I want to make a simple PhotoBook

I have 50 illustrations I want to turn into a 50 page book, thats it. One illustration (jpg) per page. There has to be an easy way to do this? Help please! I am a beginner, but I looked online and couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help in advance.

I'd recommend that you use Pages instead and save as ePub. Drag the each picture in, center it, add a caption if you want, and insert a page break. When you are finished export as ePub. Using Pages rather than Author gives you the advantage of looking good in portrait mode, having larger pictures, working on different devices. I think this would work well on a simple project like yours. Use author if you want to do more complex things. Another problem is that your project will look awkward in portrait mode if you use Author.

I want to make a simple line chart

i want to make a simple line chart using the data in two nonadjacent columns.
it seems that the easiest way to do this is to export the sheet to google docs and use THEIR charting, which is a two-click deal.
is there an easy way to do this in numbers?
my impression:
numbers:
very fancy, super pretty, easy to modify APPEARANCE, difficult to use actual charts. custom paint job on a junker
googledocs:
available everywhere, basic, more difficult with actual data flexibility, but you can use what you've got.
the whole emphasis on numbers seems to be how pretty i can make displays, but not a lot of emphasis on making it easy to make things work.
can anyone shed some light on how to make this simple instead of pretty?

You can definitely use the technique I mentioned to order the columns to make it easy to chart:
Here I created a table (the top one) to hold the original data and make a second table (the lower one) to pull data into two adjacent columns:
The bottom table, as I said pulls data from the top data table:
Then highlight the data in the table to chart, and selec the chart type from the menu (I suggest the bar chart which is the first item in the chart tool menu):
I made up this data and mean it to be no reflection on your running ability

Want to make a simple form

I have no experience with making forms or using databases or
anything like that.
But all I want to do is make a form where the user can fill
out info in a series of text fields, which gets sent to my email
address when you hit "submit".
Is this easy enough to do? Can i do this just using html?
Is there just a command I need to put somewhere to tell the
form to send as an email?
If it's not that simple, does anyone know of a good tutorial
for this?

There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2 is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing.

Beginner (I want to make a simple button with code)(very basic)

I've had some success with AS3, but so far all the code I've
written just runs once the program starts, and thats it. The code
is attached to the first frame of the flash file.
I want to be able to take the code I've already made, and
stick it into a button, so the code will run every time the button
is pressed, without having to reload the whole program.
Basically all I want to do is make a button that runs the
code:
trace('hi');
every time it is pressed.
Once I have that, I can figure out the rest by my self.
Please help.

Is this button on the stage and in the timeline? If it is,
then select the button on the stage and then, in the Properties
window, give the button an instance name if it doesn't have one
yet.
In a new layer, in the first frame, add this code:
buttonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
buttonUp);
function buttonUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("hi");
substitute the button instance name that you used for
"buttonInstanceName" in the first line.

I want to make a simple image editor by as

I do not have any concept about how to scale the image in the
editor.
For example, when the user clicked one of the image in the
editor then he/she can scale the selected image by mouse just like
the scale function in MS Paint..
thank so much~

Wanting to make a 2 player game to play over the internet

I'm wondering what it would take to create a simple game that could be played by two people over the internet? If you can just explain the process. Would I need to have my own website? Could you point to a link to learn more about the process?
I'm wanting to make a simple dice game that me and my aunt used to play. Should be a pretty simple game without a lot of graphics. I move around so much that it'd be nice if I could make this game playable anywhere for both of us. Thanks.

How can I make a simple slideshow on iDVD?

As opposed to the majority of Apple apps that are "user-friendly" I find using iDVD a very awkward, un-friendly application. It offers "drop zones" without me understanding what I should "drop" into them.
I just want to make a simple DVD of a slideshow with some background music ... nothing fancy. I don't need any theme and I don't need to add any movies.

To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1089
If you want something a bit more sophisticated:
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

Make a simple template

Hello,
I bought the Core Java Server Faces book and I would like to have an environment similar to the examples given in the book.
What I want to do is I want to make very simple templates with only the basic JAR libraries that I don't need yet.
The problem I'm having is setting up Studio Creator for a very basic environment. Is there a way to strip the IDE of the JDBC, UI components so I can work with the core JSF/HTML tags?
In particular, I want to remove the
<ui:link binding="#{Page1.link1}" id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
and the other <ui:/> components from automatically appearing when I try to view the "Design" page.
Is this possible? or sticking to a text editor like vim and gedit the only way to do this?

