Hmm...HELP!!!

Hello everyone,
Hey! Right now I am looking to purchase my first ever Mac and am trying to seek some advice from you guys. I am inbetween a new 12" powerbook or a refurbished 15" powerbook (on sale section of site for $1449). The refurb has a combo drive, but the new pb has a super. The refurb seems like a good deal, but im nervous about it coming scratched, damaged, etc. What would you guys reccomend? Oh btw, I am 16 and am mostly going to just use the comp for web browsing, chatting, iTunes, and word processing. I want a powerbook because of the style and I have heard that it is more durable and reliable than the iBook.

Buy a 15". The 12" has lots of problems. I bought one and I'm changing it for the forth time...

  • Hmm what ringtone to get...help?

    anyone have any cool ringtones to recommend im looking to get one but i need some good ideas have any?

    Hi, basnejiabby -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Re the constant freezing of IE 5.1 - IE (for Mac OS 9 and earlier) has a memory leak; it will gradually use up all memory allocated for it to use, and when that is gone, it will crash. Nothing can be done to fix that memory leak, but it can be compensted for to some extent.
    The way to do that is to increase its Preferred memory allocation - adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more if sufficient RAM is available, is not excessive. This does not eliminate the memory leak, it just grants more usage time before it is necessary to quit and restart IE (quitting and restarting resets its memory usage) -

    I would recommend any of the following versions of CarbonLib -
    CarbonLib 1.4
    CarbonLib 1.5
    CarbonLib 1.6
    There are earlier versions available, but most reasonably current programs will ask for one of the above as a minimum. Specifically, do not use CarbonLib version 1.3.1 - it is known to cause problems.
    Can't help with versions of Shockwave and Flash Player.

  • Error in creating a process using runtime class - please help

    Hi,
    I am experimenting with the following piece of code. I tried to run it in one windows machine and it works fine. But i tried to run it in a different windows machine i get error in creating a process. The error is attached below the code. I don't understand why i couldn't create a process with the 'exec' command in the second machine. Can anyone please help?

    thanks,

    As much as I understand from the readings in the forums, Runtime.exec can only run commands that are in files, not native commands.
    Hmm how do I explain that again?
    Here:
    Assuming a command is an executable program
    Under the Windows operating system, many new programmers stumble upon Runtime.exec() when trying to use it for nonexecutable commands like dir and copy. Subsequently, they run into Runtime.exec()'s third pitfall. Listing 4.4 demonstrates exactly that:
    Listing 4.4 BadExecWinDir.java
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class BadExecWinDir
    public static void main(String args[])
    try
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec("dir");
    InputStream stdin = proc.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    System.out.println("<OUTPUT>");
    while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
    System.out.println(line);
    System.out.println("</OUTPUT>");
    int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
    System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
    } catch (Throwable t)
    t.printStackTrace();
    A run of BadExecWinDir produces:
    E:\classes\com\javaworld\jpitfalls\article2>java BadExecWinDir
    java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: dir error=2

    at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
    at BadExecWinDir.main(BadExecWinDir.java:12)
    As stated earlier, the error value of 2 means "file not found," which, in this case, means that the executable named dir.exe could not be found. That's because the directory command is part of the Windows command interpreter and not a separate executable. To run the Windows command interpreter, execute either command.com or cmd.exe, depending on the Windows operating system you use. Listing 4.5 runs a copy of the Windows command interpreter and then executes the user-supplied command (e.g., dir).

  • I am at a loss with Verizon, isn't there anyone in corporate that can help us? PLEASE!

    We have been a customer of Verizon for several years and frankly had a positive experience until I made one fatal mistake.  I purchased something and should have just left things alone. In Dec. 2012/Jan. 2013   I purchased the newest 64 GB iPad retina and purchased it under their new program paying monthly for 12 months or I could pay it off prior to that 12 months.  The only condition to the contract was that while I was paying monthly payments I had to purchase the data plan for the iPad.  Sounds harmless enough right? Wrong.  It only took a few weeks when I was out of town when my iPad quit working.  After calling tech support it was found that the salesperson at the Corporate Verizon store had voided the original contract for an unknown reason and reworked another contract and submitted it; however I never signed the second one as I wasn't anywhere around.  They claimed he called my cell, he didn't. This salesperson had text me several times prior to my purchase of the iPad so we had communicated together and since that day I purchased it there had been no further communication from this individual.  My phone and bill was proof of that as there were no incoming calls that entire month from his number or that Verizon store's number.  On my next bill I had, according to Verizon, purchased TWO i Pads not One.  I explained what the salesperson did so they agreed and credited my account.  This was just the beginning.  For the next 7 months I dealt with this issue of calling every month trying to prove that I did not purchase two iPad's but in fact purchased only one.  Each month an extra loan payment of $71.66 was added, an extra data charge of $30 was added, a $2.00 previous balance fin.fee added because I would not pay for the fictitious iPad, & extra service chg for taxes and whatever charges they add were added. Of course all these charges increased with a $101.77 increase in my bill each month. Then there would be the added $5 late fee chg they'd add when they did not credit the $101.77 in an appropriate timely fashion which would make it look like we were delinquent when we were not.  So basically, I was paying $203.54 each month for one iPad if they had their way.  They even said at one point I was delinquent on the loan if I kept refusing to pay.  They actually had TWO CONTRACTS on file yet no disciplinary actions occurred in this case.  I had to drive 30 miles to the corporate store on more than one occasion trying to get this fixed and each time everyone kept saying this will be the last time.  Then come September the store became rude and abrupt to the point I wasn't ever going back there again for how they treated me and my husband.  We finally did get this part of the bill corrected and I would have to say got most of the money refunded, not all, but at least it was enough to just let it go and move on.  So this was my FIRST mistake, I purchased an iPad and I should have listened to my husband that Verizon cannot handle changes in one's account.  In mid December our iPad was paid off so we disconnected our data service to it and strictly used wireless when needed.
    My android phone had become so undependable I had to finally look to purchase a new phone after having this phone replaced several times via my insurance.
    I have a serious medical condition that requires me to keep a phone on hand in the event I need medical help immediately.  It is a life or death issue for me.  So in December I purchased a new phone for myself.  My local Verizon store was out of the iPhone 5 S, which was what I wanted and it was suggested by them to check out Best Buy.  So off I went.  That day, Christmas Eve, I purchased a phone for my daughter, the iPhone 5 C, and that seemed to go OK.  At at least for a couple months then her phone went crazy.  We were having issues with crank calls and had her phone # changed.  After her number was changed Every call she made it would register on caller ID as another man's name.  It was the owner of the new phone number and we know this because we were constantly receiving phone calls up to 2 am for him w/re to job offers, etc.  It took Verizon 7 weeks to correct the caller ID issue.  SEVEN WEEKS.  But then her voice mail began going to a bogus Google account that no one ever had or set up.  It took several hours with tech support where they accidentally disconnected her phone and had difficulties getting it reactivated w/o changing the activation date.  At one point she could only make calls but could not receive calls.  Now her phone works but she has no working voice mail and the answer I receive is "we just don't know why".  REALLY?  "We just don't know what else to do?"  I am not sure how much more I can take. Well I soon found out.
    On May 6th I had to make a call to Verizon, we had made several prior to that getting our bill in order w/minor mistakes, but all of a sudden I had a charge and increase of over $50-60?  After researching we found they reactivated my iPad.  After the customer service agent researched it he found that the woman who was suppose to suspend it placed it on a "seasonal hold" and never took it off, even after stating I wanted the Verizon service to this unit disconnected.  He was very nice and professional and stepped up to take care of the bill, Maybe too much, or beyond his authority I guess.  Anyways had he done his job we wouldn't be here right now.  A window is suppose to pop up telling you if there is an early disconnect fee, something I've literally just learned yesterday, I guess one did but why didn't he say something to me is the question I have? Notations showed that He automatically credited my account $340 and never notified me of the warning on my account or the credit he was doing.  I've asked for this call and the recent calls and calls from December-January to be pulled but no one seems to listen.  Anyways when I hung up that day on May 6th it was to my understanding my bill was Finally resolved.  I pay Verizon $207 a month give or take a few dollars and I had three phones two of which were i Phones and one a flip i-phone.  He also then tried to give support to my phone and he and tech support were unsuccessful.  My phone has 3 apple/Verizon apps that came on the phone, they were not added extras.  They are grayed out & say "waiting" under them and never loading up.  We've reset it to org. mfr. settings & a whole lot of other things to that phone and it still won't work.  I even reset the phone when I was in a 4G, LTE area and nothing.  So what to do, I don't know.  But right now I currently have two new phones not in full working order and can't get help for it yet I pay for the services each month.
