Website novice needs help!

hi all
ive just created a simple few pages in iweb and tried to upload them to my via a free bit of software called 'classic ftp'
the first problem is i uploaded the wrong thing the first time and now it wont let me delete it from the web.. then i tried uploading the right thing but it doesnt work quite right (the font is totally different and the pages are spaced out all wrong) so i now i just want to delete everything from my webspace and start over but i cant seem to delete anything!
the only options seems to be by deleting each individual file and that would take hours and hours!
is there a way to just wipe everything fro my webspace and start over?

is there a way to just wipe everything fro my webspace and start over?
Try another ftp app like the free cyberduck. Also try just asking your host to do it.

Complete novice needs help

Hi folks
I hope you can indulge me. I am a mature student studying with the Open University in the UK. In order to complete my degree I have to produce a (small) project (doesn't have to have full functionality) based on a Network application. I am limited to using Java and to some extent the software provided for me, which in this case is JBuilder3.5 (yes I know it's old!). I can, within reason download further software providing my tutor is ok with it but here's the rub I have no idea what I actually need. There is so much to read through and I am feeling a bit thick because I cannot pin anything down.
This is where I would appreciate any help from you experts. My project subject is a browser which can interpret web pages and then configure them to be displayed in a fromat that is prefered by the user not the author. I can build the GUI but I am stuck when it comes to building the functionality behind it. ie what packages do I need to download that can recognise XML/HTML tags in order to rearrange the display? Am I even on the right track? Is it actaully possible?
Because the project is only worked over a small period I don't need full functionality but have elected to deal with input/output fields, text placemnt/display/font (infromationl), graphic placement/deletion. I may also be alowed to update my version of Jbuilder.
I would be so grateful if somebody could at least point me in the right direction. I need to add here that I feel so stupid that I need replies in very plain english :o)

Hi ddossot
Saw your note about using a proper IDE unfortunately I am obliged to use the one provided by my UNI. Reason being the markers of my project may not be up to date with other IDE's. Though I may be allowed to use a newer version of JBuilder. I am waiting to hear if I have permission to do so.
Here's another thick question. from what I remember, when studying Java last year, it has a number of libraries that can be imported to a project. When I download the HTML and XML stuff are they just added to the libraries already in place and if so how is it done.
ps hope they also have tutorials with them for the coding :o(
One last question; am I in the right forum for this sort of query or is there a novice one for thicko's like me? :o)

Network Expansion - Novice Needs Help

I would appreciate some guidance with a change I need to make to my wireless network. What I currently have is working fine, but I'm pretty much a novice at this.
My current network consists of two computers. Computer A is a desktop connected to a WRT54G2 wireless router via patchcord. This is my primary computer, used to create the network using the CD that came with the router. Computer B is a laptop that connects to the the network with a WPC54G wireless notebook adaptor. Both computers run Windows XP, and the network is working well. The network uses WEP security.
I am ready to add Computer C to the network. Computer C is a desktop and will become my primary computer. Computer C is also running Win XP. I want to connect it via patchcord to the WRT54G2 router, replacing computer A. I have purchased a WUSB54GC USB adaptor to connect computer A to the wireless network.
I'm not sure where to begin. Do I need to first uninstall any Linksys software from both computers A & B, in order to start all over? Can I just unplug computer A from the router, plug in computer C, and keep going? Any suggestions on how to approach this change without too much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is no need to to uninstall the software of router from any computer.
You need to connect the computer C to router with a chord and on Computer A connect the adapter and install the set-up disk for it.

FCP Novice needs help with video quality and FCP 5!!

Hi,
I have a real problme that I cannot seem to fix. I think its because I am doing something really wrong!
I have a Sony HC42E MiniDV Camcorder which by default records video in full widescreen. I recorded several tapes this way and have now begun trying to edit them in FCP 5.04 (Tiger 10.4.6). Whenever I log and capture my clips they appear to be fuzzzy and unclear on the Mac monitor whilst being totally crisp and sharp on the camcorder viewfinder. I tried capturing using the DV PAL 48Khz Anamorphic Preset which keeps everything the right size (the final output needs to be true widescreen and not with black bars added) but the resulting video on screen is blurry and bitty. I then tried capturing using the DV PAL 720 x 576 normal preset and the video is a little clearer on the screen (for both presets I have chosen lower field dominance) but when I play back it plays back in widescreen on the mac canvas window but at 4:3 on the camera's viewfinder.
I then assumed that maybe this is just becuase the mac screen (CRT by the way) doesn't use fields. So I exported the sequence as a QT movie using DV PAL 16:9 and used quicktime (OS9 Classic - my compressor has never worked because of the dreaded "unable to connect to baackground process" problem which I've never managed to correct) to convert it to MPEG2. When I import this as an asset into DVD Studio pro 4 and set the track size to 16:9 it comes through at the right aspect ratio. However it looks blurry on screen. Thinking that this will be fine on a TV I burned the disc - inserted it into my DVD player (a good one!) and watched it on my new 32" widescreen TV (a good one!) and the picture qualitty is poor. Its so much blurrier and bittier than the original footage looks when played through the camcorder's viewfinder!
The final footaage looks like an old VHS recording that's a year or two old!
Does anyone know how I can capture my footage in FCP with the maximum quality, edit it without quality loss and the export it for DVD again without such significant quality loss whilst all the time keeping it at proper 16:9 widescreen?
Is there some presets I should be working to?
I'm tearing my hair out! Help!

Hi Guys,
thanx for your replies.
here's the latest:
Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.

Novice needs help: inconsistent recording volume ("flutter")?

Hello All,
I'm new to Audition and have been struggling with my recording quality: I'm on a newer dual core Toshiba Qosimio multimedia laptop running Win 7 (64bit) and using a standard desk mic. I read the faq and help files on recording but still remain baffled about this. I'd greatly appreciate some help:
When recording music in Audition (for example: one strum of a guitar chord), I get a kind of fluttering: I don't hear the whole continous chord's sound. There are subtle 'dropouts' of the sound (like it has inconsistent volume). Now, I'm new at this so I'm probably not using the correct terminology..so I posted a wav file to let you hear:
http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/trash/InconsistentAudio1.wav
When using this same mic in my older PIV laptop running Win XP, the record quality is fine. Also, when I downloaded Audacity (free audio program) I think I hear the same fluttering..so maybe there is some way I need to set the recording (input) preferences on this machine.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Ah, I had a recent laptop with Connexant Smart Audio, but recently replaced it.
There is a separate Smart Audio Control Panel that I think is accessible elswhere from the Windows Control Panel. I found it almost totally incomprehensible, but seem to remember that there was a way of switching between two options, one simpler than the other.
I would also go into the advanced playback settings to see if there are "enhancements" there. Some of these may affect recording.
As I said before, the only approach with all of this is to find all the various audio contol panels, switch off any effects or enhancements and set all the default sample rates for record and playback to the rate you will be using. Note that the various audio control panels may or may not stay in sync, so it's as well to go round the loop(s) a few times. Do check there is nothing hidden in the "enhancements" area by making sure you scroll down all the options if there are more than just one or two. Note that the Windows audio Control Panel has to be closed and re-opened before you can trust what it says.
None of this is the fault of Audition, which just records what is fed to it. It is the fault of Microsoft that there is a broken sample rate converter in Windows 7 and whoever designed the Connexant audio gui does need to be re-educated, I think.
It would, of course, be very sensible to seek out an external decent usb or similar audio interface.

Novice needs help with multi-cam

Hi, I've got 3 cameras and a seperate audio track synched in my timeline. (CC Premiere Pro 6 on a PC with - unfortunately, Windows 8) The cameras didn't all start at the same time but no problem the clips are where they need to be now. I've made several edits getting rid of stuff I don't need, and I've added a title, end note, and a few stills. All the tutorials I've watched deal with starting clips at the beginning but I can't seem to find one that shows what to do with a bunch of things already in the timeline where they need to be. Here's a screen shot if that helps to explain what I've done so far.I've tried nesting the clips and dragging that into the source panel, but no luck. Obviously, I'm missing something here (this is my very first project) hope someone can help.

Yes, what Jim said...
or if you really want to leave all your little stills and titles there and not have to add them later then alt+select all the video clips only and right click>nest. You can select all the audio clips too but I usually leave them there so I can see them all individually (personal preference) and I never have audio follow video in my edits so it's not necessary. Then right click>Multicam>Enable and proceed with #3 from Jim's list. I actually prefer to ignore the wrench and add that one touch little multicam toggle icon to the program monitor which it appears you've already done so you just need to select the far right icon on the bottom of your program window next to the little camera icon. That's the multicam toggle. Multicam cutting now takes place in the Program Window instead of the Source Window like it was in CS6. Oh also, the little "tweaks" that Jim mentioned can be easily done with the Rolling Edit Tool (Shortcut: N) You'll see. Good luck!

T500 overheating problems - Novice needs help

Like for some others in this forum, my Thinkpad T500 is overheating.
Here are my specs:
Model: T500 (Type: 2055)
Processor: P8600 (2.40GHz)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
When I'm doing most regular activities (browsing,emailing, documents), laptop is fine. The unit gets warm underneath, but I've not had problems.
If I'm doing more intensive activities (watching local video,Netflix, or Skyping), laptop starts to heat up enough so that it's uncomfortable on my lap.
When I play games (Nothing crazy intensive: e.g. Minecraft, Civilization 4), and sometimes when I Skype, the unit gets extremely hot underneath and shuts off without warning.
The heat seems to be originating from the left-hand side of the laptop, near the back. Unless I'm mistaken, this is where the GPU is located. And this makes sense, since the overheating seems to be related to graphics-intensive activities.
So, my questions are:
1. How can I diagnose this problem further? What's a good utility to use to monitor heat of GPU and CPU? Anything else I can use ?
2. Are there any settings I can change on my laptop to prevent the automatic shut-downs and excessive heat?
3. I've seen some mention of people cleaning fans, replacing fans / cooling units, or adding thermal paste. Need some advice there too.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!

Good day and welcome to the community.
If you've never had the machine open to blow out dust from around the fan/heatsink assembly, I'd recommend that first. If you download a copy of your Hardware Manual: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/43y6630_04.pdf , you'll see that by pulling the palmrest, keyboard and keyboard bezel (manual pages 88-90, 92-93 and 102-103, respectively), that you'll expose the top side of the assembly in the upper left. The top view image on page 107 is helpful. The CPU is beneath the end section of the wider heatpipe and the GPU is beneath the narrower.
While holding the blades of the fan stationary (important!), you can use canned air to blow all of the dust from the inside out through the exhaust vents. Once done, button everything up and see if things run cooler. If you're still overheating, you may need to clean off the old thermal compound and apply new, but try the de-dusting first.
Regarding temp monitoring, many folks like TPFanControl: http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html
Scroll about 2/3 down the page for the download link for v0.62 which is the latest. It can be run in monitor-only mode or can be configured to provide a level of control over your fan speed.
Please post back your results from the first step and we can go from there.
Regards.

PSE7, Novice needs help w/background

I would like to take Grandpa's hairy knee out of our new granddaughter's face. I've tried selecting her image and used a feather of 2 pixels. I then used a blank background with different effects, clouds, etc. It's not working because it is too stark and not natural looking. Is there a way I can make it look as though she is resting her head on a soft blanket? If so, PLEASE give me details as to how to obtain that result. I am trying to learn and need specifics.
I'd also like to learn how to "soften" her image and change it to B/W....so much to learn, so little time. Thanks!!

Hi Mark, here come the questions, so elementary it's embarrassing. I found an image of a blanket from a picture I took earlier:
I assume I bring this image into PSE and make a selection with the selection brush.
2) You then said to "copy this selection to the clipboard". What is the clipboard, and how do I copy it there? I have four books on PSE and couldn't find the "clipboard"
3) Next, open my picture and paste the blanket from the clipboard, creating a new layer. Again, can you give me the specifics?
I know I can use your image, but I really want to learn how to do this by myself. And, i want the image in high resolution. Your help is appreciated!

VBScript Novice needs help

I am a novice at VBscript..I have been assigned to send email of file(s) as a notice in the subject field from multiple folders. I am lost as to how can this be done..Any help would be much appreciated...thanks

First it is not possible to understand what you are asking. Please read your question and try to understand why it is too vague.
To learn how to use VBScript you can start here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd772284
If you have no scripting exerience I suggest using PowerShell as it is easier for beginners. VBScript does not have a mail command and PowerShell does.
Send-MailMessage -to xxxx -from xxxx -subject 'my subject' -body 'here is my message'
Do you see how easy it is?
You can also look here for pre-written scripts:

Novice needs help installing new hard drive

I have a macbook and purchased a new hard drive after my current hard drive failed. I can remove the battery, unscrew the 3 screws, install the new hd. What are the steps that follow to bring my machine up to being back to normal? Let's approach this with "color by numbers" type instruction. Thanks

Bama--
You score points for guts. Novice changing HDD is not one I see often. You also lose points for not getting directions first before starting. (I work in education, and thus grade a lot of work and exams.)
As this is an open book/open note exam for you, best you look here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/MacBook13inch_HardDriveDIY.pdf. If this is not your MacBook, then we'll need just a bit more info to steer you in the right direction.
There is no time limit on this exam.
Best of luck--

Novice needs help, please

I recently moved from outside Chicago to Davenport, Iowa. Have mediacom as high speed internet company. I-book not used for at least a month so power seems depleted; how long to recharge? Or will I need to replace battery? Further, I had wireless network in Chicago, can't seem to get it to fly here by connecting ethernet from cable's modem to <---> on back of airport extreme and other port WAN to broken circle on back of airport extreme. (used to have separate vonage modem in Chicago, but phone is part of VOIP cable modem in Davenport.) Any help? I'm rather lost. Thanks in advance.

