Fancy stuff - Skinning!

I had a nice idea to implement skinning in my JHS evaluation-project.
I have a simple Combo-list in my header in which the use can choose a skin. After choosing one the skin is stored as a cookie.
With this cookie value I want to point dynamically to the stylesheet (directory) to be used.
In the Application Struture file you can tell the application generator what stylesheet to use by using the Stylesheet Relative Url attribute (default value: jheadstart/css/jspStyles.css)
This results in every page as:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='/rsa/jheadstart/css/jspStyles.css'/>
</head>
I was wondering if someon has an idea to manipulate the value in the Stylesheet Relative Url (or in any other way) so the stylesheet in a variabele directory is used.
Maybe using JSTL variables?? Using $??

Hi,
As you descripted in the post, the script should be added to a WinPE, not a WinRE,
WinRE has two primary functions, that of diagnosing problems using the Startup Repair tool and providing a platform for advanced recovery tools,
http://blogs.msdn.com/winre/
While in a WinPE, you can Set up a Windows PE Build Environment, Add Additional Packages, extra steps you can refer to this for help:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709665(v=ws.10).aspx
Another thing is the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) is necessary for customizing a WinPE, you can find it from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
As for the script, I suggest to add PowerShell to Windows PE, steps as below:
1.Install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK), adding the Deployment Tools and Windows PE features.
2.Start the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment as an administrator.
3.Create a working copy of the Windows PE files. Specify either x86, amd64, or arm

I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class now and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, heard Apple will drop support. Help?

While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

Doing fancy stuff in Windows Recovery Environment

Hi,
I am trying to do some clever stuff in WinRE but I am unsure if it supports it. firstly I would like to be able to run a script as soon as WinRE has loaded which will output some text in a text file on the local disk (this script can be any language but
I would prefer PowerShell if its supported)
then I would like to start networking
and then call another script which is located on a server share.
is this possible at all to get things started on system startup when in the WinRE?
thanks
Steve

Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite

Hello All. Here’re some of the details/background info…hopefully all this won’t be so annoying. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
I have 2 Mac Pro’s (Early 2008) 3,1 both running SL (10.6.8). One I have been using non-stop throughout these years, I’d call it MP 2008 (A). The other one once belong to a friend who actually bought it around the same time I purchased mine, only that he didn’t use it much and just recently decided to sell it to me. I’d call it MP 2008 (B). Both MP’s are very light on data on the main, boot HD, just applications,… as everything I work on is kept in external hard drives and backups. I do not usually download any third party stuff (only when strictly necessary for my work) and essentially it’s all about the software and applications (Adobe CS3 and LR 0.2) I need to do my pretty basic work.
All pretty old stuff by now, I know.
Following a couple of mishaps and lots of good advice in these forums, (thanks to the hatter, etc.) I went ahead and bought 16GB of RAM for both, and an NVidia Graphics Card (all from Amazon.com) for my MP 2008 (A) to replace it after it went bad, and everything has been working just fine. As you can tell, I have not tried to upgrade much, but rather keep everything stock and running as smoothly as possible.
I am afraid the next big, important thing I MUST do is back up my almost 6 years-old HD (I know, it should’ve been done long ago). Frankly, I have never done it before because I didn’t even know that could be possible…I learned about it right here, in this forum. In this sense, much I have also read (here) about the SSD option, and about how great of an upgrade that could be too, but I have decided to stick to the regular 3.5” for now. (I just recently found out those SSD even existed!). Hopefully, once I gain a bit of confidence on how this works I’ll jump into the SSD option, cards, etc. So, I purchased 2X 3.5” SATA III HD’s to try cloning my MP 2008 (A) boot, main HD and get this process over with.
QUESTIONS
QUESTION #1: After installing the internal hard drives in bays 2 and 3: Do I have to specifically format them in order to turn them into bootable copies? If so, how do I do that? I have read about using ‘Disk Utility’ to format external hard drives for this purpose but I don’t know if that would apply for internal hard drives as well.
QUESTION #2: What are the settings/features you all recommend I should select/or deselect on CCC so I can have exact, bootable copies of my original HD? No fancy stuff, advanced options, etc…just what I need to have good enough copies that just work.
QUESTION #3: How do I test them?
I noticed that under “System Preferences/System/Startup Disk” I can select the drive/system I want to use to start up my computer from. My question is:
QUESTION #4: Can I permanently choose any of the Mac Pro four (4) bays/bootable hard drives as the main drive/system for startup? I always thought I could only be done from the original, ‘main’ bootable drive in bay 1.
QUESTION #5: What if the copy fails? How do I go back to the HD that works or to the next copy, for that matter?
About my MP 2008 (B): In an effort to sell me his MP, my friend (as knowledgeable as I am) messed up something that delays the start up a lot. I noticed that in the finder, the applications appear double, etc., so I am not so happy with it. Even though the little house icon has his name in the finder, he was able to make me the Administrator for the machine (I don’t know how). But again, it starts up to the typical chime, then a gray screen for quite a loooong while, then the apple logo, then the loading animation…and theeennnn it starts…and no known issues from there. In other words, I am sure he messed something up there while transferring this machine to me and now its startup is so delayed.
QUESTION #6: Let’s say that both the bootable HD copies I created on my MP 2008 (A) work fine: Can I take one out and install it in my MP 2008 (B) and eventually turn it into my startup drive and work from there too? Will this eventually lead to conflicting stuff? (Two machines, same identical cloned start up drive??).
Eventually, the plan is that I learn how to do all this so I can move on and upgrade with a clean install of Yosemite pretty soon.
Hopefully, both my Mac Pro’s 2008 A and B will last me a bit more and I can get to squeeze a few more seasons from them. They are awesome machines!
As you can tell, in theory I might have a little bit of a clue, but all is in the details. If you don’t mind, please shed some light on this process I am about to begin…thanks a bunch!

