Serious trouble with Videora!!!!!!!!

I have been using videora and it works fine for movies of about the length of 20 to 60 minutes but if I convert 2 hour movies or music videos that I downloaded from a website then after conversion slowly the video starts to come before the sound or vice versa. I really need help. What should I do???????

Have you ever tried a program called iSquint? I have had no trouble whatsoever with that program for putting videos into iPod format and then adding them to my iPod. I'm not familiar with Videora, but you should give iSquint a shot if you haven't already. It's freeware.

Serious troubles with my WRT110 router

Hello! This problem all started when I upgraded the machine I'm typing this on to Windows 7 Ultimate. No matter what I did, it would not connect to the existing network. I finally found a way to get it to connect by entering the router's PIN number, but it effectively created an entirely new network. My problem lies here. I can create new open networks just fine, but if I try to create an encrypted network it will not work -- the computer won't even detect the router. I need an encrypted network because I'm required by law to have one in my line of work, and I have no idea how to set it up. The network is comprised of this machine I'm using, a Macbook, and a TiVo DVR, as well as my laptop which is in for repairs. I might also add that I'm having trouble with the software that came with the router. Ideally, I'd have a secure network with an easily memorable password so other machines can join. I have spent many hours on this and I'm truly at a loss, and some step by step instructions would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks in advance,
~Eric
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. You should always access the web interface through a wired connection. Through a wireless link you may accidentally configure the router of your neighbor. And of course you should also never make changes on the wireless settings through a wireless link. Thus, always use a wired connection only for this purpose.
2. It does not affect your network as it is. It only changes the router configuration. If you change the wireless configuration of the router it will, of course, affect all existing wireless links to the router (if any).
3. You should not choose a "easily memorable password". That's always a bad idea. The wireless passphrase is usually only entered once on each wireless device to establish the connection to the router. The wireless device usually remembers the passphrase. Thus it is better to choose a very strong passphrase, e.g. a random generated longer passphrase. That is much more secure.

Having serious troubles with clips on timelines. Any thoughts?

So, I'm having some serious issues with the timelines in Premiere. It's making it impossible to do any work.
Sometimes it shows clips where they definitely aren't, and then I'll click on them and then it will remember they aren't there.
Sometimes when I scroll left or right or up or down in the timeline, the clips just hang.
And other super screwy things. See the video below.
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
Updated MacOS
Updated Premiere CC 2014 to the latest version
Cleared the media cache, both with the button inside premiere and manually
I can't copy everything into a new project, because I'm collaborating with others on this project by saving it to a Dropbox folder and we all take turns opening it. Neither of them are having these issues, and my computer is actually more powerful than theirs.
I'm using a latest-gen MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz with 8GB of RAM and a solid state drive.
Any thoughts?

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Trouble with Videora Converter

I tried using the videora iPod Converter and it got stuck on the Transcoding step. It says it is 100% done but it keeps going, and adding frames. Any idea how long this takes, or if i should just start over?

Check out this link http://www.pspvideo9.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2705
The relevant section states:
Progress meter incorrect
Problem - During transcodes, the progress meter can be incorrect; thus, transcoding continues after the meter hits 100% and time remaining is zero. People have been seeing this more often with VOB files and/or the H.264 codec.
Workaround - Figure out the length of your movie in seconds and compare that to the 'Processed' field. A 2-hour movie will not finish until Processed hits 7200 seconds.

Serious trouble with syncing

A few weeks ago I've discovered that my 8G Nano won't sync after I plug it in, it will just freeze and do nothing - it will sync automaically when it's first plugged in, but if I want to sync it again I have to unplugg it and then plugg in again.
And today it converted all my music to a select playlist because I had no free space, and now I can't reset or restore it. It says that "all playlists no longer exist" and everytime I unplugg it and plugg in again, the settings will be just the same, with the select playlist.
What can I do??

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Well, I have it turned on, if that's what you mean. On both the phone and the computer (when phone is hooked up) I have the message that the last time I synced was 9/17/13. Every once in a while, while charging the phone overnight, with wireless on, I get a message saying that in order for iCloud backup to work the phone must be plugged in and connected to a wireless network. Apparently there is a failure to communicate with the mother ship, despite my following instructions.
My suspicion is that this failure is related to the failure to sync with iTunes, but I'm just guessing.

Serious trouble with new iPod - maybe you can help?

