Probably a really stupid question...

In an effort to clean out my ipod I have somehow deleted the recently added catagory. I really enjoyed that feature because it let me see which music I had downloaded last and let me listen to it all in a playlist without having to move the files anywhere.
Can someone please help me figure out how to get this feature back????

In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
Recently Added:
Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.

Probably a really Stupid Question - HELP!!!

I am brand new to Java, the kit, and everything inside it. After downloading and installing the software, I thought I would try some of the examples first before attempting to write one of my own applets. For this reference I went to: c:\j2sdk1.4.0\demo\applets\blink and clicked on the "example1.html" file and got the following error in Windows Explorer 7.0:
No JDK 1.3 support for APPLET!!
How do I get this support for my copy of IE 7??? Do I have to download something or is it a setting inside IE7??? THANKS to ANYONE out there that can give me some insight on this problem.

It must be some problem with the installation of jdk. Try to create that key in the registry.
In the run menu type "regedit". Go to the key specified in the error message and add the JavaHome subkez with the value:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0
Or look for the location of the "Java\j2re1.4.0" folder in your PC.
Also check to see if there is a subkey "UseJava2IExplorer" with the value "0x00000001 (1)", I mean value 1 hexadecimal.
Restart Windows and try again. If this does not work maybe you can try to reinstall JDK1.4

This is probably a really stupid question...

I moved recently and I was going to setup my router at the new place, I still have my discs and everything but I need to actually change some of the settings on the router. But I don't have any of the paperwork that came with it so I can't remember what the password to the router was, I never changed it so it should be the default so if someone could plz just tell me what the default password is that'd be great. I think there isn't a default username right, that part is just blank? So I guess i might need the default username and password.

To enter the router ui open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 (thats defualt) unless you changed it. If you cahanged it the click start>run then type in CMD then click ok. When the prompt opens up type in ipconfig /all <enter>. That should tell you the gateway IP which is your router in most cases. Then try that IP to enter the routers ui if its been changed. When you enter in the correct IP a window will open asking for a user and password. By defualt the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is admin. That should get you into the routers ui to reconfigure it for your new ISP.
Note: If this doesn't work due to a password you may have forgot then hard reset the router by pushing/holding the reset button for more then 30 seconds. Then enter the routers ui with the defualt settings.

A really stupid question from newbie...

hello all,
i am very new to java and i am trying to build a j2ee application...
rite now....i need to let my app communicate w/ an outside program thru' XML..
i had just learnt many thing about java w/ xml and i decided to use the XMLEncoder... it seems quite simple to use...BUT i have no idea on how to send/receive these XML files...i had thought of using socket connection, but i just found out that an EJB wouldn't allow socket networking... i bet this must be quite a stupid question coz i found nowhere teaching me this...=P
if u know about this, pls point me to some relevant docs / sites....i am anxious to learn about it...
thx so much,
karloogunna~

hello maesj, rune, and others,
thx alot for your advice...
and here's the environment i am working in:
OS: w2k
JDK: 1.4.1.01
j2ee: 1.3.1
jboss: 3.0.2
i am using flash as my UI, so i need communication
between the j2ee app and flash.
the data transfer involves a number of arrays of
objects (each object w/ a list of attributes...) so, i
think using XML as data-exchange is quite suitable (am
i wrong on this??)I don't know the first thing about Flash, but using XML as a means for exchanging data seams like a good idea, for the scenario you described.
>
and i am reading about the message-driven beans, i see
that they got a function onMessage() from where i can
get the XML strings (?), but i don't know how i can
feed these strings into this JMS from flash...do i
need to write a small java program on the client
side?I haven't that much experience with Message Driven Beans. What I do know is that they employ the Java Messaging Service (JMS). If you write a small client appplication with JMS support... you might be close.
>
also, i am not sure if i can send out XML strings
through the message-driven beans, i am reading on the
JMS...it got the MessageProducer, MessageConsumer,
MessageListener, and MessageSelector....should i be
using this? or can i use this together with the
message-driven beans??
In a Messaging system you will need message producers, and message consumers. To enable two-way communication, you can setup both the EJB and the client to handle both. When a message arrives at the consumer (or subscriber if you like), the JMS Service invokes the onMessage method. So you should implement your logic in the onMessage method, for example inspect the XML content, and act upon its content.
i am very sorry for my disorganized questions...(i
used to do low-level programming =P)
and really thank you for your advice!!!!
No problem, the amount of information to read can be quite overwhelming. Using JMS is just a suggestion, and might be considered overkill for your application. If you're using an IDE, like Sun ONE, creating a message driven bean is easy, and can be tried out, without too much hours passing.
Kind Regards,
Rune Bj�rnstad.

