Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (

Okay. Question for all those IT wirzards (& iTunes) experts out there. Anyone know why a playlist (Purchased) keeps dropping off my playlists in iTunes??l This has happened at least 15-20 times to me in the past couipe of years. Fofrtunately for me, I saved these songs to an external hard drive, so retrieval won't be so painful. Guess I just want to know how to avoid this going forward.

Just that one playlist goes missing and no other content? No idea. But it is clear you ought to have a backup so you can restore the database should it happen again.

First of all, uninstall it with the uninstaller.
Then:
Install the ENGLISH version.
Change the language in the CC app to Korean.
Install the Korean version. (DON't uninstall the English version)
Change back the langauge in the CC app to English.
When your OS is running in English, InDesign will run in English with Korean functionality added, if your OS is running in Korean it will take the Korean User Interface, so let your OS run in English.
Every installer language will add needed plugins for the work with that language. E.g. If I install Hebrew, I get RTL functionality in German version, only if I would change the OS language it would change the language of InDesign, InDesign takes always as UI language the language of the OS if available, if not (in your case you have uninstalled English before), it takes any version which is available in the order of languages specified in the OS.
If you need to run your program in a different language than the OS but you have installed it in the language of the OS it becomes more difficult. You would have to use some system tools which are able to force a program to open with a different language. Most of those tools are freeware.

For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
So what is different in Iphone5?
After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
I found a fix!!
On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

hi,
I have some questions for all of you.
1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
Oracle doesn't support their techologies
(Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
2. Oracle says that has just released a
new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
I do NOW with existing sources.
I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
please answer. Any comment welcomed...
maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
thanks

Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

Okay quick easy question for all who have successfully uploaded videos

hi, this is my first post in the Apple forums!
my quick question:
I have Quicktime Pro, and am currently exporting a video to the iPod
but it is taking an unusually long time...
is this normal (and by long I mean I'm @ 16% and it has been 5 minutes)
do I just need to be more patient?
thanks
^_^

don't say that...
I successfully uploaded videos to my iPod I just was not doing it right
my question has been answered already so STOP BRINGING IT UP AGAIN
also, look... many people just got their iPods today and are kinda anxious to see the video capibilities work on them, so If you do not have anything constructive to say (by calling us n00bs), then I suggest you don't say anything at all

Question for all programmers who use Xcode

Hi,
What style of indenting do you use?
1)<pre>
int myFunc(int num){
//some code
}</pre>
2)<pre>
int myFunc(int num)
//some code
}</pre>
I uses style 2, but I cannot get Xcode 2.4 to properly indent nested braces. Here is an example:
<pre>
class Test
public:
Test()
int x = 0;
while(x < 10)
{ <font color="2200cc"><------- should be moved to the left</font></pre>
Can anyone get that to indent properly in Xcode?

So, for instance, the
character sequence 'f' can be used to insert a for
loop in your code. It's amazing how fast it is to
write code with that feature.
Textmate has that. Make sure you have the proper language selected at the bottom of the file window. If you have "C" selected, all you have to do is type "for", then hit the tab key and you'll get a "for" loop. And you can even tab from bit to bit to fill in the parameters you want. I've poked around with adding my own completions, too. It's a little non-obvious to me, but it might not be to someone else.
Also, Xcode has something similar, just look at "Insert Text Macro" in the "Edit" menu. You can assign key bindings to any of those. So, for example, I bound "option"-"f" to the "for" loop. If you haven't already discovered it, there's an easy way to move from parameter to parameter, just use the "control"-"/" key combo.
Also, just tonight, I discovered the free Completion Dictionary plugin. It's really easy to define your own text macros. One thing I found puzzling was the key binding to expand the macro. Completion Dictionary comes with a key bindings file, but I couldn't make it work, so I just added a key binding to the "Expand Macro" submenu. Works a charm.
Finally, as to your original question, about the indenting. Did you want the "{" to line up directly below the "while"? If so, Textmate does that for me:
<pre class="command">class Test
public:
Test()
int x=0;
while (x<10)
// something.
}</pre>But that's a language I never use (Java or C++?), so I'm not real sure about that.
Finally, I should put in a word for BBEdit. It's what I actually use most of the time for work, since I work on a web site all day long and I've been using it forever. It has a slick feature where you can build various kinds of macros using Perl or other scripting languages, which is great for creating really complex (or tedious) bits of code. But it doesn't have the same kind of autocompletion as Textmate or Xcode does.

For all those having issues with the 11.1.4.62 update

The issues encountered are vast... msvcr80.dll issues.. Apple Mobile Device failed to start... and on and on... Never understand how a simple update can completely screw up everything and make iTunes unusable.
Go into Programs and Features and ANYTHING that says "Apple" with something after it, uninstall it.
Reboot
Download a fresh copy on iTunes
Right click on iTunes64Setup.exe left click on Run as Administrator. Even if you're only use on your computer and it's an Administrator account do it.
Cross your fingers, throw some salt over your shoulder, say a prayer. If the install completes with no error measages you're done.
If you still get the msvcr80.dll error
Google How to use scannow Windows 'Whatever Version you're running'
This will check the integrity of your system files.
If everything checks out you need to replace the missing dll file
Use Google again for Missing msvcr80.dll
I had to put the dll back in Windows/System32/ for iTunes to install properly.

I am running the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
I too, encountered these problems when attempting to update.
I began the update from within iTunes. It got past the download phase, but during the installation phase, for the first time ever, I encoundeted an installation failure. It told me to try again, but if it failed, to download the standalone file and install it manually. Unfortunately, though, the (failed) installation still managed to have gotten far enough along so as to leave my machine in a state that I could no longer launch iTunes.
When I tried to launch, I received the missing MSVCR80.dll--just like others have reported. I tried to install this "missing" file by downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (I forget which one, as there are several flavors, but "SP1" and "MFC" were part of the descriptive name from the Microsoft Download Center). DO NOT, under any circumstances, TRY TO OBTAIN THIS MISSING FILE FROM ONE OF THOSE WEB SITES OFFERING THIS (or other) FILE(s). Most if not all of these sites, are likely malicious in nature.
At-any-rate, while I ran the installation of the vcredist_x86.exe file, I briefly saw some form of positive progress, I never seemed to get a definitive completion (i.e., nothing told me the install completed successfully). Nor did I see any error message. I also tried a .NET Framework 4.0 repair as this suggestion was also offered elsewhere on the Apple iTunes Forum. Unfortunately, neither of those suggestions solved my problems, as I still continued to receive the missing MSVCR80.dll message, and iTunes would not launch.
I then followed the directions found elsewhere in this thread by uninstalling the Apple applications (in the order listed), rebooted (and for good measure) I also ran ccleaner after the system came back up), and tried the install again using the iTunesSetup.exe file (RunAs Administrator option).
During this attempt, now I received a DIFFERENT error message: Specifically, the Apple Mobile Device service could not be started. Attempting to start it manually from the Services panel, wouldn't work, either. I told the install to "Ignore" this error, and even the installation made it to the end and stated the installation was successful, it definitely was not.
The Apple Mobile Device error encountered during installation mentioned ensuring there were sufficient permissions. As the installation was performed using the RunAs option, this should have used Administrator permissions. Still no dice, however. So I completely uninstalled everything again (in the order specified). Rebooted. This time, I also manually removed directories left behind in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple directory.
I kept any plugins that existed, but dumped all of the *.resources files I could find. They all had today's date on the file directories, so I knew they'd been "touched" by the various installation efforts--and who knew whether something left behind might be causing issues. I blew these away since it got left behind by the uninstall operation (a major annoyance these applications don't do a better job of cleaning up after themselves when "removed").
Did the same sort of thing in C:\Program Files\iTunes. I also Re-ran ccleaner (again), and rebooted one more time, as there was still some reference in Registry to APSDAEMON.exe, which, now, no longer existed, but was still trying to be started via the entry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Found the entry and simply deleted it, which kept me from getting that paticular error at restart.
Last, but not least, I downloaded the FORMER version of iTunes from Filehippo, since they keep all of the previous versions. Apple might do that, too, but I didn't know for sure, nor did I know where to find it, whereas, I knew exactly where to get this from Filehippo....
Right, wrong or indifferent--that's what I did. I know some might not recommend obtaining a file from a source other than the company creating the application--especially since this seems to fly in the face of my own recommendation about sites that offer missing files. While similar, it's not quite the same, and I've had good success with Filehippo. A risk I was willing to accept....
I ran the installation file for 11.1.3.8, and voila: iTunes (the former version not the ill-fated new one) was reinstalled (no error messages during installation); best of all, no missing MSCVR80.dll file upon application launch.
While others seem to have gotten success by removing the apps and reinstalling, I, on the other hand, did not.
Therefore, I will now sit tight at my current version level until Apple better addresses this issue, which, is definitely tied to the new update, as the former version works just fine.
I share this, just in case others, like myself, followed the directions and still had the problem. At least, by visiting Filehippo, one can garner the previous version, and in so doing, re-establish a working version of the application. If Apple provides former versions for download, then, by all means, obtain the file from them. My method was more expedient at the time.
Shared for whatever it is worth.
Good luck to folks who experience this issue.... Hope you either get the matter solved, or you, at least, get back to a version that worked before your parade got rained on....

So what do you do when you import - a questions for all??

So far I have not had them time to dive into LR 1.1 as I would like to.
Although lately that time has been free'ing up. While I currently do use LR
to import and tag my photos, I have not tried much else except the album
part, but even that has been minimal. I shot mostly in jpeg, but some raw as
well. So my questions to you all, other than just importing as I do, what
else do you do? I mean, do you do auto adjustments as you import? Sometimes,
when I import, I will have 200-600 photos. I know I do not want all of them
and will delete some. And then some, I think I will want to eventually move
into collections to create a digital portfolio of sorts. I know LR is just
in it's beginning stages, but still presents a lot of power.
Secondly to this, do many of you use LR in conjunction with Bridge and PS
CS3 and if so, how do you bring it all together?
I know this could warrant some exhaustive answers, but I think it could be
fun to see what all we do and whatnot and maybe get some ideas from one
another. So let's hear from you!?!?

I don't use any develop preset. I do apply a metadata preset with basic contact and copyright. It also applies a purple label (the only label with no shortcut) which means Rate and Add Metadata. I apply the same keywords as Robert and any others that apply to all photos. I apply the lens and camera tags because folks on flickr appreciate it. Different cameras write lens identity differently so a lens tag is actually easier to use than the MB. After import I'll apply a metadata template for location.
Further use of labels:
none - keep but don't work on further
Red - process
Green - Raw/DNG done
Yellow - full size derivative
Blue - reduced size for web
CR2/CRW files that I process are also flagged as Pick. I export/import a DNG of these to serve as a local backup. The DNG's are not flagged. This allows me see just what I want very easily. I have CR2/CRW files and DNG of the keepers so that I have the native files in case I decide to develop with something that doesn't handle DNG and the DNG's for the possibility that the native Canon files will become obsolete.

Question for ALL*MYTEE

Hello, in your post re: Halo vs. Ensemble, you mentioned a work-around for logic control surfaces. I've tried the bit where I turn on the Ensemble after the controllers are recognized, but the controllers, though recognized, still exhibit buggy behaviors like one surface mirrorring the other etc. Is there something more to the work-around that I am missing? Thanks.

I graduated from university with a degree in graphic design and while i feel that you don't always need to be 'artistic' to succeed in this area... it does help.
There will be those who work in design who can't draw and do better than those who can. With skills in writing you may find yourself gravitating towards the 'copy writing side of design and advertising. It's is an important skill to have, as, along side the creative element you also need to be able to put words on paper to make those scribbles 'work'
I personally work in illustration, T shirt design and print... i welcome all areas of design and art equally... but really gte off on doing what makes me happy...I've experienced the 'corporate' side of design.. and it opened my eyes up to what i want from my life... as for me, i live and love the thing..
IMHO... you can't take tests to work out where you will fit in best.. what career with suit you.. you have to try new things, meld and mould your way into tight spaces.. hard times and even tighter deadlines... as ultimately... working in design is never predictable..

Question for ALL Bootcamp Pros....

Ok so i am currently on a PC (and have officially decided that I hate PCs) and I want to switch over to the New Macbook Pro-15". See I have a rather advanced question about the Bootcamp program (cause i understand it's basic premiss). I was wondering, is it possible to use a Thumb Drive (like a 60GB USB Drive... and yes I do have one) as my hard drive partition instead of actually partitioning my hard drive on my new Mac. The reason why I am asking this is because I use up a lot of hard drive space (quickly) and I don't want to have to worry about using up my New Mac's hard drive.
So yes, my question is: Can I set up Bootcamp to use a 60GB USB Drive as my hard drive partition for Windows XP on my Mac? In addition, if I were to do this would anyone know how I would go about doing it?
Thanks for the help!

Why do you need Bootcamp at all. I'm not a gamer, and if I were, I'd find Mac versions, or a new game
Parallels 4 will let you boot XP from any drive you choose to move the Virtual Drive folder to. You can even store multiple copies of XP or run XP and Vista at the same time, with MacOS. Get plenty of ram for this...
Backing up Windows becomes so simple. Zip the folder and copy the file to a backup drive. Hose up your XP? Just delete the folder and move an uncompressed copy back to the right location. XP just runs again. No mixed partition drive, and the problems people have when they screw up removing the Windows partition.
Exclude the XP folder from Time Machine, and when working with XP save documents to the 'Shared' folder that Parallels creates (that isn't excluded from Time Machine) for hourly backups of your files.
If you trash XP on a Bootcamp partition, you are stuck with the same format and reinstallation of everything that you are trying to leave.

Easy question for all you ActionScript wizzkids!

I have created the following Actionscript to control a 'Next
Question' button. The idea is that it will choose a random frame to
link to in the current scene (Part2).
nextQ_btn.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("Part2", n);
n = Math.random()*1+3;
At the moment, when I click the 'Next Question' button,
nothing happens. What's up with my script? My programming knowledge
is very limited and this is just about all that it can manage!
The button works when I take out the n variable and put in a
frame number manually.

monkee,
There appear to be two issues with your code:
1. you're calling n before you have defined it
2. you need to generate a random whole number and the random
number generator will have decimals
The solution is
1. call for n after you define it
2. use a rounding action to make the random number a whole
number
So:
nextQ_btn.onRelease = function (){
// generate a rounded random number between 0 and 4
n = Math.round(Math.random() * 4);
trace (n)
// go to the random number +1, making the range 1-5
gotoAndStop(n+1);
As you may already know, the trace action helps solve these
types of issues by letting you know the value of n if it is
defined... when you test movie, the results of the trace statement
show n has a value in the output window. In your original code, it
would show undefined.
Hope this helps. One other thing you may face is figuring out
a way not to ask the same question twice. You probably will want to
use an array of eligible questions before long.

Question for all you vets of iweb

i am wondering- with all the probs with iweb which yes, most are fixable, albeit with a lot of hassle and/or html knowledge, why would you not use one of the other programs listed elsewhere on the forums--like rapidweaver, softpress, etc?
it seems that they are all multi-os/browser compatible and the designs/templates look as good and easy to use as iweb. Or is this not correct?
Just wondering if any of you use them and why you choose Iweb instead?
thx
jim

2 questions for all the iTunes PROS out there

I currently have the latest itunes software. I have recently formatted my pc, and need to add all my songs back into the itunes library. I have over 7000 songs all in the general folder
"Music". I do to File->Add folder to library->Then select that folder. It works for a bit scanning though files asks me to convert some, then it just crashes..... It would take me soooo long to do this folder by folder, does any1 know what is going on?
Since i have formatted my pc, when i plug my ipod in it says that it has been synced up to another itunes would i like to delete it all, any way around this? Or maybe can i somehow sync my ipod to my itunes, thus fixing the problem in my first question?
Thx soo much for any help

"Since i have formatted my pc, when i plug my ipod in it says that it has been synced up to another itunes would i like to delete it all, any way around this?"
When your iPod is set to update automatically you just need take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. When you get the message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
"Or maybe can i somehow sync my ipod to my itunes, thus fixing the problem in my first question?"
If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos and photos as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only

PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

For All Those Who Miss The Old Layout After Upgrad...

So yeah, I feel your pain but I've found a kind of workaround that will give you some of the missing layout features you miss from the previous versions of Skype, including the compact view and opening chats in new windows.
To do so, follow these steps.
Log into Skype, (obviously).
On the page that appears click VIEW.
Then click on SPLIT WINDOW.
Then close the second window that appears.
Please be sure to tell anyone you know about this topic and to reply to keep others aware of the workaround.
It should also be noted that you'll still be running 6.21 or 6.22, so any changes to the client itself will still be in effect and some of the minor cosmetic changes, (such as borders and colour schemed), will still be present too, but fundamentally it will look and work like previous versions.
Admin's: please feel free to pin this topic if a great deal of people find it helpful, I definately think that others would be happy with this help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's also a really useful blog article that summarizes how you can tweak the new layout: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/11/13/getting-to-grips-with-the-2014-skype-layout/

I just upgraded to version 6.22.0.107. My chat window for IMs now has blue text on a lighter blue background. Now some of us are old and decrepit and find this difficult to see. Is there a way to change the chat area text back to black on a white background?
Currently there's no option to deactivate the blue chat bubble background, but we've heard the feedback from quite a few users and are looking into how we can improve the readability.
