Yes, you cannot repair the startup volume from itself. Do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You need to either free up space on your hard drive or replace it with a larger drive. You should always have at least 20 GBs or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is larger, as free space.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I am developing material in Captivate 8. The option under Preferences to "restrict keyboard tabbing to slide items only" is definitely checked, but tabbing still leaves the project screen and moves into browser fields in both preview and published views. Any ideas why this is happening?
This error message is explained on MSDN site (Article Q313181). Here is an excerpt:
SYMPTOMS
While using the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC, you may experience the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
CAUSE
This error occurs when you try to execute multiple statements against a SQL Server database with the JDBC driver while in manual transaction mode (AutoCommit=false) and while using the direct (SelectMethod=direct) mode. Direct mode is the default mode for the driver.
RESOLUTION
When you use manual transaction mode, you must set the SelectMethod property of the driver to Cursor, or make sure that you use only one active statement on each connection as specified in the "More Information" section of this article. -
Any ideas why the sound only works on about half of my apps?
Any ideas why the sound on my ipad only works on about half of my apps?
The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
Good luck. -

Took a bunch of photos on vacation one day, and it seems like the first batch from one day are not showing up, but then all of a sudden, the ones from the second half of the day are there. They are not showing up on the photostream on my iPhone on which I took the photos, or on my iPad or in iPhoto on my computer. Any idea why this could be happening? All the other photos I took all week showed up on my Photostream.
Is there anyway to force these photos into the photostream?
Thanks! Any help would be appreciated!photo stream uploads photos from your photo app when it is connected to wifi and the photo app has been closed correctly. That may be why your seeing photos pop up on different dates

Upon entering a LV project file into VSS, all files in the project are left out. Only the project shell and settings enter VSS. Any idea why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Chuck72352,
Hello! It is my understanding that you need to add the individual files to the Source Code Control along with the .lvproj file.
Here is a great deal of information on Source Code Control Practices in LabVIEW.

I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen. Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox. When I return, they are gone. Any idea why this has started to happen?

HI! any idea why the add videos on apple site are not loading on my computer?
You may have something as simple as a corrupt cache. Try resetting in Safe Mode and see if that fixes it. If not another thing to attempt is opening Disk Utility and Repairing Disk Permissions, do this action 2-3 times.

Hi benzgotcha32,
I want you to have the ability to forward any needed emails! Let's review what trouble is preventing the messages from going out. Which device do you have that's not allowing the messages to be sent? What type of email account do you have? Are you able to create a new email and have that successfully send? I look forward to hearing back from you so we can can get this matter resolved.
Thank you,

My songs are cutting short, any idea why?
my songs are cutting short, any idea why?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
