Help with switching to 0s x

I recently switched from os x to os 9. Now when i try to go to startup disk, it only shows 2 icons, 1 for Macintosh hd and one for Network disk. How do i switch

If there is a triangle to the left of the hard disk's name, click on it and see if the Mac OS X system appears; if not, download and use Startup Disk 9.21 if an older version is installed.

Help with Switch statements using Enums?

Hello, i need help with writing switch statements involving enums. Researched a lot but still cant find desired answer so going to ask here. Ok i'll cut story short.
Im writing a calculator program. The main problem is writing code for controlling the engine of calculator which sequences of sum actions.
I have enum class on itself. Atm i think thats ok. I have another class - the engine which does the work.
I planned to have a switch statement which takes in parameter of a string n. This string n is received from the user interface when users press a button say; "1 + 2 = " which each time n should be "1", "+", "2" and "=" respectively.
My algorithm would be as follows checking if its a operator(+) a case carry out adding etc.. each case producing its own task. ( I know i can do it with many simple if..else but that is bad programming technique hence im not going down that route) So here the problem arises - i cant get the switch to successfully complete its task... How about look at my code to understand it better.
I have posted below all the relevant code i got so far, not including the swing codes because they are not needed here...
ValidOperators v;
public Calculator_Engine(ValidOperators v){
          stack = new Stack(20);
          //The creation of the stack...
          this.v = v;
public void main_Engine(String n){
     ValidOperators v = ValidOperators.numbers;
                *vo = vo.valueOf(n);*
     switch(v){
     case Add: add(); break;
     case Sub: sub(); break;
     case Mul: Mul(); break;
     case Div: Div(); break;
     case Eq:sum = stack.sPop(); System.out.println("Sum= " + sum);
     default: double number = Integer.parseInt(n);
                   numberPressed(number);
                   break;
                  //default meaning its number so pass it to a method to do a job
public enum ValidOperators {
     Add("+"), Sub("-"), Mul("X"), Div("/"),
     Eq("="), Numbers("?"); }
     Notes*
It gives out error: "No enum const class ValidOperators.+" when i press button +.
It has nothing to do with listeners as it highlighted the error is coming from the line:switch(v){
I think i know where the problem is.. the line "vo = vo.valueOf(n);"
This line gets the string and store the enum as that value instead of Add, Sub etc... So how would i solve the problem?
But.. I dont know how to fix it. ANy help would be good
Need more info please ask!
Thanks in advance.

demo:
import java.util.*;
public class EnumExample {
    enum E {
        STAR("*"), HASH("#");
        private String symbol;
        private static Map<String, E> map = new HashMap<String, E>();
        static {
            put(STAR);
            put(HASH);
        public String getSymbol() {
            return symbol;
        private E(String symbol) {
            this.symbol = symbol;
        private static void put(E e) {
            map.put(e.getSymbol(), e);
        public static E parse(String symbol) {
            return map.get(symbol);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(E.valueOf("STAR")); //succeeds
        System.out.println(E.parse("*")); //succeeds
        System.out.println(E.parse("STAR")); //fails: null

Need help with switch/case

Thanks in advance.
I read the tut on switch statements. My assignment is asking me to do something that is not detailed in that explanation ;
I have a total of 5 case statements, 1-4 and a default statement. The instructions for them are as follows:
Case 1: If the user enters a 1, display a message that informs users they are correct, as any input canbe saved as a String. Enter the break statement.
Case 2: If the user enters a 2, parse the value into tryInt. Display as message that informs the users they are correct. Enter the break statement.
Case 3. If they user enters a 3, parse the value into tryDouble. Display a message tha t informs users they are correct. Enter the break statement.
Case 4: Set done equal to true. Enter code to display a closing message. Enter a break statement.
Case default: throw a new NumberFormatException.;
Here is the code
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;
public class MyType1
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //declaring variables
          String strChoice, strTryString, strTryInt, strTryDouble;
          int choice, tryInt;
          double tryDouble;
          boolean done = false;
          //loop while not done
          while (!done)
               try
                    choice = Integer.parseInt(strChoice);
                    switch(choice)
                         case 1:
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 2:
                              choice = Integer.parseInt(tryInt); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 3:
                              choice = Double.parseDouble(tryDouble);
                              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are correct!");
                              break;
                         case 4:
                              done = true; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Goodbye!");
                              break;
As usual Im doing something wrong. Please help.

