Okay newbie question here.

I am about to start pulling my hair out. I have my new mac here, my new copy of logic express 7 , my new m-audio keyboard and a whole lot of music in my head ready to go on the screen. My problem is i have read and read through the manual (reads like an alien wrote it). I have done my searches on this site also for all my answers and no help either, spent 2 days trying to figure this out, this is my last resort. I have used garage band now and everyhting is so simple to use plug in and go. In logic obivously its not. The computer sees the keyboard but no sound is heard. Im not that great at this yet so can anyone help me. I have gone and ordered the logic training books but they wont be here for a while and would like to start doin something with all this equipment. I need a pretty simple explanation of what i am doin wrong or right. i have tried everything. thank you for all your help .

No sound coming out. This could be one of 2 things.
1. midi data in the Arrange/matrix edit window is not going to a software instrument. You will need to insert an instrument on the channel strip. Try opening a garage band file, one that works in GB. Do you get sound now? You should because the GB file will open the appropriate software instruments to get the same sounds as you had in GB. If not then
2. Under the Audio menu you need to select your hardware drivers. This is basically the same as in Audi/Midi setup, but if you have something wrong here the sound won't go to your sound card. In essense, Logic can send to an output other than the ones set up in Audio/MIDI setup, so you need to make sure Logic is sending it where you want it to go.

Newbie question here re: character styles

Greetings,
I am a newbie with regards to InDesign, so bear with me.
I know that I can create styles in the usual way, but can I also create a style by using an existing piece of text and saving it's attributes?
Thank you very much.

Yes. Just click in the formatted text and create the style.

Newbie question here on Time Capsule

Hello Everyone
I searched the forum for this, but I couldn't find it so I will ask it here. I recently started thinking of getting a time capsule for my iMac. But here is my question. From what I understand it is a router as well. I already have a router (NetGear WNR834B v2) connected to my broadband. Is it possible to just have the time capsule connect to my current wireless network? Or would I be forced to trash my current router and just use the Capsule? I am not looking to extend the range of my wireless router, the time capsule will be in the same room as my router at any rate, I just dont want to have to run wires all over my room! Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy

Hello holepunch. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
i have a pc & a mac, the pc has the modem & router hooked up to it & my mac picks it up wirelessly. i have bought a time capsule and am wondering, does it replace my existing router? or do i hook it up to the router and then to the pc?
You actually have several options and will really depend on what you are trying to accomplish with your network. I assume that your PC is wired-only and the iMac can either be wired or wireless ... correct? Will both computers be in the same location? Is the current modem & router co-located with the computers?
What would you like the Time Capsule (TC) to do? Just provide a destination for Time Machine backups? ... or you would like to use it as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device? ... or both?
Since your post is similar but different than the OP's, I suggest that you start a new post and describe your current network with greater details, like the make/model of all of your network devices, and what you will like to do with the TC. Thanks!

Newb Question here! What is SAP?

Is SAP a set of development Tools? like Oracle APEX or GT although not limited to the oracle Database technologies ?
I have been looking about and find it very difficult to find a section for people wanting to find out about what SAP is.
Many thanks
David

Welcome David. You've just had the benefit of getting a very good answer to an exceedingly broad and difficult question from one of the most ardent and active members of our community, Blag, so you are in good hands although you probably wouldn't know that if you are totally new here.
On the website http://www.sap.com you would find an introduction to SAP the company, its history, and its products. There you can read the more explanatory and historical and company side of "what is SAP" found, for example: [here|http://www.sap.com/about/company/history.epx].
But to distinguish that flavor of "What is SAP", from what you might expect here is perhaps less simple to point you to. You have come to the website of the SAP Community Network, (the SAP Developer Network(SDN) and Business Process Expert Community(BPX)), which represents the community side of SAP, its customers, users, developers, partners, business process professionals, employee contributors. It's a social and learning framework. That's the people side of the equation. People using tools and products and sharing knowledge about these inter-enterprise business solutions. And in the coffee corner, which is this forum you have posted to just now, you will also find folks sometimes just chatting about the state of the industry or the quality of the conversation. To understand what that means, you are invited to stick around, visit forums, search for content, listen, ask. Welcome David to SDN and BPX.

Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

Hello all!
I'm sure this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but,
how do you define the page dimensions in CS3?
I have found the thing at the bottom of the page, with the
drop down menu, but this does not seem to lock the size.
I just want my pages to be veiwable in 800x600 and whenever i
check it on the web my background comes up as a series of tiles.
!!!Please help!!!
Thanks very much guys and girls for looking and any help will
be much appreciated!!

> I'm sure this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous,

You don't. You build your page so that no contiguous adjacent
content on it
is wider than the smallest browser viewport width you want to
support
without dropping horizontal scrollbars. And, you don't worry
about height
at all. The shape of the contents determins height.
> I have found the thing at the bottom of the page, with
the drop down menu,
> but
> this does not seem to lock the size.
That's correct. It only adjusts the size of your document
viewport to the
selected values so that you can see how your page fits in
those dimensions.
I rarely use it (actually, never).
> I just want my pages to be veiwable in 800x600 and
whenever i check it on
> the
> web my background comes up as a series of tiles.
Well, no, you want your page to be seen in an 800px wide
browser viewport
without a horizontal scrollbar. Actually you would want to
make the page
about 760px wide to fit on a maximized browser window on an
800x600 screen.
> and whenever i check it on the
> web my background comes up as a series of tiles.
Of course - that's how backgrounds work. They tile to fill
the available
space. If you do not want them to tile, then you have to tell
the browser
not to do that. The best way is to use CSS and the
'background-repeat'
style, e.g.,
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
(this will prevent any background image applied to the body
tag from
repeating (or 'tiling').
> !!!Please help!!!
Get a good (or even a mediocre) book on HTML and CSS and
spend some time
with it. DW will be ever so much easier after doing that.

Newbie question about saving files

Hi all,
A newbie question here, and maybe it is a dumb question, but I can't get my head around this and sofar found no answer in the forums here.
When I save a file on my macbook, I can only save it to "top" folders.
What I mean is I try to save a file for instance to documents/worddocs/lyrics just to say something, then I have to save the file first to documents, and the move it to the lyrics folder via finder or move it to :worddocs folder and then move it again to the lyrics folder. Hope you still get my drift here
Is there a way to just save it to the subfolders without going through all this moving around?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Peter

When you click File>Save As, you will see the Save As window pop up. At the top, you will see a box entitled Save As, which has a space for your to enter the file name. To the right of this box is an arrow pointing down. Click it. The full file hierarchy will be seen. Then you can save directly to the file you want.
Hope this helps.

Newbie question: ""dynamic"" casting

Hello all,
 
I have a quite newbie question. I have this class hierarcy:
 
A
|_A1
|_A2
|_A3
|_A4
|_A5
|_.....
 
in some part of my code I have this:
 
if (object1 instanceof A){
if (object1 instanceof A1) {A1 object2 = (A1) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A2) {A2 object2 = (A2) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A3) {A3 object2 = (A3) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A4) {A4 object2 = (A4) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A5) {A5 object2 = (A5) e;}
object2.callMethod();
 
Is there any way to do this type of casting just in one line? I mean, I just want to cast object1 to the class it is instanceof. If it is instance of A1, I want to be casted to A1, if it is A2 to A2, etc...
 
Thanks you in advance.

kamikaze04 wrote:
In fact I know what object1 is on execution time,Which doesn't help your compiler at all, when it's task to link and verify method calls.
because the code posted at the top is working well, i just want to avoid repeating that if's for all the new classes Ax I will create. Big "code smell" here.
In other words if i had from A1 to A200 i dont want to have 200 if's to cast it to the class it is and then execute it's method.You could call the method "doMagic()" and make it abstract in A. Then you can implement it in all Ax classes and would never have to worry about casting in the first place, because A.doMagic() would automagically do the right thing. Polymorphism.

What are the steps involved I'm sure it's pretty simple plug the power cable in and connect the ethernet cable but then what. Thanks for your help all that reply

Depends on how you want to setup your future wireless network. Just follow the TC Setup Guide. If there is a problem during setup, repost.

How do I start fluxbox? I couldn't even find it, so I su to root, type fluxbox, and get

A typical newbie question, but I don't know how to start fluxbox. I think I want to

The only thing I uncommented was" exec fluxbox". I'm still getting kde at start up.
I have kdm listed in a start up daemon in rc.conf. is this the problem?
thanks for the reply -- Larry
if you comment out exec wmaker and then put a ! in front of the kdm daemon you should boot to a console at which point you login then type startx. you may also have to change your init level but i dunno i haven't used a graphical login manager for a very long time.

Newbie question. coldFusion w/ Flex 2 tutorial

Hello.
I am very new to F2 and CF. Fairly proficient at Flash, DW,
css, html, etc. I have purchased and worked through a couple really
great F2 and CF books. I am able to construct some good basic stuff
with either. But am not really finding a tutorial or book that is
exclusively committed just to the subject of to using CF with Flex
2. There always seems to be a just a cursory mention, or a
brush-by, but not much more than that. I get it: if you got this
far, you probably arlready know everything about the two and
shouldn't need such.
If you could point me to a couple good references, I'd be
very appreciative. I'm looking for a good step-by-step, just on
this subject.

Thank you. You are right on with the direction of your
answer.
Immediately, I am just trying to create a simple method of
add/edit/delete records to tables from forms that I could access
remotely with Flex 2. I just assumed that CF would be the best
method, both being Macradobe products. If I am wrong about that, so
be it. Utlimately, I would like to print specific "quotes" relative
to specific customers and products to .pdf. This is for my own
personal use (as an insurance broker). Not commercial. Nor is
anyone paying me to develop this.
Maybe a better newbie question would be: what would be the
preferred method to add/edit/delete records, remotely, from a Flex
2 application for later printing to .pdf based on various selection
criteria? I have figured out how to do this on my own stand-alone
machine. Now I want to be able to do it remotely from anywhere.
I'm
not looking for instruction from anyone here, just direction
to your favorite learning tools so that I can dig in and learn.
I bought the books you recommended (adding to my own Library
of Congress).
Thanks again!

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.

To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.

Buy License for single edition....newbie question

Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial
number)

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Okay newbie question here.
