IDE is invisible!

When I launch Sun ONE Studio the splash screen comes up for a few seconds, then it vanishes. I get a tab for Sun ONE Studio on my taskbar but clicking on it does nothing. So I can't actually see the IDE!
I've had Sun ONE Studio for a few weeks and it's been working fine. Today it started doing this. I've used System Restore (in Windows XP) to set the system back to yesterday, when it was all fine. I've also re-installed the IDE by downloading the latest .exe file, but that makes no difference. Any help would be appreicated as I can't actually use the IDE at all now and am having to write my Java code in Notepad and run it using the command line.

I just installed Sun One 4.1 and having the same problem.
I was in Studio and test my program then I switch to different application. ANd I switch back to Sun Studio. It is blank. I install Community version. Nothing works.
I have window XP. Did you get it working?

*** ~ The Invisible Problem: Video As The Best Medium For Most Things ~ ***
Do you know how to learn? I don't think you do. Because we've all learned the same way. From school. The broken school system that we all know, and that some are reinventing.
Let's elaborate. When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
~ Hard Words ~
What I mean by the invisible? Take 1+1. That's arithmetic, a branch of mathematics. That's invisible. We don't know what 1 is. What don't know what 1 means. It's just a line that goes up and down on the right wall in a cave of a caveman's drawing.
Until, of course, some inventive educators (not necessarily the traditional concept of "teachers") decides upon themselves, and say, "Hey let's show what 1 means. These 1st graders doesn't understand what 1 means. Here's 1 apple, and here's another apple. 1+1. We've shown it. Then we're golden.
That's what seems to be invisible, but is not. Is it? Of course the idea is invisible. 1 does not designate 1 apple. Clearly 1, as a concept/idea, is invisible. 1 is "1 of a unit". But a unit could be anything. How do you really define a unit? Not all units are physical objects. And if they aren't physical, you cannot show it, on a physical level.
So, that's a little bit about what I mean by the invisible.
~ Love, as invisible ~
You can show love to someone. You can hug them. But you can still show things, in a physical way, when the idea/thing, love, is still invisible. Love is an emotion. Emotions are invisible. You can draw it, and symbolise an emotion. But is never truly what the emotion IS. You can show something invisible by representation. As a concept, the idea is still invisible.
How do you explain things that are invisible to someone? Like love. Really? I've no idea. I'm sure someone far smarter and knowledgeable would though.
The emotion is in the neuroscience of our "mind". So until neuroscience, as a scholarly field, advances where they can show in the brain via an MR or whatever machine/device they use. Then they can show emotions. Or maybe they cannot, and emotions are more complicated than that. And they would need to explain how an emotion like love works via no more than mere words.
I'm sure there's a more academic word for the "the invisible", in this linguistic sense. Not sure what field of study, or more likely, what fields of study, this would be categorised under. Categorised wrongly, obviously, as that's how all categories/genres are.
But I'll run across it one day.
~ What I say again? ~
So what did I say again? When learning anything (that isn't invisible), we don't need to know awkward, confusing, and strange words. That do not mean anything, in and of itself.
So these words.
First of all, why do we need words? To communicate with one another. But I said we don't need words when talking about things that aren't invisible. You may ask, "Well then, how can we communicate with one another without words?"
Images. Moving images. Like video.
A little bit of words, when necessary, help though.
So let's rephrase. We don't need complicated words. That doesn't mean anything.
Nonverbal communication accounts for safely 90% of the message.
How poorly designed text, as a communication medium, really is. We need to understand that.
~ Origins Of Stuff & Histories ~
If it's so bad, why do we use words, on topics that video can do far better?
Like much of what is wrong with the world, they stem from the outdated past. During a time period where that was the best option, and the best invention, humanity could make -- for the times -- for the times, I repeat.
~ The Video Age ~
Today, we live in a video-dominated age. When did video first start? Recently when the Web became more developed? Of course not, they had films back then if you really think about it.
~ Teachers: People That Speak Words ~
So teachers are like a video, only worst due to less flexibility in what you can do (if they were a software, they lack of many features)
But better in the way that they can give immediate feedback. That two-way system that video (premade videos only) doesn't have. Live video is an example of videos that aren't premade. Combining video with a live person is another example. I'm sure there are more.
But teachers are basing their teaching on the textbook, and little to none from their own base of knowledge, and any of that base of knowledge would've been from textbooks anyway.
~ The Video Age ~
If video is really so good, we doesn't everyone use it??
You know what? They do. The proportionally few good ones that is. You haven't gotten around? Live in that caveman's cave?
~ Pixels ~
Pixels, that topic, is a great example of how clearly video is the best medium ever to show. We don't need representation of words to confuse and clutter the physical objects that these digital objects and button are.
Video is the best medium, at this current point in time, to teach/show anything related to pixels. This could be photoshop, or whatever.
~ Results ~
So we live in this world where we now have video. But so much of society is outdated. With outdated practises.
I hate words when we don't need them When there is better mediums to communicate 100x more effectively than words ever could.
You fail to see how significant 100x really is. How many orders of a magnitude is that anyway? I don't know. I don't know enough.
You also fail to see how much of what was said is about invisible, highly abstract, things/ideas. And some things aren't. So which ones were the things I could've shown far better in video, or maybe everything could've expressed better on video?
Video = moving images + still images like diagrams, slides with charts & infographics + sounds (like music, etc.) + maybe words +
~ Ends ~
Look, the point is that words are bad in so many ways. SO. MANY. WAYS. I shouldn't have to say it any more than once if you actually knew how to learn. I shouldn't have to say it -- at all -- if you knew at this moment how to learn. And you need to understand that. That words are bad in SO MANY WAYS. And to stop using them. Especially when you're trying to teach (or give answers, solutions, etc.)
Words are easier, sometimes, though. So that could be why I'm using it.
I'm not using complicated words though. And this was about complicated, strange, and meaningless words. So get that straight.

