IWeb coming from a Windows world...?

I've recently switched over to MAC and trying to reduce the number of legacy Win32 apps that I need.
I've built and maintain a small site with NetObjects Fusion (Essentials). I'm looking at bringing the site over onto my MAC but my initial experience with iWeb(09) suggests to me that it's a very limited app by comparison to NOB.
Happy to rebuild the site from scratch but not prepared to do it a third time, so want to ensure I select a MAC application that I can stay with. What recommendations do folks have, what do most people use aside from iWeb?
Perhaps it's just me and digging deeper into the iWeb config etc?
Appreciate folks suggestions, thank you.
Regards, Ed

Well, about 11 years ago now I converted to Mac at the time when the Tangerine Mac's came out and have stayed with Mac ever since.
I had an old PC laptop that I still used from time to time and I built my first website on this using FrontPage. When iWeb came out I switched straight away and have never looked back. I built my company website using iWeb and it is so much more versatile than FrontPage ever was and for all the things that you can't do, there are workarounds - such as building your own navigation menu and you can still do hidden pages - I have a couple on my own site that work very well indeed.
Learn how it works and then give it a try. There have been others on this forum who have come to iWeb from using Dreamweaver and find it very good indeed.

Offcourse, Java come with a very complete IO package and even more IO has been added in java 1.4
5. Can I call windows components (ActiveX Library) or DLL from java?
Yes

Winmail.data are not usable files. They just preserve RTF within the message.

Ok. I am super happy to get my new IMAC. So what next. (coming from converted Windows user)

Good Morning All;
Got my new imac yesterday and I am already enjoying the experience. Anyone has any great ideas on how to set this up.
What are the best apps people use for everday use. I think all of the preinstalled apps i.e. mail, safari and others are great.
Does anyone think it would be worth while to go to the Apple Store training?

Open iTunes and check out some music - your favorite artists are probably there. Rent or purchase a movie you have never seen - that 27" screen is great for viewing. Break out GarageBand and plug in your guitar. Move your old home movies onto the computer with iMovie - or grab your HD video camera and make a new one. Take that collection of photos and scan it into iPhoto, then turn it into a slideshow.
Macs are great for getting out of the way of creative people and letting them express themselves. Break out of a shell and just use it.
Best of luck.

Maintain IWeb site from Windows (Vista) based machine

Just checking...I don't suppose there is anyway in <edited by host> I can manage or update an Iweb site from a windows based machine - which I've been asked to do. If this is possible, I'd love to hear how it might be done.
TIA

Welcome to the discussions, CabanaKid.
No, it's not possible. iWeb keeps everything in it's Domain file and only iWeb can open and publish from that file.

Import of MPEG2 Files out of Windows world??

Hello everybody,
I'm brand new to the forum and I'm a switcher from the windows world. As I have a lot of experience on the windows world with video-edititng I was surprised how complicated and time consuming it is with the standard tools. Therefore I'm thinking of a different maybe easier solution. Final Cut express HD.
My question might be easy but for me essential:
Is it possible to import a windows mpeg2 file into final cut express hd without converting it to a dv file and how fast will the import be because in Imovie the import of a 2 hr movie takes 1 hrs to convert plus 10 hrs to import it to imove and now I'm doing the export to QT MG4 which takes about 1500 min.
Any information and help as well as hints are welcome.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

H Tom,
as you might see I'm brand new - what would FCE mean is it the format of the hard drive? I guess so. Whould this resume with the problem that I'm not able to write anything to my windows harddrives?
My problem so far and still is that it takes hours to import a movie which is 3 hrs long (only 1000 mins) and it is currently locking 60 % off my harddrive. The settings so far are only to convert to a DV (PAL) which is acceptable fast and then import to Imovie or FC express ?

Request coming from the new window............... ?

Hi All,
Anybody please tell me how to check the request is coming from the new window.
like if I copy the following url
http://forum.java.sun.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=33
and open it in a new window then I have to check that this url is coming from the new window not from the link.
please reply soon.
Thanks

You would have to make the link use javascript to use a Form with a method of POST to add a parameter to the request and submit the form.
You would have to use POST to hide the fact that you are using a parameter, otherwise the user could just copy the address with the parameter into a new window.
So this would work in two ways:
1) You could have a request.getParameter. If it is NULL then the user copy and pasted the link. If it is non-null then the link was clicked on.
2) This will also force the clicked link to go to your servlet's doPost method and direct navigation to go to the servlet's doGet method.

