Stupid question about iPhone packing

Just got my iPhone today....Isn't there supposed to be a user guide?

Just to be clear.....I'm all for going green and saving trees. Just wanted to be sure one wasn't sent is all. I like the fact I can look electronically and not have a manual taking up space in some closet.

iTunes is required to transfer iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, 3rd party apps, and selected photos from your computer to your iPhone. iTunes also serves as the sync conduit for contacts and calendar events between your iPhone and the supported address book and calendar application on your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The backup does not include all data on your iPhone. The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content on your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer and the backup doesn't include any photos transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer as well.
This link provides the data that is included with your iPhone's backup.

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

Probably a stupid question about cropping a video..

OK, so I shot an interview with a black background and once I went to edit it, I noticed a red object in the far right corner. Is there a way I can add black over this object or crop it out? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm new to video and editing in general so I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

There are several ways to accomplish what you want.
KGCW has talked about the Crop Effect.
Depending on exactly where the object is, and whether the camera was locked down, it might be possible to duplicate your Clip, place it above your initial Clip, then offset it a bit (Motion>Position), with the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, and then apply the Garbage Matte to that offset duplicate, effectively Cropping out everything, but a small "patch" from the existing background. Note: if the edges of that Garbage Matte are too hard for you, you could create a soft-edged Track Matte, and use that to hold out the rest of the offset duplicate.
Another method, and depending on where, and how large the offending item is, would be to go to the Fixed Effect>Motion, and use Motion>Scale to increase the size of the Clip (do not do too much Scale, or quality will suffer). You might also need to do a bit of Motion>Position, to get that red object behind the Video's Frame Size. This will effectively Crop the object.
Good luck,
Hunt

One (last!) question about SL "packs"

I've read many of the questions about the $29 upgrade vs. the "box" - and the "family" pack, too. I am confused! I have an Intel desktop iMac running 10.4.11. I also have a MacBook running 10.5. Do I have to buy all three of these products to get both machines on the same version of the OS?

You can by the "upgrade" ($29 US), and the "box-set" ($169 US) for a completely legit upgrade and both will then be running Snow Leopard.
Alternatively you can by the only "box-set" family pack, and both machines can run Snow Leopard and iLife 09 and iWork 09.
Cheers,
Rodney

Question about auto packing

Hello,
as i saw the post about auto packing in delivery
the config steps are described as follow
1) Create the packing Material In MM01 of material Type 'VERP'
2) Create packing Instructions from TA: POP1
3) packing Determination in POF1 ... for MM Condition type is RCPT and for SD its is SHIP. So create condition records here.
4) In Customization SPRO-> Logistic Execution-> Shipping-> Deliveries->Define Delivery Types
In Delivery, there is Check box for automatic packing.
First , i tried to create condition value in POF1 for SHIP as condition type and put my Packing instruction e.g. 233 into it.
but it wont work in my delivery e.g. LF.
secondly I tried to create in POF1 for ZVPA, with my Packing Instruction 233, and then it works in my delivery.
So my question is, the condition type for HU/ Auto Packing, how are they connected to my documents/ processes e.g. I use OR as sales order, and LF as delivery.
in the Picture below, i can see both condition type SHIP and ZVPA are using SHIP as acc.sequence. So which condition would be used when I create my delivery ? and how to configure that?
Thanks!

Hi,
this defined in custo:
Click on maintain packing transaction profile and the select for instance 0002 Outbound delivery
Here is defined what procedure determination will be used in entry field Determ. proc. for pkg intrs
Then you define for this procedure what conditions will be available
Select the procedure determination you defined in previous step and you maintain the conditions
If reply answer your question close discussion <Text removed by Moderator for point begging.

A very stupid question about MDic application[SOLVED]

I have tried StarDict in Arch which I think that is the best known dictionary application in Linux world. Since I had to use mouse to access StarDict, I decided to try MDic instead. My problems is that I do not know the default location of MDic dictionary files. After search topics for about two hours, I gave up.
There must be a directory where MDic searches for dictionary files. Where is it? or What MDic configuration file has the information? So, I can install dictionary files int to the directory. I looked for this information in http://mdic.gnufolks.org/ and google.com. I believe this kind of very fundamental information should be in the wiki fo MDic. But I couldn't find one. Maybe, it is because I am so idiot. Would somebody help me how to install MDic dictionary in a appropriate location or the default location? Thank you so much for your helps.
Last edited by since1992 (2010-11-06 11:28:30)

Yes, it was a stupid question. I found that I can configure the location of the dictionary file. I also installed PyGlossary to convert dictionaries for MDic. Everything works fine now. Thank you.

Another question about iPhones and malware/virus

Thought I would post this as a separate question.
iPhone 4s. legit (not jail broke)
I know the iOS is pretty protected against virus and malware. And that you cannot download things onto the phone other than through the app store
But what about what they call drive by downloads? Where you go to a web page and it automatically installs something without asking?

UACount wrote:
thanks all. This is so freaky to me. If the iOS is so safe, why doesnt every PC use it? And I dont mean that sarcastically
It's very safe but it also puts very severe limits on what the user can do to tweak the OS and on things that applications can do. For example, most people would balk at only being able to by applications for their computer from one approved source. In fact, a lot of people don't like that about iPhones. Some people prefer freedom to modify their device to security.
In fact, the Mac OS, which historically been less prone to viruses is adopting some of the feature of iOS.

Probably a stupid question about upgrades...

I originally bought Adobe CS3 Web Premium and upgraded to CS5.5 Design Premium last year. I'm wondering if I upgrade, will my price be based on the CS3 license or the CS5.5 upgrade...?
I'm guessing it will be based on CS5.5, but I want to make sure.
-A. Ka

There are no stupid questions!
Regardless of whether you got to CS5.5 via upgrading to it or by originally licensing CS5.5 is irrelevant in terms of the upgrade price to CS6 as well as the media you use for the upgrade.

A few question about iPhone OS in CS5 and CS5 in general.

Hi,
I'm an IT trainer and I am trying to introduce my students to programming for iPhone/iPod Touch. (They are Secondary 2 students. 14 years old) The school is using a windows computer and CS5 right now is the best for the class (Not a steep learning curve and a user-friendly program). I know about the problems over the iPhone OS in CS5 with Apple but I was told it is still available for use. Furthermore, we have no intention of bringing the apps created to the Apple Store. I've tried the trial version and before I make any purchase, I would actually like to ask a few questions.
Is the iPhone OS in the trial version itself complete? Is there anything left out from the trial version because when I tried it, it seems fine however I did not try publishing to an iPhone due to the certificates. Is there a reason for the certificate? Is there any way around it because if there isn't do I need to get a certificate for every single student? (I'm looking at a class of 40 students.) Is the certificate available for windows platform?
Lets say, I got myself a certificate, create a simple program and then publish it, can I immediately bring it over to iTunes and then sync? Will it work that way? I don't want it to be too tedious for the students to see the end result. I've done quite a few research and have come across people having problems bringing it into their devices. Those people mention about bringing it to Cydia and needing to jailbreak the device. The devices made available for the students are not jailbroken. Will iPhone OS with proper certification still need Cydia for use with their device? Will only jailbroken device allow a CS5 app? I hope you get what I'm trying to say. We as trainers do not support teaching students to jailbreak, so that's definitely a no-no.
Another thing about CS5. Previously I have called customer support about the CS4 the school is using now and the problem with nested animation when publishing the animation as a video file, is this problem still in CS5? Does CS5 allow nested animation to be published as a video file? If it isn't, is there any way around it?
Thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions.
Regards,
Shafuraa

Dear Marco,
Thanks for th links, its quite handy. One more help required from you as its related to Idsktune. I was just reruning the idsktune on Soalris 10 box where zfs file system used, and able to see the below warning
WARNING: largefiles option is not present on mount of /, files may be limited to 2GB in size.
Could you tell me this alert specific to zfs file system, I was searching the mount parameter options specific to file size, but not able to get anything. Below are the system parameters.
bash-3.00$ ulimit -a

Could you guide me on this file size warning specific to zfs file system.
Many thanks in advance for your support,

Stupid questions about keeping important calls on the FX application thread

I'm working on a project that I've been developing for about the last 6 months. I'm using JavaFX as the graphical side, but I'm taking input from a music processing program called Max/MSP, and I'm getting user input from a camera. Both of these things need to run on separate threads from my FX application thread. Up until now, things have been going smoothly. I can manipulate things on screen from my user input, and I have two way communication working between my JavaFX application and Max. Now, however, I need to start actually drawing stuff at runtime. Up until now, pretty much all FX side manipulations of been to just make translations. I now need to create, add, and remove children from Nodes. So I'm of course getting an error saying "not on FX application thread". I understand why it isn't on this thread, and why this is a problem. So I made some changes, so that calls that will make changes to the nodes on the stage, will only note the data, and then make the changes later, on the FX application thread. And then I run into problems, involving my own stupidity...
I have no idea how to get these calls onto the FX application thread. I mean, this should be really easy. I'm obviously missing something. Or maybe I'm just really tired, and have been looking at this for too long, or maybe the fact that it's been 6 months since I wrote this part of the code. But I see my Mainstage class, which extends Application. It has a start function, which sets up all my on screen do-dads (extended from Nodes and such), calls stage.show()... and then seems to end. When I've done things like call translate functions on my nodes from my user input thread, or from my communication from Max thread, things seemed to have worked. But now I'm thinking I might have been handling that wrong from the ground up. It seems likely that I should be having a "main game loop" (it isn't actually a game, but still, same principle) where I can tell the stage to update all the various nodes with the changes that have happened since the last frame, and try to get everything to update in time for the graphics to render at a reliable frame rate. And yet, I'm just not seeing how to do that. I'm sure this should be obvious, but I'm flat out blanking. And the time crunch is starting to descend... Please, if you can point out some standard way of avoiding this hopefully common newb mistake, I would greatly appreciate it!

Checkout the documentation on "Pulse" in the JavaFX Archictecture overview which may help clarify some of your questions.
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/architecture/jfxpub-architecture.htm
In simple terms, as I understand it, the framework will check 60 times a second if anything is dirty and needs repainting. If everything is clean, it will do nothing. If something is dirty, it will repaint it (although the repaint is kind of clever and highly optimized to support region image caching, make use of hardware rendering, etc).
So you can see that the main rendering loop is essentially hidden from you. Instead you construct a SceneGraph, the system checks regularly whether or not the SceneGraph has changed, and if it has it renders the updated SceneGraph.
In most JavaFX applications, you have a UI with controls and add event handlers which respond to control input to update the SceneGraph. In such programs, creating a main loop is unnecessary.
You can set up an animation timeline say at, for example, 30fps (half the pulse rate), then, on every other pulse, nothing will have changed so no redraw will happen. This is only necessary if you are performing an animation or capturing camera input, etc yourself (rather than using a Transition for example).
Actually, if I get my state changes working properly in a runLater call, do I need to also write a main loop? No, you don't need to write a main loop. Depending on the exact application, you may want one, but if you are already getting events generated by your camera input at 30fps, processing each 30fps from the camera in a runLater call would work fine without creating a loop.
But you do need to be careful that you don't send too many runLater calls and eventually overload the JavaFX event queue. For example it makes no sense to make more than 60 runLater calls a second to update the scene, because the system will never update the scene more than 60 times a second anyway.
If you do get a working camera app integrated with JavaFX, please post or blog about it as I am sure many people are interested in such an application.

Few questions about iPhone vs Touch

Okay so i'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch but since I have AT&T already I might get an iPhone instead. But a few things are keeping me undecided.
I know that you need to activate your iPhone and from reading a few things on this website it says that the store you buy it from does it. I already have a wireless contract with AT&T, so do I need to pay some kind of activation fee or can I just stick my SIM card into it.
Also I want to make sure that I can still use my iPhone as a normal iPod if I were to cancel my contract with AT&T. Now I ready on this website that you just need to get the SIM card in your phone that was used to activate it and you should be able to fix it, is this correct?
Now if it is correct what if my SIM card messes up or something? My mom and dad both had their SIM cards go haywire within 24 hours of each other. How can I use it then?
Last, I have been hearing problems about 3G vs WiFi, like youtube going slow when on WiFi but perfect on 3G. Does this problem still exist? Is it fixable? How easy is it to switch from 3G to just WiFi or to basically shut off 3G? I do not pay for a data plan so I do not need to end up with a $200 bill because I accidentally used 3G instead of WiFi.
Last question, can you still use the iPhone like you can the iPod for listening to music in your car and still receive phone calls with no problems?
So what are the pros and cons vs iTouch vs iPhone?

