Newbie clarification

Hi , I am trying to get a feel of things before I take a dip into all things FCPX / MOTION5 and movie editing in general. There is one question lingering at the back of my mind is will I be able to edit 640×480 ( 4:3 ) videos downloaded from youtube, with the owners permission, such that I am able to include HD (resolution) transitions/titles etc purchased from a third party. And will I be able to do the same with a footage taken from iPhone or an iPad or any other smart phone - thanking in advance, Naseer.

You will be able to edit H.264 footage downloaded from YouTube etc.
You should also be able to use HD transitions but they will no longer be HD when applied to SD footage.
As FCP X has around 90 built in transitions you shouldn't really need any more.

Newbie: Icons & Clarification

Hi, I am a 60+ yr old computer newbie and have a few very
basic quesions:
a) Can you explain what the difference is between the
following (or maybe they are all one in the same, just called by a
variety of names)
1.Macromedia Flash Player
2.Adobe Flash Player
3.Macromedia Shockwave Player
4.Adobe Shockwave Player
b) I successfully downloaded Adobe Flash Player (and I may
even have a shockwave player, not sure)
How do I get an ICON on my desktop for each of these flash
players and shockwave players ?
c) If it's not too much trouble, how do I find out which
flash player / shockwave player "version" I have on my computer.
For your info, I have Windows Me, 866 MHz, 512 Ram, 40 Gig
Hard Drive
and if you need to know, I do have Adobe Reader Version 6.0.5
downloaded and saved as an icon
Thank You, Richard

adobe took over macromedia so the two different names are
just that names.You do not need icons for these players.Going to a
site where these players are used will activate them to see what
the site is showing.When you go to Adobe to download the player you
see there what player you have.My friend had windows me and had
problems with some applications as ME is a business windows
operating systems.But are usually are on your pc at
windows>system32>..there you will see the macromed folder to
see what version you have.

Newbi Question - clarification

Hello All.
I struggling my way in the MHP, bought Morris Book but havn;t found an answer yet:
Is it possible to create a MHP application, then using the Remote control like pressing one of the colored buttons, invoke the application.
i dont want to break the viewer viwing experience by making him change the channel ,. what i want is to open this app, like opening the current tv show information with transparancy.
i did understand that transparacy is issued with the HSCENE object but is there some example of this pressing button while being in a channel?
please help me or redirect me to some answer!
regards
Yoav

The most common way to do this is to launch you app, but only put a small graphic on the screen. This tells the user that the app is available, and also gives you something that can receive key events. You can then use these key events as triggers to load the rest of the app and display the main HScene.
MHP does place restrictions on what an application can do with screen real-estate, and completely transparent apps are not allowed. If I remember correctly, your app must use at least 3% of the screen space while it's running, so that the user knows that an application is active and that some buttons may not have the behavior that they expect.

Newbie Query regarding creation of Recovery disks and Backups

Hello ppl/Admins,
Some clarification required (my questions might seem dummy ...but i have no choice).
I'm a newbie and just received my first laptop ever Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 (WinXP).
My queries are:
1) If i create a 'Complete Backup' under Lenovo care application will that include the entire hidden partition? Or do i need to use some other software like Norton Ghost to backup the entire image of the hard drive?
2) Is there a way to only backup the hidden partition?
3) I have noticed in other threads users refering to system and recovery disks, what/how are they used/created (i dont see any
create recovery disk option under lenovo care button)? How does a recovery or system disk differ from a backup?
My sole intention is to save/backup the hidden partition so that i could restore the laptop into its factory settings if things go wrong, so if anyone could help....it will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi atomic, if you look under the lenovo program file you will see two different entries that relate to restore / recovery, I'm not at my machine now to directly tell you what is called, other than one is towards the top half and the other nearer the bottom.
The one at the bottom has two options, the first is to create recovery media (I'm presuming this is for if rescue & recovery fails to boot up).
Under this there is then a 2nd option that refers to creating a restore cd, of which it will only let you make s single copy under MS licencing. I'm of the impression that if required and used, it will take a user back to factory restore settings i.e. original factory restore as it arrived. This I'm presuming will image the partition as well.
As for the other recovery option higher up the menu, this is for actuslly creating backups and restoring system and/or files.

Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
Thanks.

