How can you repair/restore a corrupted directory on your fashdrive?

Using a flashdrive with a 2008 mac book, I hit the flash drive and now the directories names are corrupted. One example of the directory's name is: <$ ® ø.a¦p
I am still able to use the flashdrive and save new documents to it and create new directories. Thank you in advance.

Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. Select the flash drive volume from the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab on the right panel near the top. Click on the Repair Disk button to repair the disk. If errors are reported then click on the Repair Disk button again until all errors are repaired.

HT204022 how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV. Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
Many thanks

How can you repair "invalid node structure and invalid b-tree node size"

I have a MacBook Pro 17" and the original install disk is Mac OS 10.4. I have an update 10.6 install CD, but I cannot use it to boot up my computer. My computer had been running on 10.6 when the problem occurred.
It seems my harddrive has crashed. It only boots to apple logo and spins. I have reset the pram. Started up in safe mode with shift pressed down and started up on the start up disk, where I did repair disk and got this "invalid node structure invalid b-tree node size". Then it said repair failed to complete. I tried booting again but it still failed. I thought doing a restore might solve the problem. I have a month old backup with time machine which is on a lacie external drive, but when I try to restore using my original 10.4 install disk, I can only choose the lacie hardrive icon (by dragging) and cannot choose the folder in the backups with the latest backup. When I tried to restore, it says my source is not a valid option. Is this because it is a 10.4 startup disk.
Basically I have two questions: Is there a way to fix my problem without doing a restore and if I have to restore, how do I restore my time machine backup? Will I need to do a reinstall with 10.4 and then update to 10.6?
I really hope to find a way to have my computer back to how it was when it started spinning and if not, at least as it was when I did the latest backup 3 weeks ago.
Please help me!!!

You should be able to boot to the Snow Leopard upgrade disc — you had to do so to install the upgrade in the first place. If you can't boot to it now, either the disc is scratched or dirty or your drive's lens is dirty; for the latter problem, a drive cleaning disc is an inexpensive, frequently-used and often successful remedy, available at any store that sells DVDs.
Because you're running Snow Leopard now, you should repair your hard drive directory using the Snow Leopard version of Disk Utility, not the one on your Tiger installer disc. If you aren't able to do so even after trying to clean your drive, you could buy and use DiskWarrior to rebuiild the damaged HD directory. But DW costs nearly $100, and though it would probably do the trick, that's a bunch of money. You'll have to weigh its cost against the value of the new or changed data on your drive that hasn't been backed up in the last three weeks. If you can get along without that data, then erasing your hard drive and restoring from your last backup is the no-cost, immediate (as opposed to waiting for a DW startup disk to arrive in the mail) solution.

How can you delete an old apple id from your phone

Although I have a new Apple ID, the old one keeps prompting for a password. How can I delete the old one?

Hi clairebrisvegas,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Your Apple ID is used for several services through your iPhone. To replace the previous Apple ID you will need to sign out of it in a few different spots and sign in with the current Apple ID (depending on what Apple ID you choose to use for each individual service). The services you may need to sign out of old Apple ID and into new one could include iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. You can see what Apple ID is currently signed in and sign out of it in the following areas: Settings > iCloud, Settings > Messages, Settings > FaceTime, and Settings > iTunes & App Store. The following article is a good resource that explains this process.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

How can you repair a pages document that crashes the program so it won't crash anymore

I have a Pages file 09' that crashes the program. I want to keep the file because of the time spent on it and formatting it. I am using a iMac with OS 10.8. I called support and they told me there was a Pages 11 out. I could not find it in the app store. I am using Pages version 4.3. This is the latest version I can find. You know the one, the one with the broken spellcheck program. I need to find a file repair utility. I do not want to just save the text. I want to save the file. Thanks.

I said you were using Snow Leopard because that is what is listed at the bottom of your first post. I don't know if it's just me, but I do find it difficult to edit that information since these forums moved to the current format.
I don't rely on the spell checker, mostly because spelling has always been a forté. Pages uses the system spell checker & does pick up the typos I make, so I don't know what to say about that.
Since the file can be opened biut crashes when editing it, you might try an old trick that often worked with AppleWorks & I've known of it working with Pages, too. Save the file with a slightly different name as an iWork '08 file format & then open that copy in your current Pages. You do not need to have Pages '08 to do this. In Mountain Lion, hold down the Option/alt key while clicking on the File menu & choose Save As…, check the box next to Save a copy as: & select iWork '08 from the drop-down menu like in this screenshot. This can often correct minor corruption.

How can you repair a MacBook air when it won't start properly?

My MacBook Air is just over 3 years old and thus out of warranty.
It gives a message that says the Preference Pane cannot be opened. Mostly the screen is black but sometimes (oddly) Adobe Bridge has a window ... but I cannot move to any other application.
1) is Genius Bar only available if your product is under warranty?
2) is there no way to check it? No recovery shows up when I option-restart.
Advice would be appreciated. the closest Apple store is an hour away.

Backup your files. If you have a 2010 model that came with a set of two software discs then do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. If you wish to upgrade to a later version of OS X, then do so on the App Store.
If you have the 2011 model then do this:
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT1491 How can you log in to I tunes on your iPhone if you can't remember the answers to your security questions?

I am trying to use I tunes on my I phone for the first time. I usually use my iiPod. When I sign in it ask for my password which is no prob then it asks me to answer my security questions. I can't remember the answers that I used. Is there any way to log on and or get the answers to my security questions so that I can download some music?

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

How can you tell if someone is spying on your iPad?

Trying to determine if someone is spying on my iPad where they can see emails, apps, websites visited, get personal info. THanks for the help.

Tracking someone who's snooping on your iDevices is simple. Super simple. Simply clear everything you don't want seen. Web pages, browser history, texts, emails and phone call log. Then double click your home button. Turn off all of your background programs right before you lock or allow your device to auto lock and BOOM! The trap is set. If you suspect a nosy significant other of snooping this will catch them. When you get back to your device and double click your home button it will show you everything that they looked at. It's totally stealth and totally free.

How can you tell if someone is secretly monitoring your computer?

Hi, I get the feeling someone is monitoting my computer remotely. It acts strange at times and constantly gets hot and information seems to be changed ot moved around when I sign back on. Also, when I look at system logs and such it's always saying weird things like stelth connection attempted and there are some things I can look up with my friends computer, that will not show up on mine and I mean things on the internet like Google and such. I'm 45 yrs old so I know that no parental blocks are on it.. But I feel like someone else or possibly my own (other half) maybe watching what I am doing online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

They probably are.
In reality of course, there is no such thing as total internet privacy: US and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails:

How can you upgrade from OS 10.4

How can you upgrade from MAC 10.4.4

Backup your computer.
Buy Snow Leopard.
Boot from Snow Leopard DVD.
Erase the hard drive.
Install Snow Leopard.
To get Snow Leopard:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
To upgrade further see:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I don't have access to my phone at the moment so I'm going on memory alone. On your homescreen follow Options>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting, or maybe you'll see Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Cell Broadcasting. I'm sorry I can't be more specific without a phone in front of me.

Please Help. How can you monitor a directory using jndi connection to a ldap server?

How can you monitor a directory using jndi connection to a ldap server? I
want the ldap server to monitor the content change in a file system
directory on another computer on the network. Can someone please help.
Thanks
Fred

Hi,
Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
perticular
directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
checksum
to find out the change in the content.
I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
instrument it for ur needs..
Hope it helps...
