Help needed. Having problems loggin in to my computer

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Mac os X 10.5, and since then I have been having all kinds of problems loggin in to my computer. It is not recognizing my password. I reset the Admin password using the install dvd disc, but that still didn't help. I loggin but I don't have access to any of my files or documents. Could someone please help.
Thanks in advance.

you really need to decide if you are going to reinstall or try to fix your current system. I just posted a long answer to your other thread.
is your current account listed as admin in system preferences?
and what happens if you try to log into your old account?

Help! Having problems with sound on my 4s

Ive been having problems with the sound on my iphone 4s, it sometimes has a ringtone and has keyboard clicks but it wont play music or have any ringtones or anything. It doesn't even come up with the volume scroll bar or the volume buttons on the side no longer work. This isn't due to liquid damage or anything, this is a software issue. Is there anyway to fix this?

Did you connect any Zen MP3 player when the problem occur?

I purchased a new imac about 2 months ago. I have been having problems with my ichat ever since the beginning. When ever I open my ichat to login it says: Lost connection with AIM, the connection to the host was unexpectedly lost, Almost immediately upon login. I have never infact been able to access ichat because I can never login. My internet connection is fine, I have been using the internet with no problems what so ever.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how to solve this problem.

Help needed, authorization problems

When I buy songs from Itunes I'm asked to authorize my PC. Although I then get the message, that authorization was successful (1 of 5 PCs), I cannot play the song and again and again the authorization field pops up, it's like a loop. I have no idea what to do anymore.

Scroll down to the "Remove the SC Info folder" section of this article and see if it helps...

Bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?, bought snow leopard 10.6.3.( mac intel i3) having problems installing product. after 15mins computer freezes any ideas?

Hi recently bought snow leopard 10.6.3. Having problems installing. My i Mac has intel i3 and system 10.6.8 . After about 15mins the computer restarts but freezes with apple logo. Any ideas? thanks alan

Yes, 10.6.8 update was specifically to ease the Lion installation (apart from some security updates).
Juat log onto the App Store (Icon would be in the Dock by default) and find the download. If you're not already registered with App Store, you'll need credit card info to hand, and your Apple ID (the one you use to log in here or the iTunes Store if you use it).
You would only need the retail SL disc if you were running 10.5.8 (Leopard) or earlier.

I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

By "exponential number, do you mean one in scientific notation (eg. -1.55743e21) or what?
What do your files look like?
What problem are you encountering? Is an exception being thrown? If so, give us the exact message (copy/paste). Is the results simply not what was expected? If so, give us the input, the expected results and the actual results for us to compare and consider.

Help..having problem with MP3's on a X

I have just purchased an X-Fi Elite Pro, because of all the problems with the cracking and popping of my older Adugy card! Hope I didn?t waist that $400.00 bucks! It started having some weird loop problems when playing MP3?s through the Creative Media Source Player. It doesn?t do it all the time, but when it starts?I will need to reboot with the reset button to make it stop. If I catch it quick?I can get out of the Creative Media Source Player by Ctrl/alt/delete. When the loop problem happens it is at the start of a song that won?t play complete. Kinda like it starts the song and gets hung and keeps trying to start over and maybe one channel is ahead of the other?if that makes since! It almost has a phase shift effect to it, but if I am not fast enough and it plays that loop too long?I can't make it stop with out rebooting! I have not had any other problems so far and this has only happened in the Creative Media Source Player, but I have not tried Windows Media Player in a while!

Just try another player st.
If same issues happens, then reinstall directx (latest), audiocodecs (pack like k-lite, ACE), creative drivers/software. Maybe SP2 reinstallation too.
Also check all audio settings (SR, Bitdepth, effects, buffers, ...) you have there (creative control panels (and windows panels too)).
You can also check if
- any hardware conflicts/IRQ sharing(s) there
- onboard audio is disabled and uninstalled (drivers)
- remains from Audigy installation (drivers, dll's, etc.)

Help Needed: Serialization Problem

I've got a problem with serialization, which is better illustrated with an example (slightly modified version of example in Tech Tips, February 29, 2000, Serialization in the Real World. The problem is that comparing serialized static final fields doesn't return correct result. Any help on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Here is the code:
====================
import java.io.*;
class Gender implements Serializable {
String val;
private Gender(String v) {
val = v;
public static final Gender male = new Gender("male");
public static final Gender female = new Gender("female");
public String toString() {
return val;
public class Person implements Serializable {
public String firstName;
public String lastName;
private String password;
transient Thread worker;
public Gender gender;
public Person(String firstName,
String lastName,
String password,
Gender gender) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.password = password;
this.gender = gender;
public boolean isMale() {
return gender == Gender.male;
public boolean isFemale() {
return gender == Gender.female;
public String toString() {
return new String(firstName + " " + lastName);
public static void main(String [] args) {
Person p = new Person("Fred", "Wesley", "cantguessthis", Gender.male);
//-NOTE: there ia no problem with this check
if (p.isMale()) {
System.out.println("a male: " + p);
} else if (p.isFemale()) {
System.out.println("a female: " + p);
} else System.out.println("strange");
class WritePerson {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Person p = new Person("Fred", "Wesley", "cantguessthis", Gender.male);
ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
try {
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(
"Person.ser"));
oos.writeObject(p);
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
if (oos != null) {
try {oos.flush();}
catch (IOException ioe) {}
try {oos.close();}
catch (IOException ioe) {}
class ReadPerson {
public static void main(String [] args) {
ObjectInputStream ois = null;
try {
ois = new ObjectInputStream(
new FileInputStream(
"Person.ser"));
Person p = (Person)ois.readObject();
//-NOTE: this is the problem: the check returns false
if (p.isMale()) {
System.out.println("a male: " + p);
} else if (p.isFemale()) {
System.out.println("a female " + p);
} else System.out.println("strange");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
if (ois != null) {
try {ois.close();}
catch (IOException ioe) {}
}

The Gender class implements a type-safe enumeration, but its implementation needs to be improved to ensure that re-creating a Gender object via deserialization doesn't create new objects but uses the existing objects. See this article for details on how that's done:

Help needed - DEP problem

Hi.
I need help with the installation of Flash Player ActiveX.
I have Win 7 Home Premium Edition, 64 Bit.
Everything worked perfectly on my laptop, and I could saw flash objects both on the 32bit explorer and the 64bit explorer version.
Until recently I've clicked on the 'Restore Default' button in the Explorer menu.
Since then - when I try to broswe with the 32bit Explorer edition - I keep getting messages like the following:
"Internet Explorer has stopped working"
And then - "
Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on.
Other things you can do:
Go online to learn about the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security feature"
When I disable the "Shockwave Flash Object" from the adds-on menu - everything's good, just I can't see the flash objects, of course.
I'm tring to install the Flash Player ver. 10.2.159.1 through the DLM or through the manual installation - each time leading to the same result - "Internet Explorer has stopped working".
With the 64bit Explorer edition - I get no error message - but no flash displayed as well.
Any help will be much appriciate.

Ok, I tried to lower it to the minimum - problem still exist.
And of course I've uninstalled it before. I know a little about computers, just not enough, apparently..
Keep on trying!
(Oh, BTW - I've successfully installed flash on the 64Bit version of explorer. ver. 13 something... is there is something like this?
Anyway, now I need my 32bit version to work...)
TY.

Help needed, possible problem with HDD

In the last few weeks, my iMac has become quite slow and tends to freeze fairly often. The other day I turned it on and was met with a kernel panic screen and could not access my desktop or any of my files. To find the source of the problem I ran an Apple Hardware Test which gave me the following error:
4HDD/11/40000004:SATA (0,0)
After searching on the internet, I decided to boot from my OSX install disc and run Disk Utility. After verifying the disc, and repairing the disc, the scan revealed that there was no problem with the HDD. However, I was still being met with the kernel panic screen whenever I tried to turn on the computer.
After booting from the install disc again, I did an Archive and Install, which finally let me get to my desktop, however the computer was once again running slowly and after another Apple Hardware Test it resulted in the same error as above.
After more searching on the internet, I decided to remove the 3rd party RAM from my iMac and replace it with the original RAM. No success again.
More searching brought Disk Warrior to my attention. After purchasing the program, I ran the included scans and once again was given the result that there was nothing wrong with the HDD.
After this I decided to run Tech Tools Deluxe which came up with a Directory fail, even though the Disk Utility and Disk Warrior scans found no such problem.
So what procedure can I take now, I am hesitant to perform a System Restore as I do not want to lose my files, but this may be my only option.
Please help.

Okay, I ended up installing OSX to my external HD and booted from that. Ran Disk Warrior from the external and used it to rebuild the internal HD. After the rebuild DW gave me the message that it could not replace the new directory with the old directory as there was a disk malfunction. I managed to copy all of my important data to the external.
I'm guessing that the internal needs to be replaced? I'd rather start fresh with a new one than risk this happening again anyways.
In any case thank you very much for your help, it was much appreciated .
