Macbook zoom/rotating problem, help please!

I have a macboook and every time I try to zoom in or out using my mousepad, my picture is rotated. How can I fix this?

The Rotate gesture on a trackpad can be very close to the Zoom gesture. They both use a two finger movement. Since the Zoom gesture involves spreading or pinching your fingers, if you do not maintain a perfectly horizontal/vertical movement (i.e. one of your fingers moves either up/down/left/right instead of directly toward the other finger while pinching/spreading), the Rotate gesture will be reported by the OS to Photoshop Elements. As Barbara reports, you can disable this gesture from the System Preferences.

You have made an extra folder called "Internets" and put the Safari app in there. It (and all other apps) need to be freestanding (not enclosed in another folder) in the HD > Applications folder.
Because it's in this folder, it has not properly updated. Running 10.8.2 OS, you should be up to 6.0 Safari. But because it's in a folder, it's still way back there.

There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.
Ciao.

VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

I continue to have messages popping up saying my computer is infected. It wants me to cleanup and I have to register with Mac Shield 2.6. Pronograhic websites keep popping up. Anyone having this problem? Did not have this problem yesterday, but it's here today! There is also a Red Sheild on the top of the toolbar where it shows the time, battery life, etc. Right clicking on the sheild drops down Scan Now, Cleanup, Control Center, Scan, System Info, Settings, About, and Register. A pron site just popped up again! Need help Please!!

The Mac Shield malware can come through Firefox too if you allow it to and you click on it!
Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)

ICloud problems help please!

I have an iPhone 6 and during the setup I must have did something wrong and now I have my old iCloud account on it that I no longer remember the password, security questions, and no longer have the email address to that account. I think I was hacked and my password and security questions changed. I want to log out of iCloud and start using my current iCloud account. I know these are security measures, but how can I get logged out??? My iPhone is having problems since the latest update and now I can't make a call or text. I can't call apple support without a working number HELP Please.

Hello shelbyrecords,
Oh no! That sounds really frustrating. Unfortunately, if iCloud Find my iPhone Activation Lock is enabled on the device we’ll need to gain access to your previous Apple ID account to disable it. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you may need a personalized support experience to recover your previous Apple ID:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Soundtrack problems - help please

Help please. I tried doing a send to multi-track project from FCP with the base layer video option and kept getting the 'error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro' message. I did a search and the suggestion is that I have no disk space but I have over 600GB!
Then I tried a send with the full video and the file saved okay. However when I try to open the .stmp file, Soundtrack Pro starts and then freezes. I've tried opening in various ways.
Help please, I just cannot figure this out! What am I doing wrong?

Not sure how much help this is, but since you're having problems with the layout, did you try deleting the layout file? MacintoshHD/users/username/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts
BTW, I found a BKiLifeConfiguration.plist in the following path:
MacintoshHD > Library > Application Support > ProApps > Internal Plug-ins > BrowserKit > iLife.bkplugin > Contents > Resources
Do you find it there?

SQL INSERT problem - help please

Hello,
I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
These data should be save into these tables.
FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these
data into the db.
Here is my code which I have wrote. But it points an error.
"AddNewFinal.jsp"
String interviewDate = request.getParameter("date");
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");

Hi Casabianca ,
It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
the following code
<input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
<input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
<input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
<input type="text" name="basicSal0">
the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
some suggestions:
1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
<input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
This will give us only selected rows values.
2) retain the code
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
3) some change to the code for optimization
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
to
pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
Hope it helps. : )

Macbook Internet Network Hacking (Help Please!)

