Help tech worst case senario

i was happily using my imac 17 in' for a few years now delaying getting leopard until the price dropped ( it didn't and i finally crashed a bought it) i messed around with the new applications for about 2 days then disaster struck in the form of BOOT CAMP
i split the disk drive into 2 pieces 32GB for windows and about 120 for my mac hes where i hit the land slide running
#1 there was an error with splitting the drive and i had to reinstall leopard unknowing that i had accepted deleting my ENTIRE disk drive and about 2000 songs with it
#2 now i need to admit to everyone I'm a techie of low standards and i "Barrowed"
my offices copy of ./shutter Windows 2003 server edition and loaded it with a fancy bit of working the lop holes
#3 and this is the part you will all kick me for when it started the loading the program it asked me for a 25 digit code on the instruction book which was thrown away many a year ago
#4 this is why a 25 digit code will not help me now. i ejected the disk and restarted it praying that apple will open .... no dice so i put in leopard hopping that it will load the apple OS i have and error message and can no longer eject the disk
so now i am forever doomed to an error message and karma is having a fare bit of revenge i need help and i think ill take it in to a apple store tomorrow. unless one of you guys has a wonder cure

Hmmm... When you try to reboot into the Leopard DVD, did you hold "c" or "option" ? Also, when you say that it doesn't boot, does it give a folder with a question mark, or does it not display anything (white loading screen forever)? Something that you can try is holding command+"s" at startup, which will boot you into a Command Line Interace, single user mode. At that point you can type "fsck -fy" to perform a disk repair on your hard drive. This shouldn't erase any of your data, but it will check all the necessary system files to make sure everything is correct, then repair it if it isn't. After you type that and it goes through that process, you can type "quit" to continue booting. Good luck!

  • Fake Adobe 24/7 help tech's

    Hi: 
      This is a warning. I posted an issue here on Friday and was contacted on Saturday via e:mail. The claimed to be with Adobe24/7 help requested to connect on Skype messaging. The icon on the  Skype was Adobe helps.
        This tech and one that phoned me were imposters. I found that out because I was missing the serial number on my receipt and came into find were to find it. After over an hour with the chat help which was a nightmare.  It was concluded I had been scammed.  I know have a bootlegged version of Adobe PSE 13 and there was some kind of other software in the program the each time I open this fake PSE13 loaded bits of a program into my computer. Thankfully I became aware early enough that all the components needed weren't loaded and with Apple Support was able to remove it from my Computer. 
    The real  Adobe support person today had the nerve to tell me if I wanted Adobe software I should have bought it from Adobe and the couldn't help me. Even though she had been advised that I downloaded the program with the assistance of what I understood to be Adobe 24/7 help techs.
    A police investigation is underway.

    To answer your question SG no I haven't gotten a valid PSE 13. My funds are all tied up do to the investigation and after what happened I want one in a box with the documentation and I won't be ordering on line.  At this time PSE9 appears to be working on Yosemite so I may not bother. I'm pretty discouraged with Adobe's customer care and security.
    I didn't give out my e-mail yet they had it and it was the one associated with my Adobe account.
    The original e-mail has magically disappeared. Below is a screen shot of the contact logo on Skype.  PayPal and Skype have both investigated and deemed it fraud. Skype has terminated that fake Adobe ID.  PayPal is giving me a refund. Apple support has been amazing in helping clean out the computer of the bootlegged PSE13 and all the spy and malware that came with it. I attempted the real Adobe help again and just got the run around.  I spoke  to a wonderful person at the Adobe corporate offices in Ottawa and they contacted global security who said that as  I was a customer and the scam was not done by a company employee I had to go through customer care and customer care had to contact them.  This I had a phone number. I ended having to key everything under the old case number.  The person couldn't or wouldn't understand what I was saying, when insisted on speaking to someone  could he put me hold for a very long time. I hung up when a client came to my door. Then I receive an e-mail form customer care with a the link to my case. Which of course scared me. Given the situation. I looked the e-mail very carefully and it did have the proper case # and the e-mail as you noted SG so I decided it was real. I keyed in my tale again which I have told to many times over the past few days.
    It amazes me that other then the person in Ottawa and now you SG  no one at Adobe seems to be concerned that someone out there is impersonating them and scamming their customers.

  • Worst case scenario for spam update error

    hi friends
    i need to know what is the worst case scenario if our support package stack update(SPAM) process fails. I am asking this question because we dont have a DR system.I mean we dont have test server to check our restore & recovery. We have ECC 5.0 and our SPAM updates are long overdue. I need to convince the management to prioritize this activity and my boss thinks that since we dont have test server if anything goes wrong then we might have to restore the db which he is not in favor of.
    i would really help if you could provide me some suggestions.
    thanks in advance.
    regards

    Hello Nathan,
    Very first you need to convince your management that since you didn't had the Support package update in your system actually you are not having the latest corrections available in the system. As per Best practise you should keep the systems to the latest available support package levels.
    Now, to your question.Support package update is a easy but critical activity. Easy because it is bit effortless and critical because major changes are involved with the corrections. UPdate for BASIS support package can bring your system to HIghly unstable state (I am just talking about Worst case scenarios) as they update the system basis tables. Application component packages if aborted due to some errors can have problems in the business cycles.
    So anyways you'll have to keep proper backup of your system available just to make sure if, by chance you are not able to complete the SP update under the given downtime window you should have the possibility to restore and release the systems to the business users.
    This will not be the new thing you'll be doing as majority of the customers don't have DR server to the rescue.
    You can discuss with your team and decide a suitable backup strategy.
    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards
    NIraj

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.

  • Please help in following case

    Please help in following case u2013
    Sales Quantity Contract has a quantity 75,000 Tons. The rate is 24.50$ so the total amount is 18327500.
    But the actual quantity in order is 77,500 (2500 tons extra) . Now I would like to bill the extra quantity at a different rate (25$). Also in billing document I need two lines to mentioned break up of quantity and rate like u2013
    75000 X 24.50
    2500 X 25
    How to deal with this situation in pricing / condition type?

    Hello,
    You will have to insert another Line Item of the same Material with additonal quantity. This will ensure that you will have separate Line Items in Invoice also.
    Now coming to Price. If your Price is entered manually in Sales Order, then you can easily enter different Price for each item (24.5 for 75000 & 25 for 2500). But this will not be the case & Price will be determined based on Condition Records.
    Now, look for a free field in Sales Order, my suggestion will be either of - Material Pricing Group or Price Group or Customer Group or Price LIst. These feild are at Sales B tab at Item Level in Sales Order. I am sure one or two of these will not be used currently in your company.
    Say you select Price Group. Goto IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Pricing - Maintain Price-Relevant Master Data Fields - Define pricing groups for customers. Here define a variable say 01 - Extra material.
    Now insert this field in your Condition Table for Pricing & maintain condition record for the same. Thus while creating Sales Order, user will have to select 'Extra Material" in Price Group field in Sales Order & system will automatically determined Price.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • Does worst case analysis work with model parameters?

    The worst case analysis does not seem tow work with model parameters. I performed a worst case analysis on a simple one transistor amplifier stage. It gives correct answers for resistor tolerances, but for the transistor model parameters it never changes them. I did the same with a diode in the circuit and entered tolerances for the diode parameters and it never used the tolerances.

    That's the same message I get. See attached circuit.

    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that  all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

  • Need Help Escalating My CASE!!!

    I'm starting to get extremely frustrated. It's been over 6mths without my computer, I've spent many hours I dont have on this chasing down customer service. customer service keeps promising me a call back and nothing has been done to resolve my case.  
    Long story short ... I sent my IdeaPad t400 for repair about 3 months ago to a place out in Grapvine, TX and within a few weeks recieved a notificatin advising all issues have been fixed and we should recieve laptop shortly in the mail.  A few days later I received the laptop in worse condition.  Powered laptop and it had a black screen with a media missing message and a day later a harddrive was sent seperatly?  Hmmmmmmmm after more hours researching I finaly was able to determine the harddrive that was sent was the one for my laptop.  WHAT and HOW and WHY??? !!! 
    More hours on the phone with techincal support and the warranty department. Finally, the case got escalated and a replacement system was supposed to have shipped out 2 weeks ago but the agent handling my case has stopped responding to any communication.
    Two months have past and I have no updates.  I advised the agent I needed a working system soon, they agreed to escalate it. then exchanged messages and calls with Crystal Holeman who indicated a replacement new system would be shipped out in 7-10 days since there was no ETA on my repair. That was almost 2 months ago. I've sent daily emails and called her almost every day--SHE will not respond. SHE is the worst customer service MANAGER there is I have no idea why she stills works there.  This is not the fist time they see her names in threads this is LUDACRIST for someone who is management not to respond or better yet set examples for her employees or the company.
    Need this computer for work. been an incredible waste of time already to deal with this and extremely disruptive.
    can someone PLEASE help me get this addressed ASAP?
    Case Number:  8003909099
    THANKS!

