Having many issues... Please help!

Issue number one. I was recently surfing the web, trying to find an off shore escrow company. When I clicked on a link and my computer started downloading "something". I immediately tried to stop the download, but now I'm getting spammed with a banner across the top of my Safari windows. It doesn't matter what site I go to, I keep getting the banner that states, "congratulations you've won, blah..." with audio! So annoying, because the computer voice keeps repeating it. "congratulations, congratulations". You get the idea.
Issue number two. Whenever I try to get into my system preferences, my pin wheel spins forever! As well as, when I'm using Safari. My computer entirely has been sluggish lately.
Issue number three. After the crazy download, I tried repairing my disk, but I keep getting this error. Now I know, there's been other threads on this issue, but I don't understand "their computer language". Here's the message I keep getting:
Error: The underlying task reported failure on ext
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Now I have the two disks that came with my computer, but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with them? Other threads tell me to reboot using the start up disk. What does that mean, exactly? Please explain, step by step what I'm suppose to do.
I'd also like to scan my entire computer (due to the mysterious download) for virus', etc. However, the apple threads only talk about virus via email, which doesn't apply to me. Please help me fix my t issues. Thanks for taking the time to read my frustrations. Your fellow mac user.

If you are getting an error that cannot be repair when running Disk Utility's Repair (not Verify), you can either get a tool like Disk Warrior from Alsoft to fix it -OR- you can back up your data, reformat the drive, and restore your data.
You can backup your data using a cloning program (such as Carbon Copy Cloner) to duplicate the entire drive to an external drive. If you do this, you can reformat and run the cloning process in the other direction to restore. Or you can just back up your user data, then after reformatting, reinstall the OS and apps "fresh" before restoring your data.

Welcome to the forum.
First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.
Good luck,

Having messaging issues, please help?

When I am having a text conversation with someone, whether normal texting or imessaging, the received portion of the conversation doesn't instantly show up on the open conversation. It alerts normal but shows that I have a waiting message (upper left hand corner of screen). I have to "back screen" to my messages list, then re-enter the conversation to view it. It may have started when I did the update but I am not sure. I just know it isn't the way it used to be and is very annoying. Any answers? Am considering re-setting my phone to factory condition and upgrading the software again but wish there was a simpler solution. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!

If you're using the actual Hotmail app, its outdated. Microsoft moved everything over to Outlook a couple months back and I'll be honestly surprised if you didnt get a notice when you open the app.
Hit the Google Play store and update to the Outlook app. See if that fixes it for you, but also definitely see if clearing your cache helps.

I am having browser issues, Please help?

I am desperate. I have a Mac Book Pro and I definitely am an Apple fan, However a year ago while an automatic software update was loading, My Safari crashed. Nobody has been able to get it to work, So I have tried other browsers, Firefox, Camino, Google chrome. Every one is a disaster, Camino affects my Farmville Gameplay, Firefox also causes games issues and/or loading issues, Google Chrome, won't let me select Igoogle as my home page, It shows It's selected as my page but opens w/The Chrome Page, In order to go to Igoogle, I have to click on the little house Icon on the Chrome Page. Also, I cannot load my screensavers, even on the Mac system preferences, when I go to desk top/screensaver the window crashes with a message it may be due to flash content.I know I need somekind of flash, But what? Adobe/Java/Silverlight/Shockwave? I use my computer for everything, including research and game play, a Zynga addict....I am at a loss, I've been fighting this for a year.

Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

Hi there,
Hope you can help me out here.
I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
Appreciate your help here.
J

I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
I can't thank them enough.
My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.

Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
THANKS GUYS

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
WASTE OF TIME THIS IS...

Hi Venu,
We can't add authorisation objects on Individual servers.We need to add authorisations on BWD ie Dev system and transport to BWI QUA system.This is the Process we need to follow as per our rule set.
So,As the problem mentioned above if i add some auth. objects on BWD DEV system and transport it to BWI QUA system,it is getting transported Successfully to BWI,but the auth.objects what i have added on BW DEV system is not found on BW QUA system.
What could be the problem for that,Is that the problem with transports like TP error or is it related with some tables of auth.objects...................
Could u please analyse the problem and tell me the solution for this..........

