Newbie who needs help!

I require someone who has a lot of patience as I am a complete dimwit when it comes to computers and I am about to thorw mine out the window. Unfortunately when I brought my mp3 a friend set it all up and i didn't take any notice. I am now trying to download more songs and for some reason nothing is transferring. I have also managed to delete all the previous songs off my player but they are still in the Creative Media Playlist but not on my actual mp3. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To start the thread, you might want to let others know which MP3 player do you have and the current player firmware version.

Newbie to Java who needs help..

Hello all.
I am having some troubles making a random walker/Drunkard. What I have to do is make it that the user inputs the starting X, Y coordinates and the amount of steps he has to walk. After that, it is post to print back the new coordinates he walked to and the distance of his new coordinates is to the starting one. I am new to java so I am confused.. This is what I have so far..
import java.util.*;
public class Drunkard {
    private int x;
    private int y;
    private int numSteps;
    private int Distance;
    private int moveDrunk;
    public Drunkard() {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.numSteps = 0;
    public int getX() {
        return x;
    public int getY() {
        return y;
     public int getSteps() {
        return this.numSteps;
    private void move(int numSteps);
    private void moveDrunk(){
    moveDrunk = (int) (Math.random() * 4);
    public int getmoveDrunk() {
        return moveDrunk;
public boolean getDistance{
(int)(Math.sqrt((getX()*getX()) + (getY()*getY())));{
return Distance
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DrunkardSimulator
    public static void main (String[] args)
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print ("Enter the number of steps: ");
        numSteps = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.print ("Enter the starting x coordinate: ");
        x = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.print ("Enter the starting y coordinate: ");
        y = scan.nextInt();
        Drunkard drunk = new Drunkard();
        System.out.println("The drunk moved to X" +drunk.getX() + ", y " + drunk.getY() && "a distance of " + drunk.getDistance());
}Any help would be nice.

Sorry. I should have stated what I need help with..
I need help with making him move randomly when the user types in the x,y starting coords, and the amount of steps he has to walk from what the user inputs. I also need help printing out the new x,y coords he walked to randomly and the distance his new coords are from where he first started at (the coords the user the typed in.)
I have two files:
Drunkard.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Drunkard {
    private int x;
    private int y;
    private int numSteps;
    private int Distance;
    private int moveDrunk;
    public Drunkard(int x, int y) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.numSteps = 0;
    public int getX() {
        return x;
    public int getY() {
        return y;
     public int getSteps() {
        return this.numSteps;
    public void moveDrunk(int numSteps){
         for (int i=0;i<numSteps;i++) {
        if(rand.nextInt(2)==1) { x+=1; } else { y+=1; } }
    public int getDistance(){
(int)(Math.sqrt((getX()*getX()) + (getY()*getY())));{
return Distance
}And DrunkardSimulator.java
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DrunkardSimulator
    public static void main (String[] args)
int x;
int y;
int numSteps;
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print ("Enter the number of steps: ");
        numSteps = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.print ("Enter the starting x coordinate: ");
        x = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.print ("Enter the starting y coordinate: ");
        y = scan.nextInt();
        Drunkard drunk = new Drunkard(x,y);
        drunk.moveDrunk(5); //5 steps
        System.out.println("The drunk moved to X,Y" + drunk.getX() + drunk.getY() + drunk.getDistance());

New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

Hi all,
I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi.
No, Simon, it does not work that way.
First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
Hope this helps.

Those who need help converting in iTunes:

If you're like me and needed an mp3 file or anything but kept getting stuck with m4a, there's a SIMPLE way to fix this (not the crap people give you about having to burn CDs and stuff)-
1. Open iTunes and go into your preferences.
2. Select the importing tab.
3. Where it says "Import Using: (AAC ENCODER)" just select the one that says MP3 encoder, or whatever other file you want it to be.
4. Go back into your library with those changed settings.
5. Select a song (or a number of songs), hold the option key while you click it and select "Convert selection to (MP3)".
Very simple. It makes a copy of the song in that format. There's no need to waste a CD, nor go to some website and pay for a converter. I hope that helped some of you.

The only time when people talk about "burning CDs and stuff" is when protected iTMS content is in question. Besides that, I don't think there is much mystery in transcoding files in iTunes, as it's pretty straightforward.

Newb here, need help! just check out what i have, make reccomendations please!!