Thanks for your input. The directions for the assignment tells me to first declare the variables.
Begin a while(!done) loop to repeat as long as teh user does not click the Cancel button.
Inside a try statement, enter code to display an input box with three choices.
Type choice = Integer.parseInt(strChoice); on the next line to parse the value for the choice entered by the user.
(HERE THE SWITCH STATEMENT WITH CAST STATEMENTS)
Close the switch statement with brackets
Create a catch statement.
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;

               catch (NumberFormat Exception e)
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please enter a 1, 2, 3 or 4:", "Error", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
          }Typing this now, I see I dont have anything in my try statement entering code to display an input box with three choices.
(PS. I know I would write a catch statement for the NumberFormatException, but why would I also write this exception in the case statement also??)

Help with switching from Z10 to 9900

I would be grateful for any help on how to make a smooth switch from the Z10 to the 9900. If there are any prior posts on this please direct me. I got the Z10 the day it came out in March but my company has refused to support the Z10 and I can't do without my work mail & calendar on my phone.

Help With Switch Statements

Alrighty, so I have to do this assignment for my Java course, using a switch statement. The assignment is to have the user enter a number (1-5), and have the corresponding line of a poem be displayed. So if the user entered 1, "One two, buckle your shoe" would be displayed. This is what I have and it's giving me a huge problem:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Poem
     public static void main(String[] args);
          Scanner kboard = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.println("Enter a number 1-5 (or 0 to quit).");
          int n = kboard.nextLine();
          switch (n);
               case 1: System.out.println("One two, buckle your shoe.");
               break;
               case 2: System.out.println("Three four, shut the door.");
               break;
               case 3: System.out.println("Five six, pick up sticks.");
               break;
               case 4: System.out.println("Seven eight, lay them straight.");
               break;
               case 5: System.out.println("Nine ten, a big fat hen.");
               break;
               default: System.out.println("Goodbye.");
               break;
}This is giving me a HUGE string of errors. (Something like 45). I'm wracking my brain here trying to figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well that solved a lot of the errors. Now all I get is this:
--------------------Configuration: <Default>--------------------
C:\JavaPrograms\Poem.java:8: <identifier> expected
System.out.println("Enter a number 1-5 (or 0 to quit).");
^

Help with Switch-Case Statement

How do you get this in a switch-case statement or work with it?
          if (age < 70) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are below the 70s are nothing special.");
          else if (age > 69 && age < 80) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 70s are called septuagenarian.");
          else if (age > 79 && age < 90) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 80s are called octogenarian.");
          else if (age > 89 && age < 100) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 90s are called nonagenarian.");
          else (age > 99 && age < 110) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "People that are in their 100s are called centenarian.");
               }Thanks~

As per Java Specification, swtich case expects an integer and boolean cannot be used as param for switch.
In your case switch can be used like this.
int index = age /10;
switch(index) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
Your First case
break;
case 7:
your second case
break;
case 8:
third case
break;
case 9:
fourth case
break;
default:
fifth case
break;
Take note of the break statements. Its very important. But I wont prefer in this case. Code looks awkward and is not so meaningful.....

Help with switching from NTSC to PAL

When I open iMovie, it doesn't give me the option to choose PAL. the only options I get are: DV, DV widescreen, HDV (1080i, 720p), MPEG-4 and iSight. When I choose DV it automatically goes to NTSC. My camera was purchased from Europe so when I import the videos to iMovie that's in NTSC I only get sound and no image.
Please help!

milwauken,
Welcome to the iMovie forum.

