Ibook G4 freezes either when its on the grey loading screen or the blue screen. Sometimes I get it to my desktop but it always freezes in like a minute. Someone help I really need this computer!

I have tried everything online and my iBook g4 wont stop freezing. Safe Mode doesnt even help, it still gets stuck on the blue screen! It either gets stuck on the grey loading screen or the blue screen. Rarely I am able to boot past everything and get to my desktop but after about 30 seconds it freezes again. This laptop was passed down to me and I have no original papers or disks that came with this laptop. I am really trying to figure this out without buying a disk because if it doesnt work I wont be out $60. Someone help I have tried putting it in safe mode single mode holding c down during start up! I need more options.. Please this is the only computer I have right now! (PS: I know warranty has expired a long long time ago)

Without the disk you are limited on options. It could be an issue with the hard drive and would required the disk to run disk utility.

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

Please help, I really need this

Recently my battery ran out on my 3gs and the screen went yellow! i kept it charged in but the screen remained black. When I plugged it into my computer it said iPhone is in recovery mode? so I clicked on the restore button, it downloaded iOS4.3.5 and when it was installing it just stops at 'Preparing iPhone for Restore' and it just sits there for a long time (My iPhone screen remained black this whole time). Then after about 5 minutes a dialogue will pop up saying 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An Unkown error occured (1601) please help! My warranty ran out on my 3GS!I completely uninstalled iTunes and Mobile Device Support and it still won't work! My iPhone won't even come on when it's trying to update!
but you guys don't understand. My iPhone won't even light up, I dont even get a white screen anymore. All I can hear is that it's turning on and off while it's plugged in usb. My screen is black! No matter what i do it wont even light up. When i try to update and restore the screen remains black guys please please help!
ALSO:
The last site that i had that my phone was on is when i was trying to restore it. A yellow screen popped up and then it slowly faded to black. At first it was just a yellow screen then it was fading to black with black verticle lines that slowly took over the whole screen making the screen black.

Query - copy layout - really need this

Hello,
is there a way, a workaround, or what so ever to
copy / download a Layout of a Query.
(and then import it ... )
I really need this so please explain me how I could do this!
thx in advance!
greetings
Steven

Micky,
I already knew how to transport a query itself but my problem
is that there are "layouts" designed (and assigned) to these query.
so when i want to copy or transport a query, i also want to transport/copy the
layouts that are created...
example: Query Q has 2 layouts assigned to it (L1 and L2)
so now, I want to copy Q > Q2 so that it also has those two layouts included
so if you know a trick to copy a query (with the layouts inside - or a way to assign these layouts afterwards)
please let me know!!
thx already for your reaction

MAIL: How do I get rid of *VIP mailbox? I really need this gone. Thanks.

MAIL: How do I get rid of *VIP mailbox? I really need this gone. Thanks.

Tried this - I think I'm doing it right - and not working. All incoming and outgoing emails appear in the VIPs and also in another unnamed stared folder in that box. I cannot delet either mailbox. I can delete mail within the boxes by choosing and deleting , often I have to do it 3 or 4 times before they decide to actually go away. Clicking on the star just highlights the message and then I delete, but new message from same recipient still shows up again. When the VIPs box and the folder in it are completely empty they are still there. Am I doing something wrong?

Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS write

Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.

This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail

I received telling me that my icloud storage is almost full. I need to upgrade my storage. Can someone help me out with this. I understand that the 20 GB is only .99 per month. Just hoping this would be enough for me. I back up 2 ipads and my iphone on the same computer. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you.

Okay.
I responded as I did because you wrote, "I have 2 ipads and my iphone that I back up on one computer"
No worries here.
But hopefully you get/got it sorted.
Any issues, post back.

How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

Ibook stuck on the grey loading screen

Stupidly i was messing around and accidentally unlocked the battery which fell out while my ibook was on sleep method. Now the ibook will only start up and get stuck on the grey loading screen.
I fear i have corrupted the hard drive, i have tried resetting the logic board by logging into the base router( i don't know if thats the right terminology), i did this by pressing power, then holding down apple key and v. But when i do this after the normal writing on the screen finishes, a message comes up saying
"Warning completing a zero block transfer"
I have reset my logic board before but this message has not come up.
Any help resolving this issue would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Not resetting?
Well that presents a problem because you need to check the startup disk, repair the disk if necessary, or restore OS X using OS X Recovery
You can resstore from a Time Machine backup using OS X Recovery if necessary.

I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Block Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
