Your help selecting one and some guidance - please

Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself here.  NOOB here.  I have been in the QA/Business Analyst role for about 10 years, and recently decided to change fields as a Functional SAP either in CRM, BI/BW, or HR , however more towards BI/BW. 
Is there any study material out there where I can read through and get more of a module understanding before I join a course?  So, once I take a course, I can ask more intelligent and module related in-depth questions vs. just basic.
Your guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • U160: Need help finding one and your opinion. Hardware update coming soon?

    I really want to pick up an Ideapad u160 after playing around with a x120e for the last week. But, in the US it is nearly impossible to find one.
    Lenovo does offer the Core i3 version for $750 (a bit over priced in my opinion) from the website, but only in brown. I would love to get a black on with an i5 or i7.
    The only place I could find them was on eBay and that was a refurbished one: http://cgi.ebay.com/LENOVO-Ideapad-U160-12-500GB-4GB-BT-i7-640UM-Ultrathin-/270778848252?pt=Laptops_...
    How are Lenovo's refurbished laptops? And I am guessing the u160 would be a huge bump in performance from the x120e.
    Finally, there has been no talk of a refresh for the u160 line right? I would hate to buy one and then be left with the old modle.
    Thanks!

    You don't want to reset all settings .... You have to totally restore the iPad to factory settings which erases the device. After you restore the iPad, you can sync your content back onto the iPad from your iTunes library.
    Read this to see what I am talking about. This article talks about the iPhone, but it works the same way with an iPad or an iPod Touch.
    http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_recover_your_restrictions_password
    Do you sync with iTunes on a regular basis? If yo don't, you can download past purchases as long as you use the same Apple ID that you originally bought the content with and as long as the content is still available in the stores (iTunes, the App Store or the iBooks Store).
    When you restore the iPad to factory settings, your son's game progress will be lost as well, so keep that in mind. All app data and settings will be erased when you restore as a new device.
    This discussion has some helpful tips on how to save some of the iPad content before you restore as new.

  • How to keep the selection as the old when I select one and click the submit

    maybe it is a HTML problem,but I still ask for help here!
    When I select one option in the form's element-select and submit it ,I want to keep the JSP page as old, but I can't .I also use cookie and bean.The problem is still being.

    store the parameter names and their corresponding values in a variable, say Hashtable. After you do the submit, you can retrieve the values from the hashtable.
    example:
    if you have these parameter names:
    "name", "age"
    then you can do:
    Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
    h.put("name", request.getParameter("name"));
    h.put("age", request.getParameter("age"));Have this hashtable available in your response jsp so you can retrive the old data.

  • New to Mac and to video editing...need some guidance, please

    I've decided to make the switch and ordered a new 3Ghz 24" iMac. I chose a 1TB HD and 4G of RAM.
    I want to do some photo and video editing (nothing professional, simply vacation photos and video). I'll be purchasing an HD camcorder later this year to replace my current one (non-HD). I currently have about 5000 photos and about 50 hours of unedited DV on DV tapes to begin to work with.
    Any suggestions on the following would be much appreciated:
    1. Back-up: Should I use a 1GB Time Capsule or a 1 GB GTECH drive with Time Machine? I should mention that I plan on purchasing a MB or MBP later this year. Can I use a GTech HD as a NAS-like drive for both the iMac and the notebook?
    2. Should I partition the internal HD?
    3. Should I use a 'scratch disk' for video editing? If so, any suggestions for a particular size or model?
    4. Any suggestions for ease of transfer of my data from my PC (photos, iTunes library, mail, IE favorites, etc.)?
    5. Anything else you would suggest for a new Mac user?
    Thanks very much for the help!!!

    Hi there.
    First, a couple of websites to help you on your way (and Welcome to the Mac!)
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    And also
    http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/
    Now, as for your questions, these are just IMHO:
    Backup - get BOTH the capsule and a separate HD. If you can only get one, personally I would get the non-TB disk so that I can drag the video files that I want onto it. the Capsule might backup other stuff (and slowly compared to the straight drive; get a FW 800 drive if you can, if not then FW 400 at least). I also think you meant TB not GB! Just make sure the DISK is from a good vendor (Seagate, Hitachi or Western Digital).
    Partition - Nope; wastes space; you need contiguous space from my experience. Only do that if you really need to run Windows via Boot Camp (not recommended to run Windows at all!)
    Scratch disk is absolutely recommended. Get the largest size one you can afford and separate out this from your backup disk. (Worst case, use a bit of the scratch disk as your backup, but also keep the same work files on your main hard disk so you at least have a physical duplicate somewhere). Yup, hard disks are gonna add up!
    The above websites have some tips on transferring content from PCs; generally you can just burn stuff onto DVD and import them onto the Mac. That's pretty straight forward.
    Suggestions IMHO - forget the Mighty Mouse and get another quality two button mouse. Also consider a Kensington Trackball. Get AppleCare warranty for all your hardware (for peace of mind). Triple check that your camcorder will be supported by iMovie '08. It might not be by Final Cut but at least you can get the files from iMovie into Final Cut. But Final Cut does support quite a lot of them already.
    Introduce 10 other Windows people to the Mac. (This is what we do).
    Cheers!

  • I need some help with AVI and IDX files please.

    Hello there,
    I've just been given a hard drive with a load of media on it that I need to work with in FCP.
    There's a folder with many .AVI clips, and each clip has an accompanying directory file with the extension .IDX
    The format of the AVI files is DV, 720x576, 48kHz.
    For the life of me, I can't get FCP to accept the media. Log and Transfer won't accept them, and if i bring in the AVI files in on their own using File>Import>Files... I get a message saying:
    Media Performance Warning
    It is highly recommended that you either recapture the media or use the Media manager to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multi-stream playback.
    I can click 'OK' for this message and the media will appear in the browser, but If I place one of these AVI files on a new conformed sequence, the audio needs rendering. (Sequence settings correspond to media settings)
    I tried just changing the wrapper from AVI to MOV, thinking I could fool FCP into accepting them, but I get the same rejection.
    I thought the audio and video signals might be muxed, so I tried MPEG Streamclip to sort that out, but even MPEG Streamclip doesn't accept the media, saying : File open error: Can't find video or audio tracks.
    Could anybody advise me on how to get the most out of these media files please?
    Thanks in advance.
    James.

    yes. I tried transcoding in QT, but they still come in with the same audio rendering required. I'm a bit loath to convert them all though, as there are 1400 clips.
    It's not a huge problem, as they do play in FCP, but I'd like to sort out the audio rendering. I don't understand why it needs rendering as the media and sequence audio settings match, and it's not some weird format or anything, it's bog standard 48kHz stereo.

  • Help with search and replace script please

    Hi all
    I've written a javascript which uses various GREP and text find/changes to copy some text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the running head and footers) and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do that. If I was doing a manual find/change (with nothing selected) it would automatically select the first para in the first text box but when I run teh following;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+$";
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo="";
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    it finds all paragraphs and deletes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to delete the first paragraph and then again to delete the other (new first) paragraph. My JS skills are shaky but I'm quite comfortable with GREP. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how I acheive what I want? If I did a for loop surely I'd just be doing the same thing but more than once!
    Much to my surprise the rest of the script is working although it made my brain hurt!
    thanks for any suggestions,
    Iain

