Library classpath help

well... Actually I need more than only help with the library classpath, (which, for starters, I don't know how to use or where is it) I've been using java for long but this is the first time I've ever needed a third-party library to work (I downloaded the EDT FTP client one) and I don't have the smallest idea as to how to add it to my project, I need help in every single step after downloading it.
This means that if something needs copying, tell me, if I need to change something somewhere, tell me, please, I really need the help, I've looked everywhere, it's unbelievable... thank you beforehand.
PS: I am using NetBeans 5.5, got JDK 6.0 and JRE 6.0 and my SO is Windows XP if that makes it easier for you to help me

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

My computer broke, so I had to change the hardisk(?). Now iTunes dosen't work anymore. It says that the program is either lockes, on a locked unit or I don't have the right to open the library? Help please? :)

Sometimes a restart can fix this issue, but sometimes you have to fix the iTunes Library.itl file.
Try quitting iTunes, renaming the itunes file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library Old.itl"
then open itunes again
This should generate a new library file.
From this point you can try two different avenues.
1. Re-add everything to your library by going to the iTunes file menu, and selecting "add to library"
2. You can try deleting the iTunes Library.itl you created, changing the name of the old file back to iTunes Library.itl
I hope this helps. I did something like this a while back and it worked for me.

Will Photo Library Manager help without library file

I recently upgraded to Leopard and added ilife to upgrade my iphoto from a reeaaally old version. I imported photos from the old version and Iphoto was working fine a couple weeks ago. Today, however, when I tried to open it, I got the Choose Your Library message. There is no library listed, nor can I find one. I have not done anything to iphoto or the library file since it was last opened and working fine. Will Photo Library Manager help if there is no library file? Is the albumdata.xml file in the iphoto database or is it somewhere else in my computer? Surely the files are there somewhere! What else can I do? I have a back-up but it has run since I last opened iphoto and I can't find a library file in there either. What is the library file called? Maybe I'm not looking for the write thing...
Thanks for your help. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Did you use Spotlight to try to find your library. If the library was inadvertantly moved to certain areas of the HD Spotlight will not find it. Download and run Find File to search for "Library6.iPhoto". If you get a hit it's a good chance it's the library. Good Luck.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

"Look for libraries to share" does not appear in the Shared pane under preferences. I'm trying to see my fiances shared library. She can see mine. I have selected share entire library. Help please!

Cannot see my fiance's library but she can see mine. Checked all appropriate boxes to share entire library. Help syays to check under Shared which does not even appear anywhere. It also said to check the "Look for share libraries" under shared pane which also does not exit in that pane. I am Windows 7 and she is Macbook. Thanks

I'm using an Airport Extreme, and I'm not aware of UPnP settings in the Airport Utility.
On the Mac, I set up a Parallels Vista instance in bridged mode and verified that I can see the other Vista PC share folders, so I know that the Vista PC has been set up correctly.
Additionally, as mentioned before, I switched DNS Servers several times, but settled on an alternative Rogers DNS to avoid their awful failed lookup ad page (64.71.255.202 if anyone needs it).
I also tried adding the Vista PC IP to my Mac hosts file, which oddly showed the Mac on the Vista side, but nothing on the Mac side.
I also goofed around in the smb.conf file with some settings, but alas, nada.
The only thing that might explain why the Airport Express network (Vista, XP) provided me with shares in the sidebar and not my own Airport Extreme network (just Vista) could be that it's a master browser issue. I saw a couple of posts about this.
If the Vista machine is the master browser, nothing will show in the sidebar, but if XP or a Mac is the master browser, then the sidebar will show shares. I don't have a way to verify this as I'm not sure how to force one machine to be a master browser over another. I'm suspicious if this will do anything as I've found other posts saying exactly the opposite scenario.
Is there anyone out there that has had a network, possibly with Airport Extreme, one Mac (Leopard), one Vista PC, and Vista share is showing in the Finder sidebar?

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
"Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past.

