New home construction -wiring for pc to tv connection
I want to wire for connecting a pc or apple tv to a television wall location. If I am not worried about surround sound, would putting a HDMI cable in the wall between the two locations be all that I would need? Conduit for an HDMI cable probably takes up too much room in the wall studs. I would like to have access to HBO Go, so I am probably leaning towards a new mac over apple tv. Should I run a separate cable for sound? Any other ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!
HDMI would be all you need between the latest Apple TV and a compatible television.
It depends on what type of connectors your television has. Here's a support article on the connection options for the 1st generation Apple TV: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2646
and this is from the Setup Guide for the 2nd generation Apple TV:
Setting Up Apple TV
Apple TV connects to your TV through an HDMI port that delivers both audio and video. Before you set up Apple TV, look at the ports on the back of your TV to make sure you have the right cables.
You can connect Apple TV to a high-definition TV or home theater receiver that has an HDMI port, using an HDMI cable for both video and audio.
You can also use an optical digital audio cable to connect Apple TV to a receiver for audio.
You can view and download Apple manuals here: http://support.apple.com/manuals/
Hope this helps!

House wired for two lines.. switching existing lin...
Hello,
My home is wired for multiple phone lines with the current phone line having an outlet in the downstairs bedroom. This outlet works and is currently used for my phone and broadband connection.
The remainder of the outlets are upstairs and there is no dial tone, but I was told by the previous owner they were hooked up to a second phone line.
I now have reason to need to move the phone line / broadband connection upstairs and as such would like to switch my existing phone line to the other outlet.
A longwinded way to do this would be to order a second phone line and wait untill that is installed and working in the upstairs outlets and then cancel the first phone line. However, surely there must be an easier way; however, the problem is difficult to explain and I am not eager to have a engineer come to the house if the answer is that a second phone line must be "activated" .. so what I really want is BT to act as I'm moving house, but really just move it within my house ! if that makes any sense
Any help appreciated.
Solved!

Yeah, call the Home Movers Department, or contact the MOD's on here and they can arrange an Internal Home Move.
Never heard of that service at all. But if it does exist, then they would have to contact BT, who will arrange for Openreach to arrange the shift of the pairs, to the other master socket position. There would be a charge for that service.
Contact will need to be made the normal way by calling BT on 0800 800 150, and not via the forum moderators, who are there to deal with escalations only.
If the master sockets for both lines are adjacent, and they are like the picture below, then its simply an internal extension switch which can be done by the home owner.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

So, I have just about had it. For nine days now, I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.
After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive. -
New(?) pattern looking for a good home
Hi everyone, this is my second post to sun forums about this, I initially asked people for help with the decorator and strategy pattern on the general Java Programming forum not being aware that there was a specific section for design pattern related questions. Since then I refined my solution somewhat and was wondering if anyone here would take a look. Sorry about the length of my post, I know it's best to keep it brief but in this case it just seemed that a fully functional example was more important than keeping it short.
So what I'd like to ask is whether any of you have seen this pattern before and if so, then what is it called. I'm also looking for some fresh eyes on this, this example I wrote seems to work but there are a lot of subtleties to the problem so any help figuring out if I went wrong anywhere is greatly appreciated. Please do tell me if you think this is an insane approach to the problem -- in short, might this pattern have a chance at finding a good home or should it be put down?
The intent of the pattern I am giving below is to modify behavior of an object at runtime through composition. In effect, it is like strategy pattern, except that the effect is achieved by wrapping, and wrapping can be done multiple times so the effect is cumulative. Wrapper class is a subclass of the class whose instance is being wrapped, and the change of behavior is accomplished by overriding methods in the wrapper class. After wrapping, the object "mutates" and starts to behave as if it was an instance of the wrapper class.
Here's the example:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double[] data = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
ModifiableChannel ch1 = new ModifiableChannel();
ch1.fill(data);
// ch2 shifts ch1 down by 1
ModifiableChannel ch2 = new DownShiftedChannel(ch1, 1);
// ch3A shifts ch2 down by 1
ModifiableChannel ch3A = new DownShiftedChannel(ch2, 1);
// ch3B shifts ch2 up by 1, tests independence from ch3A
ModifiableChannel ch3B = new UpShiftedChannel(ch2, 1);
// ch4 shifts ch3A up by 1, data now looks same as ch2
ModifiableChannel ch4 = new UpShiftedChannel(ch3A, 1);
// print channels:
System.out.println("ch1:");
printChannel(ch1);
System.out.println("ch2:");
printChannel(ch2);
System.out.println("ch3A:");
printChannel(ch3A);
System.out.println("ch3B:");
printChannel(ch3B);
System.out.println("ch4:");
printChannel(ch4);
public static void printChannel(Channel channel) {
for(int i = 0; i < channel.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(channel.get(i) + "");
// Note how channel's getAverage() method "sees"
// the changes that each wrapper imposes on top
// of the original object.