    Then on May 21st I had to call again.  If you recall, I believed the bill was finally fixed but in fact I received a bill this month for $605.74 !  Yep, you have seen those numbers correctly.  Now this so called early termination fee that was credited on May 6th (which I didn't know any of this until June 10, 2014) was now back on my bill.  After dealing with a customer service agent for almost 20 minutes I finally got to a supervisor Jonathan. He listened patiently to our issues on the bill and my concerns and requests of wanting phone calls pulled to show what I was saying was fact.  Even just with the recent call on May 6th I felt mislead by not being given all the information.  I mean, why would I deactivate a device when I have been a Verizon customer for over 5 years and you were talking $30 charge a month vs. a $340 charge to terminate.  I mean it isn't logical.  I am stuck because as you will see below, I can't swap out the phone numbers of the iPhone 5 S and the iPad.  The only other option is the iPhone 5 C and that is a new contract and already has a contract on it.  In fact it is the only phone device that has a contract.  It just did not make any sense.  It was evident I was not told the entire story of what was happening in January with my phone purchase.  They failed, customer service, to read all the fine print.  They stated oh don't worry we do this all the time and there has never been a problem.  Knowing all along that this iPad was to be and stay disconnected because I repeated it several times and even asked now the iPad is not going to be an activated account correct?  No, it isn't she would state.  All the services and contract will go to your phone including the 2 yrs.  This has not happened. I shared all this with him and explained why changing my number was not possible.  It could literally destroy my business and I would of thrown away twice this amount of money because I recently spend a lot of money on promotional materials, literature, flyers, business cards, etc. all which have my phone number on it and again all known by my customers past and current. So Jonathan promised he would be on this, request for calls to be pulled, and would return my call within a 24-36 hour period with some type of update or resolution.  I did honestly chuckle sharing with him that with the exception of one lady months ago calling me back about upgrading my acct, ( I was out of town & missed her call) no one at Verizon has ever returned a phone call-never.  His response was this, "I did not get in the position I am in for not returning calls.  In fact it is why I am a supervisor maim, I do what I say."  Hmm, Its June 10th, Where are you Jonathan???  I am still waiting for your phone call.  Heck, even a text message or email will do.  Just tell me where you are on my acct. vs. forcing me to call and spend hrs. rehashing all of this over and over like a broken record.  Or Have you forgotten my phone number?  I have pneumonia right now and laryngitis and I have had to strain my voice to no end on the phone trying to get a resolution before my billing date with no luck. 
    I then went through all of the above issues and that the phones, ---3532, ---9249, and ---8921 should be the only phones w/contracts and activated on our account. Well my phone---3532, the one I just purchased, had no contract.  The contract was placed on my iPad, the very iPad we cancelled out in December.  They kept insisting I purchased it recently at Best Buy?  Then I realized it was my iPhone purchase causing the nightmare.  Another purchase and its screwed up my bill, when will I learn Verizon can't handle changes.  I recalled the agent stating it was 6 months before and upgrade was possible on my phone which with my medical issue wasn't working.  So she said we could use the number but all the upgrades and contract will go on your 3532 number.  I verified is the 2 y contract on my, MY cell phone number because I only want THREE items on contract.  She stated yes and we went over the bill several times including the new bill.  Now I have no contract and have three other items.  You now tell me to solve this issue I need to throw my phone number out and transfer my phone number from my iPad to my new iPhone 5 S.  Sounds easy enough....NOT..     I just purchased almost $600 worth of business literature, business cards etc with my phone number on it.  Plus all my customers know my business through my phone number.  And since you do not announce this # has been changed and here is the new number, I'd loose many of my old clients and possibly new clients.  I could end of loosing thousands of dollars with this mistake.  I have called over and over pleading an your support team gave me a legal dept number to call and that basically was a joke for my concerns.  So here I am .  Praying someone from corporate  reads this.  Right now I have two phones out of contract and I am almost to the point I will shut them down and leave you with the bare min until our contract is met.  And I mean it would be the bare min.  I want this issue resolved immediately.  I believe we have gone through enough as a customer.  It is bad enough I have two phones not working 100%, My iPhone 5 S - I can't even use it at home yet my daughter talks all she wants with no issues.  Me, its all gurgles and choppy when I am at home with two bars.  But add the bill issues and it is ridiculous and inexcusable.
    Now I have called several times after May 21st trying to get to the bottom of this and have been told to wait why they read all the notes to finally have me explain what has been going on to them telling me it shows Jonathan entering notes they are still working on it.  This is not good enough.  Today is June 10th and my bill is due June 11th which will bring it late on June 12th.  And the way you people are, you will probably shut me down June 13th.  I just don't have time in my day to call the "WINBACK DEPT"  because I don't have to be won back I have never left. You need a KEEPCUSTOMER DEPT or DONTLOOSE U DEPT because you are about to loose us and be left with an account that will be more of a nuisance to you. 
    You have the information to my account, go to it.  Pick up your phone and CALL ME, FIX IT..  Lets please fix this correctly. 

