Please help - installer won't install, what am I doing wrong?
Your help please! I need to upgrade from Mac OS X 10.4.10 to 11 but my installer just flashes up on the dock and then nothing happens. If I try to do a software update from the 'about this mac' window I just get a spinning wheel of death for hours on end and nothing happens... Can anybody help please? It is driving me up the pole!
Hi brunos mum, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

Sorry, Mac OSX 10.1.3 is too old (from 2002) for any version of Firefox made in the last 5 or 6 years.
Are you sure that isn't 10.3.1? If so, Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version of Firefox that will work. -

My 24" iMac won't boot, what am I doing wrong?
It starts and goes to a small window in multiple languages that says I must restart my computer. Tried to start in safe mode by holding down the shift key but wouldn't come up in safe mode. Second tried taking memory stick out and putting back in but still same thing. Next tried disconnecting power cord for 30 seconds then holding in power button for 10 seconds until I heard a beep and still the same message comes up.
Please help I have a lot of stuff on this computer!

If that's the one, it only came with 1 GB standard. It can have up to 4 GB (officially supported by Apple), while some have put in 6 GB and it worked. In any case, unless you paid extra to get 4 GB, the standard configuration only came with 1 GB... in which case you have only one module. If that goes bad and you don't happen to have another module lying around (who does...) to test it, you can run the Apple Hardware Test from your install disk (run the extended mode) - here is how:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
For now, I'd bet it's the RAM... you could seize the opportunity and get new (and more) RAM; it's quite inexpensive at the moment - check macsales.com.

My MAC OS X Lion vesrion 10.7.5 will upload photos from iPhoto to sites like Facebook or kijiji or photo editing sites and sometimes it just won't? WHat can I do to fix this problem? Very inconsistent?
Thanks so muchNo, that would not be the problem. Lightroom can manage images on any hard drive that is connected to your computer. In all probability your monitor is set so that it is too saturated and too bright. Your monitor probably needs to be calibrated. The best way to do that is to use a hardware calibration device. I have adjusted my monitor using the Windows tools and the adjustments on my monitor. The real "pros" will tell you that is not a good way to do it. And I know that. But it has worked for me. I adjusted my monitor until the monitor looked like one of the images or prints. And then adjusted accordingly in Lightroom.

2. You don't need:

3. use append not setText, after the first line:
outputArea2.setText("Your change is:"+ "\n");

outputArea2.append(""+ five + " Five Dollar Bill(s)"+"\n");

outputArea2.append(""+ dime + " dime(s)"+ " \n");
outputArea2.append(""+ nickel + " Nickel(s)" + "\n");
outputArea2.append(""+ penny + " Penny/Pennies" + "\n");
4. You have to validate the inputfields to check if the entered data is numeric.

