Understanding the basics

You know you are in trouble when you cannot complete step #2 of a tutorial. The good news is I understand all the AS3 code, I am a programmer by trade.
The tutorial in question is Build a Dynamic Flash Gallery with Slider Controland I am stuck on creating the movies in step 2. I did go through a more basic tutorial on Adobe's web site and know that I can turn a tool, like the rectangler tool, into a Movie Clip. But I don't know exactly how the author got to the screens shown in step 2. Did he create that from the Rectangler Tool or did he do something else?
While I wait an answer to this very basic question, I am going to be going through more tutorials from this page, thanks!
Sam

Yea, I have been going through some more tutorials and the basics are starting to make a lot more sence now, like how to do the gradient, thank you!
I have been able to progress quite far in the original tutorial. I am in Step #11 now. But when I went to step into the code, I ran into a problem that stems from the brevity of step #6. I am getting this error when I try to run the movie:
Description: 1120: Access of undefined property descr.
Source: descr.text = src;
In step six the instructions are:
"Start off with creating a movieclip about the size you want your images to be displayed. Give it a margin of a few pixels and save some space on the bottom for the description text. Add a dynamic text field for the description and give it an instance name of 'descr'."
Based on what I have learned about Flash, I created my own rectangle using the Rectangle Primitive Tool and then created a dynamic text field on the rectangle. Then I selected both things and created a movie clip (F8) of them. It was after the fact I give the dynamic text field the instance name of 'descr'. But it does have a name now.
I have tried to go into the author's source code and look at the dynamic text on his Img movie clip, but I cannot select the dynamic text in his Img movie clip. (Yes, I am going to the Library and double clicking on the Img item.)
There is one of two problems:
1: I did not create my movie clip correctly.
2: I do not have my Img object using the Img.cs file correctly.
I believe it is #1 because I don't think I would get the error if #2 was the issue, for the error is in the file and I would not get the compiler error to begin with, I think
Any help would be appreciated!
Sam
P.S. I am attaching what I have done so far.

Trying to understand the basics of iTunes

It may sound stupid, but after having read various manuals, guides, forum discussions, I still don't understand the basics of iTunes - is a 64 yo maybe too old for this?
Yes, I can fill my iPod with music and sync it with my laptop. But to manage everything well, I need answers on these questions:
- After I add my laptop folder MY MUSIC to the iTunes library, does iTunes make COPIES of all my files in that folder? Or just links? If copies, where are they stored?
- What does the term synchronisation include? Does it mean: the music in the iTunes library will be identical to the music in the iPod? Or:
- Will all changes in that folder automatically lead to updates of my iTunes library? Changes such as adding/removing files, changing filenames, modifying files with audio editors. If the contents are not automatically updated/synchronised, is there a manual way to do that?
- And vice versa: if I delete a song in iTunes, does that effect the source file in MY MUSIC? If not, is there an option to delete the song there as well?
- Could I theoretically delete the whole contents of MY MUSIC folder after all files have been added to iTunes? Is it recommended to do so? Or should I keep the 'originals'?
- The same goes for cd's: After I (automatically or manually) added the contents of a cd to iTunes, could I theoretically throw or give it away?
- There is the option to find doubles. If I want to delete one or more of them, how do I know which file I delete. I mean this: if song X is part of album A but also of a bunch of single files, then I would like to keep the album folder complete and just delete the 'single' occurrence. But how to determine that?
- Changing filenames in MY MUSIC often has no effect on the filename as displayed in iTunes. Why not?
- I think that is all for now. Maybe later I still come across more basic questions.
Could anyone give me the basic answers? And if possible in language for dummies, not in nerd slang, please
Thanks!

