Really Confusing Problem

Hi allI am new here and have joined because i have a really annoying problem. I bought a PS3 that had no hard drive or controllers. So I bought a new hard drive and installed it. Turned the console one and it said i had to format the hard drive and to do that i need a controller in order to select the various options.So i bought a cheap controller off Amazon and as it turns out it didnt have a cable but i found a normal mini usb cable and plugged that in to sync the new controller to the PS3 so i could format the hard drive and then install the software which i have sitting on a USB stick. However, the controller wont sync with the console (presumably because there is no software on the hard drive). So i am stuck in a never ending cycle of needing software to connect the controller and needing a controller to install the software. I called playstation support and they said i needed the original hard drive for the console (apparently a friends one wont work) or to give them £110 to resolve the issue. Can anyone help out? Will a non-wireless controller work or do they need to sync as well? And will using a friends PS3 to load the software onto my hard drive and then putting that into my console work?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

Java.io.NotSerializableException: java.awt.BasicStroke - really confusing

I have a class Box which has two member Size and Location, both Serializable.
Then I have several classes (e.g. Node) which extend Box.
None of all the classes (Box, Size, Location and all extensions of Box e.g. Node) use BasicStroke. I commented out the import of BasicStroke in all classes that are Serializable, so it cannot be used anywhere.
The problem is I use drag and drop, and when Box is also Serializable I get the following error when trying to drop:

I do not know how to better describe the error, because I have no clue why BasicStrokes is tried to serialize at all. I am really confused, but perhaps somebody has seen something similar and can give a hint.

Thanks for the hint. Actually I must say once more that I was too tired that I have overseen a memeber field because of bad code layout :-( I better went to sleep...
But there is still something confusing, that is also the reason why I did not search for the fields in the right class.
So I have a class Box and a class Node which extends Box. Node is the one which contains the evil AWT references. When I declare only Node as Serializable, it works. But when I also declare the super class Box as Serializable the error occured.
In my opinion a Serializable sub class with a super class which does not implement Serializable does not make sence, but as an accident I did it. What is the semantic in such a case? (At least I know it could not serialize the sub class as expected...)

Welcome Mia.
You are likely to leave us even more confused unless you give us the tools with which to help you!
What computer do you have?
What operating system?
Size of Hard disk, and how much space still available?
Amount of RAM?
What kind of file are you trying to download?
To what application are you trying to download it?
Do you have iMovie and iDVD?
What version of Quicktime do you have?

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue

Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Starting to like it...but, really confused concerning ingest. Need thoughts.

I have made the switch from 7 to X and will remain committed to X but I really need some help understanding bringing media in. First some background on my workflow and media type.
I shoot with the JVC 700U camera in 720p. The format is XDCAM EX at 35 mbps. I produce a football highlight program which is an hour in duration. Been doing this for over twenty years and have made a decent living at it. It is broadcast on local cable and streamed on the web.
Here is what I really need to understand before I can feel comfortable with X. I bring in the footage from an SDHC card. Do I optimize the media? Someone said that even if I check that box that FCP X will not transcode that media if it doesn't need to. Really confused on that. I have found that I should not analyze the media for shake. That takes forever! Now, If FCP X does not transcode, why is the file a ProRes 422 when I export the timeline? Confused again. And, that 422 master ofcourse is huge. I would really appreciate if I could get some folks help me on this.
Also, I used to export a reference movie in FCP 7. That made things quicker when encoding to H.264 file for the web using Compressor. No more ref movie?
Like I said earlier, the interface is starting to grow on me but I really need to fully understand the ingest process.
Thanks for any and all input. ( pardon the pun )
Cheers.
Tom

Checking the box for optimize media transcodes all imported media to ProRes 422. This is desirable if you have an underpowered machine or a lot of difficult to handle formats. Leaving the box unchecked will only transcode media that FCP X can't play natively.
In the first case, FCP X will allow you to work with the native files until the transcode is complete. Then it will seemlessly switch the links over to the Pro Res files. Transcoding takes place in the background but you'll be unable to quit FCP X until it's finished, or you suspend it. The only time it doesn't transcode is if the original file is already Pro Res.
When you export from FCP, you have several options. If you want a full raster master export, you can use the Export Movie option (CMD+E) to export as Pro Res or H264. If the project wasn't transcoded, you'll also have options for the codec that you were editing in. For example, if you were cutting DVCProHD footage, you would have that as an option in the Export Movie presets.
Otherwise, you can choose: Send to Compressor for all other compression formats. Send to Compressor creates a reference file and loads it automatically into Compressor. Then you can apply whatever preset you wish and transcode it. Then go back to Final Cut and continue editing.
Do not use the Export with Compressor Settings choice as it will tie up FCP X while it's transcoding (unless you hit the Send to Compressor button in which case it's the same as the above choice).

