Kind of stupid question

I am a new mac user and I been trying to download music from blogs, and I can't play them in my itunes i can see the file on the finder when i save uing the save as option.
please help

once downloaded, you have to add music to the iTunes library.
depending on your settings, this can be achieved by double clicking the file to open it, or by going to File: add to library, and navigating to the file and selecting choose.
this isn't really the proper place for this question, this question would have been better placed in the iTunes discussions

  • Probably a stupid question

    just got a macbook pro and want to be able to use the webcam to chat with my hubby on his PC when he is out of town on business. he does NOT have a webcam so we need to know what kind he can get that will allow us to talk and see each other. i know this is probably a stupid question but we are new at this.....

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, bevs
    Any PC webcam that is compatible with your hubby's PC system, (Windows?) OS, and chat software will work. Best suggestions will come from the "Help" pages for his chat applications software.
    For you to be able to video chat with your hubby, it is important that you choose applications software that offers "cross-platform" (Mac to PC) video chat capability. There are several choices available, but Skype probably currently offers the best balance between ease of use and reliability in free cross-platform video apps.
    Whichever apps (and camera) you and hubby choose, everything must be compatible with your respective computers and operating systems. I mention this because your posted system info shows macbookpro   Mac OS X (10.0.x). Mac OS X (10.0.x) is now five major upgrades old. No MacBook Pros shipped with Mac OS X (10.0.x), so I expect that your system info just needs to be updated. However, if I am wrong, you will need to upgrade your Mac OS to use Skype, because Skype's System Requirements show you must use Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or later. I do not know any video chat apps that work with Mac OS X (10.0.x).
    In order to use Skype, both you and your hubby will need to download and install your respective versions of the Skype software. Skype offers free AV connections between computers (although its website seems to concentrate on its for-fee telephone connection service,) it is easy for most users to configure and set up, and it offers cross-platform audio with its video chat. (Not all video chat apps offer simultaneous audio.)
    Your iSight will work with Skype, as will most PC webcams for your hubby. For more information now, or for help if you encounter problems using Skype later, Skype offers comprehensive support that includes a dedicated Skype Forum as well as technical support directly from Skype in addition to its online FAQ and Knowledge-base.
    If you decide to go with Skype, your hubby can get Skype-specific suggestions for PC webcams here.
    Please let us know if you need any other info before you can mark your question "Answered." We will be happy to try to offer more focused suggestions for your specific questions.

  • A very stupid question about MDic application[SOLVED]

    I have tried StarDict in Arch which I think that is the best known dictionary application in Linux world. Since I had to use mouse to access StarDict, I decided to try MDic instead. My problems is that I do not know the default location of MDic dictionary files. After search topics for about two hours, I gave up.
    There must be a directory where MDic searches for dictionary files. Where is it? or What MDic configuration file has the information? So, I can install dictionary files int to the directory. I looked for this information in http://mdic.gnufolks.org/ and google.com. I believe this kind of very fundamental information should be in the wiki fo MDic. But I couldn't find one. Maybe, it is because I am so idiot. Would somebody help me how to install MDic dictionary in a appropriate location or the default location? Thank you so much for your helps.

    Yes, it was a stupid question. I found that I can configure the location of the dictionary file. I also installed PyGlossary to convert dictionaries for MDic. Everything works fine now. Thank you.

  • Little bit stupid question)

    Hey guys! I'm kind of new to c development for as3. I can imagine answer for my question, just want to be sure… anyway
    Is it possible to port remote control wrapper that allow communicate with mac os remote and global media keys? Or is alchemy just speedup tool, which can't bring new possibilities to flash?

    It is not a stupid question. Alchemy howerver has the same sequrity restrictions as AS3, so
    I guess you can not do what you wanted.

