Can't figure out why I'm getting this error on New-ADUser

I think it has something to do with the way I'm specifying the "path" but i'm not sure.
The user should be created in an OU: CompanyName > Users > Providers
The domain is intranet.companyname.com

Hi,
Instead of ou=CompanyName,ou=Users,ou=Providers,DN=intranet,DN=CompanyName,DN=com, try ou=CompanyName,ou=Users,ou=Providers,DC=intranet,DC=CompanyName,DC=com.

Can't figure out why I am receiving this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at House.getFloorSpace(House.java:38)
at Test.main(Test.java:14)
Should I put the setRooms method in the room class or house class? Should I pass an array of rooms to the getFloorSpace method? Can the code be cleaned up? And most importantly, why is that error happening?
Thanks for the help.

Room objects...

rooms[i] == new Room( your args to create a room... );
Bet you don't get any thanks for this either!

Can't figure out why my navbar gets all pixelated online?

Hi Everyone,
I'm designing a floating site. My workflow is PS=====>Fireworks====>Dreamweaver. I made a navbar in FW with a transparent background and exported html to dreamweaver. I inserted the fireworks htm, put it online and it looks terrible. You can see it here:
http://www.njtraininggrounds.com/thirddaydesign.com/identity.html
Don't worry about the portfolio button, I know what's going on there. But I can't figure out why there is "stairstepping" on the logo and on all the navbar buttons. This is the first time I've ever created a floating site. I just put a jpeg for repeat using the dreamweaver css, and then inserted the rest in a table.
Could anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much.
Wil

There's no problem with using PNG8, PNG24, or PNG32, other than the huge
weight of the latter two. But there's no need to go PNG here.
Personnaly I see only advantages in using PNG. The good thing about using PNG for graphics like this is that it does not tie you to a background with a certain color. like a GIF with a colored matte does. Should you wish to change your background color later you can keep on using your menu buttons. There is no need to prepare new graphics for the menu just because you change a background color or image.
As for the "huge" weight of the PNG file, I'd say that depends on your definition of "huge"
If you compare the filesizes of a simple graphic like that, I see no big improvement by using GIF.

Well, one extreme that I eventually had to go to was inserting a new row with only the primary keys, which were numerical columns, while just setting the strings to empty values.
INSERT INTO Courses VALUES(?,?,?,1,0,?,'','','','','','','','','')
Access finally seemed to handle this without barfing.
Then, I updated each string column ...if you can believe it ...one at a time in a for loop from a custom 'RowUpdateSet' object. This actually worked well because eventually I also used it to update the row when necessary, and to only update columns whose values had changed. One teeny weeny snippet from a great deal of code looked like this...
for ( int i=1; i<length; i++ ) {
    if ( updateSet.getUpdateColumn( i ) ) {
      synchronized ( updateSet ) {
        scrollResults.updateObject(i,(String)updateSet.getUpdateValue(i));
        scrollResults.updateRow();
}I guess I will likely get flamed for participating in this whole discussion, because it all does become quite irrational. I can see why peoples initial response is likely ..."what, couldn't you even debug your own sql string bozo?" All I know is, there seems to be insert statements that Access just mysteriously refuses to perform ...and it has nothing to do with terminated strings or syntax errors. How you choose to perservere and 'get the job done' is probably as unique to each individual as is the whole mysterious error in the first place. I just got tired of staring at what appeared to be a totally disfunctional environment and decided to go around the problem and get done with the project ...which eventually worked like a charm.
This is exactly what I meant when I said don't look too closely or you might wind up distrusting this technology you are working with on a day to day basis. Frankly, the more I work with technology the more I realize that I, for example, will never use my credit card over the web (particularly with .NET in the picture). I am sure you can find another way to get to the results you want if you think about it creatively. I got my project done. I just didn't get there in the way I had expected I would. Maybe that's not even a bad thing, even though it can be extremely frustrating at times. When we look at all the disclaimers that come with software these days, or look at faster and faster computers that just run slower and slower, maybe we shouldn't expect so much from technology. At least Java allows you to write your own logic and often work around these impediments ...which is still alot better than being stuck with .COM libraries that force you to abandon a project half way through when you find out the library fails to live up to its claims in the reference manual.
Sorry your project is on hold at the moment. If no one else answers, start a new thread that asks your question again, and I will butt out. Maybe there is someone who has found out what causes this issue. After all, I can only speak from my own experiences ...and I am far from being an authority on any issue surrounding technology. Good luck, and don't give up. I am sure there is a way to get where you want to go.
After saying all that, I realize kev wrote a response while I was composing this one. As he implores, yes ...do be certain you have eliminated all the obvious possibilities before you adventure into any painfull work-arounds. Really, I wish you all the best of luck.

Please can someone tell me why I am getting this error?

