HELP me please with a basic Mac Problem

I recently updated to Yosemite, and I have a question that can hopefully be fixed. Even as I am typing, the problem is occuring. The issue is that right now, my cursor is in this little box typing, but all of a sudden, its gone. For example, when you're in Microsoft word or when you're on the internet, and you click on something ELSE, like opening Photo Booth or whatever, the original thing you were on grays out because it is not the primary focus, my macbook is doing that so every few seconds, it removes the "focus" from the internet, or microsoft word, and i have to re-click on the **** thing every few seconds.
another example, I am typing on microsoft word for 2 minutes and the microsoft bar thing is dark gray. without notice, the dark gray turns light gray and now I am getting that little "beep" sound because my cursor is no longer in microsoft word and it stops me from typing anything until i click on word again. any issues why this is happening?

I got a table with 7 columns (parameter:NUMBER).
column1 column2 column3 ...etc.
1 20 3000
0 22 12123
1 24 3244
1 18 4535
1 29 5654
1 40 5775
0 30 2344
0 23 2366
With the procedure (schritt2) above you can calculate the regression function STATS_CROSSTAB(column1,column2,'CHISQ_OBS') with the parameter table_name and two column_names. I get as result:
count(column) age chi_square chi_significance
101 38 38.4 0.002
The problem is that I must repeat the calculation 6 times for 7 columns.
The calculation-code:
OPEN cur_cross FOR 'WITH '
||'att_grp AS '
||'(SELECT '||column1||' as x1 , lev, '||column2||', '
||' CASE'
||' WHEN '||column2||' <= lev '
||' THEN 1 '
||' ELSE 2 '
||'END attribute_group '
||'FROM '||table_in||', '
||'(SELECT level AS lev '
||'FROM dual '
||'WHERE level >= (SELECT MIN('||column2||') FROM '||table_in||') CONNECT BY level <= (SELECT MAX('||column2||') FROM '||table_in||'))) '
||'SELECT count(lev), lev, '
||'ROUND(STATS_CROSSTAB(x1,attribute_group,''CHISQ_OBS''),4)) AS chi_square, '
||'ROUND(STATS_CROSSTAB(x1,attribute_group,''CHISQ_SIG''),4) AS significance, '
||'dense_rank() over (order by ROUND(STATS_CROSSTAB(x1,attribute_group,''CHISQ_OBS'' ),4) DESC) AS rank '
||'FROM att_grp '
||'GROUP BY lev '
||'ORDER BY lev';
Is there a alternative to put this calculation code in a FOR LOOP??

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Help Me Please...Using Mac Mini as Entertainment Center

    Ok, so I am needing help with this mini:
    Mac Mini
    Model Identifier: PowerMac 10.1
    Processor: PowerPC G4(1.2)
    Processor Speed : 1.42 ghz
    HardDrive: 80gb
    Memory: 512mb
    OK so...let me begin with some background....I know this is an older based mini, it was collecting dust in a closet, when I decided to put it to use. So I completely whiped the hard drive, installed leopard, and pulled all my media off my time capsule to the mini itself. I wrote a script that boots the mini up, as if it were an AppleTV..all is well...BUT....When the mini boots up, it boots up into front row, and in order to select the category/media I want..I need to either use a Bluetooth/wireless keyboard/mouse...or use screen sharing from my Macbook pro and control it that way...I would really like to be able to use a remote control. However the PowerPC based minis do not support the use of the apple remote...I have looked into other 3rd party remotes such as keyspan and others, however, that would be another remote to keep up with..I would really like to have only one single remote that controls everything....SOOO...I was looking into the Logitech harmony remote..which is **** expensive, but I thought it might work....But..again, the mini doesn't have an ir receiver....So im kinda stumped on what I should do...anyone have any ideas?

    I think the Keyspan is your best choice as it comes with a receiver. I have previously used one on a PowerMac with Front Row. They are cheaper than the Logitech Harmony range as well.

  • Help a Novice with a basic calculation.... please...

    OK, OK this is very basic for most - but I'm just a newbie.
    Could someone help me with a formula pretty please...
    I need to calculate the taxes based on the following nbasius.
    Taxes are 0,5% of the first 50 000$ PLUS 1% for the range 50000 to 250000 PLUS 1.5% for anything above 250 000$.
    example: for a 350 000$ value the taxes are: 250 + 2000 + 1500 total: 3750
    Thanks a lot. Im' getting lost in a myriad of if(if(if(if.....) and gettings syntax errors all the way...

