Follow up to earlier problem

Following on from my flashing question mark problem (see a few topics down)i have followed the instructions carolyn gave me up to the disk utility. When in disk utility i can only see the DVD media drive and the OS X installation CD, but not the hard drive which i normally repair.
Am i okay to install the OS X, or will this totally wipe my files? (photos, music, work) thanks for any help:)

    I need to reload some songs as the backup did not include all. Following this article. Problem is that download icon does not appear anywhere. Using iTunes 11.01. Anybody seen this before?

    Steve!
    There is a lot more "meat" in this .
    I purchased all out of Denmark. My HD crashed and I reload it all. While doing this I had to install new iTunes, - this is the newest version 10.xx. The old version was probbaly 9.xx (cant remember). So the library files are from an old version, - but it does not look like creating a problem. I am now in Sweden, so iTunes was installed in Sweden, and I try to re-download my missing songs while being here in Sweden. However, - I belive I am connected to iTunes store in Denmark. ... (it takes 2 smileys for this, - if you get as far as to here and still have an overview.)

  • (The Following printhead has a problem) Blackyellow K/Y)

    I have an HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One. Recently it does not work due to a printhead error (The Following printhead has a problem) Blackyellow K/Y) we did buy new original HP printhead Blackyellow K/Y and replaced but the error message still shows.
    Please help.  Many thanks.     

    Hello @VC15,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're getting the error "The following Printhead has a problem: K&Y" on the front panel of your HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this Printhead error. Because the error remains since installing a new Black and Yellow Printhead, there is the likelihood that the Printhead contacts are dirty, or there is a hardware defective with the Black and Yellow Printhead compartment. Please follow the steps below to resolve this Printhead error.
    To start troubleshooting can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please run through Step one, and Step two. Should the error message persist, than a replacement printer would be needed to correct the hardware failure.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Early problems with Java on my Macbook.

    Hi, I am a former high school computer science student and I'm having problems with Java as I've recently moved from Windows to a Mac. The following is a letter I wrote to my prior computer science teacher but he does not seem to be responding. I think all you need to know is that DrawHouse and JumpingJacks are simple Java programs we made in class that utilize an object called DrawingTool (which is a graphics environment). DrawingTool is contained in gpdraw.jar and also was contained in our class' apcslib.jar. Also, FileInput is a class contained in apcslib.jar.
    I basically transferred all my JAR files (apcslib.jar, etc.) from my Windows computer to my Mac. I didn't think anything was wrong or corrupted with them because they're the same JAR files that I used for my Java programs on my Windows comp in high school and when I run those Java programs now, they still work. But for some reason if I try to run, say, DrawHouse or JumpingJacks with those same programs on my Macbook, it gives me the following errors on runtime (it compiles fine).
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.move( DrawingTool.java:456)
         at java.awt.Component.setLocation( Component.java:1705)
         at java.awt.Window.init( Window.java:289)
         at java.awt.Window.<init>( Window.java:318)
         at java.awt.Frame.<init>( Frame.java:419)
         at java.awt.Frame.<init>( Frame.java:384)
         at javax.swing.JFrame.<init>( JFrame.java:150)
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.<init>( DrawingTool.java:45)
         at apcslib.DrawingTool.<init>( DrawingTool.java:106)
         at JumpingJacks.main( JumpingJacks.java:35)
    So I thought, maybe I'm not importing the JAR files correctly. But if I import gsdraw.jar or a different apcslib.jar that I downloaded from some random teacher's website on the internet (and that also happens to have DrawingTool in it) then it compiles and runs fine. So I thought, ok, maybe it's a problem with this one particular apcslib.jar that I transferred from my Windows computer. But like I said, DrawHouse and JumpingJacks run fine on my windows comp, and most ridiculous of all, I tried running Tasmania on my Macbook (which uses the FileInput class from your apcslib.jar) and THAT works fine! So to recap, I'm not importing the JAR files wrong and at times there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the apcslib.jar you gave us and probably not anything wrong with my IDE, seeing that importing of other JAR files works fine (I'm using eclipse and/or xcode, and the same problem occurs with both). Now of course, I could just go ahead and use the apcslib that I downloaded from the internet, but it's very inconvenient since it doesn't match your own apcslib's contents (for example, it doesn't have FileInput). By the way, I've also tried adding the JARS directly to the Java Extensions instead of importing them as external JARS, but that doesn't solve the problem. I've also attached the apcslib.jar in case you think that it's somehow corrupted or something....
    Do you have any idea about what could be wrong or where I should go from here?
    Thanks for all your help!
    Bryan Huh

    Thanks for the reply, but if it is a problem with how
    I'm using DrawingTool, then shouldn't it run with
    errors on my Windows comp too?Maybe, maybe not. If you're doing something that's correct on one but not the other - using file names for Windows on Linux Mac), for instance.
    The same EXACT source
    code will compile and run fine on my Windows comp,
    but run with errors on my Macbook. And if it's a bug
    with DrawingTool, then shouldn't my Windows comp also
    encounter the problem and run with errors?No. the DT programmer could have done the same thing, using code that's correct on Windows but not on Linux. Or there could be a difference in the Java versions on the couputers and code that's valid in the later version is failing in the earlier, or vice versa.

  • Follow up to "Authentication Problem"

    I have attached a file which is a screen shot of the problem I am having. (Rename the file to .jpg)
    The IVT stack (2.3.0.0 per the screen shot) connects to the phone OK and can send a business card. PC Suite is 6.81.13.0.
    The PC suite connects as you would expect and then gives the "Cannot Authenticate" message as shown in the screen shot. The phone shows a successful connection followed by a disconnection.
    No amount of uninstalling/unpairing helps.

  • Keys out of order -- follow up to earlier post

    I ran the install disc Disc Utility Test and the Hardware Test disc on the computer since I posted my first question earlier tonight "Computer won't finish start-up -- any suggestions". The Hardware Test came back fine. The Disc Utility test on the install disc says: Keys out of order. It does not, however, explain how to repair this problem on the hard drive.
    Is there any way to fix this problem on the hard drive?

    Invest in DiskWarrior. I had the same problem and DiskWarrior fixed it. No other utility programs worked for this problem. DiskWarrior is very inexpensive. Ordered online in the afternoon. It was delivered to my office the NEXT morning.

  • Chapter Markers End Jump Too Early-Problem

    Folks, I am using DVDSP 4 and my chapter markers keep stopping too early from the burned DVD. When I play the Video_TS folder using Apple DVD player all is well. When I burn it and play it on a standard DVD player, all the chapter markers end jump earlier than they should - cutting off my full credit rolls on my video track.
    All of my chapter markers came from Final Cut Pro where I initially made them.
    Please advise.

    Make sure you test this on more than one player if it is a "for real" project of replication or duplication. All players are not created equal and there are the real weird things that may show up on only one or two players, but you need to make sure. You may want to try the other methods and see if it helps on the problem player just for fun. (Yeah, I know does not sound like much fun, but it is sort of interesting I guess )

  • The Webmail version of Lotus knows keep giving the following error message: A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail. How do I fix this?

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox.
    Now, when I try to access my webmail from Lotus Notes (at https://webmail.WorldVision.org) the following message shows up when trying to preview my inbox.
    "A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail."

    Actually, this isn't a cache problem, it's an issue with iNotes and Firefox 4. I found the answer in comments at a similar question. See:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/798271#answer-153202
    I downloaded the Remote XUL Manager add-on for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/), restarted FF, went to Tools and scrolled down and clicked on "Remote XUL Manager." I clicked "Add" and pasted the URL for the link where I log-in to Lotus Notes into the dialogue box, and ta-dah! Back to email. Took me longer to type this than fix the problem.

  • "the following printheads has a problem.

    I have an Officpro 7600 series printer and I keep getting the error "the following printhead(s) has a problem"  it then goes on to list all 4 cartridge colors.  I have changed the cartidges but keep getting the same error.  How do I fix it?

    ON January 23, 2012 I contacted HP Service to assist in solving my printer problem.  I was very detailed about my printers problem in description and error message given.  I was told that HP Support could fix the problem and I was sold an annual Service Program for $40.  However during the conversation I was also told the cost would be $42 and then $47.  Since I wanted this problem resolved and I was assured the problem could be resolved I accepted the program.  I was never offered the one time offer which I have found out since.
    After about 1 hour, being hung up on, having to call back, repeat the story for the second time, the problem was never resolved.  In fact I was told it was a hard ware problem.  If that was the case, then it should of been mentioned to me prior to my investment.  Then the tech wanted to sell me a new set of ink cartridges, when the message is for the BK/YE print head.  I mentioned to him that I just replaced the cartridges and they where all new.  Then I was told that I needed to purchase a new HP printer!  He is going to call me back today.  I have tried to generate a new on-line chat session, however that is for those products still in warranty.  I guess that I have just been taken advantage of and I have no intension in purchasing an HP product that I can not get support and solve or fix an issue without misrepresenting the service process.  I feel that I have been taken advantage of!

    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • Follow-up to earlier question; you asked me by email to confirm that I asked a question. I did. The question was: if I don't get a prompt to drag the ff icon into my Applications file, how do I do so?

    I downloaded the latest version of Firefox as requested. I was told to drag the icon to my Application file when prompted. The download was successful, but I never got the prompt. And so I still have the old version of Firefox (3.6.24) and the home page still tells me I'm using an out-dated version. So what do I do?

  • Follow up on FSB problem

    Well, I have read all of the sticky notes and troubleshooting guides and I am just lost at this point...  Being an A+ instructor, I just don't understand how this could be happening....
    I am able to get the FSB of my MB to 120, anything above that and the system does not post.  Runs fine at 120 for hours.  Checked cooler.  Attempted various settings for memory (+33/+66/standard) and different voltages for CPU.  Disconnected power from everything except MB, same problem.  
    Seems like alot of people are having the same problem because there are alot of posts about this.  However, I can't find a single solution, other then suggestions to check cooler installation.  I have everything installed right and I am using all brand name parts-except the MB and video card which are MSI X(  X(  X(
    Here is my system again:
    KT3Ultra2-r
    Athlon xp2000+

  • Cannot induce four top bookmarks in the toolbar to stay in the order to which I want to change them, though I followed the Fix the Problem advice on site

    Coming to Firefox from Safari, I already find the bookmarking system less easy to comrehend on Firefox. Having entered my four most-used sites in the bookmark toolbar, I now want to change their order, but my changes never survive closing and reopening Firefox. I read the stuff in Help and followed the advice about the safe mode window but that didn't do the trick either. It's not a big deal but it would be handy to have my stuff where I want it. Thanks for your time.

  • HT1414 after follow the instruction , the problem Wi-Fi setting dimmed still unable to reslove

    hi anyone have experiance for wifi setting dimmed ?? even after restore the whole system the problem still are unable to resolve ??please advice .

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • Follow-up to earlier question re: lost CS4

    I had a computer crash and lost Photoshop CS4(purchased online).  I was given a website to go to where I could download the software.  I went through the procedures until it asked me for a serial number, which I entered.  It indicated it was an invalid serial number, but it is not invalid.  I think it was looking for a serial number for another program.  What to do?
