How to have Windows computers show up in shared...

I am having the worst trouble with this. My parents' Windows computer showed up under "Shared" on the sidebar at first on Leopard, but then all of a sudden it disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back there. What is the secret?

Hi Matt,
I'm having the same problems, really irritating! I've no answer I'm afraid, though a temporary solution is:
In the finder menu, select Go -> Connect to Server (or hit apple+k)
In the server address box, type smb://Target_Computer Name
Obviously, replace TargetComputerName with the network name of the computer you want to connect to. So it could be smb://dev or smb://johnscomputer etc...
Hope this helps a little.

How to have an effect show up in a certain part of the clip?

I'm resonably new to AE and I'm editing a video where the guy pulls a scoped gun up to his face, and I was wondering if there was a way to have only the scope lense get brighter as he pulls it up to his face. Thank You For Your Help.

BTW, here are a couple of videos in which I show how to have an effect only apply to one item in a scene:

How to have a field show twice in the alv?

hi,
there are two questions about alv (OO).
1. i want to make a field show twice in the ALV,. For example, value of first column is 'A', and now 'A' should also show in the fifth column. which method should i use? or other solutions?
2. i have known two fields, and they are field 'A' and field 'Bbbb', how to have them show in the same column such as 'A Bbbb'
Thanks in advance!

Hello Daniel,
There's no direct way to do this. however, it is technically possible to meet your requirement.
1. The internal table should also contain another field for the 5th column. There should also be a corresponding entry in the field-catalog. Before calling the ALV Grid, the values for this field should be populated with the same values as the values in the 1st field.
2. Again, the internal table should contain the corresponding field and the field catalog should have it as well. Before calling the ALV Grid, concatenate the values into this field and display them.
I hope this helps. If not, please get back and we should be glad to help you.

Two unknown computers show up under "shared." What does this mean?

When I open a finder window, two computers that are unknown to me show up under "shared." What does this mean?
Does this mean someone has broken into my wireless network? Or that these people have access to my files? I don't want to be "sharing" anything with people I don't even know.

It means two of your neighbors also have a wireless network. They cannot access your computer unless you give them your userid and password.
Go ahead and try to access their computers. Unless they have guest sharing turned on, usually to share photos with family and friends, you will not be able to access their computers.
I’m on a university network and have hundreds of names in the Shared section of my sidebar, but do not have access to their computers, nor theirs to mine.

Strange computers showing up under shared...

I'm asking this question for a friend of mine that just bought a mac mini. I can't explain this and was hoping someone here could.
He has his mac mini connected wirelessly to his linksys router using WPA. Everything should be pretty secure. But in the finder on his mac mini, he has some strange computers showing up that are not on his network. If he tries to click on them, they disappear immediately, but will come back later.
He has a couple of other PC's on his network but neither of them can see these mystery machines. Only the mac mini can.
Also, he lives kinda out in the country... Not too many neighbors and definitely not in close quarters.
Any idea what this could be? Things to check?? Thanks in advance.

Does he also see the PC's, in finder that is. I also live in the country and i will see PC's in my network that arent even turned on, so its hard to explain.
I also have a few cantenna's hooked up and i also will see a few of my neighbors PC's

How to have multiple movies show in same window on same web page

Hi folks,
Here's what I mean: I have a web page with several pix on left side, and an embedded QT player window on the right. I want my users to click on one of the pix, and the associated quicktime movie shows up in the player window and starts playing (see player code below--pretty standard).
So far, the only way I can think of to do this is to have multiple identical pages, the only difference being each one of them has a different movie in the "embed source" tag (so when you click on one of the pics it takes you to the new page, but to the user it will appear as if it's the same page).
But for ease of modifying this page in the future (which I'll be doing a lot), I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Anyone know of a way to do this, using scripting or...??
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
player code:
object codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" name="movietitle" alt="quicktime movie player" width="320" height="256">
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
<embed src="movies/light1qt6.mov" width="320" height="256" name="movietitle" controller="true" autoplay="true" pluginspage=" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>

This is beyond anything I have ever tried. But I think I know what you have in mind, and you should be able to do it using JavaScript. I did it with still images on this page:
http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/adventures/tr2005/ohfair2.html
You would need to give the movie container a name so that you can access it from JavaScript, and you have the added problem of needing to control the QuickTime object from JavaScript. Have a look at the QuickTime JavaScript API; it might be helpful:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicktime/Conceptual/QTScripting_JavaSc ript/index.html
In spite of the code on that gallery page I linked above, I really don't speak JavaScript, and I barely understand how my own code works. But I think JavaScript will allow you to do what you want to do, and you can probably even write a custom controller for the movie right into your web page.

[iPhone] How to have a background showing under a transparent EAGLView?

I'm trying to have a fix background that is blended with the OpenGL contents.
I've tried to set an UIImageView at the back of a EAGLView but the image shows on top of the EAGLLayer. So I guess I am doing it wrong :]
Is it possible? I also read that it will also imply a severe performance hit but I am still wondering how to do that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and bonus points for sample code!

Hi, that's easy too.

How to have Windows Print prompt pop up when printing SBO documents

Version 8.8 SP00 PL14
I have SBO Print Preferences for Sales Order and AR Invoice set to NOT Print on Add.
I have PLD layouts with defined printers assigned to users.
I want the user to be able to change the defined printer when printing a document.
I don't want the user to have to select a different PLD layout.
When the user prints a document SBO is sending the document straight to the defined printer without popping the Windows Print screen that would allow the defaulting printer to be changed.
Is there any way to make the Windows Print screen pop up?

Hi Tony,
I noticed too that when you now click on 'Print', the windows print window no longer comes up.
Did you set the PLD template default by user and indicate in Print Layout Manager the correct printer for that layout? (i.e. looks like you need a layout for each printer if the printer is different by user unless the printer to be used is the user's default printer.)

How to have Windows OS available on a iMac

I am about ready to junk my wife's PC and buy her an iMac. But she has to have a Windows OS screen to communicate with certain clients. I understand there is some way to have that available on the iMac. I vaguely recall someone mentioning VMWare. What would people out there recommend I look into.

The full Windows 7 install disk or downloaded file (.ISO). You will need your MS License key handy.
The principal competitors for Virtualization are Oracle's free VirtualBox, VMware's Fusion 6 (60.00 USD), and Parallels Desktop 9 (80.00 USD). VirtualBox is very good for free. It is what I use. If you decide on VirtualBox, you will need to download two files. The OS X Platform package file (currently 4.2.18), and the same version Extension Pack. To install the latter, launch VirtualBox, then double click the Extension file. Do this before you load MS Windows.

How to have 2 computers and 1 ipod

how do i have two seperate librarys both transfer music to my ipod and not have to share the files between eachother while the ipod is a summed library of the two PC's

Locke de Bretteville,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you connect the iPod to the other computer it will ask if you want to link it with this computer. Click "No" and the content on your iPod will not be erased.
(at least on Mac it works this way)
From there you can get things to work as mentioned in the earlier posts.

Unknown computers showing up under "Shared" on secured wireless network.

After reading through the forums, it looks like I am not the only person who has encountered this, but I haven't found any real answers and my situation is a bit different.
Yesterday, unknown computers started showing up in the "Shared" sidebar in Finder. This happened both on my MacBook Pro and my iMac. I have a password protected wirelss network. I know these are other people's computers and not just printers or peripheral accessories on my wireless network because they have names like "John Doe's Mac Mini" and "Smith-pc."
I understand that this doesn't mean that someone is trying to hack into my computer, that they could just have sharing enabled on their computer and it is broadcasting its availability for a connection. However, I don't understand how these computers are broadcasting it. I live on a farm in an isolated area where it is not possible for someone else to be picking up the signal from my wireless router. I think I have established that these are Bonjour connections because I can make them disappear from the sidebar by unselecting "Bonjour Computers" in Finder Preferences. I have checked all of the MAC addresses that my wireless router (Apple AirPort) says are connected and I can account for all of them.
My ISP comes in through a wireless antenna system. Is it possible that they suddenly changed something yesterday that is letting Bonjour signals from other subscribers to be broadcast through their network? I have used this ISP for a couple of years now and this just suddenly started yesterday.
Should I be concerned? I have gone through and made sure that file sharing is not selected on our computers. I'm not sure what precautions I would need to make with our iPads, iPods, etc. Is the appearance of these computers simply an annoyance, or am I in any way at risk?
I would appreciate any insight anyone can give.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How to have iMovie events in one single shared folder ?

Hi,
I have an iMac configured with multi-user sessions (one per family member). I start with iMovie, and it seems that when working with events and projects, all data is located on personal user root folder.
My requirements are 1) to avoid duplication of data, and 2) allow every one to work with imported events.
I tried to locate all events & projects in the iMac shared folder, however iMovie does not recognize them anymore.
What is the solution ?

Good Morning tonitri,
I understand you want to share iMovie libraries, events and projects among different users on your iMac without duplicating or copying data to each user account.
My suggestion would be to use a large capacity external Thunderbolt, FireWire or USB drive for all of your video files so that everyone in your family has access to the libraries, imported clips, events, projects, and exported final movies that you create with iMovie.
You could organize the information any number of ways. One way to start is to create a library for each family member on the external drive.
Take a look at the following resources for iMovie:
