So many apples!

My family has an iMac that we share, but have individual user accounts. My wife and I each have an iPad and iPhone. Our kids each have iPods. We use one iTunes account, which is located on my Macbook Air. As our library grows, it is getting harder to sync devices since our music and video tastes are different. The kids also don't need the productivity or news apps that I enjoy. My wife doesn't play any games on her phone.
Right now, I just go through and check what should be synced to each device. Is there an easier way? Please help!

Hello Steffen,
Looking at my Printer Setup Utility I don't have the Print Test Page available for any of my networked printers (that is printers I am connecting directly to via LPR or IPP) or USB connected printers. So I'm not sure when this function is meant to be available. However, if it is anything like the Windows Test Print, it is of little help to anyone and you are far better off running a test print from TextEdit or you can print a test page from the CUPs Printer page.
As for the Configure icon, if the printer you have added is actually shared from another computer, then you don't have the option to configure the printer locally, hence the icon won't be available.

Update to 10.7 did not work, cannot access iTunes. Need AVFoundationCF.dll, Ituneshelper not installed correctly, Error 7 (Windows Error 126), Error 7 (Windows Error 5)

I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
This HORROR began because I realized that my phone had suddenly lost all of the music except music that had been purchased. It also lost all purchased iBooks as well as audible books downloaded from audible and ringtones that I had purchased from iTunes.
I then thought that it would be fine once I connected to itunes on my computer. I connected to itunes and it said that there was an update available so I downloaded and installed 10.7.
I tried to run the program and got Error 7 (Windows error 5) message.
I then found several discussion questions that seemed similar to mine and I think that I tried them all. Removed everything apple and reinstalled iTunes. I followed the instructions and removed everything in the order that was listed, some I had to change security to own the file before I could delete them. I did all of the steps, (maybe I deleted too many apples items ??) emptied the recycling bin, restarted and reinstalled. I also tried the Net framework fix, used the ms fixit (the one with the picture of the man on it) and I think a few other things that I have found on this site as well as MS site. I restarted my computer every time.
The latest thing that I tried was to download 10.63 since I don't care about the new stuff. After all of this I sometimes get and message saying that I am missing AVFoundationCF.dll file and once it said something about Itunes Helper (when these two messages appear, it is separate from the error messages which occur after clicking ok on them) before getting the Error 7 (windows error 5) or else Error 7 (Windows error 126).
PLEASE HELP!

Follow the instructions on this link, basically un-install everything, remove programs that says they are made by apple inc. (using add remove program)
http://www.reimageplus.com/fix-windows-127-error/ (Many thanks to reimageplus.com)
You will also need to check and verify that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
C:\Program Files\iTunes
C:\Program Files\iPod
C:\Program Files\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
dont forget to remove icloud also
you dont need to delete your itune music library though
If any of these folders still exist, delete them along with their contents. (if you cant delete them, right click and go to properties and then security and change the control of the fold to you)
do this for files under program files and program file (x86) on your computer
once you have deleted everything, restart your computer. Then I repaired my registry using a registry repair program.
Important:- instead of installing itunes I installed quick time, which installs apple application support (this is the corrupt file which is causing all the issues)
i then installed itunes and it all worked fine,
should take no longer than half hour to fix
hope this helps

Static error when creating instances

I have 3 classes, one is my Apple, one is my Tree that makes Apples, one is my AppleBuffer which my apples go into, waiting their turn to fall off the tree.
There are many Apples, but there is only one Tree, and one AppleBuffer.
Apple Class:
public class Apple {
    private String col;
}AppleBuffer Class (Stores the apples in a vector queue):
public class AppleBuffer{
    public Vector<Apple> queue = new Vector<Apple>();
    public void add(Apple a){
         list.add(a);
}Tree Class (Apple generator):
public class Tree{
    public Apple a;
    public void create(){
        for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
            a = new Apple()
            AppleBuffer.add(a);
}Apologies if some of the syntax is off, I just wrote the parts that needed mentioning of the top of my head.
The error produced is compiling the Tree class:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method add(Apple) from the type AppleBuffer
I'm sure this is because I'm still new and don't really understand the use of objects properly.
The way I see it, Apple is the only class which needs multiple instances of itself, thus is the only class that needs creating objects for.
Would making a single object instance of AppleBuffer solve this problem? Would I need to do it for Tree aswell? It just all sounds a bit messy.
I don't really want to start making certain methods static because I know it would just confuse me later.
Please could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, and provide me with a short and simple terminology to correct my view on OO programming.
Thankyou.

