I hope I'm in the right place... Puzzling Startup Problem.
I've got an iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.2.
Here's what went wrong. I was running Software Update today, and it started installing the new Tiger update (10.4.3). Somewhere along the line it froze, along with several other programs that were running (Safari and iTunes, I think). I tried to force-quit those other programs, but accidentally force-quit-ed the update instalation instead. Once all programs were closed I attempted to re-run the software update, but System Preferences kept quitting on its own, and when it tried to send notice to Apple that something had quit "unexpectedly," that message utility shut itself down as well. So I restarted the computer, and recieved only a grey screen with a grey Apple logo, nothing more -- no spinning gear-thing, and the drive is clearly not spinning. Now that's all I get.
Here's what I tried to do to get things working again. I tried to boot in Safe Mode, but nothing happened after about 7 minutes of holding down the shift key. I tried resetting both my RAM and my Power Management Unit (at the direction of someone at Tech Support), to no avail. I booted from a Tiger install disk (not my own, unfortunately, which I don't have at the moment; I had to borrow one from a friend) and ran the Disk Utility to repair the hard drive; Disk Utility told me there was nothing to repair. I even tried to boot in single-user mode to run fsck. Here's where things happened that I don't understand, because I don't know a thing about programming language and code and whatnot. When I tried to boot in single-user mode I got this message about 8 times in a row (I'll type out the whole thing since I don't know what is and isn't important):
kld(): Undefined symbols:
_ZN11IOPCIBridge18compareAddressCellEmPmS0
kldload_frommemory() failed for module com.apple.driver.AppleMacRiscPCI
Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleMacRiscPCI
Couldn't alloc class "AppleMacRiscAGP"
Couldn't alloc class "AppleMacRiscPCI"
Then it spits out a string of characters I don't understand, and gives me over and over again the message "Still waiting for root device." It never gets to a command line prompt.
So, questions: (1) What the heck is going on? (2) Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling my OSr, or is it time for last resorts? And an ignorant question: will reinstalling the OS cause me to lose data -- files, music, that sort of thing?
Thanks for your time, and your patience.
Heya, Jonathan. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Congratulations, and welcome to the fun-filled world of kernel panics. Yup, that's the text in the gray box you're getting.
The good news is you don't necessarily have to reinstall Mac OS X. If you have access to another computer and a FireWire cable, you can reinstall the 10.4.3 update, and everything should be groovy.
* Connect the two computers via FireWire cable. Your iBook should not be on yet.
* Boot up your iBook and hold down the 'T' key as it starts up. The iBook will enter Target mode.
* Download the Mac OS 10.4.3 update on the other computer.
* Run the 10.4.3 updater as normal, but select the hard drive of your iBook when you get to the list of available volumes.
Failing that, you can reinstall Mac OS X on your iBook from your install DVD. When you select your volume, make sure you click on the 'Options' button and select 'Archive and Install'. You'll retain all your personal files and network settings, but you might have to reinstall applications, haxies, etc.

Hope this is in the right place...
...and apologies if it isn't
i am hoping to upgrade my 6680 to N93 and junk my iPaq so that i have all my information in one place - but before i do i have one question...
does the PIM function - notably the calendar and 'to do' - carry more information than on the 6680?
currently i sync my 6680 with my iMac and it works really well but only takes the headline information, so no notes or details associated with the event or the 'to do'. is this still the case on symbian S60 or will it take more information on sync?
hope this is clear and thanks in advance for any help.
cheersDo you have the n93? is it out? i can't wait to get my hands on one
Phones i owned so far 6630,6680,N90,N93* -
The right place for Windows 10 Server???
Hi ,

