Dumb question/install probably

Hey everyone. I installed the jdk for windows, got installed and set my path and classpath. The problem im having now is I wrote this dumb program:
import java.awt.*;
public class MoveText {
public static void main(String[] args)
Rectangle cerealBox = new Rectangle(5, 10, 20, 30);
cerealBox.translate(15, 25)
System.out.println(cerealBox);
It should compile fine as far as I see, but here is the error:
java:9: cannot access Rectangle
bad class file ./Rectangle.java
Any idea?
Thanks,

n/m I found my problem.
Thanks,
Julie

  • My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

    My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update?  I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

    should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update?  I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

    Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
    Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

  • This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them?

    This maybe a dumb question but...If I buy Aperture are the updates already installed into the purchased version or do I need to update them after the prograam is installed?

    Should come updated from the Mac App Store. Obviously, it's tough to keep things up to date when they are sitting in a box on a store shelf.

  • Probably a really dumb question...but so am I

    Just bought a brand new iMac (specs below). Old one? Panther (3.10.9), 1 GHz, 2 RAM, 80 GB space)
    Keeping the old iMac. A perfectly good machine. Only reason I bought a new one: kind of maxed out regarding my primary use of a computer...home music recording. Just needed more space, power, speed, etc.
    Question: Before I call the phone company (our ISP: ATT), want your advice.
    Can I just hook up two computers (both iMacs, one old, one new), on the same telephone line (a land line...this would be the only phone line coming into the house), and have them work? Or, would the ISP, the telephone company, charge us more for doing this? Meaning operating two computers on the same line simultaneously. (Forget about wireless here. Don't use it, not sure that I will anytime soon.)
    Why couldn't I just plug in the other computer into a phone jack in another room in the house and have it work while the other one, in another room but using the same phone line, is running at the same time? Both simultaneously. (Sure, I'd need a modem for each machine going into the ethernet port.)
    As I said, possibly a dumb question. On the other hand, I'm pretty dumb too.
    Thoughts, advice, suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

    It's probably connecting to a broadband modem (DSL or ADSL). That device allows you to get the high speed internet going on using the same phone jack in your house, and connects to the computer through an ethernet cable.
    "Old school" or dial-up modems are traditionally built into the computer or plug into a USB port, and then use a normal phone cord (same thing other phones in the house use). Aside from being super slow, your line is usually busy and you're unable to make/receive calls when you're online.
    I'm guessing you're connecting to a broadband modem (since you mentioned ethernet cable). With that in mind, the answer is yes, you can hook both those computers up so they can be online at the same time. What you need is what's called a router or switch, and they're not very expensive. One line connects to your broadband modem, then you have 3-4 jacks that you can plug additional computers in (so they can all use the connection at once).
    If you want to have the machines in different rooms but don't want to run wires everywhere, look for a wi-fi router, which will usually give you a few jacks for connecting computers that don't have wi-fi but will also let you do a wireless internet hookup for your new iMac, the old one (if it has wi-fi), and even iPhones if you have 'em.
    Apple has two products that might work for you. The Airport Extreme Base Station has super-fast wifi plus jacks for plugging computers in via ethernet, and even lets you share a printer. http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/ The Time Capsule does all that, and also has a built in hard drive (you can get with a 1TB or 2TB hard drive), which is great for using Time Machine. We've had a Time Capsule since they first came out and love it - super easy to set up, and all the backup stuff just happens without having to worry about it.
    Hope that helps!

  • Probably Dumb question

    Hey all, this is prolly a dumb question but I could not find anything in the owners manual about the onboard lan for the K8nNeo platinum2.  I was just wondering why there are 2 RJ-45 jacks. In the manual it says to hook up either one. And would there be any benefit to hooking up both of them to my router? Thanks in advance.  

    I think you misunderstand the Aperture process. When you export, you use presets which can resize an image to anything you want. There is no reason to resize inside Aperture as that is contrary to the non-destructive editing philosophy (ie, we don't change the master image for any reason, and if we need to for some reason, we will create a copy in another format first). Resampling down unavoidably reduces the information the image. It is certainly destructive.
    If you create an export preset with the settings you want, including resizing, that will do the trick.
    Alternatively, you an export the image to the size you want, then re-import into Aperture (and stack with the original if you want). That, at least, doesn't require photoshop.
    One of the points of Aperture is the avoid the need to resize, or edit destructively in any way, until export. I can't think of any good reason not to follow Aperture's paradigm on this.

