Help needed: guy popping out of a cardboard box

Hi,
I'm a photographer and I need to create an image of a guy sitting at his desk in a miniature room inside a carboard box. The two images, the inside of the box and the box itself, must be photographic images, no 3D computer graphics. Can anybody suggest me books or tutorials explaining those techniques like when in holliwood miniatures are shot to create explosions. I think I'm able to blend the images in PS, the problem is find a way to calculate camera position, focal length, etc. The light setup is very complex and I can't afford trial and error method. Thank you in advance.
Sebastiano

OK ... I tried again and it seemed to work OK this time. So I'll mark this question solved.

Help with Toolbar Pop-out

When I make a selection in the toolbar the pop-out shows up in the middle of the document instead of right next to the toolbar. Is there a setting to change that?

Without system information and other details nobody can help you. We don't even know what version you use. Well, whatever. It would be best to ask in the ID forum and provide the necessary info.

Help: Monitor has "popped" out of the neck slightly, now crooked

Hi all,
I recently shipped my iMac G4 17"inch with no problem in terms of functionality. The internal components are fine and new pixels were slain in transit. However, the neck must have had some serious stress on it, because the neck has detached slightly from the back of the flat panel display. It has "popped out" on one side, making it crooked, tilting to the right slightly. (In other words, the silver circle that connects the neck to the flat panel is raised on one side and is no longer flush to the monitor, making it uneven and tilting the monitor in front). I tried applying some pressure, laying it flat on the screen and forcing it back into place, but I had no luck at all. Any suggestions? Is there anyway to detach the two and put it back together?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Although there are manuals available explaining how to disconnect the neck from the dome (please email me with your processor speed if you want a link) I don't think it will get you very far. The neck does not extend in to the iMac's dome base hardly at all so you won't get any leverage. I'd simply suggest wedging one side of the dome up to make the display level and put it down to experience. ;-(

Help needed to figure out a strange thing

I am running GJ and Java 1.4 on window 2k and I have been spending hours trying to figure out what's wrong with the following codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The code is simplified (doesn't use any util class at all), but it still throws runtime exception:
C:\test>java D
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: E.test()LE;
at C.test(C.java:1)
at D.main(D.java:17)
The strange thing is that, when I change the name of class E to B, it runs fine. It seems that classes B and C have to be ordered. For example, using name C1 and C2 will be fine, but using C2 and C1 throws exception. It's getting late and I am tired.
public interface A {
public A test();
public abstract class E implements A {
public abstract E test();
public abstract class C extends E {
public C() {}
// the main class
import java.io.*;
public class D extends C {
public D() {
super();
public D test() {
System.out.println("D called");
return new D();
public static void main(String[] agrs) {
A obj = new D();
obj.test();

Its a bug. The compiler neglected to generate a required bridge method.
I have reported 4821489 for this problem.

Help needed to sort out the FCP numbers minefield - older G5

Hi people-who-can-help
I am incredibly new to Mac computers and I have to say my experience up to yet has been anything but fun! It has been a time of confusion, great expense and constantly incorrect advice. So I do hope someone within these discussion groups can help me not throw this old G5 out of the window!!
This G5 arrived with OS 10.3 Panther loaded (including installation discs). I wanted to buy and learn to use Final Cut Pro and knew that only an older version would be suitable for this G5. I upgraded the RAM too so it now has the maximum it can handle. Not being hugely wealthy, I tried to find a copy of FCP 3 as I was told that was absolutely the latest version my G5 could handle, even with my 'new' OS 10.4 Tiger that I bought and successfully loaded.
I could not easily find an old FCP 3 for some time, them managed to buy one, but although I had asked if all serial numbers etc were present and told that they were, it has been impossible to load. The CD must be in the drive which is not a problem - as this is an Academic version there are several discs with it, so I assume it was used in a school ICT suite. The fact that I wouldn't be able to upgrade was not a problem as I simply wanted to learn the software and maybe buy a more up to date Mac and software later when funds permitted.
So I have this G5, two OS versions, a copy of FCP 3 Academic which I cannot load and people advising that I should buy Final Cut Suite as then I could use the FCP 6 and everything would be fine. One man even told me that it was clear to him that I had bought not FCP 3 but FCS 3!!
Please help. What version of Final Cut Pro can I run on this machine (PPC processors, NOT Intel) with the OS that I have? Or shall I simply launch the Mac through the window with me following after it?!

