Silly questions from a novice?

I have just downloaded i-tunes onto a computer and I am having several problems.
1. After I have imported/ripped a cd into i-tunes, the songs skip through without playing.
2. I went to the apple website and installed the latest i-tunes 6, and when I tried to import a cd, an error report came up, the one saying send error report etc.
3. I put a few mixes from a website into i-tunes and it plays them right through, but when I try to put them onto ipod it says that the songs cannot be recognised?
4. How do I take unwanted songs off of my ipod?
Is this a problem with the computer that I am using? And if so can I go to another computer and install my i-tunes there. Or can you only download i-tunes onto one comp?
So many questions I know, but I really dont have a clue and want to get some music onto my ipod.
Thanks in advance.

.4 To remove unwanted songs from your ipod connect your ipod to your computer, open itunes, then click on the ipod icon.
Now all the songs on your ipod are listed to the right. Simply select the songs you want to remove, click on edit->remove.
I believe they will be automatically removed from your playlists as well.
good luck!

  • DB Design Question From A Novice

    I need help in structuring the code for a javabean that I'm writing. Basically, I want to have the bean run several different types of DB queries (e.g. "check username and password", "list the groups that the player is in", "list player attributes", etc).
    The approach I started taking (out of simplicity) was to write a new method for each type of query I wanted to run. In other words, I wrote one method to "check username and password" and another to "list the groups that the player is in", etc. However, I noticed that this caused a lot of repeating in the code (e.g. con.createStatement(); and stmt.executeQuery() for all these methods). I posted this question on a different forum and someone suggested writing a generic method (that takes a String parameter containing a database query) and putting the output into a Vector object and returning that to the calling method. My question is: "is this the 'common' way of doing things?" Another question is, "are both approaches acceptable?" Personally, I think it seems a little easier to use the approach I started using but, I have to admit, all the repeating code troubles me. I'm learning this on my own so I don't really have someone to ask in person about this. I'm looking for the advice of someone with some experience in these matters. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    My question is: "is this
    the 'common' way of doing things?" Basically yes. There are variations but the general idea is the same.

    And this....

    Another question
    is, "are both approaches acceptable?" Your original approach would become unmangeable in a larger application. But other than that yes.
    Personally, I
    think it seems a little easier to use the approach I
    started using but, I have to admit, all the repeating
    code troubles me. And the repeating code, from the perspective of learning, is probably a good thing to a certain extent. It allows you to recognize patterns and thus question alternatives. And then when you move on to something else more sophisticated you will understand why it better/appropriate as opposed to someone who just does it one way without ever understanding why. (And for small applications you do use exactly the method you are doing rather than using more sophisticated and thus complex solutions.) Additionally you are more likely to be able to more quickly debug applications because you will be able to seperate out core problems relating to the database versus problems that are related to the intermediate layers.

  • A few questions from a novice

    Hi all
    My leopard was an unexpected gift from my parents for my daughter and I, I'm sure you can all imagine how delighted we have been and what an exciting new world that has begun to open up for us.
    However I have hit a wall a few times over certain features and struggle to understand how to resolve these problems.
    I find online advice either assumes I have a knowledge of mac's I just don't have or apple's own solutions to be a bit Ronald MacDonaldspeak: "Hey great, now you've got a mac, cool, have a nice day.."
    I've made two phone calls, for 30 minutes, and then an hour, to technical support who couldn't even get my password going.. ( though they did make a point of telling me I was getting it wrong when I wasn't!)
    Anyway, when you've stopped laughing out there guys can any of you help me with a few points:
    a.)I can recieve e mail on my mac address but it won't send it.
    b.)A friend has sent me a video greeting on my old BT Yahoo e mail address but I can't view it despite downloading windows Media for mac which started going on about something called Stuffit???!!
    c.)Whenever I try to go online it fails and I have to restart once or twice.
    d.) I can't get pictures on a CD onto i photo.
    e.) I want to do sound and cam to friends on msn ,Yahoo messenger etc.I don't know anybody on i chat nor can my non-apple user friends download a version of i chat to connect from their side with mine - is this merely political, that it doesn't work because of some rivalry between the rest of the cyber world and apple?
    If you can help I'd be most grateful but remember I really don't understand jargon jargon!

    Check the settings for your "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)". The information for that should be available from your ISP.
    b.)A friend has sent me a video greeting on my old BT Yahoo e mail address but I can't view it despite downloading windows Media for mac which started going on about something called Stuffit???!!
    You may want to check into [Flip4Mac|http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm], which will allow you to view Windows Media videos with Quicktime on the Mac.
    c.)Whenever I try to go online it fails and I have to restart once or twice.
    Can you elaborate on that? What happens when it fails?
    d.) I can't get pictures on a CD onto i photo.
    Again, more information would be helpful. You should be able to simply drag the pictures from the CD onto the iPhoto window. Again, what happens when it fails?
    e.)

    iChat works with AOL IM, but I believe not with MSN or Yahoo. I agree that it's dumb that the two camps aren't compatible, but it's not an Apple vs The World situation.

  • Rendering question from a novice in the middle of an editing project

    Hi,
    I'm editing a 50 min program that is a live 2 camera shoot. Both consumer dv cameras, one new & one five or more years old. So as you can imagine, theres a real quality diff between the cameras, both in brightness values as well as color values.
    So I tried experimenting in FCP color correction, just picking a shot & fooling around with brightness & color. Trying to get a feel for how they work etc. I never intended to render any of it. Then I went back to cutting for a few days & suddenly the program was "auto rendering". I didnt see a way to undo that at the time, so I've since continued cutting & saving, but now I'm ready to really tackle color correcting.
    Before I do any wholesale correction to a camera shot, I want to undo all of that testing that the program auto rendered.
    How do I do that?
    Thanks
    G5 tower   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Before I do any wholesale correction to a camera shot, I want to undo all of that testing that the program auto rendered.
    Well, if you want to undo all of what you've done - that is, filters & rendering - select all the affected clips and use the Remove Attributes feature.
    To access that feature, either Control-click and select it from the contextual menu or press Option-Command-V on your keyboard. In the dialog box that comes up, select 'Filters' from the Video list, then click OK.
    If you only want to undo the rendering (but leave the filters applied for further tweaking), a neat trick I learned here is to simply use the Clip Enable toggle. That is, select your clips and press Control-B once to disable them, then press Control-B again to enable those clips.
    (In case it's not obvious, toggling clips trashes all associated render files)

  • Question from a novice user

    Hi, I need to develop an application that
    reads and writes complex data-centric XML
    documents to an Oracle database.
    I know about XML SQL Utility for Java but...
    which choice do I have if I can't use the Java environment?
    Should I write all my code or there is some other helpful utility? What about PLSXML?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Carla Delmonte
    null

    If you have Oracle8i, then you can use the "xmlgen" package that comes with the Oracle XML SQL Utility (and wrappers its Java functionality in a PL/SQL package) to do everything you can do from a Java program from PL/SQL. The XMLGEN package is created by running the "xmlgenpkg.sql" script in the ./lib directory that comes with the Oracle XML SQL Utility.
    The PL/SQL package function xmlgen.insertXML() should do what you need.
    The XML Parser for PL/SQL (not the same as PLSXML utilities) also is a PL/SQL wrapper on the Java XML Parser, and exposes the full functionality of the Java implementation through a set of easy-to-use PL/SQL packages.
    PLSXML is not really an option since it does not support putting XML into the database, only getting it out.

  • Questions from a novice

    several basic questions that my java programmer's reference isn't making clear to me:
    a. is String a primitve datatype? or is it treated as an object
    b. whatever String happens to be, can there be a List of Strings?
    c. if it's not right to have List li = new List(); that is instantiate a list, how come it's possible to instantiate something that implements a list e.g. List li = new classa.getSomeList();
    thanks a lot.

  • 2 silly questions what is boot camp and do I need it? & How to transfer PC

    Okay, I've just ordered my first mac it's a 17" 1.83 refurb iMac, I've noticed a lot of stuff about boot camp, what is it? Does it allow me to transfer my old pc files to my Imac? The only files I will be transfering are pictures and music files can anyone tell me how easy or hard this will be, Thanks again

    There are no silly questions.
    Boot Camp (which is still a beta until Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' comes out) allows you to boot your Intel-based Mac in either Windows XP or Mac OS X. It will make an extra partition on your internal hard drive on which you can install WinXP SP2.
    To transfer you PC files onto your Mac you will not need Boot Camp. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to burn you files on a CD-R or DVD-R and insert the disc into your Mac.
    For your music files: start iTunes and import all music files from your CD/DVD (File menu > Import).
    For your pics: start iPhoto and import all your pictures from the CD/DVD (File menu > Import in Library). iPhoto is really the best way to keep track of all your current and future pics and share them with anyone.
    Good luck and welcome to the Mac world!

  • Silly Question I know but......

  • Silly Question I know but I'm a Newbie!

    Besides Apple's own mail can the iPhone run any other email software e.g. thunderbird, etc.?
    Mark

    I'm worried that when I collect emails on my iPhone she wont be able to collect those (same) emails via her powerbook (as I will already have collected them). My thought was; if I could use say Thunderbird on my iPhone and collect mail she would be able to collect the same mail via Apple's mail on her powerbook.
    That's not how collecting mail works, really. The email client doesn't matter *at all*--it depends on whether the account is POP or IMAP and what settings are in use.
    I have a POP account that is set up to download messages and then leave them on the server (this requires setting the POP settings in both Mail desktop and Mail iPhone that way). So all my messages get downloaded both in Mail and on my phone as new, unread, messages.
    A POP account set to delete from server after downloading would cause the problem you cite. An IMAP account would download the messages everywhere, but would mark the ones you had already read as Read when your wife downloaded them, and if your wife deleted a message that wasn't for her, it would also get deleted for you.
    Google POP vs IMAP for more, and see what your email provider offers, and check the settings.
    Not such a silly question---it's a bit complicated.

