Please help me get started with my new ipad

Hi all--merry Christmas!
So, I'm away from home and just got my new ipad! Of course I want to play with it, but am not sure how to start. My full itunes library is on my iMac at home (and this is what I use when I sync my iphone). I do have my MacBookPro with me, but I don't use the itunes program on it very much. It looks like I need to connect my new ipad to my itunes in order to start using it....what will happen if I connect it to my laptop here, just to get going, and then later when I home I connect it to my iMac where my "real" itunes and all my apps are?
Thanks for any info...I'm salivating to use it!!!

Congrats you will love it!
I don't see a problem with activating your iPad on your MBP. When you get home sync with iMac and set your iPad up as you like.
Have fun!

  • Please help me get started with Databases...

    I've spent all day moving from one tutorial to the other trying to figure out how to use a Database with Java. I haven't found anything that explained things basic enough for me to understand, however, I did download and install MDAC 2.8 which was suggested in on one of the sites and I also have MS Access to work with for creating the database. Can somebody please explain what I need to do in order to access a database from my program in simple, easy to follow, steps?
    Also I have a small question about .requestFocus();In my program I have a Radio button called Format1 and a text area called textArea. I set Format1 to be selected using the following code: Format1.setSelected(true); and I attempted to make the cursor start inside the text area with: textArea.requestFocus(); Currently, when I start the program, Format1 has the focus instead of textArea. How can I make the cursor start at the end of the text inside of textArea everytime I start my program?

  • Wish I could get started with my new iPad

    Ordered it on December 15th and am hearing it is still sitting in China! Nice 2 day shipping! My confidence is shot when it comes to Apple!

    Did the Holiday 2 day shipping. Talked to 4 customer service reps and all fed me crap about it being there in time for Christmas and still nothing. I was told look for it Friday, Monday, then Tuesday and then that it would be delievered today. The new shipping number is invalid, now there are 2 ipads on my receipt because they did a reorder on the first one.
    I am not a Mac person when it comes to laptops or desktops. I do however love my iphone, ipods (Classic, touch and Shuffle) and thought the iPad would be an awesome addition....guess not. Seriously? If they canot do two day shipping then they should take it off their website and stop telling people on the phone that they CAN make it happen. I know it is coming, but it is the priniple of the matter. Dont promise the customer something and then say oops...check tomorrow.

  • Having trouble getting started with my new shuffle

    I am having trouble getting started with my new shuffle. any help?

    Hey there Feisty59,
    It sounds like you have a new iPod Shuffle, and want to know how to start using it. Here is a great resource for understanding how to use your iPod, and how to set it up and get music synced to it from iTunes:
    iPod shuffle User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1550/en_US/iPod_shuffle_4thgen_User _Guide.pdf
    If you have a different model of iPod Shuffle, choose yours from the following page and use that guide instead:

  • Just updated all apple products how can I get back to the page on apple tv that helps me get started with mirroring

    Need to get back to home screen on apple tv to help get started with mirroring

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • Please help me get started... JSP

    Hey, I'm brand new to web development. But I'd like to get into the field. For various reasons, I would like to start with JSP dev. I'm a C++ programmer, so concepts of OOP are not foreign to me. However, I don't have any idea as to where to start.
    I have installed Forte 4.0 software, Apache-Tomcat software, Sun JDK1.3, and JRun 3.0. Now I'm stuck. Although I have set the CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, and TOMCAT_HOME roots, I cannot write, compile, debug, or execute JavaServer Pages.
    Thank you for your time in assisting me.

