Strange solution to problem of buttons dissappearing in Encore 2.0
I've pulled my hair over a problem with buttons dissappearing at preview. They are nice looking in the menu window, I can route them and so on, but when previewing they simply dissappear, or sometimes become partly visible, or sometimes become displaced.
Now, I found that one solution to this is to place a new button in the menu, possibly onto the same place as another button already there. Then a immediately remove the newly placed button. After that problem seems solved, at least until I move or handle my buttons again. Might someone explain how this is possible? What in Encores internal workings can explain this? Deleting the cache folder didn't solve it. mind you.

Nikolaj
I have not analyzed the buttons in PS. How do I do that? I'll have to export the buttons as PS-files first, right?
You are correct. Just use Edit in Photoshop, and the program will launch, and then Open your Menu.
Once in PS, you will want to make sure that the Layers Palette is Open and visible. You will see several Layer Sets. Most will be your Buttons. When you click on the little triangle, at the left-side of the Button Layer Set, it will "twirl-down" all of the included Layers. Note that the Button Layer Sets, and each enclosed Layer will have some odd names. The first several characters in those names are VERY important. These MUST be correct, for the PSD file to function as a Menu.
Also, don't worry about any mis-steps. That comes from not knowing the program yet.
Take note that just because I have not encountered a problem with EncoreDVD 2.0, does not mean that it does not exist. I have done many, many Projects, and burned many successful discs, but then I do things the same exact way for each Project. Pretty boring, I will admit, but if it works, then I have few reasons to change anything.
Now, I do get to exercise my artistic side with the Menus and the navigation, but the rest of it is rather "by the numbers."
One note on Edit in Photoshop: this operation will create a TMP file of your Menu. It is THAT file, that is Opened. Look at the name. It'll be rather cryptic. When you make a change, in PS, and hit Save (Ctrl+S), those changes are transferred back to Encore. Do not do a Save_As, unless you have a good reason to do so, or Encore will still have the old Menu, and it will not update.
Also, there are instances, where a simple Save does NOT update Encore. Through trial and error, I have found that if one does three (3) Saves, this gets past whatever that glitch is. Normally, I just use Ctrl+S, at least 3x, during the editing process, whether I have any indication that the Save is not working, as it should. It has now become habit for ALL Menus in my workflow, though the problem seems to only happen about 1:8 Menus.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - If you have any questions on your Menu and your Button Layer Sets, do not hesitate to do a screen-cap, and attach that. Hint: use the little "camera" icon in the lower-middle of the editing screens Toolbar. We'll all take a good look at it. I'd Save that as a JPEG @ ~ a compression of 9 on the PS scale, so we can read the "fine print."

I have a strange 3g data problem.
I have a strange 3g data problem. At home I have zero 3G connectivity even though all bars are showing and says "3G" and wifi is "Off" ... unless I am on the phone and then magically the 3G data connection works perfectly!! Does anyone have any idea what is happening? Also when I bring my phone to my dad's or my friends house the problem disappears!! Is this a hardware or a AT&T network problem? os is 4.3.3
Also called ATT and they said there was no problem with the network and that it was a hardware issue. Also restored the phone several times but the problem did not go away.OK, no trouble shooting. The first thing I'd attempt is restarting in Safe Mode. If you still don't have luck try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset, it wouldn't hurt to do the SMC reset a couple of times. If still no luck let us know.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Problem placing buttons on top of a background image
My knowledge of Java isn't the greatest and I am currently having problems placing buttons on top of a background image within a JApplet (this is also my first encounter with Applets).
I'm using a Card Layout in order to display a series of different screens upon request.
The first card is used as a Splash Screen which is displayed for 5 seconds before changing to the Main Menu card.
When the Main Menu card is called the background image is not shown but the button is.
While the Applet is running no errors are shown in the console.
Full source code can be seen below;

Edited by: bex1984 on May 18, 2008 6:31 AM1) When posting here, please use fewer comments. The comments that you have don't help folks who know Java read and understand your program and in fact hinder this ability, which makes it less likely that someone will in fact read your code and help you -- something you definitely don't want to have happen! Instead, strive to make your variable and method names as logical and self-commenting as possible, and use comments judiciously and a bit more sparingly.
2) Try to use more methods and even classes to "divide and conquer".
3) To create a panel with a background image that can hold buttons and such, you should create an object that overrides JPanel and has a paintComponent override method within it that draws your image using the graphics object's drawImage(...) method
For instance:
an image jpanel:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class BackgroundImage
// **** this will have to be changed for your program:
private static final String IMAGE_PATH = "../../m02/a/images/Forest.jpg";
private BufferedImage myImage = null;
private JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel()
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{ // *** here is where I draw my image
super.paintComponent(g); // **** don't forget this!
if (myImage != null)
g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, this);
public BackgroundImage()
imagePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 450));
imagePanel.add(new JButton("Foobars Rule!"));
try
myImage = createImage(IMAGE_PATH);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch (URISyntaxException e)
e.printStackTrace();
private BufferedImage createImage(String path) throws IOException,
URISyntaxException
URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(path);
if (imageURL != null)
return ImageIO.read(new File(imageURL.toURI()));
else
return null;
public JPanel getImagePanel()
return imagePanel;
}and an applet that uses it:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class BackgrndImageApplet extends JApplet
@Override
public void init()
try
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
@Override
public void run()
getContentPane().add(new BackgroundImage().getImagePanel());
catch (InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();
catch (InvocationTargetException e)

Making custom buttons dissappear when not selected
I am trying to get around the limitiation of not being able to add audio to a layered menu item.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think if I create my own buttons (that would reflect the same look as the active layers of the Photoshop file) then I could have audio in the Menu with the same look using the buttons I create.
Here is my question ... Is it possible to have a button dissappear when its not in the "activated" or "selected" state? I figure that I can create the button to look like the same active state and have the normal state revealed in the background graphic when the button is deselected. I just don't know how to make the button invisible or transparent when its not "selected" or "activated"
Thanks in advance
Lou ..Yes use overlays for the buttons and do not highlight them in normal state (though you may consider having something showing for normal state so people know it is there as oppossed to totally not visibale)

K7N2 Delta-L: Strange cold boot problem & solution
My K7N2 Delta-L has a problem cold booting when the vcore is set in the bios at 1.65v of higher. After a cold boot, you get a blank black screen. I noticed that even if you run at default speeds but set the vcore to 1.65v of higher the problem still occurs. There is no problem rebooting however.
I found the following solutions:
1. After you power up and get a blank, hit the reset button.
2. Don't unplug your PC. My PC is connected to a AVR and after I power down the PC I usually turn the AVR off. If i do this, than the computer will have a booting problem if I try to boot it up 30 minutes later or so. Now if I don't unplug it/power off the AVR than everything is fine.
I don't understand why it acts the way it does though.
Does anyone know of any other solutions?Have you cleared the cmos. If you do be sure you have the power turned off don't move the cmos jumper with the power on.
I found that turning off power at power supply and unpluging, than turning on the computer the fans will spin just a little this drains all the power. Clear cmos 2-3 than return to
1-2 position.
Than plug the power back in and turn it back on, than try the computer again. -
Solution to problems synchronizing with Mercedes C...
Warning: this is long but worths reading if you have trouble synchronizing your Nokia's phone book/addressbook with COMAND APS.
I have spent hours looking on Mercedes and Nokia forums for my problem and did not find a posted solution. I have now found a solution myself so I decided to post here hoping it will help other people.
First my issue: I have an E-Class W211 (Apr 2005, UK) with phone pre-wiring, the Mercedes SAP v2 cradle and a Nokia E61i (S60 3rd edition). Till about a week ago the whole was working perfectly: was able to make/receive calls, read/send SMS, synchronize the phone's and SIM contacts to the COMAND, etc.
About a week ago I upgraded the firmware on my phone to overcome some other (irrelevant to this) issues I had. When I got into my car after the phone's firmware upgrade I naturally needed to pair the phone with the COMAND/SAP Cradle. I did everything according to the manual that came with the SAP v2 Cradle and thought all would be good again. Then, I try to re-sync the COMAND's address book with that of my phone's by following the manual's procedure (dial 0000).
The synchronization started ok: phone exited Remote SIM mode, got indication "Please Wait" on Comand and phone went into Sync mode. Almost immediately though I get on the phone "System Error" and just the option to press ok. I pressed ok and few seconds later the synchronization process ended, Remote SIM was activated again but phonebook was not loaded to COMAND. I repeated the same process over and over again, removed pairing and went over the whole pairing process from the beginning but still no luck. Unfortunately neither the phone or the COMAND would give any information on what the problem was.
I checked for many hours on Nokia and Mercedes forums, on Google, etc. but still no luck. I found quite a few people facing the same problem mainly with N95 and E-series phones but no solution. Strange thing was that all were facing the problem from the very first time they tried to transfer their phone's contacts to COMAND while in my case in the past it was working and stopped working after upgrading my phones firmware.
After hours of trial and error (removed recently installed phone applications, restored old phone backups, etc.) without luck I thought the problem would be the new firmware on my phone. But... I had no way to go back to the old firmware but even if I had I would cause the same issues that the new firmware solved again (so "rolling back" the firmware was not a real option). So I started going through every possible "core" phone setting that could have changed with the firmware upgrade to see what could be wrong and voila: if you go to the Connect->Sync menu on your phone you will see there a sync profile called PC Suite. Select it, click Options, Edit Profile and then, Connection. You will see that one option is Server Version. If selected Server Version is 1.2 underneath there is another option called Server ID. These two (Server Version and Server ID) are what cause the problem. You have the option to edit the PC Suite profile and set Server Version to 1.1 (then Server ID option disappears) and synchronization with COMAND will work. But as you might have side effects with PC Suite in this way, the ideal thing to do is to create a new sync profile, copy the settings from the PC Suite profile (you are prompted for this) and then, go and change this new profile so that Server version is 1.1. That was it (at least in my case) and I hope this will be helpful for others too. I also had Mail For Exchange installed on my mobile and removed it but I don't think this was the issue (will actually re-install MfE on my mobile now).
Obviously, this Server Version 1.2 option did not exist on the old firmware of my phone so there was nothing to configure and all was working ok seamlessly but when it came out and set as the default by Nokia caused the incompatibility with Mercedes COMAND.
Good Luck!Thanks for a thorough description of your problem and devised solution.
I was getting very happy with your description of facts, for I recognized them all. However, in my case your solution did not work: I did change back to Server Version 1.1 of the synchronization profile and still get the "System Error" message.
I have no doubts whatsoever that this happened with the 110.07.127 firmware upgrading.
Do you have any other clue on how to proceed from here?

