Grreat potential, but I need to return it....
I really like the AppleTV for it's size, capabilities, and ease of use but it has a fatal flaw for me that means I need to return it.
With over 700 ripped-DVD's in my iTunes collection, plus > 40 Gigs of music I never get any of my iphoto collection onto the box which means that the default screen saver shows the default Apple images loaded onto the system rather than the ones of my grand-daughter we want to see. To state that my wife is unhappy with this one problem would be an understatement, so unless someone can explain how I can force my iPhoto Library in place it's back to the MythTV box for me.
Thanks,

I don't think that is accurate about the number of photos that you can get on the Apple TV, I think you can get your full collection or very close. I comfortably have 14,000 on my Apple TV. I didn't think they would fit but it appears there might be some kind of compression going on as they move to the Apple TV, which may explain why it takes a LONG TIME to sync photos. Start it and go to bed or to work (and check on it when you get back, it may not be done - ha ha). By the way, I suggest clearing off all other content (with exception of a few of your favorite music files which you can use to play along with your photo slideshows). I had exactly the same reaction as you initially when I realized the photo situation. However fortunately the syncing works so well that is fully reasonable to keep movies and majority of music on your computer and use Appled TV hard drive only for photos and a little music. Try it before you give up on it. Wifey will be happy .

When I started up my computer and clicked Mozilla Firefox a box popped up asking me if I wanted to use Safe Browser or default browser d14 and some more letters and numbers. I have never been asked this and thought maybe there was a problem so I decided to do safe browser. It wasn't until clicking ok that I realized there was a check in a box that said don't ask again open start up. Now I have none of my bookmarks or history and I need those things to be able to pay my bills as well as other sites that I use often, but do not remember how to get to them. I tried shutting down my computer, but now It just takes me to a page and when I try and log in to places it doesn't recognize me. Is there any way to find my previous browser? Please help!
Thanks you,
LindseyDo not use any option to rename or delete profiles.
Do not this stage use any options to restore or import bookmarks.
#With Firefox closed <br /> Use '''WindowsKey''' + '''R''' to get a run box
#Key in ''firefox.exe -P''
#That should offer you a choice of profiles to use. Select one, and look for your bookmarks. Make a note of the profile names, and which bookmarks set you have. (Probably one will have almost no boookmarks, and one will have all your bookmarks)
#Try each profile in turn by repeating the steps.
Post back to say if you found the lost bookmarks. -

I understand that OUt parameter should not be used in funtions... Then I am eager to know, why oracle has provided the opton of OUT Parameter in funtion creation ? Hope you can explain that..This is an option is many languages.
And there is valid use for it. PL/SQL however does not implement the full solution. An OUT parameter is essentially passing parameters by reference and not passing it by value.
Passing by reference means passing a pointer to the function/procedure to the variable in the caller. This allows the function/procedure to directly reference the value in the caller.
Passing by value means that the value from the variable in the caller is copied to the stack space of the function/procedure being called. The function/procedure thus has its own local copy of that value.
That could be a performance and resource problem when the caller has a large data structure and the entire structure needs to be copied from the caller to the called procedure/function. In such a case it is a lot faster (and less memory needed) to simply pass a pointer to that structure to the function/procedure being called.
And this is basically what an OUT parameter does - it allows PL/SQL code direct access to write into the variable of the calling code.
In some cases you may have a large data structure, want to pass it by reference, but do not want the function/procedure being called to change it. You do not want to allow it modify your large data structure. You simply want to pass a pointer and allow read access to the function/procedure.
In other languages, such a parameter is defined as a constant - as constants cannot be changed. So the parameter signature will look something like the following:
create or replace function FooFunc( largeStruct CONSTANT IN OUT NOCOPY SomeDataType ) return SomeOtherDataType is ..And this is the only time that you should use an OUT parameter (passing by reference) in a function - when the function parameter is a large data structure. At the same time, the function is disallowed from changing that OUT parameter. It is passed as an OUT parameter simply to increase call performance and reduce memory requirements.
PL/SQL unfortunately does not support this - allowing a value to be passed as a constant reference.
As for why PL/SQL supports it the way it does - it does not mean that because PL/SQL supports OUT parameters for functions, it should be used. PL/SQL also supports the GoTo statement. Simply because it supports a specific feature does not mean that it is a good idea to use it. -
I need to return an external drive (Seagate GoFlex Satellite) to windows NTFS uncompressed format but disc utility keeps formatting in NTFS compressed.
OS X can only read NTFS partitions. I doubt it can create them. I only see MSDOS FAT and ExFAT as choices in Disk Utility and neither are NTFS. If you have MacFUSE installed and the NTFS-3G plugin you might be able to do it in Disk Utility. However, it will be very very slow.
It might be easier to connect the drive to a PC and format it that way. Use the quick format option unless you suspect the disk to have bad sectors. Or setup Boot Camp, install Windows and format the drive when you dual boot into Windows. Or you could setup a virtual machine using Oracle VirtualBox, Parallels, or VMWare Fusion to access Windows so you can format the disk. -
I bought a new ipod touch today. I tried to install it and it says i need itunes 10.4 so i tried to download that, it said i needed mac os x 10.5 so i tried to down load that it gave me another message. how do i get my new ipod onto my mac? Or do i need to return the ipod?
New iPod Touch devices require a minimum of Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 in addition to a fairly recent version of iTunes. If you are running Tiger (10.4) or earlier, you can't just update to Leopard for free; you have to buy it.

