Height of screen

I'm considering buying a new Core Duo iMac, but I have a question -- all the "works" seem to be at the bottom of the screen, so that the height of the screen may be too high for me (at least from what I can see in the photos). It's difficult at best for us to see actual Macs in real life; it's not like in the US.
Could somebody who has one tell me . . . how far from the table top is it to the bottom of the screen? to the middle of the screen?
I know it's a weird question, but it would help me make a difficult, and expensive, decision.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Thanks a lot! That definitely answers my question. I think, given my chair, I can handle it without doing more damage to my neck . I do wish the engineers had planned it differently, though, with the "works" on the top or side or something, so you could adjust the screen up and down like the original iMacs . . .
I was planning to get a laptop and use it as a CPU, but now I'm hearing all sorts of things about not using it that way, so my next choice is the iMac. Definitely going to get the kids the mini when all the kinks are worked out though. They are so excited that they'll be able to use Garage Band!
Thanks again!

27" iMac Height of Screen?

Can this be reduced at all. Looking at purchasing one but I am short about 2 cms from where I want to put it. Is the stand adjustable for example?

The stand isn't adjustable in that way. However, on the 27" iMac you can purchase the Apple VESA adaptor and then use any VESA mount.http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC434ZM/A

A text crawl plug-in with darkened background that can be placed anywhere on screen?

Can you recommend a text crawl plug-in for FCPX that will allow me to place crawling text at any height on-screen, while having a darkened, translucent band behind the text? The best would be if the edges of the translucent band could be soft-focus. Thank you! Duncan

BenB,
Thanks a million for putting me in touch with FCP.co's site. I found an excellent crawl from Alex at Alex4D. When I had trouble loading it into FCPX, he sent a number of helpful emails with suggestions that eventually got it up and running. So thanks again!

Custom Script to Play Project in Full Screen

Hi,
Adobe tech support sent me here to request a custom script to
make a Captivate 3 project play in a full screen mode without
getting the extra page on which the user is prompted to click on a
link to open in full screen.
Could someone please send me the script with instructions?
Thanks!
- Eric

Hi Eric
In addition to what Rick has posted, I found the below very
helpful in a similar situation. It was submitted by jbradley88, so
all credit goes that way:
Full screen in the browser is only available by opening a new
window (hence the "Full Screen" link) or by embedding a custom
ActiveX control.
I'd rule out the ActiveX option, since it's both technically
challenging (I saw it done once, but don't know how) and would only
work for Internet Explorer anyhow.
That leaves the new window approach. A redirect is not an
option... the "full screen" can only be applied while a window is
first opening and even then only when the window is opened by
Javascript.
The best you could hope for is to open a page that
immediately opens another page in full screen, adding some verbiage
to the first page that says something like "The content has opened
in a new window. It is safe to close this window".
A sample "autolauncher" page is included below as an example.
It does not make use of the window.open() method's "fullscreen"
parameter since in IE6 that does not seem to give the user a way of
closing the new window once it's open. You can easily change this
by setting the parameter to yes in the code below.
Attach Code
<html>
<head>
<title>New Window Launcher</title>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var o =
window.open("yourcontent.htm","newContentWin","fullscreen=no,left=0,top=0,width="
+ (window.screen.availWidth - 12) + ",height=" +
(window.screen.availHeight - 36) +
",channelmode=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,titlebar= yes,toolbar=no");
if (o)
window.document.write("The content has opened in a new
window. It is safe to close this window.");
o.focus();
else
window.document.write('Could not open the content in a new
window. Please disable all popup blockers and try again.');
</script>

