How to fix faults when gaming?

i've started playing games from steam that are on mac, the two i have the problem with: borderlands 2 & BioShock, and i use a gaming mouse.
once it reaches part of the game where i inevitably have more than one weapon/usable item in my inventory it keeps constantly switching between these two items, like the weapon switch button is being used constantly, and there is no way to stop it. any suggestions?

Try pressing these buttons in order and once pushed hold the selection. At the end you will be holding 3 buttons and hopefully it will start!!
1). Hold power button (Dont let go)
2). Hold Home button at bottom (Now holding 2 buttons)
3). Hold Volume up button (You are now holding 3 buttons)
4). Hold until it powers up and hey presto!! (If it doesnt work after about 30secs then it wont work)
Hope this helps!!

Lion does not include Rosetta.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

I get nothing but error messages, -
"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or the same with: 364?
Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to give answers to how to fix these errors because when I "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING! Yet you give us these stupid error codes
then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft. How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
to do or how to fix it. You need to add each error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it. I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:

I hope this helps.

How to fix ipod when it tells u ipod disabled connect to i tunes

how can i fix my ipod touch when a friend put the wrong password in now it tells me ipod disabled connect to i tunes an it still doesnt work

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes on your computer.

When i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?, when i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?

A couple songs on my iPhone 4s show the wrong album cover but they play the wrong song. When i go to albums it shows the right cover but when i pick the song it will show a diffrent cover. Its like some of my song covers are switched. How do i fix this?

There are 2 things you can do, the first (and by far the easiest) is to delete all of the music off of your iPhone and then put it back on. Also you might want to check that everything is in the correct place on the iTunes library. If you downloaded any music from iTunes without using a cd and it is not in your iTunes library you can go to the iTunes Store and on the right side under "Quick Links" and select purchased. It will let you download anything you have ever purchased in iTunes.
The 2nd option is to backup your iPhone and save ALL of your apps to iTunes on your computer. Restore the iPhone and set up as a new iPhone, Don't worry all of your contacts will be in the cloud if you have it enabled. Once you set it up you can re-download all of your lost apps for free. Make sure your iTunes music is all in order and then sync the music back up.
I hope this helps!

How to fix everything when power goes out during install? [SOLVED]

last night I was installing kde and during the install process the power went out. I tried uninstalling kde, but pacman said dependencies were missing (I need dependencies to remove stuff?), so I tried reinstalling the kde group and that seems to have worked.
What is the best way to recover from something like this and how can I be sure everything is now fixed?
Last edited by RiceKills (2010-05-31 21:58:05)

you can skip pacmans dependency checks with the argument -d.
as far as i know, you can't fix files that were destroyed by a power outage.
in my experience, it's rather rare that power loss destroys files (provided you use a stable file system).
usually it's sufficient to do a thorough file system check with the repair option enabled (don't do this while the filesystems are mounted or at least mount them read-only). usually you can invoke such a file system check with shutdown -Fr now.

How to fix crashing when PDF and procedure for cross reference?

I'm using Frame 8. When I try to PDF my book, Frame crashes. I have tried PDFing the individual chapters, but that didn't work.
Also, I'm trying to create either a cross reference or hyperlink. I have a paragraph that says "For more information, see the Setup section in Chapter 1" The Setup section in chapter 1 is a heading 4. I've tried using the instructions in the Frame help, but I don't understand them, and I don't know whether I need a hyperlink or a cross reference. Can I get simpler explanation and how-to?
Thanks!

Several things could be causing the crashing during the PDF creation process.
1. Have you applied the MS hotfix mentioned here?
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2009/07/repost_hotfix_for_framemaker.html
2. In your PDF Setup, make sure that you have Tagged PDF turned off and in the Links panel enable "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs".
Try it again and also make sure that you have applied all of the FM8 patches in sequence.
You can use either cross-references or hypertext links to create the jumps, though cross-refs are easier to do and maintain.
1. To insert a cross-ref to the Chapter 1 Setup section, you first would need to have Chapter 1 open along with the document that you are currently working on.
2. At the location where you want to insert the cross-reference, select the Special > Cross-Reference menu option.
3. For the first time that you use a cross-reference, you have create a format for it. In your case the "For more information, see the" and "section in" are constant strings and the section name "Setup" and "Chapter 1" are the variables.
    a) Click on the "Edit Format" button in the Reference section towards the bottom of the window. This will open a new dialogue window allowing you to create a format for use.
     b) In this window, give the format a name so that you can easily identify it, such as "More info in Chapter section".
     c) Then you have to enter in the "Defintion" line what you want the cross-ref to say, which could be (without quotes) "For more information, see the <$paratext> section in <$paranum[Chapter]>." The items in the angled brackets are building blocks used by FM to pick up content from the specified destination when you make the cross-ref. The first one <$paratext> specifies to grab the content of the paragragh that you point to (in this case it should be "Setup" section heading. The <$paranum[Chapter}> item will grab the autonumber value from the Chapter tag (or use whichever one that you have for chapter numbering at the start of each chapter).
     d) Once you're satisfied with your format, click on the Add and then Done buttons. This will save thgis format in the cross-ref catalog.
4. To actually insert the cross-ref, select the target document (e.g. Chapter 1) from the drop down list for "Dcoument:".
5. Then under the Source Type (the down arrow below the Document), make sure that you have Paragraphs selected.
6. In the left column you will see the paratags available in the Chapter 1 document.
7. Pick the paratag type that contains the Setup section title (heading 4 ?).
8. In the right-hand column you should then see all of the heading 4 tags in Chapter 1.
9. Select the Setup in this column.
10. Check that the Format line shows the one that you created earlier ("More Info in Chapter Section") and then click on the Insert button.
You're done.
If you don't like the formatting or it's picking up the wrong content, then open the cross-ref dialogue again and edit the format to get what you want.

How To: Fix Permissions When "Everyone" Is Set To "No Access" On HD

I was messing around with the Permissions of the Macintosh HD. I set the "Everyone" option to "No Access," by right clicking on the Hard Drive and choosing "Get Info." Of course, when I reset the computer it would not boot up. I read numerous posts on this Discussions website, only to find solutions in which you have to enter suspicious commands in the Terminal. This made me uneasy of course, as I had no idea what those commands would do to my machine.
I tried Repairing Permissions, which did not fix the issue. Time Machine backups were hopeless.
I finally found a solution to this issue without having to enter suspicious commands into the Terminal:
Insert the original Snow Leopard install disc that came with the Mac. Power the computer off, then back on. Before you turn it back on, hold down the "c" button on your keyboard. It will take a minute or two, so keep holding it down until the "Languages" screen appears. Now, all that you have to do is follow the on screen prompts to reinstall the OS. *This did not erase any of my data.* The reinstallation took about 45 min, and all was well after that.
I decided to post this as I did not find a solution this simple anywhere during my search for a fix. Sorry if I may have posted this in the wrong forum. I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same issue.

Niel's guide is not some random post, it is in User Tips, which means Apple employees have looked at it. Personally, I would trust anything Niel says more than I would anything an actual Apple employee said anyway. Indeed, I would trust Niel's advice more than advice I would see anywhere else at all!

How to fix popups when pop up blocker is already on?

I have already gone into Firefox preferences, turned my popup blocker on, and removed all exceptions. However, I'm still getting a TON of popups, mostly for software updates and downloads. There is no malware on my computer and the popups do have the Firefox bookmark bar, so I know they are coming from Firefox.
Please help! It's really frustrating and slowing my computer down because they're constantly getting in the way when I'm trying to navigate.

Please update to the current Firefox 26 release.
*Help > About Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version.

The Firefox 23 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
*It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.

How to fix errors when trying to erase an old external drive?

I have an external drive I used to use on my windows machine, which I wanted to erase and start using on my mac.
When I plugged it in to my windows laptop, the drive was there and I could access files.
I plugged it into my iMac and again I could see the drive and the files.
I went to disk utility and tried to use the erase feature. I got some errors and retried. The last error was 'file system formatter failed'.
Now the drive appears to be invisible on both the mac and the windows laptop! Is there anything I can do?
Veronica

I agree with dianeoforegon the drive sounds like it is dead or dying, to be more specific it sounds like it is suffering from 'bit rot'.
You could try going to the partition tab in Disk Utility and making sure it is on GUID and not MBR or APM, then set it to a single partition and try to format it. Also you could try the security option in the erase tab to force it to write to each block as a test. The lowest level is to do no security erase but the next level up will make it write once to each block, this will be sufficient to make it test each block.
Disk formatting utilities are supposed to be able to detect bad blocks during formatting and to mark them bad and to use 'spare' blocks. Unfortunately Apple's Disk Utility seems to be totally useless at doing that. Even if you have a tool which can do this it is not wise to trust a drive with lots of bad blocks (a handful might be ok) as a large number is a sign the problem is spreading hence the term 'bit rot'.
The only tool for Mac I have seen which even attempts to map out bad blocks is Scannerz from SCSC.

How to fix Firefox when stops loading content

Firefox has become virtually unusable for me. After a little bit of use, the program just refuses to load new content. I don't know what the issue is that's causing it but I've done everything I can to try to fix it:
"Reset" Firefox in the Help area
Set up a new profile
Tried Firefox in Safe Mode
Removed all of my add-ons
Complete uninstall/reinstall
Run Malware Bytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Spybot scans which returned clean
Disabled hardware acceleration
Updated all my plug-ins except Java whose website was down and wouldn't allow me to download the new version
Tried to dump the cache by reloading using "CTL+F5"
Manually added Firefox to Windows Firewall
There may have been more that I've tried, but nothing is working. After a little bit of use (it's random, I haven't found a specific amount of time, tabs, websites, content, etc...), the program just refused to load new content. If I go to Facebook, it may upload a new update, but no additional images or media will load. If I open a new tab and try to launch a website, I just get the spinning circle.
At some point, it will let some parts of a website load, but I have to let it sit a long time until it finally loads, even then, the site loads with all kinds of errors (no images, formatting is messed up, etc...).
I have had issues with Firefox in the past and I just went to Chrome. I think the issue lies in the FF24 update because it had been working fine previously. I don't know what else to do... Any suggestions?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.

Thank you.
