Just coming back

Hi All,
I haven't done any java programming (other than JavaScript) since university. Just interested what your recommendations are for a beginner development environment. I was considering using Borland's JBuilder
Thanks for any direction
http://www.addmap.com

You need to choose - start with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or not.
IDEs like jBuilder will get you started coding faster, because they do a majority of the work and hide the details of the code that's created. You'll also have to learn the IDE, which will be slower. And you will learn less Java; when a problem occurs that the IDE can't handle, you'll be stuck.
If you don't use an IDE, then your initial progress will be slow. You'll have to learn a lot of basic Java before you can write anything more complicated that HelloWorld. You won't waste time learning the IDE first, allowing you to spend more time learning Java. And you'll be more able to resolve issues.
I suggest you find a good editor and plan on learning basic Java using it. Once you've progressed to a level where you're repeating tasks, then grab an IDE and use it for the repetitive stuff. Keep learning by coding in the editor.
I like Eclipse and NetBeans IDEs, and jEdit and Crimson Editors. They are all no cost. As far as I know, NB is the only IDE that currrently fully supports Java 5. Eclipse for Java 5 is still in development. I would suggest that you try to start with Java 5, since it introduces a number of new features to the language that you'll want to learn.

How do I get rid of the 'buump.me' home page? It just keeps coming back.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS and my firefox web browser is compromised with this 'buump.me' home page which I can't get rid of. I've been into the cache, deleted all my cookies, manually changed the home page and the backup home page in the preferences folder. Still keeps coming back. Where is this nasty bit of code lurking in my machine and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks for any help

Thanks ideato
I tried this and lost all my bookmarks and stuff! But found them in a backup file.
I've solved the problem by creating a new firefox profile and importing my settings and bookmarks from the old one (carefully, so as not to import the virus as well)
Now the old profile has the virus and the new profile is just fine.
I could just delete the old profile... but I'd love to find out exactly where this buump.me bug is lurking, so maybe I'll keep the old profile for a while and see if I can find half a day or night free for detective work.

Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
You can check your USB drivers this way:
Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
Click on the Driver tab
Click on the Driver Details button
You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
Hope this helps someone.

HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back. Very frustrating !!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Login just keep coming back.

My computer stop working right so I reinstalled leopard OS, ran utilities and tried to run disk warrior.
Now I get the login box and put in the right password and the screen goes away and then blinks and comes back to the login page. I put in wrong passwords and it just shakes so I know I have the right one but that just comes back to the login.
Please help!

From the link that CMCSK gave above, although I don't know if you have, "a password of 8 or more characters", or if that matters now, I think you will find your solution here. Good luck.

Edit: Maybe your inability to login is preventing DW from rebuilding your disk, I'm not sure. But in general, if you have DW4 and you boot from it, it will rebuild a drive that has 10.5+whatever. But it won't, from the disc, verify and repair permissions.
By the way, Disk Utility now can take an extremely long time to complete. On my Mac it has taken 30 minutes+

UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???
Regards
Brian

If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

Deleted mail keeps coming back in to mail

Using mail on Imac, Laptop, ipad and iphone.
When I move a message to a folder on the imac it keeps coming back in to the mail account. It appears to work OK on the laptop when I move a message. All the settings appear to be the same. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

An update to my previous questions. This problem I think started after Maverick was installed. Also if I just try to delete a message it will pop back in. Appreciate someone telling me what is going on?
Thanks

Disk Utility: Java VM Permission errors keep coming back

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my permissions. When I run Disk Utility I always get the same errors, I repair them and DU says they are repaired. Yet, if I run Disk Utility again (even right after a repair), there they are again.
It's a never-ending story: I repair them, DU says they are repaired, but they keep coming back at every scan (even when I run multiple scan/repair cycles in a row).
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Classes/jconsole.jar ", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I checked them against the safe-to-ignore list on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 , but except for the last message (the SUID ARDAgent file) the other alerts regarding the JavaVM Framework seem not to be safe to ignore at all.
Does anybody know how to repair these permissions permanently (not just for three seconds)?
Thank you,
Daniele

Aha. Well, too much caution is better than none. I might suggest you skip the defragging unless you use very large files - 20 MBs and larger - with frequent changes. Unlike Windows OS X defrags files under 20 MBs on the fly to minimize fragmentation. Maintaining an adequate amount of free space on your hard drive will virtually eliminate fragmentation. We suggest 15 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater, should be maintained as free space. Fragmentation can become an issue as the amount of free space declines. The risks become greatest when free space drops to 5 GB or less.
We recommend repairing permissions and the hard drive prior to installing any new system updates. Repairing permissions after the installation is also a good idea since it's possible that fixes to Disk Utility may remove extraneous but innocuous "errors" being reported each time you repair permissions.
Some other occasional maintenance can't hurt. See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Continue enjoying your trouble free Mac. I've used them for over 20 years and love them. Currently have six of them all of which have never been a problem. Still have my 2006 MBP Core 2 Duo running good as new.

Fillable PDFs created on a PC, filled in a Mac and coming back completely blank

I've got protected fillable pdf forms and the only edits allowed are printing or filling in form fields. These have been created in Acrobat XI pro on a PC.
When a document is sent to a customer who happens to have a Mac, they fill in whatever is needed, save the document and send it back to us. When the documents are coming back, the only thing we can see on them is the fillable form fields. Everything else has gone - the actual base document and the accompanying pages of terms and conditions are just blank pages.
Anyone got any ideas what's going on??
Thanks
Jackie

Would the preview also make everything else on the document disappear?
this is what we should see
and this is what we're getting back (I've added the workds 'text field')

Just coming back
