this was the greeting when i logged in some minutes ago ... this brings me to another thinking: the only thing archlinux cannot support are "bluescreens of death" (those, who changed totally to non-windows-os and forgot: = the nice screens that apear when your (windows)kernel is in panic) ... well, you can simulate simmilar things with fortune
to the subject:
i wanted to install a 3rd OS on my notebook (besides the 2GBwinXP and arch), after removing finally SuSE 8.2 --- now, arch is my prime OS, winXP is kept only because of compatibility --- when someone wants to do something only a windows is able to (e.g. to crash the OS when you dont expect it to crash --- while clicking the most important button on such an OS ).
Now the thing is: i wanted to install something totally new (like i did about a year ago with arch while using SuSE) just to try to enhance the possibilities you can have with a A31p-Thinkpad (the 4kg must be worth something) --- i was searching on the internet for long, but i cant find anything better than arch (for my needs = stability, easy upgrade, clean /etc, latest packages, easy way to build packages, package-management with dependences-tracking)
gentoo --- maybe when it becomes mature, great docs!
sourcer --- maybe when it becomes mature, and cleans up
slackware --- not modern enough, but my favourite for years
SuSE --- >7.1pro are not longer "linux", sorry (but great package-repository)
RedHat --- Toys are nice, but this is not an OS, sorry
Mandrake --- very nice installer (i wish i have such a installer on archlinux --- not the GUI, but the possibilities (NTFS- resizing, ...)), but the system is to much "newbie-like" planed
FreeBSD --- the logo is ok, the system not up-to-date
i tried to build a generic, source-driven, linux (do it your self - linux), but the dependences make you crazy after the first weekend :-)
-> i'm going to install a 2nd arch on this drive ... it will become the backup-system
-> if someone can tell me another linux distro i should try i didnt already ... i'm hearing...

What do you mean by this? I just scrapped a working up-to-date FreeBSD install for Arch Linux. In my opinion the only thing FreeBSD was missing was good browser plugins and a good jdk.
Jeff
-> JDK is too old (as you also saw)
-> some hardware are not supported (i cant watch TV over my USB-Hauppauge-card :-( ) ... the linux-kernel is better from this point of view
as i need JDK 1.4 and sometimes i like watching tv, it's not a big desicion, not to use FreeBSD

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.
Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?
I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives. -
I recently upgraded from OS 10.5 on a PowerMac G5 to an early Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.5. To my consternation, I now find that my scroll wheel operates backwards from what I'm used to. Did Apple make a change that caused that? Is there any way around this?
Apple didn't make this easy, did they! When Lion first came out, I think that check box was under the Trackpad heading of the System Preferences, whether you actually had a trackpad or not. I take it there's nothing there, either?
I plugged a plain ol' three button Logitech mouse into the iMac, and while the Mouse panel options did change some, the same check box for Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating was there. -

SetPropertyListener - is there a better alternative
Hi Guys - would love some advice here....
11g Jdev...
Use case is that I am populating an update / create form from a VO by using set property listener operation and placing the selected row into a pageFlowScope variable. I do this, because I then use the pageFlowScope variables to call an external PL/SQL method through a managed bean.
My issue is that I have over 30 paramaters and this means 30 set property listeners. Is there a better method to do this? Through a managed bean I assume? But could any body provide pointers as to what I need to do if this is the case? Ie a getter and setter method for each parameter?
Cheers,
SimonHi there Timo,
Yes - the use case is quite simple, I just get caught with the wrong words sometimes...
Basically, I have a VO displaying Read Only field values. After clicking 'Update' I currently pass the logic to a popup, which at the moment, is displaying blank input fields bound to the transient attributes. This works fantasic. I was thinking about having these pre-populated with the 'old' value (just trying to save screen space). However I can see the merit in possible displaying the old value (read only) next to the blank updatable fields, which will be used as inputs to my update procedure.
Based upon your last response, it looks as if I may simply be able to force the system generated VO attributes to 'updateable always', and although nothing will happen from a Jdev-as-standard-perspective, I can grab the updated values from my RowImpl class, and call the method that way... I haven't got to the stage just yet with experimenting here, however all approaches to seem viable at this stage seem worth investigating....
Thanks again for your help and interest.
Cheers,

