Newbie here and having just swapped from a Windows machine to my mac I am finding a problem with itunes.
Please in words of one syllable . . could some one please say if using the "Open Stream" in advanced icon will allow me to connect to BBC local radio?
If so, please could they say how?

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.

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

[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)?

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!

Newbie Here - Constant Crashing & Can't Load Files CS5.5

A complete newbie here....I have started a project, imported clips, everything works great. I edit my sequence, I've got a create basic edited video. I save the project. That was a great days work....
Now everytime I re-open a project, it sits there loading for what feels like eternity. The video never loads into the "program" viewing area, but I can see the clips and a thumbnail of the clips in the Sequence section below.
And then it crashes while trying to play the program, most of the time.
If it doesn't crash it's simply choppy and I cannot play the program still.
However, if I start from sratch, new project, load clips in, everything plays smoothly so I don't believe it is my hardware that's causing the problem. I'm getting tired of re-editing the same clips over and over.
Suggestions?

Alright...I have some more info...I looked into the windows event viewer...

Newb here witha few questions.

Not a newb to macs but to my powerbook. I had a Powermac G3 all in one beige with 384 MEGS of ram, 9.2 OS and a factory speed of 233 MGHZ clocked to 280 and 4 GIG HD and CD drive. It since died a few years ago when the power unit/supply...i am guessing, crapped out. I now just purchased a Lombard 400 MGHZ powerbook G3 DVD/CD, with 64 MEGS of ram and a 6 gig HD. There is some things i need to get for it...ram, batteries and a bigger hardrive but i am happy with it. I am running 10.2 on it right now and REALLY need more memory. I am about to install 9.2 on it as well. My question is the PC slot on the left side, what can go there? I know the 333MGHZ Lombards use a DVD decoder there but mine does not since its built in. What sorta things can go there? Also i have a 10.3 CD here...should i install it as wellor will it make it run slower since i only have the 64 MEGS right now.

Flex Newbie Here

I am a complete Flex newbie...so forgive my limited knowledge
while I ask my question! LOL
Here is what I'm trying to do:
I have some data in a database that tracks how many of a
certain item I have.
I want to create a simple flex app that will list these items
and their current count, and when that count changes in the
database, the page automatically reflects the new value without
refreshing my entire page.
From the very limited amount of knowledge I have of Flex so
far, this seems like it should be pretty simple, but I need to get
this running fairly quickly, more quickly than I think I could
learn how to do it on my own. So any help/guidance would be greatly
appreciated!!
Also, on a side note, I have picked up and am starting to
work my way through the Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source
book...are there any other good resources for learning Flex out
there that anyone could recommend?
Thanks!!

You want to use the Data Management Services for such a
thing.
If your company, does not have the budget for Adobe Livecycle
Data Services (LCDS), you can use Farata Systems' Clear Toolkit
based on the free Blaze DS.

Brain-dead Newbie here...

I would like to create a tool that will drag an image from a webpage to a folder every 20 seconds- for 15 minutes- every afternoon.
I do that by hand now- the images are from a webcam set up watching a nest of barn owlets growing up and eventually fly off. (I'm making a time lapse animation) Last night I got the big idea to automate the image gathering aspect; hours later I was more lost than when I started!
I don't know WHERE to start- the documentation for Automator isn't "newbie simple" for me. I couldn't even figure how to turn the example workflows on! I can deal with Photoshop actions, fancy wired sprites in skinned Quicktime movies, and webby javascript things- but I'm in diapers as far as Automator's process for building a tool is concerned. I'd be thrilled to find a tutorial that makes sense! Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

