Please help as much as you can or as little i desperatly need help.

Oi mate there's no need to be nasty, i was asking why
and you just throw it in my face,Nobody is throwing anything in your face. You threw a stack trace at us and said Java is broken help me.
Well Java is not broken.
The Java program you are running is broken.
But we don't know what it is doing and where it is broken. Only the people with the source for the program (puzzlepirates) can help you.
It is not my fault if they won't help you or told you Java is broken.
and it seems that the java is not working or
something else is wrong on my computerAs a wild guess there is something wrong with the DNS on your machine or proxy or something like that. This is a guess based on the UnknownHostException. But again that is only a guess and the best guess one can make based on the information present.
The problem I think is that their applet tries to do something but doesn't account for connections like yours and is blowing up because of that.
Again only a guess and in the end really does nothing to solve your problem. If you want to solve this problem email the stack trace and perhaps my comments in this post about the UnknownHostException to puzzlepirates and ask them for help.
Nobody else can help you but them.

    There already are some tools in the App Store (eg. My Medical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-medical/id347860026?mt=8).
    If you mean something that would interact directly with a Hospitals main system or such, I don't know of any.  There are numerous companies now selling and setting up central records systems around the country, but I don't know of any that are working on companion patient tools yet.
    Some charity and non-profit companies, like MedicAlert Foundation are working on such things and may have mobile apps on their radar, as funds allow them to develop such thing.  MedicAlert already offers an EMIR service online, but no standalone mobile app for it yet (you manage it via their web portal).
    Epocrates (owned by Athena Health) might also have something in the works, or at least an interest in such a thing.

  • Can't install boot camp(Am in desperate need of help!!!)

    Ok, the story, I will try to make it short:
    -Got my Imac a month ago. Installed Boot Camp Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. No problem. Ran smooth.
    -Later I got VMWare fusion and decided to check it out. Didn't like to to much, but now I can't install Boot Camp.
    -When using Boot Camp assistent, it creates my partition(which 200 GB) Fat32! The problem is, when it wants to boot to install. It ejects the Vista installation DVD! No matter what I do.
    -*If I hold down the ALT key(option button) during start up*, it will show a grey screen with two options(The Macintosh HD and the Windows Partition). Selecting the Windows partition gives a black screen with an error; *"non-system disk press any key to reboot"* Only problem is that the keyboard was dead or frozen so had to crash the machine.
    -Pressing D on start up to enable the *Apple Hardware Test* showed no problems.
    -Pressing Alt + Cmd(command) + P + R to *delete the NVRam and PRAM*, did not have any effect. I think I did it right though, because there came a second start up sound.
    -Pressing S + Cmd(command) on start up to run *User Single Mode*, with the command; "/sbin/fsck -fy" did not reveal any problems either, except for a weird long messege that kept coming up, and which interupted the line I was writing on several times. The messege was as follows: +":/root# AppleUSBEHCI[0x6e8t000]:: Found a Transaction Past the completion deadline on bus Oxfd, timing out!(Addr: 6EP:4)"+

    I don't know what any of this means, but I suspect the Boot Camp partition is the last one. I wonder what "Boot Code: None(Non-system disk message" means!?

    Other things I tried:
    -Tried going into Startup disk, to force Vista to install from boot up, but it ejected upon startup anyway.
    -Tried rebooting while holding down "C" to force a startup from a CD/DVD. Vista installation DVD still ejected.
    -Tried reinstalling Leopard with the Leopard Installation Disc 01, but it also ejecred upon rebooting to install! < This lead me to believe that it's my Superdrive that is messed up, but it plays DVD Movies just fine, and I even just now just burned the Vista installation DVD to my desktop in a .dmg file. So I am not sure if that is it!
    -I tried taking a different Windows Vista DVD(Windows Vista 32 Bit Home Premium) to see if it could install from that. It could not, and ejected upon startup like the Leopard and 64 Bit Home Premium Vista Installation DVD!
    I am new to Mac, but I am desperate after getting boot camp to work again. I have litterly been trying to figure this out for days, and I can't get it to work. I tried to call Apple but they couldn't help me.:( I could really use your help. I just want it to work.
    And speaking of working, I haven't been to work for two days, because I have been home trying to figure this out. It's critical that I get boot camp working. So please, mates, can't you help me.
    I simply don't know what to do:(

    Does [this firmware update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/imacefifir mwareupdate13.html] apply to your machine? If so, putting it on may fix the boot from DVD problem.

