New Animation part of Indesign help please!

Hi, I've just watched this tut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAELj3n2QMM
Which is very good I must say. I am really interested in the animated element now included in indesign 5.5. One question I do have I couldnt find an answer too is what is the best way to provide a "animated" file to a client who wants something like what is in this tut (slideshow, things flying in, embedded vids, pop outs etc).
In the tut he shows you can export as .fla files and another form of file but will most people have the facilities to open this file and use the animated brochure/news letter?
Any hints on the best way to export. Im guessing you cant export as a pdf as that would be flat layers you couldnt have animation on?!!
Ta!
Si

The animation effects will only work when exported as a Flash Player SWF, although you can export as a .FLA and edit in Flash if you like but the output from there will still be SWF. InDesigns animations panel is really useful and works really well but if you do add anything like that, you can't export as a PDF or interactive PDF.
SWF is a common player in around 95% of computers so most should be able to play it.
If you only decide on adding a video, you could export that file as a PDF no problem.
See Adobe Help on Animation for more clarity.

I manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

New to iCloud and need help please with getting it working

I've got an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5 and have decided that it's about time to set up iCloud on my devices. I have followed the instructions on the website and in the icloud settings on both devices have switched on mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, notes, photostream (my photo stream-on), documents and data, find my iphone, and icloud backup on. I have ensured that both devices have been backed up and automatic downloads on iTunes & App stores have all been switched on.
I have not yet set up my PC for iCloud.
My understanding is that icloud will sync new downloads and photos etc so I have just tried taking a picture on my iphone, expecting it to appear in my camera roll on my iPad and nothing has happened.
Please can someone advise me if I am doing something wrong or how to resolve this.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

New hard drive issues - need help please!

So I just installed a new hard drive on my Ideapad S10 and having the following issues. I get a PXE-E61 : Media test failure check cable & PXE-M0F : Exiting Broadcom PXE rom message. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drive to check the connection and still get the error, it's a brand new drive. Also I noticed in the BIOS that the hard drive is showing up under ssd disk and SATA hdd shows - none. If I restore the BIOS settings to original then the drive will show up under ssd but the SATA controller mode will show the AHCI setting instead of the Compatible setting it should use.
I'm really stuck here and don't know what else to check. My orginal drive is dead so I'm trying to get this working so I can install windows. If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

Full Disclosure: I don't know your machine.
That PXE error probably doesn't indicate a problem - or not the problem, anyway. Your machine boots, doesn't see an operating system on the hard drive (or doesn't see a hard drive at all) and tries to boot over the network and fails. That's what the PXE error is about.
As to the SATA problems, what happens when you boot your Windows install media? Does that see a hard drive?

I'm new to java and need help please

I have an assignment involves modifying a previous assignment. the code for the previous assigment is shown below.(it was required to be done as an applet this assigment can be an application or an applet) I'm trying to modify this code to read a text file (items.txt) that looks like this:
item # description price(this line does not appear in the text file)
001 shaving cream 400.00
999 razors 30.00
I need to load the item# and price from the text file into arrays(I have no clue how to use multi-dimensional arrays in java and would prefer not to)
I need to search the arrays based on the values entered by the user (item # and quantity) calculate the total for that item then create a new text file which has each line item for that order in the form:
item# quant price per item total(price per item*quant entered)
also also I need to be able to display the four items listed above after each loop as well as all the previous item number and quantities they selected until they indicate they don't want to select anymore.
I've been working on this for days and it seems like nothing I try works. My major problems are:
1. I have no idea how to read the text file and load those 2 items into their respective arrays
2. I can't seem to create a textfile that looks like text for the output file.

First answer: You shouldn't ask multiple questions in the same thread. Ask a specific question, with an appropriate subject line (optionally, assign the number of Dukes you are willing to give for the help). When question #1 is answered and question #2 arises, it's time for a new thread (don't forget to give out Dukes before moving on).
Second answer: I think you need a Transfer Object (http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/TransferObject.html). It's whole purpose is to hold/transfer instance data where it is needed. Create a class something like this:
public class ItemTO
    private String _number;
    private String _description;
    private double _price;
    public ItemTO( String number, String description, double price )
        _number = number;
        _description = description;
        _price = price
    // Getter/Setter methods go here
}then, in the code where you read in the file do something like this:
BufferedReader input = null;
try
    input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( "c:\\a.txt" ) );
    List items = new ArrayList();
    String line;
    String itemNumber;
    String itemDescription;
    double itemPrice;
    while ( (line = input.readLine() ) != null )
     System.out.println( line );
        itemNumber = // Parse it from line
        itemDescription // Parse it from line
        itemPrice = // Parse it from line
        items.add( new ItemTO( itemNumber, itemDescription, itemPrice ) );
catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfe )
    fnfe.printStackTrace();
catch ( IOException ioe )
    ioe.printStackTrace();
finally
    try
        if ( input != null )
            input.close();
    catch ( Exception e )
        e.printStackTrace();
}As for how to parse the line of the file, I'll leave that to you for now. Are the three values delimited with any special characters?