MMS - invisible mmsc settings

Hi,
is there any procedure how to unlock invisible mmsc setting on Z10? I bought unlocked Z10, using provider O2 Czech Republic, every services work fine except mms (unable to sent/receive). When I go: Text message/Options/Text messages/MMS/Advanced - I can see only this setting:
SMS (Allow Special Characters, Service Center Address, Routing Preference, Send Text..., Retries)
APN Settings - this is visible but locked (APN = mms, Username=null, Password= null)
MMSC - unvisible!!??
Any idea how to unlock it?

I gave up in the end after 6 weeks of constantly trying. I wrote to Vodafone CEO office and had a reply very quickly. They agreed to me returning the Z10 and re-instating my contract to before my last upgrade which has allowed me to choose a different phone.
Shame really as the Z10 is a beautiful phone

Mac mini and 52" TV monitor -- menu bars invisible

Last summer I bought a mac mini for my Samsung 22" TV/DVI monitor. The mini immediately recognized the TV as a specific DVI monitor and all was well.
The only problem was the monitor was smaller than my iMac screen. A bigger TV was inevitable. We eventually moved, and the idea of using binoculars to watch TV held little appeal, so I bought a 52" Samsung.
I bought a DVI to HDMI cable, as this TV had no DVI input (unlike the 22" combo TV/DVI monitor) and the mini recognizes it generically as "Samsung" and chooses "1080p" for the monitor resolution. (I assume this is preferred to 1080i, even though the refresh rate is slower?).
I want to use this both as a "Front Row" interface for iTunes movies, etc, and as a conventional monitor for when I want to do computery things.
The menu bar (as well as the bottom of the dock) are invisible. They are there when I remotely display the screen, so I think they might just be hidden by the frame. Is there a viable workaround? Of the 15 or so possible resolutions, exactly one shows the menu bar, but at the expense of lower resolution and terrible color balance (oddly, if I rotate the image 180° in Display System Preferences, the color looks ok).
Also, while I am at it, what is the optimal way to export audio from the mac mini into a stereo input? Right now I am using the headphone jack, and it sounds ok, but I suspect there might be a much better way.

I've been having this same problem! My Mini plugged into my 42" HDTV (via DVI to HDMI adapter, with Overscan enabled) has the desktop overflowing the screen on all four sides. With Overscan disabled, the desktop is too small and has a black band on all four sides.
Now, I know the Nvidia GPU can scale/stretch the display for external displays, I had to do it with my Vista laptop. So, how do I do the same thing on my Mini?
I've called tech support, but I had no luck. The first guy would only say 'You can't do anything else.' and hung up when I asked for someone else. The second guy didn't even understand the issue.

How do I find and delete invisible files?

What is going on?
How do I clear out "invisible file" if that's what's taking up the 20 gigs?
How do I prevent this from happening again?
Please advise.
Thank you.
I have a MBPRO 2.26 running OSX 10.6.8

Thanks so much for your response.
Do you have any idea why there are 20 GB unaccounted for?
My hard drive seems to fill itself up continouously...I'd like to figure that one out.
Yes...Getting a larger HD is a great idea.
Does having a large HD impair performance?

How can I remove a doubly-invisible file?

