Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

Uber Noob Needs Help Creating website!

I need help creating my webpage: It has a textbox on it were
the user enters a URL and it then redirects the end user to that
URL when they press the GO Button. It also has a check box saying
"Hide my IP", If the end user clicks this box and then clicks go
they will be directed to the website they stateted in the Textbox
but this time it shall mask there IP Address so they can bypass
proxys and surf anonomosly. Please can someone give me some HTML
code i could use for this site or a Link to a website that can give
me the code.

I assume the application is connecting to Oracle using an application ID/password. If so, check to see if that user has a private synonyn to the table. If so drop it since you have a public synonym.
Verify that the public synonym is in fact correct. Drop and recreate the public synonym if you cannot select against the synonym name using an ID that can perform select * from inhouse.icltm where rownum = 1. That is if this other user cannot issue select * from icltm where rownum = 1 without an error.
Check that the application ID has the necessary object privileges on the table.
Queries you need
select * from dba_synonyms
where table_owner = 'INHOUSE'
and table_name = 'ICLTM'
You may find both public and private synonms. Either fix or delete. (Some may reference someelses.icltm table if one exists)
select * from dba_tab_privs
where table_name = 'ICLTM'
and owner = 'INHOUSE'
Note - it is possible to create mixed case or lower case object names in Oracle by using double quotes around the name. Do not do this, but do look to see that this was not done.
You could also query dba_objects for all object types that have the object_name = 'ICLTM'

Need help with automating text import/pasting/macro between Photoshop and Excel

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a large project now that seems extremely daunting, but I was hoping there would be some way to automate it using either Actions or some sort of macro program. Here's the gist:
I've created a template with 24 differently sized text boxes in the photoshop image file. Each text feild has unique text that needs to be be pasted into it, which has been compiled in excel. This wouldn't be too dificult to do, except I have to recreate this image and all 24 text fields aproximately 350 times. None of the text boxes will remain static through all 350 images as text is the title, description, and demographic ratings/percentages/data for the topic of each image. I did something similar manually last year and it took me about 3, non-stop 18 hour days to complete it.
(the test template)
Can anyone think of any way I could automate this process? I'm thinking some sort of macro that copies cell 1 in excel, switches to photoshop, opens layer 1, pastes, switches back to excel, goes to cell 2, copies, back to photoshop, layer 2, pastes, etc, etc, then does a 'save as' in photoshop and revets to PS layer 1, EX cell 1 (on tab 2) to start the process all over again. I have no idea if this would work or if there is another way to do this but I would really appreciate any help or advice you guys could give. I don't have really any expreience using PS Actions or macro programs/scripts, so I may be over my head or overlooking a really simple way to do this. If there's a way to do it, I'm persistent enough to figure it out and get it working. Doesn't really matter how it gets done, I just need to fill those text boxes as best as I can and as quickly as I can.
Any help you all could give is really appreciated.

Have you read up on the Variables support in Photoshop?

Need help in printing text in footer

Hi Friends,
I need help from all you guys. I am working on SmartForms, and need help. Please look into the below situation, and appreciate if you can help me out.
The Literal **DATA CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE** is to be displayed at the bottom of the
page in the Footer only if the data rolls onto second page.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi,
define the two variables in the global definition as
g_cnt type sy-tabix.
g_flg type c .
->in the initialization tab pass the internal table that is the main window.
g_cnt = lines( the table name which you are using in the main
window before the footer).
Now you have the total no of lines in the g_cnt.
in the loop which is in main window create the program line pass the output parameter as g_flg.
in the condions tab give the condition as g_cnt = sy-tabix.
in the source code of that program lines
g_flg = 'X'.
now for the footer where you are displaing the text coutinued on next page for in codition tab give the condition as g_flg = space.
Thanks,
NN.

Newbie Needs Help - PreE7 - using text/titles

I'm learning PE7 and I'm having difficulty achieving the results I want with text - I hope someone can help...
I have a 'visual' (screen capture) you can view here in my photoshop gallery here: http://tinyurl.com/ybeu2t9
My Goal: To create a video from still images with occasional, black, blank clips with text in between.
My Problem: Some of my text is 'animated' and I don't want it to be. I can't figure out how to remove the animation nor do I understand why it's happening in the first place.
If you look at my 'visual', you'll see:
item (1) is a clip where I have a still image (repositioned on a black background) with text over it. Both the text and the image are set to fade out to the next still in the video... I'm not quite sure how I managed to achieve this but the results are what I want for this one.
item (2) is a clip where I created a blank and then added text to it. When I play it, the text is static (not animated at all) and this is just the way I want it to be.
item (3) - here I tried to duplicate what I did with item 2 (though with different text), that is, create static text but when I play the video, it is faded in, which I do not want. I noticed that it has a little, double-photo, icon in the corner just as item 1 has so I assume it is the indicator that something is happening here but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove it.
I'll appreciate any help!
Oh, and if it's important to know, I'm using Windows Vista 64.
Lady of the Thorns (aka Rose)

Welcome to the forum.
Thank you for the screen-cap. What I suspect is happening is that you are actually altering an existing Title - one with animation already appled. When you create a Title and drag it to the Timeline, or the Sceneline, you are placing an "instance" of that Tilte only. One can have unlimited instances of the same Title. If you change, say the text in that instance, you are changing it for that Title, so if you have multiple instances, they all will change.
Now, PrE allows one to do a Title Template, and also allows one to create new Styles. To do Titles that will be the same, with only text changes, the Title Template is easy to use, but you need to do multiple ones, changing the text, as is required of each of those multiple Tiltles. They will now appear in the Project Panel as separate Titles. You can then have multiple instances of any of these.
An example would be a Title Template with animation and a Style that you want, that says "Place Text Here." You'd bring that Template into your Project and then change that text to "Meanwhile, back at the ranch," and you want it to crawl across the screen (Animation) Now, you want that particular Title to be used in 4 places in your Timeline. You'd just drag it to the required spots. All would read, "Meanwhile, back at the ranch." All will crawl. If you change the text in one, all will update. That is not what we want. If we want a static Title to read, "Looking down on the ranch," we need to do a new Title for that. We'd not use the Template, but could use the Style that we created and saved, creating a new, static Title with our new text.
On a sidenote, PrPro (PrE's big brother) has a similar Titler. One neat feature on it is a little icon that allows one to do a new Title, but based on the one in the Titler. When chosen, this opens a Title naming dialog box, and then creates a new Title. All attributes will be the same, and initially will have the same text. We change that, and it's in a new Title, so it does not affect any other Titles. This is a big timesaver, and I hope that PrE will add it.
One additional thing to remember is that the PrE Title animations will affect only one line of text. If one wants animation of multiple lines of text, they need to do one Title for each line of text and then add the animation to each separate Title. These would then be placed in separate Video Tracks, one above the other, so it appears as one Title on the Timeline.
Hope that this is your issue, and that I have helped you solve the problem. If not, please tell me where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

Need help with optimizing text appearance when exporting video

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Convert a Powerpoint presentation to an MP4 (AVC) file, frame rate 30 (actually defaults to 29.97) and video bit rate of 1200kbps,using Wondershare PPT2VideoPro. (There are no actual video clips contained in the original PPT file).
2. Import the newly created MP4 video into a new project in Premeire Elements.
3. Add audio files (WAV) created by Audacity.
4. Export the final product as a video.
Here's the problem:
The text quality in the final exported film is very poor, and the screen occasionally seems to sublty flicker once and a while. I've tried multiple different settings, but all with the same result.
Can anyone offer suggestions on optimal settings for exporting the final product such that the text is as clear as possible? (The text in the MP4 file created by Wondershare looks great.)
Thanks!

One option would be to create the Text Images in Photoshop, and Save_As a PSD.
For large sets of Titles, I do the text portion in Word/WordPerfect, so I can use Spell-Check. Then in PS, I just Copy/Paste the text into an Image, where I apply all of the PS Styles that I need. Because I use PrPro for most of my NLE work, I will often do the Titles with Layered Text, and Import those as a Sequence, so that the Layers are not Flattened. This allows me to independently animate each Layer, as I need. Unfortunately, PrE does not allow one to Import the Layered PSD's, Unflattened, as it does not have Sequences.
Also note that PrE's Titler's Styles are just a starting point. Once applied, one can alter most aspects, and when they are satisfied with the changes, they can then Save the new Style and re-use it over and over. Do not forget the ability to modify those Styles.
From PowerPoint, and this depends on the version, the best that one can usually do is to Export each "slide" as a TIFF, and Import those into the NLE program.
Good luck,
Hunt

Need help creating landscape in AE

Hi, I need to create an animation of a train moving through different landscape scenes. I want the hills to be an actual 3D rendering with the train moving through them but I am unsure how to do this. I am familiar with 3D and can create the hills in my 3D application but how do I get my 3D hill into AE so the train, camera and lights etc. can interact with the hill?
1. How do i get my 3D hill into AE?
2. How do I add the train so it goes around the hills?
3. How do I get the camera and lights etc. to reflect on my 3D hill?

First of all, it would be very helpful to post an example of the kind of look you're going for or a similar shot you're trying to recreate. In animation there are limitless ways of making things so it really helps to be very specific. For now I can advise this much...
1. Render your hills out of your 3D application as an image sequence that supports transperancy if you want to layer them or you want the sky to show up behind them.
2. If you want the train to go around the hills, it really depends on how you make the train. Are you also rendering that in a 3D app?
3. I don't know what you mean by getting the camera to reflect, but when you make a layer 3D, After Effects shows the Material Options settings that allow you to control how your layers react to different lighting setups.

Aperture Workflow - need help creating workflow for photo management

Hi -
I currently shoot with a Canon SD890 (point & shoot) and a Nikon D300 (SLR). My photography is either personal photography or street photography. I may use some of my photography for a web project but that should not be considered right now. I shoot jpegs with the SD890 and RAW with the D300. I need to create a workflow that will allow me to manage all of my photos as well as the RAW vs JPEG aspect. Here are a few initial questions:
1) Should I separate the RAW and JPEGs in Aperture (two libraries)? One library for finished photos and one for negatives?
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
I am interested to hear how others do this...especially if you use both point & shoot and SLR cameras.
Thanks for your help!

No, use a single Library. Aperture will have no problems with the various formats or with various different cameras.
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
Actually those date or event driven batches of images are very logically "Projects" in Aperture. Simply name each group of images as you import into AP as a new Project.
IMO it is not good to import camera-to-Aperture (or direct to any app other than the Finder). Best is to use a card reader and use the Finder to copy images from the camera card to a folder on the computer hard drive.
Below is my Referenced-Masters workflow:
• Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive. I label that folder with the Project name suffixed with _masters, that way I can always find the Masters if Aperture forgets where they are.
• Eject CF.
• Burn backup copies of the original images to DVDs or to hard drives (optional backup step).
• Eject backup DVDs/hard drives (optional backup step).
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
• Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
I strongly recommend that every Aperture user spend $35 and work through the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in working the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
Good luck!

Need Help Making This Text Effect

Can someone please assist on how I can create this text effect with the thick line surrounding the text phrase at this link?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes I guess that is the way it is done:
 
 
<a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18MgENxFZNBGeizw4wAaWr5Jo6B5vS0" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/18MgENxFZNBGeizw4wAaWr5Jo6B5vS0_thumb.png" border="0" />

<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1Np8mdgE1ZazEbQZjQnP6huKdaL7EJ_thumb.png" border="0" />
 
 That is you make three copies of the text but this time I composed the text as one unit using baseline shift and different type sizes and spacing.
 
 Once I had text they way I wanted it and the three copies I kept one as is, in this case the black version.
 
 I then gave a color to the bottom most and gave it a sufficient Offset path setting to look solid.
 
 So there is now black text and a solid colored background in and expanded shape of the text.
 
 I then outlined the text for the text that had been offset and then used the pathfinder to merge the different paths within that art. That would be the first icon on the top left of the pathfinder panel.
 
 I then gave the text in between and outline twice the weight I wanted the gap to be and no fill and flattened the transparency choosing to outline the strokes.
 
 Then I selected the outlined I just created and the background I created before leaving the
 the outline on top of the background and went back to the pathfinder and chose to minus the front. The second icon on the top left of the panel.
 
 And there you are.
 
 Now I can do a Video or perhaps someone like Mordy will stop by and clean up my explanation as I understand i am often not easy to follow as far as my writing is concerned.
 
 I hope this helps.

Need help creating arraylist

I am trying to help a friend in school with a project and we need some help...
We need to write a program to estimate how much paint is needed to paint a house. Assuming we know the square feet that a gallon of paint covers, number of coats required, and the dimensions of the wall, window, door, or gable.
We are using a GUI to enter the data for the different regions.
We have the GUI created and the hierchy competed. I need some help creating the arraylist to run the program.
The user will enter a new region by selecting:
surface type
width
height
then you will be able to add or insert to include this region in the list.
You will also be able modify, delete, or navigate to existing regions in the list by selecting the appropriate navigigation buttons below:
( |< or < or > or >| )
Classes include:
PaintEstimatorView
PainEstimator Model
Regions:
Wall
Door
Gable
Window
And the Approriate Listners
Each region will have its own height and width which are set when the region is created
Each region will compute and return its area and the walls and gables will contribute to the surface; windows and doors will reduce the surface.
each region will calculate its area.
We need to include a View and Model
The view will manage the interface and the model will provide the necessary processing.
responsibilities of the view:
Instantiate and arrange the windowobjects
instantiate and initialize the model
handle user generated events such as button clicks and menu selections by sending message to the model
represent the model to the user.
Model:
Define and manage the applications data(coordinating the activities of several programmer defined classes)
respond to messages from the view
We have the GUI completed I just need some help getting the arraylist started to run the program.
We will need to keep a count and index of all the regions created by the user and you need to be able to shuffle throught them if you need to delete or modify them. You also need to insert windows and doors which will subtract from the total surface area but you have to go back to which ever wall or gable and create the window or door before or after that region.
If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavnce
