Trying to get started, help
Just purchased a kindle fire hd with skype installed. I want to video call either a windows desktop/laptop or mac or another android tablet. When I try to set up contacts it asks me to enter a phone number. All the phone numbers are landline or cell phones which cost money. How do I set up to contact someone over the internet with a desktop or wi-fi with a tablet or laptop, what phone number do I use, if any????? I am not interested in 3g or 4g mobile calling and I don't want to pay for the service at this time. Thank You

Error while trying to get F4 help for a field mapped to an info object
Hi,
I am getting the following exception while trying to attach a search help to a drop down list box.The field belongs to a table on the BW server which has an explicit search help attached to it.I am getting the following exception:
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_BSP_SERVICES_SHLP', was neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure "_ONCREATE" "(METHOD)" . Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception to occur, the running program was terminated. The reason for the exception is: The input help is not suitable.
As I am new to BW server I am unable to find the solution.Please help me out.

TejaswiniHi Craig,
I was actually not using the f4 help of the
IF_BSP_SERVICES class. Now I want to implement this as I have got many fields on my page. But I am getting the above mentioned error while doing this. The Code in OnInitialization() is:
data: dataref1 type ref to data.
data:wa_r8t_prog type ZR8T_S_API_PROG_H.
get reference of wa_r8t_prog-ZR8CPRGTY into dataref1.
try.
call method runtime->ddic_utils->get_simple_helpvalues
exporting
data_object_ref = dataref1
changing
helpvalue_tab = t_vallist.
catch cx_bsp_services.
endtry.
But I have a search help attached to 'ZR8T_S_API_PROG_H-ZR8CPRGTY' field
My 'ZR8T_S_API_PROG_H' structure definition is as follows:
.INCLUDE ZR8T_REBATE_PROG 0 0 Rebate Program
ZR8CPRGID /BIC/OIZR8CPRGID CHAR 32 0 Rebate Program ID
COMP_CODE /BI0/OICOMP_CODE CHAR 4 0 Company Code
ZR8CPRGTY /BIC/OIZR8CPRGTY CHAR 5 0 Program type
Can I get f4 help from search help exits or do I have to use only value tables?
Regards

Perhaps someone wouldn't mind helping with some simple questions....
I'd like to get started with Java Server Pages but I am finding the process absolutely bewildering.
At the moment I have a site running Jrun 3.1 and I use J2SE, so I think I will have my work cut out just to get started, though perhaps someone can enlighten me.
Jrun 3.1 doesn't even implement Servlet API 2.3 and whenever I hear talk of Java Server Faces I seem to hear J2EE. However I have no great wish to update Jrun with our server running smoothly (touch wood) and changing from J2SE to J2EE seems like yet another big change.
I had a look at changing to Tomcat, but again why do so when things are running smoothly as they are?
Ok, so I've been looking at Java Web Services pack, which seems to solve some of the problems and the blurb says:
"Note that the Java WSDP is an integrated toolkit that you can use to develop and deploy not only Web services, but also Web and XML-based applications".
But presumably I need a servlet container behind it and Jrun 3.1 is probably too old, is that right?
Ok, at this point perhaps I could leave my existing applications running happily in Jrun 3.1 and J2SE, install Tomcat and J2EE separately and run any new applications alongside in the new environment. I've got 1GB of memory, and then maybe one day I move over the old applications.
Perhaps somebody could give me some pointers, given my situation.
Thanks for your time.JavaServer Faces requires an environment that supports at least Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2. It will not run on any server that supports Servlet 2.2 or earlier only. Any J2EE 1.3 or later app server meets these criteria, but it's not required (for JavaServer Faces) that you have a full J2EE server unless you need those facilities (such as EJBs) for your applications.
The Java Web Services Developer Pack includes Tomat 5, or you can use an existing Tomcat installation (must be 4.1 or 5.0). Tomcat is pretty easy to set up (especially if you just use it standalone, and not try to run it behind the Apache HTTPD server).

