Need help with volume I can't get rid of and terminal

I own a external HD named "elements". One day a second volume appeared named "elements". Every time I tried to save files to my external HD they were written on this mysterious volume. The volume isn't showed on my desktop - only when I try to save something with Opera (browser) or in the terminal I can see it.
I renamed my external HD so I can write files to it. So far so good.
But how can I get rid of this volume? The finder does not show it. Spotlight does noch find it. Only in the terminal I can see this volume and I can see the files in it.
the terminal command "diskutil eject /volumes/elements" or "diskutil unmount force /volumes/elements" did not help.
what can I do?

It sounds like a "false clone" was created on your internal HD, which can happen if the target volume of a backup program becomes unavailable during the copy process.
Try this:
First eject and disconnect all external drives, then:
Finder>Go menu> Go to Folder
enter /Volumes and click Go
Don't touch the alias to your internal HD volume, or any other alias.
If you see "elements," and it is NOT an alias, trash it and empty the trash.

if you got into the bios/uefi and have determined that the hdd is being detected then that is good. At least the hdd is operating to some extent, although still may be corrupt OS or the like.
Eagle asked you what OS your using (i.e., Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, etc.). I see that English is not your native language so we'll just have to work with that as best we can.
Did you make any changes to the operating system (OS) as a result of the link you posted, and what were they?

fgl_grant_year 10 period 1 = for account 7600 its $100 and $100 for period 2 you see 100 dollars again this is not to be added this is the carried over balance. which remains $100.
so im trying to write a query that basically does the following.
im given a period for the sake of this example lets say period 1 i get nothing else. I have to find the greates grant year grab the amount for period 14(which is the total from the previous year) and add it to the amount of the current period. in this case period 1 grnt_year 11
so the expected outcome should be $700
240055     240055     7240     4730     02     10     14     200

any help that you guys can offer would be immensely appreciated. I have been trying to get this to work for over 3 days now.

the current period +(current period - greatest year 00)
hope that makes sense so in other words with the new data above. if i was querying period two of grant year 11. i would end up with $800
because the greatest year is 11 it contains a period 0 with amount of $400 so my total should be
period 2 amount $ 600
period 0 amount $ 400 - period 2 amount of $600 = 200
600+200 = $800
if i query period 1 of grant 360055 i would just end up with 800 of grnt year 10.
i have tried to modify that query you supplied to me with no luck. I have tried for several day but im embarrased to say i just can get it to do what im trying to do .
can you please help me out.

can anyone asst with this issue please

Hello jeff_morrett,
To find a great deal on an open box item is awesome! I'm sure you and your wife were excited to have everything delivered and installed. It is regrettable to hear of the delay you may have experienced due to inclement weather. While I'm glad James and the other home theater technician were able to make it rather than reschedule and were professional, I understand that a phone call would have made a significant difference once they realized they would be late.
To find that your open box LG soundbar you had purchased may not have had the mounting bracket you expected, would of course be detrimental to your installation experience. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected to be labeled and priced accurately. I am truly sorry that your unit may not have included all parts as expected, and that the bracket the store initially provided you to resolve this issue may not have worked for your needs.
It is discouraging to hear that Jane and Chris from the store may not have been able to provide a satisfactory resolution. To hear that you may have to upgrade to a soundbar you didn't choose and have to pay for another appointment would be quite irritating and rather disappointing. I apologize for any disappointment or frustration this entire experience may have caused you.
Please know that I was able to locate your purchase and order information with the information you shared in your post, and I am reaching out to the leadership at the store to see if we may have any other options for you. If you should have any questions, please let me know. In the meantime, I greatly appreciate your patience.
Respectfully,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

HT204088 I need help with my password I forgot the alternative email and securtity question answers

I have an itunes account and my children keep charging my credit card . I need to change my password but......
I don't remember the alternative email address used and don't remember the security question answers.

First off, all caps is considered shouting. Bad idea.
As for your actual question -- a bit more information is required. Do you need to change the password for your user account? Your user account is what you login to when you turn on your computer. It might be setup so you don't have to enter your username and password when you boot up. It is set this way if you can turn it on, and when it's done starting, you see a desktop and dock and can use your programs. On the other hand, you might have to enter your username (either by typing or clicking on your icon) and then your password. After doing that you will be at the desktop.
If you can't get to the desktop be, it means you aren't typing the password correctly. Passwords are case sensitive -- perhaps you just need to turn caps-lock off -- e.g., "PASSWORD" is not the same as "password" and if your password is set to something like the latter, typing the former will always fail. If you don't know the password, you can reset it by booting from the system install discs (put in system disc, hold down "c" while turning on the computer, ignore the open popup regarding installation, from the menu, choose the option for resetting the password, choose the user you wish to reset, and then enter a new password).
On the other hand, if you get to your desktop and can use programs, the above is not your problem. Instead, you are having a problem loging into your mail account because you don't know your password. In that case, your only option is to contact the mail service provider and ask for your password. That issue has nothing to do with your operating system.

Help!! how can I get rid of all this icloud music on my phone??

