First Map - Newbie Question

I am trying to create my first map. I thought I had what should be the most basic one to try but I cannot get it to work as I would like. I am trying to display potentially 2 data points for a location and I don't want it to show as a pie chart.
I would like 2 different bubbles if a city has both. My data currently has 2 columns - CityState & Category. I'm assuming there is just some trick I am missing to get it to display the way I want. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you so much.

After reading user profile in your userBean
execute this code:
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
externalContext.redirect(externalContext .encodeResourceURL(externalContext .getRequestContextPath()+ userPage));
userPage is a full path to jsp page.
Hope it helps.

Setting up a cluster for the first time: newbie questions

Any help appreciated with this situation:
 I'm trying to set up a cluster for the first time and running into
 issues (no big surprise). I'll outline my situation and pose questions
 as they arise. If/when I get things to work I'll post a step-by-step
 summary of what it took to get a simple cluster going.
 Here's what I have:
 machines:
 1 Windows 2000 machines with WL 6.1
 2 RedHat Linux machines with WL 6.1
 All machines are on the same Home LAN, can see each other, etc.
 IP addresses are:
 Windows box: 192.168.1.100
 Linux box 1: 192.168.1.102
 Linux box 2: 192.168.1.103
 servers:
 I've set up the Windows machine as my admin server, and set up
 a managed server on each Linux machine. I created a cluster that consists
 of the 2 Linux machines and deployed the web app and EJB to the cluster.
 The Windows machine is acting as a Proxy using ClusterServlet.
 The web application has been set as the Default Web Application on the
 two Linux machines. All 3 machines are listening on ports 80/443. I also
 set up session memory replication through the console.
 Application:
 I have an application that I package as an EAR file. I'm using it as a
 "reference" application designed to mimic a real world app as much as possible.
 The EAR file contains a web application that uses Struts. It also consists
 of a single Stateless Session Bean. The WAR file and EJB Jar are all
 packaged up into the EAR file. I've been able to run this application just
 fine on a single managed server on all 3 machines.
 The web application works fine, and it can invoke the EJB. I can also
 invoke the EJB from Java stand-alone clients. Struts works great. All is
 well with the world. Now I'm trying to "cluster-ize" this app using
 the environment described above and encountering issues.
 I've read the docs and followed the instructions according to the
 "Weblogic Bible" book. I can bring up all 3 servers and the Linux
 managed servers connect to the cluster just fine. I can also
 see the Struts messages in their logs which normally happens and tells me
 the webapp is initialized properly. The console tells me that the managed
 servers are running. I get no error messages starting up any of the serves.
 Here are the problems I am encountering.
 When I try to access the Web Application (through a browser on the
 Windows machine using http://localhost) I get the following error message:
 <Nov 19, 2002 6:44:33 AM EST> <Error> <HTTP> <HttpServer(1754841,null default ct
 x,admin) found no context for "/". This request does not match the context path
 for any installed web applications and there is no default web application confi
 gured.>
 Also, when I try to invoke the EJB through a stand-alone Java client,
 I get a JNDI lookup error on the EJB's home interface.
 Questions:
 Question1: I noticed when setting up the machines that console lets you
 define a "Machine" or a "Unix Machine". What's the difference? Should I
 define the Linux machines as Unix machines or machines, and what are the
 consequences of either choice?
 Question2:
 I'm not totally clear on how my web.xml should look to set up Struts,
 the ClusterServlet, and a servlet filter I'm using to test Servlet filters.
 Here is what I had before I tried to cluster and which works fine:
 <filter>
 <filter-name>MainFilter</filter-name>
 <filter-class>com.refapp.servlets.MainFilter</filter-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>myAttribute</param-name>
 <param-value>Foo</param-value>
 </init-param>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>MainFilter</filter-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping
 
 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>application</param-name>
 <param-value>refappstruts</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>config</param-name>
 <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>debug</param-name>
 <param-value>2</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>mapping</param-name>
 <param-value>org.apache.struts.action.RequestActionMapping</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <welcome-file-list>
 <welcome-file>index.do</welcome-file>
 <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
 <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
 </welcome-file-list>
 (I have set up a "dummy" 0-length file called index.do that triggers
 Struts to go into its ActionServlet when first accessing the web site).
 Here is how I added ClusterServlet to web.xml:
 servlet>
 <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.internal.HttpClusterServlet</servlet-class>
 <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>defaultServers</param-name>
 <param-value>192.168.1.102:80:443|192.168.1.103:80:443</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>DebugConfigInfo</param-name>
 <param-value>ON</param-value>
 </init-param>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>InitServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/servlet/InitServlet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>ClusterServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 Clearly there is a problem with the Default Web application not being
 seen/mapped properly. Any chances my URL mappings for the filter servlet,
 Struts, and ClusterServlet are stepping on each other?
 With respect to the EJB, here is what my weblogic-ejb-jar looks like:
 <weblogic-ejb-jar>
 <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 <ejb-name>Hello</ejb-name>
 <stateless-session-descriptor>
 <pool>
 <max-beans-in-free-pool>100</max-beans-in-free-pool>
 </pool>
 <stateless-clustering>
 <stateless-bean-is-clusterable>true</stateless-bean-is-clusterable>
 <stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
 round-robin
 </stateless-bean-load-algorithm>
 <stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
 true
 </stateless-bean-methods-are-idempotent>
 </stateless-clustering>
 </stateless-session-descriptor>
 <jndi-name>Hello.Home</jndi-name>
 </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 I run this through ejbc and package everything up into the EAR file.
 However, I get a JNDI lookup failure when I try to access the Bean from
 a standalone Java client running on the Windows machine.
 Here is the jndi.properties file that I am using:
 java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
 java.naming.provider.url=t3://localhost:80
 Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? I can post config.xml also if needed.
 Thanks in advance!