Timer won't release - What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
I am farely new to C#, but not new to programming. I try to develop a class that need a timer to update a file. The problem I have is that when the class is release (like a local variable is destroyed when we exit the method), the timer
is still in function updating the file. Here is a sample class I wrote that will show you what is happening:
First, let me tell you that I tried in VS Community 2013 and in VS 2010 with the same result.
Here is the class:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Timers;
namespace TimerDemo
class MyTimer
// Var
private int countVal;
private string internalId;
private System.Timers.Timer otimer; // Timer
// ==================================
// Property
// ==================================
public string Id
get { return internalId; }
set { internalId = value; }
// ==================================
// Constructor
// ==================================
public MyTimer()
countVal = 0;
internalId = RandomId(8);
otimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
// 2 seconds timer
otimer.Interval = 2 * 1000;
otimer.AutoReset = true;
otimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed); // set timer event handler
otimer.Start();
// ==================================
// Timer EVENT
// ==================================
private void timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
countVal++;
// Write to the log
System.IO.StreamWriter oWriter;
oWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter("timerlog.log", true);
oWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + " - Loop # " + countVal + " (Timer #" + internalId + ")");
oWriter.Close();
// ==================================
// Generate random Id
// ==================================
private string RandomId(int size)
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
Random random = new Random();
char ch;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
ch = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(10 * random.NextDouble() + 48)));
builder.Append(ch);
return builder.ToString();
// ==================================
// Destructor
// ==================================
~MyTimer()
otimer.Stop();
otimer.Enabled = false;
otimer.AutoReset = false;
This class simply creates a timer that will write to a file every 2 seconds. It will write the date and time, the Internal ID and a counter that will increment with each timer loop.
Now, add a button to a form with the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
MyTimer lclTimer = new MyTimer();
MessageBox.Show("Class ID #" + lclTimer.Id);
This code will create an object from the class then display a message with the class Internal ID. When you press OK on the messagebox, the button1_click method ends and the local lclTimer object should be released. BUT the timer is still writing
to the file. In fact, it will continue until you end the program.
If you press the button again, a new object will be created with a new ID. The new timer will also update the log file. We are now with 2 timers that updates the file. You may press again on the button to create additionnal timers... but
you will eventually get an error when two timers try to write to the file at the same time.
Here is what the file will look like with 3 timers for a few seconds:
2015-02-24 20:41:27 - Loop # 1 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:29 - Loop # 2 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:31 - Loop # 3 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:33 - Loop # 4 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:34 - Loop # 1 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:35 - Loop # 5 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:36 - Loop # 2 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:36 - Loop # 1 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:37 - Loop # 6 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:38 - Loop # 3 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:38 - Loop # 2 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:39 - Loop # 7 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:40 - Loop # 4 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:40 - Loop # 3 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:41 - Loop # 8 (Timer #48263556)
So here is my question: What did I miss? How can I make sure the timer is destyoyed when the class is released? It seems that the .Stop() call don't really stop the timer...
Thanks.Unlike their counterparts in c++, destructors in c# don't get called when an object goes out of scope. Instead, they are called when the Garbage Collector decides to clean up that object if it unused. If an object is attached to a Timer that is still
running, the Garbage Collector will think that it's still in use and won't try to remove it, so the destructor won't be called.
Generally speaking, destructors in c# are fairly useless.
I think you will need to add a Stop method to your MyTimer class and call it explicitly in button1_Click before the object goes out of scope.
I agree with Ante Meridian. However, rather than implementing a Stop() method, it is common convention to implement Dispose(). This function is explicitly called to indicate "I'm finished with this object, so do what you must to release internal resources
now, rather than waiting for the garbage collector. Moreover, Dispose() is automatically called if it is used inside a
using statement, as in the following example:
using (MyTimer timer = new MyTimer)
timer.Start ();
// Do stuff here
timer.Stop ();
} // timer.Dispose() automatically called when leaving scope -
Help! On-Demand-Process - What am I doing wrong..
I have a 3 select that works great! BUT, I'm trying to create a second one and have brought down to real basics and am missing something because it just won't hit my ODP.
In a HTML Text region I have the following Javascript:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_call_odp() {
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=ODP_SERVICE',0);
alert('In Javascript');
</script>
In a select list "HTML Form Element Attributes"
I have :
onChange="javascript:f_call_odp();"
for my ODP I have:
Name:
ODP_SERVICE
Process Text:
BEGIN
insert into debugtab values ('odp:', sysdate); commit;
END;
The table:
CREATE TABLE "DEBUGTAB"
( "INPUT" VARCHAR2(4000),
"TIMESTAMP_DTTM" TIMESTAMP (6)
RESULTS:
Alert pops up - so it hits the JS
BUT no insert - so it isn't hitting the ODP
???? BILLThe application that it is not working in is the Issue Tracker...
We are using the results of the issue tracker to create a work order application..
I went to the initial version and it doesn't work in it either.
3 steps (if the debug table is created)
1.) Add the Javascript to an HTML TEXT region.
2.) Add the onchange JS to the select list
3.) Create the ODP in the Application Processes.
The simple code is below:
1.)
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_call_odp() {
var gReturn = null;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value ,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=odp_1',0);
gReturn = get.get();
alert(gReturn);
alert('In Javascript');
get = null;
</script>
2.)
onChange="javascript:f_call_odp();"
3.)
BEGIN
insert into debugtab values ('odp: TEST', sysdate); commit;
END;
Works great in a new app!
But I can do the above in a NEW PAGE in my existing Issue Tracker app and it does not work. -

I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc. -
