Throw in the towel?

Ibook G4 problem.
The battery light is on when I have it plugged into the wall so it's charging but there is no response whenever I press the power button. No whirring or indicator light on power button. I tried rebooting the PRAM but still nothing. Does anyone know if the ibook is toast or are there any more keyboard tricks, anything?

Your profile says Powerbook, yet your post and forum are about the iBook.
iBooks had no clock battery, but Powerbooks did. Which Mac model are you talking about?

Begining to throw in the towel brcause of files/

Click the wrong button and open files disappear. I can't choose what files to open or simply go where I want. I created a file on desktop because I kept losing files. I try to save it and that file isn't on the menu because I haven't used it before.

Throwing towels! Duh, wasn't that obvious?

Ready to throw in the towel

Had enough. As I said before, I have a simple application that creates a box and calls a system routine to keep it on top. It runs outside jws ok. I placed the class file and the dll file in a jar. The jar files are signed.

Just as an FYI. I read the document as suggested and made the coding changes as suggested. Now I get this:

Time to throw in the towel? You judge please..

Okay, so I have an HP Touchsmart tx2z tablet PC. AMD Turion X2 Ultra Duo-Core Mobile ZM-86. 2.4 GHz. Hard drive 500GB. RAM 8GB. Windows 7 64-bit.
I'm currently dealing with an issue where the tablet seems to auto-restarts itself, with no warning. Moreover, the screen can freeze on me, with lines and pixels. And also, several blue screen of death messages appear. though they're not frequent.
Here's my dilemma: I took the tablet to an I.T professional who told me it is most likely a fan issue so the heat-sink needs to be replaced because as a result of the tablet overheating, it will keep auto-restarting itself. However, it keeps happening. Now i'm told it is most likely a video card issue that's causing everything.
I don't want to keep throwing my money around because the next explanation will involve a hard drive issue, motherboard issue, RAM issue, etc, etc.
I would like to know what ya'll think? Here are some pictures of the issue:

Firefox keeps saying the connection is untrusted... I save the exception, yet it NEVER works, everytime I use the same websites I have to "save the exception" again! What can I do to stop this, I'm about to throw in the towel!

I used certain secured websites every day. And every day, I get the same old "connection is untrusted" messages, on every one of those websites. I do know the "add exception" thing, and I do add the exception for said websites... yet every time I start a new sessions, the exception hasn't been stored, and I have to do it all over again. It's getting really frustrating to use Firefox, since I am sick and tired of adding exceptions that aren't getting stored. I haven't added any new add-ons, only thing I have is Mc-Afee Site Advisor , and I had the same problem before I had to upgrade my Windows XP to Windows 7. One day it was working fine, then it started giving me trouble out of nowhere without new software or extension or anything being added. Nothing I've found online works, and I'm desperate for an answer.

You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.

(sigh) Can someone please help??? I'm ready to throw in the towel on my SECOND Mic

So my first Zen Micro froze on me. No amount of tech support could save it. I returned it and received a new replacement. Within days my replacement had begun to freeze, and I would bravely pull out the battery and reboot it. I think (keep your fingers crossed) that I've unstuck whatever that bug was. NOW - my new issue - the dreaded "No license to play - please sync from PC" error. So, reluctantly, I downloaded the 2..05 Beta firmware, which as far as I understood it, resolved this issue specifically. After a successful download and install, I rebooted in hopes that it would be fixed. Well, it's still giving me the error. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. And I am down to one download on all of my Napster 2 Go songs (due to the same problem on my first Micro). So I have three choices:
) Ask all of you what I can to do get this resolved easily.
2) Delete my entire library, and use my last sync license and load it all onto my Micro again (which is a good hour project)
3) Gi've up an buy an iPod. I am pulling out my hair in frustration, and I'm telling you... I always felt the same way you all did about Apple and the iPod. But the reality is, NONE of my friends have my harware/software issues. All I ask for is two consecuti've weeks of listening to my MP3 player without license issues, frozen hard dri'ves, reboots, pulling out the battery numerous times, etc. I just want to listen.... turn it off.... and know that it will turn back on again when I want it to.
Someone please help, and convince me that I should give this one last shot!!

Well, it's perfectly understandable that your iPod-bearing friends don't have issues with N2Go, because they can't use it!
So I guess you have to determine whether your problems lie with the actual player or the N2Go service.
Do you have problems playing/synching songs you've ripped yourself or that you've bought from a service other than N2Go?

Ready To Throw In The Towel...ugh!!

So I started working on rebuilding my credit and paying off some old debts in June. I significantly raised my scores from low 500's to almost 600 across the board to date. Last week, I started working on the medical collections. I called the CA and asked to have a print out of all my accounts in collections. The facility uses a particular CA. There are many that I have. Each visit etc counts as a separate account. The CA was very nice, said she would call me back once she got all accounts and exactly how much I owed in order. I was planning on calling them back, because I hadn't heard nothing back from her. Today, I got alerts of a new collection account and a change in my FICO score. I looked and OMG, 8 new collections accounts were addded from the CA that I spoke with last week. My scores took an 18 point nose dive! I'm so mad, because she never called me back and let it hit my reports. Yes, I owe these debts. I have had the worst 2 years of my life, wasn't ignoring the bills intentionally....the company I worked for went bankrupt, couldn't find work, I put myself through nursing school and my daughter had major medical bills. I had to survive until I found work, so hence, the medical bills had to wait. I am now in the position to make good on my past obligations and trying to do so. I just don't know what to do now, so frustrated and upset! Sorry, just had to vent. I love this board and all of the positive members here. Thanks for all your help.

Switching to Google advice for iCal and Contacts (throwing in the towel with iCloud)

hi all.
moved back to mac about four or five years ago. i have a Mac Pro (Lion), MBP (Mavericks) and an iPhone (iOS7).
ca anyone help me with steps on how to get my Calendar and my Contacts to Google and whether there are any desktop or iPhone based apps to manage this so i don't have to login via a web browser when i need to access this information?
i have to travel soon and the inability for iCal to carry appointments across time zones is a problem for me and my Contacts seem reliably get corrupted via MobileMe/iCloud. it is /not/ fun to see duplicated contacts all the time as well as mashed up contacts (email addresses for some people in the contact for someone else's name etc.).
anyway, i would really love it if someone could help me with url's or links or even just explanations of their personal experience moving everything to google.
also, any suggestions on companion apps (such as sunrise app would be really welcome).
THANKS

Hi all,
I've had a less than stellar experience with 10.6 due to the amount of 3rd party software packages I use that simply don't work well, if at all. I'd like to roll back to my 10.5 installation and wait until the software I use is more stable since my MBP is my work machine and needs to perform flawlessly. The issue is I can't remember when I installed 10.6
TM already did that for you. When you're setting-up the full restore (see item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* ), the list of backups will include both the data & time (in *U.S. Pacific Time),* plus the OSX version of each backup.

I think I'm going to throw in the towel on this Book thing!

I spent a couple of hours making a lovely book. I sent in my order, carefully notating my new shipping address (I have moved).
I get a confirmation e-mail from Apple which shows my old shipping address, not the one I carefully selected.
Quickly canceled the book--that is a lot of money for something I may never receive.
Go back to iPhoto to order the book again--pull up my book--only the cover page is there and all the photos and captions are gone!
So I went to my Apple account and deleted the old address completely (even though it showed my new shipping address as the default).
Started working on the same book (again) and decided to save my book as I go along.
There is no SAVE button?! What?
So I read some notes here--and decided to close iPhoto after every few photos to force save the project.
So I go back to my project, and all the thumbnails are gone--just the book pages I had done are there.
Please tell me--so there is no way to save your work? All you can do is work on it, leave it up on your screen if you have a life, then come back to it later?
Thanks for any help I might get~
Sheree

Instead of closing iPhoto to make sure you've saved changes see the tip at the end of my signature. It will do the same except with much less effort.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