RFE: Some issues with the Pre/WebOS coming from the perspective of a former Windows Mobile user, Part I

I just switched over to a Palm Pre from a Windows Mobile device a week or two ago. Now, don’t get me wrong here—I really do like the Palm. For the most part, all of those things that were buggy, slow and inconsistent with Windows Mobile just simply work on the Palm, and that’s a very good thing. However, when a product is so good, it makes the problems stand out all that much more, and with a lot of the problems I’m finding, the decision making on the part of Palm that led to the problem is just baffling to me. I am hoping that I am just missing something on at least some of these issues, but so far, I have a laundry list of the things/features/omissions that I just really can't understand. Because I have 8 issues, I'm going to break these down into three separate posts, with a few days in between each. So, here goes PART I:
1) You can't select/manage multiple e-mails or text messages?  This is a pretty big problem, as I very consistently need to mark dozens and dozens of messages as read and then delete them, and swiping them off the screen one at a time just doesn't cut it. Not only is it slow and painfully cumbersome, but it leaves them all marked as unread back in Outlook. This really needs to be fixed, and I cannot imagine that even one single Palm user would disagree with me on this. Actually, I think my bigger concern is how the product got developed without this ability in the first place, especially when prior Palm offerings apparently had it.
2)  WebOS forces you to sort ALL contacts the same way?  I have many contacts set up in Outlook to be sorted by last name, and many others set up to be sorted by company name. I've done this because that is how I need them sorted--sometimes the individual is my focus, but I have their company listed, and sometimes the company is the focus, but I have an individual contact listed. Outlook, and every other contact management app I've seen, recognizes this, and allows me to sort each individual contact in the manner that best fits that contact. Unfortunately, WebOS apparently ignores the Outlook "File As" field, and makes me sort everybody the exact same way. As above, I cannot imagine anybody disagreeing with me that this is an important fix, and also as above, I can’t figure out why this wasn’t simply done this way from the get go.
3) No scroll bars?  Okay, so scrolling by flicking with your finger obviously works better than scrolling with a scroll bar along the side of the screen, but let’s not forget the fact that the scroll bar performs another EXTREMELY important function aside from actually scrolling: the scroll bar provides the user with instant feedback as to how long the list is and how far down the list the user has scrolled. These are two extremely, extremely useful pieces of information, and they are completely missing on the Pre. I tried to look through some applications on my Pre the other day (more on the problems with the app store below), and I had a list of probably 100 or 200 applications that fit my search criteria, and I scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled, and never had any idea of any sort how far down the list I had gotten nor how far I had left to go—and that was extraordinarily frustrating. Oh, and if I wasn’t able to finish going through the list in one sitting, guess what, I have absolutely no possible way to run the search again and quickly get back to the point where I left off, because I have absolutely no idea how far along I had gotten. I have to say, this glaring omission makes using the Pre on anything but very short lists and websites, well, unusable. Scroll bars are everywhere—they’re there in every single program or application I have ever seen when the data presented goes off the available screen area, and there is a very, very good reason for their overwhelming prevalence—a reason that has nothing to do with the actual act of scrolling. I think this one is probably my biggest complaint with the Pre.
I will post the next few in a separate post, but these are my "top 3".  To be honest, most of these just really leave me scratching my head wondering “what were they thinking?” The Pre is a great product, but obvious little shortcomings really stand out on a good product (can anybody say “where’s the cut and paste, Apple?”, which, by the way, is a mistake that MS is about to bafflingly repeat with WM 7). I should note that it would be difficult for anybody to say that I suffer from "One True Way" syndrome when all of the things I suggest, if implemented, wouldn't detract from the experience of those users who don't want these features, but they would benefit those of us who do want them tremendously. My "way" doesn't require a compromise of any sort for anybody--it merely requires adding features, and the people who don't want/need those features can simply ignore them with no ill consequence of any sort.  Sorry for the long post, but I’m hopeful somebody at Palm is listening. And yes, I know that posting multiple problems in one post is not ideal, but these all have a common, intertwining theme, and I'm at least breaking them up somewhat.

