Stupid question I'm sure but ....

....I need some help in understanding our accounts please!
We have BT together for our home phone number.
We have Unlimited Weekend plan on a separate number for what was our old fax and dial-up internet connection.
We have Total Broadband Option 2 for our internet connection.
Am I being dense but presumably we dont need a separate number to use the broadband in which case I should cancel it?
Any advice would be most welcome!
Thanks

Okay, let me pose a theory: Is it possible my installation is having trouble, in other words is what I'm seeing NOT normal?
Can anyone verify (it would only take a few minutes) my findings? Here are the steps: Create a brand-new project using (just to make sure we're on the same page) the Apple template called "Wedding Classical Index." Next, resize any one of the main elements (labeled "button 1," etc.). OR, change the text to two words, or modify the text size/font. When finished, hit the Simulate button and mouse over the button you modified.
Does the highlight look normal, e.g., underneath the text, etc., or has it moved to the side of the text, or changed into a vertical line, or worse?
I just want to verify that my installation isn't being screwy. Thanks to the kind soul who takes a minute to help me out with this so I can move on...

Stupid question, I'm sure...

I have a PartnerLink, which is a DB Adapter. I am doing a select, and need a date in my where clause, so at the end of the wizard I have setup a parameter called "date".
Just for the sake of early development phase, I have hardcoded a date ('01-may-2006') into a temp variable and assigned it to my "date" parameter. I get this exception thrown at runtime:
file:/C:/OraBPELPM_1/integration/orabpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_TMX2EBS_SoldUnits_1.0.jar/getSoldUnits.wsdl [ getSoldUnits_ptt::getSoldUnitsSelect_site_date(getSoldUnitsSelect_site_date_inparameters,DlysalesCollection) ] - WSIF JCA Execute of operation 'getSoldUnitsSelect_site_date' failed due to: DBReadInteractionSpec Execute Failed Exception. Query name: [getSoldUnitsSelect], Descriptor name: [TMX2EBSSoldUnits.Dlysales]. ; nested exception is: ORABPEL-11614 DBReadInteractionSpec Execute Failed Exception. Query name: [getSoldUnitsSelect], Descriptor name: [TMX2EBSSoldUnits.Dlysales]. See root exception for the specific exception. Caused by Exception [TOPLINK-3001] (OracleAS TopLink - 10g (9.0.4.5) (Build 040930)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.ConversionException Exception Description: The object [xs:datetime 01-may-2006], of class [class java.lang.String], could not be converted to [class java.util.Calendar]. Internal Exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 19.
Anyone know how I should be formatting this date, so it will work in the where clause my DB Adapter is generating? I assume the DB Adapter is attempting to convert to java.util.Calendar because it knows the database field is a date, but I don't know how to prepare my data for that conversion.
And can anyone explain where the type "xs:datetime" in the exception is originating? I don't have any of those in my program, that I know of.
Also, my .xsd is setup to have a type="xs:date". Will that be the right way to go, once I get to the point of actually accepting the date as input? Or should I just use a string?
Thanks for any thoughts.

XML Schema type "dateTime" should be the correct type. The format for this type is "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSS". Try "2006-05-01T00:00:00" instead.

A stupid question I am sure.

I recently bought a copy of Notebook by Circus Ponies and I noticed on the box that it indicated that it was for Macs. It also indicated it was "Universal". Exactly what does that mean?

Your MacBook has an intel chip. The term univerasal means it is written in universal binary, so it will run on the older Macs and the new intel mac natively. If it was not listed as UB it may still work on the intel machines but would run under rosetta and be slower.
It is best to always use Universal Binary software for your MacBook. Check this out for more info.

Stupid Question: Embedding FMS 3.5 videos in other pages...

Hi,
Stupid question, I am sure.    But anyway, I have my shiny new FMS 3.5 server.   There is the multi-rate example which provides a "Cut and Paste" object tag to embed the video....   e.g.
<object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.s mil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manu al&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart= true'/><embed src='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='videoPlayer' allowfullscreen='true' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer'   flashvars='&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynam icStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsCo ntrol=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod& autoStart=true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'> </embed></object>
( cough )
I paste this into a web page hosted on another ( ordinary, nonFMS ) server, I see the player show up, but after 5 seconds I get message that the player cannot connect, please click Play to try again.    Of course same work fine if the page is hosted out of webroot on the FMS server.   So I assume the "example" does not include absolute URL's so I tried hacking in full URL's for the swfs/videoPlayer.swf and the rtmp:/ URLs to no avail.   Which makes it a pretty poor "example" IMO.   I also noticed that the .smil file itself also includes a relative URL to the vod app, I modified that as well - the object tags still works only when hosted from the /webroot folder.
So what should this "example" really look like with absolute URL's to use in a real way?   Also is there some content protection mechanism which is preventing this from being embedded in other pages not hosted locally?
Thanks.

Having the same problem, with no answer in sight. Others have suggested, as you have, to use a third party player. But why should it be so difficult to do this with the videoPlayer.swf file that comes with FMS?
Here's the page: http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Newcode.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports- BaseballvsDumont051010.mov
The page based on Adobe's sample works, but the formatting is awful:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Recent.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports-B aseballvsDumont051010.mov
The FMS sample page says that the player has to be instantiated first. I have tried many different paths linking to the swfs/videoPlayer.swf file to no avail.I have also read these forums and scoured the internet.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2345877#2345877

Should I just give up and use a third party player?

Here's a really stupid question re servers.

I am a techie on individual computers with no experience on servers. The aim is to have a server for 5 computers with the following features- ALL files stored on the server, e-mail server, print sharing, remote access away from the office for both mail and files.
Now all of that is possible I know with apple and I can learn easy enough. What i don't understand is setting up the mail server.
I currently use "oneandone" where my 10 domains are held with about 15 pop3 e-mail accounts that go to individual computers (expensive business)
If I buy the apple os server, do I no longer need the mail services of "oneandone"?? I'm confused as to what the pop or smtp server names if they no longer host the mail..Also if it means you can set up unlimited e-mail accounts at your domain, how does the server know its your domain (i.e. can i not just set up [email protected])
Clearly thats a stupid question and very basic but I'm hunting for an answer!
Thanks so much.

Thanks. Tim. point taken and duly noted. On the mail-
so that means all i need to do is register the
domains and simply pay for the domain names on a
yearly basis. Then I ask the domain registration
company to point MX records to my server and thats
it? (of course..then I set up the server to host all
the mail..)?
That's it. If you use a cheap DIY registration company then you will get access to your own DNS records and so add the MX record yourself. You may want to consider a secondary MX record for when the main server is down - dyndns.org offer this type of service or maybe the domain registration company can offer it. The secondary server service just holds the mail until it can deliver it to the main server.
It's certainly worth spending a bit of time with a temporary server and a few test domains until you understand the server config and have tested everything out.

Stupid Question Help needed....

Hi Folks...
I have a very Stupid Question....
but i think you Folks here can help me Quick...
Here is what i want to do...
01 class ourCar {
02
03 public String color;
04
05 public void PrintValue(String YourValue){
06      System.out.println(this.YourValue );
07
08      }
09 }
10
11 public class myApp {
12 public static void main (String[] args) {
13
14 ourCar Car1;
15 Car1 = new ourCar();
16
17 Car1.color = "red";
18 Car1.PrintValue("color");
19 }
20 }
So the Compiling Problem starts at 05 it seems i cant
get Parameter Names with Strings... so what i want to do is...
type
Car1.PrintValue("color");
and it should print out red
i Know i could write
System.out.println(car1.color);
But i want to do it the other way...
a other thing would be to make
myVar = "car1.color"
and then run
System.out.println(myVar);
but these is also not working...
any idears?
greetings from munich
peter

but where is the Thinking Error i have?
KJKrum wrote i should not use the language this way...
what would be the right way for doing a job like this?You have a very simple example. Reflection which is what both threads suggest as a solution is complex and should be used with caution because of the performance and maintenance problems that can arise.
So one has to wonder, for such a simple problem, does it not suggest that perhaps your design is not correct and if you took another look at it you could come up with a solution that is more appropriate and leads to code with is much simpler.
I believe that was the intent of the suggestion.
For example if you really must access 'attributes' via a key then have you considered that perhaps you don't have attributes but rather 'properties'. And if so there is already a Properties class. And if the Properties class is a little to constraining then the Hashtable might also fulfill what you are trying do. Keep in mind that these depend on whether the best design for your project really requires accessing values via a string.

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.

Stupid question, I know, but after years of using Firefox, on this one I can't find the Page Reload icon?? Please help.

In the past, when I want to refresh a page, I've simply gone to the page reload icon on the toolbar. On the new version, I can't fin the reload icon. Sorry I know this is a very stupid question,, but I just can't find that reload icon. The toolbar is a lot different from previous versions, but I'm sure tht pesky icon must be there somewhere!!

Hi merren,
Not a stupid question at all :) You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading].
You could also benefit from the looking at the article on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars customizing the tool bar]. That will show you not only how to verify that you have the refresh button, but give you options on where it lives as well.
Hopefully this helps!

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?

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.

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!

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!+

A simple, but slightly stupid, question...

Hi all
How do I copy from my IPOD to my computer hard drive.
Thought it was just a drag and drop, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Remember there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
I use Yamipod to do this. There are other programs but I think Yamipod is best

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.)

I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question! I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season. But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop. How do I transfer them or dupl

I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question! I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season. But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop. How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

Stupid question I'm sure but ....
