I become crazy !

I've been working on 3 problems many hours and I don't think I'm near a solution. Here are the 3 problems.
1) I created a panel with a titledBorder. The problem is that there is a gray rectangle around the title and I don't want to have this.
2) I want to change completely the color of a combo box, not only the background, but also the scrollBar, and the region surronding the arrows in the comboBox
3) I want to have a Dialog who have a uniform color. I used de following code but it doesn't work:
JDialog dialogErreur = new JDialog(framePrincipal, "ERREUR",true); JPanel panelErreur = new JPanel();
JLabel labelErreur = new JLabel();
labelErreur.setForeground(Color.red);
panelErreur.add(labelErreur,BorderLayout.CENTER);
panelErreur.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,0,0,0));
panelErreur.setOpaque(false);
dialogErreur.getContentPane().add(panelErreur);
dialogErreur.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.white);
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi my savior!
All my problems are now solved! It was only the damned version 1.4.1 of JDK that bugged everything. I switched to 1.4.0 and everything works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your patience, without you I would still be raging...
Here are some duke dollars for you.

  • Dock becomes crazy / Cannot launch or close apps

    Hello,
    I'm having a huge issue.I've just upgraded to OSX 10.7 yesterday.
    I work with Xcode 4.1 (developing iOS apps), Mail & iTunes (latest versions, Skype (5.2), and Dropbox (1.1.35).
    After a 'random' period of time building & debugging apps, i get the following sympthoms:
    - The dock becomes crazy. It won't display the 'running' indicator (the dot below the icon).
    - If i click on any of the apps which was already running, OSX won't display the Application Menu accordingly.
    - I'm unable to launch any other app / close any of those which were already running.
    - If i attempt to type inside a window, *any* window, i'm unable to see anything.
    I've already reinstalled both Lion and Xcode 4.1. The only possible action is to perform a hard reset
    Has anybody seen this behavior ?
    Thanks!!

    I have the exact same problem. I too wish I didn't upgrade. Did they even test this? It happens on both macs. It happens to every app at every day for me.

  • Zen Vision:M 30Gb not connected (!) and I'm becoming crazy

    :Zen Vision:M 30Gb not connected (!) and I'm becoming crazyl Hi,
    I tried for week to do something with the Vision 30Gigs of my son, and I don't no what to do now, maybe open the window and throw the zen..
    No, seriously, he still remains in not connected and in Control Panel, system, device manager, always with the yellow sign blinking and tells that no driver is loaded.
    I'm in XP SP3, removed WinMediaPlayer to install the WMP 9 because the 0 is not compatible with SP3 I think,
    The zen is automatically in Recovery mode when boot, because I have tried all the possible and I have erased the firmware by "reload firmware" but without being connected to the computer,
    I tried the recovery tool, but not connected...
    So, I'm sure that some guru has the solution, and I'm convinced that this zen is not dead!
    Thanks in advance for your precious help.

    Ray
    You're right the Zen is not dead. It needs a firmware to work & it doesn't need to be connected to the computer to erase it. It does however need to be connected to a computer to reload it. First you will need to install WMP0. http://www.filehippo.com/download_wi...edia_player/9/
    You then need to charge the battery When its charged & turned back on you will choose Format>Cleanup. You then connect player to see that Windows can see the device. Once you can see that it is recognized in Device Manager you will Disconnect it from the computer (use rear usb ports)
    You will need to download the firmware file for the player to the desktop & open the file.(do this before you connect the player again)http://support.creative.com/Products...me=MP3+PlayersOn the player before you connect it to the computer that has the firmware file open & ready to go you will choose Reload firmware connect the player to the computer(use rear usb port) choose your language & let it run. (the autoplay window may open DO NOT CLOSE IT)
    The reason it did not work before with WMP9 is that the driver is a part of WMP0.

  • Why mac track pad becomes crazy when iPod nearby becomes fully charged?

    I have a macbook air and an ipod 4g. When the ipod is coming near to 100% charge, my macbook track pad becomes uncontrolable. Can anyone explain to me why. Disconnecting my ipod solves the problem.
    Also why is it that when the ipod is charging, i am not able to use the screen whithout it activating another part of the screen?

    I'll attempt to deal with a couple of your questions...
    I can reduce my MacBook's speed to that of treacle by putting a big-enough
    number into the Dashboard calculator. (For example, try 999,999,999 x
    999,999,999 then press = more than 13 times.) It would be bad enough for
    the calculator to crash, but it instead makes the MacBook need a restart.
    Why would you use the dashboard calculator to figure this out. I don't think there are that many calculators that can figure that out too quickly. There is also a calculator program in the applications folder which might be quicker, but even that would bog down with 999,999,999 to the 14th.
    My iPod nano hasn't seen heavy use and I fitted it with a soft plastic cover ?
    shortly after getting it. Cosmetically it's fine but its performance is
    gradually worsening.
    Sometimes it crackles or the screen freezes or it refuses to play a track all
    the way through. I use it with cheap headphones but they seem to work
    well enough elsewhere (they don't crackle).
    While it *****, I would restore the iPod to the original settings. You might get more answers regarding this in the iPod forum.
    A few days ago I upgraded its RAM from 512 MiB to 2 GiB. Crucial delivered
    promptly and I installed it myself. The new RAM seems to be recognized
    and working, but the built-in keyboard and track-pad stopped working
    immediately afterwards.
    I can't seem to revive them this time. As you can imagine, it's pretty silly
    needing an external keyboard and mouse for a portable computer. I have
    an AppleCare warranty. What should I do?
    Did you try the old Ram to see if the keyboard and trackpad are working with it? Also there is a setting in preferences to ignore the built-in trackpad if there is an external one being used so I would check that as well. Other than that you do have the applecare, so you can always get it checked out for free.

  • I'm becoming crazy!

    Hello.
    I usually don't have problems in logic and I really, really like this program, but :
    I don't know what to do with this annoying problem.
    Almost every time I record my songs in logic (using Yamaha USB Mixer and Yamaha keyboard) I can do it with no problems, but suddenly, when I press on any key, the sound is "D-E-A-D".
    It gets an annoying distortion and kind of delay.
    When I quit Logic, and restart it, everything is fine, but this shi* comes again.
    I hope you can help me.
    Dror

    Come on guys, please help me, I don't know what to do
    Try removing all your preferences. And keep them in a safe place. Then boot Logic and set preference once again - and see if the problem persists. If - so... Make sure all you're software is compat. and deactivate all third party plugs to see if this could be related to a "bad" plug.

  • Recursive setTimeout becomes inactive through JavaScript console

    Hi,
    I'm using setTimeout() recursively in functions which stops working completely as soon as I trigger an alert-box (alert()) from the JavaScript console. Calling alert() from the document's code itself does not have this effect. Refreshing the site F5 or hard refresh Ctrl+F5 reloads the page but doesn't start the timers. The only way to restore the site completely and get setTimeout() to work again is to close and open the tab or browser again. This seems to be a bug, I think. I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 on Win 7 64-bit.
    See example below. The code below keeps displaying the time in the window's title after clicking the button. If you execute "alert('');" from the JavaScript console instead, it stops all setTimeout() functions and does not reactivate them even if you reload the page.
    Edit: Sorry, heres the code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script>
    function init()
    callself();
    function callself()
    var now = new Date();
    document.title = now.toLocaleString();
    setTimeout("callself()", 100);
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="javascript:init();">
    <button onclick="javascript: alert('');">click me</button>
    </body>
    </html>

  • Satellite T130-12G - crazy touchpad

    Hi all,
    My brand new Satellite T130 12G is running well except the touchpad wich becomes crazy after some minutes of usage.... Does anyone has the same problem ???
    I uninstalled the synaptic driver, but still the same after 5 minutes....
    The behaviour is for example as follow : The arrow goes up and down when i go up...
    Cannot go left or right or when working, it is out of control ....
    If anyone can help
    Thanks
    Baloo

    Hi
    Its nice to hear that you could improve the touchpad functionality.
    I found also some tips and tricks which you should try out:
    First of all you should change the touchpad sensitive settings to lower level.
    Go to control panel -> mouse and set all adjustments for the touchpad to a a less sensitive level.
    You should also click right Synaptics Pointing Device (in taskbar) and look in middle of page for Double Click Speed. Move the slider to halfway on the range. This should help you too.
    Last but not leas you have to disable pinch zoom.
    Go to the Synaptics Pointing Device icon in the lower right hand corner, click on "Pointing Device Properties", click on "Device Settings" tab and then settings button.
    Under "Pinch Zoom" uncheck "Enable Pinch Zoom".

