Trying to get started with Lr 5 and already in trouble

I just downloaded LR 5 and when asked if I wanted to use the default for Catelog I choose to brouse and direct it to my Cateloge of Pictures on the harddrive when my pictures are stored.... I did this thinnking that it would link me to the pictures... now I am not sure that is what it was asking during the download.. was it asking for the location where Lr will store the data files? Help!!

The catalog (which is really a database) is a file that Lightroom creates, and it contains all the work you do in Lightroom, but not the photos themselves, which are never stored in Lightroom.
The catalog can go anywhere you want it to go, it does not have to be in the same folder as your photos, and there is no benefit, nor is there a disadvantage, to placing it in the same folder as the photos.
Most people recommend that your catalog file should be stored on the fastest hard disk on your computer, which is often the internal disk or a SSD disk.
was it asking for the location where Lr will store the data files?
It depends on what you mean by "data files". As I said, Lightroom does NOT store your photo files. Your photo files are stored on a hard disk somewhere that you choose. So you were not being asked where to store the photos. You were being asked where the catalog should reside.

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

Iphoto crashes so tried the Alt start with new library and that worked. So now what? How to I get back to my pictures.

That shows you that iPhoto is working correctly and whatever issue you are having is based in your original library.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

General questions on how to get started with Oracle OEPE and databases

My company has a server in the cloud, written using Ruby on Rails. The server is designed to work with a browser, so it communicates via standard HTTP.
The server has an SQL database.
The server sends and receives HTTP requests from clients, which are then used to either update the database or retrieve information from the database.
The database can be edited from a separate admin dashboard.
I have recently rewritten our client software as a native android app. The new app makes calls to the server that look like browser calls. I have used Eclipse to develop the Android app.
Sounds pretty standard so far, right? :-)
I now want to replace the Ruby on Rails server with a new Java server that I will write. I want to use Eclipse to develop the new server. During development, I want to be able to have the new Android app communicate with the development server software that will reside on my desktop.
So I was thinking that Oracle's tools might be perfect for me, if only I knew which tools to use. There are lot to choose from. :-)
I believe that all I need is OEPE and a database. I would like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to learn 20 new tools. It will be enough effort to become proficient in OEPE and a database.
I looked at "Oracle Database Tools >> Connecting to an Oracle database" in the help files for OEPE 12.1.1. I tried going through the help files for Database connections, but I got to a "New Connection Profile" form that asks me for a SID, a user name, a password, etc. I don't have any of those. I tried to enter some data in the forms and ping the database, but I could not get any results from the ping. So my first question is: Do I have to sign up for an Oracle database in the cloud or is there a database contained within the OEPE software that I just installed. I will have to do the former anyway when I eventually deploy my new server software, so maybe the right thing to do is sign up for the "database in the cloud" service now, and use it during development.
The other question I have is about getting a simple application client and server application sample. I found a "hello world" example at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs103/guide/webapplications/workshopJSP/tutorialJSP/TutorialJSPMakeJSP.html, but that is for WLS 10.3 and it doesn't seem to match the 12.1.1 software very well.
So does anybody know where I can find a simple client and server sample program for WLS 12.1.1?
If I can get these two questions answered, I can start making some progress.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me navigate this minefield.
Jim

I wanted to add some information to my previous posting.
1. The server I will develop will communicate ONLY with Android and iOS native apps, so the interface will not be HTML or XML. The information sent by the server to the client will be JSON. The information sent by the client to the server will be HTTP parameters, usually in the form of URL-encoded form data. This is not a browser-to-server server interface, so JSP is probably not appropriate for the server. The communication protocol will be HTTP.
2. I don't need anything fancy on the server side. The server will simply be a Java program that emits JSON responses to the client and receives URL-encoded form data from the client. The server program will also make database queries and update the database.
3. I don't understand how my native Android app will be able to communicate with my development server code running on my desktop. I want that communication to be over the internet, but my desktop does not have a static IP address, so I don't see how the app will be able to address the development server software on my desktop PC. I don't want to deploy the server software into the cloud every time I start a debug run, but I don't see any other way for my app to be able to address the server code over the Internet.
If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.

Getting started with aironet 1200 and radius

Hi,
Does anyone has a manual how to configure some aironet 1200 AP's with the use of a radius server?
The best would be a manual from start (reset to factory defaults) to a working solution.
The built-in radius server or a windows 2008r2 radius server are both possible for me.
I have tried both, buth did not succeed. (unknown EAP type and unknown username in the radius log)
Kind regards,
Ernst

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".

