Newbie at this and need help

Hello,
I am a complete newbie at this Itunes stuff and I have some very basic questions. If somebody would be willing to help me out I would appreciate it. So I have loaded Itunes on my PC. I then put in a cd that my friend burned a ton of songs on for me thinking that the CD would automatically appear in Itunes where then I could move it to my Itunes library. However the CD doesn't appear in Itunes and the only way I can play it is just through Windows Media. Any idea on how to get this to my Itunes library?
In addition, sometimes when I try to play a song in Itunes it says that it can't find the file and asks if I want to locate it. I saved the burned CD in the Itunes folder on my computer but it still didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Chris

I don't know much about CD not working problems, someone else will probably chip in.
As a workaround while you are sorting it out, you can import tracks with Windows Media Player. You need to set the format to MP3 in the WMP options. On the latest version you have to click on Rip to find it. I don't remember where it is on the earlier version.
Once you have imported the tracks find the name of the folder they are in, then open iTunes and click:
File>Add folder to library
Before you do this, you need to decide if you are happy to leave the tracks where they are or if you want to make a copy of them in the iTunes Music folder. You can set this in
Edit>Preferences>Advanced>general
There is a check box labled "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library.
iTunes will work OK either way.
On the CD thing - you should find "Run CD diagnostics" on the help menu - you could post the result here.
(I am using Version 6.0.5 so things may not be quite the same on your version)

Your past purchases are not on the computer. By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer.
Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
Say yes, this is what you wan to do.

Completely new at this and need help!

I am creating a website for a school group using iWeb. I am
completely new to adding anything like this to a website, but they
have various forms they'd like to be added, on different pages of
the site, that students can download and print.
I've not uploaded the site yet, just getting these last few
details taken care of. In going through the various directions,
iWeb doesn't seem to have good ones when it comes to pdf files. And
I can't make sense of the directions Adobe offers. I have one file,
and have successfully created a pdf and uploaded to Adobe. But I'm
stuck at this point. All I want is a simple link (or click) for a
student to bring up the forms. But I'm not seeing how to go about
putting those in the proper spot of my web pages.
Remember when replying, you are dealing with a newbie, so be
kind. ;)
And thank you.

Hello Susan,
Thanks for posting, and for sharing your workflow!
You should be able to add links to your Acrobat.com
documents. To do this you will want to make sure the files are
uploaded, and visible in your "My Files" portion of Acrobat.com
That area can also be called the Organizer.
In your Organizer, depending on which file you want a link
for, highlight the file, by clicking on the icon (not the text) for
the file. Then to the right of the filename, click on the dropdown
menu's down arrow, and select "Copy Link" from the bottom of the
menu that pops up.
Not much will happen, but the text for the link will be
copied into your "Clipboard" ... You will then need to Paste
(ctrl-v) the text somewhere, before it will be visible..
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Im new to this and need help with putting a password on my wireless

I've had my linksys router for a few years now and recently have been asked to secure it so no one else in the neighborhood can connect to it but me but Ive never known how and I cannot find the installation CD for it. I have a model number# WRT54G. I tried searchin the forums but couldn't seem to find one I could understand. If anyone could please offer me some help on how to simply put a password on it so just my computer and the others in the house can access the wifi thatd be great. Thanks

To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" or "Wireless Security" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. The patch is located in SP3, so you will need SP3 to run WPA2.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

IMac won't keep system settings. Mac OS X version 10.6.5. New to this and need help. Thanks

Just got my first iMac and am new to the Mac operating system. I figured out how to set it so I could connect to the internet and also set my wallpaper and screensaver to my liking. After I shut it down and turned it on later, all of my setting were gone. It reset itself back to the original settings it had when I got it. I bought it at an auction and it was previously owned by a local community college. I did not get any disks with it. I have searched the internet on how to fix it and am more confused than ever. I don't know if I have Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, etc.
The computer seems to work just fine. It boots up quickly is loaded with programs I have yet to learn. I do know that it sat unused for a year or more. Could it be that the internal battery could be dead? I have looked but cannot find any kind of diagnostic test or information regarding the internal battery on the internet. Not exactly sure what kind of info someone would need to help me fix this issue. The hardware overview I found in system profiler looks like this:
Model Name:                       iMac
Model Identifier:                   iMac4,1
Processor Name:                Intel Core Duo

Bus Speed:                          667 MHz

Hardware UUID                   00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB8BC90C
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

The retail version of Snow Leopard is 10.6.3, so the only way this model would be running 10.6.5 is if someone installed a version of Snow Leopard that came with a new iMac model with 10.6.5 pre-installed. In effect this computer has the wrong version of Snow Leopard installed which could be the reason for your problem.
I suggest you do this:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
After you receive your Snow Leopard DVD do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
      logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Newbie in portal and need help

Hi,
In portal, is there any view (like data dictionary views) where I can get the name of the reports and the name of the tables or views that they are based on
example.
let's say I have 2 reports.
1- rept_dept based on scott.dept table
2- rept_emp based on scott.dept and scott.emp table
I need a SQL statment that will produce this output
report name table_name
rep_dept scott.dept
rep_emp scott.dept
scott.emp
Thank you !
Gregg.

Jose,
i suggest you start with looking at the status of the report with id=14511 in the logs of the reportserver. You can find these from the Oracle Entreprise Manager by selecting the reportserver -link, than follow the failed/completed task-links.
If the report finished succesfully, Internet Explorer probably tried to show the report before it was finished. If this is the case, you can build a small timer that waits for the report to finish or that queries the report server if the report is finished before you trie to show the report.
Questions:
Can you show the report when you enter the url to the report manually in Internet Explorer?
Do you use Headstart?

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.
