Need Help: Computer Wont Load!!!

ok here is what happened. my girlfriend was using her computer last night and it froze...she tried to restart it but it wont restart.
it starts up but just stays at the gray screen with the apple in the middle..what can we do...is the computer dead?

No, things will stay the same. The actual steps are:
1. Inserting the disc, pressing the power button, and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the C key until you see the spinning gear icon appear on the grey splash screen.
2. After the machine has booted, pick your language, and when the Installer window appears, do not press Continue, but go to the Utilities menu in the menubar and open Disk Utility.
3. In Disk Utility, choose your normal startup volume in the pane on the left and then click Repair Disk. If any errors show in the window, run Repair Disk again until you see 'The volume appears to be OK' in green.
4. Quit Disk Utility, quit the installer and attempt to restart into your regular startup volume.

  • Help-Safari wont load any pages-others having same problem

    Safari wont load any pages. Tried reinstalling Safari. Nothing. Zip. Notice that people on the Safari for Windows board are having the same problem.
    WHAT IS GOING ON? Anyone know?
    I get the menu bar, but not Bookmarks, etc. Cannot see a blank page. Cannot open a blank page, BUT my efforts (Untitled and Untitled 2) are reflected in the Dock. A right-click there shows that the pages are open, but obviously invisible.
    I really need to fix this.
    Firefox works. As do other apps.
    Message was edited by: mashamax
    EDIT:
    The last thing I did before this happened was open a .pps file I got in email. If I do what was suggested in the Safari for Win post where someone is having the same problem: empty the cache, everything becomes greyed out. Its as if everything becomes invisible.
    If I click on a link in Apple Mail, the URL shows up in the dock right-click as if it has mounted, but it hasn't. No window. Nothing.

    Do you actually have a data plan from your cellular provider?
    Being connected to 3G does not automatically indicate that a data plan exists on the account or is even set up correctly on the carrier side.

  • New to Photoshop (CS4Ext) and need help with basic loading of images to new folder.

    Just purchased CS4Ext and installed it. It's not showing up on my desktop as a quick entry icon. I want to simply load images from a portable hard drive (USB) to a new folder in photoshop so I can review them and begin to select  and separate out some of interest to manipulate  and share or get ready to print. It 's the most basic help one can need butI'm jut not clear on the workflow steps . Would appreciate someone walking me through the steps .
    Thanks much

    Let's see…   First of all, this is the Photoshop Macintosh forum.  Installed applications never, ever show up on your desktop as a "quick entry" icon on a Mac.  Are you on a Windows PC maybe?

    Just select them with your mouse in the Finder and drag-copy them into the new folder.  Done.

  • Need help - How to load data which contains \r\n

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we need to load the data from a .dat file, with fields separated by | symbol and the line separator specified as '\r\n'
    INFILE '/scratch/xyz/abcd.dat' "STR '\r\n'"
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
    Can you please help us load data which contains multiple lines in a single field to a database table field , keeping the line separator in ctl file as '\r\n' itself.
    When we try bringing the '\r\n' within a text field enclosed in "" , the '\r\n' , sqlldr considers it as the end of that record and not as a data which needs to go into a column.
    One option we have is to have the extraction process create the data in such a way that the fields with multiple lines , be brought in the .dat file enclosed in "" as
    "Test
    "|8989|abcd
    where the new line in the first field is just '\n' .
    Is there any other way in which the requirement can be addressed.
    Version: SQL*Loader: Release 11.1.0.7.0
    Thanks,

    In addition, you would need to know the character set encoding of the csv files (e.g. the code page used).
    Basically you need to have the facts about both client (csv file) and database character set.
    As suggested, use the available documentation - it's there to help you!

  • Really need help with a loading screen

    Ok, here's my problem, I'm making a puzzle game and I can't seem to make my loading screen work with my main menu. The loading screen is represented by an image filling up with colour where the colouring takes place by means of a thread (and there's a string as well that paints the %) . Now the loading screen is supposed to appear after i click the start button from the main menu and after completely filling up (or when the tread dies) the game panel is suppposed to be show on screen. Between the loading I initialize all the components for the game. Now, when I press the start button, the whole screen freezes (for the duration of the loading thread) after which the game screen appears. What puzzles me more is that if i don't add the game screen the loading screen works like a charm.
    Here's some of the code:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    if(e.getActionCommand().compareTo("Start")==0){
    //initializing the panel for the loading
    ds=new Load();
    //initializing the thread that makes the panel rainbow dream
    anm=new Ompy();
    x.remove(pent); //pent is the jpanel containing the main menu with the customised buttons, and x is the reference to the current JFrame's content pane
    x.add(ds);
    pack();
    /* MediaTracker tracker=new MediaTracker(this);
    tracker.addImage(ds.pic.im,2); //i tried using a media tracker to wait for the image of the loading jpanel
    tracker.addImage(ds.fill.im,2);
    try{tracker.waitForID(2);}
    catch(InterruptedException ie){} */
    anm.start(); //i start the thread
    //without the folowing code the loading screen works perfectly
    some code
    Winx gs=new Winx(); //the panel containing the game interface
    some code
    while(anm.isAlive()){}
    x.remove(ds); // i remove the loading screen
    x.add(gs); //i add the game screen
    anm=null;
    ds=null;
    setVisible(true);
    gigaslave.requestFocusInWindow();
    pack();
    //here ends the code that shadows my loading screen :((
    else {System.exit(0);}}
    }I appreciate your help.

    Thanks for all your help ...this is what i have so far and am working with:
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class TVRemote{
         int volume = 5;
         int channel = 5;
         public void channelUp(){
              if(channel < 25){
                   channel++;
         public void channelDown(){
              if(channel > 1){
                   channel--;
         public void volumeUp(){
              if(volume < 10){
                   volume++;
         public void volumeDown(){
              if(volume > 1){
                   volume--;
    public class VCRemote extends TVRemote{
         String tape = null;
         String mode = "Stop";
         public void insertTape(String t){
              tape = t;
         public void ejectTape(){
              tape = null;
         public void setMode(String m){
              mode = m;
         public String getMode(){
              return mode;
    public String getMode(){
              if(tape == null){
                   System.out.println("There is no tape");
              return mode;
    I know it does have to be set as 2 files....I still need to put in a rewind and fast forward option would that be done the same way that public void insetTape is done? also I was wondering how i will interface it with the user? Cause the only output i see is a display message that there isn't any tape in the vcr.
    Thankgs again for everyones help.

  • PLEASE HELP Itunes wont load

    replying to duecer
    The iTunes folder can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the MyMusic folder."
    the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post. (heads up: that thread may take some time to load. leave it for a few minutes until it loads fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post by Nigel.)

  • Need help with Elements loading RAW images since I switched cameras.

    I recently switched from a Canon Rebel XT to a Canon Rebel T1i. I have Elements 6.0 and was able to see RAW images with my old camera.

    The ipod and iphone will not connect.  This has never been a feature of either device.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internt tethering where provided by the carrier.
