I think he means the CC desktop app, which after you finish downloading just says "view tutorials".
The CC desktop app is just for downloading and managing your subscription. To actually launch the application you do that in the normal way, just like any other application.

Just want to get started. I am unable to move beyond the voice over welcome screen. Any advice would be welcome.

I just want to get started with my new out of the box MacAir. I canot move beyond the voice over welcome screen. It seems to be stuck. What do I need to do to advance out of it?

Bt seem to have got their act together. After six days! All of a sudden it works. What a surprise, shame their help desk would not admit anything was wrong.

Newbie looking to get started in Mac programming

Hi,
I have a handful of ksh scripts written for Leopard, I would like to create an interface/wrapper in C++, ref existing system prefs, to bring everything together under a suite of commands and eventually rewrite the shell scripts into C++. Is there a preferred C++ application and help resources, samples, etc to get started?

On macintosh, the preferred language is Objective-C, and the preferred framework is Cocoa. The tools to develop in Objective-C/Cocoa (and also other languages) are installable using your Leopard install disk, or you can download them on the [ADC website|http://developer.apple.com>.
You also have the documentations that go with it, and a lot of courses about Cocoa and Objective-C programming.

Newbie - How to get started with JSP?

Hello,
I am new to JSP and Java. I have NT server with Option pack 4.0 Installed (IIS/MTS). Can I use the same machine to learn/develop JSP? What software do I need to run/develop JSP? What development software do you recommend to develop JSP? (Example: for ASP I would recommend Visual Interdev).
Thank you very much.
Regards,
JS

Software use JRun Server from macromedia
http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/
This is evaluation version.
For beginners 'JavaServer Pages by Aneesaha Bakharia' is fairly easy - code and pictures. It has a cd with JRun on with no time limitation but is not full version but will get you going. I was up and running in a few mins.
You will have to download additional software to complete the whole book.
More advanced: Wrox book Professional JSP - can't remember full name is good.
Once you know a bit can use apache with mysql database.
It will help if you know a bit of Java I find sun's website has improved recently and has good tutorials. It didn't have last year. Also for JSP info Javaworld.com is good it has articles with zip files you can use.
Enjoy
James

Total newbie trying to get started.

I have a domain name and am going to sign up with a web
hosting company. If I purchase Contribute, can I use it to design a
new web site or is Contribute only used to edit existing web pages?
TIA

Contribute can only be used to edit a site that's already
built. It can
allow you to create new pages at an existing site, but it's
not possible to
create pages from scratch and build a new site. If you're
looking for
something easy you might look at NetObjects Fusion for
Windows or Freeway
for the Mac.

How can I use the NI PXI-6508 with Lab View 7? what are the first steps to get started??How can I use the channels with lab view 7????

I have a 8 slot PXI system with 2 NI PXI 6508 and 1 DMM 4070 in it. I want to get started with programming the digital I/O cards (6508)! How can I use this cards with LabView 7?what is the best way to get started, or where can I get examples showing how to use the several channels?
Thanks!
Philipp

Philipp,
The best way to get started is to decide if you want to use traditional NI-DAQ or NI-DAQmx. Recently we released NI-DAQ 7.1 which provides NI-DAQmx support for the PXI-6508. In my opinion, NI-DAQmx is more efficient and much easier to use.
To get started with examples, simply launch LabVIEW and go to Help>>Find Examples. Then expand Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx and select the appropriate digital group for your application. This should help get you started.
Please repost if you need addition assistance. Good luck with your application!

ADVICE FOR GETTING STARTED IN RECORDING

I have just purchased a new IMAC 24 inch 2.4 core duo with 4 gigs of ram. I was wondering what a good setup would be in getting started in home recording, would a good audio interface such as the presonus firestudio, with garageband be good, or something like presonus firestudio, with logic studio, be better, or maybe apogee ensemble, with logic studio? We will be doing some song writing, and recording a band. Any help would be appreciated. Like I said totally new to this.

