Help! PB gone nutty
I put a blank CD in the drive and then shut the computer down, but too hastily. I think the computer was still trying to recognize the CD when I hit the shutdown button. I didn't notice anything had gone funny until I tried to start the computer a couple of hours later. Upon pressing the power button, the computer beeped three times, like a telephone busy signal, then the sleep light came on and that was it. In my desparation, I opened the computer and manually extracted the disk. Still no response. I then proceeded to pop the RAM out and then back in, after which the computer started up perfectly. However, now it crashes frequently (every few minutes), all kinds of strange error messages pop up (System Failure, with lots of numbers....) and it frequently reverts to beeping three times upon and freezing after powering up. I've done PRAM and PMU, to no avail.
Thanks for reading. I'm really desparate: I had to use a PC with Windows to write this post and now I feel sullied and unusual. Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hi captainpablo
have al look if the RAM-module sits firmly in its socket. In chapter four of [this manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/PowerBookG415inDblLayerSuperDrive.pdf] you can find out how to locate it, be careful with the clips at the sides, they tend to break.
If you have two modules, you can try one after the other in the two different sockets.
If available you could also try with another RAM-module.
Good luck P

For some reason my 'Help' is gone. The window opens but there is not text at all and the forward and back buttons do nothing.This happened once before but I don't remember what I was told to do to get it back. Seems like I tossed out some sort of files but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Help help everything gone!
so when i open my finder i decided to rename the House looking thing, sorry I'm new to mac, and now all my photos that were in iphoto are gone. I don't know what i did wrong and its as if I've reset everything. Whats going on?
Open the Users folder on your hard disk and rename the folder which currently has the house icon to something else, and then rename the folder with your data to the original name of the folder with the house icon. Log out and log back in to restore your data. If you want to keep the new name of your home folder, see the second or third paragraph of this post depending on what you want to do.
To change the name of your account properly, use this utility.
To change only the name of your home folder properly, rename it in the Finder and use the NetInfo Manager in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder to change your user account's home property to contain the new name. Don't alter or delete anything else in the NetInfo Manager, and log out and back in after changing this property. This can also be done on its own to restore your data after renaming the home folder without renaming any more folders.

Help--shapes gone--only a pink outline in Flash CC
I had a shape tween that was working fine yesterday.
Today I'm in my Flash CC .fla file and I no longer see the fills or colors of the shapes--I only see a pink outline.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a screen shotOh thanks so much. I had never used that--I must have accidentally clicked it.
It's the little things you don't know that knock the wind out of your sail.
Thanks SO much for the quick response! -
In the past month or two, the icons in Finder have gone crazy! When I open a folder, the icons are correct (e.g., the familiar PDF or Word icon). But quickly, all the icons change to a generic looking spiral notebook with no indication of file type. The same thing happens to Word and PowerPoint files, Pages files, HTML files, and assorted other files randomly.
The Get Info function shows the correct icon at the top regardless of what is being used in the folder. If I copy/paste the Get Info icon, the icon shows up in the folder until the next reboot.
I have downloaded and run Onyx which eliminates the .DS_Store files throughout the system and does some other default-setting things. No change. I verified the disk drive. No problems found.
Short of a trip to the Apple store, is there something obvious I am missing? Thanks.Copy & paste this one-line Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/) command into the window that pops up when you launch it, hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, and restart.

Hi there I recently sent my ibook g4 to the repair shop http://www.mactivate.ie/ only to be told that the mother board is gone. My ibook is about 3 and a half years old. The price I was quoted to order and install the new motherboard including tax was 893 Euro's!
(A) Is this normal for Apple ibook's that after 3 years the motherboards just go?
(B) Is there anyway that this can be done cheaper (ie. I do it myself), because right now I might as well buy a new laptop which is a bit crazy.klom79:
While logic board failure is not "normal" for any mac, some macs, like the iBook G3 and G4 seem more susceptible to this particular kind of hardware failure. Apple recognized this with Expanded iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program. The prices quoted in the posts in this thread seem a bit high compared to those offered by some repair facitilities like DT&T.
I suggest that you contact Apple Customer Care (not tech support) and ask about the extended repair program in terms of your computer. If you are not covered, and if you think want to attempt repairing it check out PowerBook Tech for parts and ifixit. for directions.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

I am a relatively naive user of CS5.5. Suddenly, today, when I ask to use the help function for Ai and ID, I get the message:
Adobe AIR: This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance.
Re-installing what? Adobe AIR or the whole suite. (why Adobe AIR?)
How do I do it?Check this link :-

HELP - Export Transparent Image in CS3
There used to be a very useful function in CS2 under Help which was Export Transparent Image. What happened to that function in CS3 and how the hell do I export transparent image now in CS3?
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Thanks.I hear what you are saying Noel... But I came to these forums in good faith with a question about a tool I found useful that was no longer available. I admit I let my frustration show in my first several postings about this because in the other topic on this issue, one of the staffers here even tried to say the function did not even exist. That in combination with the attitude that 'anyone that would use this function must have no experience' or should be using Photoshop Elements did not strike me as either very helpful or polite. I would never let one of my staff treat a customer who came to us seeking help to act this way. It is inexcusable and I saw from the other postings that I am not the only one who feels this way.
Here is a selction of a few of the things she said to me... she seems to have confused me with someone else?
"Dear same idiot who feels the need to use PM to continue an ended/locked/deleted forum discussion,"
"There is no point in continual messaging unless you feel it is some sort of release for your mental condition. Your message is clear. I have no problem comprehending your words. I simply disagree with your insane beliefs. I understand fully who used the function and why it was removed. I was simply stating a fact and offering an alternative that you seemed to ignore. I don't care if the function meant something more to you. Nothing I can do is going to bring it back or afford you any better people skills. You need to get over this... and get over me"
"I just found the Google cache of the closed thread and realized that you may not be the same idiot that contacted me earlier using a fresh forum account. But that still does not make you any less of an idiot."
"The question posed in the forum was "How do I export transparent images in CS5 like I did in CS4?" The question was "viable" and answers were given by others and myself. Just because you do not like an answer does not mean you have to act like a child."
"The answer was not to beg Adobe to bring it back in a user to user forum. If you want to communicate with Adobe, go to their feature request form."
"If you were a designer for 30 years, you would have known how to make a transparent file prior to the Help function that Adobe added for a few versions. With that Help function gone, you should now have the intelligence to craft an action to do the same thing with the press of a button. It is not really a challenge. If you need assistance, bring this topic back to the public forum. Your rude PMs are worthless to us both."
"I look forward to further discussion in the public forum where you don't need to hide your personal problems in PMs."
I find these kind of responses by a staff member of Adobe forums to abusive in nature. Granted after getting this kind of rude response back to my questions, I returned in like kind. I usually do not have these kinds of interactions online, I find them childish and a waste of time. They do nothing for the greater good of the forums and help no one. but I don't take kindly to being treated with disrespect.
I hope this does not exemplify the tenor of communication here on Adobe's forums. If so... it would be a shame, because Adobe has a great reputation in our community. It would be a shame to let a few individuals tarnish it.
I for one would prefer that the person is question has no further communication with me. I think that would be best for all concerned. Thank You.
