I think I made a major error and need some help.

Well, I sort of knew this was a bad idea but you know how it goes sometimes. I put the Tiger OS disk from my intel imac to try and get garageband to use on the portable. Those of you who are smarter than me know what happened next the computer boots into a horrible looking kernal situation and says: holding here. I have tried booting in safe mode to no avail and the disk will not come out. Did I kill my powerbook? is there any fix for this? I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.
imac intel 17, 15" powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Okay have you tried to zap the P-Ram using optioncommand/apple+pr when booting up until you hear the chimes/dingdong type sound ?
Alternatively shiftctrl+commandpower button = immediate shutdown and will reset the bios + clock/time.
You can also try to hold down the option key just after pressing the power on button and holding it till a blue/purple screen appears to show start up disks and then after all rotating thingy's stopped click the eject button or press the eject button.
Also there is something like pressing the right mouse button using an external mouse while booting or something like this ??
It has been some time since I tried it.
PS: If you need garage band once the OSX is up and running you should be able to insert the disk and install optional programs IE: Garage band etc.
I usually right click / ctrl click on the install disk where the Install Tiger icon is and select "SHOW PACKAGE CONTENT" and then browse for files looking for garageband.pkg or similar.
Usually in the system/library/packages folder that is hidden on the install disk or similar , you have to search for it and copy it off for future use.
There is a app that can enable hidden files or make it back to what it is now but I have forgotten the name , just search macupdate.com for "hidden files" and you will find many options.
Hope this helps.

I am getting a PostScript error and need some help

I am trying to download an Illustrator file from my online class and am getting this message: %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ]%%. Is there a simple solution, I have done everything that I know how to do. I have installed Illustrator CS6 and uninstalled CS5 from my computer and I have Acrobat XI pro installed. Please help.

It isn't clear what you are doing with this PostScript file. What are you doing, and where do you get the error?
Also, are there any other lines of messages first, this isn't actually an error, just tells you there was one.

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

Error 1603: Need some help with this one

When installing iTunes I first get an error box saying
"Error 1406: Could not write value to key \Software\classes\.cdda\OpenWithList\iTunes.exe. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
The second one (after I click on Ignore on the last box) I get it this one:
"Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation.
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information"
Strange thing is that I do have full access to my computer (or atleast in all other cases I have had since I am the only one with an account on it).
I have done my best in trying to solve it myself but I'm running out of ideas. I have downloaded latest versions from the website and tried installing Quicktime separately. I have also tried removing Quicktime using add/or remove programs though I just I didn't dare to take full removal because it said something about system files.
Anyway I really need some help with this, anyone got any ideas?

Do you know how to count backwards? Do you know how to construct a loop? Do you know what an autodecrementor is? Do you know how to use String length? Do you know Java arrays start with index 0 and run to length-1? Do you know you use length on arrays too? Do you know what System.out.println does?
Show us what you have, there isn't anything here that isn't easily done the same as it would be on paper.

Chain step is being skipped and need some help with why?

Hi, all.
I'm hoping for some help from the community again.
There's a chain created (code below) and it's running successfully -- at least it's building MOST tables.
The problem is: the last three tables are all dependent on the same condition and only two of them run.
From the code below, step 4, step 5 and step 6 are all dependent on the success of step 3.
When the job for this chain is run, all the steps run successfully except for step 5.
The interesting thing (to me at least) is that whichever table build is step 5 fails. For example, in the code below prog_Y is assigned to step 5 and it fails. If I swap prog_Y to step_4 and prog_X to step_5, step_5 still fails. Same result if prog_Z is listed as step 5. While steps 4 and 6 run successfully.
The additional info in job run details lists: table or view does not exist. However, I've confirmed the procs behind the programs each run successfully and the tables do exist.
I've tried several things to get more info: changing the step numbers.dropping/redefining step, dropping chain and redefining, retyping the steps and rules.
Please help. Any suggestions of why this step 5 might be failing or where to look for more information is super helpful.
Thanks so much
Fritz

Looks like this may have been a self-inflicted error.
There were some other errors that confound this explanation. But right now this seems to be the most likely case.
The END condition initially was step 6 completed. Turns out, when step 3 succeeded, all steps 4, 5 and 6 were kicked off simultaneously. Well, step 6 had a shorter run time than step 5. So step 6 would finish and trigger the end of the chain before step 5 finished.
This has been consistently working since the END condition was updated to evaluate steps, 4, 5 and 6.

