Using own domain - newbie needs help!

I've never created a webpage before, so bear with me! I've started one in iWeb and purchased my own domain from GoDaddy.com. I changed the CNAME per the directions of iWeb/me.com. However, my page is not being published under the personal domain name I purchased. The domain name is showing up on me.com under my webpages. I've "Published All to .Mac" and when it asks me to go to my site after it's published, I get the generic GoDaddy parked site for my personal domain. What else do I need to do to get this working? Sorry to be so ignorant, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

What you need to do to set-up CNAME is to firstly enter your domain name into the personal domain name option of MobileMe. If you look, you will see that www is already there, so you don't need to enter this, just yourdomainname.com or whatever and then confirm it in the second box and click on done and it will be set.
You then need to go to your control panel settings at GoDaddy, where you got your domain name from. What you need is the DNS settings and your domain name should already show there. All are slightly different, but what you then need to do is enter www, then pick CNAME from a drop down menu or complete it and then either web.mac.com or web.me.com to redirect your domain name. This then means that you domain name will be forwarded to your iWeb site at web.mac.com.
If you want a simpler way to do it, you can just use web forwarding instead, which means that you don't need to complete the personal domain in your MobileMe account. All you need do is go to the web forwarding section of your control panel at GoDaddy and enter your domain name and then forward it to web.mac.com/username/sitename or web.me.com/username/sitename.
Remember that for CNAME forwarding you always forward to web.mac.com and for just forwarding you would enter web.mac.com/username/sitename.
CNAME forwarding can take up to 24 hours to take effect, so you could have a wait, although most hosting companies are a lot quicker than this.

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
Now I know there is a difference.
But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
Sincerely
Peter

OK...I figured it out...no need to reply. I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks. I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop? I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB. Same error message "..is busy".

Using own domain name , duplication of web address HELP !!

Hi all,
Although this is not a big problem it is quite annoying. I am currently building website within Iweb 09. I have managed to set up my own domain name with no problems at all. The only thing is I get a duplication of my website name on the browser here it is :
*http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk/topviewweddings/Home.html*
I would ideally like to just have *http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk*
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this ??
cheers
T

One way would be to use standard domain name forwarding (not CNAME) and enable masking. That would put http://www.topviewweddings.co.uk in the URL window of ALL your pages. The downside to that is visitors can only bookmark your first page which may or may not be a problem. My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info , is set up that way.

Newbie needs help comprehending CSS Password Manager functions

Hello All:
I own a TP W500 4062-27U running Windows 7 Ultimate. The computer is trouble-free.
I am seeking a solution to the following need: An application that will securely remember my passwords for various websites, etc. and enable me to log in using the fingerprint reader or similar.
I am aware that Lenovo provides both Fingerprint Reader software and Client Security Solution software, but I don't know whether or not either one (or both) of these applications will provide the functionality I am seeking. I have spent a fair bit of time looking around the Lenovo website, but cannot find a document that describes (in a general, overview manner) the functionality that CSS provides.
I don't need to log into VPNs, or company networks, or anything really fancy like that - I just need something that will enable me to log into about 20 different websites, using a different password for each website. Right now, I'm generally using the same password for every website (that way, I can remember what it is), and as I think you will agree, that is probably not a very good practice so far as security is concerned.
If anyone could point me towards a document that explains how I can get CSS to do what I want it to do, I would be very grateful. If CSS does not have the functionality I am seeking, I would very much appreciate a recommendation of software - possibly non-Lenovo - that does provide the functionality I am seeking.
Thanks very much for your assistance.
Michael

Hi PanEuropean2,
Welcome to Lenovo Forum!
In regard to your question, Client Security Solution (CSS) should be the right fit for you.
I have a T410 with Win 7, and have several passwords to remember which is really killing me. However, by using CSS, Fingerprint software and Password Manager, I need to enter all the passwords only once when access a website or a tool, and let it saved in CSS.
The next time i turn on the machine and open up a website which needs user ID and password, I just need to swipe the fingerprint that I've enrolled, then viola!
Just take note that after the first swipe of fingerprint, tools or website that are to be accessed later will automatically show the password in the box directly without having to swipe fingerprint again. You just need to click to log in. I"m not sure if this is the experience you're looking for, however, no harm to give it a try.
Here's the user guide for CSS. It has
Client Security Solution components
Client Security Solution installation considerations

Hope this helps

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

Problem when using own domain name

Hi,
I recently updated my site and gave it a fresher look. I have my own damian name and use iweb and mobileme to host it. the site works fine but the one problem i have is that no matter what page I view of my site it always says my web address in the address bar. For example my site is thecarpetfitter.co.uk. It this site I have 7 pages plus some pages of photos. Now when i'm viewing my about me page the address bar still only says the main site address not thecarpetfitter.co.uk/about me. It does this for all my pages. It's a problem because nobody can bookmark an the actual page they want only the first pages that loads up (welcome page). How can I change this?
cheers

It sounds like you're using Forwarding rather than CNAME to link to MobileMe. See this article for the difference in the browser address bar:

DVD Studio Pro Newbie Needs Help!