TCHADWELL wrote:
Hey thanks for replying, garageband is a pretty cool app. and I would not mind starting in that , what ever I start in to learn, I want to stick with that and learn it. How much of a learning curve will it be to go from garageband once I learn it, to logic? Audio quality is going to be important for song demos and ect.
The thing about GarageBand is that there's virtually no learning curve. It uses the same sound engine as Logic, but with a distilled interface that boils everything down to basics. Also, the latest upgrade to GB makes it less of a toy, and if you wanted to get started recording your band today you could plug and play into GB and do your thing with minimal technical distraction.
Logic has a bigger learning curve because it lets you control a million more things, but if you are motivated to learn it, that shouldn't be a problem. I actually enjoy learning and using Logic and you might too. Logic Studio also comes bundled with many extras that make it a terrific deal. You could always start recording in GB while you learned Logic, or just jump right into Logic if you were motivated to dive into the deep end first!
As far as interfaces go, as a practical matter, I think you would need to figure out if you're all you going to play and record together as a band, and if you have enough inputs for that. If you weren't going to use a separate mixer, the interface would need enough inputs to accommodate all the cables that were carrying signals from you instruments and voice(s).
The NRV-10 is very flexible for rehearsing + recording, although you would get better sound quality from either the Ensemble or FireFace. I would guess the Firestudio hovers around the NRV-10 in terms of sound quality. The truth however is that any of this stuff will likely sound good enough especially as you are just getting started. While it's easy for pros to wax poetic over master clocks and vintage pres, the fundamental technology has advanced to the point that any of these interfaces in the Firestudio range on up is going to enable anyone just starting out to get terrific results. And after you have some experience, and find that you have a specific need or want to lift the audio quality of a particular component, then there's a world of gear out there clamoring for your Benjamins .
So if it were me, I'd want to make sure that whatever I was getting was compatible with my system, could accommodate my inputs, and had sound quality that was good enough for my immediate goals. Also, as you are just starting out, I can almost guarantee you that you will need things that you don't yet realize you need. So whatever your budget is you should leave a little wiggle room for unanticipated expenses.

Advice: Getting started in the digital editing

What advice would you give someone with very limited experience, who wants to get started as an (paid) editor? (Other than don't do it.)
My budget is $14K.
What equipment?
Groups?

Go crazy searching the internet for tutorials, advice, sample videos, etc. You can find tons of free stuff. Look at websites dedicated to DV editors, and see what it's about.
Find someone you know who is a DV editor, or search for one through your contacts. Ask them about what they do and if they think it's right for you. They may be wrong, but it's a good start to see what people think.
Also, start editing some video with what you have. Work a little in iMovie for now, even though it's nothing like the "real thing," it's a great place to start toying around.
I would definitely start with Final Cut Express. You can't do almost everything you will need to do for a long time using just that, especially if you're testing the waters. Do you really want to spend 14K and found out that you don't really like doing it? It's worth spending the cash on FCE right now, even if you end up moving up to Final Cut Studio. Why? Cause it could save you over $13,000 of wasted money if you aren't sure you want to do it!
Do you have a camera? If not, find a good MiniDV cam (avoid hard drives, and DVD camcorders are a joke). I recommend the Canon HV20 for an amateur who wants decent quality. What's your computer like? Buying a Mac Pro can be expensive, but for starts you should be able to do the majority of all necessary editing on an iMac, unless you're a true "professional." I imagine by that time, you'll have earned some spare cash to buy a Mac Pro, and then you have the luxury of using two computers. You can have your Mac Pro chugging away at rendering while you do other things on your iMac, like edit smaller projects. Imagine how nice it'd be to be able to leave your big machine going on a serious project, and then work on small projects for friends/family on your iMac.
Also, decide what you're looking for in terms of a job. Getting a position as a professional working for a company isn't easy, because every employer wants the same thing: highly skilled, proof of training (education), lots of experience on the job, etc. How the heck do you get that experience without first being hired, when everyone who hires wants you to have the experience first? Yeah, that's a big complaint for people getting out of college looking for jobs. Basically, you gotta do stuff for free or next-to-nothing for people to get a foot in the door. You can also do private jobs, like weddings, graduations, parties, etc.
Speaking of which, is that what you'd like? Your own private videography company? If so, you have to know a lot about running a business, including people skills. Slow starts are the norm, and years of "is this really worth it?" are not unusual. Also, lots of family/friends asking for favors. "Can you do my wedding, we can pay you the $10 for the tapes, and then give you $50 for your time." Your family and friends won't realize how expensive and exhausting video work is! One camera alone can easily cost over $2000, and they think that their $50 or $100 is worth it for you? That's how you start, but you can't survive doing that.
BTW, expect the problem that many encounter: after doing free work for a while, you'll be called on again and again by those people to do another free or nearly-free job. You'll have to just be firm (and polite) about the fact that you've stepped up a level, and now because of your experience and professional quality, you rightfully deserve much more for your services. If they can't understand that, ask them to perform their job for you for free, and then tell them that you have to encounter that several times a month, devouring hours of time that would have been paid jobs.
Video work is kind of like acting: a lot of people get into it because they want to be like the big guys, but they never make it. Lots of years at acting schools and lots of auditions later, many wannabe-actors and actresses are working as waitresses and department store clerks because it just didn't work out. Also, a lot of video editing jobs are pretty gosh-darn-boring. Honestly, my friend who graduated with an degree in broadcast communication ended up interning at a popular company that was well-known in his circle, and although he made money, and there was nothing horrible about it, he said it was just plain "blah." He spent most of his time just trimming up and cleaning up clips for use in documentaries, educational material, and advertising. The complete lack of any sense of connection with the material made it a very labor-intensive task. At least working privately, you are using your own footage and feel a sense of connection with the events you taped.
Consider it well before investing a lot of money. My advice: grab a Canon HV20 and purchase Final Cut Express, and use primarily the web, a good book, and maybe a few tutorial DVDs to teach yourself for a couple months. Make some videos between 10-30 minutes long, and if you love it, start diving in deeper. Take some classes, get Final Cut Studio, and explore more of your options.