Solution to problems loging in to Outlook Web Access (solution here)
Hey all, i had to share. From what I've read a lot of people, including me are having problems loging into their Outlook Web Access pages. Just like many, mine would connect, ask for my login/pass and then just sit there trying to load the page. Here's the solution:
Instead of going to: email.companyname.com/exchange
point iPhone Safari to: email.companyname.com/oma
I think that's a cell phone, low bandwith/txt only version, which still lets you access all the info that the usual OWA lets you access.
But the extra tip is, that if after going to the "oma" site, you point Safari to the "/exchange" site--for some reason it will work.
Hope this helps everyone.We found this was the solution as well. Its strange but it works.
Once you get logged into OMA (text only version) then it goes into OWA (graphical version) without any problems.
Great find. -
Specific problem with buttons and states
Hello,
I first apologize for using Google Translate :-(
I have a problem with InDesign not solve. It is for a digital publication.
My goal is:
A 'gallery' button is pressed and the ball image appears with three buttons: "Previous image", "Next image" and "close gallery".
I do not want the gallery to be visible, or buttons that control, until the button is pressed "gallery", so I think all buttons except "gallery" with the "hidden until activated" option selected.
I want the gallery, and buttons that control it, disappears when I press the button "close gallery".
What I call "Gallery" is an image that fills the screen.
After placing the image on your site have become the property button "Hidden until activated."
Then convert this button in order to several states (what I will call "button states") and by the successive states with the images I want to show in the gallery.
I think the interactions of the buttons.
When button "gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- "Go to state"
- Hide "gallery"
- Show "close gallery"
- Show "previous picture"
- Show "next image"
- Show "button states."
The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- Show "gallery"
- Hide "close gallery"
- Hide "previous picture"
- Hide "next image"
- Show "button states."
The buttons "Previous Image" and "Next Image" are assigned, respectively, to go to previous state and go to the next state.
When button "close gallery" I assign the following "I click the"
- Show "gallery"
- Hide "close gallery"
- Hide "previous picture"
- Hide "next image"
- Hide "button states."
I put it up and working properly until I press "close gallery". Then I hide the buttons "close gallery", "previous image" and "next picture" but it keeps me visible "button states" showing the last image that was shown.
Do not know how to fix this and I'm going crazy!
Please can anyone help me?
The solution may be another approach but without using "Folio Overlays".
Thank you very much.I've moved your post to the DPS forum.
I'm afraid the way you're doing this is not going to work with DPS.
This should all be done with a multi state object. The first state would contain nothing but a button to go to the first state. After that set up each state with the proper buttons. Without seeing the file it's a bit difficult for me to envision exactly what you want to do. -
Nokia Maps & problem with '#' button
It looks like my '#' button changed its working in the Nokia Maps application. The pressing causes unpress and vice versa. So, when I release the button, it keeps zooming out until I press it again. Strange, because it works incorrectly only in this application.
Maybe someone clever could give me a hint to solve my problem?
I can observe it in the newest version of Nokia Maps and hard reset doesn't solve my problem.
Please for some clues.Is it just a problem in the maps application? It sounds rather odd... the button may be sticking, so I'd recommend getting it to your nearest Nokia Service Centre as soon as possible

Problem drag buttons on bottom toolbar in IB
I add a toolbar in the bottom view by IB. But I can not drag UIBarItem or button on the toolbar. The button bounced back and did not appeared on the toolbar. It also happened for Navigation Bar. Anything wrong?
Thanks for the thorough answers to my questions, Charlie.
CharlieCL wrote:
I set the toolbar in the view selection from unspecified to toolbar. There is no
button on the toolbar.
I think you've been trying to add a real toolbar object by asking IB to display a simulated toolbar at the bottom of your view.
When you select your content view in IB, open the Attributes Inspector and expand the "Simulated User Interface Elements" panel, you have the choice of adding placeholders to your view. These can be very useful when the view controller's edit window doesn't display a bar which will be visible at run time.
For example, if you create a nav controller in your code, its nav bar will normally be visible at the top of every controlled view--i.e. the view of each controller on the stack--at runtime. But you won't see that bar in the xib file belonging to each of those controllers. That's when you might want to add a "simulated nav bar" to the edit window. The placeholder keeps you from accidentally putting some of your view content where it will be covered by the bar, and lets you see how the screen will look at runtime.
Since a simulated bar never causes a real bar to be created at runtime, IB won't let you add controls to that bar.
So the solution to your question is to always drag a bar object from the IB Library when you intend to specify creation of a real bar at runtime. You shouldn't have any problem adding controls to a bar you obtain from the Library (as you confirmed in the answer to question 4).
