Can sombody please explain .DMG files to me?
Hi I have got varios .DMG icons on my desktop which relate to various programmes such as google earth, Messenger, Security and OSX updates from ages ago Etc.
Whats the deal with these? Can they be Deleted or will that remover the programme/update(i'm trying to keep my desktop clean and tidy!)
I'm also trying to prepare my mac for a tiget upgrade (from 10.3.9) and want to make sure there is as little chance of it gpoing wrong as possible.
I run mac janitor each week and i'll do a disc repair before and after the install. I'll also be burning all of my important files (pictures and i tunes library) to DVD'S. Just in case. Anything else i should be aware of?

'If' you install Google Earth on your machine, then it is indeed installed as a program. But you must install it. Merely downloading it, or any other program, to your desktop, whether as a disk image, or in some other format, is not the same as installing it.
Once a program is installed, you can indeed remove the .dmg file from your desktop exactly as 'roam' recommends.
As far as updating with the 10.3.9 combo, you must install it ie run the update. Just putting it in your applications folder will not do the trick. I would take it out of the applications folder, put it on the desktop, run it from there by following the instructions and then dump the .dmg file once the update is installed.
You should quit all applications before installing the update and will almost certainly have to restart your Mac once the update is complete. Some people also repair disk permissions using Disk Utility after installing new software.
Good luck.

Hi guys, can you please explain how to perform automatic system scan with CleanApp - it looks like it wants me to manually chose files to delete and I just want an automatic scan (like cleanmymac does)
Slowness...First Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions. No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

I recently migrated from a MBP with OS 10.6 to a MCB with OS 10.8. Some glitches are popping up. Here's the one on my mind at the moment:
When saving or opening documents, I get a warning such as: "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume." Can someone please explain?Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.

Can anyone please explain this code to me?
I am a new (junior)programmer?Can anyone please explain this code to me in lame terms? I am working at a client location and found this code in a project.
_file name is AtccJndiTemplate.java_

return this.jndiProperties;
public void setJndiProperties(String jndiProperties)
this.jndiProperties = jndiProperties;
}Hi,
JNDI needs some property such as the
java.naming.factory.initial
java.naming.provider.url
which are needed by the
InitialContext(env);
where env is a properties object
Now if you can not find the physical property file on the class path
by AtccJndiTemplate.class.getResourceAsStream(this.jndiProperties);
where the String "jndiProperties" get injected by certain IOC ( inverse of control container ) such as Spring framework
if not found then it will take the property from the system which will come from the evniromental variables which are set during the application start up i.e through the command line
java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory -Danother=value etc..
I hope this could help

I can't install any dmg files and I can't find CoreService nor DiskImageMounter under Library order neither. I think they're missing.
Please Help.They should come up when you double click on the DMG file.
If you are getting a terminal windows when you double click on a DMG file then something has switched the Default program from Installer.app and or DiskImageMounter.app to terminal.
Right click on the DMG and select Get Info. In the windows that comes up find the Open with section then select DiskImageMounter.app and click Change All.
Both DiskImageMounter.app and Installer.app are in /System/Library/CoreServices. But that folder may be hidden. So you will need to use the Go Menu item "Go to Folder" and type in what I posted above to find it. -

Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I fix this? I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work. My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should. Any advise would be appreciated.

I am using elements 10 and only getting audio not video. Can anyone please explain why? I am a total newbie to video.

Just saw your thread, and it looked like a candidate for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce Roll Back the Driver issue. If your computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card, then the following applies to you. You do not want to update the driver. Rather you want to roll back the driver version, probably to about May 2013. For your convenience I have done a copy/paste of the forum announcement which gives all the details and fix of the matter.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
This matter has been very specific to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce card user. So, if your computer is using other than a NVIDIA GeForce card, it is likely that the message does not apply to you, and we can then explore other troubleshooting possibities.
Looking forward to your follow up. Do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written here.
Thanks.

Can you please explain how this query is fetching the rows?
here is a query to find the top 3 salaries. But the thing is that i am now able to understand how its working to get the correct data :How the data in the alias table P1 and P2 getting compared. Can you please explain in some steps.
SELECT MIN(P1.SAL) FROM PSAL P1, PSAL P2
WHERE P1.SAL >= P2.SAL
GROUP BY P2.SAL

test@ora>
test@ora>This query joins PSAL with itself using a non equi-join. Take each row of PSAL p1 and see how it compares with PSAL p2. You'll see that:
- Row 1 with sal 1000 is >= to all sal values of p2, so it occurs 8 times
- Row 2 with sal 900 is >= to 9 sal values of p2, so it occurs 7 times
- Row 3: 7 times again... and so on.
- So, total no. of rows are: 8 + 7 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 43

You will need either an Ethernet or Wifi Connection to the Internet - USB Mobile device is not supported.
If you already have Lion installed you can boot to Recovery with Command R and use the Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD and then reinstall the OS from the Mac OS X Utilities.
You will need the Apple Id used for purchase if the Mac did not ship with Lion installed originally.
If you want to repartition the HDD you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant to make a recovery USB drive

As Always - Back up the Mac before erasing unless you are confident there is absolutely nothing on the mac that you might possibly need later.
If the machine is a 2011 build or later you might be able to boot to Internet Recovery with Command Option R -
what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.
1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.