    Oooh. After
    myStory=app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem();
    the variable "myStory" won't point to just a single story, but ... to "every story". So that's why the next line removes more than you intended!
    What the "everyItem" thingy internally does is still unclear to me, but that doesn't keep me from using it -- but only when you absolutely, positively want to perform an action on every item
    Now the usual examples say something like
    myStory = app.activeDocument.stories.item(0); // access first story
    but that's No Good. Even if your first story is the one you are targeting today, tomorrow, in a different document, it'll be story #1, or #5, or #255. There is no general rule that states the first story is always the largest one, or something like that.
    If this is going to be used with a document template, the best way to identify the target story is by giving the first text frame a unique label. Otherwise, you'll have to think of something else ... A couple of other strategies:
    1. You are already using GREP to find stuff. If one of those searches is guaranteed to return just text in the one story you are interested in, you can use this.
    2. You mention headers and footers. If your main text is the only one that runs through multiple text frames, you can loop over all stories and check which one runs through than a single text frame.
    3. ... (I'm pretty sure there are some more strategies ...)

  • Help with automator and folder actions please

    Hi all!
    I'd like to attach a folder action to a folder, so that any time i drag something in it, it'll be sent to my mobile phone.
    I just dont get it how to do it.
    Can please someone help? I'm totaly incapable of writing an applescript to do so...
    Best regards,

    Hi!
    So next step...
    I create a folder so and right-click "configure actions" (sorry my
    system is french so the terms are probably different on the US
    system....)
    Automator launches, and I add the push to BT part to my workflow. I save
    it all, and return to the finder.
    I right click on the folder, the script appears as it should.
    I click on the created script, a window opens with the device selection.
    I click OK. and get a message saying that this kind of file (a standard
    .sis file) won't be accpted from my device (a 6680 nokia). I click "try
    anyway", the window of file transfer opens, but I get the error
    "Transfer failed, operation not handled".
    I don't get it. Where did I go wrong?
    Thanx fo your feedback!

  • Firefox keeps asking me what program to use to open file types even though I have selected one and checked "do this for all files of this type" going foward

    I am working in Windows and every time I open an attachment, Firefox asks what program to use to open files of this type. I always select the proper program and then check the box that says use this program for all future files of this type. In spite of that, the program continues to ask for every file. How do I turn off this feature and just have the program remember the correct program to use for each type of file extension?

    Regardless of your download preferences, web servers can trigger a download prompt by sending either the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' or the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. You can check if that's the case by examining the server response headers in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Web_Console Web Console].
    For the latter problem install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if it helps.

  • Laptop randomly switching over to f4 key, monitor switching, auto selects one and locks me out.

    for the past month or so now, my pavilion dv6 special edition notebook has been acting up. itll randomly pop the switch monitor deal onto the screen, automatically pick a monitor option, and then lock me out. This is annoying as it happens multiple times an hour. Sometimes right after each other. I dont know if it is a keyboard issue since sometimes it will keep putting in "g" 's in places and sometimes the back space doesnt work. Sometimes itll keep putting in the same key over and over and over again without me even touching the keyboard and it wont stop until i hit the key that is being put it.
    This is just frustrating since ive only had laptop for 8 months and have formated everything hoping that the problem would stop.
    Any suggestions?

  • Some guidance please

    I have a project to create a personal organiser that will contain contact details.
    I have built a small system that had a contact class containing name, main number, secondary number ,email address and postal address. I then built a collection List class and passed the contacts into this list as objects public void addContact(Contact newContact)One of the requirements of this project is that the contacts are searchable. To be honest I have lost my way in how to build this application. The system has to be able to have contacts added to it when it is live so that rules out using an Array but I am not sure if I can search an ArrayList collection and return the contact details as a String.
    I don't know if I should continue with what I have done, passing contact objects into an ArrayLIst collection or try a different approach
    Any suggestions?

    I have started to implement my classes and add some methods. I have created a ContactList class and a Contact Class.
    I can add contacts into the List and print a list of contacts.
    When I have added instances of my contact class to the object bench , first one called Sam and second one called Rachel. All the contact details change to the same as the last one that was created, so say for example create one called sam, next one called rachel, first one has the same details as the second and so on.
    I have used this code in a previous application of adding students to a lab class and it worked fine so I really am stuck to why this code over writes a created object??

                    contact.print();
