Data that ships with the game

I'm comfortable with "shared objects" for saving hi scores and progress in a game, but what if I need to create a series of preset data files that ship with the game?
I'm working on a large project that will involve a lot of data entry and I need to save lots of values to a file that the game will still have access to once it's installed on a mobile device.
Hopefully it's not that much more complicated???

I resolved this by writing to a text file which is "included" in the package and then parsed based on commas using the helpful "Split()" function.

Copy of install disks that shipped with the G5?

My iMac boots with the chime, gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it, but then hangs. I assume I need to re-install the system. However, with the moves we've made, I find that I can't locate the install disks.
Any help on where I can locate copies of the appropriate disks?

Your welcome and thank you for the star.Did you lose the Applications disc too, unless you have upgraded to iLife 09 or iLife 11 getting that disc is a good idea.

Are original installer disk images available to replace the disks that shipped with my iMac?

I have a late 2009 27" quad core i5 iMac but I don't have the restore disks that shipped with the computer. Are there replacement options available?
Thank you

YUP!
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Lightning to 30 pin adapter with a lightning end is the same size as the cable that comes with the phone?

Has anyone found a lightning to 30 pin adapter where the lightning end is the same size as the cable that comes with the phone? I know there have been some non-apple versions, but I can't tell if they are the same as the Apple versions where the lightnin end is slightly bigger than the cabe that ships with the phone. Most iPhone bumpers only accomodate the original charing cabe ad the adapter cable is just slighter bigger and doesnt fit. Also, i'm not referring to the square, cable-less adapter.

Depending on your caes I shaped mine carefully with a craft knife seems all the case manufacturers designed the cases for lightning cables but seemed blind to the adapter and it's likely use
Have you not seen the Apple adapter with .2m cable between the plugs

will do what you want ,I use one in exactly same scenario

Lightening Cable that shipped with iPhone5 now not certified

Since upgrading to iOS7 charging the phone has become problematic.
I now get this warnng saying the cable or accesory is not certified this is the Lightening Cable that shipped with the iPhone so it would have a certified chip.
If I move the cable charger & phone to a different power point this sometimes allows charging.
I have a couple of questions that arrise having read about these glitches.
Is it possible that the certified chip has somehow been burnt out (possible in the iOS 7 upgrade)?
I have read that now the Lightening connector is now handed(as a result of iOS7) so there is now a right way up?
One persons solution is to pull the cable up firmly to the left side front and hold the cable in place with an elastic band whilst charging .
I do not expect to have to jiggle cables and change to different power outlets to enable charging firstly changing wall sockets in a newly rewired house would point more at a poor connection with the Lightening plug & socket.
There has also been suggestions that the socket in the iPhone can become restricted through lint (fluff) it sounds posible but why should this rear its head after the instalation of iOS7?
Were this the case then surley the cable would not be seen at all so there would be no chance of receiving a message informing me that my Apple Lightening cable (as supplied with the phone ) is not autherized ?
So is the autherization chip overly sensative to the effects of a reboot after the iOS7 upgrade and the succesive ones since and has become corrupted?
This Lightening cable issue is most tiresome having to waste time just to charge the phone daily & then I have the prospect of spending up to half a day getting to the Apple Store to see if this can be resoved .
Is this genuine Lightening cable(not been recognised) issue caused by iOS7 or the result of dirt in the socket preventing charging .
Assuming that the issue has been caused by a worthy idea of protecting the user from injury from non Apple accesories with a clever tweek to the iOS an immenant fix lke yesterday would be good .
I am not used to this from Apple products (they simple work) and hope that this is resolved rapidly since I am getting to feel like throwing my iPhone out of a high window or beating it with a large hammer .

The most likely cause is dirt in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Look in it with a good light and a magnifying glass. If you see any lint or other dirt clean it with a wooden toothpick.
After that, I would suspect the cable.

Car charger that works with the bumper case?

Does anyone know which, if any, brands of car chargers and models that work with the new bumper case? I went to best buy yesterday and they all looked too thick to even buy it and give it a try.

I'm pretty sure the lack of functionality with car chargers and the bumper case is simply because the cutouts for the USB connector on the bumper is too small..that's the only reason. Otherwise it will work; it's simply a physical problem with the connector not seating properly; that's it.
I'm saying this based on my own situation. I have a Griffin car charger /FM receiver that worked with my iPhone 3G and it worked with my iPhone 4 until I put the bumper case on.
The situation is the same situation as to why the Apple supplied USB cable that shipped with the 3G does not work with the iPhone 4 w/bumper. Apple redesigned the size of the USB connector and sized the cutout on the bumper for their new smaller size making the bumper not backwards compatible with existing devices with the older size USB connectors. The size differential is not that big but it's big enough to cause problems.

How do I change the apple id on the copy of Lion that shipped with my Macbook Pro?

