Ok, so show us how to get Disk Utility to repair permissions on a Time Capsule's internal HD.

Mr. Pondini,
Not really - By the time this procedure is necessary Data Recovery takes primacy - the warranty is the last thing to be worried about.
Just because it is not in your Pondini FAQ link ( designed to garner Apple Rewards Points) with minimal effort, to message your ego - does not mean that a procedure/method is a bluff. Passing judgement on others is also not good, Go out into the field and try to help customers and you'll know this procedure is a Life saver and not a bluff.
Like I said - if you ever need to run Disk Repair on your TC's drive, send it to us and we;ll run Disk Utility on it for you.
Now you are begining to irritate me and I do not like that. ...
Have a nice day.

Attn: ALL APPLE PORTABLE OWNERS -MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini slowdown kernel / high CPU use problem and solution.
YOU COULD FRY YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU DO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM SO PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE!
YOUR MAC WILL THANK YOU
Hey all.
Like many of you I've got a newer Apple portable which slows down to an unusable level for an unknown reason. In my case a 13" mid 2009 Intel MacBook Pro Core 2 duo laptop. After many failed attempts to figure out what this nutty problem is I have discovered the problem, the solution and I have solved this for my own MacBook Pro. Since this fix it has been working immediately and consistently -without issue
I am sharing this with you in hopes that you to can fix your Apple portable yourself or so you know what to tell the Apple techs so they can quickly fix your Mac from this wacky and unfortunate kernel CPU hogging problem.
User Software Symptoms :
Your Apple portable computer periodically for an unknown reason slows down making everything frustratingly slow. This happens even when running previous apps that were never a problem; things that your Mac should be able to handle easily but for some reason now it can't.
Slowdown most often happens during high CPU use such as gaming, video playback/editing, etc. or when running multiple apps (even non CPU intensive apps) at the same time.
Possible Hardware Symptoms:
Your computer is making more noise than it did previously.
Your computer occasionally makes more noise but then gets quieter.
Your computer is always extremely quiet (too quiet) even during high CPU apps -worst case scenario.
It feels hotter than it normally does. Test: After several minutes of the slowness/high kernel CPU touch the computer to feel if it's hotter than normal.
Looking at Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder) shows the kernel_task is going bonkers eating up CPU but you have no idea why.
After trying many different things to solve this problem such as :
PR ram reset, SMC reset, fresh OS install of 10.5 and 10.6 on external hard-drives, calling and speaking to various Apple tech people who had no ideas/solutions, etc. I had no luck.
Btw, if you're having the symptoms I've decscribed above I would not run the Apple Hardware check (read below as to why). You could fry your Mac!
After much testing I found the problem :
It is my belief that "recent" Apple portable computers are using low quality internal fans which soon stop working!
Fail time period seems to be about 1.0 years to 2.5 years of use but this fail rate could vary depending on use.
First noticeable symptoms (depending on what you notice) could be computer slowdown or your fan is making more noise than it normally does. This is your fan's lubrication slowly eroding making your fan spin slower and less smooth resulting in the louder noise and slower rpm spin speed. The slower fan spin speed means less cooling is happening for your computer. The effect on your computer is that the CPU and other chips are heating up! Overheating to be more specific. When your computer's chips overheat they get wonky and screw things up. Most often this seems to have the effect of making the kernel hog CPU resulting in a frustratingly slow user experience! Heat kills computer chips and it is extremely bad for them. Extreme overheat or repeated overheating has been said to shorten the life of computer chips or in extreme cases even fry them completely!
The longer this goes on without being fixed your fan loses more lubrication and spins slower and slower cooling lesser and lesser resulting in your CPU heating up more and more possibly shortening the life of your Mac! Eventually your fan will stop completely and you could fry your chips! My fan stopped completely and my MBP was running very quietly, too quietly. Luckily I did not fry my chips because I was avoiding using high CPU apps because I knew something was wrong due to the massive slow down and wonkiness when I'd run them.
Side Note:I'm a bit concerned about all those Mac mini servers which may be using the same defective low quality fans which cannot be easily serviced by their owners as they are co-located in some server facility. One positive thing is those facilities are usually well airconditioned keeping temps low.
I suggest you do not run the Apple hardware test if you suspect your computer is overheating because the hardware test can seriously heat up your Mac! I tried running this test and my Mac got so hot I had to shut it down forcefully and I was concerned I damaged the chips. If you want to run the Apple hardware check make sure your CPU temperature is ok and that your fan works well before you run the test.
IF YOU DON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM YOU COULD FRY YOUR COMPUTER DUE TO HEAT DAMAGE!
DO NOT IGNORE THIS PROBLEM YOUR MACS LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT!
First you need to properly diagnose this problem and see if your CPU is getting to hot and you need to see if your fans are spinning at high rpms giving proper cooling, or if they are spinning at low rpms when running high intensive apps as your CPU temp increases.
TEST IF YOUR FAN(s) IS WORKING CORRECTLY :
Unfortunately Apple does not include CPU temperature reading software nor fan rpm speed software that I am aware of.
However, There are two free ways that I know of to check your CPU tempurature and your fan speed :
One app shows fan speed, and CPU heat, etc.
One app shows fan speed, CPU heat and allows you to adjust your fan speed settings.
One app is a dashboard widget, the other is a system preference.
I suggest you download both of these to check your computer statistics.
http://www.eidac.de/?p=134
http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
http://fan-control.en.softonic.com/mac
I am not exactly sure what proper CPU temperatures are for the different Apple computers and this will change given different CPU loads.
My MBP doesn't seem to function properly with anything around 90 degrees or higher (celcius).
It seems when the fan is operating normally the CPU temp should not stay above 78 degrees even under heavy load, at least with the apps I'm running in the room temperature I'm in.
I can post back later with more specific temps under longer load, etc. but I wanted to get this post up for people to read as soon as possible so they don't fry their Macs.
If a bad fan is your problem :
THERE ARE ONLY TWO SOLUTIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM :
Fix or replace your fan so it cools the CPU and other chips properly.
I fixed my fan myself and I didn't need to buy a new one. Total cost was about $8.00 because I had to buy a #00 sized screwdriver and had it shipped to me. Price includes shipping.
On my mid 2009 model MacBook Pro fixing the fan was incredibly easy :
Before I started doing this I wasn't 100% this was the problem so I decided to try to fix my fan instead of ordering a new one and replacing it. As it turns out I didn't need a new fan, I only needed to clean the existing fan and relube it's axl so it could spin easier like when it was new. It also didn't make sense to buy a brand new fan from an Apple authorized parts reseller selling me the same low quality fan for $49.00 which would probably fail in 2 years again. Prices for new comparable fans from different manufactures range from about $15.00 USD + shipping to around $49.00 USD + shipping depending on where you order them from and what brand you get.
How to fix / replace your internal fan on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro :
Please note : I am not a hardware technician, nor expert. If you decide to fix your Mac yourself you do so at your own risk through no fault of my own. Prior to opening up your Mac you should google around and learn how to do it correctly and safely so you won't damage your Mac. For example, it is possible for you to damage your Mac by static electricity from your body. To avoid this I believe proper procedure is that you wear a 'ground strap' (around your wrist) which you clip to your Mac's metal body so your body will not excude a charge into your Mac. I believe the idea here is to keep your body's charge level and your Mac's similar. Since I do not have a ground strap and fixing/replacing the fan doesn't require touching any chips I did not wear a ground strap during my fan fix. What I did was periodically repeatedly touch the metal case of my MBP hoping that would be enough and it was. Avoid unecessary actions that can build up a static charge in you. Once I started the repair I did not walk around the room building up an electrical charge in my body. Walking on carpet can often build up a large charge in us so it is better to be avoided while working on your Mac. Certain clothing can build up static charges. Combing hair, etc. If you need to get up from your repair when you come back make sure you first touch the Mac's metal case and not anything inside.
Now that we're done with the scary paranoia, below you will find some instructions on how I fixed my MBP's internal fan
Before you begin:
Check out someone's video (not mine) on how to remove / replace the fan (but not take it apart and repair it):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AghE9newvbs
Check out someone's web page (not mine) on how to replace the fan in a mid 2009 MacBook Pro:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-Fan/ 1338/1
How to repair your mid 2009 MacBook Pro fan:
Make sure you are in a 'secure' environment. No pets, no kids running around, no drinks near the Mac, etc.
Make sure your computer is unplugged from it's power supply and turned off. NOT slept. Totally off / powered down.
1. Get a size #00 phillips screwdriver (Hobby store, Radioshack, Amazon).
2. Open up your MBP by unscrewing the bottom (yes flip it over so it's resting upsidedown). Note where each screw goes because some are different lengths. I placed each one around my MBP where they go, insuring I know their order (don't jumble them up). Note which direction your MBP is facing when it's upside down so if you spin it around while working on it you still know where the screws go.
2b. Some recommend removing the MBP's battery but I didn't do this step. You probably should, just to be safe. Follow the online instructions from the web page I listed about disconnecting the battery.
3. Unscrew the fan's 3 holding screws.
4. Unplug the fan's electrical connection (lift it straight up off the board). If you need to you can try to pry it up while you lift with a non metal/non electrical conductive object like a spudger if you have one or -perhaps a pen cap. Before you remove it, look closely at how it's attached so when you put it back on you won't wonder if you're doing it correctly. There's only one way it can go because it cannot fit 'the wrong way' but looking at it closely will make you feel more confident popping it back on when the time comes.
5. Remove the fan - it easily lifts out.
6. Take the fan apart by unscrewing it's one screw then unlatching the plastic clips which hold it together.
7. Seperate the fan blades from the housing. Lift the fan blades off of the fan housing by pulling it straight out away from the housing.
8. Clean off the dust that's gathered. A can of compressed air helps here (I didn't have one). I used a little brush from my electric shaver kit which worked well. Once you've removed all the dust from the fan and surrounding areas proceed to the next step.
9. Reapply new lubrication. You need less than 1 drop. Be sure it covers the entire fan blade axl as this is what needs to be well lubricated. Make sure there isn't excess oil that will fly around when the axl/fan spins at high rpms. I used the only oil I had which was olive oil (for cooking!) but I do not suggest this. At the time I was doing this I didn't know my fan was the problem so I wasn't even sure I was going to relube it. You should probably use something more appropriate perhaps like 3 in 1 oil. A good idea would be to call the manufatures of these little fans and ask them. Maybe a hobby store knows of good lubricants for these purposes?
DO NOT use things like WD 40 as it's not a long term lubricant or so I've read.
10. Once your fan is now clean and oiled (make sure there isn't too much oil) reassmble the fan.
Push the fan blades/axl back into the housing shaft. Give it a few spins with your finger.
Screw together the fan housing then reclip the clips.
11. Place the now reassembled fan back into your Mac and screw it in place (3 screws).
12. Reattach the fan's electrical wiring by gently pushing it into place. Make sure you've got the right end facing down before you push it in place.
13. Once your Mac's internals are clean and reassembled, place the rear cover back on your Mac and screw it in place.
14. Double check you didn't forget anything like screws, tools, etc.
15. Boot up your Mac and monitor the temperature and fan speed using those programs.
Compare the previous temps/fan speed to the current temp/fan speed.
Run a high CPU intensive app where your computer has been slowing down.
You should now have a happy Mac
If you have this problem and this solution fixed it for you please post in this thread letting me and everyone else know!
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

