I would appreciate some help.

Hello, I had a problem recently where my imac crashed to a blue screen while running windows in bootcamp. It appeared to be a major problem and I could no longer boot to the windows partition.
I was able to finally start my computer up on the mac partition thanks to some help from the forum there. However it appeared that the windows portion had met a fatal problem so I deleted the partition from the mac os partition. I continued to try and restall that partition but recieved an error.
After more research it appeared the error would be fixed by using disk utility to repair the hard drive. I ran the disk repair and it froze midway through. I waited an hour and it was still frozen so I restared.
After restarting there was the folder with the ? it appears my entire mac os partition was also eliminated. I now have the mac-os cd in and am attempting to re-install but am coming across a problem.
When prompted with a select destination volume to install mac os it is empty. It appears my harddrive is gone.
If i go under utilities: Disk utility there is an icon of a harddrive called "media" however i cannot verify or repair anything on it. It also displays a total capacity of 0bytes.
Under system profiler Serial-ATA it reads there was an error while scanning.
Does this all mean that my harddrive died? And if so can it be replaced by the apple store? The computer reads iMac 7,1 intel core duo.
thank you very much in advance.

It possible your iMac's HD has failed. Run Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 if it reports errors then yes you are due for a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP, either can repair it.
Because you don't state where you are located I'm not sure this link will work. If you are in the US then it's fine. http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
Please update your profile with more information.
Good luck,

Would appreciate some help here still fairly new to MAC

Ok I've made the mistake of installing a program called Anacron which is supposed to help with the maintenance of OS X. Well I found out after the fact that there is no need to install ANY programs for maintenance as it is all built into the OS now. So I went to uninstall it and wow has this been a headache . First off there is NO uninstaller and when following the read me file that I found to uninstall it, part of it works and part of it doesn't. This is the information to just disable it (not delete it):
How do I disable or remove anacron?
To disable anacron, run the following commands in a terminal:
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl unload -w ./anacron.plist
cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
The above worked, but the info which is supposed to help you delete it all together does NOT work and I would appreciate some help/comments on why it doesn't. Here is the info for deleting it:
To completely remove anacron from your system, delete (trash):
/usr/local/sbin/anacron
/usr/local/share/man/man5/anacrontab.5
/usr/local/share/man/man8/anacron.8
/Library/LaunchDaemons/anacron.plist
/etc/anacrontab
/var/spool/anacron
/Library/Receipts/Anacron.pkg
When I use Terminal to get in there and delete that stuff, when I try and delete Anacron, I'm given a list of file attributes (I guess) .. it looks something like this:
override rwxr-xr-x root/wheel for anacron?
What in the world does this mean and how in the world can I get this crap deleted from my system? Seems like everything I do is not enough to get this stuff deleted.
Thank you for your time

"Are you borrowing some frined's account, you have lots of messages here for a guy fairly new to mac"
No, the mac is mine, and this is my account. I still consider myself pretty new to MAC OS X. The time of me registering here is right at the same time I received my iMac which is just over a year. To me that is still pretty new I may have a buttload of posts, but that doesn't mean I know a lot about MAC OS X and the MAC computers.
I certainly appreciate your help with this problem. It worked flawlessly. This is very much like DOS in windows......yuk, just reflecting on the past. Thank you again, sooo much. I now feel much better, what a relief.
Edit: Oh by the way, just answering "Yes" gave me, if I remember correctly, something about forbidden. But doing it the way you described above using the sudo lines worked great and it asked me for my user password, I put it in, then everything was ok, it deleted everything I wanted it to.

I'm moving to college soon, and would appreciate some help with my library.

I am moving to college in just over a week and a half and was needing some help with my iTunes library. Currently, at home, I use iTunes as my main source of music entertainment. I purchase music through the iTues Store and upload older music from CDs onto the library as well. I have made several smart playlists based off of information such as play counts and last played dates. Unfortunately, this is all on a desktop that I will be unable to bring with me to school. So I have recently purchased a laptop that I will be taking with me to school. I have already downloaded iTunes and have activated the laptop to my Apple ID. The desktop currently runs on Windows 7, while the laptop runs on Windows 8. Both are up-to-date with iTunes.
With all of that background information, here comes my question. Is there a way to have the same library on both PCs? I don't just mean the same songs, but rather have the same play counts, last played dates, playlists, etc. on both computers. Is this something that can be accomplished through the cloud or iTunes Match?

