Kinda OT --- but couldn't figure out where else to post
This is the situation --- I use Pro Tools 7 M Powered. I initally installed it on my Mini and when I upgraded to my iMac, I upgraded to the Intel version of PT 7.1. In order to use PT M Powered you have to "unlock" it using the license which is stored on this little USB device called an iLok. I used PT over the weekend. Last night I went to use it and it told me the iLok didn't exist and I needed to run the iLok installer software.
It goes through the installation process but when it launches the iLok website, it tells me no software has been installed.
Of course, there is not an Intel version of this to my knowledge and even after forcing Safari to run in Rosetta mode, I keep getting that error. I can see the key on the website, but I can't verify it in order to unlock Pro Tools because this software won't install.
I have no earthly idea why it stopped working: the USB device isn't defective and I'm about at my wit's end trying to access the license so I can open up Pro Tools. The only thing I can think of is to hook up the Mini and reauthorize the key again on there and then hope and pray the iMac will be able to read it again.
So... I was wondering if anyone else has come across a similar situation with audio software/DAW requiring unlocking and how they handled it? If there is some sort of workaround because I really hate to wait on iLok to release an Intel based version of the software required so that the iMac can access this key again!
And I can't afford to spend lots of loot on and HD based system or Pro Tools LE, as I only remix/edit recreationally now At the time I chose to invest in the M Powered version, I felt it would meet all my requirements. If I had known this iLok thing would be such a hassle I would've sprang more money!

Thanx --- I was surfing the Digi-forums last night after I initially encountered the problem I just figured it might be a situation someone here had encountered and wanted to try as many angles as possible.
I did post in the M-Powered forum over there and hopefully I will be able to solve the problem!

I was on the apple support site and typed my question in the small box at the bottom but couldn't figure out how to send it. The person at the other end couldn't read what I typed. I have a new OS10.8.4 and can't find "empty cache" when I'm ready to close Safari. How do I do this? Thanks

I've tried to keep my computer as organized and clean as possible. I only have 400 songs and not a ton of pictures. I can't figure out where else I need to look on my hard drive. Any suggestions?
I can't really figure out how much I have left in memory but here is some basic info:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB

Is there somewhere to look to see a breakdown of what memory is used where?
Thanks for your help! -

My mini iPad won't sync to laptop. Says needs update, but can't figure out where to update it.
My mini iPad won't sync to my laptop, also a Mac. When I plug it in it says it needs to be updated, but I can't figure it out.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help post back with more specifics on what is happening. Describe any error messages you get. -
I have completed the download of a rental movies on iTunes on my iPad but can't find where the movie so I can start playing it on my iPad? Help?
Since you make no mention of where you have looked, then I suggest looking in the videos app.

Same as above. Thanks.
look of tabs on the top and click on the one on the left, or close the one your on which I assume says something about welcome or whatever.

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?
The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo. -

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!

Wasnt sure if I was was disabling Java or Java Script here....
That is Java. Those are also really old versions. You can actually keep them turned on in Java Preferences.
What you want to change is in Safari > Preferences > Security and turn off Java there. Leave Javascript turned on.
This way, the only thing you disable is Java applets, which are useless anyway. If you need to run any Java programs, they will still work. If you have any specific site that requires a Java applet, you can always turn it on just for that site and turn it back off when you are done. -

at DistributionPlagiarist.main(DistributionPlagiarist.java:112)I will attempt to explain what this does in as few words as possible. For a breakdown of the lab go urlhttp://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~paolo/teaching/494MJ/labs/lab8.shtml{url}. If you don't feel like reading that: THe program reads in some command line arguments. From there it reads from the file provided in the command line and creates "keys" from the specified length. From there I need to create a phrase of the specified length. If i am supposed to create more then one then i do. That is pretty much it. I can't figure out where (really why) the NullPointerException error is coming from.
Help is appreciated!!Post the actual error text (copy and paste, don't "interpret" it) here.
It should include a stack trace which references a line number of the program -
unless you suppressed the trace, in which case change your error handling
so that the trace is produced.
Identify which program line in your post the error is pointing to so that we can match
the error with your program, since your post doesn't have line numbers..
