Can't figure this one out - Buddies all grayed out - show offline.

Just helped setup a new Mac convert and I am at a loss to get his iChat to connect. His new broadband connection is Cox cable using a Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 Series. Web browsing is good and fast. When I carefully set up his Buddy list, and have the iMac firewall off, the Buddies remain greyed out even when we confirm by phone that they are online. They also show him as greyed out on their iChat. To simplify, I disconnected my Powerbook with iChat, iSight, etc. all working perfectly from my DSL connection. I then carried and connected to the DPC2100 directly with Ethernet and confirmed web browsing. But, my iChat did the same thing, showing Buddies greyed out and offline and they could no longer see my presence online either.
The only variable seems to be the switch from DSL (ok) to Cox Cable with the DPC2100. Then, returning to the DSL all is fine.
I discussed this with Cox ??tech support?? and two different people said it had nothing to do with the cable modem or their connection. It appears that expecting ANY support from COX cable tech is a losing proposition, so I am turning to logical Mac users. Thanks for any ideas to resolve this.
iMac 1.8 G5 and Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) no router, no firewall, no privacy, etc.

I would look for a cable Modem that is configurable (most you purchase youself will be).
Something like this
Or this
Generally go for something that is not going to handle VoIP as well. (Not SIP Aware)
On the other hand if he has a install CD that came with the device there might be Read Me with the default IP Listed to make Access.
Or try the Scientific Atlanta Website (although I can not get the page to load today (Sun 22nd)
This Forum item suggest the default IP is 192.168.100.1 but also suggests problems due to the ISP this was supplied from.

I can't figure this one out...

I've imported a .swf file into one of my table cells. The
cell is 700x200. The .swf file is 700x200.

I've recut and resaved my .psd file TWICE. I can't figure
this one out.
It seems that the flash file is stretching or something, its
off one pixel on the right. When i set my flash file at 699 width,
it was one pixel off on the right.
Can any offer any suggestions. I'm completely out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

it looks like the graphic's width might have been transformed
at 101% in Flash.
If the actual image file has the right width, I don't see any
other possible explanation.
You should double check in Flash authoring, select your
graphic (or your MC or whatever object you
might have converted it to) and open the transform and/or
info panel. One of these panels will show
you the % width and height ratio of your object...

HT3235 My second monitor is working but I can't figure out how to use it! I can't get anything to drag. I know how to adjust extended desktops on PCs but I can't figure this one out.

I am used to working on duel monitors. I bought a new MacBook Pro 15' yesterday, the adapter for my monitor, and the monitor is on with the generic background but I can't drag any windows over to it. I can do it on PCs but can't figure out on the Mac. Can someone please help the noob out?
Thanks
Nikki

The blue blocks in that screen are Icons for your actual screens. Their sizes are proprtional to the number of pixels in each screen. They can be dragged to new locations relative to each other -- as long as they are touching at some point. You are expected to drag them so that they correspond with the actual screen location on your bench, so that the movement from one scrren to the other is intuitive.
The white stripe represents the menuBar. It can also be dragged to any screen, and that screen will then be the one with the MenuBar. It will also become the screen with the Startup icons on it.

I'm trying to understand why, in the Flash project above, I get an odd discrepancy between the project as it appears on the Stage, and the version that exports as a SWF.
Here's a description of the problem, though you might find it easier to simply look at the problem, in the blue bunny's legs, for yourself.
I'm animating two characters originally drawn on paper by my daughters, age 4 and 3. The blue bunny character's legs are graphic symbols ("L/R leg squeeze") with a motion tween applied to them, an x-scale transformation, occurring only once per 30-frame bounce cycle.
However, up a level or two at the "lyda armature bounce" symbol, the same transformation unexpectedly occurs three times over the same 30 frames -- seemingly tied to the "pose" keyframes. You can't see this mysterious effect except in the blue bounding box that you get when you select a leg.
If anyone could explain this problem, I'd be grateful. Maybe something to do with my IK armature and the fact that within it, I have moved its component graphic symbols (all of them except the legs) to match the embedded leg-squish animation?

MIDI CLOCK stopped working and I can't figur this one out.

I have been sending MIDI clock to my Native Instruments Guitar Rig so I can sync the Loop Machine with Logic, everything was working pretty good till...??? I am not sure what I could have done to goof it up but now I get no MIDI signal out the port ( I set it to all MIDI ports). I tested the cables with a LED tester and all the settings I set to get it working in the first place but now Logic seems to not be sending the clock any longer. I also sync a Micron keyboard and use its arpegiator... well I was till this happened. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Delete Logic preferences from the user>library>preferences folder
(export your key commands before deleting)

Help me please, I can't figure this one out!

Alright so I just got a Ipod Video 5th Gen and I also have a mac. The ipod came formatted for windows and when I hooked it up to my mac, itunes wouldn't recognize it and ipod updater wouldn't do anything with it where it would recognize it but it would say that it can't restore it or update it. My mac doesn't have an internet connection at the moment but I have ipod updater 6-28-06 on it along with itunes. I have tryed restoring it on a regualar windows computer but I Couldn't change the format. How do I change the format to Mac? Any help is appreciated.

See put your iPod into disk mode before doing the Restore helps
Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Otherwise, For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Eject your iPod and do a Reset

My Ipad2 has started adding letters between words when I type. The letters are usually, but not always, m. I use Safari browser. Can't figure this one out!

Adding to the question I posted, my iPad will string words together by inserting letters (usually m, but sometimes n) between. Even when I back up and delete the extra letter, it will pop up again until the second delete. So it's in autocorrect? Have I taught my device to do this by being a sloppy typist?

Try asking in the iPad forum. This forum is for iPhones being used in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.

Icon, icon, i can't figure this one out!

After working on my G5 for a few hours after a restart, I find unusual things happening to icons. The Desktop icon (shown in the side pane) is the most susceptible; becoming garbled or taking on another program's icon.
It always goes back to normal after a restart, but I'd like to fix the problem not the symptom.
Any help?
Here is what it looks like:
http://web.mac.com/jetalcott/iWeb/JET/Problems.html
Powermac G5, Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

As I fiddled with the suggestions here, I noticed something I should have seen earlier. Although my desktop icon appears in the sidebar, the folder does NOT appear in my home folder. Spotlight says that it is there. My desktop is working normally (things appear on my desktop, and they are the same things that show up when I click on the icon in the sidebar), but I cannot actually see the desktop folder. I thought I would try changing it's icon, but alas, it aint there!
Hmmmm.
Any ideas?

When I updated my Iphone my naviogon app was erased, and I can't figure which one I had purchased. Does anyone have any ideals how I can figure this out.

So you think you are an Java uber-geek? Then figure this one out. . .

Ok, uber-Java geeks, let's see if you can figure this one out. It' s butt-ugly and got me totally stumped.
This is in a Tomcat 5.5 environment.
I have a jsp (hierarchy.jsp) which has static nested class called MgmtAuthBean. This hierarchy.jsp creates a TreeMap object which contains instances of the static nested class, MgmtAuthBean. So, after compilation of the hierarchy.jsp, I end having 2 jsp's:
hierarchy_jsp.java <==== original jsp
hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java <==== nested static class jsp
Ok, easy to understand so far. . .now for the rub. . .
The hierarchy_jsp.java then saves the TreeMap object in a session.
Another servlet (ExcelServlet) then accesses this saved session object, but in the process of reconstituting the TreeMap object, it requires access to the nested static class hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java.
The problem is that ExcelServlet craters because it can't find hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java in order to reconstitute the TreeMap object.
Since jsp's are dynamically created when called, how do I point either the Tomcat container or ExcelServlet to hierarchy_jsp$MgmtAuthBean.java?
For reason's too stupid to explain, I can't get rid of the static nested class, so I have to figure out how to make this work. . .
:)

Tomcat provides a utility for pre-compiling JSP into Servlet class files. This can also be done in ANT. You can precompile the JSP which will create the inner class file and then compile the Java files that need the inner class file. It may take some tweaking to get all of the classes to compile in the correct order.
A possible alternative is t have the inner class implement an interface. the hierarchy_jsp can then refer to the contents of the TreeMap as instances of the interface instead of as instances of the inner class.

How can I figure this out?

Very simple function, but as a beginner, it's still difficult for me.
my mouse wants to detect boxes on the canvas and return the center coordinate of these boxes, how can i figure this out? The game will be, if point(x,y) is inside a box , return box Center

I just noticed that you are placing them on Canvas and it is not a container object. One solution would be to keep track of boundaries of those clickable areas and whenever a click occurs, a check which box was clicked, if any. I hope this helped.

Can't figure this out- cable connection vs wifi connection

Can't figure this out: when my 13" MBP is connected wirelessly to my Airport base station, my iPad can see it. When I connect the MBP to the base station via ethernet cable (for faster connection), the iPad can no longer see it.
Note: my airport is not connected to the internet. I'm simply wanting to setup a closed network for the iPad to connect to the MBP. There's nothing else on the network. The app on the iPad is locating the MBP by ip address so it must be a permanently assigned number.

Am having the same problem.
Everything was working fine until yesterday.
Now if I connect my iMac to the Extreme with Ethernet the Airport is not visible and I can't connect to the internet.
iPods and iPhones can still use the wifi to get on the internet.
If I switch the iMac to Airport it works, but, will not work with the Ethernet cable connected.
Have tried changing ethernet cables and still no go.
Can't figure this out.
