The operation of my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8) has been frequently interrupted by an unexpected shutdown. How to solve the problem?

Dear Sirs, owners and managers
Apple Support:
I appreciate the opportunity given to request either always valuable assistance of masters.
It happens that I have been supporting, for some time, inopportune and unexpected shutdowns
of my Mac, with losses mounting and haul what I write in TextEdit.
I ask, in this situation indigestible, a help of you to resolve this anomaly and thus be able to
take back a firm and smooth operation of the MAC.
Sincerely,
Ricardo Cutolo

Given your problem statement:
inopportune and unexpected shutdowns of my Mac
Unexpected hard shutdowns are usually either severe operating system corruptions, or they're triggered by hardware errors. Bad memory, bad processors, bad power, bad disk, bad main board, etc.
A likely first step is to archive (back up) your data onto an external disk. Get a good backup.
After that (and possibly a second, verified, external-disk backup), check your system log for any potential clues that might be logged there. If there is nothing obvious, then ensure that all external devices (other than a keyboard and mouse) are disconnected, and see if the problems persist.
If you continue to have problems, then you'll likely have to boot the DVD installer dis and use Disk Utility to wipe the disk, and reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard onto the disk, and migrate your archive back in as part of the installation.
If the problems persist after the reinstallation, then it's probably a hardware error with whichever Mac is involved here. If this is a new Mac or under support, call Apple support and see what they have to say. If you have a local Apple store, you'll check with the folks at the Genius Bar for assistance.

The Adobe Reader ADDON for Firefox 4.0.1 does not work correctly. Do you have an idea how to solve the problem?

I created a fancybox displaying a pdf-file in an iframe on my website http://www.agbcbonn.de/pages/activities/2011.php . It works fine with IE but in Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1 the mouse-wheel controle is lost after closing the box. You can only get back controle of the mousewheel if you klick to another window and then go back but this is really annoying to all users.

Thanks Roger Wilmut1 for your reply. I have Mac OSX 10.7 Lion and iOS5 . And since my question I have solved my own problem by going to System Preferences and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. I added my email addresses, including iCloud, merged the data for contacts etc. And found the missing link I needed to connect iCloud to my iPhone, and Mac calendars and more. Its now perfect.

How to solve the auto word break problem in Arabic language Flex project

Hi, I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 to develop a game in Arabic. Now I have a problem with the auto word break on the TextArea Control.
The output looks like this (Sorry I can't type arabic, so I use English instead)
I don't know any A
rabic text
The expected outpit should be
I don't know any
Arabic text
My settings of the textarea are fine in English version games. But just didn't work in Arabic. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi Rodger,
Sorry to reopen this thread again. I was puzzled by the data format in Motion-DDK.
From the Motion-DDK, if u32, i32 and f64 data are passed to and from the controller, a specific format must be followed as below:
u32:
u32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (u32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (u16) u32data;
i32:
i32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (i32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (i16) i32data;
f64:
f64—big endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
f64—little endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
My first question: is the "?" symbol means the >> (shift operator) or something else?
The second question is: if "?" means ">>" in this list, all the u32 and i32 data are always transferred in big-endian order. Is it the only correct way to deliver the i32 and u32 data? Or I can pass the u32 and i32 either in little-order or big-order depending on my platform?
The last one: could you provide a feasible C code on how to convert the f64 data to u16?
I first followed the format in the list to convert the f64 data, but met with a lot of compiler errors in VC++. After checked with MSDN, it is said the convert process is double(f64)->long(i32)->unsigned short(u16). But the decimal part of double will be truncated during converting to long...
So, could you help me with some very simple sample code on the convert process?
Thank you for your support!

I am having trouble sending an audio signal from my computer (mac pro early 2009) to my TV. Is there some interface or adapter that allows /enables the audio input from my computer to be sent to the TV (R,L signal?) any suggestions

I am having trouble sending an audio signal from my computer (mac pro early 2009) to my TV. Is there some interface or adapter that allows /enables the audio input from my computer to be sent to the TV (R,L signal?) any suggestions

just the audio, eh?. If you were using DVI or DisplayPort that might be different, but for audio alone, it shouldn't be that hard. Just grab a 3.5 mm stereo plug to 2 rca cables adapter. Plug the smaller end into the back of your Mac Pro (or the Front), where you see either the headphone or speaker icon). Alt-click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen to show all audio inputs and outputs. Make sure it's set to Line Out. Plug the red and white end into the audio in jacks on the back of your tv and set it to the correct input. I don't know if your tv will allow just the audio to play. Usually one has to connect up something else, but hopefully I'm wrong. If you were using DVI, or DisplayPort, you'd need an active DVI--HDMI adapter or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, but
I don't know for sure

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system. My Audition program has been working fine for years now. But, there is a problem I can't solve. All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio

I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system. My Audition program has been working fine for years now. But, there is a problem I can't solve. All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio reaches the one hour point. From there on, the left click will not give me the drop down menu in order to copy and then paste into an Excel sheet I then have to submit for the proofing purposes. After the one hour mark, I can only control/c in order to highlight, then when I slide up to my Excel sheet, I'm able to right click and paste. Why is the program not, all of a su allowing me to left cllick the mouse and have a drop down menu give me the option to "copy, " as it does for any time signature markers up to 1:00:00.000?

Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." this message apear on my imac any idea how to solve this problem?

It means the disc is not in a format your computer can read or it is not formatted at all. You can remove the disc or you can attempt to format the disc. If the disc has data on it, then I would not format it.