Copy the ENTIRE /Music/iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync only with the new computer going forward.
Nothing will be updated on the old computer, but if you are not going to be at home using the desktop is that really relevant?

I would appreciate some help in capturing some VHS tapes into PP-CS6.

Aloha,
Just loaded CS6 and my 1st project is to convert some VHS tapes into HD DVD's. The VHS player I'm using has R/G/B Component video out & HDMI in/out. My PC video card is a Radeon 6750 with 1 x HDMI (in use for my monitor), 1 x DVI-I, and 1 x D-SUB. My mobo, a Gigabyte GA-MA78GN-US2H, has 1x D-SUB, 1 x DVI-D, & 1 x HDMI. I don't believe I can use both HDMI slots simultaneously. I'm not even sure I can use any of the onboard graphica ports while I'm using an external video card.
So my questions are; 1) which available graphic port on the video card will offer me the best VHS tape capture? 2) what are the capture settings (i.e. frame rate & resolution of most VHS tapes either home recorded or professionally recorded) that I should use?

Usually, video ports on a video card or motherboard are out only. You would need a capture card, or external box to get VHS video digitized into your computer.
For VHS tapes, I would recommend getting a Hauppauge HD-PVR available here: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html
It would save you a lot of headaches and make your job much easier.
If you'd like specifics: the HD-PVR has component inputs with optical audio, along with S-video and composite connections.
I've used it to capture many VHS tapes, and never had a problem.
Good luck!

Would appreciate some help - not sure what just happened?

This is my first post to the Forums, and I have only had my phone for a couple of days (I've never had a smartphone before either), so please bear with me if I sound completely ignorant.
I just got my HTC Droid Incredible over the weekend and I have fallen in love with it! I had no problems until just a few minutes ago. I went to answer a call, but accidentally hit the button to end the call. I just hit the "phone" button to get back into the phone dialer where I could call them back. At this point my screen just went black, and eventually brought up a little red triangle with a red exclamation point on the screen. I kept trying to turn it on but nothing would happen, so I took the battery out, put it back in, and turned it back on. It turned back on, but it brought up a screen that had a little picture of a Droid character and it had several menu options (One of them was recovery, can't remember what the other ones were). I kept hitting the volume up and power button and finally the phone turned back on, and now it seems as if everything is fine with it. Does anyone have any idea why it would do that, and what menu option I could have selected? I am afraid I did something that will mess up the phone.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Would appreciate some help concerning Bluetooth...

I have just recently bought a Bluetooth USB for my laptop so I can easily transfer files to and from my BlackBerry and Laptop. My partners Samsung Tocco connected and transfered files fine.
My BlackBerry finds the Laptop's Bluetooth and enter both passkeys on both devices and pair up. As soon as I go to send a file, such as a ringtone or Image, I right click on the file, Send To,Bluetooth, and select the device I want to send to. I get an error message on my Bluetooth Icon in the Tray saying 'Bluetooth - The service does not exist' ???????? I've connected and paired fine with the laptop and it says it doesn't exist??? My BlackBerry doesn't seem to connect to any phone either. I have adjusted options in My BlackBerry Bluetooth Options to be Discoverable and when connect to the laptop mark Trusted - Yes on the laptop Bluetooth.
I rather not use the USB wire for my Blackberry as Bluetooth seemed so much easier, but I guess I was completely wrong. I've been trying this for a few days now and I need your help!
Thank you xxx

Would appreciate some help please?

Sorry if I am posting in the wrong section!
I own the C470 all in one had it two days. A couple of things; my hard drive light flashes a lot is this normal?
It seems very slow, concerned dont know what programs I can uninstall, have uninstalled the games, what else can I do? If there is a problem may need to return to amazon and ask for a replacement, any assistance please, have to say used windows 7 home premium before and could get round it okay
Many thanks Joules

The harddrive light flashing could be normal. Have you done all the windows updates? When you say it is slow, is the harddrive access slow, internet slow, or once a program has started it runs slow?

Hello, I have a class that looks like this:
import extra.*;
public class Bokhylla {
int x;
public Bok[] b?cker = new Bok[x];
public Bokhylla(int antal) {
x = antal;
The problem is that I want x in my array to be set from the constructor, but the code above does not work. It doesn't matter how big "antal" is, when I try to set a reference to an object in position 0 in Bok[] the program complains that it is out of boundary.

Hello, I have a class that looks like this:
import extra.*;
public class Bokhylla {
int x;
public Bok[] b?cker = new Bok[x];
public Bokhylla(int antal) {
x = antal;
}You should move the Bok[] instantiation into the constructor after x is asigned the value of antal.
import extra.*;
public class Bokhylla {
int x;
public Bok[] bicker; //or whatever that is, doesn't show right here
public Bokhylla (int antal) {
      x = antal;
      bicker = new Bok[x];
    //or just use bicker = new Bok[antal]; and forget about x
}None of the objects in the bicker array will be accessible until you instantiate them as well, so you will have to do:
for (int count = 0; count < antal; count++)
   bicker[count] = new Bok();

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
Before you do the above check out the following;
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

I would like some help in determining the proper structure/implementation

I would like some help in determining the proper structure/implementation for the following scenario:
I have ~10 steel rods that have been equipped with a strain gauge. The most I would have is ~30 steel rods.
Each setup has had a 10 point calibration done.
These steel rod/strain gauge setups are assigned a calibration number.
The data would be grouped for each steel rod and identified by the calibration number.
I would like to use that calibration data to determine the Young’s Modulus for each steel rod and store that within the specific rod’s information.
I want the user to be able to add new steel rods dynamically and the Young’s Modulus calculated and stored with it.
There are two different types of rods.
The cross-sectional area of the rod needs to be stored and that value is constant based on the rod type (so there are two different area values).
After a rod’s calibration data is entered the first time, the data should be static so it doesn’t need to be re-entered.
The user would enter the cal#, the 10 point calibration data, and the rod type.
The user will only see the steel rod cal# on the FP.
I am using a queue-based producer/consumer with event structure for the front panel interface. So I’m thinking whenever a rod cal# was added I would call a subvi where the calibration data can be entered and then the Young’s Modulus could be calculated and stored. An option to edit/review existing cal data should be available.
LabVIEW 2010, Win 7.
My initial idea was:
Rod Arr – array of clusters:
Rod Info - cluster:
Calibration number – string
Rod Scale cluster:
mV/V – double array
force – double array
Young’s Modulus – double
Rod type – enum
Cross-sectional area – double
I have not implemented this because I’m not sure how to implement that AND keep the data after it’s been entered. And all of the bundling/unbundling anytime I want to access/edit any rod information can be BD consuming. I thought a lookup table might work. When I looked on the forums for a lookup table I was pointed in the direction of arrays/clusters.
So I have two questions:
What would be the best structure for the steel rod data?
What would be the best data type for the calibration# that the user can edit (enum, ring, ?)?

I would make a couple of small change to your proposed data layout (highlighted in blue):
Rod Arr – array of clusters:
Rod Info - cluster:
Calibration number – string
Array of Rod Scale cluster:
mV/V – double
force – double
Young’s Modulus – double
Rod type – enum
Cross-sectional area – double
For the calibration data, I would have an array of clusters rather than a cluster of arrays. IMHO, this makes it easier to index through the calibration points, and makes it less likely you will ever have a situation where you don't have the same number of mV/V and force points. I'd also move the Young's modulus, type, and area info into the Rod Info cluster.
I prefer to store this type of configuration in the system registry, but that is more complicated and far from universal in the LabVIEW world. A simpler way would be to simply pass the entire array to the "write to binary file" function. If you do this, however, you might want to add a version number, otherwise it will be very difficult to maintain backwards compatibility if you ever need to change the data structure.
As far as the control type, it depends on what the user is entering. If the user is mostly entering calibration numbers already in the system, I would use a (system) combo box. This allows the user to select an existing calibration number from the menu, but also to enter a new calibration number if they need to. If the user will almost always enter new calibration numbers, then I would use a standard string control. Either way, you'll probably want to validate the format of the number the user enters.