I really like my Pre, but I understand what you mean about somewhat baffling omissions in features. I think the Palm has a winning platform already, they just need to focus on hunting down and destroying bugs for a few months. Honestly, most of the things the Pre is missing should be provided by third parties except they're hesitant to invest because the pre and pixi haven't sold like gangbusters compared to Android and the iPhone. But really, if the price keeps dropping on palm hardware and they keep launching on new platforms (due soon on att), I think we'll be looking at a different view in a few more months. I'd wager that Palm has sold a bit less than a million devices, add Att and you'll end up around 1.2-1.5. If they keep fixing issues and making current customers happy, then launch a nice phone the end of this year, they'll be in good shape. You don't need to sell 15 million units to have a viable platform, just enough of a mass to ensure people want to take a risk developing.

Getting color management correct on Mac coming from Windows 7 PC

Hey all,
I've just made my first purchase of a new mac mini, its my first Mac computer (having owned iPhone and iPad previously) and its running the exact same monitor as my PC (I'm just switching input channels from DVI to VGA channels).
I was interested in seeing how the Mac would display and print a business card (saved in PDF format) I recently created in CMYK in Illustrator on the Windows 7 machine (and printing to a local CMYK laser printer), so I brought it over to the Mac (the Mac is in its default setup) and opened the file and discovered the colors were REALLY washed out and unsaturated.
Thinking it might have been a Mac default PDF reader program colour issue I installed Adobe Acrobat reader and tried again and got the same result, so obviously its a system color profile / calibration setting?
The thing is when I look at webpages the color is almost identical from Mac to Windows PC on the same monitor (Mac just a fraction lighter probably 5% or so).
I checked the display settings on the Mac and can see it is running the current monitor profile (Dell 2407WFP-HC) the same one as what my Windows machine is running, running on the same monitor is a bit of a pain as I can't adjust the monitor brightness/other settings without making the PC brightness wrong.
Can someone tell me whats going on here, is it just a simple matter of the Dell monitor profile default setup for the Mac being different from the PC one?
Cany anyone tell me why there is such a difference with the PDF CMYK color and not in webpages color between the two?
PS. I did try calibrating my Dell monitor once before on the WIndows side with a xrite E1 but it wasn't compatible with the monitor) so currently the Dell profile on the Windows side is set to default calibration settings.
Any help would be great

Hi Andrew thanks for that, I did try printing from Mac PDF to my CMYK printer and it came out unsaturated and the blues in my gradient were WAY out.
When I print from my Windows PC to my desktop CMYK printer it comes out really nice and vivid (maybe a touch oversaturated) but just about how I would want to it to look printed professionally/final.
Aside from the Mac not showing the PDF correctly I am trying to get a good workflow where I do a test print on my local CMYK printer and then send to my commerical knowing its pretty accurate, if I wanted to check my Windows workflow to see if my CMYK printer is somewhat color accurate the only way I could check is to have my actual Commercial printer do a test print for me is that correct?
I mean I've got the Pantone color chips here but as this is a CMYK design I don't have any spot colors put into the file only CMYK values for color.
75% of this business card design is made up of really rich white to blue to black gradient so its pretty crucial I get that pretty well spot on. I guess I could just take my printed version down to the print and tell them to match that?

Where in the world is this coming from?

I've recently been contracted to build an application for my employer. Great. The project is really straight forward and its going along nicely ... all except for this simple bit here.
I decided to use a new "big & bad" IDE (Netbeans 5.5) seeing as how this was pretty GUI intensive. I don't like to have to sit down and calculate all of those dimensions and placements by hand. So ... am using the IDE.
Pasted below is the initComponents() method of my program where my JTree (jTree1) is instantiated. It has an empty constructor - and nothing has been added to it ... so I'm curious as to how this is happening:
The problem:
I've reviewed the code over and over again. I can't find anywhere where a default dataset is being assigned to the JTree. Anywhere. However, when I go to view my form - I have the following information in the tree:
JTree

Colors
|- blue
|- violet
|- red
|- yellow
|
Sports
|- basketball
|- soccer
|- football
|- hockey

Food
|- hotdogs
|- pizza
|- ravioli
|- bananas
Where in the name of Satan's assshole is this coming from?

