Files with ByteOrder Mark

Hi Guys
The source files are coming with Byte Order Mark (BOM). Because of this the Header Key field value is not being detected and the mapping fails.Is there a way to get rid of this BOM?
Thanks!

Hi
Pls check the following threads for BOM

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

My Mac shows file with question mark, what now.

Press the power button down to force a emergency use only hardware shutdown.
Press and hold the Option/alt key on the built in keyboard, boot the machine.
If MacintoshHD appears, select it and click the arrow, then in System Preferences > Startup Disk reset that. Done.
Sometimes a NVRAM reset is required then the above done again.

You might need this if you don't have a recent backup and your problem is software related, Disk Utiltiy can't fix the drive and recommends you backup, erase and install.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
If Disk Utility + Hardware Test shows no boot drive, then you have a dead drive or cable, or Mac issue.

Ipod Nano shows file with exclaimation mark!

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas! Can anyone help me before she gets up in the morning to find it not working!
The screen shows the file with exclaimation mark. I have followed all the 5R advice on the apple site. All my software is bang up to date on my G4 powerbook - even loaded the software disc onto my imac and installed the software successfully. Neither computer will mount the ipod - itunes won't open automatically. If I open it manually it doesn't see the nano! I have tried restore using the ipod software updater on both computers. Each time it freezes!
Can anyone help - emergency!

After that is done, restart in the usual way.

File with exclamation mark and cannot connect

My ipod stopped working. I had a low battery so I charged it. Now when I try to turn it on, it just churns and churns and then the file with exclamation mark comes on the screen. Also, when I try to connect it to my computer, the computer doesn't recognize it.

Unbelieveable, since last Saturday, I needed to fix up 3 iPods with similar problems from family members and friends, 2 connected with PC and 1 with Mac. I guess it will be a good idea if I can share with you all and hope that it can give you some hints when you try to fix yours before sending it for repairing.
Before you do anything I suggest that you should read the following carefully..
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/index.html
Most problems came from the iPod not being recongzied by the computer (mainly PC and I find it less often with Mac). Second issue is iPod not being charged for quite some time.
I must say that I am not an expert but I did learn something during the past experience on fixing for more than 10 iPods but none of them are shuffle.
The first thing you need to do is plug your iPod directly to the AC charger not the USB of your computer, and leave it for 2-3 hours and most of the time you will able to wake up your iPod.
Secondly, do a reset of your iPod when it hangs, it is simple just press "Select"+"Menu" keys, which will not erase your data of your iPod.
In case the above both do not manage to fix your iPod problem then you may force to do the following, but it will erase all your data therefore it is always to be wise to have a backup before your iPod got problem.
1. Reinstall the latest iPod updater after the reset
If 1 still not able to recongize your iPod by the computer then you have to put your iPod to DiskMode i.e. plug your iPod to the AC charges, do a RESET and press "Select"+"Play" keys, you will see the message "Disk Mode" in few sec. Then you need to connect your iPod with your computer, and hope that it will be recongized. If you are lucky to reach this stage then you simply need to restore your iPod updater, and your iPod should be back to normal.Please note that You may need to plug and unplug few times in order to let your iPod to be recongized.
If your iPod still not able to be recongized then you have to format your iPod while it is in a Disk Mode, you need to use the Disk Utility software (for Mac - I am not sure about PC) to erase the Partition of your iPod then do a formatting and disk verify straight after. Then you should able to reach the final stage i.e. restore the latest iPod updater and sysc your iPod with your iTune.
Additional hints which may help your during the fixing ..
1. Try to do few attempts, which could take you as long as 1 hour
2. Try to exchange cables to connect with your computer i.e. USB and Firewire
3. If you fail to solve your iPod with your PC then try to fix it with Mac and vice versa. Surprisingly, I do have experience that the iPod got recognized by my Mac after I connected it with a PC
Above are my experience and I am glad that more than 90% chance I am able to solve the iPods' problem with only one iPod Mini needed to be repaired.
Good luck and hope it works in your case

What can i do when i get a get a file with question mark on it during start up?

i was working on my computer when i froze up i had the spinning wheel would not do anything so i turned it off and back on. when it cam back on it was just a grey screen with a flashing file with a question mark on it. What does this mean? is my computer done?