I have a presentation deadline approaching and I need help desperately. I created my presentation using Keynote 3 (800*600 slides) and exported it to a Quicktime movie using H.264 compression at 29.97 fps (high quality settings). I then proceeded to use iDVD 6 and imported the Quicktime movie and created a simple menu using the templates provided.
I saved the entire project as a disk image and used the DVD player to check the disk image file. The quality of the DVD disk image file looked nothing like the original Quicktime movie. The images and text looked blurry and unprofessional.
I've spend quite some time on the iDVD and Keynote discussion forums and can't find a solution to my problem. The conclusion I've come is that the mpeg-2 encoder that iDVD 6 uses is problematic.
I don't want to start using DVD Studio Pro but I will in order to preserve the quality of my original Keynote presentation. So here are my questions...thank you in advance for your help guys....I really need it:
- I plan on playing the DVD on a 42" Plasma display at a sales office and also distributing it to potential buyers. Are my Keynote export settings optimal for iDVD use? Should I be using H.264 @ 29.97?
- If I must use DVDSP then what export/compression settings should I use in Keynote to preserve the quality? Keynote doesn't give me an option to use mpeg-2. I have ffmpegX so I can encode different formats...just need to know the correct one.
- Keynote exports separate audio and video files. I combined them using Quicktime. Is it possible to use the combined file in DVDSP or do they need to be separate.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any reading material pertaining to this matter please provide link.

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

You can use a mov file that contains both audio and video. DVD Studio Pro will compress the mov itself. I am not overly familiar with the codec H.264 but either way its a codec that compresses the video, and if I am right that codec is used for compressing video to web based file sizes, which means heavy compression. When I create DVD material I use M2V format which is what DVD SP wants anyways so it cuts time and drive space in half. If you export an mov and import it into DVD SP, DVD SP compresses the file again which is M2V. Now you have two files, with twice the compression time. When creating M2V the only thing that you need o be aware of is the bit rate, which needs to be adjusted pending the duration of the video. Use 29.97 if you are NTSC and full frame rate, which you should be.
If you can not create an M2V file with associated aiff audio file, than export your QT file as uncompressed or as a QT Movie. The file itself will be huge but DVD SP will compress it properly.
I hope this helps

B1 Newbie - Need Help

Hi all,
I'm new to SAP and need to write an app that exchanges data with SAP B1 - Its going to be between a Point of Sale app and SAP
The Problem is that I dont know were to start(with SAP).
Has anyone written a point of sale or similar using SAP?
I Have many questions, here are a few - My app will import data sent from the POS app - the data will be transactions eg Sales,Payments etc... How would I import this into SAP?
What Tables would I use?
All suggestions,advice,help welcome.
Thanks

Avish,
I guess the first question is do you have the SAP Business One SDK and are you a programmer? Integration via the SAP Business One SDK requires programming using Visual Basic, Visual Basic.Net, C++, Java, etc. You can use any program language and development tool(s) that can work with/use COM objects.
If you do not want to use the SAP Business One SDK and create a program to do the integration, the suggestion to use the iBolt product from Magic Software is one solution. Another thought is to use the Data Transfer Workbench (DTW) which is a data integration took that is from SAP. The DTW uses the DI API or the Business Logic Layer, you can import external data into SAP Business One. Using the DTW you can integrate transactions in "batch mode", which also begs the question if you need to do realtime integration or batch.
Hope this helps,
Eddy

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

Newbie Needs Help - Moving to CD

I'm running winXP and have downloaded the latest CS 5.5 version of Dreamweaver - I've created a small series of interlinking web pages with the 'main site' being a folder on my Desktop called Testsite. As far as I'm aware all the relevant pages/documets/images are contaned within my Desktop folder and everything runs from index.html which sits within my testsite folder. Ultimately, I would like to be able put a CD in a drive and automatically launch a browser that would open my home page (i.e. index.html). I need help on all this but I will googe for the auto launch bit - at the moment I would appreciate any advice on burnng my site to a CD. Because I have created the site on my PC I'm assuming all my dreamweaver internals/links are in the form C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\Testsite - so I'm guessing if I just copy my Desktop Testsite folder to a CD and run index.html on another PC my little web site is not going to work. I have googled but keep getting pages about running the actual Dreamweaver applicaton from a CD and installing it on a PC - not the way I want to do it. I'm not interested in moving Dreamweaver to a CD - just the site/pages I have created. Any advice apprecited.

All long as all of your files are linked with relative links (eg: /path/to/file.jpg and not http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.jpg) you should be fine. Auto-starting can be an issue because there are some operating systems that don't auto start discs. So you should maybe include instructions with your disc in case the autorun does not work.

