  • Can someone explain what (((JTextField) event.getSource()).getText()) does?

    I don't know what the casting(?) with JTextField is doing...
    Here is the code snippet:
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
    int convertTemp, temp;
    temp = Integer.parseInt( ( ( JTextField ) event.getSource() ).getText() );

    Also, why doesn't event.getSource() return the specific source data type?Good question. In one sense it does return a JTextField. But it does so at runtime; long after the compiler has done its thing. The compiler deals with declarations only and doesn't try and predict the future runtime behaviour. (Consider the case of "skins" and things where the end user can replace your JTextField with some other GUI widget, presumably a subclass of JTextField. In that case event.getSource() will return a UserDefinedTextFieldWidget).
    As you say, the API says that the return type is declare as Object. Presumabley this is because they wanted to write a general purpose event notifying system where the "source" identifier could be anything at all. And its that declaration alone that counts for the Java compiler. Two things follow:
    (1) The programmer will be allowed to cast the returned thing to any type whatsoever - thereby allowing the API writers' intention to provide a general purpose notifying mechanism to be realised.
    (2) The programmer must cast since all the mechanism promises is a "bland Object" (though at runtime it will return some more specific type)
    It's a question of balance. Had event.getSource() returned a Component you would have been able to use at least the Component methods without casting. But, in that case the mechanism would not have been as general. (The source could not be identified as an id in some database, for instance.)

  • I have downloaded ios 5.1.1 and the wifi has stop working or it would stay on for less then 20min its only 9 months old can someone explain what is happening and if some know how to fix it

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can someone explain purchasing, activating and signing up for iPhone.

    Hi, iPhone hits UK in November and I'd like to be prepared. Can someone explain to me how it's going to work. In the USA where do you buy the phone - the Apple store, and what do you do just walk in a buy the actual phone as if it were an iPod? And then how does activation work? What is it, just registering the iPhone with Apple or signing up with the network provider? What stops you from just buying the phone and putting another AT&T or O2 sim in and not signing up for one of the contracts?

    Presuming that it will look pretty much the same as it did for US customers, it will be something like this..
    You walk into your local Apple store and purchase an iPhone, or you can order one through the UK online Apple store (or, presumably, O2 will sell them in their local shops).
    You connect the iPhone to any computer which meets the minumum system requirements. It will recognize a new, unactivated iPhone and take you through the activation, which includes:
    1. Entering your name, address, and payment info
    2. Create an iTunes Music Store account if you do not already have one
    3. Select which type of call plan you want (how many call minutes, how many text messages, etc)
    4. Specifying whether you want a new number assigned or want to port your number from another provider (assuming this can be done in the UK)
    You will then wait while the activation is completed, which can take several minutes. Once your phone is activated you will be able to make calls, send text messages, and use all the other functions of the iPhone, including syncing your contacts, calendars, and music to it. If you are porting a number from another service, once the port is complete you will be able to receive calls. If you are being assigned a new phone number, you will be able to receive calls right away.

  • Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi  hotspot?

    Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

    Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
    You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
    It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
    A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Updated to Yosemite recently, keep on getting efi and kernel panics. Can someone explain what this report means?

    This is the crash report I just got. I am just doing random work and this happens. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what this means. I have fixed my computer with DiskWarrior 3 times but this just keeps happening. I also have bootcamp and it's doing absolutely fine.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
    You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

  • Streaming, can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

    I have two ATVs both synced to one computer. I have a large music library on a second computer but can't find how to stream to one of the ATVs.
    I followed the instructions in the booklet, opened iTunes on the relevant computer, chose sources on the ATV, "Connect to New iTunes" and noted the passcode, selected the ATV icon and "Click to set up", entered the passcode and the ATV icon disappeared. "My Library" shows in the sources but the ATV icon only re-appears on the computer if I switch to "Connect to New iTunes". If I then click on the icon the ATV page opens up with details of the ATV and a message saying that the ATV icon will only appear when "My Library" is selected on the ATV, but as soon as I do that the ATV icon disappears. The help file says in System Preferences sharing pane make sure "iTunes Music Sharing" is on! There is no "iTunes Music Sharing"!!
    Please, can someone take this idiot through the process step by step, including how you start streaming once you have successfully made the connection?

