Looking for confirmation...

When you do a reset as outlined in the intro are we talking about just resetting wi-fi items and NOT all iPad settings? Thanks

If you have a Mac running Leopard on your ethernet, you can put the backup disk (formatted as HFS+) on this Mac and your wife's Leopard Time Machine can use this disk as a backup device. This is what I do (in fact Time Machine is doing a backup as I type this).
Many people have used Time Capsule attached via ethernet to perform Time Machine backups. So, yes you can use Time Capsule via ethernet.
While officially unsupported by Apple, it has been reported the 802.11n Airport Extreme Base Stations with a USB disk attached can also be used as a Time Machine backup device (your mileage may vary on this).

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents. Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.

Issue with frames-based sites in Sf-3(L); Looking for confirmation

Is anyone else having issues with Safari 3 (Leopard) and frames-based sites? Specifically, frame sizes not being obeyed?
For example, phpMyAdmin's left Navi frame is, in most themes, supposed to be about 180px wide; if need be, the frame is coded to show scrollbars (again, in all the themes I've used so far anyway).
However, Safari 3.0.4 on Leopard apparently ignores this and resizes the left Navi frame to an unusably narrow width (for reasons unknown - it's not the the right frame is especially full or anything), with no scroll bars either! However, the very same phpMyAdmin site works fine in Firefox 2, where frame widths show up exactly as they are supposed to.
Is anyone else having or can duplicate this issue?

I've been having this problem for months, Safari 3 beta and now Safari 3 on Tiger as well as Leopard.

Looking for confirmation regarding absolute positioning...

Absolutely-positioned elements *never* interrupt the flow,
regardless of
what that element is.
As such, scrollbars completely ignore said elements at *all*
times, as if
they weren't there at all.
Are both those statements considered pretty much factual?

> Would there be any way *at all* to place a div outside
the viewport
> WITHOUT generating a scrollbar?
Yes - place it to the left of the left margin, or above the
top margin. 8)

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

I'm looking for a new small, efficient media player.