Need help returning correct name from a code created movie clip
Hello. I am an AS3 n00b with hopefuly a simple question I am designing a simple game in flash. This code creates an array of movie clips and asigns a picture to each one. It is a map screen. What I need is when I click on one of the created movie clips, I need it to return either the index of the clip in the array or the name of the clip. Basicaly anything I can use to tell them apart in the code. Here is the code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var MapLoader:Array = new Array();
var strJPGext:String = ".jpg";
var intContTileNumber:int;
var strContTilePath:String;
var intDistStartX:int = 63;
var intDistStartY:int = 64;
var intDistMultiplyY:int = 0;
var intDistMultiplyX:int = 0;
var intDistCount:int = 0;
var MapSquare:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 729; i++)
//var MapSquare:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
MapSquare.push (new MovieClip());
MapSquare[i].x = intDistStartX + (intDistMultiplyX * 30);
MapSquare[i].y = intDistStartY + (intDistMultiplyY * 30);
MapSquare[i].name = "MapSquare" + i ;
addChild(MapSquare[i]);
intContTileNumber = i;
MapLoader.push (new Loader);
strContTilePath = intContTileNumber + strJPGext;
MapLoader[i].load(new URLRequest(strContTilePath));
MapSquare[i].addChild(MapLoader[i]);
intDistCount++;
intDistMultiplyX++;
if (intDistCount > 26){
intDistCount = 0;
intDistMultiplyX = 0;
intDistMultiplyY++;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reportClick);
function reportClick(event:MouseEvent):void
trace("movieClip Instance Name = " + event.target.name);
Now all this works fine, it creates the map and assigns the correct picture and places them in the correct X,Y position and it is the correct grid of 27x27 squares. The problem is with the name, when I click on the movie clip, it returns "Instance2" or "Instance5" or whatever. It starts with 2 and then increases each number by 3 for each clip, so the first one is 2, then 5 then 8 and so on. This is no good. I need it to return the name that I assigned it
. If I put the code in trace(MapSquare[1]) it will return the name "MapSquare1" so I know the name was assigned, but it isnt returning.
Please assist
Thanks,
-redThanks for the resopnse,
I know I dont really need the name, I just need the index number of the array, but I cant figure out how to get the index name without specificaly coding for it. That is why in the listener event I use event.target.name because I dont know what movie clip is being clicked until it has been clicked on. Basically when a movie clip is clicked it needs to return which index of the array was clicked.
I could do it this way:
MapSquare[0].addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been clicked!");
MapSquare[1].addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been clicked!");
MapSquare[2].addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been clicked!");
... ect
but that is unreasonable and it kind of defeats the purpose of having the array in the first place. The code that each movie clip executes is the same, eventualy that index will be passed into a database and the data at that primary key will be retrieved and returned to the program. So I just need to know, when one of those buttons is clicked, which one was clicked and what is its index in the array.
I am a VB programer and in VB this is very easy, the control array automatically sends its own index into the function when one of the buttons is clicked. It seems simple enough, I just dont know how to do it in action script.
Thanks again,