    Glad to see everything is starting to work out.
    You might consider two user accounts (that's logins) with a music library in each. It's a little more work to operate, but probably less than having two libraries in one user account and providing both users are logged in and have itunes running you should get both libraries available to you at the same time on the tv (obviously you would need to switch between them on the tv).
    Otherwise I'd consolidate them by opening itunes (with library 1) and then dragging and dropping the music files from the music folder of library 2 onto itunes, I'd start by doing a few tunes to satisfy yourself that all is OK, you can probably do them in large chunks but I'd probably not drag them all at once, if something did go wrong you probably wouldn't lose any files but it might be difficult to figure out what files had been added and which hadn't before the problem occurred.

  • Can someone explain what Automater is to me, in simple terms?

    Hi, anyone out there wanna explain what Automater is for what it does etc.
    Thanks in advance
    Tracy

    Hi Tracy
    Launch Automator and select "Help Viewer Help?" from the Help Menu. One of the things you'll see listed there is:
    *+Discover Automator+*
    +Create time-saving automations without programming a single line of code.+
    I'm currently on a mac running 10.4 but I can't see it being that different for 10.5? If you click on the link you get this explanation:
    +Automator is an innovative personal automation assistant that makes it easy to automate repetitive tasks. Automator lets you skip the complex programming and scripting that is normally required to create automations. Individual steps called actions can be assembled into a complete task by dragging actions into an Automator workflow. You can run your completed workflows repeatedly, and even share them with others.+
    If you scroll down that help page there are more explanations and examples. Is that simple enough for you?

  • Can someone explain what "gfx-surface-win32" is in about:memory?

    I have an extension that causes "gfx-surface-win32" in about:memory to use excessive amounts of memory. I have tried to contact the developer of the extension without any success. I was going to try and see if I could fix it but I can figure out what "gfx-surface-win32" is. Can some please explain what this is?

    It's a graphics memory usage. The only solution I see is to [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?|update your graphics drivers]] because it's not recommended to change an extension you are not going to maintain.
    Note that in Firefox 15 (released on August 28), leaky extensions won't leak in Firefox. See [http://blog.kylehuey.com/post/21892343371/fixing-the-memory-leak Kyle Huey's blog post].

  • Bluetooth: can someone explain what you can do with it?

    On the iPhone, is bluetooth only for pairing with a BT headset? no data transferring/receiving whatsoever with a powerbook? if so, has Apple gone mad?
    thanks

    It is easier to explain what it cannot do.
    • it does not support OBEX file exchanges
    • it does not support DUN connections via Bluetooth to connect your computer through it to the internet
    • it does not synchronize contact, events or media files
    Support for synchronization and file transfer it available only via USB through iTunes 7.3 or later.

    Can someone give me a brief and succint description and tutorial on how Time Machine snapshots work?
    I use Time Machine (on Mac OS X obviously, ML 10.8.4) to backup my HD onto a separate external drive at least once a week.
    However, like so many other users I'm online in a variety of places so most of the time (about 99%) my laptop isn't able to be connected to the external designated for HD backups and I've heard and read that the application Time Machine can use "snapshots" to create temporary backups to hold until you've connected your external the next time.
    I wonder how that works?
    How do I go about setting up this snapshot option so that my laptop can be regularly backing up my files without me having to be tethered to the external at the same time?
    Won't that fill up my entire drive due to virtual memory or sleepimage or swapfiles or something along those lines?
    And last but certainly not least, how can the user take use of this option but also prevent the TM snapshots from hogging every availabe byte of memory.

    That's how it works.

    Local snapshots are made automatically in portable Macs with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. Simply disconnect the Time Machine drive from your Mac and your Mac will start making local snapshots.

    These snapshots are stored in the hard drive and they consume a lot of space, as they are backing up the whole hard drive. A lot of users complain about the space they take, but in general, you don't have to worry. See below.