Please help if you can. 15 hours into troubleshooting this and I am desperate!!!
I just purchased a new 5th-gen, 60GB ipod. I already have a 1st gen, 10GB iPod. My old iPod is presently working great with no problems.
The new iPod, however, is not being recognized by my computer or by iTunes. And when I try to plug it in, iTunes freaks. It will stop playing music and freeze on me.
Here is what happened:
1. I knew I had the latest iTunes & iPod software on my computer, so rather than running the CD that came with the iPod, I just plugged in the iPod.
2. When I did so, the computer recognized it as a new device and attempted to (I assume - not sure) install a driver for a while. This went on for about an hour, something seemed wrong, so I disconnected the iPod.
3. At this point, connecting it always has the same behavior. It flashes "don't disconnect". ITunes freezes. Windows Explorer does not recognize or acknowledge its existence.
Here is what I have tried to do:
1. I first tried installing from the CD. This installed an older version of iTunes on my computer. This did not help matters and stopped my current iPod from working.
2. I troubleshooted this and managed to fix my old iPod by uninstalled all iTunes and iPod versions from my computer and reinstalling all of the latest bits.
3. I have doublechecked my USB ports to ensure they are USB 2.0.
4. I have tried restarting my iPod in file mode to see if the computer will recognize it then. No dice.
5. I have tried an iPod reboot, obviously.
6. I have restarted my computer innumerable times.
My gut says this is a driver issue, but I'm not remotely qualified to troubleshoot that. Can anyone help?
gateway Windows XP

Hey, I've got a few questions for you. 1. What kind of computer are you using? (ie: laptop, desktop, whatever else there is..) 2. Have you ever had the 5th Gen. working on you're computer? 3. Have you tried you're 5th Gen. on another computer which, in the past, has detected an iPod?
Done with questions for now I believe. Here's my story. My girlfriend got her iPod (5th Gen.) in April and right when she got it, she hurried over to my house because she's "technologically incompetant". Booted up my Alienware (now an artifact after being purchased new around 1998-2000) and installed all the gadgets just like the instructions said. After finishing all that, I slapped the iPod into a USB2.0 port and WindowsXP detected, found, and installed the driver for the iPod. I used iTunes to put about 500MB's of songs on there then sent her off with her new WORKING (at the moment) iPod. A few weeks later, I guess when she killed the battery, she tells me that her iPod isnt working.
Long story short...
She's using a brand new Dell Inspiron [some number and letters here] laptop computer with WindowsXP.
I did everything exactly as you had described in your first post. Few things are different, her computer has never detected the iPod, WindowsXP never found or installed a driver. When her iPod is plugged into her computer, the iPod either brings up a little battry with a lightening bolt (like it's charging) or brings up the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. After a few hours of leaving it like that and I unplug the iPod, it hastn't gained any charge. I checked to make sure everything, ie: plug and play, were all working correctly and all that good stuff; however, one thing phases me. I took her iPod back to my house and tried it on the computer that had the player working before. After a minute of plugging it in, it was detected and I could add or remove songs using iTunes, in other words: IT WAS WORKING.
I would like to see some kind of solution to our problem (which I believe to be the same) so that I don't have to drive an hour away to the only iPod (Mac) store around to replace it (luckily it is still on the warranty).
If you make any progress, please let me know.
Thanks.

Serious trouble with permissions and ownership

My archive/install/Migration Assistant upgrade to Leopard has turned into a nightmare concerning 'ownership' of my files and hard drives.
To make a long story short, after many many problems wherein files and drives were 'owned' by me but unaccessible to me (often with two ownership qualities attributed to me- one "Read & Write" and the other "Custom", a situation I could not edit or change) I restarted with the installer disc and repaired permissions on my Leopard startup partition. It took several hours and went through thousands of files identifying "ACL" problems.
Now all my drive icons except for my startup disc have locks on them and I can't write to them even though I supposedly have permission. Carbon Copy Cloner fails to copy to the locked drives*.
This situation now obtains EVEN WHEN I BOOT IN TIGER: my drives have little lock icons on them. I thought I could revert to Tiger to fix this, but apparently I'm stuck. I need to know how to "unlock" my drives (and eventually return to Tiger).

