Basic Stuff

Hi,
Do you people have examples supplementing your docs. It would
help me get a better understanding of the stuff before diving
into implementation details.

My computer and itunes do not see my iphone 'device' when I plug into either USB port on the computer. Have tried all the basic stuff suggested by 'support'. Any ideas?

My computer and itunes app do not see my iphone when I plug it into either USB port on the computer. The cable works because I can hear the iphone start charging off the computer. But there is no indication of the device in itunes or on my hard drive device list. Any ideas?

Have no idea what you mean by "basic stuff". Try EVERYTHING in this support article:

Real basic stuff that has totally alluded me

It has been many moons since ive used OS9 and after Firefox3 killed my OSX install im starting all over again...with only half of my restore disks apparently. ANYWAY! Im back to using OS9 for awhile and i have one big issue: I cant get the web browsers (explorer or netscape) to understand that i do in fact have an internet connection.
My airport signal is at full strength in the key chain, and the internet control panel says i have a connection...but i if i try to use the web browser nothing happens....no web love...just a "connection error, please make sure your mac is connected to the internet" in the empty browser window.
Im sure that im missing something real basic and dumb, and im very sure that my problem is pretty bland compared to most of the real exotic dual-booting, networking with nasa, crazy stuff that some people want to do on here...but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 500meg processing, DVD playing, single firewire rocking, only one usb plugging, original 1.0 airport surfing, 576 megs of ram jumping, really keen graphite clamshell ibook with a super awesome handle that make it look like a toilet seat that they will have to pry out of my cold, dead hands before ill give it up! (i think i might need help)

Hi, osxatemymac -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
What type connection do you have - DSL or cable? Some ISP's, especially for cable service, require the use of software that maintains the handshake with their router. If they do, they should provide it.
Check the settings in the TCP/IP control panel. Typically these are -
Connect via -set to- Ethernet
Configure -set to- Using DHCP Server
Occasionally AppleTalk can interfere with a connection. This usually occurs when there is no need to have AppleTalk use ethernet; unfortunately, just disabling AppleTalk may not make it let go. In this case it is necessary to set AppleTalk to use a different connection, such as Remote - you can make that setting in the AppleTalk control panel.
Sometimes it can help to trash the ASLM Preferences file (in the Preferences folder in System Folder), then restart.
Make sure that both the extensions named Shared Library Manager and Shared Library Manager PPC are enabled (checkmarked) in Extensions Manager.
One way to test the connection without using a browser is to run the Software Update control panel - see if it works.

I'm new to using dbms_scheduler. I'm trying out some basic stuff to see how it works

I have not used the dbms_scheduler package before and trying out some basic functionality to see and understand how it works. The below code is what I have writtern
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
job_name => 'Test_Job3',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'BEGIN pr; END;',
start_date => systimestamp,
repeat_interval => 'freq=secondly;bysecond=4;',
end_date => null,
enabled => true,
comments => 'This job is test for dbms_scheduler'
END;
create procedure pr
is
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Inside the pr procedure called using scheduler');
end;
According to my understanding it should print the line inside the procedure 'pr' every 4 seconds, but I don't see any output being shown. Can someone help me understand what exaclty is wrong with my code. I'm using Toad for oracle.

One more question - I'm trying to bring in one more functionality. Lets says - There is a job that needs to be executed every month at a particular time. I schedule it, but I want this job to be executed 'n' number of times.
For example - There is procedure that is called in the scheduler. Since its processes lot of records - I'm breaking down in chunks of data - Say 5 chunks. Now when its scheduled each month at a particular time - it should ideally execute 5 times in order to complete the job for that month. How can this be achieved ? I thought of using max_runs, but that might end the job and never repeat it again.

Basic Stuff!! How can I add a simple frame?

Hi,
Sorry for what's a pretty basic question... I'm used to version 4.0 of Photoshop Elements and I've used this for a while and one feature I used heavily was to add a simple white frame with a drop shadow to pictures I publish on the web. It is/was really simple, I have the photo open in the editor and simply double click the frame and it automatically adds it to fit around the outside of the phot regardless of size etc.
I now have Elements 7, and I just cannot find any way to do this at all. I've searched for tutorials, and the only frame function I've found seems to want to use a fixed frame size that hides some of the picture.
It's becoming quite infuriating, what was once a simple task in PSE 4 has gotten me completely beaten in PSE 7...
Can someone please help me, it's driving me round the bend!!!

