Help for Newbie setting up business

Hi! Total newbie here. Any help would be appreciated.
I use a Mac. I'm developing a web internet business. I'm planning to install and use Adobe Scene 7 for all it's features. In reading about Adobe Scene 7 it says it is 'hosted'. I am planning on using Earth Girl Hosting for my business and I was hoping that I could use Adobe Scene 7 while using Earth Girl hosting. Does anyone understand if I can do this and is it problematic if I do?
What exactly do they mean by Adobe Scene 7 is hosted? Does that mean they host your whole web site?
Later on I was planning to take a course at SMU that uses and teaches Dreamweaver. If I have Adobe Scene 7 installed and using it in my business, will I be able to use Dreamweaver too........will they interface okay?
Thanks so much for any help......... break it down for me on the newbie level if possible!

What exactly do they mean by Adobe Scene 7 is hosted? Does that mean they host your whole web site?
This means that the program that is used to develop the web site is operated from an Adobe server, the same server that will host the site.
Later on I was planning to take a course at SMU that uses and teaches Dreamweaver. If I have Adobe Scene 7 installed and using it in my business, will I be able to use Dreamweaver too........will they interface okay?
No, you will not be able to just use Dreamweaver to continue maintenance of the web site that is created by Scene 7. There may be small parts that are visible in the browser that you can use in Dreamweaver, but the dynamic parts will not be available.
If time is of essence, the low learning curve of Scene 7 will probably help you get on line quickly. After that, either maintain it using the same tools or forget about it and start producing real web sites with Dreamweaver or other compatible web authoring software.

Help for Newbie -- Premiere Elements 10

I'm completely new to video editing. I know this is supposed to be the easiest software, but I'm getting nowhere. Part of the problem is that the software doesn't seem to come with a manual -- in paper or pdf. The help button ships me out to various tutorials, etc., but they're all for version 11. I tried following the basic tutorial for organizing videos, and the buttons they wanted me to click just didn't exist. (such as for creating an "album." Maybe it's because of the different version or maybe it's because I'm supposed to already know how to set up the software so that I see the same things they're showing me in the tutorials.
Is there any book that truly takes you through everything from othe very beginning? Better yet, is there any service that would actually let me talk things out with an expert and perhaps let me log onto my computer so he can see what's on my screen and explain why it doesn't look like what's in the tutorial?
Thanks.

Trying to create install script in PackageMaker...help for newbie

Hello,
I am trying to deploy a solution as an install package. Currently, there are 3 items inside the folder that needs to be installed in the /Applications folder. This in itself is easy. However, when I create upgrades to the solution, I want to carry over one file from the previous installation to the new one. Is there a way to have this upgraded version install and instead of removing all of the earlier files, can it install the new files (which are 3) and carry over 1 of the other files.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input or sample scripts that I may be able to modify to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks for your time!
Perhaps it would help if I explain a little further my situation and what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a database runtime solution that I want to distribute. I have all of the necessary files in a single folder, let's say, named "Progam 1.2". Since whenever I upgrade this version, I need to have the old data file from the previous version on hand to import into the new file, I create a new folder called "Program 1.3" So after the installation, I would have both folders. The user then opens the new version and the program then will import the previous versions data. At that point the user may delete the previous version folder entirely.
My question is how can accomplish an install so that the new version will not overwrite the previous folder "Program 1.2" when installing the upgrade to "Program 1.3" since I need the data file for updating the data. Ideally, I would love to have the new folder installed and the single data file in the previous version folder be copied to the new versions folder and be renamed to "Previous Data" so that the new version can update the data.
Again, I am a complete newbie in this arena and have simply been doing DMG files where the user copies the new version to the applications folder. But if there was a way to automate this installation more, I would like to do that.
Thanks again for your help!
Stephen

Help for Newbie?

Hello,
I am a beginner to FCE. I have made a handful of DVDs from imovie but wanted to move up a notch and learn something new. I video for the coaches at our local high school and usually make a highlight video. Also this year I have a senior and have been asked to do the video of rememberance for the senior class. I look forward to this but feel so unsure of myself. Would anyone be interested in helping me learn to run the program and give me some new ideas for these projects? The football video I usually get done by basketball season and the senior video needs to be done by May. This may involve some phone conversations or web cam.
Thanks in advance.

The best idea and advice I have for you is Tom's book.

JavaScript help for newb

I have used JavaScript before, but not within Apex. I have several calculated fields that I need to be able to update after user input (I think the onChange() function will work just fine). I have browsed through over a dozen threads on using JavaScript, but I seem to be missing the one little piece that will make this all click.
All I need to do is some very basic form manipulation, ie field1 x field2 = field 3, etc. Can someone please point me at a very simple example that shows:
a) the JavaScript function code for referencing field values
b) where to put said code (I think it is HTML Header in Page Definition, but confirmation or correction would be appreciated.)
c) how to reference said code on a field. (where to put it in field definition)
In case you want to see what I am doing, I have posted the form :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=21392:10:426232455000914

Hi,
You could do something like:
function calc()
var field1 = document.getElementById("field1");
var field1value = parseFloat(field1.value);
if (isNaN(field1value)) {field1value = 0);
var field2 = document.getElementById("field2");
var field2value = parseFloat(field2.value);
if (isNaN(field2value)) {field2value = 0);
var field3 = dcoument.getElementById("field3");
field3.value = (Math.round(field1value * field2value*100)/100);
This will retrieve the text values for field1 and field2, convert them to floats (if the values cannot be converted, the if tests will set them to zero), multiply the two values, round them to 2 decimal places and put the result into field3.
Put this in a script tag anywhere on the page. I tend to put javascript functions in a separate region either in the "After Header" or "Before Footer" region position.
I would then use the onblur event on field1 and field2 to call the script. You can add this in the "HTML Form Element Attributes" setting for the field definitions:
onblur="calc()"
I couldn't get into your OTN site as you didn't specify the username/password to use!

Javascript help for newbie

Hi,
I have a 18x12 booklet form PDF (each PDF page consists of 2 9x12 images) that I need to split into single 9x12 pages.
Found 2 scripts on the net to split pages in Acrobat and the other one to reorder the split pages. (after splitting the pages one ends up with page 1, page 24, page 2, page 23, etc.) Need to reorder the pages and found the Reorder script below.
But it doesn't work in Acrobat 9 - I'm getting an illegal character error in line 20. (seems to be this line? nStart: i * 4 – 3).
I don't even get a menu item called Reorder Pages under Documents.
Help?
Script:
ReorderDocument = app.trustedFunction(function()
// create a new document
app.beginPriv();
var newDoc = app.newDoc();
app.endPriv();
// reorder pages in booklet order into new document in sequential order
var i = 0;
var n = this.numPages;
for (var i = 1; i <= n / 4; i++)
newDoc.insertPages( {
nPage: newDoc.numPages-1,
cPath: this.path,
nStart: i * 4 – 3,
nEnd: i * 4 – 2
newDoc.insertPages( {
nPage: newDoc.numPages – 1,
cPath: this.path,
nStart: n – 1
for (var i = 1; i 1)
newDoc.deletePages(0); // this gets rid of the page that was created with the newDoc call.
// add the menu item
app.addMenuItem({
cName: "reorderPagesJS", // this is the internal name used for this menu item
cUser: "Reorder Pages", // this is the label that is used to display the menu item
cParent: "Document", // this is the parent menu. The file menu would use "File"
cExec: "ReorderDocument()", // this is the JavaScript code to execute when this menu item is selected
cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);", // when should this menu item be active?

