3 Questions that are becoming a problem for Dad

Hello to all the ma family,
My 350 Sloat load is developing a few weid problems. Thougt I'd post and see if I could get some help before things get worse.
The problems are:
1. - The computer hangs on start-up...It starts to load and shows the first extension that looks like 2 arrows (file sharing?). Then it hangs. The second extension when it does load is a question mark.
I tried....blesiing the system, changing to an older set of extensions in the manager........I have not added anything new to he computer.
2. - When I boot up ....many times there is a few items in the trash...All related to internet cache? Why is this happening?
3. - When the computer hangs....if I hi the program button on the side....it will almot always boot up. I know this is not a good idea.
I tried zapping and rebuild desktop using Tech Tools lite.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.......mGb......Jim

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the reply....I am pretty familiar with the boot process and I agree it would seem it is an extension conflict. I have been using the extension manager for years as I have an external Iomega using Toast. That is why I elected an old set of extensions from the manager. What i do is about every 6 months I make a duplicate set of extensions and rename with the current date.
The computer seems to always start on second try. First try...normal boot...often results in hang... I then hit the program button on the side and it boots normal. I will keep trying. I do know that I didn't add apps or updates in the last 6 months.
Any ideas pn problem 2 with the items in the trash from Eplorer cache? These often occur even after quiting all apps and then a normal shut down.....Thanks again......mGb.......Jim

  • 4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

    What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
    Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
    Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
    How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
    I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
    How to Fade a Graphic
    I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

    Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

    1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames.  THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer()..  The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

  • There are many apps I purchased for my android phone that are exactly the same for the iPhone, do I have to buy these again or would the license transfer?

    Yes you need to buy them again. Apps written for one device will not run on the other.

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to reset your Apple ID security questions:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.

  • Security questions that are not mine

    I'm trying to by a song on itunes.  Telling me that I have NOT used this computer to buy before (have used it for years)  Then I'm getting security questions that I have no idea what the answer could be so they are not my questions.  How do I fix this?

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • Can someone please help me with my security.  For some reason when I go to download from my itunes account, apple is asking me to verify my ID by asking me questions that are simply not relevant to me.  How do I change the questions?

    When I go to download from my iTunes account, it has started to say that I have to verify my ID.  When only last week I was able to download ok.  The questions it asks me are not relevant to me and I need to know how to reset the questions.   For example, it asks who is my favourite teacher?  I am over 50 years old and have not been in a classroom for almost 40 years, so I would not have ever answered a question like that in the first place as I would not know a name of a teacher.  Any clues anyone? 

    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
         1.  Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
         3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

  • When trying to download an app or song it asks for my security questions I be answered but neither of the questions that are to choose from have been set by me!? What do u do? I don't know the answers :(

    Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

    Answered in the other thread you posted in:

    Please don't post in more than one place. It can lead to people wasting their time answering a question which has already been answered elsewhere.
