Three Keynote '08 questions

1. Why can't the flame effect be played on my Macbook?
2. How can the background music be temporarily stopped while a video file is playing?
3. Is there any way to play a DRMed video file in Keynote?
Thanks
-Keeperofall

1. The video card is not sufficiently powerful.
2. It can't -- there is no way to get music to play through a presentation but to be paused for a section of it. One workaround is to create separate presentation for the part prior to the video, the video itself, and the part after the video, and hyperlink these three presentations together as one (putting the music only in the first and last sections).
3. I don't believe there is, even if you own the video.

Three pretty basic questions--27" iMac, Snow Leopard

New 27" iMac. Three (ridiculously basic) questions:
1) How do I take my old 24" iMac wireless keyboard and pair it with my new computer? I really despise this little keyboard that came with the current computer.
2) I default to Preview and Text Edit when I want to use Adobe Acrobat and Word. How do I change this?
3) When I sync my iPhone it does not download the iPhone photos to iPhoto. I see the device in iPhoto. How do I download my photos into iPhoto so I have them resident on my computer and can open and manipulate in Photoshop?
THANKS THANKS THANKS

*Start your 24" iMac, click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar at the top (it shows the clock, wifi, audio level, etc), then select the Keyboard and then disconnect.*
*Also from that bluetooth menu, goto 'Open Bluetooth Preferences' and you should see the keyboard there as well. There is a little 'minus' sign in the lower left of that window. Select the Keyboard and press the minus sign and it should remove the Keyboard from that iMac.*
*On your new iMac, make it discoverable (the device and the new Mac), and you should be able to pair it from there.*
2) I default to Preview and Text Edit when I want to use Adobe Acrobat and Word. How do I change this?
*Answered in previous posts.*
3) When I sync my iPhone it does not download the iPhone photos to iPhoto. I see the device in iPhoto. How do I download my photos into iPhoto so I have them resident on my computer and can open and manipulate in Photoshop?
*Shot in the dark. So open up iTunes with your iPhone connected/plugged into your Mac.*
*on the left side of iTunes where you see your iPhone, click on the iPhone icon. And on the window next to left bar you should see a row of tabs at the top and at the far right you should see a tab for Photos.*
*Click on that tab and select Sync photos.*
*That should allow you to sync your photos from your iphone to your iphoto library*
hope that helps

Three tier architecture questions

Hello,
My question is in regards to using Toplink in a three tier architecture situation. If I wish to send an object A which has a collection of Bs and B has a collection of C ( A nested object structure with two or more levels of indirection). Is the best solution to have the named query be part of a unit of work so that even if on the client side somebody unknowingly were to make the modification to one of the entity objects ( a POJO) the shared session cache would not be affected ?
This is assuming the client side HTTP layer and the RMI/EJB layer are on different JVMs.
Some of the other suggestions I have heard is to retrieve it from the shared session cache directly and if in case I need to modify one or more of the objects do a named query lookup on that object alone and then proceed to register that object in a unit of work and then commit the changes.
Also the indirection would have to be utilised before the data objects are sent to the Servlet layer I presume ?(That is if I do a a.getAllOfBObjects() on the servlet side I would get a nullpointer exception unless all of B were already instatiated on the server side). Also when the objects are sent back to the server do I do a registerObject on all the ones that have changed and then do a deepMergeClone() before the uow.commit() ?
Thanks,
Aswin.

Aswin,
If your client is remote to the EJB tier then all persistent entities are detached through serialization. In this architecture you do not need to worry about reading and modifying the shared instance as it never the one being changed on the client (due to serialization).
Yes, you do need to ensure that all required indirect relationships are instantiated on the server prior to returning them from the EJB call.
Yes, you do need to merge the changes of the detached instance when returned to the server. I would also recommend first doing a read for the entity being merged (by primary key) on the new UnitOfWork prior to the merge. This will handle the case where you are merging into a different node of the cluster then where you read as well as allowing you to check for the case where the entity no longer exists in the database (if the read returns null then the merge will result in an INSERT and this may not be desired).
Here is an example test case that does this:
    public void test() throws Exception {
        Employee detachedEmp = getDeatchedEmployee("Jill", "May");
        assertNotNull(detachedEmp);
        // Remove the first phone number
        PhoneNumber phone = detachedEmp.getPhoneNumber("Work");
        assertNotNull("Employee does not have a Work Phone Number",
                      detachedEmp.getPhoneNumber("Work"));
        detachedEmp.removePhoneNumber(phone);
        UnitOfWork uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
        Employee empWC = (Employee) uow.readObject(detachedEmp);
        if (empWC == null) { // Deleted
            throw new RuntimeException("Could not update deleted employee: " + detachedEmp);
        uow.deepMergeClone(detachedEmp);
        uow.commit();
     * Return a detached Employee found by provided first name and last name.
     * Its phone number relationship is instantiated.
    public Employee getDeatchedEmployee(String firstName, String lastName) {
        ReadObjectQuery roq = new ReadObjectQuery(Employee.class);
        ExpressionBuilder builder = roq.getExpressionBuilder();
        roq.setSelectionCriteria((builder.get("firstName").equal(firstName)).and(builder.get("lastName").equal(lastName)));
        Employee employee = (Employee)session.executeQuery(roq);
        employee.getPhoneNumbers().size();
        return (Employee)SerializationHelper.serialize(employee);
    }One other note: In these types of application optimistic locking is very important. You should also make sure that the locking field(s) are mapped into the object and not stored only in the TopLink cache. This will ensure the locking semantics are maintained across the detachment to the client and the merge back.

Three semi-basic questions

So I have started creating my first Flex application after
years of working in Flash on a daily basis and I have a few simple
questions. Below is my code for my initial layout which consists of
a 4x2 grid of squares(8 squares), when you click on any of them
they grow to the full size of the window, thats it. My three
question are->
1. Do I have to create a State for each square to transition
from it's small size to its larger size. Currently I have a State
named "grow", which only transforms square1. Can you point to these
states dynamically? I understand how the targets work, but if I put
"target="{square1, square2}" it will target both panels. I can't
imagine I'll have to create "grow1", "grow2", etc states.
<mx:State name="grow">
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="x"
value="0"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="y"
value="10"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="width"
value="960"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="height"
value="500"/>
</mx:State>
2. I found this bit of code in the developer pdf
"click="currentState=currentState=='grow' ? '':'grow';" and it
works great at returning the square to its original position after
you have clicked it, I would just like to know what it's doing.
3. Lastly, how do you swap depths or arrange items in Flex.
In flash if I wanted an item to be ontop of another I would simply
use swapDepths or set the depth to getNextHighestDepth. I'm having
a hard time finding those methods in Flex.
Thanks you in advance. Below is part of the code with the
transitions and panels.
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="grow">
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="x"
value="0"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="y"
value="10"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="width"
value="960"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{square1}" name="height"
value="500"/>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
<mx:transitions>
<mx:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<mx:Parallel id="t1" targets="{[square1]}">
<mx:Move duration="1000"/>
<mx:Resize duration="1000"/>
</mx:Parallel>
</mx:Transition>
</mx:transitions>

title="square8">
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Panel>

1. I haven't used states much so I don't know the answer to
this one. Personally I'd probably have used a resize effect and a
click listener that changes the size. If you did that I know you
could re-use the resize effect and click listener for each panel.
2. "click="currentState=currentState=='grow' ? '':'grow';"
The syntax is a shorthand notation for an if...else...
statement; it's kind of like a conditional assignment. So "x = a ?
b : c" means, evaluate 'a' ('a' is a condition). If 'a' is true
then "x = b", otherwise "x = c". So in your example it looks to see
if the currentState is 'grow', if it is it changes to the default
state, otherwise it changes to the 'grow' state.
3. I'm not sure about this one, but I believe depths on
canvases are dictated by the ordering of its children. By that I
mean, the first child is the deepest and the last child is
shallowest (or perhaps other way round). But I could be totally
wrong...

Unlimited Nights and Weekends and three-way calling questions

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer searching the boards.
With Unlimited Nights and Weekends, if you initiate a call at 8:50pm on a weekday that lasts an hour, will you be charged minutes for the entire call (60 minutes) or only the first 11 minutes? On a related note, what if you make a three-way call at 8:50pm on a weekday? Are you charged the same number of minutes as a call to a single number? What about after 9:01pm? In other words, is there no difference between a call to a single number vs. a call to two numbers? BTW, all of these scenarios are for calls inside the United States.
Thank you!

Thank you!
To answer the first part, you would be charged for the first 11 minutes because the Verizon network recognizes when the call rolls into a free minute period. As far as 3 way calling is concerned, you are actively calling 2 numbers so the minutes to both numbers count againist your minute plan and then would transition to free minutes after 9pm. Hope this answers your questions.

Keynote - font question

Apologies, I'm using Keynote for the first time, can anyone advise...
If I prepare a keynote doc, save it as Powerpoint for my client and pass it along, will the fonts be ok that I have used, I mean will they show up ok if the presentation is shown on any other computer (like a PDF?)
hope to hear from you

Simple question - does iWork (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) have the font "Times New Roman"?
TNR is automatically part of OS X 10.6 and is available for all apps.

How to keynote presentation question

I will build a keynote presentation for a presentation at univeristy. My MBP will be connected to a external screen for the public. Now I am wondering if there is a way so that I can have also my personal notes to look at on my MBP, but they will not show on the public screen?
Many thanks!

Keynote > Preferences > Presenter Display > select: use alternate display

2 Keynote chart questions

I'm trying to build a series of 14 different data charts in Keynote. I'm having problems creating two...
Chart 1 (Line-format): This is for "Average Time" spent on a helpdesk call. For the Y-axis, I can't figure out a way to input data in a Minute:Second format (the X-axis is the months of the year).
For example:
Jan - 5:32
Feb - 6:38
Mar - 2:43, etc.
Chart 2 (Column-format): Ideally, I'd like to compare two different data types on a single chart. This for "Server Availability"... the X-axis are the months, with the left-side Y-axis being % of availability, and the right-side Y-axis featuring number of hours unavailable.
For example:
Jan: 99.77% availability/1.68 hours unavailable
Feb: 99.62% availability/2.77 hours unavailable
Mar: 99.70% availability/2.19 hours unavailable, etc.
Thoughts?, Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions, Unisphere.
Keynote's charting abilities are relatively rudimentary, and I don't believe it can handle either of the two chart types you want. Your best bet is to do up the charts in another application and paste them in. A post on another thread mentioned the freeware application Plot, which will definitely do two Y-axes plots, and may be able to handle time-based plots as well -- this might be a simple solution.

Iweb and keynote tricky question!

Is there a way to make a presentation in keynote with hyperlinks and transitions and publish that in iweb?i would be very thankful if somebody can describe the procedure...if there is one of course

There's a few things to remember, but I can only think of one right now.
It would be good if QuickTime offered a "Loading" screen by default or allowed you to create one without tools like LiveStage Pro, because interactive presentations with links back and forth have to load completely and, until they do, the first slide will play over and over.
The one thing to remember is that you ALWAYS want to LINK using NON-transitional slides if you're going to a slide that isn't the next one. ie, going from slide 2 - 3, fine, no problem, link however you want with whatever transition you want. Going from slide 2-5, as long as you make sure slide 5 doesn't START with a transition (from slide 4), you're good.

Keynote/Powerpoint question

How can I save a powerpoint presentation on my mac to be viewed on whiteboard?

Simplest way would be to run the PowerPoint file directly on the computer at the school if it is a Windows machine and the computer has PowerPoint or PPt Viewer installed.
If it is a Mac computer, use the original Keynote file if Keynote is installed.
Use a PDF file exported from Keynote as a second method of playback.
Trying to import Powerpoint into a computer with an unkown interactive host programme will end in disaster as not all host programmes can import Powerpoint. Those that can import PowerPoint are very specific about the version of PowerPoint used.

Newbie to keynote; some questions and some observations about this group

Hello, my attn was called to this group. I have seen some impressive presentations in keynote so maybe it is time to switch.
From what?
I do a lot of presentations. I use acrobat. Prepare my page in whatever app is best for the job; print to pdf; include fonts. By using the app of my choice I get just what I want in my slide.
I can readily arrange slides in sorter in acrobat. Allows minimal animation, by, say, preparing the full slide, make copies, and delete progressively. sort to show from the least to the fullest; works for me.
pdf allows touch up text and adding text, which I often think of at the last minute. Drawing an oval or line to point to something. For heavier editing open a slide in illustrator and save as pdf.
So, as I say it works for me. Not glitzy. Certainly pretty easy to produce decent slides.
Most everyone has acrobat on his/her machine, so if I take my presentation on a stick, it can work, nicely, cross platform. Very few occasions when that didnt work.
So I would like to hear folks' experiences. Can you take your presentation on a stick and show it on someone else's computer?
What about posting presentations. I generally put my pdf on my web page, giving the audience the url; seeems to work fine. Again I ask for experience.
Seems like quite a learning curve for keynote. And I browsed about 4 pages of discussion on this board before posting. I saw mostly complaints and problems, and not all that many solutions. And very few raves.
So, I would welcome some testimonials.
PS I dont want to do anything so glitzy that folks will come up to me after the talk and say nice animations; better they talk to me about the substance of my talk.
thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums, troglodyte.
If you want a testimonial, I think that Keynote is hands-down the easiest to use presentation tool, and produces by far the best-looking results. It is far ahead of PowerPoint.
Keynote produced beautiful results, even when converted to PDF, as it has very nice graphics features (e.g., drop shadows, masking, transparency). If you are most comfortable with PDF, and don't need animations or transitions, then Keynote still has a lot to offer. That said, much of the "wow-factor" of Keynote comes from its lovely and sophisticated transitions and animations.
(These features needn't be just eye-candy, either, as they can serve to emphasize points and help unify certain material. For example, I use transitions that are more obvious, such as the "Doorway", to mark major changes of topic in my presentations, and more subtle ones, like "Dissolve", to change between related slides. This "grammar" of transitions helps to make the presentation more comprehensible.)
Keynote is not cross-platform, so you can't put a native Keynote presentation on a memory stick and be assured that it will work on someone else's computer. However, PDFs make from Keynote should function just fine. Alternatively, you can use various of the other exporting options in Kenote, including Quicktime, Flash, and PowerPoint, to provide more cross-platform compatibility than Keynote does (each of these conversions has its own limitations however). And several of these formats are also appropriate for web deployment.
I find Keynote extremely easy to use. Do realize that these forums are primarily intended for troubleshooting, so you won't find a lot of generic compliments to the application.

