Newbie: first time interfacing with existing site

Hi, first post here.
Our company has an existing website that was created several
years ago by someone no longer with the company. It is ColdFusion
based.
For the last few years, I have been in charge of site
management. I have no formal background or training as a webmaster,
so my experience growth has been awkward and unconventional.
I've been doing coding using a text editor to do direct html
manipulation. I then test "live" on our site, usually on a hidden
page. As my company grows, I have not had the time to keep up with
site expansion, and I have yet to date to find a reliable full time
or part time webmaster replacement for me (believe me, I've tried)!
So in the meantime, I have decided to see if I can simplify
my work using Dreamweaver.
So far, I am not off to a great start.
I have downloaded our entire site to our local networked
server in order to have a local architecture mirror. However, since
our local server does not have CF installed, I realize that I
cannot test locally.
I set up remote access to our web server, and Dreamweaver
connects successfully when I test in site management.
However, when I go to "remote view" or "testing server" and
accept the prompt to Get Dependent Files, I always end up with a
partially complete view of the page I want to see, with many
missing elements.
Am I asking too much from Dreamweaver, since in essence I am
asking it to come in and manage a very mature and extensively
developed site after the fact? Is the program able to fully
interface with any established site as long as its programming
language is supported?
Thanks for any basic advice here.
Tod

Sounds like maybe you haven't told us everything. Does your
site use
Coldfusion programming? If so, you can always download the
free
developer version and test locally.
As far as testing HTML locally, you don't need a remote
connection.
You can download the files to your computer and use the
Preview in
Browser to test the pages before you load them. And yes, you
should
be able to scroll up and down and see the entire page if it's
coded
properly.
Or am I totally misunderstanding your question?

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id. do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

First time going to a site where I do not have access and clicking the back button I'm returned to the root site instead of the site I started from

Greetings,
I have SharePoint 2013 enterprise using ADFS for authentication. I have an issue where the first time going to a site where you do not have access and clicking the back button you're returned to the root site instead of the site you
started from.
ie:
1) at site http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx
2) browse to
http://www.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/private/home.aspx
3) receive a message: you do not have access to this site ((oops went to the wrong location - I'll hit the back button))
4) click the browser back button
5) get returned to http://www.sharepoint.com/pages/home.aspx
This only happens the first time browsing to a site that I do not have rights to, after this I can browse to the same site and hit the browser back button and return to the correct site, or any other site that I do not have access to.
Any ideas as to why this happens? Ideas of where to start looking?
Thanks

Hi Robert,
From your description, when you receive access denied message and hit back button in browser, it redirects you to the root site but not previous site. However, this just happens at the first time.
You may try to use some tool or check log which can tell us how does it handle the request when you hit the button. And compare the issue time and non-issue time.
I'd suggest you use Netmon tool:

may I throw in some really 'Evangelistic' thought?
Stop thinking in 'drives' (folders/files)!
.. or any other 'manually' organizing structure. FCPX is first-of-all a database; tagging, keywording, smart-list - all faster, better, more flexible and much more convenient than any 'drawer based scheme'.
... ok, that was a bit pathetic, and for sure, you should know how to utilize external drives...-
But when you keep starring on the Finder, you'll soon will be surprised, how FCPX manages to store 10Gigs on a 5GB-drive! (keyword 'hard/sym links')...
... no more 'drives'! Just Libs!

First time recording with digital drum kit in GB. Just got weak sound

Hi first timer here. Just bought a usb midi interface from Roland (umg-1g). It has midi in and midi out. My drum kit is Roland td3. My problem is that i get a weird sound that doesnt sound like my drums sounds like for me when playing. It sounds weak and empty with no real punch to it. Do any one have any idea of what I should do.
thnx !

Implementing DOM Interface with existing Java classes

I had planned on using some tree-like Java classes as a Document Object Model, which would give me access to all sorts of XML and DOM tools like parsers and XSLT transformers. Initially, I thought all that would be neccessary is to implement all the DOM Interfaces in org.w3c.dom and then I would have a set of classes that conformed to DOM Level 1. It was my understanding that interfaces such as DOMImplementation and Document would interface with various XML tools, allowing creation of a class that implements Document and then Document would have its various factory methods that know how to create the various DOM nodes such as Element, Attr, Text, NamedNodeMap, NodeList, etc.
The problem I'm seeing now is that the JAXP specification (which is what the latest Xerces and Xalan tools conform to) has something called a DocumentBuilder and DocumentBuilderFactory that appear to be necessary to tell the framework what type of class to instantiate that implements the Document DOM interface. Those appear to have a lot of methods that deal with parsing of XML documents and I didn't really want to write or even subclass any existing Parsers in order to get the functionality of traversing and transforming a set of classes that implement the DOM interface.
Am I missing something here? Is it possible to plug in any (set of classes for) DOMImplementation and get them to work with the various DOM and XML tools out there?
Is there an easier way to allow parts of an application access to internal data structures but have the more generic tools or APIs, such as XSL transformers, access that same set of classes as a DOM with the generic DOM interface methods?
Can someone provide me with some guidance here? I'm in the process of finalizing some design on a system and need to know if this is possible or if I need to alter my design.
Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, I think I am working on a similar issue. I am unhappy with the methods given by the DOM for retrieving data from the XML file and for building a file. Our software has a bunch of code that uses these classes and it is extremely ugly. My solution was to create a facade on top of the DOM model. Essentially I have some simple classes that store all the pertinent info (for me) about the XML structure. Essentially that is the element or attribute name, its values and in the case of the element, it's children. This makes it easier for me to build and retreive the data. What I then built was a loader class and a builder class. The loader takes an XML file and parses it in using the DOM classes and builds a structure using my classes and returns the root element. The builder takes a root element and creates a DOM object out of it. This frees me of having to code around the DOM classes all over the place and makes it simple to upgrade our XML code if the DOM changes or a better DOM is released. I am using factories to facilitate this and allow me to have loaders for specific types of XML documents so that I can have a class for each which further simplifies the XML related tasks of other developers on my team.

First time working with 802.11n, not working properly?

Hello,
This is the first time I use 802.11n in my network there is only one AP1141 but the clients don't connect at 802.11n rates, instead they connect at data rates as low as 11 Mbps. At the begining they connect at 144 Mbps but immidiatly it decreases to 11 or 12.
Many of our wireless clients in the company are Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN.
Any comments?
AIR-AP1141N-A-K9
AIR-WLC2106-K9
6.0.182.0
Let me know if more info needed?
Thanks

Hi George,
So you suggest to keep only WPA2/AES?
Regarding the coverage area keep in mind this is a really small 4 floor building with an AP floor floor, I installed only one AP1141 in my floor and kept the AP1131 in the other 3 floors, I might reduce the power to half since I don't need them working at full power unless I need coverage in the stairs in order to enforce roaming to IPPhones. Also, I don't want to bond channels on 2.4 because I read that as a recomendation in a Cisco's document (anyways I did not find how to do it in 2.4, wuld be a nice tip if you tell me how just in case) so 144 Mbps would be great as long as it works properly. I did not experienced these rate hoping until I enabled this AP1141.
And yes most of the clients that reported issues are Intel (engineering team, haven't checked the rest yet).
Regards!

First time dealing with Greenshift/Gamma problem in Quicktime/Safari

I've been editing video on a Mac and in Final Cut Pro since version 2 (I am transitioning to Adobe Premiere Pro so don't judge )and this is the first time I've had a huge problem with a shift in color from what I see on the canvas to what is exported - and the first time I've noticed that that problem/shift only happens when the footage is viewed in an Apple program (Quicktime or Safari when uploaded to Vimeo). Opening the footage in VLC or viewing the upload on Firefox? Looks gorgeous. But on Safari or Quicktime? Colors are muted and have a greenish cast.
In doing some research, especially on various Adobe forums, I've learned that this is a scarily widespread problem (and learned the term 'QuiRktime') so I'm suprised I haven't had this problem before - it may be due to the lovely taupe/grey outfits, skin tones, etc that I got to shoot.
The footage is for website/computer usage so looking at it on my monitor should be a good indicator. And I've had others look at the Vimeo upload and some have commented on the green cast (so are probably Mac people too...).
So I'm not sure what to do - how best to give it to the client.
Workflow: footage is ProRes HQ, shot in 1080, shrunk to 720 to make 'artificial second cam close-up' (don't ask...). Edited in Final Cut Pro, but I've been going back and forth with it in Adobe Premiere Pro to try and tweak the picture color and contrast, as I've been liking the filters in Premiere better than FCP lately, but had some pre-built items I needed to use in FCP as I haven't gotten around to re-building replacements in After Effects.
I've exported it as ProRes and used Adobe Media Encoder to compress (been using both the Vimeo 720 preset - and tried upping the bitrate, setting quality to max rendering - and the Broadcast 720 preset).
Only time I've gotten it to look good when opening on Quicktime is when I export it as Animation versus ProRes, but the resulting file is 12X (and thus 12GB) so too large to upload or burn on disc (and compressing it for web usage from that file gives identical results to simply compressing the ProRes file in the first place or exporting directly from Premiere Pro to h.264)
So my question is...what is the best way to export this footage to get the right color cast in Quicktime based computers and non-Quicktime using computers.
I've uploaded a screenshot of the footage opened in Safari and Quicktime (left side) and Firefox and VLC (right side) to Flikr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44843717@N04/8300689101/
Thanks for any help you can give

The footage is for website/computer usage so looking at it on my monitor should be a good indicator.
It actually doesn't matter where the footage will end up. The idea is to see the image accurately while grading, and for that you will need a calibrated, external TV. You just can't use a normal computer monitor or software media players for this.

Problem first time round with DAQmxWriteDigitalLines

Hello,
Please can any one help with the code below?
(start task)
(create channel)
DAQmxWriteDigitalLines(m_taskHandle, 1, 1, -1#, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, m_writeArray(0), m_sampsPerChanWritten, 0)
(stop task)
m_writeArray is 2 bytes long.
When I first run the task I get a buffer overflow error. When I run it a second time it works fine? The DAQmxGetWriteDigitalLinesBytesPerChan always gives 2 bytes per channel (strange? or expected?) - I tired increasing the m_writeArray size but it size exhibits the same behaviour. Anyone know?
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Jeff,
I tried your code in C and it worked as you said. First time around, no problems. I'm calling these functions with VBA (from within Excel,) and for some reason first time round I still get an error. It's curious, and I don't understand it. The problem is runtime error 6, "overflow." Interestingly enough if I step through the code, and pause for a second or so between making the channel and calling the write lines function I don't have a problem. I really dont understand since the C program works well. I've included the class I used to control the lines below, any ideas?

Daniel

HT201412 First time sync with PC fail

I have tried to sync my new Ipad with my PC and it wont do it. It says it needs a system restore and when I click that to do it, it says restore fail. Its showing a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing upwards to an itunes symbol as if to say I need to connect. But when I do it wont connect with itunes. I have disabled my security and reinstalled itunes and still nothing. I have only had it about 7 weeks and this is the first time I have plugged it into my PC. Any thoughts please'

Thanks, I have tried that a number of times and it brings up errors -1, 14 and one other, cant remember what that was, it just wont do it. I have been using it overseas with a NZ sim card in it and have taken that out to see if that made a difference, just wont recover. Bit of a worry. Any other thoughts

Curve 8330 first time synch with data loaded into smartphone

With other smartphones, when I would perform my FIRST synch, if I did not take certain precautions (preset synch software to specific settings) I would wipe out all data on smartphone . Is this true for the Curve 8330? Are there specific settings so when I synch my phone for the first time with data I already loaded, I do not wipe it clean?

Hey TomPortua,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The first synchronization does not erase the data on the BlackBerry Smartphone unless synchronization options are configured to "Replace all data in the target application", by default this is not selected if it is configured for Two way sync.
Have a look at this article for more information no configuring the Desktop software for Synchronization:

I hope this helps, cheers!

Using Time Capsule with existing network?

I am planning on purchasing a Time Capsule, but would like to know if it's right for me before I buy it. Can someone please answer these questions I have about it;
What security do I have available on the Time Capsule to stop other people on the network accessing my backup, any attached devices and the settings of the Time Capsule?
If I plugged my Time Capsule into a network switch (switch is connected to the main router), will I then be able to attach ethernet devices to the Time Capsule without any speed loss for those devices?
I already have wifi but I would like to set up the Time Capsule with a different name and password (and leave the current wifi alone). If someone connected to the Time Capsule, can they access the devices which are connected to the original wifi, and the ones connected to the main router by ethernet?
Can I easily create a partition on my Time Capsule, so I can have 100GB of space available for copying/sharing files directly and then the rest for Time Machine backups?
Can iOS access the files or back up to the Time Capsule?
If I connected a printer to the Time Capsule, can iOS devices use it to print?
I know there's a lot of questions, but I'd appreciate any help with any of the questions.
Thanks.

