Just Tool Bar and nothing else
Help! Burning DVD's last night. Tried dual layer but didn't work so split movie in FCP into two sections. Now IDvd only shows up on the tool bar and my screen saver is on the screen. When I try to open a project in this I get the spinning color wheel of death. Have to get these burned to a client so any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Disconnect all third party USB and FW devices or anything that did not ship with your mac when it was first purchased from apple.
3. Check all connections and make sure they are plugged in and secure.
4. Give us more info on your mac (hardware wise) other than it's a G4. Which Mac is it? Tell us exactly how much available hard drive space is remaining on the boot volume (your main start up HDD) and what OS is running, and which version of QT?
5. What software do you have running on this mac? I can see you have FCP and DVDSP. Tell us which version of FCP you are running and the same for iDvd.
6. Do you have any Non-standard QT Plug ins on this mac (ie, Perian)?
7. Are you running from a server by any chance or is this mac communicating with a server of any type which might slow it down and cause the app to stall?
8. Go ahead and power up your computer. Assuming it starts normally, run apple's disc utility and repair permissions from apple's disc utility within the applications folder. You also need to dispose of the plist for iDvd immediately after repairing permissions. So go into your Home holder (the one that looks like a house) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist Drag and drop this preference to the trash. Now open system preferences and go to accounts > login items and take note of which items login on their own. If you see third party software launching on its own, then we need to disable these items for the time being.
9. Restart your mac now. If it doesn't start normally and simply freezes; then come on back for more troubleshooting and we'll walk you through how to boot from the software CD that shipped with this computer so we can repair the HDD directly from the software CD. When you get this far, come on back and tell us what happened to this point.

Tool bar, and everything else is gone, how do i get it back?
When i open illustrator the tool bar and everything else is gone, only the top menu is still there, i tried to activate tool bar under window menu, but that option is also gone.
I tried to use tab key, but it does not work either.
Anyone knows what to do?Now what I told you is so, this is what is causing this and you will either make the effort to understand or you will not solve the problem.
You did try to make an alias and you goofed up, that is correct you made mistake, this is user error.
That is the first thing you have to accept if you cannot so be it, but I will never try to assist you again.
This is the problem I can easily reproduce as I know what you did.
Here take a look, does this look familiar.
Does the icon on the left look familiar?
That is the application outside of the Adobe Illustrator folder.
That's correct you moved it either on purpose or by mistake outside of the folder
and that is why the two of you do not have menu items and tools.
Now the way to fix this is the way I wrote before and this is user error.
And I have met other users on the forum who could not admit they made a mistake before as well.
I am writing this actually for users who really want help and have no problems admitting the did something in error.
I have nothing else to say about this -
I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?
- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -

i need help downloading firefox. after clicking download and run from the box that appears the box just dissapears and nothing else comes up
SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