Working on first Java project in Ecplise and need some help

I am working on a Java project. I am working a programme to show sets of requirements to a software engineer. At the end the programme will show all consistent requirements with no conflicts between them.
I am working on the first section. This invloves creating a class with a HashSet to insert the requirements in to the class. I am using this code at the moment
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
public class requirements {
     public void HashSet() {
          Set<String> requirements = new HashSet<String>();
          //Declare some string items
          String item_1 = "r1";
          String item_2 = "r2";
          String item_3 = "r3";
          boolean result;
          //Add the items to the Set
          result = requirements.add(item_1);
          System.out.println(item_1 + ": " + result);
          result = requirements.add(item_2);
          System.out.println(item_2 + ": " + result);
          result = requirements.add(item_3);

          result = requirements.add(item_1);
          System.out.println(item_1 + ": " + result);
          //Adding null
          result = requirements.add(null);
          System.out.println("null: " + result);
          //Adding null again
          result = requirements.add(null);
          System.out.println("null: " + result);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          new requirements().HashSet();
the class is called requirements and I get these errors
Return type of the method is missing
Syntax error on token class, delete this token
Syntax error on token misplaced construct
Syntax error insert Enum body to complete EnumheaderName
Syntax Error insert Enum body to complete enum decleration
The public type requirements must be defined in its own file.
The next stage would be to send the Hashset to another class to perform operation on the set. The other class is called specification. Can anyone help me to resolve the errors and pass the set to the other class.
Thanks

ThanksReading your code, it looks wrong... but it turns out that a lot of it was because you did not use CODE brackets like this:
{+code}
System.out.println("hello");
{code+}
becomes
   System.out.println("hello");It also seems that you code works as it is.
though I recommend putting classes inside a package.
Syntax error insert Enum body to complete EnumheaderNameWhere is this even in your code? Did you post the code you had a problem with?

Hey Forum peeps,
I have a treo 700wx working on Sprints network and running on windows mobile version5. I am a BIG game freak and am looking to download a playable version of Maniac Mansion (any version) and I dont know how to go about doing this. I have read it is a playable game but I am NO techie and need to be walked through step by step so hopefully someone out there will remember what it was like to first start out and give me a helping hand.
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. This process is used to install any 3rd party program onto your 700wx. First connect the usb cable and sync. Now on your computer go on the web and find you program/game you are looking for that is in a windows mobile 5 format, compatable with wm5 and download it to your computer. It will be a compressed file in a .zip format most likely. Go to where you saved the file and right click on it and select extract here. Once extracted you should have a setup file which you run to install the program. Follow that process and it will realize it is a windows mobile file and install it accross the cable to the 700wx. When it is finished on the computer it will tell you to check the 700wx for further instructions. At that point check the screen on the device and follow the directions. The key is to download a file that is windows mobile compatable, if you download a palm os format file or other mobile operating system file it will not install. Hope that helps.

BIG Pickle---i have a B-TREE error and need B-HELP !!!!

I speciffically bought this G4 cuz it was suppose be a bit different......called a 'custom built' dual 1.2.5 G4 mmd. i got it right when the G5 was introduced and yes this time i new about the new 32 bit arch. and all the new goos stuff....BUT.......i needed to run my OS9 apps.......would have cost me thouse and to upgrade everything.
my point is......was that true......i was told that a G5 could not run OS9 either could many of the new G4s.......so whats all this about 'partitioning'.......why couldn't i have partisitned a new G5 to run 'classic' or OS9.2.2 ?
I say all this cuz even though i have adabted slowly to OSX, i still need my OS9 for many things........BUT IT DOESN'T WORK !!!......i startup in ( and get a BOMB error-2 what turns out to be a [B-Tree -keys out of order] but can't be fixed by first aid.......CAN'T.
So what was so 'custom' about this G4 ?
-1 what app-fix-utility will fix this B-Tree ?
(must be something other then clean-install)
-2 can anyone tell me what made this G4 cost 2400 at the same time a new G5 cost the same ?
(was that a scam to sell out their stock OR like in may cases as techknowledgy moves on sometimes there are certain things that have unique properties that you won't see again)
The b tree issue only happenes apon trying to open OS9, even in seperate HDs. i emailed 'disk warrior' and they can't say for sure......so im hoping a real MAC addact can help me.
thanks.
-dave

Sorry for the delay.....i do appreciat the detailed help.
Ok Carl.......I have what is called a 'dual-boot' G4, w/ dual 1.2.5. I bought it the same month the G5 came out and you bet i wanted that 32-bit arch i had been reading about....BUT more then one sales person told me that to 'their knowledge' the new G5 and even the recent G4s weren't designed to run OS9..........and remember, before {X] was [9]....and that was the big deal, well like many of us all my apps were OS9 and after hearing that i felt i would need to upgrade litterly EVERYTHING which would cost even more then the fancy G5, so to play it safe i blew 2400 on this dual-boot which Apple was advetising as the G5 came out so i never got a definitive answer if i made the right choice........i explain all this cuz i assumed this B-tree error would have been one of the issues the dual-boot would have been designed to deal with.
All that being said, im still not a 'pro'.....serious amature so i don't have the funds to continully keep up-grading this 'tool' that i use to edit basic video-music projects on. I get it to work just how i like it and am comfortable with, and viola'.......i need not one or two apps but several to do what i did PERFECTLY yesterday, i can't even go to the new sleek apple site and view the new FCP cuz i don't have the latest QT cuz i don't have the latest OS.........to me that is absurd .
Ok sorry about the rant but it does pertain to this. There are some cool FX i simply can't do in OSX cuz i don't have all the same plugins i did in 9......follow........so i open OS9 from startup disc and get this ERROR 2.......i did try to fix from outside reapair app and got the same mess. saying it can't be fixed with that.
funny thing is i was forced to do a clean install last year on my main HD, moved all apps and files to HDD2.......so not sure how this happened, i allso have issues w/ TRASH while im in OSX from this main HD, they 'dissapear' but don't delete space........"where do they go?????" i also have these phantom zero k files that can't be trashed, they all have this weird 'nunununununu' after the ext. I click on it and BOOM it vanishes, then reapears. i think they are linked to PC files that got in here.
any idea what that is ?
so im hoping that all this is related to this B-tree deal.........so if it simply a matter of DISK WARRIOR....what version do i try, remember im still using [OS 10.2.8]
so any ideas you have i will certainly appreciate.......G4-G5 G whizz......im happy w/ this box for the most part, but these anomolies make it sound like a PC.

I'm new wiith Blackberry and need some help

Hi There,
I'm working on a school in the netherlands and thay are thinking here to give some people a blackberry phone to syncronize there calendar and mail. We are using a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server (with webacces active) for the calendar and mail and so on.
On colleauge now has a Blackberry 8520 and wants to syncronize his exchange account with the blackberry. We tried it and when setting up the mail we did chose "using webmail" and the mail works. However the calendar and contacts don't work.
Is it possible to syncronize a Blackberry with a exchange account (mail, calendar and contacts) without having a blackberry server? When it is possible, how do we have to o it?
Thanks,
Marcel

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The configuration I think you have is MS Exchange on the back end fronted (to the Internet) by Outlook Web Access (OWA). As such, Blackberry Internet Service is the interface between OWA and the BB...there is no direct interaction between the BB and the Exchange server. As such, only email will reconcile wirelessly in this configuration. Calendar, contacts, and other items must be reconciled via USB/BT tether.
Now, that said, there is a free solution to do what you desire -- it's called BES Express. BES is BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides OTA sync of email, calendar, contacts, etc. Full BES is not free. But BES-X is. If you truly require full reconciliation of all things from Exchange, I recommend you research BES-X.
Good luck!

HELP! I'm new at this and need some help getting started

I am currently working on our website and was wondering how do I make a new page?
for example.
I want people to click on a link on the homepage to say a stockist list and see another page open with that information on.
Also I need to know how to make the homepage have white strips on the left and right (for an example of what I mean please visit www.internationalrobes.com)
I look forward to your replies!
Carly

Well, these are more web design related questions, but I will help as much as I can in the context.
Going about adding a page:
1) Navigate to Admin > Layout > Static pages
2) Add a new static page here and enter your content
3) Once it is saved, you should see an eyeglasses icon next to the page and you can copy that url and use it in a link.
4) For example
<a href="common/pagedetail.aspx?PageCode=test">My link here</a>
As far as the white stripes, I think you mean centering a page?
1) Edit the main master page under your theme
2) Center the content using css, more info here: [http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/center-div-block.shtml]
I think you would also benefit from the WebEx i created on implementing a layout into Webtools available here: [http://www.businessoneecommerce.com/developerdownloads/Implementing_a_Webtools_Theme.zip]

I´m new at flex and need some help.

Hi, I’m in the last year of my University Degree and I
was asked to develop a user friendly application to be used by
teachers and students at the University. With this application,
teachers will be able to post new projects with tight deadlines,
and students will deliver their project files through the same
application. The files will be saved in one of the University
servers.
I’ve downloaded the trial version of flex and I think
it’s amazing. I want to suggest to the University to use flex
2.0 to develop this application. I already know how to get data
from the database using ASP/ XML. But I still have some doubts in
my mind that maybe you guys can clarify.
Can I send files with a flex application and store them in a
specific directory in the server?
Can I create a new directory in the same server?
Can I add items to a database?
Regards from Portugal

Flex can upload files to a server.
Flex can not create directories. Use Web Service,
HTTPService, or RemoteObjects.
Flex can not add items directly to a database. Use Web
Service, HTTPService, or RemoteObjects.

I'm a newb to OS9 and need some help

Hey everyone, I just picked up a wallstreet powerbook, and i put a 30GB HD in it, i read about the 8GB boot limit, and partitioned accordingly, but now when i put the install disk in, i can't install itunes! It opens up with stuffit, and says "The Disk with your preffered destination folder is currently locked" Error-44, then i hit ok, but after that i have no idea what to do! Should i install apps on the System Disk (I have a System Disk and a Storage Partition) and just have all the docs (music and what not) 0n the storage? I'm prolly just gonna xpostfacto it soon and put panther on it, but i kinda like OS9, so can someone help me?

Hi, ze -
"The Disk with your preffered destination folder is currently locked"
That message, or one similar to it, is usually returned when the destination disk for the installer is set as a CD. Since a CD can not be written to, it is treated by the OS as if it were a locked volume.
You will need to select a volume on a hard drive as the destination. I suspect that the iTunes installer will need to install a few items in the OS 9 System Folder, so a good choice for a destination would be the volume you have installed OS 9 onto.

Brand new to the Mac World and NEED SOME HELP with startup disk issues

Hello everyone. I am a new Mac user and I purchased my mac on ebay. It's an iMac that came with tiger 10.4.11. I wanted to get a fresh start on the computer, since the person who had it before me did not erase all of his stuff. I didn't know what to do so I got a startup disk/install disk off ebay also. When I go to install it says "software cannot be installed on this computer." Before I bought the software, I had called the apple store and they said it should be fine to buy any install software to put on the computer. If I could get any help it would be appreciated. I had read previous threads that I should hold down c when I start up (didn't work) or that I should select archive or erase and install (I never got these options when I went to install).

A warm welcome to the Discussions!
What iMac is it? I only ask as the Retail Tiger CD/DVDs don't work on IntelMacs, only PPC, (G3, G4, G5 Macs).
Sorry what you were told by the Apple Store, but if it's a Gray CD/DVD then it is Machine specific as Neil stated.
Sooo, what exact iMac is it, and what does it say on the CD/DVD?

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

September 26, 2011
Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown
