I am assuming that this installation was on an internal HDD.
Did you use a Full Retail Version and not a computer specific or update version to install?
What method/option did you use to do the basic installation?
Did your Repair Disk Permissions before and after installation.
I am not suggesting that you did or did not do any of these things. Just trying to establish a base.
Good luck.

Help with Solaris.....any help would be nice

I have to write a paper comparing and contrasting Solaris with DOS/MSDOS.....you wouldnt think this would be hard but it is......is ththere a place where I can find a head to head comparsion? If not perhaps some of you familiar with Solaris could give me some points to start with......I should point out I have never used or seen Solaris I am completely new to this area and it may seem simple but the truth is Im a little overwhelmed by all the information....cant see the forrest for the trees...........so any help would be nice ....thanks in advance

Hi,
Solaris is so much more advanced an OS than DOS that a comparison is not straightforward, but here are some less than exhaustive suggestions. Please bear in mind I m not a DOS person, and these are just my personal thoughts on the subject; apologies to Microsoft afficionados for any mistakes.
Similarities:
Both DOS and Solaris are Operating Systems. They provide access to machine resources, like a printer port, or a disk ( through the filesystem), by providing an Application Programming Interface, thus saving programmers from learning the underlying details and machine language of each machine they use. So for example in DOS compiler routines make use of INT 21h to access system services.In solaris we use the system call interface (which does a similar thing underneath).
They also both provide a command shell for ordinary users. In DOS we have command.com, in Solaris you may use Korn shells for example.
Differences
DOS is a single user operating system. Solaris is multiuser, multitasking and multiprocessing.
That is to say Solaris supports multiple programs running on the system at the same time. It will context switch between them to give the illusion of concurrency on a uniprocessor system (time-slicing). On a multiprocessor some tasks will run concurrently.
Many users can log on to a Solaris system (via a serial terminals, or a network connection (telnet or X windows)) and run programs at the same time. Full networking facilities are built in.
Dos only provides the ability to fileshare across the network, using the add on Lan Manager.
Because multiple users run processes (threads/tasks ...) concurrently, Solaris provides extensive security, which DOS doesnt. Each process is owned by a user and runs in its own virtual memory space and is prevented from interfering with any other process memory or other users processes. The operating system and its data is held in protected kernel memory and not directly accessible to processes, so malfunctioning user program cant crash the system accidentally or maliciously.
Devices and files are protected through filesystem permissions, so a device or file has an owner, a group owner and various permissions attributes such as read/write/execute.
Solaris also implements filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs).
Solaris runs in 32bit protected mode on x86 processors, giving it access to the full address range of the processor (4GB using 4k pages). DOS uses the 16bit segmented memory model.
On ultrasparc systems or the forthcoming Intel Itanium systems, Solaris runs in 64bit mode, giving it access to vastly more memory and
faster computation. (note also DOS only runs on x86 processors).
Who are you writing the paper for? It would probably help some of the readers here with posting suggestions. Some specific questions would be good too.
However, you should try to get access to a solaris system on a network and maybe have a friendly sysadmin show you around a bit.
Do you know anyone with a LINUX system? Solaris and LINUX are variants of the UNIX OS and for your purposes a comparison of LINUX and DOS may suffice.
Hope that is some help.

Fresh install of 10.4.7 and crash and burn! A little help would be nice.

I did a fresh install of 10.4.7, there is no old information from the old system over to this new one. No user account info, not even desktop backgrounds yet...
Everything has been done from scratch, the only updates I have done are the 10.4.7 combo updater, and the generic ones on Software Update. I downloaded the 10.4.7 combo updater so to not do the incremental one since it seems to me that the incremental one sometimes can cause issue.
In any case, after the computer has been put to sleep any Apple application that has been left open, such as DVD Player, iTunes, iPhoto, and of the like stop responding. I am forced to hard shut down my machine because when I try to shut down my computer via the menu bar, the computer freezes completely.
I don't have any 3rd party software on this computer yet, nor will I till this is solved.
This is my computer:
Dual 1.25G4
2GB ECC Ram
One 250GB Seagate HD 16MB Cache
One 250GB Maxtor HD 8MB Cache
One Seagate HD 80GB HD 8 MB Cache
Radeon 9600 Pro Mac/PC Card.
Nothing else... so my computer shouldn't be showing these problems as far as I am concerned... it is probably a preference, but I can't image it to be so because of the fact that All Apple applications seem to be infected with this plight all at the same time.
I can't bring the computer to be repaired since it is out of warrantee, but to me it seems like there is an issue, and I can't fantom what the problem is in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.

