Downloaded new software; need help getting started...

I get many pages with all the new info but I just want to make a call. No symbol or sign about where to make a call
Hardware: Laptop windows 7, Lenovo; I also have a fullsized HP tabletop and an iPad.
Oper.sys: Windows 7 on laptop, Windows XP on table top (use it little)
Skype version: latest I think downloaded today.
Internet: Xplonet satelite.
I am not very good at computers but I know that when I opened Skype I had a sign to press to make a call. Now nothing only Explore Prices Downloads and Help. But no help only answers that mean nothing to me. How can I learn this completely new system?
Thanks for help.

Are you sure that you are logged in to Skype application installed on your computer and not just to your Account page on the Web. The last will not provide you any access to your contacts or call option.
What exactly is the version of Skype installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
If you have not yet installed Skype on your computer, then you need to do this now.

I haven't used an Apple computer for years. I need help getting started

I just bought a mac mini after 20 years using a PC. I need help getting started. Any beginning manuals out there? Thanks.

Welcome back. Do not overlook the Finder and individual application Help menu support. The links provided above are great starter references. With tongue in cheek, they also may not be as current as the OS X release on your mini, so expect some differences.
Here are a litany of keyboard short-cuts, last updated in June 2012, that may prove selectively beneficial.
For actions like copy(c), paste(v), cut(x), print(p), and select-all(a), substitute the command key instead of control key.
If you right click on a file, this menu will seem familiar. Press the option key and notice the menu changes. If you copy a file(s) from this menu, change to the destination and then press option with the right button menu to see copy file(s) changed to move file(s).
To quickly view a file's contents, left click on the file icon, then press the space bar.
The native file format for OS X is PDF. Thus, when you choose to print, you also have the option to save as PDF with web links preserved.
Enjoy your mini.

Need help getting started -Editing software

Hello everyone
I need to get started with video editing on a Mac -
I didn't touch an editing software since 1998 , it was premiere 4.2 on a PC !
And didn't keep up with what's new but i'm now using a Mac!
I assume now most software allow realtime rendering, and have great tools !
So, I'd like to put together a holiday movie I shot on a DV camera-
once finished , it would either play from the computer connected to a Video projector AND / OR burned on a DVD .
I'd like to make something a bit creative : Split frames / moving Titles accross the screen etc...
my questions :
-If possible, I'd like to minimize the rendering process ( realtime?) What is a good editing software Imovie / Final cut ( which one?) / Premiere ?
-What can I use to create split frame ( video)
-What can I use to create moving titles ? ( important)
-Can this be achievable on a Macbook 1,83GHZ / 2GB of RAM/ 250GB EXT. Harddrive FW.?
Thanks for you inputs ( Open subject )
David

You don't need timecode to make frame accurate cuts.
You simply play or drag the playhead to roughly where you want it and then use the left and right arrow keys to move frame by frame to the exact frame you want.
Incidentally if you hold down the Shift key, each touch of the arrow key will jump 10 frames.
iMovie has a tremendous amount of potential which may be hidden away at first sight.
Take a look at those fantastic and easy to produce titles - the hardest part is typing the letters!
Incidentally, even FCE does not display the original tape timecode natively.
Ian.
P.S. The best way to unlock most of its secrets is to get a book. Most good libraries usually stock them or can get them for you.

Trying to download new software..Help!

I have a late 2008 Macbook with the 10.6.8 software. I am trying to download the new 10.9.1. I go through the app store and click download, but it does nothing. What do I need to do to get it downloaded? I am basically trying to get the new Pages downloaded (which requires the new software) so I can use it for school and have it communicate through Icloud with my IPad and IMac when needed.

Is your MacBook the Aluminum Unibody?

