Can somebody please help me? I'm having trouble with Mac OS X Lion.
Ok so, I left my screen-saver on all night, without the adapter plugged and it had died over night, I thought since it would just die on its own it won't be as bad...but when I tried to restart it, it was stuck on the apple icon and continuously kept loading. So I grabbed my phone and looked up how to recover my Mac and in which it worked, bringing me to the Utility Panel. But now, I want to reinstall Mac OS X Lion, but it won't allow me, because my files are too full and I can't get back on my homepage, to delete them by the Start up disk. So, how can I delete all the files and re-boot Mac OS X Lion? Or how can I safely back up my files or more "free spacing"? I don't have an extra hard drive disk or anything. So I was just thinking about completely re-starting everything. 0 files for everything. So, someone please, please help! This is really getting on my last nerve /:
Without a backup drive to use you can only free up space by deleting files:
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
See Lion's Storage Display.
You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
Remember that must moving files into the Trash does not delete them completely. You must also Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
Beyond that you can install from scratch:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can anyone please help me, I'm having problems with sound while watching video clips using flash player & Internet Explorer
There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

Can somebody please help? I'm having wireless issues.
Hey guys, I've had my Macbook since January, and for the first couple months, the wireless ran fine, and then something happened. I'm not really sure what, but all of a sudden, my wireless just became inconsistent. I've always been able to connect to the internet (for the most part), but it's just very slow at times. Sometimes it's fine, and with a lot of sites, it's pretty good. But with some sites, notably Facebook and Youtube, it's very very slow. And with youtube, videos never fully load all the way, they load in chunks.
However, my internet and everything runs lightning fast whenever I plug my Macbook directly into our router. So it seems to just be a problem with the wireless. If it were convenient, I'd have this thing plugged into the router all the time. It runs so much better.
Can anybody relate or have any suggestions? Thanks.This sounds like the problem I've been having. Just a few days ago I started to have problems with my wireless connection such as accessing Facebook. For example, I can access the Facebook login page, but after I enter my login and password, the website is stuck...waiting for facebook. For the record, my ISP is Comcast with a Linksys WCG200-CC Wireless router. I reset the router and even contacted Comcast and Linksys to reset the router and reconfigure my wireless connection. The problem has not improved, however, when directly connecting my MacBook to the router via an ethernet cable, my internet connect is fine and very fast.
To try a different router, I took my laptop to work which uses Verizon DSL and connected to their wireless network and experienced no problems. I could access Facebook.
Also, I tried connecting to my Linksys router using my iMac desktop which has the Mac OSX 10.4.11 and had no problems.
If someone has suggestions how to fix this problem, please help. It is frustrating to have wireless and not be able to use it. -
Please help me out im having trouble with my touch. :)
I have a Ipod touch and I downloaded all the music and synced it with my friends computer, now i have my own computer and i was wondering if its possible to have all the songs off the touch saved to my itunes? If you know what to do please dumb down the directions because i am very bad with technology.
If you have a blackberry plan, BBM should work fine without wifi. Could be an error with your carrier.
Try a hard reboot by pressing and holding alt + right shift + del (or a battery pull.
The other option if that doesnt work, is to reinstall the software. (this should not erase contacts, but copy em just incase)
If none works, contact your service provider.
Good Luck! -
I'm having trouble with my macbook pro, I have only had it for three months, when I plugged a camera sd card into the sd slot it isn't appearing anywhere on the computer and i can not access my photographs. can somebody please help me?

