I'm having multiple problems with Lion. Please help!

I downloaded Lion on the first day or release and it has been a very frustrating experience. Today, I reinstalled Lion hoping a fresh install would fix my woes but the problems persist. I'm in desperate need of advice and would appreciate any help from the gurus out there!
I have a 24" iMac with the following specs:
Problem 1) Ever since I installed Lion Safari is a nighmare. Roughly 30% of any given website loads. Below is a screenshot of www.apple.com:
Problem 2) No matter how many times I uncheck "restore windows after closing application" my mac opens EVERY window that was open previously. For example, I do a lot of graphics work and use Preview as my image medium. Every time I open Preview 100 + images load unless I go through each one of them individually and close each window. *****.
Supposed solution:
What Preview looks like each time I open the app: 100+ Images
Problem 3) Even with 4 gigs of ram my Ram is constantly ran into the ground ever since the upgrade and my computers performance is in the gutter. I have to constantly use "MemoryFreer" to free ram which is sometimes down to 14 MB free out of 4 Gigs.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

TBH, Lion is a bit of let down, regardless fo whether there are issues present or not on your particular setup/system etc.
If a clean install has not fixed the issues above, I would be tempted to appraoch a Genius Bar and show them the problems. This may be faulty RAM and something that needs to be demonstrated, before a fix or repair can be considered.
Best of luck.
Yes you are correct, and as the OP did, questions are asked and other users try to answer. As for the poster I answered, he did not ask a question, but expressed extreme disappointment which he is entitled to do, therefore I suggested he have a read through some of the other threads to perhaps address whatever issues he is having. As you say it could be faulty RAM or a bad installation, or a hundred things inbetween. That is why you need to hunt down similar symptoms to narrow it down. Or if you are under warranty, let the Apple Store fix it.
Good Luck

I have adobe premiere elements 10 and I am having some problems with it please help

So here are the problems I'm having with Adobe Premiere Elements 10:
1. Transitions will not load. The word loading pops up and it won't come up.
2. The videos won't play smoothly. When I press play it skipps in a way it won't play smooth which makes it really hard to edit.
3. Keeps closing out on me. It will have a thing that pops up that says "Adobe premiere elements has stopped working and closes out of the program. It does it constantly.
Please help me I don't know what is wrong with it.

The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
What is the installed video driver number and date?
For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
Good luck,

Having major problems with arrays, please help

Hi,
I'm writing a program to simulate a juke box using an array of strings to hold each track that is input. when the program starts, the user is asked the maximum number of songs to store, and this is passed to the constructor of the PlayList method, which sets up on array of Strings called queue with the total given.]
I have four options, one to add a song, one to play the first song in the queue and then remove it from the queue. One to display all the songs in playlist, and one to quit. NB it doesn't "play" the song it just displays a message saying "now playing - song name".
It all works UNTIL i choose option 2 (play first song and then remove it from the queue). This seems to work, but then when I choose to display all the songs, its not removed the right one, and now there's two of the same. I've been trying for hours with this, and it's really annoying me. Here's the PlayList class
public class PlayList
    //declare attributes
    private String [] queue;
    private int total;
    //declare constructor
    public PlayList(int numsongs)
        queue = new String [numsongs];
        total = 0;
    public boolean addToQueue(String track)
        if (!isFull())
            queue[total] = track;
            total++;
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    public boolean removeFromQueue()
        if (isEmpty())
            return false;
        else
            int i;
            //remove first item off queue -- queue[0]
            for (i=1; i <= total-1; i++)
                //rename the others
                queue[i] = queue[i-1];
            total--;
            return true;
    public boolean isEmpty()
        if (total == 0) return true;
        else return false;
    public boolean isFull()
        if (total == queue.length)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    public String getItem(int item)
        return queue[item-1];
    public int getTotal()
        return (total);
    And here's the code from the main class which is executed.
public class JukeBox
    public static void main(String[] args)

        if (choice == 4)
            System.out.println("*** Thank you for using the juke box simulator ***");
        while (choice != 4);
}Any ideas?

Hi,
I just realised that before u posyed (honest, I did hehe), and now my code its like this
public boolean removeFromQueue()
        int i;
        if (isEmpty())
            return false;
        else
            for (i=1; i <= total; i++)
                queue[i-1] = queue[i-];
            total--;
            return true;
    }But now I get IndexOutOfBoundsException :s

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

Dv3 2360ee multiple problems... please help!!

hello! i am using a dv3 2360ee, and i have multiple problems with it,
1-http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/hp-dv3-2360ee-overheating-every-hour-or... (i did make another thread but no body replied, also i forgot about other problems)
2-because you people forgot to add in NX switch support in the bios (i did install the new one and same thing happened) i had to clean-install win 8, and that lead to all my drivers, premium services(including their serial code) to be deleted(but that is my problem...) any ways, i did not find all the proper drivers on the website!! and so right now switch able graphics aren't running and so both the "ati radeon 4300/4500" and the "Intel i3 integrated graphics" to run at the same time, creating one screen(laptop) and one virtual screen, causing many things to run on the other screen, and just because it is already running and it is better my laptop screen is on the ati card, now when i try to set second screen only, using Fn+f4 and setting screen resolution did not work, and yes, infact the Intel card is taking over the first screen while the ati is the second, and the laptop screen is set on the second, now the problem is, setting the screen to duplicate or second screen only will cause me a long process of trying to make it work again, and when i finally am victories, if i sleep the laptop, shut down, hibernate, or even close the lead, boom the Intel card is working again causing me problems, and just to mention, i installed the latest drivers from the amd website, i do not want the Intel card running at all, because if you go to the link at no.1 i did not describe, but it is the processor that is over heating and i believe the processor is an apu with a week graphics card, and that might be adding some heat, also to the heat problem i installed pirriform speccy on my father's computer too(also dv3 2360ee, and fun fact is: he bought his 2 years before me), and his stuff run at about 50-50-55-40 (CPU-motherboard-gpu-hdd) and while typing this, mine are 78-76-79-(not showing up)!!
3-the battery is showing "plugged in, not charging" but is going up slowly, what is wrong??
4-i have to set the battery settings to high performance, anything other than that and i am back to the days of my old acer "celerion m " 1 gb ram laptop!! i know that the setting are just for sleep and other things but how can that alter the performance??????
and please focus on no.2 the most, thank you!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Just to note, it doesn't look like this unit actually supports Windows 8 based on the lack of drivers on the driver page.
I experienced similar issues with my unit in Windows 8. My unit also does not support Windows 8. My system was overheating as well, but this was because both video cards were actually running at the same time. The system was designed with switchable graphics and is meant to only have one or the other active and not both. Both cards running simultaneously generates additional heat the system is not equipped to handle.
For me, the steps listed in this thread is what reoslved my switchable graphics and overheating issues. I can only hope that it would do the same for you. Without an official Windows 8 switchable graphics driver available, I'm afraid the options are limited.
Regarding the battery, have you ran the battery test to verify it is functional? When it is plugged in, does the charging indicator light reflect it is charging (amber) or not charging (white/blue)? The battery test is accessible by powering the system on and pressing F8 about once a second to get the diagnostics menu. If the test is not listed, you should be able to use the start-up test as it includes a battery test. Incidentally, I had this same battery issue on my unit and replacing the battery resolved it for my system.
Regarding the fourth topic, the reason that is happening is that the battery is marked as not being charged which puts it in a reduced power profile by default. In a reduced power state, the components are reduced to save battery power. For example, the processor speed would be reduced resuling in the performance that was described. Power plan settings can be tweaked to your liking by clicking on change plan settings under the power plan and then change advanced power settings.

I am having a problem with ICLOUD. Help!

