BIG PROBLEM! Darwin/BSD but MORE! AHH

Okay, here is the story.
I came home after a trip and I was presented with the Darwin/BSD problem. Well I did what the other threads said and checked my log. My log said things like "authorization failed" but no "exiting to consol" There were PAGES AND PAGES AND PAGES so I didn't check it all. I figured i'd take it into an apple store or something... So I waited about a week. Then I turend it on again and BOOM. I was presented with "Choose your language" as if my Apple was completely restarted. Well I got really excited and told it english, and watched the welcome video.
Then I picked my country...
And then..
It said "Do you already own a mac?"
And I had three choices
"-Transfer my information from another mac
-Transfer my information from another partition on this mac
-Do not transfer my information"
Well see this is where another problem starts. See.. I don't KNOW if I "partitioned" my hard drive.. I sort of doubt it, unless its like automatic.. Well I surely didn't want to "NOT transfer" my information, so I clicked the partition one, and it went to a screen where it began searching. WEll it searched...
and it searched...
and it searched...
For days, hahah.
I finally gave up and FORCE turned it off because the GO BACK button would not work...
This same thing happened twice, and at this very moment I'm at the same screen asking me how I want to transfer my information.
And let me tell you this- I CAN NOT lose this info on my computer. It is some of my most valuble documents... so PLEASE, PLEASE someone help me. Do I say "Do not transfer" amd it will already be on there? Or do I take it to the apple store and get them to retreive my harddrive information somehow in single user mode or something.
Gosh, please helpp

Michael C stopped my MacBook booting into Darwin/BSD, but it is now sloooow

I am testing a MacBook 2.16 GHz for possible use at work. Upgraded to 3GB RAM and Hitachi 200GB HD. Performance was great after a week, but one day I got a dark screen at bootup with the Darwin/BSD-login-password message that a lot of people seem to get. I followed Michael Conniff's advice (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4550428) and got the system to boot into the GUI properly. But ever since then performance has been very slow: e.g. selecting the Date and Time takes 5 seconds to launch and clicking on the AirPort icon takes the same amount of time to produce the drop-down menu. It's like the MacBook is running in slow-motion. The exception is the Dock: it pops up quickly and the Apps scroll by quickly. Launching the Apps is another matter, though.
NO OTHER APPS INSTALLED. Really. No MS programs or even freeware. Just iLife '08. All the current updates have been installed. Zapped the PRAM, ran Disk Utility to check the disk and verify permissions--even booted into single-user mode and ran fsck (disk was okay). Tonight I reinstalled the OS in a clean install, installed all the updates, and afterwards the MacBook is just as slow. What is going on? If it's this slow, I guess I won't be using Parallels anytime soon to replace my Dell!

Well, this has been frustrating. The original hard disk also will occasionally boot into Darwin and menu selection is still very sluggish. The local Apple Store won't touch an Apple recertified MacBook--even one that was just delivered a couple of days ago from the Apple Store Online. I then spent several hours on the phone, mostly on hold, but sometimes transferred in a closed loop from Customer Support to Tech Support and back to Customer Support. Sadly, the case number I was given by a rep (the third one I spoke to) isn't showing up as valid either. At this point I just want to return the MacBook (which I think I still can), but I can't reach anyone to arrange for this!

Big problem for me, But probably a small thing for experts...

Hello,
Bye the way this is my first telephony implementation after doing my Tisco-telephony-Certification last year. So I may be making mistakes in my config???
So, I managed to configure my telephony service good enough to receive calls and redirect them to one of my IP Phoses using "connection plar" command on my four voice-port. I can effectively place outside calls also. I then configured Unity Express using the wizard, and I believe that my config is good, but when I call to my telephony service (from an outside telephone), my auto-attendant is not responding, all my calls are still redirect to my IP phone mentionned with the "connection plar" command, as if the "connection plar" command have the priority on incomming calls. So I join the configuration of my router and the configuration of my unity express, so someone could tell me what I do wrong!
Thank you very much for helping me

Because you have FXO, connection-plar must stay. (FXO is very limiting, if you had ISDN BRI, you could do many more things).
Just change the number to a different one. Same number you also configure on CUE as pilot for your auto-attendand. Also configure a dial-peer voip with this number destination-pattern, ip address of CUE, protocol sipv2, codec g711u.
Alternatively, if you want to answer calls live, send them to a phone or hunt group, but forward-no answer to said number above. When nobody answers, CUE will take the call.

