FLV that won't display

I created a DW CS5.5 file, (code is below) I embedded an FLV that won't play once the page is on the webserver, although in DW Liveview mode it plays fine.
Please advise what I need to change to make this play on the server. The live page link: www.kappythekangaroo.com/animation.html

http://www.kappythekangaroo.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
http://www.kappythekangaroo.com/Clear_Skin_1.swf
both return "File Not Found"
The first is the actual video player file, the second is the player skin.
So either you didn't upload the files or you put them someplace else.
http://www.kappythekangaroo.com/kappy.flv
the actual .flv file is in your root folder, so that's probably where you should put the other two also.

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

The video out on an iPod does not go trough the earphonesjack.
It goes trough the place where you put youre dock conector in (on the bottom)
Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

Another flv that won't play

Can someone help with why the flv won't play on testing
server.

Just put us both out of our misery and select that folder and
upload it.
Does it work now?

Don't mix AWT and Swing widgets. Fix that, then ask again, preferably in the Swing section.

Recovering from resolution selection that won't display

my intel mac mini arrived today. setup, including transfer of info from prior machine was a breeze. connected it via HDMI to a Sharp LCD. to explore which resolutions might display best, I clicked one that was displayed in the list but which I soon discovered was NOT compatible with the LCD TV. Now only display is "Signal Not Compatible." When I reboot, I see the usual apple startup in the TV's default resolution, but once it is started to switches to that incompatible resolution. But then of course I can't open the Display panel and change anything. A real catch-22!
I am able to startup in single user mode (holding down command-S at startup) and look around in the Library/Preferences and elsewhere. Is there a plist to delete that will stop the switching to the incompatible signal?

that worked. I knew to get rid of
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
but I hadn't found and removed
~username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxx.plist
because looking in the ByHost directory hadn't occured to me. I was looking for the windowserver files in ~username/Library/Preferences
and one can find and delete these files using either single user mode or by using terminal in safe boot.
In any case, I'm back in business. Thanks for all the help!
Uh, this seems a problem that lots of more naive users are going to run into when they buy a mac mini for the media center. Without being comfortable with basic unix, this would be a difficult problem for the typical hom user to fix.

A panel that won't display

I've created a class "highscores" which reads data from XML, i've used it before so this should work... i put all the data into a list and i want to display it in a panel which containts a label.
but somehow the panel isn't visible, i tried a lot of things but it still doesn't work, anyone got tips?
this is the code to attacj & display the panem to it's frame:
private void HighScoresMenuActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
mContent.removeAll();
Ballkov_Highscores gamePanel = new Ballkov_Highscores();
gamePanel.setFocusable(true);
mContent.add(gamePanel);
setVisible(true);
and this the code of the panel itself:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Ballkov_Highscores extends JPanel {
List XmlHighscores = new ArrayList();
public Ballkov_Highscores(){
GetHighscores myGetHighscores = new GetHighscores();
XmlHighscores = myGetHighscores.LeesScores("highscores.xml");
JLabel Score_label = new JLabel();
Score_label.setFont(new Font("Century Gothic",1,16));
Score_label.setLocation(10,10);
Score_label.setText(ToString());
JButton Ok_button = new JButton("Terug naar het menu");
Ok_button.setLocation(50,50);
Ballkov_Defaults myDefaults = new Ballkov_Defaults();
Dimension framedimensie = new Dimension(myDefaults.getGAME_BREEDTE(),
myDefaults.getGAME_HOOGTE());
setPreferredSize(framedimensie);
setVisible(true);
public String ToString(){
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i < XmlHighscores.size() ; i++) {
sb.append(((Player)XmlHighscores.get(i)).toString());
sb.append( "\n" );
return sb.toString();
}

This question is off topic for this forum. Please post this in a more appropriate forum like the swing or awt forum.