  • IN DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP flashing question mark appears MacBook

    Hello everyone, I got this White MacBook Mac OS X 10.4.11 yesturday I was updating limewire and iTunes, I was downloading some songs from Limewire when all of a sudden my macbook frozed. I was not able to do a thing. Not even minimizing nor quiting the app nor even opening another aplication, so I decided to shut it down by holding the power button until it shut down (about 8 secs). So I restart my macbook and I got this grey=blank screen whit a flashing question mark on it. I've tried EVERYTHING on this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US even these one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533 and all I was able to accomplish, was to hold the mouse (/trackpad) button to eject a Cd, and while pressing Shift during startup (in order to start in Safe Boot mode) all I get is this lock image and this space to type a password. I've tried typing every password I know and I can't fix my macbook. Can anyone please help me out on this one?

    It means certain system files needed for startup are corrupted. You will have to reinstall OS X. If your hard drive is unaffected you can try the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • In desperate need of help from BT

    I am in the middle of the most frustrating series of events ever and its an absolutre shambles. What should have been a simple house move and resign up with BT (after many years a customer) has been a ridiculous farce. We had a connection date. You cancelled it for resaons that initially werent made clear. We rang to sort it out several times, were put through to many different departments, hung up on twice (professional CS!) have spent nearly 5 hours on the phone. Have now had our order cancelled 3 times. No one at BT has actually helped, plenty of apologies but these do not resolve the issue. We are now told, one month after initial connection date that you dont have control of the line??? You will have known this from the first attempt. To cap it all, someone from - I presume overseas call centre ( bad english, complete lack of understanding of basic conversation - not for the first time) has just rang and asked if we want to place an order as the last order has been cancelled. This will be the latest of a list or "orders" with no resolution. People that work dont have the time to be on the phone for numerous hours being passed from pillar to post with no sign of a resolution. 
    I have complained through the complaints email, guess what, no response.
    Order number (latest cancelled) was HMNEAA********
    I dont hold out much hope of anyone at BT being interested in sirting this out, but heres hoping

  • Poor student researcher in desperate need help hooking up an Adam 4017 and 4018m to windows 7 computer!

    Thought I was getting a great deal. Like the loggers. Have them hooked up but I can not link to any program. Grant it I am a novice when it comes to these things. Im a microbiologist looking for bacteria that makes electric not a programmer.
    I need the most cost effective way to record data off of these loggers. Im supposesd to begin a project on friday. Dasylab? Anything. If I can just collect the numbers in a folder I can process.
    Please help. 
    Thanks

    Do you have LabVIEW?
    If you do, start searching the forums.  Questions about Adam modules have come up before.  If you are still stuck, then post back with specific questions.

  • Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Desperate needing help!

    ok, so here is the scoop:
    I have the latest version of adobe -version 8 - and I want to convert some documents (whethere ms word, notepad, word pad, simply accounting invoices) into adobe, but this error message has come up:
    "Adobe Reader could not open "_____.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for exaample, it was ent as an email attachment and it wasn't decoded correctly."
    Ok, so first of all it was NOT sent as an email attachment, but it may not be a supported file? Then what are the supported files?
    I reallyt need to use adobe, but I can't open ANYTHING up in it because of this message that keeps on coming up.
    P.S. I called tech support, they advised re-installing - did that, but still have the problem.
    Any help would be soooooo much appreciated! THanks in advance!!!!!!!!

