This is Dumb

This website is stupid all i wanted was a working demo
version of flash MX not about 5 extra links and an error message
why can't i just get a demo file...
I appreciate flash MX is very good i would have like to try
it out but why only restrict it to one god damn mirror.
Regards
Paddy

Trial versions are not available for previous versions of
products (afaik).
So what are you talking about? Why trial old technology?
Flash MX is version 6 - we are at version 8
- and there's a free trial very accessible on this "dumb"
site :)

  • This is dumb: Videos won't play unless I disable Realplayer in ALL browsers. This means I simply won't use Firefox anymore except to test web pages. Wow, IE is

    I tried disabling the Download video feature in RealPlayer Plus just for just Firefox. videos still will not play. The only way they will play is if I disable the feature for ALL browsers. I have found this to be true on multiple computers and other people have experienced this as well. I can deal with it if Firefox has trouble with RealPlayer, a product I paid for, but why do they care what I use in other browsers? This is unacceptable. Especially since there are all kinds of cheap extensions that do the same thing as RealPlayer but not as well. See ya -- for testing purposes only from now on. My web sites will all note works best with anything BUT Firefox.

    Hi nomadsjangle,
    <u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
    If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
    This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
    I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
    Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
    Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
    Note
    * if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
    * take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
    * this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

  • I know this is Dumb but what is MTP and What does it

    Can anyone tell me why everybody is excited about this MTP issue?

    The v2 firmware update for the Zen Micro and MTP in general allows you to plug your player into any Windows XP SP systems with Windows Media Player 0 on it and transfer music and manage your media. It's makes everything more uni'versal and means you don't need special Creative drivers on a computer before you tranfer files anywhere.

  • I know this sounds dumb ? But where is the restore and update button on itunes lol

    dummb ... ha

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • I know this is dumb....

    I'm downloading the Peoplesoft 9.1 release components to set up a demo environment. I can't find the site to download the SQR components.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    When you install the PeopleSoft CD's, it will create the file server and you will have the SQR components in the file server.
    Thanks

  • Help with simple OS upgrade and backup questions for a dumb old previous PC user...?

    Ok...have mercy on me, please...
    I am not completely dumb, I know typical board etiquette, and I have searched for various answers (and found many)...but I just want to confirm my personal "research" and get all of this clear up before I proceed with this insanity.  I know I could probably search more, but this is taking hours, because of all my various questions, one leads to 10 more...
    I have an iMac with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 (which, though not mentioned anywhere?...is apparently "Leopard", right?  Told you I was dumb...)
    Processor:  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    My main goal:  install an app that was in the Mac App store.
    However, with Leopard, I can't access the Mac App store with Leopard, apparently. 
    I click on the Mac App store, and up pops up a Lion advertisement...telling me I should upgrade.  Ok, fine...probably a good idea, anyway...
    But how do you upgrade to Lion?  Apparently through the Mac App store!
    The web-redirects on the Apple site are amusing...taking me on an endless cycle...purchase Lion in the app store...click..."you need to upgrade to Lion"...OK...click..."you need Lion at the app store"...OK...click..."you need to upgrade to Lion to get to the app store"....etc.
    OK...fine...google searches...ahh, I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first, apparently!  Yes?
    (Maybe the Apple redirects should detect that I have Leopard, and direct me to a screen that explains that I must upgrade to Snow Leopard...and then Lion!  Do you hear that, Apple?  Thanks.)
    Anyway...so here's my plan:
    1) Upgrade to Snow Leopard
    2) Access the Mac app store
    3) Upgrade to Lion
    Question A:  With my iMac (specs above), is it really advisable for me to do this?  Can my computer really handle Lion?  It seems I barely meet the minimum with my intel core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...yes?  Is this a dumb idea, even if "OK"?  I know that "minimum requirements" on a PC often meant:  "Well, it will work...but it will be slower than a snail and crash if you run 5 programs at the same time" (which I usually do...)  I don't want to upgrade if the "minimum" is really not enough. 
    Question B:  If the answer to A is "not a good idea", then  do I just need a new computer (i.e. better processor)?  Or do I need more Ram?  And can I add Ram to this computer, and is it relatively easy?  I have added Ram to PCs tons of times, and you always have to determine type of Ram for your board, make sure they "match", or whatever, and then open up the machine and install.  Kind of a pain, but once I have the "right" type of Ram, opening the CPU and installing is within my abilities.  Will it be harder for a Mac?
    = = =
    Next:
    When upgrading an OS on a Windows, you pretty much format the harddrive and start all over.  Back in the day I was a PC user, there wasn't really a "great" way to back up programs and files, so this was a nightmare.  You could NOT just back-up software.  You typically had to re-purchase and install it all from scratch.  Is this the same with Macs?  Furthermore, personal files were scattered all over the hard-drive for the individual software...so trying to back all that up to get it back on the new system = nightmare!  I hate PCs.
    Anyway...so, my iMac has Time Machine.  I am pretty ignorant about this, and based on my previous PC backup program nightmares, I have a distrust for it...and don't really understand how it works.  But in any event, my external drive crashed a few months ago, and I haven't replaced it, yet.  So, I am replacing it soon and will get Time Machine back up and running...setting it up again, etc...leading to question C...
    Question C: When upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, what is the best way to ensure I keep all my programs and files.  My wife and I both access the computer, so two user accounts.  Does Time Machine really do a good job backing up everything and all things?  Is it just a matter of upgrade to Snow Leopard...then immediately to Lion...and then some sort of "Restore" from Time Machine?  Anything for me to "watch out for"...or to do when I buy a new external hard-drive and setup up Time Machine for the first time on it, in order to make this work well?  Will I have to re-install all the various applications I have installed on this thing?  (like with PCs?)
    Thanks for any sincere help.

    Apple has discontinued support for 10.5, it's a plaque of our platform that Apple only supports the last two operating systems in circulation.
    Where as on Windows you can run the same OS version for 10 years and get updates free (if not stolen), on a Mac we get one year, two tops now and if you don't upgrade and break all your third party software and hardware drivers in the process, then your denied security updates.
    On top of that, the OS X upgrades tend to break your older hardware too, or slow it down so much that it drives you to want to buy newer hardware.
    It's funny Apple places the AppStore on your OS X version along with iTunes and Safari updates, but then doens't supply necessary security updates, your machine may be compromised and here you enter vital credit card info, banking  etc. thinking you have a secure machine.
    My advice, since that's a 10.5 era Mac, is to upgrade to 10.6.3 via this disk, then use Software Update until clear. You'll get security updates and your present installed 10.5 software will work in 10.6 using Rosetta.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Rosetta is not avaialble in 10.7 so it could be a lot of your software will no longer function
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I don't see the sense in you buying all new software for a machine that's at it's end of life stage.
    You can buy software in the AppStore with 10.6.
    Question A:  With my iMac (specs above), is it really advisable for me to do this?  Can my computer really handle Lion?  It seems I barely meet the minimum with my intel core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...yes?
    You will need to buy 4GB of RAM to run Lion well, the 2GB is just a bare minimum, and your processor is a bit dated.
    Lion 10.7 is certainly slower than Snow Leopard 10.6, in fact so many wanted to go back to Snow Leopard and one of the resons was Lion was slow.
    So I wrote a User Tip, here, but the Tips were implemented only recently.

    RAM is easy, you can buy it at Otherworld Computing or Crucial.com and install it yourself, there is a little door under the monitor.

    Mac'soperaing system is seperate, it can be replaced or upgraded indepentantly of programs or user accounts on the machine.
    There are some programs that install a kernel extension file at boot into OS X, those get knocked out, but those can be replaced with a new install of the software.
    You should always backup your users files as those can't be repalced.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Question C: When upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, what is the best way to ensure I keep all my programs and files.
    OS X upgrades dont' affect User accounts but they can have a affect on programs installed, which most of your 10.5 programs likely will no longer work in 10.7
    However they will (with a slight update) work in 10.6 just like before.
    You need to backup regardless, I suggest a manual backup of users files to a storage drive, a 10.5 clone on another drive, the your ready to upgrade to 10.6
    10.5 to 10.6 upgrade is rather painless, also 10.6 gives accelerated video drivers, so your machine will appear faster.
    However once you install 10.7, you will slow down.
    Does Time Machine really do a good job backing up everything and all things? 
    No, you shouldn't rely upon TM, have a multiple backup stragedy, TM files are hard to access directly.
    Is it just a matter of upgrade to Snow Leopard...then immediately to Lion...and then some sort of "Restore" from Time Machine?
    No need to restore, OS X upgrades and leaves everything else in place, just some programs (with 10.6) or a lot (with 10.7) when you try to launch them they will fail.
    Also when you connect TM it will do a substancial change to reflect the new boot drive.
    If you were using TM as a "storage drive" thinking you can use the archived versions later, that wil change upon the new OS X  upgrade.
    But in any event, my external drive crashed a few months ago, and I haven't replaced it, yet.  So, I am replacing it soon and will get Time Machine back up and running...setting it up again, etc...leading to question C..
    You need not only TM drive, but a bootable clone and user files on a storage drive.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Will I have to re-install all the various applications I have installed on this thing?  (like with PCs?)
    No, depending upon what OS X version you stop at depends how many programs no longer work.
    You will have to buy a lot of new or upgrade versions with 10.7, not so with 10.6 only updates mostly because of Rosetta on 10.6 and not on 10.7
    My opinion, since that machine is a bit dated, is to upgrade to 10.6, Software update to 10.6.8, and stay there.
    Later on 10.8 is being released after this summer, you may want to consider getting a new machine with 10.8 a few months later to ensure all the bugs are worked out of it.
    Your not a comptuer savvy person, you like most Apple users expect your machine to "just work" I think going to 10.7 will be a bad experience for you.
    10.6.8 will server your needs until 10.8 is released and on new hardware where Apple will hold your hand for free for three months, 3 years with AppleCare.
    Your not a "OS X upgrader type of a person" and Apple needs to get of thier collective assets and pay better attention to it's most common users.

  • HT2955 The problem with the above is this: If a chapter end is reached at the same time as the CD space is filled, iTunes goes to EOJ, ejects that CD and pretends it's done. Other than entering start:end manually you are screwed. iTUnes just ***** for bur

    If you use iTunes to burn Audible CDs you better hope the book is only one CD long. Otherwise iTunes craps-out without warning and cannot be easily restarted. It just goes to EOJ and pretends it's all done with the entire burn. Often this can cause (will cause) the user to waste many many CDs trying to get a burn completed. If a CD-end is reached at a chapter-end point, iTunes assumes the burn is done and ends. The user must manually enter start:stop for each CD, pay constant attention to what's going on, and hope everything goes right. And even if you do all that you WILL find a chaper point at CD end and will have to go manually adjust the start-stop of the next CD and HOPE... that's their strategy: Hope.  iTunes was never designed for books, for audio content that is multi-volume, and it really ***** at it. And if you are unlucky enough to want to burn long books (Truman -48 CDs, or Atlas Shrugged - even more), be prepared to throw away many tens of CDs as you try to get it done; pretty soon it's just cheaper to go buy the book in audio form and dump Audible entirely. (Maybe this is why Amazon made the switch from working Roxio to non-working iTunes... nahhh.. you'd have to be too cynical to believe that...)  If, that is, you don't just give up in frustration and terminate your Audible subscirption as I did a couple of years ago. Audible keeps your paid-for library, but downloading a long book again just brings you to the same point: trying to burn multi-volume CDs on a tool not designed to do so. Maybe amazon bought lots of Apple stock at the same time and just wants you to be walled-in to your iPod and never again use a CD.. maybe they bought the car companies, too, so you can't have an old car and must buy a new one with an ipod attachment in order to listen to your books..... The worst part is that Audible used to use Roxio, which handled all of this with no problem at all. When it was tasked with a multiple-CD burn, it told you how many you'd need, began recording, when it reach end-of-CD, it told you to put in the next one - regardless of whether there was a coincident end of chapter, and kept burning until the book was completed. For unknown - and seriously stupid - reasons, audible decided to use iTunes, and the problem continues. My research across the web indicates I am not the only FORMER customer of Audible that feels this way, or who cancelled their subscription because of this stupefyingly dumb decision - to make the primary customer interface tool WORSE that it had been.

    AC, Thank you for you reply.
    Even though it is supposed to be a 'simple' home video system it has so much potential!
    And i mean i know there is an solution since i know the Caribbean cruises are using apple as media centers onboard their ships. have to admit that i do not know if they are using frontrow or some other application created buy some other company.. i just know that some one must know how to get around it all and make it work..
    Just wish i had someone to get in contact with that is working hands on every day with this product, and get strait, good, final answers.. no "pro support" since im not happy with their answers anymore..
    I know i start to sound desperate.. but thats because i am..

  • Moving to another drive. Have I got this right?

    I hope you guys aren't as mean as your rep!   Arch has a reputation for being hard to install.  So, I decided that I would install to a USB hard drive and move it if I was successful.  Well it wasn't as bad as all that.   I have a working system with an xfce desktop and I like it.:)   So, time to run my Manjaro installation to a backup drive and move onto my laptop's main drive.  I think I know how I want to do it but, I'd like someone to check me.  Here are the steps I think I need to do:
    Use gparted to backup the existing partitions to another USB drive.  That's running now.
    Blow away the partitions on the main drive.
    Boot from a liveCD and use gparted to resize the partiions on the USB drive as needed and copy them where the partitions used to be on the main drive.
    Edit /etc/fstab to mount the right paritions to the right mount points.
    Modify grub to boot the arch installation.
    I should mention that the windows installation that came with the laptop is still on the main drive and I want to be able to boot into it and I'm not using UEFI.  I'm comfortable moving around the partitions and I have editted an fstab before.  I'm not so sure about grub...yet.  If you have a good link, please let me know.  As a last resort, I have a boot rescue disk that can probably handle it.  I've used it to straighten out worse but, I'd like to learn how to do it myself.
    So, did I miss anything?

    I did move successfully...sort of.  Some observations and a question.
    WonderWoofy you were right.  I was going to just move the partitions around with gparted because I could queue up all the operations and go to bed.  In the morning viola, everything the way I want it. It didn't quite work out.  Gparted got errors copying my /home partition.  So, I blew away what it copied, created a new partition, and rsynced the files in my home partition over.  That worked fine and I'm sure it was faster than copying the partition would have been.
    I got /etc/fstab editted and that worked fine.
    Now for the surprise.  Grub's not as dumb as it was last time I played with it.  It was a while back.  It might have even been lilo.  I wanted to boot off the install on my USB drive to mess with grub.  Forgive me, if you understand grub and this sounds dumb and please help me remedy my ignorance.  My bios was set to boot off the USB and there was a grub instance on there.  That instance was set to boot me into arch.  It looked like it found the arch partition on my main drive and booted into that.  It worked though.  So, I shut down and unplugged the USB and started back up.  A grub menu came up with two arch entries, two windows entries (One's the recover partition that came with the laptop) and two manjaro entries.  The ones I want seem to work.  I don't know what it'll try to boot if I select a manjaro entry.  I'd like to get rid of them though.
    I don't see anyplace grub could be detecting manjaro.  None of the web pages I can find that address editting that menu seem to speak about the grub setup I'm finding here.  Everything I've ever read on grub cautions against editting the grub.cfg directly but, I am tempted.  Any suggestions?
    EDIT:
    Never mind.  A more careful reading of the grub archwiki lead me to try this command:
    # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    That did it.

  • Dumbing Things Down By Reducing Configurable Options - Your Thoughts?

    It occurred to me, while typing up a response to another thread, that this could be a good topic for general discussion.
    I sense that the big software companies are starting to put (IMO misguided) effort into reducing the number of configuration options presented to us, the lowly users.  I regard this as "dumbing down" the software in the guise of "making it easier to use", but most likely motivated by a desire to reduce support costs where the use of the software by the masses is concerned.  The thinking seems to be something like "fewer configuration options means fewer ways for an IQ 90 user to screw it up".  These are the users depicted, for example, in Microsoft Windows 7 commercials.
    Microsoft seems to be taking the lead on this, eliminating many of the options we've known and loved in past Windows versions.  Some examples are the inability to choose "Classic Start Menu", fewer ways to set display elements the way we like them (e.g., spacing of list view in Explorer), and the even the loss of ability to configure right-click options (other than Open) for files in Explorer.  Some of these options have just seen the reduction or elimination of the user interface to change them (but they're still in the registry) while others have become simply "baked in" to the code and are no longer configurable at all.  Apple seems to build their whole culture on dumbing things down for non-technical users.
    Adobe, so far, seems MUCH less guilty of this, but they've done it in a few cases, too.  There are, for example, a few user interface changes without offering us an "advanced option" to "keep it the old way, 'cause I liked it that way" - if even for one version to help ease the trouble of changing work habits.
    Personally, as a highly technical user I LIKE having options.  I know it makes the software more complex, but let's face it:  Computer systems are getting more powerful and complex and our ability to engineer ever more complex things is increasing.  To use all that new power fully it's nice - nay, necessary - to have options.
    A wise man once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler."
    Adobe, please consider this my request not to eliminate options in future versions of Photoshop just because that's all the rage elsewhere.  Resist your urges to reduce support costs by reducing user configurability, and concentrate instead on user education.  It's the other guys who have it wrong!

    I believe I've recognized a real trend in modern operating systems, and while Adobe hasn't shown itself to be going down that path hook, line, and sinker YET, I'm hoping a thread like this might help influence them to think twice about doing so in CS6 and beyond.  The big software companies do tend to copy one another.  I dunno, maybe there's a "Software Executive Monthly" (written at an 8th grade level, of course) that they all read.  Or maybe their people just jump ship a lot.
    Hey, like Microsoft, Adobe has fallen into the utter lunacy of contracting technical support to a country halfway around the world where people barely speak the language of the callers.  It's not like Adobe is immune to doing stupid things.  So let's see if we can help them know we don't want them to be stupid in their product direction.
    Whether or not you and I use the same computers, Mark, we agree that oversimplifying Adobe software is not a good idea.

  • Cannot Install OS X On This Machine

    Hey guys,
    So, I bought a copy of OS X for the Installation DVD. I already have Tiger installed, but I threw away the original DVD that came with my iMac. (iMac 24" Core 2 Duo) I know, this is dumb, and a waste of money, but I don't think I had too many other options, and I needed to reinstall. I deleted the library folder to get my Safari tabs back to normal (which worked, believe it or not), but in the process, I also deleted all my fonts, widgets, etc. So...my only option was a reinstall.
    So, this is where the reinstallation DVD comes into play. I inserted it, and I clicked on Install Mac OS X. I get this error (http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/3091/picture1cm1.png). So...I don't know what to do with it, but I read somewhere that holding C during boot-up boots from CD. I have tried this numerous times...to no avail. I have a Wireless Keyboard, which I thought could be the problem (maybe it wasn't loading initially), but I plugged in an external, and that didn't work either. Also...I should mention that holding Alt works just as usual. So...the next thing I tried was to change the Startup Disk in System Preferences. For some reason, the Install DVD isn't even an option! I have also tried Verify in Disk Utility, which tells me to repair (http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/6725/picture1pj0.png), so I try to repair (http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/4883/picture3oe2.png). Wow...seems very screwed up to me.
    Guys, I truly have no idea what to do here, I would appreciate any and all help! If you need more information, be sure to ask.

    You're welcome.
    This wouldn't be illegal for you since you have no way of knowing if the seller has removed this copy of OS X and iLife from their computer which is obviously very doubtful.
    This person could wind up in the same boat as you - wanting or needing to re-install something or perform an Archive & Install or an Erase & Install, etc. which I don't understand for the sole purpose of recovering what amounts to a few bucks.
    Even though you found an Intel iMac restore package, it must also include the identical build as the install package that shipped with your iMac model when new.
    So I suggest that you quit wasting your time and more money on eBay trying to purchase a replacement install package for your Mac that includes an identical build required for your Mac and do as Neil suggested by contacting AppleCare explaining your situation. You should be required to pay a shipping and handling fee only and even if you are required to pay full price (which is doubtful), you will be assured that you are getting the correct install package for your Mac.

  • Less dumb follow-up question about super/sub classes in WDJ?

    This is a follow-up question to the question which Maksim answered in this thread:
    Dumb question about super/sub classes in WDJ
    Question:
    Is there any kind of weird C++-like statement that you can put at the top of a WDJ module to force the module to interpret any reference to superclass A as a reference to some specific subclass B of A ???

    David,
    1. Java has no preprocessor, so C++ tricks are not available. Also I would not recommend such tricks even in C++ if you don't want to turn your colleagues working with same code into personal enemies.
    2. The phrase "easier to create a WDJ custom class loader " makes me smile. First, it's not that simple to interfere WDJ class loading scheme. Plus custom class loaders is not trivial Java topic per se.
    3. The problem "replace all A-s with B-s" is typically solved using one or another GoF creation patterns, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern">Abstract Factory</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern">Factory Method</a>. You may use them with custom class loader, if you really want to
    By the way, all UI controls in WD are created using Abstract Factory (role played by view). So you may use this as good example.

  • Trying to reformat hard drive for my Wife - Cannot download OS to install because of Apple ID problem.

    I booted into the recovery partition. Erased hard drive, and I'm trying to reinstall the OS (Lion) with a brand new Apple ID. When I attempt to install, the installer states "this apple ID has not yet been used with the app store".
    I created a new Apple ID using my Mac Pro. I had to verify her email addresses and everything, the account is valid as far as I know.
    What do I do to get this to work? This laptop will be for my Wife, and she is a brand new account.

    Okay...
      I had to create a second user on my account on my Mac Pro using her ID. I logged in as her. Then I logged into the App Store (while logged in as her) and attempted to download a free app. I was hoping that this would "validate" her Aple ID so that I could then install Lion.
      Then I went back over to the laptop and attempted to install Lion as her, using her Apple ID. It would not let me because Lion was never purchased using her Apple ID. This is dumb considering that I need to reinstall Lion before I can upgrade to Mavericks, which is free.
      So I am currently reinstalling Lion under MY apple ID so that I may later on upgrade it to Mavericks.

  • After log-in nothing

    Yesterday I finally gave in to Software Update and told it to install what it had gathered. Afterwards it indicated that installing the updates for iTunes etc. had gone fine but the system update, to 10.4.8, had not been completed and I should try again. [ I am not sure which version of 10.4 I was running (was it already 10.4.8?), I just took Software Update's word that it needed to install this. Dumb.]
    But since then my iMac will not restart. It goes as far as the log-in screen, I fill in the password, and then the log-in screen vanishes, the apple blue desktop appears, and nothing more happens. Not even a spinning ball.
    Here's what I've tried:
    •Starting up from a Diskwarrior CD, holding down "C" at startup. Same failure. Doesn't use the CD, just tries a regular start-up and shows the log-in screen.
    •Zapping the PRAM. Same failure.
    •Holding down Command-S at startup in order to run fsck.
    This was the only one that changed anything: while it resulted in the same old Log-in Screen failure, & did not allow me to run fsck, then when I restarted again and logged in the process actually continued to begin a normal startup, showing the Spotlight icon in the upper right, but that was as far as it went, then it stuck with the spinning ball for minutes until I gave up. Subsequent power-button startups did not get this far, just did the "Same failure."
    •Finally I disconnected the external drive where my system resides and after doing that, I could get the iMac to startup from the DiskWarrior CD---before it had refused to recognize it at all. But then when I ran DiskWarrior 3.0.3 on the system (reconnecting the external drive just after the iMac had begun to use the CD as its system), DiskWarrior said it "encountered an unknown error while trying to rebuild the directory, rebuilding is cancelled, restart and try again. (36)"
    I've about run out of things to try. As I write this, on my husband's PowerBook, I am running DiskWarrior again on the iMac, but I expect it will fail again as before.
    Does anybody have some suggestions I could try? before I call Apple again and agree to pay them $49?
    thanks,
    C.

    Hi lostcities, and welcome to the discussions.
    You said that after you login, you get the blue desktop and nothing more happens. Do you also get a full menu, dock and desktop icons (mounted hard drives, etc.)?
    If not, it sounds like something I've encountered a couple of times with Tiger: for whatever reason the machine freezes/locks up/crashes, and when you restart, all you get is a desktop and the spotlight icon in the top right corner, with the menu bar cut-off just left of the icon.
    If this is what you have, I've successfully come back from this with the help of Maintenance. I boot the computer in safe mode (hold the Shift key during boot), which gives me a normal desktop, then have Maintenance run all of its maintenance and cleaning routines.
    I'm only guessing here, but I think the problem may be related to the Cron scripts which are supposed to run on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Since we turn off the computers at night where I work, these scripts never get the chance to run. We've only been using Tiger for 3-4 months, and I've had this happen to two different Power Mac G5s, which seems statistically anomalous. This never happened with Panther.