The advice Carolyn points out is sound, and hopefully it will work, but Apple needs to add some caveats to some of their "pointers" to resolving problems. If the system was working, you shut it off, then turned it on some time later and the problems emerged, the odds of it being a PRAM problem are good. For it to crash on you outright implies either an indexing problem or a problem with the hard drive or cables. In step 11, Apple should have added the phrase to zero the drive with Disk Utility prior to re-installing the operating system in the event a bad sector has developed on the drive because that would re-map the bad sectors to good, spare sectors. If it's yet another SATA cable problem, all bets are off. You'll continue to get what appears to be file corruption and problems, and it won't be consistent. If the problem is due to an actual surface failure on the drive then even though it might be fixable, you might want to consider replacing the drive.
The only product on the market that can test for bad cables and bad sectors is Scannerz, and you might not even be able to use that if you can't even boot your system. When they added Phoenix to the Scannerz package I originally thought it was just to make TechTool Pro look bad, but now it makes perfect sense - you could boot off of a so called Phoenix volume and test the system and boot it independently of the internal hard drive and the internal cables, allowing you to isolate the problem.
I would follow the advice in Carolyn's linked article up to step 11. If you get to that point, prior to re-installing the OS, use the Security Options settings in Disk Utility and zero the drive to correct (re-map) bad sectors. With luck this will be a relatively simple fix. With bad luck it will be the cable, which will cause problems down the line that will get worse and worse.

On boot-Receiving flashing file with question mark

Please help. Last night while on my mac it froze. I turned it off, turned it on and now I get a blank screen with no noise from the hard drive except for a small clicking noise. Then the blank screen shows me a flashing picture of a file with a question mark. No apple logo or anything else. I reset the PRAM and SMC settings, but no joy. And don't advise to try putting in the startup disk, as the ability of my mac to read cd's and DVD's stopped last month. It just spits out discs after failing to even spin them. This with my built in iSight camera dying after 1 month of purchase made me think that I was on downhill slope to it dying. Ive only had it a year and a half, after buying because of my old iBook dying. I really hope I do not have to buy another apple mac laptop, which would make it 3 in 5-6 years. Im hoping there is another method of fixing it myself rather than getting it repaired because I know I will be charged €500+ with all the problems I have and seems logical to just buy another one. Hoping someone will answer my problem!

Thats great. Thanks for the guide on replacing the drive. Looks easy enough. Ive just bought that Torx 8 screw driver for a few dollars online and im looking up 2.5" SATA drives now.
Could you or anyone advise me on drives? I really havnt got a clue as to if im looking at pc only drives or they are all mac compatable. (The links i am using will service me in Ireland) I have a few good sites but i want to make sure that I have the right drive for my mac. I have the 13" Macbook 1st generation. Im looking at a few drives from these sites, with these particular drives:
http://www.jigsaw24.com/default.aspx?ITEM=JIGSX632ANA&AD=Y
http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=343402
http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=341973
http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/719219/art/samsung/hm16hji-hybrid-hard-drive.html.
I am hoping that someone could look these over and advise me if any, or all would work on my macbook. If so, i will buy one asap.
ALSO, as mentioned. I was thinking of getting an optical drive. My now broken one, was a standard cd-rom drive which played dvds(Combo Drive). I want to now buy an optical drive that can burn dvds(As advertised on apple.com: "Superdrive"). Is there technical limitations by fitting one of these into my macbook?
Thanks again for your advice everyone.

Ipod photo show up only the picture of file with exclamtion mark :( please help

I'm using ipod phot and I couldn't use after I format all the things in my ipod.
It show up the picture of the file with the exclamation mark
I did charge over night but still can't use...
However when I plug in with my mac it show up DO NOT DISCONNECT
but it's not show up on itunes.. it's only show up on desktop and write NO NAME
I tried to restart many times already but it still the same...
Please helpp

See here: iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
One you worth trying is to manually force the iPod into Disk Mode . This may the iPod at least mount as an external drive on your PC or Mac. If it does, I would try a low level format of the device to help try and correct and drive errors. See this article for instructions on reformatting the iPod using either Windows or a Mac.

