Egad! Learning to use the G15

Egad!
This computer has everything but a secretary!
Love it, but can't figure out exactly what to do. The e-manual doesn't cover everthing.
My biggest question is in the tv tuner. Will it only work if I have a cable coaxial? Is there a built in antenna or some peripheral I can buy to tune into local channels (I'm in the USA)?

Hi
I am pretty sure that you need some antenna for local channels too. Am I right? Or there is some another way to watch this programs? Do you need some decoder for local TV programs?
I have no much experience but the best way to send TV signal into notebook is by using Coaxial antenna in port.
On back side of your G15 there is also S-video in port. This port you can use for signal insertion to your notebook.

Need Recommendation of Online Sources in Learning to Use the Relational DBs

Please recommend some online sources in learning to use the relational databases; such as the ways relational databases are different from flat files, how to retrieve data from relational database tables. Thank you.

Actually I figured the OP was looking for a source that would instruct one in building ones own database rather than using an existing one.
Myself I would just buy a book (or read the one I already have.) I wouldn't expect to find to many sources like that online althoug one might find some college course materials for a class.

E-Learning Toolkit - using the Learning Site

Hi
I don't know if anyone wil be able to help me or not but I'll
give it a shot:-
I have recently bought a copy of the Dreamweaver MX
e-Learning Toolkit by Michaal Doyle. My version of Dreamweaver is
Dreamweaver MX 2004 which may be why I am havign a problem.
I have created my e-learning package but i am having problems
setting up the M/S Access database to track results of the tests i
have written into to the package.
The book tells go into Site/Learning Site/Modify Learnign
Site and then put a tick in the Data Tracking box on the site tab,
but for some reason thsi is greyed out so i cannot tick it!! It
does say next to the tab that this requires Dreamweaver UltraDev
but this software is no longer available. I need to do this so i
can Define the DSN which then gives me access to the admin site.
Can anyone help - if you need any more info just let me know
Thanks you so much

Learning to use the iMac.

I would like to know if there is an online site within Apple were I could receive free lessons on how to use my new iMac. I am an avid Windows PC user who just crossed over to the Mac platform and I was promised it would be a smooth transition but quite frankly, I feel like a first time PC user. I need some online video tutorials. I just don't think I should pay for them.

Is there any one who knows how to apply machine learning algorithms to the spectrum data collected using ni usrp for ism band to use spectrum efficiently by link adaptation

Hi,
may i know any one working in cognitive radio research and applying machine learning techniques using the spectrum data collected from NI usrp kits

Can't edit my message anymore, so for the tldr crowd (too long didn't read), here is a shorter version:
The good:
E4200 worked fine for about 15 hours with great throughput and link quality (with one brief disconnect in the middle - online gaming software shows brief disconnects that otherwise go totally unnoticed).
The bad:
Wireless on the E4200 stopped broadcasting entirely (to a Windows 7 laptop with a 802.11n 2.4 GHZ USB adapter).
I had switched between two adapters that use the same chipset, same driver and in fact show up as a single device in device manager) without rebooting the router but it worked (fine) for an hour after I swapped the adapters.
Right before I rebooted it, I checked and the E4200 was not hot to the touch and wired internet was still working after the wireless radio stopped working.
A reboot of the router cured it.
The open question as to the root cause:
Now I want to know whether this wireless radio ceasing to broadcast (requires a reboot of the E4200) will happen daily?
I.e. I want to know whether it it really is overheating (then again why would only some have that problem needing to reboot daily while others have gone weeks with the E4200 without a single reboot being needed and without any problems occurring) or whether it had to do with changing the adapters back and forth without rebooting the router. Keep in mind that the router worked fine for an hour or so after I stopped swapping the adapters.
Extra question:
Will getting a Cisco AE1000 USB adapter perhaps help? (I know this is a loaded question and their is no easy / sure answer, but even a "maybe" or reasons why it might help at this point would be better than nothing.
Any similar experiences (with the router needing to be rebooted to get wireless radio back on) would be appreciated as it may help myself and others experiencing these types of issues.

Can I use the old Classic mode on a new iMac?

On my old iMac G5 running OS X 10.3.9, I also had a "Classic" mode that worked with all my old apps. I just bought a newer iMac (10 months old) running OS X version 10.6.6. Can I install Classic on it too? If not, is there some other way that I can run my old Photoshop, Word etc. on my new computer?

The various free Office-like open source applications are great, however learning to use the Gimp, for anyone who is used to the way Photoshop and Mac programs work, is a challenge. And that is an understatement of the case! Instead of struggling with the Gimp, for less than 100 bucks one can buy Photoshop Elements. It will do everything the Classic version of Photoshop would do, that "regular" people would want, and then some (there are some things that professionals do, such as working with CMYK, that Elements doesn't do). Another option is Pixelmator, but I've been trying it (it was on sale in the new Mac App Store), and it just isn't as good as PS Elements, and its regular price isn't all that much cheaper.

How do I use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A plus

I need help with learning to use the double sided printing with my HP Officejet 6500A Plus

Click on the Show Details button just above:
You can configure various options from the dropdown menu just below Orientation.
Printing two-sided requires a two-sided adaptor for the printer. Otherwise, you have to print out odd numbered pages first, turn them over and reinsert into the paper feeder, then print even numbered pages. If you do it right you get a nice two-sided document. If you do it wrong all the even numbered pages will be upside down.

Learning to use SPP

[SOLVED] Vocabulary Trainer or Learning Archit. for the Command Line

I am writing my PhD in English which actually is not my native language. So vocabulary and expression learning is an important task. When I came to Arch part of the decision was also ralted to my whish to work as close to the Command Line as possible. So I am looking everywhere to find a vocabulary trainer for the shell. Unfortunately I was not able to find even one. I looked:
- at the Arch Wiki 'List of Applications'
- at the Ubuntu Wiki 'Shell Applications'
- at http://www.jaredandcoralee.com/CLIapps.html
- searched both the Arch and Ubuntu Wiki
- searched Google for 'Vocabulary Trainer cli', 'Vocabulary Tainer terminal emulator', 'Vocabulary Trainer Linux Shell'
Is anyone aware of such an application for the shell or has anyone ideas for a kind of work around using a combination of existing software/shell scripts/shell commands.
Thanky you.
PS: Of cause I could just start something like simple Python Script working with a csv file or something comparabla. But if possible I would like to avoud this DIY solution.

I don't know of any training tools of that variety. Generally this is a "learn by doing" situation - which fits with language learning as well: flash cards can seem handy, but to really learn a language, you just need to start using it.
To "just start using" the shell, I'd suggest greg's wiki
Ok, I think there is a misunderstanding. My question does not relate to learn to use the shell. Although far from being perfect I already feel quite comfortable with the shell and its ways to interact with the system.
It's really more basic. I have to improve my English. And in this context I need a vocabulary trainer, to learn english words and english academic expressions, nothing more. And as I am feeling quite close to the shel it would have been nice to train english vocabulary on the shell and not with something like KWordQuiz, etc.
Sorry if my description was ambiguous. So the question still is, is there a vocabulary trainer for self defined english vocabulary to train in the shell?
PS: Of cause also learning english is something you mostly do by learning. But I will do that anyhow as I am writing the PhD in english and as I am presenting in English. Anyhow I experienced that there is a part in foreign language learning where there is no real subsitutde for learning it with a vocabulary trainer.

When using the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, the changes made are applied to the whole image.

Hi, I'm just trying to learn to use the gradient filter in Lightroom 4, and I've watched several videos, but when I place the gradient on the photo (I've tried several different photos) and make adjustments, the entire image changes. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?
Thanks!
Michele

My sincere thanks to those trying to help me. I've found the problem and feel extraordinarily stupid. In looking at screenshots in a tutorial, I realized the box that pops up for the controls for the graduated filter was collapsed on my screen. Once I clicked the arrow and got the proper controls, it works like it should. It's been a while since I felt this dumb!! But I guess that's why they call it the Beginner's forum, eh?
Thanks again!

How to create a user account by mirroring another account in PowerShell (Trying to learn to use Powshell for some daily AD tasks intead of the GUI)

Hi,
I am trying to create user accounts via PowerShell instead of the Gui in server 2008 R2 (PowerShell 2.0).
I know how to create a user account with the following Power Shell command below is one from a dummy domain I created to practice.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> New-ADUser -SamAccountName "TestOut" -UserPrincipalNa
me "[email protected]" -GivenName "Test" -Surname "out" -DisplayName "Testou
t" -Name "Testout" -Enabled $true -Path "CN=users,DC=bwcat,DC=net,DC=int" -Accou
ntPassword (Read-Host -AsSecureString "Enter Account Password")
However when doing day to day tasks where I work normally we have a new hire, they contact IT and ask that a user account is created. I will ask who they would like to mirror.
I then would go into the gui pull up the user that they want to mirror right click him and choose copy. This would create a new user account that I would then fill out.
I am wondering if its possible to do this same thing via PowerShell, or if its not an option because it takes more work type up everything than it does to go into the gui and do it.
Anyway thanks for the help.

Hi Wilder, hi Mark,
first of all: The tutorial sources Mark posted - especially the book "Powershell 3 in A month of lunches" - are good to get a baseline start. A really great reference, especially when you try to learn it while still dealing with your daily business.
On another note, Wilder: While I fully agree that learning things sequentially is usually the best, I too jumped right in instead of learning how to walk first (though it's been some time now. Fewer years than you'd think, but still ...). So I thought I'd
give you a little aid with that function husk, so you could just stuff interesting bits into an available structure, making use of the fun tools in a useful context (It's fun fiddling around with the commands, but if you have to type in all of them manually
each time, using the GUI is often just faster. Doing fun things and being efficient with it feels even better though ...). So ... while I
do agree with yourself, learn it the Correct & Proper Way, I also do
intend to finish this little explanation about the husk, all the way to the end.
Everything below this paragraph is part of this.

# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
This is again the same function husk I posted earlier. Only this time, I filled a little logic (the pieces that were already posted in this thread). This time, I'll not only go over each part again ... I'll do it by reposting the segments and trying to show
some examples on how to modify the parts. Thus some of it will be repetitive, but this way all the info is in one spot.
Segment: Comment Based Help
<#
.SYNOPSIS
A brief description of the Copy-ADUser function.
.DESCRIPTION
A detailed description of the Copy-ADUser function.
.PARAMETER GivenName
A description of the GivenName parameter.
.PARAMETER Surname
A description of the Surname parameter.
.PARAMETER Template
A description of the Template parameter.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
.NOTES
Additional information about the function.
#>
That's the premier documentation part of a function, that teaches a user what the function does and how to use it. It's what's shown when using the Get-Help cmdlet.
Comment texts are not restricted to single lines however. For example you could replace ...
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
... with ...
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Copy-ADUser -GivenName "Max" -Surname "Mustermann" -Template "Jonny.Normal"
Creates a new user named Max Mustermann and copies the group memberships of the already existing user Jonny Normal to this new User
... and get an explanation on what the example does when using Get-Help with the
-Detailed parameter (Explaining examples is always a good idea).
Segment: Parameter
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Surname,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$GivenName,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Template
This is the segment that tells Powershell what input your function accepts. Each parameter of Copy-ADUser you set will be available in the next segment as a variable of the same name. You can add additional parameters if you need more information for your
logic. For example, let's add a parameter that allows you to specify what Organization the new user should belong to:
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Surname,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$GivenName,
[string]
$Organization,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$Template
That's how that would look like. You may notice that I didn't add the line with
"[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] this time. This means you
may add the Organization parameter when calling Copy-ADUser, but you need not.
Segment: Logic
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
This is the part of the function that does the actual work. Compared to the first husk I posted, this time there are two commands in it (and some comments). First, I create a new user, using the information passed into
the parameters -Surname and -GivenName. Then I Copy the group memberships of the user identified by the information given by the
-Template parameter.
So, let's modify it!
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
Now after adding a few lines, the logic will tell us what it's doing (and do so before it
is taking action)!
Hm ... didn't we create a change in the Parameter Segment to add an -Organization parameter? Let's use it!
# If the -Organization parameter was set, the $Organization variable will be longer than 0. Thus do ...
if ($Organization.Length -gt 0)
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname in the Organization $Organization"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -Organization $Organization -PassThru
# If the -Organization parameter was NOT set, the $Organization variable will have a length of 0. Thus the if-condition does not apply, thus we do the else block
else
# Tell the user you are starting
Write-Host "Starting to create the user account for $GivenName $Surname"
# Create new User
$NewUser = New-ADUser -Surname $Surname -GivenName $GivenName -DisplayName "$Surname, $GivenName" -SamAccountName "$GivenName.$Surename" -Name "$Surename, $GivenName" -PassThru
# Tell the user you are copying Group Memberships
Write-Host "Copying the group-memberhips of $Template to $GivenName $Surname"
# Copy from old User
$NewUser | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf (Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $Template | Where { $_.Name -ne 'Domain Users' })
# Do Whatever else you feel like doing
There! Now we first check whether the -Organization parameter was set (it's not mandatory after all, so you can skip it). If it
was set, do whatever is in the curly braces after if (...). However, if it wasn't set, do whatever is in the curly braces after
else.
And that concludes my "minor" (and hopefully helpful) tutorial on how to use the function husk I posted :)
With this, whenever you find another cool command that helps you in the user creation process, you can simply add it, similar to what I did in these examples.
And if it all didn't make much sense, go through the tutorials in proper order and come back - it'll make much more sense then.
Cheers and good luck with PowerShell,
Fred

I really need help from a human being in using the iTunes store. 4 years ago we got an audio book on learning japanese to play on the ipod. Now the iTunes store just wants to sell me apps for the iphone or ipad. I do not have iphone or ipad. I want...

Sheesh! This old man of 70 is really lost in how to use this Apple support community or how to use the iTunes store search. I do not even know what question to ask.
James Gray

Because you stated that you were looking at audiobooks that you could download to the iPod, and talking about apps only being for the iPad and iPhone and none for the iPod. So, even though the source was the iTunes store, you implied that what you were looking for needed to go on the iPod.
Look, we are not Apple here. We are just fellow users of Apple equipment. We volunteer our time here to try to help people out with issues.
The reason I needed to know what model of iPod you have was because you were asking about apps. However, unless you have an iPod Touch, there aren't any apps you can purchase from iTunes for it. And that was what I was trying to establish. Now that we have eliminated the option of apps from the discussion, we can focus on Audiobooks.
As far as Audiobooks go, you can sync any audiobook that your purchase in iTunes to your Nano.
So, as I indicated in the previous post, if you are looking for Audiobooks then go to the iTunes Store, and in the search bar in the top right-hand corner, type in "Learn Spanish Audiobooks". A list of available audiobooks to learn Spanish will display.
Best of luck,
GB

Can i use a launguage learning app on the nano

i wannt use the nano to learn another laugauge can i do it?

Hello Josh,
You won't be able to use any App, since Apps are not compatible with your Nano. However, you can upload language learning CDs/tracks to your iTunes library and sync those to your iPod.
Otherwise, there is no other way. Sorry.
