Save window starting point

hi all,
In 10.4, in the save window, when in column view, it would be possible to scroll back all the way to the root of the disk you where trying to save on.
but in 10.5, you are stuck at the the location of the last save. if you want to go back one folder(or more), you have to use the drop down menu at the top of the window, and it very time consuming. i was wondering if there is a way to have that setting back like it was in 10.4
here you can see on the picture what i'm talking about.
any help would appreciated.

You're original post wanted to go back to the root volume. For your new requirements, add the paths to Places. BTW, I've disabled the sidebar as I find it virtually useless, so I'm just guessing that you can do that via Finder->Preferences->Sidebar.

Can't fsck to get past hang at 'Login Window Starting' at start up

Someone in the OS X forum suggested I might try posting this here.
I have an old clamshell ibook that I upgraded (added more memory) in order to load OS X. After I loaded OS X 10.3 and started up, the updater told me that an update was available. I downloaded it and began the update...my battery died in mid update. Now when I start up, it gets to "login window starting" and stalls. I have tried Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk (nothing really to repair). I have used Disk Warrior and this tells me that my directory needs to be rebuilt, I have rebuilt it, restarted and the same thing happens. When I go back to disk warrior, it tells me the directory needs to be repaired and this just repeats.
I have tried a safe startup and the start up stalls at the same "login window starting" point. I have tried starting in single-user mode and I get a long pause, then alot of characters, but the cursor never allows me to type the fsck commands. I have tried resetting the Power Managment Unit (to no avail). One of the lines that shows up when I start up in single-user mode is in yellow and says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ApplePMU." Which I took to mean was a problem with the power management unit.
To make matters worse, I have only the original 3 gb hard drive in the ibook and therefore no space to install os x with an archived copy of the system's current software. I have tried resetting PRAM and I have shut down by holding the power switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Brian,
Alas, no...this is one of the original clamshells. I have found that I can force the ibook to start up from an old OS 9 install cd and see the hard drive on the desktop/access files, so I have saved my critical data to a usb removable drive. The crisis is averted and I'm thinking of trying to get back to OS X through a series of installs and updates starting with the OS 9 install disk. If this fails, I'll just do a clean install of OS X and reload everything.
Thanks, Chris

Windows Application Starting Point

Does a basic (and best practice) framework (or netbeans like project) exist for a java windows application that would include menuing and initial windows classes?
I have decided to create a application in java and it will be a windows gui application. I understand how to do this but it seems like this would be something someone else has already done. Kind of a starting point for an application. Does something like this exists? I searched online but didn't find anything. Maybe this is because I'm not sure what I'm asking for.

I haven't seen any nice GUI frameworks for Java, beyond what Java already gives you. It would depend somewhat on what the app does. And you have to decide if you want to use Swing or SWT. Based on a previous thread, it would seem there are also some GUI builder tools out there, if you don't want to hand code it, but they won't produce very nice code; they just help prevent you from having to write it yourself. If this is your first jump into Java GUI, here is a quick Hello World app I just threw together in using Swing; it's a starting point anyway, and might help you get going:
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class HelloWorld {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Code that affects the GUI should be run on the Event Dispatch thread;
          // Calling launchUI() using SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) takes care of this.
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    launchUI();
     private static void launchUI() {
          final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello World");
          JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World!");
          panel.add(label);
          panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(20, 20, 20, 20));
          JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
          JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
          JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("Exit");
          menuItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                    // This action will be fired when the Exit menu item is selected;
                    // firing off a Window Closing event is basically the same thing
                    // pressing the window close button in the corner does.
                    WindowEvent windowClosingEvent = new WindowEvent(frame, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING);
                    frame.getToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().postEvent(windowClosingEvent);
          menu.add(menuItem);
          menuBar.add(menu);
          frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
          frame.setContentPane(panel);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);     // this centers the frame
          frame.setVisible(true);
}

Get filename from Watched folder start point

I have a watched folder as a start point and I can use the
symbols %F and %E in order to save the output documents in the Result folder.
This is easy.
What I cannot do, is getting in a string variable the same filename in order to use it within the Process:
Is it possible?
I would like to exploit this filename to discriminate the activities that the file have to make...
Thanks you as usual!

thank you Jasmin, your answer is correct and now it works!
only I don't understand why my way didn't work...
Instead of a setValue, I used directly a INSERT SQL activity with getDocAttribute(/process_data/@docXML, "basename") as parameter: as is, it didn't work!
As you suggest, if I put a setValue between the Watched folder startpoint and the INSERT SQL activity (now with the populated string as parameter), it works...
Bah!
Thank you again!