*After I add my laptop folder MY MUSIC to the iTunes library, does iTunes make COPIES of all my files in that folder? Or just links? If copies, where are they stored?*
That depends. Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced. If "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder" is checked then iTunes is "copying" the files into the iTunes Music folder which is inside the iTunes folder. The library is then referenced to the location of the copy ( in this case you can if you wish delete the original). If it's unchecked it is adding the songs to to your iTunes library but referencing the location that the file is in without making a copy.
*Will all changes in that folder automatically lead to updates of my iTunes library? Changes such as adding/removing files, changing filenames, modifying files with audio editors.*
No, iTunes doesn't support folder watching so all changes have to be made within iTunes.
*If the contents are not automatically updated/synchronised, is there a manual way to do that?*
File>Add File to Library: Adding Content to iTunes
*if I delete a song in iTunes, does that effect the source file in MY MUSIC? If not, is there an option to delete the song there as well?*
iTunes will delete songs from the library and move them to Trash (Recycle Bin) only if they are in the iTunes Music folder. (iTunes will ask if you want to trash the file if this is the case, it doesn't trash it automatically). If your songs are kept outside of this folder then deleting only removes the reference to the song from the library and you have to go to the folder they are located in to trash the file itself.
*Could I theoretically delete the whole contents of MY MUSIC folder after all files have been added to iTunes? Is it recommended to do so? Or should I keep the 'originals'?*
You could only delete the songs from the original folder if you have set the preference above to copy the files to the iTunes Music folder, if not you have to keep them where they are. Regardless of where the files are stored you would be well advised to back them up in case you have problems with your computer. You might also find this article interesting/useful: iLounge - The Complete Guide to Backing Up your iTunes Library
*The same goes for cd's: After I (automatically or manually) added the contents of a cd to iTunes, could I theoretically throw or give it away?*
You don't own the copyright of the song, basically you own the license to play it. if you make a copy and then sell/give the CD away you are essentially sharing the files illegally.
*There is the option to find doubles. If I want to delete one or more of them, how do I know which file I delete. I mean this*
You would have to check the location of the file manually to be sure which one you wanted to keep.
*Changing filenames in MY MUSIC often has no effect on the filename as displayed in iTunes*
Because iTunes doesn't support folder watching, changes need to be made within iTunes. Changing the name of a file outside of iTunes can cause iTunes to lose the location of the file since it is referenced under the name it had when you added it.

Trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.

I am trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.
Object - a region of storage that define is defined by both state/behavior.
( An object is the actual thing that behavior affects.)
State - Represented by a set of variables and the values they contain.
(Is the location or movement or action that is the goal that the behavior is trying to accomplish.)
Variables- (What does this mean?)
Value - (What does this mean?)
Behavior - Represented by a set of methods and the logic they implement.
( A set of methods that is built up to tell's the how object to change it's state. )
Methods - A procedure that is executed when an object receives a message.
( A very basic comand.For example the method tells the object to move up, another method tells the method to go left. Thus making the object move up/left that combination is the behavior.)
Class - A template from which the objects are created.
( I am very confused on what classes are.)
- The definitions of the words I obtained from the "Osborne Teach Yourself Java". The () statements are how I interperate the Mechanisms (I do not know if Thats what you call them.) interact with each other. I understand my interpretation may be horribly wrong. I will incredibly appreciate all the support I may get from you.
Thank you

Object oriented programming is a replacement for the older idea of procedural programming (you can research procedural programming in google). As I understand it, in procedural programming, you have a step by step set of function calls to accomplish some task. Each function receives a data structure, manipulates it, and passes it to the next function. The problem with this is that each function preforms some action for the overall task and can't easily be reused by some other task. Its also harder to read the flow of what is happening with raw data structures flying all over the place.
In object oriented programming, an object calls a function of another object and receives back, not a data structure, but another object. Objects contain a data structure that can only be accessed by its functions. An object is not so much a sub component of a bigger task, as it is a service that any other task can use for any purpose. Also, when you pass an object to the caller, the caller can ask questions about the data structure via its functions. The developer doesnt have to know what the previous function did to the data by reading up on any documentation, or having to reverse engineer the code.
I suggest the best way of learning this is to code something like a library object.
A library object contains a collection of book objects
A book object contains a collection of chapter objects
A chapter object contains a collection of paragraph objects
A paragraph object contains a collection of sentence objects
A sentence object contains a collection of word objects.
Add functions to each object to provide a service
Example: A library object should have a:
public void addBook(Book book)
public Book getBook(String title)
public boolean isBookInLibrary(String title)
The key is to add functions to provide a service to anyone who uses your object(s)
For example, what functions (service) should a paragraph object provide?
It shouldn't provide a function that tells how many words there are in a sentence. That function belongs to a sentence object.
Lets say you want to add a new chapter to a book. The task is easy to read
if you write your objects well:
Sentence sentence1=new Sentence("It was a dark and stormy night");
Sentence sentence2=new Sentence("Suddenly, a shot ran out");
Paragraph paragraph=new Paragraph();
paragraph.addSentence(sentence1);
paragraph.addSentence(sentence2);
Paragraphs paragraphs=new Paragraphs();
paragraphs.addParagraph(paragraph);
Library library= new Library();
library.getBook("My Novel").addChapter("Chapter 1",paragraphs).
Now, lets say you want to have a word count for the entire book.
The book should ask each chapter how many words it contains.
Each chapter should ask its paragraphs, each paragraph should ask
its sentences. The total of words should ripple up and be tallied at each
stage until it reaches the book. The book can then report the total.
Only the sentence object actually counts words. The other objects just tallies the counts.
Now, where would you assign a librarian? What object(s) and functions would you provide?
If written well, the project is easily extensible.