Headerrenderer issue -Please help

Headerrenderer issue -Please help
hi
I have a datagrid and I am doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" creationComplete="init()" implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer">
public function init():void{
headerLabel = dataField.label;
_dataGrid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,sortChanged,false);
if(_dataField.localeCompare('Name')==0)asc.visible=true; }
private function sortChanged(e:DataGridEvent){
var dg:DataGrid=e.currentTarget asDataGrid;
varcolumn:DataGridColumn = DataGridColumn(e.currentTarget.columns[e.columnIndex]);if(_dataField.localeCompare(e.dataField)==0)
if(asc.visible ||(!asc.visible&&!desc.visible))
Alert.show(
'in..');
asc.visible=false;
desc.visible=true;

<mx:Text text="{_headerLabel}" />
<mx:Image source="{ascIcon}" id='asc' visible="false">
<mx:Image source="{descIcon}" id='desc' visible="false"/>

I got the solution!!
i need to assign the headerrendereer to the columns dynamically inorder for this to work:
if anybody wants to know details of solution let me know

Vista Premium Home Edition 32-bit on newest Macbook Issues PLEASE help!

Please someone help me with my problem, I'm begging! I've asked around a bunch of places and everyone comes back to me with "well it's a mac.. use it as a mac why do you have vista on it" and never seem to help me. I love my mac, but I also use Vista for many other programs.
Okay here's some backstory...
I recently had to buy a new macbook because my old white macbook came back to me unrepairable! So I had bought the newest model of the macbook, the aluminum 13-inch. Now on my old white one I had installed vista no problems at all, no issues. It ran beautifully! Now I thought I'd have no issues doing the same on the new macbook. Boy was I wrong! I portioned my disc - installed vista, installed the bootcamp drivers and started vista.
It was fine for a while but then I started getting sound cut outs and screaching noises! When I am gaming the sound cuts out completely but not before the game freezes. Then I started having issues watching videos and listening to audio on firefox. Then it'd crash completely! Now it's started shutting off completely giving me a blue screen for a couple seconds telling me there may be a conflict or driver issue. It doesnt stay on long enough for me to read but I ended up checking windows problems and solutions and found this:
"This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and this version of Windows.
Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 was created by Intel Corporation and is distributed by Apple Inc.."
Also driver not found? - "Windows detected a new device attached to your computer, but could not find the driver software it needs to make the device usable. Each device manufacturer typically includes driver software of a CD that comes with the device, or as a download from its website. The hardware ID of your device is ACPI\APP0001."
I don't know how to fix it. I've been trying everything - reading forums, trying to update drivers, reinstalling bootcamp drivers, and vista repair... I just have no idea what to do! Please help me!!! Please please! If you need more information ask for my email so I can talk to you more in-depth so I don't go insane trying to figure this out!

What do you want someone to say or do.
The story slides into information about Intel chipsets and crashing. That to me says take it into Apple and have AppleCare do something.
There is no reason to deal with an issue. A Mac is a personal computer. There is nothing that says it can't run Linux or Vista or has to run Leopard (though it isn't supported on older versions of OS X).
I've used Vista for over two years now, from RC1 pre-release to the latest SP2 beta.
Is your version of Vista SP1 or the older original?
I've found lately that I need to install some software even before Vista starts doing all the updates. Apple Boot Camp but also AV software etc. HOWEVER, given some of the reports, I sometimes wonder if the Apple Windows drivers are current and were tested on late 2008 to work with Vista and XP SP3.
I would think Vista SP1+ would be best bet. I'd even install Vista and then see when Windows 7 beta is officially available to the public, it runs better on laptops than Vista or XP. Better battery life, support for mobile and wireless devices etc.
You could play around and I've downloaded drivers or looked for drivers on Intel, something you would do on any PC running Vista. Maybe these links and discussions or Intel's. And find people and places that support you rather than "lecture." I don't know, haven't read up, on the device, or use a MacBook, but maybe these will help you.
"Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC"
From Intel: "Intel 82801GBM"
A number of reviews have come out looking at "who makes the best Vista capable laptop" and MacBook Pro and Air have both gotten high marks from reviewers like ComputerWorld.

New Infinity connect issues - please help

We are having ongoing issues with getting BT infinity installed to our new house. I really need someone that can actually help us find out what is wrong and how we can resolve the issues we are having.
It all started a few months ago when we ordered BT infinity and a new phone line to our new Chapel conversion house.
Initially there were some issues with the engineer being unable to get the phone line to the house. After numerous phone calls and several engineers visits, we these have now been resolved and we do have a working telephone.
The problem seems to be with the Infinity. Nobody can give me an answer as to why we have not yet got a connection.
When the phone engineer visited he said that he would try and connect the Infinity in the green box. – When he went to do this he tried to obtain our patching information and was informed that there was no live order for infinity on our number… As there was nothing more he could do he left.
We then checked with BT and they confirmed that we do have an order for infinity and that there was a problem that needed and engineer to look at. (We have a box and are paying for the service already…
We were told last week that an engineer was going to attend on Monday 13th Jan and that we definitely would have a connection by last Monday at the latest… - no engineer attended despite my wife spending her 3rd day in the house waiting for an engineer!
She phone BT on Tuesday and was told that there was a problem and she would be contacted by Thursday Morning at the latest. – Needless to say , No phone call!!
We really need to sort this connection out. Is there anyone who can take this and run with it until it’s sorted? – We are getting nowhere talking to random individuals who have no real history of our connection history.
Please Help!
Doug

Nuked Tour: Reload issue please help

I'm going to get straight to it my bb is nuked and I'm having an issue with the standard recovery steps. I'm going to be as detailed as possible.
So I've installed my tour's OS already, I got the apploader up
when I plug it in, instead of the usual "connection unknown" it shows my phones pin <Personal Infromation Removed>
I hit connect and takes me to the appl selection, it shows my os so I hit next
It loads JVM and system software
When it goes to the next step "wait for device initialization" it disconnects and reconnects and then goes back into it's reboot loop and I get a "reconnecting to device" and it tells me it cannot connect to the device.
I was really excited I could get my BB back to life and I get this far just for an error message.
Is there anything I can do to get it past this step so I can recover my BB?
[Edited - Personal Information. Please read your messages]

Well, I can't help but beg to differ...the instructions in the last FAQ I gave you are decidedly different from the BBSAK and/or normal JL_CMDER instructions. From your reply, I can't tell if you followed those instructions or not.
Further, you say you tried multiple OS downloads...are all of those from your BB's original carrier? If not, have you been deleting the VENDOR.XML file (I've no idea what an mlx file is).
You also haven't said if you've been able to perform a WIPE (via BBSAK or JL_CMDER) yet. Doing so results in a two step process...WIPE, which results in a 507 on the device as I recall, followed by the OS load.
As for those 14 other threads...unless they provide some insight into your specific situation and are current, then they really have no bearing here, do they? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding though...perhaps you think that these forums are some sort of formal support from RIM? For they are decidedly not such.
Good luck!

Hello All,
I have this (probably really simple) issue that I cannot seem to resolve...I have 2 tables here (tbl_system_engineer and tbl_task_request)...(only relevant columns are listed below)
tbl_system_engineer
- id NUMBER
- full_name VARCHAR2
tbl_task_request
- tr_number NUMBER
- submitted_on_date DATE (date task was submitted)
- ass_comp_date DATE (date task is due)
- closed_date DATE (date task was officially closed)
- requestor NUMBER (the system engineer id, the person who created this task)
The query is supposed to summarize how many of the system engineers tasks are as followed:
- "past completion date" - how many tasks have tbl_task_request.closed_date > tbl_task_request.ass_comp_date OR SYSDATE > tbl_task_request.ass_comp_date for the engineer
- "Approaching Completion Date" - how many tasks have a tbl_task_request.ass_comp_date in this month but not "past completion date" for the engineer
- "On Schedule" - how many tasks have a tbl_task_request.ass_comp_date > the end of SYSDATE month and year
The result set rows are supposed to look like...
"System Engineer full name", past completion date count, approaching completion date count, on schedule count
Please help!

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
That's an example of a Pivot , where you want to GROUP BY a combination of columns, and have some of the columns appear as different columns, not different rows.
The way to do that is to GROUP BY the expression(s) for which you want rows, and use CASE expressions for the others.
For example:
SELECT       e.full_name
,       COUNT ( CASE
               WHEN r.closed_date     > r.xyz_comp_date
               OR    SYSDATE          > r.xyz_comp_date
               THEN 1
              END
            )     AS overdue
,       COUNT ( CASE
               WHEN xyz.comp_date     < ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MONTH')
                                                  , 1
               AND   r.closed_date     <= r.xyz_comp_date
               AND   SYSDATE          <= r.xyz_comp_date
               THEN 1
              END
            )     AS approaching
,       COUNT ( CASE
               WHEN xyz.comp_date     >= ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MONTH')
                                                  , 1
               THEN 1
              END
            )     AS on_schedule
FROM       tbl_system_engineer     e
JOIN       tble_task_request     r     ON     r.requestor     = e.id
GROUP BY e.full_name
;I don't have versions of your tables, so I can't actually test this. I suspect that some consideration for NULLs needs to be added to the CASE conditions.
if you post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) then people can test their ideas.
Sometimes, especially when the columns are mutually exclusive, it's simpler to calculate a value in a sub-query, telling with which column of output each row is associated. That computed value is then used in very simple CASE expressions in the main query,
Among the annoying features of this site is ithat ir replaces what it thinks are naughty words with s. I suspect that happend in your post. I assume all the columns with ** are the same, for which I substituted above.
