NEED HELP! Possibly easy question about 'sorting' on your iPod

I can't find the answer anywhere... You know when you sort on 'artist' (or probably anything) on your iPod, if the artist's name is "The Beatles", the artist will be found under the letter "B", not "T". Or if the artist's name is "A Perfect Circle", the artist will be found under "P" and not "A". Etc...
Is there a way to change this? I actually don't mind it, but was curious because:
Is there a way to add words that it would do this for? i.e. add the word "Tha" in iTunes for your iPod so artist "Tha Dogg Pound" is found under "D" and not under "T".
Sorry if this answer is somewhere but I cannot find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!!!

In iTunes for Windows the auto-sort feature is controlled by the file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\<Region Code>.lproj\SortPrefixes.plist. For English the words ignored for sorting are "A ", "An " & "The ". You could edit this list or just use the Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist etc. fields as necessary when you'd like something sorted into a different position. I can't recall ever testing to see if the iPod picks up on changes made to this file so it may be that another properties file would need editing on the classic in order to achieve the same end.

Need help! easy question about scrollpane?

DefaultStyledDocument document = new DefaultStyledDocument();
JTextPane tp = new JTextPane(document);
tp.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));
JScrollPane tpScrollPane = new JScrollPane();
tpScrollPane.setBounds(new Rectangle(5,5,100,200));
tpScrollPane.getViewport().add(tp, null);
the compile and run are both OK. but i found it quite strange that the vertical scroll bar works well while the horizental scroll bar doesn't work. when the string inputed up to the width, more inputted characters will be showed in a new line. Could anyone have the same experience and know how to solve it?
any suggestions are appreciated!
thanks in advance!

have you tried it using
tpScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS;

You should be fine, just make sure the new one has the current firmware, dock it to the computer, & away you go.

Need help reinstalling Yosemite/Question about external hard drive

I have an early MacBook Pro and I have to reinstall Yosemite because I've been getting nothing but spinning beach balls, slow loading, lag in type showing up, and wi-fi issues. I took the laptop to the Genius Bar at the Apple store last week and they ran diagnostics on everything and all was perfectly OK. No hardware issues, no memory issue and he said my laptop was very clean. He saw the spinning beach ball many times while he was working on my laptop and suggested that I turn off File Vault as that could be causing the slowdown. He said if that didn't work (it didn't) to buy an external hard drive (which I received today) and to back up everything through Time Machine then reinstall Yosemite. I specifically bought an external HD that says "for Mac" and as soon as I connected it Time Machine opened and did the backup.
Now these are my questions. Are all my photos on iPhoto, and my Word for Mac documents backed up so that when I reinstall Yosemite, everything is going to be right where I left it? Will I lose Word for Mac and have to reinstall it? Isn't Word for Mac a one time use/install and will I have trouble and have to call Microsoft to input my authentication key in again and will they let me? I know silly questions but I'm really worried about losing stuff.
Also step-by-step detailed instruction on how to reinstall Yosemite would really be appreciated. Thank you!

If you have taken the backup using the Time machine then there is nothing to worry as all your photos from iPhotos and Word for mac documents are backup safely by your time machine.
Only keep one thing in mind that the external HDD which you use for the time machine backup should have the capacity size of about 3-4 times that of your backup data size. Or else, the time machine external drive will start deleting the files if the external drive is about to be full.

You absolutely don’t have to reinstall the Word for mac if its install in the first place because Time machine will backup the system installed files of your MS Word which you had installed.
Word for mac is a one time install and you don’t have to call Microsoft for any authentication key after you have restored your Word backup files from the time machine drive. As I said before the time machine will backup your Word system installed files leaving you no chance to reinstall it again.

Here, Yosemite reinstall procedure......
Important: To reinstall OS X, you must be connected to the Internet. Make sure your power adapter is plugged in. Reinstall OS X using the built-in recovery disk.
In the menu bar, choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command and R keys.
Select Disk Utility, then click Continue.
Select your startup disk on the left, then click the Erase tab.
Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, then click Erase.
Important: Erasing the disk removes all the information from the disk. Be sure to back up the information you want to keep to an external device.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Hope this helps.....