Changing the Media Start point

So I just had a hard drive crash on me and I did not have back-ups of my footage. It's not to bad because I have back-ups of the project file I was working on. So all I was going to do is a Batch Capture to reconnect all of my clips. Only problem is the person I had capture the footage did not leave enough pre-roll when they did a capture now. So now when it tries to re-capture it says "Cannot locate specified timecode"
This is because there is not enough pro-roll on the clip to allow it to batch capture. When I look at the Media Start in the browser window for the clip it says it starts at 00:00:02:31. I need to change this to a later start so it does not try to roll the tape so far back. So.....
How do I change the Media Start Point???
Thanks

Ok, I am following you, I just need to make sure the clips in the edited timeline reconnect with the old master clip.
I could keep the old offline master clip and just make it reconnect to the new captured clip. But will this make all of my already edited clips in my sequence that are looking at the old master clip off by however many seconds I had to reset the in-point to get the tape re-captured?
Thanks for the tip on dragging clips to the L&C window, I did not know you could do that.

Movie start points in a session

In addition to my previous post, i have a problem with Movie start points and tempo changes as well. Please correct me if i am wrong but in Logic 7 it was possible to set a movie smpte point (say 10.20.17.22) as Bar 1 of the arrangement thus meaning you could write a piece for a 2 min extract of movie without having to lay the whole movie in place and skip to the point you were writing for (after all, that is the sole point of having a SMPTE time start function). In 7, when a tempo change or curve was applied, the arrange would take the SMPTE set at bar 1 as the start of the movie and thus the movie would not slip (i.e 10.20.17.22 = bar 1 period). However, trying to achieve the same function in Logic 8 doesn't seem to work. Any tempo changes to an arrangement slips the whole movie against the time line regardless of bar 1 position, it seems that Logic is taking into account the negative bars at the start of the arrangement (i.e @120bpm bar 1 = 10.20.17.22 but @140bpm bar 1 would become a different SMPTE point in the movie). I am slightly worried by this problem as it is one of the main functions i carry out professionally. If i can't a) write to picture accurately and b)change tempo without slipping an entire movie file then the whole function seems a bit of a waste of time.

Select all songs in the list, do Get Info, look at the bottom of the window and set Remember Position to No. Say OK.

New on Game Develop - I need a Start Point :)

Hi,
I know that this must be the topic most common, I develop applications to client/Server and I want to venture me in the development of a game (RPG). The problem is that I do not know where to start! Which are the class that I must use? Already exists some api in java to help me? If yes, which are they? The map, the players. I intend to make a basic game in 2d, as lufia (SNES), Final Phantasy VI (USA III - SNES). Which must be my starting point?
Thanks for all !

The beauty of Java is, pretty much everything you need is right there available.
There are other API's apart from the java standard, but I have not used any as of yet.
Java2D API is part of the standard edition java. It will handle transparency and everything else you may need to do an snesRPG clone.
Instance modeling will save you scads of time, make sure you know how to make and extend abstract classes, they will make your life easier, make sure you know how to time Threads properly.
The map will be a class, the class will actually serve as a sort of database for inividual tiles on the map. The class will be instanced from a 2 dimensional array with x and y values being the dimensions. You will need to have 3 or four layers of this map. The class will store the possition, image, and other important iformation about the individual tile.
You need to learn MediaTracker, you will most likely want to use AWT instead of Swing, you will need to learn how to use BufferedImage, etc.
Plan Plan Plan, and Plan more. RPG's are big projects, if you use linux, dia is your friend.
Work on little things like logic while you learn the other stuff you need such as Randoms, how to implement monsters and characters, and make them do battle, how to tell if they are dead, attacking, etc.
An RPG takes a very stubborn individual to successfully complete as one man project, if it doesn't work, there is a reason, find out what it is, and yes it has been done before in java. :-)
I have been assuming you are a good programmer, therefore I just scartched the surface for you to show you some of the things you need to plan for to get into game programming.

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
"an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
Any suggestions?

What to do on the message " AppleSyncNotifier.exe – Cannot find starting point of [sqlite3_wal_checkpoint] from DLL SQLite3.dll

컴퓨터를 부팅하면 다음 메시지가 나오네요 " AppleSyncNotifier.exe – 시작시점 sqlite3_wal_checkpoint을(를) DLL SQLite3.dll에서 찾을 수 없습니다."
Upon booting, I see the message " AppleSyncNotifier.exe – Cannot find starting point of [sqlite3_wal_checkpoint] from DLL SQLite3.dll

With that one, I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe Control Panel for Windows. Does that clear up the error?

Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen

Hello everyone
I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
HERE IS THE ISSUE
I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc)
It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display.
I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Leopard 10.5.4 and Appleworks Starting Points

I am a teacher and love using Appleworks 6.2.9 Starting Points Calendars but with my new Imac/Intel I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting that file cannot be converted to an Appleworks document. Can anyone give me information as to how to get this to work?