Hi Barbara....
Thanks for your help, I can see the frames there, but they seem to work in a completely different way to PSE 4.
If I double click a frame, or select and click apply then they're all cropping the photo to fit the frame which is the opposite behaviour to PSE 4 which fitted the frame around whatever the phot was... Then all it seems I can do is make the pic bigger or smaller, but if it's not the same aspect ratio as the frame then I get blank bits.
And I can't figure out how to get the drop frame look I got before... for an example see here:

[SOLVED]Need help with Xmonad config(just basic stuff)

Hello Guys,
I thought I'd give Xmonad a try even if I don't know haskell. So I just tried to use some examples from the net, however even for just mapping some special keys it fails.
I used this example http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmon … _%280.9%29
and this is my config file:
import XMonad
import Graphics.X11.ExtraTypes.XF86
import XMonad.Util.EZConfig
import Data.Monoid
import System.Exit
import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W
import qualified Data.Map as M
MyKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $
[((0, XF86MonBrightnessUp), spawn "xbacklight +20")
,((0, XF86MonBrightnessDown), spawn "xbacklight -20")
,((0, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), spawn "amixer set Master 1+ unmute")
,((0, XF86AudioLowerVolume), spawn "amixer set Master 1- unmute")
main=xmonad defaults
-- use the defaults exepct for super instead of alt mod and the special keys
defaults=defaultConfig{
modMask =mod4Mask
,keys =MyKeys
So as could could guess, I just want to my the keys so that I can adjust volume and backlight. The keys I got with xev so these should be correct.
So when I try xmonad --recompile this error shows up.
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:12:1: Not in scope: data constructor `MyKeys'
xmonad.hs:13:15:

xmonad.hs:16:15:
Not in scope: data constructor `XF86AudioLowerVolume'
xmonad.hs:22:26: Not in scope: data constructor `MyKeys'
Please check the file for errors.
I'd really appreciate _any_ help since I can't see any significant difference to the linked page(except for cutting-out a lot and filling in my special keys )
Greetings
Edit: Here's the output of xev for the keys, perhaps it help any way:

Raynman wrote:
The first difference is that you wrote 'MyKeys' with an uppercase M. Variable/function names cannot start with an uppercase letter; that's reserved for type and data constructors.
The second problem is the key bindings themselves. Your list is completely different from that example. You probably imported XMonad.Util.EZConfig to use the "emacs style" key descriptions, but you're mixing the two styles. You can only generate a Map (of the right type) with fromList if you use the same format as that example. Look at the documentation for the EZConfig module to see how the shorter string descriptions should be used. The part
keys = \c ->
in that example is basically the same as your
myKeys conf@(XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) =
. The difference is that you're unpacking the conf/c value to extract the modMask (binding it to the name modm) but you're not using modm anywhere in your list of keybindings, so you dont need the @(..) part. And you don't need it anyway, because you can use a string starting with "M-" (in emacs-style key descriptions) to define a binding that uses the mod key (see examples).
Hey, thanks a lot for your fast and extensive answer, however I still couldn't get it working. Stupid me.
So, tried using the style of this example:
keys = \c -> mkKeymap c $
[ ("M-S-<Return>", spawn $ terminal c)
, ("M-x w", spawn "xmessage 'woohoo!'") -- type mod+x then w to pop up 'woohoo!'
, ("M-x y", spawn "xmessage 'yay!'") -- type mod+x then y to pop up 'yay!'
, ("M-S-c", kill)
and since I don't want to pres the mod key, just the mediakeys themselfes I thought I could directly write
..."<Mediakey>", spawn ...
But my code still won't work, but I get a new fancy error log:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:24:26:
Couldn't match type `[Char]' with `(ButtonMask, KeySym)'
Expected type: XConfig Layout -> M.Map (ButtonMask, KeySym) (X ())
Actual type: XConfig Layout -> M.Map [Char] (X ())
In the `keys' field of a record
In the expression:
defaultConfig {modMask = mod4Mask, keys = myKeys}
In an equation for `defaults':
defaults = defaultConfig {modMask = mod4Mask, keys = myKeys}
Please check the file for errors.
So apparently I don't use the right type since I was using the type char. However if I compare my code to the example I don't find a significan't difference(for the keymapping himself) except for not using the modkey. Is this perhaps the mistake? Doesen't this work without the modkey?

Copying files - basic stuff

I want to backup some new music files to an external disk. I've already dragged and dropped my original folders which worked fine. When I tried again (with a few files added to those same folders) instead of just copying the new files, Snow Leopard copied the entire lot again (took hours). As a Windows user before when I tried to copy folders that contained duplicates I could simply respond to a prompt asking me whether or not I wanted to overwrite existing files (if I said no it simply ignored these files and copied the rest - which is exactly what I want to do).
Is there an equivalent in Snow Leopard ?

Well, I've downloaded Carbon Copy Cleaner but instructions on use seem sparse.
My position;
1) The files I want to back up are on an external disk, a Vortexbox music server, in two folders (one for music files in FLAC format, the other for the same in MP3 format). I can quite happily manipulate stuff on it using Finder.
2) The destination I want to back up to is another hard disk, connected to the music server via USB.
So I simply want to be able to back up each folder in turn by copying the entire folder and letting CCC ignore copying any files that are not new or changed.
But I can't see where you can specify source and destination locations in CCC other than it assuming you want to back up files that are on the Mac's own hard disk.
But I'll keep looking . . .

Basic stuff -- BIOS version, Cool 'n' Quiet working?

Hi,
Okay, my new PC is up and running stable in WinXP Pro. Here are some very basic noob questions:
-How exactly do I determine my BIOS version? I thought I had v. 1.0 based on the loading screen during boot up, and SoftSandra, but MSI's Live Update says I have an equal or newer version than 1.2.
-How can I tell that Cool 'n Quiet is functioning properly? In Core Center, it appears that the CPU fan speed increases under load, but it doesn't happen right away so I'm not sure. Also, the CPU fan speed slider stays in the position I put it in manually, even after I switch back to Cool 'n Quiet (maybe this is just a GUI thing).
BTW -- I installed the Hyperion 4-in-1 drivers, enabled Cool 'n Quiet in the BIOS and set Windows power management to "minimal" -- is there anything else I need to do to enable Cool 'n Quiet functionality?
Also, should I just control the CPU fan manually through a drive bay fan controller instead of through Cool 'n Quiet?
Thanks,
-Ross

Hi
Glad to see we are down to minor bits and bobs.
The bios version should be at top of first post screen. use pause if its passes to quick.
BUT, live update checks what version you have, if there is a newer version it will tell you. there is a 1.33 available from MSI, but not on live update yet.
There are various threads on C & Q, I don't use it, but some who do like it, others confused by it, you have obviously read the threads. So you know more than me !!
Hyperion 4 in 1 is the best driver, if C & Q is working for you I would leave it be, the fan will speed up or slow down on temp. That will take a few secs time lag as chip heats up, or cools down. As long as CPU temp stays within norms, I would think is is working normally.
Enjoy it

Need Some Help with Basic Stuff

Hey-
I have a new Nano, 6 gen. I learned that there is no way to turn it of, except waiting around 32 hours, so I have just been tuning down the volume all the way, turn off the radio, naming sure no pedometer is on and something about autopsy or some other setting that I have not found yet. it seems OK once it does sleep but I use it a lot it has not really had 32-36 hours to fully sleep.
I am having trouble with synching it with iTunes. I followed the video on syncing, read the online manual but my knowledge with Apple iPods was nonexistent until now. The first time I synched it it copied all my podcasts (thinking it would not since it does not have video capabilities).
So with all the folders in iTunes on the left side starting with Music to Genius productions, to Playlists. is there anyway to get Purchased Items to upload to the iPod? that is probably the best "collection" of music I have that is in one Folder but the first time I synched it did not do anything with Purchased.
If I want all the yoga and slow music use to teach classes left out do I just uncheck the item? What about the first folder called Music? There is no way to put a check next to tis music unless I double click each cover and it opens in a new window.
Any easy way to get all the music I want to use when I workout to be on the Nano, minus the yoga and slower music, podcasts? Is it best to check ":fill empty space with music" or something like that? I checked that just to see but it did not fill the Nano, it just put everything I have in iTunes because everything has a check mark next to it by default, even all the podcasts, which I have about 100 podcasts, but I can't watch them so that was a mix-up.
Thanks in advance for anybody who knows an easy way (for a newbie with iPods) to get only the music I want to be transferred to the iPod?

ashtn,
Your actual code doesn't have extranious stars in it, does it?
have the same erasureHuh? Same as what?
That term erasure says (to me) there's something wrong with your override, like an extranious exception type.
See the [1.4 HttpServlet.doGet() API|http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.html#doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,%20javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)]. Your definition matches it, but are you using a J2EE 1.4 server? or an earlier version?
Just a guess... Keith.

Please help!!! I've erased all content in error! I thought I was resetting to factory settings!! I need to fix this as I've sold it on eBay!! Plz help!!

Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/modified/jailbroken and the
update relocked it to the original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that
wireless carrier can unlock it.
Where did you get this iPhone?
What wireless carrier are you attempting to use it with?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
I have asked the hosts to move this to the iPhone section as you are currently
in the iCloud forum and this is not an iCloud matter.

Help with KeyListener � basic stuff

I�m use to using the old method for controlling key events (see below) in simple game applets, but as its an old method and on its way out I�d like to know how to get the same simple functionality out of the new one using the KeyListener interface.
The old way:
public boolean keyDown(Event evt, int key)
switch (key) {
case Event.UP: move = up;
break;
case Event.DOWN: move = down;
break;
return true;
How could I set up the KeyPressed(KeyEvent e) to do the same?
Thanks.

Hi, I tried out the method you suggested and I couldn�t get it to work, the code I'm using is below:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class drawGame extends JComponent
                                   implements MouseMotionListener, KeyListener {
int bx,by;
public drawGame() {
addMouseMotionListener(this);
addKeyListener(this);
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
bx = e.getX();
by = e.getY();
repaint();
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
int key = e.getKeyCode();
switch (key) {
   case KeyEvent.VK_UP :
   case KeyEvent.VK_KP_UP: by--;
break;
   case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN :
   case KeyEvent.VK_KP_DOWN: by++;
break;
repaint();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getSize( ).width, getSize( ).height);
g.setColor(Color.orange);
g.fillOval(bx,by,30,30);
g.drawString("bx = "+ bx +" by = "+ by, 10, 10);
// new .java file
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class setWin {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame gwin = new JFrame("Game Window");
Container content = gwin.getContentPane();
content.setLayout( new BorderLayout());
content.add(new drawGame());
gwin.setContentPane(content);
gwin.setSize(400, 400);
gwin.setLocation(100, 100);
gwin.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
gwin.setVisible(true);
}It's odd because the mouseListener works and lets you drag the oval around, but I can�t get any response from the keyListener, I also tried using this method:
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){
char ckey = e.getKeyChar();
switch(ckey) {
case 'u': by++;
break;
}Same result, nothing happened.
Can anyone show me what I�m doing wrong? I would really like to get the oval to move around with key presses, and if you spot anything stupid in the above code let me know, it would be a great help, thanks.

I Check: Include Unicode Signature (BOM)
There's no reason to use BOM Unicode Signature in plain HTML documents.
It's actually better if you don't specify this.
I am also getting files that look like: ../../../filename.html

Confused with Mainstage! Basic stuff

Hi there, I have recently bought Logic 9 and love the look of Mainstage 2 however when I'm setting up my set I run into some really confusing problems I hope you can help me with.
I add a set and name it the title of the song we're playing, I then add two patches each with 2 midi instruments inside. Each of the patches should have 2 different midi instruments in. However once I have added them all it only ever shows the last 2 I have added. Am I adding them correct or have I got this completely the wrong way round?
I have gone through the manual and the more I read the more confused I become.
What I'm trying to achieve is to have numerous songs, each with their relevant sections inside as patches. Some sections have 2 midi instruments, some have 1. There will be around 10 songs once completed.

It sounds like you are adding them correctly. If you have a Patch selected, it will only show you the strips that you added to that Patch. If you want strips to be available to multiple patches, you'd add them at the Set level by selecting the Set and adding the strip. I recommend adding strips at the Set level if they're common across the Patches inside that strip, because it will only load the resources for that strip once which will save resources and improve performance.
I think you're doing the right thing (Set for each song, Patch for each section of the song). The thing to remember is that channel strips get added to Set or Patch you currently have selected, and those strips are only available to the thing you have selected or its parents.

this is understable because of "When downsizing, neighboring pixels will be beldned ito one and their colros mixed, when upsizing the program has to make up pixels to fill the gaps" -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338138#5338138
though much of the resizing won't cause any significant (meaning noticeable) lose of quality on the screen (and i guess in print) unless you enlarge the photo alot
question: so if you don't know what is the visual quality of a photo, and say you are like most ppl, who dont have a photographer's eye, what are other effective ways to determine this? is there a program that can output a number which indicates the photo's visual quality?
question: to pick a size where visual quality is still good, there are general rules like the one for printing -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5340231#5340231 -- how about digitally? on the computer screen? this is about picking the right size
a related question: when you enlarge a photo, the data (bytes) increases which means that data does not correspond with visual quality because enlarging actually decrease the visual/digital quality. so if we can't use data to get a feel for the visual quality, what can we do? (actually that's basically getting to the same question as the first one, just asked from a different approach)
solved-question: most of the comments in the answers linked above talked about increasing visual quality which had nothing to do with the goal or the question asked. so the question on increasing visual quality is solved, with the answer being "there are currently ways, none of which are really promising"
question: is it really true that none of adobe's products can easiely do the simple and common and important problem of ** batch resize ** ? -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5341155
honestly all these questions are very basic, and im sure by 2013 there's at least one good guide covering all these basic basic stuff -- just link to your wonderful & ** concise ** guide on your blog, this forum from years ago, or wherever
I VALUE YOUR TIME AND SO SHOULD YOU -- GOOD GUIDES ARE THE BEST

It's too late and I'm too tired to hit everything in your message above, but I do want to answer this one:

In Photoshop, check out File - Scripts - Image Processor. I think it may answer your needs.
But if Image Processor doesn't quite get you there, Dr. Russell Brown (with Adobe) has published an Image Processor Pro script that's amazing in its capability. You can find that (for free) here:
