Flash user groups in Burbank - Glendale, CA or nearby?

Does anybody know of any Flash / ActionScript user groups in the Burbank / Glendale, or other part of the San Fernando valley?
I know there is one down in Santa Monica, but I'm looking for one a little closer to home.
Thanks!

It is very strange. Run fsck on this filesystem and then execute
find / -nouser -exec chown root {} \;
find / -nogroup -exec chgrp root {} \;
I think this should fix your problem.

Edwin previously presented at the Adobe MAX 2009 conference as a co-presenter on the session entitled "Introduction to Adobe's Open Source Media Framework". Following is a link for a recording of Edwin's MAX Session (Edwin's portion starting at 24:00 in the recording timecode):
http://max.adobe.com/online/session/332
OSMF is an open source ActionScript 3 framework for building video and media players supporting cutting edge Flash Platform features for media delivery. If you have any curiosity about media players in Flash or Flex, this is a great forum for exploring and getting questions answered.
If you have an ongoing interest in this area, please join this group by logging in at groups.adobe.com/groups/7af970e6e4 and selecting the "JOIN THIS GROUP" link (red graphic on right side).
This online-only OSMF User Group meets regularly at this time and day of every month. That is the 3rd Wednesday of every month @ 12:00 NOON PST time. All meetings are recorded. Links for prior meeting recordings are on the group site in various places including on the group home page under the heading "Previous Connect Sessions".
Following are a few time zone conversions:
London: 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM GMT
Rome/Paris/Berlin: 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM CET
New York: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM EST
Los Angeles: 12:00 NOON to 1:30 PM PST
Sydney: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM EDT ** THURSDAY January 21 **

The presentation by Will Law was recorded and can be viewed online, on-demand from the following link:
http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/p47054887/
Will's presentation is an excellent introduction to HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
This presentation is a supersized version of a presentation that Will also will be delivering at Adobe MAX 2010. MAX session description here:
http://bit.ly/bh77Gz
Supersized in that in the recording above Will spent a bit more time in ActionScript for the OSMF developers in attendance than he will with more general audiences. Plus supersized in that Will took 1 hour 15 minutes (plus 15 minutes more on Q&A), whereas MAX sessions are 60 minutes, less a few minutes for the Q&A.,

Hello Sunil,
The problem is that I have hundreds of users to maintain user groups.
found out that it is possible to assign user group to role and role to user groups. implementing hr authorization with in-direct assignment of auth. So if I could use sq10, user groups could also be link to position in the org chart.
sq10 does allow you to assign a user group to a role but when you assign the role to a user and the user runs a query, it reports that no user group has been assigned.
Suspect that there must be a parameter or switch that is not turned on