Myeh - I'm not really in any rush. I work from home as a private contractor. I tell you - it is so much more ... relaxed? ... than when I was working for my previous employer. My current employer wants the product finished by June. Thats when they have a big push of students coming in and want the new software ready for them. So, I've got a while - and it definitely wont take me that long to complete. I just figured that there must be something to the fuss about IDEs and how they simplify things. And, tonight, I found that that is a load of horseshit.
(Just so you know - there is a downside to working for yourself... you get weird requests from people like the following ...)
I had a guy once ask me to write an application for his son who is obsessed with the television show Alias. He said he wanted a program that did exactly what this Alias program did on the show in a particular episode. When asked if I was familiar with it, I said no. So what does this goofball do? He goes and buys the show on DVD and brings it to me. We watch it - he takes me to the point in the show and says "That! Right there! That's what he wants!!"
Astonished (and somewhat dumbfounded) I ask him, "You're aware of the fact that I am not going to be capable of writing an application that remotely logs into a secret NSA super-computer via satellite ...... right?" He then proceeded to tell me to make it look like it does. Just make up all sorts of stuff - just as long as it looks the same.
The worst part .... that wasn't the only request of the type that I've received. (Granted, the others were by kids - usually 14 or 15 that thought that I'd do it for 10 or so bucks.) Because I obviously have time to waste on such things ...

My Mac Pro Experience (coming from PowerBook)

Hey All, I recently bought Apple's new power horse, and I thought I'd share my initial experience using it.
A little background
For the last few years I've been using a PowerBook G4 as my primary computer. I was about to buy a PowerMac when Apple made the announcement that they were going Intel, so I decided to put off a new computer purchase until they came out with the Intel-based PowerMac. When they finally came out with the machine a couple weeks ago, at first I was going to wait a month or two, giving time for any first-rev issues to surface. But turns out that's a lot easier said than done--on Saturday, after Flash froze up on me for the 3rd time that day, I ran to the Apple Store to get my Mac Pro.
Usage
I got the standard configuration and have since added a 160gb HDD for Windows from NewEgg and a another gb of memory from Crucial. Looking forward the plan is to go up to 4gb of memory, get ATI's Radeon X1900 XT when the Mac edition comes out, and grab a 500gb backup HDD.
To migrate my data over, I decided not to use the Migration Assistant as I didn't want to move any preferences or system files for apps I've uninstalled, etc.. So instead I just hooked up an ethernet cable between the computers. First I moved my apps, then my email, then my iTunes libraray, then all other files in my Desktop, Documents, Music, Photos, and Sites. I was already using .Mac syncing for my Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts and Keychains, so that part was easy-- just enabled syncing.
Coming from a PowerBook, this thing is ridiculously fast. All these little things that took several seconds to load on my PowerBook are now instantaneous (loading Dashboard widgets for the first time after boot, for example). I have not noticed a performance hit running non-universal apps under Rosetta, however before I got more memory, the system's memory usage would almost max out when I was using Photoshop, so that extra 1GB definitely makes a difference there. One thing that's exciting about this computer is knowing it's only going to get faster as more applications become universal, Mac OS X Leopard comes out and has better 64-bit support, and as I add more RAM.
It's also very quiet. The new Xeons don't run very hot, and with the aid of a heatsink that spans the entire width of the machine on top of it, the fans are barely audible. The loudest part about it is the hard drive.
Boot Camp installation was just as easy as all the articles say. Windows runs pretty well on it– it lasted a full hour before crashing! I installed a program called MacDrive (www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6) that enables Windows to access Mac-formatted hard drives. One thing that's worth a mention about MacDrive is that you have the option of making those drives read-only, so if I get some crazy worm or virus or whatever, it won't stand a chance corrupting any of my important data on the OS X drive.
But the main reason I installed Windows was for the games. While I was sleeping I had Steam download and install Half-Life 2. This morning I opened it up to check the performance. It's not bad at all–-with a 1680x1050 resolution (native 20" Cinema Display res), the recommended video settings were as follows:
- model detail: high
- texture detail: high
- shader detail: high
- water detail: reflect world (of options: basic reflection, reflect world, reflect all)
- shadow dtail: high
- color correction - disabled
- antialiasing mode: none (of options: none, 2x, 4x, 8x)
- filtering mode: trilinear (of options: bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x)
- wait for vertical sync: disabled
- high dynamic range - full
The high dynamic range capability is particularly exciting to me because my gaming pc crashed every time I tried playing The Lost Coast, Valve's high dynamic range demo level. So, not bad at all.
Annoyances
Big thing here is the lack of the wireless module. Unless I want to span a cable across my room, I need wireless internet. A temporary solution to this is I have my PowerBook sharing its wireless connection with the Mac Pro over ethernet.
Not all Mac applications work on it yet, due to the x86 64-bit architecture. So far the programs I have tried to run that won't include Parallels (basically a VirtualPC for Intel Macs), Cisco VPN Client, and MySQL Administrator. The iStat Pro widget is also acting up.
On the Windows side, there are several things Apple could improve on. The biggest one here is the Eject key-- it will only open, but not close, the cd tray. If you have two optical drives installed, it will open both of them together (whereas on OS X it opens/closes the top one, and ALT+Eject opens/closes the bottom one).
With the exception of these minor inconveniences (which probably won't even be around a month from now) my experience has been completely positive. The only time I've had any sort of trouble was when I tried accessing a mounted drive that was no longer physically connected, forcing me to relaunch Finder, but this is a well-known issue that has nothing to do with the specific machine.
If you're thinking about getting a Mac Pro, my advice is to go for it.

Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

[iIt's good to finally read something positive in these MacPro discussions.
Bear in mind that this is a technical support forum where users get help for their technical issues rather than a "feel good about your purchase" forum.
As for the Mac Pro itself, from what I've seen it's a extremely stable system and relatively problem-free system. You might want to have a look in the MacBook forums for a comparison of the number of recurring issues. Only then will you appreciate how good the Mac Pro is.

My Compaq Presario C700 shuts down at randomly and there is no noise coming from the machine at all

My laptop will only turn on for about ten minutes before dying, it doesn't even go through the usual shut down process, it just turns off. Also, there is no sound of a fan or any humming coming from the computer. Before this problem of the random shutting down started, there was always a humming sound coming out. This happened to the computer about a year ago, and I gave it into PC World (Ireland) and they wiped the system and it worked again. So, the minute I saw the same thing happening I backed everything up and wiped it myself, I set up my user in vista again, but the computer was the same and was turning off randomly.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?? Thanks for your help.
PS: It's A HP Compaq Presario C700 Series Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

There may be a real hardware issue (like spanning above mentioned.) When I lose sound on my phone, here are the things I try, in no particular order:
If you use Apple TV, open a movie file (you tube, music video, anything you can play over Apple TV.) Switch to Apple TV playout and then switch back to your phone. If you left the phone going out to Apple TV, it may have kept the sound routing there -- switching back and forth again should reset it back to playing to your iPhone speakers.
If you use headphones, stick the headphones in and out again. Same kind of idea, the headphone detection may have been incorrect, and the toggle in & out will help it reset back to your speakers.
If you play games, go into a game with sound and adjust the volume there. There are actually three different volume settings (as far as I have experimented with) ringer, "normal" volume, and game volume... it's a little buggy figuring out which one your phone should be using

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

InitializeComponent();
private void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer= PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("Technician22.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPTable inner = new PdfPTable(1);
inner.WidthPercentage = 115;
PdfPCell celt=new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Paragraph("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",14,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK))));
inner.AddCell(celt);
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select t.technician_id,td.Technician_first_name,td.Technician_middle_name,td.Technician_last_name,t.technician_dob,t.technician_sex,td.technician_type from Techniciandetail td,Technician t where td.technician_id=t.technician_id and td.status=1", conn);
conn.Open();

table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[6].ToString());
dr.Close();
table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);

I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

Thanks for your understanding.

How can I publist my iWeb site to a Windows Server? (FTP is not an option, neither is a Linux server))

So I need to publish my iWeb site to a Windows server on a secure I can't access directly. I believe I need to export my iWeb site to a local folder on my Mac, then transfer those files to the computer that has access to the server.
I tried this earlier today with the tech in charge of the system and we had trouble getting the files uploaded.
I don't get any error messages, the new site simply doesn't show up.
Can anyone offer any help here? I know that iWeb users have had problems uploading to Windows servers, but If you know of specific work-arounds to the problems encountered, please let me know.
Thank you in advance. Any and all help is appreciated!

What ftp programme are you using to upload the site?
Also, where are the files being placed on the server - if they are not in the root folder on the server then they might not show up - (root folder could be anything from "public_html", "www", or "htdocs". This differs on all servers).
Also, when you published the site from iWeb to a local folder did you see all the files that iWeb produces - did you see firstly the Site folder, the separate index file? If you did, did you transfer this folder and file to the computer in question?
When you uploaded the site did you upload the whole site folder? If so, then you also need to upload the separate index file so that it points into the site folder - this needs to sit outside the site folder itself so that it points to the index file in the site folder.
If you don't want to upload like this, then what you can do is simply upload the contents of the site folder instead of the whole folder itself and place all the contents of the site folder - that being all the html file and the resultant css folders for each page to the server instead.

IWeb coming from a Windows world...?
