Need and advice !!

Hi out there,
I'm trying to write a database-backed web application that would be used as a meeting-scheduling tool. It would work as following:
-Let's say there are 10 people who constantly need to meet with each other but it's hard for them to schedule the meeting that fits to everybody's schedule. There would be this meeting-scheduling tool on the web that would allow each one of them to log in (or register if not already registered), enter the time when he/she is available (for a day or a week) and log out. After everybody set his/her schedule, the application would find a time when everybody is available and automatically send an email to everybody with the date and time when meeting is supposed to take place.
My question here is: what should I use to develop an application like this? Would it be possible to do it using Java servlets and Tomcat server? For someone like me, who knows Java (pretty good but not an expert) and JDBC but has no idea about servlets and Tomcat server,how long would it take me to complete this project? Where should start from? All I'm asking is your opinion since there are numerous Java experts on these forums and I'm sure they can give me some ideas and valuable advices about this project. Thanks a lot,Jimmy.

First of all,thank you all for your advices and opinions. They mean a lot to me. As I already said,I have some experience with java programming but not with Tomcat server and servlets or JSP. The reason why I mentioned servlets and Tomcat is because some people who know more about this suggested me to use them to develop this kind of app. All I'm trying to do is to get the most advices I could possible get from different people and then based on those advice decide what my options are and which seem to fit best in my application development. Also,since I would need to implement a database in this app, do you think I could simply use Access for this purpose? Once again, thanks a lot and if there is anything else that you might wanna add,I would really appreciate, Jimmy.

Multiple device syncing advice needed and appreciated.

Hey everyone, happy holidays to everyone
I need some advice from you Apple lovers out there if you can spend some time replying. Thanks alot in advanced
My devices and current status
13" Macbook Pro with 8gig RAM with lion OS - Mosty used for word processing, DJing, low Internet usage now that i have Ipad, photo management, DVD ripping etc etc - i use this as my main device to organise emails and i purchase most apps, music and films on this device too
Ipad2 - Mostly for media content, web browsing, Youtube, playing games, FB, watching films. I use this device for fun not functionality or work related things
Iphone 4 - Usual phone usage, I use my phone as my main device for iCal, contacts, checking emails/messages on the move
2GB time capsule - brand new in the box as yet unused
Generally speaking i get confused or change my mind frequently about what to sync to which device, i started off using icloud but then things got confusing and i had things real messed up, multiple same contacts, apps on differnet device, differnet music on all 3 devices so now for the moment i think of my Macbook as the main device with both my iphone and ipad backed up to the Macbook. I then back up all of this on a regular 500g external Hard Drive.
So my questions are as follows
1. Can and should i use icloud to back up my devices and if so how should i do this effectivly
2. What syncing procedure would suit me best
3. How should i integrate Timecapsule to my devices
Any other suggestions would really be apreciated
Thanks again

The second part puzzles me - excuse me (but i honestly don't know) do both units give off a wifi signal of roughly equal 'amounts'?
Yes. Since both are connected by "Ethernet" each base station is its own wireless network and you have a few options on how best to configure them.
One of those options is to give both wireless networks the same Network Name (or SSID) so that you can, for example, "walk" a laptop from one to the other and stay connected. This is known as a roaming network.
If this is something that you don't desire or have a requirement for, then leaving them as two separate wireless networks would work just as well.
So what i am asking - i guess - is can i increase the distance the wifi signal reaches of the second unit (the time capsule - that is wired to the airport extreme)
To extend the wireless range of the Time Capsule (TC) you would need another 802.11n AirPort, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). This should get a stronger signal out to the garden. Of course, it would really depend on the distance from the TC to where you would like to place the AXn to get the best results.
Let me know if you need help configuring the base stations.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

Need Help and Advice Rebuilding!

Hi All!New here, and in desperate need of advice on rebuilding my credit. My score has now dropped from 550 to 429 based on some medical bills (11) in collections from when i was uninsured, totaling about $9,000. I briefly considered using a credit repair company, but am skeptical of paying so much for something i can mabe do myself. My question is how do i go about getting these items off of my credit report? I obviously do not have $9,000 lying around. A coworker told me she had used Sky Blue, and another said Lexington Law was good, but that i could probably generate my own dispute letters. Is disputing these accounts the best way to go? What should I do?? I'm so confused.