Hello,
unless you sell your design better, I deem it is an inferior derivation of the Adapter pattern.
In the Adapter pattern, the adaptee doesn't have to be designed to support adaptation, and the instance doesn't even know at runtime whether it is adapted.
Your design makes the "modifiable" class aware of the modification, and it needs to be explicitly designed to be modifiable (in particular this constrains the implementation hierarchy). Overall DesignPattern are meant to provide flexibility, your version offers less flexibility than Adapter, as it poses more constraint on the modifiable class.
Another sign of this inflexibility is your instanceof checks.
On an unrelated note, I intensely dislike your naming choice of fill() vs _fill()+, I prefer more explicit names (I cannot provide you one as I didn't understand the purpose of this dual method, which a good name would have avoided, by the way).
That being said, I haven't followed your original problem, so I am not aware of the constraints that led you to this design.
Best regards,
J.
Edited by: jduprez on Mar 22, 2010 10:56 PMThank you for your input, I will try to explain my design better. First of all, as I understand it the Adapter pattern is meant to translate one interface into another. This is not at all what I am trying to do here, I am trying to keep the same interface but modify behavior of objects through composition. I started thinking about how to do this when I was trying to apply the Decorator pattern to filter some data. The way I would do that in my example here is to write an AbstractChannelDecorator that delegates all methods to the Channel it wraps:
public abstract class AbstractChannelDecorator implements Channel {
protected Channel delegate;
...// code ommitted
public double getAverage() {
return delegate.getAverage();
...// code ommitted
}and then to filter the data I would extend it with concrete classes and override the appropriate methods like so:
public class DownShiftedChannel extends AbstractChannelDecorator {
...// code ommitted
public double get(int i) {
return super.get(i) - shift;
...// code ommitted
}(I am just shifting the data here to simplify the examples but a more realistic example would be something like a moving average filter to smooth the data).
Unfortunately this doesn't get me what I want, because getAverage() method doesn't use the filtered data unless I override it in the concrete decorator, but that means I will have to re-implement the whole algorithm. So that's pretty much my motivation for this, how do I use what on the surface looks like a Decorator pattern, but in reality works more like inheritance?
Now as to the other points of critique you mentioned:
I understand your dislike for such method names, I'm sorry about that, I had to come up with some way for the ChannelModifier to call ModifiableChannel's super's method equivalents. I needed some way to have the innermost wrapped object to initiate a call to the topmost ChannelModifier, but only do it once -- that was one way to do it. I suppose I could have done it with a flag and another if/else statement in each of the methods, or if you prefer, the naming convention could have been fill() and super_fill(), get() and super_get(), I didn't really think that it was that important. Anyway, those methods are not meant to be used by any other class except ChannelModifier so I probably should have made them protected.
The instanceof checks are necessary because at some point ChannelModifier instance runs into a delegate that isn't a ChannelModifier and I have to somehow detect that, because otherwise instead of calling get() I'd call get() which in ModifiableChannel would take me back up to the topmost wrapper and start the whole call chain again, so we'd be in infinite recursion. But calling get() allows me to prevent that and go straight to the original method of the innermost wrapped object.
I completely agree with you that the example I presented has limited flexibility in supporting multiple implementations. If I had two different Channel implementations I would need two ModifiableChannel classes, two ChannelModifiers, and two sets of concrete implementations -- obviously that's not good. Not to worry though, I found a way around that. Here's what I came up with, it's a modification of my original example with DefaultChannel replaced by ChannelImplementation1,2:
public class ChannelImplementation1 implements Channel { ... }
public class ChannelImplementation2 implements Channel { ... }
// this interface allows implementations to be interchangeable in ChannelModifier
public interface ModifiableChannel {
public double super_get(int i);
public double super_getAverage();
public void setModifier(ChannelModifier modifier);
public ChannelModifier getModifier();
public class ModifiableChannelImplementation1
extends ChannelImplementation1
implements ModifiableChannel {
... // see DefaultChannel in my original example
public class ModifiableChannelImplementation2
extends ChannelImplementation1
implements ModifiableChannel { ...}
// ChannelModifier is a Channel, but more importantly, it takes a Channel,
// not any specific implementation of it, so in effect the user has complete
// flexibility as to what implementation to use.
public class ChannelModifier implements Channel {
protected Channel delegate;
protected Channel root;
protected ChannelModifier tmpModifier;
protected boolean doSwap = true;
public ChannelModifier(Channel delegate) {
if(delegate instanceof ChannelModifier)
this.root = ((ChannelModifier)delegate).root;
else
this.root = delegate;
this.delegate = delegate;
private void pre() {
if(doSwap) {
if(root instanceof ModifiableChannel) {
ModifiableChannel root = (ModifiableChannel)this.root;
tmpModifier = root.getModifier();
root.setModifier(this);
if(delegate instanceof ChannelModifier)
((ChannelModifier)delegate).doSwap = false;
private void post() {
if (doSwap) {
if(root instanceof ModifiableChannel) {
ModifiableChannel root = (ModifiableChannel)this.root;
root.setModifier(tmpModifier);
} else {
if(delegate instanceof ChannelModifier)
((ChannelModifier)delegate).doSwap = true;
public void fill(double[] data) {
delegate.fill(data);
public double get(int i) {
pre();
double result;
if(delegate instanceof ModifiableChannel)
// I've changed the naming convention from _get() to super_get(), I think that may help show the intent of the call
result = ((ModifiableChannel)delegate).super_get(i);

result = delegate.get(i);

I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above covers your iTunes purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Wrong home directory permissions for new users
Hi everyone.
I reinstalled my laptop the other day and ran into a rather strange problem: after a system update new users had their permissions totally screwed. It took me 3-4 reinstalls to notice, as i was also playing with lvm2 &co. Anyway, on fresh installations from either 2008.06 or 2009.02, everything works fine. As soon as i update to the latest package versions (including 2.6.29 kernel) and create a new user, permissions on the new home directory are screwed up to the point where the user can't access it.
Old directory permissions:
drwx------ 33 jasn users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:21 jasn
drwx------ 2 root root 16K 17. Apr 12:15 lost+found
New directory permissions:
drw-rw--w- 2 jasm users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:43 jasm
drwx------ 33 jasn users 4,0K 17. Apr 13:21 jasn
drwx------ 2 root root 16K 17. Apr 12:15 lost+found
Logging in to "jasm" results in
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
[jasm@host /]$
The whole mess can be fixed by changing the permissions on the home directory, but all that can't be on purpose, can it? I also don't know which package update (if it even was caused by one) causes this behaviour and if this only happens to me, so i didn't file a bug report.
Has anyone already seen this? I solved it after 1.5 days of puzzled (and strangely unsuccessful) googling and reinstalling, so perhaps someone who runs into the same problem can use this to fix it.
Last edited by JASN (2009-04-17 17:09:34)umask is not really the correct thing to do in this case, as this resets the permissions for every file the user creates. Afaik, the umask setting has to be installed on every machine via the launchd-user.conf file (to contain simply: umask 002) (or whatever is appropriate for your facility), as umask is a property of the process, not the connection.
What might work better for your problem is make the homedirs world and group non-readable. That way the user creates files within their homedirs and anywhere below, but everyone else can't read them regardless of the files' permissions because the directory itself is unreadable. -

Not enough information. What EXACT version of Photoshop? Are both machines the same platform, i.e. both either Mac or Windows?
Generally speaking you are allowed two installations on two different machines that are not used simultaneously. Up to CS6, the two installations have to be on same platform machines, either Mac or Win. In CC and later, they can be one each on different platforms.
It is very important for you to contact Adobe to deactivate the installation that "crashed" (please elaborate).

Appliances for new home...Should I wait for "Black Friday" price discounts?
I will be making a big purchase of 3-4 large kitchen appliances for my new home, but I am concerned about the upcoming "Black Friday" price discounts. I need to buy my appliances this weekend, and I cannot wait for anticipated price discounts. If I purchase now, and then the price is discounted later on, will I be eligible for the new discounted price?
Hello SD-BaLLaH -
Congratulations on your new home! While normally you are able to do a thirty day price match guarantee on Appliances, our Thanksgiving weekend sales are exempt from price matching. This would include trying to obtain a price match on a previous purchase.
I hope this offers some clarity!

Inventory Control of new houses (construction and sale)
Colleagues,
Need information about controlling inventory of new homes, the business process is from the construction and sale, but using the traditional solution of SAP ECC 6.0, not EC&O
Thanksit sounds like you have a slow database server, or one that is sending the
data over a WAN link. When you deleted the database, it had to recover all
the information in the STR files. Normally, delta scans are done every day
or so to see if anyting has changed, and then a full scan every five days.
I would bump this up to 20 since usually there very few workstations that
will need a full scan.
For you boss, I would suggest that you nicely inform him that the inventory
pulled by ZfD is at least 80% accurate but never 100%. If you have a
workstation that is not being scanned, registered, imported, etc.. you are
likely to miss it. How do you account for the WS Removal policy which will
pull out inventory when the machine is not registered for "x" days. If
anything, use the ZfD inventory as a backup for internal components only.
Good Luck,
Ken Puett, CNE,CNI

It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
