Puzzled About New Options

According to iTunes Help, the latest update allows one to sort by the artist's last name instead of first. Yet it's description of how it's done sounds like the original way of manually typing, or cutting and pasting the information in the "Get Info" box. This is very laborious when you have hundreds of names to deal with. If I've misread this, can someone put me straight?
Also, what are the new options and sorting options about? For example: "Album by Artist" and the various "Sort by" options.

Thank you for that answer.
You're welcome.
Did you have to work it out yourself? I couldn't find this in iTunes Help.
This seems to be one of those instances where Apple doesn't always document new features that are introduced in iTunes upgrades.
As for how I found out about it, I wish I could say I worked it out myself but for the most part it's something I learnt in this thread . That's one of the side benefits of spending a fair bit of time on these boards - I have a lot of opportunities to learn things.
I imagine that this has to be done every time a CD is copied into iTunes.
I'm not sure. After you select the Apply Sort Field option for a given entry, I don't know whether or not iTunes will apply it to future additions of the same artist to your Library. If you want to check it out, be sure to let us know. Like I said before, that's how we learn things here.
Can you tell me what the "Album by Artist" column is for?
Its main use is when the you're viewing your entire Library. If you have a record with tracks by a number of different artists, the Album by Artist sort will keep that album together unlike an Artist sort which will break it up ... unless of course you've set up the Apply Sort Field option.
The Album by Artist column has been around longer than the Sort Field entry and, as far as I can tell, there does seem to be some overlap in what the two of them accomplish ... although the newer Sort Field certainly gives you much more flexibility in organizing your Library than Album by Artist does.
Also can an artists catalogue be sorted chronologically, rather than alphabetically?
Have you tried the Album by Year sort? Click on Album by Artist column heading and it will change to Album by Year. Is that what you're aiming for? If not post back and explain what you want to achieve.

About new options in 1.5 K8N bios

I have a64 3000+. After flashing to 1.5 bios on my K8N Neo FSR the HT frequency in bios is 1X, and not 4X like before. I will return it manually to former 4x, but why did it drop? There is also a new option, CPU vid 1.450, what is that for?

I am having serious issues with the 1.5 BIOS update. I updated it with the live BIOS. Now I want to revert back to 1.4. Ive done DOS updates before but these instructions I got from the MSI website now have one instruction for FAT systems and systems running Non-FAT partitions. I'm running WinXP SP2 with a NTFS Partition. Which do I follow? If I remember correctly, Just make a boot disk from ME or XP, delete the Autoexec and config.sys files, then insert the BIOS disk once that is booted up and your all set. Do I have this right?
I cant even go over 2080MHz with the 1.5, all kinds of stability issues with GOOD PC4000 memory, bad video card overclocks now. Almost like it's sucking more power. I have a pretty good 500watt power supply though (That Ultra 500 X connect thingy, got it pretty cheap.) Anyway could someone just give a quick run-down of what I do to revert to 1.4? I would greatly appreciate it.
System Specs: MSI k8N Neo Platinum, A64 3200+ (1mb L2, ClawHammer), 1024gb PNY PC4000, 160gb SATA HD, PNY Geforce 6800 Ultra, Audigy2 ZS, HDTV Wonder, Blah blah blah. PLENTY of cooling.
Thank you all and Bless These Forums!!

Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long. Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long. Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones.. Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.

Creating a New option in Leave absence form

hi all,
In leave absence work flow i want to give a new option for the leave approver along with the Accept and Reject. The new option is Forward. when he choose this option the absence form has to go to his superior officer. How to do this?
Plz reply to this thread asap.
regards,
ravi

You Need to have at least one substitute who can act upon work items in case of forward .
The Substitute agent would be able to see all your work items. A substitute cannot be assigned for only particular area of organization or any other item. So need to ensure that the substitute have the necessary authorizations to act upon the work items.
Procedure:
1.      Go to SAP Business Work Place (TCode: SBWP)
2.      Now from the menu bar, select Settings a Workflow settings a Maintain Substitute
3.      Highlight/Select the name on the window, in this case SAPDEV02 and click on u201CCreate Substituteu201D.
4.      List of users available in the system are displayed.
5.      Select the required substitute user name.
Validity field describes about the period in which the setting would be active. Note that the dates on the screen would range from the current date to 31st Dec 9999.
Important:Regarding the checkbox u201CSubstitution activeu201D, it is advised to leave this checkbox unchecked for system performance reasons. A check in this box indicates that the substitution is u201Cpermanentu201D and if left unchecked it is treated as u201Cas-neededu201D. A permanent substitute will automatically receive the primary users work items in their own box. In the case of u201Cas-neededu201D, substitute must manually adopt the work items from the primary useru2019s inbox.
6.      Save the entries
7.      Click Enter to leave the screen.
hope this may help you

How to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes

how to a make a suggestion about new features i'd like to see in itunes?
I can't find any link to do this. I found a page where you can request songs or an album to be added, but i can't find a page to submit my suggestions for itunes i have for new features i'd like to see

As of now there is no good, direct link for feedback on iTunes itself. Writing Apple might be the best option, with the website feedback page perhaps the next best.

How to add a new option to ADF dropdown

Hi,
I got a title field (#{bindings.title.inputValue}) which is pulled from AD, and ‘titlesList’ from a database. The problem is that if the title doesn’t exist on the selection, I will get a blank option. When it is saved, it becomes empty.
<af:selectOneChoice xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich" id="ssoc2" value="#{bindings.title.inputValue}" simple="true">
<f:selectItems xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" value="#{employeeBean.titlesList}" id="ssi2"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
I’ve tried to use javascript to add the new item to the Selection. But when I save it, I got “Attribute value cannot be null”.
I’m thinking about when I create the titlesList in employeeBean, I can add the new title to the list. As long as I know the user ID inside the bean, I can get the title. But, I don’t know how to pass the user ID to the backend from Selection. In jdeveloper 11.1.1.5, I am not allowed to do this "#{employeeBean.titlesList(userID)}". So, how can I add a new option to Selection.
Thank you.

how about adding
<af:selectItem label=" " value="" id="si21"/>to your existing selectonechoice

X-post: Puzzled about RMI

Folks, yes I am cross posting this so try to keep the flames down :) I've also placed it on the RMI forum but no one there seems to want to help and I know everyone in the "Advanced" forum are very helpful (do you like the flattery???).
Anyway, I'm just playing with RMI now and have followed the tutorial but I am a little puzzled about some behaviour I'm observing. This may be that I am missing a piece of information about RMI or how it works so if anyone can fill in the blanks then I would be most appreciative!!!
So I've got the following Remote interface definition:import java.rmi.*;
public interface RMIInterface extends Remote
    public int getValue () throws RemoteException;
    public void setValue (int val) throws RemoteException;
}And I have some code that implements that interface. This code also contains a main method that performs some stuff with the RMI object. It is given below:import java.rmi.*;
import java.io.*;
public class RMIObject implements Remote, RMIInterface, Serializable
    private int value = 0;
    public int getValue ()
                         throws RemoteException
     return this.value;
    public void setValue (int    val)
                          throws RemoteException
     this.value = val;
    static public void main (String argv[])
     try
             // Create the object.
         RMIObject o = new RMIObject ();
             // Bind it in.
         Naming.rebind ("//localhost/RMIObject", o);
             // Now get a reference to the object from the name server.
         o = (RMIObject) Naming.lookup ("//localhost/RMIObject");
             // Set the value to 100.
             o.setValue (100);
             // Print out the value.
         System.out.println (o.getValue ());
             // Get ANOTHER reference to the object.
         o = (RMIObject) Naming.lookup ("//localhost/RMIObject");
             // See what the value is.
         System.out.println (o.getValue ());
     } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace ();
}As you can see, I bind the object, then get a new reference to the object, set a value then get the reference again and see what the value is.
The output I get from this code is:
100
0
Which indicates that setValue is working when the reference is local but it's not updating the remote object. Now the question is, is this the way that RMI is supposed to work? i.e. should you NOT use RMI objects for holding state? If so what's the point because effectively the object would be isolated...can anyone shed any light on this?
BTW, I am NOT a student and this is NOT related to any exam/coursework question!!!

Easy folks...my reference to my potential student status was supposed to be "tongue-in-cheek", tis been a LONG time since I could get up when I want and pretend that I was really overworked and complain that I had too many assignments...
Now of course I am overworked and have too many assignments...least I get paid now...
Thanks for the help on this, I like to understand the mechanisms behind things, RMI from the outside has an appearance of "magic" that annoys me, I wasn't able to find out any description of how it actually works behind the scenes. I had to infer that it acts as a "broker", I presume that the RemoteObject object stores some information about where the JVM that actually holds the object is and then the Client uses this information (again behind the scenes) to get a connection.
This tends to worry me a bit though, the implication is that each object that is exported also contains a ServerSocket on a particular port that listens for incoming requests. Now I would presume that when it gets the request it then creates a new thread to handle it to prevent IO blocking. Now in a highly utilized system this means a lot of threads and a lot of port access, which is o.k. but that's a big use of resources. Also, if I have 2 objects listening on the same port, how does the JVM distinguish between the 2 objects when the incoming connection is received. The OS will wake up the JVM and inform it of a new connection (at least that's how Unix does it), but does the JVM have some "magic" that allows it to send it to the correct ServerSocket? I suppose that you also need to take into account Thread concurrency issues as well since you are (by definition) creating objects that will be multi-threaded...
Can anyone enlighten me on some of the above? Are there any books around that describe how RMI actually works...

Hi!
Naming.lookup(..) actually returns a local reference to the server's stub object (which is locally present in the RMI client's machine). This stub takes care of the remote method invocations. Actually I don't understand how could you do the typecasting to the RMIObject but this is not really important right now!
Let's see what happened in your example:
First you registered your RMIObject in the registry.
Then you retrieved a remote reference to it (a local stub, which implements the remote interface of the server object) and you set some variables of it.
Then you retrieved again that stub (the java system probably instantiated an other stub object) and its variables were initialized also.
This is not the way as the RMI should be used!
The Naming.lookup(..) method always returns a Remote interface (if it can, or throws a RemoteException). This return value must be typecasted to the server object's Remote interface (in your example it's RMIInterface).
Then you can use this object's (interface's) methods as you want to. (actually you use the stub object's methods which converts your calls to remote calls...)
I hope it's clear now,
Sany

Is there an about:config option to change FF's default action when closing a tab so that it displays the previous tab rather than the next tab?

With the new 3.6 tabbing behaviour (new tabs open to the right of the current tab, rather than at the end of the tab list), the old default behaviour when a tab is closed is no longer appropriate. Instead of displaying the next tab after the one that was closed, FF should display the previous one. Is there an about:config option to change the default behaviour upon closing a tab?

Try one of these:
*Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
*Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122
*Tab Control: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1480

Notification about new purchase made on other iOS device

Hi,
I would like to ask if there is an option to get notification about new purchases made on other iOS devices? Autodownload feature is cool but it's an "all or nothing" situation. I don't want to download every app to my iPad what I bought on my iPhone and vice versa.
IF I remember well, when I set up my new iPhone and made a purchase on my iPad, iPhone asked me about turning on/off autodownload. But after that I have no notification. Or my memory is bad and it didn't happened.
Thank You for your help!
Janos
P.S.: I know it is not the perfect community for my question but there is no community such as "App Store", "iOS App Store usage" as there is one for Mac App Store.

Thanks for your answer! Yes, I tried that but that's not what I would like to use.
If I turn on "Automatic Downloads" for Apps e.g. or Books, it'll download all the Apps I buy elsewhere.
I would like to get only a notification like "You've downloaded XY app on an other device. Would You like to download it now?". Is there any option for this?

A doubt about template option

I have questions about template options in indesign.
1. What is the use of saving the document as indesign template?
2. How can we use the option "document from template" in "new" menu? i.e the purpose of the option.
3. If i had created a .indd document using a template, when i change the styles in template, will it be updated in the documents, where i have used the template.
Please clear my doubts.
regards
r.karthik

1. As Bob said. There is one other feature of templates, though, that might make them worth considering (I just learned this the other day, myself, by reading the manual...), templates save thumbnails of all pages, documents only save a thumbnail of page one. Aside from that, they are the same except for default opening behavior (templates open an untitled copy, documents open as original), and you can convert from one to the other by changing the file extension (but you'll only have the thumbnails you started with).
2. The new from template selection sends you to the pre-defined sample templates that shipped with the program, though you can navigate to where you've store your own. Easier, though, just to do File > Open ... and choose the template.
3. As Bob said.