Need "getting started" help...
Hi everyone,
I'm fresh to Java3D and I've seen the tutorials and all. But I already know Jazz (Java 2D-based graphics engine), and I think it's much more heavy to get into Java 3D than it was to get to know Jazz...
Does anyone know any lightweight tutorials or other ways of easily getting started? What I wanna do is virtual worlds with objects moving around (simulations).
Warm regards,
JezThe comment about knowing a 2d engine is like saying "I can walk but it is hard to rock climb" - both depend on you having legs, but just because you can do one it doesn't mean the other is equally easy. The fact is that 3d is hard. Java3d tries to make it easier for us, but sometimes the way it works can actually be harder to understand than the underlying maths it is building on, especially if you don't know where to look for stuff in the javadocs. When I was getting started in j3d I had exactly the same problem- I'm still sort of getting started but I have put together a tutorial on the stuff I have learned already, which doesn't expect you to really know much about j3d and might be the kind of thing you're after:

No "Getting Started" help file
I click under "help" "Getting Started with Garageband" but get errors that the "file doesn't exist or has been deleted." How do I get this to work. I've re-installed numerous times.
I'm not sure.
After I clicked on the link, I saved a copy of the file (GarageBand Getting Started.pdf) to a folder I named "UserGuides", inside a folder I named "Software", inside the "Music" folder of the Apple Finder window.
When I click on the "Help" menu in GarageBand and select "GarageBand Getting Started", the file "GarageBand Getting Started.pdf" opens right up. I do not know whether it is there as a result of my downloading and saving it, or was there all along.
What happens when you click on the "Help" menu in GarageBand, and select "GarageBand Getting Started"?

Trying to get simple Help at this Hell Hole.....
Excuise the frustration, but the cycle and attempt to get simple help here is almost impossable.
My three questions I think are simple...but I can't find the support to get the answers. The questions are:
1. I’m using Windows 7 professional it’s 64 bit…do I need to install the 32 bit CS5 as well?
2. I downloaded from the web CS5 do I need to keep in my computer the 1.69 Gig folder “Adobe CS5.1” which contains Photoshop CS5.1 Read Me and Adobe CS5.1, which has the exe file on it… or can I put it on a DVD? Would I have to do anything special to reinstall (if I ever needed to) with the DVD?
3. Now that everything is downloaded and installed do I need to keep Akamai_NetSession_Installer in my computer or may I uninstall and delete it?
Now that I've asked the question I have no instruction, or idea of where I go to get an answer if one is ever posted. This appears to me to be a very poor way to run a business...1. You do not need to install the 32-bit version.
2. The Photoshop installer you downloaded is what is on the DVD. There should be no special steps if you ever needed to reinstalld with the DVD, it would be like the install you just did.
3. You may uninstall and delete the Akamai_NetSession_Installer.

New Mac mini - cannot get started - HELP please
HI everybody
I am struggling to get started with my macmini. I have it attached to a cinema display and switched it on expecting to go through the start up procedure and registration which is usually so intuitive.
The screen shows a wireless mouse diagram indicating that I must insert batteries. Now I do use a wireless mighty mouse and I assumed that everything would talk to each other automatically. Is this where I am going wrong? I am certain that my mini comes with bluetooth but do I need to use a 'plug in' mouse to get everything up and running?
Many thanks in anticipation of your responses.
JillAfter you put the batteries in the mouse, did you open the slider on the mouse to turn it on?
Try it again with the mouse powered up and on before you start the computer, sometimes there is a bit of a pause while communication is established. -

Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

Trying to Get Started With Windows 8.1
I'm not a troll, I'm just a crotchety, oldster trying to figure out how to get Windows 8.1 to fit my workflow. I've been using Windows 7 for the last bunch of years, so I'm a bit late to the Windows 8 party, but I'm building a new PC and figured I'd
move to 8.1 instead of continuing with 7...
I liked the XP interface - extremely easy to find the application I wanted because things were hierarchical. Windows 7 was more bothersome, but I got used to it. So far, after 3 days, I'm still struggling with Windows 8.1, so I figure I'll get some
guidance here...
I did a rummage, but didn't find much on how I should change my workflow to make it easier in 8.1. In Windows 7 I had a desktop with icons for less frequently used applications, a taskbar with frequently used applications pinned, and a start menu (3rd
party) with EVERYTHING organized hierarchically so it was easy to find what I need. I'm trying to use 8.1 without adding a bunch of 3rd party stuff to make it look more like older interfaces that were organized differently.
In Windows 8, I appear to have the equivalent of THREE desktops, all different, none with any hierarchical organization.
I'm not seeing the advantage of the Start screen... Are the boxes, of whatever size, just the equivalent of icons or do they do something better? And I only appear to be able to organize horizontally, which means I'm limited to six named groups.
On the Apps screen, I already have a large number of my apps, despite deleting a bunch of the "modern" things. They exceed the width of the 24" monitor I'm using for setup. There doesn't seem to be any hierarchy there, either.
So, for example, for Office I have at least 12 icons/apps/whatevers. Including the ones I CARE about, like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook that I use regularly. AND a bunch of OTHER stuff I VERY rarely use like Clip Organizer, and Groove,
and Uploader, and so on. But, I can't take them off the screen if I ever want to get at them, right? 'Cause there's no start menu any more...
I also have a lot of stuff for handling e-books - Calibre, a Kindle Reader, OverDrive, Adobe Digital Additionsl, a Nook Reader, a couple 3M cloud things, and so on. On the Apps page they're all OVER the place instead of being grouped together (which at
least the Office stuff is). And there doesn't appear to be a way to have them be together and hierarchical so I can quickly find Calibre or ADE quickly, and only have to see the Kindle reader or Nook reader when I want them... So how do folks organize
their screens so they don't have to wade through hundreds of things you only need once a year to get to the ones you use a couple times a month or once a week?
I also have a bunch of stuff that's just a single application, like Syncback, but instead of just being "Syncback", there' ANOTHER line that tells me who the creator is - I don't care that 2BrightSparks made it, I just want to be able to find it when
I need it - once in a while.
The desktop is as it's always been, but I don't want 2 or 300 icons on there for a bunch of stuff I rarely use. The constantly used stuff will be pinned to the taskbar, and the less frequently can be icons, but where do I do to organize all the
other stuff?
So, in my ignorance - is there a way to have 8.1 support MY workflow, or if not, how do other people organize things to make it as easy as possible to find what you need without having to wade through a ton of stuff you don't? And have it all fit on the
screen.
I found the Name Group thing for the Start screen, but I can only group applications aross the screen? Which limits me to 6 groups. How do I configure that screen so I can have multiple groups in a column?
And the Apps screen. How do I organize things hierarchically so I can have the Office stuff I care about visible, with the rest not clogging up space but available for drilling down?
I currently have the system boot to the desktop, which is most like Windows 7, but without a start menu to group things, I'd need a lot of icons for the applications I use, and a lot MORE for the stuff I rarely use. Cumbersome.
How are other people organizing in 8.1?I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".

Some very "newbie" networking questions -- trying to get started
Hello all. Since this forum is so friendly for issues related to Arch, I thought I'd post my semi-arch related question.
I'm trying to create a network for my house, consisting of about 3 computers. I have a book reference, TCP/IP Network Administration from O'reilly, but I think I need a bit of a "kick-start" in order to get to a level in which I can comfortably understand the book (if that makes sense).
I've got internet access working by connecting to a router and having everything configured by DHCP (ie, in rc.conf, eth0="dhcp"). What's bothering me (and I don't even know if it should) is that the other computers on the physical network are not visible to me.
IE, when I try to connect to them with their host name, it doesn't recognise them. My understanding of that is that either I need to manually set the hostnames of the other computers on the network in /etc/hosts, or use something like a DNS server on one of the computers in the network in order to recognize the others.
My other doubt is that I think I've got a dynamic IP address (though it might be static, I'm not quite sure). Does that change things?
I don't expect you guys to completely run through me setting up the network (that's what the book is for!) but some basic advice on either my misconceptions (I'm sure I have plenty) or related in general to my situation would be awsome and highly appreciated. I'd also be happy to provide any additional info that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.ralvez wrote:
My set up is simple.
I have a Linux router running on an old Pentium machine. It has two cards, one configured for the private network (with an address like 192.168.1.1) and the second card set up to take addresses from DHCP ( since that's how Rogers sends you the public address).
In that machine I run my firewall, SmoothWall (smoothwall.org) and have enabled NAT so the machines in the inside network can go to the Internet.
I have Samba set up in another machine to share files (that's an Arch system) with static IP, my daughter's machine (another Arch system), my system (obviously another Arch with static IP) and my wife's machine with Windows XP system (static IP too).
So, the key concept here are:
1. Use static IPs for the private network
2. Use DHCP for Rogers
3. Use NAT in your router so all the machines can go to the Internet but no one from the Internet can get to them.
Hope this helps.
R
p.s. feel free to contact me off the list if you need further details/help.
Aha! So, for example, the network 192.168.0.0 where mask is 255.255.255.0 is a private network set up by my router, right?
So the addresses in 192.168.0.0 never change, but the public IP address of the hosts do change?
Does that mean that if, for example, I have a host called 192.168.0.32 that its address never changes? Can I simply add that to all the other hosts' /etc/hosts file and it won't change?
All I was ever concerned about was allowing hosts in the network to contact each other via hostname. If that never changes then I'm all set.
BTW, thanks for your continuing help!

