Iernel panic plus extremely enlarged display screen, Please help urgent
I have verified that I had a kernel panic on this Tiger 10.4 Imac. It said to shut it down but that didn't help.
On top of that the magnification on the screen is about as high as it could go and its impossible to navigate/get bearings to even try to work on this.
Until I get the screen thing figured out I'm dead in the water so to speak. Maybe there is an easy way to reset the magnification but it escapes me what it is and I need help with that and the kernel panic.
I have a ton of research to do and I'm farther behind every day.
Please help thanks.
Were you able to figure the cause of the Kernel Panic and find reference to the activity
involving that problem within the Console logs, or the System Profiler> Software> logs?
Both locations would likely have some information, however cryptic & codified it may be.
Some kernel panics are caused by hardware issues; others can be caused by some
conflicts in software. And there are some which could combine both sources, as cause.

Frozen on Start Up Screen - Please Help (Urgent)
I've had my mac Mini for a little over a year now and have not once had a problem with it. When I came home from work yesterday there had been a powercut and naturally my mac mini had switched off. When i tried to turn it back on it made the chime and went into the start up screen (with the mac logo and the little spinning thing) i was waiting half an hour for it to get off this screen but it did not. When i restarteed the computer i had the same problem, i left it on over night to see if it was just going to take time to load but by this morning nothing had changed (same loading screen on moniter).
I Have tried to reset the PMU (or whatever its called) and i still have the same probelm.
Help desperatly needed as the computer has two years worth of school work and writing on it not to mention music and movies than ive made for my uni course!
Many thanks in advance
HenryOK, so it looks like when the mini crashed, it ended up corrupting the drive directory structure - possibly it was in the middle of a write operation when the power failed.
The good news is that rarely does this cause a hardware fault, so there is like as not, nothing wrong with the system that can't be fixed.
However, the bad news is that without a disk recovery utility, such as DiskWarrior or Tech Tools Pro, neither of which are absolutely certain to work) the only way to get the system back under normal control is to reformat the drive, since this will rewrite the directory structure. And of course reformatting will loose your data. In this situation, simply trying to reinstall MacOS won't work since the system has errors on the drive that will prevent data being safely written. Also, any and all disk write activity risks overwriting your data since the faults generally will indicate that MacOS won't know for sure where your data is, thus make it possible to write over the top of it.
Since iTunes won't allow you to download again, and it appears you don't have any backups, I think you have few options to consider:
1 - buy a copy of DiskWarrior or Tech Tools Pro and try and recover the drive that way. The disadvantages are that this will cost you some money, and there's no certainty it will work, but if it does, the advantage is that you could restore your drive (and thus system) to full operational status with little effort.
2 - get hold of (meaning buy or borrow from someone else) an external firewire drive onto which you can install a copy of MacOS with which to boot your system. Once booted, then use the drive to copy off your files, then once backed up, do an Erase and Install using your original install disk to reformat the hard drive and put back a working copy of MacOS. Once done, you can then copy your files back from the external hard drive.
3 - if you have another Mac available to you, connect your mini to it with a firewire cable and start it up holding the T key to put it into firewire target disk mode. It should then appear on the other Mac's desktop as an external drive and thus allow you to access your files and back them up.
Beware however that if the directory structure on the mini's hard drive is messed up, there is no certainty that you can recover all your data since the data may not be entirely intact, or indeed, in the locations the directory structure tells the system it is in. As a result, the best option from the 3 above is the first - to try and repair the directory using one of those two utilities. -

I cannot open my ipad 2 after update to ios 7..only the apple logo keeps on displaying..please help..
Power-cycling or connecting to iTunes didn't fix the issue. However the iPad did restart, trying to install the update but it didn't complete and received a error once again. And now the iPad is stuck on the update screen with the progression bar beneath the apple.
The error reads, "The iPad could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)." -
im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!
I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck. -

When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!
The Arrangement tab only appears in System Preferences Displays pane if a second display is recognized by the system (the OS). So it seems like your MacBook is not seeing the TV as being connected.
Describe the video connection between MacBook and TV... What type of video out port does your MacBook model have? How is it converted to the type of port used on the TV? -

Choppy video on big screens PLEASE HELP!
I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall. Is there a way to remedy this? Please help!
Drew.I think I figured out the issue. Thanks for all your advice. I'll repost if I have any other problems.

Subject: Choppy video on big screens PLEASE HELP!
Drew,
How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
Good luck,
Hunt

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 4g turned off and when i try to turn it on it says its not charged. so i charge it and the apple screen comes up but stays frozen like that for a really long time, and then it just goes back to the "needs to be charged" screen. please help!
- First try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Next connect to a computer and restore the iPod if theiPod appears in iTunes.
- Next see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

im running XP with all firewalls and pop up blockers off. Ive tried using chrome, firefox, and IE. no download starts and im redirected to the thank you screen, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive read all related articles, aswers and solutions but cant seem to get tunes to download?
Ive tried from my PC, and ive tried from another which runs Vista. Both pc's were tried using firefox, IE and chrome,and both had firewalls off and pop-ups allowed completely (I basically turned off all security). I checked for 3rd party software which could also cause "blocks" but all 3rd party software were eliminated. I even tried stopping and restarting windows installer in "computer management; services, services". Still no luck..... This is the first time that ive struggled downloading Itunes. The reason im trying to download itunes is because im attempting to restore my iphone 4.....

i brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Please Help Urgently to refresh the report on the change in data
We want to refresh report at runtime for the Drill Down report if any user changes the Data. We changes the data from the form which is called from the report and we want to this effect on the report on the prompt.
Is there any method to close the report while it is in the queue of Background Engine? Can we refresh the report ? Please help urgently.
Thanks in Advance.Pritesh,
Reports goes out to the database and fetches the data (not a snapshot) and returns the information, formats it and displays it. The only way to refresh, is to rerun the report.
If your are running from the server, you need to make sure you are not fetching from cache (you determine this from destype and set the life of the cache in the servername.ora file).
I am unaware of any way to programatically close the report once displayed. The user must take action to close the report (unless you call the operating system to kill the display). When you rerun the report from Oracle Forms, you will get fresh data.