Need help getting started - I am a newbie and am royally confused

I have Crystal Reports XI and VB.Net 2005 with CR functionality built in. I created reports directly in CRXI and now need to be able to use them in .Net.
Here is where I get lost. When I created my RPT file it had me connect to a database (Access 2002) and then add a table and fields. It works great except now that I am porting to my .Net app the database it needs to connect to will always be changing (dynamic). The table and field names will always be the same. It is just the file name that changes, based on user inputs.
So are there any tutorials, literature, help that anyone can point me to so I can get on with my steep learning curve? I started programming in VB.net and developing CR's just a short time ago and would appreciate a 'dumbed' down explanation so I can get a handle on this.
Thanks for any help or advice offered.
Regards
TMA

Need help getting started with the ML505 Development Kit

First of all, an admission...I am a newb to the FPGA world. A babe in the wilderness. I am trying to run a simple little logic design to get my feet wet. Four inputs using the WEST, CENTER, SOUTH, and EAST pushbuttons feeding two AND gates which feeds an OR gate which turns on the NORTH LED. I have tried to use the Platform Cable USB to download the project to the XCF32P Platform Flash PROM using the iMPACT software. As of yet I have been unable to get the program to run. The iMPACT program says the programming was successful but after pressing the PROG button, the DONE LED does not turn on. I've tried different settings with the Configuration Address and Mode DIP switches with no success. To anyone using the ML505, given the gear I have at my disposal, what would you recommend? What modes have you used that worked? Thanks in advance.

Here is the latest setup I have used in trying to get my FPGA to read from the Platform FLASH PROM. Configuration Address/Mode DIP switches set to 01011001 as per "My Own Platform Image Demonstration" method in the "ML505/ML506/ML507 Getting Started Tutorial" The Platform Cable USB is plugged into the JTAG connector on the ML505. Its status LED is green. In iMPACT the Boundary Scan reveals the following chain... TDI ----- xcf32p -----xcf32p-----xc9s144x1-----xccace-----xc5vlx50t-----TDO The same mcs file is loaded into both PROMs (xcf32p). I start the programming cycle. It completes and says "Programming Successful" I press the PROG button on the ML505 and the DONE LED does not turn on and the design does not work. With the same chain I add the bit file to the xc5vlx50t so I have the PROMs loaded with mcs files and the FPGA with the bit file. I run the program function again. "Programming successful" is again indicated. The DONE LED lights and the design works. I then press the PROG button. The DONE LED turns off and the design ceases to function. I have also tried this with only one PROM loaded with a mcs file with no success. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Firstdata Global Gateway - Need help getting started

I’m using Coldfusion 9,0,0,251028 on Windows 7 64-bit.
I'm trying to change credit card processors for a website. I've read the integration guide for the Web Service API v 4.0, but it doesn't give me much in the way of how I integrate with coldfusion to build the xml that gets enclosed in SOAP and sent.
I've talked to Firstdata's second level support and was told they don't help with programming beyond troubleshooting error codes. They also told me they have no forum concerning the web service API.
What kind of tags in coldfusion would I use to start this transaction? Does anyone know where I could find an example or instructions besides the web service api integration guide?

ColdFusion has pretty good support for consuming SOAP web services, you might checkout the docs to get started: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24 -7fbf.html
Also I'd ask if FirstData if they have any ColdFusion examples they can point you to, while they will not help with specific tasks, they might point you to some resources for example: https://firstdata.zendesk.com/entries/407568-first-data-global-gateway-e4sm-web-service-ap i-sample-code-cold-fusion

Need Help Getting Started with New iPod

I already had an 8g iPod, however, I just purchased a 64 on Amazon ... it was new but open box. I hooked it into my computer and the only thing that shows on the screen is the power chord pointing up to iTunes.
I have reinstalled iTunes, but my system will not recognize this iPod, nor can I get to any other screens on the iPod.
Can someone please provide some direction?
Thanks much!

Beginner! Need help getting started with recording music.

