the following question. I am using mac os x 10.9 maverics me quicktime player version 10.3. Can I trim a video recording without having to press the pause or save it as a file? Or can I add a new recording to a video file? Thanks in advance

Well,
I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

I was referred to this site when I looked for answers to why I got Fatal Error message with error code c0000005 when trying to upload photos to my computer. I see that someone else asked the same question, 90 people viewed but no answer given?

It looks to me like it is a problem on your Windows computer not being able to start an application. See the following link to Microsoft Community support (although the specifics of the problem in that case may not be applicable) and also note all of the "Related Content" at the upper right side of that link (and there may be others if you search that forum). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/the-applicatio n-is-unable-to-start-correctly/bbb9c037-77b3-4fae-93b9-ded70f7f9a17
It may help if you know or can determine which program Windows is trying to open when you upload photos -- there can be many different ones and it can be set by the user. If you are using Windows 7, you may need to check your Autoplay settings. There are some instructions in the following link that may help and that discuss how you can use Windows Explorer to manually transfer the photos: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

How can I buy a song but always asked the security questions and you don't remember them what should I do

Write down your security questions.......
Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Cheers,
Alec

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.

[Athlon64] Am I posting this on the right board please?

technically, this is a development forum, but most of us here know a bit about the java runtime environments as well.
you should be able to access the java console for the java plug-in in your web browser. if you can find that, see if there are any errors of exceptions listed, and post them here. We may be able to tell you why those errors are occuring, if we see what the messages are.
if you can't find the java console, tell us what browser you are using, and we may be able to help you find the console.

Hi psadnes!
It seems like maybe you need to reset your security questions. This can be done by following the instructions in this article:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT5312 My recovery email is no longer in use, as it hasn't been used for sometime, and now seems to have 'expired', and I do not even recall being asked the security questions,so I can no longer download certain games. Please help.

I cannot download certain games because I do not recall the answers to my security questions when it asks if I am 17 years or older. In fact, I do not even recall being asked these security questions.
I tried to guess logical answers but now my iPad is threatening to lock me out. My second email is no longer in use as it has not been used for years and has seemingly expired.
Can you please help?

If you don't have access to your rescue email account, or you don't have one on your account (an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address), then you will need contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset (you won't be able to change/add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions)
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update/add a rescue email address for potential future use

I need a solution for the security questions please ?? In the other hand i can't use the rescue email !! I need help .

I need help for those security questions please !! I don't have a rescue email and even i don't know how to add it ! Please help me

I didn't mean to give me an answer for the security questions i mean that i didn't remember the answers and i don't have a rescue email to send in it , i'm just ask for sloution to reset my security questions got it?
