Help With Choosing The Technology

Hello,
I need help in choosing the appropriate technology for the application that I'm going to be creating.
The characteristics of the system that have been decided until now:
Standalone app built on either Flex/Flash/AIR
Restricted to using the system on a single computer, hence can be a tightly coupled system
The server component of the system needs to be closed source and robust, for which im thinking something like a Java backend,etc,etc.
In a completely new environment, all that i need to be able to do is install just the AIR application and not worry about installing extra stuff for the server support.
Thanks In Advance for anyone who can help me out with this.

If you are saying you want the server component to be on the same machine as the Flex app, then your choices are severely limited due to the sandbox, unless of course you are using AIR, then you can just use the SQLite database.
But if there will be a sevrer component on another machine on the web, you could use BlazeDS, and like I said, its free and very robust.

Help with choosing the right specifications for a Macbook Pro Retina?

Opinions needed....
So I'm new to Macs, but I know what I want to achieve and I feel this is the right route to choose. I'm looking at delving into the world of music production, using Logic pro 9 and garageband, but I also enjoy watching High definition Movies and televison so I know that the Retina display is definatley the right choice for me. However, I'm unsure on the amount of RAM & Which processer I should choose. I have read a fair bit on forums and online about the new retina macbooks being 'locked' from upgrading, so the 16GB of RAM is an immediate choice for logetivity.
The choice of processor is when I start to become clouded in my choice. As forementioned, I'm looking at running logic pro, as well as high def movies. There is also a possibilty at looking into photo and video editing, Whether that be in final cut pro or photoshop... But I want to leave my options open.
I think the choice of 16GB of RAM, 2.6Ghz processor, with a 256GB hard drive ( as i have 1.5TB external space) would be a good choice. Once I've added on applecare that comes out at around £2350, Which is a significant investment, but one that I think will help me immensely for the future. I am interested in other peoples opinions on my possible choice because, as I said before, I'm new to the world of Macs and making the right choice is essential. As a side note, the choice of upgrades also ensures a reasonable resale value, which is a bonus.
Regards

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

Making a website to help with choosing the colour of a bike - please help me :D

Hello I am trying to make a website where you can take
conponents of a bike and change their colour
there are about 17 conponents that I want to be able to
change the colour of e.g. frame colour and seat colour.
and I want to have 10 - 20 colours
the number of combinations would be huge, so to have that
many pictures, with a link to each is probs not the best solution
by far.
I was planning on having a more interaction site, where when
a colour or conponent is selected, it changes in front of you - any
ideas how I could do this?
prehaps a simple solution would be to have a range of
buttons, that when selected display a different coloured conponent
- how do I make a button that when pressed reveals say a coloured
box and doesnt dissapear when the mouse is moved away from the
button - is this the hit feature? if so how do I make it work!?
Any help would be fantastic
Simon

Simon :
The best way you can do it, is firs, to prepare several
colors of the same bike : you achieve this changing the
Hue/Saturation properties in photoshop, so you are going to create,
as an example, 7 different colors (the main colors) you have in
stock.
Then you create independent Movieclips for each one, this
won't load too much your memory since you can make independent
SWF's which are going to be called on pressing the "color button"
using the "LoadMovie" actionscript property. Remember, when you
create the button, you just create small squares orange, blue, red,
yellow, green, etc etc.. so when you click on them, the color they
show is the color that will call the bike.
You have a good example here on using LoadMovie, there are
even more googling around :
http://www.cristalab.com/tutoriales/152/galeria-de-imagenes-en-flash-con-loadmovie.html
P.D.: There is another way, to try to apply colors with
Actionscript, but forget about it, because since the bike pictures
have shadows and shiny parts, this "filling color" way is not going
to fit well. I justed wanted to mention this, I wouldn't try this
way...

Help with choosing the right hardware

Hello,
I would like to know what hardware sollutions from NI are best suited for my Master's degree project, which is a motorized crane for a video camera (basically a robotic arm with 5 axes). What I need is something to control my 5 motors (DC/stepper) - both in position and velocity and also need some Digital inputs available for different sensors. In my previous project, I have succesfully built a motorized slider for camera (only 3 axes - 2 rcservo for pan/tilt and a DC motor for translation which was controlled in position) and I used Arduino development board to control it, encountering difficulties for controlling my entire system. In this upgraded version of the crane, I thought that NI hardware are more reliable, and I want to find something to match my application requirements. I just need something to control my motors using Labview, as I will make my own drivers for them (also something affordable for a student as the motion control modules are way out my bugdet).
On the other hand, I would also like to control my system from a smartphone and I was wondering why Labview has implemented applications for Android and Apple, but not Windows Phone? Are there policy issues or just not yet implemented? If not, I would gladly develop an application for WindowsPhone8, as it would help me remotly control my crane.
Thank you in advance,

Hello Catalin,
There are a few options that are available for this application, I'll start with the simplest hardware with the most difficult software and then progress from there.
The simplest implementation that I can think of would be a high channel count digital I/O device, where you power a custom H-Bridge or similar motor driving circuit. Based on a 6 or 4 pole stepper motor this would translate to 20-30 digital channels. Something as small as a NI USB-6504 (24-ch, 8.5mA) would work with very low performance. This implementation would only have software timed digital output with a significant amount of jitter and variability, as well as the 8.5mA max current drive per channel which would require extremely high input impedance on the drive circuit.
The next step up in implementation would be a digital I/O device with Hardware timing such as a NI PCIe-6321 or a NI PCIe-6323. These cards will allow a buffered digital output which will significantly reduce jitter and increase the performance of this control.
Both of the above methods would require you to program the motion control for the stepper motors, and would also require an external drive for providing the power to the stepper. This could be something as simple as a custom built H-Bridge, a simple stepper motor driver such as this one available from sparkfun.com: Big Easy Driver.
The next option would be using the motion modules such as a NI 9501 or a system built by following the NI Stepper Motion System Selection Guide. This would be the most complicated hardware, however this would enable you to use the National Instruments SoftMotion Module for programming instead of writing all the code from scratch.
In regards to the implementation for LabVIEW implementation for Windows Phone, I am unsure of whether this will or will not be implemented. Please feel free to post your ideas on implementation on the NI Idea Exchange, and thanks for the feedback!
Cheers,

Thank you for your advise but how can I get very good quality on DVD then.
as long as your project is <60min, iDVD will create best quality technically possible (=using the highest bit-rate, 9MBit/s) standards allow .
it is not a prob of the tool, but the standards. your source is 1920x1080, a DVD can contain only 720x480 ..
if you want 'higher' delivery-quality, consider BluRay (hmmm?) or a MediaPlayer (AppleTV, WD TV, PS3, .. )

Please help with choosing the right text component

Hello,
In my applet, I need a single-line text component with the following capabilities:
1: Support for bold font (entire text,not just part of it)
2: Support for underlined text (entire text,not just part of it)
3: Support for blinking text
4: Ability to put caret anywhere within the text field with mouse
5: Support for field validation
6: Ability to handle various key events and modify the text and/or move around caret position accordingly.
Now, I know there are at least 4 different text components: JTextField, JTextArea, JEditorPane, JTextPane. Which one of these is most suitable for the above features? Is it possible to use JTextField to support all of the above?

Here is a link to the Java Swing tutorial which discusses the text components.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/text.html
I think you need to use a JEditorPane or a JTextPane (although I'm not sure any of the components support blinking text). A demo program shows some of the capabilities of these components:

Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).

I have rolled out bunch of updates across few hundred workstation systems.
Few of the desktops have failed to install SOME of the updates and just can't get my head around as to why?
Looking at one of the workstations, I can see 5 updates are pending download at 0%.
Some of these fail after a while and with in Software Centre, I can see 'Help with updates - The software change returned error code 0x87D00215(-2016411115).'. Not exactly sure what this means, but I have tried clearing the cache and
rebooting the workstations few times.
(I have also tried to use Windows Update and install one of these manually, which worked.)

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Help with installing the original Photoshop on a new computer from the disc

I have a new computer. I want to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 1.0.1. I have the disc and serial number (1057-45428-2285-0248-2785-2727) but when I start installing, I get an error - Internet Explorer 4.0 required. I don't have that program and I want to use Mozilla or Chrome as my internet server. How do I avoid this problem? I am happy with what the original program does and don't want an upgrade. Please reply to [email protected]

wow that's an old program windows98 days
so it will be oober slow, GIMP and a few others are free compared to that one
that said, there are a few things you can try with old software. not sure about yours but goes in general for older stuff
run it in compatability mode.. This is where you right click on the exe file go to properties and choose the older os to so it can pretend to be it
another option, as I am not familiar with that older version, it is a little weird why it want ie, maybe it used it to log onto the net, to say hi, not even sure they did it back then, or maybe it used the browser as a webpage to show help, depending on where that code is, perhaps you are running it from the beginning setup of the cd. If you went into the disc itself into the program only part and bypass it. again just a guess
and the last suggestion, install VMware. this will allow you to install windows98 as a virtual os then you may be able to install it into that.
after saying all this bear in mind all the hardware you have now, that software has no idea even existed.