    Local snpashots will be deleted automatically when the hard drive is full, so don't worry about it. If you want to remove them, simply open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn it off. Leave it for some minutes or hours, and turn on Time Machine again, but there's no reason to do that

  • Can someone explain what Apple did to remedy the battery life in version 1?

    My original post got deleted...i guess it violated the TOS for "ranting" and "speculation".
    Yes, the 3g iPhone is an amazing piece of technology with MANY features....but I simply cannot use them and expect it to be a dependable functional telephone at the same time. For years, I have had phones that remain on standby possibly for days, make lots of calls, do lots of texting, browse the net...etc...you get the point.
    I purchased the iphone for the push feature, the 3G feature, the wifi feature and the ability to use it as a telephone ......dependably. I work on-call and need to have a phone on at all times day or night. I charge my phones overnight but still have NEVER had a phone lose a charge as quickly as the iPhone does.
    Apple's solution right now is to turn off all the features that make the phone so attractive in the first place.
    I suspect that I am like a lot of others in that I did not buy this PHONE (yes, it is a phone after all and should have adequate battery life to serve as a phone) to selectively and actively take the time in between calling, browsing, etc. to remember to turn wifi on and off, turn my 3G network on and off and then manually push email. This kind of defeats the purpose.
    Is there something Apple can do to remedy this situation via software updates or are some of has hoping for a pipe dream that simply will/cannot happen? I know with the first iPhone there were updates that dealt with battery life. Does anybody know what the formaer updates did physically? I hope something can be done with the 3g version, because right now it is not usable and may need to be returned.
    Any software/hardware engineer types out there who can advise if this is indeed a fixable thing or should I return the phone? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to keep this thing, but as it is now, it is totally not usable for me.
    Thanks for reading. . . .hope there is a solution!
    (hope this isn't "too speculative" to be tossed again for violating the TOS)

    I suspect this is your first 3G phone and if so, this is a common problem with all 3G phones and a big complaint. Other 3G phones have a swappable battery which having is a requirement. Since the iPhone does not have a swappable battery, an extra wall charger or keeping the wall charger handy is required. Or having a computer nearby with a USB port along with having a vehicle charger.
    If you aren't interested in turning off available features to conserve battery when needed or wanted, and you use your iPhone regulary for web and email account access via 3G, the battery won't last the day - which is the same for any 3G smart phone. With no swappable battery, if the other alternatives are not acceptable, you should return it.

  • Can someone explain what the new feature "Webform Security" is for?

    I notice there is a new field called "Webform Security" which inserts { module_ccsecurity ] into the form code but I have no idea what this is for and there is no reference to this module in the knowledgebase.
    Can anyone offer some details?

    Log into your bank, stay logged in and open a new tab. Then visit another site on the internet.
    Now lets pretend that on this other site, someone (like the site administrator or a commentor) included a link that pointed to a url such as http://www.YourBank.com/TransferMoney?FromAccount=12345&ToAccount=54321&Amount=1000 and then you clicked the link, the bank would think you were making a legitimate transfer request becuase you were still logged in.
    Fair enough, but you probably wouldn't click that link because you're smarter than that.  Unfortunately your browser isn't so smart, and it doesn't have to be a link.   They could have included an image tag, or css style sheet or javascript file that pointed to that url and your browser would have automatically "clicked" the link on your behalf when it tried to download the resource.
    Thats CSRF in a nutshell.
    There are ways to mitigate this danger, but its up to site owner (the bank in this example) to make sure this can't happen. As an end user it's mostly out of your hands. This tag appears to be BC's way to mitigate this, and it appears to be similar to other soultions to this problem.
    I don't know if it works though, it's not docummented, so your guess is as good as mine.  Either way its probably a good idea to include it on your forms.

    When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the Setup Assistant will walk you through entering account information or turning on certain features. If you skip setup, you can always go back and enter details or make changes by following the steps outlined in these articles:
    Connecting to the Internet
    Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID
    Setting up iCloud
    Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPhone
    Activating iPhone with your carrier
    During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPhone by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes
