Powerbook Acting Up - Superdrive Assistance Needed!

Hey guys,
I upgraded my combo drive to a 1x superdrive several months ago and initially had no problems with the upgrade. As of late, however, I have had my slot-loading drive spit out cds (regular cd-r discs and regular audio discs) no less than a few seconds after insertion. It almost seems as if the drive is indicating that it cannot read the discs, but I even tried regular audio cds, so something seems to definitely be not working properly.
Restarting the computer/shutting down seemed to help temporarily. I tried to get the drive to accept an audio cd once, which it did, and then tried a second time, and it went back to spitting out the cd. Is there any way to "reset" the superdrive or check to see that it is fully functioning? [ie: scanning it in utilities?] Is there a firmware update that I am missing? Any and all suggestions/feedback welcome.
Thanks a bunch guys,
Mr. Sofer

Mr Sofer, Welcome to the discussions,
I am not positive this will fix your problem, but one thing I am sure of it will improve the perfomance of your computer.
I burn a ton of media, DVD's mostly, and some CD's when I have used the burner a lot it seems that all the programing that I burn stores on the hard drive and at some point the computer becomes sluggish and then it will either give an error message or just spits them back out or will stop in the middle of playing. The fix I found to this is this,
1st You can use the Dsk Utility, and Verify and Repair Permissions. If you choose not to use the utility furnished in your Operating System, I would for sure use one in these Utilitys.
Download All 3 and run them and then restart your computer and see if it helps.
1st is Macjanitor.

2nd Cache Out X

And 3rd is ONYX

All 3 of these are free and I feel are a must to keep my machine running at peek performance.
I hope this does it for you....Don

This is detailed: I lost my touch pad scroll ability on my desktop when I installed Firefox, I am having a terrible time trying to sync my new Android tablet to my desktop, my desktop Firefox is acting very strangly (I need help trying to use it)

My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

Switching from G4/Powerbook to a new iMAC - need to migrate

I currently own an iMAC G4 and a Powerbook. I have ordered a brand new iMAC that is on it's way. I've read that there is a problem with just connecting the G4 to the new machine and migrating my files. I need step-by-step help with what to do. Is there a really basic tutorial out there? I use these machine for digital photography and know practically nothing regarding computers. I don't even know how to do a back-up other than one time long ago when having a problem I read how to do it and now have no idea where that information is. Basically what I want on my new machine that I have on my old one is fonts that I've downloaded online; actions/effects; printers; CD printer application; PSE6; templates. When they say there is a problem with applications working and that you need to uninstally and reinstall....I assuming they are talking about our own personal programs that we've bought and not the ones that come with the computer like iPhoto, iDVD, etc.
I hate to ask someone to go to all the trouble of writing out directions down to each individual step but maybe it would help lots of others out there and that it could be saved and shared.
I really do appreciate the help and thank you so much.

You connect the two computers using a Firewire cable. You then use Target Disk Mode to get access to the G4's disk drive in order to transfer your data by simple drag and drop. I would recommend against using Migration Assistant when moving from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac. Here's a guide to what you can safely move:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)

Can't get ATV working with Onkyo TX-SR605-URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED!!

I'm hoping someone will be able to give me some advice, as I've now spent way too much time trying to figure out what's going wrong. I've just purchased the Onkyo receiver, which in itself is an extremely daunting piece of equipment after my very straightforward Rotel stereo amp!
I have only 1 HDMI connection available on my 32" Panasonic LCD TV & have, to date, had my ATV connected to it. With my ATV also connected to my amp (via RCA cable), I've been happily viewing/listening to all my iTunes content this way. I understand from reading elsewhere in this forum that I should be able to maintain my HDMI connection to ATV, connect into the receiver using optical, and by so doing, obtain the same results (if not better, thanks to the optical connection) as was previously the case. So far, I've been unable to do this. The only way I've been able to get any audio happening through the speakers is by reconnecting the RCA cable. The optical cable I purchased by the way is a good quality one so I doubt this is where the problem lies - although I guess it's possible.
The 1st problem I encountered when endeavouring to set the system up was that I was unable to get any onscreen information, as I couldn't find an AV input that responded to the receiver's 'setup instructions'. I assumed this would come via the TV's HDMI AV option, given the ATV is the means of connecting to the TV & that's connected via HDMI, but no joy. However, I did some of the basic setup w/o the onscreen visuals, and proceeded to see if I could access my iTunes content with the connections I referred to earlier. As I said before ... no go w/o the RCA cable connected and even then, no sound through the speakers if I reverted to just watching the TV.
I'm driving myself crazy here, and am now at the point where I can see no value in continuing to read & re-read the Onkyo manual. Although I can accept that it's likely to take me some time to learn how to properly drive this beast and get the most out of it, I don't think (from what I've read elsewhere here) that it should be this hard to get what I'm wanting up and running.
Please HELP and save my sanity!
[Thanks in advance to anyone who comes to the rescue ]

