Help With Trial Program Not Fully Functional

I am using a trial of InDesign. I have been watching several of the tutorials and try to mimic them, and the prompts (or at least some of them) just won't work. I go to make changes as the tutorial does...and I can't open many of the functions, can't show two pages side-by side in spite of clicking the prompt to end shuffling. The "clicks" just don't work on some functions. I can add a rectangle with the rec tool, which works, but when I try to add color the scroll of the color bar won't work and if I click on one I can get to, nothing happens...no response. I try to pull one of the pages down so that they are side by side (2 page spread) and no page gets picked up to move??? I have closed and reopened, rebooted...the thing is that the very first time I tried, it did let me do these features. But since I closed it the first time, it just quit working fully? I have chosen the select tool...I have tried everything. I am noticing that my scroll bar works to move things (on my mouse) but the onboard scroll won't, and in many cases I am not able to use my mouse to click an item???
Any ideas? Does Adobe offer any help on a trial?
thanks!

It's important to tell us what version of ID and your OS, but I'm going to take a shot in the dark and Guess maybe you run Windows 7 or Vista. If that's the case, see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

Is the trial version not fully functional?

Hi,
I'm testing PE8 trial - also I'm a complete newbie for video editing and PE8. I assume I export my project to end up with a finished video but PE8 doesn't let me export. It's all grayed out. Is it because it's a trial copy?
Thanks,
Sam

Sam,
The trial is fully functional. The ONLY limitation is that the Exported/Shared output will have a watermark banner on it.
Now, the old Export functions (well, most of them) are now grouped under Share. That is why I had to change things to "Export/Share," as it depends on one's version number.
You will find many "export" Presets under the Share tab. Why Adobe even chose "Share" is a mystery to me, but then they did not ask...
Good luck, and do not forget that watermark.

Help with error program not registered CPI-C error CM_ALLOCATE_FAILURE_RETR

I have the following connection error in SM59 ...
Connection error        program ZCCCOM_NZ_PMH01 not registered / CPI-C error CM_ALLOCATE_FAILURE_RETRY.
I have deleted and re-registered the program but still no connection. Any ideas as to what/where I am going wrong would be fantastic!!

The program in the above error should be registered in the gateway for this connection test to complete successfully. The server program rfcexec is responsible for its registration on the gateway.
To register the program login into the OS level as sudo su - <sid>adm and execute the following command.
rfcexec u2013g<program id> -a<gateway host name> -x<gateway service>
rfcexec is the server program name, the <program id> can be obtained from SM59, it is case sensitive and should match with the entry in SM59. The <gateway host name> and <gateway service> can be obtained from the transaction SMGW. When this command is executed it goes to a hanging loop.
The connection will fail once this command is terminated or the user executing this command logs off
To avoid this, instead of using the above mentioned command an entry should be made in the file saprfc.ini
To do this, execute the following command
sudo su - <sid>adm
rfcexec u2013D<destination name>
<destination name> is the RFC destination name in SM59
So now we are done with registering the server program, but how do we check it is registered, once a server program is registered it is displayed in the Logged on clients in SMGW.
In transaction SMGW choose GOTO-> Logged on clients. There should be an entry for the server program in the screen that is displayed with system type Registered_TP (which indicates that the program is registered)

DTR component not fully functional

Hi all,
We recently tried to change the DTR repository properties file, according to SAP NOTE: 1001509.
After performing the process mentioned in this note, we noticed this particular repository.properties file has the wrong content (I downloaded the file from online NWDI - DTR and this caused the file to include HTML Tags and replacing the Key/Value pairings with a different keyset).
This caused the DTR to not fully function; for example we cannot checking any activities anymore. Whenever we try to restart the DTR application in the Web AS, we get a NumberformatException on multiple Key/Values in this repository.properties file.
At this moment, we are not capable of changing this repository.properties file since we cannot checkin activities.
We also tried to replace the repository.properties file on UX, but we now believe (since this file is also version controlled) it is only contained in the NWDI Database.
I've included the error trace DTR pushes out;the current repository.properties file (wrong one) and the correct repository.properties we wish to have in place.
This is a very challenging topic for our teams to solve.
Anybody up for an idea?
Thanks,
Wesley

The great thing about most BlackBerry phones is their removable battery. Anytime something goes wonky with your phone, doing a battery pull should be your first course of action. When you do a proper battery pull, many unnecessary temporary files get deleted and this helps your phone run smoother and ofter quicker. To do a proper battery pull, make sure your phone is powered on then remove the battery and replace it a few seconds later and wait for your phone to boot up. Don't worry, you won't lose any personal data. Many phones from competing manufacturers don't have this feature so be happy that you can correct many issues using this simple technique.
I can answer your question about voicemails right away. Your carrier's voicemail number should be programmed on the SIM card. To access it, simply press and hold the #1 on your phone for a second or two. That should direct you right to your voicemail box where you'll be prompted to enter your password. If you press and hold the #1 on your keypad and you're not directed to your voicemail box, contact your carrier to obtain the number as well as instructions on how to enter it in your phone.
Try the battery pull and report back with your results. Cheers.

Help with Paint program.

Hello. I am somewhat new to Java and I was recently assigned to do a simple paint program. I have had no trouble up until my class started getting into the graphical functions of Java. I need help with my program. I am supposed to start off with a program that draws lines and changes a minimum of 5 colors.

}If anyone could point me in the right direction of how to go about getting my buttons to work and fixing the button box, I would be greatly appreciative. I just need to get a little bit of advice and I think I should be good after I get this going.
Thanks.

Web pages are not fully functional on iPad

Until recently I was enjoying my experience with my iPad 2. I went to Netflix to write a review for a film and was unable to do so. For whatever reason, I am unable to select the desired stars for my rating. While obviously this is not a deal breaker, it is frustrating knowing that some web sites are not fully functional with my iPad. I hope this changes in the future. Cheers.

Here we are over 2 years after the original post and I am having this problem too. Having it in both Safari and Chrome. When I first got my Ipad 3 I was able to rate movies (select star from red to yellow) on the netflix.com website. Somewhere along the line that quit working. Everything else on the site works even radio buttons on page where you select types of movies you watch and how much. At first I thought something on the website changed but then I got a new Ipad 3 at work, low and behold, I was able to rate movies by selecting stars. So what's the difference? Tried deleting history, cookies etc. Removing apps and rebooting. Long story short, I reset my Ipad deleteing all user info and settings and setting up as a new Ipad and it still doesn't work. I can't find any settings on the website itself that affect this. Anyone?

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Help with Recurrsion program

I seem to be having a little problem with my program. In my main program, depending on which method comes first, the other methods wont work for example the way my main program is not, with occurance method before removeLetter method, the occurance method works fine, but my removeLetter meth won't remove the letter. But if i switch the two and have removeLetter first then it will remove the letter, but my occurance method will come back say the letter is not in the word even when it is...can someone help me? Thanx in advance...
class CharacterRecurrance{
     private int i=0;
     private int occur=0;
     void inString(String s, char n){
          if(i<s.length()){
               if(s.charAt(i)==n)
                    System.out.println("Yes, the letter" + " " + n + " " + "is present");
               else{
                    i++;
                    inString(s,n);
          else System.out.println("No, the letter" + " " + n + " " + "is not present");
     void occurance(String s, char n){
          if(i < s.length()){
               if(s.charAt(i)==n){
                    occur++;
                    i++;
                    occurance(s,n);
               else{
                    i++;
                    occurance(s,n);
          else System.out.println("The letter" + " " + n + " " + "appears" + " " + occur + " " + "times");
     void removeLetter(String s, char n){
          if(i < s.length()){
               if(s.charAt(i)==n){
                    s = s.replace(s.charAt(i),' ');
                    i++;
                    removeLetter(s,n);
               else{
                    i++;
                    removeLetter(s,n);
          else System.out.println(s);
class Program3_10{
     public static void main(String[] a) {
          CharacterRecurrance find = new CharacterRecurrance();
          String word = "mississippi";
          char letter = 's';
          find.inString(word, letter);
          System.out.println();
          find.occurance(word, letter);
          System.out.println();
          find.removeLetter(word, letter);
}

Or make it zero in the last step of each function. Like this-void occurance(String s, char n){
          if(i < s.length()){
               if(s.charAt(i)==n){
                    occur++;
                    i++;
                    occurance(s,n);
               else{
                    i++;
                    occurance(s,n);
          else{
               System.out.println("The letter" + " " + n + " " + "appears" + " " + occur + " " + "times");
               i=0; // reset to zero.