Trying to understand the basics of architecture

Hi there, that's my first post here.
I began working with Oracle SGBD, started using Oracle 11g, then I have installed it on a computer and created sucessufully an user/database, the question is: I don't understand clearly
yet the difference between tablesapce, schema, instance , database/user (is an user a database and vice-versa) and other question is about view, trigger, procedure and profile?
Could you help me on understanding both questions?

I have read some tips now that helped me out too, let me try saying the concepts I've got and being more specific on questioning:
1 - When I created the user, it also meant I've created the database by creating the user, I wanted to say, on Oracle user and database are the same?
Absolutely untrue. Sounds like you are trying to apply SQL Server concepts to Oracle. The very term 'database' means different concepts between the two products.
In oracle, the 'database' is the all-encompassing structure. EVERYTHING else exists inside the database - including users. Go back and
2 - The Oracle's instance is a scope where someone could find the schemas that hierarchically are the databases linked to a tablespace (directory to record data)?The instance is the memory space and processes that operate the database.

3 - Every user/database I generate will use some profile? Every user you created will have a profile. Creating a user is NOT the same as creating a database.

4 - What's the difference between procedure, trigger and view?
What is the difference between a car, a truck, and a duck?
A procedure is a named and stored set of sql and plsql statements, that can be executed on-demand by referencing the name of the procedure.
A trigger is a special kind of procedure, that executes when a defined event occurs.
A view is a pre-defined and name query that can be SELECTed as if it were a table.
hope that's clearer.
Please spend some time actually reading the Concepts Guide, and specifically looking for the answers to your questions. We don't mind answering questions -- that's why we're here -- but we expect you to do some reading and thinking on your own.

Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Understanding the basic feature of the editor

The JDeveloper does edit time code check. It complains for a method like,
public String test() {
return 2; // invalid return
but it does not complain for,
public String test() {
// no return statement
Please someone explain the idea behind this behavior.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amod

Hi,
As I have observed the JDeveloper does some semantics check while coding and displays errors. This check does not involve all the compilation checks.
Ofcourse, in the previous example there was a chance to go back and edit a return. Take another example,
public String test() throws Exception
return "Hello";
throw new Exception("Not approachable");
The JDeveloper editor should display an error. The error is displayed only after the code is complied.
What I understand and suggest is to have JIT compilation and display all the compilation errors as and when the code is saved.

Amod

Understand the basics of wireless photo printing

I've really found the reasons to use wireless printing, at least in the home. I have teenage kids and I've put laptops in their rooms. However, we only need one printer in the home so I've hooked up all the laptops with wireless access to the printer. The printer happens to sit by me in my home office, so it is always nice when I hear the printer start running and the nightly homework assignment comes out.
Wireless photo printing is the ultimate in freedom and flexibility. You can print without the clutter of wires and save money by sharing printers within your household. Explore all the benefits and potential that wireless has to offer.
Mobility - Enjoy the freedom to easily print photos, and whatever else you want, from virtually anywhere in your home. For example, you can print pictures from the den, the kitchen counter, or the kids' room.
No wires - Enjoy clutter-free photo printing with no cords and tangled wires taking up desk space and tethering you to one location.
Shared printing - Save money by sharing one printer between multiple Wi-Fi-enabled PCs or notebooks in your home, rather than having a printer for each computer.
1-2-3 Setup: HP has one of the easiest wireless setups around. Learn more about this simple way to set up your wireless HP Photosmart printer.
Touchscreens: HP Photosmart printers come with an interactive touchscreen that makes wireless setup easier.
In-printer Wireless Setup Wizard: Wireless Setup Wizard software automatically finds your network settings and connects your photo printer to the network.
Wireless combos: Some HP Notebooks and printers now feature wireless capabilities such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, combined into one product.
Print from an iPhone: Wirelessly print photos from your iPhone or iPod touch with the HP iPrint Photo application.
HP has a wide range of wireless printers that are either Bluetooth- enabled, Wi-Fi-enabled, or both.
Some printers, like the HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier, have Bluetooth wireless capabilities.
Other printers, like the HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier are Wi-Fi 802.11-enabled.
And then there are products like the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier which features both wireless technologies.
Of course, all HP wireless printers also allow you to share and print photos from your networked computers using wired methods such as built-in Ethernet connectivity and USB ports.
To compare all HP wireless printers, check out this wireless printer comparison chart.