Accessing a user defined library - CLASSPATH

Hi all
First I will tell you what I have implmented, then I will discuss the problem.
My PATH (user variables) is set to c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin and everything works
fine - I can compile and run from any directory.
When I open a shell (cmd.exe) my current working directory is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>
I have a file in the same directory called Test.java
Here it is:
import pack.ClassPathTest;
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new ClassPathTest();
The package "pack" resides at C:\pack
There are two files within "pack" one is called ClassPathTest.java
and the other is called ClasspathTest.class
Here is the code:
package pack;
public class ClassPathTest {
public ClassPathTest() {
System.out.println("Hello Paul");
Obviously this program is nonsense, However, I want to find out
how to access a user defined library of classes that is in a seperate directory.
When I compile from the desktop with the command: javac Test.java
The compiler complains, here is the output:
C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>javac Test.java
Test.java:1: package pack does not exist
import pack.ClassPathTest;
^
Test.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ClassPathTest
location: class Test
new ClassPathTest();
^
2 errors
If I cut and paste "pack" into the desktop directory everything works as expected.
Because of this I believe the problem lies with the CLASSPATH of "pack".
I have tried all sorts of variations of CLASSPATH but to no avail.
for example under "system variables" in environment variables I have
used the following:
.;C:\pack
Which says look in the current working directory first and then in pack. But
that does not work (and yes I close the current shell and open a new one).
Once the CLASSPATH is set .;C:\pack and I compile again the compiler
moans and gives me this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop>javac Test.java
Test.java:1: package pack does not exist
import pack.ClassPathTest;
^
Test.java:7: cannot access ClassPathTest
bad class file: C:\pack\ClassPathTest.class
class file contains wrong class: pack.ClassPathTest
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
th.
new ClassPathTest();
^
2 errors
Obviously I am doing something wrong, can somebody please help me as I do not wish
to add my libraries in the same directory as my program. I have even tried to add c:\pack
to the PATH but that does not work either. HELP!
Regards
Paul

If you are currently in Desktop, you need your classpath to be:
.;C:\The "pack" package lies in "C:\"
If you are anywhere else, you need:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Gain\Desktop;C:\""Test" lies in the first part, and the "pack" package still lies in "C:\".

Execution from JAR files and Classpaths -- Help

I am confused about how classes are resolved when running from within a JAR file, and why this is different than running a class that is not inside a JAR file.
I have an application that uses classes from a third party library stored in a JAR file (biojava.jar) . If I run the app from the class file it works as expected and is capable of finding the external classes when the path to the biojava.jar is on my classpath. It also works if biojava.jar is instead placed in the extensions folder jre/lib/ext folder without an explicit path entry in my classpath.
However when I package all my application classes up in a JAR file and try to execute the application from the JAR file it will ONLY work if I add a manifest entry to myApp.jar ... Class-Path: biojava.jar AND I place the file biojava.jar in the SAME directory as the Packaged JAR application. I would like to find a way to make this JAR file work for anyone who has biojava.jar in their classpath or ext directory. In other words I don't want my user community to have to copy the biojava.jar file when I email them myApp.jar. This community will already have biojava.jar on their CLASSPATH.
How can I make my app within a JAR recognize either the user's CLASSPATH or ext folder? I have tried reading the documentation and many experiments but the only way it works is as described above.
I am running Running Windows 2000.
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Here are the results of my experimentations:
The following Works:
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: biojava.jar
Place biojava.jar in the same directory as SequenceSpiral.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
This works perfectly
NONE of the following work
0) Placing biojava.jar in my jre/lib/ext directory instead of the same dir as SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
(this is the first class referenced from biojava.jar)
1) Just see if it will find the proper jar on my classpath
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
I have biojava.jar on my classpath but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
2) Specify the name if the jar in the Manifest Classpath and see if it will find the proper jar on my classpath
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: biojava.jar
I have biojava.jar on my classpath but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
3) Specify the path of the jar in the Manifest Classpath
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: d:/biojava/biojava.jar
I have biojava.jar on my classpath (D;\biojava\biojava.jar) but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
(note that in this case it is not fnding my main even though the Main-Class is specified)
4) Specify current directory and biojava.jar in the Manifest Class-Path
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: .;biojava.jar
I have biojava.jar on my classpath (D;\biojava\biojava.jar) but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
5)Specify current directory and the URL of biojava.jar in the Manifest Class-Path
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: . d:/biojava/biojava.jar