Hold on - just found another webpage with different code. This one seems to work now. Posting it here in case somebody else needs it: this script is to reshuffle pages are having split a booklet form PDF into separate pages:
ReorderDocument = app.trustedFunction(function()
// create a new document
app.beginPriv();
var newDoc = app.newDoc();
app.endPriv();

Obsolete help for newb

I have new to RMAN, about 30 minutes new. I have a system that is using RMAN is some fashion (still trying to fully determine), but right now I am getting errors because a file system is full:
Errors in file e:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\wqp2\bdump\wqp2_arc1_2992.trc:

I found a script that is supposed to run "delete obsolete" every night, but according to listing in Enterprise Manager all of the files listed under "image copies" are not listed as obsolete and are "available".
How do I make these files obsolete and do the subsequent deletion.
I did an RMAN> show all; to learn that the retention policy is set to a 10 day window. Almost all of the 600+ files listed are older than that.
Thanks for any pointers.

Hello,
First of all cross check the filesystem looks like one of the filesystem was full. Because of that reason your backup fails. Secondly you need to cross check whether the obosolete backups backups are delete on regular basis or not.
Try crosscheck backup and crosscheck archivelog and check for backups then check for obsolete backups and clean them up.

ThinReg Help for Newb

I'm sorry to be asking this since I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but I'm new to the thinapp world and need to get some clear direction on what I need to do to make the VM application successful. I have built my Package and have it ready, and I can open and run the file as a user if I run the package from the users home directory. I would like to place all Thin applications on a network share for the users to be able to access it. When I do this and create a link and drop it on the users desktop, it comes up with a Error "The system cannot find the file specified". I read about an application ThinReg that I need to run in order to get this to work, but have not been able to make any head way. I ran the Thinreg on the package and the screen blinks and comes back but nothing happens. I'm sorry to reach out, but I'm having a hard time with this an running out of time. The Application that I packaged is Adobe 9 and will need to some how get this to work from a Network share and some how with when called from IE on the local system. Any help would be great.
Thank you,
Wess

You have a lot of issues here, but this little piece might help you. Thinreg is ran to register the thinapp on the machine where it will be run. I found a blog post with a little thinreg info. You can also get more info by running the thinreg.exe with the /? switch.

I'm new the thinapp too. Maybe we can help each other figure out this product.

Conditional Help for Multiple Customers

In the company I work for we have a software product that is configurable for different customers. I have a master online help that contains ALL the components. When we are sending a particular iteration of the software to a customer with their specific set of components exposed, I have to generate a specific help for this set of components. I have all the different components conditionalised so that I can pick and choose the components needed for each customer. Development here are trying to automate the software build process and I am wondering if there is any way for our build process, via a script or something, to pick the conditionalised topics from the master help system so that we do not have to generate a new help for every customer? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks.

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

HELP ME GUYS WITH CREDIT ADVICE FOR NEWBIE

Thanks for reading! I just want to ask you guys, I'm looking to help my girlfriend open her first credit card. I have plenty with all of the creditors and I began with Capital One. I believe at that time I had my student loan reporting though. She has nothing on her report aside from a few inquiries (AT&T and a few store card HPs). She said some of her friends have been approved for a low CL Discover It card. I don't know if there is a Discover It offering for newbies or if they must just have something on their report. I recommended she get a Cap1 card. That way she can have her son on the card image and I know that since I've heard they triple pull they're pretty leanient. What do you guys think? Any advice on what secured card she should get should it come to that? Thanks very much again!

Do NOT cosign for your girlfriend. If you break up, your finances could get messy.
Have her apply for an It card, they love clean, thin files. If that fails, go for a secured Boa card or Cap One credit steps. Maybe make her an AU on an Amex of yours to build history (you can artificially set a limit to limit your liability).Amex is the one I called first about AU and then Citi. I almost did it with Citi because surprisingly the rep for Amex wasn't very helpful. Should I (she) even be concerned with inquiries when she literally has no score anyway? Do they really impact a score that doesn't exist or do they hurt a score once one becomes available. The whole thing is I was just concerned that we'd apply for stuff and she woulnd't get approved and that she'd have another senseless inquiry. As I said, she already has several.
