Help! Newbie has a stupid question on file specs

I was given a file that seems to be a native Final cut file. I am using final cut for the first time and just need to find out what this particular file already has for:
Aspect Ratio:
Resolution:
Video Format:
Audio: Stereo:
FPS:
I'm wondering where I can look in the program to get these answers.
I know that I'll then need to convert this file to the specs that are needed and am hoping this is fairly straight forward.
Any info is appreciated! This is a sudden need and it looks like I'll be learning the program in the future, I just don't have time at the moment and am afraid I might be looking in the wrong place in the program for the answers.
Thanks!

A project file or a movie file? How do you know it's from FCP? As per Jerry but you could also open into QT and look at most of the properties.

**** newbies and their stupid questions!....

Sorry for the slightly aggressive topic title but I thought (hoped) it might get my questions noticed.
I'm the newbie....I've been using ARD for a while to simply connect my main computer in my home office to my older G4 elsewhere in my house over my hard wired LAN. It works great.
Now I would like to take it a step further. I would like to be able to control my home computer from work and my work computer from home over the internet. I have looked at the manual but cannot find any info pertaining specifically to this.
Can anyone out there suggest a source for info regarding this subject?
My computer at home is on a Comcast (cable) broadband network and my computer at work is on a AT&T (DSL) broadband network and is connected via a Airport Base Station. Neither accounts have dedicated IP addresses, do I need at least one of the accounts to have a dedicated IP address for this to work?
Many thanks for any help that can be offered.
Sean Beresford

The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm
It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.

Help with probably a stupid question...

I'm using CS3 and I'm applying a feathered edge to a photo using the refine edges command. The only thing I can't for the life of me figure out, is how to get the now white border to be transparent, so that when it's placed into my InDesign document (overlayed onto another photo) the underlaying photo isn't blocked by the white box. Sorry for the probably very basic use question, but any help would be appreciated...
~ Vince

Make the background layer a normal layer (rename it) and delete the white part that you want to be transparent.
Edit: You need to save it as a .PSD

Newbie has RMAN restore questions

I am new to Oracle and RMAN. We had a failure on a Windows Server running Oracle 9.2. I copied the backed up datafiles from RMAN to a recovery system. The production system is running again. I need to restore the old data on the recovery system, which is a clean installation of Windows Server and Oracle 9.2.
How do I get RMAN to see the backup set files that I copied over from our production system?
I tried this using the name of one of the backed up files:
CATALOG DATFILECOPY 'C:\BACKUP\ZEUS\DF0_ZEUS-2965_715266526';This returned "ORA-19563: datafile copy header validation failed for file C:\BACKUP\ZEUS\DF0_ZEUS-2965_715266526."
I think the problem is the one described at http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14192/maint007.htm:
If you try to catalog a datafile copy from a database other than the connected target database,
then RMAN issues an error such as the following:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of catalog command on default channel at 08/29/2001 14:44:34
ORA-19563: datafile copy header validation failed for file /tmp/tools01.dbfI tried SET DBID so that the DBID is the same as the production database, but my results are unchanged.
Edited by: user12961563 on Apr 15, 2010 10:27 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have tried "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;" and the procedure "Performing Disaster Recovery" documented here: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10734/rcmrecov.htm. I run into these problems:
Not mounted: The RESTORE command fails with ORA-01507: Database not mounted.
Mounted: RMAN-06189: Current DBID does not match target mounted database.
So I run "SET DBID" to make the DBID the same as the source database, just like it says in step 3 of "Performing Disaster Recovery". The RESTORE command then searches some files and gives RMAN-06172: No autobackup found or specified handle is not a valide copy or piece.
The backed up files are in F:\Backup, and I have these settings:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\BACKUP\cf_%F';
The only thing I can think of is that RMAN is not looking in F:\BACKUP. Is there something else going on? I've read through scores of pages of docs, but can't find and leads.

Stupid question re: file deletion

I am trying to make some room on my hard disk, and when I go to add/remove programs (windows xp) I have 6 entries for "Ipod for Windows" with a couple of different icons.
All are dated: 2005-9-23, 2005-10-12, 2005-11-17, 2006-1-10, 2006-3-23. The 9-23 and 11-17 have a little screen w/cd icon, and the others have an ipod icon.
Can I delete all but the most recent? Are they doing anything besides taking up a lot of space?
Thanks!

Yes you can delete them, they are old iPod software updaters. The iPod Updater is integrated with iTunes 7 now so these are redundant. It's probably a good idea just to hang on to the last one in case you ever need it however is still available from Apple downloads.

Former Employee Obtained access to Administrator Account somehow and has been messing with roles, files ect... Just a question...