I want to call a method (setSquare()) when a JLabel is clicked by the user, the following code should work:
*private void grid11MouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {*
setSquare();
But I get this error, please can someone tell me what this means? The method is already defined in the class and I have imported javax.swing etc
Frame.java:181: setSquare(javax.swing.JLabel) in p1.Frame cannot be applied to ()

As i dont know what that method needs i can't help you there but i do know you cannot leave it blank. Try adding a number/text whatever or null and see what it does. or check the api and take a look what it needs.

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error when trying to make visibility variables

I have set these up in previous versions of Illustrator. CS and illustrator 10 worked just fine with Variables. Now I can't seem to switch between data sets. I just keep getting this error when I try to switch from one data set to another.

I'll start with the permissions and see if it changes the behavior.

I can't figure out why I'm getting a Null Pointer Exception

I'm writing a program that calls Bingo numbers. I got that part of the program to work but when I started adding Swing I kept getting a Null Pointer Exception and I don't know how to fix it. The Exception happens on line 15 of class Panel (g = image.getGraphics();). Here is the code for my classes.

}

The javadoc of createImage() states that "The return value may be null if the component is not displayable."
Not sure, but it may be that you need to call init() after this.setVisible(true).

I'm trying to play audio using a MovieClip object. I have multiple other objects with the exact same code, just changing the variables, working perfectly.
All it says is:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@1327340d1 to flash.media.Sound.
at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite()
at flash.display::MovieClip()
at Unit2_AudioFail_fla::MainTimeline()
help please

You appear to be naming the buttons the same as the Sound objects. You will need to define different names for one or the other.

Can someone tell me why i am getting this error

helo, I am trying to write 3 seperate classes and use inheritence between them, a small brek down is class Thought is suppose to have a method messege that prints out "I'm a teacher" and slass Advice is suppose to be a subclass of Thought and suppose to have the same method ut to print out "I'm your student" and class Message is suppose to have a main method that instantiates the two other classes and makes them work. I have written the code, this should have been simple, but these are the errors i am getting when compiling Messeges:
Messages.java [14:1] variable thought might not have been initialized
output =thought.Message() + "\n" +advice.Message();
^
Messages.java [14:1] variable advice might not have been initialized
output =thought.Message() + "\n" +advice.Message();
Here is the code"
public class Thought{
protected String message="";
public String Message()
    message="I'm a teacher.";
    return message;
}//end class
public class Advice extends Thought{
private String message="";
public String Message()
message="I'm your student.";
    return message;
}//end class
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Messages
    public static void main(String args[])
Thought thought;
Advice advice;
String output="";
output =thought.Message() + "\n" +advice.Message();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,output,"Inheritence",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
System.exit(0);
}//end main
}//end classAny help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I had gone through the code you have posted and I agree with atmguy that the errors that were thrown were due to the fact that you have not initialized the objects from the main method. You have to use the new keyword to inityialize the objects that you are creating.
Secondly you have stated that you have used inheritance and created three classes. But I find that the inheritance has not been practised at all. Try removing the "extends Thought" portion and then also your code would work just fine. It is as good as creating two seprate classes and using them from a third containing the main function. Hope this clears all your querries.
cheers

Can someone tell me why we are getting this error message when users try to open?

It was created in LiveCycle and Reader Extensions were given before posting it to the website. Normally if you open in Firefox or IE, it will work (sometimes).

We would also really appreciate an answer to this question. We are having the exact same issue with some new forms we have created. They were created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4, and then usage rights were extended in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
When this issue is encountered we send the old version of the form, it was created using the same process a number of years ago, so the only difference is that we were using older versions of both programs. The same recipients who have an issue with the new form are always able to open the old forms.
Help! Does anyone have a solution. Thanks very much!

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

Almost every time my daughter FaceTimes me, another person answers and he is getting very annoyed. I have checked my settings and can't figure out why this is happening.

Is she facetiming your phone number or email address, b/c email address should not do that.. Was there an old iPhone associated with your number or email? I've seen texts show up on long "deactivated" devices..

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Can't figure out why my iMac is so slow

My 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac has suddenly slowed to a crawl, and I can't figure out why. Opening anything (including a Finder window) results in a 30 second to 5 minute lag. I've seen the spinner more in the last month than I did in the previous 4+ years of owning it.
Since it's my spare machine now, I completely re-formatted the hard drive and did a fresh install of 10.4.7 from the discs it shipped with. I have run the Apple Hardware Test, and everything tests OK. Disk Utility tells me there's nothing wrong with the disk, and all permissions are good. What am I missing?

Earl...
I know you said you reformatted the drive but just in case, how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
fresh install of 10.4.7
Most recent version for Tiger is v10.4.11. Have you tried updating the software from the Apple menu > Software Update?