*Really confused* on how to install Vista 64 using BC

OK, so I'm now proud owner of a "Harpertown" model Mac Pro Quad Core 2.8, and I want to install Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on it. I have read that you can definitiely install this Windows OS on this model of Mac.
I have three components here – I've installed and upgraded to 10.5.3, and I have a copy of Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 in my Utilities folder. I just picked up a Vista Ultimate x64 full install disc (don't have the x32 disc). And now I'm downloading Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows Vista 64.
The thing is, I remember reading that I needed the 2.1 update to have the right drivers to install x64. But the 2.1 update is an exe file, meaning I need to have Windows installed already to use it.
Now I'm really confused – can somebody explain to me (or point me to a web page that does this) how to install an x64 version of Vista using Boot Camp? Do I need anything else other than BC Assistant 2.0, BC Update 2.1 for Windows Vista 64, and the Vista x64 full-install disc?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hey, it worked!
I was worried that the installation wouldn't work unless I had the correct drivers in place before I even started, but I guess that wasn't the case.
For anybody who runs across this message in a future search, I recommend the the Boot Camp Installation pdf, which cleared up a lot of confusion for me:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/BootCampInstall-Setup.pdf
What I hadn't realized is that what's on the Mac side is Boot Camp Assistant and that Boot Camp proper is a Windows program. The Boot Camp 2.1 Update would be run after installing Boot Camp from the Leopard CD ("Step 3" in the above manual).
I really like Vista, BTW – its the first Windows OS where I actually like the look and feel of it ("look" and "feel" being one reason I generally stick with Mac OS), so thanks to Hatter for recommending it. Still sticking with Mac OS as my mainstay, but its really nice to have both.

Connecting via Airport express: really annoying problem

I've got a really annoying problem that doesn't make much sense. Have an airport express and my network seems to work OK mostly. My iBook can always connect, never any problem. My eMac however is behaving bizzarely. The longer I'm connected, the worse my connection gets. Until it stops working altogether and I can't access the internet at all. System preferences tells me the Airport card is on, but is not connected to a network. Can still connect to it with the iBook.
Shut down, leave it a good while (a good while too, a short shut down doesn't do it), and it works again.
I can't even think where to start looking, all I can think of is that I have a problem with the Airport card in the eMac (something getting hot in there perhaps). Any ideas?

Thanks,
I'm pretty sure the card is seated properly (it works most of the time after all). I couldn't get it to work when I installed it because it wasn't seated properly, I pushed it in as far as it could possibly go and it has worked since (except after extended periods of use). The Airport express is three feet from the eMac with only a couple of bits of wood between them. The connection does not go down at times which I can link with the use of any particular appliances (When the eMac stops working, the iBook is always fine, even in a similar position). It is the apparently time-dependent aspect that I can't figure out (I only notice it on those, fairly infrequent, occasions when I am online for a few hours at a time). The eMac discussion group is a good tip. Ta.

Really really annoying problem with slooooow Adress Book

I have a really, really annoying problem with Address Book.
Ever since I connected it with the MobileMe service it has this problem, and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried logging out and back into the MobileMe service, resetting the sync history etc., but to no avail.
Each time I open the application it freezes for about 5 to 10 seconts, then that blooming annoying, Windows reminiscent, rotating rainbow circle appears for about a minute at a time. Then it goes away and the application works..........that is until try something demanding like adding a new group or changing a group name, then it starts over. It is making the Address Book almost unusable and very un-Mac-like.
Can someone please help???

Try deleting this plist:
(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
As well, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatibl

Really, really weird problem involving iPhone and Exposé

Hey Mac users, try to figure this one out, this started happening to me today:
My iPhone is rarely near my Mac Pro, but today I set it on top of my Mac Pro to let it charge. When it's connected to the Edge network, and there's network activity, I get the usual "beepbeepbeep" through my system's speakers, except now there's a twist. Whenever I hear the network activity interference, Exposé on my Mac Pro flips out, and acts as if I pushed the "Show/Hide Desktop" button a whole bunch of times. It stops when the activity stops.
It's not reproducible all the time, and only happens every once in a while. But it definitely only happens during Edge network activity. I've never gotten it while in 3G or Wifi modes.
I am guessing that the Edge signal is interfering with my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, or something. I don't have any keys mapped to "Show Desktop," though.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear it. This isn't a really big problem, I just keep my phone away from my Mac Pro now.

If you go into settings - general - about it will give you the version, the latest one is 2.0.1. Updating your phone may solve the problems. Failing that, take it to your nearest Apple store for advice.