  • Need Help Beyond HP Case Management - Losing A Very Loyal 20 Year +HP Customer.

    I am not sure where to turn to for help at HP beyond HP Case Managment, so I am turning to this board as a last measure for help.
    I just bought a new HP Laser Printer, (HP Laser Jet 200 Color MFP M276 PCL6) few weeks ago and after countless hours of me trying to install the printer, being on the phone with both my companies tech support and HP’s Tech Support and no one being able to install this printer HP Tech Support (whom were wonderful) turned me over to the HP Case Management team to resolve my issues.
    The HP Case Manager Eric {Personal Information Removed} called me today saying he was calling to help me resolve my issues, he gave me a case number of Case # {Personal Information Removed}. Up until Eric’s call all of the HP representatives had been wonderful to work with and also complemented me for being very understanding, nice and easy to work with. However that would quickly change with Eric’s call. Eric was the most insincere, disrespectful, condescending, belittling and arrogant/cocky person that I have ever spoken to in my life. He did not listen to what I was saying at all, but rather continued to talk over me in a condescending/belittling manner the entire call!
    Because Eric was obviously not listening to me at all, and I honestly do not feel that he is even capable of listening, I had to ask the same question over and over again with him, and then he in a very disrespectful and condescending fashion told me that I keep repeating myself and then proceeded to get very offensive and rude.
    I googled HP Case Manager, Eric had had multiple complaints and bad reports about Eric, go figure....
    Eric offered no help what so-ever and kept telling me that he is the final authority at HP and that he has no manager and there was no avenue or no venue at HP to report him, said that he was the authority.
    He then sarted being very disrespectful and blantly rude, telling me that I could go report him to the world wide web if I wanted to, just extremely unprofessional and quite frankly ignorant.
    Please give me a call as soon as possible to help resolve.
    Thanks!!!

    So sorry you had such a bad experience, I too purchased a HP 7510e photosmart printer from Staples for $200.00 Canadian, I could not get it to print off photo's, I called HP for help but they just blew me off so I continued to try myself. I took it back to Staples but they told me the 10 day return policy had expired so I contacted HP again, this time I did get help and he could not get it to work either, by the way I purchased a care pack agreement for it as soon as I brought it home, good until 2014, anyhow they did send out a refurbished product to me to replace the new one. This one has been a nightmare and when I call the service department they inform me that I have to purchase another service agreement (SMART FRIENDS) for 6 months in order to get help or I would be charged $60.00 per incident.
    [Content Removed]
    I used to be able to contact HP and get help for my products without any problem, poor language skills and all but now I just get the run around.
    As for the bad manners and rudeness there is no call for that and it is disgacefull that anyone should speak to you in that manner. I registered my service packs but it never shows up on the USA side. I wish there was a way to contact the directors of HP to Lodge a formal complaint but so far had no luck finding a number to call. Good luck to you.

  • Lenovo G550 - Keyboard/Mouse/Pointer Issues - PLEASE HELP Tech suppport couldn't.

    I spent over an hour on the phone with Lenovo tech support last week to try to solve this issue and it is not solved. The guy had never heard of it and kept researching how to fix it.  I personally  have this feeling that it's a very very simple issue but I can't figure out how to correct it.  I've changed mouse/pointer settings and it still isn't working.  I love my new laptop in every other way but i'm getting so frustrated with it I'm ready to send it back because of the problem with the mouse/pointer.  So if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it greatly.
    I will be typing and out of nowhere the cursor will move to wherever the mouse is...or it will highlight everything I just typed and delete it.  I've had to type much slower and keep moving the mouse but when i'm working on my projects and typing away and highlighting/editing, I get into the work and it's a pain in the rear when the cursor suddenly moves a paragraph up and I am still typing away and sometimes don't realize it until i've typed another two sentences.  Hence the typing slower.
    Today it deleted discussion posts I had typed up for my online classes before I had hit submit. Causing me to waste another 30 minutes trying to retype what I'd already done.  I was ready to throw this laptop in the garbage.
    I decided to not do that and post in this forum in the hopes that someone will be able to help me.
    Thank you,
    Komal