Hi Dave, & welcome to the forums!
It looks like FCP5 will work...
Macintosh computer with 500MHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 processor or any dual G4 or G5 processors, 512MB of RAM, and AGP Quartz Extreme graphics card; HD editing requires a 1GHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 and 1GB of RAM
Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
QuickTime 7 or later
DVD drive for installation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23208?viewlocale=en_US
Free trial???
http://www.bestshareware.net/finalcutpro-mac.htm
Yet I bet there's some real pros over in the FCP forum that could be of better help...
Hmmm, they've changed a bunch, not sure now where would be best...

Help needed on POP accounts

Mail crashed the Mac (Kernel Panic) and I restarted. Mail then said it was damaged and to quit. I did. I relaunched and mail rebuilt the messages. But it left all 9 of my POP accounts out. I see no way to add them back except the tedious process of re-entering each one.
Dual G5/2ghz machine, 10.5.1.
Can anyone tell me how to get Mail to recognize the previous account setup?

Can you go to homefolder/library/mail, and in that mail folder, what do you see? a folder for each of your pop accounts by any chance?
Do you have time machine on by any chance? If so then you could search just before the crash and locate the homefolder/library/preferences and looking for the file com.apple.mail.plist, and copying that file to your homefolder/library/preferences on your mac.
else you may have to manually re-enter each account
hope this helps

Help needed to find out BADI's for Transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS"

Hi folks,
I was told to use BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" and code in the Method "CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT" within it. After coding and executing my Transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS" it does'nt stop at the method (inspite of keeping a breakpoint).
So, after suggestions from some of you folks i tried the below 2 methods to find out the relavant BADI's
1) First way, putting a breakpoint at "CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface" via SE24 and found only one BADI in exit_name which is "HRPAD_SUBTY_CHECK".
2) Other way i checked the Package of suggested BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" , which i found as "PAOC_ECM_ADM_BL". ANd when i go to SE80, for this package when i check the Enhancements section->Classic BADIs. i found about 15 BADI's ..Is this the right way to check for a BADI ? If not, how to know the relavant BADI's for my transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS"
Awaiting for response. Thanks!

Hi,
1. The BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" does exist in this transaction, did you activate the implementation after writing the code? The method is called in the FM HR_ECM_CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT. You can try executing with breakpoint at the FM HR_ECM_CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT.
2. You can try using the program in the code gallery to find user exit/Badi. Link: [Badi/exit finder|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ToFindoutUserexitsandBAdI%27s%28New+format%29].
3. In case you are working on ECC 6.0 the first point ( "CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface" ) mentioned by you might now return all the BADIS, as SAP has introduced a new method by which BADIS are invoked. You can try searching for Kernel Badi in SAP Help.

Sai

Help needed on listing out all tag names using XML Rules in ExtendScript(InDesign)

Given a document with elements already in place, I am looking for a snippet of code to walk down the XML tree only two levels
deep to printout the names of each of the tags (not attributes). I am just using javascript in extendscipt to accomplish this. Ultimately,
I want to provide this list in a checkbox dialog and use those checked items to develop a TOC. This latter part, I have in place.
It is just the pushing of the tag element names into an array that seems to be cumbersome for me at this point.
Any shortcut snippets out there that someone can provide?
A shorter version of this request....Is there anyway to just list out all element.markupTag.name of an XML tree, not knowing the xpath naming?
Using "//*" obviously is not working....

well..
Document.xmlTags.everyItem().name will get you a array of all the xml tags in the document. Maby that will help you?
another way, and you can use it recursively:
myObject.xmlElements.everyItem().markupTag.name
will get you an array of tag names. use something like: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15806501 to remove duplicates.. and.. enjoy

Help needed to figure out URL and username for the LDAP server

Given that LDAP directory parameters as follows, how can i identify the exact parameters to be used in my LDAP service access Java code. Im using JNDI to access a LDAP server given by an Ip address (say, 10.1.1.20) and the port number (say, 389)
Given: -D "cn=mycn,ou=mystaff,o=myorg,dc=test,dc=my,dc=org" -w secret
Heres my sample Java code

Note: Actually i tried several times, bt i was getting "Invalid Credentials" exception.. i doubt that is because the URL or the user name i gave was not syntactically correct. Thats y i need to verify with you all.
Thanks in advance

New-BE help needed for audio out

No matter what I try I can't seem to get audio to come out of FCE... The VU meter in the program shows there is signal present but no matter what I try (changing audio out in system prefs..) I hear no audio. I have a Digidesign 002 rack (I'm moving into video in a ProTools based audio studio) which is firewire. I use an ADVC-100 to import my video from various sources also firewire. If I switch to line out (in sys prefs) still nothing. I've had the program for 5 weeks and I cant use it.
BTW I exported a lesson (Apple Pro Training Tutorial) and it played back in Quick time and the audio was fine.
I'm at a loss.... and I'm starting to feel stoopid.....
Dave
FCE is the ONLY program that doesn't output the audio.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Try this. From within FCE, select View>Video Out>Canvas Playback.

HT201210 Help needed re wiped out contacts, messages etc on my iPhone 3GS

Whilst updating software in iTunes I got an error message which instructed me to restore software. The message said all content would be wiped but that I could get this back later. Can you please tell me how to do this. I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried looking at the support pages but cannot find the answer.

I was able to get photos to show up on the camera roll that look like they are missing. Here's how (taken from another thread.)
1- Download Iphone Explorer (does not need to be a jailbroken device) http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
2.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
3.) launch iphone explorer
4.) backup and then delete the following files:
     /Media/PhotoData/MISC/Info.plist
     /Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite (or /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite)
     /Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite (or /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite)
5.) reboot your iphone
After you reboot your device, windows will prompt if you wan to open your iphone on windows explorer as usual. After you open it, your photos are going to be there, just like it was before update.

Lost Serial, Help needed to work out what my one was!

I upgraded from Logic 7 to Logic 8, and it all worked fine.
I have recently installed the 8.02 update, but have since lost the serial. I still have the logic 7 dongle, but I cannot find the Logic 8 serial in my cupboard anywhere! Is there any way of getting the upgrade serial back?! At the moment, I can't use the logic that I legitimately paid for!!
Thanks,
Charlie.

Help needed to sort out icon settings

Hello!
The other day I ran an ordinary update and now I noticed that a the appearance and a few icons for some programs has changed (Minitube, PCManFM, Kupfer). The thing that bothers me now is that one icon in Kupfer either looks ugly or is missing and that I don't know how to change it. Ever since I installed this system (running Compiz standalone) the themes / icon settings have been left intact.
Kupfer is supposed to look like this (notice the gear icons next to "Launch"):
http://pplware.sapo.pt/wp-content/uploa … kupfer.png
But now the "Launch" icon looks like this:
http://i.imgur.com/bXZoltR.png
Oh, and one more thing: apparently the package gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic were reported as not being used by any program, so I removed those, which didn't seem to make any difference (neither did reinstalling those packages).
What (in any recent update) caused this change to the icons? How can I change or revert it? Thanks for any hints!
EDIT:
Edited img tags.
MOD EDIT:
Reset img to url tags. You had it right the first time. Trilby

I also changed an environmental variable to DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome" (even though running Compiz standalone) a while ago, because the Minitube documentation said to do this in case toolbar icons in Minitube aren't showing, and changing that environmental variable changed the look of some elements in my setup (for instance, the scroll bars in applications are now looking differently). However, the Kupfer icons were still correct at that point even after changing this.

How to create a pop out window?

Can any buddy help me?
I need a Pop Out window, that is 630Pixels X 430 Pixels...For a Flash Poll sistem
I have search in google, for tutorials but it is just not working....
What I being looking for, is to add like a link to a Text, and a pop out window appearing, to put a poll
Any advice...thanks
This is the code I being using
</object>
</noscript><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popitup(url) {
    newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=430,width=630');
    if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
    return false;
and for the Text link
<p><span class="style12"><a href="encuesta.html" onclick="return popitup('encuesta.html')"
    >CLICK AQUI ENCUESTA</a>

But is the function "popitup()" actually defined somewhere? if there is no complementary script code in the head or an external JS file, naturally it won't work. And by all means, one can find a million alternate pop-up code generating tools...
