The most stupid question by me

I have a new ipod. How many computers can I connect it to?
My kids say three or five (depending on the weather).
The reason I'm asking is:
1. My nano is not recognized by my mac running OS 10.3.9
2. I bought a new iBook, due five days from now.
3. My two kids run windows and will be getting new iBooks for gifts soon. I would like to use their computers for the next four days to upload onto the nano.
Is there a connection restriction to the ipod preventing me from further use?

You can connect the iPod to as many computers as you like. The limit of 5 computers you are hearing about has to do with the number of computers that can be authorised to play content that you purchase from the iTunes Store. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

This is probably the most stupid question ever but..

how do i log out of the apple site on the computer? lolz. i am using the school computer and i dont want to leave and then have my account used.

What "Apple site" are you referring to? If you are referring to the iTunes Store, go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Sign Out".
If that's not what you mean, please explain further.
This wouldn't seem to be related to an iPod touch, BTW.

Probably the most stupid question ever....

Hey,
Is there any possible way to upgrade the processor speed? Or do i have to buy a new computer with a faster processor to get the job done?
Thanks in advance
(i don't know anything about computer hardware what so ever)

Read this article before you buy a new MacBook. May help you save some money.
Why is My MacBook Running Slow?

What are the most common questions in the forums?

I have my own ideas about what are the questions we see asked over and over and over again in here. Everyone post your ideas here so we can compile a FAQ and maybe post it somewhere (Virum, your new site? :) )

Please do my homework/coursework/think for me
This has to be by far the most common type of question asked on the forums.
Classpath questions
HashCode questions
Pointer vs Reference Debate (totally spurious but people spew 100's of pages arguing about something that is perfectly obvious)
A very good Thread that is probably 1000's of entries long by now is the
"How to get your questions answered promptly" one (or however this is called). A recap of that published somewhere would be of tremendous value, especially if it was presented as a page you had to go through before landing in the forums to post your latest "Java Challenge" aka "do my coursework" on the boards.

Possibly the most Stupid response every received

Dear Kulamani,
The question that I wanted answering is why is it not NOW possible to buy iTunes from other countries, in the past this has not been a problem?
Credit Cards can be used to purchase other items on-line from other countries through-out the World, from the UK.
Is it that iTunes are now going to offer music from other countries on the UK web-site? If not how do we get music that we may wish to purchase from other countries onto our iPod, do we now need to buy a house in that Country and become a resident?
I would like an explanation to these points.
Many thanks
Best regards

Dear Customer,
Welcome again to Apple iTunes store support. This is Kulamani again to assist you regarding this issue.
I understand that you live in United Kingdom and you wish to purchase items from the iTunes Store in Germany. If you would like to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country.
Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.
For example, the U.S. iTunes Store can only sell to U.S. residents using credit cards or debit cards that were issued in and for the U.S., or U.S. residents using iTunes Gift Certificates or Gift Cards that were purchased in the U.S.
Please note that to purchase from an iTunes Store for a particular country, you must:
- Be located in that country
- Have a valid billing address in that country
- Pay with either a credit/debit card issue in that country or an iTunes Gift Certificate or Card purchased in that country

No, this does not help at all. I can order from Amazon in other countries - so why can I not download music from other countries? This used to be no problem at all and I was charged in pounds for it. This shows again that Apple is rubbish - the whole palaver of having to have Apple connections to just load your I-pod is bad enough. Plus: you have not commented on the rather sad stereotyping of Germans as either Nazis or beer-guzzling oafs as suggested by the 'German' music section. I would like to have a response to this, since I find this offensive and racist.
Yours,

2) Open iTunes.
3) Go to the iTunes Store.

It has always been a violation of the terms of use of itunes store to buy from a store of which you are not a resident ( as verified by cc billing address) and from a country in which you are not physically located.
This is not new. You may have gotten away with it in the past, but you shouldn't have.

