A way of making window look transparent
I'm using the following method to make a window look transparent: whenever a frame is moved, it makes a screenshot of the underliying area and displays it as its background
but, unfortunately, this doen't work in this example ????
public class MyFrame extends JFrame implements ComponentListener{
private Image image;
public MyFrame(){
super();
this.addComponentListener(this);
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e){
try{
image = (new Robot()).createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(getX(), getY(), 200, 200));
repaint();
}catch(Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); };
public void paint(Graphics g){
if(image != null){
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);May it will not help too much, but I know that a transparent window, isn't transparent, in truth.
What this windows really is doing is a screenshot of desktop background, and printing it at window background. So, I think prefectly normal that problems as your happen somtimes.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.
All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?
Hi tinashah817,
Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?
Hi mariab,
What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
Best,

When I try to open IN AI or Ps files appear a window:" impossible to open ...namefile.indd because it was saved in a plus recent version of adobe indesign (CS7.2)". But I don't have do that? please help me, thank you. giampiero
Hi,
You cannot open the file created/opened in the latest version of InDesign into older version of InDesign directly.
You will have to export the file, File >Export , into IDML from the newer version to make it compatible with older version.
{moved to InDesign forum}
Thanks,

I keep getting a Windows Mail error when trying to run the assistant on my pc, but I don't have any email programs open.
You could of course use Safari your default browser as a quick method of accessing gmail until you figure out the Firefox problem. (More than one browser may be used on a Mac or other computer).
Is this the only site you have problems with ? and does Safari work ok ?
Often this problem requires the page to be reloaded
* try pressing the shift key as you reload the page
Another problem is sometimes the cookies for that site need clearing
* see [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site]]_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site

If you don't have your install disks you can get the gray disks by calling Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
Or you can get a Snow Leopard retail disk for $29. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY -
When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?
Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

Hello i would like instal windows in my mac pro retina but i don't have boot camp
What version of OS X are you running on your MBPr?
If you open Applications > Utilities, you should see Boot Camp Assistant in that folder.
That is the utility which will create the partition into which you can install Windows that you have purchased from Microsoft. -
How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4? The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.
That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either. Am I out of luck?
As I noted in the other thread:
There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
Does that clarify matters somewhat? -
I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?
You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.