Boot from your installer disc. If the problem is still present, then take it in for service.

USB not working, help would be nice, i´m not a retard.

I can't get my USB port working, or it may be my player thats crap, no idea actually, it'ss a muvo something...help would be appreciated//White

Did you manage to find a solution to your USB not being recognised. Bought Muvo slim for our daughter at christmas and it stopped working at exactly 2 months after purchasing. Works fine on my friends PC. Tried taking off all files to do with creative. Computer will not recognise it as a removable device. Took it back to the shop I bought it from and they got it running without the software, windows opened it. Not a happy bunny!!!!!
Next step is to ask for my money back.

IP - Various problems with BEX Analyser - help would be nice

Hi,
we use IP in combination with BEX analyser. We experience certain problems. Does anyone experienced the same issues mentioned below:
1) if a planning function is executed, it is executed twice when your cursor is within the query itself. If it is outside the query when clicking on the button, it is executed once (like it should).
2) Locking: we don't have locking problems, but from the moment two people lock each other once, they need to close their analyser and re-open it (so logon again) in order to be able to start planning again in a non-locked part. If they just change their selection (to the not-lock part) they remain locked!!!
3) planning function with multiple variables: system cannot retrieve values of all variables.
details of function:
CMD                                               1       EXECUTE_PLANNING_FUNCTION
PLANNING FUNCTION NAME           1      AG10_COPY01
DATA PROVIDER_FILTER                 1     DATA_PROVIDER_1
VAR_NAME                                     1       PROF_CTR
VAR_VALUE                                    1       510
VAR_NAME                                     2     PERIOD
VAR_VALUE                                    2        012
VAR_NAME                                     3       CUSTOMER
VAR_VALUE                                    3     1000
-> following the instruction of the SAP course, in case of multiplle variables they should start from 0 and have an incremental increase. But the system only recognizes the variable with index = 1
regards
D

Dear Dries,
could it be that the variable type you use require a different set of commands?
In general the parameters of the BEx Analyzer follow the rules of the SAp BW 3.5 Webruntime. When reading this detailed documentation you find that depending on the type of variable other names have to be used, e.g. when using a selection option variable you need something line varname_low, varname_high, ...
The documentation can be found in the online-help:

Hi
I'd try running the daily, weekly, monthly maintenance files, and also clearing the cache files.
A utility like Onyx or Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner will make both these tasks quite simple.

When I go to Youtube, certain videos will not play now. This only happened after I downloaded firefox 4. I tested all of the plugins like the troubleshooting page recommended, but still nothing. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

If I try to play a certain person's vevo videos for example they won't play. Other videos posted by people will play, but it seems like if it is an official page by whoever (Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, etc) they won't play and I have no idea why.

It seems to be any videos that have an ad that play before them won't start. I'm thinking it may be an issue related to Flash.

When moving from a list of threads view to a thread would be nice to jump to last thread read.

When moving from a list of threads being viewed to a thread, it would be nice to jump to last thread read or first unread thread.
Sometimes the threads get rather long. Sometimes I haven't read a thread in awhile & I forget where I have left off reading a thread. It would be nice to have an icon to click on to move to your last read post or the first non-read post.
Seems this could be implemented in javascript without too much problem. Might be a problem of when to get rid of the tracking data.

This would be a new capability. I didn't know you could jump directly to the last post in a thread by clicking on the posters name in your discussions. However, I am interested in jumping to the first post that I haven't read.
Since writing my original post, I realize that software doesn't know what posts I have read. Lets say there are are 26 posts in a thread. Lets assume these are divided into three pages with at most 10 items in a page:
page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z
The software know that I have viewed the first three pages. It doesn't know what post on the pages I have read. The software would need to assume I have read all the available posts on a page.
Now lets assume that 12 more post were added. This results in:
page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z, aa,bb,cc,dd
page 4 -- ee,ff,gg,hh,ii,jj,kk,ll
It would be nice if I could go to aa.
Jumping to the last post in the thread doesn't hack it. You have to spend a lot of time finding where you left off your reading.
Intesting, the list of your posts on your homepage usings the term Last Activity were as Your Discussions uses the term Last Post. The terminalogy should be the same & should act the same. For the existing capability of going the the last post, I was thinking of Goto Last Post.