Need To Return Calendar Events For Current Day
Hello,
I have a calendar which includes seperate start and end date fields. I need to write a query that will return events for each day in a month, but I need to be mindful of the fact that some events span multiple days. Here is my query so far which isn't working quite right.
<cfquery name="qTodayEvents" datasource="#getDatasource()#">
SELECT eventID, title, summary, code, description
FROM events INNER JOIN eventTypes ON events.typeID=eventTypes.typeID
WHERE deleted=0
AND
startDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND endDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
AND endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
</cfquery>
The query is located inside a loop which loops through the days in a given month.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
SimonYou have to do nested loops - one for the days of the month, and once for the query. It probably does not matter which is nested inside of what. You want your query ordered by EndDate. Then you can do something like this.
ControlDate = Date1;
MaxDate = arraymax(yourquery["enddate"]);
<cfloop condition = ControlDate lt Date2>
<cfloop from = "1" to = yourquery.recordcount index = 1>
<cfif ControlDate >= StartDate and ControlDate <= EndDate>
your code goes here
<cfelse>
break
</cfif>
<cfloop>
add a day to ControlDate
maybe break if the control date is greater than the max date.
</cfloop> -
Warning this is very long code but i need help to see if I am on right trac
I have done all the following code myself and it is the buisiness layer for my application. I have tried to follow recommendations on previous posts and I would like to be told where I can clean up my code and how? This is not complete and it looks very long to me but I need help in order to be better. There are 4 button vlivks and I have not completed them all. The criteria for application is that phonebook will accept new entries if they have names surnames and phone numbers that are not longer than 10 characters for display purposes but can change this. No duplicates are allowed. No editing of a existing entry must lead to a duplicate entry either. No new entry or edit may result in a new contact having no phone numbers.
Many thanks for your time in advance,.....

Why do I need to return the old part, if I purchase a new part?
Well, I had a problem with my motherboard, and got it replaced by an on-site tech HP sent me.
The notebook is well out of warranty, aand I paid for the new motherboard+labor.
However, when the tech showed up, he said he won't replace the motherboard unless I give him the old motherboard. He went on to say that this was the "company policy" and he won't let me keep any old part even if I pay for the new part.
I was too tired t o argue with him, and he replaced the motherboard, and took away the old motherboard.
On second thought, this is pretty absurd.
It's like HP telling me "If you purchase a new HP notebook, you'll have to return your old HP notebook back to us".
It would make sense if I was getting a free replacement and the notebook was under warranty. It doesn't make any sense when the notebook is out of warranty and I'm paying for the replacement part.
Think of it, when I purchased the notebook, i obviously paid for the motherboard that came with the notebook. So why does HP get to take it away from me?
If I purchase a new battery from HP store instead of amazon, do I need to return my old battery to HP?
If I purchase a new keyboard from the HP store, do I need to return my old keyboard?
I can give you the case number if you want.
Honestly, if this is the "company policy", I won't ever bother with another HP product again.
This question was solved.
View Solution.HP only has new motherboards. They sell the bad ones into the Chinese market and they show up on eBay and similar places. You have a new motherboard. If you can tell us the part number of what you bought we can tell you the "full" price and the "exchange" price of the part. They should definitely explain the options to you but I think they likely assume you want the lower exchange price.

