In the name of all that's holy

I have a 12" PowerBook G4.
It had been behaving erratically, starting with not being able to start it up (hangs at apple both with and without the spinner).
So, I tried to back-up my data using target disk mode, but it repeatedly locked up when trying to transfer data. I figured there was a disk problem.
I ran both Disk Utility (from a Tiger installation disk) and DiskWarrior (3.0.3), neither of which would run because of disk malfunction.
Finally, I tried zeroing the drive and reinstalling Tiger (given up on my data at this point) in addition to reseting the SMC, the nvram, and the pram -- and lo and behold -- I'm still stuck at the grey apple (no spinner).
I unfortunately do not have a copy of the Apple Hardware Check, but I'm curious if anyone knows of anything else I might try in the meantime.
thank you!

an update:
so, TechTool Pro (4.5.1) is running a surface scan. all other hardware tests have passed.
already though, with the surface scan, 45 bad blocks have been found out of about 45,000 scanned. also, it's going absurdly slow. it's taken about 25 minutes to scan the 45,000 blocks (out of 150,000,000).
does this mean something to someone?

Why in the name of all that is holy is Apple dropping iDisk?

I rely upon my iDisk to work on docs at home and at work from different machines. I do not have an iOS 5 device. iCloud support tells me that I need to open it from an iOS device before I can see it from a mac.
What am I missing. iDisk is a seamless and very useful tool. This will drive me away fromi0S devices. I already turned in my old iPhone due to it's ATT handicap. I am so bloody irritated with this iCloud/iDisk FAIL that I will refuse to purchase another iOS device.
Buh-bye

I doubt you care about my needs or feelings either. We don't know each other. Why should we? I come here to answer people's technical questions - not provide therapy or a shoulder to cry on.
My internet connection is plenty fast enough thanks. I never said anything about speed of internet.
You clearly don't understand how iDisk syncs files, and how its (vastly superior) competitors do - so you are in no position to say who the reaps benefits of which service.
If you are happy waiting around while iDisk re-uploads and then downloads the whole of a file, every single time you only change one tiny bit of it, then you obviously have more time to waste than me. If you're happy in the knowledge that iDisk does not maintain any backups of the files you upload to it, and has no mechanism for reverting back to a older version in the event of a upload error, or perhaps a mistake you made in the file then you obviously don't value your data as much as me.
iDisk's competitors offer such things and much more, making them faster, more reliable and trustworthy in the process. If iDisk was so great, why would Apple discontinue it? And why did Apple try to buy one of iDisk's main competitors?
Still, if you're content with sub-standard services, again, its a free world and your choice. Just don't say nobody alerted you to the existence of better services.
Oh, and by the way... not buying another iOS device changes nothing for you. You'll still need to find an alternative service to sync your files between your home and work computers - iOS devices have nothing to do with that process.

HT5622 Why, in the name of all that is good and Holy, can I not make my iCloud email address my Apple ID?

I want to ELIMINATE Google. From my life. I don't need their mail, I don't need their maps. I don't need their productivity software, I don't need their apps. I don't want them crawling all my data when I search the web. I don't need their browser, I don't need their OS. I don't need their videos, I don't need their chat.
But guess what? My old Google email is my iCloud ID! F me right? So now I would have to reactivate my old Yahoo! account (imposible?) or create a new one (NOT) or add a new email to my personal website service (since my email for that is already another Apple/iCloud ID) because I can't use my iCloud.com email address as my Apple/iCloud ID. WHAT GIVES? Is it some sort of security thing? It doesn't make any sense! Has anyone else had this problem? Is this the reality, or am I missing something?

Hi Powers,
Yeah, sorry about that.... Here's the scoop:
If, when you go to Manage your Apple ID, the Apple ID and the Primary email address
are on two separate lines, then you are good to go - just change the email address (that is how my old one is).
However, if it has the Apple ID/Primary email address both in the same box, you will have to change it. So, if that is the case, your best bet is to get a new email address from whatever service you wish, then Edit your old Google Apple ID to the new email address. That will change the corresponding iCloud address at the same time, so you are basically only "updating" your Apple ID with a new valid email address.
Sorry about any confusion. My primary Apple ID is my @me.com one, and my other one is super old, so that is why it probably has the Primary email address as a separate field from the Apple ID.
Hope that this all makes sense. Post back if you have questions!
Cheers,
GB
P.S., I hope you don't want to kill me now....

