L.G. Schneider and others: About CS6 and CS5.5
I am well behind the curve and ashamed. Be that as it may, I remain on OS10.6.8. AICS5.5 has performed well for me, and being the risk-averse coward that I am, I've stuck with what has worked. On a lark, today I downloaded AICS6, haunted all the while by memories of posts here about folks returning to 5.5 because of 6's (and then CC's) problems and insufficiencies.
Pattern maker and gradients on a stroke in CS6 are pleasing additions. I'm sure I'll find others. But can I trouble you for a brief overview of the deficiencies and setbacks in CS6 relative to 5.5? It would be helpful as I try to navigate from ancient software history to slightly less ancient software history.
Always value hearing from you, Monika.
I see the significant differences between the tracing features in CS5 and CS6. And now that you mention it, I recall some folks reporting some aspects of the CS6 version being better, some worse. But no GLITCHES in the newer version that I recall.
And yes, the potential Pantone problem is easily remedied.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought there had been reports of some bona fide DEFICIENCIES and BUGS in CS6 and maybe a few useful features that had been REMOVED from prior versions or that are PERFORMING LESS WELL. For example, one that I recall is that you can no longer select multiple layers in the Layers Panel by option-dragging through them (a pity).
Oh well. I'd posted the question looking for other such changes to be aware of (I know it's been a while since CS6 was "the version").

AMD FirePro D500 and Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6?
My company just recently purchased the new 2013 Mac Pro with the AMD FirePro D500 graphics cards. Everytime I try to open After Effects CS6 I get a GPUManager Sniffer Result Code: 3 error and Premiere Pro CS6 sits on the splash screen indefinitely. Does Adobe not play nice with the new card? Am I out of luck?

My Feedback and complaints on CS6 and Lightroom 4
I really am having trouble finding any other way to send some feedback to adobe so maybe this makes its way to someone who cares.
Overall the feature enhancements to CS6 and LR4 are good, however they have been executed very poorly.
I am very upset with the way CS6 has been working in comparison to CS5.5. It is slow all around. When something needs to be updated the programs I have open start running super slow and exhibit strange behavior with mouse clicks and menus that I have not performed forcing me to lose time right in the middle of working on projects to update the software and restart then boot up all the programs once again and find my place. Several things that worked in CS5.5 will not work when the project is imported and updated to CS6 version. Additionally Lightroom 4 is god awfully slow compared to Lightroom 3 and the brush utility is extremely laggy.
The newest nusance to this update is that my application manager has now been updated and replaced with creative cloud application manager yet I do not want to use creative cloud, which is why I purchased a copy of CS6 and not CC. During this update I was working on editing some large panoramas in lightroom 4 and became super frustrated when it started bogging down and was essentially useless to use, right in the middle of a project.
Why does this happen since the application manager doesn't even have anything to do with LR4?
I am very disappointed in the upgrade from CS5.5 and LR3.
I hope that somehow, without having sign up for the Creative Cloud, that Adobe will improve the speed of the software and functionality and release a patch or update.
For reference here is the system I am using and have been using with CS5.5 and LR3 with no problems, great perforamne and good reliability.

NVIDIA GT450 1GBMy student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

How to Set up the variables and others to compile and Run Java Programs
Hello,
I have just downloaded the jdk1.6.0_07 and jre1.6.0_07 and installed it in C:\Program files\Java in my Windows XP ,So please tell me how to sett up the enviroment variables etc to compile and run Java Programs from Command Prompt.
thanksTo set the PATH permanently, add the full path of the jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin directory to the PATH variable. Typically this full path looks something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin. Set the PATH as follows on Microsoft Windows:
1. Click Start > Control Panel > System on Windows XP or Start > Settings > Control Panel > System on Windows 2000.
2. Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
3. Add the location of bin folder of JDK installation for PATH in User Variables and System Variables. A typical value for PATH is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin -
E90 - How to switch off GPS and other apps etc and...
I have just got my new E90 a few days ago, it is back on the market, so far it is terrific, no issues what so ever. However I thought I had exited the GPS app correctly, but the battery drained quite quickly as I think it was on ( few hours). How does one know what is running, eg is there is an equivalent Task manager like in Windows ? When I reboot and dont start the GPS the phone battery has lasted for days.
By the way - initally my E90 GPS took less than 1 minute to lock in, and thereafter it takes seconds. Quite amazing.07-Oct-200708:40 PM

Not sure what you mean, you can only connect to a PC running PC suite and having the usb drivers installed.
More then this, access is triggered in one way PC to E90, not in the reverse !

