Basic help for an Iphone newbie - (Sorry!)

Hi there,
I am thinking about getting an Iphone but I simply cannot find definitive answers for the following.
Can you guys help?
Am I right in saying that the iphone does NOT have the following:-?
Bluetooth
Video Camera
MMS Facility
Sat Nav Facility
Also if anybody can advise if it is actually worth all the hype and money then feel free to let me know.
I really hope it is!!
Thanks in advance for your time.
Steve

While it's true that the iPhone lacks some of those things that many people have come to expect, for me it is definitely worth the hype. I bought mine an hour after they went on sale here in the US, and haven't come close to regretting it for one second. It's not a PERFECT phone, it has it's flaws, but it's is so much sweeter than anything else I've had that I can't even describe it. I was in Best Buy yesterday and from curiosity I browsed through the cell phone section. I found myself and scratching my head at almost every phone there. I can't imagine going back to any of those. The thing that surprised me the most was the smartphones with the tiny keyboards. I had to wonder why all the talk about the iPhone's touchscreen keyboard vs. the other smartphones "tactile" keyboard. My thought is that the only reason so many people say they prefer having actual buttons to push is simply because that is what they've become used to. I've never used a smartphone, but when I picked up the blackberry's and whatnot, I realized immediately that those would be no easier to use for me, starting from scratch, than the iPhone's keyboard. Matter of fact, I might even give the edge in ease of use to the iPhone keyboard. Again, this is from someone who had never used either before June 29th. Bottom line, iPhone has flaws. It's not perfect, it's not a "Jesus phone", but it's still pretty **** sweet.

Help for an Apple newbie please???

Hi all, I have just acquired my first Apple computer which is an older PowerPC G3 running OS X 10.1.2
I would like to know how I go about upgrading the OS to a later version please? For example can I simply purchase a copy of OS X 10.3 or 4 and install it or do I need to go through the intermediate versions (10.2 to 10.3 etc)?
Does anyone know if these later OS are even compatible with the PowerPC G3?
Sorry for the basic questions, but as I say I am a complete novice with Apple computers and your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Graham
PowerPC G3 Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Hi Graham,
you have to buy the retail full install disks, regardless whether you upgrade to 10.3. or 10.4. Please also post the exact model of G3 you have. Not all G3s are compatible with 10.3 and only a few can run 10.4. You might want to check out the system requirements:
Requirements for Mac OS X 10.3
Requirements for Mac OS X 10.4
Be aware that you cannot upgrade directly from 10.1.x to 10.4! You either have to upgrade to 10.2 or 10.3 first or you perform an Erase&Install.
Most likely you will need a firmware upgrade prior to the upgrade: Firmware Upgrades

Help for an Oracle Newbie???

Hi there,
Sorry for probably a ridiculously stupid question but my boss has asked me to ask on here! Here goes -
We have a network with around 100 users. Previously we have used MS Access to report on our database, the users then logged into Access Reports and ran the required report. We are now looking at using Oracle Discoverer or similar. We have installed the developer suite and have downloaded Oracle Application Server 10g. We are able to create queries using discoverer and reports using the report builder.
My question is this - once i have created my reports (in .jsp format i believe), is it possible to host these using the application server?
The users need to log into a website or similar and select the report they need to run.
Any help would be appreciated - as i say, sorry for probably a silly question!!
Many thanks,
James.

Hi!
The answer is yes and the details on how is in the docs, see the link below.

Help for a Bluetooth Newbie please!

Hi
I have just got a Nokia 6230i (which looks like i may have alot of problems with according to your forums!).
I am trying to connect up to my PC. I have a very basic question which is, how do i know if my computer has bluetooth on it? it is Windows XP.
When i installed the PC Suite disc i got with the phone it said it said my available connections were bluetooth, serial cable and USB, which i took to meaning i had bluetooth on my computer! Am i completely wrong?
I am completely new to all this bluetooth stuff sorry. i have made my phone visible (if this is the same as 'unhiding' it.) and urned it on, but when i try to connect through the PC Suite software, it say it cannot be connected.
Help!!

Yes, the other phrase is "dongle", typically what is sold are small Bluetooth adapters (dongles) that can be attached to the USB port in your PC.
There are certainly many options available. If you go to a store I would try to make sure form the sales person that the dongle supports Microsoft Windows XP Bluetooth.
Microsoft has Bluetooth sw in Windows in Windows XP, but the Service Pack needs to be 2. YOu can check you system setup easily by:
Right click on the "phone icon" in your Windows Tray (area in bottom right in your screen) Select "about PC Suite" from the list and click. Windows opens, select "system info" and you can see what Windows version you have.
If you have something like this visible:
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP
Build 2600
Service Pack 2
Bluetooth stack:
Microsoft Bluetooth stack
Version 5.1.2600.2180
Then it will be relatively easy to take Bluetooth into use in your PC.
Just attach the dongle to USB port and let Windows guide you through the Bluetooth dongle driver install process.
Then you will have the possibility to connect your phone and Nokia PC Suite over Bluetooth.