Below is a small non-compilable unit (you need to add a few things of course) - but at any rate, here is some code that, if you get it working, you will see that the scrollbars do the right thing.
public class TestScrollPane extends JFrame {
private Container     container;
private JPanel        panel;
private JLabel        label;
private JScrollPane   scroller;
public TestScrollPane() {
    container = getContentPane();
    panel     = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    /* Get you images here ...                */
    /* I will call them imageOne and imageTwo */
    label     = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(imageOne));
    panel.add(label);
    scroller = new JScrollPane(panel);
    scroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
    container.add(scroller);
    pack();
    /* Rest of JFrame stuff */
public static void main(String[] argv) throws InterruptedException {
    TestScrollPane tsp = new TestScrollPane();
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    tsp.label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(tsp.imageTwo));
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    tsp.label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(tsp.imageOne));

Need help.. Question about connectivity of PS2 with Creative A2ZS Video Edit

Hi everyone, i have question regarding creative A2ZS video editor.. please forgive me for my innocent question since im new here..
I own a Play Station 2.. can this video editor allow me to connect my PS2 and show the display on the monitor so that i can play my PS2 game on the monitor? it's like functioning like a VGA box.. thanks!Message Edited by nicholas_23 on 05-9-200709:46 AM

If you hook the standard analog video outputs of the PS2 (the ones that would go to the TV) into the Video Editor and get into the VidCap applet (free download from the Creative Website), drag the Preview window so its full screen, then you can use your laptop or desktop as a "TV".

I need help with a question about iPod Touch 5

I have a iPod touch, and I need to know, if I have the google app(or any app) open, and I hit the lock button, will it close the app?

yes, unless the app is intended to run in the background, like a music app maybe. For those, you can turn them off from the app itself

I need help with a question about formatting and recovery

Hello, I have accidentally downloaded a trojan virus onto my computer and I have been told by tech support that the only way to completely rid my computer of its effects is to format my hard drive and restore my computer to factory defaults. I only NEED a handful of files and they arent infected so i already have them on a flash drive ready to be copied over to a restored version.
My Toshiba A665 S6050 supposedly has the recovery items and to access it you must hold "0" while starting it up... is that true? if it is true, after I format my hard drive, will i still be able to hold "0" on start-up and restore it to factory defaults or will formatting it wipe out that function?
Thanks ahead of time , -Mark

Mark, if you elect to restore your hard disk to it's original out-of-the-box contents, then the whole disk will be exactly the way you got it, including the recovery partition.

Question about sorting files in media library

Hey,
I'm Sam Hoste from Belgium and I have a question about sorting music files in my media library in iTunes.
My music collection mainly exists of complete albums instead of individual songs. The problem is that I can not play the songs of an album in the same order as on the tracklist of the album in the media library of iTunes.
I also take very good care of the ID3 tags from my mp3-files, but that doesn't help.
For example, if I had an album with the following tracklist,
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7,
every music file would have an ID3 tag for tracknumber (1, 2, 3, ...), an ID3 tag for artist ("Artist" or "Artist ft Otherartist"), an ID3 tag for title (Song 1, ...) and an ID3 tag for album ("Albumname").
When I load this album in my media library in iTunes, I cannot get them sorted by album and by tracknumber on that album. When I sort by artist I get this list:
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5.
But that's normal, but even if I sort by album I get the same list:
01. Artist - Song 1
02. Artist - Song 2
03. Artist - Song 3
06. Artist - Song 6
07. Artist - Song 7
04. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 4
05. Artist ft Otherartist - Song 5.
So the songs aren't in the same order as they are supposed to be on the CD. And I would really like my albums to play in the same order than on the tracklist on the CD.
I think the problem is caused by the fact that when you sort by "album" in iTunes media library, iTunes first sorts by albumname, and second by artistname, and third by tracknumber. In stead of sorting first by albumname, and then second by tracknumber in stead of the artist.
My question: Is there a way to make sure iTunes sorts by albumname, and then by tracknumber in stead of artist, so I can play my albums in the same order as on the CD? Or is there an other solution for this issue?
Thanks and kind regards,
Sam Hoste

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

Need help ASAP! Paper on sorting algorythms! PLEASE!!!

Hello!
I don't do this normally but I'm really dead desperate and out of ideas! I need to do a paper on sorting algorythms for tomorrow (11th december), and I'm all out of ideas. Okay I start in the beginning:
I need to analyse 9 sorting algorythims, they are: Bubble, Insertion, Shell, Quick, Merge, Heap, Bucket, Couting, Radix.
I found plenty programcodes and stuff about these sortings, but there are other things I need to do. The task is: I need to run the sorts on 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000 items, 10 times each, for each algorythm. And I need to count the swaps in each run and measure the time it takes to complete. This is the most important problem I have now. No matter what I did, NetBeans won't compile the codes I found on the net no matter what I do. If somebody can help me out so I can run the codes on my computer, or alternatively somebody can run the sorts for me and tell me the results I would be forever grateful!!!
I tried to find answers until now, you are my last hope! I need to deliver this paper tomorrow, so if somebody has any little idea, no matter how small, please do tell!!! PLEASE!!!!!! PRETTY PLEASEEE!!!!!

okay, I get it. I'm a lazy bastard. Someone who has tons of exams coming up that are too very important and didn't had the time to dig in to find solutions for his paper because he was busy studying the hell out of himself. I know I'm not the best student there is, and I have time managemet problems, and on top of that I tend to be lazy at times. But I was searching for solutions and possible answers all weekend, trying to make this work, but I couldn't do it. I come here in a last desperate attempt, hoping that somebody will actually help me, and what do I get? A kick in the ... and get all my bad things shoved in my face, and declare me a useless piece of junk and a shame of a Computer Sciences student.
but there are other things I need to do.I meant that I need other things in the paper too, not myself. And thanks for the kind words JosAH, you worked hard to spot the only mistakable part in my writing and turn it against me. And no, I did not forget all about my homework, but I was busy studying everything else for the exams. And yes I have time management problems and I'm pretty ashamed about it, but I'm only a third semester student.
Go away.I apologise for any inconveniece I caused, and I'm sorry I asked for help! Won't happen again.

Easy question about parts of this code

Code: The purpose is to find a character in a string, and report how many times the character occurs in the string. Basically the program does looking and counting. The code is complied and working well, but my goal is to make it as short as possible, if you can just write a program does the same job in no more than five lines, i will be very appreciate if you share your idea with me.
public class CharFinder{
public static void main(String args[])throws java.io.IOException{
String content;
char target;
int fromIndex = 0;
int foundIndex;
int count = 0;
content =("hello world, i am a boy, and i need help.");
System.out.print("Enter the character to be counted: ");
target = (char)System.in.read();
for (int i=0;i<=content.length()-1;i++)
foundIndex = content.indexOf(target, fromIndex);
if (foundIndex >= 0)
count++;
fromIndex = foundIndex + 1;
System.out.println(" '" + target + "' occurs " + count + " time(s)");
Question:
1.what does string.indexOf do?
2. what are fromIndex and foundIndex 's jobs in the code? in another word, what are they doing in the code?
3. I have to put it in a method, like public void charFinder(), but it cannot compile cuz of throws java.io.IOException, the compiler always says it needs ; at the end..........i can't understand the problem.
Thank you so much if you can answer them.

I think the from index counts how many letters are from the index... and the found are the letters that were found, and the +1 tells it to go on to the next letter to see if it should send that letter back to you.... your third question, the compilers always say you need stuff, adn when you find a problem it has ntohing to do with what it says... my suggestion is just look for something that might be out of place.

I Need Help for 2 questions please!

Earlier I asked a question about how I can get notifications in the "Notification Center" on my MAC. Someone suggested that I reset the "App Store" by doing the following steps: PLEASE SEE THE PICTURE BELOW
I did this. Now I cannot get the "Debug" off the screen each time I launch the "App Store". My first question is: How can I fix this?
My second question pertains to my original question of not receiving ANY notifications of updates from the App Store in "Notifications". I have ALL the settings under "Software Update" in System Preferences set correctly to my knowledge (the first 3 boxes are selected). I don't know if the reset of the App Store worked or not as I have yet to get any notifications and there have been no new updates in the last hour since I did this. I did read this however http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11502 and I'm wondering if that could be my problem. If it is, how can I fix this? I have never disabled Spotlight on my "startup volume". I don't even know what that is. Can ANYONE please help?

I don't know if you have Spotlight enabled or disabled at this point. Read the following article. Although it refers to Lion, the same commands to enable/disable Spotlight are available on Mountain Lion.
The following may help clarify Spotlight for you.