Thank you!

Re: Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite in response to Juan Huerta
All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
Erase the target and try again.
But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me. I wonder if I could access the Apple Store with my ID though...it's all under my name in that computer though, so I figure that at the Apple Store I'd just enter my ID...I guess, I have not tried that yet
Yes.

Jmx Services as Business Services ?

I am wondering if JMX service are just for managing or even suitable to use as business services.
In my new work all remote (business) service invocation is done by using jmx services which i find rather freaky.
The people there come from implementing in C++ and are doing the shift to Java to use JBoss and all, so they're looking for all the java fancy stuff and stacking it all together. Some architectural decisions are questionable, imo.
Maybe im too long into java to see the possibilities.. I thought JMX is (best used) for managing (only).. are Jmx invocations scalable ?
What do u think ?
Any hints, suggestions welcome.

This isn't the first time I've heard of JMX technology being used as a general-purpose distributed object model. While that isn't the principal design centre of the technology, it is a reasonably good fit in some circumstances. The main advantages people have cited to explain why they make this choice are, first, the notification (event) support, which provides a simple but powerful model that does not require the server to be able to make a connection back to the client; second, a good security model; and third, the fact that it has been part of the core Java platform since 2004, which means not only that it is trivial to deploy but also that it is maintained.
The main disadvantage is that it does not come with built-in support for transactions, although that can be achieved by having the JMX MBeans use the Java Transaction API, for example.
Concerning scalability, the technology is reasonably scalable along the various dimensions (number of managed objects, number of servers, number of clients). Scalability is one of the main targets of the work we are doing on the next version of the API, due to ship with the Java 7 platform, but the existing scalability will usually be enough except for the biggest deployments.

SQL and database file

Hello.(sorry for my english)
I have a legacy system , ported to opencobol that uses Berkeley DB. I can successfully open the database files using java both in windows and linux. However i want to create a web front end for the application.
Data is stored using strange cobol structures (most numbers are stored as text or 4 bits per digit) and other fancy stuff.. so custom parsers should be written. (dont rember BDB classes name for that)
I have been reading the documentation of Berkeley DB 12 hours totaly today but couldnt find answers to some questions...
Is it possible to attach the database to dbsql.exe (sqlite) server ?? I tried to do "attach "..pathtofile" as NULL ,but i get multiple databases specified and not supported and other stupid messages....
I think that what i tried propably doesnt make sense as collumns arent specified and nothing is in order this thing to work ..It is a simple Key value database.
So i am a little stucked here.
The only solution i can think is to synchronize with a relational Database. But i dont have triggers or nothing that helps....
Note that i want one way synchronization. The "other way" will have very limited tasks.
It seems to me that checking every x minutes if something changed using a cursor is a demanding task. So i am wondering.. Is there a way to track changes???
Thank you :)
Edited by: 843912 on 12 Μαρ 2011 7:13 μμ