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!

I'm probably being really stupid here, but I don't want my itunes library on my PC to sync/match exactly with my ipod touch, as it's only an 8gb one and I haven't got room on it for everything in my itunes library. I want to simply move stuff on and off

I'm probably being really dumb, but I can't work out how to remove music/vids etc from my ipod but retain them in my itunes library on my PC . I haven't got room for everything on my 8gb ipod touch. I just want to put stuff on there when I want to watch/listen to it. If it get's full I want to just take it off but put it back on at a later date. My ipod touch is new - I had an older generation ipod before and didn't have a problem with this. Is it because I have signed up to icloud or something? If so, how can I change it?

You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

Possibly really stupid question.

What I've read about backing up itunes always refers to making sure that your purchased music doesn't get lost. There's a lot of other "stuff" in there also, things that weren't purchased...my own CD's, audiobooks, videos, etc`.
Here's the really dumb question: If I hook up my external hard drive and copy itunes to it, does everything I have get copied to the external drive...music, videos, whatever?

I know very little about the file structure on a Windows PC (Apple since 1984). On a Mac, which may be similar to Windows, I just select the *iTunes Music* folder, grab and drag it to the desired location on my external HD and let go. This creates an exact copy of the folder on my external drive.
As far as getting there (to your *iTunes Music* folder) I can be of little help.

Here's a really stupid question re servers.

I am a techie on individual computers with no experience on servers. The aim is to have a server for 5 computers with the following features- ALL files stored on the server, e-mail server, print sharing, remote access away from the office for both mail and files.
Now all of that is possible I know with apple and I can learn easy enough. What i don't understand is setting up the mail server.
I currently use "oneandone" where my 10 domains are held with about 15 pop3 e-mail accounts that go to individual computers (expensive business)
If I buy the apple os server, do I no longer need the mail services of "oneandone"?? I'm confused as to what the pop or smtp server names if they no longer host the mail..Also if it means you can set up unlimited e-mail accounts at your domain, how does the server know its your domain (i.e. can i not just set up [email protected])
Clearly thats a stupid question and very basic but I'm hunting for an answer!
Thanks so much.

Thanks. Tim. point taken and duly noted. On the mail-
so that means all i need to do is register the
domains and simply pay for the domain names on a
yearly basis. Then I ask the domain registration
company to point MX records to my server and thats
it? (of course..then I set up the server to host all
the mail..)?
That's it. If you use a cheap DIY registration company then you will get access to your own DNS records and so add the MX record yourself. You may want to consider a secondary MX record for when the main server is down - dyndns.org offer this type of service or maybe the domain registration company can offer it. The secondary server service just holds the mail until it can deliver it to the main server.
It's certainly worth spending a bit of time with a temporary server and a few test domains until you understand the server config and have tested everything out.

This is a really stupid question but...

I am a beginer with Motion and on one of my open projects my Utility Window has dissapeared. I've tried brigning it back by pressing command 1, F1, F2, F3, etc and bringing up all the different window layouts....
ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! I have no idea where it's gone or how to bring it back???

Well, it's not a stupid question, because you haven't posted it as a question... (It's just listed as a topic - you were given the option to mark it as a question when you originally posted it).

