Mac OS X (10.3.7)

It's quite a while since I used 'Panther' but can you not just use your recovery disc to do an Archive and install to reinstall the OS and rebuild permissions?
Insert disc, power down. Restart holding the "C" button down until the Apple logo and spinning (whatever that little spinning thing is called) shows up. It should launch the OS X installer, choose your language.
When you get to the "where would you like to install" go to option button below the Hard drive and click it. A new window opens up with Archive & Install (to save user date and reinstall OS X) or Erase and Install (for a clean install). Select Archive and Install and 'OK'.
Choose Archive and Install, your OS will reinstall. Once complete, see if that corrects the issue you're experiencing. If it doesn't, instead of some people lording it over you by telling you off for not backing up your data (which isn't always possible depending on budget or practical advice in this case) you may have to cut your losses and do an erase and install. At least it will get your system up and running again, but try the Archive and Install option first.
If Archive and Install works get a cheap external hard drive or internal drive and back up your data for future protection. If you have to perform an erase and install a 2nd hard drive wouldn't go amiss for future back up protection.
Good luck and hope this helps

IOS 5.1.1 update wrecked my phone, can anybody please help?

Hi there,
I plugged in my iPhone 4S into iTunes, and it tells me that there is an update (iOS 5.1.1)
I click update, it downloads the file and away it goes. I left the computer as this happened, it automatically went to install and when I came back there was an error message. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it said, but what has happened is that the USB cable and iTunes symbol shows on my screen whenever I turn it on (telling me to plug it into my PC). However, iTunes doesn't recognise my phone. Neither does my computer, although it plays the USB sound when I insert/eject my iPhone.
I called apple support and they were of no use, I've read several articles that involved uninstalling all apple programs and starting a fresh all to still be without a phone.
I am at my wits end and most definitely need my phone, so I hope that somebody can please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible!

I know that Apple doesn't read these, that was just a way of trying to say that I see on this and other forums that lots of people are having trouble. Yes, I tried the restore and also the turning off firewall/anti-virus. Didn't work.
I finally fixed the problem and learned a lot in the process, especially in talking to some of the guys at the Apple store near where I live. So here are my recommendations to anyone with this problem:
(All this assumes you have a real iPhone/iPad and not a jailbroken one. If you don't have a legit one, forget about fixing it. Every software update is designed to cause problems for jailbroken phones).
First, if you haven't downloaded 5.1.1 yet, and want to avoid the problems, don't do it through iTunes on a Windows machine. Apple pretty much knows that there are a large number of problems that can occur and they try to help you trouble shoot a lot of them. But once your install through iTunes on a Windows machine is corrupted, you might have a lot of trouble getting things to work again. You should download 5.1.1 because of the security upgrades. If you can download it direclty on your iPhone/iPad that should work without a problem. If you can connect to WiFi you should, especially if you don't have an unlimited data plan. If you are on a metered data plan you should never download software updates through your phone connection, only though WiFI or on your iTunes.
By all means try the hard reset approach described above. I did multiple times and it didn't work, but if it can work for you, do it.
Here is another way to do it. If you have another computer available, download iTunes on that computer and connect the device to that computer. Do a hard reset. The other computer's iTunes will recognize the device as just an iphone/iPad. Then wipe the iphone clean and do an install of the updated OS. (This assumes that you have backed up your iPhone recently to your computer or iCloud. If you haven't or don't, you will lose a lot of your data, photos, etc.) Wiping the device and installing the new OS will delete everything on your phone. After this, then connect it back to your first computer, and iTunes should recognize it. Then restore from your backup.
Of course, if you don't want to hassle with any of this just make an appointment at the nearest Apple store and they will fix it for free. They can wipe your phone and then you just restore from a backup.
What the original poster described is what happens when his phone enters "recovery mode." This often becomes very hard to recover from on the same computer which caused the faulty install.
Also, if you do try to uninstall and reinstall itunes, make sure you do it exactly in the order described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 If you don't it won't work.
Good luck

Is this your machine or the company's? Machines that came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed come with system and software install disks that can be used to reisntall the iApps that came with the machine orignally.
If this is your machine and it came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed the disk will look slimialr to one of these:
If it is the company's machine see if they have the disks.
Do a custom install and then use Software Update to update iPhoto to the highest version that is available.

My CS5 start up splash gets stuck at 'Reading fonts...ABSALOM', can anybody please help

Fritz,
You may try the list, especially 4) or 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My iPod has had everything wrong with it! Can anybody please help?PLEASE!!!

Hey All
Please help me with my ipod. Ive been trying for so long to get it working( More than 4 Months) but with no luck.
The problems started when my friend asked me to plug his ipod into my computer to get my songs because his ipod wouldnt load songs from his computer. Well I tried that and it didnt work. Anyway, the next time I tried to update my ipod(which is an ipod mini 4th Gen, i think)it wouldnt update my songs and came up with numerous messages that said something about a corrupt file run chkdsk. Well I looked up what to do and I did run the chkdsk thingy and it said that it fixed a few files so I no longer get those messages. Despite the slight improvement Im still having problems. When my iPod is plugged into my computer it slows the computer right down until iTunes is automatically opened. The ipod then starts to update, but at an incredibly slow rate. It takes it about one hour to update 50 songs. In addition, the ipod gets super, super hot. Now im no computer genius, but i know the USB port that I use with the iPod is a 2.0 thingy so thats not the problem. I have also tried resetting the ipod by pressing the "menu" and "select" buttons on the ipod, as well as restoring it using the ipod updater. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes with no luck and even went back to itunes version 4.0. My ipod has the latest ipod software on it so thats not the problem either. There is one thing I have noticed about my ipod that is rater unusual: the circle (located in the top left-hand corner of the screen) with the arrows on it that rotates when updating keeps flashing on and off in non-regular intervals when updating. Sometimes that little icon wont even appear and its when that icon doesnt appear that the ipod doesnt get recognized by itunes and the computer sees it as a portable storage device and not an ipod.
I know thats alot of infomation to swallow but does anyone have any ideas what the **** is going on???
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Windows XP

You could try to format the iPod in Windows. It does the same thing as restoring and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
You can also check the iPod's hard drive for errors using Windows ScanDisk.
Put the iPod into disk mode as previously mentioned. Go to "my computer" and right click on the iPod then select "properties", then "tools". Select the option to scan the disk for any errors.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.
If that doesn't work, then the iPod needs repair. (to be honest, I think it does)

CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME???

Okay, I'm in this AP Computer Science class where I don't understand ANYTHING and my mom won't take me out of it because she thinks "it will help me in the future"(even though I'm going to be a doctor). So can somebody please help me write a program that simulates a slot machine that outputs three random numbers?? Please and Thank You.

Anybody please help

hi sd gurus
anybody please send the down payment configuration

The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from
the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the
sales order as an optional field !!!
Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)