jrmccoy, thank you so much! I have never used an optical connection until now, & so was not aware of the necessity to get the 'snap' happening in order to get a good connection. With some trepidation, I applied the required force to the connection to the ATV - sure enough, it 'snapped' in. I tried to get the receiver connection to snap as well, but had no luck there - it seems to be a very 'sloppy' rather than tight connection that slips out with very little effort. However, after pushing really hard on the cable & getting no better connection, I gave up & tried it as was. The result was that , yipee, I now have it all working as I'd anticipated it should. The only thing I still don't have, is the TV sound coming through the speakers - I thought that with the ATV providing the conduit between the TV & the receiver, I wouldn't need any other connection from the receiver to the TV. I suspect now that that was an incorrect assumption! Thought it was all a bit too easy ... sigh.
Once again Apple Discussions have come to my rescue - I honestly don't know what I'd do without the assistance of all you generous people out there with so much & such wide-ranging knowledge!

Urgent Assistance needed on this

Hi, I am fairly new to Java and this assignment is way over my knowledge, if anyone able to assist me on the whole coding, that would be great. Thanks all.
I am thinking on using array and the file heading on hardware.dat can be omitted.
Task-
Imagine that you are an owner of a hardware store and need to keep an inventory that can tell you what different kind of tools you have how many of each you have on hand and cost of each one.
Now do the following:
(1) Write a program (Tool.java) that,
(1.1) Initializes (and creates) a file ?hardware.dat?
(1.2) lets you input that data concerning each tool, i.e. the program must ask the user for input and each of the user input is written back in the file.
The file must have the following format:
Record# Tool Name Qty Cost per item (A$)
1 Electric Sander 18 35.99
2 Hammer 128 10.00
3 Jigsaw 16 14.25
4 Lawn mower 10 79.50
5 Power saw 8 89.99
6 Screwdriver 236 4.99
7 Sledgehammer 32 19.75
8 Wrench 65 6.48
(1.3) Exception handling that must be taken into account-
(1.3.1) User must not input incorrect data
(1.3.2) Cost of the item must be a number
(2) Write another program (ListToolDetails.java) that,
(2.1) lets you list all the tools, i.e. it will read the data from ?hardware.dat? in a proper manner (you can choose the display format), File name should not be hard coded.
(2.2) lets you delete a record for a tool, as an example- you can delete all the details pertaining to the tool ? Wrench. Once you delete the information, records must be updated in the ?dat? file.
(2.3) List the total price(rounded to two decimal places) of each tool, as an example, the total price of all the Hammers is A$128 * 10 = A$1280.00
(2.4) Exception handling that must be taken into account-
(2.3.1) In case user inputs an incorrect file name
(2.3.2) In case user inputs incorrect Tool name (when the user wants to delete something)
Bonus Task
This task deals with the inclusion of Javadoc comments and generation of documentation pages.
Task-
Your task is to add meaningful javadoc comments in all the programs and generate HTML documentation pages.

if u have a problem understanding stuff ask your tutor or prof.
they are paid to teach u this stuff....
second : break the problem in to small task as suggested before, it will help u understand the stuff better
Last thing : No one here is gona do your home work for u
so better start doing some research and if u have an implementation or a logic problem then post them here, sure people will help.
now from what i read i think u need to start looking up on
1) get data from the user : u need some thing like bufferedreader
2) validate the input : check with the upper and lower bounds
3) File handing : research on how to write to a file there are a milion pages there on the web teaching you this stuff

Assistant needs access to boss's calendar on Exchange on her iphone

I have a dilemma.
The assistant already has access to her boss's calendar on her Outlook 2007 on Exchange 2010. But not on her iphone. She has her calendar but cannot get to her boss's calendar. How can I make this work?
We are using Air-Watch MDM to enroll and manage the iPhones.
Thanks,