Blog Clarification: Role of BI developer to get Deltas functional (part 1)

Hi,
I will appreciate some clarification on the following blog that I reviewed:
/people/swapna.gollakota/blog/2007/12/27/how-does-a-datasource-communicates-delta-with-bw
This blog seems to be suggesting that as a BI developer, you need to know the DELTA TYPEs for each datasource (selected in R3) and with that knowledge, you will be in a better position to choose Update types in ODS/DSO Overwrite or Addition, in the BW/BI environment.
At least that is what I came up with from the review.
1. For each datasource you activate as a BW developer in the BW environment, do you really need to go to R3 and study this datasource through the table RODELTAM to see the datasource type e.g. ABR, ABR1, etc and all the settings such as serialization =1 or 2?
2. I thought these datasouces, e.g. 2LIS_02_HDR are SAP delivered, ready to be used, isnu2019t it?
So, I understood that a decision will have to be made between ABR and ABR1 as the delta type.
i. whose responsibility is it to make such decisions?
ii. The R3 folks or the BW developer?
iii. What influences such decision making?
iv. In this table(RODELTAM), on R3, I saw several u201CXu201Ds under different columns, who sets these?
3. There were also discussions as to whether a datasource supports DSO/Cube or not?
Does this support the argument to study a datasource on R3 side in the table RODELTAM before using it?
Thanks

If you are a newbie and using it for the first time ofcourse you have to.But I would simply use RSA2 transaction than those tables.

Ofcourse its BW developer who deals with BW related things.

Your datamodel.
3. There were also discussions as to whether a datasource supports DSO/Cube or not?
Does this support the argument to study a datasource on R3 side in the table RODELTAM before using it?
Datasource supports DSO/Cube, thats the whole point for determining the type of delta.
Hope this helps.

Newbie - need guidance to start HUGE import

Hi - I am a newbie to Mac and lovin' it! I opened iPhoto and plugged in my Canon S80 to copy about 30 photos and a dozen AVI files into the roll "fall birthdays". I am sampling with this small amount to get to know the software before my HUGE import comes... 18,000 images on my pc.
Here are questions based on my experiment that will help understand how to import my complete library:
#1 I noticed I have the Original and Modified folder. BUT - the modified folder holds the larger image. Wouldnt the original (larger) size file be in the Original folder? No editing was done on the images, not even keyword additions.
#2 If iPhoto creates duplicates on every image, that's great protection, but can I possible look forward to duplicating 18000 images??? GULP.
#3 I have AVI files that are copied into the photo folders as well. These AVI files are not usable by iMovie,etc. because they are not treated as movies. i have to copy these files into my Movies folder. How can these be handled? I have LOTS scattered in my pc folders - PSE4.0 Organizer copied them into the same folder with my photos on the pc.
#4 I have had suggestions to use iPhoto iBuddy that will help keep track of additional libraries. Is this recommended with the large library I have? Would iPhoto work well with my huge amount of files in ONE library? If you have more than one library you cannot gather photos from each library can you?? (you can only have one library open at a time, right?)
I am sure I have oodles of questions, but I will start here. Also, if there are tuts or otherwise on the site here, please direct me to some good resources. I am starting with the Help files, but it is a slow process learning - so much to learn since I am a switcher too!!
Thanks all...

