REAL buttons and dials on Pocket PC

Hi All,
I am working on a Pocket PC project. Instead of using a touch screen, I am trying to use REAL buttons, clickers, dials, or tracking ball as the user interface. Has any one worked on encoders or anything that will help on that before?

Hi hellolv, do you want to use the hardware buttons of your PDA or you want to add additional hardware to the PDA?
For working with the buttons on the PDA there is an example in LabVIEW search examples.
In case you want to use additional hardware depending on your PDA if it has USB you can connect a USB DAQ card and receive your inputs through there.

IPhone 4s looks shut down all the time.especially when the 3g is on.in the forums its said to push the use button and the power button at the same time.the people calling me cannot reach at my phone.what should i do ?

my phone looks like offline all the time.its all about me to notice that its offline.then i have to push the main button and the power button together to open it.then the apple sign comes on the screen and the phone turns online.but i cannot receive the information of who called me at the time that my iphone 4s turned offline by itself.i cannot receive messages at all.what can i do now ? i sent the phone to the service and they just told me that they installed the current version.but i guess nothing happened.its doing the same thing again.i cannot use my iphone.
From Turkiye.

I've tried all those.But nothing works.The phone seems to be shut down.But it is not.When i get it out of my pocket, for example to call someone, i touch to main button but nothing happens.I solve it by pushing the power button and the main button together just for a couple of seconds, as its said so in the forums.
also, people told me that they were calling me, my phone was ringing but i didnt answer?...i checked it for millions of times, it seems to be shut down, but its normally not.then i push the buttons together and the apple sign comes on the screen.it searches for the network.and it works.
but i do not see any calls, texts anything.but for the others, they say my phone seems to be workin.
I thought it was 'cause of the 3G is switched on but when I turn 3G off, it does the same thing.it seems to be offline all the time.

Is there a way to make rotated Buttons and ones that overlap??

currently, im working on a dvd menu, and i want it to look like a stack of Polaroids,
so i made the menu in photoshop with all the codes, like (+)(%) ect.
though now i want the buttons to be overlapping and all tilted to a random direction,
like a real stack of polaroids, i've tried making a "straight" menu and then rotating the buttons, but it didn't work.
is there a way that you can rotate buttons and have the thumbnail footage also be rotated?
and is it possible to have buttons that overlap at some point?
(note that i want the Animated thumbnails)
here's a random example picture i found online
though i know it might be possible by making them all by manually in AfterEffects,
by using the original footage with lots of masks to make thumbnail movies,
but im not looking for such a tedious job, also im not very skilled in AfterEffects

In DVD-Video, buttons cannot overlap, and their hit area will always be a rectangle...even if the contents of the button are rotated, it will result only in the rectangle becoming larger, to fit the rotated graphics.
Regarding button thumbnail layers, they show similar behavior - they will always render out as a rectangle.
If you don't use thumbnail layers (try a replacement layer), you should be able to rotate the button without the replacement layer getting re-adjusted. But note replacement layers don't accept video. If you want video in the buttons, you'll have to do all the work in After Effects.
But remember - your buttons cannot overlap without introducing button highlighting problems.
A better solution is to not make these buttons at all, but a regular menu layer or video background layer. And then you can create custom highlight layers in Photoshop, again making sure your buttons don't overlap. This would be a lot of work.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
Thanks

Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
Remove the AC power cord.
Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
wait a quarter minute.
Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
wait a quarter minute
attempt to power on.
If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

I got a message that I should download an upgrade to Firefox 3.6.16. So I hit the download button and it said "Downloading the update" and "Connecting to the udate server". And it gets stuck there. How can I get past it?

I have an iMac OS 10.4. I downloaded Firefox a while ago and I had no real problems with it. Then I got this message that I should update Firefox to 3.6.16. So I hit the "Download" button and I get the "Software Update" which says "Downloading the update" with a progress bar and below it , it says "Connecting to the download server". But it gets stuck there. The progress bar has gone to the end of bar. How can I get hooked up to the Update server?

That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

My iPhone will turn on and dial people in my contacts randomly

My iPhone 4 will turn on and dial people in my contacts radomly

Did you try resetting?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
This just started happening 3 days ago.
When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
WIFI OFF:
WIFI ON:
I hope someone can assist me with this!
Thanks!!

There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

Menu Buttons and remote buttons in DVDSP 4.2.1

Hi
Sorry, this is the first real DVDSP project for me that involves menus and chapters. I used template from the program. I deleted the 3 bottom buttons and added text in a different place for play and scene menu. I then drew a button box around the text to make the text a button. Got all the navigation set. However there no highlight on the preview so you don't know which button your pushing. I burnt a DVD to test everything.
I have COD's FCS tutorials but the DVDSP isn't giving me what I need.
So what did I do wrong? My scene selection menu is all text buttons, no graphics at all.
Also when playing the DVD on my TV, the menu on my remote didn't work. I had to push the title button on the remote. Am I supposed to map the remote buttons as well.
Thanks for any help. Be nice to find a video tutorial with basics like scene selection and laying out an highlighting buttons. I"m totally lost here! ;-(
Allen

Thanks.. I know it use to be there but could not find it in the new version.. will test it out...
I've put a snap shot of the project at :
http://gallery.mac.com/herstik#100124
Can DVSP4 also allow me no next jump to menus???
I could only ever set it up to next jump through the movies... for a total of 99 tracks...
After that I need to make menus into movie tracks.. but these are not navigable...
Cheers
Thanks for the help...

