Grab is dead?

I just finished putting in a new HD, and thus, a fresh install and TM migration. Unfortunately, Grab is now useless (along with Photoshop CS2, but that was expected). It just quits as soon as I click on it. Anyone else have this one?
p.s. - having a 7200 RPM HD in your laptop is pimpalicious!

Just today I had to use it for the first time and it worked like a charm…
I wouldn't suggest repairing permissions unless you want to spend about half an hour staring at your screen, so why don't you simply restart?

How to get data from hard drive in dead iMac?

I have an old slot-loading iMac (350Mhz G3 blueberry) that just died, probably a dead power supply or something. Won't turn on at all. I don't care about restoring it, I just want to take the hard drive out and grab data from it. I've found instructions for removing the HD ... but any tips on the best/cheapest way to hook it up to get data from it? It's EIDE I believe from what I've read so far. Thanks for any help.

Hey Richard.....Thanks for the reply to my question about my wife's dead iMac.....
Her iMac had been acting up lately, mostly to do with her Outlook Express freezing up in OS9. I dunno if OS9 was freezing or if the application was failing. Regardless, I would have to quit OS9, restart Outlook which at the same time restarted OS9. All would be fine for a while, a day or two and then the scene would repeat itself. But I think that issue is separate from the iMac being "dead". Often we have power outages in the area, more than we should. I had the iMac plugged into a battery backup, some APS product I think it is. I believe it is only good for less than an hour as we have other devices drawing on it too. Most of our power outages are of short duration, just enough to be aggravating, sometimes having to reset clocks, etc...And a couple times, I would have to reset the time and date on the iMac so this told me that the PRAM battery was below minimum voltage. But the iMac would ALWAYS restart, even with the low battery. But the most recent outage, about one hour duration, did in the iMac, somehow or other. I do believe the battery backup basically fully discharged. So I removed the battery, could not find a new battery locally so I drove to the big city and paid the local Apple service dealer a visit. I got ripped big time price wise, embarrassed to say. So I get home, put the battery in the holder, depressed the CMU reset, the powerbutton illuminated as did a green LED by the memory modules for less than three seconds and then quit. I also heard the HD trying to spin up and a high voltage THUMP which I assume is the CRT trying to ignite. If I unplugged the iMac, removed the battery, plug in the power again and hit the power button, the iMac would repeat the same short on period and then quit. So it did not seem to make any difference if there was a battery in place. I read somewhere to pull the battery, pull the AC cord, hold down the power button to dump any current (?) and let the unit sit for 24hrs. After that length of time, I was supposed to replace the battery, depress the CMU reset, wait ten seconds and then feed it AC. Well, when I pressed the power button, I heard life for maybe five seconds, maybe a second longer, then a beep and then it shut down. I pulled the AC cord, pulled the battery, re-inserted the battery, depressed the CMU reset, waited a few seconds, plugged in the AC cord, depressed the power button and I am back at the under three seconds of "power-up" and then nothing, dead, no beep, nothing. I think maybe it is a waste of time trying to mess with this unit, looking for a newer iMac on eBay, the snowball series with the 17" LCD, might be time better spent. Hate throwing stuff away, that's why I am up to my ears in junk, maybe u know that scenario. The wife likes my 19" ACER LCD screen, hooked up to this old dual 800mhz, though she dislikes the noise and the tower. But we both agree the large LCD screen is much easier on our aging eyes than the old iMac CRT. Anyway, I appreciate your help, always GREAT to correspond with an Apple fan.....John Bauer

CD/DVD drive won't load disks...is it dead?

The HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N drive had always worked with no problem. There was a CD I left in it (without playing) for a couple of months, and when I tried to eject it, the drive kept trying but it would not eject - - a tiny bit of the edge would peek out momentarily, but then it would get sucked right back in, after which the drive would spin up and the disc would reappear in the Finder. After repeated attempts to eject it (including using Finder, iTunes, and Terminal, and restarting the iMac), I was finally able to grab hold of the tiny bit that showed on one eject attempt and forcibly pull it out. That may have been a mistake.
Now, attempting to insert another disk results in absolutely no reaction. It will not trigger whatever is supposed to sense a disc is trying to be inserted. Is the drive dead? Am I pretty much screwed and left with no choice but to hook up an external drive or take my iMac to the Apple Store (where it is out of warranty, of course). I cannot find any way to test or check the status of the disc drive in the built-in disc diagnostics.

I don't really see how that could be the problem -- a) because it was the latest TurboTax disc I was trying to load, which should be compatible with everything, and b) how could the drive possibly know what kind of disc it is if trying to insert the disc doesn't even activate the loading process?
The disc that wouldn't come out was somebody's privately made audio CD, so yes, that could have been a problem (though it didn't have a paper label). But the problem now is that no matter what disc I attempt to insert, I push it in to the point where it meets resistance and nothing at all happens.

CD/DVD Drive is Dead - Unable to feed, Unable to Eject

I believe the symptoms started when I was trying to feed a Costco photo CD or DVD into the iMac, and it would just keep ejecting it out.
When I try to insert something now, there's no noise, no grabbing of the disc, and no inserting. It's like hitting a wall once it's inserted about half way.
I am pretty sure there's nothing in the iMac CD/DVD drive right now... but either way, when I hold the Eject button on start up, or when I hold the left click on startup, nothing happens.
It the motor or the drive dead? How do I diagnose the problem?
Appreciate the help!

1) No. Since it won't work in OS 9, either, it is most likely a hardware issue. Apple says to use a straightened paperclip to open the drive manually. I'm not sure that "something sharp" wouldn't damage the drive mechanism, since a straightened paperclip is not sharp.
2) It's probably going to take a new (or used) drive. You can find one at PowerBook Tech. They also have instructions for replacing it, but it's not an easy thing to do. (You could also maybe find one on eBay.)
Another set of instructions for replacing the optical drive can be found at iFixit. iFixit also has the drive available for purchase, but it's more expensive there.
If you don't want the Combo drive, a CD-ROM or DVD drive can probably be had for less money. eBay may have some really good buys from people parting out their iBooks. Look for somebody with a good feedback profile.
Good luck.

Unwanted ITUNES Purchase, Frustrating Errors, Dead Ends and Angry Wife.

