Can't get Image to switch properly
Yesterday I made a thread about not being able to change the BorderTitle of a panel whenever I clicked one of the JRadioButtons. That was taken care of thanks to the help of 2 members of this forum.
But then, I got stucked in another part. The program is supposed to change the main picture on top depending on which item of the JComboBox is selected.
Since I'm really new at this, I figured I could use a similar approach to the one used yesterday and here's the relevant part of the code:
First, here are the relevant variables for this:
private final String mainpics[] = {"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons19.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla20.jpg"};
private JComboBox selhot;
private final String selhotn[] = {"Four Seasons", "Palmilla"};
private ImageIcon pic;
private JLabel hotelnam;
protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path) {
java.net.URL imageURL = HotelPromo.class.getResource(path);
if (imageURL != null) {
return new ImageIcon(imageURL);
return null;
}Here is the part of the code that I can't get to work:
selhot = new JComboBox(selhotn);
for(int k = 0; k < 1; k++) {
mainpics[k] = new String();
pic = createImageIcon(mainpics[k]);
final int index1 = k;
selhot.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
pic = new ImageIcon();
pic = createImageIcon(mainpics[index1]);
hotelnam.setIcon(pic);What am I doing wrong??
Also, is there a way for it to change the value of an int value to 0 when the first hotel is selected and then to 17 when the second one is selected?
Thanks and sorry for the stupid question.
Yep, thanks a ton it works now.
Now to the hardest part of the problem (I think so at least).
There are 2 RadioButton Groups with 4 buttons each.
The first JRB Group selects the type of room you wish to choose (Single, Deluxe, etc.)
The second JRB Group selects the type of view from the desired room (Bathroom, Bedroom, etc.)
So basically, there are 16 pictures in total for each hotel, for 2 hotels, we have 32.
I grouped the pictures in the following way:
private final String hotsfotos[] = {"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons02.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons04.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons09.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons11.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons22.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons21.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons25.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons20.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons24.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons10.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons08.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons17.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons13.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons12.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons01.jpg",
"/fotos/Four Seasons/fourseasons14.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla03.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla02.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla13.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla00.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla08.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla09.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla21.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla04.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla12.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla10.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla23.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla16.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla18.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla17.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla22.jpg",
"/fotos/Palmilla/palmilla07.jpg",};I was thinking making the program return a int = 16 if the second hotel was selected, and then making each of the radio buttons add multiples of 4. Is this the best way to do it or is there any other way?
I appreciate all the help that has been given to me. Sorry for making so many questions.

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple? Any ideas?
Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

The genius bar sold me a LaCie 500 GB EHD today but I can't get it to work properly. Can I schedule another genius bar appt. to help me with this issue even though the EHD is not an Apple product?
Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you. Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts? This is what comes up.....
iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report. Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD. -
I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8
I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.
I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly
I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add. -
I have an iPad 4 with an Apple lightning to vga adapter. (A1439)
It connects fine to my HDTV and projector for doing presentations and video etc.
But if I do show any video on it, e.g. full screen a video from within Chrome, Safari, the apps for Youtube etc.
or if I do a presentation using Keynote, it locks into working as an extended second screen.
It shows the controls for the video on the iPad and the video on the external screen, which is what I would expect. But then if I exit the video or complete the presentation, the external screen continues to show the last frame of the video or presentation. Even if I close the app.
I can't get back to using it in mirroring mode without shutting it down and restarting.
Surely I am just missing something.
I've tried force closing the apps that I use, switching between them, starting up new ones etc.
But no luck.
There doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere that I can change.
Any suggestions?The same thing happened to me. After the big update, I also experienced exactly what you described. I ended up restoring the ipad a number of times.
The first few times, I restored from a back-up. The last few times I have restored the ipad as new. It would work the next few times I turned the machine on, and around the third time, it would lapse back into the recovery mode, with
the image of the serial cord connecting to an i-tunes logo on its desktop. This morning, I restored the ipad as new, but only allowed the apps manufactured by Apple to be synced back onto the ipad. I have powered it back on about three times, and so far, so good. I am waiting to see what happens the next few times I turn the machine on.
I had a very helpful senior Apple express advisor help me on Sunday to do the restore as a new ipad procedure. He said that if that did not work, the next step was having it serviced. He also mentioned that often the third party apps have problems due to getting corrupt and this often happens after a major update. That is why I thought i'd try and see what would happen if I only synced the Apple apps back onto the ipad.
It is not good though if I can't put third party applications on it without having the problem of lapsing into recovery mode, so I may have to get it serviced. I am wondering how many others have had this problem after the big update last week? Also, has anyone who was an early purchaser and got the flat-rate unlimited data plan subscription from AT&T, had to have their ipad replaced? Was there a problem with AT& T still allowing you to continue your special subscription plan? -
Can't get texture to apply properly to my logo graphic?
I'm trying to add a vector textured effect to my logo in Illustrator CS3 on a mac. You can see in this image http://img3.imageshack.us/i/logoxo.png/ a preview of my vector logo along with the vector texture I'm trying to overlay. I just need the texture to crop to the logo and not appear in the background as shown in the image.
I thought I was doing this properly, but apparently not. Here are the steps I have taken with no success:
• Outlined the stroke border of the logo
• Selected the logo's stroke border edge, and cmd selected the overlaying texture layer as well.
• Tried every possible option in the pathfinder toolbar, including the "subtract from shape area" option, but no luck.
I thought this was the proper work method for doing what I'm trying to do, but I guess not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Illustrator CS3 on an intel mac.
p.s. I did try doing the method described above by selecting my entire logo group (rather than just the outlined stroke edge), but still couldn't get it to work. I'm assuming I'm not grouping something correctly here, and that is why I can't get this to work.- Here is the lettering highlighted after converting to compound path (I hid the white stroke layer, so only the blue part of the letters was being used): http://img97.imageshack.us/i/letteringcompactpathhig.png/

- After "subtract from shape" (and expanded) were done: http://img641.imageshack.us/i/aftersubtractfromshapea.png/
As you can see in the last pic, I'm left with an empty path. I just don't know what to do with it. I try adding a fill and that doesn't work. I'm just not familiar with using these empty paths like this so I have no clue what to do with it.
And to show you what my texture and logo layers look like (with arrow dropped down) prior to doing the pathfinder subtract:

How can I get my iTunes to function properly. It stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't figure how to get back and running. I have tried numerous things such as rebooting, checking for the network connection, applying it to open without security measures. Error message "Your connection time out. Check your connection." Even though I can get into the internet, iTunes is still not responding! Technical support help isn't helping!
Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out. Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong. Did he call back? No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again! So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'. Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around. Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out. As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
So ...
- it was NOT my home network.
- it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
- Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
- non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them. -
Can't get Image Matte Key to work in PP CS6 Mac
Hi,
After tearing my hair and muttering adult phrases for a couple of hours while following the below instructions from the PP CS6 pdf manual, I still can't get anything but a black screen when trying to apply the Image Matte Key to a simple set-up. The project is in HD 1080p50 format and the basic editing has been largely problem free.
Add the clip (used as a background) to a video track in a Timeline panel.
Add the clip you want to superimpose to any track higher than the track containing the background clip. This is the clip revealed by the track matte. Be sure the superimposed clip overlaps the background clip in a Timeline panel.
In the Effects panel, click the triangle to expand the Video Effects bin and then click the triangle to expand the Keying bin.
Drag the Image Matte Key to the superimposed clip in a Timeline panel.
In a Timeline panel, select the superimposed clip.
In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle to expand the Image Matte Key settings.
Click the Setup button , browse to the image being used as the matte, and then click Open to select the image.
(Optional) If you’re animating the Image Matte Key over time, make sure that the current-time indicator is in the position you want. Click the Toggle Animation icons for the settings you adjust.
Click the Composite Using menu and choose one of the following:
Matte Alpha Composites the clips using the alpha channel values of the image matte you selected in step 7. Matte Luma Composites the clips using the luminance values of the image matte you selected in step 7.
What I do is:
• I have a clip on Video 1. I want to use a hand painted luma matte made in PS CS6 for changing levels ('exposure') in an irregular area of the clip.
• So, I duplicate the clip on Video 2 and add an 'RGB Curves' fx for the level adjustment.
• Then, I add the Image Matte Key to the Video 2 clip and set up the Photoshop b/w image (RGB 8 bit, 1920x1080) from my external eSATA disk containing the Project and media (step 7 above).
• I select 'Matte Luma' (step 9) – and expect the relevant part (painted white on the matte .psd pic) of the duplicated, level adjusted clip to be superimposed on the Video 1 clip.
• But I only get BLACK!
I tried using Track Matte Key, with the matte pic on Video 3 – no problem, worked just as expected.
So, what's the voodoo with Image Matte Key?
Kind regards,
JoachimAnn, Steven, Bill,
Thank you very much for your encouragement and duplication work! Truly appreciated.
This morning, with some fresh energy, I attacked the problem afresh and finally found the culprit(s).
It turned out that the major problem was the Photoshop file I originally prepared as a test matte. I created the original psd through the PP File menu to automatically get the correct dimensions. For some reason, it may have got corrupted. When it didn't work and just resulted in a black image, I used it as a template, changed it and resaved it. Apparently the problem was inherited to the resaved psd:s, even though they worked fine when imported into the project and used as mattes with Track Matte.
Go figure…
Anyway, today I created a brand new matte file in PS CS6 and, lo and behold, Image Matte Key now worked as expected!
Almost…
Going back to PS, I edited my simple matte (just two black rectangles on white) and applied a rather heavy blur. I then saved (not Save as…), deleted Image Matte Key from my fx stack in PP, reinstantiated Image Matte Key and set it up with the now resaved psd.
No blur!
I then went back to PS, resaved my blurred matte file with a new file name and repeated the above exercise – first deleting and then reapplying Image Matte Key, setting it up with the new, blurred matte psd.
Now I got a blurred keying effect.
So, it seems that Image Matte Key won't 'see' a changed file – apparently it 'remembers' the first version of the file and refuses to accept the saved changes.
I think that I've seen a post here somewhere about the same or similar problem with PP CS5 or 5.5.
Anyway, I've learned a lot and again, thanks to you guys who chipped in!
Kind regards,
Joachim -
Urgent help please. Can't get image on LED cinema display.
My husband has a traumatic brain injury. His existing monitor went kaput yesterday, & I've been trying desperately to set up a new LED cinema display with his Mac Pro that was purchased May 2007 for the past 4.5 hrs without success. Can't get any image on it & don't know what else to try. Any suggestions please?
Can we assume that the graphics card has been replaced with one that has a mini display port, such as the Radeon HD 5770 or the Geforce GT 120? The originally shipped graphics card options for the 2007 Mac Pro do NOT have the Mini Display Port.
Does my computer have a Mini DisplayPort connector?
If not, one will either need an Atlona AT-DP400 adapter to connect the LED Cinema Display to a dual link DVI port of the graphics card OR to replace the graphics card with one that is equipped with the Mini Display Port.
Review of the Atlona AT-DP400.
Also, does the Mac Pro have OS X 10.6.4 or later? -

Can't get online after switching from a Dell
Can anyone help me?
I just switched to a PowerBook G4 from using a Dell, and now I can't get online. I'm using a cable modem, but apparently my Apple won't recognize it. I talked to Apple tech support for over an hour, and they sent me to the Apple store who, of course, couldn't duplicate my problem. The guy at the store said this happens a lot when you switch from a Windows machine to a Mac because the modem "knows" which computer it should be trying to connect to. My Apple won't receive an IP address from the modem, and neither Apple nor my cable company can fix it. I've never used an Apple before and I'm getting really frustrated!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)You're welcome.
Copied from the link I provided.
The Apple Hardware Test was originally distributed on a separate Apple Hardware Test CD. The latest Macs distribute the Apple Hardware Test on a special volume on the Software Restore and Install DVD. Each Apple Hardware Test is specific to the type and model of Mac with which it was distributed.
Since the Apple Hardware Test is included on the Software Restore and Install DVD that shipped with your Mac when purchased, Apple won't just send you another one.
Your employer needs to give you the OS X install package that shipped with this Mac when purchased to keep handy. Although there is an alternative, to run Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive to check for any hard drive directory problems requires booting the computer from the OS X install disc #1 that shipped with this Mac when purchased.
Check Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures with instructions for running Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive.
This is also recommended before installing a major OS X update such as 10.4.6 or 10.4.7 which is expected to be released soon.
See Installing software updates for future reference.
Since you are new to Macs and OS X, check Maintaining Mac OS X for recommended maintenance for OS X which isn't much but also good info to know for future reference. -
Can't get iCloud to work properly from new MBP.
I recently bought a new MBP and gave my old one to my wife. I deleted the calendar and contact info from my old MBP since she didn't need it. Only I didn't realize that it would also delete all the information from my new MBP that I had initialized from a Time Machine back-up.
But now, I can't get thinks back to normal. I had recently upgraded my old MBP to Mavericks, so I posted my questions there on the assumption that the problem was with Mavericks. I now think the problem is with iCloud, so I'm posting here as well.
Here's my tale of woe ...
First, I tried restoring my back-ups, but the restored info would literally disappear with 2-3 seconds of being reloaded. I sat there and watched my contacts appear, then disappear. Three times. The Mavericks folks made some suggestions about deleting files from the Application Support Folder. No help. Same results. Watched my contacts load and then disappear 3 more times.
So I decided to start more-or-less from scratch. I deleted my iCloud account from both my MBP and my iPad. I then reloaded my calendar and my contacts from the back-ups on my MBP. Everything fine so far. All calendar items are there. All contacts are there.
I re-added the iCloud account on my MBP. Still okay. Contacts and calendar info still there. However, System Preferences would not allow me to check the box next to "calendar." It said "setting up" then stopped and unchecked the Calendar box. I am also unable to enable the iCloud account within Calendar preferences.
I re-added my account on my iPad. No calendar info, but that didn't surprise me because the calendar wouldn't connect from my Mac.
But the Contacts on the iPad included ONLY those contacts that I had added from the previous recipients window after my last back-up. None of the contacts that had come from my previous back-up were there even though they were on my MBP. So I tried unchecking the box in System Preferences. All of my contacts disappeared from my MBP. None disappeared from my iPad.
So at this point, my iPad becomes a games machine. I can't get my contacts to it. I can't my calendar to it. Email is no good without my contacts.The iCloud Calendar and Time Machine don't play nice together. If you accidentally delete your calendars, they are deleted on iCloud: you restore the cached versions from TM, and iCloud promptly brings them up to date by deleting them again.
However it is possible to restore from Time Machine (or another backup system if it's included your calendars) by following the following steps:
Turn off your internet connection. Make sure that it really is completely off.
Restore from Time Machine or your backup. This should restore your calendars to list under your iCloud username.
Now carry out this process with each calendar:
Select a calendar listed under your iCloud login name.
From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the iCloud version).
Now your calendars are listed under 'On My Mac' as well as under your iCloud login name.
Reconnect to the internet. Your iCloud calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:
Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your iCloud login name in the sub menu.
A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your iCloud login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the iCloud version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
Your calendar contents will appear in the iCloud version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
You should back up your calendars periodically by exporting the .ics files as in step 1 above and keeping them safely. -
