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.

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,

Filcking right a little bit on trackpad makes webpages stop working.

Sorry if my English is broken...
I'm using Safari 7.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 installed MacBook Pro.
The trouble is just as menthoned in the title.
If you have Majic Trackpad or built-in trackpad, try these steps... These steps make the problem happen.
Open Safari.
Visit some webpage.
Then visit another webpage.
Finally, using trackpad, flick rightwards a little(as you do when you go back to the previous page, but do it just a little bit & release your finger quickly).
And when those steps 'work', following horrible glitches will happen:
The webpage you're visiting is shifted slightly to the right and the webpage you were visiting before can be seen a little. (This is the sign of 'success!')
The webpage stops working. You will never be able to write into a textbox on that page and so on.
You can't visit websites in that tab anymore. You can see webpages being loaded, but nothing happen in your tab.
Trackpad scrolling in other tabs is blocked until you close the tab in question.
I'm surprised because I've never had such a problem before...
So, the question is: What is this caused by? And how can I prevent it? (Well, trying not to flick a little IS one solution, but not this time XD)

There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.

Stupid Question, but.......

I run TM on three Macs (two iMacs and a MacBook Pro). I really do not know much about TM other than once set-up it runs pretty much on its own backing up the computers. Does it back everything up including iTunes? I know that this is probably a stupid question but if it does back up iTunes, is there a need to separately back up iTunes to DVDs/CDs or another external drive?
Thanks!

Definitely NOT a stupid question. And the answer is . . . it depends on how much risk you want to take. As great as locally-attached external drives and Time Capsules are, they may not protect you from fire, flood, theft, or direct lightning strike on your power lines. So if your music (or other data) is really important to you, and difficult, expensive, or impossible to replace, then yes, you need an off-site backup in addition to TM.
There are many ways to do this. Some folks alternate between a pair of portable externals with Time Machine, keeping one attached for a week or so, then swapping with the other in their safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc. (You do have to tell TM when you do this, and shouldn't go much longer than 7 days between swaps.)
Others copy their data to DVD/RW(s) periodically, and take them off-site.
Still others use a different app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to copy just their iTunes folder, and/or iMovie folder, etc., to a smaller portable external and take that off-site.
Still others, if their data isn't too large, store a copy online, either via a MobileMe subscription on their iDisk, or with a 3rd-party service like Mozy.
And there is an option within iTunes to do incremental backups to CDs/DVDs. I haven't used it, but it's been recommended here.
This may seem a bit like wearing a belt plus suspenders, but backups are one area where many of us have learned, often the hard way, that +Paranoia is Prudent!+

Potentially stupid question

I work in a photography studio and I am relatively unfamiliar with InDesign, having just gotten the program myself.
One of our clients is having a problem with our Photoshop files when they import them into InDesign. We gave them a disk of images (jpegs and tifs). These images having clipping paths around them (in addition to being dropped onto a white background). There seems to be no problems with tifs. If they attempt to use a jpeg, it will only appear to import as the path itself (just an outline).
I found people saying that clipping paths don't work with jpegs (but all this info was extremely dated) but other than that, I couldn't find anything remotely indicating the problem. After a little bit of searching, I advised them to turn off the PS path when working with the image and that did appear to work.
They are, unfortunately, displeased with this answer (they think it will take too much time with so many images) and I was wondering if there were any other solutions to the problem. They've got the disk, so there isn't a whole lot we can do on our end to fix the problem... and I'm not even entirely sure what caused the problem to begin with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but here goes:
By default, ID honors a clipping path (I think that's what you mean is happening) when it opens an image that contains one. This can be changed after the fact from the Object > Clipping Path > Options... dialog, or before the file is placed by showing the import options and unchecking the the box that says to use the path.
If you uncheck that box on one image, the setting should stick, at least for the current session, and there should be no need to show options again just to turn off the path. I usually use the shortcut of leaving the "Show Import Options" box UNCHECHED in the place dialog and hold down the Shift key while clicking OK to show the import options only when I need them.

Here's a really stupid question re servers.