so no banner across the desktop page .. nothing but white space and the search bar with the fox ..... all my bookmarks are there ... very strange .... should uninstall my older versions of FF and then download ??? Help !!! and thanks !!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Slideshow just the pictures and nothing else.
I would like to use the Slideshow go through a group of pictures so I am find the ones I like. Not just the ones I have in one file. I may want to be able to look through the pictures of a location or of an certain individual. Now it shows things that I don't want to see and it makes it hard to see the slides. I don't want the slide bouncing all over the screen. I don't want the words "THIS IS A COPY" if front of the picture. I don't want to see the title constantly I just want to see the pictures. I only want to see them for a few seconds. I like the music but some times I want to turn it off.
Then select the "Classic" theme and disable "Show titles" in the slideshow settings for all slides.
Are you using an instant slideshow from an album, or have you created a slideshow project using "File > New Slideshow"?
If you create a slideshow project, you can add all slides you are having in your iPhoto Library to the slideshow. -
Sometimes firefox opens a blank page, just a frame and nothing else
This is on a brand new laptop, I just installed firefox 25, I have not installed any add-ins yet
nor have I installed any software except windows updates, and just activated the Symantec trial. (this issue happens on my old system as well which has AVG Antivirus 2013) I had 2 firefox instances open, one with 3 tabs open, one with 2 tabs open, I then started a 3rd instance of firefox which remains blank. I have not changed any default configuration yet but did install the flash plugin when requested at a website, I actually downloaded the plugin independently but did not feel like closing the browser do it installed off the prompt on the website.
The tabs are boston globe epaper, aol weather, a yahoo video new item I watched, in the 2nd instance, news.msn.com and the add-ons manager. Other then this my only activity was viewing some pictures on google images and Reading some news stories on msn. This is Windows 7 pro 64 bit on a thinkpad w530. My old system was a Toshiba portege with windows 7 pro 32 bit. The above is literally all I have done on this laptop as I started using it this morning, applied the windows updates last night. I was hoping to get away from this behavior on a new laptop as I have been plagued by this issue on my old laptop but never bothered to report it as the old laptop had many years usage.
The blank instance does not respond to a right-click and says mozilla firefox start page in the upper left corner border. I have not changed the default start page, In task manager, it shows as Mozilla Firefox start page. I just tried another instance and it opened correctly which is behavior similar to my old system, the blank page is intermittent and typically won't occur twice in a row. Processes tab shows 390meg memory use by firefox, 9.5 k by plugin container, 7meg and 67meg by flash plugins.
Silverlight 4 and adobe acrobat 10 where already installed on this system and I see they need plugin updates, I will update these but it did not seem to matter on my old systemWell since you asked, On my old system which I am still using, I experience
the blank frame on a regular basis but usually only when I have about 20 or more instances open with more then 850 meg of memory in use by firefox 25.0.1, also it tends to crash when I approach a gig in memory usage. I never complained about that since that system is an older dual core that was in place upgraded from vista to win7 pro so it is a special case that may not be good for evaluation. I plan to move to the Lenovo as soon as I am confident it is stable then I will rack it out with similar usage
and report any meaningful information.
Thanks for asking. -
My screen is grey, the apple icon appears, the circle continues to spin. I have shut done everything and restarted with the same result. Any suggestions?
The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. If your startup volume is encrypted with FileVault, you’ll have to unlock it in Disk Utility before you can do anything with it.

Everytime i go on Itunes it tells me i have to restore my ipod but everytime i do, it just tells me to do it again? When i try and use my ipod it just has a connect to itunes sign and nothing else, it wont work at all?
I updated itunes and everything but nothings working and i just can't figure it out?
Everytime i restore the stupid thing, it never pops up in my itunes again like its supposed to!Loop
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -
Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!
Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.

Dear Apple, why is not possible in the year 2014...sync to my iPhone just content I want to separety, without the whole sync procedur(backinup,syncing whole purchased things and stuff like that) When I want to have in my phone for example just 3 new songs ..I dont wanna wait 10minutes because of whole synchronization!!! I want add to my iPhone just these 3 songs thats it! Would be perfect, If you will make possible to sync just parts like MUSIC, Apps, Fotos, separetly and not alltime together...it s****!
Ok.
I have Windows OS and iTunes for PC, but the problem is not in my PC, but in synchronization. Your synchronization take minute or two, you have thunderbolt lightning cable??? If is it by you really so quick than ok but by me is it with sync really slow and I have still powerhouse notebook.
I dont know how is it possible that your sync is so quick, but my iPhone starts transfering purchased aplications and all content to the PC, instead of downloading it PC itself without iPhone from iStore. So there is what happend when I am conecting my iPhone.
When it find my iPhone on the first try, it starts makeing backup, than transfering photos, aplication, some info from Safari and to the end also the MUSIC...this should be improved by Apple and it should be able to sync just MUSIC section and not whole system, when I changed just something in MUSIC section(like adding new CD..)
So it does on PC whole resync Maybe is it somewhere in options, but where? I really want sync sometimes just MUSIC or just Apps and nothing else(like Photos, Bookmarks...)
I am sorry for that angry tone, but I am really stresedby this 20minutes sync or 10 miutes...just becouse of adding 1-2 songs, this is by competition phones quicklier :/ !

My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications.
