I am pretty sure this is in the right section...

Okay, I recently upgraded to Leopard, and now my Boot Camp partition, when in Windows, won't let me read the D drive(optical drive) when I put the Leopard disc in. It won't autoplay, and it tells me when I try to click on it through My Computer, that it is not accessible, Incorrect Function.
Any ideas?

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So Much

Lojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party. You did file a police report right?

I just got a new iphone! I can't restore some in app content! The reason is I need to do the security questions. I'm 85% sure I put in the right answers but it's not working. Also when I try to reset it threw email I never get the message to fix it! Help!

I have got a new iphone recently. But I can't restore in app purchases. I have tried many times to reset it threw email and never got the message. I know I'm checking the right email I get your advertising messages there. I'm 85% sure I'm using the right answers! This has been very frustrating! Please help make this right!

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The reset link for the security question will send the email to your rescue email account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 - that is the email account that you are checking, and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again ?
If you aren't receivineg the email then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to view your rescue email address to check that it's correct, in case you need to use it in the potential future use

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Please fix your web plugin immediately, yes this message in the right forum

Ok.
On my mac, java takes about 5-10 seconds to load in a web page applet from either safari or chrome.
This is 4.9 to 9.9 seconds too long.
PC is a bit faster but not much.
Sun absolutely wrecked java with respect to the web-client.
Please fix this.
Why: Because I want to write web-apps which don't suck. Which means I can't use javascript. Because despite the gajillions of money poured into marketing, it is really very, very slow.
How to fix:
It is very easy.
1. Use PhoneME with JIT. (get startup time to near zero). You might say, "well, we're about to get java to have zero startup time." But this is what you have been saying for ever, and failing at, miserably! Stop trying, give us a JavaME plugin instead.
2. Do NOT distribute monolithic massive class libraries. Instead, give me the opportunity to create class loaders. (I know you think you already do, but please look up the 10 year old bugs regarding the web plugin and class loaders). Make the distributable as SMALL as possible.
3. Are you writing the pluginin "in-between" code in webkit? If you are, fire who ever is writing it. If you aren't, WTF, the connection between the browser and java is slow as a slug. If I was just a bit more of a cynic I would think google is putting in usleep(1000) between calls. Take this code over NOW.
Look, you STILL have a tremendous opportunity in the web-client-space.
You need to show that Java is BETTER than javascript. Which it could be.
But currently it sucks.
It uses too much memory, it has a slow startup time, the connection between javascript and java is slow.
I should be able to write <script type="jar.pack.gz/java" src="blahblah.jar.pack.gz"></script> and multiply my performance by a thousand. Please do it.
I should be able to use a java2javascript library to simplify modifying the dom.
I shouldn't have to write javascript, except for inline code.
BUT INSTEAD I'M SPENDING MY TIME OPTIMIZING GWT.
Javascript sucks, we all know it is rising because of a vacuum of any real performance.
Please fill this void, or someone else will.
Thanks,

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

A reboot should be enough to make it work.
Just restart your computer.
Otherwise, make sure you're an administrator - as if you're not, it could be that the administrator put a restiction.

I apologise in advance if this is not the right forum, but I need to do a reformat on this computer. My question is, after deactivation of CC, PS, LR and Bridge do I need to uninstall them as well?

If you are going to reformat the hard drive, wiping out all data on the computer, there is no need to uninstall. Deactivation is enough.

Probably not the right section but.... Java Machine error?

three computer in a dental office which i've installed the dental software on. (connected to a server)
2 of the three work flawlessly however one computer gives this error when trying to connect to an EDI server or print.
Couldn't Start Java Mahine - error: .:Can't create Java VM - DLL Path (null)
The only difference between the computers is two computers were natively MS XP Pro, and the one with the problem was originally an HP computer that shipped with XP Home edition, and was upgraded to XP Pro.
I apologize if this is in the wrong section, I'm not a developer.. I just wasn't sure where to go, I couldn't find anything in the MS Knowledge base.
They have no internet in this office, so it's hard to trial and error and do research on location, any help is appreciated.

Sun's Java can be uninstalled using the "Add/Remove Programs" function of Windows.
You might want to test to see if the difference in the PATH is the cause. Temporarily change the PATH of the problem computer to be the same as one that works. Save the original PATH value so you can restore it after testing.

Shared windows printer - may not be the right section

Hi all - sorry if I do not have the right section to post this in but I have come to the end of my calm period for trying to get this to work.
I have a canon iP4200 that is connected to a windows XP box and is setup to be shared. Now I have been asked to get the mac to print directly to the printer through windows with not much luck. At the moment the setup is through a hub with file, printer etc sharing enabled. I have followed some topics on the support site to try and get it to work but with no luck.
So i guess I have to ask:
1. Is it even possible to make this work
2. if it can be done any help would be extremely appreciated as I am pulling my hair out!
Also my windows firewall is off and I have been able to brouse my windows network from mac and vice versa.
Thank you so much in advance.

I recently had this issue myself. What you need to do is toss in your Windows XP Install disc on the XP Box, and go to Add / Remove Programs, then Add Windows Components, and from there do other network services, and do unix print services. After that's installed, you'll be able to print to it just fine.

I'm not sure if im in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?

