Help! I installed Yosemite yesterday, something went wrong.

I installed Yosemite yesterday, I noticed that after I installed it everytime I would open my Macbook Pro the screen would be black with the mouse's arrow. Right now I couldn't log in so I clicked on the Guest but it told me it needed to restart. So it went to the white screen with the dark apple and the black loading line at the bottom. It brought me to this screen were the safari was opened and it said it needed my Wifi information to use Safari but it doesn't have the down or top bar. No apps and on the apple side at the top left corner there's no switch user. The options are Startup Disk, Restart or Shut Down. I need help because I need my laptop for school work. I bought this laptop last year.

You can get apple support- see support page - direct call in number - where you can also schedule a call - by sending them a text of your problem -
You might want to make that appointment at the store just in case - so you have it -- you can always cancel if you get over the phone support from apple.
Another options would be to look at Apples authorized repair service partners to see if one is close by - as one of them may be able to help you.

Please help a newbie. Can not get color replacement to work

Hello,
Let me start off by saying that I am a newbie to PS in general. I have been on the software for a short period of time. I was working with some images and I was making layers trying to bring color out of BW photos (make a BW layer and use the brush to get the color back in certain areas). I installed RAW 5.3 and now when I make a BW layer I can not make the adjustments on the layer any longer. I get an error message stating I can not make adjustments to the layer. But in all the manuals I have it states to make the adjustments on the layer. I am really confused. I am looking at my plug ins on PS "homescreen" and there are 2 Camera RAWs (5.3 and 5.0). I was wondering if I delete 5.0 that may help (how can I do this). Also, I can make a color picture and remove the color from the main image, but that would just take too long to only bring out the color in a small area. I am wondering why this process is now "reversed"
Also, is there a setting that may not be right to make the color replacement on the layer that may not be right on my computer. Again, all this started right after installing RAW 5.3. I am running an iMac OS X v10.5.7.
I am sorry if I am leaving some information out, but I am a newbie and do not know what other information might be useful.
Thanks for any help, and please let me know if there is additional information that you may need to help me.
Thanks,
Mike

Help needed- newbie trying to setup xerces XML pasrer

Hello all,
I am new to Java and XML.
I am trying to write a simple java program that will use the xerces parser and will read the XML file.
I have installed xerces 2.8.0 and put in on a specific location on my hard drive.
I also added the xercesImpl.jar file to the CLASSPATH variable.
I am trying to compile this code:
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
public class SAXParserDemo {
public void performDemo(String uri) {
System.out.println("Parsing XML File: " + uri + "\n\n");
// Instantiate a parser
XMLReader parser = new SAXParser();
public static void main(String[] args)
if (args.length != 1)
System.out.println("Usage: java SAXParserDemo [XML URI]");
System.exit(0);
}//IF
String uri = args[0];
SAXParserDemo parserDemo = new SAXParserDemo();
parserDemo.performDemo(uri);
}//MAIN
The error I get is on this line : XMLReader parser = new SAXParser(); stating that it cannot find SAXParser.
What am I doing wrong? is there something else I need to import?
Help will be much appreciated.
Sorry for the newbie question.
Cheers,
Mike

The error I get is on this line : XMLReader parser =
new SAXParser(); stating that it cannot find
SAXParser.
What am I doing wrong? is there something else I need
to import?Well, yeah. Your code shows you already know how to use the "import" statement. The compiler says it can't find SAXParser, and you correctly suspect that you need to import something. So the logical step: you need to import SAXParser.
But you don't know what package it's in, right? Well let me just look it up in the API documentation for you... here it is... javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser. Take note of the existence of documentation for the next time you have this sort of question.

Trying to create install script in PackageMaker...help for newbie

Hello,
I am trying to deploy a solution as an install package. Currently, there are 3 items inside the folder that needs to be installed in the /Applications folder. This in itself is easy. However, when I create upgrades to the solution, I want to carry over one file from the previous installation to the new one. Is there a way to have this upgraded version install and instead of removing all of the earlier files, can it install the new files (which are 3) and carry over 1 of the other files.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input or sample scripts that I may be able to modify to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks for your time!
Perhaps it would help if I explain a little further my situation and what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a database runtime solution that I want to distribute. I have all of the necessary files in a single folder, let's say, named "Progam 1.2". Since whenever I upgrade this version, I need to have the old data file from the previous version on hand to import into the new file, I create a new folder called "Program 1.3" So after the installation, I would have both folders. The user then opens the new version and the program then will import the previous versions data. At that point the user may delete the previous version folder entirely.
My question is how can accomplish an install so that the new version will not overwrite the previous folder "Program 1.2" when installing the upgrade to "Program 1.3" since I need the data file for updating the data. Ideally, I would love to have the new folder installed and the single data file in the previous version folder be copied to the new versions folder and be renamed to "Previous Data" so that the new version can update the data.
Again, I am a complete newbie in this arena and have simply been doing DMG files where the user copies the new version to the applications folder. But if there was a way to automate this installation more, I would like to do that.
Thanks again for your help!
Stephen

Please help the newbie!

