Things I should do to get started...
Im more of a PC Guy so I was just wondering what I should to to get started with my new iMac, like, what software should I get to keep it runnin smooth and fast? I pretty much wanna know what I need to make my Mac experience as enjoyable and safe as possible... thanks!
First thing i would do is order some more memory. At least another 512megs. I have 1gig and my iMac runs great. You really appreciate more memory when using apps like MSOffice and Photoshop that aren't intel native. Make sure you have downloaded and install all the latest Apple Software updates. To do that just click on the blue Apple on the menu and select Software Update. To be sure you are surfing safely make sure your software firewall is turned on. Go to System Preferences-Sharing-Firewall and click the Start under firewall. Also if you are using a wireless router make sure you have WPA encryption turned on and select a good password.
Congrats on your new Mac!

MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do? it lets me reinstall sometimes Sometimes.... it is weird.
orshikhfromsc,
boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro (by holding down the C key as it starts up). When the desktop appears, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase your internal disk. After it’s been erased, reformat it. After it’s been reformatted, exit Disk Utility and reïnstall the version of Mac OS X from that DVD onto your internal disk. After that version of Mac OS X has been reïnstalled, boot from your internal disk and run Software Update to get it up-to-date within that version; that should allow you to redownload and reïnstall Mavericks, if desired. If Mavericks is reïnstalled, run Software Update again to get it up to date.
If you no longer have the two grey installation DVDs, you can purchase a replacement set from either Apple or iFixit. -
I hit the "update all" button in the app store and things seemed to get started but never completed. Now all these apps have a "waiting" msg under them. How do I fix this? Thx-Kurt.
turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

Hello there, toestothenose.
It seems that you may not have gotten the entire message into your thread here, but the following Knowledge Base article offers a good resource on which messages from Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions can be safely ignored:

i just want to know the changes that i should do so that whenever i click on the 'getting started' icon, the page should appear in english language and not in hindi language.
I did some further research on this specific piece of malware. There is an article here that has some more information about what it is :
http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/8429-goingonearth-com-stay-away
and it looks like this person has gotten it off of their computer by following the steps here: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/290253-google-redirectgoingonearthcom-malware/
All-in-all, this is a pretty sophisticated piece of malware, and if neither of those links help, I'd suggest going to a forum site that is dedicated to fixing computer problems/infections and asking for some more targeted help there. It's something that is beyond my level of expertise to remove. -

How do I stop Firefox from opening the Getting Started page - tried many things already!
Each time I start Firefox it does two things:
1 - It checks plugin compatibility.
2 - It opens the Getting Started Page.
I have just installed the latest 8.0.1. version.
I run on Windows7 Ultimate.
Have not used Firefox for a year due to this with previous version doing the same.
Have tried all support recommendations: closing tabs, saving etc.
Surprised to see no one else with these issues and no support?
Thanks

I have logged in on my loggin but nothing shows how to go further so I can start use the Indesign.
how should I do to get started?Not sure if your are looking for this...If you have bought the subscription and Indesign is already installed on your system , Simply launch ID and provide your subscription adobe ID when you are asked to sign in. If you are seeing Trial expiry screen, click on License software and provide the subscription ID there. After this your product will be suscribed and you are ready to use it.

Cannot connect to GET STARTED page
Hello,
First off, I am sorry, I did a search and saw numerous posts on this issue, but about all of them either ended their replies after a user asked "Did you do this or that ?" or they just stopped posting... at most I saw some topics where it magically worked later on, but no real step-by-step instructions.
So, the problem: I installed XE 11g, no apparent problems during install (no warnings so I assume everything is OK), tried the GET STARTED link, but it said it can't connect.

AUD: OS Error = 1717 encountered while writing audit recordFrom what I could gather from other posts here (and on other sites) the problem is I don't have anything listening on 8080. Other than that, all seems OK (I think).
So, can anyone tell me\help me on why that one isn't starting ? I reinstalled this 6 times and still can't figure out the problem... (as you saw, I even replaced the tns hostname with 127.0.0.1 out of paranoia). It's seriously driving me mad. Every topic I searched for (from the problem itself to even a step-by-step for dummies) shows an install, then the interface working... I see some questions regarding "I can't connect to..." but most are unanswered :(
Thanks in advance!

jgarry: I believe what you explained may be related to the fact some reported the DB doesn't work properly when the event log is full (I just emptied mine so it doesn't apply). Normally I disable it but without it started, the DB is not working properly (not that I can get it started anyway).
There was a post on a site I found hinting at 3 things:
1. ORACLE_HOME must be defined as an env-var
2. ORACLE_SID must be defined as an env-var
3. there might be a problem with spfile
Regarding those:
1. shouldn't the setup declare it automatically ? I don't have it declared, but I added it (no change)As Orafad pointed out, Windows is different. It does have a search hierarchy it follows to figure out what the environment should be. So first, unset what you set and go into a cmd window and:
sqlplus sys as sysdba
Edit: Oops, I meant
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
2. same as above, except I am not sure what SID to add so I didn't declare it ... The only 2 I have are PLSExtProc and CLRExtProc in tnsnames by default. I tried with each but the only thing that changes is instead of getting the shared memory realm error I get a TNS adapter error... trading one error for another is not funFor XE, the ORACLE_SID is XE (unless you do screwy things to change it). So now that I see you had some other db installed before, I suspect an environment collision. Delve into your registry and see what oracle definitions you have - this is a lot of work, things are spread around some, but searching for oracle is usually a good start. I'm not up on the 11.2 details (or others, really, I just have vague memories of seeing MOS notes that purported to explain clean up entirely, without truly doing so, and I avoid Windows as much as possible). I would uninstall XE, uninstall the other one, then search the registry for any leftover stuff, then install XE and see if it all magically works. But that is a fairly brain-dead way to deal with it.
So that said, you can set up a little batch file to set your environment in a cmd window (specifically ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID), and go into sqlplus / as sysdba and give the startup command. If you get the memory realm error, you have one of those wrong, if you get the tnsnames errors you can fix those following the advice in Ed Steven's blog. You can run tnsping to see which tnsnames.ora you are using, if you use one (which is determined by an @ sign in your connection string, which you should not need to connect locally, but if you do, you need to have XE defined in the tnsnames.ora, and may need to set TNS_ADMIN to get the right one).
Your tnsnames.ora should have an entry like this:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Yourcomputer.yourdomian.whatever)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)You might want to search for any tnsname.ora on your computer, the default correct one would be: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
3. I don't have that file in the folder but I suspect it might be created on a first successful launch of the DBWithout an spfile you need to use a pfile, then create a pfile from spfile. But there should be one at C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEXE.ORA (if you used default installation).
>
Other than that I didn't find anything helpful in logs (or don't know where else to look), nor on sites.
I did have WAMP installed at a point (uninstalled it) but if it were to conflict I guess SETUP would tell me (since the XE license doesn't let you use 2 DBs at the same time)Is that some mysql thing? That shouldn't interfere. It's only installing multiple Oracle products related some what to the Oracle database that can be a problem, and normally isn't with the more recent stuff.
I swear to god this is killing my neurons :(When you find the solution, you will slap your forehead.

Got a Problem? How to Get Started
Getting started on fixing your problem:
Working with video editing on an NLE (Non Linear Editor) program can tax the most robust computers. Depending on many factors, this can be a daunting task, at best. Many of the components of one’s computer can be stressed, more than with almost any other operation, that it will ever perform.
Getting help on the forum can seem almost as daunting, as the first thing that a poster is likely to encounter is a list of questions, before any answers. This is the natural flow, because people are trying to help remotely. They cannot come to your office and sit behind you to determine your computer system’s capabilities, and observe just what you are doing, when and how you are doing it. Do not be put off by these questions, as they are very necessary and will very likely give the respondents some clues on where to look for your problem.
Problems can normally be broken down into these categories:
1.) System
2.) Assets (the Audio, Video and still images)
3.) Project (how it is setup and with which Preset)
4.) Workflow (what you are doing, and how you are doing it)
If you prepare a checklist, before you post your problem, it will save everyone a great deal of time, and will likely yield your answer much more quickly. The more detail that you furnish, the fewer questions will remain, that have to be asked. Remember, you have to be the "eyes" for the others on the forum, if they are expected to help you. They could be thousands of mile away, in other time zones, and will not know about your system, your Assets, your Project or your workflow, until you tell them. Help them get started quickly, by telling them in your first post. Do your "homework," so they do not have to ask questions for the first five responses, and can start giving you answers much more quickly.
System:
Be very specific about your computer. Just saying that "I have a Dell" doesn’t tell them much of anything. List your CPU type and speed, i.e. Core2 Quad Q6700 2.3GHz. Same for your RAM, i.e. 4GB of DDS. Also, list your Video Card, type, connection and driver number and date. Same for your Audio System. Note: most of this data can be found in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager. Pointing people to a URL on your computer company’s Web site isn’t a bad idea, but giving the exact details of your system is far, far better. It is likely that that Web site will have the general configuration, and who knows if that is exactly what you bought. List it for them, so they do not have to go and guess, and write down the specs. of your system.
One of the most important aspects of your system will be the I/O sub-system. What is that, you might ask? Well, it’s your HDD’s (Hard Disk Drives). The important info is how many physical HDD’s do you have. List their size, their speed, their connection, the amount of free, defragmented space and how they are allocated. This would look something like this: "3x 200GB SATA II. Drive C:\ OS, programs and Windows Virtual Memory with 185GB free, D:\ media with 120GB free, E:\ Project files, output and Scratch Disks with 150GB free." If you have any drive partitioned (not a good thing nowadays), let everyone know and give details. If you have a RAID, give full details on how it is managed, the type and how it is used in your system. [As an aside, most RAID’s should not really be considered for a system drive, unless one has built in redundancy in the RAID, i.e. 3, or more, physical disks. Remember, this info can be critical. If you have CD/DVD burners, list them and their connections. If you have external HDD’s, list them with the same details as for your internal HDD’s.
Next, tell about your Windows Virtual Memory (Page File). How large is it, where is it located on your system and how is it managed, i.e. dynamically by Windows, or static? Again, this can be critical. For info, you will need to go to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Performance and look. In the Settings>Advanced, you should see things like Process Scheduling, Memory Usage and Virtual Memory. This is where you will find the answers. Note: depending on which OS one has, the exact location and syntax may differ.
While we’re on the OS, list the exact OS that you have, i.e. Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP-2 with all updates and hot-fixes.
What version of the NLE are you using and has it been updated, i.e. PE3.0.2.
Finally, list any other programs, that might be in use, while you are editing, such as MSN Messaging, etc. These can be critical, even though you are basically editing video.
Assets:
Give full details on your Assets. Just saying "a bunch of .AVI’s" tells people nothing. Be very specific with the details. See this ARTICLE on what info to give, and how to obtain it. Same for your Audio and for your still images. Size in pixels, file type, etc., are very important for the stills, and file type. Sample-rate and sample size are important for the Audio.
Project:
How is your Project setup? Which Preset did you use? What is the Duration of your Timeline. This gives someone the "lay of the land," so to speak and is very important. Note: your Project Preset should match your Video Assets. You can always Export/Share to some other frame size, or format, but your Project should match your Video Assets.
Workflow:
How have you arranged your Assets on the Timeline allows someone to "see" your Project in their mind. Information such as one 00;10;00;00 AVI (remember, you will have furnished complete details on those AVI’s, or MPEG’s when you listed your Assets above) on Video Track 1 (VT1) with its Audio on Audio Track 1 (AT1). One AVI used as a PiP (Picture in Picture) on VT2 with its Audio on AT2. One MP3 soundtrack for the full Duration on Soundtrack and my Narration on the Narration Track. List any Transitions, or Effects used. If you have Titles, list them. If you have any Keyframing used, list where and what they control.
List exactly what you are doing and to which Asset you are doing it, when your problem occurs. If you are doing something like Export/Share, list the full settings (Presets) used, and be sure to mention any other tasks being performed by your computer, while you are doing the Export/Share.
If you have already done some trouble shooting, list what you have done and the complete results. Were there any error messages? If so, give the full description. To say, "I had error messages," tells people nothing. What exactly did they say?
This information will help people get right to your problem and will get you up and running much more quickly.
As an aside, think about the title of your post. Saying "Problem" is not good enough. Instead, something like "PE7 Fails on Share to MPEG-2" would be better. First, you are trying to let everyone know something about your Problem, so they will see it, and be interested in helping you. If you are having an Audio issue, mention "Audio" in the title, so the right people will find your post. Not everyone knows everything about all aspects of Video. You want the right people to see your post and to be working with you, to fix your problem. Also, later on, it is good to have a title that will be easily found by others, who may have the same exact problem. If you get an answer that works, please post back that success, so others, finding your post, will know what worked, and what did not. Note: do not put your entire post into the title. That is just tough to read and understand. Use a few words, but make them the right words.