Need Help with switching from Desktop to Laptop for Iphone 4s.

I have an Iphone 4s and I was wondering if it is possible to go from a desktop to a laptop and be able to sync my phone and be able to save everything that I have on my iphone and be able to transfer it to my laptop, such as pics,texts,contacts, apps etc. I have already synced over my music from my desktop to my laptop via flashdrive, i have over 4,000 songs and im not looking to do something like that again. If anyone could get back to me and please let me know if there is a simple solution for this problem that would be great.Thank you.

You can import pictures from the camera roll to the laptop, you can also create a backup of the iPhone on the laptop, which will take your texts. You need to either sync your contacts to a supported application on the computer, or you can use iCloud. Apps are part of your iTunes. You would need to transfer the purchases on your Apple ID to the new laptop and iTunes. Remember to authorize the computer before you do this. Just remember, the first time you go to sync the phone to the new iTunes, it is going to tell you that the phone is connecting to a different library and that you would erase all the music, but since you have moved all of the music to the new laptop, that won't matter.

HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

Having problem with switch statement..please help

here my question :
GUI-based Pay Calculator
A company pays its employees as executives (who receive a fixed weekly salary) and hourly workers (who receive a fixed hourly salary for the first 40 hours they work in a week, and 1.5 times their hourly wage for overtime worked).
Each category of employee has its own paycode :
?     Paycode 1 for executives
?     Paycode 2 for hourly workers
Write a GUI-based application to compute the weekly pay for each employee. Use switch to compute each employee?s pay based on that employee?s paycode.
Use CardLayout layout manager to display appropriate GUI components. Obtain the employee name, employee paycode and other necessary facts from the user to calculate the employee?s pay based on the employee paycode:
?     For paycode 1, obtain the weekly salary.
?     For paycode 2, obtain the hourly salary and the number of hours worked.
You may obtain other information which you think is necessary from the user.
Use suitable classes for the GUI elements. (You can use javax.swing package or java.awt package for the GUI elements.)

HOW CAN I PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT INSIDE THIS CODE TO LET IT FULLY FUNCTIONAL..?
I MUST PERFORM THE SWITCH STATEMENT LIKE IN THE QUESTION..
PLEASE HELP ME..REALLY APPRECIATED...TQ

hi
A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types. So you can simply give the
switch (month) {
            case 1:
                        System.out.println("January");
                        break;
            case 2: {
                        System.out.println("February");
                         break;

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Help with Javascript/Calculations

Hello,
Have a building use policy for school.
Need help with checkboxes and default values. I can get javascript/math to work when I click check box.
Someone wants to rent a room they check the rentRoom checkbox. Then the enter how many rooms 1,2,3 etc.. The value for the rentRoom checkbox is $25.
I can get it when the checkbox for rentRoom is selected the rentRoom.Total computes correctly. However, what I want is when the form opens up a default value of $0.00 to be in there. I also want if someone goes back and unchecks the rentRoom checkbox the value goes back to $0.00 not just blank. Right now I am getting the error the value entered does not match the value of the field. That is if I put the default value in options. Basically, I can't seem to figure out the javascript code to get this to work.
Am I asking for too much, can someone guide me to javascript to help me out.
I have tried if/then statements and switch statements. I just can't figure out how to get it to for lack of better a word - toggle back and forth.
If this is not possible please tell me. If it is too complicated tell me. I am not using livecycle for this as we had a word document and I just used the find form fields. I am also using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks that looks good. I am still missing something but the calc doesn't work when I put in my variables. I will work with it more but nothing happens.
The one thing is I have the default value of the checkbox as 15 so don't know if that messes it up.
Right now I get the default value of $0.00 all the time. When I click on the check box on/off it doesn't do the calcs.
sorry, any more input, what am i missing??
I also changed the syntax error that was posted on your origianl post. You had == 'Off" I changed that to 'Off'