Hi there.
The background that will give you insight into my situation but doesn't need to be read
I come from a very cushioned past media-wise. When I really started to get into listening to music I was still using Windows. It was Winamp first, which I liked but found a little much, but a few coincidences later found XMPlay, a free but closed-source media player capable of playing not only some weird file formats such as MO3, MOD, IT, XM, S3M etc, of which I have a few files in this format, but also MP3, OGG, WAV, and all the other general stuff out there. The timing was just perfect and I "grew" into my "media years" with this player. I used it across my transition from Win98 to XP, and also used it on a Win95 laptop - and I don't even think I had to "help" the system "like" the player to make it work, although I could be wrong.
However, XMPlay has no Linux version, and as far as I can see, no porting is planned. And as I said before, it's closed source, so not much can be done there.
In my setup I had a machine set aside for media playback because it had a SB16 in it, and I'd run it with the bass set to 100% and treble set to 0%. Despite what you might think, the output was awesome with headphones - it could give me a good headache or two without distorting at all.
So, when I first switched to Linux, I didn't initially switch this machine over, but left it running Win98. This got to me in the end so I switched it over... and immediately faced issues. Since there was no port of XMPlay, I needed to find a new player, and fast. XMPlay has a bunch of audio postprocessing features I had enabled, none of which I found support or equivalents for in Linux (for example, an EQ setting promoting bassboost, in addition to that provided by the card - you can understand the headaches). I eventually gave up and ran XMPlay using WINE... and left it that way, for several months. I mean, it worked, didn't it? Then the fact that XMPlay over WINE on a 450MHz processor (it's a P3, haha) used 50%+ CPU -minimum- for the player to even be running (IIRC) got to me, so I decided once again that a new player had to be found. After some digging, I found XMMS to be the most likely candidate (it supports LADSPA and I could configure a bass-boost filter), and for the most part, it worked well. Quite well.
Then... after I recently found myself recording some audio from the SB16's output to my main machine's input (the simplest way to get around the issue that the bass boost isn't very easy to feed back into the card - or impossible, I haven't tried it for so long), and had my headphones connected to my desktop to monitor the recording. Then, after that was done, I somehow started listening to some other piece of music (through my main box), for whatever reason. I immediately noticed a rather stark contrast in quality to what I'd recorded from the SB16 and what I was listening to. A doublecheck later confirmed that yes, my SB16 was of terrible quality, and yes, I needed a solution, since I wasn't gonna listen to that kinda sound quality anymore now that I knew.
Over the past few weeks (months?) up until this point I've slowly been weaning myself off the music I liked so much (XMs and MODs, and maybe the occasional S3M), and the postprocessing features I thought had glued themselves into my ears....
The, uh, like, point.
....so I need a media player that doesn't have much in terms of sound processing, but meets all the following requirements, either built in or as a plugin (as logically applicable):
* Can hide completely, leaving only a hotkey to bring it back. I don't use a system tray and don't want to, for any purpose.
* Is written in a compiled language.
* Has configurable global hotkey support
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
* Has good file management / playlist support
* Is something I can throw a gigantic directory tree at and expect to load all the music in it, FAST. I could throw my entire 32GB HDD at XMPlay when I wanted to see/remember what new music was on it and I'd just leave it alone for slightly under 5 minutes. When I returned to it, bam, playlist. That was on the 450MHz P3, running Win98. XMPlay also gave me feedback - if you can recommend something that shows me where it is on the filesystem, that'd be great.
Up until now, Audacious has met those requirements. But it's had the following issues:
* The track details window won't open for random tracks
* The time display stuffs up for tracks longer than >60m, showing the position at 0:59, then, 1:40, then after 10 minutes have passed 1:41, etc
* The volume control randomly forgets how to change the volume, and I refuse to change the controller to use a software volume since it'll induce delays
* The system has no ability to add directories recursively - this was present in XMMS, but the BMP guys removed it (?!?!?!) and since Audacious is a fork of BMP, ...
* The latest version's global hotkeys plugin restores the window to a non-changeable location when I use the "toggle player windows" function. As a visual person I find this a huge blocker.
Now for the list of players that don't do what I want. XD
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, even thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
* audacious - ...
* xmms - too boring. GTK1. old stuff. unsupported.
* xmms2 - seems too "unreachable". I haven't tried this player yet, mostly because Arch has no clients in the repos. *stab*
* banshee - 200TB of dependencies, and it needs 400TB of RAM to run. Read: I dislike Mono.
* rhythmbox, banshee, amarok, exaile, quod libet - iTunes-ey UI. I hate iTunes-ey UIs.
* songbird - depends on the Gecko rendering engine. I have 512MB RAM, and I already run Firefox, thanks.
* bmp, xmms, audacious - winamp-ey UI. I want to move away from winamp-ey UIs.
If you have any suggestions... I'll be amazed.

* Can hide completely, leaving only a hotkey to bring it back. I don't use a system tray and don't want to, for any purpose.
Sonata, disable system tray icon, modify any panel settings to ignore it
* Is written in a compiled language.
mpd is written in C
* Has configurable global hotkey support
Set up keybindings for mpc commands
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
mpd uses basic C, many, many GUIs for it around, extremely small memory footprint
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
Keybind alsamixer commands
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
Is there a modern media player that doesn't do this?
* Has good file management / playlist support
I never use mpd's playlist capabilities, but they do seem fairly extensive.
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, evn thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
Apparently you have never heard of symbolic links. OH SNAP! Just create a single directory to collect all the links in. Also, mpd does not expect everything to be in one folder; it expects everything to be available from one parent folder, allowing you to organize beneath that parent.
The problem you're having isn't that you're looking for a music player, you're looking for a wm/media player/file manager, and that just doesn't exist on Linux, largely because we are sane (for the sake of argument, ignore Songbird right now, I don't think any of us are crazy enough to use it anyways). Like looking for a zebroctonoceros, even though a zebra exists, an octopus exists, and a rhinoceros exists, they do not exist in the same creature. For interfacing with X (keybindings and the disappearing music player), you're better off going through a configurable wm like Openbox. For the actual music playing, well, I don't see any problems with mpd besides your music files being messy, and you can't expect music playing software to solve a personal organization problem. If your file system is messy, then use a file manager to fix it, not your mp3 player. I put a lot of effort into keeping my music files properly tagged and accessible from a single top level directory called music, which then splits off into mp3/ogg files, flac files, podcasts, etc, and that largely solves the problem of wondering where s--t is.
Another idea for you, if you have multiple machines. Collect all your music onto a single machine, and then set up that system to serve exclusively as an mpd jukebox you can listen to from your other computers over the network. Give it a try.

