Simple problem, just don't know where to find answer

hi, i'm sure the problem i have must be very basic, but i just can't seem to find the answer so far and i do not have much time left. i just need to know the code required to add a .avi file compressed using divx codec to a japplet. basically it will be activated using a JButton and will play one time each time the button is clicked. i know how to make the gui and the button, but it is the embedding of the avi file that i need help with. could you guys kindly assist me, my assignment is due in like 8 hrs. thanks a million.

thanks for the quick reply.
actually i've already done that, unfortunately as i only know basic j-programming i can't seem to make sense of all those posts...i'm truly sorry.
could you maybe point out where to find the code required? or show it if it isnt too difficult. thanks, sorry if i sound lazy.

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says "other" is taking up most of my storage but I don't know where to find "other". Please help!

Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other". Please help!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

HT2688 I just want to know where to find the shared libraries on the new iTunes. These articles are a million years old, and are of no help.

I just want to know where to find my shared libraries on the stupid new iTunes. The layout was fine before, but when they changed it, I can't seem to find them. The articles on Apple are a million years old, before the latest iTunes update, so they are no help. Thanks.

Hi cheryle36779349,
The free trial that we offer is for Acrobat (we don't offer trials of the online services). So, the first thing you need to do is download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. When you launch it the first time after installing it, you should be prompted to accept the end-user license agreement.
Then, so convert PDF files to Word, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos in photostream are kept in the cloud and only for 30 days. To save your photos before deleting them, sync them to a computer or an online storage solution such as Dropbox.

HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product." I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is? They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about. Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean. Does it mean your desktop computer? If so, which one? Do they mean your device? LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever? Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices? If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5? We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id. He may have been using mine, since his computer died. I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5. Do they, then?
Help! I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number. I doubt they would help me anyway. In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it. Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

I don't know where to find my Linksys Password?

I just got a new labtop for school and I'm trying to update my linksys wireless onto the labtop. I have done this about 6 months ago onto another labtop in our family, but I dont ever recall being asked for a password to confirm anything (maybe I did but I can't recall it.) I have the model number WRT54G. When I do the setup with the CD-ROM it gets me passed like 8 or so steps and then it asks me for a password to verify things. I don't know what my password is and I dont know how to find out where it is.... PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME????

If you can access your router you can go to the wireless tab and reset it. If not and your can not access your router (forgot the password and the default does not work) then you will have to reset the router and reconfigure it from scratch. This LINK will show you how to access your router with the default settings.

RAM and Activity Monitor questions M.B.P. Is sOoOoo slow and I just don't know where to start..RAM and Activity Monitor

   So I am really unsure where to start but I def need a little help getting to where I want to be or feel I should be. I understand that I am pretty much filled when it comes to the RAM on this machine but I need to figure out how to lower it. I back up my machine about once a week which is longer than I would prefer but due to the way Mavericks has been acting I cant deal with the long backup process.... WHY?!?? may be your response to that and I will fill you in. My external Hard Drive is a 1tb Lacie and its about 2 years old. In that time I have dropped, lost, threw and slept ontop of it. Causeing minor damage (each time) to the casing. So now becomes rather hot and I kinda dont want it to burn out. When I first updated to Mavericks the backups were fast and went along mb by mb...now though, the updates drag out for 3-5 hours and update kb by kb. Tried some of the "solutions" posted on here but none seem to work any more than me consistantly purging my system while the backup happens...kinda why I dont have time to do it everyday like I'd like.
     ANYWAY can someone please fill me in on a way, program, application, anything that will help me lower my RAM? Because in the spirit of honesty I just dont have the extra funds to snag some new RAM or another HD. I am almost at the point of saying "F**K IT" and wiping everything off the computer so its as close to empty as can be and manually, one by one redownloading what I want/need. But I dont have the time to accomplish that either. PLEASE lend me your ear and help a brudda out with some information from that exceptional brain of yours.
     Below is a copy of my machines "report" from EtreCHECK and I am including screen shots of what the (Mavericks) Activity Monitor currently looks like in ALL PROCESSES. PLUS it kinda seems that I have WAY TOOO MANY processes going on in the ACTIVITY MONITOR and have NO clue how to lower the amount.    Will truly appreciate any help anyone can toss my way.
    THANK YOU

Mavericks is designed to use as much RAM as possible. Free RAM is wasted RAM... it's RAM that's not working for you, not doing anything helpful. Seeing your RAM full is not an indication that there is a problem. Seeing your memory pressure graph spike would be.
As for the performance issues, see my Mac Performance Guide.

Must be a simple answer, but don't know where to find it ( ! )

Greetings,
I've imported a PDF file from the clipboard, have pasted it and locked it as a master object, but now I want to create separate text boxes for each line item as shown on the imported PDF image. Unfortunately, I can't seem to just use text boxes, as yet, because they get too close to each other and blank each other out!
Anyway, I'm looking for a setting that allows me to overlay text boxes so they don't wipe each other out. Can anybody help? Thanks for your expertise, if you can!

You can change the behavior of new objects in your template. Create your blank document with the fonts, margins, etc. Then insert any object or photo & set it to not wrap. Now, go to Format > Advanced & select Define Default Shape Style, then delete the object, save the blank document as a template & set Pages to use this template in Pages > Preferences. You can make similar settings for default tables, too.

Audio - streaming I have a problem and don't know where to ask the question

I have a MacBook pro, I also have a presonus 16.4.2 FireWire mixing consule. My band is going to play a online show that will stream through ustream.tv . When I am connected to the mixer via FireWire the board is recieving audio and on ustreams web ap it shows a place where I can select the presonus for audio but when I select it it does not show any audio input. Does anyone know how to make it work so I can use the sound coming from the mixer as the sound being broadcast for the stream? I've never tried using the 8th inch audio input on the Mac but do you think taking two mono quarter inches from the main of the mixer into a stereo 8th inch would work? Any help is appreciated, the show is this Thursday and I'd like to make it sound as good as possible and avoid having to use the internal microphone. Or if any of you know a better forum to ask this question please direct me.
Thanks,
Aaron

This will work to get the audio into the console, go to system preferences and set input to line and use the slider for level control.
If you go to the Apple site, support and search "streaming audio" there is a number of articles that might help.
Also, if you search" audio streaming firewire"
Too much to list here.

So Many Sync Problems I Don't Know Where to Begin

I can't for the life of me get all but a few of my purchased TV shows to sync from iTunes to AppleTV. I've tried switching from "Automatic" sync to "Custom" sync, checking/unchecking boxes, restarting iTunes, repairing permissions -- still nothing behaves as expected.
I'm about ready to throw my AppleTV out the window!! What's going on?

Probably best to custom sync if you want overall control, then select individual shows to sync under the Devices>AppleTV tabs.
Note that if you have items unchecked in the main iTunes views (not the Devices>AppleTV tabs), then they won't stream and probably won't sync either. Check you haven't desleceted shows you want in the main windows.
If there are problems syncing you'll get an exclamation mark next to the AppleTV name in devices - click on it for more info.

I assume you have plenty of space for these shows to sync and that music or something else isn't syncing first leaving no room for all the shows.

So many SL problems, I don't know where to begin!

First my Time Machine backups were deleted one by one 4 days after installing SL. I sat and watched them all go bye bye. One years worth.
My mouse software does not work (Logitech)
Photoshop CS3 crashed so often I upgraded to CS4
My ESATA drivers give Kernel Panics
My Epson printer (2200) no longer works
My Canon Utilities no longer works in 10.6
And after installing 10.6.1, now my firewire 800 ports are not working. Only my USB ports. And Macmail will not send.
Three words.
Oh. My. God.