New/Additional phone line question- help please!

Hi
I am after some advice, and every time I call BT I get passed around as I am not 100% on what to ask for, or who I should speak to.
Basically, we have 2 phone lines coming into the house. One line/number + broadband signal goes via a repeater to the office which is a separate building across the garden (approx 300m but I am not sure on the actual distance). The signal is not great, for the broadband particularly - often drops out etc. To solve this we would like a new physical line installed in the office building to give us a separate phone and broadband package to that of the main house, but ideally keeping the same number as we currently use in the office. The office is used everyday for working from home and so is important to us.
Does that make sense? I fully expect that an engineer will need to look at the site, and there will be a (significant) charge for the line to be installed (underground pipe work for cables already exists from house to office building and so this could be utilised). Do I just place an order for a new line online, and wait for an engineer's visit? Can I deal with changing the number at a later date if that is easier for the system to deal with? Last time I rang BT, I was told I needed to speak to the exceptions team, when I was put through to them she told me all I needed to do was speak to customer services, customer services thought I was trying to move home and then didn't seem to understand what I needed (but it was probably how I was explaining it!).
I would be so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, or give me tips on what to ask for. My main worry is keeping the same phone number as it would be so much easier.
Thanks in advance

Hi sbas54,
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

Got a new computer....HELP please!.

I recently got a new computer at home. I didn't think about all my music on the old one. I don't have the old computer anymore. How can I get all my music off my ipod and onto the computer?
Please help. I don't even have lots of the CDs I used to load the music anymore....

Hello there,
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
It all depends on if you have a Mac or PC with how you copy your music over. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your new computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

WiFi no longer working with new Time Capsule-can you help please?

Hi all,
Just received my new Time Capsule (TC). It was a little problematic setting up, but probably due to my now choosing to increase my security from WEP to WPA as the TC set-up assistant suggests. Since then, I have had numerous problems getting my other computers and now my iPhone to connect with WiFi.
The problem is that despite entering all the new settings and WPA passwords for my connection with the TC, the iPhone will either momentarily recognize and go to wifi or simply stay on Edge.
On the former, with wifi active, as soon as I go to iTunes, Safari or check email, it reverts to Edge. On the latter, despite resetting, entering password, or tapping Settings and selecting my wifi connection, it will NOT connect and stays on Edge.
(Now, I'm on Edge! I'm bummed that with new hardware I have new problems that didn't exist before!)
Can someone who had this same problem tell me how they resolved it.
Here's the one clue I have, but would rather not resort to: When I first set up the TC, I had it on WEP with a WDS Network, and everything was working great and FAST! Now that I have increased the security—I will be backing up 3 computers to the TC—my iPhone and other computers seem to have intermittent or no wifi connection as a result.)

Irving Gonzales,
If your computers are 802.11N capable, you might want to try an advanced setup that might help your Time Machine speeds some. I have not personally tested it, so it is just a personal theory at this point.
First, in a mixed environment the 802.11N clients all get slowed down.
First, configure the TC for 802.11N only.
Second, connect the Airport Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule
Third, configure the Airport Express for bridged mode (doesn't give out IP addresses), and for its own wireless network with a different name than the Time Capsule.
Have any 802.11b/g clients like the iPhone join the Airport Express' network.
Thank you,

I am having trouble with my new Mac....Help please

I just got a new Mac G4 from my neighbor, who happens to be older, so the computer is still in great condition. The only problem is, he doesn't remember the login password! So I can start the computer, but I can't actually login. And I've tried to put the Panther reboot disc in and the restart it, but it doesn't do anything. None of the discs will even try to load when I put them in to restart the computer. Its not like the HP computer I have, whereas if I put the reboot disc in it actually works.
This is my first Mac computer and I'm not really familiar with them that much, so if some one could point me in the right direction, other than taking it to an actual retailer and having to pay them a bundle of money to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.