User= Group= SubGroup= Role: Now working when this link is used

Hai,
We are using EP 5.0 with LDAP 7.6 When a user id created it is attached to a group and the group is attached to a role. I introduced a nested group in this link as userid is attached to group, group is attached to sub group and subgroup is attached to role. When i did like this and login to the portal system the roles are not seen in the portal.
Below are the things which i did,
When a user id(Ex : MYTEST1) is created it is attached to a group(Ex : ESS_GE) by the below code.
       String group = "ESS_GE";
       String groupdn = "cn=" + group.toUpperCase() + "," + groupsRoot;
       String userdn = "cn=" + userid.toUpperCase() + "," + peopleRoot;
      // modifications for group and user
      LDAPModification[] modGroup = new LDAPModification[2];
      LDAPModification[] modUser = new LDAPModification[2];
   // Add modifications to modUser
   LDAPAttribute membership = new LDAPAttribute("groupMembership", groupdn);
   modUser[0] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, membership);
   LDAPAttribute security = new LDAPAttribute("securityEquals", groupdn);
   modUser[1] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, security);
    // Add modifications to modGroup
    LDAPAttribute member = new LDAPAttribute("uniqueMember", userdn);
    modGroup[0] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, member);
    LDAPAttribute equivalent = new LDAPAttribute("equivalentToMe", userdn);
    modGroup[1] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, equivalent);
   // Modify the user's attributes
   lc.modify( userdn, modUser);
   // Modify the user's group attributes
    lc.modify( groupdn, modGroup);
Group is attached to a role(EP_GE_USER_ROLE). So the link is User =>Group=>Role which is MYTEST1=>ESS_GE=>EP_GE_USER_ROLE. This linke is working perfectly
I introduced a nested group and changed the link as User=>Group=>Sub_Group=>Role which is MYTEST1=>ESS_GE=>ESS_GE_ONLINE=>EP_GE_USER_ROLE.
After this when I login with the user id MYTEST1 the Roles which are attached to ESS_GE_ONLINE is not shown. Any idea why the roles which are attached to group ESS_GE_ONLINE is not transferred to ESS_GE group. Should I have to add any other LDAP attributes apart from the one which are coded below.
String group1 = "ESS_GE";
String group2 = "ESS_GE_ONLINE";
String groupdn1 = "cn=" + group1.toUpperCase() + "," + groupsRoot;
String groupdn2 = "cn=" + group2.toUpperCase() + "," + groupsRoot;
//Add ESS_GE_ONLINE group to ESS_GE group
LDAPAttribute membership1 = new LDAPAttribute("uniqueMember", groupdn2);
modGroup1[0] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, membership1);
LDAPAttribute security1 = new LDAPAttribute("equivalentToMe", groupdn2);
modGroup1[1] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, security1);
//Add ESS_GE group to ESS_GE_ONLINE group
LDAPAttribute membership2 = new LDAPAttribute("uniqueMember", groupdn1);
modGroup2[0] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, membership2);
LDAPAttribute security2 = new LDAPAttribute("equivalentToMe", groupdn1);
modGroup2[1] = new LDAPModification( LDAPModification.ADD, security2);
lc.modify( groupdn1, modGroup1);
lc.modify( groupdn2, modGroup2);
Thanks & Regards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.

change that to the following and retest:

Interest check in virtual user group

Members of the extended SAP on i technical team from SAP and IBM often participate in several SAP on i user groups around the world.
We know there are many more SAP on i clients out there that would appreciate a live discussion with IBM and SAP and other clients using SAP on i, but for whatever reason have not been able to join one of the existing users groups or make a visit to Rochester or Walldorf.
The SAP on i technical team is considering the idea of creating a virtual users group. Meetings would be held 3 or 4 times a year.   We have not yet decided upon a format - teleconference,
webinar and podcast are options - but we need to have some idea of the interest level first.
Discussions could include things such as
-new announcements for Power and IBM i and what they mean in an SAP environment from a technical perspective.
- more detailed technical topic education like Java tuning, HA solution options with IASP and SAN, Single signon discussion.
- client experiences with certain technologies
We'd like to get the community to participate in setting the agenda - IBMers and SAPers can be resources.
If you would be interested in participating in something like this, please reply to this thread. Please include topics that you'd be most interested in. Know that the SDN moderator may pass your email address along to me.   We hope to know if and how we'll approach this in a few weeks depending on the responses we get.
Thanks,
Ron Schmerbauch
Technical team lead for SAP on i - IBM Rochester.

Hi Ron,
Very interesting !!
For us could be important this questions:
- Performance
- SQL Tuning and optimum development ( also quality assurance )
- Flash copy for SID refresh
- New applications of the platform
I think that also could be interesting any kind of physical event, once a year. To discuss all this threads and get feedback from other customers of the platform.

OIM 9.1.0.2 - User group permission conflict issue

Hi Gurus,
IHAC who have faced a strange behavior about permission conflict.
User has been assigned to a user group (ANALISTA DRSI) who have permission to disable resource of the users he administrates. The user group has been assigned to resource's administrator.
The same use has been assigned to other user group (ANALISTA ADM DRSI) who have other permission. The user group has been not assigned to resource's administrator.
If the user has been only assigned to ANALISTA DRSI user group the user is able to see records on Rogue Account report. If the customer has been assigned to both ANALISTA DRSI and ANALISTA ADM the user is not able to see the record on Rogue Account report. He got a display error message (You do not have permission). Both user groups have the Report menu item assigned.
My question: if the customer is assigned to a user group who have permission to see the reports, should not the user is able to see the report even though he is also into the other group who do not have permission?
Is there conflit in the OIM???
Any tip will be very appreciated.