    Hi,
    For debugging
    =============
    It seems that JSP runtime errors are impossible to debug. The exception
    thrown is always in some compiled servlet code. For example
    java.sql.SQLException, java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
    java.lang.NullPointerException and java.lang.ClassCastException. Is it
    possible to debug runtime errors, other than printing multiple checkpoint
    statements, which is not an efficient method?
    SOLUTION:
    There are no hard and fast rules to do that. It is very dependent on
    your JSP engine. In general, you need to find where your .java files
    are. You need to tell your JSP engine to leave them around. By default
    most engines delete them after creating the .class file. It may get
    tricky, though. Some engines put your HTML text into some kind of data
    structure (an object dump, basically) so it is not stored in your .class
    file. This makes your class files much smaller, and the HTML is not
    stored on the VM's stack. This makes it very difficult to debug.
    One suggestion is to use Forte for Java to do debugging of JSP codes. It can be
    downloaded and purchased from http://www.sun.com/forte. The following is
    a short tutorial to demonstrate how to debug a JSP file, set breakpoints,
    and watch variable content values during runtime.
    1) Set the compiler property for your JSP.
    - Go to the Explorer window.
    - Select your JSP file.
    - Set the Servlet Compiler property to Internal Compilation.
    (Hint: Use the context-sensitive Properties window.)
    - Set the Debugger property to Servlet/JSPDebugging.
    2) Now you will debug the JSP file by setting breakpoints, watching
    variables, and switching between the JSP and corresponding servlet.
    Set the breakpoint in your JSP file.
    - Go to the Source Editor window.
    - Select a few lines to watch
    - Using the context-sensitive menu (right click), select Add/Remove
    Breakpoint. This line will turn red to indicate that there is a
    breakpoint for this line.
    3) View the breakpoints in the corresponding servlet for your JSP file.
    - Go the Explorer window.
    - Select your JSP file.
    - Using the context-sensitive menu, select View Servlet.
    You will see the corresponding servlet in the Source Editor window.
    At the bottom of the Sourde Editor window, you should see two tabs,
    one for JSP and another for the corresponding servlet.
    - Select the servlet's tab.
    - Using the context-sensitive menu, select Clone view.
    You should see a separate window with the servlet code and
    breakpoints. These breakpoints automatically came from the JSP
    file.
    - Place the JSP file and corresponding servlet window side by side so
    that you can simaltaneously view the execution of JSP as well as
    the servlet.
    4) Select some variables to watch during the execution.
    - Go the window containing the servlet's source code.
    - Using the context-sensitive menu, select Add Watch.
    - In the resulting dialog box, enter a variable name for the Watch
    Name.
    - Click on the OK button.
    - To view the watch variables, go to the Main menu and select View ->
    Debugger. At the bottom of the Debugger window you should see a
    tab named Watches.
    - Select the Watches tab.
    You should see the added variables.
    5) To start the debugging session, go the Main menu and select Debug ->
    Start Debugging.
    The execution will stop at the first breakpoint in the JSP file.
    If you see the servlet code, there are also execution will stop at
    the first breakpoint.
    - To continue the execution, go the JSP source code in the Source
    Editor window and press Control-F5 to restart the debugger.
    Execution will stop at the next breakpoint. In the servlet code,
    execution will also stop at the next breakpoint.
    - Go to the Debugger window and select the Watches tab to view the
    contents of the variables.
    6) If you set any breakpoints in the servlet code, those breakpoints
    will automatically appear in the JSP file.
    This way, you can set breakpoints in either JSP file or corresponding
    servlet.
    7) While executing the JSP, observe the contents of the variables in the
    Debugger window.
    8) Once execution has reached its end, close the debugger by going to
    the Main menu and selecting Debug -> Finish Debugging.

  • Help in getting started with java 3d

    Hi everyone,
    I am very new to java3d and I started learning it from few books and online tutorial.
    However, in my very first program that I trying to code, I get error when I try to import following:-
    import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.SimpleUniverse;
    The compilation error that I am getting is that "com.sun.j3d cannot be resolved". I have already installed java 3d. I can see java3d package in the Program Files/java directory.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    On the instalation you have to use the default location, or the location where your SDK is installed.
    Also, check if the CLASSPATH is defined correctly in your Environment Variables for JAVA_HOME and PATH.
    You can also try to define the Java 3D jar files in you classpath before you try to run your file. Or can also try to use an IDE like NetBeans or Eclipse, it will help you a lot with your import declarations.

