Powerbook 15 Problems.....Reboot in many languages...

My father-in-law just bought a new Powerbook 15 and after a few weeks of using it is experiencing some problems. Every time it reboots a message comes up saying something about needing to restart the computer and it is in many languages...and it continues to come up with the same message every time I reboot. Any ideas?

It's a kernel Panic.

HT1695 My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It used to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

MBP 17 screen freezes in middle and many languages says restart!!!

I have a Macbook Pro 17inch- bought 3 months ago. This problem just came up recently when I was watching youtube videos and browsing web. My computer just froze and a black translucent curtain comes over it and in many languages says that you need to power off your computer, and then turn it on again.
I'm not sure but this is probably happening after the last software update i did.(updated: 1 week ago, this problem occurred for about 3-4 times in this past week)
I'm glad it didn't happen when I was working on my research paper.
Any ideas mates?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like a kernel panic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
Here is another link that might help with troubleshooting:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
It's always prudent to boot from your install disc and repair your boot disk after forcing a shut down with the power button. Also good practice to repair permissions after downloading software, although there will be many permissions that do not get repaired.
Good luck!

I am having problems rebooting my mid 2009 macbook pro (grey screen other issues), need help!

I am having problems rebooting, I have experienced the same problem as others with the grey screen but my case is a little different, It started with my mid 2009 macbook pro acting a little slower than normal, the screen would freeze, mouse wouldnt move and i'd be forced to "force reboot" this went on for a couple of days until i was tinkering with the wifi connection and it froze again. I had to reboot and this time i noticed that it took a long time to get to the login screen. i put in my password and it went into infinite load (i also tried the guest account and other accounts with same result). i tried rebooting again and the same thing would happen. after several reboots, the screen just stayed grey, sometimes with the apple logo and gear sometimes without it. Since its a 2009, (and for the most part, still works like a champ) i decided test the ram, i took one stick of ram out at a time to see if i could notice anything wrong with them. when i stuck just one in, the mac was still having the same problem rebooting. i pulled that ram and and stuck in the other and i noticed that this time the apple logo never appeard and a big crossed out circle appeared. figuring that the ram must be the problem, i ordered new ram and installed it. i noticed that when i rebooted for the first time with the new ram it was rather quick and took me straight to the login screen and i was able to log in with no problem. at this point i thought the problem was solved, but i noticed the macbook still acting funny. at first, none of my files appeared on my desktop or in the finder window. after about 20 minutes, everything magically popped up. i also noticed long pauses/freezes with the colored pin wheel spinnig. i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen just stayed black. i tried rebooting again, and again i got the grey screen with no signs of being able to log in... i waited about 20 minutes and tried to reboot again and again i was able to log in, however the macbook is still acting slow and will freeze with no signs of unfreezing without a reboot.
my macbook is 5 years old and has plenty of miles on it, so i understand if the thing needs to be replaced alltogether but does anyone know what could be the issue? could the bad ram have corrupted the hard drive in anyway? would re-installing the OS fix it?? and if so, how would i do that if i downloaded mavericks from the app store? are there any other solutions to this problem?
all my files and what not are backed up on an external HD so theres nothing on it that i'd miss desperately if i had to whipe the hard drive but id really like to get her working again without any whiping of the HD. if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Many Languages in an iOs App

Hi,
Sorry for my bad English, I'm French !
I'm making an iPad game with Flash and Air. You can see the flash here : http://thomas-ruffier.com/divers/lebebepoulpe/
The home screen is in French, and i want to translate in many languages.
But how can I get the device language ? I want to change the homescreen for an English/German iPad.
Is it possible ?
Thanks a lot.

Did you try the Capabilities.language? It returns two letters code for the most common languages (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Capabiliti es.html).

6700Slide Problem In SMS Writing Language

Hi
Is the last 2 or 3 Updates that releases For 6700Slide , There is not Farsi Language IN SMS Writing Language.
Please add this Writing Language.
I Should Add this : I tested MEA10 FARSI product codes , like: 059B4Q4 & 0589621 & 0589499

farby wrote:Irrespective of the Product Code, a Language Pack can be separately added ..but ONLY at Nokia Care..
I have a store and I see this problems in some phones that the customers bring to my store.
any way thnak yoy for your answer , but I want nokia add this to firmware , all phone have the farsi language except in SMS writing language area , so the problem is not adding language pack , it is editing the existed one ,

TS3276 I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Select: Play user interface sound effects
And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make a selection from the: New messages sound pop up menu.

Where can i get info that how many languages suppo...