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread. -
Hello iv just recently transferred 3600 photos to my phone from my laptop. But when i go to upload a picture to facebook it only seems to go to my camera roll to choose a picture not my 3600 pictures.
can somebody please help :-(I am having same issue! After May 14 FB update, I can't choose ANY photos from my photo library to upload to FB mobile. It's ONLY allowing me to select from Camera Roll. It works from ipad and ipod, just not iphone 5? I used to get choices from all of my photos in Photo Library. And it has nothing to do with the privacy settings, etc that users experienced with update to IOS6. Everything is enabled and WAS working prior to may14 FB app update. Funny thing is, on the May 13 update that FB had it worked fine. When they did May 14 update, that was it. I've sent and posted notices on those discussion boards too. Hopefully they will fix soon.

when i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please help me?
Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed -
I am unable to update, uninstall, or reinstall iTunes on my laptop. Everything was working fine until recently when there was an update available for iTunes, and when I tried to update this, I got the message, "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. Error code is 2330." Can somebody please help me?
System configuration:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits.
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Directory: C:\Windows\system32
RAM: 1.00 GB.For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I just want to know that if I buy an iphone 4S here in melbourne can i use it in china?
i don`t know whether it`s locked or not and i don`t know what`s the network in china as well.
Can somebody please help？
I am really in a hurry to know it.
Thanks a lot.
P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
Regards.

I need some help with my java game using applets, CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP
Hi,
I am in the process of creating a RPG program using Java. I am not very experienced with java, however the problem i am currently facing is something i can't seem to figure out. I would like to draw a simple grid where a character (indicated by a filled circle) moves around this grid collecting items (indicated by a red rectangle). When the character moves on top of the grid with the item, i would like it to disappear. Right now i am not worrying about the fact that the item will reappear after the character moves away again, because sometimes, when the character moves over the item, nothing happens/another item disappears. i have been at this for 4 days and still cannot figure out what is goign on. can somebody please help me? it would be most appreciated.
Thanks
PS if i needed to send you my code, how do i do it?Thank you for replying.
The thing is, I am taking java as a course, and it is necessary for me to start off this way (this is for my summative evaluation). i agree with you on the fact, however, that i should go in small steps. i have been doing that until this point, and my frustration caused me to jump around randomly for an answer. I also think that it may just be a bug, but i have no clue as to how to fix it, as i need to show my teacher at least a part of what i was doing by sometime next week.

I'm not able to download apps from App Store. It never downloads and it shows waiting status.can somebody please help me resolve this issue
I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again. -

This is the first time I've put a computer together from scratch (I got some help from a friend though). What I wonder is if there is a manual for the MSI mothercards somewhere on the net because I didn't get any good description in the package, and I can't find the spot for audi and USB inputs. I also would like to know how many memorysticks i can use, because if i put in 3 of them the computer starts to beep. Can somebody please help me?
My specs are:
Q-tec midi Tower
MSI K8N Neo2-FX, nForce3
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz socket 939
Zalman P4 CNPS-7700-CU

Sony DVD burner DL
Sony floppydisk

Congrats on 'Rolling your Own' for the first time. I'm certainly no expert although I have sucessfully built a few. Actually, my specs are almost identical except I'm using Kingston Value Ram instead of Cosair. As far as your first question, I assume you mean the internal USB/MB connectors and the MB audio connector(s). The information is in the MSI Neo2 Plat manual although you have to look closely and move back and forth between the MB schemaic and the section(s) describing the connections to get a clear fix. The MB USB connectors are on the side of the MB furthest from the RAM slots and about in the center, (JUSB1 or JUSB2). The audio connector (JAUD1 is located on the same side of the MB as the USB connectors only near the rear panel end, (close to the orange PCI slot). As you, I found that that I could not use three ram sticks as I could in my old K7 board and when I bought two sets of matched ram I found that it didn't like 4 sticks either. Three: Would'nt post Four: Instability and an initial hit in performance; although I was able to finally coax it to 200mhz Dual Channel it wasn't worth it because of the random crashes n Windows I was getting. I have also discovered the hard way that for some reason my board at least is hypersensitive to IDE cables, (Would not recognize any secondary IDE device on Channel 1 until I found the right cable) and it does not like Sound Blaster audio cards prior to Audigy 2 ZS. Actually, it only tolerates a ZS and I had problems and it didn't like my new X-Fi at all until I moved it to the PCI slot closest to my video card. I was getting random BSODS and crashes, (one that took out my OS). Since I move the card things appear to be more stable, so far. Anyway good luck.
