Pulling my ibook out of the closet :o)
Long Story Short:
I bought this ibook in 2001/2002: serial # UV149xxx. I wasn't ready for the Mac experiance and it has been sitting in the closte untouched. I purchased an Airport card to surf WiFi and it works no problem. All I REALLY want it to do is have it recognize my ipod (2008 ).. but all it has is iTunes 2 - it won't take the apple iTunes7.7 currently at the apple store... any feedback ?
thanks !
You will need at least OS X Tiger 10.4.x to be able to use the latest version of iTunes.
Also to note: these iBooks only have USB 1.1 - which means your iPod will only sync very s l o w l y, so you might consider just upgrading your hardware to something else that has the newer USB 2.0 - then your iPod will be even happier!

Pulling a program out of the IDE
I have been playing with pulling small progrograms out of my Integrated development environment (IDE); writing them to CD; and installing them on other desktops, just as an exercise in the case I want to deliver some applications to a friend.
The overall requirements(steps) are not clear to me.
1.the directory organization
2. the file (jar) creation
3. the D0S (java.exe) window
Are some of the issue that come to mind.
I have been able to use a desktop icon and set the path to a program.class file and run it--making the program window appear but the java.exe Dos window also appears.
So far, the number of texts I have give no step by step instructions on how to configure an environment without an IDE with the java VM already intalled, or how to pull a program out of the IDE and install it along with a copy of the VM on another machine.Good question. Lot's of people don't know this, and I can't even say I have all the right answers. There are probably numerous ways you could do this. The best way, if you have the money, is to buy something like InstallAnywhere or Wise that provide professional installations. Not only will your install look like professional installation of stuff like Photoshop, etc but it will also handle issues like OS platform specifics, environment variables, registry entires (if possible), the proper JRE/JDK installed... if not install it, uninstallation features, and so forth. That is by far the best way to go.
However, often you just want to bundle something up and send it out to a few friends, family, etc. You could of course look for an open source or freeware utitlity and no doubt there are some out there. Or, you could do what a lot of people do now, use the Ant tool (written in Java) and have a build script that does everything for you. I have a simple template build script that is used for various tasks. In our work setup, it does local dev (incremental) compiles, and if necessary packaging it up into .jar/.zip files. My single build script can also run junit tests and reports, builds executable packages into .zip and .jar's as necessary, will do a clean build (great for making sure any code changes don't break some code elsewhere, thus ensuring that your normal incremental build process is not missing something), it can FTP or copy files to locations, it can email results, and so forth. If you don't know about ant, I STRONGLY suggest you learn it quickly, and to me there is no better way than buy the book Java Development with Ant. Two of the main Ant developers/committers wrote the book and it does an excellent job of teaching you about all the different uses of Ant, including the template build script I now use. It is well worth the $40 or so you'll find the book for, and within a week you'll have a good build template that you can modify for specific projects.
Now, in terms of the 3 things, well, the directory organization is always changing. Each project may have something different, but here is one that I usually use:
<root project dir>: (below this you'll find)
/src - location of all src files
/src/java - the location of the project specific java code
/src/examples - if need be (especially useful for frameworks and API's you wish to share) show example applications using the output of the /src/java code
/src/test - location of JUnit, jfcUnit and other test files to unit test your code (very important, should be done no matter what!!)
/lib - location of any 3rd party libraries you need, both for compilation and runtime. Keep in mind that your build script may pull only a subset of these libraries in for runtime. For example, the /src/test that uses JUnit will require the junit.jar file. You won't need this for runtime, so your build script sets up a compile classpath with junit.jar, and a runtime classpath that will exclude junit.jar, perhaps others.
/dist - the location that the build script puts all distributable files. This would be any executable .jar file, any .zip file, perhaps other files necessary for distribution. If you were making a large application and planned to burn it to disk, instead of a single .zip file, you may actually build the sub-dirs below the /dist/<your app> type of dir, so that you can simply burn from that <your app> dir to the root of the cd.
/build - location of all compiled classes, including from /src/java, /src/examples, /src/test.
/build/classes - the location of compiled java code
/build/test - the location of test results, including perhaps test data to be used by the test code, and possibly the output dir of test reports
- /build/test/reports for example for output of test reports.
/doc - location of any documentation, including the JavaDoc produced by the build script from your src.
<project root> - this is the location of your build.xml ant build script, if need be. The build script, as you would learn in the book, is set up so that you can move it anywhere and it will still build your project correctly. You may opt to put it in the /scripts dir instead and keep the project root super clean.
/misc or /etc - common location to put things like properties files, misc files used to build projects. For example, in the building of a EJB application (.jar or .ear file), you will no doubt need the META-INF/application.xml file. Or in a .jar file you need a special META-INF/manifest.mf file. The /misc or /etc dir is a good candidate for these types of things. You can even package it up in your app so that in the .jar file you have /etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties, and in your code do a simple getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/etc/properties/somepropertyfile.properties") to always ensure you pull it from this directory. OR, your build script can "change" the location this file goes. It is all up to you.
That is what I use for all my projects, the dir structure anyway. What you do to build your .jar/.zip files is up to you. You usually don't need to pull the /src dir, the /dist dir, etc into your .jar/.zip files. Normally you'll have the compiled classes at the root. So in your project dir on your disk, you may have <project root>/build/classes/java/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and in your .jar file it would simply be <root of .jar file>/org/mycompany/ui/Main.class, and your build file can easily "change" the root path (using <zipfileset prefix=""> task) to change the path of any file. But more of that can be learned in that book and by looking up resources on the net. The Ant JavaDoc API is very good at explaining most of these as well, and there are TONS of ant scripts in most projects to look at for examples.
The file creation, well, as I said Ant has built in tasks you can use to create .jar files, .zip files, etc. All of that is all built in to how Ant works.
As for java.exe, well, in a professional app, you usually do one of two things. You either write a simple C/C++/Delphi/some other languages .exe wrapper (for windows) that internall executes the java.exe and runs the JVM to hide the window, as well as provide a .exe file to look more "native", or you run javaw.exe, which hides the Console output window for most apps. NOTE: if you create a .bat shortcut on your desktop to javaw.exe, you will STILL get a console window that shows up. ALL shortcuts to .bat files will always create a console window. Many java developers don't understand why they run javaw.exe from a shortcut on their desktop and still see the console window.
Now, hopefully that helped a bit. But if not, or you still have questions, I am watching this thread so fire away and I'll help more. -
Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Do other sounds work?
Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them? -
In AS3 how can you detect if someone pulls their camera out of the USB port?
In AS3 if the SWF gets a hold of someone's camera successfully and they start streaming video across and everything, but then mid-stream, either they accidentally wiggle their camera out of the USB port, or the camera just sort of breaks down, or something else like that, how could you detect it from that user's side? I've tried using event listeners and also polling different variables every five seconds, but neither has worked; none of the public properties of Camera or its events seem to act funny at all when something like that happens. And apparently you can't just keep scanning the computer for devices (for good reason, I guess).
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to detect from a user's copy of a SWF (FP or AIR, but much more importantly FP) when their camera has effectively stopped as the result of something going wrong, such as them wiggling it out of the computer by mistake? If so how? Thanks!Run your code and disconnect your camera. What are the common properties of it? Does your stream stop? Return only a specific color frame? Those things are usable to detect it but you're right in saying you can't detect much more than a loss of packets from a NetStream object.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/
Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJlol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,