  • I can't sync my ipad3 with iTunes.

    it works until the last phase and iTunes stops trying to transfer from iTunes to iPad. I have to force to quit Itunes and plug iPad again etc...
    So i re-install iTunes, no change.
    I have the latest Mac Os Version and ios 6 on my ipad
    It's perfectly working with my iPhone 5.0 .
    So i tried to restore my iPad but same thing happened : iTunes stop in the middle of the restore
    so I desactivate my firewall, shut down my internet box, my switch...
    it was still not working
    so i went on an old PC (shame) and i was able to restore my iPad but i can still not synchronise it with my imac
    it took me like 10 hours to be able to synchronise something like 100 songs (pluging in my ipad, 1 song synchronise, itunes stop, shuting down itunes, unplugging my ipad, plugging in again, 2 songs synchronise....
    i feel like becoming crazy
    can someone help ??

    I'm having the same problem with my 4S. I have to constantly reboot my iMac or turn off my phone a few times to get it to sync. Before when I had 5.1.1 everything seemed to work just fine. I'm sure its a bug......

  • Keynote and QTVR

    Maybe, I'm stupid, but I can't understand why keynote can't stand QTVR files... From Apple!!!
    So, I have to show a project (a building) and of course I have some slides to show plans and sections, materials and so on... At the end (as the famous words 'One more things...') I would to show a qtvr project to navigate the building...
    At the moment I use iWeb and PanoTourPro from Kolor... But I become crazy if I think that Keynote and qtvr are both from Apple...
    Could you help me, please?
    Thank you
    Lucio Liberi, Mac user since 1984
    PS iBook doesn't read qtvr files too...

    I had been using Powerpoint V.x because it would handle all our scientific QTVR very nicely - but PP V.x no longer runs (under 10.5.x) so I've been "forced" to upgrade to Office 2008. While Powerpoint 2008 can display a QTVR and allow some interactive control, I can no longer Zoom (in or out). So, without Keynote support for QTVR I'm really out of luck ... PLEASE bring full QTVR support to Keynote!

  • My Mac is dying?!?  Help - Spinning wheel of death.

    HELP My mac has become crazy slow, lots of spinning wheels while trying to access anything and everything. It's gotten progressively worse. I'm a home use but have set up 3 users on this machine. It's been like that since I set it up 3-4 years ago. Now when I do fast user switching it just hangs and never finishes. I have to shut it off. Then in order to get it to boot back up it's usually a process of 2-3 restarts. It'll will just sit on the apple screen and forever. I don't have the original CD so I can't use that to troubleshoot. I'd love to download it if possible. I downloaded AppleJack 1.5 yesterday in hopes to troubleshoot/repair but the first thing it says...
    "AppleJack is designed to be run only in single user mode. Running this script while logged in as a user can crash your operating system (especially if you use it to delete the system's virtual memory or cache files), which would be more than a little bit counterproductive, since we're out to solve problems, not cause them."
    I don't see a place to turn off the multi-user/accounts. So I'm stuck. And I'm sad. I'm addicted to my mac for fun and extra income. Please help!!
    iMac PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB RAM

    Unfortunately DU can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.
    http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
    Or, if you can afford to lose all the data on it, 1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the Erase tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then chose MacOS Extended Journalled.
    6. Click Erase & look for Options. choose Zero 1 pass.

  • Concerns ALL Time Machine Users. HOW TO MOVE Time Machine backups. Help !