Where can i get info that how many languages supported by default in Nokia phone?
If i buy it in UK,how?
Many thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you buy it in the UK, you would expect it to support your region's main languages or for Europe. for example, i am in asia-pacific region (australia) so the languages i have available to me are English, Pilipino, Tieng Viet and im guessing Japanase/chinese. so how many languages it supports depends on your region of course.
to check what languages are in your phone, goto Settings > PHone > Lanuage Settings> Phone Language (this is for S40 devices, no idea how to check in S60)
i hope this helps

PowerBook will not reboot

Help!? Powerbook refuses to reboot. (Tiger 10.4.1.0)
Upon starting the chime happens, I get the folder with the question mark and the gray start up screen. Little swirly starts to rotate than-bam shuts down.
Here is the results of what I have tried: Restarted in Terminal and used the fsck -fy (thanks for your post Antonio Rocco!) this did not work.
Put it into Target mode and ran Disk Utility:
Clicking Verify Disc gave the following:
Verifying volume “TimsLaptop”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
The volume TimsLaptop needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Clicking on Repair Disk gives the following:
Verify and Repair disk “TimsLaptop”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
So next I loaded up Drive Genius, Clicking on Verify gave the following:
VERIFY FAILED: Volume bitmap shows block 11476261 to be free but the catalog shows it to be used. (1508378,11476261,1)
Clicking on Repair gives the following:
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
Repair Failed.
Clicking on Rebuild gives the same (above message)
Clicking on Repair Permissions:
Repair Permissions Failed: Error (-9973) "Permissions are not enabled on the disk" encountered attempting to verify/repair permissions disk7s3 TimsLaptop
So then......my last chance and alas still no good...I tried Techtool Pro 4.
Running the suite of tests gives the following:
Disc Controller-Passed
Read Write-Passed
Volume Structure-Failed
I have no idea what to do next. Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Try Disk Warrior, from Alsoft.
It has been shown to work.
Good luck!

Someone who have advice for a folio production in many languages

I'm sitting right now in the planning stages for dps which will be published in at least 18 languages.
Thinking now of a multi-folio viewer where there is a folio for each language. Does anyone have a better solution?
Does anyone have any advice? maybee examples of other dps in many languages? We have a Professional Edition.
Are grateful for all tips and advice
/Ake

This has come up a few times before. You can use the filter feature of DPS to apply a language to each of your different folios, and then use the filter UI in the app (or via a custom store/library) to restrict the list of issues to just the language the reader cares about.

Application with many languages

hi
I wanna to develpp an application that has many languages(in tools menu you can swith from a language to another), but don't have any idea on how do it, must i announce this in the uml diagrams or just into the implementation phase and how can i do it in java language.Thanks for your time.
Have a good day.

Yes, this is something that must be included in the design phase. And if you truly have no idea how to design it, my advice would be to hire somebody who does to help you. Or, if you have plenty of time, then the Sun site is a good place to search for "internationalization". You will then find a good tutorial, and references to other resources that you can use to dig into the subject yourself.

Can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

XCode is Apple's official SDE (as in Software Development Environment). It is meant to be used to develop all kinds of full-fledged applications, which are organized as projects. To use it that way, you run the main XCode front end, called appropriately enough Xcode. In the older versions of the product, prior to Lion's v4.3.x, everything was found inside the /Developer folder located at the root of the boot volume. (If you ever move on to Lion, XCode 4 is now an app found in the Applications folder and there is no longer a /Developer folder.)
An alternate way to access the compilers is via command-line mode in Terminal, on traditional Unix fashion. After installing XCode, it will have set up the PATH variable to point to the appropriate directories so that gcc and its ilk are directly accessible. For instance (note that silverflash is the name of my Mac and my userid is macjuan):
silverflash:~ macjuan$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
silverflash:~ macjuan$ gcc -v

PowerBook installation problems...

Anyone have any ideas on this G4 PowerBook installation problem. I haven't seen anything in any other threads about this...
I purchased a Leopard family pack a week and a half ago and the installation went without a hitch on my Intel Mac Mini. I thought I would give it a try on my G4 PowerBook... A week and a half later I am still trying...
Everytime I try the installation I get about a 1/4 of the way through and if I am lucky (?) a yellow triangle pops up and states that some of the system files were unable to copy onto the Macintosh HD (usually the system just freezes though. I have let it sit for 8+ hours and the progress bar does not move). I have read through the installation log and it has pages and pages of the same error "Unable to locate DB Handler 1". I have tried other installation methods thinking that the system did not like the "Upgrade" option. I have tried "archive and install" and "erase and install" and still nothing. I have even tried putting the Mac Mini in "Target Disc Mode" and installing via Firewire (thought maybe I had a finicky DVD drive in the PowerBook) but I get the same error everytime.
I called Apple that day after purchasing Leopard and after hours of being on hold I was told that the Leopard DVD I purchased is defective (kind of odd since the installation went perfect on the Mac Mini). Apple is supposed be sending me a new DVD but I am still waiting (it has been a week and a half and 2 more calls later).
Anyone have any ideas?

Me and my friend have PowerBooks and we both had this problem too! im almost positive the disc isnt defective because mine has worked great on other computers too. Anyways i found a solution to this problem. Restart your PowerBook holding "T" then it will go into Firewire mode. Connect a firewire cable to the Mac mini and a hard drive should show up on the desktop of the Mac Mini (thats your PowerBook hard drive)
Put the Leopard Install DVD in the Mac mini and proceed to install
When install location screen shows up make sure to choose the PowerBook Note: if you dont usually it will default to the other computer and that will clear your hard drive.
Then start installing after this you shouldnt have any problems.
When the computer starts up it will show up on your Mac Mini display all you have to do is shutdown the Mac Mini and Powerbook and disconnect the cord. thats it! Good Luck