I am having a problem with my icloud. So here is the story. I had iphone 4. My contacts were backed. Someone stole my iphone. I got a new iphone 4s. My contacts did not sync from my previous iphone 4. so someone told me to restore to iphone 4 backup. I did. And wow! i got all my contacts back. I want all my contacts to be saved. And i don't want to lose them, it took me a while to build this list properly. With email and number and address.
Here is what i tried so far, i backed up from itunes to computer, then backup to icloud, then I did from my phone, i turned the contact switch on also, and the swtich on to back up to icloud. When I go to icloud.com. it's not there. If anyone can help me with this issue I would appreciate it. because i have a lot of contacts, and I need to save them in a way, I won't ever lose them.

You would need to backup into icloud again also if you have enough room to backup. If not purchase more icloud backup or backup to itunes. Sync your contacts back to your email where they will always be.

- Take about 2 hours to send a text, or is says "unable to send text message")
- My reception is full, then will automaticaly drop to zero bars
- People try and ring me, it goes straight to my answer phone and then i get a text saying I have a missed call (happened twice)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? This is driving me crazy.
I love the phone, but this is not what should be happening.
Like I said, this is now the fifth Nokia N95 I have had!
I'm not sure how I check which software I have, so if someone tells me where to look I will be able to tell you.
Please help!
Many thanks, Holly x

Be patient calm down
Like I said the updates are on MODEL NUMBER
the Orange version will be a few weeks behind because they test every thing them selves They are paranoid about phones that run on their network In the good old days they had to aprove every phone on their network so if you had a sim free you had to ask them if you could use it Thay dont do that now but all the phones they sell for their network are supposed to be full tested to be working OK Thats why not all models and phones are not on Orange
They dont seem so much bothered if the phone crashes but they dont want you to crash the network lol
As soon as they have fully tested V12 it will be released for the updtae Orange have one or two mods to the basic software IE there own themes, screen savers, orange world, and the omission of voip. They also have ALS (line 2)
I use Orange but since the early probs I manged to get the unbranded sim free for Orange. On my one ALS (line2 2 lines 2 numbers 1 sim card Business and personal) is working OK so there are only the screen savers and Orange world they need to test fully All I can say is just wait
A service centre may get the update earlier or try looking in Orange shops at their current stock press *#0000# on their newer stock to see if they get V12 then the service centre will have it for repairing those ones and it will soon be on the update site
Nokia user / modder since Nokia Orange and Mobira user too before that

Problems with Restore, PLEASE HELP

Well, I had an old old old ipod touch from Christmas 2007. Around that time, I dated a guy who wanted to try to jailbreak said iPod and basically messed it up to the point it wouldn't update anymore. So, with that and a broken home button, I got it replaced. It just came in the mail friday, and I've been having so many problems with the stupid thing I haven't even gotten to play with the new features I've been deprived of.
First thing's first. When I first got it, I could put music on it and listen to it, but it wouldn't connect to wifi. So after a series of bad events (iTunes wouldn't connect to the internet, old version of iTunes, etc) I came to the conclusion that I should try to restore my iPod and see if that would help. Yeah. Bad idea. I got multiple error codes (6, 9, 1601, 1604, 2002) on every attempt. Tried two different computers, same conclusion. So I called Mr. Apple Expert and asked what I should do. He says call Best Buy and tell them they gave you a lemon (basically). So, as a last resort, I tried a different USB cable (I'm stubborn and thought that might be the problem), and I got somewhere. Not all the way.
I'm stuck with a "Verifying iPod Restore" window on iTunes. It appears to be about 3/4 restored when you look at the iTouch screen. I am so incredibly frustrated now, and decided I might as well give this forum a try. I haven't been able to enjoy my iPod touch in forever (it was Valentine's Day of 2008 when my [now ex] boyfriend messed up a jailbreak) and just hoped someone could help.

Well, I'm under a three year warranty with Best Buy, and since Mother and Father do not wish to spend anymore money, I'm just going to have to raise some **** when I call and see if the next one I get works.
Honestly. I had a bad feeling about this iPod the moment I got it 3 days before Best Buy told me I would. I knew that too good to be true! I mean, the touch screen was kind of faulty when I was typing on it before it freaked out. The backspace wouldn't work. I believe you're right, I don't even think this is an iPod touch!
But thank you sooo much for dealing with my n00b-ish-ness and trying to help me! I appreciate it.

6 weeks of problems with Ical- Please help

For 6 weeks now I have been having problem after problem with Mobileme, Ical, and contacts synchronizing with my imac, laptop, and iphone after at least two years of no problems. I have been to the Apple store over 6 times and have had 3-4 hour long chats with Apple technicians and have had 3-4 emails with an advanced technicians. Everyone is quite nice and really seems to be trying to help fix the problems, sadly, this situation is still not resolved. My confidence that Apple knows what is going wrong or knows how to fix it have really taken a hit and I'd ask anyone who has the savvy to help me with this to PLEASE help me out here.
The current situation is:
Cannot log into Mobile me to get my calenders - Apple can't either. We both can log in to idisc, contacts, etc. though all are duplicated 2-3 times.
If you try to sync with the phone, including after re-setting what appears to be a correct calender on to mobileme first, the phone calender will appear completely blank.
Manual sync with the USB works. However, even if you totally wipe the whole iphone and then install just what is on the computer, some appointments are missing on the iphone! I have verified that there are just the correct calenders listed on the imac so the appointments missing on the iphone are part of the calender listed on the imac. (When I wiped the iphone and choose automatic sync, numerous calenders were seen. Part of the reason there were so many calenders at all was part of the problem I initially had and the result of apple technicians trying to fix it!)
I now have. mac and .me mail accounts listed on my iphone despite the fact that the .mac account had been replaced with the .me account of the same name by at least two technicians at the Apple Store and Ichat.
I need help immediately and cannot either wait for Apple or have much confidence they know what is going on.

Yes this has been a nightmare for me and started with duplicate dates, followed by duplicate calenders, and 2 years of lost data, followed by duplicate contacts. I am clear that some of this is the direct result of how I was advised to fix my problems.
I have seen 2-3 people report problems around this same time frame. The techs at apple have denied a system problem from that time but like you it is odd that a system that seemed to work perfectly went wrong at that for at least the two of us and three other people that I know of. I have only reviewed a portion of the posts.
My conclusion is that Apple does not provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding how to interface with ical, syncing with mobile me, or what needs to be backed up even though one is putting one's data on the cloud and 1-3 other devices. Further, the protocols Apple techs use to deal with these kinds of issues seem to be leading to more problems.
I have saved a comprehensive log of my chats with Apple and my interactions with the "genius bar" at Apple that I'd be willing to post here or share via email that shows how this process evolved and what choices were made to remedy the situation.
To briefly illustrate my point consider these things I've learned in the process:
1). Apple does not design all of it's key software with auto back-up like they do with Final Cut, or Intuit does with "Quicken". Apple told me that they expect someone would use the "export" or " back-up iCal" from the file menu. They also said that I had the option of using the utility "back-up" or "Time Machine" if I wanted "auto" back up.
I must admit to feeling pretty stupid about all of this until I remembered that Apple emphasized the automatics of "the cloud" as next step after the "Palm". Even the "Missing Manual" bills it that way. So... I just plugged and played as they say and did not actively make sure that I needed to back Ical up! I also thought that since my iphone backs everything up when you synchronize that everything would be saved. Anyone have any ideas how to get your calender off the iphone back up if the cloud and your computer files are wrong? I've been told that you cannot. I am also a bit unclear about what files need to be backed up if I want to use Time machine or back up to protect my Calenders? Again can't they just say so?
2). It has come to my attention after talking to 4 different Apple reps that the Itunes interface is a bit unclear. I was told that IF YOU USE MOBILE ME, YOU CANNOT HAVE THE SYNC BOXEXS CHECKED FOR ICAL, MAIL,CONTACTS, OR YOU WILL HAVE DUPLICATE ENTRIES. I am not sure if this is true or what started the whole problem. It does kind of make sense given there are Mobile me options in the system prefs for what to do with them as well.
Apple should have told me the above after they tried to resolve this duplicate problem last December by resetting my mobile me with my laptop, deleting and reinstalling my account on my phone and syncing with Mobile me. If they had, I would not have had the duplicate entries and as well as accounts a few weeks later. I also would not have tried using the same method to re-fix the problem leading to all my calenders prior to mid December being destroyed!
Why wasn't that warning in the itunes sync dialogue box to begin with?

I have a serious problem with GridBagLayout please help

I have an working code of an Swing application that has used gridbaglayout it works very well in desktop pc on 2000/xp with 800 x 600 screen resolution but the problem is when i change the screen resolution to higher say at 1152 x 864 resolution then the same code all the components are left align and not properly distributed even though i have GridbagConstraints.BOTH for the fill variable of the Gridbaglayout.

Lenovo S205 & Windows 7 64bit. Problems with graphics, please help

Hi,
I recently bought a Lenovo s205:
AMD E-350
It came with 1GB but I upgraded it to 4Gb RAM (1333 running at 1066)
Windows 7 64 Ultimate.
I have tried also Windows 7 32 (Professional, ultimate) and all versions give me the same problem, I will explain here:
I have tried in AHCI mode and IDE mode from the bios and done fresh installs of Windows. Still the same.
After installing all the drivers, I get randomly in different programs "black" or sometimes "white" menus. Whenever I set the cursor on the menu (White or black part), the letters start showing up.
On Firefox for example, it happened where you write the address (Ex: www..) And when searching images too.
I have tried the original drivers that the Lenovo's website has for the S205 and the latest from Ati/AMD and nothing solves the problem.
What can this be? Faulty ram? Faulty OS? Problem with the graphic card drivers?
Please help, it is so frustrating.
Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for your help.
I will try capturing some screenshots if that helps.
I can discard the problem with the ram at the moment. I have tried a new set of ram (two 2gb modules = 4gb in total). The problem persists, even when they are tried individually. I also tried the original ram module the Lenovo came with (1module of 1gb), alone. Problem persists too.
However, I do not have a problem trying the VGA output. Will this help too? As I do not have any screen with HDMI at the moment.
What I will do too, is to try a Windows 7 from another disc, a Home version 32 bit. I hope this can get the problem fixed.
The main issue is that I bought this computer from Germany (From a store on eBay) and came with DOS. I will have to return it to the seller, I assume, if the rest fails to show any improvements.
Thank you for your reply and any more suggestions are welcome.

Another person who has a problem with Flash - Please Help!!

I have a Dell Dimension 4700 Intel (R) Pentium (R) - 4 CPU 2.80 GHz 2.79 GHz 504 MB of RAM
For a few years now I would have to restore the computer to an earlier time after an update was done in order to view youtube, etc. It seemed that when my computer did an automatic update it would mess up the flash player.
My husband just recently did another update and now the flash isn't working and the computer won't restore anymore.
I keep getting the following messages: adobe flash player active x set up failed to install 19166
program error: failed to register status installation complete
I have uninstalled and installed the flash several times
everytime i go to install flash it says: Adobe Flash Player 10: This application has been downloaded before. Reload?
Then I get: Your security settings do not allow websites to use ActiveX controls installed on your computer.
I don't want to take this somewhere because I have a feeling that will just wipe the computer clean and I have a feeling it is something stupid that I'm not doing.
Please Help.

OK...Check, check...did all that. I am cutting and pasting a segment from the flash troubleshooting page because its exactly what is happening to me. There were no responses to help this person.
"I've tried installing flash player 9 but am not able to do so. It will begin installing but when it gets to 'items remaining: 4' the progress bar continues to move and underneath says searching but nothing happens. I tried leaving it on all night but same thing when I came back in the morning. When I close the installer it then says 'stopping now may result in an incomplete set of software' Also, when I tried uninstalling previous versions, the uninstaller does nothing. It says 'items uninstalled: 0' and 'processing', but same thing, the thing spins but nothing happens. i tried the other steps given to see if that helped but nothing seems to work."
Here is the page...
http://sdc.shockwave.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&cati d=184&threadid=1267248&enterthread=y#4577694
I tried some of the suggestions above the last two posts. But it looks like my problem is the same as those.
I even tried to post on there but from what I see it looks like I have to have flash to do it...I get the page with the blue lego brick.
I'm pulling my hair out. I didn't realize how much of the internet ran on flash.

Problems with iTunes, please help

Hey:
This is my problem... I just bought and iPod Nano and installed the iTunes software, and at the beginning it was working perfect, then my computer started doing weird stuff every time iTunes was on and it even got me the blue screen of death (I have a PC and my OS is Windows Vista Ultimate) so I had to restart my computer.
After doing it, I cant open iTunes anymore. Each time I do I get first a message that says "iTunes has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the problem.", after that I get a message that says "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if any solution is available."
Then I get a windows that says this:
"Download updates for iTunes
This problem was caused by iTunes. iTunes was created by Apple Inc..
Solution
A newer version of iTunes is available for download that will address this problem. Apple Inc. recommends updating to the latest version of iTunes to take advantage of security and stability improvements.
Go to the Apple Inc. website and install the latest version of iTunes:
Apple Inc."
But Im already running the last version and Ive even desinstalled and installed the software twice. I dont know what else to do and without iTunes, my iPod Nano is worth nothing.

What happens if you try to start Quicktime? Does it work normally? I am guessing that it doesn't, but describe what happens with any error message in full.
I am jumping the gun with the troubleshooting sequence here, but ...
Have installed any of the following - ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, also WinAVI video converter. These are know to cause problems with QUicktime and need to be uninstalled.
ANyway I suggest you do a complete removal of iTunes and associated programs followed by a phased install of QUicktime then iTunes.
Download a new copy of iTunes and the stand alone Quicktime installer:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use the follwing method to remove the programs:
XP
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
Install Quicktime and check if it works, then install iTunes.
Does it work now?
This has been based on the assumption that QUicktime doesn't work, if it is OK here is an iTunes troubleshooting link:

Audio/Firewire Problems with Mini, Please Help!

I just bought a brand new Mini from Amazon.com and am having some problems. First, when I plug computer speakers into the mini, the sound continues to come from the internal speaker and the mini ignores the speakers. In System Preferences, it doesn't even recognize that something is plugged into the machine.
Second, the Mini does not recognize my external, Firewire iSight camera. In System Profiler, it does not show anything connected to the port when the camera is connected.
The Mini is the latest rev running 10.4.11. Leopard upgrade disks should be in the mail soon.
Any ideas as to what is wrong? Should I just return to Amazon for a replacement? Thanks for your help!

Having just posted in a similar situation, pardon the cut and paste, but these are the first two (and easiest) things to try:
First reset parameter RAM - it's an area of non-volatile memory used for system settings and hardware configuration. It it gets corrupted, it can cause odd problems.
Reset PRAM
-Shut down the computer.
-Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
-Turn on the computer.
-Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
-Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
-Release the keys.
Next, perform an SMC reset. The SMC is the device which controls system hardware and devices, so if there is a problem with hardware components not functioning, it could be that.
To reset the SMC on an Intel mini:
-From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
-Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
-Wait at least 15 seconds.
-Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
-Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
-Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

I'm having multiple problems with Lion. Please help!
