thanxThe tutorials here on sun.com are a good place to start. Don't start with an IDE, just use a text editor and the command line for now. Don't worry about J2EE for now either just downlaod the standard JDK from this site,

  • I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

    Take it back and get your money returned. You

    the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
    remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

  • HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

    Hello everyone. I am trying to make my first

    am using jdk 1.5.0, MySQL 4.1.11 nt, and I think I
    have the freshly downloaded driver
    C:\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga
    -bin.jar" installed in the right spot. You shouldn't be putting that JAR in jre/lib/ext, even if you've found some docs to tell you to do it. Only language extensions (e.g., packages that begin w/javax) belong there.

    a different driver I should use? Any help would be

    It's your code.

  • Not able to start SOA managed server first time with node manager by WLST

    Hi all,
    I have created a SOA11g domain. Then using WLST utility I have started the Node Manager.
    Then from WLST prompt I have connected to the Node Manager & started the Admin Server successfully.
    But when ever I am starting the SOA manager server using WLST it's throwing the following error in WLST page : -
    Error Starting server soa_server1: weblogic.nodemanager.NMException: Exception while starting server 'soa_server1'
    In server log file I am getting the following error : -
    Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied
    weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied
    I am getting this problem only when I am trying to start the domain for the first time after domain creation using WLST/nodemanager.
    If I start & stop the SOA managed server from EM console & then try to start it aging from WLST/NodeManager then it's work fine.
    Can anyone please tell me what can be the issue?
    Thanks in Advance!!!

    Hi,
    I am getting this problem only when I am trying to start the domain for the first time after domain creation using WLST/nodemanager.
    If I start & stop the SOA managed server from EM console & then try to start it aging from WLST/NodeManager then it's work fine.When you a server for the first time by using console or startManagedWeblogic.cmd, a file boot.properties is created under %DOMAIN_HOME%\servers\soa_server2\data\nodemanager...
    The WLST/Nodemanager approach doesn't create the file so it won't work for the first start... But it will work just fine from the second on...
    I've never tried, but you can try and create the boot.properties manually in your script with the following content... Password should be encrypted after the first successful start...
    username=type-the-username-here
    password=type-the-password-here
    Cheers,
    Vlad

  • Do browser send a error report to the website if browser fail in set up communication channel first time with that site

    Suppose i want to open some site using mozilla but first time browser fail to set up communication channel. When I attempt second time it successfully set up a connection then my question is that on the second time will browser send error report of first time to that site

    What was the specific problem with the first request? For example:
    * The server reset the connection
    * Page didn't load (blank)
    * Security certificate error
    * et cetera
    In some of these cases, the destination server might not know you sent a first request. And in other cases, that will be in the log. But I do not think Firefox sends any notification of problems with previous connections, the site would have to make an educated guess about the problem based on getting two sequential requests from the same IP address.

  • New workflow first time with InDesign and FH

    I thought I would share my experience using FreeHand in an
    InDesign CS2 workflow for the first time,
    first a little history: I have almost exclusively used trusty
    old FreeHand for 95% of my layout work for the last 10 years up
    till now, only tackling the crappy old dinosaur that is Quark when
    the job size just got too big for Freehand,
    one of my regular annual jobs is to produce a 52 page full
    colour catalogue for a local company, too big for FH and a real
    pain in Quark, so this year I took the plunge and bought the Adobe
    CS2 Design Suite with the intention of only using InDesign CS2 for
    long format jobs like this catalogue and sticking with FH for my
    regular work.
    Sorry folks but I have to tell you, I won't be using Freehand
    for any of my layout work from now on, InDesign CS2 is no less than
    Awesome!! I finished the whole job in record time, and due to the
    great tools, honestly a better design.
    just being able to use native photoshop psd files with
    transparency directly in Layout is fantastic, not to mention
    selectable hide and show layers from within the psd, I could go on
    and on about the features that blew me away but many of you already
    know about them, (nested style sheets anyone!?)
    needless to say from now on I will only be using FreeHand to
    produce my vector logo's etc, however if this is the situation then
    there's a good case for learning Illustrator as .ai files can also
    be used natively in InDesign.
    I still think FreeHand is a great all rounder, but I have to
    say I now feel more confident that I could live without it if
    that's the way the cookie crumbles!

    Same experience for me and my coworkers. We use ID everyday
    and made a
    smooth transition from Quark. Illustrator, on the other hand,
    is just
    baffling and I wonder if that's a legacy of it being a much
    older
    program. Photoshop, in some ways, has some difficult concepts
    to learn
    but Adobe seems to have worked hard to make its tools easy to
    use
    (reworking filters and layer styles for a couple of
    examples.) I wonder
    if Illustrator just doesn't get the same kind of resources
    that
    Photoshop and some of the other programs get.

  • Signing up for the first time with no success..

    I was reluctant to get Ipad and mac services but this is making me frustrated. Using a New Ipad, I signed up for a new Id.. using my email and a password that I know very well. I go to sign in for the first time and I get Id has not been used before please select review and..... well I hit review and nothing happens.. I try to go direct to apple id services and it says either my email or my password is incorrect. I've already requested to new passwords used them and requested a verification email which I get and go to verify and it is not working.. VERY FRUSTRATING...

  • SMTP send fails first time with exchange server. how about you?

    I run a 2007 Exhcange server at our business...never an issue with OSX working with it.
    Now that I've upgraded to mavericks anytime I have an attached of any good size (screenshots, photos) it fails the first time...and when I try to resend it goes. This issue doesn't exist with small attached (signatures for example) or blank emails.
    Anyone have this issue with Maverick/Mail.App?
    Before you start to tell me that I need to increase the attachment size on my exchange server it already permits up to 99,999KB and if it was being blocked due to size the 2nd attempt would not work either.