Windows XP Pro Sp3 Blue Screen of Death (Attn: The Hatter please?)

I have installed windows on my macbook pro several times and everytime i let windows update i get the driver irql not less or equal error. i do have the nvidia gpu and i know there are some driver issues with this on the new windows updates. i attn this to you The Hatter cause i remember seein some of your post that had possible solutions to this, i just cant remember the threads....
if you or anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated, i have already disabled the driver so it is stable, and have yet to update xp, but diableing the driver is annoying with the windows lagging and the lagging in the scrolling.
Thanks You

Does anybody have any ideas? Please, this problem is getting a bit irritating and I know there has to be a solution to it.

Attn: Installing the Sample Applications from the ifs Development Kit

There are a number of problems with the sample Applications included in the
Developer's kit. These need to manually fixed in order to get the demos to work.
#1: Solaris Only
The install of the iFS Development Kit, replaces the existing adk.jar with a new
one containing some additional classes. Unfortunately the install process does not
set the correct privileges on the new version of adk.jar. Please ensure that the
file $ORACLE_HOME/ifs/lib/adk.jar is world readable.
Bug # 1304730
This issue will be resolved on the next drop of the Oracle Internet File System
development kit.
#2: Generic
There is a problem with the way in which the login.jsp establishes a connection to
the repository. The current code makes incorrect assumptions about the name of the
iFS Service and the schema password.
The following changes are required.
In order to connect to the repository 4 pieces of information are required.
1. The iFS User Name
2. The iFS User's password
3. The properties file to be used
4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
The Login.jsp needs to be altered so that it requests these four arguments before
attempting to establish a connection to the repository.
(The current version only requests username and password).
All four arguments need to be provided as arguments to the login method on the
underlying JavaBean that the JSP invokes when it want to open a connection
to the repository.

This issue will be resolved on the next drop of the Oracle Internet File System
development kit.
#3. Making the BaseRendererClass available to the Protocol Servers
Note this step is not required if you have the 1.0.8.3 patch set installed.
Install the BaseRenderer Class. The BaseRenderer class is delivered in the jar file
ifsdevkit.jar and can be used to simplify the task of creating a custom renderer.
Unfortunately the jar file containing this class is not referenced in any of the Classpaths
used by the iFS protocol servers. This means that they will not be able to load any
customer renderers that extend BaseRenderer. In order to make BaseRenderer available
to the Protocol Servers it need to be placed in the appropriate directory under
<ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/custom_classes.
Extract the class from the ifsdevkit.jar.
ifsdevkit.jar is located in <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/lib after the devkit has been installed.
jar -xvf ifsdevkit.jar
extracted: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
extracted: BaseRenderer.class
Create the following directory heirachy in <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/custom classes
oracle/ifs/server/renderers
Copy <ORACLE_HOME>/ifs/lib/BaseRenderer.class to
<ORACLE_HOME/ifs/custom_classes/oracle/ifs/server/renderers
That should do it.

ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
3. Cleaning the registry.
4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
+** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
All of this and it goes nowhere good.
Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
Thank you for your time and help.

Checkwriter/Deposit Advice:
Oracle will de-support the Live Checkwriter and Deposit Advice for US and Canada beginning with EOY Phase 1 in September. Archive Checkwriter and Deposit Advice will continue to be supported. What this means is that new code changes and bug fixes will not be tested on the Live Checkwriter and Deposit Advice. Additionally, enhancements made to the Archive version will NOT be made for the Live version.
*Note: If you would like to view the output of the archive version of this report without needing pre-printed stationery, try the following in a test instance:
disable the trigger pay_action_parameters_ari
insert a row in pay_action_parameters with the following value -
name=PRINT_REPORT_LABELS
value=PAYUSCDA
enable the trigger pay_action_parameters_ari
Run the report. This will print the labels and make it easier to check the report without needing pre-printed stationery.
In early summer, we are targeting release of an XML version of Checkwriter and Deposit Advice.