I am a business guy (technically savy) who is interested in creating interative PDFs (primarily navigation).
The mantra of fireworks, design once, export to many is very appealing. But I don't understand why it refers to the final product as a prototype.
question 1) The training videos refer to the final interactive PDF created as a prototype. Why? What makes it a prototype? Why isn't it a fully fuctional interactive PDF that can be made more sophisticated by adding forms, etc. ? If it is a prototype, what program do you use to make it fully functional? Is that InDesign? Is Fireworks merly a strating point, to be finished in InDesign? What is disabled to make it only a prototype?
question 2) This is the same question, but about export to CSS & Images (web site). I realize you can add far more functinality with Dreamweaver, but isn't the export a fully functional (if simple), web sight? What is disabled to make it only a prototype?
Prototype implies to me that it does not produce a useable final product. It has to be made useable or finished by another product.
THanks!
Bob

I think the term "prototype" is being bandied about a bit too liberally <grin>. Here's my viewpoint:
Fireworks can produce finished final artwork for screen. I do this all the time as do many other much more talented Fireworks users.
From a web site and application perspective, Fireworks is a prototyping tool. It doesn't build final web sites for applications; it just builds the graphical shell that other applications (such as DW or FC) can use for building out the final product. As a prototyping tool, you can create very realistic representations of the final product, for client feedback and review and to a degree, user testing. One option for gaining feedback from the client is the PDF export. Combined with Acrobat Pro, you can activate the commenting feature and then this PDF gives you and the client the ability to place feedback right in the PDF just by using Acrobat Reader. In this way it can be a useful tool while designing the site or application, and getting specific feedback from the client within the graphical prototype.
The PDF Export could also be a final product, IMO, depending on it's end use. There is no rollover support, video or audio support from within Fireworks or the export process. Likewise for transitional effects. Interactivity though, using the rectangular slice or hotspot tools, is fully functional. Keep in mind though, that default print resolution in FW is 72 ppi. If you plan on printing out this PDF, you'll want to start with a higher resolution for better printing quality.

The problem I am having is getting the constructor to work with the rest of the program can someone please point out to me how to correct this. I have read my textbook as well as tutorials but I just don't seem to get it right. Please help.

Help with pathfinding program

hi,
i study java at school and i need help with my project.
im doing a simple demonstration of a pathfinding program whose algoritm i read off Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinding)where the co-ordinates of the start and end points
are entered and the route is calculated as a list of co-ordinates. Here is the section of code i am having trouble with-
void find_path(int x,int y,int p,int q)
int t1;int t2;
int temp_pool[][]=new int[4][3];//stores contagious cells of elements in grid pool
int grid_pool[][]= new int[100000][3];
int pass_pool[][]=new int[4][3];//stores the pool of squares which can be added to the list of direction
int path[][]= new int[10000][3];//stores actual path
int count=1;int note=10;int kk=0;
int curx,cury;
//the above arrays contain 3 columns - to store x and y co-ordinate and a counter variable(the purpose of which will become clear later)
grid_pool[0][0]=p;
grid_pool[0][1]=q;
grid_pool[0][2]=0;
int counter=grid_pool[0][2];

count++;
if(linear_search(grid_pool,x,y)==true)

//in this part we have isolated the squares which run in the approximate direction of the goal
//in the next part we will isolate the exact co-ordinates in another array called path
int yalt=linear_searchwindex(grid_pool,p,q);

int g1;int g2;int g3;
for(int u=yalt;u>=0;u--)
g3=find_next(grid_pool,p,q);

path[u][1]=g3;
path[u][2]=u;
for(int v=0;v<=yalt;v++)
System.out.println(path[v][0]+','+path[v][1]);
ill be grateful if anyone can fix it. im done with the rest though

Also, please take the trouble to properly spell words and use a bit of capitalization. Your question is hard to read as it is, which will most probably cause (some) people not to help you. And lastly, please use code tags when posting code: it makes it so much easier to read (see: [Formatting Messages|http://mediacast.sun.com/users/humanlever/media/forums_text_editor.mp4]).

Help with a Program I am writing! Please!

Hello All,
This is my first post...I hope to find some answers to my program I am writing! A couple things first - I am 17, and have designed a comp. science class for myself to take while a senior in high school, since there was not one offered. My end of the 2nd term project is to write a program that encompasses the information I have learned about for the past two terms. I know the very basics, if that. Please help!
My program involves the simple dice throwing program, 'Dice Thrower' by Kevin Boone. The full text/program write out can be found at:
http://www.kevinboone.com/PF_DiceThrower-java.html
I am hoping to add a part to this program that basically tells the program if the dice show doubles, pop up a little GUI window that says "You are a Winner! You Got Doubles!"
I was thinking as I finished chapter 7 in my text book, that either an 'if/else' or 'switch' statement might be the right place to start.
Could someone please write me a start to the program text that I need to add to 'Dice Thrower', or explain what I need to do to get started! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

I know this seems like a lot of errors, but believe it or not, I actually had it up in the high teens and was able to fix some of them myself from going by previous examples, as well as looking things up in my text book. If anyone has any suggestions concerning the syntax errors of the code, please please let me know and I will work my hardest to fix them...thank you all so much for helping.