"I open AW, then go to File and plug down to Show Starting Points, click on it. Briefly I see the Starting Points box show up on the screen, then the screen shows up saying that file cannot be opened and do I want to report the problem to Apple. AW always quits at that point.
This is a far different statement from your original "I can't seem to get it [AppleWorks 6.2.9 Starting Points Calendar] to work. I keep getting that file cannot be converted to an Appleworks document."
If AppleWorks quits with a File cannot be opened" message while trying to open the Starting Points windows, that would indicate a problem with one of the files or folders in Starting Points. see below for some trouble-shooting steps.
I have tried to start up Calendar Asst from the hard drive list and it bounces me out and says cannot open file, do I want to report the problem to Apple. The error message is the same whether opening it from AW or the hard drive. "
This is normal behaviour. As I said earlier, the Assistants cannot be opened from the Finder, only from within AppleWorks. Trying to open an Assistant from the finder will result in the "cannot be converted" message you mentioned earlier. In AW 6, that means only from within Starting Points. (In the previous version Assistants and Templates were a menu item in the File menu.)
Trouble-shooting steps:
Qujit AppleWorks before each of these steps. At the end of each step, launch AppleWorks. If AW launches successfully, it indicates the problem lies within one of the folders/files removed during the step just finished; Go to "Successful launch?" If AppleWorks Quits with the same error message as before, continue with the next numbered step.
1
I would start with a maintenance step: Trash the contents of AppleWorks's Recent Items folder(s).
Go to Mac HD > Users > yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items. Drag all or most of the items in this folder to the Trash. (The items are aliases to the named files. Deleting them has no effect on the files themselves.) Close the Recent Items folder.
Create a New Folder on the Desktop. Name it AWUD, and drag all of the folders in AppleWorks User Data into the new AWUD folder.
2.
Create a New Folder, SP, on the Desktop. Go to Applications > AppleWorks 6 > Starting Points
Drag the first two folders (Assistants and Backgrounds) into the new SD folder.
3.
Drag the next two folders from Starting Points into SP.
4.
Repeat step 3 until all Starting Points folders have been moved into SP.
Successful launch?
Quit AppleWorks. Return the folders you moved in PREVIOUS steps to their original folders. Leave the items you moved in the most recent step in the folder where you put them. Launch AppleWorks.
A successful launch confirms the problem lies in one of the folders you removed in the most recent step.
Quit AppleWorks. Return one of the folders to its original folder. Launch AppleWorks. Repeat with the remaining folder(s) until AppleWorks quits as before.
Once you have located the folder containing the problem file, do a similar search of the files in that folder. Open the folder, drag half of the files it contains into one of the (now empty) new folders you created, then re launch AppleWorks. Put half the removed files back and launch again. Repeat until you locate the single file causing trouble.
If it's one that you do not use, trash it. If you do want to continue using it, it will probably be necessary to re-install AppleWorks from your original disks.

Barry

How do I correct iTunes v10.6 error when trying to create c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start MenuStart Menu folder

When I try to install v10.6 of iTunes for Win7, the installation is almost complete when I get an error "An error occured while attempting to create the directory: C/\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" I already have this folder installed with lots of data in it. I tried changing the name to "Start Menu 1" to fool the installer, but still received the error message.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

IMac purchased at garage sale help. Gets stuck at "Login Window Starting."

Hi all,
I recently purchased an iMac at a barn sale, and it turns on and everything, but then gets stuck at "Login Window starting" screen (http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt135/gpd2paul4/IMG_0251.jpg). When Goggling this problem, I see that I am not alone in thee problem, but I am alone in the fact that I don't even know what model it is (I think G3, but not sure), let alone have the original CDs or paperwork. I have tried holding 'shift' right after the startup chime to start up in safe mode, but it still gets stuck at "Login Window starting." I have attached a few pictures of the computer to help you veteran Mac users identify it, which might help you help me. Any help is appreciated. (Step-by-step instructions are best, I am good at using a Mac, but this is getting pretty technical.)

Hi,
Can anyone help how can be implemented Air application uninstall links in Windows start menu.
Thanks,

Thanks, In Windows 2000 it is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs".
One more doubt, How can I create Shortcuts using Java? I have tried to create desktop icons using following script.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/wsconcreatingshortcut.asp
Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath + "\\test.lnk");
link.Arguments = "1 2 3";
link.Description = "test shortcut";
link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X";
link.IconLocation = "app.exe,1";
link.TargetPath = "c:\\blah\\app.exe";
link.WindowStyle = 3;
link.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\blah";
link.Save();
But my Antivirus tool is not allowing this script to run using Java.
Is there any way to create DeskTop icons for Java application and add entry to Start Menu -- programs..?

RAM Preview in Background w/ Windows Start Button?

on this one project while doing a RAM preview on 1080p comp with complex particle systems (it was reeeeeally slow on my computer), i noticed that the windows start menu button in the bottom left corner didnt disappear, so i clicked on it and the video continued rendering the RAM preview in the background while i was able to do anything on my computer that i could access from the start Windows start menu. i'm assuming this was a very convenient glitch? the button disappears on renders of less information processing so i'm assuming this wasnt supposed to happen.
has anyone else heard of this happening? if so, is there a way you know of intentionally making this option, to use the start button while rendering RAM preview, available every time?
AE CS4
Windows 7 32bit
3.5gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8600 (256mb dedicated)
Intel core 2 duo 1.5ghz

i use other apps while after effects is open all the time, but i have never been able to use other apps while i have a RAM preview in progress, that is until i experienced this glitch thing. normally if it's doing a RAM preview, when i click on anything (or type on any key) it automatically stops the rendering and shows me the preview up to that point. is it normal to be able to use other applications while after effects is doing a RAM preview???