Was your question answered? Mark it as an Accepted Solution!
See a great post? Give it a Kudos!

I assume you have a wireless router. Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
It sounds like there was a direct connection between the printer and computer (using the network 'hpsetup'?).
You should be able to connect your printer to your wireless router (if you have one). Please advise and I can help.

Poor understanding of the basics..

Not particulary interested in overclocking my system but following a recent BIOS flash which left my processor running at half its normal speed, I am keen to understand the basics- especially FSB clock speed. I`ve an MSI Delta L 440FSB edition board with an athlon 2600+ processor and 2 sticks of 512MB 3200 memory. Interestingly, until recently the memory run in dual channel mode but now doesn`t. Have it in slots 2 & 3. But bit I`m curious about is that in BIOS the CPU clock frequency is at 100MHZ. Which seems very low. Thought chip was supposed to run at 266mhz. At very least manual says CPU figure should be 133 as standard. I known that this number combines with multiplier to reach final clock speed of processor- normally around 2200 mark. But don`t see any mulpiplier bit in settings. Do see FSB spread spectrum which is currently at 0.5. Of course machine currenly at half speed, as has happened before after BIOS flash. Will re-flash tonight and will hopefully run better. Could someone please enlighten me on the subject...

On side note.... When I built my 1st Windows box years ago, I really wasn't into OC'ing either & didn't know anything about it. I found out about doing it while I was prowling forums like these looking for answers to some screwup or other.
But learning about it & pulling it off successfully gave me a greater understanding about how & why things work in a PC.... not to mention that I've never had to drop off a system to the local PC (Rip-Off) shop.
It's never been the same deal since Now I'm compelled to tinker with everything that crosses my path!

I'm trying to understand the difference between Photoshop Elements and Lightroom software.

Does one have things the other does not?

Hi,
Lightroom is to manage photos and produce derivative images without ever modifying an original file. Its processing functionality has a narrow feature-set covering the most common needs of professional photographers whereas Elements is a simpler yet powerful photo manipulation tool. Elements is designed to satisfy the needs of photo enthusiasts who like to manipulate images.
You can also go through the thread to understand the basic difference between PSE and Lightroom.

Quesion about the Basic concept of RMAN incremental backup

I have a problem in understanding the basic concept of two types RMAN Incremental backup ie. Differential and Cumulative. I just don't understand how cumulative incremental backup consumes more space than Differential backup.
Have a look at the scenario in which Differential backup is used.
1. On Sunday midnight, a LEVEL0 backup is taken.
2. On Monday midnight all the blocks that was changed since Sunday midnight are stored in the backup media (tape or disk)
3. On Tuesday midnight all the blocks that was changed since monday midnight are stored in the backup media.
4. On Wednesday midnight, all the blocks that was changed since tuesday midnight are stored in the backup media.
At this point, in the backup media, you have all the changed blocks from sunday midnight to wednesday midnight eventhough it was stored in a daily basis. If you had taken a cumulative backup at wednesday midnight the backup media would have contained the same changed blocks from sunday midnight(LEVEL0) to wednesday midnight, but all at one go instead of daily basis. I don't understand how cumulative backup consumes more space when the backup media contains the same amount of changed blocks as it were in the case of the Differential backup.