I'm not sure if i am in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?@

I doubt that the W-4 has a submit button. If you are using Reader XI (actually the topic of the Reader forum, not this one), you should be able to save it and then print and deliver. If it is set to be submitted by the browser, then it may be your Reader and the browser are not talking properly. If there is a generic URL that you can provide that has the W-4, we might be able to give you more info. A lot depends on what your particular form looks like. Hand carrying it should always be an option.

Is there an add-on to put `close this tab' on the right click drop down?

While I know `close this tab' appears in the dropdown when you click ON the tab (which is sort of ridiculous when you could just click on the tab's `X'), but the same `close this tab' doesn't appear on the dropdown when you right click somewhere in the middle of the window
My question is this : Is there an add-on which puts the phrase where it's really needed - namely when you right click somewhere IN the window, so you don't have to maneuver the mouse to the tab itself or do the keyboard close?

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Frebe.
There is indeed. Try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/ Menu Editor]. Using it has many advantages, of course, since you can change the place of pretty much everything, and hide menu items and whole menus if you want, but what you'll want to do is to move the "Close this tab" from the one menu to another.
If you need help using the extension (it's not really THAT intuitive), I'll help.

I hope this is in the correct section....

I have an opinion to put out here into the community to see what everyone else thinks. I've been a huge Mac fan after switching over in 2006, but I haven't spent a lot of time here. I'd like to hear what some of the more experienced Mac users think.
I bought my late-2006 model iMac in 2006. It came with good ol' Tiger - don't remember what version it was. But, I did use it until 10.4.11 I think, or maybe 10.4.12? It wasn't until early 2010 that I went up to 10.6 (when the updates stopped for 10.4). 10.6 was flawless for me until I just recently moved to 10.7. It's been flawless as well - so far. So now I'm reading that 10.8 is next summer. Apple seems to be moving at lighting speeds on these OS versions. I have seen no real improvements since 10.6.
As of this summer, OS X 10.8 will say goodbye to my computer, and I love my white iMac. It has served me well, and it still does serve me well. I no longer participate in the gaming community, and I suppose if I did I wouldn't be using an all-in-one machine likely anyway. Six years of computing bliss, at least compared to my Windows days. (Actually, I hate it when people compare "Macs" to "Windows". You can't compare computers to OS's - that's a different story altogether, but I'll leave the reference here for the sake of making my point.) My iMac still looks as new as it did the day that I took it out of the box, with it's still-shrink-wrapped remote sticking to the side of the monitor like a forgotten toy. But now I'm a little perturbed, and you might expect it's because I won't be receiving any support for my computer after this summer arrives. That's not exactly it.
My machine is an Intel machine - not a Motorola. 10.7 has already cut the throats of those who use Rosetta-based software - now with 10.8 they are cutting off their first line of Intel-based machines. And for what? Do you mean to tell me that the limited variety of hardware in these machines is too much to support for a new OS? I could see if these machines were 32-bit, but they are 64-bit!! My little Core 2 Duo runs just as fast with 10.7 as it did with 10.4, maybe faster.
I planned on buying a new iMac soon before all of this anyway, but now with all of these OS releases every year it makes me wonder how long my $1500.00+ investment is going to go next time. If I buy a new iMac today, will I get six years out of it? I know that six years is a lot of time for a machine these days anyway; much longer than most will stick with one. But I'm one of those people that don't fix things that aren't broke. As long as my computer does what I need it to do, and it's not bogging down all of the time, I'm not buying a new one. I just can't see disposing of my iMac (or selling for almost nothing) because I can't update it anymore. I wonder how long they will release updates for 10.7?
I suppose this is just all new to me because with the way budget PC's work with Windows, you don't get cut from OS support because each piece of hardware is replaceable. (Driver support) And, it's a very long time in between Windows versions where CPU is going to cut you out, or Microsoft just quits providing updates. So, it this basically how the Apple guys and gals work? I feel sorry for those who bought a G5 iMac. They were cut off after 10.5 I guess, with no more than three years of OS support.
As I said, I know that it's time for me to update my iMac anyway, and I don't want it to sound like I'm speaking ONLY because my machine will be left behind. I just don't see why it's necessary. And just for fun, I think I'll pull out my 12 year old PC and install Windows 7 on it tomorrow. (Sorry - couldn't resist.)

Well, I was asked when I posted the message whether or not the post was to be marked as a "question" and I answered no. And as such, it is more of an opinion collection sort of post. But then, I did decided to include some questions. I went back and skimmed my message and counted four questions. The question marks are dead giveaways.
I understand this message board is commonly used for topics such as, "How do I boot my computer?" or "What's the best way to back up my computer?", and so I chose the message topic carefully. If this type of dialog doesn't belong here or is not accepted in this community, please feel free to move it, have it moved, or delete it. I just thought I might get some feedback from those who have been using Macs for some time. The tone of the first response suggests that I may have struck a nerve somewhere. Rest assured, it's only an observation from an individual that has been involved with computers for 28 years.

On FaceTime contact are on the left side of the screen...they use to be on the right side much better how do I change this listing to the right side?

FFace time contact listing are on the left side of the screen they use to be on the right side...why the change and how can I change the listings to the right side?

There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. As to why Apple made the change, only they would know.
