Trying to run GIMP, but need some x11 thingies.
I got myself GIMP for Leopard, but to run it requires something with an "x" and "11" in it. What is that, where to get it, and how to make it work?
Hi, let me 1st say that GIMP is the worst Graphic APP I've ever seen, it's not really the APP, it's just X11 & the Interface... & it gives me no pleasure to deride it, I'm certain that thousands of peop[le devoted lots of time to do it... for the 3 people in tis Galaxy that use it after 2 or 3 uses!
Anyway, if your time is worth less than 10 cents an hour, see this...

I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?
Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
(I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
Thank you very much! -

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
New Member wanting to buy but needs some info..
Hello all, I am new to this forum.
I have found this forum in the search of information regarding these Wind Top pc's.
Information is fairly thin on the net so I thought it best to join this forum and ask my questions here where I am sure I will get acurate answers.
I have searched the threads here in but still need some clarification.
My scenario is as follows:
I want to use one of these AIO's mainly as a music and music video jukebox.
Tv tuner, either built in or usb external would be good also.
Sound output is to a set of active Audioengine A5 2.0 speakers.
Ive been checking out a few other brands like:
Asus, Shuttle, HP, Lenovo and Gateway, though I like the look of the MSI ones the best.
16 inch is realistically too small, 20 inch is just about right and 22 inch upwards may be a little big and probably a little to much like a fully fledged pc, which may be a little much for what I need?
It will be placed in my Kitchen/Dining/Sitting room. Size is 8m x 6m.
I dont really want to spend a fortune, maybe below a $1000 if possibe but definately not to much above $1000. I am in Australia, Tasmania actually and viewing/demoing is fairly non existant.
The MSI 2020 or 2220 etc is probably at the top of my list.
It looks similar to a large picture/photo frame as apposed to a fully fledged computer.
I have attached my Audioengine A5's to my dell 15" laptop, T6400 or 2.0 gig core 2 cpu, 3 gig ram and Radeon HD4570 gfx.
Installed 80 gig of music and when starting/browsing windows media center for music, it does OK but I can see its not as quick as I would like it to be.
Therefore what worries me is trying to work out how one of these lower specked MSI wind top touchscreens will perform.
Can anyone please share their thoughts or experience especially regarding the browsing and playing of a music mp3 collection of reasonable size eg 80 gig etc.
Thanks in advanceIt's probably a good idea to check out reviews as that will give a good idea of whether it meets your needs. I don't own a Wind Top so can't comment on what it's like to use.
MSI Wind Top AE2220 review: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/1594404/msi-wind-top-ae2220
You'll obviously want better performance than your laptop, which would rule out the Wind Top AE2020, since that has an Pentium T4500 Dual-Core processor, which is slower than the Core 2 Duo T6400. The Wind Top AE2220 would be the better choice of the two since it can come with the Core 2 Duo T6600 processor. -
Facebook & Flickr: nice but need some finishing touches.
I'm desperate for a marked to published option in both Flickr and Facebook.
Flickr (for me) retains the comments when a photo is republished which is great, however comments are removed if a photo is updated in Facebook, is there a reason for this? Adobe? There is a warning dialogue box for FB so i am thankful for that.
So basically i just need a way to stop some photos from being republished, wether it's to keep the comments from being deleted or simply because i tweaked a particular image for a print.
A menu or mouse click option would be great, or even better to be able to drag a thumb from marked to republish back to published (no harm no foul).
I really hope this doesn't start a 'FB doesn't work at all on my machine thread'. It worked great for me on my Macbook Pro using Safari as my default browser but it's far from obvious how to set this feature up and was like stumbling around in the dark.
It's really great to have these features at all in Lightroom so i hope this is taken lightly as constructive criticism.I think you will find this is a Flickr issue. You require a Flickr paid for account to republish images without removing comments, on unpaid account the behaviour is the same as Facebook. I assume when Facebook charges foir accounts it will release an api that allows this to happen as has Flickr, I would guess that Facebook and Flickr are both trying to make a few quid and Facebook can see how Flickr persuade some to pay cash to have a little pro next to their name and think...that's a good idea.

