I have read, read, tried, tried, still need help

Okay, I am one who has a non working MacBook after 10.4.11 update. I have read everything, done everything, Pram, restarts, Start from CD, get errors on disk repair, and the last thing now, start holding down "alt" key. To re-install. When asked to select a destination volumne, there is nothing there. I am not new to doing this but new to not having anything there to install to. I am tired of reading other threads as I have done this for 3 days now so please just help me and not give me that "go read the threads" answer. I promise I have done that first. This is my work laptop and I really hate to have to give to tech people as they wil have for weeks before I get back.

Go to an Apple service center. Obviously you have bigger issues than software.

    No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
    If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
    If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

    I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with.  I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them.  This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

    I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

  • Still need help with case sensitive strings

    Hello guy! Sorry to trouble you with the same problem again,
    but i still need help!
    "I am trying to create a scrypt that will compare a String
    with an editable text that the user should type to match that
    String. I was able to do that, but the problem is that is not case
    sensitive, even with the adobe help telling me that strings are
    case sensitive. Do you guys know how to make that comparison match
    only if all the field has the right upper and lower case letters?
    on exitframe
    if field "t:texto1" = "Residencial Serra Verde"then
    go to next
    end if
    end
    |----> thats the one Im using!"
    There were 2 replys but both of them didnt work, and the
    second one even made the director crash, corrupting even previously
    files that had nothing to do with the initial problem..
    first solution given --
    If you put each item that you are comparing into a list, it
    magically
    makes it case sensitive. Just put list brackets around each
    item.
    on exitframe
    if [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"] then
    go to next
    end if
    end
    Second solution given--
    The = operator is not case-sensitive when used on strings,
    but the < and > operators are case-sensitive.
    So another way to do this is to check if the string is
    neither greater than nor less than the target string:
    vExpected = "Residencial Serra Verde"
    vInput = field "t:texto 1"
    if vExpected < vInput then
    -- ignore
    else if vExpected > vInput then
    -- ignore
    else
    -- vExpected is a case-sensitive match for vInput
    go next
    end if
    So any new solutions??
    Thanks in advance!!
    joao rsm

    The first solution does in fact work and is probably the most
    efficient way
    of doing it. You can verify that it works by starting with a
    new director
    movie and adding a field named "t:texto1" into the cast with
    the text
    "Residencial Serra Verde" in the field. Next type the
    following command in
    the message window and press Enter
    put [field "t:texto1"] = ["Residencial Serra Verde"]
    You will see it return 1 which means True. Next, make the R
    in the field
    lower case and execute the command in the message window, it
    will return 0
    (true).
    Now that you know this works, you need to dig deeper in your
    code to find
    what the problem is. Any more info you can supply?

  • In testing 9 and X, "Compare Docs" we have a critical issue and really need help!

    For years we have used Acrobat 7 to do PDF compares and we love it!  However, the company recently advised we must upgrade to 9 and then eventually to X.  In testing 9 and X, Compare Docs we have a critical issue and really need help.  Our PDFs are produced by IT in a batch process and one of our main, critical functions is to compare previous PDFs to current PDFs;  however, in using 9 the Compare screen automatically sets the Doc Description for our PDFs to "Scanned Doc" and does not produce any differences! If you try to change the setting to Reports --it totally shuts down both documents without running!  Version 7 runs the compare of the same PDFs  beautifully, pointing out all the differences, as usual!  Has this every happen to anyone?  Do you know what we can do to our PDFs to allow version 9 to do the compare and produce results?  Why is 9 treating these non-scanned PDF docs as such?  Thanks so much for any help or insight you can give me on this issue!

  • I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
    If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Read every font topic, but I still need help

    I have been at this for about 4 hours, and I need help.
    I read Flash Help and every font forum topic, which say
    Static Text need not use embedded fonts.
    Links to .fla and .swf files below.
    Everything shows up fine in 'Control/Test Movie'
    Using Arial font, I cannot see static text in my test .swf
    file.
    I then embedded Arial (24 pt, bold, italic - 'ArialEmbedded'
    in the library).
    Using that font on Static text, can see the text, but not in
    Arial. It is in TimesNewRoman, regular, non-italic.
    I then used the embedded font in text I described as dynamic,
    but could not see any text.
    Everything shows up fine in Control/Test Movie.
    I get around this by building .gifs using graphics packages
    and importing them,
    but the results are less than desirable. (see layer ".gif
    from outside appl."

    provided.
    Thanks,

    Update.....
    I still cannot see text in .swf on my local machine, but I
    can see it on the web, after posting it, but the text looks awful.

  • Remote app problem - read everything and still no help

    Hi
    Similar to many people, I'm having a remote problem as well. Actually, the app worked just fine for a week, then all of a sudden stopped working. I guess it could have been some kind of a windows update issue maybe because I haven't changed anything. The thing is now that it's trying to connect to my library but fails. I've turned my firewalls completely off, re-installed the app many times on my iPhone 3G, re-added the library many times (then it connects so I can insert the 4-digit code), tried the "forget all remotes", the sharing is enabled in iTunes, I'm connected to the same WiFi network, it's not hooked with a cable to sync when I've tried it but still, all it says is "could not connect to library". I have been working with this issue for 2 days by now and read hundreds of posts but still no help. Could please anyone help me with this issue, please please!
    Thanx