public class Tree{
    public Apple a;
    private AppleBuffer buffer;
    public void create(){
        for(i=0;i<=10;i++){
            a = new Apple()
            buffer.add(a);
}You cannot access a non-static method ( add() in your case) in a static manner (AppleBuffer.add()) you need to create an instance of the AppleBuffer class first, then add apples to it. Another way to make it work, but NOT recommended by me, is to make the add() method static, and the queue as well
public class AppleBuffer{
    public static Vector<Apple> queue = new Vector<Apple>();
    public static void add(Apple a){
         queue.add(a);
}

Blending Objects - i.e. strawberry to jar of jam

I am using Illustrator CS3, in Windows Vista. I once saw instructions to blend a large strawberry into a jar of strawberry jam, sort of left to right across the page starting with the strawberry and ending up with a jar of jam... I can't remember where I saw it, or how to do it.
I've checked out the 'help' files, but 'blend' or 'make blend' doesn't work. I have two objects which are photos... I saved them in Photoshop as .psd files and placed them into AI... made the backgrounds transparent... but I can't get them to blend - one is a pic of my husband's face, the other is a pic of an apple. He eats so many apples I think he just may turn into an apple! Hence the reason for wanting to do this... please help!!!
Thanks,
Jennifer

Blend only works on vector paths. Read the help files more carefully. Or look into Morphing plug-ins for Photoshop or stand-alone programs. That's more likely to be the solution you're looking for.

Error with - addStylesToDocument(doc); please help

Hello, this is my unfinished code for a simple program I am writing. Basically I have a menu and buttons, and am looking to add a JTextPane. I think I have all the code there, except when compiling I am having an error with line addStylesToDocument(doc); if I comment this out then nothing happens but the program runs as normal (before I added the JTextPane code) the error I am getting is "non-static method addStylesToDocument(javax.swing.text.StyledDocument) cannot be referenced from a static context" this makes a little sence to me but not enough to be able to correct it as I am pretty much a beginner...
If anyone has any suggestions to fix this I would appreciate your input.

Serialization Dilemma - your opinion?

Hi, [Still implemented nothing, but have lots of prototypes now] I am thinking about the backend of the application. I thought about either having a database, or else serialized classes. Now for some reason, for the desktop application I feel more comfortable with serialized classes. However I did not want to decide this out without a proper discussion first.
My only issue with serialized classes is the data duplication I will have both in memory on the hard disk.
Let me explain this better. Imagine I have a design that involves Trees, Apples, and Worms. ONE Tree can have MANY Apples, and MANY Apples can have MANY Worms. If I had to represent this in an object way I would create a Three I would create class Three that has the methods addApple(), removeApple(), and the Apples would then be stored inside an ArrayList. The Apple, would have a similar aproch in its implementation, that is an addWorm(), removeWorm() methods. The worm has nothing to add to him and would only have the fields that define what a worm is.
Now when I would serialize the Tree object, I will create a file with all the Apples and Worms as well, since in serialization you will serialize all the elements in Tree, including the ArrayList that stores the apples and thus all apples as well will be serialized with all their worms, and so on.
So far so good :)
My problem comes (my dilemma) when a Worm decides to make a home out of more then one apple. I don�t know why, maybe he is hungry or he just needs to impress, however it can happen that ONE worm is living in MANY Apples. The code would be something as followsWorm mrWorm = new Worm("Joe");
Apple[] apples = new Apple[3];
apples[0].add(mrWorm);
apples[1].add(mrWorm);
apples[2].add(mrWorm);
Three myTree = new Three();
myTree.addRange(apples);I am sure that in memory this would not result in a problem, since the three apples would only have a reference of mrWorm. By when serializing the file, will I have just a reference or else mrWorm will be written three times inside the file?
Note that I am taking this conclusion for Serialization in .Net which was in XML and thus I could literary see the object being written three times. I have no idea how serialization works in Java whit this scenario, that is why I am asking.

Sim085object graphs serialization does not duplicate objects that are referenced by more than one object, so that's "safe"
BUT, as Rene advised, do NOT use serialization to persist your data. DO use a DB. Take a look at Hibernate, if you don't know it yet :)

Sanyo Xacti VPC C5 works with iChat AV

In case anyone else is trying to figure out how to use a Sanyo Xacti VPC-C5 as a iChat webcam:
1. Get and install iChatUSBCam
2. Plug the camera into the factory USB base with the LCD display open
3. With the Infra-red remote press the Menu button
4. Select the 3rd option down - "PC Camera"
(using the down arrow button on the remote, and the set button once the "PC Camera" is highlighted)
5. The LED on top of the unit will go steady Green
6. Open up iChat AV
7. Select the "Video" pull down menu and pick "Select Video Source"
8. Choose the Sanyo Camera; you only need to do this once
A couple of notes:
First, you need to have a separate microphone because the built-in camera mic does not pass through the USB.
Second, if you only see the "Audio" pull down menu in iChat AV, it means that it did not connect up with the camera. You need to close the application and repeat steps 2 through 6.
I use a iMic with a inexpensive LabTec microphone and it works well. Feel free to ask questions if you need help.
--Cheers