Help for a Mac newbie please!

Hi all,
I just got my lovely MacBook Pro yesterday... and could use some help with these 2 problems...
1 - on my Windows PC I have a VPN connection to 1 of my clients. When I tried to set it up on the Mac it's asking for an IPSEC shared secret? Is there any way to disable this requirement, or does my client have to set a key on his server?
2 - I am having a problem connecting to my windows laptop through my home network...if I enable the Guest account on windows XP, the MacBook connects no problem. If however [as I really want to] I try to connect as a "proper" user with username and password, the Mac keeps telling me the username or password is wrong...which it definitely isn't!
My thought is regarding the "domain"...I don't have one set up at home...just a workgroup called "home"...so when I try to login I am only typing in the username...the tooltip for the usernae field says domain\username...do I need to put anything here for domain, and if I do, what...as there isnt one!
Thanks,
Nige

Urgent help for extremely new newbie - please.

I have been asked to set up a Labview program to graph and log
thermocouple temperature measurements from two Keithley 2001 Multimeters
and a DC voltage from HP 34420A nano Volt/Micro Ohm Meter. All three are
instruments are IEEE interfaced to a Windows 98 machine running Labview
(version 5.0 I think.) I have a couple of weeks to get the job done.
The problem is that I have never used Labview. I am an experienced C,
Fortran, BASIC programmer but this graphical system is completely new.
My situation is complicated because I am told the experienced person who
was originally going to set this up left under bad circumstances and
took many of the manuals. I would greatly appreciate any and all help I
can get.
Please feel free to send responses directly to me.

DIV Confusion... Basic help for a measly beginner

Hi all..
Tried   searching but couldn't find anything - perhaps due to my lack of   knowledge of what terms to search for, so apologies if something like   this has been posted :S
I am making my first website   myself after watching and learning from others. Everything is going   great... except I am having trouble getting my footer div to stick to   the bottom of my browser window but still stick to the white content area. I have tried using fixes on the internet but I'm not quite sure where to put bits of code...

Safari display help for a Mac newbie!

Hi everyone,
I have never used Macs before so I hope this question isn't too ridiculous...!
When using Safari, all the web pages I open are either half or three-quarters the size of the screen even when I use the little plus (maximize) button in the top left hand corner.
Only one page has ever fitted the full screen. Is there any way to make all pages opened with safari full-screen size? I've fiddled around with the settings but to no avail...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest way I have found to do this is to high light and drag the following java script to your bookmarks menu bar. Name it any thing you want. I called mine re-size. Click it and it will expand the window full page. It works with Safari 2, safari 3 beta, FireFox, Omni-wed, and SeaMonkey.
Full screen script for browsers
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

Help for a total newb with e65

Hi All,
Please help, I got the E65 and good posts about getting the wlan working.
But I got the navigator app with it, and I really dont get all this GPS stuff , with it working off satellite, but charging my mobile with data chrages, software that works with recievers and phones, some symbian.
Somebody explain it all in lamens terms please.
Cheers

Hi kiltedscot
Can I use this analogy, if you buy a TomTom car navigation unit the package includes the hardware (processor + GPS receiver) and navigation software for a fixed but known cost (there is no charge for receiving data from GPS satellite system owned by the US Government)
You have purchased the processor (E65), you need to purchase a Bluetooth GPS receiver to get positional data, the Symbian navigation software is provided free and if you download maps via your PC there is no need to incur GPRS data charges. If however you want a full talking navigation option, you do need to purchase a licence which in UK is just over £40 for 3 years.

Help For a (Somewhat) Newbie

First, with all the Posts I see here, this topic may very well have already been covered, so I apologize in advance if it has.
I recently purchased a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. I am currently using a Linksys BEFSR41 (wired) Router, so I am somewhat familiar with how they work.
I purchased the Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router so that I could connect with my Son's Dell Laptop (wirelessly). Right now, there's a 50 foot cable leading from the BEFSR41 to his bedroom.
The BEFSR41 installed flawlessly, as I recall. Just hook the cable modem to the proper port, 1 cable to my computer, and 1 to his, install the software, and it works flawlessly.
When I tried to install the WRT54G, I ran the software, hooked the cable modem to the [proper] port, then hooked the cable to my computer and.....NOTHING! No cable connection, Zilch! I even tried using the Network Connection Wizard (WinXP w/ all current SP's).
One thing I didn't do. I didn't purchase a separate network or USB antenna for the laptop, as it has wireless networking built in. Second, I'm using "Pure Networks Port Magic," a little gift which materialized from AOHell at some point in time.
I've never gone into the inner workings of either Router, other than type the classic 132.168.1.1 or whatever just to see what was in there. I've never "tinkered" with any of the settings.
Any help appreciated. The directions seem pretty straightforward and lead me to believe that it practically sets itself up.
Bob