Windows xp 32-bit,
4 gigs ram,
dual sli 7200 nvidia cards,
60gb internal hardrive, 1.5 terabyte external hard drive (brand new, very empty)
Recorded 24p and 60i on a Canon XL-2 (miniDV)
IEEE 1394 firewire connected from pc to uploading device. Unfortunatly i borrowed the xl-2 from school, and am trying to capture from a panasonic pv-gs36 i borrowed from a friend (only friend with a device that records with a miniDV cam).
I have been working fine on premier, very smooth when i import files, but when i tried to capture, as soon as i hit capture it freezes my whole set up, i have to manually restart my pc. I need to capture and export these clips to quicktime so i can edit in final cut at school (as requested by my instructer) the project is due in exactly one week, and the edit bays are always full which is why i opted for capturing at home with premier cs4.
Im in panic mode now though, cause of this freeze issue. I'll have access to an xl-2 for the remainder of the week if the panasonic cam is the problem, but if not, please let me know!! ill go out and buy a new graphics card if that really is the issue... but i cant afford the quadro....which is why i opted for adobe premier instead of avid.
im thinking its freezing because i recorded on an xl-2 and am trying to capture on this panasonic cam... could this be why?
i installed premier on the 60 gig internal hard drive...should i uninstall it and install it on the external 1.5 tb one? should my settings be a certain way when i start a new project? Please help out a stressed out student during finals week! I will be super grateful to any info anyone can provide. thanks again for all your time and effort =)

I'm unsure if the external drive is eSATA. I did buy it a few days ago 1.5 tb for 129.99 at fry's...good deal. What are the advantages of having an eSATA? The drive i have is a seagate Free agent-Desk external drive, model number st315005fda2e1-rk
<img src="http://www.thinkdigit.com/uploads/seagate_freeagent_desk.jpg">
Again, total noob here...
the external is USB 2.0, and yea, i only have 1 firewire port. Also, something i failed to mention is...I actually run my computer off my 42 inch samsung hd tv (720p native). When i was installing the whole production suite it asked me to get a moniter with higher resolution, but the click top continue installing anyway button was there so i went for it. Could this be the problem?
I'm fairly sure i recorded in standard play with 2 channel audio with the canon, so im starting suspect it is this dinky panasonic dv cam thats causing me all this headache.
also....please dont insult me too much...but:
whats a panny?
Whats scenalyzer?
annnnd finally, no input on the cards? I was thinking that was going to be the problem for sure. The cards are great for gaming but im not really sure what kind of cards are (at least decent) for editing and capturing.
I appreciate your help, ive been looking at the boards all night and this morning, i noticed you are kind of a superstar around here Millaard, so i really appreciate the effort =)

Loser who needs help!

are all 30 GB ipods 5th generation?

I need some advice about my fifth generation ipod. Apple isn't any help at all. My ipod has 40GB, or at least it is supposed to. It is supposed to hold 10,000 songs, but it won't even hold 1,000. It's used, I bought it pre-owned because I could get more GB for less money. So, not only does it not hold 10,000 songs, but it also has a very dirty short story in the notes section that I cannot figure out how to get off. The story is more than just dirty, but when I type in what it really is the apple content checker bleeps it out. Please help, anyone. My email is [email protected]

Newbie here needs help with features.

I hope I'm doing this right.
Problem #1
With my storm when I make a call the key pad for the phone goes away. This is problematic especially when I'm checking voice mail. It is prompting me to enter my access code and i'm trying to get the key pad to display itself. what do I do? Can I lock the key pad to display while making calls?
Problem #2
When entering a contact or a message that has several strings of number how do I get the Number pad to stay displayed so it does not toggle back to the alpha key pad?
Problem #3
Removing unused applications.How do I do it?
Problem#4
I am on an enterprise server how can I remove email accounts? I get two displays of the same emails comming in. They all come into a application marked messages then I get a second display with just messages for the email address showing on the application box. It is confusing and a duplication.
Thanks to anyone that can help me resolve these problems!

Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
It is always helpful to receive help, to include your exact BlackBerry device model # and carrier name, so that when you have a question, that information won't need to be asked up front. Also, stating your device Operating System version is normally another common question, found on your BlackBerry at Options > About, third line down, looks like "v4.x.x.xxx"
1. When on the call, yo'll see at the lower left a keypad symbol. Press it to bring up the keypad.
If that doesn't appear or work, answer those above. There was one OS release way back that had a glitch of not allowing the keypad to show at all when calling.
2. Message.. as in email? Press and hold the lower left numeric symbol on the keypad a full second the numeric keypad will lock in. Press the Alpha character at the lower left again to revert back.
3. Most can be removed simple at Options > Advanced > Applications. Scroll to the application name and press Menu > Delete. Later OS releases will be at Options > Applications.
4. Answer my questions above about the model and OS. The Storm1 and 2, according to the OS release vary on this.

Newbie really needs help

Hey. i just bought an iMac, and i`m having some trouble. I still don`t understand much of Macs, `cause i just came from windows. So i`m humbly asking for some help.
I wanted to copy my dvds, i have some stuff of my own recorded, with menus and intros, and i wanted to copy from dvd to dvd. How the heck can i do that?! I tried creating an image in .dmg, but it gets too big to record in a simple dvd with 4,7GB. I tried using MacTheRipper, but i could understand nothing about it! It recorded my dvd files in a VOB extension! What the heck is VOB?!
I would really apreciate if someone could explain me from scratch how to do these things...
thanx

Popcorn is only for copying video DVDs. It doesn't do CDs. After rebate, Toast 7 is only about $20 more than Popcorn (or $40 before rebate). The only reason I would purchase Popcorn today is if my Mac didn't meet the system requirements for Toast 7 and I had to have an application that can compress ripped dual-layer video DVDs to burn on single-layer discs. Go to Roxio's site and read the description of Toast 7's features and you'll see that the extra $20-40 is well invested.

brand new iPad, synced to iTunes, updated to ios5 was working fine. this morning only original programs will open. please help, I'm a total newbe

If none of your downloaded apps are working but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

NEWBIE BUILDER NEEDS HELP

I'm having a problem with my newly built P.C. that I hope someone can help me with. When I turn the power on, the P.C. powers up for about 5 seconds and then there is one beep sound and then the power goes out on it. What is causing this problem and how and what do I check?
My System info;
ASPIRE X-Plorer case,
MSI 945G Platinum mobo,
Intel Pentium 4 630 Prescott 800MHz FSB 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775,
GeIL DDR 2 Series 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 533 (1 Stick),
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RS-430-PMSR/P ATX12V Max: 400W, Peak,
DVD Burner NEC ND-3540 A,
Western Digital WD 200 Caviar SE Serial ATA Hard drive,
Your cooperation and assistance is highly appreciated, thank you for reading.

Thanks to all that responded. I think I found out what the problem was. It was probably those little wires for the reset switch and power on etc... I think I had the negative and positive backwards, I disconnected them and used a magnify glass to make sure that I can see what I was doing this time and bingo. The P.C. powered up and stayed on.
However I have another dillema now with my X-FI Sound card (Extreme music) When I install it in the 1ST pci slot the computer didn't detect new hardware installed. I tried all 3 of the slots and nothing. I even tried to install the software but that also stated something like it couldn't find such hardware on my P.C. My XFX Geforce 6600 PCI-e card works fine however. I don't know what to do here so I hope someone on this forum can help get this thing running on my newly built P.C. By the way, this card does work because I installed it in a Dell Dimension 4500 that I also own and no problems at all. This is really driving me nuts. Thanks again for reading.

I am learning to use flash and the first project I choose was
a fireworks display. I am doing ok except one area that I keep
getting stuck in. Using the paint bucket fill tool. I am trying to
fill an area that I made with the line tool with a gradient fill. I
Have made sure there were no gaps in the drawing and have followed
the books instructions but I can't get it to fill. The project had
another area that was to be filled with a solid white, and couldn't
get it to work there either. Could someone please tell me where I
am going wrong? It can't be that hard. Ir maybe it can. Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Akersrus,
Dont worry when we are here to help you. If you are very sure
that there are no gaps in the shape you created then maybe your
process of creating and adding the gradient was wrong. Lets see a
small tutorial to do so -
Open Flash (I use Flash CS3 and AS2.0 here - doesnt really
matter for illustration though)
1. Take the pencil tool and draw a closed shape. See that the
shape is closed by simply filling a solid color in it, and then
remove the color. Good idea for beginners.
2. The 'Fill Color' palette should be selected, now press
SHIFT+F9 , or goto Window -> Color.
3. A Color tool window pops where you can edit gradients and
do every possible gradient effects or styles. Select the 'Linear'
dropdown, and change the default colors to something you like in
the color selection pallete in the same tool window down below.
4. Once the effects are all set in the color window, select
the paint bucket tool, drag on the object you had drawn, you will
see a line forming which indicates the direction of the gradient,
let go, and you will see the gradient formed. You can edit the
existing style in the COLOR window anytime and then drag again on
the object.
Hope this small and humble tutorial helps you. And see that
you don't have any serious gaps in your illustration!
Enjoy Flash!