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
    Thank you,

  • Help OCing Neo2 Plat w/ 6800

    Ok, just for a heads up, I used the search and I couldn't find anything related to my problem, so here I am. With that being said, my specs are in my sig. Here's the problem:
    I built this rig about 1 1/2 months ago. I have had a few issues, but nothing major that couldn't be solved by reading through the forums here.
    Anyway, I finally decided to OC it a bit. I had previously only been playing with the BFG 6800. I had gotten some pretty good AM3 scores out of it. The CPU OCing was a piece of cake. I kept the multi at 11 and just kept raising the FSB. Now at about 223-225FSB I notice that Aquamark3, or any other 3D app,  starts to become slightly glitchy. Some weird flashes of stuff here and there. This is with the graphics card running stock speeds of 350/700. I then lowered the CPU down to 11 x 209 @ 2.3G and the problem went away, even OCing the vid card as high as 380/760 wasn't a problem. I tried raising the FSB to 225 and the problem persists, regardless of vid card clocks.
    Here's what I have tried so far. With the card running stock clocks of 350/700 I have tried setting the AGP frq. to 66,67,68 and 69, to no avail. I'm pretty sure the norm is 67 for it to lock. Thinking it may be my RAM, I tried it with the 166 divider, rather than the 200. So at 225FSB, the RAM should be @ 191FSB if I'm not mistaken. That didn't work, so then I tried the HTT multi, thinking it could be related to that. I tried it at 5x(when FSB below 209), 4x(when FSB sbove 209) and 3x(with ANY FSB) and still nothing worked.  
    I'm really kind of stumped with this and don't really know what else I can try? Is it possible the AGP/PCI lock is just failing? Is there another setting somewhere in the BIOS I need to look for? Also, the BFG 6800 has been softmodded and has all pipes enabled(16/6). Could that be the cause? If it is, why would the graphics only go crazy at higher clock speeds(hmm...I'll have to persue that)? Like I said, I'm just stumped here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Scooter, the FSB will NOT go past 225 before the graphics get all crazy. I've tried different multi's, memory dividers, memory voltages, AGP speeds, AGP frequencies, fastwrites, sideband addressing and a ton of other crap I can't even remember at this point. If there is a configuration that works, among all the options that there are to play with, the odds of me finding it are the same as winning the lottery.
    I also would like to mention that this faulty board does indeed have a 6800/MSI Nforce3 conflict that is totally unacceptable!!! I don't have the same issue with the 5900 in this box that I do with the 6800! I posted in the umpteen page thread regarding the 6800/Nforce3 conflicts too...After 3 previous MSI purchases, I can honestly say that this is the straw that broke Sillys back!
    This thread has been up for almost a week and not a single moderator has even offered a lame assed solution to make me feel as if someone gave a ratsass, or was trying to help, so much for the user to user help eh?...Scooter, thanks for at least trying bro, I'll catch ya around AIM...I'm done.
    Thanks.

  • Trouble with my T1's and E1's in the lab - please help.... :-)

    I'm working through my CCIE Voice/Collaboration training materials and am just about finished with the physical construction of the lab.  At this time I'm just going to install a new T1 card into my BR1 router and I'm trying to get my T1 to HQ (HQ router) and my E1 to BR2 (Branch2 router) up and running.  I am enclosing the "show run", "show isdn status" and "show e1/t1 controller" outputs.  I am using a 2801 for my HQ router, a 2851 for my PSTN/IP-WAN router, and a 2811 for my BR2 router.
    I am using a T1 cable RJ-48C/RJ-48C.  I'm embarassed to say it - but I don't have a cable tester at the time.  I lended my backup out to a friend and my primary one is not working.  I'm also not 100% sure that I'm using the correct cable.  I have VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 cards in my routers and I have a 2851 (PSTN router) setup to give connectivity via the T1's to HQ and BR1 and E1 connectivity to BR2.  I have taken the liberty of attaching my configs, as mentioned I don't think I have cable issues because this is the case with all my cables.
    Main issue, in the "show isdn stat" the layer 1 status is "deactivated" and when I do a shut/no shut the status goes to "shutdown" and doesn't come back up despite my efforts to enable the interface.  The only way to fix it is to reboot the router.  I've got to be missing something - I just want to get my T1's and E1 up for my CCIE Lab.  I'm building my lab based on the CCIE Voice specification and have the ability to get it modified eventually to fit the CCIE Collaboration lab.
    ***PLEASE go easy on me - I'm sure there is a fundamental configuration item or concept I'm not thinking about so I'm preparing to look like a fool - but that's okay....it's part of learning.  :-)  ***

  • Need help choosing how to extend my existing home network to my detached garage?

