Hi I just got out of this situation after two weeks of forums and have tried any kind of different solutions.
If you have no response using start-up keys and you can't choose your start-up disk when pressing "Option" here is what to do.
The problem in this situation is common to users that install Boot Camp and at one stage the installation fail, may be a bug in BootCamp or just our mistakes, it doesn't really matter here is the solution.....
If you can start Windows, or Start the installation dvd of Windows do it, when In windows you will need to install BootCamp windows Driver, if you try to use the Apple downloaded file, it will not work.
You need to find the zip file in internet I found it with Google.
When you have the file run a "cmd" window with Administrator privileges.
Navigate in the folder that you have decompressed and open the folder Drivers/Apple/ you will see the file BootCamp.msi or BootCamp64.msi, of course choose the one that correspond to your Windows System .... type the file name and hit enter .... the drivers will install .... but what we really want to be install is that little icon on the system tray (right bottom).
After we will restart windows that little icon will give you the chance to restart the computer in OS X.
If something during the BootCamp and Windows installation had corrupted your OS X installation, you will have to reinstall, but at least you will be able to do it now. ;-) It took me two weeks and lot of researches, it's an hour job. Have fun.

What happens after TM deletes full backup & only incrementals are left?

If I understand this correctly, Time Machine does 1 complete backup & then incremental backups after that. If that's correct, what happens when the full backup is about to be erased because the backup drive is full? Does TM alert you to this & ask if you want to create a new full backup instead of another incremental one? Also, is there any way to get TM to create a log so you can see at a glance what's in the incremental backups without having to click through all the folders in each one?
TIA,
Elllen

Answering this dives into how files are represented on a disk. Basically, a disk is a huge expanse of storage space and an index/catalogue/"table of contents". When you copy data to a disk you physically copy the data into the storage space and then make a reference in the index as to where it resides on the disk. The operating system sees the reference, and doesnt go scouring the disk for files whenever you open a folder. This makes finding files and tracking their locations in the directory tree much easier. A single index-link to a storage chunk is called a "hard link". When the operating system "deletes" a file, it doesnt erase it from storage, but instead just removes the "hard link" index entry.
Since files are referenced through an index instead of reading the actual storage space of the disk itself, you can have multiple references in the index to the same chunk of storage space. Hence, you can have multiple hard links which are essentially the same file.
Keeping that in mind, read on...
Every "incremental" backup is a representation of the full backup, including the first "full" backup. Its no different than any other backup (the only difference is that it was the first one so it took longer to copy everything over). Once a file is copied over to the backup disk, it is referred to by a "hard link" in the disk's index. This is essentially how a disk points to a file on any drive. It copies the data over and then creates a hard link to the file's physical location on the disk, which is how the file is accessed by the operating system (or rather, howe the operating system knows the file exists on the disk). You can have multiple hard links to a file, where the same allocation of disk space is pointed to by two different hard links in the index. As such, you can have two representations of the same file (and therefore two links to it) represented on the same disk. If you delete one of the hard links, it will behave as if it's deleted the file, but in fact the file will still remain on disk and will be accessible through the second hard link.
Note that this is different from an Alias (which is also called a "soft link"), which is a file in itself that points to a single hard link. An alias can be removed without the original file being touched.
When TM does the initial backup it copies all the contents over to the backup disk, and then creates hard links to those files which it represents in the first backup folder. When the next backup occurs, any changed files are copied over with new hard links created. The unchanged files, however, are not copied again but instead are just referred to again with new hard links in the new backup folder. As such, new files have one hard link to them (until the next backup), and the old files have two (one in the current backup folder and one in the previous folder). This creates a situation where if the first backup folder is deleted, the original files that were copied are not lost, as they are still represented by hard links in the newer backup folder, and can be accessed that way.
So, why is this different than creating aliases to the original files in the initial backup? Since aliases are just files that point to hard links, if Aliases to the original backups were used instead of hard links, when the original hard links in the initial backup folder are removed the aliases would no longer point to anything anymore and the files would be gone. This defeats the purpose of a backup.
When a file changes from the initial backup, on the next backup the newer version will be copied over and a new hard link to it will be created. If you delete all hard links to the initial backup (by deleting the initial backup folder) the newer file will still be there in the new folder but all references to the old file will be gone and you'll be left with only the new file (along with everything else that was unchanged).
Now to answer your question: Basically, when the old backups are deleted by Time Machine, its not the full/initial backup that's deleted, but only the old versions of files that have been changed. All the original files that were not changed are still there, represented in every backup (new and old) by hard links.