  • Dumb question re video card

    I bought a radeon 9800 pro graphics card to upgrade my 64mb. stock card and before installing noticed that the new card has one DVI port and one VGA port. the box says it runs dual displays, right now I have dual CRTs running but want to run two flat panels soon.
    so the dumb question, can I convert the VGA to DVI with just a cheap adapter and run dual flats without buying an expensive converter for the second VGA port?

    Hi Prankster,
    you wont be able to get dual digital support from the 9800 ...sorry.
    Of course, you might be able to *physically connect* two digital flat panels to the card but one of the monitor connectors will be recieving an analog video input signal from this graphic card.
    To get true dual digital support from ATI you would need the 9600 or 9700 Pro graphic cards.
    Hope this helps !
    Cheers,

  • Dumb Question about multiple BSSIDs

    This is probably a dumb question, but enquiring minds want to know...
    When using Yosemite's built-in Wireless Diagnostics scan I see many unique WiFi BSSIDs (MAC addresses) associated with my Time Capsule: 5 for my Guest Network and 6 for my "main" network. I see that not all have the same 802.11 protocol, but not all have unique 802.11 protocols. Also I see my "main" network is the 802.11ac network.
    So my questions are:
    - Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
    - Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Why are there so many different BSSIDs and how should I interpret them?
    The 5 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
    The 2.4 GHz band on the main network is one unique BSSID
    If you have the Guest Network setup......
    The 5 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
    The 2.4 GHz band on the guest network is one unique BSSID
    If you have multiple AirPort routers, repeat the information above for each router.
    Which of these BSSIDs are "relevant" that I should pay attention to?
    Personally, I pay no attention to this, but some users place great importance on this.
    The BSSID tells you which AirPort.....if you have multiple AirPorts....and which band....2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.....that you are connected to at the current time....as well as whether you are connected to the "main" network, or the "guest" network.....if you have enabled the guest function.

  • Sorry for the dumb question...

    Sorry for the dumb question but I've never used two hard drives on a mac. On my second installed hard drive on my new Mac Pro, I can not create a new folder (the option is greyed out). What do I do?

    Try this:
    Right click (or ctrl-click) and select "Get Info"
    On the bottom, under "Ownership & Permissions", make sure that the pull down menu next to "You can" says "Read & Write".
    Under details, you can make your username the owner of the disk, with the same access.
    You can also click the "Ignore ownership on this volume" if you don't want any of those types of permissions.
    HTH!

  • This maybe a really dumb question...

    I know this maybe a really dumb question but I do need to ask:
    -Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?
    (I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
    -In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
    Thank you in advance.

    jlee636:
    The Boot Camp installation guide is [HERE|http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp>. It should be able to answer questions related to installation. Of course these discussions have several other information on boot camp/ windows. All you need to do is launch a search on them.
    -In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
    Too many people make a partition very small and then regret having done so. My recommendation is to have a partition of at least 32GB. It is highly dependent on what your will be installing on Windows XP/Vista.
    -Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?(I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
    It is more than likely that the Windows disk that came with your previous PC/Laptop is an OEM disk and will only work properly with that particular PC. This is generally the case with Dell, HP, Sony etc. The installation disk in the cases above are usually branded.
    For more information on which Windows version(s) work with Boot Camp then please click [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11889.html].

  • Okay, a dumb question, but need to know -

    do I need to buy protection software like Norton or Malware Bytes for my mac?  I thought Mac's don't get hacked.

    No.
    It's not a dumb question at all. Most people come to this site after they mess up their Mac. Don't install that junk, and you won't be coming here when you need to fix the problems it causes.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Reeeeeeally dumb question

    Total computer-building newbie here. Had a nice guy at the local Fry's help me pick out the parts of a new system, including my swanky K8N mobo.
    So, I've got me my mobo, my tower, couple of hard drives, internal modem, couple of CD/DVD drives, video card, 1394/firewire thingie card. And thanks to earlier help from kind people here, I actually managed to get all this stuff assembled, installed WinXP -- in short, I'm up and running.
    Except I just discovered that I apparently don't have sound.
    SUPER dumb question: Do I need a sound card? Or should what I have give me sound? And if yes to that, which of the three audio plugs do I plug my speakers into?
    (And while I'm at it, how do I figure out which version of BIOS I'm running?)