This morning my wife flew off the handle as she had just given me a lecture yesterday about how broke we are and to not spend any money till our next payday as we can't afford any overdraft fees. So imagine my frustration when I wake up to her screaming at me because I made an alleged ITUNES purchase of $4 that we sadly did not and don't even have in the bank currently. So now we have negative $34 + dollars. I swear to her up and down I made no ITUNES purchase. I log into ITUNES and VIEW ACCOUNT. AND I scroll down to PURCHASE HISTORY. Which looks like a link or something, (Its blue text..I'd show you a pic, but thats not working either...more on that in a second.) but you can't click it. It says "Most Recent Purchase : March 28, 2013" There is no more info but that...I look on the ipad to see what my purchase history looks like there. There I am able to see pictures of the things that have been "PURCHASED" Nothing had been downloaded or "PURCHASED" save for a few FREE APPS in the last few days. XBOX GLASS, ANGRY BIRDS HD FREE (Because my son got this Angry Birds toy for easter that makes the Birds turn into pigs. We've already bought Angry Birds for the IPHONE, No intention of buying the HD version as well. My point is all downloads were free things. Nothing that would cost money and a bit of my soul. Still unable to see the raw info of PURCHASE HISTORY. The screen with the ORDER NUMBERS and what not. The IN APP PURCHASES ARE SHUT OFF. (As we've been burned by that in the past from our son.) So I can't give her any explanation as to what the heck just punched us finacially in the throat. So I do some google searches trying to get a more detailed discription of our history. Plenty of sources of info come up. Telling me what to do. Telling me what I already know. I try and follow the instructions with no luck. I find a link in the instructions that I can click that says.
"On a computer with iTunes installed, click purchase history to have iTunes open and display your purchase history. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password."
I click on the "purchase history" hoping that some light is going to be shed on where this mystery $4 charge came from. I get an error saying "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (12001). I google that and get an answer that says this error happens when the clocks on your computer are not in sync with the actual internet time. This is a WINDOWS OS answer. I'm on a MAC. I check my clock anyways and everything is normal. Correct Date, Correct time. It's set to be set automaticallly by the computer as it always has been.
So finally I goto to contact APPLE SUPPORT because I have no other options. Already knowing in the back of my head that this going to be a DEAD END. That some how its going to be my fault even if its not. I click on APPLE SUPPORT and get ANOTHER ERROR saying "We're Sorry, but we were unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again in a few minutes or START OVER NOW. system 99" I click the the START OVER NOW button and get the same error. I wait for a few minutes and get the same error. I wait some more and still get the same error.
I took pictures of all these errors and dead ends and unability to see my purchase history with order numbers and zero in on this 4 dollar purchase and when I tried to upload them. (after resizing my screen grabs to the porportions set by apple.) I'm able to choose my image, but the button to actually post it in this message is greyed out. So I can't even have the simple pleasure of showing you the frustrating road block signs that are popping up for some lame reason too.
My wife was waiting for me to give her some answers, standing there with her coat on, because she was about to goto work. I'm trying desperately to find some answers and literally every flipping turn is blocked by some crazy error message.
I mean, I know how to check my purchase history. I've done it many times in the past. So its super frustrating and sad how a ghost purchase of $4 from the itunes store is going to put me in the dog house all day today. And I can't even SEE WHAT IT IS!?
Thanks apple for putting me one step closer to divorce.

Go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They should be able to help you with this problem.
Regards.

How to disable status bar from creating a dead zone in the simulator

Is this a known bug in the simulator,where a hidden status bar is still grabbing touches? I constantly get frustrated by the inability to click at the top 20 or so pixels of the screen because that is a dead zone, and even though I have a hidden status bar the status bar is still grabbing touches there. Any way around this? And will this happen in the iPhone version, or is it just the simulator?

You have a point, if your users are filling the form in with Reader, they won't be able to save the data with the form unless the form has been "Reader Extended" (which enables this functionality in Reader for the particular form)
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can "extend" the form before you send it to the users. The following is from the Acrobat Pro help...
Enable Reader users to save form data
Ordinarily, Reader users can’t save filled-in copies of forms that they complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
1. Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
2. Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.

N95 Firmware crash - Phone Dead !!

I recently attempted a firmware update on my N95 because it was constantly freezing up, and it bombed out halfway through, I retried twice but the phone was dead, when powered on, all I got was the dim white screen & Nokia logo.
I phoned the repair centre in Wolverhampton and they said
"bring it in, you're covered under your 2 year warranty, it's a very common problem"
Sounds great I thought, but of course it wasn't that simple.
When I got there they said it couldn't be done under warranty because it was now void because I'd chosen the wrong firmware version which had changed the product code of the phone ?!?!?! and it would now cost £25 to reinstall the software.
I phoned Nokia Customer(Don't)Care and they said they would not sanction the repair because I'd invalidated the warranty by changing the product code. I kept telling him that I didn't know about the product code, I had simply opted for the later firmware version and didn't know the product code was an issue, but the idiot just kept repeating that the code had changed which invalidated the warranty, I had to ask him to shut up and explain that I wasn't deaf or stupid, that I in fact understood that the code was changed, what HE couldn't grasp was that I don't think it was my fault, this is not clearly explained in the updater software.
As far as I can remember, when I did the update, I didn't know that the product code was essential, and there was no mention of voiding the warranty if you install the wrong firmware update.
If I had seen that, I doubt whether I'd have continued with the attempted update.
I was just trying to get the latest version of the software on the phone to stop it freezing.
As far as I'm concerned this is Nokia's problem and they should help people out in these circumstances, I mean, how hard can it be to re-install the software?
The guy I spoke to at Nokia was downright obstructive and no help whatsowever.
I'm damn sure I'll never buy another Nokia from these money grabbing, unaccountable **bleep** again, that's for sure.
If you got this far, thanks for reading, rant over !