Need to return data from a query in different ways - Please help
We are using 10g R2
I have a proc as follows that has a query with over 100 values in the select clause:
proc one( input param1, input_param2,.... output_cursor )
as
begin
open cursor for
select ...about 100 values with most of them being calculated
from table1, view 1, table2, table 3, view 2 ...
where ....
and table1.col1 = input param1
and table1.col2 = input param 2
and view1.col5 = input param5...
end;
I need to return the data that comes from the above query in different formats, columns for a report would be different from columns for screen A and different for screen B. I need only certain columns for a report and different set of columns for another screen. I have wrapper procs that get different input params. From the wrapper procs I intend to call the above proc but would like only selected values.
How can I accomplish this? Since my main goal is to select different columns for each wrapper I was thinking of insert the data from the above proc into global temp table and selecting whatever columns and order I want from the wrappers.
What do you think? Any other solutions?
Thanks
Edited by: user565033 on Jan 21, 2013 7:50 PMYou need to clearly separate roles and responsibilities. The PL/SQL code that creates and supplies a cursor handle is server code tasked to supply data. The code that makes the call for server data, is responsible for formatting and rendering that data.
Thus moving data formatting into the server code needs to be question. Simple example. Cursor does not return invoice date as a date - but formats it into a string using TO_CHAR().
This works for client1 - as that is the date format expected. However, client2 has different International settings and specifies a different date format. Invoice date, formatted into a string by the server, now renders in the wrong format on client2.
Server code should not be concerned with rendering and formatting of data send to a client.
As for the idea to use a global temp table is ..., well to put it nicely, it smells. Badly.
The single most expensive operation on a database platform is I/O. And now you want to read server data and write it to temporary storage, and the read data from temporary storage to return to the client? What on earth for!? Why purposefully increase the size of the I/O workload? Why decrease performance and undermine scalability?
Provide a proper abstraction interface to the client. Enable it to specify (as simplistically as possible) what it wants ito data. There are a number of ways to design and implement this in PL/SQL. Simplistic example:

Hello, I would like to create and print a contact sheet in Photoshop elements 13. I have managed to do that but I need desperately to be able to place a title on the contact sheet. Also, each photograph has as name and I need these names to show up on the contact sheet when I print them out. If this is not possible I will just return my product. I have an old old version of Photoshop that will do just that but with this new elements I cannot find it.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13/13.1 running on?
Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, open the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 and select your media
for the Contact Sheet.
Go to File Menu/Print and set up the Print Dialog for Contact Sheet.
If you used Edit Menu/Add Caption beforehand, I can see how you can get
Date
Caption
Filename
under the Print dialog's "4" and even a page number if you have more than 1 page. But, I am not seeing
where you are going to get a title for each of the contact sheets.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
You can get into the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 from the Welcome Screen or by clicking on the Organizer Tab
at the bottom of the Expert workspace in the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 Editor.
Please let us know if we have targeted your quesiton..
Thank you.

[Solved] WM similair to Awesome but without need to learn a PL.
Hello all.
I search for a WM similar to Awesome 3.4 but without needing to learn a programming language to configure it.
I think Ratpoison is nice ,but I can all that I can do with awesome-bar with it pop-up bar?
Is there something like that.
Thanks for that.

if you want a WM that reads is config from static files (xml, ini-style, etc) you must realize:
1) it's in no way as flexible as something that uses a scripting/programming language.
2) it's not like awesome.
I know about that but by this I mean default built-in bar used by awesome and how it's configurable.
I know that using a PL in config file makes WM more configurable but you know I someone don't understand the syntax of PL in config file I not this.

ScrotWM is similar to AwesomeWM. It is simple to configure, but it also does not have nearly as many features. Personally, I never used those features anyway (like line graphs or spiral layouts).
Here is a bit of the config file:
# set the menu key
bind[menu] = MOD+p
# set a binding to launch a terminal
program[term] = xterm
bind[term] = MOD+Shift+Return
Does not get much simpler than that.
Wow ScrotWM is nice I think it will be really easy to configure it , thanks. -

I have just uploaded 31.3.0. I need to return to earlier version. Please send it to me.
The new version is horrible. The alternating blue/white/blue/white colors in address lines are making me dizzy and sick. Same thing is happening in SUBJECT line. I don't go to discos, and I don't want flashing, changing colors on my screen. It slows me up - I used to type first letters of a name as recipient, now I need to wait for the color to change or something.
Please send me the previous version, which was perfect.
Thank you,
DavidDavid you can find any TB version here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/
but i don't think that there are flashing colours in the new version