Considering the Scenario you given:
Sunday : Level 0 backup.
Monday : You have taken an incremental backup then there will not be any difference in size of backup set for differential or cumulative as the changes from last Level0 backup are considered.
Tuesday : A cumulative backup (n-1) will have changed blocks since Sunday's Level0 backup but a differential backup(n) will only have changed blocks since Monday. So definitely there will be more space consumed by cumulative backups compared to differentials.
Hope it helps ...

I've Learnt the Basics, But Now What?

Hey,
I've been teaching myself java from various books over the past few months, thought i have been told many times this is not the best way to learn, i gave it a go and I can understand the basics: data types, class types, the idea of object oriented programming and some core java classes, but I'm still very sceptical about how to actually start writing programs. I never know where to start. It's as though I know the theory, but I'm unable to put it into practise. If anyone had any good proctise programs I could attempt to write, maybe that would help?
I've written a few very simple programs which contain 3 or 4 classes, but when I look at much larger programs with 50+ classes and folder structures, I wonder how did he know exactly what classes he would need to make the application work? And which class did he write first? This is where I get stuck in application development :\
I wonder if it's that i don't yet know enough core classes to use in my applications to make them work, or if there is a standard way to plan applications. When I attempt to write a larger application, it gets very messy, and debugging can be almost impossible.
So I want to write a program which is able to enter values into forms on the internet and scape data from the page where the form submits too, what classes would I need to write, and what methods would I need, and which core classes would I use? I am sorry if this question seems a bit vague, but I'm really stuck at the moment :\

If anyone had any good proctise programs I could attempt to write, maybe that would help?Congratulations -- I don't know why teaching yourself from books is a bad way to learn. The biggest thing you'd probably be missing now are things that come up in practice:
a) Effective design (what you're asking about)
b) Clean, maintainable code
c) Formatting/documentation conventions
In all cases, I think the best way to learn is to dive in. You may want to try to find an open source project that needs some help -- even if you're just learning, there are projects where the developers are working on new features and don't have the time to dig to find a minor bug, which may be simple. If you can find that bug, your work will be highly appreciated.
At the same time, that'll give you an idea of what standard coding conventions are. (Assuming you find a project which was written by people who follow the conventions.) Follow those, and make sure you document your own code. Format it the same way they format theirs. Someone might make a comment about your contribution -- take it as a learning experience, not an attack, and compare what they did to your own solution. If you're confused about the difference, ask them to explain why they prefer their way. It may be that it's a more robust solution, or it may just be that it's the accepted convention. Both are equally valid.
My own experience learning that kind of thing was a combination of working on projects with other people and using some nice Eclipse plug-ins, like Checkstyle, FindBugs and PMD. A lot of times the suggestions they give may go over your head -- for a while, I would get pieces of my code flagged and I would have to do research into why, but once I understood what it was saying, I was able to write better code. Just keep in mind that those tools are often very strict, and may flag almost everything you write -- again, don't worry so much, and just use it as a learning experience.
I've written a few very simple programs which contain 3 or 4 classes, but when I look at much larger programs with 50+ classes and folder structures, I wonder how did he know exactly what classes he would need to make the application work? And which class did he write first? This is where I get stuck in application development :\Experience. ;)
Realistically, it depends on what kind of learner you are. You say you learned by reading books and taught yourself. You might find it useful to go through the API and just look at what's available. Don't try to memorize everything, or even go too deep into what the methods of each class are. Read the package documentation and see if you can see what the differences between the classes are. Many of them may seem useless. Don't worry about it. If you can think of where something might be used, great. If not, you may remember that it exists when you do. You may find it easier to grab a copy of Java in a Nutshell, which is pretty much just the API in book form.
Make sure you understand the basic data structures and when you would use each one. Those are (unless I'm forgetting any): List, Set, Map, Queue. There's also more complex ones like Tree that don't have direct Java representations.
Once you've gotten to the point where you can write classes that are relatively clean and just keep running into the same awkward constructs, read up on Design Patterns. These are well-known patterns of solutions that make your design easier, but I'd suggest you have some experience running into the problems they solve first. ;)
I wonder if it's that i don't yet know enough core classes to use in my applications to make them work, or if there is a standard way to plan applications. When I attempt to write a larger application, it gets very messy, and debugging can be almost impossible. There are, ranging from some basic tips to full-on strict methodologies. You may have learned Java as just a programming language. One of its strengths is that it tends to force (or at least make it much simpler) to design using good object-oriented techniques. Read up on designing classes in an object-oriented way, and start thinking of your application as a machine with parts that work together.
So I want to write a program which is able to enter values into forms on the internet and scape data from the page where the form submits too, what classes would I need to write, and what methods would I need, and which core classes would I use? I am sorry if this question seems a bit vague, but I'm really stuck at the moment :\Here, you seem to be talking about the Java Servlet model. Depending on how deep you want to get (for example, I like to start at the bottom and use external libraries only once I understand the basics), you could either read up on JSPs or just start with something like Spring.
And of course, you can post here if you have specific questions. If you come to the forums with what you've designed so far and feel like you're stuck, the people here can help guide you in the right direction even if they don't outright give you a solution. ;)
Hope this helps!

