Have a new ipod shuffle trying to get started with it.but my laptop dosn,t recognise it and no "assistant "shows up to help me locate the shuffle
can,t get my shuffle to be recognised by my laptop so i can,t sync it
i,ve downloaded itunes but nothing happens when i connect shuffle
no assistant appears
I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

Trying to get started with Lr 5 and already in trouble
I just downloaded LR 5 and when asked if I wanted to use the default for Catelog I choose to brouse and direct it to my Cateloge of Pictures on the harddrive when my pictures are stored.... I did this thinnking that it would link me to the pictures... now I am not sure that is what it was asking during the download.. was it asking for the location where Lr will store the data files? Help!!
The catalog (which is really a database) is a file that Lightroom creates, and it contains all the work you do in Lightroom, but not the photos themselves, which are never stored in Lightroom.
The catalog can go anywhere you want it to go, it does not have to be in the same folder as your photos, and there is no benefit, nor is there a disadvantage, to placing it in the same folder as the photos.
Most people recommend that your catalog file should be stored on the fastest hard disk on your computer, which is often the internal disk or a SSD disk.
was it asking for the location where Lr will store the data files?
It depends on what you mean by "data files". As I said, Lightroom does NOT store your photo files. Your photo files are stored on a hard disk somewhere that you choose. So you were not being asked where to store the photos. You were being asked where the catalog should reside. -
Ipod touch trying to get wireless with dsl verizon
does anyone know how to get password or what password i would use to input into my ipod touch to access my dsl wireless router from verizon
Hey ronac75 on the router label there should be a WEP Key on your wireless router which is what you would as the password you have to enter it as exactly as seen on the router for Windows PC and OS 10 for MACs.

Trying to Get Started With Windows 8.1
I'm not a troll, I'm just a crotchety, oldster trying to figure out how to get Windows 8.1 to fit my workflow. I've been using Windows 7 for the last bunch of years, so I'm a bit late to the Windows 8 party, but I'm building a new PC and figured I'd
move to 8.1 instead of continuing with 7...
I liked the XP interface - extremely easy to find the application I wanted because things were hierarchical. Windows 7 was more bothersome, but I got used to it. So far, after 3 days, I'm still struggling with Windows 8.1, so I figure I'll get some
guidance here...
I did a rummage, but didn't find much on how I should change my workflow to make it easier in 8.1. In Windows 7 I had a desktop with icons for less frequently used applications, a taskbar with frequently used applications pinned, and a start menu (3rd
party) with EVERYTHING organized hierarchically so it was easy to find what I need. I'm trying to use 8.1 without adding a bunch of 3rd party stuff to make it look more like older interfaces that were organized differently.
In Windows 8, I appear to have the equivalent of THREE desktops, all different, none with any hierarchical organization.
I'm not seeing the advantage of the Start screen... Are the boxes, of whatever size, just the equivalent of icons or do they do something better? And I only appear to be able to organize horizontally, which means I'm limited to six named groups.
On the Apps screen, I already have a large number of my apps, despite deleting a bunch of the "modern" things. They exceed the width of the 24" monitor I'm using for setup. There doesn't seem to be any hierarchy there, either.
So, for example, for Office I have at least 12 icons/apps/whatevers. Including the ones I CARE about, like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook that I use regularly. AND a bunch of OTHER stuff I VERY rarely use like Clip Organizer, and Groove,
and Uploader, and so on. But, I can't take them off the screen if I ever want to get at them, right? 'Cause there's no start menu any more...
I also have a lot of stuff for handling e-books - Calibre, a Kindle Reader, OverDrive, Adobe Digital Additionsl, a Nook Reader, a couple 3M cloud things, and so on. On the Apps page they're all OVER the place instead of being grouped together (which at
least the Office stuff is). And there doesn't appear to be a way to have them be together and hierarchical so I can quickly find Calibre or ADE quickly, and only have to see the Kindle reader or Nook reader when I want them... So how do folks organize
their screens so they don't have to wade through hundreds of things you only need once a year to get to the ones you use a couple times a month or once a week?
I also have a bunch of stuff that's just a single application, like Syncback, but instead of just being "Syncback", there' ANOTHER line that tells me who the creator is - I don't care that 2BrightSparks made it, I just want to be able to find it when
I need it - once in a while.
The desktop is as it's always been, but I don't want 2 or 300 icons on there for a bunch of stuff I rarely use. The constantly used stuff will be pinned to the taskbar, and the less frequently can be icons, but where do I do to organize all the
other stuff?
So, in my ignorance - is there a way to have 8.1 support MY workflow, or if not, how do other people organize things to make it as easy as possible to find what you need without having to wade through a ton of stuff you don't? And have it all fit on the
screen.
I found the Name Group thing for the Start screen, but I can only group applications aross the screen? Which limits me to 6 groups. How do I configure that screen so I can have multiple groups in a column?
And the Apps screen. How do I organize things hierarchically so I can have the Office stuff I care about visible, with the rest not clogging up space but available for drilling down?
I currently have the system boot to the desktop, which is most like Windows 7, but without a start menu to group things, I'd need a lot of icons for the applications I use, and a lot MORE for the stuff I rarely use. Cumbersome.
How are other people organizing in 8.1?I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".

