Hi
Sounds like it could be this.
In System Preferences > Speech, deselect Other Spoken Items There are three there to see.
It could also be:
In System Preferences > Universal Access, turn off Enable text- to - Speech for Universal Access Preferences at the bottom of that screen.

Basic easy noob question - best way of getting string from slider value

Hi all
I'm using a slider in my iPhone app to allow the user to select the number of days on a scale 1 - 10 for example.
I've got the following which isn't quite working and after battling for hours and hours to get my head around UINavigationControllers I really can't be bothered anymore. Can someone please just give me the answer
I want to get an int value from the slider which returns a float. here's my code I have (which again, isn't working correctly).
-(IBAction)numberofDaysSliderMoved:(id)sender {
NSNumber *theValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:numberofDaysSlider.value];
[myLabel setText:[numberFormatter stringFromNumber:theValue]];
I know it's crap code and i've probably coded the long way round but i'm just trying to get it working and i'm new to obj-C so please bare with me.
Regards
Wayne

First off - you can wrap your code here like this:
my code here
<-- no slash
Here you go:
NSNumber *sliderValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:numberofDaysSlider.value];
int intValue = [sliderValue intValue];
NSString *stringValue = [sliderValue stringValue];
Have a look as the NSNumber docs. Lots of easy ways to create and convert numbers.

Quick/Easy J++ Question

Could someone please help me....
Write a program to determine the answers for each of the following:
a. The square root of 30
b. The sine and cosine of 100
c. The value of the floor, ceiling, and round of 44.7
d. The larger and the smaller ofthe character K and the interger 70.

Generally, this board is a resource to help answer specific problems a Java developer runs into in the course of programming. Popping your head in to ask someone to do your work for you is rude, and more importantly, unlikely to help you learn anything that your programming assignment might teach you.
I would suggest searching the forums to see if anyone else has asked similar questions and start from there. Once you have at least SOME of your own code, feel free to ask as many questions as you want, they are more than likely to be answered. If you can't at least start this simple program, maybe you ought to seek a more serious method of study or tutoring. I mean no disrespect by my response, I'm just trying to help you out and prevent any unnecessary flaming that has occured in the past in response to similar posts.

2 (presumably) easy noob questions

1.) I'm trying to implement actions for multiple buttons, but I'm struggling. Is it possible to do this within the same actionPerformed() method, or do I need one for each button? If I need one for each button, how would I set it up?
2.) Also, I'm trying to write to a file when I use the "OK" button, but it won't let me throw IOException in the actionPerformed() method. Is there any way to get around this, or can I not use a JButton action to write to a file?

}

Is it possible to do this within the same actionPerformed() method, Yes, but it's not the best approach since you need to use a bunch of nested if/else statements
or do I need one for each button?This is the preferred approach.
One way to do this is to use Actions. Read this section from the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Actions" for more information:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html
Another way to do this to create Anonymous Inner classes for each button:
JButton doSomething = new JButton("Do Somethingt");
doSomething.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          System.out.println("I'm doing something");
});Or simply create another class that implement the ActionListener interface. One class for each button.

Quick, Easy classpath question

I thought I understood classpaths, but I encountered an error I could not explain.
I have my classpath set to:
C:\Project1;C:\Project2
Note that these folders are not packages themselves, but are the root folders containing all the package folders and class files.
One class contained inside of a package in Project2 imports and uses a class contained inside of package in Project1. I am getting a NoClassDef found error. I could have sworn that this has worked before.
Can someone set me straight on how I need to set this up?
Thanks in advance,
hqd

Hi Friend,
At run time it is possible to set the class path.
Use the following option with �Java�
$java �classpath .;C:\Project1;C:\Project2
It may help you
Have a nice day

Quick easy String question for u pros

How can I add a string to a string. Each time I try the output is blank...:(There are a variety of ways. Don't make us guess at what you're trying to do.
Please post a short, concise, executable example of what you're trying to do. This does not have to be the actual code you are using. Write a small example that demonstrates your intent, and only that. Wrap the code in a class and give it a main method that runs it - if we can just copy and paste the code into a text file, compile it and run it without any changes, then we can be sure that we haven't made incorrect assumptions about how you are using it.

Really easy noob question

i know nothing about java
i have this line:
int i = StrangeBase.parseBase(s, 13) & 0x3fff;
and i was wandering what does & 0x3fff means?
0x3fff is haxadecimal i know that but what does the operater do?

It's a binary 'And' operator. 3fff in binary is
0011 1111 1111 1111
so it masks out bits to keep only the rightmost 14 of them.

Easy noob question!

This is a silly one! I have, lets say a large rectangle and I
want it to be centred in whatever resolution the viewer is using.
So I've made a table the same size as the rectangle, and the
properties options let me centre it horizontally, bu how do i make
sure its centred vertically? Cheers in advance!

Openbox noob question on menus.

I really do apologize about this insanely noob question but this is driving me up a wall.
I've read several several different resources on openbox (particularly trying to find information on the root menu)
i'm either looking in the wrong place - or I totally saw it and didn't put 2 and 2 together. *shrugs*
so, here is the dealio -
I'm trying to edit the root menu (or as I like to call it right clicky drop down thingy)
I'm running LXDE and from everything I've gathered over the last couple of days trying to tackle this
with lxde you edit the lxde-rc.xml instead of the menu or rc.xml
although after reading through it a plethora of times I noticed that it pulls off of the menu.xml as well...
*basically*
Which file do I actually edit to add stuff to the root menu?
and i've seen dozens of actual templates for editing the menu.xml and lxde-rc.xml but whenever *I* try to follow that I get a syntax error on openbox --reconfigure
and insight or even a swift kick in the ass that will land me on a site that has info that actually works would be ever so appreciated (even if its a search term - I think my problem now is that i've spent so much time looking for this one thing that I might actually be insanely over complicating this and not picking out the right information )

stlarch wrote:An easy way is to install obmenu
I can agree with that even though I'm not sure how to use that program very well. I'd rather learn how to manually edit the stuff, and not have to rely on another program
the main reason I got away from ubuntu was to be semi/forced to learn everything.
JackH79 wrote:Have you read this here as well?
I did glance at that but didn't think that was referring to the root menus...I can decifer through the xml those menu files to some extent...the stuff on freedesktop is straight crypic to me atm...but at least now I know I need to take a much closer look hehe.

Syncing & Streaming from the same Library? - Noob question

Good Evening - I have a silly noob question that I can't believe I can't find the answer to on my own: I have been trying to determine if it is possible to sync and stream from the same library simultaneously.
I purchased the 40GB aTV and it has been syncing just fine with my Windows iTunes. I told it not to sync a few albums I never listen to so I wouldn't have issues with other songs or movies. I am upgrading to a new iMac and I am am going to re-rip many of my existing CD's to get them into a consistent audio quality of 192 AAC or above. This is going to push my library size to well over the 40GB limit in just music, not including any movies or TV shows I choose to pull in.
The manual does not make it obvious (or I am not reading clearly) what happens to items that don't sync over - I assume they are still playable but will have to stream. Is there anyway to mark "preferred" albums or artists that should get synced and not streamed in case the iTunes library is unavailable for whatever reason?
Also, when I change libraries is the aTV going to completely re-sync even though the music is must going to be migrated?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these silly questions.

That's not quite what I was looking for.
My question remains, what happens to the items that can't be synced from my main library to my aTV? My library is just a smidge bigger than the available space on the aTV and not everything syncs over. Does that mean I won't be able to play those items not synced from my main library...
As my library grows I don't want to have to choose what does and doesn't get synced from my library by mood. For example, every year my wife buys new christmas music - right now I could exclude it and everything else gets copied over, but come thanksgiving that stuff better be there for her and I don't want to choose other music or movies to remove.
I guess I will just have to play to try it out.

My itunes library has duplicated all of my music and would take me hours to delete one by one. What is a quick easy way to delete over 2,500 duplicates?

My itunes library has duplicated all of my music and would take me hours to delete one by one. What is a quick easy way to delete over 2,500 duplicates?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..

Helly Gurus
I am loading from a dso to a cube and doing a lookup on a second dso.
eg
'Name' is in the DSO1
I lookup 'Address' from DSO2
Then load to the cube.
The problem is there may be more than one address so although I have coded the lookup to
find all addresses, I do know how to get these into my results.
Only the first address it finds is there.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
    select * from DSO1 where
    NAME = DATA_PACKAGE-NAME.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      move-corresponding DSO2 to itab1. collect itab1.
    endif.
    endselect.
endloop.
What do I need to do to get all of the results?
I am in 3.5 so do not have the use of an End Routine.
Thanks
Tom Tom

you need to do several treatments in fact you need to add records on the data_package (by the way it is not an easy ABAP question as you mentioned !)
So
Treatment 1: select all the records from ods2 table of adresses outside the loop
    select names adresses
    from ods2
    into table g_itab_ods2
      for all entries in data_package
      where name eq data_package-name.
Treatment 2: delete double records of the internal table.
    delete adjacent duplicates from g_itab_ods2 comparing names adresses.
Treatment 3: loop over the data_package. Within this loop read the internal ods2 table and loop over it to assign the corresponding adresses. Then append the results to the temporary data_package_tmp and move all the records to the initial data_package.
loop at data_package assigning <data_fields>.
   read table g_itab_ods2 into l_g_itab_ods2
      with key name = <data_fields>-name.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        loop at g_itab_ods2 assigning <adresses>
        where name                = <data_fields>-name.
          <data_fields>-adresses= <adresses>-adresses.
          append <data_fields> to lt_data_package_tmp.
        endloop.
      endif.
    endloop.
    data_package[] = lt_data_package_tmp[].
free lt_data_package_tmp.
this should do what you want to do. hope this could help you out.

Another Noobie question - readLine()

Hi all
This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file
    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){
            NetworkLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }My Test.txt is
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
without the *
The output I get is
Two
Four
Six
I cannot figure out why only even no. lines are being read. I inserted a breakpoint at the line
          System.out.println(NetworkLine);This shows me that only even no. lines are being read by readLine(). Any help will be appreaciated.
Thanks
Ayesha

    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){ // <-- This reads a line, checks it for null ,and drops it
            NetworkLine = in.readLine(); // <-- this reads the next line
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }So the upshot is that you print every other line.
Corrected:
    String networkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while ((networkLine = in.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(networkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Noob questions...windows emulation on mac OS 10.4

getting my ibook later this week and was wondering about windows emulation. i don't have an intel processor in my ibook (obviously), so what's your recommendation for a product that runs windows on a mac? and, total noob question, do i have to buy a copy of windows? i already have windows on my dell laptop.
thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
so, do the new macbooks have some kind of software
pre-installed that runs windows? my friends who just
got a macbook tells me he can run windows programs if
he needs to.
The MacBooks have Intel processors in them. So, no emulation is necessary. They can directly install and run Windows if they want.
The reason you need a program like Virtual PC on an iBook is because it uses a PowerPC processor which Windows cannot communicate with. And, the PowerPC Mac's architecture is completely different.
So, that means you need a program like Virtual PC to completely emulate an entire PC computer. Basically, it is a program that simulates a real computer and then translates those Intel instructions into PowerPC instructions that your iBook can understand.
There is a severe performance penalty for all this translation. The iBook G4 will not perform like a regular Windows PC. It will be much slower, and you will need to be more patient. With a G4 iBook, you could reasonably expect your performance to be comparable to a 300 MHz PC running Windows XP.
With a 1.8 GHz iMac G5 and 2 GB of RAM, I was experiencing performance comparable to a 1.3 GHz Intel Celeron system with 256 MB of RAM (which I happened to have around for comparison).
But, for more intensive tasks, the performance was more comparable to a 500 MHz system.
Anyway, back to the Intel Macs. Those machine's only need a free Apple Utility "Boot Camp" to provide the drivers and create a Windows compatible boot partition:
http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/
And, then they need Windows XP Home or Pro. That's it.
With programs like Parallels, they can run Windows inside the Mac OS (or along side it) much like you would with Virtual PC:
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/
i am trying to figure out where this might be useful
in the first place.
It is useful if you need to be able to run Windows software, but don't want to buy a PC. It's more convenient to have one machine that can do everything than it is to have a Mac and a separate PC.
Feel free to ask additional questions if you have them. Or, if you like, hit solved on the post if you feel everything is answered.
But, do let me know if I can answer any additional questions or need to re-state something clearer.