Understanding the way to connect a MDD to BlackMagic Decklink Extreme card

Hi,
I require some help in the following:
I recently bought myself a Blackmagic DeckLink Extreme™ with 10bit SDI/analog video and audio capture card.
Looking at the specs, http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/sd/specs/, can someone give me directions as to the best setup I can do from the following sources and what other equipment I may require to achieve it.
- mono stereo audio VHS -> has 1 video/audio in and 1 video/audio out (composite connections)
- stereo audio video camera -> has 1 8 pin S-Video out port to composite connections (Hi8 tape type)
- DVD player -> has composite 2 x 2ch stereo audio out, 1 x 5.1ch stereo audio out, 2 x video out, 1x component video out, 2 x S-video out, 2 x digital audio out; 1 x RCA/OPT
- 2 x 23" monitors connected by ADC and DVI connections to a Apple MDD G4, may relay to 60" Plasma for video monitoring from video card prior to creating DVD final piece for playback.
Basically, I wanted to have multiple source inputs and outputs, but I'm having difficulty in understanding the setup. Please refer to http://www.blackmagic-design.com/downloads/connections/decklinkdiagram.pdf page 5/6.

<pre>
From Decklink -- Y IN (from deck) --> DVD Y port

I want to buy a hard disk (not a NAS device) and plug it into my Airport Extreme in order to share data between two Mac computers, and to stream iTunes content to my Apple TV.
One option is to purchase a hard drive (say, a 2TB Hitachi G-Technology drive) and connect it to the USB port on the back of the Apple Extreme. The other option is to purchase a drive with an ethernet connection (say, a 2TB Lacie drive) and connect it to an ethernet port on the Apple Extreme.
In the second case what you'd have actually is a NAS. Apple's AirPort routers aren't known for fast file sharing. The NAS option might be faster.
Is either option better for streaming movies from the hard drive to my Apple TV?
I could be wrong, but an AppleTV may not be able to access content directly from a network drive. It may require that a Mac serve as an intermediary.

How to use column with linkToItem in the Basic Table view style mode

Hi
I have already changed a normal column that I made to a column with linkToItem as follows.
<viewfields>
<FieldRef Name="MyColumn" linkToItem="TRUE">
and it worked.
But this column works only at the default view style mode in my case.
Does anyone know how to use linkedToItem column in the Basic Table mode?
hope someone help me.
thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use linkToItem in the Basic Table view style.
Per my test, in the Default style view, we need to use linkToItem=”TRUE”. However, in Basic Table style view, we need to use LinkToItem=”TRUE” instead.
Best regards.
Thanks

Hello,
I completed my BE in Mechanical in 2012 and have some some experience of 2 years in mechanical field. Now i planned to switch my career into SAP MM. I am doing a classroom course on SAP MM.
So please suggest me the basic knowledge required ( Like topics) for a fresher to get through an interview.

Hi Kumar,
I will give just hints rest you have to think and act not about Interview quotations but SAP MM career.
There are couple of guys and all of them has got job, first as a SAP testing, as SAP freshers in HCL/HP India etc.
Later on they have learnt all the business process in project and all the E2E cycles in MM/SD/FICO etc.
Now they are working on support projects and roll out projects.
I think there are ways and we need to understand how to explore all the job possibilities.
Please have good knowledge and definitely you will succeed. Short cuts are not always the way to success.
Hope all my fresher friends will find some clue here....

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?