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
Security settings changing. Is there a work around?
Hello,
I work for a "Company" that has ten's of thousands computers loaded with the latest version of Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately when we create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro it cannot be signed by anyone using Adobe Reader X. Some how the security settings are changing when the form is open in Reader X. When the form is opened using Acrobat 9 Standard the form can be signed...the security settings have remain the same as when we built it in Pro. Is there a work around or something I have missed? This is a rather urgent issue as it will be effecting our whole "Company" and in the meantime we have been told to use another product until a solution is found. Your input is greatly appreciated!The usage rights must be enabled in Acrobat Pro.

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?
The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

Is there a better option than spark VideoDisplay with AV syncing capabilities
We have developed an AIR application that involves syncing multiple audio tracks with a video track. We are using the Spark VideoDisplay component for video and the Flash SoundChannel object for audio. We are having trouble keeping the audio synced with the video. Is there a better component to use for this? Is there some technique to keeping audio and video synced in Flash/AIR?
Andrea,
Your sample does not look like being »foot-intensive«, I only find two footnotes. And those will not be a problem for FrameMaker.
For 2-column text layout FrameMaker (as InDesign) gives you the option to create one text frame set to have two columns, or create two connected text frames, each of them one column. To keep the footnote in the original column, you would use the latter method. More information can be found in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS6C3D24E6-2965-48bb-B6CF-50D1439AEB01.html
Regarding other elements of the sample pages I don’t see any stumbling blocks. Just be aware that the general approach to layout, and especially when using XML-structured documents, is completely different from InDesign. With InDesign you just move all the frames wherever and whenever you want. With FrameMaker you plan ahead, create master pages and paragraph styles and then follow this original design. Creating layout changes »on the fly« is just not the way you work in FrameMaker. But this limitation is the reason for a higher layout consistency.

I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section. How do I get there, nothing is working.
The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button. -
Help! For some reason i-tunes 12 wont allow users to re-download past purchases all at once like it used to. Is there a way around this? It will only allow you to download what it calls "Recent Purchases" which in my case only would allow 250 items. I know i have at least 700 tracks if not substantially more possibly over 2000 tracks but I can't be sure. I don't know how to find that information, I've looked in itunes under the my account past purchases but id doesn't tell you how many total songs you have purchased or any relevant details. It only shows you small chunks of receipts by date but no total tracks purchased in an easy to view snapshot that I could find. The current support page says that if you have more then 2000 songs the "ALL SONGS" tab now listed above the left pan with all your purchased artists, will change to "Recent Purchases". IF apple changed this on purpose to stop user from downloading there entire library to cut down on bandwidth they have really upset me this time. At present the only way I can download all past purchases is by selecting each artist listed in the left pan one by one selecting the "Download ALL" button at the bottom right corner of the page at which point I have to input my apple password each time, which really slows things down. I have hundreds of artists and if this is the only way for customers to re-download there entire library this is ridiculous and really unnecessary to put customers through this kind hassle just to re-download all there past purchases when the whole idea of i-cloud is to make downloading and using your music simple, quick, and convenient on multiple devices. I know the old saying "your responsible for backing up your data" yeah I know that and I've been doing that for years when no one really should ever have had too. There is no reason a service that sells music digitally should not allow customers to be able to re download content purchased on there service regardless of the fact that people should just back up anyway as an extra precaution. Well sometimes backups fail like in my case and I have to re-download. No wonder paid subscription plans are so popular. You don't have to deal with any of these issues. I can only hope this is some kind of oversight by apple and will be fixed soon. Can anyone offer a quicker solution or any information about this issue? I would greatly appreciate any helpful assistance.
Again this is for Windwos 8.1 x64 with Itunes 12.0.1.26After spending way too much time dealing with this issue myself, I discovered that you can:
- Within "My Music", select all the songs you need to download (all w/ the cloud icon - use Shift-Click)
- Right click and select download
All songs will begin downloading from iCloud -