Getting started with Server Faces and Data

Hello All,
I am just starting a Java Server Faces project and I am new to the technology and have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers to. I am developing using IBM's Rational Software Architect as my IDE and I am creating a Java Server Faces Portlet Application.
I have gone through many tutorials and am getting a good sense of navigation, beans and tags but in all of the tutorials no one has shown a working model of how to grab existing data from a data source and display it on a jsp. From what I have seen the "backing beans" for each jsp page don't seem to have an entry point so I'm a little confuse as to where you would make your call to fill up a bean that is consumed by the jsp.
For example say I have a simple page with 2 labels: one for first name and one for last name, I have created a bean called User with 2 properties (firstname, lastname) each with getters and setters created. Then I have a public method called "GetUser" that returns back an instance of this user bean with some fake data (Is this common practice? I come from a C++/C# background and normally this would be a static method or a method in a controller class somewhere but some of the tutorials I've looked at are doing it this way). Now where does my JSP call this GetUser method? and do I still create a managed bean and bind the firstname/lastname fields to the labels?
If anyone could point me in the right direction, a better tutorial or anything that would be great.
Thanks in advance

     public String getLastName() {
          return lastName;
     public void setLastName(String lastName) {
          this.lastName = lastName;

     public User getUser() {
          return user;
     public void setUser(User user) {
          this.user = user;

String basePath = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+path+"/";
%>

          <h:outputLabel value="#{UserBean.user.lastName}"/>

</html>Output is:
John DoeUserBean is a managed bean (session scope in that case, but it could also request scope, it doesn't matter here)

Getting started with understanding when and how to employ Forefront

Hello,
I am a BizSpark member and setting up a team software development environment. It appears I will have to open my Team Foundation Server to the outside for certain aspects.
1) As I have been studying how to set that up I came across Forefront. I don't really know anything about Forefront and I am first wondering if this is something I need to install/engage for my situation.
2) Assuming I need to start working with Forefront I would appreciate recommendations for books/tutorials that can get one up to speed quickly and efficiently.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

Hi,
if you want to publish internal applications / websites to the Internet you can use Forefront TMG and UAG, but keep in mind that this products has been discontinued:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
As a possible alternative you can use the WAP if you don't need all security capabilities of Forefront TMG/UAG

Trying to get started with iPad

I received an iPad for Christmas. However, I have an iMac 17" flat screen PowerPC G4 running Mac OSX 10.4.11 with iTune 8. (Yes I know I am a little behind the curve but it all as worked for me until now.) On the iPad box it says I need OS 10.5.8 and at least iTunes 9.1. I am covered for the iTunes as I have a copy of iTune 9. My problem is finding OS 10.5. I did a little research yesterday and found 10.5.4 for $200 which I think is quite high since I want to recall the original release for 10.5 was only $129, and the upgrades are usually free from Apple. Also there is no guarantee that I'll get a PowerPC version. I ran into that with some other older Apple software I ordered from a third party. Any suggestions on were to turn to get a copy of 10.5 for a PowerPC G4?
Thanks for your help.
Retiredmac

Well, I was curious about 10.5 and googled it. Seems the "going" price for a new box is $199, but I did find a link to Amazon where it was on sale for $162. I would recommend doing an extensive search for Mac OS X 10.5 and see what prices you might find. But it seems that, unless you are buying used, the price will be much higher than $129.

I use on a daily basis Lightroom 5,7 (get started withe version 3) and bought today a Sony Alpha 7 Mk2 but it seems impossible to develop .arw photos with that software. Is there a possibility to overcome this very bad surprise without leaving Lightroom?

Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider car l'assistance d'adobe est tout simplement inexistante.

Great and well done,
ManyThanks to you, Nick and Rilk. You are right with the correct solution wich i hoped. What is really rare is that my version 5.7 (I thought it was the most recent one) didn't update to 5.7.1.
With the 5.7.1 version I tested the development of two test photos in arw format and it works very well. I'm starting in the FF world after years working with DX format.(Nikon D7000 and other Nikons before)
The 2 test photos i took where taken with a FE 4 70-200 G OSS (SEL70200G) objective in a room under artificial light and without any flashlight. Let me say the worst conditions...
Well, the result is astonishing not so bad at all after correction of the white balance. It is promising in better conditions outside;
Other objectives are currently ordered : Sony Zeiss Vario Tessar T FE 16-35 mm F/4 ZA OSS and Sony Zeiss FE 55 mm F/1,8.
All what i need for nice shots in the future.
Many thanks to you again
Best regards

Guidance on getting started with XML/SOAP and JDeveloper

I am not a novice programmer, but I am new to Java and web services and I need to get up to speed very quickly on JDeveloper, XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, etc. Nothing I have read so far is making any sense. Could anyone please suggest the best place to start getting grounded in XML/SOAP messaging. It is my task to send and receive messages to an existing SOAP service on the web conveying data from our E-Bis Suite. Thanks, Bill.

Thanks! I made it through the JDeveloper Tutorial. I see a tutorial on the list specifically for Web Service from WSDL, so that's next. Hopefully, as I study the pieces, it will become easier to see how they all fit together.