Trouble with UTF-8 and PHP-OCI

Hi there!
I'm having some serious trouble with UTF-8. I just tried to insert a lambda into an NCLOB column in one of my databases and it was converted to an inverted question mark. I have verified that the string reaches my PHP script correctly encoded. Also selecting RAWTOHEX(column) in SQL Developer shows, that the inverted question mark is already stored in the column. So the problem must be somewhere between PHP-OCI and the database. Inserting a lambda via SQL developer works. I can also correctly fetch it via PHP.
I'm using the latest PHP-OCI (2.0.8). v$version says "Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production".
The database is fairly old and uses WE8MSWIN1252 as the character set and AL16UTF16 as the NCHAR character set. Hence I'm using NCLOB instead of CLOB. However, I connect to the database with AL32UTF8, since my app is running in UTF-8. I was under the impression that this would result in an automatic conversion from UTF-8 to UTF-16 when inserting into NCLOB columns, but apperently this is not the case. It looks like there is some sort of double conversion, first UTF-8 to WE8MSWIN1252 and then to UTF-16, because some non-ASCII characters like ä (a umlaut) get correctly converted from UTF-8 to UTF-16.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here. Thanks in advance.

PHP OCI8 doesn't support NCLOB or NVARCHAR2.
See NCLOB support in OCI8

Trouble with iPhoto after latest update for compatibility with RAW-files

Hi all, I'm having serious trouble with iPhoto since the latest update for compatibility with RAW-files for digital fotocamera's (version 2.4).
After connection with the camera iphoto starts up as usual and i can start importing my pictures. So far all goes well. After having imported my pictures (visual with thumbs and so one) and having created an event iPhoto isn't able to show any pictures. Stopping and restarting Iphoto gives a message that there are a number of photo's available that havent been imported yet (!!???). I can choose to import or ignore. Whatever i choose i'm not capable of visualising the photo's.
Anyone with a similar problem and the solution? Can i remove the update?
I've tried several camera's all with the same problem.
thx for any replies
niki001

Hi Terence, thanks for the reply (i'll wait with the downgrade for now ;-p).
I made a small step by step report of my findings:
1. Attach camera to imac
2. iPhoto starts up with previews of the pictures (so far so good)
3. Give event-name and start import ( so far so good)
4. 'Latest Import'-report all fine, previews ok, check with event : previews fine. All seems well
5. disconnect camera, stop iPhoto. As far as now all seems normal.
6. Restart iPhoto : Message 'iPhoto Library contains photo's which havent been imported. Import Y/N?'.!!!???
7. Option Y : IPhoto imports photo's imported in step 3 in a new event box (shown as a 'black box' on screen). Last made event (step 3) shows up as a black square in overview all events. Double click on event gives empty squares where previews should appear. Double click on photo preview gives large explanationmark on screen.
8. Drag event-box over screen shows thumbs within square, release event returns to 'black box'.
9. Shut down iPhoto.
10. Restart iPhoto jumps back to step 6 as long as i keep answering Y.(Each time creating a new extra 'black box event').
11. When i now look within iPhoto Library i can find a map Import in which i can find back the last imported photo's from step 3.
12. Dragging these pictures to my desktop (preview gives no problem at all) and from there back in to iPhoto simply recreats a new 'black box event'.
13. In step 6 option N gives a message 'creat iphoto Library recovered'. In iPhoto Library map Import has disapeared.
14.When looking into map 'iphoto Library recovered' i can find my originally iported photo's. However same problem as in step 12.
I used aperture (trial version) to see wether the problem could be photo-related, but here al goes well.
So, any idea's???
thx

Serious problem with my iPod Classic/iTunes

I have a 6th Generation iPod classic (80 GB), and recently, I have been having some serious problems with it.
When I connect it to iTunes, there is usually no problem, it shows up, plays and displays the music correctly, etc. However, if I try to ADD any music to it, iTunes will freeze, then close, and within 5 minutes, my entire computer will freeze completely, and be shut off. For whatever reason, happen when my iPod finally disconnects because my computer turned off, all of my music is missing from the library (This doesn't happen every time it freezes, because I try to disconnect my iPod manually before everything freezes). The music is still on the iPod, (it says that I have XX.X GB of "other" instead of music/videos), but it doesn't show up. When I plug in my iPod, iTunes says that there was a problem and I need to restore it. The first time this happened, I lost over 5,800 songs, but I forgave Apple, because these things do occasionally happen, plus I had no idea what exactly went on. The SECOND time happened within the same week, after I had put 800 songs back on the restored iPod. The first time happened when I was using iTunes 10 (which is seriously buggy on my computer, and freezes often), so I switched to iTunes 9 (still buggy, but doesn't freeze quite as much), and the same thing happened. So now I'm thinking it's my iPod's fault. My iPod does a whole host of minor problems over time such as making certain songs cut off at a certain specific point for no reason (Always the same song, always the same cut off point, and I can't fast forward past it, I also can't delete the songs because if I highlight them on iTunes, iTunes will freeze, and if I find them under the music folder in iPod control, my computer will freeze), freezing the entire iPod for seemingly no reason, and somehow messing up my album artwork (it will appear as "Colourful Static"), along with alot more.
I know this is a troublesome problem, but if anyone could somehow shine some light on this problem, it would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you
-Eric Luna

Unfortunately, when a hard drive starts clicking that means it's going bad. The mechanism is having trouble reading the drive. Since the iPod is mostly just a harddrive and a battery I have a feeling that this is your problem.
watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMm6c3fr-fU
about 25ss in is where the clicking starts. If it sounds like that, but softer and more muffled since it is a smaller drive that is being enclosed then I think you might be SOL. Maybe if you're iPod is still under warranty you can get a credit and go for a touch and avoid moving parts all together?

Trouble with Benq DC C 700 digital camera on Satellite L30 105

Hello
I'm having trouble with my digital camera when I connect it to my laptop. Every time I connect the camera the laptop freezes and gives me the blue screen of death, that is, the screen you get when a fatal error occurs, and then my laptop has to be rebooted. So this happens each and every time I connect the two.
I've tried updating the bios and installing the latest drives but nothing seemed to work. I've contacted the support center at Benq and they told me to contact Toshiba as they are pretty sure the problem is not with the camera. So please anyone, if you have any ideas and or suggestions/solutions I'll be glad to hear them out.
Thanks!

Hi
First of all if you need the Toshiba support you have to contact the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. This forum here is only a user-to-user forum and you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
Secondly;
It seems the Satellite L30-105 was delivered with Vista. Do you use this OS on the L30?
I have read about many issues with the 3rd party devices, software and Windows Vista.
I dont know what the guys told you but possibly the webcam software is not 100% compatible with Vista.
You should know that the BSOD appears if there is a serious software or hardware problem. I dont think that this issue was caused by a hardware problem and therefore there is only one possibility; software compatibility issue.
In you case I would update the Vista to the latest state and would ask the webcam manufacture if its 100% compatible with Vista.
Good luck

Has anyone had trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button lately?

Hi gang. Since v29 came out, I have been having trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button.
Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times.
Has anyone else had any problems? I use an add-on called
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mclickfocustab/?src=collection&collection_id=33bf10fa-666d-45a2-9bc9-491ce21671c6 MClickFocusTab]'''''
I disabled it but the problem was still there.

''''' "Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times." '''''
Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. <br />
Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

I am having trouble with disk space,

I am having trouble with disk space, I am always getting the error message that I need to delete files on my start up disk, I am all out of space. I cant even save a file to my desktop without getting the message, Is there a way I can free up space. I am not very computer savvy, being a pensioner I cannot afford expensive options. I was familiar with the old apple imac, but I was given a macbook pro for my birthday, and am trying to work it out. I use it mostly for photos and web.