    I have done as much research as possible on this scenario but cannot seem to match the ideal solution with my wants.  Perhaps I simply just do not understand networking as well as I thought I did.  Either way, any helpful information or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Objective:  Extend my wireless network to my detached garage.
    My current ISP provider is Time Warner Cable.  I have RoadRunner Extreme, which in my area gives consistent speeds of 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload when I am connected via ethernet cable.  When I upgraded to the "Extreme" package i found out I was forced to use their Motorola SB6580 ... its a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem + wireless router.  I was able to access the Motorola's setup options on the internet and I disabled the wireless function.  This has allowed me to use my Time Capsule as the primary router to provide wireless access on my home network.  I have not had any issues with this setup and is my preferred way to operate.
    I have recently moved my home office to the 2nd story of my detached garage and need to extend my wireless network to meet the demands of all my gear.  I have decided to achieve this goal by going with one of the following 3 options:
    1.)  enable the wireless function on the motorola modem making it the primary router.  move my time capsule out to the office and use it in bridge mode.  However I do not think I understand bridge mode correctly.  I thought the secondary router (in this case my TC) in bridge mode needed to be connected w/ an ethernet cable at all times to enable this feature?  If I understand similar networking discussions I will lose the ethernet ports with this option?  If this isnt called Bridge mode once i take away the ethernet cable what is it "technically" called?
    2.)  buy a 2nd airport extreme base station and create the same type of wireless network extension setup.  The difference here is I would leave my motorola's wireless features disabled, use 2 apple products that speak apples to apples wirelessly and relieve myself of all the headaches involved with a neopolitan setup.  This seems like the obvious choice b/c Apple products are much more user friendly, but I dont want to spend the $200 on a new router if I can achieve a comparable setup by just enabling the equipment I already have. 
    3.)  use either of these 2 scenarios above & go buy a 150' ethernet cable to join them together.  if this is the case wouldnt a $50 hub suffice on the end of the cable?  I dont necessarily need to have wireless, just reliable connectivity.  I can access the existing wireless network now, but download speeds are not great and things really start to slow down when i have multiple clients connected.  I would rather not have to drill through exterior walls, bury conduit and install learn how to install data wall plates, but i will if this is the pros far out way the cons.
    Current modem/router placement:  if standing @ the front door of my 1 story house facing out towards the street my motorola modem/router is in the front right-hand corner of the house.
    Distance location of the detached garage office setup:  if standing @ my front door my my work area is in the far back left corner of my property.  it is approx 175' from the router and on the 2nd story of the garage.  I said 150' cable earlier b/c i could relocate the router to a bedroom on the opposite end of the house, however this would eleminate the current wired status of the items connected to it and I would prefer to keep them wired in.
    clients connected in the house: (4) apple tv's; Roku; Xbox; Wii; Playstation 3; (2) Lenovo laptops; iPad; (2) Blackberry's; (2) iPhones; iPod touch; (2) wireless netowrk printers; (2) smart tv's ... a handful of these are currently wired into the time capsule now which provides an uninterupted viwing experience for the MLB package.  This of course trumps all opportunity costs involved with moving the router.  There is nothing more frustrating than a screen buffering in the botton of the 9th inning after you've sat there for 3 hours.
    clients connected in the office: (2) 27" imacs; apple tv; iPad; network printer; Wii; Harmony Link universal remote; Mac Book Pro ...
    I have approx 5TB of digital media that is shared over the network via shared iTunes libraries that I would like to access as well.  iCloud helps with all of our household gadgets as far as acessibility but with all the backups going on simutaneously it also creates headaches when you need the throughput.  I need to do a better job of managing those settings.  nonetheless, I would like some guidance on the best way to extend my current netowrk, suggestions for better scenarios i did not mention and thus am probably not aware of and any networking 101 schooling if it doesnt sound like i understand the way bridge mode/network extension works.  sorry for the long post and thank you for your time & help.

    Ethernet beats all other solutions hands down..
    A single ethernet connection from wherever is the closest point in the house to the garage office... wins. You can plug a router working as AP and switch or pure switch on to it. Get a cabler in to do the job.. and they can probably figure it out and do the whole job whilst you scatch your head.. yes you will pay for it.. but a cabler knows how to do it. And most likely leave the inside network exactly as it is. Since office is important to be reliable.. there is one and one only reliable method.. ethernet.
    If the garage and house are on one electrical circuit.. which is doubtful if it is a separate building then EOP adapters can often work well.. They do not handle earth leakage protection, breakers (rather than fuses) or meters at all well.. but if they are simply all connected to power.. behind the same meter and using old fashioned fuse box.. EOP rated at 200mbps or some now are 500mbps can work reasonably well. Speed about the same as wireless at its best but if it works when installed will generally not change with the weather, moon, and wind direction which wireless is liable to do.
    Wireless bridging.. hmm avoid if possible. For reliable connection no.. apple products can do wireless repeater but as you mentioned that turns off the ethernet ports except for the Express.. that is the only unit you can use as a bridge and plug a switch into it. Why Apple why??
    So if you want to bridge two points by wireless buy specialised wireless bridge.. that means an AP in the house plugged into the existing network.. and AP unit perhaps on the outside of the garage.. or in windows if you have a window in the house that looks at a window in your office. Look at products from companies like ubiquiti.. they are not too expensive but professional equipment and designed for precisely this kind of work.
    Hence the reliability is dramatically better than domestic stuff.. and will require a lot less work to maintain the link.
    Conclusion.. wire it.
    Unless you rent the house.. an investment in ethernet cabling install once properly and forget .. beats every other solution even if it costs x5 as other solutions.

  • New Macbook  Blue Screen problem.. Help.

    I have a problem with my mac. Whenever I turn it on, it loads up as usual, and then it shows a gray screen with an apple, loading, (yeah, the usual stuff). THEN, all of a sudden, there would be a light blue screen that would stay for about 3 seconds, then a darker blue screen, then it would load to my background and load successfully.
    I don't like the blue screens. I did not have this problem before... whats up with this? I need help removing it!
    I think it started when I created a partition on Boot Camp for windows. I was so frustrated I even deleted that partition, hoping the blue screen would go away. Nope, it did not. Does anyone have a solution?

    Here's an answer for you, plus a coupla questions:
    Answer: Live with it, it's normal for the Leopard startup process. Remember the startup screen under Tiger with the progress bar? Apple ditched it with Leopard because (on newer, faster Macs) the boot time is much shorter overall.
    Coupla Questions:
    You repartitioned your HD to use BootCamp. See whether your HD is the same size it was before you tried BootCamp. If not, try resizing it back to full size using Disk Utility with your Install DVD. Any help?
    Have you considered backing up your stuff to a DVD, and then re-installing Leopard from the DVD, to restore to factory-fresh settings?
    There's one more thing you might try to relieve the boredom every time you start up: enjoy Verbose Mode! See this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    There is actually a way to make your Mac boot in Verbose Mode all the time. But it's kinda geeky.
    The real solution though, is not bothering to restart your new MacBrick, er, Book. Apple has perfected (IMHO) sleep technology on these machines, so why bother? Even a power loss while a Mac is asleep isn't a problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757
    (Oh how I love those KnowledgeBase thingys . . .)
    So consider not restarting unless absolutely necessary, hmm?

  • New ipod to replace stolen one, current iTunes, PC laptop - not happy! Help

    Okay so here is my problem - I'll try and describe what I've done as best I can. I've been through all the Apple help and can't see any error message info like the one I've had.
    Recently got new 30gB black iPod to replace a stolen one. As they only come with USB chargers I decided to charge mine on my work PC computer which does not have any iPod/iTunes software (this is where I think it started to go wrong...)
    I then plugged it into my laptop with iTunes already installed from previous iPod. Error message came up on laptop saying iPod recognised, but there may be a problem with the new hardware and it may not work properly. Then the icon disappears and I can't access the iPod through anything - not seen in iTunes, My Computer - nowhere. Hmm...
    Incidentally my wireless internet at home is down and I can't get online on my laptop (which might also be part of the problem).
    However, I plugged the new iPod into a colleague's work computer with iTunes installed, it recognised my iPod, and I was able to register it online and give it a name. Tried it back on my laptop again to update my iTunes library and nothing. Incidentally I have got the latest iPod update on my laptop but seeing is it's not recognising it in the first place other than saying there's a problem, I can't do anything with it.
    I've tried putting the iPod into disk mode when attached to the laptop but it says Ok to disconnect, there's no other change in the screen. And I don't see a folder with an ! nor a sad face so all in all I'm totally stumped.
    Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? I'm really worried about totally uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling because I don't have an external storage drive yet and I'm frightened I'll lose all my music.
    Please please please can anyone help? thanks x
    Dell PC laptop   Windows XP  

    hiya!
    interesting. was the previous ipod also a video? the videos and nanos have more features, and that seems to make them a bit more sensitive to a slightly flaky USB connection than some other models.
    let's check to see if this is an issue for you:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    ... i've also seen the Toshiba treatment work on a Dell (note that the video probably won't charge off the Dell if you try this).
    iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • The best way to get help with logic