RH7 compiled topics won't display and throw an IE (syntax) script error

Pundits,
I am using RH 7 to create projects of about 600 topics. My OS is Windows XP Pro 2002, SP-3. My problem is that approximately 10% of the topics in my .chm file prompt an IE script error msg when I, or anyone else, tries to open them.
Here's the error msg:
When this window displays, user can click on either Yes or No and topic will display normally; the next time a user attempts to open this topic, same error displays, with same Yes/No click behavior.
When I look at the html for any of the "bad" topics (i.e., topics that won't display), there is always this one extra line of code, referring to the ehlpdhtm.js file in my project folder:
<script language="javascript" src="ehlpdhtm.js"></script>
This line is never in the html of the "good" topics.
Can anyone shed any light on what's causing this, and what I can do to remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

William,
I have gone thru my project now and, as I stated in my May 1 mail to you, I have made duplicates of all of the "bad" topics and all of these new topics are now displaying correctly.
Now I have a related, but different issue.
Only one topic is causing that same error msg to display (refer to my original April 27 post: IE script error/syntax error; Line 13, character 1).
The only topic that throws that error msg is the initial topic that displays when the .chm file is opened (i.e., the topic that is specified as the "Default Topic" in the HTML Help Options window when I click the Generate Layout button in the SSL pod.)
Furthermore, the topic that throws the error message will only do so if it is the one specified as the Default Topic.
As an example, if I have the topic Apple specified as the Default Topic, when the .chm file is opened the error msg window will display; when the user clicks either Yes or No to the "Do you want to continue running scripts?" query, the Apple topic will display normally. Each time that topic is selected it will throw the same error msg. window.
If I go back to my project in RH and change the Default Topic to the Pear topic, re-compile the project, when the .chm file is opened the error msg will display; when you click Yes/No the Pear topic will display normally (until it's selected again). The Apple topic now displays fine at all times.
This tells me that the problem seems not to be with the Apple topic, as I'd suspected, but with something that's going on with RH and how it displays the initial topic in a compiled project. I think.
Any ideas on how I can remedy this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Images won't display

Hello,
I am building a site for a photographer. Just some thumbnail
pages with
links to larger images in series. I'm stuck with a page that
won't display
some jpg's while other pages will. Have tried the document

You can click on the
place holders which will tell of the image without display
it.
The home page is

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try renaming the files without the pound symbol.

Manage Views - newly created view won't display

Hi All,
I was recently asked to create a portfolio view for a new senior project manager. I've done this before so I thought it would be fine. However, once I create the view and I go back in to the Poject Centre, the view won't display. It just shows
a grey page. I then deleted the view I created and duplicated an existing view (but just changed the filter so it showed the projects managed by the senior's directs) but even that won't display.
I don't understand why this has worked every time previously and not now. Any idea what it could be?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
Clair.

Hi Clair,
What does exactly happen? Can you see the view name in the view drop down menu?
In case you don't, there are 2 main things to validate:
Which type of view did you select? In order to be accessible from the project center, it has to be a project center view and not for example a project view. See screenshot below (unfortunately in french).
Did you correctly associated the appropriate security category with the view? Indeed, if project manager are in the default project manager security group that is associated to the "my projects" category, you need to associate the newly created
view with the "my projects" category.
In case you see the view in the dropdown list but when selecting it, nothing is diplayed, check for filters in the project center page or directly in the view configuration. Check also if the account you're connecting with has proper rights to access the
list of projects displayed by the view.
Hope this helps.

Won't display bands that starts with Z

My iPod has the strange, strange problem that it won't display ZZ Top. I can find the songs by searching through Albums, but they just don't show up on the All Artists list.

It is because Apple is doing you a favor by not letting you access ZZ Top songs.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
Thoughts please.....
Thanks much
Ginger

Awwww......that's it....the dash! I tapped it. Tried to drag it up/down and it didn't move. Now I swiped and it's back!
So I need to remember to drag up/down and now swipe.....
Thanks much!

Repairing laptops that won't boot and show the blinking caps

Here's a little tutorial for all of you who have this annoying issue. It mostly applies to the 1 blink code (other codes have much simpler and straightforward solutions).
Ok, so the code says that it's caused because of a not functional CPU. That is most likely not the case. Most people who had the 1 blink code actually had a problem with the integrated video graphics card or northbridge of their laptops, not the CPU (in fact, CPU failures are quite uncommon). The problem is that these chips overheat quite often, they don't have good cooling and dissipation systems (most of the time, it is shared with the CPU which is absolutely insane), and the solder connections are of very bad quality. So with overheating, solder points start fracturing or cracking and they stop making contact, which causes all these issues, including the infamous RRoD and YLoD issues in the Xbox and Playstation consoles with their soldered video chips.
So there are two main ways of dealing with this:
1 - Reflow
This is a short-term but easy solution that simply consists of reheating the damaged component to the point of getting rid of said fractures. It has a high success rate, as many people will tell you. It worked for me always, but again, after some time the issue may come back. Still, this is a very simple solution that doesn't require too much skill or equipment and is satisfying enough for most users. This is what I'm going to show how to do in this tutorial.
2 - Reball
Reflowing doesn't always work, and when it does, it doesn't last long. Instead, reballing is a permanent solution which consists of removing the chip in its entirety and replacing all the solder contacts. Reballing requires specific equipment (a reball station), reballing stencils and leaded solder balls. It is a long procedure, which requires some skill and it only should be performed by experienced people. When a reflow won't work, you are better off sending your laptop to a reballing technician, or buying a new one (which would be a waste, in my opinion).
Ok, so how can we do a reflow? There are many ways to do this:
1) Reheating your laptop: This is a simple as it sounds. Some people call it the "blanket" method, because you can just simply turn on your laptop, wrap it with a blanket or sweater and let it run until it shuts down because of overheating. I absolutely don't recommend doing this, as there are probably many working components (particularly the hard drive holding your data) that won't benefit from the overheating. I recommend disassembling the laptop and taking out all the good parts, like the hard drive, RAM sticks and any extra PCI-e cards installed. After that you can just simply unplug the cooling fan connector from the board then turn the laptop on. This will cause it to overheat faster, so you won't have to waste hours waiting for it to get hot (using the blanket method, it can take a lot of time). Most laptops will shutdown themselves after reaching a certain threshold temperature, if yours doesn't, well, just keep an eye on it so you can turn it off before it catches fire. After it turns off, let it rest and cool for at least an hour, then connect the cooling fan again, turn the laptop on and see if it boots. If it doesn't, well, you can keep trying this until it does (not recommended after 3 tries or so), or try the next methods.
2) The oven method: This a bit tricky, but it may be more successful in some cases. First, strip down your computer until you get to the bare board holding the video chip. Remove the CPU, heatsink & fan, RAM, BIOS battery, wires, speakers, stickers, plastic sticky guards, foam spacers, absolutely everything that can be removed from the motherboard. Then preheat your household oven to approximately 200°C or 385°F. If your oven does not have a digital temperature display, perhaps use an internal oven thermometer to make sure the oven is in the right temperature range. Roll up some kitchen foil into balls, between half an inch and an inch wide, and place them on a baking tray. Place your motherboard, with CPU socket and GPU facing upwards, on top of the foil balls. It is a good idea to wrap additional foil around the more sensitive parts of the motherboard, like areas where there are capacitors and the CPU socket.
Try to wrap the rest of the motherboard in foil to protect it, leaving just the GPU exposed on both the top and bottom of the motherboard. Then place the baking tray with the laptop motherboard on it into the preheated oven.
Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated at this stage, turn on the extractor fan to full power and/or open an outside door and windows. This will help to take away any fumes. Ideally, you should leave the kitchen while any fumes are still present. A couple of times during the procedure, have a quick look through the oven door (without opening it) making sure there are no smoke or flames visible. This is unlikely to occur, but can happen if stickers were left on the motherboard. After 8 minutes, turn the oven off and open the oven door. Do not remove the motherboard from the oven at this stage, it could be very hot and it is a better idea to allow it to cool down gradually. Take care not to inhale any fumes that might be present. After 20 minutes to half an hour, remove the cool motherboard from the oven and begin rebuilding your laptop. If all has gone well, it will boot up and the problem will be fixed. If the problem remains, you could try the procedure again, leaving it in the oven for a couple of minutes longer.
After performing a reflow in an oven, I recommend cleaning the oven thoroughly, then turn it on and allow any fumes that may have built up to be completely removed. This is especially important before cooking food in the oven again.
3) The heat gun method: Probably the best way to do a reflow, it is less destructive than the previous method (as you can focus on a single place, rather than overheating the entire board), but it may be worse than the first. The first step is to test out how well your heat gun will melt the solder. Place a chunk of solder on a coin, hold the heat gun one inch above it and record how long it takes the solder to flow. Once you have the timing right, mask off the motherboard (already removed from the case) so that just the chip in question is accessible. Reflow with the same spacing and timing as you did during the coin test.
Did it work?
If your laptop works now, then you can do a couple of extra things to avoid this problem in the future:
Avoid overheating by underclocking the CPU: You can run your laptop's CPU at a lower clock speed (it will run slower, BUT not as much as you think. Undercloking by a 50% doesn't mean your laptop will perform 50% slower). It not only protects your laptop from damaging over time, it has the added benefits of making it run *much* cooler and quieter and also having longer battery life, which is awesome as well. To do this, simply (in Windows 7 and up) click the battery icon in your notification area, select More power options, then change the selected plan (like Balanced) settings (click on Change plan settings), select Change advanced power settings, scroll down and, under Processor power management, Maximum processor state, type on both 'On Battery' and 'Plugged in' a value less than 50%. Change Minimum processor state to 1% and then System cooling policy to Active.
Avoid playing heavy games and running intensive applications: Such programs very often cause the underpowered integrated graphics card and CPU to overheat, which causes all these issues. Use a desktop machine with dedicated graphics for such programs if you want your laptop to last.
Again, always take out the hard drive before any of these procedures if you don't wanna lose any data, and if you can, any other components that can get damaged in the way. Note that a reflow, particularly the oven or heat gun methods are usually last-ditch resorts because they can permanently damage your computer, in particular if performed incorrectly. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I can't be held responsible for any accidents or unwanted results that may occur after following this tutorial. If you have doubts, then you're generally better off sending your laptop to professional technicians than trying to repair these kind of issues by yourself. Unless a repair costs more than replacing your laptop, that is.
And before starting any of these procedures, try to research your issue on the Internet as much as you can. Search for your particular model, search in this exact same forum and any other as you'll be able to read about people experiencing this problem. You can search reflow on your favorite search engine and you'll find detailed tutorials and many videos which will show the procedure and help you do a better repair. Once you're very comfortable and knowledgeable with the subject, you can go ahead with the repair.