    The firewire card is leftover from my old machine. I've got two different iPod docks (15GB and 40GB) to plug in, so I do use it.
    As for which mobo I have, here's what the manual has on the front: NVIDIA nForce 3 250Gb Chipset Based, K8N Neo Series. I think there's a regular and a Platinum version of this and I think I've got the regular, because I don't have the various optional items shown in the manual (e.g. I have two SATA connections, not four).
    I just went into the BIOS set-up screen and I didn't notice anything related to sound. Where should I be looking?
    Now, you said I should make sure I've loaded the driver software for my mobo. The last week of computer assembly and software installations has left the old noggin' a bit muddled. I would assume if I've gotten as far as I have (WinXP w/ SP2 and Office installed) that somewhere along the way I would have done this. Wouldn't I have? If not, do I download them from the MSI site? Should they be on a disk I got?
    And if I can re-ask that other question from my original post: How do I know which BIOS I have and that it's updated. In the BIOS set-up, it said this: Phoenix-Award BIOS, W7030NMS V1.3 072804 13:15:30.

  • This may seem like a dumb question, but

    How do I keep my hard drive from filling up with junk? I just purchased a new 13" MBA with 256 GB. My old MBP eventually got bogged down with so many duplicate files and applications and just plain junk. I was never sure what could be safely deleted.
    I guess my real question is how do I know what is safe to delete, which things are duplicates and can I delete a disk image after I install something? Also, how do I know if I've completely deleted an application that I no longer want (i.e. any hidden files or whatever). I want to keep my new MBA as clean as I can and not load up my hard drive space with anything unneccessary.
    Thanks!

    not a dumb question
    just be proactive about where everything is saved to and backup important things via external USB HD
    Clear out itunes often of duplicate unwanted things, keep a folder or two on your desktop or otherwise to keep most of your working files.
    If you drop an unwanted APP to the trash and delete same, its gone unless is a sys. modification application.
    Keep your pictures in a known file or two. Same goes for documents, music, and videos.
    frequently clear out your browswer of cookies, cache.
    Buy a APP on the APP STORE that locates all duplicate files.  It lets you choose to delete them or not.
    such as:
    http://macpaw.com/gemini
    there are many such apps.

  • Two dumba$$ questions

    Sorry, I know these are two really stupid questions, but I know nothing at all. I've just bought a new iBook after ahving a really ancient Mac. Both my questions are to do with Garageband...so here goes...
    Question 1
    What other equipment do I need to be able to record real instruments (string quartet)?
    Question 2
    I was just having some fun the other night, making up some stuff and trying to familiarize myself with the whole Garageband thing (which I love already).
    As I was adding loops I had the sneaking suspicion that some where starting to go missing - why was there an 'Acoustic Noodling' numbers 2, 3, 4 etc but no number 1? Where were 'Asian Gamelan' 3 and 4?
    Chose not to save anything I'd done so far and after did a quick search in the Garageband loops search bit, but nothing came up. Went through the installation disk thinking it would put back anything that had gone missing. Still nothing. Did a spotlight search and a few of the items I thought had gone missing were in iTunes.
    Maybe they were never in the Garageband loops samples first place? Is this possible? Is there somewhere that lists what loops come with Garageband? I'm starting to doubt my own sanity, especially since I went through the installation disk...
    I now have the following samples on my desktop - ones which I thought had gone AWOL:
    Acoustic Noodling 1; Asian Gamelan 3 and 4;
    Middle Eastern Oud 3 and 4.
    I have tried to drag them into the Garageband loops section, but they seem to disappear into the iTunes...I have no idea what's going on...
    Apologies in advance for these dumb questions.

    For what you need to do your string quartet recording, read HangTime's FAQ to get started:
    http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html
    Contrary to what you might think, you probably don't want to record the four members of the quartet separately on their own tracks, each with a mic close to the instrument. String quartets need to play all the parts together at once, to get the best feel and performance.
    You'll probably want to put up a pair of mikes arranged in a stereo pattern, at some distance from the string quartet (a couple of meters at least), in a nice live-sounding room. Mike placement techniques are hard to describe in this kind of forum, but you can find textbooks on the subject with diagrams.
    You'll need a matched pair of better-than-average-quality condenser microphones, and an audio-to-computer interface with better-than-average preamps.

Maybe you are looking for
