Stupid newbie question for A1

How do I use my tablet as a mobile phone

hi tathraman,
If you have a WiFi only tablet, you can try to use apps like Viber, Textplus, or similar to call or send messages. Textplus lets you send free text messages to any mobile phone number in US/Canada.
Best regards,
neokenchi

  • Newb Question for burning DVD/CDs

    I have an external DVD writer on my iMac.
    I got the thing last month and an completely new to Apple (sorta)
    Now how do I make a data CD and DVD?
    On Winblows XP all I need to do is select the files, right click and click on SEND FILES TO CD for making data CDs.
    However for DVD I need 3rd party software.
    Will iDVD do the trick?
    Thanks for the looking at this simple newb question.

    Now how do I make a data CD and
    DVD?Drag the files to the icon of the
    blank CD/DVD that appears in the
    Finder.However for DVD I need 3rd party
    software.You might want to try Patc
    hBurn.Will iDVD do the
    trick?No, iDVD is only for making video
    DVDs and it requires a G4 processor.
    Thanks for the tip Duane.
    I was just reading abotu burning CD on another site. It mentions about what you said, drag the files to the CD.
    However I am reading in my profiler that burning is NOT supported by OS X on this CD/DVD writer.
    Will Patchburn or any other software overcome this?
    Thanks

  • Sorry for the stupid newb questions, don't want to make a bad buy

    and I am pretty much an idiot when it comes to technology.
    Here's what I am looking for. Hopefully, one of you kind souls who are far smarter than I am, can point me in the right direction.
    I want an MP3 player for working out. I would really like it to be able to do the following:
    -shuffle playlists I add in without always going through the same songs in the same order.
    -be able to be used with an armband, or at the very least, a belt clip. (definitely prefer armband though)
    -hold enough music to be able to get me through about 2 hours worth of working out.
    -be able to withstand a fair amount of shock and wear and tear, as I also do martial arts training. (no, I am not going to try to cleave anyone with it)
    One of the things I kept noticing when trying to read through specs, was the listed bit rates for songs in MP3 format. Virtually everything I have is at 320, but the highest I've seen listed is 28.
    I'm assuming it will still work, but I wanted to make absolutely sure because I would get extremely frustrated to find out I had to redo a rather huge collection of music.
    I was looking at Creative NOMAD? MuVo? 2 as a logical choice, but I wanted to see if I could get an expert opinion on what might be better. Is 52MB going to be enough machine for what I want, or do I need to look at something in the GB and up dept. Also, how much of a beating will it take? Is there a better choice, even if it costs more money?
    Also, are the players that start at like 5GB pretty bulky? I would think they would be, which is a big cause for concern. I have enough trouble lifting my weights, without worrying about cramping up while trying to lug a piece of Samsonite filled with melodic electrons. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.

    If you're expecting the player to be bumped around I would strongly suggest you get a flash player. The largest you can get is Gb (I think either the MuVo N200 or V200), and you've already mentioned the MuVo? 52Mb player which is equally good. Not sure sure if the MuVo N200/V200 shuffle, but I'm sure the MuVo? does.
    All Creative players will play 320 kbit/s, this is the highest rate you can encode at for MP3/WMA.

  • Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

    Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

  • Probably a stupid Newb question....chkconfig

    Hi all,
    This is a very nice distro, especially if you wanted to learn linux, not just use it with a pretty GUI, and it has met ( sometimes exceeded ) my expectations.
    The searching the forums, using google extensively, the wiki have made the experience most worthwhile.  The first distro was mandrake, which lasted about 1 month because I could not learn anything with it.  Anyway on to the question at hand.   
        What is the Arch linux equivalent of chkconfig?  Or does one have to download the package itself via pacman?
    The reason I ask is that I would like to turn off all unneeded services ( I am a bit of a security hound, at least with a windows box ).   The Linux box will just be a workstation for myself, to do email, web surfing, maybe some online buying and eventually development.   No remote access to the machine is needed for myself ( as it is off, when I am not using it ).
    Hopefully, I phrased the question correctly!   
    Thanks,
    BobL

    Thanks for the follow up Phrakture.   However, I did not quite follow when you said that chkconfig is a wrapper for make calls.   I thought it merely listed running services.   I did check on the make command and I cannot find how chkconfig even relates to what you mentioned.   Then again the article was mentioned in the context of a RedHat article.  So perhaps I am switching terms between different distrubutions....probably not a good idea. 
    I do know what "wrapping" is...with the programming background I have, I just didn't follow your context.
    oh, crap - I mixed it up with checkinstall... my fault  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

  • Photoshop elements mac, newbie questions for webshop

    Hello all,
    My name is Jelle and i have photoshop elements for mac, which i mostly use to create banners, headers and backgrounds for my website www.dagelijkseluxe.nl.
    Though this is my question, i think there are a lot of people like me, bumping in the same problems. Maybe it's an idea to have a webshop webinar someday (or i missed it) for some basic functions mostly used for websites. Like easy banner creation, background adjustments for sites and products, best product presentation, etc.
    Even though i mostly use the guided editing, i sometimes venture off and try to use the full editor. Now, this must be too easy for most of you powerusers, but the background of the webshop is still a bit to dark to my liking. However i feel i have reached all i can do with the different sliders presented in the guided tour.
    Is there an easy way to "mistify" the background or any photo for that matter?
    I also save the files as PNG as per recommendation from the sitebuilder. what's the difference with interlaced and non interlaced saving.
    Thank you in advance for your time!
    Kind regards,
    Jelle Dingemans

    You could use:
    Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur
    That should mystify or blur your image.
    Interlaced is a better method for displaying mainly large images on monitors - but you get a slightly larger file. Small images tend to load very quickly so non-interlaced will keep the file size down.

  • Stupid newbie question

    I am trying to learn JSP. To that end, I use published code to learn the syntax. One set of code is the following:
    NameHandler.java
    package hello;
    public class NameHandler {
        private String username;
        public NameHandler() {
            username = null;
        public void setUsername( String name ) {
            username = name;
              public String getUsername() {
            return username;
    hellouser.jsp
    <%@ page import="hello.NameHandler" %>
    <jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="page" class="hello.NameHandler" />
    <jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*" />
    <html>
    <head><title>Hello, User</title></head>
    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" background="background.gif">
    <%@ include file="dukebanner.html" %>
    <table border="0" width="700">
    <tr>
    <td width="150">   </td>
    <td width="550">
    <h1>My name is Duke. What's yours?</h1>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td width="150"   </td>
    <td width="550">
    <form method="get">
    <input type="text" name="username" size="25">
    <br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    <input type="reset" value="Reset">
    </td>
    </tr>
    </form>
    </table>
    <%
        if ( request.getParameter("username") != null ) {
    %>
    <%@ include file="response.jsp" %>
    <%
    %>
    </body>
    </html>There are three other files, but the problem is not necessarily with the other parts. I compiled the java file and have both the .java and .class file in the same folder. I then packaged the site and uploaded it to my hosting site. When I try to run hellouser.jsp, I get the following error:
    The value for the useBean class attribute hello.NameHandler is invalid
    Now, I did try to find out what the error means on the Internet, but I got somewhat confused. There was suggestions of changing scope to type in the header of the .jsp file. Others suggested declaring a public default constructor. Since I am a newbie to Java and JSP program, I am not exactly sure what that is. Also, the site that published this code had very specific places for folders and their contents for the file to be run. Sadly, I can't exactly copy this structure. How can I tell the code to find the resources it is looking for?
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello,
    you have not included code where you are actually using the bean, something like
    username = request.getParameter("username");
    mybean.setUsername(username);If you want this bean to be available to all pages in the application change the scope to session
    <jsp:useBean id="mybean" scope="session" class="hello.NameHandler" />Sometimes when adding a new class such as NameHandler you need to restart the web server for it to be detected.
    Regarding the constructor, you need a "zero argument constructor", which you have done, i.e. there are no parameters in the brackets for NameHandler().
    Instead of using null you could try initialising the variable with
    private String username = "";but I dont think the problem lies with your class, more likely to be the way you are trying to use it within the JSP

  • Three-and-a-half newbie questions for iTunes...

    Hello,
    I just signed up with iTunes, for the explicit purpose of subscribing to, getting and listening to podcasts.
    I have three quick questions:
    1. When I subscribe to a feed in iTunes, it's quite possible that I only get the most recent podcasts (i.e., one podcast is up to episode #70, but I only got #30-70 in the feed). What is the best way to add (in this case, episodes #1-29) to my podcast library in iTunes?
    2. When using other, 3rd party podcast directories (like podcastalley, podcastdirectory, etc., is it relatively easy to subscribe to the feed using iTunes, or will iTunes only subscribe to feeds that are listed with the iTunes service?
    3. Can I assume, because the files are actually on the machine, that - if I have iTunes installed on two computers, none of the information is transferable? Obviously, the files would need to be moved, but the subscriptions also need to be re-established?
    3a. Assuming I did re-subscribe to all the same podcasts on the second computer, but, rather than "getting" the old podcasts, I simply copied them from one computer to the other (same folder) - is iTunes intuitive enough to see that those podcasts are actually in my library on both computers, or do I have to go through downloading the podcasts a second time to get them listed in the library?
    Thanks for your help!
    Chris

    Hello,
    1) I understand the feed may not have those podcasts listed any longer. If I visit the website, however, I can see that the older podcasts are still housed and listed there (but the feed may not include them any longer). How do I get those older podcasts into my iTunes library? Do I just download them and drop them into the iTunes folder in "My Music."
    3) Which is correct - if I subscribe to the feed, but then, I copy all the downloaded podcasts onto the other computer (in the same place in "My Music" - will iTunes see that those files are there, and reflect that in my library?
    Thanks!

