Not sure if fans are on/working?
have had a refurbed pbg4 17" - it seems to get quite hot - sometimes use it in bed on top of a piece of wood - this gets warm and goes thru to my legs.
Cant here a fan noise nor can i feel any wind around the notebook - is there a way to find out/test the fans - would re-booting into safe boot 9holding shift key down till fans blow) be the solution.
is there also a way to find out the temp the laptope is working at?
The easy way to test if the fans are working is to run the Apple hardware test. Find the OS X DVDs that came with your system, and insert the one that says, in small print on the DVD label 'AHT Version x.x'. Reboot holding the option key down, choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow pointing to the right, and follow directions. You'll hear the fans come on when it tests them, or you'll get an error message if there's any issues. If you didn't get a set of OS X DVDs with your system, Apple will sell you a set for a nominal value, just contact Apple support.
To measure system temps, you can find several at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/

HT4914 Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library
Can I use iTunes match if I am not sure whether there are any pirated songs in my library
iTunes match should work for that. I am assuming your friend gave you some music from a flash drive, and yor not sure if he/sh pirided it or not, and this is understandible. this screen shot should help. I also sugest looking into google play, which is not as convienet as far as combining with iTunes, but is free I bleive.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results. -
I am residing in Doha, Qatar (Middle East) and I wanted to buy the unlock iPhone 4S but not sure if the phone will work here... please help... thanks
It does not. It has listed :ATX Connector 24 (20+4) Pin X 1 PC, P4-12V 4 Pin X 1 PC, SATA 15 Pin X 2PC, IDE/Molex 4 Pin X 6
You need something with 2x PCI Express 6 pin connectors.
If you have enough 4 pin connectors left over after hooking up the rest of your computer this might still work though, if you use some adapters. They require two 4 pin connectors to power one 6 pin. I recommend looking inside your computer and figuring out which connectors you will need.

Not sure if my card is working correctly, all suggestions welc
Recently purchased a Dell Studio w/ Vista Ultimate SP Home and opted to also get the external sound blaster X-fi xtreme audio notebook card but i am not sure if its working as it should since the laptop speakers sound the same with and w/out the card... not sure if my settings are correct on my laptop or maybe this card was a waste since others have told me it only works with headphones....
i installed the cd that came with the card and the card has a blue led light when inserted into the slot reader on my laptop...
this is my first laptop and first sound card so not very familiar with how it all works so any and all help is much needed and appreciated....isthere a way to check and see if the card is actually working and improving the sound quality?
when i click on the sound icon in my tray it says speaker/headphones IDT High Def Audio CODEC...
thanks in advance....Just wondering but did you happen to read the manual for the card? Reason for asking is it quite clearly shows how to do just what you are asking,

Not Sure if Time Machine is Working Correctly
I’m relatively new to Time Machine and just noticed something yesterday that I thought was a bit odd. I’m not sure if this is how Time Machine is suppose to work or if I screwed something up.
Last month I bought a Drobo for use as a Time Machine storage location and for miscellaneous storage. I connected the Drobo to my MacBook Pro via firewire 800, and created a 500GB partition for Time Machine. Everything appeared to work just like it was suppose to, it backed up around 147GB’s of data. For the month of October I would periodically connect the Drobo via firewire and it would do it’s thing. Sunday I had the bright idea of connecting the Drobo to my Airport Extreme’s USB port to see what would happen with Time Machine. I opened the application up and at first it didn’t know where the backup folder was so I pointed it there. Once I did that Time Machine immediately started backing up around 147GB’s of data all over again.
I wondered why it was backing up everything again and just for the heck of it I opened the destination directory in Finder, and what I found surprised me. There are folders for each of the times Time Machine backed up in the Month of October but there is no directory for the one which occurred November 9th. Instead I see a file called MyName__0017f2c8c06c.sparsebundle.
Does Time Machine do a complete backup every month? When I opened Time Machine all of my data is there including stuff from October but I can’t find November’s files on the hard drive. I know they are there somewhere because the storage space reported remaining is around 150GB’s, so somewhere I have 2 complete copies of all of my data.
I don’t know what happened? Did I screw something up?what you see is completely normal. TM backups to network drives work differently than those to directly attached drives. when TM backs up to a network drive it creates a sparse bundle disk image and backs up to that. if double-click on MyName__0017f2c8c06c.sparsebundle it will mount as a disk image (it might take a while to mount) and your November backups will be there. backups to network and to directly attached drives are not interchangeable which is why it did a full new backup when you moved the drive to AEBS. It doesn't do a full backup every month normally.

Not sure why this didn't work properly.
So I programmed out a clock for practice/educational value for myself, and I got it near the end and encountered a problem. My program has 2 sets of class fields and a few temporary ones. The first set of class fields are text fields (hours, mins, secs) and the second set are Integers (h, m, s) (not int's ... Integers). I have two methods (setText and setTime) that convert between these two sets. setText sets the text fields to whatever time is stored in the Integers, and setTime sets the Integer values to whatever is stored in the text fields (assuming they're valid ints, of course).
The code that was behaving strangely is shown below between the large comment lines. I needed some way to update the time, so I first tried changing the Integer values and then calling setText() ... but it didn't work. So I then tried setting the text fields and calling setTime() and that DID work. The end result of both should be the same, and yet it wasn't. I was wondering why not? Can anyone help/explain?
I figure it has something to do with Integers and mutability, but that doesn't seem likely since they're both declared at the class-level and not within a method. I did some debugging of it (added System.out.println messages) and found out that the Integer value was changing, but then it was being reset back to what it was initially. bleh - I think I'm doing a bad job of explaining it. Anyway - here's the entire code below. It works correctly currently. But I left the bit of code in that wasn't working properly - just commented out. If you uncomment those and comment the 4 lines above them, you'll hopefully see what I'm talking about.