Ok, so about six months ago, my company let go of their Systems Administrator because she was causing many problems in the workplace... Yesterday morning i logged onto the server and found several files open with her name on them, including her confidentiality
agreement, and Employment offer letter, as well as the confidential folder that holds all employees personal identity information (she remote into the Server about 10 Minutes before i logged in, thus kicking her off not allowing her to close what she was opening/copying.
I attempted to check the logs to see what IP she was connecting with but was only able to find the following:
She remoted into the server about through Remote Desktop about 20 times on the 27th of May 2014, (horrible weather and she was probably logging in in a McDonald's Wifi and it kept kicking her off).
I took the day off because my area was flooded and couldnt make it to work.
She logged on, on the 28th of May, 2014 about 16 times before i logged on kicking her off, leaving everything she was doing open for me to see.
Everytime i remote into the server from my house or the office i get the following...

As you can see no IP address is shown unlike everyone other PC that remotes into the server... She has been using our server as her personal file host for her real estate business, she was fired last year for sabotaging AutoCad drawings her ex boyfriend
was working on (they are back together and was the one she set up with full access to server) and she has been adding and modifying files in her group drive via the administrator account. She also disabled several roles we had installed, and gave her
boyfriend (who happens to work at the company) More administrator right than myself, as I built the server from ground up, and Only the Company owners had access to remote desktop, besides the administrator account... I want to make sure she didn't create
any hidden accounts that she can still log into.. I found under ADSI Edit Under Domain Controllers, Subscription Properties an account (servername$) which doesn't not show up in active directory, but had full access to everything... Is there a way to uncover
hidden Accounts she may have created to get into the server, as I've know from previous experiences, that $ sign normally refers to a hidden account or file of some sort.. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, The FBI is currently investigating
the situation, but i am trying to make sure all my basis are covered so this doesn't happen again... Thank you for taking the time to read my long ass thread, I will bestow upon you great fortune and Karma for any help given =-D

Hello,
the $ behind the machine name object is normal.
For security related questions please use
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserversecurity
Also I would immediately remove all people form any kind of administrative groups, MUST of course be agreed from the company owner, then change the administrator account password. If there is a need for the additional administrators the company chief
has to agree on this and there should also be made some clear rules, maybe from a lawyer about consequences etc. Remote access to the network should be blocked or made more secure with two factor authentication, tokens for example, just using Remote Desktop
at the moment I would not allow until the network is better secured and you can be sure there are no unknown administrative accounts.

Stupid Question Help needed....

Hi Folks...
I have a very Stupid Question....
but i think you Folks here can help me Quick...
Here is what i want to do...
01 class ourCar {
02
03 public String color;
04
05 public void PrintValue(String YourValue){
06      System.out.println(this.YourValue );
07
08      }
09 }
10
11 public class myApp {
12 public static void main (String[] args) {
13
14 ourCar Car1;
15 Car1 = new ourCar();
16
17 Car1.color = "red";
18 Car1.PrintValue("color");
19 }
20 }
So the Compiling Problem starts at 05 it seems i cant
get Parameter Names with Strings... so what i want to do is...
type
Car1.PrintValue("color");
and it should print out red
i Know i could write
System.out.println(car1.color);
But i want to do it the other way...
a other thing would be to make
myVar = "car1.color"
and then run
System.out.println(myVar);
but these is also not working...
any idears?
greetings from munich
peter

but where is the Thinking Error i have?
KJKrum wrote i should not use the language this way...
what would be the right way for doing a job like this?You have a very simple example. Reflection which is what both threads suggest as a solution is complex and should be used with caution because of the performance and maintenance problems that can arise.
So one has to wonder, for such a simple problem, does it not suggest that perhaps your design is not correct and if you took another look at it you could come up with a solution that is more appropriate and leads to code with is much simpler.
I believe that was the intent of the suggestion.
For example if you really must access 'attributes' via a key then have you considered that perhaps you don't have attributes but rather 'properties'. And if so there is already a Properties class. And if the Properties class is a little to constraining then the Hashtable might also fulfill what you are trying do. Keep in mind that these depend on whether the best design for your project really requires accessing values via a string.

Stupid Question but need help

Hey Guys
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but ive been wrecking my head now for about 2 hours on it, and cant find any help on the net.
Im looking to create an image to add to a j2me application. And basically it cant find the image.
The image is in my c:\images folder and its called pike.jpg, when i use the following the code it does not find the image
image = Image.createImage("C:/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:/\images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:\\images/pike.jpg");Yet when i place it in my working directory and use
image = Image.createImage("/pike.jpg");It works fine, basically how do i point to the directory c:\images\pike.jpg in java
Thanks

Thanks. Now that is clarified, I can see from the documentation:
The name parameter is a resource name as defined by Class.getResourceAsStream(name) . The rules for resolving resource names are defined in the Application Resource Files section of the java.lang package documentation.
So it's not a file name. The string you pass must be findable via the classpath.
So, if C:\images is included in your classpath (which you'll need to do for this example), then just use "/pike.jpg" and have that file live in the images directory only.

