How can I make JAVA listen to a USB device in the windows platform?

Hello, Im trying to make a program in JAVA which gets input from a joypad but I dont know where to start.
Im using the Windows platform. I have the joypad and driver which came with the joypad, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance, Ant...

Well i believe there are few JAVA APIs which might help take help
of JNI on specific OS platforms to provide you a solution to have kind of JAVA-USB communication and refered under JSR 80.
and below is an example of it
http://jusb.sourceforge.net/
and hope below articles might help better in terms of more insights.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-usb.html
http://jusb.sourceforge.net/apidoc/overview-summary.html
and if you thinking of using jUSB would be a better to start with its javadocs
http://jusb.sourceforge.net/apidoc/usb/core/package-summary.html
and as per your requirement usage of usb.windows pacakage is appropriate.
Hope that might help :)

How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?
Help me out please

Hello, aligt9p.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
iselect the customer?

Hi bazza,
We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
Here is the formula in G2
=CONCATENATE(B2&"
",C2&"
",D2&"
",E2)
It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

Obvious question: If you want to have access to the same folders andapplications, why have two accounts? The point of different accounts is that you don't have access to the other person's data.
Any application in the HD/Applications folder is available in all accounts.
Sharing data between accounts depends on the material being shared. So, if you can provide more details we maybe able to help you better.

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

HT201272 I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

Title says it all...
I downloaded a TV show directly to my IPAD, how can I download that TV show to other devices on the same account without paying twice?

Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

How can I make an invalid dynamic disk Array available to the OS again

Hello Storage Pros
The setup
I have a Promise VTrak E610f head unit with 2 VTrak 610j expansion units attached to it together giving me over 27 TB of usable storage space.
At the hardware level I slip the storage into 6 parts containing 7
1TB disks and had the parts configured into 6 RAID 6 arrays. In the end; each of the 6 arrays gives me 4.6TB of usable storage space.
On the OS level, I have the storage attached to 2 servers: Windows server 2008 and windows server 2008 R2 over a Qlogic fiber channel switch. Each of the 6 arrays are viewable as basic disks of 4,6Tb which I went on to configure as a single RAID 0
spanned volume of 27TB and for that all the disks had to be converted to dynamic.
The problem
Now comes the problem: On my first attempt to do a firmware update on the VTrak E610f storage; all the volumes were rendered foreign and I had to import them to be able to use them. Although the import was successful, I lost all the set NTFS permissions
and SMB share and I had to manually reconfigure them. Upon doing so The OS registered some inconsistencies in the storage and recommended that I ran chkdsk. Since the storage is that big I reluctantly complied and restarted the server.
The first server was restarted BUT chkdsk did not commence as scheduled, the server powered right up. After logging in to inspect; I discovered - to my surprise, that the disks were now shown as invalid in Disk Manager and were no longer visible to
the OS. Assuming that maybe a restart of the other server and the storage would set things right, I went ahead to do so but to no avail. After rebooting the entire system (including the storage), the other server also displayed the disks as invalid and were
no longer visible to the OS as well.
My question is; how can I make the disk available again from this ‘invalid’ state without losing data?
What I tried but did not help:
Taking the disks offline and then online again did not work, after the disks were online again, they still appeared as invalid.
Reactivating the disks threw an error “operation not allowed on an invalid disk pack”
Calling support of the storage manufacturer: they did not find anything wrong with the system, after 5 hours we had to stop.
I fear converting the array from dynamic to basic will destroy all the data.
HxD is showing no errors in the disks
If there is any expert out there with helpful tips; your assistance will be greatly appreciate.
Cheers
John

Hello Shoan
Thanks a lot for your response and tips. Sorry I could not get back to you in good time for I had to run some of the tests you provided, it took some time to
thoroughly re-test the system.
The summary
The initial firmware upgrade attempt forced 3 disks offline and the other 3 became foreign. I had to re-import them to have access again. after re-importing
the disks I realized all NTFS permissions and SMB shares of the folders on the disks had disappeared, but at least the disk was visible and accessible at that point - but not fault free. It was recommened that I let chkdsk run. However rebooting the
system to allow chkdsk to run did not result in chkdsk running, instead chkdsk did not run and after restart, the OS showed the disks as invalid. And that is still the case now.
Response to your questions:
Yes the storage array was (and is still) connected to another server 2008 R2 server when the problem occurred. The second server is also displaying the same problem: the disks are shown as invalid.
The loss of SMB shares and NTFS permissions occurred after the initial firmware upgrade attempt, some disks (3 out of 6 of them) were forcibly offlined and the other 3 were, suddenly, marked as foreign. In the end, and to have access to the disks
I had to online the offlined 3 disks and then reimport the rest of them. From the way I understand it, if the upgrade was not the cause, then at least it was the trigger.
In as far as converting disks from dynamic to basic, I was not in luck so far:
Three of the companies I have contacted (recommended by promise Technology technician) so far only work with smaller disks like 2TB, 27 TB like I have is so
far too big.
I’m not sure converting the disks to basic will help much though, since that would break the single 27 TB volume which the OS was working with into 6 individual
disks of 4.6 TB. Will I be able to get the data back that was written to just one volume from those 6 individual and unrelated disks?
Above all, I have connected the RAID storage system to a newly installed Server 2008 R2, the disks are also shown as invalid.
I have spent more than 17 hours in remote sessions with a Promise Technology technician trying the resolve the issue. From the technician’s side all seems in place with the exception
that the disks are invalid in the OS.
I have contacted Microsoft Customer Support service with the issue. Given that Microsoft did not manufacture the storage unit, can they help at this point – or am I better off
putting my hopes else?
Your help is always appreciated and again, thanks for your response and advice.

How can I make Java work again

Java went down on all Apple products last week, but how do I make it work again? I have, let me repeat that, I HAVE to use java for work. I have 2 programs that are essential to my work and they are currently not working causing me to either use a PC or not get work done. The timing was interesting considering I was planing on buying new Macbook Pros and Macs for our office. However, if this is something that can and will happen with no way to fix it I might have to consider PC. Why didn't Apple give us the option to disable and not just disable without even giving us a warning. I didn't get an e-mail or pop up or anything that said "hey Java will not be working due to..." Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Today i read news that there were new patch files from java and apple turned it on again

How can we make Microsoft listen? (a serious question)

The Windows 7 Beta identified a host of minor problems with the new user interface, and hundreds of people took the time and trouble to point them out, thinking they were being helpful.
The RC has addressed virtually none of them. Not only does this mean that Microsoft wasted everyone's time by inviting feedback and then ignoring most of it; it also means that W7 will be launched with a host of silly niggles that stop it being a really great product. This is such a wasted opportunity!!
I'm not talking about major architectural changes here, such as re-introducing the XP-style Start menu. I understand why MS won't do that. I'm talking about the really silly, annoying little things that surely could be fixed, and which DO NOT undermine or dilute Microsoft's vision for what they want Windows 7 to be.
I won't list them all here - this forum is full of them for all to see for themselves. But I can give a few examples, to illustrate my point:
1/ Place the mouse pointer over an icon in the taskbar for a non-running program. It takes ALMOST TWO SECONDS for the tooltip with the program name to appear. Now that my most commonly used programs are merely icons - without labels - in the taskbar, I occasionally need to remind myself what program an icon represents. A two second speed bump is a damn nuisance.
This is such an obvious fault, and must be so trivial to fix, I can't honestly believe MS is seriously thinking of leaving it unfixed for launch.
2/ This one refers to stacked icons in the taskbar (representing a program with multiple windows, of course). For these, hovering over the icon, and clicking on it, do exactly the same thing (bring up the little preview pictures). This is IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the behaviour for non-stacked icons (a program with just one window), in which hovering over the icon shows the preview, and CLICKING ON THE ICON BRINGS THAT WINDOW TO THE FOREGROUND.
In other words, for non-stacked icons, the hover and click have two distinct functions, both of which feel entirely logical and "smooth".
The obvious question is "OK, but which of the windows should be restored when clicking on a stacked icon?". The answer has been arrived at independently numerous times by different commentators: the most recently opened window. This makes good sense ergonomically - there's a good chance that the most recently opened window is the one most likely to be wanted, anyway.
So, the functionality for stacked icons should be: a/ hover shows the preview pictures; b/ click restores the most recently viewed window.
This would then "feel" TOTALLY CONSISTENT with the behaviour for non-stacked icons, and would be a great shortcut. And again, it has been suggested countless times by some very thoughtful and intelligent commentators.
Here's how the taskbar icons would work, in summary:
a/ Non-running program
Hover: show program name in a tooltip
Click: launch and bring to the foreground
b/ Running program, single window
Hover: show preview picture
Click: bring window to the foreground
c/ Running program, multiple windows (stacked icon)
Hover: show preview pictures
Click: bring most recent window to the foreground
Totally consistent, fast, "smooth", and suggested by countless commentators. It is simply better than the current arrangement, and yet is consistent with it and must be perfectly feasible to implement.
3/ Here's a simple one: open an Explorer window. Make the folder navigation pane (on the left) fairly narrow. Now try to navigate to a deeply nested folder.
Problem! The pane no longer has that auto-sideways-scroll that was introduced with Vista, but NOR DOES IT HAVE A HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR. The only thing you can do is drag the handle to make the pane wider. What a bodge!
4/ Gadgets can no longer be "guarded" from maximised windows. I understand why MS thought the gadget bar was superfluous, but it had one great feature: it made sure gadgets were (or could be) always visible.
It's no good setting the gadgets to "always on top" because that hides parts of the window you are working on. Now, I can no longer glance across to the calendar, the weather, the exchange rates, the news feeds; I have to un-maximise the window I'm working in, or steer my mouse to the Desktop Peek button. Time wasted! It's just another clunky speedbump, and totally unnecessary.
I could go on, but you've got the idea. There are countless little issues like these that MS has received MASSES of highly consistent feedback on, and yet (for some reason) insists on leaving broken.
Dear Windows 7 development team: we are on your side! We want W7 to be utterly brilliant! Most of us are intelligent, experienced "power users" and we have useful things to say. We are your customers! Please, what can we do to make you pay attention to these annoying little issues that take the gloss off an otherwise superb product?
At the very least, use your E7 blog to tell us why you want our gadgets to get hidden, why we can't scroll the folder pane in Explorer, why we've got to wait almost two seconds for a tooltip, why we can't single-click restore the most recent window, etc, etc.
Pretty please??
Steve Thackery
(Thack)
PS: Yes, I know you can alter some of these behaviours with subtle registry hacks. But for 99% of users that's a non-starter. (And in any case, it can cause unwanted side effects, as I found out when trying to change the mouse hover/tooltip delay). We want W7 to work properly out of the box.

Hi Thack
Your comments are welcome.
Besides posting your comments here, you also need to post it in the official feedback thread. These poasts really are sent directly to the beta team and they really do read them. The more feedback they get on specific changes, the more likely those changes are to be implemented.
Go to the following thread. Click the Reply Button on the first post and write your comments.
Have Comments about Windows 7 RC?
All of the posts in that thread are collected, periodically and sent directly to the Beta Team.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago. How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3. I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself. The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod). I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs). Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync? Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated
~Imamadmad

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC. However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