Launchpad icon are gone!

Hello,
Since I used CleanMyMac 2 for the first time, some icon are missing in the launchpad. I can see only the names and I can click where they should be and the application opens. In my applications folder nothing is missing. But why are some icons gone? Do this have something to do with CleanMyMac? I am running Mavericks.
Cheers,

It has something to do with the desktop picture. I know, that sounds crazy, but hear me out.
One of the ".db" files in the dock folder was "desktoppicture.db." When I deleted it and rebooted the Dock, it reverted my desktop picture to the Hallowen image I had months ago. I've changed it at least twice since.
I suspect it has something to do with the way Launchpad overlays the desktop picture, without the icons/dock.menubar, etc. It must reference the image itself, instead of simply overlaying the Finder.
Could changing the desktop (especially often) maybe freak out whatever references are kept to the correct background image in Launchpad, thereby throwing off the whole screen draw?
To reset the Launchpad icons (and possiby your desktop!) 1) Go to ~/LIbrary/Application Support/Dock, and delete the files there. Then open Terminal, and enter "killall Dock" (capped just like that, no quotes).

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

The only icons that come up are computers and settings no movies tv etc

the only icons that come up are computers and settings, no movies tv etc. I have disconnected the device and one box nothing I have tied has corrected this problem please advise, I am so frustrated second day attempting to correct this.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline says that you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.

Hello! It is my understanding that you need to add the individual files to the Source Code Control along with the .lvproj file.
Here is a great deal of information on Source Code Control Practices in LabVIEW.

XL-Reporter - Only codes are evaluated - names appear as 0

SAP Version: SAP 2005 A (6.80.319) SP01, PL29
XLR Version: 6.80.367
Hello everybody,
I defined a rather simple report in XLR - I just want to see a list of all my clients with codes and names (I used the advanced report designer because the following is only part of a complex report):
row selection - expansion: BPA(CardType = "C")
attributes: =ixDimGet("BPA"; "CardCode"), =ixDimGet("BPA"; "CardName")
The result is a list of all clients defined in SAP with their codes,
but all names are displayed as 0 !
This problem appears also with other attributes than CardName and can also demonstrated with Items (ItemCode, ItemName, ...)
Thank you for your help!
Frank Romeni

Hello Frank,
I have had similar issues to this. The way i have found to get around it is to add a measure or light dimension to the report such as the following field =ixGet("SO_LineTotal"). I then just hide the column containing that field. Its not an ideal way around it but it's the only way to get a simple list like that.
On the Row Expansion I also untick the "Do Not Display Blank Records".
Kind regards,
Adrian Johnson

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

Importing from an iPhoto library only half appear in the application but half are left in the library,how to move on?

when I import from an upgraded iPhoto library half the photos appear in the application but half are left in the library. How do I get my iPhoto to show all the photos?

Thank you this. It is the version that came with Yesomite which asked me to upgrade the file from an earlier version of iPhoto 6. This did and it it rebuilt the Library. when I came look at the photo on the latest iPhoto only half go them appeared. I was opening the library that comes from the choice when you hold down command and option keys at the applecation start up. The other photographs were in the updated library but did not appear on the screen in the application window. They are present in the library but not showing in the application. IS that I have not given the time for them to load? This seem unlikely however. Thanks again

Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.
