Newbie here with a question....

Why did the scratch thread below get locked?

Thanks. Just curious. Although I somewhat disagree. I realize he is complaining about the scratching issue. But, I think his thread had some support related topics in it as well. Such as how to LEGITIMATELY keep scratches from happening. I too have issues with scratching and yes, I have a cover and have had one since the day I bought it but it still has scratches.

Newb here witha few questions.

Not a newb to macs but to my powerbook. I had a Powermac G3 all in one beige with 384 MEGS of ram, 9.2 OS and a factory speed of 233 MGHZ clocked to 280 and 4 GIG HD and CD drive. It since died a few years ago when the power unit/supply...i am guessing, crapped out. I now just purchased a Lombard 400 MGHZ powerbook G3 DVD/CD, with 64 MEGS of ram and a 6 gig HD. There is some things i need to get for it...ram, batteries and a bigger hardrive but i am happy with it. I am running 10.2 on it right now and REALLY need more memory. I am about to install 9.2 on it as well. My question is the PC slot on the left side, what can go there? I know the 333MGHZ Lombards use a DVD decoder there but mine does not since its built in. What sorta things can go there? Also i have a 10.3 CD here...should i install it as wellor will it make it run slower since i only have the 64 MEGS right now.

Hi...Newby here with a question

Hey everybody, i just signed up here with a quick question.
I've been using Itunes for about a year now and havent been able to figure out if its possible to display the lyrics of a song while it plays. I know you can put the lyrics on by clicking on a song and "get[ing] Info" but is there any way that, while a song is playing, the lyrics can be displayed on a side screen? For example, in the small display where the album artwork is displayed, could it show lyrics instead?
Thanks for the help

One thing you can do is install the Yahoo Widget Engine, then install a widget like iTunes Companion or Sing that iTune!.

Newbie here, with button action script issue

I have just started to scrach the surface with actionscript
and I have attempted to assign it to buttons. Much to my supprise,
it worked, sort of... All my buttons require a double click the
first time you click on them. I was able to put
this together, by
using the following action script for all my buttons:
on (release) {
ybutton.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(28);
So I have 2 questions. What actionscript will give me the
single click that I am looking for? Also, is there any shortcut to
making a broad change? In other words, will have to switch out the
code for every button on 37 frames?
Thank you

1: // You needed two clicks because you have 2 onRelease.
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(28);
2: Yes, it'll go fast I would copy the above and paste where
needed then just change the frame #.

Newbie here with a host of problems

Just got my I ipod touch and besides having to re-register every time I log on, I am also having problems with my ipod being seen as a device in itunes. Somehow I managed to download one song from itunes and play it on my ipod. When I went back on itunes to purchase another song, not only did it not recognize the ipod again, but I could not sync the new song and then the first song that I did sync was no longer on my ipod. What happened to the song that I downloaded? I am so disgusted. I can't get anything accomplished. Please help!

My advice would be to make sure you have the latest software. When you connect your IPT (iPod Touch) to your computer, iTunes should show your IPT. The latest software is 1.1.3. If you have 1.1.1, update to 1.1.2. and then to 1.1.3. You can find out which version you have in one of two ways: 1) On your IPT (not hooked to the computer) at the home screen, select Settings->General->About. You should have Version 1.1.3 (4A93); 2) in iTunes, Click on the IPT and you'll see the Summary tab. It will let you know if you have an update available. Now if you don't have the updated software,click Check For Update. If the update doesn't help, click the Restore button on iTunes. It'll reset your iPod and will sync everything back on.
Don't feel like an idiot: it's new so you have to learn it. We're here to help!

Newbie here with automatic update problem.

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a palm centro for sprint and so far I really like it. The problem is every morning when I get up there is this message...
Sorry, your secheduled automatic updte did not complete successfully because a connection could not be establised--32485
Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Hello Leila and welcome to the Palm forums.
This is likely an error message from the My Centro application of the Palm Software (store) application. The problem is that one or both of these applications is waking up while you're asleep and trying to check for content updates (not really needed in my opinion) and the Internet connection on your phone is currently closed.
I don't use either of these applications on my Treo 755p (My Centro is called My Treo). If you launch these apps on your Centro, and then press the Menu button on your keyboard you should be be able to access the menu item that controls software updates and turn off the updates.
Other applications on your Centro may also be looking to check for updates. I would also check Pocket Tunes (pTunes) to see if it is looking for updates also.
Hope that helps,
Alan G

First post, newb here.. simple question..

