I need help for all you wise Mac users... please

Yesterday, my beloved Mac started acting strangely. Just before that, I uploaded some photos my daughter emailed to my yahoo address. I placed the 8 photos in IPhoto, then tried to go back to Pogo.com where I spend most of my puter time. (Pogo is very Java-based, so I empty the cache, delete cookies and temp files regularly.) Pogo home page just barely loaded, very slow, and none of the games would open. When I tried to stop a game from loading, it froze. I finally had to Force Quit Safari.
In the past when Safari has acted up, the first, and most times the last thing I do is repair disk in Disk Utility. That did nothing to help this new problem. So I came here and started following suggestions I found. So far (with no luck fixing the problem) I have:
1. Made sure Javascript is enabled in Safari/Pref/Security. It was.
2. Trashed cookie.plist, then restarted Safari
3. Trashed Safari cache folder in Library/Caches/Safari, then restarted Safari
4. Booted from Install disk, repaired HD in Disk Utility (disk was fine, verified no problems)
5. Did the Apple Hardware test, that was fine (thank goodness!)
6. Installed Shiira to see if it had the same slow, hang, freeze that Safari has. It does. So, in fact, does Firefox.
I'm sure there were a few other things I tried, but can't remember them now. What the heck is going on with my browsers? And how can I fix them? Help, please.
ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

You have done your homework but perhaps it's the Safari preference file... they can become corrupted. Locate this file; com.apple.safari.plist
It's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to your Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it still acts up, drag that com.apple.safari.plist file to the Trash. It's the culprit. Reboot your iBook. And your Mac will create a new Safari.plist file for you. You will have to reset your Safari preferences but it just might do the trick.
If this doesn't do the trick, post back. ** You will get more feedback... just be patient.

  • For all you old Mac Users

    Remember INITS? Small wonderful applications that you could install and just do about anything with. Though I am a obvious now a OS. X user I need a INIT type application.
    I am looking for a good, old fashioned Monitor/Display Utility, to simply adgust my Contrast, Levels & Balances.
    I have tried the typical ColorSync Utility and the Display/System Preferences Panel and they are... useless[at least for this cause].
    Does anybody know of a OS X Utility INIT that can achieved this?

    On question, where would you keep files that are not current but not old if you get me. For example, a folder of short, funny movie clips that is added to rarely, but is added to?
    The only difference is that I keep my raw footage, for fear of needing it in the future.
    I keep all raw footage, i.e. I keep the original tapes.
    The finished movies end up on a DVD (also a kind of backup), the TS files are kept on the external in its Movie Folder for instant playback as required, as are those snippets, free title sequences (clouds, waves etc), and bits and pieces one receives from friends and relatives. These all have an alias in the Movies Folder on the internal drive so Front Row can find them. Similar setup with the iTunes library.
    My Documents Folder is also backed up regularly on to DVDs, but otherwise just kept up to date as part of the regular cloning.
    Not (yet) having a digital camera, my 9000 or so scanned negatives and slides (200 dpi TIFF files, each around 8MB) are sorted in folders by year, each of which is backed up on DVDs, and the entire 'Archive' is backed up on the external drive on two different partitions. Yes, I know, that is like keeping the only two copies of your will in the same safe, but for me that will have to do!
    As for fragmentation, that really is not a problem with OS X. Perhaps one could, every year or two, delete the internal drive and clone back from the clone, if you see what I mean. But even via firewire it takes half a day to copy up to 200GB, and life is short enough already!

  • Need help for downloading java at mac book retina

    i want to download java at my mac book pro retina but everytime we downloaded its not working..i need this because im going to use it to open my bank account...everytime i gonna check my bank account i need to use another computer not this my mac.why?? can you help me please.

    Banks do NOT use Java-in-a-Browser for anything, at all. If you have received a suggestion to conduct banking with JAVA enabled in your Browser, someone is attempting to commit a crime, with you as the intended victim.  You are being scammed and should report it to the Police.

  • A tip/hint for all you software instrument users or should be users

    unless Apple starts making thicker, fuller sounding instruments for midi usage
    or sound fonts get better or the interfase is built up to allow for easy and good midi out functioning thus the ability to layer external synths, you are stuck with the sounds you get.
    But a tremendous perk for your musical compositions in GB is the ability to copy a track of midi data or audio data and even triple or quadruple it. Using the same or different instruments and effects will certainly come close to professionalizing the sound. You might need lots of power to do this. I dont know and its a shame that GB is a RAM eater. It might seem like a severe neurosis or ridiculous overkill but i run GB without any other app on except mail and with 10 GB RAM on a MACPRO and as soon as the new ones come out soon
    <edited by host - see the [Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms] section 2.1.1>. I cant see fully enjoying GB without lots of power. Its ease of use has me hooked and what can be done with it with a lot of patience and tricks like the one i gave you is astounding. I bought LOGIC EXPRESS a few years ago and threw it in the Garbage it tortured me so and stopped me from making music. I dont want more manuals. I want melodic passages.
    So triple your data tracks and add effects and save up for a powerful MAC and make GB really do a better job for you.
    <edited by host - see the [Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#terms], section 2.6.3>
    take care best of luck,

    Mastering is a life long pursuit. No matter how much you do there is always something more you can learn and do. Long term practice of the art of mastering often leads to ones "style" or technique but the learning never stops.
    I think the best way to get an overall grip on modern mixing today for me at least is from absorption from the magazine Computer Music.
    http://www.computermusic.co.uk/
    It is available in the U.S.
    It may seem overwhelming at first read but over time if you read the articles even without fully understanding them the process of osmosis begins to set in.
    I think the articles in this magazine can really enlighten the reader to a lot of different approaches to mixing and mastering.
    Its really a great wealth of technique. After a year of just exposing yourself to it you will be light years ahead in mixing and mastering technique. That includes everything from compression on ward.
    If you do not work with or in a pro mixing house it is not all that easy to learn many of these techniques. This is the advantage of a magazine like Computer Music. Its like visiting Bob down in mixing bay A and sitting with him while he does a session.

  • Dual display help for a recently converted mac user

    I have a 24" Intel IMac and I wanted to set up dual displays. I may have jumped the gun a little because I didn't do much homework but I found a big cheap monitor at Best Buy which is an HP w2338. I bought that and the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I hooked everything up and both monitors work but I have a couple small issues that I can't seem to find how to fix. First, I have about a 1.5 inch strip along the left side of my hp monitor that isn't used at all. It is just a black strip that taunts me. When I drag things from my IMac to my HP it drags fine, but it just acts like the monitor is smaller than it is. The resolution on my IMac is set to 1680x1050 and on my HP it is 1920x1080. Second, I have very faint vertical stripes in my new HP monitor. They can be seen the best in the grey parts of my windows. Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated.

    On your 24-inch iMac's screen, the native resolution is 1920x1200. You can use a lower resolution, but the display will seem a bit fuzzy (the pixels are being approximated). So you should use 1920x1200 on the iMac's screen, unless you have a good reason to use something else.
    On the HP display, it sounds like the native resolution is 1920x1080. That's the resolution of an HDTV, so it should work. However, when you connect an HDTV, it connects with a digital connection, HDMI. So I think it will work if you connect it HDMI. If that monitor happens to have DVI, use DVI.
    If it only has VGA and HDMI, there was a recent topic that was very similar (same display I think). Is your iMac the older model (not the brand new 2009 model) with a Mini-DVI port? If so, take a read there to see if the information is applicable to your situation.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9247482
    Now, if that display you have is different, and it has a DVI connector, please post back.

  • Need Help for Java Homework Assignment, Can someone Please help me ?

    This is the program that I am supposed to write, and I am terrible confused, as it takes at least 3 different files.
    Write a class named GroceryList that representss a person's list of items to buy from the market, and another class named GroceryItemOrder that represents a request to purchase a particular item in a given quantity. (I.E. four boxes of cookies).
    **The GroceryList class should use an array field to store the grocery items, as well as keeping track of its size (number of items in the list so far). Assume that a grocery list will have no more than 10 items. A GrocerList object should have the following methods:
    public GroceryList()
    Constructs a new empty grocery list.
    public void add(GroceryItemOrder item)
    Adds the given item order to this list, if the list is not full (i.e., has fewer than 10 items).
    public double getTotalCost()
    Returns the total sum of all grocery item orders in this list.
    The GroceryItemOrder class should store an item quantity and a price per unit. A GroceryItemOrder object should have the following methods:
    public GrocerItemOrder(String name, int quantity, double pricePerUnit)
    Constructs an item order to purchase the item with the given name, in the given quantity, which costs the given pricer per unit.
    public double getCost()
    Returns the total cost of this item in its given quantity. I.E. 4 boxes of cookies that cost 2.30 per unit, have a total cost of 9.20.
    public void setQuantity(int quantity)
    Sets the grocery item's quantity to be the given value.
    Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Pete,
    I having difficulty with the main class, and getting console to store a users input into a string array ... I will post the code that I have so far. Sorry I am trying real hard to learn ... and just having a frustrating time.
    This is what I have in the main file.
    import java.util.*;
    public class Chapter_8 {
         public static void main(String []args){
              Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.println("Please enter the first item of your list");
              String[]GroceryList = console.next();
              System.out.println("Please enter the next item of your list");
              String[]GroceryList = console.next();
              System.out.println("How many would you like to buy?");
              int quantity = consolenextInt();
         }This is what I have in the GroceryItem Class file:
    public class GroceryList{
    public GroceryList(){
    Static String []GroceryList ={"beans", "macaroni", "milk", "cheese", "bread", "eggs","hamburger","Hotdogs","peas","cookies"};
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
    System.out.println(GroceryList);
    And the final file that I have is the GroceryItemOrder Class file:public GroceryItemOrder(String name, int quantity, double pricePerUnit){
    this.name = name;
    this.quantity = quantity;
    this.pricePerUnit = pricePerUnit;
    public double getCost(){
    public void setQuantity(int quantity){
    Sorry, I know it isn't much, that's why I am frustrated.
    Thanks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Need help for off topic question...please.

    First off, I want to appologize for posting this here...but it seems that the forum it belongs too it not accepting any new postings. At least I don't see a post button at the top. So anyone who is knowledgeable and patient with me would be most appreaciative.
    I use both Safari and Netscape. Im not sure which app. is doing this but it is quite annoying. It seems as I browse using both apps., when I finally do get to my desktop...I see a bookmark file. For example (bookmarks-23.html). If I just ignore it, they accumulate. As you can see, this is bookmark number 23. I am not sure what app. is doing this and why it is doing it. What could even happen to cause this.
    Any help would be appreaciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Eddy

    Hi Eddy
    I guess you mean the safari forum, right?
    The reason you're not seeing a post button, is cuz you're not actually viewing the forum itself, but a list of recent topics.
    Just above that list - look for the actual link to the Safari forum.
    now you mention it.... I guess it could seem like there's no post button, if you're not already familiar with the discussions site.
    continuing OT - Quit either one of your browsers & use the other; if you get a #24 & 25 bookmarks file, you'll know it's the browser you're using now that creates them.
    When you know that - I'd suggest a new question in the Safari forum

  • Help for a rookie 3120 Classic user please

    Just purchased a 3120 classic.  wish I had checked here first as the backlighting thing (or lack of) is really annoying.  My question is - are you able to set a signature on your outgoing text messages? my very old Sanyo allowed me to have my name automatically at the end of all texts I sent, which I found convenient. Thanks in advance for your help.

    You can't do that but you can compromise by creating and saving message template with your name at the end and creating all your messages from that template but I don't think you can set a shortcut to the template itself for your standby screen so getting to the the point where you actually start typing in your messages will now be a few extra clicks
    Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

  • Need help for flash builder

    i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
    here is my codes:
    can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
    package
        import flash.display.BitmapData;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.Event;
        import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;

                sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
                camera.fov = 25;
                scene.addChild(sphere);
                addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
            public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
                sphere.yaw(0.2);
                singleRender();

    Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
    Something like this:
    <fx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
              var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
              function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
                   var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
                   navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
         ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
    Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

    That's simple.
    All you have to do is:
    From MENU goto SETTINGS, When there scroll down and select 'Restore Factory Setting'.
    There are two options in there:
    "Restore Settings only"
    and
    "Restore all"
    Select "Restore All"
    When done the phone will delete every thing on the Phone memory(C:\)(contacts,picture,messages etc)
