'Other' takes up everything and the the other types of data is 0 KB

I have a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display running Mountain Lion and I was clearing up some of my unneeded files and when I looked at the "Storage" tab in the 'About this Mac' option, my Macintosh HD read:
Audio: 0KB, Movies: 0KB, Photos: 0KB, Apps: 0KB, Backups: 0KB, Other: 96 GB.
I actually DO have Audio, Movies, Photos, etc stored on my drive, but it doesn't seem to be displayed.
How can this be fixed?

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

1. Does the console application treated as a Sandbox Solution?
2. Do I need to configure CAS policy in wss_usercode.config? and what?
3. What else could be configured to make this work?
I have tried adding the following in wss_custom_minimaltrust.config but no avail.

UPDATE: It has been observed that the issue is intermittent. That is, sometimes the import works fine (event without any configuration of SqlClientPermission in any config file) but sometimes it gives the above error. I'm stuck!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get Error “Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed
Simple solution is to change the trust the trust level to FULL: <trust   level="[Full]"    originUrl="URL" />
In addition, you can modify the wss_mediumtrust.config and wss_minimaltrust.config file under the path “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG”.

Replace a clip or frame with other picture or clip and keep the soundtrack

How do you replace a clip or part of a clip by another clip or still and keep the sound from the original clip in iMovie '08?

How do you replace a clip or part of a clip by another clip or still and keep the sound from the original clip in iMovie '08?
Replace the first clip with the second and then extract the audio from the first clip (Cpmmand-Shift drag) and pin it to the second clip.

It has nothing to do with Firefox -- it sounds like the sites you're trying to go to are already taken down. If that's the case, try clicking the Google's results' "Cached" button, or just try the other results Google gave you.

Leopard iCal (v3.0) takes away functionality and ruins the user experience

Why oh why did Apple DESTROY the usability of iCal present in Tiger with the horrid changes they made to iCal in Leopard? Please, Apple, put it back the way it was.
In Tiger iCal, if I highlight an event, the sidebar pops up intelligently ready for me to enter times, repeats, alarms, notes, or invitees. It was even smart enough to put it to the side with the most screen space.
In Leopard iCal, Apple has taken all that intelligent functionality away and burdened users with way too many unnecessary mouse clicks before en event can be entered or edited.
Now, with "new and improved (NOT)" Leopard iCal 3.0, if I want to add an event in the monthly calendar, I double click on the day, but instead of the sidebar opening all by itself, I must now do another double click on the event itself and yet another click on the EDIT button, all before I can actually enter an event in the real world.
Oh, sure, I can type the name of my event after the first double click, but that's useless for any events with times, invitees, alarms, or notes.
Again, what were the people at Apple thinking? Do any of them actually use iCal?
I check the iCal help and there was something about clicking a button in the lower right hand corner of the iCal window to quicking edit an event, but there is no such button there, only the push pin for to-dos. CMD-I will bring up the event window, but it still requires a mouse click on enter edit mode.
If you agree with me and want iCal back the way it was, please submit iCal feedback to Apple and tell them they got it wrong in Leopard iCal 3.0.

Lot's of folks agree with you.
The following post was very active for a while - 4300 views, 66 post until it was locked without explanation.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201297&tstart=675
I keep thinking, maybe I'll just get used to the changes and still, every single day the use of this core application is a source of constant frustration. I keep blindly hoping that the iCal team will listen to user feedback and examine the usability of this app.
And for the record, it's never been about the info drawer - it's about overall usability and restoring such basic items as one click editing of content on the calendar, being able to have a usable / expandable long event descriptions and being able to edit with one click vs. three.
For just one instance of how they broke this, just try creating a text entry of 200 characters or more in the "notes" field and then see what happens if you add more text. Unlike this web form which automatically keeps scrolling so you can keep typing....it stops and you have to manually scroll from short line to short line. It's just unbelievable - as if they didn't QA the basic functionality with a single user that does anything beyond the most limited use of the app.

Non Financial Accounts,and Balance,Balance Recurring,Types of data and type

Hi Can Any one make me clear for the following?
1.In HFM Account Types we can find Balance and Balance Recurring what it means? is it completely relating to Finance and Accounts Topics? if so give me few good examples to
understand as regards to HFM where this need will come?
2. What are Non Financial Accounts we use in HFM? do we use to load?i if so what is the format like Excel or Data form?
3. What is Head count? what its purpose in relation to HFM? in what situations we have to think and recall about this, mean to say by doing which HFM Activity we can Understand
about this Simply?

1) Balance and Balance Recurring types contain data that does not accumulate from one period to another, and do not translate. Headcount is typically a balance, as is Square Footage, for reporting real estate information, for example.
2) Non financial accounts are typically those which are not currency-related, such as headcount, units sold, number of customers, days sales outstanding, number fo new customers, etc. The entry of this data can be any way other data is loaded - either directly via load file into HFM, through forms, grids, journals, smart view, or FDM, among others I'm sure.
3) Headcount is often a metric for growth. It is often used in ratios, such as revenue or margin by headcount. Even if you acquire a company, there remains a ratio between revenue and headcount, so it's a good metric for organic and acquired growth.

I have firefox on the server. When I click on it, I get a message saying that an upgrade canot be done as other Firefox may be running. There is no other Firefox running. And then the browser opens ups

It actually says that Firefox is already running but not responding and the other window needs to be closed. Cannot find any other window running.
Only happens on the server.
OK on the PC desktop

I have similar problem on Win XP if i have used Firefox 4 but have closed it, then try to open Firefox again; it will give me that error message.
Message says to reboot but that is not always possible if I am in the middle of another program.
I found that if you open the windows task manager (ctrl + alt+ del) >>processes tab
highlight the "image name" firefox.exe and click end process.
Firefox will then restart normally.

How can i take notes, index and retrieve the notes on what i read? I read and can't remember the source.

How can I take notes on what I read, then index/catalog them for search and retrieval on my macbook air or on my iPad?

Why when resending emails on an iMac in Mail do I (and hundreds of others like me) get 'Missing plug-in' instead of the attachments being sent with the document?

It is high time that Apple solved the annoying issue regarding 'Missing Plug-ins' when resending emails with images embedded in them. It is infuriating to see so many users with similar problems and Apple NOT providing a 'fix' in some kind of software update! Why is it proving to be so difficult for this to be resolved by Apple, so that users do not have to rely on chat rooms for other users to try and fix the problem for themselves?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

ATV2 music drops out after 2-3 songs, withou fail. Restarted/rebooted everything and my router shows no signal drops, suspect it is the home sharing but can't get into it to fix it. Am at my wits end.

Recently bought the ATV2, all working well until 2-3 songs played and it drops out and returns to the main menu. I have rebooted/restarted everything, and checked the event log in my router which shows no drop outs in WiFi connection. When I tested it with a movie, it worked, ran for the length of the movie, but when I put on music it did it again. Suspect problem is software, maybe the home sharing and the time until it drops out is close to the same each time. I am at a complete loss, and at my wits end. Please help

Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
