July 17 Doc icon - No. It's not what you think...

I know that you suppose to open iCal for the Doc icon to change to today's date. Everything used to work just fine even after I quitted iCal.
Now, when I fire iCal the Doc icon changes, but when I quit it goes back to "July 17" instead of keeping todays date. Any ideas?
TIA

Photo booth mirror-not what you think

when i use the mirror effect on photo booth, it mirrors the left side of the view (you have two left hands) is there anyway to get it to mirror your right side?

Hello again, mr.merino
Another idea that may be of interest to you...
If you are only trying to make one (or a few) of the reverse mirror images you post about, and if you are not interested in learning and writing Quartz compositions, you can take the "easy" approach and use a mirror.
Here is how I did what you ask about in Photo Booth without programming. No "Edit > Flip Photo" menu item was applied in any of the following images.
(1) As a reference, I show this normal Photo Booth image of a left hand pointing left.
(2) This image uses the "Mirror" effect on the same hand pointing the same way.
(3) To mirror the right side instead of the left side, I selected the Photo Booth "Mirror" effect to make another mirror image. However, this time, I placed a mirror in front of the iSight and positioned the hand behind the iSight. By adjusting the positions of the mirror and the subject (hand) while I watched in the Photo Booth viewing window, I was able to obtain this image.
We await your response. Please confirm that the kind of left/right reversal between items (2) and (3) is what you are trying to accomplish.

OS 9 In Leopard (Not what you think)

Is it possible to partition my hard drive and install OS 9 as I have done with Tiger? If I do so, will I be able to boot into OS 9 by pressing option at the startup chime? The reason being, is that I have some classic applications that don't seem to function under Classic Environment in Tiger.

will I be able to boot into OS 9 by pressing option at the startup chime?
No. That capability is determined by the computer model, not by any other OSes which may be installed, and no G5 or Intel Mac has it.

Footer Issue (not what you think)

I've spent over an hour now watching video turotirals and reading common issues regarding footers in Adobe Muse.
My issue is that after I create text, check the footer box as well as the sticky footer box in preferences, and place it below the footer line -- it still doesn't act as a footer. It will remain in the same place despite everything and stay at the bottom of the page. I don't want it be pinned either so it's not an issue there. I'm fairly literate when it comes to adobe software but I can't figure this out. Could it be a weird bug or something on adobe's end? Can anyone help here? Am I doing something totally wrong? Thanks

On this first screen shot, you can see the text I have set as my footer. You can see that the footer box is checked and it's below the content area.
This next screen shot is what happens when I drag content down. The text footer doesn't move.

Red MB...not what you think.

Ok, my girlfriend and I have this blanket, a red one. It sheds really bad and gets on our hands and when my gf used her macbook, it got on the trackpad button, and the rests. I'm trying to figure out how to carefully clean off the red hue from the button and rests. Does anyone have any suggestions aside from trying goo gone? I know, it should be a last resort. Thanks in advance.

This may sound harsh for the macbook - but try to use a vacum cleaner first - use it very carefully to make sure that the red fibers are not imbeded into the keybord and trackpad side cracks - I would not place the vacum cleaner hose directly on the computer but hold it about inch or two away from the surface - I've dont that same with my previous laptop and worked well. Then just wipe it down with microfiber cloth and some LCD display liquid cleaner

Switch on Strings - It's not what you think (Don't Shoot Me!)

I recently decided to undertake an FAQ on the switch statement - how it works, why it works the way it works, when to use it, when not to, how to work without it, and ... here's the kicker ... WHY the rules are so restrictive.
So, I've been doing some research, and seen some very good reasons provided by developers on why only integers and variants of integers (auto-unboxable versions, or widenning conversions), plus enums, are allowed.
I've search this forum, and I've seen the topic beaten to death MANY MANY times. I've search other forums, however, and I've been apalled to see so much support for actually changing the specification for switch.
I've search google, and not found much useful.
I've search the bug database, and found several bug submissions that are really feature requests. Each has been denied, but with no explanation, nor even the name or initials of the engineer who evaluated the bug.
I've looked for ANY sort of FORMAL discussion or debate that included sun, java.net, or the JCP, but not found any.
There are people who have said that with the introduction of linguistic support for Enums in Switches, Strings could have been done at the same time. While I'm glad that they were NOT, I thought I might be able to find something on-line that explained the reasons why not. I expected to find either a dialog or technical paper covering the topic. But I found nothing.
Does anybody know of any formal discussion that occured on the topic?
Also, if anybody cares to suppliment my list of reasons, that would be great. Or if anybody thinks there is a logical flaw with one of my reasons, and thinks I should omit or revise it, please also tell me. Thanks! Here's what i have so far:
- C++ didn't
- should use .equals or .equalsIgnoreCase?
- underlying mechanism in byte code is an integer look up table (should language be based on byte code, or vice-versa? not very strong argument)
- some have suggest hashCode -> but not set in stone (in fact, it changed in version 1.2), and not necessarily unique
- virtual machine would need to be aware of .equals function (is it already?)
- switch is not good OO, but is substitute, for use with primitives.
- switch is meant for enumerable types (loose definition -- all integers could be listed, it would just take a while), and String is not an enumable type.

Ada couldn't use Strings, but did allow ranges in the cases, as well as "or". (These examples are from the web, but I used to program in Ada.)

          when Mon        => Compute_Initial_Balance;
          when Fri        => Compute_Closing_Balance;

       end case;

          when 1      => Update_Bin(1);
          when 2      => Update_Bin(2);
          when 3 | 4 =>
             Empty_Bin(1);
             Empty_Bin(2);
          when others => raise Error;
       end case;
case A is                      -- Execute something depending on A's value:
    when 1          => Fly;      -- if A=1, execute Fly.
    when 3 .. 10    => Put(A);   -- if A is 3 through 10, put it to the screen.
    when 11 | 14    => null;     -- if A is 11 or 14, do nothing.
    when 2 | 20..30 => Swim;     -- if A is 2 or 20 through 30, execute Swim.
    when others     => Complain; -- if A is anything else, execute Complain.
end case;

Shuffle by artist - not what you think!

I've been trying to figure out how to change the shuffle setting in itunes so that it will shuffle by song but only play one song per artist until it goes through a full cycle of all artists. Sort of like the opposite of "shuffle by album" which plays an entire album before moving on to the next. Some bands I have a much bigger catalogue for, including many live tracks and b-sides, and because there are so many of them, I end up hearing songs by them far more than any other band.
Does anyone know how to do this in itunes? If not, is there a plugin available? Does anyone have any suggestions for a script or an automator prompt that would do this?
Please let me know, I beleive this functionality would be a great bonus for my listening experiance.

Well the error message is straightforward enough:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committedOnce you have started sending the response page to the client, you can't change that response. So any forward/redirect of a response needs to be done early on in the logic. JSP pages have a buffer of 8k by default to generate output into. Once you have committed the output (either by filling up the buffer or flushing it) then you can't forward/redirect again.
The other thing to note is that after you forward/redirect it doesn't stop executing the page, so you should put logic like that in an if statement.
if (wantToChangeToAnotherPage){
forward to alternative page
else{
keep displaying current page.
}The else is important :-)
Now looking at your stack trace, it is iinvoking a custom tag on the jsp page - the typeTag.
This typeTag calls retrieveContent which attempts to forward the jsp page.
Are these your custom tags? Are you expecting it to attempt to forward to a new result page?
Where is this custom tag in the flow of things?

Inactive pixels, but its not what you think.......

Just purchased a 5800 Xpress direct from nokia a week ago and have now discovered 3 clusters of inactive pixels comprising of 6, 8, and 10 groups. They are all on the number 1, when in text mode. Now most people, including myself would automatically think hardware fault, however, if I turn to landscape mode the faulty pixels remain on the number 1 position, even though the 1 is at the other side of the screen therefore, in my humble opinion this would point towards a software problem. Has anyone else encountered this strange situation?

There's a chance I could qualify for a wally of the year award. Having looked closely at these pixels perhaps they are meant to be there as symbols. Perhaps someone could clarify this. When you are about to write a new text message using predictive text, are there 3 marks to the right of the number one?
Why don´t you take a screenshot? Then you can compare the image with what you are actually seeing on the screen and you can post it here so that we can find out if your qualified for the wally of the year award...