Hi, Thanks for looking... I am concerned that my apartment neighbor (a computer network engineer) might be trying to hack my Macbook and snoop around with my internet usage, and possibly access my Macbook remotely. Could someone please answer a few questions to ease my concerns please? (The Macbook is connected directly to the broadband modem and there is no wireless internet involved.)
// I suspect he might have gotten physical access to my broadband modem and seen it, is there any information on the modem itself that would give him access to my macbook and internet usage? (The modem says: cable RF MAC Address... and a serial number)
// How easy is it to hack a specific Macbook? Say if my neighbor was indeed a hacker, and wanted to mess with me for whatever reason, would it actually be possible to find out my internet IP address (could he hack the ISP?) to snoop around with how I use the internet? (The Macbook now has the firewall enabled and file sharing, etc. switched off.)
I know very little about this computer networking stuff, so I'm thinking the worst scenario is happening (which is hopefully far-fetched and exaggerated.) If anyone could help me by sharing their knowledge that would be an awesome help! Thanks!

Depending on the router, it may be very easy for him to hack it, whether he has seen it or not. If you believe this may have happened, see How to manage a hacked wireless router.
As for hacking the Mac, that's not a significant concern unless he has had unmonitored physical access to the machine. If he has, the only way to be sure he hasn't installed something to monitor you is to erase the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch.
If he is able to get on the same network as you - which you should make sure to prevent by securing your wireless router - be sure everything in System Preferences -> Sharing is turned off. If you must have a service there turned on, be sure it can only be accessed using a strong password.

Multiselect problem Help please!!

Hi all,
I am currently using Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 I have developed an online questionnaire with a multiselect list for one of the questions. The problem i am having is that i need each choice to be totaled up separately on the report generated.
My table of answers looks like this:
Column name e.g. (Question 9)
Answer "Dog" "Cat" "Mouse" "Snake" (underneath column name Question 9 depending on what is selected).
The reporting page would look like below:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
and for the question you could have another respondent who chooses similar of items on the multiselect, so their answer looks like this:
Answer
"Question 9" Dog
"Question 9" Snake
This would then start a new row on the reporting page like below which is not what i want:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
Dog: Snake 1
But the report should look like this:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 2
Mouse 1
Snake 2
The current SQLquery i am using is below:
select "QUESTION 9",
count(*) c
from "P1 DQUESTIONNAIRE"
group by "QUESTION 9"
Thanks for your help and suggestions,
'S'

How to make sure your forum post will never be answered:
1) Make sure your subject line is completely meaningless (i.e. HELP PLEASE!) and describes no part of your actual problem
2) State that you are having "a few problems" but make sure to offer no details whatsoever what those problems are or what the symptoms are.
3) Post large volumes of code instead of distilling the problem down to a compact snippet
4) For extra points, make the code hard to read by refusing to make use of the "code" tag.

K8N Neo2-fx Ram problem Help please

I have three ram(2x512MB single sided , 1x1GB double sided). Is there any way I can put them all on the motherboard? When I place them all the computer is not starting and it`s making a "beep" every 2-3 seconds. If i connect the 1GB double sided on the Dimm1(green) and the one 512MB single sided on the Dimm3(green) it`s working properly. Is there any way I can use all my ram at the same time. I`m desperate. Help please... thank you

How can I put my computer facts under any post I am posting? I should make it my signature?
That's the rule mate which you need to gives all your component in details including your PSU and Bios revision so that others can help you! Like what BOSSKILLER say it won't works with 3 DIMMS unless you purhased another 1 GB of RAM then it can solve your problem with 4 DIMMS or else with 2*512MB RAM. Make sure that you've lowered your HT to <=800Mhz as default is 1000Mhz. GD luck.

Macbook to Tv problem! Please Help!

Ok so i've been back and forth to best buy a few times today and nothings working so I need some help. I have a later 2008 MacBook Pro and I'm trying to hook it up to my Samsung TV which is like 48in. First I tried VGA but apparently that doesn't work so I exchanged it and bought an Apple Mini display port-to-DVI converter and then bought a DVI-to-HDMI chord to plug up to my TV. It works but the only thing that appears is my background, theres no curosr, no dock, no icons, nothing. I'm close to giving up please help me.

ok so i just kept messing around with it and the reason nothing showed up was because i didn't have mirror displays selected so hopefully this will help someone else with this problem.

