Really beginner question - i think

I've had my iPhone and iTunes for ages. I have a iMac and a Macbook air. I only use my iMac for my iPhone.
My best friend just bought and iPhone, its up and running and he wants some apps. Believe it or not, he does not have a computer. So he is going to hook it up to my Mac air and get an iTunes account that way. Works for both of us because I'm eventually going to get the smaller Mac Air (mine is 1st gen) and he will get this older Mac Air.
However I'm sure I've opened the iTunes on the Mac Air before but I've never synced my phone to it. So my question is this: Will it automatically list his phone as one of mine? (we don't want that) Will it erase anything on his phone? Is there anything else I should know about doing this?
Thanks for your help!

in that case, i would do this:
(a) create a new user account on the MBA (might as well make it an admin user account)
(b) while in his user account, set him up with a new iTunes store account
(c) let him use his iTunes store account in his user account to purchase content for his iPhone to keep both your purchases strictly separate
(d) before you give your MBA to him, you might want to delete your user account
click here and have a look @ *method one*.

Really silly question I think.

I have an applet that I am trying to add buttons to. The Applet uses Border Layout. I want to add two buttons side by side at the bottom of the frame, but whenever I say
container.add(jButton1, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
container.add(jbutton2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
Only one of the buttons appears at the bottom. I want them both to appear, side by side, at the bottom of the screen. How do I do this?

Okay, so if I want to add two tables (1 on top of the other) to the WEST side of this layout, how should I do that? I tried adding the two tables to their own JPanel, but they get put side by side and I want them on top of each other.It's time to start doing some homework. I recommend that you go to the Sun tutorials and start reading on and experimenting with the different layouts. Look most carefully at BorderLayout, FlowLayout, BoxLayout and GridLayout. for your current purposes, one of the latter two would probably work best.
Oh, also, avoid looking at the GridBagLayout until you understand the above well.

A really easy question...I think.

Hi everyone,
I have turned the internet inside-out looking for a simple
tutorial on this and so far I think they have all taken me kind of
a long way around. Basically what I want is text/photos/buttons/
inside the
box that are
"scrollable" without having to scroll left or right. My Flash
document is 800x533px. I've tried doing the whole ScrollPane thing
going through about 5 tutorials with different methods but it says
I have to do New Symbol/Movie Clip and the so-called "stage" that
you construct the movie on doesn't allow you to change dimentions
as far as I know. I can only change the dimensions of the main
Stage and the ScrollPane. I feel like this is a simple task so any
help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this is a stupid
question. Thanks everyone.

Beginner question: Configure Tomcat for JAAS?

Hi,
This is a beginner question :-(. I'm trying to get JAAS to work on my Tomcat (6.0.12) installation. I used code from a Javaworld article (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2002/jw-0913-jaas.html)
Of course I had to configure my Tomcat to work together with JAAS. The document I used is: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/printer/realm-howto.html
According to the Tomcat doc I have to do the following steps before I can use JAAS to authenticate a user:
1. Develop your code. Place the compiled classes in Tomcat's classpath
2. Setup a login.config file for Java, and tell Tomcat where to find it (set JAVA_OPTS)
3. Configure the JAASRealm in your server.xml
1 Develop code: I use the following classes:
PassiveCallbackHandler.java
RdbmsCredential.java
RdbmsLoginModule.java
RdbmsPrincipal.java
These classes I put in the package rdbmsjaas.
In the %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas/WEB-INF/lib directory I created the rdbmsjaas.jar file.
The jsp is called jaas.jsp, and is stored in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas
2. Setup login.config
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf I saved the file Javaworld_all_that_Jaas.config, containing:
Example {
   RdbmsLoginModule required
   debug="true"
   url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jaasdb?user=javauser&password=javadude"
   driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
};I created an XP Environment Variable JAVA_OPTS with the value <-DJAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.auth.login.config==C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config> (excluding < and >)
I used the fully qualified address, instead of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config. I think XP balks when it sees $CATALINA_HOME).
3 Configure JAASRealm in server.xml
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\ I changed web.xml. I added the following lines:
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
             appName="jaas"
             userClassName="rdbmsjaas.RdbmsPrincipal"
             debug="99"
       />If I run the jsp from http://localhost:8080/JavaWorld_Jaas/jaas.jsp, I can enter my username/password, but when I click the Submit button, I get:
Caught Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configurationWhere did my configuration go wrong?

