Floating Ad Application Beta

Hi All,
I hope this is not considered spam. I am not selling anything - just trying to get feedback on a free Flash application that I have created.
It allows you to add Flash ads that float above the web page without writing any html or javascript code. I have a Beta release out that I would really appreciate you taking a look at and giving me feedback.
Here's the link to the download:
http://norrisoftenhance.ning.com/page/downloads-1
Here's a link to an interactive Flash tutorial on how to use it:
http://norrisoft.com/EnhanceDemo.html
Click the thumbnails below to see screenshots of the application:
Here's the description from my web site (http://norrisoftenhance.ning.com):
Dreamweaver allows you to add Flash to your web site and the later versions now use swfObject to embed the SWF. swfObject has a code generator that writes the code for you - all you have to do is cut and paste it into your HTML. But, it only creates the code for one SWF at a time.
What if you want to:
Add multiple SWFs and FLVs in multiple divs and layer them?
Have SWFs floating and flying above your page?
See your web page and SWFs as they appear to the end-user while dragging and dropping your SWFs to where you want them on your page, then scaling them, setting their alpha, and controlling how they play?
Add context-sensitive multimedia help to an HTML form?
Do all of this without writing any code?
Do all of this using a free application?
TIA!
Steve

I used HPPlay to download a significant portion of my music to my Touchpand as well as copying a ton of pictures via USB and I can't get the Touchpad to recognize them no matter what directory they are in. The music is nearly all MP3 (there may be others but I'm not getting anything to show up) and the pictures are just JPGs. Is there another step I need to take for the Music and Photos apps to find my stuff? I have pictures from some apps (wallpapers) that show up in the pictures app, but not my own stuff. Thanks!

Hi crhudetz,
There's no other step you should need to take. The TouchPad built-in apps should auto-recognize them. However, the TouchPad does use an index for files on USB drive and if you transfered a ton of files, it can take a few minutes for the TouchPad to "catch up" and index them all. If it's been a while since you transfered, try simply restarting your TouchPad:
Open Device Info
Tap Reset Options
Tap Restart

JDeveloper 11g : pbs display projects under applications window

Hi,
I don't understand because the applications window doesn't diplay anything. I haven't the structure of the projects nor the others elements :-(
I use the 11g version under Windows XP. The first time i used Jdeveloper it works well but now, it wrong :-(
I tried to install a new version but it doesn't work better.
Is anyone can help me.
Thank you.
Bob

Hi,
I suspect that you may have undocked (floated) the application navigator at some point. There is a known bug in the 11g Preview release where doing this causes the application navigator to become blank.
The workaround is to close JDeveloper and delete the windowinglayout.xml file. You can find this in c:\documents and settings\username\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.x.x.x\o.ide.
The bug has been fixed in our main codeline and the fix will be available in the production release.
Thanks,
Brian

How can I remove applications from the location service?

In System Preferences> Security & Privacy> Privacy> Location Services are applications that ask the system to use the position of the Mac
I realized, after uninstalling applications (Beta and Tweetbot Tweetbot 1.0MacAppStore and also Busycal)
are not removed completely.
In place of the icon there is a sheet with the application name
Can anyone tell me how to clean this section?
Applications the uninstall utilizizzando CleanMyMac, AppZapper and CleanApp
but I did not get the desired result.
I also looked into the operating system, but I found no trace

You can't remove anything in that list - it is placed there by the system unfortunately. As long as you do not have any checked, nothing will happen. When I got my new MBP, I immediately unchecked the "enable location services" and assume that is the reason why there is nothing showing at all:
However, I have a number of applications listed in the Contacts section - I've not allowed any because I fail to see a valid reason why a word processing app or iMovie needs my Contacts.

Organizing Applications in Applications Folder -- An Alternative Method

I know that the general advice for those looking to organize their applications better has been to create a subfolder somewhere, copy the aliases for all the applications to that folder, organize as desired, and then drop that folder onto the Dock. This strikes me a bit un-Mac OS Xy.
Well, I happened upon an alternative method that suits me much better. It is hinted at in another thread, but for the life of me I can't find it again. So here goes:
I press Command+I on my applications in Finder, then
Click Spotlight Comments, then
Type in a category for the application.
After I label all my applications,
I create a Smart Folder with
the search criteria based on the Spotlight comments I just entered.
The Smart Folder appears in the left pane of the Finder window.
I select the Smart Folder and see my organized applications.
Voilà!
I don't necessarily care about being able to select them straight from the Dock.

Nice idea, but I'm a little unclear which metadata I should use in the Smart Folder search. I don't see an item that specifically looks in the Spotlight Comments. I tried using "Comment" but that doesn't seem to work.