Full battery recharge may take at least 8 hours to overnight.
Your wireless problem is due to the fact that you have two routers vying for control. The VoIP telephone is one and the AEBS is the other. If you have a separate cable modem then connect it directly to the WAN port on the AEBS. Connect the telephone combo to a LAN port on the AEBS. You can also configure the telephone router to turn off DHCP functions. This will allow the AEBS to handle all the routing.
After you get the network connected properly and the computer's Network preferences configured properly shut everything off. Wait at least one minute. Then first turn on the cable modem and wait for the status lights to indicate communication with the ISP. Then turn on the AEBS and wait for it to indicate communication with the cable modem. Turn on the telephone. It may take up to five minutes until the phone starts to function. Last, turn on the computer.

Novice needs help regarding JSR-82

Hi,
i am a student and embarking on a project on Bluetooth. This is my first involvement with the technology.
i wish to work on WindowsXP and use JSR-82.
I have tried reading the JSR spec and i have a question regarding that.
Do the APIs directly work on the stack provided in WindowsXP SP2? Or do i need to download other stacks like Blue Cove or Bluez etc.
Any kind of help/pointers will be appreciated.
Thank-you.
Regards,
pat_trojan.

Hi.
If I'm not wrong you must have an implementation of JSR82 API specific for your stack.
I have used API of atinav ( www.atinav.com ) that are 15 days trial.
You can find another implementation at http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/jsr82.xml
I hope this will be usefull.

Serial number not recognized by Apple website. Need help to get a charger replaced.

I have a MacBook Pro (Build13A603) that recently started having trouble charging. It looks like there is a short in my power adapter. I purchased it from a Best Buy, and my extended warranty from there has already run out. I do not have Apple Care. I know sometimes Apple is able and/or willing to help out in these types of situations, but I have been trying to contact Apple Care, and when I try to provide my serial number the website does not recognize it. I have used the one from 'About This Mac' as well as the one laser etched on the bottom of my computer. Any other ideas how I may be able to get in touch with them to see if they just might replace the charger for me? The closest store to me is over 60 minutes away so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Have you tried to verify your MBP serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Check it in System Information>Hardware Overview.
You MBP requires an 85w charger. OWC sells them for less than Apple:

Novice needing help PSD vs JPEG

I am changing from PSE8 to PSE12 and realized upon trying 12 today that PSE12 automatically saves my edited pictures in PSD format where PSE8 saved them in JPEG. I don't use the organizer for catalogs, instead opening up folders where I've saved my pictures (e.g. Christmas 2013)and editing the photos I like in PSE8 and then saving them back in that same folder. It may not be the 'right' way, but it works for me. The picture I tried using PSE12 on, saved in the PSD format which isn't viewable in those folders (windows picture viewer is the default). I truly only use PSE for improving pics I like and want to share/email, use as my desktip background, post to Facebook, and print for myself or gifts via uploading to a photo printing service (Mpix, Walmart, etc.) Is there a way to have PSE12 default to saving as JPEG or should I be saving everything as PSD? I get that PSD only works with PS and takes more space, but doesn't cause loss of quality of the pictures the way JPEG does ~ I'm just not sure it's important for the way I use PSE. Help for a novice?

Saving a PSD as well as a JPEG is really a good habit to get into. Just in case you don't like how the picture looks once its saved, you can go back into photoshop by loading up the PSD and edit any sliders or layers or whatever, where as when you save to a jpeg all of the layer info gets lost as it essentially "flattens" the layers into one picture. If that makes any sense.
The way I do it is I have a folder that contains my PSD's and then my JPEG's saved into the folder where you would be looking at the pictures. For example, in your My Pictures folder I would have a folder called PSDs and a folder called Christmas 2013.
Hope that makes sense

Complete novice needs help getting SQL Query into Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: MissMarnie
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
So I was given an intro level web course and a monster reference guide in prep to format a report. One of our developers wrote me everything I need for the report into a SQL Query and now I'm supposed to format it in CR XII literally do not know what to do from here. I'm able to set up the correct server as a datasource, if that's useful, but I don't know how to make the querey into a bunch of formattable fields in CR. If anyone can walk me through this, I'd be so grateful. I've attempted to look up SQL query in both the help and the book but I keep hitting a wall. The help dialog says things like "press this button" with no reference to what "this button" is. I'm sure it's obvious to the knowledgeable but I'm in a complete fog. Thanks in advance

Post Author: synapsevampire
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
IF you're trying to get assistance with setting up a query as the source for a report, try posting your Crystal version and the database type.
Different software works differently.
In CR 9 and above, under the connection to the database you'll see Add Command. Select that and you can paste the query in.
As for not knowing how to generate a report, that requires experience, there's no generic solution of course..