Probably a really dumb question...but so am I

Just bought a brand new iMac (specs below). Old one? Panther (3.10.9), 1 GHz, 2 RAM, 80 GB space)
Keeping the old iMac. A perfectly good machine. Only reason I bought a new one: kind of maxed out regarding my primary use of a computer...home music recording. Just needed more space, power, speed, etc.
Question: Before I call the phone company (our ISP: ATT), want your advice.
Can I just hook up two computers (both iMacs, one old, one new), on the same telephone line (a land line...this would be the only phone line coming into the house), and have them work? Or, would the ISP, the telephone company, charge us more for doing this? Meaning operating two computers on the same line simultaneously. (Forget about wireless here. Don't use it, not sure that I will anytime soon.)
Why couldn't I just plug in the other computer into a phone jack in another room in the house and have it work while the other one, in another room but using the same phone line, is running at the same time? Both simultaneously. (Sure, I'd need a modem for each machine going into the ethernet port.)
As I said, possibly a dumb question. On the other hand, I'm pretty dumb too.
Thoughts, advice, suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

It's probably connecting to a broadband modem (DSL or ADSL). That device allows you to get the high speed internet going on using the same phone jack in your house, and connects to the computer through an ethernet cable.
"Old school" or dial-up modems are traditionally built into the computer or plug into a USB port, and then use a normal phone cord (same thing other phones in the house use). Aside from being super slow, your line is usually busy and you're unable to make/receive calls when you're online.
I'm guessing you're connecting to a broadband modem (since you mentioned ethernet cable). With that in mind, the answer is yes, you can hook both those computers up so they can be online at the same time. What you need is what's called a router or switch, and they're not very expensive. One line connects to your broadband modem, then you have 3-4 jacks that you can plug additional computers in (so they can all use the connection at once).
If you want to have the machines in different rooms but don't want to run wires everywhere, look for a wi-fi router, which will usually give you a few jacks for connecting computers that don't have wi-fi but will also let you do a wireless internet hookup for your new iMac, the old one (if it has wi-fi), and even iPhones if you have 'em.
Apple has two products that might work for you. The Airport Extreme Base Station has super-fast wifi plus jacks for plugging computers in via ethernet, and even lets you share a printer. http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/ The Time Capsule does all that, and also has a built in hard drive (you can get with a 1TB or 2TB hard drive), which is great for using Time Machine. We've had a Time Capsule since they first came out and love it - super easy to set up, and all the backup stuff just happens without having to worry about it.
Hope that helps!

Really stupid question

I am looking at a machine with a database and developer tools installed and tested.
However there is a directory with 9iAs structure.
Question: How can I test to know if app. Server is installed?
Note:
This is a machine that is being recovered so I don't
know who did the installs.

A really really really stupid question

i just created a new iTunes library after deleting my old one and this is all fine, but when the window opened i can't resize it using the arrow in the bottom right corner as it is just too far down, even when i've scrolled down as far as possible. i know there must be a very simple solution to this, but me being the idiot i am, i can't work it out.
cheers

Hi there
Did you try clicking the green button out of the three in the top left corner of the window?
This usually snaps the screen size to the viewable screen area in a sort of expected manner,
although it behaves slightly differently in different apps.
Therefore - not a stupid Q

Probably a really dumb question

I do not have Apple TV but I think I need it. Question: Does Apple TV allow you to wirelessly use your connected TV as a monitor? For instance, while I am editing old pictures on my MacBook in iPhoto can I simultaneously display this on my tv so my wife can comment on dates, faces, places, etc of old pictures I am editing the metadata on?
Thanks
K

Unfortunately that isn't possible with the current software.

Probably a really dumb question, but how...

Hello everyone. I am new to Mac and Logic. I am doing a one-on-one tutorial with an Apple "genius" once a week to try and get up to speed on Logic, but I need to get something sorted out right now. I am producing a podcast for shortwave transmission and the file needs to be in mono. My question is, how do you set the export to mono? I see no options on the bounce menu to export in mono.
Thanks in advance
Message was edited by: king-catt

I'm not sitting in front of logic but I think the master fader has a button to change it from stereo to mono. When it is in stereo mode it has 2 interlocked circles. When in mono, it has 1 circle.

Probably a really dumb question, but...

How to I upgrade to the newest version of iTunes? For a while, whenever I would open iTunes a box would come up asking if I wanted to upgrade. I always said no, and now that I'm wanting to upgrade the box won't pop up. So can someone tell me where I can go to upgrade? And would you advise upgrading? I have heard some bad things about it but I'm really needing to get some music and with the whole music store being frozen, I pretty much will try anything to get it working again and I noticed that one of the options was to upgrade. Anyway, thanks for any help!

Apple.com, click on itunes and download the latest version. Simple as that.

Probably a really stupid question...