Newbie Needs Help - PreE7 - using text/titles

I'm learning PE7 and I'm having difficulty achieving the results I want with text - I hope someone can help...
I have a 'visual' (screen capture) you can view here in my photoshop gallery here: http://tinyurl.com/ybeu2t9
My Goal: To create a video from still images with occasional, black, blank clips with text in between.
My Problem: Some of my text is 'animated' and I don't want it to be. I can't figure out how to remove the animation nor do I understand why it's happening in the first place.
If you look at my 'visual', you'll see:
item (1) is a clip where I have a still image (repositioned on a black background) with text over it. Both the text and the image are set to fade out to the next still in the video... I'm not quite sure how I managed to achieve this but the results are what I want for this one.
item (2) is a clip where I created a blank and then added text to it. When I play it, the text is static (not animated at all) and this is just the way I want it to be.
item (3) - here I tried to duplicate what I did with item 2 (though with different text), that is, create static text but when I play the video, it is faded in, which I do not want. I noticed that it has a little, double-photo, icon in the corner just as item 1 has so I assume it is the indicator that something is happening here but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove it.
I'll appreciate any help!
Oh, and if it's important to know, I'm using Windows Vista 64.
Lady of the Thorns (aka Rose)

Welcome to the forum.
Thank you for the screen-cap. What I suspect is happening is that you are actually altering an existing Title - one with animation already appled. When you create a Title and drag it to the Timeline, or the Sceneline, you are placing an "instance" of that Tilte only. One can have unlimited instances of the same Title. If you change, say the text in that instance, you are changing it for that Title, so if you have multiple instances, they all will change.
Now, PrE allows one to do a Title Template, and also allows one to create new Styles. To do Titles that will be the same, with only text changes, the Title Template is easy to use, but you need to do multiple ones, changing the text, as is required of each of those multiple Tiltles. They will now appear in the Project Panel as separate Titles. You can then have multiple instances of any of these.
An example would be a Title Template with animation and a Style that you want, that says "Place Text Here." You'd bring that Template into your Project and then change that text to "Meanwhile, back at the ranch," and you want it to crawl across the screen (Animation) Now, you want that particular Title to be used in 4 places in your Timeline. You'd just drag it to the required spots. All would read, "Meanwhile, back at the ranch." All will crawl. If you change the text in one, all will update. That is not what we want. If we want a static Title to read, "Looking down on the ranch," we need to do a new Title for that. We'd not use the Template, but could use the Style that we created and saved, creating a new, static Title with our new text.
On a sidenote, PrPro (PrE's big brother) has a similar Titler. One neat feature on it is a little icon that allows one to do a new Title, but based on the one in the Titler. When chosen, this opens a Title naming dialog box, and then creates a new Title. All attributes will be the same, and initially will have the same text. We change that, and it's in a new Title, so it does not affect any other Titles. This is a big timesaver, and I hope that PrE will add it.
One additional thing to remember is that the PrE Title animations will affect only one line of text. If one wants animation of multiple lines of text, they need to do one Title for each line of text and then add the animation to each separate Title. These would then be placed in separate Video Tracks, one above the other, so it appears as one Title on the Timeline.
Hope that this is your issue, and that I have helped you solve the problem. If not, please tell me where I went wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

Newbie needs help - First time using Premier Pro 5.5.2

I have Premier Pro CS 5.5.2 install on iMac 2011 with Lion 10.7.3. I imported an AVCHD clip from a SDHC card using a usb card reader. The clips were really choppy and pixelated. The clip was shorted in 1920 x 1080 HA. I have been reading from the Adobe site and their Videos. I should have no problem importing AVCHD into Premier Pro. Do I need 3rd party conversion software to convert the clip to Quicktime or what specific settings should I be using? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

With so many features that cannot be disabled, Premiere Pro requires significantly more horsepower than that iMac can deliver. FCP X also requires a decent amount of system horsepower as well. iMovie doesn't require much due to its relative lack of features.
And as I stated a few times, the iMacs are designed for convenience/looks first, low power consumption second, performance third. In fact, although they use desktop CPUs, the 2011 lineup uses mostly reduced-power versions of the i5 and i7 CPUs (in this case, the "S" variant of these CPUs with their lower 65W TDP instead of the normal 95W TDP). And their minuscule interior space meant laptop-class GPUs instead of desktop-class GPUs. In the end, you'd end up with a very large system that performs no faster than a decent laptop (in fact, the laptop HD 6770M is slower than the desktop HD 6770 (which is in reality a tweaked HD 5770) in games). Worse, unless you can find a Thunderbolt external hard drive for that iMac, you're effectively stuck with a single physical hard drive for absolutely everything, especially since both Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 (the other ports available on the iMac) are much, much slower than SATA.
