Spotlight ramdomly started over
I got on my PowerMac G5 2.3x2 this morning and my hard drives were really going to town. I looked up and saw Spotlight was indexing. I clicked on it and it says it's indexing my computer and will take 15 hours.
That's really strange. No external hard drives, no new hard drives and no new data. But it's starting over. I guess that it got corrupted or something.
I've had this particular PowerMac for about 2 years, so obviously Spotlight has ran before.
Any ideas?
10.5.1 was supposed to fix this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307053
Did you try applying the standalone version of the update?

This can be applied on top of the Apple Update version and I know doing this fixes some permissions problems.

When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?
Dear Jody..jone5

If the issue persists, try signing out of your Apple ID and then sign back in.

I am trying to sign into iCloud and I am informed "THIS APPLE ID IS VALID BUT IS NOT AN iCLOUD ACCOUNT". Which makes no sense to me. But in the mean time I have purchased some songs and I can't get them on my ipod nana because I can't sign in. Can I delete this ID and start over?????
OK, I just click the "cloud" in my itunes account and re-synced my ipod nano and I now have the songs I bought, this was really a stupid venture. But I am now enjoying my purchases on my ipod. SORRY TO HAVE TAKEN UP THE SPACE

Many web sites have links to multiple PDF files. I have no trouble reading the first PDF file, but if I try to open a different one, I always get the first one I opened. Firefox ignores the other links and goes back to the first one. The only remedy seems to be to close Firefox and start over again. This is a hassle for sites requiring a username and password to enter. What's wrong here?
Do you have Adobe Reader X or Adobe Reader 9.something?
I think this is a problem with the newest version of Adobe Reader which came out about 5-6 days ago. -
Data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again
Hi,
My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over
again. Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you
have any thoughts on how to fix this. Also, I tried to set up my
vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I
choose. However, at the same instance that the data acquistion
time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what
I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Datalog1 71805.vi 1252 KBHi,
Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added
comments as to what I think I am doing. By DAQ time, I mean the
first column of data that is in the data file that I attached
previously. I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so
that I can program in my office. I do, however, have the same
problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx
using my instrument.
I hope this clearer. If not, I'll try again.
Thanks so much!
Sherri

"Unable to load replica"- Can I just start over???
I am just in the beginning stages of setting up a new server. When it came time to create network user accounts I was unable to and upon further investigation realized that the open directory isnt properly set up.
Long story short, since I have no user accounts to worry about, is there a way to just start over with my open directory?If you have nothing created, you can start fresh. You may not need to do a full restore. If the UI is not purging everything you can use:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
Restart the server and then try again.
But before you start, make sure that you understand the DNS requirements before starting. Without proper DNS, setting up OD will be an exercise in futility.
DNS is first. This is the most critical piece. Do Not Skip. Without DNS, you have no foundation to build the rest of the services.

I downloaded ios7 and now some apps won't open even after resetting don't won't to lose my info by deleting and starting over.. What to do?
Try close all inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen -
^^ that's the question... Want to delete the current and start over with the one I've already created, but want to keep all my songs and apps. Is it possible?
You can have apps and music from multiple IDs on your computer or your phone, but you will need the password for each one to install updates or to reload the content. You cannot merge the content from one ID into another, however.

How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or Password. If I delete my appos and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased (like the ones for $5 +....
Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well. -
How do I start over with my mac book pro
I used disk utility and found my hard drive to be corrupt. How do I start over and clean this up?
Backup your Users data off the computer to regular storage drive (not TimeMachine), hold c boot off the 10.6 and use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the entire drive of everything, this will map off any bad sectors and if you have enough spares, the drive shoudl work fine again.
Reinstall OS X, setup with the same user name, Software Update until clear, install your programs from fresh sources and return files from the storage drive, don't use TM to restore it's also corrupted image, just have to start all over again.

I use my MacBook Pro (Late 2009) for EVERYTHING and I have loaded so many apps, even doubles of some, I think! My computer is running really SLOW and I think it is because I don't have enough memory.
I just installed the new Adobe CS6 and that was a BIG mistake. The spinnning wheel of death doesn't stop! I wish I could load that program on my computer so I can use it "on the go", but I can't stand the spinning wheel!
I want to clean up my computer and get rid of EVERYTHING on it!! Then, re-install the factory settings to run Lion. I believe this will make the wheel stop spinning.
However, how do I make sure that all of the extra stuff that is attached to the app, ( including all the cache') is deleted too? I don't want to have to buy MacKeeper!
I am hoping the computer wizards or the apple team can give me an answer on how to clean up everything and start over. I have saved everything on my desktop mac.Thank you so much for the help! I had heard bad things about MacKeeper and I don't want to screw up my macbook any more than it already is! I will do as you suggest. Do you believe this is the best solution for the problem I described?
Should I load my Adobe Creative Suite 6 (in the cloud version) on an external hard drive?
I am so tired of this spinning wheel....should I avoid putting the CS6 on my macbook pro altogether?
I have it on my desk top mac, but wanted to be able to take the photo editing with me when I am "out and about". I know I should probably buy the ipad, which would transport much easier, but even the ipad probably doesn't have the capacity to hold all the Adobe CS6 apps, correct? -
My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!
So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.
