So far, so good, and welcome to AppleScript - you could save yourself a little typing by using a timeout with your first dialog and building the URLs with your zip code (I just looked at the URL bar):
display dialog "Daily morning routine will now open" giving up after 4
set ZipCode to "95014" -- change as needed
open location "http://www.weather.com/weather/local/" & ZipCode & "?lswe=" & ZipCode & "&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared&from=whatwhere"

Hi! i have a macbook pro 3.1 with a 10.6.8 version. I want a 10.7 but i dont want any speed problems, what do you think?

Hi! i have a macbook pro 3.1 with core 2 duo, 3gb ram and a 10.6.8 version. I want a 10.7 version but i dont want any speed problems, what do you think?

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

The app "GetTube" on my mac book pro do not alow me to download any more. What might you think is the problem?

I have been using "GetTube" for a while and "MacTube" and none will download any
more video on my mac. Anyone know what might be the problem?

It very well may not be the charger. try cleaning out the connection on the notebook and the end of the charger lead. The port on the computer is magnetic and can collect metal/magnetic debris which would cause the charger lead to not connect properly. Especially since you say it doesn't seem as tight as it was when new.
Moving the lead wire will also move the end in the socket making or breaking the connection.
After you try cleaning both ends and it still happens then you will need to take both in.

Any good article about reference variables casting ...

Hi,
I am looking for a good and simple article on the reference variables downcasting (and yes I am searching the Internet too so please do not suggest that).
Please let me know if you know of any good article or if you can explain it well as I am having hard time to figure out when it is right and when it is used incorrectly.
Thanks,
Pritchard

Casting conversions are "right" when you need a reference of the particular type AND the underlying object is type-compatible with the declared variable.
"Downcasting" example:
Object o = new Object();
String s = (String) o; // BAD! The underlying object is not an instance of String
Object o = "foo";
String s = (String) o; // Okay.~

Does anyone know what programme i can use as iDVD is not on my mac. I want to make a DVD from a movie created on iMovie? Is Burn any good? and if so, can I get it free?

Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie? There is no iDVD on my mac. Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
Thanks.

There is no iDVD on my mac.
There is NO alternative. But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK. Buy here:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
Is Burn any good?
iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

Need to change my Apple ID to a gmail address in preparation for a move outside the US. When I did this, it did not change in iCloud and I have not been able to determine how to change this ID in iCloud for either my Mac or iPad? I had to revert to my old ID which will not be any good in a few weeks. Does anyone know how to make the iCloud settings changes?

Is 24" iMac really any good?

I know this is a vague question but hang with me.
I am about to buy a 24" iMac and decided to look on these forums first to check if there are any problems with them.
I have now read all sorts of horror stories regarding the screen (too bright/dead pixels/dark corners/etc...) Various problems with humming and misc noises coming from inside the Mac, and issues with audio quality output.
One of the main reasons for going for a new machine is Boot Camp. Now having read the Boot Camp forum it seems the 24 incher just won't work at all with the latest beta of Boot Camp.
Can I start a straw poll of owners with new 24" iMacs - are they any good? Are you happy with them? Is it the fact that we only heaar about the duff ones on these forums, or is it that a large percentage are inferior/faulty/unsatisfactory.
Your thoughts/recommendations/experiences would be welcomed.
Thanks

I was going to post a new topic with this but I will post it here instead.
I am on my second iMac in as many weeks, but this one is two hours old and it I am yet to find a fault with it.
My first iMac had a single green stuck pixel, I called apple and they replaced it and where very good.
I collected my new one about 3 hours ago from TNT and got it home. Took it out the box and notice the packaging was damaged and thought Oh god here we go...
Turnt it on and spent 5 minutes looking at every single pixel on the display then I saw a single black dot.. luckily it was just a bit of dust!
I booted it up, had trouble with setting up the keyboard, it just didnt work first time, But I got over that. Mouse was a doddle to set up! (both wireless)
Now it is just working perfectly! Wireless is working great, iSight and Photobooth are fantastic! (I love the effects!!) The speakers are VERY good for a device that is so thin!
I am yet to try a movie or DVD at the moment I am just playing with it, getting it configured and what not.
There are dark corners on the display, but its really nothing to worry about. You dont really notice them, you just need to look really hard to find them.
There is also a very important factor which many over look. It smells nice!!
They keyboard is great, quiet and responsive, its white and I am a little scared of making it dirty!! it just looks so good. The mouse is a little heavy but I am just used to using a decent gaming mouse from my pc which is very light.
Overall when you get a proper working one it works great, peforms fast and does exactly what it says on the tin.
I dont get the so called brightness buzz, if I do, the noise from my PC is overpowering it and stopping me from hearing it so its really nothing to worry about.
I was worried about the problems described here when I ordered but the thing is, this is a user support forum, IE the only people who are going to post are the ones with problems. If you get your mac and your not happy then call Apple as soon as possible and they will do every effort to ensure they get it fixed!

MSI DR16-B DVD-RW Drive, any good?

Is this drive any good? I like MSI technology, i have an MSI motherboard, an MSI graphics card and an MSI CD-RW drive, i want to purchase two of these MSI DR16-B DVD-RW drives for a new system i'm building.

Hi Commander Sinclair
Babylon 5 is the greatest sci-fi show ever! "Sooner or later, everyone comes to Babylon 5."
Have a look to this site for more detailed info and hints about a DVD writer (http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2260). As they say, "setting a booktype (bitsetting) is just the process of telling your burner to convert a DVD+R disc "virtually" into a DVD-ROM instead. This feature is important for some people who have older set-top DVD players that cannot recognize the "bit" that determines what type of DVD media is sitting in the drive". Many just don't care, but if movies are your first goal, well, maybe you'll find it an interesting option.
And yes, you're right: much better not to mess with firmwares. Anyway, don't worry too much: I can burn and play my favourite movies even with my not-so-up-to-date DRA-8.
Stay tuned.

Ah, a Babylon 5 fan, excellent, thanks for the post, i'm not interested in flashing the firmware and i don't know what this booktype thing is, all i want to do is burn DVD's but i guess with all the advancements in technology, it won't be as simple as that.
Thanks Ambassador G'Kar (i know it's not the name you're using) :D

My phone is stuck between off and on. It has a white, slash circle going around and around. The button on top doesn't seem to do any good. The phone is only 31 days old. Please write back, I can't use it to even call in an emergency. Thank you

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

First movie download report...

Yesterday I successfully downloaded my first movie from iTunes directly to my HD and this evening we watched it on my 40" Sony. I was very impressed with the quality of the video considering the source.
My hardware for this was a MacBook with 4MB. I purchased a mini DVI->DVI cord at my local Mac store for $20. I mated this cord to a DVI->HDMI cord which I inserted into my open HDMI port. For sound I bought a 6' 1/8" stereo jack->L/R RCA plug which went into the same port as the HDMI. To my eye, the video looked at least DVR quality and perhaps slightly better.
My TV has 3 HDMI ports and I'm now maxed out with my cable, Blu-Ray and MacBook inputs. Anyone considering buying a flat screen should strongly consider getting one with at least 3 HDMI ports.
Re the performance of my MacBook, I started with a nearly full battery. When the movie ended (around 2 hours), I only had about 15 minutes left on the battery gauge. Normally I get between 4-5 hours of play. The hard drive ran continually while the movie was running. I wasn't able to figure out how to turn the screen off on my MacBook. So, lighting that screen had to "eat" some battery. I read somewhere that the laptop screen could be closed when using an alternate video screen, but when I tried that, the computer went into sleep mode and stopped the movie.
For those of you that might be interested in trying this, Apple also sells a mini DVI-> VGA or to S-video or to A/V video. They all cost $20.
This whole thing was an experiment as I will be buying an Apple TV unit in a couple of weeks. Still, it's nice to know that movies can be played in this manner. Also, I was impressed with viewing pictures in this manner. Even my Excel spreadsheets were very easy to read. This mini DVI output will certainly get some use from me in the future.

Hi,
LOAD-OF-PROGRAM is the first event triggered but it is internal event.
This event keyword defines an event block whose event is triggered by the ABAP-runtime environment when an executable program, a module pool, a function group or a sub-routine pool is loaded in the internal session.
INTIALIZATION is the first report event get triggerd.
This event keyword defines an event block whose event is triggered by the ABAP runtime environment during the flow of an executable program, directly after LOAD-OF-PROGRAM and before the selection screen processing of any existing standard selection screen. This gives you the one-time opportunity to initialize the input fields of the selection screen, including those defined in the logical database linked with the program.

Sankar

Why does only the first movement of a symphony play?

I have all of Mahler's symphonies on Itunes. I try to play them on my Ipod and the first movement of each symphony plays and then it shuts off as if the album is done. Any ideas what I did in loading these CDs onto Itunes that could cause this?
In case you're wondering:
Each symphony is listed as an album, with each movement as a track of that album. The disk of symphony #1 says "disk 1 of 13". Part of a compliation: No. Include when shuffling: No.
Thanks for any help.

The Apple guy told me yesterday that you have to RECORD it first.
Start from the first slide and go thru all of them.
Then they will playback.

Are There Any Good Windows Store Apps For Managing AD Users?

I'm thinking of buying the $79 HP Stream 7 tablets (1GB RAM 16GB storage) and using them as pocket computers to manage AD users while walking about.
We could simply run Remote Desktop to access our workstations and use RSAT tools, but it would be nicer if there was a touch friendly interface we could use on a 7 inch screen to easily do tasks such unlock and reset user passwords without dealing with remote
controlling another PC through the tiny desktop UI.

> Very sad and embarassing for Microsoft that they don't have any touch
> based RSAT tools and third party developers don't bother to make them

Move from OnPremise to O365 and you will have an admin app at hand... I
cannot imagine what administrative tasks in active directory I would
need to be able to execute on a mobile device...

Are there any good black box testing tools for j2me?

Is there any good testing tools available for testing software on physical mobile devices?
I would like to partially replace manual testing with automated testing using a test tool. It should work on physical devices, and with the help of a script it should be possible to execute predefined sequences of button pressings on the device. Preferably there should also be some way of deciding whether the test was a succes without having to do so entirely manually.
The purpose with this would be to make it easier to go through the test protocols, which has to be done before every new software release.
Deviceanywhere.com looks promising at first glance but it is rather costly. Still, does anyone have an opinion of it?
Does anyone has experience of Mobile junit for this kind of testing? Is it possible to define series of physical button pressings with it? At first glance it doesn't seem so.

You can collect the Organizational Health in Exchange 2010 console for Exchange 2003/2007/2010 and that will list very useful information about statistics in your organization like servers, databases, CALs, recipient, feature used etc...
Collect Organizational Health Data -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351156%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
However it doesn't contain any configuration information and that you need to collect it manually because that depends on needs of each organization and how they want to setup their infrastructure...

First Movie--how do I get it to my website so it works for others?

Ok, have my first movie, and I'm at a loss on how to get it to my website (embedded, preferably).
Seems like I can see it:
* accessing it directly/downloading it and playing (it wants to open in itunes)
*or using quicktime's embedding code in an html page.
(seems creepy to be calling up scripts from apple for a movie on my website though)
*Or, using some ancient simplistic embedding code.
However, I'm the only one that can actually see it! And only on THIS machine (MacBook Pro 17/2.66/10.5.8, iMovie 8.0.4) My windows friends aren't able to see a thing.
I've tried kicking it out as a quicktime .mov and an .m4v
I think I tried .avi output which made it far worse to view and tripled the file size. Didn't bother to upload that one.
So I'm kinda lost. It's been a long time since I did anything with movies and getting the file size to accommodate dial-up back then was the biggest obstacle.
Presently, I have an .m4v file that seems "acceptable", it's 25mb though and I'd rather not output it to be any larger (filesize). (Smaller is better, if possible). In all truth, only 3 people need to see this particular movie, but hopefully I'll learn something here for other projects in the future.
Given all that, where do I proceed from here?
What output file type would be best for my "windows friends"?
What option to select... export? export using QT? Sharing? I'm lost!
I am certain I don't even know the right questions to ask here, but thought I'd give it a shot.
Thanks in advance!