I seen that 2009.8 is more "automated".. and the defaults (as i've read) will most likely work..
after it's all done and have i have a blank screen with the prompt and i type root and hit enter and enter again (no password yet)(unless i make one during the process of install)
if i type pacman -S kde (that should install all of KDE and X)?
i read there's lil need to set up X any more?
did i read all this right?
thanks..
base installation of 2009.8 is easy.. its the next step where the wiki kinda stops..(at least I cant seem to figure what step is next)
i'm really after kde 4.3.1 (im using gnome now in ubuntu) but all i've read , it seems that archs ' 64bit kde is faster, more stable then kubuntu/ppa version of kde 4.3.x
and will mp3, avi, flash etc work out of the box? or do i have to search the forums to figure all of this out?
any help would be most appreciated..

I to had trouble the first time I attempted to install Arch... I gave up for a week and then decided to try again... and the second time everything just worked... My only advice is that likely your missing a step in the Begginers/Installation guide... if you have another computer that can load up the guides and continually reference them while you are installing I am sure you will be able to successfully install arch... From your initial post it seems like you didn't even bother reading large portions of the guide. Arch isn't mean to be a GUI do-it-all install... it is meant to be customizable to the individual users needs... The ArchWiki is the best resource to date that I have found... it is very well put together... 90% of the all the problems I have ran into are quickly solved by doing a quick google search "problemX archwiki" and if for whatever reason their happens to not have an entry on it... "problemX archlinux" seems to pop up relevant forum posts. I really do not see how their could be a simpler guide while still retaining the ability to customize the distro to each individuals liking and personally I do not find it that difficult or convoluted... it separated into easy to follow steps... albeit I will grant you a semi-long process (once you have done it once... it doesn't seem so long the second or third time you do it). By the time you do get installed you will have learned more about your system and that knowledge will help you in being able to track down problems as they arise or at least be able to post up the necessary information that will help fellow forum users in diagnosing/solving your issues. That being said... if you enjoy your previous distro and it does everything you like... then stick with what works... but just realize you are missing the brilliance in simplicity that is Arch ; )

Noob Here With a question

I'm new here so I thought I would say HI to all. I'm a self taught computer guy and late to the newer AMD cpu's.
I did a little searching and ordered a MSI K8N Neo2-F.
I was wondering what a good/average CPU would be for this. I still need to study up on these but I was looking at a 3700+ 1mb L2 Cache.
Also What can I slavage from the stuff below. It's all 6mo. old except the memory and video card which is brand new.

You should be able to use everything. Obviously the chip and cooler will stay the the NF-7
As far as chip goes, the 3700 San Diego chip should suit you fine for what you requested as a good average CPU.

Newbie Here, Have a question please

Hi newb here , Can anyone help with Port Forwardin...

Hi guys
Newb here on Broadband Option 3 .
New to the world of BTorrents ( hope thats not a dirty word ) and just need some help on Port Forwarding with the Curved Blue Voyager ( latest one I think )
Problem is I can't seem to upload anything back and obviously I dont just wanna leech all the time lol
Thanks in advance
H

First of welcome to BT Community Forums, although your in the help with speed/connection issues section and bit-torrent is nothing to do with BT but i'll still try to help.
downloading a torrent file is one thing but just because you download does'nt mean you need to upload anything if for example your downloading something with say 100 seeders and 15 leechers then you may find that you dont upload anything or very little, thats nothing to worry about at all.
Or
If you've made a torrent and cant figure out why its not uploading it may be due to the fact you need to upload the small torrent file to a p2p site in order for others to see it.
Hope this small insight into the world of torrents helps, but i dont know what else to tell you on this subject.
Kindest Regards

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here and have some questions.

Hi my name is Gary and I am a newbie to Flash player and what it is I can do and not do with it. Actually, I have some time on my hands since I got layed off and I haven't a clue what I am doing and could use some help getting started.
My OS is Windows XP Home SP3, 32 bit I believe.
Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18702 not sure what bit version but I'm thinking 32 but.
Not exactly sure what else I would need to tell you info wise, so please feel free to ask and how I can find this info out.
My main questions are, am I able, is it possible or even allowed to download .FLV files to my hard drive and how do I do it to view at a later time? I can go into details at a later time.
I have read a lot of info and have even downloaded a few .exe files, like FLASH SAVING PLUG-IN for IE8, thinking I was going in the right direction but seems to me nothing is working like I thought it would. I have the button on my toolbar but when I try to save a file things just disapper and I don't know why.
Please HELP!
Thanks in advance,

My MacBook Pro Hard Drive recently gave me the gray folder with the question mark of death. Even as

My MacBook Pro Hard Drive recently gave me the gray folder with the question mark of death. Even as a Mac Newbie/Novice, I successfully installed a new hard drive and the OS (10.6.8) software from my installation discs. I have, however, lost the ability to play video using the spacebar and I have no idea on the steps necessary to correct this seemingly simple technical blip. .Here's my system overview:Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s.
I am using the Premiere Pro CS5 NLE (with the 5.0.4 updates), and I have tried to reinstall the software (which is actually the Production Premium package) several times, but I still cannot use the spacebar (or any method) to play any of my imported videos.
PLEASE HELP in any way you can!
Prior to having to replace my hard drive, my software was working just fine. No problems at all. But now, it seems that I can't get it to play whatever type of file I import.
Again, I am a newbie to the Mac, so any and all correctional/repair assistance needs to be expalined as if I were a child : )
I would hate to try to revert to considering the sophmoric Final Cut Pro X editing software package, but I've got to do something to be able to get back to my editing activities.