Hi.
iPhoto tutorial at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/
First, you should be aware of the Golden Rule of iPhoto: Do not make changes to your iPhoto Library or file structure from the Finder. iPhoto is a database application, and changing things from within the Finder can damage the database. Everything can be done from within the iPhoto application itself.
That being said, you want to understand what iPhoto is doing. (Understandibly)
#1 There are 3 folders which contain photo files. Originals contains all of your original, full-sized, images. Modified contains the edited versions of your photos, including ones that were rotated. This gives you the option of "revert to original" any time you want. When I edit a picture in Photoshop Elements, the size in MB of my photo usually increases. This may explain what you saw. The Data folder contains the small thumbnails created by iPhoto, one for each file in the Originals folder. Thumbnails are automatically generated and allow you to see all those images at once; without them your app would grind to a halt.
#2 So, yes, every one of your 18000 images will have a thumbnail in the Data folder, but these are small files. Only edited (and auto-rotated) photos will have a version in the Modified folder. There is a way around this, but only if you forfeit the ability to revert to your original version. With a library this large, it makes sense to store it on an external drive, anyway.
#3 I have many AVI files in my iPhoto Library. I have read that people have trrouble with these, but mine have worked fine so far. I do not keep these in my Movies folder at all, as then they would not be linked to iPhoto. In my Library, these video clips show as thumbnails just like my jpegs, but with a movie icon near the bottom. When I double-click on one, QuickTime launches and the clip can be played there. I had no trouble importing them into iMovie, creating a movie with them, and making a DVD in iDVD. It all worked seamlessly. However, I believe that I read from Karsten Schluter on the iMovie forum that AVI is a "wrapper" which can contain several different things -- some work, others don't. Do yours open like mine?
#4 The top ranked member of this forum recommends iPhoto Library Manager and prefers it to iPhoto Buddy. If you use the paid version of iPLM you will have the ability to merge libraries if you should choose. Yes, one library open at a time. So I would maybe put older, lower priority photos in one library, and have another library for your current collection. Switching between libraries is easy enough. To transfer photos between libraries you could merge with iPLM and regroup. Performance of your iPhoto depends greatly on your Mac's speed and RAM. I have 5000 images in my library, but with only 256 MB RAM I have to be very patient. The more RAM, the better.
#5 Each time you import a group of images, the photos are placed into a new "Film Roll". This is what iPhoto uses for its file structure - your photos are listed in the finder inside folders with the same names as your film rolls. For your importing project, I recommend that you select Film Roll View in your Library. This way you can rename the rolls as you import to maintain a similar structure as you already have (although it will not be heirarchical). Rolls will list in iPhoto in chronological order, so edit the film roll's date if it is different than what you want. Do not import folders that contain subfolders. Start from the bottom of your existing structure and work up.
It is also recommended that you keep a current backup of the Library6.iPhoto file (found inside the iPhoto Library folder in Finder). This contains albums, info, keywords, etc. and is vital to have in the case of a database corruption.
Have fun with this big project. I'm sure others here will add their valuable input, as well. If you'd like further clarification from me, I'll be glad to help.

Clarification on Listener

Hi all,
I am newbie in Oracle Administration. I need some clarification on the Listeners.
Just please tell me, whether my understanding is correct or not
1) Listeners are not needed if the user process is in the same machine. i.e If I am trying to connect to the database in the same machine, then I dont need to start the listener
2) The Database Control (EM) will not be able to connect to the database if the listener is not running
Are these two statements correct. Please clarify

1) well, yes, but that depends on how the "user" connects. One example of this is in point 2.
2) Yes, Db control seem to require the listener.

Server upgrade newbie questions

Hi Everyone!
So I work for a small-ish nonprofit and as I am researching information on what my to-be system is, I am running into a lot of questions. I have tried google-ing them with not much success. So I am hoping that all of your expertise might help
drive me in the right direction.
Mind you, I have only been with our organization for about 2.5 weeks, and it is all over the place.
Right now, we have approximately 90 PCs, both desktops and laptops, distributed around 12 counties. ~50% of these PCs are utilized by our staff, while the others are used by the general public for internet and document editing. We also have ~
30 smartphones that I need to manage at some level. I would also mention that we have PCs with XP, Win7, Vista, and Windows 8 (these PCs were all purchased by different people at different times, or donated to our organization). We are currently
transitioning to google mail, so I was also planning to use the google apps extension to integrate with AD. Right now, our local "headquarters" is where our servers are located, and the person who set our server up had installed SBS 2011. There
has been a domain setup, and all but one of the local PCs were added to it (minus the Win8 machine due to SBS limitations).
Because I am new to this, and the situation is a bit complicated (as you can see from above), I was really impressed with Server 2012 R2 because of some of the capabilities of it. The primary functions of the server are to provide a way for me to manage
all of the users (even the distributed ones), the PCs, and the devices (phones). The way that I understood this, is that DirectAccess could allow me to provide help desk support (I am the only IT person in our organization so I am wearing multiple hats),
removing the programs that were utilized by my predecessors (i.e. logmein). I am hoping that with them all added to the domain, I would also be able to ensure that they were being updated properly on a schedule. We also have multiple different
anti-virus softwares that have been deployed at different times on different OSs. I was hoping to be able to standardize this and be able to manage that as well.
So....the questions....
Because we are a nonprofit, we are members of techsoup and can get the software cheap enough, but I don't really understand the licensing, particularly the Remote desktop services CALs. How does this service differ from what I currently understand
as RDC. Do I need to get one of these CALs to be able to provide remote support to users/PCs?
How do I properly assess the software? Because I have never performed a server upgrade, or really messed with Server other than seeing the SBS console and being able to muddle through it easy enough, an I going to have issues when upgrading from SBS
2011 (backing up and redeployment)? The current Hardware is going to be on the low end of the min. sys. requirements. Is this going to be a huge issue considering the size of our organization?
Am I even on the right track?
My hope is to create a semi one time investment (for at least the next few years) so that the focus can be turned towards upgrading field equipment.
I would appreciate everyones thoughts and help (as I mentioned in the title, I am a newbie at server stuff).
Thanks in advance!

