My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
•OS X: About kernel panics:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
•Resolving Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
•Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
Good luck & happy computing!

What is the output of Maya and how does Java use it in animation.

What type of software is used and what input and output files are created in the animation process?
From what I read:
Maya is used to create polygon structures, perform rigging, and it attaches surface textures which are made in Photoshop. Then Maya creates key images or positions of the animation. Next Maya exports an image and a data file to do the neccessary transformations. Finally, Java uses the image and the data file to paint the images and their position based on the game logic's use of the data file.
What have I missed or described wrong?
I also need more clarity on the input files to Java and how Java stores and uses these files. The use of Maya images and files seems different. Is Maya or Java doing the transformations or are they both doing them? How does this work?
Thanks for your help
Jon

Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.

I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order. Advice was to right click on pane at left. I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order. The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane. I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this? Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

What is "other" under usage data and how do I get rid of it?

I was recently given a used iPad 3rd generation 16GB A1416 with IOS 7.1.2. I set up my own Apple ID and then I deleted all existing apps, photos, movies, messages, reminders, etc to make room in storage and then downloaded 4 new apps for my granddaughter that total about 1.7GB. Usage data shows that I now only have approximately 4GB left. When I sync to iTunes to view usage info online it shows the 1.7GB used for apps and it then shows approximately 7.7
GB under "other." What is OTHER and how do I delete it? This is my first Apple product and my first tablet so I really need a little help here. Thanks for any info you can supply.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

What is the Other yellow stuff - and how do I get rid of it?

I have .18 audio, .02 photos, .01 apps and .21 OTHER? I dont know what that is or how to get rid of it. I saw where some responses said to go to the back or restore factory settings. My question is on what and how? I am very computer illiterate and getting frustrated! Now it is not much, but I don't want it to cause a problem down the road. Also, if my itouch is a 8G, why does it show only 6.5 GB as the capacity? Thanks for any help!!

To reduce "other" sometimes a restore from backup works but many times a restore to factory defaults is required. I would not be concerned until ti gets to 1 GB though.
The difference between the 8 GB iPod total capacity/storage capacity and 6.5 is due to the iOS taking up some of that difference by a lot of it is du to the difference of how BG is calculated. See:

What is the point of tags, and how does one use them?

I am completely mystified by tags. This is a new feature that is supposed to be wonderful and helpful, and some people have hailed them as a major improvement. However, I can't see what they are good for.
If you put a tag on a file, it is added to the beginning of the filename in Finder, thus shortening the portion that is visible, which potentially makes it harder to identify the file. If you are thinking of telling me to abandon icon view in the Finder, forget it.
Tags have to be added manually. How does that work if you have more than 24 files? I have about 3,000.
It seems that you'd have to come up iwth a categorization scheme for alll the files on your disk. Ccmbine that with tagging them manually, won't that take a huge amount of t ime?
What added benefit do tags give the user?
We used to be able to add metadata to files with CMD+I. Now we can only add tags. Is this progress or regress and why?
Incidentally, I am over 12 years of age.

What causes signal processing error 20352 and how can I get rid of it?

I'm using a lowpass filter express vi with a dynamic data input and have been getting a warning number 20352 from the error output node. The documentation states the following about this warning number: Current and previous waveforms are not contiguous. Can someone tell me what this means, if it is significant and how I can eliminate the warning?

Are you trying to filter just one waveform or are you combining multiple waveforms together before passing it through the filter? A discontinuous waveform would be one with missing time information...like a skip in the data that could result from adding two together. OR...Possibly it is two waveforms with different delta T's that have been added together and "coerced".

What is a Software Security Device. and How do I get rid of it?

When ever I open thunderbird or apple mail I get give password required Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device. How do I get rid of it. If I could easily transport my data to apple mail I would and drop TB. also this similiar asking for password comes up
What can I do?.

Thank you I saw this and seem to have put in a master password and now driving me crazy. Could I clean my mac and then reinstall a backup to try to get rid of problem. Seems like that answer went a long way back. Or should just set master password and enter it continually.

What is an EU internet subscription and how do I get one

It doesn't currently do anything and needs to be turned off to allow data roaming to work.

What is all this "Other" stuuf and how do I get rid of it? PLease help!!!

I had to restore my iTouch and it;s working fine now but my computer shows that it has like seven gigs of "other" content that dos not show up on my iTouch. This much space being taken up is preventing me from actually putting my music on my iTouch. Can anybody help me out?

Do you have any apps such as Air Video, VLC or ZumoCast that allow you to convert or sync media for use offline? Or any PDF readers that may have large PDF files associated? Any RSS readers or other aggregators that could have large caches of internet material?
In my experience these are the sorts of apps that generate a lot of 'other' content. Sometimes it's easy to forget what files you have associated with these apps.

What is "no service vodafone NL" and how do I get rid of it?

Got this message last night while in rural Georgia and don't know what it means or how to get rid of it.

I had this happen to me once and it just happened again. I have an HTC Incredible II and I live in New York City (don't know if that has anything to do with it). Here is how I fixed it:
Power off phone
Open phone, remove battery and remove SIM card
Replace battery and power on phone.
When the phone comes back on it said something like, No SIM card, this phone will now switch to CDMA mode.
Power off phone
Open phone and replace SIM card.
Power on phone - should be fixed. When I power on it says SIM card detected, this phone will now switch to Global mode. The Vodafone NL is gone and everything seems to be working as usual.
Short version:
1. Power down
2. Remove SIM card
3. Power up
4. Power down
5. Replace SIM card
6. Power up
Hope that helps.

There's nothing there but some vector artwork, trapcode, fractal noise, illustrator artwork, bad typography (editorial comment), some blend modes and a little animation. I doubt it was a template. It's not very modern.
If you want to really some interesting work try looking on Behance. You might even find some free downloads. It's one of my favorite parts of the CC experience. I especially like this for pure graphics and it's from a new AE user.