Displaying text on screen while connecting not working

Hi all,
I'm building a game to be played over Bluetooth. While the connection is made, I want to display a text message to the user stating the connection is made. Everything seems to work allright, but the messge is not shown. What goes wrong?
Some code. I have a MyMIDlet, that creates MyGame. The MyGame object is responsible for creating the connection. MyGame implements Runnable
public class MyGame implements Runnable {
     // Some code omitted
     public void run() {
          createSplashScreen();
                 // More code omitted
     private void createSplashScreen() {
System.out.println ("myGame.createSplashScreen, informing players on connection process");
          String[] message;
          if (isServer) {
               message = new String[5];
               message[0] = "Waiting";
               message[1] = "on an";
               message[2] = "Opponent";
               message[3] = "to Join";
               message[4] = "the Game";
          else {
               message = new String[3];
               message[0] = "Searching";
               message[1] = "for a Game";
               message[2] = "to Join";
          // Create the canvas and set it to the current display
System.out.println ("myGame.createSplashScreen, creating SplashScreen");
          mySplashScreen = new MySplashScreen(message, FONT);
          mySplashScreen.addCommand(myMIDlet.getExitCommand());
          mySplashScreen.setCommandListener(myMIDlet.getCommandListener() );
          myMIDlet.setCanvas(mySplashScreen);
          mySplashScreen.repaint();
     }The previous code creates a MySplashScreen object:
public class BluePongSplashScreen extends Canvas {
         // Code omitted
     public MySplashScreen (String [] theMessage, Font theFont) {
          messageLength = theMessage.length;
          message = new String [messageLength];
          System.arraycopy(theMessage, 0, message, 0, messageLength);
          font = theFont;
          // Get dimensions screen
          width = getWidth();
          height = getHeight();
          // Start displaying message at first position
          messageIndex = messageLength - 1;
    public void showNotify() {
System.out.println ("mySplashScreen.showNotify, creating new mytTask");
         mytTask = new MyTimerTask(this);
        new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(mytTask, 1500, 1000);
     public void paint (Graphics graphics){
System.out.println ("mySplashScreen.paint, repainting message screen");
          int textX = width/2;
          int textY = height;
          // Clear screen
          graphics.setColor(COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE);
          graphics.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
          // Set font color
          graphics.setColor(COLOR_WHITE);
          // Write message word by word on the screen
          messageIndex = messageIndex % messageLength;
          for (int i = 0; i <= messageIndex; i++) {
System.out.println ("mySplashScreen.paint, message[" + i + "]=" + message);
               graphics.drawString(message[i], textX, textY,
                         Graphics.TOP | Graphics.HCENTER);
               textY += font.getHeight();
And then the last code of the problem, the MyTimeTask object:
public class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask {
      * The canvas repainted periodically
     private MySplashScreen mysScreen;
      * Constructs the timer task
      * @param theScreen the canvas to be repainted
     public MyTimerTask (MySplashScreen theScreen) {
          mysScreen = theScreen;
      * Task that repaints the splash screen
     public void run () {
System.out.println ("mytTask.run, increasing message index");
          mysScreen.increaseMessageIndex();
          mysScreen.repaint();
}Here is some logging I copied from the text box of the WTK25 window:
myMIDlet.commandAction: Thread myGame ended.
myGame.createSplashScreen, informing players on connection process
myGame.run: isGameCompleted=false
mySplashScreen.showNotify, creating new mytTask
mySplashScreen.paint, repainting message screen
mySplashScreen.paint, message[0]=Waiting
mySplashScreen.paint, message[1]=on an
mySplashScreen.paint, message[2]=Opponent
mySplashScreen.paint, message[3]=to Join
mySplashScreen.paint, message[4]=the Game
mytTask.run, increasing message index
mySplashScreen.increaseMessageIndex, index=5
mySplashScreen.paint, repainting message screen
mySplashScreen.paint, message[0]=Waiting
mytTask.run, increasing message index
mySplashScreen.increaseMessageIndex, index=1
mySplashScreen.paint, repainting message screen
mySplashScreen.paint, message[0]=Waiting
mySplashScreen.paint, message[1]=on an
mytTask.run, increasing message indexSo clearly, the objects are created, and doing (almost) all their work, except displaying the text on the screen.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

A Reset should help.
If youre on nano 6th gen:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.

Probabally old question, but why can't I get Full Screen?

Hi, I have the latest Quicktime, upgraded to Quicktime Pro...installed and registered but still no full screen. At Best I can few 3/4 screen. What do I need to do to fix? My old Windows Media was a true full screen....Is Apples? Thanks, Bill

As they say in the movies, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Or, in this case, a simple problem of semantics. If you are asking if there is a QT Player setting that will "automatically" scale both height and width of your movie to the size of your monitor screen, then the answer is "no, not unless the aspect ratio of both your screen and your movie happen to be exactly the same." What you do have is:
1) Full Screen - display of movie without contol planel centered to monitor screen with non-display areas (if any) rendered as a user selectable solid color. Default size of movie area can be set using the "Prefeence" option to Half, Actual, Double, Full Screen (i.e., scaled), and Current.
2) Presentation - display of movie in "Full Screen" mode with the option to temporariy modify the default display size.
3) Half Size - movie displayed in control panel at one half the "normal" size.
4) Actual Size - movie displayed in control panel at "normal" size.
5) Double Size - movie displayed in control panel at twice the "normal" size.
6) Fit to Screen - movie displayed in control panel with height of control panel scaled to height of screen less menu bar or width of control panel scaled to width of screen depending on which dimension requires the lesser amount of scaling.
What you don't have is a "Zoom" mode in which the lesser relative dimension is scaled the the associated screen dimension with excess display area "cropped" from screen. However, if you are not a "purist" you can always "simulate" either the "zoom" option or a true "fill" screen option. To do this, simply
a) open the "Show Movie Properties" window
b) set the video track display setting shorter relative dimension to the associated monitor display dimension with "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option selected to simulate a "cropped/zoom" screen display or
c) set the height and width of the video track display setting to exactly match you monitor display setting with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option deselected to simulate a "fill" screen display
If you wish to preserve your movie settting for quick and easy viewing at a later time, then add the following steps:
d) select the main movie track
e) set the "Automatically Play" option under the "Presentation" tab to auto play the movie when opened
f) set the "Enter full screen" option under the "Presentation" tab to hide the menu bar when playing
g) save the movie as a reference movie in the same drive location and do not delete or move the orginal file
Now you can view the "fill" or "zoom" version of your movie whenever you wish by simply double-clicking the reference movie icon. Hope that helps.

