Stupid question (but please answer)
Hey all,
I have a question, it is probably extremely lame, but please resist laughing at me.
I have a desk in my house that I love to study, problem is that it is in the direct sunlight in the morning. Will it damage or warp my LCD display if I put the computer there near the window? I often leave my Acer there, however, it has a plastic body not an alumium one.
Thanks,
Stu
I doubt it will damage it; but a general rule is to keep LCDs (or any electronics) away from direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

Please help me! I'm sure this is a stupid questions, but I can't figure out how to name a blank document...thanks
Lynn
Had me stumped for a while too ...
On the screen that presents all your "Blank" documents, simply touch the word "Blank" under the preview (not the actual preview) and you'll get a dialogue to name your document.

HT204053 Stupid question, but how do I get to/access my iCloud?!
Stupid question, but how do I get to/access my iCloud? All this time, I've been under the impression that every time I plug in & lock my screen, things on my phone are backed up in my cloud, but I've never been able to find it to check! And, yes, I'm blonde! Please help me!
You can't see the backup, all you can do is confirm that it was successfully completed. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and look at the very bottom under Back Up Now. It will show the time/date of your most recent backup. If you see this, you do have a backup in iCloud and can restore it to your device in the future if you ever need to. (You also can't see any of the files in a backup, you can only restore it to your device.)

Hi!
This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?
And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.
Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

Stupid Question, but.......
I run TM on three Macs (two iMacs and a MacBook Pro). I really do not know much about TM other than once set-up it runs pretty much on its own backing up the computers. Does it back everything up including iTunes? I know that this is probably a stupid question but if it does back up iTunes, is there a need to separately back up iTunes to DVDs/CDs or another external drive?
Thanks!thebark4 wrote:

Definitely NOT a stupid question. And the answer is . . . it depends on how much risk you want to take. As great as locally-attached external drives and Time Capsules are, they may not protect you from fire, flood, theft, or direct lightning strike on your power lines. So if your music (or other data) is really important to you, and difficult, expensive, or impossible to replace, then yes, you need an off-site backup in addition to TM.
There are many ways to do this. Some folks alternate between a pair of portable externals with Time Machine, keeping one attached for a week or so, then swapping with the other in their safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc. (You do have to tell TM when you do this, and shouldn't go much longer than 7 days between swaps.)
Others copy their data to DVD/RW(s) periodically, and take them off-site.
Still others use a different app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to copy just their iTunes folder, and/or iMovie folder, etc., to a smaller portable external and take that off-site.
Still others, if their data isn't too large, store a copy online, either via a MobileMe subscription on their iDisk, or with a 3rd-party service like Mozy.
And there is an option within iTunes to do incremental backups to CDs/DVDs. I haven't used it, but it's been recommended here.
This may seem a bit like wearing a belt plus suspenders, but backups are one area where many of us have learned, often the hard way, that +Paranoia is Prudent!+ -

Hey Guys
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but ive been wrecking my head now for about 2 hours on it, and cant find any help on the net.
Im looking to create an image to add to a j2me application. And basically it cant find the image.
The image is in my c:\images folder and its called pike.jpg, when i use the following the code it does not find the image
image = Image.createImage("C:/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:/\images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:\\images/pike.jpg");Yet when i place it in my working directory and use
image = Image.createImage("/pike.jpg");It works fine, basically how do i point to the directory c:\images\pike.jpg in java

Thanks. Now that is clarified, I can see from the documentation:
The name parameter is a resource name as defined by Class.getResourceAsStream(name) . The rules for resolving resource names are defined in the Application Resource Files section of the java.lang package documentation.
So it's not a file name. The string you pass must be findable via the classpath.
So, if C:\images is included in your classpath (which you'll need to do for this example), then just use "/pike.jpg" and have that file live in the images directory only. -
this may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?
No.
It is not a replacement for a computer.
It mirrors the selected content of your computer.
The only programs that can be loaded on an ipad are those found in the app store. -
Stupid question, but i NEED an answer

"BASIC QUESTION" !PLEASE ANSWER THIS BASIC QUESTION !
HI EVRYONE!
I AM AN ENGG. STUDENT N JST STARTED WITH ORACLE SQL. I HAVE A QUESTION--"IS "TAB" TABLE A MASTER TABLE?AND ARE THE TABLES,THAT WE CREATE UNDER "TAB" TABLE, THE ROWS OF "TAB" TABLE?"..OR IT CAN BE PUT LIKE "CAN WE CALL THE Tables created inside tab as rows of tab table?"...please answer ....i need it badly!! :(user8979199 wrote:

SQL> select * from all_objects where object_name = 'TAB';
OWNER OBJECT_NAME SUBOBJECT_NAME OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID OBJECT_TYPE
SYS TAB 2566 VIEW
PUBLIC TAB 2568 SYNONYM

{code}
As you can see TAB is a *view* that is owned by the SYS user and is actually a view on the data dictionary of the database.
AND ARE THE TABLES,THAT WE CREATE UNDER "TAB" TABLE, THE ROWS OF "TAB" TABLE?"..OR IT CAN BE PUT LIKE "CAN WE CALL THE Tables created inside tab as rows of tab table?"You don't create tables under the TAB view. You create tables in your schema and the TAB view will show you the tables that exist/are owned by your schema.
The view, as with any view, when queried, returns rows showing the table names.
...please answer ....i need it badly!! :(Everyone wants their question answering. Why should your question take any priority over anybody elses, just because you want it badly. I'm sure if we asked the other people with questions they would also like an answer badly, but they aren't so rude as to expect people drop their own work just for them. Please don't ask questions in that manner again. -
A lot of questions but few answers. That is a fact.
A lot of questions and few answers. That is a fact. My question is about deregistering a kaputt PC, and synchronizing iPod and iPod with a replacement PC w/o losing content. I had a Toshiba with tummy trouble sychronized with and iPod and an iPad. I bought content on all three and added content from CDs I already had. They synchronized fine. I deleted iTunes on the troubled Toshiba and installed it on a new Gateway. The Gateway has far less content on iTunes and threatens to delete content from the iPod or iPad if I synchronize. All I want to do is get all the shtuff together again on at least the Gateway and the iPod, preferably the iPad also. Also, how to deregister the kranky Toshiba given that iTunes is deleted on it. Why am I appealing to someone out there with time on their hands. Doesnt Apple employ people for that? If not, its high time they did.
Apple does employ people to help with technical problems. They're called Apple Technical Support, available by phone (use the Contact Us link at the lower-right of any Apple web page), and Geniuses, available at any Apple Store.
As to your questions, I'm not completely clear on where you have what content, but if it's all on your iPod or iPad, then you can transfer the content back into iTunes (a subject which, by the way, has been covered here many times already). For content purchased from the iTunes Store, see this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
For content not purchased from the iTunes Store, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10570955#10570955
As to your question about "deregistering", I presume you're referring to authorization to the iTunes Store. It would have been best to have deauthorized the Toshiba before you uninstalled iTunes. You cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover the now-useless authorization.