To ragnic and other about Singleton class
Hi ragnic. Thanks for your reply. I posted the code wrong. Heres' my correct one.
I have a GUI first loaded information and the information is stored in a databse, I have some EJB classes..and my singleton class ABC has some method to access to the EJB..
so my first GUI will gather info using singleton class and later if I click on
a button in my first GUI class, will pop up another frame of another class , this class also need to class setPassword in my Singleton..
are my followign codes correctly??
iS my Class ABC a SINgleton class? thanks
Is my class ABC use as single correctly. And It is called from other classes is also correct?
I'm new to java and like to learn about Singleton class.
But I really dont' understand it clearly after reading many examples of it.
I have a project to convert my class abc to a singleton.
But I dont know how to do it.
In my class(soon will become a singleton) will have few methods that later I need to use it from another class A and class B.
I have a GUI application that first load my class A..and my class will call
class abc(singleton) to get some information from it.
and then in class A has a button, if I click on that button I will call SIngleton class again to update my password, in the singleton class has method calls updatePassword. But I dont know how to call a singleton from other class.
I have my code for them below:
1)public class ABC //attempt using a singleton
private static ABC theABC = null;
private ABC(){}
public synchronized static ABC getABC()
if(theABC == null)
theABC= new ABC();
return the ABC;

***It compiles okey but when I ran, it say "NullPointerException"
I think I call my Singleton wrong.
Please help me.thanks1. When replying, use <reply>, don't post a new topic.
2. Implementing a singleton is a frequently asked question. Search before you post.
3. This is not a question about Swing. A more appropriate forum would be "New To Java Technology" or perhaps "Java Programming", but see point 1.
4. When posting code, keep it short. It increases the chance of readers looking at it. And in composing your shorter version for the forum, you just may solve your problem. -
Super noob questions about cs6 and air project
Hi, I'm trying to pass a complicated game I developed few months ago with CS5.0 for desktop and I wanted to try, at least, how it worked in a android/ios simulator... but it's becoming something harder than I though.
1) How I know if I'm developing in flash or flex? I only see "flash" or "air"; should I try with flash builder instead? is it better for games development?
2) Why do we have the option to publish as swc if it's a mobile app? If it's IOS is supposed to created a IOS compilated file... so... swc??
3) I'm having really bad times with all the swf and swc I had before. Seems like it doesn't read the sfw in runtime, publish them as swc and add them in the as3 project's configuration doesn't work either. Any sort of known issue?
4) Can I ask you about tutorials or any sort of information? not about creating animations and launch them in the simulator, that's fine. About managing project and this sort of "more advanced" stuff. I don't find any sort of information anywhere!
thank you!!!Sorry, I misinterpreted that part of the qustion. Yes, Colin is of course correct. Apple won't allow you to run any non-compiled code (C compiled, not AS-compiled) on IOS. So you can neither bundle a swf with the ipa nor call to a server to load a swf, if that swf contains any code whatsoever (even something as simple as a stop() action or a linkage identifier).
What you can do is embed a swf into your project, or link to your swc and use its assets in that way. This results in a single swf that gets compiled into your ipa, thus satisfying Apple's requirement.
Oh, and a little more on #1: You asked if you should use Flash Builder, and if it's better for games development. The answer is: "it depends". Most every "serious" dev I know develops in some sort of dedicated coding environment: FB, FDT (this is what I use principally), IntelliJ, FlashDevelop, emacs, etc. That said, I worked quite successfully in Flash for many years and its coding tools are adequate (arguably). If you start building large systems, though, you will probably rapidly get tired of the limited toolset and want to graduate to something with a bit more firepower.
<edit>
BTW...I'm talking about my experience, not passing judgement. Anyone who considers themselves a serious dev and yet codes in the Flash IDE, I respect your preference. If you consider yourself a serious dev and haven't *tried* working in another environment, I still respect you; but I also suggest you look at the advantages of other work environments.

