Hi folks. I have some good news, and some bad news. Bad news: Nothing you do on the Set Top Box will affect the "tip of the day"That's my software that is making that pop up. Good news: It was accidently turned on in a recent release, and we have gonethrough and turned it back off. I know it's anoying, and we are very sorry wemade it. It was designed to help a user for the first time figure out how to use theXR11. It seemed like a good idea then. If you see it again, please post to this thread and I'll make sure we turn it offquickly. Apologies for that, Tom

Blank Tip of the day window

Hi all,
We have an odd happening in one of our video labs here at work. When launching AE CS3 (ver 8 i believe?) the tip of the day window pops up after the program launches, but it's blank. This happens on all but one of the machines in the lab. Nothing had been installed lately - and oddly was working up until late last night. I have been googling - searching this forum and only found one entry that was on the windows side and it was deemed an OS problem - i.e. no help
Some info before I launch into my troubleshooting actions:
all machines are the same
Mac OS 10.6.8 ( we can't upgrade any further as the instructor doesn't wan't to teach the latest version of Final Cut)
MacPro (4.1)
Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz
6 GB ram
OS Drive 500 GB drive
Here's what I've done
Re-installed the App hoping for a quick fix - no go
Unistalled (deleting all prefs) and re-installed - no go
Located an update and installed (8.02) - no go
located user prefs and deleted - no go
I'm at my wit's end and no relief seems to be in sight. I know I can't be the only one that's experiencing this - Basically we can't use the program at all once that blank tip screen pops up - all menus are greyed out and even AE's help is greyed out as well. We're forced to force quit the program to gain access to the machine again.
Help!
Thanks
Joe

Well, I work at a university - we don't have the budget to do the upgrade treadmil on all the software we try to support - we've got to work with what we have - I can see that I'm going to get no where with that type of attitude - no wonder why most universities are going to find alternatives to Adobe - just my 2 cents. I asked a question - I didn't need to be berated by a company that we've pumped tens of thousands of dollars over the years just to say well, screw you

Scripting a "Tip of the day" Text Box, Requesting Help!!

Hi there folks,
I need the help of an experienced scripter, I'm in the
process of creating a website and I need help with the Flash SWF
that will be on the Title Page.
When someone arrives on my site I want a small Text Box to show
a "Tip of the Day" or a Random Phrase in the swf on the homepage of
the website.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this and I cannot
find anything to help me in the Flash Support File either. Ideally
I'm looking for someone to post a sample script on this thread so I
can have a look at it and learn from it.
Any Help would be much appreciated!!

A quick and dirty way:
- In a new Flash document, make a Dynamic Text box (Text Tool
-> Properties -> Dynamic Text) on your stage
- Name it something you'll remember (example: 'my_text')
- Add the following actionscript (preferably in a new layer):
And that's it. This isn't the prettiest code, and hardly the
best. Your SWF will be slightly bloated because of the use of a
Button Component . Also, putting all your quotes inside the Flash
movie makes it difficult to add new ones (you'll have to recompile
every time you do) and will increase the movie's size. But it's a
start.

SQL Developer 1.5: Tip of the Day Request

If you have found a hidden gem or have a keystroke or short cut that you use all the time, and you can describe it in a few sentences or small paragraph, let us know and we'll add it into the SQL Developer 1.5 Tip of the Day.
You can send your tips to us in 2 ways: using this thread or by adding it to the Exchange. The useful thing about the Exchange is that you can see and vote on each others tips, but adding to this thread might be easier. (Please don't use this thread for bugs.)
This should be fun and useful too. The developer team can add things that we think you might need to know about, but you can add things you really use.
Thanks!
Sue

Tip-of-the-day in RH7?

Hello,
I've been looking for an answer to this for some time, but I
can't find one: Is there some way to have a "Tip of the day"
display in its own window when a CHM (or any HTML) help file is
called?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy
Often a Tip of the Day is presented using a special help file
that contains only tips. And your developer creates code that
manages it. But there are a few JavaScript solutions out there.
Perhaps check out the links below.

Printing Tip of the Day

Hello All,
My co-worker is beginning the process of learning RoboHelp
X5. He finds the Tip of the Day very useful, and prints the topic
daily. Can he print the entire Tip of the Day file? If so, how?
Cheers,

Hi CR01. Yes there is a way of them doing this. Navigate to
the Robohelp sub-directory where RH has been installed and you'll
find a file called TIPODAY.CHM. Now the trouble is that you can't
print multiple topics but if you could print them all one at a
time. Alternatively, decompile its contents using the HTML Help
Studio tool, create a new project, import the .HTM files, compile
and then print all the contents.

