Help! Finder Unavailable...

When I turn my laptop on, the Finder doesn't come up. Instead, BluetoothUIserver shows up, and I have been unable to get my Finder to work. I tried System Preferences, but every time I try to type something in the help area, the window goes away. I also tried to erase and reinstall using the original Install discs, but the computer wont let me even do that. I am at a loss and halfway around the world. I think the issue is software related, but not sure. I tried also to repair the network system disc, but it was unrepairable.
Please, help.

Have you tried starting in safe mode? If you can then, open System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login items and deselect all, also move any items in /library/startup items to the desktop, then restart.
Let us know.

Why do I see: iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. IE9 works fine but iTunes does not connect to the store.

I have tried 4 days to get iTunes 10.4 working on my Win7 x64 machine. I purchased a new iPhone4 and after syncing it the first time, I can't connect to the iTunes store.
When I try to run iTunes Help, I get this message "iTunes Help is unavailable because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." However IE9 and Google Chrome run as always...... no connection problems.
I have already uninstalled IE9 x64 and iTunes 10.4 x64 and reinstalled but still the same. I followed all the instructions I could find about firewalls, ports, SSL etc.
Diagnostice gives me this information:

How can I get help finding a specific textbook to purchase in the iBook store?

How can I get help finding a specific textbook to purchase in the iBook store?

Is there some reason you cannot provide the exact title here as was requested?
If the book is not in the Apple store, you will have to get it from another one, such as Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Google, Sony. Each of them has apps to read the books you get from them.

Please help finding pre-exsisting methods

please help find pre-existing methods
JavaFirstTime Jan 2, 2005 3:21 PM
please help clever people :)
how to output decimals in 2 decimal places only?
how to output large integers using format: 12,376,452
I've been told there are pre-existing methods for that, but i just can't find it... ideally i need to know the source code...

Well, there's many ways to do it ... Here's one:
class NumberFormatDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new NumberFormatDemo().go();
public void go() {
double decimal = 123.456;
System.out.println((int) decimal + "." + (int)
+ (int) (decimal * 100 + 0.5) % 100);
int largeInteger = 12376452;
System.out.println(recursive(largeInteger));
public String recursive(int largeInteger) {
if (largeInteger > 999) {
return recursive(largeInteger/1000) + ","
1000) + "," + largeInteger%1000;
} else {
return "" + largeInteger;
yes, that's exactly wot i need...
how didn't i think of that myself, using mathematics, i was thinking it would be more complicated like converting decimals to string then count letters and so on.
Thank you for putting me on the right track :)

Help finding WAS SP9

I need help finding NW WAS 6.40 SP9 preview edition for Java from the SDN downloads or the SAP Service Marketplace. Can someone point me to where this is located in detail? Is it even possible to download SP9 now that SP11+ are the latest?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply but:
I still need help finding NW WAS 6.40 SP9 preview edition for Java from the SDN downloads or the SAP Service Marketplace.
Is it even possible to download SP9 now that SP11+ are the latest?
I do not want SP11 (default password length issue on install among other issues exist with this SP). I have 3 other development machines with SP9 and I want to have SP9 to match those other installs. I could not locate the original install that I downloaded from the SDN downloads FTP in May.
Does SAP provide a download of SP9 anywhere? (the service marketplace seems to only have SP13 and SP12 - the SDN only have SP11)
Thanks,

HT1349 I need help finding an old library that itunes states my ipod is already linked to

I need help finding an old library that it states my ipod is already linked to. My computer recently had a terrible virus and needed to be wiped clean. I had to redownload itunes and I bought several songs. I want to add them to my old library because I had several cd's that I had uploaded. Is there a way to find that old library and combine them without having to erase all the songs that are currently on my ipod??? Thanks

Umm. If you wiped the hard drive, then all old libraries are gone unless you have them on backup.

Am trying to activate vm viewer - it keeps asking me for my PIN - have used every number I ever used for a PIN but none work - how do I get past this screen or get help finding my PIN?

Are you talking voicemail and the password, if you are contact your phone carrier and they can reset your password.

Need help finding a driver for my hp webcam . My computer say I dont have a camera but I do.

Need help finding my camera[webcam] on my computor.

Can you provide us with your computer model number? Take a look in Device Manager to see if there is an Imaging Devices group that includes the webcam. If not, is there an Unknown Device listed? This would indicate that your webcam is detected, but there is no driver installed. We can help you find the correct driver if that is the case. Let's start with the computer model number. Thanks.

CS6 Help is unavailable

CS6 Illustrator Help is unavailable. When I try to access it via the Help menu, or by pressing F1, I get the following message
"To access online Help or to download Help contents, you need to be connected to the Internet."
I am connected. Why do I have to have access the Internet just to view Help?
There use to be a keyboard sequence that would bring up the installed Help on your system. Is that still available, and if so what is the key sequence?
This is not a Creative Cloud version of CS6.
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE: Just tried to access After Effects Help and it does nothing. No error message or anything. Then tried Photoshop Online Help which gave me a similar message about needing to be connected to the Internet.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me crazy! I saw someone else on the forums posted about it last month, too. Were you ever able to resolve the issue? I feel the program is crippled without the help menu, and may just try to do this project in CS3 instead, because I'm soooo upset at this program now.

HT4623 I can't find the hotspot settings it's gone after update to ios7 can anyone help find the download ?

Can someone help find this download problem for the iPhone 5 updated to iOS 7?

It is not gone, the carrier must support the feature.
Does your carrier support the feature?

Need help finding an album on itunes

found an album earlier on but cannot relocate it. I want to download a couple songs from it. if anyone can help find it again...please do. it is a compilation album with kelis, britney spears and other on it and one word in the name of the album was **** or *****. it has slave for you, milkshake, and other explicit songs......thanks in advance.

If such a compilation was ever on the US iTunes Store, it doesn't appear that it's there any more. Are you sure you saw it on the iTunes Store? For that matter, I can't even find such a compilation by doing a general web search, though I could have easily just not found it.