How do I stop mavericks from looking for an old server and nagging me that it can't find it?

MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4
Had it set up to connect to my main iMac for shared files. Wife complained that when my iMac wasn't on the MacBook constantly nagged her with a message saying it couldn't connect to the server (my iMac).
Removed sharing on my iMac. Removed recent server list from the MacBook Air. Removed my iMac from the finder side bar in the MacBook. Now the MacBook Air constantly naggs us that it can't find the server (name of my iMac). I just want the @#$@# thing to shut up, quit looking for the iMac and be quiet.
Need help as I can't figure this one out.
PLEASE!!

There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be hard to resolve. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A known offender is "AdobeResourceSynchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products. See also this discussion.
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
          Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
          Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Step 8
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Step 9
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 10
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master          # Use directory service
/net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-               -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

Looking for shelf system that will work with 5th gen 8g Nano?

Hi,
I'm looking for a shelf stereo system with integrated iPod dock that will work with my 5th gen 8 gig Nano that I received as a gift. I've been researching this and have a found a few candidates such as the JVC UX-GN8 or UX-LP5, or the SONY CMT-BX20i. But... have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model. Anyone have one of those units, or something similar, that works? Also, is it true that the Apple Cradle ($49.99+cable) has some problems docking the 5th generation Nano in the sense that all the features are not accessible (audio, video, etc.)? Thanks for any and all responses.

have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model.
If their websites do not specifically state that their product works with the *iPod Nano 5th Generation _with video,*_ its more likely their product is not compatible. You can try calling them if possible to confirm.
Have you checked MacMall's website?

Looking for a MFC, printer/scanner

I am looking for an all in one printer scanner. I need both the printer and the scanner to work in arch linux, and I don't want to spend a week making it happen. I would prefer something that supports ethernet and both features work over the network but that isn't absolutely necessary. After wasting 2 hours looking at printers then looking up their linux support I decided to ask you guys. What do you use that meets my requirements? would you recommend it to someone who hadn't just killed your cat?

In our office we have been using a Brother MFC8860DN for three years now. We use Debian linux exclusively. Very good choice, thinking of buying the MFC8880DN to have a backup for when our first MF should start to lose its feathers... Last week I wrote my first bash script to use together with this device: I have it scan to ftp and our server performs OCR on the scan automatically.
Brother has full linux support. They provide drivers in deb and rpm, but I guess it should not be a problem to get those packages working in arch linux.
I'm quite surprised to see so many HP-fans out here, but probably their drivers are better for linux than they are for windows. The last HP Photosmart-printer had a driver that was 345MB big, and it could not be installed because the printer had been connected to the laptop *prior* to installing the driver. I had to reinstall windows just to get that printer (mostly) working... So no HP printers for me anymore
I can confirm that the HP drivers for Windows suck big time. When I turned on my new printer, I first installed it on my laptop. I ran a pacman -S hplip, ran the software, detected my printer over wireless, and was ready within a minute or so. Then I installed the printer on my desktop archer. Same results: I was ready within a minute. Then I booted into Windows XP. I had to download some serious MBs, and when I executed the exe file, installation was aborted halfway, because Windows were not installed on C:. After long research, I found the cure, which was a joke. I had to mount my system drive (E:) as a network drive and perform the installation in there LOL. Anyways, after installation, my whole system was getting very jerky and unresponsive, and cpu usage was getting very high. Didn't bother any more, just uninstalled it completely. Not much of a problem, though, since I have to use Windows rarely for a couple of apps.

Changing Sort Order in Smart Album when Looking for Roll Name=Corruption

We've confirmed via testing and from new posters that changing the sort order in a Smart Album who's criteria is to look for a roll name will cause iPhoto to crash and then crash upon launch after that.
So to avoid corrupting your library do not change the sort order of a Smart Album designed to locate rolls.
The thread discussing this is:
IPhoto keeps on crashing, cannot use it
Rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager recovered the library. However, I don't know if a rebuild via the Control+Option key will do the same.
G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 22 Display, 250G HD, 200G FW HD, QT 7.0.4P Mac OS X (10.4.6) Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, 2G Nano

Ha! I upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.3 and opened the dummy library I had created. (This was the library where the crash on launch kept happening because I had a smart folder looking for rolls and sorted by title or something else other than the default.)
Guess what, it opened just fine! 6.0.3 fixes the crash. Not sure how much it helps people who started new libraries, but at least others won't run into this.