Stupid question, I know, but after years of using Firefox, on this one I can't find the Page Reload icon?? Please help.

In the past, when I want to refresh a page, I've simply gone to the page reload icon on the toolbar. On the new version, I can't fin the reload icon. Sorry I know this is a very stupid question,, but I just can't find that reload icon. The toolbar is a lot different from previous versions, but I'm sure tht pesky icon must be there somewhere!!

Hi merren,
Not a stupid question at all :) You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading].
You could also benefit from the looking at the article on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars customizing the tool bar]. That will show you not only how to verify that you have the refresh button, but give you options on where it lives as well.
Hopefully this helps!

My 16GB iPhone 4S has 4.40GB of "other" file. What does this include and how do I reduce it? Kindly help me.

My 16GB iPhone 4S has 4.40GB of "other" file. What does this include and how do I reduce it? Kindly help me.

Text messages, MMS messages, email, music catalog, operating system settings, safari cache, siri cache, Genius data (if enabled), game center data -- esentially everything on your phone that isn't explicitely listed in the bar chart at the bottom of iTunes on your computer.
Sometimes there is also data corruption on the phone that ends up in Other. To get rid if it try restoring the phone with iTunes. If that makes no difference the corruption is in your backup; restore again as a new phone, then add content back.

My Adobe Programme has taken over my Publisher Files~Help!

My adobe programme has suddenly taken over all of my Microsoft Office Publisher files; renamed them as PDFs, but wont allow me either to open them as PDFs (which I don't want anyway!) or allow me to convert them back to Publisher Files, which is how I want them!
I know I have obviously changed a setting somewhere, but I don't know how or where!
When I uninstalled Adobe I got all my Publisher files back but now, of course, cannot open my PDF files.
I reinstalled Adobe in the hope that it would sort itself out, but it has snatched all my publisher files again!
Help!
I really have no idea how to resolve this and would be very grateful if any experienced ADOBE person can advise me. Thanks.
Ken

Hi Claudio,
Thanks so much for responding.
My operating system is Windows 7.

Had me stumped for a while too ...
On the screen that presents all your "Blank" documents, simply touch the word "Blank" under the preview (not the actual preview) and you'll get a dialogue to name your document.

A really stupid question from newbie...

hello all,
i am very new to java and i am trying to build a j2ee application...
rite now....i need to let my app communicate w/ an outside program thru' XML..
i had just learnt many thing about java w/ xml and i decided to use the XMLEncoder... it seems quite simple to use...BUT i have no idea on how to send/receive these XML files...i had thought of using socket connection, but i just found out that an EJB wouldn't allow socket networking... i bet this must be quite a stupid question coz i found nowhere teaching me this...=P
if u know about this, pls point me to some relevant docs / sites....i am anxious to learn about it...
thx so much,
karloogunna~

hello maesj, rune, and others,
thx alot for your advice...
and here's the environment i am working in:
OS: w2k
JDK: 1.4.1.01
j2ee: 1.3.1
jboss: 3.0.2
i am using flash as my UI, so i need communication
between the j2ee app and flash.
the data transfer involves a number of arrays of
objects (each object w/ a list of attributes...) so, i
think using XML as data-exchange is quite suitable (am
i wrong on this??)I don't know the first thing about Flash, but using XML as a means for exchanging data seams like a good idea, for the scenario you described.
>
and i am reading about the message-driven beans, i see
that they got a function onMessage() from where i can
get the XML strings (?), but i don't know how i can
feed these strings into this JMS from flash...do i
need to write a small java program on the client
side?I haven't that much experience with Message Driven Beans. What I do know is that they employ the Java Messaging Service (JMS). If you write a small client appplication with JMS support... you might be close.
>
also, i am not sure if i can send out XML strings
through the message-driven beans, i am reading on the
JMS...it got the MessageProducer, MessageConsumer,
MessageListener, and MessageSelector....should i be
using this? or can i use this together with the
message-driven beans??
In a Messaging system you will need message producers, and message consumers. To enable two-way communication, you can setup both the EJB and the client to handle both. When a message arrives at the consumer (or subscriber if you like), the JMS Service invokes the onMessage method. So you should implement your logic in the onMessage method, for example inspect the XML content, and act upon its content.
i am very sorry for my disorganized questions...(i
used to do low-level programming =P)
and really thank you for your advice!!!!
No problem, the amount of information to read can be quite overwhelming. Using JMS is just a suggestion, and might be considered overkill for your application. If you're using an IDE, like Sun ONE, creating a message driven bean is easy, and can be tried out, without too much hours passing.
Kind Regards,
Rune Bj�rnstad.