Viewing multiple application windows simultaneously

Is it possible to view (float) multiple application windows simultaneously on a MacBook. For example, I am viewing a tutorial on Firefox while working on an image in Photoshop at the same time to try out the suggestions in the tutorial. I have to shift from one application to the other (command + tab) to go back and forth to view one or the other window. It would be great to be able to "float" a window from Firefox over the Photoshop window so I could read the tutorial while working in Photoshop. Right now, if I click on one application, it covers over the other application completely, requiring that I switch back and forth between the two. If an application window (Firefox tutorial) could float above the other one (Photoshop image), I could read the tutorial while still working on the Photoshop image.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
[email protected]

You could resize the windows so that both fit on the screen. Granted the screen size doesn't afford a lot of space for this so I have come up with 2 different methods for solving this problem. One is using Spaces. If application A is on one Space and B is on another, using a hot corner or keystroke can change from A to B quickly. My other solution was adding a 21.5" monitor to my work station giving me enough screen real estate for multiple window display.

Is MIDP 2.0 and CLDC inluded in Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5 for CLDC?

I downloaded the "Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5 for CLDC" and "Sun Java Toolkit 1.0 for CDC" and I have JDK 6.
do I need to download anything else or is this all I need to make applications for cdc and cldc devices??
please help.
thank you.

Most devices used today support MIDP 2.0, but not all of them support CLDC 1.1. If you can do without floats, it's better to restrict yourself to CLDC 1.0 & MIDP 2.0. Devices which only support MIDP 1.0 aren't suitable for today's game development anyway (performance, resolution...) so personally I'd suggest not bothering with them if you don't have to.
Here are some lists you can use to help you decide what to use, based on how many devices you want to target:

These lists aren't complete, so please let me know if you find better ones.

New mac mini and Plasma TV

Just wondering if the new mini can be used with my new 43 inch plasma TV to play HD movies??

As long as the Plasma has DVI or HDMI input and doesn't need digital resolutions greater than 1920 by 1200 pixels you are good to go.
The tech specs also say the new mini supports coherent digital displays up to 154MHz; supports noncoherent digital displays up to 135MHz - if that floats your boat better than the other details...

What is the point of Mission Control?

I have been a Mac user since 1987, when I got my first SE/30. I understand a LOT about the Mac OS, and I consider myself and expert. For the life of me, however, I cannot figure out the point of Mission Control (or Exposé or Spaces, for that matter). Let me explain, and ask if anyone here can clear this up for me.
As I understand it, the point of Mission Control is to make it easy to access various open applications in an uncluttered workspace/desktop. If this is the case, then how is this better than, say, Quickeys, which I have used forever?
In other words, I typically use the following applications, all open at the same time: Word, Mail, Safari, my office accounting program, iTunes, iChat, and maybe one or two more. I use Quickeys and have assigned a keyboard shortcut for each - for example, control-E for mail; control-s for Safari; control-W for Word, etc. It is second nature for me to immediately go to, say, Mail by pressing control-E. Bringing the app to the front is literally instantaneous.
I "get it" that, say, Safari can show below Mail, or iTunes can show behind Word, but that (multiple windows partially overlappiong each other) has never bothered me - indeed, I've never even considered it something worthy of worry.
Thus, my question is, how does Mission Control do this - navigation of open applications - better than Quickeys? Is it simply and only to avoid the "behind the window clutter"? If so, is the contortion needed to activate Mission Control - removing fingers from keyboard, clicking mouse, navigating mouse to proper desktop, and returning keys to keyboard - worth it? If so, how? There has to be something else to this Mission Control that I am just missing.
Could one of you enlighten me?
Thanks!

Different people have different ways of working and long ago I discovered the joys of virtual desktops (think mission control). Since System 7 (when the multi-finder stopped being optional) I've been keeping lots of programs open at the same time. The problem with that is the desktop gets very cluttered very fast and getting to the right window of the right program can be challenging. Thankfully between 3rd party tools and Apple's own built in tools we have many ways of dealing with this. Mission Control (virtual desktops) is one of them.
I have assigned related programs to a single desktop. I have the Programming Desktop where the terminal, BBedit, Racket, and Xcode tools live. I have the Writing Desktop where Pages, Word, and InDesign live. And so on. This cuts down on the clutter of my display since only a couple programs appear on a single virtual desktop. Where Mission Control itself comes into play is when I need to get a resource from one Desktop to another. Say I'm writing an email and need to refer back to a document in Word. I might open the document in Word (which would move me into the Writing Desktop) then I'd shift to Mission Control and drag that Word document's window into my Internet Desktop so it would temporarily reside along with Mail so I could look at both the Word document and my email.
It isn't the only way to work but I've found it very convenient and indispensible on my notebook. On my work desktop where I have two displays my workflow is a little different since I have lots of REAL window space.

Lion server - is it right for me?

We are currently using a Mac Mini in our small office for file serviing. It is running 10.6 (NOT server). I have some software running on it that allows me to set up "mount points" for different user groups. I run the mini headless, and am able to "screen share" via the local network or through my MobileMe account using "back to my mac."
The setup works fairly well, but can be difficult to administrate.
I am considering the jump to Lion server. Looking past the marketing department descriptions I want to make sure it is the right choice for me. Here are some of the things I am doing and would like to do:
- I would like to continue sharing files. We have about 5 users. I would like to be able to set varying levels of access for each person. I can do this on an individual basis but would also like "workgroup" permissions/access.
- Right now we only have local access (except for my admin login). Ideally I would like to have the same file access (with restrictions and permissions) extended to sharing files via internet. Even better if I could limit which files or folders are available over the net for all except me.
-Looking beyond file sharing, I am interested in the WebDAV features discussed on the promo page. The short description of these features seems like I can basically run an iDisk on my mini. I can then let workers upload and download pages/keynote/number documents. We can also use this to coordinate calendars locally and across the internet. Plus it will sync with our iPads and iPhones. Am I understanding this correctly?
-Along the same lines, there is also iCal Server 3. The way I understand it, this can basically act as a replacement for the old MobileMe calendar, right? I see how calendars can be shared and understand how that works. But can these calendars also be administered, with permissions, from the server? In other words, can I (as admin) create calendars for Bob, Tom and Doris - let's say a personal and business calendar for each. Then set it up so that Doris can see Tom's business and personal calendars but only Bob's business calendar?
-Web server: I have played with the Apache server on previous non-server OS X versions. Can Lion server be easily set up to run as an INTERNAL web server? (Web pages viewable on the local network). If we wanted to make those web pages viewable outside the local network, is the process very difficult? We have a company to host our regular web and email services. I am only looking for some simple "company news" type information and maybe a small Filemaker database for a handful of employees.
We don't currently have a static IP, which I guess would be necessary for making some of these features accessible from outside the office. Do I need to get a static IP from my ISP, are there features in Lion Server that eliminate the need for that (e.g. back to my mac) or are there other options that provide a workaround for this?
Based on the above, is Lion Server what I need? Is there another product/application better suited for the above tasks?
Thanks in advance for any ideas, help or suggestions.

Do you think the monitor on the new Imac is good?
Yes, I use mine for both digital photography and working with video. The extra screen real estate is extremely handy.
If you need portability, I would keep the iBook also.

[SOLVED] dual-screen problem with awesome3.2 and firefox/gedit

Hi,
my problem is that firefox/gedit (+maybe other apps, i don't know yet) are starting in awesome like they are fullscreen apps. Firefox covers the wibox at the top of the screen, and even overlaps a bit to the seconds screen. So the keyboard-shortcuts doenst work well, because awesome then changes the tags in bots screens when on one tag firefox is opened.

Now firefox starts not overlapping with the wibox, but still a bit overlapping to the other screen, so hat my keystrokes toggle both screens. it seems that it start in floating mode, because i can move it with the mouse. When i move it a bit towarts the wibox and a bit right, it seems to get stuck in the chosen tile-layout and everything is fine... until i quit firefox and start it again.
Edit2: Hmmm, ok, i think i found it... or at least something:
-- New floating windows don't cover the wibox and don't overlap until it's unavoidable
--awful.placement.no_offscreen(c) //THIS was first uncommented
awful.placement.no_overlap(c) //THIS was first commented
So now with no_overlap it seems to work finde (although i cannot move gedit between the screens with the mouse, but i dont know if this isn't normal. Firefox is moveable between the screens.), no overlapping anymore with the wibox or to the other screen.
When i uncomment both lines, firefox and gedit are starting both on the 2nd screen (the left one), and gedit cannot be moved to the right one (although firefox can be moved.).

Is the cloud for me?

I currently have master collection 5.5...upgrading with a perpetual license would be cheaper in the long run for me...With the clear exception of the current offer you have but after the current offer expires I just simply don't see the point in getting the cloud.
I see you have a couple of more apps which I may not even use and I already have a typekit account. Story plus...barely used it in the past.
With this in mind, besides the additional services and software applications, why would the cloud be good for me?

I have to admit I didn't pay a lot of attention to the specifics, but the list was over a dozen long, so it covered at least 3/4 of the apps I have installed. The point isn't so much related to fixes, although they will be part of it, but to the fact that it's possible (both technically and in some areas legally) to push out new features and major revisions without waiting for the next "regular" release. Consider that there are something like 20 product teams working on Creative Suite applications. A major release can include only those things that every team can complete by the shut-off date when the products have to go to manufacturing. Some part of the Photoshop team might have a major new feature that they need an extra month for, let's say, but release dates have to be set, venues booked, tours planned, marketing materials made ready, video tutorials prepped... A product launch is like a full scale military campaign. It involves thousands of people in dozens of countries. Everything has to dovetail.
The Creative Cloud has the potential to free the individual teams from these constraints to some degree, so that when a feature that customers really need is ready, it can be pushed out immediately. We win, the Adobe folks win, and our clients win if we can do things for them that would have been infeasible or involve some new demand (think iPad and ePublishing) that nobody saw coming 6 months earlier. One thing that's important to keep in mind is that we're not talking about a faceless corporation. These are real people who are as passionate about their work as you and I are about ours. They want to make their applications better. They get excited about new ways they can help us get our jobs done. You only have to spend an hour or two talking with some product manager or engineering lead to know how enthusiastic they are, and how much they care about what they do.
I don't have a crystal ball to know exactly how it will all work, and I'm willing to bet that there are folks at Adobe wondering about it too. This is a radical move, and all that server infrastructure and code didn't come cheap, I'll bet. In some ways it has to be a bit of an educated gamble. My opinion is it's the right move, because it gives them the ability to be fluid with releases and application management, but ask me in a year, and I can answer better. One thing is for sure, the price of entry has just dropped dramatically, and that will bring its own changes that we have no way of foreseeing.

Memory leakage Macbook pro retina 15inch Early 2013

Hi,
This is my first posting to the Apple community, so please forgive me if have missed a previous posting on this subject.
I have an early 2013 15 inch MBPro retina running 8 gigs. My previous device was a MBpro 15 early 2008 4 gigs of ram. I never expected the 2013 with double the ram to be constantly dropping below 2 gigs with only FireFox and/or MS word running.   The older 2008 device used only 2 gigs to run these programs. It appears that the 2013 model is using 6 gigs.
I took the 2013 15 inch MBpro retina to the Apple store for the Geniuses to run their diagnostics. They said my device was running normally. To prove such, they simultaneously opened Jim Carrey's web site 8 times and showed me that all of his the crazy stuff was working in each window. They said that it is normal for a SSD machine to run on low memory.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that when my memory drops when just using my normal Firefox based surfing, my track pad scrolling starts to get very sluggish until my "memory clean" kicks in at 1.6 gigs and brings the memory up to around 2.5 gigs. As I continue to surf, then the process repeats itself. I never expected my old 2008 device to use significantly less ram running light applications better than my new 2013 device.
I have seen others post an "EtreCheck" and hopefully by posting mine, somebody can find what the Apple Geniuses could not.
Thank you for your help!!

For OS X 10.9 and later it is normal that all memory is put to use. This shouldn't cause any slowness though (it doesn't on my rMBP with 8GB).
Have you tried things like SMC Reset, PRAM/NVRAM reset and Safe Boot?

What is the best way to save an ai file so it can be opened in corel draw

I have an ai file that needs to be opened in corel draw by a client. It needs to remain editable all paths and colors ect.
Whats the best way to save it so it can be.
yes I know corel is not as good as Illustrator but its what they have.

Moving files back and forth between Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW is tricky. There's quite a bit more to it than knowing what version of CorelDRAW the client is using. If the artwork is fairly simple then there shouldn't be any problem with transferring the artwork into CorelDRAW. If the artwork has gradients, transparency effects, a lot of clipping masks, etc. then it's going to be a lot more dicey getting it to import into CorelDRAW properly. In addition to the .AI file you provide, you should give the client a PDF they can view in Adobe Reader or Acrobat so they can proof how the artwork is really supposed to look.
I use Adobe Illustrator CC and CorelDRAW X6 in my work. I've used both applications for over 20 years. I don't consider either application better than the other. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I'll do a good bit of creative work within CorelDRAW to use certain features Illustrator either lacks or just doesn't do as well. Or I may need to design a really big project at full scale and Corel has a much bigger art board than Illustrator. Most of the time I move a lot of the stuff I created in CorelDRAW over to Illustrator for further refinement or moving it into Photoshop as paths or smart objects or just getting it ready to print (I don't like Corel's color engine even though it has improved in recent years).
Like others have said, you need to know the basics of what the user has -mainly which version of CorelDRAW. The newer versions like the one I'm using can open Illustrator CS5 files. For older versions, you may have to save down to CS2 or even really old versions like Illustrator 8.
CorelDRAW will not support certain Illustrator-dependent effects. For instance, if you apply a gradient to an object outline it will be lost when opened in CorelDRAW. A lot of other effects won't be maintained when opened in Corel unless they are flattened/expanded. Some effects may even have to be rasterized, and that can create other issues. Out of effects that are maintained, some may have to be adjusted. CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator handle things like gradient fills differently and don't understand how to portray gradients from their rival application accurately. Some nice fill that was created in CorelDRAW may have to be tweaked or completely rebuilt when opened in Illustrator.
I get a lot of customer files in CorelDRAW and also a lot in Illustrator. That reason alone makes it necessary for me to have both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator running on my computer.