"Because we are a nonprofit, we are members of techsoup and can get the software cheap enough, but I don't really understand the licensing, particularly the Remote desktop services CALs. How does this service differ from what I currently understand

Your absolute best source of licensing information and clarification is to speak with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. You can find one by starting your search at
www.microsoft.com/licensing.
Are all these devices owned by your organization? If so, dump XP as quickly as possible. You also might want to check into Office 365 instead of google apps, unless you like the fact that google reads everything you do. The combination
of Office 365 and Windows Intune might seem like a lot of money up front, but when you consider the significant amount of management time that is simply eliminated by them, they can be quite cost-effective.
It's pretty hard to 'assess' the software without any knowledge of applications needed, usage patterns, vendors, etc. If you do not feel comfortable performing the function yourself, find a reputable local consultant to come in and assist.

Question by a JMS newbie

I am a relative newbie to JMS and I was wondering if I could get some clarification on some behaviour I have noticed with SJS MQ.
I have set up a test environment with a broker, connection factory and a queue (Destination name MyQueueDest, lookup name MyQueue). The broker has been configured with a destination 'MyQueueDest'.
I have then used the demo application provided by SJS MQ 'SenderToQueue' to send to the queue 'MyQueue'. In the administrative console I have noticed that there are three destinations, including both 'MyQueue' and 'MyQueueDest'. When I use the QBrowser application to browse the queue, the test messages I have sent show up in 'MyQueue', whereas I expected them to show up in 'MyQueueDest'.
Is this behaviour correct? It surprises me that it seems to create a destination on the fly, since I would have thought that this would be a bad idea. I would have also expected that by supplying the lookup name 'MyQueue', it would resolve it to the destination 'MyQueueDest'.
Can someone please enlighten me?

Depends what you mean by "connect":
• Do you want to record the keyboard's sound? Then connect its audio out (line-out) to the Mac's line-in, with the proper cables and adaptors.
• Do you want to use the keyboard to trigger GB's internal sounds? Then you need either a midi interface that connects to your keyboard's midi out port and the Mac's USB port. Or, if your keyboard has a USB out, you need a USB cable and driver software for the Mac (if the keyboard isn't "class compliant").
• You can't use GB to trigger your keyboard's sound, since GB doesn't offer a midi-out (only with additional software).

Domain Guideance and Clarification using SVN and an Export suggestion

Hello Oracle SQL Data Modeler Support,
Apologies if this has been documented somehwere and I have missed reading it, but have gone through the User Guide and cannot find the clarification I want regarding domains.
1) WHAT IS BEST PRACTICE TO SAVE WHEN USING SVN
From the forum I have picked up that the domains file is in the following directory:
~\datamodeler\datamodeler\types
File name is 'defaultdomains.xml'
When I come to save the file using SVN I get 'Choose versioned folder for storing system types'
I assume this is where the domains file is stored.
I require the Domains to be avialable centrally to all Designs I create, what should I do?
a) Set the folder to ~\datamodeler\datamodeler\types
b) Create a design called 'Domains' and store it in this folder
c) Any thing you may suggest
2) EXPORT OF DOMAIN FILE SUGGESTION
This should be a quick win for you, can you please add an Export Domains function, seems this needs to do no more than make a copy of the defaultdomains.xml file and create it in a specified export directory.
Will avoid having to go through the forum to pick up that the defaultdomains.xml file needs to be copied and transfered over for new SQL Data Modeler installations.