What security do I have available on the Time Capsule to stop other people on the network accessing my backup, any attached devices and the settings of the Time Capsule?
There is a device password that will be required of any user who wants to access the Time Capsule disk. If the Time Capsule is also configured to provide a wireless network, users will need to enter the wireless network password to be able to connect to the network.
If I plugged my Time Capsule into a network switch (switch is connected to the main router), will I then be able to attach ethernet devices to the Time Capsule without any speed loss for those devices?
In this case, the Time Capsue would be configured to operate in Bridge Mode. It functions as another Ethernet switch in that type of setup. Speed should not be affected.
I already have wifi but I would like to set up the Time Capsule with a different name and password (and leave the current wifi alone). If someone connected to the Time Capsule, can they access the devices which are connected to the original wifi, and the ones connected to the main router by ethernet?
Yes, since the Time Capsule will be in Bridge Mode, devices that connect through the wireless on the Time Capsule will be on the same network as your main router...users connecting through the wireless on the Time Capsule and will be able to "see" other network devices.
Can I easily create a partition on my Time Capsule, so I can have 100GB of space available for copying/sharing files directly and then the rest for Time Machine backups?
No. In order to partition the Time Capsule drive, it would need to be removed from the Time Capsule case, placed in a separate caddy or enclosure and then connected directly to your Mac to allow Disk Utility access to the disk for the partition procedure. Then, you would have to reinstall the Time Capsule drive back in the Time Capsule case.
In addition to a lot of work, this will void the warranty on the product.
Can iOS access the files or back up to the Time Capsule?
iOS devices back up to iTunes on your computer. Then, when a Mac backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine, all of the data is backed up. In other words, iOS devices cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule drive using Time Machine.
Using an App like Filebrowser, it is possible to have the iOS device browse the contents of the Time Capsule drive, but the iOS device will not be able to open files that have been backed up using Time Machine.
The iOS device will likely open most other normal files stored on the Time Capsule drive if the proper App is installed on the iOS device.
If I connected a printer to the Time Capsule, can iOS devices use it to print?
Yes if the printer is AirPrint compatible. Check this Apple support document to see if your printer is on the list of compatible devices.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Otherwise, you can add an App like Print Central to the iOS device to possibly allow printing from the iOS devices.

Setting up time capsule with existing wireless router and another time capsule

Hello,
I just bought my first mac (MBP) and a time capsule. We already have a wireless router, and my brother has an imac and his time capsule connected to it. The apple support people said that i couldn't use my new time capsule as a backup for my files because it would have to be in bridge mode and that would cause all sorts of problems and the backup would probably fail. That I would have to use my brother's time capsule to back up my files.
Is this true?? I find it hard to believe this issue hasn;t come up before.
Thanks,
Deborah

Thanks, Bob! If I may impose on you a little bit more, would you be able to guide me a little bit in terms of the setup?
Would I need to connect my time capsule directly to the router for first time set up?
If so, would I have to keep it connected to the router all the time after the first time set up, or can I keep it in another room?
Our wireless network was created back when we were a Windows household, so we still control it using Network Magic on an old laptop.
I unlocked the network (using Network Magic) when I tried to set up the Time Capsule (wirelessly, and before calling Apple), and after entering the network password my macbook recognized the TC and I got the good little green light on the TC. As soon as I locked up the network, I got the flashing amber light on the TC and airport utility couldn't find it anymore (using Airport utility version 6.1)... I unlocked the network again, the light turned green. I locked it back up, the light started flashing amber again...
Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

First time ever with this problem, importing an mp3 album...

Greetings
I encountered a problem last night, and it's the first time ever that I see this happening.
I bought Sigur Ros' latest album from their website, as 320kbps mp3s, but for some reason, iTunes completely refuses to import or play it. No error messages, nothing happens at all.
WMP still plays it fine. I tried stripping all the ID tag info, renaming the tracks, to no avail.
I did email them telling of my problem but got no answer yet, so I thought I'd ask here in case someone has ever had the same issue...
I have more than 1050 albums, all either downloaded from sources like iTunes and eMusic or ripped from my own CDs... Never had this particular problem before!
Thanks

Hello!
I ran into this problem as well and it's driving me crazy. Glad to hear the you've contacted them and they're aware.
Here's how I solved it. It's totally lame tho... They have to fix the files!
- Load each file in Quicktime Pro.
- Save as a flat movie.
- Import the saved movie in iTunes.
As I said, totally lame but it worked and the saved movie even kept the tags intact (so I didn't have to re-enter all these funky track names).
The weird thing is that iTunes doesn't appear to be confused about this not being a movie file. Maybe it's because the movie is flat (its resolution is 0 x 0) so it just treats it like it would any MP3.
Anyhow, very frustrating to do the right thing and buy straight from the artist only to not have it load in my music library! As soon as those files are fixed, I plan on re-downloading.
Cheers!
Michel