TS3423 17" macbook pro won't start blue file with question mark is all that appears on the screen

My old macbook pro will not start up. Worked fine yesterday, today all I gat is the startup sound and a blank blue screen. After a while the screen shows a file folder icon with a question mark in it. Any ideas

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot From 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.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Error code 1007F after file with question mark?!

I have a 13 inch MacBook pro which is just over a year old. For the past week or so it hasnt been connecting to my university wifi network, eduroam. Then this morning, when it started up, I received a blank screen with a question mark flashing, which I know is an error with startup. I followed advice on here and got to the Internet recovery stage. I got past that and had to wipe my hard drive, and was in the process of reinstalling OS X Mavericks when I lost connection (it was tethered to my phone as eduroam wasn't working). I have since rebooted but when I get to the internet recovery stage I am receiving error code -1007F. None of the advice so far on here has worked. Please help?! (And please note that I am a 19 year old who has very little technical knowledge)

First, you need to get a reliable Internet connection, preferably Ethernet.
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

File with question mark

I turned my laptop off last night and for a very long time when i turned it on I only got a blank white screen, since then the apple appeared but nothing further. I turned it off again and suddenly there was a file box with a question mark on it. I've turned it on and off a few times but I either get a blank screen or the file again...anyone know why? Or how to fix it? Please?!

Read this and perform what is says to do:

My macbook pro when started has a white screen with flashing apple, file with question mark and stop signs...any ideas how to reboot it? command R doesn't work

Any help appreciated please.
After a while of being like this is turns off.

You may have to reset your MBP PRAM:

The boot drive may need repair in Disk Utility>First Aid (verify and repair)
Critical system files may be damaged which will require that the OS may need to be reinstalled.
The connection to the boot drive is faulty.
The HDD has failed and needs to be replaced.
Ciao.

My mac book is flashing a grey file with a question mark does any one know what this could be?

my mac book is flashing a grey file with aQuestion mark in it what does that mean does anyone know?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the hard drive data is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the optical drive.
Once it has finished booting and you are at the Install screen launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then select the First Aid Tab run Repair Disk and if that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

UTF-8 files with BOM chrashes DOMParser?

Hi.
We are storing XML-documents in an 8i databse with UTF-8 encoding (in CLOBS).
Problem: If the Unicode XML-document contains a BOM the oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser's
parse()-method throws an exception.
I get the following output when using the ParseXMLFromURL.java class supplied in JDeveloper 3.2 samples directory:
Sample output >>>>
System Output: XML parse error in file http://localhost/UTF-8_With_BOM.xml
System Output: at line 1, character 1
System Output: Start of root element expected.
<<<<<<< Sample output
If I change the XML-file not to include a BOM the parser works fine.
(I set/unset the BOM using EmEditor from http://www.emurasoft.com/ if you'd like to try for yourselves).
To me it looks like DOMParser interprets the BOM at the start of the XML-file as XML-content instead of a Unicode signature.
IE 5.5 can handle both formats, shouldn't DOMParse also be able to handle that?
Any ideas how I can get DOMParse to work with UTF-8(BOM) XML-files?
Regards,
Jan-Erik
Sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?>
<newsdoc>
<news>
<newstitle>
Document contains no BOM
</newstitle>
<introduction>
See http://www.unicode.org/unicode/faq/utf_bom.html for info on BOM
</introduction>
</news>
</newsdoc>
null

I have the same problem when trying to store UTF-8 encoded XML files with BOM marks in iFS version 1.1.9.0.7.
The database is 8.1.7.1.1 created with UTF-8 charset.
I have loaded the XDK for PLSQL 9.0.2.0.0A into the database and replaced the original %ORACLE_HOME%\lib\xmlparserv2.jar with the one distributed in this XDK.
I get the following error message:
Wed Aug 01 10:10:06 GMT+02:00 2001: \public\CV-Bank\CV_Patrik_Johansson_intDTD_BOM.xml:
