Can anyone help me with something? I need to make a hole in a JPanel -_-

Hi everyone,
First of all, this is my first time writing here. Nevertheless, my knowledge about Java is not vast but still it helps me somehow. My problem is, I am writing a program that has a JFrame with a JPanel added to it and I need to draw a visual object to the top with a circle between JPanel and the object. It's like old James Bond intros you see; black screen with moving white circle with James Bond in the middle, moving with the spotlight. In fact, what I did was nothing more than putting a JPanel with black background and a white oval with same coordinates with the object. Although it gave something nice as I described above, I can't put any other objects to be hidden behind the black JPanel. It seems I got to drill the JPanel to see the white frame background to put my Bond there and put every other objects behind the JPanel. My aim is that other things will appear, emerge when they come to white circle(white light as I call it). I can move other objects, I just need them to be hidden behind the curtain. Can anyone help? I hope I described clearly.
Regards,

Your question may be better aske over at Illustrator

    My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable.  When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

    Hello,
    That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
    See if DU even sees it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad.  Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting I need to check?

    Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this?  Is there a setting that I need to check?

    All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
    Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
    Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
    Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

  • Can anyone help me with obtaining a product key for windows 8???? uummmmmm...I lost mine or something,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    downloaded windows 8 pro pack ISO supposedly with working product key .....surprisingly it doesn't work... can anyone help me with related issues or advice????

    Cool Guy Chris,
    According to the
    Windows 8.1 Activation Errors webpage, if your current activation key doesn’t work, you’ll need to purchase a new one.
    In order to get a new activation key, you’ll need to contact a
    Microsoft Customer Support Representative.
    I hope this helps!

    If you downloaded it to your iTunes library it will be in the Movies folder.  If you downloaded it to an iOS device you will find it in the Videos app.  This explains how to redownload previously purchased videos (available in some locations as long as the studio permits it): http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

  • Can anyone help me with Bakcing up my MacBook Pro???

    Can anyone help me with Bakcing up my MacBook Pro???

    Assuming you're looking for recommendations rather than experiencing specific problems, I would advise the following:
    Buy 2 external hard disks. You don't say what model of MBP you have, but I would suggest buying the fastest type of drive your MBP supports. So, instead of going for a cheap USB2 drive, I would consider FW800 or Thunderbolt if your MBP supports it. It might cost more but will be faster.
    One of the drives needs to be only as big as your internal HD. (Technically, it only needs to be as big as the amount of data you want to back up but to be safe, get one that matches your HD size). This HD can be used for a Bootable Clone. I use SuperDuper from Shirt Pocket, and a Freecom 1GB FireWire 800 drive. You can try it out for free, but it's worth buying a licence because once it's licenced you can do 'smart backups' where it only needs to copy files that have changed. The free version will have to do an entire clone each time which takes longer.
    The second drive you should use as a Time Machine backup. The bigger this is, the more backups you can keep, so the further back in time you can go.
    The reason to have both is that they both do different things.
    SuperDuper is great for doing a complete 'emergency' backup every so often (i.e. before you go away, or at the end of each week, whatever). This disk means that if your MBP is lost, stolen or the HD goes pop, you can recover pretty much the whole system immediately, because you can boot from that drive on any Intel Mac that supports your bus type and OS version. I do an SD clone every so often and keep it hidden, in case anything happens to my MBP.
    Time Machine backups are NOT bootable. However, in an emergency you can do a clean install of your OS and then get everything back by migrating from your last TM backup. But the best and most common use of TM backups is simply 'turning back the clock', i.e. you deleted something you wished you hadn't, or even saved over a piece of work you didn't mean to, or installed some software that has caused problems. As long as there was a recent TM backup, you can just get the older version of that file, or revert your whole system. I carry my TM drive around with me in my laptop bag and have it sat there attached and backing up the whole time I'm working.
    Well worth having both strategies in place.
    As an aside, if you keep confidential files (client or personal) on your MBP and carry it around somewhere like London as I do, it's also worth considering using FileVault so if your lappy gets nicked you don't have to worry about them getting at all your info. And if you have a clone at home, in the worst instance, all you really have to worry about is just buying a new laptop and restoring it. Expensive, sure, but at least your data is safe.

  • Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently on have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow.

    Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently only have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow. I check in my system profiler and it shows I do have a memory slot open. It is using a DDR2 and I was told that the latest are DDR3 and I need to find out if I can run that on my model number. This info came from a tech guy at best buy.

    That is what I needed.  You can upgrade to a maximum of 6gb of ram and need the following type:
    200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  You can easily find it online, here is an example: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400

  • TS3694 error 21 can anyone help me with this?

    Can anyone help me with an error message i get with my iphone, it say error 21 after trying to restore the phone though itunes.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    I think you have to sign into your Amazon Kindle Account, find the book in your archive and delete it there.  Otherwise you can delete it from the device and leave it in the archive, should you want to look at it again.

  • Can anyone help me with a repeating pattern that is staggered?

    Can anyone help me with a repeating pattern that is staggered and must be aligned perfectly while staggered. Is there a way to do this? I keep staggering it by eyeball and need it to be accurate and each row is offset.
    My art board is 19.25x11.50 I have a repeating logo and name underneath (hard to see) I am setting this up for a print design to go onto tissue paper for insert into a shoe box. Any help is greatly appreciated?
    Thanks,

    Option drag your object horizontally to make a copy or use Move and copy if you need a precise increment. The hit Cmd+D a few times to make duplicates with the same spacing.
    Hit Enter again and make a note of the increment on a piece of paper. Cancel.
    Select everything and use the same increment, now in a vertical direction, to make 2 further copies.
    Take the middle row and move it horizontally by half of the increment. This means that the circles in the middle row are positioned horizontally half way between those in the other two rows.
    Draw your defining rectangle so that its corners are on the centres of those 4 circles. (This gives you its right size but you may possibly need to move it a bit.) Send it to the back of your stack.
    Drag those 8 circles and the rectangle to your Swatches panel.
    (If you’re on Windows read Ctrl instead of Cmd and Alt instead of Option.)