I've created a photo gallery in Flash CS3 that contains 2 UI
Loaders (one for a graphic title for the image, and one for the
image itself) and have tested it and it works fine. I even
published the file as an independent html file and it seems to work
fine when tested in the browser too. My problem is that when I
place the .swf into my html page in dreamweaver and test it, the
file shows up, but the loader info doesn't work. The images don't
load.
Here is the code I have set up in Dreamweaver -
Within the head, I have this:
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Within the body, I have this set up for where the swf gallery
is supposed to be:
<div id="content_main">
<script type="text/javascript">

Can anyone help? Thanks so much. I appreciate any help I can
get.

Two suggestions -
1. Please help yourself by using a subject line that is
descriptive of your
question/issue. Can you imagine how many posts there are that
have exactly
this subject? Later when you want to find this thread, you
will be deep in
the mud of other newbie posts.
2. When you post a question about problems with your layout,
please always
post a link to the uploaded page? That way we can all examine
the page's
behavior, look at the code, and give you a precise answer.

Need help reloading iPhoto after Yosemite loaded

I put OS X Yosemite on my computer yesterday. Today iPhoto had a symbol over it and would not open. I found a similar page and it said to delete iPhoto and close app store and reboot and then reload iPhoto. When I went back into the app store the there is no iPhoto app to upload. Please help me get it back.

As of 10.10.3, iPhoto is no longer supported. You'll need to migrate your iPhoto library into the new Photos app.

Help with FCPX on Yosemite update

I've recently updated to Yosemite and since doing so, I had to upgrade to FCPX 10.1.3. I updated to FCPX and now every time I go to open it, it tells me I need "4GB of memory is required to run this version of Final Cut Pro" and when it begins to load, it freezes and then crashes (quits unexpectedly). I deleted unnecessary files and apps that I don't use and I'm still getting the same message/problems when opening the app. Can someone please help me?! Mind you I have a newly installed 1TB drive.
Can anyone out there assist me please?!

Here are your video choices fro this camera:
For video shooters, the D5200 can record Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies at up to 60i or 50i (when set to NTSC and PAL respectively), although this uses a central crop of the sensor area. More conventional 30p, 25p and 24p modes use the full width of the sensor. In manual mode you have the option to take limited control of both shutter speed and ISO, but not aperture.
In your screen capture(s) above: From Quicktime X - it indicates that the original footage is 50 fps yet your import setting is for 25 i. Your import settings should be the same format as your native video. I know that it has become fashionable to shoot video at 24, 25 30 p but I suggest that you try to shoot a test at 60i and import that as 60 i. Indeed, compare all the shooting modes: pan & tilt profusely - following say cars as they drive by. But you really should import at the same settings as the video was shot.
Also, when you import make sure that optimized is checked. After importing - wait for the video to be encoded to Pro Res 422 before you do anyhting else. Open the background processes window and watch & wait.
You can always deinterlace when you export and make it progessive.
Have you set up your camera as NTSC or Pal?

Somebody help the newbie!

Hi. its the first time i'm looking at java or ppo btw.
well what i needed to know is how to create a vector, add things, delete things, from it and how to use it outside the class he was born in.
oh and another very newbie quizz.
whats the difference between the class and the constructor method?
they both must have the same name i know, but in examples i've seen sometimes there are variables declared before the class, then others before the constructor and then others inside the constructor... im confused.
help! :)
thx

O dear :-)
OK the constructor of a class is often used to initialise parameters or setup something so for example
class Test
Private int number=0;
public void Test()
System.out.println("In contructor");
number = 10;
System.out.println("Number=" + number);
As for the vector class you can only add objects not built in types.
So you cant use it for ints but u you can for Integers.
Add item
vectorName.addElement((Integer)number);
Return an item
Variable = (Integer)vectorName.elementAt(0);

Help for Newbie setting up business

Hi! Total newbie here. Any help would be appreciated.
I use a Mac. I'm developing a web internet business. I'm planning to install and use Adobe Scene 7 for all it's features. In reading about Adobe Scene 7 it says it is 'hosted'. I am planning on using Earth Girl Hosting for my business and I was hoping that I could use Adobe Scene 7 while using Earth Girl hosting. Does anyone understand if I can do this and is it problematic if I do?
What exactly do they mean by Adobe Scene 7 is hosted? Does that mean they host your whole web site?
Later on I was planning to take a course at SMU that uses and teaches Dreamweaver. If I have Adobe Scene 7 installed and using it in my business, will I be able to use Dreamweaver too........will they interface okay?
Thanks so much for any help......... break it down for me on the newbie level if possible!

