A/W Vanished Completely??!!Help!!

Erased and installed my eMac Power PC G4 back to 10.3.4 as per Apple Phone Tech.Worked my way back up to 10.3.9. By the proper Combo Updaters from the downloads here at Apple website through Safari.This eMac was bought in Aug.2004,born a month or so earlier.I upgraded my RAM to 512.Good RAM,not the problem.Got vewwwwwy slow,thought it could be dialup problem,not.Harddrive may be shot again,been replaced at least two times,well,"Logic Board?".Probably three,tech at Comp USA who did work,no longer there,paperwork,missing?Still under extended warranty,get that!! Very good idea.Apple says,no,they won't replace eMac just yet,try erase and install,guy on phone talks me through steps.After two days putting everything on CDs,boy was my typing finger tired. I did as told,now,not only do I not have Classic on computer anymore,Appleworks has disappeared completely from my baby.I searched by myself,it's where I kept a short diary,but Finder says 0.I am not certain if I lost anything else.I don't want Tiger,but I adored Appleworks,so many fun things.I am not sure which update cost me so dearly.Please help me,I know it is probably on one of the two install discs,but which one,how do I get back my Apps.,especially AppleWorks??and how do I re-install Mac OS 9?

Sorry, I don't type the way other people do. I use one finger, and possibly, only half my mind. I didn't take any business courses in high school, only sciences and languages. If nobody teaches you things, you should be forgiven ( Please? ) for making mistakes.
I finally read most of the available postings about reinstalling things, I worked up my nerve and tried the DVDs, the missing things were on the disc the Apple guy didn't tell me to put in. Easy from there. I'm trying to learn by doing, I thank all of you here at discussions for your help. Directly, or by finding your other previously posted answers, you come through. I had read the stuff about Apple discontinuing AppleWorks and I was afraid they'd just dropped it without giving me a chance.
I'll try to keep the space thing in my mind as I type from now on, but it may slip away again. I agree, it does make the reading easier.
( Also, I noticed, you space between your paragraphs. )
Yes, those were some of the things I found and read. I backtracked through a lot of links to find the specifics. Good thing this wasn't one of my husband's aggravated days. He let me get through the whole mess without interruptions. Now I have to logout and get stuff done around the house.
My next step might be to create a nice signature here.
Thanks again, Linda

  • Vanishing Point Help!!

    Hi, I'm using Photoshop CS2 and have a really annoying problem with the vanishing point filter.
    I am using vanishing point to add different carpet tile patterns onto the floor of a room set image. To do this I am creating the pattern in a seperate document as a birds eye view (this is quite a large file). I then copy this, open vanishing point and paste.
    The annoying thing is after opening photoshop this method will work for the first 2 maybe 3 patterns but on the fouth the vanishing point filter just wont open. If i try to copy just half the pattern it will open and as i go on it then wont even open with half the pattern copied so i have to copy a quater of the pattern until it gets to a point where i have to restart photoshop and 'hey presto' it will now copy the full pattern over into vanishing point!
    After each pattern I complete i make sure to purge the history and clipboard and i have no other programs open at the same time.
    So my question is why will it work for the first three but not anymore?!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jeremiah,
    Please mention the exact version of Photoshop that was used to create the VPE and also the version of After Effects that you are using with the details of Operating system.

  • Installed update 1.1 - IPOD HAS NOW DIED COMPLETELY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just plugged in my ipod calssic 80Gb to update a few things, and it told me there was a new software update, 1.1. I cicked install, seemed to be taking a while so I went away, came back 5 minutes later to find the ipod had disappeared from itunes (which still works fine), and the ipod screen was black. I now cannot get anything out of it at all, it is dead. It does not respond to the 5 r's, nor when I plug it in to the computer or even to a power socket. It is DEAD. What has happened?!?! I've only had it 3 weeks, and it worked perfectly before. Only thing I can think of is the screensaver came on before I came back to my PC
    Anyone help?!?! I am not happy
    Thaks a lot

    I had the exact same experience last night. I helped my son install the 1.1 update. He came to me when his iPod didn't come back at all. When it wouldn't respond to the 5 r's, he was completely in tears.
    After reading a few posts on this message board, I decided to completely unplug it from ANY source of power and let it sit. I could hear a high-pitched sound when I placed it up to my ear, which made me think it was still "on," even though the screen was completely blank.
    A few minutes ago, he came running downstairs with his iPod, telling me that it had "lit up!" We were getting the "connect to power" message. We plugged it in to a wall charger and voila! We got the apple logo, we got the status bar for the 1.1 update, we watched the update complete and the once dead iPod is up and running again.
    Somehow, it gets in a state that nothing works, but it's still running. When it finally runs out of battery completely, it seems to reset itself. I know it takes some patience and this shouldn't happen. But at least we didn't have to drive 45 minutes to a Genius Bar or wait for the iPod to be shipped back and forth to Apple.
    Good luck!