You will need a JSP/servlet engine such as Tomcat - Apache alone won't do it.
I haven't seen any tutorials on set-up but the Tomcat documentation includes info on how to link to Apache. There are also books you can buy - check out the online book stores such as Amazon.
There's also a lot of info on this forum.

Beginner question: creating my own virtual instruments from samples

Hi, I have a beginner question. I'd like to make a click-track, but I want to use my own sounds, either recorded or from the internet. Can I do this with Logic Express 7, or do I need Logic Pro 7 and the EXS24?
Thanks,
Ryan

I think you can do it, but it might be a pain.
You could import a sample of a single click and just paste it into every beat on the Arrange Page.
Other than that, you might need the sampler included with Logic Pro

Question: I think I made mistakes using several different id apple. How can I cancel all of them except the one I would like to maintain ?

Question: I think I made mistakes using several different id apple. How can I cancel all of them except the one I would like to maintain ?

From Here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Beginner Question

Hello all, hopefully I have posted this to the correct LiveCycle board!
I'm new to Acrobat and LiveCycle in general. I'm working out of windows LiveCycle Designer 8.x and my question is as follows....
I'm working off of the "Quote" Form Template and what I am looking for is a way to make the rows of the Table expand as needed. I will be converting this Template into a "Purchase Order" form, and there will be many occassions where I will need to increase the table rows - perhaps onto a second or even third page - due to the volume of different items I will be seeking prices on at a given time.
Long story short I would like to take this "QUOTE" form template and make it such that if needed, I can expand the table size one row at a time, pushing the content beneath (Comments, subtotal, etc) onto the next page....
Hoping I have explained my query well enough, Could anyone provide me a solution or point me in the correct direction?
Many thanks!

As a followup, so as not to clog the board with numerous threads I have another beginner question
For the sake of hypotheticals I am creating a dynamic PDF form. This pdf is a Purchase Order Form, with a table in the Body that will expand/contract as the form user needs. (EXA- Default table size is 5 items, however user is creating an order for 12 items, he/she can increase the table rows to desired capactiy.) It will be a very simple layout. All data for the form will come from manual entry, no XML data binding going on.
My new question is as follows:    Is there a way I can have this user's Adobe reader or Adobe acrobat software remember previous data entries, so that if 4 weeks after ordering widget X he/she needs to place another order for widget X, the software will autofill the table as he/she types into the table cell?
This would be similar to how Excel will start to autofill if it recognizes a previously entered value from some other cell in the worksheet (workbook?)
EXA-
[NAME]   [MODEL]   [QTY]   [PRICE]
Widget           A            433        $30.00
Would it be possible for the software to notice that I'm typing the word "widget" somewhere after typing "wid" ???
Many thanks for any and all followups, I'm a teenager trying to help out in my father's small business. They are in the darkages here and I'm doing my best to self teach.
Thanks.

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.

Beginner question: Can I apply one formula to all cells in a column?

Hi,
I'm new to spreadsheets, so apologies for asking what is probably a very simple question.
I want to apply a formula that divides the values in one column (W) by values in another (AX) for a table containing 3000 rows, and outputs the result for each row into the appropriate cell in the new column I've created.
Numbers 09 'help' hasn't helped to this point.

Besides Numbers '09 Help there are two other useful resources available in the Help menu: the Numbers '09 User Guide and iWork Formulas and Functions Help.
For "Beginner questions," my first choice would be the User Guide. For the specific question you asked, a quick scan of the chapter on "Using Formulas and Functions" (pp 83-96) will provide some useful information. Start in the neighborhood of page 93.