What BS.
Are you getting paid by Nokia?
My N95 died during an installation of the Nokia Software Upgrade which was downloaded from Nokia using their so-called wizard. No one touched my phone apart from me and I certainly didn't change any codes.
Now the phone shows the dull grey screen with the Nokia word on it. There is no vibration nor is there any 'handshake'.
I have read and attempted to carry out the recovery procedures as outlined in these discussion pages. Nothing tried works.
Surely there is a simple process just to power up a phone that has had the original software removed (by the Nokia program) ready for the software upgrade that obviously did not happen.

Download items from Safari's Activity window DEAD OS X.7 Lion

Downloading items from Safari's (5.1) Activity window DEAD- Mac OS X.7 Lion
Aargghhh this was brilliant before for grabbing stuff and not working now,
all i get is a massive amount of text showing up and no download anymore.
Yup you can download an earlier version (5.0.6) but Lion will not swallow it
tried pacifist to open the old package but even that fails.
thought i could find it inside and run it.
so....
what now?
is there a way round this?
a third party plug in!
something?
anyone got any idea how to sort this out?
so i can grab filmclips pictures etc...
just like before.

I thought I was the only person who was grieving the loss of this feature. I used it mostly for downloading PDFs as preview handles them so much better than shoddy propriety viewers, or even the "preview in safari" mode. During my degree it was invaluable to me as it also let me save these files into folders and keep them for referencing later.
To further exlpain; it was one of the features which set Safari out from the rest. The activity window shows all the different elements of the website which are either being loaded or which have been downloaded. It will show elements of javascript, images, music, PDFs etc embedded in the page including videos and the like.
Within that activity window, you can also see (and copy!) the DIRECT LINK address of each element of the page. ie: Where the actual media files are being hosted, downloaded or streamed from. Certain sites disable this feature for protected works, as they are entitled to do so, but the vast majority allow it.
When we had a separate downloads window, instead of this overlay box in the Lion safari, it enabled the end user to copy the DIRECT LINK in the activity window using Ctrl + C and do the following:
1) Either paste it into the address bar to watch/ listen to the media free from the other elements of the page which waste memory/ get in the way
2) Paste it into the "Downloads" window (Using Ctrl + V) which would instantly start downloading the file, as if you had clicked a "Download file ABC Now" link on a web page.
With the loss of the download window, only option 1 is available. This means that only images and certain formats of video/ audio will be viewable off the website in question ie: ones that quicktime can play. And the current version of quicktime embedded within safari doesn't give you the option to "Download a copy" or "Save as" like older versions used to.
This may necessitate a revisiting of Firefox, which has a "Media browser" function.
I wonder if there is perhaps a bookmarklet out there which forces a download of whatever is dragged onto it. Any ideas?

How to fix stuck/dead pixel on my iPad 2

I just got an iPad 2 and I found out that there is a stuck/dead pixel on the screen. I thought that I could ignore it at the beginning but it just gets too annoying and it grabs my eye when doing anything. So I need to fix it. But first I need to know is it dead or stuck.
On some colors it appeared in two different colors, it changes each time I look at it from different position.
So on white : blue and red
On black : it does not appear
On purple : red and blue
On red : blue and red (so it does not appear)
On blue : black and blue
I hope I gave enough information. Waiting for your help...
P.S. I entered on YouTube and saw a video called stuck pixel fixer or something like that and I opened it for like three minutes each day for about three days now, and it did not fix it, do I need to play it for a specific time? Or do I need something else?

there is an app (cant remeber the name sorry) but it it basical flix up soild images of colour (red,blue,yellow ect...) and it did it at a speed to try and shake the pixel into working agian, sorry i cant remember the name....but its sumit like screen cleaner or sumit like that.