I've inherited a Macbook Pro that shipped with Lion installed. The app store is showing three updates for iPhoto, GarageBand, and iMovie. When I try to update them it request the password for the Apple ID for the person who set up the Macbook. These apps came with Lion which came with the Macbook. I could reload the OS but that would wipe out my configuration. How can I change the Apple ID to reflect me as the new owner so I can update the apps included with Lion? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If you know the seller, then maybe it can be done; according to the licensing agreement, if you sell/gift a Mac which came with Lion preinstalled, you are allowed to make a one time transfer of your software license. That would involve a call to Apple (I've not had to do this, but I've read that you need to call Apple and explain that you wish to transfer the Lion license from xxxxx to xxxxxx - don't know if it involves name/address or any other info). So, if your seller is willing to do this, and Apple re-registers the MBP in your name, you shouldn't have to do anything. You may want to check into this because it also may play a role when there is an OS update - not sure that you'll be able to get that with your different Apple ID.

I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

HT201257 Hi -- I have a late 2011 13" macbook pro that shipped with and runs Lion. Unfortunately, I do not have the install disks with me. Holding down D key does nothing. What can I do?

How can I run the hardware test on a macbook pro that SHIPPED with lion (never had an earlier OS) without access to the install disks? I am away from them and home for several months. Holding down the D key does nothing.

Press "Option" and "D" key together.
"Restart your computer, holding down the “D” key while the computer restarts.After your computer restarts, you should see the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen. If you don’t, Apple Hardware Test may not be available on your computer. You may be able to start Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Reconnect your computer to the network, and then restart your computer while holding down both the Option and “D” keys."

I backed up my new iPod touch with data from my old one. This seems to have erased all the new apps that came with the new iPod. What do I do now?

I got a new iPod Touch today. I wanted to transfer all my apps and data over to the new iPod from my old one, so I restored it from my old one. Unfortunately, it seems to have erased the new apps that come with the latest iPod. What do I do to get the back?

Maybe I'm confusing apps with function. I was looking at the features on Apple's site, and it showed Voice Control, Air Print, Air Play, that sort of thing.

Error -10609 -- even with example that ships with LV 7.0

I'm getting error -10609 ("A transfer is already in progress for the specified resource...") at AI Control from the error out cluster of AI Start. I tried running the example called Cont Acq&Graph (buffered).vi that ships with LabVIEW 7.0, and I get the same error at the same place, so I know it's not my code. I also tried rebooting the computer and power cycling the hardware, and the error still shows up on the very first attempt to run. I have no other processes running.
I have multifunction DAQ PCI-6052E and an SCXI-1001 chassis with 2 SCXI-1100 modules and 2 SCXI-1102 modules.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Iflash,
This error will sometimes occur during debugging of a data acquisition program. What happens is that when you start an operation and then terminate the program prematurely using the Abort button the process could still be running on the DAQ board.
The best way to avoid this is to reset the board. There are several ways to do this. The easiest is to run the Device Reset VI in LabVIEW. You will just need to wire up the device number and run the VI. Another option is to go into Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and run the test panels on the device. It will error the first time but if you close the test panel and run it again it should be fine. Finally, in MAX 3.0, there should be a Reset button that you can access from the Devices and I
nterfaces >> DAQmx devices.
Anyway, hope that helps. Have a good day.

Welcome to AD!
I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

When did Snow Leopard start shipping with the 15" Macbook Pros?

I got a 15" Macbook Pro at Christmas (purchased just a few weeks before, straight from apple.com, not refurbished or anything), only to realize it didn't have Snow Leopard on it, just Leopard. I have version 10.5.8 right now, and I think that's what it came with, I don't believe I had updated it. I was reading this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11294485&#11294485 and was just kind of curious about it all. Should I have gotten Snow Leopard with my laptop?
I don't know how to find my model number. If anyone can tell me I would gladly update my information.

Glad you still have the box, ellory!
We've seen some users here who have simply thrown the discs out with the packaging!
The discs themselves can be worth their weight in gold (especially the grey ones that normally ship with the computer). Many people don't realise that they will need them if they ever want to restore not just the OS, but the additional software that came with their computer, and to run the Apple Hardware Test for their specific model.
Many more knowledgeable buyers of second hand Macs , in fact, won't buy one that is sold without these discs unless the seller is prepared to knock a couple of hundred dollars off the price for the inconvenience and cost of having to obtain replacements.
When you find them, stick them in a very safe place!
If it came with a snow leopard "drop in" then it will be in a separate illustrated Snow Leopard cardboard sleeve. The grey discs will probably be in a black cardboard folder. It is quite possible that these will actually have snow leopard on them, even if Leopard was pre-installed and you don't have a separate "slip in", given the date of purchase.

Droid RAZR HD won't charge with either cable that came with the new phone.

My RAZR HD will not charge using either of the USB charging cords that came with the phone and I have tried several different USB/wall type adapters. I have to use a generic charger (not a USB cord, just a straight outlet to phone type). The data cable that connects the phone to my laptop works so it doesn't seem like it is a connection problem. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Thank you for the reply. After much trial and error I finally discovered
that the USB/outlet adapter cannot be plugged into any type of outlet
adapter (like converting two outlets to 4 or 6 in a wall outlet), extension
cord, or power strip/bar to function. It must be plugged directly into the
wall socket (or computer) in order to charge.

The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week. I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer. I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made. I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either. How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?

Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild. Isn't the technical era great.
Backup, backup, backup
As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
More backup copies are even better.
Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.