My external drive has a 28GB invisible file on it called "Volume Catalog Info". The finder says the disk is full, but won't reveal the file, even with all files made visible.
The way I found the monster file was using DiskSurveyor 2.5 under Classic. I'd think it was imagining things, except that the Finder agrees that the disk is full. My 2 folders on the drive (no system files) add up to the same 28GB short of the size of the disk. I made all files visible using Terminal ("defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1") but besides the 2 folders mentined, there's nothing new shown of any size, only the following: Desktop DB 16KB, .DS_Store 8KB .TemporaryItems folder 8KB, Desktop DF 4KB, and .Spotlight-V100, .Trashes, Desktop, and Desktop Folder, all at Zero KB.
Since Terminal doesn't reveal the file either, how can I remove it?
Thanks!

I appreciate the help and think this may have been a case of operator error. In searching the web I found someone with the same problem, but I now think I had the wrong idea of my actual disk size! So DiskSurveyor showed this mega-file, but just as a side-effect of its being an OS9 program. No mega-file, nothing to delete, red face.

HP ProBook 450 G1 flawless memory upgrade, yet displays invisible SPD/voltage.

So I opted to double my memory after buying this from MicroCenter (the i5 version) and saw it used DDR3L low-latency RAM, so I specifically found the identical brand (crucial) and DDR3L make (also identical) and now have 16GB of dual channel RAM; no errors booting up, no issues within the BIOS, however it seems the RAM I so meticulously purchased and installed has decided to be invisible as far as the rest of my computer is concerned. I believe I had read similar scenarios such as this in the past but none related to my make/model, or at least not without an error. Here's what I'm seeing, both from Speccy and CPU-Z: And Speccy is even more confused: So ... HP, or any forum-goers: any thoughts or ideas? I'd like to have this piece of my machine's identity back, and am unsure of any adverse effects this may cause as well. I haven't bothered benchmarking anything to find out and am erring on the side of caution by consulting the masses first. Thanks in advance, Tristatris[at]aol.com

I can't argue with that, what with the level of degree I myself am stumped at. I don't truly believe it affects performance any, but I can't help but feel disconcerted seeing those empty fields. I do appreciate the response, it confirms some of my suspicions due to how little sense this truly makes. Thanks much. Ayashi

Any ideas on a cover for the n97?

Hi all
I have a plastic hard case for my n97 at the minute off ebay but that has cracked and broken.
Instead of getting a new one can anybody give any good advice for a film like cover similar to the invisible shield?
I don't like the idea of having to wet the invisible shield to attach it so any alternatives would be great!
Cheers

Hi,I have Martin Fields screen protector on my screen, but many others available, invisible shield gets rave reviews, but there are many others, you tend to find that you get what you pay for. Just about all will work, but more money will get you something that will last longer. As for wetting the phone, you don't exactly run it under a tap, it's simply easier to apply adhesive vynal if its slightly moist, as the glue doesn't bond as quickly and you've got more chance to adjust it.
Only other advice I can give, is take your time when fitting, carefully position screen cover before applying any pressure, and make sure that everything is as clean and dust free as possible, wash your hands and the surface your working on and clean the phone screen thoroughly'
Good Luck

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. A large chunk of emails have disappeared. Time Machine is no help. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

All ok for 64 bit apps, printer INVISIBLE to 32 bit apps

Hello,
I'm running Win7Pro64SP1 on a Z800 workstation, and recently had a partial disk crash in which a few sectors went into oblivion - after disk repair etc. and a few reinstalls, most everything came back ok, but here and there I still do stumble on a corrupted dll that needs replacement.
Today I saw that Adobe Reader was unable to print on my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus, which is on the ethernet LAN. Never had a problem with Reader before... so I reinstalled everything for Reader but to no avail, even though Wordpad prints without a glitch and I can scan with the printer (i.e. communication with it is not an issue). So I installed the latest All-In-One driver for the printer... but still no success. Then I run the "HP Print and Scan Doctor" application which told me that everything was absolutely FINE... except that when I tried to print the test page, nothing came out from the printer. But the "Doctor" gave me the opportunity to print an "Internal test page"... and that one printed ok!!
Then I noticed this: each time I tried to print from a 64bit application (like Wordpad), everything went fine... but for 32bit applications (e.g. Adobe Reader) the printer is invisible! We are in software development business and have 32 and 64 bit versions of everything we do, so I tried to print from one of our software in Java: the 64bit version printed ok, but the 32bit version of exactly the same jar just gave me
java.awt.print.PrinterException: No printer found.
So clearly, (1) the printer is ok, (2) the communication with it is ok, but (3) the printer "doesn't exist" in 32 bits, although it is fine in 64 bits! So I obviously tried to install at least the basic 32bit drivers for the printer... but was adviced to install the 64bit version instead (which I already did, with succes).
I know that drivers (like printer drivers) are dlls, and that you can't mix different bitness in the same image, but given the number of applications that still exist in 32 bits only, I thought that the 64bit All-In-One installer (OJ8600_1315.exe) would install both 63 AND 32 bit drivers??
Any idea on how I can make 32bit apps aware of the printer, too?
Many thanks for your advice!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I SOVED it:
- deleted the printer and then reinstalled it specifying "I will connect LATER". I don't know whether this installed the driver locally, but probably so: I was able to print the Test Page
- then I scouted the Net for posts about similar problems, and found that many people had the 32 bit spooler (splwow64.exe) crashing... so I checked where that file was on another Win7 machine, and found it's in CWindows... whether on my machine the file wasn't there! It must have disappeared in the crash...
- I copied splwow64.exe from the other machine to C:\Windows, and everything works fine again in both 32 and 64 bits
Conclusion: the spoolers are not the same for printing from 32 and 64 bit applications, check both. Hope this may help some of you.