I have an iPad 1. I filled out a PDF questionaire in adobe reader. When I send it to Dropbox, iBooks,mercury browser the form shows up without the answers . My objective is to email the completed form. Please advise as to how to do thisThanks.
Big JakeIf the PDF is a form fillable PDF, which I assume that it is, email it to yourself or send it to DropBox and open it on your computer. You should see the fields filled in there. It works for me if I do it that way.
Adobe Reader supports it, but the other apps don't. I assume that if you email the PDF to a computer user it would be readable in Adode Reader. -

HT5654 How do i pull my phone out of recovery mode if itunes will not load the iPhone support check?
I need someones help and can tell me the reason why my itunes is flashing error 23 when I go to pull my phone out of recovery mode
Hi there SarahM426,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

'Hide Skype' greyed out on the File pull down menu
Why is 'Hide Skype' gryed out in the File pull-dwon menu. I can only hide by clicking on the S in the dock.
Clearing History will empty the cache now but it will also clear your favicons. You can clear cache only by going to Safari>Preferences > Advanced and select Show develop menu in the menu bar. There is an option to clear caches from there.

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.
I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network. So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple. The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router? However its not connecting?? I am doing something wrong?
Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time. -

I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.

Is there a way to find all highlights made in the MacBook iBooks library in the case that you cant remember the book in which the highlight was made?
Some things that might help:
1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
- Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
- Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
- Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
Hope some of that helps
