System prefernces im stuck with the same screensaver for eternity!!

I have had my macbook now for about 3 months and everyhting has been PERFECT!! but just recently i have been haveing truoble changing my screensaver.
Evreytime i go to change my setting(for the screensaver) my system perfences quits, then i try to reopen it again and it quits again and asks me to report it to apple. i have and i even call them with my apple care but it still does it.( this all started after i change my scrrensaver to ituens artwork) Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this??
ANY feedback would be awesome. thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yep sure have. It seems like when this comes up it usually is associated to using the iTunes screensaver. Try running a Spotlight search for a .plist file that contains both screensaver and iTunes. I don't have one since I've never ran the iTunes screensaver so I can't say specifically what it would be called. But it should be something like com.apple.iTunesscreensaver.plist
If you find something along those lines Trash that .plist file and try going to your screensaver system preferences again.

This was published on MacWorld's site, and it's not a very good tip. Try this instead
ls -la /Users/Shared/*.so
Turns out I was wrong about that. Somebody else suggested something even more complicated and got this reply:

Your terminal statement has an extra "." in it that prevents it from working.
Also, you should add the options -alR to show what is happening, and to search subdirectories.
The revised command looks like this:
ls -alR /Users/Shared/*.so
The above is completely wrong. The command as shown in the article is appropriate.
The "." is not extra and doesn't prevent the command from working. It's specifying that you're listing files that start with a period and end with ".so" with anything in between being matched.
Because you're explicitly searching for things that start with "." you don't need the -a flag.
Because you only care about simple existence and not any metadata you don't need -l.
Because the files of interest are installed in /Users/Shared directly, and not subfolders thereof, you don't need -R.

Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

Extension mobility - can i have 2 extension mobility profiles with the same extension for a 7970 phone and a 7975 phone?

Yes, or simply configure 1 UDP and default device profile for the other one.
EDIT: and actually with those models, you should be able to use just one

HT201210 how long is this restore supposed to take? my phone has been stuck on the same screen for 15 minutes

i plugged up my phone and it said i needed to restore it to factory settings so i did and now its stuck on a screen that shows i need to plug my phone up to itunes and restore it but my phone is already connected to itunes. ive tried resetting my phone and it just goes back to that screen and i have also tried to unplug and plug my phone back but it still keeps getting stuck at the 'preparing iphone for restore' bar thing at the top. how long is this process supposed to take? i was only trying to put one song on my phone and i had done it yesturday with no problem and the day before that. please help

I had this issue also. My last restore took 2 hours, despite restores under 1.x taking something like 20 minutes.
I don't think it's the videos/podcasts, as those don't show up until synchronizing after the restore anyway.
I asked this same question a while ago, but no one responded. I'm not sure if its normal.

How to fill an 8x10 page with the same image for making buttons?

How do you make a button template using the grid? How do you import the image onto that, and how do you fill an entire page with the same image ie- 1" circles

I'm trying to do the same thing but I want 1" squares. I just upgraded from Elements 6 and I did this
quite often for pendant necklaces. I used to go and print individual prints, but the previous options are not there. ;(
And the picture package is only showing 20 (2x2) as being the smallest size. I don't see a custom button.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? We're doing these for a fundraiser and I can't even print anymore.
Thanks,
Kimberly

Still stuck with the same old producer consumer weight problem need help

Hello All,
This is the problem I am stuck with right now.
I have two array lists one producer array list and one consumer array list denoted by a and b
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
5 6 7 8 9
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
2 3 4 5 6
Now we find all those producer consumer pairs which satisfy the criteria Pi>=Ci
We have the following sets
(5,2)(6,2)(7,2),(8,2),(9,2)
(5,3)(6,3)(7,3),(8,3),(9,3)
(5,4)(6,4)(7,4),(8,4),(9,4)
(5,5)(6,5)(7,5),(8,5),(9,5)
(6,6)(7,6)(8,6),(9,6)
Let us done each of them with Si
so we have S1,S2,S3,S4,S5
we assign a third parameter called weight to each element in Si which has satisfied the condition Pi>=Ci;
so we we will have
(5,2,ai),(6,2,bi),(7,2,ci)....etc for S1
similarly for S2 and so on.
We need to find in each set Si the the pair which has the smallest weight.
if we have (5,2,3) and (6,2,4) then 5,2,3 should be chosen.We should make sure that there is only one pair in every set which is finally chosen on the basis of weight.
Suppose we get a pair (5,2,3) in S1 and (5,2,3) in S2 we should see that (5,2,3) is not used to compare to compare with any other elements in the same set S2,
Finally we should arrive at the best element pair in each set.They should be non repeating in other sets.
Given a problem
P0 P1 P2 P3 P4
9 5 2 2 8
6 5 4 5 3
C0 C1 C2 C3 C4
we have So as (P0,C0) and (P4,C0)
assuming that the one with the smaller index has lesser weight PO is selected.In the program I have used random weights.from set S1 we select the pair PO,CO
S1 =(P0,C1),(P1,C1) and (P4,C1)
since P0 and P4 are already used in previous set we dont use them for checking in S1 so we have (P1,C1) as best.
S2=(P0,C2),(P1,C2) and (P4,C2) so we dont use P0,C2 and P1 and C2 because PO and P1 are already used in S1.
So we choose P4,C2
in S3 and S4 ae have (P0,C3),(P1,C3),(P4,C3) so we dont choose anything
and same in S4 also.
So answer is
(P0,C0),(P1,C1) and (P4,C2).
My program is trying to assign weights and I am trying to print the weights along with the sets.It doesnt work fine.I need help to write this program to do this.
Thanks.
Regards.

In your example you selected the pair with the greatest
distance from the first set, and the pair with the least
distance from the second. I don't see how the distance
function was used.
Also it's not clear to me that there is always a solution,
and, if there is, whether consistently choosing the
furthest or the closest pairs will always work.
The most obvious approach is to systematically try
all possibilities until the answer is reached, or there
are no possibilities left. This means backtracking whenever
a point is reached where you cannot continue. In this case
backtrack one step and try another possibility at this
step. After all possible choices of the previous step,
backtrack one more step and so on.
This seems rather involved, and it probably is.
Interestingly, if you know Prolog, it is ridiculously
easy because Prolog does all the backtracking for you.
In Java, you can implement the algorithm in much the same
way as Prolog implementations do it--keep a list of all the
choice points and work through them until success or there
are none left.
If you do know Prolog, you could generate lots of random
problems and see if there is always a solution.

HT5330 My icloud account on my macbook has stuck with the wrong info for incoming mail and I cannot change the info. Somehow the "box" is locked. Any suggestions ?

having problems receiving mail via iCloud.
I cannot revise the setting in Mail for mail from the incoming server
the "box" is jammed and wont let me alter the details.
reluctant to delete the icloud mail box and start again if it's going to delete everything I have already
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The box has never been locked before and now displays a different name to that suggested by Apple for iCloud.
There is obviosly something going on at iCloud as there seem to be large numbers of iCloud users having the same problem....
Works OK with the iphone but not the Macbook !!

HT1766 I did a restore and now my pictures are taking forever to download. Its been stuck on the same number for 2 days now. What should I do?

I had problems with my internet connection and I had called sprint. I was told I had to erase all contacts and settings. I backed it up on iTunes now when I went to restore, first I didnt get half of my apps back (had to go re-download them) and now It shows downloading 43 of 816 photos whenever I go to camera roll. Its been on the numer 43 for 2 days now ?? What should I do or is there anything I can do!

I would let it finish if it's proceeding. Then if they still aren't there, try restoring from backup again (by right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left panel of iTunes and selecting Restore from Backup, then choosing your most recent backup to restore from). Suggest you go to iTunes preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent iTunes from automatically syncing when you connect your phone and overwriting the backup you are trying to restore to.

Does the zte open c receives on going software updates and bug fixes or is it stuck with the same software out of the box

interested in firefox phone

Sorry for being unable to assist you. If you live in a region where you can buy the Alcatel OneTouch Fire E, you may want to consider that device, since Alcatel has offered updates for the phone from Firefox OS 1.3 to Firefox OS 2.0.

My company uses Creative Cloud subscription (Photoshop CC 2014) for one of its photographers and wishes to add another user/install with the same IT account, how can we sign up another user?

Essentially can we add another user to the existing account and add the new payment for the yearly subscription, I seem to have seen somewhere on your account site(cant remember its not very intuitive) that 2-3 systems can log in with the same credentials.
How can we set this up without enrolling with yet another email ID, etc.?
Thanks!

You can cancel the individual CC & opt for CC for team in which number of seats can be purchased.

Stuck with the apple and the scrolling gear while booting

Hi there
i am using my mac for more than 2 years , i did not format it or even fix any thing into it but now something bad happend...
accdentaly my genius friend preesed the power putton for more than 5 seconds to start up the computer and i heared a sound and a the normal flashing light under the track pad and suddenly i was stuck with the apple gray booting screen and the scrooling gear and the computer does not go further .. i left for 2 hours and it still stuck with the same screen ... try to restart do any thing no results also ...
NOTE: THE BIG PROPLEM IS THAT I PUT A PASSWORD FOR THE FRIMWARE AND I FORGOOT IT SO I CAN NOT USE THE FOLLWOING:
1-the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
2-the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
3-the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
4-Diagnostic volume of the Install DVD.
5-mode by pressing the Command-S key combination during startup.
6- a reset of Parameter RAM (PRAM) by pressing the Command-Option-P-R key combination during startup.
Requires the password to use the Startup Manager, accessed by pressing the Option key during startup (see below).
7- Safe mood.
8-Single mode acsses and the other one i forrgot its name.
SO I FIGURED THERE IS NO WAY BETER THAN THE PRIVIOUS WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROPLEM
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR ANY THING SO I CAN FIX THIS THING ?
Thanks in advance >>>
iBook G4 Mid 2005 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I was mistaken about the PMU..with a little more digging I found that Open Firmware password can be removed if you change the amount of memory installed.
I found this info here: http://archive.macosxlabs.org/documentation/firmwaresecurity/faqs/faqs.html#remove_passwordprotection
The following is a link from Apple's site to download the user's manual for your iBook:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG4(Mid2005)_UsersGuide.pdf
It provides the instructions to add or remove memory from the machine. If you do have additional memory installed then you'll be able to remove the memory, and reset the PRAM, that way your password is gone. Hopefully from there we can figure out and fix your startup issue.