I know that you need to activate your iPhone and from reading a few things on this website it says that the store you buy it from does it. I already have a wireless contract with AT&T, so do I need to pay some kind of activation fee or can I just stick my SIM card into it.
How much will I pay for iPhone 3G?
If you are upgrade eligible and your account is in good standing, you will pay $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.
If you are not currently eligible, you may have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.
In the future, AT&T may offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB.
Is there an upgrade fee?
Yes. There is an $18 upgrade fee which will be billed to your account.
Also I want to make sure that I can still use my iPhone as a normal iPod if I were to cancel my contract with AT&T. Now I ready on this website that you just need to get the SIM card in your phone that was used to activate it and you should be able to fix it, is this correct?
If you were to Cancel your contract please remember terms and conditions apply for early termination. Once De-activated you will not be able to fully update your iPhone when an iPhone update is released as it requires an active AT&T SIM card to confirm account information and unlock the iPhone for full use.
Now if it is correct what if my SIM card messes up or something? My mom and dad both had their SIM cards go haywire within 24 hours of each other. How can I use it then?
You need an active AT&T SIM card to be able to re-activate an iPhone after a Restore and or Update of the OS. De-activated SIM cards will not work.
Last, I have been hearing problems about 3G vs WiFi, like youtube going slow when on WiFi but perfect on 3G. Does this problem still exist? Is it fixable? How easy is it to switch from 3G to just WiFi or to basically shut off 3G? I do not pay for a data plan so I do not need to end up with a $200 bill because I accidentally used 3G instead of WiFi.
Switching back and fourth is pretty easy. The moment you leave a WiFi zone range it will hop onto at&t network automatically. Walk back into range of a WiFi Zone you connected to before and it will auto connect for you. Like when you leave and come back home.
iPhone comes with a $30 unlimited data plan. So you will not go over your data usage only SMS usage if you do not have a plan to cover your usage.
So what are the pros and cons vs iTouch vs iPhone?
Phone comes with a monthly bill and a contract, iPod Touch does not.

Basic (probably stupid) question about APExp

Hi, Just one quick question. The Wi-Fi connection provided by the built in airport in my iMac covers my whole living room, but since I have many apple devices using that same NetWork, sometimes it fails. So before I buy an aiport extreme, I would like to try the airport express, and my question is: The airport express connects (and amplifies) to the wi-fi network of the iMac, so how do I know on which airport am I connecting with my other apple devices? I don't know if I was able to be clear. Thanks a lot!

Just one more question. If the APExp creates a new wifi network how do I have internet in all The devices?
Is it possible the following network configuration?:
iMac - cable - modem ( existing already) - existing AirPort - AirPort express - wifi (with internet) for all the other devices ( iPhone, apple tv, MacBook, ps3 )?
My idea is to have all this devices in network ( sharing files, playlists) with internet access ( which is phisically connected to The iMac)
Is it possible? Or do I have to buy an AirPort extreme AND an AirPort express ( since I have to have a cable To my ps3...And my wife is bugging me about The LAN cable across The living room?) . Thanks

A question about iphone restore/backup?

Ok so I want to do a restore on my iphone, and at first I wanted to do a "rstore from backup" but it says that I do not h ave enough room to process that. So now the only way is to restore as new, and then manually select backup.
So, the question is, if I do restor as new, and then manully backup, Will my apps, music, photo, contacts, texts and everything/data I have on my iphone be backed up? So I won't loose any of these things I listed right? I just did a backup a few minutes ago, so it is the most recent backup.
Also, will my iphone SETTINGS be the same as I have now? because I don't want to readjust and set settings on my iphone again, to be more clear the settings I'm mentioning is like the brightness, oriental lock etc. Will those be set as factory settings or will it be the same as now? just wondering. Thank you so much for your answer!

If you are asking about backing up before restoring your phone, if you wish to do this on your computer rather than iCloud, connect your phone to your comptuer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. At the end of the restore process, choose restore from iTunes Backup and choose this backup to restore from. Your phone will look just as it does now when you're done.
Edit: Except that you may have to re-enter the passwords for your email accounts, etc.

Question about iPhone/iPod and playing songs

Hi all,
This is my first question here, so please be patient with me if I'm rambling, or this is posted in the wrong forum.
I've recently downloaded a language learning course and want to put it on my iPhone so I can learn Italian as I'm on the bus. While it's great having this course at my fingertips, I want to keep these particular audio files from playing when I'm listening to music on the iPod.
So my question(s) is this..is it possible to somehow ADD files to the iPhone (iPod) while excluding them from the general iPod playlist? I don't want to have to skip over these files each time I'm listening to music, but I still want to keep the files on the iPhone(iPod). If it is possible, how would I go about it?
Thanks for all help!
Cheers!
PBEnglish

There's a work around by using playlists in computer's iTunes.
In iTunes, create one playlist with all the songs you want on the iPhone.
Create another with your language courses.
Sync with the selected playlists in iTunes when connected to the iPhone.
(With iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, in Music tab select Sync Music, Selected playlists, artists, ... and checked the two playlists mentioned above. Click Sync button.)
Now on iPhone you can choose music or language course playlist without interferences.