Trash and user group help!

why do i need to type in password when i delete things? how do i remove it?
and i can't delete items directly from the dock as well. like opening from the downloads folder and dragging the file to trash. i have to bring open up Finder and delete from the folder directly.
another issue is that am i able to remove the gues user from my start up screen? i've already disabled it from the user groups but i still see it in my login screen.
one last problem, is it a norm to have current leakage for the MBP? i've been having frequent shocks from the 2 bottom corners of it when i plug it in to a power source. i bought it from an authorized retailer and using it in the country where i've gotten it from. i've just gotten my mbp about 3 weeks back.
thanks for replying my queries!

Hi,
Yeah in ACS 3.1 its under the Shared Profile Components page. In ACS 4.1 its directly under the user groups or under SPC page.
You need to check the box for "define ip based access restriction" and deny access for all other groups to the wireless access points network device group.
ACS 3.X)
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =UPS_PDU (Power Supplies)
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
SUBMIT to SAVE
Create a second one for the other group like so:
1. Denied Calling/Point of access restrictions
2. AAA Clients =Routers_Switches
3. Port = just put a * for all
4. Src IP address = just put a * as well
Click submit to save it.
Go to the ACS User groups section and select the Network Administrators Group " that don't need access to the UPS's" and apply the NAR you created to that group. Do the same for the other grouping.
(ACS 4.X)
Go directly under the "user groups" and create the NAR under there. No need to go under the Shared Profile Components section
Hope this helps and let me know if you need further assistance or explanation.

Pulling user/group field data from SharePoint list using REST, jQuery, Knockout.js Sharepoint 2013

I'm trying to make an interactive task board based on the task list app in SharePoint 2013. The task lisk includes fields like "Title","Description","Status","% Complete","Due Date","Assigned To",
etc. I used knockout.js to bind "Title","Description", and "Status" to my HTML controls. Here is some of the code:
var ViewModal = function(items, listname){
var self = this;
self.sortBy = ko.observableArray(sortBy);
self.tasks = ko.observableArray(items);
self.listname = ko.observable(listname);
self.auto = ko.observable(false);
self.getTasks = function() {
clearTimeout(self.getTasks);
// server relative url to REST service endpoint
var ajaxurl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + self.listname() + "?$orderby=PriorityValue";
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: ajaxurl,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
cache: false,
processData: true,
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
if (status == "success" && data) {
ko.mapping.fromJS(data.d.results, mapping, self.tasks)
$(".task-item").draggable();
error: alert
if (self.auto()) {
setTimeout(self.getTasks, 10000);
<div class="tasks-column">
<div class="column-header">Not Started</div>

<div class="task-item">
<div class="view" data-bind="visible: !IsEditing()">
<button class="edit" data-bind="click: $root.editTask">edit</button>
<h2><span data-bind="text: Title"></span></h2>
<div data-bind="html: Description"></div>
<span data-bind="text: PriorityValue"></span>
</div>
<div class="edit" data-bind="visible: IsEditing">
<button class="save" data-bind="click: $root.saveTask">save</button>
<input type="text" data-bind="value: Title"></input>
</div>
</div>
I'm having trouble displaying the data from the "Assigned To" user/group field. I tried:
<span data-bind="text: AssignedTo"></span>
But it displays the field as [object Object]
I tried using $select/$expand
?$select=Title,AssignedTo/Id,Assignedto/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/Id,AssignedTo/T‌itle";
But it still returns the [object Object]

Hi,
Please use the REST URI below:
/_api/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=Title,AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title&$expand=AssignedTo/ID,AssignedTo/Title

Helpful hints for new Creative Zen MP3 2/4/8/16/32 GB (flash) Users On

Summary of helpful hints (from this forum and me) for new Creative Zen MP3 2/4/8/6/32 GB (flash) Users Only!
Rev..
Date: 4/28/2008
Author: ZenAndy
Creative terminology:
MP3 Player Recovery Tool - A program that resolves the majority of player problems quickly.
One click is all it takes to update your player to the latest available firmware, and to give your player a clean bill of health.
Link: http://www.creative.com/products/mp3...me.asp region=
Note: You can also go to "Creative" "Support" "downloads" choose your MP3 Player type to obtain the latest firmware and software releases.
Note: On your Zen you can look under "System" & "Information" and then compare the firmware download
releases OR you can have the "MP3 Player Recovery Tool" (above) do it for you automatically.
Note: Creative Zen 4/8/6 GB "MP3 Recovery Tool" DOES NOT stop on a firmware comparison match.
Note: All firmware releases/revisons for the 4/8/6 GB Zen also works (is the same as) for the 2 GB & 32 GB Zen.
Recovery Mode - If you experience one or more of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you boot the player into its unique Recovery Mode, and then clean up, format or reload the firmware.
. The player is not detected in Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player
2. The battery does not last as expected
3. Your computer stops responding during file transfers
4. There is a power outage during file transfers
5. There is an error about firmware
6. LCD displays a "Firmware Problem" message
7. Your player is not responding.
8. The player is performing erratically.
Getting Started
. Load your Creative Zen software from CD FIRST and BEFORE plugging the Zen MP3 player, using the short cable, into the PC USB port to charge it.
2. Try charging the Zen MP3 player directly from the USB port on the PC. If not, make sure the USB Hub you are using is adequately powered to provide full charging current to the Zen player. Also, try to have the Zen MP3 player as the only USB device, if possible, on the USB hub.
Some/most Creative Zen flash MP3 Music players come "fully discharged" so, in the mean time, just read the manuals.
FULLY charge the Zen MP3 player for several hours (~4.0 hrs max) until the battery symbol is NOT flashing AND the battery symbol/icon has a small plug/key symbol in the middle.
After the first full charge - additional charging is much quicker about 2 /4 hours. (From 0% empty to full)
3. Go to Creative/Support/Downloads and check for the latest software releases for the Creative Zen. Then check on your Zen MP3 player under System/Information for your firmware revision. Make sure you have the latest software downloaded on your PC and firmware on your Zen MP3 player. < Latest revision [.2.0] 28Feb08>
OR
You can run MP3 Player Recovery Tool - see above.
4. In some cases you might have to do the Recovery Mode "paper clip reset" to get the Zen MP3 flash player started.
See the Zen User's Guide FAQ. The paper clip reset hole is on the bottom edge below the music pause/run switch.
(Not the slotted mic hole on the top edge of the player near the earphone jack and SD card slot!!!)
5. My preference is to have the player shutdown/off before inserting and removing the earphone/headphone plug.
Recovery Mode Using The Paper Clip OR
Alternati've Method For Recovery Mode Without The Paper Clip.
Why use it's
If you experience one or more of the following symptoms:
. The player is not detected in Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player
2. The battery does not last as expected
3. Your computer stops responding during file transfers
4. There is a power outage during file transfers
5. There is an error about firmware
6. LCD displays a "Firmware Problem" message
7. Your player is not responding.
8. The player is performing erratically.
Save a copy of your player's content, if possible, before cleaning up the memory!
Recovery Mode Using The Paper Clip Reset Method
#. Turn off player if not already turned off
#2. Press/hold play/pause button. If you accidentally release
the button, start this reset procedure over again.
#3. Gently push the end of a metal paper clip into the reset hole on
the botton edge below the play/pause switch.
(Do not use the slotted mic hole at the top edge near the earphone jack)
#4. Slide the on/off/lock switch towards the on position - slide it to the botton hold
until the display lights up and then release.
#5. The recovery mode screen appears and four menu items are shown - see below
<Alternati've Method For Recovery Mode Without The Paper Clip>
#. Turn off player if not already turned off
#2. Press/hold play/pause button. If you accidentally release
the button, start this reset procedure over again.
#3. Slide the on/off/lock switch towards the on position - slide it to the botton hold
until the display lights up and then release. Be patient and wait!
#4. The recovery mode screen appears and four menu items are shown:
< Clean Up> - cleans, rebuilds and reorganizes your player's memory and restores it to optimal efficiency.
When the cleanup is complete, select Reboot. Your player restarts and starts rebuilding its music library.
Note: Your player's firmware is reset to default settings after your player's memory is cleaned up.
Note: This procedure the hide/show password is reset.
<2 Format All>- Warning - Formatting your player erases all content on your player's memory and resets your player's firmware to default settings. If possible, back up all data on your player before proceeding.
Also, you can do this from the PC see Zen User's Guide. FAQ
<3 Reload Firmware> - Caution !!!! Selecting Reload Firmware erases your player's firmware.
DO NOT select Reload Firmware unless you have downloaded a newer firmware version for your player, or have been advised to do so by Creative Customer Support.
Note: My advice when loading/replacing firmware is to connect directly
to the PC USB port without using a USB hub.
<4 Reboot> Restarts the player just like the "on/off/lock switch" when switched ON.
Note: Having NO battery energy/charge/juice this procedure will not work.
Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery Hints
Ref:
http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
. Allow the battery to completely discharge from time-to-time then recharge it fully.
2. Lithium-Ion batteries loses about 5%- 0% capacity per month.
3. Lithium-Ion polymer batteries have about 300-500 discharge/charge cycles.
4. A half full battery indication (50% @ /2 the battery color) used up about 24 hrs worth of battery. Below 50% the indication goes fairly fast to the max of 30 hrs. Note: The battery level indication seems non-linear through out its range.
5. Battery is Empty~0% - warning screen will appear on LCD and player might shutdown.
6. Battery is Full- 00% with battery symbol NOT flashing AND plug/key symbol in the center of the battery.
7. It takes about 2 /4 hours to charge the battery from empty to full.
8. It takes about 4 hours max to charge a "New" Zen player shipped from the factory.
9. There is a battery manufactuer's failure rate, which is normal ~ % or less, in which the Lithium-Ion Polymer battery refuses to charge. Creative, ships the Zen MP3 players with some or no charge so there is very small probability that you could have one. I call it the "Deep Six Discharge Battery" Contact/call Creative for replacement.
Documentation
There are several pieces of documentation you might need to read to fully understand and use your Creative Zen MP3 flash player to its fullest capabilities.
#. Zen Users Guide "English" - For Zen MP3 Player - download from Creative/Support/Product documentation
#2. Zen Quick Users Guide /Front/Back - download from Creative/Support/Product documentation
#3. Sync Manager (Creative Zen) Click on sync symbol on PC task bar then help
#4. Creative Zen Media Explorer - Just look under the main help menu
#5. Windows Media Player <if used>(Microsoft)Use the help files with this program.
General Tips to increase/decrease the playing time on your Creative Zen flash player.
<Creative Battery Spec: 5 Hrs. Video & "UP TO" 30 Hrs. Audio/Songs>
Please do the following:
. Volume control lower/higher - higher volume settings will decrease playing times. This is logical. More output "volume power" decreases the battery juice.
2. Audio Settings: EQ, Smart Vol, & Bass Boost will effect your playing time but I believe they are not critical as the Volume & Bit Rates(28 kbsp and others) / File Format (MP3,WMA) & Lock Switch.
3. Bit Rates & File Formats Do Matter. Bit Rates and File formats will increase/decrease your playing time.
Per Catherina-CL
"WMA files will use up more power than MP3 files, and higher bitrates more so than standard ones (like 28kbps MP3). Best thing to do is rip an album in 28kbps MP3 and leave it playing in a loop on a normal volume level. See how long the battery lasts then."
Please Note: The main difference between MP3 and WMA is the compression. According to Microsoft a 64KBPS WMA file is the same quality 28KBPS MP3. This is of course up to a person's preference but you may find you can get better compression out of WMA.
4. FULLY CHARGE your Zen. This means the battery symbol is NOT flashing AND there is a plug/key symbol embedded within the battery symbol. The battery is 00% FULL under BOTH conditions. Having just the battery symbol all green will not do it.
From the link:
http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
Regarding lithium-ion shelf life, one of our engineers recently met with a battery-house representati've. It has come to their attention that repeated charging and re-charging of a less than fully discharged Li-ion cell affects the battery "gas gauge" included with many devices. Over a number of cycles there is a resultant loss in accuracy. Frequently, the indicated remaining charge has little relationship to the actual amount of life left in the cell! Fortunately, according to the battery expert, the gauge will reset itself if the battery is allowed to completely discharge from time-to-time.
5. Having different types of earphones/headphones will increase or decrease the playing time by how much "electronic load" the earphones/headphones create on the Zen player. There are some power hungry earphones/headphones out there.
The 6 ohm earbuds conserves battery power more than the 32 ohm earbuds supplied by Creative. (About 0% more)
6. Always, always lock your Zen player while playing music. This cuts off the power drain from the color 2.5" LCD and blank the LCD screen. After all, you can't read the LCD screen if it is in your shirt pocket and playing music!
7. Make sure you have the latest firmware upgrades in order to get the best of your Creative Zen Flash MP3 Player.
Troubleshooting
Your Creative Zen is extremely complex.
Check this link to peek inside player http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi...isassembly.php
Also, this link:
http://arstechnica.com/journals/hard...ssor-behind-it
There could be a million things that could go wrong with your player so you will not be the FIRST or LAST to have a problem. Keep in mind, there are many, many others that have the Zen with no problems whatsoever. Things happen, but Creative is there to help.
Dropping a Zen or any other player might/will/possibly ruin the player for good!!!
Since this player is solid-state (no moving parts e.g. mini-disk dri've) then the only thing that will keep it from running for years is the non-user replaceable Lithium-Ion battery. I will concentrate on some troubleshooting tips which are battery related but I hope you have already the latest firmware downloaded and installed on your player
Battery - Lithium-Ion Polymer
#. Battery won't charge "out of the box" new player.
A. First, read above "Getting Started"
B. Next, try a different USB mini cable.
C. Next, there is a battery manufactuer's failure rate < %, in which the Lithium-Ion Polymer battery refuses to charge.
Creative, ships the Zen MP3 players with no charge so there is very small probability thatyou could have one.
I call it the "Deep Six Discharge Battery" Call / Contact Creative.
#2. Battery won't charge properly after using the player for some time.
A. When you plug in your player into the USB port via mini USB patch cable, the connection resets the player to the "docked screen" with the battery level gas guage , in the right hand corner.
Sometimes this action does not reset the player properly but there is no indication to you that the player is charging.
Just disconnect/connect the USB cable again.
B. Sometimes, the Zen player gets confused and you have to do a Recovery Mode "paper clip reset" which forces the player into a "special menu screen" to clean-up the player and to reset the player which allows showing the "docked screen" while charging the unit. See Zen User's Guide for explicit instruction und FAQ.
C. Since the Zens came out late in 2007, the maximum of 300-500 charge/discharge should not apply YETbut users beware, as with any other Lithium-Ion Polymer battery it will not charge fully "like new"because of a " fixed shelf life" (2-3 yrs) OR too many charge/discharge cycles. A battery replacement is in order.
Methods of charging the Creative Zen MP3
. The short mini-standard USB cable provided by Creative from the factory. Plugs into a PC USB port.
2. Uni'versal Power Adapter (Creative) plugs into the wall. Works "anywhere in the world"
Note: Different countries have different wall AC voltages and hertz requirements. This has adapters for different countries/locations wall outlets and a uni'versal power supply for all voltage and hertz requirements.
Note: This is a heavy duty high/fast charging wall outlet charging adapter. (2400 ma)
3. Auto/Vehicle 2 VDC charger (Creative) or other compatible vehicle 2 VDC to USB charger.
4. EARHUGGER IPOD POWER POD - MP3-8370 (White compact module)
http://www.earhugger.com/powerPod.html
http://www.amazon.com/Earhugger-MP3-.../dp/B000QTTKSS
This compact module will solve all the following travel modes and conditions:
. Camping, hiking or outdoor travel - no PC or noAC or maybe no auto/car.
2. Airplane travel - no PC or no AC or no auto/car.
3. Train/subway travel - no PC or no auto/car
4. Car travel - no PC or no AC
5. Foot travel - no PC or no AC or no auto/car
It uses 4 ways to charge the Zen:
. Retractable mini-standard USB cord for PC charging. <--- does not communicate with PC! - only for charging
2. Retractable mini USB cord for auto/vehicle charging (Fused)
3. Retractable mini USB cord for wall 0-20 VAC 50/60Hz charging. (non-international use plug style)
4. 9 VDC battery terminal for using standard alkaline 9 VDC or high ma Lithium 9 VDC to charge the Zen via
mini USB cable. Note:You might need several alkaline batteries to charge the internal 550 ma hr Zen battery!
Great for remote destinations.
5. Rechargeable portable battery packs.
Black & Decker has several "Power To Go"models CPI0B-C & CPI20XB (not for international use because of 20 AC 60Hz only charging wall wart)
Note: There are other brands that also do this method of charging.
http://www.blackanddecker.com/Produc...Path=4033.4040
You charge this portable NiMH battery pack from the AC wall outlet so you can carry with you on trips to charge the Zen.
6. Mobile phone chargers. Some have a mini-USB plug for charging the phone but it could be used to charge the Zen BUT BEWARE IT COULD RUIN THE ZEN IF IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE! The output should have a voltage of 5 VDC +- 5% (4.75-5.25 VDC) ON THE PROPER MINI-USB PINS and a charging current at least 200 ma to 2400 ma. See this forum for the recommend phone phone chargers to use with the Zen.
Note: You are charging an internal Lithium-ion polymer 550 mahr battery in the Zen so the lower the charging current the longer it takes to charge.
Note: You will find that charging the Zen from the wall charger is much faster than the "current limited" charging on the standard PC USB port.
Note: For diagnostic purposes and emergency charging of the Zen it is wise to have an external (non-PC) charging device for your Zen.
Note: Only the battery charging symbol shows up on the Zen when using an external charger.
Scratches
All plastic screens will scratch, doesn't matter which type you have.
For minor scratches you could use the Novus three part cleaner, polish and scratch remover system. Do not use the #3 coarse abrasi've in this system! Be extremely careful in using this product !!!! Please check the web.
OR
Low abrasi've toothpase <--- some say this works
OR
CD scratch remover/repair kit <---- have not tried this.
The Zen (Flash) MP3 glass LCD screen is covered by the overlay plastic you see on the front. Worst case, you can have only the outer shell repaired and replaced by Creative.
To prevent scratches in the first place:
Use the Zen cloth bag which comes with the unit (sometimes ) to prevent scratches.
OR
Buy the Zen clear plastic case (Clear Case #70AB2600002). Sold by Creative.< I use this>
OR
Buy an clear plastic overlay. (Screen protector #70AB2600003) which goes over the LCD protector screen for protection. Sold by Creative.
OR
Also, you can cut up a "generic" PDA screen protector to fit the Zen.
OR
Obtain a "digital camera lcd screen protector" from a camera store or internet
OR
"Invisible shield" -The best protection money can buy
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/...ns-shields.php
How to destroy your Zen - WHAT NOT TO DO
. Leave it in the auto/car/vehicle - the vehicle inside heats up 20-35 F higher than the outside temperature.
2. Leave it outside in freezing temperature 0C 32F. The LCD will freeze/discolor/absorb water.
Note: It is remotely possible it could recover when warm-up at room temperature.
Note: Just keep the Zen near your body heat when outside in freezing temperatures.
3. Dropping it might cause the LCD screen to crack or loosen up the internal connections to the electronics or short out the internal electronics.
Note: Use a protecti've case to cushion the blow from dropping the Zen.
4. Dropping or submerging or getting the Zen wet in water might short out the electronics and battery.
You could prevent destruction by immediately shaking the Zen vigorously in open air to dry it out.
5. Sitting on it could flex the electronics and short or open circuits which would cause a defecti've/faulty Zen.
<A bit of humor ... There is No Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth fairy and Creative does NOT give away money. If you destroy or damage your Zen you will pay not Creative>
How can you tell if your Zen is defecti've/faulty
. A "white screen" or a "totally blank black screen" shows up on the Zen LCD.
2. You cannot force the Zen into the special "Recovery Mode" menu screen.
3. The Zen refuses to "take a charge"(To charge up the internal Lithium-Ion Polymer battery)
4. The Zen LCD is cracked or distorted due to dropping or handling abuse.
5. The Zen clock does not keep accurate time (within 2 mins max per month)
Contact Creative if any of the above faults occur - the Zen is bad and nothing you can do will fix it!
WSOD "White Screen of Death"
The "White Screen of Death" is really caused by a hardware problem. You see, the internal Freescale/SigmaTel STMP3700 MP3 processor has to write to the LCD. If this operation is prevented by internal electronic opens or shorts, bad STMP3700, locked-up firmware, bad LCD or any other electronic component failure then the CPU might/will halt and refuse to write to the LCD which will be reflected in a "white screen of death" I cannot cover all the causes of the "white screen of death" but rest assured Creative should pick these problems up in their quality control manufacturing process with a 99% success rate. Problems do show up after the manufacturing process but Creative has warranty protection for this other % fault rate. (Which is normal in electronics manufacturing)

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

Welcome to the new Oracle User Group Community

Welcome to the new Oracle User Group Community. Whether you landed here via the redirect from the previous community site - IOUC.org - or navigated here directly, welcome. This new platform brings new community features to enhance the way you connect with user group peers and with Oracle, as well as make it easier for you to find information through a more intuitive interface. We invite you to provide your feedback on the new site. Log in using your OTN Forum credentials and join the discussion here. If you do not yet have OTN Forum log in credentials, navigate to http://community.oracle.com/community, click on the "Register" link in the upper right corner of the page and create your account.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Kashif,
Glad you like the new Community. Communication among user group leaders works a little differently on this site than on the previous site. Rather than having communication focus around e-mail distribution lists, communication now is focused within the site itself. The intent is that this will provide users the one place to come for information, rather than having to sort through lots of e-mail threads. That doesn't mean that e-mail is completely out of the picture though. Users can opt-in to receive e-mail notifications when an individual piece of content is changed, or when content is posted to a space. Look for the "Receive email notifications" link under "Actions" to start receiving notices. To stop receiving notices, go back to the same content/space and click "Stop email notifications".
Your Relationship Manager will be talking with you and the other leaders in your region over the next few days and weeks regarding how you and your group of leaders want to communicate.
Best regards,
Oracle User Group Team

Populating the user group instead of the group ID in MFA

Hello all,
I am trying to Populate the user group instead of the group ID in MFA. I want to use this to create authorization permissions, after authentication. I am running into the problem of not getting any info after authentication in the attribute dump. Are
there settings that I can change in order to Populate the attribute dump? are there settings that I can change to get all of the groups that each user is in?
Thanks,

Is there a way to pull User, Group , Other permissions of a file

I wanted to know whether Java provides any API to pull up each and every permission associated with a file.
For example: In Unix, a file has 3 sets of permissions as shown below:
<UserPermissions><GroupPermissions><Others'Permissions>
Example: -rwxrwxrwx
r - for read
w - for write
x - for execute
There are some methods provided in java.io.File, such as canRead() and canWrite(), which help in telling whether a file is readable or writable. But I did not find any API which tells whether a perticular user has read/write/execute permission or not. Also, I presume the canRead(),canWrite() methods pull up the permissions pertaining to the owner of the file, but not for the group and others part of a Unix File's permissions.
Is there a way to pull up the read/write/executable permissions for all the 3 catergories namely, UserPermissions, GroupPermissions and Others'Permissions.
I appreciate your note on this and appreciate your time too.

In the java.io.File class, there's methods canRead() and canWrite().
They will test the read/write permissions of the Unix user you are running your Java program with.
They will not return a list of user names, user groups etc though.
You'd have to get the permissions through some platform specific method, eg. via JNI.

Owen
