Need help with "get info" dialog box

Hi Everyone!
I need some help with trying to figure out what some of the options are in the "Get Info" dialog box. I've searched the iTunes help and these forums, but can't find anything.
So, in the options tab,
1. What does "Part of compilation" Y/N, do for me?
2. Same for "Remember Position"
3. And finally, "Gapless album"
Thanks, Vince.

1. when you import a compilation album (like an 80's compilation or something), itunes will import it as
song 1, artist 1, 80's greatest hits
song 2, artist 2, 80's greatest hits etc
Click part of a compliation means that, it means that it would keep them altogether rather than having lots of songs everywhere
2. If you start playing a song, then stop, part way through, when you next come to the song, itunes will remember where you left off
3. Albums like jean michel jarre, classical, mike oldfield, etc, have many songs which merge into each other. Having gapless album ticked will ensure that, when playing the album, there are no gaps between songs

I have a 3GS. The iPod on the phone has made duplicates of some songs. I've tried using the "get info" dialog box to set all the information the same but the dups are still there. Even after erasing all music with iTunes they are still there.

What have you done so far?
I suggest you connect it via a usb cable first. Once you get the printer working, move to wifi. You will have to use an existing printer usb cable or purchase a cable. Be sure to get the correct cable. Ask for help.

Help with JOptionPane -- Popup Dialog Boxes

I need to create a popup dialog box that looks like this:
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6900/jbuttonpm2.jpg
red = JTextField (Where the user will input a number that I need to store)
green = Drop Down List with 1,2,3 as choices
blue = JButtons for OK and Cancel
So yeah, I need an easy way to collect a bunch of information from the user, and this was the best way I could think to do it. The user has to enter a number for all of the fields, but is there any way for the field to have a value of 0 there by default?
I read some of the Java tutorials for using the JOptionPane's showXXXDialog but I wasn't sure if that can't of method could create such a complex dialog box. Any help would be really appreciated. How can I make that dialog box and get all the input I need from it?

Create a panel containing red and green and pass it as message to JoptionPane.showConfirmDialog with OK_CANCEL_OPTIONS to have blue. If it returns OK_OPTION read and use values from panel. That's it.

I need help - Open windows and dialog boxes are ghosting and flashing.

Hi All,
My Mac Pro has recently come down with a "bug". When i open multiple windows they don't seem to cope well with each other and parts of the window behind will still show through the window in front in fragments. When downloading, the loading bar will also flicker and partly show the dialog box behind. The only thing that fixes the broken up windows/dialog boxes is to minimize then maximize again. At first i thought it was a memory issue but the problem occurs with no applications running except for finder. I have done several restarts, updated my software and have checked my hard drive in disk utility and everything appears okay?
I can still operate the machine but it's getting a little annoying. Can anyone help me here?

Hi nayefo,
Try installing multitouch, and then see, while in windows, if you've successfully installed multitouch and multitouch mouse, you should have those drivers. Also check if you've installed trackpad and trackpad enabler.

Hi i need help with getting my homework for school

im in a nine week class that ends tommorw and need help go\etting my program working properly these are the requirements ofr the assignments:
Modify the Inventory Program by adding a button to the GUI that allows the user to move
to the first item, the previous item, the next item, and the last item in the inventory. If the
first item is displayed and the user clicks on the Previous button, the last item should
display. If the last item is displayed and the user clicks on the Next button, the first item
should display.
· Add a company logo to the GUI using Java graphics classes.
Modify the Inventory Program to include an Add button, a Delete button, and a Modifybutton on the GUI. These buttons should allow the user to perform the corresponding actions on the item name, the number of units in stock, and the price of each unit. An item added to the inventory should have an item number one more than the previous last item. Add a Save button to the GUI that saves the inventory to a C:\data\inventory.dat file. Use exception handling to create the directory and file if necessary. Add a search button to the GUI that allows the user to search for an item in the inventory by the product name. If the product is not found, the GUI should display an appropriate message. If the product is found, the GUI should display that products information in the GUI. Post final .class and .java files as an attachment.

Need help in makinga message dialog box dissapear automaticly

hi i have the following code that displays a message dialog box that tells me when a user is online.
how do i make it disapear automaticly after say, 5 seconds.on msn messenger a similar technique is used where when a user comes online, a message box appears stating who and then dissapears after a couple of seconds..
i need this to work so that say if a user is away from the pc for such a given time, the message box will just pile up if loads of users have appeared online during the duration that the user was away from his pc..
here is what i have
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "error " + e.getMessage(), "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

U cant do that using a JOptionPane, use a JDialog instead.
use dialog.setVisible(true);
after this start a timertask which executes after 5 seconds and disposes the dialog

Change all file associations in get info dialog box

Hey all,
I got this program called Style Master to edit all of my CSS files. Well, BBEdit was still the app associated with the .css extension. If I used get info (cmd-i), changed the program from BBEdit to Style Master and then selected 'Change All' it would flip back to being associated with BBEdit. Even if I create a new css document in Style Master, it saves with a BBEdit association and icon. Quite annoying.
Any ideas why I can't change the file association from BBEdit to another program?

I believe the prefs associated with this action is: com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. Found in Users/Preferences. Place this file in the trash and retry.
Regards

Java Newbie needs help with multi method dialog calculator

Our example for the unit was the example below... we now must create a 5 method program for a calculator... 1 main method and 4 for the standard operations(+ - * /). It is supposed to utilize Swing for graphics/dialog boxes that ask you for the operation you would like to use(if statements based on which operation they enter), and a prompt that asks you separately for the 2 numbers used.... anyone feel like drawing this skeleton out? I am in class right now and none of my neighbors can figure it out either....

RVS4000: Need help with out-of-the-box device

The router is performing very badly.
1. Router's "INTERNET" is connected to ADSL cable modem, providing automatically an IP address.
2. The device is getting "freezed"/"stoned" very often. The longest time record for up-time was just over 1 hour. The shortest up-time was somewhere over 2 minutes.
3. When "freezed" the router:
    a. Still can perform as a switch
    b. No access to WAN
    c. No ping to the router
    d. Green indication lamps.
    e. No access to the web-interface
4. Same behavior with 1.3.0.5, 1.3.1.0 and 1.3.2.0 firmwares
5. Sometimes after "Restore to factory defaults" DIAG-RED led is lit, and does not go off.
6. To get device back helps to power-off it for an hour or two.
Is it possible to get any information from the router, when it is "freezed"

Pavel Kopylov,
It look like we got out of sync. I see you just sent another reply about opening the box Friday.
With it only being Friday, I would take it back to the store I bought it from and get another. The same or better.
======================================================================
If you want to use this as a learning experiance and figure out this problem yourself, then the following maybe for you:
In all of your communications. I hear you saying your RVS-4000 freezes and will not communicate. No in or out of data. Is that correct?
You are also saying, these freezes occur at various times. Correct?
Which I hope this means is that it is working until it stops working...
If that is correct. Then you need to figure out if the problem is coming in over your WAN connection or it's the hardware of the Router itself.
If you think it's the hardware of the Router. Then do things like measure the temperatures of the Router. (Carefully) Try to heat it or cool it to see if this makes it fail, quicker... Check the Voltage to this Router and make sure it's correct and you are not getting Black outs or brownouts, etc... Also check for lose data connectors. (Watch the lights on the front panel)
However, If you think this is from a TCP/UDP attack on your Router. Then you can place a HUB between your Router and the Cable/DSL Modem and the Router. Next plug in a PC into the same HUB and run Network Software Monitoring on this PC in Continues Record mode. Until a failure. Then go thru the Data and see what you find.
There are a few free Network Software Monitoring Tools you can find and download. Even Microsoft has a nice one for free. Microsoft Network Monitor 3.x
You can also buy another Router. The same or better and if you have the same kind of problems. Then it just might be coming in over your connection. And the new Router can then be returned as its still new.
You can call Cisco and or your local ISP and work with them on this problem.
These are just a few Ideas... I'm sure others will have even more.

Need help with getting variable from static

Hello,
What I am building is an application that prompts for username/password before it shows the main screen. Once they have successfully logged in, I need to assign the username that they used, in order to use it for a button event if the make any updates.

Thanks.

I am developing in Netbeans. If I try to remove the static keyword from main(), netbeans canno't find a main to run. I have created the User class.
Here is the main again to show what I have done.

java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

User user = new User();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JTextField userName = new JTextField();
JTextField passWord = new JTextField();
Object[] options = {"OK","CANCEL"};
Object[] msg = {"UserName:", userName, "Password:", passWord};
final JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane(msg, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION){};
JDialog dialog = op.createDialog(frame, "Please Login");
dialog.show();
int result = JOptionPane.OK_OPTION;
try {
result = ((Integer)op.getValue()).intValue();
}catch(Exception uninitializedValue){}
if(result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {
String userID = userName.getText();
String passID = passWord.getText();
user.setName(userID);
user.setPassword(passID);
if(!userID.equals("") && !passID.equals("")) {
//Auth.setUserName(userID);
//Auth.setPassword(passID);
new Main().setVisible(true);
}else {
// user cancelled
This set's the variables
Here is the beginning of the evt that I am using to try and get the data.
private void selButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

String Add = "Add";
String Update = "Update";
String groupID = "9999";
Vector columnNames = new Vector();
Vector data = new Vector();
User user = new User();
String User = user.getName();
System.out.println(User);
String Manager_info[] = {"managerindex", "managers", "managername"};
String Account_info[] = {"acctypeindex", "acctype", "acctypedesc"};

String today = formatter.format(myDate);
String [] str = {
"EmpID", "Account", "System", "Type", "Status", "UserID", "Group"
This gives me a null on the println, how can I get the data that was entered in main()?

I need help with getting an update for my 1st generation ipod shuffle.

I am trying to install iTunes and iPod software on my computer but the iPod cd is apparently not compatible with my version of windows. I need to download an update but I cannot get any support because my 1st generation iPod shuffle is not one of the selections available for support. Does anyone know how I can download the update I need?

Neil, I installed itunes but that hasn't helped the issue I am having with my 1st generation iPod. I have searched and searched but there is nothing that allows me to update my iPod, download to my iPod, all I see is iPhone or iPad, neither of which I happen to own, so I am still at square one with my problem. I can't get any Apple support because my iPod is not one of the choices, no mention of the 1st generation. It's as if it no longer exists and there is no support available. I tried plugging it into my usb port, hoping that something would pop up on the screen and give me guidance, but alas, that failed as well. I feel like this whole thing is an exercise in futility. Thanks for your attempt to assist me.

SCCM Driver Injection : What am I missing? Need help with getting drivers installing correctly in my environment.

Everyone,
I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it. I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it. Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps.
I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
so forth and so on
I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme. I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place. When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
show up , but under targeted it says 0.
My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
categories". I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database. Is this not right?
The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops. WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices. OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
100% successfully...MANUALLY. What's the reasoning behind this?
I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight.
Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong? We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

Need help with getting images to look smooth (without the bitmap squares) around the edges. When I transfer the image from pictures, it sets itself into the InDesign layout, but with square edges. I need to find out how to get it to look smooth?

Need to find out how to get my images transferred into an InDesign layout without the rough edges, as with a bit map image, but to appear with smooth edges in the layout. I can notice it more when I enlarge the file (pic). How can I get it to appear smooth in the finished layout. Another thing too that I noticed; it seems to have effected the other photos in the layout. They seem to be
pixelated too after I import the illustration (hand drawn artwork...)? Any assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No Clipboard, no copy & paste, as you would not get the full information of the image.
When you paste you can't get the image info from the Links panel, but you can get resolution and color info either via the Preflight panel or by exporting to PDF and checking the image in Acrobat.
Here I've pasted a 300ppi image, scaled it, and made a Preflight rule that catches any image under 1200ppi. The panel gives me the effective resolution of the pasted image as 556ppi. There are other workflow reasons not to paste—you loose the ability to easily edit the original and large file sizes—but pasting wouldn't cause a loss in effective resolution or change in color mode.

Need help with "get info" dialog box