HT4245 my imessage doesn't work on my ipod touch. i touch it to open and it immediately closes....help please to resolve it. it would be nice to use if it would work.

ipod touch with iOS 6.0.1i've done everything the support site says. even reactivated it and still the same thing....nothing...like i said, it would be nice to use it if i could but now im just getting really fed up with this if i have something permanently on there that i can't use. help would be very much appreciated for me.

This is the iPad forum. You might have better on the iPod touch forum.

I need help with changing my e-mail. I just made this account today and I want to delete it or change the e-mail. Help would be very nice!

Hello can you tell me how to terminate my account(DELETE IT!) or change the e-mail. I went to privacy setting and my e-mail was shown, but nothing about changing it. I went to profile settings and there was nothing about deleting it so any help would be highly appreciated!

Deleting the iTunes account is not the solution as you will very likely lose any and all purchases ever made with the account.
If you cannot find the option on the site, contact iTunes support.

Nullpointer exception... any help would be appreciated

In advance, I apologize for any ignorance which I may obviously have... I'm in the process of learning Java, and am used to C/C++... In any case, I'm running into a nullpointer exception while 'compiling', which I'm having trouble figuring out... I'll list everything below, but this message will be rather long, as I will try to include everything I can. For this reason, I will ask my questions here, at the top:
1) A null pointer exception, I believe, is generated when something is being referenced which is currently null, for example "a=null; a.b;" yields a null pointer exception. However, is there any other way that one is generated?
2) Are there methods to figure out what/why something is null other than simply looking at it? As shown below, it seems that just looking at it runs you in a circle from line to line, file to file, which leads you back to the beginning where nothing is actually null... (I'm probably just not seeing it, but that seems to be what's happening to me)
So now, on to the actual code:
The following is a printout of the debugging info:
~/bin/jdk*/bin/java -classpath classes jamie.Main
java.lang.NullPointerException
at jamie.Main.Sys_Log(Main.java:110)
at jamie.Main.Setup(Main.java:142)
at jamie.Main.main(Main.java:54)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at jamie.Main.Sys_Log(Main.java:110)
at jamie.Main.Shutdown(Main.java:182)
at jamie.Main.main(Main.java:92)And a short excerpt of each. (*) indicates line which error originates:
20    )   private static Log                sys_log;
108 )   static void Sys_Log(String msg)
109 )   {
110*)        sys_log.Log(msg);
111 )   }
142*)   Sys_Log("Server warming up...");
182*)   Sys_Log("Server shutting down...");
50 )     public static void main(String[] args)
51 )     {
52 )          try
53 )          {
54*)                Setup();
85 )     catch(Exception e)
86 )     {
87 )          e.printStackTrace(System.out);
88 )          err_log.Log(e.toString());
89 )     }
90 )     finally
91 )     {
92*)            Shutdown();
93 )      }Now, various things that I have tried, and their result (you can probably skip this section, as these were mostly futile efforts):
What seems odd to me is that the initial error is on line 110, which is the logging function Sys_Log. Since it's a null pointer exception, I would assume that sys_log is null? and thus in calling Log we're generating that error... I'm not entirely sure that that makes sense, though. Additionally, and what I find odd, is that if I change it to what I will list below, I get a slew of other seemingly unrelated problems:
20    )   private static Log                sys_log;
108 )   static void Sys_Log(String msg)
109 )   {
110#)        if (sys_log!=null)
111 )        sys_log.Log(msg);
112 )   }This results in a problem with function Err_Log, which I change the same way, resulting in the following:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at jamie.Area_LUL.Load(Area_LUL.java:23)
        at jamie.Main.Setup(Main.java:161)
        at jamie.Main.main(Main.java:55)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at jamie.Main.Shutdown(Main.java:186)
        at jamie.Main.main(Main.java:93)In Main.java the following lines are generating the error:
160 )   lul = new Area_LUL();
161*)   lul.Load();And in Area_LUL.java I also have the following:
14 )class Area_LUL implements LoaderUnloader
15 ){
16 )    public void Load()
17 )    {
18 )        try
19 )        {
20 )            areadir = new File("./areas/");
21 )            SAXParser p = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
22 )
23*)            for(File curr : areadir.listFiles(new Area_Filter()))
24 )            {
25 )                p.parse(curr, new XMLParser());
26 )            }
27 )        }Where in the above, the for statement is generating the null pointer exception... which would tell me that areadir is null, however it is defined as new File("./areas/"); Also, lul (defined as new Area_LUL(); is generating the same error, though it is clearly defined in Area_LUL.java at the top of the last excerpt.
Also, LoaderUnloader is defined in another file as follows:
interface LoaderUnloader
    void Load();
    void Unload();
}which are defined in Area_LUL in Area_LUL.java .
A major theory which I currently have is that the compiler is beginning with my main.java file, and not seeing the class definition in another file, and thus attributing the class obj I create as null, which is causing the error, but I also am not sure if this is possible...
My imports for Main.java are as follows:
package jamie;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;I'm not entirely sure what the package is including, however I do have a jamie.jar file in another directory (../../dist) (could be referencing that?). Also, to compile the source I am using the following command:
~/bin/jdk*/bin/java -classpath classes jamie.MainHowever my classpath (I believe) isn't set to include all my files in the given directory. I wouldn't believe that this would be an issue, however if it could possibly be causing this, I can figure out how to set it properly. Also, this should mean I'm starting with Main.java, and perhaps I am right in concluding that it isn't referencing Area_LUL in another file properly, which is setting it as null?
In any case... Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been a bit of a struggle for about a month now, trying various resources, moving things around, etc... Thanks so much for your time in reading,
-Jess