The text is in hebrew so the problem is that sometimes the quotation marks not in the right place.
For example i have this text: תווית
על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''
This is the source original text you can see the quotations marks and they are not in the right place and all i did is copy paste.
And this is a screenshot of how this text looks like in the website in the original:
You can see now where the quotations marks should be.
Now this is how i'm using the text in my program:
First of all i'm using a webclient to download the page from the website and i'm also encoding it to windows-1255 since it's in hebrew.
using (var webClient = new WebClient())
webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
byte[] myDataBuffer = webClient.DownloadData("http://rotter.net/scoopscache.html");
page = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1255").GetString(myDataBuffer);
Then i'm extracting the places i need by reading the html file lines and parsing the right text and it's link.
string loc;
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
List<string> lockedLinks1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
lockedThreads = new List<string>();
lockedLinks = new List<string>();
Regex textRegex = new Regex("ToolTip.*?(?=','<)");
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < fall.Length; i++)
if (fall[i].Contains("http://rotter.net") && fall[i].Contains("locked")||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("icon_anchor") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_sport") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_camera") ||
fall[i].Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(fall[i + 2]))
if (m.Value.Contains("><b"))
loc = m.Value.Replace("\"><b", string.Empty);
lockedLinks.Add(loc);
string txt = fall[i - 1];
string text = textRegex.Match(txt).Value.Replace("ToolTip','", String.Empty);
if (text.Contains("’"))
text = text.Replace("’", string.Empty);
lockedThreads.Add(text);
Already here on the List lockedThreads you can see the quotation marks not in the right place as in the original:
After i'm parsing the text and links and adding them to the Lists in another class i'm doing a comparison using this Lists:
foreach (List<string> l_branch in ListsExtractions.responsers)
TreeNode l_node = treeView1.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_branch.Count - 1]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
l_node.ImageIndex = 0;
l_node.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
for (int l_count = 0; l_count < l_branch.Count - 1; l_count++)
TreeNode l_subnode = l_node.Nodes.Add(l_branch[l_count]);
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_subnode.Text))
l_subnode.ImageIndex = 0;
l_subnode.SelectedImageIndex = 0;
The problem is in the line:
if (ListsExtractions.lockedThreads.Contains(l_node.Text))
When it's getting to the line with the quotation marks it's never equal.
Now there are more quotation marks.
In general the problem when comparing both text if it's having quotation marks it's not the same.
So i have two options:
1. To fix it somehow so the quotation marks will be the same in both variables when comparing and also the same like in the original as they show in the html page.
2. To remove the quotation marks from both variables.
What should i do ? And how ? I was prefer to use the original quotation marks like in the original since they have a meaning in the place they should be. The question is how can i do it ?
This is example of the block from the html file where the text with the quotation marks is:
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP"> <font size=-1 color=#ff9933><b>9418</b></font> </TD></TR><TR BGCOLOR="#eeeeee">
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="TOP">

<font color="898A8E">תווית על בגד: ''תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה''</b>
</a></font></TD>Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','<u><span style=color:#000099;>כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11</span></u><br>מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

Not sure if this is the right place...Recovery or Finding missing files
Hi,
Again, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but its worth a shot.
so i've been transcribing video all day using microsoft office for mac, and was saving the project (i thought) to an external hard drive. at one point the HD came unplugged, and i plugged it back in. no big deal. i continued to save, to type, save, type, etc until finished. so when i finished and saved the project, seemed okay. when i closed word, it kept asking me if i wanted to save changes...i said yes, and it would just ask me again, did this a few times. i assumed it was asking me to save it to a new location, which i didn't think i needed so finally said no.
i then find out that somehow when the HD was unplugged it erased Words ability to save to said location. so my last save was really before the HD was removed, which is odd, because i kept saving and never was prompted the path was interrupted or anything.
so my question is two part...
1. where would i find in the depths of the computer the saved files? if i was saving, they had to have gone somewhere, but i dont know how to find them.
2. also, assuming it wasnt saving, my word prefs say it autosaves every 5 minutes, so those files must exist somewhere also, yet can't find them...
does this make sense, can anyone help me?
thanks
austinHi there,
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists.
See if it may be in one of those with a 1 or 2 added to it. -
I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.
I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

Slideshow-Images not displaying in the right place on the screen
I am trying to use the SlideShow widget for the first time. I have a pretty basic slideshow with six images that I want to display. When I preview it in IE or Firefox,what I get is really weird. The first image displays in the right place. The second displays in the right place, but with a black box underneath it. The third displays under where it's supposed to go, with a black box above it. After this, the images alternate between where they're supposed to be and just below that, with a black box of the same size in the second location. I've looked at the source of other webpages that have working slide shows, and I don't see a difference between what I'm doing and what they're doing. Here is what I think is the relevant code. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

Yet when I look at the constructor, the class is missing as in

widgetClass: "BasicSlideShowFS",

Because you are not using the thumbnails (filmstrip), I am wondering why you did not implement the basic slideshow, which will make it a lot easier for you.

wow wrote that in the wrong place. First time using this forum thing. Question is still the same. I don't think I'm looking in the right place. It says, "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction". The reason it came up is because I added a credit card to my account. Do I have to just reset my password completely and all my security info and re-enter it?
Have you considered doing exatly what it says and contacting itunes support?

Put the right sign in the right place
I'm not even sure if Captivate 4 can do this, but I want to have quiz that gets the students to put the right sign in the right place. i.e. a hard hat sign on a photo of a building site. Student would have a list of sign images and it would be a case of dragging and dropping the correct sign in the correct place on the photo.
ThanksHi there
Presently I can see two possibilities here.
1. Use a Matching Question. While you may not use a drag and drop, you could accomplish the goal by listing two columns and establishing the matches.
2. Use a Hotspot Question. In this case it still won't be a drag and drop. But you could insert an image of the sign, then have a hot area where it would logically go. The user would click the area to choose it.
Perhaps one of our resident Widget Wizards has a solution in the form of a widget you could acquire and use.
Cheers... Rick
