How do I make a JFrame appear in the middle of the screen

When I use the setVisible method on a GUI (object which extends JFrame), it always pops up in the top left corner of the screen. What can I do to center it in the middle?

Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setBounds((screenSize.width-400)/2, (screenSize.height-300)/2, 400, 300);

How do I make a site appear in the Permissions Manager?

I forbid all sites to set cookies. The sites where I have an account are the exceptions. I'm finding it hard to make a site appear in the Permissions Manager. I tried lots of things. Like placing a bookmark in a bookmark folder, creating a bookmark manually, copying and pasting a bookmark from folder to folder, visiting a site lots of times.

Visit a site, click the site icon in the address bar, click More Information, click Permissions, set the permissions for the site that you're visiting.

Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".

How can I make row labels appear on the right

I am creating a timeline for a web development project in numbers
I have changed the content scale to get it to fit on two pages (it's illegible on one page) but the tasks are overlaid on the grey column containing row labels
How can I make the row labels appear on the right side instead of the left side?

Thanks Badunit - that was a big help
The counterintuitive part of this whole exercise is that to get the timeline printed as I want, I've got to leave the column representing Week 8 blank

How can I make my bookmarks appear on the left like they did in much older versions? I don't like the "new look".

I've been using Firefox since it was Firebird. I like the way my bookmarks appeared on the left, but I *HATE* the way they look in newer versions. On my own machine, they still look like they did before, even tho I've upgraded to 22. But on other machines, even tho I've uninstalled 22 and gone back as far as 3.0, they change to the new style when I upgrade to 22. Grrrrrr.. :-(

{Ctrl + B} opens and close the Bookmarks Sidebar, as it always has with Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox.
You can also open the Bookmarks Sidebar with Alt > View -> Sidebar --< Bookmarks. Or you can use "Customize" and move the 2nd Bookmarks button on to a Toolbar and hide the "original" Bookmarks button at the same time.

When i unplugg my ipod lines appear across the screen and wont turn on how come?

when i unplugg my ipod lines appear across the screen and wont turn on how come?

Is it working properly when it is connected to power?
when i unplugg my ipod lines appear across the screen and wont turn on
Please clarify... Does the screen look "normal" (and is it turned "on") when connected? When you disconnect it, "lines appear across the screen"? If it "wont turn on," how are there lines (or anything) appearing on the screen?

Hello Terryfrank,
Congratulations on your new laptop! Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer.
I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article.
With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up. The last step is to import the content to your new computer. Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

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.

How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

How can i make my object appear as a mesh?

How can I make an object appear as a mesh? I dont want anything as complicated as a coloured gradient I just want a flat object to appear like a net. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

Jules,
Depending on the shape, and upon the appearance (varying width and/or knotting or whatever), it may be anything from a Rectangular/Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool) to something intricate and difficult.

Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

You can add JPanels to a container in an overlapped fashion, when you switch off the layout manger of the container by:
bigPanel.setLayout(null);then you have to layout the container yourself by calling the
setBounds(x,y,width,height) method on the 3 panels.
But I don't know how to control the z-order of the panels.
I think using JLayeredPane is the better solution.
JLayerdPane definitely works with JPanels.

How do I make previously downloaded apps appear on the screen? Now, I have to open them in the App Store.

I just upgraded to iOS 7. My downloaded apps no longer appear on the screen; I have to open them from wihtin the App Store. How do I get them out of there? The only option I see when I call them up in the App Store is "open."
Thanks.

Did you update your iOS via iTunes and the computer? If so, did you transfer purchases? Your Apps that were purchased via the App store on the phone should still be on the phone. Have you checked all of the home pages? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, see if they are back. If they are on the computer, you can also connect to iTunes and sync them back.