Help with Dice program.

Hi People!
This is the homework my professor assigned for me.
Assignment 2: Write a program that rolls two dice 1000 times, counting the number of box cars (two sixes) that occur, in object-oriented way. (In other words, do not make all your code in one main() method. Use classes and objects.) Use a overloaded constructors.
I have to use two classes for it. One of is the Dice(Below), and the other would be the client
This is what I have for the dice part so far.
public class DiceServer {
public static void main (String[] args)
final int ROLLS = 1000;
int Boxcars = 0, num1, num2;
Die die1 = new Die();
Die die2 = new Die();
for (int roll = 1; roll <= ROLLS; roll++)
num1 = die1.roll();
num2 = die2.roll();
if (num1 == 6 && num2== 6)
Boxcars++;
System.out.println("Number of rolls: " + ROLLS);
System.out.println("Number of Box Cars: " + Boxcars);
I'm getting an error about the symbol not being resolved, and it's pointing at "Die die1 = new Die();". Can someone please help me. Thank you.
Also, can someone plaese get me started on the Client Class. Thanks

Hi,
I've gotten pretty far with this program thanks to all your help but I've got another question.
My program so far has been able to display the result of rolling 2 six sided dice 1000 times. I've used Boxcars.java as my Client and Die.java as my overloaded constructor. Now I want to display the number of Boxcars(Double six)by rolling a six-sided die and a 20 sided die together.
My question is would I code that in Boxcars.java or Die.java.
Thank you!!!
Boxcars.java
public class BoxCars {
public static void main (String[] args)
final int ROLLS = 1000;
int Boxcars = 0, num1, num2;
Die die1 = new Die();
Die die2 = new Die();
for (int roll = 1; roll <= ROLLS; roll++)
num1 = die1.roll();
num2 = die2.roll();
if (num1 == 6 && num2== 6)
Boxcars++;
System.out.println("Number of rolls: " + ROLLS);
System.out.println("Number of Box Cars: " + Boxcars);
Die.java
public class Die {
private final int MIN_FACES = 4;
private int numFaces;
private int faceValue;
public Die ()
numFaces = 6;
faceValue = 1;
public Die (int faces)
if (faces < MIN_FACES)
numFaces = 6;
else
numFaces = faces;
faceValue = 1;
public int roll ()
faceValue = (int) (Math.random() * numFaces) + 1;
return faceValue;
public int getFaceValue()
return faceValue;

Need help with basic program.....!

I've to write a program that generates a random number, which the user has to try and guess, after each guess they're told whether it's too high or too low etc., I've gotten this far, however, the user has only 10 guesses.... In my program I've used a while loop and the user gets an infinite number of guesses, I know I'm supposed to use a for loop, but can't seem to get it to work properly. Also, when the user guesses the number, the program then has to print out how many guesses it took, and I have no idea how to get it to do this AT ALL!!! I'd really appreciate some help with this, thanks v. much!!!!

help with this, thanks v. much!!!!Hey not every book covers every aspect of Java (if you haven't got a book and don't want to buy 1 i recommend an online tutorial) If u want the user to have an infinate number of guesses, use an infinate while loop. Put this in a file called app.java:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class app extends Applet implements ActionListener
     JLabel lbl=new JLabel("Guess a number between 0 and 10:");
     JTextField txtfield=new JTextField(20);
     JButton button=new JButton("Guess...");
     JLabel lbl2=new JLabel();
     int randomnumber=Math.round((float)Math.random()*10);
     public void init()
          add(lbl);
          add(txtfield);
          add(button);
          button.addActionListener(this);
     public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
          String s=new String("");
          s+=randomnumber;
          if (e.getSource().equals(button) && txtfield.getText().equals(s))
               setBackground(Color.white);
               setForeground(Color.black);
               lbl2.setText("Got it!");
               add(lbl2);
               validate();
          else
               setBackground(Color.white);
               setForeground(Color.black);
               if (Integer.parseInt(txtfield.getText())>randomnumber)
               lbl2.setText("Too High!");
               else
               lbl2.setText("Too Low!");
               add(lbl2);
               validate();
Then create a HTML document in the classes folder:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>APPLET</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<HR>
<CENTER>
<APPLET
     CODE=app.class
     WIDTH=400
     HEIGHT=200 >
</APPLET>
</CENTER>
<HR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It will do what you wish. If you want to have more then 10 numbers to guess, for example 100, do this:
int randomnumber=Math.round((float)Math.random()*100);
Does that answer your question?