  • A really stupid question from newbie...

    hello all,
    i am very new to java and i am trying to build a j2ee application...
    rite now....i need to let my app communicate w/ an outside program thru' XML..
    i had just learnt many thing about java w/ xml and i decided to use the XMLEncoder... it seems quite simple to use...BUT i have no idea on how to send/receive these XML files...i had thought of using socket connection, but i just found out that an EJB wouldn't allow socket networking... i bet this must be quite a stupid question coz i found nowhere teaching me this...=P
    if u know about this, pls point me to some relevant docs / sites....i am anxious to learn about it...
    thx so much,
    karloogunna~

    hello maesj, rune, and others,
    thx alot for your advice...
    and here's the environment i am working in:
    OS: w2k
    JDK: 1.4.1.01
    j2ee: 1.3.1
    jboss: 3.0.2
    i am using flash as my UI, so i need communication
    between the j2ee app and flash.
    the data transfer involves a number of arrays of
    objects (each object w/ a list of attributes...) so, i
    think using XML as data-exchange is quite suitable (am
    i wrong on this??)I don't know the first thing about Flash, but using XML as a means for exchanging data seams like a good idea, for the scenario you described.
    >
    and i am reading about the message-driven beans, i see
    that they got a function onMessage() from where i can
    get the XML strings (?), but i don't know how i can
    feed these strings into this JMS from flash...do i
    need to write a small java program on the client
    side?I haven't that much experience with Message Driven Beans. What I do know is that they employ the Java Messaging Service (JMS). If you write a small client appplication with JMS support... you might be close.
    >
    also, i am not sure if i can send out XML strings
    through the message-driven beans, i am reading on the
    JMS...it got the MessageProducer, MessageConsumer,
    MessageListener, and MessageSelector....should i be
    using this? or can i use this together with the
    message-driven beans??
    In a Messaging system you will need message producers, and message consumers. To enable two-way communication, you can setup both the EJB and the client to handle both. When a message arrives at the consumer (or subscriber if you like), the JMS Service invokes the onMessage method. So you should implement your logic in the onMessage method, for example inspect the XML content, and act upon its content.
    i am very sorry for my disorganized questions...(i
    used to do low-level programming =P)
    and really thank you for your advice!!!!
    No problem, the amount of information to read can be quite overwhelming. Using JMS is just a suggestion, and might be considered overkill for your application. If you're using an IDE, like Sun ONE, creating a message driven bean is easy, and can be tried out, without too much hours passing.
    Kind Regards,
    Rune Bj�rnstad.

  • Hi! This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ip

    Hi!
    This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
    Thanks!

  • Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

    Hi all,
    I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
    Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
    Best Regards

    As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
    Here are a few links to get you started.
    Oracle Documentation
    * Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
    Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
    BTW, welcome to the forums!

  • Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

    So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc.  Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on.  Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa.  So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match.  I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere.  I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now?  Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's?  If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library?  can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on?  I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago.  I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

  • Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

    OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

    There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
    KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
    Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
    Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Probably a stupid question about upgrades...

    I originally bought Adobe CS3 Web Premium and upgraded to CS5.5 Design Premium last year.  I'm wondering if I upgrade, will my price be based on the CS3 license or the CS5.5 upgrade...?
    I'm guessing it will be based on CS5.5, but I want to make sure.
    -A. Ka

    There are no stupid questions!
    Regardless of whether you got to CS5.5 via upgrading to it or by originally licensing CS5.5 is irrelevant in terms of the upgrade price to CS6 as well as the media you use for the upgrade.

  • Stupid questions on the ipod mini.....

    I have an old ipod mini from 6 years ago.  I haven't used it since I got it.  Since I'm going to work out, I wanted to take it and listen while I'm exercising....
    Stupid question number one
    1. Can you hear music without using earphones?  Or do you have to use a docking system????  Is everything with head/earphones?
    2. The earphones that came with it, fall out of my ears..... what gives?  Can anyone make a suggestion about headphones that you don't have to stick in the ear canal... but aren't cumbersome????  I need some suggestions, else the whole ipod experience is a waste
    3.  am I stupid for staying with a vintage ipod mini, instead of getting an ipod touch or traditional ipod that's newer?  Are they easier to use? 
    All I really do is make playlists on itunes, and maybe a short download of a radio show or something like that.....  What's the advantages of Ipod touch vs traditional Ipods?

    1.  No.  You can hook it up to a docking station or use headphones/earbuds.
    2.  Everybody's ears are shaped different and so a one size doesn't fit all.   I don't have any particular suggestions though.  I would look on Amazon's site for an extensive list of possibilities.
    3.  Not at all.  If it still works, why quit using it or buy a new one?  Wouldn't make any sense!  The advantage of the iPod Touch is that it has much more capability compared to other models in that it can download and play Apps as well as a number of other things.