Jillian,
I'm assuming this is a second-hand machine. If it is brand new, get it to Apple because it's their problem, not yours.
First thing you should do is go to Programs: Utilities: Disk Utlity and choose "Repair Permissions." If you don't have the OS X system disk (a DVD) go ahead and verify the Disk. It can't fix itself, so to speak, but can tell you if there is a problem. iIf you have the OS X system disk then boot off the disk, go to Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk. Assuming all is OK:
You don't need to download any programs to get started on figuring out why all your space is gone. Try this first:
Oh, when deleting, especially at first, you may have to move only small folders or even files, of 100 MB or so to the trash, then empty the trash. As the free space increases, you can trash progressively larger files. To delete files, the computer needs to create even more files to tell it what files it is deleting before it deletes them. I know, go figure.;)
It would not be a bad idea, and is in fact a very good idea, to run the disk utility "Repair permissions" after every half-dozen trash/empty trash cycles and then restart the computer.
The basic plan is to search for unreasonably sized folders.
From the Finder:
Open a window, click in the window and then:
Go to menu item View. (If you click on the desktop instead of a window, you'll get a different set of view options, none of which is the one you want.)
Click on it and move the cursor to the bottom choice, Show View Options (alternative Apple (Command)-J). Make sure the checkbox "Calculate all sizes" is checked. If it isn't, check it and then click on "Use as default" When checked, it will show you the size of a folder. If it was unchecked, don't be surprised if nothing seems to be happening as it will take awhile for the computer to calculate the size of, literally, thousands of folders. But some will start to show up right away. If you open a new window and don't see any folder sizes, Repeat the Show View Options routine above and if Calculate all sizes is checked, just wait.
I've heard you Aussies enjoy a beer or two. If your Mac has to calculate all the folder sizes, this might well be a good time to have a cold one or two, as it will take some time.
Go to the root level, which is "Computer" or "_Your Disk Name_," generically Macintosh under Devices in the sidebar.
Make sure you are in list view and can have the size column visible. Click on it (turns blue-grey) and it will sort by size, large to small or the reverse. Click again to reverse the sort order.
On my 10.6.8 machine, I have
98 GB under Users.
22 GB under Applications. If you only have the Apple-supplied applications, you probably have between 4 and 6 GB here.
Library is 24.5 GB
System is 4.6 GB
Other than a few trivially small files or folders, that should be about it for the root level.
If you have two System files, you shouldn't, and will need to get rid of one. Ask for advice before deleting one or the other. If you have a, "Previous System," or "Old System," -- can't remember the language, you can proably safely delete it if you are satisified with how your computer is working.
The Library is a candidate for bloat. Some applications, especially those that manipulate audio or video, store the bulk of their code, generally resources of one type or the other, in the Application Support folder. For instance, I have a 10.5 GB folder of Live Type in my Application Support folder. Honestly, I don't know what program it is for, but don't care because I upgraded to a 3/4 TB drive. In contrast, on my 10.7.1 computer, which has little more than the Apple supplied software on it at this point, uses only 1.5 GB for Application Support. The support folders will remain even if the program itself is deleted. As a general rule, I wouldn't bother checking out anything under 300 MB or so. Any folders over that, you should note for possible deletion _but_ be sure to ask someone with more knowledge about this what it is used for before deleting. If it is used for some program that isn't on your machine, meaning the program has been deleted, you can safely delete it. If the program is still on the machine, decide if you will use that program and, if not, delete the program and its application support files.
My next largest folder in the Library is Audio at 2.7 GB. I have audio editing programs, so that makes sense. You probaby have one also, but shouldn't be over 500 MB or so.
Next is Printers at 1.4 GB. This is a good place to clear up space. You'll see folders with various printer brands. Do you have a Brother printer? No? Trash it. Just keep the folder with your printer brand and the PPD folder and trash the rest. If you want to get real fancy, open your brands folder and delete the files for every model other than the one you have.
My next largest is Fonts at 490 MB. Leave that alone. In fact, unless Fonts is something insane like 2 GBs, stop deleting from the Library.
Go to Users. There could be between one and more than one user. (Fudge of an answer there.) There is no such thing as a guideline for user folder size. Is there a previous user? If so, check with them and see if you can delete it. I have a "dummy" administrative - level user that can be used for some esoteric rescue operations and it takes up a trivial 33 KB or something like that while my own account is pushing 100 GB.
You'll see several folders, Music, Pictures, Desktop, etc. This is stuff you or the previous user have created. If you don't want it, delete it. You will also see, aha! another Library folder. There shouldn't be many folders over 100 MB here except for Mail and our friend Application Support. I get a lot of mail, rarely delete any, and have carried it over from 10.3 and measures out at 3.7GB. Still, if its someone elses mail and you don't want it, you can delete it, but again, check with more knowledgable people as there are probably some files and folders you absolutely should not delete, others that you should delete from within Mail, and some you can manually delete.
My Application Support Folder weighs in at 1.4 GBs, of which 1.2 GBs is for Final Vinyl. That's a lot. Sneaky sucker stored some untitled audio files in there. Bye! OK, now the Application Support folder is down to 145 MB. So, I'd say anything much over that should be investigated for possible deletion. Close up Library and move on.
Downloads may be very small or very large. Depends on how meticulous the previous user was in deleting or moving to a more appropriate location. Ask them if there is anything they want, and if no, delete it.
My Application folder has Zero KB because I always install at the root, administrative level. If there is anything there, figure out if you want to use it or not. If not, trash it.
Overall:
1) Don't sweat the small stuff. The days are long gone when searching a hard drive for a 100 K file to delete is worthwhile.
2) Start small. A disk that full is going to be pretty touchy, so once you have identified a bloated folder, go inside of it and trash the smaller files and folder, then empty the trash, then delete a few more files, empty the trash, etc.
3) Don't forget to periodically Repair Permissions and restarting the computer.
4) If you are unsure about whether a folder or file can be safely deleted, ask someone knowledgable or just knock off for the day and hit it again tomorrow. Seriously, an unanswerable question you have might well be answered by sleeping on it and attacking it the next day.
5) As Douglas Adams wrote: DON'T PANIC!
Best of luck!

Need serious help with JSP + JDBC/Database connection

Hey all,
I have to build an assignment using JSP pages. I am still pretty new and only learning through trial and error. I understand a bit now, and I have managed to get a bit done for it.
I am having the most trouble with a Login Screen. The requirements are that the a form in a webpage has Username/Number and Password, the user clicks Login, and thats about it. The values for the username/number and password NEED to come from the database and I cannot manage to do this. The thing I have done is basically hardcode the values into the SQL statement in the .jsp file. This works, but only for that one user.
I need it so it checks the username/number and password entered by the user, checks the database to see if they are in it, and if so, give access. I seriously am stuck and have no idea on what to do.
I dont even know if I have made these JSP pages correct for starters, I can send them out if someone is willing to look/help.
I have setup 3 other forms required for the assignment and they are reading data from the db and displaying within tables, I need to do this with non-hardcoded values aswell. Im pretty sure I need to use for example 'SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE username= +usrnm' (a variable instead of username="john" , this is hardcoded), I just CANNOT figure out how to go about it.
Its hard to explain through here so I hope I gave enough info. A friend of mine gave some psuedocode i should use to make it, it seems ok to follow, its just I do not know enough to do it. He suggested:
get the username and pass from the env vars
open the db
make an sql (eg SELECT user, pass FROM users WHERE user = envuser)
index.jsp points to login.jsp
login.jsp get the vars you put into index.jsp
opened the db
is the query returns nothing - then the user is wrong
OR if the passwords dont match
- redirect back to index.jsp
if it does match
- set up a session
- redirect to mainmenu.jsp
Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,
Try this... it may help you...
mainMenu.jsp
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="login.jsp">
Username: <input type="text" name="cust_no">
<p>
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="LOGIN">
</form>
</body>
</html>
login.jsp
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.sql.*"%>
<html>
<body>
<%
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:rocky");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT cust_no, password FROM customers WHERE cust_no='";
query += request.getParameter("cust_no") + "' AND password='";
query += request.getParameter("password") + "';";
ResultSet resSum = statement.executeQuery(query);
if (request.getParameter("cust_no").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("cust_no") && request.getParameter("password").equalsIgnoreCase(resSum.getString("password"))
%>
<h2>You are logged in!</h2>
<%
else
%>
<h2>You better check your username and password!</h2>
<%
}catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
System.err.println(cnfe);
}catch (SQLException ex ){
System.err.println( ex);
}catch (Exception er){
er.printStackTrace();
%>
</body>
</html>
I didn't check the code that I wrote. So you may have to fix some part of it. Also this may not be the best solution, but it will help you to understand the process easily.
The more efficient method is to check whether the result set returned from the database is null or not.... I hope you got the idea... Good luck!

Help! I'm having trouble with images on my web page.

I'm trying to create a page with a bunch of my photos but I need the photos broken up into groups so I can discuss the different groups. So I simply cut and paste the photo area several times BUT now when I click on any picture in any group it only does a slideshow for the last group of photos.
I guess I could simply break the single page into multiple pages but that is so inconvenient in iWeb since it doesn't let you cut and paste template pages! Apple needs to seriously fix this shortcoming. How can you not allow cutting and pasting of pages??
Here's the page I'm having trouble with:
http://photo.braintransplants.com/Site/Astronomy.html
Thanks!
PowerBook G4 17 (A1085) 1.5 GHz / 1.5 GB RAM / 128 MB VRAM / 80 GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.2)

You probably realise by now that you're attempting to do things with iWeb which it just wasn't intended to do. Cutting and pasting the photo grid area just won't work as you want it to. To work within iWeb's limitations might i suggest that you use the 'nesting' approach described in several posts here already. Use a single representative image on your main page for each of the situations you want to cover, and link each of these to an appropriate Photo page which has 'Include page in navigation menu' unchecked.
You could add a link on each of the Photo pages which returns to your main descriptive page.

Serious trouble with Videora!!!!!!!!
