Its looking like on big nightmare..

So I just bought a used older ibook from 2000, and the thing seems to be this big problem now. it did not come with any softwear, so i wanted to reformat the machine using my tiger cd's but the thing did not come with a DVD drive so i went and bought a usb external one, when I was closing down the comp. I hit log off option, now I did not know that the guy who sold me the comp had a log in password, and now I cant get in contact with the guy who sold me the comp, and I cant get past the log in screen...is there any way to still reformat? what can I do to get this comp up and running. A also had to buy more memory b/c it only came with 128 and tiger wont support....i need help .
thank you

Hello! Sorry for your troubles. Assumming that the OS installation will be legal under your license I would suggest you try the following. First check the Apple site and determine if the computer needs any firmware updates BEFORE you attempt any install. Then I would suggest you using another Mac with a dvd drive and boot into firewire target disk mode using the other Mac as the host and the iBook as the target and then do your intsall. Tom

Looks like the big issue in this update is with mail

with Gmail being the bigger of the problems, but Im also having slight issues with yahoo....
Problems arent unexpected. and of course I submitted it to Apple, but I really hope its a quick fix, I rely on my gmail for many things.

its spotty, but definitely getting reported more and more.
Its usable, just have to send a few times, and people are getting duplicate emails from google apparently.
Who knows. Wasnt like this before and Im sure there will be a fix and it will clear up nicely, just hope not to wait too long for the fix, whether it be update or someone figures it out.
Tried resetting my account with same results

Hi, i am on version 4.2 but cant understand how to ensure all my music is retained on my iphone as its looks like it will be not saved when i upgrade and its all on my phone -help

Hello .
I am on version 4.2 and looking to update however my phone contains all my music and when i go to upgrade it says my songs will not be saved , any help please?

There are some third party apps that claim to be able to copy music
from iPhone to computer - I do not use any so cannot comment on
their worth. Google may provide some assistance, but read reviews
carefully before trusting your only copy of any data to such programs.
iPhone is not meant to be a sole repository of any data. You should
regularly sync either with a computer using iTunes and other appropriate
programs for contacts, pictures, media etc. or via iCloud to protect your data.

iTunes match: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2588
How did the music get onto your iPhone? If it was all downloaded from iTunes,
depending on your location, you should be able to download again after update.
See if that is offered in your location before counting on being able to redownload.

This is what its look like....

You've now created two different this morning - and I (for one) don't undertsand either of them.
What are you trying to do and why? What problem are you having?

How to design List of icons as netbean's palette looks like

Hi All ...
I am new to swing, and I started develop a GUI using it.
I and using netbeans IDE(but codes the GUI manually), and I have seen that in the netbeans palette, containg swing widgets, is design some kind of combox which contain a List of icons(of the widgets type), so when clicking on the arrow the list of icons displayed
Is it as how I described it(Combobox with List...) ? If so how can I do such a thing?
Thanks for the help..
YyYo

Yes... I have already doning it for the last month,l I familiar for GUI design(Gtk, Winforms), but new to swing.
I don't think is a combobox(I said its look like), its more like expander container in Gtk.
I will appreciate if you could look it in the netbeans IDE

I got a message saying this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available but when i try to close it it didnt gone looks like it got hang

i got a message saying this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available but when i try to close it it didnt close its looks like get hang up

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Screen suddenly looks like a colorful barcode

I was switching between apps and my screen suddenly went all-white with a lot of very thin vertical lines, so it looked like a big colorful barcode. I pressed command-option-eject to put the computer to sleep, and that worked. Then I woke it up and the screen looked fine.
This is a brand new machine, so if there's a real problem lurking, someone please tell me so I can get it serviced before the warranty ends. Thanks.