Screen has a Dead or Stuck Pixel ! (Pavilion DV6 3158ca)

I have recently noticed a dead or stuck pixel on the top left area of my laptop screen, it shows a white dot, when a white or bright background is being viewed. If the background is black the dot isnt visible. Im sure its a dead or stuck pixel, I have tried a few pixel fixing softwares, no help!
I still have 4 months left on my HP warranty, but I have read they wont change it unless there are 4 or 5 dead pixels! Anyone had any experience with this, or any ideas? It totally sucks to have a good working computer and a white dot which keeps grabbing my eyes attention.
HELP!!!!!!!

What is the size ???
A pixel is the size of a pin point.
If you see a dot that is larger than that it could be press marks.
Press marks come from the keyboard, palm rest, mouse buttons and sometimes from the LCD lid.
Does the dot line up with any of these???
Let us know.

How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
(Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
''Note, if you still use IE you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

Suddenly G5 won't grab DHCP add. but will conn. to WiFi - NO INTERNET, LAN

I've checked the forums here and this exact problem isn't jumping out at me.
6 months or so ago I replaced my router with a Time Capsule. Everything worked fine for months and months. We had a power outage (I have battery backup UPC) several weeks ago and when the power came back my G5 and my wife's iMac (both Ethernet LAN connected) had lost their LAN DHCP address (192.168.0.x) and were self-assigning their own IP's. The WiFi connection had internet access and after restarting a gigabit ethernet switch on the LAN everything came back.
For weeks everything was fine. Yesterday after coming home from work my G5 had lost it's DHCP address and internet connectivity. I've tried resetting/restarting everything (hardware and network connections). Here are weird particulars :
- G5 desktop has self-assigned IP for both ethernet and Airport
- G5 desktop WILL connect to the Airport network but won't grab a LAN DHCP and can't access internet via WiFi
- iMac is working fine on both ethernet LAN and WiFi
- MacBookPro is working fine on both ethernet LAN and WiFi
- same cable that works on MBP won't work on the G5 (no DHCP assigned)
Tried safe mode restart. Tried new Network Location. Time Capsule is reachable via Airport Utility on MBP, but not the G5. All computers and the TC are updated to latest software revs and firmware.
Any ideas ?
Thanks so much, I'm dead in the water on the desktop.
Ed

Thanks Glen. I tried renew the lease. It never got a lease in the first place. Also tried resetting PRAM and Safe Mode boot. No luck on auto DHCP for this machine.
I do get internet and LAN connectivity if I switch to manual DHCP (I found it's necessary to enter the router address, 192.168.0.1 or it doesn't work).
So now it's working (on Manual) but it bothers me that I can't pick up a LAN IP from the Time Capsule (on Automatic) like it did everyday for a long time. No software changes were made, just Repair Permissions (Check Disk showed no problems). It's a weird problem as all other appliances (computers, iPhone, ATV, etc) are working fine. Just the G5 (same cable, same everything as far as I know).
Thanks,
Ed

Dead Pixel Walking

Recently shot some footage with a JVC HD-250 and one of the pixels right in the middle of the senor was dead resulting in a bright pink pixel in the footage. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a post fix to somehow shift only this pixel so that it grabs it's color information from surrounding pixels. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Zen Nano Plus - Dead after 20 minu

Just received my player this morning. Connected and transferred a couple of albums via windows explorer. Disconnected and had a listen, sound was ok. Reconnected to add some more music. Paste operation froze windows explorer, safely remove hardware button did nothing and the only option was a hard reset. Now player wont switch on at all, not even a logo screen and pc doesn't recognize it so cannot reflash the firmware. Most disappointing.