  • ATI Radeon X1900 model designation - a silly question

    Hi all,
    I guess I reserved a silly question for for my very first discussions post!
    I have a Feb 2007 vintage 2.66 Mac Pro with the ATI X1900 graphics card. When I ran software update on this machine today, it ignored the ATI X1900 XT firmware update recently posted by Apple. Upon querying my card in system profiler, I see it listed as simply "ATY,RadeonX1900"–no XT at the end. Also, both the "ATY" and the lack of a space after the comma are not typos on my part-that's exactly how they appear in system profiler-weird. It listed the device ID as: 0x1002.
    Is the "XT" a more recent model of the X1900 series? I queried my serial number on Apple's specification page, and it said I should have a X1900 XT, but I suspect Apple updates these on the fly.
    I really want to keep my drivers and firmware up to date, but I certainly don't want try to install an incorrect firmware update-yikes. Should I trust software update or should I manually download this update from Apple's site and install it?

    Thanks, guys! This is really helpful information.
    I'll go back and read the posts concerning this update. Having gone through the G4 "leaf blower" fan noise ordeal, I don't want to make my blissfully quiet MacPro any louder (and neither do my office mates).
    I work in 3-D modelling and architectural graphics, and I've stepped up to the big display/high end graphics card world at the same time as my applications (formZ, SketchUp, Lightwave, CS3) are rewriting their software for Intel Macs. A few minor, but annoying, issues persist, and I was naivley hoping a simple firmware update would be the silver bullet. Yeah, right.
    Maybe I'm just "pre-registering" my anxiety over Leopard...
    Oh well. Chin-up! And thank you all for the quick replies!

  • Silly Question- PREVIEW - Leopard Rotating Pics

    Silly question, but a little "bothersome" on this end.
    Just upgraded to 10.5.4. In my previous OSX PREVIEW of pictures, if the pictures were rotated (from the camera), they showed up that way in PREVIEW and I had to manually rotate them. Now, Preview seems to show them in the proper position, but then when I send to family, they may be rotated in the wrong position. Some of my contacts aren't very computer savvy and don't understand how to rotate them on their own.
    Isn't there somewhere in PREVIEW that I can turn off the automatic rotate so I can rotate them on my own.
    I hope this is clear---it's a silly question, but solving it will make my life a little simpler!
    Thanks!
    job

    The rotated picture business is bit confusing, so bear with me a minute.
    When you shoot in portrait view your camera records everything the same as it does in landscape view, but adds a little digital note saying, in effect, "this picture is supposed to display in portrait." Some things can read the note, and some things can't. Both Finder and Preview can read the note and display the picture appropriately, Safari can't. If you want to see how those on other machines might see the picture, just drag it into an open Safari window.
    Now--what to do. Because of the complaints of graphic pros the Mac OS no longer automatically applies the rotation to the actual pixels....you have to do it yourself. I usually do so in Photoshop, but if you use iPhoto you can EXPORT the photo, and then the rotation will be saved and the pixels altered.
    If you want to use Preview try this:
    1. Open the photo and resave immediately, in the "Save as..." dialog box you'll see a line with a check box under the format information, that says "Use Exif Orientation Tag"--uncheck the box and save.
    2. Reopen the photo--this time it will display the actual state of the pixels, so it will be sideways
    3. Rotate so it is in portrait view
    4. Save again
    If you drop the photo in Safari it should now appear "correctly" and will display anywhere and everywhere in the correct orientation.

  • Maybe a silly question...are unoffical OS (leaks) safe/secure to use?

    So maybe this is a silly question....I have been trying to downgrade my OS after my TMobile phone somehow downloaded an ATT update (10.2.1.3014) that wasn't supported by the Tmobile network and caused all sorts of problems with the device.
    After extensive work with Blackberry Support, I am told there is no way to "officially" downgrade back to the Tmobile supported version (10.2.1.2228).
    This leaves the files or "leaks" (if you want to call them that), that are available in the forums through the autoloaders.  Obviously not knowing where those files came from, who posted them, or what, if any modifications have been made, I'm worried about security, malware, privacy, etc.
    Are these things safe and secure to use just like an official OS would be?  Is there anyway to verify? 
    Thanks in advance for your help.  Sorry if its a silly question.

    Hello, 
    The autoloaders have no malware or viruses... at least I haven`t heard about any of that. I have used Autoloaders before and the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you download the proper files (OS and radio files) for your phone. In any case case, make sure you do a backup. 
    If you have more questions, ask away. 
    Good luck
