HT2499 How do I find the DVD remote control and restart my DVD where I left off?

Hello. I have the external disc player. When I inserted a DVD the first time, the movie started automatically and the DVD remote control came to the screen. However, I had to shut down before I finished watching the movie. I kept the disc drive plugged in and the DVD inside. Now I don't know how/where to find the DVD remote control to restart the movie as it doesn't start automatically without me unplugging the whole thing and restarting it from the beginning.
Thanks!

Thank-you, Eric. No, it was when the movie was stopped and I had actually turned off the computer for the night. I played around on it a lot and kept googling. I think the way is to launch finder and search DVD player. The remote came up then! Don't know if there's an easier way but I'm happy to restart my movie now. (I am a new Mac user, evidently ) Thanks for replying!

Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX: How can I find a new remote control & spare satellite(s)?

Hi all,
For years, we have owned and used one remarkable speaker set from Creative:
The Creative Megaworks (Cambridge Soundworks) 250D 2.1 THX-certified speakers!
I have no complaints. The sound this small 2.1 set produces is amazing! The 300 watts (RMS) power can shake the whole house - x50W + 2x75W are more than enough! Movies, music, games, everything sounds great - bass is deep and clear, mid-range is good, high frequences are clear! There's no noise and no distortion (I have connected the system to an SPDIF digital connector on my sound card), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is 99 dB, and the frequency response of the set is extremely good, too!
But I have a problem, now. We have broken, by accident, one of the satellites. Now I have only one satellite, and the bass/amplifier with the remote control... Looks like a . system... ;-)
This system was a present for us. Maybe we were lucky, but I am very happy with the build quality of this Creative spaker set. Until we have broken one of the satellites ourselves, yesterday, everything was OK, and the sound it produced was amazing all these years...
I tried to contact a Creative representative, asking if we can maybe order one (or two) spare satellites fot this set, but the only reply (up to now) was:
"You are out of warranty period. Buy a new speaker set."
Well, we could, I guess...
But:
First: Creative does not have (at present) a similar model, 2.1, THX certified, with digital (SPDIF input), 300W+ RMS, 99 dB Signal-to-Noise.
Second, to throw away such an amazing set just because there's one satellite broken? That would be such pity! :-(
I'd like to buy one (or two) new 250D satellites. I was thinking even that, in the worst case, I can maybe try to order 2 satellites from a Creative Gigaworks S750 set. They have very similar characteristics, 70W rms power, 8 ohms, so maybe this'll work. I was trying to check today if two satellites can be ordered, but with no luck up to now... :-(
Does anyone have any similar experience? What do you do if you accidentally have broken up one satellite from a 2./5./7. expensi've speaker set? Should you throw away the whole set? Try to find similar satellites?
I hope Creative support will help, but I don't have much hope, at present...
Does anyone have experience connecting an S750 satellite to a 250D system? Can I expect any problems? Or it'll work?
Finally, just one more question:
The remote control.
Currently, the remote control unit on our 250D model works OK. But I am a bit worried, if anything happens, that the speaker set can become useless. So I'd like to order one spare new remote control for this model, just in case. Can someone help?
Maybe, even if this speaker set is not produced anymore, a new remote control can be ordered from Creative?
I'd really like to make these 250D speakers produce great sound again!? I am a big Creative fan and Creative 250D 2.1 THX is one of the best sound systems I have ever owned (or heard) and I'd like to do everyting to fix things up...
Thanks for all the help!
Cheers! :-)
PS The satellites of the 250D look very much like these. But these Cambridge Soundworks satellites are more powerful (20W RMS); I was even thinking to order a pair of them, but not sure if they'll fit well. Maybe a pair of S750 satellites (70W RMS) is a better idea? But in any case, if I can find a new pair of satellites, what to do with the remote control?... Please, help!

After exchanging several messages with official Creative Support, I feel a bit disappointed... For years, I have believed that Creative is a company that makes amazing audio products. They probably still do, but now that I am a customer who owns an expensive product of theirs, but with expired warranty, they don't want even to suggest a solution that can work for both parties!
Why is Creative Support so un-supportive? :-( I am still a Creative customer, after all, right?
My communication with Support went nowhere. After it was established that our 250D system is out of warranty period (it is only 2 years, btw), they refused to sell me a replacement satellite (even if they still may have some left in stock, for such cases)!
Finally, I found S700 satellites on ebay and I hope that 2 of them will fit well with the 250D system. Impedance of 250D satellites is 8 ohms (S700 satellites are 8 ohms, too), power is almost the same (250D satellites are 75W rms, and S700 are 70W rms), Signal-to-Noise of both systems is 99 dB, and frequency response is similar, too (250D satellites should be around 50Hz - 8 kHz, I think, and S700 should be around 50Hz - 20 kHz).
Well, my final 'point of worry' was that if anything happens with the remote control, we won't be able to switch on/off the system, even if the sub/amplifier works. So, I tried to ask Support just to sell me one new remote control, if they can. To sell, not to give for free, mind this! ;-)
They refused!
My e-mails are either left un-answered, or the only kind of reply I get is 'We can offer you 10% off our new products'. Well, I don't want to buy a whole new expensi've system, if I can just get 1-2 replacement parts for my old one, and have it working for years! :-)
(Imagine you buy an expensive DSLR camera, you break the LCD screen, and imagine how Canon or Nikon refuse to sell you a replacement LCD, because you're out of warranty! I can't imagine that!)
Well, with Creative it looks like this works only this way: Buy a new system. While speaker system is within its warranty period, Creative may replace defecti've and/or broken parts. Once system is out of warranty period, you can simply throw the system away, as Creative will not sell you replacement parts, no matter how politely you ask (and no matter if such parts are available at Creative or not)!
I hope I will be able to use our 250D system for some more time (after the satellites arrive). I don't know how I can find a new remote control, just to be on the safe side.
And I am not sure I will buy Creative product next time. I will carefully look around and maybe will pick up a product from a company which will offer me not only warranty support, but out-of-warranty support, too. That would be wise.
I like how the high-end Creative speaker systems sound. I simply cannot understand how this company can be successful, if they make such great products, but then refuse to help its customers, when they have problems... :-(

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?
I am having a problem running report 9i from forms 9i (see below thread). How do I find out the name of the report server? I checked my C:\ids\reports\conf directory but don't see anything that gives me the name of the reports server. I also don't have a iashome directory.
Also, I just want to run the paper report (not the web version).
Thanks.

Hi,
please read teh Forms / Reports integration paper in teh Collateral section for Oracle9i Forms at otn.oracle.com/products/forms
In summary, you have to create an external Reports Service that you can then give a name.

How can if find the most repeated character and number ???

Hi,
I have a question. For instance, if we have a text file which contains:
aaabbbhhhhhhtttttsjs12366
How can i find the most repeated character and number. I have to add this code to the following program:
I will aprreciate if you can help.
Regards,
Serkan
import java.io.*;
public class LineLen {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
          final String filename = "deneme1.txt";
          BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(filename)));
          String line = infile.readLine();
          int linenum = 0;
          while (line != null) {
               int len = line.length();
               linenum++;
               System.out.print(linenum + "\t");
               for (int i = 0; i<len; i++)
               System.out.print("*");
               System.out.println("");
               line = infile.readLine();
}

For a small alphabet like English, array migt be used:
//in a for loop
++array[s.charAt(i)];For a big alphabet like chinese, HashMap might be barely used:
map.put(s.charAt(i), increment(map.get(s.charAt(i))));
// increment is a user defined method, possibly for an Integer object,
// that returns a new Integer object

How do I use the commands to start and restart the jmqbroker normally?

How do I use the commands to start and restart the jmqbroker normally?
Because I have tried to use "jmqcmd shutdown bkr" and then tried to type
"jmqbroker" to start up. My screen hangs up and seems that the process
hangs up. The message is
[28/Jun/2002:18:29:07 GMT+08:00] [B1060]: Loading persistent data...
[28/Jun/2002:18:29:08 GMT+08:00] [B1039]: Broker "jmqbroker" ready.
The prompt is hanged until I press CTRL-C.
Then I got the following message:
[28/Jun/2002:18:32:07 GMT+08:00] [B1047]: Shutting down broker...
[28/Jun/2002:18:32:07 GMT+08:00] [B1077]: Broadcast good-bye to all

[28/Jun/2002:18:32:07 GMT+08:00] [B1048]: Shutdown of broker complete.
Then, I use jmqadmin to invoke the console, I can start the broker
again, it gives me
Error encountered while connecting to the broker: "MyBroker":
Broker Host: 'localhost'
Primary Port: '7676'
[C4003]: Error occurred on connection creation, - caught
javax.jms.JMSException
Please verify that there is a broker running on the specified host and
port.
I used ps -def | grep jmq there is no process anymore.
Is it a bug? Would somebody have any idea on what went wrong?

'jmqbroker' is the command to start a broker.
When you type 'jmqbroker' in a command window,
unless you put it in the background, the shell
prompt won't return until the broker is shutdown.
So when you see 'Broker "jmqbroker" ready.', it tells
you that the broker is running and is ready.
When you CTRL-C the process, it has the same effect
as using jmqcmd to shutdown the broker. And so after that,
there's no jmq processes running since you have just
shutdown the broker.
Remember that the jmqcmd/jmqadmin 'restart' command is to
restart an already running broker. jmcmd/jmqadmin does
not support starting a new broker instance.
If you are using csh, end the jmqcmd command with an ampersand ("&")
to have the broker running in the background. An alternative is to
stop the process with Ctrl-Z then input the command "bg" to have that
process resumed in the background.
The problem with not being able to start a broker using the
administration console is a documented limitation of the product that
Yvonne also mentioned. Check the Administrator's Guide for that.

Can warranty be sent to my email? I can't find the piece of paper and I only have 2 days left before my warranty is gone

My iPod touch screen is cracked and I have warranty. But I can't find the piece of paper saying I have warranty. So I was wondering if warranty could be sent to email. Here's the catch: I only have 2 days before it expires. Anyone know?

A broken screen is not covered by the warranty. To send it it see:

How can i find the year/specs of a laptop?

I am planning on purchasing a macbook from a local shop and they say it is slightly used but are giving it to me for a substantially low price. They said they will allow me to check it out and see if i want to buy it or not. How can i find the year of purchase and specs of the laptop quickly and through simple use at the store to decided if i want to make the purchase? also, how can i judge if a mac is fully functioning in a short period of time? sorry for my lack of knowledge as i have only ever owned a pc

When examining the laptop, boot it up, click the Apple menu, and click "About This Mac." It will tell you the CPU and RAM. Click the More Info button for the full System Information listing of all hardware and software.
The System Information Hardware Overview section will list the exact model like this:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
You can look up the Model Identifier to determine the year of release and more specs. I have the MacTracker app on my iPhone which has a complete database of all Macs ever made, so I look it up there.
On the desktop, if you select the hard disk icon and choose Get Info you will get a readout of the disk capacity and how much is used/free.
It's hard to know if a Mac has a hidden problem, after only a few minutes of examination. You will have to wing it or ask for some kind of warranty.

Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password. Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear. Try the factory defaults.

Qosmio X300 - Remote control and function bar for windows seven

Hi,
I have bought this PC with Vista x64. I have upgraded it to windows 7 (x64)
But I didn??t find driver for remote control and function bar. The drivers for Vista *64 don't work.
Help me plz.
Thanks for reading
(Sry for my bad English)

Hi
The Win 7 drivers are not available for this unit at this time.
But I found some Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba US driver page.
Of course you will not find exactly the same X300 series but you can choose the drives released for Qosmio X305-xxxx
There is no big difference between X300 and X305 so the Win 7 drivers should work too

How do I make Mac remember where I left off a TV Show on my Apple TV?

I have Lion OS and iOS5 on my iDevices. Still when I watch a TV show from my Apple TV, and then resume on my Mac, the Mac doesn't know where I left off the TV show. Nor does Mac mark a TV show as watched if I have already seen it on Apple TV.
Is there a way to remember where I left off in a TV show across devices?

I'd think ..... it will by default remember the playback poition on my Mac anyway. Or am I missing something?
That's not generally what happens when you open most other documents, by default you are taken back to the begriming or first page, obviously it's something you might want to do with a movie so iTunes includes this option (although yes it's set by default). many other movie applications don't remember where you left off.
>>> OK, but just to be sure, Apple is not really leveraging iCloud in this case, which is unfortunate (See more below).
Second, does it mean that if I download the TV Show on iPad, it will remember the position there as well? Or will it start from the beginning only?
If you stream the movie from the iTunes Library on your mac to your iPad it will remember the position,
>> How does one "stream" a movie from Mac to iPad? Streaming is only done to an Apple TV as far as I know
but if you play it from a file on the iPad (i.e. downloaded or synced) then it's essentially another file on another device and that device will have no idea where you left off in another file on your mac.
>> Ok for the downloaded case. But in the case of synced, actually it does remember where I left off, doesn't it?
>> What I am a bit baffled by is why Apple couldn't sync media playback position via iCloud. So, I watch a TV show on my Mac (or Apple TV), and it just syncs playback position periodically to iCloud and then to all devices, so that I can pick up on any device. Say I am leaving the house and now want to switch to iPad from Apple TV, iPad will remember where I left off.