The most unusual question that the smartest person could not figure out

ok here is the question
why after installing both the itunes program and ipod touch on my computer it worked fine for a couple months, but then itunes started acting up and my computer would only sometimes know it was my ipod that was there. now i get nothing itunes says no ipod found and windows says unknown device. i did everything i could aside from completely putting my ipod into restore mode. i downloaded itunes 8.2, i checked everything was connected properly and it still wont work. So basically my computer says unknown device and itunes wont recognize that that is my ipod. Help

playstation forums are alot different
thank you dave for your attempt at help
i have decided that my laptop does not have the power input to accept the ipod touch so i have gone out and bought a dell. now i did not buy it just for the ipod but for the fact that my need for a desktop was rising. After installing itunes 8.2 and syncing my ipod touch everything works fine
kudos to dave being the only one in a bunch of days to answer this
i have however looked at all of the ipod articles and it directs me to an ipod touch only article which is not helpful at all and i think that apple needs to come to realize that that is not the only problem that people are facing.
it is also funny how if one ipod user has a problem then over 1,000,000 people have that problem too lol

Error #1009 - the most stupid AS3 loader issue ever !!!

Hi,
(It's about AS3 / Flash CS4)
As a developer I often have no controll what is the content of a movie being runtime-loaded. I must presume I have no control on it at all - movie clips are marketed and sold and the only thing expected is that they play nice. And they are supposed to be runtime-loaded by a simple "progress-bar" style loader.
The loader movie itself is fine. Though it's not sort of these tricky "no timeline, document-class only" it used to do the job.
The main code is as folllows:
FRAME 2:
var thisRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("movie.swf");
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var newContent:MovieClip;
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, doneLoading);
function doneLoading(evt:Event):void{
    newContent = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
        //stage.addChild(newContent); -- please notice I commented this line !!!
FRAME 3:
thisLoader.load(thisRequest);
As you may see, it's nothing special - just regular loader stuff here...
But the issue is that it throws errors just in case of some loaded SWFs.
Another words - the content and structure of movie.swf impact the loader performance!
Too often I notice this kind of error being thrown right after "thisLoader.load(thisRequest);" is execuded:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at movie_fla::MainTimeline/frame8()
Right after - that means BEFORE adding loaded movie to the Stage childlist etc.
I said - right after movie.swf is invoked by the "load" command !
This is really rediculous!
I do not expect this sort of behavior! I expect the loaded movie to be quiet unless explicitly added to stage with:
stage.addChild(newContent);
But in a contrary - it seems the loaded movie becomes somewhat active right after being loaded - even before being added to stage. And in some cases this prematured activity leads to hard-to-controll errors! Please notice the error is thrown despite line where loaded content is added to stage is commented!
I said what I wanted to say - now dear Flash AS3 experts and mastahakas please - give me some advice what to do in this situation.
I am really, really confused as I want to write clean, error-free code and I get run out of ideas how to deal with this nasty issue.
Rgs,
Ziggi

Yeap,
I found the solution:
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initLoading);
function initLoading(e:Event){
    newContent = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
    newContent.stop();
So, stopping the loaded movie in this handler do the job...
Stupid anyway!

The most stupid java.SQL.Error ever....can You handle this?

hello there...:) this is veeery strange error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]ResultSet can not re-read row data for column 5.
and what next?
(in DB this column type is "text" and Java can not read it and convert to "String".
I've tried:
String zzz = (String) ResultSet.getObject("columnName");
and even
convert(varchar(2000),columnName) columnName)
in SQL and still having the same error)
does someone know what to do next?
I'll recieve any suggestions with big pleasure :)

This is one of the gotchas with JDBC. From the JavaDoc for ResultSet: "For maximum portability, result set columns within each row should be read in left-to-right order, and each column should be read only once."
With some drivers you can read the columns out of sequence and multiple times, others you can't.
The first time you hit this problem it drives you insane (I know it did me).

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!

I'd like to know what would be the most compatible Virus protection software that would go with Mozilla Firefox?