  • Probably a Stupid Newbie Question, but....

    Picked up a 8300 series Curve a couple of weeks ago.  Had it synched with my Outlook on my pc.  About a week ago the synch stopped working and I noticed that when the phone was plugged into the USB cord the little charger symbol would only stay lit up for about 7 seconds before disappearing.  On the Desktop Manager screen its says "Device Connected: (PIN): None"  Thinking it was perhaps a faulty USB cord (after unplugging and restarting it several times) I bought a new USB Cord, and now the charger symbol won't even light up and it remains "Device Connected: (PIN): None" 
    Wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
    Thanks

    First off, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager.

  • Newbie Question for the plug in

    Hey brothers,
    How can i connect a plug-in in logic pro 8?
    i want to use the sound from the plug in call first call horns?
    can anyone help me !?
    Thx for your opinion.

    Okay, this is a package. One the one hand you probably have the Kontakt Player (which is the actual Plug In) and you have a library of samples. The Kontakt player should be where I said earlier, however, the samples library can be installed pretty much anywhere you like. The samples library is by far the biggest part of the installation.
    Use the installer to install the AU plugin.
    After that, open Logic, create a new project, create one stereo Software Instrument track, then go to the channel strip on the right of the window. It has a fader and a level meter and several 'slots', the oblong rectangular boxes labeled
    Inserts, Sends, and I/O. Longclick (=click and hold until menu pops up) the top I/O slot. From the popup, go to AU Instruments folder almost at the bottom, and there should be a Native Instruments folder, and in that there is Kontakt Player. Keep mousing until you have highlighted the Stereo item. Choose that. The Software Instrument Kontakt Player will now be loaded on that track. Now in the player you still have to load samples before you can play anything.
    And I'ld stringly recommend you read the manual, chapters 1 to 4 and chapter 10. It'll give you some basic insight in using Logic.
    regards, Erik.

  • A Newbie question for forms and report...

    hi,

  • Newbie question for pe11. Why is it splitting my clips into tiny pieces and how can I stop it?

    I've upgraded from PE7 to PE11 and the new one is a lot more complicated but sadly the online help is not very helpful. I think I can puzzle most of it out but my biggest issue is that the timeline display is now full of dozens of tiny clips and I can't see to do what I want to do in the timeline.
    The attached screenshot shows a 3 minute piece of one video file and it shows up as dozens of tiny clips. I've cut the video at the timeline but the view is so complicated I can't even see what I am doing. is there a view setting that works like the old PE7 where each clip of video is one square on the timeline? I don't really understand...When I have a clip of video I am happy with, I just want it to be a single entity, why does it keep showing it in chunks?

    One can turn "Scene Detection" ON, or OFF. Some users like it one way, or the other. This is done in the Capture module, when one doing a Capture from a miniDV tape, whether SD, or HD. You probably want Scene Detection OFF.
    For getting up to speed on PrE 11, I cannot recommed Steve Grisetti's Basic Training Series too much. Here is a list of some useful resources: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3953827#3953827

  • Stupid Newbie Question-Sending STP back to FCP

    So, I send my FCP 6 project to a STP multitrack project. I do some mixing, add sound effects, etc.
    Now what? How do I get it back into FCP? Do I even bother? Should I export the audio as AC3 in STP and the video as MPEG-2 and join the two streams in the DVD creator?

    First, I duplicate the timeline in FCP so that I keep a timeline intact with original audio. Once I finish my work in STP, I export the mix as an aiff. I bring that aiff into my duplicated timeline in FCP and use it to completely replace the audio in that timeline. There's no way to maintain a multi track project going from FCP to STP and back again. Should you need to open the aiff file in FCP, STP will open the multi track project you originally started with.

  • Newbie question for LogOn trigger and Connection String

    Hi,
    I would like to set certain session variables in the logon trigger. Is there a connection string attribute or some other way to pass a string or some data to the session.
    regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    my concrete problem is that our application only uses one user. eg. appuser . During the login process of the application the "real" user name, language and other attributes are set in a packag as global variables.
    This works fine, but as soon as a usr logs on the DB without our application login then these are ofcourse not filled. My idea was to maybe to be able to enhance the connection string and to be able to pass some more information to the logon trigger.
    regards

  • Newb question for uploading photos to Ipod 5g

    I have about 10 gb of photos that i have transferred to my ipod. I used iTunes to do this. The problem that I'm having is that whenever I want to add new photos, perhaps even just 5-10, it looks like it has to recopy all 10 gb to the iPod. Do I have to go through this process each and every time I want to add just couple of photos? Each sync takes about 20 minutes...there's gotta be an easier way.

    In my experience, only newly added photos are copied to the iPod. There's an "iPod Photo Cache" folder stored in My Documents/Pictures (or similar on a Mac) that keeps a copy of photos on the iPod so that iTunes don't have to re-sample and re-copy pics each time you sync. If you delete that folder, then it'll re-sample and re-copy each pic again.

Maybe you are looking for