  • Need help to get started with iMovie

    I have used the iMac for sometime but never created a movie. With my new iMac, I want to start using the iMovie '09. The first basic problem is that it will not accept any of my videos.
    I have videos made on a fairly new Cannon camera (*.movl), on a Flip recorder (*.avi). I thought the program would accept the *.mov but it will not. I have converted these videos to mpeg4, mp4, mov using ffmpegx, and mpeg streamclip, but they still will not be accepted by the iMovie program. I tried to drag and drop the videos without success, both with and without first creating a "New Project". What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    And here I find my movie sequences from my Leica D-Lux and vife Nikon D300s

  • Getting started with a new Integration project

    Good day all!
    I am just in the beginnings stage of a development project for an enhancement to the CRM OD system. This project is related to the Opportunity and Product Revenue (PR) objects.
    In a nutshell, here is what I need to do. We have a custom object called 'Competitor Pricing' (called CP from here on) which is a listing of all our primary competitors and associated pricing for related items. Due to the nature of our business, this CP is region specific, so indexing is on: competitor, product type and region.
    Our sales people will quote multiple items to a customer, some of which they will win, some they may not. I cannot just call an opportunity a Win or Loose because, for example, if there are 5 items on an opportunity and we win 3 of the 5, then the opportunity is a partial win.
    For the 2 that we did not win, if the customer purchased them from a competitor, we need to annotate that at the PR object level. This is the crux of my problem.
    From what I have read, there is no way to associate a custom object to a child object PR is a child object). If I can get this association to work, I can get the rest of my requirements completed. I just cannot determine how to get the CP associated to the PR. Can anyone help or give guidance?

    For most people, this would not be possible. But with integration, I think you might be able to get there. You can definitely store the associations in custom fields using integration. What you would not be able to do is use an OOTB link to navigate from the child object to the custom object. But, you should be able to create a weblink field that would link the user to the CP record, and either popup the information in a new window, or navigate the user to the CP object.
    The link would need need to be based on the row ID of the CP record, and you would have to use integration to populate the values, but since you are already talking about integration, this isn't significantly more complicated to complete.
    Good Luck and let me know how it goes for you. My email is in my profile.

  • How do I get started with my new Mac and and Iphone?

    I had my Iphone synced with a PC that literally burned up unexpectedly. I replaced it with a Mac and want to sync my phone, however, when I click to manage content manually, a message pops up telling me that my phone will be erased (!!). Because I have lots of music and apps on the phone, I don't want to go back to square one. What do I need to do to make the new computer work with my phone?

    "The help file seems to say that all the music I have ripped from CDs when my old PC was authorized can't be copied into Itunes."
    That is correct. the music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone will sync/manually manage with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync/manually mange with another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    "Another responder cited a help page which suggested that I should back up the phone to writable CDs (why the heck would I want to do that?)."
    I think you misunderstand. You backup your itunes library from your computer, not from the iphone.
    You simply move everything from the old computer, or the backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

  • Help on getting started with Spring MVC, WebFlow; Where can it be applied ?

    I'm an individual programmer, developer and I see a huge demand (at the corporate level) for the frameworks: Spring, Spring MVC, webflow, and Hibernate. Popular today: Spring MVC, webflow, GWT.
    I've been going through the tutorials, and the technology looks awesome ! What I would like to know, is.. It's used in corporate sites, why not for smaller sites. How can I apply these frameworks in building websites ?
    I can't imaging doing any kind of serious website building without a modern CMS or Portal framework (whether in Java/php-opensource), And yes, MVC gives you the validation and authentication hooks to be used.
    The spring framework, with it's extensive scope, is a bit overwhelming, and implies that there could be a significant amount of architecture, design and planning time needed before starting implementation on a project
    All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.
    If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.

    user1944443 wrote:

Unless you're using the frameworks to build a home page for your kittens. Then you usually don't need to put that much effort into it.
    All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.I'm sure you realize that they have to. There's no "follow these examples and you'll become a competent programmer" method of learning invented yet and frameworks usually need to document the basic cases extensively.
    If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.You'll just need to come up with a project you'll be interested in finishing or at least developing for a while.
    I'm not sure whether I managed to answer your question or not, but if anything was left unclear, just ask.