Array to grid works but need some help. Please help the beginner...
Hi,
I'm very green at this...
I've been trying to display a two-dimmensional array on a dataGrid and finally found some code that I was able to modify to my needs.
However couple things I don't understand.
1. Do I need the <s:itemRenderer>...</s:itemRenderer> section to display the data? Can this be simplified?
I don't need to change the default look of the columns etc. However it looks like the grid will not populate without that prepare() function.
Why isn't this sufficient to populate the grid? -> dataGrid.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection(dataArray);
2. The number of columns is hardcoded (3) and their headings are as well (N1, N2, N3).
Can I show/hide columns at runtime based on number of columns in my array?
Can I rename the column's headings at runtime?
Thanks,
Tom

Considering switching to mac but need some help
Sorry if this is inappropriate for this forum or section. Wasn't sure where else to post. My pc finally died and am tired of viruses, pc problems etc, so I got the green light for a mac from my wife (thinking of a mini). My question is how do I get all my backed up data on my western digital my book (pc formatted) onto my new mac? Is it possible?
I was thinking it is since I've read that macs can run windows. Theoretically I would think that if I turned the mac in windows and plugged my My book external drive, it should recognize it, right?The Mac should recognize your drive without dealing with installing Windows.
If your data that is backed up is just in folders, etc, then why even mess with windows? I thought the whole idea was to get away from the PC virus issues and stuff.
Mac's can *read and write* to PC drives that have been formatted with Fat32 (common with Win98, XP and most external drives) and they can read drives that have been formatted with NTFS (common with XP internal drives). After you get your data off of the drive, you can use Disk Utility to change the partition type to HFS+ and format the drive for Mac's and Time Machine or just use it with Fat32 for transferring files to PC's etc.
You mount the drive by plugging it in, it shows up on the Mac desktop, drag the files onto your Mac and put them in the proper folders or make new ones.
If your files are standard computer files like PDF's, Doc's, Jpg's, then they will open with MacIntosh versions of the programs you used on the PC or other programs specific to the Mac. In the PDF example, I don't even install Adobe Acrobat Reader on a Mac (who needs the security issues) and use Apple's Preview program instead.
For my clients who are switchers, there are usually only two programs in common use on a PC that are a problem for Mac's - The PC version of Quickbooks is better and there is no MS Access Database program for the Mac. There are Mac versions of almost all of the most common PC programs, or excellent replacement programs for the Mac. Programs are easy to deal with, it's the data that you can't replace.
Deal with Windows if you have to, but many don't and use their files and hardware anyway...
Hope this helps. -
Newbie question but need some advice!!!
Hi,
I Have Flash CS3 and am constructing an SWF for a presentation that will be shown on a TV
The presentation is a large video file with audio already edited and finished
Additionally i need a news ticker across the bottom of the screen to disaply scrolling text like news, events etc.
I'm not too familiar with actionscrip but i was thinking about running the video (FLV) into embedded video in the flash file, and then putting the scrolling ticker over this?
I can get any ticker that pulls from an XML and the embedded video i can already do
The only problem is how do i get the SWF to play full screen? what measurements should i use? is there a standard?
It will be running on a windows 7 laptop and hooked up to a 42" LCD TV
Or is there a better way of doing this completely?
Any advice would be greatly appreaciated!
Cheers
GThanks for the advice
Unfortunately I dont have After Effects and the ticker will be changing every few days so the XML will be a definite need rather than static.
As for the fullscreen issue - I somehow need to get the SWF to play fullscreen on the laptop without browser window bars as this will then be connected to TV and VGA output used
I assume I can just open the SWF in Flash Player and set to full-screen yeah?
I suppose I can mess with stage sizes to fill the screen as much as possible first so englargement is kept to a minimum -
Trying to survive HD crash-need some help
My kid went to boot his Macbook last PM and spun then went black. I booted from Leopard Disc and the HD has failed and none of the repairs are successful. Backup? Heck no.
I took the HD out and put it in my Macbook to see if I could save it-no joy. I installed it in an external USB drive and the files and Apps were visible. I can copy them to the other Macbook from the external but will they now be on the other drive or ??? Once I replace the HD, can I just do a transfer to the new HD and have solved the problem?
Thanks.
JBYou need to copy over some files then try to open them. Even if they show up with a badly damaged disk the files themselves could be damaged. If they copy over an you can open them then it should be OK.
Don't do too much with the damaged drive because each time you try to use it you could be damaging more files. There is disk recovery software but if you can copy them over you won't need to spend the $100 for it.
You can also take it to a disk recovery service but that will get a lot more expensive than $100. The one time I did it it cost $800 but all my files were recovered, which was about a year's worth of work for one client.
I then went out and bought external drives and cloned everything with SuperDuper!