I am a techie on individual computers with no experience on servers. The aim is to have a server for 5 computers with the following features- ALL files stored on the server, e-mail server, print sharing, remote access away from the office for both mail and files.
Now all of that is possible I know with apple and I can learn easy enough. What i don't understand is setting up the mail server.
I currently use "oneandone" where my 10 domains are held with about 15 pop3 e-mail accounts that go to individual computers (expensive business)
If I buy the apple os server, do I no longer need the mail services of "oneandone"?? I'm confused as to what the pop or smtp server names if they no longer host the mail..Also if it means you can set up unlimited e-mail accounts at your domain, how does the server know its your domain (i.e. can i not just set up [email protected])
Clearly thats a stupid question and very basic but I'm hunting for an answer!
Thanks so much.

Thanks. Tim. point taken and duly noted. On the mail-
so that means all i need to do is register the
domains and simply pay for the domain names on a
yearly basis. Then I ask the domain registration
company to point MX records to my server and thats
it? (of course..then I set up the server to host all
the mail..)?
That's it. If you use a cheap DIY registration company then you will get access to your own DNS records and so add the MX record yourself. You may want to consider a secondary MX record for when the main server is down - dyndns.org offer this type of service or maybe the domain registration company can offer it. The secondary server service just holds the mail until it can deliver it to the main server.
It's certainly worth spending a bit of time with a temporary server and a few test domains until you understand the server config and have tested everything out.

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume, basically the speakers just sound weird, there's no word to describe it, I can't really hear any bass from my speakers

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Stupid Question Help needed....

Hi Folks...
I have a very Stupid Question....
but i think you Folks here can help me Quick...
Here is what i want to do...
01 class ourCar {
02
03 public String color;
04
05 public void PrintValue(String YourValue){
06      System.out.println(this.YourValue );
07
08      }
09 }
10
11 public class myApp {
12 public static void main (String[] args) {
13
14 ourCar Car1;
15 Car1 = new ourCar();
16
17 Car1.color = "red";
18 Car1.PrintValue("color");
19 }
20 }
So the Compiling Problem starts at 05 it seems i cant
get Parameter Names with Strings... so what i want to do is...
type
Car1.PrintValue("color");
and it should print out red
i Know i could write
System.out.println(car1.color);
But i want to do it the other way...
a other thing would be to make
myVar = "car1.color"
and then run
System.out.println(myVar);
but these is also not working...
any idears?
greetings from munich
peter

but where is the Thinking Error i have?
KJKrum wrote i should not use the language this way...
what would be the right way for doing a job like this?You have a very simple example. Reflection which is what both threads suggest as a solution is complex and should be used with caution because of the performance and maintenance problems that can arise.
So one has to wonder, for such a simple problem, does it not suggest that perhaps your design is not correct and if you took another look at it you could come up with a solution that is more appropriate and leads to code with is much simpler.
I believe that was the intent of the suggestion.
For example if you really must access 'attributes' via a key then have you considered that perhaps you don't have attributes but rather 'properties'. And if so there is already a Properties class. And if the Properties class is a little to constraining then the Hashtable might also fulfill what you are trying do. Keep in mind that these depend on whether the best design for your project really requires accessing values via a string.

Stupid question - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

Hello,
I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on? Are there dual-bootable Windows/Solaris systems or something? What about laptops? I will start searching myself for info, but if anyone knows of a great strehouse of info on this matter, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

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.

Hi, Tom.
FYI: You've not stated which of your listed Macs is having the problem. However, the following may help in any case:
1. Did you install Front Row using the Front Row hack on a Mac that did not ship from the factory with Front Row installed? If so, See my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ. This has been known to cause a variety of problems, including the menu bar (Clock, Spotlight) issues you noted.
2. If you did not install the Front Row Hack, an incompatible or corrupted Startup or Login Item may be partly to blame for the problems with the menu bar. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
4. Re: Safari and Mail, if not sorted by any of the above, see also:• "Safari: Blank icon after installing Security Update 2006-002 v1.0."