  • Please help a newbie with a video render problem!

    Im new to After Effects so please forgive if this is a silly question.
    I have a Edge Animation with a background color of #ffa800
    I have imported a video into After Affects which has a transparent background.
    Research tells me that video is never really transparent so I am creating a solid layer in AE, placing video above it and setting the blend mode to "screen"
    I now have a video with a background color of #ffa800.
    However, when I export / render the video out and import into my Edge Animate project the background color of the video is off and does not match my Edge Animate background.
    I have spent all day experimenting with different export options rendering direct from AE and also via Media encoder. Im now completely stumped.
    I have also tried setting the video background to color #ffa800 and then masking my video. This saves me from having to use a blend mode of "screen" but I get the exact same results.
    Could anybody please give me some tips on where I am going wrong please. The back ground is so close but either slightly darker or lighter depending on what I have set which spoils the overall animation effect I am attempting to create.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Without exact system information, render settings and so on nobody can tell you much. That aside, there are some fundamental failures in your plan. First, web colors mean nothing in AE or in most graphics programs for that matter due to the little subject of color management and possible quantization errors. Whatever colors you dial in, do so using the normal RGB sliders. Second, blending modes do not create transparency, even if for mathematical reasons the blending formula used may appear to eradicate certain colors. Third, you need to consider Gamma values. Video is not blending linear and both your computer screen as well as the video content itself may have a built-in Gamma. As a result, your blending operation could already produce wrong results like a slight haze, the encoding of the video file could introduce Gamma skew and then finally in the last step, whatever tool you use to display may apply dynamic corrections as well or in reverse, none at all. So it basically comes down to checking those things and properly calibrating/ adjusting your monitor and your system color settings and make use of color management in AE, if relevant. In the end, though, you will always see minor color deviations. It's inherent in how compressed formats like H.264 work. You can only try to minimize them as much as you can.

  • Help please with pull email connection problem on ...

    I have set up two email accounts on my C7. Both 'pull' i.e. these are not mail for exchange accounts. In in case, every time I try to sync the account I get a request for the password - I assume the account password! In the other case it does not. t request a password. in both cases the sync is sometimes complete and sometimes it is not - stuff has clearly been left on the server. There seems to be no rhyme or reason with it all. Can anyone help with this? Any advice gratefully received.

  • Help! please with variable name problems

    I have a program that administers a quiz but the no. of questions in the quiz is variable, qarray holds the questions. I am using card layout and i need to set up a new card for each questions. The number of answer choices to multiple choice questions are also variable and i'm going to have the same sort of problem when i'm creating checkboxes. Is there any way around this. I'm getting an error message variable required but value found.
    noOfQuestions = qarray.length;
    for(int i=1; i<noOfQuestions; i++)
    Card = "Card"+i;
    String cardname;
    JPanel (Card) = new JPanel();
    Card.add(new JLabel("Question "+i));
    if(qarray.oftypemc())
    Card.add(new JLabel(""+qarray[i].getQuestion()));

    Look, some guy invented ARRAYs.
    So, do
    noOfQuestions = qarray.length;
    JPanel[] cards = new JPanel[noOfQuestions];
    for(int k=0; k<noOfQuestions; k++) // note: index must start at 0
        cards[k] = new JPanel();
        cards[k].add(new JLabel("Question " + k));
    }or better yet
    CardLayout cardLayout = new CardLayout(); // cardLayout should be global
    JPanel allCards = new JPanel();           // allCards should be global
    allCards.setLayout(cardLayout);
    JPanel card;
    String cardName;
    noOfQuestions = qarray.length;
    for(int k=0; k<noOfQuestions; k++) // note: index must start at 0
        cardName = "Question " + k;
        card = new JPanel();
        card.add(new JLabel(cardName));
        allCards.add(card, cardName);
    }Now, I leave it to you to figure out why cardLayout and allCards should be global fields.

    HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

    Hi,
    ... the page does not load!. Its like theres a block going any furhter after a login!
    Do you get any error messages at all? If so, can you post the exact text that you see.
    One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)

    Pam

    Hello Jon. It is good of you to recognize that we have departed from the original subject. This has NOTHING to do (insofar as I can understand) with the question Pam originally posted.
    (Pam, if you are still reading your thread, please let us know whether your question was "Answered." If not, please post back, and let us know what more you need. We want to get back to your question until your questions are answered. Jim)
    Now back to you, Jon. I will offer you this response. If you have more say about how the new Discussions works, please start a new thread, perhaps in the Discussions Feedback > Feedback about New Discussions topic area unless it is better related to something else. If you start a new thread and want us to join you there, perhaps you will link us to your new thread in a final post here.
    My "face thing" is my old avatar, unchanged from what I was using before Apple changed the Discussion forum operations on 14 Nov, 2005. The only difference is that my avatar does not fit in the same relative location as it did in the previous Apple Discussions layout.
    Posting in the new Discussions has slowed me down, too, but I am not sure I understand the help you are offering me, Jon.
    Are you trying to explain how to refer to a specific post inside a thread? For instance, I already know how to create a link so your previous post inside this thread will be at the top of the page when someone clicks on the link.
    My biggest problem with the new Discussions is my inability to edit my User Tips. Thus, I cannot correct my old Tips to account for the formatting changes from the pre-14 November version of Discussions. There are also some links and other changes that should be made in my existing "User Tips" on Apple's pages, but Apple have not yet restored our ability to edit the User Tips that were migrated to the new system in the November 2005 change.
    Until Apple restores our edit access, my work-around is to offer the corrected version of all my User Tips (and some additional topics) at EZ Jim's iSite. These versions are correct and up to date in the "Topics" posted there. If you find them of value, you have my permission to use them and to link to them in the help you offer to others.
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • Help a noob with his first mac

    Ok, first let me say hello as this is my first post on this forum. second, let me state my problem.
    I recently bought a G3 from a computer group at my college. I currently have it hooked up and am trying to get it to boot from an ubuntu disk (is positive it is the right version) because its free and i'm a poor college kid. however, rather than booting, at startup all i get is a gray screen with a folder in the center with an alternating picasso face and question mark. i've been told it's a broken hard drive stopping it from booting and reading the disk and i've been told that the hard drive shouldnt matter and it should boot anyway. Can anyone please help me with this? i have about 24 hours before my monitor gets taken and i cant mess with it anymore (borrowed it). thanks a bunch.

    You get the blinking question mark when your Mac cannot find:
    The preferred software type
    in the preferred version
    on the preferred Startup Disk
    All of these parameters are stored in parameter RAM (PRAM) and maintained across power outages caused by blackouts OR moving OR maintenance by a 3.6 Volt battery half the length of AA battery located on the motherboard.
    To reset the parameters to their factory defaults, open the side door (there is no interlock switch) find the tiny button flat on the board nearest the battery, press and hold for a quarter minute, wait at least five seconds more, then try to start normally. Avoid momentary presses.
    You should seriously consider replacing this battery, and until you do, every time power is interrupted -- including the time when you actually replace the battery -- you will have to perform this little ceremony.
    To boot from a CD -- provided it is in fact a bootable Mac CD -- hold down the c key immediately at startup. Many Ubuntu users have discovered what they though was a bootable Mac CD turned out to be a perfectly good installer, but was not Mac bootable.

    To add to what Nolan said...
    Before you delete the white background from the logo, first open the Layers Palette and rename the Background layer to anything else. It is sufficient to double click the layer's icon and accept the default name "layer 0". Then when you delete the background it will be replaced by transparency (checkerboard pattern).
    Since the logo background is solid white, the easiest way to select it to use the Magic Wand tool with the Contiguous box unchecked on the options bar. Click anywhere in the white and then <Delete>:
    Note: if you don't rename the Background layer the deleted portion is replaced not by transparency but instead by the current color as defined in the Background color swatch at the bottom of the toolbar.

  • Help me Please I have a connection problem

    So I saw a unknown device trying to connect to my router so I decided to track it as an intruder, and after an hour I saw that it was still there so I decided to remove(while I was still tracking it). I didn't know that device was my Pod touch and now it will not let me reconnect to the internet using my Linksys router. Please anyone if u know what to do tell me.

    I agree with above suggestion. you must go to your status center of your Network Magic, On the wireless protection setting disable your Networrk Lock.
    On the router setting page http://192.168.1.1./  enter user name and password (user name is empty and the password is admin by default) go to Wireless-- on the Wireless MAC Filter and click disable and save setting.
    Restart your computer, and try back to connect your device. It should be there.
    Hope this help.