Many cable ISPs lock down the internet connection to a single device at a time. For that they remember the MAC address of the router or computer which is connected to the modem. They usually reset this after some time of inactivity or sometimes when you power down and up everything again.
Thus you could just power down everything and wait a night to see if the WRT connects then.
The alternative is to change the MAC address on the WRT to the MAC address of the BEF. You can use the MAC address clone function in the router through http://192.168.1.1/ Clone the MAC address of the BEF which should be printed underneath the router.
Another alternative could be to set the WRT up as access point behind the BEF. (Be sure to deactivate the MAC address clone on the WRT again if you tried it before!) See this post for how to setup the WRT as access point behind the BEF.
This kind of setup has the advantage for you that you are more free to position the WRT in the best location for your whole home.
As you are running a cable at the moment anyway: if your son does some gaming or other bandwidth intensive things he will probably more happy with the wired connection than the wireless. Depending on the obstacles between router and computer and other wireless networks in the proximity the wireless signal can degrade quickly leaving you with 1 Mb/s or less. For any online game that will be not enough...

Help for a java Newbie please!

Hey guys I'm writing this program for my Java 1 class I can't seem to get it complie. This is the first time we've worked with building out own classes. And I have a feeling that I'm doing something small and silly. If someone could just take a look at it I'd be more than happy.
This is the Class we had to write it has 4 different fields of "employee information" This one looks fine.
public class Employee
   private String name;
   private int idNumber;
   private String department;
   private String position;
   public Employee(String theName, int theIdNumber, String theDepartment,
                    String thePosition)
         name = theName;
         idNumber = theIdNumber;
         department = theDepartment;
         position = thePosition;
   public void setName( String theName )
         name = theName;
   public void setIdNumber( int theIdNumber )
            idNumber = theIdNumber;
   public void setDepartment( String theDepartment )
            department = theDepartment;
   public void setPosition( String thePosition )
            position = thePosition;
   public String getName()
            return name;
public int getIdNumber()
          return idNumber;
public String getDepartment()
              return department;
public String getPosition()
           return position;
} I think this one is good, it compiles just fine.
Now we had to write a program that accesses the class and store "employee information" for 3 different employees and recall it. It only recalls for one right now, it doesn't compile though... sad day. Any help would be AMAZING THANKS in advanced.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class EmployeeInfo
   public static void main(String[] args)
       String firstEmployeeName = "Susan Meyers";
       String secondEmployeeName = "Mark Jones" ;
       String thridEmployeeName = "Joy Rogers";
       int firstEmployeeId = 47899;
       int secondEmployeeId = 39119;
       int thirdEmployeeId = 81774;
       String firstEmployeeDepartment = "Accounting";
       String secondEmployeeDepartment = "IT";
       String thirdEmployeeDepartment = "Manufacturing";
       String firstEmployeePosition = "Vice President";
       String secondEmployeePosition = "Programmer";
       String thirdEmployeePosition = "Engineer";
       Employee Employee1 = new Employee();
       Employee1.setName(firstEmployeeName);
       Employee1.setIdNumber(firstEmployeeId);
       Employee1.setDepartment(firstEmployeeDepartment);
       Employee1.setPosition(firstEmployeePosition);
       Employee Employee2 = new Employee();
       Employee2.setName(secondEmployeeName);
       Employee2.setIdNumber(secondEmployeeId);
       Employee2.setDepartment(secondEmployeeDepartment);
       Employee2.setPosition(secondEmployeePosition);
       Employee Employee3 = new Employee();
       Employee3.setName(thirdEmployeeName);
       Employee3.setIdNumber(thirdEmployeeId);
       Employee3.setDepartment(thirdEmployeeDepartment);
       Employee3.setPosition(thirdEmployeePosition);
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Name          ID Number   " +
                                     "Department      Position     /n" +
                                     Employee1.getName() + "   " +
                                     Employee1.getIdNumber() + "   " +
                                     Employee1.getDepartment() + "      /n");

Help for a new newbie

i've just tried to compile my very first Java program, and i get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: saluton
i have no idea what this means, if its any help i'm running win 2000
i'd be greatfull of anyhelp given

Jos
i bow down to you, thank you i have no idea what -cp is but it workedThat -cp flag tells the java virtual machine where it can find .class files, i.e. it
defines the ClassPath. Suppose those two .class files are stored in, say,
c:\usr\Stu000 and suppose your current directory is somewhere else, say, you're
roaming around in c:\tmp.
From within that c:\tmp directory, you can do this:java -cp c:\usr\Stu000 Salutonand it will simpy work. BTW, you can define more than one directory as the ClassPath,
you simply supply more dirs and separate them with a semi-colon. The Java
virtual machine will look in all those directories for the specified .class file to run.
i have now compiled and run my first Java programCongrats.
kind regards,
Jos