I was recently given "as a gift" a new lap top, at least I was told it was new it's a HP 2000 LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) PC! IT HAS 4 GB RAM, I don't know if you need more info then that right now but I would gladly get it for you if needed.
I recently had a computer crash, I had back up on my most important info, but not ALL info that was filed.
What had happen is somewhat my neglect, the other problem was the "tech" was asking me the most unusual questions, one was I had to find or remember my very first password I started Microsoft with, that was over 5 years ago on my older lap Top. I do have passwords written down for everything that needs one BUT; I didn't have my original password. (I haven't for almost 2 years), I change them just for safety reasons about every 90 days or so. Well As I was trying to use what passwords I had, the "Tech" ("questionable") I did this for approximately 30 minutes before I got fed up and disconnected the connection, which unfortunately, when I tried starting back up I had a blue screen with white writing, that from a past experience meant my computer crashed HOWEVER it did not give me that notice when you crash just said restart your computer. So I did, but after the desktop started showing up with my icons, many of them were missing.
So I thought This be a good time to use software my friend sent called "Roll back" similar to system restore, but with the ability to find and restore files you may have lost. Well I did recover some, however I lost many files, I am totally unable to watch any DVD MOVIES ON ANY type of player right now. My main Question is "What is the best possible Virus scan/ firewall compatible with my version of Firefox 30"???
And could it help me in the future if God Forbid something similar were to haunt me in the future?? I couldn't afford anything over $80 . Thank You BuddyD54

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

BT- Probably the most useless company in the world...

After 2 or 3 years of hell with this company and nobody willing to help I thought I would write here so anybody else thinking of joining BT will make the correct decision and stay as far away as possible.
Firstly after moving house 3 times and being told we would not need an engineer visit when moving and would not be charged they still decided to take the cost of an engineer visit out of our bank account(about £130) all 3 times 2 of which took us overdrawn in our bank account incurring £25 costs and damaging our credit rating. Did anybody at BT care, NO! Managed to get our money back but obviously not the charges incurred from our bank or the damage to our credit score.
We have now moved house again and been without Internet for 2 months. They claim they cannot re connect the line as someone else owns it. This is probably the most stupid thing I have ever heard the person who used to live here isn't exactly going to magic back into the house and start using it again. We could have another line connected at our own cost. Obviously they have still been charging us for a service we have not had which again we had to call and get refunds for. Does anybody at care, NO!
So we still have no Internet. We finally managed to get them to see some sense after some very long and tedious phone calls they eventually assured us all our services would be active by the 30th of July. As I sit here today not to my surprise we still have no Internet and no phone line. After another long phone call they tell us we will have Internet by the 7th of august although were not holding out any hopes.
After reading online it seems many people have the same issues. BT are obviously not capable of looking after any of its customers, even long standing customers such as ourselves. Even when we decided enough was enough and wanted to cancel our service all together we could not do that unless we paid them £230 or something similar.
We will of course be leaving BT at the earliest opportunity when we are not tied to the stupid contracts we have had to start again each time we move house. Had it Up to the eyeballs with the poor service and them robbing money from our bank account. I would advise anybody else to stay as far away from BT as possible.
Shame on you BT.

A new iPod will connect to your computer and load whatever you have in iTunes. If the PC has been authorised to play purchased songs you don't need to do it again, it's the computer that requires authorisation not the iPod.

Using the Assets panel [was: The most basic stupid question on here]

I am very new to web design, self taught on sites like GoDaddy and Microsoft Office Live, but there's no access to root directory and adding affiliate banners won't work. So here I am. Problem #1 so far is how do I get stuff into my assets. I've messed around for a while w/ no success. It can't be that hard. Someone out there please give this "newbie" the instructions for getting text, images and stuff from my computer into the assets box on Dreamweaver. I'll have nightmares about "dreamweaver" till I get this figured out. Thanks a million in advance for answering such a basic (almost stupid) question

There are no stupid questions around here, but a more descriptive subject heading would be appreciated in the future. "Assets Question"

I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.