@FatMac the internet recovery doesnt work. It goes into recovery mode and then when i try to reinstall it cant find a disk to install it to. So what would be a good choice to take now?
Recovery Mode presents you with, among other things, Disk Utility. When you open that, if the internal shows up at all, first try to "Repair DIsk." If that doesn't work but if the "Media" line is present, try to format and partition it with a GUID partition table (understand that you will be erasing the contents of your internal). Then try to reinstall the OS. If that doesn't work, and since your Retina MBP didn't come with a DVD drive or DVDs, you'll need to try a hardware test using these instructions from Apple (short version: shut down, press the power button and hold down the "D" key). If none of those things work, let's hope you either have AppleCare or your warranty has some life left because the SSD in your rMBP is proprietary and expensive. You'll need to bring it to an Apple Genius for evaluation.

[multithread] newbie here ... is inputStream shared?

Hi, a newbie here. I've been playing with java for six month now and it's been pretty fun. Looking forward to learn more about java from this forum. Now I have a question about this little project I've been doing.
I'm currently developing a multi-threaded client-server application (both client and server are multi-threaded). The idea is very easy which is to create threads that send http request to one server which will send back XML to the
corresponding thread.
I've managed to make it work. My application can now make http request and get the XML it's looking for. However, problem occurs when I try this scenario:
1. Client Thread 1 http request> server -> creates server thread 1
I made Server Thread 1 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 1 has to wait for the response.
Then, while Server Thread 1 is still on sleep, I make another http request:
2. Client Thread 2 http request> server -> creates server thread 2
I again Server Thread 2 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 2 has to wait for the response.
Now, Server Thread 1 wakes up and returns the XML response message. Now the funny thing is the Client Thread that accepts this response is not Client Thread 1, but Client Thread 2:
3. Server Thread 1 wakes up -- XML response --> Client Thread 2 reads the response instead of Client Thread 1.
What could be the problem!? What's also weird to me is that, if I try to do this scenario using a browser (by executing http request), the problem doesn't happen. Client Thread 1 returns to Server Thread 1 and Client Thread 2 returns to Server Thread 2.
The code I wrote consist of a thread objects which has it's own private UrlConnection, InputStream, OutputStream, etc.
This is a snippet of my code:
public class Process {
// this is how I create my threads
public void execute(DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
HttpProcess httpRequestor;
try
httpRequestor = new HttpProcess(datasource,ad);
httpRequestor.start();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
public class HttpProcess extends Thread {
private URL url;
private HttpURLConnection urlConn;
private DataSource ds;
private ADData adData;
private BufferedReader d;
private BufferedWriter t;
private InputStream in;
private OutputStream out;
private DataInputStream din;
private DataOutputStream dout;
public HttpProcess (DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
this.ds = datasource;
this.adData = ad;
// this is how I implement my run method
public void run ()
try
String urlmsg = "http://localhost:9050" +
"/?field1=" + adData.getField1()+
"&field2=" + adData.getField2()+
"&field3="+ adData.getField3();
System.out.print("Sending URL message : " + urlmsg);
url = new URL(urlmsg);
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
out = new BufferedOutputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getOutputStream());
dout = new DataOutputStream(out);
t = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(dout));
t.flush();
while(listening)
in = new BufferedInputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getInputStream());
din = new DataInputStream(in);
d = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(din));
String inputStr;
if ((inputStr = d.readLine())!=null)
din.close();
XMLParser xmlparser = new
XMLParser(ds,adData,ajData);
listening = false;
d.close();
I thought I had it right by having private inputStream for each thread. but the behavior looks like the inputStream is shared by the two threads. However, I'm still new with java so I know my conclusion worth zero. Has anybody ever bumped into this kind of problem? Looking forward to hear back what you guys think. I'm just really really really curious about this problem
Thanks so much.

Please use code tags ([code] and [/code]). It's also quite possible the problem is in your server code, or your test jig, etc. You should post a small example that replicates your problem.
Also, the while(listening) loop looks really screwy. I'm not sure what's going on there (why would you wrap your input stream inside a loop, especially since you close the input stream in the loop)?