Thanks for the tips shellshock. I spent quite some time yesterday trying to bring the player back to life to no avail, so its now winging its way back to Amazon.
Basically it went something like:
: 8am. Grab parcel from postman and unwrap excitedly
2: Plug player into spare usb port, my 64 bit OS recognised it straight away as a 'Zen Nano Plus' so no additional driver install necessary which is just as well because there doesn't seem to be one for 64 bit versions of Windows
3: Open windows explorer and copy two folders across to player as with any UMS device (Supertramp and Erik Satie no less)
4: Unplug player, have a listen for a few minutes and farmiliarise with the menu operations and manual
5: Reconnect player to PC, which again recognizes it correctly
6: Attempt to copy and paste a further folder of mp3's to the player using windows explorer at which point onimously the hourglass mouse cursor indicates work in progress without any sign of a progress bar appearing to indicate files in transit (the player does however display a data transfer in progress animation
7: After a couple of minutes ctl-alt-del clearly indicates windows explorer (and hence the data transfer operation) have stopped responding (my pc it should be noted has a respectable spec, was built last summer is not crash prone for no reason)
8: Bollocks says I, this is not quite going to plan. Forcing the process closed via task manager and attempting to use the 'safely remove hardware' function in the system tray locks the computer up totally forcing a hard reset
9: The Nano in the meantime has stopped displaying the data transfer animation so I unplug it from the PC and power it down thinking 'oh well, hardware is known to crash occassionally, i'll need to recopy the files after a reboot no doubt'. Hah, I should be so lucky.
0: Nano now refuses to start full stop. Not even a logo. Removing and replacing batteries minutes later as recommended has no effect, holding down the power button for over a minute has no effect, different batteries have no effect
: The PC now seems to think the dead Nano is a 'STMP3500' (i'm guessing this is the chipset used by the player) and furthermore wants drivers to match. Downloading latest drivers from Creative is useless as they are only 32 bit and will not work with Windows XP 64bit, so the PC is now having none of the dead Nano
2: Attemping to activate the emergency reset by attaching the Nano to a USB port (various ports tried) whilst holding down the power button for 20 seconds or so (several times) proves futile as all my PC now wants is drivers for a goddam 'STMP3500'!
3: Latest firmware from Creative does run ok but totally fails to find the player
4: 3pm. Player is unceremoniously re-wrapped with curses into its packaging and marched to the post office for despatch to Amazon's returns department for a refund
My guess is that the failed data transfer managed to wipe or corrupt the player firmware. I'm sure all computer users are used to system crashes now and again, but they certainly wouldn't expect to have to buy new hardware each time it happened. Creative R&D department should maybe revisit the way the Nano's OS is written and protected.
After all that i'm still searching for a decent mp3 player but can find none to match the spec of the Nano at the price. Reviews of cheaper alternati'ves indicate poor battery life and questionable sound quality. Iri'ver T30 doesn't support UMS so thats a no go.
All in all a pretty negati've experience. Perhaps I was just unlucky, maybe once the refund comes through I might even give the Nano another shot, especially as the price has just dropped again by about 3 quid on Amazon......

Dying Patches of Dead Grass Green

I am doing a project for a local High School. They have the Senoir graduation year picture with the senoirs making the 12. My problem stems from the fact that they are on a feild of dying grass, with the majority of it being green but with patches of dead grass. I tried using the Paint Brush with the brush mode set to color (The dead grass looks a distictly different), adding a color balance layer with a mask, and adding a hue and saturation layer (Couldn't find a setting that made an acceptable green) with a mask. Does anyone have any ideas on dying the grass all green?
I am somewhat new to the world of Photoshop, and would like any help anyone could provide.

First thing I would do is grab the Magic wand tool and select the shadow.
Create a new layer and fill the shape. (then hide layer)
Then using the clone tool and/or flat out copy and pasting start fixing up the grass.
I like copy and pasting sections of grass because it allows you to flip them, rotate them, soften the edges (with a soft edge eraser) to make it look less uniformed then the way it ends up looking with the clone tool.
Then bring back the shadow and with the Blending Options make it look like it belongs there.

Grab is dead?
