Still hoping for some help - IllegalAccessError
We are working on an application using the dvt:schedulingGantt component. Everything's been moving along fine.... until now. We just started integration test, and we are getting the error below for almost anything we do. We are using the freshly released Patchset 1 in a Liinux environment. All our other environments are Windows, and we still have a slightly older version of the code (build 5512 instead of 5536) on our dev server. But I've been running build 5536 locally for a while, with no problems.
This error occurs when we hover over a task bar, right-click to try to get a context menu on either the task bar or the resource, View->time scale, View->Go To Date, Zoom, etc. Pretty much the only thing that works is that it displays fine at initialization. I figure something must be installed wrong, but I can't imagine what it could be, what could need to be fixed. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks. The team setting up this environment said they found some "classpath problems", which they corrected, and now it's working. I don't know whether that was the problem or not - they did not elaborate. But thanks for the response.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!

Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"
Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: teleloveI've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
Original Image:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

Hoping for some help with submitting a page
I'm going to explain this as simply as possible, with the hope that someone will not only understand my situation, but will be kind enough to reply. :)
I have a page with three regions, each region has a submit button that branches back to the same page. My problem is mostly with region 3. In region 2, I have several select lists and a submit button. I have a process that (on click of the 2nd GO button) concatenates all the values from my select boxes and saves them to a text (saves state) object (we'll call it RESULTS). It then shows the third region. My problem is: If I want to change some of my select lists and click button 2 again, it doesn't change the value of RESULTS. If I change RESULTS to NOT save state, it displays correctly on changes, but then when I click my third button, it doesn't keep the value (because state isn't saved).
I REEEALLLLY hope this makes sense to someone, as I've played with this for hours now with no idea where I'm going wrong.
Thanks a million!
SteveVikas,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. Sorry about the delay in replying - I've attempted to create a duplicate page with the same problem. If you (or anyone) wouldn't mind, please check out my page:
http://htmldb.oracle.com
workspace: westerndoor
username: vikas
password: vikas
Pg. 28
This is a good example of my problem. If you type in "%B%" in the text box and hit the first "GO" button, it will populate the select list of items that match that criteria. Select one of those and a "finish" and a "Texture". Hit the second "GO" button and it will populate the fields that help build my "Results". Then, change the finish and texture and hit the second "GO" button again. The Results field doesn't change. I've been able to get it to work by changing a few objects to not save state, but then my Results object isn't correct (it's empty) when I hit the final button (which is disabled in this app as it inserts data into a table on click).
I hope this makes sense and you can help me out. I'm pulling out what little hair I have left. :)
Thanks!
Steve -
I had a couple of responses to my request for help that were excellent. Unfortunately, I have lost all my emails and cannot find the email of the people who responded. Could you please respond again at [email protected] I am still looking for some help.
thank youI've provided this type of basic support to others at $50 per hour. I bill in 15 minute increments, so for quick questions you would typically pay
$12.50 per question, $50 / hour for more involved issues.
One thing, I'm more of a front-end guy, so while I can help with HTTPService connecting to PHP scripts, I'm not up to speed on ColdFusion,
Java, etc.
I have a day job, so I would have to respond outside the hours of 9 - 5 pacific standard time.
I have emailed you about this, so please reply to that email on this topic. -
I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first. -
Evening folks...looking for some help about my iphone microphone
Evening folks....looking for some help.....I have a 3G Iphone and when I phone people they cannot hear me properly...sound like I am underwater....
Any ideas or suggestions gratelfully accepted..I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers. I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time. I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it. As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince. I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped. For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc. I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time. -
Hoping for some feedback on iMovie's resolution settings
I'm not getting quality screen resolution when exporting slides with builds from Keynote, to Quicktime, import to iMovie, then back to Quicktime.
I notice it mainly with the text content because it's very pixellated, and it seems to start after I've imported the Keynote/quicktime file into iMovie.
The final Quicktime movie will be burned to DVD and then viewed on other's computer screens, which of course I realize will all be different.
I'm hoping for any help with this, as I have tried what I think is everything,and am still not getting anywhere with the quality.See, i told you I was ignorant! So, when I insert a blank cd and the automatic pop up "burn" window opens when I drag a file onto the cd....is that the cd burner from the finder? It doesn't say anywhere what program is automatically opening.
If it IS the cd burner from finder that comes up, then that's what I've always used in the past and not the idvd.
At any rate, here are the file specs:
1280x720
Codecs: Integer (Little endian), AIC
Channel count: 2
Duration: 2'45
Size: 326.9 mb on disk
I guess I ought to try a dvd before I get into more intense trouble shooting... -

why is it ok for a verizon wireless service representative to lie to a customer? I went over my monthly data and i called to ask for some help with the overage because i was barely over. They told me they would take care of it and sold me on a shared data plan that would result in 2gb less data but told me i would save 20$ a month. I agreed and recieved my next statement and to my suprise my bill actually went up 15$ a month and i talked to several people and they all told me there is nothing that can be done to get back on the plan i was on and they can not even give me a discount to get me back to what i was paying. They can only offer me a convenience credit. I will be cancelling service.
ajwest101,
We do not want to see you go. I truly apologize for any misinformation regarding your plan. Let's investigate into this a little further. What plan were you on? What plan were you switched to? If you look at the detailed billing online of your previous bill do you see any additional charges other then the plan?

I recently switched from years of PC to iMac ( OSX 10.7.5) and need to batch convert thousands of old WordPerfect files (many without an apparent file extension) into my new Microsoft 2011 Word. I am a computer nitwit and am hoping for some simple solution.
Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -

A Potential Convert Looking for Some Help with Boot Camp
I posted this in the Macbook Pro forums, and somebody directed me here. Hopefully you can help me with my questions.
Hello,
I have been a PC user ever since I can remember. I have loved the operating system and have had a Dell Laptop for 4 years now without any problems at all. I have no qualms with the Windows Operating Systems. But, it is time for me to get a new laptop, as I will soon be heading off to college. I was thinking about getting another PC, as they are significantly cheaper than the lower-end MBP that I would get, but I was also thinking about trying out a Mac. I plan on using this laptop for most of my undergraduate education though, so I don't want to buy something and find out it isn't what I want or I can't use it. So, if you would help me, I would like to ask some questions about the lower-end Macbook Pro, and I may just end up getting one.
First things first, I am going to be going into engineering, likely mechanical or systems, at either WPI, Northeastern, or Tufts. Ah the experience of choosing colleged. I know Tufts uses AutoCAD, WPI uses SolidWorks, but I am not sure which Northeastern uses. Either way, I most certainly will be using a CAD program. I know that most CAD programs do not work on Macs, so I will likely be using Boot Camp. I have though seen on these boards that the AutoCAD licensing does not work with Boot Camp, or that some users have faced major problems with it. If this is so, then it is highly likely that I will be unable to get a Mac as that program is going to be an absolute necessity. Even if this is just a small percentage of the population, I do not want to find mine being of major issue. For those of you who have gotten it to work, how difficult was the installation, and have you had any issues with AutoCAD or the like? With this in mind, would you even suggest that I get a MBP?
Another Boot Camp question. I have read many posts on these boards discussing different partitioning options, yet I still am unsure what they all mean. I expect to use the Windows side for more than just AutoCAD. I likely will install some games on it for when I am bored, and Microsoft Office, as I do not wish to spend the extra money buying Office for Mac and I need to have the versatility of Excel that I have heard is not found in the Mac version. What is the difference between these two partitioning types, which would you recommend, and how much storage should I partition if I get a 200GB hard drive?
Yet another Boot Camp question, sorry for so many of these. My friend who has a Mac lauds it for its security, nobody makes viruses for Macs. As I will most definitively be using Windows in Boot Camp, would this compromise this security? I know it will be Windows, but I still imagine that it would be encoded somewhat differently then normal, but I could be wrong. Also, if it is possible for the Windows portion to get a virus, could that affect the Mac portion?
Also, I don't use an iPod. I suppose I always thought they were overpriced for what they do. Instead I use an Iriver Clix 2, and I love it. The only thing is, I use Windows Media Player to sync it with my library. I know many have qualms with WMP, but I personally favor it more than iTunes, but that is just me. I do not believe that you can download it for a Mac. If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Finally, is the battery life any different when using Windows than when using Leopard? I will likely be using the Windows portion in the class room.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I am certainly hoping that I can get some solid answers to make an educated decision before getting my next laptop. I would like to thank you very much for any help that you are able to give me. I do hope you can help me quickly. Thank you.

I still imagine that [Windows] would be encoded somewhat differently then normal,
No. Windows is Windows. You will need a good Windows antivirus, firewall and antispyware program. It is unlikely that a Windows virus will infect the Mac partition because, ordinarily, Windows doesn't know how to do anything with the HFS+ formatted Mac partition. However, the existence of products like MacDrive means that it is possible to teach Windows how to write to the Mac partition, so I see no reason why a virus could not be programmed to.
If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Yes. Probably/yes.

Yes. Windows does not have the battery management that Leopard has. The battery runs down much quicker in Windows.
You didn't ask, but depending on what kind of engineering you want to study, you may be interested in, or even need to, use some flavour of Unix/Linux. On the one hand, you could always create a partition on a PC--or wipe Windows--and install Linux on the PC. That could even be a good learning experience. On the other hand, Mac OS is Unix, but preinstalled. So with a Mac, you would already have a platform for writing shell scripts, you would have Perl and Python built-in, you would have an IDE (XCode Tools) for C/C++/Objective C/Java as well as gcc and make tools already on the disks which come with the computer, and so on.