Multiple Apps using same security system - Attn: Frank

Hi Frank:
Based on what you suggested for a scenario with different apps/databases using one "application_users", "application_roles" tables and one "system-jazn-data.xml" file, does the following setup sound right?
(1) APPLICATION_ROLES table
Add an additional column "APPLICATION_REALM". This will have "app_one_realm", "app_two_realm" etc.
(2) System_jazn_data.xml
<application>
<name>current-workspace-app_one</name> (***App One wrkspace****)
<login-modules>
<login-module>
<class>oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule</class>
<control-flag>optional</control-flag>
<options>
     <option>
     <name>data_source_name</name>
     <value>jdbc/BDTestDS_App_One</value> (***Points to connection for App One. Does this sound right?****)
</option>
<option>
<option>
<name>realm_column</name> (***is this correct?**)
<value>application_realm</value> (**Is this correct?***)
</option>
</options>
</login-module>
</login-modules>
</application>
<application>
<name>current-workspace-app_two</name> (****App Two wrkspace. Make sense*** )
<login-modules>
<login-module>
<class>oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule</class>
<control-flag>optional</control-flag>
<options>
     <option>
     <name>data_source_name</name>
     <value>jdbc/BDTestDS_App_Two</value> (***Does this sound right? Coonection for App Two*****)
</option>
<option>
<name>realm_column</name> (***is this correct?***)
<value>application_realm</value> (***Is this correct?***)
</option>
</options>
</login-module>
</login-modules>
</application>
(3) system-application.xml (Points to absolute path for system-jazn-data.xml)
<jazn provider="XML" location="<absolute address>/system-jazn-data.xml" default-realm="jazn.com"/>
(4) jazn.xml (Points to absolute path for system-jazn-data.xml)
<jazn
location="<Absolute address>/system-jazn-data.xml"
default-realm="jazn.com">
</jazn>
(5) I am not clear about your comment "Regarding Application Context when assigning roles to a J2EE authenticase case see jaassec/index.htm doc" Are you talking about something in the web.xml for each app?
How does (a)
<option>
<name>realm_column</name>
<value>application_realm</value>
</option>
in "system-jazn-data.xml"
and (b) "APPLICATION_REALM" in APPLICATION_ROLES table
and (c)
<application>
<name>current-workspace-app_one</name>
</application>
<application>
<name>current-workspace-app_one</name>
</application>
in "system-jazn-data.xml" all tie in?
In other words, how are the roles tied to the appropriate application context? Each app needs to know its role?
Thanks

Hi,
please note that application_realm only works with the LoginModule provided with the document. It doesn't work with the OC4J oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule. Note that the how-to document I pointed you to explains the use of custom LoginModules by example of custom login modules I wrote.
The way it works is that the application_realm if provided is used when querying the application specific roles. If a realm is not provided then all roles are queried for the user.

Attn Denali - 'iTunes encountered a problem and must close down' when impor

Denali - apologies for the incorrect name earlier i don't seem to be able to delete it!
I have followed your contribution here with interest and indeed tried your fix but it didn't work for me. I'm asking for your help because the useless 'stards at Apple show zero interest in trying to fix my problem - just endless 'have a (insert here fabulous, awesome, nice etc) day' banal commentary that helps no0ne fro their support staff that are not tech people anyway..
So any suggestions are welcome. I keep getting an error box pop up after trying to import a CD - it gets 3/4 tracks in and then says it has encountered an error and must close down. I can find no error codes though a previous attempt at trying to trace something pointed at Quicktime. I have the latest version and have uninstaled and reinstalled about 4 times and I continue to get this problem which makes itunes unuseable for me. Oddly when I first installed itunes it was working correctly and I managed to upload around 19 albums but for some unknown reason it is no longer playing ball.
I have had this problem now for over 2 months and as I said noone is willing to help. BTW I run XP on a PC.
Any help welcomed

Apple continue to show Zero interest I see - what a surprise!!!
Denali - you out there?
Cheers

Problems updating PS CC and CC Desktop--attn:Ashutosh Nigam

I have two problems. Creative Cloud Desktop says there is a new version of it, and when I try to update, the Adobe Installer seems to go about 80% of the way, and then stops with the following message:
I can’t open the Creative Cloud Desktop, as, when I do so, it tells me:
If I quit, it closes the Desktop, and if I try to update, it fails to install as shown above.
When I tried to update PS CC, by using the Update in Help in PS (v 14.2 x64), it said that there were two updates available, for CC and CC (64Bit).
I tried to install them both, when it asked me to close PS, which I did, it got upto 99% of installing the first update and then it quit with the error:
As has been reported by others, the error log file referred to merely said:
     Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4
     Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
Following the advice of Ashutosh Nigam in another post, I have sent him the Installers and the AAMUpdater files. If I should send them to someone else, or you need any other information, please let me know.
Hopefully, someone can help me fix these problems.
TIA.

Thanks, Asutosh, for your prompt responses. Both problems seem to have been solved--at least until the next updates!

Attn: Jerry Hofmann

What's wrong with this picture? Since when am I of all people more helpful than you? I'm kinda missing your calm sage advice around here.

Well, the more things change, the worse they get ...
One of the great problems with the LAST forum set-up was that if you spent your time helping "new to the forum" users, you often received little if any recognition in the points system. No great insight is required to tell someone to turn on their camera before launching FCP in order to capture, but since each person discovers the forum (and it is only REAL when THEY arrive) this class of response needs to be repeated over and over. As these new users were often totally ignorant of the points system and, since they often only showed up for their one issue then disappeared, they had no incentive to say thank you to those who took the time to help. In their minds, this is all part of the great APPLE machine - why say thank you? However, people who hung around WERE appreciative of things like: humor, community, grumpyness, brilliance etc and recognized the work that was being done.
Now, in this new forum, we have a situation where the ONLY points available are from the people - often the new users who are unaware of the format of the forum - who have absolutely no incentive to give feedback. Since these users are either unaware or do not care about the protocols of the forum, few votes for helpfulness/competence are given AND the reputation calculation does not evern take into consideration post count. This seems very wrong to me.
As Jim remarked - there are fewer of the usual group around.
So, to new users, if someone has helped you, give them the HELPFUL points. If someone has answered the question, not only mark it ANSWERED, give the poster the SOLVED points. Support the people who help you as they are trying to support you..
rant over.

fwiw - how the h33L did I get into the top 3 here? If proof was needed that the ranking system is seriously flawed - there ya go!

Service book icon - ATTN: cpt_Sweatpants, can you help?

Can someone help me? I have a Curve, version 4.5.0.77, platform 3.2.0.51. The service book icon has appeared on my home screen with the #2 beside it. After reasearch, I went in to the Service book to "accept" so as to clear the icon, but all the Service book entries already have a check mark - none of them are waiting to be "accepted". I have powered off and popped the battery with no result. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Powering off your BlackBerry and removing the battery, reinserting really doesn't do anything.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Once rebooted, if the service book notification still remains, check your main Messages folder. At the top of the message listing, press the U key to go to the first Unread message, and U again for the next, etc.

ATTN: Question for Graphic designers using new 24" aluminum imac

I am about ready to replace my 2001 G4 867 Quicksilver. Are you happy with the screen and overall build quality? I mainly use photoshop, indesign and illustrator in that order.
The Mac pro is now too expensive an option for my budget. I read a lot about screen discolorations but would like some feedback from pro users who have adopted this machine.

Well I'm a graphic designer and student. Recently purchased a 20" aluminium iMac, fantastic piece of kit, and despite being smaller compared to the 24", the resolution is still really high and there is lots of workspace. Many seem to recommend the 24" though and part of me wishes I had got a larger screen instead, but the 20" size is actually better than fine.
The only problem is, since release last year, all the latest iMacs are having display issues. I didn't know anything about this before purchasing my iMac and expected a higher quality from Apple. They all seem to have gradient issues where the bottom half of the screen is abnormallly brighter in the 20", the left side is brighter in the 24", and also some reported yellowing in the corners. Apparently, more people have reported problems with the 20" than the 24" though.
If you look through these forums, you will struggle to find one person who actually has an iMac without this issue.
Unfortunately, for graphic design use (eg Photoshop, Indesign, etc), the iMac's current state is useless. I am writing this on my current iMac and it is impossible to see a full solid colour across the screen at any angle, no good for design use!
Not sure what I'm doing with mine yet, refund or get Apple to fix it...

Attn moderators

my malwarebytes ( anti malware program) is kicking up a fuss over the thread " issue in cs3 for mac "...due to the link to postimage.org .... cant reply to the message after I stop the attempted DL from postimage.org... to let the poster know theres a problem with his thread for me at least...

thanks Jerry,
I use malwarebytes ( security ) and it was blocking access to the ip for that link...so for me it was problematic...glad you checked it out and its OK..thanks a lot !
Rod
ps....often, with a "redirection" to another site my security will do that ...it doesnt mean that particular ip has been targeted necessarily as a " threat"...know what I mean ?