We are also using AirWatch in my company and have been asked a similar question for some assistants. Let me first state that while it is possible - there are numerous cautions to doing this!
If the assistant's phone is properly enrolled and they receive their data from Exchange, you can manually create another Exchange account on their iPhone for their manager and select what deliverables they would like to sync. AirWatch's SEG (Secure Email Gateway) will use the compliance of her/his iPhone to passthrough to Exchange any valid account on that device. Unlike Outlook/Exchange - there is no view only for the assistant, they will have full control of that mailbox - this gets confusing with things like calendar - because they will get notifications for both meetings and the pop-ups do not indicate which account they are for. (there is some setting changes you can make to set the assistants calendar as the default, but I have not seen notifications on/off per calendar account - only the calendar as a whole).
When we tested this, we are not using certificates to sync the passwords (that's another discussion), so everytime the manager changes their AD password (which we sync with their Outlook password), they would have to go and manually change it on the assistants phone.
In short - it is possible to have multiple accounts on an enrolled device, but the additional ones will need to be manually created (since the EAS payload pulls the Enrolled Information from the AirWatch agent for email setup), they will have full access to that mail account and can get confusing on the calendar side.

Learning java - assistance needed

Good morning everyone!
I've been beating my head against the table trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here, and my wife pointed out that I should maybe..I dunno, ask for help?
Here's the situation:
I'm designing a cell phone keypad with a text field above and a separate clear button to the right of the 12 button keypad. Buttons 1-0, and * and #.
Heres the first of two problems:
My GridLayout is propagating as a FlowLayout I think, either that or it's just ignoring me altogether.
I need to know what mistake I'm making, but the three manuals I've been going through aren't helping me much.
Here's the second and final problem:
My button pressing escapades are having no impact on my textfield. This is definitely a case of can't see the forest for the trees. I know it's an obvious mistake, but I'm getting a bit frustrated so I'm missing it.
And here's my code below, if there are optimizations possible, my pride will not be hurt if you suggest them.
Thank you for your time folks, and thanks for all the assistance you've unknowingly given me before.

Am I adding the buttons incorrectly? I've never done nested panels for an assignment before, at least not with multiple layout types.The best way I've found to test complex layouts is to test each component in isolation. For instance if I wanted to test a gridlayout, I'd create a small app that creates nothing but this:

private JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
public MainPanel()
    buttonPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 3));
    ButtonListener buttonlistener = new ButtonListener();
    for (int i = 0; i < btnStrings.length; i++)
      JButton button = new JButton(btnStrings);
button.addActionListener(buttonlistener);
buttonPanel.add(button);
this.add(buttonPanel); // this is redundant here, but placed here to impress that buttonPanel must be added to the MainPanel to be seen
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
String btnString = e.getActionCommand();
System.out.println("Button pressed: " + btnString);
private static void createAndShowUI()
JFrame frame = new JFrame("ButtonPanel");
frame.getContentPane().add(new MainPanel());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
createAndShowUI();
And then when working, I'd incorporate it into the greater program.

Urgent assistance needed on textfields/labels please!!

I have been trying for days to add labels and textFields to my applet and can only manage to display one.
My assignment instructions suggest I use makeTextField method and call the setEditable method from the makeTextField method to avoid repetition of code.
The following is my code...I must have this done in the next couple of days so if someone could please please give me some assistance it would be really appreciated....also, thoughts on my layout would be great as well...i cant seem to set up my buttons in the correct order.

thanks in advance for anything someone can do for me

I haven't tried your code, but since you use a layout manager, you shouldnt need to think about setting the size for the applet.
And I think when you call the method makePanel the last 4 times, you want to use the returned panel to add your components on. Right now you add everything directly to the panel and never use the panels you create.
And you also reuse some of your components more than once (like e.g. courBackB). You need to create a new button everytime, otherwise if you try to add the same button twice, the second one will not be displayed.
Try to add the components one by one and check it is displayed before you add the next one.
If you want to check what components and their sizes etc, you have on your applet, here is a little trick. Get the focus on your applet and press ctrl+shift+F1. If you run the applet in a browser, you will get something in the java console that displays all your GUI components and a description of them. So
It might help you.
Also take a look of the Java Tutorial for the AWT. You can download it from
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/information/download.html

Assistance needed with new monitor and printing from LR3

I just purchased a new IPS monitor. I have calibrated it using the HP Display assistant that came with it. It is an HP ZR 22w. I saved my calibration as a preset - however - this is not appearing as a profile when I try to select it in the print module. the checkbox for "include display profiles" is ticked. If I allow the printer to manage - the pictures are much warmer than on the IPS display. My printer is a canon mg6120 and I am running windows 7. I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide. Thank you

I think the "HP Display assistant" is a software tool, is that right?
Ideally with Lightroom, you should use a hardware calibration/profiling tool (Spyder, Eye One, Color Munki etc). In particular, you need a monitor profile that contains colour space information. I had a look through the HP Display Assistant user manual, and it appears the software does calibration but it probably doesn't put colour space info in the profile. It'll be better than nothing, but a hardware tool is better.
However:
I saved my calibration as a preset - however - this is not appearing as a profile when I try to select it in the print module. the checkbox for "include display profiles" is ticked.

This is not what you want to do! The profile that the HP Display Assistant creates is for the monitor, and only for the monitor. It gets the right white point and tone curve for the monitor. What you need in the profile drop-down in LR print module is a printer profile, not a monitor profile (except on very special circumstances).
I'm not familiar with the MG6120, but when I googled "profiles for canon mg6120" I got a lot of hits, so I assume profiles are available. It's quite likely that some came with the printer driver, and were installed with the printer software. When you select "profile" in LR print module (you may well have to go to "Other..." to see them all) then there should be profiles for the printer - possible lots of them - one or more for each paper type. If they're not there, see the Canon documentation (or google it) to find out how to load them.
If you can't find any profiles for the printer, then try using sRGB (or probably it's "sRGB IEC..."). Without colour management, your printer will probably expect sRGB images, so this should be roughly right, but a specific profile for the printer is better. This is one of those very special circumstances when something other than a printer profile (and sRGB isn't a printer profile) may be better than nothing.

URGENT: Superdrive help needed.

I have bought the new iMac, which evidently doesnt have an optical drive, so bought a superdrive from apple. Bootcamp doesnt recognise the super drive saying that no usb drive is found. The superdrive is clearly plugged in and working, playing cds so on and so forth.... HELP?

Well, I know Windows will not install from/to any external drive, DVD or HDD, so I would imagine even tho the Super Drive is Mac compatible it may not pass the Windows rules. Have you done a seach of the forums to see if any one else is having your problem?
My only other suggestion would be to have Boot Camp Assistant make a USB Flash drive Windows installer and do it the long way.

Possible San Francisco Bay Area Assistance Needed

Hello,
I'm in a bit of a jam and it's possible (about 50/50) that I may need a bit of assistance in the Bay Area next Thursday or Friday.
Apple is likely going to replace the motherboard on my Mac Pro this week. Unfortunate. It is covered under Apple Care, but the delay impacts my April 19 deadline for my film.
I have about 24 gig of video data from a Sandisk UDMA 32 gig card that I would like to offload so that I can shoot my final footage next weekend. I have a 32 gig thumbdrive we can transfer it to.
The footage was shot on a Canon 5D and I would like to borrow someone's PrPro software here in the Bay Area, if necessary.
Alternatively, I could Fed ex the card and pay for return fedex as well.
Thanks for considering this.

Thanks Hunt.
Looks like I better go out and purchase a copy of the hilarious book "My First Movie" an interview with 20 famous directors about the fiascoes and adventures that accompanied their first film:

I backed up my media, but didn't have a spare MacPro when its motherboard went down!

Messed up Setup Assistant - need to copy TM backups to new ext HD then run Migration Assistant, I think

On a new 27" iMac, I ran the Setup Assistant a couple of days ago to transfer info from TM backups on an external hard drive. Unfortunately, there were clones on there from Feb 2010 (I didn't understand that TM needs to be alone on a HD) and the Setup Assistant picked ran those preferentially so it appeared that I had lost everything since Feb 2010. HOWEVER, the TM backups are still in the Backups.backupdb folder, and I can access each of the individual files. Now the external HD has not only the 3 clones and the Backups.badkupdb but also folders for Applications, Desktop, dev, Developer, home, Library, net, System, User Guides And Information, and Users. Most are dated to Feb 2010, but the System and Developer folders seem to have been updated to 6 Aug 2012 and 8 Aug 2012. The TM backups contain User info for the Office 2008 suite, including Entourage, and this is what I need -- all of my emails, documents, etc.
I have been trying to copy just the Backups.backupdb folder to a new external HD before doing anything else. I have followed the directions given by Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Unfortunately, this yields a nifty error message: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)." I have not found a solution in the Apple communities for this error message in the TM backup copying process - all mentions seem to relate to problems emptying the Trash when deleting TM backups. I have NOT tried the cloning process mentioned in this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/message/16601049#16601049. If the copying process has failed, will the cloning process allow me to pick up JUST the TM backups without damaging the TM backups?
I am thinking that once I have the TM backups successfully copied, I will use that new copy - without the clones - to run Migration Assistant. At this point, will it be better to use Migration Assistant OR go back and delete everything on the new 27" iMac and reload Lion, then run Setup Assistant again? The thought of going back to square one with Lion has me more than a bit rattled, to tell the truth.
Have others had luck with Apple tech support or a Genius Bar visit for such things?
Any guidance or suggestions are much appreciated.

Problem solved by taking the new iMac and the LaCie disk to the local Apple Store. They verified the LaCie disk with Disk Utility (thankfully it passed) then wiped the iMac clean, reinstalled Lion (10.7.3), and loaded the latest TM backup. Everything needed transferred over, so I'm back in business. HURRAY! I am setting up a new external HD for the solitary TM backups, and a separate external HD for clones. And, I now have access to a secure server for temporary storage of critical client files in addition to manually copying critical documents to a flash drive frequently while working on them.

Scenario –
Monthly Training Table - contains scheduled training for an
entire year. This training is displayed on a page per the month the
training should be completed in.
Training Completed Table – contains the information of
what training was completed per individual.
Task At Hand – I would like to display the monthly
scheduled training for the current year and cross reference the
completed training table and if the individual has completed the
training further display something next to the training title, to
signify completed.
Example:
Computer Training – Outlook
* Off. Dev. – Emergency Scene Safety
Fire Suppression – Salvage
I have tried many methods of querying this but have not been
able to achieve the goal. Perhaps I am making this harder than it
needs to be. Hopefully someone in the forum can shed some light on
what I should be doing. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

yes, i see it now - the WHERE clause makes sure only
completed training
of that employee are selected... my bad - i should have
changed that
after you told me that emp_id field was in tc table, not
mt...
ok, here we go... this will be a little more complicated...
try this beast:
<cfquery name="rs_trng_ck" datasource="#datasource#">
SELECT mt.trng_title, mt.trng_month, mt.trng_code,
tcsq.completed
FROM monthly_training mt
LEFT JOIN
(SELECT tc.trng_code AS completed
FROM training_completed tc
WHERE tc.emp_id = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value="#emp_id#">) AS tcsq
ON
mt.trng_code = tcsq.completed
WHERE mt.trng_year = YEAR(NOW())
ORDER BY mt.trng_month, mt.trng_title
</cfquery>
basically, what this does is uses a sub-query in the FROM
clause to
pre-select only those records from tc table where emp_id
field equals
the #emp_id# value, and only then left-joins the mt table to
this
sub-query recordset, which should result in ALL records from
mt table
and only those from tc table where emp_id is correct
the <cfoutput ...> part shoudl stay the same as before.
hope this one works :)

Unlock iPhoto Assistance Needed:, Unlock iPhoto Assistance Needed:

OS X Version 10.8. I just updated the iPhoto on August 14, 2012, and I store my iPhoto on an external 3 TB Drive. I also purchased and downloaded iPhoto Manager on August 14, 2012 which did allow me to export two additional iPhoto Libraries into the newly update one. After all the updates were complete and images showing correctly, I felt safe enough to download the camera's memory card holding 500 additional photos and once they were downloaded I deleted them from the card. I went to shut down the iPhoto Library a couple different ways and it started to automatically "Update Library". After 15 minutes I realized it had stalled out at 65% completion. I then went to the Utility Manger and Forced Quit the iPhoto. When attempting to reopen I received the following message "the iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it". I'm obviously concerned my latest dowload of 500 photos are not stored/saved correctly, and I deleted them from the card but even more concerned I may not be able to access any of my prior photos if I cannot unlock this program. How did it get locked? Should I be afraid to unplug my external or turn my computer off before this problem is resolved? Any and all help will be much appreciated, especially if it's given in the most elementary terms possible. Although I've had my mac for almost two years now, I generally find myself using the Windows system which I had to install to run my business. Therefore I do not know more than 5% of the tricks, shortcuts, and most definitely lingo of Mac to efficiently navigate to a better place.
Sincerely,

LN,
Thank you very much for your quick response! I understand your first two paragraphs, however I have questions on the third and pretty much over my head on the fourth unfortunately.
Paragraph 3 regarding the download of Fresh Crop, is it certain my 500 recently downloaded new photos are not saved into iPhoto because the update didn't complete? Should I wait until I get iPhoto back opened up to confirm they are not there, or are they pretty much gone so move forward with this purchase?
Paragraph 4
I do not know what you mean by "rebuild the library". I had assistance last night exporting two additional libraries into the updated Library with iPhoto Manager and that took an overnight process of updating. Are you saying I need to repeat this process?
Sincerely,
06Deuce