    Concerns ALL Time Machine Users :
    MOVE (or COPY) Time Machine backups from a "x"To Disk to an "y"To greater disk.
    Hello and thank you all for reading me,
    First, excuse me if I make language errors (I'm French).
    Secundo, I don't know if you'll find something interesting for you
    in what I write about Time Machine and my own problems,
    but there's a possibility also that YOU could perhaps help me.
    I'm talking about Time Machine and his **** Backups.backupdb folder,
    containing "*Name of your Mac*" folder,
    this folder containing Time Machine backups, format : YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS
    Time Machine doesn't recognize the backups it made *IF YOU MOVE THEM*.
    I have perhaps a solution in this message.
    You'll see below what kind of problem I (and you could) have.
    Since 12/01/10, an Apple Adviser Level Two (and me)
    are trying to understand how to move backups from TM1To Disk to, let's say, a bigger one.
    My case is TM1,5To.
    *Purpose :* Move 19 backups from Time Machine X disk to Time Machine Y disk.
    Delete TMX disk Time Machine backups after that.
    Make TMY disk the current used Time Machine Disk.
    I don't remember exactly what we did before
    (we even created a "root" account with password (dangerous to do),
    but it didn't solve the problem),
    but we finally copied :
    TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder (containing 19 backups) into :
    TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb folder.
    The Copy application announced *16 hours !* (without antivirus, to remove absolutely).
    So I said goodbye and thank you to my Apple Adviser. After *8 hours*, Copy failed.
    BUT it had succeeded to copy *4 backups ONLY* (why ?) in TM1,5To.
    I immediately verified and checked each of these with Get Info.
    They had EXACTLY the same size (Byte to Byte) as in TM1To.
    ➔ BUT HERE IS MY OBSERVATION :
    After designing TM1,5To as Time Machine Disk, I ordered it to Backup (now).
    And what did Time Machine do in TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb ?
    It created a *NEW folder*, named *MacBook Pro 2* !
    ➔ *I HAVE NO ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (4 backups copied from TM1To, remember) ;
    ➔ while I still *HAVE ACCESS* to TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (19 backups) ;
    ➔ *AND I HAVE ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro 2*,
    where Time Machine makes actually his backups.
    *NOTE :* If you *change the name* of your computer,
    Time Machine *changes automatically the name* of the folder who is in Backups.backupdb folder.
    ➔ ① I have *never seen* such protections (Sharing and Permissions).
    You are not allowed to do anything. I've tried to change permissions,
    first : "R+W", after that : "Make (Me) the owner", I can tell you : DON'T DO IT !
    ➔ ② It's impossible to install an OS on a Time Machine disk
    (I thought it would allow better permissions).
    OS Installer detects the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder
    and refuses to install on this disk or partition.
    I have now the bad intent to install minimal OS X
    1) after deleting (how ?) this folder (but not its contents, how to move it ?)
    and 2) declare *after that* the disk as Time Machine disk.
    ➔ ③ Time Machine doesn't backup OTHER Time Machine backups
    (who are in an ancient-not-choosed-for-backups Time Machine disk) NOR backups this disk
    (detects, once again, the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder).
    AND you can't *absolutely not remove backups from the folder the're in*
    (for me, *MacBook Pro* or *MacBook Pro 2*).
    ➔ ④ I didn't have time to do it, but I think there would perhaps be a solution
    in restoring backups in partitions specially created to receive them (having the same name,
    that sort of thing) and then re-backup these partitions (vicious and complicated).
    There is a function on Mac OS X Install DVD : start with it, and then (do not install)
    choose "*restore from Time Machine backup*" from the menu bar (it's called "Utilities", I believe).
