Internal HD dies, reinstall OS, now not showing up at all

My internal HD stopped booting but was showing up in Disk Utility. I tried to fix the problems and eventually got a message that the disk was fine. It still would not boot. I used the 10.4 OS DVD to do an archive and restore which after working all night left me with a blank screen with a spinning beachball. Now the internal HD doesn't show in Disk Utility at all! It doesn't show up in Terminal with df either. Help!

I hope you backed up before this happened.
Okay solution to get info back.
Go to ebay and get one of the laptop hd to desktop hd connectors about $6-12 or a USB/FIREWIRE ($25 max) external enclosure for 2.5" drives as then you can install a new drive and still try to access it via USB/FIREWIRE
This will work if you have a desktop Win or Apple and then you can use a descent software to access it.
If not then send it to the manufacturer and then can make a backup for you or take the disc platter looking like a dvd / cd and place it in a new working device so you can get access as likely the motor died on the hd or the circuit board/firmware is bust but the disc platter might be in tackt.
Good Q? does the drive spin up ?
I have seen that a good format "erase can get life out of it " but it does not help for info/files.
PS: if you have tiger do not use panther disk utility as there is different thingy's they use and this does screw up a drive but nothing a erase/format can not fix.

From the article which you posted your question from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain. Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
Wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Now try to configure the AirPort again. If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

Why is my website not showing up AT ALL in Google?

I uploaded my website at the beginning of this week and it's working OK, but not showing up at all in Google. It is not so much an SEO question, because even if I google the exact website, it still doesn't show.
I have no idea what I did wrong, but I assume it's a meta data issue. What should I have filled out in the HTML for <head> box? It's blank now.
Thanks!!!

You didn't do anything wrong most likely. It takes time to get indexed. Could be months depending on how your site is optimized, your content and traffic you generate to it.

Calculate result as average in the report not showing average for all

Hello,
I have a calculated key figure in the query where its result should show average. I have made a setting for this calculated key figure as:
1. Calculations tab: Calculate result as "average" and calculate single value as "nothing defined"
2. Aggreagation tab: exception aggregation: Total and reference char: []
Now coming to report, BEX it showing correct average for all cells but when i run it in portal few values it is showing correct average but for few it is showing as blank. I exported this to excel then cell shows blank but cell has some values in the custom format and display values when i change the format to general from "format cells" option.
Please help me in resolving the issue- why portal not showing value for all.
Thanks,
Vijaya

SAP note solved the purpose.

TS1717 Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?

Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?
I updated iTunes and the installation failed and now I cannot open iTunes. The fix is to unistall and reinstall iTunes but I don't want to have to redo all of my playlists and things.

Do not worry all your Data including Playlist, etc. will remain as it is.
Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.
Note : If you are unable to Remove Apple Mobile Device Support you can skip that.

HT4759 change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

Are you saying that changes to your contacts are not syncing to your other devices? If so, you need to make sure that the contacts you are changing belong to the iCloud account. To do this, open the contacts app on your device and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account.

Accordion not showing up at all in IE6

I have a standard accordion set up at
www.taradeal.com/pow.html
and it works fine in Safari and Firefox, but does not show up at
all in IE6 (the initial load of the text bits flashes up, but the
Spry re-work of the code seem to fail). I'm using Spry 1.6.1,
freshly updated for DW CS3.
The accordion display a standard RSS XML.
Here's some code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
http-equiv="Content-Type">

...some more simple display, and a Google tracker
</body>
</html>
Thanks for any pointers on what's wrong.

Well, it seems to be a bug in the handling of the XML file
contents. I fixed it by changing the code in SpryData.js to force a
"manual" parse of the XML code. Not a good solution, but I don't
know the codebase well enough to find the root of the problem. I
know that the firstChild.nodeValue is "Object required" but I can't
figure out who sets that and why. Maybe no ActiveX object?
http://www.taradeal.com/pow2.html
still broken in IE6 if you want to check it
http://www.taradeal.com/pow.html
uses changed code and dynamic-data accordion works
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.xhRequestProcessor =
function(xhRequest)
// XMLDataSet uses the responseXML from the xhRequest
var resp = xhRequest.responseXML;
var manualParseRequired = true; /*** DC for IE6 **/

Some Devices are not showing up at all in the Discovery reports

Hi all,
The first time I ran the CS device discovery I got 50 reachable devices. I scheduled the Device Discovery to be run every week. I added more subnets to the discovery but unfortunately the last discovery shows only 31 devices from the first discovered devices (50). I checked the DCR and there is only 44 devices out of the 50!
My question is:
Should not the scheduled Device Discovery discovers all devices -the previously discovered ones and the new ones-?
Why the rest of the devices are not showing up at all in the discovery reports (neither reachable nor unreachable) although all of them are pingable and responding to the snmpwalk tool from the CWLMS server.
Your kindly respond is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I ran the discovery again with the same settings after enabling debugging and I checked the following log files:
1. in the ngdiscovery.log I found a lot of errors all about Duplicate IpAddress example:
ERROR [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-06 addNewDevice] : Duplicate IpAddress (127.0.0.51) found in addNewDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.29 , id1 = 127.0.0.51*F1COR.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.106 , id2 = 127.0.0.51*LCD.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283

2. in the CSDiscovery.log:
Error while changing the permission of the file C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\csdiscovery\1348\DiscoveryStatusObj
I checked the file and the casusers has a Modify permission
My Question is:
1. what is the meaning of those output exactly?
2. If CWLMS found duplicatedd IP address how it works in terms of (ignoring, updating existing devices, Adding the new devices, ... etc)
Many thanks for your help.

Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

The default wallpapers are not showing up. All I see is a black screen. How do I get back default wallpapers?

Hello,
I have a problem with my iPhone. The default wallpapers are not showing up. All I see is a black screen. Can someone tell me what has to be done?

Go to the Home screen with one press of the home button. Then double press the Home button. When the Dock raises, tap and hold one of the app icons untill they all start jiggling and a red X appears. Tap the red X on the video app to quit the app.

When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

It's a bit hit and miss, Walter. Sometimes the box to enter text shows up straight away in the inspector under "text". Other times, although you click "text" in the inspector, there's nowhere to actually write anything.... then what you have to do is move the trackbar over the Title Box until you see the text boxes in the main Viewer. In the Viewer, double click a text box.... you can enter text there, but it's a bit flaky, but when you've clicked in it, you'll find that under "Text" in the inspector, the box for inputting text has magically appeared!
I'm not sure if anyone else has this trouble, but it is a bit of a pain!

I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is flashing and so it is not being recognized. I have been on the computer and gone to airport utility and it is simply not showing up at all. What can I do?

What should I do?

Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.