This maybe a really dumb question...

I know this maybe a really dumb question but I do need to ask:
-Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?
(I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
-In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
Thank you in advance.

jlee636:
The Boot Camp installation guide is [HERE|http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp>. It should be able to answer questions related to installation. Of course these discussions have several other information on boot camp/ windows. All you need to do is launch a search on them.
-In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
Too many people make a partition very small and then regret having done so. My recommendation is to have a partition of at least 32GB. It is highly dependent on what your will be installing on Windows XP/Vista.
-Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?(I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
It is more than likely that the Windows disk that came with your previous PC/Laptop is an OEM disk and will only work properly with that particular PC. This is generally the case with Dell, HP, Sony etc. The installation disk in the cases above are usually branded.
For more information on which Windows version(s) work with Boot Camp then please click [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11889.html].

Quick Easy Question- I think...

If you have 15 expressions, concatenated by Boolean OR's, how many of the expressions must be true for the entire thing to be true? My friend and I are arguing whether the answer is...
a. at least 1
b. all of them
c. cannot be determined
Thank you so much for your input. We are studying for an exam, trying to finish the practice questions. I appreciate any input and your time!! :-)

Hi,
Programming languages are created by humans, and therefore it is usually pretty easy to answer such questions. Think about the human language..
Do you have a car or a house or a space ship?
Any one who owns a car or a house would answer yes, even if they didn't own a space ship. That is, the whole expression evaluates to true if one of the statements is true.

Beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown workflow

Hello
I have a beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown.
If I edit some 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV Files and put them into multi-track view to do crossfades, how should I do the mixdown?
Audition shows me in multi-track view, that it is doing 32-Bit mixing.
Can I just mixdown to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo without any dithering (as the files are 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo to begin with), or will I lose quality that way?
I will be performing a normalization to 96% to the mixdown and then split to tracks in Audition, as in the end I want to to have an audio CD.
I guess I could mixdown to 32Bit, then normalize and in the end save back to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV (with dithering, I suppose?), but I want to avoid any unnecessary converting steps.
Greetings

Any time you do any processing on a 16bit file in 16 bit only it will degrade the audio slightly due to rounding of the calculations. Working in 32 bit floating point (Audition's default) takes account of all bits generated due to processing.
So it is always best to work in 32 bit, even if your originals were 16, all the way through until the last stage of saving the files for CD burning. Any losses due to conversion will be insignificant against those due to working 16 bit.

Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

Dear all,
Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
   if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
   --Photo is in a stack
        local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
        local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
        local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
        app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
        if stackPos == 1 then
        -- photo is master of the stack
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
             -- check if couple if correct
        elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
        else
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
        end
end
end
In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
I thank you for your Support!

    --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
    tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
    "photos". ]]
stackTopSet = {}
for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
    local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
    if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
    end
stackTops = {}
for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

Beginner Question: SA520 Admin access through WAN port

Dear all,
I've a beginner question regarding my brand new SA520: How can I configure the box so that I'm able to access the admin GUI not only through the LAN ports but also from the WAN ports?
I tried already to allow inbound traffic to the firewall's internal IP address (not sure if done right, so) and granted the admin user access profile from WAN and LAN: I can access the box from the LAN but not from the WAN. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
PS: Yupp, I know that it's not a good idea to expose a FW admin GUI to the WAN - but this is only a lab environment

Go to Administration -> Users.
click on the 'Edit User Policies' 'Login' button. It's there you can enable WAN access.

Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

Hi,
Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
It seems that when I use <p> - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
Many thanks!
Ivan Reshetilov
http://www.ivanreshetilov.co.uk

Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you. Have never heard of <pre> tags, use <p> tags. If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a <br> tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
If you add     &nsbp;    or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters. How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS. E.g.
p {
     margin:0;
     padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
This would place all text within <p> tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left. Hope this helps, good luck!