    Ok, so I've gotten Cups and wicd autostarting, set the static ip from my router because else it wasnt getting DNS etc details and left it asking for that by dhcp.
    Still having issues with the DE
    pedro_sland wrote:
    If DE is required, Xorg must be started in tty1, startlxde ran in tty2, and then manually switch to tty7 for the DE.
    I run xfce4 sometimes. I just run startxfce4 and it starts Xorg and displays the DE. I think that startx runs twm which you probably don't want so you might want to take a look at that. startx has a script it runs somewhere (I forget where but the wiki will know). When I'm done with xfce I just log out and it exits.
    For me, this isnt working. startlxde on its own just goes to
    [root@yomiko ~]#
    in tty1, and leaves me with a blank screen when i switch to tty7
    I literally must call Xorg in one tty, startlxde in another and then manually shift to tty7 to see it.
    startx itself:
    -bash: startx: command not found
    Even Xorg isnt happy being called on its own, that too goes to a blank screen, though it does at least switch to tty7
    With Xorg called in tty1, when i call startlxde in tty2 i get dbug errors from pcmanfm though these seem to be just it informing its detected the HDD partitions.
    there is a grumble early on in the process, before the debug errors, saying:
    Importing pynotify failed, notifications disabled.
    Finally, I did add the line to .xinitrc the LXDE page in the wiki said to to allow startx to run:
    exec ck-launch-session startlxde
    This is the only line in this file.
    Currently running as root... I'm not going to complicate matters by adding a user until im sure i got it all running as root, bad practice or not!
    Edit: A friend helped me solve it.
    The package xorg-xinit held the startx script that was missing. I now get LXDE when i want and only when I want.

  • First time with Arch, minimal build: little niggles [solved]

    Ok, I've been using *Buntu based Distros for a while now, this is my first time taking the plunge with Arch - chosen because it is a build in what you want distro.
    I've wanted a minimal build install for a printserver project, this week I took the plunge with an old laptop.
    I have it doing the printserver part, but there are some minor niggles. Let me detail what I have installed and what I want it to be able to do, before I detail these.
    Arch Base install with:
    CUPS
    LXDE
    Leafpad
    Xorg Intel video drivers.
    smartmontools
    firefox
    WPA_Supplicant,as this system is to be a wireless printserver.
    What I want this system to do:
    Run most of the time in shell, no DE running. (This keeps it cool and quiet, as it is in a bedroom)
    Only run the DE when startx is called, and have the DE able to be shut down without restarting the server.
    serve printjobs from the moment it boots and connects to the wireless.
    What it currently does.
    Boot up, wait for login
    When login, require WPA_supplicant, dhcpcd and Cupsd to be initialised before it can serve printjobs.
    If DE is required, Xorg must be started in tty1, startlxde ran in tty2, and then manually switch to tty7 for the DE.=
    I have a script to call when i login which starts WPA_Supplicant, dhcpcd, and cupsd in that order.
    I would really like the interface to have a staticip but i dont know how to do that without the handy graphical tools that ubuntu provides.
    Please can you help, at least point me in the right direction with these niggles? I have learned a lot about what is required to get a basic DE up and running, and im sure with your help I will learn more.

    Ok, so I've gotten Cups and wicd autostarting, set the static ip from my router because else it wasnt getting DNS etc details and left it asking for that by dhcp.
    Still having issues with the DE

    I run xfce4 sometimes. I just run startxfce4 and it starts Xorg and displays the DE. I think that startx runs twm which you probably don't want so you might want to take a look at that. startx has a script it runs somewhere (I forget where but the wiki will know). When I'm done with xfce I just log out and it exits.
    For me, this isnt working. startlxde on its own just goes to
    [root@yomiko ~]#
    in tty1, and leaves me with a blank screen when i switch to tty7
    I literally must call Xorg in one tty, startlxde in another and then manually shift to tty7 to see it.
    startx itself:
    -bash: startx: command not found
    Even Xorg isnt happy being called on its own, that too goes to a blank screen, though it does at least switch to tty7
    With Xorg called in tty1, when i call startlxde in tty2 i get dbug errors from pcmanfm though these seem to be just it informing its detected the HDD partitions.
    there is a grumble early on in the process, before the debug errors, saying:
    Importing pynotify failed, notifications disabled.
    Finally, I did add the line to .xinitrc the LXDE page in the wiki said to to allow startx to run:
    exec ck-launch-session startlxde
    This is the only line in this file.
    Currently running as root... I'm not going to complicate matters by adding a user until im sure i got it all running as root, bad practice or not!
    Edit: A friend helped me solve it.
    The package xorg-xinit held the startx script that was missing. I now get LXDE when i want and only when I want.

  • How to backup to TC for the first time with ethernet or USB

    I had an existing wireless network and have added a TC to it as a password protected wireless device. I can initiate a wireless backup using Time Machine from my desktop Mac, but anticipating that this will be a very long first backup, I'm trying to set up a wired first time backup using ethernet. So, I've plugged an ethernet cable between the desktop Mac and one of the ethernet ports on the TC and then switched off my desktop Airport connection. I was hoping that I could then just backup using TM, but the TC doesn't seem to be recognised.
    Can anyone tell me what to do? Presumably I'm doing something wrong because most people who have bought TCs are likely to have done their first backup through ethernet.

    amthie,
    Here are the steps I have used to perform the initial TC backup.
    *Using Time Capsule via Temporary Ethernet ONLY Connection*
    Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
    Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
    At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
    Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
    Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
    Click “Done”.
    In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
    Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
    Click "Apply" in the lower right.
    You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
    Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
    You should still have internet access during this period.
    Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
    Cheers!