I am the definition of 'new' at the moment. I want to record my own music at home and I've been told that using an Apple Mac is one of the better ways to go about it at home.
I have a number of questions, most of which have probably been asked before (apologies!) starting right from the beginning.
1. What type of Mac would be best suited as a dedicated tool for recording music? Obviously speed and memory are big factors, but are there any other considerations here (available inputs, drivers, sound cards etc)? I'm hoping to keep the cost below AUS$3000 if possible.
2. Do i need any other hardware for this application? (this is where you can tell how inexperienced I am haha) such as mixers etc? If I should need a mixer, is there a particular type or brand of mixer that works well with Macs?
3. Will plugging a guitar amp into the mac improve sound quality over plugging the guitar directly into the Mac? I bought a Griggin Garage Band guitar cable a while ago to record some background music for a friend's DVD, and I found it worked well, but I'm looking for the best quality sound now.
4. What would be the most effective software to use? I've briefly used Garage Band and found that to be simple and useful, but I've heard that there are better software packages available.
I'm hoping to be able to record guitar, bass and vocals directly on to the Mac, and create drum tracks using samples and loops. I know how to play music but as you can tell I know very little about recording it! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks..

I would presume one line level input will suffice?
Close, you need a Line Level AND Mic Level input since you'll want to record vocals.
Thanks for the link to your Q&A page, I found some very useful info there.
It's showing its age, and will hopeful get updated soon, but most of the info is good at least for a background.
Anyway, I think I might recommend this Presonus INSPIRE over the FireBox, it'll save you about $100 and since PreSonus makes excellent equipment (and we have an active member here that uses the Inspire), I'm confident that it offers great quality.
I think the firepod that you use looks great, but might be overkill
I agree, the FirePod would be serious overkill for your needs. Again, an awesome interface, but you'd be paying for all those Mic PREs, and using 1. That wouldn't make sense, and since the FP isn't cheap...
my talent and engineering knowledge is quite limited
Then I would strongly suggest GB as the software, and then do lots of reading. The weakest link in music production is your engineering skills. Mixing and Mastering (especially the latter) are art forms. A bad engineer using a $10,000 bit of software and hardware would make a fantastic performance sound like garbage. With good engineering skills you can make a pro recording with GB.
The learning curve with something like Logic is dramatically increased, and again, without the skills to take advantage of what it offers, your recordings are not going to sound any better. At the very least, start with GB to learn the skills of Recording/Editing/Mixing/Mastering. The "price of admission" is low enough that if in a year you find that you need a feature GB doesn't offer, your money will not have been wasted, it will have been valuable learning time.
Hope those more specific answers help

New User needs help with starting SDK

I downloaded the J2EEsdk-1_4 files and completed the installation. I have looked at all the tutorials and quick-start documentation, but cannot find how to begin building an application. All I needed was very minimal Java parts to write a "Hello World" program for a class, but it prompted me to get the whole package.
How do I get to a prompt window to write some code, then compile it, then run it? I tested the local server as it suggested and it is working, and I ran their sample program and it worked.
I just need a pointer to get me started. I don't need all the web deployemnt stuff, etc....
Sorry for the silly questions but you gotta start somewhere.
Thanks

Brent In Iowa, you're on the Air.
Thanks for taking my call, Larry.
Umm, yes, I'd like to ask Mr. McNealy a question.
Go ahead.
umm, yes, Mr. McNealy. I like your language
Thanks, Brent. We hope with developers like you, to make it the most widely used language in the world. It's people like you that will helps us squash that bastard Gates and make me...umm, I mean Sun Microsystems the richest company known to man-kind.
Yeah but that's my problem Mr. McNealy. How do I write Hello World?
First, Brent, ya gotta download the right SDK. Not the J2EE but the J2SE. Then ya gotta follow the links on the let for the tutorials.
Thanks for your question. Our next caller, George is in Boise, Idaho. Hello, Boise.