Three ridiculously OT questions

Shoo me away if you must. But if anyone's willing...

Three Getting Started Questions with RV180

I recently purchased the RV180 router. I have a few quick "getting started" questions about using it:
1. Is the "Static DHCP" the screen I need to use in order to reserve DHCP addresses (see attached)? That's where I've been reserving all my DHCP addresses with. I'm just making sure I have the correct screen.
2. Do I need to do anything to "backup" my configuration, or will my settings still be around when the RV180 reboots?
3. Do I need to run a check for firmware update on the RV180, and how do I update the firmware on the RV180 (as well as the SG200-18), or does it usually come with the latest firmware out-of-the-box? If I go ahead and put a service contract on the RV180 and SG200-18, will I receive my firmware updates automatically? Are the part numbers for the service contracts the same for the RV180 and SG200-18?
Thanks!

Hello,
1. Is the "Static DHCP" the screen I need to use in order to reserve DHCP addresses (see attached)? That's where I've been reserving all my DHCP addresses with. I'm just making sure I have the correct screen.
Yes, that is the correct location to set DHCP reservations.
2. Do I need to do anything to "backup" my configuration, or will my settings still be around when the RV180 reboots?
Whenever you hit save after making a change you configuration is saved and will survive a reboot.
If you would like to save backup copy of your configration file just go to Administration >> Backup/Restore settings.
3. Do I need to run a check for firmware update on the RV180, and how do I update the firmware on the RV180 (as well as the SG200-18), or does it usually come with the latest firmware out-of-the-box? If I go ahead and put a service contract on the RV180 and SG200-18, will I receive my firmware updates automatically? Are the part numbers for the service contracts the same for the RV180 and SG200-18?
You will need to manually update the firmware on the RV180. That firmware is available here:
RV180 Firmware
It is simply one file, that you upload under Administration >> Firmware Upgrade. There is no bootcode for the routers (like there was with your switch)
You can locate this in the future the same way you did the SG200 firmware (because this link may change) on the Cisco website.
As for the service contract, the part number for both of those devices will be CON-SBS-SVC2.
Hope that helps, and I will try to get to your other questions sometime today as well. Also since you just bought there you are of course welcome to call in and get some support over the phone, both your devices do come with 1 year of technical support, and it sounds like you are getting or have contracts, so I guess make that 3 years.

Keynote Audio Question

Hey guys - my first post on here...
I'm making a keynote pres. and was wondering if it is possible to have multiple songs play throughout... Right now, I can't seem to find any way to have more than one song play or loop throughout the presentation...
Any Ideas?
Thanks

There is a simple workaround. I have done this at numerous places within the slide show with from 6-25 slides. You simply compose the slides and then paste each one with all of its objects on top of the first slide which has the sound file that you want played for all of the slides. Timing will have to be adjusted to suit. I found the easiest way to do this is to create a new Keynote file which I call a build file it contains all of the individual slides and a master slide. After I have set all the objects to build properly on the individual slides I then paste them into the master slide which has the initial transition and the sound file as well as a top level text file which identifies the sound file being played. I paste each additional slide, on the master slide, as a new set of object layers play and adjust timing as required. When I am satisfied I take the finished master slide and paste it into the master Keynote presentation. My most complex one to date has over 200 objects in the build order and takes about 3 minutes to play.

Keynote '06 questions

Is there a way to add a timeline chart to a slide? Also, is there a way to loop build in/build out effects on a slide?

This version doesn't have the recording function --- http://grab.by/3QBb
Thus I cannot do that work around ... anyone got any assistance on offer ?
Should I just give up and save it as a presentation not try to export to Quicktime (make into a movie)