For the love of all that is holy, will someone please answer this

I have a 1GB ipod i bought a year ago, the software that came with it was itunes and it worked good. I could see a list of all the songs on my ipod in itunes when i connected it. then:
My niece got an ipod shuffle for christmas and she wanted me to charge it and put songs on it for her. The itunes told me i needed a newer version so i downloaded that and installed it. Now, when i plug in MY ipod, i cannot see my songs. also, it erases my ipod when i plug it in and puts her songs on it. then, when i put my songs back in it and later plug in hers, it erases her songs and fills it with mine. It is driving me crazy. can someone please help me figure out why i cannot see my songs on my ipod but i CAN see the songs on hers? And how do i stop this infernal software from erasing the ipods? PLEASE EMAIL YOUR ANSWER TO ME [email protected] I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO VIEW YOUR ANSWER

Yes, that is where to look. However, I don't have a method for you.
But it is possible to insert a graphic into a PS document (in this case a menu) that is larger than the image/layer size. I just put such a graphic (a simple rectangle 15 x 10,000 pixels). You only see the layer size (1920x1080), but if I drag that graphic to a 500x10,500 document, you can see that the whole graphic was in a layer in the EN menu.
I don't know how to find the size of a graphic element that is larger than the PS document nor how to see whether a graphic extends beyond the document.
Do you recall adding something that might have been large? Let's see if someone can tell us. (Or you can ask in the PS forum) If nothing else, I would reconstruct the menu and pay careful attention to what I am adding.
I have not experienced this error and cannot guarantee that this is your problem.

This is a user to user forum. you are not addressing Apple. You can give Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
BTW: You do not speak for "all users apple". I for one have a LONG list of feature I would rather see than a flash for the iPad.

Is there a Button menu option that will allow one view the names of all the buttons already created?

Is there a Button menu option in InDesign CS 5.5 that will allow one view the names of all the buttons already created?

Thanks for your prompt feedback! However, this option does not work for me -- and I'm not sure exactly why.
Originally, when I tried your suggestion, I got the unsatisfactory result illustrated in the following help request: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/758172
Now I am in the process of testing several new add-ons to fix this problem, and I am getting a very different (and even more unsatisfying) result illustrated in the attached image -- so I realize the problem may now be compounded by one or more of the new add-ons.
(See the attached image that illustrates what happens now when I click on the MyDocs URL after is has been added to my Bookmarks tree.)
UPDATE: I'm going to try the LocalLinks add-on to see if this will help me open local links using my FireFox bookmarks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/locallink/
Will let you know if it works....

Getting the names of all classes

Hi,
I want to write a Java editor with code completion. Is there a way to get all the class names available in the installed Java run time environment.
Does the reflection API provides a way to do it.
Thanks a lot,
Chamal.

You can also look at JPDA (should be documented as part of your JDK under 'Tool Support' of the documents index), and the JDI api VirtualMachine.allClasses() method.
That will return the name of all loaded classes, which will not be the same as all classes on the path, as it includes any dynamically created classes, and excludes any classes on the path not loaded.

Find the names of all open forms from inside a PJC

Hi,
is it possible to find the names of all open forms from inside a PJC (pluggable java bean)?
I have tried the window bean but it retrieves currently open windows and reads the title of each window, but what i need is to find the form name not the window title.
oracle forms version: 10g
Thank you
Edited by: user542352 on Jun 26, 2009 1:07 AM

You don't need to know names of all open forms to close them.
Try to do someting like this :
When you need to close all forms, set some global variable flag and call exit_form
in WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED of each form check your global flag and if set, also exit_form.

Get the names of all tables

First I want to tell you: I'm a amateur concerning Java Programming.
My task is to write a java program - using JCO -, which retrieves the names of all tables (a user can access).
Can anybody help me, please?

i can't help you because i don't know anything about JCO!
It's simply funny and i'm happy to see a "known face" here!

Network : How can I get the name of all computers in the lan ?

Hi.
Network : How can I get the name or the IP of all computers in the lan ?

Easiest way to find all IPs would be to scan the network. Ping every possible IP in the network and all IPs that replied to the ping exist.
Since I don't know how to do a ping in Java, I would scan for some Ports used by OS Services.
Since I don't know which ports are used by windows, I think you should look for a ping class (or library).
Scanning all ports for every IP in a class C network shouldn't take too long. And after finding one port you don't have to try the other ports for that IP, since it has to be online ;)