Links and rollover question - not what you think

A little glitch in iWeb: I have a web page that is all white with black text. When I create a link with one of the words it turns white, but by page is white and the the linked word appears to be gone, only reapears when the mouse pointer hovers over it. Is there a way to change the colors of a link.
Magma

I have an article on my site outlining modifications you can make to the CSS file that iWeb generates, so that you can have whatever colours you want (Articles > Hyperlinks and CSS in iWeb)
The other option is to choose a different template, or have a different background of course!

Shuffle 3G headphones (it's not what you think)

Okay so i was sitting down listening to my brand new ipod that i had gotten for my birthday six days before... I stood up and the ipod hooked something and yanked the headphones out of my ears i thought it was nothing but when i started to listen to it again i found that one of the phones had blanked out or something and it sounded like it had sarran wrap over it sometimes barely playing at all ***!?!?!

They are under warranty call apple

Volume level not what you think

So I don't have any volume problems when it comes to hearing someone when i'm talking to them on the phone. Or when it comes to listening to music via the speaks or through headphones. What does give me problems is when I'm playing a movie that was purchased from itunes.
The sound from that movie is pitifully low. I can max out the volume slider and volume button but it's still low as ****. So I don't know if it's a movie issue or a phone issue

The movie is easy to fix.
In iTunes, highlight the movie, click Get Info(apple-I), click options, and use the volume adjustment slider. That will change the tag, and give you higher volume. Hope that helps you.

Smartforms - What you see is not what you get ?

I create a delivery note by smartforms.
Print Preview in the PC, the position of data is correct.
But printed on the paper, what you see in the PC is not what you get? The page format is custom, not standard.
Is there somebody know reason?
Thanks!!

I all really depends on the printer, the print drivers, and how the printer is setup on the basis side.
I have seen the same thing when printing one layout from two different printers. They didn't look the same.

LR4.2 printing multiple cell with overlap - What you see IS NOT what you get ?

Hi,
I am using LR4.2 and PS-elements. Epson 3800 for printing
PS - never an isue.
user is admin ..
I get a strange phenomena in LR4.2 when doing multiple cells on same print - with overlapping: At time what you see is not what's going to be printed! at times you will get the printout with some of the cells mising photos (even printing them to file will result in the same way..). Post the printing (ouch wasting of paper...) if I select the cell, I can "send it to the front, ad now it will be printed ok/.
Please advice - did you see this before >?
Ami

I have never tried printing overlapping photos. Can you describe how to a simple photo layout that demonstrates the problem so others can try? Or at least include a screen-capture of the layout that is showing the issue. It may have something to do with your particular printer driver even if you print to a JPG, but if others, with other printers have the same issue, then it is likely something within LR, only.

AUDIO: What You Hear Is NOT What You Get

hi guys. i have seen this problem being reported on numerous occasions on this forum, but can't remember if it's really been tackled and solved.
It may seem the question audio-related and should have been posted in another thread, but i do tend to think it's macbook-related for some reason.
you see i've worked for ages on ibooks and powerbooks and whatever sound i'd hear through my headphones in any audio-production programme, exactly the same sound would be exported as mixdown.
now that i've added a macbook to my gear, what i hear during mix, mastering, etc. is NOT what i get on export! my exported material is full of clipping and distortion.
yes, i know that those "reds" on mixer channels are supposed to mean peaking and that should be avoided. but why is it that i don't hear distortion through headphones/monitors when i see red while my exported audio is distorted?
as opposed to that, when working on my powerbook g4:
red = clipping and distortion in any DAW = clipping and distortion in exported audio
whereas, once again, on a macbook:
red = most clear sound in any DAW = clipping and distortion in exported audio.
any thoughts? please! could this be a common macbook / onboard soundcard problem?

pardon,I'm a little confused... Scenario:Not using cycle record. One track for a lead vocal.I puch in vocal phrases.Is there a technique for going back to earlier pass takes and lock a take in the arrange window if I want to ?Why create duplicate tracks?I do not want to create extra tracks,want the lead vocal to be on it's own single track that has punches.I usually only want the most recent punch as I move on after a good take.In this current song I rewind happy to hear my performance but I end up seeing it(the punch)but hearing and underlying take ??? Why. PLease elaborate. Thanks ~