    ➔ ⑤ I *absolutely don't understand* what follows :
    — If I add (in my TM1To disk) the bytes of the 19 backups
    in Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder, I obtain about *1,8 To*.
    — It's impossible (and not french).
    — When I check the size used with Disk Utility (NOT with Get Info),
    I find a correct (?) size : *about 750 Go*.
    — What are Time Machine backups made of ?
    It can't be aliases (because of their size, and because *aliases suppose originals,
    and where could they be ?*), or am I wrong and becoming crazy ?
    ➔ ⑥ If you refer to the numbers shown at the end of this text (*4 backups*),
    you'll see I could *delete duplicate elements* inside these 4 backups,
    to win space (but *what kind* of space *if I delete aliases* ?).
    Back-In-Time (see below) says he does it.
    BUT is it really the OLDEST items I have to destroy (see ⑤),
    when I don't know with what kind of ARTEFACT I'm acting ?
    What does Time Machine delete to create more backup space ?
    Is it REALLY the OLDEST backups it treats, or duplicates, OR ?
    *What you can do :*
    Find and go to Tri-Edre.fr or Tri-Edre.com/fr site (it's a french company
    that creates small Mac applications since fifteen years at least,
    I think I already bought them several programs in 1990) ;
    Their program *Back-In-Time 1.4.4* is free (Trial) and complete to download (with PDF docs too).
    It is *ENTIRELY DEDICATED* to Time Machine and *things you can't do* with.
    Price is about 30 €, I think it's worth.
    The TRIAL version you will obtain can only work on the LAST Time Machine backup,
    but you will see what's featured *AND :*
    You will ACCESS to ANY Time Machine backup you want
    (It has to be the last of a serie of backups, but the serie you want.
    I've bought the application and own an activation key, but you understand I can't give it to you
    (it would not be ethic) and anyway you would be obliged to disconnect AirPort, Ethernet etc.
    •➔ I have bought the application because I thought (it's said in PDF FAQs) I could IN THE END move Time Machine backup files, but it cannot, (I'm afraid).
    *BUT ANY ACCESS PROBLEM IS SOLVED.*
    •➔ Back-In-Time 1.4.4 can *delete :* duplicate backups, complete backups,
    or duplicate items inside one or several Time Machine backups,
    things that I believe impossible with Time Machine itself
    (I've seen it offers to delete ALL occurences of an item) ;
    •➔ The application can also restore anything you want, where you want
    (but I think Time Machine does it too ?)
    •➔ Believe it or not, but since I've bought it on 15/01,
    I've only worked about 2 hours (no, much more) on it
    and didn't make sufficient progresses (enhancements ?)
    to talk of it with sufficient experience (I'm a bad guy, don't you think ?)
    •➔ Tri-Edre offers on-line support, e-mail support (and so on),
    and I EVEN didn't manage to join them, because I did many other things,
    and also somewhat have been disgusted *not to be able to move* or copy
    *(accessible by Time Machine after that)* backups,
    and I also didn't succeed (*another Time Machine inconvenient*) to DESTROY an ".inProgress"
    Time Machine (package) which doesn't work anymore (several interruptions while active),
    date (and name) 2010-01-27-164345.inProgress, but is used (*with failure results*)
    by Time Machine (it's turned off till I find how to destroy its **** ".inProgress" package.
    •➔ I've asked my Apple Adviser Level 2 to wait for news from me
    before working himself on the problem, and I think I will send him this message
    to prove I haven't forgotten him.
    •➔ I'll send it to Tri-Edre too, in the same move.
    I hope those remarks to be useful for somebody, tell me if it has helped.
    I will also publish this in any Time Machine topics I find here, and in MacRumors site too.
    As you can see, I need help too … Does anybody have an idea ?
    Perhaps if I used a specific Copy software, it could work ?
    You'll see below an example of some time I've spent to study my problem
    (you will think I'm crazy).
    With my kind regards, and good luck if you have other Time Machine problems !