It's very much task oriented (type of action) and not detailed oriented (how to do action). It takes practice, but letting go of how we are doing it and just identifying the action for the computer to do (however it wants to accomplish that action) really helps when creating Automator workflows. Changing the view of Automator actions to "Category" (instead of "Application") can help when using this approach. On the other hand, I'm sure some would say it's not that at all, that it's instead just a different way of thinking. Oh well, who knows.
Anyways, it sounds like this is what you want, in a somewhat task oriented approach:
1. starting from a web page (not how it's viewed, just start with web page or its URL)
2. get an image (not how to get it, just do it)
3. wait 20 seconds
4. start back over, but stop after 15 minutes
Here is a basic workflow for when you have a constant URL for the web page, but not a constant URL for the image.
1. "Get Specified URLs" (Internet category, or Safari app)
Easiest way to set this is have the page open in Safari and then use the "Current Safari Page" button in this action.
2. "Get Image URLs from Webpage" (Internet category, or Safari app)
In the previous action (step 1), we provided a URL of the webpage with the image we want. This action gets all image URLs from that webpage, but not the images themselves. (Note that we could set this to get any links on the page that lead to images, but that doesn't apply to our needs if the image is already on this page.) You can click on the "Results" button at the bottom of this action to view the URLs obtained when you run the workflow. In fact, go ahead and run the workflow before adding more actions so you can find out URL of the image you want.
3. "Filter URLs" (Internet category, or Safari app)
We probably don't want every image URL found by the previous action in step 2. It's likely we only want one image. You'll set the conditions for isolating that one image from those found in step 2. The easiest criteria is selecting "name" and then "begins with" or "contains", depending on what will match the name (after the last / in the URL) of the desired image but not the other images. This helpful for when the name of the image changes, perhaps because the date and time might be part of the name.
4. "Download URLs" (Internet category, or Safari app)
This is the second part of getting the images. As the name implies, this will download the files pointed to by the URLs. In our case, there should be only one URL that will be downloaded and it'll be an image.
5. "Pause" (Utilities category, or Automator app)
The description of this action doesn't tell you this, but if you try to set the pause to greater than 59 seconds (and press Return) then it'll give you a cryptic error message. You want every 20 seconds, so that shouldn't be a problem.
6. "Loop" (Utilities category, or Automator app)
This will start the workflow over again. Set it to "Loop Automatically" and then either choose the number of times (thrice per minute for 15 minutes is 45 times) or set it for 15 minutes. I would go with the number of times since the workflow likely won't run exactly three times per minute, because it takes time to go through each action. Try a few times (three or four) or a short number of minutes (like one or two) when first testing it out to make sure it's doing what you expect. Also, make sure it's set to "Use the original input" and not the results, because the results aren't URLs and this workflow needs to start with just our specified URL in the first action.
That's it.
Of course, if you discover that the image has the exact same name each time (i.e. the URL to the image doesn't change), then you can shorten the workflow. Essentially, you would start with the URL to the image as the specified URL instead of the webpage. In that case, you obviously wouldn't need "Get Images URLs from Webpage" since the URL is to an image and not a webpage. You also wouldn't need to filter the URLs because there would be only one specified. So, just specify URL, download URL, pause, loop. An easy way to specify the image URL in "Get Specified URLs" is to use its "Current Safari Page" button after opening the image in a new Safari window (just right-click on the image and choose "Open Image in New Window").
However you do it, you'll probably want to save this as an application instead of a workflow so you can run it instantly by double-clicking it, or put it in your Dock. You can edit it again by opening it from within Automator, or drag-n-drop the app onto Automator.

Newb here has been put in charge of a small company network. Need help!

I'm new to ARD, but well versed in Macs and OSX. A friend's family has a small company and the head honcho uses ARD to monitor the other Macs at the office from her iMac running 10.6.3 there at the office, as well as from home using another iMac and a Macbook Air. I was asked to help and am well paid to figure out ARD for them. They booted their last IT guy, by the way. So the boss's Macbook Air and her Office iMac are the Administrators, and the iMac at home is the client. All machines running 10.6.3 and latest ARD 3.3.2 Admin and Client s/w.
For whatever reason I can only control or watch the office iMac from the iMac at home, and cannot access the home iMac from the office.
For the record, the Macbook Air does not have this same issue, but I've yet to tackle it.
When I double click the office iMac from the Home iMac and look through the tabs, I am told the Client s/w on that office iMac is an old version.
I have read the white papers and watched the Apple videos. This just doesn't make sense!
What is going on? Any hints? Please......

FIXED! However........
The home iMac "supposedly" has a fixed IP address. Well, it wandered a bit apparently so there was a small change at the ISP that threw everything off. I looked into an email sent from that machine's user and displayed the long header to get the IP address of the home iMac. I then entered that new IP address into ARD from the office iMac, and BAM, works like a charm now!
What I can't figure out is why the ARD on home iMac says the office iMac is running 10.5.8, when it is running 10.6.3 and it also says the office ARD client is 3.2.X rather than the actual 3.3.2 it is indeed running. Weird?
Any ideas? Maybe everything will update once I use ARD from the home iMac into the office iMac?

Hi All, newbie here, trying to install Windows 7 on my new iMac, heaps of trouble?

I get to a point where I choose the Bootcamp partition and the error message comes up: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted as NTFS.....

Roger
Thanks for the response. I am having heaps of fun here. Got a printer working and printed out the Bootcamp help, which I followed slavishly to no good end. I partitioned the disk, burnt a cd with the Bootcamp data. The Windows 7 loaded as far as the choosing partition to install. The instructions say to go with the Bootcamp partition Disk 0 Partition 3....then I have just read on the next page and it says I choose "format"...so it looks like I have answered my own question. I was clicking on "Next"!!!
Bit dim on a Sunday afternoon here...

Newbie here trying to load an rss feed thru xml in Flash AS 2.0

I have never looked into RSS feeds before, I now have someone that wants Yahoo rss newsfeed embedded in his main.fla. I have an AS 2.0 rss newsreader he sent to me, knowing nothing about RSS I started to look around and eventually got to a point where I went to a Yahoo RSS feed and copied the source page and dropped it in the xml file that came with the feedreader. When saved, published and uploaded to the server the file displays the feed from yahoo fine, but it never update the stories. I would think this has to do with the xml as it is embedded in the page so it can't change so my question is how do I get an rss feed converted to xml to update???
I gotta be missing something here, I hope this isn't too dumb of a question.
RD

Yep, as I suspected a dumb question. All I had to do was replace the xml file name with rssurl and it worked.
sorry guys. I have another question regard this I will post separate.

Spatial Index problems - Newbie here

Hello,
I am pretty new to Oracle and have had an issue pop up. I was able to solve it but I am wondering what the issue really is so I can have a better understanding of how Oracle works.
I am trying to run a spatial index on a table which contains partitions, here is the code I was running.
CREATE INDEX "xxx_ADMIN"."CODED_PART_CODE_SIDX" ON "xxx_ADMIN"."CODED_PART_CODE" ("GEOMETRY")
INDEXTYPE IS "MDSYS"."SPATIAL_INDEX" LOCAL (
PARTITION "PART_v1234" PARAMETERS ('tablespace=xxx_coded_part_code sdo_rtr_pctfree=0 pctincrease=0 layer_gtype=POINT'),
PARTITION "PART_v2345" PARAMETERS ('tablespace=xxx_coded_part_code sdo_rtr_pctfree=0 pctincrease=0 layer_gtype=POINT'),
PARTITION "PART_v3456" PARAMETERS ('tablespace=xxx_coded_part_code sdo_rtr_pctfree=0 pctincrease=0 layer_gtype=POINT'),
PARTITION "PART_OTHER" PARAMETERS ('tablespace=xxx_coded_part_code sdo_rtr_pctfree=0 pctincrease=0 layer_gtype=POINT')) ;
commit;
This never seems to work but when I change the name of the partitions to start with a 'd' instead of a 'v' (PART_v1234 becomes PART_d1234) everthng works just fine.
Any idea why this happens?
Any help would be appreciated,
Tom

Well the first thing you need to learn about Oracle is basic concepts such as when asking a question about Spatial to post in the forum that discusses Spatial.
This group, Advanced Queuing is totally unrelated to Spatial.
