New to the world of programing. please help!!
ello every one.
I want to start programing and create software on my mac.
where do i start? i was playing around with terminal and thougth it was cool.
i went on the net and came across python and discovered it was already in my mac. i dabed with it and it is not easy. all the tutorials iv read seem to be written for someone who has programing experience. Are there any books, websites, anything that will break down programing in python "BARNEY" style.
or is python the way to go for super beginers. Anyone who can help please do it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.
Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions! If you want to do programming on your Mac, you'll first want to install the necessary compilers and other tools required. You'll find these on the DVD entitled "XCode" that came with your system. Install XCode first. Then, I'd recommend getting familiar with the software on your machine first, before installing open source software available on the web. You'll probably already have what you want. For example, Perl and MySQL are also included on your machine, in addition to Python, as you have already found out.
I'd suggest reading the Getting Started page at the Apple Developer Connection, and the Fink website to get an overview of open source software available for OSX.
As for Python, there's a lot out there on the web. Here is an easy tutorial for non-programmers. Enjoy!

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.
first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service. -

My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!
Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do... -
Can't open numbers on my iPhone 5S and iPad mini (1st Gen.) after updating to the new version 2.0.1. Please help!
Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

I created my itunes account YEARS ago!! And I can't remember the answers to my security questions? Because I cannot remember the answers I cannot make purchases in the app store. Please help me create new security questions. Please help me.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing the number for Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
I have lost my audiobooks that I purchases on my old phone. I have gotten a new phone and they are not in the iTunes downloads. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download - have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.Found the solution.

I am having a problem installing the JDK Software. Please Help
Please help I am Having trouble installing my JDK software. I tried to make a simple program saying Hello World and the program fails to work because it can not find my class.
C:\Jfiles\DIR
ILoveJava.java
ILoveJava.class
C:\Jfiles\Javac ILoveJava.java
C:\Jfiles\Java ILoveJava
Exception in thread "main" Java.lang.NoclassDeffounderror
The Path seems to be set correctly because the Javac compiled.
I have tried a number of different ClassPath Definitions like C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=.;C:\JDK.14\Lib\Tools.jar and ClassPath=. and ClassPath=
I made sure that the capitilization and the spelling was the same between the ILoveJava I specified in notepad and the program name.
I am also having trouble with JBuilder, Eclispe and NetBeans with finding Classes.
Another error that I received after I changed the ClassPath to ClassPath= .;C:\JDK1.4\bin\ was a
nosuchmethod error, When I tried to run the program I made using Java ILoveJava.
Is their any other problem like a conflict of some sort that could be causing this problem?
Could the problem be anything besides the ClassPath and Path Settings?
Please, help me? I really, really, need to learn Java. Thank You.
Java -Version
Java Version 1.4.2.
Windows XPHi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !

I have just downloaded the latest iOS update for my computer, and then I was unable to use Aperture until I upgraded its software also. I did this, and it seemed to work fine on relaunch with new version - the last library I had open worked fine. BUT yesterday I tried to open a different library and I got a message saying
"the selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch"
I click the relaunch button and it relaunches but it just opens on the same library again. I don't know how to make it relaunch properly with the different library. Please help!! ThanksTThe message is a bit deceptive the old libraries need to be upgraded before they can be used. To upgrade quit Aperture select one of the old libraries with the Finder and double click it. This will open Aperture on that library and ask if you want to upgrade it.
WWhile the procedure is safe it is always a good idea to have a backup of the libraries before doing this. -

How do I get rid of the "Extra" stuff? Please help!!
I just got a iPhone 3G today. it came with the 2.1 firmware and my iTunes is 8.0
I added some songs and ringtones to my iPhone, total of 500mb. I checked if they safely got into the phone while the iphone was still hooked up to the computer and everything seemed ok, I could set the custom ringtones and all.
But after a while, the USB went all wonky and continuously made that USB plug-in plug-off sounds you know?
and the iphone lost the connection to the computer. it was physically still attched to the USB to the computer though.
I unplugged it and checked it, and now all the music and ringtones have disappeared. When I tried to hook it up to the computer again, it won't recognize it, won't even make that usb plug-in sound. so I restarted the computer and this time the computer recognized the iphone. iTunes said that I didn't have any ringtones or and songs in my iphone, but the information said that there still was 500mb worth of stuff as "extra" - the orange portion- in the phone, and I really want to get rid of it!!
I did notice the "Erase all data" thing on the setting in iphone, but wouldn't that get rid of my firmware + all the contacts? Is this the only way?
Please help... I want to have a good experience with this phone, and first day I'm already quite disheartened.
ThanksWhat you need to do, when all else fails, is put the iPhone into DFU mode.
To do this, turn off your iPhone. Then hold down the power and home button. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
It will then, eventually, be patient, come up with a cord and the iTunes logo, plug it in, and you should be right.
This deletes EVERYTHING.
I know that conventionally, this would seem like the worst possible option, but seeing as yours is new, no harm done!
Hope I've helped -
Iv just introduced midi into my studio im running logic9 and have brought Midiman Aniversary 4in 4 out to my set up midi is running well but i cannot seem to mute or solo midi regions an isolate them from the audio can someone please help me Murray.
Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.