    Le but du jeu est de transférer toutes les sauvegardes Time Machine
    d'un volume/partition que nous appelerons "1 To"
    sur un volume/partition que nous appelerons "1,5 To".
    *Je rappelle que les 4 sauvegardes effectuées par Time Machine sur le 1 To
    n'ont pas été reconnues comme siennes par Time Machine sur le 1,5 To,
    bien que strictement identiques en taille après leur copie.
    J'ai remarqué dans Back-In-Time des fichiers invisibles (tels que "TimeMachine.log"
    ou quelque chose de genre), et je soupçonne fort qu'ils n'ont pas été copiés et que Time Machine,
    ne les trouvant pas dans le 1,5 To, a ignoré à cause de leur absence les 4 sauvegardes décrites ici.*

    Dear James Pond,
    Thank you once again, and, don't be afraid, I will be as short as possible,
    but I need to use your last reply (I've cut all what was already said).
    JP ➔ You can copy an entire set of backups, but you cannot copy part of it successfully. See #18 etc.
    JP ➔ Read this from the first paragraph: "you cannot copy only selected backups,
    or merge two (or more) sets of backups." The structure of the backups simply will not allow it.
    I've read it, and found it regrettable. And I've also read, after that, what were the solutions under Leopard and Snow Leopard, and my conclusion is that it's a *dead end* for me. In short,
    — I can't move (by drag and drop) the 1To's Backups.backupdb folder (containing MacBook Pro, 19 backups, access) to 1,5To, because there exists already the Backups.backupdb folder created by copy on 12/01 with Apple Assistance (containing [MacBook Pro, 4 backups of 19, no access] and [MacBook Pro 2, 15 backups, access]). I don't even know if it could be deleted by the copy (and I don't wanna do that anyway) ;
    — I can't rename (and what for, I already forgot it) any Backups.backupdb folder nor delete it ;
    — I can't copy any Computer'sName folder (entire set containing backups), being in a Backups.backup.db folder, into another Backups.backupdb folder ;
    — I can't copy any (or all of an entire set) YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS backup(s), being in a Computer'sName folder, into another Computer'sName folder (even if it would be empty).
    — Saying NONE in Time Machine Preferences and putting it to OFF is simply no use.
    All is said. What I can try to do is :
    — Delete (not with Finder, but with Back-In-Time) all duplicate things I find in all backups and also entire duplicate backups (I have full access to all with the software) ;
    — Restore each of the reduced-to-minimum backups obtained in specially right-sized partitions wearing the YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS name of each restored backup. Time Machine doesn't backup his backups, but will backup these partitions.
    I'm afraid to be actually completely running out of the target, when I read what I write … It's time to go to bed !
    Reminder (OH) : Where did you find these amazing informations ?
    JP➔ Some of it is detailed here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/12/roadto_maco[]sx_leopard_timemachine.html
    ➤ Thank you ;
    JP➔ and here:
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2007/10/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
    ➤ Thank you too ;
    JP➔ You have to understand the structure. When TM does the first backup, yes, it copies everything.
    On subsequent backups, it copies what's new or changed, but also makes "hard links" (sort of like aliases) to the copies of the things that didn't change. That's how it can only back up a few things each time, but show you a complete "snapshot" of the way your entire system looked at the time of every backup.
    ➤ I'll do my best to understand.
    JP➔ Time Machine deletes backups under two conditions. See the first part of #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions User Tip, also at the top of this forum.
    Under normal circumstances, you should not have to delete any backups. See the rest of #12.
    ➤ I understood why Time Machine didn't delete oldest backups : they were not weeklies ones.
    Reminder (OH) : How can I destroy the (corrupted ?) not working "2010-01-27-164345.inProgress" in 1,5 To, which causes Time Machine to abort any backup of any size I ask ?
    JP➔ Why do you think it's corrupted? TM is designed to "recover" a partial backup.
    ➤ I'll verify that with the little Tools/Apps I discovered in your FAQ User Tip document and downloaded immediately.
    Why didn't Apple tell me anything ? It's my fault, I'm perhaps not clear and not demanding enough more from them.
    JP➔ You cannot install OSX on a disk containing TM backups. That's because they need to be on separate disks.
    Technically, you could put them on separate partitions of the same disk, but that would not be a good idea.
    ➤ I never told you that (there would be no interest at all). I talked about the same location, to see if it would allow me more permissions, but if all works without doing it, it's really no use.
    JP➔ Sorry, I don't know what that means.
    ➤ I'm sorry, I didn't explain : "but if all works" meant : Copy Backups.backupdb, "without doing it" meant : Install OSX.
    ➤ If I install an OSX BEFORE, Time Machine will REFUSE completely to backup on it, it's understood.
    JP➔ Correct. The partition you're running from will not be an option in TM Preferences > Select Disk. That prevents TM from backing-up it's own backups!
    ➤ Would it be so absurd ? Maybe it could resolve my actual problem ?
    I think you are right, but I don't know why. I trust you.
    Reminder (OH) : "I will not bore you again except if I don't find a specific answer to an unknown-never-seen-incredible malfuction."
    JP➔ Don't worry about that -- thats what this forum is for, especially if you're still having problems.
    ➤ It's seems in fact that there is no possible solution, except what I said above and is certainly crazy/out of subject.
    Just try to be as clear and concise as you can.
    And please don't post the same things repeatedly -- it wastes your time and ours, and can confuse other folks.
    ➤ You're absolutely right and I tried to do so this time, and I'm sorry because I see it's still (far) not enough (short).
    Thank you once more. I wish you a good evening and week-end. Here it's 01:40 AM.
    With my kind regards

  • Having trouble with kernal_task, fan, overheating, and lag issues with my Macbook Pro. What should I do?

    I've had this problem with my Macbook Pro for the past few months. I am starting to become increasing dissatisfied with this product since it's less than even a year old and going through so many problems. I've taken at least 10 trips to the Apple Genius Bar in the past year.
    I've had issues with
    1) erratic trackpad
    2) wifi connection timeouts
    3) kernal_task taking up 300% of my CPU, my fan become crazy and just having my laptop lag to the point where I can't even use it.
    I sent in my laptop for repairs last week again and they replaced my logic board and some other things. I recieved my laptop back yesterday, but I'm finding the same exact problem is happening again this morning. I still have warranty and set up another appointment for a few days... but the amount of trips I've taken is really starting to irritate me and my problem still isn't solved. What should I do? Is there another way to solve this or should I just keep going back to Genius Bar...
    I regret buying this laptop. =\ It was so expensive but yet has so many problems. I've never had to deal with anything this cumbersome with my past few laptops.

    If you've taken it back for the same problems over and over again, I suggest that you start asking for a replacement. Ensure that you've backed everything up to an ext HD and removed your personal data and information. IIRC, repeating problems warrant a replacement.