    There is some confusion here....
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format explains how Adobe came to develop PDF as a truly portable document format so that anyone can create a document that is formatted, can contain pictures and movies and is encryptable so it cannot be altered.
    It is cross-platform and is so successful it has been adopted as the official way of providing web documents by the US government and many others.
    The pdf standard, which is based on another Adobe product, PostScript, is an open standard and other programs use it for output, including Microsoft Word. IMO the best free pdf generator out there is PrimoPDF.
    Hope this helps

  • I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

    hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

    Hello Markatkis,
    Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
    If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
    Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

  • Desperate need of HELP for a Java GUI !

    Hy people,
    I am working on a project trying to display a GUI where its output is dependant on the user's input.
    Here is a brief example of what Im trying to do:
    You have a GUI that contains 2 panels. buttonPanel and DisplayPanel.
    buttonPanel contains:
    a dropdown list: includes choices of colors,
    2 textfields: the length: (can enter from 1 to 100),
    the width: (can enter from 1 to 100),
    a checkbox: random
    and a start button.
    Now when I enter ALL the information needed in the components and then press start button, it should display its result in the DisplayPanel.
    In my case, I want to display just one rectangle to start off. That will have its color changed by the dropdown choice made. Now Im forgetting about the length and width textfield for now cause that will be incorporated for something else later on.
    I created a buttonLitener for the start button and an ItemListener for the dropDown List.
    I declared and drew a rectangle specific to the color chosen by the user in a class I created called DrawingCanvas that extends Canvas and that overrides the paint method.
    BUT My problem is that it does not display the rectangle I created in my DisplayPanel when I press on the Start button.
    I provided a screenshot of the GUI interface, and my 2 java files. Is someone brave enough to fix my problem or even tell me what Im doing wrong ?!

    PLEASE I am not Amazing with Java, and pulling my hair out in figuring out my problem.
    Thank you.

    Seriously, look at the first reply in the following thread. It gives a pretty good idea of generally accepted good practices in the forum.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603683
    It is probably better to post code directly on the forum than to try to get people to take the extra steps to download, unzip, and compile your code. That way, they can just cut and paste to try to compile. Be sure to use [code][/code] tags to make your code easier to use. And, try to provide a small example of your problem if the code is very long or complex.
    Another piece of advice. Don't try to challenge the regulars in this forum to prove that they are smart enough, brave enough, whatever enough to tackle YOUR problem. The regulars here include software engineers, authors, and generally very smart and experienced people They don't need to prove themselves to anyone.
    What they want to see is that you have genuinely tried to understand your problem, rather than just running to the forum the first time you get a compiler error.
    You seem to have been working on this problem. Go ahead and create a test case that shows what the problem is. Quite frequently, just doing that will help you solve the problem yourself.
    Good luck.

  • In Desperate Need of Help!

    Ok I have a MacBook Pro 10.4.11, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I had an old trial of iWork'06 but never used it. Until recently a friend of mine encouraged me to get the newer iWork'09, since I was just using Microsoft Office for Mac.
    I bought iWork'09 and inserted the CD to install. Pacifist then opened the package and I clicked 'install'. However while it was extracting the files a window popped up and says:
    "Error
    The checksum for the file 'MobileMe' is incorrect. The file may not have been extracted properly or may be damaged. Please take caution in using this file."
    I then clicked 'continue', ignoring what this message meant. It continued to extract everything however when I click on one of the applications, either Pages, etc. It then says:
    "Files that iWork needs are missing"
    It then tells me to try and re-install to regain these missing files. I've tried to re-install multiple times and the same things happen. I did see, however, in a forums question that people responded that they should try downloading the trial version and then just entering the CD key they received with the purchase.
    I tried this and the same things are happening...
    I am replacing files on top of each other each time I've tried to re-install iWork '09. Should I completely wipe out all iWork programs and then re-insert my installer cd? What should I do, I have no idea what files are missing...??

