Do any developers know please?, how can i get 'startup manager' to load without option key or reFit app?
Hello members (OS X developers)
Basically, as the subject title says it all really, i'd like to get my (intel) Macbook to boot into 'Startup Manager' without holding the option key, or, without using any third party software like 'reFIT', is there a way to alter some kind of OS X (sl) startup script.
I've posted this here, as i recon a 'developer' who knows the inner workings of OS X, and may have a clever way to do this.
Any help would be great.
kind regards
Livio
Slow, intermittent. Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair- this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using? -

You can't. There is no memory card. It uses flash memory that's soldered to the logic board. If you didn't back it up, your data is gone.

My iPad is disabled, but I know the passcode.. When i connect it to iTunes it says it can't access it because it has a passcode. How can i get rid of the passcode without resetting the iPad? And if there is no way to do so, how do I completely reset it?
How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac. -
Photoshop elements 9 was pre installed on my pc when I bought it and now it has been deleted, I don't have any serial number. How can I get it back?
Check the papers that came with your PC or the web site of the vendor. OEM versions are either on the recovery discs they provide or can be downloaded from their site.

how can i install AppRadio application...i am in Tunisia and the application is not found in the Tunisian AppStore...it's essensual for piloting my Pioneer SPH-D01 AppRadio....please how can i get this application ...thanks
If it's not available in the store in which you have your account, you're pretty much out of luck. In order to purchase from the U.S. iTunes Store you need a)a valid billing address in the U.S., b) a credit/debit card billed to that address or an iTunes prepaid card purchased in the U.S. and c) to be physically located in the U.S. at the time of purchase.

How can I get the list of drivers without getting popup message?
Every time the application gets to this line:
File[] roots = File.listRoots();
I get message box: "There is no disk in the drive.
Please insert disk into drive A:"
How can I get the list of drivers without getting
this message popup?I don't have a solution to this problem. However, it does occur and it is annoying. I am testing our application on 4 client machines. On three of them, it NEVER asks for the floppy disk. On the remaining one, it ALWAYS asks. I have looked on the computers and cannot find any configuration differences (in fact, these machines are kept in a "closed environment", and therefore, they are configured, by default, exactly the same).
Does anyone have any thoughts? -

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it -
Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?
If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished. -