How do I make a JTextArea invisible to the mouse?

Consider the applet below. There is a small JTextArea sitting in the glass pane. There are 3 JButtons sitting in a JPanel that is sitting in the content pane. One is completely under the JTextArea, one is half in and half out, & the last is completely outside it (at least I hope thats what it looks like on your machine.) The idea is when you click the disable button the JTextArea is disabled and you can click on the button that's underneath it.
But it doesn't work that way. even when the JTextArea is disabled the mouse still cant click through it.
Is there some way to make the JTextArea completely invisible to the mouse so I can click through it? I know setVisible(false) on the glass panel will work but I only want it to be invisible to the mouse, not my eyes.

How to put some tabs in sales order item level invisible mode

Hello Gurus ,
Good evening everybody ,
We have some specific requirement from the client - Client does n't want few end users to see the price details in sales so they want the condition tab to be invisible mode in sales order item lvel only for few users i.e the condition tab should not be displayed for that user is this possible ?
Note : I only have idea setting few fields in sales order but not tabs in sales order through screen variant -SHD0
Looking for your inputs
Thanks and regards
Venkat

Hi,
There are a couple of options you can go with.
1) You can use Transaction and Screen variants to create your own ZVariant and then put that to user profile. Allow the user to run only with the variant you setup for the user via authorizations.
2) Get GUIXT software by Synactive, to perform the above task for you.
3) If you happen to have latest version of SAP ECC i.e. 6.0 with EHP3 or above, you can go with NWBC (Netweaver Business Client).
Thanks

Problems in at selection-screen output - setting pushbutton invisible

Hello,
I hope I can get some help here
I have a problem with setting a pushbutton invisible
i have a field (long-text) in my screen - and behind this a pushbutton for calling the editor
if in a variant the parameters field is set invisible i also want to set the pushbutton invisible
i have no idea why in the at selection-screen output event screen-invisible is always 0 - but in the variant the field is set invisible.
i need to know if the parameters field is invisible to set the pushbutton the same

Thanks very much...

I agree - there seems to be some confusion here. In the variant the field can only be "hidden" while in the code it is possible to make the field completely invisible. 'Hiding' the field in the variant merely hides it by default and adds a 'plus' button to the toolbar, by clicking which the hidden elements can be exposed.
As far as changing the screen fields goes, I find it usefull to use MODIF ID. Perhaps this blog could be helpful:

After a backup all music files are invisible and iTunes don't see anything

Hi,
I got a very strange problem and I'm really lost.
I made a backup of my portable iTunes libray (using a 160 GB Maxtor one touch 4 mini usb) on another backup disk (750 GB Maxtor onetouch III firwire 800). I have my library on a external disk to safe disk space on my MacBook Pro disk. For the back up I use the software Personal Backu4 of Intego Software. The 160GB iTunes disk is Formatted als Mac OS Extended format.
Now all back up data that aren't music files (AAC or MP3 files) was correctly back up, but all music files was like deleted, all artist > album folders looks empty. But, cheking with the disk utility it looks that all files exist and the Used space (36.06 GB) looks correctly and the numbers of files too (some 5942 files). But all files are invisible, folders looks empty. Now is looks that all purchased and CD imported int my library didn't exist anymore: and this in BOTH disks, side by side is the same situation.
How I can come out from this situation, I really don't have any idea how to coming out fron this sad situation.
Hany help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.

Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD. The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases. I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive. We have a new 3 TB time Capsule. Any ideas?

Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD. The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases. I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive. We have a new 3 TB time Capsule. I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference. I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail. Any ideas?

When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB. The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely. The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
See A10 here.
Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.

IDE is invisible!