Premiere newbie would appreciate and be very happy for some "get-started" help
Hi
QUESTION 1
I´m a complete newbie to premiere elements. I have imported some .mts files and some .avi files from my digital HD camera....when I create a project all available move clips appear in my project to become possible to drag into my project timeline ..BUT it´s only the .avi´s that are being presented with a "snapshot image" of the clip, all .mts movies are just presented with a blue-ish standard icon and this gives me a hard time knowing exactelly which clip I should pick without having to open the movie.
I hope this is just a setting or can someone tell me why i cant spot an "image" representation from the .mts file to makes it easier to spot what the content of the file/s are ?
QUESTION 2
Can someone give me some words about how to best structure moveies and images on the file system and also "inside" elements. I have two physical disks, one large 1TB disk and one smaller 80 GB SSD disk. How should I think here...all media on the "slower" disk and only the premiere software on teh faster SSd disk ?
QUESTION 3
In the end, after editing movies, of course I would be able to present the material in the best format possible which I guess is blue-ray...but to be able to create a project that will make it possible to output a blue ray format, I have understood that I need to apply some sort of add on to my premiere installation, is that correct and if so - how can I do this and also from where do I get this add-on/plugin ?
Based upon my camera files (.mts), I would like to use my PS3 to present the finished material, can you give me some sort of step by step guidance to how to setup the project. SHould I use the .mts files and edit these, or should I perhaps convert them to something else and then make my movie ?? As you can hear I´m pretty confused about all these formats and what to do to make the end result as good as it can get
I´m not really sure about my initial recording either..I have a Canon HF10 recorder, and as far as I know to be able to get teh best quality for my "raw" material I need to use a format selection called "FXP" on the camera ? Does someone know if this is the best to use (perhaps a stupid question since i guess this will differ a lot between camera models perhaps) ?
REALLY would appreciate help on these above questions to be able to know the starting point....
Hope to get some answers that will help me up & running in a while...
Thanks
HelmutHunt, thanks again for your answer, I will try to look into the organizer issue
in other ways, thinking about looking into the books suggested by Steve..
Something else I guess you can guide me through though is the different formats...jsut to mention, I basically dont know a thing about different movie formats, the only thing I know is that I have a HDdigital video recorder (Canon HF10) and that the files I copy across to my machine is of this .mts format...
should I make another setting on my video camera to get another format of the files I record and the files I then transfer to my computer..remember I´m a total newbie so when you mention that you should have converted to HDV - this does not say me anything unfortunatelly....could you in any easy watell me the basic things I should know....when I created my project in premiere I was asked to select what kind of project settings I wanted to have...for this selection a number of different formats was possible and I jsut picked one of them basically wthout knowing what I was doing.....kind of frustrating since I want to make the best qualty output from my movies and also the edited output from premiere...
Is it possible to give some easily understood intro and what small things I should always do......like when selecting the project "media" or what specific setting to check that are important on the video camera itself.....what is the best/highest quality format to work with/edit to get the best output from my finished medias etc
Apprecite your help a lot
Thanks
Helmut
