Any application using webkit won't start (urgent help needed)

Hi,
Any application that needs webkit won't start anymore. The problem is (appears to be) in one specific folder: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework
All reports point to that folder, i restored it from a time machine backup but the apps still wont start. Is there a way to reinstall webkit?
Applications include:
- Safari, Mail, App Store, Adium, Dashboard, Messages, Notes, Reminders, Spotlight in the menubar, iTunes....... pretty much every application i need to make my Mac usable.
All error logs show this:
pplication Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: __ZN3JSC14JSGlobalObject16putDirectVirtualEPNS_8JSObjectEPNS_9ExecStateERKNS_10 IdentifierENS_7JSValueEj
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/WebCore.frame work/Versions/A/WebCore

Any suggestions on how to fix the webkit problem?
Thanks,
Jay

First, I'd check in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs. If it does it could be a startup item or plug-in that's interfering. If not, try re-installing Safari.
Not sure it will touch WebKit though, you you may need to boot to your Recovery Volume and re-install the OS. Not too bad because it's an install in place and shouldn't touch any data, files or settings.

G5 iMac won't start! Help needed.

Got a new intel iMac. Gave my husband my old G5 iMac (not intel). It was working perfectly. For some reason unknown to me, he decided he was going to reinstall everything from scratch so he grabbed the first disk he saw and put it in the computer. It was the startup disk for an intel computer & NOT for the iMac G5.
Did he fry the computer? It won't start up. Keypad & mouse won't respond.
The screen can't find the driver (no surprise) and says "panic: we are hanging here...." I can't get the disk out of the drive. Service contract is up. Is there a way I can connect my laptop to it and get it to respond & spit out that intel disk? Perhaps if I open the cover up, I can into the CD drive and get the disk out. All ideas appreciated.

Hi Mel Kev
Have you tried holding down the left mouse button when you turn the computer on. Holding down the left mouse button should force eject the disk.
Hope this helps

And it WORKED! (I really wasn't in the mood to do surgery on the computer this evening). Thanks all!!! You are awesome!
Now, if I can just find the original installation disks.... They are in this drawer somewhere....

IMac G5 17" - Won't Start? (HELP NEEDED SOON!)

EDIT 4: (Yes, I'm that impatient. Sorry.) The thing below worked ONCE, but it hasn't loaded since. And we still can not get the Startup Disk to load. (As a side Q, why is it that Safe Mode is the only thing that loads anyway?)
EDIT 3: We tried pressing the Command, Option, P, and R keys. That got the tone to sound! HALLELUJAH! But now it's whining again, is that supposed to happen? And will it take all night? (Most of all, will it overheat?)
EDIT 2: We also tried using Safe Mode. (Once.) It actually made our computer do something - but that something was overheating. (Loud, whirring noise, like it is having a heart attack, like it is going into outer space, pick a description. )
EDIT: I checked Apple's article on this. The one that says to start up from the disc. It didn't even load, so please do not say to do that.
We have had our old iMac G5 for about 5 years now (as soon as 2010 comes, anyway).
Recently we had a problem where it suddenly locked up.
Now, even after removing all non Apple hardware, unplugging it, taking it apart and checking the connections, and cleaning it from the dirt inside, it only loads the Apple logo with the grey start up screen and the spinning icon. After that, it just stops and won't do anything else.
We also tried booting up from the Startup disk, but it simply ejects it. (Which is surprising, since it won't do anything else.)
Can someone please tell me how to fix this, or is it finally dead for good?
BTW, we have bought a new Mac, but we still had all of our old pics and such on the old computer, so it is really quite valuable to us.
So if it isn't savable, is it possible to take those photos of the HD and somehow back them up? (Stupid question, I know.)
Thanks,
SSD~

If you could get the old Mac to start in FireWire Target Disk Mode
it may be seen by a healthy Mac (via proper FW cable between
them) as an external hard disk drive. In this way, files or items
saved on the old computer's drive may be accessible and could
be archived by the second, healthy computer on CD-R or DVD.
The old computer's hard disk drive need not be able to start up
that computer beyond the instructions in FW TDM to see content.
"How to use FireWire Target Disk Mode"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
There are circumstances in which a healthy computer
could also be utilized to check or attempt a repair on
a failed one, using the FW Target Disk Mode and the
healthy computer's Disk Utility's 'repair disk' from the
version in the healthy computer's utility folder.
Sometimes a failed hard disk drive may make odd noise, or
some other issue in the computer due to component failure
may cause problems. A failing logic board may mimic other
kinds of issues, depending on where the fault occurred.
{Also, an external enclosure could be bought and the drive
from the iMac G5 put inside, then this drive could be looked
into by the healthy computer; using disk utilities to see if it
could be accessed and some content saved elsewhere.
Be sure if you buy an external hard disk drive enclosure
that it will work with the hard disk drive type from the G5.}
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
Tomcat\conf directory.
I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>

<role-name>webviewer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
</tomcat-users>
So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
Help would be v. much appreciated.

In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
Gary

1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

Computer restarts when ipod is connected urgent help needed

alright this is weird, I've had my ipod for ages and suddenly I go to plug it in and the computer slows down really really really slow and eventually just turns it self off, restarts and then sits in a black screen. if I leave the ipod plugged into the computer and restart it again it just goes straight back to the black screen, but both my ipod and computer work fine when there not connected. i have the latest version of itunes which seemed to help the first time i tried it actually started to update the ipod but then guess what the computer has another heart attack. urgent help needed please!!!

if I leave the ipod plugged into the computer and restart it again it just goes straight back to the black screen
Given this, I'd put it down to a flaky power supply in the computer. Might want to try using another computer or replacing the PSU.

rohini,
go to RSA1->Modeling->Source Systems and right-click on your BW system, and click on 'Replicate Datasources'.
also, go to the ODS that's causing the problem (via RSA1->InfoProvider and go to your ODS), right click and click on 'Generate Export Datasource'.
one more thing, make sure that all your record/s in the source ODS is active. if you're not sure manage its contents and click on 'Activate'. if there are any entries in the the next screen that comes up, you need to activate it first, then try everything again.
let me know what happens. also try to look for error messages in ST22 and SM21 that may be related to this and post whatever possible error you see there here.

Recovering windows XP -Urgent help needed

I am new to Toshiba. I hav a 60 GB hard disk with no partition and windows XP home installed. I want to partition the hard disk now. Now after formatting the hard disk do i lose Windows XP HE completely or is there chance to recover it and reinstall it. Urgent help needed.

Hi
You can reinstall your notebook using Recovery CD. It is easiest and fastest way to reinstall OS, all necessary drivers and tools. Put Recovery CD into DVD-ROM, start notebook and press down C button. At the beginning there is choice between two kinds of installation (Standard mode and expert mode).
If you choose the first one whole HDD will be formatted and used for OS installation. With second one (expert mode) it is possible to install OS on first partition. It is also possible to define how big the partition should be.
Try it. It is very simple to do it.
Good luck