Hi Too Many Apples,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
Nice info.
Do you need to take the tape out to avoid the tape Anti-Stretch feature ?
This is a common problem with other DV Cam-Corders.
What other options does this cam usaully have ?
(Stills, memory Stick, any Demo modes that can get in the way)
That should make it a round ten items.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem I have a 13" mbp 2.53 intel core 2 duo late 2009 model and the screen has recently developed a small yellow vertical line about 4 in from the right side of the monitor its obviously a screen issue because when its plugged in to the tv the line doesn't follow i have had this thing for less that two years and did not buy the apple care i have owned many apples and i'm kinda disappointed about all this especially because of how much this thing cost.

If you are in the U.S. and they won't cover it under AppleCare, these shops are often less expensive.

Your only argument might be if there is no physical damage to the machine, and you can tell them you have never dropped, nor let anything heavy lean against the machine, nor bumped the machine, nor over-extended its hinge, nor spilled anything into it. Then it might be arguably a manufacturer defect that AppleCare could cover if you still have AppleCare. If you didn't get AppleCare, let this be a caution note, that you have up to a year to purchase AppleCare to extend coverage for a full 3 years from date of computer's purchase.

I've noticed on my new ipad 4 that many images when on the Internet are blurred and low resolution why is this? Because if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear????

When using my new ipad 4 retina display when on the Internet many of the images are blurry or low resolution? But if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear?? Why is this?

Ebay images look fine on mine. Image zoom doesn't work, but that's not suprising. I also support a number of public and private websites wth a number of images (some pretty large). Those look fine as well. If the Apple website looks good, there is no raeson other sites shouldn't as well.
For eBay specifically, I'd recommend using its app, but in general, you could try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated.

When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?

I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
Many thanks for your help,

Hugely disappointed with Apples lack of Support for iPhone 3G

I am so very disappointed in Apples lack of response or help regarding the OS4 and iphone 3G.
Originally a hugh support of Apple's philosophy and product, I find myself questioning their values and ulterior motives.
Currently, I have an iphone 3G 8GB. It worked like a dream until I installed the OS4. Like other forum members, my phone freezes, sputters, chokes and does all sorts of unusual oddities. I have gone to the Genius Bar at Apple only to be told that, it works fine for everyone else, excluding me and that basically, there is nothing that they can do about it.
I bring to their attention that on the actual Apple forum, there are others' like myself complaining of the same things! The response I get is that, people on here are not genuine and that you can't believe everything you read. Are they for real? The other responses that I get is to, reboot 3 to 4 times a day, restore, restore to factory, and to wait for the update of OS4.
But if OS4 is the culprit then how can it accommodate my iphone 3G?
Oh and the best response I get from the Apple store is, "if you are unhappy with your phone, you can upgrade to the iphone 4"!
Just recently, I did as told, and updated the OS4 on my phone.. and guess what!? It is worse off than it was previously. I just find it ironic that Apple refused to acknowledge the fact that this operating system (OS4) is rubbish for 3G users.
IM STILL WAITING FOR APPLE TO MAKE IT RIGHT

I can only agree with the above. My iPhone 16gb was fine and after my Wife my best friend to be honest. I've never had a more useful piece of i.t. kit and it's really made a difference to my lifestyle.
My wife's is still on 3.1.2 and comparing our two phones mine *****. My fault for not listening, but you sort of trust Apple until they let you down. OS4 was total crap, 4.0.1 still poor. It's barely faster and several thumbnail photos have gone from the camera roll. Listen to us Mr Jobs!!!
Your iPhone is not like normal phones. Your customers do not simply discard it for a new one, they may well buy a new version, but the old one will pass between family and friends and still be expected to function well many years hence. My current phone is earmarked for my son, my wife's for my daughter and so on as we renew our contracts. We EXPECT these things to work properly, and if you want loyal Apple customers to be retained you must support your older models fully.
A 10 year old with his Dad's old 3g used as an iPod, will be more likely to get a newer iPhone or iMac later on.

Apples are so great and I have a bridge to sell - or am I seeing the light?

I've used a Mac before for Pro Tools, Avid, etc, but have been mostly a PC guy for most of my life, mainly becuase of two reasons.
1) The PC was always faster, it was faster and cheaper to build, and even if you went with an off the shelf box, or Dell, it was upgradable and a little more future proof.
2) The second reason is I develop samples for PC audio programs GigaStudio, (PC Only) and Acid (PC only), and at the time, ACID was the only thing out there - in fact, it was the Acid (Sonic Foundry guy) that left Sony Media and developed Garage band.
That said, I saw the scooping up of Logic by Apple which was a BLOW to Avid/Pro-Tools, as the MAC base and AVID was a good partnership. But then Avid started to see the light, they new NATIVE was getting stronger and more powerful, therfore they bought m-audio.
Now, a few things before I continue my rant. I don't like closed ended systems and dispise some business models, for example, Pro Tools LE allows for a limited amount of tracks and if you want to work with picture you are forced to by the DV tool kit which is another pop into your bank account. That said, I know foley guys that work in huge studios then come home and work on Pro-Tools using a mbox and dv toolkit and are forced to buy more hardware for their work, which I hope never happens to the Macbook (in-ability to use FCP Suite).
The point I am starting to get is, I am a creative person and I am starting to realize a few things.
Macs are now just as powerful and the new macbook (although I disagree with the $150 charge for BLACK) let alone the business model to make you pay $400 more just to get black with non-dedicated GPU, it is just as powerful as the DUAL G5 which many and I mean MANY use today for the final cut studios, pro-tools HD, or LE, Logic, Digital Performer.
But what is striking to me is that the more I look into Apple and Apple care, I see seminars about how to do (fill in the blank) which is all about creating. Every software platform they have/create are for the creatives and that's what I am. Now, with that said, I have Cubase SX and a AMD Machine and lots of plug-ins, but you know what is missing? All those seminars and learning tools on how to get the most out of it.
I live in California and am seeing more and more demand for final cut editors, I opened garage band, Sound Pro 1.5, Logic and without ever using it was able to move, command hold and drag loops, create and do a lot without ever looking anything up. I can only wonder what I could do with a Macbook (same as Dual G5) and Final Cut Express HD (is the 400FW limiting though)??? And am also curious as to what the apple care can and will offer? For example is there a schedule of events?
Anyway, I am starting to see the light and am starting to realize it like this, while the stat on the richest 3% of the population controlling the world, and apples market share is what, 5%? I wonder of all the Albums, CD's, movies, etc, are created using mac software! Sure, they use AMD RENDERING FARMS and I would love to know more about how I could link a Mac to a PC and make them synch in harmony, but am starting to wonder, what took me so long, or is it just that I am looking for another excuse to not make music, and get bogged down with trying new applications and software?
One of the things I do like though with the idea of starting to go all mac, is the idea that for once in my life I want to start buying ALL my software and start using those programs only and mastering them while at the same time, taking in seminars of these software programs (PRO TOOLS, iDVD, Final Cut) and get some good skills that can help pay the bills while I work on my own music projects.
Sure, it's great to own $10000 of dollars worth of Orchestral software, hardware, etc, but am wondering by defending the PC all the time and speed, if that point is now moot and to start focusing on one thing at a time.
Does this make sense?
God Speed!

Hi musicomposer,
And am also curious as to what the apple care can and will offer? For example is there a schedule of events?
I'm assuming that the above is the your main question. A good place to start are the Apple Stores. There are three in Los Angeles and they regularly hold seminars/workshops. Just book yourself on the ones that interest you and take it from there:

Since updating to iOS 6 on my ipad i am unable to connect to the internet, itunes or the app store. I have tried many suggestions about changing the dat, logging in/out of itunes etc but nothing has worked! Please help :)

Since updating my ipad to iOS 6 a few days ago i can't seem to get onto the internet, the app store or itunes, nor can i update to iOS7!! I sent an email to apple support and they said we don't handle these issues and redirected me back to the help forums which i have already seen and tried everything other people have suggested and nothing has worked (changing date, signing in/out of itunes etc). When i go to app store the screen is blank, in itunes it just keeps saying loading but never gets anywhere and same with the internet!

Nothing works, can't use my apps, facebook, music etc. Will contact apple again and try get some answers. But thanks for any info

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Have iMatch and added many local mp3's to iTunes library on PC. My goal is to only have music in iCloud with no local copies stored on PC's/iPod/iPad/iPhone. Is this possible?

After loading many mp3's from local PC to iTunes Libraries and enabling iMatch, iTunes indicates that the track data is being extracted from iTunes database to the cloud and some songs uploaded from my local network store to the cloud. When the song list is viewed on the PC there are circles with exclamation points (circl/Excl) by many of the songs that were supposedly uploaded to iCloud. If the songs are played on the PC and the network store where the files were originally accessed is blocked, the files without the circle/Excl are played from the cloud and the 'song could not be located' alarm pops up when trying to play the ones with the circle/Excl. When the network sttore is unblocked the songs play from the local source. How can one force the upload of any/all existing songs to iCloud when not contained in Apples database?

This also applies to your situation: Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