Hello,
I am not sure I completely understand your question. If you are asking about importing
and exporting data from a Berkeley DB database into an Oracle DB Table in Berkeley DB
releases prior to 5.*, then this can be done with the Oracle OCI interface. If I am
misunderstanding the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Sandra

Can't login to wireless network. Deleted network but still time-out trying to login without asking for new password

Well I am downgrading (if you can call it that). Leopard and Snow leopard are just superior OS's for power users. All the fancy stuff put in Lion actually slowed it down considerably among all the other bugs..... but anyway
I changed my network password today. My mbp on lion cannot access the network. I deleted the saved names in network preferences, I rebooted my modem an router, even cleared the DNS cache in Terminal. It still tries to connect to the network and times out... without asking me for the new WEP password I have put on the network.
My other laptop on snow leapord does what it is supposed to. Deleted the network name in network preferences, clicked on network name to get online, and then it requested the password name. Why doesn't Lion do this??
Like I said before I did all the above. I don't know what else to do. I also manually deleted the keychain passwords. Still no luck. I guess I have to rename my network lol.

Access the router's admin area and put in a new password.

New to Pre. Some issues! (ringtone, transfers etc)

Greetings everyone,
I had a Samsung D900 for 2 years and just upgraded to Pre (O2-UK). To my horror I realised I cannot transfer my contacts via bluetooth!! How crazy is that Palm??! so I copied my contact numbers to my sim card which only holds 250, that is short of 100 on my phone memory!
I do not have Outlook
I do not have google acc or MS exchange
I do not want to cough up more money to buy another software
1-What is my best bet of transferring my old contacts to Pre. Also some of my precious old texts? (i'm not fussy about constant sync)
2-How can I copy the contacts from sim to Pre?
3-I updated my Pre software last night. I cannot listen to any of the sample ringstones!!! so i have to keep calling myself from another phone to hear the **bleep** thing! Anyone has the same issue?
Please note that I am not an idiot and am electronic engineer myself but I think Palm has failed to get some of the basics absolutly covered before pimping up the other fancy stuff here. It gives me a mixed and confused feeling. From one hand I like it and wanted something other than iPhone since everyone got one! On the other hand, some basic things are such a pain! Why on earth putting bluetooth when you cannot take a full advantage of it?!! Madness!
Many thanks in advance to whoever that can help me resolve my issues.
Cheers
B

I have the same issue. Apparently you can only "copy" 1 contact at a time but u have to edit it before copy it. How retarded is that?