Java Applet HelloWorld "Getting Started With Applets" example not working
Hi there,
It's been ages since I ran my Linux CentOS boot of Linux but I am going through the official oracle java applet tutorials, just every time I try and run the "Hello World" applet in Firefox 17.0.3 and I am running the Iced Tea thing for java applets.
Every time I try and run the example from the following code:
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class HelloWorld extends JApplet
// called when the user enters the html page:
public void init() // keep apps within the init() function very small as per the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html
try{
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
public void run()
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
add(myLabel);
} // end running the application
}); //end of swing invokeand wait
} catch (Exception error){ // end user running the app in page
// System.err.println("GUI didn't work on initial run");
}It keeps bringing up the error "Start: Applet not initialized" I did google that basic error and from what I found I should consult the JavaConsole, I know the console was removed from the Firefox menu quite a while ago. So went to find a way of loading it using the IcedTea one but it keeps bringing up a load of errors in even trying to run that.
Is there anyway of sorting this out? I mean I have even tried installing the one on the oracle website, the plain JDK but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone that can help me get applets working? I was even going to go as far as to reinstall my distro but I want to avoid that as much as possible.
Thanks and I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.in the Getting Started with Java DB tutorial they
tell u how to set ur "DERBY_HOME" (what is that?).
once i press enter after typing this command:
set DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java
Phonebook\javadb in my command prompt do i get
any message or does it just go to the next line?type env or set or whatever in the command line to see what your environment variables are set to
they also tell u how to set ur "JAVA_HOME" (what is
that?). The Java installation you want to use
in their example they give u this: set
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05but in my java folder i have jdk1.6.0 and jre1.6.0
but no j2se1.4.2_05, so which 1 must i choose?It's up to you. I'd go with 1.6
also once ive done this: set
DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java Phonebook\javadb this
set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0 and this set
PATH=%DERBY_HOME%\bin;%PATH% and then type
sysinfo to verify that the variables were set
correctly i get these errors: 'D:\Java\Java' is
not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file and '""'
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file any help would
really be appreciated because this is really killing
me!you need to set your path variable - so something like:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05\bin -
Error, in Getting started with Labview. Chapter 3, part 4.
Hi.
Still struggling on, trying to find the time to work through the "Getting Started with LabVIEW" document.
Only 19 days left to go, and I'm still only in chapter 3!...
Right. In the "Saving Data When Prompted by a User" exersise, part 4...
4. Right-click the Signals input of the Write To Measurement File
Express VI and select Insert Input/Output from the shortcut menu to
insert the Comment input.
Problem is, that option is greyed out, so not available!...
I did what the instructions said, I right clicked on the "Signals" input, and it doesnt do what it says on the tin!
Any pointers? Please don't mention search the help, I've crashed the entire LV environment 3 times now, trying to search for something in there. It's OK if it finds someting, but it seems to bomb at times, when there is some ambiguity when searching.
Also, I won't be able to do anyting with any replies for a day or two, as I have to go up country to a customer, and mess about with hot oil, high volts, and lots of RF. It never ends. (I've still got the day job to do, while trying to fight my way through this "evaluation". 30 days of "Use" would be better, than 30 calendar days for some of us.)

OK... Who let the smoke out?Hi Dennis, and everyone else..
That is not how it looks when first dropped on the BD. On my machine, it is partialy expanded by default, after you clear the Configure dialog that pops up ocupying most of the screen.
Again, if it makes a difference to the way the Right Click shortcut menu works, it should be documented in the Getting Started document, especialy as it seems to be a critical point.
OK, explain this...
I've just rubbed out the save to file VI, cleaned up the broken wires etc, and then planted a new one on the BD. Once I cleared the Configure dialog that covers up most of the screen before you see it the first time, the VI was partialy expanded. I forget the exact list, but "Signals" was not at the top.
I did *EXACTLY* the same again, deleted it, cleaned up, and then planted a fresh new one. That DID appear that time with nothing but the "Signals" item showing, and two down caretts below that, indicating more items.
So......
Why the different behaviour each time, on the same BD, in the same session. Some underlying working data not being correctly initialised when invoked? Of course, that never happens, right? ('C' programmes eh?)
Trying some more, it seems the behaviour loosley depends on just how close to the edge of the While loop grey border you place it. Odd. I have a 1280x800 screen to play with, and a 1280x1024 second screen I use for the Getting Started document. That is the absolute maximum I can have, due to hardware limits.
I also find, that if you fully expand the "Write to Measurement File" VI block, then fully collapse it, then expand it again, all the items in that list have changed places! Why?
I had noticed earlier that there is no uniformity in the layout of even the items common to many if not all VI blocks (error in, and error out to name but two) Sometimes one is above the other, sometimes the other way round, sometimes they are not even ajacent to each other. Has that been done as a source of minor ammusement or something?
Talking to another colegue here, who just wandered in to see how I was getting on with this. Seems he also has tried the introductory entry into LV (V8.something) in the past. But he too, found too many things that behaved differently from one time to another, so abandoned it as a lost cause, then decided to learn how to use Visual Basic with NI-GPIB IO instead. Not without issues either he said, but at least it all behaves exactly the same, each and every time.
End of the day now...
Regards.

So here's a weird problem, and I know I've solved it before a few years ago. Basically when our reports parameter form renders the html table columns are all being sized to like 60,000, which is causing the parameter form to render as a huge website