Hey.
I've been having exactly the same problem since two weeks.
Let me explain.
While going to school, i had to finis a work in the bus, so i power on my laptop, and immediatly turn into a nice colorful barcode. I was very because i thought i had broken my laptop, while hanging it in my laptop case.
So i close it immediatly, and re-opened it. The barcode disappeared.
Okay, so at school no problem at all.
I got back home, no problem at all either. But in the night, while watching a movie in my bed, my laptop, which were 1 meter far away from me, turned into the barcode, without touching it at all.
GREAT!
i closed it down, reopened it, but the barcode didn't get out as well the first time in the bus.
i am getting very scared.
after 15mins of trying to open it, close it, the barcode still belong on the screen.
i fall asleep.
And the problem is still there.
I went to the Apple reseller, where i bought my Macbook Pro unibody 15" late 2008. And showed him.
He told me that the screen is broken, or maybe the gaphic cards.
But my laptop works perfectly when plug into my Apple Cinema Display. I am using dual link dvi, and works perfectly.
But something strange, about my unibody, is that, the day i bought it (nearly 18months ago), i noticed that the headphone jack hole were very loose, so loose that if i just touch my headphone, it will unplugged and play sound on the built-in speakers.
So I brought in the two weeks after my purchase, as this became very very annoying to use. We also noticed on this day, that the whole screen part were shifted something like one millimeter all along my laptop. Really strange.
The guy tested the macbook. And at least, he told me something like "Well your macbook works perfectly, maybe they were a problem while mounting your laptop, but as it works perfectly (hardware and software), no need to send it to Apple
Warranty Service".
Great.
But now, it's seems that there is to much problem and issues ont my laptop.
I remember having many problems with it.
-in the firth month of use, my macbook pro didn't go well into sleep mode (like many people in this forum), so sometimes i found my laptop on my desk, getting warmer and warmer, while being in sleep mode.
-really nice video glitch while plugging my macbook on my apple cinéma display 30", video getting black/vertical
-many firmware problem (like backlight keyboard in my Xp Boot Camp partition, with the superdrive)
-the headphone jack issues, wich is REALLY annoying, i found a "cheap" solution, i bought a behringer audio card (19euros)
-and now the screen issue, which cannot let me use my laptop as a portable computer. Do I have to bring my own screen everywhere i go?
I can't imagine i bought this computer 2200 euros.

Looks like Thunderbolt may see Sense 3.0...

I was researching for any new updates dealing with the Thunderbolt and to my surprise there appears to be a new build of Android hitting the seen, it appears that HTC hasn't gave up on TB users because there is a build of 1.01.1520.0 MR4 Leak that comes with Gingerbread v2.3.6 and Sense 3.0 and so far positive responses has been report.
So to all TB users that was worried if we would see Sense 3.0 on our wonderful device, hang tight because its looks like it may hit out door step soon hopefully.. I know its not ICS but still a positive change because I perfer the look of Sense 3.0 myself.
Thought I would share my finding...

...the update may not be for us...this is from the Android Forums:
"i wouldnt get my hopes up for this to be a vzw OTA. the full ruu is in footballs folder,and is titled "OpenMobile_US" and not "VERIZON_WWE" like every other RUU weve had.
my guess is that the TB is headed to other networks. the radios may work,but may not be optimized for vzw/lte"
oh well...

Advance warning - Mail worked fine.
I had fits with the last link I posted. At first it worked fine, then all of a sudden, it quit working. I now have iCloud - iCal syncing, but iCal is read only. Not a real big deal since you can log onto iCloud using Safari and post a new event.
I finally gave up on Address Book because it kept creating multiple contacts, which if you tried to merge or delete the multiple contacts, the contacts were deleted. It also worked at first and then stopped working as it should.

Best way to make a logo that doesn't look like crap on big screens/phones?

I am working on creating a simple text logo that fits in a 110x300 pixel space for a website. The thing is, at this small resolution, it looks pretty crappy using Photoshop. So, I tried Illustrator because I believe you can save vectors with it (I'm new to all this). From what I know, vectors don't lose quality when zoomed in (or on big screens). However, I have no clue what I'm doing. I tried to "save for web" a logo as a png 24, and it still looks like crap. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just not possible to save a high quality image at that size?

