How do you find out about Kernel panics?
Can anyone please explain to me how does one find out about Kernel panics, where to look etc? Thanks and regards
When the operating system kernel, one of the most basic, foundational levels of the Mac OS X operating sytem, detects some kind of exceptional condition or internal corruption or when the hardware sends it a signal of some grave error, which can be a bug in the system software or a driver or can be a hardware problem and the situation is not one that can be dealt with and continuing operation is impossible, then the kernel "panics." It does it's best to shut down gracefully, but it's an abortive termination of all system activity, after which a reboot usually takes place (though you're notified and must intervene before that happens).
It is a serious error and should not occur, but computer technology, both hardware and software, being what they are, there's no way to absolutely guarantee they won't happen. Unix-based systems such as Mac OS X have pretty good reliability, especially since Apple controls both the hardware and software. Still, 3rd-party software can be incorporated into a system, and Apple does not control or certify that code, so there's ample opportunity for poorly written add-ons (especially hardware drivers) to cause problems.

How do you find out about new VoD videos
Quick question for FiOS TV users - how do you (personally) find out about new on-demand videos?
Do you rely on the Spotlight email, or the trailers playing in the VoD store-front, or mail inserts etc? Keen to hear what everyone thinks works best!
Thanks,
RichHere is one suggestion for you.

HT4906 How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed?
How do you find out if you have iPhoto installed on your MacBook Pro ?
It is about my Mac, but it's so I can sync my iPhone to my Mac. I was directed here from the Apple website.
But I don't have iPhoto in my applications folder, so I guess I don't have it installed on my computer.
I thought it did, as when I was going through my iCloud, everything apart from Photo Stream was selected, and underneath it, it said you had to have Aperture or iPhoto installed on your compputer (I back up everything from my phone to my computer, and iCloud)

How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did?
Using MYsql How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did. There are many titles to the different charities that is under the othpaytitle of the Otherpay table, I however just want to extract the non-contributors for a particular charity title. Is there anyway to do this? When I do the the syntax below it comes up as an "empty set". The search is done by way of the table Id matching and left joins. Please see below.
SELECT moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, sum(otherpay.othpayamt) as NO_Contribution, quadlt.ltfname as quad
FROM name
LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
LEFT JOIN quadlt ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
WHERE Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
AND name.type = 'BOI'
AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
GROUP BY brother
ORDER BY name.quadlt, brotherJust guessing based on your query, and assuming the above query works, just insert a "where" condition. I also removed the SUM function. Also, "AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL" may not be needed.
SELECT moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, otherpay.othpayamt, quadlt.ltfname as quad
FROM name
LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
LEFT JOIN quadlt ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
WHERE Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
AND name.type = 'BOI'
AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
AND othpayamt=0
ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother -
How do you find out if the transmitter and/or receiver leaves the session ?
So , how do you find out if the transmitter and/or a receiver leaves the session , is there an event when this happens ?
1. There is no list available from your end.
2. You can't actually check. If you suspect a device has been, deauthorize it twice and then authorize it.

How do you find out what your Apple ID password is?
A friend of mine forgot their Apple ID password and can't log in. They also don't have access to their email, but that's not the issue. He wants to know how you find out what your current Apple ID password is. He awnsered his security questions but all it would let him do is reset his password, without finding out what his current one is. How do you find out your Apple ID password?
You can't recover a password, only change it. The reason for this is that Apple has changed their conditions for passwords. They now need to have one upper case letter, 1 number, and be at least 8 characters. Also you cannot use any password you have previously used in the last year.

How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?
How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?
Hi,
Here is help for the operating system:
If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
Hope this helped. -

How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?
How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?
Your question may be better placed in the "Producing Podcasts" forum instead of here in iTunes for Windows.
I assume though (I don't produce Podcasts), that the host server (where the Podcast is downloaded from) has the option of providing that information to the Podcast's producers.
Two points though;
That information is likely to only be available to the producers of that Podcast, not to listeners (or competitors)
It's almost certainly an add-on service, that needs to be paid for, in addition to the hosting service.
If it's your Podcast, check with the host service that you use. -
How do I find out about apps for my business
How do I find out about potential apps that exist but that I don't know of yet
Hey,
What I would recommend doing is contacting the local Apple Store in your area. All Apple Retail Stores have specialized business teams that hold free workshops on using the iPad for business and have lots of knowledge about business applications/uses. Give your local store a call and ask for the business team!
Hope this helps =)