IPod Touch 16GB 1st Generation - touch screen area stopped working

Hello there, the last 2 days I'm experiencing a problem with my 16GB 1st Generation iPod Touch. One cm under the top of the touch screen and for about 10mm height, the screen is not functioning. I noticed this when I was on the AppStore and tried to buy an app. Exactly at the "Buy" button and on full width the multitouch screen doesn't work at all (touch/scroll/zoom etc.). I use OS 3.0 and I've installed it from my PC with the latest iTunes. I use the latest OS since it's release day and only yesterday the problem appeared.
The iPod is protected with silicon case since day 1, also has a screen protector and it's never dropped, scratched or anything that could cause this problem. I believe the problem/bug/dysfunction it's software related, even tho, I've restored the iPod erasing all it's data to the factory settings with the last OS, the problem remains.
Do you suggest me to downgrade back in version 2.0 and see what happens? Do I have to to downgrade to version 1.0? Please advise cause here in Greece the service doesn't exist as in the rest European countries and as in the rest of the world who has official Applestores.
I use both Mac and PC with my iPod Touch, so you can suggest solutions for both platforms. (Leopard/Vista)
I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible, thanks in advance and please advise me as an experienced user
The iPod Touch is bought from US and brought here in Greece on January 2008. It's the iPod with the January Update in case you're wondering.
Thanks for your time,
Vangelis Makridakis.

Seems that the problem isn't software related.
I've downgraded to 2.2.1 from 3.0 and nothing happen.
I can't buy apps from AppStore, I can't join a WiFi network and much more...
Apple made *faulty digitizers* (touch screens) cause as I've searched on the internet, many others have the same problem. Since it's out of warranty, Apple is covered... BUT customers should know that even if they don't drop their device or if they protect them, no matter what, one day they won't be able to touch some random areas of their screens.
As a customer _I demand answer_ and also a replacement program for faulty digitizers since will be confirmed that the customer never dropped or scratched the faulty device.
Also, since in Greece (where I live) we don't have Apple official representation as the rest of the European countries, I probably will have to pay A LOT to Rainbow S.A for a digitizer replacement and also to wait about a MONTH to get my device back.
Thank you Apple for making perfect products with the chance becoming lemons instead of apples.
Vangelis.

Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. Withe AppleXare+ it is $29 They do not fix yours.

InterVideo WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close.

My TV Anywhere has suddenly stopoed working and the message "InterVideo WinDVR Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." appears each time I try to open the program. MSI Radio works fine. I have uninstalled and re-installed the programe (originally MSIPVS now MSIPVS3). I did try to download the new Beta drivers just to try, but the zip file shows 0 bytes!
Has anyone come across this, or can anyone suggest what I can try to resolve the issue?
Many thanks in anticipation

How to use the Rectangle class to draw an image and center it in a JPanel

I sent an earlier post on how to center an image in a JPanel using the Rectangle class. I was asked to send an executable code which will show the malfunction. The code below is an executable code and a small part of a very big project. To simplifiy things, it is just a JFrame and a JPanel with an open dialog. Once executed the JFrame and the FileDialog will open. You can then navigate to a .gif or a .jpg picture and open it. What I want is for the picture to be centered in the middle of the JPanel and not the upper left corner. It is also important to stress that, I am usinig the Rectangle class to draw the Image. The region of interest is where the rectangle is created. In the constructor of the CenterRect class, I initialize the Rectangle class. Then I use paintComponent in the CenterRect class to draw the Image. The other classes are just support classes. The MyImage class is an extended image class which also has a draw() method. Any assistance in getting the Rectangle to show at the center of the JPanel without affecting the size and shape of the image will be greatly appreciated.
I have divided the code into three parts. They are all supposed to be on one file in order to execute.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class CenterRect extends JPanel {
    public static Rectangle srcRect;

        this.imp = imp;
        int width = imp.getWidth();
        int height = imp.getHeight();
        ImagePanel.init();

MAKING TWO REQUESTS FROM A JSP AND HANDLING TWO RESPONSE ????????

