How to get an out-of-control thread deleted or at least locked?
I am the original poster of a thread that has gone WAY out of control. Today, for the second time, I've asked the hosts to delete or at a minimum lock the thread. My first request was apparantly ignored, so in my second request I asked for the courtesy of a reply and gave them my email address.
IF a host happens to stumble in here, this is the thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4461098?start=0&tstart=0
I have never seen so many whiners, ranters, etc. in a thread, and have the hosts ignore them.

What's the big deal? There are still fewer than 1000 replies and only 87 pages in that thread

How to get background color of controls ?
Hello everyone.
How to get background color of controls ?
When we use AWT/Swing,
we can get background color of component by using Component.getBackground()
It is regret that I can not find any method for such a method in JavaFX.
And how do we detect the change of background color of controls ?
Best regards.Hi Tadashi,
try this.
@Override
public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.setTitle("Test ChangeListener");
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("change background");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
primaryStage.getScene().setFill(Color.rgb(
(int)(Math.random() * 255),
(int)(Math.random() * 255),
(int)(Math.random() * 255)));
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(btn);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
primaryStage.getScene().fillProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Paint>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Paint> arg0, Paint arg1, Paint arg2) {
System.out.println(
"old color: " + arg1.toString()
+ ", new color: " + arg2.toString());
btn.getOnAction().handle(null);
primaryStage.show();

How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run
How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run
So you have read the marketing hype, and are thinking what you really want is to pay for the service to upgrade your low quality bitrate files to a bit better 256KBPS rate easily, as don’t fancy rebuying/ reimporting or other method
This guide should show you the fastest route to achieve you upgrades
It assumes you’re working from your main music library, and know something about IT, and have <25k of music files
Backup your music files
If you know how to do this, its simple right – so once done then move to step 2, if not read below so you don’t blame me for a loss
Transfer Hardware
your choice the transfer hardware, suggest offline harddrive via USB3.0 (blue USB connector/eSata/ 1494b/1GB NIC/etcetera but your call
If you use USB2.0/ 100MB NIC/1394a or other lower transfer method, accept the time hit
Don’t use Time Backup/local disk backup software unless you have RAID 5 setup or better (and if wondering what that is, you almost certainly don’t then)
Don’t use internet backup service unless you live next door to the hosting company, with stunning internet connection to envy 99.9% of the human race, remember this is the fast method folks)
Transfer Software
I am assuming you know how to do a copy n paste/ robocoby/xcopy/drag n drop or whatever method turns you on via finder/explorer/cmd window ect
Caveat #01: If not sure how to do above, then stop now as you are not IT literate ready for this
Find your music files and back them up
Now keep the computer running, preferably with nothing else running from this point for ease of use bar an active internet connection, and power saving switched off
If you know where the files are great, backup the files, but some don’t so for them as below
Caveat #02: if you don’t know how to find them your most likely on default settings, or sitting with a legacy from a past upgraded machine - below should help but you might want to stop now if you have never been curious about the location before
Within iTunes , go to [Edit/Preferences/Advanced] and note down the location shown for Itunes Media Location
In the same location of preferences, hit [Keep iTunes Media Folder organised] and let the application do its stuff. You will end up with the location in 1ciii a ready to copy location which for simplicity of topic, copy the whole folder and its subfolders. You may end up with some extra copies of music files (an iTunes safety mechanism, but it won’t show in the folder location, and we can ignore later on)
Enable Match (after paying for the service)
Run Match
Accept that the Apple iTunes process is not perfect, may crash/stop/pause and reboots will be needed, and we can move on so to speak. Key here is you cannot do an unattended script or assume no end user interaction needed L
Turn on iTunes Match, notice the new ITunes Match on the left hand sidebar, click it, then hit the Start button – if it works and you eventually get to STEP 3 perfect.
If it fails before getting to STEP 3, reboot and restart
If this still fails to get to STEP 3, then create a new iTunes database (browse forums on how to do), read your media files from the location in 1civ
Stop MATCH (the upload process only, not the service)
Once STEP 3 starts, CLICK STOP - ASAP, as all this does it upload data, and you don’t want to do this, just get your upgraded files (remember the title of this entry your reading!)
This also avoids future issues with Album art lost
Delete Matched low bitrate files
Create a NEW SMART playlist, with two criteria
Show all files with bitrate is less then 256
Show all files where iCloud status is MATCHED
In the new playlist, click it and it shows the files we want to blow away.
Click Edit / Select All then
Click ctrl in windows/apple (cmd) logo in mac, and press delete button, ensuring you do NOT tick the delete from iCloud Option. Now want a few mins for it do do its stuff.
Download Upgraded BitRate Files
In the same location as 5, reselect all, and right click, and select the option to download all, and off it goes
On the lefthand sidebar in iTunes, click Downloads, and you will then see in the middle bottom screen an option for simultaneous downloads (select it)
Your done Just let the app now do its stuff. I would ignore the message saying you can get on with other things, and use anther machine, preferably not using the same internet connection.
Optional Steps:
Click randomly from the Itunes/Matched/256KBPS listed files, and play them. Not all the files, one every 30 or so, and just the start, then last few seconds to check not dead or corrupt files.
Update your Step 1 backup with the new files, which is going to take up more space, guess at 40%.
Kill your iTunes Match account (both the recurring automatic subscription, and the account if not continuing to use the store part of iTunes)bump

Is there any way to close an out of control thread so that posters can respond to current and applicable problems? Perhaps tell them to post new topics instead of continuing that one?
On the Using Your MBP forum, there is a thread that is so long and so convoluted now that it is confusing brand new MBP users who are saying that they think that they now must have problems because everyone does.Hi Rhyd!
If you want to alert the Hosts, of concerns you may have about a post or topic, you can also use the Report this post link, which appears in the bottom right corner of each post.
If reporting an individual post, or reply, in the text field, include a note explaining your reason for reporting.
If you have an issue with the entire thread, such as the one you discussed here, I suggest that you report from the first post in the Topic, and explain your concerns exactly.
The Hosts can then determine the best course of action.

My 4gb SDHC flash mem card is stuck in DVD slot on my iMac 27". How to get it out?
I misplaced my 4GB flash memory card (Canon camera) in the DVD slot (above the card slot) and it disappeared while I was trying to get it out. Naturally I inadvertently (spelled "stupidly") knocked it inside and could not figure out how to get it out. The dust rubber "shields" hide it and I've tried to find it with a toothpick and wedge it out, to no avail. Are there any ideas or suggestions others may have used to get it out (I know turning it on it side and shaking won't work). Why in the world did they design it like it is -- I've had it happen to me and others have also told me of their misadventures, but they also were able to gradually get it out. This time, it's in too deep. Can I ignore it and still use the CD/DVD slot without it blowing up?
You might need to take to an Apple technician or apple dealer to let them take apart the iMac and remove the flash memory card. if you're very careful you might try a pair of needle nose pliers and a flashlight but it's easy to do damage to the DVD internal mechanical if you're not real careful.
A good story to tell your grand kids maybe ;-)
Good luck -
Hi,All.
I am running SAX (JAXP1.01) in Applet to process XML file. My question is how to get data out of xml format according to the field name (@age,@rank etc)
and write into string buffer seperated by comma.
Should I use SAX or DOM? (file size is big)
My xml as follow :

------------------------------------------------For big files use SAX: quicker and less memory usage.
The xerces parser from Apache has some examples. Basically what you do is scan the XML, remembering what tag you are and once you find the right tag, read the contents. -
How to get graininess out of black areas?
How to get grainiesss out of black or dark areas?
you can't.
a) too low light recording results in 'noise' due to in-camera amplification
b) noise is handled by the compressors as 'content'; which results in blocky artefacts.
for FCPX are plugins avail, as the famous Natress DeNoiser, which smoothen such pictures (very well). a $$$ solution.-

How do I find out what app was deleted by mistake on my iphone5?
Do you mean that you deleted an app by mistake and you don't know which one it was?
Look for it in the Apps section of iTunes. If you used iTunes to sync your phone, just choose Install next to the app, then resync. -

Huge Problem: How to get Information out of the SAP System into MySQL?

I wrote a Program, which creates a internal Table wich some information from many DDIC-Tables. The internal Table is about 7 Columns, with only char fields.
Also I have a MySQL Server (reached through the Internet), with a database on it, and a table, which looks 1:1 as my internal Table in ABAP does.
Now I want to append the Data from the internal Table to the MySQL Table.
Is there ANY chance of getting this done?
and btw. can I append this Data with a secured connection?
THX for help...

Markus VoelkerThink of Orchestrator as a "router", that will route information and workflows between SCOM, and [insert 3rd party product here]. Depending on your 3rd party product, there may be an "integration pack" for it that Orchestrator can use for out of the
box tasks.
So what's an integration pack? Well - think of it like a management pack, but for Orchestrator. SCOM does monitoring, but it doesn't know how to monitor something unless you install the relevant management pack. The management pack contains
all the rules/monitors for monitoring whatever it is you wish to monitor.
Well, an integration pack is similar in concept, except it tells Orchestrator how to interface and integrate with whatever it is you're trying to perform tasks with.
For what you want to do, there is a SCOM integration pack. This is a set of tasks that can get alerts and events out of Operations Manager (there are also tasks that can create and close alerts in Operations Manager).
From what I can imagine - you would want to get alerts out of SCOM when they happen (so you would use one of the SCOM orchestrator tasks to "get alert if status = new, and source = myapplication"), and then you can pass that alert to another task - such
as write it to a CSV file or something. You could then have another task that picks up that CSV file, and passes it to your application where it can be captured. Or you could use the CSV to populate variables in a powershell script, and then powershell
that information into your app.
There are many ways you could do this, but I do believe that Orchestrator would be the better option.