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

Session/jstl and load balancing - need expert advice

After user loggs in, I am getting locale from db and storing it inside userSession along with userLogin. Inside jsp using <fmt> tag to display locale based resource property.
HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
userSession.setAttribute("UserLogin", oRS.getString("user_login"));
Config.set(userSession, Config.FMT_LOCALE, currentLocale);Also using filter after login page to check for User Session. Currently all working fine .
But if i want to make use of load balancing, whether still it will work?
1)I understand that if i depend on network config i.e. session request sticks to one server then i believe shld not be a problem
2)But if that is not the choice then what else ? Client want to make use of serialization technique. I do not know much about it, how to implement it, any sample is greatly appreciated.
3)what about jstl Config.set(..) whether any changes needed here?
4)Do i need to change filter code.
Pls pls help me, i really need expert advice on this.
regards
Manisha

1)If i want cluster server to replicate the session
then all attributes saved in the session have to be
serializable.yes.
2)In docs it is mentioned
Use setAttribute to Change Session State
In an HTTP servlet that implements
javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use
HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the
deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a
session object. If you set attributes in a session
object with setAttribute, the object and its
attributes are replicated in a cluster using
in-memory replication. If you use other set methods
to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server
does not replicate those changes. Every time a change
is made to an object that is in the session,
setAttribute() should be called to update that object
across the cluster.
Whether it means that if I want to store a object
(which is serializable) e.g. 'String' inside session
and use setAttribute() method then I do not need to
make that object implicitly serializable?No, you still need the objects to be serializable.

A very new user needs some help and advice....

Hi,
I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
I hope what I have explained makes sense.
Regards
John

So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

Need your advices on MacBook Pro Retina

Hi all !
I'm in the market for getting a new laptop.
To put you in context, I'm a student studying electronics. Normally, I know what I'm talking about ;-) lol
I work as a park supervisor. I could not get a better summer job since I can study while working ! Every day, I sits in the park, turn on my laptop and start coding, reading and studying. Being paid to study is sincerly amazing ! ahah !
So, I study most of the time in the park, on my laptop.
I also have a powerful workstation (Asus P8P67 WS Revolution, Core i7 2700K 4.5 GHz, Asus GeForce GTX 680 DirectCUII, 16 GB RAM, RAID 0 SSD, a beautiful monster) for long works and coding session. I also do a lot of virtualization with VMWare Workstation. In fact, I've built a virtualization concept which segregates each tasks in different VMs.
But, my laptop is an essential tool for me because I use it as much as my workstation. I'm used to carry it at school and at work. So usage is about 50/50 between my Workstation and my laptop.
I started learning the CUDA API and massively parrallel programming. I bought the Cuda By Example book ( http://www.amazon.ca/CUDA-Example-Introduction-General-Purpose-Programming/dp/01 31387685 ). My Asus UL30VT has a CUDA-Capable GPU in it, along with the integrated Intel chipset. So I setup everything for Visual Studio, install the nVIDIA SDK, and start programming.
Here comes the trouble.
Neither Visual Studio nor the nVIDIA SDK (which contains code samples) see the GeForce G210M in my laptop.
I searched a little over the internet and found that the integration of the graphics processors in this laptop is the worst kind of integration ever built in a laptop. The GPU switching technology is the "beta" version of the nVIDIA Optimus technology. The video drivers are more than obselete (197.xx driver version!!!!) and no more recent version is available, even with tweaks.
Absolutely no CUDA code would run in my laptop.
Sure, I could code on my workstation. But it's summer, and being stuck in the house basement while it's sunny outside ... ***** ... lol
And as I said, since I study most of the time (~90%) in my park, it's not very usefull to have a laptop that cannot do what you want anymore...
So I started my research to find a new laptop that would fit my needs. Easier to say than to do...
There is one month, Apple has announced the new MacBook Pro 15 Retina Edition.
I went in an Apple Store to take a look at these nothing else than piece of art.
And you'll guess it : I've fallen in love with this machine.
Thin, lightweight, good battery life, incredible display, amazing hardware. Everything on this laptop is incredible. Even the price ..................
Sure, the non-retina display is also a good machine, but being used to an ultraportable laptop (pre-ultrabook fashion), I would like it to be has thin and light as possible. And the non-retina has less high-end hardware too...
Since I saw this machine, the idea of getting one haunts me!
I tell myself that I could do more shots with one rock. I could learn the OS X environment which is, according to everyone who has an Apple computer, the best working environment ever created. And since I do a lot of virtualization but never could do this with my ultra-low-voltage CPU, the MacBook would also enable this possibility.
More and more programmers are adopting OS X to code. nVIDIA has also said that the new MacBook is one of the best CUDA development platform.
( http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/06/new-macbook-pros-make-for-great-cuda-dev-platfor ms/ ). Sure, I have a long road to go throught before being a real developper, but as you might have seen, I like to work on things that really work well.
So, the 2700$-question : according to you and all the details I wrote here, does a MacBook Pro would be a nice choice for me ?
For this price (in Canadian dollars, I live in Montreal, Quebec), I have the MacBook, the Apple Care for 3 years and VMWare Fusion. It's a 400$-discount that I get because I'm a student (200$ on the machine, 100 $ on the Apple Care, and a 100$ gift card to get the iWork Suite and other softwares if needed).
The Non-Retina model is not an option, since I must upgrade it with SSD, 8 GB RAM et would like a better screen resolution. With all these upgrades, it's even pricier than the Retina which come more equiped.
I've looked to other laptop manufacturers too. Dell offers the XPS 15, but it's bulkier, doesn't feature has much as the MacBook, and I would not pay 1900 $ for a "Dell"......... Lenovo makes great laptop too, but I don't know ... Thinkpad are sure the reference as business laptops, but are heavy and bulky. Maybe I've missed a model... The IdeaPad is a nice ultrabook, but once again, it's an Ultra low voltage CPU, so virtualization would be so-so I guess... And Asus has nothing really exciting avalaible at NCIX (the main Asus online reseller in Canada and also the online shop where I buy all my system components).
One other thing : with all non-Mac laptops, I'm at the "mercy" of the manufacturer regarding GPU drivers, just like my Asus UL30VT... Most of the time, the Verde drivers would not install and you get the very nice message "Please refere to your laptop manufacturer for drivers" ......... -_-"
I request your experience and advice to clarify my choice.
Thank you very much !!!

