Just started out using Collections, Verifying Whether a Collection Exists

What do I query to see if a collection exists? When it hasn't got any members, yet?
Pete

Okay, am somewhat closer:
Verifying Whether a Collection Exists
Use COLLECTION_EXISTS to determine if a collection exists. For example:
l_exists := HTMLDB_COLLECTION.COLLECTION_EXISTS (
p_collection_name => collection name );
What kind of value does this function return? How do I check this, am not sofar into pl/sql.
If I want to make the creation of a collection conditional, only execute the creation when it doesn't exist. How do I do this?
Please help.

Just starting out, basic problem here.

Hi, I'm just starting out using DW to create a very basic website. I'm following the tutorial found here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html
I've created the container div and placed several divs inside of it. So far I've added a background image into one div and am placing text and images on top of the background.
I'm trying to place the business logo image in the top left corner 50px down and 90px to the right (from the top left corner). My CSS for the logo looks like this:
#Main_Logo {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 90px;
In the design view it looks exactly where it should be, but when I preview the page in Safari the logo is aligned with the very top of the background image and is very far left. Here is an image of what the design view looks like:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WCO8H.png[/IMG]
direct link: http://imgur.com/WCO8H
And here is the preview of the page in Safari:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8mhDP.png[/IMG]
direct link: http://i.imgur.com/8mhDP.png
Can anyone offer any advice? Why is this happening?
Thanks.

Thanks for the advice Nancy. My plan was to make the logo into a link back the the home page (as you've correctly assumed). So you're saying I won't be able to do that if it is placed inside the background image div? I thought that in order to position divs inside (or on top) of existing divs (like the background image) you needed to place the div you want to appear on top inside of the background div.
Also, here is my code so far:

Need an iphone for dev work - just starting out

Hello
I'm just starting out with iphone development. I already have another mobile service that I use for personal use so don't have the need for iphone personally. I just want to buy it for development work and will be using my WiFi network as the internet bone.
I dont want to get into a contract with at&t for 2 yrs. Does that mean I will need to buy an iphone for the regular price? Or can I get one cheaper than usual just for dev work?
All responses appreciated.

thanks again Tamara.
I googled a bit and found this post-

I wonder if this is indeed true.
In any case, I'm strongly leaning towards the ipod touch. Does not having a GPS mean, location based apps won't work? So if I want to download an app that relies on my current location for e.g. to tell me whether my friends are closeby, such an app won't work? Hmm...in that case GPS seems to be necessary.

Hi Newbie111
I see that you are unable to scan with the Photosmart 1315.
What driver are you using?
The driver listed in the url below is a basic print driver that will allow you to print only.

Upon start up of my laptop I get a APS Daemon.exe system error - MSVCR80.dll is missing. This just started out of the blue. At one point it told me to reinstall ITunes. Is that truly necessary?

Upon start up of my laptop I get a APS Daemon.exe system error - MSVCR80.dll is missing. This just started out of the blue. At one point it told me to reinstall ITunes. Is that truly necessary?

I have the same issue after installing the new update and reinstalling iTunes doesn't fix the issue.
I found disabling Apple push (APSDaemon.exe) from the start up will stop the error from appearing, however this will disable wireless syncing. If you don't use it than it shouldn't be an issue.
I'm using a PC so you can disable it using the msconfig command and turning it off in the Startup tab. I don't know if Mac users are experiencing the same issue. Hopefully Apple will fix it in their next update.

I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.
Edit: Step 3, not step 4

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

Just received a prompt to verify whether to allow apps unlimited access to my HD or to be prompted...
I foolishly selected "Prompt me"...
Apparently this is a very recent update???
Many of my games will not respond correctly to the prompt "Allow"...
I cannot seem to alter the settings now...
I even went to the Adobe website for Flash & tried to manage my Flash Player from there...
The update must be so new that it's not compatible with lots of apps...
Some do still work (they seem to ignore the new settings), but many of my favorites do not (the ones that issue the prompt to accept), and I have no idea how to undo what I was encouraged to do...
Silly me, I should have known to just click "x" and close the silly prompt window...
Just wanted to let you know...
Please fix asap???
Thanks!!!

Hello, just starting to use my 2012 MBP.

Hello,
I just started this weekend to really use my MBP I bought while still in the Army back in 2012. (November I think it was.) A couple of things that are of interesting me:
1. Which port, Firewire, USB or Mini Display port, works most efficiently when changed to HDMI? (Which adapter(s) should I get?) I'm heading to Walmart later tonight.
2. Clamshell mode. This is what I hope to do. Any tips or tricks or cautionary tales?
3. Gaming: League of Legends and Starcraft 2 is more then enough gaming for me for now and they both work amazingly well (1 hour of test playing w/ each.)
4. I was a communications soldier in the Army so I replaced parts on radios as well as vehicles and PC's. I was hoping to upgrade my memory from 4GB to 8GB+. Can I do this on my own after purchasing said memory? Money is a bit limited now since I'm living off the GI Bill while I go to school for Medical Lab Tech.
5. Any tips or suggestions with this MBP? Admittedly, I'm going to be using it like a desktop-- until a new mac mini comes out. Then I'm maxing that out that little guy and will use this laptop for college.
Thanks for your time,
Slade.

Mini Display to HDMI - there are several available that work great.
2. Clamshell mode. This is what I hope to do. Any tips or tricks or cautionary tales?
Clamshell mode is straightforward to use, you can setup displays in System Preferences > Displays very easily.
3. Gaming: League of Legends and Starcraft 2 is more then enough gaming for me for now and they both work amazingly well (1 hour of test playing w/ each.)
Don't see a question in here - but I don't do gaming so cannot comment anyway

If you have the MacBook Pro non-Retina, memory upgrade is easy and straight forward - be sure to get quality memory from reliable sources such as OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial: http://www.crucial.com and both have on-line videos showing how the installation is done.

Tips??? Use it, enjoy it...don't worry about leaving it plugged in on the line, the charging circuit auto stops when the charge level hits 100% and then runs on the line until it trickles down to 93-95% and kicks in again. Take it off the charger every couple of weeks and just run the battery down to 50% and plug in again. That will give good battery life.
Thanks for your time,

Just Starting out with java packages

Hello,
I'm a beginner and I'm starting out with java packages.
I wrote two simple .java files, one test program and one containing a simple class.
Both files are compiling without errors but When I run the program I get an error NoClassDeffoundError.
I use the import <package> statement And I think I'm using the CLASSPATH variable correctly.
SET CLASSPATH=d:\nopol
path for the .java containing the test class is:
d:\nopol\utilities \myapp.
In the test file I use "import utilities.myapp.*.
I would be very happy if anyone could help me
Thanks beforehand
Nopol.

The test file should be in d:\nopol, if it's not a part of your package utilities.myapp. Everything should be compiled from d:\nopol, the test class with "javac ClassName.java" and the class in the package with "javac utilities/myapp/ClassName.java".
Your classpath seems fine for now, though. But yes, do add the period there, otherwise you could run into problems later.

Just starting out problems!

Hi,
i've just started working with RMI, i created a very simple server and client, ran them successfully both on one machine. When i tried on 2 machines on a home network (2 pcs running XP) the client always has a timeout exception when trying to connect to the server. Following is my code for both:
import java.rmi.*;
public interface RMIServer extends Remote
    public void setResult(String s1, String s2) throws RemoteException;
import java.rmi.*;
import java.rmi.server.*;
public class RMIServerImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements RMIServer
    public void setResult(String s1, String s2)
        System.out.println(s1 + " " + s2);
    public RMIServerImpl() throws RemoteException
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        RMIServerImpl server = new RMIServerImpl();
        String serverName = "//localhost/RMIServer";
        Naming.rebind(serverName, server);
        System.out.println("RMIServer running...");
import java.rmi.*;
public class RMIClient
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
        RMIServer server = (RMIServer) Naming.lookup("//localhost/RMIServer");
        server.setResult("Hello", "World");
}instead of localhost i pur the ip of the server when on 2 machines. Is my code wrong or is it something to do with my network and not Java.
Thank you.

Hello,
You mean windows HOSTS file at windows\system32\drivers\etc\ ?
i did more testing, its works on 2 machines but only with one as server, the other client. If you reverse their roles, making the client a server and the server a client, then the client can't connect to the server.
Is some configuration problem of the LAN causing this? I pinged both PC's addresses and they both seem to see each other. Is there some test i could do to determine the cause.
Thank you.

What is the best way to consolidate Aperture and iPhoto libraries onto an external drive? I am just starting out and not used to Aperture filing system.

I would like to use the drive as storage/aperture backup rather than use it to back up my whole Macbook. Would like to keep the majority of the photo files on the ext. drive and be able to add files there directly. BUT, when workng in aperture would like to be able to select some from the ext. drive and work them on the laptop directly without having to have the ext drive attached.
So do i, have the aperture library path mapped to the ext drive, and then import the iphoto library? and then how do i add additional from the camera? Or, do i move everything together (imported iphotos and new from camera) in Aperture on the Macbook first, and then transfer that library to the ext drive?
For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in a way that seems logical. Vaults? Masters on ext drive, versions on the macbook? Consolidating libraries? The endless possible answers are baffling me.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Shane. Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
How is the drive attached?
Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
Can you reformat the drive and try again?
Hi Kirby,
I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi. I down load all of my pictures to iPhoto. I was removing some even folders to make room, but DID NOT delete any of the ones I needed (and there are a lot of photos as I am a photographer just starting out). All of my photos are gone. ALL of them.

Can anyone help me. All of my photos from iPhoto are gone. There are three weddings that I photographed and may other sessions (I am a brand new photographer and this is going to kill my business). I am so sick to my stomach. I was deleting some even files due to the fact that the start up disk was almost full but DID NOT delete everything. I finished what I was doing and then went to dinner. I came home to do more editing and EVERYTHING is gone. EVERYTHING, but the iphoto program was still there. Is there any chance that these pictures could still be somewhere on the hard drive?
Thank you,
Kari

Did you use the finder to delete any photos that are in iPhoto?
If so you have trashed your library - you choices are to put it back EXACTLY like it was, restore your backup or start over (right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, drag the masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and start importing
NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - ONLY use iPhoto to manage yoru photos

Just starting out with calculations between fields

I'd like to to include some text fields where numbers are entered, then a button is pressed, and the mathematical results of the fields are displayed.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 I opened Forms ... Start Form Wizard, and placed all the elements - three Numeric fields and a button. I want to add Javascript to the button to calculate the fields, but I can't see any way to add the script to the button. Can someone tell me what the steps are to add a script to the button? Should I be using something other than Form Wizard?
These results (multiplication and division) should simply display in the Numeric field. They won't be saved anywhere. I have the Javascript already working on mobile devices and want to create a PDF version for those without smartphones.
Thanks!

The first thing you need to know is that Acrobat uses a completely different object model than a browser. For more information, see the Acrobat JavaScript documentation at: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
The result field can be set up with a custom Calculate script that automatically calculates the result, so the button is not necessary. Try the following as the custom Calculate script for the result field:
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("spurGear").value;
    var v2 = +getField("pinionGear").value;
    // Set this field's value
    event.value = (v2 !== 0) ? v1 / v2 : "";
If you really want to use the button, the code would be:
// MouseUp script for button
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("spurGear").value;
    var v2 = +getField("pinionGear").value;
    // Set this result field's value
    getField("result").value = (v2 !== 0) ? v1 / v2 : "";
You can place these as document-level functions and call them, in which case the first one would be:
function calcGearRatio() {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("spurGear").value;
    var v2 = +getField("pinionGear").value;
    // Set this field's value
    event.value = (v2 !== 0) ? v1 / v2 : "";
and it would be called like this in the calculate event:
calcGearRatio();