    The correct System utility to mount and open a disc image (.dmg) so you
    can begin to install the contents is called DiskImageMounter and it should
    be a choice by default to open any .dmg in 10.4.11.
    DiskImageMounter is a core utility of about 452KB in size located here:
    Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app/Contents/MacOS/DiskImageMount er
    You'd never use the Change All option to use any non-system utility or app
    as a replacement in such places as this purposed utility. No reason to, either.
    Pacifist is good for a one-time run per item and manually from the utility or
    an alias in a known location. Extracting packages where there are no direct
    installers available is what that utility is primarily about. It should never be a
    default-use product since it is intended to do specific things.
    You may be able to repair disk and repair disk permissions from the booted
    Installer disc, using the Installer's version of Disk Utility found in the menubar
    drop-down choices. Perhaps that'll allow the system to revert to the original
    default choices. But I don't know for sure.
    You could also try booting the computer into SafeBoot (shift key held throughout
    the start from just after the start tone and until you see a Login screen) and then
    run the system's native Disk Utility to repair disk permissions, then when done, re
    start the computer normally to exit SafeBoot. This may help, in addition see if the
    original DiskImageMounter can be found and chosen to perform its native task.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • New to BC and in desperate need of help setting up my online store!

    So, I'm nearing the tear-your-hair-out stage of attempting to set up an online store.
    I'm brand new to BC, and the only reason we're trying it out is because Adobe claims the integration for e-commerce is so easy.  Ahem.  I created a Muse website for a client ( http://themenschonabench.businesscatalyst.com/index.html ).  For the time being, I just want to offer ONE item to be purchased through the 'cart' page.  Can anyone give me easy to follow instructions on how to go about this?  I've watched a million tutorials and haven't found one that SIMPLY explains how to link one product to a template I've already established in Muse. 
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Yeah, Muse.
    Muse is a basic site creator that steps you into the web world. For that it is really good and quite nice useability. But that is as far as it goes for now, It does not support more complex website features such as the eCommerce directly.
    You need to have a beter understanding of html, css and javascript to utliise all of BC eCommerce properly, but without that knowledge if you just develop it in the BC Admin you can get something produced.

  • Desperate need of External Hard drive help.

    Bottom line, I need one that will work. I have been through a mess of external HD problems & I have looked at hundreds of drives on many sites & I just don't know which one I can trust. I have tried a few already, but they just didn't like working on a Mac (even though they are Mac recommended). If anyone can offer any kind of help, it would be greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated. Of course, we won't know how appreciative I am until it arrives & it actually works.
    Here is what I am looking for. About 120GB capacity. Nothing over $110, but I am a little flexible. It will just be sitting on my desk, so it doesn't need to be ultra portable. I do not want to buy a regular hard drive & stick it in a case, it's what I have now & it has caused me so many problems. I have FireWave surround sound, so it would be nice if it was firewire (plugs into the back of the FireWave, which is tucked away, while the drive sits on the desk). Would prefer it not to be bus-powered, less cables coming out of my laptop, the better.
    I have been through a lot with these products & it just seems like there isn't a great external hard drive that was meant for the MacBook Pro. Please, help me if you can. I need one very soon, the external I have now (the one in a case) is all screwed up & I can only access files when doing a data recovery, but I need another external to transfer the files onto, (I have very little space left on my internal). Thank you very much.

    If your looking for something that looks great, works great, and is highly recommended, then I would suggest you look at a drive by G-Technologies. I have been using their drives for years and I have yet to have any issues at all. They do use a variety of drives in the cases, but their boards are what are great. They always receive at least 4 mice, if not 5 from MacWorld as well.
    You might be a little hard pressed to get a drive right in your price range, but a smaller drive, such as the one your looking for, are a little harder to find unless they are 2.5" drives. Everything these days is getting bigger.

    Oh, I should also note that their drives come with a 2 year warranty as well.

  • Poor student in desperate need of help getting my Adam 4017 and 18 units functioning!!

