I am have permission problems and need urgent help!
I am running ppc G5 dual 2gig with Tiger 10.4.11. I must say that ever since I upgraded to this version from 10.4.10 my system somehow has been behaving poorly. Ist my network settings went weird in the fact that the PC (running XP service Pack 2) stopped communicating with the G5 saying that it had no access permissions.
At the time I had Michael Horns SharePoints programme on the mac handling which hard drives I wanted to share over my network. I eventually took this off as I thought this might be the problem.
I went back to my Network set up on the G5 which had been working previously and tried the network setup Diagnostic tool which told me that from the G5 end it could see the PC and the internet through my BT Broad band Voyager 220V.
At this point I clicked the pad lock icon to save the settings. Now when I want to go back in to change the settings I can't. For the simple reason that it won't respond to the password or my Name. I have tried changing the password in the Accounts section of my system Preferences it allows me to seemingly do this but tells me that as my Key chain is locked it wants my current Password and Name which it is not responding to so I am going round in circles.
As a last desperate attempt I logged out and rebooted using my Tiger System disk, went into the Change the password section and did so. There it appeared like it was allowing me to change the password at which point to be extra safe I repaired the permissions on my home drive which again said it was repairing the permissions to the new user name and password so I thought at this point I was going to be all right after it gave me the green light to tell me that my permissions and disk verification were ok. I rebooted my mac and went into my system prefs, tried to open the padlock in the network settings as before only to come across the same problems.
Something is corrupt i guess. Do I need to reload Tiger and if so anything in the reloading part of the process which asks me for my name and password is going to screw me up as I am afraid the system won't accept it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ! And Many Thanks ahead of time.

I have a problem and need help
Hi everyone, I am a flash noob and I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I have a interactive haunted house im working on (www.chuckies.webs.com) and I have a script (actionscript 2) that works with the mouse. it scrolls the screen left and right with the movement of the mouse. it works wonderful but my problem is that everytime I go to the edge of the flash movie it doesnt stop, I get black background that shows. is that a settings issue? i have the flash html settings as 100% when exported. I will post pictures here in a bit, i was just hoping if somebody knew off the top of there head what the problem was. Thanks in advance. and I hope im posting to the correct forum, if not please tell me.
Hi I just wanted to update this post and tell everyone what the problem was. I changed the "scale" settings under publish settings to "exact fit" and lined up my movie up to the upper right corner and it works like a charm and the black border is gone on the sides.
I also included this code in the body of my html page which removes the 10mm border on top and bottom of the web page. any questions just ask.

I have an iPad and need Cloud help! Please
I have an iPhone and an iPad. I have purchased extra space on iCloud and (I BELIEVE) have my settings so that BOTH should back up to my iCloud. The problem that I'm having is that some items (Notes for example, contacts and email) are on my phone and some are on the iPad but none of them are in all places and MOST IMPORTANTLY they are not in my cloud. In a perfect world how do I get my phone and my iPad to back everything up into my cloud?
Thank you ahead of time for any help you can provide.Some email accounts keep all of their information on the server, like exchange. You are only borrowing access to them. If you remove that account, all of that information is removed from your device. If you have that exchange account only on your phone, it will not copy the contacts stored on exchange over to icloud. The same for email and notes.

I have a problem and need help to proceed plz
I'm working in all of the latest software.
Long story short. Itunes is on my startup drive but I had my music folder on a larger external HD.
It was selected in the prefs as the default media folder location.
Unfortunately, the external HD with my music folder crashed / died.
So now when I launch itunes and try to play a song i get the original file could not be found. I also see at some point that my default location for media has changed back to the default location in itunes and about 1/4 of my 9000 songs are in that folder on the startup drive.
Now I was able to recover my music folder that was on the external drive through Time machine thankfully and it is on another internal drive.
My question is this.
I want to move the original external Music folder to a larger external drive and combine the music folder that ended up on my startup drive holding the 1/4 amount of content and keep all media on that new large external drive. How should I proceed to get this all working in itunes and avoid a bigger problem than I already have, multiple listings, cover art, ect.

this is wht i would do:
1) option drag the folder containing the music files from the external A to an open iTunes window. this will cause iTunes to index the path to the original file (on external A) but not copy the files "physically".
same tab, be sure +keep iTunes media folder organized+ and +copy files to+ ... are checked.
2) connect external B (the larger drive) to your Mac. point iTunes to that drive via preferences > advanced.
3) in iTunes, go file > library > organize library and check +consolidate files+. hit ok.
now all files known to iTunes will be copied to the external B. when finished, the "original" files may be deleted (or kept as a back up). -

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada -
I have a problem, I need some help.
So, tonight I decided to update my iPod, the new iOS 4.2.1 (which is as high as my iTouch allows me to go) was looking pretty good by now. So I did. But once my comp. was done updating both my computer software for itunes + my ipod, I required me to restart my computer. After going through all points when I finally tried to connect back to itunes. The iPod was not the same name as I had it and continues to show up as iPod touch instead of my iPod name. Now it won't alow me to backup my data. My original account is still there it just wont connect my account to the newly updated iPod.
Please help.Mary --

Have you ever done a hard factory reset of your Airport Express base? If not, then try it. Push down the reset button with a pen, then keep it depressed as you plug AX into the wall and keep holding it down until the green light blinks 4 times and then turns amber. Then let go. Unplug your broadband modem for a couple of minutes and shut down your Mac. First restart the modem, then the Mac. Use Airport Setup Assistant to set up a new network from scratch.
In System Prefs > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations drop n drag Airport to the top of the list and deselect all port configurations that you do not use.
That's a start. -

After decades, I finally gave up on Microsoft and bought a MacBook Pro. However, for work, I still have to use Microsoft. When I try to edit a Word Document in any way a screen pops up saying Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close; gives me an option to recover my work and restart Word; when I click that option Word restarts but I alway lose my work. This just started; before it was working fine. Help?
This is a Microsoft problem. Contact them for assistance: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft. -

Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac
Need Urgent help, I have made partition hard drive in my mac book and using OS mac & Window8 seperately... for couple of days it works great for both window & OS mac But nowadays, my pc gets restart automatically while using window & even I cant access to my Mac OS........... I got some error in window (error80070003) ...>>>>> Now how can I format whole drive & recover my Mac book OS.without boot disk.
I can't find that model. If you open System Profiler in the Utilities folder look for the Model Identifier over in the right hand display. What do you find for the model ID? If your computer supports Internet Recovery here's what to do:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
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.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. If Mavericks is not installed, then you can reinstall it by re-downloading the Mavericks installer.
You will need to use Boot Camp Assistant in order to create a new Windows partition, then reinstall Windows. -
I have Mac mini and there is partition of boot camp but some miss understanding the osx 10.8.2 is deleted and while I m going to recovery mode the portition can not removing and the also cant repaired what I do I need urgent help ???? Please ?????
Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else. -
