If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

2 day old iphone 4s 16g (daughter's) completely frozen..Help?

    Hello,
My daughter's iphone 4s is brand new; she has been using it for 2 days now. However, currently the screen is frozen black. I tried holding the sleep button w/ the round button for at least
15 seconds (which I have used as a quick fix before with my iphone 4); however, it is doing nothing. I tried connecting it to a charger in hopes that might do something---it is still frozen black.
     We have not synched her phone yet or connected it to itunes. (It hasn't been connected to a computer at all). We are on vacation and purchased it right
before we left for vacation. She basically has about 5 new games on it and has used the texting a couple of times. (I did set her up an itunes account).
     Any suggestions? She and I appreciate your help. I am so technically challenged and I really hate that. Thanks so much. Happy New Year!

Hi

If this does not work I would assume a hardware fault which you will need to speak with Apple about

HELP!! my computer crashed and i need help.

my computer crashed about a month ago (on about the 12th of june 2008) and i had to buy another hardrive and absolutely nothing was saved. i lost every thing on it, including my entire itunes library. i have 181 songs and one 37 minuet video on my 80g ipod classic and i want to put some more songs on it. the trouble is when ever i try to sync the computer and the ipod, a box comes up saying that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library and the only way to get the songs i want on to the ipod is to erase them all off the ipod. all the songs on my ipod are off cd's and i still have them but, i had to rename all the song once they were on the computer and it took for ever. is the only way to put the songs on my ipod to go through the process of copying all the cd's or is there another way?

Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

Complete novice needs help

Hi folks
I hope you can indulge me. I am a mature student studying with the Open University in the UK. In order to complete my degree I have to produce a (small) project (doesn't have to have full functionality) based on a Network application. I am limited to using Java and to some extent the software provided for me, which in this case is JBuilder3.5 (yes I know it's old!). I can, within reason download further software providing my tutor is ok with it but here's the rub I have no idea what I actually need. There is so much to read through and I am feeling a bit thick because I cannot pin anything down.
This is where I would appreciate any help from you experts. My project subject is a browser which can interpret web pages and then configure them to be displayed in a fromat that is prefered by the user not the author. I can build the GUI but I am stuck when it comes to building the functionality behind it. ie what packages do I need to download that can recognise XML/HTML tags in order to rearrange the display? Am I even on the right track? Is it actaully possible?
Because the project is only worked over a small period I don't need full functionality but have elected to deal with input/output fields, text placemnt/display/font (infromationl), graphic placement/deletion. I may also be alowed to update my version of Jbuilder.
I would be so grateful if somebody could at least point me in the right direction. I need to add here that I feel so stupid that I need replies in very plain english :o)
Wanda

Hi ddossot
Saw your note about using a proper IDE unfortunately I am obliged to use the one provided by my UNI. Reason being the markers of my project may not be up to date with other IDE's. Though I may be allowed to use a newer version of JBuilder. I am waiting to hear if I have permission to do so.
Here's another thick question. from what I remember, when studying Java last year, it has a number of libraries that can be imported to a project. When I download the HTML and XML stuff are they just added to the libraries already in place and if so how is it done.
ps hope they also have tutorials with them for the coding :o(
One last question; am I in the right forum for this sort of query or is there a novice one for thicko's like me? :o)

My computer is completely frozen, after two days of installing yosemite

Two days ago I did the Yosemite update. I did the vault security encryption because it was suggested. After it, the login was taking longer than before, but the laptop was working fine. Then I shut down the computer from the initial page after it was asleep, and then I took it with me. When I turned it back on, all normal, the pages I was reading were there, and after a couple of hours of using it, it began to freeze, doing nothing but the horrible rainbow circle. I had to force quite. It restarted normally, but once I opened an application it just stayed loading there. Again forced shut. The same thing. The following time it just didn't even go into the desktop, just a blury background and the horrible rainbow. Nothing else happened. Sounds like Yosemite just screwed my computer, and now I have to wait until Monday for a technician. Does someone have a clue of what could've happened?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Please help! - My computer crashed and I need help reinstalling my CS3 software

Please help! My computer crashed and now I am trying to reistall my CS3 software. I'm receiving Unable to Install errors for all of the programs in the Suite except the Acrobat 8 Professional. Can someone please help me? I cannot afford to upgrade, but need this software to do freelance work. I own the software and serial number but Adobe will not support me as it is an older version.

I downloaded and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. It showed no files to remove, but still said it was successful. I then tried reinstalling the entire suite. Acrobat 8 Professional was the only program that installed. All other programs gave me a componant failed error. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated?!
Thanks

Complete novice needs help getting SQL Query into Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: MissMarnie
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
So I was given an intro level web course and a monster reference guide in prep to format a report. One of our developers wrote me everything I need for the report into a SQL Query and now I'm supposed to format it in CR XII literally do not know what to do from here. I'm able to set up the correct server as a datasource, if that's useful, but I don't know how to make the querey into a bunch of formattable fields in CR. If anyone can walk me through this, I'd be so grateful. I've attempted to look up SQL query in both the help and the book but I keep hitting a wall. The help dialog says things like "press this button" with no reference to what "this button" is. I'm sure it's obvious to the knowledgeable but I'm in a complete fog. Thanks in advance

Post Author: synapsevampire

IF you're trying to get assistance with setting up a query as the source for a report, try posting your Crystal version and the database type.
Different software works differently.
In CR 9 and above, under the connection to the database you'll see Add Command. Select that and you can paste the query in.
As for not knowing how to generate a report, that requires experience, there's no generic solution of course..

