File with ? Flashing on start up. Urgent help please.

Good afternoon.
I Hope you can help as I'm getting really stressed out, I have read a few threads and although I'm not completely blind when it comes to computers this is a little beyond me.
on start up I have a file icon with a question mark in the centre flashing. I believe this is because a file can not be found or a hard drive error.
my MacBook is 2011 and I'm running on Yosemite, any other information you need?
i Have started up using command and R.
LOgged in in to my wifi and gained access to the disk utility.
on that I am faced in the left hand pane with an orange icon (Mac os x base system)
I can verify the disk - this tells me "the volume mac os x base system appears to be ok"
the "repair disk" tab is NOT highlighted.
in a real simple guide can anyone help me as I really can not loose what I have on the laptop And need it up and running asap?
thank you for your time

You need to run the Repair Disk command on your regular drive and not the Mac OS X Base System entry. If your internal drive doesn't show up in the list, it's either dead or has become physically connected; recovering data from a failed drive can only be done by a professional service, and those can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Issues with a email server migration - URGENT HELP PLEASE

Hi,
My online company uses TB and we recently changed our email server provider to resolve a serious problem we were having with the previous one. Both servers (old and new) are IMAP.
The problem is that since we have made this server migration we are having a lot of strange things happening on TB such as:
1. When I mark a email read I can no longer mark it as unread. I've tried to click on the little ball, to select 'Mark as unread' by clicking on the right side of the mouse, etc and nothing!
2. When I reply and forward an email the reply and forward arrow is not showing up so sometimes we don't know what emails have been done
3. Sometimes the emails are sent and don't show up in the sent folder. So we need to put our own email in BCC to be sure that they have been answered.
The guy who organised the server migration suggested us to move to outlook, but outlook is not resolving the problem either. On top of that it makes our computers as slow as snails. I'm on a free trial with outlook that will expire in two days and I want to go back to TB as I find it much easier and straight forward.
Has anyone have a similar issue? Can someone HELP please?
Many thanks in advance.

No clue on other issues Just remember that your old e-mails are not on your new server.

Flashing folder start-up. HELP PLEASE

Hey, so a few days I go I was using my MacBook Pro bought in June 2012 ( latest model), and while on safari it completely froze. Because of this I left it alone for about 30 mins, but I still had the multi coloured spinner spinning, so I decided to manual shut down my computer by holding down the power/shut off button on the right hand-side top corner. Later on I attempted to turn on my MacBook again, and the a flashing folder with a question mark appeared. So again i turned off manually using the power button. I stopped using my laptop for a few days hoping that it just needed to cool off for a bit. But surely, as I tried to turn it on again after not using for a few days the same flashing folder with the question mark appeared. I've looked online for some solutions and as a miracle I someone said to press down the shift button after turning it on before the grey screen, I did so and managed to log back in, in safe mode boot. While still in safe boot I went into system preferences -> start disk and selected which disk I wanted my MacBook to use when turning on. I then logged off and turned off my MacBook. Went back to turn it on a few minutes later and it was all in working order! So happy. However the next day I turned it on and the flashing folder with the question mark was up. I tried to do the shift old down thing again like last time but its not working!! Please help me I really need access to my laptop again!! Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! :)

That means the system can't find an Operating System to boot the computer from. More then likely your hard drive has died as if it was just the Mac OS X partition the system would boot to the Recovery HD partition automatically. But since that is not happening the drive is probably dead. Take it to an Apple store to be checked out and fixed under the warranty.

Hi
Can you tell me which version of dreamweaver you are using (and flash pro, if you have it), as the code you provided has element of a number of different versions (e.g. your js flash files are reasonably new, but your flash inserted into the html body is old, but with the cs3 version of flash player indicated!). Also the detect flash file is no longer required.

Update XML files with Flash

Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to insert or update
existing data of a XML file with flash?
And how can I do it?

This code have two procedures or functions the createXML is
called first this one asks for the variable send using get called
fileName (Append this variable to the page request). The function
called writeToFile opens the file and writes to it.
Form flash you need to create the xmlfile and call the
sendAndLoad method.

Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem

Hello,
I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
There is an example of implementation:
// the PlainData.as file
class PlainData extends LoadVars {
    function onData(str) {
        trace(str)
        this.onLoad(true);
// now in the main file
var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
(also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)

I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process. I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement. Can you help please?

I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process. I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement. Can you help please?

With regards to your .arw files:
You need to either purchase and install Lightroom 5.4 -- OR -- download and install and use the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4, did you actually launch and use the DNG Converter?
There should be no problem importing JPG files into Lightroom from your camera, what happens when you try? Is there an error message?

Load XML in intranet ? urgent help please...

Dear friends, I need urgent help: I have a CAYIN screen (which lets me display evetns, etc) and gives me the option of loading/displaying a FLASH (SWF) file, well, I need this SWF to load some XML data ("texto.xml") but seems that when the CAYIN program which executes flash, does not allow the SWF to find the XML in the same folder...
Then I tried many ways to load the XML file with no success till now. Some tries are :
obj_xml.load("\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("../media/texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("\\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("file:\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
obj_xml.load("..\\192.168.0.100\media\texto.xml")
I guess I am writting something wrong or forgetting something. Would anyone please help me ? because these files are in an internal server "192.168.0.100" (intranet).
Urgent help please, thanks in advance,

if the swf is in a directory with subdirectory media which contains texto.xml, use:
obj_xml.load("media/texto.xml")

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.
