Dumbest Question Ever

Ok,
I have Garageband 1.1.0 on my computer...I want to have the latest version, but when I tried to install the latest (3.0.4), the old comp-tor said:
GarageBand_304 cannot be installed on this computer.
An eligible GarageBand application was not found in /Applications.
So I figured, mine's probably too old and that one's too new...I'll just get an older version of GB that's newer than mine...so I downloaded 2.0.2 and got the same exact message...
Where do I find the version that I can download so I can start climbing up the ladder towards a new version of the program?
RELATED QUESTION
My friend also has Garageband (the newest version I do believe), and he tried to send me a file which contains a song that we're working on...but when I copied it to my computer, and tried to open it, it said "damaged file", followed by "Not a Defender File"...the latter comment I found somewhat curious, since I have not heard of "Garageband: Defender"...Anyway, I can't open the file...hence I began hunting for updates, thinking that might be the key to why I can't get at the file. One other detail...I thought maybe the type of CD he copied to might be affecting things...its a Memorex...are they like, not good or something?
Anyway, if anyone can shed some light on any of this, I'd be most obliged.

Sorry,
I am really picky about this, because my company writes and sells software. There is nothing worse to us than a pirate. We use a dongle to protect ourselves, but let me tell you, the open admission of a crime is being committed simply by mentioning methods to get software for free.
I know that won't be a popular thought, but if nothing else, there are kids here and if they see adults making these suggestions, they feel it is okay. Stealing is stealing, whether gum at the store or software off the net.

PS: You can do the following, search out OEM versions of the software via google, it will be cheaper. Or, you can find someone who doesn't need their copy. I got my XP Pro install disk that way... The software is only loaded once, keeping the license in tact. In fact, in my case, the wrapper was still on the disk!

Might be the Dumbest Question ever!

Can I put IDVD on an external 1tb hard drive and connect a dvd burner, using a partition so that the program and half the drive space is used for operations and half is used for ram. What I am wanting to do is work a project up on my computer, then send it to I DVD program on the stand alone, hard drive/dvd burner to burn to Disk. My thought is that the I DVD project would burn to disk on the stand alone, while I continue with other projects on my computer. O.K. I'm really dreaming here., Huh?

Hello, and welcome to the discussions,
I have not tried this, so I am not certain about my response, but it has been my understanding that all the iLife applications must reside on your computer's main drive in order to function properly. You can put iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes files on external drives, and you can create iDVD projects on external drives. You could put iDVD project disk image files on an external drive and burn those, but then you would still have to create the disk image files on your computer, which would take the same time and computer-intensity as burning a disk. I currently have four external drives for my media files, disk image files, iPhoto and iTunes libraries and backups and all my iMovies, but I keep the iLife apps on my computer's hard drive.

Probably the dumbest questions ever.

Hello, I am new to flash. I can't get the button
functionality to work so that I can display it in Dreamweaver for
the site that I am creating. I made buttons in photoshop, but I
want the text to have the mouse over/down effect. After importing
them into Flash, it appeared I was able to get the up/over/down/hit
to work because I can preview it. But when insert the flash file
into dreamweaver its just a gray box and not a button. There has to
be something I'm doing wrong after I import it. Or, I don't fully
understand the publish settings thing. Do you have to do that and
insert all that javascript code in your page for each button? I'm
so confused...please help.
Kris.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

World's Dumbest Question?

If I "download/open" a word, pdf, ppt file in Mail on my Ipod Tocuh, where does it go, and how do I access or delete it later? Do I need to alway go back to the email? If I delete the email does the document get deleted?
Yeah, I know...dumb questions, but I can't figure it out and did my best to find the answer before posting.
Thanks

For the most part, the iPhone/iPod touch don't really have full file storage/management capabilities just yet. If the documents are stored on a web page or in an e-mail message, you can only view them when you are looking at the page or message.
There is a file utility on the App Store called FileMagnet that gives you a place to store documents and transfer them back and forth with your Mac. It's handy, but it's still not full-fledged file management.
And don't worry - this is far from the world's dumbest question. Try browsing a couple of pages here and you'll see what I mean.

Dumbest newbie question ever! What's that menu icon called?

Hi,
Sorry for being so lame, but I can't figure out the name of the image on the menu so I can read how to work with it.
For example, if I take a clip and drop it into the Basic graphical view as a new item, it defaults to the first frame of video as the image on the main menu. What's that image called and how do you change it to another image in the clip?
Some applications call that image the poster frame or the clip icon.
Thanks so much for your patience!

Sounds like you are referring to a drop zone (you may have dragged it in and made a button or someething ellse from the dialog?)
Anyway highllight the button or drop zone and then use the inspector to set the in point.
One the drop zone you can drag to start frame (there are no tabs), in the button it is under style tab
If you press F3 key you will see this setup

The inspector is the purple section lower right side

Easiest Yes/No Question Ever

I usually don't post in here, but I came up with one of those "for the life me I just can't remember if this should work or not" questions that struck me as being too newbie-esque to ask elsewhere.
So, given the following, in real code, but with pseudo variables and methods purely for decoration:
for (Object object : objects)
    if (object.isSomething() == true)
        object.setSomething(false);
        break;
}Yes or No: That "break;" will break out of the for loop, correct?

Holy shit. Easiest question possible and you guys fucked it up.Who was it that asked it, again? You couldn't answer it, and couldn't even get your head out your arse enough to think of a way of finding out, and yet it's the guys you asked for help who fucked it up. Interesting
Perhaps I shouldn't have posted in here at all since this forum is usually for newbies. I just thought that since I was already on the forums, asking in here would be quicker than just looking it up. Apparently, I was horribly, horribly wrong.Well, yeh, you were wrong. Is it really easier to log onto this forum, post the question and sit and wait for a reply, than it is to simply compile and run the code? Or looking it up?
So the answer, as I knew, but just couldn't remember offhand because I hardly ever do it, is "yes," as per: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/branch.html]
See? That was easier, wasn't it? Dumbass
I am never coming into this sub-forum again.Oh no. Now what will we do when we need an entitled, over-opinionated simpleton? Oh yeh, there's a seemingly endless line of you lot waiting their turn to come here looking for flamewars. And it's only Monday

Stupidest question ever, yet very important to me

ok I want to uninstall my sdk1.3.1_04, and this is a stupid question because there's no uninstaller, should I delete the whole folder? I'm going to download the newest one, and use the online tutor to help me out, the "learn java2 in 21 days book" is very annoying if you ask me, I don't like how they write in such a complicated language, is he writting in english, or in binary??? for god's sake he shouldn't expect us to understand such complicated english use, my grandmother who is a very good in english had a hard time understanding this, so the tutor which I checked out is pretty good, and I think has better order than the book. so anyway should I delete the whole folder? cuz I'm really mad at this stuff. thx in advance

you guys are so helpful no matter what the topic is, unlike newbie haters. thankyou very much. I must say that I dislike it when to get help, people have to put themselves down by begging to answer a question, or emphacizing how stupid they must be.
The thing is, that we all were there at some point, not knowing how to move the mouse, or wondering about the purpose of the Enter key.
And saying to somebody something like "Go, search the web" might not be the answer. Some people don't know how to search the web. That's true. Only with experience you know what keywords you need to put, and into what search engine. I am surprized there is not comprehensive FAQ on all the details of how to search/get info somewhere. At least, I am not aware of it.
But either way, some Java gurus out there should drop their attitude.

Quite possibly the stupidest iTunes question ever!

I almost never listened to iTunes until recently; I used it to manage content that I only listened to on my iPod. Now I find myself listening to iTunes a lot, seated in front of my computer.
Here's my question: Why do some playlists play straight through, while others don't? I have a few playlists that require me to click on each individual song to hear it - it won't just play through.
What do I need to do to make my iTunes playlists play all the way through?!?
Acer TravelMate 4070 1.73 Ghz 504 RAM Windows XP Pro SP2; iTunes v6.0.4.2

hiya!
(sorry Zevoneer ... you answer wasn't displaying for me when i made my previous post)
I'll just have to get into the habit of unchecking them when I'm done, or I'll end up filling his iPod mini up with "crap" he'd never want to listen to. ;-)
hmmmm. using "Only update checked songs" can get a little unmanageable when you're trying to keep a lot of songs of an ipod.
why not try "Automatically update selected playlists only" instead?
create a new playlist ("mini syncing"?) containing the songs that you think he can stomach on the ipod.
then go into your "ipod" preferences tab (while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the sourcelist), select "Automatically update selected playlists only", select "mini syncing" in the window under that, uncheck "update checked songs only", and click okay.
then you'd manage what goes on the ipod by moving songs in and out of the "mini syncing" playlist in itunes, and then syncing the mini.
(and you can recheck all the songs in your itunes library without having that affect what goes on the ipod.)

Possibly the dumbest question about MapLoader

I've noticed that it is advised to use Maps once with the memory card in before trying to upload maps through MapLoader.
My question is, do I have to be connected to internet while doing this?
If I don't there is something wrong because I can't upload maps as MapLoader says my device is not connected when it actually is.
Any help is very appreciated!
The n95 klutz

Hi kappy
No you don't have to be connected to Internet at same time. When you exit Maps application with microSD in your N95 and data is saved, it creates the folder structure on microSD needed by Maploader to write the maps data.

Maybe the stupidest question ever, but Please Help

I read on this forum that I should use the link provided to get the 10.4.9 combo update and that I should use that instead of the one provided in the regular software update. So I downloaded this combo update tomy desktop.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html
It opened in the Finder window, and now I don't know where to drag it. does it go in Applications, or where????
Thanks.

I also downloaded the Combo update for macbook pro today.
But instead of getting a dmg file and double clicking it, etc. I had a different experience.
I just went to the apple page that had the download,
the clicked the download button, and the download began.
Then when when the download ended, the software installed itself. I only had to answer a few questions, like where do i want to install it, and agree to terms of use, etc.
But i didn't have to double click a .DMG file or drag to application forlder.
Why was my way different?

TS3354 This cannot be played in HD on this computer. hi, this is the FIRST time i have had this question ever, high def always works , i downloaded one only a week ago, and updated my itunes today. but it still will not allow it.movies own work fine still

i tried to download a movie from itunes store just few minutes ago, it told me "This cannot be played in HD on this computer.
rather insane as I have recently purchased HD films with no issues or concerns at all. I have also updated to the most recent itunes software, yet it still gives me this same error message. and also all movies that i oiwn in HD do work without any problems. I read as much i could but its still giving me this message when i attempt to download. it only gives me the option to get the standard definition version of the film. which is not what I want. Any help on this please? thanks!.

After I reformatted my Window 7 machine I'm getting this error too. I deauthorized all my devices and started fresh with my newly reformatted PC thinking that would solve the issue but no go...
Any insight?

Stupidest question ever - how do you do an "and" search in Dreamweaver MX

OK I know this must be easy I want to search a large site (circa 3,500 files) for "google" and "key=" in the source code to try and track instances of an out of date Google maps API key.
How the heck can you do this? I have tried using various regular expressions - [^] (ie characters not in this list and leave the list empty). This seemed the best candidate but I have tried everything and one hour later I feel like gnawing my own leg off.
Can anyone help pls? BTW I seem to have accidentally gone back a version or two when I installed this on my little Eee and I am now using MX circa 2004! I must find my later CDs.
TIA
Steve

I don't know what comes between them. I am trying to find any page that uses the google maps API - I am not even 100% certain this will find them all. I am looking for any page with the word google and the string key= anywhere in the source code - it could have anything in between. This is why I want a simple AND search.
Off to try the string.
Seems to work fine (minus the extra ").
Thanks very much for that
And, to my horror have already found two different keys in use!
More maybe later. If not many thanks.
Steve