Slideshow w/next previous buttons and linkable images

I am attempting to create a slideshow that incorporates next and previous buttons and will allow the viewer to click on the slideshow images to be taken to a different URL for each image. I can do the slide show. I can do the linked images. However, when I try to add the buttons I am at a loss. I have created N/P buttons, but I cannot get them to work with linked images. Any suggestions?

Can you elaborate on how much, and what, you've created? When you say you can do the slide show and you can do the linked images, what exactly did you do?
How do you envision the slideshow actually visually working? Will multiple images be visible at once? What visual transition? These things matter when coding the button functionality.
Of course you can always google for a premade slideshow, plenty free out there and unless you're doing it to learn, no real reason to reinvent the wheel.

Programmer's button and firmware update

This issue is of more general nature, at least B&Ws use similar procedure, maybe all newer Macs. An OS 9 program (firmware updater), a separate firmware image, shutting down, pressing programmer's button... I would really like to understand the mechanism.
What happens when I push the programmers button? Is it just for opening the flash for writing?
Why did my iMac G3 SL chime after the beep and before the progress bar?
Where does the firmware updater place itself and the firmware image and how does open firmware find them? Would it be possible to place them there on another computer? Why is there a requirement that the boot disk is writable? I guess this makes it impossible to build a bootable CD that could make the update?
Is it really the firmware updater that writes the new firmware into the flash? Not some ROM routine?
How does the firmware updater decide its behaviour? When first run inside the OS it initiates the upgrade, then after pushing the programmer's button it does the real job, and when rebooting again it shows the result.
Why did Apple not make a version for OS X?

Have you tried connecting an external monitor to the computer with the black screen? That will sometimes work. Some people have managed to run the firmware update, even with a black screen, by being in a completely darkened room and being able to see just enough on the screen to run the update.
There are lots of tricks for getting firmware installed here.
Below is an excerpt regarding dealing with the blank screen issue:
39. If your iMac is booting up but you can't get a screen display then you have a few options to consider:
40. Some people have managed to do a "blind" firmware update. First of all it will be necessary to update the iMac's OS to 9.1 (unless you already have this or a later version of OS 9 installed) and get the firmware updater onto the HD.
41. There are different ways of doing this - e.g. take the HD out and put it into another Mac (Donna's note- to avoid a common confusion, please be aware that firmware does not "reside" on the HD at all, even though it needs to be run from the HD. For example, once your firmware has been updated, you can put a new hard drive into that iMac without needing to update the firmware again. However, this drive swapping may be a way to get the updater onto the drive and then put the drive back into the iMac and try to install the update - if that makes any sense); or if file sharing is on then you might be able to access the iMac's HD remotely for updating the OS and copying the firmware updater over; or you could try starting the problematic iMac in "FireWire target disk" mode. This allows you to connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable and have the iMac's HD appear as an external disk on the other Mac, allowing you to install OS 9.1 and copy the firmware updater over. You may also find this article helpful: Macintosh: Computer Does Not Enter Into FireWire Target Disk Mode.
42. If you have access to software such as Timbuktu for remotely controlling another machine then this would be a convenient way of seeing the screen of and controlling the problematic iMac.
43. If you really have no way of getting a screen display, then try putting the unpacked firmware updater in the Startup Items folder (contrary to the advice above in para. 35). Then when you boot OS 9.1 (or higher), the updater will automatically start. You will need to dismiss 2 (?) dialogs by pressing <Return>: the first is a licence agreement, and the second is the dialog to shut the iMac down. You will have to use your skill and judgement in determining when the iMac is ready for you to press Enter each time! Once the iMac has shut itself down in preparation for the firmware update you can proceed as per the published instructions.

IPhone 4 home button and calls

We have two iPhone...both 4. Both are running the latest software. We both have the same issue. One is that frequently when you press the home button to escape an app it doesn't work. If you press the on/off button and then go back to the home button it may work, but not always. It takes repeated tries to get a response.
The second, and perhaps related, issue is that calls frequently do not connect. I can select a contact from either my favorites or the contact list. When I select the name the phone appears to be dialing. You hear the ring once, but no more and the call doesn't connect. Then you can't end the call to start over you have to wait for it to decide to end.
I don't know whether to restore both phones or not. We are thinking of visiting the Genius bar, but we're sure they will work perfectly there.
Thanks,

To your first issue, is this happening across all applications or is it a specific app? I think the main problem is inefficient management, try holding down home + power until the device reboots. You may want to restore from a backup as well.
Same goes for issue #2.

SIP8961 press messages button and get "Messages not available"

I can go offhook and dial the voicemail pilot number 6599, but pressing the messages button says "Messages not available” in large pop-up (see attached photo) (debug ccsip messages shows no output either). I’m not looking for voice view express to work, just to be able to check messages. Once I fix this is there something under voice register global I need to put for a SIP 8961 for Voice View Express in Unity Express 8.6
If I got to a SCCP 6945 I have no problems checking messages (debug ccsip messages I get output)

How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

Hi Experts,
I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
Thank you,
Don

Hi,
Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
Eg:
On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
else...{
Hope this helps you.

Photoshop Elements 12
Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!