HT3096 Someone please help, I'm a broke a$$ college student who needs help with a power Mac G5

Where can I find the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card? There dosent seem to be any place online that sells it and lets say I do install the airport extreme card and enable wifi on a power Mac G5, will I be able to use a apple wireless keyboard with it? And just a side question, for the age of the computer what OS should I have installed, I'm not to femilliar with apple software, the only apple products I have are old iPods n a 4s. Oh and I would mainly use it for going online, a little bit of vid editing, watching YouTube vids, homework and uploading and listing to music, I would love to wirelessly sync my iPhone to the power Mac wirelessly.

Newbie! Need Help wit choice! Lots of Questions! PLEASE HELP

Have been a PC user for ever and recently have seen the appeal and performance of macs.
I am shortly going to college and have been reading hundreds of reviews and discussions on the different portbales available.
I will be using the portable for
- word processing
- internet and email
- music
-DVD's
-light graphics work
- light video work
Currently on AMD anthlon XP 2700+ with 1 GB RAM
I ruled out the 12" ibook as no superdrive and 17" powerbook as too large.
The ibook seems nice, worried about processor speed, will it cope with graphics and video and fast enough for encoding etc? Also worried about the tightness of the resolution, is the screen good in comparisson to powerbook. Also thought about DVD;s not being in widescreen. Also is the availabe work space enough?
The powerbook 12" seems nice because of it's compactness. The screen depth seems more than !5" and is that a problem? Is the 12" powerbook which has superdrive got a large enough visible work space?
The 15" Powerbook seems great, it's got nice screen and same size as old windows laptop (though resolution much higher), have read a lot of problems about very hot powerbooks (how big a problem is this?), i have alsp read about latch issues,(bad?) and is there a serious issue with a gap between the display and keyboard? Also have read lots of issues about the logic board failing and is this really common, as being student don't want to have to fork out vast sums of money and applecare is steep.
What would you recommend? Could spend up to £2000, would rather not spend it all(sorry don't know wot that is in $'s)
Just loved the OS and was all set and now am a little anxious as seems quite recurrent problems exist. Please help and offer any ideas, tips, solutions, experiences and anything that helped you chose ur mac!

I just bought my powerbook after a summer's worth of work, four weeks ago. Other than a few quibbles (mainly things I haven't figured out how to do on the mac, since i'm new to the OS) this 15" is awesome... It's fast, it's small, it has a widescreen, and... THE KEYBOARD LIGHTS UP (jaws drop left and right when the lights go out)...
It seems very capable, and hasn't failed me yet, knock on wood. The latch works fine and there is no issue with keys touching the screen.
I was worried about the heat issue too, so I thought ahead and bought a Vantec cooling pad. for $35 on Newegg.com, it has adjustable fan speeds, and a 4 port USB hub, which is VERY handy. It will get warm if i'm using it on my lap, but not enough for the computer's fans to turn on. Besides, I think the heat argument is a little weak. Sure, they may get hot, but we're talking about a high performance, VERY thin aluminum computer... Aluminum transfers heat very easily, so expect it to seem warmer than a PC laptop. Plastic doesn't transfer heat nearly as nicely, but even so, if you touch a pentium 4 based laptop that has been running for a while, it'll be just as warm. And, they're twice as thick, to accomodate the fans to cool that bugger!
As for the logic board, i think the main issue is memory being bumped out of place, or improperly installed... I'm sure that if some users just took out their memory stick, and carefully tried to reinstall it, they'd work fine... i'm not saying that the memory issue is a fluke, rather I think that some people may see that other people have had logic board failure in the past, and automatically assume that is there problem... Regardless, i've added my own 1gb stick from Crucial, and it works fine.
The powerbook 15" is an awesome choice... I'm still learning how to use the OS, which is a little scary at first (since i'm used to things being far more complicated (WINDOWS)), but it's very intuitive, a pleasure to use, and a great machine... Goodluck with your decision