I just upgraded to ios 7, and now there is a huge amount of my son's music on my phone and I cannot find any way to get rid of it. Oh, how I loathe apple file management!
This music must be from itunes on his computer--we use a common account. I have manage music manually checked, I never sync to itunes. All of the unwanted music has little clouds with arrows on it. It does not appear in my music library, and in usual apple idiotic fashion, there is no way to delete from the phone itself
I have deleted my icloud account, which ios 7 so graciously reactivated, but the unwanted songs still appear in my playlist.
Please help--this destroys my music library
TIA

Go in Settings. Then in "Itunes & AppStore". Deselect "Music" and "Videos" on top. This would solve the problem with the Music and Videofiles in the cloud, that you seem to see.
The music isn't actually on your iphone. It just shows you what is in the cloud.

Webutil with IE=native, can't get it up and running

Hi,
I'm impressed on the WebUtil functionality. Got it up and running smoothly using JInitiator. Great Stuff!
My problem appears with a customer that wants me to deploy this functionality through native JVM of IE6.0.
Did anyone of you manage to get Webutil up and running not using JInitiator but the native IE JVM??
(When will webutilbase.htm be included in WebUtil?)
Any help would be appreciated!!
Kind Regards, Marc Vahsen
=====================================================
Details:
I managed to:
- create cab files for webutil.jar and jacob.jar, resulting in webutil.cab and jacob.cab
When I try to invoke the first form that uses the webutil object group, I get errors:
- FRM-92100 (connection to server lost)
- Details: FRM-92040 Java class not found, javax.swing.JLabel
Trying to analyze this with my restricted java knowledge, I see that this class is present in rt.jar, which is added to my (server) classpath in default.env.
Should I make a cab file for this one also??
Further analysis shows that the webutiljini.htm contains an extra "section" that calls oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil.
As the file 'webutilbase.htm' is missing in webutil_102.zip, I tried to create this htm file myself, with extra section:

<APPLET CODEBASE="%codebase%"
CODE="oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil"
WIDTH="0"
HEIGHT="0">
<PARAM NAME="cabbase" VALUE="webutil.cab,jacob.cab">
<PARAM NAME="serverURL" VALUE="%serverURL%">
<PARAM NAME="networkRetries" VALUE="%networkRetries%">
</APPLET>

This however does not work, and reduced my left options to 1: post a topic on OTN!

Extra information:
The code section that is unreadable in the topic description above (without the less than / greater than signs reads:
APPLET CODEBASE="%codebase%"
CODE="oracle.forms.webutil.common.RegisterWebUtil"
WIDTH="0"
HEIGHT="0"

PARAM NAME="serverURL" VALUE="%serverURL%"

Can not get rid of the terminal

I have a G3 Wallstreet and for the last two days when I try to start it up it open up with the Terminal.
I had a program called "AppleJack" and meant to get rid of it but forgot, I have try Zaping the PRAM, Safe Startup, starting it up with a bootable DiskWarrior and even with OS 10.2.
I have the drive Partition with the first 10 Gb for OS 10.2.8 and the rest for OS 0 9.2.2. it has been working just fine up to now.
This "AppleJack" program when it runs starts up in the terminal and runs some stuff like repair the permission and stuff like that, I run it thought all it is suppose to do and it will not shut down when I am told to restart.
Can someone please help me as I use the laptop when I am bedridden.
Thank you for your time and trouble.

Norbert,
I do not envy your condition, but I imagine there are few at your age that would even attempt what you are trying to fix, so congratulations and let's see if we can fix the ole girl.
I would like to correct a word I used incorrectly earlier. When you describe your HD, you use the word 'space', not 'room', as I did, so you have about 3GB of free space available. If there is not enough free space for an A&I, the installer will not allow you to proceed. Also, this is a major operation on the HD and it is always wise to have important files backed up...you never know when something might go wrong. I am not suggesting that this procedure will result in lost data, but it is better to be safe than sorry. There is an old saying that files not backed up are files you don't want.
One of several limitations of the Wallstreet is its lack of USB and FireWire ports, thus making it more difficult to back up data. Do you have any procedure for backing up? If so, you can boot to your OS 9.x, find the files you want on the OSX partition, then drag-copy them to another volume; you can do this with OSX data files just like OS 9.x. You may have to boot to your OS 9.x CD, select OS 9.x in the Startup Disk control panel, then restart to your OS 9.x partition.
These are the steps to follow for an Archive & Install, from this tech article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
1. Start up from your Mac OS X Install Disc 1. (I deleted the unnecessary part.)
2. Select your language. The Welcome to the Mac OS X Installer window appears.
3. Click Continue. The Important Information window appears.
4. After reading or printing the information, click Continue. The Software License Agreement window appears.
5. After reading or printing the information, click Continue.
6. An agreement sheet appears. If you agree with the license agreement, click Agree. The Select a Destination window appears.
7. Click the volume that you wish to install to.
8. Click Options. The installation options sheet appears.
9. Select Archive and Install.
10. Select the volume which already has Mac OS X installed.
11. You should also select Preserve Users and Network Settings, to preserve network and Home directory settings. (See notes and Related documents below.)
12. Click OK.
13. Click Continue to begin the installation.
The above tech article also mentions this:
-Some third-party software items may not be preserved. If third-party software doesn't work after the Archive and Install is performed, reinstall it or contact the vendor.
-Safari may not work after an A&I (and this may apply to other software also). It should work after updating to 10.2.8 again.