So, there is no way to save a vector image for a website?
SVG. Flash. HTML5 canvas objects (JavaScript).
That was what SVG was really made for, but it never found widespread use.
That's a pretty broad-based (and misleading) dismissal.
Use of SVG is increasing, not declining, and practically all current browsers now support it. So with such a statement, you would need to quantify "widespread". Of course SVG (like Flash and canvas) is and probably always will be less common than raster formats, but that's always been true of vector-based graphics in general, even in print. Less "widespread" use of something superior is an advantage to those who employ it. Sites which employ it effectively can be more engaging and dynamic than the far more "widespread" ones which don't. That's the whole point.
Fonts are also vector-based graphics and are certainly pretty "widespread" in use on the web. (Consider the potential of this in the light of things like font embedding and GoogleFonts.)
From what I know, vectors don't lose quality when zoomed in (or on big screens).
Stallone, your question is really more a matter of the platforms / browsers you are targeting. You have to be aware of what kind of zooming you are talking about and what is happening on what you're referring to as "big screens."
For example, you can easily launch Inkscape, create an SVG graphic consisting entirely of vector paths, and include it in a static web page. It will be displayed and rasterized on-the-fly by the local machine, as vector graphics are intended to do. But now, who or what is going to "zoom" it? Are you talking about mere screen "magnification" by the sight impaired in which the whole page is zoomed? Are you talking about pinch zooming on mobile devices in which the whole page is zoomed? Are you talking about projecting on the conference room screen in which nothing is actually zoomed (re-rasterized) at all?
Everything that anybody views on a computer monitor is a raster image, because the monitor itself is a raster imaging device. That's even true of vector paths you draw and view in programs like Illustrator. Vector-based graphics get re-rasterized on the fly--so long as the system in which they are being printed/viewed is capable of supporting that. The question boils down to when the rasterization occurs and what is doing the zooming.
Historically, web browsers don't do that. The "intelligence" (programming) involved in rasterizing vector paths on the fly has to be effectively "embedded" in the graphic or in an add-on program (browser plug in) which performs the re-rasterization locally on the viewer's machine. That's why Flash requires a plug-in and SVG has to be viewed in a browser that understands the XML upon which it's based (which most current browsers nowadays do) and HTML5 Canvas has to viewed in browsers which can run its JavaScript-like programming (which is still developing).
All this is constantly changing as mobile devices and platforms and ebooks proliferate, and all this is why designing for the web always entails some amount of experimentation on the platform(s) for which you are developing.
It's a big subject; not something you can get a crash course on in a forum like this.

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited. In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items. I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible. I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected. Hope this helps!

Error popup im not sure if its to do with firefox , a box appears with a looks like a film icon with several dots in the bottom

i have a persitant error popup whilst on my computer , it looks like a film icon and has several dots in the bottom of it , i have tried to investigate but come up with no solution , when i use firefox to clean my comp there is lots of mgbites for this error message , so i have taken google of and that seems to have stopped the error message in the ccleaner but it still keeps popping up , can anyone solve this for me

First, let me thank you again for your time and attention to my inquiry. I do wish Firefox and the Mozilla community well -- and I would agree that not nearly everyone who has downloaded version 4 has complained.
OTOH, I don't know what your multiplier is -- that is, how many downloaders on average actually having some kind of problem it takes for one of them/us to find it worth her/his time and trouble to input complaints this way. And thousands of messages does also still add up to quite a number of different problems. And my PC is old enough that it is perhaps more susceptible to problems and limitations.
So I have downloaded version 4 -- but I'm not planning to install it immediately . . . not until I have the time and patience accumulated to handle installation and its problems, whether they're teething problems or teasing problems or absolute lockdown/drag-out fights.

In the tracing drop down menu, how come the custom is greyed out and can't be selected? It looks like its disabled!!

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