    I was posting in a thread on support for logic which appears to have been deleted. anyway, what I was going to say I think is useful info for people, so I'm going to post it anyway. to the mods - it doesn't contain any speculation about policies or anything like that. just an explanation of my views on the best way to deal with issues people have with logic, which I think is a valuable contribution to this forum.
    I think there's a need for perspective. when you buy an apple product you get 90 days of free phone support to get everything working nice and neat. you can call them whenever, and you could actually keep them on the phone all day if you wanted, making them explain to you how to copy a file, install microsoft office, or any number of little questions no matter how simple - what is that red button thingy in my window for?.. on top of that, you've got a 14 day dead on arrival period (or 10 days I can't remember) in which if your machine has any kind of hardware fault whatsoever it's exchanged for a totally new one, no questions asked. a lot of people complain that applecare is overpriced.. and if you think of it just as an extended warranty, then it is a little pricey. but if you are someone that could use a lot of phone support, then it's actually potentially a total bargain. the fact that 2 or more years after you bought a computer, you could still be calling them every single day, asking for any kind of advice on how to use anything on the machine, is quite something. many people on this forum have had problems when they made the mistake of upgrading to 10.4.9 without first creating a system clone or checking first with their 3rd party plug in vendors to make sure it was ok. so, with apple care, you could call them and keep a technician on the phone _all day_ talking you through step-by-step how to back up all of your user data, how to go through and preserve your preferences and any other specific settings you might not want to lose, and then how to rollback to an earlier OS version.. they'll hold your hand through the whole thing if you need them to.
    as for applecare support for pro apps like logic, I'd be the first person to agree that it's not great for anyone except beginners and first time users. if you look at what it takes to get even the highest level of logic certification, it's all pretty basic stuff. and logic doesn't exist in a vacuum, there is an entire universe of 3rd party software and hardware, as well as studio culture and advanced user techniques that are going to be totally invisible to some poor phone support guy at apple that did a logic 101. but it's not hard to see that apple are trying to promote a different kind of support culture, it's up to you to decide whether you want to buy into it or not.
    the idea is that they are able to provide basic setup support for new users, including troubleshooting. because it's a simpler level of support, at least they can do this well. so there's no reason why any new user with say a new imac and logic can't get up and running with the 90 days of phone support they get for free.
    but the thing is, for extremely high end pro users it's a different matter altogether. pro use of logic within the context of say, a studio or a film composition scenario is a very different world. it's almost a nonsense to imagine that apple could even hire people capable of giving useful support for this end of the spectrum, over the phone. there are so many variables, and so many things that require a very experienced studio person or in-work composer to even begin to understand the setup, let alone troubleshoot it. and it's a constantly evolving world, you actually have to be working in it and aware of developments on 3rd party fronts as well as changes in hardware.. not to mention even changes in the culture of studio production and the changed expectations that come from that. there's no way some poor little guy sitting at a help desk at apple can even hope to be privy to that kind of knowledge. it's already good enough that they don't outsource their support staff to india, let alone go out to studios and hire the very people with the skills that should be staying in the studio! not answering phones for apple.
    so, given this reality.. companies have two choices. they can either offer an email based support ticket system, which others do. but in my opinion.. this can just be frustrating and only a half-solution. sure you 'feel' like you are getting a response from the people that make the software and therefore must know it.. but it's not really the case due to what I said above. DAWs don't exist in a vacuum, and so much of what you need to understand to help people requires an intimate knowledge of the music industry in which they are working. you still won't get that from steinberg, even if they sort of answer your emails. the other problem is that this kind of system can mean sporadic answers, a lot of tail-chasing, and quite often you won't get an answer that helps you in the end anyway.
    the other model is to foster a strong user support culture. some people react in the wrong way to this idea.. they just think it's a big brush off from the manufacturer, saying we don't care, go sort it out yourselves.. but this isn't true. apple has a classification for pro resellers called 'apple solutions expert - audio'. what this means is that these dealers are recognised as audio specialists and they can receive extra support and training from apple for this. but more importantly than this.. most of them are music stores, or pro gear dealerships that are also mac and logic dealers. they already employ people that have worked or do work in the music industry, and are constantly on top of all of this stuff. apple encourages these dealers to run workshops, and to provide expert sales advice in the very niche area that logic is in, which they can do far better than some generic apple store ever could. but most importantly, they are encouraged to offer their own expert after-sales support and whatever other value-adding expertise they can, to get sales. because margins in computer gear are so tight nowadays, discounting is not really a viable option for these dealers to guarantee getting musicians to buy computers and logic setups from them. the only companies that can entice people with a lower price a big online wholesalers or big chain stores. so the best idea for these niche expert stores to get sales is to offer you their own experts to help with configuration, ongoing support and to generally make it a better idea that you bought your system from them rather than from some anonymous online store. I can see the wisdom of this.. it puts the support back out there on the ground where it's needed, and also where it can work best. apple could never hope to offer the same level of expertise in helping a film composer work through some issues with a specific interface or some highly specific issue they have with getting a task done. no big software manufacturer could do this anywhere near as well as people out there that have worked in studios or currently do work in studios. so in my opinion it's a far better model to foster this kind of support culture, along with training courses, books and training video support. also user forums like this one are possibly one of the most valuable ports of call anyone could ask for. apple couldn't replicate this with their own staff, even if they tried. and even if they made a system where some of the people close to logic development were able to answer emails, it would still be nowhere near as useful, as rapid or as capable of being up to speed with logic use out in the real world with 3rd pary gear, as any of these other methods are.
    the only thing I think they could do better would be to publish a list of known bugs which are officially recognised. this would help everyone and put an end to a lot of wasted time and speculation on if something is a bug totally to do with logic, or if it's a specific issue raised by a particular configuration.
    but really, in my view, a 3rd party support and training culture through a combination of specialist dealers, consultants that literally run a business setting up computers for pro-users and helping them keep it all working, online user-to-user forums and published materials really are the way forward.