Newbie alert! - need help getting started

Hello!
(If there is a better place to post this message, please forgive me, and tell
me where I should post.)
My team is moving to the Weblogic app server platform, and my current task is
to get my feet wet.
I've picked up a few things after digging around in the documentation, and on
this website, but I've got a few holes in my knowledge. If someone could point
me at where I should read, I'd appreciate it!
We've got JBuilder 9 Weblogic Edition installed on our dev boxen (Win2k PCs),
an Oracle database (Oracle 9i on a Sun box) prepared, and an application server
going (Sun Ultra-10 running Solaris 9 64-bit, named "wlapp"). I've installed Weblogic
Server 8.1 to the app server, and it seems to have installed correctly. I've managed
to get the medrec example running on that server (it took a little tweaking of
the script), but I have no idea how to access it.
I did a "ps -ef" and I can see a process called "htt_server" with a parameter
"-port 9010" running on it, but pointing a web browser to "http://wlapp:9010"
does nothing useful.
In the tutorial (http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/medrec_tutorials/index.html)
it helpfully says "If you are interested in viewing or using the complete MedRec
application before starting the tutorials, you can use the pre-built MedRec domain
that is installed with WebLogic Server." It fails to mention how to make this
first, probably obvious, step.
Can anyone tell me how to try out my (hopefully running) MedRec example application?
Thanks in advance! --- Eric

Hi,
Can you provide us the server configuration you entered in the Project creation wizard (New Flex Project -> Configure ColdFusion server wizard)?
The error shown looks like a configuration problem.
Thanks,

What Java downloads do i need to get started

hi,
on windows xp home edition:
i downloaded j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-windows.exe and installed it successfully in C:\Sun\AppServer. but errors occurred when i compiled:
"unsupported major.minor version 49.0". i've read various postings to this problem but still don't know how to fix it. i uninstalled all references to java and even some registry files and i even installed j2re-1_4_2_09-windows-i586-p.exe but still it didn't work.
please help.
thanks.
ps: jdk, sdk, jre ---> is there 1 download that has all these things in their latest versions? do i need an sdk if i have the other two?

Remove everything Java and then do a clean install of
either J2SE JDK 5.0 Update 4 (1.5.0_04) or J2SE SDK
1.4.2_09.
I recommend the JDK 5.0 Update 4
Either of the above will also install a matched JRE.
You don't want (or need) the J2EE package, it is only
for experienced developers creating large enterprise
networks and systems.did it and successfully test-compiled and ran some super artificial classes.
thanks.
ps: i'm new to jav forums. i don't quite know what duke dollars are and have
not found an explanation for the it.

XML tools for Java (need help getting started)

Hi,
I have been using Java for some time. However, I am new to XML and the tools Java has available to utilize such data.
What packages, classes, etc are available to read and write XML data?
Thank you in advance. Happy holidays.
Cheers,
Christopher

I've been using a third-party library called JDOM for well over two years and I highly recommend it for your XML processing needs. It recently reached its first productions release and is available for download at http://www.jdom.org.

Ok, I get scripting for Acrobat is different, but I'm having a hard time making heads or tails of the Guide. Illustrator and Photoshop were pretty straight-forward for me, by comparison. I just need a basic script that I can double click on that opens Acrobat, opens a specified file, then saves it with a different name, and quits Acrobat. 4 easy steps in one jsx file... at least that's how it would be for PS or AI. What does that look like for Acrobat?
Thanks!

Adobe works very hard at dealing with preventing Acrobat from disclosing very personal data, so what you are asking for falls under their definition of a secruity risk. Adobe requires the installation of some very special JavaScript code in a very specific location and end user interaction to perform this task.

I need help getting started

Just bought the new iMac w/17" monitor.
The Apple store told me they are out of modems and will get more in in about two weeks. I live in an area without broadband at this time. I was told before I bought it that I could still access the computer for general computer work with CD/DVD burning, etc. I bought it tonight with the understanding there would be no problem using the built-in programs before I have interent access.
Now I've set it up and I can't get past the opening screens asking me to select a wireless company.
HOW do I bypass the preliminaries and use this computer, while I wait for Apple to ship the modem? Or am I stuck? I was assured by the salespeople I wouldn't be.
Thank you.

My imac is 9 months old and they have changed things since then. The best thing you can do is call the store or apple support and have them walk you through it over the phone.