Hi,
I have a requirement like below.
When a user clicks on download_pdf link on a web page, he should get the pdf data from the server where at the same time he should be shown with a processing window. Say the time taking for hitting the server and getting the response is 10 sec, the processing window should be shown for 10 sec and immediately it has to close.
My approach :
From JSP having download_pdf link :: while onClick I am calling an action which is nothing but a servlet call which will take care of getting the pdf data from the server and shown pdf save,cancel window. Other part is onClick I added a javascript function call which will open a seperate window (nothing but a jsp ) showing the processing icon.
The problem here is, I can not close the window immediately after we get the response from the servlet.
As we can not have direct communication between two responses(servlet reponse and processing window jsp) I am not able to close the window.
My trials to close the processing window JSP :
I tried to write a javascript in the processing window jsp which will be closed after 10 sec using setTimeout() funtion. But here the problem is the window will be closed after 10 sec where even if servlet call response takes 20 sec.
Please suggest me if I need to do any design change ?
Can I use any context attributes to come out of this ?
What would be the best design for this ?
Thanks and Regards,
V.Narayana.

Thanks for the idea.. I am trying to implement that.. Can you please let me know how Can I make a repetitive ajax call ??
If anyone interested in code, I am pasting all the sample files I prepared for..

Export to Excel from PL/SQL Procedure

Hello,
I am creating a report using PL/SQL and html code. Once the report is display, I click on "Export to Excel" button. it should open the new window with Excel. The window opens in Excel, but no data. I have following code
as the first statement in the procedure.
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE);
and this is the script
<script language="JavaScript">
var param_list
l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_app_main_id=' || p_app_main_id;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_from_date=' || p_from_date ;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_to_date=' || p_to_date ;
htp.prn('
param_list = ''');
htp.prn( l_param_list);
htp.prn('''
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
var win = null;
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings = ''height=''+h+'',width=''+w+'',top=''+TopPosition+'',left=''+LeftPosition+'',scrollbars=''+scroll+'',resizable''
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
win.focus();
function ExportToExcel() {
var wndname = ''ExpCodeMoveRep'';
var wndw = screen.width-10;
var wndh = screen.height-10;
var wattr = ''scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=yes'';
var wndurl = ''pm_codemove_report?p_output=E'';
wndurl = wndurl + param_list;
     NewWindow(wndurl,wndname,wndw,wndh,wattr);
</script>
My submit is
htp.prn('
<p align="center">
<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Close" class="button" OnClick="window.close();">
<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Export To Excel" class="button" OnClick="ExportToExcel();">');
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
I have the same code in another schema and it is working fine. Both schema are on the same server. Do they have any set up on appserver in DAD file to be able to see the data in Excel?
Thanks
Yagna

Thank you for your answer dccase!
I decided to go with on demand process. I have trouble with calling procedure from (button URL - javascript:popupURL('#OWNER#.exportXML')) pop window which cause "Forbidden, The requested operation is not allowed" error. I read that this is because I'm using XE edition and there is no HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER role in XE.
Now, I use on demand process and button URL link:
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=PLSQL_Export_XML:NO::')
It is working. Now I have to find solution to automatically close popup window :-)
Thanks!

Trying to bypass pop-up blockers on a flash site

Trying to bypass pop-up blockers on a flash site. Nothing
malicious, just going from a Flash interface to html so I can write
to a cookie. If I try to load the page in the same window, then
when you go back to the flash you are starting from the beginning
which makes it rather cumbersome. I was hoping to just load a
pop-up to avoid this.
Within the index.html page I have a javascript page loaded.
In the .js file I have
function Popupport_checkout(){
myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width-430)/2:100;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-380)/2 :100;
settings='top=' + mytop + ',left=' + myleft +
',width=430,height=380,location=no,directories=no,
menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,res
izable=yes,fullscreen=no'
PopupWin=window.open('cart_checkout.htm','PopupWin ',
settings);
PopupWin.focus();}
If I have a button within flash with a --
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Popupport_checkout()");}
--script it works fine.
But if I have a text field set to html and load in the
variable --
&BUYLINK=<a
href="javascript:Popupport_checkout()">PLACE ORDER</a>
--if you click on PLACE ORDER it doesn't work.
ANy help would be appreciated.

Go to your browser preferences and select the appropriate setting. This is for Safari:
Ciao.

After upgrading form FF 5 - FF 6, javascript don't work

I have a site, using the next javascript:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JAVASCRIPT' TYPE='TEXT/JAVASCRIPT'>

</script></nowiki></pre>
<br />
and I used the next to call the javascript:
<pre><nowiki><a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a></nowiki></pre>
<br />
Prior FF6 it worked as charm, but with FF, it doesn't work anymore.
Anyone, idea ?
BTW - Javascript is enabled in FF.

The Problem is with <a href> in FF6 version.
Replace
<a target="_blank" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>
With
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>
OR
<a target="_self" href="javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Enter Case Number: %22;%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22http://mysite.com/mysupport/index.jsf?CASE_NUMBER=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}">View Case</a>