}What does reading the text fields have to do with
setting the text fields? You can set their values to
anything you want. Look up MVC, which stands for
model-view-controller. The text fields should only be
used to display information from the model, which is
a Calendar. The controller is the timer which updates
the view with data from the model every second. I think you need to re-read everything that I've said up to now...
It started out the program WITHOUT a timer, where the user would type in some numbers in the text fields and the time the clock displayed would change to match what they typed in. I wanted to keep this behavior simply because I wanted to. I wasn't attempting to make an actual authentic clock. After I had the program working, then I wanted to enhance it so that it altered itself, as well as the user still being able to alter it. I suppose if I were going to program it again from scratch, I'd probably have the clock have some int's at the class level and use those to make the text fields and such. Anyway --- this program is not (and never has been) about keeping accurate time.
Creating a new object once a second isn't a big deal.
If you depend on the Timer frequency to keep time, it
will eventually drift and be inaccurate. Getting the
system time each update will prevent that. You're
updating the view based on the model, then updating
the model based on the view's values, then updating
the model. It's a much cleaner design to separate
those parts clearly. Since this is for your own
education you ought to start using good design
patterns. I know they drift apart. That's not what I was interested in. And, afaik, "good design patterns" come with experience ... which is something that takes time to build and something that I am gaining. I'm not looking for a critique of my code here - I'm looking for a simple answer of why one approach worked properly and one didn't.
Can you be more desciptive than "behaving strangely"?
What's happening?Did you read my original post?
One approach -> change the int's first, then update the fields.
another approach -> change the fields first, then update the int's.
One worked, one didn't. -

Making a complex button with the Tween class...not sure why this isn't working.
Hi all,
I'm trying to make a button which scales up on rollover and
scales down on rollout and I wanted to use the Tween class to do it
because I'm going to be making a bunch of these buttons and I want
the code to be as efficient as possible.
So right now I have a circle in a movie clip, and here's what
I have on the first frame of that circle's actions layer:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function grow(who) {
var tw:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
function shrink(who) {
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
var tw4:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(rewind);
if (rewind == true) {
shrink(this);
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
grow(this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
The circle scales up just fine but when I rollout it doesn't
scale back down. I did a trace to see if my tween was being called
and sure enough it was. So I did another trace to see if the
_xscale or _yscale was changing and they both were going down to
around 290 on rollOut although there's no noticeable difference in
the size of the button, it just looks like it's sitting there.
I was also wondering if importing the whole class library
will add very much to my file size?
Also, since I'm going to have a lot of these buttons on the
stage at the same time (these buttons will be like markers all over
a map so there'll probably be around 50+) would it be a bad idea to
have that many onEnterFrame checks running simultaneously? Is that
going to slow the user's CPU way down?Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I tried your code and got the rollOut to work but the button
blinks rapidly if the user rolls out and then rolls back in
quickly. Here is a link to the swf:
http://www.stationarynotes.com/studioI/buttonTest.swf
It also has to reach a complete stop the first time the
button expands or else it won't run the shrink function on rollOut.
I put all of my code on the first frame of the movie clip's
actions layer so here's what mine looks like:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function grow(who) {
var tw:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
tw.onMotionFinished=function():Void{
who.onRollOut = function() {
shrink(who);
function shrink(who) {
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
var tw4:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
this.onRollOver = function() {
grow(this); -
Focus problems, not sure how to make focus work correctly
I have a number of dialog boxes and wizards, and just before I call show I request focus for the component I want to be displayed, but nothing happens. I think the show method it JDialog is setting the focus, and that this is the problem.
I want behavior to work as expected ie.focus to start at top left component and work its way down. Instead it seems to be giving fucos in the order the components were added, or soething like that. Does anyone know if this is indeed the case? I have many widgets which add components in the superclass, so this could cause me problems.
I do not want to create a focus manager, but if worse comes to worse, I will - this is a problem that is unacceptable to the client.
Any suggestions or comments?
btw I am using 1.3.1 and win2k for the OS.Hi,
addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
public void windowActivated(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
formWindowActivated(evt);
protected void formWindowActivated(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
// Add your handling code here:
getFocusFor(yourFirstComp );
private void getFocusFor(final JComponent comp ){
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
comp.setRequestFocusEnabled( true );
comp.requestFocus();

Lightroom 3 not sure which pictures are which in Library view/slideshow?
Well I've been trying out LR3 for the past week or so and have a nagging problem. Say I had an import yesterday from a birthday party, and one today from a football game. I'll import the football game pictures and then be in library mode, with the view showing all pictures. Down with all of the football pictures, every once in a while, randomly, some of the football thumbnails will switch to show birthday party pictures. And the same thing happens in slideshow mode...you'll be cruising along with football pictures, and out of the blue one will "flip" or switch to a birthday picture. This is driving me nuts and makes it difficult when you're all ready to work on a picture, when all of a sudden it flips over to a picture from another day. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I can't but I have seen this in Develop when using Crop. The image flip to something from a different location and back. Bizarre.