Thank you very much for any help or suggestions,

I did some more testing and I think I now understand what is going on.
I don't like it, but at least I understand it.
The problem: I have an app packaged into a JAR file, myApp.jar. It has a dependancy upon an external JAR file extern.jar.
extern.jar is on my Classpath (and also in jre/lib/ext)
1) For some reason (bug?) java -jar myApp.jar does NOT use the classpath or the jre/lib/ext mechanisms to find .jar files needed to resolve references to external classes. This seems to be true even if you add an explicit -classpath argument on the command line!
thus
java -jar -cp c:\\absolutePathToMy\extern.jar myApp.jar
also fails as does
java -cp c:\\absolutePathToMy\extern.jar -jar myApp.jar
2) Inside the myApp Jar file you can specify a URL to an jar extension jar file but the URL IS RELATIVE TO THE PATH WHERE THE myApp.Jar is executed from! If I add the Manifest item Class-Path: ..\..\..\myexterndir\extern.jar then
java -jar myApp.jar
works correctly and resolves the external references.
This is why several people have reported that this class-path mechanism works ONLY when the extern.jar file is in the SAME DIRECTORY as the myApp.jar file when they had added a Class-Path: extern.jar to the Manifest.
However together these two items make it IMPOSSIBLE to distribute myApp.jar to others and have it work since the path names statically encoded inside the jar are relative to where the jar gets executed from. If I move myApp.jar to a different location on my hard drive it may also fail.
In my case I know all my customers already have extern.jar (5MB) installed on their classpaths and I would like to just send them the myApp.jar ( .5MB ).
However I don't see how to do this given the current specification of a JAR file, and the bug that makes all -jar file act like they have the Sealed=true property.
I tried explicity setting Sealed=false in the manifest but this didn't seem to have any effect.
I hope that this will save others the many hours of time it has taken be to determine that JARS are not well suited for deploying apps with dependenncies on external libs.
I also hope that someone can show me how execute a JAR and specify a classpath that doesn't get IGNORED my the classloader used in loading the jar classes.
This is using java version:
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Does any one know this bug is fixed in a later release?

Can't fuse music from iPod to new PC iTunes Library - please help!!

I recently moved to a new country and transferred all my music on my iPod. Just bought a new PC and installed my iTunes, but can't figure out how to get my iPod music onto my Library. Please help, I'm getting frustrated!!!

Apparently, you open the music folder from your iPod drive (after it's been connected), then highlight all the files from the iPod folder and drag them to your My Music folder and import the folder to My Library. Don't forget to enable view of hidden files beforehand. Takes a little while, depending on how much music you have on your iPod.

Getting ipod songs to itunes library please help

ok i did a system revovery on my computer and i was woundering how i get my songs from my ipod to my library
gateway Windows XP ipod 30gb vid

I see you use windows xp. you could go out and pay 30 something bucks to get your songs back...or you could do it yourself. first allow hidden files to be seen then go to YouriPodHere>ipod_control>music. take that whole music folder and copy and paste it to your computers hard drive. go to itunes then go to file>add folder> then add that folder wherever you saved it. or you could always bother with paying for things that are done manually at a faster rate for free
hope this helps,

I check artists or albums to sync to my iphone and it says it syncs but then does not show up on my phone's music library. HELP

So, I'm trying to sync all my Jason Mraz to my iPhone. On iTunes, after I plug in my iPhone to my MacBookPro, on the iPhone tab I check the artist "Jason Mraz." I then sync my phone. I goes through the process then when I check the music library on my iPhone nothing shows up. I then try the same procedure with checking each individual album. Same thing. I tried turning the phone off and on to see if it would show up after I did that, and still nothing. Please help me!!

Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.