I'm new to Java and can't get javac command working

Ok first of all hello ( i'm new to the forum ), second i'm reading a book about Java and im trying to compile a sample code from the book, but javac command gained life and it's against me. So the book i'm reading is Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days (YAY), and the code i want to compile is an application that works with another bit of code that mimics what a robot could do inside a volcano. So the Volcano program code is the following ( i'll post the robot code at the end of the post):
1: class VolcanoApp {
2: public static void main(String[] arguments) {
3: VolcanoRobot dante = new VolcanoRobot();
4: dante.status = ?exploring?;
5: dante.speed = 2;
6: dante.temperature = 510;
7:
8: dante.showAttributes();
9: System.out.println(?Increasing speed to 3.?);
10: dante.speed = 3;
11: dante.showAttributes();
12: System.out.println(?Changing temperature to 670.?);
13: dante.temperature = 670;
14: dante.showAttributes();
15: System.out.println(?Checking the temperature.?);
16: dante.checkTemperature();
17: dante.showAttributes();
18: }
19: }
Ignore the numbers they are used for explaining stuff in the book, and i din't copy the indentation.
So what i do is that i creat a file with notepad ( no fancy stuff only plain old notepad ) and i copy this code, remove the numbers and make the indents.
After that i save as .txt file with the apropriate name ( i know it's case sensitive ). After that i open command prompt and write:
javac VolcanoApp.java
And it tells me that "javac is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file".
I managed to solve that by going to the control panel and by adding to the system variables for my user in the path variable this :
;C:\JAVAJDK\bin
( C:\JAVAJDK is where JDK is installed)
And then i modified the system variables like this:
In the CLASSPATH i entered this .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
In JAVA_HOME i entered this C:\JAVAJDK
Setting the variables like this made the javac error go away but now when i write in command line
javac VolcanoApp.java
It gives me this error
javac: file not found : VolcanoApp.java
Usage: javac options source files
use -help for a list of possible options
And then i read that i can drop my java file directly in the javac file. So i did.
When i drop my VolcanoApp.java in the javac file it open a command line window and writes a bunch of stuff in like a milisecond and shuts down. And no file is created.
I wanted to know what was writen in that window so i did it again and took a print screen and pasted it on paint ( it writed so much text that i only got a little bit but enough to see what hapend)
I read it and in the print screen it said it had 15 errors ( so far ) and then it point the errors with little arrows and there were characters that weren't present in the original code.
What hapend the compiler added wierd letters?
SO, my real question is, how the heck do i get javac working and compiling stuff properly?
Plz help i'm getting mad at this! ; (
And the code for the "robot":
1: class VolcanoRobot {
2: String status;
3: int speed;
4: float temperature;
5:
6: void checkTemperature() {
7: if (temperature > 660) {
8: status = ?returning home?;
9: speed = 5;
10: }
11: }
12:
13: void showAttributes() {
14: System.out.println(?Status: ? + status);
15: System.out.println(?Speed: ? + speed);
16: System.out.println(?Temperature: ? + temperature);
17: }
18: }
Again no indents and ignore the numbers. In the book it only said to compile the VolcanoApp.java , and not the VolcanoRobot.java
Edit:
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

ITunes crashing - Determing gapless playback information

I am having a big problem with itunes, since my main drive crash with all my music, i had was to trash my library and restart from what every music I can find on my other drives.
Problems problems....
1. Adding music itunes will crash
2. Most time it will crash while trying to determing gapless playback information
3. and just at startup it will crash
I have repaired permissions and all the fancy stuff but still problem, now apple has updated to 8 and the problem was never fixed any ideas anyone????

Hi,
Try deleting the iTunes preference file. /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your iTunes preferences, but this is the only way to find out if the file is corrupted and considering you are experiencing so many crashes... that might be the culprit.

I'm sick and tired of Kernel Panics!

I can't deal with this machine anymore. I realize that I have a four year old macbook that isn't the world's fastest machine, but after four years, this thing should still be able to hang. Unfortunately, it can't. I'm getting kernel panics at the silliest of times, lately the offense seems to be that my screen saver DARES to turn on (and no, it's not a third party screensaver - it's a native MAC screensaver). My fan is ALWAYS running, it seems, and I'm getting CPU spikes all over the place. If it's not crashing when the screen saver is active, it's crashing because flash pushes the CPU usage too high. If it's not freaking out then, it's freaking out when the CPU decides to spike when running Ableton live 8.01 into a presonus firebox; the CPU spikes, the audio freezes up, the firebox loses its connection to the computer, and everything hangs for a minute or so.
I'm not running any insane 3rd party software or hacks, everything is up to date, I run cron jobs all the time to keep things fresh, I run Onyx and repair permissions all the time, my disk is in fine order, I'm running 10.5.8, and yet, this machine is turning into a freaking brick. I'm not an idiot, I know more than I need to know about computers to know that this thing should be a lot more stable than it is. It's never been dropped, never had water damage, never been mistreated.
I've been in and out of the genius bar bringing this issue up multiple times, having run memory tests and other barrages of tests both on my own at the apple store to test for issues, and no, nothing's been found, but this machine just seems to get worse and worse. Of course, now my applecare has run out, so I'm SOL anyway if anything hardware related really is wrong with this machine, which I still believe it is.
This machine started with 10.4 installed on it, and I updated to 10.5. There were no issues in the update.
The only thing that I can think of doing is reinstalling OS X, but I REALLY don't want to do that right now. I have too many projects I'm working on, I can't take the full day it'll take to reinstall EVERY single piece of software that I have. I know that I'll have to do a full clean reinstall, because doing an archive and reinstall will only carry over software problems, if there are any.
I realize the good things that come with a clean install, but like I say, I really, really don't have time for it right now, and I can't say when I will, being that this machine is how I make my living. So what am I supposed to do?