Getting started - What libraries to rely on?

Hi all,
I want to get started with a web project using JSF. What libraries/frameworks should this web project be based on?
I have taken a quick look at MyFaces, Facelets and Apache Shale. Because I am new to the topic I cannot not judge what the best approach would be to get started. Does it make sense to use a combination of any of these projects?
Further considerations are that I want to handle my persistence with the new java persistence api and that my site will at some point have to handle a large number of concurrent users and requests.
I know there are several discussions about this on the Net but I would like to know what forum readers have to say.
I would also like to know what you find to be the key advantages over a technology like php where the learning curve is said to be less steep and results are achieved faster. Php is also said to be a mature technologie in combination whith apache and mysql (lamp) and known to be performant even under heavy load.
Any thoughts? Thank you very much...

HI
First Download text editor that allows syntax highlighting for java.Then downlaod Java 2 SDK 6.This will get you started.
Now download official java tutorial and try and run those code using the method shown in tutorial.Once you learn to compile and debug then you are all set to use eclipse.Don't use eclipse and netbeans at begining cause you will learn about java erors and excpetion which will make you more comfortable with java.
I hope this helps.

Getting started with Bonjour

I want to get started using bonjour. I understand the premise of how it works with Macs and even with apps like Itunes. I use a mac, my wife uses a pc. I downloaded safari for windows and checked bonjour in the setup wizard.
Questions
1. Do I also need to download bonjour for windows from the apple website or when I installed safari for windows did it also install Bonjour.
2. What settings do I need to make on both my mac and my wife's pc to be able to share music and photos.
3. Is there any tech documents out there I can use for reference?

Hi jedicpa-
I don't use bonjour but I have experimented with it. I never really could get it to work so well.
That being said, there are these documents that may be helpful:

Help Getting Started with the Zen Vision:M (Z

Hi,I just got my ZVM and want to get started with it. I have a couple of questions, first:?. I have Windows Vista. Can I just plug in the ZVM and go without using the Installation CDs? Or do I still need to install something off of the installation discs?2. Why 2 installation discs? There is with a black cover that says Easy Start CD and has the Urge and Window Media Player logo at the bottom. The other is just in a plain white bordered sleeve with a light colored disc that says Zen Vision: M Installation CD at the bottom. I think I want to start with the light colored disc, but want to make sure. Thanks.

I think that the White disk that says Zen on it is the one you want it has Creative Media Source on it and is a very useful tool for me, the other disk has Windows Media Player on it and will also install a connection to a website that you can purchase tracks from (which i took off as soon as i found this out) not the WMP though, for some reason i could not get my Zen to work properly without the WMP loaded on my pc, however i use the Creative Media Source instead of the WMP.