Macbook Pro 2011 Wi-Fi Problem HELP PLEASE! :/

Hi,
Why does my Wi-Fi signal stay on, however when I try to open a webpage, say www.apple.com, it stays loading and never comes up. When I turn my Airport on and off again, it comes back to normal and the web page loads? This is very frustrating for me, especially when I'm new to Mac and I've been longing for one for ages! On the other hand, my other laptop (Acer 5732Z) works fine and connects to the internet and I'm not faced with such a problem (running Windows 7)
My home router is a TP-Link model No. WR740-N.
I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X and I've tried installing all the recent updates from the software updates
When I'm using the Macbook with Ethernet cable connected (not my intended use), the internet connection is also abit unsteady, however it is not that much as when I'm connected via my Wi-Fi Network.
I would appreciate anyone's help! I've tried setting my router according to apple's instructions, but still the problem persists!!
Thanks!

My MacBook Pro, which I just got in July of 2011, will not connect to the internet. I get free wireless in my apartment complex, and I've been using it ever since I moved in a few days after I got my laptop. I haven't had problems connecting to it before.
Just the other night, I was watching a movie on Netflix and it was perfect. Then I tried watching a tv show and it stopped working from then on. I highly doubt it's a router issue because no one else in my apartment seems to have any problems. There has been a heavy rainstorm here recently, but I'm almost certain that would have no effect.
When I try to open Safari, I will be connected to the WiFi according to the AirPort status in the menu bar, but the pages will not load completely. I'll get less than a fifth loaded according to the blue in the address bar (I don't know the technical terminology) and then I'll check the Network Settings and try to connect and refresh the page, and then it will say that I'm no longer connected to the internet.
I've tried deleting my locations, networks, and looked into deleting the plists (a suggestion I found in a thread somewhere) but I'm afraid I'd ruin something. I've done the obvious restarting my computer, but of course to no avail. I tried turning the AirPort on and off - nothing. I've found posts on other sites about "zapping the PRAM" by holding down the Command (⌘), Option, P, and R keys simultaneously when starting the computer - like a reboot - but I'm afraid I'd lose something important (??).
I'm curious if I messed up something when I tried connecting to the wireless at my university, which I was unable to do. I don't know if this issue is my fault or is it an Apple thing (software, hardware)? It's clear everyone else is having major problems with this as well.
Honestly, I don't know what to do. I feel like I wasted money switching to Mac from PC. I know how to fix all my PC problems, but Mac is beyond me. Any help? Please!? I need my Mac working ASAP for school and work!

Problem with macbook connecting to wireless: help please

thanks for reading this thread.
i have a linksys WRT54G2 router connected straight from the ethernet port of a cable internet connection. it's been working fine for the past month or two for both me (using macbook 10.5.6), my flatmate (running vista pc) and my girlfriend also running a macbook.
but, the last few days i've been having problems getting connected. which are:
not connecting to wireless network automatically, and asking for password which is already remembered in keychain
getting connection timeout when trying to connect
getting invalid password, even though password is correct
websites taking around 2 mins to load when connection is eventually made
the internet is working fine on both my flatmates and girlfriends computers, but jut doesn't seem to like mine. heres what i've done already:
restored router to factory settings and updated with latest firmware
cleared all known wireless networks within network preferences
tried both firefox and safari
accessed router using IP address and loaded pages instantly
works fine connected to router with an ethernet cable
the only thing i havn't tried is a different wireless network, which i'm going to try tomorrow when i go into university.
has anyone any idea what the problem may be? like i said, its been working fine for the past 2 months but has just decided it doesn't like my macbook.
any help or suggestions would be great, thanks alot

I had the same problem as you. It all started when all of a sudden my macbook wouldnt automatically join my home wifi that is usually does. I ignored this issue because it still worked, and this persisted for a few months. After a while, the situation got worse and after waking up from sleep, my wifi signal would go strong at first, then weaken until it kicks me off, and i no longer could reconnect as I would get a connection timeout error. I just went to the apple store and they replaced the airport card for free for me.
So basically your airport card is slowly dieing, replacement is inevitable.