    Thought I was getting a great deal. Like the loggers. Have them hooked up but I can not link to any program. Grant it I am a novice when it comes to these things. Im a microbiologist looking for bacteria that makes electric not a programmer.
    I need the most cost effective way to record data off of these loggers. Im supposesd to begin a project on friday. Dasylab? Anything. If I can just collect the numbers in a folder I can process.
    Please help. 
    Thanks

    DASYLab 13 includes an ADAM module that should work with those units. 
    You do need to ensure that they are configured correctly, and have unique unit ids, and that they are wired correctly. Documentation should be available on the Advantech site.
    You can download the DASYLab 13 evaluation from www.dasylab.com. Choose the Evaluation mode, and select the ADAM driver under the Data Acquisition packages.

  • SQL Verification Problem / Muse Form Issue (Server uses MySQL muse uses SQLite) I'm in desperate need of help

           Alright well here is my issue... I have been trying to fix it on my own for the past week non stop and I have finally came to a solid conclusion as to the cause of the issue.
       I always get the error "The server has encountered an error..." in red text when anyone tries to submit a form and also when I try and test it myself. This led me to test the server / site for compatibility or issues by using the test:
    mydomain.com /scripts/form_check.php
    I got the first two checks green (pass) and the third test threw a red check meaning I was having an issue with SQL verification. This then led me to days of trying to work with my hosting provider (one.com) trying to solve the problem and I was told that they use mySQL on their servers and that they couldn't do anything on their end to solve the issue. I read alot that we are recommended in this case to try and get our host to add the SQLite database to their server or whatever it is they would do, long story short I guess many people are able to ask their host to make SQLite work and most accept and add SQLite functionality to their servers but unfortunately my hosting provider doesn't want to do this and they said they were sorry and that I would need to either switch the script to work with mySQL or figure something else out...
       I took a lot of time building my site and I dont want to take the form out. I absolutely need it... I know many post on here saying "forms dont work, oh poop " or "adobe sucks I dont want to use business catalyst grrr" but I tried to find the source of the problem and I've successfully came to the conclusion that my issue is that my script wants to use SQLite but in order for my sites forms to work the server needs to have SQLite as well... My idea is that if I can configure the script and the site itself to use mySQL instead of SQLite the SQL verification will then not be an issue and my websites forms will function with no issues. I am curious if a member of the staff with adobe has experience with this particular issue and can help me out? or if a member of the adobe community has solved this problem? If not I am hoping that with the description I provided that someone with knowledge of mysql, sqlite or code in general could help me modify the script or write a new script that will allow the forms to work properly. I know its a long shot, I say that because this discussion is full of people who used muse in favor of dreamweaver because just like a large number of people in the muse discussion area, I'm a graphic designer, with plenty of computer experience, art and design skill and I am extremely familiar with photoshop. Muse is perfect in so many ways. In fact, like I mentioned above, I don't even have a complaint at this time about muse. I understand the form issue in this case, and I imagine in thousands of other users situations, is all just a matter of scripts and compatibility.. Its just a little issue between the SQLite scripts we are all given when we export our muse website and the SQL version our various hosting service may be using on their servers.
       Just incase I missed anything, to provide just a bit more info on the topic and myself for anyone who may be able to help:
    I can alter the text inside of the scripts easily if anyone happens to know any lines of code that easily solve this issue (making the muse contact forms, which are native to SQLite, functional on a server using mySQL)
    I was told one way I could make the forms work on a server using mySQL (or any version other than SQLite) If I were to make changes to adobe muses SQL version by converting the SQLite db to mySQL db (db = database)
    I am computer literate and I can take any directions necessary, I really just need to get this done, I really appreciate any help I can get!!
    Thank you in advance,
    Roy

  • Student in desperate need of help!

    Hello,
    I am taking a course online and it started today. We have to download an ebook that is used by a plug-in of Adobe reader. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 (Intel). Every time I open Adobe reader, it freezes and tells me the application is not responding. Any ideas at all would be helpful. I really need to view this book. Thank you so much!

    Does "every time" in
    clude cases where you are trying to open normal PDF files? When you are just trying to open the application itself? What version of Reader do you have in your Mac?
    Extra line break kindly provided by the software.