No tip of the day :'(

Ok well I installed xfce4 with the goodies but whenver I bootup, I get the tip of the day menu, but its empty! even if i click next nothing happens! this was never working, how can i fix it?

Did you search the forums?

Tip of the Day : Search within the log window

hi
Recently my JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.0.1) showed me a Tip of the Day about "Search within the log window", as shown in tip-of-the-day-search-log-window.png.
It read : "You can search within any of the contents of log windows. Click within the text of the window and click Ctrl+F. A search window appears so that you can enter your search criteria."
The tip also shows an image of a "Messages - Log" panel with a transparent "Search Messages Log" dialog on top.
If I try this on the "Messages - Log" panel, I get the transparent dialog. But if I try this on the "Running: DefaultServer - Log", I don't get the transparent dialog (although search seams to be possible if I just start typing after pressing Ctrl+F).
Not very consistent, or what exactly is the intended behaviour here?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

fyi
This seems to have improved in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 (see also log-search2-select.png in the context of forum thread "11.1.1.2.0 : log search : no match found").

App of the Day - pop up

For the last few days, I have been getting a pop up (overnight) thata dvertizes an app to download.
I haven't added any new apps, but a couple have been updated in that time frame?
This falls under the spam category in my opinion...
If anyone has a way to track which app this might be, let me know. I'l be trying to better note the issue going forward.
OS 7.1 on 9930 VZW
Thanks
We're all out here together...

I too have the same issue. I've not added any new apps but several have updated recently.
It's a pain having to keep clearing the screen but the bigger issue is the fact that it seems to be running the battery flat.
How do I remove it?
Thanks.

Tip of the Day for Big iMac Users

I really like the 24-inch iMac but sometimes the font size in messages and used
on certain web pages seem too small for my eyes. I don't remember where I read
the OSX tip but it is simple and works great
Hold down the "control" key and scroll up/down with the Mighty Mouse scroll
button.

Even better, Windoze has a "Large Fonts" setting for use on fine-pitch displays.
The 20"-24" IMacs and Cinema Displays are approx. 94 dpi, but most (all?) OS-X apps are setup for 72 dpi -- so, nearly ALL displayed fonts are 25% undersized. For example, Safari renders all fonts 25% smaller than the web page designer intended.
Rumor has it that Leopard will (finally!) fix this.

How to stop annonying app of the day popups

I have been unable to find a solution on line to stop the annonying app of the day pop-ups. Then are now even coming into my email. I removed all app access to my BB. I have the BB bold 9650. I've been waiting for the new devices, but if this keeps up, I may ditch the whole thing.
Solved!

Similar to what the others have said...
It is a specific free app you've downloaded, I don't know which one.
You'll need to completely delete that app from your BlackBerry, when you determine which it is.
The messages you're getting.. note the app publisher and and then compare that to the free apps you have installed.

Using OSX 10.6.8, recently been having popups, think it's adware/malware from MediaDownloader, one of the first pop ups to occur. The second pop up to occur was Trojanalert. Never had a virus on this computer. Please help remove.

I'm currently using OSX 10.6.8, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory. I am not able to upgrade the operating system, and the computer still has 67 GB of memory on the harddrive. I don't use it for anything very intense, mostly internet browsing. I was at a hotel over the weekend and connected to their free wifi. Once back home, two days later, I started receiving pop ups in Chrome. The first was MediaDownloader, so I assume that is the culprit. The second pop up to occur was Trojanalert. I looked through some online community forums and was pointed towards downloading and running AdwareMedic. My operating system does not support this program. Next I read up on how to examine libraries and extensions to find the issue. I'm not well versed in this, but I followed the directions and did not find any malicious looking extensions or items in the libraries. Before looking for the "thing" to remove, I backed up my computer as recommended.
I have never, to my knowledge, had a virus on this computer. I have never experienced pop ups, and I very rarely download any program, especially not software included with other programs.
Could someone recommend a virus/adware/malware utility that will find and remove this issue or provide me with a detailed set of instructions on how to find the issue and then correct it? Are there free online scans or removal tools that are trusted and could help? Also, if I should be posting this somewhere else, please let me know. I have not used this community tool much at all. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

First, thanks for the quick response. This is the website that I looked at and was trying to follow. There are no extensions listed in my Safari, and the only two in Chrome are: Google Docs and Java for Browsing. In Firefox the only extension is Garmin Communicator 4.1.0.
To the best of my novice ability I followed the directions to look at the libraries and have not found malicious things there either. As I cannot upgrade to 10.7, is there anything else I'm missing? Again, I've tried my best to locate the cause, but I'm new to looking at files and paths. Nothing jumps out as abnormal or as something listed on thesafemac.com/arg .

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!
