I messed BIG TIME DX

hey people i just really messed up my Imac. i just bought it a few days ago.... i tried to put windows on it and used boot camp.... but i seemed to delet the partion that it ws suppose to be put on..... now each time it boots all i see is a black screen and a line flashing.... i need help.... if there is a way to restart the hard drive please tell me DX

I can think of several things you might have done wrong. Try restarting the computer while holding down the 'X' key at the same time. If you didn't format that Mac's partition (or delete it) this will force the computer to start up using the Mac OS. If this doesn't work then we'll know you did indeed manage to kill off your Mac installation and you'll need to take care of that (see below). Now that you are back in MacLand, go back the BootCamp Assistant and try again.
If your computer didn't start up by holding the 'X' key, get out your grey installation disc. Pop it into the computer and restart holding the 'C' key. This will force the computer to start from the disc. (It used to be C for boot from CD so Apple didn't just pull the C out of thin air). Once you get to the choose your language screen, mouse up to the menubar and look for the option to run Disk Utility. Select 1 partition as your scheme and format the drive HFS+ with journalling. Quit Disk Utility, choose your language and reinstall the Mac OS.

  • NEED HELP BIG TIME!

    I wrote a few days ago about this and was told that gathering
    information from a form using Post as the method and having the
    results emailed to someone wasn't a good idea and that it didn't
    work very well. People basically told me to investigate scripting
    or hiring someone, or use a pay service like MailChimp. None of
    these are options for me right now, I absolutely have to get this
    site done tonight and the person I'm doing it for will not pay for
    a service.
    The client wants to have a form on his site to collect email
    addresses so he can compile them into a mailing list to send out
    infrequent emails notifying people of upcoming events he's putting
    on. He's a local artist with a very modest following, nothing big
    time. I have no idea about databasing or MySql, and the person
    doesn't want to pay for a service, so basically I'm stuck doing it
    the "unreliable" way.
    Can someone walk me through how to do this in Dreamweaver? I
    assume I add a form field, and put a text field and submit button
    inside of it. Here's my questions, to get this to work and use the
    mailto: thing, what do I put for...
    Form Field: Name, Action, Method, Target, Enctype
    Text Field: Name
    Button: Type, Name, ID, Value
    Any help would be greatly appreciated by one stressed out,
    hack web designer, thanks!

    If this client doesn't want to pay for a service then tell
    him the best
    you can do is gather INDIVIDUAL emails from his site and have
    them
    emailed to their email address. Then it's up to them to mail
    out to
    their modest following INDIVIDUALLY.
    Basically you put a form on the site to collect the email
    address of the
    user. Like this:
    <form name="emailForm" method="post"
    action="formmail.php">
    <p><label for="email">Enter email
    address</label><br>
    <input type="text" id="email" name="email"> </p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    You would then need to send the submitted form to a formmail
    script
    which will then send it on to the clients email address.
    A free script named Formmail does exist if you search for it
    in google
    under Free formmail script
    You would need to alter the script as per the instructions
    which should
    come with it and then upload it to your cgi-bin assuming you
    have one on
    your server.
    You then point the form at the script by filling in the
    action attribute
    like:
    <form name="emailForm" method="post"
    action="
    http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
    I no longer use formmail because it can be a bit of an issue
    to set up
    for beginners.
    I now tend to use server side scripting like php to gather
    the
    information. IF you have php running on your server then
    NateMail is
    FREE and very very simple script to set up. It comes with
    clear pdf
    instructions that will do the job in about 10-15mins.

  • What happened to Big Time Moms

    What happened to the latest episode of Big Time Rush? Sunday afternoon it was in the store and when I went to watch it it was the previous episode. When I went back to the store it was no longer available.

    Thanks Jon, I appreciate the info.
    I guess I saw a bit about that in the wikipedia but I still will have to figure out why audio isn't working in my FCS2 exports on this PC using this software.
    cause I know its there in the final mpg but it just won't play.
    anyone using media shout?
    I have checked their website and their forum as well.... hopefully will get an answer there.
    If anyone runs into this as well I can post my findings here as well.....
    Thanks for the help.
    DROCK.

  • I pre-ordered the Big Time Rush album 24/seven and never recieved anything

    I pre-ordered the new Big Time Rush album 24/seven a month ago. I haven't gotten any email and the album released today. A lot of people (on twitter) were going crazy saying how awesome the album is and yet I have recieved nothing. What do I do to get it to download?
    I have the automatic downloads option clicked for both my computer and iPhone.

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded. If not, check the Purchases area of the iTunes Store and you may be able to download the album there:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If not, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17.

    Sorry Mozilla, but Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17. I've turned off automatic updates. V4 breaks JQuery and who knows what else, so I'll be a lifelong customer of my v3.6.17 version, coz I'm just not going to have established, clean, awesome code killed by the browser! Only I build web apps so I've got to get all my clients to stop upgrading, too. I've been a Firefox guy for years now, but this is the end of my rope. Chrome is pretty good, as is Safari. I guess one of these is going to be my browser going forward.

    I got back from Firefox 9 to my older 3.6.8 version. Despite of the really ugly new look there are silly annoyances like the trasposed right click pop up menu "open in new window - open in new tab" I cant tell you how many times ive right clicked and hit open in new window instead of open in new tab
    However, the great flop are the disabled add-ons I was accustomed to (PoxySel and Auto shut down among others )
    Many years ago I choose Firefox because the add-ons power but if you take them off and destroy the UI I was comfortable with you are inviting me to try ANY other new browser...like the so-talked Chrome.
    Seriously, you should be careful with retro-compatibility. At least, give the user the chance to keep the old look, layout and utilities.
    Thank you folks!

  • FCP HD Crash! Big time!

    Hi all, could you please help. I am on MacBook Pro Duo Core 2.0 with 2GB RAM and running Mac OS 10.4.9. I had Final Cut Studio installed. The thing is, it crashes big time! Tried to start again and ot crashes again. Tried re-installing, but still crash. I run software updates and install FCP Update 5.1.4, Quicktime 7.5, and OS (Intel) updates, all successful except FCP 5.1.4. It said something about conflicting IDs or wrong key of some sort. Please help. I am getting really frustrated on this as I had my worked all stalled up because of this! I am not sure whether the problem is FCP, or Quicktime or the OS it self. Weird that problems only arises as they shifted to Intel processors. I tried running the video with Quicktime, but it crashes too.
    Any idea? Help, please.

    You probably need to delete your FCP license. Once gone, when you launch FCP, the program will ask you to fill in all the information again and should launch.
    The license is located here:
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut Pro System ID
    good luck.

  • Why does my audio quality drop big time when I use the compressor to compress my final cut studio project?

    Hi,
    When I'm working on a project, my audio sounds great but once I put my project though the compressor it looses it's volume big time when I play the DVD on a DVD player or computer. Where does the problem lie? How do I maintain the smae quailty of audio on the finished DVD?
    thanks in advance,
    Iki

    You'll need to duplicate the Dolby Digital preset then alter the duplicate so that the DialNorm setting is -31dbfs and the Compression is set to NONE. Use the new, custom preset to create an ac3 file with the same output levels you had in your FCP Sequence.

  • My broadband wi-fi is chewing up MBs big time and I don't know why!

    Hi everyone Since yesterday for some unknown reason my 4G broadband wi-fi is chewing up MBs big time from my laptop and I really don't know why!  Even with the web browsers shut down, the broadband is chewing up at least 1MB per second and counting.  Maybe it's a malware problem?   I'm sure it's not a devious neighbour accessing the broadband because whenever I disconnect my laptop from the wi-fi, the wi-fi device stops chewing up MBs.  So it's something to do with my laptop.  I have a Sophos installed so I thought would have picked up any virus chewing up the MBs? Help anyone!  

    Has your laptop been downloading and updates? If you're using Windows, you can change the settings in control panel to stop it automatically downloading updates, you can choose which updates you want to install.
    If Mac, I'm not knowledgable with Apple devices. I would recommend chatting with wireless Bigpond Tech Support on 13 39 33 "wireless"

  • Beats Audio Control Panell (edited) big time.

    Beats Audio Control Panell (edited) big time. 
    Its the uglyest layout I have seen, after using the IDT Audio Control Panell in my old HDX 18.
    I miss the ability to change the backgrounds, the graphic EQ, the change of font and panell colour trim amung other things.
    Soooo,,,,,,,,,
    I'm going to do a restore point,
    Delete the Beats Audio,
    Restart,
    Install the sp45011.exe  from my old HDX18-1374ca,
    Hopefully all will work fine,
    If not,
    I have a restore point ,,,,,,,,,,,

    Hi, I to own a similar model spectre, 3210nr. I am having the exact same issue and was not able to be helped by tech support staff. Infact the staff I spoke to claimed it was hardware related.
    I am unable to make any changes that are physically reflected to my beats audio control panel. Most importantly my volume dial is locked on clockwise operation despite my settings selection. I also cannot change my EQ or Recording experience settings.
    The issue only started the other day when a technician was helping me with another random problem with my tocuhpad drivers.
    I tried a system restore and reinstalling the idt drivers along with spending a few hours with tech support using a remote access session.  I think they did a bios update which I think is a possible culprit.
    I'd hate to send my laptop in for repair due to previous EXTREME negative experiences  on multiple seperate occasions with HP. I really hope someone from HP see this message and is able to help resolve this issue. Or maybe someone in the community with a work around.
    Thanks.

  • 'Date and Time' messing up big time!

    Under 'Date and Time' settings, it says that it's January 2, 2581 BE, and it won't let be set it back to the present date. Whenever I do, it puts every other month, date, and year so that I can't select it.
    Another problem I'm having is that one alert keeps popping up every 30 seconds. It says 'Cannot Verify Server Identity. MobleMail can't verify the identity of "sptm.gmail.com". Would you like to continue anyway?'.

    Go to Settings>General>International and make sure the calendar is set to Gregorian. Then correct the time and date.

  • I bought a new computer and it had firefox4beta 11 in it. It worked fine till it upgraded to beta 12, then the printer messed up big time. Had to go bck down to firefox3.6

    I bought a HP computer and already had HP 8500 printer which I love. When automatic update happened to firefox 4 beta 12, the printer started printing weird and could not read it. The print was spread all over the page and was very light. HP Support downgraded the firefox to 3.6 and just now there was an upgrade to 3.6.?? Hopefully this won't cause a problem with the printer

    The printer problem has been documented in a number of other entries. It's a bug that's been fixed for the final FF4 roll-out. It's very unlikely that it has anything to do with your printer.

  • My iTunes album artwork is messed up big time!

    Suddenly, almost all of the album artwork for my albums in iTunes library on my iMac is incorrect!  The wrong album artwork is displayed for almost all albums in my iTunes library.  I'm using iTunes Match, which may have caused the problem, because I never had a problem like this prior to iTunes Match.  I've tried disabling then re-enabling iTunes Match, and the album art is still foobar.
    Oddly, I have a MacBook Pro which on which I'm using iTunes Match, and all of the (same) albums artwork appear correct.

    I had this problem. I found if you turn iTunes Match off on your iPod/iPad/iPhones then sync the device to itunes. Uncheck Sync Music then click sync. This will remove all your music (i guess you knew that ), now go back to your iOS device and turn iTunes Match back on. After about 5 mins or so (well it was in my case) all your songs and art work will be as it should...
    The only downside to this is you will have to download form the cloud all the songs you want to take with you
    I can only guess that Apple thought we would stream most of our music and not keep it on our devices?
    I just wish Apple would be more clearer on the workings of Itunes Match, its a very good service but not having clear instuctions leaves many to write it off as a bad idea.... as I almost did.
    Still I hope this helps.

  • I messed up BIG time....

    Or so I think.
    So apparently, I decided to erase my partition of Windows on my iMac. However, Bootcamp would not run. So instead, I did a dumb thing and erased the disk image using DISK UTILITY, thinking it would erase the partition as well.
    What a dumb mistake. The partition is still there and when I try to use Bootcamp, all it says is this:
    "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    Now, I don't know what to do! Does anyone know how I can get rid of the partition?

    SO WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION? I'm having the same issue. Please respond. Thanks.

  • Oh boy have i messed things up big time

    Here is a summary of what has happened, please dont laugh at me
    I installed windows on my imac, but accidentally partitioned it for 32mb. Needing much more space, one things led to the other the windows partition was damaged, and unable to boot. Not really needing windows, I decided to live with it, but now I need it for work.
    Browsing around in forums, I figured the best bet would just be back up all my files and wipe out my computer to restore to factory settings. I inserted the jaguar DVD that came with my computer, and followed the instructions to erase the mac hard drive and re-install the OS. All goes smoothly, until the screen tells me that I was unable to install the OS. Ok, no biggie, I'll regroup and figure out a new plan, just let me restart my computer..... as the computer boots up, the mac partition is completely gone. My only 2 options to select are the windows partition that wont load, and the DVD install icons.
    I have the following CDs at my disposal:
    Leapord DVD (currently stuck in the computer)
    AppleCare Protection Plan TechTool Delux
    MacBook Mac OS X Install DVD (from my fathers macbook)
    Any idea what to do, or am I beyond hope and should bring this to the experts.
    So I guess macs are not 100% idiot proof

    Hi pon5555;
    Have you tried holding down the left side of the mouse as you power the Mac up. That usually forces the optical drive to eject immediately.
    You can forget about your father DVD. That is specific to his macbook and will only get you into a worst fix.
    I find your story a bit confusing. It sounds like you can boot from the Jaguar CD but now the Leopard DVD is stuck in your optical drive. What step transpired in between that you have failed to tell us about?
    If it were my Mac, I would boot it from a DVD and repair the disk using Disk Utility. Once I had finished that I would write off everything on the disk and do an Erase & Install. This will in effect start you again from scratch.