I'm not able to follow the program flow from your post. Please create a small standalone program that exhibits the problem and post that back here.
Your assumption re a NPE is correct, that's the only way they're generated.
There are no "canned" methods to resolve NPEs. The best solution is to put System.out.println statements for all of the involved objects and variables immediately preceeding the error line (in this case, 110) and something will show null. Usually that's enough info to backtrace to the real cause.

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated.

I have tried and failed to copy my iTunes library and playlists from my Windows 8 desktop to my Windows 7 laptop using an external hard drive. Can it be done? Help would be appreciated. I have followed instructions found online but the library of music doesn't pull in. Thanks!

Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

It would be nice if the IOS7 calendar in weekly view would show more

When viewing in weekly view, all-day events appear at the top. When there are two or less, the size of that window reduces. It would be nice if it expanded to show all, all-day events for that day. Currently I have to scroll up and down to see them.

Hi Kathy,
No need to apologize. It's your first time submitting, so I'm going to go waaaay out on a limb & assure you that you are not being redundant!
Welcome to the Apple Support Community. Your post actually inspired me, if you will, to find a way to peruse through new music releases without having to come across genres that I absolutely do not care for... like Metal or Rap. Go figure!
Okay, what I found was that when you are in the iTunes Store, you can simply click on Music as shown below:
Then if you look over to the right just below the rotating billboards, you will see the following:
Then it's simply a matter of selecting which genre you want to see; for example:
Voilà! The page will show nothing but.... you guessed it, kathyfromindianapolis!
Then, if you want to see most of the newest releases by genre; then simply click on the " See All > " hyperlink just to the left of the 'genre selector box' & that will bring you to a page like this:
Finally, up in the top right corner, there is a 3-way toggle with a little triangle with which you can sort by Name, by Release Date, or by Featured. I believe that the default setting is 'Featured', however, I prefer the 'Release Date' as that puts it all in chronological order for y'all!
So, your suggestions are nice, Kathy, but since it would cost Apple the time involved in facilitating such a change; chances are (realistically speaking) that your suggestion(s) will go unheeded. Nonetheless, I hope that what I have found (because of your initiative) helps you come closer to what you suggested.
Best Regards,
mm~
