REscue Mode won't work - mi

Hello,
My wife's micro won't go past the creative screen when you start it up. When it is in rescue mode nothing will work. It was on format all night and did nothing. The screen still said formatting. I think it should be done in 6 hours. I was going to reinstall the firmware, but the computer won't recognize the player. Sounds like it's time to send it into creative. I'm hoping someone knows a way to fix it, but I kind of doubt it.

As per the FAQ post, if functions in rescude mode aren't working then the player is faulty. This is probably one of the two most common faults with the player, perhaps caused by a faulty hard dri've.

Here's a hairpuller: how come my Oblivion mods won't work?

Before you point me in the other direction, sending me to this thread and this wiki page, I can say that I'm pretty certain case sensitivity is not the issue here. It's not a load order issue either. It's not an incompatibility issue. Some of the mods I want to try out just won't work (when running in Linux).
This past week I've been playing Oblivion a lot (I'm late to this party, I understand) and I finally decided I'd try out some mods. Not a whole bunch, and not even ones that are necessarily all that game changing. Basically there are a few for performance, a GUI change, and then a few game enhancing ones.
I've checked and checked again and I'm as sure as I can be about this not having to do with case sensitivity. There is one meshes folder, one textures folder, etc. I'm still using a partition from when I built this computer in 2006 that is FAT32 to house my games from when I still used Windows, and the file system indeed ignores cases. That's why I'm so confused.
Mods that work (in Linux w/ wine): DarNified UI 1.3.2, 7lbsBedrolls-OBSE, HorseCommandsv2, SD Skill Diary.
Mods that don't: Unofficial Oblivion Patch, Streamline 3.1, MD Saddlebags v3.0, Expanded Hotkeys and Spell Delete V2, DropLitTorchOBSE, kurteeInventoryIsABackpack, HorseSpeedEqualsPlayerSpeed, P1DmenuEscape, Oss133FrameRateOptimizer.
But they all work in Windows. I had to fire up my Windows install to give it its once-every-3-to-6-months action, fired up the game, and they all loaded up right away without a problem. I can't figure out why.
In Linux they all load up and are detected fine through OblivionLauncher.exe, Oblivion Mod Manager, and TES4Edit.exe. Everything I can think of suggests that they should all be working, but they're not. I've gotten 4 to work. So what gives? Do I have any hope?

The patch is working now, as is the torch one (kind of). The thing I can't wrap my mind around is why, though. Especially since I've been reading all day about how some people have no trouble at all.
I'm playing in Windows for now . We'll see how long this lasts. If I start playing in Linux again at least I have the new UI and it runs OK.
EDIT: Do you think I'd have any luck in packing the mods I've downloaded as .omods? I'll give it a shot later.

CS5.5 Blending Modes Won't Work?

Being an avid user of AfterEffects CS4, the transition to CS5.5 was painless.. Except for the fact that the blending modes don't work. This has halted all my projects.
What happens is that when I select a blending mode, nothing happens. It shows that I set the layer to 'add', but absolutely nothing happens. I just got CS5.5 yesterday, so I haven't changed any settings that could mess it up (That I know of).
Any help would be appreciated!!!

I'm confused. Blending modes require two or more layers. They work to blend one layer with the layer beneath it. But you only have one layer. How are you determining that blending modes aren't working?
See this for basic information about blending modes.

Hard Drive failure - various boot modes won't work, HELP!

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for the essay, but I didn't want to miss out on possible crucial details that could help!
A couple of weeks ago, my beloved 27" iMac had a hard drive failure. It won't boot, but instead goes to the grey 'no entry' sign when booting up. I tried holding Cmd + V on boot and this message repeated itself whilst failing to boot:
"rooting via boot-uuid from chosen/: D94DA2D5-DB38-3517-B05D-70A97AC6EE5B
Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key><IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1"> IOResorces</string><key>IOResourceMach</key><string ID= "2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>
Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@1F,2/AppleIntel5Serie sAHCI/PRT0@0/IOAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCBlockStorageDevice/IOBLockStorageDriver/Hitac hi HDS722020ALA330 Media/IOGUIDPartitionScheme

hfs: late jnl init: failed to open/create the journal (retval 0)
cannot mount root, errno = 19"
I'm not sure how much of that is useful, but I thought I'd copy it all down anyway.
I googled error number = 19 and found articles on an invalid b-tree node and corrupt journals, leaving me to believe that because I recently deleted a Windows Vista partition and reformed the overall HD into a 2TB OSX volume, some windows data may have been left over and corrupted the journal?
So it fails to boot normaly, using Cmd V, and using the OSX install disk, as well as failing to boot from the DiskWarrior 4 DVD I purchased from my local Apple Reseller because I'd heard that it's very good at helping with issues such as what I think my HD is having. I tried Disk Utility whilst booting from the install disk, and tried to repair the drive, and each time I tried it said that invalid content was present in the journal but the disk repair had been successful.
Am I right in thinking that my data is on the drive, it's just that OSX won't register the drive's existence because of a corrupted journal? (the little I know of hard drives is shining brightly through at this point, I'm sure!)
I also tried to boot using target mode by connecting my iMac to a MacBook Pro also running Snow Leopard, but, whilst the iMac clearly went into target mode (bouncing firewire icon on screen), my HD never appeared on the desktop of the MacBook Pro, nor in Disk Utility.
Whilst I have AppleCare, I haven't tried taking it to a mac store yet because of two reasons; 1. The last time I did this I had HD failure on my old 2008 MBP and, whilst I told them to keep the data on it, the first thing they did was reformat the disk. Needless to say, it worked, but I lost all my valuable Data! The second reason is that it's bloody heavy, and I don't own a car!
Before people go on about the way I should have backed up my data, I did, and that's gone as well! D:
System Specs:
First generation of 27" iMacs
2.8Ghz Intel i7 quad core
2TB HD
ATi Radeon HD 4850 512mb VRAM
8GB DDR3 RAM
OS version: not the very latest snow leopard but the one before.
Thanks in advance, and once again sorry for the essay!

I'm not sure about the DW disk. Check that out at Alsoft's website. Apple doesn't provide data recovery services.
Apple has records of your iTunes purchases. However, the licensing for music only permits you to download it once. I'm surprised that you don't have backups.
If you get an external enclosure in which to put the drive then you might try accessing it from the MBP as an external drive. If you have an external drive you could try using recovery software:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Beyond this you would need to send the drive off to a data recovery service which will be extremely expensive.

I have a late 2010 MB Air (mini display port) and a new 2013 iMac (thunderbolt) which I would love to use as an external display. I suspect that target display mode won't work.Any ideas for how to achieve this?

According to the TDM support page, this isn't possible. I tried it with a Mnidisplay port to minidisplay port cable without success. Its a shame that thunderbolt doesn't appear to be backwards compable as I could have achieved this with an older iMac.
Cheers

You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Clamshell mode won't work with OSX Lion

I am running a 2010 13" Macbook Pro and a Dell ST2410 23" external display. I have been using an HDMI to mini displayport cable with this setup for over a year without a problem. Now my monitor goes dark when I try to setup the MBP in clamshell mode. I even tried to lower the resolution on the monitor to see if that would remedy it, and it won't display anything. This problem first started when I upgraded to 10.6.8, and now is giving me problems in 10.7. Help!

assuming that you have an external monitor (you said 23"), usb kbd & mouse. How do you start it up?
I always opened the lid, hit the power and quickly closed before the chime would sound. Do you boot OS X up, then close the lid? Or do you do it as I do?
My PB is on 10.6.8 and never had any issues, besides running a little hotter..

Clamshell mode won't work? (MacBook + LG Monitor)

Howdy!
I've triple-checked the official doc on how to use Clamshell Mode, but I can't seem to get it to work. My MacBook is plugged in and fully charged, the display (LG W2052TG) is connected, as are my USB keyboard and mouse. Yet when I close the display on my MacBook, it goes to sleep and will not wake back up. I've even kept trying for 5 minutes at one point.
I'm trying to avoid using InsomniaX (those warnings scare me)...

Are you sure you are waiting long enough? When I use clamshell mode it takes several seconds, perhaps as long as ten seconds before it works after I click the mouse. Try again, and wait a while before giving up.

Macbook Pro 2009 has gray screen, safe mode won't work

I have a Macbook Pro 2009, with a new hard drive installed in August of 2013. I opened my computer a couple days ago to a gray screen with a prohibitory sign and a spinning gear that will not disappear. I have no backup and tried to backup my hard drive to an external drive in Recovery Mode, but I got an error message and the backup did not work: the image could not be created. So I decided to try Safe Mode, but the Macbook will not enter safe mode. Is there any way to get onto the computer just to backup a handful of files onto an external drive before I format my drive and start over? Am I doing something wrong by trying to enter safe mode? (I held down the Shift key after the chime and released it when the Apple logo and the gear appeared) Any help is appreciated. I've read all the topics in the forums I could find on this issue, but none of the directions seem to help. Thank you.

LisaLoParo,
no, you’re not doing anything wrong in trying to boot into Safe mode.
I can think of three possible alternatives to Safe mode to try:
If you have an external disk, you could boot from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD which came in the box with your MacBook Pro, and try copying files from your internal disk to the external disk;
If you have a bootable external disk, you could boot from it using Startup Manager, and try copying files from your internal disk to the external disk;
If you have access to a FireWire 800 cable and a second Mac with a FireWire 800 port, you could try booting your MacBook Pro into Target Disk mode so that it can be used as an external disk from the second Mac, and try copying files from your MacBook Pro to the second Mac.
You’d only need to try one of these three alternatives; if you try one of them and it doesn’t work, then you’d get the same result by trying either of the other two. Good luck.

HT201263 iTouch won't connect to iTunes; recovery mode won't work

My iTouch (fourth generation) was disabled after the incorrect password was input too many times. Now, it says that it needs to connect to iTunes, but when I try to connect it, it tells me to put in the password, which I obviously cannot do because the iTouch is disabled. I tried recovery mode, but it hasn't worked after repeated attempts. What do I do?

Imac G5 - Sleep mode won't work!

Hey guys!
I bought my iMac in December 2004. Usually, whenever I put my computer to Sleep mode, I will see the pulse light and everything works fine. When I click on the mouse, the screen will turn on and it will display my desktop or however I had left it. But until recently, sleep mode still kind of works, but instead of going back to where I have left it, it turns back on as if I had restarted my computer! I've tried the SMU and there's no progress. Then, today, my computer just would not turn on at all until I've unplugged everything from it and did the SMU. Do you think that I will need to bring it to an Apple store to fix the sleep problem?
Please let me know if there's anyway to fix it.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hey thanks for your replies guys!
Well, weirdly, sleep mode worked today! But I will look up my serial number just to make sure that I got the extended warranty or not on the REV A (what's that exactly?) But then my boyfriend was telling me that it might have something to do with the power supply. Before I posted my question, I have my computer plugged to a power bar. After the incidence when my computer wouldn't turn on, I plugged it directly to the power jack. Could that be a cause as well? I've also unpluged my iSight from it. I'm not sure if those could be possible causes of it. Please let me know.

CLI Mode won't work

I use JBuilder 8 to develop Java projects and everything's fine. however when I try to compile / run
a java file in DOS CLI mode, error pop-up:
C:\>java
Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.4'
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
I tried re-install J2SDK but in vain, could anyone give a solution?

Sounds like JBuilder hijacked your runtime environment, that or the reg key is bad...
I check my own PC which is an XP box, and there is no Java.dll mentioned in the registry
and I do not have JBuilder on it
Check you JBuilder Documentation and thier website to see if this is a known issue...
To me (and I could be wrong) it sound like JBuilder creates entries in the registry that modifies the runtime environment so that it can access it for compiling, debugging and what not...

I have adobe photoshop CS5.1 and i can only click some of my blend modes. Why?

You'll probably get better answers on the photoshop forum (this is the photoshop elements forum)
