Help!!! Newbie here!

Alright. I have CS3 and am 'trying' to get used to it. I am trying to do a vintage effect and of course this takes many steps. One of the steps (almost one of the lasts) is to go to Filter>Distort>Lens Correction AND then from there, use the Vignette Slider, etc...
Well, Under MY Filter, there is NO distort, there was in my CS2, so I dunno what the deal is. I used the Help Search and it found the distort under the Edit>Transform>Distort. BUT, the distort is greyed out! I have tried everything. It IS in 8 bit, I've even tried 16 bit... NOT working. The only time distort even comes up is if I go to another 'blank' layer... and of course, I can't do anything with it! :(
so, what do i need to do to get the distort working... it's there, but it's greyed out. Please help. And I don't know if this will give my email or not, please feel free to email me also with your help! :D thanks!

I know you're new here, and I'd like to welcome you to this forum. However, please understand that (in addition to the previous posts here), a generic "HELP!!!" subject line won't bring you responses: Folks scanning the topics have no idea what the problem is, and even if they may have an answer, they may not bother to click on the generic topic, read it and post.
As a Forum Host, I can change your topic subject line to be more useful and drive more traffic to it, if you wish. Please post back how you'd like to change it.

Cant connect to database please help newbie here

I am very new to oracle and have just installed oracle database 10g express beta. The problem is when I log into the homepage nothing happens. It just goes back to the log in screen again. I have tried using the wrong password and it gives me a error message. I have also gone through SQL and it says i'm connected.But I can't get the icons to come up after logging in. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Oracle.
Similar problems to yours have been reported on the forum.
The first seemed to be being caused by ZoneAlalrm - see Database home page will not load whilst ZoneAlarm Pro is running
The second seemed to occur if the user was connected to their corporate network via VPN - see Database Home page / VPN's
Let us know if either of these helped

Help newbie here please

im new in authorware and I would like to know to to save your authorware in a final .exe file wherein you can now view it in screen mode. will that be possible?
Thanks in advance!

There is no quick way to describe this, so Johann's suggestion will give you the fullest answer.
Quick answer: When you publish, select "With Runtime", then use the files that Authorware places into the Published files/Local folder.
Note that there is no native "full screen" function in Authorware, as published files do not scale the way Flash and Director do. The full screen option in Authorware will fill the screen with a background colour, then place Authorware in the top left of the screen.
You can use Cover.u32 (should be on your Authorware CD) to fill the screen with Black, and place the Authorware window in the center of the screen. Do not check the "full screen" option

Hi newb here , Can anyone help with Port Forwardin...

Hi guys
Newb here on Broadband Option 3 .
New to the world of BTorrents ( hope thats not a dirty word ) and just need some help on Port Forwarding with the Curved Blue Voyager ( latest one I think )
Problem is I can't seem to upload anything back and obviously I dont just wanna leech all the time lol
Thanks in advance
H

First of welcome to BT Community Forums, although your in the help with speed/connection issues section and bit-torrent is nothing to do with BT but i'll still try to help.
downloading a torrent file is one thing but just because you download does'nt mean you need to upload anything if for example your downloading something with say 100 seeders and 15 leechers then you may find that you dont upload anything or very little, thats nothing to worry about at all.
Or
If you've made a torrent and cant figure out why its not uploading it may be due to the fact you need to upload the small torrent file to a p2p site in order for others to see it.
Hope this small insight into the world of torrents helps, but i dont know what else to tell you on this subject.
Kindest Regards

Hi Macadam_ace,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do they have their show on the internet? The iTunes Help document says,
"If you know the Internet address (URL) of an MP3 streaming broadcast, you can connect to it using iTunes.
Choose Advanced > Open Stream.
Enter the full URL of the file you want to listen to. For example, http://www.apple.com/itunes/sample.mp3."
I hope that helps,
Jon

Can I use one hard drive for two computers? Newbie here.

Newbie here.
I currently use Time Machine for my iMac (Intel)
I've been using my Macbook Pro (Intel) a lot lately and would like to back it up from time to time as well.
Can I simply attach the external hard drive to my Macbook Pro and set up Time Machine?
Can use the external hard drive for both machines?
Will Time Machine recognized that my Macbook Pro is a separate computer and set up a separate folder on the external hard drive automatically?
Thanks

Hi,
you can use the drive for as many Macs as you like, just make sure it's big enough. Time Machine will create separate folders for your Macs and will "know" which one you're using.

[multithread] newbie here ... is inputStream shared?

Hi, a newbie here. I've been playing with java for six month now and it's been pretty fun. Looking forward to learn more about java from this forum. Now I have a question about this little project I've been doing.
I'm currently developing a multi-threaded client-server application (both client and server are multi-threaded). The idea is very easy which is to create threads that send http request to one server which will send back XML to the
corresponding thread.
I've managed to make it work. My application can now make http request and get the XML it's looking for. However, problem occurs when I try this scenario:
1. Client Thread 1 http request> server -> creates server thread 1
I made Server Thread 1 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 1 has to wait for the response.
Then, while Server Thread 1 is still on sleep, I make another http request:
2. Client Thread 2 http request> server -> creates server thread 2
I again Server Thread 2 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 2 has to wait for the response.
Now, Server Thread 1 wakes up and returns the XML response message. Now the funny thing is the Client Thread that accepts this response is not Client Thread 1, but Client Thread 2:
3. Server Thread 1 wakes up -- XML response --> Client Thread 2 reads the response instead of Client Thread 1.
What could be the problem!? What's also weird to me is that, if I try to do this scenario using a browser (by executing http request), the problem doesn't happen. Client Thread 1 returns to Server Thread 1 and Client Thread 2 returns to Server Thread 2.
The code I wrote consist of a thread objects which has it's own private UrlConnection, InputStream, OutputStream, etc.
This is a snippet of my code:
public class Process {
// this is how I create my threads
public void execute(DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
HttpProcess httpRequestor;
try
httpRequestor = new HttpProcess(datasource,ad);
httpRequestor.start();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
public class HttpProcess extends Thread {
private URL url;
private HttpURLConnection urlConn;
private DataSource ds;
private ADData adData;
private BufferedReader d;
private BufferedWriter t;
private InputStream in;
private OutputStream out;
private DataInputStream din;
private DataOutputStream dout;
public HttpProcess (DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
this.ds = datasource;
this.adData = ad;
// this is how I implement my run method
public void run ()
try
String urlmsg = "http://localhost:9050" +
"/?field1=" + adData.getField1()+
"&field2=" + adData.getField2()+
"&field3="+ adData.getField3();
System.out.print("Sending URL message : " + urlmsg);
url = new URL(urlmsg);
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
out = new BufferedOutputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getOutputStream());
dout = new DataOutputStream(out);
t = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(dout));
t.flush();
while(listening)
in = new BufferedInputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getInputStream());
din = new DataInputStream(in);
d = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(din));
String inputStr;
if ((inputStr = d.readLine())!=null)
din.close();
XMLParser xmlparser = new
XMLParser(ds,adData,ajData);
listening = false;
d.close();
I thought I had it right by having private inputStream for each thread. but the behavior looks like the inputStream is shared by the two threads. However, I'm still new with java so I know my conclusion worth zero. Has anybody ever bumped into this kind of problem? Looking forward to hear back what you guys think. I'm just really really really curious about this problem
Thanks so much.

Please use code tags ([code] and [/code]). It's also quite possible the problem is in your server code, or your test jig, etc. You should post a small example that replicates your problem.
Also, the while(listening) loop looks really screwy. I'm not sure what's going on there (why would you wrap your input stream inside a loop, especially since you close the input stream in the loop)?