What exactly do they mean by Adobe Scene 7 is hosted? Does that mean they host your whole web site?
This means that the program that is used to develop the web site is operated from an Adobe server, the same server that will host the site.
Later on I was planning to take a course at SMU that uses and teaches Dreamweaver. If I have Adobe Scene 7 installed and using it in my business, will I be able to use Dreamweaver too........will they interface okay?
No, you will not be able to just use Dreamweaver to continue maintenance of the web site that is created by Scene 7. There may be small parts that are visible in the browser that you can use in Dreamweaver, but the dynamic parts will not be available.
If time is of essence, the low learning curve of Scene 7 will probably help you get on line quickly. After that, either maintain it using the same tools or forget about it and start producing real web sites with Dreamweaver or other compatible web authoring software.

Help with OS X Yosemite

I downloaded Yosemite onto my macbook pro and now the music I had on my computer, which was from my cd collection is disappearing.
I have no trouble logging in to airport at home, but I can't stay logged into airport when I am at school.
I never had any of these problems before I downloaded Yosemite.
What can I do to fix these issues?

I am not sure if this old software will install on your new OS; see if this helps: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html#main_Older_Versions

Help! Newbie Assistance With Formulas!

I am an admitted Newbie. I'm fairly good with Excel - but switching to Numbers on my new iMac is making me nuts!
I'm trying to do something really simple - but getting nowhere. Apparently, from what I've read - there is a learning curve in working with Dates & Times in Numbers that I am not at all familiar with. So I'll explain my dilemma and hope someone can help me:
1)   I've got an Hourly Log that shows a date (Column A), start time (Column B), end time (Col C), and duration (Col D).
2)   I've figured out how to get the Duration calculation done.
3)   And I've figured out how to get a sum of the Durations with a typical =sum(C7:C18) formula.
4)   What I can't figure out how to do - is to place the Durations formula in Column D so that - if there are no hours entered on a date, it will just be blank. This is a problem, because I need to have the spreadsheet set up to automatically calculate if hours are entered - or leave a blank cell in D if there are no hours. I tried to set it up to go ahead and show a "0" if no hours are entered - but then that gives me an error message in the Total that says "the values being added must be either all durations or all numbers. "
In Excel (which I know, I shouldn't be mentioning - but this is all I know so far!) -- it would be an =IF formula -- but I can't seem to make anything like that work here.
Any assistance would be appreciated!! I'm desperate!
Thanks --
    Kelly

Thank you so much for your help, Wayne! I believe that helped me solve the calculations issue - so I'm good there.
But I'm still having a huge problem understanding the Date/Time conundrum! So - let me see if I can explain what I understand on that so far:
a) Any time a Time value is entered in a cell, it is automatically going to include (for example) today's date. (I did notice that when I entered a time, it would add today's date - so I'm assuming that is what you're talking about on going back to look at the contents of a cell with a time value, and I'll see what date that time value was entered - right?
b) Using a Custom format, even though the date is technically "there" in the cell - I can get my spreadsheet to not show that. (which I managed to do)
c) But that my hours - for example, if I'm calculating hours worked between 9am - 2pm -- I need to make sure the date is the same for both (whether it's showing or not), or it's not going to calculate correctly. Is that right?
I haven't figured out how to format the cell as text, though - and still have it calculation the Duration . . .?   In fact, when I format it as text -- it goes back to showing the whole date/time/am/pm info. In short......
ARGHHHHH!
I'm leafing through manuals as quickly as I can, but oy - the learning curve! If you could just let me know if my understanding thus far is correct - that would help tremendously!
Thank you again!

Help a newbie: drawing shapes (but seeing it drawn in 'real' time)

Hi guys,
I'm a complete Java newbie, but I'm learning it for my senior project in physics that deals with strong field laser physics modeling. My question actually doesn't pertain to any of that though.
I have a little applet that just draws a snowman, but my friend (who's a really good girl friend of mine) would like to see the shapes being drawn, like appearing from nothing, then being created as the applet runs. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to make something 'trace' or create or cirlce a rectangle slowly. Any help would be appreciative. Thank you.
Adam

Make it run slower, by putting about a jillion other threads continuously factoring random odd integers ;)
Or re-write the line/circle drawing routines and put a pause between various steps.
Another possible option is taking off the buffer, but this may still be too fast with a lot of flickering.
Or just tell her you've got better things to worry about than lines drawing themselves slowly...

Help, Java newbie a little over my head with LDAP

I'm actually a network admin but I've been dabling in Java for a little while now.
I am trying to write an app that will allow me to insert and remove attributes to entries in Active Directory.
I have found some sample code which I have altered to make a "proof of concept" before I start on the actuall app I want.
The problem I am having is writing into the AD. I can query entries with no error but when I try a modification I get an "DSA is unwilling to perform" LDAPException. I am pretty sure it's not a permissions issue but from reading stuff on here I am begnining to think that it may have something to do with SSL connections. There is commented out code below where I experimented with this but I was unable to connect the the AD when this was in. "unable to connect to the directory server error".
If anyone can offer me any advice I would be most grateful.