Choose not to transfer your information, and then create a new account with the original short name. If you previously created multiple accounts on the system, recreate them all in the same order they were initially created. None of your data will be erased.

Darwin/BSD problem: won't go back into OS X

I've seen a number of people have had this problem, but there aren't nearly as many solutions.
This is how it happened: I went to my computer, my firefox immediately crashed and then would not open, so I restarted and got a prompt screen saying "Darwin/BSD (michaels-powerbook-g4-15.local) (console).
This is the first I've ever heard of any sort of a command prompt on a Mac, until I googled the problem.
I am able to log in, I repaired the disk using some commands I read on a previous post on here (which I can't find, but I remember it was answered by a Michael C.), yet that did not work once I rebooted.
Basically, I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this without reinstalling OS X. I'm sure my CD is around the house somewhere but I wouldn't have a clue of where to start looking.
I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Dear Hatter:
You are a good and very knowlegeable person. All of your suggestions will undoubtedly fix the problem. I will have to bring my MacPro into my university so that they can help me to use your ideas. Meanwhile, since it appears that the helper earns points by helping the 'helpee'. I will give you 5 points (this helped me) right now, and another month you will get ten points after I bring the computer in.
Thanks again- robertglaser, Prof.

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1. However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind. Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways. iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... . Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
track and disc number fields for video media kinds
show and episode fields for music
description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI. There are couple of workarounds:
in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners. Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

Darwin/bsd problem

Hi,
I am having a problem with my iBook G4. I see many people having the same problem and read many of those threads but most people have a slighly different thing happening from mine. So here is mine.
After turning on mac you will see Apple logo with grey background with a wheel thing spinning.
Then blue background and spinning...... Black screen and white text that says
"Darwin/BSD (s-Computer.local)(console)"
login:
I type login(or whatever letter, seems like it doesn't matter what I type) and hit "Return".
It says "Password:" and I see a white cursor but I can't type anything..... Only thing that I can do is hit Reurn but then it turns into blue screen and comes back to black screen again.
Having read other people's post on this forum I tried to do the same thing like "Command＋S", "Command＋C"...... or fsck...? I am sorry I really don't know what these things are doing but at least I am trying to get a grasp of what is going on but I gave up. Is
Fortunately I had another computer so I ended up on this forum. Obviuosly I like to know how to get out of this but another question is "Is it possible to transfer all of the data from this iBook to the computer I am using now?" I have a firewire cable but since iBook is not moving, you cannot transfer data?
Any help would be appreciated......

Thank you very much Niel.
I thought in order to do that I turn on my desktop one (the one I am using now) with T held on? I was doing that and yellow sign was flashing. I waited, waiited for maybe 20 min and it didn't go anywhere from that blue screen with yellow sign still flashing. So I thought maybe I was not doing right thing. Or does it take that long to transfer?
Thank you again.

I dropped my ipod5 on a stone table (really hard) and the color (little part) came off! It's not a big problem but I just got it not long time ago. Can Apple repaire it? Will it be free? P.s. That part it's like 1mmX1mm not big, but I just want to know.

Like I say I'm the title... A little part "colour" on my iPod5 came off after I dropped my iPod on a stone table.
I just want to know that can Apple repair it or it doesn't count on the guarantee? It's not a big problem but I just got it few month ago...It's brand new! Do that's why I'm curious..:) and if they can repair... Will it gonna be free?

When you get your iPod repaired / replaced... do yourself a favor, spend a few more bucks and but a case, like a Lifeproof or Griffin Survivor. Both cover the entire iPod and offer protection against drops and falls, weather, sand, dust, etc. and will at least minimize if not prevent damage to your iPod. Good luck.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.

I have a big problem, I don't know what I touched but when I open up my iTunes I can't see all the icons. The only icons showing are "podcast, iTunes U and Downloads" so in other words I can't find the movies, music etc. Which means I can't buy/rent!

Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599
Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?