Get NetBeans from http://www.netbeans.org/.
Java Studio Creator is based on NetBeans, with the addition of advanced features for building web applications. NetBeans is more general purpose, with extensive support for a wide range of Java and related technologies. As your needs become more advanced, see http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/ for more NetBeans based IDE focused on the needs of different developers.

I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything's running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I don't want this!! Is there a way

I loaded Mac OS X v10.7 Lion yesterday. Everything’s running fine, except for a simple problem. Any time I want to copy a file, JPEG, etc., I am prompted “Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.” I don’t want this!! Is there a way to unlock “Finder” or rid this process?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How to make a simple Plugin system?

hey guys, first let me say I see very much hostility here, and I'm not here to annoy anyone, so if you don't feel like answering then simply don't.
I want to design a simple Plugin System for my application. I think what I need is a bit of reassurance and redirection if I'm making wrong assumptions.
here is the stages I see:
1. the system has a HashMap<String,PluginTypeData> that holds types of plugins, and the folder of the application that hold the libraries files for the plugins among other details.
(this would be saved in the application configuration file)
2. once the application starts/on request the system would load the libraries into the memory.
3. in each library there should be a file that holds the textual fully qualified name of the classes that this plugin would require to operate properly.
4. the objects in the library would have to be familiar to the application, therefore they must implement or extend a known base object from the application, and once loaded a reference to that known base object is assigned to the new object.
5. and then if I want to load a GUI component from the plugin I just get it from the reference.
lets start with how does that sound? I would like to get a feed back, just a serious one please, that may help me understand any mistakes I might be doing, and not just to understand that I'm wrong....
Thanks in advance,
Adam Zehavi.
Edited by: Adam-Z. on Dec 19, 2009 12:34 AM