Hello,
I require the Domains to be avialable centrally to all Designs I create, what should I do?Default location is fine if SVN is not used and if all designs are used only on that computer.
If versioning is used then it's better to have separate directory for domains and this directory shouldn't be part of any design's directory - i.e. for designs you can have directories c:\des_1, c:\des_2 ...c:\des_n - one directory per each design and that directory will contain design DMD file and design folder. For domains you can have directory c:\DM_Sys_types and you need to set this directory in "Tools>Preferences>Data Modeler>system types directory" - logical types, RDBMS sites and scripts also will be stored there.

It's a no brainer between the AirPort Extreme and Airport Express.
The AirPort Extreme has 6 wireless antennas up at the top of the "tower", while the AirPort Express has four, so the Extreme has significantly better wireless speed and range than the Express.
As you know, the broadcast power of wireless routers is limited by law, and most routers are running full blast. Apple routers are not known for their broadcast power, so what we cannot tell you is whether the Extreme will outperform the existing wireless router that you already have in terms of range.
Also as you know, the speed of your Internet connection is limited to the plan that you have with Verizon. An Apple router cannot take the speed of Internet connection that it receives from your Verizon plan and make it go any faster.
A user who has both the same Verizon router as you and an AirPort Extreme might be able to tell you how the products compare in his home.
But...and this is a big BUT...... the bottom line with any wireless router is that you will not know how well it performs in your home until you try it out in your home. To think otherwise would be foolhardy at best.
Buy from Apple and you have a 14 day return privilege in case things don't work as well as hoped. Other stores may offer a similar option. Check first, before you buy.

BI Java Installation: Clarification Needed!

I'm wondering if someone could help clear this up for me:
We have installed NW2004s SPS08 on Solaris with only the usage type EP (AS Java/EP). Awhile back I was tasked with connecting our BW ABAP system to our Portal ("Integration into the Portal" - transaction SPRO etc).
After starting this task I noticed I was missing things that the instructions were telling me to configure; i.e. Items that were related to BI that weren't in the Portal such as certain roles, the BI Repository Manager etc.
Reading around, it seemed like I need to install the BI usage type.
I have now been tasked with another installation of the Portal (NW2004s SR1 this time), but am trying to head off the problems I'm experiencing trying to connect the Portal to our BW ABAP system. This will be a Java only installation. I've read that BI-Java requires EP and AS Java, and that if I install the BI-Java usage type, EP and AS-Java will be installed automatically.
My question is, if I do the BI-Java installation and it automatically installs EP/AS-Java, will the Portal still act the same way as it does in my EP/AS-Java only installation I already have? We have many plans to use the Portal as an entry point for all of our backend systems, so if the Portal's capabilities are not what we see already (in our first installation of just EP/AS-Java) then we will have problems.
Any clarification is greatly appreciated and I will award points accordingly.
THANKS!
Beau.

I think that's what I needed to know.
I was actually wondering about DI as well. Our developers are having problems deploying .EAR files to our original EP-only install. They can deploy .PAR files with no problems, but .EAR files always error out. Maybe having DI will solve this problem as well? I'm a little concerned about the hardware capacity of this box with having BI, EP and DI all installed on it. I had contacted SAP about installing DI a while back and basically they had told me to install it on a seperate server, by itself. We're running a Sun Enterprise 420R, 4G of memory and a 450 mhz processor for this new installation. Do you think this box is capable of handle EP, BI and DI (AS-JAVA)?
Thanks for your help!

Newbie Alert: Problem with saving downloads to a network drive

I'm a new Mac user so, I apologize for the newbie question.
I've have a NAS on my home network. I can see it and access it just fine. I have Firefox set to ask me where I want something downloaded. I don't get the option of putting, say a PDF in a folder on my network storage device.
I can put it anywhere on the iMac's hard drive or even a USB/Firewire drive but not a network location. In Windows, you'd map a drive and be off to the races.
How do I do this on a Mac?
Thank you in advance,
Rick

AFAIK, not doable for NAS HDs. Since you're new to Macs, you're going to have erase windoze stuff from you lexicon, check these out:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Zodiac;
public static void main(String args[])

}else if (yr1==1977 || yr1==1989 || yr1==2001){
System.out.printf("Your zodiac sign is %s!\n",snk);
} else
System.out.println("Invalid");
now my problem is how to turn this whole code into gui using those dialog boxes.
