I'm confused about TV Out... dissappointed with Apple...
Hello!
Well, I'm really confused with the information regarding TV out.
Now I see Apple sells a A/V cable ($19) that plugs into the Headphone port of the iPhone but that doesn't work with the iPhone (but audio works).
Apple also sells a component and composite A/V cable ($49) that plugs into the dock port of the iPhone. From what I can tell, this does work with the iPhone. Wow $49 is alot of money for a cable...
I also see a nice little universal dock with a remote control ($49). However, I don't see any info regarding the use of both the $49 A/V cable plus this will work. I see many posts saying the dock that comes with the iPhone will not work. All of this unofficial and nothing official from Apple.
I see a lovely little tutorial on how to purchase songs from the WiFi iTunes store but nothing on what I need to make the TV Out work with my TV/Home Stereo.
So, can anyone help? Can I get both the universal dock w/remote and the component cables and use them both?
Can Apple produce some information regarding TV out and the devices needed to get this to work? Am I blind and stupid because its already out there (in a non-forum based response)?
Thanks in advanced
Dave's right but let me answer this particular question:
Can I get both the universal dock w/remote and the component cables and use them both?
Yes. That's exactly what I have and it works great. You get get the component cables and use them without the dock, but you'll have to plug the cable in and out of your iPhone. You can't use the dock that came with the iPhone because it doesn't have all the pins out (plus it doesn't have the remote). So buy both (about $100 total) and you just dock the iPhone and use the remote (which works great but remember the remote will have limited functionality -- start/stop, FF/Reverse, and jumps.
The image is great whether you use the component cable or the composite cable and I highly recommend it.

Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable
I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is? -
Confused about ZFS filesystems created with Solaris 11 Zone
Hello.
Installing a blank Zone in Solaris *10* with "zonepath=/export/zones/TESTvm01" just creates one zfs filesystem:
+"zfs list+
+...+
+rzpool/export/zones/TESTvm01 4.62G 31.3G 4.62G /export/zones/TESTvm01"+
Doing the same steps with Solaris *11* will ?create? more filesystems:
+"zfs list+
+...+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05 335M 156G 32K /export/zones/TESTvm05+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool 335M 156G 31K /rpool+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT 335M 156G 31K legacy+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT/solaris 335M 156G 310M /export/zones/TESTvm05/root+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT/solaris/var 24.4M 156G 23.5M /export/zones/TESTvm05/root/var+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/export 62K 156G 31K /export+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/export/home 31K 156G 31K /export/home"+
I dont understand why Solaris 11 is doing that. Just one FS (like in Solaris 10) would be better for my setup. I want to configure all created volumes by myself.
Is it possible to deactivate this automatic "feature"?There are several reasons that it works like this, all guided by the simple idea "everything in a zone should work exactly like it does in the global zone, unless that is impractical." By having this layout we get:
* The same zfs administrative practices within a zone that are found in the global zone. This allows, for example, compression, encryption, etc. of parts of the zone.
* beadm(1M) and pkg(1) are able to create boot environments within the zone, thus making it easy to keep the global zone software in sync with non-global zone software as the system is updated (equivalent of patching in Solaris 10). Note that when Solaris 11 updates the kernel, core libraries, and perhaps other things, a new boot environment is automatically created (for the global zone and each zone) and the updates are done to the new boot environment(s). Thus, you get the benefits that Live Upgrade offered without the severe headaches that sometimes come with Live Upgrade.
* The ability to have a separate /var file system. This is required by policies at some large customers, such as the US Department of Defense via the DISA STIG.
* The ability to perform a p2v of a global zone into a zone (see solaris(5) for examples) without losing the dataset hierarchy or properties (e.g. compression, etc.) set on datasets in that hierarchy.
When this dataset hierarchy is combined with the fact that the ZFS namespace is virtualized in a zone (a feature called "dataset aliasing"), you see the same hierarchy in the zone that you would see in the global zone. Thus, you don't have confusing output from df saying that / is mounted on / and such.
Because there is integration between pkg, beadm, zones, and zfs, there is no way to disable this behavior. You can remove and optionally replace /export with something else if you wish.
If your goal is to prevent zone administrators from altering the dataset hierarchy, you may be able to accomplish this with immutable zones (see zones admin guide or file-mac-profile in zonecfg(1M)). This will have other effects as well, such as making all or most of the zone unwritable. If needed, you can add fs or dataset resources which will not be subject to file-mac-profile and as such will be writable. -
Confusion about digital audio handling in Apple eco-sphere
Confusion among Apple users. We need some answers about bit rate and word lengths in the Apple eco-sphere. This is the source material we have today:
CD 16/44.1 -> iTunes rip at 16/44.1
CD 16/44.1 -> iTunes rip at 16/48
HD audio 24/96 -> iTunes 24/96 downloads (maybe in FLAC or WAV converted to AIFF or ALAC?)
On the Mac lots of things happen with audio:
1 Conversion programs are available for CD ripping and file format changes. I have a small contribution to this part of the confusion, I purchase FLAC files and convert to AIFF using the program XLD, which seems to me to be ideal. Others may have different solution. iTunes also has a good reputation for direct CD ripping.
2 The setting of AudioMIDI (number of bits and rate) can be changed for the output up to 24/96, what effect does this have? I know for certain you have to restart iTunes if you change the settings as it reads them only once at startup.
3 Playing a file with a different bits/rate may or may not up-/down-sample. For example with AudioMIDI set to 24/96, what comes out when you play a 16/44.1 file? And vice versa, play a 24/96 with AudioMIDI set to 16/44.1, what comes out? Is it the setting of AudioMIDI that defines the output itself or the setting iTunes reads from AudioMIDI when it starts up?
For example if I start iTunes with AudioMIDI set at 16/44.1, then change it to 24/96, does iTunes continue to output 16/44.1 or does the system up-sample to 24/96? And vice versa.
4 Now the confusion gets worse if you stream the files to an Airport Express or New Apple TV. What conversions does iTunes make, does AudioMIDI have any effect, what is the bits/rate spec for the stream,is this different for Ethernet wired or WiFi connections, what conversion do the AE or ATV do, if any, and what does it output for each of the stored file types.
We need a complete and clear description of all of these issues so we can resolve the many, many discussions that are on the forum.
Any volunteers to prepare the manual?I have had no issues with the D3 and Apple TV working after sleep. Indeed, there is no data connection between the two except that the Apple TV sends a laser based digitial audio signal to the D3 for DA conversion. The D3 does not communicate with the Apple TV and the Apple TV does not signal to the D3 that it is asleep or awake. The D3 just sits there and waits for the light to come in for conversion to analog.
I suspect your problem is in the Apple TV. Perhaps you have a bad unit and need to get a replacement under warranty (ASAP if still under the 90 day but hopefully you bought the Apple care 1-3 year warranty with it?) Regardless, even out of warranty, if you make an appointment with an Apple store via the web, show up, very nicely tell the Genius Bar person that the toslink feature seems to never have been working (does not matter that it goes to a D3 or a $6000 DAC so don't mention it!), they will check your warranty, see that it is bad, and 9 times out of ten, hand you a brand new Apple TV unit! They take the old one back, refurb it, and resell it. No one looses. Be nice the whole time! Even if they say you are out of luck, just be nice. Nice really works at the Apple store!
The other issue that might cause this is syncing. If the D3 or Apple TV are hooked up to a power strip that shuts off to save power (or that you shut off manually), this might unsync the two. So leave both on power lines that always remain on. That's how I have mine set up. -
I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.
OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!
Cheers,

Hello, I have been exporting my photos with a watermark. Without changing any settings, half way through my day things changed, and now about 1 out of 7 photos have the watermark after export. Change you help me change this back please? Has anyone had this issue before?
I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until I turn on cellular or wifi.
Depends on the type of Message.
SMS messages will send and receive with data off. and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
However Android should be sending through SMS.
You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you. -

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?
Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

Confused about extending the Sprite class
Howdy --
I'm learning object oriented programming with ActionScript and am confused about the Sprite class and OO in general.
My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects together so that you can manipulate all of the objects simultaneously.
I've been exploring the Open Flash Chart code and notice that the main class extends the Sprite class:
public class Base extends Sprite {
What does this enable you to do?
Also, on a related note, how do I draw, say, a line once I've extended it?
Without extending Sprite I could write:
var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;
And it would work fine. Once I extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How do I modify that code so that it still draws a line? I tried:
var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
My understanding is that since I'm extending the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its graphics method (or property? I have no idea). But, it yells at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Graphics.Thanks -- that helped get rid of the error, I really appreciate it.
Alas, I am still confused about the extended Sprite class.
Here's my code so far. I want to draw an x-axis:
package charts {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Graphics;
public class Chart extends Sprite {
// Attributes
public var chartName:String;
// Constructor
public function Chart(width:Number, height:Number) {
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
// Methods
public function render() {
drawAxis();
public function drawAxis() {
var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
newLine.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
newLine.moveTo(0, 100);
newLine.lineTo(100, 100);
I instantiate Chart by saying var myChart:Chart = new Chart(); then I say myChart.render(); hoping that it will draw the axis, but nothing happens.
I know I need the addChild method somewhere in here but I can't figure out where or what the parameter is, which goes back to my confusion regarding the extended Sprite class.
I'll get this eventually =) -
Confused about passing by reference and passing by valule
Hi,
I am confuse about passing by reference and passing by value. I though objects are always passed by reference. But I find out that its true for java.sql.PreparedStatement but not for java.lang.String. How come when both are objects?
ThanksHi,
I am confuse about passing by reference and passing
by value. I though objects are always passed by
reference. But I find out that its true for
java.sql.PreparedStatement but not for
java.lang.String. How come when both are objects?
ThanksPass by value implies that the actual parameter is copied and that copy is used as the formal parameter (that is, the method is operating on a copy of what was passed in)
Pass by reference means that the actual parameter is the formal parameter (that is, the method is operating on the thing which is passed in).
In Java, you never, ever deal with objects - only references to objects. And Java always, always makes a copy of the actual parameter and uses that as the formal parameter, so Java is always, always pass by value using the standard definition of the term. However, since manipulating an object's state via any reference that refers to that object produces the same effect, changes to the object's state via the copied reference are visible to the calling code, which is what leads some folk to think of java as passing objects by reference, even though a) java doesn't pass objects at all and b) java doesn't do pass by reference. It passes object references by value.
I've no idea what you're talking about wrt PreparedStatement, but String is immutable, so you can't change its state at all, so maybe that's what's tripping you up?
Good Luck
Lee
PS: I will venture a guess that this is the 3rd reply. Let's see...
Ok, second. Close enough.
Yeah, good on yer mlk, At least I beat Jos.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about Kodo's Connection Architecture strategy. It is my understanding that
PMF's can be built to use the connection architecture. Along this line, one would configure the
ConnectionFactory or ConnectionFactoryName, and possibly the ConnectionFactory2 and
ConnectionFactory2Name properties in a PMF. The result of the PMF implementation supporting the
connection architecture is nice integration with the application servers in terms of security,
transaction, and connection management. One can lookup in JNDI a reference to a Kodo PMF that
supports datastore transactions or to another one that supports optimistic transactions or to
another one that supports NTR, and with proper settings of the transactional properties and suitable
application code, one's sesson bean will work.
But from what I can see of Kodo's JDOPersistenceManagerFactory class, it, itself, implements the
ManagedConnectionFactory interface, meaning, I think, that this class is resource adaptor. And that
the part that confuses me. Why would Kodo be a resource adaptor? I thought it used a resource
adaptor, which I think is the same thing as a connection factory.
Anyway, I'm puzzled, and I'm hoping that someone could straighten me out.
David EzzioDavid-
The fact that Kodo can integrate into an application server as a
Resource Adaptor, and section 3.2.2 of the specification that says that
the PersistentManagerFactory should be able to utilize a Resource
Adaptor to obtain connections to the data store are two separate issues.
We implement Kodo itself as a Resource Adaptor in order to provide ease
of integration into recent application servers. Your confusion is
understandable, since we do not actually yet support the use of Resource
Adaptors as the Connection Factories as per section 3.2.2.
Does that make sense?

Confused about Adobe IDs + Creative Cloud + DPS App Builder.
The "Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Getting Started Guide" recommends having the multiple email/multiple Adobe IDs for Accounts. (Master/Admin/Application/Builder/Designer) Great! I love being extremely organized and worked with my IT department to set these up. Now, initially, we are only going to release a couple SE apps (free w/CC), but hope to do a multi-folio down the road. So, for the SE app, I'm working through the "Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing iPad Apps with DPS, Single Edition" and I get to the page about building the app with DPS App Builder. Here it states (on page 49 for those following along) that if you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, you must use the same Adobe ID that you use to sign in to Creative Cloud. Well, of course I'm a CC subscriber. But with the company that I work at, the CC Adobe ID is associated to my work email address. So this is where I'm confused because back over in that Getting Started Guide it talks about not using an account tied to a person (which is what using my work email does). So what Adobe IDs am I suppose to use and when?
Ok, so we had a whole bunch of internal emails about this The person you were working with on Twitter was kind enough to reach out to me to make sure we gave you the right information. Turns out that SE *is* now available with Creative Cloud for Teams. This was news to me!
Back to your original question: you should sign in with your Adobe ID. If your Adobe ID for CC for Teams is your corporate email address then that's the Adobe ID you should use.

I'm new and confused about "connection" things
I'm new to BlackBerry--I have an 8320 Curve, I'm a small business owner and I'm not connected to a BES. I use the BB Desktop Manager to synchronize with Outlook and to back up my BB and I've done pretty well on most things, but I still have a few things I'm confused about. In this forum, I'll ask my "confusion questions" concerning data options.
I have a "pay as you go" data plan with AT&T, my provider, because there is virtually no cell reception at my home where I also work. (I'm not using my BB for email since I'm in front of my computer most of the time). I have a home network set up and I've incorporated a router that supports wireless. I've connected a netbook to the wireless network and used it to surf the Internet, so, I know my wireless connection works. I've also managed to create a wireless connection on my BB to this network and on the Home screen, it will display my wireless network's name when I'm here at home, so, I know the device is connected to my network.
BUT, I don't think I'm actually using my home wireless network...I tried the other day by browsing the Internet and then AT&T told me I incurred data charges--which I thought I shouldn't have if I wasn't using their network. Either I'm wrong about assuming they won't charge me if I use my network or I have something set up incorrectly on my BB...can anyone provide some guidance?
Next, I don't truly understand what BIS is...I searched through the KB and couldn't find anything that actually defines BIS...could somebody please explain what BIS is?
Finally, can somebody please explain the difference between "mobile network" and "wi-fi"? It seems, if I turn off "mobile network" I have no connection at all, including wi-fi. Is that the way things should be? But, I can turn off wi-fi and still get a connection (if I go outside as far from my house as possible and face south <g>).
Thanks...and now I'm off to the BB Desktop Manager forum to ask a few questions there!
Solved!

BIS is Blackberry Internet Service...a service, hosted by your carrier, that provides a conduit between internet facing email systems (e.g., Yahoo, GMail, etc.) and your BB. Inside of BIS, you create conduits for each of your email providers that you desire to receive OTA email for on your BB. BIS will check your provider on a periodic basis (documented to be every 15 minutes) and only when there is something that needs to come to your BB does it generate any traffic over the carrier network with your BB. BIS is an add-service, only available to those who, from their carrier, contract for The Blackberry Data Plan (as it is usually called) -- a generic data plan is not usually adequate to have access to BIS.

Mobile Network is your carriers network...data and/or voice services provided OTA for your BB. WiFi is wireless networking (802.11a/b/g/n) through your home WAP, hotspots, etc. I don't know if turning off Mobile Networ should or should not affect your ability to continue to use WiFi...I would think they are separate, but I don't have a BB model with WiFi.
I know nothing about the pay-as-you-go programs, but from all you describe, it seems that you may well be using your carrier network at times. You will need to find out (and there are others here who know) how to shut off your carrier network yet leave WiFi running so that you don't incurr the costs of surfing via the carrier network.
Hope that helps a little!