Trying to get started with iPad
I received an iPad for Christmas. However, I have an iMac 17" flat screen PowerPC G4 running Mac OSX 10.4.11 with iTune 8. (Yes I know I am a little behind the curve but it all as worked for me until now.) On the iPad box it says I need OS 10.5.8 and at least iTunes 9.1. I am covered for the iTunes as I have a copy of iTune 9. My problem is finding OS 10.5. I did a little research yesterday and found 10.5.4 for $200 which I think is quite high since I want to recall the original release for 10.5 was only $129, and the upgrades are usually free from Apple. Also there is no guarantee that I'll get a PowerPC version. I ran into that with some other older Apple software I ordered from a third party. Any suggestions on were to turn to get a copy of 10.5 for a PowerPC G4?
Thanks for your help.
RetiredmacWell, I was curious about 10.5 and googled it. Seems the "going" price for a new box is $199, but I did find a link to Amazon where it was on sale for $162. I would recommend doing an extensive search for Mac OS X 10.5 and see what prices you might find. But it seems that, unless you are buying used, the price will be much higher than $129.

Getting Started with FCE - Problems with my imported files
Hi,
I'm trying to get started with Final Cut Express, but I'm experiencing lots of problems when I import my project from iMovie.
My project contains video, which I imported into iMovie at 960 x 540. It also contains some keynote animations, which I exported from Keynote as quicktime files.
When I export my files to FCE, I instantly get problems.
1) When I add the imported file to the sequence, I get an "Attention the clip does not match the sequence's setting or any of your sequence settings" error.
2) Whether I choose to translate my settings or not, I try to play the video in the timeline, but there is a continuous beeping sound, no audio from my video and when it hits the keynote animations, it just says "unrendered" or "media offline".
Please can you offer any advice on how I can get started with FCE more successfully.
Thanks!Hi(Bonjour)!
(please specify iMovie and FCE version)
Well, your sequence settings in FCE should be DV-PAL 48 Khz.
Create a new sequence.
From iMovie and Keynote, export your movie with quicktime conversion andd select DV-PAL 48 kHz (*And Not* DV Stream...). This material should play without rendering because his format and codec match the sequence's codec.
Import your files and everything should be OK.
Michel Boissonneault
The audio should be AIFF 48 kHz 16 bit linear PCM -
Problems getting started with LabVIEW FPGA
Two (probably) related questions:
1. I am trying to get started with LabVIEW FPGA, and I am having trouble using a host VI to test my FPGA VI. I started with a basic QAM modulator VI, to be run on the FPGA, and I have reached the point where I need to verify the logic and timing with this VI running on the development computer with simulated IO. I have tried various combinations of putting the code inside single-cycle timed loops vs not; putting the modulator block directly into the host VI, and using the "FPGA reference" block. When neither the host VI nor the modulator VI use a single-cycle timed loop, I see correct behavior. In every other case, the output of the VI is either absent or incorrect. I need to use a single-cycle timed loop in the FPGA VI to properly verify timing behavior (as far as I know), so the one functioning case is not enough for me.
I'm sure there is a key step I'm missing or misunderstanding, but I have not been able to figure it out myself yet. I've attached my modulator diagram as well as two different attempts at host VIs. I can share other information, but I'm not sure what is most relevant.
2. I am also trying to test a simple wrapper VI for the Xilinx FFT block, and I am having trouble accessing FIFOs inside the host VI. I thought this would be relatively straightforward, but when I tried to change the "method" on an "invoke method" block, there were no options for accessing FIFOs, as I understood there should be. This is a total roadblock for me. These two diagrams are also attached, the test diagram shows the options available to me for the "invoke method" block.
Labview 2013, PXIe-7965R, PXIe-8133 controller.
I had to combine the diagram images; in case they are hard to follow this way, see the individual images here: http://imgur.com/a/oB6OD .
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you are having problems reading from DMA FIFO's you should test them using a very simple code to understand their behavior. First, you could start taking a look to the linked documents:
Reading DMA FIFOs from Host VIs (FPGA Interface)
Using DMA FIFO to Develop High-Speed Data Acquisition Applications for Reconfigurable I/O Devices
FIFO.Read (Invoke Method)
Then you could test and analyze a simple example to understand how it works, for example this one: Simple DMA FIFO Example for FPGA.
Check the references when you are using DMA FIFO's, I noticed you did not connect them in the second picture attached.

Getting Started with Wireless: Wireless configuration on 877W router - STUC
Just letting you know that I've already posted an identical post under "Getting Started with Wireless" but don't feel that I'm getting any attention so I made another post. Thank you.
Hi all
I have a Cisco 877W router running IOS v 12.4(15)T3. Have been trying to configure wireless to run WPA-PSK and is stuck at the final stage. Spent a lot of time configuring the router using CLI but ended up using the Web GUI interface. I was able to configure the wireless settings (I think) but failed when connecting to the router from WinXP-SP2 and was wondering if you have any suggestion for me. I've ran the following debugs on the router:
VNRouter#sho debug
DHCP server event debugging is on.
dot11:
802.1X module WPA/WPA-PSK/CCKM key management debugging is on
dot11 Syslog debugging is on
Below is the error message when connecting wirelessly
*Mar 4 18:46:25.655: *** Not encrypted dot1x packet from 001b.771a.dbad has been discarded

I've created two VLANs (and tied these two vlans to 2 separate SSID) on this router for a reason and so far has not been able to connect to any of them (SSID). I've also attached the config so you can have a look. Thanks in advance for your help.The configuration looks fine. In most cases, the connectivity issues with WPA-PSK is due to the mismatch in PSK on the Client and the AP. Try re-entering the PSK key on both the router and the client and check if you are seeing any issues.

I played with Flex 2 beta 3 a while back, then got pulled off
into other things, and am now back to looking at Flex again and
thought I would go through the getting started lessons (on
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00000138 .html).
I got to the second page and immediately got stuck.
Step 1 reads: "In a text editor, open the
data-management-config.xml file located in the WEB_INF/flex
directory of the samples web application. "
OK, where is this WEB_INF/flex directory located? And what is
the "samples web application" that is being referred to?
I THINK I found the right file, but in step 2 it says:
"Directly above the text <destination id="contact">, make
sure the following destination definition exists. "
The quoted text does not exist in the file, but the
definition it further explains to add already does exist.
So move on to the next page and it says to "...create an MXML
(text) file that contains the following text and save it as
lesson1.mxml in the DSLessons directory of the samples web
application." There's that samples web application reference again
- where IS that?
Oh, well THEN it has a link to a "Before you Begin" section -
maybe there are some answers in there! I click on that (why isn't
it in the index on the left?) and it takes me to a page suggesting
I do a few things. One of the things it says is, "Create a
DSLessons directory that is a subdirectory of the samples directory
of the samples web application. "
OK, well, dammit, now I'm frustrated! WHERE AND WHAT IS THE
SAMPLES DIRECTORY OF THE SAMPLES WEB APPLICATION?!
Is it wrong of me to assume that a "Getting Started with Flex
2" document would provide some foundational information that is not
based on assumptions of prior knowledge of the inner workings of
the very product I'm trying to get started with? This isn't even my
first time playing with Flex! In fact, I was hoping to find some
good step-by-step introductory material that would help some of my
coworkers learn a bit about it.
Where can I find some?OK, apparently the primary source of my confusion here is
that some link I clicked on (I thought from a readme file, but I
can't find it again) took me to the aforementioned page in the
livedocs and did not display any corresponding topic open in the
left column, so I assumed I was on the first page of the getting
started section (especially since I was actively looking for a
getting started section when I wound up here). I have discovered a
more usable thread in the livedocs and am now a happier
camper. -

Just trying to get started with iPhoto. Trying to tag (non-GPS) photos with place information.
Whatever I do, I get a screen with a yellow sticky that says
"To get started with Places

I know it's trying to be helpful but it's failing!and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. They are of iPhoto '09 but the concepts are the same - just some commands are in different places