My Computer is completely frozen. What the **** do I do?

So my wireless network was not working. So I restarted my computer, which also updated the software that needed to be updated. As it was restarting, it made a loud beep, on my last Mac that also happened when my computer was totally messed up. Now when I turn the computer on the mouse moves slow and in A frozen fashion. It seems as though I may have gotten a virus but I didnt know that was possible. Please help

You probably don't have a virus, something is just messed up. I would recommend restoring the Mac. Do you have backups? If not, try backing up your files and restore the Mac with the installation discs.
You can backup your Mac by either connecting it to another Mac using firewire and booting holding the T key. This will mount the Mac as an external drive on the other Mac. If you don't have another Mac. You could remove the hard drive (this does not void warranty) and hook it up to another windows pc.
When this is done. Reinstall the Mac and you should be fine. It's going to be a long process but I think this will be your only option.

Complete beginnner needs help...

As a complete Flash beginner, I have a project I am trying to
make but I am unsure how to acheive it...
I want to to have 3 x 3 Frame Keyframe animations (very
simple) with a title keyframe in between each one. What I am
struggling with is that instead of repeating the keyframes lots of
times and having a huge project I want to repeat each 2 Keyframe
animation 30 times (making it a minute long) before moving onto the
text keyframe and then the next 2 keyframe animation to loop 30
times before moving on... I then want the whole thing to loop.
What code do you use in Flash CS3 (ActionScrpit 3.0) to
acheive this for each set of keyframes? To keep it simple they are
all one one layer. Any help would be gratefully recieved- thinking
this was a simple question I have been searching on here for ages
and cannot find anything that works... but I think its more do with
my lack of knowledge rather than lack of information...

I think I may have made my previous post more convoluted than
it needed to be :)
I just want to know what code to use to make a group of
keyframes repeat a certain number of times then carry on with the
rest of the movie..
Any tips in Actionscript 3 (or 2!) would be gratefully
appreciated!

Nokia 8800 - Complete Newby Needs Help !!

Hi All
Im a complete newby to this tech lark so could do with some help!
Basically ive just got a nokia 8800 phone & its got nothing on it so I want to transfer some tunes, vids etc onto it.
Firstly ive installed the nokia pc suite & updated it on my pc but then relaised that the phone doesnt have a cable dock to connect to the pc !
Ive ordered a bluetooth dongle like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUETOOTH-DONGLE-FOR-NOKIA-N-GAGE-8800-6280-6230i-7373_W0QQitemZ220133688184QQ...
Do i need to install the software that come with the dongle? i.e. drivers & blue soleil?
When ive got passed this bit i assume pc suite will see the phone then?
Any step by step help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Jason

Bluetooth and Windows is a bít tricky combination, because Windows XP (which I assume you have) has an inuildt Bluetooth driver software that works with many Bluetooth USB tcks tc. but not all.
YOu might have a Bluetooth that requires the Bluesoleil and the bluetooth conflicts in PC have been well documented in this board and everywhere else.
But you should try:
Install the CD first (if you have already put the bluetooth dongle to your PC without intalling the cd first you maybe in trouble already and it is a bit too lenghtly to hrlp, but google for xp bluetooth bluesoleil problem and oyu will find help.
However, if you have not yet put the bluetooth stick to you pc, put it there after you have installed the cd.
Then open PC suite and get connected and activate both phone bluetooth and pc and follow get connected wizard instructions

No computer just iPad and need help watching movies on apple tv

My computer crashed while back and I only use an iPad. Just hooked up apple tv and rented a movie and it looks like you need to watch the movie from your iTunes. Is there anyway to use apple tv so it recognizes your iTunes from your iPad or iPhone for that matter?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That article remains valid, the iPad 1 can AirPlay too, it just can't mirror.
Also, you don't need to watch rented movies from iTunes on your iPad, you can rent and download them straight to your Apple TV.

Computer crashed - lost itunes - need help synching to new computer

Hi,
Well last night I was the lucky recipient of a virus...on my old Desktop computer. After battling it for 2.5 hours I had to give up, it basically doesn't work anymore. This was the computer that I've always had itunes on, and the one that I sync both my iPhone 3Gs and iPod with.
Can someone please tell me:
a)Once I install iTunes on my new laptop, will it give me issues when I try to resync my ipod? Luckily I have the music backed up on an external hard drive. But will it allow me to sync?
b)how can I sync my iphone to the new computer/iTunes, without losing all my apps and pictures? Everything was backed up on my OLD computer and therefore lost.
Please help - it totally ***** and I've never had to move stuff over before.

Try a search as this is asked almost daily. Easier to find an older post than to retype all the details.

From my little knwledge, it is not possible to insert FLV
file in the HTML page directly.For this you have to made a player
with flash which plays the FLV.And this swf can emdded in the HTML
page.
You can also download free flash videoplayers like JW Player.
Thanks

My computer is completely frozen! need help!