well, English is not my native, so I find it hard to describe, sometimes I feel the lack of words to describe what I want, and I have to take a break, and use a dictionary to find the right word to use, and sometimes these are basic words that I miss so I'm sorry if I'm not clear.
And this will be required for every single plugin in exactly the same way? If not then each plugin should include a factory.Yes, they are all saved the save way, every plugin has a method that create an instance of a basic class J2MeDataChunk.
The types of the data chunks are defined on the J2Me platform and only there.
The reason that they are defined on the J2Me platform is because of the first limitation of the J2Me platform.
1. I cannot import into the build path of the project any external libraries.Therefore in the future when I would like to add more chunk types, I would have to add them into the J2Me project as classes, and not as a jar in the build path, but the plugin would have to refer to the J2Me project and to know which chunk type it is going to edit.
Each plugin knows how to edit a different type of J2MeDataChunk, the data chunks saves them selfs into a data output stream using a serialize method in each of them, and the serialize method is invoked from the plugin itself when the user (me) press the save button.
"produce"? You mean a factory?No, I meant that the object I posted earlier (J2MeDataChunkType) is an object that represent the type of the data chunk for each of the data chunk types, and that there can only be one instance of the object that represent the type of the data chunk, and that single instance of the object that represent the type of the data chunk is the one that can create new instances of that data chunk type, it can create an empty data chunk,or to deserialize the data chunk type using a DataInputStream, and it has an abstract method, that returns Swing component only on the J2Se platform (a class that extends the J2MeDataChunkType object on the J2Se platform that overrides the abstract method for the editing Frame/Panel).
What do you mean "external" libraries? Your code doesn't count right?I mean that a J2Me project cannot import other jar files into its build path, only the classes files that are in the project are known to the complier.
The other two limitations are not limitations at all as far as I can see.well the third one might not be a limitation but it is a pain in the .. S since I have to implement every object I want to serialize myself
but the second one, well, if you don't use the full strength of the 1.5 then you might not miss it, but there are so many elements I miss when programming on J2Me platform... like this one, I don't know how it is called:
class A {
class B extends A {
class C {
A getA() {
// return instance of A
class D extends C{
B getA() { // this is not implementable on J2Me, and I miss this for better implementation of things since I try to integrate my J2Me platform I'm building with J2Se application.
// return instance of B
}moreover I miss enumeration, god I love using the
for(Object o: objectList)very useful very efficient to use...
and how could I leave generics out... wow no generics... terrible oh, and enums, no enums... hell if there were enums on J2Me... life would have been less gray.
so yes I see all this as limitations, it slows me down allot, and it makes my code less readable.
well since I try to build a bridge between the J2Me and J2Se platforms, and since there are some limitation to the J2Me platform* I needed to
define a few things in a few objects, it was possible to make all the data to fit into one object, but it would make that object too heavy for the
J2Me platform (besides I rather having two objects it felt more OOD right way to do), where one is a type definer that can produce only one
instance of this object although it is inheritable,
Memory in terms of the class or the instance? If the instance then it doesn't have much to do with this discussion. If the class then that impacts >your design because with a limited memory size and large impact then unloading might come up - and that requires a class loader.well this design actually adds an extra class for each type I decide to add to my platform although at the end I intend to join all the objects that represent the type of the data chunk into one object only on the J2Me platform which would actually add only one class to the memory on the phone, it is just easier for me to see things clearer now as I design this bridge application between the platforms, besides it allows maximum flexibility to create new types of chunks, and that was my main aim, to make as many types to be saved on files that I can transfer via a wireless onto the phone and the platform on the phone would know exactly what to use them the data chunks for with out any user intervention.
as for instances, this way I reduce the memory each of the chunks would use and in the total calculation it would improve memory usage while creating objects from these chunks.
Presumably you are managing the data items because the base class is going to provide functionality relevant to them.Right, the base class is the most common ground I could find for all the chunks together.
Presuming that each "type" really is a type (say you have 4 interfaces any of which might be implemented) then you would need the following in
a configuration file for each entry.
1. Type of the implemented class.
2. Full name of the implemented class
3. Full name of the GUI dialog object.
4. Optional Name of this entry. I suggest this as it allows you to report errors using this name rather than plugin class names
Per your requirements there is no path nor jar is needed nor can be specified.well I hope that by now you did get that I generalized all the data chunk types that I created into one basic object which I posted earlier, this object handles everything, and the plugin main object would be design on the J2Se platform and would extend that J2MeDataChunkType class and it would return the Swing frame/panel when the J2Se application calls the getPanel method and an empty chunk on the getDataChunk() method.
well, in my case it would extend an abstract class from the J2Me platform, maybe two object I'm still thinking about a better implementation >> so the plugin would be more simple, consist of only one object, that needs to be loaded.It shouldn't matter to you how the class is implemented.But of course it does, I want to make my life as simple as possible when I implement new plugins, having one object with abstract method, that when I extend it Eclipse would automatically add the abstract method for me to implement, and just a short glimpse at another implementation of the plugin would let me design another plugin in seconds.(with out making the GUI for the data chunk editing obviously).
I think I got my head around this, especially now that it feels like I could explain what I'm making better in words.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posts, I see you currently have 37k post so I guess you are a very quick typer, yet you take the time to try and understand my design. Thank you.

I want to make a copy of all my pictures in iPhoto

while working on a photo book my events, 242 of them, all got mixed in just several big events. I have been trying to create new events mostly of our trips but sometimes the event will appear and sometimes not. The event will show but with no pictures. I want to try the iphoto first aid but want to make a backup picture file off site first. Do I copy the masters or original files.

Neither. You back up the whole Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

I want to make a picture transparency in Aperture 3.4.3

I have a picture in Photoshop CS6 and with transparency and saved in PSD.
I have also tried with TIFF, PNG etc. and set layer/file to save in transparency.
The Aperture shows the picture before import without background, but when I try to import it it got a black or white background.
Is it possible to use transparency?
I want to make a photobook for print at Apple, and some of the pictures on some pages need to be transparent.
Maybe best solution is to make all in InDesign+Photoshop and send it to press ?
But I liked Aperture way to make easy printable books.

Hi Mr. Jordfald.
What Frank said:
Aperture will preserve the alpha channel in an image but will not create one or work with it within Aperture.
does not indicate that you cannot use Originals that have an alpha channel in Aperture. Afaik -- and you should test this yourself -- if you assign an Image with an Alpha channel to a book, and print the book, the Alpha channel will be used in the printed book.
That isn't the workflow we would all like, but the compromise should work (again, afaik -- please confirm). Whether it is worth it for you, only you can decide.
