Book excerpt about Collections

http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/javaobjects/ch06final.pdf
Nowhere in this free chapter does the author advise to declare Collections by specifying the least specialized type possible
it's always something like :
ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
// using Collection methods only, like "add()"...By doing so, aren't we losing one of the most interesting aspect of Collections : designing by contract and being able to swap implementations as the needs change ?
Do you think this is irrelevant in a chapter about collections but belongs to a pure OO chapter ?
Just wondering...

I've only skipped the chapter, so I might miss anything. But I'll give you my two Euro-Cents nevertheless:
- I think it should be mentioned in the chapter, even 'though that chapter obviously is not about that specific concept. More importantly the chapter should really use that paradigm throughout it's example code. I think in this case giving correct examples is much better than repeating the message again and again.
- The chapter does mention using a simple wrapper about the list to hide away the use of the concrete list implementation in favour of a more business-orientet interface (Transcript+TranscriptEntry vs. ArrayList<TranscriptEntry>). IMO that is another approach to the same "problem".

How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?

How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?
I have a number of fonts (approx. 500) on my work laptop which are sorted to different Collections. I'd like to have a copy of the Font Book library with Collections on the laptop I use at home to work. I'd think there was a more straight forward way to do it, but I haven't found any posts regarding the matter so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To anyone who is reading this based on needing to copy their Font Book to another machine as I do, there is a way to make a copy of the fonts in Font Book by going to file/export fonts. Keep in mind that you will need to have all the fonts selected (command A) in your "All Fonts" list for them to be exported. You will then have a new folder saved to where ever you chose, with all your Font Book fonts in it.

IBooks 3.1-all PDF books in my Collections disappear after updating to 3.1 on iPad 4 ios 6.1.2! How do I recover or revert to previous version? (Can one do selective restore of back on iTunes?)

Just updated iBooks app on my iPad 4 to ver 3.1. Upon launching iBooks 3.1 briefly saw my PDF books on my Collections bookshelves then they suddenly disappeared! (Purchased Books are still present)
How do I recover all my PDF titles in my Collections?
Can one revert to the previous version of iBooks?
How can one do a selective restore from iTunes backup of iPad on PC? (Don't have iBooks running on Mac/PC)

You've tried tapping on the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf to see if they are in a different collection ? If not then do you have a copy of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (though PDFs aren't iTunes purchases, if you've done 'transfer purchases' whilst they were on the iPad then they should have copied over) ?
ibooks and PDFs aren't included in a device's backup, so if they aren't in your computer's iTunes library and/or you don't have your own backup copy of them then they won't be on your computer (for info there isn't an iBooks app/program for a Mac or PC).

In iBooks is there a way to view what book is about?

In iBooks I have slot of books it would be nice to see what the book was about. I hate that I have to go to barnes and nobles website to view a summary for each of my books to see if I want to read that one.

You can't do it without opening the book. If you'd like to request this of Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html. But since they don't provide this for any other media, i wouldn't count on it any time soon - I don't think it's a feature many people feel a need for. :-)

I want to get rid of a book in the iBooks "Purchased" collection, but when I touch the Edit button and select the book and then touch the Delete button, then the "Delete this copy" seletion, nothing happens. How do I delete the book from the collection?

The Cloud by the song indicates that is is an iTunes purchase but it is not downloaded on the iPod. If you only want download iTunes purchases to show in the Music app go to Settings>itunes and pp Store and turn off Show aLL.

Can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

The collection changes a little by the criteria you use to view the books, and you can view them by Title, Author, and Category. So, yes, you can.
The default view is Book view. On the upper right part of the page, you'll see four white blocks - that's the icon for book view. The icon on the right has three white lines; that's where you find Title, Author, and Category view. You can't create folders in any view.

Can you rename the Personal Address Book and the Collected Address Book?

I would like to rename my Personal Address Book and my Collected Address Book for aesthetic reasons - is it possible and how do you do it?

You can rename them but it is not recommended. What purpose is served by renaming the default books? You can create new books and name them anything you like.

I wiped my Mac book Pro about 45 days by mistake ago and then when I started it up again after my apple ID wouldn't work on anything on my mac i.e. Aps store sign in, I tunes Sign in etc... can anyone help?

I wiped my Mac book Pro about 45 days by mistake ago and then when I started it up again after my apple ID wouldn't work on anything on my mac i.e. Aps store sign in, I tunes Sign in etc... can anyone help? I dont know what to do...
On the itunes store it says error 5002

I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.

HT5557 How do I move a book from one collection to another one?

I can move a book around within a collection, but I would like to sort my books by author or subject. I know how to create a collection or folder.

Ok, so I explored a bit more and found the edit button. Problem solved.

How do I add books to a collection in iBooks 3.2?

I have made a collection, but I don't see how I add specific books to it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Select Edit on the right hand side, tap on the book/s, select Move, then you can either put it in another Collection or create a new one.
ps: I'm using 5.1.1 so it could be different.

I cannot access books in my collections starting from D to Z

My collections only shows authoe from a to c.
Where are the books

I have this problem too. I can still get to the collections by swiping across the bookshelf but not from the list. From other discussions it looks like there’s a limit on the number of collections: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23794822#23794822.
May not work for you, but I moved books out of some of my smaller collections and then deleted those collections. That way I can access the collections farther down the list. If you don’t want to delete collections, the books still show up in search.

IPhoto '11 quits unexpectedly when ordering a book, gets about 2 pages loaded and then quits.

IPhoto '11 quits unexpectedly when I place an order for a book. After about 2 pages are uploaded or processed (the first step) iPhoto quits. Software is up to date and I have ordered books before in earlier versions of iPhoto. This is the first order in iPhoto '11.
iPhoto has quit unexpectedly before but this is consistent when ordering a book.

I have the exact same problem. If you try to "export as PDF" the same thing happens even with a new book project with no text and no photos. (You can make a PDF via the print command but that doesn't help much when ordering a book.)
I deleted the iPhoto plist, did a restart, checked for bad fonts, checked and rebuilt the iPhoto library, tried signing in as a different user, checked for updates, repaired permissions, all to no avail. (I don't have any third party iPhoto plug-ins.)
I happened to have another hard drive with a fresh OS on it - I installed iLife on it, did a software update. I opened iPhoto and picked my existing library and everything worked with out an issue and I was able to order my book.
I assume that there is a software conflict in my system, I just don't have an idea what it could be.
I think I'll wait for 10.7 and get a new hard drive and get a fresh start - unless someone can come up with a solution...

How to add books to a Collection directly

The way the software seems to work, you add books to the library, then add them to a collection.
This will not work for me, as I have thousands of books, all neatly sorted in directories. If I add them all, I will have to manually figure out which collection to put them in.
Is there a way to add books directly to a collection?

The following article gives instructions on how to create and add to collections on your Sony Reader:

There currently is no method for converting a computer's folder structure to create collections on your Reader automatically, you will need to transfer the files first and then add them to collections.