This is actually good stuff and well written but I hesitate to advise people to use either the "oven trick" or really even the heat gun method as both are notriously short-lived even if they appear effective. Your far better bet is to send the board in to one of the vendors on the internet who are set up to do a proper reball. Even those fixes are good for maybe 12-18 mos. But again, you get a high grade for spelling it out.

IMac 2.66 Radeon HD 2600 Pro: some Excel files won't display in ppt decks

Running Leopard 10.5.8 and MS Office 2004
Two iMac (8.1) 2.66 GHz with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video won't display some Excel files in PowerPoint decks, but iMac 1.83 GHz Core Duo will display o.k. as will MacBook Pro, MacBook, etc. Installing a trial version of Office 2008, both iMac 2.66 GHz display the PowerPoint files o.k.
I could downgrade the users to Intel iMac 1.83 GHz, or buy two copies of Office 2008 and support them, neither of which is a great solution.
Looking for a simple fix or workaround on what seems to be a video card issue. Don't seem to see this problem or a fix on the ATI site. I've googled this but haven't run into a similar issue.

Well, Office 2008 is only $110 USD at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2008-Home-Student/dp/B000X86ZAS/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1251560959&sr=8-1
That seems the least expensive solution to me.

Desktop icons won't display on Desktop

I recently installed a couple of what seemed to be interesting menubar items (MenuStrip and Isolator). Shortly after (not concurrent with) I lost the icons that show up on the Desktop of files in the Desktop folder. The files are all intact - nothing lost, they just don't show up on the Desktop.
I've removed these two applications using AppZapper, run the new DiskWarrior 4.1.1, repaired the permissions, run repair disk from Disk Utility, reinstalled Leopard from the DVD, and now I'm at a loss on how to bring back those icons.
I'm running OS X 10.5.5 on an Intel Mac Mini. I use a Newer MiniStack as my boot drive. If I boot from the internal drive (which is virtually virgin from the day of purchase), the Desktop icons from that user are displayed as they should be.
Is there someway to "rebuild" the Desktop or otherwise bring things back to normal?
Thanks in advance,
-Tod

Added info:
I also recently tried using Path Finder 5. It also has been "shredded."
I was just poking around my Desktop and found that clicking on the Desktop itself while another app (say like Safari) is frontmost, clicking won't bring the Finder to the front. Sounds like something left over from Path Finder, though I deleted all its prefs using AppZapper.