  • Photoshop CS3 vanishing point help

    i'm having a bit of trouble with the vanishing point filter.  this is the first time i've ever really used it to any extent so i must be overlooking something trivial or maybe it's just a program error...
    anyway, whats happening is i'm trying to apply art to a box using the vanishing point filter, there is no problem with creating or editing the planes but as soon as i paste the artwork from the clipboard and try to position it to the front of the box it only wraps around two of the planes correctly and the third plane is cut off in an odd location and doesn't match up with the rest of the "box" i can't figure this out and i'm rather unsure what i should do about it seeing as how i've been unable tgo find support for this problem.  any help is greatly appriciated.  thanks.
    -Greg

    I think it's how it calcualtes the plane area in relation to the original layer size vs. the "texture" resolution. What if you simply try to do this in multiple steps? I mean, some touchup is inevitable, so why not make it easy on you? The plane setup will remain active during a session, so it should be easy to make the required adjustments...

  • VANISHING POINT HELP - PHOTOSHOP / AFTER-EFFECTS

    I've followed along with the Vanishing Point tutorials and can't get them to work, Ill create my image in Photoshop and apply the Vanishing Point filter, create 4 walls and a background, all blue grids, export the .vpe and load into AFX and I get distorted images that don't look like my scene, it appears that Photoshop is incorrectly slicing the images and so when loaded onto the geometry it doesn't look at all correct, HELP what am I doing wrong?

  • Do I use WebHelp to export my completed help files?

    I have completed my new help files using roboHelp 7.0.  They are ready to export. 
    I have looked through the RoboHelp files, but am unclear what I need to do to export them.  There is a file called WebHelp, but does it contain all of the help files I have created?  Or do I have to put them there?  If so, how?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    The WebHelp you see should be a folder, not a file. What you need to do is to copy everything inside that folder where you want it to end up.
    In the Single Source Layout recipe, you should be able to configure a Publish destination. By doing that, when you generate, you should then see a button that is labeled "Publish" that, when clicked, will copy the content to where you want it to end up.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Video complete help

    I am trying to find when an FLV I am using with a FLVPlayback component with an instance name of "videoComp" is finished playing.  Here's the code:
    videoComp.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, movieDone);
    function movieDone(event:VideoEvent):void {
         trace("movie complete");
    From everything I've seen online, this should work.  But I get this error:
    Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 2, Line 48 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: VideoEvent.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    import it:

  • My entire Library has vanished! HELP!

    I tried to Create a New Library, b/c I thought I could separate my music I use for different purposes, and when I did, I can't fine the Old Library with ALL MY MUSIC! Can I retrieve it? HELP ME!!!!! please!!!!!!

    Shift-click itunes open and open a previous, or existing library. Refer to the .itl files in My Music/Itunes. One of those .itl files is your original library. (unless you deleted it, if so, then it's gone).
    If you want to switch from one library to another, just shift-click on itunes to open it and you can choose which to open.

  • Premiere Crash on Export, HOURS of saved work vanished, need help finding

    I have been working on a huge project for the past couple days. I've been saving on top of auto save on my own anally every five minutes.
    Trial went up mid project and I had to upgrade to full creative CC package, in doing so Adobe gave me a new version of premiere not compatible of single App version I was working on with project before. So after the purchase when I went to open my project, it would prompt me and alert me of this difference, letting me know that my project is only compatible in a different version of premiere. I figured for this project, no big.
    I FINALLY got the perfect cut, saved, went to export and my system locked up. I left it idle for a hour or so, came back and still frozen. I decided to reboot because there was no coming out of it.
    Really freaking out over here, I will owe anyone my life who can try and help me figure out how to recover that final saved project file. No versions near the latest can be found in the obvious places to look.
    I'm no file-saving-backup-techno genius. Please. SOS.

    I share your feeling. Ppro inspires itself to crash at random intervals for no apparent reason and has done so for me since day one. I've spent the better part of 8 embittered years with the Ppro system, not a single version ever yielded reasonable stability.
    In fact I just lost about an hour's work a moment ago after a freeze while simply scrubbing through a timeline. Not a single autosave file created since this afternoon.
    I hear responses that are equal parts "works fine for me" and "I too live a tortured existence" and while Adobe engineers have been nothing but enthusiastic, patient, and helpful, the software remains an incredibly fragile and fickle ordeal. I've been left with the frustrating impression that the program is a patchwork quilt of functionality constructed piecemeal to keep pace with our ever-evolving needs, and bugs specific to certain hardware and software configurations inevitably multiply with them. Regardless of others' success, I believe that if a stool has two legs, it doesn't have to fall over to be considered unstable.
    So as not to be a totally useless grumpy lubber, I would suggest doing what the Adobe engineers would tell you first, which would be to trash your preferences and clear your Cache folder. It won't bring back your work, but sometimes those files get corrupted and can choke your system again in the future.

  • HT203216 I just went to make a call and all my contacts vanished.  HELP!

    I just went to make a call and noticed that all of my contacts have vanished.  Does anyone know how to recover them? 

    You didn't answer my question - what service are you synching your contacts to?   Under Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - what accts do you have?   Is Contacts enabled?

  • 5.0.4 : Objects Vanishing - PLEASE HELP!

    Placed, dragged or created objects (images, text, vectors) are mysteriously disappearing in the latest version of inDesign, but only on certain pages. It appears to happen very randomly. Once they vanish they cannot be selected using the selection tool, however, a 'select all' will show their edges. Once selected this way, they can be made to re-appear by making a modification to them - for instance, adding a stroke. However, after saving and re-opening the document, they are once again invisible. I have tried a number of things to fix this, all to no avail:
    1) delete prefs and plist files
    2) flatten files so there is no transparency or alpha
    3) save images in jpeg, png and other formats
    4) eliminate transparency on specific pages
    5) placing images, or alternately dragging them
    Anyone have any ideas? It is officially killing me.
    Thanks

    Buko, CS3 was actually the first version to supposedly support Leopard, CS2 was not, but CS3 was. Though CS4 does it much better.

    In OSX you cannot allocate memory to any application (except Photoshop where you can set a percentage of the total amount of RAM that Photoshop will use, which isn't the same thing). Even if you have 10GB RAM, applications do not support the use of that many. Photoshop for instance will only use around 3GB maximum. Most have an upper limit in the application itself. Also, the use of existing RAM is also affected by how many applications (and which) you run at the same time as you run InDesign. OSX allocates as much ram as it can access and needs for the tasks to be done all by itself. There is nothing you can do about it yourself except not running multiple memory hogging applications at the same time.

  • Usecase for Tree as master driving Table detail - cannot complete - help!

    I'm trying to create a tree based on a self referencing table to drive a detail table. The tree works on the lower levels of the tree but not the top level of the tree. My setup is as follows; For the tree
    View Object 'Organization' based on SQL Query:
    select org_identifier, org_name, org_parent_company,
    from organizations
    org_parent_company is the self referencing attribute to org_identifier
    I also have a viewlink as below:
    Source attribute: organisations org_identifier
    Target attribute: organisations.parent_org
    Source accessor : in view object: organiszations
    Accessor name: ParentOrganizations
    Destination Accessor; in view object: organizations
    Accessor Name: Organizations
    My datamodel is as below where CompanyWorkPermits is the detail view object
    DataModel
    Available View Objects:
    Organizations
    ---->Organizations via OrganizationsToOrganizations
    ---->CompanyWorkPermits via OrgsToWorkPermits
    DataModel:
    Organizations
    ---->Organization1
    ---------->CompanyWorkPermits
    On the page I drop Organizations from the Data Control Panel to the page as a tree
    I add a new level on the tree control that adds the self referencing organization level.
    On the page I also add drag the detail Item CompanyWorkPermits as a table.
    I create a PPR trigger from the table back to the tree, so when I click on the tree the table updates.
    The issue is that the top level of the tree does not update the table, only the lower tree levels.
    Because the detail view object and table references the Organization1 view object instance.
    I can't seem to add the organzation view object as the same instance to drive the detail table, JDEV always add's a numeric number to my view object instance.
    Has anyone come across this usecase?