Let me try to answer :)....
 A1> No need to name diff machines by default weblogic
 considers the servers are physically located in diff boxes.
 The names are used to differtiate the mang servers which are in
 multihomed
 Some things to chk
 1> Did u targeted the ear file Target as cluster.
 2> Can u see on the Admin console that both the man servers
 are participated in the cluster( u can see by clicking the monitoring
 tab on the Cluster node).
 3>Is the URL:PORT for the default web app correct?
 the reason: is I dont see the port# on the link u mentioned
 4> probably ur ejb might not been deployed on the target thats the
 reason u cant access thru java client. If u correct the targets that
 will probably fix it.
 Hope this helps
 Please post the result
 Thanks

Dynamic first page - newbie question

Here is the setup,
My application is invoked from a third party (single sign-on) where the request contains a verified user id. The request will ask for the default index.jsp which will then be forwarded to a faces page.
I have a backingBean userBean in session scope. In its initialization, it will read the user profile from the databse and find the default first page for a user.
Is there anyway I can do in the index.jsp to forward to different default first page for different users?
I'm coming from the servlet background and I know it can easily be done from a servlet (dispatch to different pages after reading the user info). I just don't know how to accomplish that with jsf. I guess if anywhere I reference #{userBean} in faces jsp, the userBean initialization will be executed so I know who the user is. But I don't know if there is anyway I can re-direct a dynamic page based on a property in userBean.
Thanks in advance.

After reading user profile in your userBean
execute this code:
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
externalContext.redirect(externalContext .encodeResourceURL(externalContext .getRequestContextPath()+ userPage));
userPage is a full path to jsp page.
Hope it helps.

First full Time Capsule Backup Newbie Question

I'm most likely going to get a lot of crap for this newbie question but here it goes. When I setup my time capsule for the first time I want to backup it up hardwired to my IMac how do i do that. What are the steps involved I'm sure it's pretty simple plug the power cable in and connect the ethernet cable but then what. Thanks for your help all that reply

Depends on how you want to setup your future wireless network. Just follow the TC Setup Guide. If there is a problem during setup, repost.
Here are some links to get you started:

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
Enable: Check this box to assign the static IP address to this device.
To add another new entry: Enter the information, and then click Add to list.
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can clickAdd New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then click Delete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Newbie question - XML version, searching by artist

Probably quite a common problems - apologies for newbie questions.
I've changed the URL of my MP3s in my XML to a new location and refreshed my feed. Is there a way of seeing what version of the XML iTunes is using? (it takes around 24 housr to refresh, right?)
Also, when I'm searching for my podcast by author it's not coming up (<channel><itunes:author>) - is there a reason for this or a way to get it to show up when people search for the artist, other than doubling it in the title? (This works by the way, but I'd prefer not to!)
Thanks.

you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
arrays
for (i...) {
get the appropriate child of index_content
first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
no need for multiple loops.
flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
to you, but it's not very complicated to do

Newbie question: ""dynamic"" casting

Hello all,
 
I have a quite newbie question. I have this class hierarcy:
 
A
|_A1
|_A2
|_A3
|_A4
|_A5
|_.....
 
in some part of my code I have this:
 
if (object1 instanceof A){
if (object1 instanceof A1) {A1 object2 = (A1) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A2) {A2 object2 = (A2) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A3) {A3 object2 = (A3) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A4) {A4 object2 = (A4) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A5) {A5 object2 = (A5) e;}
object2.callMethod();
 
Is there any way to do this type of casting just in one line? I mean, I just want to cast object1 to the class it is instanceof. If it is instance of A1, I want to be casted to A1, if it is A2 to A2, etc...
 
Thanks you in advance.

In fact I know what object1 is on execution time,Which doesn't help your compiler at all, when it's task to link and verify method calls.
because the code posted at the top is working well, i just want to avoid repeating that if's for all the new classes Ax I will create. Big "code smell" here.
In other words if i had from A1 to A200 i dont want to have 200 if's to cast it to the class it is and then execute it's method.You could call the method "doMagic()" and make it abstract in A. Then you can implement it in all Ax classes and would never have to worry about casting in the first place, because A.doMagic() would automagically do the right thing. Polymorphism.

Newbie question about saving files

Hi all,
A newbie question here, and maybe it is a dumb question, but I can't get my head around this and sofar found no answer in the forums here.
When I save a file on my macbook, I can only save it to "top" folders.
What I mean is I try to save a file for instance to documents/worddocs/lyrics just to say something, then I have to save the file first to documents, and the move it to the lyrics folder via finder or move it to :worddocs folder and then move it again to the lyrics folder. Hope you still get my drift here
Is there a way to just save it to the subfolders without going through all this moving around?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Peter

When you click File>Save As, you will see the Save As window pop up. At the top, you will see a box entitled Save As, which has a space for your to enter the file name. To the right of this box is an arrow pointing down. Click it. The full file hierarchy will be seen. Then you can save directly to the file you want.
Hope this helps.

Newbie question - cloning to a new server

Hi all,
I am very new to the EBS world, so please forgive the "newbie" question. We are running 12.0.4, and we have approximately 12 different environments. We probably do 3 to 4 clones a week, generally from production to one of the existing environments.
However, we now have a couple brand new Linux servers, and we want to set them up as a new environment to clone to (one will be apps server, one will be DB server). I am looking at some of the Metalink documents on how to do this. But my basic question is this - do I first have to do a basic EBS installation onto these servers, before I will be able to clone an environment over to them?
Thanks!!

MailServer Newbie Question..

So my first time i setup a Mail Server with Mac OS X Server.
Everything works like a charme. I can send and receive emails internally. That means
i can send and receive emails from mac to pc and vice versa. Now my question.
How do I setup the Server to catch my external eMail adresses and send it to my internal account.
And how do I setup to send throw my server to the rest of the world without getting banned and
blacklisted
I how someone can write a small tutorial for me or can post a link for this newbie question.
Thanx in advance..
mike
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. But I am from Germany

how to configure the server to accept mail for my own domain ?
Any domain you want to receive mail for goes into the Local Host Aliases pane (in Advanced-> Hosting tab). However, you said that you can already send and receive internally so presumably you have it set up for a domain already? If this is not the same domain as you want to use, just change whatever settings you are using to your real domain. You can then test sending and receiving internally for your own domain but without changing your external (public) mail provider. When you are ready to change your outside mail server for your own one, get the public MX record changed so that all external mail starts getting directed to your own server.
how to get the public DNS record (MX Record)
If you have a 'real' domain then someone is hosting your DNS for that domain. THis is probably whoever you bought the domain from. You need to get them to change your MX record (or the IP address for the host name record which the MX points to - see my first post).
Is it really impossible to catch the external email-accounts with the server via pop.
my idea behind that is to synchronize the external email accounts with the email accounts on the server..
I have never really looked into getting a mail server to use a pop download from another external mail server - it may be possible by manual configuration but it never made sense to me. Why have two mail servers in a 'chain'? Basically, the public will see only one server responsible for your mail (via MX record) - you have to decide whether you want to leave this with your external provider or take the responsibility yourself.
Your configuration for the incoming mail seems to me like you would change the
external email server completely to my internal server.. right ??
Correct. Once the public MX record is changed then all other mail servers will send to your server and not your current provider. You can always revert back by changing the MX record back to your existing provider (as long as your account is still open).

IFS Newbie questions

Two newbie questions:
1. I have a simple batch file as below that I execute using ifsshell.
login system/manager
cd /FolderSystem
put /usr/local/oracle/testifs/test.txt
logout
How do I copy to iFS all files in a specified local directory - /usr/local/oracle/testifs/* doesn't seem to work.
2. Can database user be mapped to iFS user?
Thanks in advance,

See Badunit's reply below.
- Is there a way to display only specific values in a line chart?
You can create a chart from "all the data in a table or only data in selected cells of one or more tables," according to the Numbers '09 Users Guide. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll refer you to Chapter 7 of that document, and specifically to Page 132.
If I recall correctly, there is a copy of the Users Guide on the IWork installation disk. If not, the Guide is available for download in the Help menu in Numbers.

Trouble backing up Macbook (10.4.11) and some newbie questions...

I am using a MacBook OS X 10.4.11 and do not have Time Machine. I have a couple newbie questions...
What is the best way to back up everything? I am using Disk Utility's Restore tab but it is taking forever. I first tried to do it though Disk Utility's First Aid tab but it wouldn't let me make a New Image because the "source was in use", I think it is because I don't have the Install Disc to begin with (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553).
Secondly, does this include everything in "Home" (bookmarks, iPhoto library, iTunes library and so forth), Documents, and Desktop? Or must these be archived and transferred to the external hard drive separately from Macintosh HD?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I tried restarting the phone and switching to another USB cable and now it is working so never mind.

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.