I'm not running any insane 3rd party software or hacks, everything
is up to date, I run cron jobs all the time to keep things fresh, I run
Onyx and repair permissions all the time, my disk is in fine order,
I'm running 10.5.8, and yet, this machine is turning into a freaking
brick. I'm not an idiot, I know more than I need to know about
computers to know that this thing should be a lot more stable than
it is. It's never been dropped, never had water damage, never been
mistreated.
HP printer drivers (current crash). I guess that is not insane, but
then again, I always found the HP drivers to be annoying
But your March 3rd crash seems to be 'ScreenSaverEngin'.
Years and years ago, I know I had issues with Screen Savers.
So these days I run about as basic a screen saver as I can
("Computer Name"). I also got tired of the fancy stuff,
so the "Computer Name" screen saver is fine with me.
If the process/driver that crashes is always different, then Memory
is the most common cause, especially if there is 3rd party memory
installed (I have nothing against 3rd party memory, as I use it all
the time; it has just been a factor in may crash situations). And
Apple memory is not always innocent, but less frequently guilty
of failing.
Now if there have been zero memory changes in the 4 years, then
I would be less likely to single out any memory, and now I would
lump it in equally with the Motherboard failing.
System tests might not detect anything if the problem is environmentally
triggered, such as the unit becoming warm. When you take it to
an Apple Store, it will most likely have cooled down, and may take a
while to get to the warm failing state.
Oh yea. Do you plug in USB devices? I ask, because historically, the
second most common cause of repeated system crashes have been
caused by a failing USB device. Then again, that also tends to
include the USB driver in the list of kernel components at the time
of the crash.
The only thing that I can think of doing is reinstalling OS X, but I
REALLY don't want to do that right now. I have too many projects
I'm working on, I can't take the full day it'll take to reinstall EVERY
single piece of software that I have. I know that I'll have to do a
full clean reinstall, because doing an archive and reinstall will only
carry over software problems, if there are any.
I realize the good things that come with a clean install, but like I
say, I really, really don't have time for it right now, and I can't say
when I will, being that this machine is how I make my living. So
what am I supposed to do?
Since you are running Leopard, you can do an "Archive & Install"
which will leave your personal stuff alone, and just replace the
Operating System.

I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
Thank you!

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Download to Data option for Hyperlinks on Reports

Hi,
There is a column called OrderNumber which will display its values in the form of hyperlink. On Master Report Page, it is taken from a fact called Orders.OrderNumber which when clicked leads to Details Report on a new window where the value need to be passed to another factOrderDetails.OrderNumber. This was only possible by using Dashboard Url in the column formula field of Order Number. The problem is with Download Data option which shows hyperlink formula instead of value in that column.So the original value is lost. This doesnt happen when it is downloaded to Excel or Downloaded to Excel 2000.
Is there any possibility that when using Download to Data, the hyperlinks shows it values rather than formula of the hyperlink.

Think about why Excel was created. In the old days, you could only pass data files in their simplest form and applications were need to parse the data. Text files, csv files, etc. were without format. Just data. Excel came along because people wanted all the formatting to go along with it, including being able to know what a hyperlink is. The files are larger because they include more information about the source file. Today, when passing Excel files are too large to do, one option that may still be available is to download in a csv file for the very reason that the file is smaller. It is smaller because you don't get any fancy stuff like nice formatting. But that is why your hyperlinks aren't coming across either.
If you want the hyperlinks, use Excel.

How do I make a ringtone from an app my default on my iphone?

I downloaded a song from an app on itunes on my iphone 5 and I cannot figure out how to make it my default ringtone. My mac OS.X 10.6 will not retrieve ringtone from phone and I cannot get a downloaded audio book from my mac onto my phone either. I tried connecting my iphone which "automatically syns" and downloads photos and some songs but not all of them. When I go to devices on my mac it is not "bolded" so I cannot even select my iphone as a device to try to view my library, organize it, or drag and drop songs onto my phone if I were to put them onto my desktop. SO Frustrating!
Thank you

you have a very legitimate point. To my knowledge, there is no more secure way for archival storage than a DVD stored in a dark, cool, plastic enclosed jacket (to protect from scratches). after experiencing hard drive SATA storage discs (time capsule failures in particular) fail, want to go back to DVD storage, but now everyone wants to sell you a new program and 2 TB backups.
So what to do? Dumb down my Lion OS back to Leopard and go back to the good old days when I could get something done?
Having "switched " from MS to Mac almost 4 years ago, ready to go back. I had fewer hassles with my computers, got more done, and had lower blood pressure ten years ago than I do now, although Windows is always a "Johnny come lately" when it comes to any new innovation, having merely perfected the art of monopoly. lately though, have become very disenchanted with Apple, and will not be replacing /repairing my MacBook pro, macMini, iIMac when they finally break.
Is there any you tube site that someone could show me how to simply plug my Sony 8mm camcorder with the old Motorola style plugs (also has an S -video option) to the Mac Mini and burn the DVDs one by one? No editing. no fancy stuff. Just a straight out burn for archival storage? I want to get that done first before I mess with the hard drive back ups.
Thanks

I am very upset with both Iphone 3G and 2.0 software

OK These are my gripes
First the actual store experience, it was a zoo. I waited in line for 2 hours and I did not even get an apology from the people at the store. They just told me it was AT&T's fault and to complain to them. It took them 25 minutes just to activate my phone. They also said there was 30 dollar connection charge at the store and than there was another connection charge that will appear on the bill. I was outraged, turned out the kid was new and didn't know what he was doing. Than when I left, they basically threw the phone at me. Real nice service.
1) No Copy/Paste. What is so hard about this? I see all these fancy stuff and they cannot implement this into it? I am getting tired of having to mesmerize lines of text.
2) No flash. I understand that this really isn't that big of a deal but other phones have it. I really think Apple/Adobe need to come to an agreement cause it is annoying surfing the web and not being able to view any videos or animations.
3) App Prices. I was browsing the App store and some of those prices are downright ridiculous. 10 bucks for pac man!?!? Some of the apps run up into the 40's and 50's. Steve said there will be a lot of free apps but most of them are lame besides the remote and a couple others (Myspace/AIM)
4) Speed. OK On my way home from getting my iphone I was in a strong 3g coverage area and I counted and it took 45 seconds to load one page. Even at my home, it is taking 30-40 seconds to load one page. Yes, I am in 3G coverage area at my house also. I just ended up switching to Wi-Fi it was so slow.
5) Bugs. When I am in both Youtube and Safari it crashes more than my old iphone. I clicked a youtube video and it kept crashing back to the desk 10 seconds into the video.
There are other things to. I am not saying the Iphone is a piece of garbage because it is not, I just think Apple needs to listen to the customers needs more.

I definitely agree with the OP. Today I waited in line for a iphone3G upgrade for 2 hours. After finally getting into the store it took them another 45 minutes to actually sell me the phone. Some how they still had my moto SLVR still on my account even though I had been using the original iphone since it launched last year. They finally work out that bug and then they tell me they cannot activate it. No big deal, im not new to activating iphones on my own anyways. Actually it probably would have saved some time in the line for everyone else. I get home and I cannot even download the new itunes update! I get back to work at 11:15 after arriving at the att store at 7:25am. Glad my boss wasnt mad because itold him I should be back in about an hour, wrong! I get home from work at 2:30pm and I finally am able to download itunes 7.7 but then the update 2.0 software keeps timing out. ***? I was ready to take it back at that moment but anticipation of a great upgrade won me over. I go back to work and get off and I finally get 2.0 and the restore accomplished. I finally have a working 3G, so I thought. Come to find out, 3G is not in my area and wont be until fall next year and I cannot download any new applications. from the Itunes store. So Basically I paid 217.00 and the extra 3G fee for GPS that doesnt talk or beep when your supposed to turn. Most people will probaly crash because there eyes are watching this thing on top of that, the **** thing doesnt even scroll when the dot leaves the screen. All N all was it worth it when you already have an iphone and the Nokia N96 will be out this fall? Hmmm. atleast the restocking fee is only 20.00.

Fancy stuff - Skinning!