I was going to try to convince you to go with a PC notebook, but I know nothing about them. As you're concerned about weight, CUDA development, etc., I think that the MBP-R would be an excellent choice. I'm in a wheelchair and carry my MBP around in my backpack on back of my chair, so I don't worry about weight too often...
It sounds as if you're bright enough to be able to learn new things quickly, so there's no need, I think, to go with the usual "if you're already familiar with Windows, why not... etc."
It also sounds as if you've both thought things through and have decided on what you need. My opinion? Go with your gut feelings and thoughts. Just remember that you're going to be on the bleeding edge, somewhat. There are some here who have had problems with their new MBP's - and not just the Retina models. But then, we don't hear about the thousands (tens of thousands?) out there who are having no problems.
Three things to remember - if you have trouble with your new computer during the first two weeks, Apple will replace it, refund your money, whatever. Second, AppleCare (which I always buy) extends your one year warranty and 90-day phone support to a three year warranty with three years of phone support. And third, this is a large community and there will always be someone here who can help you through minor glitches you may have.
Go with your gut - get that new MacBook Pro with Retina display. I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. I would go ahead, though, and pay the $79 for the external USB SuperDrive - not to carry around with you but just as insurance should you ever need an optical drive.
Best of luck,
Clinton

Need expert advice on buying new macbook pro 15 inch

Hi I Am a digital textile designer and planning to buy my first retina macbook pro. I need expert advice, which model should i buy 15 inch base model or with dedicated graphics card. i will use macbook for digital designing on Adobe photoshop and multi tasking. so now really confused is intel iris pro graphics will handle heavy files on photoshop or Nvidia GT750 m will good for heavy work. I am working on very large resolution file like 10 to 15k in resolution approx 1 GB in file size with lot of filters is being use while designing. Which model will handle above task well and last longer.

Look at the specifications here:
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro
You may be confusing the quad core CPU with the Graphics processor.
It should have no difficulty in running Adobe Photoshop.
Ciao.

In need of advice/help.

I am having some serious issues with my MacBook.
First, I think it is overheating. I can not run my computer for longer then an hour without it getting hot. My keyboard is getting hot along with my charger. I am not sure if this is a normal MacBook thing but it is slowing down my computer is so many ways.
Another thing is I cannot run more then one application at a time. I am a graphic design major and I need to be able to run Adobe CS2 programs. For example, Say I am running In-Design and I need to make a fix in Photoshop, In-Design will quit. I have tried so many things to fix this but nothing works.
I have alot of problems of running Safari also. I am very dissapointed and frustrated and I need some advice.
Please. I have been having issues for awhile and thought it was just how these computers run, but I think I was mistaken. This is my first Apple computer.
Thank you for reading and your input.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Stacey, I pointed you to an app called Temperature Monitor that will give an accurate temperature reading of your MacBook.
Never EVER use your MacBook on a pillow or a blanket that can block airflow. I have no doubt that is adding to the problem.
Download and install the firmware updates as well as Temperature Monitor found HERE. That way we can know what temps we are talking about. There is no way to tell if they are high if you cannot give us a reading.

Need and advice !!