    In all honesty this is currently the 3rd "logicboard" (motherboard)
    in my powerbook due to a design flaw regarding the 2nd memory slot....
    Yep. Mine failed five weeks after I bought it. However, I bought it for work and couldn't afford being without it for four weeks while they fixed it, so I had to live with it. My serial number did not entitle me to a replacement either, post Applecare.
    My firewire ports have burnt out from a third-party defective device (no hot-plugging involved)
    My screen is blotchy (my PW serial number did not entitle me to a replacement).
    My battery serial number did not entitle me to a replacement, and is not that good these days.
    My guaranteed Powerbook-compatible RAM is actually not, causing RAM related problems, most notably these days meaning that as soon as I switch to battery power, the laptop crashes, so I can only use mains power. The company I bought it from stopped taking my calls and wouldn't replace it after they replaced it once, so I'm stuck with it. And of course, only one ram slot is working, so I can't even use my original stick in the first slot, which would shift the dodgy stuff away from the lower system area.
    My power supply failed at the weak spot and caught fire. I managed to break apart the power supply and recable it so I didn't have to buy a new power supply, although the connection at the laptop end is loose (all the more fun that as soon as power is lost, the laptop crashes - see above). The power supply is held together with gaffa tape. Silver gaffer tape though, so it's still kind of 'Appley"...
    My internal hard drive is dying - four or five times now it clicks and won't power up, causing the laptop to die.
    One foot has fallen off (but glued back on).
    The lid is warped.
    The hinge is loosish.
    The S-Video adaptor cable is intermittent.
    But aside from all that, I have looked after it well, and I love it to death. Just as well, because it doesn't look like it will be that long...
    But it still "just works". Apart from the battery power obviously. And the ram slot. And the ram. And the screen. And the hard drive. And the firewire ports. And the feet.
    But everything apart from the main board, the screen, the case, the hard drive and the power supply works fine. So thats... er..
    Hmm.

  • Garageband 10 and Digidesign 002 will not play nice...Please help!

    Back Story:
    I have a 2008 iMac with upgraded RAM.  It has been working perfectly, er, IS working perfectly.  No need to upgrade yet.  I am running Mountain Lion, and ProTools 8 through a Digidesign 002rack.  Everything is fat and happy.
    One day a couple of months ago...I was happily plunking away doing whatever, and I get the prompt to upgrade to mavericks.  I think to myself, this should be a good way to make sure my 5 year old computer looks and feels brand new.  I run down the list o software I use thinking if there will be any compatibility issues...itunes, safari, firefox, word, excel...hmm, should be fine.  so I upgrade.
    Mavericks is great!  Looks cool, has a few new features to sync with my ipad and iphone.  Life is good.
    I wake up in the middle of the night with a great song idea (usually the good stuff comes to me while I'm sleeping).  I fire up the rig and...wait what?  ProTools won't launch.  I do a quick google and find that PT will not yet work with Mavericks.  Ok, that's fine, I can wait until they fix that.
    Few weeks later, I hear they've fixed it!  Woohoo!  Oh, hmm, Avid has only fixed it for the newest version of ProTools, PT11.  That's $600.  Ok, well, I have a decent job, I take great pride in my music, and it makes me happy...so...ok, I'll drop the 6 bills and upgrade to the new version of PT.
    When on the Digi site, looking at compatibility...I see that my 2008 iMac with the intel core 2 duo processor will not work with PT11.
    Hmm.  Ok, now what?  Downgrade back to Mountain Lion?  Apple won't let you do that, and I do not have a time machine backup.
    Last ditch attempt...I try to install my Snow Leopard operating system from a disc that I still have.  Nope.  Installer not compatible.
    Argh.  So now I'm saving for a new computer, so I can run the new version of ProTools...replacing a perfectly working machine for absolutely no reason.  This is frustrating.  Until I save the money (it probably makes sense at this point to wait until the newest 2014 iMac comes out in the fall...therefore futureproofing myself as much as possible), I figure I'm stuck with Garageband until then.  So I download the newest version of GB, GB10 from the app store.
    I fire up the 002, go to the preferences in GB and select the 002 for input/output, plug in the guitar and...nothing.  no sound, no recognition of input.  As a test, I throw in a drum loop, and no sound for output either.
    I go into audio/midi utility, 002 is selected.  My Digi core audio manager says the 002 is connected.  If I change the GB preferences to "built in output," the drum loop comes through loud and clear.
    I am so totally out of ideas, and so completely frustrated at my whole situation, that I am turning to the general public to help me for the first time ever.  I am willing to try anything, in any configuration, to make my freakin' guitar plug into my freakin' computer and record whatever semblence of notes I am calling a song.
    This should not be too much to ask given the thousands of dollars worth of equipment I have sitting on my desk.
    AAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!   Please Help!

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?