Creative Zen (and other MTP players) and Amarok: A quick guide
Hi. Odds are if you're looking at this you've been directed here by a search engine because you've typed in something to the effect of Creative Zen+Amarok or MTP+Amarok. This is meant to be a quick and dirty little rundown of what you need to do to get your Zen or possibly other MTP player working. This isn't a scientific paper and thus there will be many many variables that may or may not have anything to do with getting it to work, and may not work with every other MTP player out there. Now, down to business.
The first thing you probably want to have is libmtp, Amarok, and libusb. In my case I did it with libmtp 0.2.6.1-1, Amarok 1.4.10-2, and libusb 0.1.12-3. Others have apparently gotten this working with older versions so if there is some reason you can't upgrade or you happen to be a time traveler who printed this out before disrupting the natural chronological order this might work even with older versions. If you do however happen to have an older version of Amarok you might have to compile in libmtp support, but this is beyond the scope of this little guide. Google it. Also my user belongs to audio, optical, video, storage, network, Hal, Dbus, and wheel. The only groups I believe are necessary are storage, audio, Hal and Dbus. But I haven't tested under those conditions
For some reason when libmtp is installed it doesn't install a set of udev rules, so the first thing you need to do is is create a file called:
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules

LABEL="libmtp_rules_end"
This is the basic set of identifiers for Media Devices on Amarok. Amarok does indeed keep a page which may or may not be updated http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP.
As it says on that page we want to make sure that the device is recognized. If your device is listed on the list above then you can skip straight to the part about libmtp but if it isn't then you need to start with libusb to construct your devices I.D.
lsusb-v
You should see a fairly sizeable output, but what we're interested in is at the very top (assuming you only have your media device plugged in).
In my case it's:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 041e:4157 Creative Technology, Ltd
and even in that all we really care about is the ID:041e:4157. The first number is the idVendor and the second is the idProduct. All you have to do is copy one of the other examples and subsistute your numbers in mind and name.
# Creative Zen
SYSFS{idVendor}=="041e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4157", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"
You probably noticed that GROUP="audio" on the end. I don't know whether or not it is significant but others have mentioned that they could not get it to work until they had that. So I would add that to any device I want to use if it doesn't work and you've done everything else
Next you want to see if libmtp detects your device. Go back to the console and type:
mtp-detect
You should get a pretty long output something like this:

WMPInfo.xml Does not exist on this device
PTP: Closing session
OK.
To someone who know what they're doing, all of that code might mean something, but to me the only thing that counts is the OK at the end and that it obviously sees the device. If this doesn't happen it may be that your permissions for the 65-libmtp.rules file is wrong, So just chmod 666 for it and that should solve your problem.
Now the only thing left to do is Amarok. Fire up Amarok, go to settings. Click on media devices and add device. Very important. For the longest time I was beating my head against nearby inanimate objects because I had tried to add it manually before and accomplished nothing and made the foolish assumption that I had to auto detect it as all the people who solved their problems stated that they plugged it in and it simply worked. Anyways, add device, name it whatever your little heart desires (I simply named mine Creative_Zen) and select MTP device for the plugin and click ok. You should then be able to connect from the media device window. You may not be able to transfer any files without restarting Amarok like I did, but it's working now! Huzzah!
I apologize to the Forum Mods, I felt I needed to make this after all the time I spent trying to get it working and have no blog or personal website to post it on (le gasp! One could understand not having a website, but no blog in this day and age!? Scandalous!) and don't have any method to truly host it for long periods (perhaps indefinite) of time. This could go in the wiki, but since it's not focused so much on Arch I'm not sure if it belongs there.
I take no credit for finding this stuff, others online did all the hard work and this is just my condensed version of what I did. Good luck!I was given an old 1GB Memorex MMP8568-SPT. When connected, Amarok detects it as an MTP device. What an unreliable pile of ****!
Anyway, I found the manual online and by holding the "play/pause" key down for more than three seconds, lo and behold, it switches to a simple USB flash drive mode which device managers pick up, drag and drop in dolphin etc etc. Phew! -

Mackeeper and other unknown popups and windows on Macbook Pro
I've been having new tabs and windows open when I click anything in Safari or any other browser. They are usually a page called mackeeper but there are also other odd pages that also popup. Considering just wiping my macbook clean to fix. Any suggestions?
Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