Looking for someone on x86_64 to test a snippet of C#

I'm having trouble getting a piece of C# code to work. It's 100% correct and was found working by two users running x86, however on my x86_64 it doesn't.
It should display an icon in the notification area ('system tray'). For me it won't show the icon in gnome, but neither in openbox + trayer. The other two x86(!) users tested in on Gnome as well, and did get the icon to show up.
I'm looking for someone else on x86_64 to test this code, to eliminate (or confirm) that it's a very obscure x86_64 bug. Make sure you're fully synched up - that is Mono 1.9.1, with (preferably) Gnome 2.22.3 (but if it won't work on KDE/Xfce/anything else that pretty much identifies the problem as well).
You can find the 20-line snippet at http://pastebin.com/m4ebdcba6 (save as Test.cs)
Compiling is easy, `mcs -r:System.Drawing,System.Windows.Forms Test.cs` should do the trick, followed by `mono Test.exe`. You will get a messagebox, and at that time it *should* display the icon.
Thanks.

I have Arch64 on Intel Core2Duo, with [testing] repository enabled.
I use KDE 3.5.9. I could try it with KDE 4-svn later as well
Mono version: extra/mono-1.9.1-1
I tried that file and when I disable autohiding of my panel, it works correctly:
http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/5647/screen1lf1.png
If I hide the panel manually (by using the hide button on the right), and I show it again, the icon disappears, but the space is still occupied:
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/473/screen3on2.png
When I have auto-hiding disabled, it appears fine (just like in the first picture), but when the panel hides and appears again I get black rectangle:
http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/3091/screen2ye7.png
The first time I tried it, the rectangle was white instead

Firefox insists on looking for some links on local disk

The other day, Firefox, out of the blue, asked me to confirm something which I did, but was swamped and did not notice the details of the question. Now, when I go to my own website (which is not problem) but try to click on a relative link, Firefox looks for the html file on my local machine instead of the Internet. I have looked for options to alter, checked the registry, etc, and can't stop this. Third party links embedded in my website open normally. This is driving me crazy and I see that some other people have had this problem...but their pleas for help did not garner them a solution. Help!

SP won't open - looking for something elses

Try to open SP to lay some tracks against a movie I am working on.
ONce it opens it is looking for a file to anther program - NI pro-53 - and will not do anything when I click to confirm finding the file.
Re-instaled SP. REmoved Pro-53. Still does it.
What can I do?

"Material is not the same for confirmation and delivery"

Hello
If this is not the right forum, my apologies. Direct me to the correct one if it is not ....
Have been doing automated test development (HP's QTP) against SAP systems for over a year. I am not an application expert - very much a newbie when it comes to application knowledge but trying to gain some. I have "googled" the phase "Material is not the same for confirmation and delivery" and have not been able to find any references. What does this mean?
I see this message for an iDoc using WE02. Have looked and looked but don't really know what I'm looking for.
Clues?
Thanks,
DW

DW,
I have never seen that exact message, but I have seen similar ones. Generically, the message probably means that you are attempting to perform a transaction against a document (perhaps a Purchase order?) and the Material number (Part Number) contained in the transaction is not the same as the Material number in the originating document in SAP.
An example might be you have previously created a confirmation against a Purchase order, which now exists in SAP. This Confirmation is for a specific Purchase order, item, and material. Now, when you attempt to create an inbound delivery for the Confirmation, the material number contained in the new IDOC is different from the material number that was contained in the original Confirmation.
I don't know what IDOC Message type you are having the problem with, but generically you can do some troubleshooting. Find the SAP Material number in the IDOC (MATNR probably). Find the appropriate reference document number in the IDOC (confirmation number? Purchase order number? or...?), and then manually review the document in SAP to ensure that the Material numbers are the same.
If you are totally lost, you should really consult with an SAP App expert. I am guessing that this is part of the Materials Management module, so you would be asking for an MM expert.
Or, you can send more details, and we can try to help.
What is the IDOC message type?
What is the Message number of the error message? Functionally, what is this IDOC trying to do, from a business perspective?
Rgds,
DB49

Looking for confirmation...