Problem with combo in js IE - new Option(t,v) not working

hello! Did somene had experience some problems with
adding new options in select object (combo box) in javascript? I can change text or value property, delete option by setting it to null, but when I want to add new, there is a problem!?
why this code doesn't work?
<script>
ref = window.document.frmExample["cbo1"];
alert(ref.length);
ref.options[ref.length] = new Option("text'","value1");
alert(ref.length);
</script>
interesting thing is that this works in Netscape (6), but it is not working in IE(5.5), and this is my first and last example where Netscape is 'better'...
Can someone help, please?
regards...
Vlada

you are right, it works in the 'mother' page, but if I want to add some options from popup window (window.open...), and when I accessing combo throught opener propery, than I have problem, because it is not working!?
code sample...
... 'mother' page function ...
function fAdd(){
var popupW;
popupW = window.open("page.html","name",attr);
if (!popupW.opener)
popupW.opener = window;
... popup window function...
function fClick(){
var opt;
var ref = window.opener.document.frmExample1["cbo1"];
alert(ref.length);
opt = "new";
ref.options[ref.length] = new Option(opt,opt);
window.close();
I get alert with the number ofoptions in combo, so ref is OK. I can delete some of them, change, but not to add new! Then I get Error message.
any sugestion!? Strange, but it works in Netscape ...

Element Entry not showing up for new option in a plan after Open Enrollment

I had to add a new option in a plan. I have defined the option, added it to the plan. I setup 2 standard rates for this option; one non-tax and the other taxable. This is an odd example because 1 certain employee falls under Group Health Employee plus Spousal Equivalent Plus Family. Last year the employee had Group Health Employee plus Spousal Equivalent but he still is not married and now has a domestic partner child. So they have asked me to create this option in the Group Health plan. Everything works fine when i choose the new option while the open life event is in started status and i can designee the spousal equivalent and the domestic partner child. But when i close the open life event and go to people and maintain and go to assignment to view the entries this employee has Group Health EE and Group Health EE Taxable still there with an end date of 1Jan08 and when i day track to 2Jan08 he does not have this entries there? What am i missing here? Also, when selecting the option in benefits service center if you scroll to the right there are no rates defined for this option.....but under standard rates i have defined a specific rate to this option and correctly filled out the level, compensation object, activity type, tax type, usage, element, input value and assignment to use. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I've discovered that the problem is that there is no new file for the new blog entry. The other blog entry was published to the site folder before I was online but now when I hit the publish button it goes straight to uploading to my site, and the new entry doesn't show up as it has no file in the folder. How can I get it to publish to the folder before it uploads?

Update "when new" option in the EO

There are 2 projects, one with Bussiness component and the other with JSP's.
In the EO for an attribute if I set it as updatable "When New" option instead of "Always" or "Never", then it works properly when I test my AM. ie. We can enter a value for his field only at the time of insert. Once we save we can only view the value, we can't update it.
But the problem is in the other project when we run the Insert JSP we cannot enter any value since there is no text field for this attribute.
In the Edit JSP also it is like this. Ofcourse in the Edit JSP it should not allow us to update so the text field should be display only & that is coming correctly but how can it come as a display filed in the Insert JSP ?
In that case there is no difference between setting "Updatable Never" and "Updatable When New".
Please clarify .
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to know some more details to know exactly why the field is not appearing.
1. Is this an attribute that was included in your EO when you first created it, or one that you added later?
ARCHANA : This attribute was not included later. It was there when I first created it because it is the "Code" which is the primary key.
2. Is this attribute in the View Object your JSP insert page is based on?
ARCHANA: Yes, It is there in the View Object.
3. Is the View Object your JSP insert page is based on made up of one EO, or is it based on more than one EO?
ARCHANA : The View Object is based on one EO only.
4. In your JSP, you can try adding the following code to see if the attribute field will get displayed:

Actually my JSP has exactly the same code as u have sent. I have included "Code" in my setDisplayAttributes() method also. The label for this attribute appears but adjacent to it there is no text control to type the data when I insert data.