OK, I'm throwing the towel in and I've given up on BB obtaining an iPhone for me

I was the FIRST pre-order at my local BestBuy. My order was placed at 10:15am on 9/14 and everyone told me that I 'should' get my phone during the first weekend of sales.
Since placing that pre-order I've:
-received multiple order emails with different order numbers
-received an email on Sat 9/24 that my ordered iPhone had arrived refereceing a completely different order number
-received a phone call from the store, while enroute to pickup the phone, that the 'iPhone arrived' email was a system generated error and that my iPhone wasn't actually in the store
-recevied an email on Mon 9/25 that my pre-order had been cancelled since I hadn't picked it up. (Hadn't picked up a item that supposedly was never there)
After re-assurances from the local BB staff that my order was still in place, I have to honestly say I have ZERO Faith in Bestbuy at this point. The ONLY contact (other than system generated emails) from my local Bestbuy was the paniced call to tell me my iPhone wasn't really there.
Everytime I've popped by the local store to politely check on things, I've been told "we should be getting White ones in today/tomorrow".
The longer this waiting game goes on with BB, the less my iPhone 4 is worth for trading in so I'm throwing in the towel. I went on Apple's website at 10pm tonight, placed an order for store pick up and found I could pick it up tomorrow at the store by my office.
Thanks for all the frustration Bestbuy. This is my lesson learned to never try to obtain an Apple Product from them again via a Pre-order.

did you get your phone from the apple store?
I am a CAR Geek Squad installer tech lead, but my views that i post are my own and not that of best buy. if you like my posts give me some kudos, if you need further help contact your local Geek Squad installation bay!
Please read my posts with a smile, cause thats how I write them.Although i have a cool avatar by my name, I am just a member of the community that works for Best Buy.

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 as of now and when I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks, the App Store is throwing error "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or not signed".
Is there anything I should do differently? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
Kindly help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

How can I remove the Mac protector icons? I finally deleted that program but I cannot throw away the icons?

Hi, I have a little problem. I downloaded a malware called Mac Protector, for my fault, and now I finally have deleted that program but I cannot throw away the relative icons (in my display). How can I do?

Where on the screen? On the Desktop? In the Dock? In the menu bar? Please post a screenshot.

Throw out the baby!

And this is the perception I get from the numerous bitching sessions here in the recent weeks about so-called "senior" members not being politically correct with each and every single word they type in response to a problem.. as they may just offend someone's feelings. Boo hoo.
So let's throw out the baby with the bath water.
What many of these whiners miss are that
a) experienced professionals are offering their expertise and their time for free on OTN
b) a vast majority of problems raised by posters are resolved within a few hours of posting
c) less than 1% of the postings are being whined and moaned about
d) that a large number of new members have no idea about the very basics of netiquette, never mind how to frame their question or state their problem with sufficient clarity and technical details in order to provide assistance.
But so typical.. never mind acknowledging just how OTN assists many people, let's rather focus on the small number of postings that is deemed to be "offensive" according to someone's sensitive sense of politically correctness.
Pathetic.

> How do we know that they are experienced?
Kind of expecting you to flog this dead horse some more, Burleson.
How do we know they are experienced? By the quality and correctness of their postings. By them providing references to Oracle documentation and providing a clear cut test case if possible. As is the norm with many postings in OTN's Community Discussion Forums » Database » SQL and PL/SQL.
A certificate from an educational organisation does not imply any kind of competence. Does not imply any kind of practical real world experience. Never mind posting a CV on-line and making all kinds of claims that are difficult to verify.. never mind worth the effort to verify.
A book cannot be judged by its cover.
> There are far too many self-appointed experts on OTN, people with very limited work experience.
Just as there are some self-appointed holier-than-thou critics with an overinflated sense of self importance on OTN that think they are in a position to judge what is deemed "acceptable" here, and who are "the experts" and who are not.

When is it time to throw in the gloves?

Once you stop learning and stop enjoying what you are doing, then it becomes just a JOB like all the other slobs out there have... it could be time to quit and change careers...Or it could be time to change employers... then if it keeps happening, change careers...Just remember to do something you really like to do or love to do (possibly a hobby) and you will never feel like you are going to work...I'm actually working on a side venture myself with a relative... it is not formal IT but in a sense it is related and it does take advantage of my natural computer savvy. I am hoping it takes off so I can quit my second IT job and replace it with a higher paying gig, which hopefully will allow me to retire at some point before I am 85...Let us know what you are thinking of doing and how it works out for you.Good Luck!!

Anyone ever feel like just quitting I.T. and start your next big adventure? I have a few ideas that I have been wanting to work on. With the big changes going on at work I think I may finally overcome my laziness and start to pursue them.
So my question is... When do you think it is a good time to throw in the gloves and just walk away?

How common is it that the on/off button stops working? Time to throw away the ipod touch? Safe to fly? No more "print screen"?

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Throw in the towel?
