I can't assess my system.

My computer only boots up to show the screensaver image and the dock. I can access my software and run programs, but I can't get past the blank screen to use the finder. When a program is running, I can see the tool bar at the top. But the Finder toolbar doesn't appear when I quit the program I'm running.
I use a Wacom Bamboo and that isn't working.
When I attempt to use the Finder icon in the dock, the little box appears to show, "OPEN", but when I click nothing happens.
The wireless and internet are working (obviously), but I can't see any icons on the desktop. I can access stuff through the programs, but not the finder.
Any ideas?

Try this:
Open System Preferences, Click on Network and click the "+" button at the bottom of the box on the left. Select Wi-Fi for interface and you should be set.

    Rosetta can have a 2GB RAM "tax" to manage PowerPC code as well as how that affects performance.
    I think real world performance shows both statements to be wrong; consider this:
    If that were the case, how come Apple does not include that information in its Snow Leopard installation requirements, since Rosetta is an optional install?
    Also, running a PowerPC app on an 2011 i7 Mac with Snow Leopard will run faster than running that PowerPC app on a PowerPC Mac.

    Hi,
          i am doing a sample out bound scenario (idoc 2 file), distributing idoc from sap system to csv file (in same network). in this can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.

    Hi,
    <i> can i use thchnical system type 'third party' for R3 system. will the scenario work properly or not.</i>
       --- No u can't use this...Ur technical system must be "WebAS ABAP" only.  For file system you use 3rd party system. means ur technical system like follows.
    sender
    R/3  -- WebAs ABAP
    Receiver
    File  - 3 rd pary system
    <i>And some times some of the business systems in SLD are not visible in ID, when assigning business system in ID.can any one tell reason for this.</i>
      Click "Clear SLD cache" repeatly for some time in ID, it will come.

  • How can I fix my system preferences so the system preferences window don't freeze up every time I open it?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
    Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Safari will no longer open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

    Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop.  When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing. 
    I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago.  I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop.  I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back.  Can you guide me through this?
    Thanks,
    Betty

    Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
    10.6.8 Combo Updater
    System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud?

    My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

    You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

  • ISE 1.2 Posture assessment (AV) system center endpoint

    the cisco NAC web agent can't detect AV (system center endpoint protection) is updated although it is updated.
    by troubleshooting , it seems it is related to Windows 8.1 as i tested the same AV on another machine Windows 7 and it is working.
    any body faced this issue?

    Support for Windows 8.1
    Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.9(3) along with Cisco NAC Windows Agent 4.9.3.9 and Cisco NAC Web Agent Version 4.9.3.7 supports Microsoft Windows 8.1. See Also Patch Supporting Windows 8.1 and Mac OS X 10.9.
    In a Windows 8.1 client, in the metro mode, the NAC Agent shortcuts are available in the Apps screen instead of the Start screen.
    For a Windows 8.1 client machine, while configuring the user pages in CAM web console, if you have selected the web client as 'Java Applet Only' and enabled the 'Use web client to detect client MAC address and Operating System' option, then the client Operating System might be detected as Windows 8. While using Applet for Windows 8.1, configure the user page with WINDOWS_ALL. See Also CSCuj59700.

    Hi Niti,
    In config guide for Persona 2.0 under the section maintained system SAP has clearly mentioned that you can make your one system for ex (ECC) as a source system and then connect your other system as a target by maintaining logical system in SPRO only prerequisite should be your SAP kernal should be 7.21 or 7.40 or higher
    Follow the procedure for the SPRO configuration and after that just do the below configuration
    Maintain the following parameters under System Settings:
    o Service.Uri – Maintain the service name for accessing SAP Screen Personas
    here. The default service is /restgui.
    o Server.Url – Maintain the server link for the system here. For example:

  • I am looking to control a 4-way hydraulic solenoid valve. Do I need a PID control toolset, or can i control the system through my 16E4 daq card and scxi chasis

    I am looking to control a 4-way hydraulic solenoid valve. Do I need a PID control toolset, or can i control the system through my 16E4 daq card and scxi chasis

    I think you're asking 2 different questions.
    The PID control toolset is for using PID loops for control; it's just software.
    The DAQ card and scxi chassis are hardware. If you have the appropriate signal conditioning cards in your chassis to control/monitor your solenoid valve, then you can run a PID loop.
    I believe the simple answer is: the PID control toolset is the best way to do control, but there are simple PID VI's (even on this website) that you can download and use for simple control.

  • I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
    Please let us know if that answers your query.
